A respondent to one of my letters stated Tea Partiers and Republicans hate facts. I believe that is a factually unsupportable canard. He went on to claim that Republican policies hurt those making less than $100,000 annually, and then raised the specter of racism. In fact the writer specifically stated I must be "an avowed racist."
I categorically deny both charges. If the writer wants to find racism, however, he need look no further than progressive icons Woodrow Wilson, Margaret Sanger and Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. In order that they are mentioned: racism, eugenics and forced sterilizations were contained in their world views and policies.
As for the economic charge, both parties in my view, bear responsibility here. Democrat intentions may be good, but results are abysmal. Poverty rates have remained relatively stable since 1973. It's my position that a reasonable safety net, combined with free enterprise and limited government can make greater inroads on this intractable problem than big government can - for ALL people.
I'll reference two former leaders on this topic. John Kennedy said, "A rising tide lifts all boats." The concept was a growing economy helps alleviate poverty.
Recently, Condoleezza Rice said, "If you are taught bitterness and anger, then you will believe you are a victim. You will feel aggrieved and the twin brother of aggrievement is entitlement. So now you think you are owed something and you don't have to work for it, and now you're on a really bad road to nowhere, because there are people who will play to that sense of victimhood, aggrievement and entitlement, and you still won't have a job."
One of my points was Democrat campaigns often do just that. I submit Condi Rice is not racist. What she said is not racist. Nothing I wrote was racist! I am not racist!
The respondent with his demographic, geographic, racial, gender and age groupings oddly seems to be, from a political analysis perspective, a soul mate of Karl Rove. I am not. To be clear, I do not view politics through the prism of gender, race or class. And I did not do that in my letter! Instead, I value policy and content of character (MLK Jr.?).
Furthermore, I fully understand and appreciate that thoughtful people can have serious disagreements on these matters. For example, Ms. Janet Patrick responded to my recent letter. While we disagree philosophically, I respect her and her response. I thought it was well crafted, articulated its thoughts clearly and in a cogent manner. I again respect and can deal with that.
I also respect low information voter's right, and maybe wisdom, in staying largely out of politics. It's a messy business. My point was these voters, who cut across the broad spectrum of the population, are probably more subject to campaign manipulation, and in Wisconsin, in particular, they seem to have trended Democrat in recent years.
One of the oldest tactics known to cast aspersions on a person or argument is to construct a "straw man" (an argument not made), draw conclusions from the straw man, and then from that state, derogatory conclusions that impugn the person's character.
We have great First Amendment rights in this country. Shouting fire in a crowded theater is not, however, protected speech, neither is calumny. The Fourth Estate and people engaged in discourse always must keep this in mind. Making an argument is one thing. Saying someone else made an argument when they didn't, and then impugning their character, is another matter entirely.

Montana Saddlery
1 Attachment(s)
Has anyone heard anything about Montana Show Saddles? Are they a good saddle? Also whats the price they usually range at. I am asking because i'm looking at buying one and it seems like a good deal. I'll post a picture and let me know what you think would be the price point of it.
Thanks :-)
When you visit this saddle, do a lot of checking underneath. The stirrup leathers should form a complete loop with the fenders attached. A small economy is to make the fender part of the stirrup leather. Check for evenness of thickness of the leathers. Be sure they aren't thick on one edge and thin on the other. If the backside of the leather seems to be in shreds that you can pull, that indicates a poorer part of the hide which isn't as strong. The tree can be seen up under the jockey. You should see either rawhide or more likely the yellowish Ralide. Check any metal parts for rust. Quality hardware doesn't rust. Check the fenders for fairly even thickness all around. Same with the skirts. I am unfamiliar with this saddle but there are many pretty saddles that are of poor quality. Now, the "silver" may have a clear coating. Check carefully to see if it's coming off. The metal could be an alloy that buffs up but if it appears grey, then in all likelyhood that's what you are stuck with. Don't get the idea silver cleaner will fix it, it will make it worse. Hope that helps.
Thank you very much! those are all great things to look for, thanks! I'm going to take a look at it Saturday

Citrix Systems (CTXS), SolarWinds (SWI), Red Hat (RHT) and Palo Alto Networks (PANW) loom as well-positioned tech suppliers as corporate IT departments build next-generation data centers, says Robert W. Baird.
Corporate spending on next-generation data centers and public cloud computing will be above average, says Baird Equity Research in its 2013 technology outlook. It forecasts "low- to mid-single-digit year-over-year growth in IT spend, excluding telecom" in 2013.
Large companies are eying new server architectures in next-generation data centers as well as software-defined networking, or SDN, as IBD has reportedhttp://news.investors.com/technology/112912-635094-f5-sets-strategy-to-reaccelerate-growth.htm.
"Next-generation data center build outs will accelerate as enterprises seek to stay competitive with public cloud alternatives," said Baird in the report. "We believe data centers will not only become more 'virtualized' but will start to be managed with greater centralized automation and intelligence."
"We recommend Palo Alto Networks within the appliance market and Citrix within software. We also expect SolarWinds to benefit. Citrix, VMware (VMW) and Red Hat are among leading vendors investing in private cloud management platforms."

Maggie Shipstead's Seating Arrangements is a stunning debut, an irresistible social satire that is also an unforgettable meditation on the persistence of hope, the yearning for connection, and the promise of enduring love.
Winn Van Meter is heading for his family's retreat on the pristine New England island of Waskeke. Normally a haven of calm, for the next three days this sanctuary will be overrun by tipsy revelers as Winn prepares for the marriage of his daughter… (più)
For a first novel, Shipstead delivers a delight.
Ms. Shipstead's first novel firmly tugs at Winn's hanging threads, producing a sharp social satire.
Despite Shipstead's flair for language and scene setting, her characters are worse than cartoonishly unlikable—they are, with the exception of Dominique, yawn-provokingly uninteresting.

When you're flooded with fetal felicitations, what's the world's most famous expectant couple to do?
The polite and proper thing, of course.
Overwhelmed by well-wishers, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (well, their office at St. James's Palace, really) have begun sending out thank-you cards:
"The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were touched by your kind words following the wonderful news that they are expecting their first baby. It really was most thoughtful of you and Their Royal Highnesses send you their warmest thanks and best wishes."
The front of the postcard-style mail piece features a picture of William and Kate during last year's trip to Singapore, with the duchess wearing pale Jenny Packham and clutching a bouquet of purple orchids.
Though the card isn't signed by Kate, it does bear her C monogram.
Think Kimye will take, um, note?

Tired of paying for the "pleasure" of divorcing? How to Recover Attorney Fees in Minnesota Divorce cases For a variety of reasons, most states in America follow what is called the American Rule regarding the payment of each party's attorney fees in litigation: Which means each party must pay their own attorney fees. This is in contrast to the English Rule, which generally requires the losing party to pay the winning party's attorney fees. The American Rule, however, can bring hours of frustration (and a huge expense) when your ex makes yet another motion seeking to be awarded some obscure item …
Just Some of Our Results
"I found Jason to be knowledgable, professional, careful, and wholly competent in the manner in which he represented me. It was my first experience with the system and I am glad I was represented by Jason Kohlmeyer!"
"The results he got were fantastic. I have referred Jason to many of my friends and would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a competent, caring and results-oriented attorney."
"A long story short. I could not be happier. From preperation, to trial performance. Along with intelligent and strong representation."
"Jason Kohlmeyer did my divorce. I had know idea what was going to happen, since i knew nothing about divorce law. Jason and his team were always there to answer all my questions. Jason got me more out of the divorce settlement then i thought i would get."
"Jason answered all our questions, kept us informed and provided great wisdom and guidance."
"Jason is a outstanding lawyer. He puts effort in your case and does not treat u like a number. He has worked numerous hours on my case. and has done a outstanding job. I would highly recommend him to all my friends and family."

Katy Steinmetz had a delightful rundown in Time of some of 2012's worst words and phrases: the ones that popped up everywhere, like evil prairie dogs, making you long for a society that communicated solely through pictographs. Her bag of verbal irritants included YOLO, adorkable, mommy porn and zombie apocalypse.
But towering above these in sheer horribleness is one word that I couldn't even believe Steinmetz hadn't made up, despite mounting Twitter evidence to the contrary: "amazeballs." I suppose the idea is to convey cake balls, or perhaps some other type of balls, made of amazing. And then, by conjuring this Deep Image -- which in its reluctance to be visualized puts poet Robert Bly to shame -- to fan outward into abstraction, so that anything can be amazeballs: you, me, your go-to holiday outfit, brownies (which are square, and have nothing to do with balls of any kind). It is frightening.
I felt so traumatized by my discovery of "amazeballs" that I dropped everything and tried to prove that it (they?) didn't exist. But in September 2012, amazeballs rolled into the Collins Online Dictionary, with the definition "an expression of enthusiastic approval." The Urban Dictionary glosses it thusly: "Basically beyond amazing. Being so awesome that a regular word can't describe you."

#28 today. had 4 appointments, thought I had another one, she seemed close. 3 appointments tomorrow. booked through thursday this week, maybe friday. fixes coming fast and furious. jobs that were hung 2 months ago are coming on and lots of bulbs need tightened, miscellaneous issues like not overloading one outlet but several outlets are on same breaker and we need to redistribute power.
we are ahead of 2009 and pacing 2010 close. but I held back some rental clients last year til the end and this year I am just throwing them in. so maybe a bit behind 2010. I think I would be happy at 40 new clients this year, but really, last year was the first time ever I broke 40. So I should be thrilled with 40.
But I have learned that as my business has grown my retention rate seems to be dropping. I remember 2008 I retained every customer. before that I kept around 95%. but since then it has headed toward 90%. we may drop below that this year for the first time. we still have 7 that may drop this year, they still have not confirmed or denied.
so you lose 10% of customers out of 200 you lose 20. this year it might be 23. so at 40 new customers I am only growing by 17. growing this business takes an incredible number of new customers per year, but I also really need to take a look at how do you keep clients in a larger business.
we need follow up with every customer, right after the job was hung, and probably a check in phone call once every 10 days through out the "lit" season from Thanksgiving to Newyears day. I continue to see the need for a full time secretary type person, even though I don't see an extra bucket of cash laying around to pay that person.

Bethesda's teasing announcement that we could know more about future Skyrim DLC very soon has been somewhat pre-empted by a eagle-eyed super-sleuth on the Bethesda forums. Investigation of recently changed files reveal that the DLC may center around the Falmer, and include the addition of crossbows to Skyrim's weapon lineup. The files also mention the Snow Elf prince from Falmer mythology, adding credence to the rumours.

Microsoft working on smartwatch - reportComment on this story
San Francisco - Microsoft plans to weigh into the wearable computing market with a smartwatch, Forbes reported on Thursday.
The US technology tighten tapped into talent behind its gesture-sensing Kinect accessory for Xbox videogame consoles to help make a sensor-loaded smartwatch, according to Forbes.
Smartwatch capabilities were said to include fitness features such as measuring and tracking heart rates.
Like the growing array of "wearable computing" devices, Microsoft's creation will be designed to synch wirelessly to applications in smartphones, Forbes said.
last month, market tracker IDC predicted sales of wearable tech items would triple this year to 19 million units worldwide, growing to 111.9 million by 2018.
IDC said the wearable sector is still led by fitness trackers such as Jawbone UP and Fitbit devices.
"The increased buzz has prompted more vendors to announce their intentions to enter this market," IDC research manager Ramon Llamas said in a statement released with the forecast.
"Most importantly, end users have warmed to their simplicity in terms of design and functionality, making their value easy to understand and use."
Apple is also rumoured to be working on an "iWatch," although the iPod, iPad, iPhone and Macintosh computer maker has not commented on that.
Google, meanwhile, recently opened its Glass "explorer" program to anyone in the United States with $1 500 (about R10 500) to spend on the Internet-connected eyewear. - Sapa-AFP

With the elections coming up on Nov. 5, I ask the people of Sprigettsbury township to please make a wise choice. We need to make changes in this township. We need to stop taxpayers' hard earn money being spent so freely. As in a new firehouse, when the old one could be refurbished for a lot less, outsourcing the ambulance service, which may put people out of work and may cost more in the long run.
Kathleen Phan and Larry Crumling are two candidates who are very much concerned with these issues and more. They do want to make changes for the residents and stop unnecessary spending and show the residents the respect we deserve.
Mark Swomley is another candidate who I feel is not looking out for the residents. All Mr. Swomley is concerned with is the businesses and traffic. Well, if he severed on the planning commission for 10 years, then why was he not concerned about traffic before. I have yet to hear him be concerned about the residents of this township.
It's time the people of this township stand up and take back what is ours.
— Jean Miller, Springettesbury Township

Syndecan-3 is selectively pro-inflammatory in the joint and contributes to antigen-induced arthritis in mice

Arthritis Research & Therapy 2014, 16:R148 doi:10.1186/ar4610Published: 11 July 2014
Syndecans are heparan sulphate proteoglycans expressed by endothelial cells. Syndecan-3 is expressed by synovial endothelial cells of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients where it binds chemokines, suggesting a role in leukocyte trafficking. The objective of the current study was to examine the function of syndecan-3 in joint inflammation by genetic deletion in mice and compare with other tissues.
Chemokine C-X-C ligand 1 (CXCL1) was injected in the joints of syndecan-3−/−and wild-type mice and antigen-induced arthritis performed. For comparison chemokine was administered in the skin and cremaster muscle. Intravital microscopy was performed in the cremaster muscle.
Administration of CXCL1 in knee joints of syndecan-3−/−mice resulted in reduced neutrophil accumulation compared to wild type. This was associated with diminished presence of CXCL1 at the luminal surface of synovial endothelial cells where this chemokine clustered and bound to heparan sulphate. Furthermore, in the arthritis model syndecan-3 deletion led to reduced joint swelling, leukocyte accumulation, cartilage degradation and overall disease severity. Conversely, CXCL1 administration in the skin of syndecan-3 null mice provoked increased neutrophil recruitment and was associated with elevated luminal expression of E-selectin by dermal endothelial cells. Similarly in the cremaster, intravital microscopy showed increased numbers of leukocytes adhering and rolling in venules in syndecan-3−/−mice in response to CXCL1 or tumour necrosis factor alpha.
This study shows a novel role for syndecan-3 in inflammation. In the joint it is selectively pro-inflammatory, functioning in endothelial chemokine presentation and leukocyte recruitment and cartilage damage in an RA model. Conversely, in skin and cremaster it is anti-inflammatory.

Hi Syed,
You can use RowCount Transformation before loading data to destination in the data flow task. It gives you row count passing through the data flow pipeline engine.

All Control Flow tasks are operational in nature except Data Flow tasks. - It does mean that data flow task is the only task which moves data from source to destination and does the transformation required in between. Rest other task just perform an operation, like SQL Execute task execute a T-SQL command etc.
Thanks for pointing this out, more information about checkpoint in SSIS which restart the package from the point of failure can be found here:

My husband tried them out and he gives them two thumbs up. He says they are a good blend of heat and flavour. So if you're like me and can't stand the heat, you may want to pass on these, but if you are a fan of hot and spicy these will probably make a perfect late night snack.

|Neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely premature infants conceived after assisted conception: a population based cohort study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23154916 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|OBJECTIVE: To compare neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely preterm infants conceived after assisted conception (AC) compared with infants conceived spontaneously (non-AC). DESIGN: Population-based retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Geographically defined area in New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, Australia served by a network of 10 neonatal intensive care units. PATIENTS: Infants <29 weeks' gestation born between 1998 and 2004. INTERVENTION: At 2-3 years corrected age, 1473 children were assessed with either the Griffiths Mental Developmental Scales or the Bayley Scales of Infant Development. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Moderate/severe functional disability defined as developmental delay (Griffiths General Quotient or Bayley Mental Developmental Index >2 SD below the mean), cerebral palsy (unable to walk without aids), deafness (bilateral hearing aids or cochlear implant) or blindness (visual acuity <6/60 in the better eye). RESULTS: Mortality and age at follow-up were comparable between the AC and non-AC groups. Developmental outcome was evaluated in 217 (86.5%) AC and 1256 (71.7%) non-AC infants. Using multivariate adjusted analysis, infants born after in-vitro fertilisation at 22-26 weeks' gestation (adjusted OR 1.79, 95% CI 1.05 to 3.05, p=0.03) but not at 27-28 weeks' gestation (adjusted OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.37 to 1.77; p=0.59) had higher rate of functional disability than those born after spontaneous conception. CONCLUSIONS: AC is associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcome among high risk infants born at 22-26 weeks' gestation. This finding warrants additional exploration.

Larimer County Commissioner Tom Donnelly appeared to be headed toward a second four-year term in Tuesdays election.
Donnelly, a Loveland Republican, held a small lead over Democrat Karen Stockley in his quest to retain the post in commissioner District 3, which covers the southern part of the county, including Loveland, Berthoud and Estes Park.
Early returns had Donnelly ahead by 2,545 votes. Final countywide results were not available at press time.
Donnelly said the numbers for him would likely get stronger as results from rural vote centers come in and are counted.
We are cautiously optimistic right now, he said. I think it will probably hold up.
Stockley said overcoming Donnellys lead would be difficult.
Im frustrated that folks dont vote down the party ticket line, she said. Its hard to get name recognition and run a campaign when you dont have a lot of money.
Stockley said she was disappointed with the outcome, although happy for Democratic gains elsewhere.
Commissioners must live in the districts they represent, but they are elected at-large by all county voters.
Commissioner Steve Johnson also was re-elected as the representative from District 2, which covers the central part of the county.
Johnson was unopposed.

Now this is November -- windstorm batters region
Gusts were over 60 mph in some spots, knocking trees over, and cutting power to over 150,000 customers across the region.
The southbound lanes of Interstate 5 were briefly closed Monday evening at milepost 239 due to downed trees across the roadway.
And strong winds tore off the scaffolding of an apartment building in Seattle's Phinney Ridge neighborhood.
"I saw it started coming away from the building," said building owner Ron Bryan. "It came down very quickly. Within a half an hour, it went from being a concern to being in the street."
In Oso, a truck caught on fire when it came in contact with downed power lines after being battered by toppling trees near Ramstad Road and Highway 530 near Oso. The father and son who were inside the truck managed to escape without injuries.
In Seattle, 17,000 City Light customers were dark, with the largest outages reported in West Seattle and Rainier Valley, according to Seattle City Light (View Seattle power outage map).
Tacoma Power reported 54,000 out, while Puget Sound Energy says 45,000 of their customers were without power. Meanwhile, Snohomish County PUD says they had over 20,000 people in the dark in scattered outages through the county. Peninsula Light Company says 26,000 people are without power.
Grays Harbor PUD reported an outage impacting about 516 customers in the Oakville area while Mason Co. PUD had about 300-400 scattered outages.
The strongest gust so far was 61 mph in Oak Harbor. Here are some other gusts from the night:
Oak Harbor: 61 mph Port Angeles: 60 mph North Bend: 60 mph Anacortes: 57 mph Alki Beach Light: 53 mph Tacoma: 51 mph Port Townsend: 50 mph Seattle (Sea-Tac): 49 mph Gig Harbor: 49 mph Shelton: 49 mph 520 Bridge: 46 mph West Point/Magnolia: 46 mph Olympia: 45 mph Edgewater: 45 mph Boeing Field: 44 mph University of Washington: 41 mph Bellingham: 39 mph Everett: 38 Friday Harbor: 38 mph Renton: 37 mph
A high-wind warning was in effect through 1 a.m. for the greater areas of Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Oak Harbor, Anacortes, and all of Whidbey, Camano and San Juan Islands and western Skagit County.
A lesser Wind Advisory is in effect from Marysville south through Olympia and points east through 1 a.m. for gusts to 50 mph through 1 a.m.
Gusty winds will continue through the early morning hours then taper off.

by Frances Leviston; introduced by Andrew McCulloch
" Humbles", the opening poem in Frances Leviston's acclaimed debut collection Public Dream (2007), fully bears out the publisher's claim that she possesses an "intellectual seriousness to match her skill". Moving compellingly in a single sentence from a car hitting a deer to the body of Judas Iscariot hanging from a tree, the poem combines visceral shock and moral guilt "with a lucidity", according to one reviewer, "that verges on the hypnotic".
The seriousness and skill both appear to owe something to the medieval ballad. The death of a deer may recall "The Three Ravens", in which a partly Christianized "fallow doe" kisses the wounds of a slain knight before burying him and dying from the effort. And the stricken animal acquires further biblical significance when Leviston compares it to Judas whose bowels "gushed out", drenching in blood a field that was subsequently consecrated and turned into a burial ground. Leviston's technical control also recalls the patterning and parallelism of the ballad tradition. Her use of consonantal repetition, both within and across lines, is especially effective in making what is in fact dense and complex look almost effortless. It is entirely typical of the way the poem slides naturally from roadkill to the Last Supper that the title is both a reference to the need to exercise Christian humility and an occasional spelling of "umbles" – the insides of a deer.
If you have hit a deer on the road at dusk;
climbed, shivering, out of your car
with curses to investigate the damage
done, and found it split apart and steaming
far-flung in the nettle-bed, utterly beyond repair,
then you have seen what is not meant to be seen,
is packed in cannily, coiled like parachute silks,
but unputbackable, out for the world
to witness: the looping, slicked-up clockspring
flesh's pink, mauve, arterial red,
and there a still-pulsing web of royal veins
bearing the bad news back to the heart;
something broken, something hard, black,
the burst bowel fouling the meat
exposed for what it is, found out, as Judas,
ripped from groin to gizzard, was found
at dawn on the elder tree, still tethered to earth
by all the ropes and anchors of his life.

After putting a new brake vacuum pump on my TDCi Focus, I'm still getting oil leaking out of the pipe coming out of the top of the pump. It seems to be the leaking from where the plastic pipe goes into a metal threaded part that srews into the pump. I've asked Ford how much a new one would cost and it's £32, for a bit of pipe with a connector on the end!
I was wondering if it's possible to get one elsewhere that is cheaper, or whether I'd be better off modding the pipe connector by converting it to something where the plastic tube could slide onto it and then be secured with a jubilee clip. Any thoughts?

I bit the bullet and got one from Ford. At least it is the whole hose including check valve and the rest to the back of the engine, I was worried it would just be the bit of pipe from the pump to the check valve!

In Praise of an Opponent: Hats Off to Astros Reliever Tony Sipp
May 12, 2014
Shortly after the Houston Astros jumped out to an early 3-0 lead against the Orioles on Sunday, I Tweeted the following: "As long as Houston has to go to the bullpen, I remain optimistic about this game."
Saturday night, Steve Clevenger had pie on his face; by the end of Sunday's game, I had egg on mine.
The Astros bullpen pitched three hitless innings with five strikeouts to finish off the O's. This from the outfit that has baseball's highest ERA (6.06) and the second-most blown saves (eight). The difference was Tony Sipp (@SippTony).
Sipp, whom the Astros signed on May 1, struck out five O's batters in two innings of work, two more than starter Jarred Cosart did in the six innings he logged. Stated more concisely, he was filthy.
Sipp's victims were as follows: Steve Pearce, Nick Markakis, Manny Machado, Chris Davis, and Nelson Cruz. Adam Jones tapped the ball back to Sipp to keep the lefty reliever from striking out every batter he faced.
Bullpens are quirky. And as the Orioles know from the not-too-distant past, they can be difficult to construct. It's somehow fitting then that one of baseball's worst bullpens is receiving a jolt from a guy who was pitching at Triple-A for the San Diego Padres, owners of one of baseball's best bullpens, and requested his release.
[Quick aside: Sipp had been playing for the El Paso Chihuahuas, the team that pulled the infamous prank on Jeff Francouer earlier this season.]
According to FanGraphs, Sipp was "once a former top-flight closer prospect" but has "shown to be nothing more than an average middle reliever." It sounds like a guy who is paying his dues and working his way back to the bigs. As he writes in his Twitter bio, "Hard work pays off."
I spend the majority of my baseball time focusing on the Orioles and rarely pay much mind to an opponent, especially one who's made a significant contribution to beating my favorite team. Tony Sipp is an exception. His is a good story, and it's one I'll be following from here on out.
Further feel good stuff: Check out an Instagram photo of Sipp with his nieces in the visiting clubhouse at Camden Yards.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study was carried out on 30 cases each of follicular and plexiform ameloblastoma. The sections were obtained and stained with silver staining technique to identify the nucleolar organizer regions. AgNORs were quantified using two parameters; manual tag for the number of AgNORs and area measurement using the image analyzer software, Image-Pro-Express.
RESULTS: Morphometric area measurements of AgNOR were significantly higher for Plexiform ameloblastoma (0.831μm(2)) than follicular ameloblastoma (0.528μm(2)). Enumeration of the number of AgNORs showed a significantly higher number of AgNOR for follicular ameloblastoma (1.71) than plexiform ameloblastoma (1.43). Among the groups studied, follicular ameloblastoma was more aggressive than plexiform ameloblastoma, as it showed smaller AgNOR area and higher AgNOR number.
CONCLUSION: The combination of counting the number and measuring the area of AgNOR dots showed a significant overall difference between AgNOR profiles of follicular and plexiform variants of ameloblastoma.

Preview: An 'anti-biennial' takes over UMOCA
In the art world, a biennial is a once-every-two-years event, a massive group show that aims to cover the waterfront of what's new and now in contemporary art.
Venice started the tradition which is why biennale, the Italian version of the word, is often used by snooty art types in 1895, and starts this year's edition on June 1. The Whitney Museum of American Art has one of the most famous biennials in the United States, surveying contemporary art every even-numbered year.
This month, the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art launches a biennial of its own but, this being Utah, it looks to be different.
"This is, in a way, a reaction to the biennial movement," said Aaron Moulton, UMOCA's senior curator of exhibitions, overlooking the exhibit space where the first Utah Biennial, subtitled "Mondo Utah," will open on Friday.
A traditional biennial "is almost a colonial thing, taking art history and making things make sense," Moulton said. The Utah Biennial "is an anti-biennial. It's not looking at art history. It's like we're just pretending it's only Utah, looking at Utah language and culture."
The Utah Biennial is actually a series of smaller exhibits, which Moulton compares to Russian nesting dolls each one linked to the next. Some of the juxtapositions would have made P.T. Barnum smile, just for their sheer variety and outlandishness.
Some of the works, such as an exhibit from the collection of the Salt Lake Art Center (UMOCA's predecessor), will be from Utah artists. Others will evoke Utah-specific works by artists who were just passing through.
Utah artifacts • One of them, a towering figure in the UMOCA main exhibit hall, is a reproduction of Italian artist Gianni Pettena's "Tumbleweeds Catcher." The original was constructed in 1972 on a vacant lot in Salt Lake City, a nearly 50-foot tower of pine boards filled with tumbleweeds. During his short stay in Utah, Pettena also covered a house entirely in clay and painted a bright red line along the city limits of Salt Lake City.
Robert Smithson's famous earthwork "Spiral Jetty" is evoked by filmmaker Jennifer West, whose specialty is manipulating her celluloid in all manner of liquids. For the Utah Biennial, she will show a work involving two briny locations with a film that was first dunked in the Dead Sea and later unspooled in the Great Salt Lake at "Spiral Jetty." And, in what Moulton calls "almost an Oedipal gesture," West will present not only the resulting celluloid but a "reference film" describing the process similar to how Smithson and his wife, Nancy Holt, created a film to capture the making of "Spiral Jetty."
Speaking of Holt, Moulton touts another "artifact" that will be shown at the Utah Biennial: a concrete core taken from one of the holes in Holt's "land art" classic "Sun Tunnels."
In another corner of the show will be artifacts from another strange visitor to Utah. The story goes, according to Moulton, the famed "pop" artist Andy Warhol gave a lecture in Salt Lake City in 1968 that left the audience disappointed. A year later, word got out that it was a hoax, and that the man claiming to be Warhol was an actor named Allen Midgette (pronounced "mih-ZHAY"), who impersonated the artist in a Andy Kaufman-like stunt endorsed by Warhol.
In connection with this part of the show, UMOCA will show three of Warhol's famous "screen tests," in which he pointed a camera at his subject for five minutes without any direction, leaving the action at the subject's discretion. The three tests will show painter Marcel Duchamp, filmmaker Jack Smith and Midgette.
Faith and film • Moulton, who moved to Utah in early 2012, called Utah "the most spiritual place I've ever been to in my life," and spirituality factors into the Utah Biennial in various ways. The LDS Church History Museum will curate one exhibit within the show. The Central Utah Art Center will organize another, under the theme "Faithful Abstraction," featuring abstract work by artists of faith. And the show will include items from the born-in-Utah religious group Summum including masks and mummified animals.
Politics from all ends of the spectrum are represented. Artist Andrea Bowers is organizing a long table featuring fliers from activist organizations. Follow that table all the way to the end, and you'll find works by Provo painter Jon McNaughton, whose unapologetically anti-Obama works have drawn praise from right-wing media and withering ridicule on "The Colbert Report."
Two eras of maverick Utah filmmaking will be juxtaposed in one exhibit. Works from the 1970s, including Trent Harris' documentary "The Beaver Kid" and Mike Cassidy's animated cult classic "Attack of the Giant Brine Shrimp," will screen on monitors alongside films and posters by Provo filmmaker Stephen Groo, who represents the new generation of low-budget Utah filmmaking, Moulton said.
Other works include a quilt with a 72-hour survival kit sewn into the patches; a miniature skateboard ramp resembling the Wasatch mountains; and a "lost" guidebook of Utah's own Bigfoot-like myth.
Put it all together, Moulton said, and the first Utah Biennial promises to be a cultural event like no other.
"I don't think the art world is going to get this show," Moulton said, "unless they're from Utah."
Utah Biennial: Mondo Utah
The first Utah Biennnial, subtitled "Mondo Utah," is a wide-ranging show of art with Utah connections.
Where • Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, 20 S. West Temple, Salt Lake City.
When • May 10 to Dec. 14.
Admission • Free.
Hours • The museum is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays (open until 9 p.m. Fridays).
Opening reception • Friday, May 10, 8 to 10 p.m., with an artist lecture, live music, food and a cash bar.

Romney Ad: Put Work Back Into Welfare
6:25 AM, Aug 13, 2012 • By MICHAEL WARREN
A new television ad from Mitt Romney and the Republican National Committee looks at Barack Obama's history of opposing the 1996 reforms to welfare and promises a Romney administration will restore "work back in welfare." The ad begins by asking the viewer, "Do you support work for welfare?" Watch the ad below:
The ad cites a report from the Heritage Foundation that argues a new directive from Obama's Department of Health and Human Services undermines the work requirements instituted in the federal welfare program 16 years ago.

And lo, it came to pass that the ancient festival of Easter rolled around again.
And the malls were empty, and a great silence descended, broken only by the vile imprecations of yuppies who'd run out of coffee beans and the lamentations of those forced to eat bread past its use-by date.
And mightily did they rage but to no avail, for the word came down from on high: "Tough shit, pal, it's Easter. Everything's closed."
Another Easter, another storm in a teacup about a handful of retailers flouting the shop trading hours laws. I know filling a newspaper or news bulletin on a slow news day can be a struggle but, really, the spectacle of a reporter and camera crew ambushing a bewildered Asian who'd opened his business on Easter Sunday sums it up: an irrational anachronism which, like it or not, we're obliged to go along with.
It's undeniable that, historically, this is a Christian country and most of us have grown up with and absorbed the core Christian messages.
For that reason it's appropriate that we as a society mark the most important days in the Christian calendar.
It's equally true that many, perhaps most, New Zealanders now regard organised religion in much the same way as some of us regard golf: a practise we engage in at increasingly irregular intervals and find something of an ordeal.
Look at it from an agnostic or atheist point of view: Because a radical named Jesus Christ got so far up the nose of the Jewish hierarchy that they colluded with the Romans to have him put to death, I must be deprived of access to fresh vegetables for two days of a holiday weekend. (It's perhaps worth noting here that the timing of Easter is determined according to a system devised in 325 by a bunch of bishops who assembled at the behest of the Roman emperor Constantine. It's all to do with the full moon.)
Even if you look at it from the viewpoint of an old-school Christian who believes that on the third day Christ rose from the dead, or a new age Christian who regards the crucifixion and resurrection as metaphors illuminating the ideals of selflessness and salvation, the question remains: What's it got to do with shop trading hours in 2012?
Doesn't it trivialise the Easter story to associate it with something as mundane and bureaucratic as a law which bans most forms of commerce while permitting a select few?
Why is it that we can't get a mango, but can go to the movies? If the idea is that we should acknowledge Christ's sacrifice with small acts of self-denial, shouldn't that apply across the board?
It doesn't seem fair that foodies can't get decent cheese, yet rugby fans can go to a Super 15 game.
You would have thought there was an even stronger case for ensuring that it's the same for everyone when compulsory self-denial takes the form of giving up the chance to make money, whether as a business owner or a worker.
Here we run up against the unholy alliance between the churches and trade unions: even though the union movement has historically been anti-clerical, there's a certain logic in a coalition between two institutions with a fondness for saying, "You can't do that". There are some simple issues here. The first is that, whatever our traditions, we're now a secular society.
If you doubt that, compare our politics to what goes on in America where sanctimonious religiousness is virtually a prerequisite for high office.
Remember the nationwide yawn when Don Brash, as Opposition leader, denounced Helen Clark as an atheist? Or the nationwide unease when it emerged that the Exclusive Brethren were covertly disseminating anti-Labour and anti-Greens material during an election campaign?
Secondly, ours is a tolerant society, a wide tent that provides shelter to all regardless of race, creed or colour, unless anti-social tendencies and intolerance of contending belief systems are central to the particular group's identity.
Thirdly, we're a free society. Christians can mark their sacred days with solemnity and quiet contemplation, and others can do their own thing. Why should respectfulness be imposed in the form of a suspension of normality?
This isn't a sinister infringement of individual choice, but it's one we could do without. Those who support this prohibition, whether on the basis that it's appropriate or no big deal, should bear in mind that if you've got a compelling message, you shouldn't have to keep telling the audience to shut up and pay attention.

The Master Cleanse News Digest is a weekly curation of the best articles of the week about Master Cleanse and it's pertaining topics.
From holistic healing to detox and cleansing to personal health and development, this article will bring you all you need to know about your favorite cleanse.
This article is put together thoughtfully and thoroughly throughout the week by one of The Master Cleanse writers, Sonya Solomonovich.
Holistic Healing
Eliminating "Junk DNA"
According to new research by Dr. Theresa Dale, each cell in our body contains a "a holographic blueprint of all experiences, identities and beliefs." This means we may inherit many genetic behaviors that could include disease patterns.
"By contacting cellular intelligence, one can locate and eliminate the precise core identities and beliefs transforming the cellular blueprint and reestablishing healthy cellular communication and wellness," says Dr. Dale. This approach to the emotional origins of disease is called NeuroPhysical Reprogramming™ (NPR). It's a non-invasive method that diagnoses the cause of the disease and rejuvenates the body.

Kung Fu Embodies Holistic Health Concepts
Traditionally, Chinese martial arts practitioners had to study medicine before being allowed to start learning combat techniques. Today, some martial arts such as wing chun kung fu still come with holistic health benefits for the mind, body and spirit.
"It wasn't how well you looked physically, but how well your immune system worked against environmental, physical and mental abuses," said kung fu instructor Daniel Xuan. "Consequently, this outlook was adapted by the founders of martial arts. The arts were built with health, vitality and longevity in mind."

Nutrition Expert Stella Metsovas Presents Digestive Detox
"Digestive Health Detox: 21 Days of Dietary Transformation Designed to Build Health from Within" by Stella Metsovas is a new cleansing diet that combines weight loss with balancing out the digestive process.
Its two main parts are "one ingredient" foods and dietary supplements. The "one ingredient" approach is important because unprocessed food is, as Stella says, "exactly as nature intended it to be." The dietary supplements are colon cleansers, probiotics, and grapefruit seed extract.

Cleansing Not Just a Fad
Cleansing is all the rage these days, but it is more than a fashionable health craze: we all need to cleanse once in a while to remove toxins from our systems.
Dr. Pam Booras, a doctor of natural medicine in Ottawa, Canada, says that most doctors agree about the benefits of a short-term detox for those who have no contraindicating medical condition.
"Our atmosphere and ground has become so polluted and our diets are so bad that our bodies can no longer get rid of all of the toxins that it needs to," Booras said. "Instead, we have to go after those toxins, and detoxification is how we do that."

Healthy Food
Growing Your Own Super Foods
Super foods are known for being expensive, so why not grow them in your home or garden? Radishes, for example, are super-easy to grow: you can plant them directly in the garden, and all they need is some water.
"High in Vitamin C and teaming with antioxidants, radishes are another anti-cancer vegetable. In addition to this, radishes are among the most alkaline vegetables," says gardener extraordinaire Pamela Paige. "Alkaline foods are important because they limit the acidity of the bloodstream. Excess acidity is believed to foster the inception and growth of cancer cells."

Teaching Kids about Healthy Foods
According to the Huffington Post, " if you give kids a little ownership in the process, they might be more likely to participate in the finished product. So if they have a stake in menu planning, cooking and preparing meals, it can nudge them to be a little more adventurous with what they'll try."
For example, "brother and sister team Greg and Lori Heller of Toronto's interactive cooking studio and school, The Chef Upstairs, believe teaching kids to be hands-on in the kitchen is a powerful tool in getting kids to try and like different foods."
"I have seen a huge difference in the children who take classes and what they are willing to try," says Lori. "They watch the cooking shows and want to be like Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver."

Detox Diet
The DASH Diet: Does it Really Work?
The DASH diet has become hugely popular in the U.S., especially with the holidays approaching. It promises to help you lose one dress size before Christmas, which sounds too good to be true. But it seems this is not just another fad designed to lure people who are desperate to lose weight for the holidays.
"The diet promises not only to help you lose weight — in particular around your stomach area — but has been proven to lower blood pressure and cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and developing diabetes," reports Mandy Francis of the Daily Mail.
So whether you lose just a little or a lot of weight, the DASH definitely sounds like a healthy diet.

Detox Naturally During the Holidays
Everyone knows it's hard to resist second helpings during those Christmas parties. Your digestive system may become strained over the next few weeks, but there are natural, simple remedies that can counteract holiday overindulgence. Green juices or herbal teas such as peppermint and chamomile can soothe your stomach, and even a simple recipe like lemon and water can do wonders for your digestion.
"Warm lemon water is used in many ancient remedies to alleviate digestive distress, support liver detoxification, normalize digestive juices, and reduce intestinal bloating," says holistic nutritionist Heidi Fagley, "Lemon activates the liver to release toxins and helps to cleanse and move any roughage that stays behind in the intestines."

Alternative Health
Mistletoe Has Cancer-Curing Properties
Mistletoe, customarily used as a Christmas decoration, has also been used traditionally in European medicine. Now mainstream scientists are finding that Fraxini, a species of mistletoe, effectively kills colon cancer cells. It even seemed to do a better job than chemo. Another potential benefit of mistletoe was its friendliness to healthy cells in comparison with chemotherapy, which is as toxic to the body as it is to cancer cells.
"This is an important result because we know that chemotherapy is effective at killing healthy cells as well as cancer cells. This can result in severe side effects for the patient, such as oral mucositis (ulcers in the mouth) and hair loss," she adds.

New Bill Could Put Alternative Health Practitioners out of Work
A controversial bill could make it a criminal offense to provide nutritional counseling in Illinois. Only doctors, registered nurses, registered dietitians or pharmacists will be allowed to provide nutritional advice; herbalists, naturopaths, and homeopaths could be facing $10,000 fines.
"A lot of citizens have holistic natural health care practices that talk about nutrition—the life coaches, the herbalists, the naturopaths, the homeopaths," said attorney Diane Miller. "The fact that the dietitians are saying only they can recommend anything about nutrition is just ludicrous. The freedom of speech issues in this licensing bill are just huge for citizens."

Salsa: the Workout for Those Who Hate Workouts
If you're the kind of person who hates exercising, then salsa may be for you. It's a fun, passionate dance that makes you forget you're actually working out.
Twisting and shaking your hips is a big part of salsa, which is great news for women who want to lose weight around the hip area. As for men, the lifts and wraps will give your arms a good workout and help you bulk up.

New Study: Snacking Contributes to Obesity
James Johnson of UBC's Life Sciences Institute has discovered that mice with higher insulin levels gain more weight. How does this translate to humans? Basically, it could mean we should stop snacking between meals.
"The findings may mean that the key to maintaining a healthy weight is to continually return insulin levels to a healthy baseline by extending the gaps between meals and ignoring the widespread recommendations to consume small amounts throughout the day," the Vancouver Sun reports, "In other words, cut out the snacks – and make sure not to overcompensate at mealtime."

Juice Fast
Interested in Juicing?
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Juice Fasting might be a good place to start. It includes culinary guidance and healthy recipes as well as comprehensive nutritional information.
"It incorporates more than mere juice recipes or biochemistry and cleansing facts but also a lot of data on the details of making your juice regime nutrient rich as well as cleansing and rebuilding," says an Amazon reviewer.

Personal Development
Start Fresh with New Year Resolutions
A new year is always a good time to rethink our bad habits and acquire some good ones. Whether you would like to simply have more fun or get ahead in your career, now is the time to plot your course and make your New Year resolutions.
We all have one or two vices that we would like to get rid of in the new year. However, if you attempt to target them all at once, it will probably be too much to handle. "It's far more realistic to pick one vice (preferably the worst one) and try to give it up," says Yahoo Lifestyle, "Make sure you tell as many people as possible that you're trying to kick it, so that you're accountable to someone other than just yourself if you slip up."

What's with all the Consumerism?
One of the most-watched environmental videos on the web is The Story of Stuff. It explains how the American government deliberately encouraged people to be consumers in order to revive the post-WWII economy.
The guru and retail analyst of the day, Victor Legough, wrote in 1955: "Our Enormously productive economy…demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption…we need things burned up, replaced and discarded at an ever-accelerating rate."

Health Management
A Daily Activity that Causes Heart Disease
Most people think that getting enough exercise and avoiding habits like smoking will ensure a long and healthy life, but there is one more factor to consider: sitting for long periods of time can significantly shorten people's life span. Even those who walk, run, or swim after prolonged sitting sessions are still at risk of heart disease and cancer.
In order to be a more "stand up" citizen, get up and walk around every half hour. If your job involves long hours of sitting, go grab a snack or stand up and pace when talking on the phone. If you're too busy to get up, fidgeting is a pretty good substitute.

Natural Ways to Avoid Heartburn
According to Mark Hyman, MD, a functional and integrative physician, most of the drugs doctors prescribe to fight heartburn could do more harm than good. It's all right to pop a Tums once in a while, but the stronger drugs are not meant for long term use. The best thing is to avoid some of the major causes of heartburn, such as stress.
"When you're stressed, the LES relaxes and the sphincter at the bottom of the stomach tightens up," Hyman explains. "The result is food traveling back up your esophagus." Just breathing deeply while you eat could be enough to prevent heartburn.

Self Care
Relieve PMS Symptoms
Naturopath Claire Georgiou has come up with some helpful suggestions to combat PMS with a healthy diet and stress-free lifestyle. To get the jump on Aunt Flo, it's best to initiate these changes about 2 weeks before the period is due.
"Increase your essential fatty acids," she says, "Increasing your intake of these good fats may reduce PMS symptoms by reducing pro-inflammatory prostaglandins that aggravate PMS such as evening primrose oil, blackcurrent seed oil, borage oil, fish oils, hempseed oil, flaxseed oil and/or krill oil."

What if You Can't Afford Therapy?
The hourly rates of most therapists start at about $100, so what do you do if you need help or guidance but can't afford it? There are many different options such as joining a support group or trying out a training clinic where students are supervised by more experienced professionals.
There is also a wealth of information available that you can explore on your own, from websites to online TED talks to self-help books.
