Role of TLR4/NADPH oxidase/ROS-activated p38 MAPK in VCAM-1 expression induced by lipopolysaccharide in human renal mesangial cells

Cell Communication and Signaling 2012, 10:33 doi:10.1186/1478-811X-10-33Published: 15 November 2012
In bacteria-induced glomerulonephritis, Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) activation by lipopolysaccharide (LPS, a key component of the outer membranes of Gram-negative bacteria) can increase oxidative stress and the expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), which recruits leukocytes to the glomerular mesangium. However, the mechanisms underlying VCAM-1 expression induced by LPS are still unclear in human renal mesangial cells (HRMCs).
We demonstrated that LPS induced VCAM-1 mRNA and protein levels associated with an increase in the promoter activity of VCAM-1, determined by Western blot, RT-PCR, and promoter assay. LPS-induced responses were inhibited by transfection with siRNAs of TLR4, myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), Nox2, Nox4, p47phox, c-Src, p38 MAPK, activating transcription factor 2 (ATF2), and p300 or pretreatment with the inhibitors of reactive oxygen species (ROS, edaravone), NADPH oxidase [apocynin (APO) or diphenyleneiodonium chloride (DPI)], c-Src (PP1), p38 MAPK (SB202190), and p300 (GR343). LPS induced NADPH oxidase activation, ROS production, and p47phox translocation from the cytosol to the membrane, which were reduced by PP1 or c-Src siRNA. We observed that LPS induced TLR4, MyD88, c-Src, and p47phox complex formation determined by co-immunoprecipitation and Western blot. We further demonstrated that LPS stimulated ATF2 and p300 phosphorylation and complex formation via a c-Src/NADPH oxidase/ROS/p38 MAPK pathway. Up-regulation of VCAM-1 led to enhancing monocyte adhesion to HRMCs challenged with LPS, which was inhibited by siRNAs of c-Src, p47phox, p38 MAPK, ATF2, and p300 or pretreatment with an anti-VCAM-1 neutralizing antibody.
In HRMCs, LPS-induced VCAM-1 expression was, at least in part, mediated through a TLR4/MyD88/ c-Src/NADPH oxidase/ROS/p38 MAPK-dependent p300 and ATF2 pathway associated with recruitment of monocyte adhesion to kidney. Blockade of these pathways may reduce monocyte adhesion via VCAM-1 suppression and attenuation of the inflammatory responses in renal diseases.

Fireworks Effects
|Quickmatch is the most common fuse used in professional fireworks because it can burn at several hundred feet per second, even though it's just black match encased in a paper tube. How does this work? When bare black match burns, it produces a lot of gas, which escapes in every direction (left). The burning part only ignites the portion of the fuse directly in front of it, which then ignites the fuse ahead of it, etc. But when black match is covered by a paper "pipe" and ignited, the hot gases don't have anywhere to go except straight ahead. The amount of pressure and small size of the pipe cause the burning hot gases to shoot down it at incredible speeds, igniting the fuse way ahead of the actual flame point.
|One spectacular effect (and my personal favorite) is aerial shell burst patterns. Shapes such as atoms (as shown), smiley faces, peace signs, and flowers can be created by carefully laying out the colored stars in the shape of the desired pattern within the shell (the stars inside the shell aren't actually colored, I just colored them for reference purposes). When the shell bursts from the center, each of the stars is propelled away from it in a different direction, "enlarging" the pattern of stars hundreds of times into the sky.
|Whistling fireworks are usually made from thick, narrow bore
tubes that are about 3 cm long. The composition in the tube must be
well-consolidated to eliminate any air pockets which may act as a
mini-combustion chamber and cause the
device to explode. These type of fireworks require two things to
whistle: a special composition that will make a sound under certain
burning conditions, and an empty space in the tube to act as a
resonator. Whistles are filled only about halfway with pyrotechnic composition
so that when it burns, the empty tube above can vibrate to amplify and
enhance the musical tune that the composition creates.
The whistling device pictured here is a consumer Piccolo Pete. Because of its unusually large size, the pitch of the whistle changes as the composition burns away to create more hollow tube space above. Smaller whistles can be placed in fountains, shells, and rockets.
|Humming fireworks consist of a thick walled tube filled with powder and capped off at either ends with clay. A small hole is drilled in the side at such an angle that when the composition is ignited, the thrust spins the device around rapidly on its axis. During each revolution, there is a brief period of time when the thrust hole (the source of sound) is pointed towards the observer. The rapid increase/decrease of sound pitch created by the spinning tube results in a continuous noise that we perceive as humming. Hummers can be placed in shells, or used by themselves (such as Ground Bloom Flowers).
|Strobe composition is a solid mixture that consists of two main parts: a composition that reacts easily, and one that doesn't. When the mixture is ignited, the more reactive compound burns to create a great deal of heat. This heats up the the more difficult to ignite portion of the mixture, which goes off with a sudden flash once it reaches ignition temperature. Strobe composition can be made into stars and put into shells/aerial effects, or just used by itself in the form of the consumer fireworks pictured to the left.

Back when I was revisiting "Freaks and Geeks" last summer, I would frequently lament my decision to buy the regular, albeit bonus-laden, version of the DVD set, instead of the extra-special, absurdly bonus-laden, Yearbook Edition. Well, as David Lambert at TVShowsonDVD.com points out, the rising stars of Judd Apatow, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, et al was apparently enough to convince Shout Factory! that it was time for a re-release, in late October. It ain't cheap (Amazon price is $119, and that's apparently 50 bucks less than the list retail price), but if you're as obsessed with that show as I am, it's worth it. Now I can finally stop giving my buddy Steve the stinkeye every time I'm at his house and notice the Yearbook up on his shelf.

New Practices #81: Jack Woolley
The latest in a series of practice profiles looking at architects who have recently decided to go it alone either through choice or redundancy
Jack Woolley, North London
Founded: Spring 2010
Main people: Jack Woolley
Where have you come from?
I became a chartered member of the RIBA in 2009, but before that I was a director of the industrial design and engineering consultancy Isis. I was also a co-founder of Alva, a lighting company that designs and manufactures light fittings from materials indigenous to the UK.
What work do you have and what projects are you looking for?
I've just completed a live/work unit on the site of a former carpenter's workshop. I'm working on a partially sunken house integrated into its garden, and also on a device to help novice musicians with basic theory.
I like to have projects at different scales going on simultaneously – it is stimulating to be working on something you can hold at the same time as a space you can occupy.
What are your ambitions?
I would like to work with people I respect and whose company I enjoy. I want to attract projects where I can identify and reveal what is unique or special about a site, and add something to enhance it.
How optimistic are you?
I don't think the recession has reached its lowest point, but I think there are opportunities for architects who can take an entrepreneurial approach to setting up projects, perhaps helping clients to find sites and exploit latent potential.

Political Hay
Identity Crisis
Democrats "embrace it all" in a search for transformation.
DENVER -- Standing in front of a 16th Street sandwich shop, "Jessica Sideways" held up a hand-lettered poster: "I am an atheist, lesbian, male-to-female transsexual and I embrace it all!"
Jessica hasn't yet gotten the Change, but the 20-year-old blonde has Hope -- working for $11 an hour, she's almost saved up enough money to make an appointment with a surgeon in Thailand who will perform the transformation.
Jessica wasn't a delegate to this week's convention, but in some ways her plight epitomizes the Democratic Party's search for identity in the post-Clinton era.
For decades, the Democrats identified primarily as the party of "the working man," especially labor union members. This organizing base formed the foundation of Democratic dominance for more than three decades after the advent of the New Deal.
Union membership peaked in the 1950s at about 35 percent of the U.S. labor force. The labor movement's subsequent steep decline -- unions now represent less than 8 percent of private-sector workers -- sent the Democrats in search of new constituencies.
Beginning with the McGovern campaign in 1972, the party sought to cobble together a new majority composed of left-leaning professionals, students, feminists and minorities. Yet this coalition has proven insufficient to re-establish the political dominance Democrats had enjoyed from the 1930s until their old majority collapsed amid the anti-war protests and urban riots of the 1960s.
The Republican ascendancy that began with Ronald Reagan's presidency eventually forced Democrats to seek a new formula, the appeal to suburban middle-class "soccer moms" that was Clintonism.
BILL CLINTON POPULARIZED a new mode of Democratic discourse, framing policy proposals in terms of their putative benefit to "working families." This language not only gave the party a means of reclaiming territory lost to Republican "family values" rhetoric, but also distanced Democrats from the welfare policies that had done so much to foster taxpayer-subsidized disorder in urban America.
The clearest expression of this new liberalism was Clinton's statement in 2000 that the American dream should guarantee "that if you work hard and play by the rules, you ought to have a decent life and a chance for your children to have a better one."
Clinton's wholesome-sounding formulation cloaked the entitlement mentality in an appeal to fairness, and made Republican opposition appear mean-spirited. Who, after all, could oppose a chance for children to have a better life?
Despite its rhetorical advantages, however, Clintonism never resulted in a Democratic majority. Clinton got 43 percent of the popular vote in 1992 and 49 percent four years later, while his successor, Al Gore, got 48 percent in 2000.
The Bush presidency has ceded much of the domestic-policy terrain claimed by Clintonism. In his 2000 State of the Union address, for example, Clinton proposed an education plan with "higher standards" that "holds states and school districts accountable for progress, and rewards them for results" -- reform proposals much like the No Child Left Behind Act that President Bush pushed through Congress in 2001.
Abandoning the limited-government agenda that had incited accusations of Republican mean-spiritedness in the 1990s, Bush instead sought to consolidate the support of social conservatives with his "faith-based initiative," funding for abstinence education, and opposition to gay marriage.
Whether that approach might have led to Karl Rove's "permanent Republican majority" in an administration focused exclusively on domestic policy, 9/11 and the Iraq war refocused the political debate. The GOP initially benefited from the wartime environment, scoring unprecedented mid-term gains in 2002 and re-electing Bush in 2004.
Scandals and war fatigue enabled Democrats to recover, demonizing Bush and portraying other Republicans as his henchmen. Whereas the limited-government conservatism of Newt Gingrich had been denounced by liberals as mean-spirited, the big-government conservatism of the Bush administration was denounced as a fascistic threat to civil liberty.
DEMOCRATS DISCOVERED a new formula for success in offering voters a new political identity: Not Republican. Many of the Democrats elected to Congress in 2006 ran on ostensibly conservative platforms -- opposing gay marriage and taking get-tough stances against illegal immigration -- but without the telltale "R" affiliation to brand them as allies of Bush.
Negative identification can be a potent force in politics, as Republican strategists have long realized. Since the 1980s, the GOP has rendered the "liberal" label toxic in the eyes of middle-class voters who learned to associate the term with the failed policies of Jimmy Carter and the tax-and-spend agenda of post-McGovern Democrats.
For two decades, Republicans succeeded when they could offer voters a clear Not Liberal alternative to Democrats. The political denouement of the Bush era is that in the eyes of many voters, Not Republican is now more popular than Not Liberal.
It is in this confused electoral environment that Barack Obama has been able to generate such enthusiasm with his vague promises of Hope and Change.
The Democrats who cheered Thursday's apotheosis of Obama at Invesco Field were celebrating the political potential of the ultimate Not Republican, the contradiction of everything that the Bush-era GOP has come to symbolize.
Many Republicans seem astonished that the Democrats would nominate Obama, an associate of outspoken radicals like Bill Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, and a creature of Chicago's notoriously corrupt machine politics.
What Obama's candidacy represents is the Democratic Party's confidence that America is ready for a president -- any president -- who is Not Republican. The fact that Obama continues to lead in most national polls shows that that confidence is not entirely unwarranted.
If Americans are ready for a Not Republican president, they will empower a Democratic Party that is just beginning an uncertain transition from the Clinton era.
Democrats are seeking to create for themselves a new identity, a transformation that begins with rejecting the past in favor of nebulous promises for the future. Like Jessica Sideways, today's Democrats are ready to "embrace it all."

I have a custom TreeModel representing the nodes of a JTree. It works fine; if certain attributes of the nodes change, and those changes warrant a change in the GUI, I am able to make those changes appear.
However, if I change the structure of the model -- by removing a node, for example -- then the model is correctly changed, but the JTree does not reflect those changes.
I know that I need to fire an event of some sort, but none of the JTree fire* methods seem appropriate. (I need something like JTree.nodesRemoved().)
I'm uncertain how to communicate those changes to the tree. (It seems to me that it should be done automatically, but that's just how I'd do it.)
Any suggestions?

Practice Report: October 13
Chivas USA practiced today on field 7 (turf surface) in preparation for Friday's match against the Seattle Sounders at 8 p.m. (ESPN2 & ESPN Deportes) at Qwest Field, which is also artificial turf. Today's training lasted for about 40 minutes in which Head Coach Martín Vásquez tested a few line ups. It is still uncertain if forward Justin Braun will make the trip after suffering a concussion last Saturday against Toronto FC. Braun didn't see a lot of action in today's practice and it will be determined later today or tomorrow morning if he makes the trip to Seattle or not.
Defender Dario Delgado and midfielder Osael Romero will be expected to report tomorrow after being call up to their national teams. Delgado will not make the trip after suffering a right foot fracture against Philadelphia Union three weeks ago.
The team will travel tomorrow morning to Seattle and will try to maintain its unbeaten streak against the Sounders. Chivas USA is the only MLS team that the Seattle Sounders hasn't beaten or scored upon in MLS play. The Sounders are coming off a 3-1 victory against Chivas Guadalajara in a friendly match played last night.

Godspeed, brothers and sisters. You fought the good fight. Now rest in peace…
Officer Killed, One Hurt When Vehicles Collide During ChaseOfficer Down: Nathan Laurie - [River Oaks, Texas]
River Oaks lawmen were chasing pickup when accident occurred.
By Jeff Mosier, The Dallas Morning News
RIVER OAKS, Texas -- A police officer was killed Thursday morning and one was injured when their department vehicles collided while chasing a traffic violator.
Officer Nathan Laurie, 43, who had been with the River Oaks Police Department for about two years, was pronounced dead at Harris Methodist Fort Worth Hospital shortly after the 2:28 a.m. crash.
Officer Jesse Rios, who was driving the other police sport utility vehicle, was treated early Thursday at Harris Methodist and released. The driver of the stolen pickup that the officers were chasing has not been found.

En espanol: Persecucion deja un policia muerto
River Oaks Mayor Herman Earwood said Officer Laurie is believed to be the first police officer to die in the line of duty in the close-knit suburb northwest of downtown Fort Worth.
"This is like losing a member of your family," he said. "You can't replace him."
Officer Laurie is survived by his wife, two sons and a daughter. Services were pending.
Police Chief Daniel Chisholm asked the Tarrant County Sheriff's Department to investigate the accident. Mike Simonds, chief deputy for the Sheriff's Department, said he had few details about the accident and was still looking into the case.
Chief Chisholm said the accident occurred after what appeared to be a routine traffic stop. Shortly before 2:30 a.m., Officer Laurie spotted a pickup with no license plates driving south on Yale Street. A minute after he told dispatchers that he was stopping the truck, Officer Laurie radioed that the pickup had bumped his police SUV.
Officer Rios, 27, was asked to help in the traffic stop. He was driving west on Tulane Avenue toward Yale.
A resident who saw the accident said the two police vehicles entered the intersection at the same moment with a violent crash. The vehicles came to rest against separate trees in a front yard on Yale. Officer Laurie's SUV had turned on its side.
'We need help!'
Jason Reason, who had stepped onto his porch to smoke a cigarette, said he saw the truck speeding through the residential neighborhood. He estimated that the pickup was traveling at least 85 mph in the 30 mph zone, and he said the police SUV driven by Officer Laurie was close behind. He couldn't tell how fast Officer Rios was driving.
After the collision, Officer Rios climbed out of his vehicle, calling: "Nathan! Nathan! We need help!" Mr. Reason said.
Chief Chisholm, who has been with the department for nearly 20 years, said it was too early to say whether Officer Laurie was involved in a high-speed chase. He said that the officer turned on his emergency lights two blocks away from the accident. It's doubtful, he said, that the SUV could have built up much speed.
Mr. Earwood, the mayor, said that when the subject of high-speed police chases came up at a City Council meeting, he said he told the audience that River Oaks police didn't engage in those types of chases. He said he'll wait for the investigation to be completed before making suggestions about policy changes.
"Without details, we don't know how to prevent this from happening again," he said.
The truck that started the chase was found shortly after 5 a.m. at a River Oaks apartment complex. The truck was stolen overnight from a car dealership in nearby Sansom Park. Chief Simonds said his investigators are trying to determine whether the driver knew someone at that complex.
As the investigation continued Thursday, police officers and residents grieved.
Officer Laurie retired from the military several years ago and decided he wanted to start a second career in law enforcement. He worked as a jailer for the Sheriff's Department before attending a police academy.
The police chief said he was a model officer, an imposing figure with a good heart.
"He could be as hard as he needed to be, but he could be as soft as a teddy bear the next minute," Chief Chisholm said.
Mr. Earwood said that anyone who saw Officer Laurie would remember him immediately. He was tall, physically fit and looked like he just walked out of a Marine Corps recruitment poster. He was a straight-arrow lawman who most of all wanted to get criminals off the streets, especially in cases involving domestic violence.
"He wanted to be in on those cases," Mr. Earwood said. "He's not going to allow one person to beat up another."
At the North Central Texas Council of Governments Regional Police Academy, he was known as a cadet who didn't understand why officers needed ethics courses. If the other cadets needed training to be ethical, they shouldn't be there, he explained to his instructors.
Karyn McCoy, training coordinator at the academy in Arlington, said Officer Laurie was the most honest person anyone was likely to meet.
"He touched our hearts," she said. "We are not going to recover quickly."
'A crushing blow'
Ms. McCoy said that Officer Laurie continued to return to the academy to evaluate cadets and participate in training exercises. Occasionally, he would get paid for the work, but most of the time, he volunteered his time. He wanted to make sure the new officers were prepared for the job that lay ahead, Ms. McCoy said.
Rob Morrison, a 42-year resident of River Oaks, said Officer Laurie's death is cause for mourning throughout this city.
"It's a crushing blow," he said.

County employees aid disaster victims across Pacific
July 5, 2011
By Staff
King County employees donated more than 8,100 hours of accrued leave to disaster victims in Japan and New Zealand.
The county converted leave from 458 employees into a $286,815 cash donation to the American Red Cross for continuing earthquake and tsunami relief efforts.
"This outpouring of support for our neighbors across the Pacific is another example of the determination to make a difference," King County Executive Dow Constantine said in a statement. "I am so proud of King County employees for donating their hard-earned leave to help the people of Japan and New Zealand as they continue to recover from these tragic events."
Constantine authorized the leave donation program in March, shortly after a massive earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan. Because that disaster followed a major earthquake in New Zealand, the county opted to combine efforts and help the victims of both disasters.
The county enacted a similar donation program after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. Following that disaster, 367 employees donated more than 5,500 hours of leave, or almost $200,000 for Global Impact, a federation of 55 international aid agencies.

So tell me, what does it feel like to have someone else's lungs inside your body?"
The question was one of the strangest I'd ever asked anybody, mainly because I'd never known anyone who'd had a double lung transplant. When the American Cancer Society's 37th Annual Great American Smokeout came and went last Thursday with hardly a word mentioned in the media, I thought perhaps I should.
And to all you smokers out there — especially those who hate self-righteous, exsmokers (as I did when I was one of you) — I hope you'll take time to read this.
Like most kids who couldn't wait to be adults, I used to sneak to smoke cigarettes on occasion. Then, once drafted into the Army where it seemed that everyone smoked, I went full bore and ultimately was smoking three packs a day.
Then, Jan. 16, 1991, tired of being such a weak person to allow something so foolish to rule my life, I crushed my half-empty pack of Vantages into a ball and tossed it and my habit away for good. (And because I quit cold turkey with no patch or crutch and had no withdrawals after 23 years of nicotine ingestion, I wonder if addiction is actually in the mind and not the body?) Fast forward 21 years and you'll find me struggling to do the one thing I love to do most: sing. Why? Because all those years of smoking damaged my lungs to the point where now I can hardly sing a line without having to stop and gasp for a breath.
Despite that disappointment I am eternally grateful for making the decision to quit when I did because things could have been much worse for me ... like it was for her.
Bobbie Cosby Navarre is a couple of years younger than me and has been my friend for most of my life. Our families have attended the same church for over 60 years and her mom and dad, Austin and Loretta, and sister, Linda, are some of my best friends on the planet.
Bobbie, like me, was a heavy, longtime smoker and in 2003 was told she would die without a lung transplant. On Sept. 28, 2005, she had that transplant and today is doing great, happy and most certainly grateful to be alive.
I knew her story had to be fascinating so in conjunction with the Smokeout I asked if she would share it with me and, cautiously, she agreed.
I knocked at the door of their Eaton Dr. home, located just off N. Telegraph Rd., and was greeted by Austin.
The Cosbys, like the Treeces, were Tennessee transplants so naturally we had to first partake in the Southern tradition of having a meal together. It was truly a Southern favorite — soup beans and cornbread — and I remember thinking that Loretta's cooking was just about as good as my mother's.
After our meal I started my questions for Bobbie.
"So, when did you start smoking and why?"
"I smoked a little in high school but didn't take it up till I went off to nursing school," she said. "I've always been a hyper person and when I smoked, it calmed me down, so anytime I got upset, I smoked.
"Also, back then, smoking wasn't taboo." My mind flashed back to the full-page ads we used to see in magazines and newspapers; specifically, I recalled ones that featured a robed doctor stating, "More doctors smoke Camels than any other cigarette." My how times change as today you can't even be on hospital grounds with a cigarette.
"I ignored it when the surgeon general issued warnings," she said, "but as the years went by I set a goal to quit when I was 30; then it was 40. By this time I knew something was happening in my body but I just enjoyed smoking so much, especially after a meal or with a cup of coffee."
She stopped and looked me in the eye and said, "In fact, I'd love to have one right now!"
As shocking as that statement might be to some considering her circumstance, I knew exactly what she was talking about, and answered, "So would I!"
I, too, loved smoking so much that as crazy and wrong as I now know it to be, I had to agree. At that moment I also imagined that ex-heroin addicts might think and say the same about one more fix. Fortunately, the knowledge of the slow death — or an expedited one in the case of heroin — was greater than my and her desire to smoke.
"Like I said," she said, "I was always nervous and my hands would shake. There were times at nursing school I'd have to use both hands to hold a medicine bottle for the doctor to draw from with a syringe. But I'd smoke a cigarette and calm down. Some take a pill; I took a cigarette.
"I think it was 1996 when I started getting really short of breath. I worked 20 years at Mercy Memorial Hospital then 13 more at the IHM Motherhouse. I couldn't go from the parking lot up to my floor without stopping to rest. When my break came, I'd be so tired by the time I got back outside I could hardly even smoke.
"I let smoking rule my life! If someone invited me to their home and I couldn't smoke there, I wouldn't go. I'd go to church but not Sunday school because that was too long to go without a cigarette.
"I tried to quit. I tried the patch, which did nothing for me, then got a terrible case of shingles because my nerves were so bad so I quit trying. My family and friends all begged me to quit so I'd say, 'Okay, I'm quitting!' but then I'd sneak and smoke when no one was around and that, of course, made me feel terrible!
"One morning in 1998, I had a bronchial infection and started to cough like I did every morning but suddenly couldn't get any air. My lungs were so clogged I couldn't breathe and thought I was dead. I looked at the clock; it was just before 7 a.m. As I gasped for breath I knew I should call 911 but was worried that I couldn't talk. Fortunately they knew where I was and were there in no time.
"I remember crying ... ."
Bobbie's blank stare suddenly drifted toward the window as people do when recounting awful moments in their lives.
"Crying," she repeated a second and third time before ending with, "when they told me I had emphysema. I knew it was irreversible because the damage was done. I wasn't really surprised, I just didn't want to hear it."
Bobbie turned back to me and re-engaged in our conversation.
"I was discharged and made it about two weeks before I started smoking again. Then on Dec. 13, 2003, again I had an attack and couldn't breathe. My sister took me to the ER. I remember going for Xrays and suddenly through the darkness hearing the doctor say, 'If you don't get a lung transplant your next infection will be your last!' I thought, 'Lung transplant?' I had never heard of that and remember thinking that they'd never make one available to one who smoked.
"I was skin and bones; my chest was sunk in. I was down to 85 pounds and looked like one of those poor souls from Ethiopia. They kept me on a ventilator and CPAP machine and gave me anxiety pills when I'd have a panic attack.
"Dec. 28 I went to Cleveland Clinic to inquire about a transplant and was so weak I could hardly go from room to room. All the requirements just to be considered were explained to me and I remember coming home and laying on the couch and thinking, 'If it's God's will for me to live then I'll do everything I can to prepare for this procedure.' "Those requirements included heart catheter, stress test, tons of X-rays, pulmonary rehabilitation. I had my chest measured every way possible and had to get clearance from my gynecologist. All this took place between January and September, 2005."
Throughout our conversation Bobbie transferred her gaze from me to the blank space outside the back window, the same space one finds when staring into a campfire. However, each time she was ready to share something heavy, she would turn and look me square in the eye.
" When I think about it now," she said, "I am amazed that I even lived that long. I also believe with all my heart that God was empowering me because I know I couldn't have done it on my own."
That thought triggered a similar belief of my own as I remembered all the prayers I and so many others had offered up to the Great Physician on behalf of my sweet Renee during her brain surgery, paralysis and extensive rehabilitation. As the administrator of our church e-mail prayer request ministry, I knew Bobbie had received a similar outpouring.
"Cleveland Clinic called Sept. 20 and told me they had put me on the list to receive a transplant and that I must be ready to come at a moment's notice. I remember thinking about all the people I knew who'd been waiting years for transplants so I figured it would be some time. I was wrong.
"Eight days later the phone rang at 3 a.m. and they said, ' We've got a match. Get here as fast as you can!' We grabbed a few things and raced out the door for Cleveland. That was a miracle in itself but little did I know that another miracle was about to take place.
"As lung transplants are so rare and needed I was only supposed to receive one lung despite both my lungs being damaged. Someone else was to receive the other but moments before the surgery they discovered the other recipient had pneumonia and couldn't receive the transplant so they gave both lungs to me; the surgery took five hours."
"So what did they do to you?" I asked.
Running her hand from armpit to armpit she said, "They cut me straight across my body under my breasts and then raised them up and went in under them. I have no idea how they got my old lungs out and the new ones in.
"I spent two weeks on a ventilator but they couldn't get my breathing right and ultimately had to do a tracheotomy. It was terrible; they had me on morphine and I was having hallucinations. I thought the room was filling with water and that I would drown and when I asked the nurse why my family was trying to kill me they realized I was on the wrong dosage of morphine.
" Three weeks after my operation one of my new lungs collapsed so they inserted a chest tube for about a week. After that they regularly stuck a camera down my throat to check for any rejection. I had a slight rejection later but three days of IV antibiotics cleared that up.
"I was there all of October and then released to a guest house in Cleveland the first week of November. Fortunately my husband, Roger, had just retired and was able to be there for me the entire time. Later, after they closed the tracheotomy I finally started breathing on my own and now don't need oxygen at all.
At that time, 47 percent of people who've had transplants rejects them within the first year. I was happy when I passed one year and even happier after five. They say that as long as I follow their guidelines and take my medicine I should live a long time. My lungs are fabulous and working great."
This is when I asked Bobbie what it felt like to be breathing through another person's lungs.
"I try not to think about it," she answered, once again turning her gaze through the window. "I am humbled that the person who had these lungs had to die before I could get them."
Once again it was heavy time.
"People don't think much about the importance of donating your organs until it happens to someone close to them. My daughter, Autumn — who gratefully kept me accountable through this — had never thought about being an organ donor until this happened to me. Then as soon as it came time to renew her driver's license she couldn't wait to check the box to become one.
"I so appreciate being able to take a breath now without having to struggle for it. We take the simple act of breathing for granted and everyone with good health should thank God daily they have it."
Suddenly the eyes welled up and tears spilled down her cheeks.
"I wasn't living my life for God before this happened. I wasn't a bad person but I wasn't committed or dedicated."
As she wiped away the tears she added, "But, He sure did get my attention through this; it was my wake-up call."
I asked, " What would you say to others who smoke?"
"Anyone who smokes in this day and age," she said, "knowing what smoking can do to your body, don't think you can just put it off and say, 'I'll quit later' because it won't happen that way. Make up your mind now and don't put it off like I did.
" The great feeling you get from smoking is not worth what you'll ultimately get when you can't take a breath. It's a mental thing. Each time I tried to quit, all I could think of was having another cigarette. I was weak and let it consume me.
"Before my surgery I remember thinking I was going to die and I wondered where I would go after. I asked God to forgive my foolish ways and when I did He gave me peace. I know I have received a miracle from God."
Bobbie, like me, is full of regrets but grateful to be alive and I am grateful for her willingness to share her story. I also believe that if only one person reads of her calamity and then makes that important decision to stop smoking, this effort will have been worth it all.
But, what do I know?

The voice of self doubt will be in your head every step of your journey. Find confidence in your self by celebrating the little victories and accomplishments along the way and soon your voice of confidence will be louder than your voice of self doubt!
Today, while running, a little voice in my head told me that I couldn't go any further, so instead I picked up the pace and ran faster & harder than ever. Take that, little voice. Have you got what it takes to give your "little voice" the boot?
We all have weak moments, when you're torn between a craving and your ultimate goal.I have learned to shush that little voice by reminding myself that my conscious self is in control of my actions. The little voice can scream for chocolate all it wants, but if I just refuse to get up and get chocolate, then it will eventually give up and learn not to scream like that again! Ignorance is bliss.
well,there is usually a voice within that sometimes give sooo many reasons as to why you shouldn,t exercise but you know what ?i have good news for you ,transform that voice as an alarm for your exercise and watch yourself triumph .

- Nim's Island
- Production year: 2008
- Country: USA
- Cert (UK): U
- Runtime: 95 mins
- Directors: Jennifer Flackett, Mark Levin
- Cast: Abigail Breslin, Gerard Butler , Jodie Foster
Nim's Island, a holiday picture for easily satisfied children, is another pick'n'mix affair, in this case drawing on Swiss Family Robinson, Whale Rider, Dr Dolittle, The Tempest, Romancing the Stone and Play it Again, Sam. An 11-year-old girl, at once precocious and naive (Abigail Breslin, rather less endearing than in Little Miss Sunshine) and her father, a marine biologist, are the only inhabitants of an idyllic Pacific island. When Dad goes missing in a storm, she uses the web to contact her favourite author for help, believing that 'Alex Rover' is a male explorer.
She is, in fact, an agoraphobic female novelist (Jodie Foster) who's never left San Francisco and converses largely with her intrepid fictive hero. This is a smug, lumbering affair featuring the first bad performance Jodie Foster has ever given.

Nick Tippmann, who stepped into a senior organizer's role last year at the inaugural Everywhere Else conference is running the whole show this year and when I spoke to him recently he said that this year's sophomore effort is set to be even better than last year's conference, albeit slightly different.
In a move to focus on quality over quantity, Tippmann said, he and others are deliberately downsizing the event to make it more manageable and operable given its young age and small staff.

STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- The Pac-12 has been fighting with the SEC for years to be considered the nation's toughest conference. That might finally be the case this season -- though to the Pac-12's detriment.
In the aftermath of No. 6 Stanford's 26-20 victory over No. 2 Oregon on Thursday night, the league is left without an undefeated team and once again searching for a way to crack the BCS championship game.
Stanford and Oregon have been among the nation's best programs the past four seasons. But the depth of the conference is finally starting to catch up, turning the league into what the SEC has been for so many years: a two-month fight that nobody survives unscathed.

The Mesa County Republican Women's Christmas Cheer luncheon was the stage for republicans Barbara Brewer and Bob Hislop. Barbara Brewer announced that she is running for re–election as county assessor and newcomer Bob Hislop is running for House Seat 54.
Hislop says that one of his top priorities is streamlining the oil and gas industry. "It takes 6 to 8 months to get a gas drilling permit here in Colorado; the same permit in Louisiana takes 4–5 days and in Texas takes 10–15 days," says Hislop.
Even though this is the first office Hislop is running for he is not new to the campaign circuit. He served under Ronald Regan as a secret service agent.

This may sound reminiscent of a certain famous novel by Jules Verne, or Hollywood movie if you prefer, but it's really in progress reports Tom Levitt for CNN:
… Read the rest
Humans have reached the moon and are planning to return samples from Mars, but when it comes to exploring the land deep beneath our feet, we have only scratched the surface of our planet.
This may be about to change with a $1 billion mission to drill 6 km (3.7 miles) beneath the seafloor to reach the Earth's mantle — a 3000 km-thick layer of slowly deforming rock between the crust and the core which makes up the majority of our planet — and bring back the first ever fresh samples.
It could help answer some of our biggest questions about the origins and evolution of Earth itself, with almost all of the sea floor and continents that make up the Earth´s surface originating from the mantle.

UFC officials have confirmed  that verbal agreements are in place for Vinny Magalhaes and Phil Davis to fight at UFC 159. The two bantered back and forth on Twitter saying they would take the fight, and the UFC has apparently listened.
The event takes places Saturday, April 27 at Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. and will be headlined by a title fight between defending light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen.

2005 Centurion Lightning
A dominating multi-purpose V-drive that catches the eye of everyone around, (including bargain hunters), the Lightning is a tried, tested, and true wakeboarding machine that all riders (from beginners to the most advance and extreme riders), can enjoy day in and day out. But variety is the spice of life and the Lightning not only tosses up a great wakeboarding wake but can double as a great recreational waterski boat without giving up the spacious seating that a V-drive has to offer. And dont forget about all the features that make a Centurion a Centurion. Snap-out carpet, a sleek look, wraparound seating, and a large sundeck that lets you stretch out and relax after playing all day. Huge fun and huge wakes at a not-so-huge price.

The wake is very touchy to weight placement, especially as you get much over 2000lbs. Makes a steep hit for wakeboarding and waist high surf wave. Needs a little more weight on port side to clean up starboard side wash. The boat has been nearly flawless mechanically. Fluids and impellers are all I have done to it. Plenty of room for larger crews. Vinyl and interior are 'B' quality but no complaints for the price.
Reviewer: Alison Campbell

Great boat for a great price. Different look with bow dipping down. Wake is good with balast and a few sacks, but can get peaky and back of boat tends to drag and cause an uneven wake.

International Cesarean Awareness Network of Northern Vermont Chapter Leader Jessilyn Dolan, 33, of Underhill (left) and Co-Leader Francesca Arnoldy, 31, of Hinesburg have teamed up to offer education and support for expectant parents, care providers, and educators to learn about various types of birth and recovery. Photo taken at The Eastern View Integrative Medicine building in South Burlington on Jan. 3. / LYNN MONTY, Free Press
Bringing Jessilyn Dolans first child into the world was picture perfect, she said. As a labor and delivery nurse by profession, she was in the business of encouraging natural births, and she had now experienced the joy.
It wasnt until after two full days of labor with her second child, and having an urgent cesarean delivery, that she found little support for her recovery. I was already teaching childbirth classes, and doing everything I could in my career to encourage natural wonderful births, and ending up in a cesarean was a big change, and awakening for me.
Dolan, 33, of Underhill is now chapter leader of the International Cesarean Awareness Network of Northern Vermont. Co-leader Francesca Arnoldy, 31, of Hinesburg has joined her in offering education and support for expectant parents, care providers, and educators to learn about various types of birth and recovery.
ICAN of Northern Vermont is a non-profit support group that meets every other month at The Eastern View Integrative Medicine building in South Burlington.Each meeting features a different topic, and hosts a speaker, Dolan said.
We are trying to get the word out, Dolan said. Its free. Its about moms and women getting together to support each other.
Dolan said her passion for ICAN stems from the lack of support she received after her unexpected Cesarean. Not a lot of people understand how it can be so drastically life changing, she said. I went from the day after my first birth doing yoga, to having a cesarean with my second, and having a long recovery time.
Arnoldy is a labor doula with Vermont Birth Haven. She teaches childbirth education class, too.
Doula is Greek for "a woman who serves" and is a term used to refer to a trained professional who provides support to expecting mothers before, during and after delivery, Arnoldy said.
After childbirth the mother may be healthy and the child maybe healthy, but there might be some unprocessed feelings about the actual child birth, Arnoldy said. You can have loving, positive feelings for your baby, but have negative, traumatic feelings towards your birth, if that is how it happened. And thats OK.

Nike Rules!
Earlier today, the NFL and Nike unveiled the jerseys that football's all-stars will wear for this season's Pro Bowl (which will be played January 26, 2014, in Honolulu, Hawaii). It's certainly a different look for the league that's usually all about tradition and classic design.
According to the NFL's press release, the NFL Nike Elite 51 Uniform is the "lightest and most breathable NFL Nike uniform to date." It's also a concept uniform that will grab attention for its bright colors and streamlined design. The darker NFC jersey looks a bit like what the Seahawks wear, but both have kind of a college football look, don't they?
Take a closer look at the new jerseys, and let us know what you think of them in the comments section below!

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - A man shot and killed five people at a
residence in northern West Virginia and then fled to Kentucky,
where he fatally shot himself during a police chase, state police
said Tuesday.
Troopers found the victims' bodies Monday at a ramshackle home
in Monongalia County, several miles outside Morgantown. Police
believe all five victims were shot with a high-powered rifle, Capt.
James Merrill said at a news conference.
Merrill would not comment on a motive or say how the suspect,
22-year-old Shayne Riggleman of Morgantown, was connected to any of the victims.
Charles Richardson Jr., whose son was one of the five victims,
said he didn't recognize Riggleman's name or know his connection to
the family. Nor was he aware of his son having trouble with anyone.
After the slayings on Monday, Merrill said, Riggleman drove to
Fairchance, Pa., and met with a female friend whom authorities
would not identify. Upon leaving, he crashed into another vehicle
near Fairchance then ran down the driver as she got out of her car.
Authorities did not identify that victim but said she was
seriously injured.
Riggleman then fled south on Interstate 79. Merrill said
Riggleman "randomly shot and severely wounded" Don Nichols, an
attendant at an Exxon station in Roane County, before heading to
Merrill identified the Monongalia County shooting victims as
49-year-old Charles Richardson III, his wife, 50-year-old Karen
Richardson, her children, 17-year-old Kevin Hudson and 22-year-old
Katrina Hudson, and 30-year-old Robert Raber. Katrina Hudson was
six months' pregnant. Raber lived in the house, but Merrill would
not otherwise elaborate on his relationship to the other victims.
Nichols, meanwhile, was in serious condition but expected to
Merrill called the case "one of the most heinous crimes I've
ever witnessed."
A Lewis County, Ky., deputy tried to pull over Riggleman for
reckless driving but he didn't immediately stop. The deputy pursued
the vehicle until the driver pulled over about a half-mile down the
road. The deputy found Riggleman with a self-inflicted gunshot
wound, Lewis County Sheriff Johnny Bivens said.
Merrill said Riggleman had three guns when he was found - the
high-powered rifle, a second rifle and a .22-caliber handgun.
"It's unfortunate it ended the way it did ... but I do not
believe he would've stopped," Merrill said.
Charles Richardson's father told The Associated Press his son
was an employee of Federal Express and liked to tinker on vehicles
and computers.
"He went about his business and I went about mine," he said,
"but I loved my son."

Commodore Wesley confuses me
View Single Post

Re: Commodore Wesley confuses me
In that example, if the witness were able to communicate with whomever had the conn of the ship, it would be imperative to let that person know what was happening.
Okay, I chose a confusing example. In that one, the skipper would probably have nothing to do with the fact that his ship was being steered towards a big rock - some poor junior officer standing behind the shoulder of an enlisted steering wheel turner chap would be relying on incorrect data, and
is where the alert bystander should direct his communications.
In the Trek case, Wesley would of course know that Kirk would be in actual charge. That's quite different from him merely knowing that Kirk was legally culpable, and would IMHO fully justify him yelling at Kirk when the
opened fire.
As for Wesley being surprisingly happy about a technology that erases his own job, well, the air forces of the world today are full of people like that. They see great merit in taking the pilot out of the aircraft, and realize that this in no way reduces the force's need for gifted and experienced officers.
And that insignia of his? I don't believe it's "Starfleet Command" at all. It's just another one of those Fleet insignia. You know, arrowhead for 1st Fleet, starburst-flower for 3rd Fleet, rectangle for 11th Fleet, fancy lotus leaf for 23rd Logistics Fleet, etc.
But, malfunctioning off switches? Only in Hollywood. M-5 isn't a nuclear reactor: you can turn it off in a thousand different ways, some destructive, some not. And at least fifty of those will work come hell or high vacuum.
As regards taking these ships away from the front lines, I'm not sure if that's a big sacrifice at all. Perhaps Starships are predominantly exploration vessels with little or no use in defense (since the only "defense" job we ever saw Kirk handle was a purposeless vigil at the eternally peaceful Romulan Neutral Zone - and never mind that things unexpectedly went south there).

Don't panic when you get gassed. You will live. It will not kill you. Just keep breathing steadily no matter how funny it feels, and walk (i.e. don't run, trip, panic, stumble, stampede, etc.) to an area with some fresh air. The gas is not lethal, but you need oxygen, so just keep breathing. You will be OK in a few minutes after reaching fresh air. If you are from a dense urban area, it may not affect you badly at all. I had to get gassed in boot camp, and it was a pain in the ass, but definitely not horrible. Some people were more heavily affected, but being from L.A. my whole life, I seemed to be less sensitive to the gas.

@15: Mega Man Volnutt is already in the game, as well as the classic Roll.
From Capcom I'd like to see Dante or Nero, and Samanosuke, and I'm expecting one of the new faces from SFIV, most likely Viper. As for Tatsunoko a Samurai Pizza Cat would be great, as would Speed Racer.

Hey guys,
I'm an indie developer looking for some feedback on my free iPhone app. I'm not trying to make money on this, so please bear with me.
The application is called PaperBox. It is a document management system based on Dropbox that lives in the cloud. Basically, with PaperBox, you can scan multi-page paper documents, categorize and tag them, run OCR on them, and then upload them to Dropbox. You can also set reminders to pay bills, share documents with friends/colleagues, etc. There aren't any ads, watermarks, gimmicks, etc.
The web link is:
The iTunes app link is:
I want to make PaperBox a document management system versus a document scanner. At any time in the future, you can pull the document up again via the iPhone app, from the PaperBox server, or by doing a keyword search on your computer.
Basically, what I'm wondering, is how can I make this an integral part of people's lives? What features am I missing? How is the user experience?
PaperBox is free, so I would love it if you'd check it out and give me some feedback. I'm an avid poster on AppleNova forums (since 2006) and am relatively new to this community (have had an account forever, but don't post much), but I look forward to being a part of it going forward.
