|The influence of the C1-inhibitor BERINERT and the protein-free haemodialysate ACTIHAEMYL20% on the evolution of the depth of scald burns in a porcine model.

|Standardized deep partial-thickness burns were inflicted on domestic pigs by scalding 30 per cent of the skin surface for 25 s with 75 degrees C hot water. The animals (n = 18; weight 25-35 kg) were divided into three groups: I, control group (n = 6), Ringer's lactate only; II, haemodialysate group (n = 6), Ringer's lactate and a protein-free haemodialysate of calf-blood (ACTIHAEMYL20%; AH) and III, C1-inhibitor group (n = 6), Ringer's lactate and C1-inhibitor (C1-INH; BERINERT). Skin biopsies were taken at defined time points (4, 28, 52 and 76 h) and investigated histologically. Depth of burn was determined morphometrically after coloration with a modified MTT-staining on frozen sections of the skin biopsies. Fluid therapy with C1-INH decelerated significantly the progression of the burn wound in the postburn-period compared to Ringer's lactate alone. In comparison with C1-INH, the treatment with AH demonstrated a less beneficial influence on the depth of scald burns. The favourable effects of C1-INH are explained by the protection of the dermal microcirculation during the acute phase of thermal injury.

story has to be a fake - a store employee (even maybe owner) with a gun in California - can't be you know they depend on the police to protect themselves because the public is not capable of handling a gun safely

Very happy to see SBCG4AP up at first. As for the person who mentioned brand recognition as the reason why, Homestarrunner.com may be popular but is in no way a household name like Pokemon or Final Fantasy.

To the mom whose house was burnt down
I was about to comment on your post, but it was deleted. I just wanted to say how sorry I am this happened to you and your daughter and that I'm praying for both of you.
I don't think anyone thinks that was real.
Quoting PoisonEyeV:
I don't think anyone thinks that was real.
I hope it wasn't real, but can't imagine making something like that up.
Quoting Anonymous: Then you should send them more corn.
Quoting Anonymous:
Was that the " I shared a can or corn with my daughter story" I missed it then.
Yes, her house was burnt down, her husband was missing and the police suspect her husband, it's very sad.

Magna Carta coming to Houston
Historic document rarely leaves England
HOUSTON — Nearly 800 years after the king of England tried to avert a civil war by issuing the Magna Carta, a rarely seen version of the document is coming to the United States.
The Houston Museum of Natural Science trip is believed to be the first time the delicate parchment has left England since its issuing in 1217, two years after the first version. Also on exhibit will be a related legal notice, or writ, issued by the king.
"These are truly rare and ancient documents. They are national treasures that have been guarded for centuries and don't typically leave England's shores," said Catherine F. Patterson, a British historian at the University of Houston.
The Magna Carta, one of only a few surviving copies, has been publicly displayed only about a dozen times and the writ barely half that number of times, said Glyn Morgan, chief executive of the Hereford Cathedral Perpetual Trust, which holds the medieval documents in its archives.
Originally issued by King John in Runnymeade on June 15, 1215, the Magna Carta granted his barons certain freedoms, including three that live on today: an acknowledgement that taxes cannot be arbitrary, that free men cannot be imprisoned without first being judged by their peers or the law and that justice cannot be denied or delayed.

|Folic acid uptake by the human syncytiotrophoblast is affected by gestational diabetes, hyperleptinemia, and TNF-α
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 23338599 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background:The mechanisms whereby gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increases the risk of fetal overgrowth and development of metabolic diseases later in life are likely to involve changes in nutrient supply to the fetus. So, in this work we hypothesize that GDM may affect folic acid (FA) supply to the placenta and the fetus.Methods:We compared (3)H-FA uptake by human cytotrophoblasts isolated from normal pregnancies (NTB cells) and GDM pregnancies (DTB cells), and investigated the effect of GDM hallmarks upon (3)H-FA uptake by BeWo cells.Results:(3)H-FA uptake by NTB and DTB cells was time-dependent and acidic pH-stimulated. When compared to NTB, (3)H-FA uptake by DTB cells was more sensitive to acidic pH changes and to 5-methyltetrahydrofolate and pemetrexed inhibition, indicating a proportionally greater involvement of the proton-coupled folate transporter. A 4 h-exposure of BeWo cells to lipopolysaccharide (1-10 μg/ml) or to high levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (300 ng/l) significantly reduced (3)H-FA uptake. Moreover, hyperleptinemic conditions (100 ng/ml leptin) decreased (3)H-FA uptake by BeWo cells in a time-dependent manner, when compared to normoleptinemic conditions (1 ng/ml leptin).Conclusion:GDM modulates (3)H-FA uptake by the syncytiotrophoblast, and leptin as well as TNF-α downregulate (3)H-FA placental uptake.Pediatric Research (2013); doi:10.1038/pr.2013.14.

JVC debuts giant 110-inch projector TV
updated 09:55 am EDT, Fri June 8, 2007
JVC 110-inch DLP TV
JVC finished its week this morning by introducing the largest rear-projection set ever. The HD110-MH80 is also likely the largest consumer TV to date and promises a 110-inch diagonal viewing area, eclipsing both Panasonic's 103-inch plasma screen as well as Sharp's 108-inch LCD. The size is manageable in part due to the set's processing hardware, JVC says. Its internally developed D-ILA technology scales the native 1080p resolution to enhance its detail even at the large size and also boosts contrast to a practical 5,000:1. The TV maker's current Genessa processor also helps remove jagged edges or noise and fine-tunes color output with 14-bit precision. A bright 110W lamp keeps the image visible in brighter environments.
Input for the set is provided through dual HDMI output for full HD signals; component, VGA, and Japan's D4 format provide analog HD, while S-video and four separate RCA inputs cover standard-definition video. JVC further sets out the TV as a stand-alone device with two integrated 10W speakers, analog and digital TV tuners, and dual i.Link (FireWire) ports for watching home movies directly from a video camera.
Pre-orders for the HD110-MH80 begin in July, but actual shipments of the display will take place in October. Pricing for the main set is likely to reach an equivalent of $52,787 but will also require special accommodations in the house itself, the company says: at 728 pounds, the set must have a strong supporting floor and may need extra reinforcement depending on the house.

Watsonville, CA – June 15, 2014…Stockton, CA's Brad Furr withstood an intense late-race challenge from Easton's Tommy Tarlton to scoop up his first win of the 2014 season with the Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo on Friday night at the Ocean Speedway.
Furr officially led the entire distance, but had lost the lead going down the back stretch on what looked to be the final lap to Tarlton. Just as fans came to their feet however, a spun car in the middle of turn four caused the yellow lights to flash on, creating a green-white-checkered restart.
The former World of Outlaws regular then proceeded to hit his marks over the final couple laps and take the checkered by 0.651 seconds for victory aboard the Price Rite Restaurant Equipment/ Brad Furr Racing No. 2 machine. "It feels great to finally get into victory lane this season," said Furr. "That was some great racing with Tommy right there and I'm glad the luck was on our side tonight. I really have to thank my whole team for all the support they give me each week."
Furr also began the night by setting the Ray Scheidts Electric Fast Time Award and then jumped into the lead of the feature after drawing the number one envelope. Laton's Heath Duinkerken would put together a career night with the Ocean Sprints and followed Furr in second over the early stages of the race. The defending champ though set a blistering pace and got through traffic with precision. Fremont's Shane Golobic then made his presence known and charged into second on lap 10.
With great individual battles taking place throughout the field, Golobic proceeded to cut down a big advantage that Furr had held and looked to make it a battle for the lead.
Just as that got set to take place however; the yellow flag flew on lap 18 for a spun car in turn four. When going back green Furr jumped out into the top-spot and Golobic followed right along in second. With 21-laps down Golobic then attempted to slide underneath Furr for the lead, but couldn't pull it off and lost just enough momentum, which allowed Tarlton the chance to pull off a power slider through turns one and two for second. Lap 23 then saw Golobic spin off the cushion while running third to bring out a yellow.
The always hard charging Tarlton then came after Furr following the restart and with the white flag in the air the two-time Ocean Sprints champ was all over his rear bumper. As the pair raced off turn two Tarlton got the run he needed and zoomed into the lead, making what appeared to be the winning pass. As soon as that was taking place, Anthony Simone was sitting backwards in the middle of turn four, leaving officials no choice but to throw the yellow flag. On the restart Tarlton stayed close, but Furr drove a flawless two-laps and crossed the stripe for season win number one.
Despite being disappointed on the outcome Tarlton stayed positive on the front stretch after finishing runner up in the Elite Landscape Construction/ Tarlton & Son Inc. No. 21 Sprinter. "We obviously wanted to win that one, but we just caught a bad break. You never know what's going to happen in that situation. I have to thank my dad and my whole team for giving me a great race car to drive. We've been having some personal issues with my wife as everyone knows, but she's getting better and that's the biggest thing. We love coming out here to Ocean Speedway and look forward to next Friday."
Duinkerken brought home a career best Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo finish of third after battling tooth & nail with Bud Kaeding over the closing laps. "This is pretty cool to get up here on the podium tonight and I feel like we're getting better all the time," said the driver of the Duinkerken Farms/ BHK Nut No. 79 mount. "This is the first season we've really committed to running a Sprint Car this often, so to race with veterans like Bud Kaeding is a huge confidence builder. It's all about lap time and that's what we're getting out here with the Ocean Sprints. My guys gave me a great car and I can't thank them enough."
Bud Kaeding ended up fourth at the finish at the helm of the Williams Motorsports Zero, with Lemoore's Carson Macedo earning the High Five Pizza Hard Charger Award coming from 13th to fifth in the WFO Apparel No. 21x Sprinter. Golobic made a nice recovery to finish sixth, with Watsonville's Justin Sanders in seventh, Tulare's Dillon Black in eighth, Hanford's Collin Markle ninth and Gilroy's Kurt Nelson completing the top-10. Nick Ringo Jr. will go home with the Beer Optics hard luck award for the night.
The three ten-lap heat races were picked off by Shane Golobic, Heath Duinkerken and Collin Markle. As noted Brad Furr started off the night by setting the Ray Scheidts Electric Fast Time Award. Full results can be seen at www.oceanspeedway.com and simply clicking on the results tab.
A-main finish: 1. 2 Brad Furr, 2. 21 Tommy Tarlton, 3. 79 Heath Duinkerken, 4. 0 Bud Kaeding, 5. 21x Carson Macedo, 6. 22 Shane Golobic, 7. 17 Justin Sanders, 8. 21b Dillon Black, 9. 5 Collin Markle, 10. 72w Kurt Nelson, 11. 10 Anthony Simone, 12. 88 Koen Shaw, 13. 8 Jeremy Chisum, 14. 4 Burt Foland Jr, 15. 3t Nicholas Ringo, 16. 25z Jason Chisum, 17. 58 Jerry Bonnema, 18. 99 Wayne Katen, 19. 37 Mitchell Faccinto, 20. 9j Dustin Golobic, 21. 7 Nick Ringo Jr, 22. 39n Nathan Washam
The Ocean Sprints presented by Taco Bravo will return to action on Friday July 11 to kick-off the Howard Kaeding Classic weekend at Ocean Speedway. The night will also be the first of two Ocean Sprints vs Civil War Sprint Car Series presented by Flowmaster events this season at the track. A large car count is expected for what will open a can't miss weekend of racing at the Ocean Speedway.

What's the weather like?
What's the weather like?
Santa Barbara is known for its Mediterranean-like weather. Our average temperature year-round is 70 degrees. In the summer months, days typically are in the mid- to high 70s and nights may drop into the 50s. We do have periods of fog, so we recommend that you bring sweaters or a light jacket and dress in layers. If we have fog (actually, it's a marine layer) it usually lifts by mid-morning.

Can someone help me understand this question? I may have it on my tomorrow exam but I can't find similar question on internet or in my lectures.
First you need to express each function as a
First, you have to calculate the Theta notations by determing the growths-class of each function, e.G. 1, log(n), n, n log(n) and so on. To do that you have of course to expand those functions. Having the growths-class of each function you have to order them by their goodness. Last, you have to put these functions into relations, like g1 = omega(g2). Therefore just keep in mind that a function t(n) is said to be in omega(g(n)) if t(n) is bounded below by some multiple of g(n), e.G. n³ >= n² and therefore n³ is elemnt of omega(n²). This can also be written as n³ = omega(n²)
For theta, this answer and that one summarize what is to be found in your problem. Which g function can you find such that (say f is one of your 8 functions above)
For instance, for the
You need to understand that all big O and Big Omega and Big theta apply for worse/best/average case
for some function: Big O -> O(..) is the upper limit this function will never exceed .. e.g. for higher values Big Omega -> is the lower pound the function never goes below it .e.g in small values Big theta is like: there are 2 constants such that: Big omega * c < Big Theta < Big O *c2
so going to your sample: i) its of order n^4 for both Big Omega, and O(n^ + n). viii) its constant so both Obig O and big Omega the same.. thus big Theta the same

There are some folks around Greece these days who say the country needs a strong state-owned bank to finance the country's growth.
The chairman of state-controlled ATEBank—now the subject of a takeover bid by a private rival–is one of them. He thinks better than falling into private hands, the government should beef up ATEBank and create a publicly-owned mega lender that would hold sway over Greece's finance sector. Greece's Socialist government, elected last October, thinks that may not be such a bad idea. In fact, it promised to do just that during its pre-election campaign.
If there's one thing the Greek crisis has shown, it is that politicians are not much good at running state budgets, so does anyone expect they can run a banking champion more effectively? Does the country need more of the poisonous medicine that got it into this fix?
The long-awaited consolidation of the Greek banking sector has begun and promises to make the Mediterranean summer even hotter. Piraeus Bank, the fourth-largest local bank, fired the opening shot and now the socialist government and its other big three privately owned rivals must respond.
Piraeus caught the government and the local sector slightly off guard on July 15 with its all cash €701 million combined bid to acquire Greece's equity stakes of 77.3% in ATEBank and 33% in Hellenic Postbank.
The government has long prodded local banks to consolidate, but it may not be getting all it wished for.
Essentially Piraeus is saying to the state: If you give me the well-capitalized, liquidity-rich Hellenic Postbank with its low loan-to-deposit ratio, then I will take the more problematic ATEBank off your hands as well.
The bid values ATEBank at 53 euro cents a share, which is a 53% discount to its current traded price. However, when the bid was first announced last week, Piraeus was offering a 30% premium on Postbank, which it values at €3.50 per share. Since then, however, that premium has shrunk to just 3.5% after Hellenic Postbank shares jumped on Thursday and Friday.
Government reflexes to the bid haven't been quick and selling now may not be the smartest move …

... Thats why I posted in the Boots section so I can get some suggestions on what boots to pick up when everything goes on "end of season" sale. I have a feeling my skills will jump considerably after I have gear that not almost a decade old!!!! The boots are the last thing to go thankfully!!
I think the fact that they are so old are attributing to the fact that I can't quite get them centered correctly.

As far as your cap strap question... I own Union Atlases with similar straps and it really depends on your boot. With my Burton boot into had better luck centering it over my toe, so really it was more to the side . With my Salomon boot, I centered it over the boot itself. However, I still found it slipping off more than occasionally, which prompted me to get the Burton Gettagrips.
I heard the new SL line had stickier cap straps, so I hope that solved that problem.
Yeah this is my first experience with the "toe" strap style so was just making sure I wasn't missing anything.

Maria Minerva
"A Love So Strong"
If Jake Fogelnest were murdered over the radio waves, listeners would get confused. Now, if it were over the internet, people would contextually connect via video and enjoy its discovery through word of mouth/social networking. Not saying that — um, I'm not saying anything, ever. Jest, there's (always) a nice disconnect between radio and, like, internet. Sometimes. Whatever. Yo, the Sacred and Profane Love EP is Maria Minerva's fourth release of 2011. OMG, and she done did a FACTmag mix! So, I get it. Maybe. Bet radio can't keep up with all them releases #b'pumpit. "A Love So Strong" keeps me faithful. <3 100% Silk; well-dressed jammers. Pick up Sacred and Profane Love EP right quick!

Thee Oh Sees
"Carrion Crawler"
Look, other than Carrion Crawler/The Dream being vastly superior over Castlemania, all I'm saying is Thee Oh Sees is the American version of Boris. Using "Carrion Crawler" in comparison with "Tokyo Wonderland" to support my accusation. Standard pop-stuff; lyrical melody; sing alongs and brain fogs; that good ol' steady beat; gutting guitar solos. Boris being all about the noise. Thee Oh Sees being all about the lazy. Hah — America. So, yes. From noise to instrumental to garage to rock, Thee Oh Sees seem to have taken the same business model as Boris. Check out Carrion Crawler/The Dream on In The Red Record, and skip Castlemania #RE:reiterate. I love melts *wink*.

This self-titled cassette debut of Vincent Brunetto's beats/remixes project was recorded during the producer's move from Buffalo to New York, and seems to have absorbed the tension of frigid Northeastern winters and the uncertainty of transition. Although the tropical gemstone artwork — goofy font and all — might suggest otherwise, Brunetto says the project was created out of isolation, as perhaps most solo/software music is, even when the attitude is nothing but "I Just Wanna Party." "Krokodil" hints at more than that with subtly dark chord progressions. This thing is out now on L.A.-based MJMJ (twomichaeljordans) Records.
Ensemble Economique
"To Feel The Night As It Really Is"
Let us all rejoice at the release of a new record by Starving Weirdos member Brian Pyle as Ensemble Economique, who enthralled us all 'round this time last year with the stunning bag of tricks that was Psychical on Not Not Fun. His new record, Crossing The Pass, By Torchlight, is a step away from the more overt 80s VHS soundtrack explorations of some previous work, but somehow by stitching guitar and keyboard lines to a jumble of synth drum kits, EE manages to scare up a host of evocative moments and cinematic flavors. This would work as the theme to the next James Bond movie. 007 in To Feel The Night As It Really Is! It would be the coldest, most existential, and mysterious Bond movie since, uh, Goldeneye?

Daniel Bachman
It has always been hard to describe the music of Daniel Bachman (formerly known as Sacred Harp) without mentioning a few old Takoma Records folks like John Fahey or Robbie Basho. This time, it is impossible. According to Debacle Records, the title Grey-Black-Green is a reference to Basho's "Esoteric Doctrine Of Color & Mood." Sounds pretty rad, right? Right. Basho apparently created a sort of color wheel that coincided with the circle of fifths, and subsequently certain moods and emotions are associated with each key. As Bachman himself puts it, "Grey-Black Green is the most fucked up sounding one." Basho's model states that D minor (or frog minor?) is equivalent to grey-black green, that the associated mood is "anguish death, and full sweetness," and that it is the "most solid model, with tight boundaries."
When listening to the music that Daniel Bachman makes or that Robbie Basho made (or any of the original American guitar raga guys, for that matter), it is easy to hear it as aimlessly wandering improvisation that is effortlessly streaming out of the musician, when in fact there are some very strict rules being followed. Bachman restrains himself to D minor through the entire album, traveling through grey and black and finally ending in green. As Basho already explained, the journey is dark and full of anguish, yet emits a genuine sweetness throughout.
Listen to "Grey, Take 3" below, a particularly lovely part of Grey-Black-Green, which you can stream entirely on Debacle's Bandcamp.

Glad tracks like "Canatuna" remain a click or reel away, and far from "popularly." It just seems bloodier that way @raw/rare[period] And speaking of popular, Tigerbitch's first release is on our man Pete Berends' mysterious new label Brunch Groupe. IMO, Tigerbitch is a lick away from the juice. Peter's thoughts, "It's the first release from my friend Grant who sorta set the bar for [peeps recording] music on their own." Also, heard Grant made Self Titled in a condemned church basement pirate studio. The drumming is all peg-leg because he fell while restoring the church roof. Tigerbitch and two other cassettes are being birthed Friday. Whoa, and a slew of new Brunch Groupe cassettes early 2012 too? —R.I.P. C Monster

The Zone of Silence (Zona de Silencio)
// December 25th, 2012 // Odd Happenings
In a Chihuahuas desert patch near the Bolson de Mapimi in Mexico, there exists an eerie area of land called Mapimí Silent Zone (La Zona Del Silencio) or the Zone of Silence. In this area is the home of several rare, mutant species of animals including the purple cactus and a malformed version of the desert tortoise. The area gets its name, the Zone of Silence, from an odd anomaly that prohibits radio waves from transmitting inside the zone. Just 400 miles south of El Paso, Texas, the Zone of Silence gobbles up radio and TV signals and has a documented history of UFO activity. Since the mid-nineteenth century, farmers who worked the parched land told of "hot pebbles" that fell to the earth from the sky. Many reports of extraterrestrial visitors were recorded from the early 1900's. Scientists at the Mexican research center have dubbed the region, the Mar de Tetys, or The Sea of Thetys, because at one time, millions of years ago, the area lay at the bottom of an ocean (as evidenced by the fossilized marine life found in the area).
Radio signal blackouts and aircraft crashes
The first documented occurrence of the radio wave blackout occurred in the 1930's when Francisco Sarabia, an aviator from the northern Mexican state of Coahuila, reported that his radio had mysteriously stopped working. It wasn't until the 1970's though, that the Zona Del Silencio entered the public eye. An American Athena missile fired from the White Sands Missile Base mysteriously veered off course and crashed into the Zone of Silence. When the Air Force came to collect the Athena missile's wreckage, they noted that the area prohibited radio transmissions. They took along several truckloads of desert sand for analysis (some theorize that the sand's bizarre properties somehow contributed to the stealth fighter military program).
A few years later, an upper stage from one of the Saturn boosters used on the Apollo project broke up and crashed in the very same area. Again, the United States military sent a special team to the area to investigate its mysterious properties. The U.S. military team discovered that no radio signals could travel through the air. Television, radio, short wave, microwave, nor satellite signals are able to penetrate the area. Inhabitants of the community of Ceballos, Durango, some 25 miles away (the settlement nearest to the zone) were quick to point out television signals could never be received in the town or neighboring ranches.
A meteor magnet
Scientists are still trying to understand the unique properties of the area. High levels of magnetite have been discovered in the Zone of Silence and scientist have also noted that the area is a hot bed for meteorite activity, raising speculation that there may be some unusual magnetic properties associated with the minerals in the chalky soil. The area seems to attract metallic particles of extraterrestrial origin. There are nearly constant falls of small meteors known locally as guijolas.
On February 8, 1969, at 1:05 AM in the morning, a huge meteorite hurtled into the area known as Pueblito de Allende. Locals compared the sight of the meteor to "staring into a flashbulb". The original stone was the size of an automobile and moved at a speed of more than 10 miles per second. The impact produced a massive shock wave that could be heard for many miles. To date, the Allende Meteorite is the largest meteorite ever found on earth.
UFO reports in the area
Travelers crossing the zone regularly report seeing strange lights, floating orbs, and burning bushes. Many reports exist of fireballs maneuvering at night, changing colors, hanging motionless and then shooting off into the night sky at great speed. In one instance, two ranchers heading back from a festivity witnessed a fluorescent light floating down from the dark sky that "spit out" humanoid occupants, who glowed with the same eerie light as they walked slowly towards the ranchers.
The Ernesto and Josefina Diaz Incident
On October 13, 1975, Ernesto and Josefina Diaz drove into the Zone of Silence in a brand new Ford pickup to collect unusual rocks and fossils which can be found in great abundance in the area. As they busied themselves in their activity, they noticed that a desert rainstorm was heading toward them. Hoping to avoid being caught in a flash flood, they wisely packed up their vehicle and sped off, but not fast enough to avoid the relentless rain. The road ahead of them turned into a swamp and their truck was quickly trapped as it sank in the soft terrain.
While the couple struggled to keep their vehicle from submerging further into the mud, two figures approached them, waving at them amid the torrential rain storm. Two extremely tall men in yellow raincoats and caps, with unusual but by no means alarming features, offered their assistance to help them get underway again. The men instructed the drenched couple to get inside the pickup again while they pushed. Before the couple realized, their vehicle had popped out of the hole and on to firmer ground. When the husband got out of the pickup once more to thank the two men, he saw they were gone.
The Luis Ramirez Reyes Incident
During the month of November of 1978, journalist Luis Ramirez Reyes visited the Zone of Silence as part of a news team assigned to cover a story on the bizarre properties of the site. Choosing to go ahead of the main team, Ramirez and his photographer charged into the desert, navigating by intuition rather than by hard knowledge of where their final destination was located.
Suddenly, he noticed that there were three figures walking up ahead, coming toward them. Hoping that these locals might be able to point them in the right direction, the journalist told his companion, who was doing the driving, to slow down to talk to them. As they drove along, he experienced the shock of running into them again – walking in a different part of the desert!
Upon arriving at their destination, and meeting up with their team, they discussed their unusual encounter in the desert with Harry de la Pena. In a sobering tone, Pena told them that there were no people in the desert who weren't part of the biosphere team
Curiously enough, the zone lies just north of the Tropic of Cancer and south of the 30th parallel, which places it in the company of a number of other planetary anomalies including the Bermuda Triangle.
Visiting the Zone of Silence
To get to the Zone of Silence, go North from Torreon, Coah, towards Chihuahua on Hwy #45 for 83 miles. You'll pass the road to Mapimi. You can also approach the Zona del Silencio from Chihuahua. It's 190 miles south of the city on Hwy #45. Once you've turned off from the main road, you'll be on dirt tracks. From time to time, you'll see little wooden signs with arrows saying "Zona". You can tell if you are going the right way by using a flat-topped mountain ahead of you as a landmark. Keep that bluff on your left going in and on your right coming back.

There was a white SUV sitting across the two lanes. I stopped as did every other car. It looked as if the driver was trying to cross or reverse back into a gas station. I didn't know what was wrong because the driver was doing neither.
So I went around as did all of the other cars. As I passed, I saw that the driver was a woman and she was hysterically crying. My heart sunk. My first instinct was to pull over and help her, not knowing what was wrong. But, the flow of traffic did not allow for this. Had I stopped, I would have most surely been hit.
I drove away really torn up about seeing this women crying but more so, I was racked with guilt for not doing anything.
I started to pray for her and continue to do so as I write this.
Blessings to the woman in the white SUV.

April 20, 2009 – It was a fabulous day of sunshine on Saturday and the tables lining the streets for the annual Mile Long Yard Sale in Watertown contained old stuff, new stuff and virtually something for everyone.
At one of the first booths along the way, a lady was seen eyeing a couple of cast iron flying cows. She asked for the price and was told a dollar each, that everything on that table was a dollar.
The interested lady, rather shocked at the low price, remarked the cast items were old, to which the dealer replied, "Oh, are they? I just want to get rid of them and all the rest of this stuff because I'm tired of dusting it all." The buyer grabbed them up before the dealer could change her mind.
In the next yard space, one could look around and spy pink petunia baskets, polish sausage, a large pink umbrella, pink piggy banks, an ice cream maker and spice shakers that looked like books and books that referred to spices.
A bit further ahead, "almost 7 year old" Caleb Whited, a first grader at Southside Elementary School, was working like crazy to keep up with orders for his lemonade while his "Nana," Gail Purtee handled birdhouse sales.
Trish Williams of Joelton, Tenn., and Jerry Woodard of Hartsville, Tenn., return every year with their flatbed trailers full of goodies that range anywhere from lawn ornaments to swords. Sonya Lambertson of Watertown didn't set up in her own yard, but she was in the middle of all the action with her household merchandise.
Dee Hutchinson of Norene, Tenn., a stained glass professional and teacher by trade, was in attendance as a dealer for her 11th time at Watertown. This year she was offering a few different items than usual, particularly an antique radio from Hungary.
"My grandparents came over on the boat from Hungary around 1912-1915," she said. "They later gave the radio to my father and he gave it to me. I just thought there might be a collector out there who would really appreciate it. Besides, when I turn it on, I keep expecting to hear Hungarian music come out of it."
Louann and Dan Dyer of Madison, Tenn., were set up for their first time. They had been hearing about the Mile Long Sale from her friend at work, Dena Caruth, so they decided to check it out this year.
Louann said the whole thing was so overwhelming, it "made her dizzy," and Dan, a collector of hat pins, managed to sell some of his, but found a rare collection of them that he bought from another dealer "at a very reasonable price."
Susan Scott was running a booth furnished by donated items to support the Watertown Farm Animal Sanctuary that provides needed funds for horses, ponies, donkeys and all hooved animals except for goats.
Beverly and Ernest Patterson, who went into the concession business a few years ago, now do the Watertown event and the car show in Murfreesboro by selling their nachos and chocolate dipped frozen bananas and drinks. They said they do it mostly for fun, but with the economy like it is, every little bit helps.
The town of Franklin, Tenn., produced quite a few first-time shoppers at the Watertown event. Debby and Jennifer Vickers had arrived at 7 a.m. and were still looking for a Baby Pack & Play.
Then, four ladies who are friends and go to church together in Franklin got off the train from Nashville. Glen Livingston, Anne Segarra, Martha Putman and Anita Gossett go to estate sales and sometimes hit yard sales, but they said the train ride from Nashville and back sounded like great fun, so they were in Watertown for a few hours of fun and shopping.
Watertown's Jim Amero, coordinator of the Mile Long Yardsale, said he was very happy with the 100-plus dealers that were on hand and still calling for spaces right up to the last minute. He said he had expanded areas and people were here from all over the state of Tennessee, Virginia, Alabama and Kentucky. A new entrant this spring was Allison Greer's Camel Rides from Lebanon.
"She was a little late in getting here this morning," said Amero, "because one of her camels had a baby last night. Also, it gave me a chance to take my first camel ride. My dad was stationed in Egypt when he was in the service and always talked about riding camels, but I had never tried one until this morning. It was interesting."
"Everyone in Watertown works together and helps one another. We have what America is looking for in a place to live and visit. I've had many really good comments on the event today and considering we were competing with an all-day ball tournament in Watertown and the Dumpling Day and Storytelling events in Lebanon, we feel really blessed for the thousands of people we've had through here today."
The Mile Long Sale was re-christened the 12-Mile Long Sale a few years ago because of all the yard sales that set up along Sparta Pike between Lebanon and Watertown. Those number of sales doubled, or possibly even tripled, this spring, probably because of the status of the national economy.
Richie Mourhess, a mortgage banker before that business started into a slump, and Larry Jackson, U.S. Army retired, who does events like these full time now, were two that were set up along the side of the road
"There's been a lot of people stopping, but not all are buying," said Mourhess. "Normally, this has been a good event to work and it may be yet as the day is young."
Both admitted there was a learning curve you had to go through in the flea market type of business, but once you got past it, it was "a whole lot of fun."
That seemed to be the case on Saturday.

Watertown Mile Long was a day full of shopping fun
April 20, 2009 – It was a fabulous day of sunshine on Saturday and the tables lining the streets for the annual Mile Long Yard Sale in Watertown contained old stuff, new stuff and virtually something for everyone.

Treat the Cancer, But Take Care to Protect the Heart, Cancer Cardiologists Warn
Treat the Cancer, But Take Care to Protect the Heart, Cancer Cardiologists Warn
M. D. Anderson News Release 06/28/04
Cancer treatments, including the most commonly used chemotherapy agents as well as the newest biologic and targeted therapy drugs, can harm a patient's heart, sometimes fatally – but many physicians do not adequately monitor their patients for such damage or manage their care to minimize it.
So say cardiologists at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center, who published, in the June 29 issue of the journal Circulation, the first large scale review detailing cardiovascular complications that often occur in cancer therapy, as well as ways to prevent or treat them.
The study draws on 30 years of experience at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center as well as on the current body of research on the cardiotoxicity of various agents.
The findings are important because both patients and doctors may not be aware of the spectrum of heart problems that can arise from cancer treatment, or know that many of these problems can be managed, says the study's lead author, Edward T. H. Yeh, M.D., professor and chairman of the Department of Cardiology.
"Many cancer survivors will actually be at greater risk from cardiac disease as from recurrent cancer," says Yeh. "Now that cancer is often being treated as a chronic, manageable disease, it is critical that this treatment doesn't substantially weaken a patient's heart."
In fact, Yeh and a team of nine other cardiologists from M. D. Anderson found in their review of 29 anticancer agents that there is no class of cancer drug that is free of potential damage to the heart, the organ that seems to be most sensitive to toxic effects of anticancer agents.
Generally speaking, patients at most risk for cardiotoxicity are those who are aged and have other illnesses, such as diabetes or existing heart disease, he says. But cardiotoxicity can occur in any patient, either during treatment or months, even years after treatment.
Even the newest targeted therapies, designed to attack only cancer cells, can cause cardiotoxicity, Yeh says. For example, monoclonal antibody drugs such as Avastin, Erbitux, and Rituxin produce a significant amount of hypertension as well as hypotension in patients. "They seem to have more general toxicity than many other agents, but the problems they produce usually involve changes in blood pressure, which can be easily treated if recognized," Yeh says.
Some agents, however, are clearly more dangerous, especially in large doses. For example, patients using the common class of chemotherapy drugs known as anhracyclines/anthraquinolones that includes adriamycin should be closely monitored because these agents frequently produce irreversible chronic heart failure or left ventricular dysfunction, says Yeh. "This is probably the most problematic class of anticancer drugs, but with experience, cardiotoxicity can be limited," he says.
Alkylating agents, another class of common chemotherapy drugs, have other toxic effects. Platinol and Cytoxan, the most widely used alkylating agents, can produce heart problems that range from chronic heart failure to hypertension, if the total dose is high. Chemotherapy drugs known as "antimetabolites," which include the widely used agent 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), can produce ischemia, which can lead to heart attacks if not treated. However, heart problems are relatively rare in the "antimicrotubules" class of chemotherapy drugs, of which Taxol is a member.
Other non-chemotherapy drugs noted for their high risk of cardiotoxicity includes Inerleukin-2, which frequently results in hypotension or arrhythmias; Gleevec which can cause heart failure; Trisenox, from which fatal "QT prolongation" can result; and Thalidomide, which can produce a variety of serious heart ailments.
On the other hand, the researchers found that Herceptin is less toxic than generally believed, although it can cause chronic heart failure and left ventricular dysfunction.
"We found a profile of cardiotoxicity for the most often used anticancer drugs, but it is important to know that every patient has different risk factors that will determine how their hearts handle the treatment," says Yeh. "Monitoring and management is key to surviving cancer with a good and lasting heart."
The study was funded by the Department of Cardiology at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. Co-authors include Michael Ewer, M.D., Ann Tong, M.D., Daniel Lenihan, M.D., S. Wamique Yusuf, M.D., Joseph Swafford, M.D., Christopher Champion, M.D., Jean-Bernard Durand, M.D., Harry Gibbs, M.D., and Alireza Zafarmand, M.D.

Bloomington, Minn. -- Microsoft Windows 8 and the new "Surface" tablet brought hundreds to the Mall of America Microsoft store Friday.
Microsoft's "Surface" tablet is all touch and was rolled out alongside Windows 8, which is designed to be all touch too.
"The best way I can describe Windows 8 is it makes applications come to life with it's touch interface capabilities, but you can also get a lot of stuff done with it it's the best windows 7 has to offer too," said Microsoft store's Leif Knutson.
You can only purchase the tablet online or at Microsoft stores, but Windows 8 you can find at nearly any computer store, including Best Buy.
Windows 8 offers a completely new design, but if it's all too much there is an option to use it just the way you always have.

|Clinical results of the staged Fontan procedure in high-risk patients.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 9647088 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|BACKGROUND: For high-risk Fontan candidates, the introduction of a bidirectional Glenn shunt before total cavopulmonary connection (a two-staged strategy) may extend the indications for the Fontan procedure. The clinical results of the two-staged and one-staged Fontan procedure were thus reviewed and compared. METHODS: Between November 1991 and July 1996, the two-staged strategy was performed in 40 high-risk Fontan candidates with a mean interval of 17.2 months after introducing the bidirectional Glenn shunt (staged group). We considered a young age (<2 years), high mean pulmonary arterial pressure (> or =20 mm Hg), high pulmonary vascular resistance (> or =3 Wood units), small pulmonary artery (Nakata index <200 mm2/m2), atrioventricular valve incompetence (> or = moderate), distortion of pulmonary artery, anomalous pulmonary venous return, and poor ventricular function as risk factors for the successful completion of Fontan circulation. During the same period, 68 patients underwent the modified Fontan procedure in a one-step fashion (primary group). RESULTS: In the staged group after the bidirectional Glenn shunt, the mean pulmonary arterial pressure and ventricular end-diastolic pressure were both found to have decreased significantly to the same level as those in the primary group, whereas the pulmonary artery demonstrated a significantly smaller size than that in the primary group. Operative morbidity was similar in both groups. Operative mortality was also similar and low in both groups (1.5% in the primary group and 0% in the staged group). CONCLUSIONS: A bidirectional Glenn shunt was found to be a useful interim palliation in high-risk Fontan candidates. This two-staged strategy may extend the operative indications for the Fontan procedure.
