Big city vs. country living
If you look close there are about 6 deer in the pic
We also live on the last house of a dead end so no traffic sounds at all. But i hate the coyotes in our pasture they are so loud and creepy sounding.
I've lived in both "big" cities and in the country/woods. I love the country for the privacy and how everyone knows everyone else, but also hate it lol. It's a double-edged sword. Everyone knows everyone and is in everyone else's business lol. ykwim. I love the nature, being able to watch squirells play in the trees, see a tree frog, or catch lizards, see wild turkeys on the side of the road, and have deer come triapsing through the yard.... and all that naturey stuff.
For the big city, I like the convience of how everything is just a 5-10 minute drive away... Yeah that's about it on that one lol.
A (27) + J (28) = C (2) & #2 (edd 12-8-14)
We also have livestock. When I was growing up, I had to help with the raising of all our livestock. Taught me responsibility. I can't wait until my son can join us :)
We still go back to Illinois during the holidays and have an old fashioned country Christmas. I've learned to enjoy and appreciate both ways of life. It's interesting toe how judgmental people can be about a different lifestyle when they haven't lived it.
abheppe - I'm in CI right now. There is so much corn all around where I'm at! It seems like where there is a spare patch of land there is corn growing on it! Next to Walmart is my favorite lol.

I saw this announcement and wanted to get it out to you…it caught my interest due to the limitless possibilities!
Cheers,Stephen Ibaraki, FCIPS, I.S.P., MVP
The first beta version of Silverlight 1.0 and a roadmap for the product and other related technologies is now available. Microsoft also has an alpha version of Silverlight 1.1, a NET Framework version of Silverlight plus Expression Studio for Web and creative designers.
From their news release…Today, Microsoft's relationship with both developers and designers took another step forward. At MIX 2007 — Microsoft's conference for Web designers, developers and decision-makers who make their living at the forefront of the Web — the company announced the official release of Microsoft Expression Studio and offered new details about Microsoft Silverlight and what it offers developers and designers as part of the proven and widely used .NET platform. Silverlight is a cross-browser, cross-platform implementation of .NET for delivering the next generation of media experiences and Rich Interactive Applications (RIAs) for the Web.
I watched an online demo of Silverlight the other day and the "Wow, really starts now". I couldn't believe how easy it is to edit video via the interface and with .NET behind the scenes I can't wait to see what can be done with programming extensions.

It looks to be perfect--I agree!

Overview of the National Environmental Scorecard
Since 1970, the National Environmental Scorecard has been providing objective, factual information about the most important environmental legislation considered and the corresponding voting records of all members of Congress. The Scorecard represents the consensus of experts from about 20 respected environmental and conservation organizations who select the key votes on which members of Congress should be scored. LCV scores votes on the most important issues of the year, including energy, global warming, public health, public lands and wildlife conservation, and spending for environmental programs. The Scorecard is the nationally accepted yardstick used to rate members of Congress on environmental, public health, and energy issues.
Overview of the 2014 National Environmental Scorecard
The American public's growing concern about climate change in 2014 stands in stark contrast to the anti-environment agenda and votes of the U.S. House of Representatives, as detailed in this year's National Environmental Scorecard. Fortunately, the House's breathtaking attacks on our air, water, lands, and wildlife were blocked by our allies in the U.S. Senate, who grew even more vocal this year about the urgency of addressing climate change. We were also thrilled by the progress made by President Barack Obama, who continued using his executive authority to build on his historic record on climate change and other environmental priorities.
Again this year, the impacts of climate change broke records, further motivating the American people to call for climate action. 2014 registered as the hottest year on Earth since record-keeping began in 1880, punctuating a trend that includes 14 of the 15 hottest years recorded this century. This warming is just one of the many impacts of dangerous carbon pollution—including rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and drought in some areas and flooding in others—each of which was detailed in this year's National Climate Assessment, the most comprehensive and authoritative scientific report ever produced about climate's impacts on the United States and our economy. This growing evidence of climate change helped mobilize more than 300,000 people to march this fall in New York City and tens of thousands more in cities around the world.

New baby advice
Comments (5)
Stay consistent.
She is acting out because her entire world has been turned upside-down. This is new and hard for her. This may be really, really hard for both you and DH, but don't take it out on her. Stay calm and do whatever you would have done before baby (time out, etc.) and don't let your frustrations with her/lack of sleep/etc. show.
And between you and DH, give her as much "her" time as possible without the baby. The first month or 2 is hard. Then she will fall into a new routine and life will become "normal" again. Just a new kind of normal.
Becky Mama to Joey (5/14/08) and Tommy (10/13/09)
I agree with exactly what Becky said. It will get better with consistency, patience & time.
M(8): Growing up way too fast!

Try to understand that while you are focused on getting the baby to sleep, she is going to forget. Dont get mad or yell or spank since she'll blame the baby for her punishment. Just talk about it, practice being quiet together, let her play with something special while you're busy.
I have a 6 month old and the hardest time to not flip out is when he wakes the baby. But he really is a good and loving and considerate big brother, just gets caught up in his playing and gets loud.
Also, she can't explain what she needs and is feeling. If she's pushing baby off your lap, don't tell her not to push, Say, "Oh, you want to be on my lap? Say "My turn mommy. Please put baby down." and then put baby in the swing while you cuddle. You don't have to scold for pushing, she'll naturally stop pushing and start asking. Thats just an example, but it works for tons of situations.

Sales activity is likely to be much slower this year than last. December sales for El Dorado County were off by 24 percent from December 2012. It was the fifth straight month of declining sales. That's pretty much the same story for the rest of the state. According to DataQuick, Sacramento County home sales were about 20 percent below their historical average for December and in Southern California and the Bay Area, sales figures were the lowest for any December since 2007.
One reason cited for declining sales is the low number of homes for sale. As of last week, the Multiple Listing Service was showing 550 homes in El Dorado County currently listed. That's 24 percent lower than a year earlier and half the number of homes for sale during January three years ago.
There are fewer sellers today because many who had been waiting for the right opportunity have already listed and sold their home. The 30 percent bump in the median selling price of a county home last year started a sellers' stampede, allowing then to do what they had wanted to do for several years — move. This caused a spike in inventory which began in 2012. That's pretty much over.
There would be more listings but many would-be sellers still don't have sufficient equity to sell their home to go buy something else. They're staying put, waiting for further increases in property values. Realtytrac, a source of housing information, recently released its Home Equity & Underwater Report showing 9.3 million U.S. residential properties were worth at least 25 percent less than the combined loans secured by the property or 19 percent of all properties with a mortgage.
In addition to fewer homes for sale this year, there are likely to be fewer sales. Many buyers who drove the market over the last two years are no longer players. Long-term investors who accounted for a big increase in the number of sales priced less than $200,000 are no longer buying. First-time buyers, who in the past took advantage of low-priced foreclosures and short-sales, are as scarce as inventors. Short-term flippers are pretty much out of the market and the undecided fence sitters who were waiting for home prices to bottom out have already purchased a home. The fundamental pent-up home buying demand has been satisfied. Everyone that should have, could have and would have now own a home. So who will be the new buyers?
Sure, there will always be a certain number of families buying homes. Folks will continue to move to our county and new households will continue to be created. The intensity of the market and the number of sales, however, is likely to taper from previous years. That's not all bad. A more evenly balanced market allows buyers to make better buying decisions and prevents another price bubble from forming. The 4 to 6 percent property appreciation rate that housing economists are predicting for this year is attractive to homebuyers and keeps sellers' expectations in check.
Another change this year will be in the profile of the most common homebuyer. Investors and first-time buyers are being replaced with trade-up and boomerang buyers. Both groups will have different priorities in their selection of housing and will interact differently with sellers in their negotiations.
This isn't the first rodeo for trade-up buyers who have purchased and sold at least two other homes. This will be their last or next to last purchase. Many have patiently watched from the sidelines, refusing to participate in the past frenzied market. Now that sellers have less of a negotiating advantage, trade-up buyers are venturing out in search of another home and flush with cash from the sale of their home. A quality address is more important than price. They will pay a premium for upgraded features and a secure community lifestyle. New single level homes are their preferred choice. They will have in excess of a 20 percent down payment when applying for a mortgage and one-third of this group will pay cash. Trade-up buyers will be less sensitive to any increase in interest rates, expected to average more than 5 percent this next year. Trade-ups will not make a hasty buying decision. If, after selling their existing home, they are unable to find a suitable replacement they may rent until the right house becomes available. Many trade-ups will be from out of the area.
Another most likely buyer driving sales will be the "boomerang buyers." These folks lost a home in a foreclosure or short sale and are back looking to buy a home. Many lost homes going back to 2008 but policy revisions to FHA and more recently to Fannie Mae, now make it possible to buy a home as recently as one year after a foreclosure. There are restrictions. Most boomerangs buyers will be local and have knowledge of the area.
Boomerang buyers have learned a tough lesson. They will be more cautions with their next purchase and mortgage financing. Affordability will trump condition and location. They will sacrifice on size and amenities. Having lost one home, resale value will be important. Boomerangs have been renting and will be anxious to buy a home again.

Best Restaurant, Palm Beach (2001)
It only makes sense that this year's ribbon-taker here is last year's Best New Restaurant. We knew from the moment we stepped into this elegant bistro, owned by chef John Belleme and partner Allison Barber, that longevity could be billed along with homemade lobster won tons on the New American menu. The kitchen still turns out stimulating preparations of day-boat seafood in brothy nages, spice-crusted game birds, and cuts of beef and lamb moistened with demi-glace. Service is at worst professional and at best personalized -- another winning combo. 'Course, with all these accolades, we're cutting our own culinary throats: It's already difficult to snag a reservation. Now it's going to be dang near impossible.

Hear Tom Tangney and John Curley every weekday at 9am on KIRO Radio 97.3 FM
Tom & Curley
< Tom and Curley
Students face sleep deprivation as they head back to school
With kids heading back to school, the biggest challenge won't be reading, writing or arithmetic. It'll be staying awake.
"This is a national crisis because we need to have educated kids that need to be smart," says KIRO co-host John Curley about studies finding the average American child who gets an hour of sleep less per night suffers significant learning and health problems.
"They have really found that an hour of lost sleep can account for ADD, obesity and a grade going from an A to a C," says Curley.
In a conversation on Seattle's Morning News, Curley called for a change in school schedules to allow kids more sleep each night.
"They tested kids given 30 minutes of additional sleep, and they scored about average for themselves and their age group. Those that got 30 minutes less went from a sixth grade level to a fourth grade level," says Curley.
But co-host Linda Thomas says the problem is greater than school start times. She points to the workload her daughter faces nightly.
"With high school students, they generally have so much homework to do from the moment they get home. My daughter is working on her homework, it can be until like 12:00, 1:00 in the morning," Thomas says.
And co-host Tom Tangney argues even a reduced workload might not solve any problems.
"You can't force kids [to sleep]. I think if you give them an extra hour, there's no telling if they would take that hour to actually sleep," Tangney says.
Studies find teens need 9 to 11 hours of sleep nightly for optimal health. But as school demands increase in many districts, sleep is likely to become an even rarer commodity for young people.
"Don't you see how ridiculous that is? Add more work to a kid who gets less sleep so their brain functions less efficiently, so their grade is not good, so you give them more work. I mean it is a downward spiral of failure," Curley says.

Definitions for EGOˈi goʊ, ˈɛg oʊ
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word EGO
Princeton's WordNet
ego, egotism, self-importance(noun)
an inflated feeling of pride in your superiority to others
self, ego(noun)
your consciousness of your own identity
(psychoanalysis) the conscious mind
(Psychoanalysis) that one of the three parts of a person's psychic apparatus that mediates consciously between the drives of the id and the realities of the external physical and social environment, by integrating perceptions of the external world and organizing the reactions to it. Contrasted with the id and superego.
egotism; as, a job requiring a diplomat without too much ego.
self-esteem; as, he has an overinflated ego.
The conscious and permanent subject of all psychical experiences, whether held to be directly known or the product of reflective thought; the subject consciously considered as
Origin: [L., I.]
the self, especially with a sense of self-importance
the most central part of the mind, which mediates with one's surroundings
Origin: From ego. Chosen by Freud's translator as a translation of his use of German Ich as a noun for this concept from the pronoun ich.
Webster Dictionary
the conscious and permanent subject of all psychical experiences, whether held to be directly known or the product of reflective thought; -- opposed to non-ego
Origin: [L., I.]
In spirituality, and especially nondual, mystical, and eastern meditative traditions, individual existence is often described as a kind of illusion. This "sense of doership" or sense of individual existence is that part which believes it is the human being, and believes it must fight for itself in the world, is ultimately unaware and unconscious of its own true nature. The ego is often associated with mind and the sense of time, which compulsively thinks in order to be assured of its future existence, rather than simply knowing its own self and the present. The spiritual goal of many traditions involves the dissolving of the ego, allowing self-knowledge of one's own true nature to become experienced and enacted in the world. This is variously known as Enlightenment, Nirvana, Fana, Presence, and the "Here and Now". Eckhart Tolle comments that, to the extent that the ego is present in an individual, that individual is somewhat insane psychologically, in reference to the ego's nature as compulsively hyper-active and compulsively self-centered. However, since this is the norm, it goes unrecognised as the source of much that could be classified as insane behavior in everyday life. In South Asian traditions, the state of being trapped in the illusory belief that one is the ego is known as maya or samsara.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
and Non-Ego (i. e. I and Not-I, or Self and Not-Self), are terms used in philosophy to denote respectively the subjective and the objective in cognition, what is from self and what is from the external to self, what is merely individual and what is universal.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
The conscious portion of the personality structure which serves to mediate between the demands of the primitive instinctual drives, (the id), of internalized parental and social prohibitions or the conscience, (the superego), and of reality.

Municipal Wastewater
Methane is produced when the organic material in municipal wastewater decomposes anaerobically. Varying amounts of methane are emitted during the collection, handling, and treatment of wastewater depending on methods employed. A number of techniques can be employed to reduce or recover and use wastewater methane that can yield substantial energy, economic, environmental, air quality, and public health benefits.
The GMI Municipal Wastewater Subcommittee is dedicated to reducing the impacts of climate change by providing international leadership to mitigate global methane emissions through the abatement, recovery, and use of methane from municipal wastewater sources. Technical experts from government and the private sector participate in the Subcommittees. Each subcommittee has developed a sector-specific Action Plan that identifies the needs, opportunities and priorities for project development globally as well as key barriers and strategies to overcome them. The technical subcommittees also facilitate investment and financing opportunities and other cooperative activities and projects that advance the abatement and recovery of methane and its use as an energy source.
Partner Sector Action Plans
The GMI Steering Committee approved revised Partner Sector Action Plans – Suggested Elements (PDF, 3 pp, 139 KB) in July 2013. Country representatives are encouraged to use this guidance in updating existing plans or in developing new plans. Please submit revised or new plans to the Administrative Support Group for inclusion on this page.

Growing cherry tomatoes is becoming increasingly popular and it is no surprise when you consider just how versatile they are in the kitchen.
Not only are they among the earliest to ripen and sweetest taste, perhaps their most useful quality is that they will grow in the smallest of spaces – depending on the variety.
Even if you only have a balcony or window-box it is still possible to grow cherry tomatoes successfully. Containers including large pots, hanging baskets and grow bags are also a great way to grow tomato plants that produce smaller size fruit.
Growing from Seed
Many cherry varieties are easy to grow from seed, and dwarf varieties such as Balconi Red and Sweet 'n' Neat won't become leggy in periods of low light in the spring. This means that they can be sown earlier without the seedlings becoming spindly.
Best Soil
The best soil for cherry tomatoes is John Innes or multi-purpose compost/potting soil from the garden centre.
If you plant tomato plants directly into your garden soil, the plants will probably be attacked by all sorts of diseases and bugs that will nibble on the leaves and fruit.
If using a small container or hanging basket, it is good to add water retaining gel to prevent the soil from drying out too quickly in hot weather. Perlite and vermiculite are also very good for retaining moisture.
Knowing which varieties grow best in your area is the first step to success. Another consideration is how much root space each variety needs, so below I have grouped the ones that I've grown into categories and can recommend for the following spaces.
Bush Determinate Varieties – Dwarf
Balconi Red, Minibel, Vilma, Sweet 'n' Neat and Micro Tom are excellent choices for the smallest of spaces and can all be grown in a 6 inch pot.
Growing Indoors
Dwarf varieties can also be grown indoors over the winter months with a little extra light from a grow light. There are a number of hydroponic set ups on the market that are perfect for growing small cherry varieties that are of a bush habit.
Hundreds and Thousands – 100s and 1000s will produce an amazing crop of tomatoes. Although they are a small cherry, their taste is excellent and well worth a try this season.
As a trailing variety, they are best grown in a high pot or hanging basket.
If you grow Tumbler (below) and Red Alert in a container that has plenty of room for their roots, you will be rewarded with a good size cherry.
Growing tomatoes upside down, as in a Topsy Turvy Planter, is ideal using trailing varieties. Tumbling Tom would be a good choice and it comes in both red and yellow types!
Tips on Hanging Baskets and Containers
Tomato plants are very clever and will work hard to flower and produce fruit – especially when their roots tell them that they are running out of space!
This means that if you put too many plants in a hanging basket or small container, your tomatoes may ripen smaller than expected because of the limited room.
If you are growing cherry tomatoes or even grape/cocktail size tomatoes, you may end up with very small fruit indeed, so always use a container with plenty of root space.
Trailing are best grown in high sided containers and off the ground.
Tumbling Tom, Tumbler F1, Maskotka are trailing types.
Upright bush tomatoes are suitable for any type of container.
Balconi Red, Vilma and Micro Tom are small upright types.
Cherry Varieties Mature Early
One of the great advantages of cherry varieties is that they are more likely to ripen in a poor summer – they have less growing to do.
All of the above varieties are bush types but there are many other cherry tomato varieties available, especially among the tall/cordon varieties.
Tall Cherry Varieties – such as Sungold
These are known as cordon or indeterminate varieties because they grow to an indeterminate height – any height that the growing conditions will allow.
Of the tall varieties, Sungold is among the sweetest. It can be grown in grow bags up against a wall or in the greenhouse.
Best Indeterminate Cherry Varieties for UK
Sun Cherry Premium and Golden Cherry are also around the same size and sweetness. Piccolo is another popular cherry variety and produces a huge amount of well flavoured tomatoes with a good sugar/acid balance.
Another good choice is Black Cherry which produces dark brown coloured tomatoes. It yields a good amount of fruit on a tall, vigorous plant but it can be a little difficult to know when the fruit are fully ripe because of the colour (but don't let that put you off), I'll grow it again this year!
One of the best and most balanced for taste (acid/sugar content) is Gardener's Delight. It is a red cherry and has truly delighted gardeners for many years … very dependable.
Balconi Red (left) is about 10 inches tall and is very compact. Easily grown in a medium size pot or window box.
Large pots & containers are perfect for growing cherry tomatoes. In a large pot I would grow two or even three plants depending on their root requirements.
Micro Tom produces tomatoes the size of grapes and is very easy to grow on a sunny windowsill indoors.
Pruning Cherry Varieties
Bush varieties do not need to be pruned or have the growing tip removed. Tall indeterminate plants do need their side shoots removed and the growing tip removed above the top truss. It is usual to grow between four and seven trusses on a cherry variety.
Use stakes to support the main stem on bush varieties when they are laden with fruit.
So why don't you have a go in 2015 … it is very rewarding!

Article: Effects of volume and composition of the resuscitative fluids in the treatment of hemorrhagic shock[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To evaluate the effectiveness of normal saline, hypertonic saline, and Ringer's lactate solution followed by blood infusion in ameliorating the physiological, biochemical, and organ functions following hemorrhagic shock (HS) in rats. Anesthetized, male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent computer-controlled HS, and were randomly divided into five groups consisting of (1) sham, (2) HS without resuscitation, (3) resuscitation with normal saline, (4) resuscitation with hypertonic saline, and (5) resuscitation with Ringer's lactate solution. All resuscitated animals were infused with subsequent infusion of shed blood. Animals were continuously monitored for physiological, hemodynamic, biochemical parameters, and organ dysfunctions. Non-resuscitated animals were unable to survive due to hypotension, poor oxygen metabolism, and lactic acidosis. Although these HS related parameters were corrected by all the fluids used in this study, additional blood infusion was more effective than fluid resuscitation alone. Also, hypertonic saline was more effective than Ringer's lactate solution, and normal saline was the least effective in preserving the liver and kidney functions and muscle damage. All crystalloid fluids were significantly more effective in reversing the HS outcome when used with blood infusion, but hypertonic salinewith blood was more effective in preventing the organ damage than Lactated Ringers solutions or normal saline in the treatment of HS.
Article: Effects of Caffeine, Halothane, and 4-Chloro-m-cresol on Skeletal Muscle Lactate and Pyruvate in Malignant Hyperthermia???susceptible and Normal Swine as Assessed by Microdialysis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle fibers from malignant hyperthermia (MH)-susceptible humans and swine are markedly more sensitive to ryanodine receptor (RyR1) agonists than those from normal individuals. Reproducible shifts in the dose-response of skeletal muscle to caffeine and halothane are the basis of the current in vitro diagnostic caffeine-halothane contracture test. In an attempt to develop a less invasive MH diagnostic test, the authors determined the effects of RyR1 agonists (caffeine, 4-chloro-m-cresol [4CmC], and halothane) on the adductor muscle with respect to the lactate-pyruvate (L/P) system that was percutaneously dialyzed using a microdialysis technique in homozygous MH-susceptible compared with normal swine. Animals were anesthetized (ketamine-propofol) and artificially ventilated. Sets of six CMA/20 microdialysis catheters were implanted; each catheter was perfused with different RyR1 agonist concentrations. After a 30-min equilibration after implantation, one of the catheters was perfused (2 microl/min) with vehicle (0.9% saline or lipid emulsion), and the other five were perfused with caffeine (1-64 mM), 4CmC (0.1-8 mM), or halothane (prepared in lipid emulsion; 10-500 mM). Outflow dialysate fractions collected at 10-min intervals and L/P parameters were measured enzymatically. Only in the MH-susceptible group did all RyR1 agonists increase dialysate L/P in a dose-dependent manner. The dose-effect relations were most prominent with 4CmC. With the halothane lipid emulsion, data scatter was high compared with that of the caffeine group and especially the 4CmC group. There were no signs of global muscle rigidity, systemic hypermetabolism, or a clinical MH episode during microdialysis RyR1 perfusion. The authors data demonstrate that the in vivo muscle microdialysis of the porcine L/P system reveals distinct differences between MH-susceptible and MH-normal muscle, especially in response to highly specific RyR1 agonists such as 4CmC. The microdialysis L/P technique seems to have an MH diagnostic potential in the clinical setting.
Article: Pyruvate Modulates Hepatic Mitochondrial Functions and Reduces Apoptosis Indicators during Hemorrhagic Shock in Rats[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dysfunctional mitochondria have been widely accepted as one of the key targets and a mediator of secondary cell injury and organ failure during hemorrhagic shock (HS). The liver is known to be the first organ to display the signs of injury during HS. This report describes experiments to determine whether modulation of hepatic mitochondrial dysfunctions by pharmacologic agents could prevent liver injury in rats subjected to HS. In this study, Sprague-Dawley rats were either treated as controls or subjected to computer-controlled arterial hemorrhage (40 mmHg) for 60 min followed by resuscitation with hypertonic saline, hypertonic beta-hydroxybutyrate, or hypertonic sodium pyruvate for the next 60 min before death. During the course of the experiment, animals were continuously monitored for hemodynamic and metabolic parameters. At the end of the experiment, the liver was excised and examined for oxidative injury, mitochondrial functions, expression of nitric oxide synthase, and indicators of apoptosis. In comparison to hypertonic saline and hypertonic beta-hydroxybutyrate, pyruvate significantly protected the liver from oxidative injury, prevented the up-regulation of nitric oxide synthase, inhibited pyruvate dehydrogenase deactivation, and improved cellular energy charge and mitochondrial functions. In addition, pyruvate also reduced cleavage of poly-adenosine diphosphate ribose polymerase by preventing leakage of mitochondrial cytochrome c in the liver of HS animals. These data suggest that modulation of mitochondrial metabolic functions is likely to be one of the important mechanisms by which pyruvate exerts its protective effects on the liver during HS and resuscitation in rats.
Article: Hemorrhagic Shock in Swine: Nitric Oxide and Potassium Sensitive Adenosine Triphosphate Channel Activation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: To determine the role of nitric oxide and adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium (KATP) vascular channels in vascular decompensation during controlled hemorrhagic shock in swine. Thirty instrumented, anesthetized adolescent Yorkshire swine were subjected to controlled isobaric hemorrhage to a mean arterial pressure of 40 mmHg for 2 h (n = 6) or 4 h (n = 10) or 50 mmHg for 4 h (n = 8). An additional six animals were used as anesthetized instrumented time controls. During controlled hemorrhage, plasma and tissue samples were obtained every 30 to 60 min. Before euthanasia, tissue (carotid artery, lung, liver, and aorta) was obtained for analysis of nitrate concentrations and nitric oxide synthase activity. Isolated carotid artery ring reactivity to norepinephrine was also determined with and without glibenclamide. Animals hemorrhaged to 40 mmHg decompensated earlier than animals hemorrhaged to 50 mmHg. Plasma nitrate concentrations and nitric oxide synthase activity rose consistently throughout hemorrhage in both groups. However, they were substantially higher in the mean arterial pressure 40 group. Constitutive nitric oxide synthase activity was the major contributor to total nitric oxide synthase activity throughout the protocol with only the animals maintained at 40 mmHg for 4 h showing evidence of inducible nitric oxide synthase activity. Profound KATP channel activation and hyporeactivity of isolated vessel rings to norepinephrine was not observed until 4 h after the initiation of hemorrhagic shock. Only those animals with inducible nitric oxide synthase activity showed a decreased response to norepinephrine, and this hyporeactivity was reversed with the KATP channel inhibitor, glibenclamide. The data indicate that profound KATP activation associated with increased nitric oxide concentrations and inducible nitric oxide synthase induction is a key factor in vascular smooth muscle hyporeactivity characteristic of the late decompensatory phase of hemorrhagic shock in swine.
Article: Pyruvate prevents poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) activation, oxidative damage, and pyruvate dehydrogenase deactivation during hemorrhagic shock in swine[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The inadequate availability of fuel substrates and sharp decline in cellular ATP have been implicated in a cascade of events associated with cell death and organ failure during hemorrhagic shock (HS). In this in vivo swine model of severe prolonged HS, the effect of exogenous pyruvate administration on various markers of cell damage in brain and liver was examined. Thirty minutes after the start of controlled arterial hemorrhage, 30% sodium pyruvate, 10% saline, or 0.9% saline was administered via jugular vein. Four hours after the initiation of hemorrhage, tissue samples from brain and liver were obtained and examined for the cellular and molecular markers of cellular damage. Results of our study suggest that pyruvate prevents loss of total NAD content, cleavage of poly-ADP ribose polymerase (PARP), and inhibits lipid peroxidation in both the brain and liver of swine during prolonged severe HS. We conclude that there are multiple mechanisms by which pyruvate can possibly prevent cell damage caused during HS.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have shown that the liver is the first organ to display signs of injury during hemorrhagic shock. We examined the mechanism by which pyruvate can prevent liver damage during hemorrhagic shock in swine anesthetized with halothane. Thirty minutes after the induction of a 240-min controlled arterial hemorrhage targeted at 40 mmHg, hypertonic sodium pyruvate (0.5 g. kg(-1). h(-1)) was infused to achieve an arterial concentration of 5 mM. The volume and osmolality effects of pyruvate were matched with 10% saline (HTS) and 0.9% saline (NS). Although the peak hemorrhage volume increased significantly in both the pyruvate and HTS group, only the pyruvate treatment was effective in delaying cardiovascular decompensation. In addition, pyruvate effectively maintained the NADH/NAD redox state, as evidenced by increased microdialysate pyruvate levels and a significantly lower lactate-to-pyruvate ratio. Pyruvate also prevented the loss of intracellular antioxidants (GSH) and a reduction in the GSH-to-GSSG ratio. These beneficial effects on the redox environment decreased hepatic cellular death by apoptosis. Pyruvate significantly increased the ratio of Bcl-Xl (antiapoptotic molecule)/Bax (proapoptotic molecule), prevented the release of cytochrome c from mitochondria, and decreased the fragmentation of caspase 3 and poly(ADP ribose) polymerase (DNA repair enzyme). These beneficial findings indicate that pyruvate infused 30 min after the onset of severe hemorrhagic shock is effective in maintaining the redox environment, preventing the loss of the key antioxidant GSH, and decreasing early apoptosis indicators.

Auxilium Pharmaceuticals, Inc. recently dosed its first patient for the phase II study on Xiaflex for the treatment of frozen shoulder syndrome (FSS or adhesive capsulitis).
We note Xiaflex, in-licensed from BioSpecifics Technologies Corp. , is approved in the U.S. and EU (EU trade name: Xiapex) for Dupuytren's Contracture (DC).
The phase II study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of Xiaflex for the treatment of stage II (frozen stage) unilateral idiopathic FSS.
The phase II study will enrol approximately 300 adult men and women at approximately 35 sites in the U.S. and Australia. The study will randomize the subjects in the ratio of 3:1 to receive Xiaflex or placebo. These subjects will receive up to three ultrasound-guided injections of Xiaflex. The primary endpoint is the change (degrees) from baseline to the day 95 follow-up visit in active forward flexion in the affected shoulder compared to placebo.
We remind investors that Xiaflex was approved earlier in the month for an additional indication of Peyronie's disease (PD) in men with a palpable plaque and a curvature deformity of 30 degrees or greater at the start of therapy.
Xiaflex has been granted Orphan Drug Designation in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for DC and PD.
Auxilium has two FDA approved products in its portfolio – Testim and Xiaflex. Testim (1% testosterone) is approved for the treatment of hypogonadism or low testosterone level.
We are encouraged by Auxilium Pharma's efforts to expand Xiaflex's label. The approval of other indications for Xialflex will lower Auxilium Pharma's dependence on Testim. The Actient acquisition earlier this year, the full promotional launch of Stendra in January, and the recent approval of Xiaflex for PD will help strengthen the company's position in the men's healthcare area.
Auxilium Pharma currently carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). Some better-ranked stocks in the same sector include Forest Laboratories and Questcor Pharmaceuticals, Inc. . Both are Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks.

Head Start
Head Start is a national program administered by the Office of Head Start within the Administration on Children, Youth and Families (ACF), Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Head Start programs provide comprehensive services for low-income children from birth to entry into kindergarten.
Head Start currently receives more than $6.8 billion in funds and serves more than 906,000 low-income children and families nationwide. The program is child-centered, family-focused, comprehensive, and community-based. Head Start services are designed to address developmental goals for children, employment and self-sufficiency goals for adults, and support for parents in their work and child-caring roles.
Head Start is a direct federal-to-local program administered by more than 1,600 locally based public or private organizations (called "grantees") across the country.
In Pennsylvania, 36 Early Head Start grantees provide services to 4,156 children from birth to age 3 or to pregnant women. Children age 3 to entry into elementary school receive Head Start services from 49 grantee agencies. Federal funds provide 27,960 children with Head Start Services.

Subject: Pennsylvania Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program Request for Applications Announced-Action Required
Pennsylvania's fiscal year (FY) 2015-16 proposed budget makes historic investments in education to prepare our children for the jobs of tomorrow, including an additional $120 million more for early childhood education. With new investments in Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts ($100 million) and the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program ($20 million), the state will be able to increase the number of children served in high-quality pre-kindergarten by 75 percent. The proposal in the fiscal year (FY) 2015-16 Executive Budget represents the first step in achieving the goal of universal access to high quality pre-kindergarten programs. Please note that funding is contingent upon approval by the Pennsylvania Legislature.
The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) is seeking applicants for the Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program (HSSAP). HSSAP provides children with the opportunity to experience a high quality pre-kindergarten program. The program standards will ensure a high return on the investment in the preparation of young children for school and will help to close the achievement gap. Early education through Head Start can open the doors of opportunity for every child to do well in school, in the workforce, and in life. Applicants may submit funding proposals aligned with the program models outlined in the Head Start Performance Standards 1306 Part C.
PDE is issuing this Request for Applications now in order to support providers in preparing to serve additional children and to assist in being ready for enrollment by September. We recognize that providers need to conduct outreach to families; recruit, hire and train staff; and do all of the planning necessary to successfully implement the program pending approval of proposed funding.
This application material is intended to help providers think about what their capacity can be under the proposed $120 million increase in available state funds for high-quality pre-kindergarten programs. Approximately 116,000 3- and 4-year-olds are currently unserved in high-quality programs, and you can see the estimated number of unserved children in the school district(s) you serve in Appendix 1 of the guidelines.
This competitive opportunity will select eligible grantees for a two-year grant period beginning this year. The following entities are eligible to apply in the competitive process for FY 2015-16:
Successful applicants MUST demonstrate:
Applicants must have the following in place in order to complete an application: a REQUIRED Letter of Intent, a vendor number (SAP #), an administrative unit number (AUN), a master provider index number (MPI), and a federal ID number or tax ID number.
Program Requirements
Eligible applicants that apply for HSSAP funding must provide assurance that they operate in full compliance with the federal Head Start Performance Standards as reported on their Triennial Monitoring Review Report. They assure they will provide updates to the Office of Child Development and Early Learning and the Head Start Collaboration Office director if any changes in their compliance occur. Failure to do so jeopardizes grant funding.
Letter of Intent
Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program applicants MUST complete a REQUIRED Letter of Intent using the template posted below. The Letter of Intent form represents intent to apply for HSSAP funding and includes preliminary information about requested funding, program model, provider type, and area to be served. The Letter of Intent is a requirement in order to gain access to the eGrants system and to be eligible to submit an application for funding. Programs interested in applying must submit a fully completed mandatory Letter of Intent by 3 pm on April 29, 2015 to firstname.lastname@example.com. Programs who do not submit a timely Letter of Intent will not be able to apply in the eGrants system. Late submissions will not be accepted. Those agencies submitting a fully complete Letter of Intent by the due date will be notified when the HSSAP application is open in eGrants.
Information submitted in the Letter of Intent may be modified in the final eGrants application. Agencies also interested in applying for Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts funding will complete ONE combined letter of intent as reflected in the provided template.
Pre-Application webinar
The pre-application webinar will provide the necessary information to assist interested applicants in the completion of the application. See below for scheduled dates and times. The webinars will include the opportunity to ask questions regarding the application process, and program requirements.

If you are an intermediate unit, select Search for Intermediate Units. If you are not an intermediate unit, select Advanced Search and search for your agency.
Applicants that are not already licensed by PDE, and therefore do not have an AUN number, should contact Brian Bell in the Office of Child Development and Early Learning at (717) 346-0038.
Master Provider Index Number
All HSSAP applicants will need a Master Provider Index (MPI) number as part of the application process. MPI numbers are used across the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) to identify legal entities and service locations that participate in any of their programs. As such, they are used in DHS's data system as a common identifier for all of the Office of Child Development and Early Learning's (which is a joint office between PDE and DHS) programs, including Child Care Licensing, Early Intervention, Pennsylvania Pre-K Counts, Head Start Supplemental Assistance Program and Keystone STARS.
Legal entities are assigned a unique 9-digit MPI number. In addition, service locations are assigned a unique 13-digit MPI number, which is created by adding a 4-digit extension to the 9-digit MPI of the legal entity. Legal entities and service providers currently participating in any of these programs should have an MPI number.
Applicants that are not currently participating in any of these programs should contact the Early Learning Network (ELN) Help Desk at (877) 491-3818 and provide their Federal Tax ID to determine their MPI numbers. MPI numbers will not be able to be provided without a Federal Tax ID. If an MPI is not identified a request form will need to be completed.
Tax ID Number or Federal ID Number
This is the number that an agency uses on its federal W-9 form. Applicants for HSSAP funds should consult with the person who handles tax, legal or accounting matters for the agency to determine the federal ID number when you check on your legal name and address.
For questions contact PDE by sending an email to email@example.com.

Treasurer for our Edinburgh Branch
This is not an onerous position and generally requires no more than 2 hours input per month including reconciling transactions with the bank statement. There are rarely more than 10 transactions per month and in addition the Branch undertake around 6 -10 can collections per year and 1 or 2 specific fundraising events.
The treasurer is responsible for acknowledging donations and providing the Branch with a written update of the accounts at their bi-monthly meetings. Some ad-hoc work in support of the can collections is required mainly to ensure that the cans are uplifted after the event but Branch Members regularly take on this task as well.
The Branch itself comprises around 10 core members who meet on a bi-annual basis in East Edinburgh – Portobello area.
If you are interested please contact Ann Callaghan on 07792447436
Board Trustees
MND Scotland is governed by a voluntary Board of Trustees that oversee the running of the organisation. We seek new members to the Board, who have skills in areas such as campaigning; charity governance; fundraising and income generation; IT; legal knowledge; marketing; PR and communications. Our Chief Executive, Craig Stockton will be keen to discuss responsibilities and offer further information if you are interested in becoming a member of our Board of Trustees.

Letter to all PGHAN members
I have taken over the reins from Bim Bhaduri as PeGHAN Chair following the Council Meeting at the RCPCH Spring Meeting, Subra Mahedavan-Bava stepped down from standing against me, so an election wasn't needed in the end after the electronic ballot was declared void. Subra would have made an excellent chair but has taken on other challenges including working on the general paediatric CSAC committee, I hope he will stand in the future.
I would like to thank Bim for the work he has put in over the last few years, particularly his work on developing the SPIN module for PGHAN. I would like to take the opportunity to remind you all about the SPIN module. Please do take a look at it (available via BSPGHAN website or via the RCPCH website http://www.rcpch.ac.uk/training-examinations-professional-development/quality-and-standards/special-interest-modules/traine. If you feel you can support a trainee and have a team that can offer the experience trainees need then please remind your local regional programme directors of this! Please also encourage interested and suitable trainees to consider a SPIN module in PGHAN. All trainees wishing to acquire accreditation must now do this prospectively, as retrospective recognition has finished.
I am currently continuing the work Bim has started on a SPIN module for consultants post CCT. When available evidence can be submitted retrospectively until 2016, so if you are considering this, please keep evidence that will be useful. This is going to be very similar to the trainee SPIN module, so please consult this to guide what evidence to collate.
For those of you who don't know me I am a paediatric gastroenterologist in Stoke-on-Trent. Our department provides lots of paediatric gastroenterology services including endoscopy, but does not offer home PN. I am keen to develop networks and work on getting children and young people the high quality PGHN services they deserve where ever they live, and of course that is dependent on high quality PeGHAN services led by yourselves. I worked on the standards document that describes what services should be available in network centres with PeGHAN consultants with Mike Cosgrove and other PeGHAN consultants. We were keen to avoid being prescriptive about how services were delivered, whilst ensuring standards were high for patients. Thanks to all who were involved, particularly Mike who was an excellent chair.
I attended the BSPGHAN strategy day in Birmingham on 28th April and was pleased to see that equity of access to services is a priority for BSPGHAN Council too. Other topics covered were the intestinal failure registry (as eBANS) please make sure any shared care PN patients are registered on this. It is for non PN enteral feeding patients too. I believe Andy Barclay is going to be designating regional leads for eBANS who can help you go about registering patients and getting involved. You will be able to access your own data for feedback which will be valuable.
Planning for the next Winter Meeting is underway, Chris Spray is working hard with Rafeeq Mohammed on an excellent programme. I have contacted them to remind them that we have experienced members who can contribute, particularly on the commoner GI and nutrition problems.
The BSPGHAN website has been a big success but has very little information from or for PeGHAN members. If you have links or information you feel should be included please get in touch. I am going to write some information about our group to go on there soon. Feel free to circulate this email to colleagues who are interested. Any BSPGHAN PeGHANs who are not on the mailing list let Carla or myself know.
You can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com or for a speedier reply via my work email firstname.lastname@example.com
PGHAN SPIN Module
This curriculum / competency framework is aimed towards paediatrics trainees in Level 3 training (ST6 to ST8) to gain expertise in paediatric gastroenterology, hepatology and nutrition (PGHAN), to achieve the required competencies in order to be employed as a consultant paediatrician with an interest in PGHAN. This document gives guidance on specific competencies PGHAN trainees will need to acquire in order to be signed off for this module. Trainees should work closely with their supervisor towards achieving this.
An assessment checklist tailored towards PGHAN will be used (see Appendix 1), with a final sign-off upon successful completion of the module. After successful completion, this document also needs to be uploaded onto e-portfolio. Please note that the trainee also has to achieve all the competencies in the Level 3 General Paediatric Framework. After completion of the SPIN curriculum and successful assessment of competencies, a certification process still to be agreed by the RCPCH is desirable.

Having just read the plugin hosting guidelines, I couldn't help but balk at the blatant hypocrisy of the terms.
No phoning home without explicit consent. WordPress phones home without any consent, without even an option to disable it (short of using a plugin).
No "powered by" links, yet these exist in the WordPress default them without even a filter to disable the link.
I support both of those ideals, in plugins AND in WordPress itself. Consider this in the "criticism" category.
Let me finish by saying WordPress is, on the whole, great software. It's a shame that it's let down at the edges by the likes of this.

Taylor & Francis
As the world once again draws its attention to the FIFA World Cup, fans watch in fervour to see their country take on all-comers, in hopes that they will become the world champion. Surely, no part of the event is more tense, dramatic and exhilarating than the penalty shootout- a situation that often determines who goes through to the next round, and who heads home.
It is therefore no surprise that penalty kicks and shoot outs have become a prevalent research topic in the field of sport psychology, offering a suitable setting to study how numerous psychological variables influence sporting success.
In recent years, a great deal of knowledge has accumulated on the subject, with research focussing upon the perspectives of both the penalty taker and the goalkeeper. This wealth of research has been collated in an article in International Review of Sport and Exercise Psychology, in order to create what could be the ultimate guide to penalties in football.
The aim of the article in question, 'Duelling in the penalty box: evidence-based recommendations on how both shooters and goalkeepers can win/ save penalty shootouts' was to list the possible ways in which both striker and goalkeeper can influence their performance, and includes a table which summarizes promising behaviors from the view of both the penalty taker and the goalkeeper. The list is structured according to the temporal course of a penalty: the selection of players, the run-up, the shot, and behavior after the shot.
Among other caveats, the authors are keen to point out that many of the collated findings were as a result of laboratory-based testings and therefore the results would be more accurate were they to take place in a real-world setting – a possible avenue for future research.Still, it can't hurt to take a look before the big game, can it?
Summary of Findings:
Penalty Taker Phase Recommendations
Selection of players • preferable for the player to have a chronic prevention focus• should be left-footed • should have tried and tested pre-performance routines at his/her disposal• wear a red jersey
Run-up • choose the straightest or most oblique run-up angle • choose the target of the shot in advance • look at the goalkeeper directly and walk backward facing the goalkeeper when preparing for the run-up • take enough time for the shot Shot • if technically possible, kick the ball close to but still below the crossbar• focus gaze on the target when performing the shot • avoid clear pointing of the non-kicking foot toward horizontal kicking direction After the shot • in penalty shootouts, celebrate a goal as theatrically as possible Goalkeeper Phase Recommendations Run-up• extend the temporal sequence as long as possible so that the referee does not permit an immediate shot • draw attention to self (gesticulation, jersey color) • make deceptive moves • offer a corner to the shooter by not standing exactly in the middle of the goal • exploit advance cues to anticipate the direction of the shot such as position of non-kicking leg, angle of hips/torso • start a defensive reaction shortly before ball contact • move during the aiming phase instead of remaining stationary Shot • sometimes remain in the middle of the goal • move to the left-hand corner (from the shooter's perspective) for a right-footed player and to the right-hand corner for a left-footed player • focus on the foot–ball contact region during the shot • a slow-moving goalkeeper should react earlier than a fast-moving one • assume a certain posture to 'look small'
After the shot • celebratory behavior can be expected to be useful after a save
