Article: IL-17 and IL-22-secreting myelin-specific CD4 + T cells resistant to corticoid are related with active brain lesions in multiple sclerosis patients Th17-related cytokines and radiological activity in multiple sclerosis patients
Article: Prediction of disease severity in neuromyelitis optica by the levels of IL-6 produced during remission phase[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Th17 cytokines have been implicated to neuromyelitis optica (NMO) pathogenesis. Since humanized anti-IL-6R (tocilizumab) IgG has been used as disease modifying therapy for NMO, the objective of our study was to investigate the role of endogenous IL-6 on NMO-derived CD4(+) T-cell behavior. High production of IL-6, IL-17 and IL-21 by CD4(+) T-cells was detected in NMO patients. Further, IL-21 and IL-6 levels were directly related to the level of neurological disabilities. The addition of anti-IL-6R IgG not only reduced directly the production of these cytokines, but also almost abolished the ability of activated autologous monocytes in enhancing IL-6, IL-17 and IL-21 release by CD4(+) T-cells. In contrast, in those cell cultures, the production of IL-10 was amplified. Further, anti-IL-6R mAb also potentiated the ability of glucocorticoid in reducing Th17 cytokines. Finally, the in vivo and in vitro IL-6 levels were significantly higher among those patients who experienced clinical relapse during 2-year follow-up. In summary, our results suggest a deleterious role of IL-6 in NMO by, at least in part, favoring the expansion of corticoid-resistant Th17 cells. This article is protected by copyright.

Article: Endogenous IL-6 amplifies IL-17 production and corticoid-resistance in peripheral T cells from patients with multiple sclerosis.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Interleukin (IL)-6 has been implicated in the induction of pathogenic IL-17-producing T cells in autoimmune diseases, and studies evaluating the role of this cytokine on T cell function in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients are lacking. Our objective was to evaluate the role of IL-6R signaling on in vitro functional status of T cells from relapsing remitting-MS patients during clinical remission. Our results demonstrated that, even during remission phase, activated T cells from patients produce higher levels of IL-17, and this cytokine was positively correlated with disease severity, determined by EDSS score. In MS group, the blockade of IL-6R signaling by anti-IL-6R mAb reduced IL-17 production and elevated IL-10 release by activated CD4(+) T cells, but it did not alter the production of these cytokines by activated CD8(+) T cells. IL-6R signaling blockade also reduced the ability of monocytes to up-regulate Th17 phenotype in MS patients. Finally, both cell proliferation and IL-17 release by CD4(+) and, mainly, CD8(+) T cells from MS patients were less sensitive to hydrocortisone (HC) inhibition than control group. Interestingly, IL-6R signaling blockade restored the ability of HC to inhibit both T cell proliferation and IL-17 production. Collectively, these results suggest that IL-6 might be involved in MS pathogenesis by enhancing IL-17 production and reducing corticoid inhibitory effects on activated T cells.

Article: Dopamine favors expansion of glucocorticoid-resistant IL-17-producing T cells in multiple sclerosis[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Dopamine (DA) is a neurotransmitter produced mainly in the central nervous system (CNS) that has immunomodulatory actions on T cells. As the Multiple sclerosis (MS) has long been regarded as an autoimmune disease of CNS mediated by T cells, the objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of DA on in vitro functional status of T cells from relapsing-remitting (RR)-MS patients. Peripheral T-cells from RR-MS patients were activated by mitogens and cell proliferation and cytokine production were assayed by [(3)H]-thymidine uptake and ELISA, respectively. Our results demonstrated that DA enhanced in vitro T cell proliferation and Th17-related cytokines in MS-derived cell cultures. In addition, this catecholamine reduced Treg-related cytokines (IL-10 and TGF-β) release by activated CD4(+)T cells. These DA-induced effects on T cells were mainly dependent on IL-6 production by both polyclonally-activated CD4(+) T cells and LPS-stimulated monocytes. Furthermore, the production of IL-17 and IL-6 by MS-derived T cells was directly related with neurological disability (EDSS score), and the release of these cytokines was less sensitive to glucocorticoid inhibition in MS patients than in control group, mainly after DA addition. In conclusion, our data suggest that DA amplifies glucocortoid-resistant Th17 phenotype in MS patients, and this phenomenon could be, at least in part, due to its ability to induce IL-6 production by monocytes and CD4(+) T cells.
Article: High in vitro immune reactivity to Escherichia coli in neuromyelitis optica patients is correlated with both neurological disabilities and elevated plasma lipopolysaccharide levels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The pathogenesis of neuromyelitis optica (NMO) is influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors, including infectious agents. Several infectious diseases can both trigger or exacerbate autoimmunity. The objective of the present work was to evaluate the in vitro immune responsiveness to Escherichia coli (EC), Staphylococcus aureus (SA) and Candida albicans (CA) in remittent-recurrent NMO patients, and correlate it with the level of neurological disability. Our results revealed that the extent of lymphoproliferation and cytokine profile in response to SA- and CA-stimulated PBMC cultures was similar between NMO patients and healthy individuals. Nevertheless, a higher in vitro CD4(+) T cell proliferation associated with elevated IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-17 release was observed in NMO-derived EC-stimulated cell cultures. Additionally, in these last cultures, the IL-10 production was significantly lower as compared with control group. The in vitro EC-induced levels of IL-6 and IL-17 were positively related with neurological disabilities. This higher tendency to produce Th17-related cytokines was proportional to the production of IL-23 and IL-6 by LPS-activated monocytes. Interestingly, elevated LPS levels were quantified in the plasma of NMO patients. The results suggest that a higher Th17-responsiveness to E. coli could be involved in the NMO pathogenesis.
Article: Low sensitivity to glucocorticoid inhibition of in vitro Th17-related cytokine production in multiple sclerosis patients is related to elevated plasma lipopolysaccharide levels[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Exogenous glucocorticoid plays an important role in controlling clinical relapses of multiple sclerosis (MS), but the response to this treatment differs among patients. In this study, T-cell proliferation and IL-17 production were less sensitive to hydrocortisone (HC) inhibition in MS patients than healthy individuals, mainly in CD8(+) compartment. Furthermore, in vitro IL-17 production was positively related with neurological disability and its release was proportional to IL-23 and IL-6 productions by LPS-activated monocytes. Interestingly, elevated LPS levels were quantified in the plasma of MS patients, and their levels were directly related to in vivo IL-6 production. Finally, HC-resistance in reducing IL-17 production by polyclonally-activated CD8(+) T cells was particularly observed among MS patients with higher in vivo LPS levels. In summary, the results indicate that T-cells derived from MS patients show an enhanced Th17-like phenotype that is directly associated with neurological disability, resistance to glucocorticoid inhibition and elevated bacterial translocation.
Article: The Ex Vivo Production of IL-6 and IL-21 by CD4+ T Cells is Directly Associated with Neurological Disability in Neuromyelitis Optica Patients[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), also known as Devic's disease, is an autoimmune, inflammatory disorder of the central nervous system (CNS) in which the immune system attacks myelin of the neurons located at the optic nerves and spinal cord, thus producing a simultaneous or sequential optic neuritis and myelitis. The objective of this study was evaluated the background T-cell function of patients suffering from neuromyelitis optica (NMO), an autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system. In our study, the in vitro T cell proliferation and the production of Th1 cytokines were significantly lower in cell cultures from NMO patients, as compared with healthy individuals. In contrast, a dominant Th17-like phenotype, associate with higher IL-23 and IL-6 production by LPS-activated monocytes, was observed among NMO patients. The release of IL-21 and IL-6 by polyclonaly activated CD4(+) T cells was directly correlated to neurological disability. In addition, the in vitro release of IL-21, IL-6 and IL-17 was significantly more resistant to glucocorticoid inhibition in NMO patients. In conclusion, the results indicate dominate Th17-related response in NMO patients that was directly proportional to neurological disability. Furthermore, our results can help to explain why NMO patients trend to be more refractory to corticoid treatment.

ABSTRACT: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of stress-related dose of dopamine (DA) on the in vitro proliferation and cytokine production in polyclonally-activated T cells from healthy individuals or individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Our results demonstrated that cell cultures from GAD group proliferated less following T cell activation, as compared with control group. The addition of DA reduced the proliferative response in cell cultures from healthy but not from GAD individuals. The cytokine profile in GAD individuals revealed Th1 and Th2 deficiencies associated with a dominant Th17 phenotype, which was enhanced by DA. A similar DA-induced immunomodulation was also observed in PPD-activated cell cultures from GAD individuals. Unlike the control, DA-enhanced Th17 cytokine production in GAD individuals was not affected by glucocorticoid. In conclusion, our results show that the T cell functional dysregulation in GAD individuals is significantly amplified by DA. These immune abnormalities can have impact in increasing the susceptibility of individuals with anxiety disorders to infectious diseases and inflammatory/autoimmune disorders.
Article: Substance P Enhances Th17 Phenotype in Individuals with Generalized Anxiety Disorder: an Event Resistant to Glucocorticoid Inhibition[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of stress-related dose of substance P (SP) on the in vitro proliferation and cytokine production in polyclonally activated T cells from healthy individuals or individuals with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). Our results demonstrated that cell cultures from GAD group proliferated less following T cell activation, as compared with control group. The addition of SP enhanced, while the glucocorticoid (GC) reduced, the proliferative response in activated cell cultures from healthy but not from GAD individuals. The cytokine profile in GAD individuals revealed Th1 and Th2 deficiencies were associated with dominate Th17 phenotype which was enhanced by SP. Differently from control, the production of Th17 cytokines in GAD individuals was not affected by GC. In conclusion, our results show that complex T cell functional dysregulation in GAD individuals is significantly amplified by SP. These immune abnormalities can have impact in increasing the susceptibility to infectious diseases and inflammatory/autoimmune disorders in anxious individuals.

ABSTRACT: The generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is often a debilitating chronic condition, characterized by long-lasting anxiety that is not focused on any object or situation. Besides being clearly linked to increased susceptibility to infectious diseases, anxiety is also known to contribute to the pathogenesis of many inflammatory/autoimmune disorders. The present work aimed to explore the T cell profile following in vitro activation in cultures obtained from a group of individuals with GAD, comparing them with healthy control individuals. Our results demonstrated that cell cultures from GAD group proliferated less following T cell activation as compared with the control group. The analysis of the cytokine profile revealed Th1 and Th2 cytokine deficiencies in the anxious group, as compared with the control subjects. On the other hand, this cellular and humoral immune damage was followed by enhanced production of Th17-derived cytokines. In particular, the levels of TNF-α and IL-17 were significantly higher in cell cultures containing activated T cells from GAD individuals. Therefore, besides a deficiency on Th1 phenotype, an elevated proinflammatory status of these individuals might be related to both glucocorticoid immune resistance and lower IL-10 levels produced by activated T cells. In conclusion, our results demonstrated a T cell functional dysregulation in individuals with GAD, and can help to explain the mechanisms of immune impairment in these subjects and their relationship with increased susceptibility to infections and autoimmune diseases.

Today is International Jazz Day! When Louis Armstrong was asked what the definition of jazz was, he famously replied "If you've got to ask, you'll never know." Today is a worldwide day of celebration of jazz and its unique history.
The official birthplace of jazz is New Orleans, although some say it began in Chicago or Kansas City. Jazz music combines traditional African American and European music styles. As jazz music caught on worldwide, it took hints from many different national and regional cultures to become what it is today. There are dozens of jazz genres including bebop, Dixieland, Latin, ragtime, soul, and swing.
International Jazz Day was created in 1991 by musician D. Michael Denny at which time a statement was recorded by the U.S. Congressional Record to officially recognize this day. To enjoy International Jazz Day, sit back, relax, and listen to your favorite jazz tunes!

Are wine lists like gardens? If you really care about them, yes. There's the list at Manny's steakhouse, which is kind of like nothing but prize-winning super dahlias and hybrid roses the size of your head, the one garden you'd want to go to if you were taking pictures to surprise the folks back home. There's the list at the Modern, which is like a small cottage garden seen in glorious bloom: Every plant in it has been picked by the deep love of the gardener, according to the strength of the individual plant. There's the endless lists at Fhima or Louis XIII, which are like going to the biggest garden center in the state: options both weak and strong stretch past the limits of the human eye. Then there's the Spanish glory of the list at Solera, which is like a comprehensive garden of a single flower, a rose garden, say. Would you ask a gardener to choose between all of these magical incarnations? You would? Rats. In that case, we're forced to pick the wine list on offer these days at Frost, which pulls off the neat trick of being both very, very big (around 900 choices) and very, very focused. How can that be? Well, let's consider their sparkling list. It's not just almost 60 bottles long, oh no. Those 50-plus bottles are just the start. In that list, you'll find the best French Champagne producers, and within those showcased, particularly excellent but lesser known, and thus lesser priced, vintners, like Egly-Ouriet and Nicolas Feuillatte. Second, it winnows our absolute favorite American sparkling producers, like Schramsberg, S. Anderson, and Roederer, presenting a number of vintage bottles that you'd never find anywhere else. It has a special section of half-bottles of bubbly, for couples wishing to kick things off in style before moving into the big red part of their meal, which is how many, many real wine drinkers drink. Finally, this sparkling list splits out a number of under-$40 choices (as it does in every wine category) serving the way people really drink wine at dinner--by excellence, mediated through price. We could deconstruct every section of this lengthy, and glorious, list just as completely: Be it California Cabernets, French northern Rhône, or Oregon Pinot Noirs, W. A. Frost's list is like a trip to a well-funded, well-loved botanic garden, one where you walk down a path and find individual garden after individual garden, each arranged on a theme, each stocked with so many blooms both stately and giddy that you are forced to freeze in your tracks and admire the magnificence. Hats off, then, to general manager Bob Crew, a genius with a wine list, and one hell of a gardener.

Nice to have a good quality room with enough space for a familiy with a kid. However, this does not excuse fully wrongly issued invoices (had parking & a lot of food on the invoice that we did not make any use of!). The quality of food in the restaurant is not really good. The floor in the bathroom is made of stone and extremely cold. Not sure whose great idea it was for a family hotel. The staff is friendly, but the way you can expect "friendliness" in Germany: kind of automatic & not really warm and welcoming... read hotel review

The rooms are nice and big and well furnished, large living room and adequate bedrooms. Everything you need; from a full kitchen to iron, washing machine and dryer. The first room i have changed since the exhaust air from the bathroom right above the bed - unfortunately it was very loud. The 2. room was alright. Unfortunately complaints at the reception not so seriously. The tv in the bedroom was broken - also at check-out. Breakfast was good - everything you need in an appropriate quality.

The two most valuable lessons I have learned thus far:
One, theory and practice are very different.
As a naive graduate student, I had all the confidence that I would know what to do when working with 'real' clients. After all, I had spent years studying which theories and interventions work best to alleviate the symptoms of most disorders. However, once I began working, I quickly realized that most clients are unresponsive to textbook interventions. This is, of course, when the real counseling begins.
Two, be concerned with acting ethically, not about being sued.
When I first started out, I was too concerned about being sued. I found myself worrying too much about how to protect myself from malpractice lawsuits — I was not being an effective counselor. Then a lawyer told me that I could be sued for any reason, but that does not mean the lawsuit has validity. He stressed that knowing and upholding the state rules and regulations that govern counseling licensure, (knowing) the ACA Code of Ethics and (knowing) how to navigate the conflicts between such rules and ethics codes was the best way to protect myself from a malpractice lawsuit. Today, I concern myself with acting in the best interest of the client, using the ethical decision-making guidelines within the boundaries of the law and, of course, documenting everything.
By Emily J. Parodi, MA, LPC, LMHC and Lori Petrozzello-Karn, MSW
October was Domestic Violence awareness month. When we think about domestic violence (DV) oftentimes we wonder, "Why do women stay in those relationships?" This question is similar to asking, "Why does a person stay at a job that they don't really like?" The list of reasons is endless, complicated, and very personal. We need to stop blaming the victim for staying in an abusive relationship. What we imply when we place blame on a women is the idea that the abuse would simply cease once the relationship is dissolved. Very often, however, the abuse does not stop and can even get worse when the victim tries to leave or does leave the relationship.
The cause for violence is directly due to the actions of the abuser. Domestic violence is defined as a pattern of coercive behaviors exerted by one intimate partner over another with the goal of establishing and maintaining power and control. Therefore, the more accurate question to ask is "Why do men (or people) batter?" This question holds the perpetrator of the crime responsible for his/her actions. Yes, domestic violence is a crime. People batter because they feel a need to exert control over their intimate partner. Thus, in order to end the abuse, the perpetrator must be held accountable.
Will insurance cover counseling?
Many insurance plans cover mental health services. However, if you do not have insurance other payment plans will be discussed.
Who delivers counseling services?
Psychological counseling is delivered by a licensed clinician and is a professional relationship. This relationship differs from other types of relationships. Rather than give specific advice, licensed counselors serve as skilled listeners who help identify goals, explore problems, and discover solutions.
Will anyone find out?
As a client, you are guaranteed that issues discussed will remain confidential within the boundaries of the client/counselor relationship. The limitation to confidentiality occurs when your life or someone else's life is in clear and imminent danger.
How long is each appointment?
Individual counseling sessions last approximately 50 minutes. Group counseling sessions may last 90 minutes.
What are your certifications?

Kenny Chesney won't tour in 2014 -- big mess averted
Those plans for how to clean up the Heinz Field parking lot during and after a Kenny Chesney concert ... they can be put on hold.
The country star, whose No Shoes Nation tour drew 49,042 to the stadium in June, recently told the Hollywood Reporter that he's taking a break from touring next summer:
"I love touring more than anyone in the world. ... It's weird to not be looking at next year's stage design, but I shouldn't make albums to service the tour. So I'm going to put the music first, dial it back and do the strangest thing in the world: not hit the road next summer."
This summer's concert drew controversy for the mounds of garbage fans left in the parking lot -- 50,000 to 60,000 pounds of trash, according to one estimate, including half-eaten food, bottles, cans, broken furniture, portable pools, and buckets and boxes that were used as toilets.
There were also a number of fights and arrests for public intoxication, fights and disorderly conduct.
Before members of the "Ban Kenny Chesney" Facebook page rejoice, they should know that it's possible that one of the many up-and-comers -- Eric Church, Jason Aldean, etc. -- or even an old-timer like George Strait could step in and fill that void.

My iPhone app has few settings that users is likely to change quite often. I would like to know if there's any suggested way of handling such settings (reading and saving them). On Apple sites I found only a tutorial about integrating your application settings with Settings app (link) but I don't want a user to exit my app so he could just change the option.
Is there any default mechanism to handle such settings in app itself or do I have to implement a solution of my own?

Hey, I'm Mazzy!
Friendly, smart, politically liberal/progressive, resourceful :) I love hosting people from all over the world, and know the Cambridge/Boston area well (for a native NY'er---I've been here since graduate school which was 20 yrs ago). You will find the environment here 'on the court' restful, peaceful and as my current guest from Australia put it, "I figured you were a healer of some sort-- because your home feels healing." Our place is relaxing and down to earth, with an artistic and colorful ambiance, and lots of sunlight.
My boy is pure enjoyment once he feels comfortable with a guest. My dog is one of the sweetest mutts ever (objectively speaking of course)!
If you happen to be taking the bus from NYC, WORLD WIDE BUS leaves you a 10 minute walk from our house.

Parasitic Nightmare by TheDragonofDoomWatch
©2012-2016 TheDragonofDoom
Since I was a child to present day my biggest fear is anything that is a parasite or bug inside the body. Few things freak me out, but just hearing about tapeworms makes me shudder. So for the Mama: Scared Stiff contest entry I used my fear to make this drawing. I would seriously die from fright if I woke up to this.
My site: rushelle.com/
Contact me at: email@example.com

Contact me at: firstname.lastname@example.com
looks very good the sading is great in my opinion, love the detail you put into on the scolex. Even when looking at it closely the detailing in still holds and looks almost like the real thing (I.E. the one coming out of the closet). There are only a few things on here that look like they could use some work one being the ceiling fan's blades the two pointing away from the girl almost look like their pointing towards the ground instead of being parallel to it the other is the man's right foot it looks bloated and only has three toes I don't know if this is supposed to be a side effect of the parasites or not but it does look like he has elephantitis. But still this a great drawing in my opinion I really like the originality of it all.
Good luck with the contest!
Good luck with the contest!
The Artist thought this was FAIR
3 out of 3 deviants thought this was fair.

As in that is you in the bed waking up?

We are a Publishing company which already has One title World Business Magazine being published for over one year. We are now Launching a Monthly Sports Magazine and wanted to inquire whether you would be interested in allowing us to use your content for our Print Publication. Kindly drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com so that we can talk further.
Miss your WWE articles :)
Hi George. You know what might make a good article? Why Cody Rhodes has not really been on alot recently. He wasn't even on Smackdown last night, but his on tv time as been dwindling since before last night too. Also, i just saw Will's message to you below, and have to agree with him about Santino. Sorry. His finishing move s an insult imo.
Followed :) [I'm @TheRamblingElf]
I'm very relieved to hear you are still writing for BR. Good luck with the moving. :0)
George where ya been? I haven't found a WWE article by you in a while.Am I not looking in the right place? If BR allows 19 year olds like Tyson Jones to write, you should definitely be writing lol. :0)
Thanks a lot for the comment about it!
I always feel a bit guilty posting links to my articles in comments sections because while I'm doing it to become a part of the discussion on the article, and because I think the writer might appreciate it, I always worry I will look like I am just whoring myself out. Glad you took it the right way :D
We agree too much on things for me not to be a fan. lol.

jack up the van rear wheels one at a time and see if it turns freely if not looks at parking break or redo the caliper slides with grease they could be sticking
I had the same problem it was low on Freon now after adding it is colder on both sides
I found that is right you need to change the flid & filter every 30,000 miles It is very easy for a do it your self project USE ONLY AFT+4 trany fluid cost 12.00 for filter and gasket and 25,00 for 5 qts of ATF+4 Add 3 qt then run car , check fluid, add if needed then run car for 10min recheck fluid add again if needed ps let fluid drain for 20min after you fulley remove the metel pan and gasket Filter just pulls down to get off no screws. If you do a lot of mountian driving change oil more often every 15,000 miles and add an oil cooler to the system
I also had this type fo problem. Replaced swaybar and bushing KEY here is to add a piece of ruber around bushings this helps secure them when you screw in the metel clamp to the car. sway bar end link, quick struts , control arms with ball joint and control arm bushings. STILL HAD A PROBLEM found the control arm bushings had play in them when you hold the tire at 3 & 9 oclock and shake. I added a1/16" shim 2"long that i made around the bolt that goes thru the control arm bushing , had to hammer it to get it in. That did the trick NO MORE NOISE Hope this helps
try disconnecting the battery cable for 10 min. then reconnect and see if this resets the lights could also be the fuse for inst cluster lights
I found That adding more fluid corrects this So I have it over the full line on resivoir. I had tried to clean the screen in the bottom of the PS resivor first did not help SO add a little at a time then see what happens when it stops making noise stop adding fluid. Over fill no more then 1/4 in over the full line. if you get that much in with out fixing it there seems to point to another problem in power sterring system
Mine cost $ 60.00for the part I have the automatic temp control the manual control only cost $20 It is real easy to replace , it is behind the glove box ALSO CHECK YOUR CABIN AIR FILTER IT IS below and to the driver side of the blower resister pack you will need to take off the cover on the bottom of the filter housing. this filter has a cut in in it half wayup the filter so you can install it you will see it when the old one comes out If this filter is not bad check the blower motor it could be going bad Something caused the blower resistor to go bad good luck
I have the same problem let me know if you find something firstname.lastname@example.com
I have the same intermit problem for over two year now it always starts after a few trys. Found it was the starter going bad. I replaced the starter that fixed it.
I had the same problem I reset the instrument cluster by holding in the trip reset untill it goes into a self test this fixed mine.
I have had a dodge also and both have a problem with the brakes causing the van to shake when the brakes a pushed at higher speeds. is there something I am doing is there anything that can be done to fix it.
I have several lights out on switches on the console. heated seat switchs are one any ideas on what could be wrong? where would I get a schematic for the lights on the console area? The back ground lights for the heated seat it shows the seat when its on the yellow lights light up on the switch. Also back ground light around the radio / heater / air are out so you can turn a switch far location of the fan and the yellow light moves but you can not see what you are
I try to start the engin by turnimg the key nothing happens sometimes this happens three or four times before it starts. this is intermitent

The Committee for Education Funding (CEF) is a coalition that was founded in 1969 with the goal of achieving adequate federal financial support for our nation's educational system. The coalition is voluntary, nonprofit and nonpartisan. CEF members include educational associations, institutions, agencies, and organizations whose interests range from preschool to postgraduate education in both public and private systems.
The purpose of CEF is to provide members of the general public and government officials with information enabling them to better assess the need for funding of federal education programs. CEF takes positions on federal education funding issues that represent a consensus of its membership and then communicates those positions to federal government officials and Members of Congress.
The Committee for Education Funding is managed by The Raben Group and is governed by the membership as a whole with a sixteen member Executive Committee, which includes three officers elected from among the membership. CEF publishes timely updates, holds weekly meetings of its membership, which provide a forum for information exchange and policy discussions, and sponsors seminars on current policy issues led by recognized experts. CEF provides information and assistance to Members of Congress and the Administration on education funding issues as well as holding numerous briefings and policy meetings with Congressional staff and Administration officials during the year. At its annual Gala, CEF honors outstanding advocates of federal education investment.
As the oldest and largest coalition of education associations in existence, the Committee for Education Funding provides a strong and unified voice in support of increasing federal education funding. We invite comments and inquiries regarding CEF membership or its publications.
- Noelle Ellerson, President (AASA, The School Superintendents Association)
- Makese Motley, Vice-President (American Association of State Colleges and Universities)
- Jacki Ball, Treasurer (National Association of Secondary School Principals)
- Kimberly Jones, Past President (Council for Opportunity in Education)
About the Committee for Education Funding
Founded in 1969, the Committee for Education Funding (CEF) and its 115 member organizations have worked toward the common goal of maximizing federal support for our nation's education system. Nonpartisan and nonprofit, CEF is America's oldest and largest education coalition, reflecting the broad spectrum of the education community.
Who are CEF's members?
The Committee's 115 members are educational institutions, agencies, associations, and other organizations, whose interests range from preschool to postgraduate education in both public and private systems.
What is the purpose of CEF?
The purpose of the Committee is to provide its members, the general public, the United States Congress, the Executive Branch, and the press with information in support of federal investments in education. The Committee takes positions on federal education funding issues that represent a consensus of its member organizations and communicates those positions to the Administration, Members of Congress, and the media.
What has CEF achieved?
CEF and its members have been very successful in championing the cause of increasing federal educational investment and fighting against harmful cuts to education programs. Through strong advocacy, grassroots efforts and effective communications we obtained $100 billion in ARRA funds for education in 2009; led the effort to enact a $10 billion education jobs fund and $5.7 billion to pay off the Pell grant shortfall in 2010; successfully fought off over $10 billion in education cuts included in HR 1 in 2011; helped prevent a doubling of the 3.4% student loan interest rate in 2012; and led the fight against the sequester cuts in 2013, leading to passage of the FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill that restored $1.5 billion for education programs, along with $1.5 billion in new investments for early childhood education.
What makes CEF unique?
As the largest coalition of education associations in existence, CEF provides a strong and unified voice in support of federal education funding. Because the Committee represents diverse segments of the education community, it has the ability to address educational investment concerns at all levels. CEF is the only coalition that represents education from PreK through graduate education.
Whom do I contact with questions?
CEF staff are experts on the budget and education funding and communication strategies. Please contact Joel Packer, Executive Director (email@example.com), Sunil Mansukhani (firstname.lastname@example.com), Anais Duran (firstname.lastname@example.com), Broderick Johnson (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Brenda Arredondo (firstname.lastname@example.com) at (202) 383-0083 with questions.

CEF 2014 Activities and Accomplishments
In 2014, the Committee for Education Funding was busy connecting members of the education community to Congress, communicating its message of the need for increased federal investment in education and fighting the sequester cuts.
CEF continued to increase our visibility and credibility with Congress and the Administration. We sent 16 letters, fact sheets and announcements to Congress and organized several NDD United coalition letters.
Legislative Conference and Gala

CEF's visibility and credibility with the media, both trade press and general media, continued to improve this year. As Executive Director, Joel was regularly quoted and turned to for background information and analysis by Education Daily, Education Week, Congressional Quarterly and Politico Morning Education. We were also quoted and/or mentioned in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher ED, Special Ed Connection, Politico, The Hill, Huffington Post, National Journal and Bloomberg News.
Social Media
Through our over 6,000 followers, we expanded the use of Twitter to both inform CEF members and reach out to the general public and other organizations/policy advocates. We used Twitter to provide real-time updates from House and Senate education hearings and mark-ups.
External Outreach
We continued our close relationships with the Coalition for Health Funding (CHF) and the Campaign to Invest in America's Workforce. Together with these two coalitions, we co-chaired NDD United, a coalition of coalitions, representing a broad spectrum of the domestic community to fight the sequester. We also worked closely with the Coalition for Human Needs and the Budget Coalition led by the Leadership Conference.

The Same Restaurant Twice
Seafood Palace
2523 Nicollet Ave., Mpls., (612) 874-7721
Hours: 11:30 a.m.-11:30 p.m. daily
Last October departing Village Voice art critic Peter Schjeldahl bid an admiring farewell to his weekly forum: "I'm fascinated by the column form in general. It is a rhetorical gizmo as compact and flexible as the sonnet or the sonata and a lot more supported by present-day culture. If journalism is history written by flashes of lightning, the column may be the literary equivalent of a roving flashlight." So I cut that out and stuck it to my computer monitor, and ever since I've pictured myself, week after week, poking my flashlight into some corner, reporting back on what I find, and moving on.
It's a pleasant way to live. I don't just find meals, I find history. I find darlings, I find weirdos, I find unimaginable stories, and sometimes I find stone-cold paradoxes. Case in point: Seafood Palace. If you had asked me what I thought of the place before I trained my flashlight on it, I would have said it was pretty great--an opinion I would have based entirely on quiet, nonreview meals over the years, usually a hot and sour soup and something off the specials board. Now, having probed and poked and prodded and put the kitchen through the paces, I can report authoritatively that Seafood Palace serves alternately truly wonderful and just plain terrible dishes, often at the same meal--and often their best offerings have nothing whatsoever to do with sea life.
On my first visit, a late, lazy weekend lunch, I brought a trio of friends and we began with a family-style serving of chicken velvet soup, a silky, mellow variation on egg drop soup made with sweet niblets of corn and little poached pieces of chicken. It was swell, especially at only $5.95 for four or five people.
I had brought a friend who flits around the globe from one fried chicken to the next like a monarch butterfly that skips the rose gardens to feast on milkweed at the roadside. So we ordered the special of Cantonese fried chicken ($7.75 half, $15 whole), and it was fantastic--really. Slices of on-the-bone chicken cut straight through and arranged sort of like a sliced loaf of bread arrived on a large platter covered with warm pink, white, and green shrimp chips (generally like Fritos, but made of a ground shrimp mixture instead of corn), accompanied by a little bowl of mixed salt and pepper to sprinkle on the chicken. It was tender, it was moist, it was crispy and a little sweet--if you have any interest whatsoever in fried chicken, add this one to your list. We were also thrilled with the lobster special ($14.95), in which the deep-fried, hacked-up crustacean was perfectly complemented by slices of whole ginger in the white ginger-scallion sauce.
Yet the same meal featured three dishes that were just wretched. String beans in black bean sauce ($5.75) were ice-cold in places, making me suspect they had been parboiled and then later cooked with the sauce; in any event they were wrinkled, squishy, and exhausted. Eggplant with garlic sauce ($6.95) was nearly inedible--goopy, bitter, and viscous, the taste and texture of a past-ripe vegetable. The hot and spicy shrimp ($10.95) had been cooked into tight, rubbery knots, and tossed with neatly trimmed vegetables that looked suspiciously well-manicured and tasted like they'd come from a frozen mix.
Overall, it was very strange. Restaurants usually don't hit only home runs or--what would be the opposite? At-bats where they catch the ball and walk off with it and refuse to play? While puzzling over this question, I enjoyed the bubble-gum-pink décor, the crabs frisking in the aquariums, and the etched-glass art of a smiling lobster serving up a bowl of crabs that adorns the nonsmoking room. I was more curious than usual to find out what the next visit would bring.
Be careful what you wish for--two weeks later saw a meal that was very nearly a complete disaster. Three plates arrived bearing either mealy shrimp or crab with the ammoniac reek that clearly warns of past-prime ocean life--causing a panic at the table that prevented anyone from enjoying any part of the meal. The rest of the dinner didn't make up for the seafood scare: Singapore mai fun noodles ($8.50) were greasy and underseasoned, and the beef with sha-cha sauce ($8.95) on a sizzling platter was bland as Steak-umms in gravy. The only decent dishes were sautéed watercress with chopped garlic, a nicely bitter bowl of greens ($7.25), and a special of baked fresh mushrooms served with lots of little heads of bok choy ($9.95)--very plain, but good.
It was with great trepidation that I returned to the restaurant a week later; yet this time, nearly everything was marvelous. Hot and sour soup was just as I remembered it, peppery and chewy, crammed full of good stuff--cabbage, mushrooms, fatty pork. Another wild-card pick off the regular menu struck gold: Salt-baked spicy pork chops ($9.50) turned out to be slices of pork in a salty batter cooked in a way that created a divine fried texture, but also integrated a smattering of moist minced garlic and was nearly oil-free--as popcorn shrimp are to shrimp, this was to pork, an unforgettable dish. Baby clams in black bean sauce ($10.95) were equally appealing, a giant heap of little steamers tossed with a garlic-laced sauce, each one tender as pudding. Orange-flavored beef ($8.95) was good, though nothing spectacular, slices of sweet and bitter orange zest nicely enlivening the beef in a brown sauce.
And so I took my leave of the first restaurant I've ever reviewed where I truly believe that two parties at adjacent tables could simultaneously have the most marvelous and the most disappointing meals possible, without a discernible pattern to guide them. As a diner and as a critic, I could do without this state of affairs. But as a general knockabout trying to make sense of the world, I find it delightfully illustrative of the human condition: You can never enter the same river twice. No two siblings grow up in the exact same family. No two lovers are in the exact same relationship. And now I've seen how it can happen in a restaurant, repeatedly, how two parties can simultaneously dine in a four-star and a no-star establishment. When your flashlight draws out the dimensions of such a very human, perfect, neatly anecdotal paradox, that's about all you can ask before you switch off and move on.
LUST FOR BRUNCH: Unbridled lust on the streets of St. Paul? Heavens to mergatroid! It's true, kids, there's tango--the dance of passion, lust, and neck-snapping elegance--once a month at the Zander Café. Owner Alexander Dixon explains that the event began when a customer, John Milton, suggested that Dixon serve a real paella, but Dixon objected that the giant Spanish dish made of Valencian rice, saffron, and various vegetables, meats and/or seafoods all cooked together needs to be eaten the moment it's done, not portioned out over the course of an evening. So they conceived of a paella brunch (which Milton helps cook), paired it with liberal pourings of Spanish and Portuguese wines, fired up the hi-fi, and invited some tango instructors. Next thing you know, they'd created an all-afternoon event that sounds as fun as watching the founding fathers of Cathedral Hill shoot fireworks out their noses--which is no doubt what they're doing, given that this is the fiery dance based on the power relations between prostitutes and lonely macho switchblade slingers in down-and-dirty Argentina. And how does tall, leggy Alexander Dixon manage? "Anything that requires knee-and-hip coordination is not really in my repertoire," admits Dixon, "But I'm okay when I feel inspired. I do like to tango and I do like to waltz--I go for those romantic, melodramatic dances." The event typically begins around 12:30 p.m., and dancing begins around 2:00, but "the tango just continues as long as people stick around to do it," Dixon says. "I usually don't kick people out. It tends to dwindle down to around four people, and we drink wine and tango until pretty late in the evening." A word to the wise: Dixon recommends designating a driver if you're going to dance till dusk. "People usually leave pretty rosy." The brunch costs $35 per person, tax, tip, and wine included.
The café now also hosts wine dinners one Monday each month; the next one is scheduled for June 21 and will feature a classic French menu paired with classic French wines. The dinner will include shellfish consommé with pike quenelles, oysters and champagne, roasted tarragon chicken with black truffles; Roederer Brut Champagne Brut Premiere, '97 Marc Brédif Vouvray, a Châteauneuf-du-Pape and 1997 La Doucette Pouilly Fumé. The dinner is priced at $55. To get on the invite list for either the Tango Paella Brunch or the wine dinners--or July's planned Cajun crawfish boil with a live zydeco band and dancing!--call the café (525 Selby Ave., St. Paul, (651) 222-5224) or send Dixon an e-mail message ([email protected]). Be sure to specify on the subject line that you're looking to tango, wine and dine, or zydeco; Dixon says he gets so much junk e-mail he just erases anything that looks like it could be a thinly veiled offer to MAKE $$$$$$ FAST!
HISTORY HI-JINX: Can you get your three-year-old to make you corn bread and red beans and rice? It's worth a try, anyway, so gather your tykes and bring them to the Minnesota History Center (345 Kellogg Blvd. W., St. Paul) on June 13 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., when the much-beloved Lucille Williams--matriarch of North Minneapolis's Lucille's Kitchen--will be leading a soul-food seminar. Lucky attendees ages three and up will make a three-ring recipe binder and fill it with authentic soul-food recipes. For more information, call the center at (800) 657-3773, or visit them on the Web at www.mnhs.org. Or, if your life involves palling around with a recalcitrant 30-year-old, trot them up to Lucille's, 2013 Plymouth Ave. North, (612) 529-3350, and tell them to figure it out for themselves. If they learn how to make fried okra and sweet potato pie like Lucille, all the better. And if they don't, make them pick up the check.

Echo panted as Shadoan got back into the ring. She quickly put up her fists as he began to rain blows upon her. She managed to block some of the punches but some managed to hit her arms and chest. She fought back with her own punches, often having her fist hit into his directly but she continued on none the less as sweat began to cover her body. She just swung with all she had but timed one of her punches wrong and ended up having Shadoan hit her right in the face. She fell out of the sparring area and panted on the ground for a bit before she looked up with a smile on her face.
Charlie just looked at the ground and kicked a rock, "
So, did I ever tell you about the time a bug killed my sister so I made sure to decapitate every single one I came across?

CoverGirl Fresh Complexion Under-Eye Concealer Reviews
decent concealerI have used this concealer before. For the price and what it does is ok. It's easy to blend, the color matches well. I wish it was more pigmented. I find myself having to layer this more than once. Other than that if you need something on a budget this will get you by. — 5 years, 6 months agosquarebear03 | 43 reviews
Throwing it away..This doesn't cover my dark undereye circles at all. It cakes into lines beneath my eyes, and disappears after a few hours, even if I set it with powder. — 6 years, 4 months agoidahogirl | 98 reviews
perfect!!This is WONDERFUL! I bought this because it was the only brand I found which could match my very light skin tone (classic ivory). I am simply in love with it...it blends so well that it's impossible to tell I'm wearing concealer at all, takes out any redness/imperfections on my face, doesn't shine, matches the color of my skin PERFECTLY...when I cover it with powder it lasts all day. Also the only...read more thing I have found to cover my under-eye circles...they just disappear. I can't praise this enough, it's the first makeup I put on every single day, and I wouldn't pick any luxury brand over this. It's just perfect. — 6 years, 4 months agoroseclouds | 14 reviews

eh...this was the first concealer i ever bought. it's covers decent but it doesn't really have any staying power. You know when it's getting old bc it starts to get really cakey. — 6 years, 7 months agouknowwho90 | 39 reviews
Did not work at allthis product did not work for me at all. it just added more makeup to my face and did nothing to conceal anything on my face. — 6 years, 8 months agoeap | 3 reviews
Truly disapointedGenerally I like CoverGirl, so I bought this thinking it would work... Im extremely fair skinned and this concealer didnt cover ANYTHING, — 6 years, 10 months agolkhINDY | 3 reviews
Just Ok, nothing spectacularThe top on mine broke too but then a lot of my stuff ends up breaking so I assumed it was just me. This concealer was just ok to me. It seemed like I would have the same results if I just used regular liquid foundation to cover blemishes and undereye circles. The coverage was very light, but at least since it was liquidy it didn't cake up. I will use up what I have (if the tape holds) but will not bother with it again. — 6 years, 11 months agoMarasy | 104 reviews

Creases like crazy!I'm 24 and by the end of the day this stuff makes it look like I have serious wrinkles! That's because it creases terribly and doesn't stay put at all. Also, it doesn't even have much coverage. Overall, it's pretty useless as a concealer. — 6 years, 12 months agoSquarah | 18 reviews
DONT EVER BUY THIS!!!ok so basically this is the 1st concealer I've tried and guess what? IT SUCKS! OMG i h8 it so much because A. The packaging is HORRIBLE (how dumb were they?) B. It Doesnt ive good COVERAGE (vry bad) C. ew it is supposed to be for oily skin but it rly makes my skin shinier! so DONT EVAH BUY DISS! — 6 years, 12 months agoilylikenotherx3 | 18 reviews

coverage too lightI regularly used maybelline but I tried covergirl concealer because I had a BOGO coupon for it. I was disappointed with this concealer...the coverage is very light and didn't cover my dark undereye circles at all. I managed to thicken it somewhat by blow drying into the bottle for a minute and then I left the cap off for a couple hours. It works okay as an undereye/blemish concealer for me now. I...read more wouldn't buy this again. This really deserves a lower score, but I managed to fix the problem, and when I bought it, I got a foundation I needed for free, so it will get 5 stars, which I consider a "neutral" score. — 7 years, 1 month agoMountaineer | 19 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
After talking about it and wondering should I or shouldn't I...
I just registered for my first Tri.
It'll be July 26th, .5m swim, 27.5m bike, 7m run, Heart o' Dixie Tri in Philadelphia, MS.
I've been riding for about a year or so and have fairly good distance and the run isn't that big of a deal but i'm scared to death of the swim.
I haven't swum (?) ever for a considerable distance. Aside from the obvious (getting wet) what should i work on so as not to embarass my self come the 26th?
