The possibility of inactivating genes in Leptospira allows for the first time to envisage a study of their functions. For Borrelia, the observation that the potential invasivity of a strain is conferred by a single gene opens also a new field of investigation. In Yersinia, the study of chromosomal determinants and their comparison among the various pathogenic species has paved a new way to a better understanding of the mechanisms underlying the exceptional pathogenicity potential of Y. pestis.
One of the research pole of the unit is the study of spirochetes with a fundamental approach: genetics and interaction of spirochetes with their host and an applied approach: taxonomy, phylogeny and diagnostic. The other research pole concerns Yersinia species whose genome structure and degree of stability are investigated. Some virulence genes clustered on an unstable pathogenicity island are studied in these species. Molecular epidemiology is also a factor of interest for both spirochetes and Yersinia.
Spirochetes, agents of leptospirosis (anthropozoonosis), Lyme borreliosis (transmitted by ticks) and other spirochetosis are pathogenic bacteria which grow slowly. Demonstration of diversity of American and European strains of Borrelia burgdorferi, in concert with diverse symptomatology (dermatologic, neurologic and articular) has led to individualisation of new species
Penicillin binding proteins. (A. Brenot, D. Trott, I.Saint Girons, R. Zuerner).
Most eubacteria possess proteins, which bind covalently penicillin ("PBP").These PBP are anchored into the cytoplasmic membrane and participate to the terminal steps of peptidoglycan assembly, thus to the maintenance of cellular morphology. The b-lactams act as substrate analogs for transpeptidation and bind covalently active sites of PBPs. 6 penicillin binding proteins in L. interrogans have been shown to exist by a functional assay. The ponA and pbpB genes had been isolated. PonA and pbpB encode PBP1 and PBP3 respectively. The L. interrogans PBP1 andPBP3 proteins were synthesized in E. coli and were modified with ampicillin using a digoxygenin-ampicillin conjugate. These data show that both genes encode functional penicillin-binding proteins.
Restriction-modification enzymes in leptospires. (Brenot, A. Werts, C., Ottone, C, Sertour, Charon, N., Postic, D., Baranton, G, and Saint Girons I.).
Thanks to the results of titration of a leptobacteriophage, we showed evidence for a restriction-modification system in Leptospira. These results indicate the importance of the knowledge of the presence of restriction and modification enzymes for the choice of the receptor strain when assaying for genetic transfer.
Reverse genetics for saprophytic Leptospira: a non motile mutant. (M. Picardeau, A. Brenot, I. Saint Girons).
An essential tool for understanding the biology of bacteria is the ability to inactivate any gene at will. Targeted gene replacement is routine in many bacteria but has proved difficult for Leptospira. The availability of a L. biflexa-E. coli shuttle vector has solved many questions, in particular the functionality of a kanamycin resistance marker from a Gram-positive bacterium. However, allelic exchange required a further step, namely the enhancement of homologous recombination. We choose flaB (encoding flagellin) as a target gene and obtained a flaB: kanR mutant which is non motile, with an altered morphology and absence of a visible endoflagellum. These results demonstrate that FlaB is implicated in flagellum assembly and also show the feasibility of reverse genetics in saprophytic Leptospira. Two other genes, recA and metY have been inactivated, indicating that reverse genetics is now a bona fide tool for Leptospira. Experiments are under way to extend these results to pathogenic Leptospira.
Leptospira at the era of genomics: Identification of a toxin/antitoxin locus. (M. Picardeau, Shuangxi Ren (China), I. Saint Girons).
The total sequence of the two chromosomes (4500+350 kb) from Leptospira interrogans strain lai had been performed by the Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai (China). An early access to 100 kb of the sequence has allowed us to show the existence of a toxin-antitoxin locus with homologies to the pem/chp locus. The physiological role of this chromosomal toxin-antitoxin locus which is found in Gram-positive, Gram-negative, Archae and spirochetes bacteria is not clear. It had been suggested that it is part of an answer to environmental stimuli like the nutritional stress.
Toll-like receptors (TLRS) and Leptospiral LPS. (Werts,C., R. I. Tapping, J. C. Mathison, T-H Chuang, V. Kravchenko, I. Saint Girons, D. Haake, P.J. Godowski, F. Hayashi, A. Ozinsky, D. Underhill, C.J. Kirschning, H. Wagner, A. Aderem, P.S. Tobias, and R.J. Ulevitch).
Bacterial pathogens activate the host innate immune system via receptors, called "Toll-like" (TLRs) which recognize conserved microbial components, such as lipopolysacharide (LPS), bacterial DNA or peptidoglycan. We show that LPS from Leptospira activates macrophages via CD14 and TLR2. In contrast to LPS from Gram-negative bacteria, TLR4 is not involved in cellular responses initiated by Leptospiral LPS. These data provide a new basis for understanding the innate immune response during Leptospira infection. LPS from Leptospira constitutes a useful tool to study the cellular responses initiated by the TLRs.
National Reference Center (NRC) and WHO/FAO Collaborating Center (WHO/FAO CC) for Leptospires. (E. Fournié, N. Sertour, E. Bellenger, P. Bourhy, A. Duvaquier, D. Postic, G. Baranton).
See (after March 2002) the Leptospira National reference center:
Borrelia are, in Europe as in United States or in Asia responsible for Lyme disease. Informations are available on:
Predominance of Borrelia lusitaniae in Tunisia. (H. Younsi, D. Postic, G. Baranton).
Initiated by Tunisian colleagues, a study of Ixodes ricinus ticks infected by Borrelia has been performed. A high prevalence of infection (over 30% in both adults and nymphs) is reported in ticks (n = 490). Unexpectedly, both by PCR (60 out of 61 amplicons) and culture (15 out of 16 isolates), B. lusitaniae, a non pathogenic species rare in Europe, has been identified. However, one of the isolates has been identified as B. garinii, a species pathogenic for human. This represents the first bacteriological confirmation of the existence of the agent responsible for Lyme disease on the African continent.
Lateral transferts of small DNA fragments of Borrelia burgdorferi leading to a mosaïc ospC gene: hypothesis of a Gene Transfert Agent. (D. E. Dykhuizen, G. Baranton).
In collaboration with Dan Dykhuizen (Stony Brook, USA), we have shown that the ospC gene exhibits an unusual diversity due to a rare evolutional way: diversifying selection. It allows to develop a true "repertoire" of antigenic motifs. This repertoire is a way for the bacterium to escape the protective anti OspC antibodies elicited by potential hosts previously infected with a Borrelia strain. Since no restriction-modification system is encoded by the Borrelia genome, none of the usual genetic transfers is suitable to explain those mosaic ospC genes. An hypothesis is that a Borrelia plasmid should play a Gene Transfert Agent (GTA) role. GTAs are phages with such small heads that they cannot harbour the phage genome but instead small DNA fragments of bacterial origin: altruist phages.
ospC gene sequence allows to predict the evolution of Lyme disease in human. (G. Theodore, D. Dykhuizen, D. Postic, G. Baranton).
Also in collaboration with Dan Dykhuizen and his team, we showed that all Borrelia strains isolated from so called "invasive" (i.e. other than from early Erythema migrans) forms of Lyme disease belonged to a small subset of ospC gene clusters of sequences. Indeed only ten out of one hundred clusters (204 sequences in databanks) comprise the 36 sequences of all isolates from invasive Lyme disease due to any of the 3 pathogenic Borrelia species. Therefore, 36 other sequences from either ticks or Erythema migrans which also comprise these 10 clusters represent potentially invasive strains. Concerning most of the ticks isolates, even though belonging to human pathogenic Borrelia species, we hypothesize they are not infectious for human.
The Legionella genus comprises several species which live in natural or artficial (water supplies, climatisation towers) aquatic environments. Its medical importance is linked to one of these species: L. pneumophila which is associated to a pneumonary syndrom in immunocompromised human. It is known as Legionnaires disease.
Francisella tularensis, responsible for a zoonosis, is a very small bacterium infecting rodents and Leporids. It is the only bacterium able to pass through the intact skin. This caracteristic along with the 30% letality associated to the North American strains (subsp. tularensis) make them suitable as a biological weapon.
Laboratory of Legionella and Francisella. (C. Tram).
- Legionella. 66 waters samples have been analysed up to now (November the 30th)). The 66 corresponding isolates have been identified by both PCR (mip gene) and monoclonal antibodies.
- Francisella tularensis subsp. holartica. In 2001, 6 strains isolated from human tularemia (including 2 exceptional pulmonary clinical presentations) were confirmed and identified. 83 sera were also submitted to both WesternBlot and/or PCR. This year, the Maisons Alfort Lab whose staff has been trained in the Unit could apply our techniques to the veterinary strains.
The genus Yersinia is composed of 3 species pathogenic for humans: the enteropathogens Y. pseudotuberculosis and Y. enterocolitica, and the plague agent Y. pestis.
The main fields of activity of the Yersinia laboratory are:
- The characterization of a pathogenicity island whose presence confers to the host bacterium the ability to cause systemic infections in humans and to be lethal in mice.
- The molecular bases for the exceptional pathogenicity of Y. pestis. Sequencing of the genome of Y. pseudotuberculosis, a bacterium genetically almost identical to Y. pestis but of much lower pathogenicity, has been recently completed. A comparative genomics approach will now be undertaken, along with a comparative transcriptome analysis.
- The relations between Y. pestis and its insect vector, the flea.
- The physiopathology of Yersinia infection.
- The evolution of Y. pestis since its recent emergence from Y. pseudotuberculosis.
- The resistance of pathogenic Yersinia to antibiotics and the evaluation of new treatments.
- Public health (French Reference Center and WHO Collaborating Center for Yersinia).
The works published in 2001 dealt with:
1. Transferable plasmid-mediated resistance to streptomycin in a clinical isolate of Yersinia pestis. (Guiyoule A., G. Gerbaud, C. Buchrieser, M. Galimand, L. Rahalison, S. Chanteau, P. Courvalin and E. Carniel).
Plasmid-mediated high-level resistance to multiple antibiotics was reported in a clinical isolate of Yersinia pestis in Madagascar in 1997. We described a second Y. pestis strain with high-level resistance to streptomycin, isolated from a human case of bubonic plague in Madagascar. The resistance determinants were carried by a self-transferable plasmid that could conjugate at high frequencies to other Y. pestis isolates. The plasmid and the host bacterium were different from those previously associated with multiple-drug resistance, indicating that acquisition of resistance plasmids is occurring in this bacterial species. Emergence of resistance to streptomycin in Y. pestis represents a critical public health problem since this antibiotic is used as the first-line treatment against plague in many countries.
2. Silencing and reactivation of urease in Y. pestis. (Sebanne F., A. Devalckenaere, J. Foulon, E. Carniel and M. Simonet).
Yersinia pestis is a naturally non-ureolytic microorganism, while all other Yersinia species display a potent urease activity. We demonstrated that Y. pestis harbors a complete urease locus composed of three structural (ureABC) and four accessory (ureEFGD) genes. Absence of ureolytic activity is due to the presence of one additional G residue in a poly(G) stretch, which introduces a premature stop codon in ureD. The presence of the same additional G in eight other Y. pestis isolates indicates that this mutation is species specific. Spontaneous excision of the extra G occurs at a frequency of 10-4 to 10-5 and restores a ureolytic phenotype to Y. pestis. The virulence of two independent ureolytic clones of Y. pestis injected either intravenously, subcutaneously, or intragastrically did not differ from that of the parental strain in the mouse infection model. Coinfection experiments with an equal number of ureolytic and non-ureolytic bacteria did not evidence any difference in the ability of the two variants to multiply in vivo and to cause a lethal infection. Altogether our results demonstrate that variation of one extra G residue in ureD determines the ureolytic activity of Y. pestis but does not affect its virulence for mice or its ability to multiply and disseminate.
3. Identification and characterization of the hemophore-dependent heme acquisition system of Yersinia pestis. (Rossi M. S., J. D. Fetherston, S. Létoffé, E. Carniel, R. D. Perry and J.-M. Ghigo).
Yersinia pestis possesses a heme-protein acquisition system (Hmu) that allows it to utilize heme and heme-protein complexes as sole sources of iron. Analysis of the Y. pestis CO92 genomic sequence revealed a second heme-protein acquisition gene cluster sharing homology with the hemophore-dependent heme-acquisition system (Has system) of S. marcescens. This locus consisted of hasRyp receptor gene, hasAyp hemophore gene and genes encoding components of the HasAyp dedicated ABC-transporter factor (hasDEyp) as well as a TonB-homologue (hasByp). Using a reconstituted secretion system in E. coli, we showed that HasAyp is a secreted heme-binding protein and that expression of HasAyp is iron-regulated in E. coli. The use of a transcriptional reporter fusion showed that the hasRADEB promoter is Fur-regulated and has increased activity at 37°C. No contribution of the Has system in heme utilization was observed in either E. coli or Y. pestis under the conditions we tested. Previously it was shown that a deletion of the Hmu system had no effect on the virulence of Y. pestis in a mouse model of bubonic plague. An Hmu- Has- double mutant also retained full virulence in this model of infection.
4. Analysis of the NKT cells-containing inflammatory lesions induced by Yersinia pseudotuberculosis glycolipids. (Guinet F., C. Ronet, M. Mempel, M. Huerre, E. Carniel, and G. Gachelin).
Valpha14-expressing NKT (invNKT) cells are a population of non-conventional T lymphocytes (TL) that bridge mammalian innate and adaptive immunity. Their role in infectious diseases and inflammatory processes is still largely ununderstood. A previous report has shown that an acute granulomatous-like reaction can be elicited by sub-cutaneous injection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis glycolipids in mice, and that recruitment of invNKT cells at the injection site is instrumental in this process. The mouse response to enterobacterium Yersinia pseudotuberculosis glycolipids extracts during the first week post injection was investigated. The cellular reaction is an acute inflammatory infiltrate where TL are abundant from early times on. InvNKT cells are present in the lesions, detectable as early as day 1 post injection. They compose all of the Valpha14-expressing TL, although conventional T cells expressing non-Valpha14 chains can be detected. The reaction is strictly dependent on ester-linked fatty acids as mild alkaline treatment of the extract prior to injection results in the absence of analysable lesions. Thus, glycolipids from Yersinia induce inflammatory lesions comparable to those induced by mycobacterial glycolipids, in spite of the totally different cell wall composition in the two genera.
5. National Reference Laboratory and WHO Collaborating Center for Yersinia (L. Martin, F. Guinet, E. Carniel).
See the Yersinia National Reference Center web site
6. Sequencing of the Y. pseudotuberculosis genome. (V. Chenal, D. Dacheux and E. Carniel. E. Garcia, P. Chain).
Comparison of the genomes of Y. pestis (recently sequenced) and Y. pseudotuberculosis (a bacterium genetically closely related to Y. pestis but of much lower virulence) might be a highly useful tool for identifying genes responsible for the extraordinary pathogenicity of Y. pestis. Sequencing of the genome of Y. pseudotuberculosis has been undertaken and has been recently completed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (US), in collaboration with our laboratory. The comparative genomics phase has now started.

Looks like Senator Dianne Feinstein has stepped down [1] from her seat on the Military Construction Appropriations subcommittee, where she's spent the last six years as chairperson and ranking member.
While serving on that committee, which is tasked with reviewing and supervising federal military contracts, her hubby Richard Blum was making millions of dollars [2] on the same deals his wife was overseeing.
No statement or press release yet from Feinstein on why she quit, and the right-wing bloggers are going nutty for an investigation, perhaps to vindicate their champ, Dick Cheney, who made a pretty penny with Halliburton. What can we say: greed is a universal human ailment and war profiteering is certainly a non-partisan sport.

I have been having pre term contractions for 4 weeks. I am labeled with pre-term contractions at risk for pre-term labor. I have been taken off bedrest, put back on it, taken back off. Im lost. Today I hit my limit with my doctor. Last week I had the worst contractions of my life, back contractions. I went to L&D and was released by my doctor after an hour, with 15 contractions recorded. At my follow up appointment that week my doctor told me if I had more than 4 contractions during an hour it was serious and to come in or go see L&D. I mentioned that she had released me the prior week despite the fact I had 15 in an hour....she laughed at me. Saying she must have decided I was okay, note she never saw me while i was in L&D, they phoned her for release. Then she told me not to worry, that they would keep a close eye on me and that I and baby would be fine.
Well despite all that nonesense, they have been seeing me once a week for cervical exams to make sure I dont have any changes from the contractions. Today was my 4th appointment of this nature. I sat in the waiting room over an hour. Finally I get to go back. My doctor walks in, measures my belly. Asks how the contractions are, I tell her the same as always, they are intermittant but not gone and very painful. She then tells me she wont be checking my cervix because she thinks I am okay.....then she tells me I am to go back to normal schedule appointments. She was with me for maybe a minute total before running out the door.
What she based all this on is BEYOND me. I certainly dont feel okay. What happened to that close eye she promised a week ago?
Every time I go in there I feel like they ignore what I say. They lack empathy for the fact I am in constant pain not to mention the absolute terrror I feel 24-7 of delivering early. I had this same office with my son 4 years ago but the doctor was different, the doc I had with my son was AMAZING. But he left the practice. I went with them out of comfort. But now I am worried they are too over loaded with patients and short staffed.
Also, I have begged them for an ultra sound to check my baby. Especially after those steroid shots they gave me. I have not had an ultra sound since 25 weeks when they told me the gender. They refuse to give me one. And as I recall, with my son I had one AFTER the gender which was ROUTINE.
I called the other local OB office and they will take me even though I am 32 weeks Is it a bad choice to change so late?

Yesterday we were celebrating my Grandma's 94th birthday and somehow the fact that my son is whole was brought up, not by me. But I was asked why, since my side of the family is all circumcised, did I leave him intact. When I described my reasons and gave detailed information on my research my aunt told me to "Get a life".
I let it go because I do not want to fight with my aunt who has had a very tough life, but I am so angry and need to vent! Now I am going to meet her at church, should I say something about how I feel about that comment?

Elton John and Madonna end their feud with a slap up meal
Elton John managed to get Madonna to forgive him by buying her a slap up meal in France after he publicly branding her a 'c***'.
Speaking at the Hay Literary Festival, Greer appeared to criticise the fact that Furnish is listed on the birth certificates of the couple's two young children.
'I'd like to give Furnish a punch right on the earhole', says Sheila
And it's signed from little Angelo too. N'aw.
The couple have been sharing moments from their wedding on Instagram.
Elizabeth Hurley has turned to her famous friends in the aftermath of her split from Shane Warne after joking she is a 'f***ed up and neurotic' mess.
Sir Elton John and David Furnish will take the fight for equal marriage to London's streets this month after signing up as the faces of Pride in London.

On the verge of a new era with a new superintendent, the Lansing School District is turning to staff, students, parents, even community members, to gather the data and the facts about what's working and what's not.
A 41-question survey online called "Keys to Excellence for Your Schools" covers everything from communication to curriculum. It was created by the National Education Assocation, and geared especially toward staff who have their eyes and ears in the building.
For parents, it's a chance to air some gripes and to narrow the focus on what needs improvement.
The new superintendent, T.C. Wallace, will have access to the data immediately when he takes his position in July.
The survey will be available online at keysonline.org through May 25.
It's available in English and Spanish.

Don't toss that Sunday paper! Gather up yesterdays news and create this stylish Newspaper Planter. Not only do recycled newspaper projects help the environment, they're fun and easy to make, give, or keep for yourself!
- Hot glue gun
- Clear acrylic sealer
- A container (I used one that was for breadcrumbs)
- 1 spool of Newspaper yarn
- Take the container and turn it upside down and glue the newspaper around and around until you reach the top lip of container.
- Work in small section so the glue doesn't dry too quickly on you. Try to glue each wrap as close as you can to the row before as to not leave gaps. Feel free to embellish as well with beads and tassels and funky odds and ends!

There are comments that there are no instructions for making the newspaper yarn. I suppose they bought it, but my suggestion is to lay your newspaper flat (and include the Sunday comics in color) and start at one corner and roll it diagonally to the opposite corner....perhaps using a pencil or a straw as a guide (removing it quickly so that when the roll is complete it can be bent around a container. I hope this helps.

I love this. With newsprint now used with soy ink it's a lot less 'dirty' to make. I would come up with another way of making the yarn as in the U Tube video, way to arduous, I like simple and I'm going to give it a try.

The Journal Sentinel education reporters offer news and notes from their beat
Flu-related school closure
St. Mary Parish School in Hales Corners is closing due to a high number of students out with flu-like symptoms.
Parents of more than 30% of the school's students had called in by 8:30 a.m. Monday to report their children would not be attending class due to illness, St. Mary Principal Gina Brown said.
The school hopes to re-open on Thursday, but Brown will reassess that decision later in the week. "We're going to continue to have our parents call in on Wednesday if they have flu-like symptoms," she said.
Two more schools in the state have shut down due to influenza-like illnesses among their student bodies, according a log tracking closures on the state Department of Public Instruction's Pandemic Flu Web page.
East Junior High School in Wisconsin Rapids is slated to re-open Tuesday. Students at St. Peter's Catholic School in East Troy are off until Nov. 2.

My KDL Story: Anonymous Patrons
(Service Center Tribute Wall)
"Every one of these meant something to someone. It reflects their personalities,
what they think is important, who they are..."
If walls could talk, those that line the sorting area at KDL's Comstock Park Service Center would have many tales to tell: of love and longing, faith and family, humor and humility.
For more than a decade, collection services assistants have collected something besides materials to be distributed to branches. Items that are found inside books and other items become part of a quiet tribute to patrons. In fact, says staffer Nanette Jasperse, some who have worked at the Service Center for years and years still don't realize what the walls represent.
Hundreds of items used to mark places, or simply pressed between pages and forgotten, line the walls. There are knitted bookmarks, love letters written in colored marker and Bible study discussion notes. There are also sports ribbons, children's drawings, photographs, pressed flowers and airplane and bus tickets.
"Every one of these meant something to someone," Nanette says. "It reflects their personalities, what they think is important, who they are."
Nanette points out a hand-written note — likely from a young child, maybe whose parents had split up — that she calls "a real heart-breaker." It reads, in part, "Dear Mom... I love you very very very very very much... Every time I am with Dad I am thinking of you."
Staffer Mary Christensen has her own favorite, another hand-written note that is also from a young person, "Dean W.," to a teacher, Mr. Rauwerda:
"I saw this book at a garage sale and immediately thought of you because you mentioned it once in class," he writes. Dean ends his note with a compliment, saying his talks with the teacher "really helped me straighten some things out," and an apology "for any pain I've caused you or any disrespect I've shown you."
Nanette said she often wishes they could reunite found items — especially photographs — with those who left them behind. She once found someone's paycheck; that made it back to its owner, she said.
If you've inadvertently left something in a book that has been returned to KDL, we might have it on our wall. Rest assured, it's being well taken care of.

1D fans react to the news of Louis Tomlinson becoming a father
Fans reacted to the news of One Direction's member Louis Tomlinson and Briana Jungwirth.
Date: 2013-08-14 19:07:07 By: Cinthya Lara Via: starMedia
The One Direction member, Harry Styles, kissed another man in the lips, the A League of Their Own host, James Corden. Read for details.
Harry Styles left an impression during his visit to the "A League of Their Own" and surprised the viewers by kissing the show's host, James Corden in the lips!
The picture shows Harry sitting on the host's lap holding his face with both hands while locking lips. In the same show, another One Direction member, Niall Horan, showed a fake tattoo of James Corden on his butt chick.
The picture of Harry Styles kissing a guy may be just part of the boys' open minded sense of humor, but it appeared just in time after the singer dissed rumors of his bisexuality, and an alleged relationship with Louis Tomlinson.

God Thoughts from God's Word
One of the most powerful ways you can tap into and learn about God's love for you and your work is to meditate on verses from the Bible. Here are a few to get you started, but don't stop here. Find some more and write them on the Listening to God page!
You can use these God Thoughts in many ways: as meditations, as verses to remind you what God really thinks about you, as challenges to disempowering thoughts you may be having but are ready to let go of and replace… or all of the above.
Your only limit here is God's love and your imagination!
"Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father." –Matthew 5:16
"Consider this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each must do as already determined, without sadness or compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. Moreover, God is able to make every grace abundant for you, so that in all things, always having all you need, you may have an abundance for every good work." — 2 Corinthians 9:6-8
"For we are His handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live them." –Ephesians 2:10
"So then, my beloved, obedient as you have always been, not only when I am present but all the more now when I am absent, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. For God is the one who, for His good purpose, works in you both to desire and to work. Do everything without grumbling or questioning, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation among whom you shine like lights in the world." –Philippians 2:12-15
"We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing brothers loved by God, how you were chosen." –1 Thessalonians 1:2-4
"To this end, we always pray for you, that our God may make you worthy of His calling and powerfully bring to fulfillment every good purpose and every effort of faith." –2 Thessalonians 1:11-12
"We must consider how to rouse one another to love and good works." –Hebrews 10:24
"Over-work makes for restless sleep.
Over-talk shows you up as a fool." –Ecclesiastes 5:3 (TMB)
"Doom, rebel children!" God's Decree. "You make plans, but not Mine. You make deals, but not in My Spirit." –Isaiah 30:1-2 (TMB)
"God keeps His Word even when the whole world is lying through its teeth." –3:3 (TMB)
"God's various gifts are handed out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit. God's various ministries are carried out everywhere; but they all originate in God's Spirit God's various expressions of power are in action everywhere; but God Himself is behind it all. Each person is given something to do that shows Who God is: Everyone gets in on it, everyone benefits. All kinds of things are handed out by the Spirit, and to all kinds of people!" –1 Corinthians 12:4-10

JPMorgan Targets WaMu Funds (WSJ)
In a series of previously undisclosed letters sent to the FDIC, the nation's second-largest bank by assets warned it could seek billions in legal protection from the FDIC receivership that liquidated the Seattle-based thrift two years ago, people familiar with the situation said. To the FDIC, the J.P. Morgan letters amount to more than $6 billion in claims, which would dwarf the $1.88 billion J.P. Morgan paid the receiver in September 2008, according to people familiar with the situation.
Ken Fisher Dubs New Normal `Idiotic,' Sees `Great' Decade Ahead (Bloomberg)
The next decade will be as good for investors as the 1990s, said Ken Fisher, the billionaire chief executive officer of Fisher Investments Inc., dismissing notions that developed economies face below-average growth. Fisher said the concept of a "new normal" is "idiotic," pitting him against money managers including Mohamed El-Erian, the CEO of PIMCO. "We are chimpanzees with no memory," Fisher said at the Forbes Global CEO Conference in Sydney. "The next 10 years are going to be just as good as the 1990s. The problems in this current environment we think are so different, and so new and so unique. It's the same stupid old normal we've always had. We've got a great future."

Man Group Sees Pre-Tax Profit Down 55% (MarketWatch)
The UK hedge fund manager estimated that its fiscal first-half pretax profit fell 55% to $135 million due to lower management fees and higher one-off costs. The firm said funds under management at the end of September stood at $39.5 billion, compared to $38.5 billion at the end of June, as gains on investments and a boost from foreign exchange rates more than offset $600 million of net withdrawals during the period. "The last six months have seen further mixed macro signals across global economies and continued uncertainty in markets," said CEO Peter Clarke.

Genius Gets Its Own Reward (WSJ)
A honey-bee breeder, a jellyfish scholar, a stone carver and an Emmy-winning screenwriter were among 23 people awarded $500,000 "genius" grants Tuesday by the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. While most aren't well known outside their fields, this year's crop includes David Simon, the Baltimore author and screenwriter responsible for such popular shows as the Emmy-winning HBO television series "The Corner," as well as HBO dramas "The Wire" and "Treme."
HSBC Picks Boxer Turned Risk-Manager Gulliver as CEO (Bloomberg)
Gulliver, named chief executive officer last week, worked his way up over 30 years from treasury department roles in London and Asia, where he learned to manage funding, liquidity and interest-rate holdings. That training in risk helped him steer HSBC's traders through the Asian financial crisis of the 1990s and allowed the securities unit he oversees to survive the subprime bubble with smaller losses than competitors including Barclays Capital. "You should not expect a significant change," Gulliver, 51, told reporters on a conference call last week. "It's important to take away from this that the processes that Mike has started and Stephen has started I will continue." Staying still may not be enough. Gulliver, a boxer at Oxford University, faces calls from investors to boost revenue from Asia, where it lags behind competitor Standard Chartered Plc.

Charlie Gasparino Thinks Barney Frank Is Making Excuses (NYP)
"Rep. Barney Frank & Co. are getting set for yet another hearing this week on the future of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the government-controlled mortgage lenders. Once again, they're not after the truth — they're looking to conceal it. The House Financial Services Committee chairman and his brethren on the left want you to believe they're making a good-faith effort to figure out what went wrong with Fannie and Freddie — what mistakes led to their failure and takeover by the government during the 2008 financial collapse, and how to fix both institutions for the future. In fact, what they'll deliver is more hot air from so-called "housing advocates" obscuring just how much Fannie and Freddie contributed to the housing bubble, the 2008 financial collapse and the Great Recession. It's all meant to give lawmakers an excuse not to do what's necessary and prudent — namely, kill Fannie and Freddie before they come back to do it all again."

ANAHEIM -- Despite rumors that the Angels were on the verge of acquiring Huston Street, it seems that talk was premature. Although the Angels have had discussions with the San Diego Padres about acquiring their closer, no deal was imminent as of 4 p.m. this afternoon.
Meanwhile, the Angels introduced first-round pick Sean Newcomb to the media. The Angels agreed to terms with Newcomb, the 15th overall pick in last month's draft, on a bonus of $2,518,400, which is about $43,000 more than the slot value for his pick.
Angels scouting director Ric Wilson said that Newcomb will report to the Arizona Rookie League to get indoctrinated into the routine of minor league baseball. He will likely pitch in a few games, and then head out to a full-season minor league team, most likely Burlington, Iowa, of the Midwest League.
In other Angels news, C.J. Wilson was back with the team after rehabbing his sprained ankle in Arizona before the All-Star break. Manager Mike Scioscia said his ankle was "still sore" and Wilson was walking gingerly. Scioscia said Wilson has not yet thrown off a mound, so it's too ealry to know how soon he'll be able to return to the rotation. He's not eligible until July 25.
Tonight at 7 the Angels will begin a three-game series against the Seattle Mariners, with Jered Weaver taking the mound against Seattle right-hander Hisashi Iwakuma.
Here are the lineups:
Kole Calhoun RF
Mike Trout CF
Josh Hamilton LF
Erick Aybar SS
Howie Kendrick 2B
David Freese 3B
C.J. Cron DH
Hank Conger C
Endy Chavez RF
James Jones CF
Robinson Cano 2B

Best Jukebox (2012)
3 Kings Tavern
Sure, you've got thousands of songs at your fingertips on those Internet jukeboxes, but the old-school CD jukes just feel like they've got soul — or at least character. When you're flipping through the pages of 3 Kings Tavern's Rock-Ola Legend, which seems like it's at least a few decades old, the selection process is much more tangible, whether you're hunting for AC/DC, Crüe, Stones, Skynyrd, Big Black, X's Live at the Whisky a Go-Go, or one of the stellar mix CDs. And since a stream of local acts plays at 3 Kings, it's not surprising that the juke is also stocked with a fair amount of the city's finest punk bands, including King Rat, Frontside Five and such dearly departed icons as Planes Mistaken for Stars.

'Tonight Show': Dave Chappelle Explains How Prince Used His Own Joke Against Him (Video)
What did Dave Chappelle think about having his Prince impression transformed into a real Prince album cover?
The comedian memorably explained on Friday to The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon what it's like being featured on the cover of Prince's Sept. 2013 single Breakfast Can Wait.
"That's a Prince judo move right there ... you make fun of Prince in a sketch and he'll just use you in his album cover," the comedian quipped. "What am I going to do — sue him for using a picture of me dressed up like him? ... That's checkmate right there."
VIDEO: THR's Comedy Actor Roundtable
The cover, seen below, is drawn from a sketch from Chappelle's Comedy Central series.
Chappelle, who recently re-emerged in the public spotlight to promote a series of shows at New York's Radio City Music Hall this month, is on a late night TV tour. On Tuesday, he appeared on the Late Show to explain to David Letterman his long absence from the comedy scene.

ST. GEORGES, N.L. - A research scientist in western Newfoundland says several dolphins could be beaching themselves because they're in distress.
Jack Lawson of the Fisheries Department says the animals have come ashore and become stranded in shallow water in Bay St. George's at least three times since the weekend.
Each time, they have been rescued by concerned citizens.
Lawson says repeated strandings usually indicate something is wrong.
He says the dolphins are evolved for cold water and can become heat stressed in shallow water, leading to a greater incidence of future strandings.

Dominick Macherone, a resident of Scotia who works with the New York State Chiefs of Police, spoke to how the post office helps to present the whole package of a community. Macherone also stated that there are other towns in the state that do not have the same services as Scotia.
"We have it all," he said, "a vibrant village with great parks and services, you have a complete package. There are so many different communities in this state that wish they had all the components like Scotia. The post office is an anchor. If it were to be lost it would damage the community. 12302, that's Scotia's zip code. It's our identity."
Schenectady County Legislature Susan Savage spoke early on in the meeting, "The Scotia post office provides a valuable service to the residents of the village, and helps to create a walk able community," she said in a statement. "It is so vitally important for the village post office to remain open, especially for our elderly residents. This branch has provided a valued and vital service to our older residents as well as those without transportation or who prefer not to drive."
Members of the Schenectady County Branch of the USPS said that they would take all comments into consideration in regards to the closing of the Scotia post office and other offices in the area.

Cross' Shortell finds redemption with state golf crown
HEBRON — Holy Cross High's last round of golf was wrought with drizzle and disappointment. The Crusaders' outing at Monday's CIAC Division III tournament was still soggy, but it was much more satisfying.
Led by Preston Shortell's tournament-best even-par 72, Cross surged up the leaderboard at Tallwood Country Club in Hebron and finished third of 20 teams.
"I'm very happy with the result," Crusaders coach John Egan said. "Anytime your guy is the medalist in the whole division with an even-par 72, and the rest of the guys shoot solid rounds, I'm pretty happy with that."
Holy Cross, the defending Division III champion, shot a 323 to pace all local teams. East Catholic won the title with a 311, and Tolland took second with a 320.
The strong performance came just days after the Naugatuck Valley League tournament championship slipped away from the Crusaders. Poor conditions last Thursday at the Watertown Golf Club combined with the disqualification of Shortell denied Holy Cross from adding
See CROSS, Page 6B
the tournament title to its league championship.
Though the weather wasn't much better Monday, Shortell was. The junior bested Tolland's Sean Benjamin by two strokes to become the tournament's medalist. Shortell's 72 came on the heels of his NVL DQ, which happened as a result of teeing off from the wrong box.
"I saw a kid bounce back from a very unfortunate situation, and our motto is that good things happen to good people," Egan said. "After his disqualification, he was on a mission to have a good outing. He focused on improving himself."
Matt Scelfo finished 18th with an 80 and Jordan Hickcox was right behind with an 81. Austin Smith tied for 50th with a 90 to complete the Crusaders' scorecard.
Egan said there was no disappointment about a third-place finish after winning the state championship a season ago. The Crusaders were seeded outside the top five and played from the second of three groups off the first tee.
"Your expectations aren't usually too high out of that second group, so for us to follow up with a third place is pretty good," Egan said. "On the front-nine we were doing decent with a 159, so I knew we were headed to a halfway decent score. (A 323) is a number I didn't think we'd shoot."
Woodland's Mike Erickson shot the second-best round of any local player with a 79, which tied him for 15th. The Hawks finished 14th with a 361, while Wolcott bested them by one spot after shooting a 356. Dan Catania shot an 84 and placed 27th to lead the Eagles.
Nonnewaug (16th), Kaynor Tech (18th) and Lewis Mills (19th) rounded out the local contingent.
Other area golfers among the top 50 included Nonnewaug's Edward Shaker (86, tied for 32nd), Lewis Mills' Tyler Goulet (86, tied for 32nd), Woodland's Ryan Warner (87, tied for 39th), Kaynor Tech's Marcus Frank (87, tied for 39th), Wolcott's Alex Ciccio (88, tied for 43rd), Lewis Mills' Jordan Gilbert (88, tied for 43rd) and Nonnewaug's Andrew Benjamin (90, tied for 50th).

The New York Knicks got a pleasant surprise from the play of Kristaps Porzingis this season, and their grade for the 2015-16 campaign reflects this.
The New York Knicks are a fun team to watch this year.
The New York Knicks haven't had many disappointments this season, but if there was a single player who stands out as one, it would be Kevin Seraphin.
Kristaps Porzingis is playing as well as any other rookie this season. His two-way prowess was evident on this series against Milwaukee on Sunday.
At the halfway point of the 2015-16 NBA season, Kristaps Porzingis is the most pleasant surprise for the New York Knicks.
Kristaps was about to throw the hands at Bazemore.
Posted by Bleacher Report on Tuesday, January 5, 2016
For New York Knicks fans, this is a welcomed sight to see -- not necessarily that Kristaps Porzingis was ready to brawl with Kent Bazemore, but that it was Carmelo Anthony who came to the rookie's defense. The relationship between those two guys will determine how far this team can go in the years to come.
New York Knicks guard Cleanthony Early was shot in the leg outside of a strip club late Tuesday night.
The greatest weakness that the Knicks must address is their uninspiring backcourt.
Lance Thomas has gone from a scarcely used, end-of-the-bench player to a vital component to the New York Knicks' success.
New York Knicks F Derrick Williams was robbed of some expensive jewelry, and there's a couple lessons we all can take from the situation.

J'ai essayé plusieurs couleurs au fil du temps et Olia est la seule teinture qui a su me donner exactement la teinte que je voulais. Je suis blonde tres clair et apres chaque coloration mes cheveux prennaient une teinte de jaune qui ne me plaisait pas beaucoup, je devais donc utiliser un shampooing bleu pour essayer de me debarrasser de ce jaune. Depuis que jutilise cette teinture je n'ai pas acheté un seul shampooing bleu et mes cheveux restent lustrés.
je teint mes cheveux noirs et c'est avec la teinture à domicile olia que j'ai réussie à avoir un beau résultat noir intense sans avoir la repousse bleue car j'ai beaucoup de cheveux blancs.
This product was not only a waste of money, but EXTREMELY frustrating!! I had heard a lot about this product and was excited to try it. My stylist went on mat leave, so I decided to go back to at-home colour until she came back. MAJOR MISTAKE!!!! I have long hair and always need 2 bottles. 2 bottles on my just past shoulder length hair didnt suffice!! Additionally, I have naturally auburn-med brown hair, so decided to go with light brown to ensure it didnt end up too dark. Again, MAJOR MISTAKE!! Light brown on medium hair ENDED UP ALMOST BLACK!
The mixing and bottle were frustrating! The bottle shape was awkward to use, and I ended up with colour spots on my ceiling..... CEILING!!!!! It splattered!! Over a year later, and 2 paint jobs, the spots are still there!! I have never had this amount of splatter with a product! Had I known in advance, there is absolutely no way I would risk it!!
The ABSOLUTE WORST PART was trying to wash the product out!! My hair was so dry, it was literally a rats nest! I BROKE A METAL COMB IN MY HAIR!!! Both tubes of rinse, 10 minutes of scrubbing, and combing while rinsing.. The colour was still rinsing out, and I was literally in tears trying to get the knots out!! It took half a bottle of colour-protect conditioner to stop the colour from running, and to be able to brush it! After rinsing the conditioner out, again I couldnt get a brush through my hair!! I applied argan oil, which I use for straightening, and although it helped, I still wasnt able to brush it until my hair was completely dry.
Even after several washes, the colour stayed dark! Ended up having to pay over $350 at the salon to have the damage caused by this product fixed! It chemically burned my hair!!!
There are HUNDREDS of home hair colour products, DONT RISK IT!!! DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT!!!!!!
I wasn't a huge fan of this after I tried it.
The bottle is super awkward to hold when you are applying it. I also didn't like that you had to add every thing to one bottle, because it was hard to get every drop out.
The application came out uneven and didn't dye my whole head, even though I applied two packages, my hair was still splotchy.
I'd rather purchase another brand, which is also significantly cheaper.
I had the opportunity to do a product test and review on Garnier's newest hair color product, Olia. I jumped at the opportunity because I had already used Olia once after seeing it at Target about 6 weeks ago. I wasn't impressed with the product then, but my opinion has since improved with this recent application.
I had my hair cut pretty short last week, so I applied Intense Red (6.60) mostly my own hair color. Any red hints are what was left of the first application of Garnier Olia.
I got into the shower and washed the product from my hair. I have been coloring my own hair for about 15 years. I am not a newbie. The first time I used this product, for about 4 days, I still had color bleeding in the shower. This time, I did not. I washed my hair as instructed and took a second shower later in the day. I only had a little bit of color bleed, which is easy to tell in your shampoo foam. This morning, my third shower, there was hardly any.
My only complaint about Garnier Olia was that the color stained the skin. My regular color is a Garnier product and this never happens with that product. It was so noticeable, my husband and son actually said something about it.
The results were FABULOUS!
This most recent use of Garnier Olia has changed my mind about it. I wasn't crazy about the product with the first usage, but this time was an improved experience. I have gotten many compliments on the color; many more than with my usual color.
Garnier Olia comes in 21 vibrant colors in shades of black, red, brown, and blonde. It's priced around $8.99.
Five days after I colored my hair, I still had bleed-through color on my towels. I'm not a fan of that.
I was excited to try this product, it was new and exciting from my usual routine. The bottle looks great, and the product distributed evenly. However, it was a bit messier than the heavy cream mixes and took some getting used to. The color was great though, and the smell was nice as well. I'll probably buy this again.
I tired the new Olia Dark burgundy. I love the colour! It gave my hair a purple tint in the sunlight. The colour itself was beautiful, goes on easy and makes your hair so soft! I love the concept here for healthier hair colour.
But I found since i coloured my hair two weeks ago the colour is still bleeding on my towels and i can see it in the water of my shower. Some of my old blonde pieces are peeking through the colour which sucks!
I use a lot of colour treated shampoos conditioners and sprays that this shouldn't happen.
Overall I love the colour and maybe if i go back to brown i will use this brand again but not for red hair that's for sure.
I have been dying my hair myself for years. I tried this one when it came out and hooked. I go the lightest blonde and it covers all my grey. Everyone always comments on my colour. I recommend this product. I grabbed a few while on sale and always have one on hand to touch up my hair!
I saw the adds and was excited to try it . I get my hair coloured at the salon but I do my roots between appointments to reduce my costs. Last summer my stylist took a bit of time off and I needed to colour my hair myself. I purchased this product and was very disappointed. It promises grey coverage but that is not the case. My tough grey were still there !. The package I purchased was missing the applicator bottle and I called the 1800 number and they sent me a coupon for a free box,so I gave it another try. This time I split it in 2 to just try it on my roots. Again the coverage was not there. My grey hair was still there ! I even left it on for an extra 10 minutes to see if that would improve the results. I was greatly disappointed. The price of the colour is also more than the other brands as it is the new kid on the block. If you are looking for grey coverage I would leave this one on the shelf.
when I saw the pub on Olia, I was pretty excited to try it. The colors looked wonderful and without ammoniac, I was hooked. But then I bought it, and I was so disapointed!! The color I chose was almost identical to the one I always buy in another brand, I'm used to color my hair in my home so I'm not a debutant, but Olia didn't stick at all!! I had spots without any color and it looked awful. I had to go buy the brand I'm used to only to repair de damage. Don't ever buy it!
