Thesis summary In the last decade, numerous single-species biofilm reactors of various configurations have been implemented at lab and pilot scale for the production of chemicals and biological products. Compared to their counterparts in submerged cultures, these processes benefit from the specific physiology of biofilms, i.e. high robustness of the microbial system, long-term activity, continuous implementation and low ratio size / productivity. However, the risks of biofouling and the lack of analytical tools for the control and the monitoring of biofilms are obstacles for scale-up strategies. Up to now, single-species biofilm reactors have been mainly confined to the production of metabolites ranging from low (bulk chemicals) to medium (fine chemicals) added values. In this way, there is a need to design efficient single-species biofilm reactors exhibiting good scalability potentials and intended for the production of high added value compounds. In this work, an experimental single-species biofilm reactor has been designed for the production of target molecules derived from metabolic pathways involved in biofilm physiology. On the basis of these criteria, three biological models having good abilities of biofilm formation and secretion performances were selected : - the gram positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis for the production of surfactin, a surface active metabolite involved in biofilm formation. - the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei for the production of hydrophobin (HFBII), a surface active protein (7kDa) involved in adhesion process of spores and mycelium on solid surface. - the filamentous fungus Aspergillus oryaze (engineered strain) for the production of a recombinant protein (Gla::GFP) under the control of the glaB promoter specifically activated in solid-state fermentation. The proposed experimental biofilm reactor has the configuration of a trickle-bed bioreactor. The agitation axis of a stirred tank reactor has been removed and replaced by a stainless steel structured packing filling the top of the vessel. The liquid medium, located in the bottom of the vessel is continuously recirculated on the packing element thanks to a peristaltic pump. An ascending air flow is performed above the liquid phase just under the packing element. This thesis reports the screening of the three biological models in the experimental biofilm reactor. The results include the characterization of process performances in terms of biofilm formation and secretion of the target molecule under different operating conditions. An original methodology based on high energy X-ray tomography has been developed to non-invasively visualize and quantify the biofilm colonization inside the packing element. This technique has highlighted that biofilm colonization and liquid phase distribution across the packing are strongly interrelated phenomena. The biofilm of B. subtilis occurring by cell aggregation preferentially developed on solid areas wetted by the liquid. Accordingly, optimal operating conditions improving liquid phase distribution have been defined for biofilm colonization. The fungal biofilm of A. oryzae and T. reesei occuring by cell filamentation equally colonize submerged and aerial surfaces of the packing element. Consequently, another configuration of biofilm reactor comprising a packing element totally immersed in the liquid medium has been investigated. The production yields of surfactin and hydrophobin in the experimental biofilm reactor are respectively 1.25 and 2.64 times greater than those of a submerged culture in a stirred tank reactor. This suggests that surface-active molecules involved in biofilm formation have a real interest for the design of single-species biofilm reactors. Although the Gla::GFP fusion protein is greater produced in the stirred tank culture, its integrity was preserved in the biofilm reactor despite the presence of proteases. This suggests that the quality and the stability of heterologous proteins produced in a fungal biofilm reactor are improved compared with a submerged culture. Finally, the implementation of the biofilm reactor has led to technological progresses including low energy consumption, no foam formation, continuous processing and simplification of downstream process operations. Further experiments should deepen the understanding of structured phenotypic heterogeneity impact on secretion performances in the biofilm reactor. These experiments should consider development of operating conditions allowing for the growth of a thin biofilm homogeneously distributed on the whole surface provided by the packing element in order to optimize nutrients and metabolites mass transfers. The scale-up and the continuous implementation of the process should be also investigated. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 100 (44 ULg)

Plants are able to synthesise and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) aboveground (leaves, stems, flowers and fruits) and belowground (roots). Once emitted, these molecules are key mediators in biotic interactions as they can be perceived by plant neighbours (first trophic level) and are able to attract/repel organisms of the second (insect herbivores, plant parasitic nematodes) or the third trophic level (entomopathogenic nematodes, parasitoids, etc.). Although many laboratory and field experiments have focused on VOC-mediated plant-plant interactions aboveground, less is known regarding the roles played by root-emitted VOCs in between- and within-plant signalling. In this context, the main goals of this PhD thesis were to (1) identify and quantify the VOCs emitted by barley and chamomile roots and (2) study the influence of chamomile root volatiles on the growth (biomass production and allocation) and the root system architecture (RSA) of barley (interspecific model). Root-emitted VOCs were analysed without extracting the roots from the soil (in situ) using a three-step gas chromatography-mass spectrometry methodology. Plant-plant interaction bioassays were performed using an original experimental device allowing the controlled exposition of growing barley roots to the volatile compounds emitted by chamomile roots for 15 days. In order to speed up the RSA analysis of recipient barley plants, we developed an R package (archiDART) allowing (1) the batch processing of the raw data exported by Data Analysis of Root Tracings (DART) and root image analysis software tools supporting the Root System Markup Language (RSML) format, and (2) the automated computation of RSA traits. Our results showed that crushed barley roots produced mainly hexanal, (E)-hex-2-enal, (E)-non-2-enal and (E,Z)-nona-2,6-dienal. Three-day-old seminal roots were characterised by higher total and individual VOC concentrations compared with older phenological stages. Our experiments also showed that enzymatic activities were required for volatile production. For each developmental stage, the lipoxygenase (LOX) specificity was greater for linoleic acid than for α-linolenic acid. The greatest LOX activities using linoleic and α-linolenic acids as substrates were measured in 7- and 3-day-old roots, respectively. Although undamaged barley roots did not release detectable amounts of VOCs, the analysis of VOCs emitted by mechanically injured roots showed that (E)-non-2-enal (13.8 ± 4.9 ng/g dry wt/h) and (E,Z)-nona-2,6-dienal (4.7 ± 1.8 ng/g dry wt/h) were the only VOCs detected in the plant rhizosphere. Contrasting with these results, the undamaged roots of 61- to 78-day-old chamomile plantlets released mainly one trinorsesquiterpene (albene) and four tricyclic sesquiterpene hydrocarbons (silphinene, modheph-2-ene, α-isocomene and β-isocomene) associated with the Asteraceae family. For each sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, the emission rate was positively correlated with plant age. Based on these results, we performed plant-plant interaction bioassays to investigate the roles played by chamomile root volatiles on the growth and RSA of barley. After 15 days of exposure, plants exposed to the volatiles emitted by the soil and chamomile roots or by the soil alone (control) were morphologically similar. Although not statistically significant (P < 0.09), the leaf area and the total seminal root length were the only parameters that tended to be greater in plants that received the volatile compounds emitted by chamomile roots compared with control plantlets. All these results are discussed in the context of belowground chemical ecology. In addition, some improvements of the experimental devices developed in this research project are also suggested at the end of this PhD thesis. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 111 (22 ULg)

Northern hemisphere rockweeds (Fucus) are thought to have evolved in the North Pacific and then spread to the North Atlantic following the opening of the Bering Strait. They have dispersed and widely speciated in the North Atlantic and its tributary seas. Fucus distichus is likely near the ancestral member of this genus, and studies have shown that there are several species/subspecies in this complex (i.e. F. evanescens and F. gardneri). We used phylogenetic and haplotype analyses to test the phylogenetic relationships and biogeogra- phy of F. distichus. Our data and subsequent analyses demonstrate that, unlike previous studies that lacked samples from an extensive geographical area of the Arctic and Subarc- tic, there is a distinct Arctic haplotype that is the source of subspecies in both the North Pacific and North Atlantic. Fucus distichus occupies a low tide zone habitat, and in Arctic/ Subarctic regions it is adapted to the severe stress of sea ice coverage and disturbance dur- ing many months per year. We hypothesize that the very large geographic area of Arctic and Subarctic rocky shores available to this species during interglacials, supported by large Arctic/Subarctic fringe areas as well as unglaciated refugia during glacial cycles, provided a robust population and gene pool (described by the Thermogeographic Model). This gene pool dilutes that of the more fragmented and area-limited Temperate/Boreal area popula- tions when they are brought together during glacial cycles. We suggest that similar subspe- cies complexes for a variety of Arctic/Subarctic shore biota should be examined further in this context, rather than arbitrarily being split up into numerous species.

L'étude des idées compte parmi les exercices les plus fréquentés du discours critique en histoire des sciences humaines. Mais il semble que cette étude soit menée généralement en suivant une tradition du commentaire littéraire et philosophique antérieure aux apports théoriques et méthodologiques dus aux recherches sémio-linguistiques. Apports quant aux moyens (analyse microsémantique, médiations rhétoriques, marques énonciatives…), permettant de formuler des exigences épistémologiques supplémentaires (relatives au statut différentiel et structurel des concepts, au dédoublement des chaînes intertextuelles à suivre pour les concepts étudiés et pour les termes qui les expriment) à l'horizon d'une théorie de la connaissance qui ne compterait pas pour rien la fonction fondamentale de la transmission. Dans la présente intervention, on prendra pour cas d'étude la filiation conceptuelle du couple intensité vs extensité proposé par Claude Zilberberg à partir, notamment, des concepts intensif et extensif dus à Louis Hjelmslev, en cherchant à mettre en relief les questions et enjeux que les apports sémio-linguistiques permettent de formuler.

La régularité d'un signal en un point peut être caractérisée par son exposant de Hölder. Une description synthétique de la répartition des différents exposants de Hölder d'un signal est fournie par son spectre de singularités. Plusieurs méthodes basées sur la décomposition en ondelettes ont été proposées pour estimer le spectre de singularités d'un signal; elles reposent sur une caractérisation de l'exposant de Hölder par les coefficients d'ondelettes. Dans cet exposé, nous présentons une nouvelle méthode reposant sur des estimations de grandes déviations basées sur les coefficients d'ondelettes et montrons son efficacité sur plusieurs exemples déterministes ou non.

Malgré l'intérêt nutritionnel et économique de l'herbe dans la ration des vaches laitières, le pâturage est de plus en plus délaissé en raison notamment de l'automatisation de la traite et de l'extension de la taille des troupeaux. Une des raisons invoquées par les éleveurs pour cet abandon est leur manque de confiance par rapport aux quantités d'herbe réellement ingérées par les animaux et la crainte que ces apports inconstants se traduisent par des fluctuations de production laitière tant qualitative que quantitative. Or Decruyenaere et al. (2009, 2012) ont développé une méthode d'estimation de la matière sèche volontairement ingérée (MSVI) par analyse des bouses par spectrométrie dans le proche infra-rouge. Cette méthode présente l'avantage d'être non invasive, facile à mettre en œuvre sur le terrain et peu onéreuse. Le but de cette étude était donc d'évaluer l'utilisation de cette méthode dans un troupeau de vaches laitières traites par un robot mobile en pâture. Le troupeau (n=53) était divisé en 2 groupes dont le niveau de complémentation journalière était différent. Lors de la traite, le groupe 1 (GR1) recevait en moyenne 2,6 kg de concentrés/vache alors que le groupe 2 (GR2) en recevait 4,2 kg/vache. L'objectif était de vérifier l'impact du niveau de complémentation sur les résultats obtenus. Des prélèvements de fèces ont été faits une fois par mois sur 10 vaches (5 vaches par groupe) pendant 4 mois. Les spectres d'absorption dans le proche infra-rouge (NIR) ont été confrontés à des étalonnages NIR permettant l'estimation de la MSVI exprimée soit par rapport au poids vif (MSVI1), soit par rapport au poids métabolique (MSVI2). Ces estimations d'ingestion ont permis le calcul de la matière sèche journalière ingérée par vache (MSI1 et MSI2). Par ailleurs, les mesures d'herbe à l'entrée et à la sortie des parcelles pâturées ont été relevées ainsi que la densité du couvert herbacé pour évaluer la quantité d'herbe disponible. A ces valeurs de biomasses disponibles ont été additionnées des quantités de concentrés distribuées lors du passage des animaux au robot. Les valeurs moyennes de matière sèche ingérée (kg/vache/jour) pour le GR1 étaient de 15,20 ± 2,60 kg MS par la MSI1 et de 16,99 ± 1,80 kg MS pour la MSI2. Pour le GR2, la MSI1moyenne était de 20,20 ± 4,95 kg MS et la MSI2 moyenne de 21,95 ± 3,36 kg MS. L'estimation de la ration disponible par vache (kg MS herbe + kg MS concentrés) était de 17,25 ± 0,73 kg MS pour le GR1 et de 18,69 ±0,83 kg MS pour le GR2. Les valeurs obtenues par l'analyse NIR sont donc compatibles avec les quantités d'herbe et de concentrés disponibles. Les valeurs estimées par les 2 méthodes étaient hautement corrélées entre elles à part en période de faible ingestion (<10 kgMS). En ce cas la MSI2 semble donner des résultats plus fiables. En conclusion, l'analyse NIR des bouses apparaît une technique intéressante pour l'estimation de la quantité d'herbe ingérée au pâturage. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 25 (3 ULg)

Thanks to their biocompatibility and degradability properties, polyphosphates are appealing polymers for biomedical applications. In contrast to aliphatic polyesters, such as poly(ε-caprolactone) and poly(lactide), the pentavalency of the phosphorus atom allows the easy modification of the polyphosphate properties by simply adjusting the nature, the length and the functionality of the polyphosphate pendant groups. Macromolecular engineering of polyphosphoesters was applied to design well-defined architectures and functionalities adapted to drug nanocarriers. In a first approach, amphiphilic block copolymers are synthesized by organo-catalyzed ring-opening polymerization process for the synthesis of a range of PEO-b-polyphosphate bearing various pendant groups. Post-polymerization thiol-ene click reactions preformed on PEO-b-polyphosphate copolymers was also investigated to improve the hydrophobicity of the polyphosphate. The self-assembly of these PEO-b-polyphosphate copolymers into micelles was investigated, particularly, the effect of the nature of the polyphosphate pendant groups (i) on the micelles characteristics, (ii) on the encapsulation of a poorly soluble drug and (iii) on the drug release profile. The toxicity of the different amphiphilic block copolymers was also evaluated by live/dead cell viability assays. In a second approach, double hydrophilic copolymers based on polyphosphoesters have been used as templating agent for the synthesis of calcium carbonate particles. Indeed, the use of such microparticles is becoming more and more attractive in many fields especially for biomedical applications for which fine tuning of size, morphology and crystalline form of CaCO3 particles is crucial. Although some structuring compounds, like hyaluronic acid, give satisfying results, the control of the particle structure still has to be improved. To this end, we evaluated the CaCO3 structuring capacity of the well-defined double hydrophilic block copolymers composed of poly(ethylene oxide) and of a polyphosphoester segment with affinity for calcium like poly(phosphotriester)s bearing pendant carboxylic acids or poly(phosphodiester)s with a negatively charged oxygen atom on each repeating monomer unit.

Nowadays, the circulation of poor quality medicines is becoming an alarming worldwide phenomenon with serious public health and socio-economic concerns. The situation is particularly critical in developing countries where drug quality assurance and regulatory systems for drug manufacturing, importation, distribution and sales are weak. A sustained vigilance on poor quality medicines that regroup counterfeit/falsified, substandard and degraded medicines is therefore required to ensure patient safety and genuine medicines integrity. A case situation is illustrated including a strategic approach and analytical tools that were found useful to detect poor quality medicines, identify unknown components, and timely alerts for appropriate measures against the spread of those harmful products. Several suspected medicines randomly sampled in several strategic Rwandan areas were firstly check-controlled by means of visual inspection and then applying several analytical techniques from simple to more complex ones. The following medicines were studied: quinine sulfate tablets, artemisinin-based combination tablets, and artesunate powders for injection. Taking into account the pharmaceutical forms and the chemical characteristics, the following tests were applied: uniformity of mass, friability, disintegration, fluorescence, identification and assay. They were followed by more complex analytical techniques that allowed more comprehension of abnormal findings among which the presence of a wrong active pharmaceutical ingredient in quinine sulfate tablets which is mainly discussed in this paper to illustrate a strategic approach and various analytical tools that can be used in detecting and identifying unknown component in poor quality medicines.

To date, only a few studies have applied metagenomics to investigate the influence of different tillage regimes and types of crop residue management on soil microbial communities. These studies were conducted under specific climates on soils characterized by particular land-use histories. A very different ecological context is to be found in certain areas of Western Europe, such as central Belgium, whose loess-derived soils are among the most fertile in the world and have long been used for intensive agriculture. Specific objectives were to determine diversity levels and changes in microbial community composition under different combinations of tillage regime (conventional vs. reduced) and crop residue fate (residue removal R- vs. residues left R+ on the field). As reduced tillage results in two contrasting zones (the first centimeters of soil are mixed each year, while the soil below remains unperturbed), we chose to perform the analysis at two depths: 0 to 5 cm and 15 to 20 cm.

We report the results of the narrow-band photometry and imaging monitoring of comet C/2013 R1 (Lovejoy) with the robotic telescope TRAPPIST (La Silla observatory). We gathered around 400 images over 8 months pre- and post-perihelion between September 12, 2013 and July 6, 2014. We followed the evolution of the OH, NH, CN, C[SUB]3[/SUB], and C[SUB]2[/SUB] production rates computed with the Haser model, as well as the evolution of the dust production. All five gas species display an asymmetry about perihelion, since the rate of brightening is steeper than the rate of fading. The study of the coma morphology reveals gas and dust jets that indicate one or several active zone(s) on the nucleus. The dust, C[SUB]2[/SUB], and C[SUB]3[/SUB] morphologies present some similarities, while the CN morphology is different. OH and NH are enhanced in the tail direction. The study of the evolution of the comet activity shows that the OH, NH, and C[SUB]2[/SUB] production rate evolution with the heliocentric distance is correlated to the dust evolution. The CN and, to a lesser extent, the C[SUB]3[/SUB] do not display such a correlation with the dust. This evidence and the comparison with parent species production rates indicate that C[SUB]2[/SUB] and C[SUB]3[/SUB], on one hand, and OH and NH, on the other, could be - at least partially - released from organic - rich grains and icy grains. On the contrary, all evidences point to HCN being the main parent of CN in this comet. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 38 (10 ULg)

An ascent thruster was an integral part of the propulsion system of the mag-lev carriages used on a Nezu colony planet. When it seemed possible that Tuvok might be the only passenger left conscious in the oxygen-deprived Alixia, Neelix hastily tried to instruct the Vulcan in thruster operation. Neelix began his tutelage by insisting there was a minimum safe temperature for ascent thrusters, but was cut off before he could give any specifics. (VOY: "Rise")

DETROIT — Over the fierce protests of this city's elected leaders, the state of Michigan plans to send an emergency manager to repair the deeply troubled finances of Detroit, one of the largest cities ever to reach such a dire point or face such a level of oversight. "There is probably no city that is more financially challenged in the entire United States," Gov. Rick Snyder said Friday as he explained why he has deemed Detroit's woes too fundamental, too lasting and too large to be solved by the city itself.
"I look at today as a sad day, a day I wish had never happened in the history of Detroit, but also a day of optimism and promise," Snyder said.
He reiterated that Detroit, once among the most prosperous cities in the nation, "went from the top to the bottom over the last 50 years."
Snyder's call for an emergency manager, who would wield sweeping powers to reshape the city, underscored a long, troubling arc for Detroit. Once the cradle of the U.S. auto industry and the nation's fourth-largest city, it is now half the size of decades ago and has a public sector plagued by more than $14 billion in long-term liabilities and annual worries of cash shortfalls.
The notion set off a flurry of pointed and sometimes emotional reactions here, including an unavoidable racial and political component. Detroit is a mostly black city dominated by Democrats in a mostly white state where Republicans, including Snyder, control the capital.
At a time when many municipalities are struggling financially, five cities and three school districts in Michigan alone are already under supervision from a state-appointed emergency financial manager. But municipal finance experts noted that Detroit is on a different scale.
"Detroit is a huge and prominent American city, so anything that happens with Detroit will set a much bigger precedent," said Matt Fabian, a managing director at Municipal Market Advisors. "There isn't a lot of precedent with the state taking control of a city this size."
For decades, states have used a range of methods, including oversight boards and appointed receivers, to step in and stabilize cities that appeared headed toward bankruptcy or default. The methods — and the powers and roles of those charged with overseeing a troubled city — vary widely from state to state, as do opinions about whether they work. A financial control board helped New York City return from the edge of crisis in the 1970s, but such intense state involvement is more often needed in smaller cities.
For more than a year, Detroit leaders had raced to ward off an emergency manager. With a similar possibility looming last spring, officials entered into a legal deal that gave the state some oversight as Detroit tried to cut spending and staff members and collect more tax revenue.
It was not enough, said state officials, who re-examined the city's books in recent weeks and said they found a pattern of overly optimistic revenue estimates, poor and conflicting record-keeping and endless borrowing to make up for shortfalls.
"There have been many good people that have had many plans, many attempts to turn this around — they haven't worked," Snyder said Friday during a town hall meeting broadcast on local television, the start of a concerted state effort to sell the notion of an outside manager to city residents. "The way I view it, today is a day to call all hands on deck."
"Bring it on"
Although some Detroit residents here saw state intervention as one more public indication of a city crumbling, others hailed it as the first hopeful sign of real repair. The city's business leaders lauded the plan, noting that Detroit's private sector had experienced tangible signs of growth and reinvestment — from newly filled downtown offices to young entrepreneurs opening dress shops — even as the public sector had lagged.
"Bring it on," said Sandy Baruah, chairman of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce, of state management. "This sends a positive message to business that Detroit is fixing its problems."
But Detroit city officials, who have 10 days to seek reconsideration from the governor before a state board formally appoints a manager as early as this month, objected strenuously.
Under a much-debated state law, an appointed manager would ultimately hold powers to cut city spending, change contracts with labor unions, merge or eliminate city departments, urge the sale of city assets and even, if all else failed, recommend bankruptcy proceedings.
In an election year for mayor and the City Council, many candidates, incumbents and community leaders denounced the move as an affront to democracy and a state takeover, and called for legal action.
"For one individual to be able to wipe out the duties of our duly elected officials, that's more or less a dictatorship, and it's against everything that America is supposed to be about," said the Rev. Wendell Anthony, president of the local NAACP. "If you come into Detroit, you own Detroit. You own education. You own police and fire."
Mayor Dave Bing, who has not said whether he would seek re-election, was more tempered than most in his critique, suggesting that although he opposed an emergency manager, there might be a way for the state and city to work together.
"I will look at the impact of the governor's decision as well as other options, to determine my next course of action," he said.
Longtime contention
Michigan's emergency manager law — and the possibility that Detroit, the state's largest city, might be affected by it — has been a matter of contention for several years. After Snyder became governor in 2010, he and the Republican-held legislature approved changes to the state's two-decade-old law, giving such managers more wide-reaching powers, including the ability to drop union contracts with cities.
In November, voters rejected that new version of the law, but the legislature quickly passed a third version, which also allows relatively broad powers to change the terms of labor contracts and which will take effect this month.
But many in Detroit wonder whether any emergency manager, under any version of the law, will be enough to solve the city's woes, which are in some way a reflection of the city's own story.
Beyond the nagging budget questions and mounting debt is a place that grew along with the auto industry into a city of more than 1.8 million residents and 139 square miles, then shrunk decade after decade even as the city's boundaries and infrastructure did not. With a tax base of about 713,000 remaining residents, Detroiters complain of late buses, high crime and darkened street lights.

LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) -- Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander has agreed to a five-year contract covering 2015-19.
The 2011 AL MVP and Cy Young Award winner had been signed to a deal through 2014 that calls for him to earn $20 million in each of the next two seasons. He had set a deadline of Wednesday earlier this week for cutting off talks on a new agreement.
The deal announced Friday includes an option for 2020 that could become guaranteed.

DD is 3 and has trouble with regulation. Bedtime started being a mjaor issue a few months ago and we weren't able to get her to go to sleep until after 11 pm most nights. We were exhausted.
Another mom suggested Melatonin, and after a call to our ped, I reluctantly tried it- to great success! We do .5 mg of the liquid about 8, and she goes to sleep around 8:45.
For anyone else using it, how long have you used it? And do you use it every night?

Personal Description:
To my sister Marie who stands by me and never lets me lose my sense of humor through all of this.I love you Marie.
Personal Description:
I am 52 years old and had been pretty healthy all my life.On April 8th,2009, I was seen in my Doctors office,presenting with pretty much the same symptoms I had experienced off and on for more than 6 years.On that day my abdomen was swelled out like I was 6 months pregnant. I had a dull aching in my lower abdomen.My joint and muscle pain which had been diagnosed about 6 years ago(termed fibromyalgia)was flared up and I was exhausted.My Doctor was on vacation and his physicians assistant Karen was taking his appts.She asked me what the problem was and I replied jokingly,"Here I am again,pregnant but without a baby"She was very serious as she looked at my abdomen and with a grim look on her face asked me "Does ovarian cancer run in your family?"That's where my journey into Hell began.Ovarian cancer did not run in my family to the best of my knowledge,but I had a 6 year history of ovarian cysts that would come and go.The specialists I had seen didn't seem too concerned so I wasn't either. I had a uterine biopsy done 5 years ago,pap smears and gyn. exams and all were good. I didn't find out until after the fact that none of those detect o.c.I had a history of missing periods sometimes 10 months in a row.Two years ago my Doctor did a hormone panel and said it indicated that I was not in menopause yet and could offer me no more than,"oh well,that's just the way your body is.Before I knew it I was scheduled for a hysterectomy at St.Peter's Hospital in Albany, N.Y.When I met the surgeon he was very reassuring,he said he wasn't too concerned with o.c.,that it was probably endometriosis.I was told that I would have to have the large vertical incision just in case there was cancer.So on April 27th I had my surgery.There was cancer.It was in one of my ovaries and I had 4 spots the size of peas that had spread behind my bladder and in the back of the pelvic wall.The lymph nodes tested were negative.Within 6 weeks of surgery I began the first of 6 chemo. treatments each 3 weeks apart.I kept asking myself why this had happened. I found out after the fact that I had presented with 7 red flag warning signs of cancer for 2 years that had largely been ignored by my physician.They were ,changes in bowel habits,changes in bladder habits,high sed rate during routine bloodwork,backpain of unknown origin,absence of periods with normal hormone panel,feeling full after eating a small meal and abdominal bloating.Before I had my surgery my CA-125 was 240.After surgery it dropped to around 110 and then 70 and then 40 ,down to 30 and it has been staying there.This past week I've gone for my cat scan and I get the results this week.I must say that through all this,my decision to work closely with an Integrative doctor from the beginning has probably helped me more than I will ever fully realize.An Integrative Doctor works closely with your immune system and prescribes supplements.They also work with your mental and spiritual attitude.Along with chemo and conventional medicine,and Integrative medicine I have fared well with minimal side effects from chemo.My friends and family tell me I have never looked as good as I do now, even after just finishing chemo.I know I still have a long journey before me,but with the love and support of family, friends and the good people in this world,I will journey well. Anita Here is an update. I had a small reoccurance in March 2011, a grape size tumor on left side of large colon. Had surgery to remove it and then began a strict regime of immune boosting supplements again and continued with my mind body soul medicine. Getting more sleep and keeping work to a minimum. It is three years since my initial diagnosis and I am stronger than ever!My weight is staying around 150 lbs.I have tremendous energy and am still told I look great. So now I'll continue on my journey,God Bless. Anita This was updated Jan. 14,2012

Some would say that Flag Day, June 14, sort of marks the middle of the year: the 14th day of the sixth month of the 12 month dncealar. I'm sure if you use serious mathmatics and count out the actual dates, that would be wrong, but who cares? It's funner this way! Especially since it's it happens to be my favorite holiday! My mom used to count down to each other: "only four more shopping days until flag day!" and "do you have any special plans for flag day this year!?!?!"Needless to say, I chose Flag Day as what would later become my wedding anniversary!"Tis a silly day to celebrate otherwise!

Pakistani officials say up to nine al-Qaida-linked militants have been arrested in several raids in the southern city of Karachi.
Two Pakistani intelligence officials said those arrested in the Wednesday night raids included Ameer Muawiya -- a man they said was in charge of foreign al-Qaida militants operating in Pakistan's tribal regions near Afghanistan.
The officials said Thursday that U.S. communication intercepts played an important part in tracking down the suspects.
The two officials were speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
The raids follow a number of arrests of senior Afghan Taliban figures in Pakistan this month, including the group's No. 2 leader Mullah Abdul Ghani Baradar.

So, I'm thinking of taking the plunge and buying a cross bike (mountain bikes only for the past 7 years) to use for occasional commuting, bad weather training rides, trainer time in the coldest part of the winter and maybe an occasional cross race. Its a long story, but I can pick up a new 04 Cannondale CX basically at EP pricing. I don't have access to any other brands that make a cross bike with this kind of price break so I'm wondering about opinions on the Cannondale. Any riders out there care to share your experiences? Roadbikereview seems to say good things, but not a lot of comments really.
The 04 spec looks decent at the price point, especially the carbon fork, but I'm curious what folks think! So, talk to me............... Thanks.

"So when Bill got him -- I love Belichick, I love that defense, I love everything about the man -- but you can't make a turd out of something that he's not. He's a turd. When you're sitting there beside London Fletcher who has more tackles than God and has Pro Bowls, and you've got just two? And you start talking about $100 million in six years instead of seven? Are you kidding me?"
Sapp, a Super Bowl champion and seven-time Pro Bowler, was asked if he has ever spoken to Haynesworth.
"No, because normally I'm at Pro Bowls and Super Bowls," Sapp said. "You have to be on a certain level to be around. Bill Russell said it best. Champions like to hang around with other champions."
