This view shows enzymes only for those organisms listed below, in the list of taxa known to possess the pathway. If an enzyme name is shown in bold, there is experimental evidence for this enzymatic activity.
Synonyms: toluene degradation via toluene-cis-diol
|Degradation/Utilization/Assimilation → Aromatic Compounds Degradation → Toluenes Degradation
Some taxa known to possess this pathway include : Pseudomonas putida F1
Expected Taxonomic Range: Proteobacteria
Toluene is widely used as an industrial additive and solvent. Toluene and related aromatic compounds can be degraded by bacteria, and have been studied in the metabolically versatile genus Pseudomonas and closely related genera. These studies have been directed toward bioremediation of environmental pollutants by metabolic engineering, and the development of syntrophic bacterial consortia (reviewed in [Diaz04]). Aerobic pathways of toluene degradation have been identified in various species that involve different initial monooxygenase, or hydroxylating dioxygenase reactions. Several of these pathways converge in the formation of 2,3-dihydroxytoluene (3-methylcatechol) [Shields91]. This compound is a substrate for ring cleavage enzymes, the products of which are metabolized via a common meta fission pathway, resulting in the formation of compounds of central metabolism (see this pathway and MetaCyc pathways toluene degradation to 2-oxopent-4-enoate (via 4-methylcatechol) and toluene degradation to 2-oxopent-4-enoate I (via o-cresol)).
The chromosome of Pseudomonas putida F1 contains a gene cluster encoding enzymes that allow this organism to grow on toluene and related compounds as sole carbon and energy source [Zylstra89, Menn91, Lau94]. Other strains of P. putida may contain plasmid-encoded genes for toluene degradation (see MetaCyc pathway toluene degradation to benzoate). The inducible toluene dioxygenase enzyme hydroxylates toluene to its dihydrodiol derivative by incorporating both atoms of an oxygen molecule into the aromatic nucleus. The dihydroxylated derivative is dehydrogenated to a catechol. Ring fission of the catechol 2,3-dihydroxytoluene (3-methylcatechol) is catalyzed by catechol 2,3-dioxygenase to produce cis,cis-2-hydroxy-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienoate. This compound is hydrolyzed to 2-oxopent-4-enoate, or its tautomeric dienol form cis-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate. This tautomerization occurs spontaneously in aqueous solution [Johnson04a]. It is not known which tautomeric form is produced by the hydrolase, and which form is used by the hydratase of P. putida F1 in this pathway. However, it has been suggested that the Pseudomonas putida mt-2 hydratase, encoded by the TOL plasmid pWW0, uses the dienol form as a substrate [Harayama89], and there is evidence that the Escherichia coli hydratase also uses the dienol form as substrate, producing a ketonized intermediate in the reaction mechanism [Pollard98]. The products of the pathway are pyruvate, which enters central metabolism, and acetaldehyde, which may be converted by acylating aldehyde dehydrogenase to acetyl-CoA, a central metabolite [Lau94].
Superpathways: superpathway of aromatic compound degradation via 2-oxopent-4-enoate, toluene degradation V (aerobic) (via toluene-cis-diol), superpathway of aerobic toluene degradation
Variants: 2,4-xylenol degradation to protocatechuate, 4-methylphenol degradation to protocatechuate, toluene degradation I (aerobic) (via o-cresol), toluene degradation II (aerobic) (via 4-methylcatechol), toluene degradation III (aerobic) (via p-cresol), toluene degradation IV (aerobic) (via catechol), toluene degradation to 2-oxopent-4-enoate (via 4-methylcatechol), toluene degradation to 2-oxopent-4-enoate I (via o-cresol), toluene degradation to 4-methylphenol, toluene degradation to benzoate, toluene degradation to benzoyl-CoA (anaerobic), toluene degradation VI (anaerobic)

will alcohol early in pregnancy affect the baby?
I'm about 7 weeks along and stopped about a week and a half ago.

Did you just stop because you found out you were pregnant? Or were you drinking and just decided that maybe you should stop? The way you phrase it sounds like you just decided to stop, but knew you were pregnant. Alcohol is very harmful. The first trimester a lot of neurological development occurs. My doctor told me the 1st month, the baby is pretty safe. You're in the 2nd month so, yes, fetal alcohol syndrome is a definite risk. Just do you're best to be healthy and don't drink anything else. It's one thing to drink and not know your pregnant, it's another to knowingly put your baby at risk. So I'm hoping you weren't aware!!posted 04/04/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
I drank liquor wine and beer almost every weekend at parties with cigarettes before knowing I was pregnant. Even on week days I drank some beer after work with my coworker before going home. I totally freaked out when I discovered my pregnancy however I stopped drinking right Away. Now my baby is 4 month old and he is so bright and cute that I haven't found any problem of him. So all I can say is that you should quit alcohol ASAP when you know you have got pregnant. Drinking at early statge won't hurt your baby. Just relax and don't worry about it too much your baby will turn out to be fine.posted 06/29/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes, alcohol during the early stages of pregancy can cause neurological problems for the fetus. It is also true that there are children who were exposed to alcohol in utero during the first weeks of pregnancy (before their mothers may even have known they were pregnant) who don't end up with problems from fetal alcohol syndrome. It can really depend on details like how much the mother drank, when and exactly what stage of neurological development the fetus was in when exposed to the alcohol. Avoiding alcohol throughout the rest of your pregnancy will help keep your child healthy.posted 04/05/2012 by anchoragite

As retailers continue to bounce back from a weakened economy, their No. 1 goal is bettering the consumer experience to keep them buying. Most industry experts agree that the convergence of kiosk, tablet and mobile technologies is key to making that happen. In fact, they predict it as the year's top trend.
Other trends for the coming year should include these two:
- The erosion of DVD-rental and airport check-in kiosks
- The increase of vending machine kiosks.
Technologies combined
Hamed Shahbazi, CEO of TIO Networks Corp., a multichannel expedited bill payment processor, said the trend to watch out for is all the new feature-rich, tablet-class devices that will enter the market this year and continue to drive consumer adoption.
"I think you'd be hard pressed to find something bigger than the rise of the tablet," he said. "The iPad is a game-changer in many ways."
Shahbazi expects 2011 to be a gold rush for app developers.
"I think it impacts everyone, including the kiosk industry, which will continue to have new access to low-cost, connected touch screen devices to embed in their solutions," he said.
Summit Research Associates president Francie Mendelsohn agreed, saying the best kiosk developers will find ways to leverage what people already have in their pockets.
"They are already factoring in iPhones and iPads," she said. "I don't think anybody could have predicted the success of the iPad, not even Apple."
Apple has already connected with the kiosk industry. New York's JFK and LaGuardia airports recently installed iPad-based kiosks to allow customers to place food orders, check flight details and play games.
And that's not all. Last week, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office made public Apple's patent, "Social Networking in Shopping Environments." It describes how in-store kiosks would allow customers to access a product list and information on their phones and then share those details through Apple's social-networking tool.
"Apple has nibbled around the kiosk space for a long time," Mendelsohn said. "I think it's smart."
Apple declined to comment for this story.
Other companies are sure to follow, according to Ron Bowers of kiosk manufacturer Frank Mayer & Associates, who said kiosks allow the retail industry to engage shoppers.
"It's about helping the consumer to do what the consumer wants to do," said Bower, who is a frequent blogger on KioskMarketplace.com. "We will see technology becoming about the user experience and even more customizable."
Although most experts predict a huge growth in the mobile industry, Bowers said it won't replace kiosks. Instead, the mobile and kiosk industries will work together.
"The cross-channel opportunity is a really important part of what we have to strive for," he said. "It's the conversion of all those technologies that will help us engage the consumer. They get a positive experience, and they want to engage again. That's what real loyalty is."
Bowers cites the loyalty-membership kiosks his firm designed for Giant Food Stores as an example. The kiosks act as check-in portals for customers entering the stores and allow them to access coupons and discounts based on personal profiles created from their buying history.
"It allows the retailer to have a closer relationship with the consumer that is personalized and convenient," Bowers said.
Shoppers can not only access their accounts via store kiosks but also online or on their mobile phones.
"The kiosk is the focal point as it coordinates with the overall consumer experience and has extra services that aid the consumer experience in-store," Bowers said.
The kiosks are even personalized enough to allow shoppers to print coupons, recipes, ingredients and nutrition information. They can also access a way-finder, place orders for cakes, party trays and pre-order items for later pick-up.
Bowers expects loyalty-membership kiosks to be a hot trend with retailers this year.
"It's all designed to create a positive, engaging experience for the customer in the retailer's store," he said. "The best experience is one that is seamless across channels, yet engaging while in the store."
Are kiosks an endangered species?
Kiosks will be coming and going throughout 2011, said Mendelsohn: "We've already begun seeing some erosion, and that will continue into 2011."
Those industry phase-outs include check-in machines at airports and DVD-rental kiosks.
"They both are reaching saturation," Mendelsohn said. "More and more people are loading boarding passes on their phones, so those kiosks won't be needed. And more people are renting movies through streaming."
Mendelsohn said companies such as Redbox are already looking for new uses for their machines and expects new deployments to decrease.
"Watch what happens there this year," she said. "They will be replacing existing units, and we'll see minor upgrades or tweaks. But there will be no radical surgeries."
No, they're on the rise
However, the kiosk industry is far from fading away, Mendelsohn said. In fact, the public is more accepting than ever of self-service machines.
"The days of people being scared to use them or thinking they're too complicated are pretty much gone, but some of the same issues will always be there," she said. "They have to be easy to use, they gotta be intuitive and they always gotta work."
As the usage of airport check-in and DVD kiosks slows, Mendelsohn expects other industries to increase the deployment of machines. For example, she predicts an increase in the number of vending kiosks selling small electronics, including iPods or Rosetta Stone language programs.
"Those (kiosks) are expensive, but they make sense in places like airports, where you already have a captive audience," she said. "The (language programs) are an expensive sale, and a kiosk lends itself to that beautifully because you can sample the lesson right there. It shows you exactly what you are buying and you don't need humans to stand there eight hours a day."

EVANS, GA--Bees are usually something you don't expect to see on a trip to your local home improvement store. But on Thursday night, our news cameras caught a swarm of bees swarming around a shopping cart at the new Home Depot in Evans on North Belair Road.
The manager tells us he's not really sure why the bees decided to camp out there but he did call in a bee expert to come in and take them away to a new home.
Nobody was stung or injured by the bees.

Dear Sarah Von/Blog Doctor,
I would like to know how to make my blog look better! I have zero web
design skills. I don't need anything too complicated, but I would like
my blog to be cuter! Are there any tips you can share, or maybe web designers or templates that are good for someone on a budget? Thanks!
Now, I cannot claim to be an expert – I'm a writer, not a designer. But 90% of everything you see on Yes and Yes (the layout, my calendar, my ecourse materials) has been my doing. Soooo, if you don't find those things eye-searingly ugly, you can take the following pieces of advice.Note, I cannot promise that these tips will make your blog capitol B Beautiful. But they will definitely make it way, way less 'homemade looking'
*Accompany each post with an image – preferably an awesome one
Nothing makes a blog post pop like an awesome photo. Where do you find 'em? I love weheartit and visualize. I embed the link to the original source in my photo. If that's not something you're 100% comfortable with, Kyla wrote this awesome post on photo sourcing ethics and shortcuts.
* Resize photos so they're the same width as your text column
Your awesome image doesn't look nearly as awesome when it's tiny and floating above a giant sea of text. Make your image the same width as your text column, forpetessake! You can do this by going into the html or by resizing them in Picnik.
* Full-justify your text column
I used to write for a newspaper so I am a diehard fan of full justification. That doesn't mean supporting every stance you take (though you totally should). That means that the edges of your text column is straight on both sides. If your text column is 'left justified' it'll be 'ragged' on the right side.
If you're using Blogger, the justification icon is the ninth in from the the right on your posting dashboard and looks like a bunch of lines. You want to choose the one that looks like a square box made up of lines.
* Find an an awesome template/theme
There's no excuse for using ready-made templates when there are approximately a million resources for free, fancy looking templates. Behold! Blogger templates, WordPress templates, Tumblr templates.
* Resize the buttons on your sidebar so they're all the same size
So you want to promote the blogs you love by adding their buttons to your sidebar. Aren't you sweet? But, if you've got ten different buttons of differing sizes, things can get a bit hodge-podgey. Resize the buttons in Picnik and you're good to go!
* Use social media icons that match the rest of your themeIf you're rocking a mono-chromatic blog, an orange RSS button or a blue Twitter bird can look a bit out of place. Never fear, there are 8 million different social media icons you can use! Or if you prefer, you can spell out the social media platforms and create your own buttons.
* Resist the urge to over-design
Chevron squiggles and textures and shadowed fonts, oh my! Once you discover the wonderful world of templates and photo editing it can be a slippery slope down to this. Resist the urge, my friends! You are stronger than the gif! Some of the most gorgeous blogs on the internet are also the most simple.
* Remove any of the following
(These are my personal design pet-peeves, so feel free to disregard if you feel I'm a Snotty So-and-so)
* Auto-playing music
* Pop-ups
* White font on a black background
* Anything that scrolls across the screen
* Blog posts with centered text* Use some of these awesome tools/platforms/websites
Picnik – edit photos, add text and stickers, all without signing up for anything or downloading anything
Scrapblog – themes, stickers and backgrounds for free or very cheap
Pugly Pixels – tons of free and cheap downloads
Gimp – like, Photoshop. But free. And not as good.
FotoMix – for collages and photo editing
Big Huge Labs – make mosaics, add 'Polaroid' or 'stamp' edges
Color Lovers – color trends and palettes
Now you! Share your favorite design shortcuts and tools!

When you publish a game based on a license as popular as Batman, you can always expect strong sales. When the game is as good as Batman: Arkham City, those sales can skyrocket. Today, news reaches us that the game has shipped 4.6 million units worldwide in its first week of availability. Holy hype, Batman!
It's worth noting that the number represents the number of copies sent to retailers, and doesn't represent the number of copies sold to consumers. Still, you can bet that Warner Bros. Interactive will be raking in the cash regardless, and that those sale numbers can't be too far behind.

Spicy Nevri/Karanji...!!!Author: Siddhi Shirsat // Category: Dry Snacks, Festival Dishes
Ganesh chaturthi is being celebrated in full swing in goa this days. People make different snacks and prasads for it.Ganesh is usauly for 1 n 1/2 day or 5 days in goa mostly. But some people keep for 7, 9 n 11, 21 days also. This year we had ganpati for 1 n 1/2 day. Below is a pic of my home ganesh.
This nevri/karanji is special snack for chaturthi. This are called nevris in konkani and karanji in marathi. Every home which celebrates ganesh chaturthi makes this nevris in goa. There are different types of nevris which are made here. Some of them can be stored for 15-20 days or some of them have to be consumed on the same day like puran nevri etc. Usually nevris are sweet. But always sweet is not good, we need soomething spicy for a change also. We make this spicy nevri every year. Its my moms recipe, almost everyone likes them.
For The Dough:
4 cups maida(all purpose flour)
1 cup rava(sooji)
1/2 cup rice flour
4 table spoon cornflour
2 table spoon fresh thick cream
safron food colour
For The Filling:
3 cups grated fresh coconut
1/2 cup poppy seeds(khaskhas)
1/2 cup sesame seeds(til)
3/4 cup cashew nuts small pieces
1/2 cup grinded sugar powder
1 tea spoon assafoetida(hing)
2-3 table spoon chilli powder
Ghee for frying
Dry the grated coconut in sun for 2 days or if not posible to dry microwave it until the moisture goes. This is required as this nevris can be stored for some days if the coconut is properly dried.
Dry roast the sesame and poppy seeds separately for 4-5 mins.
Now take a bowl and add the dried coconut. Add cashew nuts,roasted sesame seeds, roasted poppy seeds, sugar,salt and assafoetida. Mix well. Add chilli powder according to your taste and mix.Mixture is ready.
Soak the rava for some 2-3 hours in water.
Then take a bowl and add the maida. Mix soaked rava,cornflour,rice flour,cream, salt and hot ghee.Kned the dough well with the safron colour water . dough must become very soft. Kned it very well .The crispyness of the nevri is depended on hoe good you kned the dough.Keep the dough ball wrapped in a wet muslin cloth for 1-2 hours.
After that time, make small balls of that dough and roll small size thin rotis. Approx 5 inches in diameter. Take one roti and add the stuffing, atlest 2 table spoon on the center of the roti. Apply little water on the lower half edge of the roti.
Close the upper half of the roti on the lower half. Press the edges so that it gets sealed completely. you get special cutters to cut this edges. If you have it use it to shape the edge of the nevri. Repeat this process with the remaining nevris.Edges should not remain open or else the filling falls out while frying.
Heat ghee in a kadai.Deep fry this nevris as soon as they are made.Fry them till crisp. Remove them on paper so that oil is absorbed.
Let them cool for some time. Keep them in air-tight containers. They can be stored for 15-20 days.
NOTE:We make use of home made chilli powder which is made by grinding the local chillis of goa. If you use this chilli powder the nevris become tasty.
Cream, rice flour and corn flour is added to make the nevris more crispy.
Preparation Time:40 mins

Should we make our toddler eat meals at the table or let him graze?
My toddler has so much trouble sitting still that it's difficult to get him to eat even his favorite foods at the table. He would rather graze all day at his own pace while exploring, playing, and reading. Is this acceptable at this age or should we make him sit down to meals?

I know it's hard, but train them to sit down with the family and eat!!! We have to begin training our kids somewhere (and sometime), this is a good place. By not training them, I think kids believe that this is the way the world works (grazing). The bad manners, picky eating, etc. will cease later. The important thing is teaching them there is a time and place for everything. Additionally, some kids are allowed to have the 'full' feeling all of the time. This isn't healthy for them now, or as adults. I have grown friends who feel this need and have obesity problems. Make it easy on yourself and them, train them early with good eating habits!!posted 07/08/2005 by artmom.com
We also do a little of both. Our daughter is almost 3 and loves her food, but finds it hard to sit through a meal. We find that if we sort of ignore her and let her wander and come back for bites, she is drawn to our conversation and wants to join in. It showed me that the ritual is not just about food, you also have to talk about things and sometimes let them have something to do, like hold a favourite toy, or listen to a CD. My husband and I were married for a long time before having kids and found it hard to discipline ourselves, ha ha. We were so used to eating in front of the tv and helping ourselves from a pot on the stove and etc, so we had to retrain ourselves to sit down and eat. I still find it a pain sometimes, and thats why I dont mind if my daughter wanders a bit, since I understand the impulse. But I dont follow her around with food or encourage her to eat anywhere but at the table, because cleaning up is such a pain. Being at daycare has also taught her to sit with other people and enjoy a meal. Its all a journey--if she senses that something means a lot to me, she will fight me, but if I ignore it, she does what I want in the end!posted 10/09/2005 by noname6
Hannah, With all parenting, you need to make the choice about what's more important to you. Is it more important that your child eats well and comfortably? Well, let him graze all day. Is it more important that he is able to sit at the table at age 2? Then, try buckling him in. I believe that their personality will tell you what's right to do at the time you are making your choice. Also, consider that you have plenty of time when they are older to teach them their manners!posted 07/12/2004 by a BabyCenter Member
Interesting comments...my son just got out of this phase of wanting to play rather than sit still and eat. And I, too, would follow him around spooning food into his mouth, and he would eat, although I didn't like the message this was sending, so I stopped and started reinforcing the seat. He is a lightweight (10%ile), partly due to his activity. Now we all snack to a minimum (I'm also dietting) and eventually, when I start preparing his food and putting pieces on his booster seat tray, he points to his tray and verbalizes, letting me know he wants to eat. I assure him we'll eat soon and set him up in his seat. I have noticed that he eats better when I eat the same things right next to him. I feel this is an important skill in socialization and nutrition, and prefer to encourage sitting, over grazing and roaming. It will also help when eating in public, which we do often.posted 06/16/2004 by Gabriel Hope
I read an amazing article where toddlers need to graze! its extremely healthy for them. every health profesional will tell you that you should eat 8 small meals a day, not 2-3 bigs meals. Toddlers are learning and absorbing the world. I think it is important to let them graze! They are burning calories throughout the whole day! food is there energy. hope this helps! I teach my daughter i do not train her, however we do have a dog that we train.posted 01/24/2010 by littleleo3
Everyone sits at the table or highchair, together as a family(my husband works afternoons) or seperatly, and when it is time to eat everyone goes to there places, so when we go out to a restaurant, everyone knows what the table routine is and we don't have any diffculities(for the most part). But don't get me wrong at snack time the kids graze i do regret it but i just don't enforce the table and they seem to know the difference as to when it is mealtime and snack time.posted 09/04/2007 by 2blsed
Our 20 month daughter has a little table and chair where she likes to eat. I sit down with her and put her meal on the table. She takes a bite or two, then gets out of the chair, comes back and takes another bite. It takes alot longer for meals now that she is not strapped into a high chair. But she is learning that food is at the table. She doesn't walk around with it so it doesn't get all over the house.posted 10/14/2004 by merjill
I remember eating together as a family fondly. My husband's family did not have that routine, and we decided it was important for our entire family to eat not only at the table, but together. I don't enjoy cleaning up the crumbs, spit out food, dribbled juice/milk, etc. so I do not allow my child to eat away from the table. Even when my two girls (2, 3.5) don't want to eat, they can still sit and converse with us, watch us eating, and always join in after a few minutes. My doctor advised not allowing the constant grazing. Children should not be fed a snack for 2 hours before a meal. They need regular meals (and in between snacks) or they can develop the habit of eating from boredom. They need to eat until satisfied (which can really only happen when sitting for a few minutes) and then wait until hungry to eat again. Also, the danger of obesity can be a concern when children are allowed to walk around. There are several fruits and vegetables that are good "grazing" foods, but all of my friends who allow the grazing do so with cookies, chips and crackers which are loaded with sugar, salt and trans fats. When grazing the child cannot feel the natural full feeling.posted 06/21/2004 by emerelda
My daughter is 18 months and does the same thing. I know she hungry but she will eat a little and then she cries and throws her food. i know it just because she a very busy baby andd does not like to restrained at all. she cries when i change her or do her hair. its her independence coming through, shes a little person with her own agenda. as parents its our duty to do many things a child does not like all the time. but that does not mean you stop doing there hair or changing diapers because they dont like it. i dont think its a good idea to let them graze at all because as your kids get older they think grazing is ok and then it may be too klate to stop the habit. my friends daughter is 5 and she still wont sit in a chair to eat. also eating at a table is better for her because you know what a nd how much she ate. with my daughter i feed her 5 times during the day. she gets breafast snack and than lunch and then a snack and then another after she gets up. i feed her small little snacks this way we are both happy she stays in her highchair long enough for the snack and i know she is eating enough.posted 02/06/2005 by catienicky32
My daughter is 15 months and for about a month now she has been doing the same. She will eat breakfast and usually dinner without a problem but for the rest of the day she would rather graze on snacks. I just try to even out the food. Feed her the amount of suger per day she needs as well as vegtables. I also bought Enfagrow. Its a formula substatue in a way. If they are not eating as much as you would like them to then let them drink 2 cups of Enfagrow a day and it gives them the nutrients and protiens they need that they might not get from snacking all day. My daughter loves it and I reccomend it to any parent.posted 08/30/2005 by Chaosdevil

Airships vs. Trains
The airplane may have overtaken the zeppelin for some good and practical reasons, but do newer, better airships have a future? Former Scientific American editor John Rennie has been investigating this in a series of blog posts and stories for Txchnologist. One of the more surprising points he brings up: Airships might actually burn more fuel than trains that travel at a similar speed.

Students at a junior high school in Taichung were recently given a written test that included a question on the nationality of NBA star Jeremy Lin. A controversy, however, erupted when the school determined that "American" was the only correct answer. This prompted the city's Education Bureau to step in and instruct the school to accept both "American" and "Taiwanese" as correct.

I want to be there
To bad the cars are in the pic, but its still a sweet pic.
I think the cars give a good perspective to the size of the boulders.
Excellent shot, I can't wait to go back.
This is a cool photo. Great perspective with one of climbing's classic icons in the backdrop. Anyone who doesn't immediately recognize the Nautilus needs to go on a road trip to Wyoming now.
"...one of climbing's classic icons... Anyone who doesn't immediately recognize the Nautilus needs to go on a road trip to Wyoming now." Gimmie a break.

did you just get out of work or something? Is there a dress code?
'another day at the office'
I like the cloud circle above the boulder in the background
it would be a better shot if the climber was more than 6" off the ground
as a photographer that outcrop in the back is amazingly photogenic and beautiful. Even if i couldnt climb it, id want to photograph it.
haha, I will never worry about what to wear to go climb from now on. :-)
A true die hard
nice pic
nice pic
carlrocksalot--wide crack climbing does indeed demand a dress code. Shorts and a t-shirt don't cut it for saving your skin, plus the "summer-wear" only allows for one climb, then the blood makes the rock too slippery for purchase. This is a warm-down problem before dark. Just a guess, but only atpeace... and lightrack know for sure.

Hynes made a stop in Rockford Tuesday to talk about his plan to create jobs in the stateline.
The current state comptroller says he's working on a national manufacturing policy. One part of that policy is made in America tax credits. The credits would encourage companies to stay in the United States instead of taking business and jobs overseas. Hynes says more attention needs to be placed on our economy.
Hynes is hoping to fill the seat being vacated by republican Peter Fitzgerald.

A man armed with an assault rifle allegedly tried to escape law enforcement by driving off in a Colorado Department of Transportation plow.
When he couldn't find the keys, the suspect headed for a nearby home.
A bizarre scene--all caught on camera--unfolded over the next several minutes Wednesday afternoon near Lookout Mountain in Jefferson County. Minutes after the suspect walked into the house, a news helicopter caught an SUV plowing through a garage door, then driving through a field towards I-70. That escape attempt was thwarted too after the SUV got stuck in a ditch.
With cameras still rolling, the suspect climbed out of the stalled vehicle and walked to the interstate. He began pointing his weapon at drivers to get them to pull over, but no one would stop.
A young Jefferson County sheriff's deputy watching from his motorcycle knew he was outgunned, but also knew he had to jump in.
"Trying to get into another vehicle and hijack...couldn't let that happen," 22-year-old Fred Haggett said.
Haggett ordered the suspect to put the weapon down. The suspect set it on the side of the road. Arms up, he backed away slowly as the deputy approached with his gun pointed, then scrambled around a stopped car in one last attempt to get away. Haggett yanked the suspect's tank top and tackled him to the ground, ending the suspect's wild crime spree in the middle of the interstate.
A couple of drivers got out of their vehicles and helped the deputy restrain the suspect until he could be taken into custody.
The suspect has been identified as Chris Sullivan. Authorities say the scene that played out on I-70 was only part of a busy day of criminal activity for Sullivan and a juvenile accomplice. Prior to the attempt at stealing the CDOT vehicle, Sullivan allegedly stole two other vehicles and broke another home in the Lookout Mountain area. That homeowner was inside at the time, and told sister station KCNC that the suspect threatened him with the rifle.
By the time the suspect was facedown in the middle of I-70, law enforcement says he had stolen a total of three vehicles, burglarized two homes and menaced 12 bystanders. He is now being held on a $1 million bond and faces more than a dozen charges.

Students of Florida's Barfing Teacher Come Forward
Jim Burroway
August 31st, 2011
Equality Florida has published comments from students of Jerry Buell, a Lake County teacher and adviser for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes at Mount Dora High School, who was suspended two weeks ago over anti-gay remarks posted on his Facebook page. Buell returned to the classroom last week, but the controversy hasn't died down.
A growing number of students have come forward to describe Mr. Buell's homophobic behavior in the classroom. Brian Blaise, an honors student who graduated in 2003, described the day Mr. Buell offered his disturbing take on the issue of gays serving in the military:
"I looked up when he said he supported gays in the military, stunned by the answer. He immediately followed that comment with the statement that we should then put them on the front lines, and pull back," Blaise said.
Another of his students recounted Mr. Buell invoking the quote "A pig in a tuxedo is still a pig" to declare his disdain for recognizing gay relationships.
Equality Florida is asking supporters to email the Lake County School Board to demand they expand the district's anti-bullying and non-discrimination policies to include sexual orientation and gender identity.
Two weeks ago, Buell was suspended for a week after reportedly posting on Facebook, "'I'm watching the news, eating dinner, when the story about New York okaying same sex unions came on and I almost threw up." Since then, it was revealed that on Buell's web page hosted on the high school's web site, he wrote, "I try to teach and lead my students as if Lake Co. Schools had hired Jesus Christ himself." And on his syllabus, he wrote:
I am a man of God and I try to be like Jesus every day. I teach God's truth, I make very few compromises. If you believe you may have a problem with that, get your schedule changed, 'cause I ain't changing!
Buell's statement on his school-hosted web page was removed and he was ordered to remove the references comparing himself to Jesus from his syllabus.

Parallel CommentariesMatthew Henry's Concise Commentary
30:6-12 When things are well with us, we are very apt to think that they will always be so. When we see our mistake, it becomes us to think with shame upon our carnal security as our folly. If God hide his face, a good man is troubled, though no other calamity befal him. But if God, in wisdom and justice, turn from us, it will be the greatest folly if we turn from him. No; let us learn to pray in the dark. The sanctified spirit, which returns to God, shall praise him, shall be still praising him; but the services of God's house cannot be performed by the dust; it cannot praise him; there is none of that device or working in the grave, for it is the land of silence. We ask aright for life, when we do so that we may live to praise him. In due time God delivered the psalmist out of his troubles. Our tongue is our glory, and never more so than when employed in praising God. He would persevere to the end in praise, hoping that he should shortly be where this would be the everlasting work. But let all beware of carnal security. Neither outward prosperity, nor inward peace, here, are sure and lasting. The Lord, in his favour, has fixed the believer's safety firm as the deep-rooted mountains, but he must expect to meet with temptations and afflictions. When we grow careless, we fall into sin, the Lord hides his face, our comforts droop, and troubles assail us.
Pulpit Commentary
Verse 10. - Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me: Lord, be thou my Helper (comp. Psalm 54:4; Hebrews 13:6). Here the psalmist's prayer, uttered in his distress, ends, and he proceeds to declare the result.
Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy upon me,.... By lifting up the light of his countenance again upon him; by manifesting and applying his pardoning grace to him, and by delivering him out of all his afflictions;
Lord, be thou my helper; in this time of trouble; for he knew that vain was the help of man; and he was entirely in the right to betake himself to the Lord, who was able to help him, when none else could.

Talking Points: KFC's Double Down an abomination or winner?
Kentucky Fried Chicken's new Double Down sandwich is being hailed as yet another sign of American ingenuity, and as a new low in the junk food blight that's made obesity an epidemic
|Report an Error
Share via Email
LAURA VOZZELLA, Baltimore Sun: "Why didn't they call it the KFC Double Over?"
BRIAN MERCHANT , TreeHugger.com: "Whether people flock to order this particular food-thing doesn't matter. It raises KFC's profile as a place that bucks common values — somewhere where you can head if you're tired of caring about what you eat, and ingest the biggest, most fattening item imaginable, surrounded by peers who are in on the 'joke.' "
KIM CONTE , CafeMom.com: "All the attention given to really gross food monstrosities like the Double Down is causing us to be desensitized to the less offensive yet still unhealthy, obesity-causing fast food items. In effect, we're convincing ourselves that we are doing our bodies a favor by turning down the Double Down in favour of a bucket o' chicken and mashed potatoes slathered in gravy."
BILL BRADLEY , VanityFair.com: "Obama Convenes Historic Nuclear Pow-Wow While Ignoring the Real Threat: KFC."
JONATHAN BENDER , Pitch.com: "The Double Down is about portability, which is where KFC has placed the bulk of its innovation the past several years. You can't eat a chicken breast while driving, but you can probably manage a sandwich made of two boneless chicken breast filets. This comes after wraps and snackers and the repackaging of boneless tenders."
RAYNE MONDAY , FireDogLake.com: "Ugh, my arteries are screaming as I scan the collection of photos at PicFog taken by the gullible members of our species who chose to risk their futures and their wallets by purchasing and eating one of these things. It's with the same need for gruesome gore which drives us to seek out bloody horror movies that I'm drawn to view this train wreck."
SAM SIFTON , NYTimes.com: "Stunt food has been a part of restaurant life probably since the first time a chef put a napkin over a customer's head in order to serve him a whole, rare, roasted ortolan. There have been deep-fried candy bars, and General Tso's chicken heroes. There have been steaks so large that they're free if you can finish them. Some of these are redeemable in both their excess and flavour. The 'Double Down,' however, arrives at a new low."
JONATHAN KAUFFMAN , SFWeekly.com: "The worse we in the blue-state media declare the sandwich is, the better its reputation among the daredevils who are going to order the thing to prove, well, something."
MARK MORFORD , SFGate.com: "It's just capitalism at work. If they don't really want it — if, deep down, most humans sense this garbage is hugely unhealthy, that it's a form of slow poison and there are far better and wiser options out there — well, you do what companies like KFC, Coca-Cola, Kraft, McDonald's and all the rest have done since the dawn of the free market. You convince the less educated and the gullible that they are wrong, that this crap is actually a good value for your family, nutritious and safe to feed to children, even as you manufacture all the flavours, smells and meat-like textures in a giant lab and sell truckloads of the crap to the poorer classes, until they get fat and sick and die."
JETSETCD , Jaunted.com: "We see something powerful in this overpriced fast food item (it's $5.99 for one!). We see America... Even though Korean fried chicken tastes a thousand times better, no one can deny the patriotic appeal of fried chicken. Combine fried chicken with bacon, good old processed cheese, a dash of mystery (the 'Colonel's Sauce'), and the US' love of upsizing and transforming foods into the fattiest, tastiest concoctions possible, and you have a winner."

Arsenal is an interesting team to talk about this year. Now they have a consistent goalkeeper and are trying to piece together a whole team, and are doing everything in their power to compete this year. The full time keeper is looking like the big man from Poland, Wojciech Szczesny who started 15 games last year. He is relatively unproven but he has a bit of experience from last year. The attack is boasting a few new names and so too is the defense.
The main worry that a lot of folks have is that these new guys will not be able to handle the weight of succeeding in the Premier League. Arsenal's team is so young that you would be hard pressed to find a player that is over the age of 30. Some people consider that a good thing, but it may not be a good thing for this season. Too much youth on a team with this much weight on its shoulders may cause them to collapse. Andrei Arshavin, who is 30 years old, will be leading the team and trying to keep things held together from his midfield position. As he usually does we can expect to see him netting a few goals as well.
I am going to look at both sides of Arsenal's youth; they have so much raw talent and so much room to grow. Players like Gervinho (24), Carl Jenkinson (19), and Aaron Ramsey (20) will find themselves in starting positions and even though most of these players are unproven, their raw talent can get them far. Arsenal's attack is another strength of theirs and van Persie will be expected to score early and often in the League. Last year, van Persie scored 18 goals in 19 starts and with Gervinho as his wing man we can only expect more goals to be scored.
Andrei Arshavin is arguably one of the best in the Premier League and will hold a very large leadership role for the Gunners, not something he is not accustomed to however. Bacary Sagna will be the heart of a defense that features players like Thomas Vermaelen and Kieran Gibbs. Although he is a new player Wojciech Szczesney is looking like he will do a great job in England's top flight. He started 15 games last season and now that he is going to be taking the pitch full time he will be a lot more comfortable in the back. Szczesney has had a great offseason and has earned some good results for Poland this summer too.
Arsenal does have a few weak spots on their team. The defense is one of them, primarily because they cannot find a consistent back line. Bacary Sagna has excelled more often than not but the fact that Arsenal continues to mix and match their back line does not create an atmosphere for a good defense. Having an inconsistent defense that makes silly errors is the worst possible situation to put a brand new goalkeeper in to. Unless the back line shapes up quickly you will see Szczesney facing a lot of shots.
Youth as a whole, although already mentioned as being a strength, can still possibly be a weakness for the Gunners. If you look at teams like Manchester United and Chelsea you see players who have been with the club for an extended stay and have a decent amount of Premier League experience. But when you look at Arsenal, all you really see is a very young inexperienced batch of players mixed in with the likes of Theo Walcott and Robin van Persie. I still think this year is going to be more of a rebuilding year than anything for Arsenal, but they are a big name club and even a rebuilding year at the Emirates will probably warrant a top 4 finish.

LAS VEGAS, Nev -- The Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today it has obligated $1,587,555.12 in Public Assistance Program funds to reimburse state, county, local governments and certain non-profit organizations for losses suffered from the record and near record snow falls of December 29, 2004-January 2, 2005 and January 6-10, 2005.
December 29, 2004-January 2, 2005 Snow Emergency:
Nevada Department of Transportation: $602,351.78
City of Reno: $220,142.66
Washoe County School District: $72,178.46
January 6-10, 2005 Snow Emergency:
Nevada Department of Transportation, $692,882.22
"Under the emergency declarations, FEMA reimbursed state and local governmental agencies and critical nonprofits for 75 percent of the total eligible costs of equipment, contracts and personnel overtime related to emergency services in dealing with the snow over a 72-hour period," said Philip E. Parr, federal coordinating officer. "These are crucial hours when work crews clear snow from emergency routes and roads to critical facilities to permit the passage of emergency vehicles."
Frank Siracusa, director of the Nevada Division of Emergency Management and state coordinating officer said, "To date, FEMA has reimbursed eligible state, county, city and private nonprofit organizations $3,491,375.36 for snow emergency costs. FEMA's Public Assistance Program has proven vital to the people of Nevada."
FEMA prepares the nation for all hazards and effectively manages federal response and recovery efforts following any national incident. FEMA also initiates mitigation activities, trains first responders, and manages the National Flood Insurance Program and the U.S. Fire Administration. FEMA became part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on March 1, 2003.

That's essentially what happened to Kenneth Faried, if you will — he had a brilliant performance against the Miami Heat, the defending champion, and subsequently has been playing great against the rest of the homecoming court.
The Nuggets power forward has been brutalizing opponents this week, and Saturday he will play at Golden State, an intriguing opponent. Last season in a game in Oakland, Calif., Faried was abysmal, scoring one point with four rebounds. Sure enough, Denver hosted Golden State in its next game, and a motivated Faried had 27 points and 17 rebounds. His plus-minus rating that night was plus-33.
"He's an action guy who you always are going to have to find where he is," explained Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin, in town for Friday's Jazz-Nuggets game at the Pepsi Center.
In the Miami game, Faried erupted with 22 points and 12 rebounds, an astonishing seven of them off the offensive glass. Since then, he had nights such as the 15-and-8 against Detroit and the 16-and-16 at Houston in the second game of a back-to-back.
"I think in training camp, our minds were cluttered. We got away from the simple style that we play," Nuggets coach George Karl said when asked about Faried, who struggled in Denver's first two games. "I think he just went back to who he is — he's a runner, he's an energize guy, he's a defender, he's an exciting guy. He puts hustle in the game. I think the Miami game put him in the right direction. Playing the champions put him in a better focus."
How good was he in the Houston game? Karl said Faried was "even better" after the coach watched the film.
"Very seldom do I ever think a player is better on film," Karl explained.
