A cereal box and a soda bottle gave one student an idea.
Ava Ray, 10, a student at Union Elementary School, found that two soda bottles taped together would make a rocket, complete with boosters on the side, and a cardboard box would make a good launch pad.
For Ray and dozens of other students from across the county, this week was one of trial and error and experimentation. By the end of the week, each student had invented something.
A total of 85 children attended Camp Invention at Creekside Elementary School in Franklin this week. They tore apart old computer keyboards to make pinball machines. They repurposed latex gloves to make bionic hands and turned tissue boxes into mock guitars.
Camp Invention is a national science, technology, engineering and mathematics program that is meant to give students a an opportunity to be creative that they may not have in school, organizers said.
"We really wanted to provide a creative outlet for kids over the summer," said Julie Tennell, co-director of the camp and a biology teacher at Franklin Community High School. "We always hear about summer learning loss. The more they are thinking and using these skills, the better they will be."
Camp Invention also has been a summer tradition at Westwood Elementary School in Greenwood for at least five years, and Center Grove schools has hosted camps.
In Franklin, campers used the weeklong camp to invent and learn. They built cars using a kit, drew and made a prototype of their own invention, made bionic body parts and taped cardboard and keyboard letters together to make pinball machines.
The point of the camp is letting youngsters use their imaginations to invent, Tennell said.
All of the skills they pick up at camp will help them become successful in school, Tennell said. Students have to solve a problem without a textbook or teacher telling them how they should fix a failed part on their invention or what materials to use on their pinball machine.
"(The camp) provides skills they will need for the rest of their life," she said. "They have to look at a problem and solve it creatively without having an answer. It's not a multiple choice test."
Organizers spent a semester gathering supplies. Piles of plastic bottles were in huge tubs. Empty cereal and tissue boxes and oatmeal canisters were piled high. Students brought in old radios, computer towers and coffee makers that they could rip apart to make their inventions.
During the camp, students rarely heard the word "no" when they proposed an idea, Tennell and students said.
"What is best about it is, there is no right or wrong answer," Tennell said.
The national organization provided some guidance on curriculum. Videos walked students through some inventions, depicting how aluminum foil and cardboard could be used, for example. But mostly everything was a child's idea, Tennell said.
The freedom to explore was the best part of the camp, Ava said.
"It's been a blast every single day," she said. "Since we are at school, it is hard to believe that we can make anything our minds can imagine."
The camp allows more freedom for creativity than school, Tennell said. During the school year, teachers have to focus on meeting state standards, she said.
Students said they enrolled because they like science, thought it sounded like fun or needed something to do over their summer break.
Ethan Buening, 10, a student at Custer Baker Intermediate School, wanted a place to try something new.
"You get to do stuff you don't get to do in school," he said. "You get to try stuff you haven't done before."

OverviewA cat eye is a type of coloboma. Any defect in the iris that allows light to enter the eye, other than through the pupil, is called a coloboma. An extra hole or slit may be present from birth, or may result from trauma. Colobomas may also exist in the eyelid, a defect which interrupts the border of the eyelid.

I am constantly getting internal error 500 even after deleting and modifying .htaccess file. Any help would be helpful.
Error 500 ISE is very generic and can be caused by numerous underlying issues. Your first step should be locating error log for your hosting account or asking support to help with that.
- It may indicate .htaccess issue. Regenerate .htaccess, and be sure the encoding in your text editor is Unicode No BOM
-It may also indicate a problem with the configuration on the server. Usually your hosting company tech support can help.
- it could be problem with the plugins. try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin.
- it could be a problem with the theme. Momentarily, try switching to the default twentyeleven theme via FTP by renaming your current theme to rule out any theme specific issue.
- if these steps don't help, download WordPress again and replace your copies of everything EXCEPT the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies. This should replace your core files without changing your content and settings in wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory.
- did you check with your host if the domain name is configured properly to point to public_html folder
thanks t-p, my error log file says could not compile regular expression
and path is default .htaccess file. I tried replacing .htaccess with blank file but not working.:(

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- Jury selection is scheduled to begin later this month for a man charged with attempted murder in the shooting of former Jacksonville Jaguars player Richard Collier.
Tyrone Hartsfield is charged with shooting Collier on September 2nd, 2008, outside a Jacksonville apartment house.
Collier received 14 bullet wounds leaving him paralyzed.
Doctors also had to amputate his left leg.
Police believe the 33-year-old Hartsfield was retaliating after being beaten by Collier in a fight several months before.
At the final pretrial hearing Thursday, defense attorney Ann Finnell and Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda told Circuit Judge Mallory Cooper they are ready for trial.
The date has been set for October 26th.
Hartsfield has been held without bond for a year awaiting trial.

I bought my wife a Bianchi Milano for Christmas. It is beautiful, and rides really comfortably, and she is really happy. Unfortunately, we started going for longer (20 miles) rides together and found a fatal flaw for us. It really has no gear for climbing more than a really moderate slope. I live in Marin (SF Bay Area) and there are hills everywhere.
I don't want to get rid of the bike, and I am considering either replacing the rear wheel with a cluster that has a climbing gear and hanging a traditional rear derailler, or replacing the crank with a double and installing a front derailler.
Both of these may be terrible ideas, and I count on you very smart people to let me know.
It currently has a Nexus Alfine 8 sp rear hub and a 44T front sprocket.

Edmond city offices move
EDMOND — Rolling carts holding boxes and books wrapped in plastic were pushed into the city's new home for the information technology department on Monday.
Movers unloaded a trailer while 16 information technology employees figured out what went where in their new offices at 1273 N Broadway.
"We knew it would be a crazy day," said Shawn Akin, a client systems support analyst. "We are really excited to have our own space. The staff has grown and grown."
This will be the first time the entire department has been in the same building.
A dozen of the employees moved out of the administration building, 100 E First St., which will be torn down to make room for the new public safety center.
Others worked in the Downtown Community Center, while more than $1 million of information technology equipment was housed at another location.
Monday marked the start of the move of some 60 city employees to make way for the demolition of city buildings to provide enough land for the new public safety center in downtown Edmond.
The other employees are expected to move Wednesday to 7 N Broadway, a building that has been renovated and will be leased by the city for up to five years.
Customers can pay their utility bills, employees can check on payroll issues, and applicants can check on a job at 7 N Broadway, known as the Hargrove building.
Purchasing, payroll, treasury, accounting staff and human resources will temporarily operate out of this building.
One of the best aspects of the 6,240-square-foot information technology building is a concrete and steel room where the city's computer servers will eventually be located behind a steel door.
"By moving, we take a new physical level of security," said Kevin Carr, information technology director. "We made do in the old building. This brings us to another level."
If the building is ever destroyed, Carr said, the safe room for the servers would not be harmed.
The building, constructed in 2008, was not finished when the city bought it for $869,325.
Over the weekend, three city workers spent 10 hours running 160 cables that will operate the information technology equipment.
"This is something we have not had," Carr said. "It has been rather cramped. It is exciting."
Carr projected his department would be up and running by the end of the workday Monday.
"This is not as painful as people think," said Steve Hudson, the city's infrastructure support manager.

Only One Ear Cup Works - Test RCA Splitter Cable
NOTE: Make sure that you do not mistake the yellow video RCA for the white audio RCA. If you swap them accidentally, you won't hear anything on the left channel (white) because it's a video signal.
Test: Swap RCA Splitter Cable Connection
To test the RCA Splitter Cable, all you need to do is reverse red and white RCA audio connectors. To do this, plug the red plug into the white jack, and the white plug into the red jack.
So when the installation would normally go:
"White -> White" and "Red -> Red",
It will now go:
"White -> Red ->" and "Red -> White"
Once you have it hooked up this way, load up a game on the console and listen to the game soundtrack through the headset. If you now cannot hear audio in the other side of the headset, then the RCA Splitter Cable will need to be replaced. If the sound still doesn't play through the same one side of the headset, the issue may be with the headset itself.
RCA Splitter Cables are available for purchase on our website here:
RCA Splitter Cable - Male for Wireless Headsets
Female RCA Splitter Cable - Female for Wired Headsets

Great tips for achieving the champagne challenge completion and might just try them when playing the game next time 100%. Cage fightin was a challenge for me too, especially the mission "Mammas Boy" where I got too much damage because of lacking the counterskills and when the Cage Match sidemission opened I had to try it over ten times or so. I always got knifed by those dudes with the blades because I didn't know how to make countermoves even if I tried pressing the right buttons like the A-button. It was just difficult to press it accurately and fast enough with the same time as your opponent strikes you. But in overall if you ask me I think TBOGT has more fun sidemissions than The Lost and Damned.

Though the Potters have not won a Premier League match since August, the manager insists that there is no need to panic, while noting that Gus Poyet has improved the visitorsMark Hughes is confident that Stoke City will turn their fortunes around but expects a stern test from Sunderland on Saturday.
The Potters are only above the Premier League's bottom three on goal difference following a dismal run of eight games without a win. Their last league victory came in August against West Ham and the visit of Gus Poyet's strugglers will be seen as a great opportunity to get back on track.
Hughes played down the importance of the game against the Wearsiders, although the former Manchester City manager knows that his side will have their work cut out.
"I wouldn't describe Saturday's game as a must-win because we are still early in the season," he told the media, "but there is no doubt about it: We could do with winning the game.
|Stoke are 11/2 with Bet365 to beat Sunderland 1-0
"Sunderland will be a different proposition than they were, say, three weeks ago. They will be buoyed by their recent results and they will come here in confident mood but we aren't in too bad shape ourselves and we will be going out there on our front foot looking to get the three points that we are desperate for."
Despite Stoke's perilous position, Hughes has been encouraged by their performances so far this season.
He added: "We all have a lot of belief here. We have come up against some very good sides so far and acquitted ourselves really well.
"Obviously we would have liked to have taken a greater amount of points from those games but there are positives which we have taken out of the performances."
The Stoke boss revealed that striker Kenwyne Jones is a doubt for the game against his former club after picking up a slight back problem while on international duty with Trinidad and Tobago.

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
Infectious laryngotracheitis (ILT) is a contagious respiratory disease which is characterised by gasping, neck extension and conjunctivitis (inflammation of the membrane around the eye).
ILT is caused by a virus which may live for 8 to 10 days in droppings and up to 70 days in carcasses, hence correct disposal is essential. It is believed that the virus may survive for up to 80 days in tracheal exudate (throat exudate) if not disturbed. This shows the importance of sound clean-up procedures and high pressure hosing.
Fowls, pheasants and turkeys. Water fowl, such as ducks and geese, show no signs, but ducks are known to carry ILT. Wild birds may act as carriers.
Early symptoms may include bouts of hard swallowing, ruffled feathers on the back of the head, squinting and watering of one or both eyes, known as conjunctivitis.
After the incubation period of 3 to 14 days, there is increased mucus formation in the trachea, frequently followed by tracheal haemorrhage. This causes the bird to cough and to extend its head in a characteristic manner in order to breathe. In some cases only mild respiratory signs are seen but one eye may completely close.
The classical signs are gasping, coughing and sticking the neck forward and upwards with each breath in an effort to clear the mucus which builds up in the trachea (windpipe) – in fact, many birds die from the disease due to suffocation, ie, the windpipe becomes completely blocked. In acute cases, there has been up to 70% mortality.
There is a marked variation in the pathogenicity (potency) of various strains of the virus. Three major forms – the peracute, the subacute and mild or chronic forms are known.
Three broad forms are seen:
The ILT virus is released from the respiratory tract and there is rapid airborne transmission among birds in close contact such as cage or pen mates. The virus enters the bird through the eye, the nose or the mouth. The coughed-up mucus and blood contains virus and is another means of quick spread of the disease.
Most outbreaks in the past have been traced to the movement of poultry, people and equipment, however if environmental conditions are suitable windborne spread must be considered.
The virus depends on a transporting agent to get around. The virus is not transmitted through the egg so chickens are not infected at the time of hatching.
Eye vaccinated birds usually start to show signs on days 3 to 5 and have normally finished shedding virus by days 11 or 12.
It is generally accepted that wild or field strains cause the birds to shed virus over a longer period than vaccine strains. Again the period of shedding would depend on the incubation time which is usually longer than for vaccine strains (up to 14 days). The length of the shedding period will depend on when the last birds in the building became infected.
This situation can be short circuited by vaccination however a resultant carrier state (bird appears normal but may shed virus when stressed) is established in many birds.
The virus can survive for 10 days or more in droppings and up to 70 days in carcasses. The virus lasts longer in winter when it is cooler. It appears the virus may survive up to 80 days in tracheal mucus on non-conductive material such as wood. One percent lysol or three percent cresol will inactivate ILT virus in less than a minute.
Sunlight, heat and desiccation (drying) appear to be the three natural enemies of the ILT virus.
Acutely (severely) affected birds will show free blood in the trachea, generally associated with a mucus plug which inhibits normal breathing. The symptoms will rapidly spread throughout the flock.
Birds with subacute and mild infections may show only slight difficulty in breathing and perhaps a mild watering of one or both eyes. However, the disease can still be easily transmitted from one bird to another. Mild ILT infection may look like any other respiratory or virus infection.
Laboratory diagnosis will always be required to determine whether ILT virus is present.
ILT may be controlled by:
Antibiotics have no effect against the virus. Vaccination and the short incubation period of the vaccine is used to halt an outbreak.

ECU held its annual spring job fair Tuesday and organizers say the number of employers attending the fair has increased significantly over last year, which should help more students find jobs and internships during this time of economic recovery.
While we won't know the exact number of students who attended until Wednesday, ECU says the number of employers registered for the fair jumped 23 percent over last spring's job fair.
Career center director Karen Thompson says employers are flocking to university career fairs like ECU's because the events offer a high return for a minimum investment. She says companies might send one or two recruiters to a fair and will receive broad exposure to a large and diverse population of students. Thompson also says the number of employers looking for interns is also on the rise.
Most of the students we spoke with said they're not too worried about getting a job when they graduate, but said they're keeping the recovering economy in the back of their minds.
There were all types of employers at the job fair, ranging from construction, to finance, to health care, to retail businesses and WITN.

Feingold criticizes Johnson on the economy
U.S. Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wis.) on Wednesday stepped up his criticism that Ron Johnson, his Republican challenger, has not been specific on the key issues of the economy, jobs, spending and debt.
"He has said in his ads over and over again that the top issue is jobs and the economy and spending. I agree. But he gives us no plan," Feingold said on the campus of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
"He has no plan at all for jobs in the economy," Feingold said. "His only plan is to basically give himself a tax cut to people like himself. Seven hundred billion over 10 years, which would push ourselves over the tipping point."
Earlier, Johnson appeared at the candidate forum and repeated his call for repeal of the health-care law and to consider measures such as a balanced budget amendment or an amendment that would limit federal spending to 20% of the Gross Domestic Product.
"To me what is happening in Washington, it's out of control," Johnson said. "It's broke."
In his remarks at the forum and afterward with reporters, Feingold accused Johnson of hiding from the voters in his campaign.
"It's all done with mirrors," Feingold said. "This is not a real campaign. It is a stealth campaign."
In his remarks, Johnson said he didn't believe the U.S. Senate race is all about details.
"What my approach has been throughout the process is convey to people just who I am," Johnson said.
Johnson said he has tried to bring a different perspective to the race as a business executive.
"As a business person, if you are going to run a successful business, you have to balance the budget and have a surplus," he said.
Asked how being a senator would be different than being a CEO, Johnson said it wouldn't differ much.
"My tendency is to talk to people you do know, and try to reach consensus," Johnson said. "In the end you have to build a consensus and get everybody to agree to move forward. The same thing can be true in Washington."
Johnson told reporters that he viewed his campaign as a job interview with voters.
"I don't have access to all of the information. Certainly, I don't have the time to dig into these issues and come up with, 'Here's the solution.' All I can honestly do is convey who I am. This is my background. An accountant. A business owner. That's the level of experience I would take, the background I would take to those problems and start addressing them. That would be after I get elected. Then I would start doing the job.
"It's about the two-step process. Talking about my background and apply those things once you get in the Senate and you start doing the job," Johnson said.

"Friendly Calitzdorp" Calitzdorp by Alice-Kees
Calitzdorp Travel Guide: 4 reviews and 8 photos
Calitzdorp is a village in the Little Karoo, a vast semi-desert hinterland, separated by the Outenique Range from the fertile land along the Garden Route. You will find yourself staying here for probably one or two nights, but according to the local tourist information office there is more to explore in the area and they are very helpful in planning a stay of up to 7 days for you, sending you out on several walks, to wineries and along scenic drives in the area.
We stayed here for just one night and enjoyed the relaxed hospitality of the village.
We found Calitzdorp quite a relaxing stop on our way along the Route 62
- Pros:Interesting area and friendly people
- Cons:No nightlife to speak of

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. There will be celebrities, Disney characters and a musical fanfare when the PGA TOUR goes to Disney World for the season-ending Childrens Miracle Network Hospitals Classic Oct. 20-23, 2011. Theres also likely to be some drama: The $4.7 million tournament Oct. 20-23 on Disneys Magnolia and Palm courses will determine the final TOUR money rankings and which players have full exemptions in 2012.
Retired Tampa Bay Bucs linebacker Derrick Brooks is the first celebrity announced as an amateur participating in the Classic during the first and second rounds, played as a pro-am. Nine-time All-Pro Brooks National Football League career included 11 Pro Bowl appearances and selection as Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year in 2002, when the Bucs won the Super Bowl.
A tradition of the Classic during the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s is returning in 2011: A cadre of characters and the red-and-white-clad Walt Disney World Band will gather at the 18th green to celebrate the tournament winner.
Tournament Chairman Kevin Weickel said adding classic sounds from the legacy of Disney music is part of making the moment truly unique and special. For many of our champions over the years, the Classic has been their first entrance to the PGA TOURs winners circleand that is a memory you really want to make memorable with some pomp!
That was the case in 2010 when Robert Garrigus came from behind on Sunday to claim his first PGA TOUR win. He became the 17th player to notch his first TOUR victory on Disneys historic courses, which have hosted the Classic since 1971.
A field of 128 professionals will tee off in the quest for the $846,000 winners check. After two rounds, the field will be trimmed to the low 70 scores for the weekend rounds.
A one-day grounds ticket is $10; the weekly tournament badge providing admission to the grounds Oct. 17-Oct. 23 is $20. Parking is free and youth ages 17 and under are free when accompanying a paying adult.

who cares if you overreacted, you're pregnant! haha but i would probably be pretty offended and mad if my df couldn't appreciate or understand that i cooked for him and he has the nerve to tell me my cooking has no flavor and that's why he doesn't want to eat it. it's really not that hard to flavor fried rice, throw some sriracha and/or more soy sauce on it!!! what you made sounds good to me!
I cried when DH ate commercially prepared cinnamon rolls after church when he knew that I'd worked all night the night before on making some delicious home made ones. I still don't think I'm over it, and it happened in FEBRUARY. As in, before, WAAAAAAAAAY before, my BFP.
So, in short, I don't think you "overreacted"...at least not from my psycotic point of view!
Proud mama to rowdy 6-year old Lyla, sassy 2-year old Elena, and expecting a SURPRISE in October!
Not from my perspective. Of course, my DH would never say anything like that- now... The last time he commented negatively about my food I didn't cook a single meal for about 6 weeks. This was before we had kids. We compromise- If he doesn't like something he can douse it in hot sauce or whatever as long as all I hear is "Thanks, Babe. It was good."
I haven't heard one negative comment in 8 years, lol.
I do think you should explain your thoughts maybe tomorrow when you aren't so upset. He needs to know how much he hurt you, otherwise you are giving him permission to continue speaking to you in that way. A little story... Years ago (before cell phones) my mom always had supper on the table when my dad got home. He never thanked her, rarely complimented the cooking. When he was late, he didn't call, just took for granted his meal would be ready and waiting in the oven or microwave if he was late. Once he was hours late, not just a little. Mom got worried and started calling his friends' houses. Finally she called the bar and whoever answered verified he was there and had been for hours. She left his plate upside down in the sink. When he came in, he had the nerve to LAUGH about it. She never did anything else. And neither did he. Just lived for years with no appreciation on his side and lots of bitterness on her side. Yes, they eventually divorced. She's still pissed... He still thinks it was funny and she shouldn't have been mad.
OMG leaving a can of pringles!!!! That made me spit iced tea all over myself! Damnit woman, that's hilarious! (and 100% sounds like something I'd do, take pictures of, and share with everyone I know!) An ex boyfriend of mine once came home wasted out of his skull and promptly fell asleep in a pool of vomit on my new bedding. SOOOOO, I painted his nails in a nice shiny apple red, used lip tint on his lips and lash tint on his eye lashes. ahhhh, good times! :)

Magnetic Resonance Tracking of Iron Oxide Labeled Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Cartilage Tissue Engineering
Osteoarthritis is a heterogeneous and multifactorial disease characterized by the progressive loss of hyaline articular cartilage. Recently, therapies that utilize autologous chondrocytes have been pursued, but the use of a patient's own articular cartilage cells is quite limited. In pathological conditions where the body is unable to repair or regenerate tissue on its own, stem cell based therapeutic strategies have shown great promise. In particular, bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), a subset of adult stem cells, have demonstrated the ability to differentiate into a variety of cell lineages, including osteoblasts, adipocytes, chondrocytes, and myoblasts. Based on the ability to isolate these cells from patients, culture them ex vivo, and transplant them back into the body, adult stem cells are currently under investigation for their therapeutic potential in treating osteoarthritis.
The development of non-invasive imaging for assessing cell and tissue co-localizaton, cell migration, proliferation and therapeutic response will be critical for the success of future stem cell therapies. However, there are major challenges in the monitoring of these cells once administered in vivo. In order to visualize and track transplanted stem cells with MR imaging, cells have to be labeled with MR contrast agents. Initial cell labeling techniques have been hampered by a limited concentration of internalized contrast agents with subsequent limited sensitivity of MR to depict the labeled cells. In addition, the interaction between contrast agent-cell-scaffold becomes important in this case. New and improved methods need to be developed for efficient tracking of labeled cells, and ultimately the delivery and regenerative potential must be evaluated. In order to visualize and track transplanted stem cells with MR imaging, we propose the use of Micrometer-sized iron oxide (MPIO) particles as magnetic resonance contrast agents to track the fate of stem-cells non-invasively.
This proposal has significant benefit for the advancement of science, education, national and global visibility and economy for the state of California, (CA).
Research and Scientific Benefit:
The use of mesenchymal stem cells in regenerative medicine, is particularly important, as MSCs can be used for producing a wide variety of cell types and used to replace their dysfunctional counterparts in living humans. The key obstacle to stem cell therapy is the inability to track the cells and their fate through the body, non-invasively. This study will create novel non-invasive magnetic resonance imaging for monitoring the success of MSC transplantation for cartilage repair. This work will lead to novel therapeutic applications in tissue engineering and studies will potentially alleviate the cost of care in CA.
Training and Talent Development:
This proposal, with chemists, biologists, clinicians, and bioengineers focusing on non-invasive imaging for tracking stem cells, epitomizes an inter-disciplinary effort. This research as planned will include participation from graduate students, medical students, and post-doctoral researchers from multiple departments at UC San Francisco (UCSF). This will provide unique hands-on training, supplementing text-book teaching, and motivating a diverse and large number of individuals in CA, and lead to future funding from diverse sources.
National and Global Standing:
CA has taken leadership and is one of the few states investing resources in Stem Cell research. The science proposed here would potentially bring investments from institutions in other states. The technology transfer potential from researchers in institutions in states not as progressive as CA, represents a new paradigm with significant financial gains for the future. The diversity and outreach efforts of the team and the institutions are well known and will lead to rapid dissemination of the science and research to the public.
Financial benefit is the common denominator for all of the above aspects. The rapid progress in inter-disciplinary science, the impact of the research on cartilage tissue engineering, the intellectual property potential, the enhanced national and international standing will all lead to economic benefits for CA.

China Releases Rights Activist Teng Biao
BEIJING—Chinese authorities released lawyer and rights activist Teng Biao on Friday after more than two months in extrajudicial confinement, a day after a senior U.S. State Department official publicly lambasted China over its crackdown on dissent.
Some analysts say that Beijing's decision to release Mr. Teng may be partly designed to ease tensions with the U.S. over human rights ahead of high-level meetings in Washington in May. U.S. officials raised Mr. Teng's case during a "human rights dialogue" in Beijing last week.
Mr. Teng's wife, Wang Ling, told the Associated Press her husband returned home Friday afternoon but declined to provide further details. A spokesman for the U.S. embassy in Beijing also confirmed that Mr. Teng has been released but said the U.S. remains concerned over a deteriorating human-rights situation in China.
"We continue to express deep concern over the use of extrajudicial detention against him and other activists," said the embassy spokesman, Richard Buangan.
Human rights groups welcomed Mr. Teng's release, but described his confinement since mid-February as indicative of the erosion of rule of law in China.
"Teng Biao's disappearance and his sudden, unexplained release is emblematic of the increasingly thuggish and unlawful conduct of Chinese security forces in stifling perceived dissent," said Phelim Kine, an Asia researcher with Human Rights Watch.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Michael Posner, in Beijing last week for the two-day "human rights dialogue," said Thursday that he stressed Mr. Teng's case at the meeting. He rebuked China for "serious backsliding" on human rights, which he said was hurting relations with the U.S.
Mr. Posner said the U.S. would continue to press human rights during this month's Strategic and Economic Dialogue, which brings together senior Chinese and U.S. officials for talks covering a broad range of economic and security issues.
Lawyers such as Mr. Teng have been among those targeted during China's continuing crackdown on perceived political dissent. Dozens of writers, artists, lawyers, religious leaders and other rights activists have been arrested or confined to their homes in what experts describe as the most severe crackdown on dissent in more than a decade.
"We're on new grounds here," Mr. Kine said. "We're seeing a degree of lawlessness and thuggishness on the part of the security forces that we previously didn't see."
Mr. Kine said China's move made the U.S. susceptible to "hostage diplomacy," in which detained activists in China "are used by the Chinese government as a bargaining chip."
Mr. Teng was an original signatory to the petition known as Charter 08, which, among other demands, called for rule of law and open elections in China. Liu Xiaobo, the Nobel Peace Prize recipient who helped draft the petition, is serving an 11-year prison sentence for sedition.
In his news conference Thursday, Mr. Posner said the U.S. is particularly worried about the condition of Mr. Liu's wife, Liu Xia, who is believed to be confined to her home.
Unrest across the Arab world since the start of the year precipitated a crackdown on political dissent in China amid online calls for a "Jasmine Revolution" that have spooked authorities. Many experts believe that crackdown is likely to continue as the country moves into a period of heightened political sensitivity in the lead-up to its leadership transition next year.

Posted on 07/11/2005 1:19:41 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
The University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the epitome of the conventional cancer establishment, is reporting promising test results on an unconventional weapon: a common spice used in Indian cooking.
In a host of studies, M.D. Anderson researchers are showing that curcumin, the pungent yellow spice in both turmeric and curry powders, has potent anti-cancer properties. They say it may prove effective for both prevention and treatment.
"Curcumin's promise is enormous," said Bharat B. Aggarwal, a professor of cancer medicine in M.D. Anderson's department of experimental therapeutics.
"It appears to inhibit multiple pathways by which cancer grows, and we know it's nontoxic."
Aggarwal added that "in a day when Vioxx and Bextra are off the table, curcumin may be one of the best new hopes on the table" a reference to popular painkillers (Cox-2 inhibitors) taken off the market after reports they increased the risk of heart disease. Cox-2 inhibitors were considered potential cancer prevention agents because they'd been shown to inhibit tumor growth.
The latest study on curcumin is available today on the journal Cancer's Web site.
In it, M.D. Anderson researchers demonstrate in the laboratory how curcumin stops melanoma cells from proliferating along two key pathways and induces them to essentially commit suicide. The cells were taken from patients.
A month ago, the same researchers reported that in mice, curcumin helped stop the spread of breast cancer to the lungs. It outperformed the cancer drug Taxol in the study, though the best results came with a combination of curcumin and Taxol.
Putting it to the test The results of those studies have led to ongoing Phase I human trials at M.D. Anderson testing curcumin's ability to stop the growth of pancreatic cancer and multiple myeloma.
Still to come are a human trial for breast cancer and an animal trial for melanoma.
Elsewhere, researchers are studying curcumin with lung, colon, head and neck, oral and prostate cancers.
Aggarwal said the thing distinguishing curcumin from other natural products touted for their medicinal properties is the science behind it.
Herbs such as garlic, saw palmetto and gingko may receive more ink, but there have been about 2,000 studies on curcumin, says Aggarwal, easily more than any other natural product.
It is rich in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties.
Most intriguing, the rate of colon, breast, prostate and lung cancer is 10 times lower in India than in the United States.
Financial obstacles In the melanoma study, the M.D. Anderson team found curcumin shut down nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB), a powerful protein known to promote an abnormal inflammatory response that leads to a variety of disorders, including arthritis and cancer; the protein known as IKK that switches NF-kB "on;" and STAT3, another pathway involved in the spread of tumors.
Aggarwal noted that the greatest obstacle to further study of curcumin is financial. No pharmaceutical company is likely to develop a natural product that can't be patented so the only sources of funding are government agencies.
Curcumin is available in capsule form at health food stores, though the purity of some brands may be in question because herbs aren't regulated. Aggarwal's team worked with a 96 percent pure product.
"Curcumin's efficacy for treating cancer is still to be proven," Aggarwal said. "But I would recommend it for prevention right now, based on animal studies. People have been eating it for thousands of years so we know it's safe."
Ground from the root of the Curcuma longa plant, curcumin is a member of the ginger family.
It has long had multiple uses in India and other Asian nations: food preservative, folk medicine, coloring agent, body cleanser and food flavorer (2 to 5 percent of turmeric is curcumin, for instance).
"Most intriguing, the rate of colon,
breast, prostate and lung cancer is
10 times lower in India than in the
United States."
Very interesting!
Cancer has been slowly killing off my family for the last few years. I'm hoping they solve it before it's my turn. I can't think of very many worse ways to go.
Head to the spice isle today.
***...It is rich in antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. ...***
This undoubtedly has more to do with the cancer numbers than curcumin. However, this is in fact an exciting possibility for cancer treatment.
More curry chicken please!
Seems to me that this should have been the next step.
Unless of course, the media was trying to invent news. But they wouldn't do that, would they?!? ;P
Looks like the average Indian doesn't live long enough to get cancer.
I am so hoping that I get the genetic side from my mom. Seems like most of my dads side of the family has died early (50-60), almost all from cancer. The women on my moms side live long. My grandma is 88, and her mom died at 92. I think I'll go to the store...just in case.
Good points.
I doubt it could hurt!
Why can't they somehow discover someday that bacon prevents cancer?
My aunt sent me an unusual plant with pretty foliage many years ago.
I had to go to Exotica (THE encyclopedia of plants) to determine what it was.
Turns out it was curcuma inodora.
I wonder whether the inodora variety has the same chemical structure.
It is a very showy plant, at first glance reminding you of a colorful bromeliad.
It's been 25 years, and more, since I went on the Great Hunt for the Sure Cure for Cancer with my long-lost first wife... she had Kaposi's hemmoragic sarcoma, then malignant melanoma- but what set her off the deep end was when her brother got melanoma, too.
We started in Vancouver, and went all the way down to Contreras's clinic in Mexico, looking for "something- anything" that would offer an alternative to the dire prognosis from conventional medicine. Laetril, wheatgrass juice & sprouts, retinotherapy, reflexology, DMSO-- you name it, we tried it- And yes, her brother died eventually, despite the best conventional, and other, treatment...
while I remain unconvinced that "alternatives" offer any sort of sure cure, they did have snippets of knowledge that medicine poo-poos, yet- why not try diet, and exercise? Can't hurt you, you may feel better, or at least different for a while.
Life is worth fighting for.
Thank you for the info.
I know what you mean.
It's just anecdotal, but the longest-lived people I have known were active, and did hard labor-- usually in the sunlight every day, just about up 'til the day they died. And many of them ate what I call a farmhand's or lumberjack's diet- eggs, meat, pancakes, bacon... plenty of vegtables, often cooked in some sort of fat, fried food. But they kept moving, until they could move no more.
A year or more ago, we had a doctor who was a freeper, he wrote to me about using the natural cancer cures for my
daughter in law.
He felt that the natural cures should be used, as well as the treatments from the doctor.
He felt that the addition of the natural cures would increase the chances of survival by 20 to 25 percent.
Theresa's cancer was to far along for any cure and we lost her last fall.
My sympathy for the loss of your wife.
This looks more promising than some...thanks for posting this.
I'm very sorry to hear that- there are just some conditions that can't be survived. It doesn't make it any easier to bear, however.
The one thing I'll say in favor of Contreras's clinic is that they tried everything- conventional or not- and sometimes bought time, or even saved those considered beyond hope.
I met a family in Ohio where two sisters and brother lived to 100,102,103.... All were bright and active until the end (the last died of complications from a broken hip or would probably still be alive)
Most people do not give genetics enough respect because there's no way to improve your genes. Still I suppose diet and exercise couldn't hurt.
Many many friends of mine have been treated for their various cancers at MD Anderson, and most have done real well. I have yet to hear anyone criticize the treatment they have gotten there.
Mine too. I've lost my mom, two nephews and my sister to this curse. I know there are natural cures but the FDA and FTC won't pursue them because there's no MONEY involved in it. I won't give a dime to the Cancer Society until they start pursing these natural cures or at least testing them.
Cinnamon is supposed to be very good for diabetics, too. I think many spices will be coming to the forefront.
I've heard many excellent things about them- at that time in my own adventures, Duke was leading with immunothearapy for melanoma, so we ended up there. It does help to have a Doc you really trust, which we did- old family friend. I actually had young medical people track me down in those neo-gothic corridors, grab my hand, and ask, "Say, I've heard you know Marv Engel? Hellofa doctor!"
Brother I went on that same search with my later wife as well. Nothing worked not the most ancient nor the most modern and no one could have fought more persistently or with more courage than my dear Arlene. It will be eight years in September since she passed at the age of 43.
I had a cheeseburger yesterday with onions and mayo. It was sooo good. Today I'll have a boca burger in repentance (smile). I think a vegan diet is the best if you have any kind of illness but I can't just do carrot and other fruit/veggie juices and vegetables. I tried it and my bowels were working just great but it's a hard one to stay on for long. I'm not supposed to eat a lot of green veggies because of the renal diet and being on coumadin, but I have a lot of salads. M
Very interesting!
Well, it's no wonder...have you ever eaten Indian food? Let's just call it "intestinal Drano."
God bless you neighbor- life goes on, but it leaves a hole in your heart that nothing ever really fills. I remarried after a few years, and it kind of spooks me when I realize how many years I've had with wife #2 compared to the little more that seven with my first. And how, every once in a while, I'll have the errant thought, "boy, wait 'til I tell Helen about that one!" and then realize I'm not ever going home to that home again.
We have always thought that GOD put on earth something to cure every disease, all we have to do is locate them.
I know several dozen "strict" vegitarians and several vegans. Down to the last person they are the unhealthiest looking people I've ever known. They are gaunt, stay sick all winter and lack energy. Forget about trying to find somewhere to go out to dinner with them too. One even suffered a broken arm (humerus bone) in flight in a hang glider under normal flight conditions. She is a nurse practitioner and knows and understands the benefits of good nutrition. She has since begun eating meat again, her color came back, she has boundless energy and she no longer stays sick during the cold and flu season.
Cancer is such an insidious, awful disease. However, once in a while, you run across a patient who has cancer and has undergone treatments that to me seemed worse than the disease itself, but they hang on somehow, and keep going.
Someday, the cure will be found, but until that day, there will be many horrors such as you experienced. God bless you both, and your families.
When the article states: "curcumin, the pungent yellow spice in both turmeric and curry powders" what it really means is "curcumin, otherwise known as turmeric, which is the spice in curry powder which makes it yellow".
It's TURMERIC! Same family as ginger and golden seal. I use it like golden seal because it is so much cheaper. It helps cuts and wounds, to sprinkle on them -helps heal them up. Make a paste and apply to boils, rashes or pimples. Of course, turns the skin an appealing shade of yellow. :-)
It's good to eat it every day in food.
Indians eat turmeric every day. I doubt the British eat it every day.
Usually when lifespans are determined, all the infant and child deaths are figured in, but once a person attains adulthood they may live to an old age.
Just like we read that in the middle ages, or a couple of hundred years ago in our country, the lifespan was shorter. Actually many people lived to a ripe old age, but the infant mortality was higher so it brought down the average. It's not that everyone in the middle ages died at 40. I'm sure it's the same in India - there are plenty of old people there.
There is a world of difference between vegetarians who eat milk products, and vegans. Vegans are nutcases who ruin their health.
I have been a milk product eating vegetarian for 35 yrs, raised two kids on the diet who have stuck with it even into adulthood, and they are healthy beautiful women.
It is the lack of milk products which destroy the health of vegans, or those whackjobs who eat only raw food.
It can be called "karma" (though most people misunderstand the meaning of the word), or destiny. I've seen two friends, one a very, very dear friend, live very healthy lives with good diets and habits, and succumb to cancer at 28 and a young 50.
What really matters is not how long we walk the earth, but what our destination is after we leave. What lessons we learn here.
I've had some severe illnesses in my time, and they have taught me lessons I value like treasures.
Soldiers call it "seeing the elephant," and there are many ways to do this.
Hmm - could you explain "seeing the elephant"?
Facing death.
I was 31 at the time, and the richness of ironies still rankles, a little. In all the tests they ran, they never x-rayed her head-- she had been born with it. Or so the pathologist claimed. If she had not had her neck broken in a wreck ( which, among many other things, caused chronically low [ 60/40 ] blood pressure ) it probably would have burst long before that, since prior to becoming handicapped, she was quite the athlete. Archer, runner, swimmer, horsewoman.
No question about it...cinnamon is an essential part of my family's daily diet. Cancer treatment is one issue, but a cure? Never happen.

Ask a group of restaurant servers which is their least favorite shift to work and their number one answer will be Sunday after church.
It seems we churchgoers are a cranky bunch when we're hungry, and that's putting it politely.
Their consensus of us is that we're demanding and rude. We sit in large groups and stay longer than we should, discussing the morning's sermon (or latest church gossip) and commenting on the heathens at the nearby table drinking Bloody Marys.
Monterey Baptist Church
Congratulations to Foster and Gerry Smith on celebrating 50 years of marriage Feb. 16!
Adult Bible study will not be held Wednesday night this week, but come join us in Gallatin County supporting our basketball players and cheerleaders in the district tournament. Go Rebels!
If there is no school on a Wednesday, then Rock Stars will not meet Wednesday evening.
The youth meet at 5 p.m. on Sundays.
N-H Columnist
The funniest story of the week has to be about the fellow who approached his pastor to ask him to pray about his hearing.
Instantly, that pastor laid both hands on that fellow's head, and began praying. When the pastor finished praying, he looked at the fellow and said: "Now how's your hearing."
"I don't know," the fellow responded. "It's not until Thursday."
"Dear Me,
You are the most awesome-est thing that has ever walked on this earth. Love, Me" -- found on the Internet
Just when you think you've heard everything, something new comes along that causes you to shake your head in curious amazement.
According to a Charisma News report, sologamy is on the rise as the latest marriage trend.
It seems that people, mostly women, are marrying themselves, often in elaborate ceremonies with a bridal gown, bridesmaids, guests, a reception -- and a honeymoon.
Monterey Baptist Church
Welcome to the newest member of the MBC family, Campbell Carter. Congratulations to Shelby, Nick, Carson, Cooper and all the Carter family!
If there is no school on a Wednesday, then Rock Stars will not meet on Wednesday evening.

MBC's volleyball team plays at the gym at First Baptist Church in Owenton. They play at 8:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 22, and at 6:30 p.m., Monday, Feb. 29. Come out and support our team.
Will Rogers, the humorist from a generation ago, said lots of funny things in his day, including this ditty:
"When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like Grandpa did. Not screaming like all the passengers in his car."
Recently I spent time with some people who are homeless.
I had met some of them while tagging along at the annual county-wide housing count, which is another way to say homeless count.
Every year, people who care go out and find the people who live in the woods or in their cars or sleep in abandoned buildings and get as much information about them as they can.
People who care want to meet these people's immediate and ongoing needs with tents and blankets and stoves, and also their long-term needs.
Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church
"I Am Not Alone" was Carla Marston's special in song Sunday morning. The choir also sang "Worthy of Worship." Bro. Dale's sermon was based on 2 Corinthians 4:1-12.
Thanks to everyone who made our "Super Bowl of Chili and Soup" a success! All had a great time in fellowship.
Some anonymous wise guy took to the Internet to discuss the economy, saying it's so bad that:
When someone says, "I have good news and bad news," which one do you prefer to hear first?
Joe went to his doctor who posed that question to him.
"Give me the good news first," Joe said.
"You have 24 hours to live," the doctor told him.
Clutching his chest, Joe said, "If that's the good news, what's the bad news?"
The doctor said, "I meant to tell you yesterday."

I love you with a love that's forbidden, yet I can't stop.
you make me feel like no man has ever made me feel before,
with just a look I swoon.
I dream of your arms around me, your lips on mine.
When you look at me
my soul shudders with joy.
My heart skips a beat.
In my dreams I am sexy to you and there's no end to the pleasure I can give you.
I am loving you with a soft gentle love
that would shake you to the core.
In my dreams I feel you near me,
around me,
In me.
I want to love you openly
without fear or reservation,
but this is a forbidden love,
so I hide it,
keep it in secret and love you only in my dreams.
For only in my dreams am I acceptable to you,
only in my dreams can my fantasies be realized.
This poem felt so real to me. Thank you so much because this perfectly describes how I feel. I am hopelessly in love with my history teacher who is way older (early 50's or late 40's) and...

This party theme is great for many celebrations because it promises the greatest party possible. The Fiesta Fun party supplies theme features tons of colors and lots of design elements that make one think of Mexico. Plates, balloons, and lots of other supplies match, and they'll create a party atmosphere that will be full of heat, even if there's snow on the ground outside.
The tableware for this theme is recyclable and features depictions of maracas, chili peppers, and sombreros. The lip of the plates is designed with lots of assorted vertical stripes in different colors. The table will look like something out of a grand community festival in a village. All the guests will gather around and have lots of fun swapping stories and enjoying each other's company. The table is where everyone will be gathered, but the center can only be as nice as everything surrounding it. That's why we also have lots of assorted decorations to add to the celebration. Streamers, balloons, banners, and confetti will make this a party that is far bigger than it appears. You might as well invite your entire neighborhood over to celebrate and have a good time.

Construction system types-economy
First a good building center or local contractor should be able to help you out to narrow your questions down a bit.
Steel will give you the best result and price if you take into account open floor space, long spans, and the ability to accomodate additions of air exchangers and spray booths because of the space between columns is a typical 6-10' and will allow a 2'x2' hole just about anywhere you need one The size and number of doors is more agreeable with steel framing. Also insurance may be a factor to say steel is better with your shop. Consider sprinklers and dust control with construction to protect the building and pocket book.
The only draw back is noise if you don't insulate or finish the inside of the building
Watch the zoning regs in your area, they have a lot to say about steel structures in some places.
Be sure that you know full well what it is you are looking at, because the cost differences between them can be substantial.
As an example, the type of building you are considering, in a "Red-Iron" type structure, would be on the small end of the scale and cost between $7000 - $10,000, depending on the options you choose. This type of structure would allow for at least 20' spacing between main frames (or 25' or even 30'+), and spans (without interior columns) anywhere from 20' to as much as 250'+. The purlins (roof framing members) are typically set at 5' on center, allowing (as the previous post stated) room for practically anything.
And yes, insurance rates are definitely a factor, with a metal building you can actually achieve a Class A fire rating.
Hope this info helps some...
