BACKGROUND & AIMS:: Little is known about the pathogenic mechanisms of autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP), an increasingly recognized, immune-mediated form of chronic pancreatitis. Current treatment options are limited and disease relapse is frequent. We investigated factors that contribute to development of AIP and new therapeutic strategies. METHODS:: We used quantitative PCR, immunohistochemical and ELISA analyses to measure expression of cytokines and chemokines in tissue and serum samples from patients with and without AIP. We created a mouse model of human AIP by overexpressing LTα and β specifically in acinar cells ( Ela1-LTab mice). RESULTS:: mRNA levels of lymphotoxin (LT) αandβ were increased in pancreatic tissues from patients with AIP, compared with controls, and expression of chemokines ( CXCL13, CCL19, CCL21, CCL1 and BAFF) was increased in pancreatic and serum samples from patients. Upregulation of these factors was not affected by corticosteroid treatment. Acinar-specific overexpression of LTαβ (Ela1-LTαβ) in mice led to an autoimmune disorder with various features of AIP. Chronic inflammation developed only in the pancreas but was sufficient to cause systemic autoimmunity. Acinar-specific overexpression of LTαβ did not cause autoimmunity in mice without lymphocytes(Ela1-LTab/Rag1(-/-)); moreover lack of pro-inflammatory monocytes (Ela1-LTab/Ccr2-/-) failed to prevent AIP but prevented early pancreatic tissue damage. Administration of corticosteroids reduced pancreatitis but did not affect production of autoantibodies, such as anti-pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor in Ela1-LTab mice. In contrast, inhibition of LTβR signaling reduced chemokine expression, renal immune-complex deposition, and features of AIP in Ela1-LTab mice. CONCLUSIONS:: Overexpression of LT α βspecifically in acinar cells of mice causes features of AIP. Reagents that neutralize LT β R ligands might be used to treat patients with AIP.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
The catalytic converter does have 176,000 miles on it. I don't know how long they are supposed to last. I haven't checked fuel pressure yet. Had a little set back yesterday -- had two hernia repairs. So I am laid up for a few days. Changing the catalytic converter now would be either overly expensive or extremely difficult.
I have found the fuel pressure fitting, and I appreciate your advice regarding it being similar to a tire valve stem. I couldn't see that since there is a hard black substance filling the fitting and is shaped such that it fills the inside of the dust cap. I didn't know what it was, but I am now sure I need to clean that substance out of there to gain access to the valve stem. Unfortunately, I imagine the substance fills the entire valve stem and I may have difficulty getting it cleaned out. Then I figure pieces will end up in the injectors and mess those up. Any advice in that respect? I suppose I should disconnect the main line, then clean the valve out, then connect a plastic bag on the line and turn the ignition on to allow fuel to flush out the hardened varnish or what ever it is(?) I wonder if the valve core will be destroyed in the process.
Do you have to buy the full gauge kit to connect to the fitting? I mean the gauges are around $18. I had planned to buy an appropriate fitting to work with the gauge but that was before you good folks explained that I was dealing with a shraeder type valve. Now, it seems the only fittings I can find to fit it are the ones that are in the full kit. Those are around $40 I suppose.
Thanks for the support and advice!
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
Use a needle to remove the plastic substance from the valve stem. I would not worry about plastic getting inside and messing your injectors. There is a filter before the injectors. Once you get as much plastic out as possible, turn on the key to let the fuel pump build pressure and push the middle of the valve stem to let pressurized fuel out to clean things out.
I believe you can also use a tire pressure gauge to measure the pressure. You might need someone to hold the gauge on the valve stem and another person to turn on the key. But overall, the proper gauge is the way to go since you can monitor the pressure while driving as well.
I have 240k miles on my 88 Eldorado and the CAT is still fine. A classic symptom of a bad converter is the transmission will also want to hang up on lower gears and not want to upshift. Do you have this symptom?
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
Great idea of using needle and then using the gas pressure to shove pieces out. I really didn't want to remove the fitting and to remove the two gas line clamps just to get to where I could read pressure. Thanks for that idea. You mentioned there is a filter before the injectors. Does that filter get clogged?
I found a fuel pressure gauge at Harbor Freight for $13 (HF # 92699). I believe it has the correct shraeder fitting. It appears I will have to buy some rubber fuel line to get the meter up to the windshield while driving.
Glad to hear you have 240k on your cat. How is it you know it is fine?
My transmission has never hung between gears. My transmission slips between 1st and 2nd. It has been doing that for 8 years probably. Without thinking about it, I let up on the gas a little just as I know it is ready to shift into 2nd. People riding with me wouldn't notice the slip. If I don't let the gas off a bit, it can really slam into 2nd. I've always wondered if there is an adjustment for that other than replacing the transmission.
Thank you for the help.
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
I believe if you remove the injector, you will find a screen filter. It's been a while since I did that. You might want to remove your injectors and clean out the junk.
"Glad to hear you have 240k on your cat. How is it you know it is fine?"
I have no symptoms of a clogged CAT. Symptoms would include low power and excessive throttle to get the car moving or to go up hills which would cause the transmission to hang up in lower gears.
"I've always wondered if there is an adjustment for that other than replacing the transmission."
You might want to change out the transmission filter. If it is clogged, the transmission would not be developing the pressure it should and this would cause excessive slipping. You could also try tightening up the TV cable a bit. This is the transmission cable that hooks up to the throttle.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
Sorry I didn't get back sooner but i see you are on the right track. That plastic stuff shouldn't be there so it should work once you get it cleaned out. I don't know about adding any hose to read the fuel pressure while driving. It probably can't be done becuase it isn't a universal type of hose. That funky 1-2 shift could be a problem with the vacuum modulator or a small leak in the line. Let us know how you make out.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
IMO, this sounds like ignition failure under load. How old are the wires, cap, and rotor? You noted that you had replaced the plugs at one point. What brand did you use?

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
You might want to try throwing a MAP sensor at it...should be easy to find at a junkyard, or you can use a T-fitting and a suitable length of hose to allow you to place the vacuum gauge inside while you drive. Any Haynes or Chilton manual can assist you with interpreting gauge readings. If this problem only occurs under heavy load, it could also indicate a problem in the vacuum circuit used by the MAP sensor to control the mixture. Check for cracked hoses, loose connections etc. before/while replacing the unit. There might be fault codes, or failing that, even electrical problems with the MAP sensor.
If the mixture is too lean, the resulting heat buildup may be causing too much current to be drawn from the ignition module, causing its failure as you've described. I'm not aware of any fuel-line fittings which do not use Schrader valves; if your fitting looks at all like a tire valve, then make sure you depressurize the fuel system, (pull the fuel pump fuse, crank engine for 10-15 seconds) and have a Schrader valve tool handy before you attempt to pull out the plastic cap.
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
Thanks for replies and advice friends.
I've been laid up for a few days, but I do have a fuel gauge kit now and I will clean the shrader valve and check pressure today. Thanks for the encouragement that indeed I am looking at a shrader valve with some sort of build-up inside. I still have to buy some fuel line and couplers to extend line to windshield.
The plugs I bought were cheap ones - Delco perhaps. I can check. I didn't realize that could be a bad thing. And I have assumed that they were OK since I just did that a year ago or so. Plug wires are perhaps 10 years old; again they were the cheapest ones I could find. The cap and rotor are original... 177,000 miles on those, but they "appear" to be in sound condition - no apparent cracks, square metal corners...
I can monitor "instantaneous fuel mileage" as I drive. I have always assumed that was actually the result of a vacuum measurement. It doesn't get ridiculously low... say around 9 or 10 when the engine begins to struggle. I have looked for vacuum leaks, but haven't found one. And the rubber hose seems to be in pretty good shape.
It is interesting that you mention ignition module failure due to too much current draw. It happens that when it failed a couple of months ago, it was during a time when the engine was "chugging" badly as I going up an incline at 35 mph +/- in high/4th gear. I was just sort of "playing" with the car's condition to learn more about it, when all of the sudden, the engine just died. I was able to "coast" up the incline (an overpass) and back down onto a side street before stopping. While there seemed to be a link between the struggling engine and the ignition module failure, I couldn't come up with a reason for it. You are saying that, in effect, a lean mixture could result in heat buildup, which could result in a heavier than normal current draw by the ignition module (?) That certainly was what it seemed! And that is why I try to back off the load to the engine when it begins to stall since ignition modules failures leave you stranded. Would you explain why the ignition module draws more current when the mixture is lean?
Another factor I think is valid: This condition started suddenly. It didn't worsen over time and it hasn't worsened since it happened. It seems to be more of a device failure than a gradual system degradation.
Thanks for the help!

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
An excessively lean mixture will burn much hotter, as well as faster, and presents very little resistance to the spark plug air gap. When air is compressed, it heats; adding fuel causes a bit of quench, as well as electrical resistance. A lean mixture will cause the temperature in the cylinders to rise; the ignition module itself will then heat up because there is now too much current flowing. It's possible also that too much resistance, caused by deteriorated cap, rotor, wires etc., would mean that the spark is not hot enough to burn the mixture. Pull one of the plugs and have a look at the electrode; this will tell you a lot about the combustion process. I'd recommend you also replace the cap, wires and rotor: no matter how they look from the outside, the carbon tracks forming on the inside will also add resistance. It sounds like you may have overloaded an already struggling engine. Don't be afraid to use 3rd gear for going uphill. I've found 4th to be suitable only for freeway cruising, and if you downshift between 50-55 you'll be fine. I've had a few arguments on this, but never a transmission failure. Gasoline engines produce torque toward the middle of the RPM band. Remember, they were going for economy. But keeping RPM low by using too high a gear results in overloading ("bogging" or "chugging"). Additionally, the proper heat range plugs are essential, and it's worth the extra bread to buy at least the mid-grade wires, since cheap ones will only last about a year or two. 10 years is a bit much, IMHO, even for the premium ones. You can also use a can of carb cleaner to find vacuum leaks; spray it on each fitting while the engine is running and listen for any change in idle speed. They're not always visible to the naked eye.
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
thank you for the explanation regarding how a lean mixture can cause ignition module stress.
I checked fuel pressure while driving. From the time the key is turned on, the pressure stays within a pound of 13 psi. That includes the few miles I drove up inclines, etc. Turning the key off allows the pressure to drop, but it drops slowly and stays at around 6 pounds for some time. I suppose that all means there is no fuel supply problem. I looked at the injector spray and it "seems" to look OK.
So now... I suppose I should replace plug wires, plugs, distributor cap, and rotor... (??) I figure I'll pull a few plugs first to see how they look. As many of us know, at least a couple of the back four are miserable to change. I was thinking I might pick up a rocker arm cover gasket and remove the rear rocker arm cover, That makes changing the plugs a little easier and would allow me to be sure half of the camshaft lobes are OK.
With the engine in idle, I have removed one plug wire at a time and each one affected engine idle.
Haven't really figured out whether this is an ignition or fuel problem. Feels like a fuel problem, but not sure what else to check in that regard.
Should I do some checking on the O2 sensor or anything else first? I checked trouble codes. There is none that is related to this type of issue.
Any additional advice would be appreciated.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
It seems you're dealing with a combination of problems. Start by eliminating them one at a time:
1. R/R cap, wires, rotor, plugs. A ratchet with a swivel head, or perhaps just a "wobble extension" may save you the trouble of removing the valve cover. Check timing and idle speed too. (It's worth the extra effort; you're "already there!")
2.Check the oxygen sensor (It should fluctuate between .1-.9 mV rapidly after warmup.) A static value or one which changes but does not exceed any value below .9 mV means a defective oxygen sensor.
3. Have the catalytic converter tested. You'll need a smog/tune shop for this of course...
4. Have another look at the MAP sensor. Without accurate readings from this device, your fuel mixture will never be correct. It's possible that a lean mixture, caused by the failure (or even partial failure) of this device, could have taken out your ignition module. OBD-I is not as likely as OBD-II to set fault codes for oxygen or MAP sensors. You'll still need to "sniff it out."
Edahall is onto something too...if your converter has failed, of course you'll need an exhaust shop. Consider his advice...depending on the smog check program in your state, perhaps ordering a pretest will help you narrow it down to this...without having to annoy your neighbors! (i.e., sawing off the exhaust to see if there's any improvement!)
It's likely your converter failed, due to the old cap, wires, plugs and rotor. This could also have damaged the oxygen sensor. Change 'em all, then have your converter looked into. It will be money well spent. If the CAT is OK, THEN the MAP sensor is suspect...
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
I was afraid you would say that -- a combination of problems, that is.
If you feel that the odds of a failed camshaft causing this problem is remote, then, like you say, it would be far easier not to take the cover off. a universal joint or swivel head would allow me to get all 8 plugs changed.
I can measure the voltage on the O2 sensor without a lot of trouble. Can the MAP sensor voltage be measured as well? If so, would you tell me what the acceptable voltage range and change pattern would be?
I believe you are saying that it wouldn't make sense to replace a defective O2 sensor until I know that the cat is OK. Because if the cat is bad, I would stand a good chance of destroying the O2 sensor again (?)
I am not sure that a "Pretest" is something available in Kansas, but I will find out -- that would be a great idea if it works.
I suppose, depending upon the cost of a "pre-test", it might not cost a whole lot more to just change out the catalytic converter if its being bad is a strong likelyhood. Advance has them for $60. Two questions in that regard: If something else is wrong, could it destroy the cat again -- like before I get the "something else" fixed? And is there an analyzer to check the catalytic converter that would be loaned out, say from Autozone or somewhere? I am assuming you measure the mixture of the exhaust content to determine whether the cat is OK.
I checked current/history codes again today. There is none relating to engine performance.
Thank you for the ongoing support.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
You're dancing around an obvious issue. Change the plugs to whatever Delco plugs the OEM spec calls for. Change the wires, cap and rotor using AC Delco or another quality item. Your symptoms are so typical of failed ignition that this is the logical place to start.
As far as the difficulty of changing plugs, you'll need various extensions, swivels, etc but it is doable. No need to pull the rocker cover. Change the wires at the same time, plug by plug.
This is hard but not complicated. It is basic. Post back when you have done the work. My bet is that your car will be running fine then.
Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
Thank you NickySantoro!! I sincerely appreciate your confidence that this will be fixed. I've chnaged the plugs three times I believe. And they were changed one time, the first time by the dealer. But I never enjoyed it!! I'll get wires, plugs, distributor cap, and rotar -- probably tomorrow. Had eyes dilated today, so things are blurrier than normal right now.
Glad to hear your opinion that the symptoms I've described are typical for failed ignition.
You folks on this forum are great and I truly appreciate your guidance with issues like this one that I just haven't seen before.

Re: 1986 Eldorado stalls under stress
From "Automotive Service" by Tim Gilles:
[CATS] can become plugged after running for a prolonged period of time with an ignition system defect. A rich air-fuel mixture can also result in a plugged converter when it overheats and melts internally...might also experience harsh or late shifts due to the resulting faulty vacuum signal or increased throttle pressure in the transmission.
By doing all the ignition system work, you will likely be correcting the problem which fouled your converter. Since you ran it for so long with the ignition system in such poor condition, I'd strongly recommend you replace both the oxygen sensor and the CAT.
If you don't have a vacuum gauge, MityVac sells a plastic one for around $35.
You can check for a restricted exhaust by using a vacuum gauge, too:
With engine at normal operating temperature:
Connect vacuum gauge to manifold vacuum source. Note in-Hg reading at idle. 16-22 in.-Hg is considered normal below 1000 ft.
Increase engine speed slowly to 1500 RPM, then release.
Note what happens to the gauge, not necessarily the value. It should return to the idle value quickly; you're looking for a delay.
The needle should also be steady. There is a page of vacuum gauge readings/interpretations in almost every service manual.
Snap the throttle open quickly--to 2000 RPM, then let it go, all while watching the gauge. Repeat as necessary.
A restricted exhaust is indicated if the needle returns slowly, or it "hunts" for the value first obtained at idle. There should be high vacuum available as soon as the ISC contacts the throttle (this is part of the emissions controls.)
Though an exhaust gas analyzer can tell you a lot about where to look for engine troubles, it is not an exact science so much as an interpretive one. Best to leave the MAP sensor for last. NickySantoro is dead on. (+ Karma UU, dude!) Only thing I'd add to his advice is: to put the new cap (oriented properly of course!) next to or even atop the old one. Pull the wires off one by one (i.e. CHANGE #1 plug, then pull off the old wire...attach the new wire to the new plug...) Then, attach the new wire to the new cap, checking as you go. Repeat for all the others. So long as you detach only one wire from one plug at a time, you can't get the wires mixed up. When you're finished, you'll just have to remove the old cap, change the rotor, and pop the new one back on. Make sure you gap those plugs properly too. When installing the new plugs, you can use either an old spark plug boot (you'll have plenty of those!) or a 6" length of 3/16" tubing as a wrench to get the threads started...
Having done all this, if the vacuum gauge test indicates a faulty CAT, once this is all done you should be back to normal...if not, THEN it's time to wonder about the MAP sensor. But I couldn't think of the vacuum gauge test in time or, for that matter, symptoms of clogged exhaust. Funny because I reconditioned a vehicle in '06 with the same problem. Time flies!

Edit: I don't think people are understanding what I'm asking. To reemphasize, my question is: why do we say $\forall a, b \geq 0, \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{ab}$, instead of just $\forall a, b \in \mathbb{R}, \sqrt{a} \cdot \sqrt{b} = \sqrt{ab}$

Sasha's Outfit
From Grand Theft Wiki
Revision as of 06:26, 23 September 2011 by MrLanceVanceDance (talk | contribs) (created a new article)
Sasha's Outfit is a purchasable outfit in Grand Theft Auto IV. As the name states, the outfit was originally worn by Sasha, a European sniper in the 2001 film Behind Enemy Lines, although it can be worn by Niko Bellic in Grand Theft Auto IV.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Sasha's Oufit makes an appearance in Grand Theft Auto IV. Niko Bellic can wear the outfit if he chooses. The outfit spawns in the Russian Shop as the Spyde Track Top in Navy. It can be purchased for $24. Unlike other Grand Theft Auto III Era games, changing into the Outfit DOES NOT remove a wanted level in Grand Theft Auto IV.

A number of buzzworthy investing ideas have caught on with fad-hungry investors in recent years. One hot area of late has been "cleantech" — the idea of companies that profit from cleaning up messy businesses or replacing pollution-intensive processes with innovative methods that dramatically reduce the environmental impact. The catch-all covers everything from water filtration companies to solar stocks.
It sounds like a sexy area, with big growth and no-brainer appeal as the world goes green … right?
Wrong. It turns out there ain't much money in cleantech despite all the purported appeal.
Take this recent report from BostInno about how Boston venture capitalists — as well as those elsewhere in the U.S. — continue to abandon cleantech. Author Walter Frick shows how 2012 investment in cleantech collapsed about 33%, and the momentum still is moving to the downside.
Click to Enlarge And check out this chart, showing VC investment sliding back to 2009 levels and threatening to plunge to a seven-year low in 2013.
The exodus has many reasons. But a short list includes:
Affordable "Dirty" Alternatives: Crude oil has only briefly crossed the $100 mark since the 2008 commodity crash, though we admittedly are approaching the century mark once again. However, natural gas remains at very affordable levels; and when old sources remain cost-effective, there's not as big of a push from a financial perspective to explore alternative energy. This analysis goes to other areas of cleantech, too. Consider ethanol, which got lots of bad press in 2012 thanks to sky-high corn prices. A recent report shows that corn-based biofuel is approaching parity with conventional gasoline prices. So if it's equal in cost and more troublesome to produce, how is it a better alternative for energy?
Legislative Headwinds: With the focus on spending cuts, cleantech incentives are on the chopping block big-time. Consider that the wind production tax credit barely squeaked out an extension in the fiscal cliff negotiations, and is hardly a guarantee beyond this year. That's not good for beginning-stage cleantech companies that rely on tax breaks and incentives to grow. This uncertainty goes for residential credits, which could entice homeowners to make purchases from green companies as well as direct business credits. And lest you think Congress will "invest in the future" by defending cleantech, remember that Solyndra remains a recent reminder of government largesse gone awry. There's also the obvious lack of a serious U.S. climate policy to bolster the industry.
Performance Is Ugly: If you want a more tangible reason that cleantech stocks are trouble, simply look at share prices. Recent IPOs include Solazyme (NASDAQ:SZYM), which has a technology system that turns algae into high-value oils. Despite high-profile partnerships with the likes of Dow Chemical (NYSE:DOW) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX), Solazyme stock is down 60% since its June 2011 offering. Another is Gevo (NASDAQ: GEVO), a company that develops biobased products that are an alternative to petroleum products. GEVO is down more than 85% since its February 2011 IPO. Then there are the more entrenched players that are bigger than startups but still struggling mightily. Solar supplier Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) has been pretty much dead money since mid-2009 and is off more than 30% from pre-recession levels, and solar "leader" First Solar (NASDAQ:FSLR) is down 85% in five years with no turnaround in sight.
I'm not saying there isn't a future for this sector. I hope that there is, for the sake of the environment. But why would you expect any of this to change in 2013 based on the current conditions and medium-term outlook?
Cleantech is a great buzzword but not a great investing thesis. As investors, we need to keep in mind that the next big thing is rarely ever as easy to invest in or as wildly profitable as the pundits want us to believe.
Think about the short-lived 2010-11 fad in rare earths, with Molycorp (NYSE:MCP) going from $20 to over $70 in less than a year … before crashing to the $10 range, where it sits now. Or further back, think about dot-com stocks that were "sure things" based on the way of the future.
There are many reasons to be skeptical of cleantech in 2013 … as well as "the cloud," "big data" and other fashionable sectors that will purportedly change the world and make you a millionaire overnight.

Many people are put off by haggis, the traditional ethnic food that many Scots consider to be the national dish of Scotland. You should not be: haggis is surprisingly tasty. And since it's National Soul Food Month, what better way is there to start than with the Scottish soul food extraordinaire: haggis.
What is haggis? Haggis is a well cleaned and emptied sheep stomach stuffed with oatmeal, onion, spices and various sheep bits-- what butchers and high end gourmet chefs refer to as "specialty meats." Think of haggis as type of sausage, which it is. Haggis is simmered in stock, and the delicious mixture is scooped out of its casing when serving.
Traditional accompaniments to haggis are "neeps and tatties"-- boiled and mashed rutabaga or swede (yellow turnips) and mashed potatoes. Every time I have had it, it was served with a tasty whisky sauce instead of gravy, although whisky sauce is optional and haggis can be served with a variety of side dishes.
These days, you can buy haggis premade and vacuum packed, and commercial casings are usually used in place of the traditional sheep stomach. You can even buy vegetarian haggis!
Over the centuries, haggis has been immortalized in fiction, movies, music and song. There are Scottish Haggis Hurling events, a haggis tossing entry in the Guinness Book of World Records. Celtic bands such as Enter the Haggis and Bad Haggis are proud to take their name from the humble Scottish dish.
Haggis has been immortalized in poetry, too: Robert Burns famous 1787 poem, Address to a Haggis, is read on Burns Night celebrations all over the world by homesick Scots on the great man's birthday, January 25. By the way: If you are ever invited to a Burns Night Supper, you should definitely accept.
Residents of the Dallas Metroplex do not have to wait for Robert Burns birthday to taste the glory that is haggis: The Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games is being held this weekend, June 4 – 6, 2010. Read my Texas Scottish Festival article for more information.
Below, you will find a short and very amusing YouTube video, The Haggis Song. It is followed by another short and hilarious instructional video: Cooking with Dave: Haggis.
Buy it local! Where to buy Haggis in the Dallas Metroplex.
Not everybody has the stomach to make their own haggis. Luckily, haggis lovers can buy a variety of authentic haggis lovingly prepared and ready to cook. Caledonian Kitchen is the premier supplier of Scottish foods in America-- and it's based right here in the Dallas Metroplex, in Lewisville, Texas. Caledonian Kitchen is also a sponsor of the Texas Scottish Festival & Highland Games being held on the UTA campus this weekend.

This is how we do it here at Rainbow Bearded Dragons. All babies and Juveniles that are sold were housed in clear Plastic Totes. If you are putting your new dragon in Glass cages, most of you will. Please cover the sides and back of the cage with white paper towels and just leave the front veiw uncovered. This will allow your new dragon to adjust faster. Please keep your new dragon in his cage for the first few days except for soaking and a few 5-10 minute handlings..This will help him adjust faster from relocation stress.
Can still pet him in his cage. New dragons need to stay calm and settle into his new home before a lot of handling. Settling in, relocation stress can take a few hours most cases to a couple weeks extreme cases. This is normal but mine start eating usually within a few hours of arrival. Eating will increase over the first week of arrival. Be sure to soak your new dragon on second day of arrival and NOT STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. Can soak on first day if weather is hot in your area to hydrate the dragon from shipping and stress later on in the day.
When dragon arrives unbox and place in warm cage with greens and start feeding cricket about 30 minutes later, no meal worms ever. Follow Care and Cage setup instructions below and Enjoy your New Dragon.
Please DO NOT USE COIL UV BULBS ! They are makeing them to strong and they are Burning the Dragons eyes. Breeders are aware of the problem but most of the public are NOT AWARE. If you are using coil UV Bulbs and your dragon doesn't want to bask and has it's eyes closed all the time it's eyes got BURNED. Take out the coil Bulb and replace with the tube type UV Bulbs. Provide the dragon with a hiding spot so it can get out of the UV altogether and let it's eyes heal. It won't be able to see, so you might have to hand feed the dragon . keep the dragon hydrated by soaking the dragon every other day until healed, around 5 days.
Some basic cage set ups for adults.Their Red bricks haven't gone in yet for basking platforms. Aluminum Foil is wrapped around plastic UV housing to protect from the UV light which will cause the plastic to break down and omit fumes..
We use Reptiglo 10.0 UV Bulbs which provide 33% UVA and 10% UVB which I've found is all they need.. Also I use 10 inch domes for heat. The 10 inch domes allow more heat to come down. Add a higher wattage bulb for more heat, less wattage for lower Temp.s Start with a 100 watt bulb for a 40 gal reptile cage with a screen top and go from there. Please don't guess at the temperatures in your cage. Check with a reptile thermometer or Temperature gun to check heat. Temp.s should be around 105 degrees under the basking light and 80-85 on the cool side of the cage. Check basking temp. in the beam of light on the BOTTOM of the cage, not side of cage.
Dragons need to regulate their body temperature and need a cool side as well as a hot... These temperatures are for all size dragons and all size cages... Their lights are on a timer here and come on at 10 am , off at 10 pm which is 12 hours a day...Make sure lights are coming on and going off the same time everyday. Dragons need a set routine.. Do all of your heating from above. No Heat Rocks or heating pads under dragons.
Please don't put dragons under 12 inches in anything smaller than a 20 long REPTILE cage. Do not use a 20 gal aquarium. They are to small and hard to get heat correct in them. Dragons over 8 inches can go straight into a 40 gal reptile cage with no problem. A 40 gal reptile cage will house ONE adult dragon..
Night Time Heat
Okay I get asked this a lot so here it is...Dragons will not need any night time heat unless your home is below 68 degrees at night. This means no lights of any kind or any type of under tank heater. If your house does go below that can use a red bulb sold at pet stores for night time heat. Only need the temp to be around 70-74 degrees IN THE CAGE FOR NIGHT TIME TEMPS. NOT 80'S or 90'S Dragons need to cool at night to stay healthy.
We use paper towels in the baby and juveniles bins . Newspaper and paper towels in our Adult cages. Start your Babies off in a 20 long reptile cage or a 40 gal breeder cage. Paper just needs to go down the middle of the cage and tape the paper down to hold in place. This allows for quick cleaning and a place for crickets to run so dragons can see them to eat. Leave about an inch or two around the paper for the crickets to run around paper and not hide.
Growing dragons need to be feed crickets everyday. No Limit On Crickets Or Greens. They can have as many as they want.Also no time limit on eating! Under feeding will stunt their growth as well as not soaking the dragon weekly.Feed the New dragons in the cage they are housed in...This is how they are used to eating here.Clean cage first before feeding. Putting them in different cages to eat isn't necessary and will only stress the new dragon out more. So please don't do this. They won't eat that way.Also need to increase the size of the crickets as the Dragon grows,very important for proper growth.
Under no conditions should you house a dragon under 14 inches on Sand and NEVER USE WALNUT SHELLS . Walnut shells are like rocks and can't be digested. This will kill a small dragon quicker than anything. I can't stress this enough, use paper or reptile carpet ONLY. Keep it bare as crickets like to hide and come out at night to nibble on your dragon. Never have something a NEW DRAGON can hide in or under in the new cage. I want the dragon to adjust .Hiding will only make the dragon more timid and will take a lot longer to adjust. HIDING IS A BIG NO NO...
We feed greens in the morning. . No water bowls are needed in the cage or misting. My dragons aren't used to and don't get misted here. They get soaked.
Feed bugs in the afternoon and evening. Be sure to dust your crickets with calcium that has D3 in it the first feeding of crickets everyday..The rest of the day don't need to be dusted.
Babies up to 10 months of age need calcium Daily with D3 in it as they are still growing. . A few times a week for older dragons. We use Zoo med calcium with D3 because they are indoor dragons. The Zoo med calcium seem to stick better to the insects... and Repcal Herptivite a multivitamin twice a week. Soak your Dragon in warm water to drink and hydrate once or twice a week for 10-20 min. I do not recommend more than that.They are not water dragons LOL. Dragons will drink from their bath water at bath time. This is perfectly fine and good for your dragon. If it poops however in the water , Drain it out and put fresh warm water in.
Keep your dragon and cages clean and your dragon will stay healthy. Dragons do need to be fecal checked by a vet. at around 10-12 months of age and will need their first worming then if needed. I don't recommend worming a dragon younger than that unless the dragon has been sick and ordered by a vet.
If you Still feel you want to use sand after they have adjusted a couple months to their new home and cage and have reached 14 inches you can do so... But it will not be as healthy for the dragon as paper. There is no way you can get all the fecal out of the sand and the dragon will ingest this when it is eating and catching insects. Will also be breathing in the dust from the sand and ammonia from the fecal waste and so will you! NOT GOOD!
Please be sure to feed you new dragon the right sized food. Greens and insects should NOT BE BIGGER THAN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE DRAGONS EYES WIDITH WISE. The dragon can choke on large food items OR GET IMPACTED. Babies and Juveniles are fed 60 % Mustard greens , 20 % Collard greens cut very thin with 20 % grated yellow squash with peel on all mixed together...
Babies eat Lots of crickets, NO MEAL WORMS ever. They can get impacted and die on those things. We don't feed meal worms at all here . If you still have any questions feel free to ask. Better to be safe than Sorry.
How To House And Care For Crickets
Hungry Lizard is a great place to buy crickets from that DOES NOT HAVE THE CRICKET VIRUS! This is the some place I get my brown crickets from. They are very friendly and have great customer service. Crickets always come in alive, healthy and with a good count. Their web site is below.
Buying your crickets from a cricket breeder will be much cheaper then a pet store. You will need at least a 18 gal tote from Target or Wal-Mart whatever you have around in your area. Put some holes in the lid of the tote or leave it off all together. Don't worry they can't climb the side of the tote as long as it is smooth.
Crickets will be delivered in a box with egg crate. Open box and dump crickets and egg crate into the tote you bought.Lean the egg crate against the side of the tote for cricket to climb on. Try to keep crickets in a warm place such as your reptile room. Feed crickets a good nutritious food and water gel. We use Organic chicken layer crumbles here. It's healthy , cheap and lasts a long time. Make sure to buy the Chicken laying crumbles and not the pellets. Pellets are to big for the crickets.
Place empty paper towel rolls or toilet paper rolls in a couple corners to get the crickets out and into your dusting bag. Crickets will crawl up into the rolls and you just shake the rolls into your bag to get the crickets out. Make sure to Dust your crickets with calcium D3 and multi vitamins as needed.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) - Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic are completing their improbable migration from communist dictatorships tied to the Soviet Union to full-fledged democratic members of the U.S.-led NATO alliance.
The accession of the former Warsaw Pact members into NATO was taking place at a ceremony today at the Harry S. Truman Library in Independence. It was during the Truman presidency that the North Atlantic Treaty Organization was founded on April 4, 1949, just under 50 years ago.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was presiding at the ceremony, joined by the foreign ministers of the three countries. The festivities carry special significance for Albright, a daughter of Czechoslovakia who as a child fled her native land twice, first to escape the Nazis and later the communists.
There were 12 original members of NATO at the time of its founding. Since 1949, it has been expanded to include Greece and Turkey in 1952, Germany in 1955 and Spain in 1982. The new additions bring the total to 19 and many other hopefuls are waiting in the wings: Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
Just what NATO will do with these eager applicants is not clear. The issue is expected to dominate a NATO summit set for Washington in April.
NATO's mission has changed dramatically since its founding in 1949, a time when the West was intent on halting the westward spread of Soviet-led communism - a threat Winston Churchill warned about in his famous "Iron Curtain" speech delivered on March 5, 1946, at Westminster College in Fulton, Mo., 130 miles east of here.
Now the alliance's mission is more ill-defined. NATO warplanes helped end the war in Bosnia almost four years ago and now are poised to intervene in Yugoslavia should peace efforts in the province of Kosovo fail.
A decade ago, the military planning of Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic was built around the possibility of a ground assault toward the west. As NATO allies, the goal is much smaller armies capable of meeting a variety of contingencies.
The State Department says the three new members "enhance NATO's ability to fulfill its core mission of collective defense, respond to a range of security challenges and reduce the possibility of another major conflict in Europe of the kind that has claimed so many American lives."
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana says, "The accession of the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland ... is perhaps the clearest demonstration of the fact that Europe is growing closer together."

Brandon Knight tells ESPN he definitely got punched by Metta World Peace. He thinks the punishment given to World Peace isn't severe enough, a flagrant foul, the first for the season.
The play needs to be reviewed because he definitely threw a punch," Knight told reporters after the game. "It felt like he threw a punch. That's why I reacted the way I did.
"The play was over and he grabbed me around the neck. If someone grabs you around the neck, you're not just going to let that happen. You do what you need to get that person off you."
World Peace on Knight:
"He's a small guy," World Peace said after finishing with eight points and nine rebounds in the win. "(Knight) was trying his hardest to keep me off him. He worked hard, man. That kid, I don't know where he's from, I don't know what school he went to, because he was guarding me and I was crashing the boards. He's a tough kid, man. He tried to keep me off the glass and he did a good job. That's all I can say. He's a tough kid, very great. He's a tough point guard or shooting guard or whatever he is."

Ten Tips for Getting More Plant-Based Foods in Your Diet
Sneak veggies and herbs into your egg dishes
You can use vegetables to add tons of flavor and texture to the most basic egg dishes, such as scrambled eggs. Chop up fresh tomatoes (okay, those are technically a fruit), fresh spinach, onions, or even zucchini. If you have leftover steamed veggies, they're perfect to throw into an egg dish the next morning.

Camenisch, G; Tini, M; Chilov, D; Kvietikova, I; Srinivas, V; Caro, J; Spielmann, P; Wenger, R H; Gassmann, M (1999). General applicability of chicken egg yolk antibodies: the performance of IgY immunoglobulins raised against the hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha. FASEB Journal, 13(1):81-88.
Avian embryos and neonates acquire passive immunity by transferring maternal immunoglobulins from serum to egg yolk. Despite being a convenient source of antibodies, egg yolk immunoglobulins (IgY) from immunized hens have so far received scant attention in research. Here we report the generation and rapid isolation of IgY from the egg yolk of hens immunized against the alpha subunit of the human hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1alpha). Anti-HIF-1alpha IgY antibodies were affinity purified and tested for their performance in various applications. Abundant HIF-1alpha protein was detected by Western blot analysis in nuclear extracts derived from hypoxic cells of human, mouse, monkey, swine, and dog origin whereas in hypoxic quail and frog cells, the HIF-1alpha signal was weak or absent, respectively. In electrophoretic mobility shift assays, affinity-purified IgY antibody was shown to recognize the native HIF-1 (but not the related HIF-2) complex that specifically binds an oligonucleotide containing the HIF-1 DNA binding site. Furthermore, IgY antibody immunoprecipitated HIF-1alpha from hypoxic cell extracts. Immunofluorescence experiments using IgY antibody allowed the detection of HIF-1alpha in the nucleus of hypoxic COS-7 cells. For comparison, the application of a mouse monoclonal antibody raised against the identical HIF-1alpha fragment was more restricted. Because chicken housing is inexpensive, egg collection is noninvasive, isolation and affinity purification of IgY antibodies are fast and simple, and the applicability of IgY is widespread, immunization of hens represents an excellent alternative for the generation of polyclonal antibodies.

Disease Proof
Omega-3 fatty acids - do they increase or decrease prostate cancer risk?
A study produced confusing results. It found that a higher blood concentration of omega-3 fatty acids was associated with increased risk of high-grade prostate cancer, and a higher concentration of trans-fats was associated with decreased risk.1 These men were not supplementing with liquid fish oil, so it can be assumed that the blood levels represented fish intake. So should men still take omega-3 supplements? We know that DHA is good for the heart and the brain, but is it really bad for the prostate? What about trans-fats – how could more of this unhealthy fat possibly be beneficial for the prostate?
When we look more closely, we can see that this one study should not dictate major changes in our view of a cancer-preventive lifestyle. Read the entire article on DrFuhrman.com.
High fish consumption/blood omega-3s increase risk in some studies, decrease risk in others
- In a 2010 meta-analysis of 31 studies, the risks of prostate cancer diagnosis calculated for high fish consumption ranged from a 61% decrease in risk to a 77% increase in risk, and several showed no significant differences in risk at all.
- In the same meta-analysis, pooled data from four studies on fish consumption and death from prostate cancer (rather than diagnosis of prostate cancer) found a 63% decrease in risk for high fish consumption. 2
- A meta-analysis of studies on ALA intake (the omega-3 in plant foods like flax, hemp, chia, and walnuts, and small amounts in leafy greens) concluded that there was a small but significant decrease in risk (5%) for men consuming more than 1.5 grams of ALA per day.3
- At least 15 studies have used blood concentrations of omega-3 fatty acids as a measure of omega-3 intake. Some studies reported increased risk, some decreased risk, and some no effect.
Remember when looking at fish intake, we are not looking at omega-3 intake alone.
Fish are rich in omega-3s, but they also contain a significant amount of animal protein and accumulated environmental pollutants, both of which have been linked to prostate cancer. 4-7 Sufficient research has not been done on omega-3 supplements and prostate cancer to make any conclusions.
If we were to conclude anything from all the studies available on this subject it would be that fish and omega-3 fats in general do not have a major impact on this disease, but the inconsistency and widely differing results suggest regional variation in pollutant levels in the fish consumed.
Trans-fats and blood levels; more confusion in the midst.
Before you start eating Twinkies and French Fries fried in trans fat for their prostate cancer protection, let's consider the possibility that after consuming trans fats (trans fats are man-made fat, already linked with cancer in multiple studies), those inflammatory fats are either burned, removed or stored in the body. Their levels may fluctuate abnormally because of having cancer. Therefore the high omega-3 and low trans fat blood levels in this study could be early signs of developing cancer, not the cause of it. Also, three previous studies on either trans-fat intake or blood trans-fats have found increased risk of prostate cancer.8-10
Should men still take omega-3 supplements?
Remember that omega-3s are essential fatty acids – the body cannot make them if we don't get them from our diet. A deficiency of nutrients the body requires is never favorable for health, but more than needed may not be better when it comes to omega-3 fatty acids. I still recommend omega-3 sufficiency, which can be achieved with 100-200 mg/day of DHA plus 1 tbsp. of ground flaxseed for ALA. Almost all nutrients can be harmful in deficiency or excess.

I find all supplements make me a bit nervous.
My fish oil has 400 EPA and 200 DHA, I may restrict this to every other day soon since I have been taking it regularly for a while now.
I worry that something like this will be reported for Vitamin D soon, since recommendations for D have increased so substantially.
The studies also were based of acute prostate cancer vs severe. Severe was affected by omega 3s as for acute were not. Plus their also been recent studies showing that non fish eaters who consume the other Omega 3s were able to convert inside the body and end up with similar or more levels of omega 3s in the form of DHA and EPA. I think the body is pretty resilient at getting what it needs from food. The issue is scaring people about omega 3s is not a good thing but also people need to look further into the studies instead of just reading the headlines. http://www.pcrm.org/news/archive101115.html
GorillaFit - Dr. Fuhrman goes into more detail about this study, and the differences in risk of different prostate cancer grades in the full article if you are interested in reading it: http://www.drfuhrman.com/library/omega3_cancer_risk.aspx
Note that the study PCRM reports on in claiming that DHA is adequate in non-supplementing vegans only included 5 vegan men and 5 vegan women in the whole study (of about 2500 people total). This is not a sufficient number of participants to establish anything and my clinical findings that these levels drop too low most often with elderly males was not contradicted. This single study does suggest that those who don't eat fish may have enhanced conversion of omega-3s, but vegan men still had lower DHA levels than men who ate fish. This study certainly does not prove that vegans should go without a DHA supplement. There is a significant amount of evidence that DHA supplementation is beneficial for later life brain health and that individuals have varying needs to do so. I am being conservative and scientific in my precautionary advice here, until more definitive evidence becomes available.
So why do populations with high omega-3 intake not have a signifigant increase in prostate cancer risk ?

The ever increasing prices of crude oil and gas have adversely affected the major oil and gas producing companies like Shell and Exxon Mobil in the aftermath of oil crisis. The Exxon Mobil is reportedly enduring oil shortage and is exploring alternated sources of procurement of crude oil and gas.
The world`s largest publicly traded oil company Exxon Mobil Corporation is banking upon Kearl and 20 other newly started projects to give boost to its collapsing oil and gas production. Recently, its production dropped to a lower level than the sinking figures of last three years.
Reportedly, this company functioning by market capitalisation will commence its project of lifting mountains of oil-rich sands in the forested plains of Alberta in the coming month. The gigantic mechanical trowels will start lifting tons of oil-rich sands and filling them in to three story high garbage trucks. These dump trucks will carry this sand to Kearl oil-sands-processing facility constructed with an investment of $11 billion. At Kearl facility the Canadian crude oil will be sieved out from this oil-rich sand of Alberta and feed the starving Exxon Mobil Corporation with up to 170,000 barrels of crude oil per day for times to come.

- Company: Engineered Garments
- Price: $75
- Official Site: EngineeredGarments.com
The Far East still holds a great deal of mystique from a Western perspective. However, the same wonder and interest can come from the other side as well. Japanese designer Daiki Suzuki grew up with a fascination for the American way of life and the unique way in which fashion is fused with utility. Visions of amber waves of grain drew Suzuki stateside where the now 46-year-old is heading up his own label, Engineered Garments. The austere name was concocted by the first pattern maker used by Suzuki who believed that the detail in each piece was more reminiscent of engineering than everyday designing. Perhaps that's an appropriate moniker for clothing that has a uniquely industrial look to it. Suzuki's flannel scarf, in a soft violet, is simple yet stylish and probably the kind of purple mountain majesty he dreamed of as a child.
Despite what your pilling scarf from college is telling you, there are fashion trends in the world of men's scarves. In fact, wearing the right scarf is the easiest way to separate yourself as a man among the boys, and this plaid number should help form a comfortable buffer. Instead of a Christmas-y color combo, Suzuki used purple and made it extra fat, too. The 18-inch width makes it perfect for looser draping. That's exactly the kind of casual, lived-in look that Suzuki intended for the wearer. The Engineered Garments Flannel Scarf is ideal for jeans and T-shirts or, with apologies to Suzuki, even a crisp suit.
Despite the latest movement toward American workwear, there is a gaping void in the market for something affordable that doesn't require sifting through cardboard boxes at a thrift store or bartering with a trucker. Engineered Garments feeds the need with this scarf at just $75. While purple is a color that most guys still feel carries a stigma going all the way back to their days playing in the sandbox, it is actually one of the most flattering and easiest to wear. Purple pairs with nearly everything and provides that eye-catching element every look needs. Suzuki's Americana vision may have oddly enough been born in Japan, but this scarf was fittingly made in the U.S. -- in 100% wool -- without anything lost in translation.

Green-News: Wednesday 3.11.09
- Cow farts, pig farts and human farts are all sources of greenhouse gas, but snails, yes itty-bitty snails, may be worse. Freshwater snails break down soil, releasing nitrous oxide, i.e. laughing gas, which is 310 times better at trapping heat than carbon dioxide; DiscoBlog explains.
- Ocean acidification due to climate change is thinning the shells of tiny sea organisms, jeopardizing their long term survival. Despite their miniature size these animals absorb tremendous amounts of carbon from the atmosphere. They're shells are made of carbon and when they die the shell sinks to the bottom of the ocean and so does all the carbon; the AFP investigates.
- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton believes the United States has been negligent in living up to our responsibilities on global warming. We're lagging behind Europe and the U.S. needs better policies with China, which recently overtook us as the world's leading emitter of carbon dioxide; Reuters reports.
- India, despite its own problems, has offered to help the United States with climate change. Since signing a nuclear energy deal with former U.S. president George Bush, Indian Ambassador Ronen Sen insists the United States and India have shared concerns on climate policy, more than any other two countries; via the AFP.
- Climate scientists evaluate the dangers of climate change with very specific criteria, including damage to ecosystems, extreme weather events, and health and economic risks, and after considering all these, experts claim earth may be entering a climate danger zone; NewScientist investigates.
- Prince Charles is beating his own eco-drum, during a visit to Chile he'll be making a speech calling for action against climate change, arguing we only have "100 months left" to save the planet. Then later in the week he'll visit the world's biggest rainforest and to meet with local tribes; the AFP reports.

Skyrim, Super Mario 3D Land, Saints Row: The Third, Need for Speed: The Run, Halo Anniversary, Ultimate Marvel vs Capcom 3, Assassin's Creed Revelations, Jurassic Park – The Game, and Rayman Origins, just to name a few. We talk about three of these games (all of which are incredibly good). Listen in to find out which ones.
[audio:http://blip.tv/file/get/The72pins-Episode46448.mp3|titles=Episode 46: Too Many Games]
This video contains "explosive magic spells and brutal combat" which sounds pretty good to me. Check out this video to see what sort of violence you'll be able to perform in just two days.
In just three days, you can experience Skyrim's world for yourself, but if you can't wait that long, this new video will help tide you over (albeit in a very small way). Learn about the world, the characters, and check out a handful of incredibly scenic locations after the break.
What's the biggest improvement from Oblivion to Skyrim? The graphics? The interactivity? The Dragons? I say no. Instead it's the voice acting, and more specifically the fact that Skyrim will have roughly 70 voice actors as opposed to Oblivion's voice cast of Patrick Stewart, generic awful male, and generic awful female. This video, as you can probably guess from the title, details the work that's going into Skyrim's much improved voice acting, music, and general sound design. It's an interesting watch that clocks in at roughly seven minutes, and you can check it out after the break.
Behind the Wall: The Making of Skyrim: The Trailer
Want to watch an in depth behind the scenes look at the making of Skyrim? I know I do, but unfortunately this isn't it. Rather, this is a trailer for the video that you'll get if you pre-order the collector's edition version of the game (which you can do right here). That being said, this nearly 3 minute video does contain a few bits of the game that we haven't seen before, and gives away a tiny sample of the behind the scenes goodness for free. Check it out and ponder whether or not the collector's edition is worth your 150 bucks after the break.
Two weeks to go until 11-11-11 and I couldn't be more excited. This video shows us the concepts, then follows with the real thing – all set to an epic background song (which will be in the game). I highly recommend that you check it out as you wait for Skyrim's imminent release.
This latest trailer for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is here to show you one thing: a badass dude facing off against a dragon – in live action. Now before you get too excited, he doesn't actually fight the dragon, it's just a face off, but nonetheless, it's Skyrim, and every new Skyrim video means we have to figure out the current countdown until 11-11-11. It's just 18 days, and then the countdown to 100 percenting the game kicks off. For most people, I'd say that should be quite a bit longer.
Check out the video after the break.

Demonstrating Berea College's long-standing commitment to sustainability, Berea College and New Forests announced today the successful listing of the Berea College Forest Carbon Project with California's Climate Action Reserve Program. Through the Berea College Improved Forest Management Project, carbon offset credits can be used for compliance in the Air Resources Board of California's greenhouse gas cap and trade program.
The project encompasses the College's Oak-Hickory and Oak-Pine forest near Berea, Kentucky. By registering the Improved Forest Management project and selling carbon offsets in the California cap and trade system, Berea College will make a commitment to maintain current forest carbon stocks and manage the forest for both increased carbon sequestration and sustainable timber production. The project will have the combined benefit of generating significant revenue for Berea College and assisting in the protection of the College's forest for future generations. It will also serve as an example of an environmentally-friendly alternative revenue stream that other Appalachian forest owners can investigate for their own property.

Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 22min
At the turn of the century, instead of responding to lynchings of African Americans with peaceful protests, Marcus Garvey was determined to aggressively unify black people around the world and build an independent black nation. Despite accusations of fiscal mismanagement, Garvey established the Universal Negro Improvement Association and traveled the nation attracting thousands of members to the military-decorated ranks of its African Legion. Accusing black leaders such as W. E. B. DuBois and A. Phillip Randolph of being weak and self-serving, Garvey aggressively focused on empowering the masses as he transformed cooks, maids, and janitors with the pride that comes with a title and a uniform. Garvey instituted a new nationalism urging black folk to claim Africa's glorious past and to see, for the first time, the beauty they possessed.

Layups: R.I.P. John Brattain
Posted by Neil Paine on March 26, 2009
John Brattain didn't write about basketball. Rather, baseball was his specialty, and few people brought as sharp a wit to the blogosphere as he did in his analysis of the American Pastime.
But now comes the terrible news that John passed away this week, at the age of 44.
As someone who recently experienced a loss on this level, I know that there are few words I can type to make things better for John's wife and children. Besides, plenty of writers better than me have written fine appreciations of John's life and his work.
So from all of us at Sports Reference, I simply wanted to offer our heartfelt condolences and prayers to his family during this time of grief. I hope his wife and daughters know that many people all over the world are thinking of and praying for them right now, and I hope knowing that gives them some small measure of comfort (just as it did for me several months ago).
R.I.P. John. He will be missed.
