WASHINGTON, D.C. — Speaking at a union-organized rally in Milwaukee on Monday, President Obama called for a $50-billion surge in spending on the nation's roads, runways and railroads. The $50-billion plan amounted to roughly half of what was allocated to infrastructure in last year's stimulus package, according to a Los Angeles Times report. Officials said the proposal project would build on the work already begun.
"We at Building America's Future believe it is critical that our country not only fix our aging roads and bridges, but also modernize our airports and invest in high speed rail," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg (I-N.Y.), co-chair of Building America's Future. "President Obama is right to focus now on long-term infrastructure investments. The challenge is to find the money, and we look forward to helping with that."
Added James Corless, director of Transportation for America: "While the 'front-loading' of a new transportation authorization will put many thousands of Americans to work over the next couple of years, this should not be seen as a mere short-term stimulus. This kind of aggressive, multi-year construction and rehabilitation effort is fundamental to the long-term health of our economy. The alternative is gridlocked cities, stranded rural residents, hampered freight delivery and continued over-reliance on increasingly hard-to-get oil supplies.

Really nothing special .
For that price and reviews I expected more .
Their best pizza Champion du Monde was good , but nothing more !
The staff was good and fast.
Good crispy pizza, nice atmosphere! If you wish pasta, you can visit their other restaurant, in same street. Nice waiters. Lovely wine (we had tghe montepulciano). For 2 glasses of wine, foccacia, and 2 pizzas we paid €47
We were one of the first to sit down at a table. After our anti pasti we saw people receiving their pizza and even people leaving and we still had no pizza. We asked the waiter, who hardly spoke any English, and it appeared they forgot about out order.
The pizza was great, nice crust and great taste. We had...
Great Italian pizzeria in old Lille, where you can choose to have your pizza bianco (without tomatoes) or Rouges (with).
I sat outside as the weather was balmy and had the Pizza Rocco di Albi( mozzarella,Robiola cheese, fresh saussage meat,rosemary and olives)
It wasdivine, the crust so light, unlike the heavy, thick ones in UK and had a good proportion...
My husband and I decided to check out this jewel of a restaurant on our holiday and suffice to say, it was not disappointing one bit! We ordered the focaccia, which was served to us as a flat bread instead of the original fluffy focaccia bread (the only surprising thing), the Lolo pizza and tiramisu. The dishes were simply out...
A really nice place, a bit hidden. You can sit outside, which is really nice during summer. Staff is friendly. You can choose rather unusual toppings for your pizza. The pizza's are served swiftly and are made the way they should be.
I was here after a long walk in Old Town, it was really nice place to chill. Actually I wanted to have only coffee and dessert but waitress (cute English-speaking girl!) said it is impossible without ordering main dish (pizza or something else). Probably I'm not experienced traveler but this is new rule for me, I've never heard it before....
We called in on spec on a chilly Sunday lunchtime - the restaurant was busy but they found us a table upstairs. Service was good, swift and friendly. Pizzas were fabulous - the crust was delicious and just the right ratio of topping. Price was reasonable and I would highly recommend this restaurant for an authentic and delicious pizza..
Stumbled upon this restaurant for our last lunch as we were getting a bit tired of rich French food. It was a packed Saturday and we were lucky to get a table.
All staff are Italian which gives a really authentic edge to the place. The lady next to us was disappointed that there was no pasta, just pizza -...
Ate Weds evening 8.30pm, right opposite our accommodation, but were disappointed! Main door closed, re- directing customers to door nearest kitchen. Met by overwhelming heat/ smoke of kitchen and just chefs looking at us, no greeting. Directed upstairs to full restaurant, last table, very noisy and popular ( but tables v clise and almost shouting at one another). Absolutely no...

Walkers who want to show support for a good cause should mark Sunday, May 6, on their calendars. That's the day of the fourth annual Walk MS in Hastings. Walk MS is hosted by the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and serves as a fundraiser to support research and programs for people living with multiple sclerosis. "Walk MS in Hastings is our big walk event," said Michelle Leppert, marketing and public relations coordinator for Walk MS. There are two routes for this year's event. Walkers can choose to walk one mile or seven miles.
A house, garage, pickup truck and camper were destroyed in a fire in the 1300 block of West 17th Street Monday morning. Hastings firefighters were just finishing work at an earlier fire along Highway 55 near Emerald Greens Golf Course when the house fire started, Fire and EMS Director Mike Schutt said. "Just as we were pulling away from that fire, we could see the smoke from this fire," he said. Based on the initial information, Schutt immediately called for mutual aid from Prescott, Cottage Grove and Miesville. The 17th Street fire, reported at 11:25 a.m.
It was Josh Wagner's first year of college at St. Cloud State University. He was playing intramural sports when he first noticed the pain in his right leg. Months later he would find out that at the age of 20, he had cancer. When the pain started, Wagner figured it was just something sports related. He had played sports at Hastings High School and kept active in intramurals, so aches and pains were nothing new to him. He took some painkillers, and the pain went away for the summer. The following fall, he switched schools and started attending at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.
Monday, April 9 Two vehicles collided at the intersection of 10th and Vermillion streets at 3:31 p.m. One rear-ended the other. Four people reported some injuries after a three-vehicle crash at the intersection of 160th Street and Pleasant Drive at 9:09 p.m. Keegan McIntosh, 18 of Hastings, was making a left turn from eastbound 160th Street and failed to see an oncoming vehicle. He struck the vehicle, spun from the impact and struck a third vehicle. The second vehicle also struck the third vehicle and caught fire. The fire was extinguished by the time police arrived at the scene.
Since last fall, Randy and Don Stenger have been working to get their big patch of dirt ready for new customers to dig up. This past weekend, the brothers opened their new business, Extreme Sandbox . Extreme Sandbox really is a giant sandbox. It's surrounded on three sides by a grassy berm. It's filled with deep sandy soil. There are toys - big ones. Kristina Mauersberger and her husband Tim Anderson of St. Paul were the first to play in the dirt.
Monday, April 2 Two vehicles were involved in a minor collision at 7:27 a.m. April 2 at the intersection of Red Wing Boulevard and Vermillion Street. One vehicle rear-ended another. Thursday, April 5 Police and emergency medical personnel responded to a single vehicle crash at 5:04 a.m. April 5 in the 300 block of West 33rd Street. Shannon Kadlec, 37 of Hastings, struck a fire hydrant with her vehicle. Kadlec told police she thought an oncoming vehicle was in her lane, so she moved over but went off the road.
Tuesday, March 27 A two-vehicle crash was reported at 11:53 a.m. March 27 at the intersection of 10th and Vermillion streets. A Welch man rear-ended the vehicle in front of him while trying to move into the intersection. He told police he didn't see the vehicle in front of him stop. There was minor damage. Wednesday, March 28 Firefighters responded to a report of a downed power line in the 800 block of East Second Street at 9:23 p.m. March 28. Responders notified Xcel Energy. Saturday, March 31 An employee at Walmart hit a natural gas line with a fork lift at 1:48 a.m. March 31.
The water from your faucets may turn reddish brown, but it's nothing to be concerned about. This spring, the City of Hastings will be flushing every single fire hydrant in the city, inspecting them and making any repairs needed. Flushing water through the hydrants serves two purposes. The first is cleaning. Over time, iron deposits tend to settle in the water pipes and collect on the walls, explained Public Works Superintendent Mark Peine and Fire and EMS Director Mike Schutt.
For John Blaha and his wife, Katie, it was time to move. Currently living in an apartment in Farmington, the couple was ready to upgrade and buy their own home. On April 18, they'll get to start moving to their new home in Hastings - one of four new houses under construction here. It's the Blahas' first home.
A crash between a loaded semi-trailer and a full-sized pickup last Thursday evening was cause for a medical rescue, fire suppression and hazardous material management all at the same time. The semi, which was driving northbound on Highway 52, struck a full-sized pickup that crossed the highway in front of it. According to the Minnesota State Patrol report, James Mike, 53 of Hastings, was eastbound on 200th Street (County Road 66) and failed to yield for traffic on Highway 52.

Chemokines are involved in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis by promoting directed migration of inflammatory cells. Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), a CC chemokine, has been detected in atherosclerotic lesions by anti-MCP-1 antibody detection [1] and in situ hybridization [2, 3]. MCP-1 mRNA expression has been detected in endothelial cells, macrophages and vascular smooth muscle cells in atherosclerotic arteries of patients undergoing bypass revascularization [4]. MCP-1 functions in the development of atherosclerosis by recruiting monocytes into the subendothelial cell layer (Fig. 1) [5, 6].
MCP-1 is critical for the initiation and development of atherosclerotic lesions. During the progression of atherosclerosis, there is an accumulation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) within macrophages and monocytes present in the intimal layer. Deposition of lipids within these cells leads to the formation and eventual enlargement of atherosclerotic lesions. Gu et al. [7] fed a high cholesterol diet to mice deficient in LDL that also expressed either wild type MCP-1 or were MCP-1-deficient. The LDL-/MCP-1-deficient mice deposited less lipids and had fewer macrophages present within their aortic walls. In a similar study, Boring et al. [8] noted an overall decrease in atherosclerotic lesion size in mice deficient for the MCP-1 receptor, CCR2. Significantly fewer macrophages and monocytes were present in the aortas of CCR2-deficient mice and the overall plasma cholesterol levels were unaffected by the CCR2 genotype. Collectively, these two studies suggest a non-cholesterol-mediated effect of MCP-1 in the development of atherosclerotic lesions. MCP-1 plays a crucial role in initiating atherosclerosis by recruiting macrophages and monocytes to the vessel wall. Development of therapeutic drugs for atherosclerosis specifically targeted against MCP-1 and/or its receptor, CCR2, may prove useful in the prevention of atherosclerotic lesion development.

We investigated multiple paternity and sperm precedence in the Amarillo fish, Girardinichthys multiradiatus (Goodeidae). We allowed females to mate with two different-sized males consecutively and assessed the paternity of the ensuing broods using allozyme electrophoresis. We presented one-half of the females the larger, and the other half the smaller, male first. Allozyme variation among individuals was low, yielding conservative estimates of multiple paternity. Half the broods were of mixed paternity, but one male always sired more than 70% of the embryos in each brood. The proportion of the brood sired was not related to mating sequence, but when we classified males by relative size, the larger male of each pair usually fathered greater proportions of offspring than the smaller male. This association disappeared when we used the actual size of the males in the analysis. Instead, for any pair of males, the difference in number of offspring sired was correlated to differences in the rate of courtship displays, rather than size differences, suggesting that courtship intensity is a better predictor of paternity than male size. Within a pair, the larger male usually displayed more than the smaller one, but there was no correlation between male size and display rate across all males. Parsimony suggests a correlation between courtship rate and sperm production, but we cannot rule out the possibility that females allocate paternity according to the relative merits of the males.

Cartilage (Bovine and Shark) (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Health Professional Information [NCI] - History
The therapeutic potential of cartilage has been investigated for more than 30 years. As noted previously (refer to the General Information section of this summary for more information), cartilage products have been tested as treatments for people with cancer, psoriasis, and arthritis. Cartilage products have also been studied as enhancers of wound repair and as treatments for people with osteoporosis, ulcerative colitis, regional enteritis, acne, scleroderma, hemorrhoids, severe anal itching, and the dermatitis caused by poison oak and poison ivy.[1,2,3,4,5]
Early studies of cartilage's therapeutic potential utilized extracts of bovine (cow) cartilage. The ability of these extracts to suppress inflammation was first described in the early 1960s.[1] The first report that bovine cartilage contains at least one angiogenesis inhibitor was published in the mid-1970s.[6] The use of bovine cartilage extracts to treat patients with cancer and the ability of these extracts to kill cancer cells directly and to stimulate animal immune systems were first described in the mid- to late-1980s.[7,8,9,10]

This complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) information summary provides an overview of the use of mistletoe as a treatment for people with cancer. The summary includes a brief history of mistletoe research, the results of clinical trials, and possible side effects of mistletoe use. This summary contains the following key information: Mistletoe is a semiparasitic plant that has been used for centuries to treat numerous human ailments. Mistletoe is used commonly in Europe, where a variety...
The first report that shark cartilage contains at least one angiogenesis inhibitor was published in the early 1980s,[11] and the only published report to date of a clinical trial of shark cartilage as a treatment for people with cancer appeared in the late 1990s.[12] The more recent interest in shark cartilage is due, in part, to the greater abundance of cartilage in this animal and its apparently higher level of antiangiogenic activity. Approximately 6% of the body weight of a shark is composed of cartilage, compared with less than 1% of the body weight of a cow.[13] In addition, on a weight-for-weight basis, shark cartilage contains approximately 1,000 times more antiangiogenic activity than bovine cartilage.[11]
As indicated previously (refer to the Overview and General Information sections of this summary for more information), at least three different mechanisms of action have been proposed to explain the anticancer potential of cartilage: 1) it is toxic to cancer cells; 2) it stimulates the immune system; and 3) it inhibits angiogenesis. Only limited evidence is available to support the first two mechanisms of action; however, the evidence in favor of the third mechanism is more substantial (refer to the Laboratory/Animal/Preclinical Studies section of this summary for more information).
