Coaxing stem cells to become bone tissue is one of many potential applications of stem cell research that is being explored around the world. At North Carolina State University, Dr. Elizabeth Loboa's research uses a unique approach to create bone tissue from adult stem cells.
|Post-doctoral fellow Michelle Wall (right) and Dr. Elizabeth Loboa observe images that indicate palladin is located in human mesenchymal stem cells. Loboa's team was the first to prove that palladin is present in these cells. (Photo: Roger Winstead)
In the Cell Mechanics Laboratory at NC State, Loboa, assistant professor of biomedical engineering, and her research assistants use fluid shear stress applied to human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) that have been seeded into a polymeric scaffold to grow bone tissue. Mechanical loading, such as applying fluid shear stress, is a key factor in functional tissue engineering of bone. However, research on mechanical loading using this method has typically focused on macrofluidic devices. Loboa and her team in a collaboration with Dr. Glenn Walker, an expert in microfluidics, are testing the use of microfluidic devices as a means to apply fluid shear stress to mesenchymal stem cells seeded in three-dimensional (3D) scaffolds. Microfluidics could more easily enable researchers to analyze multiple shear stresses simultaneously by allowing them to compare data from parallel tests concurrently while lowering costs through reducing the amount of media, scaffold material, and the number of cells needed for each shear stress experiment.
|Dr. Elizabeth Loboa (left), graduate student Wayne Pfeiler and post-doctoral fellow Michelle Wall study images that indicate palladin is located in human mesenchymal stem cells. Loboa's team was the first to prove that palladin is present in these cells. (Photo: Roger Winstead)
Their most recent research studied the effects of fluid shear stresses on hMSCs seeded in three-dimensional (3D) poly-l-lactic acid (PLLA) scaffolds in a flow perfusion microfluidic chamber. They found that the cells were able to survive and grow on the PLLA scaffold in the microfluidic device while exposed to fluid shear stress. Results were presented at the 2005 Summer Bioengineering Conference held June 22-26 in Vail, Colo.
The PLLA scaffolds were designed by Dr. Behnam Pourdeyhimi, the William A. Klopman Distinguished Endowed Chaired Professor and associate dean for industry research and extension for the College of Textiles at NC State. The scaffolds provide a biocompatible form for the cells to adhere to during growth and provide mechanical stability during the formation of new bone tissue.
"If mesenchymal stem cells can be harvested from the patient and used to create replacement bone tissue, the resulting replacement bone would be completely compatible with the native bone, avoiding rejection and other issues such as lack of autologous bone tissue for harvesting associated with present-day bone tissue replacements," said Loboa.
Loboa's team also announced a breakthrough in hMSC research at the conference. Her team is the first in the world to prove that palladin, a protein associated with the actin cytoskeleton, is present in mesenchymal stem cells. Since palladin is important in cytoskeletal organization, the team believes that this discovery could lead to clues about how mechanical stimuli modulate hMSC differentiation into bone.
"Eventually this research could lead to the development of a process to grow bone to replace damaged or lost bone in patients with osteoporosis or other skeletal defects," said Loboa. "One of the problems with these degenerative bone diseases is the loss of mobility. We hope that by giving patients new bone that matches their native bone, we can restore some of their mobility."
The hMSCs used in Loboa's lab are harvested from bone and bone marrow from patients at UNC hospitals and from fat tissue harvested during surgeries also performed by UNC surgeons.

Get ready for the drive of a lifetime! VW has unleashed its stunning new Golf – and Auto Express travelled to Iceland to see if it's a winner.
As the famous family hatchback celebrates its 34th anniversary, its sixth major evolution has arrived. And the German company promises the newcomer will deliver unrivalled luxury and refinement.
Video: watch CarBuyer's video review of the VW Golf
To help substantiate those claims, our 2.0-litre TDI test car had an ultra-efficient engine and six-speed automatic gearbox, as well as touchscreen audio and navigation.
Flagship versions get computer-controlled suspension and a cruise control that scans the road ahead for slower traffic.
Up close, the bold new lights and revised grille give the Golf a sportier appearance than the MkV. But the changes represent an evolution rather than a revolution for the top-seller.
Inside, the difference is more obvious. VW makes much of the cabin which, as well as being lavishly equipped, gets fresh fabrics and trim, along with more comfortable seats. As before, there's ample leg and headroom, and our five-door offered plenty of rear space.
The driving position is comfortable and provides a great view of the road ahead, while the chunky steering wheel in our SE-equipped car featured button controls for the sat-nav and climate control. On the road, refinement is impressive, too. At idle, the engine is virtually inaudible thanks to modifications VW has made to reduce vibration.
What's more, performance and economy both remain competitive. The 138bhp oil-burner returns nearly 58mpg – which is 6mpg more than the previous model achieved – but also delivers a top speed of nearly 140mph and a 0-62mph sprint time of 11.2 seconds.
This is partly helped by the new dual-shift semi-automatic gearbox, or DSG for short. Although a six-speed manual transmission is also available, our test car was equipped with DSG, which provides near-instant up and downchanges.
Operated by steering wheel-mounted paddles, the 'box responds quickly to commands, sliding smoothly through the ratios. This aids poise and balance on winding, uneven roads – particularly under braking and when accelerating out of corners.
And even although the chassis is very similar to that of the 2004 Golf MkV, subtle but important changes to the design make it slightly stronger. This extra strength has been used in part to improve the car's mid-corner stability, but is mostly aimed at upgrading refinement.
Coupled with the new, electronically controlled suspension that debuted on the VW Scirocco, it provides smooth, quiet progress which insulates the driver from harsh surface changes and potholes. But this new-found luxury has spoiled the steering, which lacks feel. We do, however, like the extra safety equipment which this Golf carries as standard. For the first time, there are knee airbags for the driver, bringing the total count to seven.
There is also a head restraint system, designed to reduce whiplash injuries, plus a revised and improved ESP electronic stability programme.
But the big question is: Has all this work really been enough to ensure the latest member of the Golf dynasty matches the high expectations of its fans?
When it comes to luxury and refinement, there's no doubt this model scores a hole in one. However, the increased reliance on electronics to control the suspension and steering has robbed the car of some of its dynamic appeal.
Rival: Ford Focus
A recent redesign improved the looks and refinement... but that's not enough any more. The new Golf has opened a gulf between the two that's unlikely to be closed any time soon.
Click here for the full report on the 1.4-litre TSI version of the new Golf
* Price: £18,500 (approx)
* Engine: 1,998cc four-cylinder diesel, 138bhp

A man who was shot by a Fountain Police officer after threatening family members with a gun has been identified as a 34-year-old Fort Carson soldier.
Stephen Payne was shot by an officer in the 800 block of Daffodil Street just before 1:00 a.m. August 12th.
Fountain Deputy Chief Bill Elder tells KRDO NewsChannel 13 that officers responded to a domestic violence case and a man with a gun. Police say the man, now identified as Payne, fired one shot inside the house while a woman and two young kids were inside.
When police arrived, the incident continued in the front yard. Payne would not respond to the officer's commands and refused to drop his weapon, according to police. Police say that Payne reached for his handgun, prompting the officer to fire at Payne, striking him multiple times.
"I heard about 5 gun shots and then I heard somebody yell," said Richard Giles, a neighbor. "In fact, it sounded like he was crying, so he was definitely in pain."
Payne remains at a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. The other family members are safe and uninjured.
Payne is active duty with the U.S. Army stationed at Ft. Carson.
Neighbors say the family rented the house on Daffodil and moved in not too long ago. They tell KRDO NewsChannel 13, they're surprised this happened in what they call a normally quiet street.
"We've never seen the likes of this," said Patricia Everett, a neighbor. "This is the first time in our area that we've had any violence to the point that police had to be called out and someone was actually shot."
The investigation is ongoing and charges are pending with the District Attorney's Office.

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ....
George Lucas sold all things "Star Wars" to Disney for $4 billion and the whole world rejoiced. No truth to the rumor Lucas gets to do a short film encompassing Mickey Mouse's back story, featuring a father who was never there and Jar Jar Binks.
Now if other domineering, control freaks would step away so fans can finally get what they've been asking for. I'm looking at you Mike Shanahan.
Don't think because Alfred Morris and Bob Griffin are working out in Washington, that the fantasy world has lightened up on you. We know injuries forced your hand with Morris and Griffin was likely to succeed regardless of his coach.
Anyways, here's my top five adds and drops for Week 9. By rule, the adds are available in at least half of either ESPN or CBS leagues.
WR Chris Givens (Rams, ESPN: 3%/CBS: 21%): This is for those who didn't listen to me last week. Make it a NFL rookie record five straight weeks with at least one 50-yard reception. This one was a touchdown. He's clearly the best weapon Sam Bradford has had in the pros. He's especially a good add in keeper leagues, where I project him joining Pittsburgh's Mike Wallace as one of the best deep threats in the league within a year or two.
WR Santana Moss (Redskins, ESPN: 31%/CBS: 63%): Moss continues to be the go-to receiver for Griffin with Pierre Garcon (foot) out, and he has four touchdowns in his past four games.
RB Ronnie Hillman (Broncos, ESPN: 1%/CBS: 19%): The former Aztec finally had the opportunity to showcase his skills Sunday night in Denver's victory over New Orleans. 86 yards on 14 carries is just scratching the surface. I truly believe he fits Peyton Manning's offense better than McGahee in the long term. Like St. Louis' Givens, this add will truly pay dividends in keeper leagues. Although, if McGahee goes down, he could pay handsomely this season, especially in PPR leagues.
RB Daniel Thomas (Dolphins, ESPN: 44%/CBS: 37%): He's had over 10 carries and scored in three of the last five games. He appears past his concussions and he's taking red zone touches away from Reggie Bush. He looks like a decent flex option in deeper leagues going forward. Bush hasn't been the same since he injured his knee Week 3.
RB Mike Tolbert (Panthers, ESPN: 14%/CBS: 6%): This is based purely on speculation Carolina will trade DeAngelo Williams by the deadline. Should the Panthers part company with DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart would be left with the starting gig and Tolbert would be his backup. Tolbert is an accomplished goal-line runner, plus, Stewart missed two of the season's first three games with toe and ankle injuries. He could prove valuable for the fantasy playoffs.
RB Toby Gerhart (Vikings, ESPN: 52%/CBS: 34%): He has one carry in each of the past three weeks. He has no value backing up a freak of nature like Adrian Peterson (unless you own Peterson).
WR Robert Meachem (Chargers, ESPN: 70%/CBS: 47%): He hasn't caught a pass in three of San Diego's seven games. The kiss of death in fantasy is taking a zero from a player.
WR Jon Baldwin (Chiefs, ESPN: 16%/CBS: 9%): I expect more from this talented young receiver, but he continues to turn in underwhelming performances. He has just four receptions for 52 yards over his last three games. To be fair, Kansas City's offense has been in shambles. I still believe he has a bright future with the Chiefs likely trading Dwayne Bowe in the offseason, and potentially drafting a new quarterback in the draft.
TE Jermichael Finley (Packers, ESPN: 87%/CBS: 93%): Don't drop him outright, but you should definitely package him in a trade. He's been one of the biggest disappointments in fantasy this season. Finley has less than three catches in four straight games and has a total of 78 yards in that span. Green Bay was missing their top two receivers against Jacksonville and he managed 24 yards on two catches.
TE Scott Chandler (Bills, ESPN: 48%/CBS: 52%): Apparently, Chandler can only score touchdowns in September. For the second straight season, his production has dropped off a cliff after the first month of the season. He had seven receptions for 59 yards in October.

At a Glance - In the Real World
Graphs are useful because many people prefer looking at pictures to looking at equations. They're not necessarily better, though. While a picture may be worth a thousand words, it's really only worth one equation.
When giving a presentation, a graph makes a very nice visual. Different sorts of graphs show up in real life, from president approval rating surveys, to financial market summaries, so it's good to be comfortable reading them. Slip into your sock monkey slippers, stoke the fire and settle in for an evening of satisfying graph-reading.
Graphs let us see patterns in numbers that we might not be able to see merely by looking at a list. Lists are nice some of the time, but are we running out to the store for a gallon of milk right now? We didn't think so.
We can look at the relation generated by the equation x = y, or we can look at a graph of a straight line. Lots of things in real life, such as population sizes or the height of something thrown into the air, can be measured to generate graphs with familiar shapes, including straight lines, quadratic functions, and exponential functions. Remember last week when you never would've counted quadratic functions or exponential functions among a list of "familiar shapes"? Move over, triangles and squares. There are some new shapes in town.

A radio show run by psychiatric patients SARAH PAVIS · NOV 19 2012
You'd think a radio show broadcasting from inside a psychiatric hospital would be either illegal, demeaning, extorting, or just plain weird, but Buenos Aires' Radio Colifata ("The Crazy Lady") is, by all accounts, endearing.
"Green cows run wild," he says, "milk and milk and milk spilling. Green organs spill. Intestines spill." An interned leans over and whispers to me, "That's Dr. Vazquez. He is the only one allowed to interrupt the program. He worked as a surgeon here. His wife, a nurse, lives here too." Doctor Vasquez leaves and his wife, who wears her nurse's uniform, runs after him. Maria returns to her poem.

SIKESTON - Advertisements being sold and donations being solicited for a Sikeston Department of Public Safety DARE calendar in the area are not legitimate, according to Drew Juden, director of the Sikeston Department of Public Safety.
"I don't want people to think they're donating to us when they're not," he explained. "If anybody is donating or being contacted, we want them to know it is not authorized by our department."
Juden said he and the DPS were approached by a company called Cape Calendar over just such a project, but he declined - several times.
If DPS were to authorize such a calendar, they would do it using a Sikeston printing company, Juden said.
Juden said it appears he will be forced to seek legal action to get the company to stop using the Sikeston DPS and the Sikeston DARE program names to solicit without authorization.
If anyone has any questions about this matter, they are asked to call Juden or Shirley Porter, Sikeston DARE officer, at 471-6200.

My husband and I had long dreamed of the day when we could
afford to forsake our suburban home and live a simpler
back-to-the-land existence. Then one night—armed with pen
and paper—I decided to actually analyze the economics of
the job that I'd hoped (vainly, it seemed) would help us
someday reach our goal. When my computations were finished,
I stared at the hard, cold facts and made a startling
discovery: I couldn't afford to keep on working full time!
As a teacher, you see, I made $9,000 a year. Yet my actual
spendable income (consisting of net wages minus
work-related expenses) came to only $2,530 annually. I was
truly amazed to learn how much it was costing me to work!
Here's how my income was being distributed:
Salary $9,000State and federal taxes $1,500Car payment ($135/month) 1,620 Gasoline 1,920 Auto repair, tolls, misc 480Vehicle insurance 350Working wardrobe 600 --------Total work expenses: $6,470Net spendable income: $2,530
Well, I decided if that was all the further my nine-to-five
routine was getting me, it was time to let go of it.
So with little hesitation I did just that! From then
on I managed to augment my husband's salary by cashing in
on my love of horses. My years of training in riding,
combined with my teaching experience, blended to produce a
career instructing young horsemen and -women that not
only gave me an income but provided me with lots of outdoor
activity as well. My new "job" also afforded me more
leisure time to develop home and garden skills that helped
to stretch what money I did bring home.
What's more, my new occupation eliminated our need for a
second family vehicle, so I was able to barter my car for
two acres of remote New Hampshire land. Of course, once we
acquired that property, we immediately wanted to relocate
to it ...and upon closer examination of my husband's
earnings, we realized that the idea of simply packing
up and trying to make do in a rural setting wasn't too
farfetched at all!
The following list demonstrates how much of his income was
being used each year to do no more than maintain our
(unloved!) lifestyle:
Salary $16,550State and federal taxes $1,800Mortgage ($235/mo) 2,820Property taxes 1,200Electricity ($75/mo) 900 Telephone ($40/mo) 480Oil heat 1,000Truck payment ($107/mo) 1,284 Gasoline 1,200 Truck repair, misc 360Vehicle insurance 350Food ($250/mo) 3,000Dining, local travel 1,200Clothing 480 --------Total work expenses: $16,074Net spendable income: $476
Faced with those facts, we made the decision to abandon our
suburban way of life, so we sold our house and moved onto
the two wholly owned country acres on which we built a
small, mortgage-free camp. I now cook with bottled gas for
a mere $6.00 a month. Our light is produced by economical kerosene
lanterns. A small barrel stove has taken the place of a
costly oil furnace. Wood obtained through barter provides
all our heat. A brook on our property supplies all
the water we need.
My husband's financed pickup truck (and its accompanying
payments) has been replaced by a used van (completely paid
for) that we've converted into a camper. Soon our annual
budget looked more like this:
Combined income $7,400Rent/mortgage 0Car payment 0Electricity 0 Income taxes $120Property taxes 75Telephone (pay phone) 100Bottled gas 120Oil heat 1,000Gasoline 600 Vehicle insurance 300Food 1,440Clothing 300 --------Total work expenses: $3,055Net spendable income: $4,345
As you can see, our change of lifestyle has resulted in our
having more cash to spend than we did before. Best of all,
however, is the fact that we're both finally free of the
40-hour week and can devote ourselves full time to
gardening, foraging for wild edibles, fishing, hunting,
writing (which helps pay our bills), and traveling.
In fact, our pleasure expenses have actually increased
since our move to the country. For example, at the moment
our camp is rented (providing us with another source of
cash income) while we spend a year traveling in Alaska.
After three months on the road, with our expenses totaling
$2,900 for 12,000 miles of unforgettable experiences,
we're now caretaking a remote cabin on the Alaskan coast, enjoying the icy splendor of glaciers and snowcaps, and continuing to expand our knowledge and skills.
We're living our dream, and all it took was the gumption to
free ourselves of the life we thought we couldn't
afford to leave. You know, until we faced
the facts, we never realized the astronomical costs
involved in maintaining a suburban lifestyle.
It seems that the solution to money problems sometimes lies
not in earning more, but rather, in simplifying
your way of life ... and perhaps even earning
less. Moving from your present dwelling to a dream
farm or camp in the country—to that place where you can
garden and cut your own wood—may be the answer to
your financial dilemma. In fact, you may be able
to eliminate entirely that tedious 40-hour week, and meet
your reduced expenditures by a part-time or seasonal job,
or a home business.
The transition from a life in suburbia to one on the farm
does take time, thought, and money. How much of each you'll
need will, of course, depend on your skills, level of
determination, hoped-for lifestyle, and current equities.
You may have to "cash in" some assets and deplete your
personal savings ...or you may have to devote extra time to
honing a talent that'll net the in- come you'll require, or
to learning the skills necessary to live in harmony with
the earth. Whatever method you adopt to rid your self of
those Monday morning blues, rest assured it can be
done. And the entire process will prove to be an exciting
journey, one that may far exceed your original dreams.

Cantina Laredo in Inwood Village closed its doors for good Sunday night as a packed house of loyal Tex-Mex followers gathered to say goodbye to a restaurant that has been sacred ground for three generations of Park Cities, Greenway Parks, Devonshire, Bluffview and Preston Hollow families.
When Inwood Village opened in 1949, El Chico was the original tenant in this space, located a few doors east of the Inwood Theater. The lease was signed by a firm composed of Gilbert, Mack, Willie Jack, Frank and Alfred Cuellar – the legendary "Mama's Boys." In 1983, under the leadership of Gilbert Cuellar, Jr., the restaurant was renamed Casa Rosa, and enjoyed almost 20 years of success. The space was renamed Cantina Laredo in April 2003 and is now part of Consolidated Restaurant Operations, Inc.
Throughout the restaurant's three incarnations, two things have stayed unique. First, the upstairs meeting rooms have hosted a half century of local lunch and dinner meetings. (The various Highland Park schools moms' lunch groups are now scrambling to find a similar place to meet. There isn't one.) The second unique aspect is the pair of large murals that have graced the walls since the early 1950s. The murals feature two lovely senoritas. Guys who grew up here can recall when they were boys daydreaming about these unique murals.
On Sunday, as the clock ticked away the final minutes of the 64-year-old Tex-Mex bastion, general manager Irene Tumeo, Cantina Laredo president Jose Luis Magana, Consolidated Restaurants CEO John Harkey, Jr. and marketing VP Bill Watson all told me the same thing. "We don't want to leave. We lost our lease."
The owners of the shopping center are moving out the restaurant – which was doing a brisk business – to make way for a California grocery store. Many of the 9,000 people on the restaurant's email list are upset and more than a few are livid. People who first went to the restaurant with their grandparents are now taking their own grandchildren there. Very few eateries have that kind of heritage. People who eat out regularly at the same place for 20 to 40 years develop a strong bond with it and that's why this closing has been so emotional for so many people.
"What hurts the most is that the individuals who have worked here for years, this is their home," Magana said. "This is their life. The guests here are part of their family. It hurts."
The Cantina Laredo employees will be relocated to other locations, including Preston Royal. But Sunday night felt like a close family whose kids are being split up and sent to live with various aunts and uncles. There was a great deal of emotion, quite a few tears and heartfelt hugs everywhere. It felt like a Tex-Mex funeral.
As the doors were about to close for the last time, Irene gathered her staff together for a photo. Then, she became too emotional to be in the shot. After the picture was taken, the entire restaurant erupted in emotional applause. This was more than business. This was love.
Cantina Laredo has 53 locations in 16 states and two foreign countries, but this one was the heartbeat of the company. A search is underway for a new location, and if one is found the murals will make the move.
Sunday night, after being served the final margarita in the restaurant's history, I made a toast to the Cuellar family.
"Here's to the Mama's Boys and their dream 64 years ago...
"It's been a good run."

- Locked-In Syndrome
Brain Death
Brain death is the permanent loss of brain activity. As a result, people cannot breathe or maintain other vital functions on their own, and they permanently lose all awareness and capacity for thought.
Brain death means that the brain stops functioning. People do not respond to any stimuli. No treatment can help, and once the diagnosis is confirmed, a person is considered legally dead.
In the past, the idea of brain death was irrelevant because when the brain died, so did the rest of the body. That is, the person stopped breathing, and the heart stopped beating. However now, artificial means (such as ventilators and drugs) can temporarily maintain breathing and the heart's beating even when all brain activity stops. But eventually, even with help from artificial means, all the body's organs stop working. Nothing can keep the heart beating indefinitely once brain death occurs.
There are specific criteria for diagnosing brain death. Doctors identify some of them during the physical examination:
Doctors also check certain other reflexes to confirm that the brain is not functioning. Doctors must also notify or attempt to notify the person's next of kin or a close friend.
In addition, doctors cannot diagnose brain death until they have checked for and corrected all treatable problems that could slow brain function and could thus be misdiagnosed as brain death. These problems include a very low body temperature, very low blood pressure, very high or very low levels of certain substances (such as sugar and sodium) in the blood, overdose of a sedative, and use of certain toxic drugs.
Doctors typically recheck the criteria 6 to 24 hours later to confirm the person's lack of response.
After confirming twice that the brain is not functioning and after checking for and correcting any problems present, doctors diagnose brain death. No additional testing is needed.
Occasionally, doctors use certain diagnostic tests to immediately confirm brain death. For these tests, rechecking results after 6 to 24 hours is not required. The tests are typically done to make organ donation possible—for example, after catastrophic head injuries (as may occur in car crashes). Otherwise, these tests are usually not needed. The tests include
Electroencephalography (EEG—a recording of the brain's electrical activity—see Tests for Brain, Spinal Cord, and Nerve Disorders : Electroencephalography): This test shows no brain waves when a person is brain dead.
Imaging tests that detect blood flow to the brain: No blood flows to the brain when a person is brain dead.
Imaging tests include angiography, CT angiography, single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT—which uses a radioactive molecule called a radionuclide to produce images of blood flow), and transcranial Doppler ultrasonography.
No one who meets the criteria for brain death recovers. After brain death is confirmed, all life support is stopped. Family members may wish to be with the person at this time. They need to be told that one or more limbs may move when breathing assistance is ended or that the person may even sit up. These movements result from spinal reflex muscle contractions and do not mean the person is not really brain dead.

I cough stuff up for days.READ MORE
This isn't exactly common but is sometimes seen with reflux. In my house we refer to it as "throw up burps." They can be very painful and can also cause reflexive coughing. Your lungs can also constrict in an attempt to protect themselves from the acid. Once the acid is there and has caused the damage it can take a while for the esophagus and throat tissue to heal. Because your symptoms are so severe - you should see a doctor to develop a treatment plan. You may also want to consider some preventive things such as sleeping in a more upright position, avoiding foods that trigger your symptoms or avoiding eating later at night.
Do you know of any instant relief when this wakes you up at night so you can stop the burning in your throat? I heard honey will help. I know I tried milk and tums and eating something and nothing seems to help the burn.READ MORE
April 02, 2011Health GuideApril 02, 2011
We do Tums. They seem to be the magic cure in our house for many things (hiccups and the throat burn). I've heard people recommend a warm salt water gargle. The biggest issue though is the burn comes from the acid literally burning the skin as it comes up. So, much like if you burned your arm - it's going to hurt for a while no matter what you do about it.
The best solution is to try and figure out what's causing it and try to keep it from happening again. Sometimes avoiding food for a certain period before bedtime helps. Sleeping more upright. Keeping a food log to see if there are certain foods that seem to trigger it. (greasy or heavy foods are a culprit in my house).

'Me @ the Zoo' Explores Life of YouTube Star Chris Crocker
Like many people who had access to the Internet in 2007, filmmakers Chris Moukarbel and Valerie Veatch were acutely aware of the existence of Chris Crocker. The YouTube star had made a name for himself with a series of flamboyant web videos, which culminated in a much-viewed clip of Crocker pleading with the media to leave pop star Britney Spears alone.
Given his history, Crocker seemed an obvious candidate for Moukarbel and Veatch to interview for their documentary about technology and pop culture. The duo's desire to speak with Crocker only intensified after Moukarbel realized his family lived within blocks of his potential subject's family in Bristol, Tenn. The trio quickly connected and the result is "Me @ the Zoo," which will debut at the Sundance Film Festival later this week. HBO on Tuesday picked up the film's U.S. broadcast rights.
"The key question we asked ourselves when making this film was how to construct a story about somebody whose life is basically a living documentary," says Moukarbel. "Hopefully we were able to add a level of artfulness."
Aesthetically, Moukarbel says he and Ms. Veatch wanted to treat all forms of online and digital content with the same respect they granted cinema. "Me @ the Zoo" therefore weaves together Crocker's Internet life and his real life by juxtaposing clips and screengrabs from Crocker's most popular videos and parodies, with glimpses into his family life, including sporadic taped interludes with his homeless, meth-addicted mother.
To construct their movie, Crocker gave the filmmakers access to thousands of his personal videos which ranged from 3 seconds to several minutes and were all taken on his point-and-shoot camera. No scenes were re-created, say the filmmakers, who note that while their subject had reams of personal footage, he didn't realize exactly what he was sitting on.
"To use a cliche, Chris' life is a stage and what you see is what you get in terms of his videos," says Ms. Veatch. "Sometimes he slips between acting and being himself, but he's honest about his slips, because his life literally is content for the rest of us."

Voting was important to our Torres relatives.
José Torres' daughters recall that their father believed strongly in the vote – and that fact helped us zero in on when José left New Mexico and moved to California. It shows how long he and the family lived in Needles. José is registered as early as 1917 in Needles, San Bernardino County. After 1923, he is regularly registered in Fresno.
"California Voter Registrations, 1900-1968" database at ancestry.com doesn't have every year listed, but it gives a sampling of years to help you see where relatives lived.
The records show that Domitila Sanchez also was a voter. She is registered in Los Angeles in 1930, in Fresno in 1938, and in Los Angeles in 1950 – consistent with family memories and census records.
José and Domitila were registered Democrats, by the way.
The voter records do not list ages. And if a name is common, the records may not help much. But if you are pretty sure that a relative lived in a particular place, the voting records can help verify it.
Many of our relatives can be placed at specific addresses in the '50s and '60s based on these records.
As far as New Mexico is concerned, ancestry.com does not currently have a comparable database.

1940 Census: Descendants of Domitila Sanchez
In 1940, Domitila Sanchez was 70 years old and living with her daughter and son-in-law in Fresno. Families of Domitila's other children were split between California and New Mexico.
Here's a rundown:
- Frank F. Sanchez lived on Atrisco Road in the Albuquerque area with his wife and five children. Two of his children, Plutarco and Moises, were already grown and in their own households in Albuquerque.
- Victor B. lived on Marble Street in Albuquerque with his first wife and six children.
- Domitila's granddaughter Andreita Gonzales (Domitila's eldest child Marcelina had died) lived on a farm in Lemitar, N.M., with her husband and five children.
- Henry Sanchez and his first wife lived on Nord Street in an unincorporated area of Los Angeles called Willowbrook.
- Joe and his wife lived on Soto Street in Los Angeles with two children.
- Where's Crespin Sanchez? The newly released census index doesn't help in finding this son of Domitila's. Could he be a lodger at the home of the Bartolo Najera family in Stockton, Calif.? Maybe, but there is not enough matching information to confirm that. Crespin lived in the Los Angeles area most of his life, and is listed in Los Angeles voting records in the '40s and '50s.
Summing Up: Several recent blog posts have looked at our family members in the 1940 census. What did we learn? One couple was separated. One young man had joined the service before WWII broke out.
But mostly, the year 1940 set the stage for a lot of movement by our family members. Most of our families answered, "Where did you live in 1935?" with the answer "same place." It would be interesting to see what the answers would be in 1950 to "Where were you in 1945?" But unfortunately that is not a question in the 1950 census. And it will be 10 long years before those records are released.

What Notable People Are Tweeting About the Pope's Resignation
Pope Benedict XVI joined Twitter with much fanfare last year. This morning, with the news that the pontiff is resigning from his post effective Feb. 28, some notable people on Twitter are speaking out about his imminent departure from his post.
In his announcement, the pope said "After having repeatedly examined my conscience before God, I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry."
The last Tweet from the Pope's official account, dated Feb. 10, reads "We must trust in the mighty power of God's mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new."
The reactions ranged from reverent all the way to irreverent. Read a sampling of what they have to say. What do you think? Leave your thoughts in the comments.
I wonder who the next pope will be:latin american? African? European?
— Soledad O'Brien (@Soledad_OBrien) February 11, 2013
Being "The Pope" means you are married to God. So, is this like a divorce?
— Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) February 11, 2013
The Queen's a year older than The Pope. Can't see her ever resigning because she's tired. #indefatigability1infallibility0
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) February 11, 2013
The last time a pope willingly resigned was in 1294 Hoping for a more progressive successor – imagine a pope more like Arch Desmond Tutu
— mia farrow (@MiaFarrow) February 11, 2013
What's on your menu? Pope Benedict to step down as head of Catholic Church. Been up praying for him and for the Church.
— Donna Brazile (@donnabrazile) February 11, 2013
We must trust in the mighty power of God's mercy. We are all sinners, but His grace transforms us and makes us new.

The Things They Carried
by Tim O'Brien
The Things They Carried Theme of Respect and Reputation
The emphasis on respect and reputation in The Things They Carried is an inevitable byproduct of the focus on friendship and weakness. The soldiers fear and loathe weakness, so in order to keep their friendships intact, they need to protect their reputations.
When all the soldiers freak out in a firefight, they're able to laugh about it later. But when one of them gets an extremely embarrassing wound (or shoots himself in the toe to get out of the war, or freezes in a firefight, or doesn't partake in a particularly morbid joke, etc.), he bristles to protect his reputation.
Questions About Respect and Reputation
- How do the brotherhood of soldiers and the fear of weakness play into the soldiers' obsession with reputation? Give examples.
- Does the soldiers' intense focus on reputation have a corollary in civilian life? (Remember, soldiers will kill or die rather than ruin their reputation. High school cliques are not quite on this level.) If so, what is it? If not, why not?
- What makes the soldiers respect each other? Is it just strength in battle, or is it something more? (Think back to characters who are widely respected.) How does this complicate the role of toughness in reputation?
Chew on This
Because the soldiers rely on friendships with other soldiers in order to stay sane, and because they have a terror of weakness, reputation becomes incredibly important. If they appear weak and lose their reputations, they fear they may lose the friendships they need to survive.
While the soldiers believe that toughness in battle and a willingness to kill is what earns them respect, that's not the case. Decency and moral character earn far more respect with the soldiers than indifferent toughness does.

Whoa, whoa, whoa--the you know what finally hit the fan between Teresa and Caroline last night on Real Housewives of New Jersey while Jacqueline SLEPT through the drama and Melissa and Kathy looked on in horror. This storm has been a brewing for MONTHS and it finally exploded during the last night of the Napa trip.
Truth be told, nothing shocking was revealed or exposed. It was just another round of Caroline calling Teresa a liar, accusing her of selling stories to the tabloids and being pissed that Teresa called her one sixteenth Italian in her cookbook. This was followed by Teresa calling Caroline a liar and denying that she ever sold stories to the press.
PS--Joe Giudice kinda confirmed to then men that they do sell stories. His response? "So what!"
Then Teresa and Caroline took to Watch Happens Live to tell their side of the story to
their dad the wise and unbiased Andy Cohen. Caroline feels that Teresa's apologies were not sincere and meant only for the camera. Teresa thinks she DID apologize and that Caroline's needs to watch what she says about T's marriage because apparently T knows a few unsavory secrets about Caroline's marriage too.
So my friends . . . did Caroline overreact? Does she just have it out for Teresa? Or is Teresa just certifiably crazy?
I thought it was interesting that Andy asked both ladies what the tabloid headline they would write for each other would say.
Teresa: "Caroline is Angry and Has a Lot of Animosity Against Teresa."
Caroline: Ever the diplomat revealed, "I have never written a tabloid headline, never written a story and never will" and refused to answer the question.
So . . . what do you think!?
Yikes, this is gonna be one heck of a reunion! Any other thoughts? Spill 'em below!
More reality TV madness!

While Warren Sapp became a first-round NFL draft pick, a Super Bowl champion and (soon) a Hall of Famer, the star with a larger-than-life personality says he's still just a small-town country boy from this unincorporated community outside of Apopka. • The former Bucs legendary defensive tackle was driven by his humble beginnings. He grew up on a dirt road, with him and his older siblings squeezing into a one-bedroom, yellow-and-white wooden frame home on what's now called Warren Sapp Drive.
So it was only fitting that as Sapp prepared for Saturday's induction into football immortality, he made a trip back to his hometown this summer, celebrating with those who knew him before he was anything, and still called him by his middle name, Carlos.
Sapp, joined by Annie Roberts, the single mother who raised him, walked around his old neighborhood one balmy June afternoon, passing out Hall of Fame commemorative hats with his name on the side, saying he had "18-20 years of my life flash before me in an hour."
"I learned that you don't forget where you came from, and I came from dirt," Sapp said. "And in every walk of my life, I remember 26 Barrett Drive. I remember 3319 Barrett Drive, when they changed the number, and we still had a P.O. Box. There was no mailman coming to my door, no cable, no air conditioning. That's the foundation which I woke up everyday, and that's not something that leaves you."
Wil Carlton, a former Apopka High assistant football coach, said there were more talented players than Sapp to come out of the area, but nobody had his drive, his determination. And that was how, despite many obstacles — a few self-inflicted — Sapp took the unlikely path to Saturday night's induction ceremonies in Canton.
"I can't tell you how many people said, 'This guy is not going to make it,' " said Chip Gierke, Sapp's coach at Apopka. "I had one guy, coaching at a big-time college and ended up being a general manager, told me Sapp would never make it. I've learned this: Never is a long time."
With Sapp's father out of the picture, his mother worked four jobs to make ends meet, from cleaning houses to working at a local nursery and restaurant. The family never had much, but Sapp — the youngest of six kids — spent his childhood making the most of it. He'd play marbles, gig for bullfrogs and catch catfish.
And, of course, there was football, where he'd battle with brothers Parnell and Arnell, in the backyard, or a nearby dirt field they called the "Dust Bowl."
The kids would also snag oranges from the surrounding citrus groves, peppering each other with the agricultural town's chief commodity.
"Trust me, if you go and pick enough oranges, buddy, you want out," Sapp said. "You want out, I promise you. And I wanted out."
Sapp, not surprisingly, was never short on confidence, running around the house and telling his family he'd be a millionaire one day. At age 7, he made a prescient prediction to his uncle Asper Dawson that he'd be a professional football player, and one of the best. But the Hall of Fame?
"I never would have imagined it," Roberts said. "It looks like we should have known he'd be a great football player, because that's all he ever did. That's all he ever wanted to do. Football, football, football."
Sapp's first organized football experience came in junior high. Teammate James McKnight said they both were bench-warmers who would pour out the Gatorade bucket and roll around in the mud after games to look like they played. But Sapp rarely sat on the sidelines at Apopka High, which has churned out its share of professional athletes, including Cy Young winner Zack Grienke (Dodgers), former Dolphins running back Sammie Smith and current Redskins safety Brandon Meriweather.
John Peery, long-time editor at the Apopka Chief newspaper, said Sapp's athleticism was special. Sapp could dunk a basketball and lead fast breaks on dazzling dribbles, with Peery comparing him to Charles Barkley.
In football, Sapp was the star tight end with some of the softest hands Peery has ever seen in the area, making a one-handed grab "you would be excited when you saw an NFL wide receiver like Randy Moss" do.
"People don't realize, Warren Sapp was an All-American tight end," said long-time major leaguer Johnny Damon, who played high school football against Sapp while at Orlando Dr. Phillips. "He was a beast."
Sapp never came off the field, playing linebacker on defense and also serving as punter. While the physical talent was there, Carlton said it was his drive that stood out. "In his years at Apopka, he never lost a sprint," Carlton said. "Never."
Sapp's trademark stubbornness, however nearly derailed his promising football career. During one game at Apopka, Sapp was so upset about the amount of run plays called, he took his pads off on the sideline, went into the locker room to grab his stuff and left the stadium.
Gierke, having coached Sapp's older brothers, and knowing his family well, gave Sapp a second chance. Carlton said Sapp apologized to the team the next day, and never looked back.
"He outworked all his problems," Carlton said. "There's nobody that I know that doesn't have problems, but he overcame every impediment that was in his way."
Nearly everyone recruited Sapp, with Florida State and Miami taking an epic battle down to the morning of signing day, when he picked the Hurricanes. But Sapp struggled to qualify academically for the scholarship, needing to retake the ACT his senior year and improve his score by a few points.
Carlton's wife, Janice, a tutor, said Sapp would come by her house two or three times a week for cram sessions until he cracked the test.
"Warren was one of those few people that I've tutored, and I've been tutoring for the ACT for a number of years, that was there every single day we were set to tutor," Janice Carlton said. "He was on time and he worked hard. He wasn't iffy, or playing around, he wanted to pass that test."
Sapp left Plymouth to become an All-American at Miami, and play 14 NFL seasons, but he made sure to give back to his hometown.
Peery, the newspaper editor, said Sapp has done a number of charitable things quietly over the years, including helping youths in similar situations get a better chance. There were more public displays, such as Sapp donating an undisclosed amount for a new scoreboard at the school, which now bears his name.
But Sapp's surprise appearance during the Blue Darters' state championship run in 2001 stole the show. Coach Rick Darlington noticed Sapp on the sideline during warmups of their first-round game against Orlando Boone, and invited him to give a pregame speech.
"He gave a really good talk, he got teared up and emotional, how much he loved playing for Apopka," Darlington said. "By halftime, we were up 57-0. So I thought, 'This guy is a lucky guy.' "
Sapp was at every playoff game until the championship, which he had to miss because it was in Tallahassee on a Saturday night before a Sunday Bucs game. But Sapp made it back for the pep rally celebration that Monday night, and offered to pay for the team to get championship rings.
"He said, 'The rings are on me as long as I get a size 14,' " Darlington said. Darlington estimated the 80 gold rings cost about $24,000, and each had Proverbs 22:1 on them, a fitting inscription. "A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold."
When Apopka High won the title again this past year, it was Meriweather — who was on the 2001 team — who bought the rings, following the lead of Sapp.
"With the kids, to have a championship ring to begin with is unbelievable," Darlington said. "But to have one that was purchased by a Hall of Fame NFL player, an alum of your school, it just made it that much better to be able to say, 'Hey, Warren Sapp bought these rings.' ''
When Sapp found out he was going into the Hall of Fame, he said his second favorite call might have been to Gierke, who was a big reason why he went from the orange groves to Miami's Orange Bowl.
Gierke reminded him about Vinny Cerrato, Redskins general manager, one of many who doubted Sapp. Gierke had sent Cerrato, then the recruiting coordinator for Lou Holtz at Notre Dame, a highlight tape of Sapp during his high school days.
"Cerrato called him back and said, 'He's not good enough to play at Notre Dame,' " Sapp said. "So (Gierke) called him back after I got in the Hall of Fame and said, 'That guy can play some football, can't he?' "
Sapp laughs as he tells the story. He beams with pride as he recalled his recent trip to Plymouth, bumping into former childhood friends such as Micheal Washington, who believes Sapp is an inspiration. "No one can replace him," Washington said. "He showed you don't have to be from a major city to be an NFL star."
Sapp marveled at how the magnolia tree he planted as a kid was now "monstrous. It's as old as me — it's 40," Sapp said. "I raised that tree from nothing to that something."
Sounds a lot like Sapp. The name of his street is different, and a lot of the groves are gone, but there's still a familiar feeling for Plymouth's most famous former son.
"I'm just a small-town country boy going back home. That'll never change," Sapp said. "There's a couple little pieces missing here and there, but it is basically still the same."
Sapp smiles, and cracks up, "But the road is paved now."

Fun with free software astronomy
Astronomy software comes in many forms—from the details of computer intensive Grid computing of the distribution of stars (okay that's astrophysics) to rendering the night sky in artistically detailed and sumptuous graphics. Being a devoted backseat observer to the evolution of the Universe in general and GNU/Linux software in specific, I thought it was time to show off what I consider to be the elite of desktop elegance. I will describe the installation and use of two astronomy related software packages: Stellarium and Celestia. These packages are visually appealing and fun to use.

Focus Attention
"After reflecting for a few painful and difficult days, I feel I should address some mistatements I made ("Uncertain Time for Likud in America", 1/13/06)." Rather than spending precious resources on the symptoms of intermarriage, I was trying to focus attention on support for Israel as a basis of instilling Jewish identity.
The Jewish lay leaders and rabbis I know wholeheartedly love and support Israel and are instilling Jewish identity in our entire diverse community. In addition, all Jews, no matter what their sexual orientation, as well as Jews by choice, are sincere and dedicated Jews and should be respected. I sincerely apologize for the comments reflecting otherwise.

Great Cover
I applaud your great cover of Jan. 6 ("L.A.'s Top 10 Menches). It does not matter to me if you call these outstanding examples "menchen" or "menches." What I find very important is that your cover and inside story focused on people doing great things for others.
Many times I find that the covers reflect a sensational aspect more in keeping with a magazine at a market checkout stand, than a vibrant Jewish community. Keep covering positive issues. Thank you
Esther Tabak

Wow! What a great choice for your [Jan. 6] cover. The Orthodox Jewish community is grateful to you for highlighting Avi Leibovic and the extraordinary work he does. The other community lights were an inspiration, and choosing among these heroes for the cover must have been a challenge.
Nevertheless, your choice was much appreciated as the Aish Tamid program has truly established itself as a essential and effective community resource.

Orthodox Women
As Amy Klein reported, the Friday night panel of the OU convention indeed featured a robust exchange concerning the place of women within Orthodoxy ("Orthodox but Not Monolithic," Jan. 6). Though my views on the issue were described by as being "far left," I would imagine that many readers would find them to be quite consistent with mainstream ethical and Jewish religious thought.
These views (all of which have been translated into practice at B'nai David-Judea) are a rooted in the fundamental idea that women should be able to exercise all of the religious opportunities that the halacha provides them with.
These include the opportunity to carry, dance with and (in a women's service) read from the Sefer Torah; to pray in a women's section that is an exact mirror image of the men's section; to study Talmud without restrictions or limitations; to recite Kaddish for a deceased parent, and to be chosen for any position of lay leadership for which they are qualified.
If indeed there are "far left" views, then I suppose I must humbly accept this label.
Rabbi Yosef Kanefsky
B'nai David-Judea
I write in response to Amy Klein's thoughtful article on "Orthodox but Not Monolithic." While your reporter generally presented both the spirit and the substance of my remarks on the issue of women in Orthodox Jewish communal life, I was misquoted as stating that no women currently serve on the board of the Orthodox Union.
While I noted that there are currently no women officers in the Orthodox Union, I did not suggest that there aren't any women board members. I know better than that. My wife, Vivian, is one of the most active members of the Orthodox Union's board of governors.

Westchester's Bright Future
While I thank The Jewish Journal for commenting on B'nai Tikvah's commitment to the Westchester community, I have to take issue with the statement: "The expanding airport and white flight reduced the once-thriving synagogue to a skeletal congregation" ("Still Strong in Westchester," Jan. 6).
Our congregation is tightly woven with 100-plus families. We have actually bucked the trend by increasing our membership by over 10 percent since Reb Jason joined us. Our award-winning nursery school is going strong, and our religious school boasts over 40 children. The future is very bright for this "skeletal congregation."
Art Wexler
Thank you for your very brave and truthful article, "Too Jewish to Play Myself" (Dec. 16, 2005). Hollywood's weak link to reality is driving Jewish and non-Jewish actresses nuts. There seems to be a general dislike of what is really female, even including female old age. So go forth and be a strong link and seek other strong links; create a new Hollywood. There are many of us on your side.
Theresa Merrin
Thousand Oaks
Thank you. Each week when I take The Jewish Journal, I always begin by reading the back page singles section. The singles section is my corner, even when I don't like what someone writes, it still gives me food for thought about my own experiences of "singlehood" in Los Angles. While I often relate to the experiences of the columnists, I don't often relate to their philosophies.
How refreshing it was to read Mark Miller's thought ("Unhappy New Year!" Jan. 6). No, I am not desperate. Yes, I am living. Dating is about feeling comfortable in our own skin, leading an active social life, which can include, but is not limited to, attending cultural events and volunteering opportunities and meeting people along the way.
So thank you for the fresh perspective. It's nice knowing that I am not alone in how I live out my "singlehood."

Reaction to Rosove
Rabbi John Rosove in his opinion, "IRS Errs on Endorsing Candidate Charge" (Jan. 6), commits an error of omission in not sharing with your readers how most of his congregants reacted to his extraordinary erev Rosh Hashanah sermon. Yes, undoubtedly a few congregants were alarmed that his "speaking truth to power" could threaten the temple's 501(c)(3) status.
But the vast majority in the sanctuary responded very differently. They heard his prophetic reminder that Jewish values and traditions speak to our communal responsibility for caring for "those who are in the shadow of life." They understood it to be a call to action, and they applauded!

Sharon's Legacy
Rob Eshman seems bewildered by the rehabilitation of Sharon's legacy ("Scheinerman/Sharon," Jan. 13). He doesn't clarify that Sharon was truly despised by the Muslims and the European, as well as the Jewish left. History has proven that Sharon was ahead of the curve: He was the first true counterrorist leader, and worst of all, he was successful.
Though Eshman considers the Lebanon incursion to be a "disaster," he is only viewing it from the point of view of Israeli public relations. The true reality was, in fact, a disaster for the PLO, whose murderous rampages in the Lebanese civil war against Christian, as well as Muslim Shiite Arabs, and cross-border rocket attacks against northern Israel came to a crashing halt as Sharon exiled Arafat and the Palestinian leadership to Tunisia.
It is no coincidence that bin Laden has repeatedly harped on this fact in his diatribes. Ariel Sharon was more accurate in his assessment of future threats to Israel than the Western world was to the threat of Islamo-fascism. He should be credited for this in his legacy,

No Longer At Ease
by Chinua Achebe
No Longer At Ease Chapter 13 Summary
- Obi takes two weeks' local leave to visit home.
- The night before he goes, Clara starts to cry when they are in bed. Obi asks what's the matter, and Clara says that it would be better if they broke off the engagement.
- Obi is hurt but he simply thanks her for everything. He paces the room, but then realizes that if he had seen another person behave that way, he would have accused them of being too dramatic. So he goes back to bed and finally, Clara convinces him to talk about it.
- She says there are two reasons they should not marry. The first is his family. But then she doesn't remember the second reason.
- Obi says he knows the second reason: it's because she doesn't want to marry somebody who manages his finances so badly that he has to borrow money to pay for his insurance. When she starts to cry, he pulls her towards him and kisses her passionately.
- She tells him he must first apologize for what he said. He apologizes and she says she forgives him.
- Clara then realizes what has just happened – Obi has tricked her so they are no longer broken up.
- Obi sets out the next morning, bright and early.
- He decides to only spend one week at home, because of money. All the people in his village will expect him to share in his good fortune, and he simply can't afford it.
- Although he was given 24 pounds for his vacation, plus he has some left form his January salary, he knows he needs to pay for John's school fees while he has the money. Those cost 16 pounds, ten shillings.
- Obi's mother, Hannah, had just recently returned from the hospital. She's in her room.
- The narrator takes a moment to describe the difference between Hannah's room and Isaac's room.
- Due to his respect for the white man's culture and symbols, Isaac's room is full of the written word: books, papers, Scripture Union Cards. Hannah's room is full of clothes, pots of palm oil to make soap, last year's coco yams, kola nuts, and palm-ash.
- Obi starts to cry when he sees his mother in her bed. But she tells him that now she is healthy, compared to when she was ill.
- Later, some young women in the village who were passing by heard that Obi had returned, so they came inside and sang for him. This offended Isaac because it was heathen music, but Hannah liked it.

Harriet Tubman in Abolitionists
Harriet Tubman (c.1820-1913), born Araminta Ross, was a runaway slave and abolitionist who guided some 300 fellow runaways to freedom as one of the most famous and successful "conductors" on the Underground Railroad. The so-called Railroad was a secret network of safe houses where slaves were hidden on their journey northward. To facilitate its success, Tubman journeyed perilously back into the South at least a dozen times, and was able to bring her parents and brother to freedom. Tubman was also a prominent antislavery lecturer and a friend of famous abolitionists such as John Brown, who may have told her about his secret plan to raid the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry and foment a slave revolt.
During the Civil War, Tubman worked in various capacities for Union forces in coastal South Carolina: she was a spy but also a scout, a cook, and a laundress. She had to apply twice for a federal pension for her Civil War services, and finally received one from Congress (at $20 a month) in the 1890s. After the war, she opened the Harriet Tubman Home for Indigent Aged Negroes (a home for poor and elderly blacks), which was supported by several of her former abolitionist colleagues and many citizens in Auburn, New York, where she lived for the rest of her life.
