Researchers at the University of California, Davis have discovered that analgesia mediated by inhibitors of the enzyme soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is dependent on a pain-mediating second messenger known as cyclic adenosinemonophosphate (cAMP).
The study was published March 7 in an early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper is titled "Analgesia mediated by soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors is dependent on cAMP."
The messenger, cAMP, relays responses and mediates the action of many biological processes, including inflammation as well as cardiac and smooth muscle contraction. The UC-Davis team conducted its research in rodents using an established class of drugs called phosphodiesterase (PDE) inhibitors and a new class of compounds called sEH inhibitors.
The researchers confirmed earlier studies at UC-Davis that showed that stabilization of natural epoxy-fatty acids (EFAs) through inhibition of sEH reduces pain. "However, in the absence of an underlying painful state, inhibition of sEH is ineffective," explains lead researcher Bora Inceoglu of the Bruce Hammock lab, UC-Davis department of entomology. "To our surprise, we found that cAMP interacts with natural EFAs and regulates the analgesic, or pain activity, of sEH inhibitors," says Inceoglu.
Concurrent inhibition of sEH and PDE dramatically reduced acute pain in rodents, the investigators report. Their findings demonstrate a mechanism of action of cAMP and EFAs in the pathophysiology of pain.
Furthermore, they show that inhibition of various PDE isozymes including PDE4 leads to significant increases in EFA levels through a mechanism independent of sEH, suggesting that the efficacy of commercial PDE inhibitors could result in part from increasing EFAs.
"The interaction of many complex biological pathways is essential for the development of persistent pain, whether inflammatory or neuropathic," notes Inceoglu.
Phosphodiesterase inhibitors likely exert part of their action by increasing the levels of natural compounds in the body called EETs (epoxyeicosatrienoic acids). The scientists had previously reported that a new class of experimental drugs called soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors stabilize and also increase EETs.
Practical and basic? "A practical application of this work demonstrated by Bora Inceoglu is that the combination of this old and new class of drugs is highly effective in controlling pain," says Hammock, senior author of the paper. "Of course, the basic aspects of the work include new insights in how EETs, cyclic nucleotides, and the enzymes that degrade them interact to regulate a variety of biological functions."

Let me start off by declaring that capital isn't always cash in hand and everyone has access to some source of capital. Many people start businesses without any start up cash of their own. If you are willing to put in your time and your skill into any business venture you already have capital and there is great value to the work you put in. Additionally, using resources that you already own in your business also amounts to capital investment. In this article "No Capital Required" really means not having large sums of money to invest. Having cash for initial investment is not the definition of a businessman. Entrepreneurs are those people who use creativity and innovation to solve current problems or fill an apparent need.
The best business ideas are those that solve a problem for an existing business. By creating a solution to someone else's problem you create your market. If your business start up idea will help an existing business become more profitable you can convince that business to invest in your venture just by showing them how you can help. If your business idea will save the existing business considerable cash, or make them more profitable, chances are they would be willing to outsource that function to you. Some of the best business ideas are started on that premise.
I have compiled a list of 10 of the easiest "No Capital Required" business ideas:
1) Leaflet Distribution: This may seem unlikely but it is not only a great money making idea for the solo operator, it is also a tremendous opportunity for the budding entrepreneur who has the ambition to build a larger promotional marketing business. When you take into consideration that the majority of businesses must advertise, either in order to stay in business, or just to maintain customer awareness, you realise this is a sound business opportunity. Many companies promote new products this way, by providing the labour you can tap into a vast market.
2) Computer Repair Service: Today it is safe to say that everyone has access to a computer. If there are computers around then we need people to service them. If you have skills as a Computer Repair Technician, then those skills are in high demand. Upgrading, repairing, networking, troubleshooting and protecting your hardware, software and documents are just some of the tasks we are all not equipped to do ourselves. Offer your services starting with friends and colleagues and soon you will have more clients than you can handle.
3) Graphic design or desktop publishing: If you are trained graphic designer or if you just have a flair for desktop publishing, you have the software and a computer; you can earn big bucks as a freelance artist. Create an impressive portfolio of your work to present at business meetings and create a MySpace or facebook page to host your portfolio. Print your own business cards and leave them with potential clients. Start out by doing small jobs for your friends' or and build up your clientele with referrals.
4) Webpage design: Everybody wants a website these days, the web is the number one source of information, and so if you can design websites, the possibilities for you are endless. The development process however, can be very tedious and time consuming. A good business idea would be to design web templates that are affordable and require minimal customisation for your clients. Advertise them as easy and cheap templates for small and start up businesses like yourself. You'd be amazed at how many people would go for a quick fix website solution. And the cost to you? Aside from time, almost nothing.
5) Cleaning service: Even if you hate cleaning you can start a lucrative cleaning service with little or no cash. You can go it alone by offering your services or you can create an agency by offering to managing the cleaners who will perform the jobs for your clients. All you need are competent and reliable personnel to clean and you can advertise the service cheaply or by word of mouth to find clients interested in your service. Most professionals with children need help in this department or small businesses who can't afford an Office Attendant on payroll.
6) Making Gift baskets: There is a lot of potential in starting a gift basket business, you can start from orders and use clients' deposits to create your baskets. Baskets are ideal gift ideas for birthdays and anniversaries and are extremely popular for special occasions; it can be generic or very personal. By making unique custom gift baskets you could carve a niche from a high demand market and get started with little or no cash.
7) Hairdressing: You know Jamaicans love to look good, and getting your hair done is one expense that we are not inclined to avoid. If you are skilled in the art of hairdressing then setting up a home practice is just right for you. Though many trendy hairstyles require equipment and tools, you could start out with doing those styles that require just your skill and a comb, like hair braiding. When the business picks up you can invest in equipment and improving your skill.
8) Consultancy: If you have any skill or professional training then you have everything you need to start your own consultancy business. Becoming a Business or Accounting or Public Relations consultant is easy to start, find people who need your services by posting small ads in the paper or on professional websites or even social networking sites for free. Once you get your first job, offer incentives for referrals to ensure a steady stream of clients. Most consultancies get their income from repeat business and referrals. So always make a good impression.
9) Catering Service: If you are a good cook or you know a good cook you can start a home based catering service. You should have all the equipment you need at home. You can provide daily lunch menus to nearby offices, or offer to cater for parties fundraisers or functions. The need for a good cook always exists. Specialty cuisine like vegetarian, Italian or Japanese will set you above the rest in what can be a very competitive but lucrative market. Ingredients can be costly but if you start out by dong only meal samples, then taking orders based on your samples, then you can ask for a deposit from the client to fund your first catering job.
10) Delivery or messenger service: If you have a car, motor cycle or even a bicycle and you have the time, then a delivery or messenger service might be the perfect business move for you. You can offer to pick up or deliver food, laundry, alcohol, people, letters and packages etc from various places in your community. Charge a delivery service fee of course. You can also most likely get additional income if you advertise clients' services on your delivery vehicle.
The common factor for all these suggested business ideas is that they are services. There is an inexhaustible list of services that you can offer for your home business. Services provide the easiest opportunity to start a business with no cash. Your capital is your expertise. The key is to identify what you are not only good at doing, but also what you enjoy doing. The next step is to start small, working with little or no capital is best accomplished when you start on a small scale. Finally, if you decide to do it, do it well. Even if it is a part time, home based business, your duty is to be professional and take it seriously.
Also note that as your business expands many of these service areas are regulated for health and safety reasons and will require licensing and or registration of some kind. Getting required certification and licensing will help to boost your professional image and client confidence.

Number 8 would be the best business to start if you want to start a business with no capital. All it needs is your knowledge about your profession so that you could help your clients in any way you can about their problems. It should be easy at the start because you'll be starting with less than 10 or 5 clients, but once your consulting business starts to grow, you should acquire customer relation management software so that you can file, and distinguish, the different cases of your clients.

Whistle-Blowers Seek SEC Bounties at a Rate of Seven per Day
Bounty-hunting corporate tipsters are filing reports of potential wrongdoing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at a rate of about seven per day, according to the first progress report from the agency's new whistle-blower program.
The public snapshot released last week counted 334 tips in the first 50 days after the program -- revamped under the Dodd-Frank Act -- became fully operational on Aug. 12.
The program gives whistle-blowers a share of proceeds if their tips lead to more than $1 million in penalties. So far, the top three categories of tips are those alleging market manipulation, problems with public disclosure or fraud in offerings.
"This is a red-hot area of awareness for us right now," said Gregory Keating, co-chair of the whistle-blowing practice group at Littler Mendelson PC in Boston, who expects the next reports will show an "exponentially" higher tip rate. "These claims can impact stock price. They can be incredibly expensive. It's something we need unequivocally to get ahead of."
Congress expanded the SEC's whistle-blower provisions after the agency failed to act on tips it received about Bernard Madoff's multibillion-dollar fraud. Companies that opposed the program said that offering bounties could undermine internal programs set up to collect and address employee concerns -- expensive systems the companies are legally required to operate.
Under the SEC program, a whistle-blower can be awarded between 10 and 30 percent of any money the SEC collects, depending on how central the tip was to proving the case.
'Large Payouts'
"The lowest amount they could get would be 10 percent of a million, which is $100,000," said Keating, whose clients say they are "moderately to highly concerned" about the program. "Large payouts mean more interest and more awareness by the plaintiffs' bar and by the public."
The bounty system technically went live as soon as Dodd-Frank was enacted in July 2010. In August, the SEC formally launched its reporting program, which includes a website where whistle-blowers can access an online tips system. At the current rate, the program is on course to collect 2,438 tips a year.
The highest number of U.S. tipsters come from the state of California, and the highest number outside the U.S. are from China, according to the report. That geography could be influenced by population, since California is the most populous U.S. state according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and China the world's most populous nation.
China has drawn recent attention for accounting problems at some of its U.S.-listed firms, highlighted on Nov. 10 by James Doty, chairman of the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, who said the market "mistrusts the value of the Chinese balance sheet."
Short Timeframe
The SEC report, covering the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30, tallies data from the time the program was fully operational to the end of the fiscal year. As a result, tips reported to the SEC before Aug. 12 aren't included -- a point that frustrates Stuart Meissner, a New York lawyer representing several securities-law whistle-blowers who filed prior to that date.
"People like us, as well as others, have filed whistle-blower complaints pursuant to the Dodd-Frank law, and they don't refer to them at all," he said.
No whistle-blower has collected yet from the SEC's $452 million bounty fund, which is financed from "a portion of monetary sanctions collected by the SEC in judicial or administrative actions," according to a 2010 agency report.
90-Day Window
In the SEC's system, the agency posts resolved cases on the whistle-blower office's website, and tipsters have 90 days to file claims for awards. The deadline in the first batch of 170 eligible cases was Nov. 11, the report said.
"We're going to continue to be out there to let people know the program exists and how to submit information and be eligible for an award," Sean McKessy, director of the whistle-blower office, said in an interview. This initial data "shows that people know about the program and they're submitting information in exactly the way they are supposed to," he said.
Dodd-Frank expanded the agency's previous whistle-blower program from one that offered smaller bounties only for insider-trading tips to a much broader effort. SEC officials responsible for policing the tips say their quality has improved since the program got under way and corporate concerns that the agency would be flooded by a wave of cash-chasing whistle-blowers haven't materialized.
"I'm not sure personally that the trends are going to change much," George Canellos, chief of the SEC's New York office, said at a legal conference last month.
'Some Uptick'
Since Dodd-Frank's enactment in July 2010, the agency has seen "some uptick" in the number of tips, SEC Chairman Mary Schapiro said in congressional testimony on June 21. "But I think the real measure is the quality of referrals and tips is better."
With the agency drawing back from random examinations of companies, Carlo di Florio's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is relying on the whistle-blower program to help keep firms "on their toes," he said in an interview.
"This is, I think, a key time for this program," Meissner said. The SEC could draw even more tips by advertising it like a state lottery: "They have to promote it, just like other reward programs."

WASHINGTON -- Without criticizing last week's votes on Capitol Hill, Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said lawmakers should have waited before voting to get rid of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
"Ideally, I would like the legislation to wait until we've completed the review so that we can look at how to implement it," Mullen told Fox News Sunday.
Democratic lawmakers are in a rush to repeal the policy and it's drawing more attention to the debate over homosexuals serving openly in the armed forces.
The votes come months before a Pentagon review investigating how the repeal of the ban on gays serving openly in the armed forces would affect military effectiveness.
"We've worked hard so far in this review to understand what's going on with respect to our troops. And I don't control the legislative calendar," Mullen said.
Still, Mullen says he supports the decision to repeal the ban - like Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who issued a video reminder to troops last week saying the repeal was deferred
"In other words, it would repeal Don't Ask, Don't Tell, but only after - and I repeat after - the ongoing Department of Defense high-level review is completed," Gates explained.
Supporters of the legislation believe the ban is discriminatory and should be abolished.
"I believe a majority of the Senate, just like a majority of the country - at least according to opinion polls - favor changing this policy," said Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee and a chief backer of changing the law.
But critics question the reasoning behind making a decision before the facts are in.
"What if the assessment comes back and says that soldiers and marines in significant numbers are not willing to continue in a voluntary service under these conditions?" Sen. Roger Wicker, R-Miss., asked.
Colin Powell, who was chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff when Don't Ask, Don't Tell became law, opposed allowing gays to serve openly at the time.
He now supports the repeal, but warns that some of the issues that surrounded the debate back then are still very much issues today.

J.K. Rowling says she broke down in tears as she finished writing the final chapters of the seventh and last Harry Potter novel.
"I was in a hotel room on my own. I was sobbing my heart out," she tells the BBC's Jonathan Ross. "I downed half a bottle of champagne from the mini-bar in one and went home with mascara all over my face. That was really tough."
But Rowling, 41, felt other emotions upon completing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, due out July 21.
"Finishing the book is a relief," she says. "I can feel more relaxed. I felt euphoria, devastated, when I finished one chapter near the end. I absolutely howled, it had been planned for so long."
The author also divulges her inspiration for the three main characters. Harry Potter, she says, is "totally imaginary," but Hermione Granger is a bit like her younger self ("I was quite swotty [nerdy] when I was a kid") and Ron Weasley is "a lot like my oldest friend Sean."
While Rowling has admitted that two characters die in the final book, she's mum on who they are. She does, however, address rumors that the final word in the book is "scar." "It was so for ages, and now it's not," she says. "Scar is quite near the end, but it's not the last word."

Historical Traveler Reviews Colony Hotel Miami Beach
Comfortable, fresh and modern!!!
I frequently travel to Miami for business and discovered the Colony Hotel about a year ago and haven't stayed anywhere else since. I have been in just about every room now in the hotel, and each one is just a little bit different than the other, but all are comfortable, crisp and designed with modern decor. The rooms have a West Elm feel, and are cozy, even for just one. With huge flatscreen TVs, sleek low platform beds and soft velvety throws, the rooms are perfect for unpredictable rainy days, or late night lounging after a few too many mojitos. The Colony is a great location to meet friends that I visit when I'm in town, not just for its cental location, but also because of the fresh mint green lobby, which is the perfect backdrop for a lazy lunch or an afternoon drink. Sheer curtains two-stories high create a peaceful scene as they fill with fresh ocean air and there is always nice-selected music playing during the day. The front desk, housekeeping, and restaurant staff is sincerely friendly and always extremely accomodating. I wouldn't stay anywhere else.
Let me start by saying that I was excited about the hotel due to its location. However, if it were not on Ocean Drive it may have never seen one single guest. As you enter the lobby, the peach colored cloth chairs are stained black with years of filth and the lobby itself looks like a make-shift bomb shelter. The elevator is old school so it has some charm but it is a death trap. Our room smelled of mold and paint thinner. It was actually too strong to stay in the room for more than 5 minutes. That was not the worst of it. The lead based paint was peeling, toilet seat looked like Star Jones was there last and I think a little kid had written with crayon all over the walls. If you layed on the bed you risked scoliosis and I could only imagine the bugs that lived in the mattress. When we went down to the front desk to complain about the smell they gave us another room, this room was just as bad but smelled like hot garbage. We lucked out and got a room at the Marriott which was a few blocks away. I think we spent a total of 10 minutes at the Colony and will never set foot in there again. There are plenty of other spots to stay unless you want to face death or disease.
More like an ant colony
This is the worst excuse for a hotel I have ever come across. If you enjoy rats AND roaches, look no further, as this place offers BOTH. You could reasonably pitch a tent on the beach and get bitten by fewer ants than if you stay at this dump. I still have not gotten over the rash I received from this place after my stay a month ago.
I decided to go to South Beach for the weekend in April with a friend and found a great deal at the Colony Hotel for $90 a night. I figured since it was right on Ocean Drive and it was the most "photograghed" hotel in Miami that it was going to be a great place...and who could go wrong with that price! I was so exited to get there and what a disappointment!!! The entrance and the hotel look very nice but once you get into the "elevator" the horror begins. The rooms were runned down and smelled like mildew. The service was terrible. They charge you an extra $5.00 a person per night for their continental breakfast (if that's what you want to call it), a bottle of water and room service. First of all...the breakfast sucked, I never got my bottle of water and my room was NEVER cleaned. I had to physically go get my bottle of water and towels at midnight even after I called for room service. The hotel is so old that the sinks have 2 faucets...one for hot water and one for cold water - so if you want warm water you have to splash both together! So if any one wants to stay at the Colony Hotel, please think it over. Even if you get a good deal your better off staying in a hotel 2 blocks away from the beach (that was the only good thing about the Colony Hotel - it is across the street from the beach) - but other then that 2 thumbs down!!!
Don't be fooled by the attractive curb appeal!!!
This � hotel� is the absolute most deplorable, dirty, disgusting, rude place I have ever stayed. Don� t be fooled by the attractive boutique type curb appeal of this property!!! I have stayed at motel 6� s that are cleaner, safer and more inviting then this dump!I stayed 3 nights in Mar of 2004. The only reason that I didn� t leave after the first night was because everything in the area was sold out. I was told that included with my room rate was a continental breakfast. However, when I went down to the lobby the next morning and had piece of bacon and a piece of toast. I was then approached by an employee who then informed me that I needed to pay $7.00 for the breakfast buffet. I explained that my room included cont. breakfast and she said that the cont. breakfast only consisted of coffee and toast. Juice and bacon was considered part of the buffet. There was no signage with specific details on what the Cont Breakfast consists of and what items are breakfast buffet worthy. There was no exception and I was made to pay $7.00 for my piece of bacon!The sleeping rooms were so disgusting and dirty; you would not want to walk around barefoot. Mini-blinds were filthy and broken. Mattress was so bad I felt like I was sleeping in a hammock and the sheets had cigarette burns in them. The doors privacy lock was broken, so you had no way to lock secure you door at night. The nightstands next to the bed had several pieces of chewing gum pressed onto the side that housekeeping decided to overlook for what appears to be several months.Friday night the hotel has an after hours club in the lobby and I was not able to fall asleep until around 5:00am!!!!I� ve stayed in a verity of places, but it is inexcusable when cleanliness and working locks are considered an UPGRADED AMENITY!!!
Hated the place
Don't be fooled by the airbrushed pictures and the cheap ads. The Colony hotel sounds like a great deal: oceanfront view, large clean rooms, free breakfast. The reality is that the rooms stink of mildew, the water pressure in the shower is that of a urine stream, the beds are old and rocky, the only view you have is that of the adjacent building, the continental breakfast consists of a couple slices of toast, and there isn't even a $5 alarm clock in the room.The staff is anything but helpful. Prior to my trip to South Beach Miami, I called and wanted to know if we could get a rollaway bed and if the rooms had irons. I was told that the rooms had irons and that the rollaway bed was possible but not promised. That was good enough for me. I got there to find out that the rooms had no irons and every time I asked about the rollaway bed I was told to speak to a different person. What really ticked me off was that I paid $180 per night for the room, and they had the nerve to charge an additional $5 per night for room maintenance which you have to pay at checkout. I stayed there for 7 nights but received only 5 nights worth of maid service. On top of that, I was forced to pay for all seven nights of maid service.The colony is without a doubt the WORST HOTEL I HAVE EVER STAYED IN. I would recommend staying somewhere on Washington and walking 2 blocks to the beach every day.
Reservations, but no Room
We had our reservations for over a month, but when we went to check in at Colony, there was not a room for us. The staff were very rude and did nothing to assist us with our lodging. If you want a hotel room for your vacation stay, don't make reservations here, because "It's not my problem" if they cancel your reservation and have "no room for you".
Room with a view equals no sleep
The Colony hotel located in South Beach, Florida on Ocean Drive was by far the worse hotel I have stayed at in a long time. When we arrived to our dismay we found our room with a view (ocean front) overlooked the noisiest road (Ocean Drive) in South Beach. You could hear every car and motorcycle that passed by along with every conversation or whistle by people walking the street. The Colony is also situated right in front of the popular motorcycle hang-out.
Besides the noise we also were very displeased with the room. The room was very small. The bathroom was filthy and had no room to stand. Any person larger than 5' or 150 pounds would have a problem using the sink or the toilet. We had to use sandals in the shower. The water from the shower head trinkled out like a hose running out of water. The room smelled like it had a mold problem behind the walls.
The pillows and bed spread were unbearable!!
Besides the location and proximity to the popular restaurants / bars on ocean drive this hotel has nothing to offer atleast for the room I stayed in.
To sum it up the room was filthy, very bright at night time and very noisy throughout the entire night.
Great value right on Ocean Drive
For those who want an ocean view, a pool, a terrace etc. then the Colony is not for you, However... if you want a clean safe and relatively quiet room in the perfect location of Ocean Drive and 7th Street then I would highly recommend the Colony. The hotel is an art deco classic with 'rustic' elevator but best of all it is well run with helpful and pleasant staff. They have a new dining room and basement bar. The rooms are basic but 'semi-upgraded' and have ceiling fan and air-con, bathrooms with shower (some still have original tubs). The hotel has a couple of 'ocean front' rooms but I guess the weekend noise of Ocean Drive would be fairly unpleasant. The standard rooms are to either side os the property and so although they have no view whatsoever they are quiet. We just paid $69 for the Halloween weekend which was a snip and even at $99 it's good value. You can walk to anywhere you want to be in South Beach and I would avoid a car as parking is a pain (valet parking is $16 a day) and taxis are cheap.
Safe, clean, small rooms
we paid around $90 a night for a room at the colony which I guess is a fair rate. The people who work there are really nice but the room was tiny. It was clean, but the bed spread was typically polyesterly gross. I would reccomend taking your own comforter and pillows. Though situated on a busy street, the room was actually pretty quiet. Overall, the Colony is okay, but I'll try someplace else next trip.

The presence and distribution of hydrogen in the lunar sub-surface is a matter of considerable scientific and economic interest. This ancient surface, like that of Mercury, encapsulates a barely adulterated record of the history of the terrestrial planets, and the likely association of hydrogen with water molecules can provide insights into the past few billion years.
This presentation contains a detailed comparison of maps of the hydrogen distribution near the lunar south pole made by the Lunar Prospector Neutron Spectrometer (LPNS) and the Lunar Exploration Neutron Detector Collimated Sensors for EpiThermal Neutrons (LEND CSETN). Epithermal neutrons reflect the hydrogen abundance in the top metre of the regolith, such that lower neutron count rate corresponds to higher hydrogen abundance.
There are three important ways in which measured maps of epithermal neutron count will be degraded representations of what actually leaves the lunar surface:
1) the instrumental footprint resulting from neutron detectors not solely counting neutrons from the nadir direction,
2) the local background due to neutrons produced when cosmic rays strike the spacecraft itself, and
3) the inevitable stochastic noise associated with the finite measurement periods.
Each of these observational artifacts leaves an imprint upon the measured map. With a suitable choice of statistical estimators it is possible to infer empirically the importance of each of these factors for each of the LPNS and LEND CSETN.
The two widely-used statistical estimators that will be employed are: i) the autocorrelation function, and ii) the power spectrum. The autocorrelation function of a map is a measure of the similarity between values in pixels at different relative position. This function depends not only on the intrinsic clustering properties of the count rate, but also on both the smoothing length imposed on the data by the instrumental spatial resolution and the amount of uniform background that is introduced. Qualitatively, on scales smaller than the instrumental footprint the correlation function will be approximately flat. The power spectrum is just the Fourier transform of the autocorrelation function and represents an alternative way of showing which spatial scales contain information.
Using the autocorrelation functions and power spectra of the polar count rate maps, it is shown that the LEND CSETN has a footprint that it is least as big as would be expected for an omni-directional detector at an orbital altitude of 50 km. The collimated flux into the field of view of the collimator is negligible. The maps of lunar polar hydrogen with the highest contrast, i.e. resolution, are those resulting from pixon image reconstruction of the LPNS data (Teodoro, 2010). These typically provide weight percentages of water equivalent hydrogen that are accurate to 30% within the polar craters.
The LEND CSETN commissioning orbit data showed that the count rate decreases with increasing altitude. This trend is the opposite of that from counts generated by cosmic rays striking the spacecraft itself, because the Moon provides less shielding at higher altitudes. The collimated count rate should be approximately independent of altitude, because it only depends upon the collimator field of view as the lunar neutron emission is almost constant surface brightness. The only component of neutron counts into the LEND CSETN that decreases with increasing altitude is that which depends upon the angle subtended by the Moon, ie the omni-directional lunar counts. These will have higher energies to penetrate into the detector while not coming through the small collimator field of view, and constitute a significant, spatially-varying background.
The low count rate in the vicinity of Shoemaker crater determined from the LEND CSETN data was found to be consistent with a statistical fluctuation superimposed on a broad suppression in count rate of the sort produced by an omni-directional, spatially-varying high energy epithermal neutron background. If the lunar neutron count rate measured by the LEND CSETN was predominantly collimated, then there should be large count rate fluctuations present across the polar regions. That these are not observed in the autocorrelation function or power spectrum for the LEND CSETN map is evidence that the collimated fraction of the count rate is very low, and the effective footprint of the LEND CSETN is significantly larger than the collimator field of view.

The right lane of northbound Interstate 435 past the Blue Parkway exit has reopened after a rollover crash.
A car flipped over and landed upside down just off the right side of the highway.
A fire truck and an ambulance came to the scene but left a short time later. There was no immediate word of injuries.
The right lane of the highway was closed, but the wreck never seemed to have a big impact on the flow of traffic.

A Plucky Couple Fights for Their New Home as Racism Stirs Their Philadelphia Neighborhood
Inside her home, Carol Fox, 30 and white, appeals to the one comfortable object in sight. She looks over at a slim artificial Christmas tree, decorated with tinsel and tiny silver ropes and balls by herself, her husband, Gerald, 32, who is black, and their children, Emma, 10, and Geramiah, 5. "We would like the neighbors to know," Carol says quietly, "that we're just like them, if only they'd give us a chance."
In its raw racism, the harassment of the Foxes seems like a throwback to another time: the pre-Selma '60s. Or another place: "Hey, neighbor! Is this Philly or Johannesburg?" reads one handbill being distributed by an anti-racist group on the Foxes' street. Yet this is happening in 1985, in a northeastern city, run by its first black mayor, W. Wilson Goode.
Last October, Carol, an Englishwoman, and Gerald, a receiving clerk for an electronics firm, bid successfully on the house, owned by the Veterans' Administration, in largely white southwest Philadelphia. The Foxes and a black couple, whom they don't know, moved into houses seven blocks apart just before Thanksgiving. Carol expected that her family might encounter some friction, but, she says, "I thought if they didn't like me they just wouldn't talk to me."
Instead, as they moved in, they were taunted by teenagers screaming, "Nigger! You've got it coming! You'd better move!" That night they discovered that the marauders who had invaded their home left behind a peculiarly ominous threat: On the basement floor was a gasoline-soaked rag. Four nights later a mob of some 200 whites appeared in front of their house chanting epithets.
Since then the "neighbors" have become less visible. Under an emergency decree imposed by Mayor Goode, no more than four people may congregate near the Foxes' home. The controversy has attracted out-of-town groups, including the International Committee Against Racism, which supports the Foxes. Klansmen left cards on autos, and Richard Barrett, a self-proclaimed congressional candidate from Jackson, Miss., dropped by to offer his epigram on segregation. "Redbirds don't mix with bluebirds," he said, "and some birds have more sense than some people."
To such insults, Gerald Fox responds with humor. "One lady on a local TV newscast said that blacks and whites can't live together. Well, look at us," he says, "we've lived together for years." The couple met in Aviano, Italy in 1973, where Fox, then an Air Force staff sergeant, was stationed and Carol, raised in Oxfordshire, was working at a local pizzeria. After marriage they lived first in Aviano, then England, but eventually Philadelphia because, Gerald explains with some irony, "I'd been telling my kids how great America was. I'm embarrassed." When they learned about the VA properties, Gerald liked the potential of the house. It bore scars from its previous occupiers—a white motorcycle gang—but, says Gerald, "I knew I could fix it up."
Now, of course, the question is whether the $22,000 house is worth the strain. The black couple moved out after pellets were fired through their windows. But the Foxes have been encouraged to stay. Some neighbors paid welcoming visits, flowers and homemade cookies have arrived, and local craftsmen have offered to help repair the vandalism. Mainly there are letters—dozens of them—with a single message: "Please don't give up."
So far, the Foxes show no intention of doing so. "It's the house I bought," says Gerald. "It's our house, and we hope eventually we'll be accepted."
Carol recalls a recent heart-to-heart with daughter Emma: "We told her that we're going to be all right and we'd always be together as a family. What she said was, 'All these people ought to be keeping up with the times.' "

Glitter, anything that shines and the beautiful design style of the Art Nouveau period are personal favorites of mine. I love wicked, clever pieces and try to keep my store stocked with them. Lately I am working in demons and devils with a fun twist. More pirate and Marie pieces with ships are coming soon too. I am still enamored with Mexican design and the beautiful headdresses worn by Frida. Day of the Dead designs always inspire me. Skulls and skeletons are always creeping into my designs. Cultures and the beauty and the variance inherit in each one is a personal passion. So many amazing cultures, so many places to visit, so many people to learn about. So many lovely things to create, so little time. But who needs sleep anyways? I have plenty of coffee and there is something to watch on Netflix.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my creations. I hope you enjoy what you see. If you end up purchasing through my Etsy store front be sure to send me pictures. I love to see how you end up wearing my pieces, your imagination never fails to amaze me. I may even include your picture in my personal portfolio. On Instagram be sure to use the hashtag #coquettishlyadorned. I love my clients, without you I am just another glitter covered crazy woman. THANK YOU!

Let Me Try! How I Taught My Kids How To BrushRene Syler
When my children were younger, like all kids they wanted to do what mommy and daddy did. Of course that meant that mommy and daddy worried that they were doing what they saw and not getting their teeth clean. So we developed the "let me try" approach which went a little something like this:
For finding spots that needed to be flossed before they brushed we would "try" to find food particles between their teeth. Sometimes we eye-balled it; others, we would find food with the floss. If we found it with the floss we "failed" our first try, but that was okay because their teeth were still clean.
During the brushing phase it was hard to get them to do more than wiggle their arms up and down, imitating the movements, but not really getting their teeth clean. So we would encourage them to "let me try" to brush their teeth. The flip side to that would be to let them try to brush our teeth. This was when we took the time to show them proper technique because, as any parent knows, young kids are very hard to teach.
As for rinsing their mouth it was hard to get them to learn how to do this without swallowing it. So we started giving them water in the bathtub and they would "try" to get the water to the wall like we did instead of swallowing it. This started well before we actually gave them any of the rinse, but having the practice made us feel comfortable that they would have the skill when the time came.
Getting kids to take care of their teeth has to be taken from the "fun" to the "necessary" because healthy habits are so important to start early. My husband and I tried, and I'm happy to report, we are greeted with brilliantly white smiles from the now teenagers from time to time.
A big thanks to Listerine Kids for sponsoring this campaign. Click here to see more of the discussion.

Day 1 is officially under my belt, and it went really well. My only complaint is the lack of food choices. I'm in a very frustrating financial situation, which won't be resolved for another 10 days. And I definitely don't have 10 days worth of food. *facepalm*
I have a lot planned for Day 2. Going to get my motorcycle permit so I can (legally) ride my bike, followed by a walk/run at the lake. Also, we'll see what I can get for $50 at the farmers market.

Tilapia Swims Best in Butter

An Amazing No-Cook Cranberry Sauce
If you can find kumquats you owe it all your Thanksgiving diners to make this. Strong words, strong relish.
A Stuffing Even I Think Is Simple
"Yum, like croutons" said my boyfriend's brother upon tasting this. I would say it was a very nice, very easy, savory stuffing.
My First Thanksgiving Turkey
I just cooked my first turkey. Sure, I've been a sous (or, really, a sous-sous) turkey chef in the past, but I had never had the sole responsibility of preparing the bird. My family has had everything from Butterballs to Heritage Turkeys, but I decided to acknowledge the worldwide financial downturn and just get the least expensive one.
Mashed Potatoes That Let Me Down
I thought that these were going to be explosively flavorful. And while they were full of flavor they weren't explosive, and while non-explosive potatoes might sound like a good thing, I was a tiny bit let down.
The Easiest Veggie Recipe I've Ever Cooked
These Brussels sprouts were the easiest vegetable I've ever cooked (other than defrosting spinach). I think even children would eat them—just don't tell them what they are.
Learning to Make Apple Pie
My last pie for Project Recipe was a horrible mess. This pie fared somewhat better. I had some aesthetic qualms with the crumble aspect of the topping but the crust turned out pretty well! And the filling was downright delicious.
A Great Butternut Squash Soup for Fall
Even though it's balmy in LA, this tasted like fall. I wasn't sold on the breadcrumbs, but they were a great addition. My only beef with this soup is that it's a little thin. I will do six cups of squash when I make it next time.
Quick and Easy Mini Chicken Pot Pies
These pot pies were quick to make, easy to bake, and went over big at the dinner table. Generally I have a real take-it-or-leave-it attitude towards chicken pot pie, but I would like to eat this once a week until next spring.

Airlines Market Research Reports & Industry Analysis
Airlines are highly leveraged, and as such they must buy or lease new aircrafts and engines on a regular basis, as well as settle on decisions for their fleet, keeping in mind the goal of meeting market demand while operating a fleet that remains economical for the industry. In order to maintain the services an airline offers, they must handle the associated costs effectively. Labor, IT services and networks, aviation insurance, engines, spare parts, fuel, handling services, training, sales distribution, catering, and equipment are only some examples of the price of operating an airline. Most of the profit an airline turns over from ticket sales is used to pay to keep the airline in business. Airlines are also held accountable for upholding the government regulations that apply to aircrafts. For example, if a passenger boards an international flight without the correct documentation, the airline has to return the passenger to the initial country.

Free Credit Report
On December 1, 2003, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act was signed into law and gave all Americans the right to check their credit report annually...At no cost! As of March 1, 2005, residents of the Midwest are able to order this report free of charge. Consumers may obtain their report at
or by calling 1-877-322-8228. You will be required to provide your Social Security number, date of birth, address and new location if you have moved within the past two years.
A credit report contains information about where someone lives, how their bills are paid and whether they've been sued or filed for bankruptcy. Credit reports are sold to creditors, insurers, employers, and other businesses to evaluate applications of credit, insurance, employment and other personal information. By checking your credit report, you can make sure your information is accurate and up-to-date.
How do I get a healthy credit score?
Pay Bills on Time! Responsibly paying your bills and repaying your loans is important to having a good credit rating.
Pay at least the minimum! Failing to pay at least the minimum amount required could cause your accounts to be marked past due, and that will make it less likely for lenders to view you as a worthwhile credit risk.
Keep overall debt low! Creditors and lenders will view you very cautiously if they see you already have a lot of debt. They will be far less likely to offer you favorable limits and the lowest rates.
Limit your total number of credit cards! Owning too many credit cards is unwise. Lenders will look at how far into debt you may potentially find yourself it you get into trouble and "max-out" your credit limits.
Check your credit report for errors! When you receive your free report, check it right away for mistakes. Make sure all the accounts on the report are yours. Also, check to see if there are any reports of late payments that you believe are in error. Finally, look for information about credit cards you have forgotten about and would like to cancel.

Leona Lewis
Leona Lewis talks to Closer and www.deanpiper.com.
She's shot to global stardom and sold five million albums worldwide since winning The X Factor two years ago. But while singing sensation Leona Lewis may have all the credentials of a pop diva, she certainly hasn't let the fame go to her head.
Softly spoken, unfailingly polite and self-deprecating, Leona laughs when I ask what sort of entourage she has now she's a superstar, admitting: "I don't have a PA, any security travelling with me or a stalker – I'm glad about that last one!"
In fact, Leona says former mentor Simon Cowell is trying to get her to become more of a diva!
"I remember Simon telling me that now I'd finished my first album he wanted to hear more demands from me when I work," she says. "I thought it was funny – I don't need anything special to be happy. I have everything I need. I don't need to order people around. I'm still the same Leona. Simon's still the most famous person in my phone – he'll love the fact I said that!"
There is one aspect of superstardom that size 10-12 Leona says she will never get used to – being photographed in her bikini. She admits to being mortified when, last December, she was snapped holidaying in Barbados with her boyfriend of six years,Lou Al-Chamaa, 23.
"Being pictured in my bikini was a nightmare – especially for somebody like me. I'm a normal-sized girl and it's embarrassing. Nobody wants to see rough-looking bikini shots of themselves from every dodgy angle."
But she admits she's glad to be a positive role model. "Oh well, at least I'm a real girl," she smiles. "I want to be a role model for normal girls. I don't want my picture in the papers when I'm having private time, though. I really want to keep my personal life private. Celebrities only go crazy because they are constantly in the papers."
Still, there seems little chance of the down-to-earth singer following in the footsteps of troubled stars such as Britney Spears – thanks to a solid family and her steady relationship with electrician Lou, who she's known for more than 10 years.
She proudly wears a diamond eternity ring he gave her, and says: "I hope one day we'll walk down the aisle. To keep things good, we've had to work hard at the relationship – he flies out to be with me when I'm abroad.
"We have been together a long time and we are both doing our own things. It's the same for everyone who becomes successful – you don't just dump your friends and family for a new crowd. I wouldn't do that."
Leona, whose hectic schedule sees her travelling back and forth from London to LA, says she's ecstatic to have been able to buy the London pad she and Lou used to rent. She says: "I'm a bit rubbish at spending money really. I was renting a flat in London and I decided to buy that, which is nice. But I'm not in a position to buy all my family houses yet. I can lend people a fiver though – put it that way."
And while she may not want to turn into a skinny celeb, she admits that LA life has helped her tone up. "I ride horses in LA and I do spinning classes," she says. "I don't do crunches or anything like that. I wouldn't want to spend my life working out and worrying about my figure. My best body part is my smile, but I don't like my arms – they're not toned enough and I can't be bothered to work on them!"
In between LA trips, Leona is keeping a close eye on this year's X Factor.
She says she was outraged by the exit of hot favourite Laura White. "People have something wrong with their ears as far as I'm concerned," she says. "It was a total shock – viewers need to vote to keep the good people in."
As she prepares to leave the interview I ask if – like Christina Aguilera, the Spice Girls and Madonna – she has her own doll. She giggles and says: "There's not a Leona doll yet – but I definitely want one. I'll demand one!"
About time, too!

Ruth Fischer
|Ruth Fischer
|Elfriede Eisler
11 December 1895
|13 March 1961 (aged 65)
|Alma mater
|University of Vienna
|politician, member of Reichsrat (1924–1928)
|Years active
|Known for
|charter member of the Austrian Communist Party, anti-communism
|Rudolph Eisler (father), Marie Edith Fischer (mother)
|Gerhart Eisler and Hanns Eisler (brothers)
Ruth Fischer (11 December 1895 – 13 March 1961) was a German Communist and a co-founder of the Austrian Communist Party in 1918. She later became a staunch anti-Communist activist and, according to secret information declassified in 2010, was a key agent of the American intelligence service known as "The Pond".
Fischer was born Elfriede Eisler in Leipzig in 1895, the daughter of Marie Edith Fischer and Rudolf Eisler, a professor of philosophy at Leipzig but of Austrian nationality.[1] Her father was Jewish and her mother was Lutheran.[2][3][4]
She was the elder sister to noted film and concert composer Hanns Eisler and fellow communist activist Gerhart Eisler. She studied philosophy, economics and politics at University of Vienna, where her father was working.[5]
At an undisclosed time, she adopted her mother's maiden name as part of her writer's name, "Ruth Fischer."[1]
Fischer moved to Berlin in 1919 and was a leader of the Communist Party of Germany from 1924 to 1925.
Heinrich Brandler was the leader of the Communist Party of Germany. In the early months of 1923, Ruth Fischer and Arkadi Maslow urged Brandler to organize an uprising on the model provided by the Bolsheviks in 1917. [6] Together they developed the "theory of the offensive". Fischer denounced the leadership for "making concessions to social democracy", for "opportunism" and for "ideological liquidationism and theoretical revisionism". Chris Harman, the author of The Lost Revolution (1982) has pointed out: "Articulate and energetic, they were able to gather around them many of the new workers who had joined the party." [7]
In 1923, Fischer appealed to a group of Nazi students, proclaiming that "Those who call for a struggle against Jewish capital are already, gentlemen, class strugglers, even if they don't know it. You are against Jewish capital and want to fight the speculators. Very good. Throw down the Jewish capitalists, hang them from the lamp-post, stamp on them."[8]
Ruth Fischer argued that the Communist Party of Germany leaders were saying: "In no circumstances must we proclaim the general strike. The bourgeoisie will discover our plans and destroy us before we have moved. On the contrary, we must calm the masses, hold back our people in the factories and the unemployed committees until the government thinks the moment of danger has passed." [9] Joseph Stalin arranged for her to be expelled from the party in 1926.
Espousing left-wing positions, she was a member of the Reichsrat from 1924 to 1928. She fled to Paris in 1933.
In 1941, Fischer left France for the United States.[1]
In 1947, she testified before HUAC against her brothers Gerhart and Hanns. Her testimony against Hanns resulted in his blacklisting and deportation. She testified that Gerhart was an important Comintern agent.[1]
Communist press denounced her as a "German Trotskyite". She propounded critical views of Stalinism and called for a rebirth of Communism after Stalin's death. Before this period of anti-Stalinism, she had supported the rise to power of the Triumvirs (Stalin, Grigory Zinoviev, and Lev Kamenev), denouncing Trotsky at the fifth congress of the Communist International.[citation needed]
Isaac Deutscher, a biographer of Trotsky and Stalin, described her as a "young, trumpet-tongued woman, without any revolutionary experience or merit, yet idolized by the Communists of Berlin."[10]
In 1955, Fischer returned to Paris and published her books Stalin and German Communism and Die Umformung der Sowjetgesellschaft.
The Pond[edit]
From eight years after the second World War, Fischer, code-named "Alice Miller", was a key agent for "The Pond".[11]
Death and afterwards[edit]
Fischer died in Paris in 1961, aged 65, from undisclosed causes.[5]
She had one child, Ger(h)ard Friedländer, a mathematician, who died in the United Kingdom in 2001.[12]
The International Institute of Social History has an archive of her papers.[12]

Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous is an American television series that aired in syndication from 1984 to 1995. The show featured the extravagant lifestyles of wealthy entertainers, athletes and business moguls.
It was hosted by Robin Leach for the majority of its run. When Leach was joined by Shari Belafonte in 1994, the show was renamed Lifestyles with Robin Leach and Shari Belafonte. Leach ended each episode with a wish for his viewers that became his signature catch phrase, "champagne wishes and caviar dreams."
Lifestyles was one of the first shows to feature the lives of the wealthy. Later shows such as VH1's The Fabulous Life Of... continued this trend. The show was largely intended to be an insight into the opulent residences and the glamorous lifestyles of those it profiled. However, many of the geographic areas it covered were ideal destinations for vacations, and in his on-camera appearances, Leach indirectly made references to resorts and tourist attractions. David Greenspan aka David Perry,[1] who was the voice-over narrator for most of the segments during the bulk of the show's run and could be heard whenever Leach did not appear on camera, made more direct references to such resorts and such tourist attractions during his tenure as the show's voice-over narrator.
Lifestyles was created by Alfred M. "Al" Masini, who had also created Solid Gold, Entertainment Tonight, and Star Search; all of these were part of his Operation Prime Time project, which he later renamed Television Program Enterprises and later merged with Rysher Entertainment to form Rysher TPE.[2]

Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani expressed his fears of a possible coup by the Army to a British diplomat over a phone call this week, AP reported on Friday.
According to the diplomat, the "panicky" call suggested that there was a general fear among the Pakistani government officials of a military takeover.
"Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani asked High Commissioner Adam Thomson for Britain to support his embattled government," AP reported.
However, according to a statement released by the Prime Minister House, Gilani had not made any such call.
The recent political development in the country has deepened the rift between the military and the government, with Gilani stating that army chief General Ashfaq Pervez Kayani and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) chief Lt Gen Ahmad Shuja Pasha had not been given approval by the 'competent authorities' – in other words the government – before submitting their responses in the Memogate case.
