The fourth in a series about local cancer survivors.
Last year at this time, I wrote an article for "Relay for Life" concerning my recently diagnosed breast cancer. Since last year, I have completed six chemo treatments; had a mastectomy; had 30 radiation treatments (which involved going to Louisville every day, Monday-Friday); had reconstruction surgery and then a "redo" surgery.
Thanks so much for your help and support of the Mt. Tabor Baptist Church cookout and auction on April 9. Several area businesses made donations and through their generosity and those who attended the cookout and auction, we were able to raise over $7,500 toward the retirement of the debt on our Christian Life Center.
I don't know about you but I'm getting really tired of the storms every day and night. I'm a person that requires sleep, not some sleep or interrupted sleep, I need continuous sleep and lately that's just not even a possibility.
LaRue County's Relay for Life is May 13-14 at Hodgenville Elementary School.
When the pain in Sammy Powell's right side continued to plague him in September 2002, he made an appointment with his doctor not thinking too much about the outcome. His doctor felt a growth and exploratory surgery revealed that it was a cancerous tumor, specifically non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Childhood is supposed to be an age of innocence, but for too many in the Commonwealth it's a time of suffering. In 2009 a report revealed that Kentucky led the nation in the number of children who die as a result of abuse and neglect. Statistics show that every minute in Kentucky, two children are victims of abuse and neglect that can leave emotional and physical scars that last a lifetime. No doubt there are countless more cases that go unreported.
The second of several stories about local cancer survivors.
In the summer of 1998 Carol Routt was enjoying her life with her husband Ray and two teenage children Charaye and Heath. Her large extended family and friends were very much a part of her life but she would not know how much she would come to depend on them until later that summer.
Carol found a small lump in her breast during a monthly self-exam. So not only was school scheduled to begin the first of August for this loyal Hodgenville Elementary School instructional assistant, but so was a mammogram.
My little brown dog Monroe is celebrating his 16th birthday this month.
That makes him something like 100 in human years.
He's had several health issues lately but in many ways, he's still the same rescue pup the kids and I picked out those many years ago. Back then, he was a quiet, intelligent little creature with big soulful brown eyes. If we had to get a pup – and the kids were insistent – he was just the one I wanted.
A few weeks back I was invited to speak in front of doctors, lawyers, nurses, teachers and a slew of other important people.
As nervous as I could be, knees knockin' and all, I walked to the front of the room.
"Um, Urhm, I'm Candis and I'm glad to be here today." I'm almost sure you're reading this like I sounded professional. No, it wasn't. Read it like this "Um, Urhm, I'm Candis (screech) and I'm glad (stutter) to be here today." Yeah, that sounds more like it.

Australian Jason Day to play World Cup of Golf despite losing eight family members in the Philippines' Typhoon Haiyan
- From: Gold Coast Bulletin
- November 18, 2013
AUSTRALIAN golfer Jason Day has spoken for the first time about losing eight relatives when Typhoon Haiyan smashed the Philippines earlier this month.
In a statement released today by the PGA tour, Day said "I am deeply saddened to confirm that multiple members of my family lost their lives as the victims of Typhoon Haiyan."
"My family and I are thankful for all who have reached out with their prayers and concern.
"We feel devastated for all who have been affected by this horrific tragedy."
Day's mother, Dening, had earlier told the Gold Coast Bulletin that the player's uncle, grandmother and six cousins died in the typhoon, which has killed nearly 4,000 people and left more than a thousand missing.
She explained the family's desperate race to find their missing relatives in the days after the storm and that heartache when they discovered the scale of their loss.
Beaudesert-raised Day, who was attending a corporate outing in Melbourne today, is expected to play in this weekend's World Cup of Golf.
He will hold a press conference with Australian Masters winner Adam Scott on Wednesday.
He asked for privacy as his family came to grips with the devastating loss.
"While I understand the media's interest in this matter and hope that any coverage can spread awareness to assist with the relief efforts that continue in the Philippines, I hope that all will respect my family's privacy during this difficult time," he said.
"I will have no further public comments at this time. Please pray for all who have suffered loss. Thank you."
Earlier: JASON Day will play this week's World Cup of Golf in Melbourne with the burden of knowing eight relatives, including his grandmother, perished in the Philippines typhoon.
Among the thousands killed by the massive storm were Day's grandmother, an uncle and six cousins.
One aunt was found alive despite being swept to another village, while another aunt's family survived after binding themselves together with rope and taking refuge in an attic.
Speaking exclusively with the Gold Coast Bulletin, Day's mother, Dening, who migrated to Australia from the Philippines three decades ago, said her globe-trotting son had been told of the tragedies but she was yet to speak to him personally.
"My daughter has been updating him but I don't want to bother him because he has commitments," she said.
"There will be plenty of time to talk after (the World Cup). He's representing his country so I don't want him worrying about anything apart from golf."
With the family keen to shield Beaudesert-raised Day, sister Yanna added: "He keeps asking how Mum's doing and you can just reassure him as much as you possibly can that she's OK. We're with her and she's fine."
Having grown up in the region devastated by Typhoon Haiyan, and with her mother and two of her 10 siblings still living there, Mrs Day said she feared the worst when she was unable to contact them for several days after the storm.
"It was so hard because we couldn't get hold of anybody," she said.
"My sister's daughter was in Taiwan and she was pleading on Facebook for someone to let her know what was happening. She couldn't get any news so she phoned her brother in Manila and told him to drive (to their village).
"That was an 18-hour drive and when he got there he saw it was devastated and that their father, six sisters and grandmother were all gone and their mother was missing.
"My daughter saw an update posted on Facebook and phoned me to translate it. She spelled out the words and I just said `they're all gone'. We thought my entire family had died and it was three days later we found out some had lived."
One of Day's aunts survived after being separated from her mother, husband and six children, all who died.
"They own a beach resort in Basey Samar and didn't have time to get to higher ground," Mrs Day said.
"We don't know where she got swept to but they found her in a village an hour's drive away ... I have no idea how her health is.
"My eldest sister is based in Tacloban City and her family tied themselves together in the attic and survived ... her family are fine but they lost their house, everything.
"It's such an unknown. My sister said don't send money or any packages because they can't get them. They don't have any food, just bananas from the trees that are still standing."
While Day's sister Kim was the only one of the siblings who had met their grandmother and extended family, Yanna said the loss had impacted them all.
"They were family," she said.
"There has been talk about whether the rest of us should go back to the Philippines to help but it seems like we can't do anything ... Mum's a very tough woman but I know she mourns privately."
Mrs Day said: "I do. I have to be strong for my children but when I'm asleep and alone, I mourn ... the waiting is the worst, especially at night-time when you're not busy. That's when all the worst thoughts come."

BURNHAM - One woman was injured after she lost control of her vehicle on West Freedom Avenue Tuesday afternoon, according to a release from Mifflin County Regional Police Department.
The release stated that Deborah Spigelmyer, 58, of McClure, was traveling east on West Freedom Avenue by Kmart. According to the release, Spigelmyer told police she saw a large truck approaching her from the west and, because she was traveling near the center line of the road, was afraid she might hit the truck. The release stated she then sharply turned the steering wheel to the right and her 1998 Ford Explorer traveled off the right side of the road and onto the shoulder. According to the release, Spigelmyer told police she then panicked and tried to bring her vehicle back onto the road by turning the steering wheel to the left.
The release stated that witnesses saw Spigelmyer jerk the steering wheel to the right. According to the release, Spigelmyer's vehicle left the right side of the road and then the front bumper hit the guardrail. The release stated the vehicle then rolled over and came to a stop on its roof in the middle of West Freedom Avenue.

Emergency crews work the scene of a one vehicle accident Tuesday afternoon. One woman was taken to the hospital for a head injury after her vehicle rolled over on West Freedom Avenue, in Burnham.
According to the release, Spigelmyer sustained several cuts on her head in the accident and was transported to Geisinger-Lewistown Hospital Emergency Room for treatment. According to the release, Spigelmyer was using her seatbelt, which police believe helped to keep her injuries minor.
The release stated that her vehicle had to be towed from the scene.
Police were assisted on the scene by the Yeagertown and Reedsville fire companies, Fame EMS and the Derry Township Fire Police.

Read the book now.
I have reading reading the blogs and have been seeing stories (WITH THE PROOF OF BEFORE AND AFTER PICS) about people who are getting lean and having weight loss success with a primal paleo eating lifestyle..i'm still miffed..how is this possible eating fats????
correct me for being a bit naive but this is very intriguing and inspiring
Read the book now.
You lousy kids! Get off my savannah!
Because for individuals with a normal metabolism, fat loss isn't about eating low fat/carbs/protein, moderate fat/carbs/protein, high fat/carbs/protein....
It's about creating a calorie deficit. Easy peasy.
Read the Primal 101 threads on Mark's blog, and be enlightened. Fat is GOOD for you. It's sugar, grains, and starchy carbs that will make you fat and sick.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

My Success Story: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forum/thread30615.html
I read the book before finding this forum and I can say I got the fat message from here, not from the book. I also read Cordain in Paleo Diet and I took a specific LOW fat message from that. Whether or not I am so blinded by CW that I just am not getting it I cannot say.
I think it was one of your posts specifically Grizz that drove it home for me. It is critical to eat healthy fats and the proof is the $300 odd that I just had to spend on winter clothes because nothing in my closet fits any more and this after just 2 months.

Talk about your throwback to the 1960s or very early '70s! LEGEND is one of those albums that if you don't listen closely, you might mistake for a long lost '70s Black Sabbath demo had Ronnie James Dio been auditioning for the band that far back. While it doesn't pack the punch of the great Black Sabbath, the vibe and the aura of doom metal is all over this record. To say the least, Witchcraft is not merely a copycat band though. They have their own vibe that gloriously waves the influence of Black Sabbath on it, but also features a more straight forward rock sound that will make you 80s rockers jump for joy. LEGEND is a very cool release.
Formerly a Pentagram tribute band, Witchcraft have developed their own niche over the last 12 years. Listening to LEGEND, it's clear that these guys get what Doom Metal is supposed to be about, but have the drive to do something a bit more modern to facilitate their great vocalist Magnus Pelander. Pelander is all over the map musically, but all of it proves that you don't have to be a shred throated screamer to succeed in this style of music. Listening to songs like "Flag Of Fate", you hear a very modern sounding voice that reminds at times of Aaron Lewis of Staind. Still, other songs like "Deconstruction" have a much more classic Dio-esque sound to them vocally. Pelander is a fantastic and versatile singer, and he showcases it well here.
Let's be honest though, the strength to this band and any other Doom Metal band comes from the guitars. This is where Witchcraft shine the brightest. Not only are guitarists Simon Solomon and Tom Jondelius excellent players, but they have been recorded masterfully on LEGEND. Riffing through songs like "It's Not Because Of You", you really get to hear the bigness of their combined sound. It's really great work here. There are fuzzed out guitars in parts, but for the most part, their tuning is in the same range as a big 80s arena rock band, which just fills out the sound beautifully. They are grounded by the extremely stable and entertaining bottom end provided by drummer Oscar Johansson and bassist Ola Henriksson. Johansson is particularly good here, with a very big, full sound rarely found in this kind of music. From start to finish, every aspect of LEGEND works.
PITRIFF RATING - 87/100 - Without question, Witchcraft is a Doom Metal band that just gets what it should be about in 2012. Their music pays homage to their heroes of the past, but also steps into the modern age in quality, sound and production value. Their songs could be a little stronger, but for what this is, it's one of the more entertaining listens of the last year. Recommended.

Since the running boom of the 1970s, Marc Embler has established himself as one of the most accomplished and enduring runners in the Palmetto State.
But Embler, the only Charleston area male to win the Cooper River Bridge Run, admits to having one recurring problem in races over the years.
"I've probably gone off course 15 times," admits the 56-year-old North Charleston resident, adding that it even occurred at a race last summer after he had run the course at least eight times before.
Embler reflects on his racing quirk.
"That's kind of like my life. Sometimes when I'm not focused on my faith and where I need to be going, I get off course. When I look over my life, the most peaceful and productive times are when I have my head up and I'm focused on where I'm supposed to go."
As many of his fellow com- petitive runners in their 50s find difficulty in maintaining a racing edge, Embler's focus and renewed commitments in recent years have paid off with remarkable and consistent running performances.
In 2009 at the age of 52, he finished the ING New York City Marathon in 2:51:07. Since turning 55, he has set five new state age group records, including the 8K, 10K, 12K, half-marathon and marathon, so far, for men ages 55-59.
Last year, he was the grand masters (age 50+) champion for the Bridge Run with a state age group record of 36 minutes, 19 seconds and was voted as the U.S. Track & Field's male masters runner of the year for South Carolina by peers.
Arguably, he is running on an age-graded level comparable to the days when he was breaking 30 minutes in the 10K in the early 1980s, in the years following running for the former Baptist College on a full scholarship.
Finding his soulmate
Embler's recent successes on the road have come during a transitional period in his life, both professionally and personally.
Faced with mandatory retirement from a "hazardous duty" job at the U.S. Probation Office, where he worked for 24 years, Embler went back to college, Anderson University, for a master's degree in criminal justice.
In 2011, he landed a job at his alma mater, now Charleston Southern University, as the chairman of the criminal justice department. He also finally put a doctorate in education, which he received in 1989, to use.
"When people started referring to me as Dr. Embler, I'd look around and say, 'What?' "
But the bigger difference in his life came when he met his future wife, Ruth Marie, on a group run from the On The Run running store in the summer of 2009.
Store owner Irv Batten had told Embler in advance about a female runner who had recently moved from Greenville and had been on the popular TV show "Survivor," specifically Panama Exile Island, which premiered in February 2006. Embler recalls that he didn't know much about the show at the time.
The group went for 10 miles. When they got back to the store, Ruth Marie asked if anyone wanted to run more. Though he had run all he wanted, Marc volunteered and the two headed over the Cooper River bridge together for another six miles.
Afterward, Embler told her about a 5K race series on Daniel Island and asked for her phone number to tell her more about it later.
At the time, the furthest thing from Ruth Marie's mind was getting into a relationship. The recession had devastated her industry, shopping center leasing, and she moved to Charleston for a more secure job.
"One hundred percent of my focus was dedicated to saving myself financially," she recalls.
But the two were the proverbial case of "two peas in a pod" with eerily similar backgrounds.
Both were born in the same hospital in Anderson, just three months apart (Ruth Marie is older). Her church was across from his grandmother's house.
She played softball on Embler Field in Anderson and basketball against his cousins.
Before Marc and Ruth Marie were married in December 2011, they had been married twice before and have two grown children each, all born within a seven-year time frame.
And then there is the shared love of competitive running throughout their adulthood. (Ruth Marie was the S.C. female master's runner of the year in 2013). They often have recounted races that both ran over the decades and shared "common space" without meeting. In 2002, Marc ran the Bridge Run easy and finished in 38:33. Ruth finished 19 seconds later.
As Christians, both believe that God had a hand in bringing them together, something that both express gratitude for.
Ruth Marie's influence on Marc has included eating a more healthy diet.
Prone to eating junk food, from hamburgers at White Castle and even greasy hot dogs from convenience stores, Marc has adopted a plant-based, mostly vegetarian diet, with the exception of eating fish about once a week.
She's also helped him train better.
"Ruth Marie is not my coach but kind of my guide. She follows (running coach) Jack Daniels and it's about recovery (from hard workouts)," says Marc. "I know at this age that if I have an injury, it's going to be a lot harder to come back. I've watched other people struggle."
Athletics in the blood
Marc's father, Ezra "Ez" Embler, was a very accomplished athlete in the Upstate.
Growing up in a cotton mill family, he was captain of the Shrine Bowl all-star football team and was recruited by famed Clemson coach Frank Howard.
But Ezra was drafted in World War II, serving in Germany for two years. When he returned, he had planned to go to Clemson but was offered a job as an athletic director for Abney Mills, which he took.
It wasn't much money, but it was a career and he didn't have to work in the mill. He ended up retiring from the mill as the personnel director.
Marc and his brothers were active in sports. His older brother, Mical, set the bar high, playing football, basketball, baseball and running track and was "a star in all of them." During his senior year, he was voted as Greenville County Athlete of the Year.
Mical got a scholarship to run at Baptist College and Marc often came down to watch the meets, which he enjoyed and later found out, in ninth grade, that he was good at running distances.
"I liked basketball more than anything, but God gave me the talent to run better than I could play basketball," says Marc. "And I had an opportunity to earn a scholarship and go to school for free, so I did it. The reason I chose Baptist College is because at the time the school was a track powerhouse. We competed on a national level with everybody."
Marc ran for Baptist College from 1975 to 1979, excelling in events including the steeplechase. But the track team's distance coach, Jim Settle, told him his best running days would come after college.
"When he would tell me that, it made me mad, but he was right. I think my body had not been developed enough to sustain the training," says Embler.
His fastest running ended up coming between 1980 and 1984, when he took a job at Athletic Attic and helped coach the Baptist College cross country and track teams for $1,000 a season. He was running 10Ks in the 29- to 30-minute range.
"I just got in that groove. My times just started dropping," says Embler.
For the 1981 Bridge Run, winning was not even on his mind.
"I trained really hard that week. On Thursday (before the race), I did a two-mile workout on the (Baptist College). I ran a hard 800, like in 2:07, and a 9:02 for the two-mile," says Embler, who won the race in 30:54.
The following year, he was keying again on the Bridge Run. At the starting line, he didn't see anybody whom he thought could beat him. A guy with a military-style haircut, Mark Donahue of Fairfax, Va., would take off and put 45 seconds on Embler, who finished second.
Cedric Jaggers, the author of "Charleston's Cooper River Bridge Run: A Complete History in Words and Pictures," says that Embler would "stand tall in the pantheon of South Carolina runners" even if he hasn't won another race since the 1981 event.
Jaggers says Embler may forever hold the title of being the only local to win the Bridge Run.
"Nobody remembers that he finished second overall in '82," says Jaggers. "I remember when Marc ran his (personal record) at the Hilton Head Hyatt 10K - would you believe it was 29:38? Kathy and I ran that race and we were astonished at his great performance."
Jaggers and others recognize that Embler holds a special love of running that few elite runners, who aren't in tip-top shape and running well, hold dear. He runs whether he's in peak shape or not.
"I asked him when I interviewed him for my book if he planned to continue running the Bridge Run and he told me he that he would always run it as long as he was physically able."

In a perfect world, Gov. Corbett would not be unalterably opposed to a severance tax on natural gas extracted by the booming Marcellus Shale industry. Pennsylvania would be able to join every other major gas-producing state and collect a modest charge on the value of gas produced. The extra money would help offset the stern budget cuts that he and the Republican-led legislature inflicted on public schools, higher education, and the safety net for the needy.
But Corbett is adamantly opposed to a severance tax on shale gas. He has not been persuaded by polls showing strong majorities of Pennsylvanians support it - 69 percent in a June survey by Quinnipiac University. Nor has he been persuaded by his political mentor, former Gov. Tom Ridge, now a gas-industry adviser, who suggested that most major drillers in the state can live with a reasonable severance tax.

Recruitment Application
Hi all,
A newbie to salesforce. Set up the recruitment application. Working lovely. But how do I use it? By that I meant, how could I set up so that applications can directly fill the details in or how could I link where they fill the details in so that the details they fill in show up in the recruitment application?
Hope it makes sense?
I mean otherwise what's the point of having that sample recuritment application if I have to manually reenter the details?
I believe the recruitment application repurposes the Lead object to be used for recruits – if I'm right then what you're looking for would be web to lead.

Walker administration says it erred in retroactive raise for Capitol chief
Madison — In a reversal, Gov. Scott Walker's administration is acknowledging it acted improperly in retroactively raising the pay of the Capitol Police chief by 11.7% and will take back $720 from him.
The disclosure came in an email that Gregory Murray, the chief counsel for the Department of Administration, sent Wednesday to an attorney for the Legislature. The Journal Sentinel, which first reported on the retroactive raise, obtained a copy of the email Thursday.
The acknowledgment of a mistake comes after the Walker administration insisted it followed state rules in giving the retroactive raise to Chief Dave Erwin as part of a transfer to a phantom job and then back to his current post. State policy says pay raises to state officials can be retroactive only in very limited circumstances, such as to correct errors.
State Rep. Jon Richards (D-Milwaukee) said he was pleased the administration acknowledged it made a mistake. But he said the reversal shows the need to have legislative auditors review the entire arrangement, including the propriety of transferring state workers between jobs on paper to raise their pay.
"The fact they overlooked an important statute makes me even more concerned people weren't following the rules when they gave him an enormous pay raise," Richards said.
Erwin early this year was transferred to a fake job and then back to his position as police chief as a means to raise his pay by $11,680 a year, with the first $720 of that coming retroactively. The pay hike came just months before Erwin began overseeing a crackdown on protests against Walker in the Capitol rotunda.
Two weeks ago, Richards noted a rule in the state compensation plan written by the Walker administration states that most pay raises cannot be retroactive.
At the time, administration spokeswoman Stephanie Marquis said the retroactive raise was allowable because the department had made a mistake in incorrectly posting the maximum salary for Erwin's job before hiring him in July 2012 at a maximum annual salary of $99,387 rather than the $111,067 made by his predecessor, Charles Tubbs.
Erwin was promised the higher salary at the end of his six-month mark, but staff neglected to give it to him, according to Marquis. The retroactive raise was made to keep him from losing any of that pay, according to Marquis.
But in his email, Murray acknowledged the retroactive raise was a mistake.
"Upon reviewing this issue, we have determined that our staff overlooked" the administrative code that covers retroactive raises, Murray wrote. "The department intends to take the steps necessary to recoup the retroactive payments."
On Feb. 5, Erwin was informed he had received back-dated transfers, one on Dec. 30 and one on Jan. 13, that raised his pay to $111,067. The transfer made him a manager in a division of the Department of Administration that oversees purchasing and other administrative functions, but Erwin never actually performed duties for that division.
Similar practices have happened in the past. For example, some political appointees of Democratic Gov. Jim Doyle were transferred into civil service positions for a day or two, guaranteeing they would have a job even if they lost their political appointments.
Marquis did not immediately respond to questions from the Journal Sentinel about when Erwin would have to give back the retroactive pay increase.
In addition to Erwin, Deputy Police Chief Dan Blackdeer was transferred to a ghost job to skirt civil service salary limits. His pay jumped by 14.6%, to $96,048, in June, but none of his increase was retroactive.
The raises are far above what typical state employees are getting. Rank-and-file state workers received a 1% general pay raise in July, the first general increase in four years for most employees.

AirWatch® was founded in 2003 and achieved early success in managing wireless endpoints and rugged devices. In 2006, as smart devices entered the enterprise and employees required access to corporate information, the AirWatch leadership team strategically pivoted the company's focus to manage any device in an organization's mobile fleet. The team believed that the consumerization of IT would completely revolutionize the way companies do business – and they were right.
Today, AirWatch is the leading enterprise mobility management provider. With more than a decade in business, AirWatch continues to develop solutions that empower companies to focus on innovative uses of mobile technology rather than dealing with the complexities of managing mobility.

The Casual Vacancy
By J.K. Rowling
Little, Brown. 503 pp. $35
Reviewed by Kevin Grauke
When, in the history of publishing, has the anticipation for an author's eighth book been so different from the anticipation for her seventh? Five years ago, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, J.K. Rowling tied a bow on her seven-volume epic chronicle of a teenage wizard's adventures. Both the young and the young at heart lamented the end of one of the most popular book series in history.
Having become one of the richest women in the world, Rowling could have sailed off into the sunset on a gold-plated Nimbus 2000, never to write another word, but instead she announced that next she would be publishing a novel decidedly unfit for the millions of schoolchildren who composed the vast majority of her readership - in other words, a novel for adults only. What sort of novel would it be, everyone wondered, and would it be any good?

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
A genetic variant of E. coli may represent the causal bridge that connects intestinal inflammation with the development of bowel cancer, researchers claim. It's already known that chronic gut inflammation disturbs the balance of microbes that naturally inhabit the digestive tract, and that patients with inflammatory gut disorders are more likely to develop bowel cancer. Studies in mice and humans now indicate that colorectal cancer is more likely to develop when this inflammation-related imbalance in microbiota is associated with the emergence of populations of an E. coli strain carrying a gene set known as the pks island.
The findings are reported in Science, by an international team led by investigators at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Christian Jobin, Ph.D., and colleagues looked at the changes in gut microbe populations in a colitis-prone mouse model that lacks the gene for IL10, an interleukin that suppresses the inflammatory response. They found that intestinal inflammation in these animals led to a disturbance of the intestinal ecosystem and far lower diversity of bacterial inhabitants, but relatively much larger populations of E. coli. When they then infected the IL10-knockout mice that had been raised under sterile conditions with either an E. coli variant known as NC101, or with another common gut bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, both groups developed severe gut inflammation, but 80% of the E. coli-infected animals also went on to develop tumors.
In contrast, tumor development didn't occur in the Enterococcus faecalis-infected mice. "This would argue pretty strongly that there's something in the E. coli that's causing the mice to develop cancer," comments co-author Anthony Fodor, Ph.D., an associate professor of bioinformatics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
To try and find out what it was in the E. coli that was triggering cancer development, the authors looked more closely at the genetic makeup of the bacteria, and in particular the pks island gene set carried by some strains of E. coli that has been implicated in causing DNA damage. Critically, when they infected the experimental mice with an NC101 E. coli strain that lacked the pks island, the animals still developed inflammation, but exhibited a markedly lower rate of tumor formation. And when they compared bacteria colonizing healthy people, those with irritable bowel syndrome, and patients with colorectal cancer, they found pks-carrying E. coli in two thirds of colorectal cancer patients, but a much lower proportion of those with IBS (40%), and in even fewer healthy controls (20%).
"These are exciting results because they suggest there may be a direct link between changes in the gut microbiome and the progression from inflammation to cancer," Dr. Fodor concludes. "If we can understand the pathways by which pathogens damage host cells within the context of host inflammation, we may be able to formulate a personalized approach to cancer prevention in which particular pathogenic taxa or genes are targeted in vulnerable human subpopulations."
Drs. Fodor, Jobin, et al report their findings in a paper titled "Intestinal Inflammation Targets Cancer-Inducing Activity of the Microbiota."

What is in this article?:
- New, resistant pigweed hybrid confirmed in Mississippi
- Predictions
- Management
- New glyphosate-resistant pigweed hybrid found in Mississippi.
- From pastures to row crops.
- How did it happen? What are the implications?
A SPINY AMARANTH/Palmer hybrid discovered in a Mississippi cotton field. Notice the flower head with male flowers between zero and 3 inches and fuzzier female flowers between 3 and 5 inches.
At this point, the confirmation of a new glyphosate-resistant weed is unlikely to raise eyebrows. However, nonchalance is hardly the suitable reaction when considering the implications of what USDA-ARS researchers have uncovered in a Mississippi cotton field in Lafayette County.
It turns out a weed that is commonly found in pastures, spiny amaranth, has made the leap into a row crop environment and is finding the new surroundings comfortable. It has done this through hybridization with the ubiquitous resistant Palmer pigweed found throughout the South.
In mid-March, Stoneville, Miss.-based researchers Bill Molin and V.K. Nandula spoke with Delta Farm Press about the field circumstances, the science behind the hybridization, and management options. Among their comments:
On the hybridization…
Nandula: "Everyone is likely familiar with (herbicide-resistant) Palmer amaranth and the havoc it has caused across the Southeast. The mechanism of resistance — the way by which the weed can withstand a herbicide application — is through 'gene amplification', i.e., multiple copies of the target enzyme of glyphosate, 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, are functional. Thus, glyphosate phytotoxicity is diluted, so to speak.
"In this case, we're talking about a second weed, also an amaranth, commonly called 'spiny amaranth.' It's actually not a very widespread weed, typically limited to pastures and other non-row crop areas.
"Back in 2011, (Mississippi State University weed researcher) Jason Bond brought us some plants that were suspected of being resistant and had traits like spiny amaranth. They came from a cotton field in Lafayette County. These plants were taken to seed. Plants generated from this seed turned out to be resistant to glyphosate at a 1X rate.
"There are several things to keep in mind. Palmer amaranth is a dioecious plant — that means male and female flowers appear on different plants. Spiny amaranth, meanwhile, is monoecious — the male and female flowers are not only on the same plant but also on the same flower stalk.
"Both spiny and Palmer amaranths produce extensive amounts of pollen and so it is likely that if these species were growing close to each other there may be some cross pollination. We have evidence that indicates it was a resistant Palmer female that was pollinated from a spiny plant. That's probably how the spiny amaranth plants got the (herbicide) resistant gene.
"When glyphosate resistance is transferred to a hybrid, glyphosate now becomes the agent that selects for resistant plants. The seed we got from the 1X rate-surviving plants were replanted and sprayed again. We wanted to make sure the resistance gene had been passed on to another generation, which turned out to be the case. That would point to a real problem.
"Amaranthus weed species — and there are four or five others, like waterhemp — are all known to cross with each other. The most prevalent crosser is Palmer amaranth.
"When you have so many crosses, so many hybrids, it could lead to a buildup of resistance and a bad management problem."
On moving from pasture to cotton field…
Molin: "Spiny is normally a relatively short pasture weed. Now, the hybrid that we're studying is being found in row crops. So, the hybrid now has the ability to enter into new environments.
"It also has Palmer genes that have changed its look. It's actually grows taller, like Palmer, so it'll be more competitive on top of the resistance. It's just one more weed that producers must be aware of. It could mean greater scouting, greater expense, more problems in keeping it out of row-crop fields."

Could be down to kernel bugs; I wouldn't like to rule out broken hardware
either, whether down to age or (mis)design. (You've probably noticed
memtest86 on that Ubuntu CD...)

50% and improving, hopefully. (It might be interesting to know what machines
these are, and what hardware has been installed in them.)

http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentat...al-console.txt along with a

with debugging that kind of problem.

I currently see a 720x400 console (I know why, though - I'm using vesafb when
I should be using radeonfb, but there was a bug with display mode setup which
caused monitor standby mode and affected R3xx- and R4xx-based cards).
X uses the full available resolution; no problems there.

I wouldn't; but then we don't have cents here. ;-)

Have you looked at Dell's website recently?
That said, I wouldn't buy one of their desktop boxes. They say "open source",
then they go and put nVidia graphics hardware in them and don't give you any
other option... and the "nv" driver isn't an option for me... (I know, remove
that card and put in a Radeon X300 or something similar. But that's missing
the point...)

Tomorrow the company, Red Balloon Security, will present proof that its security software, the "symbiote," can protect a standard IP office phone from malicious attacks.
And this IP phone demo is just the beginning. Eventually, the symbiote could protect virtually any connected device you can think of. The developer, Ang Cui, a Columbia PhD student in computer science, has been working for the last five years on developing offensive attacks and defensive solutions for vulnerabilities in embedded devices.
"Really [IP phones] are just computers too, and they're running these super secret proprietary operating systems that very few people have actually seen, and very few people have actually tested the security of," Cui said in a recent interview. "And you know, the work that we've been doing in the lab is to show that those things are just as insecure as the general purpose computers you have, and once you exploit those things there are definitely advantages to that over just getting root access to a server somewhere, which is what everybody in security largely has been focused on for the last forever.'"
The symbiote is a tiny piece of code, about 200 bytes, that is injected into an IP phone's kernel without impacting computing speed or device functionality. And the symbiote is operating-system agnostic, meaning it can run on and monitor any device without being tailored to a specific OS. It runs in the background, and randomly samples executed code at regular intervals to ensure that nothing unusual is going on. Without knowing detailed specifics about an OS, the symbiote can still establish a baseline for normal behavior in a device using functions that are shared among different types of firmware and can reasonably be expected to be present.
Symbiote Defense Demo: IP Phone from Red Balloon Security on Vimeo.
The next step for Red Balloon Security is finding a large-scale network environment in which to run a pilot of the symbiote. If things go well, this could present a new generation of protection for smartphones, tablets, and anything that we connect or plug into them.

With the Desert Island finale looming, I need to stop putting off the most difficult decision of this entire endeavor...
Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, "No More Shall We Part" (2001)
Considering my reverence for everything Nick Cave has ever graced with his impeccable creative touch, singling out one representative album is nigh-impossible. I regretfully passed over his nasty, confrontational Birthday Party days for a Bad Seeds album -- but where to go from there?
The raucous debut, "From Her to Eternity" (1984), with its death-dirge title track? The accomplished and mature songwriting of "Tender Prey" (1988)? My sentimental favorite (and personal introduction to Cave), "Let Love In" (1994), which has nary a naff track? The bloodthirsty "Murder Ballads" (1996), which my colleague Troy Reimink already has praised so eloquently? The sublimely sorrowful piano balladry of post-P.J. Harvey breakup album, "The Boatman's Call" (1997)? Vehement and ambitious double album "Abattoir Blues/The Lyre of Orpheus" (2004)?
I finally settled on "No More Shall We Part," due to Cave's elegant, poetic storytelling, the blossoming of violinist Warren Ellis within the Bad Seeds aesthetic and Kate and Anna McGarrigle's lush, earthy backing vocals. It's one of Cave's somewhat overlooked efforts, but it's a declaration of his relevance, the cementing of his status as one of the post-punk generation's most accomplished songwriters.
The first eight tracks are impeccable. There exists multiple levels of interpretation just in Cave's tone -- his words are delivered with the utmost sincerity, but there's a subtly sardonic undercurrent to them, a dash of black humor tempering an earnest she-left-me track such as "And No More Shall We Part."
The snark is turned up a notch for "God is in the House," an acrid indictment of isolated suburbanism: "Homos roaming the streets in packs/Queer bashers with tire jacks/lesbian counter-attacks/That stuff is for the big cities," Cave sneers over a quaint piano ballad. The sturm-und-drang of desperate prayer is the album's recurring lyrical motif: the remorseful finale of "Hallelujah," the bellowed "Oh my Lord"s of "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow."
The signature track is actually titled "Oh my Lord," where Cave's first-person narrator sees a sword of Damocles above his wife, senses the "Spear of Destiny sticking right through me," screams about having lost the plot, then becomes a cautionary tale: "Be mindful of the prayers you send/Pray hard, but pray with care," Cave warns. The track wavers from bitter to hysterical, the chorus pleading, "Oh Lord, how have I offended thee?"
With a typically rock-solid foundation provided by longtime Bad Seeds Mick Harvey and Blixa Bargeld, Cave discovers new shades of melancholy on "No More Shall We Part," from the sweet to the sour, from the frightening to the enlightening. He croons like a seducer and bellows like a bloviating preacher -- his violent drama boasts an Old Testament vibe filtered through modern-day psychosis. Yet the arrangements and instrumentation are elegant, refined, even gorgeous, invoking a wide palette of emotions: grief, exultation, love, hate, joy, rage.
In other words, just another day with piano and pen for Cave.
See Cave do his brand of shuck 'n' jive in the video for "Fifteen Feet of Pure White Snow":

PASCAGOULA, Mississippi — The midway is coming back to Jackson County.
The 2011 Jackson County Fair returns Sunday and will run through Oct. 23 at the Jackson County Fairgrounds off Shortcut Road.
"This is truly Jackson County's largest agricultural and entertainment event of the year," according to Melton Harris Jr., board of supervisors president.
"Our fair brings people from across the entire coast together for one week of entertainment, food and October traditions," he said. "It's the best week of the year."
Jackson County Fair Board President Alan Smith said it's the "largest free-admission fair along the coast."
The fair's concession area has 10 individual food booths and plenty of room for dining under a covered pavilion, located at the northwest corner of the fairgrounds.
"Since its construction, the pavilion has truly become the center of the fair," Smith said. "Rain or shine, fairgoers know the food booths are open with a comfortable place to eat and visit."
This year's food booths will be hosted by Caswell Springs United Methodist Church, Faith in the Word Ministries, Hope House, Liberty Assembly of God Church, Parkway Baptist Church, Safe Harbor United Methodist Church, St. Peter's Catholic Church, Solomon Temple Zion Church, Pascagoula Police Benefit Fund and Asbury Chapel AME Zion Church.
Ken Flanagan, county public information officer, said the county's Maintenance Department has converted the outdoor arena into a livestock barn with truckloads of dirt and dozens of animal stalls.
The barn area is home to 4-H competitions and livestock displays, which also is a treat for schoolchildren.
"We have a great tradition during the fair, starting the first Monday of the fair, we'll have school buses in and out of the fairgrounds three or four times a day, every day of the fair," Flanagan said.
"It's a great field trip for the small elementary schools. They'll come for an hour or two and tour the livestock barn," he said. "It's a real highlight seeing first- and second-graders come to the fair and see the cows, chickens, goats and the llamas."
There will be more than 500 competition categories for residents to choose from, ranging from canned fruit to camera photography.
Other highlights will include Family Night on Oct. 18; Old Settlers Day in the National Guard Armory on Oct. 20; and Midnight Madness, Oct. 21.
Flanagan said a Fair Book with all the rules is available online. "This is the best way to get a Fair Book," he said.
There is still time for commercial vendors to register for space, both inside and outside the B.E. "Mac" McGinty Civic Center. To rent a space, call the fairground's office at 228-762-6043.
Fair deadlines include:
- All commercial booths must be set up by 6 p.m. on Sunday.
- Livestock must be registered by 9 p.m. Monday for competition.
- All arts and crafts need to be entered by 9 p.m. Monday for competition.
- All barn exhibits must be picked up by 3 p.m. Oct. 23
- All arts and crafts must be picked up by 6 p.m. Oct 24
- Free parking will be available in the north parking lot along Shortcut Road and along Vega Street south of the fairgrounds.
