The University of Maryland (UM) houses a broad range of pre-clinical and clinical science resources and core laboratories that support translational research. Although core facilities are recognized as a cost-effective mechanism to support cutting edge research, as like many other institutions, they tend to be siloed within a specific academic center, program, department or school with uneven access (and many times lack of knowledge by faculty of their existence). Challenges to use of these facilities have included fragmented administration, disparate locations, poor marketing, unclear access, and cost. Based on the great need for user-friendly high-quality accessible state-of-the-art core services that are cost-effective, a centralized mechanism across all ICTS-participating institutions for organizing, coordinating and delivering core services for clinical and translational research would be highly beneficial. The multidisciplinary and collaborative research environment at UM will be considerably enhanced by centrally organizing and managing these resources, while providing the necessary tools to educate clinical and translational investigators about the technologies, their power, and their applications.
With this goal in mind, we have developed the following Specific Aims for the Translational Technologies Network Resource.
Specific Aim 1
To establish the UM ICTS Translational Technologies Network Resource, a new framework for a centralized institution-wide core service resource to facilitate and accelerate high impact clinical and translational research.
- Reorganize existing technology and resource centers into interactive Networks of similarly themed Cores; collectively, these Networks will comprise the UM ICTS Translational Technologies Network (TTN) Resource.
- Develop a centralized administration for the TTN Resource to provide effective support for the Core and Network resources, develop a fair and consistent user fee structure, and formulate policies that uniformly address prioritization, management, and operation of each of the Core facilities.
- Provide a new physical infrastructure to co-locate many interactive core and resource facilities.
- Provide a new integrated web based "one stop shopping" portal for UM ICTS investigators to request and receive data from TTN core facilties.
Specific Aim 2
Create synergies between the TTN Resource and other UM ICTS Programs and Resources to capitalize on existing ICTS strengths and strengthen the overall mission of the ICTS.
The TTN Resource administration will interface with other ICTS Programs and Resources to facilitate their missions including clinical and translational research (Participant and Clinical Interactions Resource), support of pilot grants (Pilot and Collaborative Translational and Clinical Studies Program), integration of novel translational methodologies (Novel Methodologies in Translational Research Program), support education (Education, Training and Career Development Program), and community outreach (Community Engagement and Research Resource. The Clinical and Translational Research Informatics Resource and Design, Biostatistics and Quantitative Research Resource will provide informatics and biostatistics support for efficient operation and integration of the TTN Resource and to assist investigators by providing advanced analysis in a biological context.
Specific Aim 3
Provide education and technical consulting to accelerate the pace of discovery in basic and translational research, clinical trials, practice and community based interventions.
- Conduct educational programs and open forums for investigators to disseminate information about how the capabilities of the TTN Resource can enhance their clinical and translational research and create new transdisciplinary synergies to accelerate the pace of discovery.
- Establish a TTN Resource Advocacy Committee, comprising investigators from each of the representative ICTS-participating institutions, to help integrate the Core Networks across the ICTS, promote multidisciplinary collaborative research efforts, and guide the TTN Resource in new avenues of expansion.
- Establish a consult service for ICTS investigators who wish to learn about and use a TTN Resource Core service.
- Organize the annual Translational Technologies and Resources Symposium, and assist in the organization of translational technologies bidirectional community education and outreach.

This is quite a read: Dr. Jack Kruse, Neurosurgeon, is a Big Fucking Liar | Free The Animal
So Kruse used to be a troll on football forums.
And Factor X is apparently an asteroid event.
So nice to have the "Free The Pitchfork People" drivel added to this thread.
JK posted that pic to his facebook as a JOKE. Those of us who were members at the time saw it. he's never represented it as more than that.
Live your own truth. Wallowing in paleosphere muck is strictly optional!
Factor X has been speculated to be the KT event for a long time. Who cares?
This thread is about doing the leptin reset with a primal diet (which is all "Jack Kruse style" implied from the beginning). It is not about Jack Kruse. That is all.

Dr. told me to start with a 3-5 day fast with a lemon/lime maple syrup and water drink. 16 tablespoons maple syrup 6 lemon/limes 128 oz water. Supposed to drink it every 15 minutes till its gone presumably. After that she said something about a modified Leptin Reset type thing. Hopefully I can get my weight down for good this time and actually gain some health and wellbeing.
The comments she had were eat more good fats to raise HDL. She has me taking Glysen and testanex. I can't remember what the glysen is for but the testanex is for stopping aromatase conversion of testosterone into estrogen. She said I need to get natural calm for magnesium, and to dirnk more water, use flower of the ocean salt and unrefined salt because of dehydration and emergen-c.
She has a note next to RDW...whatever that is that says sign of anemia possibly. Also comments next to monocytes and eosinophils that say possible sign of infection.
Primary Hypothyroid pathway 1 for both T4 and TSH numbers and Pathway 3 Underconversion next to T3. She said to take Vitamin D Omega 3 and Glutathione for the TPO Antibodies I think
I plan on cold thermogenesis at some point, but haven't decided the best way to get water temp down in my bathtub....reuseably. I was contemplating using the ice packs out of an ice vest...but not sure if thats enough ice.
I was thinking of buying this vest which comes with 3 ice packs + a replacement set for 6 sets of ice....probably isn't enough ice. I need a way to cool down the bath that doesn't involve continuously buying 40 pounds of ice every day though....

Anyone have any suggestion for a nagging ear ache? My left inner ear has been throbbing for 2 weeks and is accomopanied by a headache on that side. I went to a Dr a week ago and she wasn't able to see that it looked infected. She prescribed an antibiotic/steroid eardrop which doesn't seem to be helping I tried candling before I went to the Dr. I don't want to take oral antibiotics if I don't need them. Not sure what to do...
vitamin C megadosing for any infection, ever, and garlic/mullein oil for ear infections specifically, and/or breastmilk in the ear if you have access to it.

CHICAGO – Diners who think they are eating red snapper may actually be munching on gold-banded jobfish.
Those who order Alaskan cod may really be tucking into a threadfin slickhead. And fans of yellowtail could just be getting a fish tale.
These are some of the findings of a fish fraud investigation released last week by the ocean conservancy group Oceana.
After its troubling seafood fraud investigations in cities on the East and West Coasts over the last two years, the group expanded its testing to other cities.
The group does not list the names of the restaurants or stores where it bought the fish because "we didn't know where, along the supply chain, the mislabeling first occurred," said Beth Lowell, Oceana's seafood fraud campaign director. "So we didn't want to call out businesses that may not have known their fish was mislabeled."
Improperly labeled fish can cost consumers financially, but these substitutions also can have health consequences. In many cities, purveyors were found to be marketing white tuna that was actually escolar, which is cheaper and can cause severe digestive problems.
Among the places where testers bought the samples, sushi bars fared the worst, with 14 out of 22, or 64 percent, of the samples coming back as erroneously labeled. In contrast, 20 percent of fish sold at other types of restaurants and 24 percent of the seafood sold at grocery stores was mislabeled. Oceana said that it focused mainly on large grocery chains.
Lowell says consumers can minimize their risk by patronizing businesses that make an effort to source sustainable fish, are willing to answer lots of questions about the product, and can show you the whole fish even if you are only going to buy a fillet.
Dirk Fucik, owner of Dirk's Fish & Gourmet Shop in Chicago's Lincoln Park section, says he does all that but is not surprised that others don't.
"It's unfortunate, but this has been going on in the seafood business for a long time," Fucik said. "The U.S. imports about 25 million pounds of a Vietnamese catfish called basa [or pangasius] every year. When's the last time you saw that on a menu?"
Americans may be particularly vulnerable to fish fraud because of their preference for white-fleshed fish with little taste variation.
"Most other countries show a preference for oilier, more flavorful fish, but Americans like their fish on the milder side," said Christopher Martinez, a manager at Dirk's. "And with a lot of those mild varieties, if you remove the fillet from the fish and take off the skin, you can call it just about anything."
Gavin Gibbons, spokesman for the National Fisheries Institute, a trade group, says he's always glad to see "people shining a light on fish fraud."
But, he said, reports such as Oceana's "can negatively impact the whole community, and disproportionately those who are not engaging" in fraud.
It would be more helpful to go deeper, he said, and find where the fraud originates: at the dock, the distributor, the retailer or some point in between. "We feel like these investigations leave the loop unclosed," he said.
A 2011 investigative series by the Boston Globe reported that at least some of the fraud started at the distribution level. It said suppliers had been labeling escolar, for example, interchangeably with white/albacore tuna. The Globe noted that the less expensive escolar is not even in the tuna family.
Until better enforcement or traceability becomes a reality, Lowell advises consumers to seek out retailers that welcome detailed questions about their fish. Gibbons says consumers should ask retailers whether they buy from distributors who are members of the Better Seafood Bureau, a voluntary group that pledges to abide by ethical guidelines and accept audits if they receive a certain number of unresolved complaints.
Finally, all warn that if you find certain seafood items at a price that sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

The NHL trade deadline is under four weeks away and the San Jose Sharks offense has failed to score three goals without a shootout in 16 of the last 17 games. Only a drop to the bottom third of the Western Conference would change their status as buyers before the deadline passes.
Last season, the Sharks stood pat and were quickly ushered out of the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs. This team has better goaltending but such scoring woes that they need to pull off a Jeff Carter-like move that put the Los Angeles Kings—with the same blueprint—over the top.
But should the Sharks further mortgage their future for one more push?
If it does not work, there will be plenty of time to get prospects and picks this summer. Not only is there no reason for the Sharks to keep the core together, there is no room on the payroll for another push.
With the drop to a $64.3 million salary cap next season, Cap Geek lists the Sharks as having just 13 players (seven forwards, five defensemen and a goalie) and under $10.6 million in cap room.
San Jose's only four true scoring forwards are all under contract, as is second-line talent Martin Havlat. After that only Adam Burish and Tommy Wingels are signed into next season.
The blue line would have the top two pairs plus the top third-pair defenseman under contract. Antti Niemi would be in net. That is a decent enough core, but they take up too much of the team's payroll.
For the Sharks to re-sign every restricted free agent for a sum total of about the same money as this season is not far-fetched given many teams will have to cut roster costs. That would add Andrew Desjardins, James Sheppard, T.J. Galiardi, Jason Demers, Matt Irwin and either Alex Stalock or Harri Sateri for almost $5.7 million.
They could also promote John McCarthy, a worthwhile reserve forward, whose contract becomes one-way next season at $612,500. That would leave them strong on the blue line and at the starting goalie position, but needing one second-, third- and fourth-line forwards.
That is a lot to get for about $4.25 million in cap space. A look at the potential line, pair and goalie combinations that's left for San Jose shows why they would be lucky to make the playoffs at all, and thus might as well go all-in this season.

I am considering getting a .357 snub for a BUG, I normally have a 9mm, and i want to revolver for it's reliability and i was hoping on input on some good snubs.

The S&W pre lock 2.5" 66, if you must have a 357. Superb snubby. Little large for a BUG though, IMO.
Personally I prefer the Colt Cobra, and Detective Special as BUG revolvers. TJ
December 14, 2010, 03:16 PM
I love my Ruger sp101, rugged and its weight helps tame the recoil. I wear mine IWB, you would probably want something lighter if pocket carry is your thing.
harmon rabb
December 14, 2010, 03:19 PM
Mooseman, he said he wants the snub as a BUG. I don't really see a SP101 in that role, given it's relatively size and weight compared to the j-frames and the LCR.
So, I'll say he should get a LCR in .357.
December 14, 2010, 03:22 PM
S&W 360, S&W 340 or Ruger LCR in .357. All light weight guns in .357 Mag, and all will slap your hand pretty good with the .357's. You could always load them with .38's though if you find that they have excessive recoil.
December 14, 2010, 03:32 PM
I was looking at the 360. and i know that the .357 will slap my hand but i would rather have a .357 and load it with .38 and have the option of magnum load if need be.
December 14, 2010, 03:55 PM
Although I like the 357 in any gun, I think for a BUG a good 38 is plenty. Think about the role the gun is playing, think about the possibility you will have to shoot it with the weak hand; with the 357 you may only get off one shot but with the 38 you will be more in control with one hand weak side shooting. Also just like the 9mm the 38 HP +P ammo that is available is excellent for example Speer GDHP 135gr +P short barrel IMO is the best round for SD in a snubbie 38. I will be carrying my SP101 as of Friday as a primary with full power 357 loads but I can shoot it with two hands to keep more control, as a BUG it will most likely be shot one handed. I guess what I'm getting at is a light 5 shot revolver that can pack a pretty good wallop is a great BUG just be sure it's the right BUG. The Ruger LCR in 357 or 38 is tough to beat. I also recently got rid of a S&W442 which was awesome I should have kept it.
December 14, 2010, 04:03 PM
LCR in 357. It will shoot 38 for target.
December 14, 2010, 04:14 PM
For .357mag in a small frame snubbie I'd go with an SP101 ... lots of other options in .38, but the extra weight of the overbuilt Ruger will be nicer with full house .357 loads.
If you don't mind a larger frame gun than a S&W 686 or a Dan Wesson (I happen to pack a DW 14-2 snubbie) would be good choices.
Seven For Sure
December 14, 2010, 04:31 PM
S&W J frame, K frame or L frame. 5, 6 or 7 shots in the same order. That smaller Ruger seems decent but for weight to size ratio and the better trigger the S&W's are hard to beat.
December 14, 2010, 04:34 PM
S&W J frame, K frame or L frame. 5, 6 or 7 shots in the same order.
Or N Frame and get 8 [insert maniacal laughter here] (that S&W Night Guard 327 is a sexy beast)
December 14, 2010, 05:27 PM
I do agree on a SP101 as a good (tho heavy) BUG. The wife has one and we both like it a lot for CC. (She shoots .38 + P's in it, which she didn't like in an airweight). I myself am saving up for a .357 SP101 w/3 1/16 barrel to use as a BUG. I thought about a Bond Arms .38 derringer but decided on the SP101. Nearly the same price. The IWB holster I got her for her 2 1/4" barrel .357 is for a 3 1/16 model and we see no difference in ease of carry with the longer length.
I have shot a few different airweights and had even .38 spc. sting a little. Each size weapon is a trade-off. Is there a rental range close where you can try different models?
December 14, 2010, 05:36 PM
I like the LCR in .357. Same size as the J frames and LCR in .38, but has a stainless steel frame. At a little over 17 oz. it's just a tad heavier than a 642. The Hogue Tamer grip really helps with recoil. It's going to be my next firearm purchase.
December 14, 2010, 05:38 PM
BUG is a relative term. I carry multiple SP101 snubbies frequently, and almost never need something as small as a J-frame, though I have a couple of those, too. I don't EVER want to fire a magnum from a alloy-framed J-snub! From an SP101, magnums are no problem.

I am really not that big of a guy so a BUG period is a stretch in a large caliber for me. BUT, One of my primary carry weapons is a 2.5" 686+ pre-lock. Pretty large for the barrel size but accurate, reliable, and sturdy. No issue's in 10 years and thousands of rounds. Also I live in the PNW so stainless steel is a big plus for me. I would say find a nice classic #19 ir #66. They are still to be had for around $400 or so. Anything .357 by ruger will last you a lifetime as well.

Thanks for all the input guys, I have used S&Ws and do agree they have good triggers, no i don't have a rental range by me, I do live near the Ruger factory though so i can probibly find a good deal on a new Ruger. Thanks for the advice and if there is more to say then I'll gladly listen.
December 14, 2010, 09:08 PM
I prefer the Ruger SP 101.
Enough weight to make .357 magnum recoil seem mild with any full power load.
Not so heavy that it is a chore to carry.
December 14, 2010, 10:43 PM
My 357 snub is a J frame Colt, specifically a Lawman Mark III. Big, heavy, 2" round butt and can shoot the heaviest, hottest 357 round and still be easily controlled and back on target for follow up shot. Smooth a silk!!!!!!!!!!

For a good .357 Magnum BUG I would choose either a S&W M640 or S&W M649. The M60 is also a good revolver but the exposed hammer might be a problem when drawing. Those revolvers are ~23oz which isn't ultra light but not that heavy either. They are easier to shoot well than a 12oz Aitlite. I own a M640 and it's a very good revolver even when shooting full house Magnum ammo. (couldn't find a M649 lol)

649 rocks! Love mine.

The Speed Six is about the best shooting snub-nosed magnum around this side of a Python. The SP-101 is also great. I would NOT want to have to rely on a magnum LCR under an circumstances. The recoil with magnums is going to be horrific, which means you won't practice enough with your carry loads and if the worst case happens you'll be lucky to hold onto the thing in recoil.
December 15, 2010, 01:09 PM
Everything else sounds like great advice.
Also might consider a Chiappa Rhino. I haven't handled one personally but heard great things from people who own them.
Only thing to be slightly concerned about is that it hasn't been as time-tested as the other choices out there, but I haven't heard of anything going bad yet.
December 15, 2010, 02:25 PM
Just looked at the rhino, has te upside down configuration, that's interesting, reminds me of the metaba, I would like to own one, but not as a BUG, something like that seems more of a range or target gun.
December 15, 2010, 03:22 PM
Have you considered the S&W M&P 340? At 13.3 ounces it makes for a reasonable weighted pocket carry.
If you don't plan to pocket carry I would probably lean more towards the S&W K Frames for a little more heft and less felt recoil.
It's worth a look. I typically carry mine with Plus P though. Nice with a Crimson Trace grip.
Lighter yet....340PD.
December 25, 2010, 01:57 PM
for about a month now and love it. It is the "Tame the Beast" model from Jack Weigand Customs. It is a sweet gun.
I sold a Smith 65 years ago and regretted it until I got the 101.
I just took it to the range and shot 125 magnum loads through it with absolutely no problems.
I generally carry Speer Gold Dot Short Barrel .38+p loads in it but don't hesitate to stoke it with magnum loads in the woods or while traveling. I'm happier with the .38s in a home defense situation.
December 25, 2010, 02:22 PM
If you get a chance check out the Smith & Wesson 340PD .357 Mag Airlite on Buds Gun Shop.
Retails for around $800 or so but, is a great ccw firearm.
December 25, 2010, 06:54 PM
For .357's I use a 3 1/16" SP101. As a BUG it is pretty big. If you are looking for a BUG I would recommend a .38 as many have mentioned. My BUG for over 2 years has been a S&W 638 Airweight Bodyguard. Light enough for pocket carry,snag-free, has the option for SA shooting and the trigger is smooth with the single action downright scary. I keep it loaded with +P Gold Dots. I have fired .357's in light guns and they hurt. A lot.With .38's they are manageable but I am not fond of the titanium/scandium models on the market. But that is my personal opinion.
December 25, 2010, 11:01 PM
I have the 360PD. I load it with Fioochi 148 grain JHP that go 1131 fps out of that gun.
I could also use .38 Plus P by Buffalobore, 1040 fps, 158 grain LHP, and the recoil is the limit I can shoot decently out of the gun. I have big hands, and pocket carry grips have to be small. I find at 7 yards I can hit center of mass, but, no head shots consistently.
Anything over that level is unshootable. I did the recoil numbers, using buffalobores
360PD recoil figures:
180 gr. L.F.N. -G.C. (1,400fps/M.E. 783 ft. lbs.)
Recoil Energy of 41 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 60 fps.
158 gr. J.H.C. (1,475fps/M.E. 763 ft. lbs.)
Recoil Energy of 37 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 57 fps.
125 gr. J.H.C. (1,700fps/M.E. 802 ft. lbs.)
Recoil Energy of 35 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 55 fps.
Anytime the recoil velocity goes over 35 fps, your entering a wrenching, horrible recoil
area, that hurts a LOT.
I shot ONE round each of the first two loads, and never again.
The recoil of the 148's is:
148s @ 1131 fps
Recoil Energy of 13 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 29 fps.
The problem with the scandiums is that light weight, while making the gun a REAL pocket carry BUG, also allows it to reach recoil velocity that other guns only dream of.
Also, keep in mind, I calculated these figures with a fully loaded gun. IIRC, my Scandium weighs 12 oz, unloaded.
That effects recoil considerably.
The Fioochi 148s @ 1131 fps
Recoil Energy of 13 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 29 fps.
With the last shot, and a near empty gun, it weighs 12 oz. This changes the recoil to Recoil Energy of 16 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 38 fps.
That last recoil velocity figure shows how much of a difference, nearly 25% in recoil speed, gun weight makes with very light guns.
Stepping up the the Model 60, and you cut the velocity speed in half, and, it can take far heavier loads, and recoil velocity stays at a bearable rate. It also weighs easy twice what the 360PD does.
At BUG ranges, I figure the .357 has some advantages and disadvantages over the .38.
I shoot reasonably well Flat point, 130 grain @ 950 fps .38's. They recoil at:
Recoil Energy of 7 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 21 fps.
That's about the only .38 load I'd like to carry, since any of the HP loads are really marginal on penetration, except Buffalobores 158 grain, 1040 fps heavy 38 load, and, that recoils the exact same as the Fioochi 357 mag ammo.
Hope this helps.
Merry Christmas

BEREA -- A Thanksgiving tradition may have been set on Eastland Road.
Dave and Liz Peterkoski again will offer a free Thanksgiving Day dinner at their Eastland Inn.
"Last year it was a 'pay it forward' type of sentiment. This year it is 'just because.' It was so touching last year," Liz said.
"We still have so many people out of work and desperate for a meal that we will work this as long as we are able."
The free dinner is open to anyone. Donations may be left on the serving table after patrons' Thanksgiving Day dinner.
However, the Peterkoskis are asking for donations of food and money toward those purchases to help defray the overall cost.
As of Tuesday, their "need" list includes 30 turkeys (17-22 pounds); 50 regular boxes of stuffing mix; 20 cans of green beans (10-pound); 20 cans of cut yams (10-pound); cans or packs of turkey gravy; 200 10-inch round plates; 1,000 napkins; 600 forks and knives; 15 cans of evaporated milk (15-ounce), nine dozen large eggs; five bags of sugar (5-pound); 55 frozen pie shells and one large roll of plastic wrap.
Monetary and check donations also will be accepted. The proceeds will be divided between Berea Welfare food pantry and Kim Zingelman, a breast cancer survivor.
Last year Liz made 33 turkeys. This year she is trying for 40 of them.
"We had 14 deliveries to shut-ins last year," she said. "We are hoping to get a lot more deliveries for people who live in Berea."
The dinner is from noon to 6 p.m. The menu includes "Dave's tantalizing" turkey, homemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, yams and pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream.
The restaurant has 12 tables and 78 chairs. Liz said it was "non-stop" last year, with people who just did not want to cook and traveled to the eatery or others who needed a hot, cooked meal.
"Anyone is invited here," she said. "Just because you are fortunate to have a job, a house or three meals every day doesn't mean you can't accept something."
Liz said last year the bartender made 63 pumpkin pies. This year a Brook Park Girl Scout Troop offered to use the same recipe and make 70 pies.
"People have been very generous," said Liz.
Those wishing to donate should check the Eastland Inn's website, eastlandinn.com, for daily updates. Liz expects most of the donations should be completed by next week.
For more details, call Liz at (440) 477-8588 or Alaina, (440) 396-7770.

Michael Farber at SI.com lists the 20 things to love about the NHL…
8. I like the fans in the Madison Square Garden's blue seats. Tough crowd. Smart crowd. They know the Rangers. They know the game. They know each other because so many have had the seats for so long. The small, end-arena press box at the Garden offers a unique view, but the upper press box affords stupendous eavesdropping. This is a hockey society in its grandest sense. I hope owner Jim Dolan isn't pricing out the fans in the blues.
…sorry to break the news to you Mike but Dolan is.

The McMansion of Mirth
Imagine you're a writer attempting a first novel, one you're hoping to sell. You could take the straightforward approach: Simply apply yourself to whatever quixotic, personal project strikes you as worth the struggle, and then hope that an editor sees something in it. The book may or may not succeed, but ultimately you're asking a publisher to spot your talent and make a long-term investment in its promise.
Or you could take a cannier approach: Write a modern update of a famous work of literature. With this strategy you're capitalizing on a trend, meeting the publisher's marketing department halfway, giving reviewers an easy hook to work with and raising the chances that your book's sales will produce an immediate return.
I don't know which route will find a better reception with publishers today, but the viability of the second option is confirmed by the arrival of two debut novels recasting Edith Wharton classics. Claire McMillan's "Gilded Age" (Simon & Schuster, 244 pages, $25) moves Wharton's "The House of Mirth" to the affluent Cleveland suburb of Shaker Heights. "The Innocents" (Voice, 282 pages, $25.99), by Francesca Segal, plays out "The Age of Innocence" in a tightknit Jewish community in northern London.
"The House of Mirth," which follows Lily Bart's misadventures in husband-hunting among New York's Fifth Avenue aristocracy, is a fireworks display of brilliantly sardonic social satire deepened by a story of thwarted love. In "Gilded Age," Ms. McMillan has fun importing some of that tartness to her contemporary setting. In her version, the seductive Ellie Hart has come home to Cleveland after a failed marriage. She's hoping to find a new male provider, but the pickings are slim—one suitor is insufferable about his veganism; another has acquired the perpetual aroma of corn chips from his liberal use of self-tanning lotion.
Much of the novel's humor, however, comes at its own expense. The underlying premise of a snooty old-money elite wielding social tyranny in Cleveland, of all places, verges on a kind of Mad Magazine parody. The blue bloods' so-called "swanky affairs," including museum benefits and leaf-peeping trips in the country, are so quaintly middle-class that the very notion of a glamorous social climber and secret romantic like Ellie being brought low by these people seems like a continuing, if unintentional, joke.
Ms. Segal's "The Innocents" offers a far more convincing parallel to Wharton's stuffy, closed societies. The main character is Adam Newman, who, like Newland Archer in "The Age of Innocence," is engaged to his longtime sweetheart and employed by his future father-in-law. But his sheltered life among conservative London Jews is unsettled by the arrival of his fiancée's rebellious cousin. Like Ms. McMillan's main character, her name too is Ellie. The resemblance doesn't end there. Both Ellies are big-hearted outsiders with compromising pasts, substance-abuse problems and habit of attracting married men. When we first meet both, they are scandalizing their priggish friends with their revealing attire. Like the dumbstruck men in Ms. McMillan's "Gilded Age," Adam is captivated by Ellie's free-spiritedness and falls in love with her.
The novel does a good job of exploring the virtues and limitations of living within a world as insular as Adam's. He is frustrated to discover, for instance, that his codependent fiancée "required constant tending to in her incessant tending to others." Yet he also finds strength and security in binding himself to his community's shared values: "The other side of interference was support."
Ms. Segal is a smart, capable writer, but by simply replicating the story arc of "The Age of Innocence" she has guaranteed her novel's artistic failure. If you have read Wharton's classic, then Ms. Segal's scenes, particularly at the climactic ending, are void of suspense. And if you haven't read "The Age of Innocence"—for heaven's sake, go do so, and forget about this one.
That Edith Wharton still compels the attention of aspiring novelists is excellent news, but these emulations are based on a dangerous misreading. Unlike her Modernist contemporaries, Wharton was a gifted dramatist, showing her genius in dialogue and scene development. From our vantage a century later, her storytelling skill can make her seem like a literary popularizer, a bejeweled godmother to chick-Lit. It isn't so. Wharton was a rigorous stylist and an unbending elitist in matters of aesthetics. She regularly confronted her anxieties about the commercialization of literature—including in "The Age of Innocence."
Here, in a brief tangential scene, Wharton shows Newland Archer meeting his old friend Ned Winsett, "a pure man of letters, untimely born in a world that had no need of letters." Realizing there is no market for literature, Winsett has been forced to take a "sub-editorial job on a women's weekly." Wharton knew that, however gilded the age might have been, the rarefied world she knew was also culturally and intellectually barren. When writers today squander their talents on books fashioned for the marketplace, they're helping walk literature back toward that arid place—and they make themselves prime targets for Whartonian satire and lament.
Remember Jake Spoon, the cocksure Texas Ranger in Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove"? Jake was renowned as a lethal gunfighter, but it was all based on a fluke shot he made when he was young and killed a bandit at long distance with the sun in his eyes. From then on, he had to live under the shadow of that reputation.
Jake Spoon, meet Mark Haddon. Mr. Haddon's name became known to the world with his 2003 debut novel, "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time," an impetuous hipshot of a book that struck the bull's-eye of the best-seller list. Written from the viewpoint of an autistic 15-year-old, the novel both entertained and helped spur a national conversation about developmental disorders.
Mr. Haddon's new novel, "The Red House" (Doubleday, 264 pages, $25.95), follows an extended family on a weeklong vacation. Angela and her brother, Richard, have been estranged for 20 years, but after their mother dies they decide to reunite in the British countryside in Herefordshire. With Angela are her husband, Dominic, and three rambunctious children. Richard is joined by his wife and her petulant teenage daughter. A great deal of angry dysfunction ensues. but the disputes seem almost pointedly generic—we get the hormonal teenage son, the daughter going through a religious phase, the cheating husband, the resentful stepdaughter, and so on.
The specter of Mr. Haddon's inventive best seller seems to loom over "The Red House" as the author struggles to find an equally flashy narrative technique. The story bounces frenetically between the eight characters' perspectives as a rapid succession of concise scenes unfolds (often they are just a paragraph long). By hastily leaping into the middle of different people's thoughts, Mr. Haddon seems to be trying to capture the psychological hurly-burly of a stressed-out family. The rancor and tension know no lulls, except when somebody wants to take a photo: "Everyone briefly gathered and posed and smiling at their future selves. Beaches and cathedrals, bumper cars and birthday parties, glasses raised around a dining table. Each picture a little pause between events. No tantrums, no illness, no bad news, all the big stuff happening before and after and in between."
But Mr. Haddon's technical bravado cannot mask the basic unimportance of the characters' problems. The spray of fraught but ultimately mundane scenes makes "The Red House" seem less a novel than a literary flipbook.

MOORE, Okla. - A monstrous tornado at least a half-mile wide roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs Monday, flattening entire neighborhoods and destroying an elementary school with a direct blow as children and teachers huddled against winds up to 200 m.p.h. At least 51 people were killed, and officials said the death toll was expected to rise.
The storm laid waste to scores of buildings in Moore, a community of 41,000 people about 10 miles south of the city. Block after block lay in ruins. Homes were crushed into piles of broken wood. Cars and trucks were left crumpled on the roadside.

I read that the the PS3 is gonna have a GPU (developed by nVIDIA) with at least 256mb of XDR DRAM (possibly 512mb) built into the GPU itself!!! Were talkin XDR DRAM, now, thats a whole lot better than DDR. On top of that its going to use a special disk format called "BLU-RAY" that can hold up to 50gigs of data!!! That also means that it will be backwards compatible to the PS1 and PS2! Not only that its also supposed to have a built in hard drive too (xbox2 wont :) Game developers are talkin bout PS3 games, like football games, are going to beable to show emotions on players faces, distinct facial differinces, dynamic lighting/shadeing, and all in high definition. So basicaly... PS3 IS GONNA KICK BIG TIME ASS!!! (and xbox's ass too)
PS3, lookin good

EVERY DAY, two Pennsylvanians die from lack of health insurance.
This depressing fact is one of the main findings of a study by Families USA, which looked at Pennsylvania in their first-ever, state-level study of the impact of health insurance - or rather, its absence.
In 2006, they estimate that more than 700 people died due to lack of health insurance; in the span between 2000 and 2006, the number was 4,800. And across the country, twice as many people died from lack of health insurance as die from homicide.

Spurs vs. Grizzlies: The Process Begins Now
The regular season is upon us. Tonight the San Antonio Spurs host the Memphis Grizzlies, the same team they swept in the 2013 Western Conference Finals. While we typically look forward to fresh beginnings at the start of each season, we'll find these teams are remarkably similar to last season.
Both the starting units and benches are mostly the same. The big offseason addition for the Spurs, Marco Belinelli, looks like he's going fit in nicely with the San Antonio's second unit. Memphis' one big addition is also a familiar face. It wasn't long ago that the Spurs saw plenty of Mike Miller over seven games in the NBA Finals. Even Memphis' new head coach, Dave Joerger, was on the Grizzlies bench last season as an assistant.
So what new are we looking forward to? First and foremost, real basketball games. Second, seeing Pop's early idea of a rotation. How much are we going to see Belinelli and Manu Ginobili play together? How many plays will Pop call for Kawhi Leonard? How many different towel waves does Patty Mills give us? Is Nando De Colo wearing a full suit, or just a sports coat and jeans?
The important thing to remember about opening night is looking at process as opposed to results. How does Kawhi Leonard get his points, not how many points he gets. Does Cory Joseph initiate the offense with the second unit? Are Ginobili and Belinelli going to run the second unit or will they play off the ball? Will Matt Bonner keep wearing New Balance kicks after suffering another flat tire? (Spoiler: he will)
These are questions that will be asked a lot over the next six months and the answers won't come tonight, but it'll be the first piece of a puzzle that will take time to piece together. Tip-off for tonight is at 7:30 p.m. from the AT&T Center. You can catch it on KENS-TV.

Christa Wolf's literary career began and flourished in the GDR where she was more often out of than in favor after 1965 and, after an initial low point, continues to flourish in reunified Germany. Her writing is about negotiation, coming to terms with contradictions, dealing with the unavoidable disappointments that follow any idealistic engagement, and about human beings with ideals living in a world that demands compromises. It is about working toward a personal sense of integrity that takes into account but is not beholden to external notions of justice. She continues to work on being a public intellectual in a western world in which the public intellectual has often been relegated to the margins of public discourse by the media. …

Uh, I'm not usually a dullard (though evidence to the contrary may be shown as I post more on this forum) and I take my thyroid meds... but since eating this way, I seem to have become super alert...
I usually feel 'normal' but I feel more aware... noticing everything without trying.
I'm also waking up earlier. I seem to have lost a little weight as my jeans are looser, and I seem to be constantly happy, though this could be tested by the idiots I have to deal with at work, but for now...
This is normal, right?
Sounds great and is what I'm waiting for to happen to me! Stick with whatever you're doin cos its working, lucky u!

An English girl who's been on lots of different diets, weight gone up and down but always been a naturalist at heart and have always wondered why "Conventional Wisdom" diets don't allow you to eat red meat and nuts - that are purely natural things?! So feel I've found my niche in the PB/Paleo Lifestyle and really want to make this my way of life for good!!!
I was the same to start with, when I went totally primal! Recently I have allowed that nasty coffee back into my life, and havnt felt quite so good...so yesterday decided to cut it out again, and today I feel rank!! That horrible withdrawal headache is back. However, he will only be here for a couple of days, then I will be back to feeling sooper dooper again!
Long may in continue!
Ok, that's good, thanks!
I still have coffee but I've found myself forgetting to have a second.
I tracked my fats and they're up around the 60% plus each day. I have done Atkins, South Beach, which is what led me here, but never had this much sat fat ever in my life. I'm only in my second week but I hope it carries on.
It's freaking awesome!
How's the weather in UK girls? I bet your spring will be better than my summer in Aus was.
Well spring is definately trying to spring! It was lovely and sunny when I walked the dog at 8 this morning, but when I went out
at 10 it had gone cold. Its been a bit overcast this afternoon, but sun is out again now so I can hardly see the mac screen!!
Its definately getting better tho!
Lucky you!
Well I'm awake at 6am this morning. DAMNIT. It's getting earlier every day.
Today I will: Eat food, not poison. Plan for success, not settle for failure. Live my real life, not a virtual one. Move and grow, not sit and die.

I'm liking it Uncephalized... I get to see the people I love before they head out of the door. I'm just hoping it doesn't get earlier than 6am

Tried to post this earlier, but the post didn't take. I'm a pharmacist in a long-term care pharmacy and have been hearing from nurses that their doctors have been using Dificid off-label for VRE. Zyvox is the only oral drug for VRE and it costs thousands of dollars. If they can get Dificid approved for VRE, they might just re-name the drug with a different recommended strength and drive the price to about half that of Zyvox. The sales would probably then dwarf that of the C-Diff indication.
Do you think that is going to become a trend for VRE treatment?
from Sept release:Curtis J. Donskey, M.D., an investigator from the Cleveland VA Medical Center in Ohio, concluded that fidaxomicin is less likely than vancomycin to promote acquisition of VRE colonization in patients treated for CDI, likely due to inhibitory activity of fidaxomicin against many VRE strains and fidaxomicin's relative sparing of the intestinal flora including Bacteroides spp. The results showed that only 7% of patients treated with fidaxomicin acquired VRE versus 31% of vancomycin treated patients (p<0.001) from among a subset of 302 CDI patients, 248 of whom had a negative VRE stool sample upon entering the Phase 3 trial. In addition, 63% of the patients treated with fidaxomicin were found to retain greater than 100,000 Bacteroides bacteria per gram of stool versus only 13% of the vancomycin treated patients (p=0.004). These results provide further evidence that unlike vancomycin, fidaxomicin does not suppress Bacteroides bacteria, which is a major component of the intestinal flora and prevents C. difficile overgrowth. The Bacteroides sparing effect of fidaxomicin could be one of the reasons for the lower recurrence rate observed in the Phase 3 trial.

Program Excellence ensures that members of our movement continue to remain passionate about our Order. Additionally, program excellence is what attracts new teens to AZA and BBG, which is essential for the continued growth of AZA and BBG. At all levels of AZA and BBG, our programs are guided by the five folds of AZA and the six folds of BBG.
These folds exist to ensure that AZA and BBG programming is thorough, diverse in nature and promotes the intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual growth of its members. The folds were not created to serve as a menu, but rather a checklist. A truly excellent program will encompass some of each fold, and it will further embody the attitude that each program is meant to bring something new to the lives of the members of BBYO.
Full Fold Programming is the method of intertwining folds in order to create substantial, flowing programs. The more folds utilized, and the more complex the event plan, the smarter and more stimulating the activity will be. Don't use folds in pieces, but rather, overlay them and bake them together so that all of the folds utilized are felt throughout the experience.
The Guide to Program Excellence is a resource that should be utilized by all AZA and BBG leaders to assist them with planning chapter, council, regional and international programs that truly fit the standards of "program excellence". Additionally, check out the resource library to discover more program excellence resources.
The 5 Folds of AZA
- Athletics: Sports in AZA have always been vital to the building of brotherhood and fraternity. Many councils and regions throughout the Order compete in several different sports. Not only do AZA chapters among the Order compete in sporting events, but also participate in games and athletic-based programming.
- Community Service/Social Action: In accordance with Jewish tradition, AZA emphasizes the values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedakah (charity). Community service can entail a wide range of hands-on activities that involve direct service to those in need. Social action involves mobilizing and educating members to address problems that exist in society, and it requires a group not only to learn about these issues, but also to do something about them. AZA encourages members to take an active role in the community around them.
- Education: Through AZA, Alephs are challenged to learn about things beyond themselves and the borderlines of our Jewish faith. Through educational programming teens learn material that broaden our knowledge and give each individual Aleph a new understanding about the world around them. Education also entails teaching members the traditions of AZA.
- Judaic: Judaic programs bring a unique, spiritual aspect to life in AZA, seeking to develop an understanding of, and appreciation for, the religion and culture of the Jewish people. Through programming in the Judaic fold, we not only learn about our denomination of Judaism, but also about the ones around us, and about the branches that other members practice. Also, creative Jewish programs incorporate the popular culture of today, as well as traditional Jewish rituals.
- Social: AZA chapters sponsor and participate in a wide variety of social programs, often with BBG chapters. While there is nothing wrong with simple social programming, it is important to be creative and use the fold in the proper proportion and to combine this with other folds for effective, meaningful programming.
The 6 Folds of BBG
- Jewish Heritage: Judaism is our common bond. Programming is an integral method to help girls understand and appreciate Judaism. Judaic programming may center around traditions, prayers, culture (song/dance/food), Israel, values, and Judaism in pop culture.
- Community Service: BBG emphasizes the value of tikkun olam (repairing the world). Community service can be either direct or indirect, including either hands-on service (direct), or participating in service without necessarily coming into contact with the community being served (in-direct).
- Social Action: This fold aims to educate members about the world around us, and various challenges facing the global community. Social action also includes advocacy, speaking up for issues that affect our members.
- Recreation: Recreational programming is about moving, getting active, and having a blast! Almost any program can incorporate recreation. MBA (Mind/Body/Attitude) is a sub-fold of recreation and addresses many issues relevant to our lives as teenage girls such as body image, self-esteem, and eating disorders.
- Creativity: The fold of creativity urges members to express themselves and their opinions in new, interesting and relevant ways in order to make a greater impact and is often paired with other folds.
- Sisterhood: Sisterhood is not just a fold; it is the essence of the BBG. Sisterhood teaches us about the role of women as well as how we can support each other as sisters. Sisterhood programs build enthusiasm and dedication for BBG.

Picture source: The New Paper
An illegal Singapore Sex Massage Parlour on Neil Road was raided by the police yesterday evening. Singapore sex freaks have to strike off this place from their diary of sex visits.
About the girls
They are usually dressed up as race queens, nurses, doctors, air stewardesses, office ladies and school girls. And oh yeah…all with super short skirt….tight shirt…they are singapore man's fantasy.
They are aged from 20-30 and most of them seems to be from China. All of them could speak English, so they attract english speaking angmo as well. (In singapore, 'angmo' means white foreigners such as europeans, americans, etc)
About the room
There were five massage rooms separated by partitions which are not extended up to the ceiling. Each room comes with a spermish bed and the door can be locked. The best part of this sex parlour is that you will not dirty or crumble your shirt because there is clothes hanger in the room.
About the price
$40 for an hour's massage and $100 for sex. The girls prefer the latter as they get more money for less work done.
