you are viewing a single comment's thread.
I went in a branch today and the local Mgr was telling me about the business bankers who left. Funny, they are pushing business calls on one hand, and they let the top 3 commercial bankers in the Louisville Region quit on them. Those 3 guys may have had 100 million in loans between them. Not going to grow anything letting this continue to happen.
That's because good bankers cost money and BB&T has never recognized that you have to pay for talent. On the one hand you have perpetually underwhelming "yes men" who stay for 3 or 4 decades at BB&T, where they are good boys and girls, drink the kool aid and cow tow to credit, but are mediocre in all other apsects of revenue generation. The orginators go someplace else. Most of the real talent right now is migrating to smaller community banks. The larger banks have jettisoned their older, more experienced bankers (who they say cost too much) and replaced them with younger, less experienced bankers who are just thankful to have a job. And as a result, you have the case where BB&T is entering completely news lines of lending for which they have no experience and their loan officers are not savy about the businesses they are lending against (and how could they be, they are just mouth pieces for the credit dept). If they would stick to lending agaisnt real estate they could make a killing, but they first need to wipe the slate clean on their 40 year old credit model and grow some stones.

Effects of glucagon on glycogenolysis and vegetal viagra side effects gluconeogenesis are region specific in periportal and perivenous hepatocytes. Igarashi, M. Daimon, H. (1999).
The frequent association of these two elements justifies the clinical concept of psychomotor vegetal viagra side effects slowing. For instance, the difference between choice RT and simple RT performance gives information on central processing time needed for decision making. Most mental operations require a motor output. Motor slowing may influence the clinical evaluation of intellectual slowing, similarly.
REACTION TIME Reaction time procedures allow one to compare the performance of patients with PD with that of matched normal control subjects in tasks with different levels of complexity but with the same motor response. It may therefore be difficult to evaluate clinically the cognitive component of responsetime slowing. The increase of central processing time in patients with PD was either the same or even shorter relative to control subjects, in most of the studies.
Pain has distinctive pricking and vegetal viagra side effects burning sensations. For example, in picking up a cup of hot coffee, P.128 you use limb position sense in identifying the shape of your hand as you grasp the handle. The first two modalities comprise the mechanical sensations, whereas the later three comprise the protective sensations.
Contact with the cup is detected by touch. Temperature sense provides information about the temperature of the cup, and if the cup is too hot, vegetal viagra side effects you experience pain. Itch is triggered selectively by chemical irritation of the skin, provoking the urge to scratch, thereby tending to remove the offending substance.
Each modality can be further subdivided into submodalities, which adds to the richness of somatic sensations. For example, touch consists of several component mechanical sensations including senses of texture and pressure. Many of these modalities are engaged during routine activity.

Vitamin C, nicotinic acid, glutamic acid, hydrochloric acid, and other highly acidic substances could possibly reduce the therapeutic effect of this medicinal. Could possibly reduce the effect of most antibiotics, cause digitalis intoxication and heart arrhythmias, hinder the absorption of isoniazid, and reduce the biological effect of levadopa.

Although many different kinds of vegetal viagra side effects toxic effects have been attributed to acetaminophen use and abuse, except for hepatotoxicity and nephrotoxicity, their incidence is very low and in many cases considered insignificant (for reviews see refs. INTRODUCTION Acetaminophen is the generic name in the United States for 7′-hydroxyacetanilide, the Nacetylated derivative of p-aminophenol (paracetamol is the generic name used in Great Britain and several other countries). In recommended doses, acetaminophen is considered to be efficacious and safe, and is not associated with the high incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding caused by aspirin and nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs, or with the development of Reye's syndrome.
This nonnarcotic analgesic/antipyretic, available over the counter in the United States since 1957, is one of the most widely used drugs in the world, and is available alone and in combination with many other drugs.

|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Safety of Infusion of Autologous Human Bone Marrow Mononuclear Fraction in Children With Sensorineural Hearing Loss
- physiological parameter: Blood Pressure [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 24 hours after stem cell infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Assessing change from baseline systolic blood pressure to post stem cell infusion systolic blood pressure. The metric for summarizing measurements is millimeters of mercury.
- physiological parameter: Pulmonary Endothelial Damage [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to 24 hours post infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Measured by the number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
- Change: Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v3.0 for Hepatic Injury [ Time Frame: Change from baseline to post infusion day 1 ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]The reticuloendothelial system can sequester immature blood elements, theoretically resulting in hepatic injury. An acute elevation of the aspartate transaminase (AST) and Alanine Aminotransferase test (ALT) hepatic enzymes >5.0 - 20.0 x upper limit normal (ULN) in the first 24 hours post infusion will trigger the stopping rules. This level corresponds to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v4.0 Grade 3 adverse event. It is unlikely that "end vessel" microthrombosis would occur in the liver due to the dual blood supply of the liver and the lung is the first pass organ. This will be reported as the number of participants with abnormal laboratory values and adverse events related to treatment.
- Change: Number of Participants With Treatment-Related Adverse Events as Assessed by Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v3.0 for Neurological status [ Time Frame: Change in baseline to 1 day post infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Change in the subject's acute neurologic status will be monitored hourly for 4 hours after infusion. Data recorded include Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) from infusion to discharge. Grade 3 Central Nervous System (CNS) event as defined in the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v4.0 occurring within 12 hours of cellular product infusion will trigger the stopping rules. Other changes temporally related to infusion (those events occurring within 12 hours of infusion) will be considered associated with the protocol and recorded as an adverse event. This will be reported as the number of participants with adverse events related to treatment.
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events for Pulmonary Status [ Time Frame: Baseline to 24 hours after infusion ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Blood-oxygen saturation will be monitored by finger oximeter. Moderate respiratory dysfunction within the first 24 hours post infusion will be considered an adverse event but will not warrant stopping the trial unless recommended by the Data Safety Monitoring Board. In the event of pulmonary dysfunction, standard supportive therapy will be given. Pulmonary symptoms/events corresponding to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE) v3.0 Grade 3 will trigger the stopping rules
- Auditory Brainstem Response [ Time Frame: Baseline, 1 month, 6 months, and 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Audiometry, to-acoustic emissions and Auditory Brainstem Response will be used to assess the physiologic integrity of the neural structures which are critical to normal audition and speech. Changes in these areas will be evaluated by repeating the measures all follow-up visits.

|Assigned Interventions
Experimental: Autologous bone marrow infusion
One time administration of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells intravenously, minimum dose of 6 million cells per kg Total nucleated cells.
Genetic: Autologous Bone Marrow Infusion
The subjects autologous bone marrow cells harvested at Florida Hospital will be infused intravenously by gravity
Other Name: Cell based therapy
Detailed Description:
Autologous human bone marrow mononuclear fraction (BMMF) will be given to children with bilateral moderate to severe sensorineural hearing loss.
Subjects will come to Orlando for pretesting to include an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Auditory brainstem response (ABR), blood work: Complete metabolic panel (CMP), Complete blood count (CBC), Hepatic Function Panel, Prothrombin (PT), Partial thromboplastin time (PTT), International normalized ration (INR), Chest Xray, and a Speech and Language Evaluation.
After pretesting, the subjects will undergo a bone marrow harvest and then receive their autologous bone marrow mononuclear fraction (BMMF) intravenously. The subjects will then be monitored for 24 hours post infusion. After 24 hours, the subject will undergo repeat blood work and a chest x ray. Subjects will then be discharged home. Subjects will follow up in Orlando at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year post infusion. Follow up testing will repeat the exams performed at pretesting.

Optimal Immigration and Cultural Assimilation
This article develops a model that examines the role of cultural conflict in immigration and immigration policy. Cultural differences lead to frictions between natives and immigrants unless the latter make a costly investment to assimilate. This article's key contribution is the joint analysis of the assimilation and migration decisions, which highlights the inefficiency of some commonly advocated policy tools to achieve the first best. U.S. data provide preliminary support for the model's implications.

In the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks, American citizens were extremely passionate about displaying flags and related patriotic merchandise in public. Newspapers like the New York Times even provided colorful printed American flag inserts that could be used for window display. Flags quickly grew more abundant throughout homes and business across the nation. Read more »

It's Friday!
And if you're worried about missing the programmes from this week then don't worry, because you can read about them here and also get a sneaky glimpse of what to expect next week.
Eastenders (BBC1: Mon & Fri – 8pm, Tues & Thurs – 7.30pm)
So, it's all been kicking off in Walford as Dot makes a surprising return with Lauren and Joey caught kissing in the corner, Dot then reveals it to the rest of the family and Kirsty uses Lauren to get at Max.
All very complicated.
Tonight Tanya finds a missed call from Kirsty on Max's phone, Dot begins to regret her decision to return the square and Alfie commits to Roxy.
After Kirsty refuses to sign the divorce papers, Tanya returns home arguing with Max about the key. Lauren pipes up and admits she went to Kirsty for support about Joey.
Max then pays a visit to Kirsty, followed by Lauren, both asking her to sign the papers. Kirsty calls Max for a chat after she sees Lexi in the pub with Billy.
Kirsty tells a surprised Max that she has signed the papers and is leaving Walford because she loves him. Max doesn't believe her and returns home.
Tanya is equally surprised but becomes insecure when Max turns down her advances. She questions him about his marriage to Kirsty and when she realises he loves her back Tanya throws him out.
But will Max stop Kirsty leaving as she gets in the taxi?
We'll have to wait and see.
Utopia (Channel 4: Tuesdays – 10pm)
Well I wasn't exaggerating when I said this will be a confusing one to follow and I have to say I was shocked how violent and graphic it was.
In the first episode on Tuesday we meet the cast and also got to see the brutality of The Network, who will stop at nothing to hide the conspiracies hidden in the graphic novel called 'The Utopia Experiments'.
Within the first five minutes we saw two guys (The Network) enter a comic book shop in search of a mystery woman called, Jessica Hyde. But when they don't get the answers they want they murder all four customers, including a young boy.
We were then introduced to five very different people who were apart of the same Utopia forum. But in a dark twist head of the forum, Bejan , has a second graphic novel to everyone's disbelief.
They agree to meet up but only three make it to the pub, ex-medical student Becky, IT worker Ian and hacker Wilson Wilson. 11-year-old Grant on the other hand goes to Bejan's house and witnesses him being murdered by The Network.
He takes the novel and runs for his life.
Back at the pub, the three forum members are oblivious to what is happening, enjoying a friendly drink. They decide to take the party back to Wilson Wilson nuclear bunker (a clear indicator that he is weird) and wake up the next day to find all their lives have been destroyed.
Ian was the first victim with police turning up to his work, charging him for rape of a young girl. But soon he learns that Becky has had the same treatment, being accused of having child porn of her computer.
However, if you thought that was bad then you will not believe what happened to Wilson Wilson.
After going to the police when he found out that Bejan had 'committed suicide', he becomes a prime target for The Network, who imprison him in his bunker and torture him.
But they don't just beat him and tie him up. Oh no. They decide to rub chillies, sand and bleach in his eyes and then with a tea spoon they gauge out his right eye.
I couldn't watch it!
Miraculously Wilson Wilson escapes, killing one member of The Network and calling for backup from Ian and Becky.
They quickly go into hiding and we are left wondering why the mystery woman, Jessica Hyde, has turned up at Becky's door.
All I can say is that this series is not for the faint hearted. Can't wait to see what the next episode has in-store.
My Mad Fat Diary (E4: Mondays – 10pm)
This hilarious comedy drama did not disappoint, taking everyone back and reminding us who are still in adolescence the horrors for being a teenager.
The drama is based on the main character Rae's actual diary, making it even more comical as we meet the people she spent four-months in a mental institute with and the 'cool' group of friends she met once released.
We also got to meet Rae's mum, who is more interested in herself, as she turns up to the hospital 40 minutes late with her illegal immigrant boyfriend in the boot.
And as we flick through Rae's diary we see how difficult she finds it to fit into her life at home and with people.
There were laugh out loud, cringey moments when Rae makes it obvious that she wants to do the same things her mum does to her boyfriend to her crush Archie.
Just imagine a female version of The Inbetweeners and you have My Mad Fat Diary.
It's addictive to watch!
The Undateables (Channel 4: Tuesdays – 9pm)
It's the second week of the second series and this week had me giggling for one man inparticular, 49-year-old Ray.
He was absolutely adorable, and being a huge Leeds United fan he loves to talk about football.
But like all the undateables he is looking for love and having learning difficulties, makes this even harder for him to achieve. However, luckily he meets the lovely Janet through his ex-fiance's dating company, who broke his heart three years before.
But Ray is set on moving on with love and when he chooses Janet over ex Lolita I couldn't help but cheer for him.
I'm sucker for love.
Alongside Ray there was also extreme sports fan Samantha from Brighton and 30-year-old Steve.
Samantha finds looking for love difficult with her achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism.
At 3 foot 10 she gets a lot of comments from guys and looks from strangers, but after going seven years without a date she bags herself two.
Unfortunately, her skydiving date doesn't go well but her second date with student Colin goes smoothly and both seek a second date.
Steve has facial disfigurement from a condition called Crouzon Syndrome, but this doesn't stop him looking for love.
And Steve finally meets beautiful Ellie who is not scared off by Steve looks and they swap numbers.
Next week we follow Kate, Damian and Oliver.

I strongly agree with The Jewish Week's view that Hillel has every right, actually a duty, not to permit its Swarthmore chapter to invite anti-Zionists to speak in its name ("Chipping Away At Israel's Legitimacy," Editorial, Dec. 20). I would go one step further, however.
Freedom of speech presupposes a free "marketplace of ideas" in which hateful speech is screened out and given its rightful place, which means that it is denigrated and eliminated. In such a marketplace, the proponents of such speech are not only effectively censored but censured as well. Thus, we often see community groups band together to block neo-Nazis and Klan members from using public media to disseminate their hateful message.
The message of the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement is to single out Israel for elimination, a nation established by a vote of the United Nations whose legal existence is beyond question. The unhidden purpose behind the BDS movement is to single out the Jewish people among all peoples and nations of the world to deprive them of their right of self-determination. It is anti-Semitism carried to its extreme. Perhaps the message is a bit more subtle or, better put, hidden, but no less invidious, hateful and racist.
Individuals and groups, whether student or otherwise, who support such hateful speech should be properly censored in the marketplace of ideas and censured as well. They should be cut off from the community, with the same zero tolerance as if they supported a KKK representative speaking at their meetings. I'm sorry, but there is no unfettered right to explore hate.

Petrographical differentiation between Palaeozoic oolitic ironstones from France, Belgium and Germany and application to the provenance study of archaeological artefacts – preliminary results

Samples of Palaeozoic oolitic ironstone beds susceptible of having being used as raw materials for Neolithic red ochres, have been petrographically investigated. The preliminary results of this first comparative analysis are quite encouraging: microfacies differences have been observed between Ordovician oolitic ironstones from Normandy (France), late Upper Devonian oolitic ironstones from Belgium and uppermost Lower Devonian to lowermost Middle-Devonian (Emsian-Eifelian) oolitic ironstones from the Eifel area (Germany). Petrographical differentiation is based upon contrasting grain size, mineralogy (hematite/chlorite ratio) and typology of the ferruginous ooids, besides differences in mineralogy, diagenetic history and lithologic nature of the host sediments. Most conspicuous are differences in ferruginous ooid typology, including "true" concentric ooids, superficial ooids, algal oncoids and pseudo-ooids (ferruginized cortoids and rounded bioclasts). "Flax seed" or Clinton-type iron ores (rich in flattened ooids) and "fossil iron ores" (essentially composed of ferruginized bioclasts) can be identified as well as transitional or mixed types. Homogenous and well-sorted, often flattened and fine-grained ferruginous "true" ooids (flax seed ore) with alternating hematite and chlorite cortices in a sideritic- chloritic or fine siliciclastic matrix, are characteristic for the Ordovician (Llanvirn) oolitic ironstones of Normandy (basal part of the Urville Shales). Locally, weathered levels exist, enclosing limonitic (goethitic) crusts. Medium-sorted, fine-to coarse- grained ferruginous hematitic pseudo-ooids (ferruginized bioclasts) in a bioclastic limestone matrix (fossil ore) characterize the Lower-Middle Devonian boundary oolitic ironstone beds (Heisdorf and Lauch Formations, Eifel Synclines). Finally, well- to medium-sorted heterogenous, fine- to medium-grained, pure or mixed flax seed- and fossil ore-type hematitic oolitic ironstones in siliclastic and/ore carbonate matrices, characterize the Belgian Latest Upper Devonian (Famennian) ironstone deposits (Hodimont Formation, Famenne Shales Group). Several stratigraphic levels do exist within the Lower Famennian and basal part of the Upper Famennian in the Namur, Dinant and Vesdre Synclinoria, but the lowermost Famennian one is the only level that has been mined. Within some of the younger Famennian oolitic ironstone levels, proximal and distal facies can be distinguished on the basis of microfacies differences and mineralogy of the ferruginous pseudo-ooids. Only the proximal hematitic facies of the lowest stratigraphical oolitic ironstone level (level I) is supposed to have been used in prehistoric times for the manufacturing of ochre. Diagenetic sideritization and dolomitization, particle deformation as well as sulphide mineralizations, affect most of the studied oolitic ironstones. However, the intensity of these mineralizations varies strongly (even within the same deposit) and depends on local tectonics. A distinction can be made between the Emsian-Eifelian and Famennian fossil iron ores, based on the nature of the bioclasts and other ferruginzed components). Eifelian oolitic ironstones contain ferruginized crinoids, bryozoans, trilobites, brachiopods, goniatites besides ferruginized siliciclastic intraclasts, whereas the Famennian ones are dominated by ferruginous ooids and algal oncoids, mixed with ferruginized bioclasts including crinoids, bryozoans, brachiopods, ostracods, algae and incertae sedis, and locally intraclasts (ferruginized stromatolitic crusts). Distal facies contain slightly Fe-impregnated bioclasts only such as crinoid ossicles and display a higher chlorite/hematite ratio. Thin sections have been made in archeological objects (red ochre), allowing a first comparative petrographical analysis indicating their probable geological and geographical provenance.

Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and Laser Ablation Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) have largely demonstrated their capability to analyse trace elements for determining the origin of archaeological materials. Trace elements can in fact be used as fingerprint of the geological origin and thus contribute to provenance investigations. This point is an important question for prehistoric studies, as it provides information on mobility, exchanges and interaction between groups of population. We present experimental PIXE configurations which allow to investigate prehistoric oolithic haematite, at the ppm level without any preparation or sampling. We compare the data obtained with two devices, namely AGLAE (Accélérateur Grand Louvre d'Analyse Elémentaire) in Paris and the cyclotron in the Centre Européen d'archéométrie in Liège and we determined the uncertainties of measures. The geological samples were compared in order to estimate de geochemical variability in stratigraphy and in width of oolithic haematite from the Ordovician in Caen region (France) and from the Devonian in Hesbaye (Belgium). These data were also compared to oolithic haematite used during Mesolithic and LBK (Early Neolithic) in both the regions. Furthermore we looked for mineralogical fingerprints by X-Ray Diffraction on disoriented powders. The mineralogical composition is ubiquitous and no discrimination between the stratigraphical layers was possible. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 82 (4 ULg)

Mined since prehistoric times, oolitic ironstones (OIS) were a very important world source of iron from 1850 to 1945: hereafter they have been progressively replaced by the Precambrian Banded Iron- Formations (BIF). OIS are iron-rich sedimentary rocks bearing ferruginous ooids. They consist of at least 15% iron. In Western Europe, their overall depositional environment is that of a shallow shelf, most often located close to the transition from non-marine to marine environments. Their main age range is concentrated within the Ordovician through Devonian and the Jurassic through Paleogene. Proterozoic occurrences are known but these occur outside Europe. The host rocks of the ironstones are predominantly clastic, whereas the host sediment of the ferruginous ooids can be either clastic or carbonate or both. The OIS occur at the top of coarsening and shoaling upward cycles. They represent condensed deposits and transgressive system tracts. Numerous oolitic ironstone deposits are interpreted as tempestites or as intertidal deposits. It is generally agreed that ferruginous ooids formed in shallow marine water conditions, near the water-sediment interface, with repeated reworking of the sediment. Such an environment implies oxidizing conditions, the sedimentary iron being in the ferric state. The exact source of the iron is still a matter of discussion and speculation, just as the primary or secondary origin of the ferruginous ooids. Besides hematite (or goethite), also siderite, Fe-dolomite and berthierine/chamosite are present in the OIS as iron-bearing minerals. Due to weathering processes the carbonate matrix is often removed, the iron is released and oxidized, whereas the ferrous silicates are converted into ferric oxides or ferric hydroxides. Many old mining activities are based on occurrences of this weathered ore. The latter material has also strong staining properties. 1. Germany OIS are outcropping in the Eifel area. The latter is part of the Ardenno-Rhenish Massif and lies in the eastern extension of the Neufchateau Synclinorium, south of the Ardenne Anticlinorium (enclosing the Cambro-Ordovician Stavelot-Venn inlier). The general structure of the Eifel corresponds to an intensively folded and faulted synclinorium In the center of this synclinorium, outcrops of OIS occur on both flanks of successive synclines that are individually named (from the north to the south): the Sötenicher Mulde, the Blankenheimer Mulde the Rohrer Mulde, the Dollendorfer Mulde, the Ahrdorfer Mulde and the Hillesheimer Mulde. Two important stratigraphic levels with IOS are known and they coincide more or less with the Lower-Middle Devonian boundary (Uppermost Emsian- Lowermost Eifelian). These OIS represent excellent marker beds for geological mapping. 2. The Netherlands There is no outcrop of OIS in this country. 3. Belgium Oolitic iron ores were formed during different periods in Belgium: the Lochkovian (Lower Devonian, Dinant Synclinorium, restricted to the Belgian-French border), the Givetian (Middle Devonian, Dinant Synclinorium), the Frasnian (Upper Devonian, Dinant Synclinorium), the Famennian (Upper Devonian, Namur S., Dinant S. & Vesdre S.) and the Toarcian-Aalenian (Jurassic, Lorraine area, Paris Basin – called "minette ore"). The most important OIS level is the Lower Famennian one. It has been intensively mined until the middle of the 20th century, essentially in the Namur Synclinorium, between the cities of Namur and Huy. In this area, its important thickness (until 1.85m) and the number of layers triggered the development of an important economic activity. Outcrops were restricted to the tributaries of the Meuse River. The Famennian oolitic ironstone facies change from north to south by a gradual decrease in the number of layers, in their thickness, grain size, ooid concentration, clast size and iron content. They represent also excellent lithostratigraphical marker beds. The clay-dolomitic matrix is being progressively replaced by a calcitic cement. The other Devonian OIS levels are not of great economic importance, they were only mined locally, to supply smith's working places. Due to surface mining, outcrops are now very rare, and often indicated by a light depression in the topography only. 4. Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg OIS are restricted to the Jurassic (Aalenian-Lower Bajocian) in the NW part of the Paris Basin. This essentially goethitic ore ("minette") was intensively mined in the three adjacent country borders area (FR-BE-LU). No OIS levels in the Lower Devonian are outcropping in the northern part of the Grand Duchy. 5. France Numerous OIS layers are known in France at several stratigraphical levels, but a lot of them cannot be considered as a real ore. Paleozoic OIS belonging to the Armorican Massif were mined in the Normandy area (Urville Fm, Llanvirn, Middle Ordovician) and in the Bretagne area (Arenig, Lower Ordovician). In Normandy, OIS do outcrop inside several synclines (e.g. May and Urville Sy.), as one thick composite layer. The spatial relationships of the different oolitic ironstone levels with the Linienbandkeramik settlements (LBK) in the studied area, will be presented. [less ▲]Detailed reference viewed: 151 (3 ULg)

Les Bossats, near Ormesson, is a newly discovered late mousterian site dated around 47.000 B.P. by thermoluminescence. The archaeological level, fossilized by loess, revealed a rich industry based on the discoide mode, associated with numerous fragments of red pigment rocks. The geological sources were identified by means of SEM-EDX, XRD, FT-IR, PIXE and by petrographical observation of thin sections. The past mechanical and morphological modifications of the pigment blocks were characterized by macro-photography, microscopy and topographical micro-measures of the used surfaces. It was thus possible to demonstrate that the colouring materials were brought to the site by the Neanderthals and the supply in raw material was local. Eleven blocks show different use marks such as facets, grooves and scars. The colouring materials employed by the Neanderthals on the camp site were used by different process (scraping, rubbing, crushing and grinding) in order to obtain red powder. The archaeological remains reveal an organized proceeding sequence of red pigment. During the late Mousterian a great phenomenon in expansion in western Europe is remarkable by the much wider exploitation of mineral red and black pigments corresponding to technical modifications and divers utilizations under development. As such, it questions our perception of the humanity of Neanderthal. Did he produced symbol by using pigments or were these minerals part of the economy of subsistence?

In many reports of prehistoric pigment studies, these artefacts are considered as the testimony of past symbolic activities. The first step of the processing sequence, that is to say the acquisition of raw colouring material, is not well described and understood. Physico-chemical (SEM-EDS, XRD, TEM-EDX, µPIXE-µPIGE) and petrological analysis were carried out on the colouring materials excavated in the châtelperronian layers (40000-35000 B.P.) of the French site the Grotte du Renne in Arcy-sur-Cure. The Châtelperronian is one of the transitional techno-complexes, basically one of the last cultures made by Neanderthals in Europe. The physico-chemical data were related to the location of the colouring materials on the site, in association with exceptionally well preserved "hut" structures. It was thus possible to demonstrate that none of these materials, either red or black, was heated before being used, contrary to what had been assumed so far. The supply in colouring materials was as carefully organized as for mineral materials such as flint, for example; they were collected in different geological formations occasionally showing on the surface, close to the cave and at more than 30 km from the cave. The exploitation of these geological sites did not vary during the whole Châtelperronian period, and privileged materials which can easily be ground to powder. The set of colouring minerals from the Grotte du Renne reveals Neanderthals' in-depth knowledge of mineral materials; they understood perfectly well their properties and qualities, and used them extensively, so that the raw colouring material was part of the livelihood and the Châtelperronian site must have been a literally dazzling sight, all red and black.

The transformation of yellow goethite into red hematite by heating has long been assumed for Palaeolithic red artefacts excavated close to fireplaces. However, this transformation is extremely rare. Using SEM–FEG–EDX, PIXE–PIGE, TEM and mXRD, we characterized the mineralogical and chemical compositions of four microsamples of colouring materials from the Mousterian layer B in the es-Skhul rock-shelter, from about 100 kya ago. For some colouring materials, the Mousterian people of es-Skhul chose to gather remote yellow lumps for heating. Their significant transport distance provides evidence of the possible high cultural value of these colouring materials for transformation into red pigments.

The elemental analysis of minerals/rocks has been often used for the determination of their geological origin. When these natural rocks were exploited by prehistoric civilizations as objects, weapons, or pigments, the composition of the minerals can provide information on the mobility, the exchanges and the interaction between groups of population. In this paper, we will present results obtained from archaeological samples of prehistoric pigments, mainly iron and manganese oxides. PIXE analysis has been applied to samples of the prehistoric cave "La grotte du Renne" in previous termArcynext term-previous termsurnext term-previous termCurenext term, France (Chatelperronian, 38,000–34,000 BP). Because most of the archaeological objects are decorated or display some use marks, it is not possible to take samples. Consequently, we have used a non-destructive technique thanks to the external beam of AGLAE (C2RMF, Paris). In order to improve the limits of detection (LOD less than 10 ppm from Cu to Sb), a metal absorber has been placed on the X-ray detector to preferentially filter the Fe–K or Mn–K lines. Based on the quantitative analysis of major and trace elements, we have obtained groups of compositions corresponding to different geological sources. We demonstrate in this study that it is possible to extend PIXE analysis to the characterization of prehistoric pigments such as iron and manganese oxides for differentiating potential sources of pigments in archaeological contexts.

NanoKTN announces new sustainable design workshopComments Email
NanoKTN, the organisation which helps research and industry come together through knowledge and experience transfers, is to host its third Nano4Design workshop later this month.
The event, covering nano-enabled sustainable design, will be held in Central St Martins College of Arts and Design in London on 29 November and will feature presentations from industrial professionals and academics on current advances in sustainable product design.
Dr Martin Kemp, theme manager at NanoKTN, explained, "Sustainability is now a key driver in product design and nanotechnology is helping to deliver new materials, techniques and approaches to realise sustainable design in a wide range of diverse application markets from architecture to cars, aircraft to fashion, and electronic devices to alternative technology.
"Whole life cycle analysis is also now an important issue in the realm of product design, and in some markets, such as automotive, is enforced by regulation such as the end-of life vehicle directive."
Kemp said the workshop would highlight the new developments in sustainable product design, offer delegates the ideal opportunity to exchange information, raise awareness of market needs, "and help the further commercialisation of nanotechnology innovations that maximise benefits to humans and the environment while minimising risks."
The Technology Strategy Board will also be presenting the latest funding call for the government's 'circular economy', in the form of a grant-funding competition for feasibility studies into the re-design of products, components and systems to retain material within the economy over several cycles of use.
The competition aims to "stimulate innovation in design to address two high-level challenges of reducing the global environmental impact of materials that we use, and reducing dependence on key raw materials, the supply of which is potentially at risk".

WASHINGTON, July 3, 2015 – Lombardi Brothers Meats, a Denver, Colo. establishment, is recalling approximately 26,975 pounds of tenderized steak and ground beef products that may be contaminated with E. coli O157:H7, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) announced today.
The tenderized steak and ground beef products with generic labeling were produced between June 12 and June 30, 2015. The following products are subject to recall: [View Labels (PDF Only)]
The products subject to recall bear the establishment number "EST. 772" inside the USDA mark of inspection. The products were shipped for hotel, restaurant and institutional use in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming.
The problem was discovered June 30 when the firm received a positive result for E. coli as part of its in-house sampling program. Some products made from the same source material as the positive sample were shipped into commerce.
FSIS and the company have received no reports of illnesses associated with consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an illness should contact a healthcare provider.
E. coli O157:H7 is a potentially deadly bacterium that can cause dehydration, bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps 2–8 days (3–4 days, on average) after exposure to the organism. While most people recover within a week, some develop a type of kidney failure called hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS). This condition can occur among persons of any age but is most common in children under 5-years old and older adults. It is marked by easy bruising, pallor and decreased urine output. Persons who experience these symptoms should seek emergency medical care immediately.
FSIS routinely conducts recall effectiveness checks to verify recalling firms notify their customers of the recall and that steps are taken to make certain that the product is no longer available to consumers.
FSIS advises all consumers to safely prepare their raw meat products, including fresh and frozen, and only consume beef products that have been cooked to a temperature of 145° F for steaks and roasts and 160° F for ground product. The only way to confirm that beef is cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria is to use a food thermometer that measures internal temperature, http://1.usa.gov/1cDxcDQ.
Consumers with questions regarding the recall can contact Jeff Harvey, company general manager, at (303) 458-7441, ext. 231. Media with questions regarding the recall can contact Robert Glass, company sales manager, at (303) 458-7441, ext. 231.
Consumers with food safety questions can "Ask Karen," the FSIS virtual representative available 24 hours a day at AskKaren.gov or via smartphone at m.askkaren.gov. The toll-free USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline 1-888-MPHotline (1-888-674-6854) is available in English and Spanish and can be reached from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Eastern Time) Monday through Friday. Recorded food safety messages are available 24 hours a day. The online Electronic Consumer Complaint Monitoring System can be accessed 24 hours a day at: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/reportproblem.
USDA Meat and Poultry Hotline
Wash hands with warm, soapy water for at least 20 seconds before and after handling raw meat and poultry. Wash cutting boards, dishes and utensils with hot, soapy water. Immediately clean spills.
Keep raw meat, fish and poultry away from other food that will not be cooked. Use separate cutting boards for raw meat, poultry and egg products and cooked foods.
Color is NOT a reliable indicator that meat has been cooked to a temperature high enough to kill harmful bacteria.
The only way to be sure the meat or poultry is cooked to a high enough temperature to kill harmful bacteria is to use a thermometer to measure the internal temperature.
Refrigerate raw meat and poultry within two hours after purchase or one hour if temperatures exceed 90º F. Refrigerate cooked meat and poultry within two hours after cooking.
|USDA Recall Classifications
|Class I
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a reasonable probability that the use of the product will cause serious, adverse health consequences or death.
|Class II
|This is a health hazard situation where there is a remote probability of adverse health consequences from the use of the product.
|Class III
|This is a situation where the use of the product will not cause adverse health consequences.

Cornersville-Blythe News, July 27, 2012
By Martha Hardy
Hello, friends and neighbors. We here in Blythe have been so grateful for the abundance
of rainfall we have been getting . We hear that the water table is still not up as much as it
needs to be but we feel certain that the Lord in His wisdom will provide what is needed.
I have some sad news to report: the Cornersville community lost two of its citizens
last week: Katherine Stroud and Brenda McCallum, both of whom lived on Broadway Road across the road from each other.
I was not personally acquainted with Stroud, but Brenda Mccallum was a from a family
that we have known and been friends with for many years. Brenda was a very talented and creative, and a great cook and seamstress. She worked as a pharmacy tech for Tyson Drug store in Holly Springs for 27 years and had been trained as a diabetes counselor.
These two will be missed and we would like to extend our condolences to the families.
This has been a busy summer for Austin, as he has enjoyed a week of fun with my son,
Norman, and his wife, Tina, and their daughter, Mckenzie. They went camping on the Norfork River in Arkansas. They enjoyed fishing, canoeing, and kayaking, and sightseeing in surrounding areas like the Dripstone Caverns.
A few weeks back Austin and his friends attempted to have a campout in the woods behind
my house but were rained out. They were determined to try again and, despite my (and the weatherman's) predictions last week, they got prepared with all the usual camping gear, food, sodas, and a new tent, attempting to, in their words "out-weather the weatherman." Unfortunately for them the weather won again, as the tent leaked and they gave up and were back at the house in the middle of the night wet, cold, and very muddy.
This past week Austin and the youth group from Amaziah Baptist Church went on a trip to
Waynesboro, Tenn., and had a day-long float trip down the Buffulo River. Since Austin did not feel the need for sunscreen he came home with a bad sunburn, but reported that everyone had fun. This was the second year for the group to take this trip.
David Dawson has been working on painting and repairing his mom's house, for which she is so very grateful. Her Grandson Jeff, who has been living in Houston, Texas, has moved back to Olive Branch and, when his new job permits, he has been helping his dad.
We are so very blessed with good neighbors who share the bounty of their gardens with us.
Joyce and Doyle Boatner gave me a great batch of tomatoes and have been putting them
up to enjoy during the winter, in the form of spaghetti sauce and salsa.
This is all I have for now but leave you with this: "the troubles in life are intended to make us
better not bitter."

Membership gyms love this time of year; it's New Year's resolution time! Gyms are waiting for you to arrive at a fast and furious pace - don't let them take advantage of your impulse to get more fit this year. Yes, I said impulse - I am challenging you to make your resolution last longer than the next few weeks. Here are some tips to help you stay financially fit at the gym:
1. Prepay your membership fee. Some gyms offer a discount for paying the first 12 or 15 months up front. You can save up to half of the total membership fee.
2. Gym deals differ. Leverage yourself by presenting offers from competing gyms.
3. Check with your employer and insurance company. They frequently help pay for gym memberships.
4. Bring a friend. Why not try to get a 2 for 1 deal or at the very least waive the initiation fee.
5. Do a month to month membership if you think you might not last. Don't get stuck in a long term contract for a gym you might not use.
Gyms are banking on the fact that you are purchasing an impulse membership and will never show up again. Try the above tips to help save some money at the gym.

Holt chose to attend Vermont State University after high-school, and this ended up being a good decision for him. All through his time at the school Holt created impressive figures, and was named the ACC Offensive Player of the Year after his senior season in 1998. During that time he found 88 balls for more than 1,604 yards. He also caught 1-6 touchdown passes that season; a North Carolina State record.
