Yes. It definitely would faster though not cheaper. I am going to make the intire assembly from firewall to rear axle. I have the tools and being retired, the time. The floor pan assemblies with braces are 1025 dollars plus truck freight from Ecklers, not counting the inner rockers. I can make them for a couple of sheets of 18 gauge. I am hoping that there will be some guys out there on a budget that will like to see it done.

You got it Henry. I am not going to try to save any of it. Building the whole bottom of the car from scratch. I am going to start a thread. It will be time consuming but with the shrinker/stretcher jaws I can make the braces even if I have to make them in pieces.
I have always built rusty cars no one else wanted. The key is you have to start with a car that will have value when you are done. This is how I manage to play with my cars. I try to make the hobby pay for itself. In return, I donate my labor. Of course it helps that I don't do it all day long for a living.
As a side note, when I retired from the Telephone Co, I started doing customer work. I lasted about 6 months and hated it. It took a couple of years for me to begin to enjoy going back to the garage to play with my toys.

Date of Stay: July, 2011
I moved to this area for work. At that time I researched every possible RV park in this area. Even though Ozark Highlands' reviews weren't very favorable, I chose to try them out. I was very impressed with their professionalism and their dedication to making my stay a favorable experience. I have decided to stay here indefinitely instead of locating elsewhere. It is a very quiet, clean, family oriented community with accommodation for overnight to extended stay patrons. I would recommend them to anyone!
Date of Stay: March, 2011
Very nice people. Small town environment. Nice sites with cable provided.

My love of music came first. Closing the bedroom door to my adolescent man-cave, I would grasp the corners of my LP album covers, admiring the art. Then I opened it to find the lyrics inside. Discovery in words. While the music has always come first in my world, I created this blog to honor the verse and the poetry. My music in the background.

The Path of Least Resistance, Part I

You're singing my song Music Man. Been there, done that, bought the peace sign. Favorite line "Bobbing for forbidden apples, peer pressure holding our hazed faces below the surface" - generation nothing. Yep.ReplyDelete
A way of life perfectly described. Ah, the memories.ReplyDelete
Boom, Michael. I lived this! What a wonderful, heart-wrenching post. Classic lines throughout.ReplyDelete
Remember it well, and you got it to a tee.ReplyDelete
Excellent phrasing and advice to be well taken. Great read.ReplyDelete

My brother lived through the vietnam nightmare too. you've given me chills with this Michael. so profoundly expressed and so well written.ReplyDelete
Dark and powerful. A well written account of those pushed into doing what they never wanted to do. 'Generation nothing'... so cool man.ReplyDelete
Miguel: Powerful cousin to Ginsberg's "Howl." Certainly describes the arc of many of our lives. Is it the path of least resistance to resist its darkness? Not deny it, but resist it: there's a manichean soul in your singin' body, brother: this is the anthemic song of the Dark Pleroma, but you're also dancing with the tetraprosopon in the JMike Inferno, the daddy-man.ReplyDelete
A fine fine piece for year's end, hermano.
Paschal - Bingo and bravo!! Ginsberg has been with me the last few weeks. I had been pondering over some of the stylings I have managed this past year and decided I wanted to explore more in the vain of The Free World . I felt like that was drawing on some dusty corner influence from Ginsberg, though I hadn't read him in 25 years. Mi esposa gave me for Christmas, Poetry and Life Allen Ginsberg: A Narrative Poem, which I am in the middle of, and a collection of letters between AG and his father, I look forward to.ReplyDelete
I mirrored the long sentence oratorical style of "Howl" in this one, along with the self examinational generational definition from my perspective. Thanks for the manichean comparisons. Perhaps accidental, but I love the education you provide me, El Profesor!
I 'spose I spend a bit of time thinking about the dark and light. Maybe it's my being reminded of my own mortality and human frailty of late.
The path of least resistance is not celebrated in Western society. We champion those who swim upstream, think out of the box, and climb the highest mountains. There are many who attempt and almost as many who fail. I think those who go with the flow are the unsung majority. The real proliferation of society. The salmon among us occasionally discover the wheel. It's the rest of us who drive it around town...
Miguel: How cool that you've been in the thick of Ginsberg; he's had an able student in you, you with your celebrated Jersey poets, WCW and AG, not to mention Whitman declining away in Camden: that's one awesome triumvirate.ReplyDelete
Count me in the path of least resistance crowd, years now, and you're right, it ain't celebrated much here in the West, though one memorable Miami Vice Friday night, there was Izzy, my favorite snitch, responding to an indignant Sonny that he was simply following "the path of least resistance, maing."
I bet it was fun to run down the back alleys of those lovely long Howlesque lines in Part I.
Szczesliwego Nowego Roku!

The Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun is an excellent choice for a home defense firearm. I think you'll find the regular stock much more comfortable to shoot than either the pistol grip or the folding stock, and it's still not a problem to maneuver indoors. Try to get to a gunshop or gunshow to handle one and see how it fits your body.
The standard 6-shot capacity, 18-inch barrel model would be fine for your needs; they make 8- and 9-shot models if you're so inclined.
Don't use any load smaller than Number 4 buckshot for self defense purposes. Slugs aren't necessary, and the No. 4 shot spread from an 18-inch barrel at indoor room ranges is negligable, so you still have to aim.
Prefectly serviceable used shotguns (think police trade-ins) are available at reasonable prices, probably less than $250.

Ernst & Young to Pay $123 Million to End Tax-Fraud ProbeBob Van Voris
Ernst & Young LLP will pay $123 million to resolve a U.S. tax-fraud probe as part of a non-prosecution agreement, according to a statement by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office.
The accounting firm "admitted wrongful conduct" by its partners and employees in connection with four tax shelters from 1999 to 2004, according to yesterday's statement. About 200 Ernst & Young clients used the shelters to try to avoid more than $2 billion in taxes, prosecutors said.
In addition to the money and the admissions, Ernst & Young agreed to a series of permanent restrictions on its tax practice and will continue to cooperate with the government's tax-shelter investigation. The firm's cooperation began in 2003, according to the statement.
In exchange, prosecutors agreed not to charge the firm in connection with the case. The non-prosecution agreement doesn't cover individual Ernst & Young partners and employees, according to the statement.
"Ernst & Young is pleased to put this matter from a decade ago behind us," spokeswoman Amy Call Well said in an e-mailed statement. "As the settlement with the U.S. Attorney's office recognizes, these activities represent an isolated period in the firm's long history of providing ethical and professional tax services."
Earlier Settlement
Ernst & Young settled an IRS examination in 2003, paying $15 million and agreeing to improve its internal quality monitoring system, according to the firm.
Last year, BDO Seidman LLP agreed to pay $50 million in a deferred prosecution deal. In 2010, Deutsche Bank AG reached a $553.6 million non-prosecution agreement with the U.S. KPMG LLP settled a tax shelter investigation for $456 million in 2005.
Donna Guerin, a former partner with the law firm Jenkens & Gilchrist, pleaded guilty in September to one count of conspiracy and one count of tax evasion for her part in what prosecutors have called the biggest tax-fraud prosecution in history.
Prosecutors claimed Guerin helped run a 10-year tax shelter scheme that cost the U.S. $92 million in lost taxes. She was sentenced yesterday to eight years in prison and ordered to pay $190 million in restitution by U.S. District Judge William Pauley in Manhattan.

Havin a problem with my germen shepherd mix chow puppy her ears dnt point up I dnt kno if I should tak her to get ..
Her ears cropped. Help please!!

- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
I don't think "cropped" is the term you mean. That's when they actually cut off part of the ear (think pitbulls, Great Danes, Dobermans). German Sheps and Chows are NEVER cropped. BUT, if the ears are not standing up by the usual time, sometimes they are SET or TAPED. Just google "German Shepherd ear taping" and you will find links to dozens of pages about it. This does not involve any ear surgery, just various ways of making the ears stand up temporarily while the cartilage hardens.
You don't say how old your pup is, though. If the ears have not come up at all by six or seven months, you are probably not going to get them to come up now. The right time to start is probably about 5 months old (to give the ears time to come up on their own first, before resorting to tape.)
If it doesn't work, don't worry too much though- floppy ears are cute too!
Bruno CGC answered on 7/22/12. Helpful? / 1
It is not a big deal if the dogs ears do not stand up. It does not help them to hear or anything so it is not a big deal if they never do stand up. The only way it would really matter would be if it was a show dog and since yours is a mix, I would not worry about it. Good luck

She's a Mutt.
Leave her alone, her ears are what they are. If as an adult dog they stand up, so be it.
Pure breed GSD puppies frequently have floppy ears, that go up, then fall again, before they finally stand up by age one.

Topic: At the Pulpit (11/15/07)
TITLE: That I May Comfort Others
By LaNaye Perkins
God, I've served in this man's Army for over 26 years. I've never had to deal with this type of problem before. I don't know what to say to these soldiers. They've been through the worst hell imaginable during their deployment. Several of them have lost their families because of it. You have to help me, I can't do this on my own. But, I know you can guide me, and when I open my mouth in a few minutes, I know you will supply the words these soldiers need to hear from you. Help me to bring comfort to them, just as you have brought comfort to me.
The sermon was charged with the spirit of God as Chaplain Farrow opened his heart and God supplied the words for his soldiers. He told them how God can take the most horrible memories and help them come to terms with them. He went on to encourage each of them to seek help from the many counselors available at the post hospital. He reassured them that Post Traumatic Stress was not something to bury, but something they needed to deal with. The whole sermon was full of love and uplifting to each man, woman, and child in attendance. Several of the soldiers went to the alter to pray at the close of the sermon. Many of them also gave the chaplain firm handshakes and told him thank you through tears as they left. The sermon definitely blessed all who attended.
Later that afternoon Chaplain Farrow laid down for a nap. He was still glowing from the assurance of knowing that God had been able to use him to help others. He peacefully drifted off to sleep. That peace didn't last very long though. Soon his dreams turned to the horrors of war. He was back in Bagdad, and bullets were hitting the hummer he was in. Up ahead he saw an IED take out one of their trucks, effectively stopping them and leaving them no way out. Suddenly there were insurgents rushing their patrol; his friends were screaming in agony as bullets riddled their bodies.
The Chaplain bolted upright in his cot. He heard a man yelling for a medic, then realized the shout came from him. Sweat was pouring off his brow and his heart was pounding with fear. He was lost for a moment, then realized were he was. Reality was beginning to sink in. His entire body was trembling, even though he knew it had just been a dream. He knew God was with him. The unmistakable presence of love surrounded him and brought comfort to his battered soul. His understanding opened up and he knew the message God wanted him to bring to his congregation that evening.
A short time later Chaplain Farrow stood in the little room at the church. Bowing his head, he prayed once more. The sermon would be on II Corinthians 1:3-4 which tells how we will be partakers of suffering so that we can comfort others with the same comfort we have received ourselves. He would open up his heart once more to show others what God could do for them. Reaching for the brass knob he stepped through the doorway to address his congregation.
"I would like to start tonight's message by telling you about a dream I had this afternoon. …….."
Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. -II Corinthians 1:3-4 (KJV) - II Corinthians 1: 3-4

Adopt-a-blog #34 – Mashable
I've spent over 10 years working in the technology world and therefore reckon I must have shared an enormous amount of time with people partial to a bit of blogging every now and then. However, before arriving at Tamar, I don't once recall a conversation where someone has either made reference to their penchant for blogging or wowed me with some fascinating insight that they attributed to blogging. As a virgin blogger (that's right readers, this is my first time) it got me wondering if blogging is something that exists solely for the benefit of those in the blogging community and, if that's the case, how the hell do these people end up in the community in the first place?
To discover more I approached a very much 'out of the closet' blogger that I work with and asked him to point me in the direction of a popular blog so I could immerse myself in the blogging experience and draw my own conclusions.
The site he suggested is called Mashable which, according to its tagline, is "The social media guide". As with all tag lines, this told me nothing of any use about it. Think about L'Oreal for example, in their eyes I'd buy their product "because I'm worth it" whereas I would contest that I am more likely to not walk out in front of a bus "because I'm worth it" rather than use such a line as a justification for buying cosmetics. Anyway, back to Mashable, my first objective was simple, find out it's raison d'être? I couldn't. There is no snappy summary or mission statement to give me any indication as to the overall contribution it could make to improving my life. At this point my instinct was to leave and conclude that blogging ain't for me but, in the interests of drawing a valuable conclusion, I chose to persist.
Next I wanted to know who was not only partaking but willing to put their picture up to prove it. At the time I looked (26/3/09) the front page had 14 blogs that had been contributed by a total of 6 people. Some quick investigation revealed that 5 of these people work for Mashable! Next I moved onto the top 10 most popular blogs section and soon discovered that 7 of these blogs had been written by Mashable employees as well. It was becoming apparent to me that Mashable's raison d'être was to keep 5 or 6 people in paid work which they justified by publicly bringing their insights to each other (why they couldn't just shout them across the office is beyond me).
Surely there had to be more to it than this so there was no escaping it, I had to actually read a blog. I went for the middle of the road and picked the 5th Most popular blog entitled "Thanks to Mashable's Valued Sponsors". This didn't help, after all how unpopular do blogs 6-10 have to be for people to prefer to read the credits? It wasn't looking good so I went for the jugular and hit the most popular blog in a bid to gain something from the experience. It focused on the Facebook redesign and prompted many comments from other bloggers about….Twitter. At this point I lost interest but it did at least give me my conclusion.
Blogging is about offering unsolicited thoughts to the general public and, in return, the general public (who you don't know) give you their opinions. I haven't walked away refreshed with valuable information from my Mashable experience but it has given me an idea. I'm going to start real life blogging. The next time I'm standing in a queue I'm going to give the person in front of me my opinion on something and then offer them a comment on something else. I reckon provoking reactions lies behind the appeal of blogging and what could be more gratifying than real life reactions?

CHAPEL HILL -- Most New Year's resolutions to lose weight fail, as millions of guilty dieters nationwide can attest, but if you think there's no harm in having love handles once you reach 50 or 60, guess again.
A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill nutrition expert says new research shows the best weight for a 60-year-old is the same as for a 30-year-old and, health-wise, thin is definitely in.
Dr. June Stevens, associate professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the UNC-CH schools of public health and medicine, was principal investigator for one of the largest, most definitive studies ever done on obesity's impact on survival. A report on the findings appears in the Jan. 1 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
"Our new study, which involved almost a third of a million subjects, showed that excess body weight increased the risk of death from heart disease and other causes up until late life, and there was no change in the weight associated with the best survival until age 75," Stevens said.
Researchers analyzed deaths among healthy white women and men who participated in the American Cancer Society's Cancer Prevention Study-I. None of the subjects had ever smoked, was sick or had a history of heart disease, stroke, cancer or recent unintentional weight loss. Those who died in the first year of data collection were excluded, and researchers controlled for age, education, physical activity and alcohol use.
Although body weight associated with the longest life did not change, the risk of excess weight was higher in younger adults than in middle-aged and older adults, the study showed. But interpreting risk in people of different ages is tricky, Stevens said.
"Age is the ultimate risk for death -- most any risk factor is going to look small in comparison to old age," she said. "Optimal weight at various ages has been a hotly debated topic with lively exchanges between eminent scientists with divergent views.
"U.S. Department of Agriculture Dietary Guidelines came out in 1990 saying it was all right for people over age 35 to be heavier than younger adults," Stevens said. "In 1995, new USDA guidelines were issued but with age-specific weight recommendations omitted. Both sets were criticized for various reasons."
The new research uncovered the fewest deaths among people ages 30 to 74 who had a body mass index -- an obesity measure -- of between 19 and 22. In other words, those between 90 percent and 100 percent of the 1983 Metropolitan Life Insurance index of ideal weights lived longest. By comparison, a typical female fashion model has a body mass index of about 18.
Optimal weight for a five-foot- four-inch woman would be between 111 and 128 pounds, for example, and for a five-foot-10-inch man, between 133 and 153 pounds. A five-foot-10-inch man between ages 30 and 44 faces a 20 percent higher risk of death if he weighs 166 pounds than if he is 20 pounds lighter.
Although the new study showed that thinner adults lived longer, Stevens hesitated to urge excessive dieting.
"With the methods we have available now, most people can't attain and maintain such a slender weight," she said. "Although it appears that low weight contributes to longer life, perhaps the best New Year's resolution for most Americans is to vow not to gain one more pound beyond what they weigh today. If the public could achieve that more modest goal, it would have a tremendous impact."
Earlier studies have underscored obesity's prevalence in U.S. society
In a nationally representative study of Americans known as NHANES III, 52 percent of women ages 50 to 59 were overweight, while only 20 percent of women in their 20s were. Another large multicenter study of atherosclerosis risk (ARIC), based partly at UNC-CH, found only about a quarter of U.S. adults gained less than 10 pounds between age 25 and late adulthood -- ages 45 to 64.
"Weight gain throughout early and middle adulthood is actually the norm, but it's probably not a very healthy norm," Stevens said.
The new study cannot be used to draw conclusions about weight change, she said.
"We did not study weight change, but just weight at one age, and then subsequent life span. We don't know if the people we studied gained weight, lost weight or stayed the same. We don't know if the heavy people had been heavy all their lives or had gained weight as they aged."
Although the data was not gathered recently, the work has several major strengths, the scientist said. One is that the sample size is so large. Another is that researchers excluded people whose health was suspect.
"The bottom line is 'weigh less and live longer' up until about age 75," she said. "After that, a little extra weight appears not to be a disadvantage. Unfortunately, it looks like you have to wait until you're 75 before you can enjoy a guilt-free piece of holiday fudge."
Besides Stevens, UNC-CH authors are Dr. Jianwen Cai, assistant professor of biostatistics, and statistician Joy L. Wood. Other authors, all epidemiologists, are Drs. Elsie R. Pamuk of the National Center for Health Statistics, David F. Williamson of the National Center for Chronic Disease Control and Prevention and Michael J. Thun of the American Cancer Society.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
First of all let me start this whole story out by stating one important factor. If you can avoid Paypal, avoid using them. They are not a bank, not a credit card company, have no oversight by the government of the United States in terms of direct regulations applied them, have no real use that you could not do between you and the people you buy from and the credit card or banking institution you might use. They have no real purpose other then acting as a money moving firm, that collects a percentage of the charges against the seller account. They actually hate using credit cards, since they make much less then acting as a direct money mover to and from your account you have allowed them to use.
Now one more very very important factor is, if they make any errors in your account, they act like you made the error. Not only that but any charges from your bank as a result of their errors , they refuse to accept any responsibility and blame you for their errors, hence they will not pay you one dime back for the money they cost you. [continued below]....
Remember there is no congress or senate oversite upon their firm. They do what they want to do. However , they are under , just like any other firm that deals with people , whereas they need to abide by The Federal Trade Commission rules and regulations regarding Anti-Trust and monopolizations of and their future attempts to control money moving firms like credit card firms and banks. They have monopolized your ability to use anyone else but them, certainly on Ebay , which owns them, but have gone much farthur to assure any purchase you make, they will decide which direction it takes by using the simple outcome as to where they may earn the most money on that transaction. They are money moving devils.
They hide behind the scenes causing havoc to you and your accounts, and I shall explain here: I ordered a Kayak standing system from a firm in Florida. Their site allowed me to enter my credit card information plus showed that Paypal was accepted. I get Cabela's bucks from my Visa so I elected to buy this expensive system via credit card. It refused to accept my credit card, and said, I must validate the credit card. My card is good, and no problems with it.
What they wanted was for me to activate my card with their system. I do not want Paypal to have me credit card information. I feel if you might of thought Target had security problems , wait til you hear what Paypal has going on. It will make Target, etc. look like a mouse of the lion of security problems.
Now I want to order, Paypal says sorry you need to put a credit card in my system. I say I do not want to use you. I want to use my credit card directlly. Sorry you cannot. So I give them my credit card information. Instead of using that they take the money from my bank checking account, even after they said they would not do such. Now I get hit with an overdraft, where they will not make any restitution to me, and a mark on my great credit. These people are nothing but leeches ad have no real use in any credit transaction.
'Ebay wanted them because they changed their whole profile as to how they handle buyers and sellers. Why should the world be subjected to Paypal bullcrap????? They should be sued by a class action suit. Why did they not use my credit card you might ask? Because they make nothing off that transaction and make a ton of money off of direct bank deductions of my money. 'They pay no credit card company any points by doing that.
They are rip offs and should be stopped

I've only been there once so far, but when I was there, I saw LOTS of high quality dog toys and I found a good dog food there called Diamond. I didn't care for the other food they had there (Purina, Iams, etc, *bleck*), but it's no surpise that they had those foods. Great staff from what I saw. They also sell birds, fish, and small animals like guini pigs, which I didn't care for either, but at least they didn't sell puppies.

Saab Restarts Production & Still Promises Electric Model
December 4th, 2013 by Christopher DeMorro
Originally published on Gas2.
By Chris DeMorro.
Somehow, against all odds and good business sense, Saab has managed to stave off destruction and today the Swedish automaker restarted production of the 9-3 model. While initial vehicles are limited to gasoline engines, Saab has promised to introduce an all-electric model, which could be well situated given Scandinavia's fondness for electric cars.
Purchased by a Chinese firm known as National Electric Vehicle Sweden, or NEVS, Saab 9-3 production is restarting with an eye towards China. Swedish customers will still be able to buy a locally-built 9-3 via a website, but right now Saab is looking towards the Far East for salvation. Part of those future plans include an electric model, though there are few details to deliver right now.
The only way I see Saab making the 21st century transition is with an all-new, built-from-the-ground-up electric vehicle platform. Something like that would cost upwards of a billion dollars to build, so the more likely route is that NEVS is going to stuff an already-licensed EV drivetrain into the ancient 9-3 architecture, and the ending won't be good. That said, NEVS is right on schedule with its promised production schedule, so maybe they are as serious as they seem. That'd be a nice change of pace.
I have always had a soft spot for Saab, and I am genuinely wishing for the best with them. At the same time I've got to be realistic about their chances, and the odds just aren't that good that Saab will get the full-fledged investment it deserves. I hope I'm, wrong, but betting against Saab is still the safest bet you can make.

MONTEREY >> Youthful members of the National Association of Black Scuba Divers received a wet introduction to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary on Thursday, not principally for fun, but to contribute knowledge about a mysterious illness that is killing sea star fish.
"I saw a bat star that looked diseased, but also some healthy ones," said J' Darius Thomas, 17, from Atlanta.
Chelsea Prindle, education specialist with the marine sanctuary, said the organization hosted 25 youth ages 10 to 17 from across the country with the goal of developing future leaders in marine sciences. The sanctuary works under the federally-run National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
"Each year the (Black Scuba Divers) holds a youth summit and visits a different marine sanctuary," Prindle said. "This is their first time at Monterey Bay, and we've planned a weeklong summit for them. They're learning about the sanctuary and its ecosystems."
The program is a partnership between the sanctuary and the CSU Monterey Bay Camp Sea Lab program.
Prindle noted that six of the young students are already certified divers. She said the overall goal of the sanctuary is to protect and understand marine ecosystems.
Jimi Mack, an instructor with NABS and organizer of the group's 11th Youth Educational Summit, has been diving since 1995 and lives in Dallas. She said the young divers were experiencing Monterey kelp for the first time.
"Sea stars are wasting away and dying, and we're recording their number and observing their health," she said. "Something is causing sea stars to disintegrate."
Alexis Braden, 14, a ninth-grader from Tennessee, has already been diving for two years. She formerly took part in a coral restoration project on the East Coast and made dives in Texas at the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary.
She is currently working toward a master diver certification.
"I just love the beauty of the ocean," she said.
Scott Kathey, the sanctuary's federal regulatory coordinator, said everyone can contribute to ocean health by simply observing possible pollutants in the yard or street, the kind of things that might get sucked into drains and end up in the ocean. Oil from your car or dog feces on the ground are two possible contaminants.
"Water quality is paramount," Kathey said. "Be careful what you put on the land."
The students will spend a week in the Monterey area. They visited local tide pools and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and also monitored plankton health off the Santa Cruz Wharf. They also enjoyed whale watching and hiking. Friday, the group will visit Elkhorn Slough.
Aquarius Dive Shop supplied diving equipment and diver instructors for the project.
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary extends from Marin to Cambria and encompasses 276 miles of the Central Coast.

|Wicklow, Donald
|Poling, Stephen
Submitted to: Phytopathology
Publication Type: Peer Reviewed Journal
Publication Acceptance Date: 9/15/2008
Publication Date: 1/1/2009
Citation: Wicklow, D.T., Poling, S.M. 2009. Antimicrobial Activity of Pyrrocidines from Acremonium zeae against Endophytes and Pathogens of Maize. Phytopathology. 99:109-115. Interpretive Summary: Acremonium zeae is a type of fungus called an endophyte that is commonly isolated from healthy corn plants or corn kernels showing no visible symptoms of disease. Cultural tests have shown that this endophyte is antagonistic to Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides, both species of toxin-producing molds that cause substantial annual losses to the U.S. corn crop. Chemical studies revealed that the metabolites accounting for this activity were two newly reported antibiotics pyrrocidines A and B. There was a need to determine if other important fungal and bacterial pathogens and endophytes of corn are sensitive to pyrrocidines. Pyrrocidine A exhibited potent activity in bioassays against several major stalk and ear rot pathogens of corn. Protective fungal endophytes and mycoparasites which grow asymptomatically within healthy corn tissues, showed little sensitivity to pyrrocidines. Pyrrocidine A also exhibited potent activity against Clavibacter michiganense subsp. Nebraskense, causal agent of Goss's bacterial wilt of corn, as well as bacteria from corn being evaluated as biocontrol agents. The corn seed industry will benefit from the knowledge that Acremonium zeae can protect corn from virulent pathogens and thus represents a confounding variable impacting the results of corn varietal resistance trials against fungal or bacterial pathogens.
Technical Abstract: Acremonium zeae produces pyrrocidines A and B, polyketide-amino acid-derived antibiotics, and is recognized as a seed-borne protective endophyte of maize which augments host defenses against microbial pathogens causing seedling blights and stalk rots. Pyrrocidine A displayed significant in vitro activity against Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides in assays performed using conidia as inoculum, with pyrrocidine A being more active than B. In equivalent assays performed with conidia and/or hyphal cells as inoculum, pyrrocidine A revealed potent activity against major stalk and ear rot pathogens of maize Fusarium graminearum, Nigrospora oryzae, Stenocarpella (Diplodia) maydis, Rhizoctonia zeae and kernel rotting fungal pathogens A. flavus, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium cladosporioides. Protective endophytes, including mycoparasites which grow asymptomatically within healthy maize tissues, show little sensitivity to pyrrocidines. Pyrrocidine A also exhibited potent activity against Clavibacter michiganense subsp. Nebraskense, causal agent of Goss's bacterial wilt of maize, Bacillus mojaviense and Pseudomonas fluorescens, maize endophytes applied as biocontrol agents, but was ineffective against the wilt- producing bacterium, Pantoea stewartii. A. zeae is recognized as a potential confounding variable in maize variety trials for resistance to pathogenic microbes and their mycotoxins.

In conjunction with the 2008–9 exhibition Beyond Babylon: Art, Trade, and Diplomacy in the Second Millennium B.C. at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, a series of lectures brought together major international scholars in a variety of fields concerned with the worlds of the Near East and the eastern Mediterranean in the middle and late Bronze Ages. Interconnections among these rich and complex civilizations extending from Mesopotamia to the Mediterranean were developed in detail, ranging from reports of new archaeological discoveries and insightful art historical interpretations of material culture, to innovative investigations of literary, historical, and political aspects of interactions among these great powers. This symposium volume, containing twenty-eight essays, is an ideal companion to the exhibition catalogue, providing compelling overviews of the ancient Near Eastern and eastern Mediterranean cultures during this period that are both broad and deep in their range.

The day we flew to Malta we had a bit of extra time before our late afternoon flight so we opted to visit a blockbuster Tunis attraction, the Bardo Museum. I realize you probably have never heard of the place...neither had I until I saw it in the guidebook. The Bardo is probably the finest collection of ancient mosaics in the word, and they are all from archeological sites around Tunisia. Tunisia is where the ancient kingdom of Carthage was located. Remember Carthage from your history class: Hannibal and the elephant army, the Punic Wars, Romans flattening the city and salting its fields, etc. After the defeat of Carthage in 146 BC, the Romans made the area a province and called it a familiar word: Africa. It became a major source of wheat for the empire and a number of wealthy Roman cities grew here. The Bardo Museum has hundreds of mosaics that originally decorated floors in both Punic and Roman villas, baths, and public buildings built during this time
I have always been drawn to Roman mosaics and seek them out at museums. The Roman artists created such vivid and finely crafted depictions that many times you'd think you were seeing a painting rather than stone. Many of the scenes Romans illustrated were of regular people doing typical daily activities. Maybe that's why I like them so much, normally when seeing ancient art all you see is gods and goddesses and the occasional emperor or king. The Romans often celebrated individuals and the everyday in their mosaics. I was like a kid in a candy store.
She Said:
After another night at a nice hotel, I was feeling pretty clean, rested and relaxed. You can't underestimate this feeling - especially the clean part. The Bardo Museum was very interesting, and Todd was all about it. Mosaics are fun to look at, but after a while, they all start looking the same to me. Needless to say, I was looking forward to Malta for several reasons: English, "regular food," and beach resort.
Our closing comments and observations on Tunisia.
We did not use the public transportation network in Tunisia, but it looked fairly straightforward and efficient. We rented a car one day and it was very expensive, but the roads were very good and fellow drivers fairly courteous
Understanding French will help you a lot! Unlike Morocco, most people (except hotel clerks) do not speak any English.
It is more expensive than Morocco but still a much cheaper than the US or Europe.
In our experience, the Tunisian people were very friendly and quite hospitable in every way. We never felt threatened, harassed, or cheated (except by cabbies).
Tunisia hardly seems like a Muslim nation. Alcohol is sold everywhere, very few women are in full veil, and most people dress as if they were in Europe. It is clearly much less conservative than Morocco.
Tunis is quite westernized; it has shopping malls, modern hotels, and all trappings of a big city. Many parts of the country are quite rural but we did not have time to see them.
There are a great number of really interesting sites we did not have time to visit as well as a few really cute beach towns we drove through. Tunisia is a place we would really like to come back to in the not-too-distant future.
A few cardinal rules we have learned (or had reinforced) so far on this trip:
1) Be very hesitant to trust a cabbie or give them the benefit of the doubt, especially if they are at an airport!!! Even though we are pretty cab-savvy, of the 14 cabs we have taken so far, we have been overcharged, shortchanged, or had meter-issues in 6 of them. That's almost 50% of the time!!! Just as a caveat, the grand total we were overcharged probably amounts to less than $15.00, but it's the principle!!!
2) Always arrive at the airport AT LEAST 3 hours before your flight. Check-in and passport control in some of these places is so unpredictable that even with 3 hours lead time we have occasionally been rushed.

So excited, I can't even wait! So many nights last year, nothing at all happened. But then other nights, the drama was palpable! Remember everyone getting to watch Daniele shiver and cry in the cold 'rain' as she battled it out on BBAD against Dick and Zach for the final HoH? Dick burning Jen with the cigarette as it cuts abruptly to commercial? Classic shit!
Also, the last line of this press release confirms that it will be a full three month season... not just a six week season as was rumored before. Sweetness!
Here's the press release...
Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive live three hour feed of the first winter edition of the CBS hit reality series BIG BROTHER starting Tuesday, February 12th at 12:00 AM ET/PT on SHO2
LOS ANGELES, CA – (January 8, 2008) – CBS and Showtime will once again partner to bring viewers Big Brother: After Dark, an exclusive, live televised look inside the BIG BROTHER house after the network prime-time cameras have been turned off. Big Brother: After Dark will feature a live television feed from the "Big Brother" house for three hours (12:00–3:00 AM, ET/PT), seven days a week, on the cable network's SHO2 multiplex channel beginning Tuesday, February 12th at 12:00 AM ET/PT. The announcement was made today by Robert Greenblatt, President of Entertainment, Showtime Networks Inc.
"Big Brother: After Dark was a big success for us at bringing an audience to very late night time periods on SHO2. This began as an experiment with our friends at Endemol and CBS, and I'm happy that it worked so well for all of us," said Greenblatt. "I'm amazed at how much curiosity there is about what goes on in the Big Brother house after the lights are out, but what better place to present that than on SHOWTIME where we have a lot of on-air real estate in the wee hours of the morning."
The first winter edition of BIG BROTHER will premiere on CBS Tuesday, February 12th and air every Tuesday at 9:00 PM ET/PT, Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET/PT and Sunday at 8:00 PM ET/PT. The series follows the relationships and conflicts of players who live together in a house outfitted with dozens of cameras and microphones recording their every move 24 hours a day. One by one, the houseguests will vote each other out of the house. At the end of three months, the last remaining houseguest will receive the grand prize.

Linn State Technical College Drug Testing Program Remains on Hold
Posted by Drug Free in Drug Testing on October 31, 2011
U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey in Jefferson County has issued an extension of the temporary restraining order on the implementation of a comprehensive drug testing plan in Linn State Technical College in Missouri.
The drug testing program, which has been challenged by a lawsuit filed by the American Civil Liberties Union last month, was supposed to screen all first-year students and some returnees for possible use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamines, as well as prescription medications like oxycodone and eight other types of drugs.
Linn Tech initiated the drug testing program to be implemented in all of their campuses in the towns of Jefferson City, Linn, and Mexico. The lawsuit stated that the proposed plan violates the students' Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful searches and seizures.
Kent Brown, who represents Linn College, has confirmed that the board will set a meeting soon to address the said ruling.
Jason Williams, who represents ACLU, said that even Judge Laughrey did not believe that the drug policy would be eventually passed. "She had some pretty clear things to say about the problems with Linn State's proposed program," Williamson said. "I think they'd have to put on some extraordinary additional evidence to change her mind."
Linn Tech said that the drug testing program will help ensure the safety of students who may be involved in programs such as aircraft maintenance, nuclear technology, heavy engine repair, and other critical tasks.
Teen Discovered Captive at Marijuana Operation
Posted by Drug Free in Marijuana Use and Abuse on October 30, 2011
When Baker County Florida authorities conducted an operation in one mobile home, they found more than 100 marijuana plants cultivated illegally, and a chained teen in a room where the drug bust was done.
Authorities arrested 29-year-old Troy Howell of Crews Road for marijuana cultivation at his home and for aggravated child abuse for holding captive his 18-year-old nephew.
The suspect chained his nephew to prevent him from informing the authorities about his marijuana plants.
"Troy had basically tied a chain to the axle of the trailer and ran it under the floor and actually tied him [the teen] up around the neck in his bedroom there," Dobson said.
Examination of the abused teen showed that he also had distinctive marks around his neck, on his head and shoulders, and even on his back.
Two other teens live with Howell — his 13-year-old niece, who informed officials at Baker County Middle School about the marijuana cultivation, and his 15-year-old nephew.
After the operation, 100 fresh marijuana plants and 15 pounds of processed pot were accounted and confiscated from Howell's mobile home as confirmed by Sheriff Joey Dobson. They also found other indoor equipment and lights which may have been used in the cultivation of marijuana.
Alcohol Poisoned Amy Winehouse to Death
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse on October 29, 2011
A coroner's report has finally shed light on British singer Amy Winehouse's cause of death. According to the findings released, Winehouse had alcohol in her system which was five times more than the legal limit set for driving when she died.
The singer was found dead on July 23 at her home in London. She lived the last few of her 27 years with constant warnings about her drugs and alcohol addiction.
During the time of Amy's death, her blood-alcohol was high up because she drank heavily after abstaining for three weeks, thus resulting to alcohol poisoning that claimed her life.
The legal drink-drive limit is at 80mg, but Winehouse had 416mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. There were three empty bottles of vodka recovered in her home during police investigation.
Coroner Suzanne Greenway stated that the singer died due to the sudden and massive amount of alcohol that she took the day she died. "She had consumed sufficient alcohol at 416mg per decilitre (of blood) and the unintended consequence of such potentially fatal levels was her sudden and unexpected death."
Winehouse's doctor Christina Romete said that she had repeatedly warned the singer about the consequences of her actions. "The advice I had given to Amy over a long period of time was verbal and in written form about all the effects alcohol can have on the system, including respiratory depression and death, heart problems, fertility problems and liver problems," she said.
Lindsay Lohan to Appear in Playboy; Father Michael Gets Arrested
Posted by Drug Free in Alcohol Abuse, Drug Addiction, Drug Rehabilitation on October 28, 2011
Reports say that Lindsay Lohan will be appearing in Hugh Hefner's famous magazine, Playboy. LiLo's Playboy pictorial is said to take place this week somewhere in Los Angeles.
Representatives from both the magazine's and Lohan's camp have yet to release a comment on the news, but it looks like LiLo will be taking her clothes off for the popular men's mag.
Playboy allegedly offered Lohan $750,000, but the actress's camp wanted a million. They reportedly agreed somewhere in between the two amounts.
While waiting for her date with Playboy, Lohan will continue her community service at the Los Angeles Coroner's Office which she has started last Friday. Lohan is expected to fulfill 16 hours of duty and will have to appear in court on November 2nd.
Meanwhile, Lindsay's also-controversial father Michael Lohan has been arrested in Tampa, Florida for domestic violence.
Police responded to a distress call from Michael's home, and he was later arrested for physically hurting his live-in partner. But as police took him into custody, Lindsay's dad complained of chest pains and was taken to a hospital. After checking out from the facility, he was placed under arrest.
Earlier in March, the 51-year-old Lohan was also arrested for the same violation in Los Angeles. He was charged with one misdemeanor count of corporal injury to a cohabitant.
Lindsay and her dad are still on a strained relationship, but they both took a stint at the Betty Ford Center for family counseling while she was undergoing treatment.
Defense Says King of Pop Designed His Own Death
Posted by Drug Free in Drug Addiction, Prescription Drug Abuse on October 27, 2011
On Monday, the defense team for the Jackson case started their argument by saying that the King of Pop created scenarios that led to his own death, taking intravenous drugs to cure his insomnia despite stiff warnings from his doctors.
The defense team presented testimonies from a doctor and a nurse practitioner, and a number of witnesses all claiming that the singer demanded the drug that eventually killed him. They say Michael has been sick for the last 15 years, and that during the last few months of his life, he asked for intravenous medication to be administered to him, in his case, an anesthetic known as propofol.
Jackson's friend and doctor Allan Metzger was called into the witness stand. He was with Michael for the last two years of his life, and told the court that he constantly reminded and warned the singer of the dangers of the anesthetic, and that he never administered the drug to him as sleeping aide.
Dr. Metzger further explained that in 2009, the pop star asked about intravenous sleep medications and mentioned a drug, which the star later on referred to as "juice." He prescribed oral medication but Jackson did not believe any of them would work.
The nurse practitioner, Cherilyn Lee, admitted that she treated Jackson with vitamin infusions that made him feel better. To show his gratitude, Jackson invited her to London with him to join him in his concert tour. When his sleeping problems came back, Lee advised the pop star to undergo sleep study, and in mid-2009, before he was put under Murray's care, Michael asked her to watch him sleep.
The singer was able to sleep, but after five hours he awoke and was upset.
"He said, 'You see, I can't stay asleep,'" she said.
The defense will continue their case to prove that Dr. Conrad Murray did not cause the singer's death by giving him a lethal dose of propofol, despite allegations that he violated ethical guidelines of his profession in exchange for money.
The Story of a Teen's Over-the-Counter Drug Abuse
Posted by Drug Free in Prescription Drug Abuse on October 26, 2011
A teenager shares her story of OTC drug addiction, specifically with cough syrups, which she hid from her family for the longest time.
Kristin, now 18, got her first taste of over-the-counter cough medications when she was about 15 or 16 years old. She admits that during those times, she had personal issues that needed to addressed.
Television became her source of information on the effects of cough medications. In the beginning, she took out a bottle from their medicine cabinet and drank all of its content. She felt so drunk after and then she began taking the drug on a regular basis for at least twice a week.
At a point when she was using the drug more often, she had to buy the item herself, and there were times when pharmacies refused to sell the medication to her due to her age. She was still able to get hold of the drug by having older people buy it for her.
Her high school friends did not know anything about her addiction. She found other students who were on the same situation she was in. She made friends with them and they were the ones who introduced other types of drugs and alcohol to her system. By this time, she leveled up to OxyContin and morphine pills.
Her studies suffered and things started to take a bad turn. From being a straight-A student, she was now hardly making it to the cut. Still, she kept everything from her parents.
Her family knew of her addiction when she finally got arrested. She stole something from her teacher and the teacher called the cops. She eventually told her parents she was hooked for years, and they were surprised that they did not know anything about it.
Today, Kristin is under the Lexington Center for Recovery for treatment. Kristin says, "It's hard, but you gotta do what you gotta do. I wish that I had never started in the first place because when you do, once is never enough. It's not worth it. You're just going to end up dying or in jail."
