With Age, Fat Creeps Up As Body "Idles" More Slowly
Older men, compared to younger counterparts, burn fewer calories after overeating, ARS researchers have discovered. The finding helps explain why body fat creeps up in older men—and why taking a walk after dinner gets smarter as life goes on. Normally, when a person overeats, the body seeks to restore a balance. So, as a car that idles faster burns more gas, the body burns more excess calories by turning up the RPM's of its resting metabolic rate. This rate is the energy spent to keep the resting body functioning. The researchers fed two small groups of men an extra 1,000 calories a day for 3 weeks. One group was in their 60's and 70's; the other, in their 20's. Because of a milder speedup in metabolism, the older men hung on to an estimated 87 extra calories daily, on average, that was stored as fat. This seems trivial, but it adds up: 2.2 pounds a year, or 22 pounds per decade.

Genes of Tobacco Cousin May Be Biotech Pest-Fighters
Wild tobacco possesses a natural defense that tomatoes, cotton, and other crops might be able to use. With the right genes from Nicotiana gossei, crop plants might make the same chemicals this wild plant manufactures to kill silverleaf whiteflies and other leaf-feeding pests. N. gossei, an Australian cousin of commercial tobacco, turns out several of the chemicals, including sucrose esters. The esters have killed whiteflies, aphids, spider mites, pear psyllas, and tobacco hornworms in ARS lab and field tests. Scientists now seek to identify and isolate the genes responsible.

Red Mulch for Hotter Yields
Sonoco Products, Inc., of Hartsville, South Carolina, and ARS scientists are testing colored plastic mulches as yield-boosters for tomatoes and other crops. Sonoco earlier produced a red plastic mulch based on an ARS formula. The mulch is sold by Ken-Bar, Inc., of Reading, Massachusetts. ARS scientists found out why red mulch stimulates plant growth more than black mulch. Light waves reflected by the red make the plant respond as if it's being crowded. It puts more energy into above-ground growth, including fruit. Under a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA), scientists are testing red plastic mulch on tomatoes, strawberries, peppers, and other crops in Colorado, Kentucky, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina.

Enzyme Blocker May Help Tame Whipworms
The swine whipworm, Trichuris suis, makes an enzyme that could be its own undoing. This parasite is sometimes fatal to pigs. But ARS research indicates that the enzyme, a thiol protease, plays a role in the worm's ability to digest and absorb nutrients. Blocking the enzyme's action with a chemical could be a way to improve control. The worms form lesions in the intestinal lining of a pig, which lets bacteria invade underlying tissues. With commercially available worming medicines, control over the worms is sometimes incomplete. Infected pigs suffer weight loss, anemia, and diarrhea.

Cups and Plates Made From Wheat
Biodegradable containers made with wheat starch are being developed by ARS scientists and Tenneco Packaging, Inc., of Canandaigua, New York. Under a CRADA, scientists will investigate methods for processing the starch. Then, equipment now used to make food and beverage containers from plastic might produce starch-derived substitutes. This could create a new market for wheat starch.

In an excellent piece in Bright Lights Film Journal, Alan Vanneman asks if Words and Music is "An Unsung Masterpiece?" The short answer is no. What it may be, however, is the ultimate drug for musical purists, those souls who genuinely do not care about plot, dialogue or any other kind of connective tissue in a musical, but instead jump from number to number. When the numbers are from Rodgers and Hart, this has its definite advantages. Along with the Gershwins, this is the team whose songs always stop the Siren in her tracks. There were others equally as fine--Porter, Berlin, Kern, oh yes--but none to surpass.
The usual knock on Words and Music involves the phrase "sanitized biopic." Why yes, the movie does neglect to mention that Lorenz Hart, tormented genius, was tormented in part because he was gay. But it isn't as though gay themes were cropping up in a number of other movies that year, and Hart alone got his subplot scrubbed. Here's the Hart biographical stuff that does make it into the movie: his alcoholism, his unreliability, his self-hatred, his feelings of ugliness, his shortness (he's played by Mickey Rooney) and his doomed attempt to get a Broadway chanteuse to marry him. All true. Even an episode toward the end, where a drunken Rooney reels around the rainy streets of Manhattan after one final opening night and catches his death, amazingly happened in a very similar way. (Although the Siren hopes that Hart did not finally collapse in front of a store selling elevator shoes, as poor Rooney is made to do here.)
Compare this total score for accuracy to Song of Scheherazade, where the filmmakers got two things right: Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov was Russian, and he composed "Scheherazade."
As for the airbrushed gay theme--the Siren thinks there are signals for the hep, as much as could be under Joe Breen's watchful eye. Check out Hart's overly dependent relationship with his mother (ah, shades of Christmas Holiday) and the singer's delicate references to gosh, just something about Hart that keeps her from marrying him.
Complaining that any MGM movie is sanitized is like yelling at Lassie for shedding. Of course it's sanitized, that's what MGM did. They took life and made it shinier. This is the studio that built a Hall of Mirrors set twice as big as the Versailles original. The real problem with the frame story is that Hart, even played by Puck, is a huge downer, only fleetingly portrayed as the witty life of the party that Hart's real-life friends remembered. The quiet, rather stuffy Richard Rodgers ("Boy Next Door" Tom Drake), robbed by the script of his legendary taste for chorus girls, can't sustain a role as a foil. Perhaps most composers and lyricists just aren't great subjects for biopics, unless they eventually went deaf or crazy.
But anyway, who in their right mind would watch this for the biographical drama? What you should want, and what you get, is Technicolor, great singing, and Robert Alton's choreography, supplemented with Gene Kelly's magnificent "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" , the best dancing the luscious Vera-Ellen ever got to put on film.
What's that? You prefer Cyd Charisse? She's in there too, looking lovely in "On Your Toes" and spinning like a top to "Blue Room."
The Siren loves "Where or When," sung by Lena Horne. There is a melancholy feel to most Rodgers and Hart songs that is easy to overemphasize. Many singers opt for a happy surface with a tear-stained underpinning. Here, Lena flips that, the yearning right out on top, but a certain brightness underneath.
Then notice how Judy Garland takes the complicated and rather strange lyrics to "Johnny One-Note" and renders them clear as rainwater. How much does the Siren miss enunciation...
He may not be a convincing Hart, but Mickey Rooney has some great moments, too. He was one of those triple-threat entertainers who, as Pauline Kael once said about Liza Minnelli, are electrifying when all they need to be is charming. Instead of drawing a performance out of Rooney, a good director (which Norman Taurog pretty much wasn't) had to put a visor on the camera and tone him down a bit. Rooney's Words and Music scenes go back and forth between delightful and way-too-much, but his joyful, no-frills rendition of "I'll Take Manhattan" is perfect, a summary of everything that was best about him as a musical performer. And his duet with Garland (the last they ever did together), "I Wish I Were in Love Again," is almost as good.
Then you see Rooney during Mel Torme's superb rendition of "Blue Moon," doing a depressed drunk act and still managing to mug, and you realize that even if he had magically grown several inches, he was never going to fit in with the socially conscious 1950s, not even in the artier Freed-unit musicals that lay ahead.
There are many other numbers in Words and Music, including this one
which, the Siren is happy to report, is the perfect length for going down to the kitchen and whipping up a sandwich. (It isn't just June Allyson, the Siren can't stand "Thou Swell," finding it strained and cutesy in a way that Hart usually avoided.)
Ann Sothern gets a production number ("Where's That Rainbow?") that Vanneman didn't much care for, but the Siren adores it, mostly for the dancing boys behind Ann. Robert Alton was famous for individualizing the chorus--instead of a kaleidescope of identically clad, synchronized movement, his dancers stand out one by one even while they are backing the main singer. (This biographical entry reads that characteristic as "queer," an interpretation that the Siren found fascinating, although not completely convincing.)
Which brings the Siren to her favorite number, "Mountain Greenery," with a jaw-droppingly young Perry Como and a lovely dancer named Allyn McLerie. (Twenty years later, a very different kind of dancing would cause McLerie to bug out in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?) The lyrics are almost goofy, but the dancers and Como put it across with such utter, fetching sincerity that the Siren is charmed every time. To me, the dancers and singers twirling around to "down with noise and clutter, up with milk and butter " are, like the rest of Words and Music, just so utterly MGM, another step on the road to the perfection of The Band Wagon and Singin' in the Rain.

"I do solemnly swear to be a he-man and hate women..."
Description: Spanky (Travis Tedford) and Stymie (Kevin Jamal Woods) lead the rest of the male members of the Little Rascals gang in a pledge to affirm their dislike of girls ("No Girls Allowed!") in the motion picture The Little Rascals (1994).
"I do solemnly swear to be a he-man and hate women and not play with them or talk to them unless I have to. And especially: never fall in love, and if I do may I die slowly and painfully and suffer for hours - or until I scream bloody murder."
"We, the He-Man Woman-Haters Club, promise not to fall for this Valentine business, because girls are the bunk!"
|[Delivering Alfalfa's letter to Darla]
|Dear Darla, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You're scum between my toes! Love, Alfalfa.
|The Rascals:
|[singing] We are he-man woman haters/ We feed girls to alligators/ Our clubhouse burned down mighty low/ But we've got a plan to make some dough!
|[singing, as he jogs with Porky to the race] We're goin' to the race, we're gonna win first place, and you have an ugly face!
|Howdy, Mister. Me and my buddies have to build a new clubhouse.
|We have to buy some lumber.
|Lumber Clerk:
|What kind?
Note: The Little Rascals (1994) is based on the 1930s Hal Roach "Our Gang" film shorts. The Our Gang Comedies were repackaged as The Little Rascals in the 1950s when they were syndicated for television.
Their He-Man Women Haters club first appeared in Hearts Are Thumps (1937), and then again in Mail and Female (1937). The club returned in the 1982 animated series on the episode "Beauty Queen for a Day."
In the cartoon, Spanky and the gang, who live in the town of Greenpoint, refuse to allow Darla Hood into their treehouse. The treehouse initiation reads:
"Do you promise never to trade your bubble gum card with a girl? Never lend your best fishing worms to a girl? And never let a girl carry your books home from school?"
In 1934, The Three Stooges (Moe, Larry and Curly) appeared in a film short called "Woman Haters," in which they appeared as traveling salesman who join a Woman Haters club and swear to never romance another woman ever again.

Religion and Science: A Beautiful Friendship? HTML version
price of crashing a piloted plane. Today, flight can be simulated on computers by representing both the
airplane and the atmosphere in a mathematical model.
Grand unifying models are the holy gra il of every branch of science. In biology, Darwin's theory of
evolution by natural selection is such a model. In chemistry, it's Mendeleyev's periodic table of the
elements. In geology, the theory of plate tectonics accounts for the earth's princ ipa l geological features.
Physicists are searching for a "theory of everything" (often abbreviated TOE) that, as Leon Lederman, a
Nobel laureate in physics (5), picturesque ly puts it, would "explain the entire universe in a single, simple
formula that you can wear on your T-shirt." One of these models is called string theory (6). Like all
theories and mode ls, string theory will ultimate ly live or die depending on whether its implications agree
with observations.
Though much of science consists of building mode ls, the use of models is hardly limited to science.
Indeed, normative, prescriptive social mode ls predate by millennia the descriptive and predictive nature
mode ls mentioned above. Beginning in the distant past, cultural codes of conduct—for example, the Ten
Commandments—were used to regulate family and tribal re lationships. Other examples of socio-political
mode ls inc lude the theologies of religious institutions, organizationa l charts of universities, by-laws of
corporations, and nationa l constitutions.
Entrepreneurs and the venture capitalists who invest in their companies are guided by hypothetical
plans—that is, models—that delineate scenarios based on various economic assumptions to chart a path to
profitability. The governance models of nation-states range from the divine right of kings to fascism,
communism, constitutiona l monarchies, and many sub-species of democracy. Sometimes users of social
mode ls actually lose sight of the difference between their models and reality. As Alan Greenspan, former
Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank, warns: "A surprising problem is that a number of economists are
not able to distinguish between the models we construct and the real world" (7).
When we see parents, heroes, public figures, and fictional characters as "role models," we're using
behaviora l models to shape our own character.
In summation, models are descriptive or prescriptive representations of the world and ourse lves. Their
functions include providing us with an identity, shaping our behavior, maintaining soc ial order, and
guiding our use of power. Modeling has made humans what we are and our success as a species depends
on learning to use them wisely.
Know you what it is to be a child? … it is to believe in belief….

We don't forget our first ah-ha experience any more than we forget our first kiss. The difference is we
have some idea of what to expect from a kiss, but we don't know what to make of an enlightening
inc ident. The experience lingers in memory as something special, but since we can't account for it, we're
apt to keep it to ourselves.
Only in my thirties did I realize that an experience I'd had in my teens was the analogue of that first kiss.
About six years after discovering that our third grade science book contained mistakes, it struck me that
anything could be wrong. There were no infallible truths, no ultimate explanations.
In high school we were learning that science theories and models were not to be regarded as absolute
truths, but rather taken to be useful descriptions that might someday be replaced with better ones. I
accepted this way of holding scientific truth—it didn't seem to undercut its usefulness. But I still wanted

Europe's Privacy Cops
Germany's data police, the Datenschutz, considers itself a kind of anti-Gestapo. Whereas Hitler's secret police used files on German citizens as tools of terror and control, the Datenschutz protects people's personal data. Inspectors trek from Berlin to Sioux City, S.D., to Citigroup's giant data-processing center, where computers store financial information about millions of German credit-card holders. The Germans, says Stefan Walz, a Datenschutz commissioner, pay regular visits "to make sure that the data are being handled according to [German] law."
Citi accepted the supervision four years ago in return for permission to market a credit card in Germany. But soon, U.S. companies could be dealing with Europe's privacy inspectors whether they've bargained for it or not. On Oct. 25, when the European Union Directive on Data Protection goes into effect, commissioners in Brussels will have the legal tools to prosecute companies and block Web sites that fail to live up to Europe's exacting standards on data privacy.
The directive, which was negotiated among the EU governments over six years, guarantees European citizens absolute control over data concerning them. If a company wants personal information, it must get that person's permission and explain what the information will be used for. It must also promise not to use it for anything else without the citizen's consent. A company selling birdseed, for example, can't use its mailing list to hawk Audubon calendars. Citizens have the right to know where information about them came from, to demand to see it, to correct it if wrong, and to delete it if objectionable. And they have a right to file suits against any person or company they feel is misusing their data.
One piece of the law is particularly stringent. Article 29 demands that foreign governments provide data protections every bit as rigorous as Europe's, under a similar regulatory structure. Those that fail, the EU warns, could find their data flows with Europe, the world's largest economy, outlawed.
EU officials maintain that they would target certain companies or industries, not entire nations. Yet the new directive marks the first concerted initiative of a united Europe to dictate its norms to the rest of the world. It also takes Europe's regulatory reach into the vital organs of the Information Economy--computer databases and the Internet. "A global system requires global regulations," says Walz.
The question is whether governments outside Europe will stand for the law. As the global leader in online business, the U.S. is a particular target of the directive. So Washington finds itself negotiating on behalf of the entire non-European world.
At the root of the battle is a philosophical chasm nearly as wide as the Atlantic. Europeans look to democratic regimes to protect their privacy. Americans, meanwhile, tend at first to leave information flows unregulated. Later, they slap controls on objectionable areas, such as child pornography on the Web. "In Europe, people don't trust companies, they trust government," says Emanuel Kohnstamm, a Time Warner Inc. vice-president in Brussels. "In the U.S., it's the opposite way around: Citizens must be protected from actions of the government."
"BALKANIZATION." Data exchange, already a critical issue for business, is a key to marketers' global ambitions. Their plan is to plumb databases of buying patterns, develop thousands of detailed customer profiles, and then hit buyers with finely tuned pitches--preferably online. This targeting is at the heart of E-commerce, an industry that totals only $32 billion in annual sales now but is expected to reach $425 billion within four years, according to International Data Corp. Execs on both sides of the Atlantic fret that it could be throttled in its cradle by zealous regulators. "This could mean the Balkanization of E-commerce," warns John E. Frank, European legal counsel for Microsoft Corp.
Europeans respond that E-commerce can't grow without consumer confidence. Only a fearless or foolish consumer, they say, would venture into unregulated digital malls. Europeans abhor the American habit of planting "cookies," the data tags that hook into a log-in name, track the Web sites it has explored, and send back consumer profiles. They are outraged that U.S. prosecutors and insurers use the Web to unearth facts that people would rather keep to themselves. Brussels claims it can protect Europeans from such intrusions.
As Oct. 25 approaches, negotiators in Brussels and Washington are working to reach a practical compromise. The Europeans have dropped demands for a new privacy department in Washington. And the U.S. team, led by Commerce Under Secretary David L. Aaron, is proposing a self-regulation scheme that has the backing of blue-chip companies from Procter & Gamble Co. to Microsoft. Companies would certify before a nongovernmental privacy group that they are meeting European standards on data management, much as companies worldwide meet European industrial-quality standards with the ISO 9000 certification.
The betting now is that Americans will offer at least enough to forestall a rash of European legal actions this fall. "We won't shut off the general flow of data," says one European Commission official in Brussels. "We will judge on a case-by-case basis and bring suit if necessary."
But even as EU officials promise restraint, privacy activists in Europe are preparing to go after U.S. companies that violate the new directive. Privacy International, a London-based advocacy group, says it is investigating privacy practices at 25 leading U.S. companies, including Electronic Data Systems, Ford, Hilton International, Microsoft, and United Airlines, and vows to sue alleged offenders in January. That would force EU regulators to take legal action, too. For their part, the target companies say they are hurrying to meet Europe's new privacy requirements.
That has created opportunities for software makers and other high-tech companies. Microsoft, for example, is developing programs to quiz consumers, through a series of pop-up menus and mouse clicks, about what products or services they want and how much data they're willing to share. NCR Corp., a major producer of data-storage software, is marketing a host of new products to meet privacy needs, allowing companies to juggle digital warehouses of consumer data. For example, a user would have access to personal information for benign purposes, such as anonymous market surveys. But the same user could not access that data to launch a direct-mail campaign for a new product--unless consumers had given the O.K. for such pitches.
PRICEY RETOOL. Companies that rely on cross-selling are scrambling to comply with the new rules. Airlines, for example, pitch their first-class passengers everything from limousine rentals to bargains on luxury suites. Now, such cross-marketing is forbidden without the customer's consent. British Airways PLC has been revamping its software to ask questions the right way--explaining to customers why it wants birth dates (to distinguish one John Smith from another) and nationalities (to whisk people through immigration). "We haven't even put a cost on that yet," says BA data-operations executive Tricia Ade.
It may seem ironic that Europe, which is playing catch-up in the entire digital arena, from personal computers to E-commerce, has taken the lead in policing data on the Internet. But privacy is a burning issue of the New Economy and one that cries out for regulation. The question is whether together, Europe's regulators and America's free marketeers can devise a scheme to patrol the Net without dragging it down.

policy, planning, scheduling, processes, or project management. Assuming noninterference at the project level, you can successfully perform CM on the product in an environment devoid of formal CM constructs. It is possible to produce widget Y on the December 15 target with all requirements satisfied.
In scenario C, I can't help but point out the fact that widget Y is presented as a standalone effort. Had there been a widget V-W-Z into which widget Y needed to fit, success would be difficult without good project management and interdependent CM like what we find in a configuration control board (CCB). Just imagine if you went forward with widget Y without regard for modifications in the preceding and succeeding builds!
Therefore, I recommend that we straddle the fence between product and project CM. Don't let poor or absent CM at the project level stifle your ability to perform "the CM way" at the product level. However, realize that product efforts occurring in environments that nurture CM will invariably nurture the product underway, potentially leading to a healthier product. Once the environment is in place, the product CM can begin. [When planning for a CM product, I ensure that I have addressed all tenets of CM through contributions to a project plan, usually drafted by the chief engineer. In fact, because our organization's program-level policy requires the inclusion of CM content as part of the project plan format, no project gets approval without my planning sections.] With a project plan, the team knows the scope of the project, the timeline, the inputs, the expected product, and where to initiate CM activities in each lifecycle phase.

Tequila-Soaked Watermelon Wedges
This grown-up fruit dessert borrows flavors from margaritas. Tequila and Triple Sec infuse the watermelon slices, which also get a spray of lime juice and a sprinkling of coarse salt. The longer the watermelon soaks, the more flavorful it becomes -- one more reason to save any leftover slices.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, July 2009
- 1 small seedless watermelon, red or yellow, quartered and cut into 1-inch-thick wedges
- 1 cup sugar
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup tequila
- 1/4 cup Triple Sec
- 2 limes, halved or cut into wedges
- Flaked sea salt or coarse salt
Arrange watermelon in a single layer in two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes. Bring sugar, water, tequila, and Triple Sec to a boil in a small saucepan. Cook, stirring, until sugar dissolves, about 1 minute. Let cool slightly. Pour syrup over watermelon wedges, and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
Remove watermelon from syrup, and arrange on a platter. Squeeze limes over melon, and season with salt.

The bus ride was well worth doing in daylight. The raod follows the Santa River from the coast, where it is a wide fertile valley, to deep canyons less than 100 feet wide. Even Bill the Fearless said WHOA a few times.
Fortunately, the scenery provided ample distraction. While the area is incredibly arid, the valley is utterly transformed by irrigation into lush fields. However, as the valley narrowed, settlements dwindled to an occasional family eeking out a living on a bend in the river, a vicarious position between the turbulent water and towering scree slopes above. Further still, we saw a couple mining and hydroelectric projects, and the small settlements that eek a living off such operations. It seemed like a lonely dusty existence in the windy rockscape.
But SUCH a rockscape. The geology was simply stunning in form and color.
As the canyon narrowed, so did the road. Despite the dizzying height and narrow passages in the upper reaches of the canyon, it actualy felt safer as the road was cut directly into the solid mountain wall, including a grand total of 45 tunnels!
We were pretty stiff puppies when we got off the bus, but hope to shake out the kinks as we head out to explore even higher reaches of the watershed!

Bruins shut out by Avalanche for first loss of season
|10.10.13 at 9:41 pm ET
After scoring in every game last season, the Bruins suffered their first loss of the 2013-14 season in the form of a Jean-Sebastien Giguere shutout and 2-0 Avalanche win. The loss dropped the B's to 2-1-0 on the season, while Patrick Roy is off to a 4-0-0 start in his first season as an NHL head coach.
The difference-maker came with 40 seconds remaining in the first period, when an Andre Benoit wrist shot from the point on the power play deflected off Ryan O'Reilly's stick and past Tuukka Rask. Matt Duchene added and empty-netter with 25.7 seconds left.
The Bruins weren't able to score on a 4-on-3 with under eight minutes to go on the game despite maintaining possession and keeping the pressure on Giguere, who gave the B's very little throughout the night as far as rebounds went.
– O'Reilly's goal was the first power play goal the Bruins have allowed this season. The good news for the Bruins' penalty kill is that it's still scored more goals (two) than it's allowed, as the B's scored two shorties in the season-opener last Thursday against the Lightning. On the season, the B's are 10-for-11 on the PK with a pair of goals.
– The Avalanche made out like bandits in a scrum in the final minute of the second period, as a pile of offsetting roughing penalties was topped with a Milan Lucic 10-minute misconduct for giving Gabriel Landeskog an extra shove.
With Lucic essentially out for the first half of the third period, Daniel Paille took the left wing shifts on the first line.
– Colorado seemed to get more clean looks at Rask than either the Lightning or the Red Wings. The B's certainly did a better job in the Detroit game of getting sticks on pucks around Rask's net, but the increased chances for Colorado didn't yield any more scoring.
– Loui Eriksson doesn't have a point through his first three games as a Bruin, and on Thursday he was called for a big no-no around these parts when he was sent off for embellishing a third-period hook by PA Parenteau.
– It was another strong game for the Bruins' third line, with the trio generating a number of scoring chances. Reilly Smith put in some hard work in the corners on a first-period shift in which he fed Chris Kelly at the right circle, only to see Kelly's shot clank off the post. A third-period play nearly saw Jordan Caron score his second goal of the season after toe-dragging around a laid-out Avalanche player, but Giguere was able to glove it.
– You certainly can't blame Rask for the loss, as he is off to a fine start thus far. Rask has allowed one goal in each of the Bruins' first three games and deserved a better fate on Thursday night.

Two new tests capable of rapidly diagnosing resistance to wide-spectrum antibiotics have just been developed by Inserm Unit 914 "Emerging resistances to antibiotics" (Bicêtre Hospital, Le Kremlin-Bicêtre) under the direction of Professor Patrice Nordmann. Thanks to these tests, it now takes only 2 hours to identify certain bacteria that are resistant to the most used and the most important antibiotics in hospitals. The main targeted bacteria are enterobacteriacae (such as E. Coli), that are responsible for infections. With their excellent sensitivity and specificity, the use of these extremely efficient tests on a world-wide scale would allow us to adapt antibiotic treatments to the individual's needs and to be more successful in controlling antibiotic resistance, particularly in hospitals.
These works were published in September in two international reviews: Emerging Infectious diseases and The Journal of Clinical Microbiology.
These diagnostic tests will allow rapid identification of certain bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics and hence: -- Allow us to better adapt the treatment to the infected patients -- Avoid the inappropriate use of certain antibiotics, thus avoiding the over-use of certain wide-spectrum antibiotics -- Isolate patients infected with these resistant bacteria and thus avoid the development of epidemics in hospitals
There is an ever-increasing number of emerging bacteria that cause cross-border epidemics. Researchers all agree on the fact that it is not the number of bacteria that is the problem, but their increasing resistance to antibiotics. The situation is particularly dramatic for certain species of bacteria, Gram-negative bacilli such as enterobacteriacae. (1)
A worrying situation both for banal infections and for major treatments
Whereas certain antibiotics such as wide-spectrum cephalosporins used to be reserved for the most serious cases, now there are cases where they are totally inactive against certain bacterial germs and consequently there is no effective antibiotic treatment for these. And so we are now faced with situations where the treatment of banal infection such as urinary or intra-abdominal infections has no effect. And this puts the life of the patients at risk. Every year, an estimated 25,000 deaths in Europe are due to multi-resistance to antibiotics.
Furthermore, the development of resistance to antibiotics affects an entire aspect of modern medicine that needs efficient antibiotics (grafts, transplants, major surgery, reanimation, etc.).
Undetected importation of multiresistant strains from foreign countries can also considerably accelerate the diffusion of this multiresistance phenomenon.
Two ultra-rapid tests: from Red to Yellow
In an attempt to slow down these increasing resistances, the Inserm researchers have developed a system that can rapidly detect the two enzymes responsible for causing resistance to the bacteria of two classes of common antibiotics: wide-spectrum cephalosprins and carpabenems. In these tests, the presence of an enzyme indicates the presence of a resistant bacteria.
These tests (Corba NP test and ESBL NDP test) are based on the acidification properties generated by the activity of the enzymes (ß-lactamases and carbapenemases) when they are in the presence of an antibiotic. If any one of these enzymes is present, the medium becomes acid and the acidity indicator (pH) turns from red to yellow.
At present, these tests can be performed using bacteria isolated from urine samples taken during a detected infection, or from bacteria present in stools. The result is obtained in less than 2 hours (compared to 24 to 72 hours using current techniques). These tests are highly sensitive and highly reliable (100%). They are totally inoffensive since they are carried out on bacteria isolated from patients or on biological products such as urine, etc.
Patrice Nordmann, Inserm Research Director and main author of this work, points out that "These tests are currently being assessed in order to ascertain their sensitivity directly from infected sites such as blood or urine."
The invention of these tests is an important breakthrough in the fight against the resistance to antibiotics. These tests will provide a simple, inexpensive (less than 4 to 5 euros) means of very rapidly detecting the most serious cases of resistance to antibiotics in human medicine and will contribute to limiting international diffusion.
As Patrice Normann states "We can hope, in particular in many Western countries where the situation has not yet reached endemic proportions multi-resistances (France, in particular), to be able to preserve to a certain extent the efficiency of wide-spectrum cephalosporins and carbapenems, antibiotics used as a "last resource."
Used straight at the patient's bedside, these tests will help us to optimise the use of antibiotic treatment, in particular in the developing countries where the levels of resistance are extremely high.
Two international patent applications have been filed with Insert Transfert. Their commercialisation is in the course of development and they should be available in about 12-16 months, however the techniques are available for any specialised laboratories who wish to develop them.
(1) Enterobaceriacae, including E. coli, usualy infest the human intestine. Given their proximity to the urinary and digestive tracts, urinary and digestive infections due to these germs are the most frequent.

Nets' Brooklyn Arena Appears Inevitable With Financing Deal
As expected, the New Jersey Nets today closed the deal on some $511 million public financing for their new arena in Brooklyn, allowing developer and team owner Bruce Ratner to embark on a project more than six years in the making. "Today's closing represents a vital step forward for New York City, one that is all the more important because of the economic challenges our city faces," Mr. Ratner said in a statement.
The Nets hope to move into the arena in 2012. Opponents of the project are continuing to pursue litigation to stop the project, and while their efforts have caused significant delays and financial losses for Mr. Ratner, they have not be an able to stop what now appears inevitable.

Weekend Staff Picks: Donuts, Hot Pots & Bingo
Here are some of the events and activities our colleagues are checking out around town this weekend.
JESSICA GOULD, WNYC reporter: Always inquisitive Jessica has been meaning to check out the City Reliquary in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It displays all sorts of New York City artifacts in permanent exhibits and this weekend it hosts a temporary exhibit honoring the doughnut. It explains how New York made it a popular treat in Keep Your Eye on the Donut.
JOSEPH CAPRIGLIONE, associate producer, New Jersey Public Radio: Joe hates the cold so he's rounding up some friends for beer and Asian comfort food in Flushing, Queens. That's where a branch of a popular Mongolian hot pot chain, found all around Asia and Boston in the U.S., is opening up its first New York restaurant. It's called Little Lamb.
JULIE WHITAKER, social media editor: When we last checked in with Julie last month she was attempting to screen every Academy Award nominated film in every category. So far, Julie has seen 48 of the 58 nominated movies and she's hoping to squeeze in four more before Sunday's ceremony. If you haven't seen any of the films and want to see one before the Academy Awards, Julie suggests Dallas Buyer's Club and the hidden gem of a foreign film, The Broken Circle Breakdown.
SEAN RAMESWARAM, producer, Studio 360: "Oscars Bingo" is a project of the staff at Studio 360 and the digital news team. You can print up a card from the website or you can play along on-line either alone or at your Oscar party and share your results on twitter #AwardsBingo. Sean says the prize -- bragging rights.

|Art Market Confidence Survey sees sign of recovery
|ArtTactic has just published a new edition of the US & European Art Market Confidence Survey. After an 81% drop in the ArtTactic Art Market Confidence Indicator in December 2008, the recent survey from June 2009, shows that confidence is cautiously coming back again.
Market recovery could take place earlier than expected with 64% believing the contemporary art market could rebound in 2010/11.
It also looks like the price correction loses momentum. A majority (74%) of the survey sample believe the art market would adjust another 10-20% or less, indicating that prices could be about to level out.

BENTONVILLE, Ark. — Amidst allegations of bribery at its Mexican affiliate, Wal-Mart Stores has created a new position. The global FCPA compliance officer will be responsible for ensuring that all Walmart divisions comply with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. This person will also oversee five FCPA compliance directors based in the international markets.
"Walmart has been working diligently on U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) compliance and has a rigorous process in place to quickly and aggressively manage issues like this when they arise. In the last year, we have taken a number of specific, concrete actions to investigate this matter and strengthen our global FCPA compliance processes and procedures around the world and in Bentonville and Mexico," said David Tovar, VP corporate communications for Walmart.
Tovar added that in Mexico, specifically, Walmart has implemented enhanced FCPA compliance measures including:
robust policies and procedures;
internal controls;
enhanced auditing procedures; and
issue escalation and remediation protocols.

I went to the dealer and was told that it could be one of two different types. He said that I would have to look at the security box itself to find out what number was on it before they could program another remote. Could anyone tell me where I can find this "box" and how I can get to it? Thank you Scott

The Football Association will spend up to £100,000 to take David Beckham to Cape Town by private jet before the draw for the 2010 World Cup finals. That outlay is intended to reinvigorate England's faltering bid to host the tournament in 2018. The former captain of the national team guarantees glamour that has been lacking so far in the campaign.
Beckham, who misses tomorrow's friendly against Brazil because of club commitments at LA Galaxy, is intended to restore impetus to the FA's flagging bid. Transport and security arrangements for the 34-year-old are costly but it will still look like a minor outlay in the effort to see England stage the World Cup for a second time.
"He's a phenomenal asset," said Lord Triesman, chairman of the FA and of the bid itself. "We want him there the maximum amount of time, we want him to be safe when he's there and to do as much with us as we can get him to do. Thank goodness he's totally up for it."
Confirmation of Beckham's participation was announced the day after Triesman had restructured the board for the 2018 bid from 12 members to seven. The chairman insists on the continuing relevance of those who have now gone.
Triesman highlighted the part that the Manchester United chief executive, David Gill, can still play. Gill has stepped aside from the board to form part of an advisory council. "There are people," he said, "who are absolutely critical to us like David, who is going to Kuala Lumpur on behalf of the bid in a few weeks' time.
"Nobody's been bumped off. The small group is going to do it day by day to ensure we have a focus. David will continue to use all his experience as one of the leading football administrators in the world."
For all that, there is no concealing the fact that doubts have been raised about Triesman now that the original strategy has had to be overhauled. He promised a measure of self-analysis following criticism of the bid. "It's not all pleasant," he said, "but it's made us think."
There was a note of defiance from Triesman. "I am going to do my level best to prove people wrong," he said. His predecessor at the FA, Geoff Thompson, who is a vice-president of Fifa and Uefa, is now on the board. "He's a huge asset," said Triesman.
The chairman did not deny tensions with various parties. "Certainly we have had our arguments," Triesman said, but he is adamant that the reaction to the World Cup bid is favourable.
"We've got huge assets," he said. "I think I've seen every member of the Fifa executive committee – we are getting a very serious response. We are not getting rebuffed around the world. It's winnable and I am very, very determined that we should win it." He added: "I am increasingly confident that we will do well in the first vote."
Triesman rejected suggestions that he ought to resign his leadership of the bid since he sees it as an essential part of the office of FA chairman in which he intends to remain.
His resolve to continue is not in doubt, although Triesman is aware of the resources being put behind rival bids and seems frustrated by a government of which he was once a member. "I don't thinks it's being proposed in equity terms but in loan terms," he said of the funding.

NASHVILLE – Ryan Suter called it a "weird" return to Nashville last weekend.
At dinner last Friday, 24 hours before he was set to face a hostile Bridgestone Arena crowd, Suter ran into his old neighbour from the time he lived in suburban Nashville. For the first time since being drafted in Music City in 2003, he stayed at the hotel across the street from the arena.
"That's probably what made me most nervous, walking in there and just knowing that I'm on the other side," he said.
On July 4th of last summer, Suter teamed up with fellow star free agent Zach Parise and took his talents to the State of Hockey. Suter and Parise signed identical 13-year, $98 million contracts with the Minnesota Wild, a simultaneous move that sent shockwaves league-wide and provided a much-needed jolt to the fan base.
Contrarily, Suter's departure from Nashville left a bitter taste with the vast majority of not only Predators fans, but the front office staff as well.
"It would be an understatement to say that the Nashville Predators are disappointed at this time. Not only am I disappointed, but very surprised," Predators general manager David Poile said on the day Suter made his decision.
Eight months have gone by since Suter and Parise darted to Minnesota and the topic still gets under people's skin in Nashville.
Suter was public enemy No. 1 last weekend, as he heard a chorus of boos every time he touched the puck throughout the game (which the Wild won 2-1 in a shootout, by the way). The Predators didn't play a tribute video for Suter's return like they did with Jordin Tootoo earlier this season, like they have done in the past for most former impact players in their first game back in Nashville.
Though venom still exists towards Suter from Nashville's end, the all-star defenceman doesn't mirror those same emotions. It was a tough weekend for Suter, who was disappointed (but understanding) of the crowd's treatment of his return. The Madison, Wisc., native spent seven seasons with the Predators and grew into an elite player at his position alongside teammate Shea Weber.
"I have a lot of great memories here. This is all I knew. Lot of good years here, lot of friends," Suter said Saturday morning. "I put a lot of thought into it and it was the right decision for me and my family and I'm happy to be where I am."
The decision by the 28-year-old to move closer to home and sign with the Wild instantly turned the fan base's frustrations into newfound hope.
The last time Minnesota qualified for the playoffs was in 2008 -- when Marian Gaborik, Brian Rolston and the late Pavol Demitra led the way offensively for a team coached by Jacques Lemaire. In the four subsequent seasons, the Wild flirted with playoff contention but ultimately fell short -- each failure adding a layer of pessimism to the fans' trust in their hockey club.
Midway through this lockout-shortened season, the Wild are contending for a division crown and has the look of a team that is going to stay in the hunt all season long. After a rocky start, they have won seven of their last 11 games.
Even if they miss out on the playoffs for a fifth straight season, Wild fans know that Suter and Parise, coupled with blue-chip youngsters, have the team on track for future success.
"It didn't take either of them long to show that their game is going to be a huge value to our team," Minnesota head coach Mike Yeo said of Suter and Parise. "More importantly, it didn't take them long to integrate with the team and provide the leadership they do on a nightly basis."
"It's definitely been a change, but I think it's gone well for the most part. I think we're both still learning and not 100 per cent comfortable, but it's getting there," Parise said of the challenge he and Suter have faced becoming co-faces of the franchise in a condensed season.
"We've come a long ways (as a team) since the beginning of the year and we still have a long way to go. We're getting there but we're learning how to do it."
As expected, Parise has been a major addition to the Wild's group up front. He leads the team with 11 goals and leads the forwards with an average ice time of 21:24, proving to be the go-to offensive threat the Wild envisioned him being right off the bat.
Suter, on the other hand, is carrying a defence corps that on paper doesn't boast a lot of talent. Not only does he lead the Wild with 17 assists, but he is tops in the NHL with an average ice time of 27:26. Despite struggling out of the gate, his all-around game should have him in the Norris Trophy conversation at this point in the season.
"Quite often when you get a guy like that you don't even quite realize how good he is," Yeo said. "When you're coaching against somebody like that, you're watching your own player. You get mad at your player when he loses the puck, but you don't see what a guy like Ryan is doing to force him to lose the puck; or you get mad at your team for not forechecking well, but you don't realize what a great play he made to break that forecheck."
When asked when he realized just how good Suter is, Parise said, "When I played with him at the Olympics. I knew he was good but I didn't realize he was that good. Now when you play with him on an everyday basis you realize how much easier he makes the game for forwards. It's so much different when you're getting the puck in stride and getting good passes on your tape, which he does all the time."
Though Suter makes everything look so easy on the ice, returning to the only place he knew for his first seven NHL seasons was anything but easy. Neither was the decision to leave Nashville for Minnesota, but Suter makes it clear he has no regrets.
"It's a great organization and I'm happy to be a part of it," he said. "We have a great future ahead of us."

Two Snyder men found more than 100 counterfeit dollars in a rusty lard bucket unearthed seven miles cast of here Wed- nesday. p. D. Dial, minister of the Snyder Church of Christ, and Garland Fambro were digging around the foundations of a now demolished house in mak- ing excavations for a new build- ing one halt hile east of the Plainview school house when they came upon the corroded old pail. Besides the counterfeit dol- lar coins, of which there were slightly more than 100, they found plaster of psrls molds for 51, 50 cents, 25 cents, 10 cent and 5 cent coins. GOOD IMITATIONS Although Ihe bucket showed evidence of having been buried several years, the coins were in good condition, and were good imitations of the genuine silver dollars. The place on which the cache was found belongs to Forrest Jones, a former county commis- sioner. He had bought the place a few months ago, however, and during preceding years it had been rented out to numerous tenants. It was known as "the old Harless place." Sheriff Clyde' Thomas took charge of the "phoney" dollars, and notified federal authorities at Lubbock. Discovery of the "buried treasure" brought back memories of counterfeiting operations unearthed in the Snyder vicinity during the last decnrie.

MODIFIES STAND In addition, he modified his stand of last week for the abolition of all holding companies. Some holding companies, he asserted, have pro- duced a certain arnouht of mass ef- ficiency in operation or are other- wise in the public interest.

Having the right things, in the right places can really help to spark children's imagination. Pulling in play dough, art and imaginary play, here's how to turn a pumpkin into a house!
How to make a pumpkin house
>>>> Download our ABCs and 123s guide here
I have a special fondness for pumpkins. I've dreamed of having a pumpkin patch since I was a child, and this year, for the first time, we had the space to grow some of our own. They're so pretty, and these small ones are so tactile, that we couldn't resist using one for some play. Don't you think they're just the right size and shape for a fairy house?
I think carving pumpkins isn't the best way to decorate them if you want the children to be involved: it's difficult for them to carve them safely and successfully, and once they have been carved they soon start to go soft and mushy. So, we decided to draw on the outside of ours using permanent markers. This way there's no cutting into the pumpkin, so it will last for ages, for lots of play. {And if we decide we want to eat it later, we could still scoop out the insides.}
Then to go with our house, we pulled in lots of bits and bobs from past playtimes to create an imaginary land. We used the paintings we made with acorns, cut them out and stuck them to some paper rolls with a bit of double-sided sticky tape….
and made some gorgeous autumn trees.
These dolls were last seen when we made a fairy land.
We added in our homemade autumn play dough, along with some natural loose parts…
My daughter decided one of the fairies was actually Baba Yaga, the bony-legged witch, in disguise, and set about re-telling the whole story, creating extra props when she needed them – like the play dough trees which she needed to make her deep, deep forest.
The result: a fantastic imaginary play time, full of creativity and language and storytelling – all from things around the house. Play doesn't need to be complicated – but creative play can really be encouraged by having the right kind of materials, in the right places, available to your children.

Furloughs for CWI workers
IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - More furloughs are coming to the site.
On Friday, CWI workers got a bulletin from Executive Vice President and COO Bill Lloyd about when folks will start getting sent home.
Workers are being told to show up to work Monday.
But cleanup operations will be suspended on Oct. 21, and that's when some employees will be furloughed.
The email does not say how many people will be forced to go home.
The furlough will last at least one week, possibly more if the partial shutdown of the federal government continues.
CWI is not the only company at the Department of Energy site impacted by the shutdown. On Thursday, Local News 8 obtained an email from Battelle Energy Alliance to its employees, which stated 2,600 of its workers would be furloughed starting Oct. 18.
