When you have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome, pain can hit anywhere, at any intensity, for any length of time. Sometimes you can foresee that a certain thing will trigger a certain pain, but it's largely unpredictable.

While all kinds of pain are unpleasant, some have a bigger impact on your life. Chief among these is foot pain -- something many of us have to deal with. Some readers have said:

"The bottoms of my feet felt like they were on fire. These pains come and go, sometimes [lasting] for months."

"[I] can't wear a flip flop or any kind of shoe."

"I can't stand to touch my bare feet to the floor. I have to wear memory foam slippers around the house."

During a flare of foot pain, you may find that just resting your foot on the floor causes a burning pain. Shoes can hurt not only on the soles of your feet but the tops as well. Walking? Agony. Stepping on an electrical cord can feel like being cut by a razor blade. A common complaint is waking up with feet that feel like you've been walking for hours.

Foot pain is a major problem. When every step is agony, it makes it hard to do much of anything. When you're already limited because of fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome, you hardly need one more thing to keep you from doing what you want or need to do.

What Triggers Foot Pain?

It's anyone's guess what triggers foot pain in us. It's not a symptom that has been researched at all, other than one study (Friend) documenting that foot pain is common in fibromyalgia.

In fact, that study found that about 50 percent of people with fibromyalgia report pain in one or both feet. That seems like a lot of us, but the same study showed that 91 percent have neck pain 79 percent experience hip pain. In fact, the feet were among the least likely places to hurt.

Still, it's important to look at foot pain because your ability to walk has a big impact on how functional you can be. Foot pain can make you walk differently, which can lead to back, hip and knee problems.

Some research (Liptan) suggests that fibromyalgia involves inflammation of the fascia, which is a thin layer of connective tissue that runs throughout your entire body.

You've probably heard of the condition plantar fasciitis, which is caused by inflammation of a band of fascia that runs along the bottom of your foot, helping support the arch. We don't know anything for sure yet, but some people speculate that plantar fasciitis is a symptom or a common overlapping condition with fibromyalgia.

For more information on plantar fasciitis, see:

What is Plantar Fasciitis?

It's possible that, for some of us, foot pain is caused purely by fibromyalgia or chronic fatigue syndrome. Our nerves are highly sensitive, and few areas take a beating like our feet. It stands to reason that they could hurt "just" because the nerves got riled up.

However, foot pain can come from a lot of causes, and your fibromyalgia/chronic fatigue syndrome would amplify the pain. Some common overlapping conditions that could cause foot pain include:

Myofascial pain syndrome,

Rheumatoid arthritis,

Lupus,

Raynaud's Syndrome.

Foot pain can also come from a lot of other sources that have nothing to do with fibromyalgia. You may have an injury or a repetitive stress problem such as:

Tightness in the iliotibial band (which runs down the outside of the leg,)

Sciatica or other nerve compressions.

If you have foot pain that is persistent or limits your ability to function, be sure to talk to your doctor about it. We can get used to the idea that we just have to live with pain, but it's possible that your doctor may be able to diagnose and treat your foot pain successfully.

Easing Your Foot Pain

When foot pain is caused by an injury or an overlapping condition, your doctor can help you find the right treatment.

Otherwise, you'll need to find ways to manage it. The following is a list of things that have helped some people with these conditions ease their foot pain (remember than these are only personal experiences and they might not work for you):

Soft, well-cushioned slippers,

Thick socks or diabetic socks,

Soft-soled shoes,

Soaking in hot water and Epsom salts,

Gentle stretching,

Extremely gentle massage,

Cooling lotion,

Orthotics.

A 2012 study on custom orthotics (Ferrari) suggested that they may help people with fibromyalgia function better overall. (It did not look specifically at foot pain.)

It's likely to take some time and experimentation to find the best way(s) to relieve your foot pain.

We got up to Penn State around 1 o'clock on Saturday, Newsome said. I talked to the coaches for a bit and then I got to see the team arrive at the stadium and Coach (Joe) Paterno and (Daryll) Clark get off the bus first. That was pretty cool. I talked to a lot of people while I was there. I talked to coaches, players, fans, recruits. I talked to everybody. I got to know Darrell Givens up there pretty well, so I was talking to him a lot along with some other recruits like the big guy, Eric Shrive. Those guys were pushing me. They really said that Penn State is the place to be. I really had a great visit.
Newsome also had an opportunity to talk with Joe Paterno on his visit.
I talked with Coach Paterno about a lot of stuff, Newsome said. He was a really cool guy and he just talked to me about everything. If Penn State's goal was to make my visit as great as possible, they succeeded.
Newsome also talked about the decommitment of Tajh Boyd from West Virginia and how that may impact his recruitment as they are interested in some of the same schools.
I know Tajh really well, Newsome said. He is a great quarterback. We have gone to camps and seven on sevens since my sophomore year. I know that if I went to the same school as he did, we would have a friendly competition and I wouldn't be opposed to it. I am just going to consider everything and make the choice that is right for me.
Newsome claims no leader at this point with at least two more visits in his future.
I will be visiting Boston College coming up in November, Newsome said. I will also visit Virginia Tech at some point as well. I want to get in an official visit to those two and Penn State and I am still open to some other schools but I don't know which ones I might visit.
Newsome has been injured with a broken finger on his non-throwing hand that has kept him out of competition at Hargrave Military Academy.
I dislocated my pinkie and then I put it back in, then I broke it, Newsome said. I should be back for the Fork Union game at the end of the month.
Newsome talked a bit about the change in competition at Hargrave.
I am starting to get used to the 6-foot-6, 330-pound lineman coming after me and hitting me and everything, Newsome said. The guys are just bigger that I play against and even that I practice against. I just keep on working to get better.
Look for more on Newsome as he continues to take visits before making his college decision.

Coal Country Senator Says Big Coal Needs to Stop Lying
June 26th, 2012 by Zachary Shahan
Anyone who looks into Big Coal's claims know that it's full of poop. But when you're pumping millions and millions into local, state, and federal politicians, you're actually able to confuse and trick a ton of people. Big Coal is one of the most notorious swindler machines on the planet. So, it was pretty awesome to see this video below of a West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller tearing into the lies currently spread by Big Coal. Check it out, along with the full post preceding it:

Wow. After years of bowing to his state's all-powerful coal barons, West Virginia Senator Jay Rockefeller took to the floor of the Capitol Wednesday to denounce them. Rockefeller accused big coal of using scare tactics and lies to bully people over environmental regulations. And he says it's time…

" If your halls aren't included here please suggest them. "
When I knew I was going to be attending Brighton university, I applied for Phoenix Halls as it was close to the town (less of a walk home when drunk!) and they had en-suits in all the rooms, which was a major factor for me as I was self concious about sharing a bathroom... unfortunately I didn't get accepted and instead got my second choice which was Moulsecoomb.
Moulsecoomb Halls is more of a neighbourhood than the other Halls; it is a set of houses (rather than massive flats like the other Halls) with around 8 people in each, 1 kitchen, 1 shower and 1 bath/shower. Having seen the other Halls I am so glad I ended up in Moulsecoomb, without flooding you with all my stories I will just say that it's much more fun and more of a community - when it snows each house teams up against each other with a heavy snowball fight! Likewise in the summer everyone bought a water pistol and had one massive drenching!
The houses can be a little less social than the other Halls, in the sense that everyone is split over a number of floors, but again that has its benefits, we had a war between each of the 3 floors - everyone bought BB guns and were at constant war the whole year round! Yes it was painful, but so worth it!! The staff did no to some extent what was happening but we made sure the house was still in good condition when we left so they didn't mind too much... well, if you do go into 14 Tillstone Close, you may notice hundreds of round dents in the wall, now you know why!
Moulsecoomb Halls are catered, I was a bit worried at first as I'm picky with my food but it turned out okay, there were a choice of 2 meals each night, but you could say just a part of a meal if you wanted, like many nights I simply had chips on there own as I didn't like the other things. Occasional they didn't have anything that I liked so I just had deserts and then cooked some pasta when I got home. Breakfast was okay, the 'hard' boiled eggs were never hard, crack them open and they're always still liquid inside... other than that everything was okay, sausages, baked beans and a hash brown every morning, but also on offer were cereal and toast and fruit etc.
The Halls were right next to the train station and bus stop, as well as the university offering a free bus service to the other campus's making it very easy to get around. It is walking distance to the town and to pretty much everywhere, I never had to get the bus or a taxi when I lived there (apart from when I got drunk...).
Overall, living in Moulsecoomb Halls was the best year of my life! I still talk to all the people I lived with, everyone was friendly. The room was good and the shower wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Nothing I can complain about at all, it lived up to the student experience!! :)
(Please note, this review may also be posted on Ciao under the same username)
When I applied to study at the University of Brighton in 2008, I put down Phoenix halls as my first choice. This is mainly because they had en suite and were closer to town. Unlike many I was successful in getting my first choice.
On the day of the big move, I did not know what to expect. Other than what I'd seen on the website and stories I'd heard from friends living in halls of residence across the country, this was a complete mystery. I didn't know who I would be sharing a kitchen with, whether these people would become my friends for life, or if I'd even manage to last the year; 200 miles from home and the first time I'd be away from my family.
Wow, was I glad I'd chose halls as an option. Phoenix was like staying in a hotel. About 10 minute walk to the Lanes and town. 15 minutes to Grand Parade campus and 25 mins to Moulsecoomb- walking. (5 mins to both on the bus.) If you study at Falmer then be prepared to get the bus for a 20-30 minute journey.
The rooms were fairly big with a single bed, a large desk with drawers, a separate chest of drawers/dressing table and a cupboard style wardrobe.
The en-suite was larger than I expected with a shower, a toilet and sink w/ mirror. It wasn't too difficult to maintain cleanliness as the floor was easy to clean and the vent in there meant it wouldn't get too mouldy. (Although I did have to buy mould spray at the end of the year).
The kitchen was shared amongst 8 of us, but some flats only shared between 6 or 7. It's not a problem though as each person is allocated a numbered cupboard and there are 2 fridge freezers to share!
We were extremely lucky to be the 'penthouse' flat, with amazing views of Brighton town and a distant sea view.
The staff at Phoenix were sufficient. We had a cleaner that cleaned the communal area of kitchen/seating area. They would come in twice a week and mop about... but be prepared to do the bulk of the cleaning yourself.
Security guards available 24/7... sometimes you'd love them, but don't expect to be throwing crazy parties because you will get shut down straight away!!
The common room is located in C block. As are the vending machines, office, security guards. The common room has a ping pong table, a television and the laundretter (which has 5 washers and 5 dryers).
The halls are set out in Blocks. A- E. C is the main and biggest. A and B are large and then D and E are smaller. Each one has flats which are numbered. And then you will have an individual room number.
If you get a place at Phoenix then be very excited about what is to come and make the most of Freshers week.
Contact me if you want anymore details.
As a student of Brighton University I have experienced living in halls and in a house. I can confidently say that my experience of halls was absolutelly second to none. Brighton Uni halls have a great atmosphere and the social interaction between students was brilliant. The staff were friendly and a good laugh. The location is pretty good (10 mins from schools) but the best attribute is that in the first week halls breaks the ice for nervous freshers. Most University Halls of residence are based around the same basic idea - getting the students living togeter. Thats what its all about. As a result you make friends quickly, and learn the basics about how to live without your parents. (Let me guess, you cant wait eh?) Ok, so you get a cleaner, (well in Brighton you do) but having your own space to do what you want when you want to do it, and at the same time having all your new friends around you will probrably be the best living exerience of your life. After Halls I have lived in 2 houses. Each with 3 other mates (from halls!) and we've had a great time. But its not the same. We still reminis about the great times we had there. I recommend that you dont look for an alternative - The experience is not worth missing.

Nice Necklace
Based on this (my first) purchase, I highly recommend Ross Simons for the value, product quality and timely shipping. The 16" length and peridot stones were exactly what I was searching for. That being said, I just wish the stones were as "lively green" as the description states. They are very well set in a protective bezel setting, which may be the reason I feel the green is difficult to see (my guess). Nevertheless, I will continue to shop Ross Simon for all the reasons stated above.

Serves 4
4 fillets of firm fleshed fish, such as hapuku
1 Tbs garam masala
2 tsp turmeric
1 cup yoghurt
1/2 Tbs lemon juice
3 shallots
Non-flavoured oil eg grapeseed or rice bran
Fresh mint
1. Put the fish fillets into a bowl. Combine the garam masala, turmeric and yoghurt together. Add the lemon juice and salt to taste. Spoon over the fish, turning to ensure the fish is well covered. Leave for 1 hour (this is preferable but not essential).
2. Preheat oven to 200C. Transfer the fish to a baking dish and cook for 20 minutes.
3. Slice the shallots finely. Heat a small frypan, cover the base with oil and cook the shallots until golden and crispy - approximately 15 minutes. Serve the fish topped with the shallots and garnished with fresh mint.

John Barleycorn HTML version
Chapter 11
And still there arose in me no desire for alcohol, no chemical demand. In years and years
of heavy drinking, drinking did not beget the desire. Drinking was the way of the life I
led, the way of the men with whom I lived. While away on my cruises on the bay, I took
no drink along; and while out on the bay the thought of the desirableness of a drink never
crossed my mind. It was not until I tied the Razzle Dazzle up to the wharf and got ashore
in the congregating places of men, where drink flowed, that the buying of drinks for other
men, and the accepting of drinks from other men, devolved upon me as a social duty and
a manhood rite.
Then, too, there were the times, lying at the city wharf or across the estuary on the sand-
spit, when the Queen, and her sister, and her brother Pat, and Mrs. Hadley came aboard.
It was my boat, I was host, and I could only dispense hospitality in the terms of their
understanding of it. So I would rush Spider, or Irish, or Scotty, or whoever was my crew,
with the can for beer and the demijohn for red wine. And again, lying at the wharf
disposing of my oysters, there were dusky twilights when big policemen and plain-
clothes men stole on board. And because we lived in the shadow of the police, we opened
oysters and fed them to them with squirts of pepper sauce, and rushed the growler or got
stronger stuff in bottles.
Drink as I would, I couldn't come to like John Barleycorn. I valued him extremely well
for his associations, but not for the taste of him. All the time I was striving to be a man
amongst men, and all the time I nursed secret and shameful desires for candy. But I
would have died before I'd let anybody guess it. I used to indulge in lonely debauches, on
nights when I knew my crew was going to sleep ashore. I would go up to the Free
Library, exchange my books, buy a quarter's worth of all sorts of candy that chewed and
lasted, sneak aboard the Razzle Dazzle, lock myself in the cabin, go to bed, and lie there
long hours of bliss, reading and chewing candy. And those were the only times I felt that
I got my real money's worth. Dollars and dollars, across the bar, couldn't buy the
satisfaction that twenty-five cents did in a candy store.
As my drinking grew heavier, I began to note more and more that it was in the drinking
bouts the purple passages occurred. Drunks were always memorable. At such times
things happened. Men like Joe Goose dated existence from drunk to drunk. The
longshoremen all looked forward to their Saturday night drunk. We of the oyster boats
waited until we had disposed of our cargoes before we got really started, though a
scattering of drinks and a meeting of a chance friend sometimes precipitated an
accidental drunk.
In ways, the accidental drunks were the best. Stranger and more exciting things happened
at such times. As, for instance, the Sunday when Nelson and French Frank and Captain
Spink stole the stolen salmon boat from Whisky Bob and Nicky the Greek. Changes had
taken place in the personnel of the oyster boats. Nelson had got into a fight with Bill
Kelley on the Annie and was carrying a bullet-hole through his left hand. Also, having

Bear cub isn't a new model. It's just a re-coloured one

Mexican Sloppy Joes
See that awesome looking hamburger bun? I made that. I'll have the recipe for those up tomorrow. I jumped around the house when I pulled them out of the oven..total perfection!
I actually baked those hamburger buns with this recipe in mind. I spotted it last week and bookmarked it to make. My oldest son loves everything spicy and so does my husband. My youngest son and I are in the middle and these were about as spicy as we could go. I doubt anyone else who makes these will have a problem with the spice because I'm pretty sure The Netherlands is the only place to produce burn your lips off chili powder. I knew from experience not to use the full amount but the little I did use was again way to much. Boo on lip numbing chili powder!
These are seriously good though..you get a kick of sweetness from the brown sugar and a kick from the chili sauce..Make sure you get sweet chili sauce and if you are like me,go for the mild.
Mexican Sloppy Joe's
1 lb Ground Beef..lean,regular,soy crumbles
1/2 cup Diced Red Onion..I used a regular one
1 TBS Minced Garlic
1/4 cup Diced Jalapeno Pepper..left out
3/4 cup Sweet Chili Sauce
2 TBS Brown Sugar
2 tsp. Chili Powder
1 tsp. Ground Cumin
Optional toppings: Cilantro,Pepper Jack Cheese or cheese of choice. They sell a Cumin cheese here that I used and it went great with the sandwiches.
Brown ground beef in large pan over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain and reserve one tablespoon of drippings. Add onion and garlic to pan and sautee until fragrant,about 1-2 minutes.Add in jalapeno and cook until vegetable are tender,about 5 minutes. Return beef to mixture and salt and pepper to taste. Stir in sweet chili sauce,brown sugar and cumin. Simmer for 12-15 minutes,stirring often.
Serve on hambuger buns and toppings of choice.
Yield: 6 servings

The phrase "come for the winter, stay for the summer" is thrown so casually around Steamboat Springs it might as well be painted on the city limit sign. It's a mantra that proves only half true for Sarah Hamilton.

While we love bold lipstick, the full-throttle look can be more demanding than a VH1 Divas concert special. Rather than enduring laborious, frequent touchups, we turn to this plucky and superpigmented lip stain. The easy-to-use pen-style applicator departs the perfect amount of pigmentation and the rich hues stay put for hours.
Love this marker like stain. It gives a great flush of color and defines lips nicely. Also, I found it less drying than other stains I've tried. It does t lady super long, but it's very portable, so touch ups are easy. I particularly like this pink color as it looks very natural and works well under other colors.5

Effectiveness and Acceptance of Video Presentations in Hybrid Learning Environments
Video presentations have become common components in hybrid course development, but their effectiveness is debated and may be indirect. The impact of video presentations is assessed, student and faculty acceptance issues are analyzed, and the cost versus benefit issue is examined. Recommendations are made for future research.
Problem Statement
The need to find the best trade-off in a hybrid course between time in the classroom and time online brings a focus on technology that is unique to hybrid course development. Video-based technologies can form an important and useful component in hybrid courses, but to what extent are video presentations effective, and if so what specific impact do they have?
Effectiveness on Learning Outcomes
Results amongst researchers on the value of recorded presentations are mixed. Lazzari (2009, p.33) did not find a measureable benefit from recordings, but showed that the increased involvement amongst students motivated by recordings improved their test scores. Malan (2007), in a study of the use of podcasting at Harvard, saw the educational value as "marginal" but found recordings to be beneficial in reviewing lectures notes and studying for exams (p.393). Deal (2007, p.12) had similar results, and suggested that the technologies themselves do not contain value, but that value is obtained through good content. Lonn and Teasley (2009, p.91), who created podcasts and analyzed their use by students, also found them to be beneficial when students used them to review material in exam preparation, as did Evans (2008, p.496).
In a study by McKinney, Dyck and Luber (2009), students who only had access to recordings outperformed students who attended lectures. However, the average score of students who only had the recording and did not take notes was about the same as those who attended the lecture (p.621). Furthermore, this was only a small study, with 34 participants in the audio-only group.
Lonn and Teasley (2009, p.92) recommend the curriculum be composed of a variety of resources and student-instructor interactions. Lee and Chan (2007) found that supplementary recordings reduced student anxiety and the sense of isolation associated with online learning, particularly in hybrid courses that include remote-only students who may perceive inequality in mentoring (p.86). Fernandez et al. (2009, p.391) found that recordings improved the sense of connection between students and instructors, increased their motivation, supported varied study habits and reduced time spent in the lecture hall.
Reducing lecture time is also explored by Day and Foley (2006). Students were provided with a video lecture before they came to class. Class time which would normally have been used for lecture was instead used to discuss lessons and explore the material further. These students performed better on exams than students taking the course in the traditional manner.
Acceptance of Technologies
The effectiveness of video presentations is moot if the technology is rejected by students and faculty. Acceptance also has a direct impact on effectiveness. A survey conducted by Held (2009, p.150) showed that most students find lecture capture to be an important technology in engaging them in the learning process. Younger students in particular are motivated by lecture capture, video presentations, and podcasts (p.151).
A logical question to ask regarding acceptance would be whether students in a hybrid course will use a video recording as a substitute for a lecture if they know that a recorded presentation will be available. Lonn and Teasley (2009, p.91) found that students did not skip class when lectures were available, and other researchers, including Malan (2007), found that only 18% of surveyed students saw the podcast as an alternative to attending class (p.393). There is speculation, such as EDUCAUSE (2008, p.2), that this may be because the recording may last as long as the lecture anyway, thus not saving any time, and does not provide the ability to ask questions. More research is needed in this area.
Acceptance by faculty is also an important consideration. New software and faster Internet connections have resulted in better and easier video recording (Hartsell & Yuen, 2006, p.32), but most video presentations are still created by faculty with technical expertise and acceptance is low (Lonn & Teasley, 2009, p.91). According to Dobbs (2005) training has a direct impact on faculty acceptance and should be considered a critical component when developing a curriculum. More research is needed on promoting acceptance and training faculty with less technical expertise.
Another factor is the cost of implementation and training. Ellis and Cohen (2001) looked at the issue, pointing to a need to carefully balance the cost against improvements in student learning. More research is needed on actual learning outcomes, particularly in light of more recent technologies such as video podcasting and high-speed cable. Additional consideration must be given to other costs, such as textbooks, which may be reduced by the use of video (Wright, 2004). Cobb (2005) looked at methods of cost analysis in comparing online with traditional courses and pointed out that whether a cost is justified by a benefit is just as significant as the cost itself, so while the cost of multimedia needs to be carefully looked at, a higher overall expense should not be a deterrent to implementation (p.1).
A final consideration is the use of sound in video presentations. Because the content is visual, sound may not be considered a critical component. Spickard, Smithers, Cordray, et al. (2004) looked at this issue, studying lectures with PowerPoint slides that did or did not include audio from the instructor. Students with audio scored consistently better on exams.
Conclusions and Further Research
The literature confirms a high degree of applicability and effectiveness for video presentation methods in hybrid courses. While there may not be a direct impact on test scores, an indirect impact through meeting expectations, improving comfort levels, and supporting diverse study methods seems clear. But implementation methods present many challenges, ranging from training to cost-effectiveness, and careful analysis and weighing of all factors is necessary.
A comparison of effect on note-taking skills similar to McKinney (2008) could be applied to video recordings. McKinney looked at the impact of audio recordings on the quality of note-taking. A similar study with video may suggest that video recordings are more effective than audio alone. There is little research on the acceptance of faculty with regard to video presentation, and important considerations such as privacy and copyright need more attention. The issue of intellectual property ownership is recognized and a potential point of contention in policy determination and employment negotiations (EDUCAUSE, 2008), but full range of objections has not been studied. A study on generational differences would also be useful.
There is no research on life expectancy of video-based presentations aside from cataloging and conversion of older formats. For example a presentation on how to use Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 may be less effective once the institution switches to Visual Studio 2010, or it may still be useful. Study in this area could look at methods for determining how long a recording remains useful, determining when content has expired, and student and faculty perceptions.

University of Utah biochemists have reported an advance in the production of functional mirror-image proteins. According to a groundbreaking study published in this week's online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, they have chemically synthesized a record-length mirror-image protein and used this protein to demonstrate that a cellular chaperone, which helps "fold" large or complex proteins into their functional state, has a previously unappreciated talent -- the ability to fold mirror-image proteins. These findings will greatly facilitate mirror-image protein production for applications in drug discovery and synthetic biology.
Proteins are "handed" -- with both left- (L-) and mirror-image right-handed (D-) forms. Life on Earth standardized on only L-proteins; since D-proteins are not found in nature, organisms have not evolved the ability to digest them. Therefore, mirror-image proteins have tremendous potential as a new class of long-lived drugs. However, a major limitation in developing mirror-image therapeutics is that they must be chemically synthesized -- an arduous task for larger proteins. An additional challenge is that large proteins often require the assistance of cellular "chaperones" to fold into their functional state, and D-chaperones are not available.
"Recent advances in chemical protein synthesis make it more feasible to produce larger synthetic D-proteins," says Michael S. Kay, M.D., Ph.D., professor of biochemistry at the University of Utah School of Medicine and senior author of the study. However, chemical synthesis is not the only challenge. These proteins must also be folded into their proper three-dimensional shapes. Dr. Kay continues, "Larger, more complex proteins often rely on chaperones to prevent misfolding and produce functional protein. The fundamental question we sought to answer was whether natural L-chaperones could 'crossover' to fold mirror-image D-proteins."
Kay, together with co-authors Matthew T. Weinstock, Ph.D. and Michael T. Jacobsen (former and current graduate students) synthesized the D-form of the bacterial protein DapA, a 312-amino acid protein that requires the assistance of a chaperone known as GroEL/ES to fold under physiologic conditions.
"We wondered if we could make and fold larger proteins to greatly expand the reach of mirror-image drug discovery," adds Dr. Weinstock (now a scientist at Synthetic Genomics, La Jolla, CA). Prior to this study, the longest synthetic D-protein reported was the 204-residue D-VEGF dimer. Using their synthetic D-DapA, the Utah group demonstrated that natural GroEL/ES was capable of folding the D-protein into its active conformation (i.e., it is 'ambidextrous', folding both L- and D-proteins). This discovery provides proof-of-concept for the use of natural GroEL/ES to fold D-proteins for a variety of mirror-image drug discovery and synthetic biology applications.
"Future research will focus on pushing the size limits of chemical protein synthesis even further and developing methods to improve the efficiency, quality, and yield of the synthetic process," says Jacobsen.
These capabilities will accelerate and enable further mirror-image drug discovery programs being pursued by the Kay lab in collaboration with their commercialization partner Navigen (a biotech startup in Salt Lake City). Mirror-image proteins may also be useful for the study of dangerous protein toxins. Mirror-image versions of such proteins would have the identical chemical characteristics as the natural protein (enabling detailed biochemical studies), but will generally be non-toxic to natural organisms.
Kay and his colleagues are also focused on long-term applications of their work. According to Kay, an intriguing potential application of chemical D-protein synthesis is the construction of a mirror-image ribosome, the protein-making machine of the cell. "A mirror-image ribosome would provide a dramatically easier and more cost-effective method to produce usable quantities of diverse mirror-image proteins, and would be the heart of a fully synthetic mirror-image cell," says Kay.
These ambitious goals remain years away, but Dr. Weinstock adds, "As a result of this work, we are now ready to start considering these possibilities."

Vol. 4 No. 6 July/August. 2012:
Misuse of Copyright Misuse Doctrine
A recent decision by a California federal district court could make it more difficult for copyright owners to prevent the unauthorized importation of gray market goods into the United States. The court held that watchmaker Omega S.A.'s "offensive" assertion of its copyright against Costco amounted to copyright misuse. An overview of prior copyright misuse jurisprudence is explored, as well as the potential implications for copyright owners if the court's decision is affirmed by the Ninth Circuit or adopted by other courts.

The guys discuss the possibility of trading Jon Lester if the Red Sox continue to lose.
Transcript - Not for consumer use. Robot overlords only. Will not be accurate.
In the fall before it's free agent year the Phillies offered Hamels in eighty million dollar deal. Then the following spring Matt -- get like a 112 and half the 127. Overall pleased that there was no two -- that deal. And the Phillies at that point grudgingly upped their offer to around a hundred million dollars at some point this year you know as the Red Sox dragged their feet on this thing. Lester and is represented here and say you know what. We're only about twenty starts and free agency -- every day that goes by just exactly he said the meter goes up there had -- this is absolute. Can sound like. Cluster all it was fabulous yesterday on our show you should check out the on demand interview that we -- with -- of ESPN go to WEEI dot com go to the on demand page will be right there for you Tim bands we Maloney Christian -- it's 937 WE IW. EI Sports Radio network. On the top of -- Jon Lester Lou something that Gerry Callahan said this morning on DNC had you all fired up. The stimulus and he do we think -- that has balls do you think he has balls I do. I guess I'm gonna say he does or doesn't we're gonna find out in let's hold out because in July they have to be so they have to be sellers Jon Lester is one of the great cells grown -- got -- Jon Lester and John Lackey you have who started pitches that would bring back. A bowl -- and the -- he will you have the opportunity to deal them. It'll take some balls -- you gonna have to wave the white flag. If you or someone that thinks that the Red Sox are done. As we heard yesterday on this show from a caller to that this should be a rebuilding season and does that move makes sense of trading Jon Lester. In July 6177797937. -- now. It does make sense to beat Tampa Bay and you thinking of moving David Price does make sense if you Kansas City. You thinking of moving James Shields. What you're getting in return. What is a ball -- And if you if you trade you should be trying to sign Joseph Lester and you don't give up July 31 on signing -- Lester. If you trade Jon Lester. What are you gonna win the next four years. Anything. Maybe just given your chances of winning and what would you go to court and anchor the staff for the next 34 years aerial and my take him through three years to become the pitcher -- is that maybe you'd think he showed that we've seen with a lot of guys some guys come up Broadway lights out of the guys takes a couple of years. Who's who's number two. -- -- you're Liam buckles like I thought well that's okay relieved are also galaxy were we Diller also -- my fourth -- -- because you know what that's called a World Series championship that the team if BA it's. The problem is that peace Jirga so caught up in play indicated. That he forgets that that this people there at Fenway Park and trying to win. They don't want 2000 tall they don't want an empty stadium in August and September. -- they're trying to win a championship they've 170 million dollar payroll. They should pay Jon Lester. They they should keep John Lackey because they would like to win baseball games everybody just wants all the kids I don't. Understand it like that trying to win. The Iraqi thing how would understand more the Leicester -- I would do because if you don't have an ace you're always looking forties. If you're the Boston Red Sox and he traded away your ace in Lester. -- the off season. You're gonna be looking to replace Jon Lester with an -- -- alleged -- -- -- more or close to it because they all let -- -- -- -- David Price. Maybe back to the back to the doomsday scenario I noticed this do you throw Jon Lester and that and that pot you mix them up he's part of that because. Well what we were touched on what buster is that they should have made him a good hard aggressive offer in the spring. But they didn't he balked adding he would want he said they're gonna wait a Karen I'm gonna talk anymore that was what was coming has pregnancies starts he's playing great at one bad game. Bomb bag game against -- Toronto may 22. And gave up and run attack ten hits brother Matt. He's given you exactly what you knew we was going to give you. So the better he gets. The meter just goes up just to keep adding money to adding money to it to the point work you can always save yourself some money. And save yourself some headache and they give us some good loose -- elicited elicited some ago we lock this guy up for good long time. We're not gonna get Murdoch in Morocco lose -- eight. See if -- the Boston Red Sox if -- the New York Yankees of Europe Los Angeles Dodgers at the trade deadline. Okay you try to position yourself for the following year to win. You don't try to position yourself to fail the next years well. And that's what that would be dealing. You're trying to win in case you always you wanna make a trade that's gonna help you the president and help you in the future. Not destroy your future. I would think -- they were even just trade Lackey that in the offseason let's -- the season is our trade requisite. Hypothetically they don't have fifteen game losing just its tact it's over the growing up to July -- it's. Dawn they're not gonna get back in the wild card race little on the division race yes they wanna trade John Lackey. Go ahead and trade. John Lackey but if you trade John Lackey gets something in return. If you're the Boston Red Sox coming up the offseason you still should be -- on the top of your priority list is finding and number two. Right at that point does the price not escalate from where you're gonna get free agents. It's cost a lot more than 500 grand on -- every says John Lackey so valuable update everybody because next you to make 500000 dollars. Is -- about labor -- the Red Sox. I can make that hundreds nowadays what if the Red Sox fall a lot of this if they're what -- games out of -- by the deadline you know you do. You start building for next year. The deadline in the Red Sox. And that's when the kids start -- that's when you start seeing more secure. As you know that's when you sir -- saying OK let's and I don't. I don't need Jonny Gomes on my team I I've been mayberry Venetian Victorino on my team because I -- get will keep -- a look OK I get that. And maybe it could even at that point the twenty games out then maybe if you wanna sit there and say which I don't think it's gonna happen. Maybe it will wanna start Bogart's at shortstop because you start building next year insignificant but he wants to -- -- Detroit or maybe you do he -- good prospects back. We don't trade drove right now he just got him. But if you are where you say you're going to be which I don't think -- hypothetically. You the Red Sox failed to win next year. They don't destroy that opportunity by trading away Lester and Lackey this OK we get Lester Lackey right now. When a lot of young arms that's give them the experience and see if they can pitch. You know what you get rid of pieces that -- that championship teams need -- you don't obviously because you know gonna win either. Panic you know they are keeping their really -- over the decisions that they've made and the Al columns that come from those decisions I mean it in if you think about. When you really start to show that you panic though because ten million dollars for them is not panic. No but let me but it it but that was I think that was the first sign. -- yeah that was the first time because it if they've -- in the -- I mean they've waited out waited that long. You know as far as like when the young guys from I'll start seeing young guys play when they shouldn't be playing. Was when the management and the coaches in the managers. All kind of collectively said. Listen when you start -- -- -- our guys reps this year so we can -- -- -- should it trading Lackey or Lester -- part of the discussion right now for the Red Sox 61777979837. It was brought up this morning was all fired up about it I agree with Lou I think it's too quick hook. For the Jon Lester situation in particular. It was a little bit more about Lackey but let's hear what you have to say David. War -- David how hard and good morning. Good morning well good morning good morning. I'm more knowledge it is definitely wrong EE -- lock up there and you're right Lou I mean. -- EU's. Policy either approved -- Policy it and -- they aren't injured in the picture -- that. Now -- -- -- I ended up making a ridiculous mistake if they lose them but what what deer -- Get mentioned in it -- interestingly it Victorino. Because it injury prone. And if Andy is marketable to a team -- had -- that it impending. You know it can't -- -- -- -- -- that he can help you can't help the team if you're on the agenda that the world all EEU it is. Can't help him club from the top idol winner of the -- all of it cannot tonight after. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Where are you oiled up just -- oil today did you murders -- this because I brought you something do you want it now do you wanna -- its -- -- -- -- how are on air into the mess that we're not put some face lotion onto it and I know you look shiny you know you young -- -- the time to buy it natural -- my skin gets so much -- You don't have day air that I have in my body right now -- -- chest geared up to these huge future ought now. Quote negotiate through chest. If you guys and sooner -- Giles sort of I don't know I don't know it's I'm I have a few -- patches of grass on my chest and you know it just doesn't really make that better growth there. Same with my basement of the growth facial hair and so there's actually a victory and I was listening samba I'm really glad we got to the top guys are so I don't have to be -- noticed him. -- the point at the deadline that's what you do. You'd trade a way to peace is that you have like those role players that you have. That can help a team win if you trade away and AJ Pierzynski is only here for a year and you call up Vasquez and you let him catch. You trade away Victor Reno in May be put bets and senator Bradley in right. -- this is it your way out of this thing is what we're talking about. Where somebody commitments in 2000 -- they made that trade August the Dodgers and -- win a World Series next year that trade was for the future. But that was that was for the future. They had issues with each and every one of those players and know that if they held them there -- can win anything. You know they don't have a problem with Jon Lester he is an answer the end John Lackey like gonzo is the -- they wanna get rid of they want no part of Beckett -- wanna get out get out from underneath Crawford's deal and -- was a pain in the ass. In the locker room so big that that was for the future. And this is what they go to his deadline as well. The EI FaceBook responses to this are. Coming in fast and furious and we'll get to those before the top of the hour we also after recap. Be highly anticipated. Pull -- challenge or the new balanced Jim. A surprise winner from yesterday's -- I'll ask Jim a whole lot challenge visitors you would say that. We'll tell you what dark horse came from the back of the pack to win.

Hi and welcome to another episode in our series of profiles on Community Ambassadors, Volunteer moderators and Skype employees who are active on the Skype Community.
Today I'd like to introduce Slava who is a Staff Moderator.
My name is Slava and I'm part of the Incubator team at Skype. I've been working here for quite some time. I joined Skype in September 2006 as a Customer Support email agent. I then moved to the CS chat team and later ended up in the Incubator team.
I am a big fan of playing guitar. I have been in several rock/metal bands over the past years and currently working on a new music project with my friends. We're about to have our first concert on the 20th of December with the current band.
I have also been an avid aikido practitioner for about 5 years. Unfortunately, I got a spine injury this year, so my aikido "career" is under question.
2. What do you do in the Skype Community?
Being in the Community is actually directly related to my job. Part of the Incubator team's responsibilities is to collect post-launch feedback and the Community is one of the best sources for us. If something doesn't work you can instantly see a hot thread about it on the Community as it takes less time for users to post there rather than to contact the Skype customer service via email or chat. Another big advantage of using Skype Community is the ability to reply to multiple users at the same time. The reach of a single reply on the Community is much bigger than the reach of a customer support email. I also do some moderation and answer questions on the Russian board.
3. What is the best thing about being in the community?
For me personally, it is the ability to post one message that will help tens if not hundreds of people. If there is a certain issue that one person is experiencing, the same could happen to hundreds or thousands of others. Posting an answer to one question could potentially help a large amount of other people who have the same problem. It's about being efficient. You don't spend a lot of time by helping each person individually, but you create one answer that helps a lot of people.
Being recognized is also a great feeling. It is always nice to hear a 'Thank you' after solving someone's problem. It helps you understand that what you are doing is useful to other people.
4. Which popular personality would you most like to meet & why?
I would really like to meet Arnold Schwarzenegger. The movie "Terminator 2" is one of my favourite ones and the role he played there is extraordinary, one of the best he has ever done. It would be very interesting to hear his English with a German accent in real life. Certain phrases that he pronounces in English sound funny, so it would be amusing to hear them live. I'd also love to ask him why on earth did he go into politics. A movie star who ended up being a governor - I just don't see the relation between the two. This will give me a better understanding of why certain people (sport stars, movie stars, musicians, etc.) go into politics. Which, in its turn, will help me to become a politician also (when I am old and grumpy and have nothing better to do).
how do i post a question? cant find it anywhere?

Prabhu Deva-Nayantara visit Guruvayur
By: Ramchander
Subscribe to Filmibeat
Sources say that Prabhu Deva prayed at the abode of the Sri Krishna temple on Wednesday morning around 7.20 PM. He worshipped the god for about 15 minutes after the morning 'Seeveli, the tradition taking the decorated deity in a procession in the sanctum sanctorum, says temple sources.
Nayantara did not enter the famous temple, as it restricts the non-Hindu devotees inside the temple. So, Prabhu Deva alone had darshan and received prasdam from the chief priest. Soon after that the couple left the sacred place of the Hindus.
It may be recalled that Prabhu Deva and Ramalatha were granted divorce on July 7. The choreographer-turned-director will marry Nayantara soon.

Pearce accepts resignation from new press secretary
Rep. Steve [auth] Pearce, R-Dist. 2, asked for and accepted the resignation of his new press secretary, Rebekah Stevens, saying her past had become a distraction.
"When I hired Miss Stevens, I hoped she could transition from activist to become an asset to the people of New Mexico," Pearce said in a statement. "It is now clear that major obstacles will prevent this. I asked for and accepted her resignation this morning."
Pearce said he held himself and his staff to the highest level of accountability, and any distractions that hindered his service to New Mexicans must always be addressed.
Prior to starting work with Pearce, Stevens was reportedly a conservative activist and controversial blogger for PolitixFireball. According to media reports, the PolitixFireball blog and Twitter accounts posted inflammatory remarks about state journalists, Republican politicians, political activists groups and members of both political parties.
Pearce's office announced Stevens as his new state press secretary Tuesday, replacing communications director Eric Layer, who left Friday to take a position as vice president of communications and member relations at the Association of Commerce and Industry.

The True Story of Christopher Columbus HTML version
How The Admiral Sailed Away
The agreement made between Columbus and the king and queen of Spain was signed on
the seventeenth of April, 1492. But it was four months before he was quite ready to sail
He selected the town of Palos as the place to sail from, because there, as you know,
Captain Pinzon lived; there, too, he had other acquaintances, so that he supposed it would
be easy to get the sailors he needed for his ships. But in this he was greatly mistaken.
As soon as the papers had been signed that held the queen to her promise, Columbus set
off for Palos. He stopped at the Convent of Rabida to tell the Friar Juan Perez how
thankful he was to him for the help the good priest had given him, and how everything
now looked promising and successful.
The town of Palos, as you can see from your map of Spain, is situated at the mouth of the
river Tinto on a little bay in the southwestern part of Spain, not far from the borders of
Portugal. To-day the sea has gone away from it so much that it is nearly high and dry; but
four hundred years ago it was quite a seaport, when Spain did not have a great many sea
towns on the Atlantic coast.
At the time of Columbus's voyage the king and queen of Spain were angry with the port
of Palos for something its people had done that was wrong—just what this was we do not
know. But to punish the town, and because Columbus wished to sail from there, the king
and queen ordered that Palos should pay them a fine for their wrong-doing. And this fine
was to lend the king and queen of Spain, for one year, without pay, two sailing vessels of
the kind called caravel's, armed and equipped "for the service of the crown"—that is, for
the use of the king and queen of Spain, in the western voyage that Columbus was to
When Columbus called together the leading people of Palos to meet him in the church of
St. George and hear the royal commands, they came; but at first they did not understand
just what they must do. But when they knew that they must send two of their ships and
some of their sailing men on this dreadful voyage far out upon the terrible Sea of
Darkness, they were terribly distressed. Nobody was willing to go. They would obey the
commands of the king and queen and furnish the two ships, but as for sailing off with this
crazy sea captain—that they would not do.
Then the king's officers went to work. They seized some sailors (impressed is the word
for this), and made them go; they took some from the jails, and gave them their freedom
as a reward for going; they begged and threatened and paid in advance, and still it was
hard to get enough men for the two ships. Then Captain Pinzon, who had promised
Columbus that he would join him, tried his hand. He added a third ship to the Admiral's
"fleet." He made big promises to the sailors, and worked for weeks, until at last he was
able to do what even the royal commands could not do, and a crew of ninety men was got

Raw Hamburger
Aggressively off timing, persistent throat clearing, alternating brutal and non sequitur punch lines drawling from a frowning mouth. With combed-over greasy hair atop a sweaty, contorted face, Gregg Turkington's anti-comedy alter ego Neil Hamburger asks the important questions; like "Why did god give Smash Mouth three top ten hits?" and "Why did Madonna feed her baby dog food?"
America's Funnyman has the uncomfortable answers, so offensive (imagine gags hinging on drug over doses, rape, and assorted meanness that could make Kathy Griffin flinch) and unexpected that his audiences are often shocked into laughter. It's a brand of question-and-answer comedy that, put simply, isn't for everyone.
They won't all be zingers when he performs at Crescent Ballroom. But that's his life. And it's all in a day's work for Neil Hamburger. *major entertainer* Mike H opens the show.

Hey, remember that lazy friend of yours who can't get rid of anything? The one who narrowly missed an opportunity to be on Hoarders? Yeah, he's moving this morning. And you promised him months ago that you'd help. And he's barely packed anything. And he has lots of heavy oak furniture, and no dolly. Also, you just puked in his armoire.
After a Friday night out with the boys, you awaken on Saturday to your girlfriend shaking you violently, hissing, "We're going to be late for my nephew's birthday party! And you promised you'd come if I let you go out last night!" Before you can even say "dumped," you're at a pizza place popularized by a large rodent, with screaming, wall-eyed children running circles around you. At least puking on the floor is an everyday occurrence at this joint.
Yeah yeah, we realize your grandma may not last another week and you'll be wracked with guilt if you cancel your weekend visit, but you're feeling half past dead yourself. Is it really a good idea to spend a day in a confined space with old folks who are already 9/10 of the way there?
Post-drinking downside to amusements parks: Much like Chuck E. Cheese, you're looking at another "screaming children" scenario. Upside: You're also looking at another "go ahead and puke anywhere" scenario. And trust us, with the sweltering heat, swarms of insects at every garbage can, and tubby guys in tank tops and bike shorts, there'll be plenty of those scenarios. That's not even taking into account feeling man enough to get on a ride. Don't feel that way. Just embrace your inner pussy.
There are many ways to spend two hours the day after a misguided night of debauchery. Sleeping, doing absolutely nothing, and talking to dinosaurs on the big white telephone spring to mind. Or you could spend 120 minutes listening to people bang trash can lids together. (And cursing whichever asshole relative gave you the $200 tickets as a birthday gift.)

Reviews for this host's other properties
Sabrina is a very nice person to talk with.
Had a cool conversation with her!
The appartment was nice and clean and very central and has the charme of the old city of Barcelona.
Would like to stay there again, when i visit Barcelona the next time.
The only thing, that is missing, is air conditioning, but you can sleep without, if you open the windows.
The apartment is situated in walking distance (ca 8min) to the Vatican,
It's spacious with 2 big bedrooms and one very small one with a kind of sofa bed-
Towels are there, bedsheets were fresh- a bottle of red wine and croissants for the morning welcomed us- the person called Mrs Anna was very helpful and welcomed us with cheer...
The elevator takes you the last floor and the flat is bright-
The only thing to recommend to the house keeper is a better cleaning- we did a lot while we were there, as buying washing liquid and sponges- cleaning the coffe mashine and i tried to remove the lime in the water boiler..
But besides that it's perfect
Thank you for making our stay so nice
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
It is a nice little apartment with good central location .
The communication with the owner Sabrina worked fine.
Nice apartment and nice host. Very patient even though we where almost an hour delayed for our arrival.
close to all the central attractions.
Sabrina was af great host. She gave us some details about rome and was Nice and sweet
We had a very nice stay in Rome. The apartment is located near the vatican. So it was a good starting point for all our activities.
Sabrina helped us to find a taxi from and to the airport which made it very easy to find the apartment. And she answered all our questions which we had before travelling there as far as it was the first time for us to book with Wimdu.
I can really recommend her as a host.
Very nice expirience. Very nice apartment in a perfect place. Sabrina was the perfect host.
I strongly recomend it.

Even Bangladesh fast bowler Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, when speaking on the eve of the second ODI against West Indies, said that getting their opponents out for 199 runs in the first match was 'too good', and maybe something that will not be repeated.
So when yesterday Bangladesh dismissed the tourists for 132 to beat them by 160 runs at the Sheikh Abu Naser Stadium here, West Indies skipper Darren Sammy seemed resigned to the fact that Bangladesh had outplayed them in a manner not thought possible, while insisting that there was fight left in them.
"They played some good cricket and they are showing us how to play one-day cricket on these pitches. They have assessed these conditions well, I guess they would know it, and they played accordingly," he said at the post-match press conference.
The ever-smiling and polite skipper identified his team's poor shot selection and the Anamul Haque-Mushfiqur Rahim partnership as the key to why they leave Khulna 2-0 down, after losing the first match of the five-match series on Friday by seven wickets.
"I think it's about being more selective. If you look at the kind of players we have, once we stay at the crease we are going to score runs, but we keep getting out," said Sammy. "If you look at the way the match went, we got two early wickets and then the captain [Mushfiqur] and Anamul, they came and put on a good partnership. In any cricket partnerships are very important. So far we haven't been able to put good partnerships together. And we haven't bowled as well as we could, so hence the result is 2-0 to Bangladesh."
As in the first game, West Indies were clueless against spin, not a new problem for the men from the Caribbean. In the first match they surrendered eight wickets for 97 runs to spin. Yesterday, the figure was 8 for 95.
"We have not rotated the strike against spin as much as we could over the last few years. But we get better at it when we spend time at the crease. So far none of our batsmen have done so. In order to score runs you must be present at the crease," said Sammy.
But Sammy hoped that a change of scenery in the hustle and bustle of Dhaka might help, and that they would have to improve in all departments to be competitive against the Tigers. "We are going to regroup. Once we go out and execute the way we know we can and have done in the past, we could beat any team. At the moment we are not doing that, we are losing. So we definitely have to do that quickly. In order to win the series we have to win all three games.
"Probably it's a good wake-up call for us and we'll come back harder. We are 2-0 down but we're not out. It would not be a wise thing to count us out because we have been in similar situations before and we have bounced back."
Even Bangladesh fast bowler Mashrafe Bin Mortaza, when speaking on the eve of the second ODI against West Indies, said that getting their opponents out for 199 runs in the first match was 'too good', and maybe something that will not be repeated.

NC supreme court outlaws video sweepstakes machines
Sweepstakes businesses in our state may be closing up shop starting Jan. 3 due to the banning of video sweepstakes machines.
On Dec. 14, the state supreme court unanimously upheld a state law banning video sweepstakes. The decision reverses a state court of appeals ruling that found the ban unconstitutional.
The state supreme court ruled on two cases that sought to overturn a 2010 law, banning the sweepstakes machines as a form of gambling.
The North Carolina supreme court said the law is a constitutional effort to close a loophole since the state banned video poker machines in 2007.
NewsChannel 12 spoke with Pitt County Sheriff Neil Elks about the new law and Connie Langley, a sweepstakes cafe owner who said she has put everything she owns into her business.
"At some point in time it will be our job to enforce the law and we're waiting to get a ruling from the attorney general's office on that action. Do we send them notice. do we send them certified mail or do we just walk in and take possession of the machines if they are still operating," Sheriff Neil Elks said.
"It's just heartbreaking. It's heartbreaking to me because it's basically taking every bit of income out of my household," Connie Langley, owner of Pirate's Loot Sweepstakes said.
Some said the recent ruling may be challenged on a federal level.

Arizona blocked from subsidizing state candidates facing privately funded foes
The Supreme Court stepped into another campaign finance controversy on Tuesday when it blocked Arizona from distributing campaign subsidies to publicly funded candidates facing big-spending opponents.
The justices granted a stay of a portion of the state's 12-year-old Clean Elections program, which authorizes public money for state candidates who bypass most private fundraising. The court stopped the state from providing "matching funds" to those candidates whose opponents are spending large sums of private money.
The court's action disrupts a funding scheme already well underway, with early voting beginning at the end of July for an August primary. One of those most hurt by the decision is Gov. Jan Brewer (R), who is a publicly funded candidate.

The Destination
An unlikely oasis sandwiched between prairie and desert, the Texas Hill Country stays true to its western roots with small-town charm amidst breathtaking scenery. Make Kerrville your home base for exploring the natural wonders of the region, whether you want to see the area's numerous caverns or go kayaking or tubing in the Guadalupe. Drive just outside of town and visit the YO—a working longhorn ranch—or have a luxury experience with a wine tasting at one of the many Hill Country vineyards. In town, browse the antique shops in historic downtown Kerrville, then visit the original James Avery store and showroom for a true taste of Texas.
The Digs
The Inn of the Hills Resort & Conference Center in Kerrville strikes a unique balance: Many of the rooms are newly renovated, but they retain rustic touches like local stone walls, exposed wood ceilings, and artistic ironwork balusters in the lobby. The rooms feature modern amenities like complimentary wireless Internet, a flat-screen television, microwave, and refrigerator. Start your day with a complimentary breakfast, then spend time in the courtyard, where peaceful fountains, bridges, and native landscaping surround a swimming pool and kiddie pool. At night, make your way to the lobby, where you'll find The Alpine Lodge Restaurant and Inn Pub—enjoy the fine dining and Southern hospitality before listening to live country music and dancing the night away, Texas-style.
"In addition to the bluebonnets, Indian paintbrushes and black-eyed Susans that blanket the roads, the Hill Country shirks Texas' reputation as being dry and flat, with rolling hills, giant oak trees, spring-fed creeks and flowing rivers."-- Lonely Planet

When I travel I inevitably run into or visit someone who was originaly from Milwaukee. I always find the stories of why they moved and the pursuits of their dreams fascinating. That said, on my last trip to New York I decided to bring my camera and start documenting some of these conversations. I've turned them into a series of mini-documentaries called "I'm From Milwaukee". The first one is on, former Milwaukee emcee, Adebisi.
You can also see Adebisi this Saturday at Mad Planet as he makes a trip home to rock a show with Signif and Amerikas Addiction. Fellow blogger and local celebrity, JC Poppe will be handling hosting duties while dj-duo Him & Her handle the music. I hear Him & Her are pretty radical.

Rainbow Note
From the Super Mario Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search
Retrieved from "https://www.mariowiki.com/index.php?title=Rainbow_Note&oldid=2202403"
Ads keep the MarioWiki independent and free :)
Rainbow Notes (sometimes called Music Notes) are multicolored items that appear in Super Mario Galaxy. They will usually appear when Mario grabs a ? Coin, although the ones in Gold Leaf Galaxy appear if Mario rings a bell with the Star Cursor. Afterwards, they will line up, and Mario will need to grab all of them. The background music also mutes when the notes are activated. Each note makes a different sound and together forms a short jingle or tune, typically from another game in the Mario franchise. If the player gets every note, Mario will get a prize, such as a 1-Up Mushroom. The notes are also used in a few levels where they need to be collected to get the star, such as the Hurry-Scurry Galaxy, the Gold Leaf Galaxy, and the Sea Slide Galaxy.
Rainbow Notes also reappear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear in Throwback Galaxy, Boo Moon Galaxy and in Puzzle Plank Galaxy and have the same function as in the first game.
They appear in Super Mario 3D Land as well with a similar purpose, activated by a P-Switch. If all of the Rainbow Notes are collected, Mario can earn a power-up if he is on his Small or his Super form, otherwise he earns a 1-Up Mushroom.
Themes played by Rainbow Notes[edit]
