I just had a conversation with a good friend of mine, Alex (pictured here), who said she eats Paleo for $6 to $7 a day. That's only $180 to $210 a month! She's basically made a science out of buying enough food and spending the least amount of money as possible – she's a whiz at saving money.
Anyway, I thought a lot of people could benefit from her expertise, as I seem to have none in this area; I sometimes spend $600 a month on food for myself alone. I like expensive items like smoked wild salmon, pre-marinated pastured pork chops, and organic dates that are like $12 a pound. But it's possible to eat well and cheaply like Alex. The thing is that you may have to skimp on quality, which sucks. For instance, the meats you buy may not be pastured or even organic, and your fruits and veggies might not be organic either. It's debatable at that point whether you're even eating Paleo, but in my opinion non-organic meats and produce are better than non-organic grains and pasteurized dairy any day.
Plus,there are certain fruits and veggies that are not necessarily much better when they're organic due to their low or nonexistent pesticide residues. This list of the "Dirty Dozen and Clean 15" tells you which items are best bought organic and which are unnecessary to buy.
Here's Alex's grocery list. Some items come from Whole Foods and some come from King Soopers (a conventional grocery store in Colorado), where you can find some organic foods and things are often cheaper.
Alex's Budget Grocery List
Non-organic prepared rotisserie chicken – $7/chicken
Non-organic avocados – $1 each (she doesn't buy them if they're more than that)
Organic sweet potatoes – $2/lb
Organic bananas – $.79/lb
Non-organic bulk pork chorizo – $5/lb
Non-organic omega 3 eggs – $3/dozen
Kale – $2.50/bunch
Lemons and limes – cheap
Olive oil
That's it. She's getting tons of protein, decent fats, enough carbs (she's very active), and tons of nutrients in her produce choices. Kale, as we all know, is chock full of vitamins and minerals, and so are sweet potatoes. Now, a disclaimer here is that Alex is my size, meaning she's basically a midget, so she doesn't eat much. She probably gets about 1,400 or 1,500 calories a day, so you may be spending more than she does if you're larger.
Here's her daily menu.
2 eggs
1/5 pound chorizo
baked sweet potatoes
1/4 of a rotisserie chicken
avocado (if she has it)
sweet potatoes
More rotisserie chicken
kale salad with olive oil and lemon juice
To add calories you could just add more olive oil, more avocado, more meat, more fruit, and/or more eggs. Yes, she's eating the same things all the time, but those foods are pretty delicious. You could mix things up by getting different meats on sale, different veggies, and other fruits on sale. You can also buy meat in bulk like I do and get a quarter of a cow for $4/lb. Alex supplements her diet with elk meat that her dad gives her, too.
This is just one person's way of eating Paleo on a budget. Any of you have any tips for doing Paleo on the cheap?

I've joined both a meat and veggie CSA. it's helped me to keep a high quality of food, and still pay less. I end up getting a variety of pasture raised meat for around $7 a pound, and the veggies cost $30 per week for a bushel bin. Plus it gives me a bit more variety. I also buy coconut oil in extreme bulk from sources like Tropical Traditions. and finally, by intermittent fasting one or two times a week, my food consumption goes down.
I'm at a place in my life where (thankfully) I can afford to purchase high quality, organic food and I usually don't even know what things cost that I buy…which can be quite embarrassing when you are recommending a product and are asked how much it costs????
This is an awesome example of how someone can eat a grain-free, paleo style diet on a budget…I think that the trade off of quality of ingredients is still hand over fist better than thinking you can't afford "paleo" and buying a whole mess of processed crap food.
Kudos to Alex!
I would be careful with Rotisserie Chickens. They have all kinds of hidden ingredients..including gluten sometimes and other grains, sugar, Modified food starch, MSG..etc. The list is long on most of the RC's. I was sad when I read that because they are cheap and juicy and generally very tasty. We don't eat them anymore, so just thought I would give you an FYI.
Although I could never survive on what Alex eats, it is possible to eat Paleo on a budget. I'm writing an e-book on this right now so stay tuned! A few things to keep in mind are that different cuts of meat cost less. Ground meat is often cheaper and can easily make a meal for a whole family. We only buy the dirty dozen organic but we do buy high quality meat simply because it defeats the purpose for my body to not eat it. A few meals that will be in my cookbook for under $10 (for a whole family) include squash spaghetti with ragu sauce, pork lettuce wraps, and zucchini boats. I always have enough left over in my recipes for lunch the next day. If you make a meal plan each week, you will save money. It's when you buy off your list that the cost goes up. I also try to stay away from baked Paleo goods as they tend to cost a lot to prepare.
I always say, you can pay now, with a little more expensive paleo food, or you can pay ALOT later, with thousands of dollars of medical co-pays from eating the standard american diet ;)
I guess it depends on how "strict" we are going to be about paleo. I think we all make deals with ourselves when it comes to cost. For example, I get non-grass fed beef often. The studies haven't shown huge benefits to grass fed beef over standard beef yet. The main thing is that it has a slightly higher content of omega-3's. Typically, I will look for minimally processed meats instead. Trader Joe's has some fantastic options for paleo on a budget!
Ragu sauce has A LOT of sugar in it, but I, too, pick my battles, and can't always buy the ideal.
I buy grass-fed/drug-free meats when i can, but sometimes I don't, and my results have still been very good.
Same for veggies. Organic is nice, but sometimes I don't care/want to spend the (significant)extra $.
I still think that to be Paleo-ish is WAY better than to eat the diet I used to (and that much of America does).
Like Kevin mentions above, I would like to see more studies of how grain-fed meat varies vs grass/pasture -only. I am not convinced there is a significant difference that is worth the large difference in priced. Hormones & drugs I am with you that they are to be avoided, corn-fed… not so much… I prefer science vs hunches.
I have no problem eating the same foods often. I typically eat organic chicken, organic broccoli, organic lettuce, and organic apples. Chicken thighs seem to be the best taste and meat for your money! Now that the farmers markets are back there is a little more choice but not always cheaper. It's hard to stay on a budget but not hard to stay close to tgat budget… Either way we are all doing ourselves and the world a great thing by eating healthy foods!!
Terrific article.
Adapt and overcome.
Do the best you can with what you got.
I always felt once I can shop at Wholefoods and not worry about prices, I've made it.
Not true.
Eating right on every budget takes a little planning and discipline.
Your bodies performance with be noticeable.
Forgive me fellow Marines,
Improvise, Adapt and Overcome.
As someone else said, be careful buying the rotisserie chicken. If it's from Whole Foods or somewhere similar it's probably okay regarding a lot of additives, but it may still contain gluten.
I think a better (and cheaper) solution would be to buy a whole raw chicken. They're usually around $5 each, and Costco sells two-packs for $10. They aren't all that difficult to roast yourself and you know exactly what you're getting on them.
Personally, I don't think I could eat such a limited diet.. typically if my budget is tight, I'll give up something else in order to have a wider variety of food.
@Peter Banta: I think when Stacey said "ragu" she didn't mean the name brand Ragu stuff made by Unilever. Here is an example of a great ragu recipe: http://www.grouprecipes.com/526/rich-beef-ragu.html
I hear what Peter and Kevin are saying about grain fed versus pasture fed beef. And believe me, the prices make me cringe, too, and I often compromise to stay in budget. However, when I ask myself why am I eating Peleo, I logically follow this question to the idea of the animals that I eat need to be eating what THEY were designed to eat also in order for me to be optimally healthy eating food that is optimally grown. That is where my thoughts go anyway. FWIW>
I am on a VERY tight budget and have made the leap to go Paleo. I've shopped Trader Joe's for decades, good times and lean times, and can easily find organic and non-organic products. I have a Fresh & Easy very nearby, so I pick up my normal grocery list from there AFTER I've hit the "99 Cent Only Store" first. Name brand bananas (7) and a name brand spinach salad, dried blueberries and almonds artichokes, raspberries, blueberries, bok choy and celery. Very fresh THAT day so I bought them to incorporate into my meal plan. And Trader Joe's ground beef is very good. Now to stock up on coconut oil. Sorry, this is getting long but here's my simple recipe for moist and flavorful homemade rotisserie chicken: Combine 1 Tbl salt, 1 tsp pepper and 1-2 tsp of a product from Penzeys called Trinidad Lemon Garlic Marinade. Rinse the chicken and dry inside and out with paper towels. Sprinkle seasonings inside the cavity, cover the outside with a bit of olive oil and rub seasonings on the outside. Allow chicken to sit 10-15 then set rotisserie for 45-60 minutes. Net cost under $5, under $3 when chicken is on sale. Delicious. Oh, and my local grocery store, Stater Bros store brand of pork sausage, next to $$$ Jimmy Dean and $$ Farmer John's, has no nitrates and less -$
Personally, I would ignore the arguments about spend more now, save on cancer later. The fact is, some people HAVE to cut corners, it's not a matter of wanting too. When there is not enough money, there is not enough money. It is truly a terrible socioeconomic issue in the country. That being said, I would go by the clean 15/dirty dozen lists when picking and choosing organic items. The chickens at conventional stores in Boulder are full of salt and plumpers. The ones at Whole Foods are NOT and are only 1-2 dollars more (in fact they were only $6 a chicken yesterday). Organic sweet potatoes, avocados and bananas aren't super important to eat organic if you had save money somewhere. I would honestly buy the organic chicken, organic eggs (again $3/dozen at Whole Foods), organic kale, and then get conventional of the other items. Just my two cents.
Be careful when choosing olive oil. Many cheap olive oils aren't pure olive oil; they're diluted with other oils (usually soybean) and some may even be 100 percent soybean oil with coloring and flavoring to make it seem like olive oil. There's no regulation whatsoever (in the U.S.) to ensure you're getting what you're paying for.
Here's a good resource for reputable olive oil: http://www.truthinoliveoil.com/great-oil/best-olive-oils
I just switched to McEvoy, and I can already feel and taste the difference. I guess it could all be in my head, but, when I eat crap oil (soybean or canola) something feels off, as though I can sense the inflammation, but I don't feel that way when I cook with McEvoy.
I just started the paleo plan and I am not buying organic!
Great post, and a great reminder that a huge budget isn't required! I would agree with Kelly and others, though, on choosing when to splurge on organic. Alex could buy conventional sweet potatoes at a third of the cost of organic (they are on the clean 15 list for low pesticide residue), and use the money saved to buy more quality chicken, pork, or eggs.
My family gets our veggies from Market on the Move. It's about $6 a week for 30lbs of assorted veggies that didn't make the cut (too close to being ripe, or not the right shape usually) for the buyers at the grocery stores. Mostly not organic, but if you're on a tight budget…
Great list of items, easy to mix and match items for new recipes. Like the chicken flavored ramen stir fry with non organic omega 3 eggs ;)
If you buy whole chickens, they usually have the heart and giblets tucked away inside. I take those out and freeze them separately for another meal. And you can use the bones for stock. A whole six dollar chicken can go a long way.
I mean it's all dependent on what you prioritize. I ENJOY cooking more than anything. I'm single (and yeah a dude). I LOVE getting creative with my 'paleo' based meals. I waste NO food. For example, I buy a pastured chicken for around 13 bucks. I cut it up and make four meals out of it. I make chicken stew with all the leftover bones and such. Without wasting any food (no food goes rotten), I spend anywhere from 450-500 dollars. However, this is what I value. Food and cooking is therapeutic for me, AND if it means cutting my alcohol content or my cable bill THEN by all means. If cost-cutting is what Alex values and she still maintains a better diet than 90 percent of Americans, THEN more power to her!
I always *love* (sarcasm) the "eat paleo now and SAVE SAVE SAVE ON HEALTH COSTS LATER" — well, I'm disabled and I have a food budget, if I'm very, very lucky, of about $200 a month.
I finally moved out of a highly complicated (not relevant here…) living situation. Just when I thought "hey, maybe I might be able to afford quinoa, etc., and I will be able to cook in a sanitary, safe environment" my boyfriend (who makes $90k a year) decides Paleo is the way to go. I think that's great, but he's not the one that has to come up with the cash for me to eat on my own.
I *get* Paleo is healthy, and I desperately want to be more healthy. However: I don't _get_ to make the choice of "LATER" costs…I live month to month, on less than $19k a year with well more than 1/3 of my income spent on housing.
So, yes: overall, Paleo 'as prescribed,' in the US, is a higher income lifestyle than mine.
Thanks for all the great tips listed above. I am ambitiously seeking better health and I am gluten intolerant, and with so many reports of people regaining their health through paleo I am reading up on it. But the cost!!
Again, many thanks!
Very inspiring plan ;)
But … She drinks tap water? No herbs or spices ?
And … NO RED WINE!?
I eat a Paleo Mediterranean Diet :)
I started paleo January 3rd and rarely buy organic. I do try to buy uncured meats like bacon and salami. The raw meat is rarely grass fed or organic. I do buy organic eggs. I have lost 15 pounds so far. When I read comments from those that are strict in terms of organic and grass-fed /no drugs I don't find my results any different. My energy levels seem like theirs. My weight loss is there. I feel much healthier. I don't think my issue in the past was pesticides, herbicides, fertilizer, drugs, hormones, etc. My problem was eating grains (alot), dairy (alot), sweets (not so much but still there), and just general processed foods such as stuff in a box or premade.
There is no denying that inexpensive quality meat consumption is a challenge. That's why I have started raising my own meat rabbits. Rabbits are a sustainable source of lean protein, plus I know exactly what the animal ate and how it was processed. Some people may be shocked by this but it is quite common in some countries. For me, it's worth all the trouble and the cost of feed vs. field of meat is not bad… Ends up around $3-4 per pound.

Well, AFAIK the 1968 version of ASCII also included control characters
00-1f and 7F.

ISO 646 did not include national variants , but provided for it. 12
positions were unassigned. Then a number of national bodies made their
national variant of the 6464 standard.

Yes 646 had the pisotions 23 and 24 as you describe, no other
characters could be assigned to these positions.
There was an International Reference Version (IRV) which was almost
identical to ASCII in then 1972 version, and then was changed to
be exactly ASCII in (say) 1991.

About the subset, this is not true. There are charsets in use today,
like the national 646 variants, that differ (in the 12 unassigned
positions). Not much used, but I get some emails in these encodings still.
Also Japanese and Chinese 14-bit encodings have
discrepancies (mostly the Ą)

8859-1 also defines 20-7E.

It is only C0 and C1 which are added. (and 7F)

There are a number of character sets, quite old, that had 2 bytes
per character, as in east-asian charsets,and a family of 8/16 bit
charsets, like ISO 6937, T.61 and some bibliographic charsets.
RFC 1345 has a number of these.
10646 is not defined like you describe it, the distinction is
not described in 10646. There is a distinction between (abstract)
characters and encoding, though, but that was always present in
ISO coded character sets.

I belive UTF-8 is 1 to 6 octets.

I think that is a 8859-1 centric view. Anyway UTF-8 was explicitely
made to preserve all codes in US-ASCII. There are encodings around
of 10646 that are more like gibberish in 8859-1; you could use that
if this is a goal (...).
CEN/TC304 has made a guide on character sets with some more info
on both 7/8-bit and 10646, but it is a bit European centric, with
not much mention of encodings used in East-Asia and other parts
of the world. It will be available via http://ww.stri.is/tc304/
but I am not sure it is there yet.

Aberdeen 1-0 Inverness CT
- From the section Football
Aberdeen striker Scott Vernon came on as a late substitute to score the winner and inflict a first defeat of the season on Inverness.
Caley Thistle goalkeeper Dean Brill twice denied the Dons in the first half, diverting goal-bound efforts from Cammy Smith and Michael Hector.
Smith later reacted sharply to clear Josh Meekings' header off the line.
But Vernon's first goal of the season gave the Dons a first home victory over Inverness since 2011.
Terry Butcher's side remain top of the Premiership on goal difference, three points ahead of Aberdeen in third.
Vernon's brilliant volley on the turn, after skilfully chesting the ball, followed an Aberdeen free-kick which had been put into the Inverness penalty box.
It will boost the English forward's confidence and, in the absence of their usual talisman Niall McGinn, encourage a Dons team that has failed to score in four of their eight games this season.
It took Inverness 18 meetings with Aberdeen to record their first victory over the Dons in 2008, but in recent times the tables have turned.
Butcher's men defeated the Pittodrie side on the last two occasions so it never looked too promising that it would be against the Highlanders that Aberdeen would get their first home league win since the opening day of the season.
However, Derek McInnes's charges might have taken a first-half lead had it not been for an inspired performance by Brill.
Much has been said in the past week about Butcher's desire to extend the stay of the on-loan Luton Town man at Inverness, who nearly got his fifth clean-sheet of the season here.
He dived low to his left to beat away Smith's powerful drive, denying the 17-year-old a second senior goal - his first was against Caley Thistle last season.
Englishman Brill showed strong wrists again when Aberdeen's own loanee, Reading's Hector, rose to firmly meet a Jonny Hayes delivery at the back-post. The bulleted effort was goal-bound until Brill diverted it over for a corner.
Inverness failed to fashion many chances in what was generally a poor game to watch for spectators, but Aberdeen's Smith did crucially clear off his line when Graeme Shinnie's delivery was met by the head of Meekings.
The Inverness players claim it crossed the line but no goal was given, and it was left to Vernon to replace Smith and subsequently fire the winner.

The Campaign For Liberty reports...
A vote could occur today on two amendments introduced to prevent the indefinite detention of American citizens as currently written into the National Defense Authorization Act, S. 1867.
Senate Amendment (SA) 1126 would "clarify" Section 1031 to explicitly state within the section that the authority of the military to detain persons without trial until the end of hostilities does not apply to American citizens.
SA 1125 would limit the mandatory detention provision in Section 1032 to persons captured abroad, not in America.
While there are certainly still problems with the indefinite detention of any persons without trial in a seemingly endless "war on terror," both of these amendments will remove the worst offending provisions against American citizens and prevent turning America into a battlefield.
Please contact your senators ASAP to demand they support SA 1125 & 1126 to the National Defense Authorization Act to prevent the indefinite detention of American citizens. Phone numbers of your Senators are provided when you are logged in to our Not Afraid campaign, and you can also fire off a letter.

Here's what I know:
- Automatic B3
- TB is clean
- Airflow plate is clean
- ISV is good
- TPS is good
- No vacuum leaks
- No broken wires
- Car has EGR (cali car)
- If I unplug the yellowish/tan plug (WOT??) the idle goes to 1500 and holds.
- Doesn't change if I unplug the CTS, ISV, CSV, EGR, O2 sensor, or anything else.
It runs fantastic! However, when in park or foot off of the gas, the idle surges up and down a few hundred RPM. I swapped throttle bodies hoping it was a TPS and it wasn't that.
Any ideas?

Although this track doesn't classify as groundbreakingly innovative, it still classifies as a banger. I guess this is another track that Axwell adds his name to to get his music to number 1 on Beatport, but I'm happy he does because it opens my eyes to music I would have never heard otherwise. This track was created by Ivan Gough (one half of TV Rock) & Feenixpawl with the beautiful vocals by the amazing Georgi Kay. Definitely one for the sets. Make sure to buy this new Axtone release on Beatport. Enjoy
In My Mind (Axwell Mix) – Ivan Gough & Feenixpawl ft. Georgi Kay – In My Mind (Axwell Mix)
Bonus: I'm sure most of you have heard this preview, but if not, definitely one of my favorite up and coming tracks by the new artists Quilinez on Size Records.

Katz Americas coasts to success with Google Apps
April 29th, 2013 | Published in Uncategorized
Editor's note: Our guest blogger is Tom Muraca, Director of Marketing at Katz Americas, the largest manufacturer of beverage coasters in North and South America. See what other organizations that have gone Google have to say.
We weren't always such a large company - we grew quickly through a handful of mergers over the last few years - and when we finally had a chance to come up for air, we realized our technology hadn't kept up with us. We were stumbling along with a fractured email and collaboration platform built around Microsoft Exchange 2003 and a few file-sharing servers. It was expensive and unreliable, especially for a company without a dedicated IT department. Upgrading our hosted system didn't make financial sense, and Microsoft Office 365 didn't win our team over. Google Apps did both, and its stability and security features were especially attractive. We decided to make the switch to Google Apps in September of 2011, and with help from Dito, our Google Apps Reseller, we were up and running by January of 2012.
Google Apps has helped us streamline and modernize our day-to-day work. By using Google Drive, we've cut the average time it takes to deliver an estimate and mocks to a customer from one week to just three days. Instead of sending different versions of huge files around by email, we create a single shared folder on Drive and house each proof there. That way, we can easily share, edit and collaborate on our work as a team in less than half the time it took before.
The Gmail and Google Drive mobile apps have changed how we interact with potential customers and sell our product when we're on the road. Now, I can pull up a design on my phone while I'm speaking to a customer at an industry event or even create a rough prototype on the spot. I can also add their information to my contacts, get a quote started for them immediately, and follow up via email within minutes of finishing our conversation. Google Apps lets us give our customers on-the-spot, personal service, and that gives us a huge advantage over the competition.
Google Apps has been the keystone of our revamped company strategy at a time of significant change. The way I see it, it's also just the beginning: our employees are constantly finding new features and sharing their favorite use cases, so I can only imagine the benefits we'll see a year from now. In the meantime, we'll get back to focusing on our core business - protecting tabletops from condensation and spills with surfboard-shaped coasters (and some normal shaped coasters, too).

UTSA Raises the Bar, Will Raise $175 Million for 'Top Tier' Status
UTSA President Ricardo Romo is setting the bar higher today, as he pledged to raise another $55 million for the University's 'Top-Tier Campaign,' 1200 WOAI news reprots.
"I am confident that we will meet our new $175 million milestone because3 San Antonio has already been very generous to us," Romo told the Greater Chamber of Commerce. "This new goal is a commitment to taking the next tangible step in our journey to Tier One status."
Romo had vowed to raise $120 million by 2015, but that goal was achieved two years early.
"Any good leader will tell you that when a goal is reached, you set another goal," Romo joked.
The money has already supported 135 scholarships, 26 endowed faculty positions, and nine new research centers or institutes.
UTSA is competing with several other major Texas Universities to become recognized as a 'Tier One' school, which brings with it research contracts, and top professors and students.
He points out that 70% of the 5,000 students UTSA graduates each year stay in the San Antonio area, and the UTSA annual economic impact is more than $1.2 billion.
Romo cites support from Rackspace co-founder Graham Weston, who's foundation has contributed more than $600,000 in open cloud computing hardware and recently invested in four new professorships in open cloud computing.
"Graham Weston's gift is helping UTSA specialize in the technology of the future...right here in San Antonio," Romo said.

Geezer Butler Provides Update On Black Sabbath's Tour
While at the NAMM (National Association of Music Merchants), Black Sabbath's Geezer Butler was interviewed by Eddie Trunk for Hartke (via Metal Insider). In that interview, he not only provided information on Black Sabbath's upcoming tour but may have accidentally revealed that Rage Against the Machine will be getting back together.
He confirmed that there will be a new Black Sabbath album (13), their first with Ozzy in 35 years, this June. The band might also hit the US for a tour, after previously announced international dates in the spring and early summer.
He said: "We start at the end of April in New Zealand, then we go to Australia, then Japan. June, we'll be promoting the album, then July and August [is] USA. Then October is South America and Europe in November and December."
The tour will be strictly Black Sabbath and not a part of Ozzfest.
When asked if the drummer on the road will be Rage Against the Machine's Brad Wilk (who recorded on the album) or Tommy Clufetos, he replied: "We're not sure yet. We don't know beause I think Brad's got commitments with Rage Against The Machine. So it'll probably be either Tommy or Brad, depending on their commitments."
Tom Morello previously said that RATM would not be getting back together, but that doesn't seem to be the case here.

`Property Owners' Are Rising From Russia's Economic RubblePaul Craig Roberts
While Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev struggles with the problems of the failing Soviet economy (and political system), disputing the course and pace of change with reformers, the problem is being solved by plunder. Officials of the old order are privatizing the economy by turning its pieces into their private property and diverting state resources to more efficient uses. Everyone is in en the act--factory managers, ministry officials, local and regional Communist Party secretaries, state shopkeepers, even KGB officials.
From my visits to the Soviet Union and from conversations with Soviet and republic officials, former members of Gorbachev's presidential council, and economic reformers such as Stanislav Shatalin, it is clear that the unofficial privatization under way takes a rich variety of shapes. Reforms, such as leasing and the right to establish cooperatives, together with the breakdown in Kremlin authority, let well-placed individuals use various devices to convert state property to their own. For example, cooperatives are created that have parasitical relationships to state enterprises and exploit the enterprises' resources. Other state properties are converted into joint stock companies, which in turn create a bank. The bank buys the shares, and the new ownership of the companies is necessarily murky, because of Soviet laws restricting private ownership.
Other conversions are more straightforward. A newly created cooperative rents equipment, such as machinery or trucks, from a state company. The more efficient private use of the equipment generates profits that can be used as bribes to continue the practice.
SLICK SWITCH. Once started, this process permeates every corner of the economy. For example, workers buy burned-out light bulbs from peddlers for a few kopeks, then switch them for good ones in their workplaces. The good ones are sold for a handsome profit. Other enterprising workers use factory machinery to make parts or products for private sale and commandeer trucks for private deliveries.
Officials who control resources and budgets can always succeed in diverting some part from official purposes. Such diversions have long characterized the Soviet system, but they grew in importance as the economy became integrated through the black market as well as through Gosplan, the state planning agency. By Brezhnev's time, many government officials had become virtually independent, managing state resources for their own benefit. When Gorbachev came to power, he discovered that he had little more control than medieval kings had over the counts and dukes whoonce were the king's appointed officials.Glasnost and perestroika accelerated the disintegration of the official economy. The chaos generated by ineffective reforms and diminishing central authority created new opportunities for state officials to convert public resources into their private property.
The Kremlin has been powerless to stop this process. The competing jurisdictional claims of Soviet, republic, and local governments prevent any effective government response to the problem of property. Tired of the official system's failures, people are disengaging from it and seeking workable solutions. Increasingly, mandated state deliveries are ignored while managers find alternative distribution channels. This exercise of initiative results in people behaving as if they were owners and creates a fertile ground for the enclosure of the communist manor. We are witnessing the transformation of the Soviet economy through the same unofficial means that created private property out of feudalism.
CIVIL WAR? So far, private property is emerging without violence--the fire and sword of Karl Marx's rhetoric. Recently, news accounts reported that the KGB has warned its foreign stations around the world that civil war in the Soviet Union is imminent. Violence over seceding republics is not out of the question, but the Kremlin lacks the ability to forcibly recentralize economic power usurped over the years by the system's officials. Not only do the unofficial fiefdoms overlap official structures but government officials who are turning themselves into private owners are unlikely to enforce the state's strictures against their own activities.
Central planning failed because it could not organize resources with enough efficiency to compete with the rewards generated by the black market. The planners did not focus the managers on the creation of values but onthe fulfillment of output quotas measured in physical units, such as number, weight or, in the case of housing, square meters under construction. The official economy, notorious for combining more valuable inputs into less valuable outputs, produces much substandard and useless junk that counts toward plan fulfillment. When the same resources are privately organized, real values emerge. Indeed, the massive Soviet black market owes its existence not to taxes as in other economies, but to the irrational incentives of the planned economy.
Gorbachev's reforms failed officially, but they succeeded in spurring the de facto privatization already under way. A propertied class is emerging, and if possession is nine-tenths of the law, it may be permanent.

When I was in college, I participated in numerous demonstrations. I was even arrested by the police. I have always boasted about that incident. I remain immensely proud of what I did and I have never regretted it. We were protesting the U.S. invasion of Iraq. It was 2003. Hundreds of students and members of our community gathered downtown and "occupied" a central bridge connecting two cities. Some students moved from the sidewalks into the roadway and occupied that space, snarling traffic, forcing bystanders to chew upon our message. Crudely painted onto cardboard placards, we proclaimed the inauguration of "No Business as Usual." We wanted to shake things up, because we thought that the military invasion of a sovereign country thousands of miles away was a big deal. We wanted to force every citizen to take a stand on the issue, and if any man or woman came to find that the invasion of Iraq was foolish or ill-conceived (which it was), then they could join us in song, and in step. We wanted them to contact their representatives in Congress and ask them to oppose the invasion.
I did not join my friends in the middle of the bridge's occupied roadway that evening, but I also did not leave the bridge's sidewalk. The combined police forces of two cities plus the state troopers tried to force us to "go back to campus," as they condescendingly told us, but I refused to move. So one officer kneed me in the back, pushed me to the ground, and tied my hands behind my back with plastic twist-tie "handcuffs." We, the arrested, were led into a police van and later escorted to the county jail. We spent only a few hours in jail. This was because our fellow protestors who returned to campus after the rally rushed into the college's dining hall and solicited bail money from our classmates who were eating dinner. They raised hundreds of dollars in mere moments. We were freed from jail before midnight. The whole experience, we found, had re-energized our movement to oppose the war by all means necessary. In the end, we did not hold off President Bush's "shock and awe" campaign, and we did not prevent the hundreds of thousands of deaths that have followed. The war has sucked up billions of dollars of our tax money - including those I ritually pay, even while I do not support the ends to which that money is going.
Yet one thing I do support paying higher taxes for is SUNY, the State University of New York. I believe that our society benefits immensely when all New Yorkers have access to low-cost public higher education.
College should not only be for the wealthy. Private college tuitions are now bulging well past $50,000 a year, and financial aid for low-income and minority students is drying up. Thankfully, for those families that cannot afford private college, the State of New York offers a public university system. We have 4 major research universities, plus 60 other SUNY campuses, including 4-year residential colleges and numerous two-year county community colleges. I won't lie. It's a system bloated with bureaucracy and marred by mismanagement. The SUNY (mis)management has tried to cast all the blame for this on the state. But they are wrong.
Here's the deal. SUNY Chancellor Nancy Zimpher likes bureaucracy. She works in a big "castle" in downtown Albany - the building actually used to be the headquarters for a regional railroad company. She is surrounded by a multitude of administrative staff. Indeed, even as the Stony Brook administration is forcing academic departments to consolidate into "shared service centers," with the ultimate goal, no doubt, of trimming down on personnel - (this will be a disaster for students) - Ms. Zimpher and her staff continue to rake in outrageous salaries for doing what they do back at the castle.
The SUNY "castle"
(source: Wikipedia)
What do they do exactly? One thing is clear. Chancellor Zimpher has spent much of the past few years grandstanding about the need to privatize SUNY. Stony Brook President Sam Stanley has stood beside her all along as she grandstanded, and he's done a bit of grandstanding himself, despite continuous (if not complete) student and faculty opposition to the plan. Despite all the protests, Stony Brook has already broken ground for the planned construction of a hotel on campus. Just the kind of revenue-making venture our students will profit from, he reasons. And heck, students might even get jobs there cleaning rooms after they graduate!
One of my favorite Stony Brook protests, from March 2010
This summer SUNY and the state came together to pass legislation raising tuition. Between selling-out SUNY to private development and now raising tuition on New York's working-class families, SUNY and the state believe we can improve the quality of our public(?) higher education system.
This brings me back to Wall Street. On Wednesday night I attended the rally/march at Liberty Plaza in downtown Manhattan. I visited the inspiring encampment of hundreds of people from all walks of life who are presently living there. These are people firmly committed to bringing about radical change in the way wealth is distributed in our society. The rally/march coincided with the National Student Walk-Out. On SUNY campuses across New York, students walked out of classes and held protests against newly-increased tuition and fees.
I support these students. And I support the occupation of Wall Street. And for me, there is little difference between the two. First of all, the occupants of Liberty Plaza say that "We are the 99%" (in contradistinction to the wealthy 1% of Americans who control an unequal share of political power). SUNY students, too, are the 99%. We are not the boys and girls of Harvard and Yale. SUNY students come from middle-class and working-class backgrounds. Some students simply cannot afford the burden of increased tuition and fees. Heck, some grad students, like myself, are frustrated with paying higher fees for services we do not even regularly use. The fees I pay each semester, I should note, come out of the money that the state gives me to teach SUNY students. After subtracting fees and health care, what I earn is well under the federal poverty line for a household of two (myself and my partner). I believe I am eligible, if it ever comes to such a point, to apply for food stamps and receive other social welfare services from the state and federal governments. After you subtract my fees, health care costs, and taxes, I make just enough to pay for rent and buy groceries. If you are a parent thinking of sending your child to SUNY, just remember that s/he may spend much of his/her academic career being taught by highly-educated, well-trained professionals like myself - really awesome grad students - who, by the way, make only about $10,000 a year. If I can't ever make it into class, assume it is because I am waiting in line at the Department of Social Services to sign up for food stamps.
What about student debt? Here is another point of convergence between students and the occupation of Wall Street. Student debt is astronomical. Students at Liberty Plaza in Manhattan hold cardboard placards calling on the government to forgive them of tens of thousands of dollars they owe in student debt. Who profits from saddling young, educated professionals with thousands of dollars of debt? Banks and crediting agencies do. Students and young professionals do not.
Third, the unemployment rate is really high. Around 10% of all Americans are unemployed. But it is more like 20% for youth ages 16-24. Stony Brook students don't have much to look forward to after they receive their degrees. Some unemployed youths are making their beds at Liberty Plaza, advertising to their world their desire for work. Stony Brook graduates are going to end up there too. Some pundits say these young folks would be better off applying for jobs than squatting in a park. But will Stony Brook graduates really be happy enough cleaning rooms at Hotel Stony Brook for minimum wage when they've got a bachelors degree stuffed into their back pocket, just collecting lint?
The situation for Stony Brook students is unacceptable. It is time to Occupy Stony Brook.
One of my best memories of college was joining hands with my friends and marching in the streets. One of my best memories was getting handcuffed, thrown into the paddy wagon, and later getting bailed out by my classmates. From these experiences I learned a lot more about how to speak and how to listen, how to pull myself back onto my feet after getting knocked down, than I ever learned in any college course. Granted, I had amazing professors. They marched with us. They supported us when we ditched class to protest. They even took time during office hours to talk about the movement, to offer advice, and to hear our jumbled thoughts and help us make sense of everything.
That was 2003. This is 2011. A new generation of students are raising their collective voice. I now sit on the other side of the desk, as an instructor. Now is my opportunity to be a mentor, as my professors were when I needed them the most.
Stony Brook students will have to make hard choices for themselves. They can put their tuition and fees to work by taking greatest advantage of the services that the university has to offer: by taking awesome classes with passionate professors, using all the research capabilities of our libraries, engaging in organized athletics, joining student clubs (or starting new ones), writing for the newspaper, heck, just having an awesome time because that's what college is all about.
But if any students choose to walk out of class, I will support them. If they camp out in front of (or inside of) the Administration Building, I will support them.
Stony Brook students are the 99%. I am the 99%, too. Who are the 1%? The 1% work in the administration building on campus, and inside the big "castle" in Albany. They spend all their time trying to come up with the most creative ways to raise revenue for SUNY. But an alternative solution has been sitting underneath their noses all along. They are just too cowardly to grasp it: Tax millionaires and corporations.
If either our state or our federal government (or both) would simply raise taxes on the wealthiest 1% of people and corporations (no, corporations are not people), we could raise billions of extra dollars every year. If New York State passed such a law, we could put some of the money into SUNY. In fact, if we as a community shared the conviction that public higher education should always be accessible to even the poorest of the poor, and that tuition and fees should be capped at a certain level, we could force the government to use extra tax revenue from millionaires and corporations to subsidize students' education.
And why not? Why should we make low-income New Yorkers live on the edge of the socio-economic precipice? Why should they have to worry about balancing tuition and rent, tuition and food, tuition and debt?
I can't tell you why the 1% refuses to pay higher taxes to support the education of the other 99%. That doesn't make sense to me. Everyone in this state should have equal access to an equally good education; it should not matter what our background is, what language we speak, what kind of apartment we live in, what gender we are, what color our skin is. Why can't we have a world where there is just a 100%, rather than a 1% and a 99%?
The time for dialogue with the administration is over. Now is the time for dialogue with students, faculty, staff, friends, family members, supporters, and those on the fence. Right now. Students might decide to occupy Stony Brook. They might not. But if they do, we all stand to learn so much from the experience. We will not get paid big bucks for teaching each other at the occupation. We will not receive academic credit for anything we learn there. We cannot put this on our transcripts, and it probably won't appear in our letters of recommendation. We won't be adding this kind of thing to our resumes and our cover letters. Look, we won't get immediate benefits out of this; no college degree or new job will just suddenly appear out of thin air because of this.
But we will teach. And we will learn. We will learn from one another; we will all become teachers and we will all be as students. We will make our voices heard. We have the opportunity to dream up a new vision for SUNY. We just need to say what we want, and keep saying it until we get it.
We are the 99%.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX set to open lower as weak oil prices weigh
Dec 2 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a lower opening for Canada's main stock index on Tuesday as weakness in oil prices weighed on markets.
December futures on the S&P TSX index were down 0.05 percent at 7.15 a.m. ET.
No major economic events are scheduled for Tuesday.
Canada's main stock index declined on Monday as sluggish data raised concerns about the global economic recovery and shares of energy producers remained weak despite a rebound in oil prices.
Dow Jones Industrial Average e-mini futures were up 0.2 percent at 7.15 a.m. ET, while S&P 500 e-mini futures were up 0.26 percent and Nasdaq 100 e-mini futures were up 0.17 percent. (Morning News Call newsletter link.reuters.com/nex49s; The Day Ahead newsletter link.reuters.com/mex49s)
Spanish oil company Repsol is seeking partners to invest $4 billion to export natural gas from North America to Europe, which is looking to cut its dependence on supplies from Russia, said two sources familiar with the matter.
The pace of growth in the Canadian manufacturing sector held steady in November, matching an 11-month high from October, as exports jumped to their highest level in over a year, data showed on Monday. Continued...

Yet what the Haisla made clear two years ago is that for all of the company's efforts, opponents remain willing to go to remarkable lengths to undermine Gateway. In the fall of 2011, Enbridge allowed its legal interest in the land chosen for its terminal – called a map reserve – to expire. (Although the map reserve did not give Enbridge formal title to what remains a parcel of Crown land, it did effectively cordon off the area for the company to pursue Gateway.)
In the expiry, the Haisla saw an opening. If they could convince the B.C. government to earmark the land for them instead, they would have the ability to influence who used it.
"We didn't want the land for Enbridge. We actually wanted the land there for projects that were approved by Haisla," Mr. Ross says.
They weren't expressly trying to kick Enbridge out, Mr. Ross says. But the Haisla stood to deal a potentially fatal blow to Gateway, since the project's regulatory application was predicated in part on environmental studies of that exact piece of land. The Haisla opened talks with the B.C. government, kicking off a secretive months-long process that saw the involvement of provincial ministers and, ultimately, the federal government. Enbridge eventually sent high-level executives to Victoria, to demand the land not be plucked away – and eventually, the Haisla were told Ottawa supported the Enbridge effort. Ultimately, they failed.
The Haisla did win a partial victory: Enbridge no longer has its name on the map reserve. That parcel is now listed as "neutral," giving the Haisla some ability to influence how it is eventually used. And the Haisla themselves are eager, if there is an opening, to try again to take it over.
"We made it clear to everyone that at some point," Mr. Ross says, "we're coming back after that land."
Eroding relationships
The Yekootche First Nation make their home northeast of Fort St. James, B.C., an area familiar with the energy industry thanks to its rich reserves of natural gas. When Enbridge first came to discuss Northern Gateway nearly a decade ago, the Yekootche were open to talking. First Nation representatives flew to Edmonton to tour Enbridge's operational centre. They built trust with the Enbridge team. Things were going well.
Then Enbridge went dark.
Enbridge first contemplated sending oil west in 1998; Gateway was formally announced in 2004. But when Enbridge asked for firm commitments to the project, oil shippers balked. Building a pipeline across B.C.'s difficult political and legal landscape seemed too difficult. Besides, the U.S. seemed like a better market. So in 2006, Enbridge put Gateway on hold. The Yekootche were left alone.
That changed in 2008, before the financial crisis, when the oil patch was in an expansion frenzy and eager to diversify its markets. The regulatory risk was still there, but suddenly the reward seemed worth it. Gateway was revived. The Yekootche were back in demand.
But this time, the project was run by a new set of unfamiliar faces.
It was "relationship building, a sense of abandonment, relationship-building, assurances that abandonment would not occur again, and then a new team," said a person on the Yekootche negotiating team.
The second team was led by Roger Harris, who for two years served as an Enbridge vice-president on Gateway. The list of failings he recites is long. Gateway is a "story of what they did that continued to erode their credibility over time," he says. He adds: "It's the loss of credibility that becomes the loss of your project."
He describes an unconcerned top executive: Mr. Daniel, who only met with Mr. Harris once, he says, and only to discuss a trip to the coast that Mr. Harris says he was subsequently uninvited from after providing unwanted advice. (Mr. Daniel did not respond to requests for an interview.) Early in the 2000s, a group of Treaty 8 First Nations came to Enbridge to discuss equity participation – partial ownership – in the pipeline. Enbridge declined. When the company subsequently revived the idea amid rising opposition, it sought to tie First Nations support to their ownership share, an idea Mr. Harris had warned against. It looked too much like buying love.Report Typo/Error

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
One of My Most Rambling Random Posts Ever
My school had some stupid rule that, in order to walk in graduation, you had to go to this all night anti-drinking after graduation party. And I know what you're thinking, how could they enforce that, since you had already graduated? They said they wouldn't release your diploma or your transcripts unless you went and stayed. Anyway, I'm concerned now because I don't really remember it at all. I just remember not liking it too much.
Maybe somebody spiked the punch. Don't look at me.
And I also remember that it was on a boat. And the only reason for that was probably so that we couldn't leave early. You'd have to be a really good swimmer. They probably just saved money on putting armed guards outside.
And, I could be wrong, but I think it was a relatively new thing, back then, that they were making grads go to these lame all-night parties. This was about 10 years ago. So I don't know if, before that, there was all sorts of after-graduation craziness going on. Drunk driving accidents or something. Probably not in my town. Cow tipping, maybe. I don't know.
When my little cousin graduated from high school, I bought him goldschlager. The gold flakes make it look kind of celebratory. And it seemed more appropriate for a guy that champagne, which can kind of seem girly. (Don't tell that to all the rap guys drinking Cristal.) Not that I advocate buying liquor for minors. You don't know, maybe he was 21. Some people take a long time to get through high school.
A few months ago, I went to my college roommate's bachelorette party. Her little sister, who was like my little sister all through college, said to me, "I remember when you used to buy me alcohol." I said, "I did?" (Don't worry, you can keep reading, the statute of limitations has passed.)
And she said, "Yeah, and you always told me, 'Some day, you can buy alcohol for someone else, just like someone else bought it for me.'"
And I knew she was right, because that's totally something I would say.
So, I had to ask, "Well, did you?" And she assured me that she did, complete with the pay-it-forward message I had given to her. See, it's just like I have my own little Haley Joel Osment thing going on.
And what good have you done for society lately?

I went to one of those locked-in alcohol-free parties after high school, which was more than 10 years ago. What I remember most was, the next morning, I went through a drive through for some breakfast and when I got to the window, I didn't have any money! I was in a mild panic, wondering if I should just drive off, but then I remembered that I had, of all things, a two-dollar bill in a pocket of my wallet. Later that summer, that place went out of business. I don't think I paid anything forward to them.ReplyDelete
Cow tipping! We did that in my hometown too! HEE!!!ReplyDelete
We ended up not having a party because our illustrious Senior Class President didnt plan one so I ended up going somewhere with my boyfriend at the time and . . . .ReplyDelete
At least you remember it!ReplyDelete
I actually enjoyed my high school's all-night grad party. It was probably more fun that I would've had if we'd gotten drunk.ReplyDelete
I graduated from high school in the 1970s. The cops came to our party, knew we had beer, checked in, and left. No cow tipping (alas), and no dead teenagers. But this creepy guy named Scott seemed to think I would be willing to be his "new special friend" for the evening. Not.ReplyDelete

Raffael Reviews Denim of Virtue Eskimo Jeans
Posted by Admin under Uncategorized | Permalink | | Leave A Comment
Denim of Virtue is a premium denim brand manufactured in LA. "We didn't want to just throw ourselves back into the 'premium denim' market without delivering a product that was truly luxe and worthy of the name. That was part of our Virtue… giving our customer denim that feels so good on they won't want to take it off, and really introducing looks that stand out in the marketplace," says the brand's designer, Elizabeth Bae. And make no mistake, she they're living up to their manifesto.
Sourcing the very best denim fabrics from around the globe, DoV developed new techology, "X-Fit"—a four-way stretch material that provides an unparalleled slimming effect. They looked to Italy's Candiani denim mill for durability and France's soft Tencel-based "Cool 12″ material for their relaxed fits (so comfortable it's pretty much impossible to take off). Finally, for their coated denim styles, they imported specialty fabric from Spain that was treated with an uber-soft wash.
What was your first thought when you tried them on?
Comfort factor. I'm used to wearing raw denim. These are more like wearing a soft moccasin after years of wearing strong tough shoes.
Where/when would you wear these?
I've been wearing them to brunch, for walks along the waterfront in Williamsburg… they have the perfect look and feel amazing. I've dubbed them my "resort jeans".
How's the fit?
I really like the medium rise with a tapered slim fit. They have the perfect amount of stretch and are really comfortable. The contrast cuffs are another visual bonus.
Spec Sheet:
Style: ESKIMO
Wash 751 DI (Contrast)
75% cotton 23% Polyester 2% spandex
Tapered slim fit
Contrast cuffs
From rise 10″

Aviation firm to expand into €10.5m facility near Safi
Medavia, the aviation company, will be investing €10.5 million to build a new hangar and office block as part of its plan to expand its operations here.
The new 5,000 square metre hangar will be flanked by a 2,000 square metre office block, which will form part of the new aviation park on the outskirts of Safi.
Medavia, which forms part of the Libyan Arab Foreign Investment Company (Lafico), is mainly involved in the transportation of personnel and cargo from Tripoli International Airport to desert oilfields. It also provides specialised aircraft maintenance and administration.
The infrastructural works for the aviation park, spanning over two hectares, will cost the government €7 million and will include the construction of aprons and taxi ways. They will be linked to the airport's main runway by March next year.
The government will also be helping Medavia out in its €10.5 million investment through assistance from Malta Enterprise. However, the amount and type of assistance to be granted was not divulged.
Last year, €80.4 million worth of aid was administered by Malta Enterprise but the amount of money that went to individual companies was never disclosed.
Prime Minister Lawrence Gonzi said Medavia's investment was "another strong sign of trust in the future of this country" and the aviation industry that had grown over the years.
"The aviation park is a vision through which we plan to establish Malta as a major aviation centre in the world," he said.
Medavia managing director Abdurazagh Zmirli said: "Forming part of an aviation park has been our vision for many years. Now we feel that it is being realised thanks to the commitment of Malta Enterprise and the Malta Industrial Parks."
He explained that the new office block and hangar would be built on the site of an old similar facility that was being dismantled. Materials from the old hangar will be recycled and used in the new environmentally-friendly premises that are planned to be completed by July.
Once Medavia moves to the new facilities, their present offices and hangar will be used by SR Technics, which is to start aircraft maintenance operations in August. SR Technics will operate there for about three years until its new hangar is completed near Lufthansa Technik at the airport's Park Four.
"By the time SR Technics moves out, we hope to have expanded our operations to the point that we will be using both hangars," Mr Zmirli said.
David Xuereb, architect responsible for the project on behalf of Malta Industrial Parks, explained that whereas the current hangar measured 50 by 70 metres, the new one will be 50 by 100 metres.
Roderick Cutajar, from Medavia, explained that the larger hangar was aimed at expanding their operations by taking on more subcontracting for maintenance works. "We will probably also increase our workforce," he said, adding that the Maltese-registered company employed 250 people in Malta and Libya.

text: So, I was driving my 2000 Cadillac Catera yesterday on some icy ground as I live here in Iowa where we haven't had the greatest weather. I tried to speed up which usually works just fine as traction control sets in, but this time it just took forever to go. I thought it was just the ice that was the problem, so I got onto a main street that was completely clear and tried to take off. I had to floor the gas pedal to get my car to go and all of a sudden my transmission service light came on and started blinking. I was able to drive home, and even make it on the interstate at 60 mph, but the transmission light is still on and EVERY time I start up after a stop it takes flooring the gas pedal and a LONG time for it to speed up. Once it gets going it seems fine. Any ideas on what this may be?

Functional Differentiation of Uterine Stromal Cells Involves Cross-regulation between Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 and Kruppel-like Factor (KLF) Family Members KLF9 and KLF13. Endocrinology. 151(7):3396-3406. Interpretive Summary: Infertility and early pregnancy loss affect 10-15% of couples of fertility age. A significant underlying cause of these reproductive dysfunctions is the developmental asynchrony between the uterus and the implantation-ready embryo, due to the inability of the inner lining of the uterus to enter the state of receptivity for embryo attachment and subsequent implantation. Our group previously identified a nuclear co-regulator of progesterone action, Krüppel-like Factor (KLF) 9, absence in mice lead to sub-fertility with reduced in number of implanted embryos. Another molecule which is also critical for implantation success in mice is Bone Morphogenetic (BMP) 2. This study showed negative cross-regulation between KLF9 and BMP2 during pre-decidualization, and the role of another KLF member, KLF13 in maintaining progesterone sensitivity in the stromal cells undergoing differentiation. Together, these data suggest that loss of the regulatory network leads to altered uterine receptivity and implantation success.
Technical Abstract: The inability of the uterine epithelium to enter a state of receptivity for the embryo to implant is a significant underlying cause of early pregnancy loss. We previously showed that mice null for the Progesterone Receptor (PGR)-interacting protein Kruppel-like Factor (KLF) 9 are subfertile and exhibit reduced uterine progesterone sensitivity. KLF9 expression is high in pre-decidual stroma, is undetectable in decidua, and is enhanced in uteri of mice with conditional ablation of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 (BMP2). Given the individual importance of KLF9 and BMP2 for implantation success, we hypothesized that the establishment of uterine receptivity involves KLF9 and BMP2 functional cross-regulation. To address this, we used early pregnant wildtype and Klf9 null mice and KLF9 siRNA-transfected human endometrial stromal cells (HESC) induced to differentiate under standard conditions. Loss of KLF9 in mice and in HESC enhanced BMP2 expression, while recombinant BMP2 treatment of HESC attenuated KLF9 mRNA levels. IGFBP1 and KLF9-related KLF13 expression were positively associated with BMP2 and inversely associated with KLF9. Prolonged, but not short-term, knockdown of KLF9 in HESC reduced IGFBP1 expression. Mouse uterine Igfbp1 expression was similarly reduced with Klf9 ablation. PGR-A and PGR-B expression were positively associated with KLF9 in pre-decidual HESC but not in decidualizing HESC. KLF13 knockdown attenuated BMP2 and PGR-B and abrogated BMP2-mediated inhibition of KLF9, expression. Results support cross-regulation among BMP2, KLF9 and KLF13 to maintain progesterone sensitivity in stromal cells undergoing differentiation and suggest that loss of this regulatory network compromises establishment of uterine receptivity and implantation success.


text: You won't really get the answer you want. Some guys run X brand, some run Y. Other guys may run a 238 with the same ammo that hangs your gun, but runs well in theirs. Best you can do is try good ammo (Ranger, Gold Dot, etc) until you find what your SIG will eat. Then carry it. I'm not a bit afraid to carry my 238, although I prefer a full size gun. But it's nice to drop something in the pocket and take off. I have much more confidence in one of my 9s, 357 SIG, 40, or 45. But I have enough confidence in my 238. All you can do is get good ammo that your gun likes, get good with it, and hope you never need it.

If you are going to Mount Miriam Hospital using Evergreen road from Jalan Fettes at night time, you will always found that the junction will always pack with car and traffic jam. Why? It is because of James Foo Western Food restaurant. James Foo is famous for its western food, like grill chicken, grilled salmon, chicken Maryland and many more. The restaurant was located beside the Fatty Loh chicken rice at Tanjong Tokong.
The Environment
Back in the old days which is around 7 years ago, where I first tried it grilled chicken at small hawker stall at the corner hawker center. Later, they were forced to move to the shop lot along Jalan Fettes as the hawker center has been demolished and reconstructed with new commercial building. In year 2011, they have moved back to the original hawker center location but with a new faces and a new commercial building. They fully owned the ground floor and renovated with air conditional. Overall the restaurant is well renovated to something similar to McD or Burger King style.
The restaurant has great lighting and it come with a juice bar at the center of the restaurant. If you drop by James Foo western food during the weekend for dinner, you will always found that this restaurant is pack with customer. In other word, it will always be full house. Sometimes, the customer is force to wait at the main entrance while waiting to be served.

Overall, James Foo western food does provide good service and good food that meet customer expectation. Beside this, it price tag is very competitive to other restaurant in Tanjung Tokong.
