Terri's Miraculous Healing Journey
Two years ago I was left to die by the medical profession. The last option I was given was Hospice and a feeding tube. That didn't seem like a cure to me. And if it wasn't a death sentence, I don't know what is. How did I ever end up here!
I grew up in northeastern New Jersey and had a normal childhood except for the fact that it seemed every winter I experienced every flu, respiratory infection or strept throat that was going around. I missed many weeks of school and spent half my life on antibiotics.
The northeast area of NJ is very industrial and not much was known about environmental pollutants in those days. And, my father as superintendent of parks for the city we lived in always had a good supply of chemicals around to keep our lawn looking the greenest in the neighborhood. My parents doted on me as any only child and not only sought medical attention at the first sign of illness but I had the best of dental care and by the time I was nine I had a mouth full of dental amalgams.
By my twenties, things started to unravel. I had my first major surgery and it seemed after that it was one thing after another. I had constant bowel problems and started testing positive for mononucleosis several years in a row until I just stopped being tested. It would be some time before the medical community determined that Chronic Epstein Barr Virus was a disorder now called Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I traveled all over the country to find help and finally a clinic in Nevada came back with a diagnosis of CEBV along with Cytomegalic virus, Herpes Simplex I,II, Herpes Zoster and traces of radiation fallout from nuclear tests done in Nevada while I was there and Chernobyl fallout as it passed over Florida. I had systemic Candida that was around my heart and lungs and other organs. I was treated there for several years until I eventually became too sick to travel and began to treat myself and find local holistic practitioners.
I managed to maintain some form of a normal life with a lot of limitations. I was also developing more symptoms and eventually developed Fibromyalgia. This all took place over a 30-year period or my whole adult life. I continued to do the best I could and denied a lot of symptoms just to be able to function.
Then my world came crashing down.
One morning in 2001 I awoke and was unable to get out of bed due to the pain and fatigue. I thought it was just a flare up of the Fibromyalgia and assumed a few days of bed rest would do the trick. I was wrong. I never did recover. My body had finally crashed. I now started the long journey to find some definite answers. I saw many practitioners, holistic and allopathic. After tens of thousands of dollars in testing and close to $100,000 in medical bills, I was no closer to being healthier.
I was diagnosed with Lyme's disease, Lupus, toxic heavy metal poisoning including mercury, arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, etc and many types of viruses including rickettsia, retroviruses etc. I had developed severe reactions to insecticides, pesticides and everyday beauty products. Chlorine and numerous everyday chemicals poisoned me. I was extremely affected by perverse energy such as microwave, power lines, radiation, etc. I had developed an adenoma on an adrenal gland and a cyst on a kidney. And, not the least of which Leaky Gut Syndrome which means that my intestines had become porous and were no longer absorbing food in the proper proportions and leaking undigested food into my bloodstream. No wonder I was down to 85 lbs. Also, after the initial pain of the FM disappeared, I was left with agonizing back pain.
I saw every medical specialist and had numerous x-rays, MRI's and CT scans all showing nothing and each doctor subsequently dismissing me. The pain was agonizing and no pain medication helped. I eventually was put on morphine as a last resort but could not count on that as consistent pain relief. The pain was constant and intractable. During this time, I also lost the ability to sleep. I had sleep tests done showing I got no sleep but no doctor seemed to know what to do and no medication seemed to help. I never got relief from the pain. Along with that, I developed a hypersensitivity to the world around me. I could not tolerate light, motion, and noise. I virtually laid in my bed for three years with the windows covered so no light could enter with no visitors because I could not tolerate movement and I was too dysfunctional to carry on a conversation.
My husband took care of me day and night tending to all my needs. When all else had failed and the last doctor said "hospice", we knew it was time to make preparations for the end. Everything in my body was failing. All my organs and every system were now poisoned and damaged. It was amazing I was still alive at that point. I was now actually looking forward to the end, as it was a going to be a release from the pain and the horrible life I was bound to. I researched ways to hasten my demise so I would not have to suffer any longer and made plans.
And then my world changed!
Friends from Ohio flew down and were compelled to visit. Although I had not seen anyone in a long time, I felt they needed to see me and perhaps it would be the last time. They shared many things with me and said they believed there was something out there for me and that they would find it before they left in 2 days. They called the next day and gave my husband the name of the Sentient Temple. We asked very few questions and just called. Within days, Drs. Dennis and Fern Alexander were at my home for what would be the first of many healing sessions. They entered my darkened room and I could barely see them. I don't know how long they were there but they said they would return the next week. On the third week, they returned with 2 other healers from the Temple and told me that other healers of the Temple around the world would also join us.
They began their work, there was toning and chanting, they applied Reiki in many modes, called upon ascended Avatars, and used Quantum-Touch. When they were done, I stepped off the massage table we were now using and I stood up straight. I stood up straight! I had not stood up straight in close to 3 years due to the incredible pain, which had crippled me. But, the most miraculous event was that I also stood with no pain. I had no pain! I called to my husband to share this joyful news.
For the first time, I now had some hope that I would recover fully. The Alexanders came every week for six months at times bringing other healers with them. By the end of the fourth month, I was functioning around my home and attempting to go out for short periods of time. I went out to lunch. I went to a store. I started spending quality time with my husband and connecting with friends. All things I had not done in 3 years.
By the end of six months, I was driving and going out by myself. We had to buy another car as we had sold mine when we thought I would never need it again. In less than a year after they first came to me, I attended my first dance. I was an avid dancer before my illness but could not imagine dancing again during my illness. I now dance 2-3 times per week. I attend weekend dances out of town. I am now able to take care of my home and my husband.
And, best of all, I found a purpose to my life and that is to give back what has been given to me. I began to study with the Sentient Temple. After months of private tutoring, and attending classes in Mayan, Usui and Karuna Reiki, I studied Mind projection in Multidimensional Mind, along with Intuitive Diagnosing and Quantum-Touch. I have become a Certified Instructor in all these venues. Most importantly I learned how to connect with my Source, the Prime Creator.
I long thought I had been forgotten; now I am re-joined with God and I have joined the Sentient Temple Circle of healers and we continue to heal all those who come to us. We turn no one away and will go to those who cannot come to us. I see miracles all the time now but I consider myself truly blessed.

Researchers at Kumamoto University have developed an efficient method to create pancreatic islet beta cells from embryonic stem cells, according to an article in Sunday's edition of the British journal Nature Chemical Biology.
The team, including Shoen Kume, a professor in the university's Institute of Molecular Embryology and Genetics, produced the cells, which can secrete insulin, and succeeded in curing diabetic mice by transplanting the newly produced tissue into them.
The team went a step further than previous teams, which had developed progenitor cells that could not secrete insulin properly.
The team checked some 1,100 molecules one by one to discover the substance necessary for progenitor cells to develop into beta cells. Two molecules were found that increased insulin secretion.
Beta cells produced with the addition of the molecules could secrete about the same amount of insulin as pancreatic cells from normal mice.
Diabetic mice with the newly produced beta cells transplanted showed falls in blood sugar levels to normal in about six weeks.
The amounts of insulin secreted from the newly produced cells are 200 to 300 times the levels achieved by cells made under existing methods, Kume said, adding, "We want to confirm the safety and put (the technology) into use within 10 years."

(CNSNews.com) - Republicans say voters should be careful about opening their doors to convicted felons who are conducting door-to-door voter registration drives in states where the November election is expected to be close.
According to the Associated Press, a group that wants to get George W. Bush out of the White House is now paying convicts to sign up potential voters in at least three states -- and maybe as many as 17.
America Coming Together told the AP that it believes felons deserve a second chance -- and therefore it is paying them to go door to door in Missouri, Florida, and Ohio, where they ask voters what issues are important to them; hand out information on voter registration; and sometimes collect personal information, such as telephone numbers and driver's license numbers.
America Coming Together describes itself as the largest voter mobilization project in American history.
"Knocking on doors and speaking the truth, ACT canvassers are laying the groundwork to defeat George W. Bush and elect Democrats in federal, state, and local elections in 2004," the group's website says.
"Because close elections are won on the ground, it takes each one of us," ACT says. But that effort should not involve felons, Republicans say.
"It is disturbing that the voter mobilization arm of the Democratic Party is proudly hiring felons convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary to go house to house and handle sensitive personal information," said Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie.
"Democrat voters should be leery of opening their doors to political operatives until the Democrats can assure them that a convicted felon won't be on the other side," Gillespie said in a statement.
The Associated Press quoted Mo Elleithee, a spokesman for ACT, as saying it is important to give people a second chance. "The fact that they are willing to do this work is a fairly serious indication that they want to become productive members of society," the AP quoted him as saying.
ACT adopted a policy against employing violent felons this spring, Elleithee told the AP.

I called to order ( 8:12PM)
II Attendance
III Minutes of Previous Meeting:
since last meeting's minute was lost, so it can not be approved right now.
IV Announcements:
Elan: please check with me if you are late for the meeting, also check out with me first if you are leaving early. Please tell me 48 hours before hand if you can't make it to the meeting.
Alex: last trustee-advisee committee will be on the graduation weekend. E-mail me if you have any issues.
V. Special orders:
Elan: try to fill the committee vacancies.
Luke: motion to postpone the committee election until August. Reasons: we don't have everyone here. Seconded and called discussion.
Vote: passed. Postpone the committee election.
Budget Publication: motion to postpone, vote: passed.
Molibi: couple people came up to me about the issue of recognition of budget requests. Ryan: the review recognition is conducted in the wrong amendment, so some clubs are not recognized. The JC has not reviewed these requests as they should. Paris: the budget has already been done for the fall, so there is not anything we can do. The recognition process has been removed from the budgetary discussion. They can apply for discretion funding, just not official. Molibi: it's very inconvenient for them. Paris: hope problem will be solved before Thanksgiving.
Roslyn motioned to adjourn. seconded. Matt objected to voting.
Ryan: when can we come back( the retreat)? Ryan: we can come back at the 25th, and we are scheduled to have the first meeting on the 26th at 9AM. But the agenda is not set.
Luke: question about the choice of date. Why the 26th? Elan: because we are not allowed to be back before the 26th, and Tuesday is the last day before Orientation Outing trips. 26th seemed to be the best date. Molibi: how about people that are involved in Orientation process? Sabir: I don't have the exact schedule, but I might have conflicts because of ISA. Elan: that's ok. We are going to be there all day and mostly it's going to be informational session.
Moved to adjourn.
Adjourn at 8:25.

Sandra Barlow 6 Feb 2007
Searching for my husband's family of Barlows, centred around Hyde in Cheshire:- John Barlow (1924)& brother Dennis- sons of James Barlow,born c1891,and Elizabeth Emma Barton. James was the son of William Barlow, born c1855, and wife Alice Ann ***, also c 1855- brothers John (1880), Edmund (1885), sister Clara (1882). William was the son of Clara Barlow, born c 1820 from Denton Lancashire- I cannot find reference to her husband's name as she was married and widdowed between censuses, but she had two daughters, Hannah and Sophia. All my Barlows lived, worked and died in and closely around Hyde- they all had links to the cotton industry, weavers, spinners, mill workers. My main concern is to find the name of Clara's husband- he should be on the 1841 & 1851 censuses, but I can't find him- anyone out there hiding him?????

I am studying the character Billy Barlow as played by many performers in the 19th century. Can anyone tell me anything about Robert Barlow c.1820-1907. He was American born but came to Australia c.1840. He performed as Billy Barlow and used that name in private life too. He lived in Central Victoria, Australia and toured in USA, England and China. He died in Gympie Queens- land. Here in Australia, in the mid 1850's it was claimed that "The Blue-tailed Fly" was "his song". The smallest piece of infor- mation would be most welcome.

Bridget M. Flaxman Bates February 2001
I am, Bridget M. Flaxman Bates, born in Norwich, Norfolk England. I have one brother, living, information private. My father was Markus / Marcus Charles Oliver Flaxman, date of birth unknown, and, died as a result of a car wreck in 1962 / 63. My mother, Joyce Clesie Lilian Barlow was born in Kings Lynn Norfolk, England, date unknown, and died March 12, 1989 in Norwich, Norfolk England as a result of a long illness. Both parents were cremated in Norwich, Norfolk, England.
I believe my mother had a sister, Gail Barlow, who was married to a chemist, and they lived in Holt, Norfolk England. I do not know my grandparents names.
I have
memories of Mother saying when she was single she went to dances
in a sidecar attached to a motorcycle and the driver
A few weeks ago I received an e-mail from someone in another village telling me that my parents name is still well thought of; especially mother. The reason being, that she had a dress store and sold clothing of just about any kind. She was remembered because she had a knack for telling 'husbands' what their wives wanted for birthdays, etc, as well as the size. She also made custom tailored suits. I remember seeing her guess, then measure a leg, and then laugh because she was always correct.
Dad was known to stop for a drink daily at a pub that was between the three businesses my parents owned. They also owned several apartments / flats and a house that was rented out to GI's, thus I have spent my life growing up around Americans before moving to the US in 1961.
home burned several years ago, along with all photograph's and all
family history was lost at that time. I would love to hear

A 2 x great-grandmother of mine, Betty Barlow born 1821 in Outwood, Parish of Prestwich, Lancashire married Richard Nelson born 1818 in Kearsley, near Bolton, Lancashire in 1844.
Betty was the daughter of Titus and Catharine "Kitty" Barlow and died in Kearsley in 1887. She had an illegitimate child, Titus born 1842, before she married my 2x great-grandfather.
Titus married a widow, Mary Marsh, and had 5 known children,
Titus - b. 1880, died in 1946 and had 2 known children: Alfred, 1911-1938 and Ada.
Hope that this may interact with someone's tree.
John Adrian "Ady" Barlow April 2000
lineage as far as I know it is:
there is some confusion in the above information as my mother
and father's marriage certificate states that my Grand- father's
name was William John Barlow, deceased, but the information above
comes from a headstone on a grave that my father used to visit when
I was a child.
the Church at Llanrwst where I found the above information was pulled
down about thirty years ago so I don't think I could find any local records,
even though I suppose they must still exist somewhere.
only other clue I have is that I think I was once told that the next
generation back might be from the Cheshire area, possibly Bunbury
or Tarporley.
However, there is some confusion in the above information as my mother and father's marriage certificate states that my Grand- father's name was William John Barlow, deceased, but the information above comes from a headstone on a grave that my father used to visit when I was a child.
Unfortunately the Church at Llanrwst where I found the above information was pulled down about thirty years ago so I don't think I could find any local records, even though I suppose they must still exist somewhere.
The only other clue I have is that I think I was once told that the next generation back might be from the Cheshire area, possibly Bunbury or Tarporley.

John W. Barlow <JWB8134 at aol.com> Tennessee, USA September 1999
My great grandfather was William Barlow, born abt 1828 in Malpas Parish, Chesire. He was a farmer who married Sarah Bennett, daughter of Joseph Bennett. Sarah was born in Tushingham, Cheshire, and Joseph was born in Broxton, Cheshire.
Joseph married Ann Edwards and had a farm in Tushingham where they resided during the censuses of 1841, 1851, and 1861.
Barlow was a farmer who moved to Shropshire shortly after his
marriage in 1863. William's father was John Barlow,
a farmer. I can not locate the household of John Barlow in any Cheshire
census. Therefore, I do not know John Barlow's wife or any other
of their children. There was a farmer, John
Barlow, from Edge who married an Ann Lee in Malpas in 1923,

My great grandfather was Barlow Alexander MULHOLLAND, born Roscommon c1840. His father was George. The history of Barlow in London England from 1867 onwards is known.
There is also a Samuel WIlliam Barlow MULHOLLAND in Salford Lancashire, 1880 when his son married Matilda McTaggart. In 1889 they named their son Alexander Barlow MULHOLLAND. I've not been able to link these two families. Could this information help somebody link up with their and my family trees?

I am looking for descendents of George Thomas Barlow, born 06 July 1858 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and died 13 April 1928 in Salt Lake City, Utah.
He married Sarah Coop.
George's father is Thomas Barlow born 13 June 1823 in Prestwich, England, and died 16 October 1896.
Thomas is the son of Edward Barlow, born 14 August 1801, who is the son of John Barlow.
He married his first cousin Ann Hulme, daughter of George Hulme who married Ann Barlow. Ann was the daughter of John Barlow, who is the grandfather of George Thomas Barlow.
Susan BARLOW Holmes has found this information in the LDS files per Ann Barlow and George Hulme:
Ann Barlow Hulme was born September 03, 1793 in Unsworth, Lancashire England, the daughter of John Barlow and Alice Spencer and died 11 February 1853, also in Unsworth Lancashire England. She and George were married c1812.
George Hulmes was born 05 January 1794 in Unsworth, Lancashire England to Phillip Hulme and Elizabeth Dawson and died 27 October 1865 in Platte River Nebraska.
The children of Ann Barlow and George Hulme are:

My dilema is as follows:
Ret. Rev. William Barlow, I thought born 1584 Barlow, Chorlton Cum Hardy, Lancashire ; died September 19, 1656 Douai, England and that he was the Bishop of Bath & Wells, which I found him listed as in the Catholic Encyclopedia. That would make him William Reudesin Barlow, son of Sir Alexander Barlow and Mary Brereton.
On a list of Bishop's I find that he was a Bishop of St. David's in 1596? ---
Do you know anything about this man and which information is correct?
I am trying to find out if he is the father of George Barlow born c1620, England and died October 31, 1684 in Sandwich, Massa- chusetts. His 1st wife was Mary Vincent Stetson (they had 4-5 children: Aaron, Moses, Samuel & William and maybe a George 2nd wife married about March 4, 1661/62 in Sandwich, Massachusetts, Jane Beme Besse (Widow of Anthony Besse) born 1622 Massachusetts, died ?

be born around 1781. James left Darlington, England and arrived
Baltimore in September 1831 at the age of

as a ladies hairdresser and worked at Harrods Store in
London. Whilst in London he met his wife Elizabeth
Anne Buggy, the daughter of a horse bus driver. They married
in 1905 and had one son, my father, RONALD ALFRED who was
born in Kilburn London in 1908. In 1911 the family moved out of London
first to a "Pub" in Stratford upon Avon, Warwickshire called The Thatch
(It's still there but is now a restaurant). They soon moved
on to Wellington in Shropshire where Alfred set up in busi-
ness as a hairdresser in the main street. Ronald followed his
father into the hairdressing trade but also trained as
a chiropodist.
As far as I have succeeded in tracing my Barlows, there does not seem to have been anyone who has ventured to emigrate to the USA. My father died whilst I was young, so the vague stories I recall were of a brother who went to Australia, and a sister to South Africa (or was it the other way round?).
Some time between 1841and 1851James became the Innkeeper, victualler, at the Horseshoe Inn, Newbold Astbury, and died there in June 1855. His son-in-law John Thompson, Martha's husband, was then licensee for a time, and later, my grandfather Robert became licensee. This must have been a tenancy only, as the property, and small farm attached were part of the Grey-Egerton Estate at that time.
As for Mary, she was a pupil teacher, married a teacher, and moved to the Wirral Peninsula, Cheshire and were Master and Mistress of a school there.
Robert married Mary Ann Garbutt at Astbury on July 21st, 1862. There were 10 children Thomas, Robert, Mary (died age 29), Alfred, Martha, Elizabeth, Emily, Charles, Margaret, and John Eaton my father, who married a Yorkshire lass Edith Sunderland, at Rothwell, Leeds on Sept. 17th 1924.
I would appreciate any help in getting back further than James, my great grandfather, who claimed to have been born at Congleton but no baptism has come to light there, or at Astbury.

Mercury is a toxic heavy metal that is an environmental and industrial pollutant throughout the world. Mercury exposure leads to many physiopathological injuries in mammals. However, the precise toxicological effects of mercury on pancreatic islets
Mercury, a toxic heavy metal and a widespread environmental pollutant, poses a serious health hazard [
DM is part of a group of metabolic diseases that is characterized by hyperglycemia originating from defects of insulin secretion by the pancreatic β-cells and/or insulin action in the peripheral tissues. Many studies have reported that the death of pancreatic islet β-cells contributes to type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes, which is a prototype of organ-specific autoimmune diseases in which an immune-mediated inflammation results in the selective destruction and infiltration of islet β-cells, inhibits insulin secretion, and causes pancreatic β-cell death [
To investigate the effects of mercuric compounds on
To investigate whether mercuric compounds induce dysfunction of pancreatic islets via an apoptotic mechanism, we performed terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and insulin dual staining, and were measured the expression of apoptosis-related genes (by real-time quantitative RT-PCR). As shown in
To further explore the involvement of oxidative stress damage in the mechanism underlying the toxicological effects induced by mercuric compounds in the islets of mice, we analyzed lipid peroxidation (LPO) production (as an indicator of oxidative stress damage) in the plasma and ROS generation in the islets of exposed mice. After the mice treated with MeHgCl (2 mg/kg/day) or HgCl2 (5 mg/kg/day) for 2 to 6 consecutive weeks, the plasma MDA levels were significantly increased at 2 weeks and continued to increase at 4 and 6 weeks (
Furthermore, we analyzed the mRNA expression levels of
Our results in this study found that a significant increase in blood glucose and a decrease in plasma insulin levels were showed after treatment mice with MeHgCl (at 2 to 6 consecutive weeks) or HgCl2 (at 4 to 6 consecutive weeks). It is also interesting to note that after the mice treated with HgCl2 for 2 consecutive weeks, the suppression of blood glucose was associated with an increase of plasma insulin levels; but a significant elevation of blood glucose intolerance and a decrease in plasma insulin after glucose loading were also revealed. This effect might be related to the started induction of islet cell apoptosis in early stage by HgCl2, leading to the rupture the insulin secretory vesicle membranes and resulting in insulin release. Furthermore, blood glucose homeostasis is generally regulated by skeletal muscle and adipose tissues. Growing studies have focused on the mechanism by which metal-mediated glucose transport contributes to metal-induced pathologies [
To ascertain whether MeHgCl- and HgCl2-induced islet dysfunction and apoptosis
Oxidative stress, induced by toxic metals (including mercury), plays an important role in apoptosis and pathological injuries, which are accompanied by damage to antioxidant enzymes [
Male ICR mice (6 weeks old, 20–25 g) were obtained from the animal center of the BioLASCO Taiwan Co., Ltd. (Taipei, Taiwan). Experimental protocols were approved by the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the care and use of laboratory animals were conducted in accordance with the guidelines of the Animal Research Committee of China Medical University. The mice were housed in groups of six per cage under standard laboratory conditions at a constant temperature (23 ± 2 °C), 50% ± 20% relative humidity, and given a solid diet and tap water available
Prior to pancreatic islet isolation and purification, the mice were treated with or without mercuric compounds for 2 consecutive weeks (
Mice were treated with MeHgCl (2 mg/kg/day), HgCl2 (5 mg/kg/day), or distilled water (age-matched control group;
To measure the plasma insulin concentration, the whole blood of mice treated with MeHgCl (2 mg/kg/day), HgCl2 (5 mg/kg/day), or distilled water (age-matched control group;
To determine the Hg concentrations, 300 mg of whole blood from each mouse was placed in a 15 mL polyethylene tube, and 0.5–1 mL of a 3:1 mixture of hydrochloric acid (35%) and nitric acid (70%) was added. The tubes were capped and allowed to stand overnight in a 50 °C oven. After cooling, a suitable dilution buffer (0.3% nitric acid and 0.1% Triton X-100 in distilled water) was added to the digested material, and the total mercury content was determined by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). The detection limit for mercury was ~0.1 ppb (μg/L).
Mice were treated with MeHgCl (2 mg/kg/day), HgCl2 (5 mg/kg/day), or distilled water (age-matched control group) for 2 consecutive weeks, and their pancreases were isolated and fixed in 10% formaldehyde in PBS. To examine apoptosis in islets, TUNEL and insulin (to identify β-cells) double immunostaining was performed on 5-μm pancreas sections (onparaffin slide). After deparaffinization and rehydration, TUNEL staining was performed using a fluorometric transferase-mediated TUNEL assay kit (Promega Corporation, Madison, WI, USA) by following the manufacturer's procedure. Following the TUNEL stain, the slide was rinsed in phosphate-buffer saline (PBS) and incubated with a rabbit polyclonal IgG anti-insulin antibody (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Inc., CA, USA) for 1 h at room temperature. The slide was then washed four times with PBS and incubated with the secondary antibody labeled with Cy3 (Millipore Corporation, Billerica, MA, USA) for 1 h. After being washed twice with PBS, the slide was observed with a Leica DMIL inverted fluorescence microscope equipped with a charge-coupled device camera (400× magnification).
The formation of MDA, a substance produced during lipid peroxidation, was determined using a commercial LPO assay kit (Calbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer's instructions. Briefly, the isolated islets were homogenized separately in ice-cold 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.4), and then the homogenized samples were assayed immediately. Equal volumes of plasma and islet homogenates (
Isolation of the mouse islet of Langerhans was performed as previously described [

There's merit in the timeless adage: If it's too good to be true, it probably is. I get it – we all want a quick fix to pay off our student loans, so we can get on with our lives without that haunting debt banshee constantly reminding us that our careers won't actually pay for themselves until we retire. And at least those of us who recently graduated will have social security to fall back on later in life, right? Ha.
Regardless, this next story completely baffles me. With the national student loan two year default rate jumping from 7% in 2008, to over 8.8% last year, according to the Department of Education, it's understandable that students would jump at the opportunity to rid this monkey off of their backs. And the number of defaulting student debtors is only projected to escalate.
Here's the kicker – even as bad as your student loan debt may be – there is no quick fix. Students (currently) cannot discharge it in bankruptcy. You can potentially work for the government, which can forgive a portion of your federal loans. But, in general, you either have to preemptively avoid racking up student debt, or take your sweet time paying that education off.
However, according to a recent article ( http://www2.wspa.com/news/2012/may/14/student-loan-scam-warning-ar-3789790/) scammers are taking advantage of desperate students grasping for straws to pay off their debt. There are scholarship scams. Scams that ask for a fee to fill out the FAFSA for you. Most recently, scams have been popping up that claim upon the Constitution that you can legally discharge all of your student debt for a small fee. What puzzles me is that educated students are falling for these scams.
What's the take-away? You all went to college, which means you're likely more educated than the average Joe (although, there are extreme exceptions to this theory). 1. Use common sense. Don't let your desperation override reason. If it smells bad, it probably is. 2. Do your research. Most of these scams are fairly easy to debunk with a little investigation. 3. Be wary of anything that claims you must "act fast." 4. Refer to the above article. It offers legitimate programs that can aid in student loan debt.

after looking at his rear again, I think I figured out why the rear end as a whole may seem so much like an eye sore to most of us. For one, we're so used to seeing quad exhaust exiting out the back on an m3 but where it exits, I believe there's a cut out just big enough for the tail pipe to stick out. When the tail pipe, like the one in the OP car juts out from what seems like nowhere, that's whats causing most of us to gag and scoff. it may seem like such a minor detail to cause a major damaging effect but it would be similar to a smooth edge verses a very jagged one. if he had cut out his "diffuser" and the tail pipes exited and all of it had been on an even plane, i think it would've blended in a lot more. Plus, had he kept that part that his plate is mounted to and the diffuser all one color, I'm sure most would agree it could've been a much more tasteful smoother blend. Yeah... I think that's what it is. The black is bringing too much darkness to a silvery shiny car, causing whatever is silver to stand out. It would be equivalent to all those black pieces not being there at all. If you can mentally picture that, and pretend you only see whatever is silver, that I believe is what's causing most to not like it. We're all used to the back of the car being a single matching color.
PS If you guys seen the green BMW with his rare body kit and quad exhaust, who I think wrote a DIY on it actually, I'm sure most aren't hating on his car. It's because its clean, and he made it work. one more thing, doesn't his car kind of look like a 1996-2001 (i think) Honda Civic Coupe with a ricey quad exhaust on it? lol. maybes its just me

Rincon was suspended Monday for 10 days after testing positive for an undisclosed substance, the fifth player to be suspended this season.
Michael Weiner, general counsel of the Major League Baseball Players Association, said a grievance would be filed Tuesday. But unlike other penalties, such as for fighting, suspensions under this policy take effect immediately and are not delayed pending a hearing.
"Suffice it to say, he was devastated and stunned by the result," Rincon's agent, Ed Setlik, said after speaking with Rincon, who is 2-1 with a 2.25 ERA in 12 appearances this season.
The 26-year-old Venezuelan didn't immediately return a message left on his cell phone. Minnesota was off Monday, but the team said he would make a brief statement to the media at the Metrodome before Tuesday night's game against Cleveland.
Last October, a dejected Rincon lamented giving up a four-run lead late in a season-ending playoff loss to the New York Yankees. On Monday, he had a similar feeling.
"He feels like he's let the team down," manager Ron Gardenhire said.
According to Setlik and Gardenhire, Rincon is allowed to work out with the team but must leave the stadium once games begin. He'll miss nine of them, with eligibility restored May 13 against Texas.
Rincon, who is making $440,000 this season under terms of a two-year contract he signed during spring training, will forfeit $24,044 in salary. The penalty also will hurt Rincon's chances to earn bonuses of $10,000 for appearing in 68 games, $20,000 for 73 games and $30,000 for 78 games.
Last season, he went 11-6 with two saves and a 2.63 ERA in 77 appearances, emerging as one of baseball's best relievers.
Four lesser-known players previously received 10-day bans: Tampa Bay outfielder Alex Sanchez, Colorado outfielder Jorge Piedra, Texas minor league pitcher Agustin Montero and Seattle minor league outfielder Jamal Strong.
Under the new policy that began last month, steroids and other performance-enhancing substances are the only drugs to draw a 10-day suspension. Baseball officials and the players' union agreed they would not disclose the exact substance for which a player tests positive.
"I think they need to tell people what the suspension is for," Boston slugger David Ortiz said, "because people see a name on the screen and think he must be doing the same things as Canseco when he really took some ephedra instead of andro. Those aren't the same thing."
Last week, commissioner Bud Selig proposed much tougher penalties for players caught using steroids. He sent a letter to the union calling for a 50-game suspension for first-time steroid offenders, a 100-game penalty for a second offense and a lifetime ban for a third violation under what he called a "three strikes and you are out approach" to doping. Union head Donald Fehr sent a letter to Selig on Monday saying the players' association was willing to discuss it.
With three straight AL Central titles, the Twins have been lauded for their success in a small market and have received several organization-of-the-year awards from various publications. For a franchise proud of its positive image, it was a bad way to start the week. Though publicly offering support for Rincon, the Twins weren't happy to hear it, either.
"It's a tough day," Gardenhire said. "I think we're all surprised, but hopefully we'll get through this thing. We'll let the process take its place and do the best we can.
"We're on his side. We've always stood by our players. They make mistakes. They're humans. It's a learning process for everybody."
Right-hander Scott Baker, one of the team's top minor-league prospects, was brought up from Triple-A Rochester to fill Rincon's roster spot. The bullpen responsibilities of lefty J.C. Romero and righty Jesse Crain will increase, as will the pressure on the starters to last longer in games.
"Obviously that's going to put a little strain on the staff," said right-hander Kyle Lohse, who is the team's union representative.
Lohse said he called Rincon to hear his teammate's side of the story. Because of the pending grievance, everyone was reluctant to divulge details.
"He doesn't want to affect the team like that," Lohse said. "It's surprising to have a teammate come up positive. Hopefully we can clear it up and move along."

Concord – Republican nominee for House Speaker Bill O'Brien (R-Mont Vernon) today announced that former Speaker Gene Chandler (R-Bartlett) will serve as the House Speaker Pro Tem. Chandler has served as Speaker from 2000-2004 and as Speaker Pro Tem from 2010-2012. From 2012-2014, he served as the House Republican Leader.
House Speaker Nominee Bill O'Brien
"In his 17 terms serving the citizens of New Hampshire, Gene has consistently demonstrated his commitment to the state and has been a leader at every level of the House. There is no one more knowledgeable than Gene on the institution and tradition of this body. Moreover, he has been a reliable voice for limited, effective government in keeping with the values Granite Staters hold dear. I'm thrilled he's joined our leadership team and look forward to him playing an important role in moving our state forward over the next session."
House Speaker Pro Tem Nominee Gene Chandler
"I look forward to working with Speaker O'Brien over the next two years and hope all Republican House members will join us in our efforts to restore New Hampshire's economy. He shares my concerns about making sure that New Hampshire delivers fiscally accountable government that lives within its means to the public. That begins with responsible revenue estimates and holding the Governor and state agencies to task for staying within their budgets. Together, we can make sure that our state's fiscal house is in order and we take the steps to get New Hampshire's economy back on track and growing again."

Depression—a sad or discontented mood—can leave a person feeling lethargic, unmotivated, or hopeless. In some cases, depression can lead to suicidal ideation. Depression may occur in a severe form, as in major depression, or in a more chronic, mild-to-moderate form, as is the case with persistent depressive disorder.

Understanding Depression
Depression is a serious, but common, illness: One in 10 adults report experiencing depression, and the condition is the most common cause of disability in the United States. The lifetime risk of any individual person becoming depressed is around 17 percent, and most people have their first bout of depression in their late teens or early twenties. The condition is slightly more common among women, but some researchers speculate that this may be because men are less likely to seek help or because their symptoms are more likely to manifest as anger than sadness.
Find a Therapist
Depression's symptoms are distinct from the symptoms associated with grief, when feeling emotionally overwhelmed is normal and temporary. Depression may be indicated when feelings of sadness and despair disrupt daily life and persist for more than two weeks.
Those who have experienced trauma or are prone to anxiety may be more likely to experience depression than those who have not, and research suggests that some people may be biologically predisposed to depression due to neurochemical abnormalities. A family history of depression can lead to a person's inheriting or learning these traits.
Signs and Symptoms
Depression's symptoms can vary greatly from person to person and may even change throughout the course of the illness. Symptoms may also vary depending on an individual's gender, culture, or age. Adolescents experiencing depression might appear irritable and agitated, and women may be more likely to admit to depression than men, while certain cultural groups might mask their feelings or display them differently. Common symptoms of depression include:
- Frequent crying and overwhelming feelings of sadness.
- Feelings of hopelessness and worthlessness.
- Changes in sleep such as excessive sleeping or the inability to sleep.
- Anxiety.
- Anger.
- Difficulty enjoying previously-enjoyed activities.
- Unexplained physical ailments such as headaches or muscle pain.
- Difficulty concentrating.
- Changes in weight or eating habits.
- Thoughts of suicide.
A person experiencing depression is likely to encounter difficulty coping with daily stressors and may feel helpless and alone. In fact, sometimes the most mundane of activities—getting out of bed, bathing, and dressing—can feel like an impossible feat. These challenges can influence one's susceptibility to a decline even when in a positive mood, resulting in a negativity bias that informs all experiences.
Depression is associated with emotions such as anger, shame, and fear, and sometimes these emotions can manifest in the body in the form of aches, pains, nausea, and other complaints. Depression may cause feelings of tension or irritation and may lead to weepiness, and it is not uncommon to feel intensely fatigued without relief. In severe cases, a person may express no emotion whatsoever, and suicidal thoughts or behaviors are not uncommon.
Seeking Therapy for Depression
Depression is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and the condition is highly treatable. Unfortunately, though, stigma surrounding depression inhibits many people from seeking treatment. Because an individual with depression may be viewed as flawed or weak, that person is likely to feel shame regarding his or her condition, and he or she may fear the consequences of disclosing the experience to employers, health care providers, family, and friends.
Depression is one of the most common reasons people seek therapy, and the condition is highly treatable.There are a number of therapeutic approaches that have demonstrated effectiveness in treating depression, including mindfulness-based cognitive therapy and psychodynamic therapy. Regardless of the approach, a trained therapist can help a person view a depressive state with curiosity and without judgment, in an effort to understand and heal the source of the depression. In fact, many times simply identifying the source of depression can enhance treatment outcomes and provide some relief from depression. Therapy also helps people to recognize and access their strength, autonomy, and capacity for change.
Group therapy and support groups have proven helpful to many people experiencing depression. The camaraderie of being supported by a social group can help to alleviate the symptoms of isolation or loneliness that are common in depression.
Medication and Other Treatments
Medications are often employed in the treatment of depression, particularly when the symptoms are severe, and several classes of medications have been developed to improve mood. All antidepressants are associated with certain side effects that may or may not improve with time; many times the side effects are considered by the person in treatment to be a worthwhile compromise, particularly when depression is severe enough to include suicidal thoughts or self-harm behaviors. While antidepressants alone cannot address the emotional and psychological causes of depression, they may help improve talk therapy treatment outcomes.
Other treatments and lifestyle changes that might alleviate symptoms of depression—especially when used in combination with psychotherapy or medication—include a variety of complementary and alternative medicine therapies (CAM), such as acupuncture, herbal remedies, and supplements as well as aerobic exercise, which boosts endorphins, improves mood, and relieves stress.
Relationships and Depression
Depression can make it difficult for a person to accept comfort from others, which is sometimes based on the belief that they do not deserve it or that the affection is insincere. Similarly, the lethargy, irritability, and hopelessness experienced by the partner who is depressed may make expressions of love nearly impossible. Depression can also interfere with communication and sexual intimacy in a romantic relationship. Some people may become more distant during depression, while others appear more needy or dependent on their partners.
The intimate partners and families who share their lives with loved ones who experience depression may benefit from couples counseling or family therapy to learn how to best support the person with depression and themselves.
Correlated Psychological Issues
Other mental health concerns, such as anxiety, are commonly linked to depression. Depression is also a major characteristic of bipolar, schizophrenia, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Depression is also associated with substance abuse, especially with alcohol and other central nervous system depressants. In addition, people may self-medicate with alcohol or other substances to manage depression, potentially making their symptoms worse in the long term.
Case Examples
- Depression over breakup: Tommy, a 21-year-old college student, was referred to the university counseling center by his roommate, who noticed Tommy was sleeping most of the day, missing class, and skipping meals. Tommy goes to his first appointment reluctantly, but because herecognizes that he hasn't been the same lately, he agrees to keep meeting with his therapist. In therapy Tommy recognizes that his depression began immediately following a breakup with his college sweetheart, Lynn, who had feelings for another man. In future sessions, Tommy identifies feelings of grief, betrayal, and hidden feelings of inadequacy. Tommy has a breakthrough insight when he discovers that his depression has been helping him avoid these painful feelings. The recognition itself helps the depression begin to loosen its grip. Tommy continues therapy for about a dozen sessions in which he identifies and cares for parts of himself that have felt inadequate since childhood. This increases Tommy's confidence and self-esteem and causes his depression to lift entirely.
- Feelings of inadequacy and depression: Rudy, 38, cries and cries during the first interview with his new therapist and cannot say why. His life is, on the surface, everything anyone could want. He is married, with two healthy children and a sufficient income, and he claims to love his job as a financial analyst, or at least, that he used to love it. Lately, he does not seem to enjoy anything. Sports, which once gave him pleasure, now seem empty and meaningless. He feels distant from his wife and family. His job feels pointless and tedious. He has also been drinking alcohol, secretly, to numb himself. Treatment reveals hidden feelings of guilt and shame about Rudy's perceived inadequacy as a son and now as a husband and father. His rigidly punitive parents instilled in him a perfectionism impossible to fulfill. Rudy has long buried his anger about this, and it takes a good deal of work for him to begin challenging his own rigid beliefs. Quitting drinking turns out to be easier than Rudy thought it would be, once he is able to talk openly with both his wife and his therapist about his deep shame and fear. Rudy asks for medications and is given a referral to a psychiatrist who prescribes a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Rudy reports it helps him get through the work day, but after six months he decides the side effects are not worth it, and based on his strong progress, his therapist and psychiatrist agree stopping would be fine. Though his mood diminishes for a few weeks, he is soon feeling more optimistic, closer with his wife, and more motivated at work.
- Grief, transitions, and depression: Mindy, age 63, is depressed to the point of near delirium, verbalizing confused thoughts and demonstrating a loss of focus and cognitive organization. She has no history of psychiatric treatment, but her partner reports she has always been somewhat gloomy and anxious. This episode is different, as she has been unable to work, is tearful most of the day, isolates herself, and feels lethargic—behaviors that are totally out of character. An interview reveals that retirement looms ahead, a new boss has replaced one that Mindy liked much better, and she has not fully grieved her mother's recent death. Treatment includes normalizing feelings of grief and identifying life-stage changes that triggered the diminished mood. After eight sessions, Mindy is able to confront deeply held fears and beliefs, communicate more effectively with her partner—from whom Mindy desires more physical affection—and make a plan for her transition to retirement. Mindy's depression begins to dissipate, and she returns to her job with more hope, if not enthusiasm.
