May 8, 2013 - The Associated PressMan sentenced in fraud case
POWELL -- An Indiana man has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for his role in defrauding hospitals in Wyoming and Indiana out of nearly $1.7 million.
A federal judge on Monday also ordered Michael J. Plake of West Lafayette to spend three years on supervised release after his prison term.
Plake had pleaded guilty to two counts of conspiring to commit mail fraud and one count of conspiring to launder money.
An indictment alleged that Paul Cardwell, who was the former CEO of Powell Valley Healthcare in Wyoming and the former White County Memorial Hospital in Indiana, funneled hospital funds to a bogus staff recruiting firm that Plake supposedly ran, and that the men split the money.
Stadium getting new playing field
LARAMIE -- A new playing surface will be installed this summer at Wyoming's War Memorial Stadium.
The FieldTurf Revolution playing surface on Jonah Field will have a distinctive Wyoming design and will be completed in time for the 2013 college football season. It will cost about $500,000 and is being paid for with private funds.
FieldTurf has been installed at many top NCAA football stadiums for its grass-like performance and safety.
The new turf will include a depiction of the Teton Range in both end zones along with the traditional words "WYOMING" and "COWBOYS." Also new will be the lettering "7220 Feet" on both sidelines, indicating the stadium's elevation as the highest Football Bowl Subdivision field in the nation.
Sweetwater to double race days
ROCK SPRINGS -- In its third year of operation this year, Sweetwater Downs will double the number of horse racing days from four to eight.
Eugene Joyce is general manager of Wyoming Horse Racing LLC, which is the operator of the horse racing.

Arthritis & Rheumatism, Volume 62,
November 2010 Abstract Supplement
Abstracts of the American College of
Rheumatology/Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals
Annual Scientific Meeting
Atlanta, Georgia November 6-11, 2010.
Urinary Tract Infections in Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Edgerton1, Colin C., Michaud3, Kaleb D., Wolfe2, Frederick
Eisenhower Army Medical Center, Evans, GA
Natilonal Data Bank for Rheumatic Disease, Wichita, KS
Univ of Nebraska Med Ctr, Omaha, NE
Recent interest in urinary tract infections in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has stemmed from the assessment of risk of infection with biologic agents. There have been little data about community acquired urinary tract infections (UTI) until a recent report gave an incidence rate (IR) of ~3% (1). By contrast, an epidemiology study in the general population reported an IR at 10.8% (95% CI 9.4. 12.1) in women (2). We used a large prospective data bank to investigate these differences and to understand risk factor for UTI in RA.
We used general estimating equations to evaluate the risk of UTI in 17,139 RA patients and 107,546 semiannual observations. Patients self-reported the number of urinary tract infections in the previous 6 months. We evaluated the role of age, sex, antirheumatic drug use, education, BMI, household income, smoking, comorbidity, and the tendency to over-report symptoms. We also calculated the misclassification rate for self-reported events based on 76,493 cases that evaluated for validation.
The estimated IR for UTI, adjusted for 10% over-reporting, was 8.9% (8.6, 9.2) overall and 11.4% (11.0, 11.8) in women and 3.3% (2.9, 3.7) in men. Serious events, resulting in hospitalization or requiring intravenous antibiotics was reported in 0.39%. In multivariable analyses, UTI was associated with diabetes, OR 1.2 (95% CI 1.0, 1.3), corticosteroid use OR 1.1 (1.0, 1.2), but not to biologic use, OR 1.0 (0.9, 1.1). Among other factors, UTI was associated with less household income and multiple comorbidities, but not with smoking, BMI, education level or estrogen use. When the study variables were applied to serious infection, the OR increased for prednisone use, 1.9 (1.6, 2.4) and diabetes, 2.0 (1.5, 2.6), but remained non-significant, 0.9 (0.7, 1,1) for biologics. Overall, prednisone was used at 34.9% of observations and biologics at 38.2%.
Based on increased risk associated with prednisone and comorbidity, as well as increased IC compared with the community epidemiology study, we estimate that UTI is slightly increased in RA. These results are 3 times higher than a previous study (1). The Observed rate of serious urinary tract infection was consistent with data from the British Biologics registry (3).

Excerpt from our One Page Barron's Summary (receive it weekly by email by signing up here):
COVER STORY: Big Ripple by Andrew Bary
Highlighted companies: Homebuilders' ETF (NYSEARCA:XHB), Toll Brothers (NYSE:TOL), WCI Communities (WCI), Home Depot (NYSE:HD), Countrywide Financial (CFC), Centex (CTX), Pulte (NYSE:PHM), Lennar (NYSE:LEN), KB Home (NYSE:KBH), Levitt (LEV), Bluegreen (BXG), Whirlpool (NYSE:WHR), Cendant (CD), Realogy (NYSE:H), Wyndham Worldwide (NYSE:WYN), MDC Holdings (NYSE:MDC), Hovnanian Enterprises (NYSE:HOV), Lowe's (NYSE:LOW), Mohawk Industries (NYSE:MHK), DR Horton (NYSE:DHI)
Summary: Weak home sales, growing inventories, dwindling orders and falling prices have all contributed to a weakening housing market. Hardest struck have been the home builders, who are off as much as 65% from last summer's highs. But with the investment community firmly entrenched in their bearish outlook, the time to consider catching some bargain-basement prices in housing stocks may be rapidly approaching. Various companies are analyzed in depth (see "Highlighted companies" above, particularly those in bold), considering factors such as book value (many home builders presently trade at or below book value) and price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) -- home builders currently average about 6. While it's possible the current lull is just the beginning of a full-out bust of the housing boom, similar to the tech-stock-bubble bust of the late 1990's, bulls counter that such factors as relatively low interest rates, a still expanding economy, and positive demographic factors bode well for the sector. Many top investors, while admitting they were too early in buying-in to the group, are sticking with the sector, sensing the bottom is near or "within squinting distance." While conceding that "it may be early for housing-related stocks," Bary concludes that with its attractive valuations, the housing market may bottom sooner than later, especially if signs of recovery begin to emerge or if the Fed starts cutting rates, and that these previously battered stocks could take a sharp upturn way before any corresponding growth in profits.
Quick comment: This week's Barron's cover story take a clearly bullish stance on homebuilder stocks, the opposite of Marc Gerstein's must-read argument that homebuilder stocks are a value trap, Lon Witter's prediction in last week's Barron's that the broad market will fall 25%-30% as it becomes clear the housing market is in significant decline, and William Trent's bearish summary of the housing market data. Clearfish Research, in contrast, takes a bullish perspective consistent with this Barron's article, making the case for an easy landing, in which he points out that predictions of housing-market gyrations have historically been unreliable and the numbers behind the headlines continue to surprise the pessimists. As noted in the Barron's article, Toll Brothers CEO Robert Toll argues that the market has illogically lumped together well-capitalized builders and weaker upstarts, providing opportunity for value investors to buy stocks of companies with solid track records at close-to-book-value prices. Note that famed contrarian investor Bill Miller has almost 4% of his portfolio in homebuilder stocks, namely Beazer Homes (NYSE:BZH), Centex (CTX), Pulte Homes (PHM) and The Ryland Group (NYSE:RYL). See Bill Miller's entire portfolio as of June 30th, including the allocations to each of these stocks, and the excerpt from his letter to shareholders in which he discusses housing stocks. Seeking Alpha has an easy-to-bookmark section devoted to ongoing coverage of the housing market.

HIP HOP NEWS YOU NEED TO KNOW...JAY Z: Launches Luxury Holiday Clothing Line with Barneys

I remember reading Portrait of the Artist in a park, practically straight through, and I loved the stories in Dubliners.
As to Glendalough, it is so much a holiday place for the Dubliners that it is no wonder everything portable has disappeared.
The sketches in "Dubliners" are perfect, each in its own way, and all in one way: they imply a vast deal that is not said.
An American crowd would have made for the main exhibition building, but I doubt if the Dubliners noticed that it was raining.
Thanks to the Unionist leaders, whose ability and devotion are here warmly recognised, the Dubliners know no fear.
His earlier book, "Dubliners," contained several well-constructed stories, several sketches rather lacking in form.
They are great at figures, and by them they try to show that they, and not the Dubliners, should be first considered.
The Dubliners are beginning to publicly ridicule their Nationalist members.
The Dubliners must have their fun, and, like the Parisians, will sport with matters of heaviest import.

"And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature." (Mark 16:15)
Imagine that you are playing outside in your yard when you start to smell smoke. You turn, and see a fire in your neighbor's back kitchen. What do you do? Do you carry on playing like nothing is wrong? No; you run over to your neighbor's house and start yelling, "Fire! Fire!"
Why would you do such a thing? Why would you warn your neighbor about the fire in his house? You do so because you know something he does not: that his house is on fire, and thus, you have the responsibility of warning him.
The Bible says that there is a fire that is never-ending. It is unlike any fire you have ever seen. Your neighbors and friends may not know about this fire because they do not see it; but it is real, and they are in danger of being caught in this fire forever. Yes, forever! This fire is the fire of hell, and it is where any person who does not believe in Jesus Christ will spend eternity. But there is Good News! Any person who trusts Jesus Christ as his personal Savior will not only be able to escape that fire of hell, but will also spend eternity with God in heaven!
In Mark 16:15, Christ commands His disciples to tell the world this Good News. But, this command is not only for the disciples in Jesus' time. If you are a one of Jesus' followers if you have acknowledged that Jesus is Lord and believed that God has raised Him from the dead then this command to tell the Good News is for you. You must go and tell others about the Good News of Jesus Christ! Just as you have the responsibility of warning your neighbor that his house is on fire, so you have the responsibility of telling him that Jesus Christ can save him.
God commands His people to tell others about Jesus Christ.
My Response:» Whom do I know that does not know Jesus Christ?» Have I obeyed God's command to tell my friends and neighbors the Good News of Jesus Christ?
"Pray often; for prayer is a shield to the soul, a sacrifice to God, and a scourge for Satan."
John Bunyan was born in England on November 30, 1628. He was sixteen years old when England was going through a civil war in 1644. He became a soldier. One particular afternoon, young Bunyan was suddenly called away from his post. A fellow soldier took his place and was killed shortly thereafter. He would likely have died as a teenager if this soldier hadn't traded places with him that day, and there was no doubt in his mind that God had something important planned for his life.
Like his working-class family before him, Bunyan grew up learning the trade of a tinker, or a brazier – someone who mends pots and kettles. When Bunyan got married in his early twenties, he and his wife were very poor (she had been an orphan). All they owned were a couple of Christian books which her father had left her before his death. They both treasured and read the books often. Bunyan, especially, was influenced by what he read. He was realizing that his current lifestyle and choices were wrong.
Eventually, because of this conviction over sin, he trusted Jesus Christ to be the Savior and Lord of his whole life. With the changes in his new lifestyle came also the desires to preach and to share the Gospel. God's grace had made such a difference in his life!
John Bunyan became a preacher at a time in England's history when preaching outside of the state church's approval was considered a crime. The leaders of the day believed that rightly-preached doctrine would start a rebellion. Bunyan kept preaching, anyway. He felt compelled to share the Gospel of grace.
He was convicted of preaching against the law and was sent to prison for twelve long years. This was a painful time of constant separation from his wife and children, and they remained impoverished, since there was not very much Bunyan could do from his prison cell to bring in money.
He did do a lot of thinking and writing while he was in prison. It was during this time in prison that he wrote Pilgrim's Progress – the greatest Christian allegory ever written. An "allegory" is simply a story told with word pictures. Missionaries everywhere still translate Pilgrim's Progress into the language of their people to share this story with those they wish to win.
Do you think it was difficult for John Bunyan to know his family was suffering in his absence? Do you think he wondered sometimes whether God was really taking care of them, or whether he had made a mistake? Have you ever read Pilgrim's Progress and learned a little more about how to understand the Gospel through its allegorical stories? Do you believe that God can use the difficult circumstances in your life for His greatest glory and for your greatest good?
Romans 8:28 – And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
The Lord Our Righteousness - Jehovah Tiskenu
Jeremiah 23:6 "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
I am sinful in every part of who I am, and I really, really need God! Rom 7:18 -- For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
The term "born again" was first used by Jesus as he spoke to "Nicodemus", a ruler of the Jews. Jesus was explaining that in order to enter into the kingdom of God (heaven), that we have two births. One birth is a physical birth, which is of water. The second birth is a spiritual birth which is of the Spirit. The spiritual birth comes when one accepts Jesus as his Lord and Saviour and is adopted into the family of God. (John 3:5-7) "Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again."

A WANDERERS fan was so fed up with his team's lack of goals that he ran onto the pitch with a beach ball to score himself, a court heard.
Bolton Magistrates Court heard how the Whites' match against Nottingham Forest was halted as 23-year-old Dean Brooks attempted to find the back of the net with the inflatable ball.
The court did not impose a football banning order on season ticket-holder Brooks deciding the move would be disproportionate to his crime.
Nicola Ormerod, prosecuting, told magistrates how Brooks, of Malton Avenue, Deane, was in the lower seating area at the Macron Stadium on August 22.
At 4.45pm, frustrated by his team's performance, Brooks spotted a beach ball nearby, picked it up, ran to and opened a gate near the advertising hoardings and kicked the ball onto the pitch.
The referee halted the game as Brooks ran after it onto the field, attempting to score himself before he was grabbed by stewards. "The moment got the better of him," said Miss Ormerod. "Bolton Wanderers weren't doing too well with goals and he wanted to add to the tally."
She added that the incident was an isolated one which did not lead to a pitch invasion and Brooks was removed from the ground.
Peter Leather, defending said Brooks has supported Wanderers for many years and attends all the home games.
"He is not a drinker and not, by nature, a troublemaker," said Mr Leather. "Towards the end of the match there was no score and he was somewhat frustrated by that. Without stopping to think, he foolishly knocked the ball onto the pitch and followed it, trying to knock it into the goal.
"I am sure a lesson has been learnt by him."
Brooks, who pleaded guilty to illegally going onto a playing area, was fined £175 and ordered to pay £85 prosecution costs and a £20 victim surcharge.
Chairman of the bench, Peter Sloan told him: "It was a really stupid thing you did that day. People would get annoyed by that sort of behaviour and it could have caused trouble in the ground."
Speaking after the sentence, Brooks said he was relieved that he had not received a banning order so he could continue taking his nephews and niece to games.
"I regret doing it – it has caused a lot of bother," he said.
Brooks, whose only experience of playing football is kick-about games with his nephew, said he had been hoping to fire the beach ball into the goal. He added: "But with the first touch I sent it into the crowd instead. I think I'll stick to triathlons from now on."

He only had one pic of the car and hasn't been home to send me any more pics. Says there is 1 small surface rust near the sunroof smaller than the size of a dime and barely noticeable. I'll basically be taking the money with me the first time I see it.
He was asking $750 but I have talked him down to $550. Do you guys think it's worth it? I'd probably end up slamming the dog p!ss out of it and standing it. Give me your opinions!

The woes of some retailer seem to be endless. There has been a shift of consumers to other breakfast options from the traditional idea of having cereals. This has brought a list of problems to the cereal providers who are highly dependent on cereal sales for their survival. According to Wall Street journal, cereal volume sales have dropped 3% in the last 12 months.
Therefore, it is obvious that companies such as Kellogg (NYSE:K) and General Mills (NYSE:GIS) are facing the effects. Even ConAgra (NYSE:CAG) is among those companies, as clearly evident from its recently reported fourth quarter numbers. However, it was not only cereal sales, which have dragged the retailer's performance down. There is more to it. Let us understand.
Shift in customer preference
- Warning! GuruFocus has detected 6 Warning Signs with K. Click here to check it out.
- K 30-Year Financial Data
- The intrinsic value of K
- Peter Lynch Chart of K
Revenue dropped 3% over last year, clocking in at $4.4 billion. This drop in sales was mainly because of lower sales witnessed in the Consumer Foods segment. Revenue from this segment declined 7.4% over last year as volumes fell 7%. Also, unfavorable currency movements affected revenue by 1%. However, these were partly offset because of the increase in prices.
One of the bright spots for ConAgra was the Commercial segment, which registered a growth of 1% as sales from Lamb Weston potato business increased. But sales from Private Brands remained flat at $1 billion. This segment comprises cereal sales, company's own products and newly acquired Ralcorp Holdings' products.
Cereal business has been doing badly mainly because of the emergence of so many breakfast options such as sandwiches and smoothies. Even General Mills reported a 3% decline in its overall revenue since volumes were affected due to lower consumer demand. However, the company is making efforts to expand its cereal business by introducing new varieties of the same.
For instance, Kellogg is marketing cereals as an evening snack. This additional usage of cereals should help in boosting its sales.
Digging in
Although companies are finding ways to overcome the problem of lower demand, there are other difficulties too. Food costs have been rising which is putting a pressure on ConAgra's bottom line as well as its margins. Also, offering higher discounts to customers, in order to boost private label sales, hampered its earnings. This led to a drop in the earnings to $0.55 per share from $0.60 per share, in the prior year's quarter.
Acquisition of Ralcorp Holdings in 2012 was made to expand the private brands segment, which was growing remarkably at that time. This was because cash strapped consumers wanted low priced products after the recession. However, preferences changed and now customers seem to be moving away from such products and are looking for national brands. Hence, private label grocery store product sales have declined to 21.9% of total unit sales from 29%, a few years back. Hence, this acquisition did little to help ConAgra's top line.
Key points to note
Nonetheless, the company is trying to overcome the tough situation by marketing its products well and diversifying its product portfolio. Also, it plans to cut its costs in order to save its bottom line to plunge further. It plans to pay off its debt during the year in order to decrease SG&A costs. Also, ConAgra declared that it will continue to pay a dividend of $1.00 per share, which delighted the investors to some extent. However, the prevailing problems and lack of demand makes me doubtful about the food retailer's prospects. Staying away from this company is a better idea.

Want to bring TUNO back!!! Help me on the how...
After posting a few recipes in my blog, KarmaFree Cooking using TUNO, I just learned that Worthington, a company now owned by Kellogg's has discontinued the product. WHY???? For vegetarians, this is the best readily available tuna-like product "formerly available".
I would like to write the company a letter with a petition to bring the product back... because everytime I mention this to people, they are surprised and very dissapointed.
What's the best way to collect electronic signatures/names of people who support this "cause" too?? Should I do it in this forum - A Serious Eats Talk thread?? or do you know of any other way to do it??
I remember seeing right here in Serious Eats some sort of electronic petition to keep a NYC sandwich place open... I even signed the thing, but now I can't remember where or how to do it.
Any ideas or suggestions??

The White House is on guard against attempts to link problems at the Secret Service and the General Services Administration to President Obama's management style.
Obama campaign adviser David Axelrod said the president removed officials from the GSA amid reports of wasteful spending, and is awaiting the results of an investigation into the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia.
"There's going to be misbehavior in any large organization," Axelrod said on NBC's Meet The Press. "The question is when people do, how do you deal with it? What do you learn from it? What systems do you put in place for keeping it from happening again?"
Axelrod was responding to a comment by U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.: "The president needs to assert discipline, management direction throughout the executive branch and presidents are to be held responsible. I don't sense that this president is showing that kind of managerial leadership."
Axelrod, pointing out that the speaker is a Republican, joked "that's really shocking because Senator Sessions is generally so supportive of the president."
He added: "The point here is, you don't want a president who shoots first and asks questions later."
Few Republicans fault Obama over the Secret Service scandal.
But some, such as Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, said the president's team had an early warning of GSA spending problems, such as a now-famous $820,000 management conference in Las Vegas. The problems forced the removal of GSA administrator Martha Johnson.
"In the case of GSA, the administration clearly bears responsibility," Collins said on ABC's This Week. "Because the head of that agency received an alert from the inspector general way last year that there were problems ... and took no action."
Johnson "was a member of the president's administration, and she deserved to be fired, and the president is responsible in that case," Collins said.
Back over on NBC, Axelrod said Obama was "apoplectic" over the GSA problems.
"This was very enraging to him and, of course, he acted quickly and the administration acted quickly and changed the management there," Axelrod said.
The Secret Service investigation into the incident in Colombia is ongoing.
"This is really disturbing," Axelrod said. "We have to get to the bottom of it and I'm sure that we will."

WASHINGTON (AP) The maker of a weight-loss drug suggested Wednesday that prospective users be screened for depression, seeking to limit damage from a finding that the medication increases the risk of suicidal behavior.
In studies, patients given the once-daily tablet reported twice as many psychiatric side effects, including depression, anxiety and sleep problems, as those who received sham treatment, Dr. Amy Egan, a Food and Drug Administration medical officer, told federal health advisers.
"The numbers of events are small, but in aggregate they are worrisome," Egan said.
Officials from Sanofi-Aventis SA, the manufacturer of the drug, suggested patients be screened for depression before they are prescribed the drug, rimonabant. They also advised that patients visit their doctors five times during the first year of treatment to be reassessed.
"Who is the right patient to receive rimonabant? Not everybody," Sanofi-Aventis' Richard Gural told the panel of advisers. The drug is not appropriate for anyone with a history of depression or suicidal thoughts, or who has been diagnosed with depression or is taking antidepressant medication, he added.
The FDA is expected to decide by July 27 whether to allow the drug on the market. The company proposes selling it under the brand name Zimulti. Rimonabant already is sold in Europe as Acomplia.
The agency isn't required to follow the advice of its outside advisers, but it does so most of the time.
"My general feeling is I agree there is an underestimation of the psychiatric risk associated with this drug," said Dr. Domenic Ciraulo, a Boston Medical Center and Boston University psychiatrist, a member of the FDA advisory board considering the drug.
The findings make it highly likely the first-in-its-class drug would bear stern warnings if it is approved. Company officials embraced the idea of such warnings, which could exclude FDA-approved use in some patients.
Zimulti, when used in conjunction with a modest calorie diet and physical exercise, significantly decreases body weight and waist circumference in overweight or obese patients, according to Sanofi-Aventis. In year-long studies, patients on the drug lost roughly 14 pounds. Those given dummy pills lost only about 4 pounds. Patients regained weight when treatment was stopped after a year, the company said.
FDA reviewers didn't question whether Zimulti works but remained worried the drug's effect on the body could lead to an array of psychiatric symptoms, including anxiety, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorders and depression.
The company believes those increased cases were associated with depression or other disorders and weren't directly caused by its drug. Egan, however, said they were.
"We strongly believe that it is causal," Egan said. She noted 88% of those reporting psychiatric problems while on the drug had no prior history of depression.
Furthermore, patients in the studies were carefully screened and monitored, suggesting the problems would be more common should the drug enter broad use, Egan added.
The screenings proposed by the company won't keep the depressed and obese from Zimulti, warned Lynn McAfee, head of medical advocacy for the Council on Size & Weight Discrimination, a fat acceptance group.
"If this gets out to be a real big deal in the public, you can figure out how to answer those questions to get the drug," McAfee said. "It's not going to stop anyone."
The potential market for the drug is huge, as obesity rates have exploded in the past two decades. Today, nearly one in three American adults age 20 or older is obese, according to government data.
Dr. Sidney Wolfe, of the advocacy group Public Citizen, said the obese are more likely to be depressed. Many of them likely would take Zimulti along with the antidepressants they already use — with unknown consequences, Wolfe told panelists.
Rimonabant blocks the same pleasure centers in the body activated when pot smokers get the munchies. Blocking the receptors leads to patients eating less and losing weight. Sanofi-Aventis also believes the drug decreases fat storage.
The FDA previously told the French company it would not approve the drug to help smokers quit.
Sanofi-Aventis seeks to sell 20-milligram Zimulti tablets to the obese and to those who are overweight and have type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or other conditions that put them at risk of cardiovascular disease.
There currently are two FDA-approved prescription drugs for the long-term treatment of obesity: Meridia, an appetite suppressant, and Xenical, which limits the amount of fat the body can absorb. Sales of Alli, a lower dose version of Xenical that won't require a prescription, start this week.
Heart problems led to the withdrawal of the diet drug fenfluramine in 1997. It had made up with phentermine the popular yet unapproved fen-phen combination treatment.

Faced with a boycott after banning assault-weapons sales, promoters cancel show
This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by OKNancy (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).
Faced with a boycott by gun enthusiasts and fierce criticism from the National Rifle Association, a British exhibition company is postponing indefinitely its show 10 days after announcing a ban on assault-weapons sales at the event. In a statement released Thursday, Reed Exhibitions said it had halted plans for the Eastern Sports and Outdoors Show, scheduled for Feb. 2 to 10, because of controversy surrounding its decision not to let vendors sell a class of weapons the company called modern sporting rifles (MSRs). That decision was driven by concerns about the post-Newtown atmosphere.
'In the current climate, we felt that the presence of MSRs would distract from the theme of hunting and fishing, disrupting the broader experience of our guests,' Chet Burchett, president of Reed's Exhibitions for the Americas, which is based in Connecticut, said in a statement. 'It has become very clear to us after speaking with our customers that the event could not be held because the atmosphere of this year's show would not be conducive to an event that is designed to provide family enjoyment.'
Last year the show - billed as the largest of its kind in North America - generated an estimated $80 million for the region's businesses, including hotels and restaurants that relied on the show's turnout during a slow month.
David Black, president of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber of Commerce, said that the absence of the show, held in the mammoth Farm Show complex, would hurt first-quarter profits for many small businesses in the area, but that they will recover. "It's a blip on the economic radar," Black said. "Our hope at the chamber is that [the show] will return - if not this year, next year."

1. Reed folded
Next year the show will be back with the rifles. And every other gun show promoter just sat up and took not on what not to do.
Like it or not, the NRA won this battle.

Research Overview
Our goal is to understand fundamental signaling processes that lead to immune-mediated disease. Our approach is to focus on the molecular mechanisms involved in the activation and regulation of the NF-kB family transcription factors. To this end, we have established a genetics research program to evaluate individuals with known or currently undiagnosed rare genetic syndromes characterized by phenotypes of autoimmunity or inflammatory disease in the setting of immune deficiency.
Molecular Characterization of Signaling Defects in NEMO Syndrome
NF-kB plays a crucial role in gene expression both during normal development and within the context of the immune response. Hypomorphic mutation in NEMO, a key regulator of the NF-kB pathway, results in a primary immunodeficiency, which in some cases, is accompanied by inflammatory disease. At the NIH Clinical Research Center, we study individuals with mutation in NEMO. Our earlier work indicates that genotype/phenotype correlations exist in NEMO Syndrome, and that inflammatory disease phenotypes occur due to mutation in one of two hot-spots of the gene. One of these hot-spots codes for a domain in the C-terminus that recognizes polyubiquitin chains. Our most recent work indicates that this domain regulates canonical IKK kinase activity by recruiting a negative regulator upon receptor activation (Figure 1). We found that the second hot-spot appears to be critical in regulating the production of proinflammatory cytokines and type I interferon in response to viral infection (Figure 2). Ongoing work suggests that processing of the p65 subunit of NF-kB by the kinase TBK1 is dependent on this second domain. The molecular mechanisms elucidated by the study of NEMO mutations found in our patients mutations apply to inflammatory diseases as disparate as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus and Crohns disease.
Finding Novel Genetic Causes of Inflammatory Disease
In addition to studying individuals with known NEMO mutation, we also evaluate individuals with NEMO-like Syndrome whose clinical phenotypes suggest mutation in a gene that is functionally related to NF-kB activation. In collaboration with investigators at NIAID, we are evaluating two boys with NEMO-like Syndrome, which has led us to the discovery of IL-21R deficiency as a cause of primary immunodeficiency.
Future Directions
We have generated induced pluripotent (IPS) cell lines from our patients bearing NEMO and IL-21R mutation. Current work involves developing methods to differentiate IPS cells to monocyte-like and T cell-like cells in a xeno-free system. Our goal is to eventually use these cells therapeutically in humans. Another current major effort is the use of powerful new gene-editing approaches to correct disease-causing mutations in IPS cells derived from patients. Using genomic techniques, we plan to use differentiated patient-derived IPS cells to determine the cell-specific differential roles of NEMO in NF-kB activation. In addition, we are currently generating NEMO knock-in mice to further understand how altered signaling events lead to disease, and how IPS cells and their derivatives may eventually be used therapeutically.
Figure 1: The NEMO C-terminus ubiquitin binding domain negatively regulates TNF and TLR-induced NF-kB activation by recruiting A20 (A). In its absence, canonical IKK activity is enhanced (B).

Detailed Description:
The worldwide epidemic of overweight and obesity affects about 1.7 billion people around the world. Since 1991, many international medical societies have established as recommendation for bariatric surgery the unsuccessful clinical treatment in patients with IMC > 40Kg/m2 or IMC > 35Kg/m2 in the cases with serious co-morbidities related to the possible reversion of them with the lose of weight due to the surgery. In front of the new anatomical condition from the gastrointestinal tract the patients present changes in food preferences and in the food intake, which include modifications in food choices, perception of hungry and satiety and in the tolerance to determinate food. These changes in food intake of the patients are observed mostly in the first year after the surgery an adaptive phase to a new condition.

This surgery provides disabsortion by duodenal derivation maintaining an intact stomach
Detailed Description:
After the new anatomical condition of the gastrointestinal tract, provided by bariatric surgery leads patients to experience changes in food intake and behavior. The aim of this study was to assess alimentary habits, food intolerances and gastrointestinal symptoms in patients who underwent bariatric and metabolic procedures: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, biliopancreatic diversion and duodenal exclusion. We studied 34 patients of both sexes, from outpatient clinics in Surgery of Obesity and the Metabolic Surgery at University of Campinas. They were submitted to bypass gastric in Roux-en-Y (n=15), biliopancreatic diversion (n=9) and duodenal exclusion (n=10). Validated questionnaire for assessment of food tolerance was applied in patients with more than six months of follow-up after surgery addressing diet and gastrointestinal symptoms. The descriptive and comparative analyses were performed by analysis of variance and bivariate correlation. In patients who underwent to bypass gastric food intolerance was greats regarding to ingestion of rice (33%) and red meat (33%) in comparison to others groups. The flatulence and diarrhea were more prevalent in patients who underwent biliopancreatic diversion. The vomiting was more prevalent in patients who underwent gastric bypass. Each procedure presents peculiarities to the anatomical and functional changes that affect the food absorption. This may have negative effects on the nutritional status of patients and affect the quality of life. The nutritional therapy for each individual procedure may assist in the management of clinical concerns of operated patients

Nine Entertainment Co's earnings fell 14 per cent against a revenue decline of 4 per cent in 2011-12.
The diversified media company posted adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation of $238 million – or $40 million below the previous year.
Revenue was $1.197 billion, down from $1.242 billion in the previous year, documents lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission show.
Television expenses from its Nine Network rose 11 per cent to $924 million, while other expenses declined 5 per cent to $145 million.
Operating cash flow was negative $17 million, compared with positive $45 million in 2010-11, mainly due to a 12 per cent fall in receipts from customers.
Nine paid $394 million in financing costs (down $6 million) to service its $3.8 billion in debt (as at June 30).
It recorded a net loss after tax of $972 million, compared with a net loss of $428 million in 2010-11.
Nine booked $784 million in write-offs, mostly relating to its TV licence. In October, Nine reached an in-principle agreement with lenders for a recapitalisation, which is expected to be ratified in early 2013.

Soccer round-up
Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.
Photo: Martin Meissner
Juventus set to sell stars
ITALY Juventus has plans to sell seven of its stars if it is relegated to Serie B for its part in the Italian match-fixing scandal. Faced with a massive drop in income, Juventus has decided that to balance the books it will have to sell Italy's World Cup-winning captain Fabio Cannavaro (left), goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon, winger Mauro Camoranesi and defender Gianluca Zambrotta. France internationals Patrick Vieira, Lilian Thuram and David Trezeguet would also be put up for sale. Cannavaro is set to be the first to leave, with Real Madrid confirming it was close to signing him.
Victorious Lippi exits
ITALY Coach Marcello Lippi has resigned three days after guiding the Azzurri to their fourth World Cup title, saying he feels he and his son Davide were attacked in the scandal tainting the Serie A. "At the end of an extraordinary professional and human experience I believe my role is over as the guide of the Italian national team," Lippi said. While he is not under investigation, he was questioned before the World Cup about alleged pressure to select certain players for the Azzurri. His son is being investigated.
Poland picks Beenhakker
POLAND Trinidad and Tobago's World Cup mentor Leo Beenhakker has been appointed Poland's national coach. He replaces Pawel Janas. The 64-year-old Dutchman is the first non-Pole to coach Poland's national team, which made a first-round exit from the World Cup. Beenhakker had expressed interest in the vacant Socceroos position.
Klinsmann walks away
GERMANY Juergen Klinsmann, who coached Germany to third place at the World Cup, has stepped down. Chancellor Angela Merkel and Franz Beckenbauer, Germany's most influential soccer figure, had urged Klinsmann to stay, as had the players, led by captain Michael Ballack.
Domenech reappointed
FRANCE Raymond Domenech has accepted an extension to his two-year contract as the French coach. France lost the World Cup final to Italy on penalties. One of the main challenges facing Domenech now is to find replacements for Zinedine Zidane, Lilian Thuram and Claude Makelele. Patrick Vieira should take over from Zidane as captain, while FIFA has announced an investigation into the circumstances around Zidane's headbutt of Italian Marco Materazzi.
United keeps Ronaldo
ENGLAND Portugal's World Cup winger Cristiano Ronaldo is not for sale, according to Manchester United. "Cristiano recently signed a new contract until 2010 and the club fully expects him to honour that contract. The club will not listen to any offers for Cristiano," a club statement said. Speculation grew that Ronaldo might want to move after his role in clubmate Wayne Rooney's send-off from the World Cup quarter-final against England.
Ronaldinho says sorry
BRAZIL Ronaldinho apologised for Brazil's failure at the World Cup. "I regret having left the World Cup without showing our true capabilities," he said. "There is nothing I can say to change the past. For this reason I want to say sorry."

Purchased my Tercel with 82,000 miles on it...Just rolled it over to 337,000 miles with nothing but very basic and limted manitance. At 325K I had to replace the first rotor and a windshield washer pump. Been a great little car!
Essentially bulletproof. Only issues: starter and second oxygen sensor. The starter just failed, at about 75,000 miles. It turned out to NOT be the sensor, but the exhaust pipe. The biggest challenge is/was finding a good, trustworthy shop, as it is with any car.
