I ended my road trip in Somerset (England) with 3 workshops. My first class was taught by Orly Avineri and I made this :
It was the second time this year that I had the opportunity to spent a little time with her (after meeting her for the first time in New Jersey).
She is fabulous. She really is my mentor.
Everything I make is dedicated to her. Always.

passeport journal
For one of the class I took with Orly Avineri in New Jersey back in july, we had to bring an old passeport to work with. The class was called "just a formality". I had to leave the workshop early to catch my flight back to Belgium but I wanted to paint a lot more in it.
Last week, I finally found the time to finish it (painting, gluing, attaching).
It contains scraps of paper that I kept in a box (the cover of my first music tape, a love note I wrote to my mother when I was 6, some stickers I brought back from Mauritius 15 years ago, etc.)

The Honest Kitchen was proud to be in attendance for the Weinerschnitzle Weiner Dog Races held August 29th, at the Qualcomm Stadium Rugby Fields. According to Tess, who staffed our booth that day, "It was the best event!" It looked to be a great turn out and an excited, albeit warm, crowd.
The top sixteen dogs from the qualifying round advanced to the San Diego final on September 1st. The top eight dogs of the San Diego final then advance to the Port of San Diego Big Bay Balloon Parade presented by the San Diego County Credit Union on December 30.
This year's finalists receive the opportunity to march with the Wienerschnitzel float in the nationally televised parade.
Any dachshunds were invited to participate!
Thanks Tess!

For decades the Democratic Party has scared senior citizens before every election with phony accusations that Republicans would reduce or eliminate their Social Security benefits. Even while Republican elected and party officials have urged fiscal responsibility to ensure Social Security and Medicare could be stabilized, Democrats have engaged in scare tactics to win elections while unnerving seniors.
We have a Democrat presidential administration and Democrats control both houses of Congress. Now that they have control, what is their first order of business? Democrats have put a freeze on Social Security cost of living increases — the first in 35 years — reducing all recipients' income.
This is an outrage. The Obama administration is asking seniors to swallow this bitter pill at the same time. Seniors whose average federal remuneration is less than $14,000 per year are getting zero COLA while federal employees whose average annual salary is $79,000 per year are getting 2 percent COLA.
No one is disparaging the right of hard-working public servants to a cost of living increase, but one has to see the disparity. Where are our local Democratic congressional leaders in decrying these actions? Is this administration's popularity more important than the financial hardships of its constituents?
The missing cost of living increase could have absorbed most of the increased cost of electricity the administration's cap and trade bill will cost us. A 2 percent increase could help offset increased health insurance premiums that government-run health care is sure to bring.
After decades of hearing that fiscally conservative Republicans were somehow a threat to their well-earned benefits, seniors now have to ask our Democratic president and elected officials why they are the ones hurting seniors' pocketbooks and undercutting a promise.

Some of you folks may be a bit surprised by the "rather low" ratings in the verdicts here at photozone.de. This isn't really intentional but you're simply experiencing a cultural effect. Photozone.de is located in Germany and locally the word "average" means just that - reads: "average" is in between of better and worse. So this is strictly different compared to the more popular anglo-american style meaning of the word where an "average" is equivalent to about as bad as it gets. Now you may argue that this is confusing but remember that this may be confusing for you but less so for visitors from different countries (thus different cultural backgrounds). We at photozone.de do firmly believe that "feel good" ratings are pointless - it neither helps you to choose nor does it help the manufacturers to get better.
the technical maximum with a little sanity very good but there is a little room for improvements good/average in the true sense sub-average in the true sense poor
Beyond these ratings you may sometimes see the following icon:
This indicates that the product stands out from the rest of the crowd. This doesn't necessarily originate in a 5-star rating - it is a "context" rating relative to competing products.

I don't think this is too new, but I certainly missed it.
For the busy viewer, watch the first 15 seconds or so to get the idea, then skip ahead to 3 minutes 1 second to get to the meat of it.
(Hat tip: Frischer Wind)
It seems to me that all you need, with these devices, is a kind of "smoke detector" that detects anything wrong … terrorists, disgruntlement among the passengers, running out of the preferred dinner option … whatever. On activation, the "smoke detector" (let's call it a "Potential National Security Situation Detection Device") .. simply activates all of the EMD technology. Everybody goes down at once.
But really, the easiest way to do this is going to be to plant a chip in everyone's head.

What Must I do to be Saved?
Do you see what is happening around the world today? Do you think that we may be living in the end times? If you have come to this site seeking the truth about the end times, and you want to know how to be saved, then please carefully read this page and find out the truth.
"Oh, but I'm too sinful to be saved!" No! It matters not who you are, or what you have done. Jesus Christ has already secured your salvation on the cross! You just need to accept this great gift of love and follow Jesus by faith.
John 1:29 ...'Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.'
The conditions of obtaining the mercy of God are simple and just. God does not require us to do grievous penance or make some great pilgrimage. No! God's love is so complete, we need only confess and forsake our sin, and we will obtain mercy through the Son of God who took the punishment for us.
Oh 'behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed upon us!' (1 John 3:1)
"If we confess and forsake our sin; if we come to Jesus in penitence and humility of soul, acknowledging our inability to remove one spot or stain of sin, and relying wholly on the merits of a crucified Saviour, we may expect forgiveness; for his word is pledged. He has said that he will pardon our transgressions, and blot out our sins. We must dwell upon the matchless love and compassion of Jesus, and not upon our own unworthiness and sinfulness. If we look to ourselves, all will be darkness; but Jesus is all light and life, and we have only to 'look and live.' We may look 'unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame.' [Heb. 12:2.] What tenderness, what mercy, what love, are here manifested!" (Gospel Workers, p.437)
Eternal life is within your grasp! Reach out and claim it!
The Bible reveals that everyone (except Jesus Christ) has sinned ... Romans 3:23 ...'For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.' ... And what is sin defined as? ... 1 John 3:4 ...'Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.' ... What law? The Ten commandments.
And what is the penalty of sin? ... Romans 6:23 ...' For the wages of sin is death.'
So if we have all sinned and "come short of the glory of God", and we all deserve death, then how can we be saved? Can we earn salvation? ... Romans 6:23 ...'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.'
Ephesians 2:8 ...'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' ... So salvation (the grace of God - eternal life) is a GIFT! So if it's a gift, then it cannot be earned by anyone. It is free, and is waiting for every one of us to accept it. No matter how bad your sins have been. No matter what you have done in the past, this gift is waiting for you to accept it. So how do we accept it?
First, we need to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and came to this earth in the form of man to die for us and our sins ... 2 Corinthians 5:21 ...'For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.'... He died the death that we deserve, so that we may live the life that only He deserves. We need to believe that Jesus rose from the dead and now sits on the throne of God in Heaven ... John 20:31 ...'But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.'
Please Note: Why is Christ Jesus the ONLY way? Because there was a price to pay for our sin against God and the only way that price could be paid, was by the perfect, obedient life and sacrifice of the Son of God. Jesus is the ONLY One who has paid that price with His own life. "None but the Son of God could accomplish our redemption; for only He who was in the bosom of the Father could declare Him. Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God could make it manifest. Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice made by Christ in behalf of fallen man could express the Father's love to lost humanity." (Steps to Christ, p.13-14)
Now although the grace of God is a free gift and no one can earn it, we still have a part to play, because God doesn't bestow this gift on anyone who doesn't accept it, or anyone who doesn't want to follow Jesus. So what else do we need to do to accept this gift? We need to ask Jesus into our lives, to take control and to change us:
Acts 2:21 ...'And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'
Revelation 3:20 ...'Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.'
Important Point: Jesus told us that only those who accept the kingdom of God as a little child can be saved (Mark 10:15). This means we are to bow humbly before the Word of God and accept it as it is, just like a little child. We are not to become 'puffed up' in our own 'wisdom' and think we have something to add to God's already plain truth. So please bear that in mind, as MANY a man has fallen away from grace by losing that child like attitude towards Jesus and His truth.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - Being able to get to fires faster is all about putting firefighters in strategic locations.
To accomplish this goal, the Wilmington Fire Department will be moving four fire stations into two larger centralized locations. Officials with the WFD said the goal is to put responders in more strategic locations while doing all the necessary updates with a new facility.
"The current facilities we are looking to consolidate into the two new facilities aren't handicap accessible, energy efficient or big enough for all the vehicles and equipment," said David Hines with the WFD.
Stations included in this change are Station #3 on Princess Place Drive, Station #4 on Wallace Drive, Station #5 Wellington Avenue and Station #6 on Carolina Beach Road.
The new, centralized and up-to-date facilities will be on Cinema Drive and on Shipyard Boulevard near Carolina Beach Road.
The determination was made these were the best new locations based on data that showed where the highest call volume came from.
Each new station will cost between $2.2 and $2.8 million based on how bids come back and city council approval.
Construction could begin as soon as the start of the new year.

Dana Edwin DeWitty was born on November 28, 1962 in Travis County, Texas to Velma and Ural Edward DeWitty, Dr. Dana graduated from McCallum High School in 1982. He worked at the Austin State Hospital at the time of his death. Dana was shot in the head at the home of Elizabeth Richardson in Southeast Austin on May 12, 1985 by Elizabeth's father, Ben Richardson. Testimony at the trial indicated that Richardson, who was white, did not approve of his daughter's relationship with an African-American man, and that he mistook DeWitty for the boyfriend. Dana died on May 16th of the same year.
Benjamin Franklin Richardson was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in November 1985 after a jury rejected prosecutor's arguments that he should be convicted of murder in the killing of Dana. Three black organizations criticized the jury verdict, saying that racism played a role in the decision. The Black Citizens Task Force, the Black Students Alliance and the Steve Biko Committee charged that the verdict was evidence that the court system was preferential toward whites.
The Papers are a small collection of materials related to the DeWitty family found in an attic of a house by a new owner. Of significance are the materials related to the death of Dana DeWitty in 1985 which include the memorial tribute book and program from the funeral, letters written to the Travis County District Attorney Ronald Earle asking for justice in the killing of DeWitty and newspaper clippings about the shooting. Also included in the collection is a 1985 letter praising Dana's mother Velma DeWitty's job performance at the Austin State Hospital, usher board materials from the St. Stephen Baptist Church, and assorted funeral programs. In addition there are a number of unidentified photographs that are presumed to be of the DeWitty family.

Just How Much Bigger Is Government in Canada? A Comparative Analysis of the Size and Structure of the Public Sectors in Canada and the United States, 19292004
We compare the size and structure of the public sectors of Canada and the United States from 1929 to 2004 using national accounting and employment data. The challenge of defining the public sector for comparative purposes is explored and illustrated, especially with respect to the treatment of non-profits, and a number of intriguing similarities and differences in the comparative evolution of the public sectors are identified that remain to be explained. Use of a new Fisher-type government deflator for Canada indicates that, as of 2003, real government spending relative to real income was about 27 percent of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in both countries.

'Real Housewives of Miami' Star Joanna Krupa Confesses She's 'Deprived of Sex': 'How Often Do I Get It? Once-a-Week If I'm Lucky' (EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW)
On Wednesday, the 33-year-old model turned reality TV star held nothing back when she sat down with The Daily Buzz for a very candid chat.
"I feel deprived. I'm deprived of sex. I am," Krupa confessed to Celebuzz Editor in Chief Dylan Howard.
"I don't get it as much as I would like to . . . every day would be nice."
Krupa, who has been engaged to Zago for five years, also credits some of her relationship troubles to her bi-costal life in Los Angeles and Miami.
"I think that's also a big issue for him because obviously he would want us under one roof, but I'm a businesswoman. I can't give up and sacrifice my career, my future for a man, especially being engaged for so many years. I've always been very independent, I take care of myself," she said.
What else did Krupa reveal about her relationship, and does she think she'll ever walk down the aisle with Zago?
"We will see. We have a love hate relationship," Krupa told Howard.
"Right now I love him . . . in five minutes, ask me again."
The Polish-American beauty, who joined The Real Housewives of Miami over the summer for season two, also told us that the three and a half months of filming actually helped with her relationship.
"It was definitely great therapy, I think, for both of us. No matter what happens from this day forward with us, it was great therapy," Krupa said.

President Obama has invited Mitt Romney to a private lunch at the White House tomorrow, which officially makes Romney part of the 47% who just want "free stuff" from the President.
His share of the popular vote, which stuck around 49 percent on election night, continued to fall as votes came in. Last week Greg Sargent rang the alarm, warning/gloating that Romney might sink below 47.5 percent of the vote. Yesterday, Aaron Blake announced Romney's arrival at 47.4 percent, and started rounding down. I gave the guy more time. But now, via David Wasserman's invaluable chart, we can make it official: Romney is down to 47.43 percent of the vote, making it impossible to round up. He is the 47 percent.

Prosperous Armenia party MP says the government must resign
YEREVAN, April 2. / ARKA /. An Armenian parliament member from the Prosperous Armenia party called on the government today to resign following a decision of the Constitutional Court that invalidated a number of provisions of a new pension law that took effect on January 1.
"All I can say now is that this government must resign if it has a sense of political responsibility," Naira Zohrabyan, head of the Prosperous Armenia Party's parliamentary faction, said to reporters today.
The Constitutional Court said on April 2 the clauses in the law "that impose certain obligations to the citizens limit some of their rights guaranteed by the Constitution."
The court temporarily suspended the law in January, days after it came into force, after thousands protested against it in Yerevan.
According to the new law, citizens born after January 1, 1974, must contribute 5 percent of their monthly salaries to a pension fund and the government must match that contribution with another 5 percent, not to exceed 25,000 drams ($61) per month.
According to a recent public opinion survey conducted by Gallup International Association, more than 88% of respondents in Yerevan were against the mandatory funded pension system. -0 -

Probate is the legal process used to carry out a person's will after their death; a probate attorney advises you on how to perform the steps in the process. In general, once you have identified and collected the dead person's belongings, including their money, property, and other assets, you pay the person's debts and taxes. Once all debts have been paid, you distribute their money and property according to the language of the will. If there is no will, the laws of the state where the dead person lived control how the property is distributed. A probate attorney helps you plan what happens to your property when you die, as they can probate wills and act as your probate court estate representative. A probate attorney also represents family members and beneficiaries wishing to challenge wills.

International presentation at Shaler Area helps students expand horizons
Shaler Area High School hosted international guest Ichiro Fujisaki, the former Japanese ambassador to the United States, in a seminar that involved eight Western Pennsylvania high schools.
The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, a nonprofit organization that promotes an understanding of international issues, arranged the seminar with the former ambassador and asked Shaler Area to host in part because of its strong Japanese program.
Students from the Shaler Area and Fox Chapel Area school districts attended the seminar at the Shaler Area High School, and students from the Conneaut Area, Hampton, Cornell, Elizabeth Forward and Gateway school districts participated via video conference.
"We think it's really important for students, especially from our area, to engage with international speakers who have a breadth of experiences they're not familiar … to give students a good way to broaden their horizon," said Elizabeth Cook, program associate for the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh.
Shaler Area offers five levels of Japanese, including an Advanced Placement-level course.
Steven Balsomico, Shaler Area Japanese teacher, said the opportunity to hear Fujisaki speak about domestic and international issues brings a better understanding of the Japanese culture and Japanese-American relations to the students.
"I try to bring as much culture and teach the culture in the language," Balsomico said. "You can't understand the language without the culture."
Holly Shearin, a Shaler Area senior, is taking "AP Japanese" and said she appreciated the opportunity to hear Fujisaki speak.
"It's definitely an honor because you get to see the Japanese and American culture come together, and it's very interesting because they're very different," Shearin said.
On March 7, Shearin won first place in the High School Japanese Speech Contest sponsored by The Japan-America Society of Pennsylvania in the Advanced Plus level, the highest level in the competition. Because of her proficiency in the language, the high school's gifted and talented education staff, which supported the seminar, asked her to write a thank you note to Fujisaki.
"In Japanese, you have different levels of formality, and the formal version of speech and writing we just learned last week; it did help apply what I just learned," Shearin said. "It was definitely an honor and privilege to indirectly communicate with him."

Baldwin coaches organize three-day charity alumni basketball event
It's being billed as the Western Pennsylvania Charity Alumni Basketball Tournament and is a charity event for the benefit of Children's Hospital.
The three-day tournament will take place from Nov. 1-3 in the main and small gyms at Baldwin High School.
In it, former players from several area schools — Baldwin, Mt. Lebanon, Upper St. Clair, Chartiers Valley, Central Catholic, Steel Valley, West Mifflin and Hampton — will participate in a series of games.
Gavin Prosser, coach of the Baldwin girls basketball team, and assistant Zach Ferguson planned and organized the tournament.
"The goal is to reunite past WPIAL basketball players with teammates, and the players they competed against, for a weekend of fun and competitive basketball while raising money for a good cause," Prosser said. "All the money we raise through entry fees, fan admission, concession stand, 50/50s and donations will be given to Children's Hospital.
"The more people we can get into the gym, the better the atmosphere will be and the more money we will be able to raise. This is a one-of-a-kind event, and we are hoping that people will come out in support of Children's Hospital and the game of basketball."
Prosser, the all-time leading scorer in basketball at Baldwin, and Ferguson were teammates on the Point Park men's basketball team.
They are best of friends, and both are 28 years old. They initiated this tournament as an offseason project.
"A lot of the players who will be participating come up to Baldwin and play in pickup games with Zach and I," Prosser said. "We started talking one day about 'the good old days' of high school basketball and about the fact that we played with or against the majority of these same guys in high school. Zach mentioned to me how he thought basketball fans in the area might be interested in seeing past players from rival schools compete against each other again, and that is where the idea for the tournament was born."
Ferguson, who is employed in materials management at U.S. Steel Clairton Works, played high school basketball at Hampton. He is a fixture on the bench alongside Prosser during Baldwin girls basketball games.
"Everyone misses competing, whether high school or college level, so we thought of this (tournament)," Ferguson said. "Gavin and I started contacting schools, friends and families. Everyone loved the idea, and we haven't looked back since.
"We have received tremendous help along the way planning this event."
Prosser is manager of the Point Park University recreation center and also serves as an assistant coach at the school.
"Everyone we spoke with about our plans thought it was a great idea, so we decided to run with it. The administration at Baldwin, (superintendent) Dr. Randy Lutz and (athletic director) Vince Sortino, among others, have been so great in helping us with anything we have asked of them. A lot of credit for getting this together goes to them, as well."
Tickets will be available at the door at a cost of $5 per day or $10 for the weekend.
Along with the basketball games, there will be 50/50 raffles, half-court shooting contests, music, a concession stand and a Saturday night social at Coach's Bottleshop located in the Kuhn's shopping plaza on Banksville Road.
"We knew there was potential to make money from holding a tournament like this, but we were never looking to make a profit," Prosser said. "We saw it as an opportunity to give back to our community.
"We are hoping that the success of the tournament this year will lead to a bigger and better tournament next year and in the years to follow."
Many people have helped out in the planning process for Prosser and Ferguson.
"We have received tremendous help along the way (in) planning this event," Ferguson said. "Special thanks goes out to Jim Julian for coordinating and organizing all the referees.
"To be honest, since this is our first tournament, we just hope a lot of people show up because all proceeds will go to Children's Hospital."
Each player in the tournament will represent his former high school. Players expected to participate so far include:
• BALDWIN: Prosser (Point Park), Steve Douglas (Pitt Bradford), Jerome Maxshure (La Roche), Josip Lucic (Washington and Jefferson), Joe Suchy (Wheeling Jesuit), Ryan Dedes.
• UPPER ST. CLAIR: Dale Meinbresse (Quinnipiac), Ryan Murray (Westminster), Andrew Atman (Buffalo).
• HAMPTON: Ferguson (Point Park), Ryan Hauck (Westminster), John Benca (Slippery Rock — football), Bob Bartley (Gannon — football), Dan Obermeir (Davidson — baseball).
• WEST MIFFLIN: Bryant McAllister (Duquesne), Chris Giles (Seton Hill), Quinton Davis (Pitt-Johnstown).
• MT. LEBANON: Tyler Bluemling (Duquesne), Geoff Kessler (Princeton), Alex Warren, Bill Babe (Allegheny).
• CENTRAL CATHOLIC: Sean Crummie (Yale), Kyle Goldcamp (Gannon), Steve Buches (Pitt — football), Drew Garcia (Tulane), Dan Waajid (Pitt Johnstown), Chris Saltzman (Penn State Behrend).
• CHARTIERS VALLEY: Mike Sherry (Clarion), Steve Profeta (St. Francis, Pa.).
• STEEL VALLEY: Ray Gilespie (Waynesburg).
"The age range of the players is between 21 and 35 years old and, for the most part, all of the participants are still in great shape," Ferguson said. "Fans can expect to see high-scoring, fast-paced games. And I'm sure from time to time, knowing the players in this tournament, you will see some spectacular dunks."
The tournament tips off with four games Nov. 1. The games are scheduled to take place hourly with the following first-round matchups:
6 p.m. — Upper St. Clair vs. Chartiers Valley
7 p.m. — Hampton vs. Central Catholic
8 p.m. — Steel Valley vs. West Mifflin
9 p.m. — Baldwin vs. Mt. Lebanon

Fort Hood Herald
Coming home
Screams, whistles and cheers are deafening, whether it is 3 a.m. or 1 p.m. Joy and tears are touching whether it's the dead of morning or bright afternoon.
A long, hard wait is coming to an end for thousands of 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment soldiers and families as the regiment returns to Fort Hood from 15 months in Iraq. The first flights arrived last week and are expected to continue through Sunday.
The homecomings are, without question, the best part about the regiment returning, said Maj. Paul Dirksmeyer, regimental chaplain.
"I don't care how many of these I've done, they're so deeply moving on a very visceral level," he said. "To see families embracing, parents hugging their soldier kids, spouses and kids embracing, soldiers seeing newborns for the first time, how can someone not be moved to tears?"
Dirksmeyer considers the homecoming ceremonies cathartic.
"It's healing," he said. "It just brings things 'full circle' in a deeply personal way. My kids have come home!"
The regiment's time in Iraq certainly hasn't gone without losses. More than 20 troopers have died during this rotation, the latest Sgt. 1st Class Miguel A. Wilson, a Bonham native who died Nov. 21 in Abu Sayf of injuries he sustained while trying to rescue another soldier during a dismounted reconnaissance mission, according to information from the Defense Department. He was assigned to the 2nd Squadron.
While the casualty number is significantly less than those from the regiment's first and second rotations to Iraq, any losses hit the families and soldiers hard.
That has been the hardest part of the job for Lt. Col. Timothy Leroux, the regimental rear detachment commander.
The affect of those losses on their fellow soldiers is not lost on their families, either. Evelyn McLean's son, Capt. Gregory McLean, is a troop commander and thousands of miles and time zones away from Iraq in Kansas, she said she could sense how difficult it was for Gregory to lose soldiers.
It is without a doubt the most difficult part of a deployment, said Dana Allison, regimental family readiness support assistant and wife of a Support Squadron soldier.
"It's something everyone prays will never happen and it never gets any easier when it does," she said.
"I think that's got to be the most difficult thing about deployments no matter which side of the ocean you're on."
Making a difference
In its time in Iraq, the regiment's area of operations covered the Nineveh and Diyala Provinces, and air support over the city of Baghdad and south of Baghdad, said Col. Michael Bills, regimental commander.
Second or Sabre Squadron was the smallest unit but had the largest area to secure, Bills said. Fourth or Longknife Squadron provided air support over Baghdad, specifically Sadr City and a large area south of Baghdad. The rest of the regiment, 1st or Tiger, 3rd or Thunder and Support or Muleskinner Squadrons were in the Nineveh Province. The province is 223 miles from the Syrian border.
Among the accomplishments, soldiers reduced the violence in all three provinces by teaming with their Iraqi Security Force counterparts, Bills said.
In Nineveh, the number of daily attacks decreased from an average of 40 a day to single digits. More than 1,000 roadside bombs were cleared from roads and 39 combat outposts and 105 checkpoints were established in the city.
More than 3,400 insurgents and 140 hard-core fighters were captured or killed, Bills said.
"This allowed for further growth and freedom of movement throughout a city of 1.7 million that has been absent the last couple of years," the colonel said. "The courage, valor and incredible effort of the Brave Rifles troopers has allowed an increase in commerce, growth of market places and small businesses, the building of schools so that children are able to attend schools and finally the service improvements."
The regiment completed more than 850 projects that included everything from agriculture to literacy programs.
"One tremendous accomplishment was the extensive recruiting and training campaign that increased the numbers of Iraqi Security Forces in Nineveh Province from 35,000 to 72,000 in an eight-month period," Bills said.

Schlosser strong in Braves marathon
Right-hander tosses six scoreless frames in 14-inning victory
By Jonathan Raymond / MiLB.com | August 14, 2013 10:19 PM ET
Gus Schlosser got Double-A Mississippi well on its way toward a win Wednesday night, starting the game and tossing six clean innings. Which was good because it wound up taking a long time to secure that victory.
Schlosser allowed just one hit and three walks while striking out four before handing off a bullpen that needed to provide eight more frames of work as the Braves finally topped the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, 3-2, in 14 innings.
"Felt pretty good tonight, the fastball command was pretty solid. I only threw my changeup a couple times, but every time I threw it, it worked out pretty well," he said. "It's always nice when you can put up a few goose eggs. I probably could have gone back out there [in the seventh], but I threw a lot of pitches the last inning and they kind of gave me a break. It got crazy there at the end, you can't predict that kind of thing, but it was nice to at least put up six scoreless for us."
The outing continued a remarkable maiden turn at the Double-A level for the 24-year-old. Schlosser, after recording a 4.84 ERA in 22 1/3 innings in April, has posted a sub-2.00 ERA in every month since.
That includes a 1.88 mark in May, 1.26 in June, 1.93 in July, and after Wednesday's effort, a 1.62 ERA in August.
Altogether, it adds up to a 2.25 ERA in 120 innings on the season, third-best in the Southern League. He has 91 strikeouts and 38 walks.
"I had pretty high expectations for myself [coming into the year]. In my eyes, am I having a great year? Not really. It's pretty solid, but I hold myself to high expectations, so it's not really too out of proportion," he said. "I know my changeup has gotten a lot better. Gene Garber helped me in Spring Training with that, and it's 10 times better than it was last year. And I think my mental side of the game is a lot better. Things don't bug me too much, you know if you have a bad outing it's not the end of the world."
Last year, the 2011 17th rounder went 13-7 with Class A Advanced Lynchburg, notching a 3.38 ERA with 139 strikeouts and 33 free passes in 165 1/3 innings.
Schlosser's batterymate Wednesday, third-ranked Braves prospect Christian Bethancourt, continued a torrid second half as well. He hit safely in his 19th straight game and extended his on-base streak to 40 games.
Since the All-Star break, the 21-year-old has batted .358/.382/.600 with six homers in 100 plate appearances. And on Wednesday, he ably sat behind the dish for all 14 innings.
"Luckily I think the first eight innings went pretty quick, but after 10 or so, it's a mental grind and he played as best you can in that situation," Schlosser said. "And his hitting has been ridiculous, really squaring up the ball. Can't ask for anything more from him."
Second baseman Tommy La Stella homered in the ninth to extend the game for Mississippi.Greg Golson scored the go-ahead run in the 14th on a wild pitch by Pensacola's Drew Hayes.

TV presenter Brian Dowling has told how he was left feeling "physically sick" after a pair of thugs robbed him at knifepoint near his Clapham home.
The 33-year-old former Big Brother winner was cornered by two hooded knifemen as he walked home on Wednesday evening (March 14).
They grabbed him and dragged him into an alleyway where they held a knife to his throat and mugged him, taking his wallet and mobile phone.
Speaking to the Sun newspaper, the Irishman said he was 'too scared' to scream for help and felt certain his abductors would physically hurt him.
He said: "I was terrified. I live in a lovely area, it was only nine at night and was only 30 seconds from my apartment. You don't expect it at that time of night, or on a quiet residential street.
"All I could think was, 'Are they going to stab me?'"
He told the paper he felt traumatised when he finally staggered back to his flat.
"I felt physically sick when I got home," he said.
Lambeth police are investigating the incident.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "At around 9pm on Wednesday we were called to reports of a man in his 30s being robbed.
"No arrests have been made at present."

A sad film, a kind of traction engine version of Genevieve, with Michael Craig as the man of the future (he's an aircraft designer) getting into trouble because of his love of the past, and finally solving his problems through the realisation that 'Britain is the place of continuity...' etc. Thematically the film makes (reactionary) sense, but cinematically it's a disaster. Scenes at Henley, Ascot and Woburn are supplemented by the Duke of Bedford in person.

The pharmacological and/or biological activity of organic molecules isolated from animals, plants, or microbes can be used to treat human diseases. Humans have relied on natural products as a source of medicine for thousands of years. Traditional medicine systems in countries such as Egypt, China and India were formed based on plant-based natural products [
The compounds 2,6′,4-trihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone and 4′,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone 2-
In the present study, 1-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethanone (DMHE) was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the
The ethyl acetate fraction (9.8 g) was subjected to silica gel column chromatography (400 g, Merck Kieselgel 60, 0.063–0.200 mm mesh size; Merck, Darmstadt, Germany): initial elution with hexane, followed by ethyl acetate enriched with increasing percentages of acetone, and monitoring with TLC (Thin layer chromatography), resulted in nine fractions: FF-1 (0.7 g), FF-2 (0.79 g), FF-3 (0.42 g), FF-4 (0.7 g), FF-5 (0.5 g), FF-6 (0.8 g), FF-7 (1.5 g), FF-8 (1.8 g) and FF-9 (2.3 g). These fractions were identified using GC-MS and NMR. Components of selected fractions were purified by re-crystallization and separation using a specific solvent.

Morphological changes in the HT-29 cell treated with 25 μg/mL of DMHE at 24, 48 and 72 h incubation were observed under an inverted and phase contrast microscope (Leica, Wetzlar, Germany). The cells indicated the highest effects after treatment with DMHE for 48 h. Microscopic observations revealed that more than 50% of the cells showed membrane blebbing, ballooning, chromatin condensation, and the formation of apoptotic bodies as shown in
Morphological changes of individual HT-29 cells in the cell population were observed by fluorescence microscopy. The AO/PI (acridine orange and propidium iodide) procedure stains the DNA within the nuclei. Our results showed that viable cells displayed bright green nuclei, the early apoptotic cells exhibited orange nuclei, and the necrotic cells or dead cells displayed red nuclei as shown in
Apoptosis is a type of programmed cell death, used by multi-cellular organism to purge extraneous cells. It differs from necrosis in that it lasts a lifetime and is actually beneficial to the body, while necrosis is itself a form of cell death caused by acute cellular damage [
Our results showed that for untreated HT-29 cells, 92.28% of the cells were viable, 2.66% in early apoptosis, 1.85% of the cells were necrotic cells and 3.21% of the cells were in late apoptosis or were dead cells. In HT-29 cells treated with 25, 50 and 75 μg/mL of DMHE, the percentage of viable cells decreased to 78.39%, 74.16% and 68.54%, the percentage of necrotic cells were 2.85%, 2.88% and 20.72%, early apoptotic cells decreased to 2.66%, 2.00% and 0.48%, and dead or late apoptotic cells were 16.10%, 20.96% and 10.26% respectively (for 24 h incubation). After 48 h incubation, the live cells decreased 76.66%, 73.60% and 66.23%, the necrotic cells were 8.60%, 6.96% and 22.59%, the early apoptotic cells were 1.42%, 6.24% and 1.16%, and the dead or late apoptotic cells decreased to 13.32%, 13.24% and 10.02%. After 72 h of incubation, the live cells decreased to 74.87%, 70.82% and 30.37%, the necrotic cells were 3.33%, 12.90% and 41.90%, the early apoptotic cells decreased to 3.17%, 2.12% and 1.02%, and the late apoptotic or dead cells were 18.64%, 14.15% and 27.26%. As shown in
Our results suggested that although apoptosis may be one of the mechanisms by which DMHE induces cell death, the primary mechanism involved may be necrosis. This effect was shown to be both dose and time dependent. All corresponding data are shown in
Cell cycle arrest and apoptosis are two important mechanisms involved in anti-cancer drug treatment [
Terminal differentiation or senescent out-of-cycle states are also possible, resulting in cells that are irreversibly withdrawn from the cell cycle. The synthesis of DNA and DNA staining increases during the S phase. The G2 phase is when 4
Our results showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the cell cycle phases between treated cells and untreated cells (negative control) in the G0/G1, S, and G2/S phases. Compared to the negative control, DMHE treatment for 24 h, 48 h and 72 h induced an acceptable arrest of HT-29 cells in the G0/G1 phase of the cell cycle. Following treatment with DMHE for various time periods (24, 48 and 72 h), the HT29 cells were stained with PI (propidium iodide). The distribution of the cells in the various phases of the cell cycle was then analyzed with a flow cytometer and the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase, the S phase and the G2/M phase were calculated using Modfit software. The results are presented in
Our results showed that after 24, 48 and 72 h of treatment with 25 μg/mL of DMHE, the percentage of cells in the G0/G1 phase significantly increased to 63.92%, 68.36% and 73.06%, respectively. The percentage of cells in the G2/M phase increased to 8.13%, 24.4% and 13.84% and the percentage of cells in the S phase also dramatically increased to 3.54%, 7.24% and 13.1%. When the cells were treated with 25 μg/mL of the compound, significant G0/G1 phase arrest was observed.
HT29 cells treated with DMHE showed significant cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase in a time-dependent manner, compared to untreated cells. The standard deviation was calculated between the treated and untreated cells. In untreated cells, the percentage of DNA content was 56.00% at the G0/G1 phase, 26.19% at the S phase and 17.81% at the G2/M phase. Our results suggested that DMHE induced cell death in HT-29 cells. The G0/G1 arrest and inhibition of cell growth could be a result of the induction of necrosis or late apoptosis, which may be mediated by cell cycle arrest in the G0/G1 phase.
Apoptosis is a developmentally programmed form of cell death. It plays an essential role in both carcinogenesis and cancer treatment and is a primary target of many treatment strategies. Apoptosis eliminates excess damaged or unwanted cells and is a regulated pathway important for maintaining homeostasis in multi-cellular organisms. Apoptosis can be initiated by various external and internal signals and these signaling pathways are controlled by the regulated expression(s) of apoptosis-associated genes and protein. The Bcl-2 family of proteins (B cell lymphoma 2) plays an important role as anti-apoptotic and pro-apoptotic proteins. There are two groups of proteins involved in the regulation of apoptosis—anti-apoptotic or pro-survival proteins such as Bcl-2, Bcl-xL Bcl-w, Mcl-1 and A1 and pro-apoptotic proteins such as Bax, Bak, PUMA, Bok, Bad, Bid, Bik, Blk, Hrk, BNIP3 and BimL.
Bcl-2 proteins are alternative targets for both pro- and anti-apoptotic therapeutic approaches [
GC-MS analysis was based on the protocol described by Sri Nurestri Malek [
The HT-29 human colon adenocarcinoma cells, MCF-7 human fibroblast breast cancer cells, A-549 human lung cancer cells and MRC-5 normal human fibroblast lung cells were purchased from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC, Boulevard Manassas, VA, USA). The cells were cultured and maintained in RPMI 1640 (Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA) medium for HT-29, MCF-7 and A549 cells and Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM, Sigma) for the MRC-5 cells. They were supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, 100 μg/mL penicillin/streptomycin, and 100 μg/mL of amphotericin B and the cells were incubated at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO2.
The cytotoxic effect of DMHE on selected cancer cell lines and normal cell line were determined using the MTT cell proliferation assay. The trypan blue exclusion assay was used to analyze cell viability [
The percentage of inhibition (%) was calculated according to the following formula:
where OD = optical densties, control = without treatment with compound, sample = with treatment with compound.
The HT-29 cells were plated in petri dishes (30 mm) at a density of 1 × 105 cells/well. DMHE was then added to each well and incubated at 37 °C in humidified 5% CO2 for 24, 48 and 72 h. After the various incubation periods, the petri dishes were examined under an inverted and a phase microscope (Leica).
Acridine orange and propidium iodide (AO/PI) double staining method was used to observe apoptotic morphological changes in each cell body under fluorescence microscopy (Leica). The HT-29 cells were seeded onto a petri dish (30 mm) at a density of 1 × 105 cells/mL. The cells were then treated with DMHE and incubated in a CO2 incubator for 48 and 72 h. After the incubation period, the cells were detached with an accutase solution, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min and washed twice with PBS, after which the supernatant was discarded and the cells re-suspended in 1 mL of PBS. 100 μL of cells were incubated with 5 μL of acridine orange (AO) and 5 μL of propidium iodide (PI) for 10 min at room temperature under dark conditions. Stained cells (10 μL) were placed onto coated glass slides and 20 μL of mounting media and stored at −20 °C until analysis. The stained cells were then photographed under a fluorescence microscope (Leica).
Approximately 1 × 106 HT-29 cells were incubated in petri dishes for 24 h. Various concentrations of DMHE (25, 50 and 75 μg/mL) were then added to the cells and incubated for 24, 48 and 72 h, respectively. The cells were harvested with accutase in phosphate buffered saline by centrifugation, stained with annexin V-FITC only, propidium iodide only and double stained with annexin V-FITC/PI according to the Annexin V-FITC Apoptosis Detection Kit protocol (BD Pharmingen™, BD Bioscience, San Jose, CA, USA). The stained cells were examined using a FACScalibur flow cytometer (BD Bioscience) and the data analyzed using CellQuest Pro analysis software (Becton Dickinson, San Jose, CA, USA). A total of 10,000 cells were counted for each treatment, and the apoptotic and total death rates were determined.
HT-29 cells (1 × 105) were cultured in petri dishes and incubated for 24 h. DMHE (25 μg/mL) was then added and the cells were incubated for 24, 48 and 72 h at 37 °C in a 5% CO2 incubator. After the various incubation periods, the cells were harvested with accutase, centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min, and washed with warm PBS. The pellets were re-suspended in 300 μL of PBS and was fixed by adding 700 μL of cold absolute ethanol and incubated at 20 °C overnight. The next day, the cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min and the supernatant was removed. The cells were then washed with cold PBS twice and stained with propidium iodide using the Cycle TEST™ PLUS DNA Reagent Kit (Becton Dickinson). The cells were sorted in a FACScalibur flow cytometer (BD Bioscience) using CellQuest pro software (Becton Dickinson) and a quantitative analysis of the cell cycle distribution was carried out using a trial version of the ModFit LT V4.0 software (Verity Software House, Topsham, ME, USA). The significance of the differences was determined using the Student's
The HT-29 cells were treated with DMHE at 25 μg/mL for 24, 48 and 72 h respectively. After incubation, the cells were harvested with accutase and washed with cold PBS three times. The cells were then lysed in a protein lysis buffer containing protease inhibitors. The lysates were centrifuged at 13,000×
Extracted proteins (20 mg/mL) were separated on 12% sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels (SDS-PAGE). Electrophoresis was carried out at 20 V/cm for three hours. The proteins in the SDS-PAGE electrophoresis gels were transferred onto polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) membranes by semi-dry transfer (Membrane Solution, North Bend, OH, USA). The membranes were washed, blocked and incubated with primary antibodies for Bcl2, Bcl-xL, PUMA, Mcl-1, Bak, Bad, Bax. They were then washed and incubated with the respective secondary antibodies at room temperature. Western blot analysis was then performed according to the Western Max™ Horseradish Peroxidase Chromogenic Detection Kits protocol (AMRESCO, Solon, OH, USA). The resulting membranes were dried, photographed and stored in the dark.
A hemocytometer was used to determine cell numbers and trypan blue exclusion was used to determine cell viability. All tests were performed at least three times. The data from the cytotoxicity and annexin V staining assay were expressed as mean ± standard derivations (SD). The mean and standard deviations in each phase of the cell cycle were calculated using Microsoft Excel software (Microsoft, Redmond, WA, USA). Statistical significance of results were determined by Student's
The compound 1-(2,6-dihydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-(4-hydroxyphenyl) ethanone (DMHE) was isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of the
