The research carried out at Oxford University discovered that children who had lived within 200m of high voltage lines at birth had a 70% higher risk of leukaemia than those 600m or more away.
But the scientists stressed that there are no accepted biological reasons for the results and that the findings could be linked to the environments where pylons are located.
Around 1% of homes in the UK are said to be within 200 metres of high voltage National Grid power lines.
What do you think of the findings? Do you think that living near overhead power lines pose a health risk? Send us your comments and experiences.
This debate is now closed. Read a selection of your comments below.
The following comments reflect the balance of opinion we have received so far:
I work in a school very near to overhead pylons. I am extremely concerned about the effect they might have on the children in our care. They have been affected by the cables with two incidents of childhood cancer this past academic year. There is no doubt that electricity is an intrinsic part of our society, but should these pylons be near schools and residential areas?Anon, Bucks, UK
As the risk of leukaemia posed by power lines is next to non-existent, could someone explain to me why a 70% increase of that risk would be mathematically significant? We have this all the time - the fact is, many illnesses are statistically probable. They are not caused by mobile phones, microwave ovens, or power lines. Why people have such difficulty accepting that a host of factors cause illness is beyond me. David, Leicester, UK
Powerlines are bad, food is bad, cars are bad, flowers are bad, everything we do is probably bad and dangerous. The question is without these dangerous elements of our life, how will power get from A to B, how will we communicate without wires, how will we eat the very food we need to live? Let's grow up before we all start living in a risk free bubble.John Gearing, United Kingdom
We'll never settle this if we don't do better science. They need to measure actual magnetic-field strength in the homes. They also need to measure other factors such as defoliants that are often sprayed around pylons to provide better maintenance access, as well as ionisation by-products from the high-voltage lines themselves. Also people who live near pylons are often in a different socio-economic level, which may be relevant. Peter Nelson, Boston USA
It was interesting to hear the representative from National Grid on the BBC news say there was no need for people to sell their homes if they lived next to pylons. What he forgot to mention who in their right minds would now buy a house near a pylon This survey has wiped out the value to thousands of houses. Although they say there is no conclusive evidence the mere fact there is a report has reinforced the fear of the general public. I have had a pylon sited next to my house last year and have been trying to sell it without any success because of the pylon but now after the release of this report I can kiss goodbye to any chance I had.Dermot Finnigan, Manchester England
If a very small magnet and electric current from the cell phone can damage the ear, is it not possible that the giant cables carrying mega tons of electricity can be termed as hazardous?Firozali A Mulla, Dar-Es-Salaam, Tanzania
Overhead power lines are certainly an eyesore (though not as bad as wind farms). However health effects are dubious - underground power transmission should be much more dangerous as people will be closer to the much larger electric and magnetic fields resulting from transmission of power along underground cables. Electromagnetic fields from mobile phones at 0.2m are much greater than from overhead power lines at 200m. I take it that all those who aren't prepared to accept that overhead power lines are dangerous (as opposed to unsightly) are going to throw away their mobile phones too?Brian Beesley, UK
This is old news. The exact same scare was around 10/15 years ago. "Experts" then said there was no risk - now they say there is. Why don't they stop messing about and tell the truth for once to the public? Sandra, UK
I've always thought them dangerous. They must pose some kind of risk, when you consider what they do. But instead of saying maybe and we are not sure, can't these idiots that write these reports keep things to themselves until they have definitive proof? They are simply adding to the panic of parents that may already be causing them to mollycoddle their kids too much. What kind of a world do we live in when terrifying people is considered good science? These people sound like politicians!Jennifer Hynes, Plymouth, UK
I think we should wait until the research is complete until formulating a view. Once the anti-mobile mast brigade find out about this we will never hear the end of it. The scientists have stated that there is no known biological reason for the findings and it could be a geographical phenomenon. We should wait until all the facts are known before stirring up public fears. Rumours that mobile phone radiation is harmful are still unsubstantiated and the opposition to masts is fast becoming mass hysteria.David, Cornwall
Farmers here never can grow anything useful under high power transmission cables. Crops are almost always deformed. But is this the cause for major alarm? Is it that growing things, such as children should be kept away? Not everybody is susceptible to the same things, some smokers never get sick, but that is really not the norm. We take too much for granted, and really never respect things properly. Reduce exposure, reduce risk.John, New York City, USA
It is the fear and worry of the pylons that cause the health side-effects. Just like people worried about MMR and phone masts. If people stop stressing and worrying then they won't get ill.Giles Jones, Staffordshire, UK
Although interesting in an academic sense it is time that media stories like this carried a link to league tables of relative risk. As others have commented, 2,000 children a year are killed on the roads. If this is true then the study risk factor will probably be way down in the noise along with being killed by lightening. Zero risk living is not an option, we need to concentrate on the higher relative risks. Jeremy Slawson, Plymouth UK
Well blow me down with a feather the experts come up with yet another scare. Every day the experts find a link between this disease or that disease and what we eat, do or think. Let's all stop eating, drinking and living then we might avoid all the terrible diseases we are going to get if we listen to them and live to be 150.M Grant, Dundee
I think that they do cause a huge risk to society, but the question to ask is, "is there another alternative". Manjinder Singh Kang, Tamworth, Staffordshire, England
I'm sure the power companies will have their experts just like the tobacco industry did to dispel any thought that we are not perfectly safe. Right!Russ B, Novi, MI, USA
The danger of overhead power lines has been known for a long time - but hushed up. The answer? Invest in sustainable sources of energy. Of course this won't happen overnight, which is why we need to start now and stop just paying lip service to the issue. We need to wake up in the UK and stop being so complacent.Alex, Milton Keynes, UK
Magnetic fields are very dangerous, which is why I will have none of them in my house. The inconvenience of using candles and having no TV, computer, phone, car, or electric cables of any kind anywhere near me is well worth the reduced risk. I just want to find a way of removing the largest source of electromagnetic radiation, after all everyone knows the sun is dangerous too. Perhaps I can find a nice cave somewhere.Chris, UK
I've lived 200 yards or so from pylons for all my life (37 years) and I've very rarely been ill. In fact, the only real illness I've had is chicken pox about three years ago! What a crock!Carl Ogden, Radcliffe
Tell you what, since mains electricity provision is so dangerous let's do away with it. Let's have all heat provided by combustion, all light by flame or battery torches. No electricity to power the health interventions that we all take advantage of (water treatment, surgical instruments etc). Then let's see how wonderful the health and safety of children - and everyone else - is!Liz, London, UK
So what kind of people buy houses right next to power lines? Don't they stop to think about the view, the resell value, the weird buzzing noise in damp weather which must indicate some electro-chemical process going on in the air? Why take the risk?Simon, Bristol
I live under some pylons. I don't have children but hope one day I will and I need some definitive answers as to the danger of power lines.Julia Smith, Wakefield, UK
They aren't buried underground for financial reasons. They're an eye-sore and dangerous. It's a wonder people don't complain about these more than wind farms! They're far more obvious - and no-one can say such a structure is pretty.Mark Yates
My son is about to start school where a pylon is about 50 metres away from the playground. I am seriously considering the choice of schools, this information has made me very confused as to what to do next!Ian Butterworth, Blackpool
My first home in Australia was overlooked by power lines. Within 10 houses of our place 3 people had some form of cancer all diagnosed in the same year. Including the boy next door with leukaemia, another neighbour with bowel cancer and a third lady five doors down who initially had breast cancer which later spread to her whole body after remission. Is this a coincidence?Kathryne Hughes, Singapore
I wonder if there have been any studies done on the effect of high voltage underground cables (e.g. 275kV and 400kV)? Having worked in the past as a cable engineer I know that many of these cables pass through highly populated areas at distances a lot less than 60m. Peter Flett, Stirling, Scotland
To Rosemary Charles, Norfolk: Rosemary, I thought I was the only person who suffered from this effect. There is a power line (direct from a power station) near where I grew up, that crosses the river suspended from two massive pylons. Standing under it always gave me a weird headache accompanied by a kind of queasy feeling. I think this issue should be investigated urgently.Franchesca Mullin, Belfast, Northern Ireland
If overhead pylons are suspected of giving us cancer, then surely this is another good reason to get solar energy instead of nuclear power.Andrew Briggs, UK
This report clearly points to the need for further study before we switch off all the lights in England! Many factors may come together in this situation. Having measured soil samples in Kent for Radon one is struck by just how widespread it is. Maybe we are seeing the results of a combination of geology, Radon and power distribution.Martin Page, Ashford
If there is a real effect, it's much more likely to be chemical than magnetic. Electric discharge from the high voltage lines will cause production of trace amounts of ozone which might explain the health risk. If so, I would expect the leukaemia incidence to be higher downwind of the lines - it should be possible to check this. In any case, it looks as though only about 2% of the leukaemia cases studied could be due to power lines, so there are obviously lots of other more important factors, such as pollution from traffic.James Bridge, Canterbury, Kent, UK
In power stations there are many workers that work right next to high voltage transformers. The emissions from these are so powerful that they cannot use ordinary PC monitors as the display wobbles badly. There have been no instances (that I know of) where someone has had any health issues connected to this high level of exposure and these people have been working in the same buildings for many years. However, when you talk about power lines that's a different case. Certain organisms are attracted by the magnetic flux produced by these power lines and these organisms may cause problems. I would suggest that these organisms are the real problem.M G, Morecambe
How else is it proposed that electricity is supplied to the masses? Contrary to popular opinion, power lines CANNOT be hung from sky-hooks.Daniel Dobson, Barnsley
Is the debate really about overhead cables and health risks or is it aesthetics? It seems that anything that is functional but not necessarily pleasing to the eye (pylons, mobile phone masts) all have (dubious)health risks. Maybe underground cables are shielded in some way otherwise wouldn't the risks be greater as they are closer to people? I guess an alternative to the national grid is for everyone to install solar panels and wind generators for themselves.Paul Booth, Cambridge
We are currently subject to a new power line of 400kva running through one of the country's newest National Parks. What effect would under grounding have on the leukaemia rates, has the study looked at this as an alternative? Most people I think would support under grounding if it reduced the rates of leukaemia, even if it added more cost to what we all pay for electricity.Simon Dodds, Laggan, Invernesshire, Scotland
About 10 years ago I remember reading several reports from the Nordic countries correlating cancers with the location of their over and underground high voltage power lines. I think this was pooh-poohed in the UK, like when big business wants to press ahead with its own agenda. Perhaps it's time to unearth them again for a second reading? Tony Elkin, Basingstoke, Hants, UK
They have known about this in Australia for years. The government MUST know this.James McDonagh, Stanford-le-Hope Essex
Let us urgently look for solutions - this is not the first time high voltage lines have been proven carcinogenic. With 7,OOOkm of lines and 21,800 pylons to maintain, we can expect the National Grid to fight back tooth and claw. Let's mandate the government to find a fix - a healthy, safe, environmentally green fix.Lyn Gambles, London, UK
It's quite alarming that there is still no definitive answer. If living under these pylons is dangerous and can harm both children and adults alike. What will it take for the government to do something about it?S. Syed, Berkshire
What about electricity sub stations, often in residential areas? There must surely be magnetic fields here. Anyone have any knowledge? John Davey, Bristol
Swiss medical folk have determined that emissions from all electrical sources have some negative effect on health and have advised kids should be kept away from micro-waves and hi volt grid lines. While nutrition and exercise etc, for young mums is their own responsibility, a safe "electro smog" free environment is clearly the (local) government's. David, Baden, Switzerland
322 children out of a sample of 9,700 live within 600m of a power line and have leukaemia, that's 3.3% of the children in the study. That might suggest that living close to a power line is safer than not. Statistics can be used to prove anything. Geoff King, Bath, Somerset
Is it true that in Russia they banned housing near them years ago?Rob, Sheffield
My son has leukaemia and a week doesn't go by when you don't hear off another random survey. Not enough darkness at bedtime because the child can't top up their melatonin, so don't leave the landing light on. Children are more susceptible to childhood cancer if they live close to petrol stations. We lived next to two and I have one child, the neighbour next door has 3 children and not one of her children suffered with anything so serious as cancer. Now this new finding, all rubbish as far as I am concerned. As a parent you need a definitive reason why it happened, but that can never happen.Nikki T, Kingston-on-Thames
I'm an American living overseas and there have been studies concluded here in Indonesia and in the USA which arrive at similar conclusions as this study. There must be a connection between pylons and cancer. The researchers are just afraid of causing a panic amongst the population.Paul Krenz, Jakarta, Indonesia
I recently bought a new property within 20m of a high power line. My daughter was born last July. However, I don't think its right to put unnecessary doubt into people's minds when there is no conclusive proof.Anthony Matfield, Stevenage
Your report states that 'although the trend was definite, the researchers said they could not reasonably explain why it occurred'. As stated, the magnetic field created by overhead power lines is small; but the potential gradient directly underneath such a line is very high (of the order of 10,000 volts/metre). It is very far from clear that such a high value is safe. It is pertinent to ask what effects such high values have on, for example, body chemistry.Graham Jagger, Leicester, UK
Once again scaremongering tactics. Have you no thought for people who live by these pylons? With housing already in short supply, you are only endangering the public health further with continuing negative reporting!Mike Kelly, Guernsey

Rubin,

This whole slapfight has centered around what 'rights' various people have, and how we avoid violating them. NB as a whole is very concerned about how to do this the proper way.ty,Ā

Which is correct and good.

But. But.

Due process, and the defense of the minority from the majority that it exists to enable, are artifacts of the rule of law.

We, literally, don't have one. You might think "any excellent person will come to the same conclusion", and this is, essentially, horseshit. Good people of strong character and noble intentions WILL disagree about these things; which forces us, in our current process, to tear at the bonds of our community, rather than resolving our current issues.

Additionally, our charter _does_ say that only members have the right to speak. Any given week's meeting may choose not to enforce that, but that remains a choice. I am not a FAN of that. I don't LIKE that. There is a real problem here, and I'm not trolling. Threatening to slap an abstract "Someone" for pointing out a flaw in our system kinda sucks. Being told that my concerns are trolling sucks too. I care about this, I knew we'd get to this point, because I've been through it before in other groups.

I hate that our stupid decision making process is rifting our community, when this should be simple andĀstraightforwardĀto deal with at a meeting with aĀquorum. I'm glad this isn't a rape accusation we're fighting over, because I think we'd end up losing half our membership, because I've seen THAT before too.

Please understand that I'm not trolling.

Thanks.

Please see my previously email to the list. Nothing and no one are

 Consensus gives him and everyone else a week to discuss/defend either

You could call that a feature, but knowing you Crutcher you wont. :P

Yes he does. I'd be happy to slap anyone in the face who says otherwise
 to a non-member.

 Members can bring things up for consensus and either block or allow
 consensus on an item.

 Non-members can participate in discussion regarding consensus, and they
 have as much power as they want to possibly get other members to see eye
 to eye with them about allowing something to pass or not. Same goes with
 bringing up a consensus item. If you can't "win over" a member, then
 that might say something about the items ability to pass.

 There's nothing stopping a non-member from speaking at a meeting.

 Now if a non-member OR member is bantering on forever and ever and not
 allowing others to speak or letting the meeting's agenda progress along
 (like you have Crutcher!), people (I) will tell them to shut up.

 > Now, I don't _like_ he consensus process, but that's the one we've got; and

I'm strongly against Patrick ever returning to Noisebridge, but I don't
 think he's shit out of luck and would be thrilled if consensus wasn't
 required in the end.

Kinshasa (AFP) Dec 15, 2012
Democratic Republic of Congo President Joseph Kabila on Saturday vowed that defence would be a top priority for his government after the recent brief rebel takeover of a key city in the country's volatile east.
"From now on, our priority will be defending the homeland," Kabila told parliament in his annual address to the nation.
"Defence, nothing but defence, with a dissuasive, apolitical and professional army.
"I call on our youth to massively enlist," he said, adding that "any new attempt at aggression will be suicidal."
Kabila also accused neighbouring Rwanda of backing the push by the M23 rebels, echoing accusations by the United Nations that Rwanda has denied.
"An unjust war has been imposed on us one more time. Everything has already been said about this war of aggression by Rwanda," he said to whistles and cheers from lawmakers.
He also called for a change in the mandate of UN peacekeepers in the country, saying their performance in the crisis was "mixed".
The M23 rebellion, launched earlier this year by army mutineers largely from the ethnic Tutsi community, conquered large swathes of the mineral-rich eastern DR Congo, including its main city of Goma on November 20, before withdrawing following a regional diplomatic initiative.
Their lightening advance had raised fears of a wider war and a major humanitarian crisis in the region, the cradle of two back-to-back wars that shook the area from 1996 to 2003.
The M23 rebels and government delegates are currently locked in negotiations in Uganda trying to hammer out an agenda for peace talks.
Uganda has also been accused by the UN of backing the rebels. Like Rwanda, it denies the charges.

Cool, remote syslogging was a problem I had also, to get it working
(for now) I edited some .inc file (settings.inc?) and changed <lan>
to <opt1> so that syslogd's '-b' option used my DMZ IP (real) vs
the default LAN IP (private). When using '-b LAN' I kept getting the
'no route to host' and the packets were being blocked by the firewall.
Being new to m0n0wall I didn't know if that was a correct way to fix it
but it gave me a chance to figure out how to edit, upgrade the firmware,
etc., and to figure out a bit about how things worked. Nice package!!
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad

The staff were extremely helpful and accomodating. The evening meal and breakfast buffet were exceptional.
The wifi did not cover the whole hotel, at least was not available in the old fashion rooms.
Lovely hotel. Well furnished and clean rooms and friendly staff.
The location was perfect, and our room overlooking the river was ideal. We loved this hotel. The hotel restaurant was closed for one day but nobody told us in advance. Not a serious problem, but it seemed odd.
Brilliant hotel for a stopover. Good Bistro/bar attached. Easy to find and good parking.
The location was near to the river and the views were nice. The bar below played loud music during the night (3.00am) which was annoying.
The staff was amazing supportive. We had to leave early in the morning and they provided breakfast 1-1/2 hours early to accommodate our schedule. There was a lot of construction in the area, but there was really nothing the hotel could do about it.
Friendly staff
Restaurant was especially good value for money. Good food in the dinner buffet and reasonable price. Internet worked well.
the sortiment from "Schnitzel" in the restaurante
Good value restaurant in the hotel serving simple food well-cooked (enormous schnitzels). Not too far from historic town centre (45 mins walk other side of river) and easily accessed from autobahn. Rooms fairly pleasant. Set in amongst housing in an industrial area. Surprisingly loud road noise. No lift (roooms are 2 floors above restaurant).Owner and wife do not speak English.
It would have helped to know that the restaurant was closed on the day of our stay when the booking was made.
I really loved the room, it was spacious and comfortable. There wasn't much information about the local sights and Wertheim Shopping Village to be gotten from the hotel.

Company Naming: Acronyms and Initialisms
Not many of us realize that an acronym is not just a collection of initials: it has to be something pronounced as a word. The name of Food Service distributor SYSCO is an acronym for Systems and Services Company. IBM, on the other hand, is an initialism, because every letter is sounded out when spoken. Kentucky Fried Chicken rebranded itself with the initialism KFC.
I have found that the problem with acronyms and initialisms is that they rarely provide cues as to what the company, product, or organization is or does. Generations of existing customers have used the abbreviation "KFC," but the letters alone don't tell prospective new customers what the restaurant is famous for. Only the fact that the restaurant is well-known makes the company name change feasible.
Nevertheless, I consider acronyms and initialisms can be a better choice than the long form names they represent. "S.A.D." tells us exactly the effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder. "SYSCO" is catchier than "Systems and Services Company." "SAAB" is unquestionably easier for English speakers to remember, never mind pronounce, than "Svenska Aeroplan AktieBolaget."
In fact, when expanding globally, abbreviating your company name often beats translating it. The abbreviation might not mean much in the new country, but accurate translation is a difficult art, and inaccurate translation can make your company look bad. Not translating the long form of the name may well leave overseas customers struggling to pronounce it.
Unless you're already well-known at home and going global, beware of using initials for a company name. There are so many acronyms and initialisms out there already that you're likely to add to the confusion rather than branding your company.
There are many examples of company names formed by acronyms and initialisms. Matthew Phiong wrote about the interesting story behind several company names. The Re-Imagineering blog explains the history of Walt Disney Imagineering, which was originally WED Enterprises, (the initials of Walt's full name, Walter Elias Disney.)

BASINGSTOKE Bison's Ciaran Long is back to bolster the Herd's firepower for the coming season.
The Birmingham-born British forward arrived just before Christmas last season on an 18-month contract.
The 23-year-old played a major part in the double-winning Herd side in the second half of last season as he scored 21 goals in 35 games, having joined from Slough Jets, where he also netted 15 times.
Bison player/coach Doug Sheppard is really pleased to have one of his top goal scorers back for another season.
He said: "Ciaran did a great job for us last season and is someone I can play on any line. He has good speed and his lanky style makes him very difficult to defend against."
Long is delighted to be suiting up for the Bison again and said: "There is great chemistry in this team and, with most of the guys back, this will give us a good start.
"We know it is going to be tough, but we will work hard as a unit and I see no reason why we cannot win a couple of trophies again."

Liberty AT Sea With the 20-Somethings: Liberty of the Seas Cruise Review by Cruise4Sunshine
Overall Member Rating
Liberty AT Sea With the 20-Somethings
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
On arrival at Miami Airport, we had a Carey town car ($117 for 3 of us incl. tip) waiting at baggage claim, which was good because I was a mess after the overnight flight from Seattle. He drove us to the Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove, where the bellman kept our luggage as we had breakfast then checked in to the spa for mani-pedi and a massage. We figured we could do the treatments at home, on the ship, or while we had several hours before the ship sailed. It was a perfectly lovely way to while away the hours. After sauna & showers, we caught a cab to the pier ($24)arriving about 1:00pm. Long, long lines for check-in, but we were in our stateroom at 2:05pm. Luggage was there by 4:30pm, and when it More did, it seemed impossible we would find enough space for all of our belongings, 3 large suitcases and a roll-aboard full of shoes. Utilizing all the hangers, the vanity nooks & crannies, as well as the shelves in the closet, we had ample space for 3 women to stow everything from cosmetics to flip flops with only square inches to spare.
We went out exploring, and found this huge ship very easy to navigate, with interactive maps on the walls, ship models in the Promenade, and a map by each elevator. My sense of direction left me in my 30s, but I found this ship the easiest to find my way around of any ship, ever. There is a lot of walking involved on this baby. You can walk a mile getting around in the evening, but a little stroll on the Promenade after dinner was a good thing!
The Promenade reminded all of us of a Las Vegas mega-hotel lobby. There was a pizza place, (which also had great salads & grilled veggies for an anytime snack) a British Pub, Wine Bar, several retail shops, Coffee Bar (great for a quick sandwich and/or dessert - and the drip coffee is free). The Casino is directly below, and a stairway in the mid-Promenade takes you there. These were all alternatives to the dining room and buffet restaurant, and great for a quick bite on return from shore or to tide you over to dinner after an active day. Several nights there were parades & dance parties there as well. It really was the heart of the ship.
Our dining room waiter, Lionel (India) and his assistant Robert (Ocho Rios, mon), made each evening enjoyable. Our drink orders were remembered, and each evening we enjoyed the after dinner "shot of the day." Lionel's dinner suggestions were always spot-on, and he steered us away from items he thought were sub-par. We enjoyed Chops Grille one night ($25 pp incl. tip)with excellent menu choices (the veal chop & filets were our choices). Most other meals we ate in the Windjammer buffet, with rarely a long line and plenty of seating. Menu choices included daily Asian choices, a carvery station for the carnivores, and salad bar. Ice tea, lemonade, water, coffee, teas & fruit punch were available at the drink stations.
We only saw two shows, a singing/dancing impersonator who was amazing, doing everyone from the Rat Pack to Heavy D. Another night there was a high flying, singing, acrobatic (like Cirque du Soleil without a storyline) which was the best show I've seen aboard a ship, anywhere. There were many, many different small lounges offering everything from salsa dancing to piano sing-alongs to heart-pounding club music each evening. My daughters were both able to go into the lounges and dance, although only the 22 year old was able to drink aboard ship. We won a bit and lost a bit at the casino, which is HUGE, with hundreds of slots and multiples of every game imaginable. There were Blackjack and Slot Tournaments ($20 pp entry) a couple of days, and of course Bingo every day.
The Flow Rider was, as the girls said, easy once you get the hang of it. You can knee-board during certain hours or surf during others. The wait was never more than about 30-40 minutes, the instructors very patient, and the wipe outs, awesome! You can sign up for private lessons or group hours for a fee.
The Ice Show tickets are distributed early in the week, we didn't get them, but heard the shows were great. The girls skated for a 45 minute session the last day at sea and it was very crowded.
We took all ship shore excursions this time. Labadee was tranquil for me, lounging in the turquoise sea on my float ($10) the Dragon's Breath ($89 pp) flight line a thrill for the girls. The lunch buffet was fresh and good. We did the Sandals Resort day pass ($89 pp) in Montego Bay. Beautiful resort, private island, open bar, buffet lunch, entertainment, pool games, water activities, great tour guide, couldn't have been better. Our Cayman Island snorkeling trip was canceled due to high winds, so we hopped a taxi tour with a local named Ursula, and for $20 had a great impromptu island tour. Our favorite (and best shore excursion for 20 somethings EVER!) was the Mexican Cooking Class at Playa Mia in Cozumel. Van transfers out, an air-conditioned building, open bar, 3 course meal preparation, then dining with wines from Baja. Afterward about an hour to enjoy the beach and water, then vans back to town with time for shopping.
Our flight was 24 hours away, so we were in one of the last groups off the ship, all went smoothly and we met our Carey town car at 10:05am to go to the Airport Hilton. Nice pool, quick room service, easy transfer to the airport for an early morning flight home on Alaska Airlines.
My girls said it was the most relaxing vacation ever, though I don't know exactly when they took time to unwind, they were busy 20 hours every day. Less

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.
Apolipoprotein E Receptor (apoER2) Is Involved for Thrombotic Complications in a Murine Model of Antiphospholipid Syndrome.
Penabad1, Z. Romay, Shilagard1, T., Vargas1, G., Aguilar-Valenzuela1, R., de Groot2, P., Pierangeli1, S.
Univ of TX Med Branch, Galveston, TX
University Hospital Utrecht, Utretch, The Netherlands
Antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) recognize b2glycoprotein I(b2GPI)-bound to receptor(s) in target cells (i.e.: endothelial cells [EC], platelets, monocytes) and trigger a pro-coagulant/pro-inflammatory phenotype (i.e.: up-regulation of tissue factor [TF] that lead to thrombosis). The interaction of b2GPI with target cells may involve more than one protein. Previous publications suggest that b2GPI-aPL antibody complex binds to apoER2 in cell surface, inducing activation of platelets or EC. Moreover, it has been shown that a soluble binding domain I of apoER2 (sBDI) inhibits the binding of b2GPI to apoER2.
Objectives:: To determine whether apoER2 mediates pathogenic effects of murine and human aPL antibodies in vivo.
Wild type (apoER2+/+) and apoER2-deficient (apoER2-/-) mice were injected twice with IgG purified from one patient with "primary" antiphospholipid syndrome (IgG-APS) or with control IgG (IgG-NHS) or with a murine monoclonal anti-b2GPI antibodies (named E7) or with control murine monoclonal antibody [1kMPOC-21(Sigma Aldrich)](MuMoAbC). Some wild type mice were also injected i.p. twice with 50 mg of soluble binding DI of apoER2 (sBD1), 30 minutes before each injection with aPL antibodies. Several procedures were done in treated and controls mice to study pathogenicity of aPL antibodies: a) dynamics of thrombus formation, b) TF activity in homogenates of carotid arteries and in peritoneal macrophages, and c) TF expression in macrophages using quantum dot nano crystals and two-photon excitation laser scanning microscopy.
Significantly larger thrombi and increased TF activity in carotid artery homogenates and in peritoneal macrophages was observed in apoER2+/+ mice treated with (IgG-APS or E7) when compared to controls. Importantly, apoER2-/-mice treated with murine or human aPL antibodies shown partial but significantly abrogation of thrombogenic effects compared with their counterparts injected with control antibodies. In addition, thrombogenic effects of IgG-APS were significantly abrogated in apoER2+/+ mice by sBD1, hence confirming the ApoER2 involvement in vivo.
Altogether these data show that apoER2 is a mediator of aPL thrombogenic effects in vivo. These data may have important implication in the design of new targeted treatments for APS.

"I have been persuaded that RMIT can make a significant difference to the lives of asylum seekers without directly participating in the operation of the detention centres."
RMIT Student Union Council president Emily Anderson applauded the decision as a victory for staff and students who had campaigned against the bid.
Ms Anderson said most of the 250 people at the forum were against RMIT's involvement believing it legitimised mandatory detention.
"That was quite clear from the reaction speakers got," she said.
The Group 4-led consortium has been short-listed in the tender process to run the country's detention centres - currently managed by Australasian Correctional Management - a contract worth more than $100 million a year. The closing date for tenders is August 22, with the new contracts expected to start at the end of the year.
Professor Dunkin yesterday maintained that RMIT had expressed interest in the tender with the aim of making a positive difference in the lives of asylum seekers through education.
She said the university remained committed to improving the conditions faced by asylum seekers. A taskforce has been established by the university to examine other ways to provide services to asylum seekers outside the detention centres, including those on temporary protection visas.
Ms Anderson welcomed the taskforce, which she believed the student union would sit on.
She said there was a lot RMIT could do for asylum seekers - such as providing free education for those in the community on temporary protection visas. "We're going to take that opportunity to ensure that RMIT does honour its commitment to asylum seekers," she said.
* The Refugee Review Tribunal has granted temporary protection visas to all four members of the Badraie family including seven-year-old Shayan, whose trauma in detention was revealed on Four Corners last year, a family spokesman said yesterday.
Shayan has been living in the Sydney Muslim community since January with his stepmother Zahraa and sister Shubnam awaiting their appeal. His father, Mohammed Zahid Badraie, remains in Villawood detention centre. The Immigration Department said privacy laws prevented comment on specific cases.

Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition
Gill by Doc Holliday
Version: 1.0A | Updated: 12/12/00 | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
Game: Street Fighter 3 Third Strike: Fight for the Future!
Platform: Dreamcast / Arcade
Date: 12th November 2000
By: Doc Holliday
E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
Heh! Firstly, this is only my third FAQ. Secondly - nobody is perfect (but I come very close),
and so expect me to make some mistakes until I can revise this a little more. Finally - I dont
actually own third strike - only 2nd Impact - so I'm really writing about what I know you can
do in second impact, with what I learn from third strike as I go along
Here is what I am including in this version of the FAQ:
1.0 - Gill - The Best Street Fighter Boss Ever?
2.0 - Gill Combo's
3.0 - What to Watch Out For:
------ 3.1 When your playing as Gill
------ 3.2 when your playing against Gill
4.0 - Credits & Revision History
Ok, there has been quite a few bosses that have come and gone in the street fighter series.
Sagat, Bison (Vega for you Jap boys), and even alternate characters in the Alpha (Zero) series.
But does anyone of them have the speed of Gill? The strength of Gill? The Stunning power of Gill?
No one but Shin-Akuma (Shin-Gouki) comes close to Gill's ultimate power!
Some people argue that he plays very cheaply - I argue that it's just because they can't actually
use him.
I will be adding your views into this bit, so do please e-mail what you think he is - the best?
or just another cheap character?
Right, here is the legend thingy that'll help you make sense of all this weird movement:
f = forward
b = backward
d = down
u = jump/up
combinations of these moves are written as :
f, df, d, db, b = this would be a half circle/moon movement from forward to back
For the punches and kicks:
lp = light punch
mp = medium punch
hp = hard punch
lk = light kick
mk = medium kick
hk = hard kick
p = just use any punch
k = just use any kick
Here are the combos:
#1 - Gill Juggler:
This move has such a potential for damage, that using it just three times on your opponent, you
can all out kill them. And an unfair plus point is that it has
A) a fast recovery if you miss!
B) it's so easy, you'll never miss!
Make sure that you're opponent isn't too good at parry, but after the first hit is landed, it
doesn't really matter anyway.
The move is basically preformed when you are faced against someone who constant is jumping around
everywhere. If he/she tries to jump in, then simply duck, and press hard punch - with the right
timing, you'll get two hits. For anyone that needs the legend style:
d + hp
Thats an easy two hits! Now do what the AI can do, do this movement, and then straight after
landing the two hits, come up from the crouch (not jump, just stand) and press hard punch. You've
just received another hit! Legend time:
d + hp, hp
Now youve mastered the art of the three hitter, make it into a four hitter. This bit is kinda
tough, and requires precise timing. From the down hard punch, dont go into the standing hard
punch, but instead stand, egde forward just slightly, duck again and do another crouching hard
punch! With perfect timing you shouldn't even see the animation of you getting up and moving
forward, it'll look like you just slid along the floor a little bit. You don't have to be as fast
as that to land the other two hits, just be quick! Legend:
d + hp, f, d + hp
After this, working out the five hit combo has got to be easy - just add the standing hard punch
after the second crouching hard to receive five easy hits on your opponent! Doing this move will
do quite a fair amount on your opponent - damage and stun wise!
Never try and go for a third crouching hard punch when in a battle unless your very proficient -
I have tried many times and it is tough even after you've mastered the technique!
Continuing the Gill Juggler (yes, there is more!) get your opponent into a corner before trying
this - because it makes the whole thing a lot easier! (whereas it's quite tough in the middle of
the screen *see writers tip above). Here is the legend:
d + hp, f, d + hp, f, d + hp, f, d + hp
Yup - it's doing a four hitter twice! I've tried endlessly on 2nd Impact to get more than four
juggles, but it just not happening! Could someone please confirm if this restriction is still on
Third Strike (because if it isn't, then this is an infinite, you can use it to build as many hits
as the game will allow or until your opponent is dead :)) The eight hitter will give your
opponent a good amount of damage - but mainly, it will almost stun them - all you need to do
after this move is a standing hard kick (once, maybe twice) and he'll be stunned. Then you push
them into the corner and do this combo again, stunning them again - or if they are low on energy,
I think a super would be in order! :)
#2 - Double Sweep
Ok, this is just that little bit risky, because Gill doesn't seem to recover from this to fast,
but if timing is right, positioning is perfect and luck is on your side, then this combo does a
lot of damage! All you do is when your opponent is in the corner (this is essential as anywhere
else would knock him out of the range of the second hit) sweep him, and then just go for another
sweep just before he lands on the ground. It doesn't always work for only one reason - position!
If you haven't got the perfect positioning, this will never work, and you'll have a big recovery
before you can do anything else - leaving your opponent (who has probably resorted to being very
very cheap) to supering your butt! I find the perfect position being him directly in the corner
and you being just close enough to him so that your shadows just overlap by just a tiny bit. This
move does impress people who haven't seen his speed in action! The legend for this move:
d + hk and while continuing to hold d, press hk again
The double sweep technique doesn't seem to work on every character - some don't hit the ground
fast enough (Yun/Yang) and some just go straight to the ground (Hugo). Does work on most though,
so you'll just have to wait until next FAQ so I can tell exactly who it works on and who it
This is what you should watch out for when playing as Gill (basically tactics others may use to
beat you and what you can do about it!)
#1 - Jumping in hitters:
Many find the best tactic to use against Gill is the jump in, do damage, backoff and start all
over again. Well, they are mistaken. You being the almighty Gill have almost complete air
superiority. Either the crouching Fierce (d + hp), the standing roundhouse (hk), knee to head
attack (real name plz + is it still in third strike?)(f, df, d, db, b + k) and even standing
fierce in some cases (hp) will teach that punk not to jump unless told to do so!
#2 - Fireball fanatics:
Is he trying to beat you with just fireballs? Not smart - just go for a the BioKenesis (*is that
right? real name plz)(b, db, d, df, f + P (depending on punch strength the fireball will either
be angled at 0* = straight forward, 35* = opposite top corner or 70* = top middle of the screen)
which will cancel fireball. Best thing to do after the is to the do a die attack (real name plz)
(f, d, df + P)(strength of punch indicates the distance you wanna go, Which will send you
charging at him.
#3 - Die Attack (f, d, df + P)
This attack can be used as either in it's primary form = stunner or secondary form = damage
Primary form is when Gill goes right next to the opponent, and then punches setting the opponent
on either flames or ice (dependant on side!) - this does an alright amount of damage but really
hits the stun bar hard!
Secondary form is when he actual passes the opponent slightly, and knocks him down - this does
hardly any stunnage, but the damage has had a significant power boost.
Use this move wisely and you can actually control to perfection whether you want to all out kill
the sucka, or just stun the punk for a super finish!
This section doesn't really give you many hints against computer Gill, but just some general
rules to follow when fighting him. I also recommend reading section 3.1 because it'll give you an
idea of some of the tactics a Gill player may decide to use.
This section will now cover the different attacks you can employ to defeat a Gill player. They as
as follows:
#1 - From the air:
Do not try jumping INTO/TOWARDS Gill whenever possible. His air superiority is superb, and you'll
probably eat it! Instead, use dash (either double tap f/b) to quickly move towards and away. Note
however that you are unable to guard or parry any moves while in this movement phase. Also,
super jumping away from moves is also a good idea (press d quickly before intiating the jump
with either u/uf/ub).
#2 - From the ground (close range)
Getting close to Gill allows close quaters combat - something that has been amiss in many SF
games of late (apart from Cap vs SNK which is the first in a long line of 'old engine' games
that are coming from Capcom). This is your best chance for damage - doing supers up close gives
the opponent very little time to react to them - parrying needs to be intiated a lot quicker than
when the move is coming from a distance. However, most Gill players, including the CPU (I know
that I wasn't really gonna give hints against it but...) like to become turtles when you get
close, and favour a more block and counter technique rather than trying to match people punch
for punch - this is because his moves require slightly more charge time near the begin to
intiate rather than time for recovery. You can also play very defensive (requires you to be
really good at parrying because you don't want to much block damage) and play the counterer.
#3 - From the ground (distance attacks)
Fireballs will not work against Gill! He'll either play classy and parry, or just block them.
Plus, his projectile (currently called BioKenisis cos I can't remember the proper name) is two
hits so it'll kill yours, and continue after you!

The use of inertial sensors to characterize pathological gait has traditionally been based on the calculation of temporal and spatial gait variables from inertial sensor data. This approach has proved successful in the identification of gait deviations in populations where substantial differences from normal gait patterns exist; such as in Parkinsonian gait. However, it is not currently clear if this approach could identify more subtle gait deviations, such as those associated with musculoskeletal injury. This study investigates whether additional analysis of inertial sensor data, based on quantification of gyroscope features of interest, would provide further discriminant capability in this regard. The tested cohort consisted of a group of anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed (ACL-R) females and a group of non-injured female controls, each performed ten walking trials. Gait performance was measured simultaneously using inertial sensors and an optoelectronic marker based system. The ACL-R group displayed kinematic and kinetic deviations from the control group, but no temporal or spatial deviations. This study demonstrates that quantification of gyroscope features can successfully identify changes associated with ACL-R gait, which was not possible using spatial or temporal variables. This finding may also have a role in other clinical applications where small gait deviations exist.
Inertial sensor technology has the potential to bring gait analysis outside of the biomechanics laboratory and allow gait analysis to be more accessible to a wider group of clinicians and researchers on a more regular basis [
Despite the current depth of research in the inertial sensor gait area, the sensors are not used extensively outside of the laboratory environment, save for example as a step counter. This may be partly due to the fact that inertial sensor gait analysis use has been primarily confined to replication of traditional gait analysis metrics; such as temporal, spatial and kinematic data. There is therefore a need for research to look toward using inertial sensor data in innovative ways to provide new clinically meaningful metrics. Despite the availability of the theoretical framework in which inertial sensor data can be integrated to obtain position, it is a well-documented phenomenon that this process results in significant errors [
Previous inertial sensor gait research on patient populations has used temporal or spatial outputs from inertial sensors to identify pathological gait patterns, however the pathologies studied have been characterized by large gait deviations [
As such, the purpose of this work was to investigate innovative ways by which raw inertial sensor data could be processed to provide clinically useful information. Specifically we want to determine if inertial sensor extracted features can be used to identify abnormal gait patterns in a pathological population with subtle gait pattern differences.
ACL-R gait was chosen as the gait pathology to investigate for three reasons. Firstly, aberrant gait patterns post-ACL-R have been suggested to be a potentially important risk factor for the development of knee OA [
Seventeen lower limbs of fourteen female athletes constituted the ACL-R group. Of these athletes, three participants had previously ruptured both right and left ACL, thus both lower limbs were included for the analysis in these participants (
Gait data was collected simultaneously using both conventional gait analysis tools as well as inertial sensors. Conventional gait data was obtained using an active marker CODA Motion Analysis System (Charnwood Dynamics, Ltd, Leicestershire, UK) that consisted of three MPX30 cameras sampling at 200 Hz. The system was integrated with two AMTI force plates sampling at 1,000 Hz (Watertown, MA, USA). Motion capture data was obtained using previously described methods [
Two inertial sensors (Xsens MTx G25, Enchede, The Netherlands), sampling at 100 Hz, were placed on each subject. Each inertial sensor contained a 3-axis accelerometer and gyroscope. For the research presented in this paper, only the sagittal plane shank gyroscope signal was used. The signal range of the gyroscopes were ±1,200 degrees per second. They were placed on the anterior aspect of the tibia, attached to the CODA leg marker, with the centre of the inertial measurement unit at the mid-point between the lateral malleolus and the knee joint centre. The sensors were held in place with double sided tape as well as athletic tape.
After the markers were secured in place, a Chartered Physiotherapist put each subject into a subtalar neutral standing position prior to collection of a neutral stance trial. This was performed to align the participant with the laboratory coordinate system and to function as a reference position for subsequent kinematic and kinetic analysis. Prior to performing the trial, each subject completed several practice walking trials through the laboratory walkway. This allowed the subjects to get accustomed to the markers as well as allowing a starting point to be identified so that the subjects would contact the force plates in normal stride. Subjects walked barefoot across the 15 m walkway at their self-selected
Heel strike (HS) and toe-off (TO) points were found in the inertial sensor data based on a previously validated algorithm [
A data-driven approach was used to determine if data from the sagittal plane shank gyroscope could be used to differentiate between ACL-R and healthy control gait patterns [
Inertial sensor outputs (temporal and extracted features) from each steady state gait cycle were averaged for each trial. Values from each trial were averaged to obtain one value for each variable for every subject. Values from each subject were averaged to obtain one value for the ACL-R group and one value for the control group. For ACL-R participants, data from the injured legs were used. For control subjects, either the right or left leg was used to allow for an equal number of right and left legs in both the ACL-R and control groups. Independent samples t-tests were used to test for differences between groups in the temporal data as well as the quantified gyroscope variables.
Gait speed was calculated by dividing the stride length by the stride duration of the right heel marker, which was obtained from the motion capture software. Knee angular kinematic and kinetic data from each trial was accumulated over the entire stride. The first initial contact was found in the force plate data as a 10 N crossing of the vertical ground reaction force. The next initial contact was found in the kinematic data using a previously validated method [
Peak knee adduction moment during early stance and normalized peak knee adduction moment (%Bw-ht) [
As can be observed from
Peak knee adduction moment was lower for the ACL-R group (N = 17, M = 0.31 Nm/kg·m, SD = 0.08) than for the control group (N = 17, M = 0.41 Nm/kg·m, SD = 0.12; t(32) = 2.483, p = 0.010, one tailed,
A comparison of time averaged profiles for knee angular displacement in coronal, frontal and sagittal planes showed that there were significant differences in knee joint kinematics between the groups during the swing phase (
This work extends the current use of inertial sensors to analyze gait patterns by extracting features from a gyroscope on the shank which are capable of identifying the presence of a pathological gait condition that is not obvious to the naked eye. Inertial sensors have been used previously to identify gait pathologies in which there are large temporal or spatial abnormalities in gait patterns [
The conventional gait analysis tools used in this study indicate that there were subtle gait pattern deviations between the ACL-R and control groups however there were no temporal or spatial differences in the gait patterns between groups (
The findings of this work and previous work [
All three of the extracted features which were significantly different between the ACL-R and the control groups were of lower magnitude in the ACL-R group (
Based on the fact that epidemiological research has shown that ACL-R patients are five times more likely to develop knee joint OA than the general population [
A limitation of this study is that it does not conclusively prove any link between inertial sensor extracted features and the presence of abnormal movement patterns which may lead to knee joint degeneration over time. Estimating knee joint OA development is not a simple issue, but a complex, multifaceted problem that is well beyond the scope of one cross-sectional study.
The main contribution of this work is that a novel processing method has been employed to obtain clinically useful gait information from a musculoskeletal pathology which results in only subtle gait pattern deviations.

tremco earns coveted leed gold cert for renovation of its 40-year-old hq
Thursday, March 08, 2012

Design + Build
Tremco Inc
. recently earned the sustainable-construction industry's equivalent of an Oscar: LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design ) Gold certification. The coveted prize, awarded by the
U.S. Green Building Council
, recognizes Tremco's outstanding performance in the 2010 renovation of its 40-year-old, 46,000-square-foot headquarters on (appropriately enough) Green Road.
Cindy Cicigoi, Tremco's vice president of sustainable initiatives and facilities, acknowledges that traditional construction methods -- or simply relocating -- would have been less expensive. But Tremco never viewed the project so narrowly. "We did this, number one, because it's the right thing to do," Cicigoi says. Tremco specializes in the development of high-performance, low-impact buildings.
But it was also the smart thing to do. After "buttoning up the exterior" of the building, as Cicigoi puts it, Tremco used about 55 percent less natural gas over the past year compared to the average of the previous three years. Solar panels and a wind turbine helped cut the electric bill by about 24 percent.
And the rehab project itself met its zero-landfill goal. Nearly all of the two million pounds of demolition debris was reused; for example, gravel from the old roof became the base for the new sidewalks. Blinds, plumping fixtures and other reusable items were donated to Habitat for Humanity. What couldn't be reused or recycled was burned for energy. Tremco even recycled materials from the I-90 resurfacing project to resurface its own parking lot after installing an underground cistern to store rainwater runoff.
That water is then used in Cicigoi's favorite part of the building upgrade: the vegetated roof. In addition to being "gorgeous" in the summer, the roof is home to 40-plus species of native Ohio plants --16,000 in all -- including herbs that are used in the cafeteria.
The result of all this effort, Cicigoi notes, is a "showcase" for what Tremco, and other companies owned by parent
RPM International
, can do.
According to the USGBC web site, "LEED certification provides independent, third-party verification that a building, home or community was designed and built using strategies aimed at achieving high performance in key areas of human and environmental health: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality."

The ride
I was walking my way to the high way when a white vehicle passed my way. The vehicle slowed its speed to match my pace. The driver, in the mid 40's I guess, offered me a ride. For no particular reason, I obliged. I immediately jumped at the back of his truck. (it's a white multi-cab.) It would be troublesome if I'd sit at the passenger seat since I assumed that I would take off at the highway. Yet, the driver made some gestures asking me to sit at the passenger seat.
The driver might be one from our neighborhood. I only know a few because I seldom stay at home and whenever I am at home, I rarely go out. The driver's identity is unknown to me.
I seated myself comfortably on the passenger's seat. The usual questions were thrown to me and I deliberately answered them. He asked what school I go to (or which school I am heading for). He said that he'd drop me at NCCC Mall cause his way on the opposite side of the city.
He also asked for my course. That was when we started to talk about the profession on which I am trying to pursue. We talked a lot. We even talked some lessons in life. He shared some of his insights and made some advise, the usual stuff a father tells is son. But traffic jammed us at NCCC. I didn't notice time. It's time for me to leave his vehicle. I said my thanks before he left for the other side of the road.
I went off the truck realizing something. I may not have my biological father to give me lessons a father should teach his son, but God has his own ways of making me learn. I don't need my father, God will always find a way.

The government plans to establish a public-private entity this fall with the aim of promoting exports of "anime," fashion and other goods under its Cool Japan initiative, informed sources have said.
With the Cool Japan promotion being one of its key policy measures, the government of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe intends to nurture related businesses and have them grow into major export industries.
In its fiscal 2013 draft budget, the government has set aside ¥50 billion in capital for the new entity.
To run it, the institution will pull in experts in content industries and overseas marketing, the sources said. When selecting target projects for support, it will take into account profitability and potential ripple effects, the sources said.
The public-private body will mainly promote the export of various goods to major cities in emerging parts of Asia, capitalizing on the growing demand there, the sources said.
For example, it may support projects to set up shopping malls that will feature stores selling Japanese items, the sources said.
In emerging economies, interest in foreign culture among consumers tends to grow as their living standards improve, said an official from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which is in charge of promoting the Cool Japan campaign. "We hope to foster the brand power of Japan," the official said.

Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale Celebrate 10-Year Anniversary in Hollywood
Enjoying a date night without their two children, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale went to Madeo Restaurant in West Hollywood on Friday (September 14).
The No Doubt singer looked chic in a little black dress and matching heels while holding hands with her smiling husband in a tan button-down shirt, dark jeans, and red shoes.
It wasn't just any date night, though. The happy couple was celebrating their 10-year wedding anniversary.
Gwen recently spoke about her marriage to Marie Claire in their October issue. "[Marriage] is something that I always wanted to do successfully. It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together."
She gushed about her Bush frontman, "We're learning about each other all the time. He balances me out. And he never stops liking me, which is awesome! It makes me feel happy, that someone likes me as much as he does."

The Tax Office expects to release a decision impact statement early in the new year on the
The ATO has usually approved hybrids for tax purposes, but the form of Perls V – a stapled security issued in August 2009 as debt in New Zealand, and franked equity in Australia – raised the ATO's suspicions that Perls V was being issued to avoid tax.
After CBA lost in the Federal Court, in a unanimous judgment the High Court ruled the structure of Perls V was the most cost-effective option for the bank to raise funds and the fact that investors benefited from franking credits was merely incidental.
An assistant commissioner of the ATO told a briefing at an Institute of Chartered Accountants tax conference in Sydney on Friday they were considering the possibly wide-ranging implications of the judgment.
The ATO's understanding of what "incidental" means is one important factor.
The Tax Office has understood that if it can prove the tax benefit gained from a transaction is anything greater than "incidental" to the reason for the issue, it can be argued to be a "substantial" purpose, and therefore done to avoid tax.
Assistant Commissioner Graeme Hager said it appears the High Court decision is saying if the "purpose, however substantial, is just a natural consequence of the dominant purpose – in this case the raising of Tier 1 capital – then it will always be incidental".
Given the time required to consider the structure and tax treatment of hybrids, he urged any companies planning to issue a hybrid to tell the ATO as early as possible.
"There are usually commercial time pressures," he said. "I think it is even better [for the issuer to tell the ATO they] may go to market at some stage in the future. It gives us an opportunity to marshal our resources."
In 2009, CBA agreed to pay the $45 million of tax payable to the ATO in the event it lost the case, in order to allow Perls V to go ahead with franking credits to investors.

Gemma Bovery Gets An Ex-Boyfriend
Mel Raido joins Gemma Arterton in the adaptation
Tamara Drewe's Gemma Arterton may be gearing up to tackle another Posy Simmons graphic novel, but she can't do it on her own. Good news, then, because Spooks and Strike Back's Mel Raido has signed up to join her in Anne Fontaine's adaptation of Gemma Bovery**.
Raido will play Gemma Tate's (Arterton) ex, a roguishly charming but occasionally obnoxious food critic, who returns to Gemma's life in the Norman village in which she's settled. The problem? She's since married Charlie Bovery, and her desires and duties are soon at loggerheads.
Riffing on Gustave Flaubert's great novel Madame Bovary, the results should offer interesting cultural osmosis with Coco Before Chanel director Fontaine, Arterton and co decamping to rural France for a tale of love, lust and camembert.

Michigan State University Researchers to Study Biomass Harvest Impact on Pollinators
Date Posted: August 30, 2012
Michigan State University Department of Entomology scientists Rufus Isaacs and Doug Landis have received a U.S. Department of Agriculture grant to investigate the effects of grassland harvest on pollinator populations and are looking to team up with grassland owners/managers to assist with their efforts.
The study will compare pollinator communities in warm-season grasslands (primarily switchgrass or mixed prairie plantings containing Indiangrass, big bluestem and/or switchgrass) that are either unharvested, partially harvested (leaving a 10 percent refuge strip on one side) or completely harvested.
The research team is looking for sites in Michigan with three grassland fields about 2 to 4 miles apart where land owners/managers would allow partial to full cutting and hay removal in the fall of 2012 and 2013.
Sampling in all sites would involve three visits (July, August and September of 2013 and 2014) to assess bee species and population levels.
The team would like to work with local cooperators who would harvest the sites in return for the harvested forage.
Study results will be used as the basis for harvesting guidelines on providing sustainable sources of biomass for bioenergy production while maintaining critical resources for pollinators in agricultural landscapes.
