MHC class II
Phylogenetics and phylogeography
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes are one of the most important genetic systems in the vertebrate immune response. The diversity of MHC genes may directly influence the survival of individuals against infectious disease. However, there has been no investigation of MHC diversity in the Asiatic black bear (
Among 185 of 188 samples, we identified 44 MHC variants that encoded 31 different amino acid sequences (allotypes) and one putative pseudogene. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that MHC variants detected from the Japanese black bear are derived from the
The low level of observed heterozygosity suggests that genetic drift reduced
In Japan, the Asiatic black bear (
The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genes play an important role in the resistance to various pathogens, especially in wild animals. If MHC polymorphism declines, resistance to infectious diseases will decrease
In the human genome, the MHC region is located on the short arm of chromosome 6 at 6p21.3 and covers roughly 4 Mbp comprising 224 genes
For the last three decades, studies of MHC allele variations have been performed not only in humans and laboratory animals but also in populations of wild mammals. Many such studies of wild mammals have demonstrated a relationship between low levels of MHC diversity and decreases in species population fitness (see below). MHC diversity was examined in pinniped species, which are believed to be closely related phylogenetically to ursine species
Many studies have revealed a correlation between MHC diversity and resistance against infectious disease; however, others have demonstrated that this is not the case universally. For example, genetic variation in
For Ursidae, studies of MHC diversity are somewhat limited. In the giant panda (
Although the direct contribution of MHC genes to the immunological fitness of animals is still unclear, the relatively high genetic diversity of the MHC reflects the abundance in repertoire of binding peptides, derived from pathogens. We thus believe that MHC diversity potentially contributes to resistance against environmental pathogens and species survival, indicating that study of these loci is essential for designing a plan for conservation management of animals. Because of large variability of MHC, the examination of MHC diversity is also useful for the management of endangered wild-animal populations that show no variation in genetic markers such as microsatellite loci

In the ML tree, DRBs of some ursine species were mixed with each other although the orthology of their sequences was unclear, indicating a possible trans-specific mode in the DRBs of ursine species. In the black bear/panda DQB clade, twenty black bear DQB allotypes (Urth-DQB*02 to *04, *06 to *09, *11 to *14, *17, *19 to *22, *26 to *28, and *30) appear to cluster more closely with panda rather than other black bear DQBs, suggesting the trans-species polymorphism. However, the bootstrap value is low (41%), and the pairwise distance among the twenty bears and other bear DQB variants showed closer relationships than those between black bear and panda DQBs. For example, the pairwise distances between the Urth-DQB*04 and other black bear DQBs ranged from 0.01 to 0.08 (mean value, 0.06), while those between the Urth-DQB*04 and panda DQBs ranged from 0.09 to 0.16 (mean value, 0.13). In addition, the Bayesian tree showed that DQB sequences of Japanese black bear formed a distinct clade from those of giant panda (see Additional File

Comparison of two criteria for MHC genotyping
Due to the possibility of PCR artifacts, criteria for MHC genotyping on the basis of partial sequences (e.g., exon 2 only) remain a matter of debate. For instance, previous studies have identified MHC variants according to more conservative criteria: If a rare sequence is detected in one individual alone (heterozygote) and the sequence differs by less than 3 bp from a known sequence of the same PCR product, the sequence is considered to be an artifact introduced by PCR error
Future studies
In this study, we detected a maximum of 44 variants including one putative (23 at a minimum). However, there is a possibility that some of these variants are pseudogenized (i.e., contain frameshift or nonsense mutations in other exons or promoter regions), although we confirmed that the nucleotide sequence of exon 2 in a near full-length cDNA sequence was identical to that of the Urth-DQB*01

| Charles' Hat
| Attractiveness 5.0%
Poshness 2.5%
|Base value
|67 Gold
Charles' Hat is an item of clothing in Fable II that can be obtained in the quest Rescuing Charlie. It is worn by Charles.
Obtaining The HatEdit
To get Charles' Hat, commonly known as the Top Hat, you must first get the Rescuing Charlie quest. Find Granny Miggins in the Gypsy Camp in Bower Lake.
Once you have accepted the quest, start completing the quest as directed by Charles' grandmother, and it will take you to the Tomb of Heroes. But, in the middle of the quest, you will find Charles in the deep basement of the Tomb of Heroes. He will ask you to help him open the sarcophagus next to him.
After doing so, read the Looter's Note left in the coffin with details of the Normanomicon. When the Hollow Men start to flood in, help Charles fight them off in that room for a little bit. Charles is not a particularly strong character and will not be of much use after a few moments.
Before getting into the next room, turn off the Safety Mode on your expression wheel and spare Charles another talk from his grandmother. Right after killing him, the little item notification will pop up and show you a picture of Charles' Hat, indicating that you now own it and can wear it to your heart's content.
If you can't wait to wear it and happen to put it on before the end of the quest, when you return to Granny Miggins she will mistake you for Charles and threaten to give you a "sound thrashing," but instead forgives you because it's your - or rather Charles' - birthday, and gives you the gift meant for him. If you decide to not wear the hat, it will disappear from your inventory when the quest completes.
Trivia Edit
- An identical hat can be seen being worn by the example Hero on the preview for the Dextrous Styles: Zoom ability.
- In the Knothole Island DLC, an identical hat, the All-Weather Chapeau, can be purchased from the general goods trader on Knothole Island.

Fossil DNA from the Canadian lake told scientists a lot, the geogenetics even created a new theory of the colonization of America. The results of the research led by the Professor Eske Willerslev, head of the Centre for Geogenetic Research at the University of Copenhagen have published in the journal Nature.
The recent researchers show that the first colonizers of America may not have followed an ice-free corridor in Alaska and Canada. Earlier, the science suggested this theory as the only one and right. Professor Eske Willerslev from the University of Copenhagen has demonstrated new suggestion of his own theory. According to Willerslev's alternative theory:
"It's significant to understanding both our own history and that of animals".
Willerslev's scientific suggestions support his British colleague from the University of Nottingham. Suzanne McGowan stressed:
"This research provides the most complete picture yet of the timing and pattern of plant and animal development in a central 'bottleneck' region of the ice-free corridor".
The fossil DNA and pollen, which the scientists have analyzed thoroughly, showed the first plants appeared 12,600 years ago and animals arrived shortly after. Traces of perch and pike indicate that the lake ecosystem developed quickly. That means the first Americans colonizers followed an alternative route, possibly a thin strip of land along the west coast of Alaska.
According to the Professor Eske Willerslev, the first land animals were Bison, followed by water voles, hare and mammoths. All these animals were absolutely prepared to live in North climate 12,600 years ago, say their DNA.
The complex of researchers' methods supports the new theory of the postglacial viability and colonization in North America's ice-free corridor.

Paul Vickers, left, of Gay Lea Foods and Garnet Schellen, ADL, display some of the products the dairies produce.
SUMMERSIDE - It's an alliance Jim Bradley hopes will help Amalgamated Dairies Ltd. grow.
ADL and Gay Lea Foods, the largest dairy co-operative in Ontario, are joining forces by launching the Co-operative Dairy Alliance.
Bradley, ADL's CEO and general manager, said recently that the move is not a merger or the first step to a merger, with no actual money involved.
"The board of directors of each of the organizations has expressed the importance they place on their independence. It has nothing to do with a merger," he added. "It is the two co-operatives working together in their processing technology and on servicing markets."
The move could result in milk "indirectly" coming into production on Prince Edward Island, possibly imported from some of Gay Lea's 1,200 dairy farmers.
Island milk would not be exported outside of P.E.I. for production elsewhere.
Bradley would not confirm that by forming the alliance an expansion was in the works for ADL. He also wouldn't say if more jobs would be added.
When asked how two seemingly competitive companies came together, Bradley said that with the exception of one item, their product lines do not overlap.
"The only product that there is a commonality on is cheese. The reality is the cheese products that are the core business for each of us are quite different," he added. "We both have... a fairly unique and separate product. We don't see ourselves as being directly in competition with one another."
That helped in the two co-operatives moving forward with the new alliance.
Each has something to offer the other, noted Bradley.
"We've got a great workforce here, lots of fresh milk, lots of processing technology for cheese and evaporated milk that they don't have," he added. "They certainly have things we don't have access to or can't fund at the level that we need to."
"Although we do some research and development and product development, we can't fund an R&D department at the level that we need to be in today's competitive economy," he said. "This is an opportunity for us to work with a larger R&D group with our ideas without having a fear that those ideas will be taken and product to commercial production by somebody else."
Bradley would not elaborate on what those products are, but he did say they could be on the market within the year.
"All the dairy producers in the province are members of ADL," he said. "We need to be able to provide access to markets and diversified products and modern processing plants for producers to be able to have a secure place for their milk."
ADL employs more than 250 people and has 180 dairy producer members.
Producer owned co-op
Dairy processing and retail food distribution facilities across P.E.I.
Processes more than 100 million litres of milk each year
Milk comes from the 180 Island dairy farms
ADL employs more than 250
Provides dairy products across P.E.I. and Canada
Other markets include the U.S., Asia and Caribbean
Formed in 1958
100 per cent Canadian owned and operated
1,200 dairy farmer owners who produce 35 per cent of Ontario's milk
More than 3,800 members

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2017
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. The name Catline comes from the Old French names Caterine and Cateline, which were forms of the personal name Catharine. These names were introduced into England in the 12th century and became very popular, especially in the variant forms Catelin and Cateline. Thus the surname Catline is a metronymic type of surname, and is derived from the name of the original bearer's mother.
Catline Early Origins
Bedfordshire (Old English: Bedanfordscir), located in Southeast-central England, formerly part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, where they held a family seat from very ancient times; some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Catline Spelling Variations
Catline Spelling Variations
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Catline include Catlin, Catling, Catlyn, Catlyne, Catlyng and others.

The Great Migration
The Great Migration
Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Catline or a variant listed above:

Vipp daybed is manufactured in black aniline leather resting on a black frame of powder-coated aluminium. The exclusive aniline leather ensures a soft surface and a natural expression, and the leather will beautifully patinise over time.
The frame gives the Vipp daybed a floating appearance, and adjustable set screws in stainless steel allow for height adjustment.
100% aniline leather, aluminium frame, adjustable bolts in stainless steel
200 (L) x 85 (W) x 32 (H) cm / 79 (H) x 34 (W) x 13 (H) in
Delivered fully assembled
Also available at the Vipp Concept Store in Copenhagen.
'The choice of leather is based on our ambition to make timeless products that last both functionally and aesthetically. Just like our signature material, steel, aniline leather is durable and patinises beautifully over time.'
- Morten Bo Jensen, Chief Designer at Vipp.
The Vipp daybed features a premium-quality leather mattress made from 100% aniline leather.
The surface of aniline leather is untreated, allowing for neck wrinkles and fat lines from the ribs of the animal to be visible. Every aniline leather hide is unique, and its soft surface will hold natural markings and irregularities. The colour of the leather will fade naturally over time, acquiring patina from the very first day. Natural leather balm can be used on the leather for added softnes. We recommend the use of the product 'Gold Quality leather balm'. The mix of bee's wax and waterproofing plant liquids in the product will make the leather somewhat water- and dirt repellent. It is still advisable to avoid spilling liquids on the leather as it may leave permanent marks.
Please follow the guidelines below for optimal care of the leather surface of your Vipp daybed.
- Avoid placing the leather in direct sunligt or extreme heat, as this will cause the colour of the leather to fade
- Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush regularly
- Never use detergents
- Use the foam from soap flakes for cleaning
- Do not expose the leather surface to sharp objects
Cleaning of the leather:
- Use half a deciliter of soap flakes to one liter of water
- Apply the foam from the water to the surface of the daybed with a soft cloth, when the water has reached room temperature. Do not soak the leather and be careful only to use the foam
- Let the surface dry and polish the leather with a soft cotton cloth
Keep powder-coated surfaces clean and dry. Use a lint-free cloth or a soft brush with warm water and a mild detergent on both smooth and rough powder-coated surfaces.
Grease stains: Use alcohol or glass cleaner to remove grease stains. Then follow the care instructions above.
Lime stains on rough (black) powder-coated surfaces: Use a lint-free cloth and a mild descaler suited for painted surfaces. Rinse with water and dry off the product.

Warner Bros. and Eidos have confirmed that the release of action game Batman: Arkham Asylum will be delayed until the end of this summer, according to a statement.
The publishers don't offer specifics on why the game, slated to appear on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, has been pushed back, only saying "the additional time will allow us to ensure Batman: Arkham Asylum is of the highest quality."
Reports of a potential delay were first revealed in Game Informer, which alleged Batman would not reach retail until holiday 2009. The game was initially scheduled for release at the end of June.
Readers, what do you think of the move?

Archbishop Hannan High School is host of the Swinging for Multiple System Atrophy baseball tournament taking place March 12-14 at three locations, including Coquille Parks and Recreation, where Hannan will play its games. Coquille is at 13505 La. 1085, Covington. There will also be a softball tournament at Coquille.
On Friday, fish fry dinners will be sold at Coquille for $7.
The other locations are Covington High School and Northlake Christian School.
The fight against multiple system atrophy is personal for the Hawks for two reasons. Sandra Cancienne, grandmother of head coach Boomer Nunez and freshman Trey Nunez, lost her battle with the disease on July 29. Also, Bobby Carlisle, whose wife, Terri, is Hannan's director of information technology, is battling MSA.
MSA is a rare degenerative neurologic condition that affects both men and women, usually starting in the 50s or early 60s. MSA is considered a type of Parkinsonism but with more widespread effects on the brain and body. There is no remission or cure, so treatment involves controlling the symptoms.

The House District 55 race is heating up, but unlike the Republican primary in the spring, it's clear the candidates are keeping their hits on each other limited to one another's positions on the issues, not their character.
After Democrat Sam Murphey charged out of the gates in last Thursday's debate and hit Republican Ralph Sheffield on his positions on school vouchers and appraisal caps, it was Sheffield who went after Murphey in Tuesday's debate. He criticized the Democrat's support from teacher's unions and his backing of less voter identification at the polls.
The second forum featuring the District 55 candidates was conducted in front of a packed house with standing-room-only in the main conference room at the Central Texas Council of Governments building.
Sheffield, however, still swayed in his stance on school vouchers. After a panel member asked Sheffield for a definitive answer on the subject, he did not provide one, saying only that although a contributor supports vouchers, it does not mean that person's money will influence him in Austin.
"I have never said I was in favor of school vouchers," Sheffield said. "I'm going to be my own person when I go to Austin.
I think that's an unfair question. ? We've got kids in failing classrooms. The kids dropping out is not going to do anything for the schools. We need to see what we can do to fix that.
"If that's a concern, then we need to talk about my opponent, who is getting money from (teachers' unions)."
Murphey responded by embracing the support he's gotten from the teachers' unions, naming three. Murphey also refused to drop the school vouchers topic even in his closing statement, saying that Sheffield is a strong proponent of school vouchers.
Education and transportation took up a large segment of the forum, but there were a number of topics the two differed on slightly throughout the night. Many times, while their positions were similar, the reasoning behind their stances were different.
One such topic was the discussion of high-speed rail through Central Texas.
Murphey responded first, arguing that it's a good concept and probably needed in the area, but it brings significant problems as well.
"When you start taking people's land and you don't stop there, you create some ill will," Murphey said. "If there's not a stop in Bell County, how do you tell people (that)? We're taking land away for public use. I'd like to hear a lot of debate on it before I'd support it."
Sheffield said it's a while off, but stood on similar ground, arguing for the personal property rights of individuals.
The word "communist" even came up in this debate, bringing a few quiet murmurs from the audience, when the candidates discussed the idea of sobriety checkpoints being brought before the state Legislature by Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
Sheffield spoke first, arguing that he's against the concept, which has been opposed by the National Restaurant Association.
"I think it's important to be very responsible as a small business owner (with a place that serves alcohol)," Sheffield said. "I require all my servers to pass the test. But I think it's wrong to scare patrons. I think that's becoming a little more communist to allow that. We're very high on being responsible servers. ... People leaving their house don't need to be scared, we need to be fair about that."
Murphey said he's not in favor of it either, arguing that it violates a person's basic constitutional rights.
"I'm not in favor of sobriety checkpoints," Murphey said. "Police have to have a reason to stop you. They can't go into your place of business and say, 'Well, they're doing something illegal, let's go check it out. You've forfeited those (constitutional) freedoms, if you (approve that). I'm for Mothers Against Drunk Driving, but we have to find another way."
Border security also is a key issue for both candidates.
"We need to deal harshly with coyotes (people who get paid to deliver people). There should be no air in their jail cell," Murphey said. "We should crack down on our employers who don't check paperwork. We don't need a special pathway for citizenship. I think we need to do something. ? I'm not in favor of active-duty soldiers going down there."
Sheffield responded by complimenting his opponent on the plan he laid out. Although he didn't mention it Tuesday night following Murphey, Sheffield has been on record saying that he does not support the idea of employers being used to police illegal aliens.
"We need more surveillance of the (Department of Public Safety)," Sheffield said. "I don't think a fence is the right answer, but we need to put a lot more resources to protect our border."

A Few Home Cleaning Tips
Keeping a clean and organized home is not difficult. It does however require a fair amount of commitment and consistency. A dirty home if left to fester soon becomes very difficult to clean. Before long you aren't inviting friends over and at the end of a long day you are starting to dread the journey home.
Cleaning can test even the most enthusiastic amongst us, yet it is necessary for mental and physical health. However there are a few basic rules that can make the chore of cleaning one that is more easily attainable.
Get home organized
First cleaning relies on organization. A tidy home is easier to clean. Often we will turn away from cleaning due to the fact that we have clutter lying around. If you want a clean home you need to declutter on a regular basis.
Advanced Air Cleaning For Better
In the present times when the air we breathe in has become so heavily populated with contaminants, it is imperative to make use of advanced air cleaning systems. Air is in fact indispensable for our survival but it is unfortunate that it has no more remained as pure and clean as it used to be in the past. Due to malpractices, industrialization and a number of other factors, the air available to us needs to be purified or it will become a cause of a number of ailments.
Inhaling populated air only gives way to several diseases. It is extremely detrimental for health as it is loaded with a number of particles and contaminants which can harm your body in a number of ways. Advanced air purification is thus essential as it makes sure that the air is free of all contaminants which mar your health or cause other breathing difficulties.
Air Cleaning Plants For Indoor Spaces
Three common plants for indoor use include Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans), Pothos (Epipremnum aureum), and Peace Lilies (Spathiphyllum clevelandii). Choosing the right plant for an indoor space can enhance your air quality and indoor decor.
Dracaena (Dracaena fragrans): These plants are indoor-hardy and require low maintenance. Dracaena can be placed near indirect lighting, but make sure it gets enough sunlight for normal growth rate. The plants should have healthy foliage, firm trunks, and an established root system. The trunk shouldn't be wilted or covered with brown foliage. Dracaena's should be watered regularly and any excess sitting water should be drained and discarded. Too much water will cause the stems to become softer and possibly rot. Plants need minimal maintenance and should be dusted occasionally.
Air Cleaning Plants
Few people take into consideration the benefits of air cleaning plants and instead opt for expensive humidifiers and air purifiers. Filter replacements, upkeep and the electricity to operate these machines can be costly. Cleaning these machines is time-consuming. Aside from being aesthetically pleasing, all plant life is known to provide the air required for breathing and to keep it clean. Why not take advantage of this natural air purifier and humidifier indoors?
Children in schools, families in their homes and employees in an office building can all benefit from air cleaning plants. If a lot of time is spent indoors, chemicals are inhaled constantly and a lot of people are completely unaware. Those suffering from chemical sensitivity may be unknowingly exposing themselves to multiple chemicals that may cause a variety of ailments. This is especially true for contractors and their employees handling insulation and building materials on a daily basis. Because of this, NASA paired up with the Associated Landscape Contractors of America to find out exactly how effective some common houseplants are at purifying the air indoors.

My Previous Blog > "Thank You For The Music"
As you may know, Atia is included in the new 2010 Your Baby Can Read infomercial, but what you may not know is that she was discovered right here on Ay, Mama!
On April 6, 2010 I wrote a blog entitled, Back in the Hospital documenting what occurred back in October 2009. The blog included videos of Atia using the Your Baby Can Read system. As I mentioned in that entry, we had a lot of time to work on flashcards while Atia was undergoing the first phases of cancer treatment.
Several readers commented on the blog asking if it really worked. I confirmed that it worked for us and in response to one particular comment I said,
...I also give a lot of credit to the "Your Baby Can Read" system. They've mastered the technique of teaching kids - I truly think it's magic! Gosh, you'd think I worked for that company. Wish I could get Atia on the infomercial!
The next day, I received a message from Your Baby Can Read's public relations firm. They'd seen my blog, watched the videos and wanted to include Atia in their upcoming 2010 infomercial. What? They'd read my blog? They'd watched Atia's video? I was shocked, excited and somewhat skeptical - so much so that I asked Steve to look up the phone number online to make sure it was legit.
Well, it was legit and the PR firm hooked me up with the infomercial producers in Los Angeles, CA. They were nearing the end of filming and had no plans of coming out to Chicago, so they asked if we'd be willing to set up a video camera and give an over-the-phone interview while recording ourselves.
Weird, right? I thought, There's no way this is going to work. How will we know if we're recording ourselves properly? How will we know if we look good? How will we know if the lighting is right?
I had tons of reservations and voiced them to the producer. She patiently walked me through everything. It wasn't the first time they'd captured a testimonial this way, so they knew it worked.
We set up the camera on a tripod and then looked into it while answering the questions via speaker phone. It was bizarre at first, but after a few minutes it was no big deal.
Steve and I didn't practice what we were going to say. In hindsight, we wish we would have. Both of us now cringe while watching certain parts. For me, it's when I say "From a parent's standpoint, it gets two seals of of approval" and make a strange facial expression. A national TV opportunity and I had to go and ruin it with my stupid face. Ugh!
I know what you're wondering; it's the same question our friends and family always ask us. Did we get paid? Nope. We didn't get a penny. What we said in the spot truly is how we feel. We believe in the system; it worked for us!
Looking back, I still can't believe that one little comment was read by someone important and triggered a series of events which resulted in Atia being in a commercial. She was actually discovered merely because I put some videos in a blog and voiced my wishes.
It just goes to show how powerful words can be and that you never know who's reading what you write... for better or for worse.
So, without further ado, here's Atia's (and Asher's) infomercial segment -- and who knows, you many even see it on TV sometime too, if you're up late or early enough.

Clinical social workers in the mental health field have a variety of options in the field, including careers in health care, schools and counseling. According to the National Association of Social Workers, clinical social workers comprise over half of the counseling and therapist positions in the U.S. The job outlook is promising for social workers overall, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, with a predicted 25 percent growth in employment between 2010 and 2020. While some careers in social work allow you to operate with a bachelor's degree, many clinical social work jobs require a master's or doctoral degree.
Community Mental Health
Paramount to the social work profession is community mental health and clinical social work. Social workers in a community mental health system may work with patients in need of personal and family counseling, group therapy or those seeking alcohol and drug abuse treatment. Graduates of undergraduate and graduate programs can find employment in community mental health systems, however, the National Association of Social Workers states that graduates with master's or doctoral degrees have a higher earning potential than those with bachelor's degrees. Some states and companies may also restrict the duties that can be performed with a bachelor's degree in social work, limiting supervision, management and clinical decision making roles to those with advanced degrees.
Gerontological Social Workers
Gerontology is one of the driving factors in health care today. This field studies the mental, physical, behavioral and social effects of aging. As a gerontological social worker, you are responsible for providing behavioral and social support to senior citizens and their families. In addition to mental health services, you may also assist seniors in getting meals through home health care services, provide information on assisted living facilities, and give them access to resources in the community to promote their social and behavioral health. While your professional training can prepare you to work in this field, social workers without prior experience in this area are encouraged to seek professional supervision from an experienced Licensed Clinical Social Work Supervisor with a background in gerontology.
Hospice Care Social Workers
Social workers employed in hospice care spend the majority of their days assisting patients with serious chronic and terminal illnesses. As a hospice care social worker, you help patients and their families cope with their illnesses and end of life issues. This might include finding services to assist with the cost of funeral arrangements, or locating support groups and grief counselors for patients and their families. While a bachelor's degree in social work is sufficient to work in some hospice settings, the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization recommends that facilities require social workers to have graduate degrees or clinical supervision from a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to practice in this setting because of the sensitive nature of the work.
Clinical Supervision
Behind every good social worker is a supportive and nurturing supervisor. Social work supervisors provide guidance, instruction and moral support for social workers who have recently graduated. Meeting with a social work supervisor is an integral component to earning the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, a cornerstone of the social work profession. Social work supervisors are typically experienced Licensed Clinical Social Workers who have undergone a rigorous supervision training program and are approved by their state to provide supervision to unlicensed social work candidates.

DWF has been named Service Provider of the Year at the 2015 West Midlands Insurance Awards in recognition of the firm's wide-ranging insurance expertise and commitment to delivering innovative legal services to its major base of insurer clients across the UK, Ireland and Dubai, where the firm opened a location in early 2015 in response to demand from insurer clients for legal support on the ground.
The firm's nearly 1000-strong insurance team advises on a broad range of insurance specialisms and has developed a number of innovative products and services to support clients, including a new claims management system and client management, auditing and training services that help clients reduce costs and achieve a competitive advantage. DWF's insurance team has also led on some of the industry's most technically complex and high profile cases, including a recent Supreme Court case in which Birmingham partner and Head of Occupational Health and Casualty Derek Adamson successfully defended DWF client Zurich and in doing so set a precedent for the levels of indemnity which insurers must pay in mesothelioma claim cases.
The team also works with many leading industry bodies and national organisations on developing policies and advising on key issues affecting the insurance industry, and has given evidence on several government committees in relation to topical issues including the Mesothelioma Bill and the Polar Code. The firm's Birmingham team in particular has been widely recognised for its insurance capability, consistently achieving Tier 1 rankings in the Legal 500 UK results, and many of the firm's insurance lawyers, including partners Derek Adamson and Caroline Coates, have been commended as leading practitioners in the region.
Caroline Coates, Head of Insurance Sector and Executive Partner for DWF's Birmingham office, commented: "This award highlights the true breadth and depth of our insurance team which is advising clients on some of the most technically complex and significant cases in the industry. This has been another strong year for our team in Birmingham and we're continuing to build on this momentum by investing in new partners and developing new offerings in order to deliver outstanding service to our insurer clients."

I have never been a fan of football. The game confuses me. What I see when I watch the game is a whole lot of big men running into each other. And it's not that I don't get sports. I am an avid baseball fan. I mean, what is a more fascinating and exhilarating than 9 innings of the great America's Pastime? And I'll watch basketball with enthusiasm, eagerly cheering on my team (go, Blazers!), allowing a win or a loss to slightly affect my mood.
So it's not that I hate sports. I just don't get football.
Regardless, I have watched more Super Bowl games that I have not. When I was younger it was important to pay attention to the commercials and halftime performances so that I could join in the conversations at school the next day. As I got older Super Bowl Sunday became a celebration about food and one I started to look forward to despite not knowing what teams were playing or who's down it was.
When I lived in Michigan we had an annual vegan Superbowl gathering. All lovers of food, every year we worked hard to out-do ourselves with impressive vegan spreads. There was the year of the Philly Cheese Steaks and BBQ tofu skewers, and then the creamy artichoke dip and football-shaped cake. Oh, and there were always nachos – meaty, cheesy, vegan nachos. Superbowl Sunday turned out to be one of my favorite holidays as I love anything that revolves around good vegan food.
This year I'm going to my first Super Bowl party in several years. Sadly, it won't be a vegan celebration of food so it's on me to impress my omnivorous friends. Cue in: Buffalo Cheddar Cheese Ball. I am a little bit in love with this cheese. Smoky, sweet, and spicy, this Vegan Buffalo Cheddar Cheese Ball is delicious and addictive. It's super simple to make, even for cheese making newbies. So whip some up for next week's big game; it is sure to impress.
*Recipe adapted from this recipe.
- Buffalo Cheddar Cheese
- 1½ cups raw cashews, soaked 4-6 hours
- 3 tbsp sun-dried tomatoes, soaked 30-60 min
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot)
- 1 tbsp tahini paste
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
Buffalo Spice Mix (recipe follows)
- ½ cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 batch Coconut Bacon (recipe follows)
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp chili powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp cumin
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp dry mustard
- ⅛ tsp cayenne
- ¾ cup large coconut flakes
- 1½ tsp liquid smoke
- ½ tsp tamari
- ½ tsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- Drain and rinse the cashews and sun-dried tomatoes. Transfer to a food processor and blend until they begin to form a paste, scraping down the sides as necessary. Add nutritional yeast, hot sauce, tahini, vinegar, and Buffalo Spice Mix and blend until well combined. With motor running add coconut oil and blend until smooth. This can take up to 10 minutes. Transfer into an airtight container and refrigerate for 4 hours, until hard enough to mold.
- Meanwhile preheat the oven to 300F. To make the coconut bacon combine all the ingredients in a small bowl, stirring together until coconut is evenly saturated. Spread evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until evenly browned and crisp. Allow coconut to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Once cheese is hard, shape the cheese into a ball using your hands. You can also use a small (greased) bowl as a mold to shape the cheese into a dome. Roll cheese in coconut bacon and serve with crackers, chips, or vegetables.
- Store in the refrigerator.

NBA retirees fill in the gaps as lockout goes on
The day the NBA announced that it would lock out players once the collective bargaining agreement expired, Commissioner David Stern also said retired NBA players would participate in its Basketball without Borders youth development program.
At first glance, it looked as if it left retired players in an awkward position — joining the league on goodwill trips while players are locked out. Where is the solidarity?
Current players are fighting for extensions of what retired players once fought for, and retired player benefits are determined by the NBA and National Basketball Players Association through collective bargaining.
Players are trying to negotiate better pensions not only eventually for themselves but also for retired players in the league's next collective bargaining agreement.
STORY: Union supports players going abroad
STORY: NBA: Layoffs saving $50 million not lockout related
However, the financial health of the league helps shape the retirement plan.
Retired players have a vested interest and are playing it down the middle. National Basketball Retired Players Association President Bob Elliott said the NBRPA, also known as the Legends of Basketball, supports both parties.
"During this time, while the two sides are working on a deal, it allows us as retired players to help bridge that gap so that representation is given to NBA basketball," Elliott said. "We really look upon ourselves as the third spoke in the wheel. I do not believe we are doing either side a disservice."
Basketball without Borders is a joint program between the NBA and the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) and uses basketball "to create positive social change in … education and health and wellness."
Among the former players participating this summer: Adonal Foyle, Allan Houston, Sam Perkins and Dominique Wilkins in Rio de Janeiro on July 29-Aug. 1; Vlade Divac in Ljubljana, Slovenia on Aug. 8-11; and Dikembe Mutombo in Johannesburg.
Nelson fan: If Don Nelson, 71, were to become coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves after recently expressing interest in the opening, he could have a fan in reserve forward Anthony Tolliver.
Nelson, who was fired by the Golden State Warriors before last season and has the most wins all time (1,335), coached Tolliver in 2009-10.
Undrafted Tolliver's stint with Golden State — 29 starts in 44 appearances, in which he averaged 12.3 points and 7.3 rebounds — secured his spot as an NBA-caliber player.
"He gave me an unbelievable opportunity," Tolliver said. "Nellie allowed me to explore and see what I had and do a lot of things I never had the ability to do with other coaches. He gave me the freedom that allowed me to find myself and my game."
•Minnesota interviewed former NBA coach and player Terry Porter for its coaching vacancy Monday, according to the Associated Press.
Briefly: Add Orlando Magic center Dwight Howard's name to the growing list of players who would consider playing overseas if the lockout continued into the 2011-12 season. "I'm not at liberty to talk about it," Howard told the AP, "but there's a huge possibility about me going to China or me going overseas to play basketball."

OMG you found an endo who will prescribe t3 and doesn't call it all 'vodoo'???
No announcement yet.
Help with thyroid numbers please :)
new posts
Originally posted by marcadav View PostMy understanding:
The possible issue with VLC for some people does not impact the function of the thyroid. It can impact thyroid hormone conversion. Thyroidmanager.org* suggests that people need a minimum of 50 grams/day of glucose for good T4( storage hormone)to T3( active hormone) conversion. With this in mind, ingesting less than 50 grams of carbs/day long term MAY negatively impact conversion.
I recall reading somewhere (can't remember where) that an issue with VLC and conversion is person specific- not impacted at all, impacted quickly with VLC, impacted after long term VLC or something in between.
That being said, other things can impact conversion as well:
1. Not eating enough
2. Low selenium. 200mcg/day is needed
3. Low Vitamin D
4. Low ferritin

From reviews I've read and saw on his website, he actually takes time to talk to you about symptoms and gets a good background from his patients.
Originally posted by Danielle5690 View PostI haven't seen any scientific research either, but I've seen/heard tons of anecdotes that very low carb (less than 50g per day, which I don't normally do) leads to symptoms of hypothyroid. Could be related, or it could be something else.
I'm having the same issue, my TSH is trending up and my T4 is getting lower. If I have the same issue next time I get bloodwork I'm going to suggest to my doc that we try a different treatment approach. I've been on T4 for years and my TSH has always been at least a little high, and my T3 is usually low. I suspect I'm just a poor converter.
Originally posted by brookesam View PostDo you supplement with selenium? Do you eat low carb? I mentioned to my new doctor (which I'm not going back to) T3 and she said only 1% of thyroid problems were due to T3 conversion issues. And I'm thinking, how do they know if endos never seem to want to test T3?! lol
I do eat fairly low carb (I don't try to keep it under 50g though... some days it just might end up there though). The post above by marcadav makes my symptoms make so much more sense! My TSH shot up to 6 after I switched to primal eating. I don't supplement with selenium (cause I'm lazy), but if it's going to improve my conversion I sure as hell need to.
I don't know about what your doc said... my case is a little different because I had my thyroid completely removed. So I know that my blood levels of thyroid hormone are all directly related to how I process the medication. It makes fixing it a little simpler, and it also means I know for certain when I'm having conversion problems based on all my numbers. When there is a functioning thyroid, the interplay of medication and hormones becomes a little more complicated.
