Now that I'm going to be watching my sodium for a little while, I'd like to see if it would be possible to cure my own meats at home where I can watch what goes into them. I'd like to see if it can be done using salt substitutes in place of actual salt. I'm wondering what the process is, and how long it takes. The meats I'm talking about are pepperoni and salami.
By the way, does anyone know where I can find low sodium luncheon meats?

I got it to work, I think my initial trouble was I ran $ git checkout -b gr2 instead of $ git checkout gr2 On 10/28/2010 12:11 PM, Robby Findler wrote: > Under ubuntu the menus are ubuntu colors instead of grey.

I'm scared that Wellington is gonna get "the big one" soon. Earthquake, I mean.
I think our house will be reasonable ok. We get little earthquakes here all the time, so I don't get too freaked out over them, it's mostly an inconvenience trying to decide if we should stand in a doorway or not. We've got emergency water and stuff.
But since the big Christchurch quake I worry about it a lot. Especially when I'm in town with Lucy, or if I leave her with someone. And since the Japan Tsunami I worry heaps about them too, I'll never live by the sea now.
When I was little we lived by a river and got evacuated once when it broke it's bank, but our house was fine.
That's the closest I've ever been to some kind of natural disaster, what about you guys? Got any major fears? What is your area/country prone to?

Jodie Marsh has ridiculous breasts
These are shots of British reality TV star Jodie Marsh at the premiere of Daylight Robbery. Jodie is apparently the scourge of the English celebrity scene and likes to show up at red carpet events in Spandex. Think Andy Dick but with gigantor boobs. That said, don't tell me this isn't Britney Spears in 10 years. I mean, just looking at that pouch, I'm convinced this actually is her sent back from the future to warn us about something. But what? Terminators? Global Warming? Heidi Montag? Tell us, Future Britney with Implants! I swear I'll make eye contact – sort of.
EDIT: Added more pics because, well, yeah….

35 Motor Yacht — By Capt. Bill Pike
— February 2003
Evolutionary Concept
|Silverton takes the midrange motoryacht to the next level.
It was a perfect day in Ft. Myers. The sun was shining, a faint breeze wafted across the marina behind the Chart House Restaurant, and the Silverton 35 Motor Yacht was tied alongside a weathered old dock there, nose-out and ready to go. Passing the restaurant, I felt a little thrill of anticipation upon seeing the 35 for the first time, the same thrill I've enjoyed since I was a kid. Whether we're talking canoes, Great Lakes ore carriers, or curvy little motoryachts with two staterooms, a fair-size saloon, and two heads, I still love taking a boat ride.
I clattered down the gangway to the docks and headed for our test boat, noting an upbeat detail almost immediately: The Raymarine radar scanner was secured atop a lofty, welded-aluminum radar arch, well above the hardtop. This was a gratifying sight, given the drum banging I've done over the years, trying to get manufacturers to stop mounting radar scanners at low, brain-frying levels on flying bridges.
Another upbeat attribute manifested about the same time as a voice boomed from inside, over the sound of a slamming refrigerator door. "Hang on Bill, I'll help you with your gear." The voice belonged to Silverton rep Chip Shea, who promptly appeared on the aft deck with a cold bottle of water--it gets hot in November in Ft. Myers--and a helpful suggestion. The stern of the 35, he told me, was designed with extra cleats, handrails, and molded stairwells, all configured to allow easy boarding on two levels. Fixed docks at low tide would dictate the use of the boarding gate at the rear of the aft deck, but since I was standing on a floating dock, he advised me to carry the stuff across the considerably lower swim platform and then up the molded stairway to the aft deck.
Not long after we'd got everything onboard, I seated myself at the comfy flying-bridge helm station and cranked our 385-hp Crusaders as Shea began casting off lines. In past test reports on cruisers of the 35's ilk, I've bemoaned the practice of installing split engine controls on gasoline-powered motoryachts because the engines have comparatively little torque at idle speed, and so boathandlers are constrained to manipulate both shifts and throttles while maneuvering them, a task tantamount to walking and chewing gum simultaneously.
Guess what? Silverton's come up with a gasoline-fired powerplant for the 35 with gutsy, 20"x18" four-blade wheels and a torque-boosting gear ratio of 2:1 that works pretty darn well with split controls. Sure, I'd be lying if I said I was an ace at maneuvering the 35 right out of the gate; split controls have never been my thing and never will be. Moreover, I'd be lying if I denied having a little trouble returning the 35 to her berth after the sea trial, walking and chewing gum being a skill I've never been that comfortable with, either. But the bite of the props felt so positive in both instances, I have no problem declaring that I'm a fan of the 35's gasoline option, split controls or no.
Once underway, the 35 scooted across the Caloosahatchee River like a scared dolphin, with solid transverse stability in turns, thanks to a fairly flat Don Blount-designed running surface. Top end was 33.2 mph, with a fuel-burn of 70.4 gph, a hefty amount but consistent with the horsepower rating of our Crusader. Pulling the throttles back to approximately 25 mph cut fuel consumption by half, a radical improvement. Sightlines forward were excellent, primarily due to the elevation of the bridge deck, and I liked that I could see the transom while backing down, thanks to the open space under the hardtop and an open boarding gate.

Your doctor will outline a treatment plan to help you live better with cardiomyopathy and stop it from getting worse. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions. You can also make some lifestyle changes that will help your heart.
Be sure to visit your doctor regularly. Mention any problems you are having with your treatment plan. Be honest if you are not doing something your doctor has suggested. He or she may be able to make some changes to help your plan work better for you.
Having cardiomyopathy may mean you get tired more quickly. But this shouldn't keep you from being active. In fact, being active may help you feel better. Talk with your doctor about how much activity is right for you.
Stop smoking. Smoking damages your heart muscle and blood vessels. It reduces the oxygen in your blood. It makes your heart beat faster and work harder. And it can make a heart attack, also known as acute myocardial infarction, or AMI, more likely.
Lose any excess weight. The more extra weight you have, the harder your heart has to work to pump blood through your body.
Avoid alcohol. Drinking alcohol may make your cardiomyopathy worse.
Eat less salt. Salt is the main source of sodium in our diet. Too much sodium can make the symptoms of cardiomyopathy worse. Your doctor may tell you to limit your sodium intake to less than 1,500 mg a day. That's about half a teaspoon of salt.
Rapid weight gain may mean that you are retaining fluid, which is one of the signs of heart failure. Keeping track of your weight helps you detect this weight gain early and prevent further damage to your heart. To keep track of your weight:
Weigh yourself at the same time each day, after you urinate. Wear the same thing each time. Write down your weight each day.
Don't stop weighing yourself. If you forget one day, weigh again the next morning.
Call your doctor if you gain more than 2 pounds in 1 day, more than 5 pounds in 1 week, or whatever weight gain you were told to report by your doctor.
Contact your doctor if you have:
Faint or have dizzy spells.
Notice new symptoms from your medication.
Have a new onset of coughing.
Have trouble breathing, especially if it occurs while at rest or lying down.
Get tired faster.
Begin urinating less often.
Find that your feet or ankles swell more than usual, if you have swelling in your legs or abdomen, or if the veins in your neck stick out more than usual.
Have tightness or pain in your chest.

It was more like chest to shoulder high with occasional head high sets. Haven't had surf out here like that for weeks and was completely stoked. Theres nothing to really complain about anymore for me ^^

SWINDON Town require maximum points from their remaining five matches if they are to reach the League One play-offs, according to manager Mark Cooper.
Town remain four points off the top six after losing 1-0 to Carlisle United on Saturday, while MK Dons overtook the Robins into seventh spot in the table with their win at Coventry City at the weekend.
With Peterborough United still holding a game in hand over their rivals in sixth, the task in front of Cooper and his players is now mammoth and the Swindon boss believes nothing but five wins out of five will enable his team to challenge for a spot in the end-of-season lottery.
"We have to win five games. You win five games and you get in the play-offs, I think, it doesn't matter what order they come in. We keep going.
"As I've said all along, I'm not worried about favours and everybody else, we've just got to do what we need to do and we need to win games. We haven't won one today.
"Every game is tough. You come to Carlisle and they're fighting for their lives – you see that at the end – but we won't beat anybody if we finish things off like that.
"Peterborough are ahead of us, MK Dons are in it now so you never know."
Having been written off by many fans and pundits four weeks ago, the fact the play-offs continue to be mooted in conversation around the club is an achievement in itself.
When Cooper was asked by the Advertiser whether he was now sick of hearing the P-word, he said: "I'd rather be talking about that than relegation."
Alex Pritchard returned from suspension at Brunton Park and made a major impact as a half-time substitute, and Cooper felt the on-loan midfielder and Nathan Byrne – who replaced Nathan Thompson in the 65th minute – both added impetus to Swindon's performance.
He said: "At half-time we felt we needed a little bit more drive – we kept the ball nicely but didn't really create anything.
"We got that drive, we made two early substitutions and I thought that worked and we totally dominated the second half.
"You're always confident when you've got people like Pritch in the team, who can come up with a goal.
"Nathan Byrne had a great effort that's going in and gets blocked but we have to be better than that."

HOUSTON - A southwest Houston teen is back home with her family after four long months in the hospital.
She was the victim of a hit and run, slipped into a coma and has miraculously worked her way back to health.
Her mother, Monica Alaniz, still gets choked up when thinking about the day her 16-year-old daughter, Gena, was struck by a hit and run driver.
She recalled, "I saw Gena laying on the street. I just kept screaming and saying, 'That's my baby!' (Her sister) told me that Gena had got it by a car. They said that she flew in the air and landed on the hood of the car."
On June 27, Gena and her sister were on their way to the store to pick up water for their newborn sister.
Monica told Local 2, "When the light turned for her to walk, she took two steps, then she was gone.. my other daughter was two steps (behind her)."
The driver who hit Gena just kept on going. Gena was taken to Texas Children's Hospital.
Her injuries too extensive to completely list: her spleen was in two. Her pelvis broken in three, internal bleeding, fractures, even tire marks on her legs.
She slipped into a coma for three and a half weeks, but miraculously, awoke without surgery.
Part of her long road to recovery, rehab six days a week at Texas Children's Hospital's new inpatient pediatric therapy unit.
Gena told Local 2, "It's been good. I like the nurses. Playing soccer that is very hard when your legs don't work that good. It's hard."
Medical Director Dr. Alyosia Schwabe said a team of specialists at the inpatient pediatric therapy unit work with kids ages one to 21 like Gena who've undergone trauma that affects their ability to function, anything from strokes to heart transplants.
The unit fulfills what was a shortage of acute level rehab for kids in our area.
Dr. Schwabe explained, "In the past, we had to send kids out of the city and their care would be very fragmented and the families would be displaced it wasn't the right thing for them."
Dr. Schwabe said there's no question inpatient care leads to better quality of life for kids like Gena.
She told Local 2, "It's a huge integral part of their recovery. It helps to prepare the families for going back home. It eases that transition and the kids are going to have a better outcome too."
After counting down the days, Gena was ready to be released from the hospital.
She told her therapists and nurses, "I'm going to miss you so much. I'm leaving right now! I'm leaving!"
She still has post traumatic amnesia and doesn't remember anything about the accident, but her recovery is nothing short of a miracle.
Monica said, "It's really amazing. She should be fine because she's reading and doing things we didn't think she'd be able to do."
Gena will continue outpatient rehab, each day bringing her closer to returning to school and her friends.
Thanks to an anonymous tip, the driver who hit Gena was arrested the day after the accident.
He is now awaiting trial.

In a perfect world, 99.9% of AIX administrators would prefer their systems to look like this:
# lspv | grep rootvg
hdisk0 00c342c68dfcbdfb rootvg active
However, in reality, 99.9% of AIX administrators live with systems that look something like this:
# lspv | grep rootvg
hdisk39 00c342c68dfcbdfb rootvg active
And 99.9% of them don't have time to tidy up their systems so that rootvg resides on hdisk0.
Most of them have much bigger fish to fry, such as performance, virtualisation, automation, security, project delivery, TPS reports, etc!
If they did have time, they could use the mirrorvg and rendev commands to 'bring order to the Universe'.
1. Add a new disk to the system.
# lspv
hdisk39 00c342c68dfcbdfb rootvg active
hdisk40 00c342c6161c6b47 None
2. Rename the new disk to hdisk0.
# rendev -l hdisk40 -n hdisk0
3. Add the disk to rootvg and mirror to it.
# extendvg rootvg hdisk0
# mirrorvg rootvg hdisk0
0516-1804 chvg: The quorum change takes effect immediately.
0516-1126 mirrorvg: rootvg successfully mirrored, user should perform
bosboot of system to initialize boot records. Then, user must modify
bootlist to include: hdisk0 hdisk39.
4. Create a boot image on hdisk0.
# bosboot –a –d /dev/hdisk0
bosboot: Boot image is 49180 512 byte blocks.
# ipl_varyon -i
[S 3670248 14942228 07/24/12-10:18:11:104 ipl_varyon.c 1270] ipl_varyon -i
hdisk39 YES 00c342c68dfcbdfb0000000000000000 00c342c600004c00
hdisk0 YES 00c342c6161c6b470000000000000000 00c342c600004c00
[E 3670248 0:087 ipl_varyon.c 1410] ipl_varyon: exited with rc=0
5. Check and update the bootlist. Ensure hdisk0 is in the bootlist.
# bootlist –m normal hdisk0
# bootlist –m normal –o
hdisk0 blv=hd5 pathid=0
hdisk0 blv=hd5 pathid=1
6. Unmirror rootvg on hdisk39. Remove hdisk39 from rootvg.
# unmirrorvg rootvg hdisk39
0516-1246 rmlvcopy: If hd5 is the boot logical volume, please run 'chpv -c <diskname>'
as root user to clear the boot record and avoid a potential boot
off an old boot image that may reside on the disk from which this
logical volume is moved/removed.
0516-1804 chvg: The quorum change takes effect immediately.
0516-1144 unmirrorvg: rootvg successfully unmirrored, user should perform
bosboot of system to reinitialize boot records. Then, user must modify
bootlist to just include: hdisk0.
# lspv –l hdisk39
# reducevg rootvg hdisk39
7. Order in the Universe has been restored.
# lspv | grep rootvg
hdisk0 00c342c6161c6b47 rootvg active
Of course, all of this assumes that the name, hdisk0, is not already in use by a hdisk in another volume group on the system.
Again, if you have the time, then you could perform the following to rectify the situation.
1. datavg resides on hdisk0.
# lspv | grep datavg
hdisk0 00c342c6161c6b47 datavg active
2. Unmount all data file systems in this volume group. Varyoff the VG.
# varyoffvg datavg
3. Rename hdisk0 to hdisk99 (or something other than hdisk0).
# rendev -l hdisk0 -n hdisk99
4. Varyon the volume group, datavg. Mount the data file systems in datavg.
# varyonvg datavg
# mount /datafs
5. datavg now resides on (the newly renamed) hdisk99.
# lspv | grep datavg
hdisk99 00c342c6161c6b47 datavg
Now that the name, hdisk0, is free, you can perform the steps, outlined above, to restore 'Order in the Universe' and put rootvg back on hdisk0!

Hundreds of registered Knox County sex offenders, including those convicted of molesting, raping and abusing minors, live in areas that parents say is dangerously close to where their children congregate: school bus stops.
"It's disturbing," said Stephen Buie, whose son attends fourth grade at Spring Hill Elementary. "It's disturbing to know that there's pedophiles (that close to) children."
A WBIR 10News investigation found that of the county's almost 600 known sex offenders, roughly 260 of them live within 1,000 feet of the stops, and many live within walking distance of multiple ones. State law, however, only restricts sex offenders whose victims were minors from knowingly living or working within 1,000 feet of schools, day care centers, parks or playgrounds.
Tennessee, unlike some other Southeastern states, does not require a buffer zone between sex offenders and bus stops. And local school officials, who oversee a district of some 57,700 students, say they don't even chart where sex offenders live when creating bus routes and schedules each year.
"It's almost impossible to separate the two," said Knox County Schools Chief of Security Gus Paidousis, noting that the district has a combined 10,000 morning and afternoon stops.
He said the Knoxville Police Department years ago attempted to distance bus stops from sex offenders but "it physically, logistically wasn't possible to do."
That means, he said, parents must help keep a closer eye on their children.
"I think any time that child leaves home and they go to that bus stop, ultimately, fundamentally, it's that parental role that helps protect that child, just like the school system tries to protect that child once they're in the school and once they're on the bus," he added.
Parents agree, but they still want changes.
"I had no idea how close they were," said Joy Taylor, whose son attends Whittle Springs Middle School in North Knoxville. "I'm shocked, and saddened, and scared for the kids in this neighborhood."
At least eight registered sex offenders live within 1,000 feet, or roughly three football fields, from the E. Caldwell Avenue bus stop where her son waits each morning.
"(That's) too close for comfort, as far as I'm concerned, and something needs to be done," she said.

A Closer Look
The 10News analysis compared the primary address that sex offenders registered with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and mapped them with the bus stop locations provided by the Knox County School System.
Roughly 260 sex offenders live within 1,000 feet of the bus stops, and in a number cases eight to 10 registered offenders are clustered around a single bus stop. Some offenders, including those who pleaded guilty to child rape, lived within only several hundred feet of the bus stops.
The pattern repeats itself throughout the county, although clusters were more prevalent in the North and smaller in the West, according to the analysis.
"I don't want to let my kids out now," said Amanda Buhl, when told that two sex offenders – one who pleaded guilty to exploitation of a minor by electronic means and another who pleaded guilty to child molestation – live within 1,000 feet of her children's bus stop on El Prado Drive, just west of Northshore Town Center.

Buhl, who has two children in elementary school and another at West Valley Middle School, said she lives in what she considers a safe neighborhood where the children typically play outside by themselves.
She suggested to WBIR that the school system should relocate her children's bus stop.
"They (should) fix it to where they're not allowed to be that close to where (students) catch the bus and where kids are in general," she said.
Buie agreed.
"It's something we need to focus on as a community and be aware that our children are safe, and to talk to our children and make sure nobody's out there hurting them or exploiting them," he said.
Knox County school officials said they don't recall any incidents in which sex offenders have approached students at bus stops, but they're willing to look at the routes if parents reach out to them.
"I feel confident saying that if we had a bus stop that was in a dangerous spot for whatever the source of danger was, that we would absolutely listen to different strategies to see where we could move that bus stop to improve those children's safety," Paidousis said.
A National Concern
At this point sex offenders are not a factor when officials survey bus routes. Instead, officials look at distances, traffic patterns, curves, and blind hills.
According to the Knox County School Bus Handbooks, the routes are set to "travel the shortest possible distance from the time the first student is picked up until the trip is complete."
Elementary bus stops are no closer than ¼ mile apart, and middle and high school routes are no closer than ½ mile.
Elementary students who live within one mile from schools, and middle and high school students who live within 1.5 miles are not eligible for county-provided transportation services.
Other places do take sex offender locations into consideration when putting together routes.
For example, Georgia restricts sex offenders whose offense was committed on and after July 1, 2006 from residing within 1,000 feet of where "minors congregate," which includes school bus stops.
Florida places similar restrictions on some sex offenders, although many cities extend the distance to 2,500 feet. However, since October 2004, school districts there cannot relocate or create new bus stops within 1,000 feet of where registered sex offenders live.
Further, some regional school districts that don't have state-imposed guidelines that regulate the proximity of sex offenders and bus stops still factor in a sex offender's address when scheduling routes.
In Louisville, Ky., for example, upset parents last year convinced school leaders to relocate several stops after they discovered sex offenders living nearby them.
And in Horry County, S.C., Director of Transportation Jim Wright told 10News that he personally monitors the state's sex offender registry and uses it when he plans routes for the system's 40,000-student district.
"Nothing is more important than a child, and that has to override any policy of regulation," he said. "You have to take care of the kids first."
Wright, a 29-year school district veteran, said he's moved 30 stops in the past four years, adding that prior to the start of each school year he also makes adjustments.
He said that officials across the country also should revisit other guidelines.
"A lot of the rules that transportation uses nationally have been around 50 years, so it might be time to relook at the rules," he said. "Certain distance rules, like a fourth of a mile (which Knox County uses for elementary schools) – that's a long way for a 4-year-old to be walking at 6 a.m. in the dark."

A YOUNG woman died after her mother-in-law lost control of the car they were travelling in following a pre-Christmas get together in Wiveliscombe, an inquest heard.
Mystery surrounds the cause of the accident that claimed the life of Anna Grace Rogers, 29, on the A361 between East Lyng and Burrowbridge.
She, her husband Simon and their two-year-old son Harvey were being driven to her parents' home in Middlezoy following a family party in Wiveliscombe on December 22 last year.
Perry Guess, the partner of Anna's sister, who was travelling in the car behind, said: "I saw the car veer slightly over the white line and then rather quickly down the verge into a tree."
Mr Guess helped Anna's mother, Sandra, who had been driving, out of the car, while Simon crawled through a window; Anna got out of her own accord and they managed to free Harvey.
"Sandra appeared dazed," said Mr Guess.
"I asked how Anna was – she replied, 'OK'. She seemed relatively fine."
But he became concerned when Anna, from Cornwall, lay down beside the road and a passing ambulance stopped and took her and Harvey to Musgrove Park Hospital, Taunton.
During the journey to Taunton, Anna, who had been asleep at the time of the crash, appeared "tired" with "slurred speech" and she felt cold and sick.
Anna's husband, Simon Rogers, said he spent the night at his son's bedside in Musgrove but was called at 6am the following day to be told Anna's condition had deteriorated.
She was being moved to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, where she died before she could be operated on.
A police examination of the car and the accident scene concluded there were no faults that could have caused the accident.
West Somerset Coroner Michael Rose said the reason the car left the road remains a mystery – it may have been caused by strong winds or Sandra falling asleep at the wheel and then over-steering to correct the car's direction.
Mr Rose concluded that the cause of Anna Rogers' death was accidental, with the medical cause traumatic brain injury due to a road traffic accident.

Former Dallas police chief and current mayoral candidate David Kunkle spoke briefly during a Stonewall Democrats of Dallas meeting at Ojeda's on Tuesday night.
The most interesting thing Kunkle said during his two-and-a-half minute remarks, in my estimation, is that he'd be the city's first mayor "probably since the '70s who lives in a real Dallas neighborhood."
"I live a block and half off Greenville Avenue, right off an entertainment district, in homes that were built in the mid-1920s generally, so I understand city services and some of the problems with them," Kunkle said.
I've posted video of Kunkle's speech in its entirety above, and as you can see he didn't specifically address LGBT issues. But I did manage to hit Kunkle up for a few questions both before and after. (He didn't take questions from the audience after speaking.)

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Police say a man was found dead in his pickup truck Wednesday night in the woods off Dunn Avenue near North Campus Boulevard.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office said 46-year-old Thomas Schadowsky, of Yulee, was found shot and slumped over in the driver's seat. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police believe Schadowsky (pictured, below) was shot while he was driving and then drove off into the woods. Homicide detectives were investigating his death as a possible road rage incident.
Police said they have one female witness who called 911 and said she heard a single gunshot and saw lights in the woods.
Police said a possible vehicle of interest was seen following the victim's pickup. It was described to investigators as a burnt orange Chevrolet Avalanche or Cadillac Escalade with a FAMU license tag.
Police canvassed the area looking for anyone who may know more about what happened. They interviewed people at a nearby Gate gas station to see if Schadowsky may have stopped at the gas station or if anyone had heard of some sort of argument that may have happened prior to the accident.
According to police, they believe Schadowsky was heading to Interstate 295 when he went off the road.
Anyone with any information about what happened is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.

Fabulous Fabrications
How one company's ability to manage time, people, and details results in beautifully crafted yacht interiors.
By Capt. Ken Kreisler
Whether you are thinking of building a yacht or refitting one or are simply an admirer of them, there's no getting around the fact that on both a technological and aesthetic level, these vessels are wondrous creations. As you can imagine, it takes an army of artisans, designers, technicians, managers, and others to build one of these beauties. And of course, lots of money.
One of the most important aspects of any megayacht project is creating the interior. That includes not only design and construction but also facilitating communication among owners, designers, naval architects, and the shipyard. Throughout construction, the yard works closely with the vessel's project manager, most likely the captain but sometimes an individual assigned to the task by the builder. Either way, as the project begins to take shape, the resources of the yard, which may be involved with other projects as well, can become stretched thin, especially when the owner wants something special or even unique. At this point everyone involved may decide to call in an outside contractor with expertise in interior design and construction.
For example, the owners of a 140-foot, Palmer Johnson trideck wanted a double-helix stairway to access all three levels of the boat's interior, a daunting task that presented design, fabrication, and installation problems. To keep the project on schedule and prevent the yard from having to pull personnel from other work, Palmer Johnson called on J.S. Westhoff & Company, one of the few firms in the world that specializes in yacht interiors.
"On a project like the Palmer Johnson trideck, we were able to construct the stairway according to the wishes of both owners and designers," says Joe Westhoff, founder and president of the Lexana, Kansas-based firm. "And once we were done building it, it took us three days to put it up," he adds.
Since its creation in 1991, Westhoff's firm has specialized mostly in large, land-based commercial projects, and he says that it was an easy jump from the terrestrial to the marine. "I saw an overlap in the yachting industry [in 1999] and started offering the kind of service not too many other firms were offering." Since then, Westhoff has been involved in new construction and refits at Palmer Johnson, Northern Marine, Nordland, Swiftships, Pacific Mariner, and others.
When the firm is hired to do a complete interior, teams of veteran craftsmen led by a group of ten engineers first assess all drawings from the naval architect and break down the project into four phases, not only to streamline the work but also to better coordinate the project with the overall production schedule. Phase one involves reviewing the interior design plan with the naval architect, interior designer, and owners and/or project manager. "We go over everything they want inside the boat, including materials," says Westhoff. Phase two involves developing a pre-engineering bulkhead layout and construction program to determine where everything goes.

Notes: The investigators cloned three β-defensins, which are antimicrobial peptides, from canine testes. A canine expressed sequence tag (EST) was identified based on similarity to human β-defensins. Full-length cDNAs were obtained using 5´- and 3´RACE, then amplified by PCR and cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector. cDNA sequences were confirmed using the SP6 and T7 Promoter Primers. The tissue-specific expression of canine β-defensins (cBDs) was characterized using the AccessQuick™ RT-PCR System to amplify β-defensin RNA from a variety of tissues. RNA was treated with RQ1 RNase-Free DNase prior to RT-PCR. The identity of the RT-PCR products was confirmed by electrophoresis, transfer to nylon membranes and hybridization to probes derived from sequence-confirmed β-defensin clones; the probes were synthesized using the Prime-a-Gene® Labeling System. To localize expression of the three β-defensin isoforms in canine testes, in situ hybridization (ISH) was performed. The 3´-RACE products were cloned into the pGEM®-T Vector, which was then linearized and treated with exonuclease III to delete an approximately 80-bp region shared by the three cBD isoforms. The resulting product was used to synthesize sense and antisense ISH probes. (3453)

Notes: These authors describe a new, quick method of isolating RNA from Streptomycetes coelicolor using five-day-old standing liquid cultures. They report higher yield, better quality RNA and increased purity compared to other methods. S. coelicolor spores were pregerminated, inoculated in liquid media and incubated at 30°C for five days. After incubation, the biomass from six 10 × 10 cm dishes was harvested by scraping the bottom of the dishes and filtering onto a membrane. Then the Mycelium was scraped from the membrane, transferred to a 1.5 ml vial, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and crushed by mortar and pestle. The resulting powder was then transferred to a tube containing 1ml Trizol, processed to extract RNA and the aqueous phase transferred to a new tube for DNase I treatment. Then 375µl of SV RNA dilution buffer was added to the nucleic acid solution, mixed and centrifuged. The resulting supernatant was mixed with 250µl cold 96% ethanol, loaded on an SV column and centrifuged for one minute. The column was then processed as described in the SV Total RNA Isolation System protocol. RNA was eluted from the column by adding 50µl of nuclease-free water and the concentration determined by spectrophotometry. To check the RNA quality, 5µg of the isolated RNA was loaded on a denaturing formaldehyde agarose gel and subjected to electrophoresis for 1 hour or used for Northern hybridizations with a nylon membrane. The 16S DNA probe was labeled with 32P-dCTP using the Prime-a-Gene® Labeling System. (3070)

Notes: The authors identified a TERMINAL FLOWER homolog, CsTFL, in Washington navel oranges (Citrus sinensis) and investigated its role and the role of other genes in juvenility and flower production. The CsTFL gene was amplified from genomic DNA using PCR and degenerate primers, and amplification products were cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector. The resulting clones were sequenced using the fmol® DNA Cycle Sequencing System. The CsTFL cDNA was amplified by RT-PCR, using 4 µg of total RNA from whole flowers and ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptase. The amplified cDNA was then cloned into the pGEM®-T Easy Vector. To evaluate CsTFL gene copy number and allele origins, the authors performed a Southern blot with 10 µg of genomic DNA and a CsTFL probe labeled with the Prime-a-Gene® Labeling System. To characterize CsTFL expression in various citrus tissues, RT-PCR was performed with 2 µg of total RNA and ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptase. The levels of CsTFL RNA and other RNAs were determined by cDNA synthesis using ImProm-II™ Reverse Transcriptase, followed by real-time PCR. Amplification products were quantitated by SYBR® Green fluorescence. Standard curves for each real-time PCR target were generated using known amounts of in vitro transcribed RNA. Prior to reverse transcription and real-time PCR, total RNA samples were treated with RQ1 RNase-Free DNase to remove DNA contaminants. (3650)

NEW YORK (AP) -- Stocks edged higher in on Wall Street after a report showed that the U.S. trade deficit narrowed sharply in December. The major indexes were also boosted by strong earnings reports.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 49 points to 13,933 as of 11:54 a.m. EST Friday and climbed back above 14,000 during morning trading. On Feb. 1, the index closed above 14,000 for the first time since 2007.
The Standard & Poor's 500 index was up 7 points at 1,517 and the Nasdaq composite rose 29 points to 3,194.
The trade deficit fell nearly 21 percent in December from November to $38.6 billion, as exports rose while oil imports plummeted, the Commerce Department said Friday. That's the smallest in nearly three years. The smaller trade gap means the economy likely performed better in the final three months of last year than first estimated last week.
"The trade balance was surprisingly very good," said Phil Orlando, chief market strategist at Federated Investors.
The government estimated last week that the U.S. economy contracted at an annual rate of 0.1 percent in the last three months of 2012. Orlando estimates that growth may now be revised to show growth of 0.5 percent.
Shares of LinkedIn, the online professional networking service, jumped $23.55, or 19 percent, to $147.60 after the company reported fourth-quarter results late Thursday that beat analysts' forecasts. AOL soared $2.15 to $33.56 Friday after the Internet company said its quarterly revenue grew for the first time in eight years, helped by strength in worldwide advertising.
Currently, analysts are expecting earnings for the fourth quarter of 2012 to rise 6.5 percent for S&P 500 companies, according to data from S&P Capital I&Q. That's an increase from the 2.4 percent growth rate recorded for the preceding quarter.
Wall Street is also bracing for what is forecast to be the largest winter storm in more than a year with up to 2 feet of snow forecast along the densely populated Interstate 95 corridor from the New York City area to Boston and beyond.
Markets are little changed for the week, suggesting that a rally that pushed the major indexes close to record levels early this year may have stalled.
The Dow had its best January in almost two decades and is up 6.9 percent on the year. The S&P 500 is 6.4 percent higher in the same period. A last-minute budget deal to avoid the "fiscal cliff" and optimism about the housing market and a gradually improving jobs market have powered the rally.
Stocks have benefited as investors poured a net $4.1 billion into stock mutual funds since the start of the year, according to data provided by Lipper.
As stocks have gained, Treasurys have slumped. The yield on the 10-year note rose, which moves inversely to its price, rose one basis point to 1.97 percent.
Among other stocks making big moves;
-- Microchip Technology, a semiconductor maker, jumped $2.22 to $36.16 after its earnings beat estimates. The company said it was seeing "exceptionally strong" bookings.
-- Moody's slumped $2.60 to $44.45 even after reporting that fourth-quarter net income jumped 66 percent and revenue blew away expectations. Many are expecting the ratings agency will be the next target of the Justice Department, which filed a suit against rival Standard & Poor's for its actions before the housing market collapse.
-- Activision Blizzard, the video game maker that counts blockbuster "Call of Duty" among its titles, rose $1.32, or 10.9 percent, to $13.48. The company posted sharply higher earnings and revenue in the fourth quarter, surpassing Wall Street's expectations.

The Most Important People on The Internet:
Volume 2.38
Welcome to this week's installment of The Most Important People on The Internet where I don't know what the hell you've been feeding each other, but you people brought it this week because I honestly don't think we've had an MIP over 25 comments since Amanda Bynes' 80th hit and run which is a really long time, I know. However, if you're hoping like I was that this thing would be engorged to the point of explosion with Jon Hamm's penis jokes, turns out basically everyone that looked at it was frozen in awe and barely able to speak. In fact, I'm almost positive dudes from Westboro Baptist looked at that thing and went, "Praise the Lord and pass the cockunition, goddamn!" It's powers are legion, I tell you.
Jon Hamm's penis be with you,

MARLBOROUGH'S Nathan Morgan celebrated a record-breaking performance after scoring a whopping 81 points as his side clinched the Dorset & Wilts Two North title last weekend.
Fly-half Morgan (pictured right) stole the show with nine tries and kicked 18 conversions as the leaders demolished Swindon College Old Boys 2nd 148-0 on Saturday despite only playing 65 of the 80 minutes.
The victory still fell short of the British record, broken on the same day as Dorset Dockers thrashed Dorchester 2nd 212-0, but Morgan shattered his club's previous best-ever tries, conversions and individual hauls.
"In all of the time I've been at Marlborough, I've scored 40-odd once or twice and I remember other players getting that much but nothing as high as 81, so it's really nice to do that," said the 31-year-old.
"I think they (College) struggled to get a side together earlier in the year and we were definitely ahead on numbers on Saturday, but midway through the first half, they had a full team.
"Back when we were in the Southern Counties division, we were on the end of some big scores, so I know what it feels like.
"Obviously, rugby's not just about two or three players but a whole team performance, and we were scoring pretty straightforward tries.
"When you're a kicker, you have the chance to score a lot more points and every time we broke, I just always seemed to be the secondary runner. I knew that I'd scored a few but I didn't realise just how many.
"A lot of players scored last weekend and we want to try and see if we can stay unbeaten for the rest of the season – that would be a great achievement."
Marlborough coach Chris Budgen said: "He's a great kicker and he did really well. The other boys worked hard to play him into those little holes as well."
New Zealand's Simon Culhane holds the highest top-class individual scoring record in a Rugby World Cup match for his 45 against Japan in 1995.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 13/11/2012 (1742 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The inquiry into the death of five-year-old Phoenix Sinclair picks up today where it left off in September.
Witness Andy Orobko, the North Winnipeg Child and Family Services intake supervisor who was both social worker and supervisor on Phoenix's case at one point, is set to continue testifying.
The inquiry is examining how Phoenix's case fell through the cracks of the child welfare system. She was beaten to death in 2005 by her mom, Samantha Kematch, and her mom's boyfriend, Karl McKay, months after social workers removed her from a foster home and gave her back to her mother.
In the first five months of her life, Phoenix had four different social workers. They had five different supervisors.
In September, Orobko told the inquiry staffing levels were so low, it was impossible to meet provincial standards. When his staff was overwhelmed, he "marshalled" files in his office, holding cases until he had the staff to handle them. Sometimes, he took on the files himself, up to 20 cases at one point, when he was supposed to be supervising them, he told the inquiry earlier.
His testimony was cut short three days after the public hearings began when the Manitoba Court of Appeal agreed to hear arguments over whether previous witness interviews should be fully disclosed. Several child welfare authorities fought the decision by inquiry commissioner Ted Hughes to give them only summaries of the commission's pre-inquiry interviews with the 140 or so witnesses who are scheduled to testify. They asked the Manitoba Court of Appeal to grant them the full transcripts -- about 11,000 pages that would have to be reviewed line by line to delete confidential information before they could be released.
Last month, the court refused the request, allowing the inquiry to proceed.
Inquiry counsel Sherri Walsh called that delay "unfortunate" for the many witnesses anxious to testify.
The high court's decision, however, is helping to guide the inquiry and will be useful to other inquiries across Canada, she said.
"I am confident we will now be able to move forward to tell the story of Phoenix and to be in a position ultimately to answer not only what happened, but also how can this tragedy be understood."
The inquiry has also been delayed by challenges from the union representing Manitoba social workers and child welfare agencies. The Manitoba Government and General Employees' Union went to court to try to limit the inquiry from finding fault. It lost that battle. It lost another court battle to grant anonymity to social workers who testify.
In March 2011, the Manitoba government announced Hughes would conduct an inquiry to examine the circumstances surrounding the death. It was to look at the child welfare services provided or not provided to the girl and her family under the Child and Family Services Act, any other circumstances directly related to her death, and why Phoenix's death remained undiscovered for several months.

6 Foods to Fuel Your Brainby Dana Angelo White in Healthy Tips, August 18, 2009
Whether you're heading back to classes or to work after a vacation, you might need a brain boost. Instead of overdosing on coffee or jittery energy drinks, here are some fresh foods to help keep your brain in top shape.
1) Spinach & Other Leafy Greens
Green leafy veggies — spinach, kale, arugula, romaine lettuce and Swiss chard — are packed with vitamins A, C, calcium, iron and many disease-battling phytochemicals. According to a recent study, men and women who chow down on 3 servings of these vegetables daily show better long-term mental acuity than those with a single serving or less (a serving is 1 cup raw or 1/2 cup cooked). Their healthier brains functioned as well as someone 5 years younger!
GET SOME: Salads and sandwiches are easy options. Wilt handfuls into pasta or rice dishes or add them to an omelet. For a simple side, saute hardy greens like kale and chard with olive oil, salt, pepper and squeeze of lemon juice.
2) Eggs
Eggs are a top source for good-for-you protein and their yolks contain some iron and heart-friendly omega-3 fats. They also sport two powerful antioxidants: lutein, which benefits eyesight (something you might need after staring at a computer), and choline, which plays an important role in your brain's development, nerve transmission and memory.
GET SOME: Make a quiche or frittata for dinner or grab a hard-boiled egg as an evening snack — it'll satisfy any late-night urges and the extra protein will make you feel fuller longer.
3) Salmon
There aren't too many things wrong with salmon. It's tasty, low in mercury, often a sustainable choice and high in protein and omega-3 fats. Those fats, especially "DHA" (the kind found in fish), are vital for boosting brain development, improving function and decreasing inflammation.
GET SOME: To keep it simple, grill or roast salmon and add it to a salad (a double brain whammy with the leafy greens). Or get more adventurous with salmon burgers or breaded and baked fish sticks.
4) Berries
Take your pick — raspberries, blueberries, strawberries and even cherries. Some research supports a connection between berries' antioxidants and improving short-term memory (a must-have in college during exam time). There's nothing conclusive yet, but taking advantage won't hurt — especially while they're in season now.
GET SOME: Skip the chips and nibble on these when you're up late working. Drop a handful of berries into oatmeal, cold cereal, yogurt, smoothies and salads for a smart start.
5) Oatmeal
Breakfast is a very important meal; without the fuel it provides, your brain and metabolism can't get going and you'll feel sluggish all day. Oatmeal is a quick pick, easily flavored and filled with whole grains. The healthy carbohydrates from oatmeal (and other whole grains) are our brain's primary energy source – plain and simple, no carbs equals no brainpower!
GET SOME: Doctor up plain instant oatmeal with fruit, maple syrup or honey. Or make a large batch the night before and store in the fridge — a quick zap in the microwave and it's ready!
6) Broccoli
Women who eat more cruciferous veggies — like broccoli and cauliflower — show slower mental decline as the years tick by, according to research. Better still, they are full of fiber and vitamins C and E.
GET SOME: Raw with some low-fat dip or hummus is easy. Try steaming or stir-frying to bring out the flavor; the quick cooking, meanwhile, preserves the nutrients. For a sweet, nutty flavor, roast pieces in a 400-degree oven.
Brain Zappers to Avoid
High-fat packaged snacks, fried foods and other calorie-laden choices (late-night pizza run, anyone?) are tempting, but these foods will only fill you up (too much) and slow you down. You'll feel sleepy, especially if you indulge towards the end of the day. In fact, a new study suggests that fatty foods can bog down your short-term memory — no good if you're in the middle of exams or a big project.

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) -- Ohio will have a new statue of Thomas Edison in the U.S. Capitol's Statuary Hall, but first there's the matter of paying for it.
A nonprofit commission in February will begin raising the $1 million needed to cover the cost of creating the statue and getting it to Washington.
The commission also will decide what the statue should look like, who will carve it, and whether it will be marble or bronze, The Blade newspaper (http://bit.ly/TG5RqK ) reported.
Doug McDonald, chief executive officer of the Cincinnati Museum Center, will lead the commission.
"We've got to get a group assembled to represent the state broadly so that we'll be successful in fundraising," said Elizabeth Pierce, a spokeswoman for the museum.
It will be 18-months to two-years before the new Edison statue takes its place in the Capitol, she said.
Edison was chosen in a vote at historic sites around Ohio in 2010 to replace a statue of William Allen, a 19th century congressman and governor who supported Southern slave owners. Edison won a close vote over aviation pioneers Orville and Wilbur Wright.
But it wasn't until last year that a bill signed by Gov. John Kasich included a provision asking congressional permission for a statue of the inventor from Milan.
Each state gets two statues of notable historic figures who are deceased. Most are in bronze or marble and stand in National Statuary Hall, south of the rotunda. Ohio's The second statue in Washington is of Ohio native and President James Garfield.
Village leaders in Milan, the Ohio town near Sandusky where Edison spent the first seven years of his life, made their case for Edison, who invented the phonograph, motion pictures and even the cement that built Yankee Stadium.
Don Gfell, owner of the Sights and Sounds of Edison store in Milan, said it's a long process to get the statue installed.
"I don't think people realize that this takes a year or two to put in place," Gfell said. "I've been pleased to hear from a couple of my friends that have visited the Statuary Hall more recently that, when the tour guide found out they were from Ohio, he mentioned that Allen's statue will be replaced by Thomas Edison."

wild rice chicken soup photo by vsimon
A client requested Wild Rice Soup, please. I responded "sure". Then I searched some of my favorite online recipe sites. Allrecipes.com had a likely candidate, Wild Rice Soup III, submitted by Diane.
It is quick
I adapted it for a pressure cooker, as I often do. Why take an hour to cook something delicious and healthful, when it can be done in 15 minutes?
That is all the time it takes to produce tender wild rice, and really tender chicken breast. To finish the soup, cube the chicken and add more liquid.
It is inexpensive
Bone-in chicken is very budget friendly, as is cooking quickly in a pressure cooker. This is a very useful skill to know. For other recipes, you can shred it (enchiladas), or dice it (salad or casseroles). I am sure you have many other ideas for cooked chicken.
I remove the skin before cooking so the finished dish is less oily. And I still enjoy a few yellow globules of rich chicken fat, just enough for my tastes.
It is simple
Cooking a whole grain and veggies with the chicken streamlines your efforts.
And I often use a frozen blend of onion, celery, and pepper. It goes straight into the pot frozen, no dicing required. You still have to dice the carrots though.
Or you can use any combo of these veggies fresh, to total 4 cups.
Dairy free if need be
This can make a fine broth based soup. Omit the milk and add more water and gluten free flavoring base, or packaged broth. Be sure to read the labels.
Un-pressured soup
Of course, this soup is successful from scratch on the stove top. Those notes are below.
And it is also a good way to use up leftover chicken or wild rice. *chuckle* Most people probably do not have extra cooked wild rice in the fridge. But if you do, you are half way to a steaming bowl of soup.
Cook it once, serve twice, or more
This soup freezes well. So make a big batch, to enjoy now and later.
Wild Rice Chicken Soup in a Pressure Cooker
|serves 6
|metric measures
|1 1/4 pound bone in chicken
|about .5 kg
|10 ounces frozen onion, celery, and pepper blend
|280 gm
|3/4 cup raw wild rice
|135 gm

|130 gm
|3 cups water
|720 ml
|3 cups milk, or more water

|chicken base, such as Better than Bouillon, optional
salt and pepper to taste
Remove skin from chicken and discard. Place chicken in the pressure cooker. Add onion blend, raw wild rice, carrots, and 3 cups water.
Lock the top on the pressure cooker and bring to pressure. Cook for 15 minutes.
Cool the cooker by slow release, or under running water to quickly release the pressure if you are in a hurry to eat.
Remove chicken from the cooker. Allow to cool enough to handle. Remove bones and dice chicken.
Add diced chicken back into the cooker. Add milk or water to desired consistency.
Add some chicken base if you want more chicken flavor. I usually add about a tablespoon.
Serve. 🙂
Stovetop directions
Simply put all the ingredients, except the milk in a stock-pot and simmer for about an hour. You will have to babysit it a bit, and add more water. When the chicken and rice are tender, proceed as above.
