Antisense RNA
Antisense RNA (asRNA) is a single-stranded RNA that is complementary to a messenger RNA (mRNA) strand transcribed within a cell. Some authors have used the term micRNA (mRNA-interfering complementary RNA) to refer to these RNAs but it is not widely used.[1]
Antisense RNA may be introduced into a cell to inhibit translation of a complementary mRNA by base pairing to it and physically obstructing the translation machinery.[2] This effect is therefore stoichiometric. An example of naturally occurring mRNA antisense mechanism is the hok/sok system of the E. coli R1 plasmid. Antisense RNA has long been thought of as a promising technique for disease therapy; the first antisense therapeutic to reach the market is the drug fomivirsen, approved in 1998. Mipomersen was approved in the United States in 2013. One commentator has characterized antisense RNA as one of "dozens of technologies that are gorgeous in concept, but exasperating in [commercialization]".[3] Generally, antisense RNA still lack effective design, biological activity, and efficient route of administration.[4]
The effects of antisense RNA are related with the effects of RNA interference (RNAi). The RNAi process, found only in eukaryotes, is initiated by double-stranded RNA fragments, which may be created by the expression of an anti-sense RNA followed by the base-pairing of the anti-sense strand to the target transcript.[5] Double-stranded RNA may be created by other mechanisms (including secondary RNA structure). The double-stranded RNA is cleaved into small fragments by DICER, and then a single strand of the fragment is incorporated into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) so that the RISC may bind to and degrade the complementary mRNA target.[6] Some genetically engineered transgenic plants that express antisense RNA do activate the RNAi pathway.[7] This processes resulted in differing magnitudes of gene silencing induced by the expression of antisense RNA. Well-known examples include the Flavr Savr tomato and two cultivars of ringspot-resistant papaya.[8][9]
Transcription of longer cis-antisense transcripts is a common phenomenon in the mammalian transcriptome.[10] Although the function of some cases have been described, such as the Zeb2/Sip1 antisense RNA, no general function has been elucidated. In the case of Zeb2/Sip1,[11] the antisense noncoding RNA is opposite the 5' splice site of an intron in the 5'UTR of the Zeb2 mRNA. Expression of the antisense ncRNA prevents splicing of an intron that contains a ribosome entry site necessary for efficient expression of the Zeb2 protein. Transcription of long antisense ncRNAs is often concordant with the associated protein-coding gene,[12] but more detailed studies have revealed that the relative expression patterns of the mRNA and antisense ncRNA are complex.[13][14]

We're going on a 10 night cruise of the Eastern Mediterranean next week. We leave from Savona, Italy. I did a little research myself as there will be time to tour the city before or after our cruise. Here is what I found. And I'll let you know how it goes when we return:
Discreet, nearly excessively so, Savona is still full of surprises. Though not a part of the important itineraries it is ready to disclose the magic of its "caruggi" (typical narrow lanes), the shade of its towers, between a formidable stronghold and the sea of Liguria . It is a town worth a visit where also food care can be an experience.
Its mild climate allures the visitor to discover and appreciate its atmosphere with an impressive heritage of historical buildings, artistic beauties: from early in the low MiddIe Ages to XV and XVI centuries, is the influence of the Popes from Savona, Sixtus IV (1471-83) and lulius 11 (1503-13).
The town today welcomes tourists who love the sun and sea find here breezy hot summers and long sandy beaches. Delicate, new flavors are the keynotes of the local genuine and simple food. Connoisseurs will appreciate "la buridda di stoccafisso» (a stew of stockfish), la "torta pasqualina" (a vegetable pie), "i ravioli di magro" (vegetable raviolis), "le verdure ripiene" (stuffed vegetables) and a rích variety of sea dishes. Other traditional, though less sophisticated, delicacies are la "farinata di ceci e grano" (a pancake of wheat or chickpea flour), le "fette di panizza" (a fried chickpea flour based dish) and "le frittelle di baccalà (fried cod). The desserts: the famous "amaretti di Sassello" (bitter-sweet macaroons) and the candied fruit of Savona. All washed down with the Lumassína, Buzzetto, Pigato and other local wines, produced in small quantities and nearly impossible to find outside this area.

Field Reports1 Dec, 2007 By: Thomas Haire, Courtney Beth Pugatch Response
Trudeau Found in Contempt by Federal Court Judge
CHICAGO — On Nov. 19, famous infomercial host and marketer Kevin Trudeau was found in contempt of a federal court order barring him from misrepresenting the contents of his popular books in a television ad. The Chicago Tribune reports that U.S. District Court Judge Robert Gettleman concurred with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) that Trudeau was guilty of deceiving viewers of the long-form DRTV ad for "The Weight-Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You to Know About."
The book s not the problem — it s Kevin Trudeau s statements in the ad promoting the book, says the FTC.
In the show, Trudeau calls the diet plan described in his book as "the easiest method known on planet Earth." He also contends that if readers follow the diet plan, they will be able to eat "anything you want." However, the FTC contended — and Gettleman agreed — that the diet plan was anything but simple and did not allow readers to eat "anything," putting Trudeau squarely at odds with an order prohibiting him from misrepresenting the contents of a publication in a DRTV ad.
The book's weight-loss program requires colonics, forbids eating in chain restaurants and limits dieters to as few as 500 calories per day during stretches. While banning other items, such as meat, poultry and artificial sweeteners, the diet also called for readers to take injections of a hormonal product not approved by the U.S. government for weight loss.
"Kevin Trudeau is one heck of a salesman," the judge's opinion opens, according to the Tribune. "He is also a prolific author, self-described consumer advocate and 'exposer of corporate and government corruption.' He is also an ex-felon and ... [in contempt] of this court's orders."
While Trudeau's legal team argued that the FTC was attacking his free speech rights, the judge disagreed. A hearing date to decide on the Trudeau's punishment for the contempt finding is expected to be announced soon.
Jack Myers: Broadcast and Cable Network Upfront Costs Up 8 Percent
NEW YORK — The Jack Myers Research Report is estimating that costs-per-thousand (CPM) from 2007-08 broadcast and cable upfront sales are up about 8 percent — a major turnaround from the 2006-07 season's 1-percent decline. However, the Myers Report says that while the increase is "inflationary," it remains a "bargain" compared to current scatter market pricing.
The report also contends slackening ratings for the broadcast networks are pushing more ad dollars into the cable, syndication, out-of-home and emerging broadband video markets. Because the market transitioned this year to account for the "TiVo effect" (ratings once based on live airings are now based on the live+3-day ratings), the Myers Report says estimates were more difficult to make than in past years.
On the broadcast networks, CPMs rose 11.5 percent during morning news time slots and 9.5 percent during evening news. Primetime CPMs on the broadcast networks are up 7 percent. Cable entertainment network CPMs are up 8.5 percent, with cable news up 7.5 percent. Hispanic network CPMs jumped 10 percent.
"Although in many cases the marketplace seemed to have commanded high CPM increases, the net gains to the networks when the 'C3' gap is factored in resulted in only modest upfront inflation," Andy Donchin, director of national broadcast for media agency Carat US, tells the Myers Report. "This, coupled with the presently strong scatter marketplace, reaffirms our commitment to the upfront negotiation process."

Help if you are being bullied.
8 Basic suggestions - nobody should be bullied!
Click on the buttons below to jump to different sections.
Try not to let bullies achieve what they want
Bullies want to humiliate their victim and get everyone to admire their power. Sometimes it can help if you don't give them what they want.
Staying Safe Online
You are safer online if you keep your addresses, passwords and mobile number private. Think about this in chatrooms and on IM. Don't share your location either.
Sometimes cyberbullying is carried on from bullying in school. Report it and get it stopped.
If you are cyberbullied, don't reply or delete, but save the evidence and get help from an adult or one of the services listed here. You can block the sender.
Think before accepting messages or files from other phones.
Think before you forward a message that is cruel about someone - could you be bullying someone else?
If you post photos of yourself online, would you be happy for your mum to see these? They might be around on the internet for years. Don't give other people any ammunition they could use
Find out the serial number of your phone - just dial *#06# and keep the 15 digit number safe. If your phone is lost or stolen you can get it blocked by phoning 08701 123 123. This will stop people using it and pretending to be you.
Log out of sites like Facebook so that nobody else can simply pick up your phone and go onto your Facebook page and alter your status or post messages pretending to be you.
Even trusting relationships can break up and personal pictures become public. If an intimate or nude picture of you has got out there and you want help contact ChildLine they have a new service to help you. (see below).
You can find more information on how to stay safe online at www.thinkuknow.co.uk
Choose your age group from this list:
If you have special educational needs and would like advice on staying safe online: click here for advice from ChildLine
Or these general sections could be what you need -
Snapchat is not really private! Get support hereSnapchat allows senders to set how many seconds the recipient may have to view a message or picture, but some people are working round this, saving the picture and re sending it causing many problems. Internet Matters is a useful site set up by service providers, offering advice and education.Recent warnings:The head of Sony had her emails hacked - so might you! That is how Angelina Jolie learned what this person thought of her with major repurcussions. Don't let your personal messages become public knowledge. We recommend you stay off tagged.com and tindr as young people report major problems on both of these sites. If you use Ask.fm, did you know you can turn off the anonymous feature that lets people comment and send you messages anonymously? Some people are telling us that their personal photos are being taken off their SNS page and posted on other sites like Anonib, with very offensive remarks - are all your photos set to private? When did you last check? The 'Snappening' proves that photos are not secure on Snapchat.
Neknominate an online drinking game proved dangerous even leading to loss of life as young people are encouraged to binge drink to excess. But young people have wised up and it seems to be on the wane.

Is it a crime?
No matter how bad bullying can seem, many incidents of bullying are not seen as crimes, so they are not a matter for the police. The best people to deal with cases like these are parents, teachers and other responsibile adults like youthworkers and foster parents.
But some types of bullying are illegal and should be reported to the police.
This includes anything that involves:
Violence or assault
Harassment, intimidation or stalking over some time
Calling someone racist or homophobic names or insults
Inciting hatred
Sharing inappropriate photos of under age children
Sending abusive or threateneing messages over and over again. (One incident is not normally enough to get a conviction).
Anything that is seen as a hate crime.
What next if you think it is a hate crime?
The Equality Act 2010 makes discrimination unlawful.
Schools (not Independent Schools) are required by law to have a Behaviour Policy that includes how to deal with bullying or an Anti-Bullying Policy within it. BIG Award prefers to see a full Anti-Bullying Policy which is integrated with Acceptable Use of ICT. CYBERBULYING AND THE LAW here

FINAL: Edgewood 1, Mooresville 0. Superb 3-hit route-going shutout performance by sophomore Ryan Newman. The Mustangs had seven hits, with junior Trevor Farkas enjoying a 3-for-3 night with the game-winning RBI.
END SIXTH: Still Edgewood holding the 1-0 lead. Mustangs have threatened more and hit more than have Mooresville, but the Pioneers still have an at-bat against Edgewood starter Ryan Newman, who has thrown two-hit shutout ball through six.
END FOURTH: Edgewood 1, Mooresville 0. Even after Reece Phillips unluckily lined into a double play after a leadoff single by Nick Raventos, the Mustangs still found a way to break through via a 2-out double to left from Mac Kido and lined RBI single to left by Trevor Farkas.
END THIRD: Still 0-0.
END SECOND: Still scoreless, though the Mustangs nearly broke through in the bottom of the frame on a one-out lined single to left by Mac Kido and a double to right by Trevor Farkas put men on first and second. But a flyout to center not deep enough to score Kido and a groundout ensued.
END FIRST: Scoreless. Mooresville managed an infield hit, but that was it for the offenses.
Edgewood hosts the Mooresville Pioneers today after a couple of great wins over 4A-level clubs Saturday Rockford (Mich.) and Lawrence Central. Today's start was pushed back an hour due to some Mooresville bus issues.

Analysis by Angelo Spagnolo, Editor
along with exclusive predictions by "P.B.& G.'s" Michele de Nostradamus
The Pittsburgh Steelers have been good enough to win six of the first 43 Lombardi Trophies ever awarded by the NFL (13.95% of the total league booty). For this, we as Steeler fans will be forever grateful. With that statement serving as a backdrop, get ready Pittsburgh: This season could be a vintage year even by Pittsburgh standards!
For a person who has followed the Steelers from the days before they'd ever even won a division title, I'd have to go back to 1976 to find a lineup that has so few weaknesses and such tremendous depth as this year's unit has. This team should be considered "scary good" and the reasoning is quite simple: The replacement parts are better than the parts they're replacing! For example, you replace a solid linebacker, Larry Foote with a dynamic first-round pick, Lawrence Timmons. You lose an "average" wideout Nate Washington and replace him with last year's number two pick, Limas Sweed and speed merchant, Richard Wallace. Bryant McFadden is also gone at cornerback, but William Gay, his backup last year, is a more than capable replacement there too.
You then mix in a quarterback who is the greatest we've had since Bradshaw and give him a more cohesive and better-seasoned line than he had last year along with last season's number one pick, Rashard Mendenhall back and healthy. If that's not enough for you, you also add a healthy punter, Daniel Sepulveda, back onto the roster after basically playing all last year virtually without a punter and the result is a team that right now looks even stronger than last year's SuperBowl-winning team, if that's possible.
Of course we all know about football...how freak injuries, like yesterday's "ankle-stepped-on" injury suffered by Ben, can impact a team and derail what looked like a can't miss season. But that's the beauty of this team. The Steelers are positioned virtually everywhere on their roster that if a calamity unfolds on the field, there is a competent, experienced replacement ready to take over. Ben won't play tomorrow, but this will merely create more playing time for Charlie Batch and further progress the development of Dennis Dixon.
But I'm not just talking about the quarterback spot either. Look at the times where, say, a Casey Hampton got injured and Chris Hoke came in and the team didn't miss a beat, or Rashard Mendenhall and Willie Parker get banged up and Mewelde Moore comes in and carries the entire running game on his back! It's that kind of quality depth and attention to detail that should make this year's version of the Pittsburgh Steelers nothing short of a juggernaut. They know injuries are a big part of the game. they plan for them eventually happening and shrug them off when they do.
Indeed, so strong will this team be, that they should be the last remaining undefeated team this season, losing their first game possibly on November 29th in the annual blood-letting in Baltimore. At that point their record will "fall" to 10-1. Oh there will be close calls. In weeks three and four at Cincinnati and home versus the Chargers the Steelers will require Jeff Reed heroics to save the day. Their game in week seven at home against Minnesota should be a classic too. But basically it's going to be too much Steelers defense and too much Big Ben in what should be a much more balanced offense this season: Translation, more effective running game will save wear and tear on Ben while the defense continues to suffocate everyone around.ABOVE: We sent our intrepid photographer, Dave Navis, out on a mission: Get a shot of Big Ben posing, ready to strike three for our Nostradamus predictions. Several thousands of dollars later he comes back with this... What can we say? It is Big Ben and it is about to strike three! We'll be more specific next time we give Navis an assignment!
Because their defense will once again possess such a withering attack, the Pittsburgh Steelers have a very real opportunity to repeat as back-to-back champions for the third time in their illustrious history. It's very easy to see that there are many players on this team who are just now entering into the prime of their careers. The coach is riveted onto the task at hand and the players really seem to have bought into the idea that last year's championship means nothing this year. In fact, they'd probably all tell you that it does nothing but put a big X on their back as the primary target and causes opponents to circle that game on their schedule as their biggest of the season.
It's tough winning a SuperBowl, even tougher doing it two years in a row. If ever the Steelers had a team that I felt confident could do it, it's this year's version without a doubt. Oh, by the way, that 1976 team spent most of the year winning without Terry Bradshaw (neck injury due to being "spiked" on his head by "Turkey" Jones of Cleveland) and pitched more shutouts than any defense in history. However, in a calamitous development, they lost both Franco Harris and Rocky Bleier in the same playoff game, a "Pyrrhic Victory" over the Baltimore Colts, if there ever was one, where they won the battle, but ultimately lost the war. The next week they were defeated in a dismal game against the hated Raiders in Oakland losing the AFC Championship. So the team long regarded by most as the strongest in Steeler history didn't win the SuperBowl that year. But that's football. You need luck too.
ABOVE: Michele de Nostradamus' predictions have been "spot-on" for us the past year and we can't say how grateful we are to now have his predictions exclusively here at "P.B. & G."!--editor
By Nostradamus
Below here's the 2009 schedule along with my forecast. You won't ever see many people predicting a season to be this strong, but 14-2 is very possible. Twelve wins for a team as talented as this one seems eminently doable. I'm even going to predict that there could be three games whose starting times are changed this year due to television! Where else are you going to get prognostications as detailed as that? You don't get my reputation by going out on a limb predicting a 9-7 season for a team this great. You have the guts to call it like it is.
Thursday, Sept. 10th 8:30 VS Tennessee W 20-10 (1-0) NFL season kickoff.
Sunday, Sept. 20th 4:15 at Chicago W 24-17 (2-0) Never easy to win here.
Sunday, Sept. 27th 4:15 at Cincinnati W 17-14 (3-0)* Watch it!
Sunday, Oct. 4th 8:20 VS San Diego W 24-21 (4-0)* Another tough win.
Sunday, Oct. 11th 1:00 at Detroit W 28-3 (5-0) Should stick with hockey.

Sunday, Nov. 15 1:00 VS Cincinnati W 30-10 (9-0) Real Bungles show up.
Sunday, Nov. 22nd 1:00 at Kansas city W 34-0 (10-0) Awful team.
Sunday, Nov. 29th 8:20 at Baltimore L 17-14 (10-1) A coin toss decides.
Sunday, Dec. 6th 1:00 VS Oakland W 31-3 (11-1) Organizational chaos.

* Denotes upset possibility
Heading into the playoffs, the Steelers will be the number one seed drawing a first round bye and home field advantage throughout.

MANNING, S.C. Catching his limit by 8 a.m. Thursday, Lakeland, Fla.'s Bobby Lane set the pace on Day 1 of the Bassmaster Southern Open on Santee Cooper Reservoir with five largemouth bass weighing 21 pounds, 13 ounces.
Less than two pounds behind Lane were South Carolinians Wade Grooms of Bonneau, who placed second with 21 pounds, 2 ounces; and Brent Riley of Ridgeville in third with 20 pounds, 1 ounce.
Lane said his primary patterns were casting into cypress trees in water 2 to 5 feet deep and throwing a frog for the late-day bite.
"I'm avoiding the bank right now and fishing areas that nobody's really fishing," said Lane. "I have three main areas, but didn't hit them all today. Tomorrow I'll run to the trees first and then use the frog later in the afternoon. I'm going to go the same route I did today."
An engineer with the U.S. Navy, Grooms, 39, keyed in on a variety of patterns, including working a floating worm in lily pads, flipping to trees and Carolina-rigging.
A resident of the lower end of Santee Cooper Reservoir, Grooms predicted that Friday's fishing would be tougher.
"I fished both the upper and lower lake today, hitting some of my better spots as I worked my way back up," he said. "It's going to be tough tomorrow because the 'easiest' fish were caught today, and I don't think this will be a sight-fishing tournament."
Riley, 46, a sawmill superintendent, rounded out the top three with his bag of five largemouth bass.
"I haven't caught two fish on the same pattern," said Riley. "I started out sight-fishing but then moved to a little deeper water. I got a good start and think I can catch them the remaining two days."
In fourth was Cecil Wolfe of Goose Creek, S.C., with 18-10. In fifth was Bassmaster Elite Series pro Charlie Hartley of Grove City, Ohio, with 18-9.
The Bassmaster Southern Open anglers are competing for a top prize of a $50,000 Triton/Mercury rig and $6,000 in cash.
They're also vying for points: The top three Bassmaster Southern pros in the points standings at the end of the season will qualify for the 2008 Bassmaster Classic, while the top five will be eligible in 2008 to enter the upper echelon of competition, the Bassmaster Elite Series.
In the co-angler division, which has a top prize of $2,000 in cash and a Triton/Mercury rig worth $32,000, John Moon of Brookeland, Texas, took the lead with 8 pounds, 0 ounces. Trailing by just one ounce was Lee Davis of Fitzgerald, Ga., with 7-15.
Thursday's Purolator Big Bass pro bonus of $1,000 went to Scott Lakey of Augusta Mich., for a 7-6 lunker. Co-angler Alonzo Evans of East Hartford, Conn., brought in a 6-13 for co-angler Purolator Big Bass honors and a $300 check.

Ellen Pompeo Pink Pants
Found! Ellen Pompeo Sports the Perfect Spring Pants
Did you know that Ellen Pompeo has a fabulously fashion-forward side? And she proved it in a major way rocking bright pink Stella McCartney pants at an event in LA last night. What's amazing about these trousers is that they can make you stand out in a snap, but they'll also keep you super comfortable thanks to the baggy fit. We love how Ellen kept the rest of her outfit simple so as not to go against her bottoms. A white shell top, black platform sandals, a studded clutch, and a gold statement bracelet completed her Spring-ready look. If you love Ellen's trousers as much as we do, score a pair for your wardrobe. And if you think these pants aren't versatile to work year round, think again. Come Summer, pair them with a neon yellow tank and flat sandals for a sunny stroll. Then for a cold-weather alternative during Fall, wear them with darker hues, boots, and a cozy coat.

We're all leaders all the time. Everything we do, everything we say, everything we don't do and don't say communicates. We lead with our examples. Sari Gross's Flames of Giving program is a classic example of leading by example.
Almost two decades ago. Sari was looking for ways to make her children more aware of and more connected with the community around them. She knew there were others in need. She wanted her children to understand "that people in need are everywhere and you can do something to make a difference."
So she called some local agencies that connected her and her children with people in need. They wrote up "little flames" with information about the people in need and recruited their friends and neighbors to donate gifts. That year, they collected and distributed 40 gifts.
The next year, her children asked if they could do it again. And a movement began.
Now, 17 years later, people that Sari and her children don't know call up and ask "When is the flames program starting. I want to go shopping." This year they will give away about 1,000 gifts. The program takes over Sari's life (and her house) from October to December.
This is a serious, big time model that anyone can follow.
Lessons for other leaders
Which other leaders? All of them. And this means you. You have ideas. You have thoughts about things that could make stronger connections between the people in your organization. You have ideas that can connect people in your community. What's holding you back?
- Focus your efforts on connecting people.
- Get your ideas out of your head, off the piece of paper, and get started.
- Give others guidance and structure and let them take it and run with it to multiply your impact.

One of my favorite movies is "Out of Africa" with Meryl Streep and Robert Redford. The rolling Ngong hills, the countless animals on the savannah, the dinners by firelight while out on safari are almost enough to make this city girl want to camp out. Almost. Rather than the call of the wild, I know I would hear and heed the call of indoor plumbing.
Over the past two days, I have been slowly making my way through this beautiful, painful, lonely, lovely, frightening, disheartening, and deeply engaging film. I have seen it dozens of times, and every time I watch it, I find myself imagining myself right there with them, listening to her every homespun tale, looking through his binoculars out onto the horizon he has yet to explore. I know what some of you are thinking: "It's a movie, Gail. Of course it's all romantic and perfect. Real life in Africa is nothing like that." Others are wagging an accusatory finger at the computer screen and reminding me that theirs was an adulterous relationship. The argument could rightly be made that they were taking advantage of the Africans they used as servants and in some cases as lovers. Yeah, yeah, yeah... I still like the movie.
Over the past two days, I have also been engaged in the task of decorating our house for Christmas. The tree is up, but there are still a few ornaments to put on it. The candle lights are in each of the upstairs windows. Steve has strung white and green lights on the bushes out front and is at a local store at the moment buying more lights. While walking Maya in our front yard this evening, I noticed that several of our neighbors have been hard at work on their own lighting ceremonies today. On this rainy South Charlotte night, I imagine that many families are gathering around the hearth (or the television) telling (or watching) homespun (or Hollywood produced) tales. Parents are conspiring about gift purchases. Children are dreaming about gift purchases.
And we all are looking through sets of binoculars into an uncertain future. What will the new year bring? Will there finally be peace in Iraq? Will the troops begin to return home? I hesitate to offer a positive response to these questions for many reasons. Here's one: I spoke to a friend who bought a Yorkie at the pound today. Apparently, the previous owner of the dog had two Yorkies but had to make the difficult decision as to which of the two he would take with him during his deployment in Iraq! He was allowed to take only one; the other had to remain stateside. I am struck by the fact that he was able to take a dog with him to a war zone. I expect that he expects that the military leadership expects to be there for quite a while longer. But that's a whole 'nother blog...
Back to the future: will there be peace here at home? I know of yet another couple getting divorced, another child shuffled between broken homes. A teenager separated from her family is steely and tough during the day, but I bet she hugs her pillow and silently stifles her tears when she thinks of Christmas Eve festivities away from her parents and siblings. Busy parents work long hours and barely have time to enjoy the season. Hurried children are driven from one activity to another, eating in the car, doing homework between piano lessons and basketball practice. When will the silent nights, the peace on earth, and the good will come to pass?
On a more personal note, as I look towards the new year, I have a set of questions of my own. Will I return to Spain with the children for a month-long adventure this spring? They both want to go back, and I would always rather be in Spain than just about any place else. Will Steve and I reach our fifteenth wedding anniversary next June with a sigh or a shift into high gear? What will be the health status of our mothers, siblings, children, and the two of us at the end of this year and the next? Will I ever be published apart from on this blog? What lessons are left for me to learn by the end of this year? I'm sure there are many.
Isak Dinesen left her home in Denmark for an unimaginable adventure in Africa. She met a man there whose influence in her life would change her forever. She experienced a continent rich in scents, colors, people, culture, language, strife, and sorrow. She contracted an illness that nearly killed her, but ended up making her immensely stronger. Ultimately, though, she lost her farm, mourned the love of her life, and was forced to return to her native Europe monetarily poor but emotionally rich. From her years of life abroad, she gleaned stories that have ushered readers into worlds they could only imagine. I am one of those readers.
I will never have a farm in Africa. I will most likely never see the Ngong Hills. However, often I describe my life with the same adjectives I ascribed to the film I will someday soon finish watching: "beautiful, painful, lonely, lovely, frightening, disheartening, and deeply engaging." I plan to spend the rest of my days spinning tales, looking towards the distant horizon, and dreaming of broad flat houses with equally broad porches, and unexpected guests who ask for nothing more than my company, a glass of fine wine, and a conversation that lasts longer than the candles that light up the night.

One pollen grain fertilizes an egg cell to create a seed and that seed develops into the tree.
Bee pollen is known as a low calorie food and it only has ninety calories per ounce, and fifteen percent lecithin by volume.
Bee pollen granules are the single granules that are found from the hind legs of the bees.
On Wednesday night the pollen grains burst and released small proteins that are breathed deep into people's lungs, causing asthma attacks.
Just because bee pollen is nutritious doesn't mean that we can take as much pollens as we like.
If you want good bee pollen supplements, you have to make sure the pollen came from an un-polluted area.
Ohio bee pollen is pollen that is collected as a bee flies from flower to flower collecting nectar and pollen from the blossoms.

What is your take on Thorpe's disqualification and what do you think should happen now?
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
I feel very sorry for Ian Thorpe, however a race is a race and he lost, when I try to pot the black after missing the first time I get told I can't. seems unfair I know, but such is life.
Pot Luck
It's outreageous!!!!
Ann Elk
rules rules rules- who's rules and what rules are we talking about? Sure FINA's stance is that in competition, false starts lead to disqualification from an event, but people we aren't concerned with the result of one trial, we are talking about swimming Australia's "rules" for choosing the best team. If swimming australia decides to change the selction method for one event, can FINA stop them? I doubt it. I agree there shouldn't be any pressure on Stevens, but equally Thorpe shouldn't have been required to swim in the selection trials.
Mark K
I think its childish and unprofessional NOT to allow Ian Thorpe to swim in the race. What a load of bullshit. It doesn't make logical sense. Nothing in this world is black and white anymore - rules are mean't to be challenged and broken. This is one of those momentous occasions where the need for change is quite obvious. To not allow Ian to swim is laughable and plain silly. Swimming is ABOUT SWIMMING...not about silly men and women outside of the pool with a stopwatch in their hands. Lets let the best swimmers swim, not those who get there by default.
Thorpie is an experienced competitor, so I'm amazed he made such a gaffe.
If it's the rule, then it applies to everyone, and the contestants know that before they enter the competition.
At the end of the day, we are not sending our best team to the Olympics. Given we're sending these guys half way around the world to win gold medals (and not just 'compete') then rightly or wrongly, Ian Thorpe should be reinstated because he's our best swimmer in the event. We don't spend millions on the AIS to send our second best side..
It's easy - as Thorpe has already indicated - abide by the rules and not swim in the 400m event. He has the integrity to do so, now the media should do likewise, accept the fact, shut-up and allow us all to get on with life.
Andrew Del Riccio
I do feel for Stevens, but at the end of the day the Olympics is not a primamry school event where evryone gets to have a 'go'.
Not a charity
I am sick of the majority of stories on the smh and other Aussie papers making a big deal about sport at the expense of more important issues. I reckon Thorpe meant to do it, and who cares anyway? When are we going to give more credence to our inventors and scientists? They deserve a fair go...
Angela Cleeton (Hong Kong)
A stupid rule - why should one of the best swimmers of all time be excluded because of an error in a local time trial - the rule makers need to get a grip on reality - the rule should only apply for international events.
Deplorable work by Forbes Carlisle and others trying to make Stevens stand down
Someone once tried to disqualify me from a snowboarding event because I spilt a drink on this girl. I just blamed the guy next to me and he got disqualified instead. I ended up winning that race too.
Shane Bourelly
Hasn't the media beefed this up???
Matthew T
Rusty Madill - I also am a taxpayer and I demand that we have the team that qualifed for the Olympics according to the rules.
If they are going to bend the rules because Thorpie didn't make it ! Why have the trials and rules in the first place? Let them pick the team they want. That way innocent people like Stevens don't suffer the pressure of standing down to make way for the so called super heroes. Can you imagine what we the Australian public would be saying if the Amercian favourite had done the same thing? We would be telling him BAD LUCK. WAKE UP AUSTRALIA
Ian farted. This explains the 'noise' theory and the propulsive effect blew him into the water. The IOC should re-run the trial because he merely let one off. C'mon folks, you can't honestly expect a pro with years of experience to make a false start at such a critical time!!! THINK PEOPLE!! A mishap caused by a human bodily function should relegate this to a technical fault and the race re-run.
Thorpie should be there at the Olympics. The Olympics is an event to have the worlds best compete against each other, so we should send our best.
Craig Stevens
Reading the comments, one can see the tall poppy syndrome rearing its ugly head again. For these people, I suggest they get a life and forget about that massive chip on their shoulders.
Francis Lee
oh and another thing. suggesting that the qualifying system is not a good way to pick swimmers for the olympics doesn't really stand up. when the swimmers get to athens, they only have one chance to win and the race cannot be delayed/repeated just because one athlete is not feeling well.
Seems simple enough to me
I find it shameful that in the year when the Olimpics travels back to it's original home - a time perhaps when people should be mindful of the true nature of the games and what they `used' to stand for, that such a furore can be created over such a situation. The fact that Ian is `the best of the best' for the 400m is totally separate as to whether he should take Craigs place. It must be heart breaking for Ian, but the rules apply to every body equally and the fact is that Craig won his right to swim in the 400m fair and square. Why should a swimmer who has worked just as hard as Ian be coerced to give up his spot just so Australia can have a better chance of winning the 400m; given the circumstances why does craig deserve the spot any less than Ian. For the out of touch Forbes Carlile to turn around and say the craig will be `showered with glory' is unbelievable and adds a disgusting taste to the whole fiasco. If the public really do support Australia's team then they should be putting their weight behind Craig, whether he comes in first or 10 secs behind the rest of the field - I just think its discraceful and I personally wish Craig the best at Athens in the 400m and any other swims he achieves though his hard work, and I would urge him to disregard those shallow individuals out there whose only interest is in the amount of metal that is brought back from Greece, and to keep his position in the 400m swim.

The Last Bride
Full Product Description
"Much of the credit [for the growth of Amish fiction] goes to Beverly Lewis, a Colorado author who gave birth to the genre in 1997 with The Shunning..." - Associated Press.
Of her Old Order parents' five daughters, Tessie Miller is the last to marry. She has her heart set on Amishman Marcus King, but Tessie's father opposes the match.
Impetuously, Tessie and Marcus elope to the English world, then return to Hickory Hollow to live as singles, trusting they'll convince the Millers to give their love a chance over time. But when the unthinkable happens, Tessie faces the almost-certain censure of the People. Will she find a reason for hope in spite of her desperate plight?

LSU vs. Alabama Special Olympics Unified Sports Flag Football Game Set for Saturday
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Special Olympics will host a Unified flag football game at The University of Alabama recreation center at 9:30 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 9.
The teams will be composed of students from UA and Louisiana State University, as well as local Special Olympics athletes from Tuscaloosa and Baton Rouge. The Special Olympics Unified Sports flag football game will include notable attendees such as Gov. Robert Bentley and members of the Million Dollar Band. More than 1,000 spectators are expected.
"Unified Sports provides a unique opportunity for individuals both with and without intellectual disabilities to compete on the same team, strive for the same goals, and build lasting friendships," said Bob Gobrecht, president of Special Olympics North America. "The University of Alabama's University Recreation department and students have joined with Special Olympics to host a remarkable event that will enhance the lives of Special Olympics athletes and students from both The University of Alabama and Louisiana State University. This flag-football game will highlight the great work countless college students are doing across the country to benefit Special Olympics," said Gobrecht.
"University Recreation is proud to host this event on our campus," said Dr. George Brown, executive director of University Recreation. "The opportunity to embrace and celebrate an inclusive environment that supports sport and recreation is directly in line with our mission. We believe this event will be an annual offering between these two fine institutions and their respective Special Olympic athletes. We also hope this launches even more departmental and university-wide programs and services which promote equity, inclusion and diversity."
Special Olympics is an international organization that unleashes the human spirit through the transformative power and joy of sports every day around the world. Through work in sports, health, education and community building, Special Olympics addresses inactivity, injustice, intolerance and social isolation by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, leading to a more welcoming and inclusive society.
Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 4.2 million athletes in 170 countries. With the support of more than one million coaches and volunteers, Special Olympics is able to deliver 32 Olympic-type sports and more than 70,000 competitions throughout the year. Visit Special Olympics at www.specialolympics.org.
Special Olympics Unified Sports joins people with and without intellectual disabilities on the same team. It was inspired by a simple principle: training together and playing together is a quick path to friendship, understanding and inclusion.
University Recreation, a department within the Division of Student Affairs at UA, annually serves more than 80 percent of the students and nearly 33 percent of the employees through a variety of programs, services and facility offerings design to promote engagement and health. Through its mission statement, University Recreation encourages healthy interaction through active and safe lifestyle opportunities for students and the greater University community that strengthens learning and personal growth.
The University of Alabama, a student-centered research university, is experiencing significant growth in both enrollment and academic quality. This growth, which is positively impacting the campus and the state's economy, is in keeping with UA's vision to be the university of choice for the best and brightest students.

Seth Cutright is being hailed as a hero after saving his grandmother from her burning home in Oregon on Friday.
As KATU reports, the 12-year-old carried his grandmother Rose Cutright out of her home after a propane heater began leaking and exploded. Seth suffered heavy burns across his face, body, and arms and is now recovering at the Oregon Burn Center in Portland alongside his grandmother, who remains in severe condition.
Seth's father, Roger Cutright, had nothing but words of love and praise for his son. He told Seth: "I love you. I'm proud of you. You're my hero."

text: I recently joined the Audi club by buying an Audi A3 1.9 TDI 130 in ming blue (moving from a BMW 318Ti Compact). So far I'm very pleased with the car, came with a superb full Audi service history, it's in very nice condition for its age ('53' plate) and while its does not have all the toys of my previous BMW it is a beautifully made car that returns a fair amount of speed and great mpg. I plan to leave the car stock and I'm polishing it up and currently sorting out some minor issues. The first issue is the rear tailgate/boot handle, the right pad works and left pad does not. I imagine its probably the micro switch (had that go on a previous Mini Cooper) is it easy enough to replace just the micro switch or do I need to be looking at a replacing the handle unit? The rear tailgate/boot struts are working but sounds like they are leaking pressure, the black end caps on the cylinders have cracks in them. Any recommendations for suitable replacements? Finally mine is a half DIS model, so very limited amount of info shown to the driver but I don't have the outside temp displayed at all. It would be useful, especially when you live out in the villages and the lanes can be fun in winter. Did all A3 TDI's with half DIS have the outside temp gauge, the owners manual seems to indicate that is true? Do I need to find VCDS owner to sort that out? /where is the temp sensor in the car so I can see if one is fitted? Thanks for the help.

In case you're wondering which base spirit you should be ordering at the bar or adding to your supermarket trolley this weekend, let's help you out: Friday 16th August is National Rum Day.
You could take your time wondering who comes up with these ideas or simply get into the spirit of things. We suggest the latter. Here are a few recipes to try at home:
The simple one: Backyard Lemonade
2 parts Sailor Jerry Spiced
4 parts fresh (still) lemonade
Build in a rocks-filled highball glass. Garnish with a lemon wedge.
The unusual one: Frozen Beetroot Daiquiri
50ml Havana Club 3 Year Old rum
2 tsp white sugar
20ml beetroot juice
20ml fresh lime juice
1 cup of crushed ice
Place all ingredients into a blender. Blend for 30 seconds then pour into a daiquiri or martini glass.
The contemplative one: Angostura New Fashioned
50ml Angostura 7 Year-old rum
Dash of Angostura aromatic bitters
Dash of Angostura orange bitters
4g granulated sugar
15ml sparkling water
Add a healthy dash each of Angostura aromatic bitters and Angostura orange bitters, the sugar along with 15ml of water into a rocks glass. Grind and stir. Add two cubes of ice and 2/3 of the rum and stir rapidly until the mixture starts to dilute. Add more ice and the rest of the rum. Stir until ingredients are fully mixed. Serve with an optional orange twist to garnish.
The fruity one: Gun Powder Punch
50ml Bacardi 8 Year Old rum
2 tsp gunpowder tea
50mls pineapple juice
12.5ml sugar syrup
Shake all ingredients together over ice and strain into a clear mug.
The posh one: Luxury Mojito
50ml Appleton Estate V/X rum
12 fresh mint leaves
6ml gomme syrup
25ml freshly squeezed lime juice
3 dashes Angostura aromatic bitters
Top with Champagne
Muddle mint in a highball glass with gomme and lime juice. Fill glass with crushed ice then add rum and bitters. Top with Champagne and stir. Garnish with a sprig of mint.
The party one: The Golden Summer Punch
50ml El Dorado 5 Year Old rum
25ml mango juice
15ml freshly squeezed lime juice
Dash of Angostura aromatic bitters
100ml ginger beer
Mix the ingredients together over cubed ice, either in a jug or punch bowl, and garnish with fresh lime wedges. For a jug multiply recipe contents by 4, for a punch bowl by 6.
The sipping one: Zapaca XO
Pour and enjoy.
The Cocktail Lovers say:
For an equally exotic but non-alcoholic alternative to rum, why not try coconut water? Everyone's going crazy for the stuff and having tasted it we can understand why. Try Jax Coco, it's packed with nutrients, contains no sugars and works perfectly as a mixer or on its own.
This week we're loving:
Virgin Atlantic's first pop-up restaurant at Heathrow Airport. If you're lucky enough to be travelling Virgin Upper Class, call into the Clubhouse for tasty Peruvian dishes and cocktails from critically acclaimed Ceviche restaurant. Available until 18th August.

SORRENTO — The Town Council has scheduled a public hearing and special meeting July 22 when it will most likely act on two proposals involving the fate of the town's Police Department.
The meeting will focus on a proposed ordinance calling for a special election Nov. 4 allowing voters to decide not only whether to eliminate the town's elected position of police chief but also whether to abolish the Police Department.
The second proposal involves amending the 2014-15 fiscal budget, with the town funding the police department through July but drastically cutting the funding after the month's end.
Town Attorney Matthew Percy warned the Town Council it is up against a tight deadline by holding a July 22 meeting because the Secretary of State's office has set July 23 as the deadline to place propositions on the Nov. 4 ballot.
Already on that ballot is a decision by voters on who will fill the remainder of former Police Chief Earl Theriot Jr.'s term, which expires June 30, 2017 — if any candidates qualify to run.
The police chief's office has been vacant since February when Theriot resigned prior to pleading guilty to lying to an FBI agent.
To date, no one has announced their candidacy to run for the position. The official qualifying period for the election is Aug. 20-22.
Theriot is scheduled for sentencing July 11. He faces up to five years in prison, a $250,000 fine and other conditions.
The proposed budget amendment to be discussed July 22 would move $132,000 from the police department's proposed $367,350 budget to pay for Ascension Parish Sheriff's Office protection from July 1 to Nov. 30.
The amendment also would move the police chief's salary to drainage funds for five months and remove line items for a part-time clerk and police officer salaries.
If the Town Council passes the proposed amendment, Assistant Police Ricky Smith's position would be terminated.
The public hearing will be held at 6 p.m. July 22.

Demand spurs TSMC to speed ramp of 12-inch fabs
Post a comment
TAIPEI Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is undergoing an aggressive ramp of its 12-inch capacity, planning to increase capacity by 12,000 wafers (8-inch equivalents) in the fourth quarter. The foundry also said it would ramp up production at a second 12-inch fab before the end of 2004.
TSMC Chairman Morris Chang said 0.13-micron technology is driving the capacity increase at Fab 12, the company's only 12-inch wafer facility. "When we ramped up Fab 12, there was not enough demand to use Fab 12 for just 0.13. But in the third quarter, more than two-thirds of the capacity was used for 0.13. And that percentage will reach 100 percent in the next few months," Chang said.
The chief executive also noted that demand for 300mm wafers, which has typically come from programmable logic device and graphics chip makers, is starting to broaden. He estimated that 10 to 20 customers are running product on the larger wafers.
If TSMC is a bellwether of the industry, then things have been going well. Utilization hit 98 percent in the third quarter, even as more capacity was added, and gross margins slightly improved to 39 percent.
TSMC third quarter net sales totaled $1.6 billion, up 37 percent from a year ago and 10 percent from the second quarter. The company's $443 million profit is up 380 percent from a year ago and 29 percent sequentially.
The company said it expects wafer shipments to grow sequentially by a mid to high single digit percentage in the fourth quarter, but its average selling price per wafer will decline by 5 percent or less.
Utilization will dip to about 95 percent in the fourth quarter, dragged down by a slight seasonal decline in the computing and consumer segments and by the addition of 55,000 wafers per month in additional capacity. The company is on track to spend about $1.2 billion for capital expenditure this year as it increases capacity at its 12-inch fab as well as some of its 8-inch fabs.
TSMC is increasing the amount of sales derived from advanced technology, defined as 0.18-micron and finer geometries. In the third quarter, about two-thirds of sales came from advanced technology nodes.
Chang reiterated his warning on Tuesday, however, that fewer customers will opt to use 90-nanometer technology because of its high mask costs, longer design cycles and immature tool sets. "My prediction that Moore's Law will slow down still holds," he said.

Although the growth of the iPhone may be slowing down when compared to before, Apples largely profitable smartphone franchise doesnt seem to be going anywhere. This was made clear by the latest on-target activation numbers at Verizon, the nations largest wireless carrier. The iPhone represented more than half of all smartphone activations at Verizon in the March quarter, reaching almost 56%. The share is an increase from the same quarter a year ago when the iPhone was 51% of Verizon smartphone activations.
Analyst Gene Munster of Piper Jaffray says that Verizons results show stability in iPhones franchise in the U.S. something he believes should be viewed as a comforting positive to investors in AAPL stock. Munster also projects that Apple sold 35.5 million iPhones in its March quarter, an estimate which is just slightly lower than Wall Street expectations of 37 million units. The analyst noted that the big wild card leading up to Apples earnings report is international iPhone sales.
Verizon recently reported that about half of the 4 million iPhone activations it saw were LTE models. It should be noted that currently only one iPhone model offers 4G LTE connectivity: the iPhone 5.
According to Munster, a 50-50 split between the iPhone 5 and the legacy iPhone 4S and iPhone 4 could imply a slightly weaker average selling price on iPhones for the March quarter according to Munster. He had instead expected the iPhone to account for about 60% of total iPhone sales. If the iPhone 5 represented 50% of total iPhone sales outside of Verizon, he believes it could mean a 4% downside to his projected $625 average selling price. This would lower the ASP of the iPhone to $600 for the March quarter.
All of these estimates and the speculation for Apples March quarter will soon come to an end, when the company will report earnings for its second fiscal quarter of 2013 on Tuesday April 23. Earnings are said to be reported once the markets close with a conference call with members of Apples executive team.

Black Activists Mourn the Passing of Chief Justice Rehnquist
U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice William Hubbs Rehnquist's passing is mourned by members of the black leadership network Project 21.
"Chief Justice Rehnquist will be remembered as one of a few historic heads of the Supreme Court," said Project 21 member Horace Cooper, a law professor at the George Mason University Law School. "A conservative jurist who was appointed to an activist liberal Court, Chief Justice Rehnquist helped restore a new federalism in constitutional law and strengthened local law enforcement. His tenure marked a new tolerance for faith and religion in the public square. Overall, the Rehnquist Court significantly moderated the activist liberalism of earlier courts. He was a brilliant, principled lawyer who reflected the commonsense conservative values of our nation. His stewardship of the Supreme Court will be greatly missed."
Chief Justice Rehnquist was first appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court as an associate justice by President Richard M. Nixon in 1972, and was promoted to Chief Justice by President Ronald Reagan in 1986. On the Court, he was known as a strong advocate of freeing state governments from overreaching federal intrusion and of conservative values. He was only the second chief justice to preside over a presidential impeachment. He died on September 3 after battling thyroid cancer.
"Rehnquist was a jurist who truly understood the role of the court. He did not let personal opinions cloud his interpretation of the Constitution," said Project 21 member Geoffrey Moore. "His opinions were grounded in the idea that he is to interpret the law, not create it."
Project 21 member Mychal Massie added: "The passing of Chief Justice Rehnquist leaves America with not only one less constitutionalist, but one less judicial statesman. He now takes his place as one of America's judicial servants whose fidelity was to that document that insures life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to all Americans. We are blessed to have had him serve in our lifetime."
"Chief Justice Rehnquist's gentlemanly demeanor showed that it is indeed possible to disagree without being disagreeable, despite the deteriorating cordiality of American politics," noted Project 21 member Michael King. "Chief Justice Rehnquist's standard is one that we, as a nation, should follow. President Bush now has the formidable task of selecting a jurist who will live up to this standard. Rehnquist's replacement should be someone who will follow the will of the Framers' as set forth in the Constitution, and should not attempt to legislate from the bench."
Project 21 takes no position on the confirmation of any particular judicial nominee, but believes that it is in the best interest of the United States that judicial vacancies are filled with appropriate speed.

|Time Perspective: Retrospective
|Official Title:
|Small Incisions for Cardiac Surgery
|Study Start Date:
|February 2005
|Study Completion Date:
|September 2006
There is a trend in surgery, in general, toward minimal invasion. This includes the transition to laparoscopy/thoracoscopy from open procedures, as well as the reduction in incision size for open procedures. The goal of minimally invasive techniques is to reduce morbidity and length of hospital stay, with a consequent reduction in hospital cost.
There are few cardiac operations that are currently performed with minimally invasive techniques. One of these is the repair of an atrial septal defect, which can be performed though a small skin incision and partial rather than full sternotomy. Another is the ligation of a patent ductus arteriosus, which can be performed through a muscle-sparing thoracotomy rather than a full thoracotomy.
Both of these techniques minimize the scarring and the healing time required for post-operative recovery. We need to be confident that it has not affected our outcomes adversely. We need to evaluate our length of incisions based on patient weight, operative times, hospital lengths of stay, pain medicine requirements, complications and costs.
Hopefully, these data will lead to a new minimally invasive standard of care without a reduction in outcomes.
We will review charts before November 1, 2004 at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
