Lessons From a Pinwheel: Are You Focused?February 28, 2014

This reminds me of Julie Beck's talk "Mother Hearts." She talks about how as mothers it's important to earn how to decide to learn from the spirit the best way to organize our energy and time.
Great thought. I love everything you post.
P.S. Your girls are darling!
March 2, 2014 at 3:21 am
That is such a great talk, and one I haven't read in a while (I wasn't a mother when she gave it and I'm sure a lot more would stand out this time through!). Thanks for the reminder! (And for the kind words about our girls!) xo
Nice thought. And good reminder about how sometimes we blow in vain, or at things that don't really matter. You are full of great thoughts my sister! (P.S. Did you tell Tillie to try running with it?)
March 5, 2014 at 11:31 am
Love that. And no, I'll tell Tillie..and running with it, a great analogy too! 🙂

Delicious Upgrade
Tony Karrer
And today, I just saw - Delicious Preview - Next Gen Search For Yahoo? and Delicious 2.0. It looks like search across content of bookmarked pages has been addressed. Yesterday, at my presentation Introduction to eLearning 2.0 - ASTD OC , I mentioned that Yahoo MyWeb had a few features that del.icio.us was sorely missing. And that had made me previously conclude: Yahoo MyWeb better than del.icio.us, rollyo, et.al.

1. Content Marketing – Small businesses should take advantage of this simple marketing strategy.
It is a simple approach on how to add value and online presence to an up-and-coming business. Content marketing can refer to blogging, SEO, social media – focusing on exposure to users, and potential customers.
Many consumers are looking online to do research before going to a new company, to ensure the credibility of the business.
2. Mobile – The popularity of mobile platforms has been on the rise for the last couple of years and there is no stopping this trend.
As people are increasing the time spent on their mobile devices – socializing, shopping, browsing, it seems that many consumers will be expecting everything to be available on their small screens.
It will be important to make sure that your website is responsive to both smart phones and tablets alike. Making sure that your business is mobile friendly, is and will be a standard for any industry.
3. Online Visibility – It's important to stay ahead of the competition. It's more important to stay ahead of your competition on multiple platforms.
Almost all online research done by consumers starts with a search engine, so having your brand connected with local communities (such as theSpec.com, etc.) will allow you to stay in touch with your customers. Local exposure is important through online sources because it brings in traffic that will directly affect your business.

Weather News
Residents warned of flood threatFriday January 25, 2013 - 12:42 EDT
Bundaberg region residents are being warned to prepare for localised flooding.
A severe weather warning and coastal wind warning remains current for the Wide Bay and Burnett and a flood warning is current for coastal rivers and streams north of Bundaberg.
Ninety kilometre wind gusts are expected near coastal areas.
More than 170 millimetres of rain has been recorded in Monto in the past 24 hours and 90mm overnight in Bundaberg.
Three-hundred Bundaberg State Emergency Service volunteers are on stand-by and have sandbags available for residents who need them.
"We've preparing for more activity today, obviously we've got a different team coming in this morning," Bundaberg controller Bill Daniels said.
Bundaberg District Disaster Management Group's Senior Sergeant Grant Marcus says conditions will intensify over the next 24 hours.
Transport routes to Agnes Water have been cut by floodwaters overnight.
Meanwhile, the Bundaberg Fruit and Vegetable Growers Organisation says the rain is a relief for some growers, after a long period of dry weather.
However, executive officer Peter Hockings says the downpour is a problem for others who are trying to harvest their crops.
"As is always the way with weather there's some growers still harvesting, so it's an impost to them but it's been a long time coming and growers will be feeling a bit of relief now, particularly as the cost of irrigation for many growers is going up and up and up," he said.

First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last succeed in coming to you.

University Senate Committee
Report, AY 2003-2004
Libraries and AcIS Committee
The Committee on Libraries and ACIS
met regularly throughout the Fall and Spring semesters. Early in the Fall
semester, Jeremy Waldron (ten., Law) took over as chair from last year's chair,
Fran Pritchett (tenured, A&S), who had been acting as Chair pro tem. Regular attenders at our
meetings were Ilona Bicsak (library staff), Eleanor Dickey (non-ten.,
Classics), Curtis Kendrick (administration, Libraries), Vace Kundakci
(administration, AcIS), Carol Lin (non-ten., Biological Sciences), Jim Neal
(University librarian), Fran Pritchett (tenured, A&S), Pat Renfro (Dep.
University Librarian), Nancy Ronning (alum.), Christopher Small (Res.,
Lamont-Doherty), Jeremy Waldron (ten., Law), Nathan Walker (Stu., TC). A number
of other members of the committee attended sporadically or not at all – due in
large measure to the fact that we had to change the scheduled meeting time
halfway through the Fall semester.
1. Reports and Discussion
A lot of the Committee's business
consisted in hearing and discussing reports on various developments and studies
within the library and ACIS systems. These reports and discussions
characteristically do not involve action or resolution on the Committee's part
but are an invaluable basis for Committee members' understanding of the systems
and their problems. During the year, reports in this category heard and
discussed by the Committee included:
Works system, the options for its eventual replacement
Open Knowledge Initiative
of The Libraries surveys
Offsite Storage facility at Princeton, and planning for the 4th
setting up of Libraries development team, with sections on Major gifts, Annual
Giving/Events and Grants
of records and links for open access journals on CLIO
2. Lawsuits Relating to Illegal
In November, the Committee devoted
a meeting to the discussion of issues concerning the University's participation
in a lawsuit against a student's illegal file-sharing of music from the
internet. The University provided internet records, in response to subpoena.
The Committee heard from two guests, Professor Eben Moglen (from the Law
School, who had represented one of
the students) and Beryl Abrams (of the Office of University Counsel). There was
discussion of the basis on which the University retains records of the use that
has been made of University-provided internet access. There was agreement on
the Committee on two things:
should be made to ensure that students are aware of rules about internet use
and of the existence of University records, that might be passed on under
subpoena by potential plaintiffs
the Committee should consider developing a resolution for
the full Senate, concerning the normative length of time that records of
internet use are retained. It was acknowledged that this involved also some
consideration of security and law-enforcement issues as well as student privacy
concerns: records need to be retained for a certain period in case there has
been abuse or harassment involving internet use. A two-week period was
suggested. Pressure of other work in Spring 2004
prevented this resolution from being further discussed and developed; so the
issue remains alive for the Committee to address in Fall 2004.
3. Scholarly publishing
Throughout the year, the Committee
devoted a lot of attention to issues about scholarly publishing, and the
growing crisis in serial pricing, particularly at the hands of one or two
publishers. Early in the Fall, the Committee allowed a member of a group of
scientists from the University of California
to talk to us about the issue. And throughout the year, we heard a number of
reports on this issue from Jim Neal, and considered a number of the initiatives
that he is developing to address this issue including:
membership of Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources
Coalition (SPARC), a group whose mission is to "ignite major changes in the
global system of scholarly communication."
scheduling of a number of meetings with faculty in the departments of Arts and
Sciences and Engineering over the course of the spring and next fall semesters
to discuss current and future developments in scholarly publishing/communication
in those disciplines.
hosting in November 2004 of an international conference on fair use in
libraries, focusing the need to restore balance in copyright between the
interests of information creators and consumers.
maintaining contact with other Universities, other
University Libraries, and groups of concerned faculty at other Universities, so
that we share in the growing awareness of various initiatives that are being
undertaken around the country to deal with this issue.
In discussing problems of scholarly
publishing and pricing, the Committee considered a number of issues, including
academic exception to the ordinary "work-for-hire" rule concerning intellectual
property developed by an employee as part of his or her employment
practices at various serials, concerning assignment of copyright
between scholarly publishing issues and issue of tenure and promotion
publishing practices
issues in the organization of boycotts against offending publishers
Out of this discussion, we
developed the idea of a broad resolution, to be put before the University
Senate, setting out a number of principles with which this problem might be
approached. The aim of such a resolution was to raise consciousness of the
issue, foster discussion, and move to encourage the growth of a common ethos
among members of our scholarly community about the ways in which their own copyright
(and the assignment of their individual copyright in their works) might afford
a basis for predatory pricing by publishers. The resolution aims to encourage
members of our scholarly community to think about the broader consequences for
scholarly publishing when they make decisions about the assignment of
copyright. The resolution – a copy of which is attached to this report -- was
circulated in draft at the February meeting of the full Senate, and put forward
for adoption at the March meeting. There was discussion at both meetings. At
the latter meeting, some was opposition expressed concerning the breadth of the
resolution, and its implications for faculty members who rely on their
individual earnings from text-book publishing. The resolution was tabled at the
March meeting, and the Committee's present disposition is to discuss it again
in the Fall, in the light of presentations solicited from its opponents, with a
view to resuming full Senate discussion in November 2004.
4. The "Agora" Project
The Committee heard presentations
on the initiative to set up a project enabling members of the Columbia
community (students and faulty and researchers) to indicate their research
interests and network with others who shared those interests. (This project was
also the subject of a presentation at the full Senate meeting in March.) The
Committee's support for this initiative was sought by its sponsors. Committee
members asked a number of questions about the value and implications of this
project, and resolved to discuss the matter, without the need for any further
presentation, at an early meeting in Fall 2004.
5. Other Issues
Other issues raised by Committee
members, discussed by the Committee, and referred to the Libraries for further
consideration included:
libraries' opening hours, especially access for graduate
students during breaks.
use of study space in the libraries, particularly competing concerns of
graduate students and undergraduates

Rhododendron leafhopper with K5 and FA 50 2.8 macro
Aug 27, 2014
Dear all,
a couple of days ago I opend a thread with a few insects in my garden. I did the photos with natural light, my Tamron 180 mm on a bellows and f=8.0.
The pictures were missing some sharpness - and so I tried it again - this time with my sharpest tools: The Fa 50 mm 2.8 at apertures around f=20 - and my Sigma ring flash. I did RAWs which were transferred to JPG using DxO8 - and all are 100% crops from the original photo.
Hope you like them! But, agian - any comments are welcome. I still have to learn a lot and I am glad we have so many experts here in the forum.
Best regards

About Us
Kelly is a retired Navy Chief and is a Manager for a high-tech company in Portland, OR. If you asked his employees what they would say about him, they would say that he is fair, consistent and sets clear expectations. Kelly is handy around the house and yard, so no worries about any surprises that may come up; he can handle it. Dawn has been a nurse for 35 years. If you asked her employees what they would say about her, they would say that she is fair, honest, and a great communicator. She supervised Day Surgery at a hospital so she is well organized, can handle emergencies, and is dedicated.
As a couple, we are non-smoking, non-drinking, non-partiers, and love life. I don't want to say that we are homebodies, but we like to stay in a routine of getting up early, do chores (we also make extra money typing from home), and then settle in for the day by later afternoon. We enjoy each other's company, so we don't need to go out in the evenings to go to events or socialize.
Since we are retiring early, we are looking to book up our calendar so that we can have a place to lay our head each night. We love animals and would love having them be part of lives. We also like to run, walk, and go on hikes to stay active and welcome dogs to go with us.
Why We Want to House Sit
We are looking to travel around the United States to go to different areas to house sit and see the sites along the way. This will provide us opportunities to do some camping and hiking while we go from place to place.
We would like the houses that we care for to definitely be a non-smoking house. We also prefer it to have Wi-Fi, queen-size bed, and air conditioning.
Our Experience
We don't have any house sitting experience other than for ourselves. We have owned our own homes for over 25 years and have had to do the obvious yard and garden maintenance along with interior upkeep and maintenance. We are very clean people and you will be very pleased coming home to a nice clean house and upon request a pot a homemade chicken and bean soup (I make it weekly because we love it so much).
What Can We Bring to the Assignment?
As stated above, we can bring a lot of life experience. Kelly grew up with dogs, cats, chickens, and horses and then had his own dogs as an adult. I grew up with dogs and then had my own dogs as an adult. I had Cocker Spaniels and Miniature Schnauzers. My Cocker Spaniel had epilepsy, so I had to give him daily medication and when he had grand mal seizures, I had to start an IV and give him medication. One of my miniature schnauzers had cancer, so I had to give him IV fluids daily.
On a final note, if Kelly can run a manufacturing plant and I can run a hospital unit, we can take care of your house, pets, and yard.
Thank you for reading this,
Kelly and Dawn


text: This Christmas I got a Technics SL-MC4 60+1 Megachanger CD-Player. I got it because I asked for a "Good CD player"… I suppose I should have been more specific. Anyways, I'm still going to give it a shot before I decide to return it. What does everyone think about this player? Is it a good player or a cheap player? I suppose I wouldn't be so picky if this was my first CD player, but I can already play CD's either through my HTPC or my Laserdisc player… what I wanted was a nice dedicated unit that besides having the convenience of having a separate unit, also played the CD's with better quality than my previous options.


text: Do you believe the Electoral College should be abolished? December 27, 2016, 9:36 am9 CommentsSignal Staff Signal Staff 9 Comments Share This! Facebook Twitter About the authorView All Posts Signal Staff Ron Bischof It's not a question of belief in this poll. Presidents aren't elected by national popular vote. They are elected by popular vote within states and the electors within those states are allocated by the respective state laws. The formula for electors is calculated by the number of Representatives in the House + 2 Senators per state. In our Federalist Republic, states are represented in the Federal government, not individual citizens. This mirrors how Congress is elected. Individual citizens are represented by their state and local governments. See: Constitution. Perhaps the folks that are voting for elimination of the Electoral College do so only because they don't find the results of this last election congenial. If their position is conditional, than it follows it's not based on the rule of law (Constitution), principles or logic. Further, what "Progressives" propose when agitating for elimination of the Electoral College is California, Texas, Florida and New York dictating to the rest of the nation who will be President. Since it will require a Constitutional amendment to eliminate the EC, ⅔ of states will never vote to be enslaved by a small minority of states with large population centers. That's a reality based summation. Gene Walker But for a single incorrect word ("than" where it should have been "then"), a perfect summary of the issue. Thanks Ron! Ron Bischof Missed that. Corrected and thanks. Gene Walker I truly did appreciate the clarity of your summation, and I figured you'd want to fix it. Happy New Year! Ron Bischof Happy New Year to you and yours as well! Ron Bischof Non sequitur. Your Senate and expansion of the vote franchise examples still impact the state level, as illustrated in my original post. Note that the Constitution was amended in these cases. Please advise how a national popular vote for Federal office, something that would be entirely new and unique, is a wise policy, Mr. Mathews. And why ⅔ of states would agree to such? "The rule of existing law is irrelevant when considering changing the law." Your assertion is illogical. First you must examine why the Electoral College is part of the Constitution and its purpose. That you mention Bush v. Gore tends to underscore my point about objection to the EC. In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it." – G.K. Chesterton (1874-1936) Gene Walker One can only speculate as to what the outcome would have been if there was no Electoral College. kay Vestal So most people think CA and NY should decide every thing the Fed. Gov. does. If Hillary had won you would be happy with the Electoral College. RRM Would this even be a topic if Hillary had won? If you could eliminate one of these "holidays," which would it be? Should the city have spent $354K to hold a special election to replace Acosta, rather than appointing someone? Share This!

Background-The Department of Veterans Affairs Randomized On/Off Bypass (ROOBY) trial compared clinical and angiographic outcomes in off-pump versus on-pump coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery to ascertain the relative efficacy of the 2 techniques. Methods and Results-From February 2002 to May 2007, the ROOBY trial randomized 2203 patients to off-pump versus on-pump CABG. Follow-up angiography was obtained in 685 off-pump (62%) and 685 on-pump (62%) patients. Angiograms were analyzed (blinded to treatment) for FitzGibbon classification (A=widely patent, B=flow limited, O=occluded) and effective revascularization. Effective revascularization was defined as follows: All 3 major coronary territories with significant disease were revascularized by a FitzGibbon A-quality graft to the major diseased artery, and there were no new postanastomotic lesions. Off-pump CABG resulted in lower FitzGibbon A patency rates than on-pump CABG for arterial conduits (85.8% versus 91.4%; P=0.003) and saphenous vein grafts (72.7% versus 80.4%; P<0.001). Fewer off-pump patients were effectively revascularized (50.1% versus 63.9% on-pump; P<0.001). Within each major coronary territory, effective revascularization was worse off pump than on pump (all P≤0.001). The 1-year adverse cardiac event rate was 16.4% in patients with ineffective revascularization versus 5.9% in patients with effective revascularization (P<0.001). Conclusions-Off-pump CABG resulted in significantly lower FitzGibbon A patency for arterial and saphenous vein graft conduits and less effective revascularization than on-pump CABG. At 1 year, patients with less effective revascularization had higher adverse event rates. Clinical Trial Registration-URL: http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Purpose. The pharmacology and pharmacokinetics of the antidepressant vilazodone (approved for U.S. marketing in 2011) are reviewed, with an emphasis on efficacy and safety data from Phase III clinical trials. Summary. Vilazodone (marketed as Viibryd by Forest Pharmaceuticals) is a dualacting serotonergic agent that combines the antidepressant effects of a selective serotonin-reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) with partial serotonin (5-HT)1A-receptor agonist activity. In two published eight-week Phase III trials involving a total of 878 adults with major depressive disorder (MDD), vilazodone use was found to yield significant symptomatic improvements relative to placebo use, as determined by mean changes from baseline in scores on the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale and other widely used clinical assessment instruments. Vilazodone hydrochloride therapy should be initiated at a dosage of 10 mg once daily and incrementally adjusted over 14 days to the recommended target daily dose of 40 mg; for optimal bioavailability and effectiveness, it should be taken after a light or high-fat meal. The adverse effects most commonly reported in clinical trials of vilazodone were diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and insomnia. Conclusion. Vilazodone is an efficacious and safe new antidepressant for the treatment of MDD. Its relatively high cost and adverse-effect profile, as well as a lack of data demonstrating that vilazodone can produce long-term MDD remission and offer significant advantages over the current standard of care, may limit the usefulness of vilazodone in clinical practice.

Many drugs, including some commonly used medications, can cause abnormal heart rhythms and sudden death, as manifest by a prolonged QT interval in the electrocardiogram. Cardiac arrhythmias caused by drug-induced long QT syndrome are thought to result mainly from reductions in the delayed rectifier potassium ion (K +) current I Kr. Here, we report a mechanism for drug-induced QT prolongation that involves changes in multiple ion currents caused by a decrease in phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling. Treatment of canine cardiac myocytes with inhibitors of tyrosine kinases or PI3Ks caused an increase in action potential duration that was reversed by intracellular infusion of phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate. The inhibitors decreased the delayed rectifier K + currents I Kr and I Ks, the L-type calcium ion (Ca 2+) current I Ca,L, and the peak sodium ion (Na +) current I Na and increased the persistent Na + current I NaP. Computer modeling of the canine ventricular action potential showed that the drug-induced change in any one current accounted for less than 50% of the increase in action potential duration. Mouse hearts lacking the PI3K p110α catalytic subunit exhibited a prolonged action potential and QT interval that were at least partly a result of an increase in / NaP. These results indicate that down-regulation of PI3K signaling directly or indirectly via tyrosine kinase inhibition prolongs the QT interval by affecting multiple ion channels. This mechanism may explain why some tyrosine kinase inhibitors in clinical use are associated with increased risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.

Autophagy is an evolutionarily conserved membrane trafficking process. Induction of autophagy in response to nutrient limitation or cellular stress occurs by similar mechanisms in organisms from yeast to mammals. Unlike yeast, metazoan cells rely more on growth factor signaling for a wide variety of cellular activities including nutrient uptake. How growth factor availability regulates autophagy is poorly understood. Here we show that, upon growth factor limitation, the p110β catalytic subunit of the class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) dissociates from growth factor receptor complexes and increases its interaction with the small GTPase Rab5. This p110β-Rab5 association maintains Rab5 in its guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-bound state and enhances the Rab5-Vps34 interaction that promotes autophagy. p110β mutants that fail to interact with Rab5 are defective in autophagy promotion. Hence, in mammalian cells, p110β acts as a molecular sensor for growth factor availability and induces autophagy by activating a Rab5-mediated signaling cascade. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

Traditional methods of cancer treatment are limited in their efficacy due to both inherent and acquired factors. Many different studies have shown that the generation of ceramide in response to cytotoxic therapy is generally an important step leading to cell death. Cancer cells employ different methods to both limit ceramide generation and to remove ceramide in order to become resistant to treatment. Furthermore, sphingosine kinase activity, which phosphorylates sphingosine the product of ceramide hydrolysis, has been linked to multidrug resistance, and can act as a strong survival factor. This review will examine several of the most frequently used cancer therapies and their effect on both ceramide generation and the mechanisms employed to remove it. The development and use of inhibitors of sphingosine kinase will be focused upon as an example of how targeting sphingolipid metabolism may provide an effective means to improve treatment response rates and reduce associated treatment toxicity.

BACKGROUND One of 5 nationally funded Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Colorectal Cancer (CRC) Screening Demonstration Programs, Project SCOPE, was conducted at an academic medical center and provided colonoscopy screening at no cost to underserved minority patients from local community health centers. METHODS Established barriers to CRC screening (eg, financial, language, transportation) among the target population were addressed through clinical coordination of care by key project staff. The use of a clinician with a patient navigator allowed for the performance of precolonoscopy "telephone visits" instead of office visits to the gastroenterologist in virtually all patients. The clinician elicited information relevant to making screening decisions (eg, past medical and surgical history, focused review of systems, medication/supplement use, CRC screening history). The patient navigator reduced barriers, including, but not limited to, scheduling, transportation, and physical navigation of the medical center on the day of colonoscopy. RESULTS Preprogram preparation was vital in laying groundwork for the project, yet enhancements to the program were ongoing throughout the screening period. Detailed referral forms from primary care physicians, coupled with information obtained during telephone interviews, facilitated high colonoscopy completion rates and excellent patient satisfaction. Similarly valuable was the employment of a bilingual patient navigator, who provided practical and emotional patient support. CONCLUSIONS Academic medical centers can be efficient models for providing CRC screening to disadvantaged populations. Coordination of care by a preventive medicine department, directing the recruitment, scheduling, prescreening education, and the evaluation and preparation of target populations had an overall positive effect on CRC screening with colonoscopy among patients from a community health center.

NORTHPORT, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center (NVAMC) recently completed the replacement of its cooling towers and related chiller plant systems under a federal contract task order awarded in July to National Grid. ConEdison Solutions, a national energy services company, served as prime contractor to National Grid in completion of the project. While incurring no upfront construction expenses, the medical complex expects to reduce its electricity consumption costs by approximately $90,000 per year, while reaping $1 million per year in savings by eliminating rental costs associated with the use of temporary equipment. The 277-acre medical campus consists of a main hospital building and numerous support buildings, providing a full complement of healthcare services to the area's veteran community. "The Northport Veterans Affairs Medical Center is committed to serving the healthcare needs of Long Island's veterans in a way that delivers the highest quality of care while remaining mindful of the need to invest our resources in an efficient way," said Philip Moschitta, Director. "We are grateful to National Grid and ConEdison Solutions for acting swiftly to deliver a long-term, money-saving solution to our center's cooling and infrastructure needs." "National Grid congratulates the staff at the Northport VA Medical Center. This is the latest in a series of energy savings and environmentally superior projects at the facility. National Grid is proud to have contributed to making this one of the most energy efficient major medical facilities we serve and to have helped substantially lower its carbon footprint and operating costs," said Kiel Costella, Manager, Community and Customer Management for National Grid. "As an experienced energy services company with a long history of supporting federal agencies in energy upgrades, our company was proud to have the opportunity to extend our support to the region's veterans," said Mark Noyes, President and CEO of ConEdison Solutions. "America's veterans deserve the best-possible facilities for medical care, and it was gratifying that our company was able to devise a solution to the VA's cooling and chiller challenges that will both boost the patient environment and the quality of care, while also saving money." Upon completion and formal acceptance of the project by NVAMC management, the installed equipment becomes property of the U.S. government. At that point, the federal government begins paying for the construction and all other construction-related costs using the annual savings generated by the equipment installations and upgrades. The savings take into account the money saved by reduction of energy costs, reduction of operations and maintenance costs and the elimination of costs, such as rental fees. Under the terms of the Federal Utility Energy Services Contract, ConEdison Solutions' duties included design, construction, commissioning and measurement and verification of energy savings associated with replacement of the hospital's cooling towers. In addition to replacing the rooftop towers, ConEdison Solutions also replaced existing vertical risers, four existing condenser water pumps, four existing chilled water pumps, a condenser and chilled water piping connecting the equipment cited above, and a chiller plant controls system. ConEdison Solutions installed equipment with a longer service lifespan that, when paired with an energy-efficient controls system and state of the art engineering design, will improve system performance and overall patient and staff comfort.

Sphingolipids and their metabolizing enzymes are beginning to be recognized as critical mediators in biological processes, specifically in inflammation and autoimmunity. Sphingosine kinases (SKs) and their lipid product sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) play essential roles in inflammatory signaling processes, as well as disease development and progression. SKs can be activated by numerous growth factors and cytokines, including TNF-α and IL-1β, leading to the generation of S1P. S1P exerts its biological effects on intracellular and extracellular targets, such as S1P receptors. In addition to roles in inflammatory signaling pathways SKs, S1P and S1P receptors have been implicated in immune cell function and trafficking, specifically in lymphocytes. This review will discuss the contribution of the bioactive sphingolipid S1P, its generating enzyme SK, and its cell surface receptors in the inflammatory and autoimmune diseases systemic lupus erythematosus, arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. © 2013 Future Medicine Ltd.

Transmission through descending pathways to lumbar motoneurons, although important for voluntary walking in humans and rats, has not been fully understood at the cellular level in contusion models. Major descending pathways innervating lumbar motoneurons include those at corticospinal tract (CST) and ventrolateral funiculus (VLF). We examined transmission and plasticity at synaptic pathways from dorsal (d)CST and VLF to individual motoneurons located in ventral horn and interneurons located in dorsomedial gray matter at lumbar segments after thoracic chronic contusion in adult anesthetized rats. To accomplish this, we used intracellular electrophysiological recordings and performed acute focal spinal lesions during the recordings. We directly demonstrate that after thoracic T10 chronic contusion the disrupted dCST axons spontaneously form new synaptic contacts with individual motoneurons, extending around the contusion cavity, through spared ventrolateral white matter. These detour synaptic connections are very weak, and strengthening these connections in order to improve function may be a target for therapeutic interventions after spinal cord injury (SCI). We found that degradation of scar-related chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans with the enzyme chondroitinase ABC (ChABC) combined with adeno-associated viral (AAV) vector-mediated prolonged delivery of neurotrophin NT-3 (AAV-NT3) strengthened these spontaneously formed connections in contused spinal cord. Moreover, ChABC/ AAV-NT3 treatment induced the appearance of additional detour synaptic pathways innervating dorsomedial interneurons. Improved transmission in ChABC/AAV-NT3-treated animals was associated with increased immunoreactivity of 5-HT-positive fibers in lumbar dorsal and ventral horns. Improved locomotor function assessed with automated CatWalk highlights the physiological significance of these novel connections. © 2013 the American Physiological Society.

Brugada syndrome can lead to lethal cardiac arrhythmias and is often difficult to diagnose because the ECG can be masked. Abnormal STsegment changes in the precordial leads should be recognized and investigated further. A good history of any syncopal episodes as well as a family history of SCD in young family members can be instrumental in helping identify patients at risk. Patients younger than 45 years with symptoms or with a family history of SCD are predictors of poor outcomes. 13 Psychosocial support and referral to an electrophysiologist, as well as genetic counseling, should be considered. © 2012, AACN.
