text: Much to my surprise - My daughter kept all the boys pyjamas, housecoats and boxers since they were babies, then presented them to me, 3 large garbage bags full, when she realized that I was now quilting. I washed them, then proceeded to take them all apart, there were about 60 items. I cut them all into rectangles, squares and whatever pieces I could salvage. These are rough fellows, so had lots of holes and tears to contend with. I made all the boys quilts from this stack of flannel - the grandsons didn't know until I gave them each a quilt and they recognized the materials - they were amazed and delighted, as was I that it worked out with enough for all 3 boys - two of the quilts were the same.

After 17 months of frustration, prosecutors at the UN genocide trial of the former Yugoslav President in The Hague last week unearthed the first direct evidence that he ordered war crimes.
The former secretary to Arkan, Serbia's most feared paramilitary commander, has told the trial of phone calls he received from Milosevic's men giving orders for attacks on unarmed Bosnians. Then details of a secret meeting between Milosevic and his henchmen to approve ethnic cleansing of Croatia's civilian population in 1993 were given by a former casino boss, who said he had served whisky to the warlords in the room.
In another breakthrough, Milosevic's right-hand man, former secret police chief Jovica Stanisic, has been arrested and brought to The Hague. Speculation is rife that he will give evidence against his former boss in return for a lighter sentence.
With evidence now firmly linking Milosevic to murders, rapes, ethnic cleansing and the bombardment of Sarajevo, it is hard to see how he can escape a life sentence.
For prosecutors, the sense of relief is palpable. Since his war crimes trial opened in February last year, they have presented evidence detailing atrocities in Bosnia, Croatia and Kosovo in the 1990s - but none linking these crimes directly to Milosevic.
'You can understand an upbeat feeling in the light of what's happened,' said Richard Goldstone, former Hague chief prosecutor and now head of South Africa's Constitutional Court.
A key part of the breakthrough came as a result of the assassination two months ago of Zoran Djindjic, Serbia's reformist Prime Minister. That shooting was organised by Milosevic loyalists left in place when he was removed from office in elections in October 2000. The apparent coup attempt provoked a round-up of hardline warlords, gangsters and secret policemen. These included Stanisic, and also Milosevic's most trusted military commander, Franko Simatovic, former boss of his praetorian guard, the Red Berets. The round-up also smashed the ring of Milosevic loyalists who had intimidated witnesses.
The breakthrough is just in time. Prosecutors have only two more months to complete their case. Milosevic's trial is now the longest war crimes trial in history.
Despite more than 100 witnesses and thousands of hours of phone intercepts and TV recordings, not a scrap of evidence showed Milosevic ordering crimes that left more than 200,000 dead in the Balkans. A picture emerged of him running his regime like a Mafia don, working through a handful of confidants who were given verbal orders that left no paper trail. 'Nobody gives an order to go and murder somebody and puts it in writing,' Goldstone told The Observer . 'It's all done with nods and winks.'
The trial hit more snags with frequent bouts of sickness from 62-year-old Milosevic, suffering from the strain of refusing to use defence lawyers in a court he does not recognise. Colds, flu and high blood pressure have seen two months of trial time lost.
But many share Milosevic's sense of victimhood, insisting he should not be jailed for the crimes of others. Nothing less than direct evidence is likely to change their minds. Now, it seems, this has arrived. For Bosnian journalist and leading war crimes commentator Emir Suljagic, this evidence means the search is over: 'This isn't the smoking gun. It's a howitzer.'

Nigel Adkins is currently using Artur Boruc as his number one keeper while Brian McDermott decided to give young stopper Alex McCarthy a significant run in the first team. Should Adkins have opted for youth with Paolo Gazzaniga?
The promoted sides from last season all came up with degrees of optimism based on the success of Norwich, Swansea and QPR. The two teams who finished in the automatic spots were the most optimistic of the three as Southampton and Reading considered it possible to carry their magnificent form into the Premier League and secure safety. While play-off winners West Ham United have taken to life back in the big time with consummate ease the two clubs from south of London have found it all a torrid experience.
Reading are still searching for their first Premier League victory and despite Southampton running the Manchester clubs close and dealing out a hammering to Aston Villa their attacking positivity is only rivalled by their defensive naivety. At the moment they would both appear to be safe relegation bets.
One of the most testing issues for all three promoted clubs has been the position of goalkeeper. West Ham lost Robert Green to QPR but brought in Jussi Jaaskelainen from Bolton Wanderers and Stephen Henderson of Portsmouth to good effect.
Reading suffered a similar issue when the form of last year's heroic stopper Adam Federici completely deserted him. Mistakes in his first few games of the season and it appeared that the bulky Australian was considered redundant for the time being. Letting in seven goals against Arsenal on his return could not have done him any favours.
Their situation is mirrored at Southampton where last season's stalwart Kelvin Davis struggled to readapt to life in the Premier League. His defence of his near-post, the golden rule in goalkeeping, was terrible and Premier League strikers were feasting on his poor form.
It left both Brian McDermott and Nigel Adkins in a huge dilemma, who do we replace them with?
Adkins at first went with young stopper Paolo Gazzaniga, who despite the odd iffy moment seemed to do himself justice between the sticks. His shot stopping was exemplary and his distribution bordering on world-class. McDermott also went with youth as Alex McCarthy was given the jersey as an immediate replacement for 'Fedders'. Again he had his off moments, as is to be expected by a young goalkeeper thrust into Premier League action, but in the long term it now seems the correct decision; his man-of-the-match performance against QPR on Sunday was proof in the pudding.
They could have turned to the more experienced former Arsenal keeper Stuart Taylor but figured giving a real chance to a potential long term option as a better contingency to deal with their number one goalkeeper issue. Southampton on the other hand signed Artur Boruc.
At Celtic he was undoubtedly a class operator however just to look at him you can see his best days are behind him. He appears sluggish, off the boil and disinterested in the job. He also brings controversy, reports he threw a water bottle at home fans have not helped his cause.
With all that in mind has Adkins made a mistake with the signing of Boruc? Surely his better option would have been to give Gazzaniga, a very talented Argentine who started his career with Valencia, a serious run-out in the first team.
Boruc needs to improve very quickly if he is to be continued in his number one slot. At the moment Southampton can simply not afford to have a half-hearted stopper defending a goal facing a barrage of shots.
It could be the hindsight at the end of relegation for The Saints come May.
Should Paolo Gazzaniga be given a more prolonged chance in the first-team?

Neuromelanin Activates Microglia and Induces Degeneration of Dopaminergic Neurons: Implications for Progression of Parkinson's Disease
- 601 Downloads
- Citations
In Parkinson's disease (PD), there is a progressive loss of neuromelanin (NM)-containing dopamine neurons in substantia nigra (SN) which is associated with microgliosis and presence of extracellular NM. Herein, we have investigated the interplay between microglia and human NM on the degeneration of SN dopaminergic neurons. Although NM particles are phagocytized and degraded by microglia within minutes in vitro, extracellular NM particles induce microglial activation and ensuing production of superoxide, nitric oxide, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and pro-inflammatory factors. Furthermore, NM produces, in a microglia-depended manner, neurodegeneration in primary ventral midbrain cultures. Neurodegeneration was effectively attenuated with microglia derived from mice deficient in macrophage antigen complex-1, a microglial integrin receptor involved in the initiation of phagocytosis. Neuronal loss was also attenuated with microglia derived from mice deficient in phagocytic oxidase, a subunit of NADPH oxidase, that is responsible for superoxide and H2O2 production, or apocynin, an NADPH oxidase inhibitor. In vivo, NM injected into rat SN produces microgliosis and a loss of tyrosine hydroxylase neurons. Thus, these results show that extracellular NM can activate microglia, which in turn may induce dopaminergic neurodegeneration in PD. Our study may have far-reaching implications, both pathogenic and therapeutic.

Paulownia is extremely fast growing; up to 20 feet in one year when young. Some species of plantation Paulownia can be harvested for saw timber in as little as five years. Once the trees are harvested, they regenerate from their existing root systems, earning them the name of the "Phoenix tree." Paulownia has the ability to reclaim ecologically stressed and degenerate patches of land relatively quickly.
Recently, Paulownia has received a great deal of interest for its environmental properties and has been put forward as a potential solution to the global deforestation problem which lies at the heart of the climate change debate. It is being used as a reforestation tree in several countries, including Australia, Germany, China, the USA and Panama.

Hundreds of gallons of hydraulic fluid were released into the Ohio River after a turbine failure at the New Martinsville hydroelectric plant on Thursday.
The incident occurred at the plant's location by the Hannibal Lock and Dam shortly after 7 p.m. According to officials, booms were used to contain the material.
As of Friday morning, officials said most of the spill had been contained, however, it was not clear how much of the fluid got into the river. Officials said the maximum possible spillage amount was 1,000 gallons.
The plant consists of two turbines, and one of those was already down for maintenance. It's expected to be another four weeks before it is operational.
The spill was reported through the National Response Center. ORSANCO was notified as was the Department of Health and Human Resources. The Army Corps of Engineers is also involved since it operates the lock and dam.
A local volunteer fire department was also on site Thursday night helping with the cleanup.

Gloucester staged a last-gasp 31-29 away victory over Harlequins yesterday to set up a LV Cup semi-final against Cardiff Blues. With the last kick of the game their fly-half Tim Taylor converted Gloucester's fifth try scored by the full-back Tom Voyce. The bonus point win enabled Bryan Redpath's side to edge out Scarlets at the top of Pool Two.
Redpath praised the resilience of his much changed side who had trailed 20-0 after 25 minutes. First-half tries by James Simpson-Daniel and Taylor put Gloucester back in the hunt before they turned the game around with a second from Simpson-Daniel before their centre Tim Molenaar and then Voyce touched down in a dramatic last five minutes.
It left the former All Blacks fly-half Nick Evans on the losing side despite his 24-point haul, including two excellent first-half tries, for Harlequins.
Both sides were depleted by international calls and Redpath admitted: "It showed. But we came back and showed great resilience and commitment to win the game and give ourselves a bit of credit back."
Harlequins had needed an 11-try win to overhaul Cardiff Blues, the Pool Three leaders who gained a bonus point win over Scarlets on Saturday. John Kingston, the Harlequins head coach, said: "We lost the iron grip we had on the game just before half-time with the two soft tries."
The two sides meet again at Kingsholm on Saturday in the Premiership, now Quins' only route to qualification for next season's Heineken Cup. Gloucester's LV Cup semi-final at Cardiff will be on Sunday 14 March.
On the same day Saracens will play their LV Cup semi-final against Northampton at Franklin's Gardens.
Despite losing 23-22 to Newport Gwent Dragons yesterday, the complex regulations of the competition mean that Saracens go through to play Saints. Had they beaten the Dragons, Saracens would have faced Cardiff away.
Brendan Venter, the Saracens rugby director, warned his players they will not win the Premiership if they make the kind of mistakes he sat through at Vicarage Road.
Venter said: "We will not win the Premiership if we play like that and I have told the players it's important that we learn from this experience. If we want to be the best in the league we have to eradicate those mistakes. There was no lack of effort out there, it was just that Newport adapted better to the conditions."
The man of the match was the Dragons wing Will Harries, who scored two excellent tries, the first a superb solo effort on 15 minutes. Harries said: "I'm delighted with my tries and what a fine effort we all put in. The only shame is that we were not going for the semi-final as well."
The Newcastle director of rugby, Steve Bates, defended his decision to give his squad fringe players plenty of game time in the LV Cup after the Falcons failed to register a win in any of their four pool games.
Three penalties from the former Falcon David Walder, captaining Wasps for the first time, sent Newcastle tumbling to a 9-3 defeat at Kingston Park. It was an error-strewn game in which all but two of the 16 players on the respective benches were used.
Bates said: "The four weeks of this competition were all about giving some players a run and others a rest and that's worked. Some of our younger players have put their hands up and some of our fringe players have been given valuable game time."
Newcastle were already out of contention for the semi-finals after last weekend's defeat at Cardiff, while Wasps' chance of qualifying disappeared after Saturday's results.
Some big names were missing for the visitors because of Six Nations and England Saxons duty. There was also no sign of Danny Cipriani, who has been linked with a move to the new Australia Super 15 side Melbourne Tigers, although it is being suggested that he will sign a new deal with Wasps this coming week.
Tony Hanks, the Wasps director of rugby, refused to discuss the Cipriani situation, preferring to concentrate on his side's performance on the pitch. "The players out there deserve that," he said. "They did a great job today and it was hard to get any pace going on that pitch and in the conditions but we won it in the end."

Shortly after the Houston Astros drafted Cathedral Catholic's Brady Aiken with the No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft, making him the first prep pitcher to leave the board first in 23 years, General Manager Jeff Luhnow gushed about his prized pick.
"This is the most advanced high school pitcher I've ever seen in my entire career," Luhnow told the Houston Chronicle.
"He has command like I've never seen before. The reason he was (ranked) so high last year was because of his command and pitchability, and then his stuff took a tick up as he came into this year, and that's when he just exploded."
A left-hander, the 17-year old struck out 10 batters in seven innings to capture the championship for Team USA in a 3-2 victory over Japan in Taiwan last September and capped his senior season 7-0 with a 1.06 ERA and 111 strike outs in 59.2 innings.
"He struck out almost two batters an inning in his high school season, so he's very dominant at the high school level," Astros scouting director Mike Elias told the Houston Chronicle.
"If you're asking in terms of stuff, he's got plus stuff and it's stuff that can develop into overpowering stuff at the major league level. But he's left-handed. He doesn't throw 100 (mph), but he has a plus arsenal that I think is going to strike out hitters at this level, and contend to be one of the best pitchers in this league.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound UCLA commit throws a 92-93 mph fastball that touches 97 along with a dipping curveball and changeup.
"I started throwing the cutter a little bit but then I decided to lay off because of all the arm injuries that are happening," Aiken said.
"My game is around going after the hitter, being aggressive and commanding the plate and commanding all my pitches."
The last prep pitcher drafted first overall was Brien Taylor, who went to the New York Yankees. Sustaining a shoulder injury in an off-the-field altercation, Taylor never advanced past Double-A.
"We feel in the category of high school pitchers, this is about as safe a player as you can have," Luhnow said. "Because he's got the polish, he's got the stuff, he's got the command, he has the delivery we like, he's got the makeup, he's got the size. It's really hard to poke any holes in this player at all, except for the fact that he's young, and we really didn't want to hold that against him."

Great winder
Dont waste your money on bargain winders. This seems like a simple device but you get what you pay for. Very quiet. Great winderRead More
Wise Investment
Have had this watch winder for 2 months. Works very well and motor does NOT make any noise whatsoever. Has a green blinking light that lets you know it is working even though it may not be turning the watch. While the cuff holder is oversize to accommodate a long band man's watch, I use it for a woman's watch. The cuff holder compresses to accommodate any size watch. For a smaller band watch, like a woman's, you have to squeeze it more to place and secure the watch on it. Based on everything I have read about cheaper watch winders not holding up over the long-term, I think this is a wise investment in a quality product that will last a long time.Read More

Very nice watch winder for the price at Overstock!
Order arrived on time. Packaging was very well done and very well protected. This "Wolf Heritage Single Winder" exceeded my expectations by a substantial margin. Leather finished, incorporates a battery compartment for traveling, has an LED indicator showing the status of the winder and the front mounted rotary dial settings are functional and very good looking. It's a centerpiece of its own not to mention the watch you place in it. This watch mount is very well made, Not some flimsy "C" shaped piece of springy plastic that allows the watch to slide off in time. It's a solid mount that slides into its holder and snaps in. Front face is glass and easily opens down. Watch and its winder mount slides out easily using finger compression- of easy to compress tabs. No fumbling with releasing the watch while in the winder. Motor noise is zero. The LED status light is not bothersome in a blacked out room. The flash is low intensity and extremely fast. No reflections off walls, ceiling, windows elsewhere in a room. This winder is the product of skilled workmen.Read More
Not sure it works properly.
Detailed instructions not provided. I am not sure if it is working properly. I seldom see it moving. The green light indicating it is powered up is always flashing but 8 times out of 10 that i happen to be looking, the device is not moving the watch. I searched for tech support online for Wolf products but i was unable to get a number to contact the company.Read More

The Wage Elasticity of Informal Care Supply: Evidence from the Health and Retirement Study
This paper focuses on the relationship between wages and supply of informal care to elderly parents. Unlike most of the previous research estimating wage elasticities of informal care supply, this study employs instrumental variable technique to account for the fact that the wage rate is likely to be correlated with omitted variables. Based on the data from the 1998 wave of the Health and Retirement Study, the results show that the wage elasticity of informal care supply is negative and larger in magnitude than has been found previously. The lower bound of this elasticity is estimated to be -1.8 for males and -3.6 for females. Additional findings suggest that the wage elasticity of informal care supply di ers by the type of care provided to elderly parents, and that it is larger in magnitude among individuals with siblings and those with independently living parents. The analysis also indicates that the reductions in the informal care constitute about 18% of the labor supply response for men and about 56% of the labor supply response for women, which are not compensated by monetary transfers.
