Two women were killed Saturday after their car struck a tree head-on, State Police said.
Ellen Rann, 70, was driving north at 12:35 p.m. on Interstate 684 in Lewisboro when she veered off road, crossing the right lane and shoulder to the grassy area on the side of the highway where she struck a tree, cops said.
Rann, of Queens, was pronounced dead at the scene when paramedics arrived. Her passenger, a 57-year-old woman from Manhattan, was brought to Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, where she later died from her injuries.
Cops didn't release the identity of the second victim because they hadn't yet reached her family as of late Saturday afternoon.
Police didn't know where the two women were heading, and they said they weren't sure why Rann lost control of her 2010 Honda Civic. They didn't say if other cars were involved in the crash.
Police reopened Interstate 684 on Saturday afternoon after an accident investigation, but the northbound side of the highway was closed again a short time later after a crash in the Katonah-Cross River area near Exit 6. There were no serious injuries reported in the second crash.

Twin Cities ephemera: After a full week of much-above-normal temperatures, rain and slushy snow, the temperature has dropped to an appropriate degree and skies have cleared this evening to reveal a bright even-half Moon.
Alas, the gloom has failed to inspire me photographically–in the sense of motivating me to get self with camera outdoors. So I have contented myself with leafing through the oversize book of sumptuous photographs of ominous storms by Mitch Dobrowner.
The view out the front shows the deep leaf mulch under the birch and spruce trees, and among the canes of black raspberry. With no snow cover–still, amazingly and alarmingly, in mid-December–the contrast with all the neighbors' yards of green grass and neatly-edged hostas is striking.
I feel exposed, yet also purposeful, in allowing a more natural state to evolve. And I feel a bit of satisfaction, and personal sense of harmony, in knowing I have not done some things in accordance with an agreement little noted or remembered within my neighborhood: the Universal Declaration of the Rights of Mother Earth.
That's right: NOT doing. A greater degree of harmony and attunement seems more a matter of not doing than doing.
(There is one bit of doing–or, more accurately: observing–that I did advocate at a small gathering last weekend that was billed as "embodied astrology"–not so much experiential as presentational. When the presenter began referring to the current planetary configuration, there was an immediate buzz about apps that would show that on their gizmos; I countered with the notion of cultivating a direct relationship with the planets in the sky. "There's been a remarkable grouping of Venus, Mars and Jupiter in the predawn sky this fall." Pointing toward the southwest during this late-afternoon event, I said: "The Sun is in Sagittarius and [through the cloud cover] it's right about there, and the Moon in Capricorn is about there." But it didn't seem likely that anyone was about to be any less dependent on their small screens for a sense of where the planets are.(I seem to be sounding a bit like the late Doug Tompkins here.))
The bare ground here promotes contemplation of the stages of the experiment I've been conducting over the past decade plus.
There was a "gliding" period when this spot was essentially no different from all the others within sight and walking: a spot with grass wanting mowing, some shade trees, and a few pretty perennials (what I now think of as "perfunctory plantings"). There was no vision guiding action–or inaction.
The back yard was dominated by a huge elm tree, one so contorted that when I first saw it, bare in late fall, I didn't recognize it as an elm. Though its summer shade was not dense, its bulk dominated the vicinity.
So I enjoyed its shade over the deck, and dutifully mowed around it. I was never inclined to bag up the leaves in the fall–it seemed a preposterous practice–so I simply ran the mower through the leaves, returning the organic matter to the soil.
Unknowingly, I had taken my first step toward a natural way of building–or at least maintaining–soil and assisting the growing of healthy vegetation. I was not yet thinking of growing anything to eat.
Once that was one object, I put a lot of effort into it: setting up a big compost bin and collecting leaves from around the neighborhood, constructing a raised bed, turning over the soil (but not roto-tilling), digging trenches along the periphery and practicing my own form of "hugelkultur": burying small and medium-sized branches from a silver maple tree that I had mistakenly allowed to get big.
It was a lot of work. But as I put in and nurtured fruit trees, began an herb garden and cultivated vegetables, I also let a lot of volunteer plants just be–at least until they began to reveal their natures and intentions. Eradicating what was not consciously desired seemed senseless. Besides, I wanted to see what this bit of land wanted to be.
So, it comes to this: observing, (at first) facilitating, noticing but declining to act on impulses to control what happens–and eventually, trusting.
And that is essentially what Masanobu Fukuoka, over decades in the mid-twentieth century, learned and taught.
Who, you say? Well, his was a big name in the late 1970s and into the '80s, when the first shocks of petroleum availability and affordability rattled the industrialized economies and fueled the nascent back-to-the-land and appropriate technology movements. In 1978, his book The One-Straw Revolution was published, detailing his experience with what he termed natural farming.
Now a new book on his life and philosophy has been published, one which usefully compares Fukuoka's practices with those of indigenous ways, traditional Japanese agriculture (which sustained those islands through centuries of isolation), organic farming and design-intensive permaculture.
For anyone questioning the future or the basis of agriculture, it offers much food for thought. For now, I'll merely leave you with the four principles of natural farming: no tilling, no herbicides or pesticides, no weeding, and no chemical fertilizers or prepared compost.
Yep, it's radical, and "radical" means going to the root.
As for Masanobu Fukuoka's roots in his life pattern, his astrological chart originates on 2 February 1913 at Matsuyama on the fourth-largest Japanese island, Shikoku, facing the Inland Sea. He was raised in a small village where his ancestral family had lived for hundreds of years, and where, as a youth, he worked in the fields and citrus orchard of his family's farm.
But, like much of Japanese society of the time, he initially got caught up in the process of industrialization: He enrolled in an agricultural college, specializing in plant pathology. He studied the diseases and insect pests found on imported produce. In a way, perhaps he was preparing to study and critique the industrial disease then being imported nearly without question: a disease that led Japan into an imperial era that resulted in utter ruin as it sought to secure overseas resources.
Several years into his career, he contracted acute pneumonia and nearly died. Early in the period of his "new life" he experienced a revelation which informed everything that followed. Dozing at dawn against a tree trunk above the busy port of Yokohama, he saw "the eternal form of nature." The date was 15 Maya 1937: Fukuoka was twenty-four years old.
Knowing that the thrust of his life was to question and move counter to the then-established pattern of his society, Aquarius as rising zoidion seems a reasonable supposition. And his natal Sun, Mercury and Uranus in that zoidion added vital force and intellectual energy to his personality.
(I suspect that Fukuoka's nature was diurnal, guided by the predominating significance of the Sun above the horizon, guided furthermore by the meanings and experiences represented by the in-sect planets Jupiter and Saturn.)
Next to consider is the placement of Saturn, planetary lord of Aquarius within the systems of traditional and Hellenistic astrology. Appropriately, Saturn was in Taurus–earthiest of the earth zoidia–and within the fourth sector of the chart, relating to land and heritage. Saturn represents the organic sensibility, and gradual and patient approach to life, that enabled him to recognize the natural principles he embraced.
Jupiter is in Capricorn, where Saturn is lord (as well as in Aquarius), and in the twelfth chart sector–symbolizing his capacity to recognize the limitations of the economic growth model that his culture was embracing.
The cultural factors–the overshoot of the base of natural resources and the productive capabilities of the traditional system of small landholdings–were central to his understanding and philosophy.
As for the moment when he "saw the light," it seems Fukuoka was under a barrage of major, once-in-a-lifetime combination of planetary energies: Jupiter, after the second return to its natal position, was in late Capricorn and exactly opposite Pluto, with both planets having lately aligned with natal Neptune. This combination symbolized the arrival of a guiding vision from out of the depths of serious illness. And appropriately, as the Sun was upon the horizon as he lay under his variety of bodhi tree that morning, the Moon–that mysterious orb that sometimes acts to translate the currents of the collective unconscious into images recognizable to personal consciousness–was exactly on the zodiacal place of natal Neptune and closing in on the axis of Jupiter-Pluto.
The insight and experimental practices and observation that followed would show a path for, eventually, burgeoning numbers of individuals to tread. It would take many decades–many centuries, really–for nature, with some human assistance, to rectify the damage wrought by the ignorance of the industrial mindset, itself rooted in the conceits of control that have characterized agriculture since earliest recorded time.
Let Earth be reborn.
[ In examining the birthcharts of individuals, I follow the traditional and Hellenistic astrological practices that emphasize the dichotomy of diurnality / nocturnality, the luminaries of Sun and Moon, and the visible planets. I do not study the placements of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto: recognized only in the modern era. I include the latter here because they have relevant significance to a frame of reference far beyond the individual. ]

Balancing Work and Family
University of Phoenix
Balancing Work and Family
An industrial-organizational psychologist has several factors to consider when designing an intervention for Kathy Kudler. Ms. Kudler has several events and situations occurring in her life that are causing her to experience burnout in both her work and family life. To ensure her emotional well-being the intervention must help her balance work, her children, her mother, and her fiancé. Ms. Kudler is currently experiencing difficulties balancing her time and the quality of the time she spends with work and her personal life. The following three interventions could help Ms. Kudler cope with her situation better.
Family Friendly Policies
Because Ms. Kudler is the boss she can and should become more flexible about her work schedule. She can arrive at work later in the day and leave earlier, and allow management employees to handle her tasks in her absence. The establishment of family friendly policies (FFPs) will help her and her employees (Rupashree & Shivganesh, 2010). Employees would be more likely to be flexible with their schedules to accommodate her if they know the same will be done for them if they need the same considerations. A FFP would also increase morale of her employees, which would reduce the stress she experiences at work.
Another way to improve flexibility is to telecommute as frequently as possible. Many times people physically attend work when it is not necessary. Many of the billing, scheduling, and ordering tasks can occur via computer from any location. Some of the other tasks that require physical presence could likely occur at the hands of other employees. Telecommuting is an excellent way to work around her children's schedules, and the demands that the treatment of her mother's cancer will put on her time.
The benefits of this type of intervention are that Ms. Kudler will have more time to spend with her children, mother, and...

Living Situation
Do you currently live in a place that's suitable for children? If you're in a one bedroom apartment or a place where you have to climb loads of stairs to access, it's going to be best to move. This is a huge expense within itself, not just due to moving costs but because you'll likely need to upgrade to a larger place. You will probably want a nice area with good local parks and schools, and a back garden for your child to play in when they get a little older. A nice, stable home where you can put down roots with your family is so important, so this is a cost you will need to consider. You might need to sell up, or search for a new rented property depending on your current situation- so work these fees into your budget. As well as a new home you might even need a new car too. Lots of people change to more family friendly car models when they have a baby, ideally you need something big enough with five doors so you can get your child in and out of their car seat.
Work, Maternity Pay and Shared Parental Leave
One of the big questions after having a baby is deciding how much time to take off work. While many new parents would love to have as much time as possible to look after their new arrival, your financial situation might mean that you both need to return to work fairly soon after having a baby. It's the law that a birth mother takes a minimum of two weeks maternity leave after having a baby (four weeks for factory workers). However did you know that the remaining fifty weeks you have can be shared between you and your partner? This means childcare can be split, you can return to work earlier if you want to and they can stay at home with the baby for longer if they want to. There are of course some rules and restrictions surrounding this, but you could find out more here if it's something that would benefit you.
Childcare Costs
Once your maternity or parental leave is over, the big issue to consider is childcare. If you're lucky enough to have family members willing to help then this will make life much easier. If not, start looking into childcare options early on to work out what's best for you. As well as the cost of the care itself, you will need to factor in time and money for transport/ fuel there and back so it's a big decision. Depending on where you live you may be entitled to some free childcare or free early education for your child, so make sure you find out what's available to you. In the UK, many working parents of three and four year olds are eligible for thirty hours of free childcare a week (was previously fifteen), for thirty eight weeks of the year. If you're entitled to the childcare part of working tax credits, this can cover up to seventy percent of your childcare costs too which is a massive help. Some employers even have workplace nurseries, they may be free or paid for but either way are a tax free perk of the job.
Benefits and Extra Help
As well as benefits to cover childcare, most people in the UK are entitled to child benefit. For the eldest (or only child) you get roughly £20 a week, and for additional children you get around £14. While it's not a huge sum of money, it's a little extra help that's there if you need it and can be worked into your baby budget. If you're out of work when you have your baby, you may be entitled to income support until your child is five if you're a lone parent. Exactly what you can get depends on a variety of things, your midwife should discuss all of this with you at your appointments during pregnancy.
Saving Money
If you're planning to have a baby, getting some savings behind you and putting money away before getting pregnant makes the most sense. You could start a savings account, and transfer a portion of your wages into it every week. You could sell items you're no longer using, or start a second job from home to earn a little extra cash. Blogging, design work, an Etsy shop can all bring in some money if you have the right skills. Paying down debts so you're in the best financial position possible is also a good idea if you're in a position where you can do that. That way you at least have the cash to make the purchases below up front.
Buying Baby Items
There are a few large purchases you need to make when you're having a baby. A cot and nursery furniture, a pram and a car seat to name a few. Then you need clothes, baby products, toys and everything else that comes along with a baby. Write a list and set a budget and then work from there. If friends and family offer to help, you can show them the list so they know exactly what you need. It also means that you don't accidentally buy items repeatedly and waste money and it's far easier to keep on track.

I hope someone can help me with my concerns about my feeding tube as I don't want to be the type of patient who calls their doctor with a million questions everyday :)
I had a feeding tube put in on Tuesday, June 9th and everything seemed fine. Yesterday while I was doing my daily cleaning of the tube and stoma (sp?) I noticed the left side looks like it is tilted up higher than the right side and I have a rash (slightly red raised bumps) on the left side also. If I gently push on the left side it is a little tender, almost as if the tube is pushing on something. When I rotate the tube daily (as instructed) there is no pain but when I bend over there is an uncomfortable feeling on the left side.
Could this mean the tube on the inside has dislodged itself? Is the rash a sign of infection? I am not running a fever and feel fine other than what I mentioned above. The "wound" where the tube was inserted looks fine and does not hurt and I am following all of the instructions in the care booklet I was provided after having this procedure done. I have not started using the tube yet but I do have some "stuff" looks like liquid that has come into the tube from my stomach and I'm afraid it will either clog the tube or cause an infection.
If anyone has had this happen to them I would love to hear from you, I just don't know if these are things I should be worrying about and don't want any of this to delay the start of my treatment on the 23rd.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
Jun 14, 2009 - 9:37 pm
I would call your doctor and explain everything. We have only seen the chemo doctor once and he even gave me his pager number to call if we had any concerns at all. You are your own advocate and need to get some answers. Don't be afraid that you are calling too often because this is very important. You need to call tomorrow morning. It doesn't seem right so you should ease your mind and call.
My husband starts chemo June 24th. He had a port put in last week and I hope he will get a tube. He will be having radiation on his neck.....which will cover both sides of the neck and in his mouth too. We are not sure when he will start radiation.....maybe that same week. He will get his mask on the 18th.
Anyway good luck and let us know what the doctor says,
Jun 17, 2009 - 6:22 am
Hi Penny,
I saw the doctor who put the feeding tube in yesterday and feel much better now. A visiting nurse came out 2 days after I had the procedure and she was supposed to give me syringes for flushing the tube and go over any concerns and questions I might have. She didn't do any of these and I was not pleased with the visit at all. The doctor went over everything with me and said he could understand my concerns and frustrations as I was basically left in the dark about what to watch for and how to care for my tube. He was very patient and went over everything with me, he also gave me the syringes I need and flushed the tube out for me as it had become clogged - and I'm not even using it yet.
He really wasn't sure about the rash, he thinks it may have been caused by the saran wrap I was told to put over my feeding tube when I showered for the first couple of days. He also said I shouldn't worry about it and it wasn't necessary to put anything on it as it should clear up by itself in a few days.
Thanks for the advice and I hope your husband does well with having his mask made tomorrow. Tell him to relax, I've had mine made already and it really was not the terrifying experience I thought it would be. I don't think my way of getting through it will help your husband though - LOL. I pretended I was having an expensive facial in an exotic spa - a good imagination helps :)
Take care and I'm hoping all goes well with your husbands upcoming treatments. I will be starting mine the day before he does so if our treatments are anything alike maybe we can help each other through the rough days. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.
Jun 20, 2009 - 2:07 pm
Hi Glenna,
I am glad you got your concerns taken care of. I thought the reason for the visiting nurse was to help you with the feeding tube. Glad you went to the doctor.
My husband went to get the mask fitted on Thursday. They even told him he would get a call on Friday to schedule radiation for Monday. I thought that was a little quick. We did not get that call. We were both a little surprised because we were told it could take up to a week after the mask is made to start radiation.
That would be nice if you and my husband could help each other through this. He hasn't visited this site.....maybe because he is so nervous about it all. If he doesn't go on this website, I will still communicate with you. It always helps when there is someone else going through the same thing.
What kind of Chemo will you be getting? And when did you say radiation starts?
I'm not sure if he will be getting a feeding tube or not. One doctor said he would, the radiation doctor said maybe not even though his mouth will be like hamburger and hard to swallow. I am very happy with the doctors, except I wonder why one doc was for a feeding tube and the other wasn't. I guess we will have to wait and see and in the mean time, I hope my husband doesn't lose too much weight. I have been trying to fatten him up, but he lost weight when he had his radical neck dissection and isn't back up to that weight yet.
Take care and and God Bless,
Jun 20, 2009 - 2:52 pm
Hi Penny,
The doctor and I both agree that the visiting nurse was supposed to go over all of the cleaning and flushing procedures with me but she didn't bring anything with her (don't know why she bothered to come). I feel much better having had the doctor check it and show me how to flush it twice daily.
I'm still a little confused on how they decide who needs a feeding tube also. I don't know if it depends on where the radiation site is or whether they expect the patient to have difficulty swallowing. Because of the size and location of the tumor on my larynx I have already been experiencing some difficulty and pain when swallowing. I still eat and drink everything by mouth, the tube is a precaution in case I lose this ability after starting treatments. I have been drinking 2 or 3 bottles of Ensure everyday and it has helped me put on a couple of pounds - the milk chocolate isn't too bad.
I start chemo (cisplatin) and radiation on the 23rd, I have chemo and radiation again on the 24th. After that it will be just radiation each day until my next round of chemo which is supposed to be in 3 week cycles. It seems like it took forever for my treatment date to get here but now that it is only 3 days away I wish I had more time - LOL. I guess no one is ever really ready to go through this.
Please tell your husband to stay strong and visit these discussion boards if he can. Most of the postings on here are positive and they have helped me through a lot of my down times. Reading how other people coped with their treatments and to know they are doing better now has been a great help to me.
I would be more than happy to help you and your husband get through this in any way that I can. Maybe we can compare notes on side effects from the treatments and help encourage each other. You can post on the discussion boards or send me a private message on this website anytime you need someone to talk to. I know the importance of having someone to talk to you and will be here for you if you ever need me.
Take care and God Bless you,
Jun 20, 2009 - 7:25 pm
I had a tube for almost a year. Occasionally, there would be painful swelling or other problems and I would call the gastrointerologist who always would see me, or send me to someone who could check it out. You should never, ever feel hesitant about calling your doctor. Do not ignore the list I'm sure you got of "when to call." The tube wasn't fun, but after a while, it was just part of me - and getting it out is a milestone to look forward to!
I had the Cisplatin and other chemos. I wish you the best. I've been in complete remission for just over a year. Good luck and remember what your goal is.

Hi Glenna,
I can't believe the visiting nurse didn't go over everything with. But at least your doctor took care of all your concerns.
I bought my husband Ensure too and he has been drinking it too. He is trying to gain back the weight he lost from his neck dissection on May 20.
My husband will start chemo June 24 and then once a week for 6 weeks. He will be have radiation 5 days a week starting sometime this week for 7 weeks. He had his mask made on Thursday, June 18.
If he doesn't get on this website, maybe you and I can keep up the communication. I know how important it is to have someone to talk to about this. It really helps to hear how everyone copes with the different side effects.Thanks for all your words of encouragement and support.

Picture: Pete Doherty leaves his house to go to the shops looking tired and withdrawn after playing in yesterdays Soccer Six event. Pete was still wearing...
Troubled singer Pete Doherty has vowed to return to rehab in a bid to win back his ex-lover Kate Moss, who ditched him when he abandoned the treatment she paid for.
The crack addict rock star quit the Meadows clinic in Arizona - where Moss kicked her own cocaine habit - last Monday (28NOV05) after just nine days of treatment.
But despite branding rehab "rubbish", he is determined to resume the therapy to rekindle his romance with the supermodel.
He says, "She's furious with me for leaving rehab - and that's understandable. But I will go back in. I've promised her.
"I don't know how Kate managed to get off the cocaine because I thought the clinic was a load of rubbish.
"When I went there it felt like a prison. It was a waste of time in the middle of the desert.
"But if it means being with Kate, I will go back there. I swear we will get back together."

Distinguished philosopher Hilary Putnam, who is also a practicing Jew, questions the thought of three major Jewish philosophers of the 20th century Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, and Emmanuel Levinas to help him reconcile the philosophical and religious sides of his life. An additional presence in the book is Ludwig Wittgenstein, who, although not a practicing Jew, thought about religion in ways that Putnam juxtaposes to the views of Rosenzweig, Buber, and Levinas. Putnam explains the leading ideas of each of these great thinkers, bringing out what, in his opinion, constitutes the decisive intellectual and spiritual contributions of each of them. Although the religion discussed is Judaism, the depth and originality of these philosophers, as incisively interpreted by Putnam, make their thought nothing less than a guide to life.
In yoking Jewish thought to his efforts to give philosophy a human face, and in giving us glimpses of three men who helped shape a vibrant and beautiful form of Jewish thought, Hilary Putnam - to his profit, and to ours - has sided with Isaiah.

Have a question about the days when PA was still around with their hub in FRA. Unfortunately I am just a little too young to remember anything about that.
When PA had their hub in FRA, did the fly out of one terminal all the time. From what I understand, their operations were quite large, so did they for example get the entire terminal C for themselves or maybe one of the "B-heads" in Terminal B?

What kind of aircraft did PA have stationed in FRA, and how many? Did they also have long-haul aircraft stationed, or did they just rotate throughout the PA network?
Thanks for any information anyone can provide!

Metabolomische und ökologische Untersuchung der Allelopathie von Mikroalgen des marinen Planktons
Abstract: Microalgae of the marine plankton are known to chemically interact with surrounding organisms in their ecological environment. One example for such an interaction is the communication...
... via allelochemicals. Allelopathy is an ecological concept, with which organisms are able to influence the growth, survival and reproductive success of coexisting organisms of a different species both positively and negatively. Allelopathy thus plays an important role in shaping the dynamics of planktonic communities. Therefore it is of great interest to investigate these interactions in the ecological context and to identify the involved infochemicals. As recent research has been mainly focused on the negative effects of allelopathy, this project aims on characterizing the positive allelopathic effects. Allelochemicals will be identified via modern metabolomic techniques in combination with 13C isotope labeling of organisms and traditional bioassay-guided structure elucidation coupled with analytical structure elucidation. In order to evaluate the findings in the ecological context, mesocosm experiments will be conducted.

Mechanisms of Candida albicans colonization and translocation
Abstract: The opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a common member of the normal microbiota of humans colonizing mucosal surfaces, especially the gastrointestinal tract. However, as...
... an opportunistic pathogen, C. albicans can disseminate from the intestine and cause disseminated life-threatening diseases if the gastrointestinal balance is disturbed, e. g. by antibiotic treatment, disruption of epithelial barrier function or immunosuppression. One predisposing factor for disseminated candidiasis is major surgery. During prolonged surgery, general anesthesia induces centralization of blood flow, leading to mesenteric ischemia. Mesenteric ischemia results in local hypoxia of intestinal epithelia which leads to a damaged gastrointestinal barrier. We therefore hypothesize that mesenteric ischemia and intestinal hypoxia enhances translocation of C. albicans through the epithelial barrier and thereby contributes to the development of disseminated candidiasis. Thus, the aim of this project is to characterize the interaction of C. albicans with intestinal epithelial cells under normoxic and hypoxic conditions and to identify fungal factors important for translocation under hypoxia. Differential staining and microscopy, damage and viability assays will be performed in monolayer and trans-well assays to determine the translocation potential of C. albicans during normoxia and hypoxia. To elucidate the influence of hypoxia on the expression of fungal virulence-associated genes, microarray technologies will be used. The role of genes upregulated under hypoxia will be further analyzed using defined fungal knock out and overexpression mutants. To address the host response to C. albicans infection, transcriptional profiling and cytokine analysis will be used. Hypotheses derived from these in vitro experiments will then be tested using murine ex vivo and in vivo models. The results obtained in this project will provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of the translocation of C. albicans through intestinal barriers. This knowledge could provide the basis for the development of novel prophylactic and therapeutic strategies and might reveal potential biomarkers for risk assessment and early diagnosis.

Induction of tetrachloroethene respiration in Sulfurospirillum multivorans
Abstract: Dehalogenation processes driven by natural microbial communities contribute significantly to the global halogen cycle. Such microbial networks include organohalide-respiring bacteria,...
... which couple the reductive dechlorination or debromination of halogenated organic compounds to energy conservation via a chemiosmotic mechanism. The key enzyme in organohalide respiration is the reductive dehalogenase (RDase), which serves as a terminal reductase. The RDases are iron-sulfur proteins that harbor a corrinoid cofactor at the active site. Organohalide respiration was studied in detail in the tetrachloroethene (PCE)-dechlorinating epsilonproteobacterium Sulfurospirillum multivorans. The organism displays an unusual type of long-term down-regulation of the PCE reductive dehalogenase gene (pceA) expression in the absence of PCE. In close proximity to pceA, open reading frames encoding putative regulatory proteins were identified. The ILRS project aims to determine the role the corrinoid cofactor of the RDase in the long-term regulation of PCE respiration. In addition, the project focuses on the characterization of two-component regulatory systems within the organohalide respiration gene region in S. multivorans and on the molecular mechanism of PCE sensing.

CARSON CITY, Nev. (AP) - State Sen. Bob Beers, running for governor next year, filed paperwork Monday for a proposed constitutional change to limit government spending and give Nevada voters the final say on state or local government tax increases.
The Tax and Spending Control, or TASC, proposal was filed with the secretary of state. Backers must collect 83,157 signatures, or 10 percent of the voter turnout in the 2004 election, to get the plan on the 2006 ballot. The plan also would need voter approval in 2008.
Beers, R-Las Vegas, said the signature-gathering effort and election-cycle campaigns probably would require a budget of $4 million to $5 million, and fund-raising efforts haven't started yet. He added both volunteers and hired signature-collectors would be involved in trying to qualify TASC for the ballot.
Asked whether he hoped to bolster his bid for governor by pushing the ballot plan at the same time, Beers said TASC "is more important than who's governor."
While a governor would have at most two four-year terms to try holding down taxes and government spending, "This will permanently take the decision out of the hands of special interests and politicians and put it in the hands of taxpayers," he said.
Beers added that fiscally prudent government entities "will have no problem complying with this. They won't even notice this."
Beers also predicted that voters will understand the proposal. "The polls show it's popular," he said, noting an October survey conducted for the Las Vegas Review-Journal showed 58 percent support for the plan.
TASC is similar to Colorado's Taxpayer Bill of Rights, or TABOR. However, voters in that state recently decided to suspend the Tabor spending restrictions.
Under the Nevada proposal, most state and local governments would need voter approval for any new tax or rate increase, extension of an expiring tax or a tax policy change that would produce a revenue gain.
Any increases in state spending would be limited by the percentage changes in the consumer price index and population growth, unless voters allow spending above that level.
The plan also would return excess revenues to taxpayers if those revenues are higher than the constitutional spending limit and the ceilings of new emergency reserve and budget stabilization funds.
Beers introduced three different proposals to impose state spending limits in the Legislature this year, but each failed.

Here's a link list for you folks out there who like to sew. If you have an extra- large t-shirt that's going to waste, you can turn it into some comfy yoga pants! You do need a sewing machine and a little bit of previous sewing experience for this project.
What you basically do is cut off the sleeves and the top collar portion of a big t-shirt. Then you cut the t-shirt into two pieces, (either down the middle, or cut apart the front from the back). Those two pieces are then folded in half and they become the legs of your pants. The sleeves you cut off become the waistband. What you end up with is a pair of capri length pants.
If you've sewn a pair of pants before, it's a little easier to picture in your head how this all comes together. Check out the links below for step-by-step pictures posted by some crafty people who've made their own yoga pants out of t-shirts. (No pattern needed!)

My sewing machine needs to go in for repairs, and I just have not taken the time to get that done. Once it's back in working order, I think I'll give this a try.

Casbah del Mar is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath, luxury condo located directly on the ocean in beautiful Puerto Morelos, Mexico. Designed for indulgent relaxation and getting away, a stay at the Moroccan-inspired Casbah del Mar is best served chilled. Not your typical condo, this rental comes with a very large furnished terrace that overlooks the azure ocean. The terrace contains comfortable seating for six and a separate seating area for conversation and entertaining. This fully-equipped unit contains a master suite and a guest bedroom, for a total of four adult guests.
All beds come with top-quality linens and down pillows for your sleeping comfort. Each bed has been fitted with very comfortable memory-foam pads for a restful sleep after a hard day of sunshine, the ocean breezes, and exciting exploration. The well-kept grounds contain a swimming pool with beach access. Having just six units in the building allows for intimacy and privacy.
We fell in love with Puerto Morelos. The serenity, the breezes, and the townspeople are all wonderful.
Private large terrace overlooking the ocean.
We just loved Puerto Morelos! The terrace and it's furniture was very wonderful! The kitchen was also great and very complete, we were surprised of the great quality of all the accessories: great knifes, pans and we were so happy with the expresso machine.The place was very clean, Marlene who came to clean the place was very nice and did a very great job.Tomas was very nice and helpful whenever we needed help. Loved the beach, and the view day and night, the moments on the terrace were a must!
I really enjoyed my stay. The unit is well equipped and pretty spacious. I would stay here again... Nice people that manages the property.
The incredible view, and extensive patio did not disappoint! The location would have bit tricky to find on our own, but Gonzolas the manager met us at the Crocun Zoo which is about 2.5 miles away and guided us in. Nestled in a very quiet neighborhood, yet only 8 min from town, the location was great. It's a second floor unit, in a small condo grouping, but there were only the grounds keeper and wife there for most of our week stay. Master bedroom had great storage, and an adjoining bathroom for me, and the smaller bath for my fiance down the hall. The smaller bedroom also had decent storage, a two small twin beds. Quaint Moroccan inspired furniture, wifi, and satellite TV. The kitchen had nice amenities, save the funky but functional and clean on the inside fridge. Clothes washer was broken, but our laundry was picked up and delivered the same day. Air conditioner rocks! Clean, cool, quiet, comfy with a dynamite view. We will be back!
Our family of three recently spent eight days in Puerto Morelos and rented Casbah del Mar. PM is a beautiful fishing town with gorgeous beaches, great restaurants, multitude of activities or the perfect setting to read a book and work on your tan. We will return to PM - sadly, our one disappointment was the condo we rented. This property is far from "luxury" as it is listed and has been seriously neglected. It is in dire need of a good cleaning and paint job throughout. The outside furniture hasn't been cleaned in eons which is evidenced by the cobwebs and bird poop. The dead plants on the terrace do nothing to enhance this. The outside terrace also needs a thorough cleaning. There is no shade on the terrace (as mentioned in other reviews). A sunproof awning would be a welcome addition. The interior furniture in living room has also seen better days. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. The kitchen is far from "fully stocked" falls far short of that. The two redeeming factors in the kitchen were the dishes provided as well as the glassware. Otherwise, the kitchen is a mess with drawer fronts falling off & cracked cabinets that should have been replaced long ago. The bathrooms appear to have been updated and were in fairly good condition. The Master Bath seldom had water pressure nor hot water. A large chunk of tile is missing on the Master Bath vanity. We were provided with four small bath towels for the three of us. The swimming pool is lovely; however, in eight days we NEVER saw the pool thoroughly cleaned and noone ever hosed down the pool area. The manner in which it was cleaned and maintained was questionable at best. We saw the Groundskeeper dump a bucket of something in the pool twice during our eight days. The pool was never vacuumed as is the case at every property we have every stayed at. The grounds around this property have been truly overlooked and not "well-kept" as described. Housekeeping is at a bare minimum and was provided only once during our eight day stay. It should be mentioned that neither the housekeepers or the Groundskeeper speak any English. Fortunately, our daughter is fluent and we were able to manage. There is no "Property Manager" on premises. We saw who we took to be the Property Manager for a total of five minutes our first day and never again. At no time did we receive a copy of our rental contract or info packet which we requested from the owner. No book supplied giving tips to area.
The private outdoor deck that goes with the unit is just incredibly big and beautiful. The gorgeous beach is immediately below. The unit is nicely furnished and the kitchen is well-equipped. The second bedroom is rather small, but overall, it's a very nice place. It's a bit of a walk to town - or a 50 pesos cab ride. The trickiest part was finding the place the first time. The house is called Casa Del Mar, and local drivers know the street it's on - Calle de Palapas - but the driver who took us from the airport didn't know the area and we had to help him find it. It would be nice if there had been a notebook with more local information. We would return to this unit if we return to Puerto Morelos, which is a nice, clean town.
We stayed here a week during spring break. We went to town almost every night for dinner and the drive was about 7 minutes from the condo. We enjoyed the very large terrace and had breakfast and coffee out there before heading to the ruins, snorkeling and cenotes every day. In my opinion Puerto Morelos is the place to be if you want a quaint town feel. We visited Cancun and Playa de Carmen but we all agreed we picked the right place here on the beach. The property is clean and the beds were comfortable. There is plenty of room on the deck for friends and family to spend the day if you choose, the only problem I saw was we didn't want to leave. Thank you John for sharing your home, life here is truly a beach!
This was my 5th visit and counting, need I say more?! Seriously this condo has it all. It always delivers..
It is the best location in town ( just a short taxi or walk down the beach) and when my travel plans changed John really went out of his way too work with me and I'm so thankful he did!
Relaxation is key here and the perfect place to get away from it all, this beats a resort any day of the week!
Thanks again John and Elaine for sharing your slice of heaven with me!!
Only a short twenty five-minute walk to town along the beach, Casbah Del Mar sits in a quiet little section of beach homes secluded from traffic and noise. We have discovered that this little area of the Yucatan has managed to keep its charm and character, and we want to share our little secret with you.

Join 107 JAMZ And Volunteers To Help Rebuild Millennium Park!
It's incredible to see the citizens of Lake Charles come together to improve their community in the wake of the Millennium Park fire, and we here at 107 JAMZ want to be a part of that movement. Between Oct. 26 and Nov. 6, volunteers are going to undo what a teenage arsonist heartlessly did last January. By restoring the park, we're coming together in a positive way – and we hope you'll join us!
Over the course of 10 days, 3,000 volunteers will be needed to help rebuild the park. 107 JAMZ and our sister stations will be joining the more than 1,000 that have already signed up. But more are needed. We're asking you to come and work alongside us. Sign up for a four-hour shift and give back to your community.
Shifts will run daily from Oct. 26-30 and again from Nov. 2-4. To sign up, all you have to do is put in a call to Meg Lovejoy at (337) 491-1292 or go here.
If you simply can't donate your time, it's important to know that the builders have only reached 80% of the $350,000 needed to rebuild. Perhaps you can help out with a donation?
Join the staff of 107 JAMZ and our sister stations as we team up with Lake Charles volunteers to do something positive for our community. On the day when the park reopens, you'll be able to look on with pride at the work you've done.
Just so you know it's not just talk, we'll let you know in the upcoming weeks exactly when our DJs will be onsite so that you can join us and work alongside us to rebuild Millennium Park!

Homeopathic Hemorrhoids Treatment in Media
Hemorrhoids are common in men and women middle aged people 45 to 65 are likely to deal with the itching, discomfort and bleeding which are the sign of hemorrhoids
About three-fourths of people develop hemorrhoids at sometime in their lives. Luckily, most cases of hemorrhoids respond to natural care methods.
Hemorrhoids occur in everyone that cause equal problems in men and women and the occurrence peaks between 45 and 65 years of age
What are Hemorrhoids?
Hemorrhoids are painful, swollen veins in lower portion of rectum or anus. It generally occurs during pregnancy and after constipation. The pressure and strain causes the veins in anal area to get enlarged and tender.
There are two different types of Hemorrhoids:
A) Internal-
Internal Hemorrhoids occur above dentate line usually they are varicosities of veins draining the branches of superior rectal arteries. But the area is lacks pain receptors, internal hemorrhoids aren't painful and most people are not even aware of having them. Internal hemorrhoids but bleed when irritated the untreated internal hemorrhoids can lead to various forms of hemorrhoids.
B) External- External Hemorrhoids occur below dentate line usually they are varicosities of veins draining the territory of inferior rectal arteries that are branches of internal pudendal artery. The External Hemorrhoids are prone to thrombosis if the vein splits or blood clot develops then the hemorrhoid becomes a Thrombosed hemorrhoid.
What Causes Hemorrhoids?
What cause hemorrhoids is quite straightforward the pressure in pelvic region bulge the veins in anal cavity that lead to hemorrhoids forming. Yet there are several things that contribute to development of its growths. Below you have few points that will let you take steps to avoid getting hemorrhoids.
1. Straining During the Bowel Movements
It is the most common reason for the occurrence of hemorrhoids. In today's fast world everyone need to be very quick. This makes people to strain during bowel movements to force the stools to move quicker. Yet it only leads to internal or external hemorrhoids forming.
2. Pregnancy and Obesity
Obese people and women in latter part of pregnancy are at greater risk of getting hemorrhoids for same reason. The excess weight put pressure on pelvis that lead to hemorrhoids. Straining through delivery can even worsen hemorrhoids. Generally, hemorrhoid problem pass once women gives birth. Overweight the individual can decrease the occurrence of hemorrhoids by simply losing weight.
3. Age
Age is the risk factor of development of hemorrhoids. Usually the middle aged people 45 to 65 are likely to have hemorrhoids than other age group. It can be due to flagging of rectal muscles and veins in anal cavity. Another possibility is that this age group people tend to consume more medications. Some of these medications cause gastrointestinal issues like constipation as the side effect.
4. Poor Diet
One of the common reasons behind the development of hemorrhoids is the poor diet. Recommended daily amount of fiber is 25 grams per day but a general human gets 15 grams or less. It puts the person at risk of getting constipation that in turn, leads to straining during bowel movements. Having alcohol and caffeine can also lead to gastrointestinal problems as these are the substances that cause the body to excrete water that can cause dehydration. Increasing the fiber and water can prevent constipation.
5. Anal Sex
Anal sex can even lead to hemorrhoids usually if it is forceful. It makes the anal tissues to stretch and weaken that make it more vulnerable to affect the internal pressure. If you find bleeding after anal sex then chances are that your partner is being too rough.
6. Treating Hemorrhoids

Time clauses with before, unless, when, while, as soon as, as long as, provided that
After when, as soon as, before, while, unless, as long as and provided that we use the present tense (not will).

•I'll come with you as long as I don't have to drive.
•You'll pass your exam provided that you doenough revision.
Wish and if only can be used with would and past tenses. These structures express regrets, and wishes for unlikely or impossible things.
If onlyis more emphatic. (Traducción: Ójala, Desearía)
1. Past tenses are used to talk about the present.
I wish I was better looking I wish I spoke French
Don't you wish you could fly? If only I knew more people!
Were can be used instead of was, especially in a formal style.
He wishes he were better looking.
2. We use a past perfect tense to express regrets about the past
I wish you hadn't said that.
Now she wishes she had gone to university.
If only she hadn't told the police, everything would be all right.
3. We use would or could...
1. to talk about future things which aren't so much probable.
I wish / If only I could go to the party.
2. to talk about future things that we would like people (not) to do. The subject of wish and the main verb is different. So here we only use would. This often expresses dissatisfaction or annoyance: It can sound critical.
I wish you would go home. If only the postman would come!
We can use this structure to talk about things as well as people.
I wish this damned car would start. If only it would stop raining!

By eight o'clock last night, I was absolutely exhausted. I could barely hold my eyes open, my knees and hips were aching, and my back felt like I'd been lifting heavy furniture all day. My head was pounding, my mouth felt dry, and every joint in my body was creaking.
No, I did not run a marathon yesterday.
The truth is, I spent my day watching football, cooking dinner, and playing with the family dogs.
So why was I so tired and in so much pain?
Because, after 8 years of carrying all this excess weight, my body is starting to give out on me. Each pound I pack on is sapping another hour of energy I might otherwise have. I'm 30 years old, but I feel like I'm 50.
I'll tell you one thing I know for sure. If I want to stand tall and be enough for myself, I need to lose some of myself first. (As in, some of my belly, and some of my thighs, some of my rumpus….)
Moment of truth: THIS is what I've been eating lately:
|FYI: This is NOT what healthy eating looks like.
Oh, wait. That makes me look like a fat girl with a death wish. I do have *some* healthy foods in my stash. Let me fluff it up just a bit.
|The only veggies I had to add: 3 overripe tomatoes and some wilty parsley. Epic.
Moment of clarity: THIS is what I want my daily diet to look like:
|I don't even know what that green thing is in the upper right-hand corner. Cabbage? Kale? Audrey II?
My body is sending me a clear S.O.S. signal, and has been for some time. And now, I'm ready to do something about it.
Not just for a trimmer waistline, smaller jeans, and a cuter figure. Vanity isn't driving this weight loss bus.
|Nope, it's ALL me.
I'm sitting in the driver's seat this time. And I'm doing it for my health.
I want to sleep better, feel better, have more energy. I want to be in a better mood, feel better about myself, accomplish something great.
I want to be a better me. I want to stand tall and proud, carrying my accomplishments on my shoulders rather than the shame and guilt of my weight.
I want to learn what that cabbage-y this is in that picture, and learn to love it.
There's "more than Enough" me to go around. And I'm ready to change that today.

Homebuilt Custom Motorized WCC Bike
I found a bashed and battered Jesse James chopper bicycle on the train tracks and decided to give it a new life. after chopping off the rear triangle and forth of the seat stay, I used EMT conduit to fabricate a new section and "box' it in. After debating whether to go rigid or softtail, I decided my 41 year old ass couldn't take the bumps of Philadelphia's streets, so I made a rear suspension using bits from the old dropouts. I used a set of wheels off of an Schwinn OCC chopper. They look fine proportionwise but I found out a 16" doughnut spare from a car fits just right. The rear wheel is tubeless now. I decided to go with Harbor Freight's 99cc 3.5 hp Predator series engine. It is still a work in progress but I'm going to take my time with it because I want it to be just right.

Today, I decided I was going to play with the cut crease in a flattering color for brown eyes: a dark plum, deep purple shade (MAC's Fig 1). I know it's fairly common to produce a cut crease in a smokey eye or to define the eye, but I wanted to take it a step further and really wing it out dramatically.
I will tell you that going grocery shopping with this look, I was receiving a lot of stares - I think people couldn't tell what it was that was so different about my face. This is not an every day makeup for the office, I could see how it would be inappropriate in some places, but if you're just having fun, it's great!
I wanted to keep the lid a light color, pretty much a stark white with some glitter for extra pizzazz (as if a dramatic winged crease wasn't enough!) - apparently the pizzazz decided to get onto my lashes for this photo though. I made sure to blend the purple color in my crease out and make it more smokey so that the look was less stark.
I cleaned up the bottom of the crease by adding the purple first, then a peach color above it and making sure to add my lid colors last (the white-ish). I also went in with a fine angled brush and used more of the purple to get the line more precise and opaque. A good trick for creating a cut crease is to apply a similar-colored eyeliner as your base and then follow that line with your eyeshadow brush, this is especially useful if you're just starting out this kind of look or your orbital bone doesn't naturally dictate where that wing would look most flattering.
Products Used:
MAC's Nylon - all over lid shade
Sephora Wedding Day - layered over Nylon for white glitter effect
MAC's Fig 1 - cut crease
Fresh Peach (Anastasia Beverly Hills - Maya Mia Palette) - above the cut crease wing as warm transition shade
MAC's Vanilla - as brow-bone highlight shade
Pacifica Waterproof Eyeliner in Fringe - to line the waterline with a plummy brown color
Stila's Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner (Black) - to create the cat-eye on the lid
Ardency Inn Punker Eyeliner - to make the line extra back, layered on top of Stila liner
Hope you enjoyed this cut-crease, double wing look!

PHOENIX—Let's say you're a Mets fan.
You're stressed these days. It's understandable. Your team lost 3-2 to the Diamondbacks on Tuesday night, their fifth loss in six games since the All-Star break. They're 6½ games behind the first-place Atlanta Braves in the NL East and falling fast.
Worse, they were supposed to be surging, what with all the familiar faces back in the lineup. Jose Reyes, Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo—these...

FILMTEXT is a hybrid work of art that has appeared as a museum installation, a work of Internet art, an original World Wide Web soundtrack, an experimental artist e-book, and a series of live performances. The work premiered at Mark Amerika's How To Be An Internet Artist net art retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London and was commissioned in part by Sony Playstation 2's "Third Space" program.
Subtitled 'MetaTourism: Interior Landscapes, Digital Thoughtography', FILMTEXT investigates the interrelationships between biotech, games studies, digital narrative, and network culture. The work traces the nomadic movement of an alien light formerly known only as "The Digital Thoughtographer," loosely inspired by the life and work of Ted Serios, who had the ability to psychically burn images from his mind onto film. Set in the language of computer games, FILMTEXT's techno music, eerie alien lifeforms, space travel, and sound collages burdened with static and transmission noises, precariously negotiate the netherworlds between sound and noise, film and literature, human body and networked being.
Upon entering the URL, the work automatically launches the introduction. The work is highly interactive and the visitor is encouraged to seek out different areas of interaction. The use the navigation bar in the upper right corner is the suggested way of navigating from scene to scene (new scenes can be triggered by clicking on the Japanese characters located in this upper right corner navigation bar). There are eight scenes in total.
Created in the tradition of experimental filmmakers such as Dziga Vertov, Jean-Luc Godard, Maya Deren, and Chris Marker, the online version of FILMTEXT attempts to translate cinematic language into digitally expanded and interactive forms of art associated with emergent new media genres such as Internet art, hypertext, and motion graphic pictures.
The story of FILMTEXT resonates with pop culture genres such as science fiction movies, cyberpunk fiction, and interactive video game culture. The work challenges the interactive-participant to navigate their way through an ambient game space where "going to the next level" never guarantees anything except the chance to continue struggling to create a meaningful experience out of the cumbersome human-computer interface. In this regard, FILMTEXT is a philosophical investigation that plays with the animated Internet environment and its supposedly liberating potential to help free us from some of the encumbrances of material reality.
In addition to its premiere at Amerika's retrospective at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London, FILMTEXT has been exhibited in a solo exhibition at the Centre for Contemporary Photography (Australia), as well as group exhibitions at venues such as the European Media Arts Festival (Germany), the Center for Visual Art and Culture (Baltimore), The American Museum of the Moving Image (Queens), the 2012 Moscow International Film Festival in conjunction with the MediaLab, and SIGGRAPH 2002 (San Antonio).
