Packers notes: Hit on Cobb sparks debate
BALTIMORE—There has been a lot of debate about the ever-shrinking tackling targets and some of it took place in the middle of the Green Bay Packers' 19-17 victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday.
Baltimore rookie safety Matt Elam went low on Packers receiver Randall Cobb following his catch over the middle and hit Cobb in the right knee. Cobb tumbled over and was down for awhile, eventually needing a cart to go from the sideline to the locker room.
Cobb appears not to have suffered a season-ending injury, but he might be out for a while. The hit Elam made did not sit well with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who ran over and appeared to give Elam a piece of his mind.
"The other safety came over and made actually a very knowledgeable point that I appreciated a little, intelligent banter back and forth about some of the issues the defensive players have to deal with with the target area," Rodgers said. "I totally understand that and get that.
"I just thought from my vantage point, he had plenty of time to not take out a guy's legs in that situation. I thought he could have hit in the proper hitting zone and that's what I told him."
Defensive players across the league have said that it's becoming more difficult to determine where the best place is to hit a player coming across the middle with the rules in place to prevent concussions. Some defensive players have said it's forcing them to go low to make tackles.
The hit on Cobb was legal from the NFL's point of view. No flag was thrown.
"It's tough," receiver Jordy Nelson said. "Defensive guys are put in a small target zone to make plays, to make hits. They can't go high, so there's only one other place to go. I'm not saying that low, but I haven't been in that situation so I'm not going to judge anybody who has to make the play.
"I think it's a split-second decision (not) I've got to get back there and thinking if he throws it up high I'm going to take a guy's knee out. It's tough. You don't want to see it, but it's tough to play defense now."
After he completed his 52-yard reception by going out of bounds at the Baltimore 21, tight end Jermichael Finley quickly understood his mistake.
His impressive catch-and-run on third and 3 at the Packers 27 with 1 minute 53 seconds left practically sealed the game. All the Packers needed to do was get one more first down, which running back Eddie Lacy got on third and 2 at the Baltimore 13.
However, Finley could have made it easier on the Packers if he had fallen to the turf and not gone out of bounds because it stopped the clock and allowed the Ravens to hang on to one of their two remaining timeouts.
"At the point you have to use your football sense," Finley said. "At the same time, it's still a two-point game so in my mind it's not clicking, how much time is left? I'm just trying to be the athlete that I am and make a play."
Finley said his eyes lit up when he saw the Ravens were going to try to cover him with Elam and that Elam was playing outside leverage on him. Finley wanted to go inside on the route so he all he had to do was give him a quick shake move and he was open over the middle.
"I had him boxed out," Finley said. "I made a move to get him off me a little bit more. The other safety, No. 32 (James Ihedigbo) was coming over the top so I had to make a play against him also."
Clockers II
The Packers were quite fortunate at the end of the first half, although rookie end Datone Jones didn't seem to think luck had anything to do with it.
With the ball at the Baltimore 34 and 12 seconds to go, linebacker Nick Perry sacked Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and caused him to fumble. The ball bounced to where Jones was able to pick it up and make a run for the end zone.
The only problem was that he might not make it. For the Packers to get some points out if it he either had to score or get down on the ground before time expired.
"I was thinking about it," Jones said. "I felt I had enough time to try to run it in. I thought I could make it, most definitely. But I got caught from an angle. The guy didn't run me down from behind. If I had a clear path you would have seen my speed."
Jones got hauled down at the Baltimore 13 after a 20-yard return. The clock ran out, but the officials ruled that there were two seconds left when he went down, so that allowed kicker Mason Crosby to hit a field goal from 31 yards to give the Packers a 6-0 lead at halftime.
"That was a big play," Jones said.
Second chances
Crosby missed for the first time this season, ending a streak of 10 straight field goals to start the season.
The miss occurred with 26 seconds left in the half. Crosby said he hit the ball well but was off line by just a little.
It looked as if he was going to have all halftime to dwell on it, but Perry made the sack, Jones returned to the 13 and Crosby suddenly had a 31-yard field goal attempt. Only 24 seconds of game clock passed between attempts.
"What I've talked about this whole time is moving on from the last kick," Crosby said. "That was a quick case of moving on."
Crosby finished 4 of 5 Sunday, and for the season is 13 of 14.
Safety Jerron McMillian had a poor couple of minutes late in the game.
On fourth and 21 at the Baltimore 19, Ravens receiver Tandon Doss ran down the middle of the field right into McMillian's area. McMillian, who was playing deep safety, was slow to react and fell down when he turned to run with Doss.
Doss caught the pass and rumbled 63 yards to the Baltimore 19.
"They ran all verticals; I just fell," McMillian said. "It's not technically my guy. He just got enough time to throw that. I just tripped on the turf. I don't really like this turf."
On the very next play, McMillian was matched up one-on-one on 34-year-old tight end Dallas Clark and got beat for an 18-yard touchdown.
McMillian said the call never came into him that it was supposed to be man-to-man coverage and he was playing zone.
"If it was going to be just me and him one-on-one, I would have played it totally different," he said. "I don't think everybody got the call because they were going so fast."
Dangerous sacks
Perry is the second player in two games to get hurt sacking the quarterback.
Last week, Clay Matthews broke his thumb sacking Detroit's Matthew Stafford and will miss about a month.
Perry sacked Flacco and sprained his ankle. He sat out most of the second half but did come back for five plays. He said it was up to him whether to come back and he and the medical staff decided he shouldn't push it.
"Don't want to push it, don't want to overdo it," Perry said. "Don't want to make it worse. Overall, it was just how I feel. We've got guys well enough that can do the job. I looked at it as a time to sit back and let some of the younger guys get in there.
"I think we need everybody now that Clay's down. We're not looking forward to any more injuries. It was just preventive.

Prevalence and Seasonal Variations of Six Bee Viruses in Apis mellifera L. and Varroa destructor Mite Populations in France
Received 14 April 2004/ Accepted 12 July 2004
A survey of six bee viruses on a large geographic scale was undertaken by using seemingly healthy bee colonies and the PCR technique. Samples of adult bees and pupae were collected from 36 apiaries in the spring, summer, and autumn during 2002. Varroa destructor samples were collected at the end of summer following acaricide treatment. In adult bees, during the year deformed wing virus (DWV) was found at least once in 97% of the apiaries, sacbrood virus (SBV) was found in 86% of the apiaries, chronic bee paralysis virus (CBPV) was found in 28% of the apiaries, acute bee paralysis virus (ABPV) was found in 58% of the apiaries, black queen cell virus (BQCV) was found in 86% of the apiaries, and Kashmir bee virus (KBV) was found in 17% of the apiaries. For pupae, the following frequencies were obtained: DWV, 94% of the apiaries; SBV, 80% of the apiaries; CBPV, none of the apiaries; ABPV, 23% of the apiaries; BQCV, 23% of the apiaries; and KBV, 6% of the apiaries. In Varroa samples, the following four viruses were identified: DWV (100% of the apiaries), SBV (45% of the apiaries), ABPV (36% of the apiaries), and KBV (5% of the apiaries). The latter findings support the putative role of mites in transmitting these viruses. Taken together, these data indicate that bee virus infections occur persistently in bee populations despite the lack of clinical signs, suggesting that colony disease outbreaks might result from environmental factors that lead to activation of viral replication in bees.

Molecular phylogenetics and the classification of honey bee viruses.Evans JD, Hung AC.
USDA-ARS Bee Research Laboratory, Beltsville, Maryland 20705, USA.
We present the phylogenetic relationships of several picorna-like RNA viruses found in honey bees, with respect to 13 additional plant and animal positive-strand RNA viruses. Most of the honey bee viruses fall into an unnamed family of insect RNA viruses typified by the Drosophila C virus. Different bee viruses are broadly distributed within this group, suggesting either that the ability to infect honey bees has evolved multiple times, or that these viruses are generalistic in their abilities to infect insect hosts. At least one major change in gene order has occurred among the bee viruses, based on their phylogenetic affiliations. At the amino-acid level, the bee viruses differed by 15-28% at three conserved loci. Most differed by greater than 50% at the RNA level, indicating that sequence-based methods for bee virus identification must be tailored to at least three different virus clades independently

Lommel SA, Morris TJ, Pinnock DE.
Arkansas bee virus (ABV) is a 30-nm isometric virus composed of one major species of polypeptide (mol. wt. 43 X 10(3] and one species of single-stranded RNA (mol. wt. 1.8 X 10(6]. The size of the genomic RNA and the lack of evidence for encapsidation or synthesis of a second smaller RNA species exclude further consideration of this virus for inclusion with the physicochemically similar viruses of the Nodaviridae. Several independent isolations of ABV were made from bees, and in each case it was associated in mixed infection with a picorna-like virus termed Berkeley bee picornavirus (BBPV). No evidence for replicative dependence, serological relationship, or genome relatedness by complementary DNA hybridization was obtained between ABV and BBPV.

"What are disclosed are chromogenic peptides useful as substrates for the detection and determination of enzymes having a hydrolytic action and methods for detecting and determining enzymes with such peptides.
when used as enzyme substrates according to the invention, to a far lesser extent than the substrates of the state of the art. Whilst a non-peptidic bond between a basic aminoacid and the chromogens is always split in the substrates according to the state of the art, in the peptides according to the invention there is a true peptide bond between the basic aminoacid and another naturally occurring aminoacid at the point at which they are split by the enzymes. In the case of enzymatic splitting, the new substrates therefore have properties closer to those of a protein than the compounds known hitherto. The sensitivity to esterases is greatly reduced by the insertion of one or more aminoacids between the splitting point and the chromophore whilst the specificity can be increased by varying these aminoacids. The invention relates, in particular, to the use of the new compounds as chromogenic or fluorescent substrates for the detection, and preferably for the quantitative determination, of proteolytic enzymes. The compounds can also be employed in a known manner in the determination of enzyme inhibitors. Above all, the compounds are suitable as chromogenic substrates in the determination of proteinases in body fluids of humans and animals."

SNIP: Pertussis toxin-insensitive effects of mastoparan, a wasp venom peptide, in PC12 cells.
Murayama T, Oda H, Nomura Y.
Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hokkaido University, Sapporo, Japan.
Recent studies have shown that mastoparan, an amphiphilic peptide derived from wasp venom, modifies the secretion of neurotransmitters and hormones from a variety of cell types. Mastoparan interacts with heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding proteins (G proteins) such as Gi and G(o), which are ADP-ribosylated by pertussis toxin (PTX) and thereby uncoupled from receptors. Previously, some of the effects of mastoparan including secretion were reported to be modified selectively by PTX but not by cholera toxin (CTX). In the present study, we examined the influence of bacterial toxins on the effects of mastoparan in PC12 cells. Mastoparan stimulated [3H]noradrenaline (NA) release from prelabeled PC12 cells in the absence of CaCl2, although high K+ or ATP-stimulated the release in a Ca(2+)-dependent manner.

Recent studies have shown that mastoparan, an amphiphilic peptide derived from wasp venom, accelerates guanine nucleotide exchange and GTPase activity of purified GTP-binding proteins. In the present study we have examined the functional consequences of exposure of intact human platelets to mastoparan. Mastoparan promoted rapid (less than or equal to 1 min) dose-dependent increases in 5-hydroxy[14C]tryptamine and beta-thromboglobulin release from dense-granule and alpha-granule populations respectively

Hey London, Just trying to be funny, you know cracking a joke in spite of the fact that I don't know what to do about my failling health. Quit reading into stuff. It just after seeing all those patents or whatever they were from Nadas, I wouldn't put it past them to sue us for carrying whatever they infected us with like they did to that farmer. Lighten up Finster.
me too.
Been reading this thread for about 2 months now.
I am fairly certain I have contracted this disease.
I have SIGNIFIGANT fatigue. I never was a very fatigued ever.. and this past month I am just totally out of check. Literally have no energy.
If someone drinks caffiene and has a caffiene buzz.. the difference between that high, and their normal energy level is the same difference to how I used to be and how I am now, just in the negative.
I can hardly concentrate, I have very lowerd cognitive ability.
and now to the worst parts of my symptoms ...and how it began...
This all started when I had a flare up on my right ear.
It was sore, as if I had slept all night on it with it bent between my face and pillow.
This subsided within a few days.
Then about 3 months later, my right ear became sore as if a spider had bit it, but no central SPOT location for the bite to be loccated, just the inflamed reddened area.
It swelled signifigantly. Any person who looked at me could tell. My ears are usually flush with my head. They don't stick out.
This was making my right ear swolen and red and sticking out at a 45 degree angle.
The crease between two of the folds in my ears upper area split and was moist inside it.
I went to a walk-in health care clinic. They swabbed it, and said it was a Staph infection. ( i do not know what became of the culture they did with the swab if any.. I should check on that)
They gave me Omnicef as an antibiotic, and some Hydrocordone for pain.
The swelling stayed the same, so they sent me to an Ear, Nose and Throat physician.
He then put me on a steroid (forgot the name)... and the swelling went down. He took a photo of my ear, and said its his best guess that it is a very rare genetic disease called Polychondritis, where your own immune system attacks the cartilage all over your body, and usually begins in your ear. I was also feeling soreness in my nose, so I thought this would be the scenario. He refered me to a doctor in the next city over, a Rheumatoid doctor, to confirm his guess and/or give his own diagnosis.
I didnt like the way the steroids made me feel, and I didn't want to be taking them for this for the rest of my life, even though I followed his orders and took mine...
So I researched Recurring Polycondritis (PR) and found a few people that said that keeping a healthy Vegan diet and constant exercise pushed all the symptoms away. I thought ok, I can deal with that instead of steroids, so I thought I would do that.
So I see the Rheumatoid doctor, and he diagnos's it as the same .. Polychondritis, and puts me on a steroid called Prednisone.
He had me do bloodwork, and the test for Polychondritis came up NEGATIVE.
So about 2 days into the Prednisone, I start feeling it......
First it was mild tingling as if someone was taking a feather very lightly and moving it along the hairs of your face, juuust lightly...
Or as if someone took a long human hair, and held both ends.. and touched the middle of it to your eyebrow and pulled it along it lenghwise.
Then those same sensations began to become more frequent and larger, with more pressure involved.
Mainly it is around the crown of my head, the area you would wear a headband or where your sunglasses touch your face.
Many times I feel whatever it is going down the outer rim of my right ear.
I was in my own world, for about a week I kept it to myself, then when I couldn't take it any more, I told my parents about it. They said it's probably just the Prednisone.
Believe me, Prednisone can seriously mess with your mind. But these things I was feeling were REAL, and no Prednisone symptoms include fatigue or this crawling sensation.
That was my worst fear. If I HAVE to deal with thse crawling sensations, (which it seems I do) then fine. But if the two people I would hope I could trust or would belive me most in the world, don't believe me, that is the worst. It's just confirmaiton that I'm alone in this. (as far as people i konw in real life). I can't tell anyone, or they'll label me with the delusional bit, which further impedes their image of me in their minds.
Whos going to trust someone that imagines there are bugs in their skin??
So they say to me,.. just finish the Presnisone.. and wait it out a few days.
It's been 4 days since I stopped Prednisone, and the symptoms have worsened.
The worst crawling sensation is when I am in bed at night trying to fall asleep. It happens all over my face, but the worst part, at that time, is around my right temple and in the crevace of my right ear (which is where the pain from before is re-emerging) . In that area, I feel a very pressured feeling as if some amorphic blob only nanometers thin is spreading aimlessly around that area, burrowing through the first layer of my skin. Almost the same sensation you'd imagine having of a tapeworm type parasite moving around under your skin , except there is no accute pain. No stinging as it moves through your skin, only the pressure of its presence, almost like someone touching that area after local anesthetic has been administered, but with a tingling.
Thats where I feel it the most, around my right ear, so I am no doubt connecting the initial inflamation of my ear with the crawling sensations.
I get them over my eyebrows, under my eyes, on the corner of my eyes, and on the back of my head.
There is also a lesser version of this feeling that I have intermittently at random places all over my body. This feels as if a little black ant was crawling on me, but i go to brush it away, and nothing is there.
Another thing I notice is a feeling of debris of some sort falling through my hairs downward. When I go to lok at that area, there are white flakes of some sort, that seem to be made of somethign that resembles the same fine material you see a spider-egg sack is made from.
I am thinking that when the feeling becomes MOST tingling.. that is when this material is being expelled from whatever it is, or through the pores of my skin, because after a serious tingling episode, I feel the sensation of the "flakes" falling through the fine hair on my face or my sideburns, and go to check and surely enough.. there is some material.
I have no signs of the blue fibers jutting from any lesions, though I do notice alot of tiny blue strands about one eighth the diameter of a human hair. ( seen under a photo-slide magnifer I have )
Are the lesions a later symptom in most cases?
I have never had ANY serious health problems or phsychological issues.
The "rare genetic disease" thing had totally caught me off guard, and I thought my ear was merely a spider bite (because thats what it origonally felt like)
I can deal with the sensations if i have to... I just want my energy and normal cognitive level back! I am a creative person, I spend the day animating visual effects for film, and I cannot let this get in the way of my dream of doing this for a living!
Another sickening thought that I try very hard to not think of, is the thought that this may be contagious. Whenever my workmate's wife comes to visit him at work with their new baby, I leave the room, or if it's the end of the day I leave immediately. I do not want to infect the child.
Also, since I do not want to infect anyone, I am seriously in doubt as to whether I will ever be able to have an intimate relationship. I don't want to curse someone else with this through bodily contact.
Those both may be overreactions to the newfound thought of possibly having this disease, but I would rather heed those thoughts, as opposed to finding that it is indeed infectious later on, and I had been responsible in spreading this, especially to a friend's child.
As far as HOW I contracted it goes, I have no idea. Possibly I DO have Polychondritis, and the Presnidone, (which's only purpose is to DRASTICALLY reduce your auto-immune system's responses) opened the floodgates to letting in this disease. Possibly I caught it while handling th emany magazines at the doctors office. Maybe a dirty needle at the bloodwork place? Maybe the time I was out in the rain and got drenched for 2 hours before the inflamation on my ear started caused me to be succeptable to the pathogen.
I dont know how. All I know is that I have many of the symptoms that people are reporting to have.
Thats my piece.
Now, what I have to say as far as this forum goes, is...
you all seem to be gathering quite an amount of data, and just sharing it with one another, but with no centrally located database of your findings, so you can, in an orderly fashion, eliminate, or add to your theories, formulation, etc...
I suggest you take what you've come up with , and create an online WIKI for anyone to read, but only EDITABLE by certain people actively investigating the ACTUAL BIOLOGY that's occuring regarding this disease.
I believe this would be a much more efficient way of boiling down the data circulating, to hopefully, in the future, a concrete foundation of facts.
here are some links to online wiki services.
now.. i guarantee beginning this is going to look like cryptic code to alot of people reading it, and it will be disorganised and confusing.. but I am sure as time goes on.. the private wiki could be pushed and pushed into somethign comprehensive, and more to the point HELPFUL in our understanding as to what is actually happening.
as far as I know, what I've read.. is that some genes which are most active in algae and butterfly DNA have been unlocked in our DNA? and this allows multitudes of micro ogranisms and bacteria of different types of species to amalgamate through quorum-sensing into a biomass on and in our skin, bypassing our immune system? the debris we find is a polymer that is expelled by the substance that surrounds the biomass, which protects it from antibiotics and harmful chemicals.
now, as far as my opinion on that... I have none. I was not a biology major, so my own research would have to go into this theory heavily before I becan to swallow it as fact, but these things I jsut listed above, are what I have found is most often talked about.
I'm here to talk and try to understand about the biology of what is happening.
I'm not into the conspiracy side of things, nothing wrong with your own theories, but I am not interested in worrying about WHY it's here right now.. only WHAT it is.
maybe later I'll decide to go that avenue and into that area, but not now. I'm only intersted in other people's experiences with remedies, and the biology of it.
thanks for reading
Yes, I think that we have radiation damage.
Last month, I was to the doctor to get my thyroid meds. I learned about my thyroid problems back in the 1970's. I need to take my little pills every day.
The nurse practioner decided that my blood levels should be checked, so she sent me to the lab. The woman that did my blood draw was telling me that she has never seen so many people testing for thyroid as she has the past few years. She said it's becoming commonplace. She mentioned that her sister-in-law works in a lab at Cleveland Clinic and she marvels over the same issues. Thyroid and Reynauds (Cancer also) are spiraling out of control according to my techie.
I had a map on my previous computer- that showed the % of population across the US with known damage due to radiation. Too bad I lost that one. Had to do with the nukes tested in the western states.
Thyroid disease is just one symptom of the radiation. Cancer another...
You should read some of the links of the Downwinders group. They have answers for you, I'm sure.
PS I believe it was stated somewhere that anyone that grew up in the US in the 1950's has radiation damage. I'll look for the link...

Brain fog relief
Hi, "M", aka polycon,
I am learning too after several months of knowing. Like living in two worlds, creeped out, knowing you are parasitized and not able yet to get rid of it.
For brain fog I highly recommend an herb Rhodiola rosea which is an adaptogen and well studied in Europe. Feel like I got my brain back (most of it).
You may wish to puruse the book, "The Rhodiola Revolution," 2005, written by two shrinks, one of whom was disabled with undiagnosed Lyme. She attributed her healing to 25% long term antibiotics, and the rest Rhodiola rosea. (Side effects: some people have minor GI discomfort. Not reommended if you have bipolar.)
I got this from a mosquito bite in Canada in the early 80's. I have never gotten rid of the sores completely. Symptoms started with extreme fatigue and progressed systemically over time. Currently on disability for fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis. I believe my daughter got the micro organism from me when she was born. I have had much relief from 1 1/2 years of doxycycline which I just recently stopped taking due to other opportunistic infections. The doxyclycline does not stop new sores from coming but helps with pain and mobility. About one week after stopping the antibiotic the pain is back. I am glad to hear from TamTam and appreciate the videos. My doctor and he is so skeptical he would probably send God to see a shrink if he came in with the samples, the videos etc. He would not even look at my samples. I sent the samples in to the lab and it came back as "fiber exudate". I have seen well over 50 doctors, for numerous other symptoms, since I got this. I have had many many blood tests and not one person has noticed that these are living organisms that are in my blood, earwax, tears, skin and eyes. I am glad to have the support of the other sufferers on this site. mrcpvls
Welcome Polycon and Mrcpvis and Hello Nettimo,
Thank you for sharing about the fibers and your doctor experiences. The stories are so similiar.
Now, the ideas about the Wiki are great.
I have been trying to beat down some theories we have just to have some conclusive evidence, but, until there are bonifed scientific studies, of this by many researchers, we are limiting this to what we observe, which is a good start.
However, the fiber is the main issue. It seems to instigate much deeper involvement of this critter. The intitial problem, I think though begins with some kind of bite, and/or the insect itself.
Now, I just took something out of my chin that looks like a water flea. There seemed to be barbs on it. Now, in the specimens we give, if the flea is not intact, one would never know that is what it is.
However, it had to get on the skin somehow.
I seem to have gotten a rash of this recently on my face. Underneath and around where these eruptions take place is a blue, about 1/4" round line
near crease in mouth, and near eye near a vein.
There must be a bacteria, a vector, and a live organism. I have had this 15 years. I have been in and out of this thing, but, never leaves, however, I am able to manage by using the many different safe and most natural products to alleviate the symptoms.
A gram-negative bacteria, a fly, misquito, bee, ant, a medicine, as Vector, and a protist as organism.
So, I say the bacteria is Wolbachia,
A fly-tick, misquito, bee, gnat, midge, Phorid, flea, small spider, spider/webs carrying spores, as Vector, and a protist, protozoa, fliaria producing worm, nematode, helminth, trematode etc. as the mover under the skin as the OrganismThat is what I have gathered so far.
Now, to narrow this down, by process of elimination, we have covered many things.
London has mentioned the Wolbachia, and the vectors, which is in 25% of insects on earth.
She has also mentioned the genetically modified
insects, worms, and symbiosis of bacterias associated with these insects.
Where this gets confusing is when the altered bugs are brought in. When we see abnormal bugs, when we see abnormal effects of the bites of these bugs. When we see blue lines under our skin that are not veins, when we have electrial impulses going through our bodies, then we begin to think that the fibers are electrical, or stimulated by electrical activity, and we think the fibers are inorganic, and yet catalysts for this disease.
Then we are crossing the threshold of biologicial entities and physics natural phenomenon. However, this may not be natural at all.
Mention of what is new: Buckyballs, nanomedicine, nano, genetically created microbes, all come into play. Particle science in new tech.
However, if we can document evidence, as many have, of what this looks like, what it does to the skin, observing its many attributes, and if our blood changes, our bone density changes, we keep this physical, the mental is there only as a bioproduct of what goes on physically.
The mental DOP is just a copout by doctors, for either not knowing what this is, not making an attempt to even find out, or they being ordered by AMA to keep it under the rug, knowing clearly what this is, but refusing to acknowledge it and let the public know that something seriously is happening in the environment with experimental bioweapons and/or
accidental releases, and/or evolutionary creations that either change DNA by retrogenes or direct environmental manipulation.
So, many theories arise, but, if we stick to the one we are looking in recent discussions, we are examining the crossover between the world of physics, the geological changes in the earth, and the changes in biology (even in taxonomy-the naming of it - Cladistics has changed over this last century, but, are these scientists correct?) Are the newly created microbes, bacterial products, and pharma really looking to cure, or create a sickness, call it something else and treat with gene altering drugs.
So, jump right in and from what you observe and think, join us in this battle.
Thanks for sharing,
I'd also like to add, that before moving to North Carolina in November of 05', I was in Orlando Florida for 2 and ahalf years.
While I was there I would constantly get "bites" on my outer bicep of each arm, and nowhere else on my body. They would come the size and feel of a mosquito bite, but go away within the day they appeared.
I NEVER found any bugs biting me when I got them, and they never appeared after an initial "bite" pain. they just began itching and the scratching id did on that spot made me notice them.
Again, ONLY on my outer upper arm area of both my left and right sides is where they would occur, and they were not symmetrical meaning to not confuse this with symmetrical symptoms that have been discussed, only to indicate that thats where they happened on my body.
The only thing I could think of, is that that is where I had my allergy "pin-pad" tests when I was a child. There were no bugs visible, and no symptoms of this disease back then. I do know Florida has a high rate of reported Morgellons.
I just wanted to say I had those bite-things so that anyone else that went through that experience before showing the major crawling symptoms might respond and confirm if they've experienced that as well.
Is there anyone here that would like to begin the Fiber-Disease-Wiki ?
I do not mean on Wikipedia, I mean referring to my links in my last post before this one, that it would be a privately edited one only for people contributing to the accumulation of biology-data relevant to the disease.
I really don't have much too say about the following (snips) but I was surprised to read them.
I also think I might have ran across the name of the Fibers.....SPME and they use this to extract/test things with (i.e., chemical compositions- I think)
Baculovirus recombinants capable of simultaneous expression of multiple gene products.
Introduction: The insect pathogenic Baculoviruses have been adapted for high efficiency recombinant protein production in infected insect cells and larvae. Multi-gene proein complexes such as antibodies or human pathogenic virus structures can be produced by co-infecting multiple Baculovirus recombinants, but increased efficiency of multi-gene products could be attained if all genes were expressed from a single baculovirus recombinant. We are constructing a multi-gene Baculovirus expression vectors that could be used for efficient expression of multi-gene products by adapting several non-essential regions of the virus to recombinant protein expression.
Research Projects: The student will begin by constructing and expanding novel Baculovirus shuttle vectors containing the gene of interest. These vectors will be used for transfection of insect cells in culture, along with viruses in cell culture, and the genetic and molecular characterization of DNA viruses. Subsequent analyses of protein products produced by the generated recombinants will complete the training. This will provide a useful survey of recombinant DNA and protein technologies that are standard practice in molecular genetics laboratories.
Biosolar Hydrogen Production (AFOSR, ACS).
http://www.princeton.edu/~biosolar/ All oxygenic phototrophs
extract electrons and protons from water and use them to
reduce NADP+ and plastoquinone for use as energy sources
for metabolism such as Calvin cycle CO2 fixation and other
pathways. However, some microbial oxygenic phototrophs
(cyanobacteria and microalgae) can transiently produce H2 gas
under anaerobic conditions via proton reduction catalyzed by a
hydrogenase in competition with other intracellular processes.
They do so by redirecting the electrons and protons, ultimately
produced by water oxidation, at the level of
ferredoxin/NADPH into hydrogenase. Beginning in 2005, we
are leading a national research team comprised of five
institutions that seeks to harness natural biosolar H2
production from water as a source of renewable clean
hydrogen energy. In one approach we are developing tools to
allow large scale screening of microbial strains from diverse natural habitats including extreme environments. Strains
isolated from these screens are expected to possess better metabolic properties more suited for H2 production. Data
from one of the three powerful tools that we have built is illustrated in the figure, showing detection of dissolved H2
(at 10-8 M sensitivity) produced by induction of hydrogenase activity in the green microalga, Chlamydomonas
reinhardtii. The figure illustrates how trains of light pulses of variable pulse duration give rise to different kinetics of
H2 production. At higher light duration, more O2 is produced which poisons the hydrogenase enzyme thereby
suppressing H2 production. This behavior differs among individual strains and between different species. Subsequent
metabolic engineering to better control the flux of electrons and protons into H2 production will be undertaken in
genetically tractable strains of cyanobacteria and microalgae via random mutagenesis, directed evolution, and
expression of chimeric hydrogenases. Members of the collaborative team are developing techniques for high
throughput screening of microbial H2 production, H2 sensor development, microbial physiology, genetic and
physiological engineering of metabolic pathways, directed evolution and microchemostat development. We have
described an efficiency analysis which identifies the opportunities and challenges
that face development of this technology as a potential practical solution for
hydrogen energy production (Kruse et al. 2005). Our research has identified and
optimized a different pathway within cyanobacteria than used in the microalgae for
solar hydrogen production from water. The cyanobacterial pathway in Arthrospira
maxima uses a dark fermentative pathway to produce H2 from photosynthetically
generated reductant, thereby achieving temporal separation of O2 production, a
requirement for practical applications in energy generation.

Here are those fibers being used:
Solid-phase microextraction for determining the distribution of sixteen US Environmental Protection Agency polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons in water samples.
A solid-phase microextraction (SPME) procedure has been developed for the determination of 16 US Environmental Protection Agency promulgated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Five kinds of SPME fibers were used and compared in this study. The extracted sample was analyzed by gas chromatography with flame ionization detection or mass spectrometry. Parameters affecting the sorption of analyte into the fibers, including sampling time, thickness of the fiber coating, and the effect of temperature, have been examined. Moreover, the feasibility of headspace SPME with different working temperatures was evaluated. The method was also applied to real samples. The 85-microm polyacrylate (PA) and 100-microm poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) fibers were shown to have the highest affinities for the selected PAHs. The PA fiber was more suitable than the PDMS fiber for the determination of low-ring PAHs while high sensitivity of high-ring PAHs was observed when a 100-microm PDMS fiber was used. The method showed good linearity between 0.1 and 100 ng/ml with regression coefficients ranging from 0.94 to 0.999. The reproducibility of the measurements between fibers was found to be very good. The precisions of PA and PDMS fibers were from 3 to 24% and from 3 to 14%, respectively. Headspace SPME is a valid alternative for the determination of two- to five-ring PAHs. A working temperature of 60 degrees C provides significant enhancement in sensitivity of two- to five-ring PAHs having low vapor pressures (>10(-6) mmHg at 25 degrees C) (1 mmHg = 133.3 Pa) and low Henry's constants (>10 atm ml/mol) (1 atm = 1.01 x 10(5) Pa).
Well, I thought I had it on here but was wrong- Nadas, remeber those Diatoms/ rotifers? Guess what they are using them for??? thier silicone!~! so they are using all thise micro organisms that we see to benefit the industry! (you guys may have known that, but I had no idea)
hERE IS A LINK TO MY GUESS ON THE FIBERS!!! IF YOU SCROLL DOWN TO PAGE 14 YOU WILL SEE DR. WYMORE! (KIDDING, BUT LOOKS LIKE HIM)

Walworth County decides on medical examiner
ELKHORN—In December, longtime Walworth County Coroner John Griebel died.
Tuesday, the Walworth County Board voted unanimously to change its ordinances, abolishing the office and replacing it with a medical examiner.
In doing so, officials paid tribute to Griebel's service.
"We've almost been spoiled by the high quality of his work," board member Dave Wagner said in an executive committee meeting just before the full board meeting.
Walworth County David Bretl echoed those sentiments.
"In addition to missing our friend, to say that those will be big shoes to fill is an understatement," he told the board.
Griebel's wife, Barb, attended the meeting, and Bretl recognized her "profound loss" as he honored her husband for his 53 years of service.� Griebel was first elected in 1960.
Bretl told the board there were "a lot of unknowns, but whatever we do is going to cost more than it did before."
"John ran it from his house," Bretl said of the coroner's office. "He was on the road all the time."
After the meting Bretl said Griebel was being paid for a half-time job—an estimated $44,000 a year—and was working more hours than he was being paid for.
Tuesday's vote was the result of several discussions in committee.
Bretl explained the differences between a medical examiner and a coroner to the board.
A medical examiner will be appointed by, and will answer to, the county board. The board also can decide what qualifications the medical examiner should have.
A coroner is an elected official who answers only to voters.
Tuesday's vote came just hours after Gov. Scott Walker's office informed county officials it had chosen someone to fill the remainder of Griebel's term. Ron Person, a retired captain from the Walworth County Sheriff's Department will fill in for Griebel until Jan. 4, 2015.
Although the new medical examiner will not officially start until that term expires, the board needed to make a decision, Bretl said. State law requires that counties wanting to switch to the medical examiner system must change their ordinances before April 15. That's the first day candidates would be allowed to circulate papers for the office of coroner.
Bretl said the county hasn't decided on all of the details of the medical examiner job description or pay. Waukesha County is considering forming a consortium with other counties for services related to a medical examiner's office. Those plans are still under discussion.
Rock County also will change to a medical examiner system in 2015.� �

Greek yogurt is a product I definitely endorse. Not everything in this world that is claimed to be good for you actually is. We have to pick and chose by doing some research and finding out the real deal out there. As someone who lost 150 lbs, I can tell you first hand that a high protein diet is absolutely key in losing weight and maintaining it. Greek yogurt is just that. It is a snack that I think anybody who is trying to lose weight, tone up or simply looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle can benefit from. I have never been a big yogurt guy to begin with but the protein content contained in Greek Yogurt caught my attention and then as they say, the rest is history. I really like to mix the plain kind right into a nutribullet drink, which makes the shake super thick and delicious. Other times if I am lazy I'll just eat it out of the container like a normal yogurt. Greek yogurt is not just a healthy "option" but it is proactively healthy for you and we should go out of our ways to eat it. There are literally thousands of ways to incorporate it into your diet.
One of the best things about Greek yogurt, besides its amazing protein content, is how cost friendly it is and how full it makes you feel. As a guy who eats like a guy, and who is capable of stuffing their face, (because I like to eat) the fact that it satisfies me that much is a tough task. This makes it ideal for weight loss. The reason you feel that full is because it takes your body double the amount of time to digest this type of yogurt over traditional. This will in turn cut down your cravings, helping you get to your next meal without binging on snacks, and also satisfying your sweet tooth, all the while taking in some goodies like protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium along the way. This promotes healthy bones as well. One thing to watch out for is sugar content. Plain Greek yogurt will always be the ideal way to go. Not vanilla, plain. If you chose to get a flavored one, look for containers with the least amount of sugar possible. I can't stress that part enough. Sometimes that is hard to avoid. Even a brand like Chobani, which is known to be great brand, and it is, has 19G of sugar in their strawberry flavored choice. Not a terrible amount of sugar but if you are trying to watch your sugar intake for what ever reason, 19G is still a decent amount. The best of both worlds is going with the plain kind and dressing it up yourself by using natural sweetener like Stevia, then adding some fruit and granola and bam; you have a perfectly healthy option. There is another factor to consider with plain Greek yogurt at the grocery store. Some like the 2% because it tastes better while some prefer no fat and opt for the 0%. The fat portion in the 2% or higher may include a little bit of saturated fat but will usually have no trans fat, therefore it is not that unhealthy for you. If the 0% makes you feel more comfortable, go for it but remember: you want to enjoy it or else you won't go back to it. Another way to incorporate Greek yogurt into your diet is using it in savory dishes such as sour cream or a sauce thickener. It can also be used as a veggie dip. Recipes can be found all over the Internet. Remember, Google is your friend.
Greek Yogurt has other health benefits too. I can make a whole piece just about probiotics, which are microorganisms found in Greek yogurt that support good digestion and assist in having a healthy gut. Your gut area is one of the most crucial and sensitive areas of your entire body because that is where most bacteria lies. Also, on a social level, people desire smaller waistlines and flatter stomachs. The probiotics in Greek yogurt will promote a healthy gut and help you accomplish just that. In short, your digestive system / gut contains both good and bad bacteria. Greek yogurt contains a lot of good bacteria so by increasing the intake of good bacteria, it will leave less room for bad bacteria to exist, making many diseases such as diabetes harder to form. Greek yogurt is a great preventative measure. It also helps greatly with digestive & intestinal diseases such as Crohn's disease and is the reason why people with those issues still can resort to yogurt.
Getting back to basics, yogurt is yogurt. It is probably the most common snack ever. I just hope now you know a little more about it and if the Greek variety was not something you were already doing, maybe you'll try it now. Greek yogurt is simply a great snack that I would endorse to almost anyone with any goal. This is a weight loss website but I know most of us can benefit from eating more Greek yogurt. Both varieties can be had in large quantities on the cheaper side at any grocery store. Individual containers of yogurt can go for under a buck, sometimes 50 cents. My favorite kind to buy is Fage 2%. Hope you all enjoyed and please share.

What's next in Wisconsin governor investigation?
MADISON — Investigators looking into the 2012 recall campaign of Gov. Scott Walker and other conservative groups are trying to salvage their probe despite rulings this week by a federal judge that put it in jeopardy.�
The investigation, which has been ongoing for nearly two years, comes as Walker's star is rising in the Republican Party and he considers running for president in 2016.
Here are some key questions as the legal battle over the investigation continues.
U.S. District Judge Rudolph Randa ruled that the investigation into possible illegal coordination between the governor's recall campaign and conservative groups supporting him was a breach of free-speech rights. He also ordered prosecutors to return all property seized in the investigation and to destroy all copies of information obtained in the probe. The judge, who was appointed by George H.W. Bush, issued the ruling in a lawsuit filed by Wisconsin Club for Growth, a conservative group that said the so-called John Doe investigation amounted to harassment.
Randa's ruling was put on hold less than 24 hours later by the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which said Randa should not have halted the investigation while he was still considering prosecutors' appeal of his earlier decision that they were not immune from being sued. The appeals court also blocked the portion of Randa's order requiring prosecutors to return or destroy evidence they had collected.�
Randa on Thursday, just 17 hours after the appeals court ruling, said the prosecutors' appeal was frivolous, thereby reinstating his temporary injunction blocking the investigation.�
Prosecutors could ask for another stay while the appeal to Randa's order is pending. The appeals court has also set a schedule to receive briefs from attorneys in the appeal, with the last deadline on July 30.�
While the federal case is ongoing, there are also three other lawsuits pending in state court connected to the investigation.
The special prosecutor leading the investigation, Francis Schmitz, has asked an appeals court to reverse a judge's decision in one lawsuit to quash subpoenas in the case. A second lawsuit involves two unnamed parties asking the Wisconsin Supreme Court to challenge the investigation, and three other unnamed parties argue that Peterson lacks authority to run such a probe.�
It is the name given to investigations allowed under Wisconsin law which are done largely in secret and overseen by a judge. Prosecutors can collect evidence and compel people to testify, just like in regular investigations, but the activity is largely shielded from the public.�
Information has leaked out about the latest probe through court rulings, redacted court filings, and leaks made by Eric O'Keefe, the director of Wisconsin Club for Growth, one of the conservative groups being targeted.�
Yes, the first John Doe investigation into the Milwaukee County executive's office under Walker lasted three years and ended in 2013 with six convictions. Walker was interviewed but never charged.
The second investigation ordered by Milwaukee County District Attorney John Chisholm began in August 2012, less than two months after Walker won a recall election spurred by anger over the law he pushed that effectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers.�
The current investigation, dubbed John Doe II, focused on alleged illegal coordination between and among Walker's recall committee and "all or nearly all right-of-center groups and individuals in Wisconsin who have engaged in issue advocacy from 2010 to the present," Randa said in his Tuesday ruling.�
They haven't so far.
Walker's Democratic opponents tried to use the first investigation against him during the 2012 recall, but Walker easily defeated Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett.
Walker's opponent for re-election this year, former Trek Bicycle Corp. executive Mary Burke, hasn't made the ongoing probe as large of a focus of her campaign. Outside groups critical of the governor have tried to argue that the investigations show Walker is untrustworthy.�
For his part, Walker has said he's not letting the investigations distract him from the job of being governor.

Police say Elkhorn woman killed after pulling knife
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minnesota —An Elkhorn woman was brandishing a knife when fatally shot by officers in a Minnesota stand-off Friday, according to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety.
Dawn Marie Pfister, 34, and her boyfriend Matthew Vincent Serbus, 36, were killed on Highway 212 by multiple gunshot wounds after leading police on a chase during the morning rush hour near Eden Prairie, Minn.
Just after 7:30 a.m. Friday, officers of the Chaska Police Department, Carver County sheriff's deputies and Minnesota State Patrol troopers responded to reports of a vehicle driving erratically and at high speed, according to a release from the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension.
The same vehicle was reported to have fled from a rear-end crash. Responding officers located an eastbound red Saab on Highway 212 and initiated a pursuit that reached speeds of 80 mph, according to the release.
The license plate on the vehicle had been reported stolen from a vehicle in Colorado, according to the release.
The Saab crashed along the wall on Highway 212 near Dell Road in Eden Prairie.
Serbus and Pfister emerged from the vehicle, and Serbus produced a knife, according to the release.
When Serbus ignored repeated commands to drop the weapon, officers shot him. Pfister then took possession of the knife, at which time she was shot, according to the release.
Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension personnel recovered a knife at the scene and are conducting laboratory tests and analysis of the evidence.
Jill Oliveira, spokeswoman for the bureau, said the officers involved are on administrative leave. The officers' agencies will decide how to proceed.
The four officers involved are Sgt. Brady Juell, who has been with the Chaska Police Department for 17 years, officer Trent Wurtz, a 14-year veteran of the Chaska Police Department, Minnesota State Patrol Trooper Mark Lund, who has been with the Minnesota State Patrol for 14 years and Cpl. Nathan Mueller, a 9-year veteran of the Carver County Sheriff's Department.
"We're still in the process of conducting the investigation," Oliveira said. "We are waiting on test results and are preparing reports."
When investigation is complete, the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension would present its findings to the Hennepin County Attorney for review.

We're inside the final two minutes on the clock for the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) in-house legal team, and the match's intensity has reached another level. Just as one lawsuit against the governing body of major collegiate sports is seeing its day in court, another lawsuit has been settled without trial.
The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California heard testimony in a case commonly referred to as the "O'Bannon case" on June 9. Former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon filed an antitrust suit against the NCAA, claiming that the organization unfairly blocks student-athletes from making money off of their likenesses.
O'Bannon and Stanford sports economist Roger Noll testified on the first day, with both parties stating that college athletes should receive a share of revenue generated from television contracts and merchandise. O'Bannon said that student-athletes are essentially professionals, claiming, "I was an athlete masquerading as a student … I was there strictly to play basketball." Meanwhile, Knoll called the NCAA "a cartel that creates a price-fixing scheme among its members."
In response, the NCAA's lead lawyer, Glenn Pomerantz, asked O'Bannon to list the advantages he received from his playing days at UCLA, which Sports Illustrated lists as a free education, TV exposure, mentoring, training assistance and the opportunity to play against top competition. Pomerantz also claimed that O'Bannon's current views differ from a 2011 deposition he gave on the same subject.
U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken is overseeing the case, which will continue on July 10 with more testimony from Roger Noll.
Meanwhile, as the proceedings were beginning, the NCAA announced a settlement in a similar case, brought by former Arizona State and Nebraska quarterback Sam Keller. Keller had sued the NCAA in connection with unauthorized use of his likeness in college sports video games. According to lawyers from both sides, the proposed deal is for $20 million, which will be added to a $40 million settlement already reached with video game manufacturer Electronic Arts and Collegiate Licensing Co.
"It's a neat feeling," Keller told USA Today following the announcement. "It's a sense of accomplishment, this becoming the first time the NCAA is paying out for a product on the field. This is going to be the first of many dominoes to fall. It's an exciting time. The whole goal in (these lawsuits) is to change the landscape — to do what's fair and right. And I wish (the O'Bannon plaintiffs) the best of luck."

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is trying to prevent employers from getting around the new "play or pay" health benefits rules by reclassifying full-time workers as something else.
The IRS talk about methods for classifying specific types of workers, such as teachers, airline pilots and rehired workers, in the preamble to draft regulations for implementing the "shared responsibility" parts of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
The IRS also covers topics such as use of staffing agencies to avoid the PPACA benefits requirements and how to determine whether the benefits provided meet PPACA affordability standards.
IRS officials suggest in the preamble that employers and their advisers should avoid using complicated strategies to try to minimize the number of workers who are eligible for group health benefits under PPACA.
The IRS would take a dim view of an employer that failed to include travel hours in a sales rep's hours or preparation time in the hours of a college instructor, officials said in the shared responsibility draft regulations, which are set to appear in the Federal Register Wednesday.
IRS officials elaborate on the proposed regulations in a set of answers to frequently asked questions (FAQ).
When there are questions about how to count a worker's hours, the employer "must use a reasonable method for crediting hours of service," officials said in the preamble. "A method of crediting hours would not be reasonable if it took into account only some of an employee's hours of service." Officials said the IRS is working on a "general anti-abuse" rule to keep employers from using strategies such as employing a worker directly for 20 hours per week and employing the worker through a staffing agency for the rest of the week.
PPACA calls for employers with more than 50 full-time equivalent employees to provide a minimum level of health benefits for year-round employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Workers who do not offer the minimum level of coverage, or fail to ensure that the coverage meets affordability requirements, are supposed to pay penalties. PPACA added a section to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC), IRC Section 4980H, that governs how the IRS is supposed to go about applying the shared responsibility penalty provisions.
Comments on the proposed regulations are due March 18.
The IRS is planning to hold a public hearing on the draft April 23.
The IRS wrote the proposed regulations after asking members of the public to react to notices describing the general approach the agency might take in the regulations.
In response to questions about how the IRS would interpret the "30 hours per week" rule, officials said the agency would view a worker who worked 130 hours in a month as being comparable to a worker who worked 30 hours per week.
One controversy has centered on the term "affordability." The IRS has proposed that employers be allowed to treat coverage as affordable if a worker's share of the cost of worker-only coverage were less than or equal to 9.5 percent of the worker's W-2 wages. Workers and group representing workers argued that the IRS suggestion could cause problems for workers with families, who might be able to afford coverage for themselves but not for spouses and children.
Employer groups said employers would have no practical way to know anything about a worker's overall household income.
In the proposed regulations, the IRS said it wants to let an employer stick with W-2 wages and the worker's share of the cost of self-only coverage when complying with the shared responsibility requirements.
Workers will be able to use their overall family size and total household income when they are trying to qualify for public health programs and government help with paying for private coverage, officials said

Fifty years later, memories of JFK's death stir emotions for local readers
Roberta Kerr was a junior at Milton High School and was attending band practice.
Charles Socwell was making a delivery to an Indianford restaurant.
Teacher Virginia Anderson was getting ready to give a vocabulary test in English class.
Without hesitating, people of a certain age remember what they were doing Nov. 22, 1963—the day President John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas.
The Gazette recently asked readers for memories of the tragedy 50 years ago this Friday. Here is some of what they had to say.
"Our band had a special connection to Kennedy, as it had marched in his inaugural parade in January 1961," Kerr said. "Senior class members who participated were still in the band."
After news of Kennedy's shooting reached the school, students played music during band practice, but they were anxious. By the end of the hour, an announcement came that the president was dead.
The tragedy shocked Socwell.
"My legs turned to jelly right there on the spot," he said.
Since the assassination, Socwell has been to Dealey Plaza and the Texas School Book Depository in Dallas twice.
"It is the most chilling experience I have ever known," he said. "I've seen people get off the elevator, turn around and get right back on. I've been told some people just slide down the wall, sit on the floor and cry. Since this happened, I have read countless books on the assassination, and nobody will ever convince me that Lee Harvey Oswald shot President Kennedy."
At Janesville High School, Anderson recalls Principal Kenneth Bick interrupting class and announcing that the president had been shot.
"For a moment, there was stunned silence in my classroom," she said. "Then everyone began to talk, voicing shock and disbelief. My own stomach knotted up. I was not particularly a Kennedy supporter, but he was such an intelligent, enthusiastic, charismatic young president with a beautiful wife and young family."
Anderson wondered how such a tragedy could happen in the United States.
During the weekend, images of the shooting appeared on television, while Anderson tried to get chores done at home.
"Every time I walked by the TV, tears blurred my vision and I accomplished little," Anderson said. "It was a sad, sad time in our nation's history and extremely emotionally draining for me."
Dave Wedeward, retired Gazette sports editor, recalls that Nov. 22, 1963, was to be the long-awaited day of the first varsity basketball game in Edgerton High School's new gym. He was home from college and was preparing to cover the event for the Edgerton Reporter.
"Shortly after 12:30 p.m., I called a close friend," Wedeward said. "His father told me President Kennedy had been shot. My first thought was that JFK probably had been hit in the arm or something. By 1 p.m., Walter Cronkite delivered the sad and astounding reality—President Kennedy had died. For myself, along with the rest of the country, it took hours, even days, to grasp the reality."
That night's game was postponed as thoughts and prayers of people turned away from sports.
"For many who lived through the era of the early 1960s, regardless of their political preferences, President John F. Kennedy still is never far from their thoughts," Wedeward said. "He was elected and inaugurated during my senior year of high school, and the ideals and hope he brought to us for the challenging 1960s remain there for all generations."
Marlene Churchill of Janesville remembers visiting a girlfriend at Purdue University in Lafayette, Ind., on the historic day.
"When I got to the dorm there was a very solemn feeling of sadness everywhere," she said. "Students were gathered in small groups in a daze and talking quietly, much like in a funeral parlor. Everywhere you looked, there were easels with President Kennedy's picture and black cloths draped on them."
Annabelle Burwitz of Beloit could not answer her 8-year-old son when he started to cry and asked: "Why would someone want to kill our president, Mama?"
"How very sad for our country," Burwitz said. "Maybe our good ol' United States of America would not be in such a mess if John F. Kennedy had lived."
Peg Slaback of Janesville said her heart still hurts when she remembers JFK's shooting. She empathized with first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
"My family loved and related to the Kennedy family," she said. "They were young as we were. I could only imagine Jackie's pain." �
Robert Holden of Janesville met John Kennedy in Milwaukee in April 1960, when he was campaigning for the presidency.
"I was a carrier in the Orfordville Post Office," he said. "Kennedy submitted my name to Congress for approval as postmaster at Orfordville the day after he was sworn in as president."
Of the shooting, Holden said: "My wife was so stunned by the news that she stopped smoking that day, never to smoke again."
Kennedy was the first president that Phyllis Knopes of Janesville ever voted for.
"I grew up at a time when the occupants of the White House were all considered 'old fogies,' and it seemed great to have such a beautiful, young family move in," she said.
Knopes was a 27-year-old legal secretary, married with two small children, when Kennedy was shot. Her son had an ear infection, and she went to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription.
"When we walked in, there was a small black and white TV on," she said. "I remember a lot of confusion, and people crying because it had just been announced that the President died."
Len Griffith of Centerville, Ohio, worked in his children's clothing store in Janesville's Creston Park Shopping Center.
"The Kroger Store in the shopping center had an intercom system, and every store in the center had a ceiling speaker," he recalls. "Howard Hessel, then manager of the Kroger Store, turned on the radio news. The news report was piped into every store, and everyone in our store stood motionless in disbelief."
Dennis Schwartz of Brodhead was in seventh-grade literature class at Brodhead Middle School when he heard the news.
"The assassination was the beginning of the end of innocence for me," he said. "Up until this time in my life, it seemed that there was only good in America, nothing really bad ever happened. It was quickly followed by Vietnam, the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy, race riots and Watergate."
Patricia Shuler worked at the drive-up window of the Merchants & Savings Bank, Janesville, when a customer told her about the shooting. He turned up the volume on his radio so she could hear the news.
"We must have listened for 10 minutes or more," the Janesville woman said. "Finally, I went back to counting money, and wonders never cease. I balanced. The rest of the day was just a blur. It was as though one of my own family had died."
Larry Malsch of Delavan was on active duty at the Great Lakes Naval Training Center when his instructor announced the terrible news.
"There was total silence as we left the classroom," he said. "Everyone was in shock. I came home for the weekend to be with family. I felt the assassination of President Kennedy changed our future, and then the death of his brother Robert was the second dagger."
Arlen Iverson's brother-in-law was killed in action in Vietnam before Christmas 1969.
Iverson and his wife, Bunny, believe that if President Kennedy had lived, he would not have involved the United States in Vietnam as much as his replacement, President Lyndon Johnson, did.
"Perhaps," Iverson of Janesville said, "my brother-in-law would still be with us."
This article was revised Nov. 29, 2013, to reflect the following correction:
Robert Holden of Janesville met John F. Kennedy in Milwaukee in April 1960, when he was campaigning for the presidency. The date was incorrect in an earlier version of this article.

Yoshida in Japan: Renesas exodus is GloFos gain
15 comments post a comment
GlobalFoundries is scooping up former Renesas engineers who were pushed out as the Japanese company remakes itself.
Word of layoffs is depressing and heart-wrenching, especially so when it takes place on the massive scale that hit workers at Renesas Electronics.
Last fall, close to 7,500 employees (7,446 to be exact) --aged 40 and abovetook the early retirement package. The ailing Japanese chipmaker last month announced further cuts, with plans to eliminate another 3,000 jobs.
Conventional wisdom dictates that many of those thousands of people may not be able to find another full-time job ever again, despite their lifetime dedication to the company.
Think again. The key word missing in the sentence above is, in Japan.
At least hundreds, if not thousands, of skilled semiconductor engineers who are retiring early from Renesas will end up working for chip companies outside Japan.
As word on the street in Tokyo goes, GlobalFoundries turns out to be one of several astute companies aggressively pursuing skilled Japanese engineering professionals. Theyre keeping a close eye on the Renesas exodus.
Since breaking ground on Fab 8 in Saratoga, NY., GlobalFoundries has hired just over 2,000 people in New York state. The company expects that to increase to about 3,000 by the end of 2014. About 90 percent of the companys New York workforce is composed of people in technical and operations roles. Asked about hiring Japanese engineers, a company spokesman noted, We definitely hired some skilled professionals from Japan, but I cant provide details of numbers or percentages.
Thirty-five Japanese engineers have already been hired by GlobalFoundries regional office in Japan, according to an industry source based in Tokyo, who spoke on condition of anonymity. These engineers are getting prepped to be sent to New York as an initial batch, with as many as another 100 to 200 to follow, the source said.

XRDL is a language and tools for automatic client generation for XML-RPC services. It provides a way to create simple service definitions for XML-RPC services. It is inspired by WSDL, but aims for ease of use in the spirit of XML-RPC. It supports exporting complex (recursive) types, as well as methods. It includes a number of tools, allowing automatic XRDL generation for servers and clients written in PHP or C++/Qt.
Roster is DNS management software for use with Bind 9. It is licensed under the BSD license. It is written in Python, and uses a MySQL database with an XML-RPC front-end. It contains a set of command line user tools that connect to the XML-RPC front-end. The config files for BIND are generated from the MySQL database, so a live MySQL database is not needed. The software has four basic components. The core includes the database interface and core API, and contains the authorization layer. The server is an SSL enabled multi-threaded XML-RPC server. It also contains the LDAP authentication layer. The config manger creates BIND config files using the core API, and handles pushing the files to their appropriate servers. The user tools contain over 20 tools to create, list, and remove records, zones, views, DNS servers, DNS server sets, groups, users, and the assignments between them all. There is currently support for views, many DNS servers in many configurations, IPv6, user/group authorization, LDAP authentication, and Unicode hosts.
PDFXMLRPC enables client-server PDF creation from text over the Internet or an intranet, running over XML-RPC and HTTP. It consists of a library that you can use to create an XML-RPC PDF server, a library that you can use to create an XML-RPC PDF client, and clients created using these libraries. The client can send text to the server repeatedly, using XML-RPC method calls. The server converts that text to PDF content, and in response to a different method call from the client, sends that PDF content back to the client. The client then saves that PDF content to a local PDF file.
The Java Simple Plugin Framework is a framework for creating and using plugins for programs written in Java. It was built to reduce development time while increasing code maintainability of small to medium sized projects. It completely hides the implementation details of components, so you only use their interfaces. It is only 590k in size. Components may be loaded with only two lines of code. It makes heavy use of annotations. Through usage of generics, it is usually type safe. There are additional plugins to export other plugins by JavaScript, JSON, LipeRMI, XMLRPC, Delight XMLRPC, or ERMI. Plugins may be discovered on the local network through ZeroConf. There is initial support for RDF.
Wired-php is an XML-RPC client for interfacing with WuBook WebServices. Wired-php allows you to export booking online steps for tourism properties and it can act as a proxy gateway to update contingents on IDS (Internet Distributon System) via the Channel Manager WooDoo. The intended audience is tourism sites and property management system developers. It should be used to implement online booking for tourism properties or to manage room contingents on the Internet.
NiftyName is a system for creating and managing virtual machine pools and all related components such as storage, private and public networks. It is intended to be used as a free alternative to Amazon EC2 and Microsoft Azure. All components have been designed for multi-site active redundancy, though this is not supported yet. Its architecture is based on documented XML-RPC (SSL) Web services, so you can make your own derivative tools for it. Console and GTK+ client applications are provided. VMs are based on KVM. It supports IPv6, private VLANs, multiple interfaces, user/client management, permissions, and roles.
LastFmLib.net lets you access all Web services provided by Last.fm. This also includes an implementation of the Audioscrobbler 1.2.1 submissions protocol and radio api. Also, LastFmLib.net provides a set of useful classes, e.g for caching requests and pictures and for accessing simple request easily via the LastFmClient class. The library should be fully Mono compatible (the test with MoMa was positive).
A utility that strips or converts ANSI code sequences.
A PHP application framework.
