Great for weekend climbing

Comments about Black Diamond Speed 40 Pack:
Overall, this pack provides a great amount of room for carrying all my shoes, rope, harness, draws, and food. The comfort is there and it looks real spiffy. I use this pack for my weekend trips to the Red River Gorge. Since I don't trad climb I don't really have that much gear to haul, but it would be nice to have more pockets and places to organize gear. Also, the pack is not waterproof, which would have been super helpful last weekend when it rained the whole day.

Precious Moments Christmas Eve Drive
My friend, Roy Swanson, alias Santa, lived in San Francisco many years ago. One Christmas he decided to cut the top off his wagon. You might ask yourself, why? Well, he wanted to load it with mega stuff and drive through all areas of San Francisco on Christmas Eve dressed as Santa, that's why! He would go into all areas of the city from the rich as well as somewhat dangerous areas and everyone would stop what they were doing to wave at "Santa". There is nothing like Santa, who can bring a smile to the face of each person, no matter whom or where they are in life. Oh what a magical night! - Pipka.
This is the third figurine of a five year series of Santa traveling around the world in different forms of transportation. Each Santas Journey figurine is limited to 950, making it a treasured piece of art. The first in this series was the Antique Car Santa (#10120) and the second being Santa's Red Truck (#10126). A unique feature is the novelty lighted lantern on each years sculpture; this battery operated lantern is intended for temporary, novelty lighting use. It is not intended for a nightlight. Popularity of this piece may warrant additional editions. If this occurs, future editions will be marked accordingly.$78.95

Winston Wolfe said:Over the last month I have become a victim of a clever Eastern European scam while out shopping. Simply dropping into Asda for a bit of shopping turned out to be quite an experience. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you or your friends.
Here's how the scam works:
...Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year
-old girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen, almost falling out of their skimpy T-shirts. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to the town centre.
You agree and they both get in the back seat. On the way, they start undressing, until both are completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you, and thrusting herself against you, while the other one steals your wallet!
I had my wallet stolen November 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th and 29th. On December 1st, 4th, 6th and twice yesterday. So please warn all the older men you know to be on the lookout for this scam. The best times seem to be just before lunch, and about 4:30 in the afternoon.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

The Himalayan Times
Kathmandu, November 28
Avalanches and floods pose special risks to densely populated
mountain regions, such as Nepal, where glaciers are retreating at
a rate of several metres every year, states the United Nation's
Human Development Report, released on Tuesday, which is
focused on climate change this year.
"Lakes formed by melting glacier waters are expanding at an
alarming rate. The Tsho Rolpa Lake being a case in point, having
increased more than seven-fold in the past 50 years," the report,
'Fighting Climate Change: Human Solidarity in a Divided World',
It also stresses that the time and energy being spent for fuel wood
collection is also affecting Nepal's productivity. "In Guatemala and
Nepal, wood expenditure represents 10-15 per cent of total
household expenditure in the poorest quintile. Collection time for
fuel wood has significant opportunity costs, limiting opportunities
for women to engage in income generating activities. More
broadly, inadequate access to modern energy services restricts
productivity and helps keep people poor," the report says.
The report also appreciates the attempts being made in Nepal. "In
Nepal, communities in flood-prone areas are building early warning
systems - such as raised watchtowers - and providing labour and
material to shore up embankments to prevent glacial lakes from
bursting their banks," it says, adding that farmers across the
developing world are responding to emerging climate threats by
drawing on traditional cultivation technology.
If climate change is not properly addressed in South and East Asia,
changes in rainfall, temperatures and the availability of water
would cause great loses in productivity of food staples, thereby
thwarting efforts to cut rural poverty, it states, adding,"Central
Asia, Northern China and the northern part of the South Asia are
particularly vulnerable to retreating glaciers".
The report makes a case for the urgency with which climate
change needs to be addressed. "Time matters for all of us. Today
we are living with what we did yesterday/ tomorrow we will all live
with what we do today. We need to take action now," it says.

"Well, every time you turn me down, you talk about how I was your student or you're too old for me or something. So, I just thought you ought to know. It's been ten fucking years, and you should get the fuck over it," Harry said with a shrug.

If you look at most medical news stories years later, there is often little to show for them. The latest "groundbreaking research" has gone nowhere and the news has moved on to other "breakthroughs." Why does this happen?
In some ways, the answer is predictable. It happens because medical research is designed and performed by fallible humans using imperfect methods, because the news media want to attract and hold onto an audience, and because we all want hopeful, positive results. Each of these factors is at play and each plays havoc with our ability to tell the difference between an interesting but preliminary finding, with uncertain importance, and the "next big thing."
Of these, perhaps the one factor that dooms many scientific studies and is most difficult to eliminate is error. The fact is, no matter how careful and talented researchers may be, error is common in medical research.
Types of Error
In broad terms, medical researchers identify two main types of error:
Researchers take pains to minimize the chances of either type of error. For example, a study will try to anticipate every potential confounder. Once information about these factors is collected, there are statistical methods to account for them, eliminating their contribution to the results.
Frequently, however, there is an important variable that was not anticipated, because our knowledge of the relevant factors is simply incomplete. And studies may not recruit enough subjects to "even out" the occasional unusual or irrelevant result.
Back to top
The Limits of a Limited Time Frame
Because studies are expensive, require volunteers and the work of many physicians, nurses, pharmacists and other health professionals, they often last for the minimum amount of time thought necessary to answer the question of interest.
While studies lasting only a few months or up to a few years are common, we really need information about the longer term because:
Short-term studies are not reliable measures of the long-term. Unless the disease or symptom is a short-term issue, the inadequate follow-up of many studies is a significant limitation and source of error.
Yet, there are major challenges to performing long-term research, including lack of personnel (who change jobs or graduate), difficulty keeping track of the volunteers (who move away or grow weary of the monitoring), or changes in technology. For example, it may be impossible to compare the results of an MRI today with results from 15 years ago because the quality of images obtained has improved over that span of time.
Could You Repeat the Question?
Research begins by asking a question and then designing a way to answer it. But because of how research is performed, the question may change to be something related that is easier to study, but not exactly the ideal question. For example, there is a lot of focus on cholesterol, but it's cardiovascular disease and death that we really care about. Knowing that there's a connection between cholesterol and these other important outcomes has led researchers to focus on cholesterol results. So, instead of asking, "Does this medication prevent heart attack and prolong life?" we ask, "Does this medicine reduce cholesterol?"
Relying on research that uses "proxies" (a variable that "fills in" for the one you're really interested in) is not as reliable as those that directly look at the key endpoints of interest.
Animal studies are another way that the question is revised for the sake of study design. If you want to ask, "Does this medicine prevent age-related changes in the brain?" you can actually examine the brains of rats and mice in a way that you cannot for humans. So, the question becomes, "Does this medicine prevent age-related changes in the brains of mice?"
Finally, the question may be shaped based on who is paying for the research. While you may want to know, "Does this medicine work better than another medicine?" a pharmaceutical company may change it to "Is our medicine better than nothing?" Why? Because that's the minimum requirement of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for approving a drug and allowing it to be marketed in this country.
That question may be much less interesting — do you really want to take a medicine that's "better than nothing" or the best one among all options for treating your problem?
Medical research is vitally important, but it has some significant limitations, and some of them contribute to how the medical news you hear today may be contradicted by other research next week or next year. Here's my advice: Remain skeptical, recognize that it's rarely a good idea to bank on a single study, and keep in mind that there could always be error, no matter how good the research (or the researcher) sounds.
Someday, there may be major changes in our system of funding and executing medical research. We need funding sources that do not alter the question that is asked, we need better ways to minimize error, and we need research designs with a long-term vision. Increasingly, regulators (such as the FDA) are asking pharmaceutical companies to study new drugs even after their approval. This is a promising development. Still, medical research will never eliminate all sources of error. So, it's best to take your medical news with a grain of salt — or perhaps a couple. It's likely that your doctor already does.

(1)- Truncus arteriosus
Slide Shows
(1)- Slide show: Common types of congenital heart defects
Truncus arteriosus
If your baby has truncus arteriosus, one very large vessel leads out of the heart, instead of two separate vessels, and there's a hole in the wall between the ventricles (ventricle septal defect). The oxygen-rich blood (red) and the oxygen-poor blood (blue) mix together, resulting in blood with an insufficient oxygen supply (purple) for the body.

Editing XAML
While you can use any text editor to edit an Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) document, there are advantages to using Microsoft Expression Blend:
In Expression Blend, you can easily build and run your XAML document (F5) to see the results of your changes.
Expression Blend updates syntax errors in the Results pane when you save the file or when you switch between views (Design view and XAML view).
In XAML view, XAML elements are color-coded for easy identification. You can also use the Find feature to locate specific text, or use the Go To feature to navigate to a specific line.
In Design view, you can design your application visually and let Expression Blend generate the XAML for you. You can also use the View XAML feature to quickly navigate to the XAML for any element in your document.
Note: |
We recommend that you have previous experience working with XAML before you begin to edit XAML documents in a text editor or in XAML view in Expression Blend. Editing XAML directly may result in parsing errors in your application that you will have to fix before Expression Blend can correctly display your documents on the artboard in Design view or before you can build and run the application. With this caution in mind, working between Design view and XAML view can be an effective method for learning the basics of XAML. |
Note: |
You can also edit XAML documents in Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, which includes the same features as the XAML view in Expression Blend 2. |
You can use XAML view in Expression Blend to make changes to the XAML in your Expression Blend projects. Access XAML view by clicking the XAML tab on the right side of the artboard in the Expression Blend workspace. Changes that you make in XAML view are automatically updated in Design view.
In XAML view, you can type in the code for new elements, or you can select existing code and then cut or copy from it or paste into it, just as you would in a word processing program. The following image shows text selected in XAML view.
In addition to the normal Clipboard tasks that you can perform in XAML view, you can also go to specific lines in the XAML or find and replace text, by using the Go To, Find, Find Next, and Replace commands on the Edit menu. For more information, see Find and replace and Go to a specific line in this User Guide.
For the syntax of individual controls, see the Control Library topic on MSDN, or search for XAML elements and attributes in the Class Library reference on MSDN.
When you work in Design view, Expression Blend generates XAML for you. In Design view, you can add new elements from the Toolbox, bind data to them, style them, animate them, configure them to respond to user actions, and so on, and Expression Blend will continue to update the XAML for each part of your design.
Access Design view by selecting the Design tab on the right side of the artboard in the Expression Blend workspace. Changes that you make in Design view are automatically updated in XAML view.
The following image shows Expression Blend in Design view on the left and in XAML view on the right. In this image, a Rectangle has been added to the document in Design view, and Expression Blend has generated the XAML for the rectangle in XAML view.
The connection between Expression Blend Design view and XAML view
When you work in Design view, you can quickly view the XAML for a specific element by right-clicking the element on the artboard or under Objects and Timeline in the Interaction panel, and then clicking View XAML. This will automatically switch you to XAML view and will highlight the XAML for the selected object.
For more information about creating your application in Design view in Expression Blend, see Layout, Drawing shapes and paths, 3D, and other related topics in this User Guide.

Enough is enough. These clowns are making our city a laughing stock. The city manager is a child, he needs constant positive affirmation and still isn't qualified to do the job for which he was hired. The city of PSL needs an economic development person like I need a hole in my head. The county has one of these creatures and they have done zero in the way of economic development and at what cost. I repeat my stance from months ago, I will do the job, please don't pay me a salary, just pay reasonable expenses. When and if I bring sustainable jobs to the area pay me a commission. No results = no remuneration.
Since Cooper left we have been the laughing stock, I have no clue if that is because of his successors insecurity or lack of experience. My own thoughts are that voters don't give a darn when they vote because they are ignorant of the values and attributes of the candidates until that candidate causes a problem after they are elected.
Our schools are in turmoil, the city of PSL is a joke and our elections office, well lets just say you get exactly what you vote for.
There was a time in this country when you couldn't vote unless you contributed. I say if you have no job, personal income or are not a home owner at the time of the election you have no voice. Why should I as a hardworking homeowner have my life controlled by people who do not contribute. Now some will whine that this unfair but imagine just for a minute how different the political landscape would be if that were the case.
My other gripe is term limits, all elected officials should serve a minimum of four years. They can seek re-election and attend fundraisers in there own time, i.e. after a normal working day ends or during recess. Not during the time I am paying them to do there job. If successful in re-election they then serve for another 4 years and then that is it, out. They can seek office again 4 years later. There are far too many career politicians, it does our local, state and federal community no good to have elections every two years.
Finally, fully automatic weapons were around 80 years after the 2nd amendment was written, no one challenged them then so why now. Guns do not kill people, people do. The one common thread through all of these latest shootings besides the sadness of it all is, mental illness and a lack of resources to ensure that the few bad people don't spoil it for the rest of us. It is a specious argument that says fewer guns of one sort or another will reign in these atrocities. To say that the government can protect us from this is an out and out lie. You only have to examine the Fort Hood shootings or Fast and Furious to see that the government and its agencies cannot be trusted with any form of oversight.

Washington, DC Wednesday, October 17, 2012
A former chief CIA analyst joined a group of foreign policy experts at the The Middle East Policy Council to look at some of the challenges facing the next White House, including Iran's nuclear program, Israeli-Palestinian tensions and the continuing unrest in Egypt and Syria.
Participants include: Paul Pillar, former national intelligence officer at the National Intelligence Council; Scott McConnell, founding editor of The American Conservative; Jocelyne Cesari, co-director of SAIS Global Politics and Religion initiative; and Nathaniel Kern, president of Foreign Reports.
Middle East Policy Council Executive Director Thomas R. Mattair moderated the discussion.

The sci-fi action film ''The Core,'' begins with a portentous overture over the Paramount mountain range and then the camera plunges into inner Earth and slams into the movie's title logo.
The film is frequently hilarious -- occasionally, but not often, on purpose. For the most part, it is monumentally dumb. The director, Jon Amiel, has made an old-fashioned disaster movie -- a combination of ''Fantastic Voyage'' and ''The Towering Inferno.'' Apparently, he feels a whole generation of moviegoers has been denied sub-mediocrities like these.
''The Core,'' which opens nationwide today, has the road-show corniness of a Cinerama picture -- it's as if someone had decided to deliver the slow-motion oddness of an episode of ''Gumby'' to the big screen. The premise is simple, if not simplistic: ''The core of the Earth has stopped spinning,'' says Josh Keyes (Aaron Eckhart), a hunky geophysicist with the meticulously tousled head of an alternative pop star.
''Three months and we're back in the Stone Age, a year and we're fried,'' says the eminent scientist and braggart Dr. Zimsky (Stanley Tucci), who seems to be wearing Millard Fillmore's hair. If the scientists in this movie devoted as much time to working in their fields as they spend getting their coiffures styled, maybe the Earth wouldn't be in so much trouble.

I'm rolling down the windows.
Keep forgettin to take pictures of the jumpline I'm working on but I'll get on it.
Not always, I have plenty of good jumps, but sometimes I even see the guys on the 60 footers do this a little bit when they are doing straight airs. I am guessing there is an instructor knowledge thing here. Am I too much in the back seat? Or something...

In response to tacobreath's comment:
Maybe I`m not searching in the right place but it sure seems like starvation in the US is an ideologicall myth (yet another) on the Left.
Starvation is simply what would happen if people like Paul Ryan got their way, and a budget was passed that eventually left for domestic spending a smaller dollar amount than it now costs to run the FBI.....
Because then the entire food-provision arm of the safety net would have to shut down. And no, don't give me that charity nonsense. That it is nonsense is why these programs started in the first place.
Nonetheless, I'm willing to bet that some of the homeless are pretty close to starvation but likely die of disease first - the ones too mentally ill to seek help, etc.
However, how much "hunger" do you think should be tolerable? If a single mom's kid eats one decent meal a day? Two?
As someone who has also worked quite hard, I simply do not see that in the richest country on Earth, we should be saying "eh, as long as they aren't dying in the streets, it's enough".
I'd be all behind stronger enforcement to cut down on abuse of the programs. But I want the programs there.
Humans have a nasty habit of putting too little stock in circumstance when they have worked hard and gotten ahead.
No hunger should be tolerable. None! That`s why I give a ton to charity and certainly do my part to support these programs. We have to have these programs but, we have to stop the abuse. We also should be striving to reduce the numbers on SNAP and EBT by growing and creating jobs. Less dependency is a good thing.
I`m not so sure some of the 47% think this way.
Maybe we should start making things in this country again. Maybe there should be higher tarrifs on imported goods. Maybe business shouldn't be allowed to hire undocumented workers.Maybe CEOs should be held more accountable and not offshore production because it makes their bottom line look better.
Absolutely agree! Let`s start with Jeff Immelt from GE. One of America`s wealthiest companies, Immelt made $29 million last year and GE paid ZERO U.S Taxes.
Oh......and BTW, he`s Obama`s Job Czar!
Sure! We can start with him, but let's not finish with him. I gotta say, I've new respect for you! I thought you were one of those people who thought the rich had gotten there because of "hard work and being job creators" and that taxing large corporations stifled expansion. But now? I respect you to a certain extent!
rich people didn't get rich due to hard work and being job creators?
So, are you saying successful people are bad people? Did all of them become rich solely by taking advantage of people? If you are rich, you got there through nefarious means?
typical liberal illogic, that rich people are all Snidley Whiplash's.
i smell jealousy. And a poor understanding of what it takes to be successful.
Hey Skooter, slow down there. Go back and read the thread. I'm not saying successful people are all bad no more than I'm saying they're all good. But sure, some of them get there through nefarious means. Off-shore work or profits? Hire illegals at sub par wages? Cut workers hours to avoid paying for benefits? All for your bottom line? Well yes, I've got a problem with being "successful". I guess the definition of "success" varies from person to person. Is it how much money you make? Is it pride in a job well done? Is it having children? Is it a big house? Is it being in love with someone who loves you? Is it happiness? Or is it simply being content?

Massachusetts Home Sales Up Again in August for 14th Straight Month
Over 5,000 homes sold for only 2nd time since June 2010
August 2012 Housing Data
WALTHAM, Mass.
– September 25, 2012 – The Massachusetts Association of REALTORS® (MAR) reported today that August marks the 14th straight month that single-family home sales have gone up compared to the same month the year before. Homes sold top 5,000-mark for only second time since June 2010 and the end of the homebuyer tax credit. Condominium sales were also up from August 2011. Single-family median prices were essentially flat, while condominium median prices were up compared to last year.
"Closing activity picked up in August as buyers, who were able to take advantage of the favorable market, wanted to get into their homes prior to the start of the school year," said 2012 MAR President Trisha McCarthy, broker at Keller Williams Realty in Newburyport. "Prices continue to reflect a leveling out with single-family home prices essentially flat from the year before."
There were 5,077 detached single-family homes sold this August, a 22.8 percent increase from the 4,136 homes sold the same time last year. This is the 14th straight month of year-over-year increases. This is also the second time in three months that closed sales went over 5,000 homes. The last two times prior to this happening were the final month of the home buyer tax credit in June 2010 and then in June 2007. On a month-to-month basis, home sales were UP 6.5 percent from 4,767 homes sold this past July.
The median selling price for single-family homes in August was $317,750 which was essentially flat from $317,500 in August 2011. On a month-to-month basis, the August median selling price was down 2.2 percent from $325,000 in July 2012. This is the second straight month-to-month decline.
The August condominium market was up 25.2 percent compared to the same time last year (from 1,650 units sold in 2011 to 2,066 units sold in 2012). This is the 13th month of the last 14 that condominium sales have been up. This is the second of the last three months that the number of units sold topped 2,000 units. The last time this happened was June 2010, the final month to close on a home to take advantage of the tax credit. On a month-to-month basis, condominium sales were up 11.9 percent compared to the 1,846 units sold this past July.
Condominium median selling prices in August were up less than one percent (0.7%) from the August 2011 median price (from $290,000 to $292,000). This is the sixth straight month that monthly median prices have been up. On a month-to-month basis, the median selling price of a condominium was down 2.7 percent from a July 2012 median of $300,000. This is the second straight month-to-month price decrease.

The inventory of single-family homes as of August 2012 decreased 22.00 percent from August 2011 (33,905 listings in 2011 to 26,459 listings in 2012) which translates into 7.2 months of supply in August 2012. This is down from 11.0 months of supply last year and also down from 8.0 months in July 2012. Inventory has gone down seven of the last 10 months. This was also the largest single month year-over-year decrease since 2007.
The inventory of condominiums on the market in August was down 30.1 percent compared to the year before (11,284 listings in 2011 to 7,882 listings in 2012), which translates into 5.6 months of supply, which is down from 9.4 months in August 2011 and down from 6.5 months in July.
"These drops in months of supply are typically a result of big uptick in closings in a single month," said McCarthy. "However, escalating rent prices could certainly be fueling the increased condo-market activity."
Detached single-family homes stayed on the market an average of 103 days in August 2012, which was down one day from 106 days in August 2011. Condos stayed on the market an average of 91 days, which was down from 103 days in August 2011. On a month-to-month basis, days on market for single-family homes were up from 98 days in July while condos were down from 93 days.

Questions - call 614-265-6901
Compliance Although DMRM provides minimum reclamation standards and permitting requirements, the ways and means in which companies achieve compliance can vary greatly. Thus, the degree, effort and innovation for compliance can result in exemplary performance and in financial savings to the company. The nominated reclamation work will be reviewed to determine how the operator's efforts exceed the spirit and intent of the law. Also the compliance record of the particular operation will be examined to assure that there are no outstanding violations and to determine that there is not past record of poor cooperation in abating violations.
Post-mining Land Use Preplanning for the desired post-mining land use (including vegetation planting, evaluation procedures, reporting methods) can result in effective and timely release of bond and in accomplishment of the post mining land use. This criterion will consider that success of vegetation and erosion control and the degree to which the post mining land use has been established, including innovative land use planning and the stability of the site on both a short- and long-term basis.
Innovative Practices Creative development and application of new technologies or techniques can result in resolution of reclamation problems, consequently resulting in substantial reclamation cost savings and environmental benefits. This criterion will also examine the presence of any long-term benefits to the surrounding community and the increased awareness of the law.
Measurable Results (e.g. timely bond request/release, off-site impacts, complaint resolution, timely compliance to NOVs, number and/or scope of ARPs, timely submission of water quality data, timely submission of annual maps, etc.)

Electron transport chain Overview of the Electron Transport Chain
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- After being done with glycolysis and the Kreb's Cycle,
- we're left with 10 NADHs and 2 FADH2s
- and I told you that these are going to be used in the Electron Transport Chain
- and they're all sitting in the matrix of our mitochondria
- and I said that they're going to be used in the
- Electron Transport Chain in order to actually generate ATP.
- So that's what I'm going to focus on in this video--the Electron Transport Chain.
- And just so you know, a lot of this stuff is known,
- but some of the details are actually current areas of research.
- People have models and they're trying to substantiate
- the models, but things are happening at such a small
- scale here, that people can just look at the evidence, some
- of it of which is indirect, and say this is probably
- what's happening. Most of this is very well established,
- but some of the exact mechanisms--for example--how exactly some of the proteins work--
- aren't completely understood. So I think it's very important
- for you to understand that this is kind of at the cutting edge.
- You're already there.
- So the basic idea here is that the NADHs--and that's where
- I'll focus--FADH2 is kind of the same idea, although
- it's electrons are at a slightly lower energy state, so they
- won't produce quite as many ATPs. Each NADH--maybe I'll write it here--
- each NADH is going to be, as you'll see, indirectly responsible
- for the production of three ATPs, and each
- FADH2, in a very efficient cell, in both of these cases,
- will be indirectly responsible for the production of 2 ATPs.
- And the reason why this guy produces fewer ATPs
- is because the electrons that he has going into the Electron
- Transport Chain are at a slightly lower energy level
- than the ones from NADH.
- So in general, I just said indirectly, how does this whole business work?
- Well in general, NADH when it gets oxidized
- So, NADH... remember Oxidation is the losing of electrons
- or the losing of Hydrogens that happen to have electrons
- we can write its half reaction like this
- its oxidation reaction like this
- you'll have some NAD plus which you can then go and use
- back in the Kreb cycle and in glycolysis
- you have some NAD plus, you'll have a proton right
- a positive hydrogen ion is just a proton
- and then you'll have two electrons
- This is the oxidation of NADH
- Oxidation of NADH
- It's losing these two electrons
- Oxidation is losing electrons. OIL RIG
- Oxidation is losing electrons or you can imagine
- it's losing Hydrogens from which it can hog electrons
- Either one of those is the case
- Now, this is really the first step of the electron transport chain
- These electrons are transported out of the NADH
- Now, the last step of the Electron Transport Chain is you have 2 electrons
- and you can use the same 2 electrons if you'd like
- 2 electrons plus 2 Hydrogen protons
- now obviously if you just add these two together
- you're gonna have 2 Hydrogen atoms
- which is just a proton and an electron
- plus one Oxygen atom or so I could say
- one half of molecular oxygen
- that's the same thing as saying one Oxygen atom
- and you're going to produce
- If I have one Oxygen and two complete Hydrogens
- I'm left with water
- and you can view this we're adding electrons or we're gaining electrons
- to Oxygen. OIL RIG - Reduction Is Gaining electrons
- So, this is the reduction of Oxygen to water
- This is the oxidation of NADH to NAD+
- Now, these electrons that are popping out of--these electrons right here
- that are popping out of this NADH
- When they're in NADH, they're in a very high energy state
- and what happens over the course of the Electron Transport Chain
- is that these electrons get transported to a series of--I guess you could call them--
- transition molecules
- but these transition molecules -
- as the electrons go from one to the other, they go into slightly lower energy states
- and I won't even go into the details of these molecules
- Coenzyme Q, Cytochrome C
- and then they eventually end up right here
- and they're used to reduce your Oxygen into water
- Now, everytime an electron goes from a higher energy state
- to a lower energy state--and that's what it's doing over the course of this electron transport chain
- it's releasing energy
- so, energy is released from when you go from a higher state to a lower state
- with these electrons in NADH, they were in a higher state than they are when they bond to
- Coenzyme Q so they release energy then they go to Cytochrome C
- release energy
- now that energy is used to pump protons across the inner membrane of the mitochondria
- this is all very complicated sounding and you know, this is the cutting edge
- this is the cutting edge so it may be should sound a little complicated
- so, let me draw a mitochondria just so you know where we're operating
- that's its outer membrane
- and then its inner membrane will look like that
- maybe it looks just like that
- now let me zoom in on the membrane
- so let's say if I were to take-if I were to zoom in right there
- so if I were to zoomed that out, that box will look like this
- you have your cristae here--now I'm gonna draw it thick
- right, so I'm zooming in--this green line right here--I'm gonna draw it really thick
- colour it in with green just like that
- and then you have your outer membrane
- and this outer membrane, I could do it up here
- I'll just colour it in. You don't even have to see the outside of the outer membrane
- right here, this base right here, this is the outer compartment
- and then we learned in the last video, this base right here is the matrix
- this is the matrix
- this is where our Krebs cycle occurred and where a lot of our NADH
- or really all of our NADH is sitting
- so what happens is, everytime, NADH gets oxidized
- to NAD+ or each of the and the electrons keep transferring from one molecule to another
- it's occurring in these big protein complexes

Q: What's up with the Do Not Call list? In March, I made sure our home phone was registered, but ever since, we have been bugged by daily calls, sometimes as many as four to five in a day. I started writing down the number, time and date of the calls but don't know where to report it. - A.H., Pinehurst
A: You can file your complaint on the National Do Not Call registry website at donotcall.gov. Just click on the "File a complaint" button on the left and follow the directions. You can register a complaint with the registry if you keep getting calls after your number has been on the list for 31 days. Since you registered in March, the time for the calls to stop has passed.
Keep in mind that charities, political groups and telephone surveyors can keep calling you, even if your number is on the list. You also might get calls from companies with which you do business, unless you've asked them to stop calling you.
Not that we think it applies to you, but debt collectors also can call you even if you have registered your number. The registry's website has a link that lets you know your rights with debt collectors.
Q: If you are on disability and became a foster parent, would you continue to get your disability check and Medicare? - E.A., Maxton
A: Cumberland County Social Services could not recall ever licensing a foster parent who was on disability, though officials there said that didn't mean it's impossible. It would depend on your type of disability and how it might hinder you from carrying out the hefty responsibilities required to foster children.
As for the payments, that's a question for the Social Security office, and it would depend how board payments for foster care alter your particular level of income. Talk to the case worker who handles your disability case or call 800-772-1213. The wait time is shorter if you call after Tuesday.
Q: What is the best way to remove the smell of mothballs from clothes that were stored away? - A.M., Raeford
A: Unfortunately, there isn't a detergent that will remove the smell in one wash. After conferring with a local dry cleaner, we learned it will take multiple washes to remove the smell, whether the clothing is washed at home or professionally. Keep in mind, it may cost you more if you decide to take the clothes to the cleaners due to the multiple cleanings. Another way, which has been tried and tested by a 90-year-old great-grandmother we know, is letting the clothes "air out" outside and then wash them.

Fret not, Fort Bragg, over news that this year's Independence Day festivities are a casualty of sequestration.
John Meroski puts it into perspective.
"It's kind of like a little kid finding out there is no Santa," says Meroski, president of the Fayetteville Area Visitors and Convention Bureau. "Or that Christmas is canceled."
The news has come as a disappointment to folks on and off the military installation, because it has become a summer rite.
Tom McCollum is a post spokesman, and while he can appreciate the upsetting decision, he offers something of an alternative.
"This is a great time for our soldiers and our families to go out and start exploring other communities," McCollum says, "and finding out what they have to offer."
That may come as cold comfort, even in the summer heat, but give it some consideration. This might be a perfect time for this city to embrace all the more our military base, and Festival Park with the N.C. Veterans Park, Freedom Memorial Park and the Airborne & Special Operations Museum can add to that perfect scenario.
"We are working on expansion of the current N.C. Symphony concert in Festival Park," Mayor Tony Chavonne says about the annual event, perhaps hinting that the city shares in Fort Bragg's lament.
And Chavonne isn't the only mayor thinking about an alternative.
"This is something I was mulling over," says Chris Rey, Spring Lake's mayor, "but was going to pitch the idea to the entire mayors' coalition."
The coalition is comprised of Spring Lake, Hope Mills, Wade, Eastover, Fayetteville, Stedman, Falcon, Godwin and Linden.
"I don't know exactly what we would do," Rey says, "but I would like to include all nine municipalities in some kind of way."
Even Hope Mills Mayor Jackie Warner said Monday that her town is pondering the idea of nixing its annual fireworks showcase, opting for residents to witness the pyrotechnics at nearby J.P. Riddle Stadium.
Skyrockets and shooting stars, any mayor or municipality will tell you, don't come cheap.
And some financial expenditures, particularly in a difficult economic environment, have to give way, a la sequestration, also known as budget cutting.
Let's be candid here.
The world will not end if there is no Fourth of July celebration on Fort Bragg, as many will resort to neighborhood cookouts and sparklers of their own.
But itisFort Bragg, and it is because of men and women in uniform that liberty has such meaning to families on the base, and in surrounding communities.
Every kid deserves a hot dog slathered in mustard on the Fourth of July, a tiny American flag to wave and fireworks to marvel at on a father's shoulder.
"As you know," Chavonne says, "the city, Arts Council and major sponsor Reed-Lallier have done the annual Fourth concert with the N.C. Symphony for years. When we heard the news last week, we began discussions with Bragg officials. Expect final plans later this week."
Fret not, Fort Bragg.
This mayor and this city have your back.
