November 17, 1959: Coldest of a Cold Month
November 1959 was a true winter month in Upper Michigan and the 17th was its coldest day. The temperature fell to one-degree below zero in Marquette, while it reached 6 below in Iron Mountain. Houghton collected four consecutive record lows from the 15th through the 18th, with the 3 above zero reading on this date the coldest for so early in the season. Munising also set a record for early cold with a 3 below zero reading.
An extensive snow cover promoted the intense, early season cold. A major snowstorm on November 5-6, 1959 dropped snow over most areas, with over a foot reported in Marquette (Image 1 above). The snow stayed on the ground as temperatures remained well below average. Then another major storm hit on the 13th and 14th preceding the record mid-month cold blast.
Arctic high pressure developed over northwest Canada and dropped south bringing a cold wave to much of the country at mid-month. Lincoln, Montana reached an incredible 53 degrees below zero on November 16. That reading still stands as the coldest temperature ever recorded over the lower 48 in November. That cold air mass marched east and brought down records over Upper Michigan the next day.
The intense cold moderated only a little toward the end of the month. December 1959 saw a complete flip in the weather pattern. Mild Pacific air masses dominated, bringing the U.P. one of its warmest twelfth months on record.

Long Islanders fume over utility's storm response
HICKSVILLE, N.Y. (AP) — Priscilla Niemiera has a message for officials at the Long Island Power Authority.
"I'd tell them, get off your rear end and do your job," the 68-year-old Seaford resident said. Well, she would if she could get in touch with anyone.
Over the last two weeks since she lost power from Superstorm Sandy, she says, "every time I called they hung up on me."

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Hydropower Country Notes
It should be noted that Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth, with over 80% of its landmass receiving an annual average rainfall of less than 600 mm/yr and 50% less than 300 mm/yr. A high variability in rainfall, evaporation rates and temperatures also occurs between years, resulting in Australia having very limited and variable surface and groundwater resources.
The economically exploitable capability is estimated by Hydropower & Dams World Atlas as 30 TWh/yr, of which more than 60% has already been harnessed. According to the same source, no new hydro plants are under construction or planned.
The prospects for large-scale hydroelectric projects in Australia are limited, principally because most available sites have already been developed and, in some cases, have required a compromise to be reached on wilderness preservation or other environmental factors. There are, however, development opportunities associated with hydropower projects. These opportunities are in the refurbishment of existing plant and equipment. Many turbines are now on average approaching 50 years old and to remain serviceable need maintenance and/or refurbishment. Indeed, one of the intentions of the federal Government's Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 has been to give recognition to large-scale hydro as a renewable energy resource, and to the possibility that hydro could play an important role in meeting the target of 9 500 GWh of new renewable energy by 2010.
In addition to refurbishment opportunities, there are also prospects for increased contributions from mini-hydro projects. Private development of small-scale grid-connected hydro has been taking place in Australia since the mid-1980s, with the first significant project undertaken by Melbourne Water on the Thompson Dam.

Letter from Mass. teacher to Sandy Hook teachers
Tags: Sandy Hook Elementary Newtown Connecticut shooting
This letter was written by Sarah Redman, an 8th Grade English Teacher at Holten Richmond Middle School. She's a dear friend of 7News Anchor Sarah French. The letter was published in the Bristol Press. Redman wrote this powerful letter to the teachers of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
In 2009, Redman witnessed the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum shooting. She was in the same position as many Sandy Hook teachers, trying to protect her children. Read her powerful letter below, as the teachers and children of Sandy Hook elementary begin classes in a new school:
Dear Sandy Hook teachers,
I am writing to simply lend my support and send my love. I am a teacher, and when I heard the news of your unfathomable loss last Friday, I was left stunned. What many people outside of education often have difficulty truly understanding, is the enormous sense of community we build within our classrooms, in the hallways, in the teachers' room, in the office, on the playground, and in every other nook and cranny of our school building. It's not simply a place of work; it's our home. Schools are the most amazing and wonderful places of learning, music, laughter, amazement, wonder, friendship and family. I'm aching at the crime that was committed in the home you made for your students.
As you grieve the loss of so many magnificent lives, I want you to know that every teacher in this nation is behind you as you begin the most difficult work of your lives. Rebuilding your school community and reopening your doors for your students will not be easy. However, I know you will far exceed expectation, and the children of Sandy Hook will walk into their new home with the teachers they love standing proudly at the classroom door. You will lead them through circle time, establish the comfort of routine, puzzle their minds in math problems again, and read stories that will provide an escape from the reality of the world we live in. Their innocence may seem to be lost today, but I believe you will help them find it again. As educators we know that children are resilient. They will again giggle in the hallway, create masterpieces of art, send their excited fingers wiggling into the air when they think they have an answer, and once again they will feel safe within the walls of their school, their home. I know all of that to be true, because even though I don't know any of you personally, you are teachers, and making the impossible possible is what you do best.
On June 10, 2009 I was in the United States Memorial Holocaust Museum in Washington D.C. with my 8th grade students when a man entered the museum and shot and fatally injured a security guard. For twenty five long minutes I was hiding in a corner of the museum, unsure of what was happening, and trying to mask my own fear for the kids in my care. We were lucky to be evacuated to safety, and all of my students were physically unharmed; however, I will never forget the sounds of terror on that day, or the look of worry in my colleagues' eyes as we waited patiently for our "good guys". I can only imagine what you experienced last Friday and how you maintained your professionalism in order to reassure the children in your care that they would be all right. I was fortunate enough to emerge from that building to find my principal. I am sorry that your principal will not be there to hug you, and to tell you all that she wouldn't have expected anything other than the heroism you showed your kids, and our nation, last Friday morning. I know her spirit will be with you when you return to your school and spark a love of learning in your students again.
I send you strength and encouragement as you begin to think about nurturing your school back to health. This experience is now a part of who you are as an educator. The losses you have to bear will shape every decision you make. I know this enormous grief and loss will not be in vain, and you will show all of us your heroism again, only this time it will be with your ability to facilitate healing. Twenty tiny angels are counting on you to continue to passionately teach and inspire all of their friends, and I know you are all up to the task. I love you Sandy Hook teachers. You make me proud to be an American educator.
All the hugs in the world,
A teacher in Massachusetts

Cloud computing may be significantly changing the way many companies do business on the internet, but it isn't perfect.
As we've seen time and time again, the cloud infrastructure can fail, leaving users which made poor architectural decisions in a bind. There are also security and financial concerns that the cloud raises, some of which companies fail to deal with intelligently.

The battle between traditional payment processors and financial institutions and upstarts looking to dethrone them is on.
The upstarts, obviously, have their work cut out for them. Entrenched players like Verifone have significant marketshare, and are increasingly employing interesting strategies in an attempt to ensure they always have a seat at the dinner table.
That means one thing: the upstarts have to get clever and creative. And that's just what they're doing.

Amazon is not just the kingpin of online retail. Increasingly, thanks to Amazon Web Services (AWS), the Seattle-based company is at the center of many companies' clouds.
The rise of AWS is impressive, and Amazon owes much of its success to the breadth and depth of its cloud platform, which is used by hundreds of thousands of customers, large and small.

With online sales predicted to top £11bn this Christmas, it's incredible how many retailers still offer websites that are mere online catalogues and don't allow you to shop.
In fact, even some high street chains are only now taking their first steps in e-commerce.

What does online gossip rag Gawker have in common with fast food restaurant chain McDonald's? In the past several days, both have fallen victim to hackers who gained access to user databases.

Facebook's privacy woes continue. This week a man harvested and published the profile details of 100 million Facebook users. If that weren't bad enough, he then made the file available for free download. You'd think that a lot of companies would be interested in acquiring such data. And you'd be right.
But this is less a case of nefarious marketing tricks than a factor of Facebook's privacy settings. And things are only going to get worse as Facebook grows.

If the numbers are any indication, publishers really like Facebook's new Like button. But should they?
For obvious reasons, Facebook is attractive to publishers, and it wants to keep it that way. It provides publishers with plenty of tools that they can use to bring Facebook-driven experiences to their websites. The Like button is one of the newest offerings for publishers but there are several reasons publishers may want to think twice about putting it on their pages.

"Running in the winter grounds my day. It cures me of cabin fever and keeps the colds and flus at bay. My favorite time to run is early morning when the streets are empty and no one is awake. It is time that I own. It makes me feel powerful and alive."
"Everyone asks how I survive winters living on an island off the coast of Maine. Simple, I say; I get outside and I enjoy it. Even in the summer, I long for the quiet months of winter when I can walk my dog off-leash, feel the cold air, and listen to the sounds of the waves hitting the shore. My favorite time is late afternoon, when the sun sets over Casco Bay igniting a red sky. Walking is my meditation. And now with my STABILicers I never have to miss a day."
"My dad took me ice fishing when I was a boy. There is no quiet like the quiet of being out on a frozen pond in the dark of the morning. I've always loved the sport, and I can't wait until my own boys are old enough to go. I bought my first pair of Stabilicers years ago and now all the families on our pond wear them. Some of the fellows even wear them in the river during fly fishing season. It is amazing how they can help. Fishing is about patience, stillness, and quiet and with the cleats you can really hold your grip."
"I started winter hiking about four years ago when a buddy of mine and I skied Tuckerman's Ravine on the backside of Mt. Washington. The ski down was a little icy, but the hike up was spectacular. Blue bird sky, white snowy peaks, a late winter sun warm on my back. As an outdoor junkie, I was easily addicted, and thanks to my STABILicers, I can now hike all winter long."
"In Northern Vermont the first snow happens long before Thanksgiving, and with the unstable temperatures, a snowfall can quickly turn into treacherous, icy conditions. With my STABILicers, I am able to get the traction I really need while on pursuit. I love the thrill of the sport. And now with my Stabilicers I never have to miss a day of the season."
Rain, sleet, or snow, our postal workers and deliverymen are out there every day bringing the world to America's door. No matter what the conditions, STABILicers ice cleats give workers the grip and traction they need to complete the job and stay on their feet. Keeping our carriers safe is essential to delivering America's most important needs. Endorsed by thousands of US postal workers across the country.
Slips and falls are the second leading cause of work-related injuries. Keep your crews safe with STABILicers ice cleats. Our serious traction grip can make the difference between getting a job done and losing a member of your team to injury and falling behind schedule. With four products to choose from, heavy duty to midweight, from lightweight to waterproof, you can keep your team safe and on their feet all winter long.
In an emergency, there is no time for your crews to be unsafe. Give them the support and traction they need to respond as quickly, efficiently, and safely as possible. Our STABILicers products are worn by firemen, EMTs, police officers, volunteer emergency, and military crews around the world. Keep your crew on their feet with STABILicers ice cleats. It could make the difference between life and death for the people they are responding to.
My crew works hard outdoors and they never get a day off because of bad weather. Keeping my crew safe is important to me and to running my business
Running in the winter cures me of cabin fever and keeps the colds and flu at bay. I love running in my STABILicers SPORT because no matter what the weather brings, I can always get out.
I wear my LITEs around town and to walk the dog in the winter. They keep me on my feet and are easy to slip on and off. I was so excited when I heard STABILicers was now making a LITE for my kids!
I wear STABILicers Overshoe because they not only provide traction but they keep my shoes inside dry. I work outside and when you spend all day outside in 20 degree weather, safety is not just about staying on your feet, it's about staying dry and warm.
Stabilicers are great. The ONLY ice traction footgear necessary in winter Adirondacks for packed snow & ice.
Check out 32north ice cleats for the coming winter. I have bought many cleats over my years in Alaska, and 32north products are by far the best.
You guys ROCK! I love how you support your community . . . just one more reason to LOVE Stabilicers!
Always the originals. Going out to the barn now to feed my horse, these work great on wet slippery leaves as well as snow and ice. I wear them for 3 seasons. Thank you Stabilicers.
Love my Stabilicers- I am a photographer / cinematographer and I use them for shooting along the coast of Maine during the winter a lot! And they came in real handy this past winter when I was shooting on the Discovery Network series "American Logger" which is being shot up in the Millinocket area.
I live in Alaska and am outdoors a lot. Tried many different footware for traction. The stablicers original and the stablicers lite are the best on the market. I like the lite on icey surfaces and the original in snow or snow and ice. Great products!
Thanks for such a wonderful product that not only saves lives but enables us to hike year 'round!
Meredith rocks her STABILicers. Woot! She reported to me this morning that they were fantastic. NO slippage, whatsoever.
My extra pair of Stabilicers are not in my trunk. They are right in the main part of the car (under the center console) so I don't have to battle my way to the back of the car if I need to wear them! :)
I'm out in all kinds of weather, running and testing the Roadbud app. Got a pair of stabilicers after a bad day with black ice, dusky light, and a very sore bottom. Perfect grip ever since. And no more icy pitfalls!
I recommend stabilicers to all my clients at The Exercise Space- with traction and confidence I've enjoyed many a runs w/ my stabilicers when everyone else looks inquisitively as to why I'm not slipping or sliding!
I love my Stabilicers and always wear them in inclement winter weather. The best snowboarding conditions are also the best Stabilicer conditions, and my ice cleats allow me to get to and from the mountain with confidence. The friends to whom I've given Stabilicers love them, too. They make a great gift!
Stabilicers aren't just for winter fun. I'm a fly-fisherman, and my Stabilicers keep me upright while wading through those tough spots in the river where slippery rocks and strong currents would take down a lesser angler.
Great to buy American made gear. Thank you
Just got the stabilicers lite.
Great product.
These are the best shoe treads that I ever used. Thank you for making them. Keep up the great work
I purchased your product while in Yosemite last week. I had to contact your company to thank you for providing such a fantastic product.
All 5 of my friends bought them too and couldn't stop raving about how great were. As we watched other people slip and fall, we were so grateful to be able to walk safely.
Thanks so much!
about 6 yrs ago i bought a pair of your "Originals"... at the time i was working outside for a county gov in wisconsin.... and it was icy.... now i work as a meter reader for a little town in minnesota… and it has been icy like a big dawg....yet i have not once fallen while wearing the "Originals"…. i walk on the average about 12 miles daily on the snow and ice while reading meters...
Recently received my order for STABILicers. They are wonderful. I am 75 years old and have to negotiate a long, sloped driveway during the snowy, icy winter months. Couldn't do it without the STABILicers.
I won't go outside in winter weather without my Stabilicers! They provide sure footing in every type of winter condition. Great product - highly recommended
I purchased a pair of STABLicers Lite at my local tack shop, The Mane Place in Uxbridge, Ma.
I had purchased a different brand a couple years ago. They were OK, but all I could find. I saw your product at The Mane Place and looked them over. I liked the sturdy design and thought they would fit better and last longer than the pair I had (that kept falling off.) I also liked the cleat design. Also better than the pin type on the other brand.
I got to try them out the past couple days. What a difference!
And, what a pleasant surprise to see they are made here in the USA! You've demonstrated that quality items can be manufactured here and sold for reasonable prices.

Review: 70700 Space Swarmer
Review: 70700 Space Swarmer
Posted by Huw, 12 Feb 2013 04:10. Filed under Set review.
Galaxy Squad sets appeared in the shops in North America before Christmas but, as I discovered at the London toy fair, they are not going to be available in Europe until the summer, when all 10 boxed sets will be released.
I am therefore very grateful to Jeff from BrickPicker.com, the LEGO price and investing guide, for bringing three of them over from the US for me when we met in London last week.
70700 is the smallest of the Galaxy Squad sets, containing 86 pieces, including two minifigs. It's $11.99 in the USA and I imagine it'll be £9.99 or so in the UK.
Box and contents
The box is almost square and this being from the USA, like all US boxes but unlike European ones, it states the number of pieces on the front. I'm guessing that it's some sort of requirement to do so in the USA, but I wonder why LEGO don't print it on European boxes. It's useful information for the consumer, after all.
As usual, the back shows what moves and suggests ways to play with it.
The parts are in two, unnumbered, bags. There's one instruction manual.
The minifigs
The 'good' minifig in the set is 'Dark Azure Robot Sidekick with Jet Pack' which features some superb torso and leg printing, and some serious military hardware in the form of a bazooka-style weapon.
His jet pack makes him a bit back-heavy when he's not holding his gun, but he can just about stand up unaided if you tilt him forward.
The four-eyed bug is equally as impressive. BrickLink calls him 'Alien Buggoid': I don't know if that's an official name but it seems appropriate. Printing on his torso and legs makes him look suitably bug-like.
The back of his head extends down his spine.
The Space Swarmer
The space swarmer itself is a quick and easy build. There are some interesting parts in it, including two of the new-this-year 'Plade 1X2 M. Van. Hul Ø 4,8' [SIC], used to connect the wings to the sides.
The four legs barely support the weight of the body which, in these photos, is touching the ground. It is possible to pose it without it doing so, but it's not easy. For the cost of a few extra pence I would have preferred 6 legs which, as we know, all insects have (at least on Earth :-) ). It's east enough to add them because they clip onto this part, although the 'Silver Metallic Blade 5M W/Ø3.2' isn't in many sets so you might not have any spares.
The Buggoid sits snugly in the cockpit. I was pleased to see that the 2x2 tile control panel, and the 2x2 round tile 'mouth' at the front of the ship are printed, not stickers.
The Buggoid's ray gun clips to the back, which is good, it'll save it getting lost.
Overall opinion
There's nothing much to dislike about this set: 2 great minifigs and an interesting bug-like ship that looks good and is fun to play with, and for a reasonable price. With 6 legs it would have been even better.
It's a good introduction to the theme and I look forward to building the other two Jeff brought over.
Update: here's the bug-craft with 6 legs and robot in its clutches:

==================================================Emily walked out of the jungle onto the beach and approached the crystal blue ocean. She smiled and pulled her hair into a high ponytail with her bangs hanging out using a leather ribbon. She took off her fur boots and waded into the water not caring that she would get her clothes wet( you can see her outfit in the OOC). She loved the feeling of the soft sand between her toes and how the waves felt cool on her skin. She watched the sunrise over the ocean and smiled. The water was up to her knees and she stopped just so she could look around and relax.

Phantasy Star Zero given winter 2009 release date
Sega's Wi-Fi enabled DS RPG, Phantasy Star Zero, has annexed winter 2009 as its own. It is, as expected, a videogame.
Apparently, it'll allow you to murder tiny monstrosities with up to four of your friends, either through local wireless or Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Additionally, 350 unique weapons will surely test the limits of your so-called companionship and leave you pondering the limited merits of human nature.
There will also be dragons.
Thanks, Eurogamer.

Hi people, 1 day old newbie here. I have jail broken my ATV2 with seasonpass, got Nitotv installed via SSH by using Putty. I then installed XBMC first directly from Nitotv and then by SSH with Putty. Nitotv says that the XBMC is installed, but I do not have an icon to open XBMC with at all. What am I missing please??

I kind of have the same issue except I've been running mine just fine for a long time. I have 2 ATV2 running eden11. Sat night mine locked up so I rebooted atv2 via down and menu button. When my ATV2 came back up, there was nothing but ATV2 menu. No Nito, No XMBC. So I decided to try and re jailbreak it. Nothing, will not even jailbreak with seasonpass (SP will download the file, but when itunes opens up if errors out and wont restore). I think well lets just see if I can get into it with putty and nope, fail on connection. Something about server.
I'm at a loss on what to do now. Then I thought I was smart and grabbed my ATV2 from upstairs that wasn't being used and figured I would just use it until I get the other one fixed. Nope, it was in the same condition. So I have two down and can't jailbreak. Sorry for this being my first post. I tried reading the other post, but this seems close to my issue. |

I just wanted to report back and say that i came home today and plugged both my ATV2s back in and now both of them have all icons and work like they did before Sunday. It is the weirdest thing. I promise you both of them had lost Nito, plex and XBMC. I got nothing yesterday and now they are back?
Thanks for your help artrafael. I'm good now. |

beautifully when I rolled the Tele's volume knob off a tad.
With the master volume kicked in, the OR50H is a very different machine. The voicing takes on a more compressed nature, and the lows become a little punchier. The combination of the drive knob set at noon and the HF drive at around 3 o'clock yields glorious blues leads with impressive, heaving low-end sustain. The signal won't clean up as readily at these settings and you can lose a little harmonic depth, though the amp's EQ controls are rangy enough to compensate in most cases.
With a Les Paul out front and the preamp gain up to around 2 o'clock, the OR50H becomes a great tool for heavy, old-school British riffage. The tone is classic Orange at these settings— blistering and boisterous mids, snarling highs, and a cavernous low end—with a slightly modern edge to the gain voicing. With humbuckers in the mix, turning up the HF drive beyond 3 o'clock sludges up the tone a bit and you lose a little definition.
Pros: Superb cleans with tons of headroom. Classic Orange gain. HF drive control is super-useful.
Orange OR50H Reissue, $1,699 street, orangeamps.comTonesEase of UseBuildValue
Cons: No effects loop. Difficult to clean up when the master volume is engaged.
Dialing it back between 2 and 3 o'clock keeps the tone balanced and prevents the signature Orange fuzzy top end from overpowering the rest of the spectrum.
There are, of course, great tones to be found at more extreme gain levels. With the gain control at 4 o'clock and the master volume cranked, the amp is perfect for modern stoner rock, and it will tickle anyone with a passion for Electric Wizard, Orange Goblin, and older Melvins. I even found a really cool, fuzzed-out tone with the gain maxed and the bridge pickup's tone knob lowered all the way. Imagine Marc Bolan's juicy rhythm on the T. Rex classic "Baby Boomerang" with a little more saturation and thickness.
The Verdict
The OR50H walks the line between old-school heritage and modern amp tone beautifully, perhaps because the original incarnation of this amp helped draw that line in the first place. The single-channel layout keeps things simple and straightforward, and the switchable master volume gives the amp clean headroom that will probably surprise guitarists who associate the Orange name with thick overdrive—though there's plenty of that when the master volume is introduced to the circuit. The OR50H is a great amp that can wear a lot of different hats. But for die-hard fans of classic and modern Orange tone who weren't lucky enough to score an original anniversary head, this one is a must-try.

CNS-Resident Glial Progenitor/Stem Cells Produce Schwann Cells as well as Oligodendrocytes during Repair of CNS Demyelination
Cell Stem Cell, Volume 6, Issue 6, 4 June 2010, Pages 578-590

SummaryAfter central nervous system (CNS) demyelination—such as occurs during multiple sclerosis—there is often spontaneous regeneration of myelin sheaths, mainly by oligodendrocytes but also by Schwann cells. The origins of the remyelinating cells have not previously been established. We have used Cre-lox fate mapping in transgenic mice to show that PDGFRA/NG2-expressing glia, a distributed population of stem/progenitor cells in the adult CNS, produce the remyelinating oligodendrocytes and almost all of the Schwann cells in chemically induced demyelinated lesions. In contrast, the great majority of reactive astrocytes in the vicinity of the lesions are derived from preexisting FGFR3-expressing cells, likely to be astrocytes. These data resolve a long-running debate about the origins of the main players in CNS remyelination and reveal a surprising capacity of CNS precursors to generate Schwann cells, which normally develop from the embryonic neural crest and are restricted to the peripheral nervous system.

Rejuvenation of Regeneration in the Aging Central Nervous System

Julia M. Ruckh, Jing-Wei Zhao, Jennifer L. Shadrach, Peter van Wijngaarden, Tata Nageswara Rao, Amy J. Wagers and Robin J.M. Franklin
SummaryRemyelination is a regenerative process in the central nervous system (CNS) that produces new myelin sheaths from adult stem cells. The decline in remyelination that occurs with advancing age poses a significant barrier to therapy in the CNS, particularly for long-term demyelinating diseases such as multiple sclerosis (MS). Here we show that remyelination of experimentally induced demyelination is enhanced in old mice exposed to a youthful systemic milieu through heterochronic parabiosis. Restored remyelination in old animals involves recruitment to the repairing lesions of blood-derived monocytes from the young parabiotic partner, and preventing this recruitment partially inhibits rejuvenation of remyelination. These data suggest that enhanced remyelinating activity requires both youthful monocytes and other factors, and that remyelination-enhancing therapies targeting endogenous cells can be effective throughout life.

Stem cells for the treatment of myelin loss
Trends in Neurosciences, Volume 28, Issue 12, 1 December 2005, Pages 677-683
Hans S. Keirstead
AbstractTreatment of myelin loss is particularly suited to therapeutic strategies based on cell replacement. Demyelination represents a defined and functionally debilitating deficit, and remyelination can be accomplished by supplying regions of demyelination with myelinogenic cell populations. Clinical interest in stem cells as a source of myelinogenic cells arises from their ability to provide an apparently unlimited cell supply for transplantation, and from recent demonstrations that they can be directed to myelinogenic phenotypes with high purity. Here, I present the emerging perspective that stem-cell-mediated remyelination of the adult CNS is a viable therapeutic strategy, and discuss the challenges to remyelination posed by the environment of acute and chronic injuries.

Growth factor treatment of demyelinating disease: at last, a leap into the light

Researchers seeking treatments for multiple sclerosis (MS) have long dreamed of using neurotrophic factors to enhance remyelination. Previous attempts to apply trophic support for oligodendrocytes in experimental demyelination uniformly produced complicated outcomes that reflected unexpected effects on immune or inflammatory responses and could be interpreted only with caution. Now, two recent publications have demonstrated convincingly that cytokines of the interleukin (IL)-6 superfamily can ameliorate experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis and promote oligodendrocyte survival, without demonstrable effect on inflammation or immune responses.

Paraphrasing Aldous Huxley's universal spiritual truths from his book Perennial Philosophy: (1) All that exists is dependent upon the divine ground. (2) Human beings can realize the existence of the divine ground by transrationally uniting with it. (3) Humanity possesses a double nature, both an egoic contracted self and a timeless spirit. (4) The purpose of life on earth is to identify with one's spiritual nature and achieve liberative unity with the divine ground. (5) Once liberative unity has been experienced, it is the person's responsibility to share their insight by speaking and acting in accordance with their new vision. |

Types of Interviews
The Screening Interview
The screening job interview can sometimes sneak up on people. We often think it is not as important as the actual interview; however, it can be the most important, as it is the gateway to the first step in the process. The employer could be screening your computer skills, typing skills, and general knowledge as they relate to specific requirements of the job. Always be professional in voice and tone, dress and appearance, and mindful of how you treat others.
The Traditional Interview
The traditional job interview uses broad-based questions such as, "why do you want to work for this company," and "tell me about your strengths and weaknesses." Interviewing success or failure are more often based on the ability of the job-seeker to communicate than on the truthfulness or content of their answers. Employers are looking for the answer to three questions:
- does the job-seeker have the skills and abilities to perform the job
- does the job-seeker possess the enthusiasm and work ethic that the employer expects
- will the job-seeker be a team player and fit into the organization
The Behavioral Interview
The behavioral job interview is based on the theory that past performance is the best indicator of future behavior, and uses questions that probe specific past behaviors, such as: "tell me about a time where you confronted an unexpected problem," "tell me about an experience when you failed to achieve a goal," and "give me a specific example of a time when you managed several projects at once. Employers use the behavioral interview technique to evaluate a candidate's experiences and behaviors so they can determine the applicant's potential for success.
Key desired behaviors:
- Critical thinking
- Being a self-starter
- Willingness to learn
- Willingness to travel
- Self-confidence
- Teamwork
- Professionalism
It's one thing to put these bullet points on your resume, but do you have past experiences (behaviors) that support or prove the statements?
Phone Interview
When being interviewed by phone, make sure you are in a place where you can read notes, take notes and concentrate. Ensure that you can hear and are being clearly heard. The dining room table works if you are in the house alone. You can use all the space to have all your papers laying flat – you don't want them to hear you rustling through a bunch of papers to find what you are looking for. You don't want children, pets or other outside noises to become a distraction to the person on the other end of the phone. Don't feel you have to fill in the silences. If you've completed a response, but the interviewer hasn't asked his or her next question, don't start babbling just to fill in airtime. Instead, ask a question of your own related to your last response.
The Case Interview
The case interview is an interview in which you are presented with a specific business dilemma. You are asked to analyze the situation, identify key business issues, and discuss how you would address the problems involved. Case interviews are designed to scrutinize the skills that are especially important in management consulting and related fields.
The Panel or Group Interview
This method of interviewing is often attractive for companies that rely heavily on team cooperation. The panel usually consists of the hiring manager or supervisor and other members of the team or peer managers. Not only does the company want to know whether your skills balance that of the company, but also whether you can get along with the other workers. In some companies, multiple people will interview you simultaneously. In other companies, you will proceed through a series of one-on-one interviews. In some cases you may be asked the same question in different ways from different members of the group. Don't act put off by this repetition, and don't say, "I've already answered that when Bob asked me." Remember that each interviewer may have a different function in the company, and they each have a unique perspective. When asking questions, be sensitive not to place anyone in a position that invites him to compromise confidentiality or loyalty. Treat each person as an important individual.
The Mealtime Interview
For many, interviewing over a meal sounds like a professional and digestive catastrophe in the making. If you have difficulty chewing gum while walking, this could be a challenge. With some preparation and psychological readjustment, you can enjoy the process. Meals often have a cementing social effect – breaking bread together tends to facilitate deals, marriages, friendships and religious communion. Mealtime interviews rely on this logic and expand on it. Particularly when your job requires interpersonal acuity, companies want to know what you are like in a social setting. Are you relaxed and charming or awkward and evasive? Companies want to observe not only how you handle a fork, but also how you treat your host, any other guests and the serving staff.
Some basic social tips help ease the complexity of mixing food with business:
- Take cues from your interviewer, remembering that you are the guest. Do not sit down until your host does. Order something slightly less extravagant than your interviewer. If he or she badly wants you to try a particular dish, oblige. If he or she recommends an appetizer to you, he or she likely intends to order one. Do not begin eating until your host does. If he or she orders coffee and dessert, do not let him or her eat alone.
- If your interviewer wants to talk business, do so. If your host and the other guests discuss their upcoming travel plans or their families, do not launch into business.
- Try to set aside dietary restrictions and preferences. Remember, the interviewer is your host. It is rude to be finicky unless you absolutely must. If you must, be as tactful as you can. Avoid phrases like: "I do not eat mammals," or "Shrimp makes my eyes swell and water."
- Choose manageable food items, if possible. Avoid barbeque ribs and spaghetti.
- Find a discrete way to check your teeth after eating. Excuse yourself from the table for a moment.
- Practice eating and discussing something important simultaneously.
- Thank your interviewer for the meal.
Situational Interview
Situational interviews are similar to behavioral interviews, except that situational interviews focus on a hypothetical situation. For example, in a behavioral interview, the interviewer might start a question with, "Tell me about a time you had to deal with..." In a situational interview, the interviewer asks, "How would you handle..." The key to preparation and success in situational interviews is simply to review your past work experiences and review the steps you took to resolve problems and make corrections. You should also have short stories of some of these past experiences so you can incorporate them into your answers to show that you have experience handling similar situations.
Stress Job Interviews
The stress interviewing technique is typically used only for positions in which the job seeker will be facing stress on the job, and the interviewer wants to see how well candidates can handle the pressure. The key to surviving stress interviews is to remain calm, keep a sense of humor and avoid getting angry or defensive.
The interviewer may try to stress you in one of several ways, such as asking four or five questions in a row, acting rude or sarcastic, disagreeing with you, or simply keeping you waiting for a long period. Don't take any of these actions personally. Simply stick to your agenda and showcase your skills and accomplishments calmly. Better, try taking back control of the interview by ignoring the stress. Some experts suggest even getting up and walking around the room so that you take control by being the only person standing. If there is a board or flip chart in the room, another option is to get up and draw or diagram parts of your answers.
Most job-seekers will not encounter such interviews, but it is important to know they exist, and know how to handle yourself if you are faced with such an interview style.

How Common Is a Herniated DiscTopic OverviewHerniated discs can occur in people of all ages. They are most common in people between 35 and 45 years old.1 Many people have a herniated disc in the back and are not aware of it, because they have no symptoms of leg or back pain. But for some people, herniated discs do cause leg or back pain, or nerve-related problems. Of people with low back or leg pain, 4% have nerve-related problems triggered by a herniated disc.2 Other nerve-related problems include spinal stenosis, fractures, and infections. Herniated discs are common in people whose jobs require sitting at desks or driving motor vehicles for long periods of time. Related InformationReferences
