Promising tool to combat cachexia-induced muscle wasting discovered
Cachexia, a syndrome characterized by rapid weight loss and muscle deterioration, is a major cause of death among patients suffering from diseases like cancer, AIDS and chronic infection. Now, a newly published study by McGill University researchers shows that a low dose of Pateamine A is effective at preventing cancer-induced muscle wasting, which may lead to cachexia-fighting drugs.

Biologists turn back the clock to understand evolution of sex differences
Prof. Ehab Abouheif, Dept. of Biology and a research team investigated which genes were being expressed during the development of antennae in male water striders. The antennae are used to grasp the females during mating. They then modified gene expression to see how this would be expressed in antennae development and success in mating. By doing so they were able to watch evolution in action.

Darwin in the genome
A current controversy raging in evolutionary biology is about whether adaptation to new environments is the result of many genes, each of relatively small effect, or just a few genes of large effect. A new study published in Molecular Ecology by McGill biologist Andrew Hendry and a colleague from Basel University strongly supports the first "many-small" hypothesis.

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Kevin Durant insisted the Thunder facing elimination was all the motivation he needed.
Thanks to the NBA's best scorer, the Thunder remains alive and can finish off the Memphis Grizzlies back in Oklahoma City.
Durant scored 36 points to break out of a slump and the Thunder routed the Grizzlies 104-84 on Thursday night to force a deciding seventh game in the first-round Western Conference series. His performance came on a day when the hometown newspaper questioned his struggles with a headline calling him "Mr. Unreliable."
"We needed to win this game," Durant said. "That's more motivation than anything, so our team responded. We've got to do an even better job in Game 7."

Facebook tributes to popular Devizes pottery closed by rates blow (From This Is Wiltshire)
Facebook tributes to popular Devizes pottery closed by rates blow
Updated 9:42am Thursday 4th September 2014 in By Joanne Moore
Parents and their children who use the Pottery Painting Company in Devizes have spoken of their sadness that the shop has been forced to close because of high running costs.
Leanne Murphy, who opened the business in November 2012 with friend Caroline Kean, closed the shop on the corner of Maryport Street and Monday Market Street at the weekend. She blamed high commercial rates and an increase in competitors.
The closure came as a shock to families who have enjoyed creating their own designs on pottery. Many of them have taken to Facebook to express their sadness,.
Leslie Mills said: "What a shame the pottery decorating shop is closing. I do hope the lovely girl who runs it can find alternative premises in town.
"It's individual businesses like this that make a town like Devizes a bit special."
Mrs Murphy said she had been paying £500 a month in rates and this included a discount for being a small business. But as she was near the top end of the £12,000 limit on receiving a discount she received very little. She said some neighbouring businesses paid nothing in rates.
But Mrs Murphy said that while the way rates were assessed baffled her she was taking the blame for her business closing.
She said: "I take full responsibility for choosing this expensive site. I was blinded by its potential as a creative space. The increased competition was not part of the plan.
"I am proud of the two years I had."
The premises was for many years the Cheese Shop and later became Travelwise. It was empty for some time after the travel agents moved premises.

It was on 'You and Your's' Between 12.15.- 13.00. When you look into it it's just like Clare Perry's claim that the economy is growing. No it is not. You can not export Gardening, Window cleaning and Car Washing. The majority of new jobs created rely heavily on Working Tax Credits and Housing benefit. If this 'success' continues we really will be up the creek. We need proper jobs creating added value, not some spin and blaming the last government.

What do you think makes a defense better? Having a good line and ok corners. Or good corners and an ok line. Personally I think that a good line makes everyone behind them look better. I think making the qb move is the key. If Brady stands in the pocket he eats teams. Look at his older film he gods hammered a lot after he got rid of the ball. Not so much now, something to be said about fatherhood I guess.
I can't see how " coverage sacks" are as frequent as penetration sacks.

Red-carding Qatar | JPost | Israel News
Qatar has become the veritable hub of the Sunni axis it props up. No wonder Hamas's Khaled Mashaal has made Qatar his base of operations, as has his aide, fugitive spy Azmi Bishara, the ex-Israeli MK and founder of Balad. Also domiciled in Qatar is Sheikh Yusuf Kardawi, an extreme Muslim cleric who keeps praising Hitler, who justified suicide bombing against Jews and who os one of the chief mentors of the Qatari emir. The latter's fundamentalist Islamic bent is hardly a secret.
Qatar has learned well the lessons the Saudis have taught for decades: It's much easier to bribe the western ruling class into submission than to beat it into submission.
Of course Big Fat Al Gore has already gotten his $70 million payoff from Qatar.
Speaking of which: It would be interesting to examine every paid speech given by the Clintons sinch BJ left office, and see how many of their checks were written by companies, foundations, or other organizations connected in some way or another to Saudi Arabia or Quatar.

Whats got you down specifically? I would be the first to admit its got some problems but on the whole I like it here. Just curious.

Have you considered Kelowna?
"the bus came by and I got on, that's when it all began...there was Cowboy Neal at the wheel of a bus to never-ever land."
Go for Vernon
vancouver its great here
I'm personally thinking of moving out east. Maybe Montreal or Ottawa.
Toronto is fine but what has got you Calgarians down? Everyone keeps talking about the boom and how you can make 20$ an hour working in a Tim Hortons, is it just a crappy place to live? I would imagine the night life might suck, what else?

I grew up in Red Deer, went to U of A and then began my working life in Calgary. I have now lived in Regina for the last 11 years and would not move anywhere else. There are many appealing aspects to Alberta, the rides were great, jobs, lots of stimulation. However, having moved on in life I can't overstate the friendliness of the people here. You get use to the flat ground and can even see the beauty in it. Life in Regina is calm and peaceful. A traffic jam is when you have to wait for two lights to get through an intersection. I have had the opportunity to be in many of the provinces with cycling, but am always glad to be back here.
Calgary is just so... crazy right now. For instance, at almost any place in the city where you stand you can see three separate construction projects. The other day I discovered the favorite part of my favorite road riding route had been turned into... a dump! Can you believe it? Traffic is exploding (exascerbated by the fact that probably every major artery has multiple road expansion projects going on), homelessness is exploding, people are collectively feeling the stress which means they radiate it out to each other through yelling and fighting. Lots of murders and other fatal traffic accidents lately, it seems. So the city is a bit miserable right now.
But. It's a good town to bike in, generally. Most days, in most parts of the city, drivers are polite and not too aggressive (a few unfortunate exceptions).
Dear Sheik, You said "I'm personally thinking of moving out east. Maybe Montreal or Ottawa."
Unless you speak French forget Montreal or Ottawa. My Dad lives in Gatineau right accross from Ottawa and all I can say is it Sucks! I lived just outside of Montreal for 20 years and unless you like Facist Quebecois Telling you you're a second class citizen for being Anglo or a visible minority, forget it. Believe me, my Sister gets treated like crap in Quebec just because she has an Italian last name and not French.
Sorry if I brought you down with my negativity about Montreal and Ottawa, but these are my experiences and why I moved west 20 years ago.
Good luck to you.

Oh, I know about the frech facist thing, But I have plenty of Anglo family in both cities. I can pass for french if I need to though. I don't know how I feel about Calgary, I have a Love-Hate relationship with it.
i agree Bowcyclist...
having come back to Calgary after finishing-up school in Toronto and Barcelona, calgary seems well..sick?
booming financially w/o an equivalent increase in Culture. gone is the 'high' quality of life at an affordable price which allowed one to get away to more vibrant places when Calgary got dull...for most, it seems to be a struggle just to maintain themselves here.
i love biking around here, and this has been my most productive season, ever. but other than that...
i wouldn't recommend buying here right now, the market is dipping. i own a condo in Toronto which has steadily increased in price, Vancouver's prices continue to grow as well. if you are heading to the coast, try to buy there.
The problem with Calgary is that the Boom has attracted too many whiners from back eastCalgary is what you make of it. I've been here since 68...yeah I agree it grew way too darn fast but what are you supposed to do halt growth? Whether you like it or not its the economy of this region that is making Canada's economy so strong......I guess Calgary is also a victim of its own success the boom has also attracted too many Liberals from Ontario, which was evident in Stelmachs left wing nut plan unveiled this week
I've been in Calgary since 82, and the biggest problem with this city is *****-tonk conservatives who've been here since 1896
Conservatives built this place not the policies of the east...aka liberals. Like I said thats where the biggest problem lies, the whining from the liberals..."i want rent controls" i want free this I want free that..."i want my share" if you want your share get to work ..."the best social program is a J O B " and if thats not enough get two!
Oh...did you notice Mr Tafts poll numbers this week 14.5 % he is falling not rising Liberals call him a leader! But than again they call Dion a leader
I don't own a pickup truck or a Cowboy hat and boots..and the Calgary FLAMES SUCK.
you could move, or stay n be a catalyst to change things 'round here. (thingsdonechange)
you site problems like homelessness, house boom, rich richer, poor poorer, crime, murders, toxic noxious obnoxious, maybe throw in powderous se7en sins such as greed, pride. what then you believe, shall be ... antidote? For where there's reaction, there is, or should be a starting cause too.
economics, tax system, supply n demand, freemasonry, you name, 'syours.

I love Calgary for a big city. I live right downtown and it is great for biking. I can do all my errands on bike downtown and I can get out of the city fairly easily in several directions for highway rides. I had friends that lived in Vancouver and while it certainly has it merits don't lose sight of the many challenges to living there - many of which are the same as Calgary - over populated, construction, homelessness, traffic, etc..
If you want to get away from the craziness of city life don't move to another big city or a tourist mecca like Whistler. Find a small town in the interior of BC and settle down for some mellow times.
Personally I think its all in people's heads whenever I hear about how crazy Calgary is I laugh. I live in the core and my lifestyle is uber chill. Find a nice place to live and connect with some nice like minded folks - then let the rest of the people do their rat race thing. It doesn't have to affect you other than to be an amusing diversion when you cross a major artery by bike and look down at all the people trapped in their cars.
Well I've just gone and bought myself a house in Calgary. We're planning on staying here to raise children and such. Starting a family in the same city in which the our extended families live will make the whole child rearing thing much easier.
I will be living in Montgomery, which makes the cycle commuting super convenient.
The grass is always greener on the other side, a change is as good as a rest etc. etc.
First... the grass is always greener! Vancouver, while beautiful, has its own fair share of problems. If you aren't willing to stick it out in Calgary and try to change things, I don't think things will be that much better for you here.
In addition, the $225k housing price you just listed is extremely LOW for BC, especially the lower mainland. There's no way you could even buy a shed for that in Vancouver. I pay $1,200 rent for my 750 sq.ft 1-bedroom and this is a steal because of the size. We're looking at buying next year, and for a condo we'll be paying at least $350,000.
You might want to think about Nanaimo or Kelowna. Both are beautiful with gorgeous scenery, lots of cycling opportunities (as well as other outdoor pursuits), and are growing cities. Realty costs are lower than other main cities, like Vancouver or Victoria.
Whistler is expensive. My brother lived there for 4 months and it wasn't worth staying. He paid $700 rent sharing a place with 4 other guys.
Something is happening in Calgary right now. It's good. There are more people riding bikes to work in the dead of winter, the city now plows roads that have bike lanes first, and the local bikecalgary.org community seems to be kicking it up.
and don't forget the plowed mups. courtesy of brian pincott, the 'tooker gomberg of calgary'

This is the story of a wolf and a lamb. In 2009, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) initiated investigation against China. The ITC estimated losses of $48.2 billion in sales, royalties, or licence fees due to IPR infringement in China. It also reported that an improvement in IPR protection in China to levels comparable to those in the United States could lead to an estimated $107 billion gain in US exports and sales to China and would likely increase employment in their US operations by 2% to 5%. This increase translates into approximately 923,000 new jobs for US IP intensive firms. A recent study by the ITC on the Theft of American Intellectual Property asserts that China is the worlds largest source of IP theft and accounts for between 50% and 80% of the problem. Notwithstanding these assertions and the US actions, the stellar inflow of FDI and economic growth continued in China. The wolf discovered that it wasnt a lamb. It was a wily fox!
In 2013, at the initiative of Pfizer, associations of pharmaceutical and biotech companies supported by a few other vocal companies from IT, telecom, solar panel, etc, orchestrated a campaign against Indias trade, investment and the industrial policies. Most of them were frustrated, like their Indian counterparts, with the poor infrastructure, lack of governance, unpredictability of the tax regime, inadequate government spending on the health care, price regulations and the judicial activism. They worked relentlessly to launch an investigation by the ITC against Indias unfriendly business environment. They focused on IP protection and enforcement in health care, information, communication and entertainment (HICE) sectors. They also roped in some other trade associations like National Association of Manufacturers, Alliance for Free Trade with India, Global Intellectual Property Center, etc. Some of them have already pronounced their guilty verdict for India even before the ITC hearing is over!
The stand-off is now not confined to Sec 3(d) of Patent Act or use of compulsory licensing to save lives of people. Others have joined the bandwagon: Some want waiver of local content requirements. Some others want modification in the government procurement rules. Some want to tweak the rules of business to take on competitive Chinese solar panels and superior technology Japanese panels. It is a different matter that 13 states of the US have similar provision or that the USFDA approved pharmaceutical companies from India cannot even participate in the

Innovation is work (Part 1: Generating Ideas)
When we set up our sharing system, the HERO Platform, here at Forrester Research, one explicit goal was to improve innovation. There's a virtuous circle: the innovation element would get people further into the sharing platform, and the sharing platform would give us the structure we needed to innovate. I'd like to tell you how things came out (so far). We learned a number of lessons, things that may or may not be intuitive, which I'll call out here in bold italics. Today I'll describe how we got started; tomorrow I'll get into winnowing ideas down and launching innovators forward.
If I learned one thing, it is that making innovation happen is hard work -- for the person running the process, for the innovators, and for the people making the judgments and the company management. So why do it? Here's the big takaway:
Innovation systems require a carefully thought out and clearly described process. Innovation systems should help find good ideas and create a path to put them into practice. If there is no clear path from ideas to implementation, you're just fooling around.
This is how we started. Forrester Research is a company full of innovative people, in my experience. But we did not have a systematic process for encouraging those innovations, and as we near 1300 employees around the world, it's not getting any easier. People say "I have an idea" and then get frustrated that nothing happens. This is a problem at a lot of companies. So our explicit goal was to create a path by which innovators and their innovations could get traction and move forward.
Know what problem you're solving with your innovation system.
We launched the HERO Platform in August. We declared October "Innovation Month" and officially launched an idea community within HERO. I made a decision that there would be one email to the whole company and no more. All of the other promotion was within the HERO Platform. The innovators themselves would do a lot of the promotion, by requesting people to review their ideas.
Don't promote innovation with a barrage of email.
The innovation community included the key features I've seen in every successful innovation system: the ability to search, vote for, comment on, and share ideas (and see the ideas with the most commentary and the most votes). It took a couple of weeks to really get going, and there was a flurry of activity at the end, but for the most part it just worked. There were hundreds of votes and comments on 65 ideas. Of the 65 ideas, most were pretty good or excellent. While some companies have a continuous process (Intuit is one), we specifically time-limited it to encourage contributions and then take the contributed ideas and select the best for implementation.
Use deadlines and time-limits to encourage contributions -- position your innovation process as a "challenge" or "contest."
We asked people to classify their ideas as Quick (easy to implement now) or Detailed (requires further budget or study), since we wanted to evaluate the two types of ideas separately from each other.
One thing we added to the off-the-shelf system was fields that required people to think about the benefits and the cost of their ideas (and we encouraged people to use the effort-value evaluation to discipline their thinking). We also asked people to choose one from "I want to lead the launch of this idea," "I want to be a part of the launch of this idea," and "Someone should take this idea and run with it." (I recently spoke to a client who had a bunch of undifferentiated ideas in his system and had become frustrated with suggestions that included no indication of how much they would cost or who would make them happen. I was pleased that we didn't fall into this trap.)
Ideas have costs -- systems should encourage innovators to think carefully about them.
At the end of all this we had indications of which ideas were popular. But were they the best, and how should we implement them? This was the second part of the process, which I'll describe in tomorrow's post.

Okay so check it out. I've not ridden since November due to the Holidays and I've had bronchitis for like three weeks now.
I'm still sick and coughing and I'm VERY weak (my chest hurts and my muscles tired) but I HAD to ride.
So I call up my friend and she shows up on her XtraCycle, cooler and all. (she's so cute). Anyway, so here we are, I'm dressed in shorts and a sleeveless top. CLIPLESS SHOES. She's got herself all wrapped up nice and cuddly in cold weather clothing. (and a T-mobile race jersey) It's like 40 degrees out and windy as all hell. Oh I have to add that she is a health nut and in real good shape. Not a round shape like yours truly.
So I tell her to lead the way. She starts out normal, then starts to JAM on that dang thing, laughing, whipping it around like it was a bmx bike or something. I'm behind her in shock. I tried to yell at her that I can't ride like this when I have bronchitis and asthma. THEN...She goes off road!!
I'm thinking WTF! Here I am, all coughing and wheezing. But I CAN'T let no dang XtraCycle kick my butt on the dirt!! She's pedaling hard and climbing, taking singletrack. OMG why is she doing this to me???
"Harden the eff up" I say to myself. HARDEN THE EFF UP!!! GRRRR!!!!!!! (I think it's a roadie thing?) *shrugs*
Siu saved herself.
I jammed up them climbs, trying to hide my coughs and gags wheezing and was still able to jump a little bit. I was flying around the corners, even started to slip a bit but I was doing just fine. I can't let no long bike embarrass me like this.
She was working real hard and I was surprised how she rode that thing (found out she only had it as a regular bike for only one month so she's mastered the handling of it six years now).
At the end when we were slowing down she said to me, "Dang, if you weren't sick, I bet you'd like to race around on that other bike you have, huh?" (she's referring to the skinny tire bike)
I just smiled at her.
Now I'm gonna go take another shot of my inhaler, go wheeze in the corner and hope that I don't go into a full asthma attack.
But it was worth it. If anything I had to prove it to myself. That I'm not gonna let this issue with my asthma and my lungs stop me.
That's right, everyone. I kicked the butt of an XtraCycle. And darn proud of it. *nods head*

A young exotic planet six times more massive than Jupiter - has been discovered floating all alone without a sun about 80 light-years from Earth.
The planet, dubbed PSO J318.5-22, formed a mere 12 million years ago - a newborn in planet lifetimes.
It was identified by an international team of astronomers from its faint and unique heat signature by the Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) wide-field survey telescope on Haleakala, Maui.
Follow-up observations using other telescopes in Hawaii show that it has properties similar to those of gas-giant planets found orbiting around young stars. And yet PSO J318.5-22 is all by itself, without a host star.
"We have never before seen an object free-floating in space that looks like this. It has all the characteristics of young planets found around other stars, but it is drifting out there all alone," said team leader Dr Michael Liu of the Institute for Astronomy at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
"I had often wondered if such solitary objects exist, and now we know they do," said Liu.
Only a handful of planets have been directly imaged, all of which are around young stars - less than 200 million years old. PSO J318.5-22 is one of the lowest-mass free-floating objects known, perhaps the very lowest, researchers said.
But its most unique aspect is its similar mass, colour, and energy output to directly imaged planets.
"Planets found by direct imaging are incredibly hard to study, since they are right next to their much brighter host stars. PSO J318.5-22 is not orbiting a star so it will be much easier for us to study. It is going to provide a wonderful view into the inner workings of gas-giant planets like Jupiter shortly after their birth," said Dr Niall Deacon of the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy in Germany and a co-author of the study.
PSO J318.5-22 was discovered during a search for the failed stars known as brown dwarfs. Due to their relatively cool temperatures, brown dwarfs are very faint and have very red colours.
PSO J318.5-22 stood out as an oddball, redder than even the reddest known brown dwarfs.
The planet is extremely cold and faint, about 100 billion times fainter in optical light than the planet Venus. Most of its energy is emitted at infrared wavelengths.
The team followed up the PS1 discovery with multiple telescopes on the summit of Mauna Kea on the island of Hawaii.

Five Things You Should Know About Vine
I Vine, do you? Twitter recently released a new video-sharing app that allows you to take short videos and share them with your social audience. Vine is still in the early stages, but if you're like me, you'll want to get your hands on it and give it a whirl.
Here are the top five things I learned about Vine:
1. Just Six Seconds – Vine is a video-sharing app which allows you to take 6-second, looping videos and share them in real time via Twitter and Facebook. Vine feels a lot like Instagram, but for video content rather than images. It's great for stop-motion animation and allows you to make a series of short videos. It's an impressive new tool for storytelling.
2. Twitter is Vine's Parent – You heard that correctly, Vine is owned by Twitter, but you won't find much push from Twitter about it. While we've seen video sharing services before, none have been backed by Twitter, so this could be Vine's big difference.
3. It's Simple – Making videos in Vine is so easy, anyone can do it. All you have to do is sign up using your Twitter account, tap the video camera button and follow the directions. It's as easy as point and shoot (better yet, point and tap). Once you've taken your video, tap next and upload your content. Share it out and watch the smiley faces roll in! One thing to note is that when viewing videos using a website or social media, the sound is automatically disabled. If you view any videos directly on the Vine app, you'll be able to hear the sounds that are associated with each video.
4. Vine Already Hit Major News Markets – In one of its most shining moments so far, Vine was used to capture a short video of a dolphin stuck in the waters near one of New York City's harbors by NBC's New York City news affiliates.
5. Some Brands are Early Vine Masters – There are already some early adopters using Vine, and so far they seem to get it. Dove tells a good story with some of their new shower gels used as bowling pins and a bar of Dove soap as the ball. Gap has also jumped on the bandwagon, showcasing their 1969 denim line. Calvin Klein also employed it for a Big Game blackout tweet.
Currently Vine is only being offered for iOS, but I don't doubt Android will be too far behind. Have you joined Vine yet? Share your videos with us and tell us your six-second story!

Remains of the Day: Angelina Jolie Doesn't Want You To Smell Like Shiloh
If I see one more picture of Angelina today, I shall surely puke. Is she going to sue the Shiloh Hotel chain. The nerve of them. By the way, that picture of Angie holding Shiloh was the last one made – six months ago.
Likewise, I'm on serious Brang overload at the moment. I cqn't take anymore!!! For I think it's time to my own sanity, I think I need to firewall them on my computer. No pictures, quotes nothing. At least for a few days. Until they split up or something.
Shes probably just pissed off because she didn't think of it first so she could make some money for " CHARITY"….yeah right!,,I wonder what she did with the money she made from Pax pictures?
I read today on E Online (Ted Casablanca) that Larry Birkhead got $1.7 mil for DL's pictures from OK. The money went into a trust fund for the baby – none of it went to Larry. I'll bet Angie's scuzzed at the lousy $1.4 she got from People for Pax – and she had to haul in the other kids, too. Think she'll sue Larry? lol
I've not heard of Beth Ditto…I wish I still had not heard (or seen pics of) Beth Ditto. Whoa…she's…whoa what a train-wreck!

Ehm, this may be a little bit last minute but:
From Nov 14th to Dec 8th I intend to cycle from (roughly) Pretoria to Cape Town. I wanted to do this alone but now because everybody is telling me that is way to dangerous. So I am looking for someone who wants to join me! It should be a marvellous ride. Sent me a PM with contact details if you do...
Also if you know any better places to search for this person I am very interested to hear!

YPSILANTI, Mich. — Dr. David Vanderberg admitted three patients to St. Joseph Mercy Ann Arbor hospital Tuesday and called a fourth with news that left her in tears: She had a large abscess deep inside her back, near her spine, and would need surgery as soon as possible.
The patients were part of a second, growing wave of serious infections from the same tainted drug that caused a nationwide meningitis outbreak. The drug, contaminated with a fungus, was injected near the spine to treat chronic back or neck pain.
This public health disaster, in its third month, is far from over. Meningitis seems to have waned, but spinal infections near the injection site are on the rise. They can be dangerous and hard to detect. At least 200 have occurred, and more are expected because nearly 14,000 people had injections from tainted lots of the drug.
On Thursday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged doctors to look harder for these infections — to consider MRI scans even in patients who did not feel worse after the injection but whose existing back or neck pain simply did not get better. This advice was more aggressive than previous recommendations, which had called for scans only if patients had new or worsening symptoms. The new message could lead to thousands of additional scans and will almost certainly find new cases.
"We know we're not out of the woods," said Dr. Tom Chiller, the deputy chief of the mycotic diseases branch of the CDC.
The disease outbreak, first detected in September, was caused by contaminated batches of a steroid, methylprednisolone acetate, made by the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass. The company was shut down and has been under investigation by state and federal authorities, and on Friday night announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The filing seeks to establish a fund to compensate individuals and families affected by the outbreak.
So far, 620 people in 19 states have fallen ill, most with meningitis or spinal infections, or both; 39 have died. Infections inside joints have also occurred. Nearly all the illnesses have been caused by a black mold called Exserohilum. The treatment is a long course of antifungal drugs, which can have dangerous side effects.
Jona Angst, 45, of Brighton, Mich., did not have meningitis but learned in November from an MRI scan that she had a spinal infection, she said in an interview. She had surgery to clean out the infection and then took two antifungal medicines. The drugs caused liver and kidney problems, and because of potential heart effects she had to be on a cardiac monitor. The medicines also touched off vivid, frightening hallucinations. She saw animals and people who were not there, heard voices and came to believe that the nurses were conspiring to kill her.
She is back at home now, still taking one of the drugs, voriconazole, which she will need for months. It gives her nausea and vision problems, and saps her energy. Sometimes her husband finds her weeping, from illness, exhaustion and fear, he said. They do not know if or when the infection will go away. Her back pain seems to be returning.
"I have no clue what's going to happen," Angst said. "I'm scared to death."
Harold Rye, 73, a retired autoworker in Maybee, Mich., had meningitis and then a spinal infection. He was hospitalized twice, for a total of 43 days, and needed two operations. Before the illness he was strong and active, a gardener and deer hunter. Now, he said in an interview, "I'm so weak I can't walk through the house without stumbling."
Blurred vision, from voriconazole, keeps him from driving, and he thinks the drug is causing mental confusion, too. There seems to be no end in sight.
"They can't give me a clean bill of health," he said.
Both Angst and Rye have hired lawyers to sue New England Compounding.
"I want somebody to go to jail for this, but I don't think it's going to happen," Angst said.
In shaping its new advice on MRI scans, the CDC relied heavily on data from Michigan, which has had 223 people with meningitis or infections in their spines or joints — more than a third of the nation's cases. No state has been hit harder, and no hospital has treated more patients than St. Joseph Mercy, which has had 53 cases of meningitis and more than 100 spinal infections.
Although the infections can cause severe pain, they can also lurk in the spinal area and produce few or no symptoms, the scans revealed. They can take months to become apparent. Often an initial MRI is negative, and later ones positive. A significant number of the scans are equivocal, and the doctors generally wait and repeat them, to avoid using the toxic drugs unless they are really needed.
In many cases, patients cannot distinguish pain that might be due to an abscess from the chronic pain that drove them to seek steroid shots in the first place. But whether the infections cause pain or not, they should be treated with drugs and possibly surgery, doctors say. Untreated, the infections can damage nerves and bone, and the fungus might even eat its way through the protective membranes around the spinal column, invade the brain and cause meningitis.
"Everyone would advocate early treatment," Chiller said. "No one would want to just let it sit. It wouldn't go away on its own. You need to do something."

Just wondering… does it really matter if the meat of the potato hits the ground or does the eye need to be facing up or down? Does it really matter? Just curious.
Another thing.. how much meat has to stay on the potato before the eye will sprout. Can EACH eye be cut out and will sprout?
Thanks. Last year's potato crop was terrible.. just looking for suggestions.
I have not grown potato but I have read up on it. My first instinct was to plant the eyes upward.
But, when I think about it, roots tend to sprout from the eyes. So in that case, you plant the roots (eyes) downward.
I also read that you need to cut a good chunk of the starch with at least 2-3 eyes per chunk.
well that's not good news for me. Thanks for letting me know. I cut off ONE eye for each chunk and planted them eyes upward. It will be amazing if they grow at all then. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the news! I'll start a new row and try it again.
No problem. Hope it works out for you. I tried to grow potato, but while drying my chunks out they disappeared. I think my pets got to them… oops.
The sprouts that come from the eyes are the new plant shoots, so it is definitely better to plant them with the eyes upwards. They will still find their way to the light if you don't, but they'll take longer about it. The tubers you're hoping for are produced off that stem , hence the importance of deep planting and/or earthing up the stems as the potatoes grow.
In answer to the second question, the ideal seed potato is the size of a hen's egg, with two to three sprouts. Potatoes of that description can be planted whole; larger potatoes with sprouts from different parts of the tuber can be cut successfully, but I wouldn't split one that has, say, 6 shoots from one end. Just rub off the surplus to leave two or three healthy shoots.
Finally, the accepted wisdom is that most seed potatoes benefit from chitting before planting… this means leaving them in a cool, well-lit place, with the rose end uppermost to encourage the shoots to grow for about 6 weeks (or more) before planting. Healthy shoots will be about an inch long and green or dark in colour… not the spindly shoots you get from leaving potatoes in the dark. You still have time to do this, then select which if any potatoes to cut, and plant out in early to mid April.
If you do choose to cut seed potatoes, do so about a week before you intend to plant and leave the cut edge to dry out and form a callous; this minimises the chance of soil-borne bacteria harming the tuber on planting. More advice from the Royal Horticultural Society here:
It occurs to me to add (based on your comment that last year's crop was poor), you need to know whether the tubers you're planting are first earlies, second earlies, or maincrop in order to know when to harvest them. Assuming you know the variety, you should be able to find this information online. I'm growing potatoes in all three categories and the harvest time varies from June right through to October / November… you could expect disappointing results if you harvested a maincrop variety in, say, August.
The other thing that threatens your potato harvest is late blight… it's almost guaranteed to happen, the only question is when it happens, what you do about it and how much damage it does (which varies by variety). First earlies are usually harvested before late blight strikes; for maincrop, you want to know how blight-resistant they are, to determine whether to cut down the haulms or just cut out blighted parts and keep them growing. If this isn't a subject with which you are familiar, it would pay you to read up on it.
Assuming you know your potato variety, you can find various data on trials and blight/virus resistance at http://www.europotato.org/quick_search.php
In addition I have found a picture with a little sprout growing (eyes up)
So your decision was right after all!

Doc Rivers will be the next coach of the Los Angeles Clippers if the NBA approves the rare but not unprecedented trade of an active coach. A Boston Celtics official told The Associated Press last night that the deal would bring Boston a first-round draft pick in 2015 in compensation for Rivers. He has three years and $21 million left on his Boston contract. Rivers took over the Celtics in 2004 in the midst of the longest title drought in franchise history. The Celtics won the NBA title in 2008, made it to the finals in 2010, but now face a rebuilding program.
Wimbledon begins its two-week run today on Day One of the grass-court Grand Slam tennis tournament. Seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, who won the 2012 title, is up against Romania's Victor Hanescu in the first match of the year on Centre Court.
Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron is day-to-day after being injured in the Stanley Cup finals against the Chicago Blackhawks. Coach Claude Julien said he hopes his star center will be able to play in Game Six tonight. Asked if it was an upper or lower body injury, Julien said, "body." Bergeron was discharged from a Chicago hospital and flew home with the team yesterday. He got off the team bus at the TD Garden, went straight to his car and was driven away. Bergeron was injured in the second period of Saturday night's 3-1 loss. Chicago leads the series 3-2 heading into Game 6 in Boston tonight.
Martin Truex Jr. has won the SaveMart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, his first road-course victory and only his second Sprint Cup victory. His only other victory was at Dover in 2007. Jeff Gordon finished second, followed by Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch.
The College World Series best of three finals get underway this evening at TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha at 7:00 as UCLA meets Mississippi State. The 47-17 Bruins go into tonight having produced just eight runs in their last three games. The 51-18 Bulldogs have been the best-hitting team at the College World Series, with a .297 average. UCLA sends 9-3 Adam Plutko to the hill versus Mississippi State's Trevor Fitts. Fitts, who doesn't have a decision, will be making only his sixth start of the season in 18 appearances. Mississippi State will be playing for their first national championship while UCLA will be looking for their first title in baseball.
The last time the state's Match Play Championship was conducted at the Columbus Elks Country Club was 2001 when the match play bracket was expanded from 32 golfers to 64. Pete Godwin of Omaha topped defending champion, Knox Jones of Lincoln in a thrilling 36-hole final. This year's championship begins today with an 18-hole stroke play qualifier to determine the 63 golfers that will compete in the match play portion. Tomorrow features first round matches with second and third round matches Wednesday. Quarterfinals and semifinals are Thursday with a 36-hole Final Friday. Involved in the competition from Northeast Nebraska include Norfolk's Lance Lawson, Matt Lenser, & Todd Pospisil. Also participating are Homer's Mitchell Holgate, Laurel's Mitchell Klooz, Schuyler's Clint Kracl, Brunswick's Sam Meuret, & Columbus' Jordan Williams, Derrick Dieman, Brett Beal, Mike Krumland, Matt Hansen, Dillon Saltzman, Bret Kumpf, and Brady Vancura.

Tummy tuck surgery
What is a tummy tuck? A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is a procedure to reshape the abdomen. Firstly excess skin and fat are removed from the lower abdomen including stretch marks or previous surgical scars. Secondly I reshape the abdominal wall by tightening the abdominal muscles to give a much flatter stomach. Lastly the remaining skin is stretched and re-draped over the tummy and closed leaving all scars in the bikini line.
Who would be suitable for a tummy tuck? A tummy tuck, or abdominoplasty, is ideal for women or men who are near to an appropriate weight but have failed to lose the stretched excess skin that resulted from pregnancy or weight gain, and where an overhang may have developed.
Satisfaction ratings are very high following this procedure and a transformation in body image can be seen. It is particularly effective in people who may not have shown their stomach to anybody for years because they have be so embarrassed about their it.
For more information on a tummy tuck / abdominoplasty surgery, fact sheets and healing times, fact sheets and healing times, please either contact Simon Lee directly, or register for Simon Lee's free email newsletter and we will keep you updated with articles and information on a variety of surgical or non-surgical procedures, as well as news and special offers.

They are asking $30.00. What do you think?

text: I'm taking apart a bike for the first time and I'm expanding my tool kit to accomplish some of the tasks. I managed to get my threaded headset apart using a pipe wrench on the locknut and a 2x4 to anchor the fork. I couldn't find any flats on the threaded race, so I didn't bother to pick up a headset wrench. Anyway, now that I've got the thing apart and removed the reflector and front brake hanger (which act as spacers on the headset), I can see the two flats on the race. It appears to be designed for a 32mm headset wrench, but when I re-assemble I don't know how I'm going to tighten against the locknut with the reflector and brake hanger in the way. (I suppose I could get rid of the reflector, but I'd like a front brake). Anybody have any advice either on technique or on a specific headset wrench that might be able to squeeze in there? Sorry, no pics.
