Another topic over the last few issues is MMioTrace and its inclusion into the mainstream kernel. On LKML it was suggested to move it to a new framework in the kernel: "ftrace". It is mainly developed by Ingo Molnar and Steven Rostedt but I don't know of any web page giving more details. The only thing is a README.
Ftrace offers all kind of kernel tracing facilities and allows other modules to plug into it, build on it and offer additional features. MMioTrace is going to be one of its first users. Currently the kernel guys and pq (for MMioTrace only) are aiming for kernel 2.6.26.
The discussion of the current version of MMioTrace on LKML can be found here.
Ok, now for the usual assortment of short topics:
- benkai is spending some time on trying to get Suspend / resume for nouveau working. Currently he is in a "trial and error" phase and not sure whether he can succeed. He summarizes his findings here.
- After Marcheu finished his initial work on NV30 and he started working on NV1x Gallium. After finishing a basic driver for that card (e.g. missing texturing) he wants to buy an NV5x card and get going there (Editor: Yay!).
- Malc0 tried to fix some PPC related Randr1.2 problems. Kelnos tried his fixed and reported good results. Only remaining problem was Nouveau thought Kelnos would have a dual_link LVDS. When disabling that configuration bit, Nouveau worked fine even with text mode. Additional help came from sbriglie and moondrake which led to additional hints about the failure and fix.
- Nouveau get build via the tinderbox service from FreeDesktop.org. Current status: Green.
- Marcheu went through the heap of cards he owns and tested them for Randr1.2 compliance. He found a few bugs with NV4, NV11 and NV20 (Bug numbers #14820 to 14825) of which at least one was fixed within a few hours after Marcheu creating the reports.
Therefore, Randr1.2 is working on most configurations and NVidia hardware now, with only a few issues on NV11 and NV17 left. In fact it is working so good that Marcheu is pushing Malc0 and Stillunknown to make the Randr1.2 code default for Nouveau.
Current planning is about one month or sooner to switch the default setting, an additional month for backup reasons until the old code is removed. A short while after that we may start moving our mode-setting code into the kernel. However, that would mean that we would need then current DRM to support that plus TTM which is a requirement for mode-setting too.
Help Needed
As always: Look on our TestersWanted page. And as we want to ramp up NV5x based development: Please contact us, if you have hardware available and would be willing to donate (any kind of 8x00 card and / or PCIe motherboards).
In case you need help with Nouveau, please consider mailing to our mailing list or opening an entry in Bugzilla. It is unlikely to get support on the IRC channel, which is reserved for development talk.
Special: FOSDEM 2008
Ok, on the last weekend of February there was FOSDEM at Brussels. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend but we have some links for you about Marcheu's talk:
Videos are here: http://radeonhd.org/?page=fosdem_videos
or ftp://ftp.suse.de/private/bk/fosdem-2008/fosdem_2008_nouveau-720x576-v[234].ogg.
The slides of Marcheu's talk: http://icps.u-strasbg.fr/~marchesin/nvdri/fosdem2008.pdf
However, that's not all, let's start pestering Marcheu and with questions how the event went from their point of view.
TiNDC: How was the interest in the talk and how was it received?
Marcheu: I think the talk was well received. We had a fair number of people attending, and they agreed that eating fruit was good for one's health. Eating fruit and going to the sauna in the X.Org development room are two activities that keep people fit!
TiNDC: In your talk you presented a Gallium3D solution for older, shader-less cards. Could you elaborate a bit on that as I totally missed any reference to that topic in the logs. Thus there was no mentioning of it in the TiNDC until yet.
Marcheu: It's just a bit of plumbery to handle fixed function cards through the Gallium infrastructure. There is more to gallium that just the programmable pipeline stuff, so I think it's worth reusing the framework even in the context of fixed pipeline cards. I had given it a first try some months ago, but wrote the gallium part first, which was a mistake. I realized a bit late that it doesn't make sense to do such changes out of nowhere; you have to test those on a driver. I'm now approaching the problem from the other side, by doing a simple gallium nv10 driver first (without textures for example).
TiNDC: How does it work? How do you support shaders on cards which have none?
Marcheu: For the programmable pipeline, the state tracker emits shader instructions, which implement fixed OpenGL state. For fixed pipeline, the state tracker translates the same OpenGL state into new instructions, which are fixed-functions shaders. These instructions represent the fixed pipeline functionality, and are stored just like other shaders, and therefore the internals of gallium do not need to change. Only the front-end and back-ends of gallium need to be adapted to handle the additional instructions. This is the most straightforward way of achieving this.

After nearly 34 years together, I was proud and happy to consider what to give my wife for her 60th birthday.
I have learned over the years that life is very precious, and celebrating such a milestone birthday is a present in and of itself.
I started to ponder some of the benefits of being together for 34 years, such as having celebrated birthdays when she was getting her doctorate, in her hospital training days, and as our family grew from the two of us to three and then to four.
It is hard to imagine that, as of her birthday on May 12, I have slept each night with my wife in five different decades.
How lucky.
But what to get her for her 60th birthday?
We are not the kind of couple who gives special gifts on these occasions. Most of the time they become weekends during which we pretend we are retired and do whatever we want. It is great fun and practice for when we do retire.
But I'd inadvertently been working on a very special gift for Debbie for the past seven years. It is a gift that gives her more peace of mind, more covers at night and more space on the plane when we fly.
This gift makes it easier to move me about in case I have surgery or an accident. It promises more fun in the yard as we do our seasonal cleanup and less anxiety when we prepare for our medical checkups.
I gave her what I was never able to even imagine I could give her. For her 60th birthday, Debbie got a husband who is in the best shape of his life. I'd been working on this goal for my own 60th birthday last April. Now it has turned out to be a gift for Debbie as well.
As we age, working to be in the best shape for the new extended life expectancy is certainly worth the peace of mind that comes with it.
The thought of recovering from an injury or illness is much more manageable now without the extra 44 pounds that I shed in my journey to become fit. Yardwork is actually fun and just another part of outdoor exercising. I don't bulge into part of her seat on the plane, and my body doesn't take as much blanket to cover it.
We now view annual checkups with optimism at the prospect of finding out how much better we're doing. Most importantly, I've found that exercise is a great stress reliever, so we are now both stressed out much less often.
All in all, Debbie appreciates the benefits of me putting in the time to work toward a Men's Health magazine body, with the guidance for the past year of personal trainer Sam Kappel.
At any age, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
Enjoy the journey,

Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Type I
National Organization for Rare Disorders, Inc.
It is possible that the main title of the report Hereditary Sensory Neuropathy Type I is not the name you expected.
General Discussion
Hereditary sensory neuropathy type I (HSN1) belongs to a group of similar but distinct genetic disorders characterized by abnormalities affecting the nerves, especially of those of the hands and feet. These degenerative disorders of the nervous system (neurodegenerative disorders) are slowly progressive and predominantly affect the sensory nerves, which frequently leads to loss of feeling (sensation) in the hands and feet. This sensory loss is due to abnormal functioning of the sensory nerves that control responses to pain and temperature and may also affect the autonomic nervous system that controls other involuntary or automatic body processes. Specific symptoms can vary widely from one person to another. HSN1 occurs due to mutations in specific genes and is inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. There are several subtypes of HSN1 designated A through E, each one associated with a different gene.
The hereditary sensory neuropathies (HSNs), also known as the hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathies, include at least six similar, but distinct inherited degenerative disorders of the nervous system (neurodegenerative) that frequently progress to loss of feeling, especially in the hands and feet. Some of these disorders have several subtypes based upon the specific associated genes. The classification of the HSNs is complicated, and the experts do not always agree on it. Furthermore, HSNs are classified more broadly as peripheral neuropathies or disorders of the peripheral nervous system, which encompasses all of the nerves outside of the central nervous system. NORD's Rare Disease Database has separate reports on HSN2, HSN3 (which is related to, or identical with familial dysautonomia), and HSN4.

The collapse of THQ saw many prestigious properties sold off to other developers; effectively leaving many fans scared for the future of their beloved franchises. The acquisition of the WWE license by 2K Games, however, was an exciting one because it signalled that serious change may be on the horizon for the annual video game franchise. Fans of the WWE have been long awaiting a glimpse at the previously announced WWE 2K14, and 2K has obliged those desires — releasing the game's debut trailer.
As was previously announced, The Rock is front and centre on WWE 2K14's cover, and it's evident by the trailer that the Great One — along with several other well-known past and present Superstars — will each play a prominent role in the game's single-player mode. Legends such as Stone Cold Steve Austin, Randy 'Macho Man' Savage, and Shawn Michaels will all be featured in the new game, as will current Superstars like John Cena, Dolph Ziggler, and Ryback.
The tagline for this year's iteration of the WWE franchise is "Become Immortal," which is an indication that the story mode will revolve around taking the necessary steps throughout a career to reach the ranks of an accomplished Superstar such as The Rock. This is of course just speculation, but its reminiscent of themes that have been present in past WWE titles.
There's still plenty of content left to be unveiled for WWE 2K14, and all of it will be arriving in a timely manner. The game's final roster is also still unknown, so that revelation should prove fruitful for die hard wrestling aficionados.
WWE 2K14 will body slam onto the Xbox 360 and PS3 on October 29th.

Hometown Invasion Tour, 5 years later
Recently my my friend Charles (and a host from my trip) asked me a few questions looking back on my Hometown Invasion Tour. It's been just over five years since I hit the road and a day doesn't go by where I don't think about it. Something as small as having my iTunes on shuffle where a song will come on that someone gave me during my trip, or one of the songs from my top 20 played list will come on. They all bring something to the front of my memory, a moment, a feeling, often of one of the several hundred people I met.
It's very common for me to relive little moments. I regularly find myself going through the archive of photos to see where I was five years ago to the given day, every day was a truly new adventure between September 8, 2006 and September 17, 2007.
For example, five years ago today I was in Minot, North Dakota. It was perfect timing to be in Minot. I attended the Norsk Hostfest, North America's largest Scandinavian festival. I was 23 years old in a crowd with an average age much closer 70. It was the sixth state of the 50-state road trip and hardly a month into a 12 month adventure.
A Little Background
I wouldn't meet Charles until my stop in Maryland (the 32nd state). Before knocking on the door of my hosts homes I rarely knew much more about them than perhaps how old they were, what they did for work, or how they heard about my trip. Charles, a fellow MSU alum, heard about the trip through one of the many MSU media outlets. He was no different, I knew very little about him before knocking on the door to stay there for a few days.
I remember getting close to Potomac, MD to meet my new host. I got off the highway and was driving down River Road where I was seeing the biggest houses I had ever seen. I started to get excited thinking, "Where on earth am I staying tonight?" I arrived at Charles' house, and quite the house it was. But by comparison it was a dollhouse to some of the other houses in town. The owner of Six Flags was around the corner, Eunice Kennedy Shriver lived on the other side of town, Michael Jordan had a house there during his time with the Washington Wizards.
My stop at Charles' is one I've told over and over again in the years since. I was completed fascinated. Out of all my hosts it was this one that maybe contrasted the most with my background growing up. None of that mattered, Charles became an incredible friend. He inspired new thoughts, provided quality conversation, and has been a role model in addition to a friend.
I've seen Charles twice since the trip. I hope it was as meaningful to him as it was me.
The Highs and Lows
"What moments from the Hometown Invasion Tour stand out the most for you? I'm asking about the highs, but also the lows."
There weren't many highs as high as the day I left. On the morning September 8, 2006 I left my hometown in Baraga. My Jeep was the cleanest it would be for the entire trip. A news station came to cover the story and we had a small group of close friends over to wish me safe travels as I headed to Milwaukee for my first stop. It was a cold, damp and drizzly morning, but it felt like one of the sunniest days of my life. There was this amazing sense of accomplishment, I couldn't stop thinking, "I'm doing it! I'm actually starting this 50-state journey!" I remember driving and shaking the steering wheel out of excitement, turning the music up high, rolling down the window and singing at the top of my lungs while driving. Looking back to this moment I'm always reminded of this quote…
"I find I'm so excited, I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head. I think it's the excitement only a free man can feel, a free man at the start of a long journey whose conclusion is uncertain." — Red, in Shawshank Redemption
Exactly one year later, September 8, 2007, I returned to Michigan. For the first time I actually had people driving with me, my good friendsAmanda and Kevin. I don't think they will ever know the emotions I was experiencing. They probably thought I was pretty crazy. I had never been so excited in my life. As we approached the Michigan boarder and back to East Lansing where the idea was born.
In between there were many other highs (a few of them listed below) and a few lows.
The lowest point of the trip came in Louisiana. Louisiana was my 25th state, I was halfway through! On the night I arrived it was St. Patrick's Day and Michigan State was playing in the NCAA Tournament. I was excited to get to Baton Rouge and celebrate. Turns out my host ditched me. All of a sudden she wasn't returning phone calls, and wasn't at her apartment when I arrived. Her roommate shooed me away having no idea who I was and seemed to have no interest in my story or trip. It took me four hotels to find a room available.
This week in the middle of the trip I was completely exhausted. I hadn't seen a familiar face or place in months. I had been on the road for months and just wanted to be home. I never wanted to give up, it was never a thought. I told my parents I wouldn't return to Michigan until I saw all other 49 states. And so was the case. Fortunately I was able to see my parents not long after this stop in Tennessee where I had a few days of R&R.
A Friend Everywhere I Go
"Which people that you met in the tour are still in your life today?"
No different from high school or college, it seems that as the years go by there are fewer and fewer people I'm regularly in touch with. As we all go through life there are so many changes, and I think it's something that naturally happens. I wish I were able to see them all and talk to them regularly. Each year there are a handful of hosts that still send me a Christmas card. Sometimes my phone will ring and it's a former host and my face lights up in excitement.
There have been very few hosts I've seen since my trip. My friends from Boise, hosts in Plano, Charles and Jon in Potomac, Karen in Pittsburgh. A few others, but the list is quite small.
Quite frankly Facebook is a blessing. For the sole purpose of keeping in touch with hosts from my trip Facebook has been incredibly helpful. It allows me to keep up with their lives, see what they're doing, and at least congratulate them as they go through new adventures in life as well. Of course I'm thrilled anytime I see a familiar name who 'likes' my status. It's just enough to make me smile and bring a few more memories to the front of my mind.
There is one thing I feel is odd. At times I'm doubtful my hosts have as much sentiment towards me as I do them. My entire year was something special. It's a year of life fully lived with new experiences. Each host is meaningful to me in different ways. But for them, I'm not sure it's the same? For some hosts they had to go to work in the morning while I was out exploring, they were still living their routines for the most part. For me each week was part of a life changing year, where a single week (usually closer to three days for each host) for them may not have been that much out of the ordinary. If they took me around town for example, they were already seeing places they had seen many times before.
My hosts made big impacts on my life. I remember being with Charles exploring a small tall in Virginia when we ran into one of his friends. Charles apologized later after his friend cynically asked, "What's in it for these hosts?" In short all I wish is that I was able to make at least a small but positive impact in their life, they certainly made a large one in mine, and I'm grateful for it.
It's a great feeling to believe that I have a friend in every state in the country. I'm hopeful that I could show up in any state and find an old host that is still willing to have me for a night or two.
"If you could plan and do it all over again, what would you do differently, if anything?"
Hindsight is 20/20. That's true. Looking back it's easy to see what I could have done better. I could have experienced more, documented more thoroughly, met more people, taken more photos. But during the trip I think I did a pretty darn good job of making my dream come true and living each day to the fullest. I also learned that truly living each day to the fullest is difficult and exhausting.
I learned a lot about what I would do differently if I do it again. A lot of it has to do with balance. It was very difficult to balance planning and documenting the trip versus just living and enjoying the trip. Additionally, there were a few moments on the trip where I feel a little regret. One example is in Hammond, Montana. On my last full day there we finished up work on the ranch a little early. Lester and Reneta were heading to a square dance in town, but Carsten was feeling a little sick and decided to stay home. Rather than going out I stayed back with Carsten and watched the MSU vs. Ohio State football game. I still kick myself over it, feeling I should have gone to the square dance. It's one more experience that would be completely new since I've never been to a square dance.
My ambitions were very quite large when I left. I wanted to document substantially more than I did. Little did I know how much time and commitment that was going to take. But overall there is very little I would change.
Here's something fun… One thing I wish I knew in advance was how popular Rice the Squirrel was going to be. He became a mascot of the trip and people loved him. Photographing him in every state was something that came up last minute, it was just something small I was going to do on the side. Turns out it became a big part of the trip. It was something I never expected, but if I ever do another trip I'm better suited to anticipate these things.
Oh, How the Web Has Changed
"Have there been any technological developments/advancements since 2006 that would have changed the way you did and shared the tour?"
It is mind boggling how much has changed on the web since 2006. In hindsight it is easy to think of hundreds of things I could have done better with the website. But I'm also much more knowledgeable about web development than I was five years ago. I'm capable of things I never knew I would be. There were so many things I was doing wrong! The site was built in tables! C'mon really Bugsy, tables? Shame.
When I left on my trip Twitter existed, but was known to very few people. Facebook was around but not the tool it is today. There were no Facebook pages, and promoting and sharing links wasn't nearly as effective. And there was no like button. Oh, and MySpace was still popular.
I remember getting a message from my friend John in December. He was telling me about this site called Twitter and how it was going to be big one day. I signed up for an account, checked it out, and basically was like, "I don't have time for this". I'm still considered an early adopter of Twitter, and he may be the only person I know who signed up before me.
If I left on another trip today I would be much better equipped. Imagine what I could do with Foursquare? Has there been anyone to check into a location in all 50 states yet on Foursquare? The integrations with geo tagging? If I only had an iPhone, but that didn't come out until January 2007. And wireless was much more scarce five years.
Big Fish Stories
In the last five years there are a number of stories I've told countless times. Some of the most common stories include my close call with carbon monoxide, an unexpected murder, my stop in Las Vegas, a surprise in New York City, the MSU Hockey National Championship, and meeting Jake Burton.
As each year passes and the more I've told them, the more each story seems to become a big fish tale. Turns out my favorite movie is Big Fish. In the movie the father tells all of these stories his son who never believed them but in the end the son finds out they were all true (just a little exaggerated, you know, big fish stories).
I never doubted that people believed my stories. But even I had become far removed from them. I had told them so many times without being able to relive them or reminisce about them with the people that were there. Sometimes I feel they aren't valid.
I had a special moment this Spring. Five of us from the Traction staff took a road trip to Minneapolis, not far from White Bear Lake where the carbon monoxide scare happend, one of the biggest fish stories. I told the story to the Traction crew on the drive up, no different than the many others I've told. But on Saturday morning my host Mark was able to join Jon and I for breakfast. Without me mentioning it, Mark brought up the day he claims I saved his families life and told it to Jon nearly word for word as I told Jon a day before. It was validated! Jon was there to hear it, someone finally heard this story through someone else's mouth other than mine. I thought, "It's true, this story is true!"
Difficult to Relate
Stories, stories, stories. I actually feel a little guilt when I start talking about my trip, because I can't shut up once I do and I hope my friends don't get sick of me talking about it. When I talk about it something changes in my heart.
I lived the trip entirely on my own (ok, yes there was Rice too). At most I shared seven days out of a full year with a few select people. I can share those memories with them. But the trip as a whole was just me. It was only me driving for hours, only me who got ditched by hosts, surprised by my family in NYC, fell in love, or met my idols.
At times I feel I don't talk about it as much as I could (or even should for my own good) because I find it difficult to express these feelings and emotions I lived when nobody else was there.
But believe me, if anyone ever wants to listen and hear some stories, I'll talk for hours one state at a time.
In Summary
Charles asked me to write this a while ago and I should write more about these memories. I knew it would take a perfect moment and a good chunk of time to get it all out. It brings a flood of emotions and a ton of smiles thinking just how incredible it all was. Part of telling these stories over and over again and writing more down as I remember is because I fear ever losing these memories. They're some of the best I have.
There is no doubt it changed and shaped my life forever. Reminiscing about the trip leaves a satisfying feeling. I set this really lofty goal for myself while having no idea what I was doing and there were plenty of doubters. It has opened a lot of doors, but the most important door is the one that helped me realize what I can achieve and what it takes to get there.
I've been playing some of my favorite songs from the trip to bring some of those emotions back to life while writing this. As I close this out I'm playing "My Way" by Frank Sinatra. Because in the end, I did it my way.

2nd day hair!
I am having a hard time trying to get 2nd day hair. I want to wear it down, but I usually put it up in a bun or ponytail. What do you do to get decent 2nd day curls?! TIA! :)
Sent from my SGH-T589 using CurlTalk App
Have you tried pineappling? I pull my hair into a high, loose ponytail at night and throw on a satin cap. In the morning, my curls are still full...I wet lightly with a spray bottle and apply a dime sized amount of shea butter. Shake and go!
My curls don't do well with the pineapple so I put two low ponytails in my hair pretty loosely and then sleep on a satin pillow case
Pineapple works for me when done correctly. I usually take my hair down, shake out and separate my curls. It usual looks well and if it doesn't, I add a bit of conditioner to my dry hair.

Once again, I'll make the point that (one I make every time this discussion comes up), if there is oil or other lubricants in the bore of your gun, or on the bolt, etc., plain water may NOT be enough to remove all traces of corrosive fouling.
That's why bore cleaners used by most militaries contained alkalies, soaps, etc.... to REMOVE any oil that might be hiding traces of corrosive priming.
That's why it's a good idea to adopt the same cleaning process that served well militaries world wide for many decades.
Adding a little bit of soap or ammonia or whatever to your cleaning solution isn't hard, its not going to hurt anything, and in fact, it may well stop PREVENTABLE damage to your gun.

Even tournaments that allow FW usually do it on a unit basis. FW army lists are still not allowed. I think that makes sense as those army lists are made for specific campaigns in the FW books and are balanced to regular 40k.

3 Things Local Admins Can Do That They Shouldn't
BeyondTrust, March 29th, 2011
Eliminating local admin rights from Microsoft Windows users is not just a nice thing you should do, but in fact a mandatory best practice for all of today's enterprises wishing to stay secure and compliant.
There are three things a user can do if they have administrator (admin) rights which can dramatically effect your corporation's security and compliance standing:
- Take the PC out of the domain: Taking your local machine or laptop out of the domain means that corporate policies managed by Group Policy are no longer in effect and the user now has the ability to break security practices and cause harm such as sharing sensitive data that would otherwise have been protected.
- Modify IP addresses: This could allow the user to surf the web anonymously potentially creating a compliance or even a legal issue if he (or she) is perpetrating fraud. Even more points go to the industrious insider who succeeds at IP spoofing: using someone else's IP address to perpetrate a crime and then return to their original IP address to cover their tracks.
- Hack the registry: This is the most serious of the issues as once you do this , you can modify security settings, modify application settings, modify anything in the registry and effectively implement any malware or rogue program desired.
Each of these things done independently can cause significant problems for the IT department, internal help desk, Chief Security and/or Compliance Officer as well as the outside auditors.

According to JonLord.org, former DEEP PURPLE keyboardist Jon Lord took a novel approach to "Child In Time" during rehearsals in Hungary for last night's (September 18) concert in Budapest.Ignoring the keyboards present at the rehearsal facility, he decided to try out the old DEEP PURPLE classic on piano. Singer Kasia Laska was at hand with her camera, and in the clip below is a rare glimpse of a new version of an old classic; "Child In Time", the piano version. At the concert in Budapest, Lord played the song on Hammond organ. Lord performed his "Sarabande" suite from 1975 in its entirety at last night's show. "Sarabande" is one of Jon Lord's most successful and most loved orchestral works. Recorded in Oer-Erckenschwick near Cologne, Germany in 1974 with the now-defunct Philharmonica Hungarica orchestra conducted by Eberhard Schoener, the full suite comprises: * Fantasia
* Sarabande
* Aria
* Gigue
* Bourrée
* Pavane
* Caprice
* Finale The original recording also featured Andy Summers on guitar (later with THE POLICE), Pete York on drums, Mark Nauseef on percussion (later drums with IAN GILLAN band and THIN LIZZY) and Paul Karass on bass.
"I have taken the opportunity to brush-up the 1975 orchestrations, and have therefore also orchestrated 'Aria' — which was played on piano and synthesizers on the recording, and 'Caprice' which was just the group," Lord said. "The 'Finale', too, has had a make-over to allow the 'parade of themes' section, which was done with tape-loops on the recording, to be played live. Had a lot of fun doing it, too." The complete "Sarabande" suite will also be performed in Sofia on October 30 and in Essen on November 15.

'They were instantly reading high levels of carbon monoxide'
HAPPY VALLEY, Ore. - Carbon monoxide poisoning sent a family of five to the hospital Tuesday morning.
The incident happened at a home in the 8500 block of Southeast Constance Drive in Happy Valley.
According to Brandon Paxton, spokesman for Clackamas Fire District #1, they got a call for medical around 6:40 a.m. When crews arrived, they immediately suspected carbon monoxide poisoning.
"They quickly got their gas monitors, turned them on and were instantly reading high levels of carbon monoxide," Paxton said.
The readings showed 120 parts per million, which is a significant amount of carbon monoxide. On a normal day, you will have between .5 and 5.0 parts per million in your home.
The family consists of two parents, two teenagers and a grandparent.
"The worst off was semi-conscious and then we had varying degrees of exposure," Paxton said.
Providence public relations manager Lisa Helderop said in a statement that the family is expected to make a full recovery. Paxton said they all received hyperbaric treatment.
Investigators say a faulty swimming pool heater is to blame. The family has an indoor pool on the lowest level of the home.
"Even though we're in the summertime and a lot of people think they're not heating their home, you still may be using natural gas or some other product of combustion to heat your water in your home or your pool," said Paxton. "So it's important to have a working carbon monoxide alarm. They are equally important as having a smoke detector on each level of your home. And due to the fact that carbon monoxide is colorless, odorless and tasteless, it's important to have a mechanical feature there to alert you."
How can you tell if you or someone else is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning?
"The people we see tend to be fatigued, lethargic, have nausea, are vomiting or have bright red skin," Paxton said. "Those are the key indicators."
With carbon monoxide poisoning, time is of the essence - if you notice the symptoms get out of the home or other enclosed area immediately and call 9-1-1.
The best way to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning is to have your gas appliances inspected regularly by a qualified technician (NW Natural offers free inspections). Here are some more tips:
- Make sure all vents and chimneys are properly installed and inspected regularly for improper connections, visible rust, or stains.
- Keep chimneys and vents free of debris, such as leaves, creosote, and animal nests.
- Make sure heating equipment and appliances are installed correctly and maintained regularly.
- Installing and properly maintaining a UL approved carbon monoxide detector can alert you when a certain level of carbon monoxide is in the air, but should not replace regular maintenance on appliances. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation. Contact your state fire marshal's office for information regarding proper placement, testing and maintenance of carbon monoxide detectors.
- Look out for problems that could signal improper appliance operation, such as: Burning or unfamiliar odors, furnace constantly running or unable to heat the house, moisture inside of windows, soot.

Okay, I will try. For the money, I'd look for a used left handed Wingmaster. I just greatly prefer the ergonomics of the Remington. For a lefty, the regular BPS is another fine pump. A bit more robust than a 37 which is good with stout loads. I had 3 and never a single bobble. But, I could never grow to love the having to load through the bottom and magazine for a FAST additional shot. That turn it over and jiggle crap doesn't get it with geese leaving the decoys, and I wouldn't think it great in a home defense situation, although if you really think you might need additional rounds fast for real honest HOME DEFENSE I think I would look at moving even before buying a shotgun. There is nothing wrong with the Ithacas, but I just never "got it" where the devotees are coming from. I have shot a slew of them. It's a pump gun, not a Purdy.

Farmers need water, not empty promises
Media outlets have been reporting on the rising cost of food. But they never give the real reason why!
I realize there is a drought. I am not a uninformed person. The main reason why the farmers have less and less water is because of Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, here in California, have formed an alliance with the Environmental Water Caucus. This agency is keeping the water flowing through the Delta from going to the farmers in order to protect the Delta smelt fish. Anyone can go online and read about it for themselves.
When President Obama visited the Central Valley, the farmers for a moment had hope. The president pledged $180 million to help the farmers. He told them $100 million would go directly to these farms. These farmers need water, not a pledge.
I think the moral of the story is, your government is not here to help anyone after all, but just to take, and have control over the little guy trying to survive. Anyone can help by calling their representatives or senators in Congress. We all need to try and make a difference.
— Jane Jessee, Upland
Bringing farm workers plight to light
I saw the recent release of the film "Cesar Chavez." It reminded me of the many events that occurred during the prolonged struggle with the entrenched growers of California. I was delighted that the screenwriter included Richard Nixon's offer to use our military to buy excess grapes in order to weaken the international grape boycott. (The Republican Party still can't figure out why Latinos distrust the GOP.)
The movie mixes up some of the sequences of events. For example the March from Delano to Sacramento happened in 1966 — before his first fast. And Robert Kennedy held Senate hearings after his first fast. Nevertheless, I enjoyed the tone of the film that brought home the very hard struggle that farm workers face in trying to eke out a just living from their work.
It may interest local historians that Cesar Chavez visited our area very soon after his first fast in March 1968. As president of the San Bernardino Mexican American Political Association (MAPA), I had the privilege of coordinating his itinerary that included quickly arranged visits to: the Redlands Ministerial Alliance for a breakfast; an assembly for students at Redlands High School; a luncheon with students and faculty at Valley College; an assembly at the UCR gymnasium; an interview at KVCR; a press conference at MAPA Hall on Mt. Vernon Avenue in San Bernardino; a reception at MAPA Hall; a rally at La Placita Park in San Bernardino; and, lastly, a visit to an Ontario MAPA reception at an ungodly hour of 10 p.m.
All told, Cesar Chavez saw over 3,000 people that day.
My role was easy, as I had lots of help from the members of MAPA that included the current owners of El Chicano Newspaper, Bill and Gloria Harrison, as well as faculty and staff at Valley College, Redlands High and UCR.
Cesar Chavez struck me as a genuine folk hero who desired no fame for himself but rather success for his beloved National Farm Workers Association (NFWA).
I'm hoping the film sensitizes us all to the ordeal that farm workers endure to bring food to our local markets.
Ever wonder how little a farm worker earns for picking a lug of tomatoes — approximately 28 pounds? Let's see — at $3-plus a pound at your local market that comes to about $90 a box.
You'd think field workers could somehow get a slice of that in order to earn a decent wage. Don't you agree?

Story: Kath is smitten with her prospective new tenant, Mr. Sloane. He's tall, dark and handsome, just the type of lad that middle-aged Kath says she could 'mother.' He reminds her of what her own son might be like had she known him. Her son was born out of wedlock, though, and Kath's brother Ed sent him off to an adoption agency many years ago.
Kath's decision to rent a room to Mr. Sloane doesn't set well with her father, Kemp. The old man thinks that he recognizes the slick young hustler as the man who brutally murdered Kemp's boss a few years back. His eyesight is failing, though, and his mind wanders, so Kemp isn't taken seriously by Kath.
Mr. Sloane also comes under the scrutiny of Ed, who's estranged from his father but nonetheless pops in regularly to stir the pot. After initial skepticism, Ed warms to Mr. Sloane, so much so that he hires him as his personal chauffeur. Ed says that he has plans for the renter, and so apparently does Kath, who makes herself pliable and available for the attractive young man.
Will Mr. Sloane sidle up with Kath or, maybe, with Ed? And what about Kemp? Is he daffy, or in imminent danger from the mysterious renter who calls himself an orphan but is vague about his past? Someone might get hurt.
Highlights: Entertaining Mr. Sloane was written by the late English playwright Joe Orton nearly half a century ago, but HotCity artistic director Marty Stanberry says that Orton's first full-length play "is a perfect HotCity show…that pushes the limits of comedy, sex and violence."
So it does. Written in 1964, three years before the openly gay Orton's lover bludgeoned him to death, Entertaining Mr. Sloane is as dark and dangerous as it is quirky and funny. Director Bill Whitaker artfully conveys both aspects in HotCity's mischievous and mirthful rendition of a tale that remains contemporary.
Other Info: Scenic designer C. Otis Sweezey fills Kath's home -- set next to a rubbish dump, the only testament to a moribund community that never got beyond construction of its first house -- with a gallery of traditional paintings of Paris and other cities, comfortable if slightly worn furniture and drab walls in need of fresh paint. Zoe Sullivan fills her sound design with the brackish strains of early '60s jazz and pop melodies, while Meg Brinkley adds some clever touches with her properties, including a table that contains a radio.
Sean Savoie's lighting underscores the show's lighter moments as much as its more disturbing elements, and Becky Fortner's costumes add to the merriment with Kath's scanty outfits that just keep "falling off" as well as Mr. Sloane's tight pants and Ed's working-world suit.
Orton's writing has a menacing undertone that grows stronger as the play develops, even if the pacing of the occasionally tedious second act lags behind the biting comedy of the first. Whitaker's quartet of players is equal to the task of delivering the playwright's skewered dialogue, resulting in an evening full of surprises delectably developed.
Lavonne Byers has the accent and the attitude of the aimless Kath. She drapes her lustful desires for the young tenant with twisted references about 'mothering' him, all the while moving forward with her plans for sexual conquest. Byers' Kath is not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, and yet she proves a worthy adversary to Ed when the situation gets ticklish.
Michael James Reed brings plenty of bluster as well as crass, calculated desire to the role of Ed. How Ed conveys what he wants without saying it directly is one of the marks of distinction in Orton's style, which surely owes some recognition to Oscar Wilde. Reed deliciously brings out the oafish qualities that make Ed a dangerous man in his own right.
Bill Grivna has a grand time as Kemp, who's refused to communicate with his son since he caught the latter "committing a felony in the bedroom" when he was a lad of 17. Grivna displays Kemp's crotchety persona as much with his halting steps and flailing cane as with his curmudgeonly demeanor.
As the title character, Paul Cereghino ably conveys both the charm and the psychopathic inclinations of the mysterious tenant, who's basically out to get as much as he can for as little as possible.
Orton died shockingly and suddenly in 1967 at the age of 34. He left behind, though, several works that continue to sizzle with the ensuing years, including the predatory and arresting Entertaining Mr. Sloane. Under Whitaker's assured direction, HotCity makes good with Orton's evil ways.

Skip to comments.Corn insecticide linked to honeybee die-off
Posted on 04/27/2012 1:06:42 AM PDT by ATOMIC_PUNK
New research has linked springtime die-offs of honeybees with insecticides used to coat corn seeds, according to a study in American Chemical Societys journal Environmental Science & Technology on March 6, 2012. The finding might be a clue to the cause of the mysterious malady afflicting honeybees called colony collapse disorder.
(Excerpt) Read more at earthsky.org ...
icotine-Based Insecticide Residues Killing Honey Bees http://forums.castanet.net/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=39658
US study shows latest nicotine-based sprays attack insects' immune systems http://lifeabundantly-alim.blogspot.com/2012/02/new-pesticides-killing-honey-bees.html
Probably find out the big agriculture companies knew about this all along, but refused to tell? It would kill their profits.
I would say ANY insecticide would kill bees. Shame they are ingesting it.
How pure is their honey now? (if they live long enough to make it?) aren't we ingesting the insecticide also?
I was listening to C2C tonight. Some lady spoke about the nicotine insecticide. I got the impression that she was mostly concerned about the nicotine insecticide than with ANY other insecticide.
My next thought was... no matter ow healthy one tries to eat, it's impossible. What was once pure, is now contaminated "naturally".
and they wonder why people are fat. The fat is protecting them from the poisons.
Bogus! All the "scientists" in the know always told us its anthropogenic global warming that kills honey bees.
What a bogus story -
"seed coatings and planting methods killed honeybees that flew through the emission cloud of the seeding machine."
Ok, that accounts for 5 dead bees in the country.
What a waste of taxpayer money.
Yeah i domt get scared much for the environmental hyperventilations. But this bee population thing really concerns me. I dont assign blame but if theres a possible causal relationship to this seed coating then we should take it seriously.
Never do they disappear or become less deadly.
Nicotine, in tomatoes and their sibling tobacco plants are alkaloid metabolic waste that builds up inside the plant cells over time. They double as natural nerve toxins because of their formidable ability to transverse the blood-brain barrier in mammals. There is a proportional relationship between the fat-solubility of a compound and its addictive qualities, and Nicotine is up there with heroin and Valium.
The use of nicotine directly as a "natural" insecticide is almost certainly a reaction to the previous bird-killing qualities of organo-phosphate.
I would not be surprised to discover genetic-engineered corn and other crops (since almost no natural seed is in the food chain these days) spliced to produce nicotine, which would seem easy since they are naturally a part of the tobacco / tomato plant.
Now, if they would use hemp, that one also produces a less blood-brain transversant fat soluble alkaloid compound that has a different effect on insects. The bees would live but no work would get done, I suppose.
Does this mean I have to give my 2-pack-a-day Marlboro habit of 55 years? </s>
I wasn't aware that colony collapse disorder was limited to, or particularly acute in, the corn belt. I've not followed the issue closely, but I had gathered the impression that it was a national phenomenon.
I read about 6 months ago that a virus had been discovered that was causing the Colony Collapse Syndrome. Yet I continue to see articles blaming stuff like insecticides and, of course, climate change.
JADB, for your info.
"Yet I continue to see articles blaming stuff like insecticides and, of course, climate change."
Precisely. Scientific study today means nothing more than whipping up hysteria by proffering opinions disguised as research - mostly to support a favored agenda.
The fat is protecting them from the poisons.How so?
IIRC many toxins are stored in body fat.
Yeah, that's right. They are all wackos who should be made fun of whenever mentioned./s
Corn is widely grown here, we've got 900 acres of it on our farm this year, and we are NOT big corn farmers. There have been -zero- cases of colony collapse reported in Louisiana.
This hysteria is agenda-driven by a bunch of anti-chemical zealots.
"Now, if they would use hemp, that one also produces a less blood-brain transversant fat soluble alkaloid compound that has a different effect on insects. The bees would live but no work would get done, I suppose."
Buzz'ed bees" - what an idea!

Kvaerner wins $1bn onshore services contract from Shell
Norwegian firm Kvaerner has secured a contract worth 6bn NOK ($1bn) from Royal Dutch Shell to provide engineering, procurement, construction and management (EPCM) services at Ormen Lange / Nyhamna onshore facilities on the west coast of Norway.
The Nyhamna gas plant processes natural gas from the Ormen Lange gas field, located in the Møre Basin in the southern part of the Norwegian Sea.
Jan Arve Haugan, Kvaerner president and CEO, said the contract is the largest of its kind awarded in Norway in 2012.
"The oil and gas business is migrating north, and this contract will contribute to the exciting developments in the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea," added Haugan.
The deal has been signed for six years and includes options for two more years, with Kvaerner to commence front end engineering and design (FEED) work immediately.
The FEED work is scheduled to be completed at the end of 2012, when engineering and project management activities will be undertaken by Kvaerner at Stord.
Meanwhile, a site team will be mobilised to begin some minor modification work at Nyhamna.
Kvaerner said engineering and modification work will be delivered by Aker Solution at its Oslo, Kristiansund and Tromsø offices, while other companies from Mid Norway will be supporting the various project activities.

Jay-Z Depicted as Gang Member in Miami Police Dept. Banner
The Miami Police Department has pulled a truly bizarre design move while trying to bolster a local anti-gang campaign on its website. In a plea to get the public to report gang violence, the department crafted a banner that provides a crime stopper phone number and an animated depiction of a local gang. Here's where the problems begin. The banner (at left) depicts five gang members — two of which happen to bear an unquestionable resemblance to Jay-Z. See for yourself.
The central character is clearly a depiction of a well-known Jay photo where he's wearing a New York Jets jersey and hat while prominently displaying a watch. The second picture is one that was used for promotional purposes around the release of the original 'Blueprint.'
While Hov's camp hasn't commented yet, we find it highly unlikely that Jay-Z, an entertainer that just covered Forbes, would condone the police department using his cartoon likeness in such a negative way. It's also odd that the other three members depicted look straight out of the 'Grand Theft Auto' video game series. Maybe the graphic designer responsible needs to get out into the real world a little more.
Either way, the Miami New Times, who broke the news, has reached out to the police department for an explanation as to who designed the banner and why they chose Jay-Z as two out of the five members. We're certainly interested in hearing what they have to say on the matter.

MIA and Nicki Minaj to perform alongside Madonna at Super Bowl
British rapper MIA and
Nicki Minaj will be joining
Madonna on stage for the halftime show at Super Bowl XLVI this weekend.
Madonna will be performing a number of hits at the climax of the American football season, which will be contested by the New England Patriots and the New York Giants on Sunday February 5th.
Following on from last year's poorly received Black Eyed Peas set, the Like A Virgin singer has drafted in the two young pretenders in order to ensure the show goes with a bang.
Speaking to Radio One's Zane Lowe last night, MIA explained: 'Yes, I'm going to the Super Bowl ⦠I'm gonna be performing with Madonna and Nicki Minaj ⦠If you're gonna go to the Super Bowl, you might as well go with America's biggest female icons.'
Both the singers feature on Madge's new single Give Me All Your Luvin, the first track to be released from the star's twelfth studio album, MDNA.
It is her first record since 2008's Hard Candy, after which the star took time out from her music career to focus on directing and co-writing the screenplay for W.E., a film about the love affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson.

Still Feeling SentimentalBy
Today's card finishes off the projects we made at stamp club last week using the FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Feeling Sentimental. Cards 1 and 2 were shared yesterday if you missed them.
I took inspiration from Kimberley Van Diepen from StampinbytheSea.com – a lot of inspiration – I didn't change much about her card (just stamps) as I loved it that much! See her version here.
Quick funny story – last week, as my stamp club girls were finishing up this third and last card of the night, our community lost power! Instantly we were sitting in the dark with stamps in hand!! I found some candles, ladies got out their iPhone flashlights and finished this project by candlelight!! Just in case you've always wanted to try it, sponging in the dark is REALLY HARD!! LOL
Supplies used:
Stamps – Feeling Sentimental, Artistic Etchings
Ink & Paper – Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Summer Starfruit, First Edition DSP, Sycamore Street DSP
Accessories – Big Shot & Houndstooth embossing folder, Window Frames framelits, piercing tools, dimensionals
I shared this wrapped chocolate folder a couple of weeks ago and have received a few requests for the instructions. Truth be known, I didn't write them down so it might take me a minute or two, but I'm hoping sometime in the next couple of weeks, I can post them – thanks for your interest. If you've been looking for the instructions to make one for yourself, you'll just have to keep visiting me here for a while until I surprise you one day with them for FREE 🙂
Hi there, love your site. Fellow Demo here. Would you share the pocket insert dimensions for this packet. I have something similar but not two fun pockets. Thanks.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
I checked with DMV and no the trailer has never been titled in mississippi. the transaction took place in Picayune, I live in baton rouge. can you recommend a nearby attorney would could handle this issue,
and what should be the cost involved.
jeff stevens
Good morning Jeff.
We can't recommend a specific attorney, but I can point you to www.martindale.com, which is an online attorney directory that allows you to look up attorneys by area of practice and location. When you go to the site, click on "Find a Lawyer or Law Firm" and then fill in the relevant information. You can search for a general litigation attorney, business attorney or contracts attorney to help you with this.
As for costs, the legal fees should not be very expensive - - I'd say $500-$750 (but it certainly could be more if problems arise).

Dubai World Central (DWC), the world's first purpose-built aerotropolis, has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Aircraft Support Industries (ASI), the Australian firm that specializes in developing aircraft maintenance facilities, systems and equipment, to jointly provide clients with built-to-suit and related services in the design, development and construction of aircraft hangar and maintenance facilities at DWC's Aviation District.
Under the agreement, DWC will provide the plots at the Aviation District where the aircraft maintenance facilities will be built, while ASI will provide design and construction services. Both parties also agreed to later sign a joint venture agreement that will set out the details and define the respective roles and responsibilities of DWC and ASI to execute and deliver the services.
Rashed Bu Qara'a, Chief Operating Officer, Dubai Aviation City Corporation, said: "Dubai World Central's MOU with Aircraft Support Industries is a strategically important move that reinforces our ability to provide fully integrated business solutions to our clients. This partnership consolidates DWC's core offerings by giving us direct access to world-class expertise and technology that will help fast track development of state-of-the-art aircraft maintenance facilities and equipment within DWC's Aviation District.

COUNCILLORS have gone against the advice of officials and unanimously rejected plans for a wind farm amid concern over the cumulative noise and visual impact.
RWE Innogy planned to build 20 turbines between Farr and Tomatin, south of Inverness, but the site was deemed too close to the established 40-turbine Farr wind farm, which the company has been operating for eight years.
Noise, in particular, was a concern, with predictions that at two properties the levels would be close to the limits set within national noise guidance and standards. Councillors did not accept that an undertaking to turn off turbines if the noise levels were too high would provide sufficient protection.
Loading article content
Councillor Carolyn Caddick said: "I have had a lot of complaints in the past from residents, so I know noise is an issue in the Tomatin area.
"But my main concern is the cumulative visual impact of this. These turbines are 360ft high. They are higher than the 40 we already have at Farr. It would be a 50% increase bringing the whole scheme to 60 turbines."
Councillor Margaret Davidson, said: "Many people think Farr wind farm looks nice on the landscape, but putting more turbines next to an acceptable wind farm does not necessarily make for a bigger acceptable wind farm."
Keris McLeod, of RWE, said: "We are surprised councillors have gone against the planner's recommendation for approval. We have the right to appeal and are considering our options."

No KitKat for Samsung Galaxy S3 owners in the UK
We've got some disappointing news for those S3 owners who've been holding out with their fingers crossed for an update to Android 4.4, as KitKat is simply not going to happen on the international version of the Galaxy S3 (and the S3 Mini).
Previous rumours had indicated that UK owners of the S3 were going to get KitKat, speculation which was underlined by the fact that over in the US, the upgrade has been confirmed and is indeed about to roll out.
However, there's an unfortunate difference between the US and international S3, namely the amount of RAM on board, and this is the crucial sticking point. The US version has an ample 2GB, but the international edition has half of that.
Now, 1GB should still be enough to run KitKat smoothly -- after all, Android 4.4 is where Google took strides to make its mobile OS less demanding of phone hardware. But of course the problem isn't just running KitKat -- the S3 also has to cope with Samsung's overlaid TouchWiz interface, and that's the straw which breaks the proverbial camel's back. Apparently Samsung can't get that combination running smoothly enough on the international S3.
This news came from Sam Mobile, which received an official statement from Samsung to say: "As a result of the Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions' hardware limitation, they cannot effectively support the platform upgrade while continuing to provide the best consumer experience. Samsung has decided not to roll-out the KitKat upgrade to Galaxy S3 and S3 mini 3G versions, and the KitKat upgrade will be available to the Galaxy S3 LTE version as the device's 2GB RAM is enough to support the platform upgrade".
And that's the one positive piece of news here -- if you've got an LTE version of the S3 with 2GB of RAM, then you will get Android 4.4. Otherwise, if you want KitKat, then you'll need to consider an upgrade to the S5.

text: How Does the Tubular Clincher Tyre Work? When inflated, the tubular clincher (see image below), in the same way as a tubular, is pressed towards the rim. Simultaneously, the bead blocks of the profiled rubber band spread out embedding on the rim shoulders and eliminating any rotation of the tubular clincher against the rim as well as the possibility of the tubular clincher unseating. As the tubular clincher is inflated, the band side literally 'bite' into the rim shoulders. Benefits of Tufo's tubular clincher tyres: high inflation pressures - up to 15 bars (220 psi) without any damage to the rim walls, even in a case when the rim manufacturer specifies lower inflation pressures (the pressure is contained inside the tubular clincher and does not affect the rim wall), same riding quality as with tubular tyres, safe handling in case of punctures (the stability of a rider is not affected), the tubular clincher can be ridden when flat, and the fastest and easiest installation and dismantling without any tools.Check stock and price

Worms hold clue to link between cancer and ageing in humansA type of protein linked to cancer prevention in humans may also play a role in ageing, according to findings published in the journal Science tomorrow. The internationally funded research, carried out at the Buck Institute in the USA and the University of Manchester in the UK, found that proteins which prevent cancer in humans by stopping damaged cells from dividing, also determine lifespan in microscopic worms.
The findings raise the question of whether genetic variations in specific proteins in humans may protect some people from age associated diseases, while placing others at heightened risk of cancer.
In the study, which received funding from the UK's Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC), researchers genetically removed checkpoint proteins in the nematode worm, C.elegans, which resulted in a 15 to 30 per cent increase in the lifespan of the worms.
Previously it was thought that checkpoint proteins were only functional in dividing cells, but this new research suggests they have a dual function, also being active in cells that no longer divide.
Gordon Lithgow, Associate Professor at the Buck Institute, explained: "We know that ageing is a huge risk factor in cancer, and although we know the role these proteins plays in preventing cancer � or encouraging it if the proteins are not working properly - we did not imagine that this checkpoint protein would be involved in determining lifespan."
The team of international researchers, including scientists from Denmark and India, discovered the dual role of the checkpoint proteins while screening the worms for genes that determine stress resistance and longevity in cells.
Professor Lithgow said: "We have known for a long time that checkpoint proteins can influence the development of cancer, now we know they can influence longevity too. This discovery has exciting potential as an area of inquiry into a possible cellular link between ageing and cancer. We are now concentrating on trying to identify additional tumour suppressor genes that impact on ageing in worms and human cells. We think there are many more checkpoint proteins some of which may help to develop therapies for cancer and age associated diseases."
Professor Julia Goodfellow, Chief Executive of BBSRC, which funded the initial stages of the research, said: "Ageing and cancer are global concerns and it is exciting to see the success of international collaborations such as this. It is only by understanding fundamental bioscience like this that we can develop and deliver health benefits to the public in the future."

Revitalize Riverton Committee to improve City Park held first meeting; Turnout smaller than expected
(Riverton, Wyo.)- A small but interested cross section of Riverton residents attending a meeting at City Hall Thursday night discovered that two components on plans to renovate Riverton City Park are already in motion.
The Central Wyoming Skateboard Association announced that it had already raised just over $10,000 in its effort to build a new skatepark, and downtown businessman Jerry Kintzler said plans for a city park water feature already exist and that some equipment had already been purchased.
The committee was authorized by the Riverton City Council after businessman Lee Crook made a presentation last month on how city residents could reclaim the park and make it family friendly. He proposed a parking lot inside the park, establishing a water feature near the North Federal and East Main intersection and adding a splash pad, basketball courts, a dog park and other features.
While only 16 people attended what was to be an organizational meeting for the committee, they were all in general agreement that something needed to be done to increase the usage of the park by families and groups.
Kintzler gave a historical recap of how the park had been developed and the kind of uses that formerly were in place there. He said the park used to be used for ice skating in the winter, there was a Little League baseball diamond there, a gazebo for public events and an outdoor swimming pool. "Over the years facilities were relocated out of the park to other locations, and we couldn't ice skate there anymore because it warmed up enough that the ice melted. He said the Rotary Club built the band shell there, "but nothing has been done for years to improve the park."

Lee Crook opened the meeting and told of goals for renovation of City Park.
Wyatt LeClair made a point during the discussion Thursday night. Also pictured are, from left, Bryan Johnson, LeClair, Ethan Dale and Robert Dodrill.
Chris Amend said he was ready to support the renovation effort but wanted to see more concrete plans.
Nearly half of the meeting was taken up in discussing the negative perception that most people hold of the park because of it being a "hang out" for intoxicated people and how to overcome that perception.
Of the 10 youthful skateboard enthusiasts who attended the meeting, several said that their parents forbid them from using the present skatepark because of its location. "The community has allowed the intox problem to persist for so long, that they're getting tired of it," said Bryan Johnson. "I'm forbidden to go to the skatepark because of that problem."
"The park isn't dangerous," said Chris McNeil, "but it can be uncomfortable for some people."
City Council member Jonathan Faubion, the city's liaison to the committee, said the council's number one goal was to target public intoxication, and he said efforts are underway "to move the needle by trying things we haven't done before." Faubion said the impending merger of the Fremont County Alcohol Crisis Center with Volunteers of America would lead to a new approach in dealing with intoxicated people. He also said the city is considering adding a call box and camera at the park to increase security.
Kintzler suggested that since the skateboard association was working hard to get a new facility for its use, he thought other groups could be organized around their particular activity and attractions could be added at the park for them.
George Wright called City Park a "showplace piece of property that is not developed."
Crook reminded the attendees that "a snowball always starts small" and he said he would not give up on plans to improve the park.
Crook said another meeting would be planned with more notice the next time to increase the number of people interested in working on the project.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is among the most severe outcomes associated with violence. In the United States, TBI is a contributing factor to 30.5% of all injury-related deaths.1 The fourth leading cause of TBI (after falls, "struck by/against," and motor vehicle crashes) is assault, which accounted for 15 341 hospitalizations and 5813 deaths in the years 2002 through 2006.1 In this issue of JAMA, Zafonte et al2 report the results of a randomized trial of citicoline, a widely used pharmacotherapy for the treatment of patients with TBI. In this trial, 9.3% of the study participants were injured in assaults. Zafonte et al2 found that citicoline treatment did not result in improvement of cognitive or functional status, and as acknowledged in an accompanying editorial by Ruff and Riechers,3 there are no specific, evidence-based therapies for patients with complicated mild or moderate TBI resulting from assault or any other mechanism. Randomized trials of interventions for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients with TBI are clearly needed, even if the interventions turn out to be ineffective. The value of "negative" studies is to expose critical gaps in knowledge and redirect attention to promising alternatives.
To further promote the scientific evaluation of promising interventions for the causes of violence and human rights abuses and the clinical management of their related health effects, including TBI, we invite manuscripts for another JAMA theme issue on violence and human rights, to be published on August 7, 2013. Authors may submit manuscripts addressing any topic related to violence, war, civil conflict, or human rights abuses. Randomized controlled trials of preventive, therapeutic, or rehabilitative interventions4- 11 are of primary interest, but we will also consider reports of observational studies and systematic reviews that address new and important findings in the fields of violence and human rights,12- 15 as well as scholarly Viewpoints.16- 18 Manuscripts received by March 15, 2013, will have the best chance of consideration for publication in this theme issue. Submitted manuscripts will undergo JAMA 's usual rigorous editorial evaluation and peer review. Please follow JAMA 's instructions for authors for manuscript preparation and submission.19 We look forward to receiving manuscripts and inquiries about prospective articles for this theme issue.
Conflict of Interest Disclosures: The authors have completed and submitted the ICMJE Form for Disclosure of Potential Conflicts of Interest and none were reported.
