Newsletter #3
May, 2009
Dear Friends and District 6 Constituents,
I have been very busy these past weeks at City Hall dealing with the budget, the Climate Action Plan, and the H1N1 flu issue. In addition, I have been trying to come up with creative ideas to mitigate: speeding traffic on our streets, insufficient street lighting, graffiti, and earthquake hazards. I have also been working closely with the neighbors around Hillside School to try to preserve the playground for community use. I welcome your input on all of these issues.
This newsletter contains information about the following:
1. HELP! Climate Action Plan
Many of you read in the SF Chronicle that Berkeley is about to adopt a Climate Action Plan. The focus of the Chron article was the mandatory energy audits and other measures that might be required of Berkeley property owners. I received quite a few emails expressing everything from disbelief to rage about the "CAP," including one that blasted Berkeley for its "environmental totalitarianism."
On May 5, the City Council will continue a discussion of the plan. I have introduced some amendments:
If you agree with these changes to the CAP, your emails would be greatly appreciated. Please send your comments to me by 12 noon on Tuesday. I am only one of nine votes on the Council, so your support is very important.

As of the writing of this newsletter (Saturday, May 2) no confirmed cases of H1N1 influenza have been reported in Berkeley. However, the City has taken every step necessary to prepare for the possibility of a widespread outbreak, in the event that it may develop. The director of our Health Department is in frequent contact with the Center for Disease Control, monitoring the situation on a daily basis. Here are the basic tips from the CDC for preventing the spread of H1N1 and other respiratory illnesses:
In the event that influenza starts spreading in Berkeley, I will email you immediately.

3. HEADS UP! Refuse Rate Increase and Mail Protest Ballot
If approved by property owners, residential garbage collection fees will be raised by about $4.20 per month for a 32 gallon garbage can. Notices will be mailed out the first week of May using what is called a "majority protest process." People must mail back their ballot in order to register a "no" vote, otherwise it is counted as a "yes" vote. Refuse rates have not been raised since July 2006. This increase is necessary to cover the projected $5 million dollar shortfall in the Refuse Fund as a result of decreased revenues for recycling materials and increased operating costs. On July 7, the City Council will hold a public hearing to determine the outcome of the majority protest process.
I suggest that if this increase is a financial burden, you should consider reducing the size of your garbage can. With increased paper and food recycling, it may be possible to go down a container size. Maybe some of you can even get down to a 20 gallon! To change your can size, call Refuse and Recycling Customer Service at 981-7270.
4. State of California Special Election on May 19th - How will you vote on the 6 initiatives?
By now you have all received your voter pamphlet for the May 19th election. But have you decided how to vote? On Thursday, May 7th at 7:00pm, Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner will be heading up a discussion on the state budget at the Northbrae Community Church at 941 The Alameda. The evening, hosted by the Berkeley Democratic Club, will also offer a briefing by the League of Women Voters on the ballot measures. It's a great opportunity to ask questions and to get answers. The League of Women Voters offers an analysis of each initiative on their website. I'll be there and look forward to seeing you.

5. Here's your chance ! District 5 & 6 Budget Workshop
Our joint workshop on Crime with Councilmember Capitelli was such a success that we decided to do another one on the City's budget.
Please join us at 7pm on Monday, June 1st at the Northbrae Community Church, 941 The Alameda. City Manager Phil Kamlarz will explain Berkeley's financial situation and will answer questions.
6. Hollywood comes to Berkeley
Some of you may have noticed film crews and trucks down on Shattuck at Saul's and Oscar's last week. On Sunday, May 5th, the same crews will be shooting on location at Cragmont School. Berkeley is lucky to have been chosen as the location for a TV pilot called 'Parenthood', produced by NBC. Crews will only be at Cragmont for one day. Police will be on hand to manage traffic and parking.

What to Do When You Are REALLY Down
Note from Bill: In my video sales tip yesterday (go to http://sales.napl.org/sales-resources/ to view), I talked about hitting the sales wall and feeling discouraged. There is a dark place beyond that where a sales rep goes and often never comes back. I've been there both in my personal and professional life. What you are about to read is the story of how I got back.
This blog is to be read and the instructions followed only if and when you have hit rock bottom. You know the feeling if you are in sales. We've all been there:
If I have just described your present mood, keep reading. If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands, then print out this blog, put it in an envelope, and write, "Open in case of emergency."
Do it. I'm not even kidding a little.
Okay, back to you who are down in the dumps. Come with me. We are going to take a journey together.
What would be the outcome if you spent your day saying the following over and over:
- "I am the worst sales person in the world."
- "No one is going to take my call."
- "I am never going to get any appointments."
- "Why in the world would anyone buy from me?"
You don't have to be a highly paid PI Blogger such as myself to figure out that such negative thinking is counter productive, self-destructive, and creates a self-fulfilling prophesy. Everyone agrees that you can talk yourself out of a sale, a sales call, and eventually a job simply by harboring such thoughts.
So, if that is true, can you talk yourself INTO a sale? Can you talk your way into success and even prosperity?
Bill Farquharson is a Sales Trainer and Business Development Coach for the Graphic Arts and the president of Aspire For (AspireFor.com). Bill can be reached at (781) 934-7036 or email@example.com.

Very inspiring. I won't go into details, but I have the opportunity to interact with a lot of women who are often at the very rock bottom of their personal lives. I am always looking for activities and tools for them to implement to change their outlook. I am so grateful for your blog today. (and just for the record, you finally blew Kelly Mallozzi out of the water with this one!)

Will, is there any possibility whatsoever that Medlen's UCL injury is related to his getting struck by a pitch on the forearm in his last outing? Did the Braves rush him back, causing him to alter his motion and hurt his elbow? Or is that simply impossible, and this is just bad luck/overwork?

It's possible, but unlikely. Most of this damage is insidious as I discussed with Martin, above. The change of mechanics from the hit makes some sense and probably didn't help, if it happened. Impossible to tell.

I did a similar baseball trip (minus Cincinnati) last summer. Good times - enjoy!

Will, in the Buck piece you mentioned that the Jays may try to sneak him through waivers while he's on the DL. Buster Olney mentioned yesterday that players on the DL can't be put through waivers. Which side is right?
Aug 06, 2010 09:39 AM
I think it's pretty clear that Martin's FAIL surgery is not going to work out.

OMAHA, Neb.-- A University of Nebraska at Omaha dorm that was heavily damaged by fire earlier this year has been rebuilt and is ready for new students.
University officials say students will begin moving in to the rebuilt Scott Village dorm on Sunday, when students begin moving in for the new academic year.
The Feb. 26 fire destroyed the roof and third floor of the three-story building at UNO's Scott Village. No students were injured. Investigators say the fire was caused by a discarded cigarette on an apartment balcony.

Bioinformatics is a cohesive discipline bringing together computer science statistics and biology. I collaborate widely with experimental and computational biologists. Current areas of active research include:
i) Comparison of complex biological datasets.
Biologists are fortunate to be researching in a data rich age, where gene and genome sequences from multiple species are available and can be linked either independently or through specialist databases to data types as diverse as structure, function, expression and evolutionary history. The successful mining and combination of this data can bolster traditional bench research by providing a filter or by generation of novel avenues of research (Emes Methods Mol Biol 2008).
ii) Comparative genomics of the mammalian synapse proteome.
Analysis of the post-synaptic proteome, a defined group of proteins with known importance in the processes of learning and memory, offers an insight into the development and evolution of the synapse, the basic building block of cognition. In collaboration with Seth Grant, The Sanger Institute, I am leading investigations into the evolutionary origin and subsequent modification of the protein networks of the mammalian synapse (see Emes et al Nature Neuroscience 2008, Nithianantharajah et al Nature Neuroscience 2013 and Emes and Grant Annual Reviews in Neuroscience 2012).
iii) Detection of adaptive evolution in genes and genomes.
The differential behaviour of therapeutics in varied organisms as highlighted by the disastrous effects of TGN1412 treatment during recent human drug trials has led pharmaceutical companies to re-evaluate how drug targets are selected. In collaboration with GlaxoSmithKline we have developing methods to allow the rapid identification of genes/pathways subject to differential adaptive evolution along human and experimental model organism lineages, by screening of multiple whole genome data (Vamathevan et al BMC Evol Biol 2008).

Iroquois Nationals share aloha in Hawaii
Here's a change of pace: a non-political 'feel good' story. As reported earlier this year, a passport impasse kept the Iroquois National Lacrosse team from this summer's world championship in England. The team applied their un-used plane tickets to participate in the 20th Hawaii Invitational Tournament taking place this weekend in Honolulu.
The team was greeted with cultural ceremonies and gave back too, with a lacrosse clinic for students from Palolo valley's Ke Kula Kaiapuni 'o Anuenue, one of several Hawaiian immersion schools in Hawaii.
As Cindy Luis reports in this Honolulu Star-Advertiser article, the common challenge of defining and defending indigenous rights was meaningful to participants from both cultures.
"I am proud that they took a stand," 10th-grader Lopaka Keli'ikoa-Kapolo'i said. "That's what we should do as Hawaiians — stand for our culture, stand for our rights. It was good to see that they have gained recognition."
Lacrosse isn't well-known in Hawaii, but it's gaining ground. Here's more on this weekend's tournament. Good luck and best wishes for all participants.
Side note:
After living in the 50th state for close to 40 years, I still keep tabs on events there via the Internet. (That's where I saw this story today, which prompted this post.) For all my life – and a good deal longer – the papers of record were The Honolulu Advertiser (founded 1856) and the Honolulu Star-Bulletin (founded 1882).
So, what the heck is the Honolulu Star-Advertiser? Well, daily papers almost everywhere are struggling to stay alive. Canada-based Black Press purchased both papers and combined them into a single daily in June of 2010.

Stay Gold
Last week I told you a story about Kismet. This week I have a story about Karma.
I went to visit my friends the Estonians to see if they could help me research the old bangle pictured below. I hadn't been there since I got them to turn the old graduated watch chain I got in an auction box into a bracelet. All of the links were marked 9ct and I used the scrap from the shortened chain to pay for the conversion.
Long story short, when I went in, they told me that it turned out that it wasn't gold after all. I felt bad and paid them back. On one hand, I didn't have to because they are the experts and should have done an scratch test. On the other hand, they have taught me so much about jewellery that I thought that it would be nice to have some points in the good karma ledger.
The Estonians said that they felt badly because they let their excitement colour their judgement — everything looked right about the piece so they skipped the test. Sometimes gold fever can do that to even experienced jewellers. Lessons learned: People have always faked assay marks, even 100 years ago. I still like my bracelet. And the mystery bracelet is still a puzzler but now we know it's not gold either.

Strategies to turn you into a greater blogger
Posted on May 11 2012 at 06:52:36 AM in Internet
We all want to know precisely how to compose more desirable articles, be more fascinating as well as get traffic as a result of awesome writing. The more you are writing and trying out new things the more effective a person's publishing will end up. Although we can easily also aid your writing style with different tactics. I've listed some activities that you can consider to enhance your publishing.
Uncover your own online tone of voice
Everybody has an Internet style. When we first start writing we all usually seem like robots and very unnatural inside our publishing. People don't usually loosen up whenever were article writing and also have a quite unrefined type of writing. If you're planning to blog you'll want to identify your personal Internet tone. People who blog normally have considerably far more of a speaking and comfortable tone of speech on the Internet. This will come through practice although; it's simply an element that forms with time when you get comfortable with writing along with talking about various topics. So get writing much more and also test fresh styles until eventually you actually pick one that works for you.
Simplicity is vital
Make it simple. The simpler your writing the simpler it will be to read through and understand. If perhaps you're utilizing many industry terminologies and not recognizing your visitor's expectations you'll loose them very quickly. Stick with straightforward writing and then make it engaging, nearly as if you're enjoying a dialogue with the individual who's reading through.
Be aware of Whom Your Producing For
You should consider your main audience anytime you're publishing. Just as before this can take effort to improve, as you probably won't understand your audience right away nevertheless, you really should have a target market planned and gear your posting towards them.
Read more
A straightforward strategy but an effective one. Study recognized blogs, get to know the writer plus understand his / her kind of writing. You'll be able to evaluate what works along with just what doesn't deliver the results, along with learning from their style of writing and seeing the way in which subscribers, like yourself interacts with it. Read the responses and then determine exactly how individuals are answering and engaging with the content. Additionally read courses, perhaps one published by your chosen blog writer or perhaps someone you follow. Why is the reason you follow these people and how are they adding value to you? They already know what works and also precisely what doesn't work!
Try things out
Try unique strategies and concepts. Running a blog is a fantastic medium regarding testing interesting things. Ask your own audience what they consider interesting and get advice. This is essential for developing your way with words and also your blogging style. Trial and error will help you find fresh along with successful strategies to interacting with people as well as making more interesting and practical articles.
I have listed basic ideas for improving your writing and also developing your personal way of writing. The only way to improve through can be doing, evaluating and enhancing. Also let's not forget feedback, acquire suggestions from your readership, run a questionnaire or question them through your blog or maybe social media to find out what they enjoy and also ask the pros for some blogging tips that will help you improve your blog.

Middle school teacher arrested for improper relationship with student
Thu, 26 Sep 2013 21:53:21 GMT —
A middle school science teacher is behind bars after being accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.
Cameron County Sheriff's Department deputies arrested 34-year-old Aristeo Gutierrez, Jr. on Thursday afternoon.
Jail records show that Gutierrez has been charged with improper relationship between a teacher and student.
Under Texas state law, the crime is a second-degree felony crime punishable from two to 20 years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.
Court records obtained by Action 4 News show that Gutierrez is accused of staying in touch with a 14-year-old former student.
Gutierrez allegedly wrote the girl love letters and gave her money, two rings, DVDs and two cell phones so could stay in touch.
The two reportedly kissed and intimate contact but reportedly did not have sexual intercourse.
The girl told deputies that Gutierrez planned to divorce his wife and marry her when she turned 18 years old.
In a love letter seized as evidence, Gutierrez allegedly told the the girl that she was his "soul mate" and his "first true love."
According to the court records, the two reportedly had secret encounters once the family attended a party and once when they went shopping at a local WalMart.
Gutierrez allegedly gave the teen four tickets to Schlitterbahn on South Padre Island for her and her family but she told them she won them in a raffle.
Brownsville ISD officials confirmed Gutierrez worked at Besteiro Middle School, which is located in the Southmost area just outside Brownsville city limits.
According to the school's website, Gutierrez is listed as an eighth grade science teacher.
Gutierrez remains in custody at the Cameron County Jail under a $150,000 bond.

Call it "Palin-mania."
Companies are cashing in on a new craze sweeping the country sparked by the sudden fame of John McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, reports CBS News correspondent John Blackstone.
The new cottage industry involves anything carrying her name.
Palin is, of course, no longer "Sarah Who?" and, a week after her stunning naming to the Republican ticket, Palin items have become hot properties.
From t-shirts to thong underwear, from the flattering to the not-so-flattering, sales of just about everything related to the McCain-Palin ticket have been flying off shelves, at the just-concluded GOP convention in St. Paul, Minn., on the Internet, and other settings, Blackstone says.
In Anchorage, silk screeners are working overtime to meet nationwide demand for Palin t-shirts.
"We're trying to strike while the iron is hot -- be quick," explains John Williams, production manager for Alaska Serigraphics.
It began a week ago, when McCain named her to the ticket. The iron got even hotter when Palin spoke Wednesday night at the convention.
For t-shirt makers, one of her lines was particularly inspiring: "You know the difference between a pit bull and a hockey mom? Lipstick."
"Immediately," says Williams, "I'm just like, 'God, I could reach in and kiss her! This is perfect! Everybody's gonna love it.' "
By Thursday morning, an artist was hard at work on the pitbull/lipstick design. The shirts haven't even been printed yet but, says Williams, buyers are already lining up: "They're ordering it sight unseen. They don't care. They just want it."
In one Anchorage shop, Ann Bickford was scooping up Palin t-shirts. How many? "I'm buying so many, I lost count," she laughed.
The shirts Jim Dooley is selling at his Anchorage athletic supply store keep the message simple, saying "McCain/Palin," but that hasn't hurt sales.
"We've had more people in here this last three days than we probably have in three or four months," Dooley told Blackstone.
At the Republican convention, Paul collectibles celebrated more than just her politics. One said, "A hero and a hottie."
If the souvenir sellers there had had their way, Palin might be at the top of the ticket: One item said, "Strong girls vote for Palin/McCain."
One woman says she sold all 10,000 Palin buttons she had.
Pain's leap to fame is also benefiting such Web sites as CafePress.com, which now has an inventory of 137,000 Palin-related items.
And for those who just can't get enough of Alaska's governor's celebrity, the Web is now overflowing with impersonators on video.
One, from Lisanova, has racked up a half-million hits on YouTube since its debut three days ago.
It has a McCain impersonator saying, "Susan?"
"Sarah," a Palin impersonator corrects him.
"Pawlin?" the McCain actor says.
"Palin!" replies the frustrated Palin actor.
"Do you want to be my vee-pee?" asks "McCain."
"Yes. I'll be your vee pee," is the response. "Now let's talk policy."
The t-shirts, says Blackstone, printed with pride in Anchorage, are about more than a governor, it seems.
"Alaska's waited a long time to kind of be on the map, so to speak; we're kind of overlooked up here," Williams says.
But now, Blackstone points out, the cold state has the hottest name in politics.
Some of the more popular catchphrases on Palin-related products: "Sarah-Cuda," "Palin Power," and a t-shirt saying, "I'm voting for Sarah Palin -- Oh, yeah -- and that old guy, too!" Another one: "Global warming doesn't kill polar bears. Sarah Palin does. With her bare hands."
Less flattering ones, which the other side could snap up, include these phrases: "Caribou Barbie," "McBush/Quaylen," and "McCain and the Naughty Librarian."

By Eric Pankoke on Thu, 06/03/2010
Confession time – I'm not sure I ever actually read the description of Bloomies before I agreed to review it. The screen shots looked cool and a friend said that he and his wife were into it, so that was good enough for me. Then I loaded it up and was like "hey, this is another garden game". As a result, it took me a few tries before I really was willing to give the game a chance. Turns out that was just sadly wasted game time on my part. While this isn't the kind of game you'll play for hours at a time, it's definitely the kind of game you could play for weeks on end. It doesn't seem right that a game about growing flowers could be so intriguing, but then that's part of what makes gaming so great.
The object behind Bloomies is to grow the best garden you can grow. The prime ingredient to your garden is flowers, and there are plenty to choose from. You start the game with a simple tulip to plant, but as you'll eventually be able to unlock up to 15 more plant types, including a cactus, a pumpkin and a pineapple. To put a plant in the garden you click on the shovel icon and then click on the ground where you'd like to put the plant. The plant selection screen will come up and you make your choice. Don't worry if it's not exactly where you'd like it – you can uproot your plants at any time and move them somewhere else.
Master your iPhone in one minute a day:
Sign up to iPhone Life's Tip of the Day Newsletter and we'll send you a tip each day to save time and get the most out of your iPhone or iPad.
To interact with a plant you tap on it, at which point a menu comes up. Two of the items allow you to move and delete a bloomie, which are pretty self explanatory. The cloud icon allows you to water the bloomie. You'll be doing this to each bloomie at last once each day when you open the application. I'm not quite sure how time passes in bloomies, but I've had to water mine both times I opened the app today. You'll know you need to water a bloomie because they will look really sad and forlorn. The other thing you can do with a flower is collect pollen. More on that later…
The other prime inhabitant of the garden is the bee. You start off with one bee, but eventually you'll be able to buy more. Bees gather nectar, and once they've gathered 100 units of nectar you get a "honey" coin. This is the monetary unit of the garden, so it's what you'll use to be more flowers, more bees, and decorations for the garden. Remember that pollen you collected from the flowers? Each unit of pollen can temporarily supercharge one bee, allowing them to collect massive amounts of nectar for a couple of seconds. To supercharge a bee simply click on it, then click on the pollinate button. For a short period of time you should notice your money increasing a lot more quickly. You can also manipulate garden decorations, but there's nothing exciting to do there. You either move them or delete them.
When you do certain things like planting new bloomies or adding a decoration you earn experience points. There are also certain milestones, such as planting a certain number of bloomies, which earn you extra experience. When you earn enough experience you go up a level, and this earns you stars. Stars are used to upgrade the beehive and eventually to increase the performance of certain aspects of the game, like making bloomies cheaper to buy or causing them to produce more nectar. You can also get stars once a day by clicking on the sun. The game is OpenFeint enabled, and the milestones that you shoot for are basically the OpenFeint achievements. However, you can view what you've accomplished simply by clicking the star in the lower left corner of the screen, so you don't have to wander into the OpenFeint interface if you don't want to.
The fact that you have OpenFeint achievements and things to strive for like upgrading the beehive and unlocking new plants is what really makes the game worth playing. Of course it doesn't hurt any that you don't have to constantly stare at the game to progress in it, and the bloomies themselves are so adorable! There are a couple of minor down sides to the game, though. It would be nice if there were a fast forward button for those times when you're "this" close to an achievement and you just want to speed things up a bit. At the same time it would be great if you could effectively "pause" the game so nothing transpired while you weren't playing it. This would especially be helpful if you knew you might not be able to get to it for a few days. I'm not sure if bloomies can die on you or not, but I'd hate to go to my garden after a few days off and see it be a barren wasteland. Finally, a way to mass water all bloomies that need it would be wonderful. I don't mind going to each one individually, but it does get tedious sometimes.
The graphics in Bloomies are incredibly cute. In fact, you might catch the more "manly" players out there going "blech" at the visuals just to disguise the fact that they actually like the game. The flowers are all smiley and they seem to be gently swaying in some non-existent breeze. My favorite so far is the baby cactus, a cute little green puffball with his little tongue hanging out. The bees are great too, and there are some really cool looking ones that I can't wait until I can afford. However, it would be nice if they did a bit more every once in a while than just buzzing back and forth from flower to flower.
The sound effects are a mixed bag. Hearing the chime and pop of a flower producing nectar and its subsequent collection by a bee gets old after a while. However, I can't help but chuckle every time a flower laughs. The music is nice and light and easy to listen to. Despite having my headphones on and listening to the song while working on other stuff, I'm still not tired of it yet.
This game won't be for everyone. You won't get the adrenaline rush you'd experience from a racing or FPS game. You won't feel like you're being rewarded for wrapping your mind around some complex puzzle or for strategically defeating the opposition. However, what you will get is a nice, relaxing game that you can play for a few minutes and then tuck away until the next day when you're ready to play for a few minutes again. Or, you can do like I do – turn the game on, go about doing whatever else you might want to do on your computer or whatever, and then just stop every once in a while to look and see how your flowers are doing. If you can handle that kind of pacing, there's no reason you shouldn't enjoy Bloomies.

The program to provide new VIP helicopters for the U.S. president has taken a step forward with first flight of an "operational pilot-production example" of the Lockheed Martin VH-71. The three-engine helicopter, which is based on the AgustaWestland AW101 (born as the European Helicopter Industries EH 101), had its maiden flight at the AgustaWestland factory in Yeovil, England, on September 23.
Dubbed PP-1, the helicopter was scheduled to be transported by the U.S. Air Force this month to U.S. Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland. Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, N.Y., is overall VH-71 prime contractor and systems
integrator, while principal subcontractor AgustaWestland is responsible for basic "air vehicle" design and support functions, as well as production manufacture.
PP-1 is the first of five pilot-production airframes that will complete the first phase (or Increment 1) of the program to replace Sikorsky VH-3D and VH-60N helicopters in the U.S. Marine Corps (USMC) presidential fleet. The last of the five is expected to be delivered to Patuxent River by early next year and these VH-71s will be the first to enter USMC service, according to Lockheed Martin.
During the eight months to June this year, four test examples were delivered. The first two (dubbed TV-1 and TV-2) are for flight test and the other two (TV-3 and TV-4) for systems integration by Lockheed in Owego. TV-4 will be used to confirm in-flight performance of systems previously evaluated in laboratories. In addition to these four test aircraft, a fifth was built and retained by the manufacturer.
With PP-1 now having flown, U.S. Navy VH-71 program manager Capt. Donald Gaddis said, "We're seeing real progress. [Now] we can build on [our] momentum as we deliver Increment 1 helicopters and move into Increment 2."
"We've got systems integration laboratories 'online,' helicopters in flight test and more in production for final command-and-control systems integration," said Lockheed Martin vice president and VH-71-program general manager Jeff Bantle.
"It's crucial now to charge ahead to complete this phase and continue into the next."
Increment 2 will provide 23 operational VH-71s with increased range and upgraded navigation and communications systems that meet White House requirements.
Some of the current presidential helicopters have been flying since the 1970s and are scheduled to be phased out (at three a year) starting in 2017. More than 200 suppliers in 41 U.S. states contribute to 65 percent of the VH-71 program.

Bank on a Cure researchers identify pathways mediating myeloma treatment side effects
Findings explain why certain patients suffer blood clots from thalidomide; and why aspirin works as an intervention -- data presented at the 2006 ASH Annual Meeting
Orlando, FL and North Hollywood, CA, December 11, 2006 � Researchers with the International Myeloma Foundation's Bank On A Cure� (BOAC), the world's first repository of DNA samples created to advance the understanding of myeloma, today presented data identifying genetic pathways that may explain why some patients suffer from blood clots when undergoing treatment with thalidomide for multiple myeloma. The pathways may shed new light on individual differences in the response to cancer and its treatment, and may lead to the development of screenings and tailored interventions to prevent these side effects. The data were presented at the 48th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH)1.
Thalidomide (Thalomid� from the Celgene Corporation in the U.S.) is a widely prescribed treatment for multiple myeloma that has been shown to extend and improve the quality of life for myeloma patients. However, an estimated 15% to 30% of patients treated with thalidomide suffer venous thromboembolisms (VTEs), blood clots, as a major complication. The BOAC team looked at genetic differences between patients who suffered from blood clots and those who remained event-free, and identified four gene clusters associated with the VTEs, as well as the specific changes within the genes, single nucleotide polymorphisms or SNPs, that can be used as markers to predict which patients are most likely to experience blood clots.
"We identified genes involved with drug metabolism, DNA repair and inflammation as differentiating factors predictive for which patients are more likely to experience VTEs," said Gareth Morgan, M.D., of the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, and co-director of BOAC. "It is important to note that we did not find genes involved with the blood coagulation cascade as a differentiating risk factor for the blood clots, as might have been expected. These findings will help us better understand the mechanisms that cause this problem."
Brian Van Ness, Ph.D., of the University of Minnesota, and co-director of BOAC, added, "Identifying these pathways is the first step toward telling us who is at risk. Our next step is to build this genetic data into a clinical risk model so we can develop screens to predict how an individual patient will respond to treatment, and apply appropriate intervention strategies."
The genes identified are involved with inflammation, which has been shown to link the immune system to clotting mechanisms. Other genes identified are involved with the rapid tumor reduction achieved by thalidomide that can in turn release cytokines and other tissue factors, which increase the risk of thrombosis, or clots. The genes were validated using a custom panel of 3,404 SNPs developed by BOAC working with Affymetrix.
Brian G. M. Durie, M.D., chairman of the International Myeloma Foundation noted, "In a separate presentation2 from the Myeloma Working Group, we recommend aspirin as a prophylactic treatment for blood clots in these patients treated with thalidomide as well as myeloma patients who are treated with REVLIMID. The BOAC finding helps explain the mechanism by which aspirin works in these patients, even though aspirin's familiar affect on platelets is not involved. However, at certain dose levels aspirin affects the inflammation pathways and the BOAC research shows that genes related to inflammation do contribute to the VTEs."
While these are the most advanced findings from BOAC, the researchers are also using the custom chip to identify SNPs as potential prognostic markers to predict survival outcomes. Early analysis of this research, also presented at ASH,3 is showing there may be detectable genetic differences between short and long term survivors. From these findings it may be possible to better predict which patients will need more aggressive therapies when they start their treatment.
Myeloma, also called multiple myeloma, is a cancer of the bone marrow that affects production of red cells, white cells and stem cells. It is the second largest of the blood cancers affecting an estimated 750,000 people worldwide; in industrialized countries it is growing in number and affecting increasingly younger people.
The International Myeloma Foundation is the oldest and largest myeloma organization, reaching more than 125,000 members in 113 countries worldwide. A 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of myeloma patients and their families, the IMF focuses in four key areas: research, education, support and advocacy. To date, the IMF has conducted more than 100 educational seminars worldwide, maintains a world-renowned hotline, and operates Bank on a Cure�, a unique gene bank to advance myeloma research. The IMF can be reached at (800) 452-CURE or www.myeloma.org, and in Spanish at www.myelomala.org.

FOXBORO, Mass. — For the better part of three quarters Sunday, the Patriots' defense looked like a unit that was re-energized and ready to fight back at the criticism it heard all week.
Then, with two opportunities to beat the Giants in the final minutes of the fourth quarter, the Patriots stopped making plays, which resulted in a 24-20 loss at Gillette Stadium.
After quarterback Tom Brady orchestrated a pair of go-ahead scoring drives, the defense gave the points right back. They surrendered 14 points in the last two drives, allowing the Giants to traverse 165 total yards on 16 plays.
Bottom line: The defense showed plenty of promising signs before failing twice in the final minutes.
"It's tough," cornerback Devin McCourty said. "As a defense, you hate giving up any touchdowns. Toward the end of the game, when we know it's only going to be a few possessions left, we've just got to get those stops. There's nothing we can do about it now, but this [situation] will happen again. Close games like this once you get to the end of the season, it seems like they happen each week. We've got to learn from this game and be prepared when it happens again."
The defense was phenomenal in the first half, holding the Giants to zero points, 95 net yards and five first downs in seven possessions. The fundamental differences between Sunday and last week's loss to the Steelers were stark. Rather than playing in a soft zone, they were aggressive with much more man coverage, both with the cornerbacks and inside linebackers, and they used the safeties in a more traditional role to back up the play.
Linebacker Jerod Mayo played the entire game, and Brandon Spikes complemented him well. They were fluid, communicated well and didn't appear to be lost at any point. Again, the progress the defensive unit showed from last week was unfathomably impressive.
Things broke down later, though, and they couldn't make a play when it counted. Two pass interference penalties on the last two drives — the first by cornerback Kyle Arrington and the second by safety Sergio Brown — helped the Giants work their way down the field with ease. And outside of a very select amount of plays, the Giants were inconsistent on their own merit, making those free yards even tougher to stomach.
"We just didn't execute as well, I guess," Mayo said. "We went out there with a good plan and just couldn't finish the game."
In a twist of fate, part of the Patriots' undoing might have happened on one of their biggest plays. Arrington knocked away a third-down pass intended for wide receiver Victor Cruz in the end zone, but he also collided with Spikes, who immediately went into the locker room with a knee injury and never returned.
Without Spikes, who might have been playing his best game of the season, the Patriots turned to Gary Guyton, who was pulled in favor of Mayo in the second half against the Steelers (when it appeared Mayo was limited with his knee injury). Guyton was better in man coverage than he showed in the zone last week, but he was removed from the game for the majority of the final series, forcing special teamer Tracy White into action.
Naturally, Giants quarterback Eli Manning picked on White, beating him for a 28-yard pass to tight end Jake Ballard and then the game-winning, 1-yard touchdown to Ballard. White bit on the play-action and allowed Ballard to create enough space in the back of the end zone.
Now, the Patriots are left to pick up the pieces of a second straight loss. If nothing else, they proved they can be more effective in a man-based scheme, but they've also got to display an ability to make more plays. That was a resounding theme in the locker room after Sunday's loss.
To this point, one stat in that regard has been glaring. They've only forced 14 turnovers through eight games (1.8 per game). Last season, they forced 38 (2.4 per game).
That playmaking factor sounds like it could be a focal point this week as they prepare for the Jets. At this point, after a pair of defensive letdowns, it's got to start somewhere.
"It's not a good feeling," linebacker Rob Ninkovich said. "As a defense, we played a good, solid game. Obviously, we had two times where they scored. It's obviously not a good feeling when at the end of the game you're in a good position to win. We've got to come in [Monday] and watch the tape. It's going to be a hard tape to watch because we fought through the whole game. We did make some improvements, but obviously, we lost the game. In the end, we've got to make those plays to win the game."

Standby Electric Power Systems for Agriculture
Few people realize how important a constant supply of electricity is until we lose power due to a storm or other unexpected event. For some people, standby electric power is very convenient. For others, it is an absolute necessity. In agriculture, electricity is utilized to control the environment and maintain the life of livestock, poultry, and plants, and to prevent food spoilage, avoid financial loss due to failures in harvesting and sorting, and as security of the farm capital investments.
A standby power system should be considered as a form of insurance, with the cost of installation and maintenance compared with the potential loss as a result of an extended power outage. A properly sized, installed and maintained standby electric power system can eliminate most of the financial losses and inconveniences resulting from a power outage. When an emergency standby power system is being considered, there is a tendency to cut corners on equipment based on the assumption that the system may never be needed. Equipment that cannot handle the job is little better than none at all. In fact, an undersized, under maintained system may be worse than none at all because it gives a false sense of security. When standby power is needed, it is desperately needed. It must be ready to go at a moment's notice and must be capable of handling the loads applied to it. The best and most reliable equipment pays off at such times.
Equipment required for standby electric power service include (1) an alternator to produce the alternating current, (2) an engine to power the alternator and (3) a transfer switch. In addition to the required equipment, a power failure alarm may be desirable where an outage cannot be tolerated for more than a short time. Even with an automatic start system, alarms and emergency ventilation systems should be considered for such applications as controlled environment livestock buildings. An electrical problem such as a tripped main breaker at the service entrance of a building may be undetected by the automatic power sensor. Even if it were, the situation would not be helped by turning the standby system on.

Withdrawal from Prozac
Q. I had been on Prozac for about 15 years. After I retired, I decided I really didn't need to take this drug any longer and I tapered off it and have been totally off for several months. For the last two months, I have been very depressed. Today for the first time I was able to cry for a long period of time and I thought I would feel better since I had been blocking that for so long. I feel terrible. I do not want to start on an antidepressant again, but I also cannot go on like this. I read the book "Your Drug May be your Problem" and it was comforting to know I made a good decision to get off the drug, but I didn't get a lot of help about what to do now.
A. You should seek counseling. There are many people who never use antidepressants to treat their depression and have found that talk therapy is just as and even more effective than are medication. Go through the phone book and make calls to therapists. Explain to them briefly your experience with depression and ask about how they would treat you. Ask about their experience and what treatment modality they use. Also inquire about their fee. Once you find a therapist that sounds like someone you would like to meet, set up an appointment. Keep doing this until you find someone you are comfortable with. The right counselor should be able to help you tremendously. I hope this helps. Take care.

The Los Angeles Galaxy finished the 2003 regular season as the fourth-placed team in Major League Soccer's Western Conference, ending the season with a 9-12-9 record and collecting 36 points in the process. Forced to play a league-record first eight games at te start of the season on the road while construction was completed at The Home Depot Center, the defending MLS Cup Champions posted a respectable 0-4-4 record over the first two months and went on to post a 0-9-6 road mark. In June, the team settled into a comfortable rhythm, posted a 3-1-2 record, including a record of 3-0-1 at the new cathedral for soccer in the Americas. July was a light month in league play for the Galaxy as the team spent nearly two weeks competing against some of the best club sides in the world at Peace Cup Korea 2003. After returning stateside, the team ran off a 4-1-1 record over the remainder of July and all of August, bolstered by a three-pronged strike force of Guatemalan Carlos Ruiz, Venezuelan Alejandro Moreno and recent acquisition, Colombian Diego Serna. Los Angeles finished with a 9-3-3 record at home (second-best in MLS) and led the league in attendance, drawing 329,752 fans to The Home Depot Center. That number was good enough for an average of 21,983, up 15.4 percent from the 19,047 they drew in 2002, the club's last season in the Rose Bowl.
RUIZ, MORENO AND SERNA ... THE TRIPLE EDGED SWORD: The Galaxy forward trio of Carlos "El Pescadito" Ruiz, Alejandro "El Oso" Moreno and Diego "El Humvee" Serna is pushing itself to the forefront of such combinations in MLS. After leading the league in 2002 with 24 tallies and earning Honda MVP honors, Ruiz led all goal-scorers in 2003 with 15 goals and has also chipped in five assists. Meanwhile, Moreno and Serna have come into their own in the second half of the season and have combined for nine goals and four assists (6 goals, 2 assists for Moreno/3 goals, 2 assists for Serna).
CIENFUEGOS, JONES REACH THE 200-GAME PLATEAU: Two Galaxy mainstays since the team's inception in 1996, midfielders Mauricio Cienfuegos and Cobi Jones are two of the newest members of Major League Soccer's most exclusive group, the "200 Club." Both have now played in at least 200 MLS regular season matches, and are two of just ten players in league history to accomplish the feat. Additionally, the midfield tandem comprises two of the only five players to do so with just one team, joining Brian McBride and Mike Clark of the Columbus Crew, and Jason Kreis of the Dallas Burn.
GALAXY AND THE HOME DEPOT CENTER DO THE DOUBLE: 2003 marks the first time in Major League Soccer's eight-year history that one team will host both the Pepsi MLS All-Star Game and the MLS Cup final in the same season. The Galaxy and The Home Depot Center, the new cathedral for soccer in America, presented the 2003 MLS All-Star Game on Saturday, Aug. 2. The All-Star Game was a hotly contested battle between a team of MLS All-Stars and Mexican club CD Guadalajara in front of a sold-out crowd of 27,000 that resulted in a 3-1 victory for the MLS side, thanks to MVP and hometown hero, Galaxy striker Carlos Ruiz.

Raleigh, N.C. – Rick Santorum leads Mitt Romney by double digits in advance of the March 3rd Republican caucuses, a new poll from Public Policy Polling finds. Santorum leads Romney 38%-27%, with Ron Paul taking 15% and Newt Gingrich placing 4th with 12%. Santorum benefits from very high favorability numbers, with 69% of caucusgoers holding a favorable opinion of him and just 18% unfavorable. Mitt Romney also has a net positive favorability rating, but voters opinion of him is more lukewarm at 47% - 42%. Ron Paul (38/49) and Newt Gingrich (39/46) had net unfavorable opinion ratings.
Santorum would benefit greatly if Newt Gingrich were to leave the race. Without Gingrich in the field, Santorum's lead over Romney expands to 21 points, 49-28. Among current Gingrich supporters, Santorum is the second choice of 55% of them compared to just 16% who say they would go to Romney.
Santorum leads Romney among Evangelical Christians (50-18), Tea Party members (50-20), "somewhat conservative" voters (36-33), and "very conservative" voters (50-19). Romney leads Santorum among non-Evangelicals (36-26), non-Tea Party members (32-30), and voters who describe themselves as "moderate" (29-27.
All that being said, only 50% of voters say that they are strongly committed to their candidate, and 50% say they might end up supporting someone else. Among voters strongly committed to their candidate, Santorum leads Romney by just 8 points, 40-32. Among those who say their minds could change, Santorum's lead is larger at 43-28.
"Rick Santorum's the favorite in Washington for now," said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling. "But with half of voters open to changing their minds, Romney wins in Michigan and Arizona could swing the momentum back in his favor."
PPP will release numbers looking at the Governor's race, gay marriage, and marijuana legalization tomorrow.
PPP surveyed 400 likely Washington caucus voters between February 16th and 19th. The margin of error for the survey is +/-4.9%. This poll was not paid for or authorized by any campaign or political organization. PPP surveys are conducted through automated telephone interviews. PPP is a Democratic polling company, but polling expert Nate Silver of the New York Times found that its surveys in 2010 actually exhibited a slight bias toward Republican candidates.

How can you find jobs that match your criteria quickly and efficiently? Using keywords that match your skills and interests is the best way to narrow down job listings to find those that are a good fit for your background.

What is a Keyword?

A keyword, when used to job search, is a word or term that is relevant to the job you are searching for. When you search for a job by keyword, all the positions that contain the term you entered will be listed. Using keywords can help you narrow down a list of jobs, and search more effectively.

Most job sites allow job seekers to search for job listings by keyword and location, as well as by more advanced search options. For example, if you are searching for a marketing job, you can search use "marketing" as a keyword, then add your location and other search criteria.

Or, if you were searching for electrical engineer jobs you would use terms such as "electrical engineer" or "electrical engineering" plus your location and other search criteria like type of position or experience required.

What Keywords Should You Use in Your Job Search?

The answer to this question depends on your field and the type of job you want. Some of the categories of keywords you may want to use to narrow your search include:

 Field or industry: While it won't narrow the results too much, begin by putting in the field or industry you'd like to work in, such as "marketing" or "publishing" or "database engineering." Once you see the results, you can add more keywords to ensure more relevant results, and a slimmer list of jobs to wade through.

 Location: It's up to you how precise you'd like to be. You can put in a state, city, town, or even a zip code.

 Desired job title: You can try putting in your desired title (e.g., marketing coordinator) but keep in mind that not all companies use the same title. One company may call it the position "marketing coordinator," while another calls the exact same role "PR associate." So be cautious about using job titles as a search method, and widen your search parameters if you do not get a lot of results.

 Industry-specific skills, tools, and jargon: As well as searching by job titles, you can search by the functionality required by a job. For instance, you might search by a programming language.

 Company names: If you happen to have a dream company that you'd like to work for — or a giant multinational company that you know has a lot of job openings at any one time — you can search directly by the company name.

 Job type: Narrow down search results by putting in full time, part time, contract, etc.

With rumors swirling that hubby ASHTON KUTCHER cheated on her, DEMI MOORE's weight has plummeted!
The 5-foot-5 actress now weighs 99 pounds, sources say, while 15- years-younger Ashton has been accused of seducing a gorgeous young blonde at a California hotspot.
"Ashton was reportedly seen with a blonde named Sara Leal in San Diego," revealed an insider. "She ran into him at the Hard Rock and they hit it off!
"At first it was no big deal because women run up to Ashton all the time. But pals of Sara are saying their accidental meeting led to a night in Ashton's room. They're saying that they had a 'good' time and Sara's hoping to see Ashton on a regular basis."
The 33-year-old actor, who's replaced Charlie Sheen on the hit CBS sitcom "Two and a Half Men," was partying with a group of pals, including his "That '70s Show" co-star Danny Masterson, and actors Eric Balfour and Michael Pena, sources say.
Late on Sept. 25, the foursome hit Fluxx nightclub, where they downed vodka and tequila. A scruffy-looking Ashton, chain-smoking and wearing a floppy fedora, was overheard saying that none of the women there were "hot-tub worthy," a source said.
"If Demi had heard him say that, she would have hit him," said the source.
As for reports that he hooked up with Sara, Ashton "has pooh-poohed the whole thing," the source added. "He says they just hung out."
But it's not the first time Ashton has been accused of cheating on 48-year-old Demi since their 2005 marriage.
In September 2010, he allegedly cheated twice with 21-year-old Demi look-alike Brittney Jones, and sources close to the "Ghost" beauty say she's never recovered from the scandal.
"Demi has been on high alert since the Brittney cheating scandal," a source close to the actress told The ENQUIRER. "She was devastated by it."
Desperate to hang on to her man, "Demi started working out more and eating less," said the source.
"She thinks she looks good, but she doesn't. She's lost way too much weight."
The mother of three appeared shockingly thin in a form-fitting dress at a Hollywood event on Sept. 23, and a pair of black leather pants seemed to be falling off her tiny frame while she promoted her Lifetime movie "Five" in New York City on Sept. 26.
"This is yet another nightmare come true for Demi," said the source.
After the rumors broke, the couple were spotted entering the Kabbalah Centre in LA for the Jewish Holidays after both made some unorthodox Tweets for the tech-savvy duo.
"Ashton is ot saying much about the cheating rumors or Sara, but he did say he likes San Diego a lot and will spend more time there when he can, which has only helped confirm Demi's fears."

TAMPA — On Friday, as a state law that gets tough on pain clinics took effect, one of the bill's co-sponsors stood in front of a Tampa courthouse and said it's not enough.
Democratic state Sen. Dan Gelber announced a five-point plan to crack down on doctor-shopping and unscrupulous pain clinics, which he called "dispensaries of death."
"This is really the new drug war in this nation," said Gelber, the Democratic candidate for attorney general.
Gelber said he wants to encourage local moratoriums on new pain clinics, push forward a database that would make "doctor shopping" difficult, require pain clinics to be owned by physicians, strengthen prosecutors' tools and increase education.
From 2005 to 2009 in Florida, nearly 6,000 people died ingesting prescription drugs. In the Tampa Bay area, local authorities have raided pain clinics and made several arrests, but clinics are still seeing long lines of people — some who come from out of state because of the lax laws here, authorities say.
"We have become the Costco of prescription drugs," Gelber said of Florida.
Gelber said as attorney general he would make the fight against unnecessary prescribing of drugs a centerpiece of his tenure.
The new law prevents clinics from dispensing more than a three-day supply of drugs to anyone paying by cash or credit card. The clinics must also register with the state and open their doors to inspectors.
Already, the measure has faced opposition — most notably from the National Pain Institute, which sued last week to have it declared unconstitutional.
Gelber said he's afraid the bill will become mired in litigation.
"I understand that aspects of the bill may be burdening people, but we can't just regulate our way out of this problem," he said. "We're going to do it by some fairly draconian rules."
Court proceedings also have slowed the launch of a database that would track the prescriptions written and filled for addictive medications. The company that didn't get the state contract sued, which could delay use of the database for months, Gelber said.
A few hours after Gelber's announcement, the campaign of Republican attorney general nominee Pam Bondi released a statement about Bondi's plans to crack down on "pill mills."
"Prevention, intervention and rehabilitation must be the key components to any strategy our state develops for addressing this problem," Bondi's statement reads. "And I will commit to take a lead on this issue and shut down pill mills as attorney general."
A key part of her plan is for the state to rely on strong relationships with local law enforcement.
