FAQs on Coccydynia
Coccydynia is coccyx pain. This is also referred to as tailbone pain or coccygodynia. For many patients, coccydynia resolves with only supportive care, but for some, the symptoms persist long-term. Intractable coccydynia is not that common, but when it occurs, it can cause a serious decrease in quality of life.
What is the coccyx?
The coccyx is a small fused bone at the very bottom of the spinal column. This bone curves into the pelvis and bears weight when a person is sitting. Many patients report increased pain with leaning backwards. The coccyx is 3-5 vertebral segments that are fused. These small joints are supported by muscles and ligaments.
How common is coccydynia?
The prevalence of coccydynia is not exactly known. However, it occurs in adults and adolescents mostly, but school aged children can be affected. Coccydynia also occurs in women five times as often as it does in men. The majority of patients with coccydynia have a subluxated (hypermobile) coccyx. Many people report a history of trauma.
What symptoms are associated with coccydynia?
Tailbone pain occurs when pressure is applied to the coccyx. Many patients report pain relief with standing or walking. Other symptoms are:
- Pain with bowel movements
- Pain during sex
- Deep aching pain in the tailbone region
- Immediate or sever pain when moving from sitting to standing
What is the cause of coccydynia?
Coccydynia is caused by:
- Trauma from falling onto the buttocks
- A direct blow to the tailbone
- Childbirth
- Infection
- Pilonidal cysts
- Fracture
How is coccydynia diagnosed?
The doctor will first ask questions about your symptoms, take a medical history, and perform a physical examination. The diagnosis of coccydynia is made when serious causes of tailbone pain are ruled out. The doctor often uses diagnostic tests to assess the coccyx, such as x-rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
How is coccydynia treated?
Coccydynia is often difficult to treat. Options include:
- Support seating – A donut cushion is a seat pad with the center missing. Shaped like a donut, this device is used for prolonged sitting to relieve tailbone pressure and pain.
- Frequent breaks – The patient will need to avoid sitting for long amounts of time, and take frequent breaks from the workstation.
- Medications – These include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as naproxen, ibuprofen, and Clinoril.
- Local nerve blocks/ganglion impar block – Using fluoroscopic technology, the doctor can inject an anesthetic, steroid, and/or neurolytic agent onto the nerves that supply the coccyx. In clinical studies, ganglion impar blocks were found to be around 74-100% effective for coccyx pain.
- Physical therapy – Mobilizations are used to realign the coccyx position. The therapist may perform massage to alleviate pain. Other modalities include ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and heat therapy. In a recent study, researchers found that massage produced a 30% success rate, and stretching had a 32% success rate. Overall, 43% of patients had good results with physical therapy.
- Manipulation – The doctor can perform coccyx manipulation by inserting the index finger into the rectum. This is performed only for one minute.
- Surgery – When other measures fail, the doctor may perform a coccygectomy (removal of the tailbone).

BET Awards, Jay-Z Punks Kanye West in Taylor Swift Interruption Moment (VIDEO)
Kanye West had a taste of his own medicine at the 2012 Black Entertainment Television (BET) awards ceremony on Sunday night when his best friend Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter interrupted him during an acceptance speech.
West, who sat front row with girlfriend Kim Kardashian at the awards show, won the "video of the year" award along with Jay-Z for their hit song "Otis," beating Jay-Z's wife Beyonce, who had been nominated twice in the same category.
Jay-Z, 42, gave a brief acceptance speech before allowing West, 34, to also say a few words and as the "Mercy" rapper began to speak, Jay-Z interjected in a scene reminiscent to that of Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at a previous awards show.
"Excuse me Kanye, I'm gonna let you continue, but," Jay-Z said to a roaring applause before casually laughing off the incident.
A red-faced West also laughed off Jay-Z's playful interjection even saying "I'm trying to defend your girl!" before proceeding with his speech.
"Thank you, BET, for allowing us to push the envelope. The awards make sense sometimes if something is really, really good. We put in a lot of work, a lot of hours, a lot of sleepless nights," West told the audience.
"We don't take it lightly. It's like being a new artist every day. ... Everybody knows we put in so many hours to bring you the best product possible. We don't take for granted the opportunity that y'all have given to us," he went on.
The duo also took home the "Best Group" award, which was presented earlier in the evening.
Jay-Z's abrupt interjection was a playful dig at West, who famously interrupted Swift during her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMAs, where she was presented with the "Best Female Video."
"Taylor, I'm really happy for you. I'll let you finish, but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" West blurted after snatching the mic from the stunned singer's hands.
West eventually apologized to a devastated Swift after receiving widespread backlash from fans and critics over the ordeal.
Full List of winners:
Best Group — The Throne (Kanye West & Jay-Z); Best Actor — Kevin Hart; Best New Artist – Big Sean; Best Male R&B Artist — Chris Brown; Best Collaboration — Wale ft. Miguel; Best Gospel — Yolanda Adams; Best Female R&B Artist — Beyonce; Best Female Hip Hop Artist — Nicki Minaj; Lifetime Achievement Award — Maze featuring Frankie Beverly; Video Of The Year — "Otis" by Kanye West & Jay-Z; BET Humanitarian Award — Rev. Al Sharpton; Viewers' Choice Award –Mindless Behavior; Video Director Of The Year — Beyonce & Alan Ferguson; Fandemonium Award — Chris Brown

no bucket list...
I am not a bucket list person. There are a few things I would like to do but if I don't, I am ok with that. Ok, maybe not ok but, grown up about it.
I think being in the Moment is a better option. Always having this controlled list in your head doesn't give you much room for improve. On a whim, we headed to the drive -in movie last week. I don't think it was because summer is waning. It was just a chance to do something the kids had never done.
The truck was loaded up with chairs and blankets. Didn't know if we could bring food in (we could) so we bought popcorn there. Wanted to try the glazed popcorn but they could only pop one kind at a time and had to wait, which they estimated would be half way through the first show, before the glazed would be available. By then, we were busy swatting flies and wrapping the blankets a little tighter.
No bucket list for me...but if we ever got a shot at Disneyworld, I would be over the moon, good...

summer weary...
After a couple of months, especially this summer, the heat just takes it out of you. You have forgotten the snow, the boots, the ever present coat and can't imagine never experiencing them ever again. Tired of sweating, trying to take an evening walk and just plain ready, for a cool down.
Kids go back to school earlier and earlier. School should not start the same week as the State Fair in any state. They also should not expect to wear tank tops and shorts for the next 2 months. School starts after Labor Day, the following Monday to be exact. The crispness of fall is overwhelmingly, all around you. The first day of school outfit should not contain any kind of coat but a few weeks down the road, will require a jacket in the morning.
Part of the lushiness of fall, is being summer weary. We are so excited about the cool down, we don't even realize that in a few short weeks. when Halloween is here, we might be wearing a coat over our costumes. We humans are a fickle people, most of us must ease in, very few can stumble from one season to the next, as if it was one continuous life. We have to take it in pieces, it is too overwhelming to look at the Big Picture.
This guy didn't wake up the whole time my family and many others, walked around him. The talking of the crowd, he had obviously mastered, shutting it all out. He has learned after many years of working at the fair, you have to get it while you can. Great image to learn a good lesson.
The weather guy tells us, we are in for more of the same next week. More summer heat. Will try to keep my weariness down and try to soak it all up, while I can. Sounds like a good recipe for daily living. Tomorrow, here I come...

Wild week...
It has been one crazy, good week. Started with the state fair and Kutless concert on Monday, right into Gage's 11th birthday on Tuesday. Wednesday had a bit of a reprieve but Thursday and Friday are jamming as we spend time with Keaton while everybody else, went back to school. His turn is coming next week.
I love weeks like this. They remind you of how fast time is really going and it feels like you are making the most of every minute. The older I get, the less tolerant I am of wasting time. To me now, that looks like I am not appreciative of day ahead of me. I am not seeing the big picture and now, more than ever, I need to grab the Golden Ring everyday.
Today Pops, Keaton and I am headed downtown Boise. We will hit Whole Foods for lunch, hang out and see how the Trader Joe's construction is coming along. The day could not get better when you have a 14 year old along. He is our joy, our time together is precious.
A little R&R this weekend and one more day with the boy. Missing the other two but we will scoop them up soon and bring them with us.
Everyday is the time to say yes, go and do. Time for me to start. Happy Friday, go and do...
Posted by firstname.lastname@example.com at Friday, August 23, 2013
Sometimes, at the beginning of summer, your name got changed from Papa to Pops. At first, it took a while to catch on. It started with Keaton and then moved to Gage and Miss M. It wasn't just you but also the other Papa Steve. So both of you have been, officially renamed with little to no fanfare.
Not sure I have missed the name bullet. Grandma Sue and I may not be safe. safe but when Keaton answered the phone yesterday, my greeting was, Hey Girl! There was also a lot of Zalaine talk going on yesterday. It makes me laugh because for a long time, Zalaine was too hard for any of them to say.
Chance is inevitable and names are as fluid as anything else in our lives. The only time we have to use the name we have been given is in matters, legal. One could go most of the entire life known as Bubba and no one would question it. The first 20 years of my life, I was Nainie and to this day, if I hear it, I know within 10 people, who is calling me that.
Guess I better get use to Hey Girl, looks like it may be here for a while...
Happy Birthday Gage!
We hit week, running. With school starting on Thursday and one more birthday celebrations, we started with the Idaho Stat Fair on Monday and Tuesday, to celebrate one of my most favorite people. We wills tart early and stay late, much to do and with a kid like this, he just makes our day.
Gage, Pops and I could not be more proud of you. Your sense of humor, your wit, your sarcasm... reminds us of well, us. You are such a wonderful kid, full of all those things they always told us boys were made for and then some. When I pray for you, I always smile. God has made you into this delightful creature that we can all enjoy. I pray for your grandkids and the kind of man you will be to lead them. They are a lucky bunch, although your wife may have her hands full with you, she will be a keeper.
So, go have fun today. Will walk through the day with you and savor each moment. Pops and I love you to infinity and beyond, always have, always will. XO...
Sweet Child of Mine...
We would like God's ways to be like our ways, his judgments to be like our judgments. It is hard for us to understand that he lavishly gives enormous talents to people we would consider unworthy, that he chooses his artists with as calm a disregard of surface moral qualifications as he chooses his saintsMadeleine L Engle.
This one line changed my life. My God got bigger, my faith got stronger and my world changed and the skies opened up.
Bridge Over Troubled Water/, became a battle cry not a suicide mission. At a particularly bad season of life, (the essence of) Love Shack bought me back to corporate worship. Hard to believe.

And a favorite of mine. It is my girl's ringtone. I always know it is her, and always brings a smile. Guns and Roses, Sweet Child of MIne
She's got a smile that it seems to me
Reminds me of childhood memories
Where everything
Was as fresh as the bright blue sky
Now and then when I see her face
She takes me away to that
special place
And if I stared too long
I'd probably break down and cry
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
She's got eyes of the bluest skies
As if they thought of rain
I hate to look into those eyes
And see an ounce of pain
Her hair reminds me
of a warm safe place
Where as a child I'd hide
And pray for the thunder
And the rain
To quietly pass me by
Sweet child o' mine
Sweet love of mine
Better words for the Love of God? I think not....

Collage is not a word I would have applied to living life but I think I need to rethink it. Our lives are many, many different pieces that come and go, all fitting together in so kind of mish mash that forms, who we are. None of our pieces do we share with each other, even if there are similarities. Each experience is a brand of sorts on our person and all those experiences, define where we are going. Not who we are but our reaction to said experience. Wouldn't it be something if we look at them like we do a photo poster. 60 experiences that have crossed our path, that have made the mark and the poster because they left that mark, on our minds.
I knew when I did this print that one photo would be in color. The placement would be in the same general area but the day I submitted this to Persnickety Prints, it was the orange pumpkin in that position. The day I got the poster, I decided I would have moved it over one, to the left. That was a different day, a different mindset. Tried other colored photos, a flag, a fire truck, a tree but the pumpkin was the choice and still is.
I know the color represents Something, deep down but I don't know what or why. Whether it is a creative or a lesson placement. My favorite number is 3. It never occurred to me to have 3 photos of color, just one. Always, just one.
We look at our lives in segments, seasons but the reality is as far back as we can remember, the photos were taken. Whether we remember them or not. They are embedded, as most all music in jr high is. We couldn't erase it if we wanted to but Sometimes, we are able to forget. Not music but certainly memories.
I might do this 60 photo collage of my internal thoughts as an exercise, to understand myself better. I don't think there ever is a Time Up on learning. I want be a better wife, mother, nana and friend. I want to Love that God Loves me more than I could ever ask or imagine and remember to live like I believe it. So much to learn, time to get cracking...

Watching Eleanor Longden's, Ted piece on the voices in our heads, stirred up some feelings of pieces to the Me puzzle. While I have never heard audible voices, the sound of addiction is very similar. Anyone who has addiction issues can relate and, I am not talking about the perceived bad ones, but the ones that universally, rule our lives. I never thought about using the thoughts that say, Grab those cookies and keep eating. I never thought that voices could use their powers for good and were here to help, not hinder. She talks about really listening to what one is being told and see a deeper meaning. To think of the voices as warning or teaching, they have always been a negative to me. Not any more, I am going to start treating them with a bit of respect, and working toward what we all want, a healthy person who will continue to be human but can change and grow and heal. Wow.
Her Ted talk is well worth your time and might change your life, I feel it coming my way, can't wait to see what happens next...

you, me and them...
The family.
We were a strange little band of characters,
trudging through life sharing disease,
and toothpaste,
coveting one another's desserts,
hiding shampoo,
borrowing money,
locking each other out of our rooms,
inflicting pain and kissing it,
to heal it in the same instant,
and trying to figure out the common thread,
that bound us all together. Erma Bombeck

sharing the Love...
Ok, it doesn't always look like this but their love of music certainly bridges the elongated gap. There is nothing quite like sharing a pair of earphones. Do you get the whole musical effect? No. Do you feel that rich, sound and deep bass? No. Are a set of headphones better than a single earpiece? of course, if the music is your goal and Sometimes, it is.
Sometimes, it isn't. I have shared many a earpiece at a basketball or soccer game. There is conversation going on while the music plays on. In one ear, you hear the new and the familiar. In the other, you share in the common experience. There is much to be said about the common experience. I could write a book about it, a big book.
What you give up, you get back ten-fold. You will have time later to pump up the volume but for this little piece of time, enjoy the sharing. Enjoy the Love...

We all believe in Something. You many or may not, call it God but make no mistake, you have a belief even if it is to not believe.
Saw 2 documentaries last night and they couldn't have appeared to be more different. Johnny Carson and Steve Jobs. Yet, their Stories are very similar. They both had ferocious tempers. When Joan Rivers made the choice to not tell Johnny Carson about her TV deal with Fox, he never spoke to her again. She tried to apologize by phone but he hung up on her. He had made her a permanent guest host and she very well might have gone on to host the Tonight Show but their entire relationship was over in a second.
The same Stories are told of Steve Jobs and his less than stellar ideas on how to treat people. It was said that Carl Sagan was a very good friend of Johnny. It would lead one to believe that you could imagine with a bit of accuracy where his belief system was. Steve Jobs was so sure that he could cure his pancreatic cancer with diet that it would be too late to get help when he decided that he could not.
Everybody believes in Something.
And you might as well be all in. Go big or go home. Give it everything you have got. After all, you believe it, right.
Doesn't matter what the circumstances are. Circumstances are fluid, they are always changing. Your belief doesn't change, it is your reaction to it that is the key to where your affections lie. Choose wisely, make sure that is your final answer and then, go. Go and see if what you have invested everything for, holds up. If it does not, keep looking, keep asking. Don't give up. Ever...

I know the word "connection" isn't really appropriate when talking about UDP, but...
How does a server (the one with the known IP) get its UDP packets through the Internet to a client that is behind NAT?
For example: say a client connects and authenticates to the server using some messaging over TCP. At this point the server is ready to start streaming data to the client over UDP, but how does the server know where to address the UDP packets so that they would find their way through any NAT routers to the client?
If the client fist sends an "I'm ready for the streaming please" message over UDP, would the NAT routers keep the port open so that the server can respond with its stream of UDP data?
Or am I waay off track here?

text: Hans Knot passed on this link showing the relaunch of Radio Decibel in Amsterdam earlier this year. It's in Dutch, but its quite obvious this is a group of very passionate people who believe there's a need for music radio with personality. Many of the original founders of the pirate Radio Decibel are involved in this legal venture. I'm glad they captured the moment on video. So much of radio is being lost by poor record keeping.

A SHARP debut from Angela Winbush!
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Angela Winbush's solo debut SHARP, is indeed a sharp piece of work. One half of the Rene & Angela duo, Ms. Winbush is an accomplished writer, producer, arranger, and an excellent vocalist. Her writing is R&B at it's best. Her later work with The Isley Brothers will prove that. On this excellent debut, the stand outs are the masterful ballads. On first listen, you'll be transfixed with the gut-wrenching ballads on the "Quiet Storm Side." You Had A Good Girl, No One Has Cared (Like You), Hello Beloved, and the hit, Angel, provide the steam needed for any romantic evening. Though the funky cuts on the "Slammin' Side" sound dated, Sensual Lover still holds up as a smooth R&B jewel. The other cuts were very good indeed for their time. This is a worthy debut from a lady as talented as they come. She's proven this on her two susequent releases as well."
One of the most underrated artists of our time..

"As a previous reviewer stated, Ms. Winbush is way beyond just being a singer. She can produce, write arrange and sing! She is the total package. Although I didn't really care for the dated sound of the fast songs as much, the slow songs more than made up for them. Classics like Angel and Hello are worth the price of the CD alone! I have all of her CDs. Her writing and music seemed to get better with each album. I wish she would produce some more music. Her voice is truly missed in what the music industry is passing off as R&B these days."
Wonderful...to say the least!

(4 out of 5 stars)
"No one has a grasp on contemporary adult R&B like Angela Winbush. On her fist solo album she creates an ambiance of self-assuredness, devotion, and warmth, which is quite a feat with the relatively cold, synth-heavy production that covers the album. The Isley Brothers-type steamy "quiet storm" ballads are the least dated tracks, although the faster songs on the first half of the album have a funky edge. If you want quality pre-New Jack Swing R&B from on of the '80s (and'90s) greats, buy this album"

So I have a new man in my life .. and I am in love … Puppy love after all is endless love.
Our wee Pugalier pup arrived all the way from his NSW breeders on the 8th August and our lives changed ! From the moment he looked at me calmly from his flight carry case ( Jet-setter already) and came straight for cuddles, my heart skipped a beat. Yup .. I doubt I will ever again sleep past 6am, have good woolen jumpers, or a lounge room scented with anything other that puppy 'fluffs' – yet I've never been happier. Sam friggin adores him and in my book no amount of puppy poo under the clothes airier, can stop me from thinking he is the perfect pup.
Biggest challenge ? Our newest family member is a massive meat lover and so suddenly chicken necks, duck jerky and liver treats are a part of my plant based loving life. Doesn't bother me one bit ?! Sure I've sneaked in a bit of veg and I am not sad he gobbles up sardines like they are a gourmet meal, but seriously I love just feeding my man what makes him feel good. Too his delight I roasted him chicken and sweet potato in coconut oil last week ( to compliment his vet approved diet ) .. poor Sam just shook his head. I've never seen him so excited. There is something amazing about nourishing those you love and your pup should be no different !
Of course I knew I'd love him, but I've been entirely surprised by the whole experience. He is after all my first puppy experience ! All the things I dreaded (poo, pee, chewing .. bath time ) .. I love .. cause this guy is just adorable. At puppy school he is the smallest and the loudest in the class. Through a tunnel ? No probs .. Walk on my lead ? .. Sure ! First day at the beach ? I can do that ! Again and again he has surprised us with his boisterous, outgoing attitude. He loves cuddles too and of course we aren't sad about that.
Warning adorable photos to follow …
S0 what would I recommend in my 2.5 weeks experience … ? ha ha – you learn a lot fast !
Get the best dog bed you can afford,team it with a heatbag and you've got a pup that sleeps the night through. We love fuzzyard for doggy stuff full stop – style,quality and an Aussie company !
Enrol in puppy school – its been sooo helpful for us; even if Oscar just goes for the food and socialising. No seriously .. he ran to school yesterday .. the whole way. I swear he could smell the roast chicken awaiting him.
Work out what makes your puppy tick ( Oscar is all about roast chicken, sunshine and cubby holes ) and use it to your advantage.
Get a Puppy Kong ( without it I don't think I could leave for work ! ).
Bath, massage and groom from day one. Oscar loves his 'spa' moments. Second bath yesterday was fun for all ( despite Mummies' bad neck ! ) .. though ear cleaning may take a little longer.
Last, but not least, expose your pup to your lifestyle from day one ! Oscar loves walks, outdoor cafes, the beach and our local national park already .. which means we can take him along with us when doing all our fav things. He loves Sam's parents and their two pups as we introduced them early in … he is just one loving and adaptable pup ! can you tell we are proud ?!
A last note and thank you to the Pretty Fluffy blog too .. seriously good info on loving your pup !
So life is changing .. and I am loving every moment. Now to wake my wee man up and enjoy some of that late afternoon sunshine ! Peace, love and dogs .. that is all anyone needs really ! x

James Fallows at The Atlantic is a big fan of anonymous quotes in hisblog posts. Just last month I noted that he was using an anonymous (andfalse, it turned out) quote to accuse Mitt Romney of being a "liar." Shortly after my post rebutting the anonymous accuser went up, Fallows backed away from it.
But here we are a month later and Fallows is at it again. In this post published Monday morning, Fallows is pushing the attack on Mitt Romney's time at Bain Capital using two anonymous quotes. The first one is from "a corporate veteran."Now, any corporate veteran writing to James Fallows in order to suggesta new line of attack on Mitt Romney probably has a partisan agenda.But, putting that aside, here is the line of attack this anonymousbusiness savant believes will spell the end for the Romney campaign:
If you weren't in charge at Bain in 1999-2001, who was? If Mitt Romneyhad 'retroactively' retired — who was 'proactively' managing BainCapital? Just a simple name — or a committee would do…Answering this simple question would clarify matters greatly.
As he did last month, Fallows airs the anonymous accusation (onceagain insinuating Romney is a liar) and then tacitly agrees that it isserious before moving on. He makes no effort, not even one sentence, toactually address the question being raised. Apparently, Fallows sees hisjob as trial-ballooning new attacks, not offering relevant facts.
There is a pretty good answer to the questions posed by Fallows'anonymous accuser, one that Fallows ought to be aware of if he'sfollowing this story. As the NY Times reported last Thursday,a spokesperson for Bain said "due to the sudden nature of Mr. Romney'sdeparture, he remained the sole stockholder for a time while formalownership was being documented and transferred to the group of partners who took over management of the firm in 1999."
Is there anything in the public record to back up this claim? Yes there is. Over the weekend, Andrew Kaczynski at Buzzfeed linked to a December 2000 capture of the Bain Capital website. The site lists a 37-member "management team." Notably absent from the list is Mitt Romney's name.
So it seems a reasonable answer to the accusatory questions Fallow'sknow or care. He just moves on to the next anonymous attack.


text: Crystal Anderson Report post Posted November 16, 2014 My late grandfather, Ted Pecina, owned Pecina Saddlery in Emory, TX for many years around the 70's. He never made a huge name for himself but I've been told he trained a few that did get big. Supposedly Billy Cook and relations, the Vegas. I am trying to find if there are any left out there and am lost as to where to really look. I've been all over the net so I thought maybe I could post on a few sites like this one and see if any of y'all have ever seen one. I believe it was Pecina or something similar stamoed under the horn. Thanks for any advice or information you can give me! My mother wants to find one left, even if just for pictures, and I'd like to surprise her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vanilla Chiffon Jam Roll
This week's Tuesday's with Dorie recipe kind of snuck up on me. After those giant loaves of bread from last time, I think I thought I was done baking for the month! I have to admit to sort of dreading this recipe. For some reason, I have never been able to master chiffon cakes. They seem so promising and then turn out to be not as good as expected. Well, this recipe was no different.
The sponge came together really easily.
Even folding the egg whites into the batter went well.
Then, it looked wonderfully fluffy when it came out of the oven after 18 minutes.
However, once it cooled, all that lovely fluffiness just disappeared. Poof! Gone!
Sigh. I had never really intended to make the filling recipe as it has too much cream in it for me to eat. Only half of us in this house really eat whipped cream, so I decided to go the super easy route and make it a jam roll.
Strawberry rhubarb jam gave us a little bit of spring in our dessert.
In the end, I was disappointed. The cake was nice and moist with lots of vanilla flavor, but I can't help but think that it was supposed to be different. Plus, I really think that I am just not a big fan of chiffon cakes. They taste strange to me. I like angel food, genoise, and butter cakes, but have yet to meet a chiffon cake that I like. It's a bit odd since I generally love cake, but oh well. I am glad that I did not go through the extra trouble of making the chocolate walnut mousse, though maybe that would have been so yummy that it would have made up for the disappointment in the cake. I will probably never know.

What a bummer to be disappointed with the final result after spending all that time on it. I'll bet the strawberry rhubarb jam was delicious though! It's your homemade jam, right?
(Your sour cherry preserves that were in the jam cookies from the holidays were a-maz-ing!)
Yeah, I was also not impressed by the cake part. However the mousse really was divine. It made the desert, for me!
I recently made a chiffon cake (once vanilla and a couple weeks later chocolate)– I was looking for an easily adaptable dairy-free one. I followed a King Arthur recipe using coconut oil and coconut milk. The instructions said to let the cake cool upside down in the pan.
Mine didn't lose any height. However, both times I made them a few days ahead, gave the layers a simple syrup basting and stuck them in the freezer. My husband, who has more distinguished tastebuds was unimpressed. I think the cake tasted best the day it was baked, which he didn't try.
So….I don't know if that confirms "not worth trying again" or not!
Good idea to fill it with jam. Too bad it wasn't a winner for you. I liked it a lot though I've never made chiffon cake before, so I didn't have anything to gauge it with.
I think the jam roll idea sounds way better than chocolate mousse.

first D3 run
shot my first wedding with my D3 last weekend. the results are pretty amazing! it's an odd feeling shooting with a full-frame camera again. things look… well.. right. i know people are going to yap at me about DX vs FX, but really full-frame images just look proper. the DOF is what it's suppose to look like at the actual focal length. until now i've been shooting DX or 6×7. yeah, a bit of an extreme. anyways, the images look great. it's nice to shoot a camera that is sharp right off the sensor (the D200 is soft soft soft). and colors seems to be a bit better. all that really means is that there is less post! WOO HOO!!!!
tash is a friend of mine, and i have to admit that she and her man sean had the most beautiful wedding party ever! The OC here we come!!! she also kept posing for me all day too! so much fun!

Local board to mull Metro heart proposal next week
Metro Health Hospital is prepared to push its request for new programs in heart surgery and cardiac catheterization as far as necessary to seek certificate of need approval, its consulting lawyer said last week.
"We would begin the certificate of need process with the understanding that we would be committed to seeing it through to the end," said Brett H. Henderson, of Lansing law and government relations firm Kelley Cawthorne. "That's simply the CON process.
"In this instance, we began the process of compiling a highly detailed application that we intended to advocate for within the CON process. But if that doesn't yield the success the clients want, then we have to be committed to the next step."
Metro Health is seeking permission from MDCH to perform cardiac surgeries and non-emergency catheterization at its Wyoming location. Currently, Metro Health is allowed to do only emergency catheterization. Spectrum Health is the only hospital in Kent County authorized to perform the full range of cardiac procedures.
An Alliance for Health public hearing last week featured verbal jabs between Henderson and Dr. John Byrnes, senior vice president of quality at Spectrum Health, which is fighting Metro Health's proposal. Grand Rapids' third hospital, Saint Mary's Health Care, and its parent company, Trinity Health, support Metro's bid.
Next week, the Alliance for Health's Evaluation Board will examine Metro Health's application and make a recommendation to MDCH staff in Lansing.
Henderson said he intends to comply with Alliance for Health President Lody Zwarensteyn's request for a legal opinion about the method Metro Health employed in its application to count potential surgical cases.
Based on commitments from other hospitals, the Michigan Inpatient Data Base and the formula in CON standards, Metro Health counted a potential for 126.57 surgical cases. State standards require 300 cases within three years of establishing a program.
By adding commitments from physicians to divert their heart patients to Metro Health, the hospital's application boosts its estimate of open heart procedures by 389.99 to 507.56.
While CON standards don't require that open heart surgery applications take into account physician referrals, it's not prohibited, either, Henderson contended, and physician referrals are used for other CON-covered services.
CON standards also require that a facility offering therapeutic cardiac catheterization have an open heart surgery program in case of complications.
In written comments, Henderson noted that the 12-county health service area has one open heart surgical program per 700,000 residents, compared to a statewide ratio of one program per 290,000.
In addition to Spectrum, Mercy Health Partners, another Trinity Health hospital, also provides open heart surgery in the health service area. Together, the two perform 1,250 procedures annually. Spectrum performs more than 900 heart surgeries annually, making it the busiest program in the state.
Spectrum Health argues that by taking away part of its volume, a program at Metro Health would depress quality measures in both locations.
Metro Health would consult with the University of Michigan, St. Joseph Mercy Health System in Ann Arbor and Borgess Medical Center in Kalamazoo in setting up the program, according to its application.
"Our response to whether or not there is quality in this application is quite simply whether or not you believe that those partners, all three of them in some combination, would help Metro and Saint Mary's to build a quality program. We're obviously confident of that," Henderson said.
In his written comments, Byrnes pointed out that Michigan already has 33 open heart surgery programs, and 18 of them do not meet the CON standard of 300 cases per year. The number of surgeries has declined statewide by 14 percent since 2005, he said.
"More open heart programs are not needed anywhere in Michigan," Byrnes stated.
Lyda Phillips, a HealthLeaders-InterStudy Michigan market analyst, said that cardiac services make money for hospitals.
"They're very lucrative," she said. "One of the things that makes providers like cardiology is that it is more predictable revenue, for the most part."
Metro Health's application indicated that it anticipates margins from the proposed programs would average between about $1,900 and $2,900 per case.
However, heart doctors across the country have been seeking hospital employment because of big Medicare reimbursement cuts that went into effect this year, according to Cardiology Business magazine.
The Alliance for Health Evaluation Board is scheduled to meet at 9 a.m. Oct. 21 at Grand Valley Health Plan, 829 Forest Hill Ave. SE.
After the board's recommendation, the application moves to CON staff at the MDCH. The proposed decision then is accepted or rejected by the MDCH director. Applicants may appeal a decision and go through a hearing with an administrative law judge. After a final decision from the Michigan Department of Community Health director, the appeals process moves into Circuit Court, according to Larry Horvath, manager of the CON section.

You need not wait for the size-decreased photo to load to click to the full size.
These uploaded files represent my definitive decipherment of the megaliths, stones and gigantic dolmen at the site of Weris I in Belgium, near Durbuy and Barvaux, which as a megalithic site marks Virgo in the Neolithic survey of the Germanic regions of Europe - a site which has been dated to ca. 3000 BC by mainstream astronomers, a date which I can confirm, since the East side of the Dolmen shows the Vernal Equinox to run along the right edge of Orion.
As you can see from the photos - which include the decipherments - the Dolmen Capstone itself represents Virgo, but all of the megaliths of the Dolmen have holes for certain stars and carved
figures on them also for constellations, covering the entire heavens.
The prominent megaliths to the N and NW represent Boötes and the North Ecliptic Pole, the latter megalith of which is broken, probably intentionally by later peoples.
The megaliths to the S and SE - currently flat on the ground - represent the stars from the Pleiades and Taurus to Andromeda - including, including Cepheus, Lacerta, Cassiopeia, Perseus, Aries, and Triangulum.

Skip to comments.Unarmed teen fatally shot by police in East Pittsburgh was Woodland Hills student
Posted on 06/20/2018 3:08:38 PM PDT by RS_Rider
Police shot and killed an unarmed teen who ran away from a traffic stop Tuesday night in East Pittsburgh, authorities said.
Authorities identified the dead teen as 17-year-old Antwon Rose, a Woodland Hills High School student who district officials said was one English class shy of graduating. He had been riding in a car linked to a non-fatal shooting 13 minutes earlier on North Braddock's Kirkpatrick Avenue, according to Allegheny County police.
A 22-year-old man wounded in the North Braddock shooting was treated and released from a hospital.
The deadly shooting in East Pittsburgh happened at 8:40 after borough police pulled over a car near Grandview Avenue and Howard Street about 1½ miles from the scene of the North Braddock shooting. Officials said the car matched the description of one involved in the earlier shooting and appeared to have gunfire damage to its back window.
As an officer arrested the 20-year-old driver, two people ran from the car, police said. The officer opened fire, hitting Rose.
Rose was taken to UPMC McKeesport, where he was pronounced dead at 9:19 p.m., officials said.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
If he was unarmed and running away it's going to be really hard for the police to trot out their usual tales of "I was in fear for my life" or "He lunged at me".
Not saying the dead teen didn't ask for it, just saying that the police might not be able to cover up some cop just shooting the kid in the back because the cop was too tired, impatient, or out of shape to chase him.
Man, if you're in a car that is involved in a shooting, you've got to expect maximum touchiness from the responding police.
Or, doesn't the fact that the initial shooting was non-fatal make the police response oppressive?
Hmmm. And what happened between these two actions? Is there something being omitted, perhaps? Such as the unarmed teen rushing at the cop?
Just one English class away from graduating. Obviously a prime candidate for college recruitment.
Sounds like Ant lost.
The fleeing felon rule.
This one didn't have any arms either.
Not how I remember seeing him.
"Unarmed" is established after the fact, not before or during the chase. What the Cops knew was that he was evading arrest in connection with a known shooting.
There is a tendency for police to shoot someone because they run away from a car stop or another police involved situation.
Yep. They protest the crap out of the cops but they say jack diddly squat about gang violence as if drive bys are a right. I grew up in New York city and got caught in the middle of a drive by in the 1990s on 115th street and Broadway, I was walking downtown and the guys they were aiming for were ahead of me and just *snap* just like that pop pop pop pop I didnt even know what hell was going on at first and saw cement chip off a building next to me and zip I must have ran 6 blocks without stopping. But that could have killed me, innocent people get killed all the time in drive bys and the left says NOTHING, NADA, about it!! Even when kids get killed as if its a right to shoot people. You cant own guns, but hey, playing gangsta is perfectly OK
Have you noticed that the Tribune Review has completely jumped the shark and went full libtard? It started about the same time that they dropped the print edition and went all digital. The Trib used to be the Conservative newspaper in S.W. Pa. It doesn't seem to be any longer.
" Unarmed is established after the fact, not before or during the chase. What the Cops knew was that he was evading arrest in connection with a known shooting."
Local radio news reporting that 2 guns were found in the car.
When the thugs escalate the game, police need to respond.
Braddock is a $#*+hole burb of the burgh where the Trump hating mayor is now running for Lt. Governor so he can help Gov. Wolf bring the $#*+hole atmosphere in his city to the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The good mayor has just lost 148 lbs, I think he wants to be less of a target, given the neighborhood.
" Unarmed is established after the fact, not before or during the chase. What the Cops knew was that he was evading arrest in connection with a known shooting.
Local radio news reporting that 2 guns were found in the car.
When the thugs escalate the game, police need to respond."
Yep. In before the cop haters. Law enforcement 1, street killer 0.
They don't need to. Fleeing the scene after shots were fired from that car, wounding a person? [While perhaps only confirmed after the fact, the guns in the car show that it was the right car.] That's a solid case of a fleeing felon who can reasonably be presumed to pose a risk to others.
Tennessee v. Garner, 471 U.S. 1.
A police officer may not seize an unarmed, nondangerous suspect by shooting him dead...however...Where the officer has probable cause to believe that the suspect poses a threat of serious physical harm, either to the officer or to others, it is not constitutionally unreasonable to prevent escape by using deadly force.

When Peter Thiel compared Political Correctness and the Catholic Church in 1517, he revealed how truly corrupt Political Correctness really is.
I had the pleasure last night of attending an event at which Peter Thiel was the main speaker. Before he started speaking I knew that he was one of PayPal's founders and one of Facebook's earliest investors, that he openly supported Trump's candidacy, and that he destroyed Gawker for outing him.
After Thiel's speech, I knew a bit more: He's a committed conservative-libertarian, he's a lawyer, he's extraordinarily well-read, and he's a truly creative, highly intelligent thinker. Also, there's no obvious artifice about him. He may be a billionaire, but he doesn't view his membership in that club as proof of his brilliance. Instead, he's an iconoclast who thinks deeply about things and, through his conclusions, proves his brilliance.
Thiel began his talk* by examining whether our society's technology is flat-lining. He challenges the conventional wisdom is that we're still in an upward technological trend, but that the low-hanging fruit is gone, and the geniuses have dried up. He feels the opposite is true: We're stagnating now, there's a great deal more fruit than just the low-hanging variety, and there is untapped genius out there.
The big question, of course, is why there is untapped genius? The most obvious answer is funding. In the computer world, where innovation is still happening, guys (mostly guys) can do what's been done since the 1970s: Come up with a great idea at their home computer and, through hard work, intelligence, and luck, leverage that idea into something people need or want, and that then makes its inventors very, very rich.
However, there's trouble brewing in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) world. Contrary to popular wisdom, which is that all STEM college majors will result in better paying jobs than any liberal arts major could, the only two STEM majors with a serious job market are Computer Science and Petrochemical Engineering. In everything else, a large pool of people is competing for the same money.
More than that, those handing out the money want to invest in sure things. That means the only projects getting financed are the safe ones, the ones that don't challenge the status quo, and that don't come out with some major, counter-intuitive thinking that could change an existing paradigm.
The problem for science types is that, in the 21st century, while one can still come up with computer technology on the cheap, it's impossible to do so in the sciences. While early scientists once needed a microscope, a Bunsen burner, a few Petri dishes, and a note pad, today's scientists rely upon equipment costing hundreds of thousands of dollars. They can function only with corporate, academic, or government funding. This turns every lab into a fiefdom, in which a large number of people are competing for a finite slice of research dollars and fame.
Which gets us to political correctness. Thiel sees political correctness as something akin to this famous video moment, with the blooming flowers emanating from a man's head standing in for American energy and innovation, and the foot being political correctness: [Read more…]

Late last year a young woman that I mentor in Freetown reached out to me on Whatsapp to ask whether I could assist her with going to a clinic. She said that she had developed an itch down there and there was some odor as well. She had been nursing this condition for months without improvement, she eventually turned to me in frustration.
What struck me about her situation is that she lives at home with her mother and yet she did not feel comfortable to discuss her condition with mom. Why? Because mom has never created an environment where she felt she could talk about her reproductive health, her 25 year old daughter, in college was afraid to talk to her about a serious health situation.
She explained her symptoms to me over Whatsapp, and I reached out to a nurse on Facebook who is based in the UK. Together we were able to find a suitable facility for her to go to where she wouldn't be judged by the health care providers and given "the look". You know, "the so you're doing that thing" look of shame.
I reached out to my best friend with the permission of my mentee and asked if she could accompany this young woman to the clinic. They were able to go together and she got the treatment and she has since healed. After the incident I counseled her on the need for protection, telling her she should feel free to express her sexuality but that she should protect her health.
I am sharing this story today because I believe that there is a serious void in the provision of reproductive health education and services for teens and young women. We continue to spend resources to fight maternal mortality but we neglect the provision of reproductive health education. In Sierra Leone adolescent moms account for 30 precent of all maternal deaths but it doesn't have to be this way. If girls and teens are educated early on about their reproductive health they grow up to become young women and adults who can make informed decisions with regards to sex, birth, and motherhood.
Back in 2011 I went up to the University of Sierra Leone for a TV Show to understand what students there knew about sex and contraceptives. The responses to the Vox Pops told me that students didn't know very much at all. There wasn't even a location on campus where students could get free condoms, or let alone a clinic. I was astounded to hear a college student tell me that her form of contraception was to simply stand up after sex and "everything would come out".
It has been 6 years and hardly much has changed where access to reproductive health education is concerned. Young women in Sierra Leone like my mentee for the most part only have each other to turn to for advice. When I asked her why she didn't use protection she said she was only sexually active with one person, and that they had only done it a couple of times. That she is safe because she is sticking to one partner is mild compared to the other misgivings that's out there. A young woman I interviewed on contraceptive use on the beach in Freetown once told me that she heard that if you use a condom it could get stuck in your belly. With these kinds of beliefs, it is no surprise that when Ebola hit it affected girls in a significant way. When you have to turn away 5000 girls from school because they are pregnant then you know you have a serious issue.
Parents please talk to your daughters, and by talk I don't mean scare them with threats of how ashamed you would feel should they get pregnant. I mean really talk to them, encourage them to be open so that your daughters will reach out to you over a stranger. School administrators need to go back to the Ministry of Education and petition that Family Life Education, the Old School Sec Ed is revamped and modernized and brought to the classroom. Lastly as a community when we have done everything possible to educate our young people, we still need to de stigmatize pregnancy and not force girls to hideaway in shame.
What I do know for sure is your teen or young adult has an unplanned pregnancy 8 out of 10 it is because some one didn't do their job as a parent. If you counsel your daughter well you're reducing her chances of contracting an STD, reducing her chances of being lured into a transactional relationship where she will be coerced into sex, and reducing her chances of an unplanned pregnancy.
As we round off this women's month make this an opportunity to start a conversation about sex and reproductive health, let your daughters be girls and not mothers. Talk to them about sex.

Judd Apatow will guest edit Vanity Fair's first ever comedy issue
In the ever-increasing trend of mainstream entertainment and arts magazines publishing an annual "comedy issue," heavyweight Vanity Fair has entered the mix, enlisting Judd Apatow to guest edit their offering, which will hit New York City and Los Angeles on Dec. 5 and the rest of the country on Dec. 12.
"Judd Apatow has revolutionized filmed comedy by creating scripts and cultivating a stable of actors in much the manner that Preston Sturges and Woody Allen have done in the past," Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter says. "I'm thrilled that he will be bringing his singular comic sensibility and players to our pages." The issue will contain more than 20 pages of comedy content, including a series of photos by celebrated entertainment photographer Mark Seliger.
Vanity Fair joins the likes of Spin (Patton Oswalt guest edited for them), Rolling Stone (Aziz Ansari graced the cover in 2011), GQ (remember a nearly naked Mila Kunis on the cover last year?), Blackbook (cover subject last year was Anna Faris), Entertainment Weekly and Under the Radar who have already entered the world of comedy issues.
"I proposed the idea of editing a comedy issue," says Apatow, who's next flick This is 40 starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann hits theaters Dec. 21. "I didn't think Graydon would say yes, and then I didn't think it would be that much work. And then I found out I don't get paid. I'm a gigantic fan of Vanity Fair and having the opportunity to collaborate on an issue that focuses on comedy has been fantastic."
I have all the faith in the world that Apatow will make the comedy world proud.

Film Descriptions:
In 2010, severe rain induced by climate change devastated a remote area of Ladakh. A few years later, Stanzin Dorjai, a local filmmaker, returns to the affected areas to interview people and to talk about how global warming has changed their lives. Confronted with the incomprehension of a people who have always lived in harmony with their natural surroundings, this film shares with their worries and concerns. And it speaks to us about the spiritual relationship that has always bound them to nature.
Director: Stanzin Dorjai Gya, Christiane Mordelet
Award: Special Jury Mention - Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival 2014
The Shepherdess of the Glaciers
On a rock-strewn mountain, in Ladakh, lives shepherdess Tsering with her flock of 250 sheep and pashmina goats. We follow Tsering's solitary movements over a year, from her home village to the high plateaus where she acts as midwife to her goats, warms batteries on a cooking pot and occasionally sings to herself and the surrounding landscape. Her only access to events in the outside world is via a small transistor radio and she faces the troubling presence of wolves and a snow leopard daily. Having turned 40, Tsering now finds the pastoral life physically challenging, while climate change is endangering her livestock. Packed with stunning images of the Gya-Miru Valley, The Shepherdess of the Glaciers reveals the ancestral wisdom of those Ladakhi shepherds whose environment and livelihoods are under severe threat.

Hi Jolene
You already received a number of replies why there are issues with using a general formula as above. IF a table is commonly accessed via a FTS AND, IF sufficient deletes without subsequent re-inserts (permanent table shrinkage, ouch, it's a male thing ;) or IF you've set a shocking PCTUSED which prevents inserts reclaiming deleted space, or IF you've set a shocking PCTFREE with no subsequent row size increase (etc) AND FTS access performance causes notable performance issues, you might have a case for a table re-org. The above conditions are not particularly common (perhaps a table containing future bookings for sleepovers at Michael Jackson's place ? ;) but if they do, consider the clustering factor of your most significant index access while you're at it, assuming there is one.
The point I'll like to make are a couple of issues with your formula above.
Firstly, it doesn't consider general block overhead details which means for largish tables with a sum of 100 block or more of overhead, the (rather expensive) re-org would achieve nothing.
Secondly, it doesn't consider blocks above the HWM which could quite easily exceed the 100 mark depending on extent size. Again the re-org would result in a somewhat disappointing outcome.
The formula above will potentially call for the re-org of *all* your larger tables for absolutely no benefit.
Glad you asked the question ....

Daario Naharis and Grey Worm find him hiding in a house in Meereen and arrest him. Daenerys Targaryen consults her advisors and Mossador urges her to kill him to send a message to the Sons of the Harpy. Ser Barristan Selmy advises her to exercise caution and give him a fair trial as a way of maintaining the equality among the citizens, to which she agrees. Before the trial can take place, Mossador enters the Son's cell and murders him. Mossador dumps his corpse in public, his face covered by his harpy mask and writes "kill the masters" on a wall in his blood. He is executed as punishment for this.[1]

'I became a sex slave to both men and animals in Russia' – 24-Year-Old Nigerian Lady
The story of a 24-year-old Nigerian woman identified only as Juliet who was tricked into prostitution in Russia where she went to study, has gone viral.
Narrating the the heart-chilling story, a Russian photographer, Tatiana Egorova, revealed that some Nigerian pimps usually lure most girls into sex slavery abroad by promising them good jobs.
Egorova further disclosed that Juliet, who hails from Edo State, went to study Economics in a Russian University only to be tricked into prostitution by a woman after they arrived the airport in Moscow.
The woman reportedly told Juliet that she owed her the money which she paid for their transit and urged her to sell her body to men in order to pay her back.
"Juliet is from Benin City, Edo State and she was first girl I spoke with. Juliet said her neighbor who was later revealed to be working for a gang, suggested to Juliet's parents to send their daughter to study Economics at a Russian university," Egorova disclosed.
While quoting Juliet directly, Egorova said, "I'd just finished school and my parents agreed to send me to Russia after they were convinced by a neighbour that it would be best for me.
"My neighbor helped to get a student visa for me. When we landed at Moscow airport, her friend met us and took me to Voronezh, 543km away from Moscow.
"When we arrived Voronezh, the neighbor told me I owed her $45,000, being what she spent on me on transit and I must become a prostitute so as to make money to pay off the debt.
"She took away all my money and passport and with life being so difficult for me, I had to join in the sex work because the woman and her friends tortured me every day for disobeying them.
"I was stranded and left with no other option. I became a sex slave to both men and animals and nothing to show for it because my madam takes all the money."

Kees made a set of sawspines and blades in October 2013. A few month ago he offered to send me on spine/blade for inspiration. I never saw a connection between blade and bowed spine so well made as Kees did. I toothed it just for fun.
We are looking for another person to make the handle for the kit.
Wir suchen nach einer anderen Person, die einen griff für die Säge machen will.

A team of scientists led by researchers in San Diego has made headway in cracking some of the biggest challenges holding back the therapeutic promises of stem cells.
The basic building blocks of the more than 200 types of adult cells that make up the human body have long offered tantalizing potential for repairing injuries, curing diseases, growing organs and even testing new drugs.
But those applications have proved elusive, largely because stem cells have been difficult to control, their progenies have been hard to reproduce in large quantities and the conventional processes for growing the cells have added a risk of tumor growth once the cells are implanted.
The San Diego-led group greatly reduced or eliminated those problems with a new technique for turning human embryonic stem cells into neural stem cells. They reported on the results of their experiments last week in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It means we can generate stable, renewable neural stem cells or downstream products quickly, in great quantities and at clinical grade — millions in less than a week — that can be used for clinical trials and eventually, for clinical treatments," said Dr. Kang Zhang an ophthalmologist with the University of California San Diego's Institute for Genomic Medicine and Shiley Eye Center. "Until now, that has not been possible."
However, the importance of the work was tempered by the limits of the testing, which didn't push the neural stem cells to morph, or differentiate, into adult nervous system cells, said Evan Snyder, neurological stem cell researcher at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute in La Jolla.
"It's an incremental advance," said Snyder, who wasn't involved in the study but was familiar with the research. "As to whether any of this will be useful as transplantation material is still a big question."
Using the discoveries to create new therapies to reverse paralysis from spinal cord injuries or brain damage from Parkinson's disease remains years away, he said.
For that to happen, scientists must show that the induced neural stem cells aren't just stable and reproducible, but also can differentiate into the complex network of adult neuron and glial cells that make up the body's electrical system without risking the formation of tumors or cancer.
The research group was headed by Zhang and former Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla chemist Shen Ding, who teamed with colleagues at Sanford-Burnham and universities in Shanghai and Seoul, Korea. Ding left Scripps recently to join the faculty at the Gladstone Institutes in San Francisco.
In their experiments, the researchers prompted basic pluripotent stem cells to differentiate into neural stem cells, then they paused further transformation by introducing two types of small molecules to the culture. The special proteins — glycogen synthase kinase 3 and transforming growth factor beta — were previously known to play several cellular function roles.
After 10 days, the colonies of neural stem cells had rapidly expanded and their cellular characteristics were stable, the scientists reported.
One of the most promising potential uses of adult human cells grown from stem cells is to test new drugs initially in petri dishes of human cells rather than in patients. While such experiments could speed the process of developing medications, they require an affordable method for producing large quantities of mid-stage stem cells.
"To our knowledge, this is the fastest and most efficient method so far to produce neural stem cells from human embryonic stem cells," the scientists wrote of their new technique.
After 30 days, the scientists transplanted some of the neural stem cells into laboratory mice while the more basic embryonic stem cells were implanted into another group of rodents.
While mice from the first group remained tumor free for at least six months, animals from the second group were covered with tumors within six weeks.
Theoretically, the technique could be used to produce early stage versions of other types of cells such as heart muscle and pancreatic tissue, Zhang said.
"I would hope that someone will take the lead on applying these cells to other diseases," he said.
In the meantime, Zhang plans to keep working on the neural stem cells in hopes of one day using them in his studies of degenerative eye conditions such as glaucoma and macular degeneration.
"We're planning to put this into human trials hopefully in the next five years," he said.
