Will Arizona debate pit Santorum against Gingrich, Romney or Satan?
Newt Gingrich has been the most intriguing figure in the seemingly endless series of Republican presidential debates, especially in the early months of the campaign when he was trying to pull himself into contention. He's in that posture again now, having fallen sharply in popularity from his late-January apex. At Wednesday night's gabathon in Arizona, however, he'll be chasing a different front-runner: Rick Santorum, not Mitt Romney.
This should be good, for no other reason than the pointed words Gingrich and Santorum have exchanged on the campaign trail.
Santorum, you may recall, was the one who said at a previous CNN debate that Gingrich's "grandiose" thinking was a liability on the campaign trail. If Gingrich were the nominee, Republican voters would constantly be "worrying about what he's going to say next," Santorum said, adding, "I'm not going to go out and do things you're going to worry about." He's since belied that promise; more on that later.
The former senator from Pennsylvania's critique came after the debate's moderator, John King, brought up Gingrich's comment that Santorum should drop out of the race because he lacked "any of the knowledge for how to do something on this scale." When King asked Gingrich to elaborate, he replied, "How big a scale of change do we want in Washington?" He then went on to cite a litany of accomplishments by Congress (and the Clinton administration) while he was speaker of the House in the mid-1990s: welfare reform, balanced budgets, a tax cut, millions of jobs created.
"I think grandiose thoughts," Gingrich said, oblivious to the pejorative meaning of the word. "This is a grandiose country of big people doing big things, and we need leadership prepared to take on big projects."
Naturally, Gingrich won't be the only one taking aim at Santorum on Wednesday night.
Romney and Restore our Future, the "super PAC" that's supporting him, have tried to persuade voters that Santorum isn't truly conservative, fiscally, citing his support for pork-barrel projects and his votes to (gasp!) raise the federal debt limit. The former may be a valid criticism of the go-along-to-get-along ways of Washington, but pork-barrel highway projects aren't responsible for this country's fiscal woes. In fact, you could argue that such projects haven't been responsible for any of the red ink spilled during Santorum's tenure, given that they were funded by gas tax receipts that could only be spent on transportation improvements. And voting to raise the debt-ceiling, as I've argued repeatedly in the past, is simply voting to honor the commitments Congress has already made. It's not running up the credit card bill, it's agreeing to pay it.
In the old days -- say, October or November -- Romney was the one bringing the voice of reason to debates, regularly pointing out the practical realities of governing that made the purist stances taken by his rivals seem simple-minded. These aren't those days. Romney's campaign and its allies are now reduced to making the sort of silly, red-meat-waving arguments that he once nimbly shot down. That's just sad.
The conventional wisdom is that things could get worse for Romney if the campaign shifts away from economic issues (where he has some credibility) to social ones (where he doesn't). And it may head that way, considering the improving economy and the recent brouhaha over federally mandated free contraception.
But just as grandiosity is Gingrich's Achilles' heel, so may social issues be for Santorum. He can sound like an extremist when he talks about education and faith, and he doesn't seem to recognize how far out in the fringes he can be. For example, the media recently unearthed a speech he gave in 2008 in which he said Satan was targeting the United States. Even Rush Limbaugh said Santorum would have to explain that one. Yet the candidate didn't back off from the remarks or try to put them in a more reasonable-sounding context.
Pigeonholed as an anti-abortion candidate early on, Santorum has broadened his appeal by articulating a mainstream Republican vision for the economy. Granted, his desire to boost manufacturing by giving it huge advantages in the tax code smacks of industrial policy, and the Wall Street Journal's editorial board has called him on it. Yet he's also stressed the need to restore upward mobility to the working class, a blue-collar message that helps deflect the criticism that Republicans are concerned only about the wealthy. The more he talks about Satan on the stump, the more he drifts back into the fringe from which he worked so hard to escape.
So, will CNN's King introduce Satan into the debate Wednesday? Or will he still be shell-shocked from the verbal beating Gingrich delivered in South Carolina, after King opened the Jan. 19 debate with a question about the "open marriage" allegations that Gringich's most recent ex-wife had made? Perhaps Paul, who seems utterly fearless on stage, will ask Santorum whether Satan wouldn't like to see the United States bomb Iran. Now that would be an exchange worth watching.

She says "I am legitimately frightened for our nation."
Over the weekend, Donald Trump said he could shoot someone in the middle of New York's Fifth Avenue and not lose any votes in the upcoming Presidential election, and it got Bette Midler up in arms.
"They say I have the most loyal people, did you see that?" Trump said. "Where I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters, okay? It's like, incredible."
How can we live with a POTUS for four years who says things like "I could walk down Fifth Ave., shoot someone, and still not lose any votes?

Clarkson shared a similar sentiment to Midler, responding by saying "I am legitimately frightened for our nation."

2019: Former VC, 9 others jostle for Benue PDP governorship ticket
Serious Nigerian
States | Benue
Makurdi – As politicians prepare for the 2019 general elections, Prof. David Ker, former Vice Chancellor, Benue State University, Makurdi, and nine others have indicated interest in the Benue governorship seat. Cross section of delegates casting their votes for candidates during the 2017 PDP National Convention at the Eagle Square, Abuja. Photo by Abayomi Adeshida 10/12/2017 File phot0 Ker, who is seeking to contest on the platform of the PDP, will slug it out with Dr. Terhemen Tarzoor, the party's flag bearer in 2015, that lost to Governor Samuel Ortom. Other aspirants include Mr Felix Atume, Dr. Gabriel Nyitse, Mr David Iorhemba, Dr. Paul Orhii, Mr John Tondu, Dr. Stephen Hwande, Mr Richard Gbawuan and Prof. Tor Iorapuu. The aspirants met with the state working committee of the party on Friday in Makurdi, to formally intimate it of their interest. At the meeting, the PDP chairman in the state, Mr John Ngbede, assured the aspirants and other PDP members of a free, fair and credible party primaries ahead of the 2019 elections. Ngbede said that the meeting had created a forum for interaction between the party leadership and the aspirants, adding that it would foster unity and engender healthy contest for the party's ticket. He promised to hold primary elections that would be accepted by all aspirants, and cautioned against desperate tactics. "The people of Benue are desirous of returning the PDP to power in 2019; we cannot afford to disappoint them,'' he said. He restated the pledge by the party's National Chairman, Uche Secondus, that PDP would correct past mistakes, and called on the voters to give the party another chance. "We have learnt a lot from our past. Impunity and imposition of candidates by party leaders will not be allowed," he said. The chairman advised the aspirants and their supporters to avoid negative campaigns against one another, pointing out that they were one family determined to save Benue from collapse. The 10 governorship aspirants pledged their loyalty to the party, and promised to accept the outcome of the party's primary election. The aspirants, in separate remarks, however, stressed the need for a free, fair and transparent primary election so as to boost mutual confidence, ensure togetherness and engender co-operation. (NAN)

Mobile phones: the master key for smart and hyperconnected cities
The widespread use of smartphones could play a key role in the connectivity of the functional network of smart cities, serving as the instrument for a truly «hyperconnected» network capable of sustaining thousands of people in the same geographic location.
Mobile phones are the key to building a society of information, coordinating with new services to benefit a smart city. The concept of the smart city might not be deeply rooted in the minds of Latin American citizens yet, but there have been some important advances nonetheless.
For example, in Chile, the first alliances between private companies and government are starting to emerge. They will use Big Data to analyze the flow of movement in the public transportation network, sending information to users' smartphones to help them make wise transportation-related decisions based on current traffic patterns.
Studies carried out by American consultancy firm IHS Technology have projected that the number of smart cities globally will quadruple by the year 2025.
It is important to note that many of the initiatives in these cities or urban spaces are focused on integrating mobile phones as technological tools for everyday use. Some of these applications include carrying out mobile payments, finding a parking space or taxi, and paying for basic services. Everything will be coordinated through a smartphone, making it a true master key to access an interconnected city.
The proper relationship between technology, people and environment leads to functional and efficient cities. Smartphones will provide people with the tools needed to communicate with devices integrated into the intelligent space while facilitating the delivery of vital information to administrators in order to maintain the equilibrium of all processes.

In the 1780s, Haydn published two sets of Lieder (songs). The first set of twelve folk-songs was published by Artaria in 1781, and the second set in 1784. Both sets were published on two staves, since the vocal line was replicated in the right hand of the piano.
From this fact and the simple rhythms and harmonies of these works, music scholars have deduced the works were written for the amateur performers who showcased their talents in the musical salons that were becoming something of a trend in Viennese society at the time.
Publishers and composers alike catered to this burgeoning market of amateur musicians. And Haydn, a household name by this time, would have been much in demand—both for his presence and his music. Haydn enjoyed interacting with music lovers and amateur performers. Most scholars believe the decision to replicate the vocal line in the right hand of the piano was to aid the singer.
But I am convinced, Haydn was thinking of the amateur pianist. From his contact with amateur pianists, he would have realized that it is far more pleasurable to play an instrumental version of a song that incorporates its melody rather than an accompaniment that provides no more than harmonic support to the vocal line.
One of his correspondents, Marianne von Genzinger, the wife of the Esterházy court physician, frequently transcribed his symphonies for piano, always sending Haydn a copy of her efforts. Haydn would look these over, returning them with his comments.
He, in turn, sent her works for keyboard, and eagerly awaited her own remarks as to their difficulty. When in Vienna, he often attended the musical soirées that she organized, and took great interest in her children's musical education.
Another music-loving friend was Franz Sales von Greiner, a Habsburg court official whose musical salons attracted composers such as Mozart and Salieri, in addition to Haydn. It was Greiner who advised Haydn on the choice of texts to set to music for his sets of Lieder.
I have often wondered whether he did not look back on those years of struggle in Vienna, when it must have seemed that his dreams were:
Waiting for [him]; ghosts with no home.
Yearning to be; destined to roam.
While he was still struggling to gain a foothold in the musical world, his middle brother Michael had already secured a good position with the Bishop of Grosswardein in Hungary. Later Michael would move on to the Archbishop of Salzburg where he would encounter the Mozarts, father and son.
Haydn's parents, his mother, in particular, was anxious for him to go into the church, which would have provided a secure living to one of his musical talents. Fortunately, Haydn resisted, always believing that his dreams were:
Waiting for [him]; ghosts that still roam.
Yearning to be; they'll find a home.
They'll find a home.
And, it's in this spirit that I offer up "Ghosts with no Home," a song for cello and piano. Although cello takes the vocal line, it is, as in Haydn's Lieder, replicated in the top part of the piano. To listen to the piece, click on the link—Ghosts with no Home.
The score is up on http://ntustin.musicaneo.com/sheetmusic/

Art and Traveling - part II
Saturday, November 7, 2015
As I have written in the previous post, besides learning from the Great Masters studying their paintings up close, in galleries and museums, traveling abroad provides the opportunity to work in different locations; it is a great exercise on training to capture the local atmosphere. In addition, there is the possibility of experimenting with new techniques and use of new art materials.
Painting in oils, when travelling, may present some difficulties from brush cleaning, using solvents in inappropriate environments such as hotel rooms, to packing and transporting wet canvases.. As we know, drying time of oil painting is subject to many variables ( I intend to talk more about this soon).
I am always in search of the best art supplies to work with, not only the immediate result but permanence is also important. I want my paintings to last for many years after I´m gone.
Well, I've tested water miscible oil paints some years ago, Winsor and Newton Artisan, Talens H2Oil and Grumbacher Max. None of them satisfied me for one reason or another. The pigment concentration, for example, I didn´t find any brand with the same pigment load of the traditional oils in their professional lines
This year I've learned about Cobra, the new generation of Royal Talens water miscible oils. They are manufactured both in professional line (Cobra fine) and student (Cobra study). I tested only the professional line.

I was positively impressed by its quality, and the fact of not using solvent was a good point. At first it behaves differently from traditional oils, but after understanding how to handle it, a new world is opened! No smell!
When I´m travelling all paintings are done alla prima, hit or miss in one session.

Between Kebap and Diploma (Zwischen Döner und Diplom)
As a German Chancellors Fellow, I documented the educational outlook of Turkish pupils, part of Germany's largest minority. For this nonlinear storytelling project I shadowed seven pupils at school, at home, and in the mosque. I built relationships, shot portraits, conducted and edited interviews in German, and designed the interface. In addition to the website, I helped produce an accompanying booklet with support from the Humboldt Foundation and Regionalverband Ruhr. (In German)
Betwen Kebab and Diploma
The project offers first-hand narratives from Germany's largest minority and serves not only to inform the public but to inspire others to seek their educational goals.
Betwen Kebab and Diploma
Through portraits and interviews, the students share what it is like being part of Germany's largest minority. This group of pupils is often talked about - but rarely talked "with," which was the impetus for the project.
Rising from the Rust
introduces viewers to the Ruhr Valley through anecdotes and photos of the Ruhrgebiet's own citizens. Following the closure of coal mines and steel mills, the Ruhr Valley has undergone a revolution, turning industrial sites into cultural spectacles. For this interactive project, I conducted all interviews in German, shot all photos, edited all content, and designed the site in Flash. The project was supported by the Bosch Foundation and is now part of the Ruhr Museum's long-term exhibit at Zollverein in Essen.

« More Students Graduating From Chicago High Schools Are Enrolling in College | Main | College Enrollment Down Slightly, Report Finds »
Student Aid Programs Get Slight Boost in Proposed Federal Budget
The Congressional spending bill released Tuesday includes some additional federal dollars to help disadvantaged students get into and through college.
The proposal, which must get the approval by both chambers and signature by President Obama before going into effect, would sidestep a government shutdown this week and fund the government through next September.
In the compromise appropriations bill, the maximum Pell award, targeted at low-income students, would increase for the 2015-16 academic year by $100 to $5,830.
Two years ago, Congress stopped providing Pell Grants to community college students without a high school diploma. This new legislation would restore the "ability to benefit" program giving students access to the federal aid as long as they are in a career pathway program at a community college.
The bill also provides support for efforts by the U.S. Department of Education to test competency-based education as an alternative method for delivering federal financial aid.
As for career technical education, the budget proposal does not cut money from the Perkins Act, which supports those programs in high schools. Funding for the program would remain flat at $1.1 billion for basic state grant programs and $7.4 million for Perkins national activities.
The legislation includes $840 million, an increase of $1.5 million, for TRIO, a slate of programs that help disadvantaged students access college.
There is a provision for $2.5 million to establish a new national center for students with disabilities to help disabled students transition between high school and college. It would also fund campus training to better serve and provide accommodations for these students.
(For more on the compromise bill and its effect on other education programs, see Politics K-12)

KACE Product Support Question
USMT with K2
03/20/2012 3123 views
We would like to start taking advantage of the USMT option in the K2, but it seems that you can only deploy a user state WITH an image. We would like to be able to deploy the user state as the very last part of our imaging process to minimize the amount of time that the user cannot use their account. The problem is that if we push the user state with the image then anything that the user does from the time of our USMT capture will not be saved on the new computer (hence the need to do it as the last step). Is this possible?
Answer Summary:
0 Comments [ + ] Show comments
Community Chosen Answer
Please log in to answer
Are the users getting new machines? What you could do is capture the user state from their old machine. Download it from the K2, and manually run it on the new machine. Its just a Microsoft easy transfer file.
Answered 03/23/2012 by: dchristian
That's too bad that they don't have an equivalent to the "Run Now" of the K1 scripts. Thanks for the response I saw what you were talking about, but haven't had a chance to test it yet. That is what I was looking for though.
It would be nice to have the ability to deploy the user state independently of the imaging process. In my case I just need to move my users to a new computers, but they're also on a different domain. I think my only choice besides re-imaging the pc's is to get a book and spend a week learning USMT command line code.

I don't see a way around this other than doing the imaging after hours or while they're out to lunch. We deployed 200+ machines and this is what we had to do for the big wigs.

Boo Baby Boo
Eighteen years ago today,
Your Daddy called to say,
Some pains in Mummy's tummy,
He thought the baby was on its way.
At the hospital,
A nurse in witch's costume
Came in the room with play.
Now, several hours later,
In mid afternoon,
Down the tube and into the room,
Came Belly Button Boo!
Daddy cut your umbilical cord.
Mummy sat up and smiled.
Gram was happy to see you.
The doctors and nurses
All gave a cheer and said,
"Hello Little Pumpkin,"
"We're glad you are here."
"Happy Halloween, WHAT… A…TREAT!!"
Five days later, Mummy and Daddy and you,
Came to Grama's house for dinner,
Mummy was singing a song.
It went like this:
"Emily Rose, Emily Rose
Chubby little fuzzy little,
Stuffed with fluff,
Oh…Emily Rose, Emily Rose
Chubby little fuzzy little girl"!
Such a happy memory the day my granddaughter was born; such a wonderful eighteen years.

Just say the word Chianti and you evoke winding roads lined with cypress trees and old limestone farmhouses in what is perhaps Italy's most photographed and photogenic region, Tuscany.
Whether it's mentions in pop culture (who can forget Hannibal Lecter's infamous pairing?) or the straw-flasked bottles that once hung from the mom-and-pop Italian joints that we all loved as kids, Chianti is arguably one of the world's most recognizable wines. No matter the level of wine appreciation, enthusiasm or connoisseurship, nearly everyone has tasted a Chianti at some point in his or her adult life.
Chianti is produced in a number of Tuscan appellations or DOCs (which stands for denominazione d'origine controllata or designation of controlled origin, a classification system created in the 1960s and based on the French AOC or appellation d'origine contrôlée). These include Chianti dei Colli Fiorentini (in Florence province), Chianti dei Colli Senesi (Siena province) and Chianti Rufina, named after the village, one of the highest-elevation townships in Chianti, where it is made.
The most famous, of course, is Chianti Classico, so named because it covers the original townships or communes where Chianti has been produced since the 18th century, when Tuscany's ruling family, the Medici, began to regulate wine production there.
The primary grape in this typically blended wine is Sangiovese, Italy's workhorse red grape and most widely planted variety. But the blend can include a seemingly limitless number of native and international grape varieties, including Colorino and Canaiolo (indigenous to Tuscany, held to be the traditional blending grapes in the appellation) and Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, among others (international grapes that tend to dominate the more delicate Sangiovese).
This story continues on the next page.
The newly formed Houston Press Tasting Panel gathered recently to taste five expressions of Chianti. Loosely based on New York Times wine critic Eric Asimov's tasting series, the panel (on this occasion) was comprised of managing editor James Brock, Houston-based journalist Angela Shah, 60 Degrees Mastercrafted wine director Vanessa Treviño-Boyd and Dolce Vita Pizzeria & Enoteca wine director Nathan Smith, who hosted the gathering in the restaurant's private dining room and wine cellar.
The wines were not tasted blind, and the panel made a point of pairing them with dishes from Dolce Vita's kitchen in order to evaluate them in terms of how they worked with (or against) the food.
All of the wines cost less than $30 and all of them are available in the Houston market (Spec's had the widest selection of Chianti while the Houston Wine Merchant had a more focused and higher-end offering).
The panel's most expert taster, Treviño-Boyd, noted that Chianti is a "gateway" wine, a category that often inspires budding wine enthusiasts to delve deeper in Italy. Echoing her observation, Smith talked about how Chianti has always been an integral part of his list at Dolce Vita, "a great value for the money" and "always a favorite" of guests.
The panel's number one wine was the Villa di Vetrice 2009 Chianti Rufina Riserva, which weighs in at less than $15 at Spec's. Even though Treviño-Boyd found it to be "disjointed," with the "acidity trumping the fruit," the panel's cumulative scores (based on a 1-10 scale) put it on top.
Villa di Vetrice 2009 Chianti Rufina Riserva (under $15; BEST VALUE)
Bright in the glass and on the palate, this acidity-driven wine showed bright cherry and berry fruit flavors. This was arguably the most traditional-style Chianti in the flight, and its Sangiovese character was prominent. (Rufina, pronounced ROO-fee-nah, is a village in the northern part of Chiantishire and lies outside of the Chianti Classico zone.)
Fèlsina 2011 Chianti Classico Berardenga (under $30)
This wine, made from 100 percent Sangiovese grapes, also scored high with the panel. "Texture is particularly pleasing," wrote Treviño-Boyd, "a touch of grit that provides overall complete mouthfeel. Complex fruit."
Monsanto 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva (around $25)
This iconic wine also scored high, and everyone on the panel remarked about how its beautiful label makes it a "great gift idea." Brock was particularly taken with the wine's "funkiness," calling it "a good thing." The wine had good balance between fruit and body, he noted, and "paired well with the salami."
Ruffino 2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Ducale (around $25)
Ruffino (the winery name, pronounced roof-FEE-noh), with its distinctive gold label, is perhaps the most easy-to-find and recognizable of all the wines the panel tasted. The panel wasn't particularly impressed by this bottling. "Pretty green with intense oak tannin," wrote Smith, who works almost exclusively with Italian wine and travels each year to the Italian wine trade fairs. "I don't see this one coming together," he noted.

Querciabella 2010 Chianti Classico (under $25)
The Querciabella was the least favorite among panelists, with Shah noting that it was "light in body" and had an unappealing "sweetness." Treviño-Boyd also gave it a lower score, noting that it was "closed aromatically. Very nice upfront concentration, but missing a mid-palate presence as well as a finish."
The panel was impressed with the Molino di Grace 2010 Chianti Classico, which Smith pours by the glass at Dolce Vita, although it's not currently available for retail sale in our market. It was classic in style, with wonderful Sangiovese character and notes of plum and ripe red fruit.
Stay tuned for more Houston Press Tasting Panel posts.

From the hand made Native American blanket the Pendleton Mills legend began at the turn of the century with a woolen mill in Pendleton, Oregon. Producing beautiful wool blankets in vivid colors and authentic designs for the neighboring Umatilla and Cayuse tribes.
Those Legendary Pendleton Blankets
By the early 1900's the relationship between Pendleton Mills and Drew's Boots in Klamath Falls, Oregon had been established. Pendleton Woolen Mills were one of the first companies to offer Native American designs and the styles and textures that are so loved today. Loyalty to the brand was evident with the Nez Perce nation and Chief Joseph near Pendleton, who used the blankets to keep warm for apparel and for ceremonial use. The word of the unbelievable quality of the blankets spread, and the tribes that endorsed the brand include Navajo, Hopi and Zuni nations. The popularity of the blankets and their use of Pendleton pattern designers had enormous respect for Native American history and culture. Pendleton employees spent time with the Indian tribes of Oregon and the Southwest, to learn more about the Indian respect for quality and the reflection on Native American lifestyle that could be incorporated into the manufacturing process. Today Pendleton wool blankets are considered some of the finest blankets to be found and are still proudly made in Pendleton, Oregon the same state that founded Drew's Boots.
Pendleton Woolen Mills
Pendleton Woolen Mills are loyal to the heritage with styles like the Chief Joseph and the Lakota Way of Life blankets, that continues to honor Native American tribal traditions. The company proudly supports the American Indian College Fund through the sale of limited edition blankets, and partners with the Museum of the American Indian at the Smithsonian. Imagine yourself in a warm handmade Pendleton Mills made blanket this winter.
Pendleton Blankets
Pendleton Blankets: These blankets are robe size, the size preferred by Native Americans for ceremonial purposes and wrapping about oneself as a robe. They are impressive as wall hangings and practical when folded on a sofa or at the foot of a bed. Felt bound, 82% pure virgin wool / 18% cotton. Dry clean. Made in the USA. 64" x 80".
Pendleton Shirts:You can see and feel the Pendleton passion for quality. Feel it in the softness of the lightweight, luxurious 100% pure virgin wool clothing we produce.
See all our Pendleton blankets.

The New Work Force
What is the new work force, it's technology, it's automation. There is a major shift in how work is and will be done in the next 5 – 10 years, and it will be done by machines. This releases people from jobs, tasks that a machine can do. Once people are free, they will have another problem, multiple problems actually. What to do with this new-found free time, and what to do to generate income to live on.
Before the Industrial Age, people help one another, before there was regular pay cheque we traded food, furs, we gave each other food, all kinds of things, we exchanged services between neighboring communities, helped build homes for families new to the area. It was a harder life than we know, but it was also a simpler time.
This freedom will create a nervous breakdown for many, the Industrial Age, the factory work, manual labour, gave us structure, we had a set of rules and duties that had to be completed, we were told what to do, and we did it well. In the near future, this structure will now tell technology what and how to do the tasks of the day.
There are many reasons for this automation to take over, the big one, profit, and there is this thinking that people are like software, and are a problem that needs to be improved upon, upgraded if you will. There are some Futurists, Jeremy Rifkin & Andrew McAfee, who believe we are heading towards a world where people no longer need to work. Which begs the question, what replaces work? How do people make a living? Personally, work may not set us free, but it brings meaning to our days, and without it we'd be lost.
Should this come to pass, there's good news…60% of the best jobs in the next 20 years haven't even been invented yet, that brings great opportunity and innovation to all. I'm already thinking about what some of these new jobs might be or look like, I'll write about it of course : )
The new work force, coming sooner than you think.
Nobody Notices
At first when you put you and your work out there for the world to see, you hope someone will like it, but be prepared for those who don't, it's the nature of starting something new. This blog is one of those things I put out there, to see if someone was interested in what I'm sharing, it was a risk and it still is. I believe we are headed for a complete reset in the world of business, I believe we will give away more than we actually sell, I believe the younger generations will drive these changes. I set out to help you figure out how to take part in the new world order of business, how to use the open & free business model, how to Create, Differentiate, and Deliver.
Nobody notices at first, sometimes it takes longer than it should, but eventually….somebody notices. The like-minded do come, they'll spread your work, they may even talk about, they may even follow you, waiting for the next thing you have to say. If you're fortunate and you've built enough trust, you have true fans, and those are priceless, cherish them, even if you don't know them personally.
Nobody Notices immediately, you do have to make it easy for people to see your work, if you've created good work, many will notice. If your work isn't good, some will come, but many will go somewhere else to find the information you're sharing. If at first your work isn't good enough, don't quit, keep creating it until you come to master your creation. This isn't a new message, it's tried true message, but for some reason we keep hoping it will change and everyone will become fans of what we do.
Consistency is a secret ingredient to success, giving up is not. Write, create, make if different, and deliver…it's the only way you'll know if anyone notices.
The Choice Is Yours
The truth is, someone has to drive the forklift, someone has to drive the truck, sell cars, and so on. There will always be a need for manual labor no matter how much technology invades our world. There will always be a need for human interaction. While 60% of sales may be online, we will still have big box stores and specialty shops, and someone has to work in them.
No matter how advanced we get, no matter how smart, no matter how close we get to the singularity, there will always be a need for people to look each other in the eye, and for humans to do manual labor. The question is, are you one of those people, or do you believe you were meant to do something different, something your parents never had the opportunity to do because they had to provide the basics of survival.
We all have been conditioned to believe that there is one way to organize work, to be creative, and to deliver goods and services. Today, we come to realize that's not the case anymore, we have options. I didn't have the same options as a young man, Microsoft started in 1975, the year I graduated in a small town in Northern BC. I had never heard of or seen a computer, just a handheld calculator, who knew we would be where we are today! We all have the same 24 hours, and we all have to provide the basics for our families. Once you have those things in perspective and under control, the choice is yours.
Do you continue to do manual labor, there is no shame in it, or journey into the world of an entrepreneur, where security has a different meaning. You have it in you do either one.
The Future Of Business – Two Camps
Listen To This Post As A Podcast, now available on iTunes:
Podcast: Play in new window | Download | Embed
I recently heard an interview that challenged me, in fact, I would say it changed my life. It changed my attitude towards my work and how I go about doing it. What is my work you ask? I'm a Futurist, a Thought-leader, I help you understand a new business model that forces all of us to leave the Industrial Age way of doing work & business behind. I teach & preach the Open & Free Business Model, where the 90/10 rule is the new equation, you give away 90%, and charge for 10%, it in effect, turns business upside down. More importantly, my work is a freedom message, it's a mindset, and mindset trumps skill set everytime.
It's possible you haven't heard about it, you probably don't know what it means, and what it stands for, but that alone makes it interesting. How can it possibly help you, how can it generate revenues, and how do you implement the model. Each and everyone of us knows something isn't working, we're just to resistant to change it. We must change it, in fact we don't have a choice anymore. The Open & Free Business Model is a new way to disrupt your industrial age thinking. What's interesting is, the level of resistance to it, resistance to accepting the truth about business, resistance to admitting the industrial age way of organizing and delivering work is dead, it just doesn't work anymore!
The Heart Of The Open & Free Business Model
– Do something
– Make something
– Give it away
– Do work that matters
– Connect with people
– Lead people
– Deliver
– Make a difference in the world
Answer the question, how many people are better off because you lived?
The list above doesn't work by itself, you truly have to change the way you think, unlearn, and learn new ways of getting things done, to disrupt your default patterns. It takes work. The how to(s) are the easy part, changing the way you think is more difficult. The biggest hurdle, the fear of loss, this fear is at the very core of the open & free business model. It's to become a minimalist to delivering products & services, to simply do something, and you will find your place in a community. These communities are made up of two camps, they decide whether it happens and if it's useful.
1. You
2. Your Fans
You must learn to embrace and trust both camps.
For the first time in history, you get to decide, you get to do the work you've dreamed about, all we need is for you to do it, to do something. The cost of doing nothing, is far greater than the cost of failing, it's a paradigm shift, only you can "Flick The Switch"!
Your Fans decide whether what you do is useful, whether it's valuable, they will tell you who they are, and if they will be a true fan.
If any of this resonates with you, then you've been convicted, you can no longer ignore the voice inside of you, you have to do something about it. Flick The Switch!
This is the first in a series, to help you understand a new way of thinking, and the Open & Free Business Model, feel free to leave questions in the comments, and lets change the world together.
The Future Of Business – Office Sharing With SwitchCube
There's a new business in my community, a first of it's kind, it's motto, "working alone sucks…". I paid them a visit this past week and was pleasantly surprised, it's a very clean environment, brand new in fact, with great foresight on how and where we will work in the future.
Matt Farley is one of the principles, co-founder, and he loves to tell the story of how they came to be, but more importantly, he is excited about where this company is going.
In the past I have considered opening an office, you know a bricks & mortar location, but could never bring myself to do it, the overhead was too much. With SwitchCube, it not only saves me money, I don't have to own it or build it. I can have an office when I want, a board room, a small office, or I can do a class room environment, great for workshops. On top of that, I can serve coffee if I need it, that's right, they even have a small kitchen facility should you need it.
Matt says, this is just the beginning, we will offer bigger and better office space should the need present itself. Who would use this great facility, Real Estate Agents, Financial Advisers, Independent Contractors of all sorts, pretty much any self-employed individual who has a need for an office, whether it be for just a few hours, all day, and or longer. It's a great place to have an off-site meeting with staff, no distractions. Telecommuting has been around a while, but office sharing is a new concept for this community.
I suggest you drop in and have a chat with Matt and his crew to discover how you might use this great new service.
I highly recommend them, here is their contact information:

Setting Records While Showing Sportsmanship
Heading into this weekend's games, I wanted to draw some attention to the effort turned in last week by Harrisonburg (Va.) junior Michael Holmes, who put up some numbers that will be hard to surpass without compromising sportsmanship.
The 6-foot, 195-pound Holmes rushed for a Virginia state-record-tying eight first-half touchdowns in Harrisonburg's 69-27 victory over Lee-Staunton. He finished the game with 413 yards rushing, all but 23 coming before halftime, when the score was 56-27. Holmes only carried twice in the third quarter before taking the rest of the night off, which is something that should be applauded. Holmes, who finished seven yards short of the school's single game record, and 87 shy of the Virginia High School League mark (set by West Springfield's Damone Boone in 1995) , could have easily stayed in the game to pad his stats and probably put him name all over the record books. Instead, he and the Harrisonburg coaching staff were content to let his two-plus quarters of action stand on their own without running up the score on Lee. Bravo.
"It would be very hard for anybody to get that many touchdowns again," Harrisonburg Coach Tim Sarver told the Daily News-Record. "I mean, that's just something we don't do. Usually, if we're up three touchdowns, we're usually going to put somebody else in - four touchdowns, at least."
Besides, Holmes might be putting together a record-breaking season, given what he did his previous two games.
In a season-opening 21-17 loss to Handley, Holmes rushed for 228 yards on 29 carries, including a 99-yard touchdown that tied the game at 14 going into halftime.
The following week, Holmes put up 273 yards and five touchdowns on just 12 carries – all in the first half - in a 48-20 victory over Rockbridge County. Here was another case where Harrisonburg could have left Holmes in the game to pile up more yards. With the game well in hand, up 41-6, Holmes took the second half off and Harrisonburg coasted to the victory.
According to the Daily News-Record, Holmes hasn't received any recruiting interest, because he hasn't shown the breakaway speed BCS conference schools seek in running backs. He attended a camp at nearby James Madison. That's like a kid from DeMatha making a trip up Route 1 to Maryland.
But with 914 yards in three games – two of which he only played half – Holmes could make a run at the VHSL record books. Powell Valley's (and subsequently Virginia's) Thomas Jones has the state record of 3,319 yards, but that was set in 14 games.
Harrisonburg hosts Heritage-Lynchburg on Friday night. Even though he doesn't face any teams from the Washington area the rest of the way, Holmes' statistics are worth paying attention to this season.

The Liliaceae, or the lily family, are a family of monocotyledons in the order Liliales. Plants in this family have linear leaves, mostly with parallel veins but with several having net venation (e.g., Cardiocrinum, Clintonia, Medeola, Prosartes, Scoliopus, Tricyrtis), and flower arranged in threes. Several have bulbs, while others have rhizomes. Shade-dwelling genera usually have broad, net-veined leaves, fleshy fruits with animal-dispersed seeds, rhizomes, and small, inconspicuous flowers; genera native to sunny habitats usually have narrow, parallel-veined leaves, capsular fruits with wind-dispersed seeds, bulbs, and large, visually conspicuous flowers.
The lily family was formerly a paraphyletic "catch-all" group of petaloid monocots that did not fit into other families. It included a great number of genera now included in other families and in some cases in other orders, including Agavaceae, Alliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Asparagaceae, Asphodelaceae, Hyacinthaceae, Melanthiaceae, Nartheciaceae, Ruscaceae, Smilacaceae, Tecophilaeaceae, Themidaceae, Tofieldiaceae, and Uvulariaceae, and members of the monocot orders Asparagales, Dioscoreales, and Alismatales. Smilacaceae appears to be the family most closely related to Liliaceae in its modern restricted sense.
The genus Calochortus, which includes the sego and mariposa lilies, and its allied genera are separated into a separate family Calochortaceae in some schemes, while others maintain them as a subfamily of Liliaceae, the Calochortoideae.
It is estimated that the family evolved 58 million years ago during the Early Paleogene.

HEY LOVES!! How have you been?
I know I was in much away. Since long I haven't updated my blog. As was dealing with some health issues. The thing is I was suffering from skin allergy due to which I wasn't able to shoot as well as update the blog.
Here I am finally 🙂
This piece I literally could not resist featured in today's outfit post! This metallic green dress though. It is something a bit different for my wardrobe and whilst may think it's an expensive novelty, only time will tell.I believe in the power of dusty shades, I think it's chic and possesses more longevity then one may first think and even if I turn out to be wrong, it's too FLUFFY for me to care!
The metallic dress was another must have for me, I found it to be so striking and it didn't take much working out to why I was compelled to make it mine, it is both metallic and pleated.
With it being green just made it all the more alluring to me. Whilst I didn't combine these pieces together for a festive look, I hope you are having a great start to your week. This colour is extremely versatile, as you can use it from work to parties. Of course, green colour is the epitome of new life and warm weather, that's why I see lots of ladies who appear in green skirts exactly in spring and summer months.
But it doesn't mean you can't rock this garment in cold season months. You can still sport it from October to March. This skirt is a perfect choice for those ladies who want to feel themselves cool, special and fabulous. This outfit is great for winter months Dark blue long-sleeve tight top is tucked in pleated maxi green skirt. I am impressed by this bottom's airy look:
Ever since I got my hands on this beautiful dress I was just feeling so amazing about the colour the material and all dolled up look. Since the colour is knew I wanted to try a new look with it, For the very first time I did a hair up do, I know I am looking too way different from usual. But ethnic got me like feel to do this.
So, I got this customised green metallic dress from a boutique. This skirt is made up of green silk silhouette and the crop top is embellished with handmade curate work on it.
You can wear this on a wedding season or on a friend's reception. However the skirt is just love. I love the material as well as the look of it.
Sharing all the looks with you here, Hope you love it.

Chapter Seven
"You take me to such interesting places," I said dourly, and stepped around a pile of rotted, stinking something-or-another on the path in the drainage pipe. The scents blanketed our senses, and stuck in the back of my throat like a sickly, viscous mucous. I switched to breathing through my mouth and not my nose, but my brain still screamed that I wasn't fooling it.
"Well, I had to one-up the diner somehow," he replied blithely, his broad shoulders leading the way through the semi-dark labyrinth of tunnels.
"A contact of mine lives down here; you'd be surprised what she can hear through the storm drain system throughout the city."
The thought of visiting down here made my skin crawl, let alone living in a place like this. I get that ideally storm drains are for storm water, but those who dwelt above didn't seem to care, and all manner of nastiness was collecting along the surfaces.
"Does she hate visitors, or something?" I asked, not being able to fathom who, or what, would voluntarily be here, except someone who wanted to have solitude in the middle of a city.
"She's in hidin', and a little shy. Not many know she's down here, and she'd like to keep it that way, but we need to know why the Strixes attacked the shifter; if for no other reason than to keep them from tearin' you to pieces. She might have heard somethin', so we'll check with her first," he finished, and the reminder of how close I'd come to being shifter chow shut me up for the remainder of the trek.
Plus, it made it easier to concentrate on not inhaling the smell.
Oliver stopped and half-turned toward me. The side of his face I could see in the low light quirked in an impish smile.
"I'm one of the few people she blessed with the ability to visit her, so you'll have to hold my hand if you want to come in."
I scowled, but his grin merely widened in response.
"You're enjoying this too much," I said, and folded my arms over my chest, not wanting to reach forward and take his hand. I couldn't tell if it was because I was feeling persnickety, or on the principle that I wanted so badly to hold his hand, therefore I shouldn't. Quandaries, eh?
"You could always stay here, alone, with nothing but the muck, rats, and smell to keep you company," he so helpfully suggested, and an icy finger trailed down my spine, causing me to shiver in response to the word 'rat'. So I was being a wimp about some rodents, so what? Have you seen the size of the ones that fed off some of the magical runoff in this town? Anyone in their right mind avoided them.
Or, at least that's what I told myself as I tentatively reached forward and took his hand, my heart now galloping faster than it had all day, and I hoped he hadn't seen me gulp.
"Only because of the rats," I said meekly, as his warmth engulfed my chilled fingers. He chuckled, low and softer than a down south summer night full of fireflies. Then, without warning, he pulled me through the wall on our right before I could even think to hold my breath.
It was as if we were moving through a weird kind of water, but thicker, that sucked at my body, and did its best to trap me in its suffocating confines–though nothing tried to enter my mouth or nostrils. After what seemed like an eternity, with lungs screaming in protest, Oliver gave one final pull and I was through.
I let go of his hand and fell to my knees, gasping, while the bastard laughed.
"It's usually better to do it without warning, since the first thing you want to do when you come out is take a big breath," he supplied, and in my dimmed, oxygen-deprived vision, I saw his hand as an offering to help me up. Resisting the urge to spit on it, I got a foot to a kneeling position, used my hands to push on my thigh, and stood without help, though I did wobble somewhat.
Oliver didn't comment, but I could almost feel him roll his eyes, even though I wasn't looking at him right at that moment; I was too worried about not falling over. He did, however, give me a moment to orient myself, which I was silently grateful for.
The first thing I noticed was the lack of awful smells. In fact, it smelled almost…nice. Looking around the large, circular room, which would have been called a courtyard if it had been open to the sky, I was staggered by the beauty of the fountain sitting in the dead center. Created from the most flawless, snow white marble imaginable, the centerpiece was a beautiful tree of some sort, the trunks and branches curving to form the shape of a running woman. Without realizing I'd done it, I walked in a wide circle to find her face, my sneakers soundless on the cobbled stone floor; a drastic, yet appealing, change from the concrete tunnels.
The tree-woman's face was turned skyward, eyes scared and pleading, mouth slightly open as one of the openings for the water of the fountain to gently flow out of. It was also coming from the ends of the branches, and created a delicate, soothing sound on the water collecting in the pool at the bottom.
"She's beautiful," I whispered as Oliver approached and stood next to me.
"Too beautiful for her own good," a soft, sorrowful voice stated from behind us, and my heart skipped a beat as I nearly jumped out of my skin. All the fear I was experiencing today couldn't be good for my health–I needed a vacation.
"Sophie, this is Daphne," Oliver said, and in a rare show of respect inclined his head in her direction.
Her hair was luscious and long, even though some of it was braided as a crown, while the rest rested over her right shoulder and down to her waist like a thick, overfed snake. Features that were delicate and seemingly sculpted by the gods themselves, held a placid sort of calm that rippled from her in gentle waves. I could almost See it happening, the slight vibrations and disturbance on the air, meant to soothe those around her. She tilted her head on a slender neck, and her liquid, dark, soot brown eyes peered at me curiously, and matched her hair almost perfectly in color. Her supple, lithe body was clothed in a cobalt blue chiton, with enough material to make a traditional kolpos, or blousing, at the waist.
My eyes had widened at the name, and I did a double-take between her and the fountain.
"You mean Daphne the Naiad, as in, Daphne and Apollo?" I asked, stunned to be in the presence of someone from Greek mythology. I mean, don't get me wrong, they were still around and up to their usual shenanigans, but not here, and certainly not in a storm pipe.
A sad, self-deprecating smile pulled one corner of her full lips. "The very same."
Oliver cleared his throat. "Daphne, we've come–"
"I know why you have visited, Oliver. I have felt the presence of the Strixes over the last few days," she said, and continued to look at me. I could scarcely breathe at the mention of the Strixes, and the knowing look in her eyes. "Nothing good is coming our way if they are here, and I will help if I can, but in all honesty I'm not sure what I'll be able to offer," she finished, and finally broke eye contact with me.
My knees turned to water, as though her gaze had been the only thing keeping me upright, and Oliver put a supportive hand beneath my elbow to keep me upright. I muttered a thanks under my breath, though it likely didn't sound as appreciative as I meant it to be.
"We would greatly appreciate any insight and help you have to offer," Oliver said, and bowed his head in deference.
Daphne looked at him for a moment more, thoughts flashing over the face that had garnered unwanted attention from the god, Apollo, and finally nodded.
"As you wish–please, come with me."

Abstract # 6603
Secondary or t-MDS
It is important to recognize that, while secondary MDS (t-MDS) represents approximately 10% of MDS cases, the chance of developing MDS if you are treated for another cancer is very low - less than 1/2 of 1% (0.5%) in most cases, though the risk increases in patients who receive multiple rounds of chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and also in those who undergo stem cell transplants for conditions like lymphoma. Read more about t-MDS
Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) are diseases of the blood and bone marrow that impact a significant number of patients with a need for better therapy. Patients who have already been diagnosed with cancer in the past are considered to have secondary AML or secondary MDS. This group of patients generally does not respond as well to treatment as patients with no cancer history. An unanswered question is what factors are related to this poor outcome in secondary AML/MDS. This study at the M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Texas looked back at the patients in their center who had a diagnosis of secondary AML or secondary MDS to try to identify features that were associated with treatment response.
A total of 1073 patients with AML and 1109 patients with MDS were identified at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. The number of prior cancers, the type of prior cancer, and the past treatments were all significantly related to patient survival. Of the 2182 patients, 1907 had one prior cancer, 239 had 2 prior cancers, and 36 had 3 prior cancers. Patients with more than 1 prior cancer had a significantly shorter time before they were diagnosed with secondary AML or MDS. The most frequent types of prior cancers were blood cancer (25%), breast cancer (16%), prostate cancer (16%), and skin cancer (9%). Patients who had kidney cancer in the past had a significantly shorter survival than patients with a history of lung cancer. The treatment plans included surgery (1252 patients), radiation (939 patients), chemotherapy (1211 patients), or observation (124 patients). Patients whose treatment plan included chemotherapy had a shorter survival time than patients who did not receive chemotherapy for their prior cancer(s). For patients who had received chemotherapy, there was a significantly higher amount of genetic abnormalities present at the time of diagnosis of MDS or AML.
Patients with AML and MDS that develop after a prior cancer diagnosis do poorly and this is particularly true for patients have received chemotherapy in the past.
There was a significant relationship between survival and the number of prior cancers a patient had where patients who had more prior cancers had worse outcomes.


text: Need2riteFaster 6 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 After a recent unusually high number of black-on-black murders in Montgomery, Alabama, the local police department declared itself utterly clueless. "Police Chief Kevin Murphy says police cannot stop these violent crimes until they understand them. But it's easier said than done, so police are getting help from other professionals to devise a plan." So they hired a Afro-American professional. Earnest H.R. Blackshear Jr., Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Psychology at Alabama State University and Director of The Community Violence Laboratory at Alabama State University, has been appointed chairman of the Montgomery Police Department's newly formed Montgomery Task Force on Community Violence. He is a mugshot of the good professor: http://hbcubuzz.com/asu-partners-with-montgomery-police-to-combat-crime/ From the articles linked below, here are the good Professor's theories and ideas so far: "We have to work on awareness campaigns to make it okay for people to understand that it's not the police's job to prevent homicide," he says. "The police's job is once a homicide occurs, to find the perpetrator." "In communities filled with people released from prison, Dr. Blackshear says the moral code goes away and, what he calls the "street code," becomes law." "He says most people committing violent crimes grew up on the streets watching them happen, and because of that, suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)." "I'm saying the personality configuration of these young black males who live in these islands of concentrated poverty have the same configuration of a combat veteran except they don't have the treatment facilities and the assistance of diagnosing and treating." And here are the good Professor's interventions and treatment plans: "Prevention is the responsibility of the mental health community because it's a problem with impulsive control, a lack of impulse control and a lot of aggression." "We need to look at what are the precursors that allow individual to get that angry to shoot another human and end their life and not have any remorse about it." "He says those with mental illness lack conflict resolution techniques and become dangerous when armed. Dr. Blackshear says treatment is vital in the fight to stop the violence." And finally in a brainstorm of brillant empirical knowledge that can only be lumped in the category of he should return his Ph.D. to the local 7-11 store from whence it came: "Dr. Blackshear told us Montgomery Police are putting together a basketball tournament called Operation Nebula, where authorities will play against young men in these inner city areas in an effort to create better communication." Now I have no indepth knowledge of intricacies and nuances of psychology and psychiatry. However, I just have to believe that mentally ill people playing basketball with police officers cannot, in no way, be therapeutic. Or maybe this so-called psychologist has limited experience and is simply masquerading as it seems he was just dropped onto the planet the week before he was appointed to this task force.

Water transport across plasma membranes is a fundamental cellular function. Net water movement in response to an osmotic gradient changes cell volume. Steady-state exchange of water molecules (water cycling), with no net flux or volume change, occurs by passive diffusion through the phospholipid bilayer and via membrane proteins. In a very exciting discovery, we have found that steady-state water exchange correlates with the activity of the yeast cellular membrane major ion transport protein, the P-type H+-ATPase. We also have preliminary data from the heart that water exchange correlates with Na+,K+-ATPase activity. Na+,K+-ATPase is present in almost all mammalian cells. This discovery was made using MR relaxography (MRR) with steady-state extracellular relaxation reagent (RRe) to distinguish intra- and extracellular water signals by their longitudinal time constant (T1) values (1H2O T1 MRR/RRe). Two-site exchange analysis determines trans-membrane water exchange kinetics in terms of the mean intracellular water lifetime (?i) and intra- and extracellular water fractions (Vi and Ve). The inverse ?i (?i-1) is the first order rate constant for water efflux. Our results show that ?i-1 or water cycling reveals membrane protein mediated activities. The long-term objective of this application is to develop 1H2O T1 MRR measured water exchange as a high-resolution molecular imaging method for metabolic transport activity. First, we pursue the basic science to reveal the causal mechanisms that link water exchange kinetics and membrane transport activity. The model system will be the isolated perfused heart with steady-state RRe concentration ([RRe]). These RRe are contrast agents currently used in human MRI studies. Imaging versions of 1H2O T1 MRR measurements with steady-state [RRe] will be implemented and used as gold standard measures of ?i-1, Vi and Ve to establish the accuracy/precision of the same parameters obtained from bolus [RRe] Dynamic-Contrast-Enhanced -MRI (non-steady state [RRe]) measurements, which are already in use. Finally, we will measure and compare ?i-1 and Vi with steady state and bolus [RRe] in the in vivo rat heart. This project will begin to elucidate the factors affecting ?i-1 magnitude and assess its potential use as a novel cellular metabolic transport activity 1H MRI biomarker. This biomarker would benefit from the high signal and spatial resolution of 1H MRI, thus allowing high resolution functional imaging. Existing shutter-speed DCE-MRI studies have reported anatomically accurate parametric ?i maps of human osteosarcoma/skeletal muscle and malignant breast tumors. Other patho-physiological states, e.g., ischemia, heart failure and acute renal failure may also have altered ?i-1. For example, acute renal failure involves loss of renal transport activity (and likely, water fluxes). Potentially our method will define the severity of metabolic damage, which will likely correlate with prognosis.
New magnetic resonance methods are being developed to non-invasively determine the state of cellular metabolism of the heart and other tissues. These methods may allow the measurement of viable heart tissue of patients suffering from coronary artery disease and heart failure. This information may be prognostic and guide therapy aimed at saving the heart muscle.

ERIE, Pa. - For bass anglers with hi-tech sonar electronics
who are doing nothing more than turning the power on, the first Pro Web Live
(PWL) online seminar deserves serious consideration for a ticket purchase.
Bassmaster Elite Series pro Ott DeFoe's "Electronics for Dummies (And Not So Dummies") scheduled for Tuesday night, Feb. 11, 8 - 9:30 p.m. EST, provides an in-depth, but simple approach to setting and reading today's advanced electronics to find and catch more bass.
Making the presentation even sweeter is the fact that the audience is not only getting into the home of DeFoe for the seminar, but also his head. The unique virtual experience allows viewers the opportunity to engage the angler in Q&A exchanges for up to an hour at the end of the 90-minute live feed from his home in Knoxville, Tenn.
DeFoe was the 2011 Bassmaster Elite Series Rookie of the Year and post-season All Star Championship winner. In his short pro career to date, he has already had 15 top-10 finishes and earned more than $500,000 in tournament winnings.
"In my mind, this is a one-on-one presentation between me and you," DeFoe said. "You're in my house, and I'm telling you exactly what I do every time I get on the water. And since you're watching from your home or any comfortable setting, you can be snowed in or in the middle of dinner and still get the full benefit of the presentation, with a front row seat."
DeFoe's presentation specifically addresses how to use his Humminbird models 999 and 1199, using actual screen shots from his units to show settings and describe views, but says the lessons will be beneficial to users of any advanced sonar equipment.
His presentation includes Side Imaging, Down Imaging, new 360 Imaging, GPS and standard 2-D sonar. He'll talk about which settings to tweak for what conditions, as well as which ones he always leaves off.
"When I started out, I was strictly a shallow water fisherman. The changes in electronics and my confidence in using them have made me a better all around angler, shallow and deep. I'll guarantee you I can cut your learning curve and broaden your fish-catching skills with what I'm going to share in my presentation. Get your buddies together and join us," DeFoe added.
PWL is a new series of online seminars taught by numerous top professional anglers, including Jason Christie, Dave LeFebre and Shaw Grigsby, who provide the next three presentations.
Each seminar requires a ticket purchase for a cost of $49.99 per computer. "Seating" is limited, so when all seats are taken the show is full. A minimum of 50 door prizes will be awarded by drawing at each show. The top prize for the DeFoe seminar is a MinnKota trolling motor.

Help families eat better food. Donate to support double value incentive programs at the Community Farmers Market!
What is Link Match? The CCFM matches the value of SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) purchases made at the farmers market with Link Match coupons to spend on locally grown fruits and vegetables.
The Link Match program was formerly known as Double Value Coupons.
How does it work? Shoppers can use their LINK cards to receive wooden tokens at the Market Information table. Customers will receive an additional $1 in Link Match coupons for every $1 they take out of their LINK, up to $20 each week. For example, when a shopper takes out $10 on their LINK card, they would receive an additional $10 in Link Match coupons to spend on fresh fruits and vegetables at the market.
Who funds this program? The program is paid for through a combination of market sponsorships from businesses and organizations, small grants, and donations from community members. SIH Community Benefits, Jackson County Plan4Health, and LINK Up Illinois, have all helped sponsor double value incentives at the Community Farmers Market.
Where can I use my Link Match coupons?
Link Match coupons can be used at the Winter Community Farmers Markets on Saturdays in Carbondale, IL.
How long are tokens and coupons valid?
SNAP tokens and Link Match Coupons can be used throughout the 2019-20 season. The last market of the season is March 28, 2020.
What can I buy with my Link Match coupons?
Link Match coupons can only be used to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables. SNAP tokens can be used to purchase any eligible food item such as bread, eggs, or meat.
