My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for two years. This past year I was diagnosed with tubal infertility, either blocked or spasming fallopian tubes. The doctor said I had less than a 10% chance of getting pregnant naturally and referred me to a fertility doctor. It was too expensive to get IVF. The same month I had the HSG test I also fell pregnant, but unfortunately miscarried. After months of trying again I figured my tubes had closed back up. I was doing research online when I stumbled across your website and on a whim I purchased your FallopianWise Kit and only used it for one month and I am now pregnant. Though at first I had been skeptical, I am now sure your FallopianWise Kit helped to unblock my tubes. Thank you so very much!

HAGERSTOWN -- Her house burned last Valentine's Day.
Since then, Eunice McCaw has been staying with her daughter and working out the details of repairs with her insurance company. She hopes to move back into her home of more than 45 years before Christmas.
Meanwhile, she is doing what she can to prepare for the move, purchasing replacement items as she is able.
"I lost a lot of stuff," said McCaw, 78.
Just down the street from her boarded-up home is a new home improvement store that could make replacing that stuff a lot more affordable.
Habitat for Humanity of Washington County on Saturday celebrated the grand opening of ReStore on Charles Street. ReStore accepts donations of new or used building materials, furniture and appliances, and resells them to the public at a substantially reduced cost. The store opened six weeks ago, training volunteers before its grand opening.

Measurement Laboratory - Air Volume Measurements – CO2 Gas Coolers
Since spring, Güntner has had another measuring system at its location in ürstenfeldbruck. What makes it so special is that it does not only measure the volume of CO2 and NH3 – it will also be possible to perform capacity and air volume measurements. And, in addition to this, the system will soon allow to carry out sound measurements.
Capacity measurements for CO2 and NH3
The chamber design is based closely on the requirements of EN 327/328 and provides us with reliable capacity measurements for a wide range of thermal boundary conditions. The design of the measuring system also allows to perform frosting and defrosting tests. All these measurements will be carried out mainly on CO2 gas coolers and condensers as well as CO2 and NH3 evaporators.
Air volume measurements as of 2018
This year, capacity measurements will have priority at the new laboratory. At the beginning of next year (2018), the details on the design and dimensioning of the air-measuring section will be determined. For air measurements, the test item is connected, via an opening of 2 x 2 m at the ceiling, to a duct system installed above the chamber. The maximum air volume can reach a maximum of 30,000 m³/h. From 2018 onwards, it will be possible to also measure the sound.
Measurements in preparation for Eurovent certification of CO2
The measurements on the CO2 units are carried out also in preparation for the extension of the Eurovent certification to these units. Independent laboratories capable of performing the appropriate measurements have been lacking to date. Such a laboratory is currently being established at TÜV Süd. CO2 gas coolers and CO2 direct evaporators as group of units are intended to be certified soon within the framework of the next Eurovent extension.

When IBM introduced the notion of "shared queues" in WebSphere MQ....this allowed organizations the ability for a more fault tolerant, continuously available environment. Along with this, is the ability to have shared channels. In this post, I will be going over the set-up of using shared "sender" as well as shared "receiver" channels.
Shared Sender Channels:
In order to have a shared sender channel.....there are three/four items that need to be set-up.
1. Define a transmission queue (XMITQ) that is shared within the QSG (Queue Sharing Group).
2. Define a Group/Copy remote queue that uses the shared transmission queue defined in step 1.
3. Define a Group/Copy Sender channel using the shared transmission queue defined in step 1.
Optional: (For triggering)
4. In the transmission queue definition, set trigger type to "F"irst, trigger set to "Y". In the
Initiation Queue name put SYSTEM.CHANNEL.INITQ and finally put the channel name in
the Trigger Data.
Now, when a message arrives on the transmission queue, this channel will start on any queue manager in the QSG that has a channel initiator running. Message sequence numbers will be tracked and stored on the SYSTEM.QSG.CHANNEL.SYNCQ...which is a shared queue in the QSG.
For sender channels....that is all that is needed to make them "shared".
Shared Receiver Channels:
Shared receiver channels will require a little more set-up, as we will need a separate listener started with a Inbound Disposition, INDISP set to GROUP. This listener will need to be listening on a separate port than the listener task started with the INDISP of QMGR...the normal listener task for each queue manager.
So in your CHINIT task PROC, for the CSQINPX input dataset, you will have two start listener commands. One for the QMGR and one for the GROUP.
Now, since each queue manager in the QSG will be listening on a different IP address, you will need to set-up a group IP (DVIPA) in Communications Server to be used by Sysplex Distributor, and have this group IP spray the connections across the channel initiators listening on the GROUP port.
Sample Set-up: (These are all fictitious IP addresses)
255.255.255.0 220.127.116.11
In the sample above, we have a DVIPA (Dynamic VIPA) address of 18.104.22.168 created...and we have selected to have the connections coming on a 22.214.171.124 port 1415 distributed based on WLM rules to the four IP addresses listed after the DESTIP tag. These four IP's are where the GROUP listener for each queue managers channel initiator are listening on port 1415.
For more specifics on the DVIPA options you can use, see the IBM Information Center.
When in incoming connection for a shared receiver channel comes in, it will get distributed to the least used channel initiator, and since we have a shared channel, the SYNCQ used for message sequence number tracking will be SYSTEM.QSG.CHANNEL.SYNCQ. This SYNCQ is also a shared queue and can be seen by all queue managers in the QSG.
That is all there is to setting up shared sender and receiver channels.
Happy messaging!!!

Importance Of Training For Hazardous Materials
There are some materials which pose threat not just to humans but to our surroundings as well. This can take place in the event that it is improperly handled and that is practically the reason why there are hazardous materials training. For this reason, there are special measures that are applied in an effort to avoid hazards while transporting these products. Believe it or not, slightest mistake is more than enough to lead in horrible and terrifying situations.
Thus, hazmat training is more of a necessity for especially for those who're constantly involved in transporting these dangerous materials. The
title 22 training training
is actually arranged in order to educate employees and improve their level of efficiency.
What made chasm between life and death is formal training. Being informed and acquainted with estimate risks of using protective materials can provide employees with safety belt against possibility of shipping hazmat goods. Training for hazardous materials is intentionally designed to enrich one's knowledge with the right focus on involved risks and at the same time, on how it can be averted.
Hazmat training may be categorized in different levels which depend on the kind of operation as well as urgent response. Basic
hazardous materials training
all starts with first responder operation which is integral for every employee working for the government. Having good amount of knowledge on how to respond to emergencies can save both physical properties and of course, human lives. These trained individuals always play a defensive role. They are taking the required initiative in an effort to recognize the possibility of unpleasant events as a result of inefficient handling of goods and striving hard to save civilians from imminent troubles.
Hazmat training is toning up the employee's competence so by that, they can diagnose mishaps properly and at the same time, take the right steps in preventing harmful effects to spread. Dangers of incorrect handling of hazmat can inflict negative impact on the surrounding and thus, it is onerous task of any trained individual to keep perils at bare minimum. To understand more about safety data sheets, visit
Another level of hazmat training is for those who wish to be a firefighter. This particular training is a requirement for anyone who needs to deal with chemical substances. These individuals should have thorough knowledge of chemical properties of the goods as well as thorough understanding of how they should be handled properly and in efficient fashion. Technicians should be aware of the correct and successful implementation of both termination and decontamination procedures which will be taught in hazardous materials training.

Lew Russell
Mr. Lew Russell was born in 1930, just as the Great Depression hit. He lived in Wayland with his parents and older brother and worked at Russell's, Wayland's well-known nursery. Mr. Russell recalls his boyhood of relative isolation and the simple joys of life growing up on a farm.
Hi I'm Lexi Cohen, Colleen Belinsky, Bridget Hodgdon, and we are interviewing Mr. Lew Russell on May 6th, 2008 for the Wayland high school history project.
Q: Could you please state your name?
Mr. Russell: Lewis Russell
Q: How old were you in 1929?
Mr. Russell: Well in 1929 I wasn't born yet, I was born in 1931.
Q: Where did you live during the depression years?
Mr. Russell: I lived very close to where I live right now, and that's – are you familiar with Russell gardens? – There is a house right out on route 20, its only set back about 6 feet from the pavement, and that's where I grew up.
Q: What were your parent's names and what did they do for work?
Mr. Russell: Lewis Russell, I'm Lewis Russell Junior, and Ruth Russell. Russell's is a farm so my father worked in the fields. He did have a roadside retail stand right on the edge of Russell's current front parking lot; He did have a roadside vegetable stand. My mother was primarily a homemaker, but she did work the retail also.
Q: Did you work at a farm?
Mr. Russell: It was a farm; we converted it to a garden center.
Q: How many brothers and sisters did you have?
Mr. Russell: One brother, four years older, now lives in Crasbury Common, Vermont.
Q: You mentioned your mother was a homemaker, as a homemaker, was she impacted by the depression at all?
Mr. Russell: Well, it's interesting, not as much as you would think. You know my parents they lived off the land and of course I was born after the depression started but so I don't know what it was like before the crash but there wasn't any real hardship. They lived off the land and they had their retail stand there.
Q: As a child, was there anything special that you ate? Any pre-made food?
Mr. Russell: Well, we didn't eat spam. We ate the basics, there used to be a First
Q: Did you grow and can goods back then?
Mr. Russell: Yes, my mother did a lot of canning.
Q: Did your family own a car?
Mr. Russell: Not until after the war, the war ended in 1945, so it wasn't until 1946 that we got a car and I was 15 years old. So we did not have a car.
Q: Was it pretty easy to walk from place to place?
Mr. Russell: Well, yes and you know we didn't go that far. It's comical, George Lewis is a historian here in Wayland, well he doesn't live here in Wayland anymore. He's written at least one book on the history in Wayland and he grew up here a few years older than me, he's in his 80's, and he was only around the corner less than a mile from me. But we never knew each other. I really primarily only associated with my cousin who was the next house down, where Caraways is now, and once I got into grade school, I had one very close friend, Chuck Parfin, who lived over in Cochituate on sunset road. But we didn't get around a lot. During the war my grandparents they had a car and they were three miles up the road in Sudbury and they'd come down, they'd give us a ride up to their place and that was fun.
Q: How would you compare typical clothing back then to today's?
Mr. Russell: You know, I've never been into paying that much attention to clothing and therefore I don't notice a huge amount of difference. However; I remember I guess being told to wear knickers in, I don't know, fourth or fifth grade–the pants that came down and wrapped around under your knees. And I didn't like them. I remember telling my mom I didn't like them and she acknowledged that and I guess they are going out of style. But otherwise I don't notice a great difference in clothing.
Q: Do you notice a difference in maybe what your mom wore?
Mr. Russell: Well she wore a dress, not pants. A dress.
Q: What are your earliest memories from the hard times in the 1930s?
Mr. Russell: Well, again, it did not seem like hard times to us, it really didn't. We had what we wanted. It was a simple life. We didn't have any cars, I said, until 1946. But it was no hardship, we ate well, had lots of fields to play in and enjoy. So I'd say we just didn't feel that.
Q: How did you spend your time as a kid? And what did you do for fun? Like games you played…
Mr. Russell: Oh yes, I had my little Fenway Park miniature, all set in my play yard right where we sell our white impatients now. And it was kind of elaborate it had some burlap for the screen, it used to be a screen at Fenway Park. It had a gutter with a roll down and I used stones. I forget what I had for a bat. I'd pitch it in but if I hit it into the screen why then it would go into the gutter and roll down into the dugout. And I get this marble; we used marbles as a ball. My playground was right there, right where I work nowadays. I never did have a bicycle, I think my parents were afraid of route 20 and I never did learn the bike until after I graduated from college, and now I love the bicycle. So it was on foot.
Q: Did you ever go to the circus or the carnival?
Mr. Russell: Yes, the circus would come into Boston Garden, oh maybe once a year, we'd go in. Don't think I ever went to a carnival, but I went to several circuses and my parents would take me into Boston to the movies and playhouse and Red Sox baseball games, a few. I think a good grandstand seat cost 2.50, real good seats. They cost a little more now.
Q: Who was your favorite player on the red sox?
Mr. Russell: Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Johnny Pesky is still around. I think he's still with the Red Sox; he's in his 80's. Dominic Dimaggio and then for the Boston Braves; Warren Spahn, and Johnny Sain, and there was a joke about the braves it was a little song that went…
"First we'll pitch Spahn
Because they had these two star pitchers and not much else. But back in 1948, the Red Sox had just about an all star line up, I remember a whole bunch of stars, everybody was batting over 300 and they did not win. The Boston Braves had a much more average talent team, and they won. And I was so impressed at the teamwork of the Boston Braves and I became a Boston Braves fan, course they moved away, they're gone but the dilemma was that Braves field, BU now owns it but there was no aesthetic beauty whatsoever the Brave's field. Fenway park, I consider to be a classic, with a footnote, I think a lot of the advertising on the walls has spoiled it but I go back to Fenway park before they put all the beer ads and all the other ads on the walls and I think Fenway park and Wrigley field in Chicago are two classic architecturally pleasing parks. I've digressed from your answer a little.
Q: Did you ever see movies? What were the movies like? Or radio shows?
Mr. Russell: I was quite young when my mother took me to see Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs in Boston. Oh and I got scared of that witch, I panicked. And I remember a year or two later, going to the movies was a big thing you would take the bus into Boston and you would probably go out to dinner and to a movie. And I remember being in there I guess about a year later and you know you could go one way to one show and one to the other. And my mother stepped over towards snow white and I had seen it and panicked before and then panicked again. My mother said know don't worry were not going here," I'd forgotten what the other one was that we went to instead but we liked it!
Q: What kind of music did you enjoy?
Mr. Russell: Oh music, Guy Lombardo. I don't know if many of you knew–before your day. I'm trying to think whom else, well it was radio when I was a little kid and " I'm dreaming of a white Christmas and your hit parade. And I remember Dreaming of a White Christmas" was number one for about 35 weeks in a row, some of those hit tunes.
Q: Were there any sports around Wayland that were popular?
Mr. Russell: Sports? I tried out for baseball and basketball. Wayland only had three then: football, baseball, and basketball. They only had the three and I couldn't make the team. I had been skipped ahead a grade. I did the first and second grade all in one year and my parents made the judgment that I could get the grades, and that's true, I could. But I guess they missed was that socially I couldn't catch up. And I was literally scared and afraid when I got on the baseball field and the basketball court. So I didn't do well in those sports but at home I could play ball.
Q: Many say that in those days most kids had heroes, did you have a hero? And who was he or she?
Mr. Russell: A hero, well, of course I named you a few sports heroes. I'm trying to think if I had any others. I can't immediately.
Q: On an average day what did you do? And did you have any adventures?
Mr. Russell: Probably not enough new adventures, When I was real young we didn't go away very often and I mentioned into Fenway park for the ball game, and into Boston for the movies and about once a year for the circus. But that was a big event but otherwise I was primarily playing in my yard or working the fields.
Q: What was community life like in Wayland?
Mr. Russell: We pretty much were to ourselves. I really didn't know, I shouldn't say I didn't know the people who lived down in the center in Wayland, I knew them in school, but I didn't see them out of school. We just really were by ourselves. There was another farm, you know where the old Raytheon property is which is going to be a town center, where there was a big hill there and just over the other side of the hill was another farm, the Decatur Farm and you know I don't know if I ever met Joe Decatur and it was just over the other side of the hill. We just didn't get around much.
Q: What was school like?
Mr. Russell: My High School was the town building and it was easy for me, not socially, but getting the grades was easy for me. I don't think we really got challenged the way you do today for one thing I never learned how to write even one page until I got into my freshman year of college and that was a shocker. And also with one exception I never stood up before the class I remember once it was required to stand up in front of the class and describe some event. I remember I got up shaking like a leaf and my brother had played football the weekend before and he broke his neck. He was lucky, very lucky, it's the kind of injury that could kill you but it didn't. And I remember getting up and that was my story and then feeling inwardly guilty because relying on the misfortune of my brother but I couldn't think of anything else to say. But my brother came out of it fine.
Q: What chores or responsibilities did you have growing up? And were they impacted by the depression?
Mr. Russell: Working in the gardens working at the retail and again as I told you. I would really say no, not impacted by the Depression.
Q: Do you recall your first job that you got paid for?
Mr. Russell: I only went out and got a job once, it was after college and after I'd been in the army, and I worked for a wholesale florist for five months. After two months I realized I was only doing it for the experience, I expected to go back to Russell's. I realized after two months this was a waste of time, but it took me another three months to get up the never to say, "Hey Verny, I have to go back to Russell's. I'll give you two weeks notice I've got to leave."
Q: What did you do with the money you got paid with?
Mr. Russell: When I first started, when I went to bed at night, I might find twenty cents on the counter because my father knew I had been out, and I was only about nine years old, and my father felt I had done twenty cents worth of work. I do remember also working for twenty cents an hour with my friend Chuck; I think I was nine years old. It was twenty cents an hour, and twenty-five cents on Sundays. And then for nine years each year it went up five cents. But still after nine years, and we were teenagers it was about 75 cents an hour.
Q: Were members of your family affected by the Great Depression?
Mr. Russell: No, really not.
Q: Do you have any recollection of people in town in tough circumstances at this time?
Mr. Russell: The interesting thing is, certainly when I was young no, and I was in the army for three years, and it was so different then. It was peacetime and I was over in the Philippines, it was peacetime and I never saw any fighting, or any hardship. What I did see because it was in the Philippines, I saw bombed out sections and rusting ships in the harbor. I saw the damage of WWII, or course this was six- seven years later.
Q: Was your faith strong? Was religion a big part of your life?
Mr. Russell: Well I don't know if I'd call it strong. haha. My parents were members of the Congregational Church; they didn't attend maybe once or twice a year. And to be honest I, I went to Sunday school there, and I did not relate. I became churchless. I remember when I was in the army over in the Philippines I was with a rather evangelistic group. I knew right away I didn't really agree with them at all, but I thought what the heck I'm over here I'm with the army I'll go to some meetings and stuff with them. And I remember one for my friends there warning me about Adlay Stevenson who ran against Dwight Eisenhower for president. And I said, "What's wrong?" And he said, "Well he's a divorced man, he's a Unitarian." And I said "Oh, what's a Unitarian?" He said, "Oh they don't believe in anything." And I thought you know what there's a Unitarian church in my hometown, but I've never stepped into it. And I was still to shy to tell him, but he immediately tweaked my interests. I resolved as soon as I got back, to go into that Unitarian Church, and find out what it stood for. And that is my religion now. haha. I consider my self a Universalist.
Q: How do you recall FDR?
Mr. Russell: Oh yea I'm going to love these, I love these. Back then, in the thirties, well I'll tell ya, almost without exception every English Protestant was Republican, and we were Protestants. And every Irish or Italian Catholic was a Democrat. And I don't think there was an exception; we didn't have hardly any Jewish. And the funny thing is we didn't feel bias about it, that's just the way it was. So my parents, they didn't like him, with his WPA projects, and the people lean on the shovels. And we have a railroad crossing just beyond us here and there was an experimental barrier, a WPA barrier project to stop the traffic from trains crossing. And I remember once it malfunctioned and the car got trapped in the wrong side of the barrier, but fortunately not on the tracks. And I remember my parents saying, " Aw that damn Roosevelt and his barriers, its lucky he didn't kill the people." [ Laughs]. Now the interesting thing is I came later to admire him.
Q: Do you remember Eleanor Roosevelt? And if so, what did you think?
Mr. Russell: Yes, what was it like…my first memory I was only about six years old six or seven, in the thirties it was more colored by my parents thy were life long republicans and they thought she was probably overstepping her boundaries, getting into politics where a lady really didn't belong, probably should mind her own business. I think I told you last week that when I was a kid almost every (I think without exception) all English protestant were republican and all Irish or Italian Catholics were democrat. There seemed to be no exception to that and we didn't feel bias about it, its just the way it was…I definitely came to admire Eleanor Roosevelt. I thought she was a wonderful person really cared and I was really impressed.
Q: Did you recall ever seeing a Hooverville or a group of homeless people?
Mr. Russell: Not really, no. It was a farm, we lived off the land and there really wasn't any significant hardship during the depression and we didn't travel much. So, no we didn't.
Q: Do you remember any of FDR's plans to help end the depression?
Mr. Russell: Absolutely. I do and again at first my views were colored by my parents; "that damn Roosevelt he's got his work projects." They were putting in a sidewalk, the WPA they just wanted to lean on their shovels "They're not working that hard and then we had an experimental barrier out here at the railroad crossing and it was I think one of the WPA projects and I remember that barrier malfunctioned once and it trapped a car on the wrong side, but fortunately not on the tracks. So it wasn't a serious accident and I remember my father saying. "that damn Roosevelt and his barrier, he's lucky he didn't kill the people." Again, I later on I came to very much like Franklin Roosevelt; I think he was one of our best presidents.
Q: Did your parents think that FDR's new deal was a good program?
Mr. Russell: I guess I already answered that, no they did not. My parents were republicans and Roosevelt was a democrat. Roosevelt tried to change Thanksgiving. It use to come on the last Thursday of November, it could come as late as the 29th or 30 of November and he tried to move it a week earlier. My parents and a lot of other small business people who were almost all republican they didn't realize it was really doing it for them, it was helpful for business because we had a Christmas business year and a late Thanksgiving made it difficult to get shifted over and they should have been for it but they weren't. That damn Roosevelt trying to change our traditions and we wound up with a compromise. We made it the fourth Thursday in the month so at least we eliminated November 29th and 30th, helped a little bit.
Q: Were any of your family or friends part of the New Deal program?
Mr. Russell: No.
Q: Do you remember any of the great construction projects of the period? The Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, Hoover Dam?
Mr. Russell: Well, kind of vaguely. I knew bout them as I said we didn't travel so I never got to any of those places and I wasn't really that conscious of them but we did follow the news and yes I did know about them.
Q: One event during the 1930's was the New York 1938 World's Fair, which was titled the World of Tomorrow, how do you remember this famous fair?
Mr. Russell: Well I don't. I was 8 years old at the time, however my wife, who lived in New Jersey then, she got to go to the world fair and she was very impressed and surprised. They actually predicted the super highway programs, which we now have come to get use to very much.
Q: While the country was in the depression, do you recall learning about Hitler's rise in Germany or the Japanese military advances in Asia?
Mr. Russell: Definitely. Hitler's rise in Germany, not so much the Japanese advancements, but I do remember the news. Hitler came to power when I was about 2 years old, and I wouldn't remember that, but I do remember before the war broke out the really concern about Hitler and his aggressive practices and also the war broke out in
Q: Do you think we are still affected at all by the Great Depression?
Mr. Russell: Yes, and back in the 50's and 60's I thought we were getting well beyond it and I thought we had learned our lesson about the Great Depression and it would probably never happen again and we probably would not be affected much more, but starting with the JFK assassination and about the same time… well no, a little later was the Martin Luther King Jr. assassination and Bob Kennedy assassination and I think which we thought was getting good turned bad and very bad. I had become very much an admirer of John F. Kennedy and I really thought we were headed towards peace and we're not going to into the Vietnam War and I don't think we were going to… that's hard to prove because Kennedy was killed at the wrong time, but with those three assassinations things turned bad. We went to war in Vietnam and awful lot of the fabric and the country came apart and in a way went back to the depression, granted it was a different kind of depression and it was a little more…[inaudible]…rich sailed along fine, but in many ways we went back to depression again, I feel.
Q: As you see it, how are kids different today than in your childhood era?
Mr. Russell: Well yes, there is certainly more diversions…granted back then I was a shy farm boy. I lived right here, I worked in the fields right out in the same location where my garden center is now. My play yard was right here in the same yard where we have the white impatiens for sale so I was really a shy farm boy and there was another farm across the street where the Raytheon property used to be where we are going to get a new town center, I'm pretty sure we are going to. There use to be a big hill over there about 100 ft high and on the other side of the hill was another farm, the Decatur Farm, and I don't think I ever met Joe Decatur. There's another good historian in Wayland George Lewis, he doesn't in Wayland anymore; he's moved I think to Bedford he lived a little bit… he's in his 80s he lived in the center of Wayland only about a half mile from here but we didn't know each other so we were kind of isolated the kids now a days, you know, get around you see each other more and also I see a bigger diversions I have been kind of depressed it seemed to me that lot of the young people, and not just the young people, some of the older people also, just don't care as much about what's happening in the world as they should and as I think we did. We didn't have as much news, but we did care. However I look at this list of questions and I'm very impressed. You folks do care and that makes me feel very good.
Q: We've been learning about how bad the economy is doing these days, oil prices are at record levels, food prices are way up, inflation is up, unemployment is up, work costs are up to a trillion dollars, and our national debt is over seven trillion dollars, what are the lessons from the great depression that we should learn today?
Mr. Russell: Well these are serious problems and as I said before I felt in the '50's and '60's that we had learned from the Great Depression, but we seem to be back in a different kind of depression now and all of these things we should be doing much better then we are. We are too dependent on oil this idea of a tax holiday on oil on gasoline for this summer is disgraceful. We subsidize oil. Technically our taxes do not pay the true cost of gasoline and oil; they don't pay for the damage that is being done to our environment. We had much better gasoline standards under Jimmy Carter in the '70's then we have now then we went back to the SUV's and the lower gas mileage and that pollutes and it wastes oil and it's a huge mistake. Food prices, there's a crisis occurring right now and much of the poor world they are right on the edge of starvation because the price of many of the basics; rice, wheat etc. have almost doubled in less than a year and again the gap between the rich and the poor, too many of the rich not really caring, consuming and not caring is a major factor in this and using food for ethanol to keep us on our gas habit, which is like a drug habit, I feel will make it worse. We certainly could do better; inflation some of it is inevitable but some of it shouldn't happen, again the food, diverting some of the food to wasteful gasoline usage, that causes painful inflation. Unemployment… well I believe in free trade but I believe in decent free trade and the kind of free trade like NAFTA that we have now. The big conglomerate corporations can manipulate too much and they can transfer jobs from here to really slave like conditions around the world; some of them are even… there's a US territory in the Pacific I forget the name of the islands but they don't even have the minimum wage laws, and they say Made in the US but their slave labor there really is no excuse for this. The war costs, close to a trillion dollars, I put it higher. I think the true cost of this Iraq war, and that's not the only war, is going to be way over a trillion dollars. It isn't just the direct expenses, it's what it does to people…to a lot of the soldiers who come back with various injuries; mental and physical etc. and what it's done to our whole economy. It's a totally inexcusable war and I feel its totally disgraceful war on our part. It's well over a trillion dollars and obviously this is a major factor in our national debt. We have a government now that is too focused on war. War on terror that amounts to giving into the terrorists. One of the aims of the terrorists is to put us at war. They know war, they are suicidal themselves, they are radical, they are belligerent and one of their goals is to put us at war and Mr. Bush's statement that we are at war until we eliminate terrorism, we will never allow it and he's allowing the terrorists to put us at war, by his standards forever, and there is absolutely no excuse for this. Look at some of the best police forces, some in the cities and towns in this country, that do it the best and if they get some real bad crime in their city or town, they don't put the whole city at war, they do go after the criminals. But we need to focus on helping people, not killing people. We've gone wrong. Have we learned these lessons? Too many have not. I'm kind of hopeful. I am hopeful we are ready to make a turn, to turn towards peace. I think I already told you I am an Obama supporter and I have some friends who call me a Pinko home liberal or a leftist. And my message to them is that I was an Eisenhower Republican and many of you remember Dwight Eisenhower, he was president from 1952 to 1960, 8 years. He was a war hero before that, World War II, and he started out maybe on the hawkish side but he evolved into a man of peace and before he ended his term in his office as president. He warned us to beware of the military industrial establishment if you don't look out it will own us. Well it does. And I think there is a way to break out of it. But military industrial establishment has got way too much power… I wish I could call up Dwight in heaven, and say Dwight who should I vote for. And good Republican that he was, I think he would say well none of those Republican candidates and not Hilary. They are the military industrial establishment, they're excluded. And I think he would name three democrats; Obama, Richardson, and Edwards who would fit his standards and they would fit my standards as well. Now I'm very much an Obama supporter. Now that was a liberal Republican and but there is no room in the Republican party of today for that philosophy.

The New York Yankees of the '50s and the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Cowboys of the '90s have one crucial element in common: consistent excellence in their organizations and performance. That's a rare accomplishment, but if you think it could never occur in your portfolio, think again. Carefully chosen dividend-paying stocks could be your key to superstar returns.
Build the next investing dynasty
These long-haul outperformers can help you build your fortune, as studies from investing gurus such as Jeremy Siegel have shown time and time again. Finding them is our Motley Fool Income Investor service's mission.
Identify new talent
With the help of Motley Fool CAPS, we'll search for the best dividend-paying stocks around. Here are several dividend picks that have also earned high ratings from our 160,000-member CAPS community:
CAPS Rating
Constellation Energy Group
Kinder Morgan Energy Partners
Source: Capital IQ (a division of Standard & Poor's), Yahoo! Finance, and CAPS as of April 8.
Let's take a closer look at how these dividend payers stack up.
Does my dividend have a glass jaw?
The last thing we want in a dividend-paying company is the risk that the company will fall off a cliff and have to pull back its dividend. This usually ends up being a double whammy because not only do you lose your dividend payout, but many of the dividend-loving investors who own the stock will run for the hills, causing the stock price to fall.
With that in mind, there are three places that I immediately tune into when kicking the tires of a dividend payer -- dividend history, financial statements, and business stability.
When it comes to dividend history, both Nucor and Kinder Morgan Energy Partners have stellar records. Over more than a decade, both companies have shown a commitment not only to paying their shareholders, but consistently increasing that payout. Of course, when it comes to a rock-solid dividend history, it's hard for anyone to top Altria.
On the flip side, Constellation's record is fairly lackluster and includes a hefty dividend cut just last year.
Nothing jumps out as overly worrisome about the financial statements of any of these companies. Both Altria and Nucor produce cash flow well above the amount they spend on capital spending, leaving plenty left over to return to shareholders. And while Constellation spends goodly amounts of its cash on capital improvements -- which is typical of an electric utility -- the company has a surprisingly light debt load.
Nucor is the company that will likely provide investors with the biggest swings in the future. While it's a mighty fine company, the steel industry is very cyclical, so Nucor's results are bound to soar and dive along with the economy's squiggles. And while utilities are typically pretty dependable, Constellation hasn't exactly given investors a good reason to expect dependability, with its income bouncing around in the past few years.
The rest of the group are very stable businesses. Even Hasbro, which investors might expect would be fairly cyclical, has proven through this last recession that fun and games have a place even during economic downturns.
Going the distance
While it's hard to go against Altria when it comes to dividends, I'm going to shake things up and make Nucor my top pick of this group. Nucor is a solid business with a very good dividend history and great financials. And it certainly doesn't hurt that the economy appears to be heading into an upswing.
CAPS All-Star latimerburned gave Nucor's stock a thumbs-up last month and said:
Great firm that is effeciently run with a fantastic CEO. Poised to benefit from the growth in infrastructure, stimulus and steel prices. Decent dividend that keeps going up and if they have a great year they pay an extra dividend which I expect to see again.
Get into the action

Dividend stocks could help you transform your portfolio from the flash-in-the-pan Florida Marlins into the dependable New York Yankees. And if you hate the Yankees, it's probably because they're so darn good, so darn often.

At The Motley Fool, we poke plenty of fun at Wall Street analysts and their endless cycle of upgrades, downgrades, and "initiating coverage at neutral." So, you might think we'd be the last people to give virtual ink to such "news." And we would be -- if that were all we were doing.
But in "This Just In," we don't simply tell you what the analysts said. We'll also show you whether they know what they're talking about. To help, we've enlisted Motley Fool CAPS, our tool for rating stocks and analysts alike. With CAPS, we'll be tracking the long-term performance of Wall Street's best and brightest -- and its worst and sorriest, too.
And speaking of the best …
New York investment banker Soleil Securities started off the trading week with a pair of downgrades this morning. Soleil pulled its recommendations on the twin titans of potash, PotashCorp
Citing "growers' concerns over a price-cost squeeze," Soleil slashed its earnings estimates for Potash in both the short and medium terms, dropping both fiscal 2009 and '10 estimates by about 20%. Mosaic took a similar hit -- but more delayed. The analyst thinks the fertilizer maker will earn about $4.87 this year (within spitting distance of earlier estimates). Next year, however, is a different matter. Soleil predicts Mosaic will earn only $6.17 in profits -- fully one-third less than previously posited.
And yet, I cannot help but notice that -- even if Soleil is right about its new numbers -- they would make for a 27% bump in profits at Mosaic in 2010, and a 20% hike for Potash. Considering how many other companies are seeing their profits shrink these days, does it make sense to be downgrading a pair of double-digit performers, just because those digits aren't quite as big as Soleil used to think?
Let's go to the tape
Perhaps. After all, Soleil's not actually saying you should sell either stock -- just not buy more, and hang on to what you have. And judging from the firm's record on past agriculture plays (both upstream and down), I suspect you should take this advice to heart:
Soleil Says
CAPS Says
Soleil's Pick Beating S&P By
4 points
6 points
General Mills
14 points
55 points
Now, nobody's perfect, and Soleil has certainly made its share of bad calls over the years. It's just that, generally speaking, this banker tends to do its bungling in sectors other than ag:
Soleil Says
CAPS Says
Soleil's Pick Lagging S&P By
21 points
U.S. Steel
33 points
And overall, Soleil does what it does pretty well, guessing right on its stock picks only about half the time -- but doing so well when it guesses right that the average Soleil stock tip outperforms the S&P 500 by better than two percentage points.
Will today's recommendations do the same?
Buy the numbers
Since Soleil's advising investors to hold the stock, rather than out-and-out selling it, will this strategy help Soleil hold onto its gains? I think so.
You see, both of these stocks have run up so fast -- in terms of their profitability and their stock prices -- that at this point, there's precious room for further growth at either Potash or Mosaic. Sure, analysts expect to see profits grow in the short term, but consensus estimates for both companies currently call for just 3.5% profit growth over the next five years.
Since neither firm can be considered a growth story any longer, when evaluating the stocks today, I'm looking instead at how they might stack up if "run for cash." Here's how the numbers break down:
- Potash and Mosaic both produce comparable levels of cash: $1.8 billion in trailing free cash flow for Potash, $1.9 billion for Mosaic.
- However, the price you pay to own a piece of these profits streams differs greatly. Potash's enterprise value rings up at 16 times its annual free cash flow. Mosaic, on the other hand, can be had for a mere multiple of 10.
- Moreover, Potash is much more heavily leveraged than Mosaic. Whereas Mosaic has twice as much cash as debt on its balance sheets, Potash has more than 11 times as much debt as cash to its name -- about $2.8 billion in net debt (i.e., after you net out its cash).
- Finally, each stock pays a small dividend -- hardly worth mentioning, but at 0.5% for Potash, and 0.4% for Mosaic, it's at least a little walking-around money.
Foolish takeaway
Based on the above, I think that Mosaic is now selling for a fair price -- 10 times free cash flow being my usual cutoff for defining a stock as "cheap." While I would not necessarily buy it at these levels, I don't believe the stock needs to be sold.
Potash, on the other hand, I wouldn't touch with a 10-foot pole. Between the debt load, the unjustified (in my view) premium price when compared to Mosaic, and the lack of long-term growth prospects, I'd say that now looks like a fine time to cash in some profits and wait for a better price before re-entering the stock.
Of course, that's just my opinion -- and as my record shows, I've been wrong on Potash before. If you know the company better, and want to voice a contrary opinion ... have at it! Click on over to Motley Fool CAPS now, and sound off.

I just watched One Night Stand 2006 on the Network, and I was blown away with how engaged that crowd was during the main event. Booing Cena mercilessly, throwing back his shirt, the numerous anti-Cena chants...it was all pretty incredible. Cena, to his credit, knew what he was doing and played the heel really well (he even did the little things, like putting his feet on the ropes to try to get a pinfall). Of course ECW probably wouldn't have gotten this kind of response in too many cities around the US, but I never understood how the WWE missed the opportunity to do more things to take advantage of that crowd response. Guessing this died because McMahon kept inserting WWE players into the ECW 'brand', right? Was there any other behind the scenes reason for why the WWE couldn't capitalize on this?
Mostly as you noted. They wanted a third touring brand under the WWE umbrella, but didn't want Heyman's vision of it. But really you couldn't have just toured the Philly and New York markets alone, so it was a losing proposition from the start.
Although it does kind of blow my mind that ECW the TV show got replaced by NXT the reality show, which became NXT the developmental show that we have now. So in a way it came full circle and turned into what people wanted out of the "new" ECW all along.

Making a lifestyle change: Losing a job, becoming a full time homemaker and learning to live frugally.
September 19, 2011
The Path to Frugality is two years old
I have come a long way from when I started this blog two years ago. I remember back then I fretted more over the fact that I didn't know how to set up a blog than I should have. Blogging is fun and it has become my journal of what I have gone through over the past two years.
I've been reading some of my posts from two years ago and it takes me back to a newness in my life. Back then being home was so new and fresh. I was rejoicing in my newfound freedom I had to my daily life. My schedule was my own and I could pick when I wanted to do any household project.
The first few weeks I started my day with a cup of coffee on the back porch while reading the newspaper. Then it was on to a quick shower, doing my hair and makeup and deciding what I would do that day. Reading those older posts helps me to stay grounded and on track to my goals. I have strayed over the past two years and have spent money when I shouldn't have and each time I pull myself back on track. When you fall, you get up. Making one mistake does not mean throwing in the towel and giving up on everything.
Two years later I still enjoy the freedom being at home has brought me. My schedule is still my own. I have added volunteer responsibilities to my daily schedule but I still choose when I want to do them.
I have the same concerns that I did have back then as to if I could really make it living on one income as I am by nature a spender. I've learned what pushes my "money" buttons and I've tried my hardest to stay away from temptation to spend money on frivolous things. It's hard to stay on track. But it was also hard for me to work a job and never have time to myself. It's worth the trade off.
Tomorrow I will sit on my back porch and sip a cup of coffee (Green Mountain Nantucket) and instead of the newspaper I will be reading a book on my Kindle.
Thanks to my followers and those that comment and read this blog. You have become my friends and I value your comments and critiques. I do my best to follow your blogs too. I consider all of us "family" doing what it takes to survive in this economy and helping each other along the way by giving advice and great helpful hits. Thank you my friends.

Sixties gear is back in fashion, and today, while indulging in retail therapy, I noticed the shops are full of mini dresses with crazy psychedelic swirls, geometric patterns, cut-out shapes and key holes. I spied a young girl walking down the high street in a black and white dogtooth check pinafore dress, worn over a black polo neck sweater, with zig-zaggy patterned tights and shiny black knee length boots. Her sleek bobbed hair was topped with a white crocheted peaked cap. Thinking how cute she looked, I had to blink hard to assure myself I hadn't walked into a time warp and this was really 2007 not 1967.
I resolved to buy myself a new outfit for my 60s party, thinking that by June the fashion could change, 70s maybe? I own a vintage black and white Mary Quant style 60's dress, but it's a micro-mini and I can't move in it without showing my knickers, so that's out.
I waded through endless outfits. Sadly, they didn't look quite the same on me, even though I've still got my figure, I'm no longer twenty. But with the fresh faced assistant's help I made a choice: black and white (that's all I'm saying). I haven't showed Dan yet. Whether I'll wear it or not is another matter.
I never thought I'd look forward to being sixty, but strangely I am.

NAPLES, FLORIDA | Tony Gil birdied the final hole at Naples National Golf Club to win the Terra Cotta Invitational, the biggest victory in his young career. An 18-year-old member of the Canadian National Development Squad, Gil shot 2-under-par 214 to defeat Andy Zhang by a shot.
Gil, two behind the leaders after 36 holes, found himself in a multi-player shootout in the final round. The lead was exchanged several times, but after 53 holes Gil, Zhang and Andrew McCain were deadlocked at 1-under par. Gil was in the next-to-last group, playing behind Zhang and first-round leader McCain. He pulled his drive on the par-5 18th, advanced his second back into play and then lofted a 100-yard wedge shot to 4 feet. He rolled in the putt, and then waited anxiously as the last group played the final hole. Zhang missed his birdie chance and McCain suffered a bogey, enabling Gil to prevail.
"This was my first amateur tournament, and it's a shock to win such a big event," Gil said afterward. The University of Houston commit…..READ FULL ARTICLE

Standing 277 meters above sea level, Lycabettus Hill (sometimes spelt Lykavitos) is the highest point of Athens. Although a beautiful walk up via a circular path, it will be a test of endurance and a challenge in summer.
A funicular or cliff railway can take you to the top of the hill, which proves to be a novelty for younger kids. The downside is it's a closed tunnel, so there is no view on the way up.
The view from Lycabettus Hill is best enjoyed at sunset whilst waiting for the lights of the Acropolis, Temple of Olympian Zeus, Panathenaic Stadium and Ancient Agora to come on. You will also be reminded that Athens is surrounded by sea with spectacular views across the Aegean.
At the top of the hill you will find a Greek church, an open-air amphitheatre used predominantly in the warmer months, the restaurant Orizontes with spectacular views across Athens and a cafe which opens for breakfast and lunch.
Why Athens Tip: Best before sunset.
If you decide to take a taxi, it can only take you so far up the hill. You will need to walk up a significant amount of stairs for the remainder of the way.

From the back of the book:
For 800 year the Academy has been slowly bringing the humans of Earth back from the brink of extinction to enlightenment. For the last 300, it has looked in wonder at the faint signals from the stars, knowing that humans had fled their home deep in its terrible past and may now be struggling without aid. Only now, with its powerful wormhole technology, can the Academy bring its light to the rest of the Galaxy.
This special Dreamation 2010 preview includes material about the Academy and limited rules specific to its mission of exploration.

On admission, high-sensitivity troponin T/creatine kinase-MB ratio was significantly higher in takotsubo syndrome patients compared to myocardial infarction patients.
These findings support increased CK activity as protection against ischaemia-reperfusion injury, in particular, protection via CKMT2 (show CKMT2 Antibodies) in a cardiac-relevant cell line, which merits further investigation in vivo.
Marathoners with a lower CKMM response after the race had a more favorable polygenic profile than runners with high serum CKMM concentrations. This might suggest a significant role of genetic polymorphisms in the levels of exertional muscle damage and rhabdomyolysis.
A positive association was found between PANSS-total and sCK [serum creatine kinase] in SzA [schizoaffective disorder] and BP-I; however, PANSS-positive scores correlated with sCK only in SzA. Serum CK may serve as a biomarker for affective exacerbation rather than psychosis.
These results demonstrate an association between physical performance measures and genetic variation in the muscle-specific (show EIF3K Antibodies) creatine kinase gene (rs8111989).
troponin T and creatinine kinase isoenzyme (CK-MB) have roles in combined renal and myocardial injuries in asphyxiated infants
The serum expression levels of myocardial creatine kinase and of galectin-3 (show LGALS3 Antibodies) reflect the physiopathology state of children with congenital heart defects after surgical correction.
The variant rs11559024 in the CKM gene (Glu83Gly) was significantly associated with CK levels of statin users.
Based on the obtained results, it may be speculated that the CKM A/G polymorphism is not an important determinant of endurance performance level in Polish and Russian rowers.
We conclude that ILK (show ILK Antibodies) negatively and independently of PI3K regulated MEF2C (show MEF2C Antibodies) phosphorylation activity and MCK mRNA expression in C2C12 cells
The Fxn (show FXN Antibodies) KO/Mck mice tested from one to two months of age showed abnormal gait patterns accompanied by a loss in motor skills.
PI3K and AKT (show AKT1 Antibodies) regulated skeletal muscle differentiation by regulating the expression of Myogenin (show MYOG Antibodies) and MCK.
strong down-regulation of MCK activity contributes to F-actin instability and induces post-translational modification of alphaB-crystallin (show CRYAB Antibodies) and desmin (show DES Antibodies)
These studies indicate that the age-associated oxidative and nitrative modification of CKm results in a decrease in its activity and may cause structural changes that promote oligomerization and aggregation.
one of the consequences of M-CK and AK1 (show AK1 Antibodies) deficiency is hampered phosphoryl delivery to the actomyosin ATPase (show DNAH8 Antibodies), resulting in a loss of contractile performance.
Data show that Six4 (show SIX4 Antibodies) is transcriptional regulatory element X (TrexBF (show SIX4 Antibodies)) in skeletal myocytes and transactivates the muscle creatine kinase enhancer
the expression of muscle creatine kinase (MCK) gene in the heart and skeletal muscle of mice during aging
Dec proteins repressed a MyoD (show MYOD1 Antibodies)-activated promoter activity of muscle creatine kinase gene through class A E-box in an HDAC1 (show HDAC1 Antibodies)-independent manner.
Creatine kinase (CK) and adenylate kinase (AK) are especially important in facilitating energy metabolism during very high energy demands.
These data demonstrate that initial phosphocreatine hydrolysis in single skeletal muscle fibers is crucial for maintenance of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2 (show CA2 Antibodies)+ release and peak tension during a bout of repetitive tetanic contractions.
role of linker on the isolated C-terminal domain of rabbit muscle creatine kinase
when gly(268) in rabbit muscle-specific (show EIF3K Antibodies) creatine kinase was substituted with asn(268), the rabbit muscle-specific (show EIF3K Antibodies) CK G286N mutant specific activity at pH 8.0 and 10 degrees C was more than 2-fold higher than that in the wild-type rabbit enzyme
In addition to its role in the in vivo functions, the linker also played a crucial role in the stability and folding of CKM.
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic enzyme involved in energy homeostasis and is an important serum marker for myocardial infarction. The encoded protein reversibly catalyzes the transfer of phosphate between ATP and various phosphogens such as creatine phosphate. It acts as a homodimer in striated muscle as well as in other tissues, and as a heterodimer with a similar brain isozyme in heart. The encoded protein is a member of the ATP:guanido phosphotransferase protein family.

A mum has explained the reality of what it's like to take her four-year-old daughter who has ADHD out in public.
Taylor Myers, from the US, posted a selfie of herself with tears in her eyes while her daughter, Sophie, was sat behind her in the car.
She said they were in the queue at the supermarket to pay for a food shop when her daughter started "whining over a big of crisps" she had taken away.
"She's relentless. I know this. I live with it," the mum wrote on Facebook on 27 July.
"Her ADHD and obsessive little heart gets on these subjects of things she finds unjust and wrong and it doesn't stop until she eventually falls asleep or something very dramatic happens to snatch the attention away."
Myers stood in line ignoring her daughter, refusing to give in to her.
But then she heard a woman in the line shout: "Oh, for Christ's sake, give her a cookie so she'll shut up."
Myers continued, on the Facebook post: "I could've responded in a nicer way. I could've explained to her that my four-year-old has pretty severe ADHD, I raise both my children alone, I'm doing my best, and had no choice but to wait it out for the groceries.
"Instead, I heard, 'She's four years old and you need to mind your own f***ing business' come out of my mouth."
The mum went to the self-checkout so she could avoid facing anyone else commenting on her parenting skills. She had tears rolling down her face.
"[At this point] I've lost it," she wrote. "I'm angry, my feelings are hurt, I'm offended, and I'm just freakin' sad that I can't have one good experience in a store with my children.
"As I scan my things, a woman walks up and begins to talk to Sophie. She asks her questions to distract her, and backs me up when Sophie begins to go on about wanting the crisps.
"Honestly, this woman could've been the antichrist and I would've had more appreciation for her kindness and compassion than I have for anyone else I've ever encountered.
"It only takes one comment to break someone down. You never know what someone's going through. Mamas have to stick together."
Myers post has been shared by more than 140,000 people and had more than 500,000 likes. It has resonated with parents who have children with ADHD and autism.
"Don't let it get you down," one mother wrote. "It happened to me. Last year I went off on a bitch. You're a great mum and it's ok she's like that."
Another wrote: "Oh I've been there. Don't let her get you down. You are doing an amazing job - us mums need to stick together."

Pieters scores winning point as Europe defend EurAsia Cup
Europe dominated in Malaysia on Sunday as the defending champions successfully retained their EurAsia Cup crown.
Belgian golfer Thomas Pieters scored the winning point to inspire a 14-10 victory for Europe in the third edition of the biennial tournament.
Asia held a one-point lead heading into the third and final day at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club but the visiting Europeans - who needed seven points to win - won eight of the first nine matches.
Europe regained the lead thanks to Pieters' seven-foot putt before the 25-year-old won the next hole to guarantee the trophy stayed in European hands.
Team Europe get their hands on the trophy #EurAsiaCup#TeamEuropepic.twitter.com/IjjUYdMGTq-- The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) January 14, 2018
The final hole against An Byeong-hun was halved in fours as Pieters - who finished tied for fourth at the Masters last year - celebrated in Kuala Lumpur.
"It's always nice to get the winning point. I got off to a good start, then played pretty poorly during the middle, then made a couple of very good birdies," he said.
Alex Noren (four and two), Tommy Fleetwood (two and one), Henrik Stenson (two and one), Rafa Cabrera Bello (four and three), Bernd Wiesberger (two and one), Alexander Levy (three and one), Pieters (1 hole) and Tyrell Hatton (two and one) were triumphant for Europe, while Matthew Fitzpatrick's singles match against Sunghoon Kang was halved.

Asia won the final two ties thanks to Yuta Ikeda and Li Haotong against Ross Fisher and Paul Dunne respectively.

Mozart: Opera and Concert Arias
Reviewed on Mon 06 Feb, 2017
The young German soprano, Anett Fritsch, sings arias from all three soprano roles in Le Nozze di Figaro – and it is slightly strange to hear them all sung on the CD in her clearly recognisable voice.
This anthology of Mozart arias is ably sung by the young German soprano Anett Fritsch. She sings arias from all three soprano roles in Le Nozze di Figaro – indeed, she has portrayed all three on stage in 2016 (separately of course) – and it is slightly strange to hear them all sung on the CD in her clearly recognisable voice. It is a pleasure to hear the beautiful legato in 'Deh, vieni' and 'Porgi, amor' produced by her lovely voice. The coloratura ending of 'Batti, batti' (from Don Giovanni, track 7), is sung joyously, but I am less convinced by her Donna Elvira where perhaps more variation in dynamics would give greater depth of feeling – this is particularly true of 'Mi tradì quell'alma ingrata' (track 8). Fritsch's skilful coloratura is well shown in Fiordiligi's two serious arias (from Così fan tutte, tracks 9 and 11) which are full of musical leaps but also contain some contrasting legato. From the same opera Despina's light-hearted advice ('Una donna a quindici anni', track 10) is not lacking in coloratura but is amusingly sung in a totally different manner. Although the last two tracks have opera backgrounds, Mozart did not write the operas but composed these as concert arias. They are both very sad and are movingly portrayed. Fritsch has richness in her low notes and maintains a pleasing purity of voice in her highest notes.

Turning Off The Cold: Neuroscientists Remove Chilly Protein From Skin
February 13, 2013
Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com – Your Universe Online
Are you tired of being cold all the time? Do you wish you could turn the cold off at the push of a button? Well neuroscientists from the University of South Carolina (USC) may have some good news for you.
It seems this group of researchers, led by David McKemy, associate professor of neurobiology in the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Science, have been able to isolate chilliness at the cellular level, identifying a network of sensory neurons in the skin that relays the sensation of cold to the brain. McKemy and his colleagues were able to selectively turn off this sensation in mice without affecting their ability to sense both heat and touch.
This study follows previous work by McKemy, in which he discovered a link between the sensation of cold and a protein known as TRPM8 (pronounced trip-em-ate). The TRPM8 protein is a sensor of cold in skin neurons, as well as a receptor for menthol, the cooling component of mint.
