Anytime Gifts for Caregivers
Do you have people in your life who are caregivers? Perhaps someone in your family cares for another family member, or you have a neighbor or close friend who spends significant time providing care, whether living in or not. You may be a caregiver yourself. Even in loving relationships, caregiving is stressful. Emotional and physical demands can take a toll, leading to depression, anxiety, compromised immune systems and other health problems.
Gifts of Service for Caregivers
Some gifts take almost no time at all, yet can make a significant difference to someone whose job or life is focused on others.
- Write a note – Notes of appreciation can encourage caregivers. It's always nice to know that someone is thinking of you.
- Run an errand – It may be easy to go the store for yourself, but caregivers may have limited time. Check in with a caregiver you know who may need groceries or a pick up from the pharmacy.
- Make or take a meal – Everyone appreciates a break in the routine of meal prep. When you take a meal to a caregiver you can help make their day just a little bit easier.
- Schedule a walk and talk – A caregiver may not be able to often go too far from home, but may have time for a walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air and exercise. Your companionship makes the time even better.
- Bring lasting beauty – Plant seasonal flowers in the yard or give a container with a flowering plant that can lift the spirits of the caregiver and the care receiver.
- Create a playlist – Music is a great stress reliever, and it's a way to share uplifting or soothing songs.
- Ask how you can help – Saying, "Call me if you need anything," won't work. Ask specifically how you can be of help and offer a few suggestions that make it easy for the caregiver to say "yes." For example, offer to give the caregiver a break by staying with the care receiver for a few hours.
Helpful Tools for Caregivers
If what you have in mind for caregivers is something you can give to make life easier, here are a few suggestions:
- Baby monitor – If the caregiver is in another part of the house than the care receiver, then the caregiver can hear (or see, if a video monitor) if the care receiver needs help or assistance.
- Car tools – Two things that can make it easier to get in and out of the car are a portable grab bar that inserts into the hole where the car door closes or a portable strap to put through the window over the top of the door frame. Then close the window to make the strap a secure place to grab.
- Motion alarms – Motion sensor alarms, lights or a floor mat can signal a caregiver at night that the care receiver is up and moving around.

In Koko Taylor's Wang Dang Doodle, there's some kind of ringing arpeggio lead that almost makes you forget that the whole song has only one chord. How do you play that crazy lead?
Edit: This isn't the one I was thinking of, but the lead is similar. link
This is it: link the lick takes form at 0:20 and repeats a few times, punctuating the lyric.
Edit: The comments all refer to what I think is the bass, or maybe a low (baritone?) guitar riff. That's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm talking about that really high part. First few times I heard it, I thought they were plucking piano strings. If the song is pitched in D-minor, then the riff I'm talking about goes (I think) like
$3 17 $2 16 $3 17 $1 15 15 $2 16 $3 17
Not the one that goes like (E minor)
$6 0 5 7 $5 5 $6 7 $5 7 5 $6 3 4 0 | 0
Edit: Specifically, if it's sweep arpeggios, how do you do the reverse to the up-sweep (between the two 'A's)? Maybe I've been focusing on fingerstyle too long. I just can't seem to get this lick right.

Microsoft is revising a program that allows Windows Vista customers to upgrade from a basic version of its OS to one of the premium editions.
The program, called Windows Anytime Upgrade, was designed to make it easier for customers to upgrade to a more expensive version of Vista by allowing them to purchase a digital "product key" and download it from the Web.
At the time that they purchased their OSes, customers received a DVD containing several versions of Windows Vista, including the premium editions. Downloading the new product key allowed them to unlock a higher-end version from the disc.
Upgrade Kit Necessary
Microsoft has now decided to stop distributing product keys online, it said today. Starting Feb. 20, customers who want to upgrade will have to buy a Windows Anytime Upgrade kit from a local retailer, or via postal mail from Microsoft. The kit will include a Vista DVD and a product key for the version they are upgrading to.
Microsoft said it was making the change based on feedback from users. The new system means customers won't have to worry if they lost their original Vista DVD and now want to upgrade.
However, it also means that people will now have to visit their local retailer or contact Microsoft via post (an option not available in Japan).
The price to upgrade will be the same as it was under the previous system, which was US$79, according to Microsoft.
"Customers have told us that this change will streamline the Windows Anytime Upgrade experience, and that they would prefer to use the DVD and a standard 25-character product key to perform the upgrade -- rather than the combination of the DVD and digital key," Microsoft said.
More information about Windows Anytime Update can be found on Microsoft's Web site.

Walker has fond memories of coaching Sox hitters
CHICAGO -- For the first time in his 11 seasons as a hitting coach, Greg Walker got a look at the visitors' clubhouse during the Braves' optional workout on Thursday. He was the White Sox hitting coach during some of the franchise's most productive seasons with the bat, including the 2005 World Series championship run, and quite possibly stands as one of the most underappreciated figures in Chicago sports lore.
Even in his second year in charge of the Atlanta hitters, Walker still has a strong Chicago bond.
"After the Braves, the next place I go to check is the White Sox to see how they did," Walker said. "Over the years, I was here for 20 years almost, the Herm Schneiders, the Roger Bossards, the people that I was with, you spend more time with those people than you do your own family for eight months out of the year. They're like brothers to me. That doesn't go away."
Walker exchanged pleasantries around the batting cage with some of his White Sox charges and the new staff during the White Sox early workout, and had dinner with his wife, Carmen, and Paul Konerko, and his wife, Jennifer, Wednesday night before Konerko left on his Minor League rehab assignment in Birmingham. Konerko has always referred to Walker as his hitting coach, with no disrespect meant to current hitting coach Jeff Manto, and Walker takes pride in the "small part" he played in Konerko's tremendous career.
"It's not just here in Chicago. The players all over the league really respect him and how he goes about his business. I get asked questions about him almost every day," Walker said. "He's had a special career.
"I hope he gets extended. I hope he gets to play a few more years and gets close to the Hall of Fame. That would be nice. He's about as professional as it gets. He's a tactician, a technician when it comes to the game. He's a very smart guy, sometimes to a fault. He's a special baseball player. I think players around the league, they all respect him more so than the average fan knows."
When Walker left after the '11 season, despite Robin Ventura wanting him to stay on, he knew it was time for a new voice in the White Sox clubhouse. He wasn't sure if coaching was in his future, but the Braves' job was a perfect fit.
"Two places that I played and grew up watching I got to be the hitting coach, so it's good," Walker said. "I like it. I ended up in a good spot. I hated to leave, but it was time to go. I might have stayed too long actually, but I knew there would be a day when I would say, 'OK, I'm not the right guy for the job anymore,' and I figured it out that last year about halfway through.
"Going through all this stuff we went through over the years, some of it good, some of it not so good, it got to be that was where the focus was rather than the actual job itself. I'm grateful that I stayed here as long as I did. I'm grateful that we won the World Series. We won a lot of games, the players had great years and made money. The White Sox were really relevant here for a long time.
"I hadn't second-guessed my decision to leave at all," Walker said. "Without a doubt, it was one of the better decisions I made because it was the right thing to do."

Photos From Chanel's Spring 2010 Collection 2009-10-06 12:00:22
Chanel's Barn Bonanza!
Chanel's Barn Bonanza!
Karl does country. It's impossible to guess Karl's next move, and who would have thought it would be to the barn? His Spring collection, replete with stars and spectacles, lightened the mood. The clothes were frilly, feminine, and colourful, adorned with thematic accessories like Chanel clogs, flowers in the hair, and drippy jewels. Prince was there, and so were Chanel devotees Rihanna, Claudia Schiffer, Dasha Zhukova, and Clemence Poesy. With Karl playing a part, and Lily Allen serenading, it looked like a thrilling fashion hoedown.

Hello to the blogging world! It has been over a month since I have been here and there has just been so much going on. As from my last posted blog, I had family and friends that had been coming in from all over the place. That is not all that has taken place over the past month... I swear sometimes I think I need my own Personal Assistant!
I am going to copy off of my friend Jennie from HappyMayhem and do the count off.... here it goes.
1. Well after the McDonald's Day of Fun, Liz and her three kids came over for a fun night of talking, playing and eating of the beloved Wedgewood Pizza. Most people who lived in this area and have moved away, make it a mission to get a Wedgewood Pizza while in town-it never fails. Well, it was one of those freak gorgeous days so the kids played inside and out- I can say I had a great time. My sister Michelle, from VA can over as well, with my two nieces. Jamie and Jennie were there of course, because any nice day is not complete without the horde of children altogether.
2. Then Liz and I went out to Jess's in Cleveland to spend some more time together, before Liz had to hop back in her truck for more driving and visiting. That night was a blast. The kids all got to play at Burger King and us girls got to dish about all the things that have been effecting our lives. Later that night before I had to head home with my crew, Kayla (Liz's lil girl) gave Kaleb some hugs and kisses. Kaleb now tells everyone that she is his girlfriend.
3. There was a great kite festival that took place and Jennie, Jamie and I took our clan of 8 children. We had a blast. Kites flying everywhere and kids laughing. There were concession stands, and you can't keep me away from that kind of food... MMMM, just thinking about it makes me want it. Usually I am the one getting injured in some way, but this time the curse fell on Jennie. While trying to get a kite out for one her lil men, she chipped her tooth. I want to know how that happened, but it did!
4. The weather was awesome! We played outside with go-carts, sprinklers, 4wheelers, and cooking out. Oh how I love cooking out! We had some great times with that wonderful warm weather. I actually even starting planting some veggies in hopes that I can grow them. Fingers crossed!
5. Finally after several weeks I finally got into the Dentist. I had already been on one antibiotic and the dentist took some xrays and told me to go to a specialist there is nothing that he can do. So he puts me on another antibiotic. Well, two weeks later I get in to see him... Now I have finished the second antibiotic and, four days later got an ear infection, was put on another antibiotic and seeing the specialist. He cleans out the took, says the guy who did the root canal didn't go a good job and put some funky stuff in my tooth that shouldn't have been there, and that is what had made my tooth go black. He cleaned that all out, TOOTH STOPPED HURTING!!!! and the discoloration was gone! I am so happy! I keep just showing all my teeth!
6. Received something in the mail for being referred to and invited to an interview for National American Miss Pageant for Cadence. So we go to the Free interview to see what it is all about. They take Cadence aside, do an interview and tell us we will here from them in a few days.
7. Cadence is a State Finalist for National American Miss Ohio Princess. The Pageant is in June and there is so much to do. We then had to go to a model training that went over everything that we have to work on up to the pageant. Good lord, there is a lot!
8. Still waiting to get back into the dentist to get my root canal completed... I hate the dentist. I swear, teeth are over rated!
9. Helped plan and throw my dad his 60th surprise birthday party. That was so much fun! The kids had a blast and all us kids were able to get together and get him a gas powered backpack leaf blower. I loved every moment of it. I really didn't get to do anything like this for my dad... I hardly got to do anything with him ever. So this was AMAZING!!!!!!
10. We signed Kyle and Cadence up for Soccer this summer. We got started on getting them their things. And they are excited about playing this year, well Cadence is way more excited than Kyle.
11. Cadence has been registered for Kindergarten. Kaleb is registered for Pre-School and Kyle is going to an intermediate school next year. My babies are all growing up! What in the ...???
12. Now we are counting down the last days of school, the days til the pageant, the days til Cadence's graduation ceremony, the days til soccer practices, the days til vacation, the days til soccer games... and so on and so on.....
I am sure I left stuff out, but I have been on the go nonstop for so long and it doesn't seem to have an ending anytime soon... Glad to be back!

Hello Everybody,
I am a beginner in XML. All I know right now is to create a simple,
hard-coded XML file, validate with DTD and display using DOM. Now, I have a
question for the group.
I am working on a VB app that will go thru a whole bunch of fixed-length
text files to look for a specific text string, and I believe XML is the best
way to handle this task. However, I don't know enough of XML (esp within
VB) to get started. Can anyone give me some help?
Thank you very much.

WORCESTER — Camden Morrison was in the building the last time the Millis girls basketball team sealed a trip to the state championship, but it was a bit of a struggle to see the action.
The senior center was in seventh grade in 2009 when the Mohawks last earned their shot, not quite as tall as she is now. She remembers being in the last row of the bleachers, looking down on the court, dreaming of the day when her turn might come.
On Tuesday, she had a slightly better vantage point — center of the court, being mauled by her teammates.
For the first time since that 2009 season when the Mohawks defeated Georgetown at TD Garden to capture the state title, Millis will return to the championship game. Thanks to an overwhelming defensive effort, Millis coasted to a 50-32 victory in the Division 4 state semifinal over Quaboag at Clark University.
"Now it's us out there on the court," said Morrison. "It's crazy. Playing it. Living it. It's been one of the greatest experiences of my life and I'll never forget it."
Millis (15-10) will take on New Mission in the state title game at Holy Cross on Friday (Time TBA). Quaboag closed its season at 20-4.
"It's great," said Millis coach Dave Fallon. "They deserve it, they really worked hard and we're ready for the moment."
The plan leading into the game remained the same as it was throughout the tournament. As always, it started at the defensive end.
The Mohawks reached the state semifinals largely on the strength of their defense, as just one of the teams they defeated in the Central sectional was able to exceed 40 points. Fallon had previously referred to his team's defense as relentless.
Against the Cougars, the description stuck.
Millis limited Quaboag to just two points in the first quarter and never allowed the Cougars to score more than 12 in any quarter while coming up with 10 steals on the night.
"We wanted to clog up the paint," said Fallon. "Limit penetration from their point guard and not give her any open looks and just clog it up, force jump shots, contest the jump shots, give up nothing in the paint. The kids executed the game plan beautifully. We tried to create havoc and I thought we did."
But due to some early jitters and a few bad bounces, Millis held just a 9-2 advantage after the first eight minutes.
And then Morrison (19 points, eight rebounds) took charge. The Mohawks followed in suit.
Millis went on a 22-6 run to take a 31-8 lead into the half, with Morrison coming up with 10 points in the second period.
"I didn't expect to take that type of lead into halftime," said Fallon. "They're a very well coached team, but defensively I just thought we gave ourselves some easy baskets."
If the defense was consistent, Millis was missing something in its offense, as its leading scorer this season, junior Amy Assad, went without a bucket in the first half.
Assad finally got on the board with 6:15 remaining in the third quarter on a pretty reverse layup, and followed that by drilling a 3-pointer at the five-minute mark to give Millis a 39-10 advantage.
But that was it for her offensively, as she went a frustrating 2-for-10 shooting on the night.
"The key was we found a way to still win," said Fallon. "I think it's great that no one panicked and everyone stepped up."
Aside from Morrison, the Mohawks were given a lift by sophomore Katy Golden (12 points).
"We had the fast break all day long and the point guards just hit me every time," said Golden.
With the lead in hand, Fallon took an opportunity to rest his starters. Morrison went to the bench, opening things up for the Cougars in the second half.
Quaboag went on a 10-4 run to end the third quarter, cutting the deficit to 42-20, with senior Jessica Korzec and freshman Kayla Klein each chipping in four points during the stretch. Four quick points to start the fourth quarter from junior Brittany Herring and freshman Alexia Pauqette brought Quaboag within 18.
But Morrison re-entered the game, draining a jumper at the top of the key to extend the Mohawks' lead to 48-26 with just under four minutes remaining. Millis kept the pressure on, and sophomore Erin Collins hit two free throws with 30 seconds remaining for the 50-32 final and a ticket to the state final.
"I'm really excited," said Golden. "I was in fifth grade the last time — I could never imagine being there myself.
"I can't even describe it in words. It's so unbelievable and I'm so happy for everyone on the team right now."

Late in yesterday's embarrassing Jaguars performance at home against the Texans, a presumably beer-fueled fan took to EverBank Field to perform the usual jackassery of an Idiot On The Field. As the crowd cheered his antics, though, yellow-shirted security completely ignored what was happening on the field. (That's First Coast News sports director Dan Hicken ranting beneath the video; you remember him from this stunt in which he rips Bob Costas for running too late with the Olympics.)
So after racking up about 175 yards on the field, a security officer eventually gives chase, but fails. That's when Jaguars defensive back Dwight Lowery finally gets involved, grabbing the miscreant and handing him over to the Keystone Kops that found him so elusive.
Lowery wasn't happy, asking after the game what the hell the security staff was doing (from the video, it looks like they were posing for photos). But, then, his offense only gained 117 yards on the day—significantly fewer than the Idiot On The Field managed. [WTLV]

He probably got a new name and passport. The fact that he is a wanted criminal should not surprise anyone. I forwarded this to a local bounty hunter and he told me there is no reward, so there is no interest. He also said that North Dakota will not extradite low level criminals but the arrest warrant is still active. He also told me that Dayeh University in Chang Hwa is notorious for it's criminal element. Dayeh University was recently involved in a scam where they were collecting tuitions for a non existent University in the US. Could be your missing person was the the American connection, as he is a known con artist. My first guess would be his current name is Leeman, the one you said he mentioned as a colleague. He may still be there as communication is often very bad in Chinese institutions of learning and he may not have heard that anyone is looking for him. Chances are that when he does find out that someone is looking for him under that name, he will run.

Political and business leaders invited to the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos this week will sift through the blessings and curses of global interdependence that not only brought the world's economiesto a collective low three years ago but also provide the only realistic return to prosperity.
Economic growth has resumed in much of the world, but recovery has been slight and fragile.
"The world is no position to face major, new shocks," concluded the World Economic Forum's annual risk survey. "The financial crisis has reduced global economic resilience, while increasing geo-political tension and heightened social concerns suggest that both governments and societies are less able than ever to cope with global challenges."
The report, meant to set the table for Davos' attendees, set an ominous tone underscored by WEF founder Klaus Schwab.
"We should not look to old-world recipes, since unfettered capitalism and state-directed collectivism have both been bankrupted as guiding ideologies," he sais in a recent media briefing. "Our only way out is the stakeholder concept. The pursuit of our own interests can only be substantially realized by incorporating the interests of all those with whom we have a mutually dependent relationship."
Two Sides Of Globalization
Over the past 50 years, the global exchange of information, goods, services, capital, technology, ideas and people has fostered a rise in standards of living throughout much of the world.
Yet, as the editors of a new book, "The Dark Side of Globalization," point out, "The growth in transnational flows has not been matched by an equivalent growth in global governance mechanisms to regulate them."
Jorge Heine & Ramesh Thakur, two political science professors from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, write, "The notion that endless liberalization, deregulation and relaxation of capital and all border controls (except labor) will assure perpetual self-sustaining growth and prosperity has proven to be delusional."
The new year finds the European Union still mired in its first major test—stronger members like Germany and France propping up debt-heavy ones like Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
"The EU has a monetary union but not a fiscal or regulatory union," says Jamie Metzl, executive vice president of the Asia Society. "That puts pressure on countries like Germany that have to bear enormous responsibility for the well-being of the whole union. It's going to cause enormous problems since there are such diverse regulatory environments."
Push Vs. Pull
As French President Nicolas Sarkozy observed: "We can't share the same currency and have different economic strategies."
China, India and other emerging countries struggle to restrain inflation that is driving up the cost of goods and labor in ways that threaten their reputations as low-cost havens.
In November, China posted a 5.1-percent annual gain in its consumer price index, the largest in more than two years. Defensive measures brought it down to 4.6 percent in December.
The United States and China accuse each other of engaging in currency wars that threaten to undermine the cooperation needed for global recovery.
And while engineering its own economic recovery, the U.S. continues to increase its deficit while largely ignoring calls to cut spending.
"The bond crises we've seen in Greece and Ireland may not be unique to them," says Metzl, a National Security Council staffer in the Clinton Administration. "If the U.S. continues to amass debt like we have, we'll have a bond crisis here. It may not be the same, but it won't be entirely different."
The current global order is built around the notion that some countries will be consumers and some will be producers, said Armagan Gezici, a Turkish-born economics professor at Keene State College in New Hampshire.
"This order is fed by an increasingly fragile global financial order," she says. "Countries that can still export and generate exports revenues seem to emerge as strong ones, while the economies of the others have been struggling. The latter group now includes the U.S. and the U.K., which have not been known as the weak countries in the world."
Signs Of Teamwork
Such countries should accept that they cannot go on living on debt forever, adds Gezici, "especially if the debt creation is completely left into unregulated hands of a global financial industry. Finance capital is a too dangerous of a beast to be the engine of long-term, stable growth."
The Davos risk survey refers to "the threat of a new economic crisis, which could arise from the tension between the increasing power and wealth of emerging economies and the high levels of debt in the west."
Teamwork Emerges
Despite continued economic turmoil, various frameworks for global governance continue to grapple with its causes, as evidence of global teamwork emerges.
In recent weeks, Japan pledged to buy 20 percent of the EU bonds that will be issued soon to support Ireland. Also this month, China agreed to buy debt from Spain, the EU's fourth-largest economy, after agreeing last year to buy bonds issued by Greece.
Earlier this month, banking regulators representing 27 of the world's largest economies agreed to raise worldwide capital requirements whenever a country declares its economy is overheated.
Members of The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision voted to require banks within the country to hold extra capital to protect against potential losses, and other countries with exposure to the "bubble country" would follow suit.
"This is very significant, because it takes the regulatory community into protecting the health of the entire system rather than just individual banks," said Paul Tucker, deputy governor of the Bank of England.
"They've crossed a Rubicon," says Barbara Matthews, a U.S.-based regulatory consultant. "Up until now the Basel committee has been about making banks safe. They are now implementing a tool kit that blurs the line between regulation and economic policy."
G-20 Steps Up, Falls Down
In 2009, the so-called G-20, which is made up of countries that represent 85 percent of the world's economies, agreed in at its meeting in Pittsburgh to become the new permanent council for international economic cooperation, replacing the smaller G8.
"At the outset of the global financial crisis, measures taken appeared ad hoc or temporary," says Gezici. "But the decision at the Pittsburgh Summit in September 2009 to institutionalize the Group of 20 reflects a marked shift in the locus of leadership."
The G-20 adopted a proposal from President Obama that outlined a process for economic cooperation to help ensure that worldwide recovery is sustained. It's the first time such a large number of countries agreed to work together on each others' economies, regulatory reforms and future growth.
But the group's subsequent meeting last November in Korea stalled, failing to capitalize on earlier progress as members disagreed on how to best foster global growth.
"Korea showed that the G20 goal of strong, sustainable and balanced growth is nothing but a mantra with few follow-through policies," says Gezici. "The underlying problem is that it is impossible to force nations to agree when they have irreconcilable differences over their global economics analysis and policy prescriptions."
Davos founder Schwab said this year, "the G20 will have to demonstrate that it can address not only the necessary financial reforms but also questions of global governance, the reform of the global monetary system and the scarcity and fair distribution of natural resources."
An individual nation's economic troubles now ripple across world markets in hours, even minutes yet global solutions remain elusive and nearly impossible to implement.
"We are entering uncharted waters," says Metzl. "American debt is a big challenge, as is the overheating of the Chinese economy and the growing debt crisis in the European Union. We have lived in a U.S.-led, rules-based economy for some seven decades, and something new is now emerging. In a post-American world, no one knows yet what the rules are or appreciates the dangers."

The aim of our studies is to obtain an insight into amino acid metabolism in the developing barley grain at the molecular level and thereby provide a foundation for plant breeding towards improved nutritional quality.
Barley grain is one of the richest sources of fibre (soluble and insoluble) and is an excellent source of beta-glucan, which is involved in regulation of plasma lipids, regulation of glucose and insulin metabolism, lowering cholesterol level. Its alkalinity is balancing excess acidity in the digestive tract and furthermore barley contains minerals (Fe, Se, Ca, Mg and K), vitamins (B, E), flavonoids, phenolic acids and anthocyanins. Overall, barley could be a good alternative to other common grains in our diet – the question is how can it be a staple food? The aim of our project is to improve the bread making properties of the barley dough by finding cultivars with more favourable protein composition (hordein preparation, SDS-PAGE electrophoresis; NIT analysis, AA determination by UPLC, small scale baking trials).
The project was supported by Fødevareforskningsprogrammet 2007 (2008-2011). To date the project has fostered international collaboration with M. Bleidere, Latvian University of Agriculture, Latvia and K-J Muller, Cereal Research Station, Darzau, Germany.
The underlying hypothesis of the project is that significant changes in amino acid composition can be achieved by modulating the relative proportions of the storage proteins. Storage proteins consist of gene families and we are characterising the allelic complements of these families as some alleles are present but expressed in certain cultivars but not in others. This implies that there is natural variation in amino acid composition that can be exploited. The project comprises a screening of a large number of barley accessions selected for high protein content and molecular and biochemical analysis are undertaken of the major group of storage proteins (hordeins) to characterize their allelic variations. The project contributes to the inherent technical issues: handling proteins and tracking these back to genes of gene families. In the current project we will concentrate on barley but the same strategy can be applied to wheat in later projects (qRT-PCR, SDS-PAGE, AA analysis by UPLC, 2D-DIGE combined with MALDI-TOF MS).
The project was supported by Fødevareforskningsprogrammet 2008 (2009-2012). The project has further collaboration with the group of Prof. Jenny Renaut, Centre de Recherche Public and Gabriel Lippmann Department of Environment and Agrobiotechnologies, Luxembourg.
We generated new barley and wheat lines by genetic modification using RNAi gene-silencing technology to alter the C-hordein level in barley by introducing RNAi constructs of a C-hordein gene and its close homologue ?-gliadin from wheat. Similarly, in wheat RNAi constructs of a ?-gliadin gene is used for repression of this prolamine group. Identification of the number of insertions (Southern hybridisation); Protein pattern analysis (hordein preparation, SDS-PAGE) and determination of the amino acids composition of the transgenic grains (high pressure liquid chromatography - UPLC) revealed new, improved lines. Analysis of segregation of the single copy transgenic lines (quantitative real time PCR).
The project was supported by Fødevareforskningsprogrammet 2008 (2009-2012).
It is now well established that increased CO2 content will result in yield increases in the form of starch while the relative content of protein and minerals is reduced. This will have far reaching consequences for the nutritional and processing quality of cereals, the primary food for man and feed for livestock. It is the aim of the current project to use genetic modification for improving protein quantity and -quality as well as the mineral content in the cereal grain to meet the food/feed demands under future conditions of elevated levels of atmospheric CO2. We will specifically focus on (i) improving nitrogen use efficiency resulting in higher protein content in the grain, (ii) increasing the zinc content of the grain and (iii) exploring the causal relationship between protein quantity/quality and the zinc content. Several materials are already on the way that can be analyzed under conditions simulating the CO2 and temperature regimes of the future. The usefulness of the existing as well as new materials will be evaluated through Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) and environmental and agronomic analyses.
The project was supported by Fødevareforskningsprogrammet 2009 (2010-2013). It is a collaborative project involving several Danish Universities and groups: Dept. of Molecular Genetics and Biotechnology, Aarhus University; Department of Management Engineering, Technical University of Denmark; Dept. of Agriculture and Ecology, University of Copenhagen; Institute of Chemical Engineering, Biotechnology and Environmental Technology, University of Southern Denmark and Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University.
We developed a model system of barley and wheat single cell suspension cultures. In order to characterise and validate the model we have chosen to study the response of the cell lines to abiotic stresses, for example osmotic, heavy metal (Cd) in collaboration with Prof. FeiBo Wu (Institute of Crop Science, College of Agriculture & Biotechnology, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou) and UV stress using ROS indicators in collaboration with Prof. Eva Hideg, (Iniversity of Pecs, Hungary).
The project had been supported by Danida; Sino-Danish Scientific and Technological Cooperation 2006-2007 (Dong Jing, PhD student), and the 2010-2011 (Hongyan Sun, PhD student). The project has further collaboration with Dr. Steve Bowra, Verzyme, Aberystwyth, UK.

Hello, I had an unintended quick break last month (sorry about that, chaps) but here we are, back again...
Big news north of the border right now is the Scottish Album of the Year awards which you may have read about here; which will grant some much-appreciated recognition, not to mention £20,000, to the winner this June.
At the moment, each of the albums on the long list (which includes Mogwai, Aidan Moffat and Bill Wells, Remember Remember, We Were Promised Jetpacks, Happy Particles - etc etc; the extremely talented full list is here are being streamed, one by one, on the awards website.
From May 14, the public will be able to vote for their favourites online or by downloading the SAY app. Three days later, the judges panel will reduce the longlist to a shortlist of ten, including the public's favourite.
If people could stop cancelling things or splitting up, that would be nice. The start of April saw an emotional (if you can call a gig with dildos and poo pinatas 'emotional', which I think you can because it was tremendous) goodbye from Take a Worm for a Walk Week; the end saw the announcement that Otherpeople are splitting up too.
This is sad news - a statement from the band's Andrew Manson on Facebook said:
"As a decision between all four of us, we've decided that our extra curricular projects- namely the shitty things like work and studying- have become too intrusive on our band commitments and we can no longer dedicate enough time to being semi decent at playing."
A final gig in Glasgow is currently being arranged.
May, it has to be said, is going to be a good month for releases, but first a couple just past:
Named after characters in the Wire and recording everything in one of their bedrooms so as to have things just exactly their own way, Father Sculptor released 'Ember/Blue' in April which is decidedly worthy of a listen:
The prettiness of the 'Diamonds' EP from Julia and the Doogans also appeared in April. Lovelorn and delicate, 'Bound' is a standout track for me:
'From All Angles' by Profisee was also released, here's a sample in 'Take My Hand':
An email came from North American War saying "we think that you might enjoy our music". Their 7", 'Geraniums on a Spit/Ivory And' (complicated title much?) is out on May 30 and they were certainly correct about its enjoyability. There's a fantastically grungy feel to it, with spiky guitars thrumming under urgent, half-spoken, layered vocals. It'll be available here.
The Son(s) will follow up their self-title album with a new EP, 'Leviathan' on May 7 through Olive Grove. Despite the challenging description of the recording process:
"These songs were sung and recorded in an old cold, empty, echoey flat in Edinburgh. Away from home, stuck in the dark middle of winter. It was the coldest winter there for more than 50 years. Temperatures fell to minus 14C."
…it's a collection of songs that manage to evoke that exact atmosphere and intensity and be entirely pleasurable at once.
'Roaring Round the House' is a case in point:
French Wives' 'Dream of the Inbetween' is out on May 7 looks back on the band's last four years together and so is that debut album mash of favourite old singles like 'Halloween' and 'Me vs Me' alongside the new.
The songs are marked by an ear for a ridiculously catchy melody, as well as a skill for arrangement, whether it be finding a place for harmonising vocals or knowing how to properly exploit the talents of violin player Siobhan Anderson.
The band plays a show in Dundee's Dexters on May 4, plus a freebie to celebrate the release on May 7, at the Captain's Rest, Glasgow.
Holy Mountain's 'Earth Measures' mini-album, out the same day, is shaping up to be quite tremendous in an entirely different way. Basically, it starts with this song which should tell you all you need to know. They're launching it in Mono, Glasgow, with Happy Particles on May 5.
Another anticipated album in May is the second from Admiral Fallow, 'Tree Bursts in Snow' (out May 21) - which, judging on the strength of singles like 'The Paper Trench' is going to be a good 'un. They're in the middle of a tour right now - dates here.
Two Wings' 'Eikon' single which was released earlier in April. Their debut album, 'Love's Spring' is out on Tin Angel Records on April 30.
One review stated your opinion would probably depend on your reaction to the lead singer's voice and I can't disagree with that. There's definitely something nice going on here; something a bit folky, a bit rootsy, a bit psych and a lot horn-section-y blending with that Marmite-vocal (good in my book - you?). More info here.
Dave Hughes and the Renegade Folk Punk Band, Emma Hallows and Algernon Doll, Thursday May 3, 13th Note, Glasgow.
A little chat with Dave revealed:
"It's basically our last on with the band before we hunker down to prepare a full-length album. I released my own album last year and I was really delighted - and quite touched - by the response, so I'm now doing one with the full band.
"We've been practicing songs for the album so might play out a couple of things which people haven't heard before, as well as playing a few covers and having fun really.
"It's more of a party than a gig for us and just want people to have a good night as well."
Brew at the Bog, Saturday May 5, Bogbain Farm, Inverness. Kicking off the festival season in earnest (Fence's Eye o' The Dug has already been, mind) is one of the newest contenders on the calendar. Tommy Reilly, Washington Irving, Endor, Stanley Odd, Kitty the Lion, Over the Wall and Three Blind Wolves are just the tip of a rather splendid line-up. Full details and tickets.

Bronto Skylift and Lady North, May 22-27, across the country. Double-whammy of a lineup, starting in Edinburgh and winding through Dundee, Inverness, Thurso and Aberdeen (where Lightguides and The LaFontaines will join the bill). Full details.
United Fruit, Monday May 28, Stereo, Glasgow After a jaunt through Europe this month, United Fruit will be brought back to Glasgow thanks to Detour and Glasgow Podcart. Support from Ice, Sea, Dead People.
Introducing… Stanley
We're taking a trip up north to Aberdeen this month; to meet Stanley, who have just released their debut album, 'Animals With Amazing Disguises' - a slick, theatrical, stomping entertainer of a record including songs which sound like they could soundtrack Westerns, join a dance party, or are written by Nick Cave obsessives.
After putting down the tracks themselves over eight months, a lot of work had to be redone when the original guitarist left - and a new song was written and added in the process.
"It's always the temptation when you do have your own studio to go back to rerecord parts and remix the songs rather than moving on," said Billy McBain (drums/laptop) "but I think the finished product was so important to us that we wanted to give our fans and ourselves something to be proud of which I feel we have.
"We all feel immensely proud of the album and feel the extra time we put into it was worth it."
Coming from the North East, they're also proud of the scene up in Aberdeen and beyond.
"We tend to be cut off up here so we create our own scene without relying on anybody else doing it for us," said Billy.
"People up here appreciate their music and are not taken in by a lot of the crap that can be involved in the music industry.
"I think we have to work a bit harder to get noticed up here, but there are so many good bands at the moment in the north east that it's going to be hard to ignore us all."
It's incredibly likely I've missed something out. Do feel free to drop me an email or tweet @elaineinglasgow.

Virtual Army 10-Mile
Good afternoon, I have the honor of serving as the Professor of Military Science for the Georgia Southern Eagle Battalion Army ROTC program.
Each year, the Army holds the Army 10 Miler in Washington DC. Normally, this is a great trip for the Cadets. Unfortunately, COVID caused the race to move to a virtual format. Anyone can run the Army 10 Miler on a course of their choosing.
I invited the 10 Cadets on the Georgia Southern Eagle Battalion Army ROTC 10 Mile Team to run a 10-mile course in our beautiful neighborhood! It is extremely flat, and we are expecting some great run times!
The team is competing against all the ROTC programs in the country during their run. We are running to win the Team Competition as the best ROTC 10 Mile Team.
We are starting at the Landings Harbor Marina and running south along Priest Landing Drive to Bartram Road, running Bartram Road to Landings Way, and running Landings Way to the entrance of the Palmetto Clubhouse (5 miles). We are then running back north along Landings Way to Bartram to Priest Landing to finish the race back at Landings Harbor Marina.
If anyone happens to be out on the roads and would like to cheer on the US Army's future leaders… please join us! The more cowbells, horns, whistles the better!
We are starting at 8am. Most of the runners will be running between a 6-7 minute per mile pace. We will be at the entrance of the Palmetto Clubhouse by 8:30 am and complete at the Landings Harbor Marina at approximately 9-9:30.

And are the most vulnerable
A tanka on that place where land and sea merge.

Looking for a safe and effective vaginal bleaching cream?
Our intimate lightening cream can be used to lighten or whiten both the vagina and anus areas and even the nipples. It is important to find a product that does not contain the ingredient hydroquinone for such senstive areas because it has shown to be carcinogenic and is not gentle on the skin at all. Here at Caspah we have created the perfect cream for vaginal bleaching. Not only is it affordable, but it works very well. We encourage you to do your research and we stand behind our products 100%. Read reviews and vaginal bleach comparisons below.
Please clean the area you would like to lighten first and then dry it thoroughly. Next, pump some cream out of the bottle and rub it into the area around the vagina that you wish to lighten. Please make sure to rub it in well enough that the skin absorbs the cream well. If you did not cover the entire area you are trying to lighten, please repeat this process until you have done it on all areas. We recommend repeating this process twice a day to get the best results. You should do it once in the morning and more importantly, once before bed time. You can do this until you have reached your desired skin tone and then stop use. If the area you are treating is going to be exposed to direct sunlight or tanning bed lights for a good amount of time, you should apply SPF 30+ sunblock on the treated area. Just make sure the lightening cream is already absorbed into the skin before applying sunblock. This will help the skin to keep from naturally getting darker from the UV rays. Do not use the cream on any area with broken skin or open wounds. Do not use if pregnant or breast feeding. It is for external use only. Keep uut of eyes.
The chart below compares Caspah side by side with all the top anal bleaching creams in the market for you to view. The information below is public and is right from the company websites.

Ohio death row inmate: Doctor couldn't find veins
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A prison doctor couldn't find veins in the arms of a death row inmate during a pre-execution checkup, the inmate said Friday by video in rare court testimony as he challenges the state's new, never-tried lethal-injection method.
Condemned child killer Ronald Phillips said the doctor could find only a vein on his right hand following an examination Oct. 18 at the medical center at Chillicothe Correctional Institution, south of Columbus.
Phillips, 40, testified under questioning by his attorneys that the doctor said he wasn't part of the state's lethal-injection process when asked to do the checks. A prison nurse also participated.
Phillips said he had a fear of needles dating from childhood when his parents would sell drugs and let addicts shoot up in their kitchen in a tough Akron neighborhood.
He testified by video hookup from the prison where death row is housed for more than an hour. He's scheduled to die Nov. 14 for raping and killing his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter, Sheila Marie Evans, in 1993.
There are no recent examples of Ohio death row inmates testifying in person or by video in federal court cases.
Phillips testified as part of a lawsuit brought by his attorneys to delay his execution while they gather evidence against the state's new execution policy, which includes a two-drug injection process.
The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction announced the new policy last month and said Monday it would use that process, which involves the sedative midazolam and the painkiller hydromorphone.
Phillips' attorneys say the department's announcements came too close to the execution date to allow a meaningful challenge. The state says nothing is substantially different about the new system.
The hearing Friday began by focusing on the state's decision to allow the prisons director or death house warden to delegate responsibility for changes in the execution process. That could include any deviation from the policy, down to paperwork documenting a particular step.
Ohio has walked away from that promise with the new policies, Phillips' attorney Allen Bohnert told the judge.
"Close enough for government work is not acceptable in applying this death penalty protocol," Bohnert said.
An attorney for Ohio said the state is committed to carrying out the execution in a humane, dignified and constitutional manner and understands that commitment.
"The state will do what the state says it will do," said Christopher Conomy, an assistant Ohio attorney general.
Judge Gregory Frost was not expected to rule Friday.
Phillips' attorneys also are challenging the state's new policy for the lethal drugs it will use.
The state's first choice is a specialty dose of the powerful sedative pentobarbital mixed by a compounding pharmacy. If that can't be obtained, as in the case of Phillips' execution, the state will use the two-drug method to put Phillips to death.
Phillips' lawyers argue the two drugs could cause severe side effects, including painful vomiting.
Those drugs, already part of Ohio's never-used backup method, have been repeatedly challenged, to no avail, the state said in a court filing Friday morning.
The drugs Ohio is proposing to use on Phillips will cause him to stop breathing within a few minutes, an anesthesiologist said in a statement Thursday as part of a filing by the state in support of the new method.
Irreversible brain and heart damage will follow, and the inmate will die a few minutes later, said Dr. Mark Dershwitz, a University of Massachusetts anesthesiologist.

Friday, January 4, 2013
The U.S. Department of Defense has stepped up its campaign against liquid protective coatings with a $1.5 million award to PPG Industries to develop a powder Chemical Agent Resistant Coating for military use.
The grant from DOD's Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) is the second of that magnitude, for that purpose, in six months.
In June, the same program awarded $1.4 million to The Sherwin-Williams Company to lead the development of a Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) powder topcoat for military vehicles and support equipment.
The 325th Maintenance Company applies Chemical Agent Resistant Coating at the Al Jubayl Paint Facility in Saudi Arabia. DOD has studied the effects of the coatings used during the Gulf War.
SERDP's mission is to harness the latest science and technology to improve the Defense Department's environmental performance and sustainability. The program partners with the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency.
CARC Controversy
The Army developed CARCs in 1974 and, beginning in 1983, required their use for all combat and support vehicles and equipment. But the coatings' risks were well known even then.
"Accidents from the handling, storage, and application of chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) operations are numerous and can occur at any level, from organization through IMDS/IM3S (depot) level maintenance," warned a DOD safety pamphlet from 1985.
In 2000, a DOD Environmental Exposure Report examined the risks of CARC used during the Gulf War of 1990-91. SERDP says the two-component polyurethane coatings emit about 5.2 million pounds of organic solvents each year, endangering both workers and the environment.
In 2000, the U.S. Army's Preventive Maintenance Monthly offered advice on safe handling of CARCs.
Nevertheless, the coatings still make up the largest category of paints applied to the U.S. military's inventory of equipment.
Powder Progress?
Now, DOD's stated goal is to develop a zero-VOC, zero-HAP exterior topcoat to replace the military's current generation of liquid-applied CARC topcoats.
SERDP says powder coatings "are safer to apply than many liquid alternatives, with no emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Plus, the ability to reuse overspray yields a nearly 100 percent utilization rate, so they generate little or no waste."
On the other hand, today's liquid CARCs do not absorb chemical agents on the battlefield and require minimal repainting. Most chemical contamination can simply be hosed off, DOD reports.
Any new powder topcoat also must be compatible with pretreatment and primer products already developed and approved for CARC applications. And it must meet military standards for ultraviolet (UV) durability, matte finish, and resistance to chemical agents.
Finding a replacement, therefore, is a tall order.
"To date, no coatings manufacturer has been able to develop a CARC powder topcoat that achieves this required combination of properties using standard powder formulation techniques," PPG notes.
A UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter gets an olive-drab Water Dispersible CARC finish at Fort Hood, TX. A satisfactory powder topcoat alternative has not yet been invented.
However, the Pittsburgh-based coating maker thinks it can change that.
PPG's Role
PPG notes that it is already qualified by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) as a producer of powder primer for CARC systems. ARL is DOD's approving authority for all CARCs and, as such, leads research and development activity for CARC systems.
The new grant will enable PPG to continue the ARL collaboration to develop a powder topcoat.
"PPG has developed proprietary processing and resin-synthesis capabilities for powder coatings that we believe will support development of powder CARCs meeting the MIL-PRF-32348 specification," said PPG Senior Scientist Lawrence Fitzgerald. He said the project would leverage powder coating technology that earned PPG an R&D 100 Award in 2009.
"Combining PPG's coatings expertise with the critical design requirements of the U.S. Army makes this partnership ideal," said John Escarsega, who leads ARL's Organic Coatings Team within its Weapons and Materials Research Directorate. He is also DOD's commodities manager for CARCs.
"Developing a CARC powder topcoat would benefit both DOD and commercial enterprises because of inherent program environmental health and safety standards," Escarsega said.
Comment from Tom Schwerdt, (1/4/2013, 8:43 AM)
Powder coating can definitely be very nice from a waste-reduction point of view.
Comment from Richard McLaughlin, (1/4/2013, 10:03 AM)
Although a noble endeavor, has anyone REALLY thought this through? I've set-up powder coating lines and application operations. I can tell you the process always looks good on paper to those who haven't had to actually do the work, but actually getting the desired results is far from simple or a foregone conclusion, and that is in a nice, safe, non-military theater base of operation. Yes, it is possible to get what passes for "zero" VOC and HAP powder coating, but the problems of applying such a coating to an assembled machine are legion! Uniformity of cure, huge Faraday cage effect caused by complex and acute geometry, maintaining a stable environment in the field for the inevitable touch-ups and repairs are only the beginning. As for "nearly 100% utilization", it is just a pipe dream. The money would be better spent on researching a compliant liquid coating, perhaps something in the UV cure family.
Comment from Pete Monaghan, (1/7/2013, 11:33 AM)
As for the waste, we have been successful in helping CARC paint facilities lower the amount of true waste from process. The recovery of solvents from waste stream can be helpful in lowering the true amount of waste solvent material. Like they said about powder coat, sound great in controled enviroment. Following Marine Corp-Source reduction protocol Reuse;Recycle;Treatment and then..Disposal
Comment from Eric Linak, (1/29/2014, 5:42 PM)
As a former powder coating specialist, I say good luck trying to cure the powder applied to tanks or jeeps. I agree with Richard McLaughlin, this looks like a boondoggle to me. Probably some soul in the government authorized this project who insists on spending some leftover stimulus money.

Agencies may excuse employees from work without loss of pay or charge to leave for testing and treatment if the employees have been identified as being at risk for exposure to anthrax or other hazardous agents.
Services to test for exposure to anthrax may be provided by the employing agency under 5 U.S.C. 7901. The Federal Employees' Compensation Act provides for medical treatment of an actual injury or occupational disease. However, if an employee not initially entitled to services to test for exposure to anthrax is identified later as having a "documented exposure" to anthrax or other hazardous agents, he or she will be reimbursed for tests and treatments by the Office of Workers' Compensation Programs (OWCP) or the agency. In addition, preventative care can be authorized by OWCP when there is probable exposure to a known contaminant requiring disease-specific measures against infection. You may obtain information on workers' compensation benefits at www.dol.gov/esa/owcp_org.htm.
