Residential Yards are for the Birds (Sometimes)
Few homeowners realize that when they are landscaping their yards, they are inadvertently creating habitats for birds, insects, and other animals that call urban areas home. Past CAP research has already established that residential landscaping in the Phoenix area has increased plant diversity compared to the native Sonoran desert due to the introduction of many exotic species of plants. Recent investigations have examined what residential landscaping choices mean for bird species in the city.
Soil Lead Distribution and Environmental Justice
Lead is a toxin that affects cognitive abilities in children. While people often think of air and water as pathways for environmental contaminants, soil is a major sink for environmental pollutants, including lead. Children can be exposed to lead through contaminated soil.
Former CAP Ph.D. student Xiaoding Zhuo investigated lead in Phoenix metropolitan area soils, using CAP's Survey 200 soil samples. Survey 200 is a long-term monitoring initiative that investigates changes in soils, plants, insects, and land use at 204 points located randomly across the metropolitan area and surrounding desert.
Phoenix: Land of 1,400 (Artificial) Lakes
Beginning with Hohokam irrigation canal construction over a thousand years ago, alterations to desert water systems have characterized the Phoenix area. Artificial lakes, constructed to connote a "desert oasis," are among the most visible of these human created water features.
While investigating artificial lakes, CAP Ph.D. student Libby Larson and CAP scientist Nancy Grimm found that existing maps of lakes in the metropolitan Phoenix area contained numerous inaccuracies. To create an accurate map, they used remote sensing imagery, GIS datasets, and state impoundment-permit information to identify lakes. Their work determined that there are between 900 and 1400 artificial lakes in the Phoenix metropolitan area, covering an area ranging from 7.9 to 8.2 km2, approximately 0.4% of the urbanized area (Figure 1).
The Western Black Widow Spider: From Desert Predator to Urban Pest
Urbanization is typically accompanied by a decline in biodiversity, yet certain species seem to thrive in urban areas where features of the native ecosystem have been greatly altered. In the Phoenix metropolitan area, the western black widow spider (Latrodectus hesperus) has become an urban pest, forming dense populations in the city. Since the venom of widow spiders is particularly dangerous to humans, their presence is not welcome in these human-shaped habitats. Instead, black widows are a factor in a vigorous pest management industry that homeowners depend on to rid their homes and yards of spiders, scorpions, roaches, and other undesirable arthropods.
Urbanization Effects on Native Bird Populations
Urbanization in the desert has changed the environment for native birds by transforming the vegetation structure, increasing access to water, and altering predation levels. CAP researchers Dr. Pierre Deviche, Dr. Bobby Fokidis, and Ph.D. candidate Scott Davies seek to understand the effects of urbanization on birds and the mechanisms that drive bird behavior. They are particularly interested in the role that hormones play in controlling behaviors.
Recently published research from the Deviche lab focuses on the territorial behavior of native birds in the city versus their desert counterparts and the relationships between this behavior, circulating hormones, and ecosystem structure. Fokidis, Deviche, and Miles Orchinik centered their investigations on males of two bird species found in the Sonoran Desert and the Phoenix metropolitan area, Abert's Towhee (Melozone aberti) and the Curve-billed Thrasher (Toxostoma curvirostre). They recorded the two species' responses to recorded bird calls that simulated an intrusion on territory.
Patterns and Drivers of Land Fragmentation in Five Cities
Land fragmentation is a major concern in rapidly urbanizing cities of the Southwest, mostly caused by discontinuous, low-density development over the last few decades. It has negative consequences for socio-ecological systems through disconnecting habitat, destroying migration corridors, increasing costs of public service provision, and increasing transportation distances from home to work.
A cross-LTER site research initiative has examined land fragmentation across the five cities and metropolitan areas associated with the Central Arizona-Phoenix (Phoenix, Arizona), Sevilleta (Albuquerque, New Mexico), Jornada (Las Cruces, New Mexico), Short Grass Steppe (Fort Collins, Colorado), and Konza Prairie (Manhattan, Kansas) Long Term Ecological Research (LTER) sites.
Socioecological Drivers of Residential Landscape Management and Ecosystem Responses
CAP LTER scientists Kelli Larson and Sharon Hall along with a team of graduate and undergraduate researchers have begun investigating residential landscapes in four neighborhoods in Phoenix, Arizona.
These distinct neighborhoods, which capture variations in landscaping and a cross-section of household incomes, are co-located with Survey 200 and Phoenix Area Social Survey field sites, allowing the researchers to draw on existing rich data sets.
Experimental Flood to Study Nitrogen Fluxes and Transformations
Storm water retention basins are a ubiquitous feature in Phoenix's residential and commercial areas. They concentrate water, nutrients, and pollutants from storm water runoff. While these basins can be important sites for improving storm water quality and recharging groundwater, they may also be sources of greenhouse gases.
In this video, CAP LTER graduate student Libby Larson experimentally floods a storm water retention basin at a north Phoenix elementary school in order to better understand how nitrogen behaves in this system.
Diversity of Ionizing-Radiation Resistant Bacteria
To the average person, desert soils can appear to be dry, lifeless environments. Research conducted by Fred Rainey and his colleagues on microbial biodiversity dispels this myth and offers insight into characteristics of some bacteria found in arid environments.
Rainey's lab at Louisiana State University analyzed the ionizing-radiation fractions of soil bacterial communities in a soil sample taken from the CAP LTER study area.
The Relationship between Pollen and Extant Vegetation across an Arid Urban Ecosystem and Surrounding Desert in Southwest USA
Due to its dry climate and limited vegetation, desert areas of Arizona were once a haven for individuals seeking allergen-free environments. Landscaping in the rapidly growing Phoenix metropolitan area has altered the pollen composition of this desert environment, with implications for allergy sufferers.
How does pollen abundance map against plant abundance across agricultural versus desert versus urban landscapes?
How well defined or delineated are the pollen-plant relationships? Can plant taxa be grouped according to the degree of correlation between pollen and plant cover abundance?
Can plant taxa be grouped depending on how well the presence or absence of the extant plant taxa correlate with the presence or absence of pollen across the entire study area?
Are the findings of the relationships between extant vegetation and pollen and the distribution of pollen in line with expected results or are these relationships confounded by disturbance and manipulation of plant diversity in the agro-urban environment?
Social Vulnerability, Environmental Inequity, and Childhood Asthma
Metropolitan Phoenix ranks in the top five US cities for asthma-related deaths. Approximately 8% of the Phoenix population has asthma, and research conducted in a low-income Latino neighborhood found that 16% of children under 19 years old had been diagnosed by a doctor as having asthma; this is twice the national average.
Sara Grineski investigated the relationships between socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, indoor hazards, ambient environmental hazards, and asthma hospitalization rates, to understand how these factors contribute to the incidence of childhood asthma and how families cope with childhood asthma. The study asked:
Do socio-spatial inequalities explain patterns in uncontrolled childhood asthma?
How do parents have differential control of children's asthma?
How have historical and geographical processes influenced inequalities associated with asthma control?
Agrarian Legacy in Soil Nutrient Pools of Urbanizing Arid Lands
Today's worldwide expansion of dryland cities consumes cultivated and native ecosystems. Urbanization of dryland farms may have biogeochemical consequences that differ from those accompanying farmland transformations in other biomes.
In temperate regions, soil organic matter (SOM) pools often decline during cultivation. In dry regions, however, farms replace native ecosystems with inherently small soil nutrient pools, which may gain rather than lose carbon (C) and SOM upon land transition. Around Phoenix, Arizona, USA, we compared soil nutrient pools in residential yards converted from farms to nutrient pools in yards developed on native desert.
From Patterns to Emerging Processes in Mechanistic Urban Ecology
Until recently, urban ecologists focused mainly on patterns of species abundance and diversity. Only in recent years has research progressed into mechanistic urban ecology, with studies (mostly experimental) on behavioral ecology, species interactions, genetics, and evolution.
Although this mechanistic approach is still in its infancy, it already indicates that the urban environment is a unique setting, in which fundamental patterns and processes can be decoupled by human activities. Thus, ecological "rules" in urban environments might differ dramatically from those in less human-influenced habitats. The tools used to understand these differences must also address the role of human behavior as a primary driving force of environmental change.
The North Desert Village Landscaping Experiment
In 2003, CAP LTER researchers started setting up a large-scale landscape experiment around student family housing on the Arizona State University Polytechnic Campus. The experiment is designed to give a platform for CAP LTER researchers to study human-landscape interactions as well as biogeochemistry and populations dynamics under controlled conditions.
Major research questions include:
How do landscape design and irrigation methods affect NPP and neighborhood microclimate, soil nutrient pools and fluxes, insect abundance and diversity, and bird activity?
How does landscape design affect direct human-landscape interactions in terms of both perceptions and behaviors?
Some Early Findings of the CAP LTER
Among the significant discoveries resulting from the first three years of Central Arizona – Phoenix LTER studies, three stand out for their scientific generality and potential social relevance.
Due to the urban location of the CAP LTER, the results of these studies and many others are of immediate service to society. Understanding the ecological changes that accompany new housing and urban sprawl will allow for more rational city planning, while knowledge of nutrient sources and sinks in the urban environmental will lead to more efficient construction of infrastructure.
The insights we are gaining on the nature of environmental risks and how they are differentially borne by citizens will enhance city planning and possibly an enhanced quality of life.

A choir of lady graduates from Smith College in the United States delighted Cuban audiences in Matanzas and Havana with pieces from the Italian baroque repertoire, during the two performances that made up its first visit to Cuba.
Conducted by maestro Jonathan Hirsh, the one-and-a-half hour long performances opened with Stabat Mater by Giovanni Battista Pergolessi (1710- 1736), and closed with Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741).
The first concert was on July 28 at the Church of San Pedro Apóstol in Matanzas, some 100 kilometers east of Havana, and the second one on July 29 at Havana's Teatro Nacional (National Theater) Covarrubias Hall.
Sharing the stage with choir were the Havana Chamber Orchestra, the Música Eterna Orchestra, and the male voices of the Cuban Exaudi, D´Profundis, Sine Nominus, the Schola Cantorum Coralina and Vocal Leo choirs and the Matanzas Chamber Orchestra.
The program featured the choir's overall highly interpretative quality and that of soprano Katie Lipow in particular, during seven solo performances and as a duet.
Hirsh told The Havana Reporter that teamwork between the U.S. and Cuban musicians had not been strained because, in addition to their dedication and prior knowledge of the works, the Cuban artists "are fabulous".
Hirsh added that "apart from their training, they were very open and warm.
This is the first time I have worked with musicians whose honest work makes them smile", and he also sang the praises of the Cuban public.
"I personally enjoy rehearsals more than concerts, because concerts are for the audience. This first trip to Cuba has far exceeded our expectations," the maestro commented.
Hirsh got his master's degree and PhD as choir director at the University of Michigan and completed his studies at Amberst College.
José Antonio Méndez Valencia, director of the Matanzas Choir said the visit "compliments those already made by U.S. choirs to our country this year".
"These represent significant exchanges between musicians and choral groups. This one in particular was very important for the performances of great universal choir repertoire works," he stressed.
Founded in 1871 in Northampton, Massachusetts, Smith College is one of the United States' largest universities, specializing in women's education.
Its choral program dates back to 1885, and its choirs have traveled to Europe and Central and South America.
The U.S. choir's visit was organized by the Music Institute, the Concert Music Center of Cuba and Classical Movements, an institution with 20 years of experience in coordinating musical groups tours to Cuba.

Kamal Haasan Is 'Spoiling' Families Through 'Bigg Boss': TN CM EPS
The CM took a jibe at Haasan, alleging he has joined politics after retiring from acting and does not know anything.
The News Minute
Updated: 18 Dec 2020, 10:55 AM IST
Hitting out at Makkal Needhi Maiam (MNM) leader Kamal Haasan and "Bigg Boss" Tamil, TN Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami alleged that the show hosted by the actor-politician for a private television channel will spoil families. The minister criticised the 66-year-old star, alleging he has joined politics recently after retiring from acting and does not know anything.
Palaniswami, who was addressing the press after conducting review meetings in Ariyalur, said, "He has joined a political party only recently after retiring. What does he know? He is 70 and he is hosting 'Bigg Boss'. What will happen if a man hosting 'Bigg Boss' enters politics? Not one family in the state will be good if they watch the show."
Kamal Haasan's Take on Alliances With Rajinikanth And Owaisi in TN
Only Taking Films To 'Spoil' the Family: TN CM
He went on to allege, saying: "He is not a man with an ambition to do good for the country but he just wants to spoil happy families. If you watch that show, even children and families will get spoilt."
Adding that the MNM leader can conduct shows on several welfare schemes that will be of help to the public, the CM went on to say, "Shows can be conducted on the Indian rivers interlinking project, Tamil Nadu green farm project, new technologies in farming...shows for the school students or releasing meaningful songs, like the former Chief Minister MG Ramachandran."
However, the Palaniswami quickly asked, "Did Kamal Haasan at least give one good song for the public? They (Kamal) are taking films that will only spoil the families.[sic.]" The swipe at Kamal comes after the actor-turned-politician attempted to stake claim on MGR's legacy, stating he grew up on the lap of the former CM and AIADMK founder.
Haasan To Contest 2021 Assembly Elections
EPS's criticism of Kamal Haasan also comes at a time when there is speculation of MNM forming a Third Front or an alliance with the DMK. The MNM leader recently announced that he will contest the Tamil Nadu Assembly Elections scheduled in 2021 and has started campaigning for his party. The actor-turned-politician also said that MNM is not getting permission for campaigning since the support for the party will increase due to the anti-incumbency in the state against the ruling party.

The Lords of Easy Money: How the Federal Reserve Broke the American Economy (Hardcover)
By Christopher Leonard
The Wall Street Journal Best Book of the Year
The New York Times bestselling business journalist Christopher Leonard infiltrates one of America's most mysterious institutions—the Federal Reserve—to show how its policies spearheaded by Chairman Jerome Powell over the past ten years have accelerated income inequality and put our country's economic stability at risk.
If you asked most people what forces led to today's unprecedented income inequality and financial crashes, no one would say the Federal Reserve. For most of its history, the Fed has enjoyed the fawning adoration of the press. When the economy grew, it was credited to the Fed. When the economy imploded in 2008, the Fed got credit for rescuing us.
But the Fed also has a unique power to reshape the American economy for the worse, which it did, fatefully, on November 4, 2010 through a radical intervention called quantitative easing. In just a few short years, the Fed more than quadrupled the money supply with one goal: to encourage banks and other investors to extend more risky debt. Leaders at the Fed knew that they were undertaking a bold experiment that would produce few real jobs, with long-term risks that were hard to measure. But the Fed proceeded anyway...and then found itself trapped. Once it printed all that money, there was no way to withdraw it from circulation. The Fed tried several times, only to see market start to crash, at which point the Fed turned the money spigot back on. That's what it did when COVID hit, printing 300 years' worth of money in two short months.
Which brings us to now: Ten years on, the gap between the rich and poor has grown dramatically, stock prices are trading far above what's justified by actual corporate profits, corporate debt in America is at an all-time high, and this debt is being traded by big banks on Wall Street, leaving them vulnerable—just as they were during the mortgage boom. Middle-class wages have barely budged in a decade, and consumers are buried under credit card debt, car loan debt, and student debt.
The Lords of Easy Money tells the shocking, riveting tale of how quantitative easing is imperiling the American economy through the story of the one man who tried to warn us. This will be the first inside story of how we really got here—and why we face a frightening future.
Christopher Leonard is a business reporter whose work has appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Fortune, and Bloomberg Businessweek. He is the New York Times bestselling author of The Meat Racket and Kochland, which won the J. Anthony Lukas Work-in-Progress Award.
"A fascinating page-turner....There's something undeniably gratifying about an elegantly crafted morality tale — and the business reporter Christopher Leonard has written a good one....A fascinating and propulsive story about the Federal Reserve — yes, you read that right. Leonard, in the tradition of Michael Lewis, has taken an arcane subject, rife with the risk of incomprehensibility (or boredom), and built a riveting narrative in which the stakes couldn't be any clearer."– The New York Times
"Skillfully tells the story of how, over several decades, a phalanx of economic sophisticates at the Fed have badly misunderstood the U.S. economy and often come up with policies that fail to produce the intended results." – The Wall Street Journal
"A timely addition—appearing just as inflation is making headlines....Leonard writes vividly about a technical subject....By focusing on a regional banker, Leonard offers a refreshingly non-Washington view....The author is surely correct that many Americans view the Fed as an unelected power aligned with elites, perhaps contributing to the disaffection that exploded on Jan. 6, 2021."– The Washington Post
"It's tough to turn the nuances of monetary policy into personality-driven narrative. But Christopher Leonard has succeeded in doing just that with The Lords of Easy Money....He turns [an] unassuming economist into the protagonist of a compelling tale about how the Federal Reserve changed the entire nature of the American economy... Weaving together narrative non-fiction with big ideas can be difficult. One of the best things about this book is that through Hoenig, Leonard, a business journalist, is able to tell the whole, complicated half-century story of how we got to where we are now in a way that isn't at all wonky. There are real people here, making real decisions about the real world." – The Financial Times
"[A] bracing and closely reported chronicle....Leonard's book is an indispensable account in many respects—his coverage of the invisible bailout of the repo market alone stands as a bracing case study in how the false pieties of quantitative easing directly stoked ruinous asset bubbles. But Leonard is also that rarest of financial reporters who conscientiously tracks the real-life consequences of the Olympian deliberations undertaken by the paper economy's gatekeepers....richly reported, accessible, biting, and long-overdue." – The New Republic
"The book is a timely read to understand what could happen next through a thorough analysis of what this policy intervention looks like on the ground."– Enterprise: The State of the Nation
"We get his point and it is a good one. This has been an era of loose money and the benefits have been very unevenly distributed... The office politics of the Fed are well captured by Leonard, as is the intimidating physical setting." – The New York Times
"Leonard is skilled at explaining complicated financial maneuvering in a way normal people can understand... A good reminder of how uncertain a lot of monetary policy is." – The Washington Free Beacon
"Brillian[t]... [Leonard] is onto a deeper and much more astute critique....His analysis of the dynamics and consequences of Wall Street–friendly easy Fed money is original and important." – The American Prospect
"Leonard's wonderfully readable new book is about one of the most important, yet least covered and least understood, changes in American life. That's the effect of the dramatically increased role in financial markets played by the Federal Reserve. As Leonard convincingly argues, it might be nothing short of catastrophic." — Bethany McLean, New York Times bestselling co-author of The Smartest Guys in the Room
"An essential, engrossing and, above all, human tale featuring the central banker who dared to dissent from the party line and a factory worker whose sufferings are traceable to that dissident's failure to carry his case. A monetary page-turner? Christopher Leonard has actually produced one." — James Grant, founder and editor of Interest Rate Observer
"Thanks to Leonard's gripping narrative, I now have a new monetary hero: former Fed governor Tom Hoenig. If, like me, you are desperate to understand how we got into this predicament, The Lords of Easy Money is required reading." — William D. Cohan, New York Times bestselling author of House of Cards
"Leonard's richly reported and provocative exploration will have you reassessing whether the Fed built on a solid foundation or on air."— Jesse Eisinger, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Chickenshit Club
"An eye-opener. Well-researched and engaging, it brings to life consequential issues that influence the current and future wellbeing of most Americans... How this journey ends has important implications not just for the United States but also globally." — Mohamed A. El-Erian, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Game in Town and president of Queens' College, Cambridge University.
"A timely and persuasive challenge to the Fed's new economic orthodoxy…. Leonard shrewdly dissects the policy wrangles roiling the Fed behind its facade of technocratic consensus—he presents a sharp riposte to glowing accounts of former Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's leadership—while offering a trenchant analysis of how the Fed controls and misshapes the economy….[a] probing history."— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The federal banking system has built a house of cards, Leonard cogently warns. Expect it to fall any minute now." — Kirkus Reviews
"Leonard strives to present the issues clearly but without oversimplification….the patient reader comes away with a greater understanding of economic issues that are affecting everyone's lives." — Booklist

On March 20th a group of enthusiastic Spring Breakers met at DIA to catch a red-eye flight to the beautiful Caribbean destination of Cayman Brac. After a day of travel, the group arrived at the Cayman Brac Reef Beach Resort, checked into their rooms, had an early dinner, and headed off to bed to dream of the upcoming days spent under water amongst the wonders of the ocean.
The next six days would be spent enjoying the valet dive service while diving off the Ocean Sister with Dive-Master's Steve & Garret. Most days were 3 dive days, starting with a deep dive on one of Brac's famous walls, followed by several shallower dives in the surrounding coral gardens teeming with schooling fish. Highlights of the week included two night dives (first night dive for many of the guests), diving the Russian Frigate "Keith Tibbits" (first wreck dive for many guests), and a trip over to Little Cayman to dive the famous Bloody Bay Wall. Congratulations is in order to Kelly Lucy for completing his Advanced Open Water during the trip as well as completing his 100th dive!
On land, the resort took good care of us all week with some amazing meals and scheduled nightly activities, ending the week with an island BBQ and live music. The Weaver's trivia team "Porpoise of Life" headed by Davis Rudge, age 13, won the weekly trivia contest, sweeping aside the other competitors with ease.
After a week of perfect weather and calm seas, we awoke on departure day to rain. We had timed our trip perfectly and it was time to head home and start thinking about where to go diving next. Thank you all for joining me on this year's Spring Break Trip to Cayman Brac! Jeff or "Jeef" to those of you on the trip.

M Zenati, AJ Duncan, GJ Burckart, M Schaper, SA Yousem, BP Griffith, and D Casarotto. 1991. "Immunosuppression with aerosolized cyclosporine for prevention of lung rejection in a rat model." Eur J Cardiothorac Surg, 5, 5, Pp. 266-71; discussion 272.Abstract
The efficacy of local delivery of aerosol cyclosporine (CsA) for prevention of lung rejection was compared with the intramuscular route (IM) in a fully allogeneic rat model (BN/LEW) of lung transplantation (LTx). Control rats (group 1, n = 6) received no CsA after LTx. Rats in group 2 (n = 10) received 4 doses of CsA in olive oil (25 mg/kg) intramuscularly starting on postoperative day (POD) 0. Group 3 (n = 9) was treated with aerosolized CsA for 3 h/day for 7 days starting on POD 0. All animals were sacrificed on POD 6. Transplanted lungs were graded histologically in a blind manner on a 0-4 scale. Control animals all showed grade 4 rejection. i.m. CsA therapy reduced lung rejection with a rejection grade of 1.8 +/- 0.35 (mean +/- SD) but was associated with a 50% incidence of pneumonia. Aerosol CsA provided better control of rejection with a rejection grade of 1.2 +/- 0.4 (group 3 vs. group 2: P less than 0.05 Wilcoxon) and none of these animals had penumonia. Trough blood levels of CsA were significantly lower in the group treated with aerosolized CsA when compared with the IM group (P less than 0.05). Therefore we conclude that: (1) aerosol CsA is effective in preventing lung allograft rejection following lung transplantation in rats, and (2) local delivery of aerosol CsA is superior to the i.m. route because better control of rejection is achieved with a lower systemic delivery of CsA.

Current systemic immunosuppressive regimens are unable to prevent lung allograft rejection consistently and are associated with significant morbidity and death. Acute rejection has occurred in 40% and chronic rejection in 50% of our lung recipients. We hypothesized that regional immunotherapy with aerosolized cyclosporine would prevent or reduce lung allograft rejection while allowing for low systemic drug delivery. In a canine model of unilateral lung allotransplantation, aerosolized cyclosporine was delivered directly to the allograft. Acute rejection was prevented or reduced in all treated recipients. All control animals had severe acute rejection. Intragraft cyclosporine concentration was high and systemic drug delivery was low, as evidenced by low whole-blood cyclosporine levels and low tissue cyclosporine levels in skeletal muscle. Ninety-five percent of whole-blood trough cyclosporine levels were less than 150 ng/ml. Aerosolized cyclosporine was able to prevent or reduce acute pulmonary rejection and resulted in minimal systemic drug delivery.

Disruption of the aorta at the anastomotic site occurred in 4 of 66 consecutive heart-lung transplant recipients and was associated with a 100% mortality. In 3 of these patients, Candida either was cultured from the suture line or was seen in the wall of the aorta at postmortem examination. In 2 of these 3 patients, cultures of material from the donor trachea taken at the time of explanation grew Candida species. Two patients were seen with sudden massive hemorrhage on postoperative day 26 and postoperative day 28. One patient experienced acute decompensation due to right ventricular outflow tract obstruction on postoperative day 30, and the remaining patient was seen 7 months postoperatively with obstruction of both the left main bronchus and the right pulmonary artery caused by extrinsic compression by an aortic pseudoaneurysm. A high index of suspicion should be maintained when transplanting lungs containing Candida species, as we believe there is substantial evidence of donor transmission of the fungal agents. We now include amphotericin B in our antibiotic prophylactic regimen in an attempt to prevent fungal infection because previous treatment has been uniformly unsuccessful. Furthermore, we wrap both the trachea and the aorta with omentum to lessen the likelihood of mediastinal spread of infection to the aortic suture line.

Long-term survival in heart-lung transplantation has ben hindered by the development of bronchiolitis obliterans (OB), which is believed to be a manifestation of chronic rejection of the lung. Since HLA-class II antigens are involved in the rejection response, the distribution of the class II products HLA-DR, HLA-DQ, and HLA-DP were studied in normal lung, and in transplanted lung with and without OB, utilizing frozen-section immunohistochemical techniques. All three allelic products are usually expressed on the epithelial, endothelial, and mesenchymal components of the lung. Sequential transbronchial biopsies from 4 recipients before and concurrent with the diagnosis of OB were stained with serial dilutions of monoclonal antibodies to assess the level of expression of the above class II products. Increased levels of HLA-DR and HLA-DP antigens may be seen on the bronchial and bronchiolar epithelium during OB, but the changes are subtle and complicated by many other variables. Additional studies are needed to confirm these preliminary results.

Infection of the lung allograft is the greatest cause of morbidity and mortality after heart-lung transplantation. To better understand the pathogenesis of these infections, we compared the results from cultures of the donor tracheas with the type and prevalence of early intrathoracic infections in the recipients. In the last 37 recipients, intrathoracic infections occurred within 2 weeks of operation in 16 (43%). Organisms isolated from the donor tracheal cultures were different from those associated with early infections, except for three of four recipients with heavy growth of Candida in donor tracheal cultures, in whom fatal invasive candidiasis developed caused by the same species of Candida isolated from the donor culture. Comparisons were made between recipients with (n = 16) and without early infection (n = 21) for age of donors and recipients, ischemic time, length of donor stay in an intensive care unit, donor arterial oxygen pressure, duration of recipient intubation, sterile donor tracheal culture or culture with presence of mouth flora, bacterial pathogens, or Candida, method of lung preservation, and antibiotic prophylaxis of donor. The only factor significantly associated with the onset of early infection was the presence of mouth flora in the donor tracheal culture (p = 0.004, Fisher's exact test, two sided). Multiple logistic regression was performed to test the additional contribution of other covariates after adjusting for the presence of mouth flora. None of the other covariates contributed to the occurrence of early infection. Recipients with early infection had a significantly lower survival compared with those without early infection (p = 0.04) by the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

The psychological and relational problems present in pediatric patients with congenital cardiac anomalies and in their families are reviewed based on an analysis of the current literature and on the personal experience of the authors. The need for all caretakers, especially the cardiologist and the cardiac surgeon, to be aware of these critical aspects is emphasized. The psychological experience of the patient and of his family is thoroughly addressed. Moreover, the complex relationship that developed between the family and the physician as a result of the family's expectations, requests and unconscious projections are discussed.
BP Griffith and M Zenati. 1990. "The pulmonary donor." Clin Chest Med, 11, 2, Pp. 217-26.Abstract
This article discusses the Pittsburgh experience with the pulmonary donor and provides guidelines for the maintenance and selection of appropriate donor lungs. Criteria for the selection of the pulmonary donor include absence of radiographic abnormality, minimal ventilation-perfusion mismatch, and an absence of identifiable infection. Because early thoracic infections result in a high mortality, donors are excluded if white cells, fungi, or bacteria are noted in samples obtained from tracheal aspirates or bronchoscopic examination. A number of techniques for the procurement of donor lungs are currently satisfactory and include core cooling with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass and different hypothermic pulmonary artery flush solutions. Other clinical preservation techniques are discussed, including autoperfusion and the use of blood-based pulmoplegia and University of Wisconsin storage solution. Because so much of the outcome following pulmonary allografting is based on the quality of the donor lungs, much of the future direction in pulmonary transplantation must be directed toward a continuing investigation of better methods for selection and maintenance of the donor and ex vivo preservation.

A total of 351 cardiac transplantations performed between June 1, 1980, and Sept. 30, 1987, were reviewed to determine if infectious complications were more frequent in those patients requiring preoperative intravenous inotropic support, placement of an intraaortic balloon pump, or mechanical support with a left ventricular assist device or total artificial heart. One hundred forty-nine transplants (45%) were performed in these mortally ill patients. There was no statistically significant difference between patients with and without infection within each support group for the following: the number of in-patient days awaiting a donor heart, the number of days receiving support, the percent of patients with preoperative tracheal intubation, the length of the operation, and the percent of patients requiring reoperation for bleeding. The need for invasive methods of support (intraaortic balloon pump, left ventricular assist device, or total artificial heart) in patients awaiting heart transplantation increases the prevalence of perioperative nonviral infection. Preoperative mechanical support with a left ventricular assist device or total artificial heart significantly increases the risk of infection-related mortality.

Heart-lung transplantation is a surgical alternative for patients with end-stage lung disease with associated right heart failure. While the procedure is very promising, the morbidity and mortality remain high. The current understanding of the proper selection of candidates, procurement and preservation of donor organs, operative procedure and postoperative care continues to evolve. At the University of Pittsburgh, 70 heart-lung transplantations have been performed since 1982. Early infection and chronic rejection are the major factors influencing survival. Early (less than 2 weeks) intrathoracic infection occurred in 43% of heart-lung transplant recipients, with pneumonia being the most frequent infection. The incidence of pneumonia in heart-lung transplant recipients is twice that in a comparable group of heart recipients. Subclinical pneumonitis in the donor lung, abnormal muco-ciliary clearance and altered allogenic response in the transplanted lung are significant factors associated with the increased incidence of early infections. Chronic rejection, manifested as bronchiolitis obliterans, has occurred in 54% of heart-lung transplantation recipients. Infection caused by cytomegalovirus, Epstein-Barr virus and Pneumocystis carinii have been shown to increase the incidence of bronchiolitis obliterans, as have episodes of acute rejection. Recent reports of a 61% 2-year survival rate represent a substantial improvement over earlier trials. With a better understanding of the pathogenesis of infection in the transplanted lung as well as improved immunosuppressive agents, further improvements in survival can be expected.
M Zenati, RD Dowling, JM Armitage, RL Kormos, JS Dummer, RL Hardesty, and BP Griffith. 1989. "Organ procurement for pulmonary transplantation." Ann Thorac Surg, 48, 6, Pp. 882-6.Abstract
Selection of suitable donors is critical to the success of clinical pulmonary transplantation. Requirements for lung donors, management before explantation, and methods of preservation were reviewed for the 70 heart-lung, eight double-lung, and two single-lung transplantations performed at the University of Pittsburgh since 1982. Careful observation of trends of hyperoxygenation studies, chest roentgenograms, and Gram stain and culture results of tracheal secretions, as well as findings on bronchoscopy, can help identify which lungs not only have adequate function but are acceptable for transplantation. In spite of the rigid criteria used, 76% of tracheal cultures from donors deemed acceptable grew organisms. The presence of oropharyngeal flora has been shown to correlate with the development of early intrathoracic infections in the recipient. Prophylactic broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment of the donor is desirable to treat microbial contamination that could cause focal injury to the donor lung and predispose to infection in the recipient. Acceptance of less than ideal donors is ill-advised even though rejection of such donors conflicts with the current shortage of organs.

M Zenati, D Morelli, A Fabbri, and D Casarotto. 1988. "[Elements for an analysis of psychosocial indicators and psychological intervention in heart transplantation]." G Ital Cardiol, 18, 6, Pp. 479-84.Abstract
It is now accepted that cardiac transplantation is a viable therapeutic alternative for patients with end-stage heart disease. The most recent data offer a favourable short and medium term prognosis. Retrospective studies suggest that transplantation is associated with a good quality of life and tolerance of the side effects of the medication. Even if cardiac transplantation does not appear to be associated with serious psychological morbidity, it is important to assess the recipient's anxiety, depression, body image and his subjective quality of life, including satisfaction with his family and marital life, to prevent postoperative psychologic distress and enhance the patient's coping abilities. The family is the patient's chief buffer against stress but it is also under stress and needs to be aided through this process. The psychosocial themes that appear prominently at the different stages of the transplant process are somewhat predictable. These can be used to help the patient and family anticipate stress and deal with these issues in a way that enhances mastery of a difficult situation. The heart transplant team faces difficult ethical issues regarding patient selection and informed consent. Public input on these issues is needed, especially since more patients elect to receive heart transplants and the donor supply is likely to remain the same, thereby making donor hearts less available to those who could derive benefit from them.

Pulmonary Sequestration is a congenital anomaly rarely seen in the pediatric age. Clinical manifestations commonly appear with a respiratory symptomatology and less frequently with cardiac signs especially in the case of an associated congenital heart disease. In the presented case, isolated Pulmonary Sequestration manifested itself as a congestive heart failure, and a diastolic overloading of the left ventricle. After surgical removal of the Sequestration was demonstrated a normalization of both clinical and haemodynamic findings.


It was a sold out auditorium for the 7th annual Canyon Crest Academy Envision Cinema MiniCine Fest. Twenty films were showcased as part of the annual production. The 48-Hour Film Festival, as it's also referenced, has grown in size every year, according to CCA Envision Cinema Coordinator Mark Raines.
"When it first started it was a really small event with a limited group of kids only open to students here at CCA and now it's grown into something where students throughout the entire school district can participate in," Raines said.
The two film festival categories included the Judges' Choice Award won by the film "The Dreamer" with Tyler Jones and Quincy Smith. The Audience Choice Award went to the film "The Final Component" with Melanie An, Angela Melugin and Katie Sheng.

Just two episodes into The Promised Neverland and I already know this show won't be good for my heart. Tension, shocks, and heartache seem to be the recipe for this seasonal anime. Following last week's twist ending, we join Norman and Emma as they begin to hatch their escape plan, but can this dynamic duo escape the ever-watchful eye of Big Mother? Let's jump into Episode 2 of The Promised Neverland!
After the revelations in the last episode, Norman and Emma have to keep their cool in front of Mother and the other children. Emma struggles with this in particular, angry at Mother's blasé attitude, but forces a smile on her face. While maintaining their cover, the duo also begins working on the beginnings of an escape plan. But the deeper they look into their lives and the world built around them, the more they realise how much surveillance they are under. A game of wits begins as Mother's suspicions arise, so let the mind games start between the captor and the captives!
Mind Games: With enough intrigue and suspicion to rival a spy film, Episode 2 was filled with moments of 'chicken' and masked smiling faces. I'm really impressed by the maturity of Norman and Emma to keep their wits about them, but also at times I just wanted to grab them and tell them to stop doing what they're doing. Especially that moment when Emma starts talking about Conny – talk about walking a tightrope!
To Protect that Smile: Norman's declaration that he would stand by Emma's decision because he loved her, was a surprising one to say the least. It seems he's willing to sacrifice anything and everything as long as Emma is happy and this may prove to be quite treacherous in later episodes.
Hush Little Baby: The introduction of a new addition to the family spells trouble for the escape plan. Escape plans are hard enough without having to care for an infant which just goes to show exactly how cunning Mother really is – she knows that Emma would never leave the baby behind, and also knows escape is impossible with the baby.
Love, Love, and more Love: It's really interesting to see the different ways love has been represented in this series, from Emma's familial love and Norman's romantic to Mother's fake. It'll be interesting if 'true' love triumphs in this series or whether it just becomes a liability.
Boat of Mud: As Ray tells Emma and Norman, their plan is like 'a boat made of mud'. He's essentially telling them that their plan will never work. But, Norman quickly counters by telling him that, 'if you bake mud, it'll become a vessel': put anyone under enough pressure and they can achieve anything.
Dates: This week's episode was set the day after the first episode. It'll be interesting to see in future episodes if there are time skips, as the characters will need to escape within two months.
As I said at the beginning of this article, this series won't be good for my heart. I absolutely adore our three main characters and their trust and care for one another. But what has really stood out in this episode was their bravery. No one could blame Emma and Norman for bursting into tears at the sight of Mother, but they, somehow, managed to keep it together. Emma in particular had a great show of strength, even hugging Mother and telling her that she loved her – what an incredible scene that was! I'm really looking forward to how these interesting and smart characters will be developed.
But, as smart as these kids are, they really aren't good at sneaking around. I'm not sure if this was on purpose or just a design flaw, but their sneaking just wasn't very realistic nor sensible. In one scene Emma and Norman are in a corridor conspiring in the middle of the night, and they don't even whisper, I was so worried someone would pop their head out of a room! In another scene, the two of them sneak into a storage room, but one of them should have stood guard outside in case Mother shows up randomly. Worse of all is that after knowing that Mother has a tracking device, they continue to hang out at the wall. There's just gotta be a smarter way to go about all of this!
Promised Neverland is shaping up to be a show with great characters, tension, and pacing. There's not much else you can ask for, and I'm very impressed with the way this anime is progressing. I do hope in future that some of the sneaking around is shown a bit more realistically, mainly if the characters don't loudly chat about escaping in the middle of the night!! But for now, let's hope that Norman, Ray, and Emma have a decent enough plan to begin making their boat out of mud.
During the wait for next week's episode make sure to check out the MANGA.TOKYO team's other episodic reviews for Winter 2019! You can find the full list of them over here.

Q: Create automatically temperature or isotherms map with PostGIS? Is there any possibility to create automatically temperature or isotherms map through a points table stored in PostGIS?
I need to serve this map on a web (Geoserver). The information is updated each hour and I need to have the map updated as well.

A: For that kind of task you can use the rendering transformations of geoserver.They allow set a SLD style that uses some predefined WPS process to style your layers.
Boundless has an example that fits pretty well in your case, it shows how to chain a Barnes Surface process with a Contour process to generate a contour map of estimated average temperatures.

Grant Enfinger led a race-high 40 laps en route to his win of the World of Westgate 200 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Friday night, a race that was scheduled for 134 laps but was extended by 10 extra laps by three overtimes.
The Vegas race was the second race of the first three-race round of the 2018 Truck Series playoffs, so with the win, Enfinger joined Canadian Tire Motorsport Park race winner Justin Haley in having playoff survival secured beyond the opening round that will conclude next month at Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway.
GMS Racing and ThorSport Racing drivers combined to take the top-five positions in the finishing order, with GMS Racing drivers Johnny Sauter and Haley finishing second and third to ThorSport's Enfinger. Enfinger's teammates Ben Rhodes and Matt Crafton rounded out the top-five.
Crafton and Rhodes' top-five finishes came after starting the race in the back because of unapproved changes to their trucks before the race.
Brett Moffitt was the race leader throughout the three overtime restarts, but on the final one, he ran out of fuel. He still managed to finish on the lead lap in 11th.
The 11 caution flags that marred the race fell one yellow shy of matching the LVMS track record.
Noah Gragson started on the pole and led the first 33 laps of the race, including winning the opening 30-lap stage of the race. By the checkered flag, though, he was in the back of the top-20 in 18th.
Enfinger won the second stage that concluded on lap 60. Early in the stage, he battled Stewart Friesen for the lead, but on lap 50, Enfinger took over the top spot and maintained it for the remaining 10 laps of the second 30-lap stage.
Enfinger was challenged by Friesen and Rhodes for the lead before lap 100, but Sauter took the lead just before a caution on lap 100. Sauter was challenged by Crafton for several laps before Moffitt took the race lead on lap 124. Friesen was involved in multiple late-race cautions and wound up with a 17th-place finish.
Other top-10 finishers included Myatt Snider in sixth, Ross Chastain in seventh, Austin Theriault in eighth, Austin Wayne Self ninth, and Chris Eggleston in 10th.

Success Stories from Biographies like Stephen Humphrey Bogart


The primary purpose for a university is the increase and propagation of knowledge. Its structure expresses the fundamental unity of knowledge, finding its fullest expression in interdisciplinary interactions, such as that between science and religion.
The Academy needs to give attention both to the structure of the physical world (science) and to human claims of encounter with the dimension of the sacred (religion).
Science's method is subtle, involving an inescapable circularity as theory interprets experiments confirm or disconfirm theories. The element of surprise in experimental exploration, and the element of long-term fruitfulness in theoretical explanation, combine to support the realist claim that science attains valid accounts of the nature of physical reality.
Science purchases its great success by the modesty of its ambition. It does not seek to ask and answer every question, confining itself to asking how things happen and bracketing out questions of meaning and purpose. It considers only objective and impersonal experience, but a full understanding of reality requires also considering the realm of personal experience. It is necessary, therefore, to look beyond science if we are to gain the comprehensive understanding which must be aim of the true university.
Science has discovered that the physical world is deeply intelligible, so that we can understand not only everyday processes, but also the subatomic world of quantum theory and the cosmic domain of curved spacetime. It is mathematical beauty which proves to be the guide to discovery in these counterintuitive regimes. Religion can understand these facts as the discovery of the divine Mind behind creation.
Religion is not based on belief merely held on the basis of unquestionable authority, but it is concerned with truth attained through motivated belief. This is the basis for the claim of theology to be a part of the Academy.
Science tells theology about the structure of the universe and what its history has been like. The physical fabric of the world had to take a very specific 'fine-tuned' form to allow carbon-based life to be possible. The potentiality thus present has been brought to birth in actuality through evolutionary processes taking place 'at the edge of chaos', where order and disorder intertwine.
Theology can interpret and understand these insights, which science by itself has to treat simply as brute facts. The deep intelligibility of the universe and its fine-tuned fruitfulness are signs that it is divine creation. The exploratory processes of evolution, by which creatures 'make themselves', are divine gifts of a due freedom to creation. The necessity for these processes to operate at the edge of chaos offers theology some help as it wrestles with the perplexities of suffering and death.
The interaction between science and theology, properly hosted by the Academy, offers deeper understanding than could be attained through either discipline on its own.

The Bend Phillies were a minor league baseball team located in Bend, Oregon. The Phillies were members of the Class A Short Season Northwest League from 1979 to 1986. Prior to 1981 the team was named the Central Oregon Phillies.

History
Professional baseball returned to Bend with the expansion of the Northwest League in 1978. The franchise was named the Timber Hawks and affiliated with the Oakland Athletics. Timber Hawks owner Doug Emmans relocated the Timber Hawks south to Medford following the 1978. Upon relocating the club became the Medford Athletics as they continued their relationship with Oakland. Bend would not be without baseball long as Gene Davis obtained the rights for a new franchise. The club signed a player development contract with the Philadelphia Phillies and adopted their parent club's nickname paired with a regional moniker to be known as the Central Oregon Phillies.

The Phillies had a banner year in their inaugural season. The team posted a league best record 43-28 en route to a south division title. Central Oregon defeated north division winner Walla Walla in the league championship series 2-1 to claim the Northwest League crown.
After the 1980 season Gene Davis sold the franchise to Portland businessman Jack Cain. In addition the sale, the club changed its name from Central Oregon to Bend. Jack Cain eventually became the president of the Northwest League and in an effort to avoid a conflict of interest he transferred ownership to his wife, Mary. In 1985 owner Jack Cain had contemplated changing the nickname to "Beavers", but ultimately decided against the switch.

The Phillies were unable to match the success of their first campaign of 1979. Following the 1986 season the Philadelphia Phillies ended their affiliation with the club. The decision was largely a result of Philadelphia's desire to move its minor league teams closer to the East Coast. Like Bend, the Phillies severed ties with their Triple-A affiliate Portland of the Pacific Coast League. Professional baseball remained in Bend with the Bend Bucks beginning play as an independent team 1987 before securing a player development contract with the California Angels.

Ballpark
The Phillies played at Vince Genna Stadium located in Bend, Oregon.

President calls for exploiting environment friendly sources of energy to meet domestic demand
President Dr. Arif Alvi has stressed the need for exploiting environment friendly sources of energy to meet the domestic demand.
Addressing Renewable Energy Summit in Islamabad on Thursday, he said the country needs energy that does not add to the global warming as well as reduce its reliance on imported fuel.
The President expressed satisfaction that the government plans to increase the share of renewable energy to twenty percent by 2025 and thirty percent by 2030.
He pointed out that the cost of renewable energy is going down. He, however, said that Pakistan must also manufacture solar panels domestically as the country cannot afford the import cost.
He said investment in renewable energy can be encouraged by offering incentives to the industries and entrepreneurs.
He said building of dams also provides cheap source of energy. He said we need energy for ensuring development in the future therefore, there is need to refrain from wasting the energy.
The President also emphasized for fully utilizing the enormous coal reserves discovered in Tharparkar.
Speaking on the occasion, Special Assistant on Petroleum Nadeem Babar said the incumbent government launched reform program in the energy sector.
He said we will soon have sixty-three percent clean energy in our system, out of which there will be thirty percent renewable and thirty-three percent hydel energy.
He said we are working with full commitment in this regard. He said availability of affordable and cheap electricity to the masses is foremost priority of the government.
