Background The oxidized-LDL receptor LOX-1 takes on a crucial part in atherosclerosis. co-localized with specific cell types apoptosis and MMP9 manifestation using freezing aortic sections. SPECT/CT imaging of the LOX-1 probe showed aortic arch hotspots in Apo E?/? mice (n=8) confirmed by phosphor imaging. MRI showed significant Gd enhancement in atherosclerotic plaques in LDLR?/? mice with the LOX-1 (n=7) but not nIgG probe (n=5). No transmission enhancement was observed in LDLR?/?/LOX-1?/? Avasimibe mice injected with LOX-1 probe (n=5). These results were confirmed by fluorescence imaging. The LOX-1 probe bound preferentially to the plaque shoulder a region with vulnerable plaque features including considerable LOX-1 manifestation macrophage build up apoptosis and MMP9 manifestation. Conclusions LOX-1 can be used like a target for molecular imaging of atherosclerotic plaque and used this technique to detect and assess atherosclerotic plaque using SPECT/CT and MRI. Materials and Methods Imaging probe Liposomes consisted of 1 2 Lipids Alabaster AL) cholesterol (Sigma) N-hydroxysuccinimide ester of carboxy-PEG3400-DSPE (Shearwater Polymers) and DiI (Invitrogen) in the mass percentage of 50:25:25:1. For MRI studies diethylenetriaminepentaacetic Avasimibe acid α ω-bis (8-stearoylamido-3 6 gadolinium complex (Sigma) was added at 1:1 mass percentage with phosphatidylcholine. Lipids were dissolved in chloroform and subjected to rotary evaporation inside a glass vial under vacuum to create a thin uniform coating of dry lipid within the glass surface. Citrate buffer (10mM pH 4.4) was quickly added combination agitated to prepare multilamellar liposomes and then rapidly passed through a Avasimibe 100 nm filter 40 times using a Liposofast device (Avestin). Liposomes (~100 nm in size) were immediately mixed with LOX-1 or nonspecific IgG antibody (R&D Systems 250 μg in 10 mM HEPES buffer pH 8.0) Avasimibe overnight at 4°C so that covalent coupling between the protein aminogroup and activated carboxyl of PEG-lipid would occur. The compounds were subjected to ultracentrifugation at 45 0 rpm (50Ti rotor Beckman Coulter ultracentrifuge) for 30 min to remove free antibodies. Finally the immunoliposome pellets (probes) were dispersed in PBS buffer. For 111In labeling liposomes carried a trace amount of DTPA-phosphatidylethanolamine. The liposome preparations were mixed with 111In (Perkin Elmer Existence Sciences) in acetate buffer (0.5 M pH 6.0) for 2 hrs at room temperature and then filtered by a single passage through a Sephadex G50 gel column under centrifugation at 1000 g for 1 min. The imaging probe consisted of liposomes decorated with anti-LOX-1 antibody (LOX-1 probe) or non-specific nIgG (nIgG probe) 111 (SPECT) or Gadolinium (MRI) and DiI fluorescence markers. Dot blot analysis LOX-1 antigen (R&D system) (200 ng) was placed on a nitrocellulose membrane dried and clogged with 3% BSA for 1 hr. The membranes were incubated with serial dilutions (0.06 to 4 nM LOX-1 antibody concentrations) of 111In-liposome-LOX-1-Ab-DiI at space temp for 2 hrs and then exposed to a phosphor imaging plate for 90 min followed by gamma well counting of each dot. Solid phase binding assay LOX-1 antigen (200 ng in 0.1 ml PBS) was placed into each well Rabbit Polyclonal to ATF1. of a standard 96-well ELISA plate overnight washed with PBS and then blocked with 3% BSA for 1 hr. Serial dilutions (0.1 to 14 nM LOX-1 antibody concentrations) of Gd-liposome-LOX-1-Ab-DiI were added to each well and incubated at space temp for 2 hrs. The plate Avasimibe was washed with PBS 4 instances. Fluorescence intensity of antigen-bound liposomes was identified having a microplate reader (Gemini Avasimibe XS Molecular Products). A control probe experiment with Gd-liposome-nIgG-DiI was performed in parallel to evaluate nonspecific binding. Animal protocol The University or college of Virginia of Animal Care and Use Committee authorized all animal experiments. ApoE ?/? mice were placed on Western diet (Harlan) for over 20 weeks and utilized for SPECT/CT imaging. Mice were anesthetized with isoflurane and injected intravenously with 150 μL of LOX-1 or nIgG probe with ~600 μCi of 111In. SPECT/CT imaging was performed 24 hrs after injection followed by aortic excision. Aortas (n=6) were either longitudinally opened and exposed to phosphor imaging plate for 90 min followed by Sudan IV staining to identify atherosclerotic lesions or they were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde over night and sent to the UVA Core Pathology Laboratory for analysis of frozen.

Bowzer's Rock 'N' Doo-Wop Party playing Mohegan
Jon "Bowzer" Bauman of Sha Na Na fame
Bowzer's Rock-N-Doo-Wop Party at Mohegan Sun Arena, 1 Mohegan Sun Blvd., Uncasville, on Jan. 19 at 3 p.m. $25-$35, 860-226-7711 and mohegansun.com.
It's important to remember that Sha-Na-Na appeared at Woodstock. Yes, the doo-wop revivalists took the stage at the utopian hippie blowout. You should watch the video. It may be one of the more mind-blowing performances from that famous three-day festival — gold-lamé suits, synchronized choreography, greaser chic, ahead-of-its-time gender fluidity, multi-ethnic diversity, super-fast boogie grooves and a blur of vocal harmonies.
That music was already deeply nostalgic in 1969, pointing back to the 1950s, street-corner vocal groups, an American mash-up of gospel quartet singing, romantic crooners, barbershop bonhomie, and the bubble-gum frivolity of pop. It's like the musical equivalent of a cheeseburger, which is another way of saying it's fast, cheap and satisfying. They were signaling a connection to a bygone generation of artists like Dion & the Belmonts or Connecticut's Five Satins, but they also showed a kinship for the theatrical stagecraft that would energize acts like Queen and the Village People.
Jon "Bowzer" Bauman, in addition to being a performer known for having been in Sha-Na-Na, is an activist, and he's spoken out about how the music of the '50s let to the social changes of the '60s. (Bauman, born in Brooklyn, studied classical music as a kid, and attended Juilliard and Columbia University, lest you make any assumptions about his streetwise persona.) But he'll be coming to Connecticut in his capacity as a singer and MC, bringing his Doo-Whop Party, which features numerous doo-wop artists and early rock 'n' rollers.

For what occasion did the disciples prepare in a friend's guest room?
The Passover.
Victory at All Costs?
Graemme J Marshall
What could be more important than winning? Two American football players sprang high off the ground trying to catch the ball in midair. The teenagers collided and fell to the ground in a tumble of arms and legs. Before one could get up, he felt punches and his opponent trying to knee him in the groin. As the attacker jumped up to continue the game, the victim slowly got to his feet, uninjured, but perplexed. Why was he punching me? he thought. For the first time in his sporting career he was learning that there are widely different attitudes in playing sports. It was the football tryout for a state team.

REBEL "NOGAI BATTALION" SPURS RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES TO OFFER ASSISTANCE TO NOGAI MINORITY
Publication: Eurasia Daily Monitor Volume: 3 Issue: 177
By: Andrei Smirnov
September 26, 2006 04:00 AM Age: 16 years
"The leaders of bandit formations plan to carry out several terrorist acts in several republics of the North Caucasus," Dagestan's interior minister, Adilgirei Magomedtagirov, told journalists on September 14. But despite the broad statement by Magomedtagirov, who has fully recovered from a recent attempt on his life (see EDM, August 10), security officials are primarily focusing on Dagestan.
Magomedtagirov's remarks came one day after an urgent meeting of Dagestan's Anti-Terrorist Center in Makhachkala, the regional capital. He explained that this urgent meeting was needed because of new intelligence suggesting that the North Caucasus insurgents are preparing for an attack. Magomedtagirov added that checkpoints would be set up around Dagestani cities and villages to ward off rebel units. In addition, a group of Russian generals from the Russian Interior Ministry and the military command of the interior forces came to Dagestan to train local security chiefs (RIA-Novosti-Dagestan, September 14).
According to RIA-Novosti, officials believe the cities of Makhachkala, Buinaksk, and Khasavyurt are the most likely targets for a rebel attack, while Dagestani districts such as Untsukul, Buinaksk, Khasavyurt, Karabudakhent, or Nogai are areas where the rebels could concentrate their forces in advance of an attack. These areas comprise half of Dagestan's territory, and it will not be easy to watch them all at the same time.
The news agency also reported that Nogai district, an area in northern Dagestan where the Nogai minority lives, was singled out for particularly close supervision. Law-enforcement officials have intelligence suggesting that militants from the rebel "Nogai Battalion," under the command of Takhir Bataev, are concentrating their forces in Nogai district (RIA-Novosti-Dagestan, September 14). According to Radio Liberty, all Nogai villages in the republic are surrounded by police and army special-task units, and more troops are en route to the district (Radio Liberty, September 15).
The Nogai people are the remnants of a once-large ethnic group that settled around Stavropol krai, Dagestan, and Chechnya. The Nogai-populated areas are the most backward and undeveloped in the European part of Russia. Nogai villages lack central heating, gas pipelines, telephones, and hospitals. At the beginning of 2006 the Nogai region was not even covered by a cell-phone network. Prior to recent events, there were few people in Moscow, apart from some historians, who even remembered that the Nogai existed. The people had been virtually forgotten since the Russian Empire conquered and eliminated the Nogai state in the North Caucasus in the 18th century.
Following the first Russian invasion into Chechnya in 1994, the Nogai people organized a guerilla group to support the Chechens, naming it the "Nogai Battalion." Members of the battalion also took part in the anti-Russian resistance in Chechnya during the early years of the second Chechen war, which began in 1999. Starting 2003, however, the Nogai insurgents became more active not only in Chechnya, but also in Dagestan and especially Stavropol krai. Police and Russian troops were frequently targeted in Nogai district and in Stavropol's Neftekumsk district. In response, security officials started regular — but ineffective — sweeps of Nogai-populated areas in all three regions. By the beginning of 2006 the Nogai Battalion had become very strong and well organized. In February 2006, heavy fighting occurred between police and the Nogai Battalion in the Nogai village of Tukui-Mektebe in Stavropol krai. There were heavy casualties on both sides (see EDM, February 16).
After the battle in Tukui-Mektebe, Russian authorities realized that something must be done with the Nogai. Guided by advisers from Moscow and coordinated by the Kremlin, local authorities in Stavropol, Chechnya, and Dagestan worked out a program to develop the Nogai-populated areas. Last April Dagestani President Mukhu Aliev visited Nogai district along with members of the republican government to see what could be done to improve living conditions there (RIA-Novosti-Dagestan, April 22). On the eve of his visit, a cell-phone network was established in Nogai district, and one week before the visit Nogai district chief Aslan Mamaev was arrested on corruption charges (RIA-Novosti-Dagestan, April 21).
At the same time, the pro-Russian authorities of Chechnya declared that they also would pay more attention to their Nogai areas. On June 6, Chechen Deputy Prime Minister Abdulkhaakir Israilov visited two Nogai villages in Northern Chechnya and promised the locals to build new roads, sport arenas, and other facilities that would make their lives better (RIA-Novosti-Dagestan, June 6).
However, the ethnic Russians in Stavropol do not regard the situation as optimistically as the regional authorities. This summer, during his Internet press conference, Russian President Vladimir Putin received several very emotional emails from Russians in the region, begging for his help. "Please, pay attention to the eastern zone of the Stavropol krai," the residents wrote. "We live here like on a powder keg. Wahhabism [Islamic fundamentalism] is becoming increasingly popular in Nogai villages, people [policemen and civilians] get killed and there is a permanent terrorist threat in the area. Probably very soon it will be impossible to live here. There will be a war here!"(Regnum, July 7).
The latest warnings about a threat from the Nogai Battalion suggest that the authorities are also worried about the situation in the Nogai triangle. However, the only effective thing that they can do now is to send more troops and set up more checkpoints in the Nogai area. There is no doubt that such measures will help to prevent a massive attack, but they will not bring a lasting, stable peace to the region.
KARIMOV PRIORITIZES RUSSIAN ARMAMENTSNext
LIGHT SENTENCES FOR HIGH-PROFILE RUSSIAN..


New Delhi: A $350 billion (Rs13.76 trillion) sovereign wealth fund run by Norway has sold its entire stake in Vedanta Resources Plc., a mining and metals company with a significant presence in India, and operations in Zambia, Australia and Armenia because of what one Norwegian government official referred to as "environmental and human rights violations" by the firm.
Shares of Vedanta on the London Stock Exchange were trading at £20.71 (Rs1,702) each, down 2.03% at 3.46pm GMT.
"I am not aware of any such situation because I have just landed in India," said Anil Agarwal, chairman of Vedanta.
Norway's government pension fund, Global, commonly known as the "oil fund", invests Norway's petroleum wealth in foreign stocks and bonds to save for when its oil and gas run out. It is one of the world's biggest sovereign wealth funds. At the end of 2006, the fund owned a 0.16% stake in the company worth $15.16 million. The country's finance ministry said all shares had been sold by the end of October.
Other Vedanta officials denied the ministry's charges.
"Vedanta Resources absolutely rejects any suggestion of causing damage to people and the environment. We believe in sustainable development and are committed to effective management of health, safety, environment and community development as an integral part of our business. The impact of our investment in some of the world's poorest regions has been remarkable and acknowledged," said Tarun Jain, director, Sterlite Industries Ltd, Malco Ltd, Balco Ltd and Hindustan Zinc Ltd (all Vedanta group companies), and a spokesperson for the firm.
Vedanta's operations in India are spread over 19 production sites in six states.
"According to the recommendations (of the ethics council of the fund), the fund runs an unacceptable risk of complicity in present and future severe environmental damage and systematic human rights violations by continuing to invest in the company," Norway's finance ministry said in a statement late on Tuesday.
The ethics council said, "allegations levelled at the company regarding environmental demage and complicity in human rights violations, including abuse and forced eviction of tribal people, are well founded." It said its review extended to Vedanta subsidiaries Sterlite, Malco, Balco and Vedanta Alumina, though the fund did not have direct holdings in those companies.
The council said it had contacted Vedanta Resources in March asking for its comments on its (the council's) draft recommendations and, after an extension, had given the company until 20 April to respond. But the company did not respond till 15 May.
Last month, thousands of tribal people protested against a Vedanta Resources alumina refinery being set up in the Lanjigarh area of Orissa and vowed to stop the $874 million project. This project involves mining bauxite in the Niyamgiri hills.
It has already been challenged in the Supreme Court by those being displaced.
"In cases of severe unethical activites, we try to use our ownership to make the companies change their behaviour; however, the violations of Vedanta have been so serious and we don't see any initiative from the company to change its past record. Therefore, we do not want to contribute in a company, where environmental and human rights violations seem to be a part of their business strategy," said Roger Schjerva, state secretary, ministry of finance, Norway, in a telephone interview.
Jain denied these charges and added that several of Vedanta's companies in India had won awards for environmental management, including an award that Malco won for 'Excellence in Environment Management' from The Energy Research Institute (Teri).
The ethics council of the fund examined instances of illegal expansion of capacity, health and environmental damage at the Tuticorin copper smelter and refinery run by one subsidiary, environmental impact and health burden on the local population at the Malco complex in Tamil Nadu, forced eviction of tribals for a bauxite mine in Chhattisgarh and human rights violations, forced evictions, threats and abuses against local residents as well as breaking national laws and providing false information to obtain an environmental clearance for the proposed bauxite mining site in Niyamgiri.
The oil fund has, on the recommendations of its ethics council, blacklisted 24 companies and withdrawn investments from them in the past. "In the past, we have withdrawn from Wal-Mart on human rights and forced labour issues and also from Boeing as they were involved in weapons production, which we don't support," added Schjerva.
Recently, the fund has withdrawn from the South African mining company, DRD Gold, South Korean arms company Poongsan Corp., mining company Freeport operating in Indonesia, and seven more companies involved in manufacturing nuclear weapons.

Roll up to a bike event with a sidecar or a Grom, and you're bound to get some attention. A sidecar and a Grom? You'd better like talking to people.
Tyler Haynes of Industrial Moto now offers a sidecar kit ($1,600.00 to $1,920.00) for the Grom, called Project GUS. That's "Grom Utility Sidecar" and I'm all for it.
Ready for the weekend. Industrial Moto photo.
The matched wheels make GUS look almost factory. Industrial Moto photo.
Lights can be added to the sidecar for better visibility (and looks). Industrial Moto photo.
Industrial Moto starts with their steel chassis and adds independent suspension, powdercoat in your choice of color, and a wheel that fits right in with the Grom's factory alloys (adjustable for toe in/out). The GUS rig comes stock with D-rings, a cargo net, and clamps for packing up the essentials for your Grom expedition. Options include an LED headlight ($100) and a small passenger seat with grab rail ($220).
"Hop in!" Industrial Moto photo.
Does the world need a Grom sidecar? Probably n-, wait, yeah, it does. Parades, local camping, super pit bike, grocery getter, taking your kid around the yard, flying the chair with your buddies… the GUS isn't the most practical thing out there, but it sure looks like fun. Isn't that the whole Grom concept anyway? We'll let you know if Stinky mounts one up.


No one's talking about social networking anymore -- turns out the next big thing is eating, as evidenced by the fact that start-up-minded Harvard grads have created Plated.
Just launched in DC by two buddies who met at HBS, Plated lets you enjoy the fun of cooking while avoiding the egregious process of grocery shopping (ie being around other people who enjoy cooking), delivering gourmet ingredients and step-by-step instructions from big-time chefs. Sign up for a weekly meal plan to receive two, three, or five pre-portioned dinners per week for up to six people -- everything takes around 30mins to prepare, and it's all sourced locally. They'll add five new recipes a week for you to choose amongst, which currently include stuff like gulf shrimp piri piri from Harlem's famed Red Rooster, and pasta carbonara with edamame from NY Times food writer Daniel Meyer, who is not, in fact, restauranteur Danny Meyer, but does write cool stuff like "on a cold fall night, nothing is more comforting than curling up with a warm bowl", thus taking the term "ca-noodling" to a whole new level.
And they're offering a Thanksgiving special to be delivered Tuesday 11/20 (everything from the bird, to low-Cooked Sausage Stuffing) for $28/person, but the normal plans are way cheaper, working out to around $8 per person per meal, so why not purchase two per night, and have the next big thing be you?


Hi! I'm an IT pro currently working for Microsoft. I am focused on cloud services, virtualization, IT security as well as system management and I hold several certifications in these areas.
I am passionate about technology and I believe we can use it to make the world a better place.

A Porsche 911 Fan Finds His Car for Life
A 1972 model Lewis Eig calls 'Blucille'—in an homage to B.B. King's guitar—is the one he'll stick with
By A.J. Baime
March 26, 2019 10:19 am ET
Lewis Eig, 49, the Haworth, N.J.-based director of business development for Visionary Solutions, a maker of audio-visual products, on his 1972 Porsche 911T, as told to A.J. Baime.
With autonomous cars coming, the days of driving a car that has a steering wheel and a gas pedal are numbered. Cars piloted by people will soon be less desirable—perhaps even outlawed. It makes me feel like a hunter and gatherer, in terms of cars. I want to find the best roads, the best car, to bring the motoring experience to its pinnacle.
In 2000, I got hooked on air-cooled Porsche 911s, which have no modern cooling system and were built up through model year 1998. I have bought and sold them as our family finances have dictated. But about five years ago, my wife said, "Lew, we've worked hard. You should find the air-cooled 911 that you want to keep for the rest of your life."
The 1972 Porsche 911 you see here was owned by a man about to turn 90 in Chicago. He had only driven it 300 miles in the past 15 years, and he put an ad online to sell it. Back in the 1970s, a mechanic at a Chicago dealership had hot-rodded it with an engine and parts off a higher-performance 1978 911 SC. So it was a highly unique vehicle.
I bought the car in 2015 for about what it would cost to buy a new Ford Explorer. Since this was a 1972 car with a 1978 engine in it, I decided to buy a 1972 engine to make the driving experience more authentic, and, over the course of two weekends, a friend and I swapped out the motor. Just after I bought the car, I heard on the radio that blues guitarist B.B. King had died, so I named the car after his famous guitar Lucille. I call it Blucille.

Paier College of Art hosts informal Open Portfolio Reviews. Classes will be in process during the first time bracket. Great time to me the students and to see classes in progress. They are held in conjunction with the bi-annual open house and seasonal art shows. Prospective students and local artists are encouraged to attend. Interested individuals are simply asked to visit the campus on the appointed day (traditionally the Thursday and Saturday of the Art Show weekend.) Our reviews are always constructive. If you are intimidated by a formal appointment, this is the perfect opportunity. Take the first step towards assessing your skills.
In contrast to portfolio reviews offered elsewhere, Paier College of Art does not adhere to any conventional rules as to the number of pieces or style of work an individual presents. The intent of this review is to assist creative people in improving their presentations. Also, to better inform individuals of the possibility of art careers. There may be some avenues of design that you may never have considered. You will have the opportunity to speak with our professional staff of artists at the college. Additionally, you'll have the chance to meet some of our current students. Our students give tours and will talk candidly about being an art student. No prior registration, application, or fee is required. This is a public service offered to the community.
We hope you can find the time to visit us and see the work our student body is producing. Our faculty and staff at Paier understand that people have had different opportunities to develop and explore their interest towards art as a career. If you happen to miss this event, please contact Admissions and arrange for a personal interview. (203) 287-3031 admissions@paier.edu.

I've seen this sort of thing in cartoons before, but a while back I was leaving for work, it was a Sunday morning, and this was going on down the street. Someone hit a fire hydrant, and it really was stunning. I had to snap away.
I hope they are okay. Thanks for the show.


It's 2019! How crazy is it, I'm still processing the fact that 1999 was 20 years ago honestly...where has the time gone?! Apologies for not posting a lot, I had a little break and will save why for another post. Meanwhile, Harry and I celebrated our anniversary a few weeks ago, and it was our 8th year together. I can't believe it. We didn't do anything too extreme as we spent last summer travelling around America though we did spend our weekend in our favourite place - Manchester, and once again, it didn't let us down.
The cake arrived in a box which had a simple yet effective look with their design logo on it, it was easy to open, and there wasn't too much going on with plastic wrapping, as sometimes you can get a tiny item with ridiculous and unnecessary amounts of plastic around it. Once opened, there was a delightful circled tin saying 'Just For You', the tin was adorable, and I would use the tin again after I devoured the cake. Before I even opened the tin, I could smell the aroma of a rich and moist chocolate cake and this immediately made my mouth water. There is nothing better than the smell of oozy gooey chocolate cake.
I wasn't disappointed with the size as I expected it to be the size that it was as it fits through the letterbox, it was perfect. The design I chose was two stick people together holding heart balloons - simple and adorable.
Once the cake was cut a sweet smell of chocolate poured out, and as you can imagine, it was soft and divine. The cake tasted sublime and was shocked at how moist the cake was. One thing I love even more than chocolate cake is icing, though it can be sickening at times I truly believe everything was the right proportion. We had a quarter of the cake, and we loved it that much that we devoured the rest of the cake within 10 minutes. Whoops.
If you're struggling to find an affordable, perfect sized and tasty cake, you NEED to try Baker Days. Pick the cake, sit back and wait then enjoy eating.

Keynesian and Austrian Perspective on Crisis, Shock Adjustment, Exchange Rate Regime and (Long-Term) Growth
Mathilde Maurel
(Centre d'Economie de la Sorbonne)
Gunther Schnabl
(Université de Leipzig)
The 2010 European debt crisis has revived the discussion concerning the optimum adjustment strategy in the face of asymmetric shocks. Whereas Mundell's (1961) seminal theory on optimum currency areas suggests depreciation in the face of crisis, the most recent emergence of competitive depreciations, competitive interest rate cuts or currency wars questions the exchange rate as an adjustment tool to asymmetric economic development. This paper approaches the question from a theoretical perspective by confronting exchange rate based adjustment with crisis adjustment via price and wage cuts. Econometric estimations yield a negative impact of exchange rate flexibility/ volatility on growth, which is found to be particularly strong for countries with asymmetric business cycles and during recessions. Based on these findings we support a further enlargement of the European Monetary Union and recommend more exchange rate stability for the rest of the world

How Do You Create a Diet to Prevent Anemia?
A diet to prevent anemia includes eating a balanced diet that includes iron-rich foods, fruits and vegetables high in vitamin C, and avoiding caffeine while eating meals, according to the Office on Women's Health, a division of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Iron-rich foods include protein such as lean red meat, liver, fish and oysters, OWH says. Other protein options includes beans, lentils and tofu. Green, leafy vegetables, such as spinach, are also rich in iron. Dried fruits, including raisins, are an iron source, and so are cereals and breads fortified with iron.
Vitamin C helps the body absorb iron, so add fruits and vegetables high in this nutrient, like orange juice, broccoli and strawberries, OWH says. Other Vitamin C sources, according to Medline Plus, include potatoes, tomatoes, green peppers, cantaloupe, mango, watermelon and kiwi fruit.
Drinks like coffee and tea keep the body from absorbing iron, and drinking them while eating can keep any iron-rich food from providing benefits, according to OWH. Calcium can also inhibit iron absorption, and if a balanced diet is not helping, talk to a doctor about how to get enough calcium and iron. Iron supplements may be needed to help prevent anemia.

Chill Another 'chella? Not So Fast, Judge Tells Coachella Music Fest.
"By the time we got to Woodstock, we were half-a-million strong." Woodstock, music and lyrics by Joni Mitchell, recorded by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young.
The countdown has begun, with less than a year until Woodstock turns 50. Like Watergate a few years later, Woodstock occupies that rarefied world of one-word names that conjure up not just a place or an event, but a cultural watershed. Although Woodstock was not the first music festival of the Summer of Love era, it's the one that dominates the collective memories of an entire generation, many of whom claim to have wallowed in the mud with the 500,000 souls who actually slogged their way to Yasgur's farm to hear some of the leading rock, folk, soul, and blues acts of the day. Hendrix electrified with his searing "Star Spangled Banner," Richie Havens strummed fervently for "Freedom," Canned Heat celebrated the simple pleasure of "Going Up the Country," while Country Joe and his Fish echoed the nation's angst with their sardonic "Fixin' to Die Rag" ("And it's one, two, three, what are we fighting for?) All this and more was immortalized in an Oscar® winning documentary that cemented Woodstock as the defining music festival for generations of concert goers.
An attempt to rekindle the magic with a 25th Anniversary festival didn't (and couldn't) live up to the legend of the original Woodstock. But don't think for a moment that the multi-day communal music festival is like peace signs, VW buses, fringed jackets, and bell bottoms, a relic of the past. Thanks to bands with nomadic tribal fan bases like the Grateful Dead and Phish, and thanks especially to entrepreneurs with bold visions and bolder marketing machines, the modern music festival is alive and well. This phenomenon has transformed the music business into a seemingly unending string of multi-day festivals from April through October.
And no festival defines and exemplifies the modern concert soundscape more than The Coachella Music and Arts Festival, better known by the single name Coachella. Since 1993, when Pearl Jam headlined, Coachella's been held each Spring in California's Coachella Valley. Like its Tennessee doppelganger, the (unaffiliated) Bonaroo, Coachella attracts hundreds of thousands of concert goers who feast on a smorgasbord of mega-stars, genre-leading acts, and rising artists presented virtually round the clock on multiple stages. Headliners besides Pearl Jam have included Radiohead, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Guns N' Roses, AC/DC, Madonna, Paul McCartney, and Prince, just to name a few.
With over 25 years of success, millions of attendees, scores of millions in revenues, and massive amounts of media coverage, you'd be forgiven if you'd think that the Coachella name had achieved a level of renown that would scare away copycats. But just as Watergate spawned a succession of follow-on "gates,"( like "Deflategate," the New England Patriot's most recent "are they cheaters?" kerfuffle), Coachella has inspired imitators who've tried to tack "chella" onto their names.
But today's concert industry is big business involving big brands like Coachella. And to vigilant brand owners, imitation is not the sincerest form of flattery. So, when it learned that a Coachella Valley-based film-festival planned to call itself Filmchella, Coachella made it face the music; it sued for trademark infringement, arguing that the overlapping audiences for music and film would assume that the two "chellas" are related.
At first, the judge sided with Coachella and temporarily stopped Filmchella before the first projector began showing the first reel. That ruling—a preliminary injunction—was just the opening act. It didn't actually decide the infringement issue, and so litigation ensued. Emboldened by its early success, Coachella asked the court to decide the case on summary judgment—arguing that the facts were so clear cut that the case could be decided without a trial.
This time, the judge modified his tune, concluding that while Coachella undeniably is well-known, a reasonable jury might find the "chella" portion weaker than the mark as a whole. The court also questioned whether a high budget music festival with celebrity performers is similar enough to an indy film-festival like Filmchella to confuse festival aficionados. Finally, the judge noted that although Coachella and Filmchella share the "chella" suffix, the two marks "have some differences, such as different font style and different beginning." "In short," the judge concluded in the coda of his opinion, "a reasonable jury could find that there is or that there is not likelihood of confusion from the totality of facts [and, therefore,] the jury is entitled to weigh these facts to determine whether a reasonably prudent consumer is likely to be confused." Coachella Music Festival, LLC v. Simms, (U.S. District Court Judge R. Gary Klausner, Central District of Cal., Sept. 18. 2018). So, for Coachella and Filmchella, the litigation beat goes on and a courtroom showdown looms.
Nearly 50 years ago, Woodstock was billed as "3 Days of Peace and Music." From today's vantage point, with the music industry dominated by streaming services and mega-concerts, that slogan seems like a hippie dream. But then, again, the aftermath of Woodstock was mired in nearly as much litigation as the crowd at Max Yasgur's farm was mired in mud during the rain-drenched second day. So, the founders of Coachella are carrying on the tradition of Woodstock in more ways than one. Cue the Woodstock film soundtrack: "It's been a long time coming. Gonna be a long time gone."
Quote of the Day: "I always think that when something is currently very trendy, it's already very old." Ennio Morricone, film score composer, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, and many others.

Prediction No. 2: Manpower Reductions
With more and more manual processes associated with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance activities being automated through technology, we expect the people costs for SOX to fall off dramatically in 2006. This is actually a pretty safe bet since it will be the third year that large public companies have had to manage SOX compliance. One could assume that everyone is getting more adept, including the independent auditors, so manpower costs should go down as a percentage of overall costs associated with SOX
Google's "Space" Is (Mostly) Online
It's part market research for Google, and it's a great way to jump out of the virtual world and into the real one, to become more than just the search bar on the Internet. Helping real people do research on their destination locations is a wonderful marketing technique.

It's important to spell out what can and can't be downloaded on company PCs, The Advisory Council says. Also, be prepared to manage the cultural differences to succeed in doing business in China.

Is Patent Insanity Ruining Software Innovation?
Many of the requirements that should define a patent, says Network Computing Editor Rob Preston. are all but forgotten when it comes to awarding protection to software and business processes. It's time to quit giving IT-industry patent traffickers a 'free' ride that costs everyone else dearly.
Open For Business (Intelligence)
"We are the most open-source-friendly traditional business intelligence vendor." That seems to be the mantra of every BI software maker these days, and they'll fall all over each other to yell it the loudest.
20 Whats For Windows?
From the mailbag: My tepid birthday greetings to Microsoft Windows and its smarter cousin, the Apple Macintosh OS, last week in my e-mail newsletter (what, you're not a subscriber?) drew a couple of e-mail replies -- actually less backchat than I expected.
How To Rescue Federal IT
The issue of allowing federal CIOs to more actively manage their agency's IT investments certainly looms large. The other big problem is that of culture.
To make federal IT as effective and efficient as that in the private sector, something needs to change. The question is: what now?
Let Us Predict
The holiday season is now officially out of its cage and you know what that means . . . Yup, it's time for that annual right of analysts, pundits, journalists and wags everywhere to vent their predictions for the coming year. But rather than wait and wrap all predictions up in a nice holiday bundle, I think I'll meter out our guesswork in the time-honored tradition of seasonal marketing campaigns that dictate the emergence of flocked trees and jingle bells shortly after the back-to-school sale
BI: A Worthwhile Use For Cell Phones?
Like many of the technological devices I own, I've got a love-hate relationship with my cell phone. That said, I'm sometimes staggered by the new capabilities being built into mobile phones. Do I really want to watch TV on my cell phone? Does anyone? Is that really necessary?

EBay Hears And Sees No Evil, It Just Sells It
Is eBay Adam Smith's perfect market, where prices are set by the honest interaction of buyers and sellers and everyone goes home happy--or is it simply the perfect vehicle for price gouging--and much, much worse? The short supply of Microsoft's Xbox 360 means the game system is now fetching up to $1,000 on eBay. Fair enough, if a gamester really can't wait a few more weeks to play the 360 version of Call of Duty 2 or NBA Live 06 then it's their money, right? Sure, but eBay's willingness to turn

Mollifying The Paper-Pushers Could Benefit Microsoft's Business Customers, Too
Microsoft never relinquishes control easily; this time, it buckled to the bureaucrats. But its decision, related to its upcoming Office 12 suite, should help customers, particularly those that want to customize Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Rugged MP3 Player A Solid Idea
Sharp plans to ship November 26 two ruggedized mobile music players that can survive being dropped from 1.4 meters. The Sharp MP-S200 (512MB) and MP-S300 (1GB) players' electronics are protected against damage with what the Japanese news site Nikkei.net Interactive describes as a "
Stallman Stands Up
I get the impression that some people view Richard Stallman's run-in with U.N. security goofballs in Tunisia last week as further proof that, to put it bluntly, Stallman is a few bits short of a byte. If you share that opinion, do yourself and Stallman a favor: Read Bruce Perens' eyewitness account of the incident before you jump to any conclusions about what happened and

In HPC, A Question Of Where Microsoft Lays Its Bets
When Microsoft officially threw its hat into the high-performance computing ring this month with a speech by chairman Bill Gates at a supercomputing conference in Seattle, some computer scientists hoped the company could help sort out an arcane but potentially important problem in the market: coaxing more performance out of commonly used programming languages. It's a challenging technical conundrum, but it also illustrates how Microsoft's entry into the market is sowing both skepticism about its
Gartner's John Pescatore on the SANS report
I spoke with John Pescatore, VP and research fellow for information security at market research firm Gartner, Inc. for this story, posted earlier today, about the SANS Institute's report on the 20 most critical Internet security vulnerabilities for 2005.
Something Else To Worry About, Or Not
It's right before Thanksgiving and I'm trying hard not to think curmudgeonly thoughts but just in case you haven't noticed your users downloading AOL's spiffy new IM client (which is much more than an IM client) be aware that instant messages aren't the only thing that could be breaking your compliance policies. The new AIM Triton service, which became available for free download today, is an integrated communications client that off
Don't look now, but Thanksgiving is bearing down upon us, which you probably know means that the biggest shopping weekend of the year is right around the corner. What you might not know, however, is that the Monday following that weekend, is fast becoming the biggest online shopping day of the year. This year, online retailers plan to help drive Cyber Monday shopping with special promotions and discounts, wi

Peter Jackson Re-Creates 1933 King Kong Scene
Movie director Peter Jackson, most famous for his Lord of the Rings trilogy and soon to be most famous for his spectacular King Kong remake, has spearheaded a project to re-create at least one awesome scene missing from the 1933 original King Kong. When test screening the original movie in San Bernadino, Calif., in 1933, one scene terrified the audience so much that the mo

Piling On Sony
I've been as mad as anybody at Sony over its use of a rootkit as a "digital rights management" tool. It's a little like calling a sawed-off shotgun a privacy-management tool -- it's effective, but the consequences are both unpredictable and horrific. Now both the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and the Texas Attorney General have filed suit against Sony BMG Music Entertainmen

This Am A Bizarro Note About Microsoft
Today's news is dominated by stories about a world where Microsoft is an also-ran, trying to steal market share away from market leader Linux, and where Microsoft is trying to enhance its users' experience by supporting the Firefox browser. What strange world is this, you ask? Is it, perhaps, the Bizarro world, the square planet where everything is the opposit
The Road Ahead?
Microsoft Windows turned 20 this week. Like any 20 year-old, Windows is heading into its third decade with a swagger in its walk and a hint of arrogance in its eyes. And with good reason: The road Windows has traveled for so many years looks just as familiar as ever and still promises to take it exactly where it wants to go.
Oracle Challenge To SAP Nets Response: We Like SQL Server
When Oracle went into the applications business, did it foresee how the move could affect its database business? Reading between the lines of Microsoft's recent SQL Server 2005 launch, maybe it underestimated the impact.
Google's Book Search: Best of Times, Worst of Times For Libraries
College professors complain about the current generation of copy-and-paste students. Raised online, impatient with card catalogs and paper indices, these students use Google to do research papers, finding even obscure references and far-flung sources in seconds. Unfortunately, their results -- and their final papers -- tend to be heavily slanted toward the knowledge and opinion in magazines, on Web sites and other resources that were first to put their offerings online.

OQO: Rich And Beautiful
OQO Inc. got $20 million in venture funding this week. All that money makes OQO very attractive, but I confess, I was in love with OQO even before it was rich, because it makes an intriguingly beautiful tiny PC. If want a little dose of computer lust (or maybe a Christmas gift suggestion) go to www.oqo.com and gaze longingly at the OQO Model 01+. It's got a 1GHz processor, a 30GB hard drive, 512MB of RAM, integrated wireless networking, and FireWire and USB port
