do bettas mark their territory by building bubble nests?

I'm wondering because after one of my bettas catches their reflection and flair for a little bit, its not too uncommon to see bubble nest some time later. I caught one of my boys flaring then he went to the corner and started spitting out bubbles. Could this be a way of marking territory?

Yup. Bettas usually will make their nests on a clump of plants or leaves in the wild. They don't usually stray from the nest.

When a male with a nest and a female who's ready to breed meet the usually begin courtship. My most recent breed, they got right into spawning.

The Tilak invokes a feeling of sanctity in the wearer and others.It is recognized as a religious mark. Its form and colour vary according to one's caste, religious sect or the form of the Lord worshipped. Religious marks are worn by men and women with ashes, clay, kumkum (Powdered red turmeric) or sandalwood powder. It is a visible sign of a person as belonging to Hindu culture.

In earlier times, The brahmin applied a white chandan mark signifying purity. The kshatriya applied a red kumkum mark.The vaishya wore a yellow kesar or turmeric mark.The sudra applied a black bhasma, kasturi or charcoal mark.Vishnu worshippers apply a chandan tilak of the shape of "U," Shiva worshippers a tripundra of bhasma, Devi worshippers a red dot of kumkum.

  • Saivites typically use ashes ( called Vibhuti) and draw their tilaks as three horizontal lines ( tripundra). Vibhuti used by Saivites, means glory and it is also called bhasma (that by which our sins are destroyed and the Lord is remembered ). The holy ash is worn with adoration and respect. This is also known as “ thiru neeru” in Tamil. The holy Ash has lots of spiritual meaning. Vibhuti is so named because it endows one wih prosperity.Ash is the substance that results when things are completely burnt off. In natural terms it is a final state. It is also known as Bhasma because it burns away all sins. This ash is the ultimate reality and cannot be changed any more. By applying this as a symbol of Divinity, we prepare ourselves to give up all desires, burn our attachments and temptations and make ourselves pure, holy and sacred, for liberation.

  • Vaishnavites apply clay (preferably from holy rivers) or sandalwood paste. They apply the material in two vertical lines, which may be connected at the bottom, forming either a simple U shape or a form said to be like a tulasi leaf. Their Tilak is called the urdhva-pundra. Vaishnavites use clay for their Srichurnam. This is also called “thirumann” ( mann is the tamil word for clay).This is known as Srichurnam and wearing this is as an important part of the daily rites of a Sri Vaishnavite. The Tilak is applied to twelve parts of the body, reciting the twelve names of the Lord. Vedas say, by wearing this mark, he becomes fortunate, gets released of all the worldly bondages and attains liberation.

  • In Sri Vaishnava sampradaya the tilak is made out of the white mud found in anthills. The scriptures tell us that the mud from the base of a Tulasi plant and the white mud from within the anthill are both pure and best for making tilak. The Sri Vaishnavas will draw two lines representing the feet of Sri Narayana, and in the middle they will put a red line to represent Lakshmi Devi. Because the Sri Vaishnava sampradaya begins with Sri Lakshmi Devi, and they approach Narayana only through Lakshmi, their tilak reflects this process of surrender. Using mud also makes us reflect that we come from clay and go back to clay.

The Tilaks of each sampradaya actually depict the siddhanta of the sampradaya.The Tilak is also believed to have medicinal and protective functions. The pastes applied are considered to give cooling effect to the body.The Tilak is also considered to bestow spiritual comfort and protection against demons, bad luck, and other evil forces.The tilak cover the spot between the eyebrows, which is the seat of memory and thinking. It is known as the Aajna Chakra in the language of Yoga and gives concentration of spiritual energy on the forehead between the eyebrows.The tilak is applied with the prayer -

"May I remember the Lord. May this pious feeling pervade all my activities. May I be righteous in my deeds."

Even when we temporarily forget this prayerful attitude the mark on another reminds us of our resolve. The tilak is thus a blessing of the Lord and a protection against wrong tendencies and forces. The scriptures say that a Hindu without tilak is worthy of condemnation and is compared to intellect without clarity

Traditionally Bindi is red in colour.'Bindi' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'bindu' or a drop, and suggests the mystic third eye of a person.It is applied as an ornamental mark on the forehead between the two eyebrows — a spot considered a major nerve point in human body since ancient times. The bindi is believed to prevent the loss of "energy", as well as bringing spiritual protection against demons or bad luck.The red 'kumkum' between the eyebrows is said to retain energy in the human body and control the various levels of concentration. It is also the central point of the base of the creation itself — symbolising auspiciousness and good fortune.

The Kumkum which ladies keep on the forehead , is to symbolize that they are married. Normally guys walk straight and ladies would walk with head down.By seeing the Kumkum on the forehead, one can understand that the girl is married.. In early days, there had been a custom that married guys would have a ring in their second foot finger, as metti seeing that the girl would identify that he is married...

We are told that in ancient times, in Aryan society, a groom used to apply his blood on-his bride's forehead as a recognition of wedlock. The existing practice among Indian women of applying a round shaped red Tilaka called Bindiya or Kumkum could be a survival of this idea.No one knows exactly when the tradition of putting a bindi started.

Young rider explains why he's OK with the pressure of being the next big American star.
January 28, 2012
Photo by After a successful year racing with the now-defunct HTC-Highroad team, Tejay van Garderen joined super squad BMC, where he'll support reigning Tour de France champion Cadel Evans while looking for his own success at races like Paris-Nice, the Tour of California, and the USA Pro Cycling Challenge. (Blandine Roquelet)
Tejay van Garderen has been racing professionally for just a few years but he’s already shown his world-class talent on cycling’s biggest stage, the Tour de France, where in 2011, riding in his first Tour, he wore the polka-dot climbers’ jersey and was awarded “Most Aggressive Rider” after attacking on Stage 8. The 23-year-old American earned impressive results all year long, including finishing second overall at the Tour of the Algarve and fifth at the Tour of California. He ended his season by taking third in the inaugural USA Pro Cycling Challenge.

In all these races, Van Garderen used his time-trialing and climbing abilities to show that he can be a threat at most any stage race he enters. This week, Bicycling spoke with Van Garderen during a training camp in Spain with his new team, BMC.

Bicycling: Tell us how your off-season has gone.

Tejay van Garderen: It was a good one. I was hanging out in the Santa Ynez Valley in California, and we had some really nice, good-weather training, nice and relaxed. And I just got married. I’m enjoying the new team and I stayed healthy and I trained well. So I’m ready to start the season.

Bicycling: Congratulations on your marriage. And speaking of your new team, what’s your role going to be on BMC?

Van Garderen: I had a meeting with the managers and we laid out a few goals for the year. The first one’s obviously going to be the Tour and trying to help Cadel in the high mountains and kind of being his guy, to be the last one in line to help him when you’re getting the onslaught of attacks from the RadioShack guys on the big climbs. And personally, I’m going to be looking for Paris-Nice, California, and Colorado to be my big goals for the year.

Taylor Phinney and Thor Hushovd lead a ride during BMC's January 2012 training camp in Spain. (Blandine Roquelet)

Bicycling: Will you get support from Evans and others at the races you’re targeting?

Van Garderen: Cadel’s set to do Tirreno-Adriatico, so he won’t be at Paris-Nice or at California, but I think we’re set to do Colorado together, and I think he’d be pretty keen to pay back, assuming I’m able to do a good job for him at the Tour. I’d think he’d help me out in my home race in Colorado.

Bicycling: Who else is going to help out Evans in the mountains?

Van Garderen: We have a few climbers on the team who can make it happen. Guys like Steve Morabito and Ivan Santaromita. Those guys can really go uphill if they’re on form. I don’t think Cadel’s going to have any lack of help in the high mountains of the Tour.

Three highly qualified mentors for Van Garderen—Hushovd, Gilbert, Evans. (Blandine Roquelet)

Bicycling: How is BMC going to support your growth as a rider?

Van Garderen: This is the perfect team to be on for my growth and support. They’ve already shown long-term investment and, you know, that was a big deal for me. And to have guys like Cadel to learn from, how he handles races, how he deals with pressure, how he was able to deal with some of the stress. Tactically I can learn a lot from him.

BMC was really open to giving me any opportunity that I wanted to put on myself. They didn’t put a schedule in front of me and say, “We need you to be good here and we need you to be good here.” They said: “Where do you want to be good? What do you want to do?” So that just gave me freedom to kind of bring myself to the level to put myself under the pressure and let me grow naturally, rather than trying to force it.

Bicycling: Some have called you the future of American cycling, especially at the Tour de France. But we know that great pressure and promise can be too much of a burden for some riders to bear. Do you see yourself as the future and, if so, how do you deal with it?

Van Garderen: It’s definitely an honor to see that people have that sort of faith in me. And I don’t really see that as a bad thing. Sometimes people don’t live up to expectations and sometimes they do, but to me that’s not something I dwell on, that’s not something I think about. What I think about is … I’m a very compartmentalized thinker. If I’m out on a training ride, I’m not out thinking “Oh I need to do this because I have the weight of America on my shoulders.” I think: “I’m going to do this training because that’s what it says on my training schedule, and I’m just looking at my SRM and enjoying being on the road looking at the scenery.”

It’s never something that’s weighing on me. If people start writing articles saying, “Oh yeah, Tejay is not living up to expectations.” That’s not going to make a difference when I go out on a training ride. I’m still going to be looking at the scenery and doing my workouts and being a compartmentalized thinker.

Bicycling: Do you think riders such as Taylor Phinney and yourself are bringing anything different to pro racing compared with the previous generation of America’s top riders?

Van Garderen: We’ve had a lot of opportunities to have success over here at such a young age. Back then, you didn’t have the national team bringing guys over to Europe and you didn’t have teams like Trek-Livestrong and the Garmin development team, and BMC has supported a number of U23 riders, one of which is Larry Warbasse, who’s here with us at the camp. He’s also going to be a big American talent.

Back in the day you just didn’t have a whole lot of that. So it was kind of like people coming over on their own, on their own dime. Maybe the guys who were talented enough actually didn’t have those opportunities to get over. So I think with all this investment that America’s put into young riders we’re starting to see the benefit of that, with so many young guys already stepping up in their neo-pro years and getting good results.

Bicycling: When do you see yourself being a Grand Tour contender?

Van Garderen: I don’t know; that’s a good question. This year, the way I see it, the better teammate I am to Cadel, the better result I can even get in the race. Because you look at the history of some of Lance Armstrong’s domestiques, like José Azevedo finished fifth when Armstrong won the race, and that’s just because he was able to give Armstrong support all the way up to the final mountain. And same with Roberto Heras. Popovych won the white jersey when Armstrong won the Tour, and that’s because he was there with Armstrong.

I think if I’m the best teammate I can be, and I’m really able to showcase my talents as being a good domestique, I might just end up falling into a high GC position myself, if I could just have some good time trials and help Cadel.

Bicycling: At the 2011 USA Pro Cycling Challenge, you lost the overall lead to Levi Leipheimer in the time trial and you were clearly very disappointed after that stage. What did you learn that day?

Van Garderen: Yeah, I definitely learned a lot from that experience. That was a hard day for me. It was pretty gut-wrenching to have something and lose it. It definitely taught me I have to be relaxed. I learned it’s important to stay calm, not get stressed out about having a jersey. You have to learn to decompress at the end of the day, get a good night’s sleep, and let your legs do the talking.

I was talking earlier about the compartmentalized thinking. You can’t think like, “Oh, I have 35 seconds; I need to make sure I stay at 35 seconds.” I just need to do a normal time trial. And I think that’s how Cadel can help me out this year, to just be less stressed throughout the race, be more confident, and do the job that you came here to do.

Losing the lead at the USA Pro Cycling Challenge to Leipheimer after the race's uphill time trial was an important learning experience. (Joe Lindsey)

Bicycling: Last year you rode your first Tour de France. What’s one thing you learned that you’re going to take with you going into your second Tour?

Van Garderen: I kind of have a grasp on how long and hard it is. I did the Vuelta the previous year so I was thinking, “I have a Grand Tour under my belt; I should be able to do another one.” But the Tour ... it’s just the crowds of people are so enormous, it’s something I’ve never seen before. It’s unlike any other race, with the media, the crowds, and with all the this-and-that that’s going on.

It’s a bit harder to get into the flow of the race, whereas with some races you have your routine: breakfast, race, get in the truck, get a massage, eat dinner, go to bed. In the Tour, your flow gets interrupted a bit. So if you’re able to roll with the punches a bit better and not let things stress you out, and not let the little things bother you, I think that’s the key to success.

Bicycling: With the addition of such star riders as Philippe Gilbert and Thor Hushovd, will BMC still be able to race cohesively and with a single purpose for Evans at the Tour?

Van Garderen: I don’t think it’s going to be a problem at all, to be perfectly honest. Cadel and Gilbert were teammates before, on Lotto, and I think they worked really well there. And Thor, he’s such an easy-going guy. He’s just a gentleman. And they all have different goals throughout the year. Thor’s going to go for the cobbled Classics, Gilbert for the hilly Classics, and Cadel’s going to be the man for the Tour.

They might want to be searching for a little bit of individual success in the Tour, but even then I don’t see it as a problem. Look at 2005 when Lance won the Tour and George (Hincapie) won a stage, as did (Paolo) Savoldelli. So it happens. That means we’re going to win the overall and a couple of stages. I don’t see a problem with that. (Laughs)

Bicycling: You’re entering the prime of your career. Years from now, after your racing days are over, what do you think will make you say you had a great career?

Van Garderen: I definitely one day want to be a grand tour contender, and it would mean a lot to get on the podium or even win one. But sometimes it can be, you know ... what’s the guy’s name in Moby-Dick chasing the whale?

Bicycling: Captain Ahab.

Van Garderen: Captain Ahab, yeah. If you think about that too much, it’s going to be something you want so bad that it’s never going to come. So right know, I’m having fun. I mean, this is a fun job. I don’t understand how anyone can finish a career doing this and be disappointed. You get to ride a bike for a living and it’s awesome. Yeah, I’m a very ambitious rider and I want to do the best I can—and I have grand tours in my mind. But I don’t see how anyone can ever be disappointed looking back on a career of racing bikes.

Working With What You Have: Eat for Eight Bucks

We’re proud to announce a new food writing gig: as the new “Eat for Eight Dollars” column on Serious Eats. Our super cheap (i.e. less than $8) and totally delicious meals will be featured on the site each Tuesday.

You can check out our first post, about Cara’s Spinach Strata with Sage and Gruyere, below.

When I lived with a host family in Paris, day-old baguettes were deeply scorned. If we didn’t get through a whole one in a day, the remnants were tossed, or, worse, relegated to the oblivion of the freezer, never to be seen again.

But a strata—essentially a savory French toast—is the best use I know for day-old bread. (If strata were gold, I would have been a very rich college junior living in that apartment.) And now that I’ve been charmed by them, I make strata from my own bread, even when it’s not technically leftover.

You can buy a baguette or some other decent loaf, slice it, and leave it out to achieve maximum staleness. The drier your bread, the more of the cheesy, sage-y goodness it will absorb from the custard. If you actually do have extra bread from last week’s meal, by all means, use that. Like cereal before it, strata really does make the most of an old humble staple.

Cheese might be humble too, but not the nutty, mild Gruyere I use here, which enriches and enlivens the dish. Spinach introduces green into the carb-fest, but the long baking time makes it melt in your mouth. Last but not least, sage adds a woodsy, wintry flavor, reminding us of the strata’s truest character traits: cozy and comforting.

From my kitchen, albeit small, to yours,

Spinach Strata with Sage and Gruyere
Serves 4

1/2 baguette (to yield about 6 cups of torn bread)
1 tablespoon softened butter, plus 3 tablespoons melted butter
3 eggs
2 1/2 cups milk
2 tablespoons fresh sage, torn
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium cloves garlic, minced (about 2 teaspoons)
1 1/2 ounces baby spinach (about 1 1/2 cups)
3 ounces Gruyere (about 1 1/2 cups, grated)
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated

Cut the bread into slices about ¾-inch thick. Set on the counter for several hours to dry out, or toast the bread in a 400°F oven for about 5 minutes. Tear each slice into several pieces. You should have about 6 cups.

Grease an 8×8-inch casserole dish with 1 tablespoon softened butter.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Whisk in milk, sage, salt, pepper, melted butter, and minced garlic until homogenous.

Add the torn bread to the custard, mixing to make sure every piece absorbs some liquid. Stir in spinach and Gruyere. Pour the bread-custard-spinach mixture into prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle with Parmesan and top with more freshly ground pepper. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to sit for 1 hour on the counter, or several hours in the fridge.

Preheat the oven to 375°F about 20 minutes before you’re ready to bake the strata.

Bake until the top is browned and slightly puffed and the strata is cooked through, about 45 minutes. Let rest a few minutes before serving warm.

Preview: Norco’s new Aurum, Revolver and Sight bikes.

Details on Norco's latest trail bike, 29er and DH-race machine.

Norco’s new 200-millimeter Aurum DH Race bike. Price range (USD): $3,400 to $7,350. Headtube angle: 63.5 degrees, BB-height about 13.75 inches.

The Aurum is available in three sizes, which each use a different bottom bracket forging that has the suspension pivot in a slightly different spot to increase the chainstay length slightly from the small to medium to large sizes.

Fork stanchion bumpers on the hydro-formed head-tube area are a nice touch.

A low horst-pivot allows for a good bit of rearward wheel movement as the suspension moves through its 200 millimeters of travel. Norco claims this helps maintain forward momentum on square-edged hits and offers a good bit of anti-squat while on the gas.

Syntace’s X12 system uses a bolt designed to fail rather than the usual soft aluminum of most derailleur hangers. Norco cleverly includes an extra bolt (derailleur hanger) that threads into the frame for storage near the bottom bracket.

The Aurum also uses a sleek integrated seatpost clamp.

A short headtube allows for loads of front-end adjustments.

For more photos, some initial impressions or to discuss the Aurum check out the ridemonkey post here.

The 100-millimeter Revolver 29er. Price range (USD): $2,325 to $5,375.

A short headtube keeps the handlebars low and agressive.

The seat stays are wrapped around in front of the seat tube to provide maximum rear wheel travel without loosing stiffness.

Norco stands behind the Syntace X12 system, here again, with the replacement bolt.

Norco’s new 140-millimeter bike, the Sight. Price range (USD): $2,795 to $9,540.

Always a welcomed sight. The Norco comes equipped with dropper post hose routing.

The new Norcos have post-mount brake tabs.

Bills Playoff Hopes Plowed Under

AP Photo - Trent Edwards Offense Awful In Snow: The California QB Trent Edwards got a good initiation into a good old fashion rust belt snowstorm. He did not perform well and didn't really do anything until the snow stopped late in the fourth quarter when he was trying a desperation drive that fell short. It should be a good learning experience but the grades won't be good after the team was shutout. Gameday Grades.

Bills Lose 8-0: In a game played mostly in a blinding snow storm the Bills were shutout for the first time in three years by losing to the Browns 8-0. All the scoring was in the first half as Phil Dawson hit two big field goals in the elements. The Bills also gave up a safety when a snap went over the head of Brian Moorman and into the end zone before he kicked it through for the two points. The Bills did nothing offensively until their final drive that ended at the Browns 10 yard line when a 4th and 5 screen pass went for no yards. Game Review.

Butler Banged Up: Brad Butler suffered an eye injury in the third quarter and was helped to the sidelines. He was replaced by Duke Preston and his return was questionable but he did come back late in the game. Lee Evans got banged up on the final drive and had to come out for a play but came back in. Injury Page.

Kelsay Active: Chris Kelsay is active for the game today. We already knew that Coy Wire and Copeland Bryan would be among the inactives as they were declared out on Friday. The other inactives are Ryan Neufeld, Jerametrius Butler, Shaud Williams, Jason Jefferson and Christian Gaddis. Gibran Hamdan is the emergency third QB. That means that recently signed linebacker Blake Costanzo is active.

Football In The Snow: Many fans love watching games played in heavy snow, Bills fans get their wish today. The snow is expected to get heavy around noon today as this game will be played in heavy snow and wind as we reported yesterday. They are expecting a wintry mix in the morning before the heavy snow dumps 5 to 8 inches. The bigger problem may be the wind as it will be out of the south southeast shifting to the west at 25 to 35 mph. The Bills may have a problem leaving Cleveland as they are expecting blizzard conditions at night with the snow continuing. Both teams prepared for the weather by practicing outside on Friday and both coaches say they have contingency game plans for the storm. It should be interesting to watch.

Saturday December 15, 2007

Weather May Help Bills: Weather will be a factor at many games around the NFL tomorrow like it usually does in December. It will be no different in Cleveland for the big game. There will be a significant winter storm that will start as a wintry mix and then is expected to turn into a full fledge snow storm during the day on Sunday with very cold temperatures with winds from 20 to 30 mph. This has to help the Bills as it should ground the high powered air attack of the Browns. It has caused us to update our prediction and preview. We will update the weather conditions tomorrow morning. Complete Preview.

Friday December 14, 2007

Parrish Signs Extension: An unusually busy Friday at One Bills Drive got busier tonight when it was announced that Roscoe Parrish agreed to a contract extension. Details of the deal were not immediately known. Parrish had a year left on his original four year, $2.7 Million deal. The Bills will look to lock up several players long term this offseason since they have no big name free agents this coming off season but many after the 2008 season. Parrish is one less name on that list.

Edwards Wins Award: For the second straight week, Trent Edwards was voted the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week for his four touchdown performance last week against Miami. The award is voted on by the fans on the internet.

Wilson on IR: The Bills placed George Wilson on injured reserve making him the 14th player to be on the list. He had hoped to return in time for the playoffs but the Bills needed the roster spot. They activated LB Blake Costanzo from the practice squad. They needed an extra linebacker with Coy Wire being declared out for the game on Sunday. Depth Chart.

Kelsay In; Wire Out: It appears Chris Kelsay will play against Cleveland after practicing for a third straight day today. He's officially listed as questionable. Coy Wire will not play after missing practice for a second straight day. He did practice on Wednesday but appeared to have a setback during the week. Injury Page.

Thursday December 13, 2007

Kelsay Appears Ready: Chris Kelsay practiced on a limited basis for the second straight day and says he's ready to go. He is surprised how good he does feel and didn't have any problems after coming through Wednesday's workout with little swelling. Coy Wire did not practice today after practicing on Wednesday. Anthony Hargrove was absent today for personal reasons. Injury Page.

Everett Visiting? WGRZ-TV is reporting that Kevin Everett is planning to visit Buffalo for the home finale on December 23rd against the Giants. The report says that his Grandfather has confirmed the visit. This comes on the heel of a stirring article in this week's Sports Illustrated. Everett is now walking on his own up to 50 yards.

Wednesday December 12, 2007

Kelsay, Wire Practice: Chris Kelsay and Coy Wire both took part in practice today and both will likely play on Sunday if they make it through the rest of the week ok. Kelsay was limited but Wire practiced fully. Ryan Denney took his usual Wednesday off from practice and Copeland Bryan remains sidelined. George Wilson was back with the team today after his hospital stay for broken ribs. He's already feeling better and hopes to be ready for the playoffs if the Bills are fortunate enough to make it that far. Injury Page.

Fairchild Staying Until End Of Season: It is now official, Steve Fairchild is leaving the Bills to become the new head coach at Colorado State. He is staying with the Bills until the end of the season. Officials at Colorado State say they knew from the outset that Fairchild wouldn't leave Buffalo until the end of the season and that is one of the reasons they wanted him. They like his commitment, integrity, honesty, accountability and responsibility to the team. Dick Jauron said that Fairchild is excited about the opportunity the Bills have going down the stretch and he doesn't anticipate any changes to his coaching staff at this time. Jauron figures there is a chance Fairchild takes other members of the staff with him to Colorado. Fairchild is expected to devote some time down the stretch to getting his staff together while still in Buffalo but he won't be doing any traveling at this time. Lee Evans and Trent Edwards both said that it won't affect the team heading into the big showdown this week. The gameplan is set and Fairchild will call the game like always.

Fairchild Deal Done: Reports now say that Colorado State is expected to announce this afternoon that Steve Fairchild will indeed be their new head coach leaving the Bills looking for a new offensive coordinator. No word yet on if Fairchild will finish the season with the Bills. Fairchild played for the college and was also a QB coach and then offensive coordinator there before leaving to coach in the pros. Hopefully the timing of this move won't be a distraction as the Bills prepare for the big game with Cleveland on Sunday. Let us know what you think by taking our poll on our homepage.

Fairchild Leaving? WGR radio is reporting that offensive coordinator Steve Fairchild has been tapped to take over the head coaching job at Colorado State. According to a report in the Sporting News he has already begun to contact assistance. There is no confirmation on this story at this time. We'll keep you updated.

Tuesday December 11, 2007

Huge Game Sunday: "The Battle of Lake Erie" is going to be the biggest game the Bills have played in since the season finale in 2004. That is why we have released our preview a day early to get the fans pumped up for the game. It will be tough for the Bills to stay toe to toe with the Browns offensively and even tougher playing in the Dawg Pound. Complete Preview.

Monday December 10, 2007

No Move For Bills/Giants Game: The NFL has decided to move the game between the Vikings and the Redskins to primetime on NBC next Sunday December 23rd. There had been rumors that the Bills game with the Giants would be moved but that isn't the case. It will remain at 1pm.

Wilson Out For Regular Season: Dick Jauron confirmed today that George Wilson is probably going to miss the last three games of the regular season and they need to evaluate the situation to see if they need to make a move. He remains in the hospital today before rejoining the team. The team has today and tomorrow off. Jim Leonhard will start in his place. Jauron is hopeful that Chris Kelsay and Coy Wire will be available for the big game in Cleveland. They will have to wait until Wednesday to see how Josh Stamer is doing. He left the game with a neck stinger. Injury Page.

RB Duo To Continue: The two 100 yard rushing games from Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson is exactly the combination one two punch that the Bills hoped they would get with Lynch healthy and the emergence of Jackson. Dick Jauron said that they would continue to use them as a combo although Lynch will get a few more carries as he rounds back into shape from his ankle injury. They will use a rotation but go with the hot hand. Both of them were hot yesterday and they both say they welcome the rotation.

Re-dedication of Biloxi City Cemetery -- Oct. 4, 2007

More than 300 people turned out for the re-dedication of the Biloxi City Cemetery, where the city's history was celebrated through re-enactments by student actors and family members whose ancestors were intrred in the cemetery, which dates back to the 1700s.. "This is sacred ground," Mayor A.J. Holloway told those assembled during a brief cermeony before guided tours were conducted. The tours stopped at seven gravesites were actors dressed in period garb told about the life of those buried at the respective site. The cermeony was organized by the Biloxi Bay Chamber of Commerce, with support from the city, Beau Rivage Resort and Casino, Bradford-O'Keefe Funeral Home and other businesses. Photos show restored gravesites and scenes from the re-dedication ceremony. Click on idividual images to enlarge.

Not sure which direction to go

So I had been looking at Audi A4's but recently I drove an 3 series and liked it a lot. I currently drive a 04 Yukon, so it would be a BIG change for me. The dilemma I am having is which direction to go as far as the year and model. There is a 06 330i sedan at the dealership, that has the premium package and thats it. It has about 47,000 miles and it is listed at $24,990. I do not like that it does not have the sport package and I am also looking for navigation, but it seems to be a good deal and maybe I can get them to switch out the wheels to something like the sport. My other option seems to be looking like a 2007 328i sedan, I do not have it exactly narrowed down, but I definitely would want the sport and at least premium package. What would you guys recommend and why? I am looking for as much info as possible since Im new to BMW's in general.
Thanks in advance!
Here is the place and website I am looking to buy from Search Used vehicles BMW of Columbia BMW in Columbia, Lexington, Chapin, Sumter, Blythewood South Carolina, offering new and Used BMWs, a Used BMW Dealer and a Used BMW Dealership offer Cars, Trucks and SUVs
Let me know if you guys see something that looks good.

University photographer takes top prize

Binghamton University Photographer Jonathan Cohen was awarded first prize in the photo-essay category of the University Photographer’s Association of America’s (UPAA) annual photos of the year competition. Cohen’s submission, titled “Forced to Flee,” portrays the flood evacuation at the University Events Center in September 2011.

The highly competitive contest receives entries from hundreds of university staff photographers across the country and is judged by the members of the organization during their annual symposium. Cohen also took home two honorable mentions for a portrait of alumna farmer Shannon Hayes, and the image of the lightning bolt over campus.

MacArthur Elementary Takes a Stand Against Bullying

Published 04/25 2014 04:39PM

Updated 04/25 2014 05:15PM

Students from the divided MacArthur Elementary School in Binghamton were reunited for an important message.

MacArthur held its Olweus anti-bullying assembly in the West Middle School auditorium. It is the last Binghamton school to officially kick-off the program.

The old MacArthur was damaged by the September 2011 flood and had to be torn down.

The students are divided between two former Catholic school buildings in Binghamton and Hillcrest.

"I think that it's important, because of our situation, that there's one message for our school. And it's important that both schools are together hearing that message as one," said principal Maria McIver.

McIver decided to engage community members in encouraging the kids to combat bullying.

Attending the assembly were Binghamton Mayor Rich David, a Binghamton police officer and firefighter, and members of the Binghamton University men's and women's basketball teams.

And the event finished off with a flash mob.

IO Informatics’ Working Solution

The software company has built a Personalized Medicine working group to tackle workflow bottlenecks.

By Allison Proffitt

September 15, 2009
| ‘My view of the world is that if you have a tough question to answer, it takes a village of diverse expertise to really answer it,” says Bruce McManus, head of the Prevention of Organ Failure Centre of Excellence (PROOF Centre) in Vancouver, Canada.

In this case, the village is the Informatics for Personalized Medicine working group, organized by IO Informatics.

“We’re interested in one focus, which is how do informatics, analytics, and technologies like ours contribute to personalized medicine,” says Robert Stanley, chair of the working group and IO Informatics’ president and CEO (see, “Building a Google for Bioinformatics,” Bio•IT World Jul 2007). The mandate of the working group is “developing practical applications of informatics technologies for personalized medicine.” Stanley concedes that there is certainly a strong bias, “but we think it’s a bias of general value.”

IO Informatics started the working group in January, their second such group, as a combination of customers, prospects, and other colleagues. The 11-member group comprises “individuals representing the spectrum of translational medicine,” said Stanley. There are representatives from early drug discovery, research hospitals, technology experts, systems biology experts, and three representatives from IO Informatics.

“To me the way that the group is set up is beneficial in that, as opposed to other working groups I’ve been a part of in the past, IO Informatics really listens to real world feedback. They’re a small company and I don’t see as many big egos in place.” says Kathy Gibson, who after 13 years at Pfizer started her own consulting firm, Helio Consulting, and earlier this year joined the IO Informatics’ advisory board. “The biggest part is not as much how they’re organized as their operating philosophy,”

It’s the philosophy that’s at the core of the working group, says Bill Hayden, director, international business development at IO Informatics. “Knowledge integration is fine within a group, it’s fine within a company, but if you really believe in that—which we do, obviously, and all the members do—integration of data throughout the whole spectrum should be better, should be the best, where you’re pulling from bench to bedside and back again. When you integrate all that data, you really do get the full picture.”

The topics up for discussion are brought by the working group members themselves. “Basically the working group offers an interface with clinician scientists who are creating large, complex, uneven datasets that need to be analyzed in a very rapid fire way, in a continuously refined way,” explains McManus. “IO Informatics benefits from this partnership—an intellectual partnership—by seeing the various settings and all of the challenges we’re faced with, and trying to extract information from the data.”

The working group conversations have resulted in talks given at scientific conferences and could, Stanley hints, lead to publications in the future.

An area focus for the current group is bringing biomarkers to point of care and early toxicity detection. “If you’re looking at different compounds, we can help the customer create profiles for different types of toxicity, and do that same kind of screening,” explains Stanley. “Go out and get different data sources and pull data though and get automated alerts—you know, this experimental compound is starting to show some toxicity in those assays—and do that much earlier and cast a broader net for toxicity detection.”

In the working group, McManus finds the discussions helpful. “IO Informatics comes at this in a very scholarly way, and they have some terrific people within that organization that are sort of intellectual relatives of our computational scientists within our own teams,” he says. “Having access to the network of people who are either on the working group or who are connected to the working group and having the free flow of information from a variety of media… has been very beneficial to our team here.” McManus has found the conversations to be a sort of “arms length validation of some of our own computational conclusions.”

Gibson agrees. “Most of us are coming at this having been in health care or biomedical research for a number of years, and know very well the opportunities and frustrations of having tons of data out there… and not being able to make effective use of it.” She says the problem is one she saw firsthand at Pfizer. “Lots of people have talked about this over this over the years, and to be frank not much has happened to improve mining large data stores and having it be intuitive to people. I think this working group is the best opportunity to whittle away at the problem.”

ASKed and Answered
From IO Informatics’ perspective, the working group has provided access to user questions and data. “It’s a two way street,” says Stanley. “Our products should be talking about their problems… [group members] talk methods, goals, and problems. We talk about solutions.”

Those relationships were instrumental in shaping IO Informatics’ new product, the Applied Semantic Knowledgebase, or ASK. “It’s a different type of knowledgebase,” says Stanley. “It’s not the kind of knowledgebase that you normally think of that has all of the information in a therapeutic area, all the proteins, genes, and pathways. It’s a knowledgebase containing the patterns that ‘make a difference’, the clusters of biomarkers that can be used for stratifying drugs according to their activity, or compounds according to their activity… It’s a practical hypothesis base.”

ASK is an enterprise product that works with other IO Informatics products to streamline toxicity profiling, target validation, patient stratification, and other tasks relying on a semantic database and arrays of SPARQL queries. It can automate screening and queries. Stanley said that the company had some ideas for a product like ASK, but time spent with the working group learning the users’ challenges and problems refined the concept. “It’s a learning relationship,” he says, “we share a high level vision for predictive biology and systems biology to change the face of drug discovery and health care.”

McManus echoes Stanley’s analogy. “[Our] only goal eventually is to find out ways to segment patients to care for them better... IO Informatics and their interest in trying to solve these complex problems fits perfectly with the [needs of] the independent working group members.” Besides, he continues, “It’s a lot of fun. Very few people get a chance to think about the world as a system and the biology of health as a system and I’m getting the privilege of doing that, and this working group is one of the vehicles for that privilege. In the end knowing that it’s very likely we’re going to be able to help.”

Re- Cloning PCR Products

Brett Beitzel brett_beitzel at MSMTP.FS.SACI.ORG
Mon Aug 19 09:06:45 EST 1996

Subject:Re: Cloning PCR Products                   Date: 8/19/96

If you are doing TA cloning, and your vector has been phosphatased, I would
think that you would have to kinase your PCR product.  Oligos are usually
5'OH (unless you specifically order 5'-phosphate), so your PCR product will
be 5' and 3' OH.
I've never done TA cloning, but I wonder if it is really necessary to
phosphatase the vector.  Since both 3' overhangs (on your vector) are T, you
shouldn't need to worry about vector ligating to itself.
I've always cloned my PCR products by digesting them with an enzyme that cuts
in the primer region (pretty straight-forward,) or by UDG cloning, in which
there is no need for a ligation.

Hope this helps,

age of oldest living micro-organism

JJF at JJF at
Mon Dec 9 05:11:03 EST 1996

Is there anyone, who knows, how long resting micro-organism (also spores)
can survive in deep surfaces layers? Is it possible to isolate "old"
bacteria species from drilling core samples dating back thousands or even
millions of years? And last not least is it possible to revive them on
agar plates?

Differentiation Help

Mike maj at unforgettable.com.nospam
Mon Mar 1 08:31:28 EST 1999

I'm a university student in a microbio intro course and we're working with
unknowns.  Many in the class, including myself, are having a difficult time
differentiating between rods and cocci on student-prepared Gram stain slides
at 1000X oil-immersion magnification.  Often they look like rods but also
dividing cocci.  The little "bugs" are just so small.

Any tips for the beginner?

Thanks in advance for your help!

[Microbiology] USP Microbial Limits Prep Test

Christina Benson via microbio%40net.bio.net (by cbenson from nutritionallabs.com)
Tue Sep 8 17:52:12 EST 2009

Hi there,

I was wondering if you would be willing to share the SOP you wrote on how to
perform the prep test?  I am having a hard time figuring it out.  I also
think it is kind of an oxymoron to be testing antimicrobial stuff.
Antimicrobial is good, right?  Why ruin it by neutralizing?

Thanks for your time,

Christina Benson

Biodiversity beyond protected areas

Recent assessments of the threats to biodiversity indicate that both climate change and human impact will put increasing pressure upon existing protected areas and that much biodiversity conservation will need to take place beyond these reserves. Even though regions beyond the reserves account for 88% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface, there is currently little scientific research into the processes and mechanisms that could enable these areas to support biodiverse ecosystems into the next century.

I am curious to hear your thoughts on whether or not they should make an AIDS vaccination and what you think they should be doing to make it happen, I am curious as it is a very interesting virus and it has many qualities that make it difficult to deal with, such as it being very fast and being able to take over host cells, please post your thoughts below

What our customers say

"Tracey is a LEGEND and her stores are a delight for all eco shoppers." Manda Epton, Maud N Lil Organic Cotton

"Yesterday I went into the Brisbane store and was greeted by a very lovely lady named Tiffany. I went in to purchase some makeup. Tiffany was so helpful. She suggested the brand that would suit my preferences (Adorn), helped with colour selection and ensured I had wipes to remove the makeup after using the testers. She wasn’t pushy and knew what she was talking about. I am wearing the makeup today and I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you to Tiffany for such lovely customer service. She was friendly, polite, helpful and her energy tells me she is a kind and caring person. I love Biome!"

"I initially sent an email enquiry to Biome and received a prompt reply that answered all of my questions to my satisfaction. I received my package within a week of ordering and all goods were packaged with care, and arrived in excellent condition. I fully intend to order more products from Biome, and I'll be advising my friends of this excellent business." Kat from NSW

We had a lovely response from a corporate customer recently who was looking for 25 books on "Green Practices" to give as gifts to some sustainability managers she was training. We sourced the books in the price range she required and shipped them within her deadline of just 3 days. Her response to us was "who says customer service is dead?" Apparently it's alive and well here at Biome.

"I just wanted to say thank you very much to all the team at Biome! I came across your online store not too long ago and have since made many purchases. I can't get enough of your great products and fantastic specials. You are also so quick at getting my order packed and delivered. The website is wonderful, it looks great and is so easy to navigate!
Keep up the good work and look forward to more satisfaction as one of your customers!" Jessica from Victoria

"I want to say that since purchasing the water purifier it's possibly the best purchase ever. Your product is AMAZING both in terms of taste, quality and design. Drinking quality water is SO important and this is second to none in my opinion. I will be telling as many people as possible about what a great product you have made and willing them to purchase one for each household and business I can. The price is extremely reasonable and the savings are huge now bottled water isn't needed. Thank you so much for creating such a quality and wonderful product."
Simon (A completely satisfied customer)

"I first used Biome when I lived in Brisbane, and still do now that I've relocated to Melbourne as luckily for me, their excellent service extends to delivering to VIC!! Yay! I love Biome because they have a great range of eco-friendly products, ranging from household cleaning, to drink bottles, to quirky gift ideas for that something a bit different. Their product knowledge is fabulous and no question is too silly. Their prices are reasonable, as eco-friendly products tend to have a slightly higher price tag but I think they offer value within that landscape. A bit of a go-to shop for me, and would thoroughly recommend Biome to anyone." Naotodd in Canterbury

"My experience with Biome was very good. I bought SIGG water bottles from the online store. I thought the range for these products was very good as I was looking for particular designs/sizes and most physical stores I've been to don't have very many. The website was well designed and my items shipped very quickly. I also liked how they are responsible in packaging items in reused materials." Tash from Valentine

"Used this company because of their commitment to environmental issues and range of environmentally conscious products. They provided a fabulous service, great range of products, and was promptly delivered in minimal packaging. Would use again for sure!" Blueblue from Orange

"Great products at a reasonable price. Ecologically and fair trade sound. Biome has taken selling to a finer level. I'm very happy with my purchases and happy to recommend a company with great ethics as well as fantastic products!"
Leanne from Goosberry Hill

"I trust Biome to only stock the best natural products with no nasties. The site is easy to navigate and orders are sent promptly. I've been purchasing from Biome for over a year with no problems whatsoever." Thalian from Newtown

"Ordered a couple of Kleen Kanteen water bottles through Biome, they arrived within a couple of days, packaged really well with useful info. Have always been really impressed with the service provided from Biome and the quality of the products they stock." Dee from Ashfield

"Great range of products, easy to navigate website, good specials and very speedy delivery. Particularly liked the personalised note!" Anna from Hamilton

"Before making my online purchase, I was able to phone and get valuable advice about the product I was buying. Products arrived soon after. I have always been very happy dealing with this eco conscious business." Kim from Indooroopilly

"Great website, really fast service. I loved how my parcel was packed with care, most things were individually wrapped. It has wonderful "green gift ideas." Delm from Como

"Great items in store (we bought Sigg water bottles) and the order we placed on the internet was delivered next day in Brisbane area!! TOP-shop, I highly recommend Biome." Andrea from Shailer Park

October 2012 | A Splash of Vanilla | www.asplashofvanilla.com

Due to our drinking water being, ahem, less than desirable regarding certain additives, impurities and such, I’ve been on the lookout for a water filter for some time. I drink a lot of water as I believe it’s important to health and wellbeing but I’m not terribly keen knowing I’m also taking in some additio nal properties – for me, it’s not just about the actual intake of impurities but also the fact that someone else is controlling what goes into public drinking water, if that makes any sense. But don’t mind me, I grew up a hippie kid so I’m always questioning authority in some way! Read more...

May/June 2012 | ARA Retailer

For a growing number of retailers and entrepreneurs, ethics and business go hand in hand. A strong, passionate philosophical standpoint is the cornerstone of the business and its presence is felt in every transaction.

Tracey Bailey, founder of Brisbane-based business Biome, is one such entrepreneur. With a lifelong passion for environmental awareness and eco friendly philosophies underpinning every business decision, Tracey has not only grown the business to the multichannel operation it is today - she has created a following of employees, customers and fans who live by the same values and beliefs.

The Biome business has come a long way since it began in 2003 as an online eco store. It now has two stores in Brisbane and stocks a complete range of products, all of which have to meet a stringent set of environmentally friendly criteria to even be stocked.

Earth is for life not just for Christmas

Earth is for life not just for Christmas
December 17-23, 2008 | Brisbane News

Just because you want to help the planet doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy the festive season. Lucy Brook highlights a few environmentally sound ideas.

The season of twinkling lights is upon us, but all that shimmering can expend huge amounts of energy. Switching to light emitting diodes – or LEDs- will save you money in the long run, says Tracey Bailey, owner of the Biome Eco stores in Paddington and Brisbane City. “LED lights are slightly more expensive than standard tree lights but use less electricity so cost less to run.”

Tracey says LEDs, available at department stores, also generate less heat so reduce fire risk, have a longer lifespan than regular bulbs and don’t contain mercury.

Candles for tables create ambience and an environmentally friendly glimmer – try Australian made and owned Queen B
Beeswax candles
($8.50 each, from Biome, www.biome.com.au) which are free of petroleum products.

And don’t forget to turn off Christmas lights overnight – the big man will still find you.

Catering for rellies often means using plastic plates, cups and cutlery – a notion that makes environmentalists squirm.

“Disposable plastic plates and cups are made from petrochemicals, creating pollution in their production and when thrown out they sit in landfill forever,” says Tracey Bailey from Biome. The solution? Either some serious washing up, or stylish, earth-friendly alternatives. Try the Palm Leaf Plates from Biome ($14.95 for 25), which can be cut up and used on your garden as mulch.

Firmly commited to eco principles, Brisbane’s Biome is a chic retail outlet with a conscience.

Tucked in among the hustle and bustle of Adelaide Street in Brisbane’s CBD is a breath of fresh air – Australia’s greenest retail outlet, Biome. Step inside and say hello to the latest in eco-conscious style. We love the swish fabric panels in the window, sleek floor and chic fit-out – all environmentally friendly. The store is bursting with integrity, from the use of hemp fabrics and a poured recycled resin floor to a vintage WWII mess table. That’s before we start on the delightful wares for sale, such as hardy palm leaf plates that can be composted when you’re finished and cute-as-
a-button organic baby products.

Biome is the love child of Tracey Bailey, a mum and ex-corporate communications consultant, who “just wanted to do her bit”. Tracey has certainly done that and, amazingly, manages to do even more. “We have a little competition here to see how little we can send to landfill,” she says with a smile. “Our ultimate aim is for an empty wheelie bin.”

Ligation of Fc gamma receptor IIB enhances levels of antiviral cytokine in response to PRRSV infection in vitro.
MedLine Citation:
PMID:  22771209     Owner:  NLM     Status:  Publisher
PRRSV infection ADE facilitates the attachment and internalization of the virus onto its host cells, such as monocytes and macrophages, through Fc receptor-mediated endocytosis. FcγRIIB is the only inhibitory receptor with a tyrosine-based inhibitory motif (ITIM) in its cytoplasmic tail, where counters the "ITAM triggered" activation signals and down-regulates phagocytosis. However, porcine FcγRIIB's role in the antiviral immune response to PRRSV infection has not been studied. In this study, our results indicated that selective activation of porcine FcγRIIB in PAM cells up-regulated significantly mRNA levels of IFN-α and TNF-α at any time point post-pretreatment, suggesting that porcine FcγRIIB signal can enhance the innate antiviral response of host cells. PRRSV infection assay mediated by FcγRIIB indicated that selective activation of porcine FcγRIIB in PAM cells enhanced mRNA levels of antiviral cytokine (IFN-α and TNF-α) and repressed mRNA levels of IL-10 in response to PRRSV infection, suggesting that FcγRIIB ligation can enhance the antiviral immune response to PRRSV infection. In addition, FcγRIIB ligation to infection indicated that PRRSV replication in PAM was not positive correlation with increasing of IFN-α mRNA levels and decreasing of IL-10 mRNA levels, suggesting that there is complex viral replication mechanism in immune cells such as PAM for PRRSV.

Context:Most previous studies of 45,X/46,XY mosaicism are case reports or have described single aspects of the disease.Objective:The objective was to provide longitudinal data of patients with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism.Design:This was a retrospective, longitudinal study conducted from June 1990 to January 2012.Setting:The study took place at a tertiary pediatric and andrological referral center.Patients or Other Participants:Twenty-five patients (18 boys, seven girls) with 45,X/46,XY mosaicism and its variants were included and were compared to healthy controls.Intervention(s):No interventions were included in the study.Main Outcome Measure(s):Phenotypes were scored using external masculinization scores. Serum LH, FSH, testosterone, estradiol, and inhibin B levels were reported in male patients. IGF-I levels and height were reported in all patients. Available biopsies/gonadectomies were histologically examined.Results:Fourteen of 18 males had external masculinization scores consistent with normal virilization. Ten of 11 male patients experienced spontaneous puberty. Median height sd score was -2.0 (range, -3 to 0.3) for males and -2.2 (range, -2.5 to -1.4) for females, both considerably below genetic potential. Median 1-yr height gain after GH treatment in seven patients was 0.5 sd (0.1 to 1.2). All tissue samples from 15 patients (eight males, seven females) revealed abnormal gonadal histology. Four patients had carcinoma in situ (CIS); two had tissue samples available from early childhood, one showing CIS.Conclusions:Gonadal function in most 45,X/46,XY males, even those with genital ambiguity, seems sufficient for spontaneous puberty. Short stature and 45,X/46,XY mosaicism seem associated, but patients appear to benefit from GH treatment. Histology from two patients with biopsies from early childhood indicates that CIS originates before puberty.
