STE11 encodes a mitogen activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) which is involved in the MAPK pathways governing mating, osmosensing, and filamentous growth (reviewed in 6, 7, 8, 9). Although STE11 is not essential for viability, a null mutation in this gene results in sterility (10). STE11 homologs have been identified in yeasts such as Candida and Cryptococcus, and in Arabidopsis (11, 12, 13).
After exposure to pheromones, osmotic stress, or nutrient starvation, Ste11p is phosphorylated by the protein kinase Ste20p (14). Ste11p and Ste20p are brought together through the action of the adaptor protein Ste50p, which tethers Ste11p to the plasma membrane via association with the Rho-like GTPase Cdc42p (15, 16, 17 and references therein). During osmoregulation, plasma membrane association of Ste11p is further mediated by direct interactions with the osmotic signal receptor Sho1p (reviewed in 18 and 6).
Once activated, Ste11p phosphorylates the correct target MAPKK, either Ste7p for the mating and filamentous growth pathways or Pbs2p for the osmosensing pathway, via interactions with the scaffolding proteins Ste5p and Pbs2p, respectively. (19, 20). During pheromone response, Ste5p tethers Ste11p, Ste7p, and either of the MAPKs Fus3p or Kss1p. During osmoregulation, Pbs2p brings together Sho1p, Ste11p, the MAPK Hog1p, and also serves as the MAPKK target (21, and reviewed in 22).
Ste11p consists of a C-terminal kinase domain and three N-terminal regulatory domains: a sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain which binds to the Ste50p protein, a domain that interacts with Ste5p, followed by a catalytic-binding domain (CBD) that can bind and inhibit the activity of the C-terminus (reviewed in 7). Interaction of CBD with the catalytic domain is disrupted by the binding of Ste50p to the SAM domain and by Ste20p-mediated phosphorylation of serine and threonine residues in the CBD (23, 24). In response to pheromones, Ste11p is also regulated by ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation (25).
There are some discrepancies in STE11 literature as to the exact length of the protein since there are three in-frame ATGs in the STE11 coding sequence. Originally it was thought that translation begins at the first ATG, but it was later shown that the third ATG is the actual start codon (1).

George Fox ranks nationally in 'Kiplinger's' list of 'Best Value' private colleges
George Fox students get one of the top values among private universities in the United States. According to Kiplinger's Personal Finance magazine, the criteria of value is based upon measurable standards that include cost, student debt, admissions selectivity, average test scores, student-faculty ratio and graduation rates.
Kiplinger's ranks George Fox No. 80 overall for "best value" and No. 4 among schools in the 113-member Council of Christian Colleges & Universities. In fact, our graduates have the least debt among all CCCU schools in the category.
Ranking among CCCU schools
George Fox ranked No. 80 overall and No. 4 among schools in the 113-member Council for Christian Colleges & Universities in the publication's "Private Universities" category. Princeton University and Yale University ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, on the list of private universities that best combine outstanding quality with affordability.
Among CCCU colleges that earned a spot in the top-100 private universities list, only Union University (No. 61), Whitworth University (No. 62) and Point Loma Nazarene University (No. 67) ranked higher than George Fox, making the Oregon institution the highest-ranked Christian college in the state in Kiplinger's assessment of overall quality and value. Kiplinger's also produces top-100 lists for liberal arts colleges and public colleges.
Rankings criteria
Each year, Kiplinger's assesses quality according to measurable standards, including the percentage of students who are admitted out of those who applied, the test scores of incoming freshmen, the ratio of students to faculty members, and the four- and five-year graduation rates.
This year, Kiplinger's adjusted its criteria to better reflect the issues affecting families. Now, the rankings give more weight to the four-year graduation rate – a measure of the college's ability to deliver academic support and of the overall cost to families – and to colleges that keep student debt down.
The formula to determine rankings considered cost and financial aid (31.25 percent), competitiveness (25 percent), academic support (12.5 percent), graduation rates (18.75 percent) and student indebtedness (12.5 percent).
"The institutions on Kiplinger's rankings for best value in private colleges represent schools that provide high-quality academics as well as affordable cost even in these tough times," said Jane Bennett Clark, senior associate editor for Kiplinger's Personal Finance. "With money tight and the college choice so important, you have every reason to expect the best bang for your buck."
Most families pay 'net price'
On the surface, private colleges are too pricey for many families, charging an average total amount of about $37,000 a year, according to the College Board. But the net price – the amount families actually pay – runs far less, making even the most elite schools affordable for students who qualify for financial aid. For example, at George Fox, the average financial aid package of $21,749 reduces the total cost to attend significantly.
In fact, George Fox's average debt at graduation ($18,428) was the lowest among the CCCU schools in the private universities category.
The annual college rankings appear in the magazine's December issue, on newsstands Nov. 8. An expanded ranking with a total of 200 private institutions appears on Kiplinger's website, at kiplinger.com/links/college. The magazine specializes in articles on savings and investments, taxes, money management, home ownership and many other personal finance topics, according to the magazine's website.
In addition to the Kiplinger's evaluation, George Fox is rated as a "Best Value" school by U.S. News & World Report in that publication's 2011-12 rankings, released in August.

I've been to Opening Day for the past three years now and this would be my fourth year in a row. Basically, since I moved back to Wisconsin I have gone to Opening Day every year. I've had good times and I've had bad. I've had girls hold my hand because they were drunk (or as I like to call it, second base), I've had a fight broken up because the other person liked Kobe Bryant just a little too much, I've gone crazy for my favorite player and I've dealt with that traffic that you see in the picture. It's always been fun, but so has every Brewers game that I've ever been to. (Well, except for that one.) I guess the question I am asking is, does a good Opening Day matter? Should I even bother? I mean, as a person who is kind of crazy about baseball, a person who spends a lot of his free time writing about it for free on a website, you'd think that I'd be a shoo-in for Opening Day, but lately I've been questioning it.

Brewers sign best available free agent
Let's call it like it is, the Brewers needed a starting pitcher. Randy Wolf was arguably the best pitcher available. They got him. What the hell is everone whining about? Yes, it's too much money but free agents always get too much money. Alcides Escobar will be one of the most valuable players on the Brewers this season and he will make the league minimum. Jeff Suppan will be one of the worst and he'll be the highest paid. Randy Wolf is overpaid for his performance and Alcides Escobar and Ryan Braun are underpaid for theirs. That's how it works. It's stupid, but that's how it works. So, it's not too much money because it already is too much money. (That makes sense, right?)
Is it too many years? Not really. Continue reading →

The Brain Benefits of Sitting Up
A study shows that good posture is not just good for the body—it's good for Baby's brain
Sit up straight, Baby! Good posture matters, according to recent research that shows the simple act of sitting up may give babies' brains a boost when it comes to learning about objects.
Published in the journal Developmental Psychology, the joint study, conducted by researchers from North Dakota State University and Texas A&M, set up a series of experiments in which 5-1/2- and 6-1/2-month-old babies looked at, touched, and mouthed a variety of tot-friendly objects.
What can sitting up do that lying down can't? The results showed that babies who were sitting up had an easier time reaching for, grasping, manipulating and inspecting objects—some of the most basic ways young children learn about touch, shape, and texture.
Two of the experiments involved babies who sat unassisted, but one looked at babies who needed support to sit up (i.e. from a blanket or nursing pillow). The good news? Even when babies needed assistance, the benefits of sitting up were still detected.
What seems to be going on, speculate researchers, is that sitting up frees babies to put their attention less on themselves and more on their environment. "If babies don't have to focus on balancing, their attention can be on exploring the object," says study co-author Rebecca J. Woods, assistant professor of human development and family science and doctoral psychology lecturer at North Dakota State University, in a university press release.
Babies typically reach the milestone of sitting up unassisted at around six months. At this age, babies are growing stronger by the day and are naturally more curious. They begin to detect more patterns, understand more words, and begin to realize there is a whole wide world out there ready to explore.
"I can definitely see this," says Heather Simpson, a Colorado mom whose 7-month-old began sitting up unassisted a few weeks ago. "We now call her 'Little Miss Grabby' because every time I turn around, she has something different in her hands. She has a pretty long reach when she bends over and then just pops right back up to sitting. It's cute to watch, and I can definitely see that she has become more and more interested in what's beyond the little play mat she's spent the last six months on."
Curiosity and learning are two wonderful traits to observe in your growing little one. But play it safe, mama! Now that your baby's grasp is improving and her confidence and strength are growing, take time to do a safety sweep wherever your baby plops down. Make sure any objects that could be choking hazards—or dangerous to your baby in other ways—are out of reach, or even better, out of sight!

TEAMS: Washington Redskins
One of the more amusing things about being a journalist are those moments when do you do a report or a post about something that is common sense, but you have to report it anyway. In our common sense post of the day, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan took time out from the league meetings going on to address his franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III. Shanahan while speaking about his quarterback told the Washington Posts Mark Maske that his quarterback indeed "needs to learn to slide or throw the ball away to protect himself." "Griffin will have to learn to slide, throw the ball away, protect himself, you can't take shots consistently," Shanahan said, via Mark Maske of theWashington Post. Shanahan after saying all that, made it known that he won't be eliminating the read option from his offense. "The option will help a quarterback stay healthy," Shanahan said. We will see how long Griffin III and that read option last.

A while back a man I work with asked me out. I was surprised since heÆs recently separated. I had little expectations but decided to go out with him. Well, six months have gone by and things have been relatively good. Sure, there have been ups and downs. From time to time he withdraws and wants to spend time with his friends or alone; this bothers me and makes me feel insecure. HeÆs explained that he has a lot of pressure on him due to his pending divorce and his work responsibilities; heÆs also stressing out about the fact that heÆs turning 60 soon. I definitely understand some of what heÆs going through but itÆs his lack of communication that is difficult and make me feel insecure. IÆve expressed my concerns and fears to him and heÆs said he wants to try and meet me halfway. IÆm happy with this plan, but I hope heÆll follow through. I donÆt want to feel alone or waste my time waiting for him to figure out what he wants. I also donÆt want him to be turned off by my insecurity. Is there something I can do here to help him see IÆm worth his attention?
Insecure and Scared
Dear Insecure and Scared,
Thanks for your question. You canÆt convince him of anything or make him feel a certain way. But confidence is attractive; itÆs also a relief to be with someone whoÆs secure because thereÆs a clear distinction between being with someone you feel obliged to support Ś emotionally Ś and being with someone you choose to support.
Confidence can manifest itself in a variety of ways but in your case itÆs all about independence. Your guy wants someone whoÆs at a similar life stage as him. HeÆs busy. He probably has kids to see, a demanding job, friends. And now that heÆs getting divorced he wants to do all the things he felt he couldnÆt do while married. This likely means resuming hobbies, hanging with friends, and focusing more on work. Yes, he may also want you in his life, but not to the point where heÆs going to want to give up all of these other things to have a relationship with you. And he doesnÆt want to feel guilty when heÆs off participating in activities or events without you. He wants to know youÆre happily involved with your own life Ś family, activities and friends Ś while heÆs busy living his. Otherwise heÆs going to cut ties, especially since the last thing he wants is to be tied down in a serious relationship after getting divorced.
That said, I do agree with you. He does need to follow through on his promise to communicate better and more often. A short call, or a few texts daily wouldnÆt be that big of a deal. Hopefully heÆll see that this extra effort is worth it, and that maybe after a time heÆll start to weave you into the fabric of his life. Right now you need to be patient and self-assured while he works through this transition.
Page 2 of 2 - Last thing, if at some point you find yourself doing all the heavy lifting, then maybe heÆs not the guy you thought he was. Sure, he gets a pass for the time being, but relationships are a two-way street. Eventually, the two of you need to be on the same page. If not, you might need to reconsider this relationship.
Good luck,

Add in a few other strong possibilities here -- including Sony Pictures Classics' "Kill Your Darlings," starring an outstanding Daniel Radcliffe, and "Tracks," the John Curran-Mia Wasikowska drama -- plus Telluride's enthusiastic reception for Fox Searchlight's "12 Years a Slave" and WB-Alcon's "Prisoners," and it's already shaping up to be a hot year.
Both films seem likely contenders in multiple categories. The first is a dazzling showpiece for its director and below-the-line workers, while the latter is a great vehicle for Judi Dench. But as the season progresses, strategists will need to remind voters that these films are much more than that.
Technically, "Gravity" is a groundbreaker, as much as "Avatar," "Hugo" and "Life of Pi." Like those pics, it's garnering praise for the director, in this case Alfonso Cuaron. But even more than the earlier 3D trio, this one in inspiring awards talk for its script (by Cuaron and his son Jonas Cuaron) and the acting. There is bravura work by Sandra Bullock, at a level not usually seen in "tech movies," and George Clooney, even with limited screen time, proves that nobody can play certain roles as well as he can. (Perverse question: It's got a small cast, but everybody does great work, so would SAG voters consider this for an ensemble award? Just asking...)
After two morning screenings for the media, "Philomena" had an SRO press conference, with journos stumbling over themselves to praise the film as they asked silly questions. One reporter asked director Stephen Frears if he thought this film could repeat the path of his "The Queen," which bowed at Venice and went on to Oscar glory. He gave a rumpled, deadpan stare and said simply "I've no idea." Steve Coogan, best known as a comic actor, not only was a producer and writer of the film, onscreen he holds his own with Dench (no small feat).
A lot can happen between now and March 2, but the crystal ball looks very good for both film at this point.
Daniel Radcliffe is the main attraction in "Kill Your Darlings," proving again that he's not just a star, but a real actor. Below the line here is also impressive, re-creating the world of young Alan Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac. It might be a challenge to market, but the SPC gang love good challenges.
And the big question with "Tracks" is its release date. So far, the film doesn't have a U.S. distrib. But since it's here, in Telluride and Toronto, a domestic buy seems imminent. The only other question is whether it will be released this year or next.
On the fall fest circuit, Venice is not as kudos-centric as Telluride or Toronto. But given the strong showings here and in Telluride, and a jaw-dropping lineup for Toronto, this is shaping up as an exciting, and crowded, year.

I had the pleasure of getting up on a stage at SPTechCon Boston 2012 with Dan Usher (@usher) and Jason Himmelstein (@sharepointlhorn) to talk about SharePoint Authentication and Authorization. We were stepping in for Liam Cleary (@helloitsliam) and had some big shoes to fill. Thanks to all who came out to the session and if you have any questions, don't forget to reach out.
Dan Usher (@usher) and I presented on the pitfalls of migrating to the SharePoint 2010 platform at SPTechCon Boston 2012. Thanks again everyone to came out.
It's been a pleasure to attend and speak at SPTechcon Boston 2012 with Dan Usher (@usher). Our first presentation was a 1/2 day workshop on SharePoint Administration for the new Site Collection Admin. Thanks again to all who attended.
SharePoint Saturday Virginia Beach 2012 is a wrap and it was a great time. Thanks to all who came out to attend the session with Dan Usher and I on Pitfalls of Migration to SharePoint 2010.
Organizations of all sizes are begging their technical departments to setup SharePoint 2010 so that they're able to make use of some of the capabilities introduced within the SharePoint 2010 platform. While designing, implementing, configuring and deploying a system in and of itself has its own set of challenges, migrating into that shiny new SharePoint can be even more difficult. In this session, Scott and Dan will share some of their experiences and lessons learned tips, tricks and pointers for ensuring that you've considered the various aspects of challenges that arise during a migration effort. Further, as a bonus they'll share how to not fall prey to some of these pitfalls but rather be able to show that you're a well rounded professional that's thought things through before pressing the enter key.
SharePoint Saturday Richmond is a wrap. Thank you to those who attended my sessions (and a special thanks to Dan Usher for allowing me to present with him). I apologize for the brevity of the Managed Metadata session, but there's only so much disappointment I can dole out at once.
SharePoint Saturday DC - The Conference has kicked off and seems to be running full steam ahead. As promised, here is my deck from SharePoint Saturday DC - The Conference. Thanks to all who came out to my session on Managed Metadata - The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome
There are many different types of repetitive strain injuries that one may fall victim to due to overuse of the muscles of bones of the body. Often it is caused due to the strain incurred in the workplace. Most of these injuries can be easily treated with the symptoms eliminated quickly and easily.
Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome – Definition
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome is a subset of the problem known as complex regional pain syndrome. There are two different types of the complex regional pain syndrome
- Type 1 – It is known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome.
- Type 2 – It is known as causalgia.
Both of these syndromes result in a serious feeling of pain that is experienced by the afflicted individual.
The exact cause of this syndrome is still unknown, but the suspected causes include stress, illness, and injuries. It's a problem that can strike at any age, but more often than not, people between the ages of forty and sixty are affected.
Both men and women fall victim to the syndrome, but women are more likely to contract it. The syndrome develops near the site of an injury that a person has recently experienced.
Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome sufferers may experience a feeling of intense, burning pain that may in fact spread outside of the original area of injury, sometimes even spreading to the opposite limb of where the injury occurred.
The symptoms of type 1 complex regional pain system include intense feelings of pain near the area of injury which is sometimes accompanied by muscle spasms as well as a lack of mobility in the area. Sometimes, hair and nail growth in the area will increase to a highly noticeable degree.
There are no precise tests that can appropriately diagnose complex regional pain syndrome, and most often, doctors diagnose the syndrome purely off of the symptoms that the afflicted person says that they are experiencing.
There are many methods when it comes to treating the syndrome. Many different drugs may be of merit, including anti-depressants as well as corticosteroids, alpha and beta blockers, and others.
Many patients opt for physical therapy as a means of eliminating the syndrome. Since the pain can be great when one moves the affected area, they often neglect moving it which can actually aggravate the problem. Inactivity can lead to growth of the syndrome.
Most often, Doctors prescribe an injection of an anesthetic in order to treat the problem as a first step. Neurostimulation has also been shown to be of merit, helping to ease the pain of reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome by stimulating the spinal cord.
Now that you know more about the problem known as reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome, you'll be better able to diagnose the problem should it affect you.
You may want to consider speaking with a doctor if you experience the symptoms of Reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome in order to plan the best course of action for dealing with RSDS.

What is the wise child seeking from this experience? How do the parents respond to this child? What is so wicked about the second child? What kind of response does he deserve? How does one teach a simple-minded child? What makes the final child silent? How can Jewish tradition open this child up?
For extra background, consider the following: in addition to the version of the Four Children that we know from the Haggadah, another ancient text (the Jerusalem Talmud, Pesahim 10.4) renders the questions and answers differently.
There, the wise child asks, as usual: "What are the testimonies and statutes . . . " and is told: "By a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of bondage."
The wicked child's question is expanded: "What does this service mean to you? Why do you harrass us every year with this drudgery?" The answer is given in the third person: "God acted for me, but would not for that person. If that person was in Egypt, he would have been unworthy of being redeemed."
The third child is not tam, innocent or naive, as in our Haggadah, but tippesh, stupid. When that child asks: "What is this?" The answer comes: "Teach him the laws, i.e., that after eating the Pesah sacrifice itself, there is no afikoman [revelry]."
To the final child, who does not ask, "prompt him first."
How might this version make your answer different than your response to the classical Haggadah alone?

In the wake of Friday's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., Virginia Sen. Janet Howell (D-Reston) says she will reintroduce a bill that would close the commonwealth's gun show loophole, which allows people to buy firearms at gun shows without a background check.
"It's tragic," Howell says about the shooting that killed 20 schoolchildren and six adults. "I don't know whether I'm more angry or sad over it. I have introduced this bill in the past, and so have other people, but I'm hopeful there will be a better chance of passage this year."
Closing the gun show loophole is among several gun bills in Virginia that repeatedly have been introduced and died in committee or are otherwise defeated. There are already 13 firearms bills prefiled for the 2013 session that are carryovers of bills from 2012.
"Virginia was the scene of a great gun tragedy," said Del. Ken Plum (D-Reston), referring to the 2007 mass shooting at Virginia Tech. "In spite of that, though, we have seen constant erosion of limited gun laws. We saw the one-handgun-a month-law repealed this year. You can now have guns in restaurants. It is time to repeal all that."
Plum says gun laws are among the most divisive issues in a state like Virginia. The key lies in persuading downstate legislators to co-sponsor bills that would make guns tougher to obtain, Plum says.
"Not many people are willing to take on the gun lobby," he said.
Del. Scott Surovell (D-Mount Vernon), who was a sponsor of a 2011 bill (that died in committee) about limiting the number of bullets in a clip, says the attitudes of residents in Northern Virginia need to be better represented in state policy.
"In the national election, Virginia, from Loudoun and Prince William counties north votes like Massachusetts," he said. "From that line and south, it votes like Kentucky. We ought to be able to keep guns out of bars, but the state says we can't."
In 2012, Gov. Bob McDonnell repealed a 19-year-old law that limited gun purchases to one per month. In 2010, Virginia became one of four states allowing guns in bars.
However, Del. Dave Albo (R-Springfield) points out Virginia has also toughened some firearms laws in recent years.
"After Virginia Tech, we made changes to the law that fixed the problem that [the shooter] was able to get weapons even though he had a history of mental illness," Albo said.
Albo also said lawmakers don't only vote on party lines. He voted to keep the one-gun-a-month law, for instance.
"No one wants to see anyone get killed by criminals," he said. "Even if we ban guns in America, there are 100 million guns out there. Sixty percent of people in the U.S. own guns. I am interested in people giving me ideas that we can look at, that actually do something."
Howell and Surovell say they have both heard from a handful of constituents since Friday. Their message: Guns are too available and it is time to act.
"I hope at this point we have reached a tipping point," Howell said. "One thing everyone agrees on is that access should be limited to keeping guns from mentally ill people and those with a history of violence.
"There are other things that need to be done as well," Howell said. "I think the federal level needs to look at restricting assault weapons and look more into improving mental health programs."

The new Fox drama "Sleepy Hollow" debuted on FOX 10 Monday. It's based on Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" -- about an area in upstate New York famous for its haunting atmosphere and headless horseman.
But Arizona has its own haunted hot spots.
One such place is Jerome, an hour and a half drive northwest of the valley.
"People report hearing lady voices, being touched, being scratched," said Richard Johnson, Jerome tour guide.
Our first stop in downtown Jerome -- the Connor Hotel built in 1898. Richard Johnson from Ghost Town Tours was our guide.
"People have seen a man in a Victorian jacket and a bowler hat, that was the fashion of men with wealth in the early 1900s."
A team of paranormal investigators joined us for a visit inside the Connor. Renee Bermudez is a local psychic.
"She's here waiting and hoping the person she is waiting for will eventually come and rescue her," said Bermudez.
And Terri Stanley is a Jerome spirit seeker.
"In the hallway I always feel negative energy like fear," said Stanley.
The Connor was full of guests when we arrived. And according to our team -- not all of them flesh and blood.
"I know there is something beyond the floor I am always getting high ratings from there."
"You hear a lot of 'help me' in this town, a lot of that's because life back then wasn't easy at all," said Bermudez.
"I can feel it there is something here, I am recording now and maybe pick up an EVP," said Stanley.
Stanley carries a digital recorder she hopes will capture an EVP, which stands for Electronic Voice Phenomenon. Recorded sounds that some claim, come from beyond the grave.
"I got a 102 EVPs on a three hour tour."
Terri recorded a few while we were in a room at the Connor. Listen closely -- it sounds like someone whispers, "tell them."
Here it is, three more times:
"Tell them, tell them, tell them."
Did you hear it? Not everyone can. But you can clearly hear one of these.
Everyone on the team carries an EMF meter. Popular on ghost hunting shows, some believe EMF meters detect energy from those who have passed.
But they also beep near power lines and electronic equipment.
"What we are using is a scanner that will detect out of the white noise and bring their voices to us," said Jerry Wills.
At sunset we visit the cemetery in Jerome, with Jerry Wills, who holds another ghost hunting tool.
"What you are hearing is this device scanning through all the white noise frequencies trying to establish a voice."
Now living in Jerome too -- you may remember Jerry Wills.
He's a well-known intuitive healer who says he uses life energy fields to heal -- the same energy fields some believe are left behind when someone dies.
"These people lived here and they died here working in these mines, working in these hills."
The cemetery isn't on anyone's tour. The barren, rocky hill is now protected from grave robbers. But a few headstones remain.
On this night the graveyard ghosts weren't very talkative.
"If you are there say something to us."
But the town's tragic past is well preserved here. Death from fire, mine accidents, and disease was common.
"Many of these stones, these headstones that you see out here in this old old cemetery are from children that died."
Scott Perin lives with the results of Jerome's tragic past.
"I've been up here about 18 years now," said Scott Perin.
He's seen what was left behind when the population dropped from the thousands to just 20 after the mine was closed.
"You go into some of the abandoned houses, there are still dishes in the table, clothes in the closets, food in the pantry."
He believes some people who have passed on are still here too.
"I feel them and I accept that they are there."
"There's just a weird creepy feeling here," said Wills.
Night comes early to Jerome, and we save the best for last.
"Typically they would come here and never leave alive."
The Jerome mental asylum.
"This is where people either had gone mad or poisoned or whatever, they were mentally not right."
This time holding an EMF meter, Wills checks the building's electrical panel to test it. It's normal. But right away, Jerry knows something isn't right.
Then, the EMF meter picks up something else.
"This is really interesting."
The lights flash brightly on the meter as Wills starts asking questions.
"I get the idea you want to leave, is that right? Ah yes, bumped it up to the red so that means yes."
Whether or not we had a visitor outside the asylum that night, most who still live in Jerome are sure of at least one thing. Their town is still a ghost town.
"They still have business and they don't know how to resolve it and I think that's why there are quite a few who are still here."

Dr. Kevin J. Drury's Ratings
Dr. Drury is thorough, knowledgeable, caring, helpful, modest, hard-working, and humanistic. He kept my father alive for many years through many difficulties and he explained the real meaning of DNR when no one else seemed to be able to do so. He never panicked but only made adjustments to medication and/or treatment. His only limitation that I can see would be to wonder how long he will keep practicing.

Woodworker's Journal
But, as my workshop efforts often do, this raised a question in my mind. Is CNC routing right for home shop woodworking? Is it cheating, or just the natural next step for technology in a shop? I am thinking that you might have an opinion … and I would like to hear it. And, as always, if you send me a piece of your mind, it will likely end up in our Feedback department so that other woodworkers can benefit from your offering.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) - Second-half substitute Kelyn Rowe broke a scoreless game in the 70th minute to lift the Revolution to a 2-0 win over the Chicago Fire on Saturday night.
Rowe, who came on in the 64th minute, gave the Revolution the advantage while Benny Feilhaber added another in the 73rd minute. Revolution goalkeeper Matt Reis made three saves to preserve the shutout, his second of the season.
The win snapped the Revolution's 2-game winless streak and upped their record to 5-7-1 (16 points). Meanwhile, the Fire dropped their second straight and fell to 5-5-3 (21 points).
The Revs and Fire struggled to find scoring chances in the first half, as Reis and Fire goalkeeper Sean Johnson were rarely tested.

Waterford & Wedgwood Crystal Wine Glasses & Crystal Glassware
Crystal wine glasses and crystal glassware bring a touch of elegance to any special occasion. Perfect as wedding gifts, anniversary gifts or a Mother's or Father's Day present.
* What is meant by the term 92.5% Sterling Silver, pure sterling or solid sterling silver picture frames? The definition for these terms is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% silver and 7.55% copper or other material. Any solid 92.5% sterling silver item is marked "Sterling". Silverstar International Elite Sterling and Signature product lines are solid sterling silver with 92.5% sterling silver purity.
* What is meant by Bi-laminated Sterling Silver, as in bi-laminated sterling silver picture frames? Composed of 50% sterling silver at marked AG +silver content formala as opposed to 925, Bi-laminated sterling silver definition is a sheet of sterling silver and an alloy (aluminum or other) fused together in the manufacturing process. Whereas some U.S. manufacturers mark this product "Sterling", as a conservative Italian company Silverstar marks this type of product based upon the weighted sterling silver content using an industry accepted formula. Francesco Moretti sterling silver picture frames are made with Bilaminated Silver with a tarnish resistant surface.
* What is meant by Weighted Sterling? The term means a sheet of 925 sterling silver sandwiched around weighted material. Our Mazzetti Silver Gift Collection is manufactured with this weighted sterling silver manufacturing technique to reduce the silver item's cost to our customers. Weighted sterling silver gifts are marked "Argento", the Italian name for "Silver".
* What is meant by Sterling Silver Plated, as in sterling silver plated picture frames or sterling silver plated mint julep cups? One silver coating over a metal base. Bianchi Silver products are sterling silver plated with not one but 6 coats. That makes Bianchi very special and unique to the common silver plated that only have one thin coat. Our product will not turn black but will retain the beauty for many years to come.

Holiday Films at the Exploratorium
Plus: The Annual Holiday Animation Film Festival (Wednesday, December 26, 2012 - Tuesday, January 1, 2013) At Exploratorium
[caption id="attachment_6895" align="alignleft" width="288" caption="Scene from "A Child's Christmas in Wales," (1963)"][/caption]
Don't miss the sound of Dylan Thomas's voice on Saturday, December 22, when the Exploratorium screens A Child's Christmas in Wales (1963). Directed by Marvin Lightner, this film features a story written and narrated by Dylan Thomas, one that follows a boy's Christmas time memories in Wales. This annual holiday screening takes place at 2 pm in the Exploratorium's McBean Theater. The cinematic holiday festivities continue with the Holiday Animation Film Festival, December 26-January 1, at noon, 2 and 4 pm, also in the McBean Theater. The Annual Holiday Animation Festival gives a rousing send-off to 2012 (and is one of many farewell events to the Exploratorium in the Palace of Fine Arts) with Exploratorium favorites old and new such as Academy Award winning Sour Death Balls by Jessica Yu. All screenings are included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium.

Holiday Memories: A Child's Christmas in Wales, White Out and The Sweater
McBean Theater at 2pm
Classic and reminiscent stories from mid-20th century small town worlds are conveyed through the eyes of childhood. Colorful animation and black and white still images transforms these northern lands of snow and winter cold into youthful adventures, surprises, disappointments, and holiday play.
The Sweater (1980, 10 min), by Sheldon Cohen, animates a story by Roch Carrier set in rural Québec during the 1940s, when Rocket Richard was the Montreal Canadiens' greatest star. This funny, poignant tale recalls a boy's passion for playing hockey and the perils of wearing the wrong team jersey.
White Out (2007, 3 min), by Jeff Scher, captures the magic of snow with a painterly cascade of skiers and skaters crossing a winter landscape to music by Shay Lynch. The hand drawn and painted animation on normal scraps of paper augments the intimate warmth illustrated in time with family and friends in a winter wonderland.
Dylan Thomas' A Child's Christmas in Wales (1963, 26 min 16mm) offers an intimate glimpse of another era, preserved through old photographs and the poet's resonant memories of childhood and snow. Produced, directed, and photographed by Marvin Lightner with narration from Thomas' original
recording. This is a rare 16mm film print. There are no DVDs for sale.
Holiday Animation Film Festival
McBean Theater at Noon, 2 and 4 pm
Wednesday through Tuesday, December 26, 2012-January 1, 2013
[caption id="attachment_6897" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Still from "Western Spaghetti," (2008) by PES"][/caption]
This round up of animated shorts utilizes computers, stop-motion and other animation techniques to capture the hilarity in several playful scenarios. Among the films to be screened are these engaging shorts:
Sour Death Balls (1993, 4 min.) by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Jessica Yu, offers a humorous and quirky look at how people from all ages and backgrounds react to extremely sour candy. Filmed in black and white in front of a blank wall, the simplicity makes the subject's outrageous expressions stand out.
White Out (2007, 3 min.) by Jeff Scher, captures the magic of snow with a painterly cascade of skiers and skaters crossing a winter landscape to music by Shay Lynch. The hand drawn and painted animation on normal scraps of paper augments the intimate warmth illustrated in time with family and friends in a winter wonderland.
Western Spaghetti (2008, 2 min.) by PES, is a brilliant stop-motion animation of a surprising cooking demonstration. Using common objects in inventive ways, the film takes the viewer into an alternate world where imagination is the only limit when it comes to what's for dinner.
Dalhia (2009, 3 min.) by Michael Langan creates a moving portrait of the bustle and permanence of a city. Dahlia juxtaposes the stable forms and patterns of life with the frenetic behavior of humanity, set to a driving score of vocal percussion.
Mobile by Verena Fels (2010, 7 min.) Tells the simple story of distances two stuffed animals go to be together, even if it means turning their world upside down.
Fetch (2001, 5 min.), by Nina Paley, is a funny exploration of space involving an animated dog chasing a ball to a lively soundtrack by Nik Phelps and The Sprocket Ensemble.
The Exploratorium's Cinema Arts Program is funded in part by the Louis Goldblatt Memorial Fund and by a grant from Grants for the Arts/San Francisco Hotel Tax Fund.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WBTW) - One of the stars of the reality TV show "Myrtle Manor" was arrested Friday morning and charged with DUI.
Related: Police release dash cam video of Amanda Adams' arrest
According to a Myrtle Beach police report, Amanda Lee Adams, 26, was booked into the Myrtle Beach jail around 4:30 a.m.
Police said they found Adams' black Jeep Wrangler with front-end damage and a downed electric pole near US 501 and Broadway Street.
When asked how much she had to drink, Adams told police she had "3 beers and 4 shots."
Police arrested Adams at the scene and took her to jail. Police said the breathalyzer test showed her blood-alcohol-content (BAC) was .20....that's 2 1/12 times the legal limit in South Carolina.
Adams, who is from Georgia, was charged with driving under the influence.
According to Adams' Facebook page, she describes herself as "the "bless your heart" trucker hat wearing, turtle hunting, four wheel driving, redneck of the Darlin Dogs Empire."
Adams was a relative late-comer to Myrtle Manor, she showed up and moved in with one of the original 2 "weiner girls," eventually forcing one to leave the trailer park.

i love yellow because it just makes you happy whenever you walk in a room
I love these chairs! I have seen them or similar ones a few times recently. Does anyone know what they are or when to find some? I'd love some red ones for my kitchen!
jessimarie33 - the chairs look to be the Marais AC chair. The yellow one is actually on sale right now for $125.
http://www.dwr.com/p2p/endecaSearch.do?keyword=marais ac chair&Search.x=0&Search.y=0
My kitchen is a lot of bright yellow and it's my favorite room.
Thanks so much! The price is still a little high for me, but I will keep them on a wishlist! Maybe a knockoff exists somewhere?
I think I've seen similar chairs at pottery barn...not sure about quality/price, though
Oh, I'm in love with these french bistro chairs. The plain metal chairs were originally $135 on DWR when they first had them available - I have always regretted not buying them then!
Love those chairs.
I have those chairs, very pretty to look at but not very comfy for sitting in.
Why hello ATLA - may I introduce you to the beginnings of my new place. It's still a huge work in progress which has basically halted in this economy. The chairs were purchased with my DWR prize money from the Smallest Coolest Contest of 07. I also got the Saarinen table that you see in the background. So thank you!
For those that asked, the chairs are the Marais AC from DWR. You can find red ones here though:
