The Extracellular Domain of Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 3 Inhibits Ligand-Independent Dimerization
Lirong Chen, Jesse Placone, Lawrence Novicky, and Kalina Hristova*
Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21218, USA.
Abstract: Dysregulation of the ligand-independent dimerization of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), which is the first step in the activation of RTKs, leads to various pathologies. A mechanistic understanding of the dimerization process is lacking, and this lack of basic knowledge is one bottleneck in the development of effective RTK-targeted therapies. For example, the roles and relative contributions of the different domains of RTKs to receptor dimerization are unknown. Here, we used quantitative imaging Förster resonance energy transfer (QI-FRET) to determine the contribution of the extracellular domain of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) to the dimerization of the receptor. We provide evidence that the contribution of the extracellular domain of FGFR3 to dimerization is repulsive in the absence of ligand and is on the order of ~1 kcal/mol. The repulsive contribution of the extracellular domain is similar in magnitude, but opposite in sign, to the contribution of pathogenic single–amino acid mutations to RTK signaling, and is therefore likely to be important for biological function. Together, these results highlight the fine balance in the domain interactions that regulate RTK dimerization and signaling.

Over 150 Pilot Projects participated in the two-year SITES Pilot Program (June 2010-June 2012). These projects represented a diverse cross-section of project types, sizes and geographic locations in various stages of development from design to construction and maintenance. SITES Pilot Projects are the first projects in the United States and abroad to demonstrate the application of The Sustainable Sites Initiative: Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks 2009, released on November 5, 2009. The Guidelines and Performance Benchmarks 2009 includes a four-star rating system that works on a 250-point scale. Based on achieving all 15 of the prerequisites and at least 100 credit points, a pilot project becomes Certified.
|One Star (minimum points 40%):
|Two Stars (minimum points 50%):
|Three Stars (minimum points 60%):
|Four Stars (minimum points 80%):
Feedback from the Pilot Program is being used to revise the final rating system and inform the technical reference manual, SITES v2. This guide will provide real world examples of achieving sustainability goals and document the practices pilot projects used in solving site problems, slated for release in 2014.
Below is a summary of the projects that participatied in the pilot program.

The Richmond Register (Kentucky) - Stimulus money helps state balance Medicaid
Kentucky's Medicaid system would be more than $230 million in the hole without the influx of federal stimulus money.
At the same time, the state is short of money because of a deep recession, the demands on Medicaid have grown as a result of the depression, according to Medicaid Commissioner Betsy Johnson, adding 3,000 eligible participants each month since June of 2008.
But $303.4 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) -- the federal stimulus -- in fiscal year 2009 and a projected $486.0 million in 2010 has balanced the books and even allowed the state to transfer $63 million of general fund dollars in 2009 and $383 million in 2010 from Medicaid to soften budget cuts to other areas of state government.
That is because the extra federal money allows the state to reduce its portion of the bill from 30 percent to 20 percent on each dollar. Kentucky went from a 70-30 federal-state match to 80-20 because its unemployment rate rose above 8.9 percent. [Read More]
Observer Dispatch (New York) - Area company grateful for Recovery Act
By temporarily eliminating fees for borrowers of Small Business Administration, or SBA, loans, the Recovery Act has helped save The Medicine Shoppe $13,245 in costs. That money can be used to hire workers and maintain operations, the [owners Paul and Michele McDonald] said.
Since Congress passed the Recovery Act in February, 35 small businesses in Oneida County have saved more than $59,000 in SBA fees and accessed more than $3.5 million in critical capital - the "life blood of small businesses" - U.S. Rep. Michael Arcuri, D-Utica, said…
County-wide, SBA financing has helped create 75 jobs and retain 180 jobs, Arcuri said. [Read More]

Phase out of Methyl bromide
Agriculture in Iran
The agricultural sector is an important pillar of the Iranian economy. It account for 11% of the GDP and about 10% of non-oil exports. In Iran there are about 2.8 million production units, ranging from large to small companies including family run farms.
Methyl Bromide in Post Harvest Treatment
Methyl bromide was introduced in Iran in 1965 and was registered as a fumigant to control pests on commodity and soil; it was mainly used on seedlings in Gilan and Mazandaran provinces.
In 1998, approximately 65% of Methyl Bromide, except quarantine and pre-shipment, was used for post harvest treatment, mainly for the fumigation of dried fruits and dates.
In November 1999, The 29th Meeting of Executive Committee for the implementation of the Montreal Protocol approved the project for phasing out Methyl Bromide in the post harvest sector. This included the fumigation of dried fruits, nuts, rice and wheat and other seeds. The complete phase-out was achieved in 2006.
Phosphine was selected as the most suitable alternative to replace methyl bromide due to its fairly good efficacy, very good cost effectiveness and application technology available in Iran.
The project included a series of training and the upgrading of five fumigation chambers, which were distributed among Khuzestan, Bushehr, Kerman, Fars and Hamedan provinces.
Methyl Bromide in Soil Fumigation
A second project, targeted the phase-out of methyl bromide in soil fumigation in the olive tree seedlings, fruit trees nurseries and other seedlings, was approved by the Executive Committee at its 47th Meeting in November 2005.
Olive Production
In 1993, a National Program for the development of olive production was launched in Iran; it aimed at increasing the supply capacity of olive oil and olive products, for the domestic and export market. According to the Ministry of Jihad and Agriculture, the area cultivated with olive increased from 4,500 ha, in 1993, to 65,000 ha, in 2002.
In 2003, 99% the total amount of methyl bromide used for soil treatment was used for olive-tree nurseries, as part of the government's plan to increase domestic olive production. Small quantities were used for other type of nurseries, such as fruit trees and ornamental plants.
The selection of the most appropriated alternative to replace methyl bromide as soil fumigant for olive seedlings was based on experience obtained from projects carried out in other countries and under similar conditions, particular attention was paid to technology transfer and technology availability in Iran, opportunities for commercial application of the alternative and sustainability in terms of cost and efficacy.
The alternative technology selected was steam pasteurization in combination with Integrated Pest Management (IPM). If carried out properly, steam is probably the best alternative to methyl bromide; it is not only equally effective but also more environmentally friendly.
The project provided 35 steam boilers specifically designed for soil pasteurization. The technology was developed by an Iranian enterprise based on UNIDO's technical assistance.
A training program on the application of the steam technology and Integrated Pest Management was organized, through the organization of farmers, it included field demonstrations and study tours. About 870 farmers were trained.
This project was implemented thanks also to the excellent collaboration of the National Ozone Unit (NOU) of the Department of Environment, who provided the legal framework and network required to implement this project.

Gaithersburg, Md. – November 4, 2010 – BGI, the largest genomics organization in the world, and OpGen, Inc., a commercial phase genomics company and exclusive provider of Optical Mapping Technology, announced their joint effort to expand the use of Optical Mapping for de novo sequence finishing in human, plant and animal genomes.
BGI and OpGen have successfully completed a study based on human genome data to close gaps in the existing sequence scaffolds. The groups continue to make very promising progress to complete additional animal and human genomes.
Advances in DNA sequencing continue to drive down cost and increase the amount of sequence data available. However, these advances in sequencing still leave much of the genome uncharacterized and unordered. OpGen's Optical Mapping Technology, when combined with current next generation sequencing technology, will enable the efficient and accurate finishing of assembled contigs into chromosomes.
BGI brings an unmatched sequencing capacity and computing power enabling the generation of thousands of sequences annually. Combined with an emphasis on de novo sequencing, this collaboration provides an excellent platform to accelerate whole genome sequencing and genomic discovery.
OpGen has the capability to construct whole genome ordered restriction maps independent of sequence information with reliable assembly accuracy. Optical Mapping has been widely used in genomics studies of microbiology, with applications in areas of comparative genomics, strain typing and whole genome sequence assembly.
"We are very pleased to be working with BGI as we begin to expand the utility of Optical Mapping beyond microbial research. We believe that Optical Mapping will play a significant and complimentary role with current and future sequencing systems as a tool to enable completion of large, complex genomes and reduce the overall cost and time for these projects," said Doug White, CEO of OpGen.
"Applying the complimentary technologies, we can develop more representative reference genomes at much improved standard. It will allow more accurate and specific genomics research for different groups of people. Furthermore, the potential in human metagenomics research by developing improved microbe assemblies will facilitate the application in human disease studies," said Xun Xu, Vice President of Research & Development Department of BGI.
About BGI
Beijing Genomics Institute (BGI) was founded in Beijing on Sept 9th, 1999 with the mission of supporting the development of science and technology, building strong research teams, and promoting the development of commercial scientific services. BGI has successfully completed a large number of projects. These include sequencing 1% of the human genome for the International Human Genome Project, contributing 10% to the International Human HapMap Project, carrying out research to combat SARS, being a key player in the Sino-British Chicken Genome Project, and completely sequencing the rice genome, the silkworm genome. In 2007, the headquarters relocated to Shenzhen. BGI-Shenzhen has completed the first Asian diploid genome and the cucumber genome project. Much of those researches have been published in the top international academic journals including Nature and Science. In conjunction with carrying out these projects, BGI-Shenzhen has established its own technical platforms based on large-scale genome sequencing, efficient bioinformatics analyses, and innovative genetic health care initiatives. These distinguished achievements have made a great contribution to the development of genomics in both China and the world.

we seem to be travellers.... me... it was Pakistan. Germany, uk. Migrating to the the states. Kenya, Australia etc.
no wonder we like all kinds of food. I used to sit and watch the cook when I was home from boarding school... he made the most wonderful meals - all on a Tula ( which was a huge mud stove.) no oven. but three outlets to put your pots on... though my dad did try and make mum a small stove to go on top , made out of a 2-3 gallon tin, which he carefully put a door in and a shelf in the middle.
i have not posted many asian recipes. and a lot are just from watching the cook as a child..... anyway I talk too much so al off to bed

This is probably off-topic ... !
I just read (halfway!!) through FT's extensive kitchen dictionary. It reminded me that I once wanted to do a Master's degree in Afrikaans, and I dearly wanted to do it on the influence of the French Huguenots' language on Afrikaans. I had such wonderful examples. (I did not, because it had been done before, but the particular thesis was not available to check out).
(It must be kept in mind here that the Dutch ruled at the Cape at the time when the Huguenots arrived, and although the French were given wonderful land -- they started viniculture in SA -- they were not allowed to have French schools or anything French. The Dutch tried hard to turn them into Dutch Frenchmen ...)
Every now and again I come across a word which to me, as a "language person", is fascinating.
I read a French recipe the other day, and came across the ingredient "cabillaud". See the first word under C in FT's dictionary!
I had NO idea what this was. I sat here and pronounced the word aloud several times. And then it hit me: kabeljou!!!
It is a kind of cod-type fish, certainly. Very tasty, too. And in my mind's eye I imagined French Huguenots angling with Dutchmen, catching this fish, and exclaiming, maybe with mild puzzlement: "Cabillaud?"
The two words, when pronounced aloud, are almost exactly alike! And there are many more examples of French influencing Afrikaans. So the Dutch did not wholly succeed in their repressing of French!

FORT WAYNE – Oh, the sacrifices Liz Carlson had to make to win a golf tournament. In this instance, it was her wisdom teeth.
While the 18-year-old graduate of Fremont ran away with the girls portion of the High School Invitational at Fort Wayne Country Club on Saturday with an 82 – seven shots ahead of her nearest rival – Trevor Uhl, a junior-to-be at Canterbury who turns 17 Monday, survived a tight field to win the boys competition with a 4-over 75.
It was the first time either had played in the tournament that is by invitation only.
Normally, they dont ask anybody from our area, said Carlson, a three-time NECC champion who will attend Bellarmine University.
But Carlson had an advocate in FWCC member Dr. Rich Miller, who discovered her talent for golf, then took down her telephone number around the same time he was extracting her wisdom teeth.
I was his last patient, Carlson said. He took my wisdom teeth out, then retired.
And Miller said he wanted to make sure that Carlson was asked to play.
Did she ever, even though the start was shaky.
I just plopped it in the water on (No. 9) because I didnt know how far away, said Carlson. I just kind of hit it. I hit a 3-wood in the water, and I shouldve hit an iron. That was just course management.
As it turned out, no one threatened Carlson. Margaret Fritz of Concordia finished second with an 89, and Sniders Jessica Peppler had a 90.
I just came out and played my game, Carlson said. I asked my group a lot of questions. I tried to learn the course while playing it.
But for the most part, if youre hitting the ball good and getting your yardage down correctly, you can play it.
Things werent as comfortable for Uhl, one of 11 players who broke 80. Playing partner Spencer Shoemaker of DeKalb was close behind with a 76, as was Tritons Quinten Carpenter.
Just as Carlson had a bad start to her round, Uhls was even worse when he bogeyed his first four holes, beginning with the No. 3 hole, from where he started.
I played even from then on out, said Uhl, who stopped the bogey string with a par on No. 7, then had birdies at 8, 9 and 10.
That got me going. That got the putting going. The putter was a big part of my score. Three out of the four birdies were 30-foot putts.
Uhl didnt let the four-bogey beginning rattle him.
I just didnt let it get to me, I guess, he said. Bogeys not that bad. I just kept telling myself that, and tried to make pars, and got a couple birdies thrown in there.
Especially with the long putts that even surprised Uhl.
The greens out here are really nice. It was easy to get my speed, so I just focused on the line. That helps.

These were copy/pasted from the latest FlatPanels review located here:
I have no opinion on the settings, but I wish to contribute as many such post calibration settings to this thread as possible so hx929 owners have some information to answer their hx929 calibration questions.
The only thing about the calibration settings that really interest me are the white balance RGB Gain/Bias offsets. I think it's important for us to make note of how offsets compare from as many calibrations as possible. These calibrations suggest something about the lower luminance gray scale track of the hx929 tested. I wonder if they are consistent with what others have experienced pre/post calibration.

Marine Life Conservation District
O`ahu - Waikiki
76 acres, Established 1988
The Waikiki MLCD is located at the Diamond Head end of Waikiki Beach. There is limited parking in a small parking area by the Waikiki War Memorial Natatorium. Street parking is available along Kalakaua Avenue. City buses also serve the area.
The MLCD extends from the groin at the end of Kapahulu Avenue to the ewa (west) wall of the Natatorium, from the highwater mark seaward a distance of 500 yards or to the edge of the fringing reef, whichever is greater.
A reef flat extends out from the Waikiki Aquarium seawall a distance of about 35 yards to a dredged channel, then continues on the other side of the channel. Most fish in this area are found along the channel's shoreline side (which has a number of small caves), along the Natatorium wall, and near the exposed parts of the reef on the channel's seaward side. The channel itself is about 8 feet deep, and depths above the reef flat are generally less than 3 to 4 feet.
The reef flat throughout the MLCD consists mostly of rubble and coralline algae with some small patches of live coral. Sediment covers the bottom, so visibility is best when there is little or no wave action. Most of the reef flat has little bottom relief, and fish are more concentrated in areas where relief increases somewhat. At the outer edge of the reef the bottom drops off sharply to about 15 to 20 feet. Numerous arches, crevices and other features are found here, along with an abundance of fish.

Safety considerations
Summer swells frequently bring high surf to the southern shoreline. Waves are particularly dangerous at the outer edge of the reef, where parts of the reef are exposed.
Lifeguards are on duty year round on the beach at the Waikiki end of the MLCD.
Restrooms, showers, emergency and pay phones, snack bar.
Permitted activities:
To possess in the water any knife and any shark billy, bang stick, powerhead or carbon dioxide injector.
With a permit to engage in activities otherwise prohibited by law for scientific, propagation or other purposes.
Prohibited activities:

I became obsessed with finding an ottoman to put in front of our old, cushioned, upholstered chair (that does not recline). I went in to several local stores and couldn't find quite what I wanted. Thus the online search began. I love the way this looks with our other furniture. We have a mix of modern and antique. It adds a nice element of style and comfort to the room. It's perfect!
This stool looks very authentic and was a cinch to assemble the legs onto. It is quite sturdy and I think this will be well worth the money spent. I bought this stool to climb onto my new bed and it looks perfect with my bedroom ensemble and my kids also love to use it to sit and watch TV. I'm happy :)
Small space works as a table/ foot rest...great product....
I ordered 2 of these footstools in the lighter brown, and I was very happy with them at first. I loved the style, their color matched very well, and the price was so reasonable. Sadly, within a few months the fabric started to pull away from the center stitching and a leg came off one. I've had them over a year now and will be looking for something more durable. I can't glue the legs on any more and the split seam is too large to ignore. Bottom line... attractive and functional for a short term need, but not a lasting piece of furniture.
Extremely poor quality. Within 2 months of average use (not every day) one leg came apart. Okay, glued it with gorilla glue. Then the stitching on the top gave way and the fabric pulled apart. Tried to repair, then repaired leg broke again. Throwing in the trash. This product should have lasted more than 2 months. Huge disappointment.
after 5 months the product is falling apart the material is pulling from the stitching. a leg has come completely off

From the Director
From UCLA African Studies Center Director - Allen F. Roberts
Published: Tuesday, June 12, 2007
...and for me, one of the greatest privileges and joys of serving as director of the James S. Coleman African Studies Center over the last six years has been the chance to wear so many hats."
Aside from the rich complexity of African lives that we all find so inspiring, the aspect of African Studies that I have always found most exciting is its multi-disciplinarity. Because of the concentration on substance that is the hallmark of all area studies programs, we have an unusual opportunity to learn and share each other's methods and theories; and for me, one of the greatest privileges and joys of serving as director of the James S. Coleman African Studies Center over the last six years has been the chance to "wear so many hats." Just this past week, for example, a very distinguished public health official from
Another great pleasure is working with dynamic UCLA student activists. On April 20th, Diana Essex and the FORGE campus group she directs sponsored Baridi Night. _Baridi_ means "cold" in Swahili, and the long evening event brought attention to the basic needs of Zambian refugees—that is, beginning with blankets and warm clothing. Live music, Ethiopian cuisine, and a raffle made the evening celebratory without losing sight of inspiring purposes. We can all be proud of such efforts (with our Darfur Action Committee in mind as well), led by the next generation of ardent Africanists.
Lots is going on for the rest of Spring quarter. We began the term with an interesting and affecting presentation by two poets from the Saharaoui Democratic Arab Republic—a nation still riven by strife, occupation, and exile. In May we shall be honored by the visit of Njabulo Ndebele and Thandabantu Nhlapo, respectively Vice Chancellor and Deputy Vice Chancellor of the
Another compelling event to be held in May will be an African Immigrant Community Coalition-Building Forum that the center is co-sponsoring (again through the good work of Azeb Tadesse and Sheila Breeding) with the UCLA African Activist Association, composed of dynamic student get-goers, the African Federation, and USA for Africa as led by our wonderful colleague Marcia Thomas. A first session on the 18th will be held at the Lucy Florence Coffeehouse, to bring the conversation to community constituencies, and then a second at UCLA on Saturday the 19th. And then on the 25th and 26th, the African Activist Association will hold a conference of students, faculty, and community members to consider "Multi-Mediating Africa: Emerging Artistic and Technological Re/presentations."

Summary of Dead End Gene Pool Summary of Dead End Gene Pool Reviews for Dead End Gene Pool An Excerpt from Dead End Gene Pool
The great-great-great-great granddaughter of Cornelius Vanderbilt takes a look at the decline of her wealthy blue-blooded family in this irreverent and wickedly funny memoir"In this dark and humorous memoir, Wendy Burden takes us inside the family circus that was her side of the Vanderbilt dynasty, bringing American class structure, sibling rivalry, and the decline of the blue bloods vividly to life. It's a wonderful read."
For generations the Burdens were one of the wealthiest families in New York, thanks to the inherited fortune of Cornelius "The Commodore" Vanderbilt. By 1955, the year of Wendy's birth, the Burdens had become a clan of overfunded, quirky and brainy, steadfastly chauvinistic, and ultimately doomed blue bloods on the verge of financial and moral decline-and were rarely seen not holding a drink.
When her father commits suicide when Wendy is six, she and her brother are told nothing about it and are shuffled off to school as if it were any other day. Subsequently, Wendy becomes obsessed with the macabre, modeling herself after Wednesday Addams of the Addams family, and decides she wants to be a mortician when she grows up. Just days after the funeral, her mother jets off to southern climes in search of the perfect tan, and for the next three years, Wendy and her two brothers are raised mostly by a chain- smoking Scottish nanny and the long suffering household staff at their grandparent's Fifth Avenue apartment. If you think Eloise wreaked havoc at The Plaza you should see what Wendy and her brothers do in "Burdenland"-a world where her grandfather is the president of the Museum of Modern Art; the walls are decorated with originals of Klee, Kline, Mondrian, and Miro; and Rockefellers are regular dinner guests.
The spoiled life of the uber-rich that they live with their grandparents is in dark contrast to the life they live with their mother, a brilliant Radcliffe grad and Daughter of the American Revolution, who deals with having two men's suicides on her conscience by becoming skinnier, tanner, blonder, and more steeped in bitter alcoholism with every passing year.
We watch Wendy's family unravel as she travels between Fifth Avenue, Virginia horse country, Mount Desert Island in Maine, the Jupiter Island Club, London, and boarding school, coming through all of it surprisingly intact. Rife with humor, heartbreak, family intrigue, and booze, Dead End Gene Pool offers a glimpse into the eccentric excess of old money and gives truth to the old maxim: The rich are different.

-Gus Van Sant
"An extremely funny writer"
-The New York Times
"It provides a compelling window into a life you're glad you didn't have to live, and the woman who survived it, sense of humor intact."
-Boston Globe
"Charles Addams meets Carrie Bradshaw in this honest, sardonic, and touching memoir. Burden's tale makes for riveting and often hilarious reading."
-Jane Stanton Hitchcock, New York Times bestselling author of Social Crimes and Mortal Friends
"Burden's acknowledgment that she is focusing her memoir on her father's family (Vanderbilt heirs) because "rich people behaving badly are far more interesting than the not so rich behaving badly" reassures us at the outset that this will not be another standard-issue poor- little-rich-girl memoir. After her father's suicide when Burden was six, she spends her childhood largely ignored, shuttling between the home of her self-centered, globetrotting mother and her eccentric Park Avenue grandparents. Burden offers fascinating and voyeuristic insights into a little-known segment of society, the mega-rich American plutocracy in decline."
-Library Journal
"This blueblood tale is spun so deftly and so charmingly that it is easy to forget that this it is essentially a sad story of family neglect and degeneration. Burden joins the ranks of such memoirists as Augusten Burroughs and David Sedaris, who have successfully mined their dysfunctional childhoods for comedic gold."
"There's great tragedy and sadness that runs through the last three generations of the book's characters, and yet as I write this I find myself laughing at the memory of reading her descriptions and reactions to the world presented to her by fate (and genes). You will too."

These adult baseball bats must have a -3 ounce length-to-weight ratio and a maximum of 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter.

As you know, most adult bats are also known as BBCOR bats. Earlier, the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) used to perform a certification test called BESR i.e. Ball Exit Speed Ratio. Basically this test measured how fast a ball could bounce off your composite or aluminum bat barrel.
Things were going smoothly until there were problems with the bats getting "too hot" after the ball was hit. Actually, the BESR test failed to acknowledge the safety of bats so the NFHS and the NCAA designed a new test called BBCOR certification test.
BBCOR or Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution certification ensures that all non-wooden bats give the same performance as wooden bats do. Once your bat passes the test and gets stamped, you could use it in a game at your high school or college. This should clearly explain why BBCOR certification stamp is really important.

Freddy Mercury

In brightest day, in blackest night,
No evil shall escape my sight
Let those who worship evil's might,
Beware my power... Green Lantern's light
After seeing them in concert, i have to add Brent Smith, that guy oozes charisma! and is sexy as hell!
Freddy Mercury
Rob Halford
Ozzy when he's in Black Sabbath
I would have to say David Yow.
The Jesus Lizard was always fun live when I saw them.
Last winter I saw Scratch Acid live and it amazes me how much energy David Yow has and his voice is still good.
Jim Morrison
Freddie Mercury
Joe Strummer
Not a frontman, but a woman...
Annie Lennox. Greatest voice ever.
