HELP! In-vitro transcription results only in smear! - (Feb/09/2007 )
Hello everybody,
I'm really frustrated and really need help. I'm trying to establish in-vitro transcpription in a new lab since months and the only thing I get is a smear so here the details.
I have clone my gene of interest in a vector containing T7 Promoter sequence. I designed Primers upstream including T7 promotor and downstream of Poly(A)signal in order to be able to use the primers for each construct with this vector.
1.For PCR I use the plasmid derived from a Qiagen maxiprep diluted to 8ng/µL. (1:1000 diluted). I perform PCR with Promegas GoTaq and RNase free water.
2.After PCR reaction I added 20µg Proteinase K (Roche) to a 50µL PCR sample and incubated for 30 min at 50°C. (Final concentration is 400 mg/mL) And then 20 min at 70°C to inactivate Proteinase K.
3. Meanwhile I run an electrophoresis to check my amplicon which is always ok.
4. After treatment with PRoteinase K I clean up my samples with Promegas Wizard PCR GEl extraction clean-up Kit. I do not perform a gel extraction, but follow the clean up procedure. I eluate the DNA with Nuclease free water included in the kit.
5. I use the sample and do the in-vitro transcription with Ambions mMessage mMAchine T7 Ultra Kit. Following the protocol including treatment with DNAse I TURBO and Poly A tailing.
6. Then I clean up the RNA using Qiagens RNeasy Kit and eluate the RNA in the included RNase free water.
7. When I run a denaturing formaldehyde electrophoresis the only thing I can see is a smear starting at the size where my transcript should be.
I repeated this procedure and it is always the same. The first time my RNA Marker was also degraded so I thought this was due to contamination. So here the list with the things I changed after supposing contamination.
1. I have a special pipette set only for RNA which I wipe before use with RNase away solution.
2. I only use prefilled certified pipette tips. (I even used a complete new set of boxes just opened by me)
3. I just opend a new bag of eppendorfs which I use directly from the bag.
4. Of course I always wear gloves. I really pay attantion to change them often in between working.
5. First in-vitro transcpriptions were performed with Promega RiboMag large scale kit. Since I assumed it was contaminated I bought a new one from Ambion. But even with this complete new kit nothing changed.
6. Also the PCR clean up Kit is complete new.
7. I even bought a new Qiagen RNEasy Kit, also used the first time by me. (I think the kit is ok, since total RNA Isolation performed with the same reagents looks good on the gel)
7. I prepared complete new MOPS buffer. The loading dye is bought from Fermentas. ALso complete new vial. (Since the first time my RNA ladder was also degraded I thought contamination maybe ocurred during electrophoresis.) But now the RNA ladder is perfect. No smear!
Electrophoresis works well I mix buffer and add after 30 min some additional fresh one. Since my ladder looks good now I can be sure that only my sample is contaminated.
I hope it is not too much information but I really tried everything and do not know what else to do. I may be new to in-vitro transcription but I am experienced in dealing with RNA since until now I performed lots of expression studies doing northern blots, rtPCR, microarrays etc. NEver had problems with degraded RNA!
I think now it must be the DNA template but I treat it after PCR with Proteinase K. The only thing I didn't do is to change PRoteinase K. I didn't buy the PCR grade one frome Roche but used the Proteinase K included in Roches gDNA Isolation high purity PCR template Kit. So I assume the provide the PCR grade PRoteinase K. The stock is in -20°C from september 2006. I thaw it and then store it up to two months in 4°C.
So I am open to any suggestions I don't know what else to do. I really need help otherwise I'll get crazy.....
I'm not sure whether you have already solved this problem, as your post is a little old, but thought I'd post a reply anyway. I used to have a similar problem to you - I used a method very similar to yours, and always ended up with a big smear of trancript. I was then told by a hardened molecular biologist to skip the DNase step in the Ambion protocol, and precipitate with LiCl, as Li selectievly precipitates RNA. I was a little wary at first - but ended up with perfect message, which not only looked pretty on a gel, but behaved perfectly biologically.
If you are still having problems, it might be worth giving it a shot!
did you try with linearized plasmid?
second, i would try 37°C proteinase K treatment, and then doesn't inactivate at 70°. I think RNA is not very stable at 50° and less at 70°. In total your RNA is 50' !!!!! at 50° or higher. dennaturation step in my transcriptions in vitro is 2' at 95, but may be done 5' at 56°
Second, i treat my transcriptions at 37° with the proteinase K.

Changing market demands and the resulting requirements which have to be met by our company constantly bring forth new challenges and modifications. For this reason, RINGFEDER POWER TRANSMISSION has implemented a new logistics concept.
Our logistics operations in Groß-Umstadt are going to be relocated to our production sites in Neunkirchen and Dobrany (Czech Republic). These sites have undergone extensive refurbishment and modernization to ensure future-oriented logistics services. This optimization process will create added value in terms of order fulfillment and will allow us to be much more flexible in the future.
To further support this, we are currently restructuring our customer service department which will be called Sales Back Office. The reorganization will enable us to react more quickly and to stay in closer contact with our customers.
For our customer this means that they will receive "Precision Industry Products" from our production site Dobrany. Basically this refers to the product line from GERWAH and to the small-size model range from RINGFEDER. TSCHAN products and larger RINGFEDER models, which are classified as "Heavy Industry Products", will be shipped from our site in Neunkirchen.

Flickr photo by slettvetDon't you just love the way your hair looks at the beach?!
I have super-fine hair, so the extra humidity does wonders for my limp mane.
I long for the extra curls and just enough wind to make my tresses piecey.
Plus, the smell ... mmmm! Salty, sea water, beachiness.
The only downside: You can't get that look and smell every day.
The upside: There are a ton of hair products out there that try to replicate that look.
Try Bumble and Bumble's Sun Spray ($22). It gives volume and piecey waves. Watch as they take limp, fine, short hair into a sexy ready-for-a-romp-in-the-sand look.
Or apply Frederic Fekkai's Coiff Oceanique Touseled Wave Spray ($23) to dry strands for instant beachiness.
A trick I do is to blow dry the top of my hair really thoroughly and leave the bottom hair slightly damp. Twist it up into a French twist-like 'do and clamp with a claw or bobby pins.
Let dry for about 30 minutes and undo the twist. You should have slight waves. Add pomade or styling creme to your tresses by scrunching upward. Spray with a flexible hold hairspray and voila! Beach waves!
Do you like the beach wave look?

Twelve Kingdoms Series
Tagged under Akihiro Yamada, Studio Pierrot, Light Novel, Series.
Juuni Kokki is a story of a girl named Youko, whose life in modern
Japan is suddenly and rudely interrupted as a strange man with flowing long whire hair appears and kneels before her,
swearing his allegiance. In Japan she is a normal teenager, albeit one who cares greatly about how others see her and
hence appears rather weak-willed.
With the appearance of this strange man, frightening things start happening. Against her will, she and some friends are taken to another world by the man. Here begins the world of "The Twelve Kingdoms" and it is a vast and beautiful one. Intricate and complicated to a certain degree with a fusion of ancient Chinese and Japanese culture, it has twelve kingdoms; each with a King and a helper called a kirin. On coming to this new world, Youko is separated from the man who brought her and stumbles through this new place, learning as she goes along.
Will she ever return home? Why was she brought here?

Erkicman's Twelve Kingdoms Tv Review
After I finished the series (Up to episode 39 and the appendix episode 40), I felt like a changed man. Here was an epic tale, a completely new world, and a lesson on what it takes to be a great ruler. I learned what it meant to deserve luxury, and I learned how to be a ladies' man like Rakushun. (Ladies' Rat?) I got chills at the end of the story, when the main characters end up proving their worth.
Pay attention to Rakushun, Enki, and Shoryu. They're a funny trio.
This is my favorite anime of all time, period. Then again, I've only seen the ones put out by Toonami and Adult Swim, but none of them were as good as this.
If you want an intellectually involving and stimulating series, eat this one up. It will make you think and re-think the way you see your world.

AMAZING!! Awsome Artwork and Awsome Story!
I love Yoko and her development throughout the story! Though the Anime is very long (45 episodes) I could have watched 45 epiosdes more! =D
It's not boring at all! And honestly a very great Anime to watch!
I have to say one of the best animes I have ever seen of all time is the anime called Twelve Kingdoms. It has by far the best character development I have ever seen with a level of maturity that is so rare and hard to find that I'm amazed by the plot, problems, solutions, and planning behind and in this anime. It teaches so many lessons and gives so many view points that it's astonishing to me, who has watched hundreds of animes and read thousands of manga. This is a rare series that is both serious and light, good and bad, and shows such a wide variety of ideas and context that you rarely or won't find anywhere else.
One of the best example of character development and personal growth I have seen in an anime. The main character is really annoying for the first half of the series, but it is necessary in order for the second half to be so amazing. It's a shame this series has to end early as well, but at least they wrap up the first story arc. I feel that the anime fleshes out the characters a bit more than the novels do.
I started watching the anime first & Youko is one really annoying heroine. But I stuck it out, and I'm glad I did because I enjoyed watching the girl grow and mature and work hard to improve herself (i.e. again, different from those who are just handed 'special powers'). I am also collecting the books they are based on (Tokyopop PLEASE do not discontinue this series - it's hard enough we have to wait a year to get them!) - and I highly recommend.
I watched the whole series on TV. The plot is good, but there are lots of weird names and things like titles of noble people. There're also twists and turns in the chronological order of facts that makes comprehension difficult.

|the_unknown enters the chat
|hi omg
|how's warren??
|our favorite limpy is awake ^__^
|Oh thank god
|How is he feeling?
|and secretly nursing a bottle of baileys I may or may not have snuck in here >.>
|u bad girl
|I saw your videos … sorry I didnt come before
|he wouldnt let go of my hand, and honestly I kinda didnt wanna leave him either
|aww cuties
|okay that's freakin adorable <3
|shut your butt!
|but i do gotta bone to pick with you when we got a minute
|what's the bone?
|gimmie the bone
|having his phone would not have made him die any less?
|it coulda let someone track us though
|ok but we didn't hear from him for days kjndfkjlfdh
|sorry love, but frankly
|we were murdering people
|yeha i know but still
|and I didnt really want anyone linked to that
|hell I dont even know if we were in the right
|I still dont know
|but it happened
|what, for killing two serial killers, one of which was a cannibal?
|I'd say you were pretty well in the right, mademoiselle >_>;;
|I just dont know ok
|looks like the force of caccee made my computer crash.
|thats why I made sure I was the one to pull the trigger
|thanks for that, by the way.
|yeah, well thanks for stopping the choking train
|we don't need to thank each other for saving each other's lives
|yeah, we should keep a scrap book
|that would be the worst scrapbook ever.
|yes, it really would XD
|usually unknown is the one taking people breath away?
|you haven't seen me take anyones breath away till you see how
|badly I dance
|we should never have a dance-off, I think people would die just watching.
|haha it is likely
deemah_maraho: I just think this whole chat can dance >_>
cheekbones: dee we can dance if we want to
kaitlyn: next time something threatens us, we'll just dance it to death
deemah_maraho: We can leave our friends behind?
the_unknown: we can leave our friends behind?
redpaintfactory: good to have u back miss foss
moogle: Indeedy
the_unknown: yeah, im just glad he woke up
redpaintfactory: i think we should talk about this fouxe chick
the_unknown: so, I am gonna go shoot a smoke, and have a shot then you all can tell me what up
kaitlyn: ooh, yeah good point
the_unknown: cool?
mari: ah yeah, that
laparus: Actually, that's not a bad idea.
the_unknown: * clumbsy moonwalk out *
redpaintfactory: smoking is very bad for you
*loggers give Chewie shit for ruining everything*
mari: hurry up Unknown I stopped porn blogging for this
the_unknown: SPIRITS
the_unknown: hey
laparus: no spirits, you know what spirits do to you, you're sticking to wine
chat: Welcome back
the_unknown: sorry I know things have been suck for you guys
the_unknown: but im kinda happy
rabbit_table: whiskey tho
cheekbones: I feel like that comment has some kind of backstory
the_unknown: wine is for old ladies and hipster writers.
the_unknown: XP
redpaintfactory: is there anything you two haven't done together?
the_unknown: we never did take that bath
laparus: Warren's bath wasn't big enough
the_unknown: * WIIIIIINK *
*nsfw derp*
*Banana gets the topic back on track*
the_unknown: yes ok the track
chat: how are you?
the_unknown: haha ok woah
the_unknown: so I just tried to pronounce the "name" out loud and warren is freaking out
laparus: that's.. strange. like, voluntary freaking out or knee-jerk reaction freaking out?
the_unknown: like a kid at toys r us
the_unknown: aparently knows OF them
laparus: like an, "oh my god, you met Elvis" kind of freaking out?
the_unknown: yeah
the_unknown: so what happened?
the_unknown: sorry I have not kept totally plugged in
redpaintfactory: she was all like "yall are dumb, don't be fuckin with my shit"
mari: we got some screen recording if you wanna see?
the_unknown: aparently fouxe is some kinda super smart lady or something
the_unknown: he is praddling on…
the_unknown: a super smart lady that aparently was on a shoot on sight ? o_O
the_unknown: well then
chat: yep.
kaitlyn: it apparently got complicated between her and weaver co
moogle: <_< Well she never has to talk to them again
the_unknown: yeah he says all he knows about her is she aparently created the eye
the_unknown: as we know it anyway
the_unknown: and was black balled
the_unknown: doesnt know why
the_unknown: ok he is just rambling about techie stuff I dont understand now…
mari: http://cnsstills.tumblr.com/post/76761304158/more-taft-files TW
denitza: yeah that last one's kinda severely fucked up
laparus: You'd like her. She's does the same kinda fucked up things you do.
the_unknown: good god…
the_unknown: well this is a woman who knows what she believes
the_unknown: if nothing else
the_unknown: shit
the_unknown: scientists are always being used
the_unknown: like, always
the_unknown: this chick tho
the_unknown: anyone who is willing to do that to themselves in the face of defeat..
the_unknown: that is someone with conviction, right or wrong that is heavy conviction
the_unknown: more than I can say I have currently honestly
laparus: Sounds like somebody has a crush.
the_unknown: oh shut your hole xP
cheekbones: is somebody else jealous
cheekbones: (spoiler: it's all of us)
laparus: I can do better.
chat: OHH BURN
laparus: I'll have to get a steel bunker, and hire bodyguards.
the_unknown: did you just burn me fuzz ball?
the_unknown: NO BUNKER IS STRONG ENOUGH
the_unknown: wait
the_unknown: so this person contacted you guys
chat: yes
the_unknown: how did that go…?
guest_24601: I'm reasonably certain she allowed me to access that database we were looking at
mari: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrUWyRPRMqk started off like that
mari: then went onto cryptic shit
mari: then an actual visit
the_unknown: is that little lies? o_O
chat: yes
callmemrtanuki: …wait till you hear about HOW she contacted us, Unknown….
callmemrtanuki: Warren's gonna love that…
the_unknown: ?
callmemrtanuki: kinda possibly, hacked the weaver's eye or assumed control…
redpaintfactory: she was up in our google doc
the_unknown: he is laughing
the_unknown: a lot
the_unknown: … a lot lot
laparus: Warren, are you fanboying over your celebrity crush getting into your system?
the_unknown: aparently when a weavers eye crashes ( which is rare aparently) its cause of a built in system
the_unknown: and the "myth" was when that happens it auto connects to fouxe
the_unknown: bue aparently he never really beleived that
callmemrtanuki: that explains, w_e_auto
the_unknown: seems like haha
banana: ironically we thought the weaver was an urban legend at first too >_>
mari: a creepy organisation urban legend of an organisation surrounding an urban legend
starling: We do love our supernatural urban legends
the_unknown: so yeah he is aparently laughing at the "hacked" part
deemah_maraho: Chewie's beard is an urban legend >_>
the_unknown: "you cant hack a system you own
the_unknown: aparently a lot of people didnt think this was a thing tho
the_unknown: well this
the_unknown: too
the_unknown: err aparently when they used to crash, like 78% of the anchors would die
the_unknown: before the "weavers eye" model was made
laparus, Ah, so before she got involved.
the_unknown: he says no one has died since they were using that mode
*chat breaths huge sigh of relief*
the_unknown: but always assumed it was just a better design
the_unknown: not that there was actually a moderator
the_unknown: can I get the other visits?
*linked previous visits*
laparus: so she installed a failsafe that would fry the eye before it killed the anchors.
the_unknown: but that would mean she then like fucking
the_unknown: re wrote code in real time to restablish connection
the_unknown: thats insane
laparus: rewrote code in real time? what?!
the_unknown: thats what im saying thats not even possible
laparus: even from what I know about computers that still seems to be impossible
the_unknown: haha no man, I dont buy that
the_unknown: I cant even accept tha
laparus: is it possible she's got some kind of adaptive program, something that can just roll with whatever people can do?
the_unknown: warren just keeps smiling and noddind " oh she can she caaan
the_unknown: Im not buying his take on it tho…
laparus asks how warren is handling this info
the_unknown: mr has a poster of her in his bedroom
the_unknown: over here
the_unknown: hes kinda loopy
the_unknown: in a cute puppy kinda way
mari: Unknown, want that google doc?
the_unknown: please
*Mari links to google doc*
mari: Fouxe seemed to know you were coming last time
the_unknown: was the 15th the last visit?
mari: no, there was one earlier
redpaintfactory: wait who has a poster of who?
the_unknown: I was just making fun of warren for his fanboyism red
the_unknown: ok wait
the_unknown: so she came in before and said she was looking into people
the_unknown: then this?
Mari: yeee
the_unknown: well, it looks like she saw something she liked then
guest_246011: And shortly after I find myself allowed into sections of that database.
the_unknown: … this thing about bleeding gods
the_unknown: shit man… the stuff she has done to herself
the_unknown: ie that conviction
the_unknown: and saying that…
the_unknown: shit dude what if she has a team?
laparus: if she has a team, are you going to sign up?
the_unknown: I have my team thank you very much X3
laparus: but seriously, if she does have a team and she's on the up-and-up that could be good news for us.
the_unknown: if shes on the up and up yeah
the_unknown: Im not signing the fan club waiver just yet
the_unknown: at the least I would like to ask some questions
the_unknown: if there is a team
the_unknown: like… how they do it
laparus: a little advice from someone a bit more experienced certainly couldn't hurt.
the_unknown: deal with the guilt and all that
the_unknown: i dunno
the_unknown: more shots!
the_unknown: im sorry I couldnt help you guys more with this
the_unknown: I was really worried about this doofus
laparus: You're doing your best.
the_unknown: kinda fell apart a bit
mari: have we mentioned Natalie yet?
laparus: OH yeah! Natalie has shown up and talked to us. So we know she's safe-ish, kind of.
the_unknown: good!
the_unknown: well safe ish kind of I will take
the_unknown: big and lanky?
rabbit_table: yeah
redpaintfactory: still around
the_unknown: she must be resting safe tonight at least
mari: anddddddd have we mentioned Dox?
laparus: Dox… Dox doesn't exactly look well, but, he's asleep. or unconscious. but his breathing seems okay, and it looks closer to proper sleep than he's been for a while.
goose: Is he bleeding stil?
laparus: No. He's going to be getting over this for a while, I'd say. it's probably going to take him weeks to recover.
the_unknown: warren is now on a semi drunk rant about the weaver
the_unknown: yeah apparently its an encrypted video, on a private unlisted site
the_unknown: that aparently will take time to get into, assuming the hardware back home is not totally dead
laparus: You have any luck with the encryption?
the_unknown: hell man
the_unknown: its showtime shit
the_unknown: what I mean is
the_unknown: it is SOMETHING
redpaintfactory: * s h o w t i m e i n f o *
sage: if stk installed a hover cam i'm going to be upset
the_unknown: we will get into it
the_unknown: that shit doesnt come around much..
guest_246011: I may be able to get it working with my equipment, if Warren's needs replacing
redpaintfactory: yeah I'd like to know as much as possible before i fuck his show up
the_unknown: by the way buddy steave B is Stephen Brent
the_unknown: and he moved to texas a few months ago
banana: haha good job steve
the_unknown: is currently CURRENTLY working at a post office
the_unknown: and likely fled cause of you
mayaxpapaya: I would still like to know why I'm actually still breathing myself
the_unknown: good looks?
mayaxpapaya: If it's an issue of proximity
the_unknown: * flips hair *
mayaxpapaya: pffft
wren: jeez laptop, lemme say hi huh
the_unknown: it helps ok!?
the_unknown: I will stomp your purdy face
sage: *hides in corner*
mari: I found a thing

mari: on one of Fouxe's files
the_unknown: sage dont flatter me buddy dont you flatter me!

What is Exploding Head Syndrome Sleep Disorder?
The sleep disorder called Exploding Head Syndrome is a rather rare condition where the person wakes up abruptly feeling or hearing an explosive noise in their head. The strange thing is that there is no actual pain, but in this moment, it is such a shock to the person that it is not uncommon to have the perception of pain.
When does it happen?
It is quite a terrifying thing to experience and it happens when you are not yet awake, so it adds to the confusion or shock. The exploding head syndrome usually happens as you are about to fall asleep, but you are still awake, so in that transition window.
That said, there are actually reports of people having the exploding head syndrome during the day, when absolutely awake, so it is rather unclear and the scientists or doctors have not really pinpointed what the issue is, what is causing it and many other elements about it.
What is known however is that it tends to run in the family, so if someone has this sleep disorder then there is a high chance that others in the family at present or in the past also had this exact same disorder.
Quotes from Sufferers of Exploding Head Syndrome
- "…I immediately woke up in a sweat and my body was shaking…"
- "…just as I was about to fall asleep, it sounded like a 308 calibre rifle… The sound produced no pain, but did create anxiety for weeks…"
What Patients Report About Exploding Head Syndrome
- Explosive noise
- Perception of pain
- Flashing lights
- Inability to breathe
Frequency of occurrence is very random. These events can happen randomly or they can happen a lot during a certain period and then stop altogether for a long time.
People of any age can suffer from exploding head syndrome, but the older people, closer to retirement and above, tend to have it much more.
Final words on Exploding Head Syndrome
I hope this article was helpful to you and if you are experiencing this sleep disorder then at least you have comfort in knowing that apart from the shock and disturbance there is no known actual damage to your body or anyone else.

I've had Exploding Head Syndrome. Absolutely terrifying! Each time it woke me from sleep about 1:00am. The first time I "heard" very aggressive pounding on my front door. The next time I "heard" a large chandelier crash from the deiling onto the floor. I experienced both of these sounds several times during a time when my life was very stressful & I was exhausted.

Tyler Man Sentenced to Life in Prison on Sexual Assault of Child Convictions
A Tyler man convicted of multiple charges of aggravated sexual assault of a child and indecency with a child has been sentenced to life in prison.
Thomas Harold Brookbank, 22, was convicted Wednesday following a guilty plea. An investigation by Tyler Police revealed Brookbank sexually assaulted at least five children on numerous occasions at a so-called clubhouse located in a wooded area at a mobile home park on Shiloh Road.
Because one of the victims was under the age of 6, there is no chance for parole according to the Smith County District Attorney's office.

FASPE ("Fellowships at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics") for Law Students is an intensive two-week, all-expenses-paid educational fellowship program that examines the moral responsibilities and professional duties of legal practitioners, lawyers and judges in extreme as well as more routine situations. The Law Fellows study historical, philosophical, theological, and cultural texts related to Nazism and the Holocaust, building the context for the discussion of contemporary ethical issues, while visiting Holocaust-related interpretive and historical sites in New York, Berlin, Auschwitz, and Krakow. The goal of FASPE is to provide students with new insights that will help them tackle problems of moral reasoning in their future careers. Students of all religious faiths – or of none – are encouraged to apply. Selection for the fellowship is very competitive; high academic distinction and a clear vision of how the fellowship will be relevant for and beneficial to the applicant are essential. UNC professor Eric Muller is one of the fellowship program's faculty members.
Tentative dates of the fellowship are May 21 - June 1, 2012. Current 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls may submit applications, and UNC plans to endorse up to three candidates, selected by a panel of law school faculty and administrators.
After reviewing the information on the FASPE website (http://www.mjhnyc.org/faspe/pr_law.html), interested students wishing to receive UNC's endorsement need to write a short essay that explains why you are applying. Include what you can offer to FASPE, as well as what you hope to gain from it. Make sure to describe any previous experience you may have had with ethical issues or the study of ethics. Please also consider how your previous experiences might affect your fellowship and how you expect to use the experience of the program in your future profession. (750 words or less).
A copy of your essay and a resume need to be submitted electronically to Lindsay Knell in the CSO email@example.com by October 31.
The CRR-CLS Fellowship is a two-year, post-graduate fellowship that is designed to prepare recent law school graduates for legal academic careers. Fellows are affiliated with Columbia Law School and the Center for Reproductive Rights and they participate in the intellectual life of both institutions.
Future academics who are interested in women's rights, gender equality and/or human rights would be a great fit. Applicants do not need prior experience in reproductive rights nor do they need to be graduates of Columbia Law School to be eligible for this program. The deadline for the fellowship application is Monday, October 31. More information and an application can be found at the Center for Reproductive Rights' website.
To add items or provide feedback, please contact Sylvia Novinsky, Assistant Dean for Public Service Programs, or Mary Irvine, Public Service Fellow.

So you just got through Halloween, and chances are good that your sugar consumption is at an all-time high. Thankfully, we're here to help you get back on track.
As we head into the holiday season, don't wait until January 1st to commit to making good choices. Make this holiday season a juicy one! Drinking green juice resets your body, helping you release old habits and make new ones.
Adding juice to your diet is the best way to increase your life force energy. When we juice fruits and vegetables, we separate out the fiber, leaving the liquid that contains live enzymes, chlorophyll, vitamins, and minerals. Removing that fiber allows the nutrients to be released immediately to your cells and bloodstream in a form that's easy to assimilate.
Drinking green juice on a regular basis as well as cleansing can have so many amazing effects on your body. Chlorophyll, found in all green plants and juices, safely eliminates toxins on a cellular level while flooding the body with rich minerals and nutrients. A 16-ounce juice contains the nutrients of approximately four to six pounds of veggies and fruit.
Here are a few reasons to consider adding these nutrient-rich, power packed drinks to your daily regimen. They:
*Detox the body
*Boost your immune system
*Give your skin a healthy glow
*Promote weight management
*Increase energy
*Improve mental clarity
At Nourish Your Soul, we make our juices with an extraordinary amount of love! We use only the highest quality ingredients, and design them to nourish the body to help you look and feel your absolute best!
We have many green juices to meet your needs—find your favorite and use to fuel yourself through this busy season. Here's to a green holiday!
Our new location at Healthworks Back Bay is open, and you don't need to be a member to come enjoy our delicious juices and healthy menu items. We hope to see you soon!

Blaze 9-Ball Tour / Levittown, NY

The Blaze 9-Ball Tour stopped at Leisure Time Billiards August 26, 2007, where a field of 37 players came out to play. Topping players like Beau Baur, Oscar Bonilla, Mark Vidal, Bristol Bob Begey, and Mike Miller was Tony "The Silent Assassin" Robles.
Leading the top half of the bracket, Robles notched wins over Sean Gavins 7-1, Brian Cap 7-1, Carol Martorana 7-2, Wali Muhammad 7-3, and Marc Vidal 7-0. Miller led the bottom half of the bracket, with wins over Jorge Rodriquez 7-4, Vinnie Leone 7-2, Gordon R. 7-3 and Bristol Bob 7-3.
When Miller and Robles met in the hot seat match, it was all Robles, who won easily 7-3 and sent Miller to the one-loss side, where Bristol Bob awaited. Miller ran away with the match 7-3 to reach the finals. The rematch between Miller and Robles saw Robles pull off a double-hill victory.

Fit Small Business: Get Your Business Into Shape! › Forums › Small Business Finance Forum › At what point do you allow the buyers to see your financial statements and other › Reply To: At what point do you allow the buyers to see your financial statements and other
Jeff White
Hi Anna!
Thanks for your question! While anything is possible and everything is fair game during the sale of a business, this doesn't sound like a typical arrangement. Negotiations are typically a back and forth, and you should push back on things that you're not comfortable with. You're the one with the asset currently that your buyer potentially wants. So you do have some leverage there.
Typically a sales price is offered off of basic financial information (not detailed P&Ls or accounting records). From basic financial information a buyer will give a letter of intent offer with a potential sales price, if everything looks the way they expect when they get into the business to do their due diligence. Once you agree to that, and an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) is signed, then you typically give the buyer access to more detailed information.
During this time is when you should expect a potential price negotiation, because a letter of intent is not binding. But there is generally a time restriction (30-60 days) for them to go through their due diligence and finalize a purchase agreement, which is binding. The purchase agreement will have the final sales price.
Sales are structured many different ways, and depending on the nature of your business there might be a necessity to have tiered payments, but it shouldn't be because of a fear of clients not transferring. That's the nature of buying any business and his operations could be what prevents the client from transferring. Then you've lost revenue from a client and lost out on part of your sales price. That's not typical.
If you have any more direct questions please list the type of business and some basic parameters so we can discuss further.
Good luck!

His Labour opponents thanked heaven they were fighting William Hague - they might not be so happy he if becomes the next Tory leader.
As a former chancellor he has prospered as the chairman of Unichem (£120,000 a year) and deputy chairman of BAT (£50,000 a year).
Though he used his time in parliament to fight for his version of "one nation" pro-European Toryism, and he was very unlikely to defect to another party. His 60s-style Toryism is too deeply rooted.
Mr Clarke not only knows where all the Tory bodies are buried, he buried a few himself. He was no liberal under Mrs Thatcher, first as health secretary 1988-90, imposing Tory "reforms" as "Thatcherism with a human face", and then as education secretary 1990-92, trying to force teachers back into old-fashioned teaching techniques.
His stubbornness belies his background. His maternal grandfather was a Raleigh bicycle toolroom engineer and communist. His other grandfather was a pacifist who sold the Daily Herald at union rallies. His own father, a wartime collier electrician, turned against unions and became the owner of a jewellery business. His mother, a highly intelligent woman, died an alcoholic.
He decided at seven that he wanted to become an MP. Upon reaching Cambridge he joined both the Bow group and the moderate-Labour campaign for social democracy. He backed Macmillan's failed 1960 attempt to join the EEC and was elected chairman of the Cambridge University Conservative association which embraced John Gummer, Norman Fowler and Michael Howard.
After starting his career as a barrister, he fought hopeless Mansfield in 1964 and 1966, and then retook Rushcliffe from Labour in 1970. He began his climb as parliamentary private secretary to fellow barrister and "one nation" Europhile Geoffrey Howe and was unhappy when Margaret Thatcher defeated Mr Howe for the Tory leadership in 1975.
Mr Clarke started his ministerial life in 1979, when his Cambridge chum Norman Fowler asked for him as parliamentary secretary for transport. He then became minister for health under Mr Fowler in 1982. There he fought the unions and claimed that £6m could be recovered from overseas visitors. In 1985 he reached the cabinet as paymaster general, as No 2 to Lord Young.
He showed his continuing liberal streak by opposing hanging and supporting abortion. In 1990 he voted for Mrs Thatcher in the first round and Douglas Hurd in the second, although Europhobe Alan Clark thought "that podgy puffball" might stand himself.
Mr Clarke was a member of the government throughout the Conservatives' 18 years in power. His staying power marks him out from most of his colleagues and few doubt that they have heard the last of him yet.

I had a great weekend with my kids. My daughter and I had an daddy/daughter date going to the mall and eating dinner together. We walk into the mall and she asked can I hold your hand. It's good to know at 11 she still loves like that. We shopped for girls stuff and dad stuff to. Mostly we talked I enjoy because I can actually have an adult conversation with her about a lot of things. I never appreciated my time with her alone until I got divorced so another great thing from divorce.
Today my daughter with my mom to spend a few days and my son get to spend guy time. One of his favorite things to do is say butt-hole because he can't at any other time. So I allow but only during guy time. We also rented a baseball game for the PS3 and ate breakfast burritos together. We played the game together high 5 and farted like men do. When he laid down he said dad you're the best. My heart melted and then he gave me his Brayden hug. Their awesome!
I got lost in my marriage, from who I was, what I like, I wrote poems, wrote 2 songs and stopped. One of my favorite things to do is drive. I like to drive anywhere. Thats where I find myself and where i want to go.I have made the drive from here to Los Angeles three times and many find it boring but I found it amazing. Im a big fan of stopping in places that most won't. I enjoy the smell. the history, but mostly the people. I can talk to a wall if it will crack back at me. I enjoy people and their stories. It's not a great way to pickup women to go to a hole in the wall but you sure can appreciate it. In a lot of my travel driving I stop at truck stops. Some are scary but the people are amazing and the stories are even better. All the stories aren't true but amazing all the less. I remember one story after stopping at the same truck stop three times and was invited to the table to listen. I was asked why do you think I drive a truck. I said honestly because you like to be alone and couldn't do anything else. ( Yes I judged) He looked at me with tears in his eyes and said son I lost my wife and two daughters in a car wreck and I only wanted to be alone. I didn't want to live and couldn't commit suicide so I did what lonely people do and drove a truck. He has a cat named some patches and that's go enough for him. I like seeing the real people of the world those who just don't give a F%^K. They live life the way I can't but for a few hrs I get to play that way. I like to watch those same people get high and wonder where they go because I have never been.
I love Southern California. It's the only place in my life I have ever felt at peace. I like the weather, the laid back attitude and yes the women. I would move there in a heart beat but wouldn't ever give up my kids.
I like weird beer, I like music you don't like. I like people with the sparkle in their eye. You may have no idea what I'm talking about sparkle but once you see it you will know. I like picking up pennies on the ground and aluminum cans.
I like to kiss (only women) it's the most intimate act two people can do and I'm really good at it.I like hugging people like they have never been hugged before. I like to change the stereotype that people have about me when they see me.I like the cut cactus apart and suck the water out them. I like the smell of fresh-cut grass but not when its wet because that reminds me of two a days.
I like to go to a place where nobody knows me and make friends with a total stranger. I like bagpipes, I love pretty feet, I like horses races, I like to people watch and see people smile. I like to watch an equalizer on a stereo to see when the voices get excited and when they get low. I like to stare at people and get caught then wink. It makes them think your weird which I am but I like to get a rise out of people. Maybe one day it will get me a date.
I have more but Im saving some of them for that someone special.

"Juliette hasn't touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don't fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she's exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior."
At first I was excited to be reading this book because the writing style was attempting something different and unique. But, it became a
While reading the book, my questions weren't about what was going to happen next, but when was the story going to begin. It is written in the POV of the heroine, Juliette with a very tight first person, so much so that it had a claustrophobic feeling to it with no breathing space.
Also, I found the story and the characters to be predictable which could have used the writers imaginative writing style to lend it some uniqueness. I did think I was reading something I had read or seen before with characters that are similar to the X-Men.
So, did I hate it? No, but I didn't like it either. It's more along the lines of disappointment that the writer didn't temper the style of writing to allow the story to emerge. Although frustrated with this book, I think the writer shows promise. I will look for future books from this writer but will not read the rest of this series.
There is a bare minimum of worldbuilding. Because most of the descriptions are tied to metaphors, which are abstract in nature, I had to imagine for myself what the settings looked like. I think it's good to allow the reader to create to some extent the surroundings, but if done too much it all becomes a dream and nothing is concrete. Also, the whys and the hows of the way things work in this society is missing.
Overall Juliette Ferrars, whose head we are in through out the story shows spunk and holds on to her humanity in a world that has none. I think, if a reader loves to be in the head of the main character and is only interested in being in the stream of consciousness of a character's thoughts and feelings, then this is the character and book for them.
Adam Kent the love interest, is too perfect to be real. Enough said.
Note: The romance storyline didn't have any hiccups along the way. It was a pretty smooth ride for these young lovers which rang untrue to me. Even, Cinderella lost the prince after the ball.
Pros and Cons:
I think I've covered those issues already.

Welcome to 2014
A year of opportunity and optimism for all Vectorworks users
So, the first full working week of 2014 has come and gone and if the level of business through the rest of the year continues at the same rate, it will be an incredibly busy one.
January is always one of our busiest months, but in the first week of January this year, we have done almost as much business as we did in the whole of the month last year. Obviously that is good news for us, but more importantly, it's good news for our clients and the industries we serve. It means that they are equipping themselves with the design tools and focused, relevant training to make 2014 a successful year for their own businesses.
Towards the end of 2013, clients were telling us that they were becoming increasingly busy and that they were looking forward with optimism to 2014. It seems that this optimism has not been misplaced.
Indeed, on one morning I was at a meeting at the offices of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) where Stephen Hodder, the recently elected President of the RIBA was laying out his vision for the development of the profession and the institute itself. In his talk he echoed the optimism that we had seen, explaining that 2013 had witnessed the first year of growth in architectural business since the crash in 2008. The major areas of expansion were identified as private housing and retrofit, which will become increasingly important when you consider the fact that 80% of the buildings in the UK in 2050 are already in existence now. Stephen also explained that there has been a shift in the way that architectural business develops, with 40% of architectural contracts being awarded through contractor lead procurement. With this shift, collaboration, and hence BIM, are becoming increasingly vital elements in current and future projects.
Fortunately for us, collaboration has always been an ingredient in the development of the Vectorworks product suite and sharing of information, together with coordinated 2D drawings and 3D models, has been part of Vectorworks client projects for many years. However, the impetus that Stephen Hodder has seen in the world of architecture is one that we see reflected in our own business as clients strive to fit their practices for the world of collaboration and BIM in 2014 and beyond. Vectorworks users themselves are increasingly moving to the latest 2014 version of their chosen software. In addition, businesses who have historically used alternative offerings, spurred on by the need to remain competitive, are reviewing the options for best in class design tools and the recent NBS BIM survey shows Vectorworks as one of the leading choices.
The ability to collaborate and work more efficiently becomes even more important when you consider that staffing levels in architecture are still only at 75% of what they were before the credit crunch. All design businesses, no matter in what industry, are looking to do more with less. That means not only using technology more, but understanding how people and technology can work better and more efficiently, with optimised workflows and work processes - and that's exactly where we become involved.

Hello, I am 18 years old and going to college. Within the last month a doctor, a neurologist, (who has only known me only during the time I speak of) has put me on Vyvanse for ADHD and Remeron for sleep/appetite.
The first week of medication I was very energetic and productive and the Remeron helped me sleep. The second week I did nothing but lay around very depressed and slept a lot. The third and fourth week I have not been able to sleep very well at all and have been obsessively working on music (7-10 hours a day).
While on these medications my thoughts feel cluttered, like they are tripping over each other and have been more agitated. Towards the end of the day I have problems with memory also.
I've always been a jittery, scattered minded person with spouts of extreme energy and have had many "episodes", varying in length, of deep depression over the years. On a day to day basis my moods change on a dime and I have bursts of rage over insignificant things and I've had some minor tics (flaring nostrils and clenching jaw). I've always liked smoking weed to help "slow me down", increase my appetite, sleep well, put me in a good mood, etc. But, I cant live as a "criminal" forever without major consequences; hence me going to a neurologist.
I told the doctor all this but he seems to stay convinced that I am ADHD, so he put me on Concerta and Seroquel (which I have yet to start). I'm not arrogant enough to come to a conclusion myself, but I do have my doubts.
What do you think?
Dear Michegan
I realize this is late. I apologize for the oversight. I wonder what has happened over the past few months. I don't think its arrogant at all for you to have doubts about the medication and the diagnosis. I think it would be important to know what your family history is. If you have a history of bipolar disorder this is significant. I think your experience however, on the medication is the most important. In no is arrogant to try and determine what might be happening with you. I would continue to do research and keep careful track of the medications that you have been prescribed and the specific reactions you had. Good luck to you and please update us on your progress.

What I LOVE Right Now:
Fairy Tail (Season 2): Yes, I do think the manga has better pacing but I still look forward to "Fairy Tail Friday!" Fairy Tail is, and likely always will be, one of my favorite anime/manga.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: I can't say enough about how awesome this show is. I had no experience with the manga so every week as part of "Fuck Yeah Fridays" I can't wait to see what the hell JoJo's is going to do this episode. Joseph yelling, "Oh NO!" is quite possibly the highlight of my week.
Hunter x Hunter: This show is amazing. Incredible. Life-changing, even? Is the author fucking with your head most of the time? Absolutely. But I think wondering how Togashi is going to troll us this week is what makes it fun. Maybe I'm just a masochist.
Naruto Shippuden: Okay, I was originally going to downgrade this to the "What I Like Right Now" category but as I watch the latest episodes I'm reminded of what's going on in the manga right now and I realize how much I still love the series. Sure it may be cheating to think of it that way, but it qualifies as love-by-association.
Ace of the Diamond: I'm a sucker for sports anime and their baseball butts are fantastic. Things are in full swing (as they should be by episode 44) and we're getting some great action and development. I've never enjoyed watching live baseball but apparently I love watching animated baseball! (By the way, go watch Princess Nine!)
Haikyu!!: So far I feel every episode has been perfect, which is pretty amazing. Even anime I love have an episode or two that are "weak" but after every Haikyu!! I just want to scream, "That was so good! That was incredible!" I hope I didn't just jinx it.
Sailor Moon Crystal: I…don't really know what to say about this show. I end up laughing because it feels like a parody of itself. Though there is a sense of nostalgia, I started watching thinking I am much more adult and cynical…and it took me all of half a second to realize I still have a crush on Tuxedo Mask. >_< I guess I'm ruined on real men forever… Ahem, that aside, I can't help but look forward to every episode.
Free! (Eternal Summer): Yeah, I'll say it: after the first series, I was happy with the ending and didn't really think a second season was necessary. Then I ended up grinning/laughing/squeeing the entire first episode of Eternal Summer and surprised myself realizing how much I'd missed those swimming boys. "Free! Eternal Summer: now with twice the fanservice!" No complaints here. 🙂
Samurai Jam-Bakumatsu Rock: When I first read the description of this on Crunchyroll News I was ridiculously excited. Then my brother read the description and said, "Oh look, someone crawled into your brain and made an anime just for you." Is this show stupid? Yes. Do I love it? YES. Did I just about die laughing during the bath house episode? YES YES YES. I love the shit out of this stupid show; I want it to go on forever.
Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun: I laugh my ass off every episode. This is definitely one of my favorites of the season. I feel like I should have more to say about it to explain how awesome it is but really, it's just incredibly hilarious.
Love Stage!!: BL was never really my thing but this anime amused me from the beginning. Then I saw a tweet talking about how it was "no Sekai Ichi Hatsukoi" and out of curiosity I watched that (and ended up really liking it). So now I guess BL is my thing and I can't wait to watch the latest Love Stage!! every week.
Hamatora (Season 2/Re:Hamatora): Things seem to be opening up and escalating which, to me, is Hamatora at its best. Let shit get crazy. **This was originally placed in the "What I Like Right Now" category, but after watching episode 6, it moved up.**
Space Dandy (Season 2): I loved the first season, I love pompadours, and I love Junichi Suwabe's voice. The musical episode is one of my favorites.
Black Butler (Book of Circus): I didn't really want to fangirl over Sebastian because that's soooo predictable but every time I watch an episode (or read a volume of manga) I can't help but think, "Sebastian is simply one hell of a…mmm!" So yes, despite my efforts, I'm (still) smitten with Sebastian and a total sucker for anything Black Butler-related. I had previously read the Book of Circus arc in the manga and the anime does not disappoint.
Barakamon: I cannot say enough about how fucking wonderful this show is. Definitely one of the best shows of the season and I've watched each episode at least twice now. I admit to being incredibly frustrated seeing the tweets of enjoyment from everyone else watching it while I was waiting for Funimation to get it streaming…but it was worth the wait. Love love love this show.
What I Like Right Now:
Blue Spring Ride: I want to love it but it's still a little too slow-paced-awkward-glance-shojo-y for me to truly love it. I feel that way about several anime adaptations of shojo manga that I've seen (Kimi ni Todoke and Say I Love You come to mind). However, it is what it's supposed to be (if that makes sense) and does a decent job in that respect.
Akame ga Kill!: I really like this show but I just don't love it quite yet. I love it but I'm not in love with it? It's funny yet gritty and the characters are interesting. Perhaps most important is the buff guy with a pompadour; that's the easiest way to guarantee I'll watch. Seriously, though, I think this anime will only get better (I haven't read the manga) and wouldn't be surprised if it eventually moves into the What I LOVE list.
Sabagebu!: This probably would've been in the What I LOVE list after the first episode or two but as of right now, I enjoy it but don't really get excited about it. It is very funny, though, and I do recommend it.
Terror in Resonance: Yes, I started watching this because of the hype…and kept watching because it's pretty good. It's not my typical genre but it's good to branch out once in a while and the whole show feels very "tight" and well-constructed.
What I'm Sticking With For Reasons Even I Don't Know:
Captain Earth: Yes, I still watch this and still think Akari is the best character. I don't particularly look forward to it and admittedly watch it out of a strange sense of obligation. I have enjoyed the last couple episodes the most and I am genuinely curious to see how it'll all wrap up.
Argevollen: I just finished episode 7 and I think that's the first episode I watched in one sitting without falling asleep. I love the character design, like the concept, but I end up getting so bored when I actually *watch* the show. I keep thinking if I stick with it things will pick up and suck me in. *fingers crossed*
Rail Wars: Do I like this show or just tolerate it? I don't really know. For some reason, I thought it would be better than it is and while I understand boobs are important, all the big boobs seem just a little too big to the point of being distracting. Perhaps Boob Wars would have been a better name? I do like the secondary characters, though, so I'll stick with it a little longer.
Magimoji Rurumo: I started this because of its association with Yowamushi Pedal (which I love). I continue it because…every episode I get bored and then one scene will end up grabbing my attention and renewing my interest. I can't quit you, Magimoji Rurumo!
Aldnoah Zero: Like Argevollen, I liked the plot and the character design. And, like Argevollen, I have a bad habit of falling asleep during the episode. But I did stay awake for all of episode 6 and it (mostly) held my attention, so things are looking up!
Nobunaga Concerto: Truth be told, I'll watch pretty much anything related to Nobunaga/the Sengoku Period. The animation style is a bit off-putting but at least things are starting to get a little more interesting.
Shonen Hollywood: Okay, I know why I started watching it (don't we all know why I started watching it?) but it's kind of emo and not very exciting. But hey, beautiful boys being emo is better than no beautiful boys at all…huhwhat?

Statement of Purpose
Progressive Librarians Guild was formed in New York City on January 1990 by a group of librarians concerned with our profession's rapid drift into dubious alliances with business and the information industry, and into complacent acceptance of service to an unquestioned political, economic and cultural status quo. See the 1997 Letter from Mark Rosenzweig to PLG members describing changes in the organization that had come about up to that point.
PLG reaffirmed, significantly, that the development of public libraries was initially spurred by popular sentiment which for one reason or another held that real democracy requires an enlightened citizenry, and that society should provide all people with the means for free intellectual development. Current trends in librarianship, however, assert that the library is merely a neutral institutional mediator in the information marketplace and a facilitator of a value-neutral information society of atomized information consumers.
A progressive librarianship demands the recognition of the idea that libraries for the people has been one of the principal anchors of an extended free public sphere which makes an independent democratic civil society possible, something which must be defended and extended. This is partisanship, not neutrality.
Members of PLG do not accept the sterile notion of the neutrality of librarianship, and we strongly oppose the commodification of information which turns the 'information commons' into privatized, commercialized zones. We will help to dissect the implications of these powerful trends, and fight their anti-democratic tendencies.
PLG recognizes that librarians are situated as information workers, communications workers, and education workers, as well as technical workers. Like workers in every sector, our work brings us up against both economic and political issues. Cataloging, indexing, acquisitions policy and collection development, the character of reference services, library automation, library management, and virtually every other library issue embody political value choices. PLG members aim to make these choices explicit, and to draw their political conclusions.

Night Moves - Film Review
A sparse but chilling eco-thriller starring Jesse Eisenberg
Jesse Eisenberg (The Social Network) and Dakota Fanning (Twilight) play a pair of idealistic eco-warriors in writer/director Kelly Reichardt's tense, slow-burning thriller. Josh (Eisenberg) and Dena (Fanning) join forces with Peter Saarsgard's Harmon, and the trio, fed up of hippy talk about changing the world slowly, plan to "save the salmon" by plotting to blow up a hydroelectric dam in a nature reserve in Oregon. The environmental terrorists hope to raise awareness and then disappear off the grid but they soon find that, just like Kermit the frog, it's not easy being green.
The film's title echoes the Gene Hackman 1975 noir film and is the name of the speedboat the trio pack with ammonium nitrate-based fertiliser to make a crude but deadly bomb. While the Machiavellian ex-Marine Harmon lurks off screen, Reichardt cleverly leaves the verdict on organic farmer Josh and trust fund revolutionary Dena open. Are they environmental heroes or vegan villains who can't see the bigger picture? It's the audience's call.
Reichardt has said that the Pacific Northwest feels like the environmental front line and her documentary-style offers food for thought before the drama shifts gears. The structure of the film recalls the intense build of a creeping heist movie merged with the pause for thought stylings of an arthouse drama. The score by Jeff Grace delivers a dark mood with its synthesised chord swells as Josh and Dena face up to the harsh realities of their mission in a disturbing final act. Prepare to be gripped.
Director: Kelly Reichardt
Release date: 29 Aug, 2014

Crown Royal ending NASCAR team sponsorship
Crown Royal will end its sponsorship with Roush Fenway Racing at the end of the year.
Crown Royal has sponsored Matt Kenseth for the last two seasons. The company sponsored Kurt Busch and Jamie McMurray before that.
But Crown Royal said Tuesday it will only be the title sponsor of the Sprint Cup race in Richmond going forward.
Parent company Diageo also says it is ending its official sponsor deal with NASCAR.
RFR began the season with all four of its primary sponsors up for renewal. The team renewed 3M and driver Greg Biffle in April.
Aflac and driver Carl Edwards are unsigned beyond this year, and current David Ragan sponsor UPS has not been renewed yet.

A plan to limit federal spending into 2017 could threaten key programs at Newport News Shipbuilding considered top priorities for the Navy, lawmakers and analysts say.
Of chief concern: the Navy's plan to build a new fleet of ballistic missile submarines and continued progress on the Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier program.
The 12 new submarines will replace 14 aging Ohio-class boats as the undersea leg of U.S. nuclear deterrence. The Ford-class carriers are meant to be the centerpiece of projecting naval air power well into this century.
The worst-case scenario is one of program delays, rising costs and possible job losses in the region. Then again, Congress could...

The top dogs in the oil business, Chevron, BP and Exxon have been taking a beating lately with crude oil prices in the $40 per barrel range but no need to feel sorry for them, they haven't switched to driving Yugo's. Yeah, they're still making money but it's a bit tougher for the average investor to cash in with oil stocks, unless you can think a little differently. Dave Bartosiak has a better idea.
I get the question "What are the best oil stocks to buy?" all the time. Recently I've been asked that more and more as oil continues to drop. For some reason Americans love oil. Even more, they love oil stocks. We've been pounded over the head so much with "peak oil" theories and talk of oil going up forever that the thought of a new paradigm in oil prices is just beyond us.
Don't think that the bottom for oil is in. There is new supply coming online daily, a weak Chinese currency isn't going to help, and neither will changes on the demand side of the equation. If you're looking to pick that bottom, good luck. The problem with trying to pick bottoms is you can only be right once, but you can be wrong a lot of times.

Location: Peter Island, BVI
For our second exam day everyone was woken up with energizing Shakira music and sweet, gentle wake-ups from Nick (he wanted to redeem himself due to his history of horribly obnoxious wake-ups). Aaron impressed everyone with his perfectly symmetrical dairy-free pancakes and his one enormous 'man-cake'. After breakfast we spent the morning studying for marine biology; by the time the exam came we all felt well prepared and finished swiftly. Talking afterwards, we all felt it was super easy and that we did very well! Following the exam, the crew spent the afternoon working on navigation; Chesapeake bay charts were everywhere while all the students focused and began to fully understand the problems. At shower time Yi attempted a front flip which didn't quite work, but she hasn't given up; a true inspiration to us all! Alex and I attempted back layouts (back-flips where you don't tuck at all, straight bodied), and Alex's was great! After fish tacos for dinner, our second squeeze question answered what we would want to look like as an alien. Tonight everyone is trying to get our final navigation studying in, and we all hope to do well tomorrow morning!

Last week, a blog post discussed how several police precincts in the Bronx were currently at the center of a large-scale investigation into allegations of ticket-fixing. Now, another prominent law enforcement agency in the Bronx - the district attorney's office - is under the spotlight for perhaps providing favorable treatment to a fellow prosecutor who was arrested for DUI.
According to sources, officers responding to the scene of a three-car accident on the Major Deegan Expressway in August 2010 came upon Jennifer T., a Bronx prosecutor, speaking into a cell phone and walking in traffic.
Prior to being arrested on suspicion of drunk driving, Jennifer T. allegedly said into the cell phone, "I'll get out of this like I did last time. Nestor [F.] will get me out. He's chief of narcotics at the D.A.'s office. I just need to talk to him. I got arrested but didn't go through the system four years ago. Four years ago this happened and I learned my lesson."
Interestingly, no investigating agency - including the Bronx D.A.'s office, the Manhattan D.A.'s office (handling Jennifer T.'s DUI case in order to avoid a conflict of interest) or the New York Police Department (NYPD) - appears to have ever looked into the truth of these statements until it was recently brought to light by various media outlets.
In fact, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly indicated last week that an investigation into the matter was not officially launched until "allegations surfaced in the media."
"So far we haven't been able to find anything in the records about that supposed stop or bringing that individual into the station house," said Kelly of the investigation. "We're checking databases, command logs, that sort of thing."
As for the Bronx D.A.'s office, a spokesperson indicated that Nestor F. - the district attorney referenced by Jennifer T. - engaged in no questionable conduct and only told her to contact her bureau chief on the night of her August 2010 drunk driving arrest.
Interestingly, Jennifer T.'s attorney, Howard H. Weiswasser, expressed his belief that his client had been only been detained and released on the earlier DUI arrest (he did not represent her at that time). He also indicated that she denied any wrongdoing.
