I did not grow up in the US, so I had never heard of this magazine until a year ago when I picked up several of them at a yard sale. I was so impressed I knew I would want a subsribtion for my future child. Now I am expecting and I am going to subsribe to it in advance. I am really looking forward to read it with my son. The magazine is full of good educational articles that also build a good character, teach manners, etc. It's very refreshing to see such wholesome material. It reminds me of the magazines I read as a kid growing up in Eastern Europe. The big plus of this publication is that it's age appropriate which is especially important nowadays when you see little kids exposed to adult stuff. Personally I want my child to have a normal childhood without the everpresent pop-icons, rap and movie stars.

my mother subscribed to this for me when i was a child. I enjoyed every page; from the articles to the activity sheets, loved the jokes and riddles. Now I have a son who is in the 1st grade but is reading on a 2nd grade level. I just had no idea how much it cost. Now that the price has went down, I feel confident to buy and know that my "baby" will appreciate it and have fun (without knowing hes learning)!
The above con is very minor but it does make all the material a bit difficult to match up. However, it is an opportunity to display in an interactive way with a little forethought. My girls learn a lot and these materials guide us to teach our girls in a way we might not do and touch on subjects we might neglect.

I enjoyed Highlights for Children magazine when I was a child and now I can relive the fun with my three children---20, 8, 6. The Hidden Pictures activity is one of their favorites. This is a great magazine for children 5-12.

Highlights Magazine Video Review
I'm Nikki from Magazines.com.
Want your kid to have a break from his precious screen time but bypass the wails of boredom, and pestering his brother? Look no further than Highlights magazine. You remember it, right? That great activity magazine you got to work through when all your schoolwork was done. I know I went looking for it not to long ago for my kids, and I'm so glad I can introduce my guys to such a goldmine of entertainment!
Do yourself a favor. Your kids will be so consumed with Highlights' puzzles and games that they probably won't even realize it's learning wrapped in fun – that they can do themselves!, Shh… That's the sound of peace and quiet in your home.
Aside from all the fun that Highlights has delivered for generations, your kids will be also exposed to features on other kids from around the world. But perhaps the very best part of the kids' magazine is its annual "State of the Kid Report," which surveys kids on topics like bullying and , what they believe worries their parents, and even gender roles.
A magazine that makes your kids more aware of the world surrounding them AND gives you back some sanity is a win-win for everyone. Thanks for checking out my review of Highlights magazine and the current subscription discounts and offers on this great title from Magazines.com.

To Mayor Hindman and members of the City Council:
It is an honor to discuss the well-being of Columbia with you. As required by our City Charter, the City Manager has a yearly duty to submit to the Council a statement of recommendations which will be of benefit to the City and to let you know about the state of affairs in the community. For me, this is more than a legal requirement. It's an opportunity to share my perspective on the City's progress and its possibilities. It's an opportunity to share ideas for new initiatives that we'll be discussing with the City Council at its annual retreat later this week.
I also want to use this forum to thank a man who did so much to lay a strong foundation for this community…former City Manager Ray Beck. Ray was an excellent steward of this asset we call "Columbia." His work was all about making our town a "full-service city," one that is virtually unmatched in Missouri or the Midwest.
Our current condition and the attainment of last year's accomplishments are due, in large part, to Ray's steady direction. I am pleased to report that Columbia has a growing population, a vibrant economy and a strong fiscal position.
No one can replicate Ray's work or step into his shoes. But my goal for Columbia is to keep adding value to our asset…this place where we make our homes, raise our children and build our lives. My belief is that Columbia is poised to take flight, if we share a common vision. And my hope is that citizens and their government will be proud champions for Columbia and its future.
The central city, including downtown and surrounding neighborhoods, contains our genesis…our original public asset. The place where we're standing today is part of the Columbia established in 1826, after settlers decided that Smithton was not a healthy place. You don't neglect your roots, and you don't diminish your asset.
I see a center City where unique businesses thrive in a lively downtown…where the public and private sectors make long-term capital commitments…where new investment reaches into older neighborhoods. City government has the capacity to add value here, and I will urge the Mayor and City Council to aggressively pursue this course.
Over the last few months, I've often posed this rhetorical question: "What does Columbia want to be when it grows up?" Anyone who has helped a son or daughter take flight knows the challenge of finding the answer. When poised for change, both communities and individuals need critical information.
We need to examine our aspirations…Do they make sense for us? We need to look at ourselves in context…What's happening in the world around us, and how do we compare? We don't live in a vacuum. We need facts that help lead us to reasoned choices.
And we need support from others. I see a Columbia where an inclusive community visioning process creates a public consensus of what is important to us. Other communities have shown that a broad-based, shared vision helps answer the question about grown-up aspirations. It can generate a set of core values that marks Columbia as a very special place.
You could say that I am one of Columbia's official champions. And I'm not just saying this because of my position. It would be impossible, after living here and working for the City for so many years, not to feel an immense pride in what we have. Let me take a moment to thank the Mayor and Council members, our City employees, the volunteers who serve on City boards and commissions and all those who give their best every day. You are the people who make things work.
I see a Columbia where everyone wants to be a champion for the community…where open communication leads to mutual credibility and trust between citizens and their government. Where, even though people may disagree with some of government's decisions, they still choose to support Columbia's cause because they know that the process is fair. I will continue to make a personal commitment to improving the connections between citizens and government and among those who work within City Hall.
* * *
Fiscal Year 2007 starts next October 1, but we are in the final stages of preparing the budget, our blueprint for action, which the Council will begin publicly reviewing in just a few weeks. Let me speak briefly about my priorities and initiatives for the next fiscal year. Because they add exceptional value to community assets, they deserve special emphasis.
For me, Stephen Covey's perspective on management and leadership sums up the link between visioning and planning. Covey said that:
"Management is efficiency in climbing the ladder of success; Leadership determines whether the ladder is leaning against the right wall."
It makes no sense to quickly get up the ladder if it doesn't take us where we need to go.
It's important to have solid data on population projections, income and education levels, age distribution and housing needs. Our vision may be driven by hopes, but planning and implementation must be driven by data. We owe citizens a planning process that points to "the right wall" with accurate facts and reasonable forecasts. In the upcoming year, we'll prepare that data.
Columbia will continue to add renewable energy sources, most probably including landfill gas and wind, to its energy portfolio. It is urgent, however, that the City does whatever it can to assure that its electric system remains safe and reliable and that it maintains some level of independence from volatile energy markets. Our ability to enter into cost-efficient partnerships and contracts is critical to serving homes, businesses and institutions. During the upcoming year, we need to complete our community dialog as to the best way to accomplish this.
Citizens want better roads and traffic flow. Voters approved initiatives to improve water, public safety, streets and sidewalks. Their message is clear, but sometimes our response is not. The City will redouble its efforts to strengthen a coordinated planning process aimed at bringing these threads together.
We have two exceptional opportunities before us. The first is a major renovation of City Hall. The Daniel Boone Building has been a downtown landmark since it was built in 1917. This building, now the focus of our local city government, needs to continue to be a prominent landmark we are proud of. I strongly believe that local government has a stewardship responsibility to maintain this and all of our buildings in sound condition.
If we proceed, this investment will add significant value to the downtown area; will provide safe, decent working conditions for City employees in a central, accessible location; and will take care of our office space needs for many years. Office space is a cost of doing business, and we can and should accomplish this without asking for a tax increase.
The second opportunity is particularly exciting and initiates a joint planning partnership involving the City, the University of Missouri and Stephens College. This planning partnership will coordinate public and private development in a corridor between Providence Road and College Avenue.
For the first time, these entities will coordinate work to keep the boundaries we share vibrant and to provide locations for special opportunities. A new, joint non-profit development corporation can allow the partnership to implement projects and take advantage of state incentives. We can complete our planning efforts this year and be better prepared for new initiatives next year.
Our workforce is City government's greatest asset. Our employees are committed to public service but, even with that level of excellence, we must add value to meet future challenges.
In a relatively short time, I think we'll see a significant number of long-tenured, high-experience employees leave our workplace. This trend already has begun. The City must develop strategies to attract a new generation of workers, with a very different set of expectations, into public service.
While preparing for this shift, we must develop an organization that instills internal coordination as a public service value. Faulty communication and inefficiency are what citizens dislike most about bureaucracies. This year, we must initiate a workforce planning and development program.
Citizens treasure Columbia's natural areas and expect development to be balanced by reasonable preservation. I think we need to assess and catalogue the natural treasures we have, to identify the stable and vulnerable areas and to make this part of the City's regular planning process. We should begin this work in 2007.
And we treasure our parks, but our recreation fields are at capacity. Columbia needs a new, regional park to accommodate sports and family uses – a "Cosmo" park for the next generations. Park development on this scale takes a long time, and we need to start work now if we want to add exceptional value and another jewel to our environmental assets.
Last, but arguably most important, we must insure our local economy remains vibrant and robust, both short- and long-term. We should continue our support of Discovery Ridge and the University's business incubator. We should maintain a business climate where new, 21st Century jobs for all our residents can come and grow.
* * *
When I think of Columbia, I like to recall the words of naturalist John Muir. He said, "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it attached to the rest of the world," He was so right.
Geographically, Columbia is in the middle of things. It's a major crossroads attached to the rest of the world through learning, transportation, culture and the economy. I believe that what makes Columbia particularly special is that we are a community of optimists, attached to each other…neighbor-to-neighbor…interest-to-interest.
We also are strongly attached to our history and our tradition, but we're feeling the tug of the future. As your City Manager, it is my honor to serve you at this time of decision. My door is open to you at any time.

Jour du Macaron 2
Vienna for Beginners said...Free food for our starving artist!What more can you wish for? Did you manage to get a second helping? Well a girl has to do her research doesn't she?
Yes, I admit it. I went to Pierre Herme's other boutique on 185, rue Vaugiraud to report on the JOUR DU MACARON goings ons. Here I'm checking my watch. How long will the wait be? Not long but the tension is palpable!
ARNAUD LARHER's patisserie was also participating JOUR DU MACARON, on 53, rue Caulaincourt in the 18th. Beautiful bins of macs filled the windows.A rainbow of colors...A rainbow of prices too. Starting at 8.20 euros.The tasting or degustation at ARNAUD LARHER. Just me and two students, gobbling up delicious samples.
There is something genuinely heartfelt about Pierre Herme sharing his incredible goodies with all the world who come to his door on one day a year. True, it's for a very good cause, but the generosity of heart and thought is touching - a giving back to the people..
BIG MERCI PIERRE HERME for JOUR DU MACARON!
25 comments:
Omigosh!!! What a gorgeous sight they are, aren't they?
For the World Gourmet Summit this year, the great man himself, Pierre Herme will be in Singapore in early April to present a dessert dinner AND give a cooking masterclass. Not sure if he'll present his famous Ispahan though. I'm soooo tempted to get a ticket for the event and maybe meet this demi-god.

To true Ruthie the way some on MW are talking you would think it was a major disaster. What they should have taken into account is that Andy made more points getting to the 1/4 finals unlike last year when he was out after the first round.

Don't know if this is the right place to put my post but it seems as if the draw for Miami is out. Its not on the apt website as it usually is but in a very convoluting article it says that\andy will probably meet Tomic in the second round,Dimitrov in the third,Janowicz in the 4th with Tsonga in the quarters. They give no suggestion for semis or final

^ I think his semi could be Berdych, with Nole and Delpotro possibly meeting in the other semi. If they all get that far, that is.
Am not sure how far JMDP will go tbh. Will be an interesting test of his will/stamina.

Murray can be world No.1 this year, says Del Potro
LONDON | Tue Mar 19, 2013 12:43pm GMT
(Reuters) - Indian Wells runner-up Juan Martin del Potro believes Britain's Andy Murray can become world tennis number one this year.
The towering Argentine beat Murray in the quarter-finals last week on the California hard courts and is looking forward to locking horns with him on grass after confirming he will play at the Aegon Championships at London's Queen's Club two weeks before Wimbledon.
"Murray is a big champion, he already won a grand slam, he made the finals in Australia and he has everything he needs to be at the top in the future," Del Potro said in a statement.
"He will be fighting for the world number-one place this year and he can take a big opportunity in the grass season."
This year's Queen's Club field promises to be strong, with Wimbledon runner-up Murray joined by former U.S. Open champion del Potro and Tomas Berdych at the event starting on June 10.
Del Potro, who has taken a while to get used to playing on the low-bouncing grasscourts, was a bronze medallist at the Olympics staged at Wimbledon last year, and believes he could challenge for the Wimbledon title.
"I have a fantastic memory from last year when I won the bronze medal at the Olympics," he said.
"It was a magnificent experience for me. I had never played at an Olympics before so it was a big moment for me and my country. To win on grass at Wimbledon as well made it an even bigger moment.
"I think that if I play my best tennis I have a chance to win a grand slam on grass, but it will be very difficult."

Article mostly on Lendl but a mention of Andy too...
What a great article, thanks for that u2jcc.
I loved that it was written by someone growing up watching Lendl The Player with his dad.
Lendl was an often misunderstood genius. Just like Andy.
I can't get the vids to play, but I loved these excerpts from the article:
The main thing he imparts to the British player is preparation. Win or lose, if you're prepared and you do your best no one can take that away from you.
"You just train and through training and repetition you hit the shot and execute it so many times that all of a sudden you can do it under pressure and that's where the confidence comes from," he said.
I asked him if a champion or greatness is something that can be taught. He said it all just comes down to "a lot of work, a lot of talent, a lot of luck."
Before winning the Olympic gold medal and U.S. Open title last year many had questioned Murray's self-confidence.
But Lendl believes that while mental strength is key, so are stamina and physical strength.
"These days if the top guys don't play their best in the early rounds they can lose," he said.
Believe it or not when it comes to competing Lendl says he still feels nervous.
"It's because I care. If you don't get nervous, you don't care about how you do," he said.
Two of his daughters also play golf -- choosing it over tennis partly because of the pressure of having to live up to the Lendl name.
His advice to them is the same advice his gives Murray: "When it's going good take it and be humble and when it's not going good, accept it as well and just keep training. Stay level-headed either way. Don't get too high or too low."

Andy Murray explains why Miami base helps his tennis
When he's not travelling the world pitting himself against the best players in the top tournaments, Andy Murray likes to indulge in some dolphin spotting.
He doesn't have to go very far: just a few steps to the balcony of his penthouse apartment in a block which also includes neighbours like fellow tennis player Juan Martin Del Potro and Formula 1 driver Pablo Montoya.
Situated on the water's edge in the Brickell area, with views across Miami and out to the Atlantic, a good pair of binoculars is all Murray needs to catch a glimpse of the bottlenose dolphins or manatees, which swim into the Biscayne Bay.
It's a far cry from Dunblane, but more than five years have passed since the Scot established a home from home in South Florida.
"I spend more time here than I did a few years ago, probably about three-and-a-half months of the year," Murray told BBC Scotland.
"Miami's a very laid-back city. You can do whatever you want here.
"They have nice beaches, on South Beach there are lots of shops, a good party life, and there are very good restaurants all over the city."
But it wasn't the shopping, or the nightlife or even the wildlife which attracted him to the 'Magic City'.
"There are good players to practise and train with, and they have great facilities here," Murray continues.
"It's a great place to train and prepare because the conditions are some of the toughest on the Tour as it's extremely hot and humid.
"So when you go and play in Europe afterwards it doesn't feel as bad."
Those training facilities are at Crandon Park where the Miami Masters is being staged, just 15 minutes over a bridge from Casa Murray.
Right now that's a busy place, because the guest list includes his brother Jamie and dad Willie, not to mention Kim his girlfriend and for the first time his two dogs; Rusty and Maggie May.
Mum Judy has already vacated one guest room as she's off up the Florida coast to continue the ground work for the important GB Fed Cup tie in Argentina next month.
That means she may miss seeing her number two son becoming world number two, which would happen if he claims the trophy here for a second time.
But the possibility of overtaking Roger Federer seems to be very much at the back of Murray's mind.
"It's not something I'm thinking about going into my first match against Bernard Tomic," he explained.
"Getting to number two is not a goal of mine. I'd rather focus on winning events than counting ranking points.
"The one thing it does help with is with your seeding for the bigger events, and that's how it would be of benefit to me."
With no Federer or Rafael Nadal at this event, the route to the title and number two has been made that bit less stressful.
And former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash believes Murray can enter the European clay court season as the planet's second best player, behind Novak Djokovic.
"He's got a great chance to get to number two," Cash said.
"Djokovic is clearly the player of the year so far, and it's never easy to win these tournaments - with our without a couple of the best players.
"Andy will want to improve on his form from Indian Wells where he was beaten by Del Potro. But he has the ability to do that.
"These are the biggest events outside the Grand Slams. But he's a big player, he'll like this occasion and I think he's got a great chance to win it."

His advice to them is the same advice his gives Murray: "When it's going good take it and be humble and when it's not going good, accept it as well and just keep training. Stay level-headed either way. Don't get too high or too low."
What good advice - I'm sure of real benefit to Andy

Good to see Andy presently at a creditable Number 13 amongst top 20 tennis legends in the overall category of the Fedex Reliability Index
And also at number 8 on Grass - ahead of both Nadal and Djokovic
Onwards and Upwards!
Wishing him luck tomorrow.

What is the MSIS Program? JPMorganChase presents 'Technology and Cybersecurity in Financial Institutions' 2013 - 2014 McDevitt Information Scholars Mac Cummings, Terakeet CEO and Dan Russell '12 give an overview of Terakeet's business model to Le Moyne students Two McDevitt IS scholars, Karissa Goessl '13 and Patrick Curtin '14, journeyed north to Fairbanks, Alaska as McDevitt IS Scholars in March. Karissa and Patrick served as rapporteurs for the National Academies/ National Research Council Oil Spill Response in the Arctic meeting. Separately from their NAS activities, Karissa and Patrick are pursuing independent research as McDevitt scholars. Karissa, a Business Analytics/Finance major, is investigating the logistics and supply chain issues associated with oil spill response activities in extreme environments such as the Arctic. Patrick, a biology/PreMed major, is studying the impacts of Natural Resource Damage Assessment activities on bird populations in the Arctic. Students hear about cybersecurity from Terakeet's Dan Russell '12, Sales Engineer, Niicole Owens '11, Search Engine Optimization, Web Strategist, Chris Loman, VP of Operations at Terakeet, and Erik Braunitzer '10, Senior Search Engine Optimization, Web Strategist Why Study Information Systems All disciplines are experiencing growth in computer use, and students who enrich their knowledge of information systems (IS) have a distinct professional advantage. The information systems program is designed to serve students with educational and career interests in information systems, as well as those students who have other career and educational interests and who desire knowledge of information systems. Where Can Studying Information Systems Take Me? The IS curriculum uses formal links and cross listings to integrate knowledge across the College, using information systems as the technological glue. As a result, IS courses are linked to other courses and departments within and outside the School of Business, and to courses outside Le Moyne College, notably to courses at Syracuse University through the new 4+1 B.S./M.S. information systems program, whereby Le Moyne IS students can obtain an accelerated Master of Science in information management from Syracuse University. Le Moyne students may also complete a 6-9 month corporate technology immersion experience through the Global Enterprise Technology program. Finally, industry, academia and government alliances provide key partnership opportunities for Le Moyne College students. The result is that IS courses are linked and cross-listed with a variety of disciplines and across multiple academic institutions; those links include ties to computer science, nursing, health care systems, finance, marketing, sports management, business analytics, and management and leadership. What IS Programs Are Offered? The IS program provides undergraduate and graduate information systems courses for six undergraduate degree programs, one undergraduate minor program, one graduate degree program, and several certificate courses in information systems: B.S., Business Administration, with a major in information systems, B.S., Business Administration, with a major in Management and Leadership/Information Systems, Marketing/Information Systems, Finance/Information Systems, or Business Analytics/Information Systems, B.S., Accounting, with a concentration in Information Systems, Minor in Management Information Systems, Minor in Health Information Systems, Joint IS/Computer Science degree in Software Applications and Systems Development (SASD) 4+1 Dual Bachelor's/Master's Degree program in Information Systems, M.S., Information Systems Global Enterprise Technology (GET) Immersion Experience Internship Program, Graduate Management Information Systems courses for MBA students, and Certificate, non degree-granting programs in Enterprise Systems, Large-Scale Systems, Web-based Technology, Government Systems, Health Information Systems. Each of these programs and degrees provides differing levels of background and experience with information systems. Students with a major other than business administration who are interested in a basic level of familiarity with information systems can pursue an M.I.S. minor as part of their course of study. Interested students are encouraged to discuss these choices with their advisers or the information systems program director to determine which offering best meets their needs. Students majoring in information systems are encouraged to pursue internship opportunities as part of their academic experience. Exceptional students are encouraged to participate in honors study.

Genetic Technologies Owns & controls access to 95% of the DNA of every creature on earth. And they can charge license fees to anyone, anywhere in the world,
The Melbourne-based Genetic Technologies has consistently warned it would sue any company, research institution or university that infringed its patent over DNA.
So far Genetic Technologies has identafied over 5000 groups & companies in breach of its patants.
The Genius of Junk
Dr Malcolm Simons is an internationally recognised Australian immunologist.
He has spent 30 years of his life hunting for new and better ways to diagnose disease. Along the way he has gained a reputation as somewhat of an eccentric. He has been married – and divorced - five times. He has fathered three pairs of children. He's been bankrupt, a classical piano player, and played for Australia in international squash.
Genius of Junk is the story of how Malcolm Simons turned Junk into gold, enflaming one of the greatest controversies of our time - the control and ownership of our genetic material.
It is a story of triumph and tragedy. The triumph of a man flying in the face of conventional scientific thought, facing ridicule for his ideas and living to see those ideas vindicated. The tragedy of seeing his dreams come to fruition as he faces death. For he himself has cancer, Multiple Myeloma. A fatal and incurable cancer, formed in the very Junk DNA he spent 16 years exploring.
This is also a story of genius and character. Malcolm Simons had the genius to realise that the non-coding part of our DNA wasn't in fact the junk DNA that many scientists had labelled it, but vital to the processes of life. And he has a character that fits the cliché of the eccentric scientist - brilliant at his work but hopeless with everyday life.
As he faces the greatest battle of all, Malcolm Simons takes us on a unique personal and scientific journey, to the heart of the things that matter to the very core of life - and death.
Fifty years after Crick and Watson's historic discovery of DNA, the scientific community has come a long way towards unravelling the mysteries of the key to life. The Human Genome Project has mapped our entire genetic code; we are genetically modifying plants and animals, finding genetic cures for diseases. There is no doubt that our investigation of what was called the coding region of DNA has revolutionized science and the world. But the coding part of DNA makes up less than 5% of our entire genome. Because the rest of our DNA didn't seem to have any known function it was dubbed non-coding, or Junk DNA.
Malcolm Simons couldn't believe that evolution would be so wasteful. In 1987, despite having no formal training in genetics, he had a moment of remarkable insight that convinced him that Junk DNA was serving a vital function; it provided markers that indicated susceptibility to disease. At a Workshop in the United States, he saw patterns emerge from the non-coding DNA. He realised that whatever was going on in non-coding DNA was not random. Malcolm Simons, "There was order in the 95%. If there was order there was likely to be function. Maybe this was a way to also contribute to understanding the function of genes and therefore their malfunction in disease and in so doing help diagnosis - make earlier diagnosis - help save lives." When he posed his radical theory that this junk might actually have a critical role in diagnosis, his peers announced, "Malcolm, you're off your friggin' head."
Undeterred, Malcolm set out to prove that this was no junk. The majority of geneticists were focused on coding DNA, the non-coding region was left field and probably irrelevant - but for Malcolm it became the main game. Fortunately one man believed in his genius - entrepreneur Mervyn Jacobson. In a real-life Odd Couple pairing (Mervyn is as organised and efficient as Malcolm is eccentric and chaotic) they formed Genetic Technologies in 1989. They believed that this non-coding DNA could prove valuable in diagnosing disease, perhaps in developing therapies, even cures.
There were others around the world exploring similar ideas, but Malcolm Simons took the crucial, unprecedented step - in the mid 1990s he patented the use of the so called Junk. It was an act of extraordinary and provocative foresight.
Today, $20 million of investment later, that foresight is paying off literally. Researchers the world over are confirming that non-coding DNA holds critical clues to a vast range of diseases; breast cancer, HIV, Crohns disease, Alzheimer's, heart disease, ovarian and skin cancer… the list is growing daily. A leading figure in world genetics, Prof. John Mattick, recently claimed that, "the failure to recognise the implications of the non-coding DNA will go down as the biggest mistake in the history of molecular biology". In the last year Genetic Technologies has signed a series of licensing deals allowing companies to use their Junk DNA patents. This is bringing in millions of dollars for the company and the profits look like they will continue to roll in. The junkyard it seems, is a goldfield.
And suddenly, the implications of the patents are staggering. Genetic Technologies controls access to 95% of DNA of every creature on earth. And they can charge license fees to anyone, anywhere in the world, working in the non-coding regions. The critics of DNA patenting are outraged. But for Malcolm Simons the vindication and controversy is somewhat meaningless. He resigned from Genetic Technologies in 2000. He no longer has any shares in the company he once co-owned, he's broke and he's grappling with the realities of final stage cancer.
Narration: DNA. Within its exquisite structure lie the clues to our destiny… how we are formed… how we will live… and how we may die. Yet vast tracts of DNA code were dismissed by science as meaningless 'JUNK'.
But an Australian scientist saw order in this sea of chaos. He saw ways to use 'Junk' to diagnose disease and save lives. Controversially, he laid claim to the 'Junk', patenting the use of 95% percent of the DNA of all species on earth.
Yet just as his billion dollar vision is being realised Malcolm Simons's life hangs in the balance.
Ann Abrahmsen: Living with Malcolm was like living on the edge of a whirlwind…
Mervyn Jacobson: He doesn't fit the normal mould. He is definitely not a grey man in a grey suit.
Dr Malcolm Simons: I see things in black and white. I'm correctly regarded, correctly described as a maverick, pigheaded, obstinate. My experience is that everything that I've been told is absolute… written in law and certain - just isn't so. Under certain circumstances, light doesn't even travel in straight lines
Narration: Malcolm Simons is an immunologist. He has spent 30 years of his life hunting for new and better ways to diagnose disease. Along the way he has gained a reputation as somewhat of an eccentric. He has been married - and divorced - 5 times. He has fathered 3 pairs of children. He's been bankrupt, a classical piano player, and an Australian squash champion.
After years of walking an unconventional path, today Malcolm's professional and personal worlds are colliding. Malcolm the immunologist, has cancer. Multiple Myeloma – a disease of the immune system.
Today, he is undergoing a series of tests that will help him decide how best to proceed… His options are bone marrow transplant and heavy dose chemotherapy – or letting the disease take its course.
Dr Malcolm Simons: It's a fatal disease, there's no known cure. So it's about how long you don't die. My prognosis is that the disease will kill me unless I stay alive long enough for there to be better therapies, up to and including a cure.
Narration: The hope for such therapies - even cures - could well lie in the research that Malcolm himself pioneered research into the very core of life – DNA. For woven into these delicate strands are the genes that control everything from physique to intelligence, depression to longevity. These complex threads of information also contain the defects, the mutations, that can trigger disease.
Science of genetics is the quest to understand this code of life and death. Fifty years after Watson and Cricks' historic discovery of the structure of DNA, scientists have mapped our entire genetic code. They discovered an extraordinary matrix of four molecules - represented by the letters A, T, C and G - repeated more than three billion times.
Within this matrix they explored the genes, the powerhouses of the genome… And within each gene they identified the specific sections, which they called the "coding regions" - packed with instructions for building proteins the building blocks of life.
Prof John Mattick: The primary output of the genome is to create protein. Proteins of course are the primary components of our system. They form the structural components of our hair and skin, our oxygen carrying molecules in our blood, the hormones – enzymes that digest our food and our energy metabolism. So they're critically important
Narration: The "coding regions" became the major focus of genetic research… Even though they account for less than 5% of our entire DNA. All the rest - the other 95% - was assumed to be genetic gibberish with no known function. So they called it 'non-coding' or 'Junk' DNA.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: The word junk was applied and it stuck and people who came along thereafter saw that it was junk and took that as a message that there was no point looking in that area. So it became almost a convenience that instead of looking at 100% of a DNA you only need to worry about looking at 5%. But even that was daunting.
Prof John Mattick: What people should've done was take stock at that point. Instead they simply swept the observation under the intellectual carpet.
Narration: For decades this thinking dominated mainstream genetics. But Malcolm Simons couldn't believe that evolution would be so wasteful. He believed that non-coding DNA must serve some sort of function.
Dr Malcolm Simons: Under Darwinistic notions you would think that junk would drop off under the theory of natural selection just like species drop off if they hit ecological niches which is incompatible with survival. If they can adapt to those niches, then those that can survive and those that can't die. There's the notion. If you apply that to the DNA sequence, then the coding region genes which survived have a function and by the way the non coding sequences have survived as well. So the proposition would have to be that if they're there, they've got a function.
Narration: It was 1987 when Malcolm first glimpsed the potential of this 'Junk' DNA – it was a moment of insight that would change the course of his life. Malcolm was researching genes of the immune system called HLA; Human Leukocyte Antigens. He was attending a Workshop in the United States, where over 70 laboratories compiled genetic data from hundreds of individuals.
For a brief moment in history there was an extraordinary amount of information on both coding and non-coding regions. Malcolm was not a geneticist, but he sensed this data was important. Fearing this wealth of information might be buried, lost forever he felt driven to make sense of it.
Dr Malcolm Simons: This was likely to be the only time in the world's history that this amount of data, which was providing potentially so much first time information about DNA genetics and HLA Region, was ever going to be seen.
Narration: So began many months of obsessive research. He flew back and forth across the States, nagged those with knowledge for assistance, learnt as much as he could as fast as he could.
Dr Malcolm Simons: I slept on the floor , I was there all the time taking up 10s to 100s of hours basically moving columns and rows and when you move columns and rows the jigsaw puzzle started to develop systematic blocks of information. At that stage I didn't fully understand the significance of it.
Narration: Then came the moment of insight it dawned on him - there were patterns in amongst the chaos of code and they were being created in the non-coding region. In the so-called 'Junk'.
Dr Malcolm Simons: Junk bespoke chaos – junk indicated or implied that whatever anybody found out there in the other 95% - when they got around to looking at it - it would be chaotic, that is the sequence variations would be random. So the significance of the observation was that could not possibly be the case… that notion could be rejected and if that notion could be rejected then the question is - what is it telling you?
Narration: Our understanding of coding DNA - a mere 5% of the genome - had already transformed medicine, allowing scientists to predict, diagnose, even cure disease. But what was the potential of the other 95%? Malcolm believed this so called 'Junk' provided markers that indicated if genetic abnormalities were present. It could provide an important, new way of diagnosing disease.
Dr Malcolm Simons: What I showed was that there was order in the 95%. If there was order there was likely to be function. Maybe this was a way to also contribute to understanding the function of genes and therefore their malfunction in disease and in so doing help diagnosis – make earlier diagnosis – help save lives.
Narration: Malcolm was defying decades of scientific dogma. But – as an ex-champion squash player – he was used to a bit of opposition.
Dr Malcolm Simons: When I showed the professional geneticists the data, which indicated to me that the 95% non-coding region wasn't junk, and was ordered…The reaction was smiling disbelief at best – you're off your friggin' head and if you're any good at squash – stick to your day job.
Narration: This thinking outside the square was the hallmark of Malcolm's life in more ways than one.
Ann Abrahmsen: Mal's got an amazing free ranging brain that just loves everything, but the rest of us are not living there. It's a wonderful place to visit. I used to love to romp with him to the fields of the fields of possibility. It was great fun, but you have to live somewhere else and he wasn't concentrating on the people who were here or we weren't in focus.
Narration: Anne is the most recent of Malcolm's five ex-wives, and the mother of the youngest of his six children. He's never been short of love, but success in his personal life has been as hard to achieve as success in his intellectual one.
Dr Malcolm Simons: In the past what some people call BC (before cancer) this person was of limitless energy – zoom mode and my mother used to describe it as like trying to catch hold of the tail end of a comet.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: Malcolm is irrepressible, challenging and that's how he is, you have to take the good with the bad. (smiles)
Narration: One man was prepared to take Malcolm on – entrepreneur Dr Mervyn Jacobson. In 1989 they set up a company, Genetic Technologies, to test Malcolm's theory that junk wasn't junk.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: I was intrigued. I saw it had obviously commercial potential. It was going to be a hard grind – multi year process, very expensive, but if we were successful this would be truly revolutionary - I wanted to be part of it.
Narration: They set up a diagnostic laboratory … with what was then a novel strategy… Using non-coding DNA they believed they could invent new approaches to diagnostic testing.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: Some people look in the coding - in other words they utilize 5% of what's there – we utilize the 5% and the other 95%. Originally it was thought all those abnormalities had to be in the coding region. It's now known that many of those abnormalities are in the non-coding region. So you have to look in both regions and in many cases, the coding region is intact – perfect – pristine and the only abnormality is in the non-coding region.
Narration: There were others around the world exploring similar ideas. But Malcolm took the crucial, unprecedented step - he turned 'Junk' into gold. In the mid 1990's - in an extraordinary act of foresight - he successfully patented the use of non-coding DNA in every creature on earth. For the company it would prove a profitable – and provocative – step.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: The patent process is more than 400 years old. It's implemented by governments. It's government law. They set the rules and it's the government who issue the patents.
Dr Malcolm Simons: I so to speak captured the 95 percent that wasn't coding. So that these inventions cover that 95 percent and according to those for whom patentable positions is not palatable, particularly the Europeans who have more difficulty accepting these processes than the North American's, we have it for all DNA in all species.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: We took the risk. We could have in fact failed. It could have been that Malcolm's original ideas were wrong. It could have been they were right and non patentable. It could have been they were right and patentable, but someone else beat us to it.
Narration: Today, 13 years and almost 20 million dollars later, that risk is paying off – big time. Researchers the world over are confirming that non-coding DNA holds critical clues to a vast range of diseases. And suddenly, the implications of the patents are staggering - if you want to use non-coding DNA to test for diseases like breast cancer or AIDS, Genetic Technologies could demand a license fee.
It is bringing in millions of dollars for the company. Some suggest it's worth billions. The Junkyard, it seems, is a goldmine.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: It's not true that we own the non coding DNA. We don't own any DNA. Everybody owns their own DNA – every human and every animal and every plant if you like. What we did is we applied human intelligence to a process that enabled scientists to do things they could not do before and that intelligent approach we developed is what's patentable.
Narration: Over the past year Genetic Technologies has targeted international biotech and pharmaceutical companies, perceived to be infringing their patents. And now, universities and research labs may have to pay to use Junk DNA.
Dr Graeme Suthers: These patents essentially have a potential to freeze research at a particular point because they put the control of those genes out of the public domain and keep it private. It means then that the patent holder can control who does what research on their particular gene
Narration: Mervyn Jacobsen argues that patents encourage scientific research… without a financial incentive investors would stay away in droves.
Dr Mervyn Jacobson: And patents have a very limited lifespan and then it's gone. It's a brief moment in time when you're allowed to commercialise your invention and then it's gone. It reverts to public ownership. Of course the invention is there forever for the benefit of mankind,
Prof John Mattick: Now that Genetic Technologies has started to attempt to enforce the patent – aggressively - across a range of organizations, I think that people are starting to realize the impact – potential impact of this and in a sense are starting to band together to try to find the resources that would be necessary to challenge the patent in court.
Narration: With billions of dollars potentially at stake, the battle over who can - and who cannot – have access to the non-coding regions is intensifying. Some scientists like Prof John Mattick, have a vested interest. He's researching the actual function of non-coding DNA, taking Malcolm's conviction that junk isn't junk to new levels.
John Maddick: The failure to recognize the implications of the non-coding DNA will go down I think as the biggest mistake in the history of molecular biology.
Narration: John believes that far from being 'Junk' the non-coding regions form an intricate, multilayered, operating system co-ordinating the function of all the components of the genome. The non-coding regions may in fact DRIVE the coding regions telling them what proteins to create. The importance indeed the 'genius' of so-called 'junk' may be its ability to organise and arrange the very building blocks of life.
Prof John Mattick: I think the future of molecular biology is going to be non-coding DNA. In the next 5-10 years I predict that we will have to find what all the components do – first approximation and then of course the much bigger question is how you put it together. How do you build a human? How do you build a tree? Why are you and I different from each other but the same components? So the main game is going to be non-coding DNA – not because it's non-coding but because it actually is coding. It's coding for the information that puts you and me together.
Narration: Sixteen years after Malcolm's original insight, 'junk' DNA is now revolutionizing our understanding of genetics.

TENNI8 TEAMS MAINLY COMPOSED OF OLD FAVOURITES Freshmen Leave Tournament Unfinished The ranking of several of last year's players has changed, but with few excep- tions the same people are playing for the three upper classes. The matches are to be played off this week in first and sec- ond team singles. 1917�First: M. Thompson, M. Willard. C. Stevens; second: R. Levy, T. Smith, C. Wilcox; subs: E. Holcomb. M. Wll- lett, M. Scattergood. 1918�First: M. Stair. L. Richardson. V. Kneeland; second: E. Atherton, K. Sharpless, E. Babbitt; subs: A. Shaffer, A. Gest. M. Strauss. 1919�First: A. Thorndyke. R. Chad- bourne. M. Peacock; second: E. Biddle. M. Tyler, A. Stiles; subs: F. Branson, G. Hearne. E. Cams. 1920�First: II. 8. Carey, Z. Boynton, K. Cauldwell; second: P. Chase. M. M. Carey. M. Hutchins; subs: N. Offutt, E. Brace, F. Bonsoll. The final match in the Freshmen tennis tournament between Z. Boynton and K. t'anldwell has never been played off be- cause it was considered that Z. Boynton woald so certainly be winner; conse- quently 1920"a team has been picked more from matches arranged by M S. Carey, their tennis representative, than from the resmlts of the tournament SENIORS TAKE-OFF QUARANTINE Photo Drama-Freshman Stunt 1917's amusing skit on quarantine regu- lations and a spirited Freshman stunt were the features of the Senior reception on Saturday night. 1917's performance opened with a screen-song addressed to the "pretty babies" of the audience. The first act, a take-off on' registration under quarantine, showed Freshmen going through "hot air", "hot oil", "microscope", and "cold showers" and reappearing with the yel- low ticket "purged". The Freshmen, es- pecially those impersonated by C. Hall in brilliant orange, and E. Seelye in yellow and purple, were recognized at once. Their methods of smuggling merchandise from the Pike, with the aid of '20's nu- merous M. Carey's, were the features of (he second act. Pianist Wins Applause "Love Lights, or Light Loves in a Lone Lighthouse", the Freshman moving pic- ture, was the hit of the evening. Ger- aldine Hess '2ii, although she confided to the audience that it was "no woman's job", produced crashes, bell buoys and raging storms from the quivering piano, with the blase skill of the professional. The manoeuvres of villain, hero, and heroine on the spiral staircase leading to the light were the centre of amusement in the heart-stirring stunt. After the general dancing which fol- lowed the Freshmen sang their class song for the first time. "It was really remark- able", said the choir leader, in speaking to a "News" reporter, "with what con- certed smoothness and expression the ("lass of 1920 sang, when one recalls that they have been a class for less than a fortnight". Freshman Class Song Triumphantly we stand pledging thee Our deepest faith, Bryn Mawr, Knowing thy lights ever our emblems are. We would thy truth uphold, Bound by one great Ideal� To serve thee, uphold thee and true worth reveal. Hail, Bryn Mawr we sing, To thee our gifts we bring. Of thy fine nobleness we would a part possess. Knowing that thou dost Joyously give. We would thy truth uphold, Fired by thy spirit's splendor� Take thou our offering of loyalty untold. E. Brace. Music: "Morning Praise", from Gluck's "Orpheus and Eurydlce". Freshman Cheer: Canendl. Laudandl, et nobis amandi, Bryn Mawr et viginti.

Six Reels Raise Roars An improvised movie rehearsal in six reels entitled "The Devil's Revenge or the Price 8he Paid", was the Junior Com- mittee's first contribution this year to the Endowment Fund. By making "one night stands" the 1918 company visited every Hall last Friday evening and cleared about $26. "The Devil's Revenge" depended on old-fashioned melodrama and a would-be modern director, for "laughs". E. Houghton, the "wizard king of the Soap- stone Film Co.". as camera man and di- rector, kept up a steady flow of com- ments. 8. Belleville, the Ingenue heroine, and R. Hart, the wayward hero, were plotted against by P. Turle and J. Rldlon. vam- pire and villain, but the winsome movie child. F. Buffum. saved the day In the sixth reel and the happy home was re- stored. The scenario was written by P. Turle. the new mesa bar of the Junior Endow �eat Pud Committee. I.Ike Ivory soap 1920 has ninety nine members, if not out of one hundred, at least out of one hundred and five, pure A, according to the authorized "Sports List'- of the Athletic Association. Two have not had a medical examination, three non- residents have not arrived, and there is one poor, pitiable c. Out of one hundred and five, however, only fifty have been authorized as yet. They will have to hurry to catch up with 1919, who have ninety authorized swim- mers, while 1918 has sixty and 1917 sixty- eight. NEW HOCKEY PLANS 11 to Practice on Each Team�Students to Coach According to the new system worked out for hockey practices, only eleven players will report for practise on each team. This will accustom the same play- ers to working together, and will prevent the usual change of line-up Just before the match games on account of players dropped by the team above. The captains are not to hunt up subs; in case anyone cannot play she Is responsible for secur- ing the person on the team below her who plays the same position. 1918 has voted a fine of 25 cents for falling to get subs and 10 cents for lateness. This does not mean, the captains say, that the teams are picked already. If any player, In practice on her own team or in subing, is better than the person In her position on the team above she will be moved up. Good coaching for third teams has also been arranged for. The plan of the Ath- letic Board is to have three hockey play- ers, a Sophomore, a Junior, and a Senior coach the third teams, each for one period three times a week. N. McFaden 17 and T. Howell 18 have been appointed. The fourth, fifth and sixth teams will practise from 3 30 to 4.15. Graduate practices are from twelve to one on Monday. Wednesday and Friday.

Excuse me? Post what you want us to say to Harold Camping on May 22nd...
Excuse me? Post what you want us to say to Harold Camping on May 22nd...
I saw his "commercial" on youtube. "ugh"
Harold Camping, why are you still here if judgment day has passed? And I say we put up thousands of billboards for his followers to see on the 22nd.
Where's judgment again and I say we put the "fail, fail, fail......" photo in the other thread on those billboards. All over the country!!!
Is that too human of me?
Psalm 30:11-12 (New King James Version)
11 You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness,
12 To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent.
O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever.
Pre-Flood!Thanks for the citizen title Hoot!
Ask him, when's the *next* non-rapture going to be?
I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come upon the whole world to test those who live on the earth. (Rev. 3:8,10)
I'm a Navy mom.
We are organizing a picket of Family Radio in southern California at their headquarters...stay tuned!
Harold you know just because you stayed at a Holiday Inn, doesn't make you a prophet right?
Or hey Harold have you been asked to do a "want to get away?" commercial??
Romans 13:11 This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. 12 The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here.

On the other hand, nice page and the inclusion of Dr. Doofenshmirtz really sparked my interest. I loved Phineas and Ferb and think that it's probably the best thing that happened to Disney Channel with all the other terrible series. Fox Kids, if anyone remembers, was one of the best things that happened to my childhood but Disney just doesn't cut it
Fox Kids was way better than what's airing currently (just like the old Nickelodeon since now they almost don't air cartoons). I personally don't really like Phineas and Ferb since it's getting really annoying. But there are other series from Disney that I also like, for example: American Dragon, Kim Possible and Lilo & Stitch.

As a French Quarter resident, tourists stopped making an impression years ago. However, as I walked through today's Sugar Bowl crowd, I got surprisingly nostalgic about the University of Hawaii fans from the 2007 Sugar Bowl. Sentimental even. Like missing an old friend.
