The Warning Signs of Skin Cancer
Skin cancers -- including melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma -- often start as changes to your skin. They can be new growths or precancerous lesions -- changes that are not cancer but could become cancer over time. An estimated 40% to 50% of fair-skinned people who live to be 65 will develop at least one skin cancer. Learn to spot the early warning signs. Skin cancer can be cured if it's found and treated early.
Actinic Keratosis (Solar Keratosis)
These small, scaly patches are caused by too much sun, and commonly occur on the head, neck, or hands, but can be found elsewhere. They can be an early warning sign of skin cancer, but it's hard to tell whether a particular patch will continue to change over time and become cancerous. Most do not, but doctors recommend early treatment to prevent the development of squamous cell skin cancer. Fair-skinned, blond, or red-haired people with blue or green eyes are most at risk.
Actinic Cheilitis (Farmer's Lip)
Related to actinic keratosis, actinic cheilitis is a precancerous condition that usually appears on the lower lips. Scaly patches or persistent roughness of the lips may be present. Less common symptoms include swelling of the lip, loss of the sharp border between the lip and skin, and prominent lip lines. Actinic cheilitis may evolve into invasive squamous cell carcinoma if not treated.
Cutaneous Horns
The cutaneous horn appears as a funnel-shaped growth that extends from a red base on the skin. It is composed of compacted keratin (the same protein in nails). It is a specialized type of actininc keratosis. The size and shape of the growth can vary considerably, but most are a few millimeters in length. Squamous cell carcinoma can be found at the base. It usually occurs in fair-skinned elderly adults with a history of significant sun exposure.
When Is a Mole a Problem?
A mole (nevus) is a benign growth of melanocytes, cells that gives skin its color. Although very few moles become cancer, abnormal or atypical moles can develop into melanoma over time. "Normal" moles can appear flat or raised or may begin flat and become raised over time. The surface is typically smooth. Moles that may have changed into skin cancer are often irregularly shaped, contain many colors, and are larger than the size of a pencil eraser. Most moles develop in youth or young adulthood. It's unusual to acquire a mole in the adult years.
Dysplastic Nevi (Atypical Moles)
Atypical moles are not cancer, but they can become cancer. They can be found in sun-exposed or sun-protected areas of the body. Atypical moles may be larger (one-quarter inch across or larger) and more irregular in shape, with notched or fading borders. They may be flat or raised or the surface smooth or rough. They are typically of mixed color, including pink, red, tan, and brown.
Know Your ABCDEs
Most moles on a person's body look similar to one another. A mole or freckle that looks different from the others or that has any characteristics of the ABCDEs of melanoma should be checked by a dermatologist. It could be cancerous. The ABCDEs are important characteristics to consider when examining your moles or other skin growths, so learn them in the slides to come.
Know Your ABCDEs: 'A' is for Asymmetry
Asymmetry means one half of a mole does not match the other half. Normal moles are symmetrical. When checking your moles or freckles, draw an imaginary line through the middle and compare the two halves. If they do not look the same on both sides, have it checked by a dermatologist.
Know Your ABCDEs: 'E' is for Evolving
A mole that is evolving – shrinking, growing larger, changing color, begins to itch or bleed – should be checked. If a portion of the mole appears newly elevated, or raised from the skin, have it looked at by a doctor. Melanoma lesions often grow in size or change in height rapidly.
Tips for Screening Moles for Cancer
Examine your skin on a regular basis. A common location for melanoma in men is on the back, and in women, the lower leg. But check your entire body for moles or suspicious spots once a month. Start at your head and work your way down. Check the "hidden" areas: between fingers and toes, the groin, soles of the feet, the backs of the knees. Check your scalp and neck for moles. Use a handheld mirror or ask a family member to help you look at these areas. Be especially suspicious of a new mole. Take a photo of moles and date it to help you monitor them for change. Pay special attention to moles if you're a teen, pregnant, or going through menopause, times when your hormones may be surging.
How Are Moles Evaluated?
If you find a mole or spot that has any ABCDE's of melanoma -- or one that's tender, itching, oozing, scaly, doesn't heal or has redness or swelling beyond the mole -- see a doctor. Your doctor may want to remove a tissue sample from the mole and biopsy it. If found to be cancerous, the entire mole and a rim of normal skin around it will be removed and the wound stitched closed. Additional treatment may be needed.
A Primer on Skin Cancer
Malignant melanoma, especially in the later stages, is serious and treatment is difficult. Early diagnosis and treatment can increase the survival rate. Nonmelanoma skin cancers include basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma. Both are common and are almost always cured when found early and treated. People who've had skin cancer once are at risk for getting it again; they should get a checkup at least once a year.
Melanoma is not as common as other types of skin cancer, but it's the most serious and potentially deadly. Possible signs of melanoma include a change in the appearance of a mole or pigmented area. Consult a doctor if a mole changes in size, shape, or color, has irregular edges, is more than one color, is asymmetrical, or itches, oozes, or bleeds.
Squamous Cell Carcinoma
This nonmelanoma skin cancer may appear as a firm red nodule, a scaly growth that bleeds or develops a crust, or a sore that doesn't heal. It most often occurs on the nose, forehead, ears, lower lip, hands, and other sun-exposed areas of the body. Squamous cell carcinoma is curable if caught and treated early. If the skin cancer becomes more advanced, treatment will depend on the stage of cancer.
Bowen Disease
Bowen disease is also called squamous cell carcinoma "in situ." It is a type of skin cancer that spreads outward on the surface of the skin. By contrast, "invasive" squamous cell carcinomas can grow inward and spread to the interior of the body. Bowen disease looks like scaly, reddish patches that may be crusted; it may be mistaken for rashes, eczema, fungus, or psoriasis.
Basal Cell Carcinoma
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common and easiest-to-treat skin cancer. Because basal cell carcinoma spreads slowly, it occurs mostly in adults. Basal cell tumors can take on many forms, including a pearly white or waxy bump, often with visible blood vessels, on the ears, neck, or face. Tumors can also appear as a flat, scaly, flesh-colored or brown patch on the back or chest, or more rarely, a white, waxy scar.
Less Common Skin Cancers
Uncommon types of skin cancer include Kaposi's sarcoma, mainly seen in people with weakened immune systems; sebaceous gland carcinoma, an aggressive cancer originating in the oil glands in the skin; and Merkel cell carcinoma, which is usually found on sun-exposed areas on the head, neck, arms, and legs but often spreads to other parts of the body.
Who Gets Skin Cancer, and Why?
Sun exposure is the biggest cause of skin cancer. But it doesn't explain skin cancers that develop on skin not ordinarily exposed to sunlight. Exposure to environmental hazards, radiation treatment, and even heredity may play a role. Although anyone can get skin cancer, the risk is greatest for people who have:
- Fair skin or light-colored eyes
- An abundance of large and irregularly-shaped moles
- A family history of skin cancer
- A history of excessive sun exposure or blistering sunburns
- Lived at high altitudes or with year-round sunshine
- Received radiation treatments
Reduce Your Risk of Skin Cancer
Limit your exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, especially between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., when the sun's rays are strongest. While outdoors, liberally apply a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher (don't forget the lips and ears!), wear a hat and sunglasses, and cover up with clothing. And remember, if you notice changes to your skin such as a new growth, a mole changing appearance, or a sore that won't heal, see a doctor right way.

Eastern and Oriental Orthodox - Fr Gregory - 24-04-2007
Much recent discussion has focussed, either directly or indirectly, on what ?they? (the Eastern or Byzantine Orthodox) say about ?us? (the Oriental Orthodox) and how misunderstood ?we? seem to be.
Perhaps a useful discussion might be undertaken on what assertions are made or questions are asked about the Oriental Orthodox, and what responses might be appropriate (and accurate)? This could even provide the basis for a draft work of explanation.
So: let me begin with some of the questions I have often been asked, and encourage others to offer possible answers:
1. Why don?t the Oriental Orthodox accept the Seven Ecumenical Councils?
2. Which of the Ecumenical and other Councils do the Oriental Orthodox accept, and why?
3. Everyone (!!) says the Oriental Orthodox are Monophysite: is that true? if not, why is it so commonly claimed?
4. Why don?t the Oriental Orthodox accept the Primacy of honour of the Patriarch of Constantinople?
5. Do the Oriental Orthodox accept the validity of the Sacraments of the Eastern Orthodox Churches? Do the Eastern Orthodox Churches accept the validity of the Sacraments of the Oriental Orthodox?
Fr Gregory
- Solly - 24-04-2007
On Question 3 Peter's article on the 6 anathemas of Diocorus seems pretty useful, and an eye-opener to me as a Protestant who, at least nominally, accepts the early credal and conciliar formulations.
eastern and oriental orthodox - kirk yacoub - 26-04-2007
Regarding the questions posed by Fr Gregory, I think that John has given a succint reply to all of them.
Regarding question 5, whether we Oriental Orthodox Christians accept the
Eastern orthodox Sacraments as valid, I would like to reiterate what I have said elsewhere, namely that the Syrian Orthodox Church will commune anyone who has been baptised into an accepted Apostolic Church, which means that the Sacrament of Baptism in Eastern Orthodoxy is definitely accepted. The fact that Oriental Orthodox Christians seek to be communed by Eastern Orthodox Churches in places where no Oriental Orthodox Church is available shows that we accept their Sacraments as valid.
For me the main question is still, why at one level do the Eastern Orthodox accept our Orthodoxy as legitimate, explicitly stating that we are
not Monophysite heretics when, at another level we are refused communion because we are ..... Monophysite heretics?!

Eastern and Oriental - John Charmley - 26-04-2007
Dear Kirk,
I am relieved that you think I represent our situation accurately.
The following document at http://www.scoba.us/resources/documents ... thodox.pdf
tells us much about the EO attitude towards ecumenism. It would seem as though their view essentially amounts to giving us an opportunity to repent and come across to ask to join them.
This is a little sad. I know of no one who has given the topic any serious thought who believes that we are in any sense 'Monophysite'; 'Miaphysite', yes, but I am at a loss to think of any serious OO thinker who has ever argued that Christ's human nature was in some way overshadowed by and inferior to His divine nature.
The talks about unity long ago revealed that there are no substantive Christological differences, but since the continuation of the split has nothing to do with that any more, it seems to have made little difference. The EO see ecclesiology as a way of perpetuating the split; that is a shame, but of course, their prerogative. They do seem to lack a way of articulating authority, which doesn't help; the way some of the Athonite monks insult the EP seems to suggest that the EO will never find a way of reaching a collective decision. Of course, talks should continue - but we should be aware that the EO see them rather differently than we do.
In Christ,

Dear all,
In response to question three I often invoke the oft-repeated maxim: "history is written by the winners." John, being a professional historian, would probably be in a better position to discuss this truism in further length with some concrete examples which demonstrate how such a trusim has mislead the vast majority of the populace in relation to other historical issues.

EO and OO - John Charmley - 12-07-2007
Dear Andrew,
First, welcome here; it is good to have you on this site. For those who have not come across it, Andrew is moderator of the St Mary & St Merkorious Coptic Orthodox Church Forum, based at the Church of that name in Sydney, http://abusefein.org.au/modules/newbb/index.php?cat=1 .
Given their cavalier way with it, it has always surprised me that the EO seem so antagonistic to history; still, if I had rewritten it in such a fashion, I guess I wouldn't want anyone scrutinising too carefully what I'd written either!
I suspect we need to recall the Imperial nature of the Eastern Orthodox Church. Labelling the Church of the East 'Nestorian' when it had not even been invited to Chalcedon or informed of its decisions, is one example of the way in which the imperial dimension mattered; there are some reasons to suppose that 'Ecumenical' is actually meant as a reference to the Roman 'Ecumene', which effectively marginalised those Christians outside the Empire; this was what the Melkites did after Chalcedon; except this time the insult was 'Monophysite'. We see, from the start of the spit, the determination (still there today) to tell others what it was they believed and then to punish them for it; it is the oldest imperial device - the make the outsiders the 'other'.
The fact that the Russian Church was also an imperial Church has meant that the habit was continued. If we wished to be less tolerant than we are, we could point out the absurdity of the Russian Orthodox Church writing about the 'Consensus Patronum' when most of the Fathers have not been translated into Russian, and Greek is not widely read in Russian quarters; so just which Fathers are they talking about? Would these be the Egyptian ones such as Sts. Athanasius and Cyril? The Coptic Fathers were defining and defining the Faith when the Russians were worshipping idols of stone and wood. We are all delighted that they eventually converted to Christianity, but of course, the only model they had was the Byzantine one. Not exposed at all to Oriental Orthodoxy, and knowing nothing of it, they simply took on board the old Byzantine anathemas and translated them into Slavonic.
These may be readings of history which the EO find uncomfortable, and they are certainly ones they would deny; but what they do not see is that their own readings are far from infallible. Only when the EO actually allow others to speak for themselves and abandon their imperial mindset will any real unity with them become possible; after a millennium and a half no one is rushing!
In Christ,
eastern and oriental orthodox - kirk yacoub - 13-07-2007
Dear John,
Hopefully, tomorrow I will post some info about Russian Orthodox Fathers who did know Greek and were ecumenical in the true sense of the term.
I possess a booklet of "aphorisms" taken from the writings of several
Russian Orthodox saints, and it is very clear that there was ( and still is) a very sharp difference between those who looked outward and above the head of Tsarism and those who comfortably conformed.
See you tomorrow!

Knowledge of the Greek Fathers does not,of course, guarantee that someone will become an open-hearted proponent of ecumenism, but there has been a number of Russian Orthodox saints who not only absorbed the words but also the spirit of the Fathers.
St Theophan the Recluse (1815-1894) who translated the Philokalia into Russian, had an open mind and an open heart that were both nourished by a lengthy stay in Jerusalem where he not only studied Greek, Hebrew and Arabic, but also met with Roman Catholic, Lutheran and Oriental Orthodox clergy. Despite fierce opposition in Russia he seriously evaluated Roman Catholic spirituality, reminding his opponents that the 18th century St Paisius Velichkovsky, who spent time on Mt Athos, who translated the Philokalia into Church Slavonic, and who performed the great task of renewing Russian hesychastic spirituality, did not oppose the spirituality of the Roman Church, but rather its dogmatic schematicism.
St Theophan's most powerful opponent, St Ignacy Brianchanninov (1807-1867) was so violently anti-ecumenical that he described St Francis of Assisi and St Teresa of Avila as "western lunatics"! It is interesting to compare their spiritual writings. Both wrote extensively and powerfully, but
whereas St Ignacy is formidably 'upright', it is St Theophan who displays the greater sense of mercy.
St Nil Sorsky(c1443-1508) was so dissatisfied with the laxity of his Russian monastery that he went to Mt Athos, where he was taught the mysteries of the Jesus Prayer and studied such Church Fathers as St Basil
the Great, St Makarios of Egypt, St Isaac the Syrian, and St John Klimakos. He returned to Russia and founded a monastic community dedicated to living the truths he had learned on the Holy Mountain. Despite his deliberate "otherworldliness", he did become involved in important controversies. He opposed western-style monasticism in Russia
which owned not only vast tracts of land, but also enormous numbers of serfs. Monks, he said, should devote themselves to prayer, not the administration of agriculture and finance. he resolutely opposed the common practice of his time of burning heretics at the stake, proclaiming
the need for forgiveness and charity, controversially emphasizing that the
human conscience should be left free to choose.
St Silouan the Athonite (1866-1938) was a Russian peasant who, at the age of 27, went to Mt Athos, where he spent the rest of his life. The essence of his understanding and his teaching was love for one's enemies:
"The soul cannot know peace unless she prays for her enemies..."
"If you pray for your enemies, peace will come to you... whereas,
if you revile your enemies, it means there is an evil
spirit dwelling inside you..."
So, three Russian Orthodox saints (and there are many more) who espoused open-hearted spiritual enquiry, forgiveness and charity, and the absolute need to love one's enemies. Of such is the ecumenical spirit.
Unfortunately the dictates of the world, the demands of patriotism (that old, old lie, to paraphrase Wilfred Owen) which require eulogies for one particular state power, have decieved many with chimerical notions of theocracy. "The power of the monarchy resides in faith in God, and the strength of the state resides in faith and devotion to one's own rulers,"
wrote St Philaret of Moscow (1782-1867). And: "Only an earthly empire united with God's Kingdom can be strong and truly happy." Here the differences between this world and the next, so clearly defined by the great spiritual Fathers, have been blurred, resulting in a eulogy of an illusory "Orthodox state". Such distortions have led to Churches not only supporting, but also advocating so-called 'civilising', 'crusading' wars.
However, "many are they who reign and rule over peoples, yet who are themselves slaves to sin and prisoners of their own passions," wrote
St Tikhon Zadonsky(1724-1783), another Russian who opened his heart to experience western spirituality. And while puncturing myths about earthly rulers, St Tikhon also continued to advocate obedience, not because the powers of this world can be trusted, but because obedience is an essential part of obtaining humility, of removing ourselves from the vain contentions of this world, enabling us to concentrate more clearly on
the King who is "not of this world."
The Church in Russia has, alas, never been able to free itself from the acute tensions between the so-called 'westernizers' and the 'asiatics', the
consequence of which has often been civil war. Yet God's powerful implements of peace, the examples of such saints as Theophan the Recluse, Nil Sorsky, Silouan the Athonite, and Tikhon Zadonsky, are great sources of light with which to illuminate the heart of the Russian Church.
Through their example and through their prayers they summon the faithful of Russia to the Body of Christ, where they become neither
'westerner' nor 'asiatic', but joyful citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Kirk Yacoub.
Saints - John Charmley - 14-07-2007
Dear Kirk,
Thank you for these references - it is good to know about such men.
I am sorry if my last few posts have given the impression that I was having an anti-EO fit of pique! It is just that Peter and I have been engaged in a dialogue elsewhere where we are treated by some of the Russian Orthodox as though we were little, if any, better than pagans - and it really had led me to wonder whether this was generally so in Russian circles; so it is good to know of these exceptions.
The contemporary world poses great challenges for the Orthodox Church - and to meet them by pretending they are 'western' phenomena which will not touch the 'Russian' soul is blinding oneself to the lessons which the Spirit can teach in this encounter.
In Christ,
- Fr Gregory - 15-07-2007
I am surprised that anyone would be surprised at intolerance, ignorance and a lack of charity in discussions between members of different churches.
I am more surprised, however, that anyone would bother with such discussions (unless for the sheer enjoyment of some sort of intellectual debating exercise) unless the participants were adequately educated in their respective theologies. The ?blind? debating the ?blind? may constitute an amusing spectacle, but it is rarely edifying or productive.
My limited experience of a range of ?let?s have a theological fight? chat sites does not inspire me to read further, let alone to take part.
Such inter-church discussions as I have experienced (for example, with the ROCOR Archbishop in Sydney, or at the ?Orientale Lumen? conference in Sydney) have been entirely polite, scholarly and Christian. Even my discussions with the Old Rite Russians (a group all too unlikely to be labelled educated or open!) have been thoroughly enjoyable and educational.
There is a basic principle in Conflict Resolution (reverting to my professional field!): dialogue. Dialogue has a very specialized meaning when used in this way?.I could, but won?t, ramble on about it endlessly! It is not about agreement, approval, acceptance, etc.: it is a process seeking mutual understanding, including understanding of essential and irreconcilable differences if these exist. This is not (uncanonical) ?Inter-Faith Worship? or (largely meaningless) ?Mutual Statements? ? but about a desire to understand the other, and to be understood.
We need to be careful about assuming or implying that the Oriental Orthodox are all rational, informed and eager to understand while the Eastern Orthodox are all narrow minded, illiterate bigots! There are Oriental Orthodox websites and publications (including those produced by the Copts) that peddle pseudo-theological nonsense (and heresy) and attack others (including the Eastern Orthodox) with nastiness and misinformation.
Dialogue can only occur in a spirit of genuine openness, willingness to listen and preparedness to acknowledge error. It requires an enthusiasm for asking (genuine) questions, and for offering (genuine) explanations, rather than for scoring debating points or ?proving? the other wrong.
If someone does not wish to engage in dialogue with me, so be it. We can either engage in another form of communication (debating or argument, for example) or we can go our separate ways.
I do not consider ecumenism a ?dirty word?, but I do consider much of what passes for ecumenism to be meaningless, uncanonical or fraudulent ? or, in some cases, all three!
Preoccupation with being accepted as ?genuine? (as in wanting them to agree that we are really Orthodox) or ?valid? (as in wanting them to accept that I really am a Priest, or offering me Communion) are distinctly Western concerns (although some Orthodox have become infected by what might be called ?Westernism?). Many Anglican churches will, for example, excitedly ?recognize? any passing Orthodox and hand out Communion to anyone who turns up. What value should be placed on such ?ecumenism?? It is an old Orthodox axiom that ?Intercommunion is the sign of union not the means to achieving it?.
When I attend the Liturgy at the truly magnificent Old Rite Russian Cathedral in Sydney (as I do when Fr Serge Kelleher, editor of the ?Eastern Churches Journal? is in Sydney), we are received with honour, invited to be seated in the choir, and offered the antidoran at the conclusion of the service. Do they accept us (me British Orthodox, him Greek Catholic) as Orthodox? I am sure the official answer, if we ever sought one, would be something like ?not really?. Seeking an official answer would seem to me to be (again) a Western approach. We can be received in the spirit of Orthodoxy, and engage in rich dialogue and fellowship without seeking something like a ?Certificate of Approval?.

Eastern and Oriental - John Charmley - 15-07-2007
Dear Fr. Gregory,
The site being referred to is one which advertises itself as a scholarly one dedicated to Patristics, and our purpose in being there is precisely so
Quote:about a desire to understand the other, and to be understood.The frustration came not from the intolerance, but from the insistence that only one, very partial, reading of Patristic texts was allowable; and yes, I fear that I am partial to a good intellectual argument!
I suspect that at certain levels of interaction things are easier, and the internet certainly brings its own strange dynamic to bear. Dialogue does, indeed, require a willingness to listen to others, and to try to understand what it is they are saying; very often it is more similar to one's own position than the language they are using might lead you to think. The injunction to love one another is, alas, too often ignored.
In Christ,

To the editor:
It's time to start a real dialog regarding firearms.
Is there anyone reading this that did not cry outwardly or inwardly reading and hearing about the incredibly horrific events at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.? I find it hard to even imagine such an evil act perpetrated by this young man, Adam Lanza, in having first graders line up and then shooting each one individually multiple times. It has been determined he used an assault rifle, supposedly an AR-15. He then used one of the two pistols he was carrying to kill himself, his ultimate cowardly act.
He fired approximately 100 rounds. He reloaded his rifle a number of times.
Would this murderous slaughter have taken place with or without the availability to Lanza the assault rifle and Glock and Sig Sauer pistols is an argument we can have with no quick answer. But it is important that we begin a rational discussion about this.
I am very pro-gun if that is an appropriate description. In my younger years I was an avid hunter and target shooter. I shot trap and skeet and even engaged, with some regrets, in the long ago Hegins pigeon shoot. I was a firearms instructor with the Fish and Boat Commission for 15 or so years. I presently own various handguns, shotguns and rifles. I am definitely not an anti-gun nut. But I think we have finally arrived at a point where we must place some limits on the ownership and availability of certain types of firearms.
I was at one time a member of the National Rifle Association. But somewhere in the late 60s or 70s its complexion and direction was radically changed and it became an organization less interested in hunting and responsible gun ownership and use but in promoting the complete and unchallenged ownership in virtually any type of firearm and financially supporting financially a conservative agenda that embraced philosophies completely outside the use and ownership of firearms.
I don't know who specifically hijacked the organization, but many attribute this change to the very large U.S. firearms industry. There is supposedly some 279 million firearms owned by American citizens. This is a very large investment to protect. The NRA argues that it exists to protect the hunters' and citizens' right to have arms as guaranteed by our Constitutional Second Amendment. It is very apparent that this is no longer a priority. I completely believe this, but that said it is irrelevant to this discussion.
Without entering into an argument between the extreme right and left can we not discuss rationally the sale of assault rifles and high capacity magazines? The assault rifles such as the .223-caliber Bushmaster rifle used in the murder of the children and large capacity magazines are devices that have no use at all in the arena of hunting. These are weapons of war designed for killing people. Can we not restrict these weapons? If not, why? I would greatly wish to see clarifying responses to this letter explaining opposition to my position. We must come together and talk. It is imperative that there be rational answers to the questions regarding sale, ownership and possession of specific firearms.
I plead with those reading this letter having positions or thoughts differing from mine write in and express their thoughts.
I think there is little doubt the perpetrator of this slaughter should have been institutionalized. He was known to have psychological issues by those around him, but it was felt he was not a threat. Obviously he was. Why was he not removed from society early on? It is very important this issue must also be discussed.

It's when your fucking a girl from behind when she is on all fours. Then you stick a hot dog in her ass at the same time pulling your penis out of her vagina, then cramming your penis down her throat. She will instinctively gag thus shooting the hot dog out of her ass into the awaiting hot dog bun.
While having sex with my girlfriend I became hungry. Soon she thougt she was being DP'd. To her suprise she was just used as a Ball Park Betty Rump Roaster.

I'm new to the boards & recently a part time resident of Tomahawk.
I have been fishing the Tomahawk area lakes & rivers for over 15 years. When I first started fishing Mohawksin I targeted Smallies & knew that it was good for the recource to release these fish back into the water for others to enjoy.
As time went on I discovered what a fantastic Muskie fishery this area is & ever since spend most of my time fishing for them. I have caught nearing a hundred muskies & 1 that went 50" x 25.5" I figured it went around pounds by how heavy she was. All were released by me & anyone I have fished with.
Since my love for the area continues to grow, I tend to read as many fishing reports as possible. Only to see more often than not anglers keeping trophy sportfish. I cannot understand this at all?
It seems on the surface & from the limited recources I have access to, that the local anglers are more likely to keep a trophy than anyone else. Please don't think I'm bashing the locals! There is not one person I have met in the area I wouldn't invite to my cabin for a BBQ & some beers!
What can be done to educate ALL anglers on the importance of catch & release?
I do not see anything to support this at any of the locat bait shops or better yet at the boat ramps. A simple sign could do wonders.
I know that Aquatic Arts removed the freezer of death & now will only do a replicas. This is the kind of effort that will secure this wonderful fishery for a very long time.
I will put a sign by our dock that says support Catch & Release with a picture of kids fishng. My boys will help make it & at the same time understand why it's important.
Be safe & good luck.

Elle Macpherson married billionaire Jeffrey Soffer in what was described as an "intimate" wedding in Fiji, PEOPLE has confirmed.
"Jeff and Elle eloped a month ago," the source tells PEOPLE, explaining that the groom is very low-key and likes to do things in private. "They wanted to keep it a secret."
The couple's original plan was to marry this fall in Aspen.
"They are very happy and head over heels in love," the source also tells PEOPLE.
The "day wedding" ceremony took place "mid-July" before "about 15 guests" – friends and family – inside a villa at the luxury Laucala Resort in Fiji, a hotel rep told PEOPLE's Australian sister publication, WHO.
The Australian supermodel's two sons, Flynn, 15, and Cy, 10, participated in the ceremony, and while the immediate wedding party holidayed at the resort for a week, their guests arrived at various times before the wedding.
Another source tells PEOPLE that Don Soffer, Jeff's dad, was also at the ceremony.
"This is such a joyful time for Elle and Jeff," a source tells WHO. "They are both thrilled." A family friend adds: "Jeff's really normal and a relaxed kind of person. In that way, actually, he's almost Australian. [The family] think he's great."
Macpherson, 49, who was previously married to photographer Gilles Bensimon, became engaged to the Miami-based real estate developer in March this year.
The pair dated for two years before splitting in March 2012 and then rekindled their romance after Soffer was injured in a 2012 helicopter crash in the Bahamas.
Macpherson's two sons are from her relationship with ex-boyfriend Arpad Busson, and she is currently hosting Britain & Ireland's Next Top Model.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Savings of: $6.99 (28% off)
Posted by Reviewer3117934 on May 22, 2014
This is the only Daily Boost that I've tried so far from MegaFood. The flavor of this one is really delicious! It tastes good added to smoothies or in soups. The turmeric and black pepper flavors come out in savory foods, and the sour taste of the food source Vitamin C is super good in shakes. This blend had everything I was looking for, and the Orange Blend helped to get rid of a sore throat that was coming on.
Good product
Posted by Reviewer1209937 on Oct 09, 2014
I have used this product just for three weeks and already my hips feels so much better, I had difficulties for sleep and go, now the sleep is ok and I can go without big problems. I don't like pain killers, this product has as good effect as paracetamol.
Posted by Reviewer1055106 on May 25, 2015
This is a wonderful,natural full spectrum turmeric powder with other herbs for inflammation. I mix it with my other superfood powders (berries and greens)and juices. Daily Turmeric, zyflamend, black seed oil and sorghum is a great alternative for inflammation. I have axial spondyloarthritis. Because of heart disease and heart failure I can't take the much needed tnf-a blockers. The combination mentioned above is a blessing from nature.
good stuff
Posted by Reviewer1810059 on Feb 23, 2016
It really helps with my knee pain and I don't taste it in my smoothie. I recommend for any joint pain or bracitis.
Great turmeric product
Posted by 5728169306038487717 on Apr 17, 2015
If you are looking to add turmeric to your diet, this is the product for you. Initially, when I received the product I was a little shocked to find how small the jar was. It came with a small scooper, and I soon realized that a little bit goes a long way. It has a strong taste. I generally just add this product to my tea in the morning or to my smoothie.
Perfect for adding to smoothies/juice
Posted by 5352199426811850620 on May 03, 2015
I have tried this product a couple of times, and I think it is perfect to blend in juices and smoothies for an extra boost of nutrition. The taste is really nice. I bought the single sachets to try out at first, and now I have bought the full size Daily turmeric to add to my breakfast green shake.

I love it l give it to my dog in food great for her skin
Has features I like
Posted by 5190756897598879336 on Aug 04, 2016
I have used this product for awhile now and it has all the special ingredients I like the taste when it is blended with another drink.
so far so good
Posted by Reviewer1534268 on Dec 05, 2014
I was taking turmeric capsules but this seemed better because it's powder and far more concentrated. It has a pleasant taste and has caused no side effects that I can discern. This is a 30 day supply which seems reasonable. Started taking turmeric to try and relieve a bit of knee pa in so if it seems to help, which 30 days should indicate, then will order more.
not bad

DELAND, Fla. – Winners of seven in a row and nine of its last 10, the Stetson University softball team will host conference rival Florida Gulf Coast, in a three game set this weekend at Patricia Wilson Field. The Hatters (22-5, 6-2) have not lost since Mar. 15, and during that stretch have outscored their opponents by a blistering 59-18 pace, averaging close to eight and a half runs per contest.
Stetson's hottest bat of late belongs to leftfielder Courtney Brandt, who earned A-Sun Player of the Week honors for her .500, five home run, 14 RBI, performance that lasted four games and put her in second place on the team in long balls (six) and RBI (20).
The Hatters enter the weekend tied for second place in the A-Sun standings with Mercer and just two games off the pace of USC Upstate who holds a 10-2 conference mark before their weekend series with Lipscomb. The last time a Stetson team won seven straight was in Mar. 2013, when the Hatters reeled off nine consecutive wins from the first of the month to the 13th vs. Niagara, Farleigh Dickinson, Valparaiso and Colgate.
When it comes to conference rankings, head coach Frank Griffin's squad is near the top in both hitting and pitching as well as fielding. Stetson is second in in the A-Sun in batting average (.326), ERA (1.83) and fielding percentage (.966). Meredith Owen is tops in the conference in ERA with her miniscule 0.64 average, while freshman Jessie TenBroeck is fourth in the A-Sun in batting at .402.
This weekend will mark the first time both Stetson and FGCU have met in a three game A-Sun series in DeLand since Gulf Coast joined the conference in 2007. The two schools have met a total of 17 times and first played in a three game set last year in Fort Myers. Stetson is 7-1 at home vs. the Eagles all-time.
The Hatters and Eagles renew their rivalry Saturday, Mar. 29, with a doubleheader starting at 1 p.m. at Patricia Wilson Field. The second game will get underway at approximately 3:30 p.m. The third and final game of the series takes place Sunday the 30th also at 1 p.m.
Tickets start at just $5 per day and can be purchased online at www.gohatters.com/tix or at the Patricia Wilson Field box office. Stetson students, faculty, and staff are free with a valid ID. Subscription based live video of the Stetson games will be available on HatterVision. Live stats, the Stetson softball twitter feed, and the Hat-Alerts text messaging system will provide in-game updates as well.

--Sun., Mar. 30 (Gm 3 – 1 p.m.)

--First Meeting: 2008
--Last Meeting: 2013
--Stetson has banged out 70 hits during its last five games, with an average of 14 percontest, the Hatters have reached 16 hits twice during that stretch of time.
--The Hatters have outscored their opponents 43-7 during the last five games, averaging more than eight runs a contest.
--Stetson has not played a seven inning game since Mar. 19 vs. Buffalo, the Hatters last four games have ended in either five or six innings.
--After not hitting a home run in her previous 187 at bats, sophomore Kayla Drury has now hit two in her last eight trips to the plate.
--Stetson has now hit 29 home runs in 27 games, that's an average of 1.07 per contest.

To Any Young Woman Who Imagines Herself Katniss
When you first began to read The Hunger Games, perhaps you weren't quite certain. After all, it isn't many of us that is so precise with a bow and arrow, and none of us (at least for the moment) live in a sort of post-apocolyptic North America where our lives are essentially determined for us. Well, we don't believe we do, at any rate. But as you read on, there was something about her that caught you and held, and you thought to yourself, as I did, I know that girl. Katniss. She's in me, somewhere.
You are right to see yourself in Katniss. It is the hunger of your own soul for its awakening.…

From Len Dawson to Alex Boone and Mario Manningham, 45 of the 47 Super Bowls have included at least one alumni of the Ohio High School Football Coaches Association's North-South Classic.
Super Bowls II and XXXII are the exceptions.
It's impossible to tell who will continue that legacy, but when a collection of the top high school football players in the state meet in Dayton Saturday for the 68th edition of the Classic, three of the area's best will be included in that elite group.
Article Photos
Columbian's Jack Jacoby, Calvert's Jared Thompson and Mohawk's Drew Loose will get the opportunity to strap up the chinstrap one more time and represent their schools, this time in front of a statewide audience.
The nation's oldest and longest-running all-star game will feature a new wrinkle this year, as the Classic will be divided into two games. One game will feature players from Division I, II and III high schools, while the other will feature players from Divisions IV, V and VI.
Jacoby will represent the North in the upper-division game, while Thompson and Loose will compete in the lower.
"I was a little bit in disbelief I guess," Thompson said of the the moment he was informed of his selection. "A small town defensive end getting picked for that game, it's a little hard to grasp."
"I was pretty excited about it and glad I get the chance," Loose added. "I'm very happy. It's a cool experience. I just really enjoy that I have the opportunity to play in the game."
Loose will get plenty of opportunity as one of only two quarterbacks listed on his team's roster. Loose said he will be used more as a running threat.
Erik Baker, Loose's coach at Mohawk, went through a list of all the great backs he's coached in the Mohawk program, but ranked Loose ahead of all of them.
"The last 12 years that I've been coach at Mohawk, he's the most explosive athlete I've coached," Baker said. "His ability in the openfield to extend plays is unparalleled. We've had athletic backs, power backs. We've had some great backs, great quarterbacks and Drew is the best combination of all those skills."
Baker said as far back as he is able to recall, Loose is the first Mohawk player to represent the school in the North-South Classic. It's an honor he says is well deserved.
"For him to be our first representative is fabulous," he said. "For Drew to be able to demonstrate his ability on a stage where there are kids that are going to Notre Dame, Michigan, Michigan State, that level of competition, is a fabulous opportunity. I think he's more than up to the challenge."
It's an opportunity that Loose is looking forward to making the most of.
"It means a lot to me to represent my school and I hope I can play well and represent Mohawk well," he said. "I hope I can go out there and make the school proud."
The rosters are littered with Division I college recruits. Jacoby said it means a lot to be included in such an elite group.
"It was an honor," Jacoby said. "To be able to play in biggest game, with a bunch of great athletes from around the state is such an honor and I'm really looking forward to it."
Jacoby said he's looking to make the most of his final time to put on a Columbian helmet.
"It's definitely a last-hurrah kind of thing," he said. "I just got to focus on playing the game and representing the school well. Show up and play hard for the town and the team."
Jacoby and Thompson will get an added gift as each will play for their high school coaches one last time. Columbian's Brian Colatruglio will be the North's head coach in the I, II and III game while Calvert's Todd Fox will be an assistant in the IV, V and VI game.
"I was pretty shocked," Colatruglio said of his emotions when he was informed of his selection. "I was honored and overwhelmed a little bit being picked. A lot of great high school football coaches in the state of Ohio that have coached in this game and I'm honored to be apart of that."
Jacoby is looking forward to playing with Colatruglio one final time, and also glad he already knows the playbook.
"It's easier for me cause I know all the plays we're running," he said. "It's cool to represent the school with him, and we can show everyone how strong our program is."
Colatruglio said he's glad to gets to share the experience with Jacoby.
"It's a real perk to not only be chosen to coach in the game, but to have one of our players in the game," Colatruglio said. "This being my third year at Columbian, Jack's been a 2-way starter all three of those years and a big reason for our success. It's a great cap to his career at the end of a 4-year career. For his last game to be in a game of this magnitude and to have the chance to coach him one more time is really something special."
Fox echoed those comments when talking about Thompson.
"He's a great individual. No matter what, we were able to count on him to just go out and do his job. You just forgot he was there sometimes, because you knew he was going about his work and getting his job done. He's self-driven, highly motivated. We're fortunate to have him as part of the family."
Fox referred to Thompson as a hard worker that didn't make the highlight reels, but was important to the team's success, and proof you don't have to stuff the stat sheets to get recognition.
"Jared has always been in the shadows of great players," he said. "It shows you don't have to be the one in the spotlight to get recognition."
Another Seneca, Dan Kwiat, also was selected for the game, but won't be able to play due to an injury suffered during wrestling season. Kwiat, though, still is a member of the team and will be with the team for practices and on the sideline during the game.
Thompson said it makes the experience all the more special having his coach and good friend there to share it with.
"It's something special. (Fox), me and Dan we all had a special connection. We'd always joke around with each other. I'm happy that he's one of the coaches. It's kind of relieving I knew someone going in. I'm happy with him being there."
This is the second-straight year Calvert will be represented in the game. Stephen Smith was the North's kicker a year ago.
Thompson said it shows how far the program has come under Fox.
"Coach Fox has done a great job with the program," Thompson said. "A couple years ago the program was in ruins. We were everyone's homecoming game. Now the football team is probably one of the highlights of Calvert."
"It speaks volumes for the hard work all the gentlemen are putting fourth," Fox added. "It also keeps that carrot out there for those coming down the line to be the next ones."
The I, II and III game kicks off 4 p.m. Saturday at Dayton Welcome Stadium with the IV, V and VI game to follow at 7 p.m. Both will be televised live on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel.

With a string of blockbuster Las Vegas gigs under her belt, Celine Dion is a veteran Sin City performer. And now, she has a few words of wisdom for the new kid on The Strip: Britney Spears, who is set to begin a 16-date Vegas residency in December.
"What I wish for her, especially as a mother, is for her to find wonderful people who can help her find a balance between the artist that she is and the mother, and to try and find an emotional balance to cope with those two and be the best of both worlds," Dion tells ET Canada in an interview set to air Tuesday. "I think she can really do it!"
When asked if she had any advice to give, Dion says Spears, 31, is already a pro.
"I don't think she needs any advice from me! She's been there, she's been on stage, she's shook it all out! She's very talented and knows exactly what to do," Dion, 45, notes.
Dion, whose hit show Celine has been a mainstay at Caesars Palace since 2011, is now on her second successful residency in Las Vegas. Her first show, A New Day, had a five-year run that racked up 700 performances and pulled in three million people.
In between residencies, Dion gave birth to twins, and before returning to Las Vegas, she told PEOPLE that balancing show business with family would be a top priority.

BERLIN CENTER - The Western Reserve Blue Devils used a tenacious defense and big plays on offense to take sole possession of the ITCL Lower Tier with a 28-6 win Friday night over visiting Southern Local night.
The Devils win, along with a loss by Columbiana now puts the Devils in first place with two weeks to play in the regular season.
The Devils were led by senior tailback Tim Cooper, who rushed for 148 yards and three touchdowns, and caught five passes for 113 yards and one more TD. He also had an interception on defense.

"This was huge for us, not only because it was senior night, but if we didn't win this game there is a good chance that we're not going to make the playoffs," Cooper said about the importance of the win.
"I can't do it without the line, and a great quarterback in Nick Allison. The line just opened up these huge holes. Dan Zilke played fullback and center Micah Marra just leads. We have got a bunch of great players on this team."
The Devils wasted little time in getting on the scoreboard as they took their opening possession 62-yards on seven plays, and scored on a Cooper 15-yard run. The extra point gave the Devils the early 7-0 lead at the 6:10 mark of the stanza.
The score seemed to wake the Indians up as they
answered quickly.
Reminiscent of last week's performance, Mike McKenzie took the ball around right end, broke a couple tackles and scampered down the field for a 45-yard touchdown. The extra point was blocked, and the Indians trailed by a slim 7-6 margin with 4:57 remaining in the first quarter.
Following an interception in the end zone by the Indians' defense on Reserve's next possession, the Devils came right back on the next possession. This time Cooper would run in from 7-yards out to push their advantage to 14-6 with 9:07 remaining in the second quarter.
Then just before halftime, the Devils may have put the game away. With only 1:27 remaining before intermission, Cooper scored his third rushing touchdown. The 6-yard run came one play after Allison hit Cooper on a long 49-yard pass down to the Indians 6-yard line. The score put the Devils up 21-6.
In the second half, the Devils went to the power running attack to shorten the game.
On their first possession of the second half, the Devils marched 80-yards on 10 plays, culminating in a 34-yard touchdown pass from Allison to Cooper.
The Devils continued to pound the ball throughout the third and fourth quarters, while the Devils defense held the potent Indians' passing game to only 100 yards on the night.
"It was not our night," Indians' head coach Mike Skrinjar said. "We came out and had ups and downs. We had points and opportunities, but that's football man.
"They needed this one to get over the hump. They need to continue to work for it."
"He's a good coach, and he gets his guys to play," Western Reserve head coach Andy Hake said about Coach Skrinjar. "And you know what, they have a heck of a team. They are big and physical, I just think our guys were up for the challenge."
Friday, the Devils (6-2, 5-0) travel to Wellsville (3-8, 1-4), while the Indians (5-3, 3-2) travel to Leetonia (5-3, 3-2).

Tyson Cole's Asparagus Three Ways With Fried Capers
TYSON COLE WANTS to make sure we're eating our asparagus. In his third Slow Food Fast contribution, the Texas-based chef serves it three ways: raw, al dente and in a purée.
The Chef: Tyson Cole
His Restaurants: Uchi and Uchiko in Austin, Texas, and Uchi in Houston.
What He's Known For: Bringing serious Japanese cuisine to Austin's laid-back dining scene; inventive, sculptural dishes that are as beautiful as they are delicious.
Mr. Cole's devotion to the vegetable reflects the zeal of the convert. "When I was growing up, I didn't like asparagus," he said. "What I had at the cafeteria or at my house—they cooked the heck out of it. No one handed me a great piece of asparagus and said, 'Here, try this.' " Imagine if the young Mr. Cole had instead encountered this dish of white-asparagus purée enriched with grapeseed oil and topped with barely cooked asparagus tips as well as shavings of raw asparagus. The buttery hollandaise-like sauce and salty fried capers would surely have conquered any lingering qualms.
"You are basically eating only one thing here, but the dish is complex anyway, with lots of flavors and textures," Mr. Cole said. Nailing the silky consistency of the purée is particularly important. "With white asparagus, even when you get good ones, the bottom half is too fibrous," the chef noted. To get at the good stuff, trim the woody base of the stalks. Then, beginning just below the tip, use a vegetable peeler to remove the tough, stringy exterior layer.
What remains cooks down to creamy softness—the perfect yin to the raw asparagus's snappy yang. After all those early, overcooked spears, Mr. Cole is more than making up for lost time.

Asparagus Three Ways With Fried Capers
Total Time: 35 minutes Serves: 4
5 egg yolks
Juice of ½ lemon
2 bunches white asparagus, ends trimmed, stalks peeled and tips separated
¼ cup grapeseed oil
2 bunches green asparagus, ends trimmed and tips separated from stalks
2 cups canola oil, for frying
½ cup capers, strained and dried
Chervil, for garnish (optional)
More From Tyson Cole
- Romanesco With Seared Broccolini, Lemon Curd and Quinoa
- Branzino With Herb, Tomatoes and Thai Chilies
Plus, Recipes From:
What To Do
1. Find a metal bowl that fits over a pot to make a double boiler. Fill pot three-fourths of the way with salted water and bring to a boil over high heat. In bowl, off heat, whisk yolks. Place bowl on top of simmering pot and whisk yolks continuously until they thicken enough to form a ribbon when you lift whisk, about 5 minutes. (Take bowl on and off heat as needed to prevent eggs from curdling.) Remove bowl from heat and season sauce with salt and lemon juice to taste. Set aside.
2. Cut peeled white asparagus stalks into 1-inch pieces. Add cut stalks to pot of boiling water and cook until fully tender, about 7 minutes. Transfer stalks to a food processor and purée until smooth. With motor running, drizzle in grapeseed oil until fully incorporated. Season with salt to taste. If lumps remain, pass purée through a fine mesh strainer. Set purée aside.
3. Return pot of water to boil. Separately blanch white and green asparagus tips until just tender, about 1 minute, transferring tips to an ice-water bath as you go. Drain tips, pat dry and season with salt. Use a vegetable peeler to shave 7 green asparagus stalks into thin curls. Set aside.
4. Clean and thoroughly dry pot used to cook asparagus. Add canola oil to pot and set over medium-high heat. Use a thermometer to determine when oil reaches 325 degrees. Add capers and fry until they bloom and crisp, about 1 minute. Use a slotted spoon to transfer capers to a paper-towel-lined plate.
5. Divide white and green asparagus tips among four plates. Scatter shaved asparagus and fried capers over top. Drizzle egg sauce and white asparagus purée around asparagus. Garnish with chervil, if using.

As the Geneseo boys' basketball team looked to earn its second conference victory of the season Feb. 7, the Leafs battled with visiting conference foe Dixon and emerged with a 52-47 win.
Dixon grabbed the early one-point lead in the first quarter, 10-9 and managed to hold on to that one-point advantage at the half, 20-19.
Both squads scored 10 points in the second quarter.
The Leafs gained control of the game in the third quarter as they posted 13 points to Dixon's eight to take the 32-28 lead.
Geneseo put up 20 points in the fourth quarter to seal the victory, while Dixon attempted to steal the win with a 19-point fourth quarter.
Landon Hoon and Jordan Starkey paced the Leafs' offense as both players scored in double figures.
Hoon led the way with 13 points, as he knocked down four shots from the field and five free throws, while Starkey chipped in 11 as he hit four field goals and went 3-for-4 from the line.
Drew DeCap added nine points of his own as he drained two shots from beyond the arc, a field goal and a free throw, while Alec Cheek also raked in nine points as he went a perfect 5-for-5 from the free-throw line and also had two field goals.
JJ Rivera and Austin Frank both finished the night with four points, as they scored on two field goals apiece while Luke Snyder hit a field goal for his two points.
The Leafs (4-15 overall and 2-4 in the NIB?12) will host Streator at 7:30 p.m. tonight, followed by a road match up with Ottawa at 6 p.m. Feb. 11.

Phi Beta Sigma (ΦΒΣ) is a predominantly African-American fraternity which was founded at Howard University in Washington, D.C. on January 9, 1914, by three young African-American male students. The founders A. Langston Taylor, Leonard F. Morse, and Charles I. Brown, wanted to organize a Greek letter fraternity that would exemplify the ideals of brotherhood, scholarship, and service.

|Giant Protease TPP II's Structure, Mechanism Uncovered
|Wednesday, 23 February 2011 00:00
Tripeptidyl peptidase II (TPP II), the largest known eukaryotic enzyme that breaks down proteins (a protease), is implicated in numerous cellular processes including the degradation of the endogenous satiety agent cholecystokinin–8, making TPP II a target in the treatment of obesity. To gain insight into this molecular machine's mechanisms of activation and proteolysis, researchers from Berkeley Lab, the University of California, Berkeley, and the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry combined single-particle cryo-electron microscopy and x-ray crystallography at ALS Beamline 8.2.2.
Earlier single-particle cryo-electron microscopy investigations showed the overall structure of the TPP II holocomplex to be a spindle-shaped assembly composed of two twisted strands, with each strand containing 10 repeat segments (dimers). Functional studies show the dimers are effectively inactive, but the specific activity of TPP II increases with the number of assembled dimers, indicating a contact–induced activation mechanism.
The structure of the TPP II holocomplex is highly dynamic in vitro, and crystallization of the complete assembly has remained elusive. To address this challenge, Drosophila TPP II spindle assemblies were dissociated into dimers in the presence of detergent. The dimers were crystallized and their structure determined by x-ray crystallography; the holocomplex model was prepared by docking the dimers into the electron-microscopy-derived envelope.
The resulting structure reveals the compartmentalization of the active sites inside a system of chambers with small openings, restricting substrate access to short unfolded peptides, and suggesting the existence of a molecular ruler limiting the size of cleavage products. Furthermore, the structure supports a model of TPP II assembly-dependent activation involving the relocation of a flexible loop and the repositioning of the active-site serine, coupling it to holocomplex assembly and active-site sequestration.
TPP II monomers comprise three general domains: (i) a subtilisin-like domain containing a long insert (~200 amino acids) typical of all TPP II homologues, (ii) a central domain rich in β–sheet structure, and (iii) a C–terminal domain containing a 12-helix bundle.
TPP II dimers are formed by monomers—generally shaped like bottomless "bowls" with a curved protrusion—oriented back-to-back, with the opening at each bowl's bottom blocked by the adjoining monomer. The monomers' protrusions, formed by the C-terminal domain and part of the subtilisin-like domain's insert, abut to form the dimer's "handle."
The overall arrangement of the catalytic residues in the crystal structure of the TPP II dimer is similar to that of other subtilisin (a nonspecific protease) family members, but one of the active-site residues (serine) is displaced ~5 Å away from where it would be expected based on its equivalent in subtilisin. Three residues at the C-terminal end of a loop, adjacent to the active-site serine, are bound to the TPP II substrate binding cleft, rendering the enzyme unable to bind substrate. Two glutamate residues at one end of the substrate-binding cleft limit how many residues can be accommodated there, creating a molecular ruler limiting exoproteolytic products to tripeptides. At the same time, these residues orient substrates so the tripeptides are removed exclusively from N-termini.
The stacking of TPP II dimers into proteolytically active strands forms a network of chambers within the holocomplex. At each dimer–dimer interface, a suite of chambers compartmentalizes the active sites. Any substrate to be degraded by TPP II must diffuse over a long distance to reach an active site; however, this is counterbalanced by the presence of multiple pathways, improving access to the active sites.
The structure of the TPP II holocomplex suggests a model for the assembly-dependent activation of TPP II, in which a loop adjacent to the active-site serine plays a key role as an activation switch: TPP II dimers are inactive when the active-site serine is displaced. At the same time, a three-residue segment of the loop is bound to the substrate-binding cleft, which precludes substrate binding the cleft and provides an autoinhibitory mechanism. As the dimers form strands, the loop is repositioned to participate in dimer–dimer contacts, and concomitantly, the active-site serines are repositioned to proteolytically active conformations. Thus, the priming of the active sites is coupled to their sequestration from the bulk environment into chambers.

Prince Harry Looks Dapper at His First Royal Ascot Horse Race
Prince Harry donned a silk top hat for a special date Tuesday when he joined his grandmother Queen Elizabeth at the Royal Ascot races.
During the 88-year-old Queen's annual social milestone, she holds court at nearby Windsor Castle and leads most members of her family to the races in each of the five days of competition.
And perhaps because it was Harry's first time at the event, bystanders said there was a noticeable buzz in the parade ring when the carriages entered.
An early glimpse of Harry, in a long tailcoat, came as the open-topped carriage entered the course through the Golden Gates at the top end of what is called The Straight Mile. Also in the carriage with Harry – or Prince Henry of Wales, as he was listed, using his official, rarely used name – was his grandfather Prince Philip, 93, and his uncle Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, 54.
Following them in the second carriage were Prince Charles, 65, and his wife, Camilla, 66 – she'd recovered from the cold that caused her to miss the Order of the Garter service Monday – and Harry's cousins, Princesses Beatrice, 25, and Eugenie, 24.
Though it was a welcome surprise for his fans to see Harry at the races, the prince has made excursions to the countryside before to see some of the queen's racehorses. And he is close to Jake Warren, the son of the queen's racing manager.

Pink was apparently the favorite and could be chosen for Wednesday. But Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said: "Blue was heavily backed by punters and we've already faced a huge payout before racing has even started. Her Majesty's known to sport a pink hat on day 2, and it's a short price she'll be looking pretty in pink once again."
At the weekend, Harry will head off on a tour of Brazil and Chile. In July, he will join his brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Kate, to help launch the British leg of the Tour de France cycling race.

Video 13: meet our bridal party aka our siblings
Hi there IFF!
Last week, we hit you with a pretty heavy topic as Arel and I took some time to figure out what marriage is really about and why and if we should head down that road. As you're aware, we did take the plunge and documented the process so stay tuned for more posts.
The week prior to our wedding, the day of, and day after was crazy and filled with never ending tasks. Thank goodness our family and friends showed up a few days early to help us out. Remember, how Arel and I commented in an earlier post that we weren't too sure what the point of a bridal party was? Well, our lovely bridesmaids and groomsmen sure did come through and our wedding could not have been pulled off without all of their hard work. We were so grateful for their presence and dedication.
In this video, we introduce you to two of the hardworking bridal party members, the best man and one of the bridesmaids. See if you can figure out who's related to who…
See ya next week!

TRUCKEE, Calif. — One of the community's newest and most popular eateries sustained heavy damage from an overnight fire, officials said.
The Truckee Fire Protection District and police department responded to the fire at Morgan's Lobster Shack & Fish Market at 10089 West River St. shortly before 1 a.m. Friday.
"The interior was engulfed in flames and was heavily damaged," officials said in statement. "The fire does not appear to be suspicious at this time."
The fire started in the restaurant's kitchen, Truckee Fire spokesman Paul Spencer said Friday. No one was hurt in the blaze.
Traffic on West River was not impacted, according to Truckee Police.
Officials with Calfire, Squaw Valley Fire Department, Northstar Fire Department and the North Tahoe Fire Protection District helped extinguish the blaze "very quickly," Spencer said.
The restaurant and market owned by Heather and Shawn Whitney offered lobster, scallops, halibut, swordfish, salmon and shrimp, among other East Coast-inspired seafood options. It opened about a month ago and has received many positive reviews from the Truckee community.
At about 10 a.m. Friday, Shawn Whitney was at the scene on West River Street.
"This is not going to deter us," he said. "We're going to reopen in a month, hopefully. We're coming back ... (it's) a little bump in the road."
The building sustained interior damage and smoke damage, but no structural damage, he said.
A fundraising website has been established to assist with the restaurant's recovery. It can be accessed here.
"Please help small business owners Heather and Shawn Whitney reopen their lobster shack that they just opened in May 2013 and recently had a fire which has caused them to temporarily close," according to a post on the site. "Their restaurant is a great addition to the town of Truckee and we need to help them get through this bump in the road."
