|How Dynein Binds to Microtubules
Cytoplasmic dynein is a protein complex responsible for the transport of a large variety of cargoes, from specific RNAs and proteins to whole organelles, in a directional fashion along microtubules that serve as cellular conveyor belts. Consistent with this central role, cytoplasmic dynein is associated with a number of disease-related processes, including the transport of viruses, neurodegeneration, and the mitotic checkpoint malfunctions that lead to cancer. A team of researchers from the University of California's San Francisco and Berkeley campuses has recently solved the structure of dynein's microtubule-binding domain (MTBD) and part of the stalk structure that connects MTBD to the rest of the dynein complex. This first look at any part of the dynein motor domain identifies how it binds to microtubules and gives some hints into the fascinating question of how communication passes along the stalk from the MTBD to the rest of the motor.
The heart of cytoplasmic dynein is the motor domain that couples hydrolysis of ATP with conformational changes that drive motility and that remains the only major class of cytoskeletal motors for which crystal structures are not available. The motor domain is built out of a ring of six protein domains belonging to the AAA+ family and binds to microtubules by a specialized binding domain found at the end of a long, thin stalk that emerges from between two of the AAA+ domains.
In order to produce a stable construct for crystallization, the dynein MTBD and the top part of the stalk, which forms an antiparallel coiled coil of two alpha helices, were fused into the coiled coil of a known protein called seryl-tRNA synthetase. Molecular replacement using the seryl-tRNA synthetase part of the fusion protein revealed sufficient density of the dynein MTBD to allow its structure to be solved to a resolution of 2.3 angstroms at ALS Beamline 8.3.1.
The observed structure confirms the coiled-coil nature of the dynein stalk and shows that it is kinked by the presence of two highly conserved prolines (amino acids). The rest of the MTBD consists of a novel fold of alpha helices that pack against the top of the stalk. The top face (including helices H1, H3, and H6) was identified as the site of interaction with microtubules, based on mutations that interfere with binding. Confirmation was provided by docking the crystal structure into an electron-density map of a dynein stalk bound to microtubules that was obtained by cryoelectron microscopy.
In order for dynein to move cargoes, the conformational changes in the AAA+ ring that drive movement must be correctly coupled to its binding and unbinding from microtubules. This coupling requires communication between the MTBD and AAA+ ring. The researchers gained insight into this process by noticing that the affinity of the MTBD could be controlled by changing the fusion site in the seryl-tRNA synthetase fusion protein. This observation led them to suggest that communication was mediated by a small (four-amino-acid) relative sliding of the alpha helices in the stalk. A number of features of the structure are consistent with this mechanism. For example, the top of the helix that is thought to slide during communication makes relatively few contacts with the rest of the MTBD but connects directly to the main helix involved with contacting microtubules. In contrast, the other stalk helix makes extensive contacts with the rest of the MTBD, consistent with its role as a more rigid element against which the other stalk helix slides.
While the MTBD structure solved at the ALS is but a step on the road toward understanding dynein's function, it is already beginning to provide mechanistic insight.

EAST LIVERPOOL - If the customer in front of you at the local department store was purchasing Styrofoam cups, cough syrup, Sprite, Jolly Ranchers and Gummi Bears, would you give him even a questioning glance?
Most likely not, yet that customer just purchased all the makings of a drug that has gained popularity among young people.
That was just one of many facts shared Tuesday at the East Liverpool Motor Lodge during Operation Street Smart, an award-winning, nationally renowned program presented by undercover officers to a roomful of parents, concerned officials, social service agency staff members, educators and law enforcement officers.
Lt Shawn Bain and retired Sgt. Michael Powell of the Franklin County Sheriff's Office, gave a sobering four-hour presentation aimed at enlightening the community on current drug trends, how young people get the drugs they're taking, how they hide them and refer to them and the effects on their bodies and lives.
A display of devices used to ingest drugs showed such surprisingly normal items as a large hollowed-out bolt, while a power strip lying on the floor turned out to be deceptive: Although its light was on, it wasn't plugged in, and the officers showed that it was actually battery operated and had a compartment in which drugs could be concealed.
The aforementioned cough syrup and accoutrements were included in a startling video of a young man who showed, step-by-step how the Jolly Ranchers candies and Sprite are used to dull the taste of cough syrup in a mixture often referred to as "drank" or even "deuce," "tre" or "fo" that indicates how many ounces of cough medicine was used in its making.
Another video showed the effects over-the-counter medications had on three teen-age girls, who were obviously impaired.
The officers emphasized, "There's nothing wrong with (an OTC medication) when taken with respect." With Powell urging, "Every time you give them medicine, whether they're 2 or 22, tell them if they abuse it, it can take their life.
In an emotional discussion, Powell told of two parents who spent the evening with their 16-year-old son a responsible athlete and scholar who died later that night after "huffing" from an aerosol can of computer keyboard cleaner in his bed.
"He was gone within two minutes," Powell said.
Bain talked about the recent trend to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes, relating that he walked into a medical marijuana doctor's office in California and pretended to be suffering from migraines.
The exam room consisted of a card table, two metal chairs and "not even a blood pressure cuff," according to Bain, who said there was, however, a display of pipes used for smoking marijuana in the lobby.
After being asked a couple questions, paying $110 and giving his hotel address as his residential address, Bain was issued a certificate making it legal for him to smoke marijuana for his "migraines."
"It's a big money-making scam," he told the laughing audience.
A host of other drugs, including K2 or spice that had until recently been legal to sell, was explained, and the officers encouraged those present to watch closely in the trash, with Bain saying, "People using drugs get reckless," and throw packaging and jars away.
Powell told of two young boys who both smoked "superpush," a type of the K2 drug, both ending up hospitalized and drew gasps from the audience when he related that one of the boys is OK, while the other one's family is just waiting for him to die.
"There's no quality control. The second package might have 50 times the potency (of the first). It's crazy what these kids are putting in their bodies without knowing what it is," Bain said.
Bain also pointed out that song lyrics often refer obliquely, or sometimes brazenly, to drug terminology, saying it doesn't matter what genre of music.
Officers from a number of police departments attended the presentation, including Lisbon, Leetonia, St. Clair Township, Wellsville, East Palestine, Wellsville, Salem and the Columbiana County Sheriff's Department.
The program was sponsored by ADAPT Coalition, Columbiana County Drug Task Force and Columbiana County Mental Health and Recovery Services Board.

The Stetson baseball program was recognized this week by the National Alliance of College Summer Baseball (NACSB) as one of the most valuable programs in the nation.
Stetson tied for eighth in the rankings, which were built around the participation of a program's players in the organization's 10 summer league programs. The Hatters had 15 players compete in various summer leagues this year, including a trio that played in the prestigious Cape League in Massachusetts.
Stetson received 30 points in the standings, tied with Indiana University of eighth place. Georgia Tech took top honors with 40 points followed by Maryland (36), Florida Atlantic (35), Seton Hall (34), Wake Forest (34), Seminole State (33) and Vanderbilt (31).
Stetson senior pitchers Kurt Schluter and Joe Dye were joined in the Cape League by junior hurler Cameron Griffin.
The unofficial start to the 2013 season for the Stetson baseball program will be held on Monday, Feb. 4, at the Dick Westervelt First Pitch Banquet in the Stetson Room at the Carlton Union Building on campus. The evening will include a social hour, dinner and awards presentations from the 2012 season.
The Hatters will open the 2013 season on Friday, February 15, against Saint Joseph's at 6:30 p.m. Stetson will play another home heavy slate again this spring with 38 home game at Melching Field, including 19 of the first 20 games of the year.

745i... Truly an "Ultimate Driving Machine!"
by TXSTYLE from TEXAS | May 15, 2009
So this was my first BMW but certainly not my last! I came from a Lexus. And I heard all this talk of "You need to own at least 1 BMW in your life." Now I see why! This sedan is not only beauty on wheels, but it is surprisingly quick and nimble. It is quiet and comfortable. The service at BMW is always top-notch. Compliments are non-stop and folks always think my car is brand new! A testament of the timeless style and design Chris Bangle brought to BMW. It has been totally problem free. And I look forward in owning another BMW real soon!

"Perfect Machine"
by BMW vs. MB.... BMW for sure!!! from Chicago | April 16, 2008
I don't know what everyone is talking about, but this BMW is one of the best auto's to own. The i-drive is the just perfect. I don't get it why everyone is so unhappy. I guess I can see if my father tried to drive one, he would be upset also. Other then that, this car has been extreamly reliable. I purchased it used, but I had all the service records given to me before purchase. The car comes with BMW 6yr/100k mile warranty. Which I thought was great. To be honest, I've never had to use it. I will purchase an extanded just to be on the safe side. I can honestly say that I will never really need to use it. I have 73k on this car right now, I've owned it for 3 yrs, and only have taken it in for reg. maintanence. All I can say is make sure that the car has no recalls on it and if so walk away, and if it has previously been maintained. Love it, and will buy another one. FOR SURE!!!

Two people getting together for an activity when the possibility of romance between them has been broached but not ruled out. Since the exploration of romance is the purpose of a date, merely asking someone out on a date is sufficient to broach the subject. Dates may or not continue once a couple have entered into a romantic relationship. The word "date" may be used to identify a get together between two people not romantically involved, but this usage is meant to convey irony, since such a meeting is not a date in the true sense of the word.
Yeah, Mike and I went on a date last night. He's cute, but I'm not sure if I want to get involved with him or not.

Aperture, Speed & Sensitivity (Part 1)
By ACDSee Guest Blogger & Professional Photographer Alexandra Pottier
In photography, three things matter: Aperture, speed and sensitivity. These three facts, when combined, make a good exposure.
About aperture in photography:
The diaphragm opening in a camera is composed of thin metal curtains that open or close in increasing sizes.
The aperture of the diaphragm corresponds at the size of the surface that will allow the light to come in and hit the sensor during the exposure. You can compare the diaphragm to a window, the bigger the size, the more light comes in and the room is more bright.
The size is expressed in f/stops where large numbers (f/22) are letting very little light in, which is useful when there is a lot of light, like a bright sunny day.
Whereas smaller numbers (f/2.8) allow a lot of light to come in when there isn't much light around.
f/2.8 f/8 f/22
The numbers are proportional, if you increase one f/stop (from f/11 to f/8 for example) you double the size of the hole from which the light comes through. It is the same proportion if you decrease from one f/stop, (from f/8 to f/11) you let half of the light to come through.
The most common f/stops are f/2.8, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16 , f/22.
Usually, the biggest or the smallest aperture given by a lens depends on its focal length. The average lens with a focal length of 50mm, has a maximum aperture around f/2.8. A bigger zoom lens usually offers a smaller aperture, around f/5.6.
The more a lens opens wide, the more complex it is to build. The zoom lenses with a big focal length (200mm) and a wide aperture are usually very expensive.
The aperture also affects the depth-of-field (DOF), the sharpness of the different levels of the picture. In other words, the depth of the depth of field.
With a large aperture (f/2.8) the depth-of-field is small and, on the contrary, a small aperture (f/22) gives a large depth-of-field.
In Portrait photography, it is recommended to use a small depth-of-field, so everything that is behind the subject will have a nice artistic blur. Where in landscape photography, it is better to use a large DOF, and so a small aperture to have every level in the picture sharp.
The image on the left has a big aperture (f/2,8) and has a small depth of field
The image on the right has a small aperture (f/22) and has a large depth of field.
You can change the aperture by using the manual mode of your camera, or you can use the A or Av mode. When you do so, your priority is to set the aperture first, the other settings will follow.
Some cameras have a depth of field measurement where it shows you what is invisible. When you change your aperture while using this tool, you can see the depth of field changing through the lens. Very handy to compose a nice picture.
Now get your camera and practice!

LOCKPORT – Ryan S. Smith, the Niagara Falls man whose convictions for two robberies and a shooting were overturned because police Tasered him to obtain a DNA sample, has again refused to consent to a swab for a DNA test.
Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said her Dec. 4 order for Smith to give his DNA to the prosecution is still in effect, but Smith would not obey it.
The order is being appealed to the Appellate Division of State Supreme Court, said Joseph Terranova, Smith's court-appointed defense attorney.
Smith, 24, is to be retried April 8 on the 24-count indictment that brought him a 45-year prison sentence after Niagara County prosecutors used DNA to place Smith at the crime scenes.
The handcuffed Smith was zapped with the stun gun in September 2008 to force him to yield to police demands for a swab for cells from the inside of his cheek.
Smith had given a DNA sample the previous month, but it was spoiled at the laboratory, meaning it couldn't be compared with Smith's DNA on file in the state criminal database. He gave that sample after a previous conviction.
The forcibly obtained DNA matched that left on a glove found near the scene of a Christmas Eve 2006 armed robbery of a Falls gas station and convenience store, as well as DNA on a can of soda sipped by a man who invaded a Niagara Falls home July 27, 2006.
Smith was convicted of carrying out two home invasions that day. At the second, a man was shot.
In March 2012, the Appellate Division overturned the convictions and ordered a new trial.
Terranova said he supports Smith's refusal to comply with Farkas' Dec. 4 order.
"Why should they let the [prosecution] benefit by going back a third or fourth time?" he asked.
Farkas suggested to Paul Parisi, the Erie County assistant district attorney who now has the case, that he prepare an "order to compel" for her to sign at the next court date March 13.
Farkas said as far as she is concerned, the trial will go forward as scheduled unless the Appellate Division issues a stay of the DNA order.
Terranova said he believes Smith cannot be convicted without DNA evidence.

Longtime Southwest Colorado resident Twila May Pritchett West died Thursday, Sept. 6, 2012, at her home in Sun City West, Ariz. She was six weeks shy of her 82nd birthday.
Mrs. West was born to Oscar L. and Helen Baer Pritchett on Oct. 17, 1930, in Dolores. She grew up there and was a cheerleader in high school.
On Dec. 13, 1953, she married ML West at the Methodist Church in Dolores.
"They both had the courage to pick up their lives completely when they married, and they moved our family around the United States and even into Mexico once over a 25-year period," her daughter, Rhonda West said. "Every year or two we would pick up and follow my father's career as a metallurgist to a new place. Mom managed these moves with aplomb."
The West family lived, among other places, in Hesperus; Cortez; Golden; Reno, Nev.; Rockdale, Texas; Veracruz, Mexico; Newburg, Ind.; Vancouver, Wash.; Maryville, Tenn.; and Lake Charles, La. Mr. and Mrs. West spent numerous summers in Durango.
Mrs. West always had a bridge group and ladies golf league as well as enjoying a Jazzercise group in Sun City West.
"She was a social animal in the best sense of the word," her daughter said. "She loved friends and fun and family, especially when we could all be happening together. She organized neighbors and friends into dinner parties and social outings constantly."
Her family remembers her as a good listener and a grandmother who loved to play with her grandchildren.
"The corner cabinets of her huge family kitchen in Colorado transformed into the castle of dreams for two generations of children," her family said. "She would cook with these little girls, oblivious to the batter that sprayed across the walls, and she was even willing to eat those decorated cakes the rest of us feared to touch. She was never too tired to play."
The Wests also enjoyed traveling, visiting China, New Zealand, Europe, Alaska, Hawaii, Canada, Mexico and Egypt.
"She had a few faults," her daughter said. "Her golf game was always shaky. She had a sweet tooth that knew no limits. And in recent years she wasn't very good at holding her punches, but that seems to me a well-earned perk of getting older."
Mrs. West is survived by her husband of almost 59 years, ML West, of Sun City West; son, Brian West, of Durango; daughter, Rhonda West, of St. Louis; sister, Evelyn Tibbits, of Dolores; six grandchildren; and four great-grandchildren.
No services are planned at this time.

In this sneak peek of the next episode of The Bachelorette, Craig can barely suppress his drunken infatuation with the brunette beauty, as he sits – all boozed up – with the other contestants and raves about Dorfman.
"Andi's incredible," he says. "Oh my god. She's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life."
"Craig is handling it a little differently that some of us," Tasos cracks about his competitor. "I don't know how much he's had to drink, but you can tell that it was more than he should have had."
Indeed it was: The booze apparently provided enough liquid courage for Craig to make a play for some face time with Dorfman, 27.
"I'm gonna go get my one-on-one time right now," he says, as he heads upstairs to look for Dorfman.
Will his ploy work or backfire? Catch the next episode of The Bachelorette, airing Monday at 8 ET on ABC.

|Understanding the Autophagy Pathway
Autophagy is a process in which a double-membrane structure called an 'autophagosome' engulfs portions of a cell's cytoplasm, including organelles. The contents of the autophagosome are then directed for degradation in the lysosome, an organelle that breaks down waste and debris in cells so the raw materials can be reused. Recent research at the ALS clarifies key aspects of enzyme activity in this process.
Autophagy is key to maintaining cellular equilibrium, or homeostasis; however, dysregulation of autophagy has been implicated in several diseases. Central to autophagy is a ubiquitin-like protein (Ubl) system called Atg8. In general, Ubls serve as molecular tags, altering the fate of their targets. In autophagy, Atg8 is activated by its E1 enzyme Atg7, then handed off to its E2 enzyme Atg3, and finally attached to a lipid moiety (phosphatidylethanolamine) within the expanding autophagosome.
In recently published research, crystal and solution (SAXS) structural analysis performed at ALS Beamlines 8.2.2 and 12.3.1 shed light on the mechanism by which the E1 enzyme for autophagy transfers the Ubl Atg8 to the E2 enzyme.
This research shows that Atg7 functions in a manner distinct from other related E1 enzymes, namely E1s for ubiquitin, SUMO and Nedd8. Atg7, a homodimer, catalyses the transfer of Atg8 to Atg3: Atg3 bound to one Atg7 monomer accepts Atg8 from the opposite Atg7 protomer in the dimer. In addition to expanding our mechanistic understanding of the Atg8 system, this study identified a unique mode of E1-E2 binding, where a loop from Atg3 binds a conserved groove on Atg7. This Atg3 loop-Atg7 protein interface may serve as a potential therapeutic target to regulate autophagy.
Work performed on ALS Beamlines 8.2.2 and 12.3.1.

On The National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific
November 23, 2012 - Ray Tsuchiyama
Above-listed is the official name, known in Hawai'i as simply "Punchbowl", for the large green, calming dipped expanse atop an extinct volcanic tuff cone located near downtown Honolulu. According to geologic time, the cone is not that ancient, as it was blasted and formed about 75,000 to 100,000 years ago during the most "recent" period of volcanic activity on Oahu Island.
After the 1893 Overthrow, the new Republic of Hawai'i government assigned a committee to investigate various land parcels, and a committee (all pro-Republic, non-Kingdom loyalists) recommended that Punchbowl become the site for a new cemetery. However, the new pro-Dole government rejected the idea, since that would put a graveyard for all races overlooking the Republic's new splendid capital city, and for the next fifty years, after the Territory of Hawai'i was established, the idea for a cemetery languished.*
After World War II Congress and veteran's organizations lobbied the U.S. Department of War to accelerate the burials of the remains of thousands of GIs stored on Guam awaiting permanent burial. This was the trigger for the U.S. Army to begin planning the Punchbowl cemetery, and soon construction began.
Starting in early 1949 among the first persons to be buried at Punchbowl was Ernie Pyle, the famous war correspondent who was killed on Iwo Jima in 1945 (he was also an ex-Navy enlisted man, Seaman Third Class, which gave him great empathy for the downtrodden soldiers and sailors, especially in the Pacific War, and was beloved by millions who read his battlefield reports).
Among many Hawai'i heroes who are buried at Punchbowl, one is Staff Sergeant Robert T. Kuroda, who was with the 442nd Infantry Regiment, and killed in action in the famous "Lost Battalion" battle near Bruyeres, France in fall, 1944. He single-handedly attacked two enemy machine gun posts before being killed by a sniper – and was later awarded the Medal of Honor. When he passed away, he was only 21 years old. On Kalia Road at Fort DeRussy in Waikiki, the "Kuroda Field" sign, so named after this gallant, brave soldier in a ferocious battle so far away from Hawai'i, is in front of a monkey pod tree.
Contrary to popular opinion, not all who are buried at Punchbowl were killed during World War II battles (over 13,000 remains are there now). Included in the list of Medal of Honor winners is Private Erwin Jay Boydston, a Marine who was decorated for his efforts supporting the Allied defenses during the Boxer Rebellion in Beijing, China, during a terrifying siege campaign in the summer of 1900. After his Marine service, Private Boydston somehow made his way to Honolulu and passed away in 1957, and was interred at Punchbowl. One wonders what he would have thought of the past two decades of China's economic rise, so different from his Marine service at the turn of the century: the weak imperial government, a revolutionary nationalist uprising, and an technologically-advanced international "police" force, including Americans, British, Russians, French, and Japanese -- that could march anywhere in China not subject to any Chinese laws. Now the Chinese have a huge army, and are developing better missiles, even an aircraft carrier, and are engaged in territorial disputes with countries ranging from Vietnam, Philippines, Taiwan, and Japan.
Among notables in politics, entertainment, and space travel interred at Punchbowl are former Governor John A. Burns (he served in the U.S. Army), Clara H. Nelson (known as the iconic "Hilo Hattie", the "Hawai'i Calls" radio personality and 1960s nightly singer/comedienne at the Hilton Hawaiian Village; as a spouse of a former serviceman, she was eligible to be interred at Punchbowl, as my mother), and astronaut Ellison S. Onizuka (an Air Force Lt. Colonel), who passed away in the Challenger tragedy in 1986. Interestingly, Ellison Onizuka, a native of the Island of Hawai'i, was the first Buddhist in space.
Some time ago the Punchbowl ground burial sites ran out. So, low walls were constructed with rows of small spaces where urns with the deceased ashes are placed – called a "columbarium" (the original Latin term referred to compartmentalized housing for doves and pigeons).
Whenever I stand in front of my parents' small wall marker, I feel very close to my parents' spirits, perhaps by now reincarnated. I clean the small metal flower vase and place sunflowers (my father's favorite) or tropical arrangement (my mother liked anthuriums) into the vase. Out of curiosity, I read other grave markers along the wall. I felt uncomfortable once when I saw a grave marker for an individual whose birthday year was the same as mine – such a short life: I felt that I was coming nearer to the end of my life, as well, and felt anxious about what I had not done nor experienced (but that's another post). Often on visits with my sister or other family members I see gaudy birthday balloons attached to the vases, and in front of one space, according to the birthday date, the interred individual would be 129 years old.
Once during Thanksgiving some years ago I saw a turkey and mash potatoes meal in a take-out box in front of a grave (unopened beer bottles can be enjoyed by the maintenance crew – but a full dinner attracts ants and other insects). As the holiday season is coming, I chuckled when I read the Punchbowl rules – no Christmas trees are allowed, as these are not in the "potted plant" category and banned (as are stuffed animals, pinwheels, balloons, large cards – but I have seen them all and a lot more).
Even if our loved ones are gone forever from the material world, some family members and friends try their hardest to include them still in their daily lives, and to do something that would have made them happy. And although I wince at entire turkey dinners, I have thought of bringing a slice of apple pie for my father to place in front of the wall and imagine how much he would have enjoyed it.
*Barely 30 years after the Republic of Hawai'i ended, in 1927 a Beaux-Arts memorial was dedicated to the Hawai'i servicemen who gave their lives during World War I – the Natatorium in Waikiki. The controversy still rages if the memorial includes the pool – and this is a critical point for some supporters, since if that is so, any destruction or removal of the pool from the Natatorium site would mean a desecration of the memorial to the fallen Hawai'i soldiers at far-away European battlefields.

Since it is the last Wednesday of the month, it's time to highlight an amazing mom I know.
Except, she doesn't have any kids.
If I were to identify her by name, she wouldn't like all the attention. But I hope she will recognize herself in these words. If I were a betting woman, I'd bet you will recognize her in a woman you know, too.
She is the mommy who only has babies in Heaven.
The mommy I know has lost at least four babies through miscarriage over the last few years. But she is not a "childless" woman. She is quite literally a mommy without a baby.
Since it's rather socially awkward to discuss fertility issues and miscarriage, she carries her pain silently. She celebrates at baby showers for others. She is excited when someone she cares about gets pregnant. She visits new babies at the hospital.
She puts on a brave face but cries a little inside each time. I can see it in her eyes.
She had already had a couple of miscarriages when I suffered my own in 2009. Because I am a complete dolt, I had never thought much of her experiences until I was the one losing the baby I had grown to love in such a short amount of time. I had called to "make sure she was OK," and ask if she "needed anything." But other than that, I am ashamed to say I hadn't given much thought to her pain.
When I miscarried, she came to my house and cried with me. Because she knew.
I hate that I hadn't thought to do that for her.
After I lost my baby in 2009, it was hell to be around pregnant women, especially pregnant women who complained.
"Don't they know how lucky they are to be pregnant?" I would think.
I'd have given anything to have my baby safe with me instead of….well, instead of what had happened.
This mom, the one without kids of her own: She is one of my heroes. She taught me about empathy. Compassion. The importance of crying with those who cry. She still teaches me these things but in different circumstances.
I've seen statistics that estimate 30 percent of pregnancies end in miscarriage, and that as many as 70 to 75 percent of conceptions never implant inside the mama – resulting in a miscarriage disguised as a very heavy monthly cycle. If this is true, there are women who may not even know they have had a miscarriage.
For those of us who do know, it is a quiet undertone of a bond. Not advertised, not "celebrated." But once you experience it, you notice just how many women around you have been affected by at least one miscarriage of their own. Though I am carrying a third baby to term right now, I consider myself a mom of four. Maybe more, if those statistics above are correct.
To my Hero Mommy, whose babies are waiting to meet her in heaven: Your strength and dignity does not go unnoticed. Your compassion is inspiring. Your pain is not for naught.
Obviously, there are no words to bring understanding or make things easier for you. But hopefully you will know that you are not alone. You are loved, cherished and just as important as any mommy whose children are here with them. Your "mommy heart" is beautiful and tender and amazing.
Thank you for being you.

A Night at the Roxy – Filmadelphia // The Backyard Philly Project
Last month, the PFS Theater at the Roxy hosted Amanda Danziger's The Backyard Philly Project for it's monthly Filmadelphia at the Roxy series.
The Backyard Philly Project explores the lives of four teens growing up in the Philadelphia inner-city neighborhood known as Penn Town. Shot partially by the teens themselves, this documentary give an insightful look at life amidst city housing unites where scenes of violence, poverty, friendship, and inspiration are edited together. Including a spotlight on the Helping Hands Rescue Mission, the films reveals the necessity of support encouragement, and a positive environment for young people in the city. The film was inspired by former Kixx player Adam Bruckner, now a Philadelphia resident and after school program director.
During the Q&A session after the film, Danziger told us a bit about the inspiration, the process, and the future of the Backyard Philly Project.

UNIVERSITY PARK - The Penn State women's basketball team used a dominating defensive effort late in the second half Monday to reclaim sole possession of first place in the Big Ten Conference.
Maggie Lucas scored 17 points and the No. 8 Lady Lions held Purdue to one basket in the final six minutes of a 69-61 victory at the Bryce Jordan Center.
Alex Bentley had 13 points and Mia Nickson added 11 for Penn State (18-3, 8-1 Big Ten), which broke a tie up top of the conference standings with the No. 13 Boilermakers. Courtney Moses had 21 points to lead Purdue (18-4, 7-2).
Penn State, which never trailed, bounced back from its first conference loss of the season Thursday at Wisconsin with its 17th straight home victory.
"We're very happy about it," Lucas said. "It's a good team win. Purdue's a very, very good team. To come off that last loss and to come into this game prepared it's a big win for us."
The Lady Lions led by 13 points after Nickson's basket made it 36-23 with 19:33 left. Purdue slowly erased its deficit over the middle part of the second half. The Boilermakers climbed to within two points on four occasions, the last coming when Drey Mingo's lay-up cut Penn State's lead to 57-55 with 6:39 remaining.
From that point, the Boilermakers missed their next nine shots, including three lay-ups.
"The key to the game was at the end," Purdue coach Sharon Versyp said. "Our players did a great job of being aggressive. We had opportunities. They just didn't go our way today."
"For the most part, we did a good job in making them take tough shots," added Penn State coach Coquese Washington. "I was pleased with our effort on the defensive end."
Penn State went ahead by six points with five minutes left after a lay-up from Nikki Greene and put back by Nickson. The Lady Lions then had their own offensive problems, as neither team scored for over two minutes.
"We could have played a little bit better," Washington said. "We did do a good job of ball movement and time management. We tried not to take quick jumpers and forced them to play defense."
Lucas' jumper with 2:43 left broke the scoring drought and made it 63-55. Two free throws by Greene and a jumper from Nickson off Lucas' steal capped a 10-run and gave the Lady Lions a 12-point lead.
Moses hit a 3-pointer and later made three free throws to pull Purdue to within six points at 67-61. But Bentley's basket with under a minute left made it an eight-point game and steals by Nickson and Bentley sealed it for the Lady Lions.
"Our defense was key," Lucas said. "[Bentley's] so quick and she's got those long arms. She was able to get a steal and come through in the clutch."
Penn State jumped out to an 18-9 lead nine minutes in. It was just the start the Lady Lions were looking for coming off a disappointing, last-second loss to the Badgers.
"We certainly played with a lot of energy," Washington said. "I thought we played a pretty good game offensively. We wanted to get a lot of people involved. We had good ball movement."
Lucas' jumper gave Penn State a 20-12 lead. The Lady Lions scored just one time in the next three minutes and the Boilermakers cut into their lead. Purdue scored nine of the next 11 points and Taylor Manuel's jumper pulled the Boilermakers to within one point at 22-21.
Purdue went without a basket from the field for the final 5:47 of the half and Penn State surged ahead. Talia East had a basket and two free throws during a 12-second span to give Penn State a seven-point lead. The Lady Lions went into halftime up 34-23.

What if SCEA tries to settle?Lets just say, I want the settlement terms to include OtherOS on all PS3s and an apology on the PlayStation blog for ever removing it. It'd be good PR for Sony too, lord knows they could use it. I'm also willing to accept a trade, a legit path to homebrew for knowledge of how to stop new firmwares from being decrypted.
quote: ...because for every tech-savvy consumer who understands this issue, and realizes it's important enough to take action on, there's 1,000 mouth-breathing unthinking disaffected consumers that aren't even going to pay attention.
quote: Then you should have been way upset that that old lady took McD's to court over coffee being hot.
quote: And the fact that now Sony is using it the same way is not the isssue. The issue is that the suit is allowed to go forward.
quote: Liebeck sought to settle with McDonald's for $20,000 to cover her actual and anticipated expenses. Her past medical expenses were $10,500; her anticipated future medical expenses were approximately $2,500; and her loss of income was approximately $5,000 for a total of approximately $18,000.[14] Instead, the company offered only $800. When McDonald's refused to raise its offer, Liebeck retained Texas attorney Reed Morgan.
quote: The reality was that it actually caused quite a bit of injury due to how incredibly hot the coffee was above McD's normal standards, and that they declined to pay for the damages it caused, instead trying to shoo her away with 800 dollars.If they dropped something that sounded a little more dangerous than coffee, yet at the same temperature, people wouldn't have batted an eye. People just misconstrued the suit as frivolous because of the headlines.

Home > National Historic Sites > Lachine Canal National Historic Site > What's New > Your Event at Lachine Canal!
Information: 514-283-6054; firstname.lastname@example.com
A well-kept secret, the Peel Basin offers a unique landscape a few steps from the city centre and Old Montréal:
waterways, the Farine Five Roses sign, downtown Montréal, and the waltz of trains as they come and go...
Recent events
A bit of history
The Peel Basin was formerly a key transhipment point. The transatlantic ships were unloaded along the docks and the merchandise loaded onto lakers to continue their route to the interior.
Îlot des Seigneurs is an area steeped in history in the heart of Montréal's renewal area.
An excellent and a highly versatile location, offering easy access, parking and accommodation for a wide variety of events.
This space was once an artificial island. It was formed to the north by the canal structure of 1825, which was backfilled in the 1970s, and to the south by the canal of 1843, which remains today.
Located on the corner of St. Patrick and Charlevoix streets, Îlot Charlevoix is a landscaped green space,
a pivotal point of the Lachine Canal, where users of the path and the Métro readily converge. The Atwater Market and nearby converted buildings recall
the neighbourhood's industrial past.
The Charlevoix Bridge brings back childhood memories for people from the neighbourhood.
When ships had to pass, the bridge operator would turn the bridge sideways.
Little did the operator know that children would hang on to the bridge for a fun ride.
Tucked away under the Turcot Interchange, with the pedestrian bridge as its focal point and its location along the banks of the canal,
this alternative framework has given a new definition to the urban event.
The Côte-Saint-Paul pivoting bridge, built in 1904 by Dominion Bridge, bears the historic green apple colour.
Its design reflects the presence of maritime traffic along the canal.
A major rest area amidst blue waters and green space, the quietness of the site, along with the surrounding cultural attractions, makes this a perfect area for family activities.
Lachine Half-Marathon
Gateway to the Lachine Canal from Lake St. Louis, the successive improvements to the canal in this area—many of which are still visible in the
scenery—provide protection from the sometimes rough lake waters.

REPUBLIC - FSI Inc. representative Duke Fultz attended Republic's council meeting Monday evening to address concerns of residents who had filed complaints regarding trash pick-up services.
Dave Hamilton questioned the increase in rates shortly after services began, and Fultz said only contracted increases have been applied.
Councilwoman Deb Bogart said she dislikes "the flimsiness and smallness of the bags" FSI provides. Fultz said the company has exchanged older bags for a heftier bag now and residents need to exchange for the newer bag.
Bogart also commented on dropped items left lying on the ground. Fultz said he would discuss it with the route driver.
Fultz explained how pick-up times are not always consistent, depending on the number of pick-ups to be made.
He said FSI prefers to have complaints registered with the company directly as agreed to in the contract. The village is to include a notice to all utility users in their next billing.
Christmas celebrations in the village are coming together. The Christmas parade steps off at 6 p.m. Dec. 2 after forming at the fire station. After arriving at the American Legion post, participants will be greeted by Santa and treats.
Seneca East Show Choir is to perform at Trinity United Methodist Church at 7 p.m. following the parade.
Mayor Bruce Lambert wants council to take a closer look at village insurance coverage. Because payment is coming due in four months, council determined to discuss replacement values of village property and equipment as opposed to a fair market value. Village Administrator Crystal Hoepf volunteered to take pictures of all equipment for council to make decisions.
Hoepf has received varied quotes for more tree trimming in the village and a decision will be reached at a utility meeting this week.
Fiscal Officer Monique Delaney said all funds total $508,000 with another $400,000 invested.
Councilman Jeff Larick thanked the local historical society, senior citizens and Lady Lions for donations toward electrical costs during the Rally in the Road.
The meeting moved into executive session for discussion of personnel issues.
In other matters, council:
Congratulated Seneca East cross country team for winning the state championship
Adopted a resolution authorizing the village to require all supplemental appropriation requests be approved by a motion, waiving the three-reading rule
Heard a request from a citizen for a handicapped parking space at a private residence
Discussed a brush pile at the maintenance building.
Heard radar units are to be calibrated in November.
Discussed renewing a mutual aid agreement with Bloomville. Assistant solicitor Jessica Monday is to create the agreement.
Discussed a semi truck often parked on the street during weekends.
Discussed subcontracting winter snow plowing, and approved the village administrator obtaining quotes.
Council meets next at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 19. After the meeting is to be a committee of the whole meeting to discuss insurance coverage.

Conservation topic of county steering committee meeting
February 14, 2013
CHARLES TOWN — Jefferson County held its weekly lunch meeting with members of the comprehensive plan steering committee and local residents Wednesday in Charles Town....
Honestly, why in the world would these people waste their time & energy on this with this County Commission? I'd like to see the Journal do an investigation of how much time & tax payers money has been wasted by these Commissioners since Dale Manual has been elected on frivilous studies and steering com. Efforts that was ignored or discarded, for instance the 150k + that was spent on a Study on all the County Departments which #1 reccomendation was to hire a HR person - do we have an HR person finally? That study was buried, or the 35k+ wasted on a Recreation study Championed by Manual that came back with results of the #1 demand by residents being a large community swimming pool, now they ate talking about wasting more $ on another study? The study has been ignored and 800k+ of taxpayers $ spent on efforts to build soccer fields which wasnt even in the top 5? Or what about the hours & hours spent by the 340 com. , what became of all that work? Im sure im missing some

"That was our guideline, to use what the comprehensive plan said. The only thing that concerns me is we had hundreds of people give input into this, so I don't want it to be shelved. We did draft an alternative motion where you might have the steering committee consider the testimony and input as they consider the comprehensive plan," Brockman said.

The state Department of Agriculture found shipments of Christmas trees from the Pacific Northwest to be infested with slugs and other pests not found in the state.
As of Thursday, agricultural inspectors withheld 74 of 150 containers for pest identification or improper paperwork, said a Department of Agriculture news release Friday.
Infested containers are being treated by the Agriculture Department's Plant Quarantine Branch, which found this year's infestations to be very extensive. Treatments include shaking containers for wasp infestations and hot-water treatments for slug and coqui frog infestations.
Carol Okada, Plant Quarantine manager, said the cost of clearing the trees of slugs will be borne by the shippers. But, the state will have to absorb the overtime cost for the plant inspectors, who also are needed to clear other items being shipped to Hawaii this holiday season, she said in the news release.
With Christmas approaching, Okada said that her agency is "treating and clearing the trees as soon as humanly possible."
Okada said that she did not know why there was such a large infestation of slugs. She said officials from Washington and Oregon were shocked to hear about the problem and speculated that wet weather caused the slugs to take refuge in the trees, according to The Associated Press, based on a Honolulu Star-Advertiser report.
"It's a heavy time for us," Okada said, adding that there is a constant flow of seafood products, plants and other items arriving in the islands for the holidays.
"We will be stretched to the max," she said.
The Home Depot on Maui, which imports all of its trees from the Pacific Northwest, was not affected by the tree infestation or the container inspections, according to General Manager Dominique Ozoa on Friday.
However, Lowe's Maui General Manager Siale Puluo said Friday that one container her store received Wednesday had to be recalled due to the infestation.
Alternatives to the imported Pacific Northwest Christmas trees may be found at Kula Kelly's Farm.
Starting Dec. 1, Kula Kelly's will be selling locally grown Norfolk pines as Christmas trees from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Owner Kelly Bass and husband Mike Wilson cut and prepare the trees for customers and said that the trees have a long life span, with no shedding, prickling or smell.
The farm is located at 742 Holopuni Road in Kula. The sale will go from Dec. 1 to 23. For more information, call Mike Wilson at 281-2277.

The Bachelor episode guide season 20
