High-affinity protein complexes are critical to a large number of intricate regulatory processes. Their formation involves a complicated manifold of interactions that are diverse and complex. This complexity is reflected in the difficulty of computing the energetics of interactions between proteins using molecular structure alone. Indeed, the structure-based design of pharmaceuticals has been significantly impeded by this barrier. Understanding the fundamental origins of the energetics and dynamics of the interactions of proteins with both natural and pharmacological ligands is clearly critical to the optimization of "rational" drug design. Recent advances in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) relaxation methods have enabled the use of measures-of-motion between conformational states of a protein as a proxy for conformational entropy. There is now a strong indication from recent studies utilizing this approach that changes in conformational entropy can significantly influence the thermodynamics of the interaction of small molecule ligands with proteins. Therefore, we will examine this and related issues in the context of the ser/thr kinase p38?. p38? is intimately associated with a variety of disease states, including cancer and neurological diseases, and is an active target for pharmaceutical development. Experiments are proposed to examine the changes in fast internal motion in this protein upon interaction with both natural and pharmacological small molecule ligands. Advanced NMR relaxation methods will be employed to measure main chain and side chain motion. A variety of analytical strategies will be used to gain insight into the quantitative contributions to the thermodynamics of complex formation and to discover their structural origins. In addition, the dynamical effects of regulatory protein bindng will also be examined. These data will go to the heart of the physical mechanism for activation and deactivation of this critical kinase by both natural effector proteins and man-made molecules. Complementary hydrogen exchange studies will also be carried out with the goal of exposing cooperative interactions within p38?. This view will be particularly informative with respect to the emerging class of pseudo-allosteric drugs. A novel NMR-based approach using high-pressure perturbation and rapid three dimensional radial sampling will be employed to overcome limitations in the standard "native state" hydrogen exchange method in the context of large proteins, such as p38?. Overall, the proposal rests on a significant foundation of preliminary results including an unusually deep and robust library of resonance assignments for a ser/thr kinase.
The physical basis for the regulation of protein ser/thr kinases is key to understanding their role in cellular signaling in human biology and disease. This proposal seeks to test a fundamental hypothesis regarding the origin of high affinity interactions of proteins with proteins and drug-like ligands. Detailed knowledge of such interactions will significantly improve the cost effective rational design of pharmaceuticals.

Spurrier seeking more from 12th-ranked Gamecocks
Thu, 19 Sep 2013 19:57:07 GMT —
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WACH/AP) -- Steve Spurrier likes what he's seen of No. 12 South Carolina's offense and hopes to get even more production going forward.
The Gamecocks coach has enjoyed the quick-strike capabilities that have helped South Carolina (2-1, 1-1 Southeastern Conference) average 30 points and 480 yards a game. Spurrier believes the Gamecocks can do even better and isn't about to say it's the best offensive attack he's had since coming to Columbia.
"I hate to say that. Some of these guys can't take praise. You don't want to praise them too much, they'll think they got it made," said Spurrier. "You've got to be careful about that, so let's just say we've got some potential."
Spurrier says quarterback Connor Shaw has improved in trusting his arm instead of scrambling out of the pocket. Shaw twice struck for touchdowns in last week's 35-25 win over Vanderbilt when he hung in behind the line and found receivers in tight spots.
"He's thrown pretty well. He can do a little bit better at times, but he's done very well. He throws a beautiful pass," said Spurrier. "He's executed a lot of plays very well this year thus far."
Still, Spurrier says Shaw can take a few more shots downfield.
The coach says the foundation for the improved production is South Carolina's offensive line.
The Gamecocks have a bye this week.

The problem here is that the frontend and backend have lost sync: the server is expecting to find a message beginning at a place in the frontend data stream that evidently isn't the start of a message. In short, the frontend has sent corrupted data of some sort. Martijn's theory of inadequately locked threaded access is certainly one likely way this can happen, but it's not the only one. It might be useful for you to capture the data stream (with something like tcpdump) and try to get more information about the nature of the corruption. Frequently, if you can identify "ah-hah, THIS data is being inserted into the middle of THAT" or whatever, the cause becomes obvious. Also, before you spend too much time on this, make sure your DBI and DBD::Pg modules are up-to-date. If it's a bug in that level, it'd be foolish to waste much of your own time chasing it. regards, tom lane

On saturday I was belaying my partner up this fine route when - ho! - the first bolt came spinning down my rope along with my quickdraw. The washer and nut went skipping down the hillside. Luckily I came prepared with wrench and we were able to replace and tighten the bolt.
We also found anchors that could use some tightening around the area.
It's a long cold winter up there and it takes its toll on the metal - use caution, don't ever trust just one bolt and have fun...

|I agree with the route comments here. An excellent example of Monastery style climbing. Probably the most vertical of all the routes in this area, which makes it a bit more challenging than other routes of the same grade. But the satisfaction at the top is worth it. Look for and trust your feet, you'll need them. Have fun!!

|Fun route! Very typical Monastery climbing. Nice shady belay while you can climb in the sun. Getting to the first bolt might be crux, after that relax and enjoy the pebble pinching party.

|I'd agree that the 5.7 move seemed to be getting to the first bolt. I also found myself crimping down on the pebbles and crystals more than actually pinching. (Lotta Balls in Red Rocks? THAT seemed to be a pinchy sequence of moves.) Although "Pandora's Pebble Crimping Party Palace" doesn't have quite the same alliteration appeal....
By Jason Shatek

|I'll have to agree the crux is right off the ground. I believe I went right off the ground and crossed over left to the little ledge to clip the bolt. This is a good quick climb if you're just trying to beat the weather and get in another climb :)

|A lovely climb. I have to agree with Tom - compared to other climbs in the area, this is a pretty stiff 5.7. It's harder than Monastic Groove (5.8), for instance. The first clip is okay, but is a little dicey - I don't know if it's the crux, but it's a hard first clip compared to the rest of the route.

LONDON – Japan's women completed their Group A volleyball matches at the London Olympics on a high note on Sunday with a three-set thrashing of host Britain at Earls Court.
The 25-19, 25-14, 25-12 victory sent Japan into the quarterfinals as the third-place team from Group A with a 3-2 record and nine points from five games. Britain finished fifth with one win and two points.
Japan was led by Yukiko Ebata and Saori Kimura, who scored 14 points apiece, while Risa Shinnabe scored 12.
"We played some tough matches in the preliminary round, but I wasn't nervous and could play my normal game," Ebata said. "The next game is crucial and I want to make use of everything I've got."

( iam the VORADOR of dreamwidth )
01. give more fucks. don't be a self-centered ass, that will not earn you points with people. and i know you don't like people in general, but you need them.
02. write more. write more. write more. WRITE MORE. WRITE MORE. is that clear enough?
03. exercise more. come summer you will have the body of a gladiator (or maybe not quite so muscular, but still) or there will be pain. mark my words.
04. did i mention give more fucks?
05. oh and maybe start on that comic project you've been working on and off for the past two years, you lazy fuck. that shit ain't gonna draw itself, you know.
③ 750 words. Thanks to this website (though I've yet to figure out exactly how it does it), I've been writing 800+ words a day, every day. You can't imagine the sense of accomplishment I get when I run a word count in Word and my daily quota is filled! I know 750 words (or 800 for that matter) isn't much to most of you, but I'm a slow writer.
The magical part? I haven't written a single word on that site. I didn't even make an account. I know it gives you a text processor or something to write your daily 750 words in and it saves stuff automatically and whatnot, but I don't need any of that to get me to write. Just knowing that a website like this exists is more than enough.
This is how magic works, guys.
② Random Phrase dot com. It generates random catchy phrases like it says in the website title, but what it really does is magically inspire me to write cracky stories.
I am dead serious, guys. It does that.
① Terribleminds is Chuck Wendig's place on the Internet where he talks about writing and drinking and writing while drunk and getting drunk on writing and other such glorious things and I just. have. no. words. for how much I love this site and how much it inspires me.
Also he does this thing called Flash Fiction Challenge which got me to write a weird as all hell story about superheroes in a noir setting? I. don't. even. know.
But it was so much fun ahhhhhhhhhh.

Nebraska voters may get a chance in November to vote on whether the state's minimum wage should be increased. Organizers of a petition initiative say they turned in 134,899 signatures to the Secretary of State's office, in hopes of putting the measure on the ballot. If enough signatures are verified, this would be the first petition initiative to be put to voters since 2008.
"To qualify a statutory measure for the ballot, circulators must collect signatures from at least 7 percent of registered voters," explained Secretary of State John Gale. "Those signatures must include at least 5 percent of registered voters from 38 of the state's 93 counties."
Gale said that exact number would not be known until Monday, July 7 after election officials from all 93 counties verified their voter registration numbers to the Secretary of State's office.
Also on that date, petitions will be numbered, date stamped and sorted. Then they will be mailed or delivered to the appropriate county election officials for verification.
"They'll be checking to make sure each petition signer is properly registered, and that the address, signature and birth dates match up. County election officials will have 40 days from the date they receive the petitions to get through that process. My office can grant an additional 10 days if needed, but since this is the only petition initiative it's likely they'll get the job done in time."
Sen. Jeremy Nordquist, of Omaha, said he's feeling confident that Nebraskans will want to help make this change happen if it shows up on the November ballot.
"We think that Nebraskans get this in their gut," Nordquist said, "that they see the impacts of low wages every day, that they'll be supportive of it."
Gale said that his office would be able to follow the progress of each county as to how many signatures were accepted or rejected. "Once we've heard from all 93 counties we'll notify the petition organizer."
While the petitions are processed, the state Attorney General's office will start drafting the language that will appear on the ballot in November.
Some opponents of an increase argue that a minimum wage increase hurts employers and cuts backs on jobs, sometimes increasing the unemployment rate.
But, Adam Hintz, the co-owner of a small coffee shop called Meadowlark Coffee & Espresso in Lincoln, said he thinks an increase will help small businesses owner like himself.
"I'm looking forward to [an increase] happening and helping people have more money in their pocketbook," Hintz said.
"So, they can actually spend it in small business on main street in Nebraska."
Should the petition have enough signatures, that language is also published in a brochure that is produced and distributed by the Secretary of State's office. "It's sent to county election officials, who are required to provide copies of the pamphlet in three locations. One location is usually the library. In addition, our office will publish it online."
Within eight weeks of the election the Secretary of State's office will also coordinate a series of public hearings, one in each congressional district, so that voters have a chance to learn about the initiative and weigh in.
"Then three weeks before the election, we publish a notice in the legal newspapers, spelling out the initiative as it will appear on the ballot," Gale added.
The last petition initiative to appear on a statewide ballot was in 2008 dealing with affirmative action. "Since 1994, there have been a variety of initiatives that have been decided by Nebraska voters including gambling, the defense of marriage act, term limits and budget limitations to name a few," said Gale.
"It's not uncommon to have an average of six to eight petition initiatives filed each election cycle. Obviously, many never get off the ground. It's really dependent on the organizers to ensure that the issue goes the distance and is put before voters."

Bill Gates (and Other Insects)
Bill Gates is one of the most powerful individuals on this planet. He is donating $200 million to help stop Malaria. This is good news. It's a bit tiny though Bill – in all honesty – like the mosquito's who carry the parasite.
According to Bill Gates Wealth Clock he is worth around $61.4 billion today. 0.003% of Bill's personal wealth may make quite an impact on Malaria transmission in Africa but if Bill lived on the 0.003% and donated the rest to help find soutions to the seemingly intractable problems of the continent I would be impressed. And Bill would, after all, still have $200 million to play with.
Come to think of it, he could live on 0.003% of the $200 million, which would leave him $655,737. According to the World Bank, Gross National Income per Capita for the world's poorest countries averaged $510 per annum in 2004. Bill was born in 1955 which makes him 50 this year. If we assumed he were to live another 50 years and spend all that cash he would have an annual expenditure of around $13,100.
This would still be 26 times the spending power of the poorest. A lot of money perhaps but nothing compared to the 120,264,682 people who will survive this year collectively on income to the value of Mr Gates wealth (yes one hundred and twenty million). And this shows the real problem. "Personal" wealth is never personal, it is always a collective effort channelled by our economic systems into a smaller number of hands than creates the wealth. And until we change that, a few hundred million here or there will not solve any long term problems.
And before I get whinging complaints from free marketeers, I know Mr Gates has funded his charitable trust to the tune opf $37 billion but only $3 billion of this has been apportioned, let alone the value actually spent. And don't send your whinges anyway because I am not a free marketeer. Markets are a game set up by humans: They have rules and are never "free": The rules dictate who can play, how and when.

text: We have three sites reserved 1-3 July at Fort DeSoto. One for my family of six, one for friends family of 4, and one for extended family coming to visit from Michigan. They will have 2 men, 1 teen boy, SIL, DN, a 4-year old and a baby not quite 1 years old. The base rents campers at a decent price ($50 per day) for small 16' campers stating sleeps two adults and two small children. Do you think it would be best to rent a camper for the Michigan family ladies, 4-year old, and baby? I was leaning this direction, but my DH thinks it is not necessary. I just want everyone to have fun and not be hot and miserable. The FL families and men can suck it up. But the little ones I am most worried about. Where we are camping typically has two outlets per campsite. What kind of fans would you recommend? Would it be best to get a generator and small a/c? I know my DH is trying to stay on a budget but we might be able to borrow or rent? Page 2 has the rental options from the base. http://www.macdillfss.com/images/AllImages/pdfs/ODR/ODR_Rental_List_Oct12.pdf

I think I'd like to get something like the Orion XT10 classsic Dobsonian as an entry into DSO observing. I've thought seriously about other designs but the 10" Dob seems perfect for what I want to do and my circumstances.
We live out in the woods and just want to star gaze a bit.
Maybe later I'll gets rious about a refractor and an excellet equatorial mount... but not now. :-)
One thing I'm very interested in is the idea of collecting a few top of the line 2" eyepieces to go with the Dob. It seems like I can always use them with other scopes later.
I'm looking at 2" Televue eyepieces at the Orion website and I'm open to investing in a few... one a time probably :-)
I understand that these eyepieces might cost more than the reflector assembly but that doesn't seem too crazy to me.
I don't mind spending extra to get wide field viewing and lots of comfort with regards to exit pupil and eye relief.
Does anyone have any thoughts to share about that approach to getting started?
Maybe there's a favorite eyepiece to consider?
Perhaps there's a combo that seems useful but isn't in practice?
thanks very much,

Family Camp - Activities With Risk
Most campers participate in activities at Camp that have some inherent risk such as waterskiing, ropes course, white water canoeing, mountain man challenge, archery, swimming, woodsman, and Flag Trip. All of our staff members are well trained in their activity areas and are taught to use caution and wisdom in all situations. In addition, our Camps are accredited by the American Camping Association, which holds us to a very high standard in training, safety, and oversight. Please see below for more detail on these activities at Camp. Do not hesitate to call the Executive Director if you have any further questions about any of these or other activities at Camp.
All staff members who drive any camp powerboat have been trained in waterfront and boating safety and have passed a written and practical test on boating and safety procedures. Staff members who drive the waterski boats have had additional training in both the driving of the boats and the teaching of the campers. Safety is always the top priority. As many of our programs practice level progressions, a camper will not be able to attempt an advanced move on the water before completing and mastering foundational movements on the water (for example two ski mastery is requisite before attempting to drop a ski and ski on one ski). All waterskiers always wear a lifejacket when skiing or in the boat.
Ropes Course and Rock Wall
All Rocks and Ropes instructors have been trained by a professional climbing organization in both safety and best practices teaching techniques. Our Ropes Course has been recently upgraded to include more campers at one time while maintaining a 'fail-safe' environment by utilizing the newest state-of-the-art equipment.
White Water Canoeing
The campers in the senior division (ages 13 and up) will have the opportunity to qualify for an experience canoeing on white water (rushing water over submerged rocks). Basic levels of canoeing must be demonstrated and mastered before a camper can experience the technical sport of white water canoeing. The first step in this process after demonstrating the requisite skills on the lake is to travel to the Androscoggin River to practice on a controlled mile stretch of river that that campers may run over and over to perfect their skills. Once this level has been passed the camper may qualify to participate in longer wilderness trips on the Allagash, St. Croix, or Penobscot Rivers (all containing levels of white water). All campers in all canoeing (and all boating activities) always wear a life jacket.
Windsurfing, Sailing, Canoeing, Kayaking, and Paddleboarding
All these activities take place under close supervision by staff members trained in their boating area and in Lifeguard Training. Staff members are either in nearby kayaks, on nearby paddleboards or windsurfers, or (for sailing) in a nearby motorboat. All campers and counselors always wear life jackets in or on any boat. If any weather situation were to arise, all campers and counselors are immediately cleared from the water. If a boat is farther out on the lake, a motorboat will clear the campers from the water onto land. Camp sailors have the option of participating in weekly regattas on Long Lake. Advanced kayakers have the option of working toward an ocean kayaking trip; skills are taught including the use of ocean radios and marine maps. Only campers who have successfully gone through advanced kayak training would be allowed to participate in such a trip.
Every archery instructor at Camp Newfound and Camp Owatonna have been certified to teach the best practices for archery while providing a safe and controlled environment. As in many of our activities, Archery is based on learning progression. As the archer/camper progresses, he or she will be able to take on greater challenges. No archer is allowed to shoot any arrows unless all campers and staff members are behind the safe shooting line. Before any camper can retrieve his or her arrows from the targets, all bows have been put down, as instructed by specific commands.
Every camper will be required to participate in swimming lessons, until they successfully pass out of all of the swimming levels. The swimming program is broken down into age appropriate levels of skills that each camper must master before moving onto the next level. All swimming instructors as certified trained lifeguards(LGT) and many of the instructors are certified Water Safety Instructors (WSI).
Cherry Island and Harrison Swims
Campers who have passed their Big Float Test and have shown the ability to swim ¼ mile in the lanes at the camp H-docks, are offered the chance to participate in the Newfound Cherry Island Swim. Kayaks and canoes staffed with LGT certified counselors accompany the swimmers. The distance from Newfound's kayak beach to Cherry Island is approximately ¼ mile (1/2 mile total there and back). More advanced swimmers are offered the chance to participate in the Harrison Swim, a 2 mile swim from the local town center of Harrison back to Camp. Swimmers must successfully complete the Newfound Cherry Island Swim before attempting the Harrison Swim. Both the Cherry Island Swim and the Harrison Swim take place early in the morning, before many boats are on the lake. Swimmers stay close to shore in the Harrison Swim and are accompanied by LGT certified counselors in kayaks, canoes, and motor boats. Any camper who needs or wants to board a boat at any time is welcomed and encouraged to do so.
Arts and Crafts
The Arts and Crafts Studios at both Camps are staffed with responsible adults. Campers are never allowed to be in the Art Studios nor use the Art Studio equipment without permission and oversight by a counselor. Wood burners and glue guns are used for some projects, under close supervision by the staff member on duty.

The Wexford Convertible Cabinet Brown Cherry & 18" Infrared Firebox is going to add immediate interest into any living or working space. Not only is it capable of providing optimal flexibility as it works as a Corner Electric Fireplace or a standard wall fireplace, but is also feature rich as well. This Electric Fireplace Heater comes with faux slate and decorative moldings. It uses a large firebox to display its realistic logs and ember bed. The LED SpectraFire firebox technology offers truly realistic looking flames and lets you customize the look with 2 flame colors (orange & orange/blue) and 3 flame brightness levels.
The Electric Fireplace Mantel is equipped with a timer that will operate the unit for 30 minutes before shutting it down or go as long as nine hours if desired. The thermostatic controls adjust the quiet fan up or down to maintain the settings. This contemporary fireplace is equipped with an infrared heater that can deliver up to 5,200 BTUs (enough to add supplemental heating to rooms of around 1000 square feet or less). The modern fireplace unit needs no venting or gas lines to do this, however, and will work with access to a single, standard 120v outlet. It comes with a remote control that adjusts power, flame, and the timer; but also has manual "on screen" controls too. The Cabinet Fireplace always remains cool to the touch and features a glass front for additional realism. This is a good option for anyone in search of a realistic electric fireplace that also adds charm and ambiance year round.

I love my Wexford Convertible Fireplace!

About Me Budget Shopper
This is a dream come true for me -- love the unit and enjoy it's beautiful flame(s) --5 choices no less-- and the crackle I opted for is fun and also adjustable. The fireplace is a beautiful addition and asset to my home.
I love it and use it every day!
By Sara Morris
from Central, NJ
My office is in our entertainment room which is partially underground. I am in my office 5 days a week for work and the entertainment room with the kids the other two days of the week. In the winter the room, which is about 400 square feet, is very cold. I used to wear multiple layers of clothing just to keep warm during the workday but now that I have the fireplace the room is very cozy and comfortable. The heat settings are great because if it is 10 degrees outside I can crank the heat up to 74 or higher to stay super warm. The flames can be adjusted to be really big, small or just use the heater. I haven't received an electric bill yet but I don't think it will add too much even with the almost daily use. This fireplace has been perfect for me and I look forward to using it for a long time to come!

Absolutely Love my new Fireplace
By Punky
from Chambersburg, PA
I've had gas fireplaces in the past and have missed having one. It looks beautiful in the corner of my living room. I love it. It gives off just the right amount of heat and ambiance. The timer is one of the features that made this unit stand above the rest. It only took me 1/2 an hour to assemble. It is a great addition to my living room. We couldn't be more pleased!
Couldn't be nicer
By LorieAnne
from Daytona Beach, Fl
Bought this for my parents for Christmas. This looks beautiful in the corner of their smallish living room. They (and I) love it. It gives off just the right amount of heat and ambiance for their needs. The timer is the one feature that made this unit stand above the rest. I was worried the finish might be too dark but, it's not at all. We couldn't be more pleased!
everything I expected

Dear Footy Pajama Companies:
I appreciate everything you've done to keep my babies toasty warm over the years. However, I have an question for your Footy Pajama Scientists, whom I suspect know NOTHING about children.
As you know, infant pajamas have a nifty flap over the zipper to keep it hidden from curious fingers.
However, as soon as baby reaches toddler stage (with all the curiosity and fine motor skills that entails), the magic flap is gone.
What the HECK were you thinking?
Can you guess what caused this rant? Yep–Little Peanut unzipped her jammies, took off her diaper, and was naked as a jaybird in her crib this morning. Cute, perhaps. But the potential for a poo-finger-painting disaster cannot be ignored. I had to find a safe way to keep her pajamas on.
Some people suggested pinning a safety pin across the top of the zipper to block the mechanism. It would be hard for her to get a safety pin undone, but why chance it? I needed something that couldn't hurt her, wouldn't piss us off irritate us during a middle-of-the-night diaper change, and that wouldn't involve me buying her a bunch of new pajamas.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you the finest in toddler-proof technology. Soft, comfy, and already in her PJ drawer:
Yep, that's exactly what it looks like. Slip a t-shirt over those footy pajamas and the zipper is hidden once again! You can easily unzip for diaper changes, and there isn't a safety pin in sight.
Additional bonus: the cute tee covers up the fact that she's wearing Jackjack's hand-me-down tractor jammies. It might be a little harder to disguise the dinosaur ones, though.

James Spann's weekend weather outlook
Chief Meteorologist James Spann just released his weather outlook for the weekend on the ABC 33/40 Weather Blog, and he writes that the wet conditions across the state could continue into Saturday.
Heavy rains and thunderstorms has prompted the National Weather Service in Birmingham to leave a flash flood watch in effect for much of the state tomorrow. Moist air is expected to linger around next week, presenting the potential for daily, scattered storms mixed in with sunshine and warmer temperatures.
Forecast for Saturday from the NWS in Birmingham.
Birmingham reached a high of 76 degrees today, which checks in just four degrees warmer than the city's record set in 1940.
Torrential rains and strong thunderstorms put quite the damper on the Fourth of July holiday for people on the Gulf Coast this week, but Spann says the storms should begin improving late in the weekend and into next week. Below is a photo of a water spout that formed over the waters near Destin, Fla.

01. "Out of Africa"
"Photographed by Laurence Ellis." (contributingeditor)
Some big rarities shown here: test pressings from Minor Threat, Teen Idles, og Gorilla Biscuit t-shirts, og Misfits t-shirts, and my favorite, an og Quicksand t-shirt. Looks like they're pulled from eBay (maybe). (thca)
03. Why I love Chinatown
"Working his way as a nomad through Washington Heights to the Financial District, Chris Schonberger, TONY's assistant Web editor, has finally found a home in Chinatown. 'The abundance of legitimately cheap and delicious food is a big selling point for me (as well as a rare commodity in Manhattan), and the fact that I am much taller than the majority of the people there seals the deal,' he jokes." (timeoutny)
04. Gary Cooper as Architect in the Fountainhead
"Mirage.studio.7 has a collection of fictional architects in movies. Our favorite is Gary Cooper in The Fountainhead, an adaptation of the novel by Ayn Rand." (dailyicon)

Common Core State Standards
Make yourself heard on school standards
I give a standing ovation to the release of the Common Core State Standards for public input as a common sense step toward a better education system. These consistent standards may be defined simply as the skills and knowledge young people need to be successful in careers and college. The standards are based on evidence and research, and include rigorous content and application of knowledge through high-order skills. In addition, the standards are informed by other top performing countries, so that all students are prepared to succeed in our global economy and society.
As a parent and grandparent, I know clear consistent standards empower parents to work with their children in achieving their learning objectives.
The best and most exciting points that the standards establish is what students need to learn, but they will not dictate how teachers should teach. Instead, schools and teachers will collaborate and decide how best to assist students in reaching their highest potential through critical thinking and problem-solving skills..
Using the Common Core State Standards should mean that when parents must move, students will be able to assimilate into any school because of consistent standards across the state and nation. The rigor of academia will be consistent and the student's diploma upon graduation will mean the same as those from the top schools throughout the country.
In short, our students will be prepared to compete in the global economy. Parents, this means that you will save money on college remedial courses that often are required for admittance into a college, university or technical school.
Teachers, principals, parents and others should take the time to review the standards during this public comment period. Please go to http://corestandards.org to view the Common Core State Standards, and I urge you to take advantage of this opportunity for public comment, which lasts until April 2.

Trial lawyers play defense in Capitol | March 17
Lawmakers boost cause of big insurance
Economy bad? Let's dismantle the tort system. Never mind the lack of any evidence that our system of civil justice had anything to do with our economic meltdown or the virtual tsunami of evidence that the beneficiaries of state Sen. John Thrasher's legislative largesse will be the actual culprits (AIG, etc.).
In war, the first casualty is the truth. The same is true in politics. Sen. Thrasher's transparent campaign to dismantle our civil rights under the banner of "it's good for business" illustrates the point. No one blames the civil justice system for getting us into this current mess. In fact, it was corporate irresponsibility and lack of accountability that did so. Yet, magically, our legislators seem poised to further weaken corporate accountability while using a form of "newspeak" to cover their leadership's underlying agenda.
For those of us keeping score, Sen. Thrasher has been advancing the cause of big insurance for decades.
It seems that the truth itself is in need of emergency medical care.

Bipartisan immigration plan unveiled | March 19, story
They are trespassers
What a farce. The problem is the word "immigrant." A trespasser is not an immigrant, unless the people who profit from their presence can convince enough people to use that word.
An immigrant is a person who has applied for permission to enter the country legally and settle there. The millions who have snuck in are not immigrants by any measure.
Ask the children of legitimate immigrants about how they got here and what they expected when they got here.
The problem is that somebody profits from the illegals being here; it is not the United States or its citizens.

System to blame for county's squabbles | March 18
Politics at work
Hats off to Ernest Hooper for peering behind the superficial signs of dysfunction that have embroiled Hillsborough County's big three A's (Administrator, Attorney and Auditor) and the county commissioners.
He's the first observer to look behind the county's bureaucratic deviltries and see the or system responsible for them. As he says, it's all about the 800-pound gorilla in the room: that pending proposal for a county mayor. Isn't it time voters' opinion on this was sought?

Water rates could go up by 8 percent | March 19
Consumer loses again
Tampa Bay Water spends tens of thousands of dollars in TV and radio advertising imploring residents to reduce their water consumption. The campaign is so successful and water usage drops so dramatically, that Tampa Bay Water is now seeking a rate increase to offset monies lost from the drop in consumption. Again, the consumer is the loser.
Ted Wolfe, St. Petersburg

A solitary piece the diamond
precious rare gem most treasured
by those lucky enough to hold
Once in possession it is rarely out of grasp
Like the gemstone the mother
requires very specific conditions
in holding fast her (family/) childrens love
Treasured forever in her heart
she will go out of her way
to preen and protect them
holding them dear to her
deep within her maternal safe – the heart
closely guarded by the mind
Her infatuation of all treasures to her
are totally understandable
especially when you think to the complexity
of structure and process taken in creation
Just as from the 'unbreakable' in ancient greek
this allotrope of carbon
with strength of bonding between atoms
is representative of that strong love
between mum and child
The maternal being could be compared
to the superlative physical qualities of the stone
Even the characteristic luster
of this gem so prevalent from its ability
to disperse light and colour
compared to the many strengths
roles and qualities of the mother
seen by the many she deals with daily
A most high pressured job
versus the high pressured temperature
within the Earths mantle
that forms the delightful rock it gives birth to
Infants delight and ignite the forbearer
just as the jewel would dazzle the room
a mother's love encaptures the magical luster
of those she's birthed and nothing
stands inbetween this richest of cargo's

The tarantula built
a web in the upper-left corner of my patio;
she weaved it perfectly as Antonio
rose on his wobbling feet to reach it.
That boy didn't know that
spiders get vicious and suddenly bite
when someone tries to grab them for spite,
and Antonio tried to pull it down with a tiny twig...
no, it didn't work, so he tried again with a long stick;
oh, once a garden spider got stuck into his mom's wig!
" Antonio, put it down,
before it crawls onto your skin! "
The spider will bite you on the cheek
and you'll be doing the Tarantula Dance! "
I yelled by taking the stick away from him with extreme force.
" No, I like that spider...that's the one I want to keep! "
He rebelled with a grin, transforming himself into a beast.
" OK, you can keep it, but remember spiders creep! "
I warned him and told him to wear a mask and just peak.
The tarantula built a web where rain or storms
never soaked it, and scorching sun rays
never melted it...how laborious she was in summer's long days!
We watched it going to and fro searching for food for her little one
as we took daily videos and had fun watching them!
After all, I realized that a spider is not dangerous...if left alone;
and Antonio kept his distance by warning other boys
that trying to catch a tarantula is a very dangerous game!

Weather is poised to slap us into submission.
Threatening with the largest storm in history
To make us aware of her power to destroy
And yet, here on the cusp of history,
battened down
well stocked
Do I yet love Nature
With all of her wild and beautiful ways.
Her seas have been there for me in my times
Of Loss
And Need
Ever showing me the vastness of her being
She has ever been the Way
In all her present tense
My wilder spirit rises in answer to her challenges
Enhancing my life daily.

smoother than most, all moving no boast, shooting a moon to toast, to our beautiful host
revolving no doors, just opportunities score marking the entrance ways pores
balance implored
fracking a lack of communication crashing breaking backs and racking our foundation
till were screaming take it back
unpacked and all out, dig deep for the fall out, kettle blackened from potty mouths,
busted missing a tea spout
pour me a gallon of chandon the whole sip for your front lawn, till the bottles dry
like jokes from monty python
silly satans salivating sighing and spraying your favorite simon's saying cause piles of money and ego feed are waiting for the generating
nothing new under the sun but above clouds I found me some, cause ignant bliss still exists even if you wear a cummerbund
tell all your facts and try to catch my glazed eye, cause compromise can be the do or die, to where ever future lovers lie
this blueberry from space ferry might fit in a test tube in perspective
or we just miss the point why evolution was so selective

The wind blew events all over the place.
Intense emotions and it gave chase.
Lightning lighting to show us the sky.
People try to sleep and not cry.
Wisping by the wind keeps us awake.
The time trying to sleep the storms take.
Chills in everyone gives all shiver.
The clouds surrounded by moonlight is silver.
Heavenly prayers that the rain will stop.
The flood stopped a car the person in it was a cop.
People have seen such devastation.
The road that people made was week in creation.
Rivers near by was over flowing.
Trees that were there was not showing.
By the hour it claimed many.
My father woke up and did not see any.
Floating by was a boat.
Keeping people above water and a float.
My father kept a canoe.
That some day we would use it, that he knew.
Time to paddle up and down the street.
The rain water kept getting on our seat.
It was so dark after the moon was behind the cloud.
Still the noise of thunder still covered the ears loud.
The smell of moist water never seem to go away.
My brothers seem to still sleep anyway.
My head was bobbing up and down.
I was so tired that I could not hear a sound.
The wind blew back and fourth.
It seems that my mom and dad paddle their worth.
Till all the people we saw with grace.
Help us out with embrace.
The time was so late at night.
Everyone was so sleepy and losing sight.
The fight with the weather was so hectic.
The feelings of energy was electric.
Losing to such natural disaster is hard to understand.
When people working hard to block the river with bags of sand.
With hard workers like my mom and dad.
They make things happen that is not bad.
Rough with weather they experience more than ever.
Leaders they are they are very clever.
From the night light of street lights to the morning glow.
The wind did not stop so.
Bringing in more clouds that ill.
The people who were still tired still had will.
The rush of water and waves blasting push the wall side.
Pushing and the force brought water inside.
The battle of our hour was getting long.
Backup people came to aid us was strong.
Rested they were to keep everyone with hope.
The people stopped the water with the strength of rope.
Heavy rain and loss of homes bring people together.
It is kind of sad that this was the only time to gather.
Chaos comes happiness how true.
This is why we are human that gives us a clue.
It is our nature to keep rain falling.
To know when it is time for our calling.
The winds bring such pain and sorrow.
That is why rain sometimes fallow.

It was official. There would be no school today due to heavy snow. We heard it on the radio, during the early morning show, while Mom was preparing our breakfast. Mom sighed and dropped her head when it was announced while we danced with jubilation around the kitchen table shouting "No school today. We can play all day!!" Little did we know this excitement would be short-lived.
nose-prints frozen
on a windowpane---
snowflakes dance
A hearty breakfast was followed by watching some cartoons. The rest of the morning was spent playing in our rooms. The weather outside deteriorated into the afternoon as our morning's jubilant joy was soon depleted. Our longing to play outside was denied us and we found ourselves quickly bored. A day out or school was not meant to be stuck inside looking out at the falling snow…or so we deemed.

I stumble upon a river
the way it flows and feels
I take my shoes off and run threw it
laughing looking up towards the sun
I wake up and it was all just a dream
my sister runs up the stairs
she slams her door
i asked her what was wrong
she looked at me
She says "mom told me you were adopted"
at first i laughed as i thought it was a joke
I run downstairs to see my mom and dad sitting on the couch
"mom?" i say
she replies "its true we adopted you!"
she got up and walked into the kitchen
"after all this time i thought i was yours" i say
My father gets up and walks out the door
My mom lays her hand on her forhead
Just dont worry about it everything will be okay
"No it wont i say"
i felt fake like i wasnt who i was suppose to be
i just sat on my bed thinking about the whole thing
my whole life and who i should have been
I packed my bags that light and i ran away
leaving the less important things behind
i set out on a journey to find my real parents
I had my sister get there info. from my dads office
I took a bus to indiana and looked up there address
As soon as i found it i knocked on the door
A man opened the door
he said "who are you?"
i say "apparently i am your son?!"
"you put me up for adoption?" i repeat
He yells "ANNA!?, Some kid is here for you!"
i repeat the story to her as she denied it
She looked bruised and beaten up
I wanted to help her but the man hut the door on my face
I had no where to go now
So i started on a journey back home
But i never made it there
I found that old river i use to go too
i stayed there for a few weeks until
i remembered the way back.
I found myself that day
I realized that i was fake but now im not because i know that i am just me not any of them

What shall I say to her?
What if she knows?
Can she tell that I carry another soul?
As I wonder what would I tell mom...
All these thoughts paced through my head,
I should have NEVER laid in his bed...
Sweet nothings was ALL that he said...
He got what he wanted, then left, just fled...
I was weak a young victim a surely misled...
When I confessed to my mother,
That I had slept with my lover,
And in a few months she'd be a grandmother...
Her face turned cherry red, yet words where still unsaid...
Days turned into months,
My belly stuck out further in front...
Finally we spoke today,
She said "When is he due?"
I replied "This May the 8th."
She said "She loves me!"
That was it, nothing else to say but "I love you too mom, in a special way!"
For it will be a blessed Mothers Day...
My Statistic: Life is challenging enough, it tends to be even
Harder for adolescence because they don't
Know as much as they think they
Know in actuality they don't. But mistakes and accidents are
Apart of life.... You live and you learn...

In the woods of great greens and fast running streams are Trilliums growing in the late
Three white peddles with a hint of purple bloom, yet there are more colors where the
Trilliums bloom.
In the Forests and the woods floor, the Trilliums grow next to the great ferns of the great
Where everything drips with supple dew.
Everything is wet fresh and true.
The Johnny-Jump-ups came early this spring, nothing short of amazing are the sweet
Trilliums in bloom.
Awoke to the loud frogs croaking as if to remind one that spring is calling.
Then one could not sleep as the dew started falling.
There were once two girls that made a trip up on a hill every year at the same time.
Mayday was here and it was picking Trilliums in their prime.
If a May basket was not made in school, they would still pick large bouquets and surprise
their mom with them.
For those days are gone now and the girls have moved apart, but the memories of mom and
the Sweet Trilliums still warms this girls heart.

Mother used her third arm
for most everything,
her all-around solution
for problem solving.
Once, she used it to save
the life of a common toad.
The snake was guilty
of nothing more than a move
to assuage his hunger. He soon
fell victim to Mother's expertise
in wielding a hoe. As he slithered
along the cotton row, she chopped
him in two pieces just beyond
the bulge in his frame.
She then used her hoe
to push the frog out
toward light and freedom.
Mr. Toad sat for a time,
blinking in the sun,
then hopped back into his world.

Ah, had I been much wiser
and taken mom more seriously,
I wouldn't have called her a miserable whiner!
I shiver remembering my behavior so bizarre and childish,
and quite often I got punished
for hanging out with kids who were too fresh.
Mother screamed as a maddened woman saying,
"Get back in here and finish your homework! "
I did not listen and ran out not to keep them waiting.
My grades got worse, and mom's face was got bitter,
I tried to tell her how sorry I was,
but words got stuck in my throat and I reached for air.
All privileges were taken away from me,
every effort to mend my mistakes was unsuccessful...
I was only given warnings up to three.
My wistfulness to please mom was denied,
she stopped wishing me goodnight,
I saw in me that unruly child who constantly lied.
The intention of that pursued wish always remained:
to hug her and ask for forgiveness,
and would I have been given another chance instead?
And that happened on Christmas Eve while unwrapping my undeserved gifts,
I stood up and embraced her with all my strength...
as the conscience's voice returned, " Doesn't foolishness cause regrets? "

It's already hard enough to say anything accurately
without further obfuscating and camouflaging the soul.
The faces in the funeral pews are impassive, impatient
and the dead woman cares not what's said, isn't even present.
The poet gets innumerable do-overs, it's one of man's wonders,
revises his vision of his mother and plays her piano, posthumously.
Why not say it simply? Hers was a comity
and a tragedy, both. As are ours. And perform the history that surrounds
Are caskets boats? The ship of death rides Charon's waves
or perhaps on that solitary day you happily kayak to the huckleberries.
Is the deeper sadness incomplete achievement or never to have tried?
Any attempt to decide this question for others is to badly behave.
The pablum of Christianity, esp. the Catholics, re the after life
must be rejected. It's necessary. To be replaced by community,
perfection of the human project, nature's intelligent partner.
Dusty, sadly habitable houses along the funeral route, shapeless
people crossing themselves when ambulances or hearses pass.
I wanted to describe the sweetness of her life, how she was part
of the problem and part of the solution. How love and evolution
are passed like loaves from person to person down the generations.
Find the humor in the cholera. When my father died
he waved like a surfer riding a wave or a clown riding
an elephant out the circus tent. Mom follows the same law.
The many ways a spear can pierce a warrior's jawbone or armor.

A Day in the Sun
A good thought, a day in the sun,
such that allows joy to freely run,
**** the day blasts out memories fair.
**** Gentle breezes cruising bright air
**** as life sings on without a care.
**** A stir upon the lake down there,
**** two ducks dancing, O' what a pair
**** their art they very freely share.
**** Of our intrusion ducks so unaware
**** we watching silently not to scare.
Sweetest memories of family having fun
a fantastic break from life on the run!

Carefree and sunning,
Scenery stunning,
Relaxed feeling free,
Kids play in the sea.
Then people are screaming,
Pinch, am I dreaming?
Past me everyone runs,
I look for my sons.
They are not running,
Nature is cunning,
A tsunami wave,
God! I must run, save
My boys there, all three,
From danger, the sea
Is rising, towers,
Coming fast, powers.
Tall as a building,
There is no shielding
Them from the forceful
Sea, unremorseful,
As it races, alarming,
Must stop it harming,
Must rescue my boys
Before the wave destroys.
I push down my fear,
For to me it's clear
That as their mother
There is no other
That can save their lives.
So as everyone strives
To run out, away,
I race through the spray.
I run and I shout
To the boys to get out,
Then as I get near
I see my worst fear
Realised, the sea
Hits them, then hits me.
I'm fighting to swim,
The outlook seems grim.
As it roars, thunders,
Taking lives, plunders
Everything it reaches,
Waves rage across beaches.
I am sucked, pulled down
So deep, nearly drown,
Then tossed on a hill,
I'm thrown, alive still.
I look all around,
Move to higher ground.
Go out of my mind,
Panic till I find,
Amid debris and death,
My boys, out of breath
But safe, all nearby,
I hold them and cry.
I just can't believe,
Think my eyes deceive
Me, so many died,
Even though they tried
To run out, to live,
I ran in to give
Love like no other,
The love of a mother.

O my mom!
O my Bangladesh!
O my Bangladesh of Gold!
I love you mom I love you.
O my mom! Your sky and your air
Attract me like a flute-player!
O my mom!
O my Bangladesh!

I love you mom I love you.
O my mom!
In spring in mango gardens
I have smelt holy fragrance!
O my mom!

I love you mom I love you.
O my mom!
What have I seen in autumn?
Fields full of crops so handsome!
O my mom!
O my Bangladesh!
O my Bangladesh of Gold!
I love you mom I love you.
O the beauty and the shadow
Where my affection and love grow
Under the banyan trees and
On the shores of rivers that flow!
O my mom!
Your words are sweetest to me!
If you look pale and gloomy:
I shed tears in sympathy.
O my mom!
O my Bangladesh!
O my Bangladesh of Gold!
I love you mom I love you.
One time there was a little skunk
and he walked around
All of a sudden he noticed he was lost
of course this wasn't unusual
the only thing is that
he noticed the bears were sleeping
the bears were eating
the bears had a candle on
the bears were out at the same time
He thought that he could run home and tell his mom
that the bears were sleeping
the bears were eating
the bears had a candle on
but the mom didn't like bears
The skunk noticed that he wanted to drive
but he left his car at the gas station
so he walked back to the gas station
and drove away to the pond
and jumped in the pond
He gets found by his mother
and then his mother takes him home
and he sleeps in a quiet dream
and that's the end of the poem today.

Once there was a nest
high in a tree
where no one could even reach it
of course
In that tree was a little bird
who knew everything
that his mom said to do
because his mom said it in a way
that he could hear in his egg
For that, he giggled
when he hatched.
He was not able to fly
but he was able to walk
He walked to his mom
and they lived happily ever after
and never went anywhere without each other.
The End
My pigeon's nest had two squab
I could observe both to remain silent
Only until the mother arrived, as both rose to grab
As both jumped and became jubilant
One was more aggressive than the other
Other one too was happy but not forced the mother for a feed
Appetite you may adjudge, with the force of chasing the mother
Demanding feed from mother is an unwritten deed
One chased the mother to get more share
It looked as if there is a fight
Mother knows how much to spare
Once one's quota is fed, mother turns down outright
When she is forced, mother closes her mouth
Also shows an innocent face, as if food storage is emptied
While mother looks for the other, to offer by stealth
Former is not contended, though mother belied
The mother maintains more patience and maturity
Never gets perturbed on such chase game
Fairly and firmly she shows, in care and concern, parity
Former may, in a hurry, choose the mother to blame
Only mother knows what one needs!
Only to care you, god has become mother
Only with such sacred responsibility, mother breeds
Only motherhood is holy, to be revered ever higher!

you birth me in this world for a reason
you went through the pain
you struggled through life
you yelled and screamed pushed and cussed
you scrapped up money
when you needed it.
you stood beside me for a reason
so when i cry you catch my tears
when i fall you pick me up
when i need a hand to hold
youes is there

In November, New Hampshire's House Environment and Agriculture Committee voted 12-8 against a bill that would have required that food containing genetically modified ingredients be labeled. Even though the bill was not considered dead, it slowed the momentum gathering in the Northeast by other states that passed similar legislation but also required other contiguous states to approve similar measures.
This week, New Hampshire state Reps. Tara Sad and Bob Haefner issued a statement explaining why they opposed the measure to label GM ingredients in food. Rep. Sad is chairman of the House Environment & Agriculture Committee, and Rep. Haefner is ranking minority member of the committee.
The Representatives opposed the bill because they say there hasn't been any credible scientific study showing that GM food is harmful or different, and many legal experts have told them that the bill is unconstitutional and unenforceable. In addition, they are concerned that the court challenges to the bill, which many consider inevitable, would prove costly for the state.

Paris (Jul. 21)
President Georges Pompidou met for an hour today with Vice President Abdel Sallam Jaloud, of Libya. On leaving the Elysee Palace, Jaloud told newsmen that Libya and France are in "complete agreement" on most subjects. Maj. Jaloud has been described as the most outspoken and fanatical member of Libya's ruling military junta. Earlier this week he delivered a tirade against West Germany's friendly ties with Israel while a dinner guest of Foreign Minister Walter Scheel in Bonn. The Libyan assailed Scheel's recent visit to Israel while offering a toast. He warned his host, "Do not forget the huge economic market which the Arab world represents. No West European country can survive without it." He also vowed that "The Arabs will fight till Israel is destroyed even if it takes 20 years." Scheel, contrary to protocol, had to offer a second toast in which he made clear Bonn's position that Western Europe is united in its desire to have friendly relations with both Israel and the Arab world. Jaloud is scheduled to meet here with Defense Minister Michel Debre and Jean de Lipkovaky, the Undersecretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
