Captain America-The First Avenger July 15th
I thought (and the sign says) the 22nd? Harry Potter is the 15th.
They want to see their "uncle" in action! :thumb: ;)
Me too, lew!! :thumb:
Correct. July 22. The kids have a movie birthday party to go to for the Potter movie. July 15.
Ha! Um, no. I haven't seen a full Potter movie yet. I'm not against the movies they are just not my first choice of interest.
I will definately go see this on the big screen. (I guess at heart, I'm still an overgrown kid!)
Our Cap makes the movie one look likes he's moving in slow motion.
Ok the results are in.
And the survey says!......
It's a MUST see movie. I must admit it was better put together than I thought it would be. The story line was exceptionally close and the action was excellent. There was one part of the movie that I truly believe could have been done better. I won't give it away but I think the rest of the movie made up for the one little twitch. I would highly recommend going to see it if you have not already. Even my little girl, who wants to know why we always go see boy movies, thought it was really good.
I took my son this evening and we loved it. It was very well done.
Glad it did justice to the Captain America name.... :thumb: :hail:
Saw it, liked it! It's a combination "Indiana Jones," "Star Wars" and "Saving Private Ryan!"
I'll have to see if the little woman wants to go.
Looking at going today and trying to decide if we want to see it in 2D or 3D.
Save the money and go 2D. It was awesome and I can't think of just a handful of scenes that would benefit from 3D.

The Tribune-Star
A hip injury suffered by Indiana State ace starting pitcher Sean Manaea shuffled the Sycamores' starting rotation for the second weekend running as it opened a Missouri Valley Conference home series against Creighton on Friday.
After he pitched in last Sunday's series finale at Wichita State, Manaea did not start Friday and was saved for today's middle game of the series.
The pitching personnel have been scrambled, but it hasn't mixed-up the Sycamores.
Devin Moore saw to that.
ISU's Saturday starter had Friday-type stuff against the Bluejays. Moore struck out six and loomed large as the Sycamores notched a 6-1 victory on a chilly evening at Bob Warn Field.
"I'm just keeping this thing going. Sean will be back on Fridays soon, so I'm doing what I can help out," said Moore, who's been excellent all season as his ERA dropped to 2.34 after the victory.
ISU (15-13) won its third straight and got back to .500 in the MVC with a 5-5 mark.
Creighton, in first place entering the contest, fell into a three-way tie with Missouri State and Wichita State.
Moore threw 121 pitches in the contest, but 70 were for strikes and the senior was strong in his final frame as two of his strikeouts occurred in the seventh inning.
Moore's pitch count was up as he battled through inconsistent control early in the contest, but was able to fight through it.
"I thought he was great and the reason I thought it was great is he had to battle through some things tonight," ISU coach Rick Heller said. "He had some jams he had to work out of. He fell behind in the count, but he battled and took us deep into the game."
ISU's bats also continued their April revival. The Sycamores reached the 10-hit mark for the fourth-straight contest after they had struggled through the first third of the campaign. ISU was also patient as it drew five walks.
"Once the hits start coming the pressure on the hitters goes away. We're not pressing right now. We're going up there loose. It's helping out a lot," ISU first baseman Robby Ort said.
ISU never trailed in the contest. Jacob Hayes knocked in Cody Zimmerman in the first via a single off Creighton starter Tommy Strunc, who played for the Terre Haute Rex last season.
Creighton tied the game in the third, but the frame also might have included the play that pushed the Sycamores over the top.
With the bases loaded and no outs, Creighton's Jake Peter hard a sharp grounder up the middle. ISU shortstop Tyler Wampler made a diving stab, got on his feet for the force out at second, and threw to first on-time for a double play. The spectacular play helped limit Creighton's damage to one run.
"Tyler Wampler was outstanding. The play he made at shortstop tonight was probably the play of the game for us. He made a few others that were outstanding. The defense tonight was tremendous and it started with Wampler," Heller said.
The benefits were reaped in the bottom of the third. Landon Curry led off with a single and went to third on a steal and error. Koby Kraemer walked and Ort stepped up. On a 1-1 count, Ort pulled a hung slider over the trees down the right field line for a three-run home run.
It was Ort's first homer of the season, it was ISU's first round-tripper hit at Warn Field, and it was ISU's fourth of the season. The Sycamores led 4-1.
Creighton (18-7, 5-2) was de-fanged after its third inning near-miss and didn't threaten again. More excellent defensive play helped ISU's cause. Wampler had another diving stab on force out in the fifth. Second baseman Jordan Pearson and Moore teamed up for a nifty 4-1 putout in the seventh. ISU turned three double plays in the contest.
ISU tacked on two more runs with two outs in the seventh via a Hayes RBI groundout and Pearson RBI single.
The series resumes at 2 p.m. today as Manaea faces Creighton's Nick Musec.

At last, at long last, we have some real football to cover as teams are finally going to report this week. But there is a lot to do between now and Sept. 3, when South Carolina goes to N.C. State.
As always, the landscape changes between the end of spring practice and now. So we're going to spend the next few days looking at the most burning questions still surrounding the SEC and ACC as we head into two-a-days.
On the eve of preseason practice, here are my five burning questions about the SEC West:
1-The Alabama offensive line is going to eventually grow into a good unit. But will it happen in time for Virginia Tech? Head coach Nick Saban had a wonderful luxury last season. If the game seemed to be getting out of hand, he had the offensive line to just grind on people and re-establish control of the game. With three starters gone, including (Outland Trophy winner) Andre Smith and center Antoine Caldwell, there is much work to do for offensive line coach Joe Pendry. I really like LG Mike Johnson, who will be the bell cow of that unit. And there is talent there. But the offensive line really has to play with one heartbeat and I wonder how close this group will be on Sept. 5 when the Tide plays the ACC champs at the Georgia Dome?
2-What's the future for LSU QB Jarrett Lee? The quarterback position was pretty much a nightmare for LSU in 2008 but nobody's dreams were worse than those of Lee, a rising third-year sophomore. You really have to work at it to throw 16 interceptions, seven of which were returned for touchdowns. When I talked to coach Les Miles at SEC Media Days, he insisted that Lee is in the mix with sophomore Jordan Jefferson, who finally grew up and took over at the end of last season. But does Lee really come all the way back from last year's disaster, especially with highly-touted recruit Russell Shepard waiting in the wings? I think we'll find out in the first few scrimmage if Lee is going to be a factor.
3. How important is the NCAA's decision to allow Broderick Green to be immediately eligible to play? This is huge-literally-for Arkansas. One of the problems a year ago is that the offense had to rely too much on running back Michael Smith, who is generously listed on the roster at 5-7, 176. Smith had 207 carries last season (for 1,072 yards) but by the end of the season he was beat up. Smith was also not a good goal-line option. Green (6-2, 248), an Arkansas native, got 32 carries for 168 yards and three touchdowns at Southern Cal in 2008. The NCAA granted him a waiver (sick grandmother) and last week he was declared eligible to play this fall. Now Arkansas has a power running game to complement Smith, which means that Ryan Mallett's play-action passing game will be even more effective. This is a very important development for Arkansas, who I think can be a bowl team in Bobby Petrino's second season.
4-What about that Auburn offensive line? Any chance they can stay healthy? While the whole world is worried about the starting quarterback-because it doesn't appear that Auburn has one-it ain't gonna matter much if the Tigers get a couple of offensive line injuries in preseason. The first unit, which includes proven players like LT Lee Ziemba and RG Bryon Isom, can play at the SEC level. But if anybody gets hurt, OC Gus Malhzan told me, then this offense will go into a scramble mode. I watched this happen at Georgia last season after LT Trinton Sturdivant got knocked out for the season early. It is not fun and it's an aggravation new head coach Gene Chizik does not need.
5-Ole Miss finally cut signee Jamar Hornsby loose. Is that good karma or bad karma going into preseason practice? Hornsby may have set some kind of record by managing to get himself kicked off of two SEC teams in the space of two years. You might remember Mr. Hornsby. He was the guy who took the credit card of the dead girlfriend of Gator Joe Haden and ran up $3,000 in gasoline charges. After Hornsby did a stint in junior college, Ole Miss coach Houston Nutt signed him last February. Jamar was so overjoyed at his second chance in life that he proceeded to get arrested on felony assault charges on March 1. Nutt was going to let the legal system run its course, but last Friday Hornsby was indicted on the charges and Ole Miss decided they had better cut their losses. Something like this probably has no impact on the rest of the team. But this summer we have also had a near-tragic auto accident involving RB Dexter McCluster, the Rebels' most versatile offensive player, and DE Greg Hardy, their best defensive player. Do you believe in bad karma? Just asking.
Tomorrow we will take a look at the SEC East.

Yeah, Saban did lose to UAB his first year at LSU. He has a knack for that. The Iowa loss was on the last play too but he has a knack for lossing bowl games anyways. In last years Troy game, LSU could have called it a game after the 3rd quarter but they didn't. They showed a heart of true champions and came back to win. I don't really remember Bama coming back to beat many teams over the years do you?
I remember the Bama game very well. I still see D. Byrd flailing around trying to either catch the ball or knock it down as he was standing in the middle of 3 or 4 Bama defenders before getting crushed. That play turned into an INT inside the 30. You seem to have forgotten that. For every Bama miscue LSU matched it. And yes, I do remember Peterson getting dragged, it was ugly. That's ok though, this year the ball wont even make it to Jones (that was sarcasim, Jones is the man).
As for the record crowd, we were just welcoming our old coach back. Had it not been for Saban, the crowd would have been an average crowd. However, you make it out to be a big deal that there was a record crowd there. In truth there were probably only 100 or so more people there above the average and they were probably Bama fans anyways.
August 3rd, 2009
3:37 pm
Ahhh! It was only a matter of time I suspect before you would go digging up the bear. Only rival fans like you refuse to realize the man has been dead something like 26 years now. His last year at Bama was 1982 or 1983 I think Seems we still were whupping you in your own house for another 20 years after that so why would you start digging up the bear? What's he got to do with anything if he's been dead 26 years?
What was LSU before Saban resurrected that program. 8 losing seasons in 11 years before Saban got there? Is that right? Sorry dude but in the myriad number of coaching changes since the bear I don't ever remember us having losing seasons 8 of 11 years. That is truly pathetic no matter how bad the coaching. Now that the last of Saban's players are finally gone I see LSU going back to its accustomed position in the basement.
Miles reminds me of Larry Coker at Miami. He won a national title in 01 and played for another in 02 with Butch Davis's upper classment. Then as Davis players gradually filtered through Miami dropped horribly despite good recruiting classs and well, we know the rest of the story. Strange how it parallels Miles going 7-5 his first year after that stellar senior class of 07 that Saban recruited to LSU. Looks like history as already started repeating itself.
History will repeat itself also in that we will go back to our usual, customary dominance of you which existed well after the bear left. The only time you've ever dominated was in the mid 2000s when we were playing with 21 fewer players. Heck, everyone was beating us. Its a little harder to beat us now that we are back at full strength as you found out last year.
You can bring up La-Monroe all you want if all you can do is live vicariously through other teams which is just plain sad. Its actually kinda funny to me too though and I don't mind it being brought up.
Last, if you're going to dominate us and the west you might want to start thinking about winning more than a paltry 3 sec games this year. And if you lose at least show some pride and some fight. Don't let teams continually rack up over 50 pts on you. Hard to believe that you guys can win only 3 conference games, get blown out in 3 of those 5 losses, and then talk smack about dominating. Absolutely amazing you are!
August 3rd, 2009
3:43 pm
Charlotte Gator, I thought he got the automatic raise to $1 above the highest paid coach in the SEC and at least 3rd highest in the land.. But I am not certain on that.
August 3rd, 2009
3:49 pm
Its been fun trading barbs with you but I think I'll actually get back to doing some work and let some of the other guys have at it. Besides, I get the feeling that the other guys probably are growing weary of our ongoing debate. Nothing wrong with some spirited smack talk. Its all in good fun.
I will leave you with one good bit of advice. Leave the bear out of it. The man has been dead 26 years and most bama fans don't even remember him. You would have to be 40 years old to vividly remember any of his games as a 14 year old teenager. When you revert to bringing up the bear it seems you're really reaching. Just an opinion since most Bama fans today rarely even bring up the bear among themselves since most of us aren't even old enough to remember him.

Tide has something that the rest of the SEC does not have….
August 3rd, 2009
4:11 pm
HAHA. Oh Tide Rising. You are the one who continually brings up stats from the Bear days. You have to dig up stats from 40 years back to make Bama look good. I only used his name. LSU has one down year while Bama has one good year and all of a sudden LSU is in a downward spiral while Bama is top dog again. Right, I get it. And you need to talk to more Bama fans or listen to Bama radio. All I hear is crap about Bear. It's sickening. Bama fans still live in the Bear days. You may not but the majority do. If I am to leave Bear out of the conversation, you must not bring up stats from the '60's and you must recognize LSU's accomplishments of this decade. Which you do not. You're such a homer that you cannot even face that fact that Bama has blown chunks most of this decade, probation or not. You can't simply forget about an entire decade of football. We haven't even talked about the late 90's have we? Were was bama? On the way down!!!! Sure LSU sucked, I fully and rightfully admit that. I also rightfully admit the ownage Bama showed LSU throughout the '60's and 70's. but you, you my friend see through Crimson colored glasses.
I also find it humorious that you dig up stats from the past 40 years of Bama football while dismissing anything LSU did between 2000 and 2007. LSU won 2 National Championships during that span. 3 SEC Championships. 7-2 in Bowl games and something like 7-1 against Bama. You say Bama was on probation, yet again I ask, isn't Bama always on probation? You ignored that in the last debate we had.

Charlotte Gator, never mind you are correct on that. He needs another title, fast.

If Saban were an animal what kind of animal would he be? Guess if he is going to be there a while we need to give him a nickname. The Bear was classic, what can we call Nick?

In regards to the "Do you believe in bad karma? Just asking." sentence in Mr. Barnhardt's article, I believe in it and it's due for Nutt, who is still running from it after getting off scot-free at Arkansas.
Nutt is due up some bad Karma and I'm hoping it hits him this year, his only chance to ever sniff success at Ole Piss.

As a UGA fan I was enjoying Tide Rising doing his part to continue the tradition of Bama beating up on LSU.

Alabama was supposed to be great last year? Most people were predicting 7 or 8 wins…a few 9.
The OL was not supposed to be great last season, and the QB was considered a liability going into the season…much like this year, only this team has more depth.
Nice revisionist history.
Saban inherited a train wreck and has turned the Tide faster than anyone thought possible. The Tide may not be NC contenders this season, but they will be very good. In 2010 Bama will be hard to handle.

Those were the best questions you could come up with?
Does Arkansas have a defense?
Is Jevan Snead really a higher draft pick projection than Tebow?
How does that Auburn chop-blocking lineman stay eligible?
Is LSU's Jefferson the real deal? Can he take it to the next level?
Does MSU have the talent to run a spread attack?
How is the new Bama safety going to do at 180 lbs. dripping wet?
Not great questions either, but I'm tryin…

I can't believe that Houston Nutt waited as long as he did to pull the plug on Jamar Hornsby.
Also, LSU's quarterbacking HAS to be better this year, although that's not saying much. I wouldn't expect anything productive from Jefferson or Lee. If I were an LSU fan, I'd be happy just to not get game-killing mistakes from them.

The tide won't be rebuilt in time for Va Tech, but Alabama has something to prove after the Sugar Bowl performance, or lack thereof.
Jarrett Lee, will play and then sit. He will be a great back-up and will be used that way.
Auburn will suffer on line, but they will adapt and will be a real surprise in the SEC west
Arkansas gets a great boost, but they still need a defense
Ole Miss, Houston Nutt signed too many and waited too long to cut folks. He is a good coach, but the teams will be ready for him this year.
Gators will be close to winning it all, alot depends on Jax, and LSU

[...] Five burning questions about the SEC West As always, the landscape changes between the end of spring practice and now. So we're going to spend the next few days looking at the most burning questions still surrounding the SEC and ACC as we head into two-a-days. On the eve of preseason practice, here are my five burning questions about the SEC West: 1-The Alabama offensive line is going to eventually grow into a good unit. But will it happen in time for Virginia Tech? 2-What's the future for LSU QB Jarrett Lee? 3. How important is the NCAA's decision to allow Broderick Green to be immediately eligible to play? 4-What about that Auburn offensive line? Any chance they can stay healthy? 5-Ole Miss finally cut signee Jamar Hornsby loose. Is that good karma or bad karma going into preseason practice? [...]

really Tony, those are your 5 burning questions. Give me a break. I have 5 for LSU alone and none of which involves the backup QB. Come on Tony, your SEC East bias clearly shows.

why do these things all ways end up with 2 ppl actin like little children! well lsu sucks well bama still talks about the bear… give me a break! haha bama had a great season last yr cant take that away! they did lose the bowl game but thats bc the utah off was no slouch they shocked bama with 3 big plays. bama actually came back and got control of the game just a little to late! bama will prolly win 8 or 9 this yr their back up is not that bad! lsu is a team with alot of great players but much like my au tigers they lack in key skill positions! aus line will be fine! they just needed a yrs worth of butt whoopins to get some exp! trotter in my mind would have started this yr but with the injury we will never know! im praying that rollinson lives up to the hype and we start a true freshman! never liked burns caudle is to inexp and todd just flat out sucks (yes i know he was "100″% last yr) but the fact is he isnt what au needs! ole miss lost some key players to injury as well and prolly will go 500. just remember au loves being the underdog! last yr we were highly touted and blew our nuts! in the yrs past when we were supposed to be avg. we had great seasons! hopefully history repeats itself!haha all in all florida is just to stacked all over the field! they win the sec and prolly yet another national title!

I think this is the way things will pan out in the SEC West in 2009:
1)Ole Miss
5)Mississippi State
6)Auburn(Worst Auburn team since 1999)

Your SECwest ranking is exactly how SI.com's PreSeason 120-team ranking has it. And you/they may be right
But I don't think so. Being especially tuned into Rebel Nutts and Hog Pets, I believe you'll see a roll reversal there in '09. I could say much more, but only have time to put out there a couple rankings I recently determined. I didn't set out to predict the '09 SECwest; instead the New Order of things over say the next five years chiefly in the Top Half of the conference + 2.
First, going into the 10 year of this decade, here is the W-L rankings of shall we say this passing decade (The Old Order):
Ole Miss
Next, predictions for The New Order:
Ole Miss
SECwest: And finally, my instincts for 2009, based upon the thinking that led to the above:
Ole Miss
Mississippi State
I guess this'll stir things up!

Love. Love. Love this stuff. It is the only bodywash I've tried that if I'm in too big a hurry to put on lotion, my skin doesn't feel tight and dry - even in the winter. It lathers nicely and yet leaves skin moisturized. I think that's all you can ask for in body wash.

I got this free with a coupon and have been back and forth on using it. I like certain things about it and there are certain things I do not like about it. This does do a good job moisturizing my skin without leaving it greasy. If I am in a rush and use this I can skip my normal lotion after my shower. So that is definitely a plus. The scent is alright. Sometimes I like it and sometimes I think it is a bit odd. I would prefer something a little girly. I think Olay was trying to make this seem like skincare for the body so they tried to keep it less flowery. This is great for the winter when my skin is so parched. I am not a fan of the packaging. I find it a little hard to squeeze all of the product out and the product flip lid is hard to open with wet hands. I will probably continue using this, but I will go back and forth between this and some others.

Let me start off by saying TRY THIS BODY WASH ONLY IF YOU'RE WITH ALL THE STATEMENTS FROM BELOW
1. Dry - Very Dry Skin ( not Sensitive )
2. Smell is not a matter and
3.No problems with mineral oil or petrolatum
Got it in a sample size from walmart.com since i read mixed reviews of this body wash..It did moisturize my winter dry skin like NO OTHER body wash could ...
But Seriously what's up with the Smell .? Even the Dove 's Sensitive skin body wash and J & J 's Natural body wash with ' Allerfree ' fragrance , smell much much better than this ...Not pleasing at all .
Like everybody else said, it also makes the tub slippery
I don't usually like my free stuff to be done with soon...But this sample lasted for a week and i wanted to finish it off quickly...
I've had good lucks with so many Olay products ,but not a fan of this one...A couple of times when it came out new , I saw these on the Health & Beauty aisle in walmart ..and the next time it's already gone into the clearance section .

This product is not worth anything the commercials boast, even if Kim Cattrall does advertise it. I'm 40 and thought I would try it, and it's just not a good body wash. My biggest complaint is the way it left the shower...I nearly slipped and killed myself the next time I got in! It leaves a VERY slippery surface. And though I keep a clean bathroom, I don't scrub my shower after every single use. Beware of the oily surface this leaves for sure!
The body lotion, however, is worth a try. I recommend it!

This body wash doesn't seem to do anything extraordinary - it moisturizes my skin, but so do plenty of others - and it has an unpleasant sort of 'dirty hair' smell beneath the more obvious fragrance.

OK so I'm 19 going on 20 so I wanted to start using these anti-aging products as soon as I could before it was too late. Ugh... I should have checked the smell before buying this. I CAN'T STAND IT! Reminds me of grandma. Will never buy this again.

I only used up a free sample, but while I was using that, my skin had never looked and felt better!!!
It was so soft and silky...and the little bumps on the backs of my arm vanished while using this.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this body wash!!!
The smell can be over powering, but I like it.
This is the best body wash I have ever used.
Extemely moisturizing...reccommended to EVERYONE who wants beautiful soft, smooth summer skin.

Let me first say that I've not actually tried this product (I know...I hate reviews like this too...I did smell, etc. in store, but didn't purchase), but I'm just so surprised to see Olay use Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in a *new* product!?!?!
I don't know if the concentration is high enough, but it's now common knowledge that SLS (not to be confused with Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is a skin irritant and to be avoided. It's listed 5th on the ingredient list, which is enough for me to avoid this product completely.

Wow...incredibly moisturizing body wash! I tried a samples a few months ago and could not wait until this came out in stores (Normally don't get excited about body wash! Makeup yes, body wash, no!). This stuff makes my skin feel literally like silk! Probably would not recommend this for someone who gets breakouts on their body, but for dry or normal skin this is unbelievable! Makes your skin feel as if you have used a rich body lotion.

Quite possibly the city's best kept secret, the Queens Farm Museum held its 28th Annual County Fair this weekend in conjunction with the Historical House Trust of New York City's Movable Feast, a tour of the city's history through various culinary festivities across the five boroughs. The Queens Farm Museum celebrated with everything from pony rides to medieval reenactments to a corn maze. With so many attractions, even the pickiest of kids were guaranteed to find something they loved.
Each feature of the fair was divided into eight areas. In area one, you could stop to admire the blue ribbon winners from a number of different categories, from jams and pies, peppers, and even parakeets. Area two, possibly the most popular of the areas, is where you could find the midway, full of carnival rides and games. The vendors, magic shows, pig racing, arts and crafts, and food were in area three. Live music was playing all day on the Main Stage in area four, complete with hay bale seats, reminding you that you were in fact visiting the city's only working historical farm. Areas five and six comprised of the farm's animals, including their petting zoo, and pony rides. Area seven was dedicated to Oktoberfest, currently being held over in Germany. Here, you could listen to live German music and munch on authentic German food. Finally, area eight was the home of The Amazing Maize Maze, where families carried colored flags as they tried to find their way out of the tall stalks of corn.
For a great outing with your family, the Queens Farm Museum is a must see. Open year round and offering free admission on non-event days, it is both an educational and fun way to spend the day.
For more upcoming events at the Farm Museum check out their site here.

My laboratory studies how nuclear transport and signal transduction control the compartmentalization and activity of transcription factors, particularly in the context of prostate cancer. A major focus of these studies is the androgen receptor (AR), a steroid hormone receptor critical for prostate cell growth. AR must undergo nuclear import in order to function as a transcription factor, a process that is normally regulated by androgen. There is compelling evidence, however, that AR acquires the ability to undergo androgen-independent import in advanced prostate cancer. Defining the underlying transport mechanism might reveal new strategies to inhibit AR activity in proliferating prostate cells. AR undergoes cycles of nuclear import and export (nucleocytoplasmic shuttling). While nuclear export would be expected to provide an effective mechanism for terminating a transcriptional response to androgen, we have recently found that AR translocation to the cytoplasm is important for its activity in the nucleus. This apparent paradox may reflect an undefined step in AR maturation, or crosstalk between AR and signal transduction pathways in the cytoplasm. My laboratory is interested in the mechanisms responsible for protein and RNA transport between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Transport between these compartments is mediated by the nuclear pore complex, a supramolecular assembly of proteins organized into an elaborate channel that spans the double membrane system of the nuclear envelope. The nuclear pore complex mediates bi-directional movement of proteins and RNA by facilitated transport pathways. Both import and export pathways involve shuttling receptors that recognize specific targeting signals contained within the protein or RNA cargo. Receptor-cargo complexes are rapidly translocated through the central gated channel of the nuclear pore complex over a distance of more than 100 nanometers. Receptors are then recycled to the original compartment for a new round of transport. Interactions between receptors, cargo, and the nuclear pore complex are controlled by several types of regulators, including the Ran GTPase and its effector proteins.
AR is the target of multiple kinases, and we have generated phosphosite antibodies to study the pathways and functions of phospho-regulation. In the course of these studies we discovered a novel mechanism for loading protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) onto AR. The loading mechanism requires small t antigen, a product encoded by SV40 that binds and alters the structure of a PP2A subunit. Current experiments are aimed at defining the structural basis of the PP2A loading reaction, as well as determining the cellular factors that mediate PP2A loading onto AR in untransformed cells.
Translocation of AR through the NPC relies on three features common to most nuclear transport pathways: (i) the use of nuclear import or export signals; (ii) the recognition of these signals by receptors that mediate translocation through the NPC; and (iii) RanGTPase-dependent assembly and disassembly of transport complexes. The signals that specify nuclear import and export of AR, the receptors that mediate AR translocation, and the role of the RanGTPase in AR transport are all under investigation in my laboratory. This analysis includes a Mog1, a nuclear protein that regulates the GTPase cycle of Ran.

Last week on Scandal, ABC's weekly orgy of sex, murder and political corruption, former White House communications director Olivia Pope (Kerry Washington) was hired – and later fired – by Congresswoman Josephine Marcus (Lisa Kudrow), who is seeking the Democratic nomination for the Presidency. Later, Pope is summoned to White House, where First Lady Mellie Grant (Bellamy Young) proposes that she run her old boss' re-election campaign. "He doesn't have the will to run, let alone win, without you," she says. "You're everything to him. He needs you." Now, the drama continues in this exclusive clip from this week's episode. In the scene above, Mellie storms enthusiastically into the Oval Office to tell President Fitzgerald Grant (Tony Goldwyn) and Chief of Staff Cyrus Beene (Jeff Perry) that Olivia is coming over – which must mean she's made up her mind about the re-election effort. Or does it?
See Why Aziz Ansari Picked Scandal as His Favorite TV Show
Scandal fans are absolutely ravenous about their favorite show, as evidenced by the program's success on Twitter. The premiere episode, which aired on Thursday, October 3rd, drew 10.5 million viewers who tweeted nearly 713,000 times, reaching an additional audience of 3.7 million according to Nielsen. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Tony Goldwyn said all that action keeps the Grant administration on their toes. "You can interact with your fans as it's happening," he says, "and that's exciting. It makes it more of an event that people want to be a part of." As for whether or not his marriage will last another season, his television wife says it best: "[Mellie] loves Fitz, but it's her Achilles heel and her downfall. She would be so much better if she could let it go. Only deep passion could keep you in something so miserable."

Nixon goes to China
The phrase "Nixon goes to China", "Nixon to China", or "Nixon in China"[1] is a historical reference to United States President Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to the People's Republic of China, where he met with Chairman Mao Zedong. The metaphor is often expressed as the observation "Only Nixon could go to China" or "It took Nixon to go to China".
As a political metaphor, it refers to the ability of a politician with an unassailable reputation among his supporters for representing and defending their values to take actions that would draw their criticism and even opposition if taken by someone without those credentials. Although the example is that of a hardliner taking steps toward peace with a traditional enemy, and this is the most common application of the metaphor, it could also be applied to a reputedly cautious diplomat defying expectations by taking military action, or a political leader reforming aspects of the political system of which they have been strong supporters.
Nixon's visit to China was of particular significance because it marked the beginning of a process of thawing in Sino-American relations — the two countries had been estranged for many years, as the U.S. was ardently anti-Communist and refused to recognize its government (maintaining relations with the anticommunist Republic of China in Taiwan to that point), and China had viewed the United States as its top enemy. Because Nixon had an undisputed reputation of being a staunch anti-Communist, he was largely immune to any criticism of being "soft on Communism" by figures on the right of American politics.
The phrase originated prior to Nixon's actual visit to China. An early use of the phrase is found in a December 1971 U.S. News & World Report interview with then-United States Senate Democratic Leader Mike Mansfield, in a section summary lead that read "'Only a Nixon' Could Go to China". The actual quote from Mansfield (which he prefaces by noting he had heard it said before) was "Only a Republican, perhaps only a Nixon, could have made this break and gotten away with it."[2]
Popular culture[edit]
A popular use of the expression came in the 1991 film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, where "only Nixon could go to China" is quoted by Spock as "an old Vulcan proverb". In the context of the film, it is given as a reason why James T. Kirk, a character with a history of armed conflict with the Klingons and a personal enmity for them, should escort their chancellor to Earth for peace negotiations with the Federation.
Similar historical events[edit]
- Author and historian Zachary Karabell compared U.S. President Chester Arthur reforming the civil service system (in the early 1880s) to Nixon going to China, since Arthur himself was a product of the spoils system and yet he was the one who helped get rid of it (with the Pendleton Act).[3][4]
- U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower's (a former World War II general) confronting the military-industrial complex.[5]
- U.S. President Lyndon Johnson (a southerner from Texas) pushing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 through the U.S. Congress.[5]
- The actions of Israeli right-wing Likud Prime Ministers Menachem Begin (in giving up the Sinai Peninsula in exchange for peace with Egypt in 1979) and Ariel Sharon (in withdrawing from the Gaza Strip in 2005) are sometimes considered Nixon-to-China moments.[6]
- U.S. President Bill Clinton reforming the welfare system in the United States.[7]
- Jim Hoagland for the Eugene Register-Guard compared U.S. President George W. Bush's embrace of multilateralism on Iraq in late 2002 as a Nixon-to-China moment.[8] Some people likewise considered George W. Bush's nuclear deals with North Korea (whom he declared to be part of the Axis of Evil in 2002) in 2007 and with India in 2008 to be Nixon-to-China moments.[9][10]
- U.S. President Barack Obama embracing Social Security reform in 2011.[5]
- On June 28, 2012, the U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts joined the liberal wing of the Court to uphold the constitutionality of Obama's health care reforms. Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer called Roberts' decision "judiciary's Nixon-to-China".[11]

Description: FBI "The Vault" Guy Hottel Document : Document sates a special agent in charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, who sent a memo concerning flying saucers to the FBI's director in March 1950. "An investigator for the Air Force stated that three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico," according to the memo dated March 22, 1950. "They were described as being circular in shape with raised centers, approximately 50 feet in diameter. Each one was occupied by three bodies of human shape but only 3 feet tall, dressed in metallic cloth of a very fine texture. Each body was bandaged in a manner similar to the blackout suits used by speed flyers and test pilots. "According to Mr. Guy Hottel, the saucers were found in New Mexico due to the fact that the Government has a very high-powered radar set-up in that area and it is believed the radar interferes with the controlling mechanism of the saucers.

Marcos Human Rights Class Suit
June 28, 2012
Robert Swift and Rod Domingo, JR.
On Tuesday the New York Court of Appeals ruled that its courts would not adjudicate a lawsuit by Filipino victims of human rights violations seeking $42 million of Marcos assets which have been in New York for 40 years. The Republic of the Philippines (ROP) had opposed the victims by asserting it was an indispensable party but invoked its sovereign immunity to prevent any adjudication. The victims have recovered little on their $2 billion judgment against the Estate of Marcos chiefly because of opposition from the Republic.
In 2009 the victims had levied on a Marcos account created at Merrill Lynch in 1972 in New York where the original deposit of $2 million deposit grew to its current $42 million. The Republic was not a party but used Philippine National Bank (PNB) to intervene and argue for it that the case could not proceed because the Philippine government was indispensable and invoked sovereign immunity. The trial court denied the objection but the Court of Appeals disagreed.
The New York Court's Opinion – which was a dismissal without prejudice of the lawsuit — leaves the victims and the Philippine government in a stalemate. The victims cannot proceed even though they have established their priority to the Marcos funds under New York law. And the Republic cannot recover the Marcos funds without litigating in New York. If the Republic litigates in New York, its claim is likely barred by the statute of limitations. If the Republic does nothing, the New York Court voiced that it would allow a lawsuit by the victims to proceed.
"This administration shares with the Arroyo administration a vindictiveness to the victims of Marcos' cruelty" said lead counsel Robert Swift. "It has never compensated the victims and spends millions of dollars on lawyers to prevent the victims from receiving compensation. Many of these victims are now old and in poor health. One is left to wonder whether this administration has a moral compass."
Lawyer Rod Domingo, Jr., co-counsel of Robert Swift, commented: "It is frustrating that while the government cannot legally get hold of the Marcos assets, despite its vast resources and millions of dollars paid to foreign lawyers, it has only successfully blocked the recovery of the $42 Million stashed in Merrill Lynch New York. The present government, as the past ones, had argued against the interest of the victims asserting the gobbledygook doctrine of sovereign immunity. But all is not lost. The dismissal is without prejudice. The Arelma case is not over, meaning to say, it can be re-filed at the opportune time. Other legal remedies are available. There is the pending litigation in the Singapore court involving at least $25 Million which may soon be decided. The other expected recovery against the Marcos estate is the enforcement in the Philippines of the foreign judgment of Judge Manuel Real pending before the Regional Trial Court of Makati City, where the class plaintiffs had already rested. The continuation of trial is set on August 1 and 20.

The stock, valued at $11.7 billion, nearly trebled last year, easily beating an 81 percent gain on the main index.
Rate hike could hit SME sector
The small and medium enterprises (SME) sector, which accounts for almost 45 percent of India's manufacturing output and 40 percent of its exports, is hoping the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will keep its key rates unchanged in its policy review on January 29.
Last year had been shaky for the SME sector, but with the course of time and government intervention it regained its foothold in the market.
HCL Tech drops over 5 pct
Shares in Software services firm HCL Technologies dropped on Monday as the company missed forecasts with quarterly profit dragged down a fifth by declining other income, forex losses and higher costs.

The MTV Video Music Awards are one of the three major pop music awards events of the year. The awards will be telecast live from Radio City Music Hall in New York, Sunday, September 13, 2009 on MTV.
My predictions are simply that...predictions. It will be up to the voters to choose the actual winners. My predicted winner in each category is in bold type. I have included comments on each nominee. I am making predictions only in the 5 top award categories. Check the full listing of nominations to see who is up for awards in every category.
Best Male Video
- Eminem - "We Made You" - Eminem's video for "We Made You" seems just too close to being a parody of past hits like "Without Me." We can still crack a smile here and there, but the originality is gone.
- Jay-Z - "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" - It came out too late, but "Run This Town" is a much stronger video achievement for Jay-Z. This doesn't look like the year for Hova.
- Ne-Yo - "Miss Independent" - Ne-Yo could squeak in to a victory. With his sharp style of dressing, almost every Ne-Yo video looks elegant.
- T.I. (featuring Rihanna) - "Live Your Life" - It seems like ages since the single first came out, but "Live Your Life" is still stunning. I suspect there will be some sympathy voting for Rihanna as well, and I look for T.I. to walk home with the trophy.
- Kanye West - "Love Lockdown" - In terms of artistic daring, Kanye's video for "Love Lockdown" would be a shoo-in. However, watching it is still a rather confusing experience.
Female Artist of the Year
- Beyonce - "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" - Even in an exceptionally strong category this year Beyonce's video is a standout. This dance clip was in instant classic inspiring both a Saturday Night Live parody and a famous attempt at the dance by one of the Jonas Brothers. This will be a video watched for years to come.
- Kelly Clarkson - "My Life Would Suck Without You" - Kelly Clarkson made a strong return, but the video isn't stunning which is what it takes to win this category this year.
- Lady GaGa - "Poker Face" - There should be a special award simply for the visual of Lady GaGa emerging from the water in this clip. However, that one segment isn't enough to carry the entire video to victory.
- Katy Perry - "Hot and Cold" - Katy Perry videos are always fun, and "Waking Up In Vegas" was even better than this. Brilliant color and humor make this a well-deserved nomination.
- Pink - "So What" - I'm not sure any pop artist has really given a more entertaining video sendoff to their marriage than Pink does here.
- Taylor Swift - "You Belong With Me" - Hands down, Taylor Swift wins the title for cutest video of the year. This is a charming mini-film about a teen romance.
Best Pop Video
- Beyonce - "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" - This video exhibits all that a pop video should be. It's a catchy song, great dancing, and you are riveted on the star Beyonce from beginning to end.
- Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester - "Good Girls Go Bad" - Cobra Starship finally had their pop breakthrough this year, but it isn't powerful enough to stop the Beyonce bandwagon.
- Lady GaGa - "Poker Face" - This video is filled with some of the more memorable pop images of the year, and Lady GaGa is certainly the breakout artist of the year. However, the video simply doesn't hold up all the way through as the best.
- Britney Spears - "Womanizer" - This is one of the very best videos of Britney Spears' career. As such it could very well give Beyonce a run for her money.
- Wisin and Yandel - "Abusadora" - This is the first Spanish language video ever nominated in this category. That alone makes this appearance a triumph, but not quite enough oomph to win the category.

Now we know how much the eight month delay in the tolling of the State Route 520 Bridge is going to cost the vendor Electronic Transaction Consultants -- the tolling contractor has settled with the state for $6.4 million.
"This settlement covers our costs due to the late start of tolling," said Craig Stone, Toll Division director for the Washington State Department of Transportation. "This was a challenging and complex process that resulted in a fair outcome for everyone, including drivers, taxpayers and the state."
According to the press release by the Washington State Department of Transportation, the settlement includes the cost of the delays, lost revenue, and extra WSDOT and consultant staffing. Electronic Transaction Consultants noted that the settlement also addresses ETC Corporation's claims against WSDOT for changes in scope and schedule delays.
"Throughout the project, ETC Corporation has worked as a true partner with WSDOT to deliver one of the industry's most advanced toll systems, going above and beyond the scope of the contract to support WSDOT and its Good To Go! program," Tim Gallagher, ETC's CEO, stated in a prepared statement.
"Now that we have reached this settlement, both ETC Corporation and WSDOT can focus on the future and continuing to provide superior systems and customer service to Good To Go!customers," he said.
In the past year, tolling was beseiged with issues on the 520 bridge and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
The 520 Bridge tolls started . The toll originally . The state also lost revenue from the Tacoma Narrows toll because of many toll infractions , according to the state.
Motorists say that problems continue with the system. :
The tolling system has NOT gone smoothly......I have two vehicles...and use them both to cross the bridge. In June I got a bill in the mail from good-to-go for 245.00...all of it late fees. I was stunned, as I pay my bills literally the moment I open them. Then, to make matters worse, I got 2 bills on my other car..one for 268.10, the other for 268.00. I was beyond stunned...and even the people at the good to go office could not figure it all out. Somewhere somehow the state is messing up the system....this will come close to putting me under......
A Seattle Times reporter also got a toll bill for a car that she sold.
Electronic Transactions Consultant's original five-year contract with WSDOT was for $23 million, according to the state.
$2.4 million of the settlement is a result of the reduction of monthly payments to the vendor, WSDOT reported. The state also paid reduced its payments to ETC in 2011, saving $1.5 million.
The state may also be able to operate the toll without the company in the future. WSDOT also receives a license for ETC's software as part of the settlement, which would enable the state to operate the related software and background documents necessary to operate the statewide tolling customer service center and manage the toll-accounting system without paying royalties to the company. The state said an independent consultant valued the license at $4 million.
"Having a license to the toll-system software gives us flexibility in the years ahead," Stone said in a prepared statement. "We look forward to continuing our partnership with ETC, but if we decide to change plans in the future, we have the freedom to use their software without them."
*Editor's note: This story has been udpated from the original with information from ETC.

The current headlines regarding the financial services industry can be overwhelming, and certainly cause concern for everyone. Sub-prime mortgages. Record foreclosures. Huge loan losses. High-risk investment losses. No cash available for credit. Bank failures. Government bail-out programs.
It's important to understand the prominence of these topics in the media – and the problems they are reporting – are primarily related to the for-profit financial services sector and not Credit Unions. We realize that members might wonder what this means to them and their Credit Union.
Sound Lending Practices
Many of the problems that financial institutions are facing today are due to their lending practices of the past, including 'sub-prime' mortgages. SF Fire Credit Union never entered into the sub-prime market, meaning your deposits have never funded high-risk loans.
Limited Loan Losses & Delinquencies
Sound underwriting practices, a financially stable field-of-membership, and a geographic concentration of membership in (primarily) San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin Counties have all played a part in SF Fire Credit Union having one of the lowest delinquency and loan loss rates in the nation. Our losses have been very limited, and we see no changes to this on our horizon.
Ample Capital Reserves
Given the state of the economy, the Credit Union does expect to incur some limited losses. Rest assured that SF Fire Credit Union is well capitalized with over 10% of our total assets – representing over $50 million – in reserves. Your Credit Union is in a very strong position to weather the current economic downturn.
Good Liquidity to Meet Your Borrowing Needs
SF Fire Credit Union has no liquidity problems and is in the position to make loans, unlike the banks and investment firms that have been in the media, who have been forced to restrict or stop lending. We are ready and able to assist you with your borrowing needs, whether you're looking to purchase or refinance a home or buy a vehicle.
Conservative Investment Strategy
Credit unions make primary use of member deposits by funding loans (80% of your deposits are lent out to fellow members) and having adequate cash-on-hand to meet member needs. What remains is invested, with the intention of earning money on the funds not in use. SF Fire Credit Union's investment dollars are not held in the stock market or the mortgage-backed securities that have received much attention in the media, and our portfolio has incurred no losses. Our investment strategy has always been – and will continue to be – that of "safety first and yield last" with investments held in low risk investment securities and term certificates.
SF Fire Credit Union is pleased to hold a strong financial position, and is confident in assuring members that we'll get through this turbulent economic cycle. Our proud history – which dates back to a modest office at 17 Engine in 1951 – will continue on with a prosperous future for the Credit Union and its members.

Get the tanning oil ready Vidor High School football fans.
If you want to see your Vidor Pirates play in their season opener Aug. 30, you will be heading to beautiful Pensacola, Florida to take on the Escambia Gators.
Vidor head coach Jeff Mathews was contacted to possibly play the game in November and everything looks to be a go as the Pirates are just waiting on school board approval, which should go without a hitch.
"When I got that call in November, it sounded appealing and here we are," said Mathews. "I had several talks with their coach Willie Spears and it all worked out."
It certainly is a good way to jumpstart the upcoming season for the Pirates, who were young last season and finished 4-6, battling hard against more experience foes in District 20-4A.
"I think it will be a great thing for our kids, staff and fans," said Mathews. "Escambia has a tremendous tradition, that's for sure. They will definitely be a test for our kids. They are extremely athletic and they have some excellent athletes that have went on to be outstanding collegiate and NFL players."
Escambia's most famous player is certainly Emmitt Smith. Smith set national rushing records at Escambia before becoming an All-American at The University of Florida and then on to the Dallas Cowboys where he won three Super Bowl rings and is in the Hall of Fame and the NFL's all-time leading rusher.
"It's going to be pretty exciting to step on and play at Emmitt Smith Field," said Mathews. "Emmitt is legendary there. They've had other greats play there too like Trent Richardson, who is a running back in the NFL now."
The Pirate program has enough money in its coffers to make the trip and will have several more fundraisers from now through summer to raise some more.
"We've been fortunate enough with a few fundraisers already, with a lot of help from our booster club and we'll have several more down the road that should help a bunch," said Mathews. "Everyone is so enthused about making it all happen and the kids are thrilled about it all."
Traveling is nothing new for a Pirate program that has played Texarkana High in some openers in the past.
"The travel part won't be so bad," said Mathews. "The trip is a little more than six hours and when you look at it, it's only about an hour or so shorter going from here to Dallas."
The Pirates will leave early Friday Aug. 29 and stay one night and will take on the Gators at 4 p.m. Aug. 30 and will head home.
"It would be great to go up there and stay two or three days but we know that's not in the cards," said Mathews. "Still, it gives the kids a great 48 hours to know one another even better and become an even tighter-knit team. All-in-all, it's all going to be a win-win for us."
The Gators will return the favor to start the 2015 campaign by coming to Southeast Texas to face the Pirates.
"It's really going to be a fun experience for both schools," said Mathews. "A lot of people talk about how good football is in both Texas and Florida and I think football is played best in our two states.
The Gators finished 7-4 last season and advanced to the postseason.
This will be the second year in a row that the Gators face an out of state team.
They opened their 2013 campaign with a 43-19 win over Legacy High School from Broomfield, Colorado.
"We try to play a team from out of state every year," said Spears on the Escambia football website. "Games like this help us develop well-rounded players. We're excited about representing the state of Florida in this year's season opener."
With the Texas UIL realignment day right around the corner on Feb. 3, Coach Mathews still has some scheduling to figure out, especially for non-district.
"Right now, the only game we have scheduled for sure are the Escambia Gators," said Mathews. "That means Coach Mathews will be busy on realignment day for sure. First, you have to figure out how many teams will be in the district. Right now, all I know is LC-M will be out of the district and we still don't know whether we'll be a seven-team league now, or add a team or drop it down to six teams. I know one thing, if we drop to a six-team league, five non-district games will be hard to find. But I know we at least have one set in stone."
