You mentioned a while ago that you wouldn't mind some questions/ideas for blogs… I was just wondering why authors want their books published in hardcover? I personally wait to buy soft covers, but I am really curious about this… Love your books and your blogs are wonderful and informative – Keep on going! And no hurries on answering, I know you are busy
Writers like hardcovers for several reasons, but the choice actually doesn't belong to the writer in this case. This decision belongs to the publisher. The switch to hardcover or the choice to publish a book in hardcover from the start is made for marketing and financial reasons. Writers don't have much say in it.
Some advantages and disadvantages of hardcovers are:
[bulleted_list style="blue"]
- Hardcovers cost more, which means author gets more money per book, but lessens the audience
- Hardcovers don't fall apart as fast, providing a lasting value, which means some libraries prefer them
- Hardcovers tend to be printed on higher quality paper
- Hardcovers are more "visible" in stores, while mass markets tend to fade into background if shelved spine out
Here is one scenario, under which hard covers make sense. A typical hardcover format royalty is as follows:
Ten percent on the first 5,000 books sold
Twelve and one half percent on the next 5,000 books sold
Fifteen percent on all copies sold thereafter
A typical mass market royalty spread is:
Eight percent on the first 150,000 books sold
Ten percent on all copies sold thereafter
A highly simplified hypothetical example.
Let's take author Bob. Author Bob writes hard SF. He has a small devoted following of readers who will buy his books no matter what. However, he has issues reaching a wider audience because the subject matter of his books is highly specific.
In both cases of hard cover and soft cover, the amount of man-hours that goes into the production of the book is roughly the same. Edit, copyedit, galleys, cover design, etc have to be done in both cases. Production wise hardcover is more mostly to produce but even there we get into funky territory. Printing mass market in volume is sometimes actually cheaper than printing only a few thousand of mass market books.
Bob's book is published in hard cover with a print run of 6,000. Bob's book is hailed as experimental and wins an award. Book collectors decide they want to own one. The book sells 5,000 copies. Libraries order some because he is an award winner and his fiction is cutting edge, his fans order some, and Bob gets:
$25 x 0.1 x 5,000 = $12,500
Not super money, but not too bad. Bob's sell through rate is 83%. Bob is a viable author, because the house makes a modest profit and doesn't take a huge hit.
Let's say Bob's book is published in mass market with a print run of $15,000. Printing above that is too much of a risk – Bob's track record says he only moves a small number of copies. The house is unable to take advantage of printer's volume discounts. However, with this tiny print run, Bob has trouble penetrating the market. Half of the libraries skip the mass market purchase – what's the point, it's too flimsy – but another 500 people decide to take the chance on the mass market. Bob sells 5,000 copies.
$7.99 x .08 x 5,000 = $3, 196.
The house is stuck with 10,000 useless paperbacks. Bob's sell through rate is 30%. Bob is a giant fail.
Mass market
When mass market books came on the scene, they were a cheaper alternative to hardbacks designed to appeal to a wider audience. They were light and small, which made them portable (see why ebooks are winning this war? Kindle is easier to carry than a paperback), and permitted places like grocery store to carry them. More of them fit on one shelf. They were cheaper.
Because they were cheaper and flimsier, some people viewed them as almost disposable. When Gordon was in Japan, he used to see people leave manga in random places, like the subway. Manga volumes were cheap and once you were done with them, why not let someone else read them?
There was a point when paperbacks were viewed almost in the same light. Category romances still often are. I can sometimes find a category for $5. But over time, the price of mass market steadily climbed up $7.99 and higher. At this price point mass markets no longer seem disposable.
In the mind of most readers, there is a distinction between mass market book and hard cover book. Hard cover book is to keep. Mass market is often light entertainment. That's why sometimes you will hear publishing industry professionals say, "This type of book just doesn't do well in hard cover." That said, the success of any given book is pretty much a craps shoot. Seriously. If anyone could predict bestseller status, everyone in publishing would be a lot richer.
If the mass market author is very successful, there comes a point where they develop a loyal following of reader who will buy their books no matter what, and the author makes a jump to hard cover. Still, that decision isn't made by the author. It's usually made by the publisher.

What does SOP mean? I have come accross this several times and do not know what it stands for?
In culinary terms, to sop means to soak up liquid with a piece of bread. I suspect that you want SOP – this stands for Standard Operating Procedure.

"But then we have these children from Make-a-Wish coming to the set. On the first movie I met this girl, and I can't tell this story without crying. She had scars all over her body—burns—and she was telling me she was always so ashamed of the way she looked and she was so embarrassed, and now she has the nickname the Girl on Fire, but she loves it and wears it proudly. It gives her confidence. That was the first time in my entire career that I actually felt like there was a point in this." - Jennifer Lawrence for Vanity Fair.

- Americans: YOU CAN'T SAY SWEAR WORDS ON TELEVISION OH MY GOD WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU
- meanwhile in Norway: welcome to the fucking news
- meanwhile in the UK: dick dick balls sex gay tea GAAAAYY I'm taking off my pants on live tv this is family tv!!!
- Mom: If you were going to kill someone, what weapon would you choose?
- Me: A dull knife.
- Dad: Why a dull knife?
- Me: You want to really mess someone up and make it painful? Use a dull knife. Sure, it's going to take a bit more effort, but it isn't going to cut. It's going to rip. It'll be painful, and if they survive the healing process will be a lot more difficult and painful. A dull knife expresses more anger than a sharp knife. A sharp knife is kind of the nice guy murdering tool, but if I'm going to kill someone I'm going to assume that I have finally snapped so I'd go for something painful and vicious.
- Mom: We've raised a potential serial killer.
- Dad: I don't know about you, but I'm proud of the amount of thought that went into that.

Watch the virtual tour of our new Heart Center
Our Heart Center is a major advancement in cardiac care for the Moberly area. We now have the expertise and technology to unblock arteries with angioplasty and stents. These procedures can potentially save or extend the lives of our patients.
90 minutes is what you have to unblock arteries from the moment your heart attack begins, according to medical standards. This used to mean going to Columbia or another metro area, as time and life slipped away. Now, potentially life saving procedures can take place here in Moberly. We are committed to saving and improving the lives of those in our area. This is a huge step forward for us all.
We have made great technological advances here at Moberly Regional. We have acquired new advanced equipment from Germany that allows us to see into the heart and arteries with amazing detail. The images appear on large monitors in front of our Cardiologists and the detailed information helps them make a precise diagnosis. This technology aides the doctors to do procedures, like stent placements, and other interventions that may help repair your cardiovascular system.
We welcome Dr. Khaja to the medical staff at Moberly Regional. He is a board certified Intervential Cardiologist, and brings additional skills to our line up. He is here to augment the services of our veteran staff member Dr. Habib. Together with the entire Heart Center staff they make a talented team that we are privileged to have in our area.
Our Cardiologists are taking appointments for check ups, and routine care. We also offer cardiac rehabilitation. Please call (660)263-2400 to make an appointment of if you have any questions about the Heart Center call (660)269-3280.

The Global Crisis and the Impact on Remittances to Developing Asia
Remittances to Asia plunged during the 1997 Asian financial crisis, but the drop was temporary as the flows were increasing once again after just one year. The current crisis, however, is fundamentally different in that even the main remittance-sending countries have been adversely affected. The global nature of this crisis raises several questions such as whether the remittances slowdown will also last for a short time or developing Asia should prepare for a long period of remittance stagnation. This study examines remittances data of several Asian countries to shed light on such questions. The results suggest that while remittance flows to key recipients in the region have slowed down, there has not been a sharp drop. Furthermore, there is no indication that the remittance flows will slow down further, suggesting that the flows should be back on a higher growth path in a few years. It is unlikely, however, to see the same growth rates of the past, given that an important share of that growth during the last two decades was due to better recording of remittances and an increased use of wire transfers on the part of migrants. The study also provides policy options to deal with the future outlook of remittances.Download Info

Lady Cardinals hold on at home
A 30-14 halftime lead gave the Lady Cardinals enough room that they did a little defensive experimentation in the second half at home on Friday.
The experiment — switching from their standard man-to-man defense into a zone — showed some glitches, but not enough to prevent Corning High from defeating visiting Yreka 55-43.
The Lady Cardinals pressed and trapped the Miners into double-figure turnovers in the first quarter, which saw Corning open up an 8-1 lead. The Cardinals never trailed after Shyanne Petty sank the first three of her team-high 15 points from behind the arc to open the scoring.
Corning continued applying the defensive pressure, and it helped create more opportunities on the offensive end in the second quarter, as Petty scored eight points, Gates Fears added six and Marisa Vinson drained a trey among her five points.
"We had a good spurt in the second quarter and the start of the third," said Corning coach Curt Eller. The Cardinals led by as much as 20 points in the early stages of the second half.
With the move to a 2-3 zone, Yreka was able stretch the Corning defense and get some penetration. The Lady Cardinals only outscored Yreka 26-24 in the second half.
"We've got to play all-around better defense," Eller commented. "We pulled off the standard press, and when I went zone it may have taken us out of sync."
Of the Lady Cardinals' four field goals in the third quarter, three were treys as Rachel Silva buried a pair and freshman Whitney Armstrong found the range as well.
Scoring in the third quarter was balanced for Corning, as Jordan Raker opened the scoring with a 3-pointer, and Vinson followed with a three-point play. Petty, Fears and Keara Terras added buckets as the Lady Cardinals improved to 13-7, and 4-1 in the Northern Athletic League.
"Normally, you'll take a 12-point win in league," Eller added, "but our focus and execution needs to get better down the stretch."
Vinson and Silva both scored 11 points for the Cardinals, and Fears finished with eight.
Katlyne Brummett led all scorers with 17 points for the Miners, while Destiny Sinnett pitched in with seven.
Corning played on the road at Lassen on Tuesday, and hosts Central Valley on Friday.

Hi Cathy! The 1890s is WAY too late for an "Indian massacre" of a wagon train, especially anywhere between San Antonio and Dallas. This area (I live in the area) was pretty modern/civilized at that time and Texas had already "controlled" the Native American population: http://www.tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/II/bzi1.html My experience with family legends is that they are MOSTLY true...but sometimes the crucial details get garbled. Maybe it happened to a relative, but made a better story told in first person? I'll also mention that if it was a massacre...how did she survive? My advice is to keep an open mind to alternative possibilites. And if you want further verifications, you might contact the Austin History Center (they answer single questions via email), the respective county historical societies (Bell, Williamson, Burnet, Travis, etc.) and/or the Texas State Historical Society.

Sky helps to boost UK radio ad revenue to £552.7m in 2012
BSkyB helped the radio industry get on course to expand its share of display advertising in 2012, when the UK radio ad market grew by 3.8%, according to figures from the Radio Advertising Bureau.
Simon Redican: managing director of the RAB
The figures reveal the UK radio industry increased its total ad revenue haul to £552.7m, the third consecutive year-on-year rise, in 2012, despite the challenges of the wider economy and pressure on many traditional forms of advertising.
The top 10 radio advertisers increased their combined spend on radio to £76.5m, up 35% year on year. Sky now rivals the industry's long-standing biggest client, the Government, in terms of expenditure on radio.
Other major brands that increased the amount they spend on radio advertising in 2012 include Morrisons, Everything Everywhere and News International.
Using figures from Warc, the RAB calculated radio delivered its largest year-on-year increase in its share of display advertising in eight years, in the 12 months to the end of September 2012.
Radio's share of display rose to 5.7% in the year to end of September 2012, from 5.5% in the year to 30 September 2011, and, given radio's performance in the final three months, radio is expected to increase its share of display across 2012.
Simon Redican, managing director of the RAB, said: "Brands have recognised the enduring power of radio to quickly reach mass audiences, and 2012 delivered commercial radio's third consecutive year of growth.
"There are some macro trends at work here demonstrating advertiser's commitment to the medium, with sectors, such as grocery multiples, increasing their investment in radio at the expense of other media."
Redican said multiple grocers such as Asda have increased the amount they spend with radio groups because radio can offer the same "flexibility" and "more precise targeting" than grocers' traditional outlet in regional press, adding "With radio you can have your cake and eat it."
Meanwhile, outdoor ad revenues grew to £970.1m in 2012, up 9.5% year on year and bringing the industry back to revenue levels not seen since 2007, according to figures from the Outdoor Media Centre.

Oral argument: Oct. 4, 2011
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Mar. 5, 2010)
While Randall Fields was incarcerated, officers unaffiliated with the prison questioned him regarding activities unrelated to his incarceration. Fields made incriminating statements to the officers, and was convicted after these statements were admitted into evidence. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit granted Fields' petition for habeas corpus relief, holding that the state court decision was in conflict with clearly established Supreme Court precedent forbidding the admission of statements made without the protection of Miranda warnings. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to determine whether a prisoner is "in custody," and thus entitled to Miranda protections, any time the prisoner is separated from the general prison population and questioned. Petitioning Warden Carol Howes contends that habeas should not be granted because the state court's decision is not in conflict with any clearly established precedent of the Supreme Court. In contrast, Respondent Fields argues that there is a clearly established rule granting Miranda protection to prisoners anytime they are isolated and questioned. Howes maintains that recognizing a Supreme Court precedent requiring Miranda rights to be issued any time a prisoner is questioned will grant prisoners greater protections than those given to ordinary citizens. Fields counters that requiring officers to issue Miranda warnings is essential to protecting prisoners' Fifth Amendment rights.
Oral argument: Nov. 29, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit (Sept. 23, 2009)
In December 1993, Khalil Kholi was convicted of sexual assault in the first degree and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Three years later, Kholi filed a motion to reduce his sentence, seeking discretionary leniency in state court. In 2007, Kholi filed a habeas corpus petition in federal court. The federal district court denied Kholi's petition on the grounds that it was not timely filed under the Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act ("AEDPA"). The First Circuit reversed, holding that a discretionary post-conviction motion to reduce a sentence constitutes collateral review under 28 U.S.C. § 2244(d)(2) and tolls AEDPA's one-year limitation period. Petitioner A.T. Wall appealed, arguing that a discretionary sentence-reduction motion does not constitute collateral review because it does not challenge the validity of a conviction or sentence. Kholi counters that collateral review includes motions seeking equitable, discretionary relief, and argues that his motion seeking a discretionary reduction of an imposed sentence tolls AEDPA's statute of limitations. The Supreme Court's decision will affect the finality of state court judgments, as well as the state court remedies a prisoner can pursue before filing a petition for federal habeas corpus relief.
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Oct. 6, 2009)
Charles Martin is serving life imprisonment for the robbery and first-degree murder of Charles Stapleton. After exhausting his direct appeals, Martin filed a petition for habeas corpus in California state court, alleging that his trial counsel was ineffective. The California Supreme Court eventually dismissed the petition under the state's "timeliness" rule, which bars claims filed after "substantial delay." Martin then filed a habeas corpus claim in federal court on similar grounds. The federal district court found that the state timeliness grounds were "adequate" for dismissal of the federal case. Under the adequate state grounds doctrine, a federal court will not review the decision of a state court if the federal court's decision would have no impact on the case. The Ninth Circuit reversed, finding that the state had failed to prove that California's timeliness rule was sufficiently clear and consistently applied so as to be an adequate state bar. Martin argues that the Ninth Circuit was correct in its ruling, while Petitioner James Walker counters that the rule is indeed consistently applied. If the Supreme Court finds the rule adequate, this will likely increase denials of federal habeas corpus petitions; if the rule is not adequate, however, California may be required to use a more precise standard in determining what constitutes an untimely petition.
Oral argument: Nov. 9, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Dec. 9, 2009)
After receiving a death sentence in state court, Scott Pinholster submitted a habeas corpus petition in California federal district court claiming that his attorney's deficient performance at trial violated his Sixth Amendment right to fair representation. Though the state court had dismissed Pinholster's petition on the merits, the federal district court agreed to conduct an evidentiary hearing on new facts regarding Pinholster's medical and family history that were available but not presented during the sentencing phase of Pinholster's state trial. The federal district court eventually granted habeas relief, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed, ordering a new sentencing proceeding. Now, the Warden at San Quentin State Prison argues that the new facts presented during the federal evidentiary hearing violated Section 2254 of the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 because these facts were not first presented in state court. The Supreme Court's decision in this case will affect the circumstances under which a federal habeas court may allow for evidentiary hearings that introduce facts not considered by state courts below.
Oral argument: Oct. 13, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit (Feb. 2, 2010)
Florida convicted petitioner Henry Skinner of capital murder and sentenced him to death. Although Skinner admits that he was present at the scene of the murders, he maintains his innocence. Skinner now seeks access to biological evidence for DNA testing, which he claims will prove that he is innocent of the murders. After unsuccessfully filing two habeas corpus claims, Skinner filed a 42 U.S.C. § 1983 claim to attempt to gain access to the evidence. The Fifth Circuit denied Skinner's motion to stay his execution, but Skinner appealed that decision and the Supreme Court agreed to hear Skinner's case. The Court must now decide whether a demand for access to biological evidence may be brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983, or whether the claim falls within the realm of habeas corpus law and was thus improperly filed. The Supreme Court's decision will not only decide Skinner's fate, but also clarify the scope and procedure of habeas corpus claims.
Oral argument: Oct. 12, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (Aug. 10, 2009)
Joshua Richter, convicted of murder, alleged that he received inadequate assistance from his attorney at trial. Richter argued that his attorney should have presented expert testimony concerning a blood splatter at the crime scene, which could have corroborated his version of the events. The United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit agreed with Richter and granted his request for habeas corpus relief. Kelly Harrington, the prison warden, claimed that Richter did not receive inadequate counsel and that the California Supreme Court's earlier summary disposition denying habeas corpus relief should be upheld. The Supreme Court's decision in this case will determine the level of deference that should be granted to lower court orders, such as summary dispositions, which could discourage lower courts from issuing such orders in the future.
Appealed from the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (March 10, 2009)
Oral argument: March 29, 2010
Reginald Lett was convicted of second-degree murder in a Michigan state court in his second trial for the same offense. In his first trial, the judge determined that the jury was deadlocked and declared it a mistrial. Lett then filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. His petition was granted. On appeal, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the district court's ruling on the basis that Lett's Fifth Amendment right to be free from Double Jeopardy had been violated because the trial court had not used "sound discretion" in finding a "manifest necessity" to declare a mistrial and terminate the ongoing proceedings. This case presents the Supreme Court with the opportunity to clearly articulate what state courts must do before declaring a mistrial to avoid running afoul of the Fifth Amendment.
Oral argument: Jan. 20, 2010
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit (Sep. 24, 2008)
In 1993, an all-white jury convicted Diapolis Smith of second-degree murder and possession of a firearm during a felony. A 1990 Census showed that African-Americans comprised 7.8% of eligible jurors in the relevant county and 18.1% of eligible jurors in the relevant city. Smith challenged the county's system of jury selection, arguing it violated his Sixth Amendment right to a jury drawn from a fair-cross-section of the community. The Sixth Circuit ruled in his favor, rejecting Petitioner Mary Berghuis' proposed "absolute-disparity test," which subtracts the percentage of adult members of a distinct group in the venire from the percentage of eligible jurors of that distinct group in the population. It instead applied the "comparative-disparity test," which divides the absolute-disparity by the percentage of the distinct group in the community. The Supreme Court's decision may impact the composition of juries.
Oral argument: Nov. 4, 2009
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit (Sept. 16, 2008)
In 1994, Petitioner Holly Wood was convicted of capital murder for sneaking into his ex-girlfriend's bedroom and shooting her in the head with a shotgun. The judge imposed the death penalty, as recommended by the jury. Wood claims that, during sentencing, he did not receive effective assistance of counsel as guaranteed by the Sixth Amendment. He argues that defense counsel failed to further investigate or present evidence of his mental disabilities. According to Wood, the state court's rejection of this argument was an unreasonable application of federal law. He also argues that the Eleventh Circuit's standard of review in habeas corpus proceedings abdicates the court's judicial review function under the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act of 1996 ("AEDPA"). The State of Alabama counters that the Eleventh Circuit properly deferred to the reasonable determinations of the state courts as required by the AEDPA. This decision will better define the appropriate level of deference due to state court factual determinations during federal habeas corpus proceedings.
Oral argument: Nov. 2, 2009
Appealed from: United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (Sept. 3, 2008)
Joseph Kindler was convicted and sentenced to death by a Pennsylvania court for murder. While Kindler's post-conviction motions were pending, he escaped and remained at large for years. The court then decided on the basis of a discretionally applied fugitive forfeiture rule that Kindler had waived his rights to make these motions when he fled. After Kindler was returned, he moved to reinstate his motions. The Pennsylvania courts denied this motion and Kindler subsequently petitioned the federal court for habeas review, which the district court granted and the circuit court affirmed. In this case the Supreme Court will decide if a federal court may grant a habeas petition when Pennsylvania's highest court declared that Kindler forfeited his relief claims when he fled. Pennsylvania argues that its fugitive forfeiture rule is an adequate state ground that bars federal review. Kindler, however, claims the discretionally applied fugitive forfeiture rule was not applied with sufficient consistency in Pennsylvania courts to preclude habeas review.

Reversing that afterDec 30, 2011View SourceThe drawback to that... The "forward" RIAA curve reduces high end (it gets boosted during cutting) --- to help reduce surface noise.Reversing that after the fact means that whatever noise came in "after" the cartridge will get amplified significantly. Having a "flat" preamp would be far preferable.(Think: Mike preamp) --Then again, you wouldn't want to know what I spent on my ribbon preamp. (4 figures)From: Sam Hallas <samhallas@...>
That's a pretty steep price, John. I think I spent less than UK£30 on mine.
A much cheaper solution would be to record with the RIAA curve and
reverse filter it in your audio software. A tool such as Diamond Cut
Audio Restoration Tools has an inverse RIAA filter as a preset along
with various bass boost and treble roll-off filters for different types
of 78.

SummaryInfection of humans with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) may cause infectious mononucleosis (IM). Analysis of single EBV-infected cells from tonsils of IM patients for rearranged immunoglobulin genes revealed two strategies of EBV for rapid and massive spread in the B cell compartment: the direct infection of many naive as well as memory and/or germinal center B cells and the expansion of the latter cells to large clones. In IM, the generation of virus-harboring memory B cells from naive B cells passing through a germinal center reaction likely plays no role. Members of clones can show distinct morphologies and likely also EBV gene expression patterns, and this ability implies a mechanism by which EBV-harboring cells can evade immune surveillance and establish a pool of persisting EBV-infected B cells.

SummaryWe have used latent infection with the human herpesvirus Epstein-Barr virus to track the dispersal of memory B cells from the mucosal lymphoid tissue of Waldeyer's ring (tonsils/adenoids). EBV is evenly distributed between the memory compartments of Waldeyer's ring and the peripheral blood. However, it has an approximately 20-fold higher preference for Waldeyer's ring over the spleen or mesenteric lymph nodes. These observations are consistent with a model whereby the virus preferentially establishes persistent infection within memory B cells from Waldeyer's ring. The virus then colonizes the entire peripheral lymphoid system, at a low level, by trafficking with these memory B cells as they circulate through the body and back to Waldeyer's ring. This pathway may reflect that of normal memory B cells derived from nasopharyngeal and other mucosal lymph nodes.

SummaryCell death in B cell terminal differentiation rapidly follows cell cycle arrest in IL-6 differentiation of EBV-immortalized, IgG-bearing human lymphoblastoid cells in vitro. G1 arrest is now found to coincide with repression of EBNA2 and LMP1, two EBV genes essential for B cell transformation, without activation of the viral lytic cycle. IL-6–differentiated B cells die by apoptosis, as evidenced by increases in Annexin V binding activity, PARP cleavage, and chromatin disorganization. Expression of Mcl-1, a Bcl-2 family member, was specifically induced during IL-6 differentiation and down-regulated during apoptosis. Thus, IL-6 reverses EBV immortalization and activates the terminal differentiation program in IgG-bearing human B lymphoblastoid cells, including regulation of an anti-apoptotic gene to coordinate differentiation, cell cycle arrest, and cell death.

Add/View Comments (0)The Expression Pattern of Epstein-Barr Virus Latent Genes In Vivo Is Dependent upon the Differentiation Stage of the Infected B Cell
Gregory J Babcock1, Donna Hochberg1 and David A Thorley-Lawson1, *, *,
1 Department of Pathology, Tufts University School of Medicine, Boston, Massachusetts 02138, USA
- Epstein-Barr virus–infected B cells in vivo demonstrate three distinct patterns of latent gene expression, depending on the differentiation stage of the cell. Tonsillar naive B cells express the EBNA2-dependent lymphoblastoid phenotype, characteristic of direct infection. Germinal center centroblasts and centrocytes as well as tonsillar memory B cells express a more restricted pattern of latent genes (EBNA1(Q-K)+, LMP1+, LMP2+, EBNA2−) that has only been seen previously in EBV-positive tumors. Peripheral memory cells express an even more restricted pattern where no latent genes are expressed, with the possible exception of LMP2. These results are consistent with a model where EBV uses the normal biology of B lymphocytes to gain access to and persist within the long-lived memory B cell compartment.

I went to the OB to originally find out why Ive been bleeding so long and they had found low-rate intraepithelial squamous lesions or a cell-abnormality but it doesn't explain the bleeding. If someone could please help, I would greatly appreciate it.View Thread
I recently went to the GYN to receive a PAP. My results came back exactly as a Low Grade Intraepithelial Squamos Lesion. However like you were explaining, the consistent bleeding and LSIL don't seem to be too inter-linked. I experienced too days of very light bleeding and now the bleeding has gotten very thick. Will this bleeding go away by itself, or do I need specific treatment? If it is BTB, is there a way I can specifically tell? And, if I am constantly bleeding does this mean I haven't ovulated since I quit birthcontrol? I'm sorry I have so many questions. Whenever I went to the GYN they briefly explained things. Until I recieve Medicaid once more, I can't go back in. Any advice would help.

"Evil" is a complex thing. Sometimes evil is justified, other times knowing evil is just the best way to fight it. Here are 10 things that clearly fall under the banner of "evil," but are worth knowing how to do.
We've been featuring less-than-moral hacks in our evil week for a few years now, and we've racked up quite a few, so we thought it time to take a look back at all the best ones. As we said in our evil week intro this year, the whole idea of "evil" is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but we have one common theme unites most of the topics we're covering: Knowledge is power, and whether you use that power for good or evil depends on you. Learning to crack passwords teaches you security practices. A better understanding of lying and manipulation earns you the ability to detect such tactics. There's a time and a place for bad behavior. So, without further ado...here are some of our best evil tricks from the past few years.
10. Lie
Sometimes, lying is justified—like if you're doing it to keep an important secret or if you're trying to avoid burning a bridge. Sometimes it's bad, but relatively harmless, like sounding intelligent or getting a small discount on movies, student products, out of warranty repairs, and other such things. Whatever your feelings, however, knowing how to lie can make you a lot better at detecting those lies in others, and even help you get the truth out of them. You may not be able to pass a polygraph test, but being a good liar is a good skill to have, evil or not. Photo remixed from mikute (Shutterstock).
9. Cheat
People cheat. It happens. But depending on the circumstance, it isn't always a bad thing. Other times, its downright evil. We've showed you tricks from all across this spectrum, from cheating at video games to circumventing Wi-Fi timeouts, getting around paywalls, getting the best seat on a plane, or getting the best price online. Use your tricks wisely, though—if you rely on cheating too much, you'll never be able to get stuff done when cheating isn't an option.
8. Steal
Picasso once said "Good artists borrow, great artists steal." You may not be able to apply that logic to stealing the air out of someone's tires, but you could perhaps apply it to stealing a coworker's idea and passing it off as your own. And I don't think I need to mention BitTorrent and Usenet, two of the greatest (but most oft-used for stealing) services on the web. The best thing to steal, though? Your own stuff, so you can know how to keep it all secure. Image remixed from Simon and lynea (Shutterstock).
7. Manipulate
Ever feel like you aren't persuasive enough, or that you can't get people to do what you want? Maybe it's time to turn to more evil persuasion techniques. We've shared a few tricks that'll help you manipulate people, but reverse psychology can also go a long way when it comes to planting ideas in people's minds. None of these are particularly new tricks, either—they've been used by everyone from evil dictators to parents for years. Of course, if you'd rather manipulate people without abandoning your ethics completely, there are ways around that too. Image remixed from Lorelyn Medina (Shutterstock).
6. Invade Privacy
Privacy is dead these days. If you want to truly protect yours, it helps to know the best tricks privacy invaders are using—whether that's stalking you online, digging through your trash, breaking into your computer, or something else. And once you get there, you should know how they might use that information against you, too. Photos by studiobeerhorst and Africa Studio (Shutterstock).
5. Be Lazy
Okay, being lazy isn't exactly evil, but it's still viewed as a negative characteristic. But as we know, procrastination isn't always a bad thing. So it may be necessary to master the art of looking busy or sleeping at work to please the higher-ups while you recharge your batteries. Obviously, you can go overboard with this, but with the right strategy, laziness can actually be productive. Photo by Alle.
4. Get Angry
Sometimes, getting truly pissed off can do good things—like help you achieve hard goals or be a more effective complainer. Other times, venting frustration will only make your anger worse. So don't be afraid to get angry, but make sure you manage that seething rage productively—like using text expansion to make quick work of assholes. Photo remixed from an original by Sammy.
3. Infiltrate
Ever since you were a kid, you've probably enjoyed the rush of being somewhere you weren't allowed. Maybe it's for a legitimate reason (like sneaking into a private pool on a really hot day) or maybe it's just the rush (like being at an exclusive party), but either way, there are always ways to sneak in. All it takes is a little research and a bit of social engineering. Of course, if you're really devious, you could learn to pick locks too, but that's bound to get you in a little more trouble than playing dumb and sneaking in. Check out our top 10 ways to break into anything for more...inspiration.
2. Disappear
Being anonymous isn't evil on its own, but coupled with other less-than-pious activity, it allows you to get away with an awful lot. When it comes to online activity, you have a lot of ways to stay anonymous: private browsing, proxy servers, VPNs, disposable email addresses, all the way to creating an entirely new identity. Of course, if you really want to take it to the next level, you could actually disappear and ditch big brother forever. Photo by Getty Images.
1. Just Be a Jerk
Still not feeling evil enough? Well, then it's time to just start being a jerk to everyone—that oughta cement your reputation as a villain. Cut in line. Talk at the theater. Speed on the freeway and don't pay that ticket. Teach your chronically late friends a lesson (unless that's you). Blackmail deadbeats. By the end of the week, you shouldn't have any problem getting that invitation to the evil league of evil you've been waiting for. Photo remixed from Graeme Maclean.
Thanks for all the great Evil Weeks, everyone. See you next year!

I've recently been to Darmstadt because I had never visited this town before. What I knew before I started was that a part of the town is an Art Deco gesamtkunstwerk* and I assumed that the rest would be nice enough to be worth visiting. The size is just right, a bit more than 140.00 inhabitants, not too small and not to big. It's located in the land of Hesse, 30 km south of Frankfurt/Main.No tourist information office in the station, the town is too small. In Germany only big cities have this convenience, in towns it's in the centre. Normally, I find this annoying, it can happen that when I've finally reached it, I've already passed a lot of sights without realising it and without having information on them. I needn't have bothered in Darmstadt, however, as I soon learnt. A woman told me to take any bus or tram I'd find in front of the station, they'd all take me to the Luisenplatz, the town centre.I was shocked about the monotonous, unimaginative buildings on either side of the street, clearly built in the post-war era to give the people of Darmstadt a place to live, no money for aesthetically pleasing architecture then. I hadn't informed myself about the destruction Darmstadt underwent during WW2 beforehand, I wanted to get an unbiased impression. It was clear from the first moment that it had been massive. Back home I read on it and learnt that the old city centre was largely destroyed in a British bombing raid on 11th September, 1944, only one house remained completely intact. In fact, 99% of the centre and 78 % of the whole city were destroyed. An estimated 11,000 - 12,500 inhabitants died. Big and important buildings were reconstructed, but only single buildings can be considered 'sights' nowadays, there are no ensembles.The Luisenplatz is the largest square of Darmstadt, too large in my opinion, no cosy downtown feeling here. It's surrounded by big, plain, post-war buildings and modern ones which don't look better. It's the main public transport hub, trams and buses criss-cross it all the time. In the middle of the square stands a 33-metre high column, the Ludwigssäule, commemorating Ludwig I, first Grand Duke of Hesse. It seems to be the meeting point of punks and boozers, already in the afternoon everyone sitting on the steps of the pedestal had a bottle in their hands.The tourist information office is on the ground floor of the Karstadt (a department store) building. I told the woman in charge that I had planned three to four hours for my visit and asked her where she advised me to go. Not surprisingly, she mentioned the Mathildenhöhe at once, where the aforementioned Art Deco gesamtkunstwerk can be found. She said that after visiting it, I could cross the town and have a look at the 'Waldspirale' (Forest Spiral), a residential complex by the Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser which was built from 1998-2000. His buildings are famous for having no rectangular shapes and every window being different as well as being painted in gaudy colours and a lot of gold. She said that after going there my time would be up. I asked what I would miss if I left then and from her hesitant reply I concluded that it wasn't much. She mentioned the Ducal Palace which burnt down to the outer walls in 1944. The faVade was reconstructed to nearly pre-war status and it now houses a historical museum. But I didn't want to go to a museum, I wanted to get a feeling for the town.Off to the Art Deco gesamtkunstwerk then. Bus F took me directly to the stop Mathildenhöhe. 'Höhe' means 'height' in German, the Mathildenhöhe is a small hill of 180 m, the highest point in Darmstadt. Already in the 19th century the Ducal court had a garden there which was structured as an English landscape garden in 1833. The plane grove stems from that time, too. The area was named after *Mathilde* Karoline Friederike von Wittelsbach, Grand Duke Ludwig III's wife. From 1897 to 1899 a Russian Chapel was built on top of the hill in the style of 16th century Russian churches by the architect Léon N. Benois from St. Petersburg (btw, one of Peter Ustinov's granddads). The Russian Tsar Nikolai II, whose wife was a princess from Darmstadt, wanted to have a church for his family and the royal household when on visit. It's still in use for orthodox services.Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse, a grandson of Queen Victoria's, made Darmstadt the second centre of the Art Deco style (the other one was Munich) by inviting seven young artists in 1899 to form an artists' colony on the Mathildenhöhe. In the first decade of the 20th century he had the architect Joseph Maria Olbrich build an exhibition hall and a building for studios which nowadays houses a museum for art deco artefacts. In 1908 the 48 m high so-called Wedding Tower was finished, also designed by Olbrich, a present of the town of Darmstadt for the Grand Duke to commemorate his wedding. Besides, the artists had the possibility of designing and building houses for themselves and their families. They're situated in a street running half way between the top of the hill and its foot.Coming up from the bus stop I first saw the exhibition hall (it's closed when there is no exhibition). Stepping round the corner and passing a café my eyes were attracted by the glittering golden onion domes of the tiny Russian chapel. I'd have liked to get a closer look of the icons but didn't dare. A young woman was praying fervently, leaning her head against the icons, even kissing the glass covering them; I felt like an intruder and left. In front of the chapel is a basin which must look nice in summer when filled with water, in the middle of October it was empty. I moved on to the plane grove, the oddest part of the Mathildenhöhe in my opinion. The planes were planted 177 years ago, but they look like bonsai trees. How is it possible to keep them so small over the years? Some period sculptures adorn the grove.Next I visited the Wedding Tower, I took the lift up to the room at the top which shows some exhibits of the wedding it was built for and from which one has a panoramic view of the town. I saw Hundertwasser's Waldspirale in the distance and decided not to go there. We've got a small Hundertwasser house in a neighbouring town, I know the style and I know that it doesn't appeal to me much. The tower is not only called Wedding Tower, the town of Darmstadt has its register office there nowadays. One can stop the lift and peep into the room where the ceremony takes place and, on the floor underneath, where the registration takes place. My final stop was the building formerly housing the studios of the artists, now a museum with art deco exhibits: coloured glass windows, furniture, crockery, cutlery, jewellery, decorative knickknack. I'm not an ardent admirer of the Art Deco style in general, I like some things and would take them home with me at once, others are too decorative for my liking and bordering on kitsch. The (permanent) exhibition is well presented but there are too few artefacts, I expected to see many more. Pity.When I had soaked up everything there is on the Mathildenhöhe, I asked the woman at the counter of the museum what else she'd advise me to see. She mentioned the Rose Heights, another English landscape garden nearby. I asked her what she thought I could do there in autumn when all the roses had withered. She said, "Well, you could shuffle through the dry autumn leaves." Funny, the Darmstädters.So back by bus to the Luisenplatz. On the way we passed a big, yellow, classical looking building with columns flanking the entrance. My leaflet informed me that this was the former Court Theatre from 1819 which, after complete destruction and renovation, was reopened as the House of History. "A sight no-one should miss is the magnificent foyer, restored in the style of the 1830s". I didn't go back, however, I had seen the Mathildenhöhe and the rest of Darmstadt didn't appeal to me. After a cappuccino on the Luisenplatz I went back to the station a bit earlier than I had intended. I'm not an architect or urbanologist, I don't have to come up with a design for Darmstadt, but I know that it's possible for towns that were severely bombed during WW2 to look nice nowadays, more than half a century after the end of the war. ----P.S.*gesamtkunstwerk = the German term is also used in English.

Essential site for all OPI lovers!
I am so glad I found this site! OPI nail polish is one of the best around in my OPInion and they have a great range of colours. They are quite pricey though and it's difficult to find a good range of their colours in one place. Not any more! Not only do they sell them cheaper than anywhere else I've found, but Demonsbeauty always seem to have special offers on (usually multibuys, which isn't a problem because I can never buy just one colour!) and their range of colours is HUGE! You can search by colour, range or just browse through every colour (they had 276 last time I looked) and they also sell nailcare accessories AND hand/body lotions. Delivery is fast and cheap and although I've never needed to return anything, it sounds like a simple process. I can't think of a single reason not to recommend this site, it's fabulous!
