Matching and Sorting when Like Attracts Like
This paper examines a class of two-sided matching problems with non-transferable utility. Agents are horizontally differentiated, and each would prefer to be matched to a similar partner, i.e. "like attracts like". such preferences imply a unique equilibrium assignment describing the pattern of matching; however, the pattern of assortment in equilibrium is found to depend critically on the distribution of types among the two sexes.

In keeping with the role and mission, and the philosophy statement of The University of Texas at Brownsville and Texas Southmost College, we, the faculty of the Associate Degree Nursing Program, believe that:
Education is an interactive process involving teaching, learning and critical thinking. The faculty believes that learning is a dynamic life-long process of change in which the learner acquires knowledge, skills and attitudes by means of study, practice and experience. The faculty further believes that the teaching-learning process is based on adult learning principles that include collaborative problem solving bi-directional relationship between the learner and instructor that empowers the student to cope with change and assume the responsibility for his/her own learning. Implicit within the educational process is the need for formative and summative evaluation of outcomes.
Nursing education is a curriculum driven program of learning activities designed by the faculty through which the nursing student acquires the cognitive, affective, psycho-motor, and critical thinking/ problem solving skills necessary to perform safe nursing care in a variety of structured health care settings. The emphasis of the curriculum is the interrelationship between the nurse's caring role as a provider, coordinator and member of the profession and the scientific knowledge needed to carry out that role. The faculty believe that nursing education is an eclectic set of organizing ideas that incorporates nursing theories and educational theories, which have a foundation in the natural, social, humanistic, and behavioral sciences with a major emphasis on critical thinking, communication, therapeutic interventions, caring, cultural diversity and ethical behavior. The learning experiences are designed, implemented and evaluated by the faculty in order to prepare the graduates to function in acute care and long-term care, as well as in community-based health care settings. In keeping with the educational, professional, ethical and legal standards of nursing, the faculty believes that nurses must have the flexibility to function in various health care systems while remaining sensitive to clients/families who are culturally, racially and ethnically diverse.
The faculty believes that health is a condition of physical, mental, and social well-being, and the absence of disease or other abnormal condition. Health is not a static condition; it is constant change and adaptation to stress resulting in homeostasis. Further, the faculty believes that clients are biological, psychological, social, cultural and spiritual beings who have basic human needs and unique characteristics; the various components of the individual interact throughout the life span. The clients/families strive to change and adapt in order to maintain homeostasis through continual interactions between the internal and external environments as they progress through the life span. The response to this dynamic interaction is what determines the clients' status on the wellness-illness continuum and will dictate the focus of the nurses' interaction with the clients. Client centered nursing care must incorporate the beliefs, practices and behaviors of the clients and their families.
The faculty believes that nursing is an art and a science that provides service based on research and education. Nursing is the diagnosis and treatment of human responses to actual or potential health problems within established legal and ethical parameters. Caring is reflected in the nurses' response to the needs of the clients and their families. Nursing practice is based on the nursing process, which requires assessment, critical thinking, decision-making, implementation and evaluation. The nurse in his/her role as provider, coordinator of care and member of the profession focuses on health promotion, disease prevention, health restoration, health maintenance, and client advocacy. Nursing practice collaborates with the health care team to coordinate human, material and technical resources in providing quality care for a group of clients and their families in a variety of structured health care settings.
The faculty believes that the education of nurses for practice within the profession implies a dedication and commitment to inculcate and maintain the standards established by the profession.

Just for fun, which movie "John" is your favorite?
John McClane
John Rambo
John Connor
Meh.. John Connor, I guess. Mostly because hes the only one from that list I know.
John Connor is a little bitch for most of T2 and T3, no real respect there.
John Rambo had a good first movie than it was just pointless action movies.
John McClane, between the wise cracks, awesome plans, and the fact he does most movies injured from bad guys. Makes him the best.
Bow down before our new furry overlords!
No I haven't. They're from last millennium unless I'm mistaken:P Of course I've heard of them and seen a few parody scenes about them but that's pretty much all.
In any case, even if I had, Id still pick Connor. Action movies with nothing supernatural or sci-fi in them are just boring.
It's a hard choice between Rambo and McClane but I picked Rambo just because I watched those more often than Die Hard.
"Nothing is over! Nothing! You just don't turn it off! It wasn't my war! You asked me, I didn't ask you! And I did what I had to do to win! But somebody wouldn't let us win! And I come back to the world and I see all those maggots at the airport, protesting me, spitting. Calling me baby killer and all kinds of vile crap! Who are they to protest me? Who are they? Unless they've been me and been there and know what the hell they're yelling about! " -Rambo

"Wine was invented by the Romans... for orgies. And orgies are not too much fun if no-one wants to do it with you."
"What the heck you gonna do if you're on a picnic and have an ice cream and the ants crawl on the ice cream, what are you gonna do? You're gonna eat the ants because it's made out of protein."
For your health.
"Equality is a lie…A myth to appease the masses. Simply look around and you will see the lie for what it is. There are those with power, those with the strength and will to lead. And there are those meant to follow—those incapable of anything but servitude and a meager, worthless existence.
How can you forget Jean-Claude Van Damme? Is it because he's European?
I don't know McClane, but between Connor and Rambo, I'd have to say Rambo, despite the fact that Connor had the best movie by a mile.
Of course, they'd all lose to John Smith from Mr and Mrs Smith. Nobody's ever been emasculated by his woman quite like him.
Bon Jovi? ;D
Signature by the wonderful Shyama
John McClane because Die hard, that's why.
Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker.

Brilliant dynamic song. A fab tune, and lyrics that mean so much to everyone! A great forest party video that sets it off too!

More comments about If I Had YouListen to sample
My favorite song off trespassing, and tied with whataya want from me for best song by the one and only adam lambert! (and if I had you, time for miracles, mad world, never close our eyes, aftermath... DAMN all his songs are amazing! ) also definitely the most underrated! Hard to showcase the billion notes adam can reach with his EXTRAORDINARY voice, but in runnin' he ascends like 3 octaves, no sweat! Such a shame not many people have heard this, if they have it would be voted high up in the top ten where it belongs!
Just so catchy! I can't stop listening to it! His voice sounds amazing I definitely recommend this song to everyone!
Runnin, Nivana, Take Back, Underneath are four of my favorite songs from Trespassing. Adam is a brilliant writer and singer. There isn't anyone better in this country. I really love everything he sings. Covers: Stay, Dragon Attack, Is This Love, All Queen songs. The guy is the best.

7Outlaws of Love
This is what you get when you mix emotion, honesty, and beauty into a song sung by the best modern day male vocalist; perfection in the most breathtaking form possible. The first time I heard this song it practically destroyed me. I still cry every time I hear it, even after listening to it so much. One of my favorite songs ever.
This is one of the best song I've ever heard... This song is so emotional n soothing that it sends a ripple through your body... I just can't get enough of this song... Every time I listen, it makes me listen even more... Just awesome track... Deserves to b in d top 3... Just listen to this track once, it's worth every second of listening.
This is the first time ever I have cried over a song. The soft sweet emotional vocals with the beautifully soft instrumental melody line plus the touching and honest lyrics makes this song PERFECTION. It is such a simple little song with too much meaning in it. This lets you see the pain Adam Lambert and millions of other LGBT people feel. Words can not describe the actual beauty of this masterpiece.

This song is amazing cause it has an awesome dance vibe, it's real sexy, so fierce, and it just contains so many adommy feels! Amazing song! I personally can't choose a favourite Adam song, though, they're all just so amazing!

The Amazing Race mantra is often "never give up," but three teams didn't get the memo on the Season 22 premiere. After hours of searching through 400 sandcastles for a clue to no avail, newlyweds Max and Katie, country singers Caroline and Jennifer, and firefighters Matt and Daniel agreed to quit the Roadblock and take a four-hour penalty so they could move on to the next task and start on even ground to stay in the Race. Unfortunately for the firefighters, it was a bad call, as the next task was to row to the Pit Stop in a tiny Bora Bora canoe called a va'a that could not handle their weight. "The other teams probably didn't weight 100 pounds with both of them in it," Daniel tells TVGuide.com. "It was 600 pounds between me and Matt and a French guy [in the boat with us]." Still, the two insist that they don't regret throwing in the towel. read more

The experience of Cory Kratz, friend of a friend: "South African Airways is without a doubt the most outrageous, heartless and cruel airline in existence. My husband died on 17 September, so I had to cancel a ticket that I had booked to travel about 2 weeks later. They refuse to refund the fare, though I have offered to provide a copy of the death certificate. To make it even worse, their so-called "Customer Service" office and refund offices are set up in such a way that one cannot phone them and get a human being to talk to. They contrast with every other company I have dealt with. Delta and Air France both issued refunds almost immediately, as did some 4-5 hotel companies. South African Airways has no concern or compassion for its passengers and customers. Utterly outrageous and hurtful to have to deal with this at this time."

Professor of Astronomy,

University of Cambridge
The main focus of my current research is in the study of galaxy formation and evolution in the Epoch of Reionization ; focusing on the discovery of high redshift primeval galaxies and quasars powered by the accretion of matter onto supermassive black holes. I work on the determination of the space densities, star formation rates and how and when galaxies and quasars form. I have worked on the experimental determination of the total mass of the Universe and rate of gravitational deceleration of the Universe. This work via the discovery of distant Supernova resulted in the unexpected discovery that the expansion of the Universe is accelerating. I am interesting in the use of quasar light curve time delay measurements for gravitationally lensed quasars and the detection of Baryon Acoustic Oscillations in quasar absorption lines caused by Hydrogen in order to determine whether the acceleration requires a new form Dark Energy or modifications to General Relativity on large (Giga light year) scales. My current research focuses on the discovery and study of high redshift galaxies and quasars that contain supermassive (100-1000 million Solar mass) black holes; determining how their space density, star formation and accretion properties evolve with redshift; and using the quasars to probe the baryonic content of the Universe via intervening absorption lines from H, C, N, O. My group has pioneered the use of high redshift quasars to determine the mass of neutral hydrogen in the high redshift Universe via intervening absorption lines imprinted on the spectra of background high redshift quasars. I have also pioneered the use of mm and submm microwave radiation to determine the star formation rate in quasar host galaxies. I am the Principal Investigator (PI) of the VISTA Hemisphere Survey(VHS) which is an ambitious new near Infra-Red sky survey project which started in April, 2010. VHS has been been awarded around 300 clear nights over a 5 year period on the new 4.2m ESO VISTA telescope in Chile. I lead the quasar science working group in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) project which has built the largest CCD camera in existence and has been awarded 500 nights on the CTIO 4m telescope in Chile to use this camera to observe at optical wavelengths part of the sky that will be surveyed in the near Infra-Red with the VISTA Hemisphere Survey. I am also working on the 4MOST project which is designing a wide field spectroscopic instrument for the VISTA telescope. Other projects that I am involved in, are the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) project and the ESA satellite mission EUCLID The exploitation of the extremely large datasets from these new surveys requires the use and development of scalable 'Big Data' data-mining techniques that are robust to the effects of 'bad data'; distributed databases; machine-learning techniques such as decision trees, supervised learning and multi-dimensional data visualisation techniques.

It has been a long, long, but good day. We rose early this morning…and the last drink Jack could have was @ 7am. No food this morning was allowed. There is much I could share by way of details on the day, but really am too tired to type it all out. The waiting to go into surgery was tough. Had to be there @ 9, we got there a little early. Surgery was scheduled for 10:30, but Jack didn't get in there till closer to 12:30. Long day of waiting. Jack did amazing, never asked for anything to drink or eat, until he saw the water fountain around Noon…and that was probably more him wanting to play with the water than to drink it. The surgery went very well. Dr Waner and his team are amazing; his maker far more. Jack has to wear these little arm braces to keep his hands away from his face so he doesn't play with his stitches. Once we convinced him they were robot arms he was surprisingly okay with wearing them. Though his lip is and will be swollen for several days, his smile is remarkably beautiful. You can see all his teeth and there is no big bump popping out. I was so happy seeing that. They are running a biopsy on the legion they removed from under his lip. Thank you for praying with us through this. We have felt your prayers…and the fact that Jack was singing his songs tonight is the fruit of so many of your sweet prayers. Thank you!
Very early in little Jack's life we noticed that his top lip had a little bump or growth of some kind on it. When he was a little over a year old upon our pediatrician's recommendation in Tennessee, we took Jack to a doctor at Vanderbilt. He told us that the bump on Jack's lip was a vascular malformation and recommended us to a doctor that was in New York City, Dr. Milton Waner. We were living in Clarksville, TN at the time and could not afford the flights or out of network surgery at the time. In God's providence a year later, we find ourselves living in New York and were able to walk down the street to Dr. Waner's office. Our understanding of the caliber doctor that Dr. Waner is has been growing ever since we heard of him and we are so grateful that he will be operating on Jack in the morning. After looking at Jack's lip just for a moment, he turned to me and said that he didn't know what it was, but that it needed to be removed, and that they'd take it to the lab and see what exactly it was. He said that it was probably either a cyst on a saliva gland or possibly a hemangioma. In short our time with Dr. Waner and his office has been amazing. They have been the most compassionate and seemingly competent physicians I have been around. Very comforting for a parent.
Jack's surgery is in the morning @ 10:30am. Thank you for your prayers for him. Below are a few links of videos and articles about some of Dr. Waner's work.

You may or may not have heard by now that our Worship Pastor @ The Gallery Church, Paul Ramey recently resigned. I first met Paul and his wife Meredith when I was working on the Passion Tour back in 2001. We stayed in touch, saw each other a conferences, and actually got to lead some retreats and conferences together. It did not take much time with Paul and Mer before they become some of my very favorite people. Their love for life, people, and God is authentic and contagious. So, I was crazy stoked when they sensed God's leadership to move to NYC to partner with us on mission @ The Gallery Church. Needless to say I was crazy sad when they recently decided to move back to Portland, OR after being in NYC for about nine months. Paul had immediate impact on the people @ The Gallery and in NYC. He is a very sensitive pastor and gifted musician. He will be tremendously missed by the Gallery family. Paul and Mer have three boys Noah (12), Evan (10), and Jonah (8). Paul's decision to move back to Portland was primarily motivated by his love and care for his family. Without going into details, the city was very difficult for the boys and thus for Meredith. In a day when many pastor's have sacrificed their family for the ministry, I am grateful for men like Paul who refuse to do so. I cherish the time we have had with the Ramey's and consider it a gift from God to have gotten to do local church ministry and church planting at that, with Paul. We love the Ramey family and will miss them very much.
If you are reading this today, you are probably a good friend who cares about what God is doing with us in NYC. Thanks for trackin with us.

We've got much to be thankful for. First for you if you are reading this and praying for us, we thank God for you! I have experienced a bit of God's jaw dropping provision the last week or so.
We've asked you to pray for our dear friends and partners in mission Corey and Leann Boyd and in particular for their house to sell. They moved to NYC with gutsy faith that their house would sell, without which, they probably could not remain in NYC for any significant length of time. God loves when His children trust Him. In the eleventh hour it was not looking real good for the sell of the house and the Boyd's were wrestling with what that meant for them. Did I mention that Leann has been in Clarksville for the last three or four weeks with Ezra teaching school to maintain their health insurance and to have their baby Elias. Well, while we were thinking it was the 11th hour, the LORD was calmly orchestrating his sovereign will, knowing He His timing is always right. So, just over a week ago Corey told me that the school that he was teaching at offered him and Leann a studio apartment in the building for $300 a month. Absolutely jaw dropping! It is hard to even fathom that apartments like this exist. Everyone that lives in NY that has heard about this has had the same response…jaw dropped. Perhaps a bigger jaw drop is in order @ Leann's willingness to live in the studio. Granted it has an amazing view of the Manhattan skyline (the school and the apartment are in Queens), but it will be urban living to the max. I typically read missionary biographies for inspiration, but here lately, I simply watch my brother and sister in Christ in action. Please pray for Corey and Leann as they continue to be away from one another for another couple of weeks and for the delivery of little Elias, and for their transition back into their studio apartment. Now you may be wondering, what about their house in TN, we've been praying for it to sell. Well, just today, Corey told me that they have an offer on their house that they are accepting! So not only do they have the cheapest (nice and clean) studio apartment in NYC, but now they have sold their house, which positions them for focused ministry here in NYC for some significant amount of time. All quite amazing. It has been such an awesome journey to watch Corey and Leann's faith and their faithful Father's provision, every step of the way, at just the right times. Our worship has been fueled! A few minutes after getting off the phone with Corey, the doctor's office called and told me that they were able to negotiate with our insurance company and Jack's surgery will be completely covered by insurance. I had to search back through the blog to see if we've even talked about that on here and to my surprise we had not. So I will be giving details on all of that very soon! I'll also update in the next few days with an update about Paul Ramey and his family. Till then, revel in gratitude with us in God's jaw dropping provision. I guess if our faith wasn't so small, our jaws would not be so dropped. He is who He says He is.
There is a lot to report on and much to pray toward. Thanks for continuing to track with us!
Susan and I got to spend a few days in Charleston, SC participating in and celebrating the wedding of a great friend, Tom Duttweiler. We decided to make an early 5-year anniversary trip out of it (September 4th is the official day). A long time friend offered us great help on a hotel through a "friends and family" discount they have. My parents continued to demonstrate their heroic powers by coming to NYC and staying with our three kids for four nights. I think it wore them out. Susan and I were greatly refreshed. We needed the time together more than we realized. We enjoyed some of the first non-exhausted, undistracted conversation in a long time. We had good rest and were able to get refueled for a great fall.
Gallery Church Retreat.
The week after Charleston we held our first Gallery Church Wide retreat. God was gracious to us as over 50 adults and 9 kids retreated in the Poconos. That is over half of our average Sunday attendance! The pace of our retreat was exactly what New Yorkers needed as we took time to be still before God. Our teaching focused on God's sovereignty in salvation, suffering, and our strengths. Challenging conversations were had by all. Fresh antisipation and faith was stirred as we considered how God has uniquely gifted all of us for service and all that He will do in our midst this fall.
Praying toward the Fall.
Please continue to pray with and for us. I believe God is positioning us for a fantastic fall for spiritual and numerical growth in the Gallery Church.
There are more specifics that I will continue to share with you in the days to come!
A new apartment?
Having never lived in Manhattan before (formerly we were in New Brunswick), Susan and I with the counsel of those living in NYC, charted a budget the best we could before we arrived last October. We wound that budget as tightly as possible. As we took our vision and budget before churches we met a lady in MO that I'll never forget. She exclaimed "You'll never make it with that grocery budget!" And though the grocery budget has worked out rather well, several other unforeseen expenses have required us to put a significant dent in our very modest savings. So, though things are very tight, we are not worried as God has met all of our needs during this amazing faith journey. We are however, excited about begin able to reduce our cost of living through a new apartment. Our current apartment has been a perfect grace from God and I could list a dozen reasons why. However, because the market dropped right after we moved in, and because we've had the opportunity to scout out the kinds of places that are available, we are confident that we can find cheaper rent that still meets our needs. Our greatest heartache will be moving off our floor away from several relationships we have been investing in. Though we can continue these relationships, it will not be quite as easy. Jack has two really good buddies on our floor. One of our neighbors died this week, while another had a baby this week. Please pray with us.
All reports are saying that this the best time to rent/buy/move in NYC in a decade. As crazy as it sounds, we will probably be able to find an apartment with an extra bedroom that is still significantly cheaper than our current rent. This is especially exciting because God has been burdening a good friend of ours to live the mission with us in NYC as our nanny/family helper. Thus, an extra bedroom would fulfill a critical piece. While in Charleston, Susan and I had the privilege of visiting with a couple who had served as missionaries to Africa for 19 years. We gained great insight and encouragement as we asked them lots of questions about their experiences of having people live with them in Africa. This is just one of the many ways God has been confirming this opportunity. Please pray for this process to be smooth and magnifying to Jesus in every way!
Thanks again for continuing to track with us! God is at work. We are humbled. We need your continued support!

PIX: Defying bandh call, Meghalaya registers 88% voting
Meghalaya recorded 88 per cent polling and Nagaland 83.27 per cent in the assembly elections held on Saturday, which passed off peacefully barring a few minor incidents in Nagaland.
The counting would be held on February 28.
Meghalaya recorded a high turnout defying a bandh call by militants in some districts and came close to its last time turnout of 89.04 per cent.
Nagaland had recorded 86.19 per cent voting in the last assembly polls.
In the bye-elections to six assembly constituencies which were also peaceful, Chalfilh in Mizoram recorded 78 per cent voting, Bhatpar in Uttar Pradesh 50 per cent and Moga in Punjab recorded 70.33 per cent polling, Deputy Election Commissioner Alok Shukla told reporters.

In the bypolls to three assembly constituencies in West Bengal, Nalhati Birbhum recorded 65 per cent polling, English Bazar in Malda district 75 per cent and Rejinagar in Murshidabad district recorded 72 per cent polling.
Defying a bandh called by militants in seven districts, 88 per cent of the 15.03 lakh electorate cast their votes to elect 60 members from among 345 candidates in the election to the ninth Meghalaya Assembly today.
State's Chief Election Officer P Naik said voting was more intense in the Khasi Jaintia Hills region despite a 36-hour bandh called from 6:00 pm yesterday by the banned Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council in seven districts.
Brisk polling was recorded in Nagaland for 59 seats of the state assembly amidst unprecendented security. Polling has been adjourned in Tuensang sadar seat following the sudden death of Congress candidate P Chuba Chang on Friday.
Enthusiasm was noticed among the electorate following calls by Nagaland Baptist Church Council and Election Commission for 'one person one vote'.

Prominent candidates whose fates were sealed in EVMs were Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, Speaker Kiyanilie Peseyie, Opposition Leader Tokheho Yepthomi, Congress president SI Jamir and former Home Minister Imkong L Imchen from Koridang.
State's Chief Electoral Officer J Alam said voting percentage could rise as there were still people in queue, particularly in Mokokchung and Wokha districts.
He said that repoll would be held in three polling stations - Hoshepu in Zunheboto district, polling station number 17 in Chizami Zavame village in Phek district and Ghaspani-II in Dimapur district. The date of repolling would be announced by Sunday, he said.
At Hoshepu, armed miscreants prevented polling from being held. At Zavame, EVMs and the electoral roll were damaged and at Ghaspani-II voting could not be held because of a clash between supporters of two candidates, he said.
Asked about Assam police allegedly preventing polling at Ladigarh in Tamlu constituency in Longleng district, Alam said that he accepted that there were problems, but the final report from the district administration and returning officer were awaited.
In Meghalaya, Chief Electoral Officer P Naik said polling was peaceful in the state except for a few stray incidents.

The fate of at least four former chief ministers, three from Congress, including the outgoing CM Mukul Sangma, party chief D D Lapang and S C Marak were sealed in today's polling.
Defying the 36-hour bandh called by the Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC), people in large numbers were seen queuing up even beyond the stipulated time of 4 PM in several polling stations in Garo hills.
Stray incidents were reported in West Jaintia Hills district in which a woman candidate of the BJP has sought repoll in at least four polling stations under Wahjajer constituency.
Police have rounded up eight persons and arrested a BJP supporter for allegedly trying to damage a voting machine at a polling booth.
The candidate, V N Lamare, however, alleged that polling agents from the Congress chased her agents, besides threatening to assault them and demanded repoll from the Election Commission.
The ruling Congress is the only party contesting all the 60 seats followed by the UDP in 50 seats. The P A Sangma led National Peoples' Party, in the opposition, is contesting 32 seats.

Acanthamoeba keratitis: an emerging disease gathering importance worldwide? Trends in Parasitology, Volume 29, Issue 4, 1 April 2013, Pages 181-187 Jacob Lorenzo-Morales, Carmen Mª Martín-Navarro, Atteneri López-Arencibia, Francisco Arnalich-Montiel, José E. Piñero and Basilio Valladares Abstract Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) is increasingly being recognized as a severe sight-threatening ocular infection worldwide. Although contact lens wear is the leading risk factor for AK, Acanthamoeba parasites are also an important cause of keratitis in non-contact lens wearers. Diagnosis of AK is challenging, and the available treatments are lengthy and not fully effective against all strains. The pathogenesis of Acanthamoeba is still under study, and the identification of the key factors involved in this process should be useful for the development of fully effective therapies. This review focuses on recent developments on AK pathogenesis and diagnosis as well as novel strategies for the evaluation of anti-amoebic agents that could be applied in the near future against these pathogens.

The pathophysiology of Acanthamoeba keratitis Trends in Parasitology, Volume 22, Issue 4, 1 April 2006, Pages 175-180 Daniel W. Clarke and Jerry Y. Niederkorn Abstract Acanthamoeba keratitis is a sight-threatening infection of the ocular surface that is produced by several free-living amebae of the genus Acanthamoeba. Infection is usually initiated by Acanthamoeba-contaminated contact lenses and produces exquisite pain and ulceration of the ocular surface. The pathophysiology of this infection involves an intricate series of sequential events that includes the production of several pathogenic proteases that degrade basement membranes and induce cytolysis and apoptosis of the cellular elements of the cornea, culminating in dissolution of the collagenous corneal stroma. Targeting such proteases could lead to the development of vaccines that target the disease process rather than the pathogen itself. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (307 kb) |
Area 51: How do Acanthamoeba invade the central nervous system? Trends in Parasitology, Volume 27, Issue 5, 1 May 2011, Pages 185-189 Ruqaiyyah Siddiqui, Richard Emes, Hany Elsheikha and Naveed Ahmed Khan Abstract Acanthamoeba granulomatous encephalitis generally develops as a result of haematogenous spread, but it is unclear how circulating amoebae enter the central nervous system (CNS) and cause inflammation. At present, the mechanisms which Acanthamoeba use to invade this incredibly well-protected area of the CNS and produce infection are not well understood. In this paper, we propose two key virulence factors: mannose-binding protein and extracellular serine proteases as key players in Acanthamoeba traversal of the blood–brain barrier leading to neuronal injury. Both molecules should provide excellent opportunities as potential targets in the rational development of therapeutic interventions against Acanthamoeba encephalitis.

Proteins that cross-link actin filaments can either form bundles of parallel filaments or isotropic networks of individual filaments. We have found that mixtures of actin filaments with alpha-actinin purified from either Acanthamoeba castellanii or chicken smooth muscle can form bundles or isotropic networks depending on their concentration. Low concentrations of alpha-actinin and actin filaments form networks indistinguishable in electron micrographs from gels of actin alone. Higher concentrations of alpha-actinin and actin filaments form bundles. The threshold for bundling depends on the affinity of the alpha-actinin for actin. The complex of Acanthamoeba alpha-actinin with actin filaments has a Kd of 4.7 microM and a bundling threshold of 0.1 microM; chicken smooth muscle has a Kd of 0.6 microM and a bundling threshold of 1 microM. The physical properties of isotropic networks of cross-linked actin filaments are very different from a gel of bundles: the network behaves like a solid because each actin filament is part of a single structure that encompasses all the filaments. Bundles of filaments behave more like a very viscous fluid because each bundle, while very long and stiff, can slip past other bundles. We have developed a computer model that predicts the bundling threshold based on four variables: the length of the actin filaments, the affinity of the alpha-actinin for actin, and the concentrations of actin and alpha-actinin.

Apple strikes deal with Sony for streaming iTunes music service - report
Apple has reportedly inked a licensing deal with Sony Corp.'s music division to begin offering the label's catalog in the cloud, leaving Universal Music Group as the last holdout among the major record labels.Bloomberg reports that Apple has reached licensing accords with Sony Corp., EMI Group, and Warner Music Group to allow users to access song collections from mobile devices via the Internet. Prior reports had noted that EMI and Warner were on board with Apple's plan for a cloud-based service.
Though Universal Music Group, the largest recording company, has yet to agree to a deal, Apple and the label are close to reaching an agreement, according to one person with knowledge of the deals. After signing licensing agreements with the labels, Apple would also need to renegotiate agreements with music publishers, which control different rights than the labels, the report noted.
Sources said plans for the new service could be previewed as early as next month at Apple's sold-out Worldwide Developer Conference. According to a report last month, Apple has finished work on the service, which is being held up by pending music label and publisher agreements.
People familiar with the matter said Apple's rumored cloud music service won't require users to upload online collections, giving the company a significant advantage over rivals Google and Amazon. Amazon launched its Cloud Drive and Cloud Player services in March, and Google launched a Music Beta cloud service last week.
Although Google and Amazon beat Apple to market with their cloud music services, music industry sources have expressed the belief that Apple's take on cloud music will be vastly superior. Both Google and Amazon reportedly chose not to secure music label support before launching their services.
Mounting evidence suggests that Apple is planning a new "iCloud" service. AppleInsider exclusively reported last month that Apple's plans for iCloud include more than just streaming music. Sources suggest that iCloud will be the central component of a revamped MobileMe that could bring a variety of personal data and media into the cloud.
After getting off to a rocky start, MobileMe struggled to gain traction. In 2008, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the MobileMe team to task for the service's troubled launch. "You've tarnished Apple's reputation..." Jobs reportedly said. "You should hate each other for having let each other down "

Narron: Bailey's OK in spotlight
Narron: Bailey's OK in spotlight
Click-2-Listen By Hal McCoy Staff Writer Thursday, February 22, 2007 SARASOTA, Fla. For Homer Bailey, a laptop is a laptop. Every morning at about 8:30, he is seated in front of his locker with a white Mac iBook on his lap. "Four years old and been all over the world with me," said Bailey, working on e-mails. "Even though a key is missing (the letter 'j'). I just hit it hard and it still works." Is Bailey the missing key in the Cincinnati Reds rotation? He certainly is a focal point for visiting media, a 20-year-old kid receiving a lot of attention. Manager Jerry Narron believes the Reds' No. 1 draft pick in 2004 can carry it on his broad shoulders. "It doesn't concern him because he knows he is pretty good," Narron said. "He knows he has a chance to be pretty good. He also is smart enough to know he isn't going to come right to the major-league level and dominate right from the beginning. He is smart enough to know that and seems very level-headed. "He works hard, has great stuff and has great makeup and will get every chance," Narron added. As far as Bailey starting games when the exhibition season begins, Narron is playing it coy and said, "If he starts, I'm not going to tell anybody until the day before. If we have a spot where we can work him in, we'll do it. But we have other guys ahead of him in that regard. "We'll give him a chance to pitch some this spring, with nothing more defined than for any other pitcher. Hopefully he'll do well and get some more innings. It all depends on how he pitches early, how he throws, how he commands his stuff. "I told all the pitchers the first day that I'm sorry to say that everybody will not get the same opportunity," Narron added. "I won't lie to them and say they'll all get the same chance, but they're not. Everyone is not going to get the same opportunity, but if they do well they'll be back out there." Listen to the radio Marty Brennaman and his son, Thom, begin their work together on the Reds Radio Network on March 1 in Bradenton, Fla., against the Pittsburgh Pirates, the team's first exhibition game. Newly hired broadcaster Jeff Brantley and Thom Brennaman will do the second game, a night game March 2 in Fort Myers, Fla., against Minnesota. Marty Brennaman and Joe Nuxhall, health permitting, are scheduled for the Sarasota home opener March 3 at Ed Smith Stadium against Minnesota. Paging Mr. Wilson Pitcher Paul Wilson realizes this probably is his last hurrah after a litany of injuries the past two years. Nobody is pulling harder for him than Narron. "He works so hard and will be as prepared as well as he possibly can," Narron said. "It's a matter of whether his arm comes back to where it was. He deserves a chance and he'll get an opportunity. If he comes back we'd have our No. 1 starter from a couple of years ago be our No. 5 starter." Wilson was the team's best starter in 2004, going 11-6 with a 4.36 ERA, leading the team in starts (29), quality starts (16) and innings pitched (183.2). He was the Opening Day starter in 2005. http://www.daytondailynews.com/s/con...redsnotes.html |

Re: Narron: Bailey's OK in spotlight
Future may come early for ace Bailey
By JON STYF firstname.lastname@example.com SARASOTA -- Baseball legends like Johnny Bench can come and go from the Cincinnati Reds' spring training complex without hardly being noticed by fans looking for autographs. But whenever Homer Bailey strolls out to the parking lot, you hear the cries. "Homer, can you sign this?" In the short-term memory world of baseball, the 20-year-old is all the buzz around Reds camp this season, even though he's thrown just one bullpen session since pitchers reported and has never played above Double-A. "The only time I think about it (the attention) is when you guys ask me about it," Bailey said. "I kind of take it with a grain of salt." In camp, however, he's just one of the mass. He and his fellow pitchers have been spending their days working on their fielding hoping to avoid the fate of last year's Detroit Tigers, whose pitchers set a World Series record with an error in five straight games. Since starting his second pro season with a modest 3-5 record in the Florida State League as a Sarasota Red, interest in Bailey -- the No. 7 overall pick in the 2004 June Baseball Draft out of high school -- has skyrocketed. He joined the playoff race with the Double-A Chattanooga (Tenn.) Lookouts and immediately became their star, pitching six scoreless innings while hitting 98 mph on the radar gun with a fastball on his 96th pitch. "I was here (Sarasota) more to work than necessarily compete," Bailey said. "Once I got to Chattanooga, I just let go and tried to go out and win games. I had to go in and show them I could help." Immediately the buzz began for Bailey to become a late-season major-league call-up, especially after getting the win in July's nationally televised MLB Futures Game. The Reds, however, balked at throwing their top prospect and the organization's Minor League Player of the Year into that situation. This spring, though, they have taken the kid gloves off. The youngster has a shot at making the Opening Day roster as the team's fifth starter behind Bronson Arroyo, Aaron Harang, Eric Milton and Kyle Lohse. If not, he'll likely start the season at Triple-A Louisville. "If I'm up there, I want it to be because I earned it and did well," Bailey said. "I'm not overly impatient about it." The attention surrounding a pitching prospect like Bailey is heightened because the Reds haven't had anything comparable in recent memory. And with the success of rookie pitchers like Los Angeles' Jared Weaver, Minnesota's Francisco Liriano and Detroit's Justin Verlander last season, there is hope that Bailey could lead this year's class. But none of that seems to faze the laid-back pitcher who spends his offseason hunting and wears cowboy boots to work. "I don't think it concerns him," Reds manager Jerry Narron said. "I think he knows he's pretty good, and I think he knows he's got a chance to be pretty good. I think he's smart enough to know too that he's not going to come to the major-league level and just dominate from the beginning." One of the obstacles he'll have to clear this season is learning to use his offspeed pitches, a curveball and changeup that he didn't need much last year. Major-league hitters are used to fastballs, so Bailey will have to adapt, something he is confident he can do. "My game plan (last year) was to make them hit the fastball first because it's the toughest thing for them to hit," Bailey said. "Once they start sitting and looking for it, then I'll throw something offspeed." Narron is staying tight-lipped about his exact plans for Bailey this spring, admitting he'll get a chance but adding, "I know what I'm going to do, but I'm not going to tell you." Starting a game, especially at home, is still an uncertainty. "If he starts, I'm not going to tell (the media) until the day he probably starts," Narron said. "If we've got a spot where we might be able to work him in, yeah. But he's got other guys ahead of him in that respect. http://www.heraldtribune.com/app |

Re: Narron: Bailey's OK in spotlight
A great spring from Bailey would make it really hard to send him to Louisville to start the season. If he struggles with his off speed, that's where I believe he should go. Here's to a great camp for Homer.

Produced jointly between UNEP-WCMC and UNEP's Division of Technology, Industry and Economics, this document reviews the business case for biodiversity; provides an overview of impacts by sector and highlights existing and potential opportunities for companies. The document covers a wide range of sectors and complements existing and ongoing work on business and biodiversity.
Resource Type: ReportsAn international team of research scientists has created a peer-reviewed website, http://www.arctic.noaa.gov/reportcard/, which tracks multiple changes in the Arctic environment (Fig. 1). While the 2007 loss of summertime sea ice is the most dramatic example, changes are also seen in the atmosphere, on land and in the ocean, and as shifts in location and abundance of Arctic species.
Resource Type: ReportsArctic ecosystems are harsh and inhospitable, containing very low species diversity. However, although the habitats are relatively homogeneous throughout the circumpolar Arctic region, differences in species richness and areas of outstanding species richness can be recognised. Analysis of patterns in species diversity can be used to prioritise regions for conservation in the Arctic. Towards this goal, the Conservation of Arctic Flora and Fauna (CAFF) programme has been compiling information on the distribution and abundance of species and ecosystems in the Arctic. The work described in this report was designed to complement other ongoing projects and was included in the CAFF V work plan. It was carried out under an EU fellowship at UNEP-WCMC.
Resource Type: ReportsAn assessment of impacts on Arctic terrestrial ecosystems has emphasized geographical variability in responses of species and ecosystems to environmental change. This variability is usually associated with north-south gradients in climate, biodiversity, vegetation zones, and ecosystem structure and function. It is clear, however, that significant east-west variability in environment, ecosystem structure and function, environmental history, and recent climate variability is also important.Some areas have cooled while others have become warmer.
Overall, the subregional synthesis demonstrates the difficulty of generalizing projections of responses of ecosystem structure and function, species loss, and biospheric feedbacks to the climate system for the whole Arctic region and implies a need for a far greater understanding of the spatial variability in the responses of terrestrial arctic ecosystems to climate change.

Ximu Stone Shed Scenic Spot
Last updated by chinatravel at 2013-10-30
Ximu Stone Shut was built by stone and looks like a shut, so people call it Stone Shut. There were original two shuts which together were called "Aunt and Sister-in-law Stone" and now the "Sister-in-law Stone" has been destroyed while the "Aunt Stone" is still preserved well. The whole shut is made from six slates which are joined together with tenons. This shut is a rectangle with 2.8 meters high. It is a large stone tomb for the chiefs, headmen and slave owners of the ancient clan tribe.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The death penalty trial of a man charged with killing two police officers opened Monday with an investigator admitting he threw away notes, a prosecutor taking the witness stand, and a defendant never uttering a word.
Demeatrius Montgomery, 28, who initially refused to appear in court, is on trial for the 2007 killings of Officers Jeff Shelton and Sean Clark, who were shot in a surprise attack at an east Charlotte apartment complex. He has pleaded not guilty.
In a courtroom filled with police officers and family of the victims as well as the accused, Judge Forrest Bridges spent the day sorting out pre-trial motions. Montgomery sat silently in an orange jail uniform, his arms and legs shackled. A deputy sat at arm's length behind him.
Much of the day focused on a motion calling for the case to be dismissed because of wrongdoing by a detective.
Arvin Fant, who was transferred out of the homicide unit Saturday, testified that he discarded some notes he took while investigating the shootings. In other notes, he said, he used another officer's writings to refresh his memory about interviews.
In several instances, Fant said he cut and pasted notes from another officer into his own notes. He explained that he was simply trying to rewrite his inadequate notes that were hard to read, then threw the originals away.
"I shouldn't have done it. It was a mistake on my part," Fant said. "But I didn't mean any bad intention."
Defense attorneys contended his actions violate N.C. laws that require sharing all evidence before a trial. They also claim that partial notes they did receive from Fant suggest another man who looked like Montgomery was spotted near the crime scene.
But Fant and prosecutors asserted that he hadn't discarded anything that would benefit Montgomery's case. Prosecutors called Fant's actions inexcusable, but also pointed out that his notes simply documented interviews that were also recorded, so no evidence has actually been lost.
Judge Bridges is expected to rule on the motion today.
In another twist, Assistant District Attorney Marsha Goodenow was called to the stand to recount how she learned what Fant had done.
In late July, she said, Montgomery's attorneys asked her about inconsistencies in Fant's notes.
She met with Fant and his superiors. At one meeting, she said, Fant seemed defensive.
He phoned her the next day, saying he wanted to talk. She expected an apology for his previous demeanor. Instead, he revealed more details about discarding notes.
"At that point, I didn't ask him a single question. I knew I was in a predicament. I did not want to be called as a witness in this case," she said. "And I told him (defense attorneys) would be coming after him."
Fant is under investigation. Prosecutors said he admitted doing similar things with notes in other cases. Police Chief Rodney Monroe, who attended the trial, said he wants to wait for a ruling on the motion before commenting on Fant.
When the trial opened at 10 a.m., Montgomery refused to come out of his cell.
His attorney, Duane Bryant, told the judge his client has said virtually nothing about the crimes since he was arrested 31/2 years ago. And he continued his refusal to speak to them Monday.
"He made no comment, no reaction, he refused to get dressed," Bryant said. "My exact words (to him) were: 'Today's your trial date; you need to get ready to go.'"
Judge Bridges said he would not proceed without Montgomery. Before resorting to force, Bridges asked if Montgomery's family could persuade him to come to his trial.
An aunt was escorted back to speak to Montgomery. Soon after, the slight-framed defendant walked into the courtroom, with a light beard and his hair now closely cropped.
He wouldn't speak, even under questioning from the judge. He occasionally inclined his head to the left or made eye contact with family members sitting in the back of the court.
At one point, the judge instructed Montgomery to stand, then explained why it was important for him to speak up, ask questions and participate in his own trial.
"This is your case, this is not their case," Bridges said, referring to Montgomery's attorneys. "Because this is your case, you are in charge of the case."
He said he would take Montgomery's silence as his approval for his attorneys' actions in the trial.
After one break, attorney Bryant told the judge he believed Montgomery had indicated with a grunt that he did not want the lawyers assigned to his case.
Bridges again told Montgomery to speak up if he disagreed with something.
"Unless I hear otherwise from you, I'm going to operate under the assumption that you do not object to the things that your attorneys are doing," Bridges said.
Then he turned to Bryant: "He may not like you. He may wish he had some other lawyer representing him. But you are now married and you're required to live with each other for a while."
