Characterization of DNA/Lipid Complexes by Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 5, 1 November 2003, Pages 3106-3119 Catarina Madeira, Luís M.S. Loura, M. Raquel Aires-Barros, Aleksander Fedorov and Manuel Prieto Abstract Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) is a potential method for the characterization of DNA-cationic lipid complexes (lipoplexes). In this work, we used FRET models assuming a multilamellar lipoplex arrangement. The application of these models allows the determination of the distance between the fluorescent intercalator on the DNA and a membrane dye on the lipid, and/or the evaluation of encapsulation efficiencies of this liposomal vehicle. The experiments were carried out in 1,2-dioleoyl-3-trimethylammonium-propane/pUC19 complexes with different charge ratios. We used 2-(3-(diphenylhexatrienyl)propanoyl)-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPH-PC) and 2-(4,4-difluoro-5-octyl-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene-3-pentanoyl)-1-hexadecanoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (BODIPY-PC) as membrane dyes, and ethidium bromide (EtBr) and BOBO-1 as DNA intercalators. In cationic complexes (charge ratios (+/−)≥2), we verified that BOBO-1 remains bound to DNA, and FRET occurs to the membrane dye. This was also confirmed by anisotropy and lifetime measurements. In complexes with all DNA bound to the lipid (charge ratio (+/−)=4), we determined 27Å as the distance between the donor and acceptor planes (half the repeat distance for a multilamellar arrangement). In complexes with DNA unbound to the lipids (charge ratio (+/−)=0.5 and 2), we calculated the encapsulation efficiencies. The presented FRET methodology is, to our knowledge, the first procedure allowing quantification of lipid-DNA contact. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (348 kb) |
DNA Release from Lipoplexes by Anionic Lipids: Correlation with Lipid Mesomorphism, Interfacial Curvature, and Membrane Fusion Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 2, 1 August 2004, Pages 1054-1064 Yury S. Tarahovsky, Rumiana Koynova and Robert C. MacDonald Abstract DNA release from lipoplexes is an essential step during lipofection and is probably a result of charge neutralization by cellular anionic lipids. As a model system to test this possibility, fluorescence resonance energy transfer between DNA and lipid covalently labeled with Cy3 and BODIPY, respectively, was used to monitor the release of DNA from lipid surfaces induced by anionic liposomes. The separation of DNA from lipid measured this way was considerably slower and less complete than that estimated with noncovalently labeled DNA, and depends on the lipid composition of both lipoplexes and anionic liposomes. This result was confirmed by centrifugal separation of released DNA and lipid. X-ray diffraction revealed a clear correlation of the DNA release capacity of the anionic lipids with the interfacial curvature of the mesomorphic structures developed when the anionic and cationic liposomes were mixed. DNA release also correlated with the rate of fusion of anionic liposomes with lipoplexes. It is concluded that the tendency to fuse and the phase preference of the mixed lipid membranes are key factors for the rate and extent of DNA release. The approach presented emphasizes the importance of the lipid composition of both lipoplexes and target membranes and suggests optimal transfection may be obtained by tailoring lipoplex composition to the lipid composition of target cells.

Nanostructure of Cationic Lipid-Oligonucleotide Complexes Biophysical Journal, Volume 87, Issue 1, 1 July 2004, Pages 609-614 Sarah Weisman, Danielle Hirsch-Lerner, Yechezkel Barenholz and Yeshayahu Talmon Abstract Complexes (lipoplexes) between cationic liposomes and single-strand oligodeoxynucleotides (ODN) are potential delivery systems for antisense therapy. The nanometer-scale morphology of these assemblies is relevant to their transfection efficiency. In this work the monocationic lipid dioleoyloxytrimethylammoniumpropane, the neutral "helper" lipid cholesterol, and an 18-mer anti-bcl2 ODN were combined at different ratios. The lipoplexes formed were characterized for the quantity of ODN bound, for the degree of lipid mixing, and for their size. The nanostructure of the system was examined by cryogenic-temperature transmission electron microscopy, augmented by small-angle x-ray scattering. Addition of ODN to cationic liposomes induced both liposome aggregation and the formation of a novel condensed lamellar phase. This phase is proposed to be stabilized by anionic single-strand ODN molecules intercalated between cationic bilayers. The proportion of cholesterol present apparently did not affect the nature of lipoplex microstructure, but changed the interlamellar spacing. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (639 kb) |

Cationic lipid-nucleic acid complexes (lipoplexes) consisting of dioleoyltrimethylammoniumpropane (DOTAP) liposomes and plasmid DNA were prepared at various charge ratios (cationic group to nucleotide phosphate), and the excess component was separated from the lipoplex. We measured the stoichiometry of the lipoplex, noted its colloidal properties, and observed its morphology and structure by electron microscopy. The colloidal properties of the lipoplexes were principally determined by the cationic lipid/DNA charge ratio and were independent of the lipid composition. In lipoplexes, the lipid membranes as observed in freeze-fracture electron microscopy were deformed into high-radius-of-curvature features whose characteristics depended on the lipid composition. Lipoplexes prepared at a threefold or greater excess of either DOTAP or DNA could be resolved into complexes with a defined stoichiometry and the excess component by sedimentation to equilibrium on sucrose gradients. The separated, positively charged complex retained high transfection activity and had reduced toxicity. The negatively charged lipoplex showed increased transfection activity compared to the starting mixture. In cryoelectron micrographs the positively charged complex was spherical and contained a condensed but indistinct interior structure. In contrast, the separated negatively charged lipoplexes had a prominent internal 5.9±0.1-nm periodic feature with material projecting as spikes from the spherical structure into the solution. It is likely that these two lipoplexes represent structures with different lipid and DNA packing.

Moisture in front headlights of 07 Outback
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,221I should do that up here. There are more like 30 Outbacks on the lot, probably even more if I include Legacies. I saw a photo of a local '06 WRX a couple weeks ago and one of the headlight assemblies had observable moisture - in a photo taken 20 feet from the car!
I will be taking my Outback in again on 3/6, but I have little confidence that additional replacements will alleviate the issue. So far, I am not sure about the long-term implications of the moisture being there, but if the water vapor is getting in and not able to get out, then it is probably only a matter of time before I have algae, at the very least, along with it. -
snowbelter Posts: 286The Outback and Legacy are in their third year of production and I don't think the headlights have been redesigned for 07. I'm wondering if Subaru has changed suppliers for their headlight assemblies or if their supplier has changed manufacting/assembly procedures. As of today, my "new" headlight assemblies are still moisture-free.
snowbelter Posts: 286Heard that SOA has a "fix" for the moisture in the headlights problem. They are reportedly advising dealers that moisture in the headlights which comes and goes is "normal" and that SOA will no longer replace headlights with this problem.
I'm not impressed with SOA's resolution even though the basic warranty should cover any problems moisture may cause to the headlight system. -
xwesx Fairbanks, AlaskaPosts: 8,221Yeah, well, for these cars, it IS normal. But, for every other vehicle on the road, it is not. I have come to realize that inferior build quality is normal for my car, for sure. Short of the mechanical systems, this thing is falling apart.
It rattles worse than a heavy metal band again, and just this morning none of the dash/instrument lights came on when I started the car. They finally sprung to life about 3 miles down the road. :sick:

Pours an opaque brown/black with brilliant ruby highlights ave a frothy beige head that slowly dissipates.
Milk chocolate, lightly toasted malt, and nutty toffee form the initial aroma. Chocolate really dominates, with floral hops and a touch of diacetyl rounding out the finish.
Flavor reveals a huge backbone of sweet, nutty, toffee malt character, which finishes with a hint of slightly bitter roast. Underpinnings of dates, prunes, and figs add complexity. Chocolate is evident throughout, but does not dominate as much as in the aroma.
Body is fairly watery, which is exacerbated by carbonation that's a touch overdone.
Fairly complex malt character. The diacetyl complements the chocolate well. Probably cloyingly sweet to some, I enjoy the indulgence.

appearance: Pitch black with a tiny bit of light coming through when held up to a light. Wispy thin layer of head dissipates quickly. Zero lacing. Head doesn't build unless swirled vigourously.
Smell: black currant, chocolate, figs.
Taste: Dark fruits that finishes with a dry, slightly bitter chocolate flavor. As the beer warms the fruit and chocolate flavors meld together better and better but alcohol also becomes present in the taste as well.
Mouthfeel: medium bodied with great feel.
Overall, this is an extremely flavorful beer with a fantastic mouthfeel. Lots of dark fruits balanced out with a cocoa finish. A very soild beer

4.16/5 rDev +9.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.25
From the 12 fl. oz. bottle. Sampled on February 15, 2014.
The pour is a rich looking deep brown with a tan head that builds up and lingers on top. Attractive looking beer.
They say on the label that there is not coffee or chocolate in the beer. Well the malts must be mingling beautifully because those are the key aromas that I pick up along with a buttery soirt of character.
Light to medium body.
The taste begins sweet with coffee and chocolate along with a kind of black licorice note. There is a thin bitterness at first but it tends to grow as I drink the beer. Although it never takes over the beer.

Pours dark brown with a slight off white head that instantly recedes. Aroma leads with some figs and caramel, underneath theres some roastiness with a little earthiness. Flavor offers a nice dose of figs and raisins, caramel, a lttle chocolate and closes out with some roasted coffee grinds. Not very delicate, more heavy handed and direct in its delivery. Fuller bodied, creamy mouthfeel. Overall, solid beer here. Better than I went in expecting it to be.

Full Sail LTD 06 has a thick, cream-colored head, a dark, red-brown, clear (not hazy), bubbly appearance, with significant lacing left behind. The aroma is of deep and dark-roasted barley malt, sugar, and brown bread crust. Taste is of dark-roasted barley malt, sweetness, and a bit of bitterness at the end. I do not taste coffee or chocolate, and I do not detect any alcohol with this one. Mouthfeel is medium, and Full Sail LTD 06 finishes mostly wet, refreshing, easy drinking, smooth, and very delicious.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Poured from 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: extremely dark amber-brown hue with ruby highlights and no haze to the body. Head is a thin finger of frothy tan foam. Quite good.
Smell: rich chocolate and coffee notes above a bready, yeasty lager base. There's also the vegetal hop aroma that comes along with roasty beers like porters -- not necessarily a bad thing, but not always alluring. So, overall, a little rough, but with a number of good qualities.
Taste: bready and chocolatey right up front; coffee flavors, yeasty flavors and a pretty strong bitterness develop toward the end. The coffee ends up being a high point; this is a lot of character in this beer, if, as in the aroma, it's a little rough around the edges.
Mouthfeel: medium body with a good level of carbonation and a decent creaminess.
Overall: a good example of the style. It's kind of like a lager-yeasted porter -- something about which I can't complain.

Bill Long 10/10/04
Willamette Week Article 10/06/04
Ever since the Morgan and Weaver plea bargains at the end of September, a few articles have appeared on the death penalty in Oregon. My Op-Ed piece in the Oregonian appeared on 10/07/04 (a longer version is on this page, entitled Oregon Death Penalty.) The day before my Oregonian piece appeared, free-lance writer Janine Robben's article called "Oregon's Final Offer," appeared in the Willamette Week (10/06, p. 9). In this unabashedly "pro-DA" article (she was an attorney in the Clackamas County DAs office early in her career), Ms. Robben argues that the Oregon death penalty actually saves money because the threat of its use against defendants forces them to cop to lesser pleas, and Oregonians are thereby saved the costly expense of a trial. Norman Frink, Multnomah County Deputy DA then cites my book on the subject (A Tortured History: The Story of Capital Punishment in Oregon, [Eugene, OR: OCDLA Press, 2001]) and mentions that I do not even refer to this kind of savings in my book.
My Approach
Of course I don't, because this argument in defense of the death penalty is so new (and relatively outlandish) that it wasn't even being made by DAs in the years I wrote the book. The tone of the debate on the death penalty in Oregon until 2004 has included the following three "DA" arguments: (1) the death penalty is a deterrent; (2) the death penalty only affects the "worst of the worst;" and (3) the death penalty is retributive justice in action. Only in 2004 has this "new argument" arisen, principally because of the bankruptcy of the other three. The first is never mentioned any more by a DA because they realize they will be laughed out of the room if they make it (i.e., what deterrent value is a punishment that only attaches to 1/100 aggravated murderers, and may be imposed after 20 or 25 years after 10 rounds of appeals?). The second is ignored now because of the patent inappropriateness of the argument (that was the point of my 10/07 piece in the Oregonian). Finally, the third argument isn't made by many because it requires some philosophical subtlety and ability to argue theories of penology with skill. Thus, they are left with what I call the "Scarecrow" argument [see the letter I sent to the Willamette Week below]. The argument has no more than a surface plausibility and really founders on the capriciousness problem that I identify in the Oregonian piece.
So, in the wake of the WW article, I composed a 300-word letter to the Editor, sent it in on October 8, and it will probably appear either October 13 or 20. I reproduce it here for you. Please let me know, at firstname.lastname@example.com, your thoughts.
My Letter
To the Editor:
The latest argument by death penalty proponents, that its threat (not its imposition) actually saves the state money is the last arrow in a dwindling quiver of arguments that death penalty proponents now have at their disposal. The argument is both ludicrous on its face and patently untrue in its application.
As Deputy Multnomah County DA Norman Frink contends, it is the threat of the death penalty that actually brings some sense to a defendant, usually leading him to plead guilty. By so using the death penalty, however, Frink and others demonstrate that it is a tool of arbitrary and capricious activity, this time of District Attorneys. Rather than it being a tool to punish "the worst of the worst," which was the DA argument in 2000-2003, it is now being used to separate defendants, not by the nature of their crime but by their willingness to capitulate to threat. The US Supreme Court has unequivocally stated that a death peanlty that is subject to whimsicality and capriciousness violates the Eighth Amendment to the US Constitution.
More practically, however, Deputy Frink has argued for anew use of the death penalty law: either as an actual or a threatened punishment. We can wave it around to get a waiver of rights. If it is an actual punishment, let's use it non-capriciously (which I now do not think we can--see my Op Ed peice in the 10/07/04 Oregonian). If it is a threatened punishment, it becomes just that: a threat. As Shakespeare's Angelo says:
"We must not make a scarecrow of the law/ Setting it up to fear the birds of prey--/ And let it keep one shape till custom make it/ Their perch, and not their terror." Measure for Measure 2.2.1-4.
The Oregon Death Penalty is now Norm Frink's Scarecrow.

Fabulous design, but...
posted by E. Strebe
Quality Price Value2.7All in all, this is the most practical, versatile iPad case/stand I've ever used or even seen. Sadly, the rubber frame that holds the iPad became very stretched out and floppy, finally rendering it unusable. I'll buy another one, just because the design is so good, but I'm very annoyed that I have to buy yet another ridiculously expensive piece of plastic. Also, I live in Costa Rica, so it's quite likely I won't find another one in a store, and I'll have to order it, adding international shipping plus duty to the already high price. Having just re-read the last sentence, I think I'll just do without. Sorry guys, but if the quality had held up, you'd be getting a five star review from me. -

Loose screws
posted by Brad
Quality Price Value3.7Yes, a good description of both the owner and the Speck Handyshell case he bought and loves. The handle is indeed attached to the case by screws that snug into a mounted plate concealed by a rectangular snap-on cap. It took about two months for the handle to become wobbly, which could be fixed by popping off the cap and tightening the small screws. I get about a week of stability before screws require retightening. Would be interested to know if others have experienced this. It should be known here that two months after purchase I contacted Spe ck support who invited me to return the case for a new or repaired one. I neglected to do this, mainly because I didn't want to be without it... Anyway, great case, great idea, and if I cant find screws to replace my now stripped ones, I'll get another. -

Price Value Quality3.3This cover is the best. The handle is indispensable. However, please, Speck, reinforce the connection, the weak point, the two screws that hold the handle to the shell. I have to tighten the screws every few days. Some threads are worn out, on the shell side of the connection, and the handle gets very loose. Considering it has provided two years of torque-ing, hanging, standing, etc., I am hesitant to complain, but the company could fix that, going forward, and make the handy shell for the iPad Air too. Please! -

Tag: frac
Function: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction.
Tag: liga
Function: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. This feature covers the ligatures which the designer/manufacturer judges should be used in normal conditions. The glyph for ffl replaces the sequence of glyphs f f l.
Tag: ordn
Function: Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures. One exception to the follows-a-figure rule is the numero character (U+2116), which is actually a ligature substitution, but is best accessed through this feature. The user applies this feature to turn 2.o into 2.o (abbreviation for secundo).
Tag: sinf
Function: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors. The application can use this feature to automatically access the inferior figures (more legible than scaled figures).
Tag: sups
Function: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles). The application can use this feature to automatically access the superior figures (more legible than scaled figures) for footnotes, or the user can apply it to Mssr to get the classic form.
Tag: calt
Function: In specified situations, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior. Used in script typefaces which are designed to have some or all of their glyphs join. In Caflisch Script, o is replaced by o.alt2 when followed by an ascending letterform.
Tag: ornm
Function: This is a dual-function feature, which uses two input methods to give the user access to ornament glyphs (e.g. fleurons, dingbats and border elements) in the font. One method replaces the bullet character with a selection from the full set of available ornaments; the other replaces specific "lower ASCII" characters with ornaments assigned to them. The first approach supports the general or browsing user; the second supports the power user. The user inputs qwwwwwwwwwe to form the top of a flourished box in Adobe Caslon, or inputs the bullet character, then chooses the thistle dingbat.

Why pictures matter
George Estreich is a poet and college instructor who became a stay-at-home Dad 15 years ago. The Shape of the Eye (above) is his elegant, thoughtful memoir about stories: the birth of his daughter Laura, who has Down syndrome; his own family history, which includes a mother who watched Tokyo's firebombing as a teenager and a father who dies of cancer; and the cultural narrative of Down syndrome that evolved from John Langdon Down's description of a new race of 'Mongolian idiots.' For BLOOM, George writes about how popular images reflect the two opposing cultural views of Down syndrome: those of 'person' and 'defect.'
Thanks George! Louise
Why pictures matter
By George Estreich
The image, and the website I found it on, is long gone from the Internet – taken down, perhaps, out of belated respect for patient privacy. But the teenager with Down syndrome, the bruised, disoriented adolescent photographed in a hospital exam room, used to have his own URL. A dewdrop, on the endless silk of the Web. As I began writing this essay, I went looking for the link again, and was glad to find it inactive.
I'd come across the picture while researching The Shape of the Eye, my memoir about raising a daughter with Down syndrome. Nearly four years into the project, I'd come to see that it wasn't enough to tell Laura's story; I wanted to set her story against the way the condition's story is told. So I'd been reading genetics textbooks, parent guidebooks, alternative medicine guides, children's books, and more, trying to discern patterns in that story. But on a rainy Oregon morning in January, I had one of the bright ideas that tended to delay the completion of my book: I realized that in all my research, I had focused almost exclusively on words. I typed Down syndrome into Google Images and hit enter.
What appeared on the screen, a fraction of a fraction of a Mississippi later, seemed the bright fragments of a universe, as if the images were hurtling outward from the moment of the syndrome's discovery. There were faces, karyotypes, charts, tables. Regional Down syndrome association logos, with their butterflies, doves, rainbows, hearts. A picture of John C. McGinley – the irascible doctor on the sitcom Scrubs, whose son, in real life, has Down syndrome. An 80s punk band called Down Syndrome. An ear, an eye, a double helix. Charts correlating maternal age and probability of trisomy. A younger sister with Down syndrome, an older sister without, hugging each other, grinning for the camera in party hats. A campus map, the clinic marked by a red X. A man and two women smiling, holding wineglasses at a benefit. A diagrammed heart defect. A line drawing of intestinal atresia. A smiling plastic surgeon. A double helix. A transgenic mouse. An elaborate painting by a man with Down syndrome, on an outsider art website. A molecular biologist looking up, smiling, from a lab bench, pipette in hand. I clicked and scrolled, past a doll with Down syndrome (incurved pinky, transverse palmar crease), a palate mapped with black dots (speech study), and then I saw the teenage boy.
He was caught in a flash photograph, the tubes and dials of a hospital room lit dimly behind him. It was hard to tell his gender at first, his face was so badly bruised. He had a black eye, bloody teeth, swollen lips. In the stark light he looked almost panicked. I clicked on his face and found a breezy, fragmented narrative of an emergency physician's day: I'd stumbled across the doctor's personal website. Attached to the boy's picture was this explanatory caption: "A sudden fall in a Down's syndrome patient. . .Note the relative absence of a nasal bone on X-ray." There were other patients too, each with their blurry digital photographs, but only the boy with Down syndrome had a face; and paradoxically, though he was the only one identifiable, he was also the most dehumanized.
It was a common experience while I was writing my book. I would be paddling along, enjoying the special caffeinated relaxation that only diligent procrastination can provide, then get blindsided by an image or a word. Often it seemed to me that the ordinary boundaries between "personal" and "academic," or between "literature" and "science," had been simply tossed aside, or were never there in the first place. My daughter's story opened a door on an endless storeroom of dry, uncatalogued facts. Sifting through them, I'd stumble across some cursed charm or amulet, something that conjured a deep apprehension about my daughter's place in the world.
I wondered what the doctor knew about Down syndrome. I remembered a genetics textbook I'd come across, one evening in the university library. In it, I'd seen another flash photograph of a teenage boy with Down syndrome. The boy was naked, standing against a white wall marked with inch measurements. A chromosomal mug shot. In textbooks nowadays, you're more likely to see appealing pictures of smiling children. But more "positive portrayals," welcome as they are, are not enough, in the same way that respectful language is a beginning, but not enough. Our newspapers abound in positive portrayals. What we need is a shared vision of dignity across the lifespan: a sense that people with Down syndrome are not only cute children, but adults too.
In her memoir The Liar's Club, Mary Karr notes that an argument with her father stands out in her memory precisely because it is atypical. As a memoirist and practicing human, this comment rings true for me. Good stories, by definition, tend to be unusual. This is true, as well, for the photo of the teenage boy. In many ways, the photo is an outlier, and the doctor who took it and displayed it is not, in my view, remotely typical: we like most of the medical professionals who've helped Laura, and have become friends with some of them too. In addition, there are issues raised by the photo – like the violation of the patient's privacy – about which there can be no serious debate.
So why bring it up? Because in another way, I think the photo is typical: it betrays a deeply conflicted view of people with Down syndrome, a view common in our culture. On the one hand, the boy was seen as a human worth treating. On the other hand, he was seen as unworthy of the privacy given the doctor's other patients: he was a specimen, something to display. In this way, the photo of the boy embodies the jarring alternation I found, scrolling through my search results. First a face, then a karyotype, then another face. . . taken together, the images illustrated the gulf between the two radically different views of Down syndrome: between people and defects, hope and tragedy, stories and diagnoses. For a long time I had been writing in hopes that I might bridge that gulf. I was coming around to simply accepting it as a feature of the world. The boy's photo was striking because it embodied both halves of the contradiction: he was person and specimen at once.
In a broader sense, my search results illuminated the problem faced by patients, their families, and medical professionals: we do not have a coherent cultural idea of what it means to have Down syndrome, and especially what it might mean to be an adult with Down syndrome. Moreover, that confusion is mostly unspoken. We have the images, the face, the unusual eyes, but we have no agreement on what they mean. Ultimately, this confusion raises a basic question: What conception underlies the care we give to people with Down syndrome? Why the sutures, the ice packs, the splints, in case of a fall? Why repair the heart defect, the intestinal atresia? What life can the patient hope for, post-repair?
I didn't always know why I was writing Laura's story, why I felt driven to do it. But one goal was to contribute, in a small way, to an emerging common sense of Down syndrome: one which transcends the ordinary opposition between "clinical," in the pejorative sense, and sentimental. It seemed and seems to me that people with Down syndrome are seen either as "good-natured," in a childlike way, or are held up as examples of bad nature. Too often they are seen either as angels or defects; too often, they are seen as perpetual children. I think that we would be better served seeing them as present and future citizens; that our medical interventions would be best if we keep that vision of adulthood and citizenship in mind; and that narrative – a narrative which is clear-eyed about medical realities, yet without surrendering hope – provides one means to make that vision real to the doctors of today and tomorrow.

Thanks, Louise and George, for a thoughtful meditation on the attitudes toward Down syndrome within our culture. I can't wait to read your book!
Amy Julia - September 9, 2011 at 10:31 AM
Louise, I know that I'm a little late in responding to this outstanding post, but would you please make sure George sees this.
Thank you.
Dear George,
I must confess that I know very little about Down syndrome (I am learning though), but it seems to me, "Your words could be applied to all those who live with a disability, especially after one reaches adulthood and discovers, 'Families, as well as individuals with disabilities, no longer have access to adequate medical care or communal resources which are critical to living a fulfuling life --a life with family and friends, gaining employment, or giving back to society in any way they can.'"
Moreover, if you ever get the chance to re-release your book, I would use this piece, "Why pictures matter", as a prelude to your memoir. Obviously, you would need to make some changes, but from one "practicing human" to another, "It shouldn't be too difficult --and even if it is, "Isn't it worth the struggle?"
For example, you could write:
I didn't always know why I was writing Laura's story, why I felt driven to do it.

Yours truly,

Amy--thanks for your kind words, & eagerly awaiting YOUR book! Matt, thanks so much. I'm finding that people can often relate their own experiences with disability, or with medical conditions, to my memoir. As for a new edition, I'm all for that: I hope to find a press to release the book in paper and e-book editions, and perhaps there'll be a chance for additional material.
And Louise, thanks again for inviting me to blog at BLOOM! - September 13, 2011 at 1:32 AM
We met at a conference in Iowa. I love your book.
Glad to read this thought-provoking essay.
I've been thinking, too, about the way in which we can strip a person with Down syndrome of their humanity with any number of stereotypes: "little angels," or "so warm and loving," or "so stubborn," or "the eternal child," or "EMH," etc etc.
I'm a doc, and for years it has been so hard to see past my daughter's diagnosis: I recognized her chromosmes as soon as I saw the karyotype. Those three little nubins of chromosome 21 were more familiar to me than my newborn daughter's eyes.
After twenty-two years I'm still struggling to see Sarah as "Sarah," rather than "Sarah-who-has-Down-syndrome."
Your book is beautifully written, and will help us all see ourselves and our loved ones more clearly.

1. Find the right representativeThe experience and knowledge of a dedicated real estate professional can be priceless. A good Realtor® forms a powerful team with his or her clients that makes it possible for them to have a smooth, successful, stress-free sale.
2. Determine your needs/wants for the sale and for your new homeSelling your primary residence can be tricky because you have to simultaneously be thinking about where you would like to buy. First weigh your priorities – selling price is certainly important, but having a quick and efficient sale can often be worth accepting a slightly lower offer. Talk to your agent and make sure you're comfortable with where your priorities are.
At the same time, you should be compiling a needs/wants list for the home you will buy. You will probably have to act fairly quickly when your house sells, so any amount of preparation you can do will serve you well.
3. Prepare your house for showingUnderprepared homes can be sales disasters. Your home will never get as much attention from potential buyers as when it is first listed, so clearing clutter, cleaning, making repairs, and putting your home's best foot forward is essential. Don't "open for business" until your home is ready to be seen as favorably as possible.
4. Find out what your local market looks likeBeing realistic about your market is the key to a smooth sale. There is no substitute for a professional real estate representative when it comes to local market knowledge.
5. List away!Lots of photos and online exposure are the key to getting a good response for your listing. Working with an agent who uses Point2 Agent software is a great step in the right direction. Now just "open" the house and sit back and wait for the flood of eager buyers!
I can give you an educated idea of what your home's value is based on experience, local knowledge, and comparable actual sales in your area! I am happy to be able to provide this service free of charge.

Asthma disproportionally affects minority children and children living below poverty level
Today, U.S. federal agencies unveiled the Coordinated Federal Action Plan to Reduce Racial and Ethnic Asthma Disparities. White House Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) Chair Nancy Sutley, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Kathleen Sebelius and Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Shaun Donovan discussed the new plan during an event at Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus (THEARC), which houses The Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington along with other community groups.
Nearly 26 million Americans are affected by this chronic respiratory disease, including 7 million children, especially minority children and children with family incomes below the poverty level. Asthma rates of African American children are currently at 16 percent, while 16.5 percent of Puerto Rican children suffer from the chronic respiratory disease, more than double the rate of Caucasian children in the United States. The annual economic cost of asthma, including direct medical costs from hospital stays and indirect costs such as lost school and work days, amounts to approximately $56 billion.
"Across America we see low-income and minority children and families at a disproportionately higher risk for asthma and respiratory illnesses. Air pollution and other challenges are having serious health effects, which compound economic challenges through medical bills and missed school and work days," said EPA Administrator Lisa P. Jackson. "As the mother of a child with asthma, I know what it means for our children to have clean and healthy air to breathe. This Action Plan enables federal agencies and our partners to work more collaboratively and comprehensively on tackling a major health threat, so that we can protect all Americans, no matter what community they call home."
"Low-income and minority communities often face an unacceptable burden of pollution in this country, diminishing their economic potential and threatening the health of millions of American families," said Nancy Sutley, Chair of the White House Council on Environmental Quality. "As we close National Asthma Awareness Month today, the President's Administration is standing behind his commitment to integrating environmental justice into the missions of federal agencies, promoting clean air and healthy communities, and ensuring this really is a country of equal opportunity for all."
"The report is a blueprint for how we can work together to reduce asthma disparities and help ensure children with asthma get the right care with the right support," said Secretary Sebelius. "One key factor that is so critical to controlling a child's asthma is access to health care. Uninsured people with asthma are less likely to take the preventive medicine they may need to keep their condition under control, making them more likely to suffer an attack. That's why we are focused on expanding access to care."
HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan said, "The numbers don't lie: Asthma disproportionately impacts low-income minority families which is why we must do everything we can to ensure all children have a healthy place to call home. Today's announcement will help the federal government support the development of innovative new approaches to improve and control asthma."
The action plan will coordinate efforts to improve asthma management and prevention:

Possible bone cancer. During drug testing, the medicine in FORTEO caused some rats to develop a bone cancer called osteosarcoma. In people, osteosarcoma is a serious but rare cancer. Osteosarcoma has rarely been reported in people who took FORTEO. It is not known if people who take FORTEO have a higher chance of getting osteosarcoma. Before you take FORTEO, you should tell your healthcare provider if you have Paget's disease of bone, are a child or young adult whose bones are still growing, or have had radiation therapy.
For more safety information, please see Medication Guide and Full Prescribing Information, including Boxed Warning regarding osteosarcoma.
