The Fz-Dsh Planar Cell Polarity Pathway Induces Oriented Cell Division via Mud/NuMA in Drosophila and Zebrafish

SummaryThe Frizzled receptor and Dishevelled effector regulate mitotic spindle orientation in both vertebrates and invertebrates, but how Dishevelled orients the mitotic spindle is unknown. Using the Drosophila S2 cell "induced polarity" system, we find that Dishevelled cortical polarity is sufficient to orient the spindle and that Dishevelled's DEP domain mediates this function. This domain binds a C-terminal domain of Mud (the Drosophila NuMA ortholog), and Mud is required for Dishevelled-mediated spindle orientation. In Drosophila, Frizzled-Dishevelled planar cell polarity (PCP) orients the sensory organ precursor (pI) spindle along the anterior-posterior axis. We show that Dishevelled and Mud colocalize at the posterior cortex of pI, Mud localization at the posterior cortex requires Dsh, and Mud loss-of-function randomizes spindle orientation. During zebrafish gastrulation, the Wnt11-Frizzled-Dishevelled PCP pathway orients spindles along the animal-vegetal axis, and reducing NuMA levels disrupts spindle orientation. Overall, we describe a Frizzled-Dishevelled-NuMA pathway that orients division from Drosophila to vertebrates.

SummaryDrosophila neural stem cells, larval brain neuroblasts (NBs), align their mitotic spindles along the apical/basal axis during asymmetric cell division (ACD) to maintain the balance of self-renewal and differentiation. Here, we identified a protein complex composed of the tumor suppressor anastral spindle 2 (Ana2), a dynein light-chain protein Cut up (Ctp), and Mushroom body defect (Mud), which regulates mitotic spindle orientation. We isolated two ana2 alleles that displayed spindle misorientation and NB overgrowth phenotypes in larval brains. The centriolar protein Ana2 anchors Ctp to centrioles during ACD. The centriolar localization of Ctp is important for spindle orientation. Ana2 and Ctp localize Mud to the centrosomes and cell cortex and facilitate/maintain the association of Mud with Pins at the apical cortex. Our findings reveal that the centrosomal proteins Ana2 and Ctp regulate Mud function to orient the mitotic spindle during NB asymmetric division.

Identification of an Aurora-A/Pins/ Dlg Spindle Orientation Pathway using Induced Cell Polarity in S2 Cells

SummaryAsymmetric cell division is intensely studied because it can generate cellular diversity as well as maintain stem cell populations. Asymmetric cell division requires mitotic spindle alignment with intrinsic or extrinsic polarity cues, but mechanistic detail of this process is lacking. Here, we develop a method to construct cortical polarity in a normally unpolarized cell line and use this method to characterize Partner of Inscuteable (Pins; LGN/AGS3 in mammals) -dependent spindle orientation. We identify a previously unrecognized evolutionarily conserved Pins domain (PinsLINKER) that requires Aurora-A phosphorylation to recruit Discs large (Dlg; PSD-95/hDlg in mammals) and promote partial spindle orientation. The well-characterized PinsTPR domain has no function alone, but placing the PinsTPR in cis to the PinsLINKER gives dynein-dependent precise spindle orientation. This "induced cortical polarity" assay is suitable for rapid identification of the proteins, domains, and amino acids regulating spindle orientation or cell polarity.

- During asymmetric cell division, the mitotic spindle must be properly oriented to ensure the asymmetric segregation of cell fate determinants into only one of the two daughter cells. In Drosophila neuroblasts, spindle orientation requires heterotrimeric G proteins and the Gα binding partner Pins, but how the Pins-Gαi complex interacts with the mitotic spindle is unclear. Here, we show that Pins binds directly to the microtubule binding protein Mud, the Drosophila homolog of NuMA. Like NuMA, Mud can bind to microtubules and enhance microtubule polymerization. In the absence of Mud, mitotic spindles in Drosophila neuroblasts fail to align with the polarity axis. This can lead to symmetric segregation of the cell fate determinants Brat and Prospero, resulting in the misspecification of daughter cell fates and tumor-like overproliferation in the Drosophila nervous system. Our data suggest a model in which asymmetrically localized Pins-Gαi complexes regulate spindle orientation by directly binding to Mud.

We are a retired couple living on Vancouver Island and contemplating selling our home and buying a condo in downtown Victoria. We love the idea a city life can bring with amenities and the freedom to resume travel but know it will be an incredible adjustment parting with our garden and the privacy we enjoyed for well over 35 years. It would be so helpful if others out there, who have made the similar move, to share their experiences with us, good bad or ugly.
Moving to a condo have advantages especially if its near your workplace but as mentioned condo fee increases every year. And petroleum increases everyday. So its best to just go with the condo thing.
It is good to get a condo while you are still working and if it is close to your workplace. When you reach retirement age you may need more privacy and some open space that a condo cannot provide. The condo fees are also very expensive.apartments for rent murfreesboro tn
A good realtor prepares his/her property to appeal the most likely buyer. Most sellers not adjust the house that brings a higher price. A good realtor also gives him/her self-ample time to market the unit, so they can have a little more time with the sale.
I have made the transition from suburban house to downtown condo for the past 2 years, I didn't regret the choice. Below are some of my thoughts on pros and cons of living in a condo vs a house.Pros:-less maintenance-downtown living means more active lifestyle and social engagement-less reliance on the carCons:-condo fee usually increase every year-less space within your dwelling
The experience I hear from my Aunt is that she moved from her own house with a back yard and clothes line do dry clothes, etc. to the 8th floor of a condo within the same city. She hates being up that high. You don't get to see the squirrels or neighbourhood cats and dogs or even talk with your neighbours much. She had to buy a bar stool and table high enough up to see over the solid bottom rail of her balcony. She is short and getting shorter due to her age (82) so she needs a stool to get up onto her bar stool. She also lives near an ambulance center and all she hears is the sirens. Drives her crazy. Anyway, try and get low or bottom floor if you can.

Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Love, Love, Love this school! Unlike the parent who wrote that last review. I too am at the school several times a week. I've been at the school from the beginning and find it so amazing. I do have another school to compare it to and it blows the neighboring schools away in all aspects. You can tell that the teachers are so happy to be teaching at a school with so much parental involvement. I'm a room mom and I never have any problems getting parents to volunteer. Such a breath of fresh air from the school I came from. My children have way more knowledge and I can see the difference from my oldest child who came from the neighboring school, versus my other child who had been at Davis Magnet from the beginning. So blessed to be apart of this community! Last year there was a 350 child waiting list. Glad to see an unhappy parent leaving to make room for a family who will be very thankful for that spot next year.
We have had our child here for several years. Each year, I keep hoping it will get better. It has not. I have seen first hand the lack of education the students actually receive. The school lacks in supervision and disciple of the students. Students can basically do whatever they want and there are no consequences for their poor behavior. Teachers have no control over their classrooms and the new administration does nothing to fix the issues that have been plaguing the school for years. This school has been a complete disappointment for our family. There are several reviews on here about how wonderful the school is, I would have to disagree. I am always at the school. I have been in my child's classroom volunteering every year for hours and hours. I have done all the reading, math facts, and extra work after school with my child. I feel I have a very informed opinion of OUR SCHOOL. I am very involved in the school and the activities. I think the reason that so many parents might feel that this is a great school is because they have nothing better to compare it to. This is our last year at this school. We are moving to a better school district. I would avoid the school if you can.
Davis is a great school. the teachers work well with students and the principal is actively involved with the students. we're very happy to have our grandson attend !
For those of you above with your complaints. I have to say that most likely you did Not in fact do what was expected of you by Our School. You did not do your Math Facts nor Reading Every day for 30 minutes nor your child's Computer programs. You did not invest enough time as a parent to your one or multiple child's needs. As for attitude .. You get back what you give. We are entering our 4th year and are very pleased with the SOARING GRADES that we see from our own child. I stand there every day and see the lack of parenting while certain kids run over The Parents. It has Nothing to do with the school!! Be a better parent
We had three painful years at Davis Magnet School. Now we are in a wonderful educational place in a different state. Davis Magnet teachers we had lacked in lesson planning, parent-teacher communication, and classroom management. Our son's days were filled with doing worksheets, and unsupervised use of technology programs. I volunteered in the classroom, and not once saw actual "teaching", just independent work. The classrooms were chaotic. If there ever were any "projects" those were to be done at home (=parents' responsibility). The math and science focus was a joke. There were a few after school programs, but we did not see anything exceptional in the everyday teaching. However, the music program is great, PTA awesome, and the parents are very involved. Still, we have been so pleased to see the progress our son has made in the new school past year. While at Davis, his performance was always average, but once we enrolled him in the new school, and they tested his skills, he had to be placed in a grade below, because by 3rd grade, the kids in the new school were already a full year ahead where an average Davis Magnet student would have been. Now he is above all standards.
The school as a whole is great. We really like the science and music programs. Last year one of our children was in a very rowdy class and the teacher had no control. Our children have only been at this school but I think the teachers need more guidance on dealing with discipline problems. I've noticed that some teachers are firm and others let students rule the class.
My son is entering his last year at Davis Magnet. Since the beginning of his journey here as a 2nd grader at the onset of the Magnet curriculum, I can honestly say, "if these children Re the future leaders of our city, county and country...we're going to be in great hands. It's more than just a school. It's a co-op education community of, students, teachers, facility, and parents with a principle that is involved, listens and shares our goals. From music, science, technology, engineering/robotics, these kids could not get a better start in their education. The sky is not the limits here, these kids are looking to the galaxy and beyond.
My grandson goes to Davis and loves his teachers and the attention he receives on an individual basis and has excelled in his classes the 4 yrs. of attending! We love Davis!
I feel very blessed to be a part of the Davis family. I have two children there and we are going on our third year. Our experience has been nothing but positive. Having never attended any other schools it's difficult to say how it compares, but I can say my children have made wonderful friends, the teachers are fantastic, we love all the programs they offer and especially love the degree of family involvement. The PTA is incredible as well! Because of morning flag deck occurring every day the families have an opportunity to connect with one another, which facilitates stronger relationships within the school. The new principle is awesome and has a positive energy that radiates throughout the school. She seems to be perpetuating Dr. Rafferty's vision successfully. If I had any complaint at all it would be my desire to see stronger consequences and intervention for bullying.
We were lucky to have our kid go to Davis Magnet School. The teachers are excellent and so does the parents.
My son has been at Davis since it opened. He started in 2 nd grade and is now in 5th. We love this school. Every teacher so far has been exceptional . Parents are here because we Want to be here not because its our neighborhood school. Teachers were hand picked by the best principal in the state and they too want to be part of something special. Davis offers wonderful extra programs in science math and technology areas. The school is committed to having 100 % of students achieving competency in the core curriculum not the 80% that the state asks for. I am confused by the negative reviews and what those parents said or experienced because I haven't seen or heard anything of the sort and I'm on campus and involved at Davis.
We were originally very excited about this school. However, the quality of the teaching staff has gone downhill. Although this school may have adopted the philosophy of meaningful homework to no homework, the reality is otherwise. We agree that mindless and piles of homework serve no purpose and do embrace the idea that homework should promote "higher-level thinking", parent involvement, responsibility, retention and good study habits. Based on the assignments we have witnessed year after year, it has been nothing more than the tearing of pages from various workbooks that have absolutely no value. Our Child is finished with the "assigned" homework in a matter of minutes. The only challenging work our child sees is what we as parents are coming up with. Spelling homework has been a joke...copying words down over and over doesn't work. How about the teachers invest more time to construct better lesson plans, and incorporate some strategies students can use at home. To the parent bragging about assigned reading, pretty much a state standard, nothing special there, just like the rest of the davis curriculum.
This is one of the worst schools I have seen in Orange County. The only reason I gave this school one star is because I didn't have a selection for zero stars. Why do I dislike this school? Well we can start with the holier than though attitude I have received from the teachers, and the unwillingness of the prior principal Rafferty, who quit in a rather sudden fashion, to work with parents. The teachers at this school, with the exception of Mr. S, seem to have their "favorite pet" parents. The rest of us are ignored. The assignments given are pathetic, almost none existent. They are no brainer assignments. This will seriously handicap the kids when they get to high school, and college. This anti homework campaign is absolutely absurd. How are kids supposed to learn other points of view when they aren't assigned anything? When they actually get homework it is a mere fill in the blank.
Our daughter has been at Davis since kindergarten. She is now in third grade. She has had a wonderful experience! The teachers are top rate! I've done lots of in class volunteering and the teachers I've seen have all been amazing. Contrary to what the above reviewer wrote I've found that the teachers and staff are incredibly friendly. We were disappointed that Dr. Rafferty left! However, the school is on the right track and most people I've spoken to are confident that the right replacement will be found.. Some of the highlights of the school are the librarian. She's always friendly and approachable. The kids adore her! The science teacher, Ms Brusic is phenomenal. She's great with kids and she's really knowledgeable. The music teacher, Mr. S is energetic and beloved at the school. There are lots of family activities at the school (Sock Hop, Camp Out, etc) that people really look forward to. The final shining star is the teaching staff. They are a sharp group with high expectations. I couldn't be more impressed with the teaching staff!
I was so excited to have my child starting at Davis this year. Until we actually got there and saw first hand what a horrible school it is. Please beware!! Do NOT send your child here! You will be disappointed. The school has major issues. Some of the teachers are good but quite a few are just down right horrible, rude, unprofessional, and flat out mean to the kids. There are problems at almost every grade level and there is a complete lack of leadership to fix them. The principal just left with only 1.5 weeks notice. That should speak volumes!! Hopefully, the next principal will be able to turn things around. Either way, we will not be there. We are in the process of moving our child! It's really that bad. I read a lot of reviews about a lot of different schools before we decided on Davis. I did a lot of research. I was completely lied to about what this school was all about and what it had to offer!! I had heard good and bad things about Davis before we started and I decided that the warnings were just not that big of a deal. Everyone was saying how awesome this school was, I chose to overlook the warnings. Don't make the same mistake I did!
I feel so blessed to have my children attend Davis Magnet School. We couldn't ask for a better principal. Dr. Rafferty goes over and above. He is hands on and inspirational. The teachers are excellent. Combine that with tremendous parent involvement and you have the formula for success.
We are also a first year Kindergarten family and I am impressed. The academics are superior. Teachers collaborate within and without of their grade levels and demonstrate flexibilty that enhances learning. The principal is remarkable - he is always available for matters large and small and is a true leader. The community of families is strong, supportive and positive. This school has all the ingredients needed to continue to grow better and better year over year!
My daughter is finishing Kindergarten and I am beyond pleased with her progress. The teachers go above and beyond what is expected of them and make learning fun, yet challenging. Dr. Rafferty is by far the best principle in the district. He is always on campus for flag salute, helps with the loading and unloading of kids during pick up and drop off and has high expectations of his staff, students and parents. Dr. Rafferty can always be found at the PTA meetings and was extremely dedicated in getting our relationship with NHL's Ducks to partner with the school. With top notch free after school programs for all grade levels to enrich their learning, what more could you ask for. I love this school and look forward to my other two children attending in the future. It can only get better.
This is my sons second year here and I couldn't be happier. The teachers are awesome and I'm amazed every year by how much he learns. He's in first grade now and is reading books for 3rd graders, but I never feel like he's being pushed too far. My 3 year old just started Pre-school here, and I'm just as happy with it. Can't wait for all the years to come!
We will be entering our 2nd year at Davis Magnet in less than 3 weeks and are very excited. My son was in 1st grade last year and had an amazing teacher- he learned so much and had fun doing so. We have a fantastic principal who is constantly striving to raise the educational bar. The entire support staff cares for our kids and do a wonderful job each and every day. The focus on science, math and technology is top notch and the extra activities offered are terrific. We feel extremely lucky to be at Davis Magnet School.

This ring was just given to me as an engagement ring. I absolutely love it. The black diamonds sparkle like crazy. The white diamonds sparkle as well. The ring is not too big nor to small, it's just right. I recommend it for anyone looking for something a little different than the regular.
she gets soooo many compliments on this ring! its something that really catches the eye.older women dont seem to care to much for it very much but girls under 35 love it and really give her props for the ring.
This is a beautiful dainty black diamond ring. I would recommend it to anyone. The diamonds were sparkly and great quality! God bless!
Very happy with ring added 2 Harley Davidson bands with it for my wedding set looks awsome on!!
She absolutely loves it and she couldn't be happier!
I fell in love with this ring while looking at the picture. I knew by the price that it wasn't going to be overly dramatic and flashy and I was okay with that. I was expecting it to look like the picture as far as the black stones looking curved and slightly elegant. I was very disappointed when my bf opened the box. Very small and dull looking. Super thin band and dull flat stones. Just very disappointed and will be sending it back tomorrow for a refund.
This ring is simply elegant. It's just the right size for a smaller frames person. I am not sure how it would look if I had bigger fingers though. I have a size 6.5, so that being said it looks very nice on my finger. The ring is smaller in size that I thought it would be, but like I said; perfect for a petit person. The black diamonds are fabulous and sparkle very nicely. The accent diamonds are very clear and sparkle as well. The gold and build quality is super fine. You can tell the craftsmanship that goes into making this ring. I own a lot of jewelry and this is now one of my favorites. Oh! And the price was amazing for such a quality piece of jewelry. Thanks Overstock!!
The band width is way smaller then portrayed in the picture. I have small fingers and the stones still looked small. I was in love with this ring when I saw it online, I could not wait for it to arrive, and once it came I was so disappointed. I returned it two days after it arrived.
My husband bought me this ring and I really love it! It looks just like the picture but of course slightly smaller than the picture because the picture is enlarged to show detail. The diamonds sparkle so much. I've gotten so many compliments on this ring. This is the first item we have purchased from Overstock and we are 100% satisfied!! With standard shipping I got my ring in just 3 days! My husband plans on buying me a band to go with this ring for Christmas. You can't get a ring any better for this great price.
My boyfriend bought this ring for an engagement ring. It said it would be here in 5 to 10 days, it arrived in 4 so that was a plus. He opened the box and the ring was beautiful. It was a big diamond. A lot bigger than either of us had expected it to be. It sparkled like crazy. The black diamonds are the prettiest diamond I have ever seen. I am very satisfied with this ring. I recommend this ring to any girl that wants something unique and beautiful. It is something that you will fall in love with the second you see it! Thank you overstock for the great service!!

R&L: Capital Research Center recently published a study of patterns of corporate philanthropy in the United States. Could you give us a brief summary of that study?
Johnson: Patterns of Corporate Philanthropy is an annual study of corporate public affairs giving. Using the Forbes 250 listing of America's largest corporations, it examines contributions to public policy groups–not traditional service charities, the arts, hospitals, etc.–because these groups increasingly determine the political, economic, and moral climate in which businesses and society must operate. In other words, these contributions are highly leveraged.
The study proves that America's largest corporations continue to fail the tests both of...
Editors note: In the inaugural issue of this journal there appeared an article entitled "Death Knell for Socialism and Liberation Theology" [January/February 1991]. Subsequent to the appearance of the papal encyclical Centesimus Annus, Acton President Father Robert Sirico predicted in an article in National Review : "… this encyclical constitutes the epitaph for liberation and collectivist movements.… The 'Christian-Marxist dialogue' is dead."
These obituaries were, of course, not well received in quarters sympathetic to a socialist-Christian synthesis. It is, therefore, satisfying to see these assertions confirmed from the mouths of the very people who for too many years have been advancing ideas deleterious to the very liberation and self-determination they seek.
...At a reunion of Johnson administration officials in Austin, Texas, a quarter century after the War on Poverty fired its cannonades, the mood of reminiscence was akin to Wordsworth's memory of enthusiasm following the French Revolution: "Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive." Sargent Shriver exulted that the Reagan years had not really damaged Great Society programs, most of which were "still in existence, all helping millions of Americans today." New York Times columnist Tom Wicker described the sumptuous affair and proposed that it was time to stop moaning, and, instead drink a toast to "vision and aspiration, confidence and compassion."
Vision, aspiration, and confidence were all present, but was there compassion? It depends on what we mean by the word. When Speaker of the House, Tip O...
With the commencement of our second year of publishing Religion & Liberty, we are adding a regular feature by the Reverend Dr. John K. Williams. Dr. Williams is a graduate of Melbourne and Oxford Universities. After receiving his Bachelor's degree, he taught philosophy at Melbourne for three years before studying for the ministry. He was ordained in the Presbyterian Church, and served as chaplain and senior teacher at St. Leonard's College, East Brighton, Australia, for eleven years. Dr. Williams currently works as a lecturer and writer, and spent several weeks at the Acton Institute as mentor for our "Toward a Free and Virtuous Society" conference, and adjunct scholar. This column will offer our readers an opportunity to evaluate current wisdoms in the light of a traditional philosophical approach.
...Estas son palabras de Alexis de Tocqueville en su clásica obra Democracia en América.
Nacido en París en 1805, Tocqueville era miembro de la pequeña nobleza. Fue enviado por su familia a los Estados Unidos, junto a su amigo Gustave de Beaumont, para evitar el alboroto resultante de la revolución de 1830. Si bien el declarado propósito de su visita era estudiar el sistema penal americano, Tocqueville hizo mucho más que eso durante su viaje de nueve meses (11 de Mayo de 1831- 20 de Febrero de 1832) que le llevaron desde Boston en el este, hasta Green...
Queste sono parole tratte dal classico di Alexis de Tocqueville La democrazia in America.
Nato a Parigi nel 1805, Tocqueville apparteneva alla piccola nobiltà. Fu mandato in America dalla sua famiglia insieme all'amico Gustave de Beaumont per sfuggire ai tumulti dei moti rivoluzionari del 1830. Mentre il suo esplicito proposito era quello di studiare il sistema penale americano, Tocqueville fece molto di più durante i nove mesi di viaggio (11 maggio 1831 – 20 febbraio 1832), che lo portarono da Boston (nell'Est) a Green Bay (nell'Ovest). Da Marie nel Nord a New Orleans nel Sud. Il resoconto del suo viaggio è diventato un classico del pensiero sociale e della filosofia politica. Nel criticare l'America del XIX secolo, Tocqueville ne ha evidenziato la forza e...
"I am inclined to believe that if faith be wanting in (a man) he must be subject; and if he believe, he must be free."
These are the words of Alexis de Tocqueville in his classic Democracy in America.
Born in Paris in 1805, Tocqueville was a member of the petite noblesse. He was sent to the United States by his family to avoid the turmoil resulting from the Revolution of 1830, with his friend Gustave de Beaumont. While the stated purpose of his visit was to study the American penal system, Tocqueville did much more during his nine-month journey (May 11,1831 February 20, 1832) that took him from Boston in the east to Green Bay in the west, Sault Ste. Marie...
Shelby Steele's book, The Content of Our Character, is the best statement of its kind dealing with the issues surrounding racial antagonism often felt between black and white Americans. Written by a black professor of English who recently described himself to Time magazine as a "classical liberal," this book is a striking analysis of the psychological factors involved in issues about race in the United States. Steele challenges many of the suppositions fashionable among the civil rights community on the basis of his own and others' experiences in this charged area.
One of the many issues Steele raises, rarely brought up in discussions of race relations, is the prevalent feeling of black inferiority among blacks themselves. "You cannot be raised in a culture that was for centuries...
R&L: You've written extensively on the development of the American economic system and in particular the growth of what you call the "transfer society." Would you briefly define what a "transfer society" is?
Hill: The idea of the transfer society is a society where property rights are up for grabs. Very few defined rules exist, or the rules are always subject to re-definition, particularly by constitutional interpretation. The book that I wrote with Terry Anderson, The Birth of a Transfer Society, is an analysis of these changes in the U. S. Constitution.
We've become a society in which the rules are in flux, thereby prodding people to spend a large amount of their time and resources trying to change the rules to their benefit. Our...
The stench as you stand on the edge of the city dump in Guatemala City is overpowering. Even more overwhelming is the realization that crashes into your heart and mind: 3,000 families actually live here. Children and parents fight the vultures and pigs and search through the garbage for small "treasures"–bits of nylon, scraps of plastic and discarded jewelry–to resell to open air marketeers. I'll never erase the gut-wrenching picture from my mind.
But other images are also deeply etched, like the sensory overload of the hustle and bustle of Sexto Avenida in zone one, the city's principal commercial center. Or the look of the customs officer who coolly asked what my friends and I could give him in order to receive permission to bring into the country our 26 boxes of school...
Estas palabras de Fréderic Bastiat constituyen una de las definiciones más condenatorias del Estado que jamás se hayan escrito.
Hijo de un mercader y nacido en Bayonne (Francia) en 1801, Bastiat ingresó en un orfanato antes de cumplir los diez años. Bastiat fue un agricultor que se convirtió en político. Por eso sus observaciones acerca del hombre y de la sociedad derivaron de su experiencia y de sus observaciones personales más que de las teorías de un academico.
Bastiat entró en la arena pública como resultado de su...
Frédéric Bastiat nasce a Mugron, nei pressi di Bayonne, il 25 giugno del 1801. Perduti, ancora bambino, il padre e la madre, viene affidato alle cure di alcuni parenti. Studia presso il collegio di Sorrèze. Esce dal collegio all'età di vent'anni. Lavora prima a Bayonne in un'azienda commerciale di un suo zio paterno. Successivamente si ritira in una sua proprietà di camapagna, coltiva la sua intelligenza e fa coltivare i suoi campi.
Nel 1844 Bastiat è in Inghilterra, dove viene folgorato dalla scoperta delle battaglie libero-scambiste condotte da Cobden e da...
"The state is the great fiction by which everybody tries to live at the expense of everybody else."
These words by Frédéric Bastiat constitute one of history's most damning definitions of government.
Born the son of a merchant in 1801 at Bayonne, France, Bastiat was orphaned before his tenth birthday. Bastiat was a farmer by trade who became a politician. Hence, his observations about man and society are derived from personal experience and observation, rather than the theories of a scholar.
Bastiat entered the public arena as a result of his support for Richard Cobden and the efforts of his English Anti-Corn Law League. His...
The Foundation for Economic Education has sold, since 1950, approximately half a million copies of its edition of Bastiat's The Law, in the Russell translation. This makes the book a "best seller," despite that the Bastiat name is familiar to a mere handful. Few textbook surveys of political philosophies or economic theories mention him; few academics recognize the name.
The situation was even worse fifty years ago. It was a chance encounter between Thomas Nixon Carver and Leonard Read around 1941 that began the resurrection of this brilliant but obscure French politician and journalist.
Carver had joined the Harvard faculty as Professor of Political Economy in 1902. He was a champion of the free market economy during the next several decades, an opponent of...
R&L: In 1986 you were co-chairman of the Lay Commission which issued a statement on religion and the economy and which was signed by a number of lay Catholics. What motivated you to do this? What were some of the reactions, both positive and negative?
Simon: The Lay Commission tried to take seriously the teaching of the Second Vatican Council, which is that the laity bring a special Christian Wisdom to worldly affairs. Its critics tried to portray the Lay Commission as some sort of dissident movement. That's nonsense. We simply wanted to express the principles that have guided our lives as Catholics and businessmen. The bishops were going off in another direction, and we felt that it was vital to bring our point of view to bear. We have been pleased to see that the...

Weekly Fishing Report -- Updated every Wednesday afternoonMarch 21 , 2007FISHINGBEECH FORK – Lake is approximately one foot above winter pool. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304-525-5092. Fishing is very slow overall with a few reports of walleye and saugeye from anglers willing to brave the elements. During warmer days/periods the bite has been better for all other species as expected. Also check the "Reservoirs†section below for SW WV for further information. Trout were stocked recently in the Beech Fork tailwaters. Be patient, fish slow, and try a variety of baits (wigglers, crawlers, minnows) and prepared baits (powerbait, salmon eggs) to catch early spring trout.BLUESTONE – Lake is at winter pool. Lake and tailwaters are cloudy. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304-466-0156. Spring is slowly approaching and fish species are preparing to spawn as the water warms in the next few weeks. Crappie will be showing up on brush piles, flooded timber or downed trees where they will spawn. They will hit small minnows or doll flies. Bass may be caught off rocky points and around downed trees using live baits and artificials such as spinnerbaits and plastic worms. Anglers should look for points that have some cover such as stumps, logs, or weed beds. Try slow rolling a spinnerbaits, bumping off the stumps. Some hybrid striped bass may be caught using large minnows. Anglers should try spots such as the mouth of Indian Creek or up the bluestone Arm as these fish, even though mostly infertile, still make mock spawning runs upstream. Smallmouth bass are being caught in the tailwaters. Successful anglers are using tube jigs in pumpkinseed or motoroil colors. Anglers should be careful wading and wear your personal devices.BURNSVILLE – The lake is at winter pool, clear and ice free. The tailwaters were stocked with trout on March 8. For more information call Corps of Engineers at 304-853-2398.EAST LYNN - Lake is at winter pool. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304-849-9861. Hybrids, walleye and saugeye all are more suited for "cooler†water temperature levels. Anglers should target these fish during the next few months to find success. Tips for anglers wishing to target bass include trying bait, fish habitat warmed by the sun, and try fishing after a number of water stable days. Also check the "Reservoirs†section below for SW WV for further information. Trout were stocked recently in the East Lynn tailwaters and Lick Creek Pond. Be patient, fish slow and try a variety of baits (wigglers, crawlers, minnows) and prepared baits (powerbait, salmon eggs) to catch early spring trout.R.D. BAILEY – The lake is approximately one foot below winter pool. The lake and tailwaters are clear. For more information call the Corps of Engineers recorded message at 304-664-9587. With waters warming up, fish are becoming more and more active as they feed in preparation for the upcoming spawning. Crappie are congregating near the habitats where they spawn such as around standing timber and brush piles and they will hit small minnows. For artificials, use doll flies in white and yellow. Spotted bass are hitting plastic jigs in crawfish colors. The spotted bass will be found along the rocky drops with points with downed trees another good spot to try. Hybrid striped bass will be making a mock spawning run up stream in April and May so anglers may want to concentrate their efforts in the upper lake. The trout stocked in the tailwaters are providing good fishing. Best baits are corn, salmon eggs and small jigs.STONECOAL LAKE – The lake is approximately three feet below summer pool, clear and ice free. Fishing is slow.STONEWALL JACKSON – The lake is at winter pool, clear and ice free. The tailwaters were stocked with trout on March 8, try powerbait and worms. Yellow perch and crappie are being caught on live bait. For more information contact Corps of Engineers at 304-269-7463.SUMMERSVILLE – The lake is at winter pool, milky and ice free. Trout were stocked in the tailwaters March 19. Trout also still remain downstream and if you are looking for a back country trout fishing experience hike down in and enjoy some great trout fishing. For more information call Corps of Engineers at 304-872-5809.SUTTON – The lake is at winter pool, clear and ice free. The tailwaters are clear with a 40 degree outflow temperature. The tailwaters were stocked with trout on March 8.. For daily information call Corps of Engineers at 304-765-2705. TYGART LAKE - The lake is 15 feet below the summer level. Walleye are spawning and will continue for 2 to 3 weeks. Spawning occurs after midnight in shallow water along the shoreline. Casting larger rapalas-type shallow-running minnows along the shoreline after dark can be successful at this time of year.The tailwater temperature is 39 degrees. Walleye have been moving through the dam into the tailwater during the recent high flows (above 4,000 cfs). Walleye fishing is best during higher flows (1,500 to 5,000 cubic feet per second) and trout fishing is best at low flows (less then 1,000 cubic feet per second). Call the Corps of Engineers telephone hotline at 304-265-5953 for daily lake and tailwater conditions.NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIAOHIO RIVER (New Cumberland, Pike Island, and Hannibal pools and tailwaters) – Warm water discharges at power plants will be productive all winter, particularly for hybrid striped bass. Walleye and sauger have started seasonal pre-spawning movements and will relate to the moving water at lock and dam tailwaters and at creek mouths. Spawning will occur in the upper-half of the pools. During higher flows, the fish will be active throughout the day. But during normal or low flows, walleye and sauger will start feeding about an hour before sunset and then throughout the night. Jigs with minnows are particularly good baits but 3-inch plastic grubs and deep-running crankbaits are also productive. Hybrid striped bass will also move in and out of the tailwaters and can be caught using large crankbaits, casting spoons or cut baits.MONONGAHELA RIVER – River conditions are normal after last week's high water. The water temperature is 45 degrees. Cold river temperatures will cause fish, particularly hybrid striped bass, to be attracted to the warm water discharges at the Rivesville and Morgantown power plants. A pier at the Morgantown plant makes fishing safe and convenient. Walleye and sauger are in their winter pattern and will move in and out of the tailwater areas and tributary creek mouths, especially Buffalo, Paw Paw, and Prickett creeks. Start fishing about an hour before sunset because sauger and walleye will begin feeding at dusk. Jigs with minnows are particularly good baits but 3-inch plastic grubs and deep-running crankbaits are also productive. The shoreline from the Morgantown lock to the mouth of Deckers Creek is always a good place to fish from the shore. During high water, fish will be concentrated along the Westover shoreline just below the lock wall.CHEAT LAKE – Anglers should now be concentrating on yellow perch and also looking for walleye. Minnows fished on a 1/8 ounce jig in 10-to25 feet of water will catch yellow perch. Boats can be launched at any water level at the winter ramp at the Cheat Lake Park. Shoreline fishing will be best at the Park along the riprap on the lake side.Try the tailwater fishing pier for walleye and sauger during the winter. Minnows are the best bait. Start fishing at dark when sauger and walleye begin feeding. The pier is located entirely in West Virginia about 25 minutes from Morgantown, but you have to drive from, and park in, Pennsylvania to get there. Take U.S. Rt. 119 from Morgantown to Point Marion, PA. Turn right after crossing the Cheat River and proceed 4 miles to Cheat Dam. The pier is lighted for night fishing and is handicapped accessible.EASTERN PANHANDLESouth Branch and Cacapon RiversFlows in local streams are high due to snow melt but have already begun to recede. Anglers are catching smallmouth near the head of pools on slow moving plastics when the flows are suitable. Smallmouth bass up to four pounds were caught on the South Branch last week. Trout stocking is in full swing and many streams are now receiving weekly stockings. Check the 2007 fishing regulations or our website http://www.wvdnr.gov/Fishing/Stocki...tock.shtm. This information is updated daily at 4:00 p.m., January through May. Trout anglers can use a variety of baits including small worms, mealworms, salmon eggs, cheese, or trout power bait. When lakes are not frozen small spinners, Joe type flies, and trout magnets also work well.This is a good time to fish Ohio River Tailwaters, and sauger fishing fair this winter, with hopes for improvements. Anglers fishing below the Belleville and Willow Island dams are catching sauger, walleye, and a few other species. Riggs using suspended minnows or lead headed jigs with twister tails (white or chartreuses), which are fished along the bottom, are the lure of choice. When the river is running high and muddy clever anglers are tipping their jig hooks with minnows. Best spots to fish these areas include eddies and back-current sections, and anywhere that river flows are unusual slow. Warm water discharges associated with industrial facilities hold fish in the winter along the Ohio River. Best bet for lures here include crank baits and rubber jigs. Expect to catch white bass, hybrid striped bass and a few other species at these hot spots.Fishing for largemouth bass can be good during warm sunny days in area lakes. Slowly fished rubber worms or jig-and-pig combos are good terminal tackle choices. Area lakes with good winter bass angling opportunities include Mountwood in Wood County, Conaway Run in Tyler County, Charles Fork in Roane County, North Bend Lake in Ritchie County, and Elk Fork and O'Brien lakes in Jackson County.Musky streams are expected to be fishable this weekend. Winter musky anglers use medium to large lures, and they concentrate their fishing efforts around brush piles or other areas of good cover. Middle Island Creek, the major streams in the Hughes River system, and the Little Kanawha River are good area musky waters.

Installation explores change on different scales
JULY 2012 - A new installation in the University of Alaska Museum of the North's Gallery of Alaska introduces a familiar gallery. Changing Alaska emphasizes the importance of collections and research to understanding change on vastly different scales, from seasonal cycles to those that occur over eons.
"Museums exist to collect, preserve, and research objects," says the museum's Head of Production Roger Topp . "If a photo is worth a thousand words, an object is worth a million."
For example, the exhibit displays a pair of ptarmigan to illustrate how they adapt to the changing seasons and an ancient tree from North Pole, Alaska to show change over millennia. At the center of the installation is a short globe-projected film that looks at research into global climate change.
"If researchers know change is happening at specific locations, they can focus their efforts now and then again in ten years to learn more about what we are seeing from orbit," Topp said. "Museums have always been good at letting us look back; they are also poised to let us look forward."
Change is constant. It happens to things as small as a fish hook and as large as continents. Wherever you stand, there is another Alaska nearby, down the road, over the near hills, and waiting in the months to come. In perhaps no other place does the change of the seasons rival the change of history.
Changing Alaska will open July 2012 in the Gallery of Alaska at the University of Alaska Museum of the North. Support for the exhibit was provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration under the "NASA's Eyes on the Arctic" grant.

In its two months of existence, Douglass Street has filled a niche that many didn't even recognize. The much-publicized Brooklyn renaissance created spaces for musicians to perform--Barb?s, Tea Lounge, Zebulon--but also recreated situations that have perennially plagued creative musicians. Performance spaces and clubs are booked in advance and you have to always think ahead. And they always expect something, remarked pianist, composer and collective member Frank Carlberg. I mean, I'm not blaming them, they're just trying to run a business...many times, some kind of a compromised business, but they want to make sure that things are viable enough for them, which puts them in a kind of defensive posture. That, coupled with the closure of creative havens like Tonic and CBGB's in the past few years, gave rise to the need for a musician-run space. Douglass Street gives you the opportunity to present something in an environment where you don't have to answer to anybody. You don't have to convince anyone, except for the audience, of course.
The modest, loft-like performance venue is democratic by sheer necessity. 14 musicians from diverse schools and backgrounds split the rent and have an equal say in what is presented. Taking the DIY spirit of the '70s Loft Scene and applying it to the brutal realities of New York real estate in 2008, the members of Douglass Street have embraced the task of sharing the space and working around varied schedules. Everyone who's a member is entitled to do one night a month, explained violist Tanya Kalmanovitch who, along with violinist Joel Lambdin, signed the lease for the space in February and has taken on the lion's share of administrative tasks. Some people mainly want to use it to rehearse and some to play.
On their assigned nights, collective members can either present their own music or book acts of their choosing and many of the members seem as eager to present new music as they are to play it: I'm completely interested in presenting other people whenever there seems to be a reason to, intoned Carlberg over coffee at a shop in the neighborhood. If someone's coming from out of town with limited resources or if something has to happen on a shorter schedule, then yeah, what the hell; the space is here. Fellow collective member, bassist Michael Bates agrees: I hope that this will give creative musicians an avenue and a place to play. I just want more people to know about it...to be an active part of the audience, but also of the community. The more people we can get here, the better it's going to be in the long run.
The performance space, formerly trumpeter Ralph Alessi's Center for Improvised Music, has undergone renovation since the lease was signed and falls somewhere in between a loft space and jazz club in appearance. Exposed wooden Y-beams break up the bare white walls and exposed bulbs hang from a web of black electrical cords splayed across the ceiling. Tables are scattered around the room, but no food is served and your best bet for getting a drink is to ask a performer while dropping a few bucks into the tip jar atop the makeshift bar. Things got boomy during a set last month, but soundproofing is in the works and the fact that Douglass Street has a decent, tuned grand piano makes up for any minor acoustic shortcomings.
The Collective made a strong debut in late May by showcasing members in a four-day launch festival and in addition to performances by collective members, also hosted a festival featuring artists from the free- minded label, Kordova Milk Bar Jazz. Playing host to creative music festivals has drawn vital press coverage for Douglass Street and brought fans to the somewhat isolated club. We'll see about the location, said Carlberg. We're just about a block from actually having a location that people could easily find. But I think we're getting to a point where maybe it will get a little bit easier. That whole area has changed quite a bit. I don't want it to change too much! And the place is small enough; we don't have to have huge crowds every night. Kalmanovitch and Carlberg are planning to book a series of mini-festivals in the coming months to further spread the word about Douglass Street and build on the positive press coverage they've received. One can only hope that it's a beginning of a trend toward more musician-run spaces for creative music. I do kind of like this idea of trying to take charge of this ourselves, remarked Carlberg between sips of coffee. It has a grassroots feel to it. Instead of complaining about things you try to change it, as much as you can.
