CHARLESTON, W.Va. —
A handful of West Virginia counties are becoming pricey battlegrounds as Republicans seek to take over the House of Delegates, while a few state Senate races have emerged as the most expensive overall for the recently redistricted Legislature, the latest campaign finance reports show.With Democrats holding a 15-seat edge in the 100-member House, the filings that cover May 21 through Sept. 23 show significant fundraising and spending in districts representing Jefferson, Kanawha, Raleigh and Monongalia counties.
Senate districts in the Eastern Panhandle and along the state's southern border, meanwhile, report the most campaign activity for that chamber.
Half the Senate's 34 seats are on this year's ballot, though Democrats appear poised to keep their majority. That party occupies all but six of the Senate's seats, and seven of the 17 seats up for election are held by Democrats who are uncontested in November.
All told, legislative candidates raised about $1.1 million and spent about as much during the four-month reporting period that followed the May primary. Their collective campaign balances topped $2.1 million heading toward the general election. Candidates will file one more round of reports later this month before the Nov. 6 vote.
The election is the first since the House and Senate districts were redrawn in response to the 2010 census. Among other changes, the House increased the number of districts from 58 to 67 while expanding the ranks of single-seat districts from 36 to 47. Reflecting population changes, the new map shifts additional seats into the Eastern Panhandle and Monongalia County at the expense of the southern coalfields and the Northern Panhandle.
The Senate maintained its roster of 17, two-seat districts but redrew them to reflect the population trends.
Changes include districts that divide 13 counties among two, and in some cases three districts, and the loss of Kanawha County's two overlapping districts with the creation of one shared with neighboring Putnam County.
Republican lawyer John McCuskey raised and spent the most of any House candidate during the reporting period, seeking one of four seats in Kanawha County's new 35th district.
He collected more than $36,500, including $5,000 at the Washington, D.C., offices of American Center for Law and Justice, a Christian legal group founded by evangelist Pat Robertson.
Eastern Panhandle lawyer Stephen Skinner attracted the next-largest amount among House candidates, $29,376, with fellow lawyers and labor union political action committees among his donors. Skinner still had $56,200 on hand Sept. 23 compared to the $14,900 reported by his Republican rival, Elliot Simon, in the single-seat 67th District representing Jefferson County.
Other single-seat races in that county also saw significant campaign finance activity. Democrat John Maxey outraised the GOP's Paul Espinosa, $16,200 to $4,000, in the 66th District. But each had campaign balances around $20,000 — Maxey had slightly more — after Espinosa loaned his campaign $10,000.
Fellow Republican Jill Upson loaned her campaign $20,000, the most of any House candidate, as she challenges Del. Tiffany Lawrence in the county's 65th District. Though the Democrat slightly outraised Upson, the self-financing gave her a 3-1 edge over Lawrence for cash on hand.
Del. Barbara Evans Fleischauer, a Democrat, raised $27,600 in a Monongalia County district that lawmakers expanded from four seats to the House's largest at five. In neighboring Preston County, Republican Randy Shaver collected nearly $24,400 toward his challenge of Del. Stan Shaver. The 53rd District Democrat raised less than $4,000. A mine section foreman for Mettiki Coal, Smith received heavy support from executives for mine parent company Alliance Resource Partners and other industry interests.
Other active races include the 30th District in Raleigh County, where GOP Del. Linda Sumner and former Democratic lawmaker Bill Wooton each spent more than $11,000.
Sen. Herb Snyder, D-Jefferson, raised $51,800 — the most of any legislative candidate — and spent $86,100 in that chamber's 16th District. His Republican challenger, Jim Ruland, loaned his campaign $25,000 in an effort to keep pace after receiving just $1,300 from donors.
But the biggest loan of the filing period came from Mercer County auto dealer Bill Cole, who devoted $70,000 in personal funds toward his challenge of Sen. Mark Willis in the redrawn 6th District. That allowed Cole to spend the most during the four months, $94,000, largely on TV ads. A Democrat, Wills outraised Cole $19,500 to $15,800, and also had a $24,300 balance to Cole's $10,500.
Contributors to legislative candidates during the reporting period included the PAC for the state's nursing home association, which distributed $17,000 among candidates from both parties. Members of the Elliot family, which has holdings in that industry, also gave thousands through mainly to Republicans.
The Democrats' Senate Leadership Council contributed $1,000 each to six candidates for that chamber, including Wills and Snyder.

Hindered Convection of Macromolecules in Hydrogels Biophysical Journal, Volume 88, Issue 1, 1 January 2005, Pages 277-286 Kimberly B. Kosto and William M. Deen Abstract Hindered convection of macromolecules in gels was studied by measuring the sieving coefficient (Θ) of narrow fractions of Ficoll (Stokes-Einstein radius, rs=2.7–5.9nm) in agarose and agarose-dextran membranes, along with the Darcy permeability (κ). To provide a wide range of κ, varying amounts of dextran (volume fractions≤0.011) were covalently attached to agarose gels with volume fractions of 0.040 or 0.080. As expected, Θ decreased with increasing rs or with increasing concentrations of either agarose or dextran. For each molecular size, Θ plotted as a function of κ fell on a single curve for all gel compositions studied. The dependence of Θ on κ and rs was predicted well by a hydrodynamic theory based on flow normal to the axes of equally spaced, parallel fibers. Values of the convective hindrance factor (Kc, the ratio of solute to fluid velocity), calculated from Θ and previous equilibrium partitioning data, were unexpectedly large; although Kc≤1.1 in the fiber theory, its apparent value ranged generally from 1.5 to 3. This seemingly anomalous result was explained on the basis of membrane heterogeneity. Convective hindrances in the synthetic gels were quite similar to those in glomerular basement membrane, when compared on the basis of similar solid volume fractions and values of κ. Overall, the results suggest that convective hindrances can be predicted fairly well from a knowledge of κ, even in synthetic or biological gels of complex composition.

Hindered transport of macromolecules in isolated glomeruli. II. Convection and pressure effects in basement membrane Biophysical Journal, Volume 72, Issue 1, 1 January 1997, Pages 214-222 A. Edwards, B.S. Daniels and W.M. Deen Abstract The filtration rates for water and a polydisperse mixture of Ficoll across films of isolated glomerular basement membrane (GBM) were measured to characterize convective transport across this part of the glomerular capillary wall. Glomeruli were isolated from rat kidneys and the cells were removed by detergent lysis, leaving a preparation containing almost pure GBM that could be consolidated into a layer at the base of a small ultrafiltration cell. A Ficoll mixture with Stokes-Einstein radii ranging from about 2.0 to 7.0 nm was labeled with fluorescein, providing a set of rigid, spherical test macromolecules with little molecular charge. Filtration experiments were performed at two physiologically relevant hydraulic pressure differences (delta P), 35 and 60 mmHg. The sieving coefficient (filtrate-to-retentate concentration ratio) for a given size of Ficoll tended to be larger at 35 than at 60 mmHg, the changes being greater for the smaller molecules. The Darcy permeability also varied inversely with pressure, averaging 1.48 +/- 0.10 nm2 at 35 mmHg and 0.82 +/- 0.07 nm2 at 60 mmHg. Both effects could be explained most simply by postulating that the intrinsic permeability properties of the GBM change in response to compression. The sieving data were consistent with linear declines in the hindrance factors for convection and diffusion with increasing pressure, and correlations were derived to relate those hindrance factors to molecular size and delta P. Comparisons with previous Ficoll sieving data for rats in vivo suggest that the GBM is less size-restrictive than the cell layers, but that its contribution to the overall size selectivity of the barrier is not negligible. Theoretical predictions of the Darcy permeability based on a model in which the GBM is a random fibrous network consisting of two populations of fibers were in excellent agreement with the present data and with ultrastructural observations in the literature.

Molecular transport through the basement membrane is important for a number of physiological functions, and dysregulation of basement membrane architecture can have serious pathological consequences. The structure-function relationships that govern molecular transport in basement membranes are not fully understood. The basement membrane from the lens capsule of the eye is a collagen IV-rich matrix that can easily be extracted and manipulated in vitro. As such, it provides a convenient model for studying the functional relationships that govern molecular transport in basement membranes. Here we investigate the effects of increased transmembrane pressure and solute electrical charge on the transport properties of the lens basement membrane (LBM) from the bovine eye. Pressure-permeability relationships in LBM transport were governed primarily by changes in diffusive and convective contributions to solute flux and not by pressure-dependent changes in intrinsic membrane properties. The solute electrical charge had a minimal but statistically significant effect on solute transport through the LBM that was opposite of the expected electrokinetic behavior. The observed transport characteristics of the LBM are discussed in the context of established membrane transport modeling and previous work on the effects of pressure and electrical charge in other basement membrane systems.

Cons Best Uses
Comments about Cyber Acoustics AC-960 Pro Grade Stereo Headset/Mic: I purchased this headset to use for required chat and class presentations for an online University class. I could have just purchased a headset with mike and used my computer speakers, but I'm really glad I chose to pay a little more and get the full headset. The headset is comfortable and the sound quality is awesome. I prefer to use it now for online gaming and watching news videos rather than my computer speakers. It helps to block out distracting noise from the household and I can continue to work late and not disturb everyone else. I really like the long cord. It has a quality look and feel and it's really nice to be able to swivel the mike up when I don't need it.

Costa Rica's President Arias Acts to Protect Leatherback National Park
Yesterday, Costa Ricas Federal Register (el Diario Oficial La Gaceta, #194) published a decree signed by President Oscar Arias which authorizes the Environmental Ministry (MINAE) to begin the administrative proceedings to expropriate the properties within Las Baulas National Marine Park in Guanacaste. This park includes the two most important nesting beaches for the leatherback turtle in the eastern Pacific, Playa Grande and Playa Langosta, and its protection is crucial to ensuring the survival of this Critically Endangered species. Las Baulas National Marine Park was created by Presidential Decree in 1991 before being signed into law in 1995, and includes a strip of land 125 meters inland of the high tide line that is required to be protected from development. Despite of investors claims, the Procuraduría General de la República (C444-2005) has affirmed since 2005 that the land in question is a part of the National Park and the government should proceed with expropriation. Up until now, the process of expropriation had been riled in controversy and had stagnated with only 0.22% of properties previously purchased by the Government. On September 14, the Costa Rican Sea Turtle Network published a full-page ad calling upon President Arias to resume the expropriations and seeking support from the general public for this cause. In the last 8 months, more than 7,500 Costa Ricans, 1,500 foreigners, and 200 scientific experts have petitioned President Arias to proceed with the expropriations. Although MINAE eventually approved the 32 expropriation decrees, President Arias returned them without signature, and without further explanation, on September 21, 2007. On September 26, a group of more than 100 people, led by a dancing individual dressed in a leatherback coastume, marched in protest from MINAE headquarters to the Casa Presidencial, urging the president to sign the decrees. Hours later, President Arias signed the 32 decrees ordering the expropriation of properties within Las Baulas National Marine Park. For now, the leatherback can nest peacefully given that Costa Rica will ensure the ecological integrity of this critically important nesting beach.

I picked myself up a K2 GSXR 1000 last week after some numpty's decided they like my bandit 600 so much they would keep it. Holy crap Im blown away by the looks, power, comfort, coolness etc of the GSXR. It was raining out the night I got it and I was a little nervous of the back sliding out in the wet, not at all, silly me. The bike was stuck to the road.

Thanks for your imput .Looking to buy a K2 with a full yoshi pipe , remapped computer , and after market tail peice . In Blue it looks superb and the price is about what I can afford . 46,000 kms though is a bit high , but I get the impression they are bullet proof .

Having ridden sports for in my collection for 30 years I was lucky enough to move to the Isle of Man where it is possible to use the performance of todays sports bikes. You notice on the TT course which bikes can cut it. I decided I was pushing my current ride too hard and a true sportster was needed, I tried all the top bikes in one day and for me the Suzuki GSXR 1000 was the tool. Forgiving plush ride yet totally unflapable and that engines punch is incredible. It will pull yards out of any… Read Full Review

Suzuki used to take technology from the 750 and then put it on the 1000. From 2003 they reversed that, the tech on the 2003 GSX-R 1000 is put on the 750 in 2004.
Easy to control on low speeds... but an absolute MONSTER when you decide to open up the throttle from any gear. When your in sixth gear it feels like you're in fourth, never have been higher then 5000 rpm (have it for two months) but it seems to be all I could use (legally) on the road.

Its my first second Suzuki and not a model I would have gone looking for, but as it came along at a reasonable price it was bought.
I've got to say its got plenty of poke in any gear - more than is usable in most circumstances really. The handling is very good - better even than my 98 Blade which I always thought was excellent anyway. And its light - not that it looks it - but it is.

Rutgers women cruise to win over Stony Brook
Monique Oliver scored a team-high 14 points as Rutgers cruised to a 72-44 women's basketball victory over Stony Brook on Friday night in Piscataway.
Betnijah Laney added 12 points and Erica Wheeler chipped in with 10 for the 8-3 Scarlet Knights, who have won five in a row.
But the game turned out to be a footnote to a stunning postgame announcement by coach C. Vivian Stringer. Stringer said sophomore point guard Briyona Canty, a McDonald's All-American out of Trenton Catholic who hadn't played in the past three games, will undergo season-ending surgery on her left knee.
Stringer said the knee injury is a bone-on-bone condition that existed prior to her coming to Rutgers. Canty will undergo micro-fracture surgery to correct the problem.
Stringer also revealed that Canty had open-heart surgery this past off-season for a congenital condition. The coach described that surgery as relatively minor.
According to a school spokesperson, the surgery was performed to prevent Canty from having an enlarged or weakened heart in the future. The heart condition was discovered during a cardiac pre-participation screening done by the school this off-season.
"She's fine," Stringer said.
No. 6 INDIANA 88, FLORIDA ATLANTIC 52 (at Bloomington, Ind.) — Cody Zeller had 24 points and six rebounds, leading four Indiana players in double figures. The Hoosiers (11-1) have won 29 straight home games against non-conference foes.
No. 22 NOTRE DAME 89, NIAGARA 67 (at South Bend, Ind.) — Jack Cooley had 24 points and 15 rebounds, both season highs, to lead the Fighting Irish (12-1). The 6-foot-9 senior jumped out to a quick start, tying his season-high game total of 20 points by halftime.

Ebony Matilda Blossom sounds better to me than Ebony Luna Blossom.(which also sounds pretty)
I'd like to make some first middle suggestions. Beforehand, I'd like to mention I agree 100% about Ebony not being a name option for African American girls, but for girls of all colors. I've always liked the name Ebony.
Ebony Natalia Blossom
Ebony Demaris Blossom *(dem-air-iss)

Ebony Matilda Blossom still sounds like one of the best though

Excellent non-chemical sugar substitute
Am thrilled to find this zero-calorie alternative to both sugar and chemical sweeteners. Tastes great in my tea & best of all, it's the only erythritol product I've seen that states it's produced from non-GMO and organic sources.

Hang tight!
Recipe by TONY7
"This can be a tart strawberry smoothie or yummy frozen popsicle. Kids and adults enjoy this on hot summer days!! For smoothies just pour into glasses and drink!"
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (12 ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
3 cups cold water
1 (16 ounce) package frozen sliced strawberries
I made one change and that was using lemon-lime soda instead of water. I made no other changes. I used dixie cups to make ice pops instead of popsicle molds. I just set the cups on a flat baking sheet, poured the ice pop liquid into the dixie cups 3/4's of the way up and let them firm up in the freezer before inserting the popsicle sticks. The kids and I love these. Super simple and really cheap to make.
These were yummy! We froze them in a popsicle maker set I got at the dollar store, and they tasted great. I thought of maybe stirring in some cool whip next time to make them "creamy" tasting but I don't know if they'd freeze hard. These were just the right sweet/tart taste. Thanks!

I ended up with alot of froth and the ingredients seperated in the popsicle molds. I only had 2 popsicle molds (8 popsicles total) and had tons of mix left over. I think the servings on this is quite a bit off. We ended up drinking the rest (which was also good) I personally thought they were a bit too tangy. I puckered my lips with the first bite. All the kids loved them so the recipe gets a 5 star!
this was so good, we had leftover mix so i filled up some ice cube trays with it and put them in a glass of reg lemonade. very yummy
this is deelish! i used raspberry lemonade and all the kids love it.
I think these are pretty good. They are a little more icy than I'd like--I guess I've gotten used to those whole fruit bars you can buy! But otherwise I like them. Bf thought they were too sour. I didn't, but I love sour. I had some mix leftover, so I put about 1/4 cup of sugar in the leftover and will freeze that to see if he likes that better. Thanks for the recipe!
My daughter loves these! This recipe is the perfect base for any combination of frozen juice concentrate and fruit.
DEEEELICIOUS! :) It's my go-to recipe for ice pops. Love them.

Monday marks the 45th anniversary of One Life to Live, as well as its debut on the OWN network, but while the actors may have cause for celebration, many of their on-screen counterparts do not.
On Monday's episode, Viki (Erika Slezak) and Clint (Jerry verDorn) are in the middle of another rough patch, with Viki still reeling from a recent financial near-disaster, as well as the knowledge that Clint filed a restraining order on behalf of their daughter Natalie (Melissa Archer) against her on-again, off-again love, John McBain (Michael Easton).
Are you ready to go back to Llanview?
The online reboot of One Life to Live premieres Monday, more than 15 months after the soap's broadcast finale aired on ABC. So, what should fans expect from the new version? Will it still feel like the same show or will longtime viewers feel like something is off? And will new viewers be completely lost if they start watching now? We have answers to all your burning questions:
Table for three? Right this way! ABC has announced that ousted General Hospital stars Michael Easton, Roger Howarth and Kristen Alderson, who left the soap several weeks ago due that contract mess with Prospect Park, will all return on May 10. No plot deets are available yet, but it does have us wondering who will remain on this gloriously over-stuffed show, especially now that the 50th anniversary craziness has peaked, and the Nurses Ball is a camptastic memory. What's to become of Laura and Scotty and Bobbie and Lucy? Is looney-tunes Brenda on her way out? Is Frisco too pissed to come back? And will Blackie Parrish ever get out of the slammer and return to Port Chuck? TV Guide Magazine got the 411 from head writer Ron Carlivati.
Will General Hospital fans accept Michael Easton, Roger Howarth and Kristen Alderson in brand new roles? They might have to!
Multiple sources tell TV Guide Magazine that the trio of former One Life to Live stars — who've been embroiled in a tug-of-war between ABC and Prospect Park, the company that's producing the upcoming OLTL reboot — will soon return to GH after being forced to vacate the show for several weeks.

i know i just commented on someone elses post that i was all secure in raising my tdd and im all good and secure with upping it and blah blah blah. well, im feeling much better today but still needing almost double my old tdd (from 6 units to 11 units). i am honeymooning or lada-ing, dont really know which. i just had a really sore throat for a week. throat is still a bit sore but im going out tonite and everything.
how long do you usually have to continue with the upped dose? has a bad throat infection ever made anyones tdd stay up forever and just continue to rise?
No one knows...just keep a close eye on your BG especially before going to sleep ...mine usually tapers off slowly after I feel good and then I have a low BG and change my basal back to my standard dose/setting. I can't say there is a pattern to my insulin needs when I get sick one time I need extra and the next time I don't...YMMV
Good question but I'm not 100% sure as I've only been sick once since I started paying close attention to this stuff c. 2008. I would think pretty quickly but, if your body is having other things, e.g. honeymooning/ LADA changes, I have to agree with JohnG about keeping a close eye on your meter as the best plan. If your BG starts running low a lot, I'd back off pretty quickly but try to make sure it doesn't blow up.
I think we may be at a similar place regarding our LADA. I had a bug in January and for a while my TDD was also about double -- it required that I finally started taking basal. After a couple weeks, the TDD came down a bit, but it's still elevated from what it was before I was sick and I still require a tiny amount of basal. I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that the bug may have brought some more of my beta cells down for good.
Who knows. You can have a cold or flu, be sick as a dog for just a day or two and still spend weeks recovering. Your Diabetes May Vary (YDMV).
thanks for the info. guess its just wait and see... ;)
I would say the best part of a month, maybe even more.
I agree with the following advice, everyone of us is different, and our own insulin needs can vary with illness. I've had to set a temp basal rate for myself as I seem to be coming down with bronchitis. I just play it by ear, test a lot, and when I start running lower numbers start backing off. Good luck, hopefully you will be feeling much better soon, and your insulin needs settling down quickly.
Who knows? To be ill also means that the immune system is very active. In combination with the honeymoon it can also mean that more beta cells have eventually been killed. So it is possible that your TDD will stay at 11. But thinking positive I hope that it will revert to 6.
I rarely need to increase dose for illness with my pump. If I cannot eat, it remains flat, so I just bolus for low carb stuff like soup. Like AR, I get sick very infrequently. However, on my pump, it is a lot easier.
Just be careful--it could change quickly.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
The Creative Coalition, the entertainment industry's nonprofit advocacy group, hosted a day-long brunch in honor of the inaugural festivities. It was the perfect spot for the famous among us to celebrate the swearing in or warm up after having done so alfresco. A bundled-up Susan Sarandon, Tim Robbins, and Anne Hathaway popped in for a quick bite, while Alan Cumming beelined for the martini bar. Also spotted passing through were Sting, Trudie Styler, Adrian Grenier, Kerry Washington, and Spike Lee. Not surprisingly, a rowdy and joyful cheer went up when former President Bush boarded his helicopter ride out of town. Matthew Modine mused on what the outcome of the election means for Americans. "To quote Full Metal Jacket, 'It's a big s–t sandwich and we're all gonna have to take a bite,' " Modine said. "But the good news is, everybody's smiling and saying, 'OK, I'll eat s–t.' " Guerlain hosted a makeup room for touchups in between the swearing in, parade, and balls. Between holding court with a gaggle of starstruck teenage girls, Josh Lucas kept popping in to get lip gloss—for himself. (If you can't beat 'em, join 'em.) Most guests headed out in the late afternoon for some downtime before tonight's ball circuit. On his way out Tim Daly joked, "They're not really balls. They're more like bar mitzvahs—a bunch of dressed-up people standing around eating finger food."

Envy isn't really the issue
The letter in last Tuesday's paper titled "Obama played class envy card" is a slap in the face for anyone who has any intelligence.
It would have been nice if the writer could have given the president enough respect to address him as President Obama. Perhaps she is among the 1 percent of the wealthy. She referred to how hard "their" forefathers worked to become rich. Many of the wealthy became rich by the blood and sweat of many slaves that were brought here by force, worked and died. We who are their descendants are still working hard, but only very few have the privilege to become the 1 percent that become rich and famous. No one envies the rich for what they have; we only want them to pay their fair share.
The president is blamed for everything negative that happens in this country, but if he doesn't have the cooperation of Congress he is hitting a brick wall. The Republicans and some Democrats want to see him fail regardless of what it does to this country. Is it egotistic or racist? This president has had less cooperation than any president in our history.
Regardless to how the writer feels, I am very proud of our president. He stands proud under much pressure and adversities. He also has been disrespected more than any president, only because he is black. It is time all races need to come together as a democratic country.
I am praying for all who hate President Obama. I am sure God is on his side and on the side of the poor and downtrodden.
Olla L. Tate, Youngstown
Olla must have forgotten how the democrats and the press disrespected former President Bush. The current administration won't even let the public forget since evey economic problem is blamed on Bush.
"I am sure God is on his side..."
I wonder if God really is on the side of the most pro-abortion president in history? hmmm.....
"...he is ... disrespected... only because he is black."
Wow! Has Obama got you snowed! I can't stand the man and it has nothing to do with his race. (No one ever says that he is half-white.)
Also, with all due respect to the writer's race, I am so tired of this country having to "pay current blacks off" for slavery over 100 years ago. I know this isn't politically correct to say such a thing today, but that is how I feel.
Why can't people, black, white or whatever, just stand on their own merits... without the sickening victimization talk all the time?
Breathtaking how Ms Tate's knowledge of history has a starting date of 20 January 2009.
The "people" she discribes were sold as slaves by her "people" and she blames the rich!!
This president has less respect because he is causing this country to go broke because of his policy of giving to the "takers" and taking from the "makers".
Why is it ALWAYS about RACE? That is the DEMOCRATS "last resort" when they can NOT prove an argument that is FACT. I wrote the original article and am NOT part of the 1%. You obviously did NOT read the article with FACTS re: the top 10% of earners paying over 71% of all personal income taxes. The middle class (bottom 50%) earned 12 percent of personal income and pay only 3% of income tax revenues. How much should the wealthy pay - 100% ? ? ?
Thanks for the comment, Kathy! Your original letter was very good too!
Take care!
These racists can call me racists all day long.Whenever they realize that name calling won't cause people to cave,they'll have to start using some other way to intimidate since common sense and facts elude these people.
These liberals advise the conservatives to be more inclusive,you know more blacks,more women. So we have Alan West,Mia Love,Sarah Palin,Clarence Thomas,etc. and the libs destroy these people.
Cathy,thank you for your input and your courage. Most of us hide behind our user names. You use your name here and in the paper. Hope these people don't try and silence you.
The middle class isn't the bottom 50%. The bottom half isn't the middle...its the bottom.
So what... "bottom half...." Doesn't half include a portion of the middle? What if you said the bottom two-thirds or the bottom three fifths?
Cathy made her point.
@paul please ck. the latest cdc report about your claims
Yes but it also includes the bottom 25%. That certainly isn't the middle.
Here's a fact for you, cathy, paul, etc, etc, etc. And you should appreciate it because it has nothing to do with race. The president just destroyed the GOP-Tea Party in a nationwide election. And here's another fact that is not race based. The democratic party won an even larger majority in the Senate. So when you and your tea party buddies sit around and wonder how in the world could they lose these high-profile elections when the economy is sooo horrible and so many people are out of work, these racially neutral facts should serve to remind you why you lost, and you need to look no further than the mirror for the reasons behind your crushing defeat. The tea party is all done. Figure out a different game - cause you're no longer relevant under the current rules.

Branch-and-Terminate: a combinatorial optimization algorithm for protein design
Structure, Volume 7, Issue 9, 15 September 1999, Pages 1089-1098
D Benjamin Gordon and Stephen L Mayo
SummaryBackground: Several deterministic and stochastic combinatorial optimization algorithms have been applied to computational protein design and homology modeling. As structural targets increase in size, however, it has become necessary to find more powerful methods to address the increased combinatorial complexity.Results: We present a new deterministic combinatorial search algorithm called 'Branch-and-Terminate' (B&T), which is derived from the Branch-and-Bound search method. The B&T approach is based on the construction of an efficient but very restrictive bounding expression, which is used for the search of a combinatorial tree representing the protein system. The bounding expression is used both to determine the optimal organization of the tree and to perform a highly effective pruning procedure named 'termination'. For some calculations, the B&T method rivals the current deterministic standard, dead-end elimination (DEE), sometimes finding the solution up to 21 times faster. A more significant feature of the B&T algorithm is that it can provide an efficient way to complete the optimization of problems that have been partially reduced by a DEE algorithm.Conclusions: The B&T algorithm is an effective optimization algorithm when used alone. Moreover, it can increase the problem size limit of amino acid sidechain placement calculations, such as protein design, by completing DEE optimizations that reach a point at which the DEE criteria become inefficient. Together the two algorithms make it possible to find solutions to problems that are intractable by either algorithm alone.

Sidechain interactions in parallel β sheets: the energetics of cross-strand pairings
Structure, Volume 7, Issue 11, 15 November 1999, Pages 1333-1343
Jane S Merkel, Julian M Sturtevant and Lynne Regan
SummaryBackground: Both backbone hydrogen bonding and interactions between sidechains stabilize β sheets. Cross-strand interactions are the closest contacts between the sidechains of a β sheet. Here we investigate the energetics of cross-strand interactions using a variant of the B1 domain of immunoglobulin G (IgG) binding protein G (β1) as our model system.Results: Pairwise mutations of polar and nonpolar residues were made at a solvent-exposed site between the two central parallel β strands of β1. Both stabilizing and destabilizing interactions were measured. The greatest stabilizations were observed for charge–charge interactions. Our experimental study of sidechain interactions correlates with statistical preferences: residue pairs for which we measure stabilizing interaction energies occur together frequently, whereas destabilizing pairs are rarely observed together.Conclusions: Sidechain interactions modulate the stability of β sheets. We propose that cross-strand sidechain interactions specify correct strand register and ordering through the energetic benefit of optimally arranged pairings.

Solution structure and dynamics of a designed hydrophobic core variant of ubiquitin
Structure, Volume 7, Issue 8, 15 August 1999, Pages 967-976
Eric C Johnson, Greg A Lazar, John R Desjarlais and Tracy M Handel
SummaryBackground: The recent merger of computation and protein design has resulted in a burst of success in the generation of novel proteins with native-like properties. A critical component of this coupling between theory and experiment is a detailed analysis of the structures and stabilities of designed proteins to assess and improve the accuracy of design algorithms.Results: Here we report the solution structure of a hydrophobic core variant of ubiquitin, referred to as 1D7, which was designed with the core-repacking algorithm ROC. As a measure of conformational specificity, we also present amide exchange protection factors and backbone and sidechain dynamics. The results indicate that 1D7 is similar to wild-type (WT) ubiquitin in backbone structure and degree of conformational specificity. We also observe a good correlation between experimentally determined sidechain structures and those predicted by ROC. However, evaluation of the core sidechain conformations indicates that, in general, 1D7 has more sidechains in less statistically favorable conformations than WT.Conclusions: Our results provide an explanation for the lower stability of 1D7 compared to WT, and suggest modifications to design algorithms that may improve the accuracy with which structure and stability are predicted. The results also demonstrate that core packing can affect conformational flexibility in subtle ways that are likely to be important for the design of function and protein–ligand interactions.

The Backrub Motion: How Protein Backbone Shrugs When a Sidechain Dances
Ian W. Davis1, W. Bryan Arendall1, David C. Richardson1 and Jane S. Richardson1, ,
1 Department of Biochemistry, Duke University, Durham, North Carolina 27710
- Surprisingly, the frozen structures from ultra-high-resolution protein crystallography reveal a prevalent, but subtle, mode of local backbone motion coupled to much larger, two-state changes of sidechain conformation. This "backrub" motion provides an influential and common type of local plasticity in protein backbone. Concerted reorientation of two adjacent peptides swings the central sidechain perpendicular to the chain direction, changing accessible sidechain conformations while leaving flanking structure undisturbed. Alternate conformations in sub-1 Å crystal structures show backrub motions for two-thirds of the significant Cβ shifts and 3% of the total residues in these proteins (126/3882), accompanied by two-state changes in sidechain rotamer. The Backrub modeling tool is effective in crystallographic rebuilding. For homology modeling or protein redesign, backrubs can provide realistic, small perturbations to rigid backbones. For large sidechain changes in protein dynamics or for single mutations, backrubs allow backbone accommodation while maintaining H bonds and ideal geometry.

GAUVIN: Of paintballs, basketballs and latent street tragedies
Written by Paul Gauvin
September 04, 2007
I don't want to taint Edgar Allen Poe's dream, but the "tap, tap, tapping" at my chamber door is not his lost Lenore.
It is basketballs tap-tapping on the narrow street's raven-hued surface 30 feet away, from daylight to dark, tapping evermore.
What's this got to do with paintballs and Barnstable police Officer John O'Hare who received a year's probation last week for allegedly roughing up a few pre-teen boys who were shooting paintballs at passing cars?
Quite a bit. Both issues concern parenting skills, the limits of adult tolerance, the vagaries of youth, respect for others and their property and last but not least, public safety.
O'Hare was verbally whipped by parents of the alleged paintball shooters that, one would imagine, should have been taught not to fire paintballs at moving cars. The incident occurred just before 8 p.m. last New Year's Eve. O'Hare's personal car was hit and he reacted as would many -- with understandable outrage.
Would it have been preferable for Officer O'Hare to ignore the incident -- until a paintball skittered a driver who might then collide head-on into another passing car, resulting in one or two deaths? How bad would that have been for the kids and their parents?
Since O'Hare is ordered to undergo anger management training, should not the courts balance that by ordering the parents to takes a course in effective parenting and mandate coaching the kids about respect and safety?
A report of the incident in last week's Cape Cod Times indicates that one or more of the parents are considering civil charges against O'Hare. It did not mention whether O'Hare, or any other drivers of autos that were hit by the paintballs, is considering a civil suit for damages and reckless endangerment.
(Late last week one of the boys was adjudicated a delinquent on two counts of shooting paintballs and two counts of malicious destruction and his case continued without a finding. The court ordered restitution, if any, in the child's case).
Nowhere in the Times story do the parents admit to any culpability on the part of their children or themselves for having provoked O'Hare's response.
Children do not have a blanket exemption from accountability in a society by agreement, a responsibility ingrained at home if not in schools or other settings. Sometimes it takes a bit more than sermonizing to jam home the potentially grave consequences of foolish actions. It's probably a safe bet the kids won't do it again because of O'Hare's intercession.
Hyannis has experienced the effects of ill-behaved offspring in the early "gang rentals" that were a disgusting blend of arrogance and privilege that elsewhere evokes the term, "Ugly American."
The parents may believe O'Hare's punishment was insufficient, but not everyone agrees.

Dear Lord,
In these troubling times,
I am filled with unspeakable fears.
I reach my hand out to you now.
I ask you to walk beside me.
Please help me hold on strong,
During these storms.
And help me hold my hopes high,
Even in the darkest hour.
- Rev. Laurie Sue Brockway
