2.4. Describe the sound, word, sentence, and discourse differences across languages
* Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Irish, Italian, Latin, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish are all offered by the Department of Languages and Literatures.
Goal III: Students will demonstrate knowledge of sociolinguistics, and diachronic and synchronic study in linguistic theory, through oral presentation and written form
3.1. Summarize the characteristics of sounds, words, and sentence structures of individual languages: LNG 160 (SPV 246): Introduction to Linguistics; LNG (SPV) 245: Articulatory Phonetics; LNG (SPV) 323: Introduction to Phonology
3.2. Describe the ways in which languages change LNG (SPV) 312: Bilingualism
3.3. Describe the effects of social factors on language LNG 160 (SPV 246): Introduction to Linguistics
3.4. Explain the relationship among language, culture, and society and critically evaluate how language plays a central role in social and political issues such as gender and racial discrimination, immigration attitudes and laws, and educational policies LNG (SPV)
Assessment of Student Learning
All majors will compile a portfolio of prescribed work in prerequisite* courses. Student portfolios will contain at least one example of their completion of the program learning goals. These examples will consist of the following:
- Final papers/examinations from each of the prerequisite courses.
- Documented proof of proficiency in a foreign language through (a) transcript evaluation of coursework in a language other than English and (b) through evaluation of a research paper on the structure of a language other than English Documented completion of acquired knowledge of diachronic and synchronic study in linguistic theory.
The portfolio plan will require a rubric to assess the contents of the portfolio. This rubric will consist of a checklist with the student's completed required courses and passing grade. Note that students can scan work onto a disk to fulfill the portfolio requirement (to save a tree or two).
The interdisciplinary program in linguistics conducts ongoing and systematic assessment of academic education and performance of its students and graduates. Students have ongoing opportunity to assess their academic and clinical education program through course and instructor assessment. Results of the assessments are used to plan and implement program improvements to address the quality of education in the program.

Abstract: Benthic Phormidium mats can contain high concentrations of the neurotoxins anatoxin-a and homoanatoxin-a. However, little is known about the co-occurrence of anatoxin-producing and non-anatoxin-producing strains within mats. There is also no data on variation in anatoxin content among toxic genotypes isolated from the same mat. In this study, 30 Phormidium strains were isolated from 1 cm2 sections of Phormidium-dominated mats collected from three different sites. Strains were grown to stationary phase and their anatoxin-a, homoanatoxin-a, dihydroanatoxin-a and dihydrohomoanatoxin-a concentrations determined using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Each strain was characterized using morphological and molecular (16S rRNA gene sequences) techniques. Eighteen strains produced anatoxin-a, dihydroanatoxin-a or homoanatoxin-a. Strains isolated from each mat either all produced toxins, or were a mixture of anatoxin and non-anatoxin-producing genotypes. Based on morphology these genotypes could not be separated. The 16S rRNA gene sequence comparisons showed a difference of at least 17 nucleotides among anatoxin and non-anatoxin-producing strains and these formed two separate sub-clades during phylogenetic analysis. The total anatoxin concentration among toxic strains varied from 2.21 to 211.88 mg kg−1 (freeze dried weight), representing a 100 fold variation in toxin content. These data indicate that both the relative abundance of anatoxin and non-anatoxin-producing genotypes, and variations in anatoxin producing capability, can influence the overall toxin concentration of benthic Phormidium mat samples.

The first significant snowfall of the season for western Massachusetts is expected to begin Saturday evening. Forecasts call for about 8 inches of snow for many towns in the Pioneer Valley, including downtown Springfield, through Sunday morning. Higher amounts are possible in the hill towns.
Fortunately, the timing of the storm will not impact any major commutes. The heaviest snow is expected to begin around 9 p.m. Saturday and continue overnight, tapering off to lighter flurries around sunrise on Sunday morning.
The National Weather Service in Taunton, MA, posted winter storm warnings for western Massachusetts effective 1 p.m. Saturday to 1 p.m. Sunday. These warnings are issued when 6 or more inches of snow is likely within the next 36 hours.
The impacts of this storm will spread out across the entire Northeast with substantial snow for many states. Virtually all of New England is under a winter storm warning, with the exception of the immediate southern New England coast.
Winter storm warnings have also extended to parts of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania before the heaviest snow arrives in western Massachusetts.
This will likely be an all-snow event for western Massachusetts, unlike the last few rounds of wintry weather over the past week. The biggest chances of sleet or freezing rain mixing in with Saturday night's storm is expected to stay well south of the Springfield area.
A few brief bands of lake effect snow showers developed across parts of the Pioneer Valley today. These are not associated with Saturday night's storm.
Stay with us on our Facebook page CBS3 Springfield and twitter @CBS3Springfield for updates throughout the storm.

Kwartzlab is getting a laser cutter
By doug.moen
It's official, Kwartzlab is getting a laser cutter!
I'm pleased to announce that Kwartzlab has received a $6000 grant from
the Creative Enterprise Enabling Organization for the full cost of
buying a new laser cutter. The CEEO board liked our application: they
approved it unanimously, and said that this is the type of project
they want to fund.
The Record: Local arts get financial shot in the arm
We are getting an 80W laser cutter with a 24″ x 36″ work area, similar
to the one that Site3 has, except bigger. It is a very versatile tool
for arts, crafts and technical work. It can cut or engrave paper,
cardboard, foamcore, plywood, plastics, leather and textiles. It can
engrave coated metals (incl. anodized aluminum), marble and glass.
The laser is a key tool for our makerspace. It's a powerful tool that
few people have access to, and it will attract new members to our


text: Meditation practice, says SAKYONG MIPHAM, gives us time to slow down and really wake up to the naturally occurring love in our hearts. Meditation practice is a period of self-reflection that offers an opportunity for us to feel. To feel is to be present, which allows for depth and insight to occur. By learning to feel, we can contact the inherent openness of our beingknown as buddhanature or, in the Shambhala teachings, basic goodness. This universal nature is characterized by kindness and compassion. A successful meditation practice is one in which we intimately connect with this naturally occurring love in our hearts, and then embody it in our lives. The ancient meditators realized that people needed a period of seeming inactivity to make any substantial growth or change. Generally speaking, it is very hard to change when we are on the go. When we are engaged in daily life, we may have the thoughts, I wish I were kind, I wish I had not done it this way, but it is very hard to change our habits. We need time to reflect on who we are, and how our mind feels underneath all the thoughts and emotions. From the physiological perspective, we have sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. When we are on the gorunning, talking, workingthe mind is engaged in a sympathetic nervous system process associated with fight or flight. The parasympathetic system, like the heart pumping blood, is less visible, is associated with rest and digest. If we dont balance these processes by giving ourselves time out to deepen and rest, we become wired, edgy, and emotionally sensitive. Crossing our legs and sitting on a cushion is a good start, but meditation is not a process of osmosis; its one we need to engage with. It comes down to this simple point: if we do not respect what we are doing during the period of meditation, nobody will. Understanding what we are doing is called the view, and it is very important. It helps us build inspiration and feeling. If we dont feel inspired to be present for our life, we will not continue meditating, and if we do not know how being present feels, we will not be able to rest with that feeling and help it grow. So it is important to know why we are sitting here, looking as if were doing nothing. In the meditative tradition, we regard every feeling and perception as an opportunity to tune into the present moment. The reason we meditate is that most of the time we are too caught up in thoughts to feel where we are, and be there. To feel, we need to relax. By taking an upright sitting posture, we enable the body to relax and the mind to be awake. This is the first step in building a strong meditation practice.

Council prefers further negotiations over eminent domain
Fri, Feb 23rd, 2007
Posted in Government
Posted in Government
PRESTON - An overflow crowd packed the Preston City Council chambers on Tuesday, February 20, to argue against the imposition of "eminent domain" to acquire the final two properties for the Forestville Trail.
Mayor Pro-tem Heath Mensink laid down the ground rules making it clear to those present that one outburst would receive a warning, two would mean removal. The crowd, though highly vocal, expressed their heart felt opinions in an orderly fashion. Council member Jon Haugan was absent and Mayor Kurt Reicks entered the chambers after the "trail" arguments were on their way.
Mensink outlined the history the of the issue over the last four years. On February 3, 2003, Attorney David Joerg stated that twenty-four properties were needed and two were yet to be obtained. In October of 2005, Joerg suggested that "eminent domain" be authorized to obtain the last two properties. Members of both land owner families were present at that meeting. The council opted for further negotiations at that time. In March 2006 the council sent a resolution requesting funding support to the state legislature. On February 2, 2007, Joerg again updated the board and explained that the negotiations with the Snyder and Ristau families had stalled. He again requested that the council authorize the authority for "eminent domain."
Argument For
Mr. Joerg presented his position that after nine years, the acquisition of two properties still needed to be completed. He suggested that the inability to acquire all the properties has "crippled" the effort to obtain funding from the state legislature. He explained that he felt that there was no reasonable alternative to go around the two properties to complete the trail from Preston to Forestville State Park.
Joerg detailed the "eminent domain" process from the petition to the court to condemn the properties, to the process to determine property value, to the trial with a six citizen jury, to verdict or property value designation, and finally to the appeals court. He explained that all through the process, negotiations continue to reach for an agreement outside of court. He insisted that he has negotiated with these land owners "to the best of his ability."
Council member Robert Sauer asked Joerg about the land owners and whether they had input as to where the trail should be located. Joerg said that the land has been surveyed and that the trail could be shifted if there was agreement. Dale Wille, who mapped the proposed trail for the Joint Powers Board, explained that Vernon Ristau had suggested a more appropriate location for the trail. Wille agreed that the suggestion was an improvement and would provide the Ristau's better access to their fields. It was noted that the trail layout must meet the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which restricts the design to no more than a 5% grade.
Sauer asked about the other cities that are part of the Joint Powers Board for the trails. The cities included are Fountain, Wykoff, Spring Valley, Ostrander, Preston, and Chatfield. Dr. Sauer suggested that if Joerg went to the board for the authority, then he would need to go to each of the participating city councils. Joerg emphasized that these communities don't have the same economic interest in this trail and that the city of Preston will benefit the most.
Arguments Against
Vernon Ristau stated that his property has been in his family for sixty-four years.
Ristau said, "It is hard to accept that people have more to say about it than we do" and "it doesn't feel right at all." He insisted that the first two trail alignments through their land made no sense at all and that his suggestion would at least cause less damage.
Kay Ristau insisted that the city council of Preston shouldn't be able to tell us what to do when we are seven miles out of the city. She expressed a concern that the trail could intrude on hunting and fishing. Later she suggested that the council ask each individual land owner that did sign, if he or she was "bullied" into signing. Concerns were also raised about liability and vandalism and who was responsible. Another of the Ristau family accused Attorney Joerg of misleading people from the beginning.
John Snyder and his wife Bernadette, who own property next to the Ristaus, came prepared with a fairly long statement and numerous quotes from newspaper articles about various trails. John Snyder was impassioned in his statement saying that they felt insulted and that no consideration was offered to them from the start. They, as most everyone who spoke, agreed that the trails were a good idea if an agreeable place to put it could be found. He said that they shouldn't have to follow the river. They were put off by the methods used by Joerg to acquire the land, calling it an "abuse of power."
Snyder insisted, "A stranger should not have more right to our land than we do." He emphasized that there has to be a better answer than "eminent domain."
Snyder said that the way he and his wife were treated contributed to the impasse.
Council member David Harrison said that he understood what was being said, but then asked what can we do now.
Carimona Township Supervisor Arlynn Hovey listed several objections. He questioned why put a bike trail on prime farm land and asked how a village council could condemn land in the country. He concluded by saying that a bike trail is a 'want' and not a 'need.'
Melvin Meyer said that he lives west of the Forestville and suggested that even if it is the law, we should turn to a 'higher law' and not covet our neighbors property.
Former Preston Council member Steve Knoepke said that he was making a statement as a tax payer. He insisted that this was not a good application of "eminent domain." He warned that it could lead to a lawsuit and noted that Preston has not fared well with lawsuits. Knoepke again brought attention to the fact that these land owners did not have an opportunity to vote for members of the Preston City Council.
Sharon Prinsen encouraged the council and others to look for alternatives. Summing up the last hour of citizens making their points from the podium, she stated that it is obvious that this (the trail) is not wanted here.
Heath Mensink went back to the question in 2005 when it was decided to continue negotiating. Then, the council suggested that they would only authorize "eminent domain" as a last resort. He asked, "Are we at a last resort?" He asked if there was still any possibility of negotiation. It was suggested by property owners that the Carimona Town Board help with the negotiations because they are farmers and understand farm issues and are trusted. It was clear that neither the Snyder's nor the Ristau's trusted David Joerg at this point.
Dale Wille, who was raised on a farm, and Robert Sauer, who was the only council member to visit one of the properties, seemed to be acceptable to negotiating further with property owners. Other alternative routes were discussed and the property owners wanted these explored. Mayor Reicks suggested that an additional six months be used to negotiate further and look at alternatives before any decision on "eminent domain" is made.

3rd Rethinking Revolution discussion
IT workers and struggles in work over time - 3rd Rethinking Revolution discussion In this audio download from the third of the Rethinking Revolution sessions Aileen O'Carroll draws on the stories and diaries of those working in IT companys to talk about the secrets and contradictions of working in a global industry. The myth is that IT workers happily work a 60 hour week but like workplaces of a previous era, there is a struggle over the nature of work and the length of working time within our lives. The left tends to focus on the formal visible struggles conducted through trade unions. What can this other level of often individualised struggle teach us in the fight for a new world?

A concerned citizen called the Delta County Sheriff's Office last week to report that between 50 and 100 chickens had been abandoned about 10 miles up Stevens Gulch Road. While launching an investigation into who might have released the chickens, Delta County Sheriff Fred McKee said his office called local animal welfare organizations to see if they would accept the chickens, if they could be rounded up.
No organization was equipped to handle chickens.
On Sunday, a deputy went back to Stevens Gulch and found a few carcasses, but no live chickens and no evidence they had fallen prey to a wild animal.
"Hopefully the word spread and someone picked up the chickens," Sheriff McKee said.
The sheriff's office has a suspect and, as soon as McKee is satisfied they have enough evidence to prosecute, they will charge the individual with cruelty to animals.

Comments about Hillsdale Universal Youth Bookcase Storage Platform Bed and Wall Storage in Navy and Silver Finish: Bed looks great, however, it came with two of the drawer frames broken, two of the blue panels had damage one of the side panels of the wall storage was damaged (from factory) and the welds on the bottom had to be ground down before it would fit together. I had read other reviews about the drawers and they were all correct. The bed is very sturdy but the drawers are beyond cheap. It makes no sense they would build such a sturdy bed and put in such cheap drawers. oddly, they provide 6 bolts and nuts to attach the metal fronts to the wood frames, which probably weigh more than the drawers themselves. I had to repair (glue w clamps) then add screws to drawers before installing. Overall, the bed is great look, but damage and time are not really worth it. As far as service, i just got them 2 days ago and we will see how fast i get replacement pieces when i call. Displaying review 1

Mississippi State jumped into the top 20 at #19, and everyone in the top seven garnered at least one first-place vote in the Week Seven BlogPoll. #1 Alabama still lead the way with 64, but more than a quarter of the #1 votes were spread out over #2 Oregon (4), #3 South Carolina (7), #4 West Virginia (1), #5 Florida (9), #6 Kansas State (1), and #7 Notre Dame (1). Florida, of course, is a resume-voter favorite, as they have two wins over ranked teams (one in the top ten) and one over a team receiving votes.
After the top seven, which is identical in the final BlogPoll and the Rocky Top Talk ballot, things get a little more interesting. Ohio State pulls in at #8, and LSU, despite an acute lack of offense, drops only to #9, followed by Oregon State, Florida State, Southern California, Georgia, Oklahoma, and Texas. The top 20 is rounded out by the usual suspects in Clemson, Stanford, Louisville, Mississippi State, and Rutgers, and #21 Cincinnati, #22 Louisiana Tech, #24 Texas A&M, and #25 Iowa State all break in to join #23 Ohio in the back end of the poll.
There were five discrepancies of five places or more between the Rocky Top Talk ballot and the overall poll. We dropped LSU to #14--mostly out of respect for Chris and Kidbourbon's rules about teams who can't score--while they stayed at #9 overall. We have Southern Cal at #17, mostly because 8 through 17 were a mess and could've done in any order, but they came in #12 in the overall poll. But we do have Stanford #10, and they linger at #17 in the overall poll, five spots behind the team they beat head-to-head. And we have Texas A&M #16, eight spots ahead of their overall #24. If Florida is really good, Texas A&M probably is too.
Finally, we have Mississippi State at #25, and inertia has carried them to #19 overall. For anyone who read through the preliminary thread, you know the reason for this: their best wins are over Kentucky and Auburn. I don't care if they haven't lost--they haven't played anyone who could beat them. But if the criteria for being ranked is ability to beat Kentucky and Auburn, Arkansas will be joining them in next week's poll. Of course, the Western Division Bulldogs have a chance to prove themselves against a team with a pulse this weekend--Mississippi State are three-point favorites at home to Tennessee.
Rocky Top Talk ranked three teams--Michigan, Baylor, and Western Kentucky--who did not appear in the overall poll, while we failed to rank Cincinnati (who was one of the last teams we dropped) and Iowa State. Here is where I'll put a demand for explanation on why Iowa State is worthy of a ranking. They lost to Texas Tech--at home, by double digits--two weeks ago. They have the same number of losses as Texas Tech. Texas Tech's only other loss is to the #15 team. Now I'm not advocating for a ranking of Texas Tech, but how is it that the Cyclones pull in ahead of them? Head-to-head isn't the be all and end all, but I can't think of a single metric that puts Iowa State ahead right now.

SB Nation BlogPoll College Football Top 25 Rankings "
- Rocky Top Talk stayed away from extreme votes this week. At least five voters were higher on Texas A&M and Stanford, at least five were lower on LSU, Southern Cal, and Mississippi State. We might've been out of step with the poll at large in some places, but we didn't do anything crazy, like not rank Virginia Tech. And no, I'm not tired of bringing that up.
- This week's opponent, Mississippi State, while finishing #19, received votes as high as #8 from Hammer and Rails, and finished with eight top ten votes. Hammer and Rails has all 14 bowl-eligible undefeated teams in his top 14 (there are two others who are undefeated: Ohio State and UTSA), and all of Mississippi State's top ten votes came from blogs who refuse to put a one-loss team in the top ten.
- Tennessee, on the other hand, for the first time this season, received no votes. Only one way to fix that.
- Other interesting matchups this week include #3 South Carolina at #9 LSU, #17 Stanford at #7 Notre Dame, and #15 Texas vs #14 Oklahoma. In a fascinating play-in for the back end of the poll, #24 Texas A&M travels to Shreveport to take on #22 Louisiana Tech. Good thing none of you have anything else to be watching at 9 PM EDT this Saturday.

Chapter 5: Variations to Candidature
5.2 Study Away/Overseas Study/Fieldwork
Monash International will notify DIMIA of all international research candidates who go overseas on study away, stating the period of absence overseas and that the candidate will be fully enrolled. Dependants must accompany the candidate if the period of study away is for more than one semester (six months). Cancellation proceedings may be instigated against a student dependant who remains in Australia while the student is offshore for research/fieldwork for more than six months, on the basis that the circumstances for the grant of the visa are no longer applicable.
Research candidates travelling overseas are required to visit the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade to check the advice level of the designated country. If the designated country has an advice level of 4 (Consider your need to travel) or 5 (Do not travel), contact ARGS to inquire the procedure of applying the study away/travel grants.
5.2.1 PhD Candidates
Except in extraordinary circumstances, approval for study-away will not be given to research candidates who are on probation. Candidates intending to proceed to fieldwork overseas must first have their candidature confirmed. Candidates who are well advanced in their fieldwork can undergo confirmation of candidature after six months of full time/twelve months of part time enrolment. All Arts candidates who will be away on fieldwork in Australia for 3 weeks or more must have their candidature confirmed prior to the departure. In all cases where candidates will be pursuing research, written permission is to be obtained from the Research Graduate School Committee on the standard form for Study Away Status or, if they apply for Travel Grant, as part of the Travel Grant application form which is available from Monash Research Graduate School. The maximum allowable period is 12 (twelve) months. It is essential that effective supervision be arranged prior to the applicant's departure.
NB: Research Candidates on a scholarship who are on study away for more than two weeks without having obtained written permission from the Committee risk having their stipend payments suspended.
5.2.2 Masters Candidates
Masters candidates with or without a scholarship who are proposing to study away from campus for more than three weeks for interstate or overseas travel for any period of time for research purposes are required to seek approval from their School and the ARGS prior to the departure. The ARGS will keep a register of the Masters candidates going overseas and their whereabouts so that an attempt can be made to contact them in case of an emergency. Before a period of study away or fieldwork is granted, candidates are required to successfully complete their Review of Candidature. Research candidates need to be fully enrolled whilst studying away. Application forms for Study Away are located at ARGS website.

Clustering of Missense Mutations in the C-Terminal Region of Factor H in Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome The American Journal of Human Genetics, Volume 68, Issue 2, 1 February 2001, Pages 478-484 David Pérez-Caballero, Carolina González-Rubio, M.Esther Gallardo, Mariá Vera, Margarita López-Trascasa, Santiago Rodríguez de Córdoba and Pilar Sánchez-Corral Abstract Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a microvasculature disorder leading to microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. Most cases of HUS are associated with epidemics of diarrhea caused by verocytotoxin-producing bacteria, but atypical cases of HUS not associated with diarrhea (aHUS) also occur. Early studies describing the association of aHUS with deficiencies of factor H suggested a role for this complement regulator in aHUS. Molecular evidence of factor H involvement in aHUS was first provided by Warwicker et al., who demonstrated that aHUS segregated with the chromosome 1q region containing the factor H gene (HF1) and who identified a mutation in HF1 in a case of familial aHUS with normal levels of factor H. We have performed the mutational screening of the HF1 gene in a novel series of 13 Spanish patients with aHUS who present normal complement profiles and whose plasma levels of factor H are, with one exception, within the normal range. These studies have resulted in the identification of five novel HF1 mutations in four of the patients. Allele HF1Δexon2, a genomic deletion of exon 2, produces a null HF1 allele and results in plasma levels of factor H that are 50% of normal. T956M, W1183L, L1189R, and V1197A are missense mutations that alter amino acid residues in the C-terminal portion of factor H, within a region—SCR16–SCR20—that is involved in the binding to solid-phase C3b and to negatively charged cellular structures. This remarkable clustering of mutations in HF1 suggests that a specific dysfunction in the protection of cellular surfaces by factor H is a major pathogenic condition underlying aHUS.

The Crystal Structure of Cobra Venom Factor, a Cofactor for C3- and C5-Convertase CVFBb Structure, Volume 17, Issue 4, 15 April 2009, Pages 611-619 Vengadesan Krishnan, Karthe Ponnuraj, Yuanyuan Xu, Kevin Macon, John E. Volanakis and Sthanam V.L. Narayana Summary Cobra venom factor (CVF) is a functional analog of human complement component C3b, the active fragment of C3. Similar to C3b, in human and mammalian serum, CVF binds factor B, which is then cleaved by factor D, giving rise to the CVFBb complex that targets the same scissile bond in C3 as the authentic complement convertases C4bC2a and C3bBb. Unlike the latter, CVFBb is a stable complex and an efficient C5 convertase. We solved the crystal structure of CVF, isolated from Naja naja kouthia venom, at 2.6 Å resolution. The CVF crystal structure, an intermediate between C3b and C3c, lacks the TED domain and has the CUB domain in an identical position to that seen in C3b. The similarly positioned CUB and slightly displaced C345c domains of CVF could play a vital role in the formation of C3 convertases by providing important primary binding sites for factor B.

Crystal Structure of a Complement Control Protein that Regulates Both Pathways of Complement Activation and Binds Heparan Sulfate Proteoglycans Cell, Volume 104, Issue 2, 26 January 2001, Pages 301-311 Krishna H.M Murthy, Scott A Smith, Vannakambadi K Ganesh, Ken W Judge, Nick Mullin, Paul N Barlow, Craig M Ogata and Girish J Kotwal Summary Vaccinia virus complement control protein (VCP) inhibits both pathways of complement activation through binding the third and fourth components. A homolog of mammalian regulators of complement activation, its ability to bind heparin endows VCP with additional activities of significance to viral infectivity. The structure of VCP reveals a highly extended molecule with a putative heparin recognition site at its C-terminal end. A second cluster of positive charges provides a possibly overlapping binding site for both heparin and complement components. Experiments suggested by the structure indicate that VCP can bind heparin and control complement simultaneously. This, the structure of any intact regulator of complement activation, along with attendant functional insights, will stimulate the design of new therapeutic inhibitors of complement.

Genetic studies have demonstrated the involvement of the complement regulator factor H in nondiarrheal, nonverocytotoxin (i.e., atypical) cases of hemolytic uremic syndrome. Different factor H mutations have been identified in 10%–30% of patients with atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS), and most of these mutations alter single amino acids in the C-terminal region of factor H. Although these mutations are considered to be responsible for the disease, the precise role that factor H plays in the pathogenesis of aHUS is unknown. We report here the structural and functional characterization of three different factor H proteins purified from the plasma of patients with aHUS who carry the factor H mutations W1183L, V1197A, or R1210C. Structural anomalies in factor H were found only in R1210C carriers; these individuals show, in their plasma, a characteristic high-molecular-weight factor H protein that results from the covalent interaction between factor H and human serum albumin. Most important, all three aHUS-associated factor H proteins have a normal cofactor activity in the proteolysis of fluid-phase C3b by factor I but show very low binding to surface-bound C3b. This functional impairment was also demonstrated in recombinant mutant factor H proteins expressed in COS7 cells. These data support the hypothesis that patients with aHUS carry a specific dysfunction in the protection of cellular surfaces from complement activation, offering new possibilities to improve diagnosis and develop appropriate therapies.

Statewide Hatchery Trout & Kokanee Stocking Plan
2013 Statewide Hatchery Trout & Kokanee Stocking Plan for Washington's Lakes and Streams [PDF]
Note: The statewide trout stocking plan provides anglers with the earliest information on where and how many trout are planned to be stocked into lakes and streams around the state. While most of the lakes are stocked as planned, anglers can expect a few changes due to modifications in hatchery production, as well as the ability to stock excess brood fish.
The 2013 Statewide Trout Stocking Plan PDF contains trout stocking information on each of the state's six regions individually and for the entire state. The locations, dates, exact numbers and times presented are based on current information, so unavoidable changes may occur.
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife will be stocking 17,140, 634 trout and kokanee into 562 water bodies across the state in 2013. These will be comprised of "catchables", "jumbos", "triploids", "put, grow and take" and "fry/fingerling" plants.
Catchable Trout Plants For the 2013 trout fishing season, 2.39 million catchables will be stocked throughout the state. Anglers will be pleased to find that on average, the size of catchables on opening day this year will be larger than previous years. In previous years, catchables were on average eight inches in length, but this year, they will be closer to 11 inches. The catchable program will include 110,131 "jumbos", which are fish that WDFW hatcheries raise to be 1 - 11 pounds. Jumbos, combined with the 52,000 purchased triploid trout, averaging 1.5 pounds per fish, will provide opportunities for larger trout in selected lakes. To keep track of when catchable, jumbo and triploid trout are stocked in realtime, anglers can consult http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/plants/weekly/
Triploid Trout In 2013, the Department will stock 114 lakes and ponds throughout the state with 52,000 triploid trout that average 1½ pounds each. These trout are purchased by the Department from private growers.
Trout and Kokanee Fry, Fingerling and Put, Grow and Take Plants Over 14.7 million fry, fingerlings and put, grow and take fish were stocked throughout the state as 2-to-8-inch-long fish. Kokanee fry were stocked in 2011 for the 2013 fishery, while trout fry, fingerling and put, grow and take were stocked in spring and fall 2012 for this year's catch.
Fry, fingerlings and put, grow and take are stocked in the spring and fall, when they are able to feed and grow on natural food until they are large enough to be harvested. The survival rate for these differing sizes of fish varies depending on conditions of the lake. A number of eastern Washington lakes are managed in such a way that fry survival is very good and therefore are the primary source of trout available for harvest. Western Washington lowland lakes depend primarily on catchable-size trout plants because of relatively low fry survival. In Western Washington, where fry plants are successful, the ones that survive supplement the catchable trout plants.
Some Tips for Catching Trout To find when, where and how to catch trout in Washington visit our Fish Washington website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/fishing/washington

On this page is information on Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas, including pictures of the view from every hotel room, pictures and video from inside Animal Kingdom Villas rooms, a list of amenities, restaurant reviews and dining menus with prices, pool photos and reviews, reader comments, childcare options, and more. Last updated: February 24, 2014
Use our exclusive Room Finder to see a resort map and find a great room!
In the far southwest corner of the World and adjacent to Animal Kingdom theme park, Animal Kingdom Lodge opened in 2001.
Designed by Peter Dominick of Wilderness Lodge fame, Animal Kingdom Lodge fuses African tribal architecture with the exotic, rugged style of grand East African national-park lodges. Five-story, thatched-roof guest-room wings fan out from a vast central rotunda housing the lobby and featuring a huge mud fireplace. Public areas and about half of the rooms offer panoramic views of a private 43-acre wildlife preserve, punctuated with streams and elevated kopje (rock outcroppings) and populated with some 200 free-roaming animals and 130 birds. Most of the 972 guest rooms measure 344 square feet and boast hand-carved furnishings and richly colored soft goods. Almost all have full balconies.
In 2007, in the first of two phases, Disney converted 134 rooms of the original hotel into Disney Deluxe Villa (DDV) accommodations. Disney opened part of the second phase, called Kidani Village, in the spring of 2009, and the remaining portion in late 2009. To avoid the confusion of having to differentiate two separate DDV buildings with Animal Kingdom Villas in their names, Disney has christened the units in the original hotel, as well as the building itself, as Jambo House. Thus, if you're staying in a DDV unit at Animal Kingdom Lodge you're at Jambo House, and if you're staying in the new building you're at Kidani Village. The entire complex, classified by Disney as a Deluxe resort, is called Animal Kingdom Lodge & Villas.
Animal Kingdom Lodge Jambo House offers fine dining in a casual setting at Jiko: The Cooking Place. Twin wood-burning ovens are the focal point of the restaurant, which serves meals inspired by the myriad cuisines of Africa. Boma Flavors of Africa, the family restaurant, serves a buffet with food prepared in an exhibition kitchen featuring a wood-burning grill and rotisserie. Tables are under thatched roofs. The Mara, a quick-service restaurant with extended hours, and Victoria Falls, a delightful mezzanine lounge overlooking Boma Flavors of Africa, round out the hotel's food-and-beverage service. Other amenities include an elaborate swimming area and a village marketplace. Children ages 6-14 can explore African culture through games and crafts. Cost is $70 per child; reservations must be made using a credit card.
Consisting of a separate freestanding building shaped like a backwards 3, Kidani Village comprises 324 units, a dedicated savanna, a new pool, and Sanaa, a sit-down restaurant combining Indian and African cuisines. Other features include a fitness center, an arcade, a gift shop, and tennis, shuffleboard, and basketball courts. Kidani Village is connected to the original hotel by a half-mile walking trail; DDV guests at either resort can use the facilities at both buildings.
Both Jambo House and Kidani Village have studios and one-, two-, and three-bedroom villas. Most rooms at Kidani Village are larger, however, and the difference is anywhere from 50 square feet for a studio to more than 200 square feet for a two-bedroom unit. (The three-bedroom Grand Villas at Jambo House, 148 square feet larger than those in Kidani Village, are the exception.) Because of the difference in area, one-bedroom units in Kidani Village can accommodate up to five people and two-bedroom units can hold up to nine—one more each than corresponding units at Jambo House, through the inclusion of a sleeper chair in the living room.
Having stayed at Kidani Village shortly after its opening, we think it's a quiet, relaxed resort. The lobby and rooms have a smaller, more personal feel than Jambo House's. The building exterior isn't anything special, essentially a set of green rectangles with oversize Africanthemed decorations attached. Kidani's distance from Jambo House makes it feel even more remote than the latter. The bus stops are a fair distance from the main building, too, and it's easy to head in the wrong direction when you're coming back from the parks at night.
Animal Kingdom Lodge & Villas is connected to the rest of Disney World by bus, but because of the resort's remote location, you should seriously consider having a car if you stay there.
A family of four from Lincoln, England, gives Animal Kingdom Lodge a mixed, though mostly positive, review:
We had a fab holiday, but we wouldn't recommend people paying the extra money to have a savanna room. The animals are scarce, and you don't really spend much time in your room. The pool and the kids club were fantastic and the hotel stunning. We visited Boma Flavors of Africa, but my children found the food very different and spicy. The food court was fine, although we wished they'd change the menu as after two weeks you're fed up of the same choices.
A Portage, Indiana, family begs to differ with us:
We disagree with your assessment that the Giraffe Trail is the least desirable wing of Animal Kingdom Lodge. We stayed in a pool-view room and loved it. The view was beautiful, even without the animals (which you can view elsewhere). The proximity to the pool, lobby, and restaurants was great, and a bonus was the direct exits from the hallway to the outside, which were very close to where Disney transportation picks up. And we saved about $500 over what we would've spent on a savanna view.
A British mum had safety concerns:
The room was very small and not very child-safe (REALLY high beds), but the hotel itself was fantastic in all other aspects.
Finally, from a Chandler, Arizona, couple:
Specifically wanted to stay at Animal Kingdom Lodge. We weren't disappointed! Fantastic resort. We loved sitting on our balcony in the afternoon and watching the animals. Found the transportation to be easy and convenient from this location as well.

Good (and Not-So-Good) Rooms at Disney's Animal Kingdom Villas
A glance at the resort map tells you where the best rooms and villas are. Kudu Trail and Zebra Trail, two wings branching from the rear of Jambo House, form a semicircle around the central wildlife savanna. Along each wing are seven five-story buildings, with accommodations on floors two through five. Five buildings on each wing form the semicircle, while the remaining two buildings jut away from the center. The best rooms on floors three and four, facing into the circle are high enough to survey the entire savanna yet low enough to let you appreciate the ground-level detail of this amazing wildlife exhibit; plus, these rooms offer the easiest access to the lobby and restaurants. Second-floor rooms really can't take in the panorama, and fifth-floor rooms are a little too high for intimate views of the animals. Most of the fourth-floor rooms in Jambo House are reserved for concierge guests, and the fifth and sixth floors house the DDV units.
Most rooms in the outward-jutting buildings, as well as rooms facing away from the interior, also survey a savanna, but one not as compelling as that of the inner circle. On the Zebra Trail, the first two buildings plus the first jutting building provide savanna views on one side and look onto the swimming complex on the other.
Less attractive still are two smaller wings, Ostrich Trail and Giraffe Trail, branching from either side of the lodge near the main entrance. Some rooms in Ostrich Trail, on the left, overlook a small savanna. Rooms on the opposite side of the same buildings overlook the front entrance. Least desirable is Giraffe Trail, extending from the right side of the lobby. Rooms in this wing overlook either the pool (water view) or the resort entrance (standard view).
The best views in Kidani Village are the north-facing rooms near the bottom and middle of the backwards 3. Try rooms numbered 7X38-7X44, 7X46-7X52, 7X04-7X11, 7X68-7X7, and 7X60-7X67. These overlook the savanna next to the lodge's Kudu Trail rooms and beyond into undeveloped woods. West- and south-facing rooms in the bottom half of the Kidani building overlook the parking lot, while west-facing rooms in the top half have either pool or savanna views.

Hands-on with the new MacBook Pro
When Apple announced its new notebooks on Tuesday, it said the new machines would be in the company's retail stores the next day.
So I went to the Apple store at the Westfield Valley Fair mall in Santa Clara, Calif., after work on Wednesday. I got there a few minutes after 6 p.m. and discovered that an Apple technician was in the process of replacing an old MacBook Pro with the first one of the new models.
I positioned myself authoritatively about a foot from the tech's left elbow, so when he was done, I was the … Read more

Dear Editor:
The latest bill under consideration in the democratically controlled Colorado legislation will increase the mandate for renewable energy (wind or solar power for example) for rural co-ops. This is Senate Bill 252 and, if passed, will double the requirement of renewables.
A lot of people think this is a good idea that will provide good-paying jobs and low-cost electricity in the future. Common sense tells the opposite. I see no long-term, well-paying jobs. I see no expanding industry. What I do see is solar company after solar company going bankrupt. I think the ones not bankrupt are scaling back and actually reducing their workforces.
If this industry is providing low-cost electricity, why does it need to be subsidized by the tax payers (i.e. the federal government)? Also, in order to prop up this high-cost industry the federal government, through the EPA, is increasing regulation and the associated cost on the oil, gas, and the coal industries. Some may say any rate increases due to renewables will be minimal. What's minimal to an increasing rate already driven higher by new EPA regulations written to support the renewable industry? The purpose is to sugar coat the renewable energy agenda and gives the appearance of a cost effective way to generate electrical power with respect to traditional methods of power generation. Common sense shows this is a misguided and transparent agenda.
What will this increase in renewables really do for small town Colorado? Well, first it will probably double, or more, your electric bill. If you run a small business, what little profits you have may now go to paying your electrical bill. Or, if you are a rancher, it may cost you an extra calf or two each year. Let's not even discuss the impact on a fixed income. Either way, you will get to pay for the renewables twice, once to subsidize it through your tax dollars, and once to pay the added cost you will see in your monthly bills. On the other side do you still get that warm and fuzzy feeling that you are doing something good?
Please show some common sense. Call your representatives in Denver and tell them you oppose SB 252.
Randy Litwiller

A group that works with families dealing with substance abuse asked Jeffco commissioners on Oct. 15 not to cut its funding as the county considers the proposed 2014 budget.
Several people involved with the county's Family Integrated Treatment Court spoke on behalf of the organization's work during Jeffco's first public hearing on its 2014 budget. FIT Court is funded through the Jeffco Human Services Division budget.
One egg, over-hard. Very hard.
A 61-year-old man was seriously injured on the evening of Oct. 17 in a hit-and-run accident along a South Jeffco street.
The man was walking his dog about 5:45 p.m. on West Glasgow Place, northwest of West Ken Caryl Avenue and South Pierce Street, when he was hit by an unknown vehicle, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
A 61-year-old man was left seriously injured Thursday night after being the victim of a hit and run.
The man was walking his dog around 5:45 p.m. near 7052 West Glasgow Place, northwest of Ken Caryl Avenue and Pierce Street, when he was hit by an unknown vehicle, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
Former Inter-Canyon fire chief Dave MacBean is facing theft and embezzlement charges in connection with $643,000 in purchases made with district funds over a three-year period.
A news release from the Morrison-based fire district said MacBean was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury Oct. 15 after an investigation was triggered by an internal audit in January. MacBean was placed on leave in January and left the department in March.
A suspicious device found in the Ken Caryl area led to the closing of one road and a precautionary search of nearby Chatfield High School on Oct. 16.
The device was found by a homeowner in the 10600 block of Dakan Mountain Road, east of Chatfield Avenue. The Jeffco sheriff's bomb squad responded, along with deputies.
Christina Garza's paternal grandfather, who worked in a uranium mine, was diagnosed with liver cancer when she was 4. He died a year later. Garza knew then her calling was to be a doctor.
If you ask Warren Rose what his favorite day of the week is, he'll say it's Tuesday.
That's because he dedicates Tuesdays to volunteering at the Seniors' Resource Center in Evergreen — and making many new friends.
"I look forward to going in there on my volunteer days and seeing my friends," Rose said.
Now in its 35th year, SRC's mission is to coordinate services to enhance independence, dignity and quality of life for seniors.
Swinestone Cowboys of Littleton will join Flyboy BBQ of Bailey as the two teams representing Colorado in the 25th annual Jack Daniel's World Championship Invitational Barbecue in Lynchburg, Tenn., on Oct. 26.
"As far as invitational competitions go, the 'Jack' might be the best," said Steve Renfro of Flyboy BBQ.
It appears it will take a citizen-led effort to get on the ballot the question of whether the Jeffco Board of Commissioners should be expanded from three to five members.
Ray Goodhart, a member of the Jeffco5 citizens group that is working to expand the board, said the group would start to prepare for a signature drive next year to put the issue on the 2014 ballot.
