Research InterestMy laboratory investigates how oncogenes initiate and sustain tumorigenesis. I have developed model systems whereby I can conditionally activate oncogenes in normal human and mouse cells in tissue culture or in specific tissues of transgenic mice. In particular using the tetracycline regulatory system, I have generated a conditional model system for MYC-induced tumors. I have shown that cancers caused by the conditional over-expression of the MYC proto-oncogene regress with its inactivation.

Spider-Man 2 is a 2004 American superhero film directed by Sam Raimi and written by Alvin Sargent from a story by Alfred Gough, Miles Millar, and Michael Chabon. The sequel to the 2002 film Spider-Man, it is the second film in Raimi's Spider-Man film trilogy based on the fictional Marvel Comics character of the same name. Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, and James Franco reprise their respective roles as Peter Parker/Spider-Man, Mary Jane Watson, and Harry Osborn.
Set two years after the events of Spider-Man, the film focuses on Peter Parker struggling to manage both his personal life and his duties as Spider-Man, and Dr. Otto Octavius (Alfred Molina), who takes a turn for the diabolical following a failed experiment and his wife's death. Using his mechanical tentacles, Octavius is dubbed "Doctor Octopus" and threatens to endanger the lives of New York City's residents. Spider-Man must stop him from annihilating the city.
Spider-Man 2 was released in both conventional and IMAX theaters on June 30, 2004, receiving high acclaim from critics and continuing to be featured frequently on lists of the best superhero films of all time. It grossed over $783 million worldwide and won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It also received five awards at the Saturn Awards ceremony including Best Fantasy Film and Best Director for Raimi. The film's success led to Spider-Man 3, released in 2007.
Peter Parker struggles to balance his crime-fighting duties as Spider-Man with the demands of his normal life. He was estranged from both love interest Mary Jane Watson and his best friend Harry Osborn who intends to seek revenge on Spider-Man for his father Norman's death. In addition, he discovers that his Aunt May is facing foreclosure.
Harry, now head of Oscorp's research division, sponsors the brilliant nuclear scientist named Otto Octavius. Octavius who dreams of perfecting sustained fusion power, wears a harness of powerful robotic tentacle arms with artificial intelligence for an experiment.
Though the experiment seems to work at first, a power spike causes it to quickly destabilize. Despite this, Octavius stubbornly refuses to shut the experiment down, which leads to disastrous consequences: his wife is killed, the neural inhibitor chip which keeps the arms from influencing his mind is destroyed and the arms are fused to his spine. Spider-Man manages to arrive and shut the experiment down before it can do any further damage.
Unconscious, Octavius is sent to a hospital, and prepared to have the arms and harness surgically removed, but the arms, having developed sentience from the inhibitor chip's destruction, spring to life, and savagely attack the medical crew, killing most of them. Upon regaining consciousness and seeing the carnage the arms caused, Octavius escapes the hospital, and hides out at the harbor, pondering his fate. The arms convince him to retry his experiment. To fund it, Octavius – now called Doctor Octopus or "Doc Ock" by the Daily Bugle – robs a bank.
After Peter misses Mary Jane's debut play, she, in retaliation, becomes engaged to renowned astronaut John Jameson, the son of Bugle chief J. Jonah Jameson. Peter loses his powers due to his emotional breakdown. He abandons his alter ego altogether and returns to his normal life while trying to reconcile with Mary Jane.
A garbageman brings Spider-Man's costume to J. Jonah Jameson, who takes credit for Spider-Man's disappearance. Peter tells his aunt May that his uncle Ben's earlier death was his fault. May forgives him, but when his nine-year-old neighbor learns of Spider-Man's disappearance and the rising crime rate in New York City becomes a major concern, Peter decides to become Spider-Man again.
Ock needs tritium to fuel his reactor and goes to Harry to demand it. Harry initially refuses because Ock's experiment threatens to level the city, but he eventually agrees in exchange for Spider-Man and tells him that Peter, who is supposedly good friends with Spider-Man, is the key to finding him. However, he tells Ock not to harm Peter. Ock finds Peter, tells him to find Spider-Man, and abducts Mary Jane. Peter realizes that his powers are restored and dons his costume again after stealing it from the Bugle.
Spider-Man meets and battles Ock, where they fall onto a rapid transit R train. Ock maxes out the train's throttle, disables the controls, and jumps off. Spider-Man stops the train before the track ends. When he faints from exhaustion, the passengers carry him into one of the cars. He comes to and realizes his mask is off, but the passengers are so grateful they vow not to reveal his identity. Ock returns, demanding Spider-Man, and easily subdues the passengers. After knocking out Spider-Man, Ock delivers him to Harry.
After giving the tritium, Harry prepares to kill Spider-Man, only to be shocked to see that it is really Peter. Peter convinces him greater things are at stake, and Harry reveals Ock's location. Spider-Man arrives at Ock's waterfront laboratory and tries to rescue Mary Jane discreetly. One of Ock's tentacles senses him, and they fight. Spider-Man ultimately subdues Ock, reveals his identity and convinces Ock to let go of his dream for the greater good. Octavius finally commands the tentacles to obey and drowns the fusion reactor, along with himself, into the Hudson River. Mary Jane discovers Spider-Man's true identity and feelings, as well as why they cannot be together. Spider-Man returns Mary Jane to John and leaves.
Meanwhile, Harry is visited by his father's ghost in a mirror, pleading for him to avenge his death. Refusing to hurt Peter, Harry shatters the mirror, revealing a secret room containing the Green Goblin's equipment. On her wedding day, Mary Jane decides to admit her true feelings for him. After they kiss, they hear a police chase, and she encourages Peter to respond as Spider-Man.
- A superhero, a Columbia University physics student and photographer for the Daily Bugle. Juggling these separate lives means he briefly gives up his responsibilities as a superhero in a moment of adversity. When Maguire signed on to portray Spider-Man in 2000, he was given a three-film contract.[2] While filming Seabiscuit in late 2002, Maguire suffered injuries to his back and Sony was faced with the possibility of recasting their lead.[3] Negotiations arose to replace Maguire with Jake Gyllenhaal, who at the time was dating Kirsten Dunst, who portrayed Mary Jane Watson. However, Maguire recovered and was able to reprise his role, with a salary of $17 million.[4]
- A friend Peter Parker has loved since he was a child, yet he gave up the chance of being with her due to his obligations as a superhero.
- Oscorp's leader and Norman Osborn's son who holds a resentment against Spider-Man over his father's death.
- A scientist and Peter's role model who goes insane after his failure to create a self-sustaining fusion reaction. Octavius is bonded with his handling equipment, four artificially intelligent mechanical tentacles. Molina was cast as Octavius in February 2003 and immediately began physical training for the role.[5] Raimi had been impressed by his performance in Frida and also felt he had the physicality.[6] Molina only briefly discussed the role and was not aware that he was a strong contender for the role,[7] and was excited, being a big fan of Marvel Comics.[8] Although he wasn't familiar with Doc Ock, Molina found one element of the comics that he wanted to maintain, and that was the character's cruel, sardonic sense of humor.[9]
- Ben Parker's widow and Peter's aunt.
- The miserly chief of the Daily Bugle who carries a personal vendetta against Spider-Man, whom he considers a criminal.
- Donna Murphy as Rosalie Octavius
- Otto Octavius' wife and assistant
- J. Jonah Jameson's son, Mary Jane's fiancé and a national hero.
- One of Peter's college physics professors. He is a colleague of Octavius.
- Harry Osborn's deceased father who appears as a hallucination. Dafoe came up with the idea during promotion for Spider-Man, which he compared to King Hamlet haunting his son to avenge him.[10]
- Mageina Tovah as Ursula Ditkovich
- The daughter of the landlord of Peter's apartment.
As with the previous film, Bruce Campbell has a cameo appearance as an usher who refuses to let Peter enter the theater for arriving late to Mary Jane's play, thus causing a rift in their relationship. Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee portrays a man on the street who saves a woman from falling debris during a battle between Spider-Man and Doctor Octopus. Scott Spiegel portrays a man who attempts to eat some pizza Spider-Man is delivering, only to have it webbed from his hands. Joel McHale portrays the teller in the bank who refuses Aunt May's loan. Hal Sparks portrays an elevator passenger who has a conversation with Spider-Man. Donnell Rawlings portrays the New Yorker who exclaims that Spider-Man "stole that guy's pizzas". Emily Deschanel portrays the receptionist who tells Parker she is not paying for the late pizza. Aasif Mandvi portrays Mr. Aziz, the pizza store owner who later dismisses Parker. Vincent Pastore portrays a train passenger who tells Doctor Octopus that he has to get past him to get to Spider-Man; Joey Diaz portrays a similar passenger. Vanessa Ferlito portrays one of Mary Jane's co-stars. Joy Bryant has a cameo appearance as a spectator that witnesses Spider-Man in action. John Landis plays one of the doctors who operates on Doctor Octopus. Phil LaMarr portrays a train passenger who is most easily seen to the left of Spider-Man (the viewer's right) while the hero uses webbing to slow the train down.
Immediately after finishing Spider-Man, director Sam Raimi segued into directing a sequel.[7] In April 2002, Sony hired Alfred Gough and Miles Millar to write a script with Doctor Octopus, the Lizard and Black Cat as villains.[3] On May 8, 2002, following Spider-Man's record breaking $115 million opening weekend, Sony Pictures announced a sequel for 2004.[11] Entitled The Amazing Spider-Man, after the character's main comic book title,[12] the film was given a budget of $200 million[13] and aimed for a release date of May 7, 2004. The following month, David Koepp was added to co-write with Gough and Millar.[3]
In September 2002, Michael Chabon was hired to rewrite.[3] His draft had a younger Doc Ock, who becomes infatuated with Mary Jane. His mechanical limbs use endorphins to counteract the pain of being attached to his body, which he enjoys. When he injures two muggers on a date, this horrifies Mary Jane and in the resulting battle with Spider-Man his tentacles are fused together, and the fusion begins to kill him. In the script, Octavius is the creator of the genetically-altered spider from the first film, and gives Peter an antidote to remove his powers: this means when Octavius is dying with his tentacles, he wants to extract Spider-Man's spine to save himself. This leads to the alliance with Harry in the final film. Beforehand, Harry and the Daily Bugle put a $10 million price on Spider-Man's head, causing the city's citizens to turn against him.[14] Producer Avi Arad rejected the love triangle angle on Ock, and found Harry putting a price on Spider-Man's head unsubtle.[7]
Raimi sifted through the previous drafts by Gough, Millar, Koepp and Chabon, picking what he liked with screenwriter Alvin Sargent.[15] He felt that thematically the film had to explore Peter's conflict with his personal wants against his responsibility, exploring the positive and negatives of his chosen path, and how he ultimately decides that he can be happy as a heroic figure.[7] Raimi stated the story was partly influenced by Superman II, which also explored the titular hero giving up his responsibilities.[16] The story is mainly taken from The Amazing Spider-Man No. 50, "Spider-Man No More!" It was decided that Doc Ock would be kept as the villain, as he was both a visually interesting villain who was a physical match for Spider-Man, and a sympathetic figure with humanity.[7] Raimi changed much of the character's backstory however, adding the idea of Otto Octavius being a hero of Peter, and how their conflict was about trying to rescue him from his demons rather than kill him.[12]
Spider-Man 2 was shot on over one hundred sets and locations, beginning with a pre-shoot on the Loop in Chicago during two days in November 2002. The crew bought a carriage, placing sixteen cameras for background shots of Spider-Man and Doc Oc's train fight.[7] Principal photography began on April 12, 2003 in New York City. The crew moved on May 13 to Los Angeles,[3] shooting on ten major sets created by production designer Neil Spisak. After the scare surrounding his back pains, Tobey Maguire relished performing many of his stunts, even creating a joke of it with Raimi, creating the line "My back, my back" as Spider-Man tries to regain his powers.[15] Even Rosemary Harris took a turn, putting her stunt double out of work. In contrast, Alfred Molina joked that the stunt team would "trick" him into performing a stunt time and again.[7]
Filming was put on hiatus for eight weeks, in order to build Doc Ock's pier lair. It had been Spisak's idea to use a collapsed pier as Ock's lair, reflecting an exploded version of the previous lab and representing how Octavius' life had collapsed and grown more monstrous,[7] evoking the cinema of Fritz Lang and the film The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.[17] Filming then resumed on that set, having taken fifteen weeks to build, occupying Sony's Stage 30. It was 60 feet (18 m) by 120 feet (37 m) long, and 40 feet (12 m) high, and a quarter-scale miniature was also built for the finale as it collapses.[7] Filming was still going after Christmas 2003.[18]
A camera system called the Spydercam was used to allow filmmakers to express more of Spider-Man's world view, at times dropping fifty stories and with shot lengths of just over 2,400 feet (730 m) in New York or 3,200 feet (980 m) in Los Angeles. For some shots the camera would shoot at six frames per second for a faster playback increasing the sense of speed. Shots using the Spydercam were pre-planned in digital versions of cities, and the camera's movement was controlled with motion control, making it highly cost-effective. The camera system was only used in the previous film for the final shot.[7]
Although roughly the same, costume designer James Acheson made numerous subtle changes to Spider-Man's costume. The colors were made richer and bolder, the spider emblem was given more elegant lines and enlarged, the eye-lenses were somewhat smaller, and the muscle suit underneath was made into pieces, to give a better sense of movement. The helmet Maguire wore under his mask was also improved, with better movement for the false jaw and magnetic eye pieces, which were easier to remove.[7]
To create Doctor Octopus' mechanical tentacles, Edge FX was hired to create a corset, a metal and rubber girdle, a rubber spine and four foam rubber tentacles which were 8 feet (2.4 m) long, which altogether weighed 100 pounds (45 kg). The claws of each tentacle, which were dubbed "death flowers", were controlled by a single puppeteer in a chair, to control every available form on the claw. Each tentacle was controlled by four people, who rehearsed every scene with Molina to give a natural sense of movement as if the tentacles were moving due to Octavius' muscle movement.[19] On-set, Molina christened his co-stars "Larry", "Harry", "Moe" and "Flo", with "Flo" being the top-right tentacle.[20]
Edge FX was only hired to do scenes where Octavius carries his tentacles. CGI was used for when the tentacles carry Octavius: a 20 ft (6.1 m) high rig held Molina to glide through his surroundings, with CG tentacles added later.[19] The CG versions were scanned straight from the practical ones.[7] However, using the practical versions was always preferred to save money,[19] and each scene was always filmed first with Edge FX's creations to see if CGI was truly necessary. Completing the illusion, the sound designers chose not to use servo sound effects, feeling it would rob the tentacles of the sense that they were part of Octavius' body, and instead used motorcycle chains and piano wires.[7]
Blender 3D played a role in the film's development: "As an animatic artist working in the storyboard department of Spider-Man 2, I used Blender's 3D modeling and character animation tools to enhance the storyboards, re-creating sets and props, and putting into motion action and camera moves in 3D space to help make Sam Raimi's vision as clear to other departments as possible" – Anthony Zierhut, Animatic Artist, Los Angeles.
Box office[edit]
Spider-Man 2 opened in the United States on June 30, 2004 and grossed $40.4 million in its first day; this broke the first film's opening day record of $39.4 million[21] until it was surpassed a year later by Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith ($50.0 million).[22] The film also broke The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King's record ($34.5 million) for the highest-grossing Wednesday of all time.[23] It held the Wednesday record for three years until it was topped by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ($44.2 million).[24] Its Friday-to-Sunday gross reached a total of $88,156,227, which was the highest-Independence Day weekend, breaking Men in Black II's record ($52.1 million), until it was broken seven years later by Transformers: Dark of the Moon ($97.9 million).[25] In its first six days, the film had grossed over $180 million.[26] The film also eventually went on to gross $373.5 million, becoming 2004's second-highest grossing film, behind Shrek 2. Worldwide, the film grossed $783.7 million, ranking as 2004's third highest-grossing film behind Shrek 2 and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Spider-Man 2 is the twenty-third highest grossing film in the U.S. and Canada.[1]
Critical reception[edit]
Spider-Man 2 received critical acclaim. Based on 248 reviews collected by review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, Spider-Man 2 has a 94% overall approval rating from critics, with an average score of 8.3 out of 10.[27] By comparison, Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, calculated an average score of 83, based on 41 reviews.[28] The film was placed at No. 411 on Empire magazine's top 500 movies of all time list.[29]
Chicago Tribune's Mark Caro stated that Alfred Molina was a "pleasingly complex" villain, and the film as a whole "improves upon its predecessor in almost every way."[30] Kenneth Turan, of the Los Angeles Times, gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, and concurred with Caro when he stated, "Doc Ock grabs this film with his quartet of sinisterly serpentine mechanical arms and refuses to let go."[31] Roger Ebert, who had given the first film only two and a half stars, gave Spider-Man 2 a perfect four out of four stars, calling it "The best superhero movie since the modern genre was launched with Superman (1978)", and praising the film for "effortlessly [combining] special effects and a human story, keeping its parallel plots alive and moving."[32] He later called it the fourth best film of 2004."[33] IGN's Richard George felt "Sam Raimi and his writing team delivered an iconic, compelling version of Spider-Man's classic foe... We almost wish there was a way to retroactively add some of these elements to the original character."[34]
Conversely, J. Hoberman, of The Village Voice, thought the first half of the film was "talky bordering on tiresome", with the film often stopping to showcase Raimi's idea of humor.[35] Charles Taylor believed, "The script's miscalculation of Peter's decision feeds into the pedestrian quality of Raimi's direction and into Maguire's weightlessness... [Maguire] simply does not suggest a heroic presence", and suggested that "Dunst appears to be chafing against strictures she cannot articulate."[36]
Awards and nominations[edit]
Spider-Man 2 won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and was nominated for Best Sound Mixing (Kevin O'Connell, Greg P. Russell, Jeffrey J. Haboush and Joseph Geisinger) and Best Sound Editing, but lost to Ray and The Incredibles, respectively.[37] The film won Saturn Awards for Best Actor, Best Director, Best Fantasy Film, Best Special Effects, and Best Writer, while being nominated for Best Supporting Actor and Best Music.[38] It was nominated for two British Academy Film Awards for Special Visual Effects and Sound, but lost to The Day After Tomorrow and Ray, respectively.[39] The AFI listed the film as one of the 2004's ten best films,[40] and nominated it for positions on the lists of the top 10 fantasy films,[41] the 100 most inspiring American films,[42] and the 100 greatest American films.[43] Spider-Man 2 topped Rotten Tomatoes's list of the best-reviewed comic book films of all time, beating out X2: X-Men United, Batman Begins and Superman.[44] It remains the highest-rated superhero film along with The Dark Knight at 94% on rottentomatoes.com . In 2007, Entertainment Weekly named it the No. 21 greatest action film of all time.[45]
Home media[edit]
The film was initially released on DVD as a two-disc special edition on November 30, 2004. It was available in both anamorphic widescreen and Pan-and-Scan "fullscreen", as well as a Superbit edition and in a box-set with the first film. There was also a collector's edition including a reprint of The Amazing Spider-Man #50.[46]
An extended cut of the film, with eight minutes of new footage, was released as Spider-Man 2.1 on DVD and Blu-ray Disc on April 17, 2007 and on October 30, 2007. In addition to the new cut, the DVD also included new special features not on the original release, as well as a sneak preview of Spider-Man 3.[47]
The film was released on Blu-ray high definition format in October 2007 as a part of the Spider-Man: The High Definition Trilogy box set. It was also released separately on Blu-ray in November 2010 as well as the previous film as part of Sony's Blu-ray Essentials Collection.[48] The Spider-Man series was re-released on Blu-ray with a different audio transfer on June 12, 2012.[49]

The WMO CO Mole Fraction Scale consists of a set of 17 CO reference mixtures, ranging from 25 to 1003 ppb (parts per billion by mole fraction) in zero natural air and are contained in 5.9-L, high-pressure aluminum cylinders. Carbon monoxide was measured using gas chromatography with a mercuric oxide detector. The concentration range of the standards is sufficient to cover that of the background troposphere and also that found in remote locations affected by anthropogenic activities.
The low concentration standards were prepared by gravimetric methods using one of three high concentration standards as the parent. Two of the parents were prepared by gravimetric methods starting from high-purity (99.97%) CO to have concentrations of about 250 ppm (parts per million) CO. A total of 14 atmospheric level primary standards were prepared from these two parents. The third parent was a NIST SRM (National Institute of Standards and Technology, Standard Reference Material) having 9.7 ppm CO, from which three standards were prepared.

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has signed a bill that will allow foster children to attend state universities and colleges for free.
Brewer signed Senate Bill 1208 Thursday without comment. The bill establishes a 5-year tuition waiver pilot program for current or former foster children who were in state care while under the age of 17.
Children who were adopted from foster care after the age of 16 also qualify.
The children must be legal residents, complete at least 30 hours of volunteer service each year and remain in good academic standing.
State officials estimate the bill will increase the number of Arizona foster children at state universities by 50 percent. More than 100 foster children are expected to receive tuition and fee waivers through the pilot program in 2014.

Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
I couldn't find this answer or question in the forum for that matter (but maybe I didnt look hard enough LOL!) but what are the chances that EVO LTE will see the Sense 5.0 as an update? Just curious....I LOVE my LTE the way it is but I was curious if newer phones would only be getting it!
Thanks in advance to all who answer!!
Frank - 01-24-2013, 11:35 AM #2
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
It just got JB but if the One X gets Sense 5.0 then the EVO should as well. Even so, you could always get a ROM that has that.
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
Possible. Depends on how much work it is to move it over, and what the hardware overhead is. Wouldn't be shocked to see it, but it also wouldn't surprise me if it held at Sense 4+.
Thanked by: - 01-24-2013, 12:17 PM #4
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
There is no defentive answer, so you won't find that here. It's all speculation. I think the EVO LTE will get one more update before it goes off into the sunset. It will be JB 4.2 and the newest sense upgrade and it probably won't happen for months. I'm going to say June. Ok...now it's time to put away the crystal ball.
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
Well well well... I see Phil made it back down to the dungeon for a bit. Good times.
As for Sense 5, I think it looks great. Very simplified and minimalist. I hope that means it's also less resource-intensive so bringing it to the EVO would be great. Especially if the M7 that's being tested on Sprint doesn't have the microSD slot. That's a deal breaker for me. I can live with the non-removable battery because they make the integrated ones bigger. I've had no battery problems with my launch-day phone, but I want to be able to pull my card and move things to different places in a few seconds, not have to sync to my laptop and then move files to another device or drive on top of that. - 01-24-2013, 12:50 PM #6
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
I am unsure I even care myself.
To be honest I think I am done with HTC. I love sense when it works. It is a very nice UI but man oh man is it buggy as hell.
My original Evo started doing the sense crash loop where when you exited almost any app it has to reload the UI. It got on my nerves at the end.
So now I get this shiny new Evo last June and thought it would be better. It was at first but just like the old one it started doing it. Only once in awhile at first then more and more.
Now it is doing it all the time where the UI keeps loading every time I touch it. It even gets into a boot loop where it keeps booting over and over.
Unsure how alone I am in this but I would think it has to have this behavior with others as well.
I am going to just put a new ROM on it. I just need to decide on which one. Probably CM or meanbean.
I also have to decide if I want to make it s-off or not.
I LOVE HTC's hardware but this has gone on enough with me that I will probably never get another HTC phone.
When it works it is awesome! As good or better than an iPhone but when it starts acting up it is annoying as an iPhone user. iiSystems Analyst by trade, drummer by desire and music lover by birth.

Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
I'm doubtful we'll see much more in the way of updates from HTC, there's just starting to be too many newer phones and they'll want to preserve that "value add"
That being said I really like what I've seen so farLast edited by So Cold; 01-25-2013 at 06:23 AM.
Re: Sense 5.0 and EVO LTE
I got tired of the reloads too, and switched to Nova Launcher Prime. I never get those reloads anymore. I stuck with HTC because of Sense, but no more. I will probably look to Samsung in the future knowing that I'll put Nova on it and not have to deal with Touchwiz.

Born in England arguably in the late 4th century A.D., St. Patrick was captured by pirates as a child and brought to Ireland. During his enslavement, he was called to Christianity and escaped his captors after six years. He returned to Ireland as a missionary, and in his teachings, combined Irish pagan beliefs with Christian sacrament, devising the Celtic Cross. He is annually honored on March 17.
"If I have any worth, it is to live my life for God so as to teach these peoples, even though some of them still look down on me."
"I am certain in my heart that all that I am, I have received from God."
"I am at a loss to know whether to weep more for those they killed or those that are captured, or indeed for these men themselves whom the devil has taken fast for his slaves."
"I am imperfect in many things, nevertheless I want my brethren and kinsfolk to know my nature so that they may be able to perceive my soul's desire."
"Before I was humiliated I was like a stone lying in the deep mire."
"I am Patrick, a sinner, most unlearned, the least of all the faithful, and utterly despised by many."
"The Lord opened the sense of my unbelief that I might at last remember my sins and be converted with all my heart."
"It is honorable to reveal and confess the works of God."
"By the tongue will be discovered the wise man, and understanding, and knowledge, and the teaching of truth."
"We ought to fish well and diligently."
"I blush and fear exceedingly to reveal my lack of education."
Early Life
St. Patrick, apostle of Ireland, was born in England circa 385. His father, Calphurnius, was a deacon from a Roman family of high social standing. His mother, Conchessa, was a close relative of the great patron St. Martin of Tours. St. Patrick's grandfather, Pontius, was also a member of the clergy. Surprisingly, St. Patrick himself was not raised with a strong emphasis on religion. Education was not particularly stressed during his childhood either. Later in life, this would become a source of embarrassment for St. Patrick, who in the early 440s, would write in his Confessio, "I blush and fear exceedingly to reveal my lack of education."
When St. Patrick was 16 years old, he was captured by Irish pirates. They brought him to Ireland where he was sold into slavery in Dalriada. There, his job was to tend sheep. Saint Patrick's master, Milchu, was a high priest of Druidism, a Pagan sect that ruled religious influence over Ireland at the time.
St. Patrick came to view his enslavement as God's test of his faith. During his six years of captivity, he became deeply devoted to Christianity through constant prayer. In a vision, he saw the children of Pagan Ireland reaching out their hands to him. With this, he grew increasingly determined to free the Irish from Druidism by converting them to Christianity.
Missionary Work
Circa 408, the idea of escaping enslavement came to St. Patrick in a dream. In the dream, a voice promised him he would find his way home to England. Eager to see the dream materialize, St. Patrick convinced some sailors to let him board their ship. After three days of sailing, he and the crew abandoned the ship in France and wandered, lost, for 28 days—covering 200 miles of territory in the process. At last, St. Patrick was reunited with his family in England.
Now a free man, St. Patrick went to Auxerre, France where he studied and entered the priesthood under the guidance of the missionary St. Germain. As time passed, St. Patrick never lost sight of his vision: he was determined to convert Ireland to Christianity. C. 431, Pope St. Celestine I consecrated St. Patrick Bishop of the Irish, and sent him to Ireland to spread "The Good News," or Christian Gospel, to the Pagans there.
Upon his arrival in Ireland, St. Patrick was initially met with hostile resistance. But St. Patrick quickly managed to spread Christian teachings far and wide. Through preaching, writing and performing countless baptisms, he convinced Pagan Druids that they were worshiping idols under a belief system that kept them enslaved. By accepting Christianity, he told them, they would be elevated to "the people of the Lord and the sons of God."

Agency Discretion and Restoring the Reign of Reason to the NSR Program
February 6, 2006
C. Boyden Gray, David B. Rivkin, Jr., Lee A. Casey, Mark DeLaquilOn February 8, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit will hear oral arguments in New York v. EPA ("New York II"). The court will decide whether EPA acted lawfully in promulgating a key Clean Air Act reform, the Equipment Replacement Provision ("ERP"). By now, the problems with the Clean Air Act's 1970s-era command-and-control aspects have been well documented, and have prompted corrective actions by EPA. The ERP is part of a series of measures by the Bush Administration revamping outdated programs to enhance air quality benefits, while reducing costs to regulated entities, and to society as a whole.

Six special canines are taking an important test for their careers on Friday.Southwest Urban Search and Rescue K-9's and Glendale Fire Department disaster-trained dogs are taking a certification test to earn their official titles and jobs. The K-9 teams will participate in exercises like finding victims buried in a 10,000 square-foot collapsed building, climb ladders, crawl under props and proceed through a tunnel by command. The dogs play a critical role when rescuers work on structural collapse accidents. They help crews find victims buried deep in rubble by using their sense of smell. In order to pass the test, the K-9's must meet standards required by FEMA.FOX 10's Alexis Vance reports.

Photoshop Shortcut Wallpaper + More You need to memorize your shortcuts. Here's wallpaper that will make sure you do. It's a good reminder, isn't it? It also has other Adobe programs too in the link. I still recommend manually changing your shortcuts to fit your needs. Thanks to Thomas for sending this in!
Zoom Donna Karan Creates A Robot Fashion ModelI recently came across this Donna Karan campaign. Immediately, my eyes went right to her leg. It looked suspect to me, as if it didn't belong. Perhaps it may be a visual illusion due to the way the clothing is placed versus how she is leaning. Or maybe, there's another reason…Hai Le explains, "I like to imagine that she's a cyborg robot and he's the evil scientist that built her and he has to repair her leg. This is the moment right when he's pulling the leg off."There you have it, the hard hitting truth about Donna Karan's latest campaign. We all know Donna, we all know! I just had to share Hai's response to the original post here, it was too great to pass up.

Photoshop CS 7 Beta Tools and Review Last month Adobe did a private beta testing for the new Adobe CS7 with their re-imagined set of tools. I was fortunate to be invited to be a private tester. I wanted to give you a guys a run down of what you guys can expect. I'm really excited to share these features with you. New healing brush: Our old favorite healing brush has been reprogrammed to do a few new tricks. It's much smarter, similar to how vibrance is to saturation. It understands where edges are. So whenever you heal next to an edge, it retains the fidelity of that edge. It will heal any object on an edge while still keeping the edge looking normal. So if you have a flyaway going across the edge of the face with the background close to it, it won't turn murky. It will remove it and keep that edge looking normal. It also allows you to easily make hair look perfect. If you have a great hair style with a few hairs misplaced, you can remove them easily without any problems. So getting 'perfect hair' is much easier since it won't turn the hair ugly. It takes 'content aware' to another direction. I don't know how they coded it but it seems to do a lot more calculations by making use of our graphics card, processor and ram. Transition Wand: In portrait retouching, one time consuming aspect is the time spent dodging and burning skin to get those perfect transitions. In pixel terms, these are basically just darker pixels surrounding lighter pixels that need to be corrected or vice versa. Similar to how the 'refine edge' tool works, you take this tool and select a certain area with a brush, it then generated a perfect transition which you can dial back in regards to skin tones. It emulates dodging and burning so well with the precise controls. I am shocked! Auto Blemish Removal: This is a new filter that Adobe has placed into CS7 which is the most fascinating of all. Located near the top next to liquify, this tool looks almost like dust and scratches filter, where it generates a look that is a little strong in the beginning. What this filter does it analyzes the skin tone range and looks for any discrepancies. So for example, if you have a range of skin being a certain value in color and luminosity, it sees where there are any changes in this average and targets it. Usually, these 'changes' are the blemishes themselves. It then corrects it based on the surrounding areas. You can fine tune how hard it looks or how relaxed it is via a few sliders. The result is quite incredible because you can mask it. So you can select what range of skin to look at and you can mask it once it is done working. Conclusion: I did a full retouch with these three tools and took just 15 minutes and it looks better than anything I have ever done! The best part about these three tools it always retains skin texture due the frequency which skin texture is usually on (assuming). The guys at Adobe really deserve a round of applause for the job they've done here. There are quite a few more tools in their new tool set including a new interface. I have to keep the visuals under wraps for now. Expect CS 7 to potentially come out in October of this year. Oh and one more thing, April Fools!
Adobe tells Australian customers to fly to the US if they want cheaper products. Australian customers wanted to know why their boxed products costs 41% more there than the same ones in the U.S. In response, "Australians can go to the US if they want lower American prices on boxed Adobe products…"

Mortality change roils period rates. In the short term, conventional calculations of age-specific probabilities of death and life expectancy in the period immediately after the change depend on how many lives have been saved. In the long term, the probabilities and period life expectancy also depend on how long these lives have been saved. When mortality is changing, calculations of period life expectancy do not, except in special circumstances, measure the life expectancy of a cohort of newborns that hypothetically live all their lives under the new mortality regime.

To be totally safe, you should throw them out, unfortunately. That's a long time in the danger zone.
I read recently that stock left out overnight, if boiled again, was safe so I'm surprised by the above answer. I'm not stating that the beans are safe, but there seems to be very conflicting info out there.
There are many aspects of food safety that are not settled within the scientific community. Add to that different rules for home and commercial operations. Multiply that by the number of myths and the amount of disinformation running around since before our parents' time………..The bottom line is you should never deliberately create a hazardous situation such as the one being discussed here. And if you accidently do, either be safe, follow the guidelines and throw it out, know *exactly* what the dangers are and how to eliminate them, or be prepared to suffer the consequences.
Reboiling for 3 minutes should kill everything. Beans were/are a trail pioneer and cowboy staple.
Three minutes will not kill Bacillus Cereus for example (6.7 - 8.3 min. @ 212F). Ten minutes is the accepted time period for deactivating bacterial toxins.
No amount of cooking time will kill a toxin.
They aren't denatured at pasteurization temperatures if that's what you're thinking about. I see Greenstuff posted the answer below.
This Harold McGee article may be what you're thinking about. You're right, there's a lot of conflicting information.
According to USDA guidelines, you should discard the beans.
That said, I, personally, wouldn't. I'd bring them to a full boil for 10 minutes and then proceed. That is, assuming the beans had not turned to mush by that point, always a possibility when boiling soft beans.
Here is what Harold McGee has to say about bending the rules:
The nice thing about blogs is learning new things. From now on I will use the 10 minute rule too.
Thank you.
Ugh, I hate when that happens. Are the beans too mushy to boil again?? If so, start with new beans. If not, I would give it a shot, drain and rinse the beans and start with fresh water, and a new garlic clove. Also, in step 8 of the recipe, you are cooking the rice and beans for 20 minutes, which is a good long time. I've been looking for good Nicaraguan recipes, so thank you!
From the CDC:
Because botulinum toxin is destroyed by high temperatures, persons who eat home-canned foods should consider boiling the food for 10 minutes before eating it to ensure safety.
The whole website is here http://www.bt.cdc.gov/agent...
health department would say no, but honestly I would heat em up and use em.
Anything above four hours at room temperature is considered dangerous. I wouldn't play with it.
We're talking just beans in water, basically. I wonder what the possible contaminants could be? In many cultures, legumes are soaked in water overnight all the time, and then boiled the next day. Has a scientific bean study been done that should be exposed? Because my whole family has, for decades, been soaking lupini beans on the kitchen counter for 4 days or so. And they've lived to tell about it.
Pathogenic bacteria are *everywhere*. You should just assume that everything is or will be contaminated. Give bacteria the right conditions and they can replicate at a staggering rate, doubling in number every 20 minutes. One can become millions overnight. Fortunately most are easily killed at normal cooking temperatures (the pasteurization point) so when you cook your beans, they become safe to eat. Some bacteria, such as C. botulinum and B. cereus which are ubiquitous in the soil, can produce toxins that are not destroyed at pasteurization temperatures but can be inactivated at higher temperatures. Certain cooking techniques, such as slow cookers and sautéing are insufficient to reliably destroy such toxins. There have been countless cases of food poisoning resulting from improperly cooled rice used in stir-fries. And there have been numerous cases of food poisoning from undercooked kidney and other beans which contain a potent toxin from the get-go. Soak your beans, boil for 10 minutes, problems averted.
And, yes, food scientists are well versed in the microbiology we're discussing, it's just that we are dealing with third level food safety here. Consumers are (hopefully) taught that food should be refrigerated after 2 hours (1 hour if the ambient temperature is above 90F). Professionals are told food may only be in the danger zone for 4 hours, a more complex concept but allows greater flexibility. We're discussing how -- and why -- the rules can be safely bent. For more information, I encourage you to read the article written by Harold McGee (linked above).
Thanks everyone. Consensus seems to be that i'd likely be fine, particularly after a hard boil but that this us clearly against the rules and potentially dangerous. I threw out the beans, in large part because I hoped to feed them to my 2-year old daughter, and didn't want to take any chances. Thanks for all of the thoughtful responses!

Recipe by Kristen
"Delicious bits of broccoli are drenched in a cheese mixture and fried. When our local restaurant stopped serving their Broccoli Bites, we were devastated. So I tried to duplicate them at home one night. It was funny to note that soon after, they started carrying them again here."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 tablespoons prepared Dijon-style mustard
4 tablespoons honey
2 cups broccoli florets
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 egg
1 cup milk
1/2 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup vegetable oil for frying
Having read the previous comments about the watery batter, I doubled the flour to 1 C and baking powder to 1 t and the salt to 1 t. They turned out perfectly - light and crispy. The kids loved them dipped in Ranch dressing. Thanks for all the helpful comments and an original recipe with so much potential!
These were pretty good but the coating kept falling off and they were a bit too oily.

I am not normally a broccoli person, but this recipe turned me. I tried this as a recipe for my husband who loves broccoli and cheese, in return i found and easy and quick recipe that every one loves. One thing to keep in mind is that this recipe uses a lot of oil so make sure you have adaquete room to drain. I used a cooking cooling rack. Places napkins on the rack and below and served on a plate with multi colored napkins to brighten up a bit green and yellow do the trick :) Michelle
This was a very good recipe for the experienced cook. You do have to work with the batter to get it just right. Cutting back on the liquid, adding more cheese. But once you have it it is great. It is worth the effort for a different appetizer. Don't cook too long and have you oil hot hot hot. Best if eaten immediately. Leftovers tend to be greasy.
Overall this is a good recipe. However, I thought the batter was too runny. I thickened it with more flour. I dipped the broccoli in the batter and also dredged the broccoli in a dry corn muffin mix to give it some texture and flavor and it turned out great.
This was tasty. I did add less milk and increased the cheese and flour a little. That helped keep it together. Nice recipe for a change of pace or a party.
This has been a favorite for us, anything that can get my 2 year old to eat broccoli! It took a couple of trys to get the batter right, but it was worth it.
These were pretty good. My batter didn't seem to want to stick to the broccoli. I added extra flour which seemed to help. Besides that, everyone loved them.

When HP unveils its PalmPad tablet at CES 2011, it'll fight the iPad with front and back cameras, a speedy USB 3.0 port, and a mini HDMI video output. Plus, it's rumored to be 20 percent lighter that Apple's gizmo.
According to sources who spoke exclusively to FoxNews.com, CES 2011 will see HP formally announce its tablet initiative. Dubbed the PalmPad and built around the webOS operating system, the lineup will actually consist of four different products targeting consumer and education markets. The publication claims to have obtained an exclusive drawing, seen above, that allegedly represents the design of the real thing.
The first three versions for consumers are said to be a "spin-off" of the ill-fated HP Slate that got nixed over short battery life and poor performance blamed on Windows 7's resource consumption. Those three SKUs will all run webOS version 2.5.1, support Sprints fast 4G network, and sport minor hardware differences distinguishing them.'
According to author Clayton Morris, a fourth version is being described as tailored for the educational market. It should carry an 8.9-inch display, but HP won't show off this device at CES 2011:
A fourth version won't be shown off at CES, I'm told, but it will be custom made for university students to prove how versatile the machines can be.
Compared to Apple's iPad, the three PalmPads made for consumers will all feature a 9.7-inch display, like the iPad. Note: The image you see on the left is a mockup, not the actual pre-production unit.
These devices are purported to pack in a mini HDMI port and sport a slightly thinner appearance than the iPad, with "rounded edges closer to the Amazon Kindle".
In addition, they will have a forward-facing 1.3-megapixel camera for videoconferencing and a three-megapixel camera on the back. Both cameras should utilize LED flashes. All three units will weigh in at 1.25 lbs each, making them at least 20 percent lighter than both WiFi iPad (1.5 lbs) or WiFi+3G iPad (1.6 lbs).

West Virginia coal operators want the state to permit bigger and bigger strip mines. The state seems willing. But federal regulators may stop them.
Take Pittston Coal, for example. Two weeks ago, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency forced the company to slash the size of a new Logan County mine by nearly 40 percent.
Under pressure from the EPA, Pittston's Elkay Mining subsidiary reduced the amount of streams it would bury under mine waste piles called valley fills. As a result, the company won't mine all the coal it wanted to.
So far, the EPA has intervened to review only a few strip mine permits, like Pittston's, that allowed companies to fill large streams with mine waste. A bill approved by the Legislature would allow coal companies to fill in bigger streams without compensating the state.
If Gov. Cecil Underwood approves the change, other coal companies might face EPA scrutiny and be forced to make concessions similar to Pittston's.
EPA officials could review every mining permit application in the state. Coal operators might have to wait longer to get permits. They might have to travel to Philadelphia to talk with permit reviewers. State regulators, and the politicians they work for, could lose control over the process.
"A state official said this Pittston's permit is the first time an operator has had to make such a big change in its mining plan, and he expects continuing trouble from EPA on other pending mountaintop removal permits," reported Coal Outlook, an industry newsletter.
"EPA has been making more trouble for valley fill permits over the last year and a half," the newsletter said.
"An EPA official told Coal Outlook this is because valley fills have been getting bigger and bigger, thus causing concern. The EPA official agreed that large valley fills will get continued heavy scrutiny."
Bigger all the time
Over the last 25 years, strip mines have become an increasingly important part of West Virginia's coal industry.
Since the mid-1970s, the share of West Virginia coal produced by strip mines has doubled. Today, strip mines account for roughly one-third of the coal mined in the state. In the last five years alone, the average size of strip mines has also doubled. Today, the average mine permitted by the state measures 450 acres, roughly the size of 360 football fields.
Coal companies need someplace to put the huge amounts of rock and earth they dig up to get at valuable coal seams. Much of this material, which operators call spoil, is dumped into streams. It fills up and levels off hollows.
Federal and state regulators require companies to compensate the public for the loss of streams covered over by valley fills. Companies can build recreational lakes or pay the state money. The money goes into a fund used for similar projects. This compensation is known in legal terms as "mitigation."
Currently, coal operators must mitigate when streams filled in cover drainage areas of 250 acres or more.
The bill passed by the Legislature would raise this threshold to 480 drainage acres. Companies could fill in much bigger streams without compensating for the loss.
The bill was pushed by House Speaker Bob Kiss, D-Raleigh, by coal industry lobbyists Bill Raney and Ben Greene and by A.T. Massey Coal lobbyist K.O. Damron.
Some other coal companies, including Pittston and Arch Coal, did not push the measure. They don't want the permitting delays an EPA takeover might involve. They don't like the negative publicity about strip mining.
Filling Freeze Fork
In late 1996, Pittston Coal applied for a permit to open a new mine near Ethel in Logan County.
The company's Elkay Mining subsidiary would use huge shovels and bulldozers to produce 1.4 million tons of coal a year for about 15 years, according to state Division of Environmental Protection permit records.
