Genetic instability occurs in cancer cells at distinct levels. In most cancers, the instability occurs at the chromosome level, resulting in gains or losses of whole chromosomes or large portions of chromosomes. In contrast to standard molecular genetic approaches, somatic cell genetics offers the ability to ascertain the functional significance of complex genetic lesions, such as gene amplifications, duplications, inversions, or translocations, which occur frequently in tumor cells. By utilizing a combined somatic cell and molecular genetic approach, my laboratory has recently characterized a new type of chromosomal abnormality that occurs with a subset of chromosomal alterations (Smith et al., PNAS 98:13300-05, 2001). We found that four different translocation chromosomes display a delay in mitotic chromosome condensation (DMC) that is associated with a delay in the mitosis-specific phosphorylation of histone H3. Furthermore, this DMC phenotype is preceded by a delay in chromosome replication timing (DRT) that is characterized by a delay in the initiation as well as the completion of DNA synthesis. In addition, chromosomes with this phenotype participate in numerous secondary translocations and rearrangements, indicating that these chromosomes display chromosomal instability. Chromosomes with this phenotype are common in tumor cell lines and primary tumor samples. Furthermore, chromosomes with DMC/DRT can be generated by ionizing radiation. Our findings suggest that certain chromosomal alterations cause a significant delay in replication timing of the entire chromosome that subsequently results in delayed mitotic chromosome condensation and ultimately in chromosomal instability. The primary goal of this research is to determine the genetic basis for the DMC/DRT phenotype. We are considering two possibilities to explain why certain chromosome rearrangements display DMC/DRT. First, because all of the translocations that display DMC/DRT involve deletion and/or rearrangement of the affected chromosomes, it is possible that deletion or mutation of a cis element that normally establishes early replication timing has occurred. Deletion of this element would then result in delayed replication of the entire chromosome. Second, because the chromosomes with DMC/DRT involve translocations or rearrangements in or near their centromeres, it is possible that this type of rearrangement actively interferes with normal replication timing by an unknown mechanism. We are currently using chromosome engineering strategies, combined with somatic cell and molecular genetics, to generate and characterize chromosomes with DMC/DRT.
Summary of Current Research
We recently found that exposing cells to radiation can also result in this abnormal chromosome duplication problem. Chromosome duplication is central to cell division and is tightly regulated when cells divide. Our work indicates that these chromosomes that duplicate at the wrong time are prone to break during cell division, and as a result become extensively rearranged. The consequence to the cell of having one of these chromosomes is that new chromosome alterations occur quite frequently, thereby resulting in the generation of many new mutations. Therefore, our work has identified a process that occurs in both cancer cells and in cells exposed to radiation, and therefore can explain the genetic instability that occurs in both cancer cells and in cells exposed to radiation. In our most recent work, we have developed a "chromosome engineering" system that allows us to create chromosomes with this duplication problem in a controlled manner

I Know I drink a lot of water. Anywhere between 80-120 oz a day. Interesting.
just an fyi, in case you forget your dressing, you could always ask for vinegar and oil, and usually something like a blue cheese dressing will be relatively safe for every once in a while. I know that there is a probability that they use less than desirable oil sources, but the rare occasion is not going to do that much damage. Also watch out for the condiments on the burger, that is where you will often find hidden sugar.
I Know I drink a lot of water. Anywhere between 80-120 oz a day. Interesting.
Hi all. Not caught up yet, but too anxious to read through all the new posts - 8 pages of them. Oy!
I'm starting fresh today. I'm doubling up - 21 day sugar detox and EMF. I have no obstacles to worry about until March 30th (my grandmother's 75th birthday) and the obstacle there is going to be grain free cake (my aunt has jumped on the gluten free approach as well so I shared with her the gluten free cake mixes out there. She plans to make one for the party). Anyhow, that's almost a month away at this point, so I have plent of time to regain control.
Need to read through the Fat Fast cookbook to see what kind of things I can use to boost fat.
Also, posted in the recipe group an eBook with low carb breakfast ideas in it. I got it for $5.99 after using a discount code you can find on the site. The book looks pretty good, but I haven't scrutinized it yet. The problem with eBook is that you can't scrutinize them before buying them, like you can if you go to a Barnes and Noble and buy a hardcover book... that's my only complaint regarding ebooks... there's no review period.
Anyhow, wishing everyone a great start to the week.
Good morning everyone!
I just need to give myself a public pat on the back: I went for an hour hike with just my dog yesterday morning - my first physical activity in a very long time. The weather was perfect and the desert is just starting to green up.
Then I started preparing a dinner I was having for old friends visiting from out of town. I didn't want to change my menu to include anything non-primal, and I didn't want to have to explain anything either.
I made a spinach salad with avocados, roasted grape tomatoes and full fat Italian dressing. Then I served three recipes from Everyday Paleo: Family Cookbook by Sarah Fragoso. Slow Cooker Chicken Curry served over Riced Cauliflower and Roasted Squash Bites. They brought two bottles of red wine (perfect!). Everything came out great, my guests loved everything, and nobody missed the absent starches. I was so proud of how everything looked and tasted! (I tried to take a photo but my camera battery was dead! Crap...).
Anyway, I just wanted to share something good on a Monday morning... Hope everyone has a great week!
Hello All!
I am working on getting back into ketosis, with the goal of losing weight. I had surgery in Jan with a really tough recovery, was eating for pain control (not good) and exercise restrictions. Now fully cleared for activity, and need to get back into the swing of things!
I have been working out hard and clean paleo eating for about 3 weeks now, with only a 2 lb weight loss. Frustrating. Last week I realized that I need to get back into ketosis, so started modifying eating accordingly. I am now doing a 16-18 hour fast daily (through breakfast), then lunch and dinner with no snacks between or after. I have been using MFP to start tracking, and working on getting my macros under proportion. I am amazed at the quick add up of calories!
For example, today (so far):
Tea with 1 tb HWC (alright, for the purists, I technically 'broke' the fast here with 20 cals)
Lunch: Salad with
@ 3 cups lettuce, celery, cabbage, carrot (a little)
1/2 can sardines
1 HB egg
1 slice bacon, chopped
1/6 cup sunflower seeds
2 Tb olive oil
splash balsamic vinegar
For a grand total of 720 calories!! My goal in 1200/day, so I have 480 left over for the day. Macros for this salad are dead on 77/15/7, but kripes a 480 calorie dinner is tough! Any suggestions on how to modify this?
I am exercising 5 days/week, with boosting daily activity also (more walking). Hoping to see some forward progress soon. Yesterday during a fasted workout I finally hit stinky ketosis breath, so maybe I will start losing soon.
I am a 38 y.o female, 5'5", 170 lbs right now. Goal is 140. I will be weighing frequently, as my issue is ignoring the scale and saying 'I feel thinner!" with a heavy dose of denial. I need that objective check in to keep me on track.

Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter
Unicorn By my calculations, You should be eating 1536 cals 140 lb = 64 KG
64g protein
32g carb
128 g fat
This is based on the formula in the first post of this thread and is a good place to start.
Your BMR (cals your body would burn in a coma) is about 1500 as well. You should not eat under your BMR. You could force your body to slow down your metabolism. With exercise you are burning 2000 cals.

Kenyon Martin interested in Lakers
Posted March 29, 2013 - 02:46 PM

Tater Trot Tracker: July 18
Home Run of the Day: Jhonny Peralta, Cleveland Indians (Trot Time: 16.74 seconds) [video]
We've now had our thirteenth inside-the-park home run of the year and, as always, the story of how it came to be is interesting. With a long fly ball to centerfield, Tigers' centerfielder Ryan Raburn raced it down to the wall. Stretching out to make the leaping catch at the wall to rob slow-moving Jhonny Peralta of an extra-base hit, Raburn collided with the Progressive Field bullpen fence. Except the fence didn't stay latched upon collision, and Raburn fell to the ground. The ball bounced back to centerfield, but, by the time anyone could get it into the plate, Peralta had come around to score.
At 16.74 seconds, Peralta now owns the slowest inside-the-park home run time of the year (which, by the way, is slower than five home run trots from the always-notable Adam Rosales).
(Click "Read More" to continue reading.)
Slowest Trot: Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves - 26.92 seconds [video]
Hold on a second here. Didn't Prince Fielder get beaned on Saturday for, apparently, being too much of a showboat on his home run earlier that day? A home run in which he took 22.96 seconds to round the bases on? I guess when your own guy takes nearly 27-seconds to round the bases (grand slam or not - the average grand slam trot isn't that much slower than the average home run), you don't seem to notice.
Quickest Trot: Jhonny Peralta, Cleveland Indians - 16.74 seconds [video]
Since we talked about Peralta above, I'll take a moment here to note that San Diego's Chris Denorfia hit two home runs yesterday. His first trot came in at a very commendable 17.31 seconds. His second was a bit slower at 19.26, but it was still the third fastest of the day.
Adam Rosales also hit a home run yesterday, which usually means that you have a good chance of seeing him in the Quickest Trot spot. Not this time, though, as Oakland lumberer Jack Cust was on first when Rosales went yard. Cust is not fast (his average trot is nearly 26 seconds), and he wasn't going to speed up for Rosales. Because of that, we get Rosales' slowest trot of the year at 19.4 seconds. By the time Rosales reached third base, he had practically caught up to Cust and was forced to slow down considerably. Cust later hit a home run himself. His trot time for said homer: 26.14 seconds. He was rounding third base right around 19.5 seconds - meaning, it took Cust longer to run from home to third than it took a slowed-down Rosales to run the full circuit.

Dione And Rhea, Saturn's Space Knockers
Not particularly great names for boobs, but what are you gonna do? Crash a rocket into them and make cheese out all the moon-milk? You bet your sweet ass I'm gonna!
the top [right] moon there is Dione, and the bottom [left] one is Rhea. As Cassini flew by them, Dione was closer (a little more than 1.1 million km or about 690,000 miles), and Rhea farther away (1.6 million km or 1 million miles). The angle of Cassini's trajectory was just right such that Dione passed right in front of Rhea, and it snapped this image just as it happened.
From Cassini's viewpoint, the two appeared to momentarily connect. It just so happens the two have almost the same albedo (reflectance), making them look very similar in this picture, so where they overlap it looks like they're connected. Making this even more convincing is the big crater at the bottom of Dione, somehow fooling your eye into getting confused as to which moon it belongs to! So it's really easy for your brain to merge the two spherical moons into one figure-8 moon.

FOXBOROUGH — The Patriots have a long rivalry with the Jets, a dislike of the organization that stems more from off-field events than on-field results.
When Peyton Manning was in Indianapolis, New England had a rivalry with the Colts, Manning and Tom Brady, the best quarterbacks of their generation, outdueling each other.
But perhaps the Patriots' fiercest rival, the team that not only talks a lot but can actually back it up, is Baltimore.
The Patriots and Ravens are not in the same division, but they have met six times over the last six seasons, with a seventh coming Sunday in the AFC Championship game.
If those six games are any indication, Sunday's game will be a nail-biter: All but one of those previous meetings was decided by 6 points or fewer, and four were decided in the closing seconds.
"It's always a tight game," Brady said. "There's tight coverage, there's tight throws, there's tough reads because schematically they do quite a few things. It's never easy.
"They're not just going to hand you the ball, hand you points, hand you easy scores."
From Rex Ryan to Greg Mattison to Chuck Pagano, the Ravens' defensive coordinators have found ways to give Brady fits. Baltimore is the only team in the league that Brady has thrown more interceptions (eight) than touchdowns (seven) against in his career.
Next up is former Patriots defensive coordinator Dean Pees, who was promoted to the same role with the Ravens in 2012, after Pagano left to become the Colts' head coach.
Having spent six seasons in New England, Pees knows how hard it is to have success against Brady — so a little help couldn't hurt.
Asked Thursday how he can make things uncomfortable for Brady, Pees cracked, "Hire Tonya Harding," and said if the Patriots were getting off a bus, he'd spray water and hope it froze.
"He's as competitive a person as I've ever been around," Pees said of Brady. "He can give you this boyish look on TV, but he is a very, very, very competitive guy. He didn't even like losing in practice. The more we rode him on defense — because I had a couple trash-talkers — the harder he played."
Pees still has some trash-talkers on his defense. Linebacker Terrell Suggs has been unusually quiet this week, given his past propensity for taking shots at Brady, though it was an unlikely source who wasn't able to hold his tongue, or thumbs as the case may be, this time around.
Special teamer and linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo sent a series of tweets during the Patriots' win over the Texans last Sunday, calling the Patriots' offense a "gimmick" because they don't let teams get set with quick snaps and their hurry-up tempo. Ayanbadejo even invoked Spygate.
He apologized the next day, but it's almost impossible to believe that Brady wasn't informed of the comments.
The Patriots, of course, have not let one comment even in the vicinity of trash talk come out of Gillette Stadium this week. They have been highly complimentary of the Ravens, and have said they and the Ravens are the best teams in the AFC, so it's only fitting they're fighting for the chance to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.
Several Ravens have said they wanted to meet the Patriots in the playoffs again this year, intent on leaving Foxborough with a different result, and receiver Anquan Boldin declared that his team will win.
But safety Bernard Pollard insisted it isn't about revenge.
"We could not care less about revenge. If you allow revenge in football to take over on the field, that's when bad things happen," Pollard said. "We just have to go play our game. We can't worry about what happened in the AFC Championship game last year.
"Our eye has always been on that Lombardi [Trophy]. It starts with getting past this team. We just want to win."
New England won its first five games against the Ravens, the first in 1996, the Ravens' inaugural season. But things started to ramp up in 2007, when the Patriots went to Baltimore Dec. 3 for "Monday Night Football." The Ravens were in a down year, but were intent on blemishing the Patriots' undefeated record.
The final minutes of that game were almost unbelievable. New England was trailing, 24-20, in the fourth quarter and went for it on fourth and 1 from the Ravens' 30. The defense stuffed Brady on a sneak, but Ryan had called a timeout because he didn't like the alignment on the field, negating the play (as an assistant coach, Ryan was not supposed to be able to call a timeout).
Heath Evans was taken down for a loss on the re-try, but Russ Hochstein was flagged for a false start, negating that play and pushing the Patriots into fourth and 6.Continued...

Friends and family are trying to locate a Westwood woman who was reported missing Tuesday, March 16.
The woman, Kristen Payne, 36, is 5'6" tall with green eyes and red hair past the shoulders. She has a tattoo of a Persian cat on her left shoulder and another tattoo, of an eagle, on her right leg.
Phil Shannon, the deputy with the Plumas County Sheriff's Office who took the initial report, confirmed an active missing person's case and said Payne has been missing for about a month. He said foul play is not suspected.
Shannon said Michael Turner, who lives in Greenville and was in a former relationship with Payne, reported the woman was missing after her mother and sister contacted him last Tuesday asking if he had seen or heard from her.
According to Shannon, Turner reported he and Payne broke up Wednesday, Jan. 6, which he said is the last time he saw her. Shannon said Payne's mother last talked to her at the beginning of January.
The information was given to the Lassen County Sheriff's Office for out-of-area assistance. Lassen County Sgt. Matt McFarland said a deputy responded to Payne's residence in an attempt to locate her, with no results.
Turner said he and Payne had moved to the area from Modesto last year, and she could be trying to return to that area as she had contacted some friends there about a month ago.
Anyone with any information about Payne or her whereabouts should call 911 or the PCSO at 283-6300.

Meet the Parents
by Slacker And Steve
posted Nov 21 2013 5:42PM
It's getting to be the holiday season, which is loved by some and dreaded by others for the same reason: family. Family is an especially daunting prospect for those in fledgling relationships -- when are you going to meet his parents? When is he going to meet your parents? Whatever's to come, we really, really, want to avoid a whole Meet the Parents situation. Not that your Dad's as scary as Robert De Niro, but still. Here are some tips for bringing your boyfriend home for the first time.
1. Make sure you're both ready. Just like big decisions like moving in together or getting married, it's important you are ready to take this step together. Like all other aspects of a growing relationship, communication is the key.
2. Ease him in. Consider introducing him to your siblings first (if you have any). They might be able to help him feel more supported when he meets your parents. Depending on your relationship with them, you might even want him to meet your mother first, since she might be more inclined to like him than your father. Basically, it will help him to feel like he has all the allies he can get before meeting the Big Cheese (AKA your Dad).
3. It's all about baby steps. What can your boyfriend handle? Especially if he's the shy, reserved type, he may not want to meet your entire extended family at the same time. Make things more manageable for him by choosing a situation you're both comfortable with. It might be easiest for the two of you to meet on home turf. No, not necessarily your home, but somewhere familiar, such as a favorite restaurant. That will help keep things from getting overwhelming.
4. Give him a cheat sheet. Okay, so you don't actually need to make your boyfriend a cheat sheet, but you should prime him on your parents likes and dislikes to avoid any awkward rifts. Are your parents born-again Christians? He might not want to bring up his pro-gay marriage views (yet). Do they love NCIS? He might not want to joke about how only old people watch that show (ever). Just make sure he's on the same page as much as possible. You don't want to send him to the front lines without at least some artillery. Maybe that's not the best analogy for the situation…just help him make the best first impression possible.
5. Have his back. Remember, this will likely be a somewhat frightening experience for him (if you've met his parents already, you know the feeling). Be as supportive as possible. If your parents are on the offense, try to guide the conversation to safer waters. Just make sure you're alert and sensitive to the situation at hand.
Slacker when he met his wife's parents it was in Brazil. He was jet lagged and so they wanted to nap. Her parents gave up their bed. The next morning at breakfast was a bit awkward. Slacker met his ex's parents in a tiny town in California and walking in he had to protect himself because flying across the room was a can of beer. They took him to the bar at the Elk's Club. He went outside in the back yard to get some air and there were three older relatives sitting around passing around a pair of needle nose pliers with a joint! Talk about awkward Slacker doesn't do drugs at all and was not expecting that. There is tons of advice out there for men and not really for women. When you walk in and no one knows you feel like a pod person like everyone is looking at you like "he's not one of us!"
Steve never is in a relationship long enough where he has to meet the "rents." Once he did and he felt like her dad was looking at him like he was the one that is….with his daughter. It was just awkward. It is always the father that makes you nervous.
Did you have something go terribly wrong when you met the parents? Was it the most awkward situation of your life?
I had a bad experience when I went out of state to meet my ex's parents. We had been driving for hours and hours and when we hit the door he hit the food line. His entire extended family was over for a holiday dinner and he left me all alone. I had to do my own introductions explaining who I was and why I was there. Later on I met a woman and her granddaughter and she mentioned that it was weird that I had the same name as her daughter. Later it was explained that my ex dated her daughter pretty seriously and they thought that the granddaughter was my ex's kid. I made a jerk of myself because I had no idea what was going on. I felt like I didn't really know the man I had been dating.

Volunteer Recruitment that Works
As a leader, you've probably realized it's in your best interest to think about finding your replacement before you leave your volunteer position. If you don't, everything that needs your attention could come to a crashing halt. Or you might be destined to work too hard or spread yourself too thin. If you don't replace yourself, you may be in your current position for a very long time.
Plans are underway for NAPM's next Satellite Seminar, "Selecting and Implementing Web-Based Procurement Software," which will broadcast on Thursday, November 4.

By now your affiliate president should have received a packet of annual reports from the Certification Department. The packet contained the following four reports
Liner Notes
As you may recall, NAPM's Board of Directors approved two new membership options last year, one of which is the Regular Membership - Volume Discount Program (VDP.) This new membership option was implemented on January 1, 1999, and has generated considerable interest from a variety of organizations.
Arizona does not observe Daylight Saving Time. As a result, while most of the United States will set their clocks back one hour on the last Sunday of October, NAPM headquarters will remain on Mountain Standard Time, as it does year-round. NAPM office hours are 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., MST. Those of you in the Midwestern and Eastern United States will be one to two hours ahead of Arizona, while those of you on the West Coast will be one hour behind.

Summary (Magill's Survey of World Literature, Revised Edition)
The Way of the World is generally viewed as the supreme example of its genre. Its characters—the vengeful and ultimately pathetic Lady Wishfort, the sparring lovers Mirabell and Millamant, the dark and devious Mrs. Marwood—remain in the mind long after the play is over. The complexities and subtleties of relationships are observed with a keen psychological insight: the domineering nature of Lady Wishfort turning to abject dependence on her mentor Mrs. Marwood; the carefully manipulated shifts of power between Fainall and Mrs. Marwood; and the passionate attraction between Mirabell and Millamant, disguised beneath a covering of mockery and indifference.
As in The Double-Dealer, covert motives and hypocrisy govern the action of the play. Old Lady Wishfort has loved Mirabell since he pretended to love her in order to woo her niece Millamant: Her ostensible motivation in opposing the young couple's marriage is to protect her daughter from a deceiver, but her actual motivation is to avenge herself on Mirabell. Mirabell counters with an equally underhanded plan to foil Lady Wishfort's plots with a decoy—his servant Waitwell disguised as wealthy suitor Sir Rowland. Waitwell is to prepare to marry Lady Wishfort, and Mirabell is to reveal his servant's true identity and release her from the match on condition that she release Millamant's fortune and grant Mirabell her hand in marriage.
Mrs. Marwood, at the center of the scheming, exploits Lady Wishfort's dislike of Mirabell to pursue her own ends. Her ostensible desire throughout is to protect Lady Wishfort's interests. Her actual desire, however, is to fan the flames of Lady Wishfort's fury against Mirabell and to persuade her to disinherit Millamant in favor of Fainall, Mrs. Marwood's lover. Fainall, meanwhile, means to denounce his wife (Lady Wishfort's daughter) publicly for infidelity with Mirabell in an effort to blackmail Lady Wishfort into making over Mrs. Fainall's estate to him....

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Mrs. Millamant, by far the most beautiful and wittiest of all the fine ladies in London, is sought after by all the beaux in town. The niece of the rich Lady Wishfort, she is also an heir in her own right and is looked upon with great favor by Witwoud, a kinsman of Lady Wishfort. Millamant's acknowledged preference among her suitors, however, is for young Mirabell, who is the only man in London who can match that lady's devastating wit.
Mirabell is as great a favorite among the ladies in the town as Millamant is among the beaux. He is the perfect gallant; she is the perfect coquette. Among Mirabell's jealous admirers is Mrs. Marwood, the mistress of Fainall, Lady Wishfort's son-in-law. In fact, Mirabell has but one real enemy among the ladies, and that is Lady Wishfort herself. On one occasion, to further his suit with Millamant, Mirabell falsely made love to the old lady. Discovering his subterfuge later, she never forgave him. She determines that he will never marry her niece so long as she controls Millamant's fortune. In consequence, Mirabell is hard put to devise a scheme whereby he might convince Lady Wishfort to consent to the marriage.
The plan he devises is an ingenious one. Realizing that Lady Wishfort will respond to anything that even resembles a man, he promptly invents an imaginary uncle, Sir Rowland, who, he says, has fallen madly in love with Lady Wishfort and wants to marry her. He forces his servant, Waitwell, to impersonate this fictitious uncle. To placate Waitwell and further ensure the success of his plan, he contrives his servant's marriage to Lady Wishfort's maid, Foible.
His scheme might have worked were it not for the counterplans of the designing Mrs. Marwood and her unscrupulous lover, Fainall. Although she pretends to despise all men, Mrs. Marwood is secretly in love with Mirabell and has no intention of allowing him to marry Millamant. Fainall, although he detests his wife heartily, realizes that he is dependent upon her and her mother's fortune for his well-being, and he resolves to stop at nothing to make sure that fortune is in his control.
While these plans proceed, Millamant gives little thought to plots or counterplots. She has not the slightest...

The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars,
But in ourselves, that we are underlings. (1.2.145-147)
Although Romeo and Juliet are "star-cross'd lovers"; that is, they are in danger being the children of mortal enemies; the young couple make several choices that place them in the way of harm. Thus, their destiny, as the saying goes, is not so much a "matter of chance, but a matter of choice." These dangerous choices of Romeo and Juliet have been a result of their impetuous natures. In Act II, Scene 2, for instance, Juliet insists that Romeo prove his love to be real by pledging to marry her: "If thou doest love, pronounce it faithfully" (l.94).
Later, their marriage complicates, rather than solves, problems as Friar Laurence has hoped because Romeo impulsively slays Tybalt after Mercutio is killed; this action, in turn, causes Romeo's banishment, which in turn puts him in Mantua where there is a plague and Romeo is quarantined. So then, he does not learn what has happened to the unfortunate Juliet, whose father wants her to marry the nobleman Paris. As a result of this predicament, Juliet goes to Friar Laurence who works out the scheme of her feigned death, which later ends in tragedy because Romeo is not informed that Juliet is actually alive and because Friar Laurence abandons Juliet in the catacombs.
In short, the tangled web of tragic events in the lives of Romeo and Juliet is woven by their impulsive acts in the beginning. The young lovers become fated because of their choices, rather than because of the "stars." Their story is a lesson to readers of the importance of making wise choices in their lives, for the results of impulsive decisions can, indeed, be tragic as choices--free will--are often limited by the predicaments in which people have already put themselves.

Summer Sanders: Life After the Gold Medal
May 9, 2012
© Courtesy of Summer Sanders
Former Olympian Summer Sanders has lead a successful life in and out of the pool. Twenty years ago she brought home four medals from the games in Barcelona, two of them gold. Since then, she has gone on to become a sports broadcaster, TV host, Kellogg spokesperson and mother to six-year-old Skye Bella and four-year-old Robert Charles Spider. She took some time out to talk to us about how she's encouraging her own kids to be active, and what they think of her Olympic past.
Do your kids like to swim too, or do they have a favorite sport of their own?
My kids love all sports. My husband was an Olympic skier and I was an Olympic swimmer. Everyone thinks our kids are going to be Olympic skiers or swimmers too, but it's my job to introduce them to new sports. My son, who's four, loves ice hockey and my six-year-old daughter loves gymnastics, and they both love soccer.
How do you get your kids to be active?
My kids love to be active, but it's because my husband and I lead by example with our own fitness and nutrition. They know Mommy goes for a run or Daddy goes for a bike ride and they see us come back all sweaty. Now, my son will come back from riding his bike and say, "Look how sweaty I am!" He feels good and knows that getting exercise is important. I want to help them fall in love with that feeling of accomplishment.
What's important in how you feed your kids?
I always try to instill in my kids the importance of a healthy breakfast. You can't get to the glory of the finish line without a great start, which is why I chose to take part in Team Kellogg's and "From Great Starts Come Great Things" campaign. Athletes were able to share how they got their start, mine at age four, and what it took to get them to the top.
PLUS: 15 On-the-Go Breakfast Recipes
How do you know when it's OK to let them quit a sport?
I make them finish out what they start. My kids are young so seasons are usually pretty short, usually only 8 weeks. Ultimately the decision to sign up for the sport again is their decision; I put that ball in their court. However, they can't give up on their team. I try to teach them that they are accountable to others.
What have you taken from the way your parents raised you? Are you raising future champions?
I had natural talent and my mom recognized that. When you see you have a kid who is competitive and gets it, it puts a lot of pressure on the parents to do what is right. With my own kids I look to make sure they are smiling and that they are the best teammates they could possibly be.
What do your Olympic medals mean to your kids? Do they just see you as Mommy or do they understand your accomplishments?
They don't get it! My daughter just started school and is beginning to realize the meaning, because her friends come over they ask to see my medals. However, my son has no clue. When he first saw our Olympic medals he had just started swimming and was receiving a lot of those little ribbons they typically give out. He put one around his neck and said. "What do I have to do to get one of these?" I told him how with a lot of hard work and dedication he could earn a medal like mine one day, but he only replied with, "What swim meet gives medals out like these?" He simply thought some meets give out ribbons and some medals!
What's life been like post-Olympics?
This year is my 20th anniversary of my Olympic gold medal wins. Since that time I have been given so many amazing opportunities, from interviewing one of my heroes, Michael Jordan, to hosting on Nickelodeon, and getting married and having my kids. I'm so grateful for everything and cherish every moment that I have with the people that make me happy.
Have your kids ever seen any clips or episodes from your Nickelodeon days on Figure it Out?
My time on Nickelodeon was a treasure and a treat, so when I ran into my old producer a few weeks ago I begged her for some copies to share with my kids. It was a big moment for me! When I walked in with the tapes they were watching SpongeBob. There was a bit of an uproar when I went to change their show, but eventually they gave in. I sat and watched them look at the screen and look at me, look at the screen and look at me. Finally, they came out with "That's you!" And then, "Why they'd do that to your hair?" (They had styled it very big the show). Then in a very nice grown-up attempt to not crush my spirit my daughter looked at me and asked, "Mom, any way we can put SpongeBob back on?"
Any Mother's Day plans this year?
I found growing up my mom was always slightly disappointed on Mother's Day, because she left it up to us and we didn't quite come through. Sorry, Mom! So I specifically ask for something. This year I told my husband I wanted a foot rub--my daughter gives amazing ones--and that I don't want to make a single meal or clean any dishes!

The most noble of Rhône red varieties, syrah has traveled farther and more successfully than any other. A native of southeast France, it has been loved for centuries in the guise of northern Rhône wines such as Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and Cornas. Its dark robe, meaty, ageworthy texture and evocative perfume reminiscent of fresh game, pepper, and violets give it pride of place among the finest wine varieties in the world. From the dramatically geological extrusions and the alluvial outcropping dreamscape of the Alamo Creek Valley, located slightly Northeast of the town of Santa Maria—the place where the wild things roam—comes this intensely concentrated and mineral-rich Syrah. Deeply colored, seductively perfumed, peppery and gamey, it offers breathtaking balance. For optimal expression, we suggest a gentle decanting, allowing the wine to breathe an hour or two prior to consumption. Vital Statistics Varietal Composition: 100% syrah Appellation: San Luis Obispo Vineyard: Alamo Creek Alcohol by Volume:13.3% Serving Temperature: 55–60°F Cellaring: 2-5 years from release (Mar. 2010)

Jimmie Rodgers (1979)
Nolan Porterfield's 1979 Jimmie Rodgers is the definitive Jimmie Rodgers biography, a frank and honest look at a man who was determined to make the most of what he knew was going to be a very short life. Porterfield pulls no punches in the biography and spends as much time discussing Jimmie's weaknesses as he does his strengths. As a result, the story that he tells is even more astounding than if he had written a puff piece portraying Jimmie as the perfect superstar of his day.

The Woodson Art Museum hosted a daylong accessibility training for community members, Museum volunteers, and colleagues on Friday, February 22. Museum educators from the Museum of Wisconsin Art and the Milwaukee Public Museum joined other speakers in presenting how their institutions offer diverse programs for visitors of all ages and abilities. Panel discussions and presentations focused on audiences with specific needs and programs that serve them such as SPARK! for individuals with memory loss and Art Beyond Sight for those with low vision or blindess. Peter Berg of the Great Lakes ADA Center at the University of Illinois at Chicago offered an informative keynote address, which covered the requirements and logistics stemming from the Americans with Disabilities Act. Berg is an outstanding representative for the Great Lakes ADA Center and also a champion for the blind community. Berg's PowerPoint visuals served his audience well, while he relied on "Job Access with Speech" or "JAWS" a screen-reading program for the blind. It was enlightening to observe this technology in use and to see how Berg, upon hearing a five-second or so sound byte of his slide title, was able to articulate his points.
When I began assisting educator Jayna Hintz with the Woodson Art Museum's Art Beyond Sight program last year, I was nervous. Working with individuals with vision loss and blindness in an art museum concerned me – how was I going to communicate effectively? What should I or shouldn't I say? Could I use the words "see" or "look?"
Leading public programs usually prompts an adrenaline rush that comes from being "on" for visitors, but Art Beyond Sight had me anxious. Accessibility for all visitors is a goal at museums across the country but at the Woodson, it's a priority. After training from Jayna about how best to serve this audience – serving as a sighted guide, offering verbal descriptions of artworks, and etiquettes for various interactions such as assisting an individual in finding a seat in the galleries – I was prepared to greet participants and join them on their in-gallery sensory experience . . . .
I loved it.
Over a year later I find myself looking forward to Art Beyond Sight on periodic Saturday mornings at the Museum, before we open our doors to the general public. What I've found through this program is a consistent group of thoughtful, generous, and enthusiastic art lovers who make the journey to the Woodson Art Museum during each exhibition for art making and appreciation. In the ten minutes before the program begins, the Museum's main entrance fills with "It's so great to see you" and "What are we going to look at today?"
Saturday, March 9, artist in residence Calvin Nicholls will join Jayna and me for an Art Beyond Sight program in the galleries amid Folding Paper and Paper Sculpture by Design. Nicholls will provide materials and a hands-on exercise in paper sculpting for participants, inviting them to enter his world of highly detailed paper sculptures. Like me, before my first Art Beyond Sight program, Calvin is filled with questions and earnest concerns – the last thing anyone ever wants to do is say or do something inappropriate. His passion for his work and hours of preparation for his residency assure me that he'll be a wonderful addition to the March 9 Art Beyond Sight program.
Museum accessibility means more than wheelchair ramps and push buttons to open doors – although these amenities are important. It challenges educators to think about multiple points of access and making meaningful connections with individuals from all backgrounds and abilities.

Fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs) are not growth factors, but instead bind to voltage-gated Na+ channels (NaV) and regulate their function. Mutations in FGF14, an FHF that is the locus for spinocerebellar ataxia 27 (SCA27), are believed to be pathogenic because of a dominant-negative reduction of NaV currents in cerebellar granule cells. Here, we demonstrate that FGF14 also regulates members of the presynaptic CaV2 Ca2+ channel family. Knockdown of FGF14 in granule cells reduced Ca2+ currents and diminished vesicular recycling, a marker for presynaptic Ca2+ influx. As a consequence, excitatory postsynaptic currents (EPSCs) at the granule cell to Purkinje cell synapse were markedly diminished. Expression of the SCA27-causing FGF14 mutant in granule cells exerted a dominant-negative reduction in Ca2+ currents, vesicular recycling, and the resultant EPSCs in Purkinje cells. Thus, FHFs are multimodal, regulating several discrete neuronal signaling events. SCA27 most likely results at least in part from dysregulation of Ca2+ channel function.

Student loans require repayment at a future date. In most cases, loans do not have to be repaid until six months after leaving school or dropping below half-time enrollment. If you decide to discontinue your education before graduating, you will be required to start payments towards your loan six months from the your last date of half-time enrollment. Make sure that you understand repayment option before you borrow.
Failure to repay your loan will result in consequences such as:
Federal Direct Loan Types
Below are the steps for applying for a student loan. We recommend that you print the Loan Information packet for important deadlines and application instructions. Incomplete files will delay processing!
Highly Recommended:
All sources of funding are considered when determining your maximum amount of eligibility for financial aid. This is including but not limited to PELL, SEOG, Federal Direct Student Loans, Scholarships, A+ Scholarship, Vocational Rehabilitation and any other program participation. Students receiving financial aid must meet satisfactory academic progress standards (SAP). Failure to meet these standards may result in a student's loss of financial aid eligibility until satisfactory academic progress can be reestablished. Refer to the Financial Aid Handbook for more information about SAP, or contact the Enrollment Services Department, Administration Building, Room 1113, 636-922-8270.
Enrollment Services will determine the amount you are eligible to receive. It is possible to receive both a subsidized loan and an unsubsidized loan for the same enrollment period. The amounts that you may borrow will depend upon whether you are a dependent versus independent student, your cost of attendance (determined by the college/university that you attend), and your current grade level. It is recommended that you borrow only what is necessary.
Loan Limits Chart | |||
Completed Credit Hours | Dependent | Independent | Subsidized |
0-27 | $5,500/year | $9,500/year | $3,500/year |
28-96 | $6,500/year | $10,500/year | $4,500/year |
Loans will be pro-rated for students enrolled in their last semester of the LPN program prior to graduation due to the shortened length of that final semester. Pro-ration will be based on the number of credit hours enrolled for that term according to the chart below.
Loan Proration Chart | ||
Credit Hours Enrolled In | Dependent 6500 | Independent 10500 |
6 | $1,625 | $2,625 |
7 | $1,895 | $3,062 |
8 | $2,166 | $3,500 |
9 | $2,437 | $3,937 |
10 | $2,708 | $4,375 |
11 | $2,979 | $4,812 |
12 | $3,250 | $5,250 |
Exit counseling is required before you withdraw, graduate, or drop below half-time enrollment (6 credit hours). You must complete Exit Counseling upon leaving SCC, even if you plan to transfer to another school. Exit Counseling provides important information you will need as you prepare to repay your federal student loans. You will review your rights and responsibilities as a borrower and receive helpful tips for loan repayment.
Complete exit counseling online at www.studentloans.gov. Select "Loan Exit Counseling," then complete the steps listed.

Army of Northern Virginia - Left Wing, Part 2
