Studies of the Structure and Organization of Cationic Lipid Bilayer Membranes: Calorimetric, Spectroscopic, and X-Ray Diffraction Studies of Linear Saturated P-O-Ethyl Phosphatidylcholines Biophysical Journal, Volume 80, Issue 3, 1 March 2001, Pages 1329-1342 Ruthven N.A.H. Lewis, Ingrid Winter, Manfred Kriechbaum, Karl Lohner and Ronald N. McElhaney Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry, x-ray diffraction, and infrared and 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance (31P-NMR) spectroscopy were used to examine the thermotropic phase behavior and organization of cationic model membranes composed of the P-O-ethyl esters of a homologous series of n-saturated 1,2-diacyl phosphatidylcholines (Et-PCs). Differential scanning calorimetry studies indicate that on heating, these lipids exhibit single highly energetic and cooperative endothermic transitions whose temperatures and enthalpies are higher than those of the corresponding phosphatidylcholines (PCs). Upon cooling, these Et-PCs exhibit two exothermic transitions at temperatures slightly below the single endotherm observed upon heating. These cooling exotherms have both been assigned to transitions between the liquid-crystalline and gel phases of these lipids by x-ray diffraction. The x-ray diffraction data also show that unlike the parent PCs, the chain-melting phase transition of these Et-PCs involves a direct transformation of a chain-interdigitated gel phase to the lamellar liquid-crystalline phase for the homologous series of n≥14. Our 31P-NMR spectroscopic studies indicate that the rates of phosphate headgroup reorientation in both gel and liquid-crystalline phases of these lipids are comparable to those of the corresponding PC bilayers. However, the shape of the 31P-NMR spectra observed in the interdigitated gel phase indicates that phosphate headgroup reorientation is subject to constraints that are not encountered in the non-interdigitated gel phases of parent PCs. The infrared spectroscopic data indicate that the Et-PCs adopt a very compact form of hydrocarbon chain packing in the interdigitated gel phase and that the polar/apolar interfacial regions of these bilayers are less hydrated than those of corresponding PC bilayers in both the gel and liquid-crystalline phases. Our results indicate that esterification of PC phosphate headgroups results in many alterations of bilayer physical properties aside from the endowment of a positively charged surface. This fact should be considered in assessing the interactions of these compounds with naturally occurring lipids and with other biological materials. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (290 kb) |
Mixtures of Cationic Lipid O-Ethylphosphatidylcholine with Membrane Lipids and DNA: Phase Diagrams Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 4, 1 October 2003, Pages 2449-2465 Rumiana Koynova and Robert C. MacDonald Abstract Ethylphosphatidylcholines are positively charged membrane lipid derivatives, which effectively transfect DNA into cells and are metabolized by the cells. For this reason, they are promising nonviral transfection agents. With the aim of revealing the kinds of lipid phases that may arise when lipoplexes interact with cellular lipids during DNA transfection, temperature-composition phase diagrams of mixtures of the O-ethyldipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine with representatives of the major lipid classes (phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, phosphatidylglycerol, cholesterol) were constructed. Phase boundaries were determined using differential scanning calorimetry and synchrotron x-ray diffraction. The effects of ionic strength and of DNA presence were examined. A large variety of polymorphic and mesomorphic structures were observed. Surprisingly, marked enhancement of the affinity for nonlamellar phases was observed in mixtures with phosphatidylethanolamine and cholesterol as well as with phosphatidylglycerol (previously reported). Because of the potential relevance to transfection, it is noteworthy that such phases form at close to physiological conditions, and in the presence of DNA. All four mixtures exhibit a tendency to molecular clustering in the gel phase, presumably due to the specific interdigitated molecular arrangement of the O-ethyldipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine gel bilayers. It is evident that a remarkably broad array of lipid phases could arise in transfected cells and that these could have significant effects on transfection efficiency. The data may be particularly useful for selecting possible "helper" lipids in the lipoplex formulations, and in searches for correlations between lipoplex structure and transfection activity.

Interaction between Artificial Membranes and Enflurane, a General Volatile Anesthetic: DPPC-Enflurane Interaction Biophysical Journal, Volume 84, Issue 5, 1 May 2003, Pages 3123-3137 Nathalie Hauet, Franck Artzner, François Boucher, Cécile Grabielle-Madelmont, Isabelle Cloutier, Gérard Keller, Pierre Lesieur, Dominique Durand and Maïté Paternostre Abstract The structural modifications of the dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) organization induced by increasing concentration of the volatile anesthetic enflurane have been studied by differential scanning calorimetry, small-angle, and wide-angle x-ray scattering. The interaction of enflurane with DPPC depends on at least two factors: the enflurane-to-lipid concentration ratio and the initial organization of the lipids. At 25°C (gel state), the penetration of enflurane within the lipids induces the apparition of two different mixed lipid phases. At low anesthetic-to-lipid molar ratio, the smectic distance increases whereas the direction of the chain tilt changes from a tilt toward next-neighbors to a tilt between next-neighbors creating a new gel phase called Lβ′2NNN. At high ratio, the smectic distance is much smaller than for the pure Lβ′ DPPC phase, i.e., 50Å compared to 65Å, the aliphatic chains are perpendicular to the membrane and the fusion temperature of the phase is 33°C. The electron profile of this phase that has been called Lβi, indicates that the lipids are fully interdigitated. At 45°C (fluid state), a new melted phase, called Lα2, was found, in which the smectic distance decreased compared to the initial pure Lα1 DPPC phase. The thermotropic behavior of the mixed phases has also been characterized by simultaneous x-ray scattering and differential scanning calorimetry measurements using the Microcalix calorimeter of our own. Finally, titration curves of enflurane effect in the mixed lipidic phase has been obtained by using the fluorescent lipid probe Laurdan. Measurements as a function of temperature or at constant temperature, i.e., 25°C and 45°C give, for the maximal effect, an enflurane-to-lipid ratio (M/M), within the membrane, of 1 and 2 for the Lα2 and the Lβi lamellar phase respectively. All the results taken together allowed to draw a pseudo-binary phase diagram of enflurane-dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine in excess water. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (445 kb) |

Research Article
T. Zhu and M. Caffrey
Department of Chemistry, Ohio State University, Columbus 43210.
1-Behenyl-2-lauryl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (22/12 PC) belongs to a unique group of phospholipids in which the molecule has one acyl chain almost twice as long as the other. The temperature-composition phase diagram for this lipid in the range of 25–65 degrees C, and 0 to 84.3% (w/w) water has been constructed by using the isoplethal method in the heating direction and x-ray diffraction for phase identification and structure characterization. At water contents between 10.3 and 34% (w/w) and at temperatures below 43 degrees C, a single mixed interdigitated lamellar gel phase (Lm beta, [symbol: see text]) of the type described by Hui et al. (1984. Biochemistry. 23:5570–5577) and McIntosh et al. (1984. Biochemistry. 23:4038–4044) was found. A second phase consisting of bulk aqueous solution coexists with the Lm beta phase at hydration levels above 34% (w/w) water in the temperature range between 25 and 43 degrees C. Above 43 degrees C, a partially interdigitated lamellar liquid crystalline (Lp alpha) phase ([symbol: see text]) is seen in the water concentration range extending from 0 to 84.3% (w/w). The pure Lp alpha phase is found below 43% (w/w) water, while coexistence of the Lp alpha phase and the bulk aqueous solution is observed above this water concentration which marks the hydration boundary. Interestingly, the latter boundary for both Lm beta and Lp alpha phases is nearly vertical in the temperature range studied. Furthermore, the lamellar chain-melting transition temperature appears to be relatively insensitive to hydration in the range 0–85% (w/w) water. We have confirmed the identify of the Lm beta phase by constructing a 5.7-A resolution electron density profile on oriented samples by the swelling method. Temperature-induced chain melting effects an increase in lipid bilayer thickness suggesting that the Lp alpha phase has chains packed in the partially as opposed to the mixed interdigitated configuration. Unlike the symmetric phosphatidylcholines a ripple (P beta') phase was not found as an intermediate between the low and high temperature lamellar phases of 22/12 PC. The specific volume of 22/12 PC is 940 (+/- 1) microliter/g and 946 (+/- 1) microliter/g in the hydrated lamellar gel state at 28 (+/- 2) and 40 (+/- 2) degrees C, respectively, from neutral buoyancy experiments. Based on measurements of the temperature dependence of the various lattice parameters of the different phases encountered in this study the corresponding lattice thermal expansion coefficients have been measured. These are discussed and their dependence on lipid hydration is reported.

Date/Equation Challenge
January 31, 2007
My student advisory group enjoys our 'Today's Date/Equation Challenge.' Our rule is to keep the numerals (or factors of them) in the order that they appear in the day's date, creating an equation. Operational signs and equal signs are to be inserted between digits. For example, January 19, 2007, can be done this way: -1-1+9=07 (1-19-07). December 3, 2006: 1+2+3=06 (12-3-06). November 23, 2006: (1x1)x(2x3)=06. I leave these equations on the board throughout the day. Students get really excited about this challenge.

Question 1: May a motor carrier create an accident register of its own, or is there a specified form that must be used?
Guidance: There is no specified form. A motor carrier may create or use any accident register as long as it includes the elements required by §390.15.
Question 2: Would the accident report retention requirement in §390.15(b)(2) include an ''Adjuster's Report'' that is normally considered to be an internal document of an insurance company?
Guidance: No. The intent of §390.15(b)(2) is that motor carriers maintain copies of all documents which the motor carrier is required by the insurance company to complete and/or maintain. §390.15(b)(2) does not require motor carriers to maintain documents, such as ''Adjuster's Reports,'' that are typically internal documents of the insurance company.
Question 3: What types of documents must a motor carrier retain to support its accident register and be in compliance with §390.15(b)?
Guidance: The documents required by §390.15(b)(2) include all information about a particular accident generated by a motor carrier or driver to fulfill its accident reporting obligations to State or other governmental entities or that motor carrier's insurer. The language of paragraph (b)(2) does not require a motor carrier to seek out, obtain, and retain copies of accident reports prepared by State investigators or insurers.
Question 4: Does a foreign-based motor carrier's accident register have to include accidents that occur in Canada or Mexico?
Guidance: Motor carriers must record accidents occurring within the U.S. and on segments of interstate movements into Canada between the U.S.-Canadian border and the first physical delivery location of a Canadian consignee. The FHWA further believes its regulations require the documentation of accidents for segments of interstate movements out of Canada between the last physical pick-up location in Canada and the U.S.-Canadian border. The same would be true for movements between the U.S.-Mexican border and a point in Mexico. However, the FHWA does not have authority over Canadian and Mexican motor carriers that operate within their own countries where the transportation does not involve movements into or out of the United States.

Most third world countries use the T series due to it being cheap(you can seriously buy one for a couple hundred grand vs the multi million dollar investment in the Leopard or Type 90) So if you have a better version,please share as I am interested to know what type of vehicle shot at these people. I do not think it was a BMP as it appears far too short.

Since I broke both my feet 10 years ago, all I can find to fit comfortably are crocs, I even wear my crocs in the winter. I bought these in the only color (oyster) that they had available at the time....and I absolutely LUV them!! I will be buying additional colors when they become available in my size. They are extremely comfortable and I know from past experience with the Maryjane crocs they are very durable. My 1st 2 pairs of crocs went through 5 years of everyday wear and tare before they gave out on me, so they are very durable!! Absolutely LUV them and can't wait to buy the other colors!

Good purchase
I like the shoes style and good quality. I can wear it with sock without sweating. Everything is perfect except the top movable strap. My instep is thick and that strap hurt my instep. I wear size 6 and it fit me well except the movable strap. Maybe size 6 1/2 will be better. I am considering to cut that strap to release my instep.

should have bought a size larger
When deciding what size to purchase I went by the size chart which was helpful in determining the right fit for top to bottom but not for side to side. These are a good basic fit espeically top to bottom but very narrow for side to side. They pinch the center of my foot and the snaps or buttons that connect the center strap rub on the arch of my foot and cause blisters. I may buy another pair in the next size up because I really like these and crocs are great for my work as a textile printing studio tech.

My favorite shoe style and my favorite Crocs
I have fallen arches and get foot pain in most shoes from other brand names, even the very expensive ones with special insoles. Crocs brand in general are the only shoes I can war, and this is my favorite model. For the price, they are durable enough. I wore a hole in the sole of my last pair after wearing them daily for about 6 months.
The style is dressy enough to look decent with a pair of trousers for moderately dressy occasions.

Radiation Emergencies
Measuring Radiation
When scientists measure radiation, they use different terms depending on whether they are discussing radiation coming from a radioactive source, the radiation dose absorbed by a person, or the risk that a person will suffer health effects (biological risk) from exposure to radiation. This fact sheet explains some of the terminology used to discuss radiation measurement.
Units of Measure
Most scientists in the international community measure radiation using the System Internationale (SI), a uniform system of weights and measures that evolved from the metric system. In the United States, however, the conventional system of measurement is still widely used.
Different units of measure are used depending on what aspect of radiation is being measured. For example, the amount of radiation being given off, or emitted, by a radioactive material is measured using the conventional unit curie (Ci), named for the famed scientist Marie Curie, or the SI unit becquerel (Bq). The radiation dose absorbed by a person (that is, the amount of energy deposited in human tissue by radiation) is measured using the conventional unit rad or the SI unit gray (Gy). The biological risk of exposure to radiation is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit sievert (Sv).
Measuring Emitted Radiation
When the amount of radiation being emitted or given off is discussed, the unit of measure used is the conventional unit Ci or the SI unit Bq.
A radioactive atom gives off or emits radioactivity because the nucleus has too many particles, too much energy, or too much mass to be stable. The nucleus breaks down, or disintegrates, in an attempt to reach a nonradioactive (stable) state. As the nucleus disintegrates, energy is released in the form of radiation.
The Ci or Bq is used to express the number of disintegrations of radioactive atoms in a radioactive material over a period of time. For example, one Ci is equal to 37 billion (37 X 109) disintegrations per second. The Ci is being replaced by the Bq. Since one Bq is equal to one disintegration per second, one Ci is equal to 37 billion (37 X 109) Bq.
Ci or Bq may be used to refer to the amount of radioactive materials released into the environment. For example, during the Chernobyl power plant accident that took place in the former Soviet Union, an estimated total of 81 million Ci of radioactive cesium (a type of radioactive material) was released.
Measuring Radiation Dose
When a person is exposed to radiation, energy is deposited in the tissues of the body. The amount of energy deposited per unit of weight of human tissue is called the absorbed dose. Absorbed dose is measured using the conventional rad or the SI Gy.
The rad, which stands for radiation absorbed dose, was the conventional unit of measurement, but it has been replaced by the Gy. One Gy is equal to 100 rad.
Measuring Biological Risk
A person's biological risk (that is, the risk that a person will suffer health effects from an exposure to radiation) is measured using the conventional unit rem or the SI unit Sv.
To determine a person's biological risk, scientists have assigned a number to each type of ionizing radiation (alpha and beta particles, gamma rays, and x-rays) depending on that type's ability to transfer energy to the cells of the body. This number is known as the Quality Factor (Q).
When a person is exposed to radiation, scientists can multiply the dose in rad by the quality factor for the type of radiation present and estimate a person's biological risk in rems. Thus, risk in rem = rad X Q.
The rem has been replaced by the Sv. One Sv is equal to 100 rem.
Abbreviations for Radiation Measurements
When the amounts of radiation being measured are less than 1, prefixes are attached to the unit of measure as a type of shorthand. This is called scientific notation and is used in many scientific fields, not just for measuring radiation. The table below shows the prefixes for radiation measurement and their associated numeric notations.
Prefix Equal to Which is this much Abbreviation Example
atto- 1 X 10-18.000000000000000001 a aCi

Common Radiation Exposures
People are exposed to radiation daily from different sources, such as naturally occurring radioactive materials in the soil and cosmic rays from outer space (of which we receive more when we fly in an airplane). Some common ways that people are exposed to radiation and the associated doses are shown in the table below.
Source of exposure Dose in rem Dose in sievert (Sv)
Exposure to cosmic rays during a roundtrip airplane flight from New York to Los Angeles 3 mrem 0.03 mSv
One dental x-ray 4?15 mrem 0.04?0.15 mSv
One chest x-ray 10 mrem 0.1 mSv
One mammogram 70 mrem 0.7 mSv
One year of exposure to natural radiation (from soil, cosmic rays, etc.) 300 mrem 3 mSv

Son Loves It! Kin from California– Verified Buyer My son took over this chair and he really likes it. It is just how the picture shows and it's described well. Very nice quality for the price. |
Plastic Back Provides EXCEPTIONAL comfort!! Satsified Customer from California I was a little hesistant to purchase this item because it had a plastic back, but I went through with the purchase any way. Honestly this is by far the most comfortable chair I have ever sat it. The cut outs in the back allow it to flex with every movement and conform to my back when sitting still. I would highly suggest this to anyone looking for a comfortable chair, and also one that will hold up. It was a snap to put together and the instructions were clearly written, definitely an A+!!! |

FORT MYERS, Fla. — While playing in the Intercity League for the Lexington Blue Sox on an August night in 2011, Beverly's Peter Frates was hit with a pitch on the left wrist.
Frates, a Boston College captain out of St. John's Prep in Danvers, didn't think much of it at the time. Baseball players are used to being hit. But the pain persisted. And when he went to a doctor, concerns were raised and tests were conducted.
He received a devastating diagnosis: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Lou Gehrig's disease.
Frates, 28, was on the field at JetBlue Park with his beloved BC Eagles Thursday, serving in his voluntary role as "director of baseball operations" for coach Mike Gambino's team in its game against the Red Sox in the annual college doubleheader.
"It's a sham title," he said, "but I love every minute of it. I do whatever I can to help the kids out. Sometimes they're comfortable coming to me and talking about things, and I help Coach out as much as I can.
"I used to love this game. It's the highlight. You never forget playing against Red Sox players. It's a big deal for all of us then and now."
Frates, who threw out the first pitch from his wheelchair, played in this game for four years as an outfielder. The closest he came to getting a hit was reaching on an error against Curt Schilling, who coincidentally is a major spokesman for ALS.
"Curt called me about a week after I was diagnosed," said Frates. "My family said, 'We have to get in touch with Schilling; he's a face for this.' I said, 'No, we're not. We'll do our thing and see if it can happen organically.'
"Sure enough, Curt leaves me a great voice mail. Very Curt. Something to the effect, 'Hey Pete, I can't tell you how many people have called, e-mailed, and texted about you. I have to call you, so here I am.'
"He left a great message. He goes, 'Oh yeah, and by the way, I still remember you're 0 for 1 lifetime against me.' And he hung up the phone. Very funny. Very genuine. He's been great."
It was déjà vu for Frates, who was teammates for three years at BC with righthander Terry Doyle, who is in Red Sox camp on a minor league contract. Doyle pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning against BC with his friend watching proudly.
"He's just one of the best people you'll ever know," said Frates, standing against the dugout railing as he held himself up. "He'd do anything for you. He's so smart. He doesn't throw 98, but he's a part-time math teacher, so he'll find a way to get you off-balance and get you out."
"[Frates has] turned this into a positive and he's run with it," said Doyle, who recalls pitching a scoreless inning for the Eagles vs. the Red Sox as a freshman, allowing only a Hanley Ramirez infield single.
"It's funny, but on my official visit to BC, I played with him in a summer game before I went to BC and he was the loud energy guy out in center field screaming the whole game. It was pretty funny."
Asked if Frates was chirping from the bench while he was pitching Thursday, Doyle said, "Knowing him, he probably was. I was so locked in I couldn't hear anything."
Frates is still "screaming" for a cure as an ALS spokesman and trying to get insurance companies to pay for expensive drugs and surgeries that in many cases aren't covered. He will speak before the FDA in Washington Monday.
Anyone who has known a person afflicted with the disease understands the incredible emotional ordeal patients and their families go through.
"The main thing is to wake up every day and try to do something positive," Frates said. "This illness is negative by nature, so if I can counteract it by being a positive figure, it will help me in the long run."
He recently learned that an experimental drug he was on was deemed "ineffective" and its use stopped.
"That was kind of a bummer," said Frates. "But that's like our BC program — if there wasn't a bump in the road, then we'd be status quo, so we're not going to worry about it."
He is on a new drug that he says has helped with his speaking, breathing, and swallowing.
When he's not around BC baseball, he is spreading the word about ALS.
"I get seen by the doctor every three months," said Frates. "I go in and he says, 'You still have ALS.' I take my vitamin supplements, stay as active as I can, and try to keep my weight up.
"We're always looking for new treatments, and there's a lot of momentum out there. They hope to see this thing totally fixed in the next five to seven years. When someone really smart figures it out, I'll be very happy on that day."
His attitude is amazing. He never seems to get down, even as his body begins to show the ravages of the disease.Continued...

In July of 2009, six months into the Obama presidency, I was in Michigan for a family get together. My brother is a sport and target shooter, and while I was visiting him we went to one of central Michiganãs largest gun stores to buy ammunition so that we could go target shooting. When we got to the store, the owner said that he couldnãt sell me more than 50 rounds of ammunition, because the store was running low on ammo.
I asked why the store was running low on ammo, and his response was along the lines of ãbecause that N-word in the White House is taking all our guns away and people are stocking up.ã Dumbfounded by his response, I asked him how he knew that. He said that he had ãemailsã that proved the federal government was not only planning to take everyoneãs guns away, but that Obama was even planning on taking out people he didn't like.
This all took place 4 years ago. At that time, that government-hating gun store owner represented a fringe group in America. And, at the time, information about how the government was running out of control, way beyond the constraints the Founders put into the Constitution, was pretty much only available from fringe, far-right extremist sources.
Well friends, times have changed.
Now, the gun nuts who are stocking up on ammo and forming right-wing extremist hate groups have the Attorney General of the United States telling them that he and the President reserve the right to kill them if he thinks theyãre a threat.
Yes, you heard that right. Attorney General Eric Holder is not ruling out a scenario in which the President could order a drone strike against American citizens on U.S. soil.
His comments, released Tuesday, were prompted by questions raised over the nomination of John Brennan to head the CIA. Specifically, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky had asked whether the Obama administration had considered using its drone policy domestically.
In a letter to Sen. Paul dated on Monday, Holder said that it was conceivable, ãI suppose,ã to foresee an ãextraordinary circumstance in which it would be necessary and appropriateã under U.S. law for the President of the United States to authorize the military to use ãlethal forceã within the United States.
Responding to Holderãs comments, Sen. Paul issued a statement, in part saying, ãThe U.S. Attorney Generalãs refusal to rule out the possibility of drone strikes on American citizens and on American soil is more than frightening, it is an affront on the constitutional due process rights of all Americans.ã
For once, Sen. Paul is absolutely right.
Way back in June of 1878, during the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, Congress passed the Posse Comitatus Act. The intent of the Act, which was a distant grandson of the Insurrection Act of 1807, was to limit the powers of the federal government when it came to using federal military personnel to enforce state laws against Americans on American soil. The law was modified in 1981, to refer to the powers of the Armed Forces.
In 2006, the Bush Administration urged Congress to revoke Posse Comitatus, so that U.S. armed forces could restore public order and enforce laws in the aftermath of natural disasters, terrorist attacks or other ãconditionsã. Congress went along with President Bushãs request, and passed it as part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 2007
However, President Obama reinstated Posse Comitatus as part of the NDAA of 2012, but with the loophole that military personnel could still be used to detain ãA person who was a part of or substantially supported al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces.ã
That's a pretty damn large loophole. It's truly bizarre that we find ourselves, today, in a time in U.S history when the Executive branch of the federal government deems it plausible to consider killing American citizens on American soil, regardless of what the Constitution says. And, the Judicial branch, which the Constitution says is supposed to make all judicial and criminal punishment determinations, is losing its power to the Executive branch, while our rights to due process are fast becoming a distant memory.
And equally important, talk of tinfoil-hat conspiracies and an overreaching government is no longer just on right-wing fringe websites. It was easy to dismiss people like that gunshop guy when all he could quote was an email he got from ãsomebody.ã But today the assertion by the President of the United States that he might kill you with a drone is on the front page of The New York Times, and talked about throughout the mainstream media. A United States Senator ã Rand Paul ã held a talking filibuster on the topic today on the floor of the US Senate. Good luck telling the gunshop owner that he's crazy.
As a result, more and more Americans are starting to fear their government, which they perceive as being no longer constrained by the Constitution. Since fear is usually what drives hate, we're seeing more and more right-wing extremist hate groups.
In fact, according to a new study by the Southern Poverty Law Center, ãthe number of conspiracy-minded antigovernment ãPatriotã groups reached an all-time high of 1,360 in 2012ã and the number of hate groups has remained at ãnear record levelsã of more than 1,000.
Thereãs only one way to put an end to all of this fear, and to the hatred of the government that is sweeping our nation, and that's for us to return to our core values, the values on which this nation was founded.
From the birth of our nation to today, millions of Americans have fought and died for a specific set of values, that we used to abide by, and gave our lives to protect. These values included having a judicial branch that made all of the judicial decisions, and decided who lives and who dies based on transparent due process. These values included the US military never turning its guns on US citizens on US soil.
We must return to these values.
And to do that, we need to undo parts of the National Defense Authorization Act and the Patriot Act that give extrajudicial killing powers to the Executive branch.
America was once the ãland of the free and the home of the brave.ã Itãs time we became that once again.

Cross-posting the Collection to Wikimedia Commons and the Internet Archive
I've said it before and I'll say it again: it's simply not enough to publish assets on our own website—we cannot expect people to come to www.brooklynmuseum.org and we need to be reaching out to communities on the web to engage interest in our collections. With that, I'm happy to announce that we are now cross-posting our collections to Wikimedia Commons and the Internet Archive. This is something we'd been wanting to do for a long time, but in order to get here we needed to get through the recent rights project and the records release project. Now that those two key elements are in place, cross-posting made sense as the next logical step.
I should probably take an aside at this point and remind everyone that we've not always had great success working with the Wikipedia community. If you remember Wikipedia Loves Art and managed to get through all the blog posts including the four-part lessons learned, then you know just how complicated and painful that project was. However, the wiki community is one of the most vibrant on the web and, as a community-minded organization, we needed to regroup and figure out a better way of working with these folks—turning our backs and giving up was not an option. Let's look at how this is different.
One of the biggest issues with Wikipedia Loves Art was how much work it created for all involved—countless hours from volunteer photographers, hundreds of staff hours to clean up and caption submissions and even more hours from the wiki community to upload all the assets. This was a project that simply didn't scale. So, in this round, our aim was to keep this a collaborative process with much simpler information management. By cross-posting our assets using a programmable bot, we can get the information to the wiki community in a much more efficient way. Since the wiki is a living, breathing thing that constantly changes, one of the most important parts of this project is creating a second bot that will monitor the changes the wiki community makes to these records and show us how the records are used. Once we can get a grasp on these collective changes, we can think about ways to integrate that information back into our collection online—it's this second bot that creates a two-way exchange and allows us to collaborate more effectively with the wiki community. In addition, this second bot will also write metadata changes to the wiki, so our data does not get stale. This is a process that must be carefully choreographed so we don't overwrite community changes, but we think this delicate dance is one that we can learn an enormous amount from. All that said, the first bot has been created and is happily uploading assets as I write this. The second bot will follow shortly after we've gotten everything posted.
By contrast, posting to the Internet Archive was a much simpler process primarily because it's a one-way dump—they've got a clearly documented API and they have a very open structure to work with. It's a bit of a blank slate—you can create your own fields, which means you can apply rights information as needed. We are posting all of our "no known copyright" images there, as well as all images that we've licensed with CC-BY-NC. Wikipedia will be getting fewer assets because they don't accept Creative Commons licensing that restricts to non-commercial use and retaining commercial rights is still something that the Museum is interested in maintaining.
Posting to these two communities complements what we've been doing at The Commons on Flickr. Seb has an excellent blog detailing why The Commons on Flickr is fundamentally different in nature and these are all things that we agree with. Here's to hoping that bot number two helps to bridge some of that gap.

I live in decatur and have been going out to greenwood for years
I have always wanted to see the unusual mausoleum that I could see from above but never drove down to it
finally did yesterday and that is such a beautiful monument and as you know put back in the hill so I couldnt resist taking a picture
I have a copy of the greenwood cemetery book so it was easy for me to get the rest of the family
I have started a big task now because I also took pictures of some durfees (I went to durfee grade school) and wondered who it was named afer
I am up to 25 people with input and information
but its fun

Mary Vanderhoof
Hi! I am related to Mary Rhodes Vanderhoof. Have a question RE: the birth date. The tombstone looks as though it says she was 48 years old and died in 1864 which would put her birth date at about 1816. Am I reading the tombstone correctly? Thank you.

Hello Russ
Thank you for posting the burials of Nora A., Mary T., and Clara V. Selby in Riverside Cemetery. They were children of John W. Selby and Lucinda O. Conde. Lucinda was a distant cousin to me and finding photographs of her childrens graves is quite satisfying.
May I use these photos in my Ancesty Conde family site? Thank you very much.

Topic: Long Day's Journey into Night
Critically examine Mary's obsession with her past in Long Day's Journey into Night.
Please answer in detail.
2 Answers | add yours
Mary's obsession with her past is very much a function of her denial of the present. By living in the past, she is able to ignore the problems of the present: Edmund's illness, Tyrone's frugality, all three men's alcohol abuse, and her own morphine addiction.
Another aspect of Mary's obsession with her past is that it represents a time of innocence: a time when she she was contemplating a life in the convent, when she played the piano beautifully, when she was beautiful. But, then she married Tyrone and a series of events followed that slowly removed her innocence. She carries with her the guilt of Eugene's death, along with the conflicted she has over the birth of Edmond.

in addition of the above answer, although, she escaped from the present circumstances as described in the above answer, in her past before marriage life. she ruined her present , in forgetting her present , and living in past , she becomes the victim of lonliness.

Article ID: 834491 - View products that this article applies to. Bug#: 14194 (Plato7x) Microsoft distributes Microsoft SQL Server 2000 hotfixes as one downloadable file. Because the hotfixes are cumulative, each new release contains all the hotfixes and all the security fixes that were included with the previous SQL Server 2000 hotfix release. On This PageSYMPTOMSIn SQL Server 2000, when you use a weighted writeback formula in a Multidimensional Expressions (MDX) UPDATE CUBE statement, a small remainder may be left after the new value is allocated by using the specified formula. The remaining value is inserted in the writeback table for the last cell that is evaluated in the writeback set that the UPDATE CUBE statement specifies. If the last cell is NULL, the cell will still be updated with the remainder value. This behavior may cause records to be displayed for dimension members that were previously empty. Sometimes, the remainder value is so low that the client tool will display the value as zero (0). For example, the following MDX UPDATE CUBE statement sets the 1998, Forecast, and General & Administrative expenses for the state of California to a value of $750,000. The new value is allocated to the individual stores in California based on their contribution to the total Current Year's Actual Gross Sales for California in the previous year.

Is anyone else seeing this? The add/share link for event just starts the eight-fingered star slowly spinning with no result. The other links work w/no problems. I can also go to the event module and add an event. It is enabled for members to add events but I can not do as either NC or member via activity feed add/share link. I've tried this in IE8, Chrome, Firefox (latest stable releases) and Safari over the past 3-4 days. Put in a ticket ref:00D8cCLt.5004G9KKE:ref. Have you tried your add event link on activity feed with success?

It's to do with the jquery code for Slider
If you remove the jquery code for Slider from the Custom Code section and place it instead in the text box where you have inserted Slider.
In my case the particular code I removed from Custom Code and placed in text box is:
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.5.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">
Hi stephen,
This code is already in the text box, albeit a different jquery version.
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js" type="text/javascript">
and not in the custom code box.
I don't understand the connection between the two.
I had the same problem and just moved the code from Custom Code to the text box and it was cured.
Hey Stephan,
As I said in the other post, the script you said you had moved was already in place on my site, however I did find a piece of "orphaned" code that was the same type of script that I must have missed when I deleted some other code from my custom code box. I cut it and shortly thereafter the event module starting working as expected. I at first thought that Ning had found the solution but their response was that it seemed to be working for them (their investigation must have taken place the day after I removed the code). Anyhow removing that similar type of code must have done the trick. It didn't break anything else so all share/quick add modules are working.
Thanks for the tip!
I told the Ning tech about it so maybe it will help someone else down the line.
mine opens fine, James. are you referring to just opening it to start, or after you enter the data and save?
It does not open via the activity feed link-the other four open with "cut down" mini page to add items w/no problems. The event link starts the spinning star and goes no further. I can, like I said, go to the event module and the link to add event works and opens the full page. I thought maybe it was the network I'm on (my schools), but why do the others open?
very strange, James, good question. I'm not seeing this on my network, I hope you get it resolved soon though.
Well, it's fixed. I don't know if someone from Ning tweaked something or if the God of Glitches deigned to smile upon me. If it were someone from Ning-Thanks very much.

The Wildflowers of the Pacific Northwest
Return to TopWith its plentiful rainfall, the Pacific Northwest is a great garden for wild flowers. What botanists call The Pacific Forest is unique on the continent, and is known for its grand stands of large fir, spruce, hemlock, cedar and redwoods, plus a huge diversity of smaller native plants and flowers.
With comparatively mild temperatures year round, your region has its own distinct group of native wildflowers, and many of them are in our mixtures. Species such as Chinese Houses, the beautiful Clarkias (Clarkia amoena & Clarkia unguiculata) and many more are enjoyed both in their native range and in many other regions of the United States.
Our Proven Mixture of Wildflower Seeds for the Pacific Northwest is our best-seller, and our premium All-Native Wildflower Mix for the Northwest has even more native species. Either mix can be successfully planted in the Northwest in spring or fall.

Illinois has two convicted former governors as Rod Blagojevich [personal website; JURIST news archive] was convicted [JURIST report] on 17 of 20 counts including attempting to sell or trade the US Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama. Blagojevich had also tried to cite Skilling, but a district judge denied a request [JURIST report] to delay the trial. In 2008, Ryan issued his first public apology [JURIST report] for the crimes that resulted in his imprisonment. Ryan was sentenced in 2007 and jailed [JURIST reports] on corruption charges. Ryan's trial began in 2005, and, in 2006, a jury found him guilty [JURIST reports] on multiple counts of corruption and fraud [indictment, PDF] in connection with a bribes-for-licenses scandal that occurred during Ryan's term as Illinois Secretary of State. Ryan made national headlines and won praise in some quarters in January 2003 when, just before leaving office, he commuted the executions [BBC report] of all Illinois inmates then on death row.
In February the UK High Court ruled that The Pirate Bay planned to infringe copyrights [JURIST report] which allowed the plaintiffs to obtain this court order requiring ISPs to block the website. Earlier that month the Swedish Supreme Court [official website, in Swedish] declined to hear an appeal [JURIST report] of the convictions for copyright infringement of Fredrik Neji, Peter Sunde and Carl Lundstroem, the founders of The Pirate Bay. The three founders were initially convicted [JURIST report] in April 2009. Despite the convictions, the website remains operational.
AI has previously called on the UAE government [press release] to release these "prisoners of conscience" in compliance with international law. Last November, the UAE Federal Supreme Court sentenced five of the nine activists to prison [JURIST report] for participating in a campaign seeking political liberties. All five were charged under § 176 of the UAE Penal Code for publicly insulting UAE president Sheikh Khalifa Bin Zayed [official website] and other government officials, and were arrested in April 2011 after signing an online petition demanding political reforms. HRW has also been critical of the UAE for its recent treatment of political activists, and called for the trial's end [JURIST report] in July 2011 along with other rights groups. Additionally, HRW criticized UAE officials [press release] in April 2011 for their arrest of a political blogger, and also urged international public institutions [press release] in the country to condemn the government's detention of other rights activists.
Last June, a special Afghan court overturned the election results [JURIST report] of about 25 percent of the assembly seats due to poll fraud in the September 2010 parliamentary elections. The ruling came shrouded in controversy, however, as the court was established by President Hamid Karzai [official profile; JURIST news archive] and the decision ordered the IEC, a commission that does not recognize the legitimacy of the special court [AFP report], to disqualify legislators whose elections it deems invalid. The IEC defended itself against allegations of polling fraud [JURIST report] and more than 100 complaints filed by opposition candidate Abdullah Abdullah [WP report] in the wake of Afghanistan's presidential election in 2009. There, Abdullah claimed [JURIST report] that Karzai supporters stuffed ballots, inflated vote counts, and intimidated voters at the polls. Despite the defense, elections in Afghanistan remain marred by these widespread allegations of fraud.
Last week, the International Criminal Court (ICC) [official website] said they are monitoring the situation [JURIST report] for potential crimes under the ICC's jurisdiction. They noted that Mali has ratified the Rome Statute [text], which gives the ICC jurisdiction to prosecute war crimes and crimes against humanity that may have occurred since fighting began in January. The turmoil began when Taureg rebels attacked Malian soldiers [Al Jazeera report]. Many in the international community have expressed concern over the situation, including the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay and the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) [JURIST reports]. All of this has come after Malian soldiers took control of the government [JURIST report] and suspended the constitution in March.
Al Khawaja's appeal hearing was delayed last week after four independent human rights experts called for his immediate release [JURIST reports]. Earlier this month, Amnesty International reported that human rights violations continue [JURIST report] in Bahrain despite reported reforms. Al-Khawaja's lawyers and members of the Bahrain opposition appealed his conviction and UN experts' called for his release after international concern arose over his health due to repeated hunger strikes, which at that point had passed 50 days [JURIST reports]. Last May, Special Rapporteur on torture Juan Mendez [official profile] condemned the Bahraini government for failing to adhere to the Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners [text] regarding Al-Khawaja's physical and mental integrity. He was allegedly physically mistreated and perhaps tortured [JURIST report] while in custody, displaying visible physical signs of abuse at trial.
Petitioner Roselva Chaidez entered the US from Mexico in 1971 and became a lawful permanent resident in 1977. She was indicted in 2003 on three counts of mail fraud and pleaded guilty on the advice of counsel. The government initiated removal proceedings in 2009, and Chaidez appealed, claiming she would not have pleaded guilty if she had been aware that such a plea could result in deportation. Padilla was decided in March 2010 while Chaidez's motion was pending with the district court.
