Postdoctoral Opportunities
Postdoctoral Position in Myelin Biology
Fred Robinson Lab, Jungers Center
Oregon Health & Science University
Portland, Oregon USA
A postdoctoral fellow position is available in the laboratory of Dr. Fred Robinson in the Jungers Center for Neurosciences Research. The primary goal for this position is to enhance our understanding of phosphoinositide signaling and endosomal trafficking in myelinating Schwann cells, as the dysregulation of these processes causes hereditary peripheral neuropathy. Using novel genetic mouse models of demyelinating neuropathy, as well as an in vitro myelination assay, the successful candidate will pursue a cell biological investigation of how dysregulation of phosphoinositides leads to abnormal myelination. Toward this end, the successful candidate will employ biochemistry, molecular biology and advanced light microscopy.
Individuals with expertise in cell biology, signaling and neuroscience are especially encouraged to apply.Interested applicants should email their CV to email@example.com.
A postdoctoral position is available to dissect the neural circuitry mediating reinforcement learning and working memory. We are looking for candidates with extensive electrophysiology experience to join our group at the new Neuroscience Institute at Princeton University.

Position Open: Postdoctoral Fellow
Projects focus on:
Mechanisms underlying Neuronal Activity. Projects focus on themechanisms underlying neuronal activity using GnRH neurons in vitro and in vivo. In vivo, GnRH- neurons, spread throughout the forebrain, release GnRH-1 in a pulsatile fashion. In explants, primary GnRH neurons continue to release in a pulsatile fashion and show synchronized calcium oscillations. Projects utilize the GnRH system to study molecular and cellular properties of neuronal activity (individual cells and neuronal population dynamics) at different developmental, metabolic and/or reproductive states. Candidate with experience in calcium imaging and/or electrophysiology preferred but not mandatory.
Cell lineage, Neuronal Migration and Axonal Targeting. Projects focus on differentiation and migration of GnRH cells and olfactory axon out growth during development. Prenatally, GnRH neurons originate in the nasal region and migrate on olfactory axons into the brain. Current projects examine: 1) lineage of the GnRH cells, 2) intracellular signaling that controls cell movement and corresponding changes in cytoskeletal elements, and 3)combinatorial influence of guidance factors involved in migration of these cells into the forebrain; mechanisms common to neuronal migration as well as mechanisms specific to the GnRH system.
Laboratory uses multidisciplinary approaches: cre/lox mice, transgenic lines, imaging, nasal explants, video microscopy, calcium imaging, electrophysiology, immunocytochemistry, in situ histochemistry, single-cellPCR, and subtractive cDNA screening.
Candidates should have training in one of the following:Neurobiology, Developmental biology, Neuroendocrinology or Molecular biology.

Dimmu Borgir is –
Vocal – Shagrath
Guitar – Silenoz
Guitar – Galder
Bass – Vortex
Keyboard – Mustis
Drums – Nicholas Barker
Dimmu Borgir was formed in 1993 by Shagrath and Galder and have not cease to amaze and dazzle fans since then. Dimmu Borgir has yet produced another symphonic metal masterpiece. This time they brought in a 48 piece orchestra from Prague, which includes a full brass section. This new cd features fantastic production, different from many other black metal bands. But there is the contreversy: Does poor production classify you in the black metal subgenre? I didn't think so. These guys are as black as it gets, and their musicianship proves it. Shagrath's voice has improved much, and is more demonic and evil than ever before. I think this cd show's off his best vocals. A downfall is that Vortex's clean singing isn't as exposed on this cd as it is on their previous cd's. When it is sung though, ex: "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse", it is as hauntingly mesmerizing as ever.
"DCA's" songs are also "musically round" on this album, kudos to the orchestra. "Allegiance" starts the cd off with sort of a march like song. It's not like other two minute intros cd's usually have but is a full song instead. "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" is the best song on this album. The intro is filled with breakdown guitars and the orchestra filling it up in the background. "Leper's Among Us" has an intro like I've never seen Dimmu use before, but Galder plays it off well. The most appealing tracks to me are:
"Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" – (love the brass section)
"Vredesbyrd" – (awesome chorus breakdown)
"Blood Hunger Doctine" – (if you listen close, you can hear the French Horns pull off a vibrato in the middle of the song)
"Cataclysm Children" – (awesome rythym once Shagrath starts singing)
Basically, this cd contains "lightening fast demonically possessed" drumming by Nick, wicked vocal solos by Vortex, and intense throat thlash singing by Shagrath. These guys are seriously musically talented, and should be more worldly known.
This is a definite MUST HAVE cd by Dimmu Borgir. PICK IT UP, YOU WON"T REGRET IT!!!!

Balmy nights may flirt with records this weekend
By John Nelander
Another round of record warm nights may be on the way this weekend as winds shift to the southeast, bringing balmy air off the warm Atlantic.
The record warm minimum temperature at the Palm Beach airport on Saturday morning is 73 set in 2006, and the forecast low is 73. On Sunday, the record warm low is 74, and the forecast low is 74. Temperatures could be a degree or two warmer than that on the island.
Highs will be in the low- to mid-80s, all-in-all making for a median temperature that is 10 to 15 degrees above average for this time of the year.
A cold front that moves into North Florida on Monday may not even make it to South Florida, National Weather Service forecasters said, since a ridge of high pressure parked over Miami that will likely keep the front to our north, or at least weaken it. The expected high on Monday is 81 in Palm Beach, with only slightly cooler weather for Christmas Eve day, probably upper 70s.
The dry air currently over the peninsula is making for some impress relative humidity numbers. Humidity was only in the 30 percent range out in the Glades and toward the peninsula's West Coast today. It was 57 percent this morning at Palm Beach International Airport after falling to as low as 47 percent overnight.
There was a bit more moisture in the air on Palm Beach, where the humidity was 64 percent this morning. The warm-up, and higher humidity levels, move in Thursday night and Friday.
* * *
Global temperatures on land and sea combined were the warmest ever during the 132 years of record keeping, NOAA's National Climatic Data Center reported. Temperatures came in at 1.40 degrees Fahrenheit above the 20th century average of 55.2 degrees.
Land temperatures were 1.43 degrees above average, making it the second warmest November on record behind 2010. Ocean 0.97 of a degree above average, making it the third warmest November for sea surface temperatures, tied with 2009.
From January to November, combined land and sea temperatures were 57.2 degrees, tying with 2002 for the fourth warmest January – November period.
North America was actually cooler than average in November, as was northern Australia and southwest Greenland. Russia had its warmest month since records began in 1891, according to Jeff Masters at Weather Underground.

SPRINGFIELD TWP., Ohio - As 21 News was the first to report Sunday night, missing attorney Jon Schoenike has been found alive and safe.
Schoenike has been reunited with his family in Wisconsin after he was reported missing from the Mahoning Valley three days ago.
His wife Lynn Maro Schoenike has issued a statement saying: "First and foremost, Jon Schoenike has been found and he is safe. He was not ok when he was located, and is in need of medical attention. The exact nature and extent of the medical issues continue to be explored, though it appears that they contributed to his disappearance."
For the family and the community their prayers have been answered.
Schoenike, who is also vice-president of the Springfield School Board, vanished without a trace on Friday morning.
The Springfield Township man's vehicle was found in a parking lot of the Boardman Tennis and Swim Club, just a stone's throw away from his law office. The keys were inside the vehicle along with his cell phone.
After days of searching, and just as a church vigil began on Sunday evening, his wife received the call she had been praying for, according to Springfield Township Police Chief Matthew Mohn.
"She didn't know who the phone call was from at first when the phone was handed to her. And I heard her say 'Jon is that you? Are you ok?'" Mohn says.
Schoenike was calling from Forest County in Wisconsin, the state where he grew up and where authorities ultimately found him, more than 700 miles away.
In the statement released by the family his wife told him by telephone, "Everyone was praying for him, Jon said that he had heard the prayers."
His family boarded a plane first thing Monday morning to be reunited with him.
What's unclear is how Schoenike ended up in Wisconsin.
Jon Schoenike's long-time friend Attorney John Juhasz said, "I think everybody wants to know the how's and the why's, and all that stuff. But when you've spent 3 days just trying to find somebody, the first questions are, 'are you ok?' and 'where are you so we can come and get you?'"
As the family begins to learn the answers to their questions, they are still overwhelmed by the outpouring of friends, strangers and law enforcement officials who stood by their side during this most difficult time.
Juhasz says Schoenike's wife Lynn spoke highly of the hundreds of community members that gave their time offering prayers, support and assisting in the search.
"She was choked up just telling me how appreciative she was," said Juhasz.
The family, including the couple's daughters Katelyn and Audrey, want to thank:

AS Roma will have started the season better than any other side in Serie A history if they pick up a win on Thursday. It would mean they'd won every single one of their opening ten games of the campaign, leaving them in a commanding position at the top of the table. Given that they're facing bottom side Chievo Verona, they really ought to smash the record in style.
Despite the solid appointment of Giuseppe Sannino in the summer, the Flying Donkeys have had a disastrously bad start to the campaign. They've picked up just four points from their opening nine games, and are currently enduring a five game losing streak. Despite stereotypically being one of Serie A's most stubborn sides, they've looked worryingly fragile.
For this match, Roma will be without striker Mattia Destro, defender Maicon and, most significantly, captain Francesco Totti. Winger Gervinho will have to pass a late fitness test if he's going to be involved. As for Chievo, they have midfielder Adrián Calello and veteran defender Boštjan Cesar unavailable through injury and suspension respectively.
AS Roma injuries and suspensions
Out: Mattia Destro, Francesco Totti (injured); Maicon (suspended). In doubt: Gervinho.
Chievo Verona injuries and suspensions
Out: Adrián Calello (injured); Boštjan Cesar (suspended). In doubt: None.
Projected lineups
AS Roma: Morgan De Sanctis; Federico Balzaretti, Leandro Castán, Mehdi Benatia, Vasilis Torosidis; Kevin Strootman, Daniele De Rossi, Miralem Pjanić; Adem Ljajić, Marco Borriello, Alessandro Florenzi.
Chievo Verona: Christian Puggioni; Paul Papp, Claiton dos Santos, Nicolas Frey; Boukary Dramé, Ivan Radovanović, Luca Rigoni, Simone Bentivoglio, Gennaro Sardo; Cyril Théréau, Alberto Paloschi.

Dec. 13 --A $50,660 debt that a Chapter 7 debtor wife owed to her ex-husband for overpayment of spousal support is nondischargeable under Bankruptcy Code Section 523(a)(15) because the wife incurred the debt "in connection with a separation agreement," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit held Dec. 9 (Taylor v. Taylor (In re Taylor), 2013 BL 339882, 10th Cir., No. 12-2163, 12/9/13).
Affirming the bankruptcy court's ruling, Chief Judge Mary Beck Briscoe concluded that the ex-husband's claim is nondischargeable as a "domestic support obligation" under Section 523(a)(5).
The court also affirmed the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel of the Tenth Circuit's ruling that the ex-husband was not entitled to attorneys' fees because neither the BAP nor the bankruptcy court had authority to award attorneys' fees under the marital separation agreement's (MSA) fee-shifting agreement.
The court determined that the overpayment debt does not qualify as a domestic support obligation under Section 523(a)(5). Under the plain language of the statute, the court said, the debt must be "in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support (including assistance provided by a governmental unit) of such spouse." Looking at the ordinary meaning of "such," the court concluded that the debt must be in the nature of support to the creditor-spouse, or in this case, in support for the debtor's ex-husband.
According to the appeals court, under Section 523(a)(15)'s plain and unambiguous language, the overpayment debt qualifies as a nondischargeable debt. The debt arose as a result of a judgment against a spouse in favor of her former spouse by the state court "in connection with a separation agreement or divorce decree," the court said. The state court entered the overpayment judgment after retaining jurisdiction to modify the amount of the ex-husband's spousal support obligation to the debtor, the court said.
Debtor Eloisa Maria Taylor and her ex-husband Matthew Taylor were married in 1988, and divorced in 2005. They entered into a MSA, and a Virginia state court entered a final decree of divorce Sept. 22, 2005, which incorporated the MSA. As part of the decree, the court ordered the ex-husband to pay $2,500 per month to the debtor as spousal support and to continue until "the death of either party, or the remarriage of [Eloisa], or after ten years of payments, whichever event first occurred."
In 2009, Matthew Taylor moved to terminate spousal support because Eloisa had been living with a man for the past two years and they were in a marriage-like relationship. He argued that her cohabitation should result in the termination of his spousal support obligation under the divorce decree under Va. Code § 20-109.
The state court agreed with Matthew and retroactively terminated his spousal support obligation, ordering the debtor to repay $40,660 in overpaid spousal support payments, plus $10,000 for Matthew's attorneys' fees incurred to prosecute the motion for termination. The court entered a judgment against the debtor for $50,660.
The debtor filed for Chapter 7 protection in 2010. Her ex-husband objected to the dischargeability of the $50,660 judgment and initiated an adversary proceeding.
The bankruptcy court found that the overpayment debt fell within the plain language of Section 523(a)(15), and the legislative history also supported a conclusion that the overpayment was nondischargeable. Thus, the court granted Matthew's motion for summary judgment and denied the debtor's motion for summary judgment. The court did not address Matthew's claim that he was entitled to attorneys' fees incurred while pursuing the bankruptcy adversary complaint.
Both parties appealed to the BAP. The BAP affirmed the bankruptcy court's ruling that the overpayment debt was not a "domestic support obligation" under Section 523(a)(5), and did not qualify for an exception from discharge under Section 523(a)(15).
The BAP also ruled that neither it nor the bankruptcy court had the authority to award attorneys' fees under the MSA's fee-shifting agreement.
The debtor appealed the bankruptcy court's summary judgment ruling to the Tenth Circuit, and Matthew cross-appealed the bankruptcy court's dismissal of his Section 523(a)(5) claim and the BAP's ruling on attorneys' fees.
Two provisions of the Bankruptcy Code except from discharge debts arising out of obligations to the family: Section 523(a)(5) excepts from discharge any domestic support obligation as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and Section 523(a)(15) excepts from discharge obligations arising in connection with a divorce proceeding or settlement agreement, the appeals court said. These provisions, the court said, reflect the congressional preference for the rights of spouses to alimony, maintenance, or support over the rights of debtors to a "fresh start" free of debts.
A domestic support obligation, the court said, is defined in Section 101(14A) and now explicitly includes support obligations that accrue post-petition, and the order, agreement, or determination creating the obligation can now be either pre- or post-petition. "Assistance provided by a governmental unit" is also now expressly included in the definition, the court said.
According to the appeals court, when determining whether an obligation is in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support, the court conducts a "dual inquiry" looking first to the intent of the parties at the time they entered into their agreements, and then to the substance of the obligation. As the party seeking to hold the debt nondischargeable, Matthew has the burden of establishing by a preponderance of the evidence that the parties intended the debt to be in the nature of support and that the obligation was in substance support, the court said.
According to the court, there are four requirements for a domestic support obligation: (1) the debt must be owed to either a "spouse, former spouse, or child of the debtor," which is listed under subpart (i) or a "governmental unit," which is listed under subpart (ii); (2) the "nature" of the debt must be "alimony, maintenance, or support (including assistance provided by a governmental unit) of such spouse, former spouse, or child of the debtor … without regard to whether such debt is expressly so designated;" (3) the debt must arise from the separation agreement, divorce decree or property settlement agreement; and (4) the debt must not have been assigned to a nongovernmental entity, unless for collection purposes. The only one at issue in this case is whether the debt meets the second requirement that it be in the nature of support, the court said.
Under the plain language of the statute, the court said, the debt must be "in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support (including assistance provided by a governmental unit) of such spouse." Looking at the ordinary meaning of "such," the court concluded that the debt must be in the nature of support to the creditor-spouse, or in this case, in support for Matthew.
The appeals court rejected Matthew's argument that the plain language of the statute needs some analysis, concluding that he alleged no facts to support his contention that the nature of the overpayment debt was actually for his support. Thus, the bankruptcy court did not err by dismissing his Section 523(a)(5) claim, the court said. The overpayment debt does not qualify as a domestic support obligation, the court said.
Under Section 523(a)(15)'s plain and unambiguous language, the court said, the overpayment debt qualifies as a nondischargeable debt. The debt arose as a result of a judgment against a spouse in favor of her former spouse by the state court "in connection with a separation agreement or divorce decree, the court said. The state court entered the overpayment judgment after retaining jurisdiction to modify the amount of Matthew's spousal support obligation to the debtor, the court said. Thus, under the plain language of the statute, the overpayment judgment is nondischargeable debt, the court said.
The debtor argued that Section 523(a)(15) was enacted to protect the dependent spouse, and that the plain language of the statute should be applied in that context. According to the debtor, if the debt is not dischargeable, she will be "left in the lurch" because her wages will be garnished for decades in order to satisfy the overpayment judgment. The debtor invoked the "absurdity doctrine," which applies to unambiguous statutes "as a means to avoid applying the unequivocal language of a statute."
The appeals court rejected the debtor's argument, concluding that there is no indication that congressional concern extended to the protection of a debtor-dependent spouse who may be responsible for repayment of wrongfully paid spousal support. "It is not unthinkable that Congress would place importance on all marital obligations, regardless of whether the debt was owed to or by the dependent spouse--even above the need for the debtor's fresh start," the court said.
Matthew also appealed the BAP's ruling that neither it, nor the bankruptcy court, had authority under the MSA to award Matthew attorneys' fees incurred pursuing the adversary proceeding. After reviewing the provision in the MSA, the appeals court concluded that the BAP's ruling on this issue is clearly correct.
Judges Stephanie K. Seymour and Carlos F. Lucero joined the opinion.
Karl F. Kalm of Kalm Law Firm, P.C., Albuquerque, N.M., represented the debtor/appellant. Bonnie B. Gandarilla and George M. Moore of Moore, Berkson & Gandarilla, P.C., Albuquerque, N.M., represented Matthew E. Taylor/appellee.

One species of pine, the Aleppo pine Pinus halepensis, is indigenous to Israel. Other species of the same genus have been planted in the afforestation of modern Israel and as ornamental trees, among them the stone pine, Pinus pinea. The modern Hebrew name for the pine is oren, but this biblical name relates to a different species, the *bay tree. The Aleppo pine is one of the most beautiful forest trees of Israel. Only a few groves of it remain at the present day because it was felled for use as building material. Among the natural groves of this species is the Masrek ("comb") at Bet Meir in the Judean hills, so called because its high trunks, conspicuous on the horizon, look like a comb. The Aleppo pine was adopted as the most important forest tree of Israel, tens of thousands of acres being planted with it, because of its rapid growth, beauty, and abundant shade, as well as for its ability to grow on rocky ground. It is the eẓ shemen ("oil tree") of the Bible, as it is still called (in Aramaic) by the Jews of Kurdistan, and is so called because
The stone pine, though not indigenous to Israel, is grown as an ornamental tree and for its edible and tasty nuts. These nuts are called iẓtrubalin in the Mishnah, which states that they may not be sold to idolators on their festivals (Av. Zar. 1:5). They are liable to tithes (TJ, Ma'as. 1:2, 48d). In the view of *Saadiah Gaon the stone pine is the tirzah (JPS ilex; A.V. cypress) of Isaiah 44:14, mentioned as being used both for making idols and for firewood.
