The crystal structure of BRCA1 BRCT in complex with a minimal recognition tetrapeptide with an amidated C-terminus
The tandem BRCT domains of BRCA1 and MDC1 facilitate protein signaling at DNA damage foci through specific interactions with serine-phosphorylated protein partners. The MDC1 BRCT binds pSer-Gln-Glu-Tyr-COO(-) at the C terminus of the histone variant gammaH2AX via direct recognition of the C-terminal carboxylate, while BRCA1 recognizes pSer-X-X-Phe motifs either at C-terminal or internal sites within target proteins. Using fluorescence polarization binding assays, we show that while both BRCTs prefer a free main chain carboxylate at the +3 position, this preference is much more pronounced in MDC1. Crystal structures of BRCA1 and MDC1 bound to tetrapeptide substrates reveal differences in the environment of conserved arginines (Arg1699 in BRCA1 and Arg1933 in MDC1) that determine the relative affinity for peptides with -COO(-) versus -CO-NH(2) termini. A mutation in MDC1 that induces a more BRCA1-like conformation relaxes the binding specificity, allowing the mutant to bind phosphopeptides lacking a -COO(-) terminus.

[BRCA1_HUMAN] Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to breast cancer (BC) [MIM:114480]. A common malignancy originating from breast epithelial tissue. Breast neoplasms can be distinguished by their histologic pattern. Invasive ductal carcinoma is by far the most common type. Breast cancer is etiologically and genetically heterogeneous. Important genetic factors have been indicated by familial occurrence and bilateral involvement. Mutations at more than one locus can be involved in different families or even in the same case. Note=Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for 45% of inherited breast cancer. Moreover, BRCA1 carriers have a 4-fold increased risk of colon cancer, whereas male carriers face a 3-fold increased risk of prostate cancer. Cells lacking BRCA1 show defects in DNA repair by homologous recombination.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18] Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to familial breast-ovarian cancer type 1 (BROVCA1) [MIM:604370]. A condition associated with familial predisposition to cancer of the breast and ovaries. Characteristic features in affected families are an early age of onset of breast cancer (often before age 50), increased chance of bilateral cancers (cancer that develop in both breasts, or both ovaries, independently), frequent occurrence of breast cancer among men, increased incidence of tumors of other specific organs, such as the prostate. Note=Mutations in BRCA1 are thought to be responsible for more than 80% of inherited breast-ovarian cancer. Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to ovarian cancer (OC) [MIM:167000]. The term ovarian cancer defines malignancies originating from ovarian tissue. Although many histologic types of ovarian tumors have been described, epithelial ovarian carcinoma is the most common form. Ovarian cancers are often asymptomatic and the recognized signs and symptoms, even of late-stage disease, are vague. Consequently, most patients are diagnosed with advanced disease. Defects in BRCA1 are a cause of susceptibility to pancreatic cancer type 4 (PNCA4) [MIM:614320]. A malignant neoplasm of the pancreas. Tumors can arise from both the exocrine and endocrine portions of the pancreas, but 95% of them develop from the exocrine portion, including the ductal epithelium, acinar cells, connective tissue, and lymphatic tissue.
[BRCA1_HUMAN] E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that specifically mediates the formation of 'Lys-6'-linked polyubiquitin chains and plays a central role in DNA repair by facilitating cellular responses to DNA damage. It is unclear whether it also mediates the formation of other types of polyubiquitin chains. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity is required for its tumor suppressor function. The BRCA1-BARD1 heterodimer coordinates a diverse range of cellular pathways such as DNA damage repair, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation to maintain genomic stability. Regulates centrosomal microtubule nucleation. Required for normal cell cycle progression from G2 to mitosis. Required for appropriate cell cycle arrests after ionizing irradiation in both the S-phase and the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Involved in transcriptional regulation of P21 in response to DNA damage. Required for FANCD2 targeting to sites of DNA damage. May function as a transcriptional regulator. Inhibits lipid synthesis by binding to inactive phosphorylated ACACA and preventing its dephosphorylation. Contributes to homologous recombination repair (HRR) via its direct interaction with PALB2, fine-tunes recombinational repair partly through its modulatory role in the PALB2-dependent loading of BRCA2-RAD51 repair machinery at DNA breaks. Component of the BRCA1-RBBP8 complex which regulates CHEK1 activation and controls cell cycle G2/M checkpoints on DNA damage via BRCA1-mediated ubiquitination of RBBP8.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33]

The decision by the Baseball Writers' Association of America obviously has a direct impact on Cooperstown. Each summer, thousands of people visit the Hall of Fame to watch the inductions take place. This year, fans may balk at the idea. Our Cara Thomas spoke with Hall of Fame officials about the reaction there.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- When residents in Cooperstown heard the news that no one had been elected for the baseball hall of fame this year, they were disappointed. Not only as baseball fans, but as business owners.
"I mean it's a baseball fan's dream," one person said.
The summer months in Cooperstown are booming. Tourists come from across the country to see the Baseball Hall of Fame. And their busiest time is induction weekend.
"Today we've probably had a dozen people come into the store whereas in the summer, we obviously have hundreds of people going through the store on any given hour," said Van Russo, owner of Mickey's Place.
But this year might be a little different. For the eighth time in history, no one has been elected by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Nominees needed 75 percent of the votes to be elected, but even with 569 ballots cast, none of the 37 hopefuls made the cut.
"It's tough for three out of four people to agree on anything. Let alone election to the greatest sports shrine in the world," said Hall of Fame Spokesperson Craig Mudder.
And this news isn't just disappointing for baseball fans that may have been rooting for a particular player. But not having any 'big name' inductions may have an effect on some Cooperstown businesses.
"As far as our business, I think we'll be fine. We have a pretty steady local following, but it's definitely going to hurt everyone in town," said Phillip Andrews of Nicoletta's Italian Café.
Local business owners say the people that might be impacted the most are seasonal stores and hotels. They say out of the 20 or so baseball stores in Cooperstown, only two or three remain open all year round.
Russo said, "So if you're relying on 100 days of revenue, you would be nervous 'cause you've suddenly lost the three good days of that one weekend."
Now there will still be an induction event this year. Three baseball players elected by the Pre Integration Era Committee will be inducted. And current Hall of Fame members will also be present. But local businesses say without a huge fan base being attracted to the area, Hall of Fame weekend just won't be the same.
This year's induction ceremony will be held on July 28th.

I'll give it a shot I guess. exeon.770
finished the protoss one last night but didnt get a chance to uplaod it it or put it on my memory stick so ill have to do it when im home in like 8 hours.
i think the protoss one may be my favourite so far, although there really was no where to put the protoss logo without tuining it :P
loving the new sign ups, we're getting a big haul this time round :P
maybe if some of the new peopel and lurkers end up stickin around we might one day warrent our own SCII sub-forum
29 sign ups so far
3 more woudl make a nice 32 which is e-z numbers wise :P

Sign me up!
Sign me up please :]
I went ahead and made a custom SC2 Ranks division for us.
Rakinishu, Eradin your profile was bugged and since there are multiple people with the same name, I'm not sure which is yours. Can you guys post a link to your sc2ranks page and I will update the roster with the correct profile.
all done now :P
Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz
NVM, It's there. I just assumed it wasn't mine since there were no recorded losses (which is totally wrong). Forgot Bliz isn't showing losses for this season.
Link is up
so sick, thanks illidra, and newborn!
wow, so we broke past the 32 player mark already. We'll have to see how far down we want this thing to go, if we get close to 64 and if it doesn't seem too crazy to work out on the tournament brackets we'll go with that, but if it doesn't get much past 32, we'll have to prioritize players based on previous attendance, donor preferences, and then finally date of sign up to cut it back down to 32. For now go ahead and keep signing up and we'll see how it all works out. Thanks for your interest everyone!
if you get too high numbers i dont mind bowin out kaze, mainly due to the scheduling from eu to na
Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz
Like I said, we'll see how many more players sign up for this and we'll make our move from there.
Custom ladder updated. Eradin is the only profile I'm missing now.
Im only a gold level player but should be fun.
dont worry about it analysis we have a spread from brozne to masters in this.
tbh i personally hate playing bronzers more than higher levels because they normally dont use set build orders or strategys and trying to read their play is like trying to predict a monkey with adhd.
Watch me play SC2 ladder and enjoy the lolz

Auto Extremist advocates for Corvette as brand with multiple models [w/poll]
by Zach Bowman (RSS feed) on Jan 25th, 2013 at 7:15PM
The 2014 Chevrolet Corvette really grinds Peter De Lorenzo's gears. Or, more accurately, the self-anointed Auto Extremist has an issue with what he sees as mismanagement of the legendary sports car by General Motors executives. In a new editorial on his website, De Lorenzo argues it's time to split Corvette off from Chevrolet to create an all-new brand, complete with a model range with at least three new takes on the sports car. Capable of fully leveraging the successes of the Corvette Racing program and brandishing the full might of GM's technical prowess, the Corvette brand would... Read More

Would be happy to recommend. Silent and Reliable By John on 5/31/2011 John would recommend this product to a friend I have used Eheim pumps in many different applicaitons and you will not find a quieter or more reliable pump. Another great example of you get what you pay for. Highly recommend By jason on 4/27/2011 jason would recommend this product to a friend Using as return pump on a 220 gal "Herbie" system and have been very pleased. Performance is great but my major concern was finding a quiet, quality pump. With a small amount of padding to reduce vibration in sump....it is near silent with only a very low hum audible. Cheaper pumps available but performance makes this a better value. Best in Class By Shane on 1/8/2011 Shane would recommend this product to a friend I just start using as 1262 as my return pump - it is powerful and quiet - really nice piece of engineering. great By beckbrass on 12/23/2010 beckbrass would recommend this product to a friend I have had it for a few months and am very happy. I had a mag before and seems to put out less heat and not much noise. I am very happy and will purchase more eheim pumps if I need them. Excellent pump By Howard on 12/16/2010 Howard would recommend this product to a friend This pump has been in my sump now for 6 months. No problems, quiet and easy to do maintenance. Great Pump By craig on 12/13/2010 craig would recommend this product to a friend I have an Eheim 1262 900GPH model. The flow rate is just as rated, the reliability, start-up, and fitting options are very nice. The best part of this pump is it is virtually silent and vibration is very minimal for this class of pump. Yes, its very expensive, but I feel the cost is very justifiable.

WASHINGTON - Drivers can go a little faster on the Intercounty Connector starting March 29.
The speed limit will change from 55 miles per hour to 60 miles per hour in both directions.
Signs will be changed March 29 in the westbound MD 200 lanes and on March 30 in the eastbound lanes, weather permitting, according to a Maryland Transportation Authority news release.
"We needed one year of ICC operations and full consideration of the design speed and geometry of the roadway to ensure that a 60 mph speed limit is safe and justifiable," MDTA Executive Secretary Harold M. Bartlett said in the release.
Traffic engineers analyzed crash data from the ICC's first year between I-270 and I- 95 to determine the speed limit could be raised safely.

5/12 in Yankee History
The red-letter day -
1925: Yogi Berra is born. Happy birthday to a national treasure!
On other 12ths of May…
2009: Chien-Ming Wang, who has been struggling ever since coming back from a baserunning foot injury in '08, is sent from the Yanks to AAA Scranton-Wilkes Barre to try to build some arm strength in the minors.
2002: The Yankees top Minnesota on Mother's Day' 10-4' giving Joe Torre his 1'500th career win as manager.
2001: The Yankees extend their hard-to-say major league record of 15 straight wins since the start of a season over teams with a below .500 record. They beat the Orioles' 8-5' on Derek Jeter's 3-run HR in the 8th. David Justice and Bernie Williams also homer for NY.
1996: The Yankees fall behind 8-0 to the White Sox at Comiskey Park, and then make it all the way back to win, 9-8. The comeback is completed by a 5- run Yankee 6th, keyed by 2-run doubles from Paul O'Neill and Joe Girardi.
1982: The Yankees send infielder Larry Milbourne, along with minor leaguers John Pacella and Pete Filson, to the Twins in exchange for catcher Butch Wynegar and pitcher Roger Erickson and cash. The Twins' frugal owner' Calvin Griffith' is roundly criticized for the deals' in which he appears to be unloading high-salaried veterans at the expense of a winning ball club.
1962: Mickey Mantle goes 3-for-3 with 3 runs scored and a homer to pace New York to a 9-6 victory at Cleveland.
1961: In the 8th inning at the Stadium' Tiger player Rocky Colavito goes into the stands behind third base after a drunken fan who has been heckling the outfielder's wife and father. Colavito is ejected' but the Tigers win in the 9th on pitcher Frank Lary's home run. For Lary' it is his 25th win over the Yankees against just 8 losses.
1959: At the Stadium' Yogi Berra's errorless streak of 148 games comes to an end when he makes an error in the 5th inning, throwing wild as he attempts to gun down Minnie Minoso stealing. Berra also homers' as do Elston Howard and Mickey Mantle' but New York lose 7-6 to the first-place Indians.
1953: Whitey Ford allows only rival pitcher Early Wynn's infield single in the 6th in beating the Indians 7-0. The Yanks increase their lead to 2 games over the 2nd-place Tribe.
1946: A crowd of 69'401' the largest in Stadium history' watch the Yankees give the Red Sox 2 unearned runs and manage just 3 hits off Mickey Harris' and lose to Boston' 3-1. The Sox get just 3 hits off loser Spud Chandler.
Mickey Harris with Ted Williams and Rudy York before the game.
1940: Behind the six-hit pitching of Red Ruffing' the Yankees beat the Bosox' 4-0' and stop New York's 8-game losing skid. New York (7-14) are still in last place while Boston (16-6) sit atop the AL.
1935: Felipe Alou, who played at first base and in the outfield for the Yankees in the early '70s, is born. Happy 77th, F.A.!
1933: The Yankees sell pitcher George Pipgras and rookie shortstop Bill Werber to the Red Sox for $100,000.
1930: The Yankees waive pitcher Tom Zachary to the Boston Braves.
1919: After a scoreless 12-inning game the day before' the Yankees and Senators complete 27 innings of action with no decision' going 15 innings in a 4-4 draw. Yankee lead off hitter George Halas goes hitless for the second day in a row and ends his Major League career with just 22 at bats. He will decide to start the NFL instead.
1915: Yankee outfielder Roy Hartzell hits into a triple play, but his mates top the Indians anyway, 4-2.
1911: Playing against the Yankees at Detroit, Ty Cobb scores a run from first on a short single to right' scores from second on a wild pitch' then doubles home two runs in the 7th to tie the game. When New York catcher Ed Sweeney vehemently argues the call at the plate' the rest of the infield gathers' leaving Cobb untended at second. With no time out having been called' Cobb strolls to third base' and then ambles down the line to observe the continuing argument. When he spots an opening in the circle of players' he quickly slides in with what will prove to be the winning run. The Tigers take the game 6-5.
1897: Joe Dugan, third baseman for the Murderers' Row Yankees, is born.

Satan's Logo
Brand Logo Option 1.
Nothing helps me to get into the creative zone and focus more then listening to something while I work. Be it music, audio books or as is the case this past weekend a cool lecture by biblical scholar Michael S. Heiser. He went in depth regarding ancient Semitic Languages and dissected some very controversial verses in the Old Testament. The guy is amazing and has a pretty good sense of humor too.
His topics are what I like to call "X File Bible Studies." The one I listened too was all about demonic hybrids and how what happened in Genesis 6 will happen again in the "End Times." And if you thought that was fringe, he was presenting this topic at a national UFO convention. LOL
BTW: If you're not familiar with the finer points of Biblical Prophecy don't sweat it, you can get a good Cliff Notes version in YouTube form here. Or if you want a good book on the subject that spells it out verse by verse then be sure to read this.
Well needless to say it got my mind churning. I started thinking about the dark lords master plan in the future. And regardless of your theological comprehension you no doubt have seen enough references over the years via movies and books to know that the number "666" is related to the prince of darkness. In fact the Bible has this to say about it.
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.
This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666." - Revelation 13:18
But that said not all Christians view such verses as future events. Some think it all happened in AD 70? (This is called the preterist view) Anyway I'll get to the point of this post before I put you to sleep.
Brand Logo Option 2.
The Bible talks about a future world leader who will step upon the stage of human history and will woo the world to his brand of leadership, politics, spiritualism and set forth an agenda for a new world vision. You've probably heard him referred to as "The Antichrist."
Many times I've thought about this whole subject, but this time was very different. I pictured the number "666" in my minds eye and couldn't help but think to myself from a graphic design and marketing point of view.
"How would Satan and his minion sell this brand if it's a literal mark containing the number 666?"
Hollywood and centuries of viral marketing have already tainted the equity. Even a person who would never consider themselves a "Bible Believer" would probably pass on getting "666" applied to their hand or forehead.
Being a creatively curious person I decided to spend half an hour and see if I could create a brand logo for Satan. (After all he'll more then likely hire a brand agency to do this in the future.) I realized I needed coherent rationale before I started and this is what I came up with.
Design Rationale
- "666" has to be in the logo.
- A brand name has to be developed. (Think "Zoloft", "Viagra" or "Crestor.")
- Must use "Red". (Satan owns this color. Sorry "Target" and "Coke.")
- Spend no more then 30 minutes on it. (Have work to do.)
- Approach it like a corporate client.
- No cliches. (Think "Devil Horns" and "Trident.")
The above was the two options I came up with. The hardest part was the new brand name actually. After all we are talking about the master deceiver in all history here so his true nefarious tendencies need to be cloaked in a thin veneer of corporate benevolence.
Anyway it entertained me if only for a few minutes during this horizontal hold and I thought it would make for a fun post. Enjoy.
Building equity via a UK country side?
Well I was trolling some conspiracy sites the other night just for kicks and low and behold I found this little visual gem.

Too funny! Good work, especially for spending such a short time on it.
The other funny thing, though, is that I'm sure I've seen this logo design somewhere before (the one at the top of the page)... just never thought about the 666 connection.
Thanks for the laugh!

After I finished it I thought the top one looked like an aperture and the bottom resembled a hurricane icon. I guess that could mean Satan might be a shutterbug and hurricanes are a result of him passing some serious gas?

Great post! I really enjoyed the back story. For half an hour, your two resulting logos have a lot of promise. I'm sure I'll see a lot of spiral logos now and just not be able to trust the companies at all.

well, 666 or 616. both numbers are legit. 666 is more popular i suppose, although 616 is historically more accurate.

I love the way you've used the spiraling sixes. Very nice for 30 min exercise. And Lucius and red are very appropriate.
Your client might have been a bit deceptive with you during the initial meeting. The use of sixes as Satan's brand mark is actually a trademark infringement. This has created tons of brand confusion over the centuries for people, although I'm sure he didn't mind. The text you quote in the Bible brand manual (Rev 13:18) states clearly that the number "666" is the number of Man, not Satan. Crafty client eh? It's just recently that he's been exposed.
For a little additional brand background on this number, 666 simply represents "incompleteness" of man in spirit, soul, and body. Contrast this with God's brand number on Christ, the second man/Adam, which is 777 or complete in spirit, soul and body.
It gets a bit tricky when you look at the application of the mark 666. The beast (I'm sure he was present at your initial meeting) seems to plaster this logo on everybody. Only, it's not a literal mark on your hand and forehead or even little barcodes and microchips, this would be too crude for your client. What the beast (a.k.a. sin) is doing with the 666 mark is influencing the way you think (forehead) and act (hands). In other words, if you don't think with man's mind or act out of man's incomplete nature, you won't be able to function (buy and sell) on this earth. Clever eh? That's some serious branding!

How funny - I did this same sort of experiment back when I read the Left Behind books. I tried to envision how the "666" combined with "GCC" (Global Community Currency) would look together, and then superimposed it on a fellow's forehead.
It came out pretty cool and "euro"looking - assuming the European Union will have anything to do with the "10 kings" and "10 horns" and all that... eschatology is confusing to me, but luckily I don't have to figure it all out. I just have to be faithful while I'm here, and watch what the Lord does around me.
If i dig up the image I made, I'll pass it on to ya.

I really enjoyed this post. You actually came up with a very strong attractive logo (the top one) in short time. Satan would be proud seeing that we was so attractive among angels. Great explanation of the whole enchilada too.
I consider myself a fairly adept logo and vector artist and I must say your logo/vector work is impressive. I really like your "Lesson Maker" logo.
Nice work.

Nicely done, but I've seen it before. There's a 1970s movie called "Lucifer Rising" by Kenneth Anger. Several years back, someone put out the 3 soundtracks (yes, 3) to the film on one CD, and the "666" art shown here is essentially identical to the art printed on the CD. But it's such an incredibly rare CD that I'm sure it's just a coincidence. Regards, M

It's the same as the Google Chrome logo, which many have noticed displays the '666' incorporated into the circular shape of an eye looking straight at you, which some consider to represent the all-seeing eye.
And given Google's track record of being exposed as secretly and illegally logging the personal information of everyone on the planet, as well as its close relationship with the CIA, perhaps the use of such devilish icons isn't mere coincidence!

I have several questions, and quite probably some inadvertent presumptions. I will endeavour to try and keep them organised.
My first questions are about my understanding (and I am willing and happy to be corrected or advised).
1: Is it correct that: Lord Buddha has no interest in philosophical debate, but far more interest in the exposition of the ti-sikkhā ('three higher trainings') - the fourth noble truth (aka the noble eightfold path).
2: Is it correct that: The adhipaññā-sikkhā (wisdom training) of the ti-sikkhā is to understand and know the tilakkhaṇa (three marks of existence) thereby defeating ignorance, which in turn releases us from Taṇhā and Upādāna (grasping/clinging components of the Twelve Nidānas) that directly bind us to Samsara. That is, we must identify and eliminate the ignorance(s) of: Dukkha, Anicca, Anatta in order to be liberated from Samsara.
Now, if none of this is yet contentious, I wish to move onto the majjhimā paṭipadā - the middle way. Specifically the avoidance of two extremes in terms of understanding paññā (I am aware that 'middle way' is also used in other contexts).
3:Is it correct that: There are two extremes that one must avoid (and I am deliberately going to describe them, rather than depend upon terminology). One extreme is to disbelieve in Karma - to believe that what one does makes no difference. The second extreme is to believe that things/the self in themselves are efficacious - eg. that the self (in my tradition this is extended to all dharmas) is worthy of grasping/clinging.
4:Is it fair to identify the first extreme (a disbelief in karma) as ucchedavāda ?
5:Is it fair to identify the second extreme (a belief in the efficaciousness of self/dharmas as being worthy of grasping/clinging) as sassatavāda?
I will now use the phrase 'notion of efficacious self' to refer to a view that believes that the self/dharmas are worthy of grasping/clinging.
I now bring your attention to two translations of SN12.17
Thanissaro Bhikkhu: "The one who acts is the one who experiences [the result of the act]' amounts to the Eternalist statement"
M. O'Connell Walshe: "He who performs the act also experiences [the result]' [...] this amounts to the Eternalist theory."
My reading of these words (and this may be contentious) is that a view of an efficacious self (he who performs.. experiences) entails (amounts to) sassatavāda. In this sense, I understand that Lord Buddha is stating that the notion of an efficacious self entails a belief in some form of constancy, similar to those people who are known as the eternalists. But I believe that it is a fallacy (of affirming the consequent) to then interpret Lord Buddha as saying one must be an eternalist in order to have a notion of an efficacious self.
Certainly a belief in something's constancy will entail a belief in it's efficacy as an object of grasping - and following my reading of SN12.17 it follows that a notion of an efficacious self entails a belief in some sort of constancy, but I consider that one may still recognise anicca and yet still hold onto the self having some efficacy. In other words, along with dukkha, understanding anicca alone is not enough to free us from Samsara. We must also understand anatta in order to thoroughly free ourselves from any taint. Hence the exposition of three marks of existence rather than two.
Yet, I see many texts and expositions that consider the avoidance of 'eternalism' as being enough to remove one from Samsara. I cannot see how a belief in some sort of persistent or eternal self is required in order to continue to grasp/cling to samsara. For example, I may be fully aware that I am not the same as I was as a child, and that every part of 'me' has changed and changes from moment to moment and yet I may still, for instance, believe that fame or wealth will be worthy and efficacious causes of my happiness - or merely believe that I have some intrinsic quality that is a worthy object of my attention.
Where is the error?

Illustration by Michael O'Brien
The active and noisy tufted, North America's most widespread titmouse, is remarkably uniform morphologically, genetically, vocally, and behaviorally throughout its range. Besides gleaning trees and shrubs for arthropods, it spends more time on the ground searching leaf litter than do chickadees and most other titmouse species. The tufted titmouse does not usually associate with mixed-species flocks; after the breeding season it spends a lot of time in small foraging parties that typically consist of parents and their offspring. The tufted titmouse frequents well-vegetated urban and suburban areas, willingly uses nest boxes, and regularly visits bird feeders. Monotypic. Length 6.3" (16 cm).
Identification Adult: gray crest; black forehead; gray upperparts; pale gray or whitish breast and belly; flanks prominently washed in rust or orange. Juvenile: gray forehead, rather than black; slightly paler crest than in the adult. Hybrid: tufted and black-crested titmice interbreed in a north-south 30- to 60-mile-wide (50- to 100-kilometer-wide) belt extending from Oklahoma through central Texas, producing offspring with variably intermediate dusky crests and grayish foreheads that make identification near impossible.
Similar Species The only other titmice likely found in its range is the black-crested, which has a pale forehead. Juniper is much plainer and does not have brightly washed flanks.
Voice Call: a harsh, scolding zhee zhee zhee. Song: a loud, whistled peto peto peto or wheedle wheedle wheedle, often repeated monotonously.
Status and Distribution Common. Year-round: deciduous woodlands, suburbs, urban parks, wherever else trees are large enough to provide nest holes. Dispersal: wanders casually north of its usual limits in fall and winter; records from South Dakota, Minnesota, Quebec, and New Brunswick.
Population The species is increasing in nearly every part of its range. Expansion northward has been under way for at least a century, and the movement continues through northern New England and southern Canada. The bird's extreme sedentary nature probably accounts for the slow progression.

Equipment Spotlight: Drills
By L. Sorensen It's too early to say for sure but weaker grain prices could have a real impact on used equipment prices in 2009. Looking back at drill sales in January and February of 2008, nearly twice as many drills were reported sold last year this time. The highest priced drill, a John Deere 1560 went for $25,600 in Ohio at a February 2008 auction. The year wasn't available so it's difficult to know if that was an average price. A Great Plains Mfg. 1998 3000 30' drill sold in Texas for $18,000 in February 2008 and a John Deere 750 went for $18,000 in Illinois in January. Even though this isn't comparing apples to apples, the highest priced drill sold in January 2009 was a Great Plains Mfg. model that went for $35,000 January 21, 2009 in Missouri. Another Great Plains, a 2005 27' 2700, sold for $22,000 at a February 17, 2009 sale in Texas. In 2008, 120 drills were reported sold between Jan 1 and Feb 1. So far, in 2009, Reported January and February sales total 65. The state reporting the most drill sales in 2008 was Illinois where 43 drills were reported sold. The cheapest reported Illinois sale was a Vanbrunt model that sold for $400. I don't have details about the piece but imagine it was purchased as an antique. Other 2008 sales in Illinois included a John Deere 750 that sold for $18,000. Several other JD 750 model sale prices ranged from $11,400 to $15,000. It's interesting to note that all of those 2008 Illinois drill sales took place in January. Brand names included John Deere, International Harvester, Great Plains Mfg., Case IH, and IH. Case IH brands sold from a range of $5,300 to $6,100. The highest priced Case IH was a 5400 model that went for $9,000. The next highest Case IH was a 1996 5400 15' model. Great Plains Mfg. models included an SS30 that went for $7,500 and an SS at $16,000. International Harvester models ranged from $1,700 for a 5100 to $7,200 for a 5400 model. Of the 43 models auctioned off, 21 were John Deere brand that ranged in price from $1,050 for an 8200 to $18,000 for the highest priced 750. Of the 65 drills reported sold in January and February 2009, 25 were sold in Texas. The highest priced drill reported sold there was the Great Plains 27' 2700 model. The lowest priced model was a Tye brand. That brand comes from AGCO and the line is specialty drills such as grass drills. The highest priced grain drill sold in Texas was the Great Plains 27' 2700 that went for $22,000. This Kansas company produces a wide range of drills and is known for its heavy-duty models. Among the 25 drills reported sold in Texas so far this year, 17 were John Deere. The cheapest John Deere was a 1981 8200 16' that went for $350 in February. Without knowing the condition of the drill that may have been a pretty good bargain. A 1960 JD 16' DR sold for $410 and a 10' DR went for $675. Of the JD drills reported sold in Texas, they were 1990 or older models. Other models reported sold in Texas this year were Great Plains Mfg., Case and Tye. Of the two GP models sold, a 1993 30' went for $10,000 and the 2005 2700 27' sold for $22,000. The Tye models ranged from $300 to $700. In comparing the January and February 2008 with the same two months in 2009, it's interesting to note that the highest priced drill sold in 2008 was the JD 1560 at $25,600. This year, the GP sold for $35,000. As this is being written, there's one week left in February, but only 65 drills have been reported sold in comparison to 120 last year. The year the drill was manufactured isn't always supplied in sales reports, but it appears that drills sold this year are generally 1980 or newer, which is true of 2008 as well. The oldest drill reported sold in 2008 was a 1975 Tye model. One 1960 JD DR was reported sold this year.

Kimi Raikkonen has vowed to give his all in his final four grands prix with Lotus, insisting he has lost none of his motivation.
Having confirmed his switch to Ferrari for 2014 in the wake of the Italian Grand Prix, Raikkonen has found himself under pressure from his Lotus team-mate Romain Grosjean.
With the opportunity to lead Lotus on the horizon, the Frenchman has upped his pace both in qualifying and grands prix.
But while he has edged Raikkonen 3-0 on Saturday afternoons, the Finn has fought back on Sundays, beating his team-mate twice in three races.
Asked about the situation, the 2007 World Champ insisted he is as motivated as ever before.
"I think that never changes, it has been the same since the start of the year," he told ESPNF1.
"The fact I'm changing teams for next year doesn't change a thing for me, I still want to win races this year.
"I'm not interested in just driving around without pushing, I want to do always my best, so what happens next year doesn't interest me for now."
The 33-year-old added that if he was unmotivated he wouldn't even come to the races as he only does his job because he loves it.
"I always said that if I didn't like it I wouldn't come to the next race. I'm happy to walk away when I feel like it and I have no reason to do something that I am not enjoying.
"For sure there are a lot of things I am not a big fan of but at least so far the racing makes up for it. I'm happy with the way things are going and hopefully in the future it will be even better."
