Tuberculosis is caused by a group of organisms Mycobacterium tuberculosis, M. bovis, M. africanum and a few other rarer subtypes. Tuberculosis usually appears as a lung (pulmonary) infection. However, it may infect other organs in the body. Recently, antibiotic-resistant strains of tuberculosis have appeared. With increasing numbers of immunocompromised individuals with AIDS, and homeless people without medical care, tuberculosis is seen more frequently today.

June 21st, 2012 By Pedro FernandezCARTER STORY IN READERS DIGEST FORMAT
San Francisco, CA- Having once met Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, I walked away from the meeting as perplexed afterwards as I was before the encounter. Although all I said was hello to him, I wondered could this be a man who murdered three people n 1966 with John Artis in a Patterson, NJ tavern? Having encountered mass murderers and murderers in my life as a police officer and in my personal life, this seeing my cousin once killed a guy on a night I sidestepped going out with him because of my mother's warnings. After the Police called me to appear in a lineup two days later, something I refused to do because one of my cousins was almost identical to me in looks was involved, but not arrested.
Although veteran matchmaker, a former college educated journalist Eric Bottjer tells me that Rubin did indeed commit the three murders in the Lafayette Grill, Carter was eventually freed after 19 years on a "technicality" if you are of the Eric Bottjer ilk. Others say he was not retried because the evidence did not support a third trial. But Bottjer also feels Lee Harvey Oswald alone killed President John Kennedy, something I will prove was not the case in a book I plan to have ready for the publisher by October of this year.
If you rap with people who supported Carter during his incarceration, the prosecution decided not to prosecute the fighter known as "Hurricane" after two convictions the 60s in 1985 because they knew they had the wrong guy. The Lafayette Grill bartender, who was one of the three that was whacked, was said to be a racist who used the "N" word as often as the Republicans use the word "veto" when President Obama puts forth legislation. From what I've learned, seeing blacks were denied patronage at the bar, this was part of the equation that resulted in the murders.
I can write 10,000 words giving you reasons why Rubin did the murders and an equal amount of verbiage claiming he was innocent. I can tell you that a car, one that mirrored Carter's to a "T" was described as the getaway vehicle. In closing, I'm going to leave this up to the readers who can read a bit before formulating an opinion. Personally, I think that Carter, who was in the bar ten minutes before the killings "looks good" for the triple murder, but you need to realize that I am an ex-cop, albeit an unusual one in that I believe black men and people of color have been jailed for crimes they did not commit and admittedly state that the system of criminal prosecution is slanted against people of color.
That being said, Carter who now lives in Canada, do you think Rubin killed three people in 1966? Was he an angry black man who after spending 19 years in jail skated, or was he innocent from the get-go? I ask that you do some research before submitting your opinion. As a professional fighter, Carter went 27-12-1, 27 KOs, twice dropping and winning a TKO 1 over former and future middleweight champ Emile Griffith.
Pedro Fernandez
Don't know wasn't there or born around that time
Carter lives in Canada because it was Canadians that helped free him. I was the first electronic journalist to interview Carter in the early 90's and when asked why he chose Canada to live his quote was…
"I'm canvassing the Universe trying to find me a place where people understand other people. And Canadians understand other people."
These Canadians also helped a young black man from the Bronx get his education and help with the cause of freeing Carter. Although there were obvious Hollywood plot lines in 'Hurricane', as a former cop you should be able to smell the stink of this
I've had the pleasure of interviewing some of the worlds greatest sportsman including Ali, Pele, Leonard etc but no one has left me with the sort of impression Carter did. His intensity is incredible. Consider this, John Artis a well known track athlete could have got off with a snap of the fingers, all he had to do was finger Carter who not even a friend, but a guy who happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time. He didn't and spent 10 years in prison and has never once wavered.
I think if you are going to ask readers whether or not they think he's guilty or innocent more info should be given to be fair (you are the journalist not the readers-it's up to you to do the research). Not mentioned was that 2 white men were found in the bar after the shootings one with his hand in the cash
register. These 2 career criminals should raise your 'cop' alarms, especially when their testimony/story changed more often than Joan Rivers cheekbones!
I'm glad I've never experienced being around murderers as you and other cops have, but based on everything I've read, and everything instinct I have says Mr. Carter was railroaded and I'm glad Canada can help him because the USA certainly didn't!
yea i do need to do some more research but from i hear he sounds guilty but wasn't given a fair trial, not being given a fair trial doesn't mean he didn't do it, i will research it some more on wikipedia..
Pedro, I think it is impossible for us to make heads or tails of what happened in 1966 in a PA tavern. I also saw Rubin Hurricane Carter at the IBHOF. He appeared stand offish towards the public. I don't know if he's very private or bitter about having been incarcerated in the past. I hope he didn't kill anyone that night. It does sound like the people who were killed were low life scum bags, typical of white America in the 1960's, hard to have sympathy for them either way.
You know Pedro, Carter, along with Griffith, Billy Douglas, and Joey Giardello,all were some tough, talented hombres, back in the 60's. My Q, regarding Rubin is this: What was his Motivation in Killing three people, whom I do Not think he knew? No Robbery? Carter was not suspected as being a Pro-Hit-Man, as in Mafia terms. Why would he have had, Artist a young 18-19 yr old in the car, if he was going to 'NAIL THREE PEOPLE'? Makes absolutley No NEXUS??? I believe the victims were two men, and one woman? WHY, one must ask? Where is the LINKAGE? What about the COP, admitting he advanced the Time line, by 15 mins. to make the CASE against Carter, hold water??? Hell that in and of itself, SMELLS? Rubin's never changed his story, over the last 46 years. Finally 'Sticks & Stones can break my bones! But Names will never hurt me'! Being black, and living in NJ./PA, back when Rubin was coming up, he probably was immune to Negative Name Calling, as tough as he was. Before a 'Cat' like Carter would use a Gun, he would drop a dude with a Left/Right hand, who had 'Bad Mouthed' him. Period.
While I'm not 100% sure he did it either the their is a web site that details the myths about the movie and trail that are quite compelling. The thing that bothered me is I once read an article in the ring that said carter actually beat up the women that spent so much time getting him freed. Maybe it's prejudice on my part. Maybe tho i just feel that the man is a liar. He lied about being a social activist. He failed a polygraph. He was the only person that thought he beat joey giardello but acted like racism was the reason he lost. His story changed about a dozen times and lets face it he was convicted twice. The second time under plenty of public scrutiny. It's a hard call but I lean towards guilt.
@Mr. Scott Granville. Absolutely Great Post and insight. Sounds like you know what you are speaking of. Peace.
Read a lot about it over the years and can't make up my mind either. There is some compelling arguments either way.
I didn't like the way the movie made it look like he got robbed against Giardello, but I guess that's Hollywood for you.
Scott thank you for being the voice of reason. Pedro sounds like the Dean Koontz book I just read about bad police work. If bad police work makes you feel a person is guilty that just makes you a Mayweather Fan. I would love to know the details of why pedro feels he's guilty.
I never said that I thought he was guility, I said I could write 10,000 words on each side. Jason, the word of the day is comprehension!
Pedro, what have you got against Republicans? Don King is one, and I bet half your readers are also. By the way, the Republicans cannot veto anything that Obama does because Obama is the President; and only the President can "veto" something.
Veto was the wrong word. Block, refuse to approve, like taking away tax breaks to big Oil companies, not wanting to tax people that make over $250 K a year more. It isn't the Republican Party I dislike. I would have voted for Nixon, the last "liberal" president we ever had. But the neo-consrvative side, the Bush Jr. cabinet, Cheney, Pearl, Wolfowitz, if you read Bush's leading advisor Terrorist expert Richard Clarke, they purposely went into Iraq sans any real cause. I rest my case…Thanks!
No one alive and I mean no one, knows Rubin better than my father who was with him constantly back then. My father a pro referee and former fighter and retired police officer lived with Carter constantly in training camp for most all his fights and was at all the trials and visited him in prison for 19 years and 7 months each month.
My Dad won a BLACK PRESTIGE LIFETIME CIVIL RIGHTS ACHIEVEMENT AWARD and a 2007 NAACP MAN OF DISTINCTION AWARD. He is writing a book on his life and this saga was part of it. Rubin Carter is dying from advanced prostate cancer, so my Father will not comment on what he knows.
The material on http://www.graphicwitness.com is very disturbing to anyone who dedicated themselves to helping Rubin. The myths and stories grow with each year with a total misunderstanding of that event or what the players were really like back then, not now, but back then. That includes Rubin and the cops.
My father was his paid sparring partner and helped him prepare for many of his fights including the one with Joey Giardello.
Here are films of Rubin Carter and my father Ron Lipton Retired Police Officer and Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Investigator and active pro boxing referee.
2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JIbSKo_WOuU
Here is my father's website:
See Testimonials.
Ron Lipton was a very good boxing ref and it's a shame that they black-listed him for doing any more fights. I'd like to see him back in there.
Hurricane did commit those murders. There were witnesses who knew Rubin who seen him there. He was known to collect for the mob, and one of the victims, a known criminal who Rubin was there to collect from, was known as a very BAD dude who carried a gun and wasnt afraid to use it. Rubin, knowing this guy would stand up to him and pull his piece came in blasting. It has nothing to do with race, Rubin was just as big a scumbag as the people he was dealing with, but knew his fists wouldnt be enough this night.
true story from a Paterson resident, believe me or not, I dont care.
Thanks, O-Ren.
Thanks Jerome,
my father is now licensed in NY State and refereed a pro bout in Poughkeepsie on May 12, 2012. There was a NY State Supreme Court ruling which addressed how badly my father was deliberately set up to ruin his career. It is past us now, however I think it would be imminently fair now for NYSAC to bring him back to the big fights.
He showed very clearly how fast and knowledgeable he still is in that ring, and he is in the same shape he was when he was boxing. He is in amazing physical condition, ripped six pack and not an ounce of fat on him.
He knows the game inside and out as a ref and former fighter, but so far no big fights coming his way. It seems very political which he is not, some guys the worse they do in there, killing a boxer through negligence, injuring others means nothing or being unable to move quick in the ring because of being over weight, means nothing, they still get all the work.
None of it makes any sense.
How truthful is Rubin Carter? Here's one clear example:
He claims today — as he claimed to The New York Times in 2000 — that he was held in solitary confinement for years. Not true.
The NY Times — a big supporter of Carter — was forced to correct his claim on Jan. 19, 2000. The correction said, "He was held in solitary confinement sporadically for a few months during his 19-year imprisonment, not for the entire time."
Other distortions of truth from his current promotional materials:
"Seemingly unstoppable boxing champion" — In the 18 months before the triple murder, his boxing record was a dismal 7-7-1. Ring Magazine headlined "Carter's Skid" just months before the murders.
"False conviction" — Two juries nine years apart convicted him — and that includes two black jurors who voted "guilty" in 1976. The convincing evidence still stands. Most people don't realize that he was released due to procedural errors — "technicalities" — NOT because any evidence proved his innocence.
"Poverty-stricken childhood" — His father "made good money with his various business enterprises," reports James Hirsch's book on Carter.
"Troubled adolescence and early adulthood" — He was a juvenile delinquent and was repeatedly sent to reformatories. He eventually got sent to prison for beating and robbing people — "a whirlwind crime spree" the newspaper called it.
The evidence makes it clear: Rubin Carter stood over a cowering grandmother and fired a shotgun into her! He has every reason to lie, and he knows most of you won't bother to check up on him. Show him he's wrong. Reporter's evidence data base is at http://www.graphicwitness.com/carter
Regarding Mr. Carter, I'm glad he has found a good life in Canada and that he hasn't had legal problems since his release. From what I've read about him, he always struck me as a complex, intense, and intelligent man.
Mr. Fernandez, who do you think would have won between Hurricane Carter (night of Emile Griffith fight) vs. Jimmy Lester (night of Florentino Fernandez fight)? I look forward to your response. I'll say it's pick em' fight. I'm slightly biased towards Lester due to the fact that he was a Bay Area fighter, and I had a couple of positive encounters with him (Newman's Gym in '81 and S.F. Golden Gloves in '91). I know that you knew Lester very well.
That was Jimmy's best night. I knew him real well and I woud be biased. RIP The Bayview Bomber.
Pedro y did u have to bring politics into ths? My respect 4 u has diminished quite a bit and my visits 2 ur will also diminish. I'm not a Republican, I am independent, but I'm still insulted by a partisan like u, I'm sure I smell a democrat…….by da way use the race card next time to defend Obama.
Carlos Cmpos
Mr. Pedro you are the journalist you should do your homework well before writing not the reader, the reader formulates his or her opinion after reading the piece. Mr. Carter was framed and railroaded fight from the ring to the penitentiary, look at how he was cheated in the 1964 WBC/WBA title bout against Joey Giaderllo, a fight that all and sundry adjudged to have been won by Carter but the PA ring judges saw otherwise because it will be unfathomable to see a black boxer beating a white boxer. Furthermore, the police chief whatever his name may be I am not interested in stating it here, has been gunning to incarcerate Mr. Carter by any means possible found a convenient tragic incident to accomplish this goal. Finally, my opinion in consonance with that of many is Mr. Rubin Carter (Hurricane) and John Artis were innocent Americans that were wrongly accused, and convicted for a crime they did not commit.
He was not cheated as u only saw the movie, not reality.

No Homework on Fridays
Students do not need homework on Friday. I think students shouldn't get homework on Fridays. We have homework every other day of the week. Fridays are our weekends - we don't need homework to ruin it. We have other activities and don't have time to do homework. We just want to have fun on the weekends. We expect to go home and relax on Fridays, not do homework. In the end, there should be no homework on Fridays. It's our time and we go to school every day. So we deserve not to have homework on Fridays.

Will consumer-level cold fusion be proven this weekend?
Today in Italy, a new energy technology called the E-Cat is undergoing its first independent test of energy output. The E-Cat supposedly uses low-energy nuclear reactions to produce massive amounts of cheap and clean power, and if it works, it could completely revolutionize our entire society. If it works.
For the last several years, the E-Cat concept and prototypes have been bouncing around the nuclear energy community. Its method of operation has never been accepted in a peer-reviewed journal, all of the testing has been conducted by Andrea Rossi, the guy who designed the device (never a good idea), and nobody's ever gotten a good look at the system itself, since it's contained inside a sealed black box.
The Story So Far
From a scientific perspective, this is all extremely sketchy. What the E-Cat purports to do is turn a little bit of input energy, plus hydrogen, into a huge amount of output energy (heat) using a nickel catalyst with only copper as a byproduct: somehow, hydrogen combines with nickel to create copper while giving off heat. So technically, it's not cold fusion, but a low energy nuclear reaction.
Some calculations of one test run showed an output of 30 kilowatt-hours after an initial input of only nine kilowatt-hours, and the final generator should produce energy at a rate of six to one. This isn't "free" energy — hydrogen is being used up. But only a tiny amount of hydrogen is used, relative to the amount of energy being produced, and there are no carbon or radioactive outputs at all.
At least, this is what we've all been told is going on. But nobody knows for sure, and this weekend will be the first independent verification of the power input and output of a one megawatt reactor based on E-Cat technology.
If It Works?
So what happens if it turns out to work? Well, it's going to be huge. It has the potential to change our entire society in a generation. Consider how much time and money are spent producing power in general, and how much you personally pay for access to that power in the form of gasoline and electricity and various taxes. Also consider how much we abuse the environment producing all of this power, both before and after we actually use it.
If the E-Cat comes to fruition and very cheap, very clean power becomes available for everyone, we could forget about oil, we could forget about coal, and we could forget about nuclear power. Electricity would be dirt cheap. Transportation would be dirt cheap. And everything that depends on electricity or transportation (i.e. almost everything everywhere) would have its costs slashed. It would be incredible.
Of course, most people don't think that the E-Cat does what it says it does. There's extreme skepticism in the scientific community, which is why this test is so important. Odds are, it's not going to work, but as with most things that depend on wild odds (like the lottery), the consequences if it does work are so enormous that it's worth paying at least a little bit of attention to.
We'll keep you updated.

Obama picks Biden as a Running-mate
This is a discussion on Obama picks Biden as a Running-mate within the Global Affairs forums, part of the Main Topics category; Obama picks Biden as Running-mate S Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has announced that Joe Biden will be his running ...

Obama picks Biden as a Running-mate
Obama picks Biden as Running-mate
S Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama has announced that Joe Biden will be his running mate in November's election.
Mr Obama's choice, confirmed on his website, comes ahead of next week's Democratic Party convention. Mr Biden, a 65-year-old veteran lawmaker, has three decades of Senate experience and is highly respected on foreign policy issues. Republican contender John McCain could announce his choice next week. Speculation is mounting that Senator McCain may name his running mate on 29 August, his 72nd birthday and a day after the Democrats wrap up their convention.
'Impressive record'
The announcement came shortly after several US media networks began reporting that Mr Biden had been chosen.
"Barack has chosen Joe Biden to be his running mate," a brief statement on Mr Obama's campaign website said.
"Joe Biden brings extensive foreign policy experience, an impressive record of collaborating across party lines, and a direct approach to getting the job done," it said.
The two men are expected to appear together at a rally in Springfield, Illinois, later in the day.
Mr Biden has served six terms in the US Senate. He chairs the Foreign Relations Committee - something analysts say would balance Mr Obama's self-confessed lack of foreign policy experience. The senator ran against Mr Obama and Senator Hillary Clinton for the presidential nomination but dropped out after failing to gain enough support. The McCain camp called the choice of Mr Biden an admission by Barack Obama that he was not ready to be president.
"Biden has denounced Barack Obama's poor foreign policy judgement and has strongly argued in his own words what Americans are quickly realising - that Barack Obama is not ready to be president," McCain campaign spokesman Ben Porritt said in a statement.
John McCain has reportedly not yet settled on a running mate. Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney are reported to be under serious consideration for the role.

good to hear. i think biden would be a better choice than any of the others!'Abdullaah ibn Salaam reported that the Messenger of Allaah said:
O people!
spread the greeting of salaam,
feed others,
maintain the ties of kinship,
pray at night while the people sleep,
and you shall enter Jannah, safe and sound.

When I first saw the title I thought it read "Osama picks Biden as a Running-mate."
- 24th August 2008 #4
At least he didn't pick Clinton. It has been sad to see her change in such a way, that watching the elections on TV seemed more like an Oprah show, than a presidential candidate speaking. However, Biden seemed to suffer from the same tendencies of speaking in adventurous terms rather than "from the heart". If McCain has one thing that neither Obama, Biden or H. Clinton have, then it's direct and understandable communication skills. Which is unfortunate.
This election, I feel as if it's a lose-lose situation. And while I disagree with McCain on a number of issues, I honestly can't say I would rather have Obama in office - scary I know :-) It's just personally I'd rather have someone I disagree with, but can understand and communicate with, in office, rather than some puppet who apparently speaks whatever seems most popular with the current crowd.
What do you think?

I would not be surprised if John McCain wins the election. Apparently since the Georgia events of early August, McCain has become more popular for some reason.
Anyway, even if Obama technically does win the election, the last two US elections have shown the world that the Republican party doesn't always "play by the rules," so to speak.
If McCain wins, I say good. He's likely to continue the present self-destructive American policy with regard to the Muslim lands - and this is bound to continue backfiring on the Americans as it already is doing.
And who knows, maybe he'll continue to worsen the relationship with some of America's other old enemies as well...

There are small commercial buildings on both sides of the street, and they are old, too, waiting for the economy to turn around.

The Reform Jewish Voice of New York State Newsletter
Setting the 2010 Issue Agenda - We Want YOUR Input!
Reform Jewish Voice of New York State is asking you to help us select issues for the current year that will further our progressive agenda. Please review the list of issues below and tell us which one(s) are most important to you and for which we can count on you advocating with you state legislators and government officials. Please submit your choices to email@example.com by February 5, 2010. ENVIRONMENT The Marcellus Shale is a 65,000 square mile formation that stretches through Southern New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia and West Virginia. Deposits of natural gas trapped under the shale are being mined at an increasingly rapid rate. While some promote natural gas drilling in the shale as a cleaner, safer alternative to coal mining or offshore drilling, many questions about the ecological and human health impacts remain unanswered complicated by the method of extraction called hydraulic fracture, fracking. There is movement in New York State to halt all fracking of the Marcellus Shale until the full environmental and health consequences are known. ETHICS IN NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT A bill was passed by the state Senate and Assembly on January 20th. Many people, including Governor Paterson, do not believe the bill goes far enough to cover the abuses that have occurred in the New York State Legislature. The assumption is that the Governor will veto the bill and the Legislature will most probably override the veto. We will pursue greater transparency and better governance in New York State. HEALTH CARE We know that health care reform is a vital issue. Given the uncertainty related to national health care reform and implications to New York State, we do not have a specific issue at this time but will continue to follow the situation very closely. MARRIAGE EQUALITY We were disheartened by the failure to legalize same-sex marriage in New York. This was a backward step on the road to equality. We have said that the civil right of marriage should be available in our state. Religious marriage and civil marriage are different and each religious group should be free to define religious marriage in their own way. We will continue to work with our coalition partners for the next two years to pursue full civil rights for same gender couples. POVERTY The budget proposed by Governor Paterson delays one of his important achievements - a plan to increase monthly welfare allowances. The neediest among us will feel the pain of this delay. In addition, we will refocus on job creation. (See below in this newsletter for a discussion on "Highlighting Economic (In)Justice") REPRODUCTIVE CHOICE The proposed Reproductive Health Act protects a woman's right to control her own reproductive health in a manner that is best for herself, her family, and her future. The Act ensures that a woman will have the right to an abortion if her health is endangered at any time during her pregnancy. It treats regulation of abortion as an issue of public health and medical practice, rather than as a potential crime, removing abortion from the New York State penal code. The Act guarantees everyone the right to use or refuse contraception. Finally, it updates New York State law by codifying constitutional requirements and removing outdated provisions, in order to ensure that women's rights are protected in the future. *** We are planning a conference call on the New York State budget. Further information will follow via email.
Marriage Equality Bill Defeated in New York State Senate
The Reform Jewish Voice of New York State is disheartened by the failure to legalize same-sex marriage in New York. This backward step is a deeply disappointing delay on the road to equality, and a vote that was on the wrong side of history. We thank the members of the Assembly who have repeatedly tried to move equality forward for all New Yorkers and the members of the Senate who voted in favor of the Marriage Equality Bill. There are 100 Reform Jewish congregations in New York State with a combined membership of nearly 100,000. RJV is a network of committed members of these congregations who are working toward passage of a bill granting marriage equality to all New Yorkers regardless of gender preference. Following this disappointing vote, RJV prepared letters of gratitude to State Senators who voted in favor and letters of condemnation to those who blocked the bill. These letters were made available to all RJV advocates who wished to follow up with their legislators.
Highlighting Economic (In)Justice: "And Justice for All - A Reform Jewish Voice Shabbat"
"Our teachers have said: If all the troubles of the world are assembled on one side and poverty is on the other, poverty would outweigh them all" (Midrash Exodus Rabbah 31:12). Isaiah (58:7) declared a message from God: "share your bread with hungry people and bring homeless persons into your house" (Isaiah 58:7). Maimonides taught that the highest degree of righteous giving is to aid a person in need by "offering that person a gift or a loan, by entering into partnership, or by providing work for your this person in need so that one may become self-supporting," without having to ask people for anything. In regard to this, it is written, "You shall maintain the impoverished person; whether stranger or sojourner, this one shall live beside you"(Leviticus 25:35); that is to say, "maintain your neighbor so that he or she may not fall and be in need of help" (Maimonides, Mishneh Torah, "Gifts to the Poor" 10:7). If our prophets and sages lived today, surely they would cry out against a nation that allows children to go hungry and families to sleep on the streets. Surely they would cry out against a society that neglects healing persons who are ill or helping those who are infirm, providing clothing for those wanting, and setting the alleviation of poverty as a national priority. We, too, cry out. During the Thanksgiving season, from Sukkot to Thanksgiving, twenty-three congregations participated in And Justice for All: A Reform Jewish Voice Shabbat. Using educational materials created by RJV, congregations focused on our Jewish mandate to free others from the shackles of poverty by listening to speakers, studying texts, engaging in hands on projects to alleviate poverty, and sending letters to Governor Patterson discouraging him from building his budget on the backs of New Yorkers who can least afford it. One congregation, Central Synagogue of Nassau County, seamlessly and successfully wove advocacy for social change into its programming for And Justice for All: A Reform Jewish Voice Shabbat and its program of education and direct assistance. During Mitzvah Day in October, the congregation began a year-long partnership with a social service agency, New Ground, which helps families and veterans break out of the cycle of poverty. Participants in Mitzvah Day learned about factors that make it difficult for people to better their lot, performed hands on direct service activities, and set the stage for And Justice for All. During Shabbat services on November 13th0, Rabbi Marc Gruber led the congregation through a text study focusing on the rabbinic definition of poverty and Jewish responsibility to alleviate the pain of people suffering poverty's impact. The social action committee of the congregation collected 183 signed letters to Governor Patterson. RJV followed up the And Justice for All campaign with an action alert and an effort asking people to call Kristin Proud, Deputy Secretary for Human Services, to make sure Governor Paterson's budget draws down all $638 million of federal contingency funds for welfare, and allocates at least $100 million for jobs and job training. RJV will continue to work to create a society that fulfills the teaching of the Talmud (Shabbat 63a), "Although the giving of charity is a sacred obligation, the ultimate aim of tzedakah is to abolish poverty and to enable poor persons to help themselves."
Interested in pursuing social justice advocacy?
Is there something on your mind? Do you feel like you need to do something but can't figure out how? Let us know and we can help you foster meaningful change in your community. One of our lay leaders in your area would be more than happy to lead a lobbying training seminar or help you organize a communications plan to influence your local leaders on the moral and social issues of the day. Don't feel overwhelmed, feel empowered to make change! Contact RJV's co-chairs for more ways to pursue justice in your backyard.

Contribution of MeCP2 to reprogramming and synaptogenesis
Read more
Funding Type:
Basic Biology III
Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed:
Public Abstract:
The project aims at investigating the contribution of MeCP2 to reprogramming, genomic instability and control of synaptogenesis. Mutations in the MeCP2 gene can cause the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Rett syndrome (RTT). ASD are complex neurodevelopmental diseases, highly heritable and mainly characterized by deficits in impaired social interaction, and repetitive behavior. The prevalence of ASD has dramatically increased (57%) over the past four years, from 1:150 in 2002 to 1:110 in 2006. Family history and twin studies suggest that, at least in some cases, these disorders share genetic roots, but the degree to which environmental and genetic factors account for individual differences within ASD is currently unknown. A combination of several genetic mutations is likely to play a role in each ASD individual. Mutations and duplication of MeCP2 gene are also observed in other disorders, such as severe neonatal encephalopathy, schizophrenia and X-linked mental retardation. We recently developed an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) system for RTT and showed that MeCP2 is directly involved on the regulation of glutamatergic synapses in human neurons. Also, we demonstrated that MeCP2 is a repressor of L1 retrotransposons, leading to an increase number in somatic mutations. The aims and experiments of this proposal were designed to understand the function of MeCP2 during development. The data generated here will be useful to design novel therapeutic targets for several neurological disorders. The results of this research will have broad implication in the field, with direct consequences for the generation of stem cells free of somatic insertions and the understanding of early stages of synaptic development in human neurons.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Mutations in the MeCP2 gene were linked to several mental disorders, including Rett syndrome (RTT), X-linked mental retardation, severe neonatal encephalopathy, schizophrenia and autism, affecting many Californian children. Because MeCP2 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple disorders, the investigation of MeCP2 function and regulatory pathways in the cell may show promise for developing broad-spectrum therapies. In the absence of a functionally effective cure or early diagnostic tool, the cost of caring for patients with such pediatric diseases is high, in addition to a major personal and family impact since childhood. Our major goal is to understand the regulatory network of MeCP2 molecular interactions in the cells. Our preliminary data strongly suggest that MeCP2 is an important factor for the maintenance of genome stability in stem cells. Moreover, it is also involved in the control of synapses during development. The proposed experiments will bring novel insights on the identification of novel therapeutic targets, potential diagnostics for early detection of several diseases risk, or ability to predict severity of particular symptoms. In addition, the development of this type of validation approach in California will serve as an important proof of principle and stimulate the formation of businesses that seek to develop novel types of therapies in California with consequent economic benefit.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — A dazzling blue 122-foot-tall Mickey's Sorcerer's Hat takes center stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios representing the magic of show business and the entertainment wizardry of Disney that is captured throughout shows and attractions at the park.
This giant showpiece, made from composite fiberglass and shaped like the pointed hat worn by Mickey in the animated classic "Fantasia," weighs 156 tons. It is a brilliant blue, and decorated with moon and star shapes of glittering gold.
As designed, an equally great Mickey hand tips the hat, which rests on two shimmering ribbon loops that are stylized versions of Mickey's ears. The hat and ears sit atop a solid foundation that uses enough concrete to cover the length of a football field.
The icon stands at the end of Hollywood Boulevard directly in front of the Chinese Theater.
The Sorcerer's Hat at Disney's Hollywood Studios follows Disney's icon tradition of Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom, Spaceship Earth at Epcot and The Tree of Life at Disney's Animal Kingdom.
Disney's Hollywood Studios immerses guests in the glamour of show business 365 days a year with thrilling attractions, incredible Broadway-style shows, world-class entertainment and interactive film, television and radio production facilities. The theme park is part of the 25,000-acre Walt Disney World Resort near Orlando, Fla.
- Head Measurements: The hat size is 606 7/8.
- On Top of the Mouse: Mickey would have to be 350 feet tall if he were to wear this giant hat.
- The Hat: The hat itself is 100 feet tall. The interior space equals nearly 60,000 cubic feet. It can hold 444,744 gallons of water. Six stars and two moons adorn the hat.
- Paint Job: The hat is painted with a custom technique called "chameleon paint" which shifts color as guests move around it. Painting the hat required enough paint to cover 500 Cadillacs.
- Mickey Ears: The Mickey ears feature a new special effect called "Light Ribbons," which change color and sparkle with internal pixie dust lighting.
- Holding it All Together: There are 13,493 bolts that hold the hat together, 26,986 washers and 17,000 feet (or 57 football fields) of underground utility piping.

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson says he will gladly "win ugly" when old rivals Liverpool visit Old Trafford on Sunday.
Brendan Rodgers' side lie 21 points adrift of Ferguson's league leaders but the Scot expects a tight contest in front of the Sky cameras.
"Derby games are very tricky affairs, they always have been," Ferguson told the club's official website.
"I'm quite happy to play badly and win this one.
"Last year we outplayed them in the FA Cup game at Anfield and lost 2-1. You sit there at the end of the game and say to yourself: 'How did that happen?'.
"Derby games are like that, although hopefully this time we play well and win. With the form we're in, we're going into it in the right frame of mind. But Liverpool will always be difficult to beat."
United have won seven of the last eight league meetings at Old Trafford.

Yvette Wilson
Actress on 'Moesha,' 'The Parkers'
Wilson's friend Jeffrey Pittle, who organized a fund to help with her medical bills confirmed her death.
After a start in stand-up comedy, Wilson landed her first acting roles in the 1993 ABC sitcom "Thea" and in the films "House Party 3," "Friday" and "Poetic Justice."
Wilson portrayed Andell Wilkerson, owner of the popular hangout The Den on "Moesha," a 1996 UPN sitcom that starred R&B singer Brandy. After five seasons Wilson joined "The Parkers" for five more seasons.
A Los Angeles native, Wilson also appeared on HBO's "Def Comedy Jam."
In recent years, she had managed a music label and worked in real estate in the Los Angeles area, according to her manager, Holly Carter.
Margie Hyams, 91, a vibraphonist who played with bandleaders Woody Herman and George Shearing as well as with her own jazz trio in the 1940s, died Thursday of renal failure at Arcadia Methodist Hospital, said her daughter Lisa Ericsson. Born Aug. 9, 1920, in New York, Hyams played the vibes with Herman's First Herd in 1944 and '45, then formed a trio and also appeared with Mary Lou Williams and Charlie Ventura until 1949, when she was invited to join Shearing, the blind piano virtuoso. She was a member of his original quintet and recorded with it the classic "September in the Rain." She retired in 1950 after marrying William Ericsson.

The ADA4950-1/ADA4950-2 are gain-selectable versions of the ADA4932-1/ADA4932-2 with on-chip feedback and gain resistors with on-chip feedback and gain resistors. It is an ideal choice for driving high performance ADCs as a single-ended-to-differential or differential-to-differential amplifier. The output common-mode voltage is user adjustable by means of an internal common-mode feedback loop, allowing the ADA4950-x output to match the input of the ADC. The internal feedback loop also provides exceptional output balance as well as suppression of even-order harmonic distortion products.
Differential gain configurations of 1, 2, and 3 are easily realized with internal feedback networks that are connected externally to set the closed-loop gain of the amplifier.
The ADA4950-1/ADA4950-2 are fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc., proprietary silicon-germanium (SiGe) complementary bipolar process, enabling them to achieve low levels of distortion and noise at low power consumption. The low offset and excellent dynamic performance of the ADA4950-x make it well suited for a wide variety of data acquisition and signal processing applications.
The ADA4950-x is available in a Pb-free, 3 mm × 3 mm, 16-lead LFCSP (ADA4950-1, single) or a Pb-free 4 mm × 4 mm, 24-lead LFCSP (ADA4950-2, dual). The pinout has been optimized to facilitate PCB layout and minimize distortion. The ADA4950-1/ADA4950-2 are specified to operate over the -40°C to +105°C temperature range; both operate on supplies from +3 V to ±5 V.Applications

Arsenal defender Carl Jenkinson has reportedly agreed a new long-term deal at the Emirates.
Jenkinson, who joined the club in June 2011 after making just nine appearances for Charlton, has been rewarded for his fine form this term with a new improved contract, according to SkySports.com.
The 20-year-old made 14 appearances in all competitions last season, but he has impressed this campaign after filling in for the injured Bacary Sagna in the opening weeks of the season.
It is now understood that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has seen enough to reward the full-back with a contract extension as he looks to secure his best young players on long-term deals.
Jenkinson's performances have earned a call-up to the England squad and he could make his debut in Wednesday's friendly with Sweden.
Arsenal are expected to confirm the news of Jenkinson's new deal later this week and the news will be a boost ahead of this weekend's North London derby with Tottenham.

Do You Know the Purim Story?
The basis of Purim is the story of Queen Esther, recorded in the megillah, also known as the Book of Esther. Esther is an orphan, raised by her uncle Mordechai, ultimately plucked from obscurity to be the queen of Persia by the drunken King Ahasverosh. Her story involves secrecy, intrigue, violence, an evil villain, sex, and ultimately, a raucous celebration.
Intrigued? You can read the whole Purim story here.

Moody's Reveals U.S. Debt Downgrade Landmines
TheStreet) -- Ratings agency
(MCO) has outlined why it may downgrade the U.S. government's debt rating by 2014, citing the nation's debt to gross domestic product
On Tuesday, Moody's said it may downgrade the U.S. debt rating from Aaa - its highest rating -- to Aa1 by 2014 if budget negotiations during the 2013 Congressional legislative session fail to stabilize the federal debt to GDP ratio.
Currently, Moody's holds the U.S. government's Aaa rating with a "negative" outlook, signaling that a rating review would likely yield a cut.
If Congressional negotiations lead to a debt to GDP stabilization over the medium term, Moody's says, "the rating will likely be affirmed and the outlook returned to stable, says Moody's," in its updated outlook.The wording also indicates that economic shocks of a "fiscal cliff" - mandated federal budget cuts if Congress can't come up with a budget deal -- or a harsh budget deal would not lead to a downgrade regardless of the impact to the U.S. economy. The only scenario that would likely lead to Moody's temporary maintenance of a negative outlook the U.S. government, "would be if the method adopted to achieve debt stabilization involved a large, immediate fiscal shock--such as would occur if the so-called "fiscal cliff" actually materialized--which could lead to instability," the agency said. The Aaa rating, with its negative outlook, will be maintained until the 2013 Congress finalizes either a new budget deal or cements a standoff. The rating outlook also assumes a relatively orderly process for the increase in the statutory debt limit as the U.S. once again nears a new debt limit. Last August, Standard & Poor's cut the U.S. government's rating from AAA, citing failed budget negotiations and the uncertainty posed by a last minute deal to increase the debt limit, which staved off a technical default. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

The Bureau of Land Management's Montana State Office is calling for public nominations to 16 openings on its Western Montana, Central Montana, and Eastern Montana Resource Advisory Councils (RACs) this year. The deadline for nominations is April 13, 2009.
Individuals may nominate themselves or others to the RACs, which advise the BLM on public land issues. Nominees, who should demonstrate a commitment to collaborative resource decisionmaking, must be residents of the state or states in which the RACs have jurisdiction. The BLM, which has 24 RACs across the West, will evaluate nominees based on their education, training, experience, and their knowledge of the geographical area of the RAC.
All nominations must include a letter(s) of reference from the represented interests or organizations, a completed background information nomination form, and any other information that demonstrates the nominee's qualifications. The background information form is available on the internet at www.blm.gov/mt.
Each council has 15 members who serve staggered three-year terms. Council membership must reflect a balanced representation of the various interests and users of the public lands. These include persons who represent the following categories:
Category 1 - holders of federal grazing permits; energy and mineral development; timber industry; transportation or rights-of-way; off-highway vehicle use; or commercial recreation;
Category 2 – nationally or regionally recognized environmental organizations; dispersed recreation; archeological and historic interests; or wild horse and burro groups; and
Category 3 - elected state, county or local government; employees of state agencies responsible for management of natural resources; Native American tribes; academicians involved in natural sciences; and the public-at-large.
Following are the categories for which the BLM is seeking nominations. Nominations should be mailed to the appropriate field manager.
Western Montana: Three openings in Category 1; one opening in Category 2; and one opening in Category 3. Rick Hotaling, Butte Field Manager, 106 N. Parkmont, Butte, MT, 59701, 406/533-7600.

Lasers are devices that emit a single, coherent wavelength of electromagnetic radiation that is used to cut, coagulate or ablate tissue for a variety of clinical applications. Laser systems produce a variety of wavelengths of varying pulse duration and energy levels. Computer-based imaging and guidance systems allow procedures to be performed precisely, quickly and with greater control. Although lasers are commonly used superficially for cutaneous and ocular applications, smaller, efficient laser delivery systems are available for minimally-invasive applications including endoscopy, bronchoscopy, laparoscopy and endovenous ablation.
The safe and appropriate use of lasers requires a trained clinician with a working knowledge of laser delivery systems and laser-tissue interactions to achieve the desired clinical effect while minimizing complications.
The basic principles of medical lasers will be reviewed here. The use and effectiveness of lasers for specific clinical indications are discussed in separate topic reviews. (See 'Clinical utility of lasers' below.)
Light is electromagnetic radiation within the range of wavelength that is visible to the human eye. Medical lasers produce photons of electromagnetic energy that can be within, above or below this range (figure 1). The ranges of wavelength for each region of the electromagnetic spectrum are as follows:

WASHINGTON - In these days of wallet-busting gas prices, two young Virginia brothers are providing a transportation niche that marries customer savings with an environmentally friendly business.
Jeff and Joey Anderson, who are in their 20s, cannot keep up with demand. Two years ago, the Richmond-area entrepreneurs started a company called BioRide. And in spite of tough economic times, Jeff Anderson says the company has expanded "quite a bit" in roughly the past year.
BioRide is a unique transportation service. The company runs a fleet of new vehicles on biodiesel, which they make from grease they get from local restaurants, and then they pass the savings onto the customer.
"We don't call it a taxi. We don't call it a limousine. It's a bioride," Jeff Anderson says.
Although biodiesel is a major part of what BioRide does, Anderson says they want to change people's perceptions on transportation services. He says the company strives to get creative with customer service.
"Everything is on point. We have WiFi in all of our vehicles. We have an iPad in our executive vehicles," Anderson says.
The driver shows up 15 minutes early and texts clients to let them know he is outside and asks clients if they need anything. He stresses that his drivers have to be very personable.
"People look forward to taking a BioRide. They look forward to meeting their driver," Anderson says.
For Anderson, the smell of French Fries is the sweet smell of success.
"It is true. (Success) smells like French Fries, but very fresh," he says referring to the fumes from burning biodiesel.
