BUSM Researchers Uncover New Possible Approach for Treating Schizophrenia
Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have uncovered important clues about a biochemical pathway in the brain that may one day expand treatment options for cognitive deficits seen in schizophrenia. The study, published online in the journal Molecular Pharmacology, was led by faculty members David H. Farb, PhD, Terrell T. Gibbs, PhD, and Shelley J. Russek, PhD in thedepartment of pharmacology & experimental therapeutics at BUSM.
Patients with schizophrenia suffer from a life-long condition that can produce cognitive deficits, delusions, disordered thinking, and breaks with reality. A number of treatments are available for the treatment of schizophrenia, but many patients do not respond to these therapies or experience side effects that limit their use. There is no current treatment for the cognitive deficits experienced in schizophrenia.
The healthy brain is made up of billions of cells including the primary signaling cells called neurons, that are responsible for managing everything the body does: including movement, eating behavior, and memory formation. These neurons acts like a miniature computer and are controlled by substances called neurotransmitters that, like bits in a computer chip, may be "turned on" or "turned off" depending on the specific signals being integrated. Neurotransmitters latch onto a cell via a specific receptor, like a key fits into a lock.
In schizophrenia, it is thought that certain neurons don't "turn on" as well when exposed to a certain neurotransmitter, the amino acid glutamate, may not be sensed by one of its key receptors (the NMDA receptor) whose diminished function may be the possible culprit for these sluggish cells. It is thought that this deficit can at least partially be responsible for symptoms seen in schizophrenics.
Currently the therapeutic means for making these cells more "sensitive" to glutamate can be toxic to the brain.
In this study, researchers discovered that another, naturally occurring steroid within the brain, known as PregS, may be able to bypass this toxic effect, and "turn on" neuron communication safely through a novel mechanism. The implication is that a deficit in the amount of this novel steroid may underlie deficits in signaling and that stimulation using therapeutics that elevate its levels in the brain may decrease or eradicate some of the debilitating symptoms seen in schizophrenia.
Although still in the early stages, further research in this area may be instrumental in the identification and development of treatments not only for schizophrenia, but also for other neurological conditions, such as age-related decreases in memory and learning ability.

Dr. Earl Gillespie joins Avalere Health as an FDA Policy Fellow in DC
Earl Gillespie, Ph.D., a Postdoctoral Researcher at Boston University School of Medicine and an alumni of the Biomolecular Pharmacology Program, will join Avalere Health in Washington, DC as an FDA Policy Fellow this summer.
According to the Avalere Health website, the highly selective FDA Policy Fellowship Program allows participants to, "spend 6 months immersed in health and life science regulatory policy and strategy issues to help support the efforts of Avalere clients that include some aspect of FDA related issues. Fellows will collaborate within [the] existing FDA team to increase Avalere's presence and visibility as experts and thought leaders in the FDA space."
Dr. Earl Gillespie completed his dissertation work under the mentorship of Dr. Susan E. Leeman, Professor of Pharmacology, and Dr. Arthur F. Stucchi, Research Associate Professor of Surgery, and graduated in January 2013. The title of his dissertation was "Colonic Epithelial Genes in the Transition From Chronic Inflammation to Carcinoma in Colitis-Associated Cancer: Focus on the Truncated Neurokinin-1 Receptor."
We are so very proud of Earl and wish him the best in this new phase of his career!
Junior Faculty Win Career Development Professorships
Hui Feng spends a lot of time staring through zebra fish. Through because these vertebrates, which have a great deal of genetics in common with humans, are transparent. In fact, one particular breed, called Casper—after the Friendly Ghost—is so phantasmal that Feng says that "you can read newspapers through this fish."
Feng doesn't read the news through them, though. The School of Medicine assistant professor of pharmacology and medicine is more interested in tracking the pathways of dyed tumor cells as they metastasize through the zebra fish's vasculature, which is tinted a contrasting color. In the less than two years since her tank-filled lab opened, she has identified genes that, when blocked with targeted treatments, could prevent the metastasis of certain types of cancer, like the most stubborn forms of leukemia.
In recognition of her groundbreaking work, Feng was awarded the Ralph Edwards Career Development Professorship, which recognizes MED researchers. The award was made possible this year by the estate of obstetrician and gynecologist Ralph Edwards (MED'52).
Feng, director of the Laboratory of Zebrafish Genetics & Cancer Therapeutics, says the honor reminds her that University officials appreciate faculty research and they want to support it. "It's not just about the money," she says. "The spiritual or mental support really means so much to us."
Karen Antman, MED dean and Medical Campus provost, recalls the researcher's discoveries early in her career, which found their way to top-tier research journals, including Nature, Cell Biology, Cancer Cell, the Journal of Experimental Medicine, and PNAS. A graduate of Beijing Medical University, Feng completed a master's in cardiovascular pharmacology at Peking Union Medical College and a doctorate in cellular biology at the University of Georgia.
"Since joining the School of Medicine faculty," Antman says, "Dr. Feng has demonstrated an exceptional level of scholarship, mentorship, teaching, and collegiality and quickly established herself as an independent research scientist, effectively and efficiently setting up a robust research program."
Feng is one of three assistant professors who were given career development awards, which recognize junior faculty who have been at the University for less than two years and have held no prior professorships. Cornel Ban, a College of Arts & Sciences assistant professor of international relations, received the inaugural Stuart and Elizabeth Pratt Career Development Professorship, dedicated to CAS scholars. And Nachiketa Sahoo, a School of Management assistant professor of information systems, was awarded the Reidy Family Career Development Professorship, which has recognized faculty members in SMG and the College of Engineering in alternating years since 2010.
Contributions from BU trustee Stuart W. Pratt (CAS'69) and his wife, Elizabeth, and trustee Richard D. Reidy (SMG'82) and his wife, Minda G. Reidy (SMG'82, GSM'84) made the professorships possible.
Each award comes with a three-year nonrenewable stipend used to support scholarly or creative work and to cover a portion of the faculty member's salary. Deans of the respective schools or colleges nominate faculty for these honors, and the Office of the Provost makes the final selections.
"We are extremely grateful to Stuart and Elizabeth Pratt, Richard and Minda Reidy, and posthumously, Ralph Edwards for their generosity and for the vision they've shown in supporting the future of these very important fields," says Jean Morrison, University provost and chief academic officer. These three professors were recognized for "their extraordinary accomplishments in areas of study, passion for the creation and transmission of knowledge, and their efforts to enhance the student experience."
Ban's research has focused on economic issues in Brazil, Spain, and Romania, and spans three principal topics: international finance, international economic organizations, and the diffusion of international economic ideas. He describes his first book, Governing Crises: The International Politics of Crisis Economics from Bretton Woods to the Great Recession, not yet published, as "a cautionary tale about how much we don't know about how the financial markets work." He is an expert on the failure of economic models used by governments or international banks to predict the financial crisis that swept the world within the past decade.
Ban earned a bachelor's from Babes-Bolyai University, in Romania, a master's degree from the University of Delaware, and a doctorate in political science from the University of Maryland. He says the award will give him the time and funding to launch his next book project, which will focus on the dynamics of international finance over the past couple of decades. "Without this kind of support," he says, "I could not get it done."
Andrew Bacevich, a CAS professor of history and international relations and acting chair of international relations, calls Ban an "emerging superstar" in the department. "Since his arrival a year ago, he has become a valued asset," he says. "His performance as a teacher and scholar has demonstrated that he is precisely the sort of young faculty member for whom the Stuart and Elizabeth Pratt Career Development Professorship is designed."
Sahoo holds a master's degree in knowledge discovery and data mining and a doctorate in information systems and management, both from Carnegie Mellon University. His current research focus is on improving personalized information filtering techniques, such as that used by Netflix and Amazon, to help customers find products that best match their past interests. Recognizing that people are dynamic and that their preferences change over time, he has adjusted these filtering techniques so that they show more accurate recommendations across a variety of platforms.
In a separate branch of research, Sahoo is analyzing the messages exchanged between individuals on corporate social media, such as blogs, to identify expertise that exists inside a company.
"New technologies to help people connect to each other are exacerbating the problem of information overload at a personal level," says Sahoo. "There is too much information to sift through and there is limited time. It's important to develop tools and techniques that help us find the bits of relevant information faster."
Sahoo says he will use the award to hire a research assistant to help with data collection and analysis.
"Dr. Sahoo is a wonderful addition to our faculty: a productive researcher, a great colleague, and a committed teacher," says Kenneth Freeman, SMG's Allen Questrom Professor and Dean.

Congratulations, Maya!
Dr. Valentina Sabino honored by The Peter F. McManus Charitable Trust Foundation
The Peter F. McManus Charitable Trust Foundation recently honored Dr. Valentina Sabino for the second time with a grant to research the causes of alcohol addiction. The title of her approved project is "Neurobiological Bases of Alcohol Addiction."
According to Dr. Sabino, "alcoholism constitutes one of the most serious public health problems worldwide. The World Health Organization estimates that about 2 billion people worldwide consume alcoholic beverages, of which 76.3 million have alcohol use disorders. Alcohol is estimated to cause 20%–30% of esophageal cancer, liver cancer and cirrhosis, homicide, seizures, and motor vehicle accidents, causing 3.2% of the total deaths.
This project will systematically explore the role of an understudied receptor system, the Sigma receptors, in genetic and chronic ethanol-induced animal models of alcoholism. The focus will be the Nucleus Accumbens, an important brain region for alcohol and drug addiction, proposed as being the specific region where Sigma receptors mediated neuroplasticity in addicted brains.
These experiments will provide insights into this novel receptor system as a key mechanism involved in excessive drinking and alcohol-seeking behavior and propose a novel therapeutic target for alcohol addiction."
Dr. Sabino received her Ph.D. in Pharmacology in 2006. She is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pharmacology & Experimental Therapeutics and Department of Psychiatry, and Co-Director of the Laboratory of Addictive Disorders at Boston University School of Medicine.
Congratulations, Dr. Sabino!

Dr. Benjamin Wolozin Receives Alzheimer's Association Zenith Fellows Award
I am pleased to share that Benjamin Wolozin, MD, PhD, Professor, Pharmacology and Neurology, was awarded the Alzheimer's Association Zenith Fellows Award. Initiated in 1991, the award provides support for cutting edge basic science or biomedical research that addresses fundamental problems related to early detection, etiology pathogenesis, treatment and/or prevention of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The award is valued at $450,000, which will be dispersed over three years.
The Wolozin Lab won the award with its proposal "It Takes TIA to Tangle: The Role of RNA Binding Proteins in AD." The laboratory already has discovered a RNA binding protein that induces tau misfolding, one of the essential steps that leads to cognitive loss in AD. This award will allow the Wolozin Lab to experimentally induce the misfolding, investigate the factors that regulate the misfolding and in the future, potentially design therapeutics to prevent the misfolding.
Please join me in congratulating Dr. Wolozin on this award.Karen Antman, MD Provost, Boston University Medical Campus Dean, School of Medicine Professor of Medicine
BU Pharmacology Trainee Discovers FDA Approved Treatment for MS
Kenneth J. Rhodes, Ph.D., Vice President of Neurology Discovery at Biogen Idec and an alumni of the Boston University Pharmacology Training Program, led the team of researchers that developed Tecfidera, an oral medication that defends against relapsing Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
The Food and Drug Administration recently approved Tecfidera, also known as dimethyl fumarate, for treating relapsing multiple sclerosis. This new drug delays progression of physical disability and slows the development of brain lesions associated with MS. It also reduces the inflammation caused when the immune system attacks myelin, which ultimately results in less damage to myelin in the body. In a Biogen Idec press release, Dr. Kenneth Rhodes stated that, "these exciting results support further research, as the data suggest that neublastin may have the potential to promote sensory neuronal regeneration and functional recovery following injury. The neublastin program is part of Biogen Idec's commitment to innovative neurological science and discovery."
According to the Boston Business Journal, Tecfidera "tops the list of the biggest potential revenue-generating drugs launched so far this year in the U.S., with expected sales of $2.9 billion by 2018."
Dr. Kenneth Rhodes joined Biogen Idec in May 2007 after spending ten years in the Neuroscience Department at Wyeth, where he also led neurodegeneration drug discovery teams researching MS among epilepsy, stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. He served as a postdoctoral trainee under the mentorship of Dr. David H. Farb, Professor and Chair of Pharmacology at Boston University School of Medicine, from 1992-1993. Dr. Rhodes has published over 50 research papers in peer-reviewed journals such as Nature, Neuron, and the Journal of Neuroscience and most recently was the Keynote Speaker for the 2013 BU-Pfizer Symposium on "Therapeutic Innovation: Oxidative Stress and the Next Generation of Discovery" held November 5, 2013.

Anger Worsens Generalized Anxiety Disorder
"This was surprising to me because irritability, which is part of the anger family, is a diagnostic feature of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)," she said.
GAD is a serious affliction characterized by excessive and uncontrollable worry about everyday things. It often interferes with a person's ability to function normally. Individuals suffering from GAD typically anticipate disaster, and are overly concerned about everyday issues, such as health, money, and relationships.
Deschenes and her colleagues at Concordia and Ryerson University in Toronto looked into how specific components of anger contribute to GAD. They examined hostility, physical and verbal aggression, anger expression and anger control. The team assessed more than 380 participants for GAD symptoms and their tendency to respond to anger-inducing scenarios, by testing responses to such statements as, "I strike out at whatever infuriates me" and "I boil inside, but I don't show it."
The study found that in the 131 participants who exhibited GAD symptoms, higher levels of anger and its various dimensions were associated with worry and anxiety. Furthermore, hostility and internalized anger contributed to the severity of their GAD symptoms.
This suggests not only that anger and anxiety go hand in hand, but also that heightened levels of anger are uniquely related to GAD status. What's more, internalized anger expression - boiling inside without showing it - is a stronger predictor of GAD than other forms of anger.
Deschenes acknowledges that more research is needed to understand why anger and anxiety tend to co-occur - and she intends for her doctoral research to proceed in this direction.
According to Deschenes, a possible explanation for the link is that, "when a situation is ambiguous, such that the outcome could be good or bad, anxious individuals tend to assume the worst. That often results in heightened anxiety. There is also evidence of that same thought process in individuals who are easily angered. Therefore, anger and GAD may be two manifestations of the same biased thought process."
Deschenes also argues that symptoms of anger could get in the way of the treatment for anxiety, which can be done with a technique called cognitive-behavioural therapy.
"If anger and hostility are contributing to the maintenance of symptoms, and these are not targeted during treatment, these people may not be benefiting as much from that treatment," Deschenes noted.
"It's my hope that, by furthering our understanding of the role of anger in GAD, we can improve treatment outcomes for individuals with this disorder," she added.
The study was recently published in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy.

A 4 Non Blondes reunion show to replace Death Grips? I'm so there!
14 in a row = 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012a, 2012b, 2013a, 2013b, 2014a, 2014b
Anyone have any experience with parking in the area? I've parked in the USC garages for fairly cheap before, but to my knowledge those day permits are only valid until midnight.
Do they usually do special event parking that allows for later exits for a higher price?
I would definitely avoid parking in the immediate area if at all possible and try to park near a Metro station if it is at all possible.
I'm always sketchy about parking in the USC area for a number of reasons. Usually I'll suck up and pay a hefty parking fee (like for Shrine shows), but for two days, I might do the Metro. I've never ridden the Expo line before, so is it pretty quick and painless if I ride it from Culver City?
Yes, the ride is about 20 minutes. You will pay a one time fee of $1 for a plastic card that you keep and fill with money when you want to use it. The ride will be $1.50 each way, so you can buy the card and put $6 on it at the same time and then not need to worry about dealing the machine the rest of the weekend. Just tap the cad on the little thing each time you get on the train and you are good to go. it is an above ground light rail train as well.
You guys must have super nice cars that people break into, or just really assume the areas not safe. Park on vermont at a parking meter ( which lasts all day ) for probably $5 at the most ( depending when you arrive ) and walk 10 mins to the fest.
I just think the area is going to be a huge clusterfuck during the festival and it will be much less stressful to just take the train in.
probably just gonna take the metro from the valley, i would assume parking to be a nightmare
My suuuuuper nice '92 Honda Civic was broken into at a HARD Halloween event at The Shrine when I was parked in a USC parking lot.

I think parking at the venue and surrounding parking lots is $20 and its a clusterfuck getting out, Ive parked on the side streets in the area for free and walked a few blocks to the venue too. Its kinda sketch but not as bad as people think.
It all depends on if you wanna pay for parking or not.

I've never been to FYF, so I don't know how crowded it gets, but it's sounding like it'll be their most crowded year just based on the popularity its gained.

Daniel Radcliffe And Life Beyond Harry Potter
By Emmanuel Itier for IF Magazine, 5th July 2007
Daniel Radcliffe has broken new boundaries for himself as an actor this year; he transitioned from the world of the HARRY POTTER movies into the stage world of "Equus" where he had to deal with adult psychological themes and even bear all on stage in front of a live audience every night. Recently Radcliffe has signed with his co-stars to finish out the entire seven film series based on the novels by J.K. Rowling. iF Magazine talked to Radcliffe about working with different directors and what he has planned when HARRY POTTER runs out.
iF: What thought have you given to your career post HARRY POTTER? What would you like to be doing next?
RADCLIFFE: All right. I suppose just keep acting and hopefully do really interesting and different things, and hopefully just continue to find things that are really difficult for me to do, and challenging, so that I don't become complacent… just carry on, really. And, you know, I'd like to write I suppose, as well. That's a very long way away, but it's another thought. Yeah, so for now I just want to continue where I'm going.
iF: Would you write fiction?
RADCLIFFE: No, no, just poems and things.
iF: Does each film having a different director have a different feel on the set or do they all sort of run together?
RADCLIFFE: I'm thinking of getting David Yates into his director's chair and breaking his legs so he can never leave. A grotesque image. Even more important than the fact that David [Yates] had time to talk to us is that he talked to everyone. He's a lovely man and, you know, we're very lucky that he's this fantastic director and delightful man and very, very laid back. He's just fantastic and, you know, we're incredibly lucky to have someone like him to direct us. Also, you know, it was more laid back but at the same time the energy was there and it was a very quiet energy and it was incredibly focused. And he knew from the moment he got on the set the type of story he wanted to tell and the way he was going to do it. So the energy that was there was incredibly focused and there was a real drive and ambition with Dave to make this one better yet.
iF: Daniel, you said in the production notes that you were pushed harder than on any of the other films. Can you talk a little bit about it?
RADCLIFFE: Yeah, it was just this thing that David would come up to me at the end after a take and he'd just say, "That one, that one was good but it wasn't real. You know. You can get it better than that." And there were times when I was thinking, 'I can't!' But actually, in the end I could do it and he was right. But the great thing about David is that he also always knew when he got as far as he was going to get and, you know, and so he's– and you know, I do like to be challenged and that's why Dave came at the perfect time for me because he totally wanted to do that.
iF: Can you talk a bit about the audience and how it may have changed over the years?
RADCLIFFE: Yeah, it's quite unique in a way because it does attract a huge range of people and that, of course, is what's great about it because, you know, Potter, in a way, is one of the few films that– I mean obviously the marketing and all that is targeting certain groups of people, but really it doesn't just appeal to one demographic of people, it appeals to a huge range of them. And then we get responses from a lot of people of all ages and all around the world. Also, as you said (talks to Rupert), the people that were– the amazing thing about it is that the people who were 10 when the first film came out, and indeed were 7 when the first book came out, they've grown up and they're now sort of our age. But the nature of Potter and it's fantastic storytelling means that younger kids are still coming to it. It's sort of got this audience that regenerates itself.
iF: What are some negative characteristics Harry has?
RADCLIFFE: I think Harry does have bad aspects and I think everybody has, in a way. I think he can be, you know, when he lashes out in this film he lashes out at his two best friends, and I think that's something that a lot of people do simply because they know that ultimately they'll be okay. So I think that, I think he can be possibly– I think he can be selfish because he does have this desire to, you know– he feels like he has to live up to this image of himself. But all these people have– this sort of great defender of right and magical things– and so I think he does feel he has to be the hero and so he has to go it alone. So he does try to cut himself off from people. I think those would be a few of them. And also, possibly in the third film, when Snape infers that he's like his father and that he's arrogant, I think there is possibly some truth in that. And we're possibly going to see more of it – I don't know – I don't know, but possibly. And there you go guys… be very diplomatic. J.K. Rowling did say at one point– I remember her saying, because a lot of people had a problem with the fifth book because they said they didn't like Harry's anger in it, they felt he was too angry, and J.K. Rowling did say that if you didn't understand Harry's anger in the fifth book, then you haven't understood the four books previous to it, because if you did, then you would see that he has a right to be this angry.
iF: Daniel, I just saw DECEMBER BOYS and it was a great performance, but there are some similar themes to Harry Potter: loneliness and being an orphan. Tell us a little bit about that and the film you're going to be doing in August?
RADCLIFFE: Okay, yes, DECEMBER BOYS was filmed in Australia in 2005. It's about four boys who grow up in a Catholic orphanage in the outback of Australia, and who are, due to a generous donation to the orphanage, are all sent on holiday in their birthday month, which is December. Hence why they are the DECEMBER BOYS. And it's about they all have a sort of various rites of passage stories while they are away, and I think it's a really sweet, genuinely sort of warm, heartfelt film and hopefully everyone will like it too. As you said, there are similar themes to it. The tally is now up to three orphans, Harry, David and Maps, and yes, there are very similar themes there, but it's a very, very good film. And Maps is very different from Harry because Maps is a lot more restrained than Harry. Harry lets a lot out, and Maps doesn't at all. And later in the year I'll be making MY BOY JACK, which is about Rudyard Kipling and his son who was sent off– who wanted to go– and who was sent to war despite having failed numerous army medical tests because his eyesight was so bad. And so it's a very, very sad story and yes, you can sort of guess that that one doesn't end happily. It's actually a beautiful, beautiful script written by David Haig who's also playing Rudyard Kipling. So it's very exciting, yes.
iF: Which is your favorite scene in the film and why?
RADCLIFFE: I like the scene after the kiss with Cho Chang because we're all just in hysterics, and I think a lot of that was genuine. And I think that day we were just in a really giggly mood. And if you watch it– you can watch me, well all of us, actually, trying to keep it together. Well, I mean it's like that scene in THE USUAL SUSPECTS, there is a scene in THE USUAL SUSPECTS at the very beginning when they're doing the line-up when all of the men are just doing the scene and they're all laughing hysterically, and they can't keep it together at all. And the director was, you know, getting really angry about it because he couldn't keep them under control. And by the end, it actually all really works and they're all laughing because they know each other and in that way it's a very sweet scene because they're all in hysterics. But I also loved doing anything with Sirius.

The Trench Raider II series is definitely something new and exciting. It combines two popular favorites- knives & knuckles - into a WWII styled trench knife! The handle of the Trench Raider has black coated aluminum handles reinforced with steel liners. The handles extend out into nicely couture knuckle guards which protect but are sturdy enough to use on the offensive as well (both the bottom handle and top handle have a pair of guards). The drop point blade is black coated 440 stainless steel (plain). The blade opens with a push of the spine flipper (the knife is spring assisted). Despite the impressive armament the Trench Raider is still relatively thin at only 5/8" thick.

Why such poor treatment?Submitted by: Michael in 29/06/07
- Age Group: 41 - 50
- From: United Kingdom
- Traveller type: Budget Traveller
I visited this hotel and thought it was a very comfortable place to be. On the second evening I wanted to use the pool to swim, but to my surprise the guy at the pool gave me so much hassle. First he would not believe I was a guest and asked for proof, which I went for reluctantly because I could see clearly that he was not going to let me in that pool - could it be that I am BLACK??!! When I returned with the proof he still would not let me in. By now I was convinced that my colour was the reason as the pool was empty, and it was not closing time yet, and he could offer no explanation but to just stare at me with a "where do you think you are going" look on his face. The only time he said anything sensible was when I exclaimed that my colour can not come off, to which he replied "I'm not a racist". Maybe he is just a "colourist"

We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

The ontology team will identify all RNA motifs, or repeated patterns, mentioned in the literature or appearing in databases, to agree upon and write a definition for each motif. The consortium's work will be accessible on the Web to the various RNA research communities using servers hosted at BGSU.
Some researchers focus on the sequences of RNA molecules, while others study their 3-dimensional structures. A major focus of the project will be to integrate the databases of RNA sequences and 3D structure.
Leontis has experience in both areas. An affiliate of the BGSU Center for Biomolecular Sciences and the Northwest Ohio Bioinformatics Consortium, he is known internationally for his work on RNA structural bioinformatics--the field of science in which biology, computer science and information technology merge. Methods he has developed for analyzing and classifying RNA structures have been adopted internationally to advance RNA structure prediction and simulation and RNA sequence analysis. His work is supported by the National Institutes for Health and the American Chemical Society.
Leontis describes RNA molecules as "the software controlling how the genes are expressed to make proteins." They are unique in being able to store and transmit information as well as process that information.
The continuous discovery of new RNA molecules with novel biological functions is beginning to show that RNA plays far more roles than originally believed. For instance, while genomicists had previously determined that humans and

Southcross, TexStar Ink $450M merger
NEW YORK (The Deal) -- Two private equity-backed energy firms are set to combine assets in a deal that the companies said would create a midstream powerhouse serving the Eagle Ford region of south Texas.
Southcross Energy Partners has entered into a definitive agreement to combine with TexStar Midstream Services in a deal that would value a collection of TexStar assets at about $450 million. Terms call for newly formed Southcross Holdings to own equity interests in Southcross Energy and TexStar assets, with private equity firms EIG Global Energy Partners, Charlesbank Capital Partners and Tailwater Capital each indirectly owning about a third of Southcross Holdings.
San Antonio-based TexStar is a privately held gas gathering and processing partnership. Southcross will pay $180 million in cash and 14.633 million newly issued common units for the collection of TexStar assets, creating an Eagle Ford-focused midstream operation with four processing plants, three fractionation facilities and about 3,700 miles of pipeline.
Southcross Energy, of Dallas, is an existing portfolio company of Charlesbank with assets in south Texas, Mississippi and Alabama. TexStar is a portfolio company of EIG Global and Tailwater.Southcross chairman and CEO David Biegler in a statement said the assets to be combined are highly complementary and should help fuel growth. "The transactions create a premier, fully integrated Eagle Ford-focused midstream company," Biegler said. "The enhanced asset base and potential for further drop-downs, we believe, give us a clear path to generate significant distribution and value growth for our unitholders." Post-deal, Biegler would be chairman and CEO of Southcross, with TexStar's CEO to become an executive vice president at the combination. Southcross said it has entered into a commitment for a new, fully underwritten $570 million credit facility to be used to finance the acquisition and to provide additional funds for future growth projects. A Citigroup (C) team including Claudio Sauer and Michael Jamieson is advising Southcross, with Lee Jacobe and Will Byers of Barclays plc working with Evercore Partners Inc.'s Ray Strong, Eric Bauer, Craig Borque and Taylor Moffatt and a UBS Investment Bank Inc. team of Carlos Rivero, Rob Pierce and Ryan Munro to advise TexStar. Jefferies' (JEF) Pete Bowden is financial adviser to the conflicts committee of the general partner of Southcross. --Claire Poole in Houston contributed to this report.

Unbiased Reviews by Real People
Constant problems with ice and water dispensers. Finally got a factory-certified technician who told me that this is a known problem and Whirlpool had actually released a special kit to fix the problem. Yet Whirlpool has not issued a recall nor even a notification of the problem for the 3 years I've been struggling with the issue. I'm out $250 and we'll see how long the fix lasts. I am thoroughly disgusted with the company.

Encouragement. What exactly is encouragement? Let's go get a reference….lets go to Google…
the action of giving someone support, confidence, or hope.
Somewhere built into the inner most part of my being God placed his carefully sculpted the gene of encouragement. As I was created and developed in my mother's womb the encouragement gene grew. Slowly through the years a cranky little toddler became a happy go lucky little girl. That little girl fell into the protective arms of Jesus at the age of five, and not a moment too soon.
The years following and on through my teenage years entailed harsh realities of cruel words and insensitive people. But the encouragement gene was watered with the protective arms of Jesus which allowed this happy go lucky girl to carry on through life. Through many mistakes, hardships, self destructive patterns and blessed joyous events of life,somehow, Encouragement found its way.
As I look back on my 40+ years I am grateful for the happy go lucky. I could never have lived even half the painful days of my life without the blessing of it. A natural gift of grace from our Lord. I also look back at the Encouragment gene he placed within. Another natural gift of grace from our Lord. The ability to draw a smiley face on something and leave it behind for another to find – just to make them smile and creat a brighter day…..Happy go lucky. It's the little things.
For years I wrote. I wrote in a journal. I wrote to family, friends, coworkers, Sunday school class newsletters, anything I could. I was never perfect. Probably even said some unwise things at some point. But my heart always wrote with good intention and encouraging motive to help.
Today I looked over a few things I wrote and it became quite comical to me because I was actually encouraging my 40+ self TODAY. I couldn't help but laugh out loud! Talk about being an inspiration to yourself!
How are you an inspiration? Is it Encouragement? Helping hand? Prayer Warrior? Teacher? Coach? Listener? Look for ways to inspire someone, and don't forget to look at the path you have already taken so that you can inspire yourself.

I feel like I should begin this tale with the classic line "When we last saw Deb she was installing an oil furnace …" It's as though I've been living a TV show this past week. The furnace was installed at the end of last week and early this week. Then, Rob and I dove headfirst into the world of happy home ownership by attempting to complete the list of repairs the bank has requested. Somehow we learned how to re-attach and fix vinyl siding, how to measure for, fix and install screen doors on patio sliders, and how to remove, and re-install a leaking pane of a thermal bay window. Truthfully, all went well. Rob climbed all the necessary ladders. Ordinarily I'd have wanted to help with the repairs too. Our only dilemma was how to remove a brittle old window from its frame. Unfortunately it broke. But, it was destined for a garbage can anyway, so one mistake wasn't too bad. We did re-install the newly ordered pane without much ado. We then proceeded to make our first decorating decisions by picking new paint colors for every room of the house.
I feel like I'm living someone else's life. Two short months ago we had no intention of purchasing a home. We didn't even think that any bank would take a second look at us. Now, here we stand, making our first repairs -- on a home that's not yet ours. We're facing the opportunity to move Jacob and our new baby out of our current small city, back to the country-life we knew as kids. It's so rewarding to watch Jacob's face light up every time we make that drive. As he sees the new house he starts squealing in his car seat and talking about the birds, crickets, grass, flowers, trees … all the things we remember and have missed living in our current city.
Just as Rob and I were becoming content with our decision and the knowledge that we'd close on the house on Wednesday of next week, we received several pieces of unsettling news. Rob had to take off work to help resolve these issues before we could settle. We planned a fairly relaxing day that included some packing, dinner, a rented movie and hopefully, Jacob going to sleep early. We no sooner arrived home than I made a beeline for the bathroom, as any pregnant woman who had been stranded at a vacant house for six hours would do. That's when my real worries began … I saw blood. I immediately kicked my husband off the phone and called the doctor's office. Twenty very stressful minutes later one of the midwives called me back. Fortunately, she determined that the baby was not in any immediate distress, but invited me to come in right away for a quick fetal heart check; an invitation I gratefully accepted.

Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (NASDAQ:CLNE)
Provider of natural gas as an alternative fuel for vehicle fleets in the United States and Canada, based on the number of stations operated and the amount of gasoline gallon equivalents of CNG and LNG delivered.
There can be little doubt that natural gas usage is the way forward in US energy independence. Clean Energy Fuels is farther along in developing a distribution network than is anyone else. The focus on truck fleets is a sound short-term strategy, and the possibility of a mass auto market in the future would mean huge profits. It's always possible that larger players will become distributors in a mass-market scenario, but CEF's head start gives them an opportunity to compete against the big players. They don't need to dominate the mass market, just have a piece. The recent sell-off gives a great entry point.

I've seen something similar to this before - it's a bit worrying!
I think it's best to set servers to download updates and prompt when they're ready rather than auto-install; that way you avoid potential problems like this.
Now can you fix my Exchange problem? May be a bit more difficult because I think the builders have turned off the power (they're moving a sub-station and were supposed to give us notice ...) Just have to do without email until tomorrow :-)

Ann Romney and Working Moms
|Thu, 04-12-2012 - 11:26am
Hilary Rosen has started a Twitter firestorm by stating that Ann Romney isn't capable of giving advice on women and the economy since she's never worked a day in her life:
|Thu, 04-12-2012 - 1:00pm
Why does this remind of the criticism Hillary Clinton got for her remark about SAHMs and not being one of those mothers slaving away at cookies in the kitchen? Lol.. I don't know a lot about Ann Romney but I thought she was a law graduate like her husband, And didn't she practice that for a while? She doesn't come across as someone who would make a stand about what women should or should not do, Had Santorum and his wife gotten this far maybe...

Hi Irene,
About two months ago, a close friend and I moved in together. At first, I was very excited about our new living arrangement and assumed that it would only strengthen our friendship. However, living with this friend seems to have had the opposite effect.
I know that living with a friend can be difficult and I anticipated arguments over things and annoyances over things too. But as of yet, we haven't had any issues. Our friendship just seems to be slowly dissolving.
Part of me thinks that this has to do with the fact that we no longer identify as friends, but rather as roommates. We no longer do the friend-type things that we used to do (e. g., go for drinks, go for dinner, take trips together). We still do things together, but now it is more like a chore. We go to the supermarket, we go to the pharmacy, we go to the hardware store, etc. We still spend time together, but the time that we spend together is no longer fun.
I want to tell my roommate that I feel like I am losing her as a friend but I am not sure how to go about it. Like I said, nothing bad has happened between us. But it seems like she has forgotten that we were friends before we were roommates. What do you think I should do?

Very agreeable.
Not feeling like the typical jean-shorts and a tank outfit? Pull on the Nikita Agreeable Jumpsuit. This soft, comfy cotton jumpsuit has spaghetti-strap shoulder ties, a wide waistband, and a semi-fitted, not-too-bulky and not-too-tight fit.

Shocked- it looks cool!
I was so stoked to try this on... and actually have it look good on me! Most of these one piece jumpers make me look dumpy as hell...It's a little baggy on the midsection, but otherwise has a good fit. Roomy enough for a size L body without being tight and unflattering around the waist and thighs.
