The Hard Hat Riot occurred on May 8, 1970 in Lower Manhattan. The riot started about noon when about 200 construction workers mobilized by the New York State AFL-CIO attacked about 1,000 high school and college students and others protesting the Kent State shootings, the American invasion of Cambodia and the Vietnam War near the intersection of Wall Street and Broad Street. The riot, which spread to New York City Hall, lasted little more than two hours. More than 70 people were injured, including four policemen. Six people were arrested.

On May 4, 1970, thirteen students were shot, four fatally, at Kent State University in Ohio during a protest of the Vietnam War and the incursion into Cambodia. As a show of sympathy for the dead students, then-Republican Mayor of New York City John Lindsay ordered all flags at New York City Hall to be flown at half-staff the same day.[1]
The American labor movement was deeply divided over support for President Richard Nixon's Vietnam policies. AFL-CIO President George Meany and most labor leaders in the United States were vehemently anti-communist and strongly supported American military involvement in Southeast Asia. But by 1970, union members were divided in their support for the war.[2][page needed]
One of the strongest supporters of the president's war policy was Peter J. Brennan. Brennan was president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of Greater New York, an alliance of building and construction unions in the New York City area. He was also president of the Building and Construction Trades Council of New York, the statewide umbrella group for construction unions. Additionally, he served as the vice president of the New York City Central Labor Council and the New York State AFL-CIO, umbrella groups for all labor unions in these respective areas.[3][4] Brennan was a registered Democrat who had lobbied strongly for Democrats through the 1950s and 1960s, but increasingly supported Republican candidates as support for skilled labour unions decreased.[3] The building and construction unions were overwhelmingly blue-collar and male, and large majorities of these union members supported Nixon's Vietnam policy.[2]
Shortly after the Kent State shootings, anti-war protesters announced they would hold a rally near City Hall to memorialize the four dead students. Brennan decided to organize a counter-rally of construction workers to show support for the Nixon administration.[3]
At 7:30 a.m. on May 8, several hundred anti-war protesters[5] (most of them high school and college students) began holding a memorial at Broad and Wall Streets for the four dead students at Kent State. By late morning, the protesters—now numbering more than a thousand—had moved to the steps of Federal Hall, gathering in front of the statue of George Washington which tops the steps. The protesters demanded an end to the war in Vietnam and Cambodia, the release of "political prisoners" in the United States, and an end to military-related research on all university campuses.[2][6][7]
At five minutes to noon, about 200 construction workers converged on the student rally at Federal Hall from four directions. Nearly all the construction workers carried American flags and signs that read "All the way, USA," and "America, Love it or Leave it."[8] Their numbers may have been doubled by others who had joined them as they marched toward Federal Hall. A thin line of police formed to separate the construction workers from the anti-war protesters. At first, the construction workers only pushed but did not break through the police line. After two minutes, however, the workers broke through the police line and began chasing students through the streets. The workers chose those with the longest hair and beat them with their hard hats and otherwise.[6] Attorneys, bankers and investment analysts from nearby Wall Street investment firms tried to protect many of the students but were themselves attacked. Onlookers reported that the police stood by and did nothing.[2][6][7]
Some of the construction workers and counter-protesters moved across City Hall Park toward New York City Hall. They mounted the steps, planted their flags at the top of the steps, then attempted to gain entrance to City Hall. Police on duty at City Hall initially barred them, but soon the mob pushed past these guards. A few workers entered the building. A postal worker rushed onto the roof of City Hall and raised the American flag there to full mast. When city workers lowered the flag back down to half-mast, a large number of construction workers stormed past the police. Deputy Mayor Richard Aurelio, fearing the building would be overrun by the mob, ordered city workers to raise the flag back to full mast.[2][6][7]
Rioting construction workers also attacked buildings near City Hall. They ripped the Red Cross and Episcopal Church flags down from a flag pole at nearby Trinity Church. One group invaded a nearby Pace University building, smashing lobby windows with clubs and crowbars and beating up students.[2][6][7]
More than 70 people were injured, including four policemen. Most of the injured required hospital treatment. Only six people were arrested.[2][6][7]
During a press conference that evening, President Nixon tried to defuse the situation before tens of thousands of students arrived in Washington, D.C. for a scheduled protest rally the next day. Nixon said he agreed with everything the protesters were trying to accomplish, and defended the recent U.S. troop movements into Cambodia as aiding their goal of peace.[2][7][9]
Mayor Lindsay severely criticized the police for their lack of action.[10] Police Department organization leaders later accused Lindsay of "undermining the confidence of the public in its Police Department" by his statements,[11] and blamed the inaction on inadequate preparations and "inconsistent directives" in the past from the Mayor's office.[12]
On May 11, Brennan and officials of other unions said that the confrontation had been a spontaneous reaction by union workers "fed up" with violence and flag desecration by antiwar demonstrators, and denied that anything except fists had been used against the demonstrators. Brennan said that telephone calls and letters to the unions were 20 to 1 in favor of the workers.[13] It was generally believed that the action by construction workers was not premeditated,[6] though an individual claimed to have observed that the riot appeared directed.[14]
Several thousand construction workers, longshoremen and white-collar workers protested against the mayor on May 11, holding signs reading "impeach the Red Mayor"[5] and chanting "Lindsay is a bum".[15] They held another rally May 16, carrying signs calling the mayor a "rat", "Commy rat", "faggot" and "traitor".[16] Lindsay described the mood of the city as "taut".[15] The rallies culminated in a large rally on May 20 in which an estimated 150,000 construction and other workers peacefully marched through the streets of downtown New York City.[5][17] Workers in the surrounding buildings showed their support by showering the marchers with ticker tape.[17]
On May 26, Brennan led a delegation of 22 union leaders to meet with President Nixon at the White House and presented him with a hard hat. Nixon general counsel Charles Colson, in charge of developing a strategy to win union support for Nixon in the 1972 presidential election, identified Brennan as a friendly labor leader due to his role in organizing the counter-protests of May 8 and May 20.[2][3][7][18] Brennan later met privately with Nixon on Labor Day.[2]
Brennan later organized significant labor union political support for Nixon in the 1972 election. Nixon appointed Brennan as his Labor Secretary after the election as a reward for his support.[19]

Roadside Encounters: Tugg
Breed: Lhasa Apso
Age: 16 months
Encountered: At Volunteer Park in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood.
Backstory: "Joyful, dignified, mischievous and aloof." That's how the American Kennel Club describes the personality of the Lhasa Apso. The personality of Tugg — while he looks pretty dignified at left – may be completely different, for all I know.
I only spent a couple of minutes with him — most of that taking photographs, which he didn't seem to mind at all — before his human, Amanda, took off.
The breed originated hundreds of years ago in the remote Himalayan Mountains, and served mainly to guard the homes of Tibetan nobility and Buddhist monasteries. Those were near the sacred city of Lhasa.
That explains the Lhasa, but what about the Apso? According to 5stardog.com, there are two theories.
One is that it comes from rapso, the Tibetan word for goat. Supposedly, the breed's coat resembled that of the goats kept by Tibetan herders. Another is that because of the breed's role guarding sacred places, ancient Tibetans referred to it as apso seng kye, which translates into "bark lion sentinel dog."
I don't know which, if either, is right.
The message I got from Tugg — whose face, to me, even without the setting sun dappling it, reflected both wisdom and inscrutability – was that he'd prefer the mystery to remain.

Tibetan earthquake also took toll on mastiffs
The earthquake in northwest China that killed more than 2,000 people and left an estimated 100,000 homeless also took a huge toll on Tibetan mastiffs.
Officials say that 300 Tibetan mastiffs were crushed to death in the small Tibetan town of Yushu when their kennels collapsed in, and those that survived have been running wild and terrified without their owners.
Yushu, the breeding center for Tibetan mastiffs, is believed to be home to as many as 20,000 members of the breed.
The dogs — a status symbol in China, where they can sell at upwards of $100,000 — were once housed in elaborate kennels that lined the only road on the edge of the town. Now, the Times of London reports, they, like their human masters, are homeless.
The relief effort has seen about 8 tons of dog food have arrived in Yushu, where all local supply shops were razed in the earthquake.

Alone on the Ice
The Greatest Survival Story in the History of Exploration
His two companions dead, food and supplies vanished in a crevasse, Douglas Mawson was still one hundred miles from camp.
On January 17, 1913, alone and near starvation, Douglas Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, was hauling a sledge to get back to base camp. The dogs were gone. Now Mawson himself plunged through a snow bridge, dangling over an abyss by the sledge harness. A line of poetry gave him the will to haul himself back to the surface.Mawson was sometimes reduced to crawling, and one night he discovered that the soles of his feet had completely detached from the flesh beneath. On February 8, when he staggered back to base, his features unrecognizably skeletal, the first teammate to reach him blurted out, "Which one are you?"This thrilling and almost unbelievable account establishes Mawson in his rightful place as one of the greatest polar explorers and expedition leaders. It is illustrated by a trove of Frank Hurley's famous Antarctic photographs, many never before published in the United States.
Baker & Taylor
Describes the epic journey undertaken by Douglas Mawson, who suffered starvation, the loss of his team, and a crippling foot injury as he resorted to crawling back to base camp during the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1913.
Book News
In 1913, Douglas Mawson, leader of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition, was the lone survivor of a disaster in the Arctic. Between January 14 and February 8, 1913, he miraculously made his way back to the base camp, unrecognizable and missing the soles of his feet, but alive. This suspenseful narrative tells his story, offering background on the personal histories of the members of the expedition. The book includes numerous b&w historical photos by Frank Hurley, many never published before in the US. Author Roberts has written many other books about mountain climbing and the Arctic.

Add a Comment"Imagine being 100 miles from your base camp in Antarctica with no food and neither human nor canine companions (because they've already died). Oh, and you must avoid hidden crevasses waiting to swallow you up. Find out how Australian geologist Douglas Mawson managed this Herculean task in Alone on the Ice, a well-researched, evocative look at the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-1913. Mawson's amazing, though little-known, adventure (during which he suffered from foot problems, ultimately crawling part of the way back) is a thrilling tale. Readers familiar with Mawson's fellow Antarctic explorers, Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott, and Ernest Shackleton, and those who enjoy survival stories should definitely pick up this compelling book."

So I quit my day job.
No burying the lede here.
It's been one week since I left the trampolines* and it flew by.
Despite my #freedom27 (credit: Olivia) I managed to pack my week. There's a lot of work to be done and I need to remember to be patient with myself. Busy isn't always better.
Still, I'm working on building my book of charts, finishing my new website design and, oh yeah, moving in 19 days. OMG I'M MOVING IN 19 DAYS…I haven't started packing.
As I get a handle on that, I'm also teaching music lessons in Etobicoke and Thornhill** and will start to work on booking more gigs.
The reason I'm not entirely freaked out yet is this new schedule allows me a healthy dose of time to take care of myself. Working out every day, eating when I'm hungry and getting a full eight hours sleep.
I'm a happier me and it will make all of this change a lot easier.
Oh and blogging. Don't forget blogging.
* See what I did there, Saugar? :)
**I still have three lesson spots available if you know of anyone looking!

Toyota Center, Houston, TX
HOUSTON -- Interim Houston coach Kelvin Sampson is always reminding his reserves that there will be some nights when the team's stars will struggle and the Rockets will need them to pick up the slack.
Tuesday was one of those nights.
Toney Douglas had a season-high 22 points and Greg Smith added a career-best 21 to help the Rockets overcome a tough outing by James Harden and rally for a 107-105 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Douglas believes the development of Houston's bench players will be important as the season progresses. Houston's reserves had a season-high 59 points on Tuesday, compared to just 20 by the Lakers' bench.
"That's going to be key, and that's only going to make us more dangerous," he said.
More From ESPNLosAngeles.com
Your drama-a-day Los Angeles Lakers were back at it Tuesday, writes Dave McMenamin. Story
The Lakers had a 13-point lead with less than 10 minutes to go. But Houston used two big runs, including a 9-2 spurt capped by a 3-pointer from Douglas to take its first lead of the game -- 100-99 -- with about 2 1/2 minutes left.
Dwight Howard made three free throws after that, but a bucket by Smith and four free throws by Houston put the Rockets back on top 106-102. Kobe Bryant hit a 3-pointer with 13.3 seconds left to cut the lead to one.
Bryant fouled Douglas and he made one of two free throws with 8.8 seconds left. The Lakers had a last chance, but Bryant missed a 3-point attempt before Metta World Peace missed a layup to give Houston the win.
Harden finished with 15 points and a career-high 10 rebounds, but entered the fourth quarter with just eight points after shooting 2 of 18 through the first three quarters. Jeremy Lin also struggled offensively, going 2 of 8 for four points.
"We had a lot of guys struggle, but our bench was good," Sampson said. "There is a lot to be said about ... having guys on the bench that you trust that can come through. Toney Douglas, Greg (Smith) and Carlos (Delfino), those three guys are special. They were tough for us tonight."
The win is Houston's fifth in the last six games and drops the Lakers to 3-5 under new coach Mike D'Antoni.
Bryant led the Lakers with 39 points and Howard had 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Rockets fouled Howard repeatedly in the last 3 1/2 minutes, gambling that sending him to the line would be better than allowing the Lakers to get the ball in Bryant's hands.
Howard went 5 for 10 from the line in that stretch and was eight of 16 overall.
D'Antoni balked at the notion that he should have taken Howard out so the Rockets couldn't use that strategy.
"If you take him out now, then you'll be taking out a guy that's going to be your franchise player all the time," he said. "We've got other problems to worry about. We shouldn't be talking about him. He's doing a (heck) of a job and he'll work through it and knock them down."
Howard also didn't like being questioned about his free throw shooting.
"People are going to say whatever they want to say, but at the end of the day, go back and look at the game," he said. "The reason we lost was not my free throws. That didn't lose us the game. Our defense was not there in the fourth quarter."
Los Angeles led by 13 before Houston used a 14-4 spurt to close the gap to 94-91 with five minutes left. The Lakers had six turnovers and missed five shots in that span. Bryant finally got Los Angeles going again with a free throw and a bucket to make it 97-91.
The Lakers were playing without forward Pau Gasol, who sat out because of tendinitis in both knees. Antawn Jamison started in his place and had 15 points and nine rebounds.
"You miss him a lot," Bryant said of Gasol. "He's a dominant player. He's an excellent passer, an excellent post player and an excellent shooter. We're missing a lot."
A 9-0 run by the Rockets, which included five points from Delfino, got them within 75-68 with about four minutes left in the third quarter.
The Lakers led 83-73 entering the fourth quarter after Bryant hit a fadeaway jumper as the quarter ended.
The Rockets scored six straight points to get within seven points with 10 minutes left in the third quarter. The Lakers answered with a 7-2 run to push the lead to 67-55 with about eight minutes left in the quarter.
Houston cut the lead to six points with a 3-pointer by Delfino early in the second quarter before the Lakers used a 10-3 run to extend their lead to 46-33 about five minutes before halftime. That run was capped by a dunk by Howard followed by a 3-pointer from Jamison.
The Lakers led 58-45 at halftime.
Game notes
The Rockets are paying tribute to coach Kevin McHale's daughter Alexandra "Sasha" McHale, who died on Nov. 24 at age 23 of complications from lupus, by wearing a green and purple band on their jerseys and a patch of the same color with her initials on their warm-up shirts. Green was her favorite color, and purple is the color that represents the fight against lupus. McHale remains on leave indefinitely. ... Houston's Chandler Parsons scored 13 points for his 10th straight double-digit game. ... Jamison had a season-high three blocks.

Human Genome Project
Name:Karla Schroeder Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
I was watching a documentary on DNA for my science class, and in this video the Human Genome Project was mentioned. I would appreciate it if any information on this could be sent to me.
Thank you.
The Human Genome Project is the biggest biology project ever undertaken. Begun by the Department of Energy as they were looking at the effects of radiation on human genes, the project is now a joint venture with the National Institutes of Health and countless other labs around the world (the International effort is called HuGo, for Human Genome Organization) to try to map and sequence all of the genes in the human genome. The genome is all of the DNA in an organism. This is a huge undertaking, since there are thought to be at least 100,000 human genes on the 46 chromosomes in each of our cells. There are also tremendous benefits to be gained by doing this - many diseases may become manageable and many people may benefit. There are also many questions to be answered, including who should have access to the information about any one person's genes and what should be done with that information. It's a fascinating area for discussion. I hope that you'll have the chance to investigate it further - there are lots of resources. Check your library for more!

Improving the Security of the Populations |
Ensuring security for the populations is the major challenge facing States in crisis or exiting crisis, and the pre-requisite for their stability. The security system (Army, police, law enforcement agencies, legal and penitentiary institutions, elected officials in charge of overseeing them) must be able to ensure the security of persons and goods, whether from the physical, legal, judiciary or economic standpoints, in line with democratic principles. "Security is the top priority listed by the populations of States coming out of conflict and that of States affected by high levels of armed crime. Arms are central to the problem of lack of security, whether actual or perceived, and it is necessary to approach the issue of security from a broad angle" - High Council in International Cooperation. The tie between security and development is now broadly recognised by the main bilateral and multilateral donors. It reflects the realisation that development cannot progress while security is lacking, just as poverty has a direct impact on security. The Reform of Security SystemsFrance takes an active part in the work carried out by the OECD's Committee for Development Aid (CDA) on the reform of security systems (RSS). It abides by the OECD's guidelines, which are based on a broad view of security insofar as it also encompasses the well-being of populations and the freedom to exercise political, economic and social rights. The objective of such a reform, which must be part of a broader governance reform process, is not to transpose a security model, but to come up with approaches and systems specific to each country. Requiring a strong foundation and local ownership, support for the said reforms is formed around the three following thrusts: puceoupas defining a clear institutional framework required to provide security, which makes it possible to incorporate security and development policies by calling upon all of the stakeholders involved puceoupas strengthening governance and building capacity in institutions responsible for overseeing the players involved in the field of security puceoupas building up competent, professional security forces, accountable to civil authorities, and capable of securing respect for the Rule of Law. By targeting the structural causes of lack of safety and vulnerabilities, RSS provides essential leverage for supporting a country's stabilisation and lasting exit from conflict. In that sense, some aspects of its action are complementary with the fight against the proliferation of small arms and light weapons (SALW) or the demobilisation and reintegration processes (DDR). In this field, the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs is committed in particular in the fight against the exploitation of children in armed conflict. |

Eastgates, at the junction of High Street, Gallowtree Gate and Haymarket.
The Clock Tower was "erected by public subscription, aided by the Corporation of this Borough, AD 1868, in memory of four benefactors of Leicester".
From the 12th century hay, straw and other agricultural produce were sold at the site where the Clock Tower now stands. Borough records of this area dated 1260 suggest that there was a mound known as 'Berehill', probably from a Saxon word for barley. In 1484 Berehill Cross stood on the mound and beneath it a set of stocks, pillory, and cage for the punishment of delinquents. Over the centuries the area acquired various names - Barrel Cross, Roundhill (corrupted to The Roundle), Gosewell Gate and Coal Hill.
An Assembly Room was built on the site in 1750, which was used for public dances, concerts, meetings and entertainments. When the new Assembly Rooms in Hotel Street opened in 1801, the old building was converted into separate shops and put to various other uses, including a hay and straw store and a furniture showroom. By 1867, horse-drawn traffic was causing chaos in this area.
The Haymarket Memorial Clock Tower was built in 1868 to form a traffic island and pedestrian refuge, and as a memorial to four local benefactors whose statues stand on the corners of the Tower. A competition held to secure the best design was won by Joseph Goddard, the 28 year old son of prominent local architect, Henry Goddard.
The tower is constructed of Ketton stone with a base of Mountsorrel granite, and incorporating column shafts of polished Peterhead granite and serpentine. The statues are of Portland stone, and were sculpted by a local monumental mason, Samuel Barfield, under Goddard's supervision; Barfield's fee for each statue was £37 10s 0d (£37.50). The clock was supplied by Gillett and Bland of Croydon, and the mechanism of its four dials is connected by a single guide-rod. The Clock Tower is a grade 2 listed building.
The four benefactors depicted on the Clock Tower are:
Simon De Montfort (c.1208-1265). Earl of Leicester and credited with forming the first Parliament in 1265.
Alderman Gabriel Newton (1683-1762), woolcomber, mayor of Leicester in 1732. After the death of his only son, he used much of his wealth to provide educational facilities for the poorer children of the town.

Did you make sure your closing 	 tags are on the same line as the image in your editor.
when i use VS 2003 sometimes i get phantom white space (about the height of a
 tag) below content in table cells. This is because VS puts a hidden line break that sometimes renders. So if your tags look like this:

that MAY help (it does for me sometimes!)
hth, mcm
You can resolve the problem, as you said, by changing the content vertical alignment. It also helps to avoid using tables for structural layout, as this exacerbates the issue.
Note that Gecko shrinks table cells to fit when rendering in Quirks mode, so this problem tends to come as a surprise to many people.

- Download the Tuition Exemption form for UW faculty and staff
- Download the Tuition Exemption form for Washington state employees
Eligible University and state of Washington employees may enroll for and receive a tuition exemption for up to six credits each quarter, provided they enroll on a space-available basis. Eligible students are allowed to enroll for more than six credits and will be charged tuition accordingly for the additional credits. Tuition-exempt students may register beginning the third day of the quarter (UW staff and faculty) or the fourth day of the quarter (all others). Any credits in excess of six are subject to the same "space available" registration dates.
Space-availability applies to degree programs as well as courses, and fully enrolled programs may not have space to accommodate students using the tuition exemption.
The deadline for submitting appropriate tuition exemption paperwork is generally two weeks prior to the first day of the quarter. The exact date is published online in the Registration Guide. Paperwork may be submitted beginning the third week of the quarter prior to the quarter of enrollment. All students participating in the tuition-exemption program will be assessed a quarterly $30 registration fee and must pay other applicable fees, including the technology fee.
Who is eligible?
- University of Washington employees: Permanent classified or contract classified staff who are employed half time or more with six months or more of continuous service prior to the first day of the quarter and faculty/professional staff employed half time or more on the first day of the quarter
- State of Washington employees: Permanent classified or contract employees who are employed half-time or more
- Technical college employees: A permanent classified or exempt paraprofessional employees of a technical college employed half-time or more
- Employees of state institutions of higher education other than the University of Washington: A non-academic employee or member of the faculty or instructional staff employed half-time or more
Note: UW employees pursuing graduate programs or graduate-level coursework claim the amount of the quarterly exemption as income on their federal income tax return unless the supervisor has certified that the program or coursework is job-related. If it is determined that the course is not job-related, the value of the exemption will be considered income and subject to withholding.
Admission status
Individuals who wish to participate in the tuition-exemption program must also apply for admission to the University of Washington Tacoma. Applicants are subject to the same priority application dates as other new students. Individuals wishing to apply as a matriculated student or as a graduate non-matriculated student should contact the specific UW Tacoma program office for details regarding the application process and space availability in the program. New nonmatriculated students should submit an application for admission to the Office of Admissions.
Because tuition-exempt paperwork must be submitted no later than two weeks prior to the start of the quarter new applicants are encouraged to submit their exemption paperwork regardless of their pending application status.
Program participants who are former UW Tacoma students returning in the same classification or as nonmatriculated students should submit their application for admission to the Office of Admissions.
Registration and fees
The Office of Enrollment Services accepts tuition exempt paperwork for the next quarter beginning the Monday after the 10th day of the current quarter. Your paperwork must be received no later than two weeks prior to the first day of the quarter in which attendance is planned. UW Tacoma strictly adheres to this deadline. Paperwork must be complete, including required signatures, or it will be returned to you. Paperwork that has been returned must be completed by the same deadline.
Actual registration for courses begins on My UW on or after the appropriate eligibility dates. A $25 late fee will be assessed if you initially register after the first day of the quarter. Under the tuition exemption program you must also pay the quarterly Technology Fee. You will be billed these fees, and any other applicable fees, plus the $30 tuition exemption registration fee once you have registered for a course.
Students may not register in advance of their assigned date. Students who do register in advance of this date will not be allowed to convert to tuition-exempt status and will be required to pay regular tuition for the quarter.
UW faculty/staff ID cards may be used for library services. Participating state of Washington employees may obtain student ID cards for library services from the Office of Enrollment Services.

In a yeast two-hybrid screen using the full-length Akt as bait, we found that prohibitin 2 (PHB2) specifically interacts with Akt. The C terminus of Akt (amino acids 413-480) and a central region of PHB2 (amino acids 120-232) are responsible for their mutual interaction. PHB2 acts as a transcriptional repressor in cells. PHB2 interacts with both MyoD and MEF2, and represses both MyoD- and MEF2-dependent gene transcription. Furthermore, binding of PHB2 to both MyoD and MEF2 significantly decreases upon myogenic differentiation. When stably expressed in C2C12 myogenic cells, PHB2 inhibits myogenin induction and phenotypic muscle differentiation. PHB2 was found to specifically recruit histone deacetylase 1, which is probably responsible for its repressive activity. Co-expression of Akt can partially reduce PHB2 binding to MyoD and relieve the repressive effect of PHB2 on myogenic reporters, which could be one of the mechanisms underlying Akt-mediated MyoD activation and accelerated muscle differentiation.

Stonehenge has been the subject of speculation and theory since the Middle Ages. Our understanding of it is still changing as excavations and modern scientific techniques yield more information. Yet there are many questions about the monument that we have still to answer. Many of these questions are set out in the 2005 Stonehenge World Heritage Site Research Framework, which is currently being reviewed to reflect fast-moving research.
'A Roman Work and Temple', a plate from Inigo Jones's 'Stone-Heng Restored' (1725). Jones was so convinced that Stonehenge was built by the Romans, because of its geometry and symmetry, that he added another central trilithon to his reconstruction.© English Heritage (J050113)
The first known excavation at Stonehenge, in the centre of the monument, was undertaken in the 1620s by the Duke of Buckingham, prompted by a visit by King James I.[1] The king subsequently commissioned the architect Inigo Jones to conduct a survey and study of the monument. Jones argued that Stonehenge was built by the Romans.[2]
The antiquary John Aubrey surveyed Stonehenge in the late 17th century, and was the first to record the Aubrey Holes (hence their name).[3] His studies of stone circles in other parts of Britain led him to conclude that they were built by the native inhabitants, rather than Romans or Danes as others had proposed. As the Druids were the only prehistoric British priests mentioned in the classical texts, he attributed Stonehenge to the Druids.
Aubrey's idea was expanded by the 18th-century antiquary William Stukeley, who surveyed Stonehenge and was the first to record the Avenue and the nearby Cursus. Among Stukeley's theories about Stonehenge, he too thought it was a Druid monument.[4]

In 1874 and 1877 Flinders Petrie surveyed Stonehenge in detail, and devised the numbering system for the stones that is still in use today.[5]
Concerns about the stability of the stones (especially after one of the sarsen stones and its lintel had fallen down) led to the straightening of a large leaning trilithon in 1901. Professor William Gowland directed excavations around the base of the stone, and based on the finds, he proposed a late Neolithic or early Bronze Age date for Stonehenge.[6]
A further programme of restoration and excavation, led by Lieutenant-Colonel William Hawley, was carried out between 1919 and 1926,[7] when most of the south-eastern half of the monument was excavated.[8]
Excavations being carried out at Stonehenge under the direction of Professor Atkinson in 1958© English Heritage (NMR P50792)
Between 1950 and 1964 Professor Richard Atkinson, Stuart Piggott and JF Stone undertook a new campaign of excavations, partly to resolve some unanswered questions left by Hawley and partly in response to a large programme of stabilisation and re-erection works at the monument.[9] Atkinson proposed a three-stage chronology for Stonehenge.[10] No detailed archaeological report was completed but the excavations were published in 1995.[11]
Excavations in 1966–7 in advance of new visitor facilities led to the discovery of Mesolithic postholes,[12] the 'Stonehenge Archer' was discovered in 1978,[13] and a trench dug alongside the old A344 revealed a new stone hole, for a 'partner' to the Heel Stone.[14]
In 2008, two excavations within the stone circle took place – one with the aim of investigating the early bluestone settings[15] and another to retrieve cremation burials from Aubrey Hole 7.[16] These targeted research excavations have set out to address specific research questions, as part of wider investigations into Stonehenge, its stones and its landscape.
The Aubrey Hole 7 excavations were part of the much larger Stonehenge Riverside Project (2005–9) which included excavations at several monuments in the Stonehenge landscape, including the Stonehenge Cursus, Durrington Walls, West Amesbury and the Avenue. The bluestone circuit excavations were part of the SPACES project (Strumble–Preseli Ancient Communities and Environmental Study) which has included fieldwork in the Preseli Hills and geological analysis of the bluestones.
Excavation in 2008 by the SPACES project led to the discovery of evidence for Roman activity at Stonehenge, in the form of a large pit, seen here in the centre of the trench
There are many research questions about Stonehenge that we have yet to answer.[17] Those listed here are just a selection. A set of research questions for the wider World Heritage Site is set out in the Stonehenge WHS archaeological research framework.[18]
An air of mystery and intrigue will always surround Stonehenge. Over the last ten years, however, our understanding has moved on dramatically – each new piece of evidence has brought answers and established further questions. The story of Stonehenge continues to evolve and change.

News createt: 29-10-2010
Elvis' Gift A Trans-Am
It was two years ago at a classic auto-parts trade show in Las Vegas that Jim Barber was approached by a father and son interested in restoring a 1977 Pontiac Trans Am. He could tell by the conversation that the men had researched both his company Classic Automotive Restoration Specialists in Belews Creek and what their car needed. They were insistent that I look at the car right away. I went with them, and a limo pulled around to take us to the car, Barber said. In the garage, Jason Awad a Las Vegas lawyer showed Barber a dingy, white second-generation Trans Am with damaged red seats and 82,000 miles on the odometer. The hood would not open, and the faulty brakes made the car unable to drive. The power window on the drivers side would not close. Barber knows from his line of work that every car has a story. He was wondering what it was with this one. Awad told him to look at the dash again. So Barber ducked under the drooping headliner and started checking from left to right. He paused when he saw a brass plaque inserted into the red dash. Presented to my friend, Jason. Elvis. Oct. 1976. And then I got what was so special about this car, Barber said. Dear friend Awad had come to the United States from Israel for an education, and was working as a medical technician in a Las Vegas hospital. He also administered inhalation treatments for celebrities between their shows. They would get what is known as the Vegas throat after their 6:30 shows and would need inhalation treatments before the 8 show, Awad said in a telephone interview. I got to know many celebrities, but Elvis became a dear friend. The men were so close that Elvis would have Awad meet him at the airport. Awad said Elvis would slip into his Datsun 240Z even though the car had dings and headlights that didnt line up correctly. Awad thinks his famous friend liked being with him because he felt anonymous. Elvis even on occasion stayed with Awad and his cousin, a Las Vegas doctor. One night in October 1976, Elvis asked Awad for car advice. He said to me, Jace, I need to buy a car for a friend. I told him to describe his friend to me. He said, Hes a nice young man who likes to have a good time. Awad recommended the new Pontiac Trans Am, a car known for muscle and speed. He said that Elvis picked up a phone and called the Pat Clark Pontiac dealership, even though it was 2 a.m. The phone rang and rang until a cleaning person picked up the phone and said, You know were closed. He couldnt believe it was really Elvis so he invited him over to see. The guy came and saw it was true and called the sales manager. Elvis told the sales manager he wanted the newest Trans Am right away, Awad said. The sales manager hesitated because he was not allowed to sell the 1977 model yet. Elvis persuaded him to sell the car off the showroom floor. Awad said they drove away in the new car and stopped at a gas station to fill up. The attendant saw who was driving the car and gas spilled all over the new car. Elvis gave him $100, and we drove to Palm Springs. We were flying. There were no speed limits at the time, and then we came back. When we got back, Elvis said, Jace, you like it? Its yours. Finding the right man Ten months after he presented the Trans Am to Awad, Elvis died, on Aug. 16, 1977. Not long after, Awad switched from his ambition of becoming a physician to becoming a lawyer. He drove his car to San Diego, where he attended law school. As he achieved success as a lawyer in Las Vegas, he kept the car in a garage. His son, Ryan, pushed him to have the car restored. They did some research to find the right person, which brought them to Barber. Barber had grown up in Pennsylvania spending hours with his father tinkering with cars as a hobby. He wound up as a salesman for Eaton, a company that makes automotive parts and components for commercial, regular and classic vehicles. In 1999, he decided to open his own business, first in Walnut Cove, and then moving into his current building, once a former indoor riding arena for Arabia horses. The car has been housed at Barbers shop since January 2009, and every part right down to every nut and bolt painstakingly restored. Typical restoration jobs take 12 to 14 months, Barber said. This one went longer because Awad wanted everything kept as original as possible. Today, the Pontiac 400-cubic-inch engine with its four-barrel carburetor and 350 Turbo-hydramatic transmission gleam as if never driven. The AM stereo with its console-mounted eight-track player is the same as when Elvis first purchased the car. Barbers team embellished the car with the outstretched wings of the giant Trans Am phoenix on the cameo white hood. The desert cooling system, vital for Las Vegas climate, is ready to return to the heat. Barber went so far as to track down the window sticker it sold for $6,165.47 from the now defunct Pat Clark Pontiac dealership. Barber talked with the son of Pat Clark, who told him that the story of Elvis buying the car was retold many times at the dealership. The car is priceless Awad plans to give the car to someone who understands, and thinks it will end up going to the museum in the Las Vegas Hilton, where some of Elvis most famous shows were held. Car experts speculate that the car may be worth as much as $2 million. The restoration topped $100,000. To Awad, the car cannot be assigned a monetary value. This weekend, hell see it restored for the first time. I get tears in my eyes when I think about that night and Elvis giving me that car. He was a Santa Claus for many people, Awad said. He was one of a kind, and I met them all. He was kind and genuine and didnt say anything mean to anyone. A lot of people took advantage of him, but I never asked him for anything. For me, this car is priceless. It may have been the last car he bought.

Impacting Key Issues
Building Inner City Jobs
Former Gang Members Go 'Green'
Photo courtesy of Homeboy Industries
"Nothing stops a BULLET like a JOB!" That is the message that is driven home each day at Homeboy Industries. But it is more than a message. It is a reality. The men and women who gather each day at the organization's Downtown Los Angeles headquarters know that they can find refuge and hope from the harsh violence that plagues their streets.
Homeboy Industries assists at-risk and formerly gang-involved youth to become positive and contributing members of society through innovative and groundbreaking job placement, training and education programs. It has been doing so for more than 20 years. So it's not surprising that the organization has turned its attention to the emerging Green Sector. "Thinking Green" has become all the rage with many U.S. businesses, but few nonprofits can find the resources needed to focus on energy conservation or other green technologies. Global Corporate Citizenship (GCC) is lending its support to Homeboy as it takes full advantage of Southern California's natural and human resources to make green energy a reality.
Homeboy helps people who have been involved in gangs or been incarcerated get a second chance. The organization offers job training, job placement, counseling, and tattoo removal, among other services. For clients who are trying to develop a solid work history, Homeboy provides employment through businesses that it owns and operates, including a catering company, a bakery, a cafe, and a silkscreen shop. All of these services are aimed at giving clients a fresh start in an area with one of the largest gang problems in the nation.
Father Greg Boyle, Homeboy's founder and executive director sees another important consequence of the Program. "The Solar Panel Training Program allows our clients, virtually all recently released from detention facilities, to imagine a future that doesn't include dead-ends, despair and further prison," he said. "With their imaginations engaged and a renewed purpose given to their lives, they are freed to be good parents and spouses. This program is not only consequential for the participants but for the entire community."
What also sets Homeboy apart is its fledgling Solar Panel Training and Certification Program. GCC has provided $45,000 in grant funds to support this effort, which puts Southern California's abundant sunshine and local talent to good use. "Our Solar Panel Program is an exciting one," said Kaile Shilling, associate director of development for Homeboy. "These are hard economic times, and the field of green technology has real growth potential. It's a great time to get on the ground floor of a growing industry and provide people with job skills and opportunities to earn an honest living and provide a role model for others in their community."
Clients who complete the 10-week program often find employment quickly with the assistance of an employment counselor. The Los Angeles Unified School District is upgrading its campuses with solar panels, providing a major source of employment for certified installers. Homeboy Industries hopes to operate its own solar panel installation business someday.
"Homeboy's Solar Panel Program is unique because it helps former gang members build a better life for themselves and their families in a way that benefits the community and the environment," said Kevin Ober, community investor, Health & Human Services for Boeing. "It's not often that we find an organization that strategically touches so many of our core values and focus areas with measurable outcomes. We are very pleased to support their one-of-a-kind efforts."

"With a focus on integrated, active and ongoing learning, we can improve our educational system, accelerate the novice-to-expert timeline and equip future workers to solve the many problems we don't yet know exist."
Jim McNerney, Chairman, President and CEO, The Boeing Company
"Lifelong Cycle of Learning, Unlearning, and Relearning" Excerpted from annual essays on workforce readiness published by The Conference Board 2008
Father Greg Boyle, Homeboy's founder and executive director, sees another important benefit of the Program. "The Solar Panel Training Program allows our clients, virtually all recently released from detention facilities, to imagine a future that doesn't include dead-ends, despair and further prison," he said. "With their imaginations engaged and a renewed purpose given to their lives, they are freed to be good parents and spouses. This program is not only consequential for the participants but for the entire community."
The Solar Panel Program isn't the only part of Homeboy to receive GCC support. The organization also received a $6,000 grant to send one of its own to a highly regarded leadership training program run by the L.A. Chamber of Commerce.
"Many of the Homeboys and Homegirls have innate leadership skills that the gangs were able to exploit early on," explained Jim Herr, senior manager, GCC. "We identified individuals from within the organization who are committed to leading a productive life and have selected a young man to participate in this leadership program. The goal is to not only expand the leadership skills within Homeboy but also add their diverse voice to the broader community through civic engagement and participation."

Ulcerative Colitis - Symptoms
The symptoms of ulcerative colitis may include:
- Diarrhea or rectal urgency. Some people may have diarrhea 10 to 20 times a day. The urge to go to the bathroom may wake you up at night.
- Rectal bleeding. The disease usually causes bloody diarrhea and mucus. You also may have rectal pain and an urgent need to empty your bowels.
- Belly pain, often described as cramping. Your belly may be sore when touched.
- Constipation. This symptom may develop depending on what part of the colon is affected. Constipation is much less common than diarrhea.
- Loss of appetite.
- Fever. In severe cases, fever or other symptoms that affect the entire body may develop.
- Weight loss. Ongoing symptoms, such as diarrhea, can lead to weight loss.
- Too few red blood cells (anemia). Some people get anemia because of low iron levels caused by bloody stools or intestinal inflammation.
Other conditions with symptoms similar to ulcerative colitis include Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and colon cancer.
The Link Between Stress and Ulcerative Colitis
Ulcerative colitis can begin very early. At the age of 12, for instance, Amanda Sina Griffith found herself the object of a custody battle -- and was besieged by painful stomach cramps and bloody diarrhea. "I'd had very mild stomach symptoms before; my doctor thought it was a bacterial infection. But now, it was worse," she recalls. The diagnosis was ulcerative colitis. Now 31, the Norton, Mass., public relations consultant and mother of a 7-month-old still finds that when she's under stress her...

MEDFORD, Ore. — One man is now in police custody after an altercation with his girlfriend ended with a gunshot being fired.
Police said the woman, whose name was not released, was in a physical fight with her boyfriend, Noah Bogart, and tried to get him to leave her house. During the fight, the woman armed herself with a .357 magnum, and the gun accidentally fired into the wall. Bogart threw the gun on a neighbor's roof, and that's when the woman locked him out and called 911.
Police and members of the SWAT team, some armed with rifles, quickly arrived at the scene and arrested Bogart without incident. Bogart is being charged with menacing, harassment, and trespassing. Police said the circumstances of this domestic violence call had them on alert.
"Unfortunately, a lot of our homicides are domestic violence-related. So, we take every domestic violence case very seriously, and when there's a gun involved, even more seriously," said Medford Police Lt. Mike Budreau.
Winchester Street was blocked off for a short time as officers conducted the operation. Officers said they wanted to make sure neighbors and people nearby stayed safe.

Lars von Trier. Lars von Trier (Danish: [ˈlɑːs fʌn ˈtʁiːˀɐ]; born Lars Trier; 30 April 1956)[2] is a Danish film director and screenwriter.
He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective – an avant-garde filmmaking movement – although his own films have taken a variety of approaches. His work has frequently divided critical opinion.[3] Andrei Tarkovsky. Andrei Arsenyevich Tarkovsky (Russian: Андре́й Арсе́ньевич Тарко́вский, IPA: [ɐnˈdrʲej ɐrˈsʲenʲjɪvʲɪt͡ɕ tɐrˈkofskʲɪj]; 4 April 1932 – 29 December 1986) was a Soviet and Russian film-maker, writer, film editor, film theorist, theatre and opera director.
Tarkovsky for me is the greatest [director], the one who invented a new language, true to the nature of film, as it captures life as a reflection, life as a dream. Life[edit] Childhood and early life[edit] Quentin Tarantino. Early life[edit] Tarantino was born in Knoxville, Tennessee in 1963.[6] He is the son of actor and amateur musician Tony Tarantino and nurse Connie McHugh.[7][8] He has a younger half-brother named Ron.
Ridley Scott. Early life and career[edit] Scott was born 30 November 1937 in South Shields, Tyne and Wear in the North East of England,[2] the son of Elizabeth and Colonel Francis Percy Scott.[3] He was brought up in an army family, so for most of his early life, his father — an officer in the Royal Engineers — was absent.
His elder brother, Frank, joined the Merchant Navy when he was still young and the pair had little contact. During this time the family moved around, living in (among other areas) Cumberland, Wales and Germany. He had a younger brother, Tony, who also became a film director. Michel Gondry. Martin Scorsese. Scorsese's body of work addresses such themes as Italian American identity, Roman Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption,[4] machismo, modern crime and gang conflict.
Many of his films are also notable for their depiction of violence and liberal use of profanity. Scorsese has directed landmark films such as Mean Streets (1973), Taxi Driver (1976), Raging Bull (1980), and Goodfellas (1990) – all of which he collaborated on with actor and close friend Robert De Niro.[5] He won the Academy Award for Best Director for The Departed (2006). With eight Best Director nominations to date, he is the most nominated living director, and is tied with Billy Wilder for the second most nominations overall. Alain Resnais. In later films, Resnais moved away from the overtly political topics of some previous works and developed his interests in an interaction between cinema and other cultural forms, including theatre, music, and comic books.
This led to imaginative adaptations of plays by Alan Ayckbourn, Henri Bernstein and Jean Anouilh, as well as films featuring various kinds of popular song. His films frequently explored the relationship between consciousness, memory, and the imagination, and he was noted for devising innovative formal structures for his narratives.[5][6] Throughout his career, he won many awards from international film festivals and academies. Early life[edit] Roman Polanski. Roman Polanski (born Rajmund Roman Thierry Polański; 18 August 1933) is a Polish and, since 1976, naturalized-French[1] film director, producer, writer, and actor.
Having made films in Poland, the United Kingdom, France and the United States, he is considered one of the few "truly international filmmakers. "[2] Polanski's films have inspired diverse directors, including the Coen brothers,[3] Wes Anderson,[4] David Fincher,[5] Atom Egoyan,[6] Darren Aronofsky,[7] Park Chan-wook,[8] Abel Ferrara,[9] and Wes Craven.[10] Early life. Terrence Malick. Early life[edit] Film career[edit] Malick started his film career after earning an MFA from the AFI Conservatory in 1969, directing the short film "Lanton Mills".
At the AFI, he established contacts with people such as Jack Nicholson, longtime collaborator Jack Fisk, and agent Mike Medavoy, who procured for Malick freelance work revising scripts. He is credited with the screenplay for Pocket Money (1972), and he wrote an early draft of Dirty Harry (1971).[14] David Lynch. David Keith Lynch (born January 20, 1946) is an American film director, television director, visual artist, musician and occasional actor.
Known for his surrealist films, he has developed a unique cinematic style, which has been dubbed "Lynchian", a style characterized by its dream imagery and meticulous sound design. The surreal, and in many cases, violent, elements contained within his films have been known to "disturb, offend or mystify" audiences.[2]
Fritz Lang. Life and career[edit] Early life[edit] Lang was born in Vienna as the second son of Anton Lang (1860–1940),[3] an architect and construction company manager, and his wife Pauline "Paula" Lang née Schlesinger (1864–1920).
Fritz Lang himself was baptized on December 28, 1890 at the Schottenkirche in Vienna.[4] Stanley Kubrick. Stanley Kubrick (/ˈkuːbrɪk/; July 26, 1928 – March 7, 1999) was an American film director, screenwriter, producer, cinematographer, and editor who did much of his work in the United Kingdom. He is regarded by many as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time.
His films, typically adaptations of novels or short stories, are noted for their "dazzling"[1] and unique cinematography, attention to detail in the service of realism, and the evocative use of music. Alfred Hitchcock. Over a career spanning more than half a century, Hitchcock fashioned for himself a distinctive and recognisable directorial style.[5] He pioneered the use of a camera made to move in a way that mimics a person's gaze, forcing viewers to engage in a form of voyeurism.[6] He framed shots to maximise anxiety, fear, or empathy, and used innovative film editing.[6] His stories often feature fugitives on the run from the law alongside "icy blonde" female characters.[7][8] Many of Hitchcock's films have twist endings and thrilling plots featuring depictions of violence, murder, and crime. Many of the mysteries, however, are used as decoys or "MacGuffins" that serve the film's themes and the psychological examinations of the characters.
Hitchcock's films also borrow many themes from psychoanalysis and feature strong sexual overtones. Through his cameo appearances in his own films, interviews, film trailers, and the television program Alfred Hitchcock Presents, he became a cultural icon. Coen brothers. Background[edit] Early life[edit] Joel and Ethan Coen, of Jewish descent,[2] grew up in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, a suburb of Minneapolis.[3] Their mother, Rena (née Neumann), was an art historian at St. Darren Aronofsky. Darren Aronofsky (born February 12, 1969) is an American film director, screenwriter and film producer. He has received acclaim for his often surreal, disturbing films and has been noted for frequent collaborations with cinematographer Matthew Libatique, film editor Andrew Weisblum and composer Clint Mansell. His films have generated controversy and are well known for their often violent, bleak subject matter.
Early life and education[edit] Aronofsky became interested in film at Harvard University, where his senior thesis film was a finalist for an award. Ingmar Bergman. Ernst Ingmar Bergman (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈɪŋmar ˈbærjman] ( ); 14 July 1918 – 30 July 2007) was a Swedish director, writer and producer for film, stage and television. He is recognized as one of the most accomplished and influential film directors of all time.[1] He directed over sixty films and documentaries for cinematic release and for television, most of which he also wrote.
