@cougars: White collar crime and theft cause more harm and damages than violent crime. While violent crime seems more severe at first, the repercussions of white collar crime end up affecting more people and destroying more lives. I wouldn't say that $400 would do this, but I just wanted to point out that violence isn't the only crime that affects people.
@Glasshouse: While three strikes probably could use reform, one is still responsible for what one does even under the influence of alcohol. If i get drunk and kill someone but don't remember it, can I get away with it? no. so why do you want him to be granted amnesty for this? I don't think 25 to life should be the answer, but nor should be a slap on the wrist. the state is trying to hold him accountable.

Overexpression of the ERBB2 oncogene is observed in about 30% of breast cancers and is generally correlated with a poor prognosis. Previous results from our and other laboratories indicated that elevated transcriptional activity contributes significantly to the overexpression of ERBB2 mRNA in mammary adenocarcinoma cell lines. Activator protein 2 (AP-2) transcription factors account for this overexpression through two recognition sequences located 215 and 500 bp upstream from the transcription start site. Furthermore, AP-2 transcription factors are highly expressed in cancer cell lines overexpressing ERBB2. In this report, we examined the cooperative effect of Yin Yang 1 (YY1) on AP-2-induced activation of ERBB2 promoter activity. We detected high levels of YY1 transcription factor in mammary cancer cell lines. Notably, we showed that YY1 enhances AP-2alpha transcriptional activation of the ERBB2 promoter through an AP-2 site both in HepG2 and in HCT116 cells, whereas a carboxyl-terminal-truncated form of YY1 cannot. Moreover, we demonstrated the interaction between endogenous AP-2 and YY1 factors in the BT-474 mammary adenocarcinoma cell line. In addition, inhibition of endogenous YY1 protein by an antisense decreased the transcription of an AP-2-responsive ERBB2 reporter plasmid in BT-474 breast cancer cells. Finally, we detected in vivo AP-2 and YY1 occupancy of the ERBB2 proximal promoter in chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Our data thus provide evidence that YY1 cooperates with AP-2 to stimulate ERBB2 promoter activity through the AP-2 binding sites.

Mercredi 16 mai
I should also note that, although called me a bitch in the first experience ( Country Life ) do not think you think of me as a bitch. I have used this term because there is no other that I know, studying for a woman. If I were a man and was throwing everything in sight, I was a hero. I'm just a woman who loves sex as a man does, man, Fanny, I love the cock, the difference is you can get it if you want, people can not before the event and interact with Chief Daniel with customers Arabia, I feel I have to do things in chronological order. This 4porn being the case, I will leave this experience until the next time you read it, I want you ? Now back to this as well, leading to a relationship of true love, but does not interfere with my wild side. Not long after the experience with Mr. X and his son had a couple of fucks another had other farmers who spread the word and, probably, two months later, my boss in June, a lady very pleasant in their early fifties 4porn and very beautiful also called me into his office during lunchtime. The office is a bit dark with the blinds closed against the morning sun. I hope in June and closed the door behind me. He stood and looked at me for a few seconds, and then approached me and said. 'You know, Kate, is there anything 4porn else about you. I do not know what it is, but it seems I do not know, no offense down, but more sensual than the first arrival here,' he told her I was not offended , and I liked the supplement. She came and reached out and touched my waist and put his arm around me and are so close that almost touch them, I asked if I liked working here. I 4porn could not understand what was happening to me, but my body felt strange, and I was confused, but excited at the same time, it is as close to June. - June hand'm now a little on the small of my back, and I felt my mouth dry, but the rest of my body was tingling. June tohave felt and left hand where it was, the other on my shoulder and led me slowly to look at them in my eyes all the time. The next thing I knew was kissing 4porn me, very quietly, but very sensual. At first I was surprised but also excited about 4porn his touch. I felt my body tingling, and my back seemed all his own pulse, you could heat the moisture in it and I've never met a man who feels. From June to the tongue in my mouth and I said, as previously flabby arms around her and pulled her closer, responded to the kiss and tongue. ' touch my breasts, ' she whispered to me, kissing me and I was to meet me at his request, I got my hands in 4porn front of her and pulled the shirt from the rock, I 4porn put my hand in and between their bra and gently caressing her breasts and nipples. ' Ohhhhhh,' he whispered again, still kissing and licking my mouth. One hand fell on my back and felt her pulling up my skirt, her hand was in the context of aFirst of meat on the top of my socks. Damn, I was wet, I could feel my juice runs down my leg and my underwear was completely soaked. June is working hand is upside down, my forehead and on the basis of my pubic hair, then took his pants and pressed into her hand, stroked my hair for a while, then moved his hand down until his fingers found 4porn my wet hole and my clitoris. She had hardly touched me when I 4porn have a powerful orgasm, the first of many, had the lunch break. June started to undress, my skirt fell down, and then pulled down my pants and left me in my shirt, socks and shoes and nothing else. He fell to his knees and licked me so wonderful, that had stood there, my cum next. My whole body 4porn seemed to be crossed by small needles. 4porn June stands up and told me to undress while kissing her. When I did, I grabbed her blouse and bra untrimmed. I was very surprised how toned her body for her age, and hugged and kissed each other naked like thisfor several minutes, until June was separated and took me to the couch on the side of the office. I went ahead and then I paused, then closed his desk in a draw and a thick belt. I had never seen anything like this before, and I was not sure what to do, but in June was kneeling between my legs and kissed the inside of my thigh, and then kneeling, pushed the rubber dick in me. I gasped, and smiled, then leaned forward, seeing my breasts, hips moving in and out of me until I returned. ' My turn,' he said, taking the hand strap and tightened it around my waist. ' I do not know what to do,' I said, smiling June and pulled me to her, leaned over the table and inserted into the valve itself. 'Well,' he said, ' You know, like shit, so fuck me. ' as I did in June came and went. Then I smiled, told me that the lovers will meet regularly and, if I wanted. What could I say but yes, it was a great excodes of practice. One thing is to make a man cum, but being a woman and sperm from another woman out of this world. is impossible to describe the feeling, seeing a woman take, they are fat in and out of her pussy, is that how men think about is the amount of energy that seems to be pushing you in person from other , or in this case, a rubber cock. A bonus was the base of the tail was pushing my 4porn pubic bone as I fucked in June and the combination of this and the excitement of his cursed me out of myself, in the mini -orgasm, my body seemed to fire, so all the time I fucked her. June, I had enough and moved by it, and remove the tape = on, 4porn hugged and licked for some time. Then we have attracted and lunch was over. June is my real fans, men are just shit. The plain old lust. June knows my other interests, but is fine with him. She comes to us many times we go home and delivery to Daniel, but do not know yetaware of it, he jerks, so I think it pisses June, but I can say really. One thing, however, Daniel is not allowed to get into this, in June, celebrates love and ours, nobody will get in this

See also Understanding Floating Point
Packed BCD (Binary Coded Decimal) is a numeric format that was directly supported on cpu's almost from the beginning, and still is today. Simply put, it relies on the fact that 4 bits are more than sufficient to represent decimal numbers. Therefore, two decimal numbers can be held in each byte, a 32 bit register can hold 8 such numbers, and a 64 bit register can of course hold 16. Many cpu's can do BCD math - it's just a matter of having the half bytes carry when their value exceeds 9, conceptually not a lot different than ordinary binary math. It also isn't very hard to write programs to do math on BCD numbers of arbitrary length.
There is also unpacked BCD, which of course is very wasteful of space: 1 byte per numeric digit stored.
If you look at hex representations of BCD numbers, the individual digits are simply read left to right: what you see is what you have (ignoring sign and any exponent). BCD formats are directly human readable without any more math than translating the bit values to numbers.
The advantage of BCD over floating point formats is that numbers can be accurately represented (assuming you have enough bytes to store the number). Floating point is a compromise: some numbers (6.25) can be represented accurately, but most can only be approximated. The approximation is very close with double precision formats, but it is still an approximation.
The disadvantage is range. In 32 bits, IEEE floating point can store numbers in the range of 2^-126 to 2^127 - very large numbers. In the same 32 bits, even if you ignore the need to store a sign, the largest possible number in packed BCD would be 99999999. That's less than 2^27 right there, which is a long, long way from IEEE floating point range. As you also need the sign and an exponent to locate the decimal point, packed BCD obviously needs much more storage space to handle typical numbers. However, people have used this: MBASIC on Tandy Xenix used packed BCD for floating point, and many an accounting package used BCD internally to avoid rounding errors.

I am currently 23 and living at home with my family to help cut the cost down of school but as soon as I graduate I plan on leaving and starting my own life. My mother is currently perimenopausal showing symptoms of hot flashes, mood swings, dryness, etc but can this stage in her life exxagerate mental illnesses? I know that it can cause depression but I feel that my mother has some undiagonised personality disorder (maybe OCD or narriscitc personality disorder she shows symptoms of both) but she believes that all medical professionals (including pychologists) are all out to get her and refuses to think that nothing is wrong with her.
Something is wrong because every night she goes into a fit of rage over the smallest thing, then cry, then either goes to the alcohol cabinet or her xanax stash. I don't believe she has a drug problem because typically she doesn't do this every single night just more nights than most. I don't know what to do than just tell her go see a doctor. It scares me because all my life I have been with her and taking care of her. She literally does nothing around the house. I'm afraid that when I start my own life and finally move out she'll suffer worse.
Is there anything that I can do? Please help.
Hi Anon,
Welcome to EmpowHER. Sorry to hear how you feel about this. Sounds like your mom really should be seen by a psychologist and probably a psychiatrist. It might not be easy to make her see a doctor. But, maybe making day in which you and her can spend sometime alone. Maybe over lunch somewhere or taking her shopping. You might be able to talk to her and explain how you feel about all this and let her know you would like for her to see a psychologist might convince her. Even, if it means you going along with her to see the psychologist, until she gets used to it. Definitely, there is treatment out there that can help her feel better. Please keep us posted.

Good Housekeeping Talks With Michelle Obama
Special Offers
GH: Day to day, how do you two stay connected?
MO: We work out together every day. I usually get up to the gym a little before he does, because I start my day a bit earlier [I have] hair, makeup, things that he doesn't have to do. I continue to remind him of that. He usually gets up there when I'm halfway through, so we spend the morning checking in, watching SportsCenter. And on the weekends we'll catch a movie together, have a quiet dinner.
GH: What has been the toughest personal challenge of the last four years?
MO: Setting up our family in the White House in front of the world, for all to see that has been a challenge. And trying to do it in a way that keeps our kids grounded and feeling like they're first in our life that, too. Figuring out how to take on issues that will be impactful to the country and how to do so with integrity. So with Let's Move [the program for kids' health and nutrition] and Joining Forces [the program that supports military families], for example, it was important to lay a foundation of credibility personally, as First Lady, before we entered those arenas.
That's why with planting a garden, understanding the policy and beginning to have conversations with the spouses of military leaders, setting up an agenda so that we could actually get something done...[I was involved, because] it was important to make sure that we weren't making promises we couldn't keep.
For military families, I've told my staff time and time again, "I don't want to be another disappointment in the lives of families where people have said, 'I'm going to help you' and 'I'm going to do this' or 'I'm going to do that.' If we say we're going to do something, let's make sure we do it."
That's something I've learned from Barack. He has basically done everything in his power to accomplish what he said he would accomplish. We both operate with the value that you do what you say you are going to do or else you just don't say it. Once you lay out goals that you want people to embrace, you've got to follow through.
GH: And what has been your proudest moment as First Lady?
MO: (Sighs) There are many. Some of them I don't want to say, "proud moments," but times when Barack and I feel most relevant are instances when we can give people comfort just by our presence. So we have had a number of unfortunate tragedies since our time here began, and you always try to look at the positive. But being there for a family who's just lost a loved one, a family member; being able to give a hug to a woman who's just lost her husband; spending time with the family of a soldier who's just lost all of his limbs and is 22 years old and has three kids...being able to symbolically, emotionally, and physically be there for people, and knowing that it matters, is something kind of neat about this job.
GH: How do you think your four years in the White House have affected your relationship with your girls?
MO: This experience has brought us closer together as a family. One of the things Barack has just been ferocious about is protecting his time with us. Dinner is at 6:30 P.M. If it means he has to go back and work meetings afterward, he'll do it. You know, he's coached Sasha's basketball team for the last two years. Now, obviously he's an assistant, because there are some Saturdays he's not there.
GH: I'm glad. He shouldn't be in charge of the country and the basketball team.... (Laughing)
MO: You know, basketball is his thing, and when he saw that Sasha was getting the bug, he was ready to jump in there and just be a part of encouraging that. Plus, he loves the girls on the team. He's like, "Those are my girls. I'm so proud."
I'm happy to have a husband who in the midst of this storm is willing to make sacrifices for his family. That's why I'm such a ferocious supporter of him not just because I'm his wife, but because he's somebody who cares about his kids and his family, and he's fighting for the same thing for everyone else.
GH: One last question: Do you pray? And if so, do you have a favorite prayer?
MO: We pray at every meal. Our prayer the kids usually say it is, "Thank you, Lord, for the delicious food. Thank you for our friends and family and everything we have. Hope we all live long and strong. Amen." That's our family prayer, and then we clink glasses. We've done that since the kids were little.
But prayer is a daily part of our lives, because when things don't make sense and in many instances in this role, a lot of stuff just doesn't, and you're looking for your way and you're wondering, Am I going down the right path? the only one who can direct you is God. The only thing is your faith just to say, Stay the course. These times are rocky, but you're doing the right thing. So, yeah, we draw on prayer on a daily basis.
And I'm not public about it, because I think religion is a very personal thing, but you couldn't do this [job] without a higher power keeping you going. I think that's why so many people who inhabit this house have deep religious values, because you don't even try to get here without that. You need something to keep you lifted up. And we have hundreds, thousands, of people who are praying for us every day. I meet them as they stand on lines, and I just tell them, "Don't stop. Send the prayers, because that's what's keeping us tall."
GH: I bet they will. Thank you so much for talking to us.

In August 1963, "The American Way of Death" by Jessica Mitford sold out its first printing on its publication date and topped The New York Times best-seller list for weeks.
Inspired by her husband, Robert Treuhaft, a radical Jewish labor lawyer who was an unnamed co-author of the book, Mitford brought a sparkling British wit to her investigation of the American funeral industry. She focused on such practices as embalming bodies for viewing in ornate, expensive caskets, demonstrating how funeral industry profits had become dependent on these items — and on the inducement of bereaved families, at their most vulnerable, to pay for them.
Mitford's (and Treuhaft's) book struck a responsive chord among millions of Americans, prompted new Federal Trade Commission regulations and gave a significant boost to what is known as the funeral consumer movement.
Fifty years later, what can we learn from "The American Way of Death" as we consider our current Jewish choices for responding to life's final chapter? How have funeral consumer issues been influenced by both religious and secular Jews, and how has the Forward itself figured in the mix?
According to the Babylonian Talmud, the earliest Jewish funeral consumer advocates were rabbis. Confronting the excesses of their time, they noted that "the poor were shamed" by practices that highlighted socioeconomic inequalities in death. These included viewing the faces of the deceased rich while covering the famine-disfigured faces of the deceased poor, and displaying the deceased rich on an ornamented couch while the deceased poor were brought out for burial on a plain bier.
"At first, burial of the dead was for their relatives more difficult than their death [because of the expense], to the point at which relatives would leave their dead and flee," as the Talmud describes it. The rabbis decreed that the faces of all deceased should be covered, and that all should be brought out on a plain bier — "for the honor of the poor." One prominent rabbi left instructions that he be buried in the least expensive shrouds, which also became the ritual standard for centuries.
Notwithstanding these and related reforms for simplicity and equality in death, what evolved as the chevra kadisha, the sacred burial fellowship, was rejected by growing numbers of Jews from the Emancipation onward, along with other institutional forms of traditional Judaism.

Israel to open exhibit on biblical King Herod, the monarch who ruled Jerusalem
A restorer at the Israel Museum works on a reassembled display of what curators say was Herod's tomb in the Israeli museum, Jerusalem, Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2012. Israel's national museum is opening the world's first exhibition on King Herod, displaying what it says are the reconstructed tomb and sarcophagus of one of antiquity's most towering and despised figures. Palestinians object to the exhibit because it displays artifacts from West Bank sites. Archaeology official Hamdan Taha says the project was not coordinated with the Palestinians, and is against international law. The museum says it will return the antiquities when the exhibit closes in 9 months. AP Photo/Daniel Estrin.
By: Daniel Estrin, Associated Press
Israel's national museum said Tuesday it will open what it calls the world's first exhibition devoted to the architectural legacy of biblical King Herod, the Jewish proxy monarch who ruled Jerusalem and the Holy Land under Roman occupation two millennia ago.
The display includes the reconstructed tomb and sarcophagus of one of antiquity's most notable and despised figures, curators say.
Modern day politics are intruding into this ancient find. Palestinians object to the showing of artifacts found in the West Bank. The Israeli museum insists it will return the finds once the exhibit closes.
About 30 tons of artifacts including hundreds of tiny shattered shards pieced back together are going on display at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem in a nine-month exhibition opening Feb. 12.
Museum director James Snyder said the exhibit, "Herod the Great," is the museum's largest and most expensive archaeological project to date.
"It's a name that's always on everyone's lips," Snyder said, "And yet there has never been an exhibit devoted to his material."
Herod was vilified in the New Testament as a bloodthirsty tyrant who massacred Bethlehem's male children to try to prevent the prophesied birth of Jesus. He is also said to have murdered his wife and sons.
Herod was also revered for his ambitious building projects, including his lavish desert palaces and an expansion of the Second Jewish Temple complex in Jerusalem. The Western Wall, today the holiest site where Jews are permitted to pray, was a retaining wall for the compound.
Herod's final grandiose project was to prepare for death. Curators believe Herod constructed an extravagant, 25-meter-high (80-foot-high) tomb. Israeli archaeologist Ehud Netzer spent 35 years of his career searching for it.
In 2007, Netzer drew international attention when he announced he had found what he believed was the tomb at the Herodion, the ruler's winter palace, located on a cone-like hill that still today juts out prominently in the barren landscape of the Judean Desert, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
In 2008, the archaeologist approached the Israel Museum about creating an exhibit that would display artifacts from one of the greatest finds of his career. While surveying the Herodion site with museum staff, Netzer fell to his death. Museum staff pushed forward with planning the exhibit.
In 2011, the museum used a crane to remove dozens of half-ton columns and the roof of what Netzer identified as the top floor of Herod's tomb, which he thought held his sarcophagus. Each stone was affixed with an electronic chip so it could be more easily be put back together at the Israel Museum.
Three sarcophagi were found at the site, and curators believe one was Herod's. Though it bears no inscription, it is made of a special reddish stone, found smashed into hundreds of pieces. The Jewish zealots who took over the Herodion after Herod's death likely smashed the sarcophagus to pieces, destroying the symbol of a man who worked with the empire they were rebelling against, curators said.
"It's not 100 percent. But archaeology is never about 100 percent," said co-curator Dudi Mevorah. "The circumstantial evidence points to one man." The sarcophagus will also be on display.
Archaeologist Joe Zias, who did not participate in the excavation or the exhibition, said he believes the tomb was likely that of Herod.
"It's a monumental tomb out in the middle of nowhere in a place he built for himself," Zias said. "It's as authentic as one could ask for."
The museum exhibit also features a reconstructed throne room from one of Herod's palaces in Jericho, and a full-sized replica of Herod's theater viewing room at the Herodion, incorporating detailed fresco wall paintings and other decorative elements that museum staff collected on site.
There are still pieces of the puzzle left to assemble. At the museum's lab Tuesday, workers were still rushing to fit together all the small stucco wall lining pieces found to display in the exhibit. One fresco wall painting, found in tiny fragments, has taken 2 1/2 years to reassemble.
Other items include the paint jars used for Herod's frescos and plump jugs of wine imported from south Italy labeled in Latin characters, "Herod King of Judea."
The museum's exhibit is almost entirely made up of finds from the West Bank a point of contention with the Palestinians.
Hamdan Taha, the assistant deputy minister in charge of antiquities in the Palestinian Authority, said the excavation and exhibit were not coordinated with Palestinian officials.
"The excavation is another example of utilization of archaeology and history for ideological purposes ... which will not serve to establish comprehensive peace between the two peoples, the Palestinian and Israeli peoples," Taha said.
Taha said excavating archaeological objects from the West Bank without Palestinian permission is in violation of an international convention which governs antiquities in occupied territories.
Museum director James Snyder said he had not received complaints from the Palestinian Authority. He said Israel is responsible for custodianship of archaeology in the West Bank, and that the museum would, in compliance with international law, return the Herodion artifacts to their original site when the exhibit closes.
"It's important we take that responsibility seriously," Snyder said.

Cycling Caps & Neckwear
For road riders, a comfortable and stylish cycling cap is a wardrobe essential. Worn year round, it can either protect from the sun, keep the rain off or keep you warm on mountain top descents. Usually made of cotton or sometimes a light weight wool, every rider should have at least one. The Road Cycling Cap Neckwear From head to toe, preparing for a wintery bike ride can sometimes feel more endeavour than enjoyment, yet when the temperatures drop one place that is nearly always overlooked, yet highly susceptible to icy blasts is the neck area. Very much like the hands, feet and head, making sure this area is covered up will make any ride a more enjoyable experience, so we've included some products that should certainly help to make your next adventure a little more comfortable. |

The 1980 debut of the Giugiaro-designed box on wheels gave buyers a frill-free way to get around without a great sense of urgency. Yet, however slow the Fiat moved on the street, it flew out of dealers' showrooms and was redesigned for 2003. Still a model of simplicity, the popular second-generation Panda is more up-to-date in looks and road manners, but is still a solid choice for basic, durable transportation.

It is designed to be usable by people with basic computer skills who do not necessarily have experience with models. Commuter offers two levels of analysis: Regional analyses can be done on programs covering an urban area, a central business district or a highly-traveled corridor. Site- specific analyses enable benefits to be projected for programs at individual worksites.
Data requirements include the number of people affected, baseline mode shares, trip lengths by mode, and description of the program implemented, including changes in travel time or cost. Gasoline price is an optional input. The user has the option to change default parameters affecting strategy effectiveness.
The model is based on the pivot point methodology used in FHWA's TDM Evaluation Model. Strategies that affect the time and/or cost of travel are evaluated using a "pivot-point" mode choice model. The pivot point model is a derivative of the logit mode choice model commonly used in four-step travel demand models.
Model output includes changes in modal share, vehicle-trips, and vehicle miles traveled, and the resulting emission reductions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, particulates, and carbon dioxide. It also calculates reductions in gasoline usage and total fuel cost savings. Emission reductions are based on the calculated changes in trips and VMT, using lookup tables derived from MOBILE6.

Oh, Those Pestiferous Aphids!
That's why we're looking forward to hearing Bryony Bonning speak on "Novel Toxin Delivery Strategies for Management of Pestiferous Aphids" at the next UC Davis Department of Entomology seminar, scheduled from 12:10 to 1 p.m., Wednesday, April 18 in 122 Briggs Hall.
Aphids, Bonning says, transmit more than 275 plant viruses "that result in considerable economic loss within the agricultural sector."
Now that's a lot of plant viruses!
A professor with the Iowa State University's Department of Entomology, Bonning is closely linked to UC Davis. She's a former postdoctoral research associate in the Bruce Hammock lab, Department of Entomology. Hammock, a distinguished professor of entomology, worked with her from 1990 to 1994. Her specialty: genetic engineering and optimization of baculovirus insecticides.
Bonning returns here Wednesday with lots of credentials. She's an associate editor for the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology; a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS); a member of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, Baculovirus Study Group; and a member of the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses, Dicistrovirus/Iflavirus Study Group.
Bonning received her bachelor's degree in zoology from the University of Durham, UK in 1985, and her doctorate in applied entomology from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, University of London, UK in 1989.
In her abstract for Wednesday's talk, Bonning explains: "Viruses in the Luteoviridae are obligately transmitted by aphids in a persistent manner that requires virion accumulation in the aphid hemocoel. To enter the hemocoel, the virion must bind and traverse the aphid gut epithelium. The molecular mechanisms involved in this process are poorly understood. By screening a phage display library, we identified a peptide that binds to the gut epithelium of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) and impedes the update of Pea enation mosaic virus from the pea aphid gut into the hemocoel. In this talk, the development of two novel aphid management technologies based on knowledge of pea aphid – Pea enation mosaic virus molecular interactions will be described. These technologies provide enhanced delivery of both gut active and neurotoxic peptides."
"I can hardly wait for Bryony Bonning to visit us and present a seminar," Hammock said. "She is one of our most productive alumni in continuing her work on insect developmental biology and green pesticides based on insect viruses and expanded this dramatically into exciting new areas. She is advancing fundamental virology while applying this knowledge in production agriculture in both insect control and in blocking transmission of plant diseases by insects. She clearly is the leader in insect control with recombinant viruses."
Her April 18th seminar promises to zero in on those dratted pea aphids. The more we know about them, the better we can control them.
And the good news is that many of the UC Davis Department of Entomology's seminars will be videotaped and later posted on UCTV.

From Moths to Medicine
From moths to medicine...
When distinguished professor Bruce Hammock of the UC Davis Department of Entomology speaks at the department's noonhour seminar tomorrow (Wednesday, April 6) in 122 Briggs Hall, his topic is sure to draw attention.
Hammock's topic: "Moths to Medicine: Epoxide Hydrolase Inhibitors as Analgesic Agents for Neuropathic and Inflammatory Pain." His talk is the second in the department's spring seminar series.
Hammock began his entomological career studying pest management (insect development), and then added a new dimension, pain management (humans), to his research expertise.
He and his lab were recently featured in an article, "Shotgun Approach to Drugs," published in Chemical and Engineering News.
A member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the Entomological Society of America, Hammock received the UC Davis Faculty Research Lecture Award in 2001 and the Distinguished Teaching Award for Graduate and Professional Teaching in 2008.
Hammock directs the UC Davis Superfund Research Program, which last year received a $13.2 million, five-year competitive renewal grant from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS). He also directs the National Institutes of Health Biotechnology Training Program and the NIEHS Combined Analytical Laboratory.
If you can't make it to his talk, not to worry. It will be webcast and then archived on the department's website. There you can link to other entomology-related webcasts recorded since February 2009.
Professor James R. Carey of the Department of Entomology spearheaded the webcasting of the departmental seminars.

Three University of California entomology professors were among the 10 newly elected Fellows of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) honored at the organization's 58th annual meeting, held Dec. 12-15 in San Diego.
Their selection speaks highly of the caliber of UC professors. No more than 10 Fellows are selected for the honor every year from the 6000-member organization, and this year the UC system has three.
They are Bruce Hammock and Thomas Scott of UC Davis and Thomas A. Miller of UC Riverside.
Hammock, a distinguished professor of entomology, studies "inhibitors of epoxide hydrolases as drugs to treat diabetes, inflammation, ischemia and cardiovascular disease," the ESA statement of his work reads. "Compounds from the UC Davis laboratory are in human trials."
That in itself--from bench to bedside--is unique in the annals of entomology.
Hammock, a member of the UC Davis Medical Center's Cancer Center and the National Academy of Sciences, is not only a distinguished professor but a highly sought-after mentor who draws students to his lab from all over the world.
Scott, who directs the UC Mosquito Research Laboratory at Davis, is one of the key "go-to" researchers studying dengue. When he's not in his UC Davis lab, you can usually find him doing research in Peru, Thailand or Mexico. Scott is especially known for his research on mosquito ecology, evolution of mosquito virus interactions, epidemiology of mosquito-borne disease, and evaluation of novel products and strategies for mosquito control and disease prevention.
Scott is a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and is a past president of the Society for Vector Ecology. He serves as a subject editor for the American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. (More on Hammock and Scott on the UC Davis Department of Entomology website.)
ESA officials pointed out that Miller's research "has included structure and function of the insect circulatory system; mode of action of insecticides; insect neuromuscular physiology; physiology, toxicology and behavior of pink bollworm in cotton fields; transgenic insects; and applied symbiosis for crop protection and biopesticides for crop protection. "
Miller's university teaching includes insect physiology, insect toxicology and first year biology. Current projects include control of bush cricket pests of oil palm trees in Papua New Guinea, oversight of field trials of transgenic grapevines with resistance to Pierce's disease, biotechnology for control of desert locust, and regulatory control of insect transgenic technologies.
In 2003 Miller was awarded the Gregor J. Mendel Medal for Research in Biological Sciences by the Czech Academy of Sciences. That's just one of his many honors.
Indeed, the list of honors and accomplishments for these three UC entomologists could easily fill a book!

Pursuing Relief from Pain
Pest management. Pain management.
Early in his career, entomologist Bruce Hammock, now a distinguished professor of entomology at the University of California, Davis and a newly selected fellow of the Entomological Society of America, probed regulating the development of insect larvae.
Pest management.
Now his interests swing toward pain management, including inflammatory diseases like arthritis.
His is truly a case of "from the bench to the bedside."
Today two UC Davis labs--including Hammock's--and a lab from Peking University, China published an article in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) that is sure to offer hope down the road for those suffering from arthritis pain.
The scientists found a novel mechanism as to why the long-term, high-dosage use of the well-known arthritis pain medication, Vioxx, led to heart attacks and strokes. Their groundbreaking research, done with rodents, may pave the way for a safer drug for millions of arthritis patients who suffer acute and chronic pain.
"This is a major breakthrough that can lead to a better medication for people suffering from acute pain," said Hammock, who has a joint appointment at the UC Davis Cancer Center.
The Hammock lab and two others labs--the lab of cell biologist Nipavan Chiamvimonvat, UC Davis Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, and physiologist Yi Zhu, Peking University--used metabolomic profiling to analyze murine (rodent) plasma. They discovered that Vioxx causes a dramatic increase in a regulatory lipid that could be a major contributor to the heart attacks and strokes associated with high levels of the drug and other selective COX-2 inhibitors, known as "coxibs."
"Our metabolomics study discovered that 20-hydroxyeicosatetrasanoic acid, also known as 20-HETE, contributes to the Vioxx-mediated cardiovascular events," said UC Davis bioanalytical chemist Jun-Yan Liu, the senior author of the paper and a five-year member of the Bruce Hammock laboratory.
Millions of arthritis patients took Vioxx before its withdrawal from the global market in 2004. Vioxx, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) and coxib for acute and chronic pain, particularly for arthritis and osteoarthritis, was on the market for five years. Merck & Co. voluntarily withdrew it in September 2004 due to concerns about the increased risk of heart attacks and strokes.
The chronic administration of high levels of selective COX-2 inhibitors, particularly rofecoxib, and valdecoxib, increases the risk for cardiovascular disease, Liu said.
Urologist Ralph devere White, professor of urology at the UC Davis School of Medicine and director of the UC Davis Cancer Center, described the research as "extremely exciting."
"Vioxx and other drugs in this class were looked on as extremely promising in moderation," devere White said. "The fact that the Hammock lab discovered why the drug could lead to heart attacks and strokes and is able to quantify the deleterious facts is extremely exciting. I hope that patients can safely use this drug in the future or block the deleterious effects so it will have all of the benefits and none of the adverse side effects."
Nationally, some 46 million individuals suffer from arthritis. "And almost one million patients are admitted to hospitals every year because of their arthritis," Hammock said. "They do need effective and safer drugs to relieve their pain."
This research (see the UC Davis Department of Entomology website) will undoubtedly open up new strategies to develop safer coxibs.

Top-Notch Entomologists
Today was a day of recognition for three University of California entomology professors.The Entomological Society of America this morning announced the 2010 Fellows. Each year the governing board can elect up to 10 members as Fellows of the 6000-member society.
The highly prestigious honor acknowledges outstanding contributions in one or more of the following: research, teaching, extension, or administration.
This year...drum roll...three UC professors were among the 10 selected: Bruce Hammock and Thomas Scott of UC Davis and Thomas Miller of UC Riverside.
They will be inducted as Fellows at the ESA's annual meeting, to be held Dec. 12-15 in San Diego.
Hammock and his laboratory are exploiting inhibitors of epoxide hydrolases as drugs to treat diabetes, inflammation, ischemia, and cardiovascular disease. Compounds from the UC Davis laboratory are in human trials.
Diabetes, arthritis and heart patients are closely following his research.
Scott's research focuses on mosquito ecology, evolution of mosquito-virus interactions, epidemiology of mosquito-borne disease, and evaluation of novel products and strategies for mosquito control and disease prevention.
He's a noted authority on the mosquito-borne disease, dengue.
Current projects include control of bush cricket pests of oil palm trees in Papua New Guinea, oversight of field trials of transgenic grapevines with resistance to Pierce's disease, biotechnology for control of desert locust, and regulatory control of insect transgenic technologies.
These three entomologists have published widely--Hammock alone has 763 peer-reviewed publications.
Indeed, their accomplishments could fill several books.

San Diego, UNITED STATES: TO GO WITH AFP STORY-LIFESTYLE-US-DRINK-SECTOR-HEALTH Cans of energy drinks are displayed in a store in San Diego, California 10 November 2006. The kick from caffeine has a growing number of consumers jumping into energy drinks-soft drinks spiked with nutritional aids and stimulants despite warnings from health professionals. The drinks are often aimed at the youth market with edgy names like Rockstar and Full Throttle, and the provocatively named Cocaine Energy Drink, which despite its name contains no illegal ingredients. The typical energy drink sells for two dollars or more per can or bottle, well above the average price of traditional soft drinks. AFP PHOTO/Earl S.

text: CINEMATIC JOURNEY: Bottega Veneta creative director Tomas Maier has probably stayed in more hotel rooms than he cares to remember, but he still sees the allure in travel, particularly when it is done with Bottega luggage and travel accoutrements. The Italian luxury house created a short film about the romance of travel. Directed by Christian Weber and shot in New York last February, "Viaggio Notturno" separately follows a man and woman as they settle in a luxury hotel suite, to an atmospheric score by Texas-based instrumental ensemble Balmorhea. "When the idea of making a film came up, I wanted to show not just the practical side of travel — the luggage, the eye mask — but also what is surreal, romantic, and potentially transformative about a voyage," Maier said. The film launches Tuesday at Nowness.com, and can be viewed at Bottegaveneta.com and the brand's Facebook site and YouTube channel.

Turn energy awareness into action

502nd Civil Engineering Squadron

JOINT BASE SAN-ANTONIO, Texas
-- This October, the Air Force joins the nation in observing Energy Action Month. This year's theme, "I am Air Force Energy," encourages people to do more than just be aware. Instead, military members and civilians alike should take action.
"The Air Force is making excellent progress toward satisfying federal energy mandates," said Rick Stacey, chief of the Air Force Facility Energy Center, a division of the Air Force Civil Engineer Support Agency, Tyndall Air Force Base, Fla.
"The more prominent goals require us to reduce energy intensity 30 percent by 2015, reduce water intensity 26 percent by 2020 and increase renewable energy to 25 percent of all electricity use by 2025," Stacey said. "These goals are getting tougher. People need to do all they can do to help the Air Force continue its energy program successes."
Since 2003, the Air Force has reduced energy use by nearly 15 percent and water consumption by 11 percent. More than six percent of all electricity is obtained from renewable sources. The Air Force energy strategy for meeting these goals is to reduce demand, increase supply and change the culture.
"In fiscal year 2012, the Air Force saved more than $1.5 billion through smarter buildings, new technologies, and more efficient flight operations," said Acting Secretary of the Air Force Eric Fanning. "The smart use of energy means flying our aircraft farther, transporting more cargo, and accomplishing our mission in a more efficient and effective way."
The Air Force uses facility energy audits, utility meters, energy recommissioning, and a variety of other tools to pursue aggressive reduction targets. For example, at Kirtland AFB, N.M., audits led to an upgraded energy management control system that is expected to save $3.7 million over the lifetime of the system.
The Air Force leads the Department of Defense as the number one producer and user of renewable energy. More than six percent of our electric supply comes from on-base renewable energy projects including wind, solar, geothermal, and landfill gas.
In fiscal 2012, the Air Force spent $9.2 billion on energy. The ability to change the Air Force culture and develop a new mindset when it comes to energy depends on its people.
"Every gallon of fuel and watt of electricity we save allows us to have more resources to meet other Air Force priorities," said Kathleen Ferguson, Acting Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment, and Logistics.
"Each individual can - and must - contribute," Stacey said. "No matter how small or how large the action, people will ultimately make the difference. Take a moment to turn off lights and appliances when not in use; make saving energy and water a habit every day; and encourage your family, friends, and co-workers to do their part as well."
Take "ACTION" during Energy Awareness Month. The ACTION acronym stands for: Appliance reduction; Computer log off; Temperature set points; Inform facility managers; Outdoor conservation; and No waste. These are steps that can yield positive results for the community and the Air Force.
· Appliance reduction - Look around the workspace. Is there a refrigerator or coffee maker in the work area? How many personal appliances can be removed or consolidated in common areas like the break room? Reducing energy usage by reducing the number of appliances and machines used can yield significant energy savings.
· Computer log off - Even though people are prohibited from turning off computers, computer users should log off at the end of the day. This ensures that computers will enter the energy-saving sleep mode. Before pulling out the Common Access Card and going home for the day, remember to log off. The Air Force information technology power management team estimates this action alone can save more than $10 million a year.
· Temperature Control - Climate control set points can have a major impact on energy use. Throughout Joint Base San Antonio, the set point for winter is between 68 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit and between 76 and 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer. Be familiar with your base's temperature set point policy. Heating and cooling systems are not perfect, so workspaces may not be at optimum comfort temperatures. Instead of increasing energy demand with space heaters or fans, dress appropriately for the temperature in your facility. If your building is too cool in the summer or too hot in the winter, the thermostat could be set incorrectly, which means the Air Force is wasting energy.
· Inform your facility manager - Report incorrect temperature set points, leaky faucets, blocked air vents, cracked windows and other problems to your facility manager or to civil engineering customer service.
· Outdoor conservation - If you notice a broken sprinkler head wasting water or area lights left on in a parking lot during the day, report it to your local Civil Engineer Customer Service.
· No waste - Don't turn a blind eye to problems. If you see something that doesn't need to be on, turn it off. If you see a problem, report it.
Take time to review daily routines to conserve energy and water. Empower others to take action. Every dollar saved on energy is a dollar that can be spent on Airmen, their readiness and the mission to "Fly, Fight, Win."

Los Angeles Review of Books: On Michael Klein's "The Talking Day"
Matthew Lippman on The Talking Day | The Body is Everywhere: On Michael Klein's "The Talking Day"
Published February 11th, 2013. Excerpt:
I WILL ADMIT THIS: When I first read Michael Klein's new book of poems The Talking Day, I read it too quickly. It took me in, held my head and my body. The experience was like driving down to Cape Cod on a warm Tuesday afternoon, no traffic, a cool wind, the radio on some station that keeps playing Steely Dan songs over and over. When I first opened the book, not really paying attention, and fell into his poem "Ghosts," I was hit hard by the first line: "The body is everywhere." I knew I was in a good place. I want to be completely held by a poem. I do not want to go searching for an open door. Klein's poems let me in immediately. The line — "The body is everywhere" — is earnest, frank, and allows me, as a reader, to step right inside.

'Protect Green' is a campaign designed to target this audience by capitalizing on the common desire of protecting the environment and connecting that idea with FSC's International certification program. We asked ourselves 'in a nutshell' what is FSC? We came up with FSC = Protects forests . Forests = Green. Therefore. 'Protect Green'. A simple message we all can remember and connect with FSC.

So, I had this dream last night in which I had a raging obsession with peanut butter. I refused to eat anything else. In my dream, I went to Walmart in an attempt to satiate my desire for peanut butter. When I got there, I saw a guy I go to school with. He's one of those white guys who draws, talks about, and watches anime 24/7 and desperately wishes he was Japanese. I ran over to him, carrying a jar maked "Blueberry Peanut Butter." (I wish I was kidding.) The contents of the jar were kind of a purplish blue, but it was still peanut butter somehow. He was quite confused, as most people probably would be. I excitedly opened the jar and began to eat the stuff with my bare hands. Then, my dream ended. It was by far the weirdest thing ever. What the hell is blueberry peanut butter, and why was that guy I barely talk to there!? Why can't I have normal person dreams?
I am excited about having all of this week off school, but I hate all the homework I got from my history teacher. I could understand giving us the worksheet and the chapter to read. I do NOT see why the 139247 summaries of article-document-thingies (which take me and most of my classmates an average of about an hour per summary) and the 9 or so questions were necessary. Come on, it's a fucking holiday, woman! Ugh!
Also, I'm gonna be so bored without FCG this week. I hope she's no longer bothered by whatever was making her so weird towards me last Friday. Oh, you guys are gonna love what happened to me Saturday. My mom dragged me to this department store so she could buy some shirts. We passed the underwear section a few times, and there was a giant picture of an underwear model in seductive red lingerie. Why is this relevant? Well, because of her hair, every time I passed by, I mistook the woman for FCG. I felt sooo... awkward...
In other news, I saw the Harry Potter movie today. Two words: Emma Watson.
It has been soooo long since I read the books. We used to have all of them, but I think my mom got rid of them when she was going through her crazy phase a few months ago. She said she might have, and now she wishes she hadn't. Uhh... Anyway, yeah, I loved the Harry Potter series in elementary school. I was a delightful little nerd who would draw extremely crappy fan comics of it, and I was convinced that one day, I'd get my Hogwarts letter. Obviously, I didn't.
I also found out that apparently movie theater popcorn is a lot worse for you than the stuff you pop in the microwave at home. I now feel like the fattest person ever. Oh, well, I guess I can just not eat as much food tomorrow. I reallyyyyy don't want to be fat... How can I get motivated to exercise? I'm inept at sports, and I hate going for walks in my neighborhood because weird people like my chemistry teacher always look at me. I guess I will go for a walk if I have to, but I hate the feeling that anyone can just watch me as I walk.
Anyway, I'm really tired now, so I'll leave you guys to ponder blueberry peanut butter or something. Goodnight!
Haha blueberry peanut butter? Now that's different. I wander what that teste like...
So did I. That reminds me, the girl who was serving me looked a bit like Emma Watson, unfortunately she's my principles daughter and she goes to another school. Emma Watson's so pretty.
* Like what Shaggy said "it wasn't me"*
I don't remember what it tasted like in the dream. I bet it would be kind of gross, though.
She is! When I was like, 10, I had a huge crush on Emma Watson. Haha. It was during like, the 3rd movie, I think.
I didn't think Emma Watson really got hot until the around the fifth movie... but from then on, kabloosh. Mind is blown.
Well, when I look at her in the 3rd movie now, I don't think she's hot either, but I sure did at the time. Haha. She's very attractive now, though, for sure! ;D
i finaly found an excersize i enjoyed, running on the treadmill in a less then fully dressed fashion, but then right after i started getting in the habit, and felt all good and fit and started eating like carrots and celery randomly, my dad broke the tread mill, by dropping the TV on it that he was moving. broke the TV to. double lose :(
"A loving man and woman in a committed relationship can marry. Dogs, no matter what their relationship, are not allowed to marry. How should society treat gays and lesbians in committed relationships? As dogs or as humans?"
Sadly, I don't think I have a treadmill. :(
My dreams are usually MUCH weirder than that... think 3rd graders wearing rainbow bathing suits running through school with water balloons, and a swamp growing under them...I'm probably 1 of the few people in the world who would like blueberry peanut butter. I can imagine how it'd taste, too...mmmm....
I've had some pretty crazy ones, but none involving 3rd graders in rainbow swimsuits and swamps....
I'm not sure if I'd like blueberry peanut butter, but I sure did in my dream!
'He's one of those white guys who draws, talks about, and watches anime 24/7 and desperately wishes he was Japanese.'
My school is full of those.
Shockingly, he's the only one I know of. Wait, no, in the middle school there is a 7th grader that only draws anime. But other than that, we don't have many Wapanese at all...
