Histone methylation is crucial for regulating chromatin structure, gene transcription and the epigenetic state of the cell. LSD1 is a lysine-specific histone demethylase that represses transcription by demethylating histone H3 on lysine 4 (ref. 1). The LSD1 complex contains a number of proteins, all of which have been assigned roles in events upstream of LSD1-mediated demethylation apart from BHC80 (also known as PHF21A), a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger-containing protein. Here we report that, in contrast to the PHD fingers of the bromodomain PHD finger transcription factor (BPTF) and inhibitor of growth family 2 (ING2), which bind methylated H3K4 (H3K4me3), the PHD finger of BHC80 binds unmethylated H3K4 (H3K4me0), and this interaction is specifically abrogated by methylation of H3K4. The crystal structure of the PHD finger of BHC80 bound to an unmodified H3 peptide has revealed the structural basis of the recognition of H3K4me0. Knockdown of BHC80 by RNA inhibition results in the de-repression of LSD1 target genes, and this repression is restored by the reintroduction of wild-type BHC80 but not by a PHD-finger mutant that cannot bind H3. Chromatin immunoprecipitation showed that BHC80 and LSD1 depend reciprocally on one another to associate with chromatin. These findings couple the function of BHC80 to that of LSD1, and indicate that unmodified H3K4 is part of the 'histone code'. They further raise the possibility that the generation and recognition of the unmodified state on histone tails in general might be just as crucial as post-translational modifications of histone for chromatin and transcriptional regulation.

Anna Irinarchos {swedish designer}
I think I could go on blogging about the things I discovered in Stockholm forever – and I only visited for 4 days! I can't imagine spending a year or even a lifetime there, it seems the design well is never dry – there's always something new and exciting to learn about. I found out about Anna Irinarchos recently because I spotted her Magnet pendant light in a magazine (I think the Swedish Elle) and thought it was so cool because it's magnetic, so you can personalize it however you'd like.
After clicking around on her site, I then discovered that she is one half of a design firm called wis design, with lots of additional products. Like this gorgeous piece. Double-drool.
I identified it immediately due to Emma who blogged about it recently, it's called the Decades chest of drawers (thanks, Emma!) It was made using discarded drawers found at flea markets. Is this a great idea or what? I think it's very Wary Meyers, I can see them looking for street castaways in New York and pulling together something like this. It's also very Anthro. I wonder if this dresser will end up in a future catalog? I think Anthro buyers frequently hop planes to Scandinavia sourcing for products and inspiration because as I strolled Stockholm, I could see them selling just about everything I found there. And can you blame them? There is so much beauty and innovative design, especially in Sweden, Anna Irinarchos and Wis Design is just another example of this fact.

Your comments...
That chest of drawers is fantastic! What a great idea!
.-= Kim´s last blog ..Queen Marchesa =-. -
i saw a dresser project like that somewhere once before…..i've always wanted to try it, but my carpentry skills would need a boost. the most i ever did was take a drawer out of a tall dresser, slide in a piece of plywood, and use it to keep my VCR – the tv was on top of the dresser. i kept all my movies in the drawers.

Measurement of Solute Transport in the Endothelial Glycocalyx Using Indicator Dilution Techniques

A new method is presented to quantify changes in permeability of the endothelial glycocalyx to small solutes and fluid flow using techniques of indicator dilution. Following infusion of a bolus of fluorescent solutes (either FITC or FITC conjugated Dextran70) into the rat mesenteric circulation, its transient dispersion through post-capillary venules was recorded and analyzed offline. To represent dispersion of solute as a function of radial position in a microvessel, a virtual transit time (VTT) was calculated from the first moment of fluorescence intensity–time curves. Computer simulations and subsequent in vivo measurements showed that the radial gradient of VTT within the glycocalyx layer (ΔVTT/Δr) may be related to the hydraulic resistance within the layer along the axial direction in a post-capillary venule and the effective diffusion coefficient within the glycocalyx. Modeling the inflammatory process by superfusion of the mesentery with 10−7 M fMLP, ΔVTT/Δr was found to decrease significantly from 0.23 ± 0.08 SD s/μm to 0.18 ± 0.09 SD s/μm. Computer simulations demonstrated that ΔVTT/Δr is principally determined by three independent variables: glycocalyx thickness (δ), hydraulic resistivity (K r) and effective diffusion coefficient of the solute (D eff) within the glycocalyx. Based upon these simulations, the measured 20% decrease in ΔVTT/Δr at the endothelial cell surface corresponds to a 20% increase in D eff over a broad range in K r, assuming a constant thickness δ. The absolute magnitude of D eff required to match ΔVTT/Δr between in vivo measurements and simulations was found to be on the order of 2.5 × 10−3 × D free, where D free is the diffusion coefficient of FITC in aqueous media. Thus the present method may provide a useful tool for elucidating structural and molecular alterations in the glycocalyx as occur with ischemia, metabolic and inflammatory events.

Reconstructing Frank Lloyd Wright
Jeff Baker
The campus of Florida Southern College boasts the world's largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, including the Annie Pfeiffer Chapel.
Wright designed the Esplanade as covered walkways to protect students and faculty from intense sun and driving rain.
In 1938, Wright designed a Usonian house as faculty housing for Florida Southern College, but the plans languished unrealized, until now.
Block by block, Wright's 1938 design is being reconstructed based on his floor plans, elevations, and renderings. The concrete mix was reformulated to look just like the original; yet it's lighter on sand, impervious to water, and better able to withstand the elements.
The stack-bonded blocks are called "textile" blocks for the vertical and horizontal reinforcements woven between them.
Frank Lloyd Wright worked in 36 of the 50 United States, plus in Canada, England, and Japan. Were you to embark on a quest to find a bunch of his buildings all in one place, you'd probably think to start in Illinois. You might then hie it north to Wisconsin. Or Michigan. Or west to California. But Florida? Not so much. Yet in Lakeland (between Orlando and Tampa, population about 100,000), on the campus of Florida Southern College, stands the world's largest single-site gathering of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings.
Starting in the mid-thirties, Florida Southern hired Wright to design a total of 18 projects. Twelve were completed between 1938 and 1959 (the year he died); they include administration buildings, chapels, a library, and a covered walkway. Known as the Child of the Sun collection, Wright's work for Florida Southern College was the longest-lasting commission of his storied career.
Six of Wright's 18 designs for Florida Southern College were left unbuilt—until now. One of the six unrealized projects, designed in 1938 as faculty housing, is a Usonian house. (Quick refresher: Wright's Usonian houses were his depression-era efforts at affordable, production-style housing using materials like brick and concrete.) Many Usonian houses were comprised of "textile blocks," ornate stack-bonded concrete blocks named for their vertical and horizontal reinforcements. Wright left floor plans, elevations, and renderings behind, and it's from these that a team headed by architect Jeff Baker, principal with Mesick Cohen Wilson Baker Architects, is recreating the Usonian house designed for the campus, block by block.
It's been a painstaking project. "Tooling up for this was like building the first Model T," says Baker, who reports that the team went through 50 different cement mixes for the textile blocks. The concrete mix, much less water-permeable than Wright's original, "will replicate the original appearance, without replicating the original failures," says Baker. There are 70 different mold designs for the textile blocks that comprise the interior and exterior walls.
In the end, rewards are far outweighing frustrations: Baker, who says he became an architect because of Frank Lloyd Wright, calls working on this project "one of the great joys" of his life. "There's no other way I could have achieved this kind of profound learning about Wright's processes—executing the house brings forth questions that would never come to light, even with deep examination," he says. "It took serious time and expense to create this one little house, but hopefully we'll be able to use what we learned to better be able to evaluate the other original buildings."

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)FOREIGN AID FAILURE: Doctors Without Frontiers leaves Somalia
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
August 14th, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) Charity clearly has its limits. The international medical charity Doctors Without Frontiers, also known as Medecins Sans Frontieres, or MSF has begun closing all its humanitarian operations in Somalia due to attacks on its staff. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Unni Karunakara, MSF's international president gas reluctantly acknowledged that the charity's departure would cut off hundreds of thousands of Somalis from medical help. The withdrawal is seen as major blow to the government's effort to persuade Somalis and foreign donors that security is improving in spite of a stubborn Islamist insurgency."The closure of our activities is a direct result of extreme attacks on our staff, in an environment where armed groups and civilian leaders increasingly support, tolerate or condone the killing, assaulting and abducting of humanitarian aid workers," Karunakara told reporters in Nairobi, Kenya. Somalia is vainly attempting to haul itself out of 20 years of conflict and to provide such necessary public services such as health and education. As an example of the ongoing problem, two female Spanish aid workers employed by MSF were freed by their Somali kidnappers after almost two years in captivity last month. The MSF shut down two major medical centers in the Somali capital, Mogadishu early last year after two members of the international staff were shot dead by a former colleague in the heart of the government-controlled city. Fourteen other MSF staff members have been killed since 1991 when civil war erupted in the country. " . we have reached our limit." The MSF have always negotiated with armed groups and authorities on all sides and even resorted to hiring armed guards, something it does not do in any other country, Karunakara noted. In the years following its civil war, Somalia still lacks a central government. In its absence, Somalia's residents reverted to local forms of conflict resolution, consisting of civil law, religious law and customary law. A few autonomous regions, including the Somaliland, Puntland and Galmudug administrations, emerged in the north in the ensuing process of decentralization. Essentially, the nation is in a state of anarchy. The situation there poses sticky questions in regards to foreign aid. Should the world send help to a nations that does not request it? Where does the funding for food and medicine go? Without a central government, it's not far off the mark to suppose that these funds are winding up in pockets - far, far away from those who desperately need it.

Double Standards Thailand
Why is it that Thaksin's wealth & financial affairs have been thoroughly investigated, studied, even had books written about, yet the question of how various Generals (including Privy Councillors like Surayud) obtained their wealth is just swept under the carpet?
In fact, Thaksin's financial dealings have been so thoroughly investigated that the only way his enemies can get him is by spurious or overly technical nitpicking type legal arguments.
It astounds me that a prima facie case can clearly be made against the Generals just by a simple calculation of their wealth compared to their salaries, yet they are left alone - a protected species!
On the other hand we have Thaksin: How he got his wealth is well documented (including a little help from a certain General:)
He was already fabulously wealthy before he became PM, and does not appear to have increased that wealth during his term in office by any more than similarly wealthy peoples fortunes increased during the same time.
If there really was a benefit gained from policy corruption under Thaksin, then the prosecutors need to show not just a loss to the state, but they need to show where the money has gone.
To my mind, something just doesn't add up between Thaksins assets from before becoming PM to after he was ousted. The only conclusions I can draw are either that there was no actual benefit from the policy corruption, or a lot of his wealth had already been squirreled away before he was ousted.
Prima facie there seems to be no case against Thaksin, and a clear case against the wealthy Generals - thats a double standard in my book!
Other clear examples of double standards are:
- TRT & PPP get dissolved, while The Democrats evade punishment for what appear to be much worse corruption deals, and they even got all manner of outside help to form a government!
- PAD/yellows invade/occupy an international airport and the leaders are still roaming free after refusing to acknowledge any charges against them, and have even formed a political party (yet when the UDD/reds merely mention they will hold a rally, the Internal Seturity Act gets invoked, or threatened to be invoked)
- Sondhi Limthongkul and other PAD/yellow leaders are free (encouraged even) to make hateful speeches, drag the monarchy into politics, and almost start a war with a neighbouring country, yet others like Darunee Charnchoensilpakul, Suwicha Thakor & Boonyuen Prasertying are locked up for years, and they and their families forced to endure great hardships all because they spoke their minds, wanting a free & fair country for all Thai's.
- The 2003 'war on drugs' resulted in many extra-judicial killings, and Thaksin was heavily involved in its implementation. Like Thaksin and others, I hate drugs, but I could never set myself up as judge, jury & executioner. The fact that nothing has come from any of the investigations into the war on drugs is another double standard, although this time Thaksin is also a protected species!

While the main thrust of your argument is valid, why generals wealth is not investigated, in real life it doesn't hold much water as an example of double standards.
They are not political office holders and are not subject to the same rules and scrutiny.
Surayud got his Khao Yai house as a gift, afaik. When he was appointed PM he disclosed his assets to NACC or whatever it was called at the time.
We don't have mass demonstrations against generals, even reds managed only to raise the issue of Khao Yai.
Thaksin's dealings have only scratched the surface, considering how he had no shortage of funds stashed overseas to invest in this and that and no one knows where they came from.
TRT was dissolved mostly for condoning electoral fraud while Democrats did everything they could to rectify it, in that particular trial. I don't know of any "much worse corruption deals". - January 26, 2010 at 11:54 AM
- Hobby said...
StanG: Just Google something like 'Democrat Party and 258 million baht donation'.
Also, are you saying no generals have ever held any political office, ministry or portfolio? If so, please check again.
The double standard in Thailand is that certain people/groups are protected species, and others are persecuted & turned into enemies of the state.
Here's some homework for you StanG: Try to find if there is any common thread linking the protected groups. - January 26, 2010 at 12:19 PM
Whilst there might be (probably is) good reason to investigate many other people in Thailand, Thaksin appears to have changed so many rules/laws to suit his own circumstances, that the blatency of these actions is obvious to all and shold be contested.
To say that "he" did not become any more wealthy than other astute investors during his time in office is not the point.
He is being accused of having created circumstances by using his power/influense/entitelments as PM to benefit companies (AIS) and members of his family in ways not available to others so they would be advantaged by these changes - often at the expense of other companies and/or individuals.
To say he is not the first politician, or other "influential person" to have done so in Thailand (or elsewhere), when circumstances made it possible, is not a legitimate excuse for not going after him.
History will judge whether or not the charges were brought on him in a way which represented double standards. And he might have just cause to bellyache about this. But, it does not make the charges any less valid or important for the courts to decide on. - January 26, 2010 at 12:33 PM
- Hobby said...
Anonymous: I am not opposed to Thaksin being investigated, I just think there is an obvious pattern in whats happening.
IMO, all wrongdoings should be investigated, and the judgements should be transparent.
I still think something does not add up regarding the policy corruption allegations - either the Shinawatra/Damapong clans have stashed away heaps (in which case there should be a money trail), or the benefits from the alleged policy corruption are greatly exaggerated (and possibly negligible or nil).
The more I see the asset seizure case discussed, the more I am starting to believe that they (you know who:) think they can get away with what they did on the Pojaman land case - could not prove any real corruption or benefit, but convicted on a technicality and imposed a very harsh penalty.
It is a double standard when the rules are not enforced consistently, and anyone who thinks that Thaksin has been treated evenhandedly over the last 3 years, is clearly biased (or a fool:) - January 26, 2010 at 1:14 PM
- John Francis Lee said...
The double standard is transparent and incontrovertible. All four of your bullets are glaring examples, with bullet number one the shiner most ignored by the Thai MSM.
As regards prosecuting Thaksin... bankrupting him really, a la Singapore in the lee of justice' breeze... the difficulty is in how to admit enough of the workings of the criminal machine termed "government" in Bangkok to "get" Thaksin, but not enough to impair its continued "production" for those applying the double standard.
A real prosecution of Thaksin would blow the lid off... and they cannot have that.
And yes, certainly the Thai military is THE impediment to anything resembling a democratic government in Thailand, and "the generals" in Thailand, as the generals in Burma, are the chief beneficiaries of the "policy corruption" that is government in Thailand. - January 26, 2010 at 5:47 PM
- davidb98 said...
thanks Hobby....
what you say all makes sense to me
the others are clutching at Sondhis coattails, not really thinking for themselves...
eg. our mate Anonymous who says "often at the expense of other companies and/or individuals." mmmm, I wonder who those companies and individuals were? for example all the telecom companies benefited from changes he made, actually at the expense of his company...
there is talk of TOT and CAT losing but the government got the money direct instead of through them... and it was better for his competitors as well as being in line with world policy changes at the time ... bit complicated for someone brainwashed by Sondhi on behalf of the generals
the bankers were all really happy, it was just the corrupt generals dealing in drugs, lottery and other businesses that were upset at Thaksin threatening their income streams - January 26, 2010 at 5:56 PM
- StanG said...
Democrats and 258 million donations - it was in a run up to 2005 elections, three elections and five governments ago, and we first heard of it when PTP brought it up five years later, and all they have to go on is a fax to one of Democrats' offices, and people who were possibly responsible are not with the party anymore.
Party contributions in Thailand have always been a murky business and singling out Democrats for that is a double standard itself.
The only enemy of the state is Thaksin, there are no others at the moment.
There are at least two government programs under investigation right now.
Reds went to fight double standards in Khao Yai, against ONE out of 247 owners holding land there illegally.
It's a bloody circus. - January 26, 2010 at 6:48 PM
Davidb98,you don't know anything about me and I find your comments quite out of line.
You acuse me of having taken my views from Sondhi with nothing to substantiate your acusation with.
I also mostly agree with Hobby's comments - no argument with most of what he says. In fact I hold his opinions rather highly - because he is willing to stick his neck out,usually backed with valid comments. He avoids personal cheap shots.
I also read John Frances Lee and StanG's comments regularly as well.
Whilst I don't always agree with them, I do respect their opinions.
As I have never heard of you before, I can't say if you're full of "it" or not - so I won't comment further. - January 26, 2010 at 6:56 PM

Great post Hobby. There is extreme hypocrisy in Thailand regarding what constitutes corrupt practice. Aside from the military spending huge budgets on overpriced inessential equipment you have the police and politicians and other connected officials openly taking bribes and significant kickbacks. I know a policeman who lives in an 86 million baht condominium overlooking the Emporium who owns steel mills, buys racehorses from Australia and is protected 24/7 by armed security guards. A few years ago he was promoted to be the youngest Police general in Thai history.
There are many politicians who have enormous declared wealth compared to their earnings but who never get investigated because they happen to be the right "color". It would be a waste of time investigating all these instances because in my opinion just about everyone is involved. What I would rather see is more openness and honesty as to the level of corruption instead of pretending it doesn't exist. Just let the military form a Government and forget about elections and constantly talking about democracy when clearly nobody wants it. - January 26, 2010 at 8:07 PM

"It's a bloody circus"
At last I agree with you on something StanG:) - January 26, 2010 at 9:07 PM

I thing the "why" questions are more like rethorical :)
coz most of us already know the answers - January 31, 2010 at 10:30 PM
- antipadshist said...
by the way - curious news is that someone has found some reason to close Sanam Luan to public for very clever (or rather funny ?) reason : to catch thousands of pigeons. you can see photo on Nation website "testing net for pigeons"
this is quite convenient reason - so coincidentally right before red shirts rally, huh ? ;)
and in some Thai Forums it has been already discussed, and gov. officials made a statement already "no, we didn't make this decision because of red-shirts, but because these birds really causing a lot of problems"
smart ! :D - January 31, 2010 at 11:47 PM

Hobby, since your "epiphany" which seems to have been after your recent trip to Chiang Mai, I have become concerened about your change in stance. Previously, you were one of the more objective English Language commentators, on the Thai "situation".
Whilst I agree, "the reds are not going away", and they have some "just causes", I take issue at your equally "double stand-ed" approach to present events.
It will be great, if they can expose the so obvious "double standards", which exist in Thailand. But, you (as do many blogger/commentators)fail to address the just as great "double standards" of the Reds, PTP and so on, from the other side.
That people like Jatuporn can just come out and make outrageous statements, which are little more than lies. Here is someone who is prepared to say,today's rally and all the other recent Red events, have nothing to do with the events on next Friday, is a lie.
The fact that the Reds and the PTP accept "control" from Dubai only makes things worse.
Stand up for what you believe in - not what your were told in Chiang Mai. - February 19, 2010 at 8:10 PM
I would expand my comments on the "double standards" of the Reds, to the issue of today - Prem's supposed involvement, with providing a "favorable" situation to people involved with, establishing a golf club.
What about the involvement of some of the Reds "patrons" in the Alpine Golf Club "affair" ?
They won't touch that with a 40 foot barge pole - for obvious reasons.
More, what have any of these issues got to do with bettering the lives of Thailand's poor?
They only involve the rich and poweful.
Will they go near the overriding influences, of so many local puu yais, who exploit their constituents?
I don't hear much, or anything about that.
This is something which could help those in need almost immediately.
The Reds seem to have equally double standards, when it comes to practicising democracy.
I will never forget seeing Karen Percy on Australia Network asking Jaturporn when he was arrested after the Songkran riots, when she asked him what he was figthing for.
He said, parrot fashion (I thought), "err, ahh democracy".
She then aske him, what that meant.
The look of bewilderment on his face, was priceless.
It was as if he hadn't rehearsed the next line and so, couldn't answer.
I thought her reports on Thailand were fairly poor and cliched, but this time, intentionally or not, she nailed the entire "Red" movement.
There is a lot wrong with this country and the way it is governed, but the Reds are not the answer.
Let us all hope,after next week, the smoke can clear and perhaps - and it is a BIG perhaps -
some real leaders will emerge, to give all Thai people the chance to make the most of this most wonderful land and give the people the oppotunities to really create, a proper and equal society. - February 19, 2010 at 8:43 PM

Thanks for the comments GeGee - my 'ephiphany' as you call it was not that I am a now a Thaksin fan, or a fan of any particular politician for that matter (and especially NOT Jatuporn).
I remain 'song mai ow', but what I have belatedly realised is that if forced to choose in a two horse race, then I think only one horse has a chance of facilitating the change necessary to make things better for the majority.
Previously I thought it better to be rid of Thaksin first, but now the folly in that view is clearly apparent, as the old guard have shown time and again that they are incapable of changing their spots.
The people should be the ones who decide who they want (or rather who they think is lesser of two evils) - thats the major 'ephiphany' I have had from the Chiang Mai trip.
The other 'ephiphany' was regarding how Da & Suwicha have been treated (and the ongoing threat to others) - the silence from those who could stop this has been deafening, and frankly it's subhuman.
I could go on but............... - February 20, 2010 at 6:23 AM

The choice is between authoritarian government and democratic government.
The fact that the authoritarian branch is a well-oiled machine and that the democratic branch is quite rough does not sway me.
Can you really prefer perfect authoritarian stasis to even rough and ready democracy and the possibility, indeed the eventuality of freedom and change?
The choice for democracy is not unlike the choice for a 'sufficiency economy', as it's termed.
Can you really prefer the wild, consumerist, open-ended, ponzi scheme that must lead to disaster to some form of natural, self-sustaining existence on the planet?
The 'official' proponents of the 'sufficiency economy' are a cynical bunch who see its utility for keeping "them" down; in consequence its 'official' opponents are those who attack those proponents, and then the 'sufficiency economy' as the program of its proponents.
The same sort of dichotomy goes in the authoritarianism vs democracy 'contest'.
The 'official' proponents of democracy, as defined by the authoritarians and the MSM on their behalf, are a cynical bunch who note its utility for bringing "them" down, and so its 'official' proponents promote democracy as such.
But the real contest is between consumerism and life within nature, on the one hand, and between authoritarianism and democracy on the other; not between the characters aligned with any one side or the other.
All our feet stand in the same clay yet the aggressive, the ruthless, the greedy are propelled to the fore by their greed, their ruthlessness, and their aggression.
For them, any philosophy, any ideology, any advertising slogan that might seem to suit their aims will do.
No one will remember the names of the tawdry players in this melodrama of the MSM in a generation's time, yet all will cherish, or take for granted, democracy ascendant. - February 20, 2010 at 8:12 AM
We both agree change is needed. Like you I am mostly "song mai ow".
But where we differ, is that I think you will accept change, for the sake of change.
If those who seek "real" change are still prepared to get into bed with the "red" devil(s) what hope do they have of being able to do anything to help the people.
Do you really think that if the Red alliance (for want of a better term) with scallywags like Chalerm and Jaturporn doing the bidding of their Dubai based master and the gung-ho old soldiers, like Seh Deang, Panlop and the pompous Chavalit, got to hold the reigns of power, that things would change for the better ?
Like them or not, at least the "other side" now has a few reasonable young and well educated people who granted are still lumbered with a lot of old dinsours and so are having a hard time of it. But on the red side I don't seem to see any apart from Jakrapob, Jaturporn who could be considered "young" and in charge.
So why jump out of the frying pan into the fire, just to destroy any semblence of a workable society.
They tried that in Europe a hundred years ago - look where it got them ? - February 20, 2010 at 8:17 AM

Democracy or the status quo - you choose?
Thaksin was voted in - he can be voted out (cannot say the same for the other side) - February 20, 2010 at 9:15 AM
Don't go down that path. Thaksin was not voted in, after he threw away the results and decided to have another election - which was conducted under very cloudy circumstances.
He was not PM and not even caretaker PM, when the coup ocurred.
That the present government arrived at their position in less that satisfactory ways, is true. However, the members were voted in, just as the previous Samak and Somchai governments were.
Abhisit was voted PM by the house members, as per the constitution.
That a number of politicians decided (for I agree, lees than transparent reasons) to cross the floor, is not un-democratic. Even the 1997 constitution allows for this.
And if you think that putting Thaksin and/or Thaksin allies into power will create a more democratic Thailand, I would ask where were you, in the years 2000-2006 ?
I was here and what I experienced, was increasingly becoming less democratic, by the day.
This was largely because one man believed he could "do no wrong" - to quote someone else... - February 20, 2010 at 9:22 AM
- hobby said...
Sorry, GeGee, but I see no point discussing with you if you still believe that stuff after all this time.
As for Democracy under Thaksin, I have never said it was perfect, however I am just not wasting time with anyone who still believes a military coup was the way to remove him, and a judicial coup the way to keep anyone associated with him from arising (btw, the judicial coup is ongoing, and they think they can knock him out next week) - February 20, 2010 at 9:51 AM
I am equally dissapointed in you - that you follwo the drivel handed out by the reds.
I never said the coup was justified.
I am of the belief that if things had been left to be, by now Thaksin and his mob would have been shown up as the con men they are.
Democracy was not perfect under him.
It certainly wasn't and was about to disappear - do you want that back ?
I guess you are prepared to sup with one "devil", just to get rid of another "devil".
That solves nothing.
At least one knows what is in need of change now.
It is not "stuff" as you call it.
Don't be so blind. - February 20, 2010 at 9:57 AM
- hobby said...
Its not my country, and its not a matter of me 'supping with a devil' - the Thai people should be allowed to decide (without inteference from those outside, or above, politics).
The big thing in Thaksins favour is that he was always happy to go to elections to let the people decide - can you say that for his opponents? - February 20, 2010 at 10:31 AM
Yes, we are but spectators in this game - albeit in my case, at least - with vested interests in the country and its people.
As for Thaksin, being always at the ready, to go to the people, I would add to that; as long as he is assured of winning.
And before you say it, I know, he is not the only player to put such faith in a vote - as long as he can win.
But, what must be remembered, is that a win at an election doesn't give any government the right to do what they want and ignore those who didn't vote for them.
You would no doubt agree,Thailand has suffered for too long with politicians and "elites"(of all sides)who pay little attention to ALL people.
My concern is that I do not see any group/party, who will govern for all Thais.
This is why I suggest that there is little to be achieved by suporting this current crop of "activists", who trade under the RED banners and their associates in parliament.
I say the same about the "Yellow activists", too, just in case you ask.
The Thais I feel sorry for, are those who out of desperation, are willing to support the leaderships of these "colour groups", because they believe they offer a chance of a "better life" - when in fact their leaders are only in it for themselves. If they happen to do some good along the way, so be it.
But that is just a "side effect".
That Thais who believe they are "left out" are beginning to rise up, is a good thing and a "side effect" of the Thaksin years.
However, I doubt this was his intention. If he had stayed in power, I believe that by now, the blow torch from people who are in the broad church of the "Reds", could very well have been on him and his cronies.
Sadly, you cannot change the past. So, we will never know. But, I think there is plenty of evidence to indicate, this would have happened through "natural causes".
Creating a coup caused many more problems, than it solved.
But, I also doubt the "new society" being ushered in before the coup, was going to be any more successful than what had been in place, before it, or have now.
There is much wrong here.
I think Federic Ferrara (Khi Kwai)says much of what I believe, about what is wrong in Thailand.
The problem I have - as an observer - is that like nearly everyone else, I cannot see a path that will bring true democracy to Thailand. Nor, do I see a long term and sustainable solution to the plight of those "missing out".
I hope this gives you a better idea of my thinking - muddle headed, or otherwise ! - February 20, 2010 at 11:29 AM
- hobby said...
Agree about KhiKwai, and also think Handley has some good insights about why democracy has not been allowed to develop.
I dont like any of the politicians on offer - its the nature of the beast IMO - I dont like any in my country, so why should I like them in another country.
It's the system I am more concerned about, and how democracy has been held back.
One side wants to keep that 'puu yai knows best' system, and the only other side available in this contest offers some hope for change (albiet slow, and probably rocky)
Tell me, who among the Thai commentators (activists, academics etc) do you think is a voice of reason?
I'm trying to learn more about such Thai's, and so far I have not found any on the yellow side.
The ones I have found to be somewhat sensible are Dr Weng T, Nitthi Eiewsriwong, Thitinan Pongsudhirak and Somsak J.
Of the reporters, Pravit seems head & shoulders above the rest. - February 20, 2010 at 11:45 AM
- hobby said...
btw, Thaksin to me is the lesser evil, not the savior.
- February 20, 2010 at 11:55 AM
I'm sorry but as I have enough trouble speaking Thai, (yes I do feel guilty about that) and my reading skills are just about non-existant, I will go with the names you present. But, if the paucity of critical analysis in English (from Thai people) is any indication, I don't hold out much hope for being able to find any more in depth commentary, in Thai.
BP is as good as any (he's not Thai) and am always greatful for his translations from Thai, to English commentary.
I know from reading you for some time and across many blogs, you don't see Thaksin as a "saviour".
But my belief is that him "returned and forgiven", and/or allowed to continue to play a part in this game, would be a very big mistake for Thailand.
Even in exile, he's still in charge.
He controls most of the debate and dictates the agenda.
I think history - if the country can pass through this period and develop into a true working "democracy" - will show him as being the "great deceiver"
As for your comment about democracry being "held back", I would nominate Thaksin and much of the red leadership for being as complicit in this crime, as those who you seem to believe are holding it back now. The guilt is not selective. - February 20, 2010 at 12:22 PM
- hobby said...
The structural/system problems go back to way before Thaksin - decades before!
Probably the only good thing to come out of the coup is that those isues are now having the spotlight shone on them, but is difficult in a repressive environment where dissent is crushed with draconian jail sentences (or the threat of same) - February 20, 2010 at 12:36 PM
I was about to respond when the electricity was knocked out by a big storm - so much rain for this time of year, too.
Anyway, you ar correct. The "structural" and "system" problems go back a long time.
But, I don't believe, Thailand will overcome these issues via the red shirts (with their current leaders, agent provocatuers)and/or Thaksin or any other "despot"at the helm.
After all, isn't that partly why the country is in this mess, because throughout history (even before 1932)Thais have always relied on "strong men" to "protect" them.
All very well, but name one who was able to "protect" and at the same time, put the interest of the Thai people before their own ?
That's why I cannot see supporting the reds and Thaksin is any more than a perpetuation of the cycle.
Same bikes:different riders, that's all.
Hopefully, one day, Thailand will find a new group of riders who can really offer a "new" way. - February 20, 2010 at 3:02 PM
- hobby said...
"Hopefully, one day, Thailand will find a new group of riders who can really offer a "new" way."
Is that referring to Prem's distinguishing who merely rides the horse and who owns it?
Bottom line for me is to just let the people decide who they want, without interefence by the military & others who always seem to be backed by some powerful 'invisible hand'. - February 20, 2010 at 4:29 PM
I wasn't thinking of that statement.
I think we've reached the end of this discussion and in broad terms, we seem to agree that change is needed.
Our differences seem to have more to do with the agents of change, than the goals.
And I agree it is for the Thai people to decide, not us in the stands. I just hope, they can do it in a way which DOES make it better for everyone.
Thanks for the discussion. - February 20, 2010 at 4:44 PM

No worries - I'm just watching it all unfold, and like you, hoping for the best.

I quote: "Why is it that Thaksin's wealth & financial affairs have been thoroughly investigated, studied, even had books written about, yet the question of how various Generals (including Privy Councillors like Surayud) obtained their wealth is just swept under the carpet?"
What coincidence! someone (a red-shirted activist ?) just gave me a pamphlet detailing dubious circumstances surrounding the seizure of Thaksin's 7.6(billion?) baht worth of assets. - February 20, 2010 at 5:07 PM
- hobby said...
Less than a week to go (Friday 26th February) to find out just how far they are prepared to push the double standard:)
- February 20, 2010 at 5:14 PM
I think how far they are prepared to go on this GT200 issue could be just as important. If that is pushed to the limit, then perhaps some are taking the "double standards" accusations serioulsy.
Will they achieve a result ?
Who knows.
Will it perhaps bring this subject out in the light ?
All I can say, is it appears as much as some might try to push it under the carpet, it's not going away.
We can live in hope, for a fairer society. - February 20, 2010 at 5:42 PM

The existing dock was once used to load and unload barges on the river, but it has since fallen into disuse. As the dock's foundation is still solid, the new mixed-use development will be added to it in a green renovation of sorts. The new 56,700 sq ft development includes dock facilities, commercial space, a public plaza, and residential units of various sizes. Taking inspiration from the nearby landscape and nature, the new dock is a stack of blocks shifted to provide terraces for apartments and optimal views. The dock is easily accessed via a new covered walkway from the road or the pedestrian path that runs along the riverfront.
Larger residential units are located at the ends, while smaller units are placed in the center over an arched public space. The entire building is covered in a louvered wooden system that gracefully arcs from north to south, acting as a shade screen for the residences below. Louver spacing was carefully planned to let in the optimum amount of light, mitigating solar heat gain. Air can easily circulate under the screen, allowing the building to take advantage of the river below for naturally cooling.

Papago Tribe
Posted By Dennis On In Arizona,Native American | No Comments
Papago Indians (from papáh 'beans', óotam 'people': `beansmen,' 'bean-people'1; hence Span. Frijoleros. The name is often erroneously connected with 'cut-hair,' 'baptized,' etc.) A Piman tribe, closely allied to the Pima, whose original home was the territory south and south east of Gila River, especially south of Tucson, Arizona, in the main and tributary valleys of the Rio Santa Cruz, and extending west and south west across the desert waste known as the Papaguería, into Sonora, Mexico. From San Xavier del Bac to Quitovaquita, one of their westernmost rancherias, it is about 120 miles, and this may be considered as the extent of the settlements in the 17th and 18th centuries, during which period, owing to the inhospitality of their habitat, they were less inclined to village life than the Pima. Like the latter, the Papago subsist by agriculture, maize, beans, and cotton formerly being their chief crops, which they cultivated by means of irrigation; but many desert plants also contribute to their food supply, especially mesquite, the beans of which are eaten, and the saguaro, pitahaya, or giant cactus (Cereus giganteos), from the fruit of which preserves and a syrup are made. An extensive trade in salt, taken from the great inland lagoons, was formerly conducted by the tribe, the product finding ready sale at Tubac and Tucson. Their present principal crops are wheat and barley. They are also stock-raisers; and in recent years many of them have gained a livelihood by working as laborers, especially on railroads and irrigation ditches. The Papago are tall and dark complexioned; their dialect differs but little from that of the Pima, and their habits and customs are generally similar except that the men wear the hair only to the shoulders. Their traditions also bear close resemblance save where varied by local coloring. Like the Pima, the Papago women are expert basket makers. Their pottery is far inferior to that of the Pueblos, and the designs and patterns of both the pottery and the basketry are the same as those of the Pima. One of their favorite games, played with 4 sticks, was that known as kints (Spanish quince, 'fifteen'), called by them ghin-skoot (probably derived from the same word). From early times the Papago have been known as a frugal and peaceable people, although they by no means lacked bravery when oppressed by their enemies, the Apache, from whose raids they suffered severely. Their typical dwelling is dome shaped, consisting of a framework of saplings, thatched with grass or leafy shrubs, with an adjacent shelter or ramada. These lodges are from 12 to 20 feet in diameter, and sometimes the roof is flattened and covered with earth.
The Papago in the U. S. numbered 4,981 in 1906, distributed as follows: Under the Pima school superintendent (Gila Bend Reservation), 2,233; under the farmer at San Xavier (Papago Reservation), 523 allottees on reserve, and 2,225 in Pima County. In addition, 859 Papago were officially reported in Sonora, Mexico, in 1900, but this is probably a low estimate of their true number in that state.
The Papago subdivisions and settlements, so far as known, are:
Kino, 1701, in Doc. Hist. Mex., 4th s., 1, 360, 1856; McGee in Coville and Macdougal, Des. Bot. Lab. ,1903 ↩

We have established a model of melanoma progression in zebrafish through the generation of transgenic lines specifically expressing oncogenic human HRAS in the melanocytic lineage. In these tumors we have carried out quantitative expression analysis of several putative cancer genes, from known and predicted cancer gene lists. In particular, we analyzed 39 out of 101 putative cancer genes identified with a bioinformatics approach and selected for the low frequency of duplication and the high connectivity in protein networks. Data obtained by real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis from zebrafish melanoma tissue shows that the expression of many cancer genes is downregulated in zebrafish melanomas, whereas only cell cycle genes are upregulated. To understand whether this trend is due to global repression of gene expression associated to a repressive chromatin state, we investigated whether changes of histone methylation were detectable in our melanoma model. We found substantial differences in the levels of H3K9me3, H4K20me2, H3K27me3, H3K4me3, and H3R2me2a immunostaining in melanoma tissue when compared with normal skin. Thus our analysis suggests that in our model, like in human melanoma, important changes occur to the methylation status of histones. Although the outcome of these changes is still unknown, they could be responsible for the global repression of gene expression through epigenetic regulation shown in this study.

A lawyer holding property in which both the client and a third person have an "interest" must account for the property, pay undisputed sums to the proper party, and abide resolution of any disputes. Arizona Rules of Professional Conduct ("ERs") 1.15(d), (e). ER 1.15(d) requires a lawyer with knowledge of claims against the client to protect those with an "interest" in funds in the lawyer's control. An "interest" is a matured legal or equitable claim. The ethical rules do not require a claimant's lawyer to search public records or other sources for medical liens or claims in order to acquire knowledge of an "interest."
The representation of multiple clients in a single litigation matter is generally permissible so long as the lawyer reasonably believes that he or she will be able to provide competent and diligent representation to each client, the representation does not involve the assertion of a claim by one client against another client, and each client gives informed consent, confirmed in writing. Ethical Rule ("ER") 1.7(b). The requirement of informed consent arises only if, as an initial matter, the lawyer determines that the lawyer can, in fact, competently and diligently represent each client in the particular matter. Once that determination is made, the lawyer bears the burden of showing that there was adequate disclosure to each client and that each client gave an informed consent.
The disclosures required to obtain the client's "informed consent" will depend on the facts and circumstances of the particular matter. The lawyer must explain the possible effects of the common representation on the lawyer's obligations of loyalty, confidentiality and the attorney-client privilege. In addition to the confirming writing required by ER 1.7(b), informed consent usually will require that the lawyer explain the advantages and disadvantages of the common representation in sufficient detail so that each client can understand why separate counsel may be desirable. Finally, during the course of the matter, the lawyer must continue to evaluate whether conflicts have arisen that may require additional disclosures and consent or withdrawal from the representation.
A lawyer cannot accept a referral fee from an automobile dealer in return for referring "credit challenged" clients who purchase vehicles to the dealer. [1] This form of arrangement violates the dictates of ERs 1.7 and 1.8.
Under ER 5.7, adopted in December 2003, a lawyer who operates a separate investment advisory business may refer non-clients to an investment advisory firm that pays a referral fee to the lawyer, so long as the lawyer takes reasonable steps to assure that the non-clients understand they are not receiving legal services and they do not have the protections of a lawyer-client relationship. A lawyer who provides such services to former clients must also comply with the confidentiality requirements and other obligations under ER 1.9, and should take particular care to assure that the former clients understand they do not have a lawyer-client relationship with respect to the investment transactions. A lawyer may not refer a current client to such a program, however, unless the lawyer meets the "heavy burden" of showing compliance with ER 1.7 and 1.8(a). Also, a lawyer who provides investment advisory services must satisfy ERs 7.1 through 7.3 and maintain separation between the law practice and the lawyer's investment advisory business so that they do not appear to be related.
To the extent previous Arizona ethics opinion 98-09 is inconsistent with ER 5.7 and the analysis in this opinion, the earlier opinion is no longer effective.
A dissenting opinion issued contemporaneously by the committee, recommends a per se ban against lawyers accepting money from third-party professionals in exchange for referring law clients to those third-party payors. However, like the majority, we agree that a lawyer can accept a fee from a third-party professional for referring non-clients to the third-party's firm, provided that the lawyer complies with Rule 5.7.
An attorney does not owe a duty of confidentiality to individuals who unilaterally e-mail inquiries to the attorney when the e-mail is unsolicited. The sender does not have a reasonable expectation of confidentiality in such situations. Law firm websites, with attorney e-mail addresses, however, should include disclaimers regarding whether or not e-mail communications from prospective clients will be treated as confidential. [ERs 1.6, 1.7]
Sole practitioner proposes to turn over his law practice to a law firm while he goes on a one-year leave of absence. Discussion of whether a law practice has a salable goodwill. (Invalidated by Op. 06-01)
