- Interview Details
Phone interview was fairly basic and essentially wanted to make sure you could do math and hadn't lied on your resume. This was followed by four back-to-back in person interviews. They were about 45 minutes each and while I think that they were meant to focus on a different area (team work, creative problem solving, etc.), many kind of ran together. After the interviews, you're taken out to lunch with an "ambassador" who is meant to be a non-partial person you can ask more frank questions about culture, compensation, etc.

October 15, 2006 : Inclusion: Resettling the Dalits
by Bronwyn Curran SAMANTHANPETTAI, Nagapattinam District, Tamil Nadu, Oct 15: From the rooftop of house number 332 in the uniform row of new pink-coated concrete homes, 14-year-old Vinotkumar can glimpse the ocean that rose in a roaring black wall of water nearly two years ago. The tsunami swept away his family's old thatch-and-mud hut, along with most of this traditional Tamil fishing village in southern India.As one of the 10 "untouchable" Dalit low-caste families of Samanthanpettai, Vinotkumar's family lived on the other side of the railway track that runs along the coastline. Before the tsunami, caste segregation applied in fishing villages up and down this stretch of the Bay of Bengal shore in Tamil Nadu state's Nagapattinam district, with the seafront side of the tracks reserved for the less low-caste fisher families. Two years on, in the post-tsunami era of shiny new permanent settlements, the "untouchables" and the fisher families of Samanthanpettai are all living on the same block, despite their caste differences. "Now the Dalits are on par with us in housing. There are still 50 fisher families waiting for a new house, while all the Dalit families of our village have got their new houses already," points out the treasurer of Samanthanpettai's local "panchayat" council, S. Murugaiyam. On Boxing Day 2004, the wrong side of the tracks was the right place to be. The tsunami waves swept 148 seafront fisherfolk of Samanthanpettai's 2,500 people to their deaths, but the 10 "untouchable" families, living a few hundred metres back from the shore, all survived. Later on the bodies of fisher families were found washed up in the ruins of the Dalits' huts. More than 7,000 people were killed by the tsunami in Tamil Nadu, of at least 12,400 casualties along India's southern coastline. At Samanthanpettai two years later, 340 identical new homes sit on government land a kilometre behind the palm-fringed old village, housing 330 fisher families and 10 Dalit families. Each 320-square-foot house has a bedroom, a living room, a kitchen, a toilet, a terrace, and stairs to an open-air rooftop. Paved roads run between the housing blocks and electricity lights each house. Some families have installed their own water pumps, TVs and video players. The housing colony was completed by the Mata Amritanandamayi Math religious foundation in December 2005. Most agree it's a big step up from the way the villagers lived before the tsunami. But challenges persist: the groundwater plumbed by the new settlement's handpumps is saline, so residents rely on limited rations of drinking water from a water-tanker that visits daily; and people still wander to the forest or the beach instead of using the latrines installed in their new homes.
Across Tamil Nadu 5,398 families are now in permanent housing as of October 2006. Another 15,774 families – of which 15,352 are in Nagapattinam district - are still in temporary shelters while their homes are being built. Vinotkumar's father C. Veerasamy, whose "untouchable" status restricts him to casual labour like digging trenches or picking coconuts, points to cracks in the walls of his new home, and explains why he thinks it's not enough. "I have two wives with five children each. This isn't big enough for all of us. We should've got two houses. Now the cracks are showing. I'm worried it might crumble." Vinotkumar was on the beach making sandcastles among the fishing boats when the tsunami hit. He saved his youngest siblings from the invading sea. "People started shouting 'The sea is racing!' I saw big black water charging towards us. I ran home and found my littlest brother and sister inside. I grabbed them and fled," the 14-year-old recalls. Vinothkumar and his sister Vinodhini, 13, are now at the local government school with other fisher family children. They're getting the same education as the fisher family kids, and sit in the same new desks and benches supplied by UNICEF. Sitting in one of the new classroom blocks, Vinodhini ties up her braids with long white ribbons. She dreams of becoming a doctor. "I like our new home. It's better than our old place," Vinodhini says during recess at the Sammanthanpettai Municipal Middle School. Subashri, 10, daughter of fisherman Subramaniyam, wants to be a teacher. She wears a red bindi on her forehead and gold earrings to match her bangles. "Before the tsunami I sat on the floor during classes. Now I sit at a desk and chair." UNICEF has trained two of the school's teachers in advanced teaching methods, under its Quality Education Program. "It's been very beneficial for the students," says senior teacher Soundarambal. "Now we are applying the Activities Based Learning methods we were taught. It helps the children learn faster." Every child in the high-spirited crowd swarming out the gates of the end of the day wears a UNICEF backpack. The stationary and teaching materials have been supplied by UNICEF. UNICEF installed the school's first-ever latrines. But no-one's using the school toilets. Nor are families in the 340 new houses using their new latrines. "There's no running water," says Lakshmi, one of Veerasamy's wives, to explain why she still ventures into the forest even at night, instead of using the house latrine. Yet the bathroom is stacked with buckets full of water from the groundwater pump. Veerasamy's wives have converted the bathroom into a laundry. In India barely more than one-third of people have access to improved sanitation facilities, according to UNICEF's Progress for Children 2006 report on Water and Sanitation. "When the tsunami hit, the entire community were not used to toilet facilities or even proper hygiene practices," said UNICEF's Tsunami Recovery Program Officer for Tamil Nadu, Barbara Atherly. "It's something we made a conscious effort to work with, through wide communications campaigns. When people were first in temporary shelters, the percentage of toilet use was zero. Now it's increased to between 55 and 60 percent in tsunami-affected areas. But it's mostly women and children who are now using them. Many of the men are still reluctant." In house number 215 of the new Samanthanpettai settlement, Subashri's mother Tamilselvi, whose baby was swept from her arms as she waded through neck-high waters after the sea invaded, says the latrine is too close to her makeshift cooking area. Most families have set up their cooking areas on the back steps, near the latrine room, instead of the kitchen area provided inside. Many use the interior kitchen as a clothes-drying area instead. For Veerasamy's fisherfolk neighbours, the biggest threat now to their post-tsunami lives is the dwindling catch. In the wake of the tsunami the fishing community, who suffered the highest casualties and lost 84,000 boats, were showered with new motorized fibreglass boats, in many cases replacing traditional catamarans. "But there are less fish in the sea," laments Tamilselvi's husband Subramaniyam. "Before the tsunami, we never came back empty-handed." It's a lament echoed up and down the Tamil Nadu coast. Coupled with rising diesel costs, each fishing venture out to sea is a financial risk. "Now we never know if we're going to catch anything. At the same time we have to pay 200 rupees (4.5 dollars) for fuel and hire extra labour. If we come back empty-handed, we make a loss and get into debt." Subramaniyam has run up a 5,000 rupee (114 dollar) debt. He pays 250 rupees a week in interest. That's barely covered by the 1,000 rupees (23 dollars) worth of fish a month he's pulled in for the last three months -- one-tenth of what he used to fetch before the tsunami. Other fishermen have simply stopped fishing. "My husband's barely gone to sea in the last two years. He just lolls around on the beach all day," laments Arumaikannu, 28, still mourning her eight-year-old son Jayasilam who was taken by the tsunami. Depression among fishermen and under-employed "untouchables" has intensified pre-existing drinking habits. Veerasamy's breath is laced with alcohol in the mornings. At dusk idle youth, who would normally be out fishing, play marbles by the railway track. Older men sit on tarpaulins under palm trees, or mend nets on the sands. The most far-reaching change in their lives is less immediately visible: a gradual breakdown of traditional caste segregation. "The biggest change since the tsunami is the fact that there is more social inclusion," said UNICEF's Atherly. "The separation by caste and class has been to a large extent diminished. All categories of persons were given the same kind of housing. There was no distinction. We are seeing it not only in the community itself, but in schools as well. The fact they now have furniture, that children of all castes sit in classrooms on furniture, raises their standards. Because they were a fishing community they never had furniture before. Now they do, and the children feel now they're really studying in school." |

Article ID: 309739 - View products that this article applies to. This article was previously published under Q309739 This article has been archived. It is offered "as is" and will no longer be updated. SYMPTOMS
A user that has Exchange View-only Administrator rights on a specific Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 administrative group (Administrative Group A), can delete public folders on a server within that administrative group (Administrative Group A). The expected behavior is that a View-only Administrator cannot delete public folders within an administrative group to which the user has View-only Administrative rights. Note In Exchange 2000 Server and in Exchange Server 2003, you can delegate Exchange Administrative rights through the Exchange Administration Delegation Wizard in Exchange System Manager at the Organizational level, or at the Administrative Group level. This article specifically refers to the rights at the Administrative Group level. CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the user has either Exchange Administrator rights or Exchange Full Administrator rights at the Administrative Group level on a different administrative group (Administrative Group B). This behavior can also occur if Administrative Group B holds a public folder store associated to the same public folder tree as the public folder store on the server in the other administrative group (Administrative Group A), where the same user obtains only Exchange View-only Administrator rights at the Administrative Group level. In Exchange 2000 Server and in Exchange Server 2003, by design, a user that is an Exchange View-only Administrator for a specific administrative group can use the drag-and-drop feature to move folders, and delete public folders anywhere in a public folder tree. The user can only perform this function if the user is also an Exchange Administrator or an Exchange Full Administrator on another administrative group, which holds a public folder store associated to this public folder tree.

Kidney Transplant for Daniel Westling
It has been reported that Daniel Westling, the fiance of Crown Princess Victoria, underwent a kidney transplant today to treat a congenital (but apparently not hereditary) kidney disease. The donor kidney came from Mr Westling's father. Both Daniel and his father are reported to be doing well. The surgery apparently was scheduled some time in advance and is not an emergency procedure.
Crown Princess Victoria is currently in Greenland, along with Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark and Crown Prince Haakon of Norway.
For more details, see this thread.

Now, the man who wanted to do harm did a great, beneficial act for the whole of humanity - not only for that man - because in these five thousand years, millions of people have been helped by acupuncture. The whole credit goes to that unknown person who wanted to kill.
In your unconsciousness it is difficult to decide what the outcome will be. You move in a dark dark night. All is accidental.
Sindenburg had lived a virtuous life; he was even president of the synagogue. But when he entered heaven the angel in charge said, "You can't stay here."
"Why?" asked Sindenburg. "I always tried to be a good man."
"That is it," explained the angel. "Everyone here was a good man, but they all committed at least one sin. Since you didn't sin at all, the rest of the souls will resent you."
"But," protested Sindenburg, "isn't there something I can do?"
"Well," considered the angel, "you can have six more hours on earth to commit a sin, but you must do somebody a real injury."
Sindenburg went back to earth and suddenly he saw a middle-aged woman looking at him. They started talking; she invited him home with her. Soon they were making love like two teenagers.
Six hours later Sindenburg said, "I am sorry, but I have to go now."
"Listen!" cried the woman. "I never married or even had a man. You just gave me the best time I had in my whole life. What a good deed you did today!"
Now he came to do some real injury and what he has really done is a good deed. The woman is immensely happy and grateful. And those six hours are gone; now there is no more time left. Again he will be in trouble!
In sleep you cannot do good - you cannot even do bad! All is accidental. And when a person comes to a master he comes almost fast asleep. He comes out of curiosity, accidentally. He expects much, and his expectations are natural in his state. He expected lessons in Zen.
Now that is absolutely foolish: there are no lessons in Zen. Zen, in the first place, is not a teaching but a device to awaken you. It is not information, it is not knowledge. It is a method to shake you up, to wake you up. Teaching means you are fast asleep and somebody goes on talking about what awakening is - and you go on snoring and he goes on talking. You are asleep, he is asleep; otherwise he will not talk to you. At least when he sees that you are snoring he will not talk to you.

With an invitation that seems to resound with a hearty "All Aboard," the Arizona Big Train Operators have announced their Annual Spring Open House Railway Tour. For the 2013 Tour, 22 members — including seven stops in Mesa, two in Chandler, four in Sun Lakes, two in Gilbert and another in Gold Canyon — will open their large-scale backyard railways for the public to view and enjoy.
The ABTO organization, officially founded in 1996, was established to "promote and advance the interest of large-scale garden railroading in Arizona," the group's website states. Members of the group are fans of the "G-scale" garden railroads, the largest of their kind, with train cars that are 1/24th scale and stand five or six inches tall.
In addition to monthly meetings, which are held to advance the camaraderie of its membership, discuss ideas and to work together on model railroading projects, the group hosts two open house tours annually – one at Christmas time and one in the spring.
"This event offers family-style fun for children of all ages to come out and enjoy. It is great to see the expressions on the faces of all ages when they see the miniature world of railroads," event organizers say.
ABTO vice president Ennis Thompson says each of the displays has its own unique features. At each of the 22 stops on the tour, visitors may walk around and see all of the layouts with their cities, towns, bridges and landscaped gardens.
Among the garden railways that will be part of the spring tour, one of particular interest is at the Mesa home of Dennis and Lizabeth Sirrine. Sirrine said his interest in trains began when he was just a child and got his first train.
"I was hooked when I was three," he said. He started with the G-scale trains in 1982 and said he adds to his backyard layout each year. Today, the Sirrine's display is one of the largest in the area, with more than 6,000 feet of track.
"It has lakes and streams and all kinds of things. It's really magical to watch it run," Sirrine said.
At the Chandler home of Jack and Dorothy Johnson is an eclectic layout in which five trains are running all the time."
"My motif is called Bonneville Mills," Thompson said.
"I am from Indiana, and there is an old grist mill there called Bonneville," he explained, noting that his layout includes 14 houses and other elements that portray his home state.
Thompson said his own interest in the big trains started when he was a young boy. "My dad and grandpa were railroad engineers," he said. "I worked on the railroad for four years, then taught elementary school; and I have always liked to build things."
"But," he added, "trains seem to have a fascination for everyone."
While no fees are charged, tax deductible donations will be accepted at each home and will be used to support ABTO activities throughout the valley, including the maintenance of the train layout at the Cardon Children's Medical Center at Banner Desert Hospital in Mesa.
As part of the spring tour, the public is invited to visit the Medical Center as well to see the railroad there, which has three trains plus a trolley running through a large display of well-designed scenery.
The tour will run two days, with the 15 East Valley layouts open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, March 16. Locations in Phoenix and Glendale are open 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, March 17.
For more information, including addresses, maps and videos of the locations, visit www.azbigtrains.org.

" Brand: Lily-Flame / Type: Candles / Category: Home Fragrance "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Okay I admit it - I'm a sucker for a nice posh candle especially at this time of year! I usually buy them, decide that they are too nice to light and just look at them or smell them every now and then...but not this candle. No, this candle I decided to actually burn for a change!
Unfortunately my budget does not stretch to the really pricey candles from Jo Malone (£37.19) or Diptyque (£35) and even if it did, there is no way that I'd be burning that amount of money... However in this year's January sales I came across a range of candles that I'd never heard of before called 'Lily-Flame' and as the candle was quite affordable and in the sale I decided to go ahead and purchase one thinking that it would make a good gift.
Well now December is here and my thoughts turned to how to make my home more Christmassy and I decided that instead of giving the candle away, I would use it myself...
The candle is presented in an attractive tin (as shown above), which is a pale orange colour with metallic orangey/red embossed font. The lettering and style of the packaging is quite contemporary, which I think would appeal to most consumers. The tin has certain information on the back of it including the approximate burn time that you can expect from your candle (35 hours), company contact details and also informs you that the candle has been handmade in the 'heart of Somerset'.
When you open the lid, you can see the candle in the tin. The candle isn't overly large, so only has one wick in the centre of the wax. The candle was a creamy orange colour with 4 wax shapes, which were in a contrasting darker orange and pink colour and were scattered around the wick. On the inside of the lid are the usual directions for use.
As you can probably tell from the fragrance (Festive Cheer), this candle is one of Lily-Flames' seasonal offerings. According to the tin this candle smells of Chocolates, Gingerbread, Tangerines and Nuts. However I have to say that I think that it smells of tangerines and cloves, although I suppose that this could be the spicy gingerbread coming through. The aroma from the candle is quite strong, but I am pleased to say that it isn't overpowering at all when burning! It does give off a nice amount of scent and makes the room smell nice, without being over the top.
I am about 12 hours into using this candle now and am really pleased with my purchase. You can tell from the scent and look of the candle that this is a quality item and I am really pleased that I kept it for myself! I found it very easy to relight and now that the little coloured wax segments have melted, the wax is a slightly darker orange colour but is still appealing to look at. I found that the wax melted evenly and smoothly without giving off any smoke.
I purchased my candle from Johnlewis.com and they have quite an extensive range available. The candles are priced at a reasonable £7.75. However Lily-Flame also have their own website where you can also buy these - www.lily-flame.co.uk.
Fill your home with the scent of Christmas goodies with gingerbread, chocolate and nuts!

Lake on Saturn's moon could be fed by underground rivers, say scientists
The discovery of a huge methane lake at tropical latitudes on Titan could help scientists better understand the bizarre atmosphere of Saturn's largest moon,
ESA/NASA/JPL/University of Arizona/USGS
Los Angeles
In a surprise find, scientists say they have spotted hints of a methane-rich lake and several ponds near the equator of Saturn's biggest moon.
Lakes were previously spied near Titan's polar regions. It was long thought that bodies of liquid could not exist at Titan's midsection because energy from the sun at those latitudes would cause methane pools to evaporate.
"This discovery was completely unexpected because lakes are not stable at tropical latitudes," said planetary scientist Caitlin Griffith of the University of Arizona, who led the discovery team.
By measuring reflected sunlight from Titan's surface and atmosphere, the international Cassini spacecraft detected a dark region near the landing site of Huygens, a companion probe that parachuted to Titan's equator in 2005.
Scientists said further analysis of the dark feature suggests the presence of a 927-square-mile hydrocarbon lake — twice as big as Lake Champlain, a freshwater lake that borders upstate New York and Vermont. Near the equatorial lake were hints of four shallow ponds similar in size and depth to marshes on Earth.

Being goofy comes naturally to them as does their unique brand of music. Saroop Oommen tries to decipher the TWKC foursome.
TWKC or Tundu Beedi-Water Packet-Kuchi Ice-Curd Rice. That is Chennai's (possibly India's!) only experi-metal band. Classmates from kindergarten, (PSBB-K.K. Nagar) banded together in 2008, TWKC recently placed second at IIT-Saarang and Technofest Anna Univ, third at Deepwoods, MCC, and bagged some individual awards.
Personally, I've seen them mercilessly tear apart the whole ethos of live band music, and yet keep a straight face; and stay committed as a band! I've searched hard to find a comparison to slot them into, to justify why I don't dislike them, or even the need for this article! Failed miserably!
On stage, the lanky front-man Harish, complete with a bushy beard and geeky spectacles, portrays the most pitiable disposition. Then you catch an impish smile just before a near perfect 'Linkin Park' scream hits you. And remember, Chester Bennington is tearing his vocal cords on lyrics like, 'I've become so numb I can't feel you there' whereas Harish is vexing about, "Do I ever care a damn, if Mary had a little lamb!"!
Are they for real! Shock! Laughter! Disbelief and some amount of euphoria, hits you, strong! Ashwin's guitar riffs are neat and drummer Karthik and bassy Thej are enviably tight! And everywhere they have performed the audiences is stoked! But, how can they be so at peace with themselves by being totally goofy? We can decide to brand them as taking the music fraternity for a solid ride, or try and see what method is in the mess that is TWKC.
How do you define irreverence?
Harish (Mildly offended!): We are not irreverent. We never planned to be what we are now. We wanted to sound different from other bands and do what feels right. We were initially apprehensive about our lyrics and style, but with the great response we've had, we are so ready to fly away to the sky!
Karthik: It's not just about being funny. It's not just about being funny. That's just how we work... We all listen to different styles of music and it's not like we try to force it.
Why do you choose to remain in the quirky space?
Harish: It's not that we don't care about what people think or say. It's not that we don't care about what people think. Like Arjun always said, "It has to be worth the money! People are paying to come for the gig, so make it worth it". So it was always about striking a balance between making it pure entertainment and finding our space.
Karthik: We don't have what other bands have; they can write about war, peace and love, but we can't! Maybe those topics are a little clichéd for us too! We look at life a little different and so our songs are…different.
Losing Arjun (Vasudev) must have been a great shock?
Harish: March 27, 2009; it's been two years. We host the annual OURJ concert to keep his passion alive. His family has also instituted the Arjun Vasudev Trust which supports artistic awards thru Loyola College and Unwind Center.
Thej: This band was Arjun's initiative. Arjun forced us to enter into competitions, and we won Best Song at UNDERGROUND 2008. In 2009, we swept everything in the metal category!Our lives revolved around his parents, his house; we did everything there. Even now it's my second home; I don't even knock! I would never say Arjun is dead; he is just not there for now!
In the same poignant vein, one of their first songs 'The Untold Story' written with Arjun states, "The world that is too much to take, The end of the story, no one told me…and no one told you too?!
You craft a technically great song about Muthu Pandi's dietary preferences and perform it with a straight face? WTH?
Harish: Our song-writing sessions are really weird. People actually think we are high on something but no, we are really organised and serious about what we do. We prastice, then go our separate ways.
Thej: The music came first, then the lyrics. I think the music became even better when quirky lyrics were added to it. Then when we perform it, the audience gets so pepped up and we get energised too; it's great!
Ashwin: Initially, I used to come prepared to play different genres according to those rules. The TWKC style was shocking initially. Now I'm very proud!
Bands break their heads over inspiration to write great songs, but you are almost bordering slap-stick comedy? Are you really satisfied as an artist/performer?
Karthik: There is lot of satisfaction when we do something like this. Some bands think we are not respecting music and that we are getting away by just being funny. The truth is that we put a lot of effort into the song structures and the phrasing and adding breaks and stuff.
It's sort of unity in diversity. This is how we sound right now. It turns out that we complement each other pretty well.
Harish: (Really Offended!) We do not like to be called slap stick comedy!!
What has 'Mary's little lamb' or 'Chicken song' got to do with Metal?
Thej: A lot of people think Metal is only about being dark. We believe metal music themes can be whatever we want it to be as long as you put it across clearly.
Karthik: Our music is heavy enough for the metal genre. What type I don't know; that's why we call ourselves 'experi-metal'.
What are your musical influences?
Thej: System of a Down; I never get bored of them. Their music is from the cosmic. Beautiful, random lyrics & music, amazing. We also love Metallica, used to like Iron Maiden, now Green Day, Pink Floyd. Suddenly all their songs have meaning; or maybe we've started to understand!
Ashwin: We actually listen to all kinds of music. This summer we even plan to add some funk to the songs. We have a three-song recording deal after winning at Saarang, so we want to put out an EP for more people to get the TWKC bug!
Karthik: Even in school, when we used to cover songs, we used to add our stuff to it; a pause here and there, drop the tempo, it was great…still is.
How did the name come up?
Harish: Karthik is the intellectual one. He says, "The name has to be the product of our environment!"
Karthik: I swear I don't know where the name came from. I think Harish and Arjun came up with it!
Thej: I was not involved. Random names were thrown in. We wanted something that shows our roots and that is quintessentially Chennai.
At the end of a TWKC performance, it feels like the laughter is at the expense of the audience or the band itself or the whole rock performance scene.
Harish: Maybe the first time people laugh at us; the next time they know what to expect and they get seriously entertained! If the sound system is good, we enjoy ourselves and go ballistic. Don't know why we go crazy; it just happens.
Thej: I think it's at everyone's expense!
Karthik: People are laughing because of the characters in the songs. I don't think anyone is laughing at the expense of anyone. But I don't mind if people make fun of Harish.
Ashwin: The final thing is to entertain the crowd; we never want to make anyone the butt of our jokes.
Conclusion: Statistically, 3/10 bands last more than three to four years. Time will tell if TWKC will cross the break-up barrier; with the commitment shown so far, they can. Time will tell if this article was an absolute waste of time. But hey, that's exactly the concoction of emotions you are sprayed with at a TWKC gig! Anyway, here's to one of the most peculiar, original bands Chennai has ever seen!
Keywords: TWKC, UNDERGROUND 2008, music band

TV Trends in Woodworth
National trends have taught us at CableTV.com a lot about TV in Woodworth, LA. So we thought we'd share. A third of Americans own at least four televisions, 50% of us stream TV content online, and 97% of people still watch TV the old fashioned way; during primetime. A lot of Americans, nearly 3/4, bundle their cable TV service with a high-speed Internet package. For Woodworth's population of 1,212, that's equal to:
- 400 with 4 or more TVs
- 582 streaming shows
- 873 bundlers of cable services
- 1,006 people with evenings free enough to watch TV as it happens.

DNA methylation is implicated in mammalian brain development and plasticity underlying learning and memory. We report the genome-wide composition, patterning, cell specificity, and dynamics of DNA methylation at single-base resolution in human and mouse frontal cortex throughout their lifespan. Widespread methylome reconfiguration occurs during fetal to young adult development, coincident with synaptogenesis. During this period, highly conserved non-CG methylation (mCH) accumulates in neurons, but not glia, to become the dominant form of methylation in the human neuronal genome. Moreover, we found an mCH signature that identifies genes escaping X-chromosome inactivation. Last, whole-genome single-base resolution 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) maps revealed that hmC marks fetal brain cell genomes at putative regulatory regions that are CG-demethylated and activated in the adult brain and that CG demethylation at these hmC-poised loci depends on Tet2 activity.

Title: | Effects of size and temperature on metabolic rate |
Author: | Gillooly, James; Brown, James; West, Geoffrey; Savage, Van; Charnov, Eric |
Subject: | allometry temperature body size metabolic rate |
Abstract: | We derive a general model, based on principles of biochemical kinetics and allometry, that characterizes the effects of temperature and body mass on metabolic rate. The model fits metabolic rates of microbes, ectotherms, endotherms (including those in hibernation), and plants in temperatures ranging from 0 to 40C. Mass - and temperature - compensated resting metabolic rates of all organisms are similar: The lowest (for unicellular organisms and plants) is separated from the highest (for endothermic vertebrates) by a factor of about 20. Temperature and body size are primary determinants of biological time and ecological roles. |

Rich Families: Look at Donor-Advised Funds
BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J. ( TheStreet) -- Donor-advised funds are a great funding vehicle for charitably inclined wealthy families.
Using such a vehicle can lead to a more thoughtful and disciplined approach to giving. The donor gets an immediate tax deduction while their contribution is invested allowing it to grow, with the current year tax deduction subject to the percent of adjusted gross income limits. Since DAFs are considered public charities, the limitation is 50% of AGI for cash donations. (Lower limits apply to noncash contributions.)
For example, an person with an AGI of $1 million could contribute $500,000 in cash into a DAF and take an immediate tax deduction. Even though the donor has made an irrevocable contribution, he or she still gets to select from the DAF's available investment options and decide when and how much to grant to eligible charities.
So how does a DAF stack up against running a private foundation? From a tax perspective, DAFs allow for a potentially higher upfront tax deduction based on AGI limitation rules. DAFs also require significantly less time and administration.
A private foundation does offer more control, particularly around investment and grant making, but the price for the extra control is the initial set-up cost plus ongoing expenses such as legal and accounting fees. A private foundation requires a separate legal entity be created, and the entity will need to apply for tax-exempt status with the IRS. Ongoing rules require minimum annual charitable giving levels, and there are percent limitations on annual administrative expenses. Private foundations are also required to file an annual informational tax return known as a 990 with the IRS. >>Donate Smartly With Donor Advised Funds The Council on Foundations has an excellent FAQ on starting a foundation and the various considerations involved. Based on the COF examples it takes $10 million before a private foundation has enough funds to have a paid staff of a part-time CEO and part-time administrative assistant, while the ongoing expense of a DAF will typically include an administration fee plus the expense associated with underlying investments. Fidelity's DAF, the Charitable Giving Account for individuals, has a blended administrative fee of roughly 0.45% on the first $1 million. The underlying investment expense for the balanced portfolio offered is 0.69%, and it allows grants to any IRS-qualified public charity. Wealthy families considering setting up a private foundation should see if contributing to a DAF makes more sense from a time and cost perspective. The family could still hold informal meetings and discuss how much and to which charities they wanted to donate -- providing the same benefits as a private family foundation without all the administrative costs and strict rules. >To submit a news tip, email: firstname.lastname@example.com TheStreet on Twitter and become a fan on Facebook.

Mitt Romney paid extra taxes because he was in the "unique position" of having publicly claimed a 13 percent rate, the Romney campaign said Friday.
Romney and his wife, Ann, paid more taxes than they had to in 2011, choosing not to claim deductions for $1.8 million in charitable donations. The Romneys donated just over $4 million to charity in 2011 but claimed deductions on only $2.25 million.
In August, Romney said he has paid at least a 13 percent effective rate in past years, and claiming full deductions would have lowered his rate below that mark. The donations would have brought Romney down to a 10.38 percent effective rate, according to CPA Steve Frushtick.
"The Romneys thus limited their deduction of charitable contributions to conform to the Governor's statement in August, based upon the January estimate of income, that he paid at least 13 percent in income taxes in each of the last 10 years," Romney's blind trustee, Brad Malt, explained in a blog post Friday morning.
"I did go back and look at my taxes, and over the past 10 years, I never paid less than 13 percent," Romney said in August, following up on a question asked weeks earlier by ABC's David Muir. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid had claimed that Romney paid no taxes in at least one year, according to a source Reid would not name.
Romney aide Michele Davis, a former Treasury official hired by the campaign in August, elaborated Friday on why Romney chose to pay more than he owed.
"He has been clear that no American need pay more than he or she owes under the law. At the same time, he was in the unique position of having made a commitment to the public that his tax rate would be above 13 percent," Davis said, in response ABC's email request for more information about Romney's decision. "He directed his preparers to ensure that he is consistent with that statement."
Davis responded in light of another Romney statement. In July, Romney told Muir that if he paid more taxes than necessary, he wouldn't be qualified to be president.
"I don't pay more than are legally due, and frankly if I had paid more than are legally due I don't think I'd be qualified to become president," Romney told Muir. "I'd think people would want me to follow the law and pay only what the tax code requires."

Chemicals used in fogging are carcinogenic and very dangerous to health, says expert
Fogging was harmful for human beings and was not an effective measure in controlling the mosquito menace, director of Sir Ronald Ross Institute of Parasitology (SRRIP), B. Reddya Naik said on Wednesday.
"There is a misconception among public, and even among authorities, that fogging is the best way to control mosquito menace. Fogging is an agricultural process and should be used only for that purpose. The chemicals used in fogging are carcinogenic and are very dangerous to health," Mr. Naik explained.
"The best way to control the problem of mosquitoes is to kill them when they are still in the larva stage as it is very difficult to reduce the menace once they become adults," he said.
He was speaking on the sidelines of the inaugural function of one-week long orientation course on mosquito control measures, being conducted for the senior GHMC officials.
Earlier, GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu, pointed out the importance of training the GHMC personnel in proper mosquito control measures.
Orientation programme
"Twenty-five senior officials from GHMC are undergoing the orientation programme now, but there are about 2,000 people working under these officials. For effective implementation of mosquito control measures, these people should also undergo similar orientation courses," he said. Mr. Babu also promised to provide funds for preserving the institution's heritage building.

I know this has been said a lot but...why cooking oil? I really want to know her reasoning.
good question poo
its not that i dont respect your opinion, i just dont want to hear it!
Should have used shortening to be marginally less stupid. Shortening's more refined than standard cooking oil.

Item 9 on Sean Faircloth's list of ten political policy objectives for a new atheist political strategy is:
Children will be protected from religious bias.
He does not give any examples to illustrate this point.

WEDNESDAY, June 30 (HealthDay News) -- Older men in poor health who use testosterone gel to boost their mobility may raise their odds of high blood pressure or heart attack, new research suggests.
The problems observed were concerning enough to cause the researchers to put an early stop to the study, which is published in the July 1 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.
However, the trial was a small one and volunteers were older men with diabetes, cardiovascular disease and other problems, so whether or not these adverse events would affect the larger population of men taking testosterone therapy is still an open question.
Furthermore, the testosterone doses used in this study were higher than often seen in doctors' offices and other trials, the authors noted.
"These results were a caution flag but not a red light about stopping treatment," said Dr. Evan Hadley, director of the division of geriatrics and clinical gerontology at the U.S. National Institute on Aging, which funded the trial. "The men in this study differed from others in testosterone trials because they were older and frailer. Many of them had chronic diseases. We cannot draw broader conclusions in many different populations of men."
Testosterone supplementation remains a controversial therapy.
"Testosterone is currently not approved for the treatment of older men with mobility problems or frailty, even though there is considerable off-label use of testosterone by older men with low testosterone levels," noted senior study author Dr. Shalender Bhasin. "Given the findings of this research study, older patients and their physicians should carefully weigh the risks of testosterone therapy in their treatment decisions."
Testosterone therapy is approved and has been shown to be effective in men with hypogonadism (low testosterone levels), which some have dubbed male menopaus

(Collectibles) Terrific focus to this extremely dense 2003, with a massive core of raspberry and red currant fruit holding sway over mineral, mocha-infused toast, floral and truffle notes. Then the fruit just cascades over itself on the creamy, endless finish. Drink now through 2030. (5/ 2006)
Moving to the Ermitage releases, Chapoutiers 2003 Ermitage Le Meal comes from the warmest terroir on Hermitage Hill and is always the most up-front, layered and sexy of his Ermitage releases.

Hi all,
First post here after a lot of lurking.
Does anyone here carry a Maxped Single Sheath as a magazine carrier in the horizontal position on their belt? I'm considering this as a carry option but would like to hear about peoples experiences with this. I haven't seen one in person but I hear they are quite chunky, which I don't mind but am wondering if anyone finds them too chunky. I would be carrying a P226 9mm 15/18 round magazine wearing jeans and t-shirt/polo shirt.
Anyone have any photos?
Thanks guys.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson calls Saturday's game with Texas A&M a "must win."
After a 38-14 loss to Alabama last week, Wilson said the prospect of a two-game losing streak is all the motivation the No. 18 Razorbacks (3-1) need as they prepare to face the No. 14 Aggies (2-1) in a matchup of once and future conference rivals.
The Southwest Classic matchup in Dallas is the third installment of a 10-year series agreed to between the former Southwestern Conference rivals. It's also a peek at the future since Texas A&M will join the Southeastern Conference beginning next season.
While the game is full of nostalgia, it's also critical for both teams to come away with a win. The Aggies are coming off a 30-29 loss to Oklahoma State.

By OSKAR GARCIA
Associated Press
HONOLULU — Brittney Griner and No. 1 Baylor bounced back from their first loss in 20 months in emphatic fashion.
Griner broke the NCAA women's record for dunks in her career and the Lady Bears beat UT Martin 82-67 on Saturday night.
The eighth dunk of her career wasn't part of the plan to rebound from the loss to Stanford a night earlier, but the record is something she'd like to extend.
"It's pretty cool — I got to get some more now," said Griner, who now has eight dunks in her career breaking a tie with former Tennessee star Candace Parker.
Griner scored 16 of her 18 points in the first half and rested most of the second half once the Lady Bears (3-1) established firm control.
That took longer than expected for the defending national champions as the unranked Skyhawks (1-3) hung around early, using 3-pointers to try to compete against an opponent that overmatched them from the start. Baylor played without All-American point guard Odyssey Sims, who strained her hamstring early in a 71-69 loss Friday to No. 4 Stanford.
"We bounced back and got to keep going at it, try to develop younger players and get players healthy," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "It's always difficult to do patchwork when you don't have healthy players."
Griner passed Parker with her record-breaking one-handed jam less than seven minutes into the game. She broke away from a double-team, dribbled once and dunked with her right hand, getting the loudest cheer of the night from the mostly empty gym.
"I faced up to see if I could find somebody cutting and (the defender) was just kind of playing up so I just stepped through and went," Griner said.
Griner, who is one of only seven women to dunk in NCAA history, dunked four times as a freshman, once as a sophomore and twice in last season's NCAA tournament.
Heather Butler scored 28 points and Jasmine Newsome scored 24 for UT Martin in defeat.
"I thought we were playing really well in the first half until the two-minute mark. We made a mental error when we were down one that snowballed into halftime," UT Martin coach Kevin McMillan said. "I thought we ran out of gas about midway through the second half. But I was really proud of the way we finished out and the effort our kids gave."
Baylor was looking to get back on track after Stanford ended its 42-game winning streak at the start of the Rainbow Wahine tournament in Honolulu. Baylor coach Kim Mulkey admitted after that game that her team was out of sync in the Aloha State during a trip that's included snorkeling, surf and an unusual schedule.
Saturday night's game — after a visit to Pearl Harbor during the day — was far different for the team that saw its streak end when a last-second shot from Griner bounced off the rim.
"It showed we had heart," Griner said. "We didn't come out here moping about the loss. We could have easily came out and felt sorry for ourselves, but we didn't."
Four players scored in double digits for Baylor, which used 12 of 13 players on its roster in the game. Alexis Prince had 13 points off the bench, while Jordan Madden had 12 points and Kimetria Hayden had 11.
Jasmine Newsome at 5-foot-7 didn't even jump for the opening tip against the 6-foot-8 Griner.
In addition to her record dunk, Griner also passed 2,500 career points in the game.
Mulkey said Baylor won't use Sims until she "can go 100 percent."

So Cute, But Did Blister
"I found these sandals true to size and wider than another pair of Madden Girls I own. I'd say they're a true mint-green with pinkish/mauve and slightly gold accents. These don't have a buckle, but elastic. While this is handy because I never undo the buckle anyway, the elastic did rub on my heel. I have only worn these once, while running around doing errands for about 7 hours, but I do hope that they'll become more comfortable with wear. Very cute! I'm pretty sure I'd buy again."

Nearly $250,000 Raised For Cop Who Shot Michael Brown
Friday, August 22, 2014
(Undated) -- An online fundraiser for the Ferguson, Missouri policeman who shot and killed unarmed black teenager Michael Brown has raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars. The effort's GoFundMe site says more than five thousand people have contributed to the cause for officer Darren Wilson. The managers of the effort say the funds will go towards any financial needs Wilson's family may have, including legal fees. A grand jury is hearing evidence in the shooting case that led to days of violent protests in the St. Louis suburb.

The Purge: Anarchy Sets Up Frank Grillo to Finally Be the Leading Man
Sirens blare and an eerie voice announces that it's best to remain indoors if you don't plan to participate. While others make safety arrangements, and some sharpen their knives, one man loads his black, steel-armored car with plenty of guns and begins cruising. Fires erupt along the street, and gunshots and piercing screams fill the air. Courtesy Universal Pictures
In the black car is a man with a mission, and judging by his stern expression, nothing will get in his way. Cue a flicker in his rearview mirror: the beautiful woman and her young daughter held at gunpoint on the street behind him.
After cursing himself for what he's about to do, the man gets out of the car, aims his gun, and pow. One shooter down, then another, then some fancy punches and kicks and some more pow-pow, and he has just saved two innocent lives.
See also: I (Couldn't) Survive The Purge: Breakout Experience Harder, Creepier Than it Looks
The night of the purge was designed for society to release its harbored angst during a 12-hour period, when all crime is legal -- go out there and kill some people! Saving people? That's not right.
With its second installment and a new leader in charge of a merry pack of victims, The Purge: Anarchy sets up Frank Grillo to be the leading man he always knew he could be.
See also: Can You Survive The Purge? Haunted House Based on the Film Comes to Wynwood
Unlike his most recent on-screen persona, Brock Rumlow (Captain America: The Winter Soldier), whom Grillo describes as "misunderstood," the nameless Sergeant is more of a "good guy; a law-abiding citizen who was wronged."
Sitting inside a large, air-conditioned RV away from the Miami heat, Grillo laces his fingers together and furrows his brow intently as he explains the motivations behind his character. Once a normal, everyday kind of guy, Sergeant's life is one day tragically changed, "so he uses the purge as a mechanism to fill what he thinks is justice. I don't think he's a bad guy, and I think he proves that by stopping the car at the very beginning [of the film].
"He goes on to create these relationships while he's running away trying to get these people to safety that he ends up specifically creating a meaningful relationship with the young girl in the group," Grillo says. "She touches his heart and opens him up."
That depth and roundness in a character are something one rarely sees in these sort of quickly produced, niche thriller films, and that is exactly what intrigued Grillo about the role. While there might be some visual indications in the film that Sergeant isn't the nicest of people -- such as his black wardrobe and suspicious talent with weapons -- his trustworthiness is never questioned.
Sergeant is an unlikely hero, and after years of playing the supporting role, Grillo graciously demands to be taken seriously as the protagonist in The Purge: Anarchy.
He smiles with the modesty of a rising leading man and says, "It was great, you know, to be the guy."

Top Cities in Guinea
Travel Tips from people who've been to Guinea
If you are anywhere near Guinea, make your way to Labe and find a car to Douki. Once there ask for Hassan Bah. Hassan is one of the most incredible people I have ever met. He speaks at least six languages fluently and has worked all over the world. He runs a tour guide business that supports not only him and his family, but most of the town. Hassan takes people hiking all over the Douki area to climb buttes and canyons whose beauty is unbelievable.He has creative and fun names for every trail he explores. From the adventures of the "snakes and ladders" and "Indiana Jones world" hikes to the peaceful views of "Bob Marley's stage" this trip will be full of wonder. You also get a chance to hang out with Hassan, his family and any friends that might stop by, but you also get to meet a lot of Douki's residents. This is truely an experience that any traveller would be a fool to miss. Prices were less than $10 US per person for a guide, lodging and food. Lodging is in traditional Fula huts with thatch roofs. Food is cooked by Hassan's wife and it is to die for! The rooms have their own mosquito nets and beds. No running water and if you go in November-January the nights can get kind of chilly. As the roads are kind of tough to travel by the best time to go in my opinion is just after the rainy season in October - December. During this time things are still green and the harmataan winds have not yet stirred up too much dust. It's also not unbearably hot at that time. I would recommend staying around a week or a little longer. Of all my travels, my time spent with Hassan and his family exploring Douki was truly my favorite and most memorable trip of all time! Good tip? (0) There's an old rundown hotel in Coyah, where you should be able to rent a canoe and a guide who takes you around in the mangrove swamps. Very different nature and many, many birds to watch! Bring a hat and sunscreen, though!
This is a thing you comfortably do in much less than a day. Just grab a taxi to Coyah and the Hotel should be close to the main road not long after the city entrance. If you miss the hotel, there are probably many other people willing to offer you the same service for much less, but the question is how reliable that would be... Good tip? (0) Conakry est une grosse cité, 36km de long, une presqu'île certes sale. Je vous conseille de ne pas vous baigner sur les plages de la capitale mais de prendre un bateau direction l'île de Roume. Là vous découvrirez des plages paradisiaques et gouterez au poisson cuit au feu de bois... Un régal !! A conakry il faut surtout faire les marchés : Madina, Niger... mais attention, négociez toujours !! La mosquée est une des plus grandes d'Afrique. Elle est superbe ! Conakry est atypique et est à voir absolument, les gens y sont agréables ! Good tip? (0) Recent Updates for Guinea

System to launch hijackers from planes gets fun 'Nobel' prize
A deceased inventor has been awarded this year's Ig Nobel Prize for Safety Engineering for a system launching hijackers from planes [Credit: US Department of Defense]
Discovery that dung beetles navigate by stars, a machine to launch hijackers from aircraft, or a calculation explaining that it would be possible to run across a surface of a pond if it was located on the Moon, were among achievements awarded by this year's Ig Nobel Prize.
Announced one month ahead of the real Nobel Prize laureates, the quirky prize run by the Annals of Improbable Research has the goal of entertaining and encouraging global research and innovation.
Gustano Pizzo became this year's winner of the safety engineering category with his design of an electro-mechanical system to trap airplane hijackers. The system drops a hijacker through trap doors, seals him into a package, then drops the encapsulated hijacker through the airplane's specially-installed bomb bay doors, whence he parachutes to earth, where police, having been alerted by radio, await his arrival.
Pizzo was awarded the Prize despite being dead since 2006. He had patented the invention in May 1972 under a name "anti-hijacking system for aircraft".
In the physics category, an international team from Italy, UK, Denmark and Switzerland has been awarded the Prize for a discovery that some people would be physically capable of running across the surface of a pond — if those people and that pond were on the Moon.
Other categories include medicine, psychology, astronomy, public health, chemistry, archaeology, peace and probability.
The Prizes were handed out by former real Nobel Prize winners at a ceremony at Harvard University in Cambridge,Massachusetts.
The ceremony included a mini-opera inspired by 1999 Ig Nobel Prize winners George and Charlotte Blonsky, who invented a spinning doctor's table that is meant to aid women in child birth by using centrifugal force.

Publisher's Note What do most accountants and Woody Allen have in common? No, it's not the love of jazz music (well, maybe it is for some of you). Woody is known for pounding out the work and not seeking glorification. The man has been nominated for 16 Academy Awards, won three of them, and has not attended the awards ceremonies. He merely wants to do the work that he loves and doesn't need the spotlight. Sound like most accountants you know? Do the work, do it really well, go home. You gotta admire that.
