Comerica Bank's Michigan Index Down Again In January
DALLAS, March 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Comerica Bank's Michigan Economic Activity Index continued to decrease in January, down 1.6 percentage points to a level of 125.6. January's reading is 54 points, or 74 percent, above the index cyclical low of 72.1. The index averaged 126 for all of 2013, 12 points above the index average for 2012. December's index reading was revised slightly up from 127.1 to 127.2.
"Our Michigan Index fell again in January, its third consecutive decline. Brutal weather has taken its toll on the Michigan economy this winter," said Robert Dye, Chief Economist at Comerica Bank. "Automobile assemblies dropped in January. This reflected both local weather conditions and the drag from weaker-than-expected auto sales nationally. Payroll employment for Michigan was essentially unchanged from June 2013 to January 2014. We expect U.S. auto sales to improve this spring and that will be a positive for Michigan. House prices are firming up statewide and that is also a broad support for the state's economy."
The Michigan Economic Activity Index consists of seven variables, as follows: nonfarm payrolls, exports, sales tax revenues, hotel occupancy rates, continuing claims for unemployment insurance, building permits, and motor vehicle production. All data are seasonally adjusted, as necessary, and indexed to a base year of 2008. Nominal values have been converted to constant dollar values. Index levels are expressed in terms of three-month moving averages.
Comerica Bank, with 214 banking centers in Michigan, is a subsidiary of Comerica Incorporated (NYSE: CMA), a financial services company headquartered in Dallas, Texas, and strategically aligned by three business segments: The Business Bank, The Retail Bank, and Wealth Management. Comerica focuses on relationships, and helping people and businesses be successful.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers composed of proteins contained within a cell's cytoplasm. Although the name implies the cytoskeleton to be stable, it is a dynamic structure, parts of which are constantly destroyed, renewed or newly constructed.[1]
In all cells of all domains of life (archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes) a cytoskeleton is found (notably in all eukaryotic cells, which include human, animal, fungal and plant cells). The cytoskeletal systems of different organisms are composed of similar proteins. However, the structure, function and dynamic behaviour of the cytoskeleton can be very different, depending on organism and cell type.[1][2] Similarly, within the same cell type the structure, dynamic behaviour, and function of the cytoskeleton can change through association with other proteins and the previous history of the network.[3]
The cytoskeleton of eukaryotes (including human and all animal cells) has three major components. The best-known components, present also in prokaryotic cells, are microfilaments (made of the protein actin) and microtubules (made of the protein tubulin) .[2] By contrast intermediate filaments, which have more that 60 different building block proteins, have been found so far only in animal cells (apart from one non-eukaryotic bacterial intermediate filament crescentin).[4] The complexity of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton emerges from the interaction with hundreds of associated proteins, like molecular motors, crosslinkers, capping proteins and nucleation promoting factors.[2][3]
There is a multitude of functions the cytoskeleton can perform. Primarily, it gives the cell shape and mechanical resistance to deformation,[1] so that through association with extracellular connective tissue and other cells it stabilizes entire tissues.[1][4] The cytoskeleton can also actively contract, thereby deforming the cell and the cell's environment and allowing cells to migrate.[3] Moreover, it is involved in many cell signaling pathways, in the uptake of extracellular material (endocytosis),[5] segregates chromosomes during cellular division,[1] is involved in cytokinesis (the division of a mother cell into two daughter cells),[2] provides a scaffold to organize the contents of the cell in space [3] and for intracellular transport (for example, the movement of vesicles and organelles within the cell);[1] and can be a template for the construction of a cell wall.[1] Furthermore, it forms specialized structures, such as flagella, cilia, lamellipodia and podosomes.
A large-scale example of an action performed by the cytoskeleton is muscle contraction. During contraction of a muscle, within each muscle cell, myosin molecular motors collectively excert forces on parallel actin filaments. This action contracts the muscle cell, and through the synchronous process in many muscle cells, the entire muscle.
Eukaryotic cells contain three main kinds of cytoskeletal filaments: microfilaments which are composed of actin, intermediate filaments which have around 70 different proteins as building blocks, and microtubules with tubulin as the basic subunit. The cytoskeleton provides the cell with structure and shape, and by excluding macromolecules from some of the cytosol, it adds to the level of macromolecular crowding in this compartment.[6] Cytoskeletal elements interact extensively and intimately with cellular membranes.[7] A number of small molecule cytoskeletal drugs have been discovered that interact with actin and microtubules. These compounds have proven useful in studying the cytoskeleton and several have clinical applications.
The thinnest filaments found in the cytoskeleton are microfilaments. They are composed of linear polymers of G-actin subunits, and generate force when the growing (plus) end of the filament pushes against a barrier, such as the cell membrane. They also act as tracks for the movement of myosin molecules that attach to the microfilament and "walk" along them. Myosin motoring along F-actin filaments generates contractile forces in so-called actomyosin fibers, both in muscle as well as most non-muscle cell types. Actin structures are controlled by the Rho family of small GTP-binding proteins such as Rho itself for contractile acto-myosin filaments ("stress fibers"), Rac for lamellipodia and Cdc42 for filopodia.
Intermediate filaments are a part of the cytoskeleton of all animals. These filaments, averaging 10 nanometers in diameter, are more stable (strongly bound) than actin filaments, and heterogeneous constituents of the cytoskeleton. Like actin filaments, they function in the maintenance of cell-shape by bearing tension (microtubules, by contrast, resist compression but can also bear tension during mitosis and during the positioning of the centrosome). Intermediate filaments organize the internal tridimensional structure of the cell, anchoring organelles and serving as structural components of the nuclear lamina. They also participate in some cell-cell and cell-matrix junctions. Nuclear lamina exist in all animals and all tissues. Some animals like the fruit fly do not have any cytoplasmic intermediate filaments. In those animals that express cytoplasmic intermediate filaments, these are tissue specific.[4]
Different intermediate filaments are:
Microtubules are hollow cylinders about 23 nm in diameter (lumen = approximately 15 nm in diameter), most commonly comprising 13 protofilaments that, in turn, are polymers of alpha and beta tubulin. They have a very dynamic behavior, binding GTP for polymerization. They are commonly organized by the centrosome.
In nine triplet sets (star-shaped), they form the centrioles, and in nine doublets oriented about two additional microtubules (wheel-shaped), they form cilia and flagella. The latter formation is commonly referred to as a "9+2" arrangement, wherein each doublet is connected to another by the protein dynein. As both flagella and cilia are structural components of the cell, and are maintained by microtubules, they can be considered part of the cytoskeleton.
They play key roles in:
Cytoskeleton type[8] | Diameter (nm)[9] | Structure | Subunit examples[8] |
Microfilaments | 6 | double helix | actin |
Intermediate filaments | 10 | two anti-parallel helices/dimers, forming tetramers |
Microtubules | 23 | protofilaments, in turn consisting of tubulin subunits in complex with stathmin[10] | α- and β-tubulin |
Septins are a group of highly conserved GTP binding proteins found in eukaryotes. Different septins form protein complexes with each other. These can assemble to filaments and rings. Therefore, septins can be considered part of the cytoskeleton.[11] The function of septins in cells include serving as a localized attachment site for other proteins, and preventing the diffusion of certain molecules from one cell compartment to another.[11] In yeast cells, they build scaffolding to provide structural support during cell division and compartmentalize parts of the cell. Recent research in human cells suggests that septins build cages around bacterial pathogens, immobilizing the harmful microbes and preventing them from invading other cells.[12]
In budding yeast (an important model organism), actin forms cortical patches, actin cables, and a cytokinetic ring and the cap. Cortical patches are discrete actin bodies on the membrane and are important for endocytosis, especially the recycling of glucan synthase which is important for cell wall synthesis. Actin cables are bundles of actin filaments and are involved in the transport of vesicles towards the cap (which contains a number of different proteins to polarize cell growth) and in the positioning of mitochondria. The cytokinetic ring forms and constricts around the site of cell division.[13]
The cytoskeleton was once thought to be a feature only of eukaryotic cells, but homologues to all the major proteins of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton have been found in prokaryotes.[14] Although the evolutionary relationships are so distant that they are not obvious from protein sequence comparisons alone, the similarity of their three-dimensional structures and similar functions in maintaining cell shape and polarity provides strong evidence that the eukaryotic and prokaryotic cytoskeletons are truly homologous.[15] However, some structures in the bacterial cytoskeleton may have yet to be identified.[16]
FtsZ was the first protein of the prokaryotic cytoskeleton to be identified. Like tubulin, FtsZ forms filaments in the presence of guanosine triphosphate (GTP), but these filaments do not group into tubules. During cell division, FtsZ is the first protein to move to the division site, and is essential for recruiting other proteins that synthesize the new cell wall between the dividing cells.
Prokaryotic actin-like proteins, such as MreB, are involved in the maintenance of cell shape. All non-spherical bacteria have genes encoding actin-like proteins, and these proteins form a helical network beneath the cell membrane that guides the proteins involved in cell wall biosynthesis.
Some plasmids encode a partitioning system that involves an actin-like protein ParM. Filaments of ParM exhibit dynamic instability, and may partition plasmid DNA into the dividing daughter cells by a mechanism analogous to that used by microtubules during eukaryotic mitosis.
The bacterium Caulobacter crescentus contains a third protein, crescentin, that is related to the intermediate filaments of eukaryotic cells. Crescentin is also involved in maintaining cell shape, such as helical and vibrioid forms of bacteria, but the mechanism by which it does this is currently unclear.[17]
By definition, the cytoskeleton is composed of proteins that can form longitudinal arrays (fibres) in all organisms. These filament forming proteins have been classified into 4 classes. Tubulin-like, actin-like, Walker A cytoskeletal ATPases (WACA-proteins), and intermediate filaments. [2]
Tubulin-like proteins are tubulin in eukaryotes and FtsZ, TubZ, RepX in prokaryotes. Actin-like proteins are actin in eukaryotes and MreB, FtsA in prokaryotes. An example of a WACA-proteins, which are mostly found in prokaryotes, is MinD. Examples for intermediate filaments, which have almost exclusively been found in animals (i.e. eukaryotes) are the lamins, keratins, vimentin, neurofilaments, desmin. [2]
Although tubulin-like proteins share some amino acid sequence similarity, their similarity in protein-fold and the similarity in the GTP binding site is more striking. The same holds true for the actin-like proteins and their structure and ATP binding domain. [2]
Cytoskeletal proteins are usually associated with cell shape, DNA segregation and cell division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Which proteins fulfill which task is very different. For example DNA segregation in all eukaryotes happens through use of tubulin, but in prokaryotes either WACA proteins, actin-like or tubulin-like proteins can be used. Cell division is mediated in eukaryotes by actin, but in prokaryotes usually by tubulin-like (often FtsZ-ring) proteins and sometimes (Crenarchaeota) ESCRT-III, which in eukaryotes still has a role in the last step of division. [2]
In 1903, Nikolai K Koltsov proposed that the shape of cells was determined by a network of tubules that he termed the cytoskeleton. The concept of a protein mosaic that dynamically coordinated cytoplasmic biochemistry was proposed by Rudolph Peters in 1929 [18] while the term (cytosquelette, in French) was first introduced by French embryologist Paul Wintrebert in 1931.[19]
A fourth eukaryotic cytoskeletal element, microtrabeculae, was proposed by Keith Porter based on images obtained from high-voltage electron microscopy of whole cells in the 1970s.[20] The images showed short, filamentous structures of unknown molecular composition associated with known cytoplasmic structures. Porter proposed that this microtrabecular structure represented a novel filamentous network distinct from microtubules, filamentous actin, or intermediate filaments. It is now generally accepted that microtrabeculae are nothing more than an artifact of certain types of fixation treatment, although the complexity of the cell's cytoskeleton is not yet fully understood.[21]

Coronado Biosciences Announces Initiation Of Investigator-Initiated Study Evaluating TSO In Psoriasis
Multiple investigator-sponsored clinical trials of TSO for the treatment of Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and multiple sclerosis have been completed, in which TSO demonstrated benefit with regard to accepted outcome measurements of remission of disease, and was shown to be well tolerated. In an open-label clinical trial with 29 patients reported in GUT in January 2005, TSO was shown to induce clinical remission in over 72% of patients with Crohn's disease after 24 weeks of treatment using the Crohn's Disease Activity Index as the primary outcome variable. As reported in the American Journal of Gastroenterology in April 2005, in a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled trial in 54 patients with ulcerative colitis, TSO was shown to produce statistically significantly more responders than those treated with placebo (43.3% vs. 16.7%, p=.04).

I thought Elmo and letters it should be a good one. Boy was I right. My kids love going to visit the different sesame street characters and go to the many places and explore to find the letters they need. It even has a bonus round that tries to teach kids how to start spelling.
It keeps them going for hours while teaching them something every kid gets drilled on at that age. It is a must have for any 2-5 year old learning their alphabet. It has really taught mine theirs even the stubborn one who has not really wanted to learn....she can sing her abc's now because of it.
The controls are easy for a 2 yr old to do without mom and dads help. That is hard to do sometimes....finding things that make them feel big!!!!

To Disagree Without Being Disagreeable
Posted By Jessica Fisher On March 23, 2013 @ 8:08 pm In Joyful Womanhood | 5 Comments
We live in an age where it's often looked down upon to disagree. Whether it's the work place, the political arena, the church, the school, or home, many of us are encouraged to shush.
Don't rock the boat. Don't cause trouble. Don't say what you really think.
I think it's pretty sad. The result, as I see it, is a lot of folks not using logic and reasoning. And a lot of people getting walked on.
Have they been conditioned out of it? Has someone neglected to teach them how to think? I don't know. But frankly, it's disconcerting.
In my own home I see this on a smaller level as I observe siblings and how they interact, how disagreements, misunderstandings, and emotions get in the way of hearing and being heard.
This week several children and I had a conversation about disagreeing without being disagreeable. We can't possibly all agree on everything, but we can do it kindly and without purposely offending the other person. This includes:
All too often I see adults doing these things. Is this "just the way the world is"? Or is there something we can do about it?
Oh that I would be one who disagrees in a reasonable way, that I would not "go along to get along" at the cost of truth, that I would be able to speak the truth in love. And oh! That my children would know this.
So tell me…

Somebody has to speak for these people. Y'all got on this boat for different reasons, but y'all come to the same place. So now I'm asking more of you than I have before. Maybe all. Sure as I know anything, I know thisthey will try again. Maybe on another world, maybe on this very ground swept clean. A year from now, ten? They'll swing back to the belief that they can make people...better. And I do not hold to that. So no more runnin'. I aim to misbehave. Mal Reynolds Serenity/Firefly

Total sensory depravation, the extent to which they can go I won't walk through, is an old albeit complex enhanced interrogation technique.
Wonder what it would sound like to fire a gun in there
"You can all go to Hell and I will go to Texas"
dang! i could last for days in that room! it would be like a vacation for me!
I cannot experience total sensory deprivation at this point, my P.I.T.A. tinnitis is a constant companion. Having said that, the hissing would probably drive me nucking futs!!

text: quote:Charlie Weis? tenure at Kansas has gotten off to a rough start as the Jayhawks are 1?4 on the 2012 season. Still, it?s much too early for KU to give up on its season. Right? Well, Weis is apparently more of a pragmatist. He announced during Monday?s Big 12 conference call that on Sunday he only practiced with players who will be on next year?s team. That?s right, a football practice with no seniors. ?We practiced without seniors Sunday. We need to develop younger players for the future,? Weis said. He also clarified that while the seniors didn?t practice they did spend the day running and lifting weights. While we understand the need to give younger players more playing time, it doesn?t seem fair for seniors to be cut out of practice after they put three-and-a-half years of their lives into the program. If the Jayhawks come out flat in their Saturday home game against Oklahoma State, look no further than this baffling coaching tactic as the reason why.

When you get into the larger aircraft it becomes like a hotel, with dozens of staff supporting the plane based in a galley area down below. You have very comprehensive cooking facilities, and on larger aircraft we have looked at theatres, with spiral staircases and a Steinway grand piano. The limitations for what you can put inside a plane are pretty much the limits of physics, and even money cannot always overcome that. Even so, people are still always trying to push [the limits].

WKSU-FM's Vivian Goodman Honored as a Broadcast Legend
Posted Apr, 5, 2010Vivian Goodman, reporter, producer and local host of radio programs "Fresh Air" and "All Things Considered" that are broadcast on WKSU-FM, Kent State University's award-winning NPR News and Classical Music public radio station, has received recognition for her career in radio by the Cleveland Association of Broadcasters. Goodman, a resident of Cleveland, has been chosen as one of the "20 Broadcast Legacy Award Inductees" and will formally receive the recognition at a gala luncheon event in Cleveland on April 7.
In 1990, the Cleveland Association of Broadcasters established an annual award honoring people in the Cleveland broadcast industry, who – through their creativity, dedication and vision – have made a substantial contribution to the growth and success of the industry in Cleveland. This year, in celebration of the 20th annual luncheon, the organization has decided to recognize an additional 20 legends in Cleveland broadcasting.
"I'm extremely humbled and happy," Goodman said. "To be recognized by my peers in this way, especially when others on the list are such greats, is such an honor."
The 20 legends list includes Northeast Ohio broadcasting greats like Joe Finan, Len Goldburg, Jack Parr and Paige Palmer.
"I was in some disbelief when I looked at this list of people I admired, even before I thought of becoming a broadcaster and also admired during my career," Goodman said. "So many of them are gone, and to be honored in my lifetime along with them is really wonderful."
Goodman graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in philosophy from the University of Chicago in 1970. She first went on the air at the campus station, WHPK-FM, as host of a weekly satirical news program. She moved from there into reporting including covering the Chicago Seven conspiracy trial.
Goodman started working in commercial radio in Akron at WHLO-AM. She has worked mostly in radio news since then, in Cleveland and in Washington, D.C., for nine years. Goodman also had two stints as a congressional press secretary for Congressman Louis Stokes in 1974 and for Congressman Eric Fingerhut in 1994. She also spent three and a half years as director of communications for North Coast Cable in Cleveland. In 1996, Goodman began working for WKSU-FM.
"A great number of pieces I do are about the arts," Goodman said. "This has a lot to do with the fact that I am on the air from 3 to 6 p.m. every day. I can do a gallery tour or attend a rehearsal in the morning and take a day or two to produce the piece, which is more time than I have with other kinds of stories."
Her stories include the story of Clara Wolcott of Tallmadge, Ohio, the designer of Tiffany Lamps; interviews with composers Pierre Boulez and Marc Andre Dalbavie; the story of the Stow Symphony Orchestra's premiere of a work by composer Joan Tower; and a remembrance of Cleveland rock radio history.
"I think the most personally compelling and memorable interview I ever did was a prison interview," she said. "It was with a man named David Roth, who started a program that was known as Cleveland Works. The program was about getting people out of welfare and getting them to work. He was so innovative with this idea, a young idealistic lawyer who really cared about improving the lives of others. Roth had also been one of the founders of the Free Clinic in Cleveland."
The most poignant part of Roth's story is that Roth had a private demon that he could ultimately not vanquish. "Roth was a secret heroin addict, and he died in prison," Goodman added. "Prior to his death, I interviewed him about his life and where he thought it went wrong."
Goodman looks forward to many more years of telling many more intriguing stories about intriguing people in her favorite story-telling medium – over the radio waves.

For 13 years you couldn't legally buy a glass of beer in the U.S. It's a sobering fact that most Americans who lived through those dark years didn't like to talk or even think about afterward, but the fact is that Prohibition occurred.
And the general reluctance to remember those times was based on the very nasty and unanticipated side effects they created. The ban gave Americans organized crime networks (which included the Irish), a huge new national market and the cash power to corrupt all the institutions and individuals that got in their way.
HBO's critically acclaimed Boardwalk Empire tells one crucial chapter in the history of that era, resulting in a staggering 18 Emmy nominations (and seven actual wins) for the show that has already broken records as the most expensive in television history.
Fans of season one were thrilled to learn that critics have already billed season two (which started on Sunday) as even stronger than the first. The lavish period detail, the brilliant characterization that requests and rewards your patience and the consistently strong scripts mean that the show has genuinely found its legs, and fans of great drama can look forward to a thrilling autumn schedule.
As the ongoing story of Nucky Thompson, the undisputed ruler of Atlantic City who was equal parts politician and gangster unfolds this season, we're introduced to a brand new Irish character played by British newcomer Charlie Cox.
'Boardwalk Empire' aces its St.Patrick's Day episode - HBO hit gets its Irish up
Irish star Jason O'Mara's new sci-fi show 'Terra Nova' premieres - VIDEO
Trailer for Liam Neeson's tense adventure movie 'The Grey' - VIDEO
Cast as a young and possibly on-the-run former IRA man from Belfast (we're not going to say if he is for certain, and neither is Cox because that would be considered spoilers) Cox's new role is the biggest professional boost of his young career – and it may well be thanks to his pal and sometime mentor Robert De Niro (the pair starred together in the romantic fantasy Stardust a few years back).
But as an uppercrust Englishman in an Irish role, the first question is how did he learn the Belfast accent?
"I have friends from Ireland and I mimicked them a little bit to begin with for my first audition," Cox, 28, tells the Irish Voice from his parents' home in France (where's he gone to recover from Boardwalk's punishing production schedule) this week.
"I also watched The Commitments over a dozen times, and when I got the invite to audition in New York I discovered that the character came from Belfast, so then the pressure was really on."
Cox did what any enterprising young actor desperate to find a completely different Irish accent in a pinch did -- he Googled the Internet. Eventually, via the iTunes music store, he found a link to a Christian evangelical website made in Belfast and he created his accent in the show based on what he heard.
"From that podcast I found a perfect Belfast accent and I now know more about Jesus than I ever thought I would," laughs Cox, who in his personal life is a British public school boy with a Catholic background.
"Of course I also researched the kind of life he might have had and the strife he would have known in the Ireland of that period. Believe it or not I also read Angela's Ashes -- which is a remarkable book -- and I realized how arriving in Atlantic City where literally anything was possible must have blown my character's mind after the life he had led up to that point. I keep that inner tension and awareness burning all the way through the new season."
Cox is under a blanket ban from the shows producers not to reveal too much about his character's personal arc in season two because they don't want the Internet to light up with spoilers spread by obsessive fans of the show.
"What I can tell you is that he is very concerned with what's going on in his homeland and that there's a reason he stays around Atlantic City, although he could conceivably return to Ireland at any time," Cox offers.
Fans of the epic series may be surprised to know how close to filming time the scripts for Boardwalk Empire actually arrive. If you thought the entire season was written and in the can before the first cameras rolled you'd be quite wrong -- often actors learn their characters fate just a few weeks before they shoot the scene.
"That kind of schedule keeps you fresh as an actor, and it means that you don't get complacent about what's going to happen to the person you're playing. But the whole of acting is the same. You're just one step away from your next job or your last one and that awareness should stop you from becoming conceited or complacent," says Cox.

As a ground maintenance contractor, I use this Centurion MZ Windy Vac Petrol Garden Vac most days.
In the past I have used IBEA garden vacs, but find the Windy Vac more than adequate for the job.
The Ibea 700mm wide unit has a 5hp B&S engine and the Windy Vac has a 4hp B&S engine. The Ibea costs around £900 and the Windy Vac costs £330!!!!

Write a ReviewReview of International OT-3012 Entry Table, Unfinished
By Jan from Virginia on Mar 12, 2012
Bargain Hunter
Table was sturdy and did not "rock" when assembled which was a huge plus. Directions were clear and I, not tool inclined, was able to put the legs on in 10 minutes. All but one assembly piece was in a closed plastic bag, no loose pieces in the box. However, the screw for the drawer knob--which was sticking out of the knob and not in the plastic bag--was badly bent so I substituted a screw of like size. By doing so, i ruined the threads and had to have a friend fix it for me. This could have been avoided if the knob screw was in the bag with the other pieces.

ARGUS LEADER: Gant trashes trust placed by voters
Since he became secretary of state almost three years ago, Jason Gant has flirted with ethical boundaries, flexed his political muscle in a traditionally nonpartisan office and dodged public responsibility for every misstep.

Russia said on Wednesday that NATO should investigate last year's computer virus attack on a Russian-built nuclear [...]

Arbroath V Forfar at Gayfield Park : Match Preview
Arbroath V Forfar - view commentary, squad, and statistics of the game live.
Milne in fitness race
Arbroath player-manager Paul Sheerin will finalise his side for the Angus derby against Forfar after a late fitness check on striker Steven Milne.
Ricky Little is still out with a foot problem, but Alex Keddie will return from a month out with a back problem.
The Gayfield side will be without a back-up goalkeeper after they parted company with Tony Bullock this week.
Lari Yoa could start after scoring a hat-trick in a midweek bounce game and Sheerin said: "Lari looked sharp and he's in my thoughts to face Forfar. We played well in our last derby and beat Brechin.
"A repeat of that would be terrific."
Forfar will be without the injured Derek Soutar (shoulder), Mark McCulloch (knee), Martyn Fotheringham (ankle) and Keith Gibson (knee) again with manager Dick Campbell set to name the same team that lost 1-0 to Rangers last weekend.
Campbell said: "When we beat Rangers earlier this season we were poor for the next month afterwards.
"We got a lot of credit for our performance last week, but I'm looking for the players to just get on with things now, starting with a win at Gayfield.
"Arbroath will be really keen to stop us from winning and climbing above them in the table."

Icarus - ProloguePrologueScreams. Then darkness. Then again screams accompagnated by a ear-bursting sound, something thatwas literally skull drilling him. A slow movement in an attempt to sit up, as his first perceptions were not clear on how he was standing. What was certain though was that his life was close to its end. He looked around, at the civilians running around, screaming crushing eachother in a desperate run for their salvation. He didn't bother about following them. He knew that following them would be useless. If once the underground and the old mines would have given to them safety, sicne the invention of the diffraction bomb, nowhere was safe. Nowhere. With a trembling hand he pushed away the hair that was falling on his face and he looked up in the reddening sky. He knew that somewhere up there were orbiting the remains of one of the humanity's biggest space stations ever created. The Poseidon station didn't last long. It lasted just enough to show to the overcrowded planet one of the

Football: Koke winner sees Atletico past Barcelona into semis
Published on Apr 10, 2014 5:58 AM
MADRID (AFP) - Atletico Madrid progressed to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 40 years with a 1-0 win over Barcelona on Wednesday, April 9, 2014, to seal a 2-1 aggregate victory.
Koke put the hosts in front after just five minutes as he volleyed home Adrian Lopez's headed pass.
Atletico also hit the woodwork three times in the first-half, but were given a late scare as Neymar came within inches of taking the game to extra time when his header went just wide.
Defeat ends Barcelona's run of reaching six straight Champions League semi-finals.

People have such condemnation for the ordinary. I have tremendous respect for it because the ordinary is the real. God is the most ordinary thing in existence - has to be. How can he be special? - compared to what, compared to whom? He alone is, he cannot be special. He can only be ordinary, as ordinary as the rose and the peacock and the eagle, and the river and the rock and the cloud.
But Aniruddha must have had a desire deep down to become special. People search for masters in order to become special. People search for masters out of their ego desires. The very search is an ego trip. Then naturally, one day you will be disillusioned. That was your illusion; I have nothing to do with it. If you project something on me, how am I supposed to be responsible for it? You project; sooner or later your projection will fall down. In fact, I will help in every way so that it is broken, shattered, so that you can see me as I am, so that one day you can see yourself too as you are.
My whole teaching is drop all these stupid efforts to become special, extraordinary. Just enjoy reality as it is - wherever you are, whosoever you are. Celebrate it. This I call prayer, this I call being religious: celebrating one's being. It is a gift from God. Just to be is more than you can ask for. Just to be is the greatest miracle. What more of a miracle can happen?
Venu Gopal, something tremendously beautiful is on the way. Don't create any more illusions again. The mind will try. Don't listen to the mind. Remain disillusioned. It will be a kind of dying, because you have lived up to now through illusions. That has been your nourishment. You will feel like dying. But die - and with this death a new life will arise in you, you will be resurrected. Let this be a death - and a total death. Don't die in a lukewarm way; die totally, wholly. Allow this death to happen, and the next moment, out of this death, some new life arises that you have not seen and that has been always within you - but you were not available to see it.
And to Aniruddha also I would like to say: It is very good, Aniruddha. Now you are seeing my reality. I am an ordinary man and I am here to make you ordinary also. I am here to help you come out of your ego trips. I am here to help you to celebrate this immense ordinariness. Only then are you grateful to God.
What are you trying to do - trying to become somebody else, trying to decorate yourself? But all those decorations will be falsifications. You can never be anybody else, you can only be yourself. There is no way for the roseflower to become a lotus. There is no way for the lotus to become a roseflower. You can only be yourself. If you allow it there will be celebration, because there will be no possibility of misery, and the energy that becomes misery becomes celebration. If you don't allow it to move into becoming misery, what else will you do? It is the same energy that cries in you - it can become laughter. It is the same energy that becomes hate in you, sour, bitter - it becomes love. It is the same energy that can become destruction - it becomes creation. The energy is not different. When you are engaged in an ego trip of becoming somebody special, then your whole life will be nothing but a long tragedy.

America, Observed: Garry Winogrand's Show Opens at SFMOMA
"I feel like the world is a place I bought a ticket to," the photographer Garry Winogrand is quoted saying in Garry Winogrand, now at SFMOMA. This unprecedentedly comprehensive exhibition, consisting of hundreds of snapshot photographs taken between the early 1950s and the time of the prolific artist's early death in 1984, offers viewers a ringside seat to the unique spectacle of American society as it mutated over the course of those incredible decades–an opportunity not to be passed up.
A First Look at SFMOMA's Offsite Programming
If you're fearing modern art withdrawal when SFMOMA shuts its doors on June 3 for its two-and-a-half-year-long expansion, rest assured. The museum has planned robust offsite programming to give you the culture fix you crave. Here's what to look out for around town.

SFMOMA Traces the Roots Of Mexican Culture and Politics Through Photographs
Modern-day Mexico is troubled, to speak mildly. Riddled with inequality and corruption, awash in drug violence and poverty, our southern neighbor's urban centers at times seem to border on dystopian. One has to ask, just how did such a state of affairs come to be? SFMOMA's Photography in Mexico addresses an intimately related question. In showing where generations of Mexican photographers aimed their lenses, the exhibition traces not so much how Mexico got here, but what it has been like along the way.
Photo Preview of SFMOMA's Expansion
By now, we've all been tantalized by the talk of SFMOMA's grand plans to expand the current museum. Yesterday, SFMOMA and design firm Snøhetta unveiled the mock-ups of the plan for the mammoth new wing, which will include an expanded photography collection, a dedicated architecture and design area, and the incomparable Fisher collection (which will be integrated with SFMOMA's own collection).
Three New Exhibits at SFMOMA Are Outspoken, Brilliant and Tragic
SFMOMA's front atrium sports a handsome new fixture, and its middle floors have some outspoken new tenets. While Jim Campbell's twinkling LED-light sculpture, Exploded Views, runs no risk of going unseen, The Air We Breathe and Francesca Woodman must vie for viewers' attention in the shadow of a behemoth – namely, the smash-hit Richard Serra Drawing retrospective upstairs. To overlook these smaller exhibitions, one a poignant resounding on same-sex equality, the other a fascinating glimpse of a brilliant and tragic individual, would be a crime.

It's probably safe to assume the FBI allegations are false. No one smart enough to pull this off is going to straight up give you the source, and that source makes zero sense to anyone who isn't a conspiracy theorist.
So far as Apple goes, they never claimed to be hack-proof. Their claims of greater-than-Windows security were simply very easy to make considering the target, and the fact that Apple has generally more sound design and in-house control of their products. But as a reader pointed out, the more popular you are, the more of a target you are.
So the focus should be on proactive preventative measures, not they blame game, which rarely makes any progress. Focus on your own security and common sense measures to keep your information safe.
