Monolaurin Kills H. Pylori
Byron's Comments:
A tool to help regulate H. Pyloria from getting out of control. We now know H. Pyloria is a normal inhabitant of your digestive tract and needs to be kept in check.
Study Title:Bactericidal effects of fatty acids and monoglycerides on Helicobacter pylori.
Study Abstract:
The susceptibility of Salmonella spp., Escherichia coli and Helicobacter pylori to fatty acids and monoglycerides was studied. None of the lipids showed significant antibacterial activity against Salmonella spp. and E. coli but eight of 12 lipids tested showed high activity against H. pylori, monocaprin and monolaurin being the most active. The high activity of monoglycerides against H. pylori suggests that they may be useful as active ingredients in pharmaceutical formulations.

Undergraduate Studies Committee
Undergraduate Student Committee
The Undergraduate Molecular Biology Committee is here to serve you. Our role is to act as the liaison between students in the department and the faculty. During monthly meetings, led by Dr. Lynn Enquist, we discuss students' concerns regarding courses, professors, TAs, workloads and exam schedules. Basically, if we (the students) don't like something, the department will change it (within reason of course - so please don't request the complete elimination of Biochemistry)!
The committee is a forum to suggest possible improvements. One of our goals is to increase the interaction between faculty and students. We have already begun to implement new things the department can do to create more opportunities for undergrads to "hang out" with Nobel Prize winners and other leaders in various fields of research. We are always looking for new ideas and our primary responsibility is to relay any comments or complaints you have - so be sure to contact any committee member who will ensure that your input is addressed.
Undergraduate Teaching Mission
Students concentrating in Molecular Biology will attain both breadth and depth in Molecular Biology and associated areas of science.
We expect all students to acquire broad mastery of the core disciplines that form the basis of modern Molecular Biology. The overall topic is covered by formal instruction in the introductory Gateway courses (MOL 215/EEB 215 Quantitative Principles in Cell and Molecular Biology or MOL 214 Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology ) or the Integrated Science program (ISC 235 and ISC 236) and further elaborated in the Core courses (Genetics, Biochemistry, Cell and Developmental Biology, Core laboratory). Students pursuing certificates in associated multi-disciplinary fields may substitute other courses for specific designated Core courses.
We expect that all students will acquire depth in their chosen sub-discipline within Molecular Biology. Students will be able to pursue topics in greater detail and sophistication in upper level courses, which will emphasize current topics and readings from the primary literature.
We firmly believe that the best way to learn science is by doing science. All students in Molecular Biology will be expected to apply their knowledge and skills to the practical acquisition of new scientific knowledge. All students in Molecular Biology will do original independent research beginning in the spring of junior year, continuing throughout the senior year, and culminating in the senior thesis. Students may elect to begin independent research earlier than junior year.
We expect students to gain mastery in all aspects of the practice of scientific research. Beginning with the Core lab and continuing through the independent work, students will have multiple opportunities for learning and applying all aspects of modern scientific research. In addition to becoming scholars in their field, they will become adept at the formulation of testable hypotheses, the planning and execution of well controlled experiments, the thorough analysis/interpretation of data, and the formal presentation of their findings.
Junior Independent Work
Beginning with the junior independent work, students will read extensively from the primary literature, the principal mode of scientific communication. A major goal of the fall semester will be to learn how to do critical analysis of the formal scientific literature. In the spring of the junior year, students will meet in individual tutorials with their faculty advisors. The goals of the spring semester are four-fold. First, students are asked to master the relevant background literature and context for their research project. Second, students will learn to formulate hypotheses and design experiments to test the hypotheses critically. Third, at the end of the spring semester, students will integrate the relevant background literature with their ideas for future research to generate a research plan in the form of a grant proposal. The writing of the grant proposal will give students direct experience in the formal communication of scientific hypotheses. Finally, the spring semester and succeeding summer are the times when all students begin the research for their Senior Theses.
Senior Research
The capstone of the Princeton degree is the opportunity for all students to conduct original research in their chosen field of study. Over the course of the year, students will work both independently, and under supervision, to plan and conduct experiments to advance scientific knowledge, with due attention to proper controls. These students will be expected to analyze and interpret critically the results of experiments, to use the conclusions of individual experiments to plan and revise subsequent experiments, and to integrate their knowledge from all sources. Students choosing to do non-experimental thesis research will, likewise, be expected to describe thoroughly, and analyze critically the full body of experimental work on a topic directly related to Molecular Biology. As their research progresses, students will have several opportunities to present their work in the form of poster presentations to their peers, to graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and members of the faculty. At regular intervals, students will give formal oral presentations to the members of their laboratories or to the group of students doing non-experimental theses and their advisors.
Senior Thesis
Ultimately, students will formally describe their research in the form of a written thesis. Taking the form of an extended science paper, the thesis will describe all aspects of the research, from the context and hypothesis, through the materials and methods, to the results, conclusions, and discussion. The thesis will be read and evaluated by three faculty readers, including the advisor, who will evaluate all aspects of the thesis research. Finally, the student will defend the thesis orally before the two non-advisor readers. The oral defense will provide an opportunity to assess the students' ability to discuss their research, test their knowledge of the discipline, and their ability to extend their research by proposing new hypotheses and experiments to test them.
Undergraduate Program Overview
Undergraduates in the Department of Molecular Biology are actively engaged in cutting–edge research in a fast-paced and innovative area of modern science.
Princeton University provides a unique learning experience, in which every undergraduate student completes a Senior Thesis as the culmination of their educational career. Often recalled by alumni as their single most profound and meaningful experience at Princeton, the Senior Thesis allows students to combine and apply 4 years of scholarship into an original research effort. In the Department of Molecular Biology, the Senior Thesis is a remarkable opportunity for students to work in the laboratories of world famous scientists, conducting experimental research at the frontiers of modern science.
Princeton is known for its warm collegiality and its nurturing environment for students, while still challenging them to attain the highest levels of intellectual achievement. The Department of Molecular Biology is home to almost 60 fulltime and associated faculty, housed in 4 adjacent buildings. Each year, between fifty and sixty students choose Molecular Biology for their concentration, insuring that each student receives a high degree of individual attention while pursuing their research.
The Molecular Biology Undergraduate web pages are designed to provide information to prospective students and current majors regarding degree requirements, courses, research opportunities, study-abroad options, as well as junior & senior independent work.
If after browsing these pages you still have questions, feel free to contact a member of the current senior class for an inside perspective.
Visiting the Department
Prospective students will have an opportunity to receive detailed information about the program, tour the department, and meet with students and faculty. Tours and meetings with students/faculty must be arranged in advance. To make an appointment, please contact Elena Chiarchiaro, Manager of Student Services, to arrange a visit.

Office of the Registrar: Timetable of Courses
The undergraduate research program begins in the junior year after students have declared their majors. Starting in the fall of the junior year , Molecular Biology students are expected to read, understand, and write critiques of the primary scientific literature. In the spring, juniors take an advanced project-based laboratory course and begin their independent work in one of the research laboratories affiliated with the department. The independent research continues through the summer and the senior year. Oral presentations and poster sessions are required throughout to encourage students to gain expertise in data presentation. At the end of the senior year, students present their research findings in an original thesis. Upon graduation, Molecular Biology students have gained a strong academic foundation as well as important research skills that prove invaluable in their future careers.

Director of DTS-Washington, D.C.
BS, Kansas State University, 1999; ThM, Systematic Theology, Dallas Theological Seminary, 2004; DEdMin, Dallas Theological Seminary, current student.
Serving with DTS since: Fall 2002
Over my years at DTS, first as a student and now as a staff member, I've been blown away by the "do it all with excellence" attitude that we all share. I graduated from DTS in 2004 with the ThM and all I can say is, "Wow." The trustworthy training I received from Dallas Theological Seminary revolutionized my life. And now with our growing presence at DTS-D.C. in Manassas, VA, I'm more excited than I've ever been! I've seen the Lord's hand move in supernatural ways. He is doing something very special here in D.C., and I'd love for you to experience it, too!
I'd love to have you as our guest at a Day at DTS event, or any other day of the year we're open! You'll never regret it. Get in touch so I can help!
What are your hobbies or outside interests?
I love to walk my dog, listen to music, and study theology. I'm also a shutterbug.
What made you decide to go to DTS?
How much time do you have? Of course the alumni and faculty were key, but even more was the curriculum. When you stack a DTS degree up against any other, there's simply no comparison—DTS has more bible, theology, and ministry courses, as well as character development, than any others I've seen. All 66 books. Just sayin'.
What do you do on your day off?
Spend time with my sweetheart, Eva, and learn about the wisdom of God by studying his creation. This may involve Scripture, music, film, fellowship, nature…or all of the above.
What are your favorite foods?
Fruit, grilled veggies, homemade tortillas, and dark chocolate.
What is your favorite television show of all time?
Cheers, Frasier, LOST, Everybody Loves Raymond.
What is the best part about working in the DTS admissions office?
Coming to work is like coming home.
What is your favorite piece of literature?
Currently, Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.
What is your favorite quote?
"...blessings not just for the ones who kneel...luckily." - Bono
What is your favorite musical artist/group/genre of music?
An impossible question! I like The Arcade Fire, The Black Crowes, The Black Keys, Blind Melon, Calexico, Charlie Hall, Coldplay, DMB, Death Cab, Depeche Mode, The Doors, Duran Duran, Fleet Foxes, Jimi, Zeppelin, Metallica, The Music, The Oh Hellos, Over the Rhine, Pink Floyd, The Police, Poor Old Lu, Project 86, Radiohead, RATM, Simon & Garfunkel, Soundgarden, U2, The Who.
Who is the person you admire most and why?
Scott Horrell. He's the Scripture's picture of the "pastor-teacher."
Greg Hatteberg, Dean of Enrollment and Alumni Services. Because of him, I know what it looks like to be a man of God.
Who is your favorite Bible character and why?
Phineas. That dude had a passion for the truth, and the Lord honored him for it.
If you could have superhero powers, what would they be?
If I believed in reincarnation (and I don't), I would want to come back as a bird.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
St. John, USVI, or Lake City, CO.

Anyone reading DC's Identity Crisis ? It's causing quite a stir among DC faithful and has even gotten a mention in my local paper(The Kansas City Star).
July 28th, 2004, 01:44 AM #49
I've got standing orders for the first time in years:
Yes, pretty pathetic, but I'd given up collecting singles until recently. Also, I'm not sure about Wanted, it's interesting but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
July 28th, 2004, 11:45 PM #50
I'm reading Identity Crisis right now, and enjoying it. But, it definitely is a little darker in tone than I suspected.
But, I've never really followed DC comics till just recently, so, why all the hub bub??

Finished reading the mini-series by Alan Davis Another Nail, a sequel to the wonderful, The Nail. The second time around, Davis doesn't touch the neatness( for lack of a better word) of the previous series. Another Nail is not as fun and interesting, but still I was entertained.
Looking forward to the Batman event "War Games" starting next month. A 24 issue crossover of most of the Bat Titles, this one sounds very interesting and I am hoping for the changes that have been suggested.

The Ballad of Halo Jones volumes one, two and three; script by Alan Moore; artist by Ian Gibson.
Wow. Coincidentally, re 2000AD, a friend has lent me all his specials dedicated to The Ballad of Halo Jones, covering every issue featuring the eponymous heroine's science fiction adventures. They are so old the ink rubs off on my fingers . In volume one Halo Jones is an eighteen-year old girl who lives in a hellish mega-city called The Hoop on 50th-Century Earth. The story takes place over one day and follows Halo's comical misadventures on a shopping trip.

I am well into volume two of The Ballad of Halo Jones written by Alan Moore and drawn by Ian Gibson. Halo is now serving as a stewardess on a year-long space voyage on The Clara Pandy.
October 11th, 2004, 12:04 AM #55
Ooh, that sounds like it would be something I'd like to read... I love Alan Moore's stuff. How are you finding it so far?
October 11th, 2004, 10:35 PM #56
I am now reading volume 3 of The Ballad of Halo Jones, script by Alan Moore and art by Ian Gibson. Halo is now 29 years-old and destitute on a dustbowl world called PWUC. With nothing better to do, she enlists in the Armed Forces, and is engaged in a long-running battle on a series of worlds called Tarantula.

I've been reading some Slaine by Pat Mills. Ambiguous feelings all around, I really do like ths story, I'm crazy about the mythology it's set in but the art is simply not to my taste. The extremely exaggerated and gory style in which so much is drawn just ruins it. In fact I'm quitting this series just because of that. There are all sorts of nice touches on a character like Slaine, from the woad to the clothing but the moment you start to literally expand a character from a powerfully built human to a moonstrous giant or like someone with the head of a balloon I'm off.
Shame really, because the story's good.
Anyway, what's up with everyone picking up these weekly/monthly comics? I always prefer the trades, for a variety of reasons (primarily financial and for the look and feel of them).
November 9th, 2004, 09:42 AM #58

The Dan Jurgens TPB here:
Looks quite different from the (IMO lame) style of the rest of the series. Is it a really different style? The same question pertains to the work of Oeming.

I'm reading Ultimate X-Men and Essential X-Men at the moment and occasionally the Avengers and 'Wolverine and Deadpool'

I bought the Mustang seat mainly for my wifes comfort as the rear pad on the '91 sturgis is like sitting on a rock after a few hours on the road. Now she is very happy with the new seat. It looks good on the bike and fitting was a breeze. The riders saddle is wide and very comfortable also. This product has a good finish to it and I would recommend it to anyone, especially for the long haul.
epowers Posted:
still getting used to it, but this seat is a big improvement over what was on there before. passenger agrees. she said the seat was more comfortable also.
83fxwg Posted:
Fits perfect and looks good
sbrmike Posted:
Outstanding seat! Fits perfectly, looks great, and feels great to rider and passenger!
spencer2 Posted:
Out in South Dakota road out riden here and riden home. Butt so far is feeling great. Probably the best seat I've ever been on. I've road over 1500 miles so far in 5days. First day500 next day 500. We will have to see how the return trip goes so far so good.
brb83 Posted:
breaks in good. the feel and comfort of the seat is everything you could want to expect. I would recemond this seat to anyone. J&P cycles delievered on time as they said they would. what more could I ask for
copdude10 Posted:
Best addition I've made to my bike as yet. My wife loves it!
swhite90 Posted:
Great seat! Put this on our '05 Softail standard after a four day trip left both of us sore. My wife loves this seat!! Much more comfortable for her. May have to change the backrest pad because the distance between the new seat and the backrest is less with the added padding. We will definitely be making more long distance rides. Rider position is much more comfortable but the ride height is higher. I would highly recommend this seat for anyone thinking of doing any kind of touring or long ride.
cam15con11 Posted:
great price and I rode it for the first time to lake Tahoe and back, around 700 mile trip, very comfortable
lbushjr Posted:
Great fit,really comfortable
fradem Posted:
this the best seat I ever used on my FXRS since 1989.
kschlatzer Posted:
Great seat - makes all the difference in the world. I'm a fairly large guy. With the factory seat, I was squirming around after only about half an hour on the road. With the Mustang installed: "bottom line" happiness, so to speak. Literally transformed the ride. The product is extremely well-built, looks like it was born for the bike, and arrived quickly and painlessly from J&P Cycles.
davidhickok Posted:
My wife sayes it is like riding on air.she couldn't go 50 miles on stock seat without a break.could use a tall boy option its a little cramped for 6' 2" driver.But well worth it for a happy passenger.
martooner Posted:
This seat was one of the best upgrades to any motorcycle I have ever owned. This was more comfortable than any factory accessory for this model. It was a little heavier, but well worth every ounce and every dollar.
newport_burn Posted:
Love the seat. Wife says it is a vast improvement from stock. I like the additional lumbar support that I get from the taller passenger ledge.
mledoux2000 Posted:
Fit perfect, rode all day after put on and girlfriend and me didn't have sore behinds.. Great seat!!
Vikinghorde Posted:
Fast shipping, nice quality, went on easy. Took it for it's first ride and it is now wife approved.
DOUGPIPER Posted:
harleymatt69 Posted:
quality seat im very happy. well made and it looks great on my 2007 sportster and it is wife approved
na7a Posted:
The seat is great and my back problems that I had with theh stock seat are all gone now. However, one thing to be concerned about with this seat, it raised my seating position up over 1 inch higher and totally through off my riding setting. I have lowered the bike some and it helped but keep this in mind. I am 5' 11" w/forward controls on a 07 Sporster Custom. Seat looks great and really fills in the bike and make it look like a bigger bike especailly with the backrest.
jsharleyguy33 Posted:
Love the way it looks on the bike...
enjaymarine Posted:
Superb - very comfortable and simple to fit.
ted white Posted:
Many thanks to J&P Cycles for all support and information on my purchase I would also like to thank all on the fast shipment of the seat as i live in australia only took 4 days to recieve Looks great will test on weekend
HotRodHemi2003 Posted:
This seat is just perfect! It fits my but just fine and it is much more supportive than the OEM, sorry H-D. No more cramps in the A__.
pgkinney Posted:
Comfort is far better than stock seat both rider and passenger. It does make you sit a little more on top of the bike but the added comfort to the tush is far worth it.
98GUY Posted:
Exactly what I expected. Comfortable, perfect fit and quality is excellent.
sporty12002012 Posted:
Feels way better than my stock seat off my 2012 Sporty. Better now on longer rides.
rmdr Posted:
top notch seat. very comfortable. Wish I had a bigger tank so I wouldn't have to stop.
msgsokolik Posted:
Can ride all day now without my back hurting. Good product
mpisula Posted:
Great purchase. You sit a bit higher than I would have liked, but much more comfortable for myself and wife, vs stock.
youngkilo24 Posted:
Very comfortable.
SClark46122 Posted:
fit very well, feels nice, and good delivery, only 7 days, thanks
cowboy8466 Posted:
The seat itself is awesome. Extremely comfortable and a huge difference. However for whatever reason the seat sent out was not black, but rather gunmetal gray which is more of a brown. Not sure why, and very disappointed in that but again great seat. Rather than send it back I'll dye it.
Lspanswick Posted:
This seat is very rigid and uncomfortable. After several rides the seat is still uncomfortable. Definitely not worth the money. Should have bought OEM Harley Davidson.
snbrk Posted:
Listen to me!!! are you listening? This is the last seat you will ever have to buy. In April I purchased a tour seat from Harley and it sent knife piercing pain down my back on long rides. I read a lot of the reviews, went to Mustang's web site and decided to give this seat a try. A world of difference not only for me but my gal pal also. Whether hopping around town or on a long distance ride this seat hold up great.
mindlessbard Posted:
Awesome, very high quality product.
popkorn80 Posted:
One of the best seats I have ever used so good on the back with long rides
email@example.com Posted:
The best seat I ever had.
Topflitedeadly Posted:
Just finished fitting my new mustang seat and am completely stoked so much better in appearance than I expected and incredibly fast postage A++++
gjb051054 Posted:
Excellent fit,wife says passenger seat very comfortable.
buckpace Posted:
Good fit, good quality.
shallgring Posted:
Very nice addition to my 2009 Road Glide. Very well made. Perfect fit. With the gold club discount 381.00. Very big comfort improvement over the stock seat.
shallgring Posted:
I replaced my stock Harley seat on my 2009 Road Glide because it was too wide at the point where it meets the tank and I was bowlegged when I stopped. The mustang touring seat is a great replacement. Narrower up front where it counts. More comfortable (better padding and wider in the seat). And it was a a perfect fit. It accepts a backrest and I think I will get one of those as well.
hotelpapa6 Posted:
When replacing my FLHTCU stock seat with the new Mustang seat. The Mustang seat was approximately 1" shorter and a half inch narrower on each side at the nose than the stock seat. This left an area of the chrome console and gas tank exposed that had noticable wear marks on them left by the old seat. Just thought that when your paying this much for a seat that the fit would be a little better to cover this area. It is a very comfortable seat though.
RogMac Posted:
Still new, spent 3 hours in the saddle with no discomfort.
ljraine Posted:
So far so good. Definate improvement over stock seat.
mav4140 Posted:
Bought this seat 2 years ago for a discount,because it came with a small scratch. hardly can see it. This seat is very well made, and most a very comfortable seat.
mflesner Posted:
Wife's second Mustang seat. Very comfortable for her - not like sitting in a bucket like the stock seat.
shosford83 Posted:
feels good on my ass
Scotty thibodeau Posted:
Took our first day trip on it last weekend,500 plus miles, very comfy, loved it....
tmburnsie Posted:
I love mustang seats. most comfortable seats out there.
trgolson Posted:
I bought this seat specifically for a 4300+ mile bike trip, which is now in the books. I have previously used the HD stock seat and other HD seats, and I have to say this Mustang seat beats them all. It sits you up a little higher than the HD stock seat on a 2011 Electra Glide Limited, was the only negative for me. The quality was great and J&P delivered it on time as promised, and their price was the lower than buying direct from Mustang.
DonC Posted:
Much better quality than the OEM seat. The covering was riveted to the base rather than stapled. It's also way more comfortable
jmschilling1969 Posted:
Pricing and delivery speed were excellent
email@example.com Posted:
Great seat! Excellent service
cpommrehn Posted:
Best thing I have bought for my bike fits great and feels great.
firstname.lastname@example.com Posted:
I ordered this seat mainly for the rider seat and my wife is very pleased with it. We both are. It fit my Honda Shadow very well.
mailmansp Posted:
We love our new seat.
Barry_107 Posted:
I've had good quality parts delivered from this site, carefully packaged and probably caressed gently and lovingly on their way out the door... ...about a MONTH after I ordered them.
Meyers Posted:
very nice seat
jthoma8318 Posted:
The seat was outstanding. I rode all weekend and was very comfortable. A night and day difference! Wish I had bought it years ago.
Bobby C Posted:
Great seat ...huge difference in overall comfort!
ptubaugh Posted:
Seat was extremely easy to install, it fit perfect and I can't tell you how much more comfortable it is than the stock seat. Mustang and J&P Cycles comes through again!!!
firstname.lastname@example.com Posted:
01 vstar... this seat is the best investment I've made for my bike. ordered and recv'd in only 4 days...perfect fit and very comfortable. I commute about 150 miles a day and this seat leaves me ready to go when I get there, not burned out like the old stock seat.
twins2005 Posted:
Love it ,looks great on the bike.
nlarmstrong81 Posted:
Much better then the original seat on my Vulcan 900 classic. I can ride for hours now without any discomfort.

Hang with the Honu
Snorkeling in Hawaii is already a must-do because of the chance to see coral reefs and enough fish to feel like you're in Finding Nemo. But a chance to swim and even photograph honu, Hawaiian green sea turtles, means you will be the Instagram envy of everyone forever more. Mauna Kea and Hapuna are two great Kohala Coast beaches to spot them.

State Bar of Texas Benefits Overview
As a State Bar of Texas employee, you are eligible for benefits as administered by the Employees Retirement System of Texas. The State pays 100% of full-time employees' premium cost and 50% of their dependent's premium cost for health insurance. Full-time employees are those that work 40 hours or more per week. The State Bar reserves the right to revise, amend, or discontinue any policy or benefit at any time and without prior notice. This does not create a contract or a guarantee of employment for any specific duration or establish a "just cause" termination standard. The State Bar of Texas provides the following benefits:
Health coverage is available for both you and your eligible dependents. You may choose from the following plans: HealthSelect, or an approved Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) that provide services in your area. There is a 90-day waiting period before you are eligible to use your health insurance. You and your eligible dependents may enroll in the group insurance program at retirement if you are 65 and have 10 years of service.
Dental coverage is available for both you and your eligible dependents. The State Bar offers two dental plans: one is a dental health maintenance organization (DHMO) that restricts coverage to services provided by participating dentists. The other is a dental indemnity plan that allows you to choose any dentist.
Life Insurance
When you enroll in the health plan, you automatically receive Basic Term Life insurance ($5,000 of Term Life and $5,000 of Accidental Death & Dismemberment). You may purchase Optional Term Life insurance with Accidental Death & Dismemberment coverage (one, two, three, or four times your annual salary) up to a maximum of $400,000. Term Life provides a benefit to your beneficiary in the event of your death. Accidental Death & Dismemberment provides an additional and equal benefit to your beneficiary in the event of your accidental death as well as benefits to you in the event of certain accidental injuries.
Dependent Term Life
Dependent Term Life ($5,000 of Term Life and $5,000 of Accidental Death & Dismemberment) insurance pays a benefit to you upon the death of your covered dependent or in the event of certain accidental injuries. The cost of this benefit is $1.38 per month regardless of the number of dependents you may have.
Voluntary AD&D
Voluntary Accidental Death & Dismemberment insurance provides a benefit to you if you suffer certain accidental injuries, or, to your beneficiary in the event of your accidental death. If you choose family coverage, a benefit is provided to you if your eligible dependents suffer certain accidental injuries or die as a result of an accident. The minimum coverage available is $10,000 and the maximum coverage is $200,000.
Disability Coverage
Both short-term and long-term disability coverages are available as optional coverages. These coverages may provide a monthly benefit should you become totally disabled. Short-term disability benefits will be paid up to 66% of your insured monthly salary (maximum $10,000) or $6,600 which ever is less, for up to five months; and Long-term disability benefits will be paid up to 60% of the insurance salary (maximum $10,000) or $6,600 whichever is less, and covers up to age 65.
Flexible Spending Accounts
The Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA) allows you to redirect a part of your pay into a tax-free account and then reimburse yourself for eligible day care expenses for your child/children under age 13. The minimum allowable deduction for the DCRA is $15 per month, and the maximum is $416 per month. The Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) allows you to redirect a part of your pay into a tax-free account and then be reimbursed for out-of-pocket medical expenses for you and your eligible dependents. The minimum allowable deduction for the HCRA is $15 per month, and the maximum is $416.
Time Away From Work
All State Bar of Texas employees accrue sick leave and annual leave on a monthly basis. Full-time employees earn 8 hours of sick leave and a minimum of 8 hours of annual leave per month. The amount of annual leave to which you are entitled depends on your length of service. In addition, each employee receives 24 hours of personal leave at the beginning of each fiscal year. Part-time employees receive a portion of the full-time amounts.
State Retirement Contribution
Six and a half percent of your gross monthly base salary is deducted each month as your retirement contribution. This money goes into an individual account and earns 5% simple interest per year. You may not borrow money from your account, and you may not use your account money as collateral for a loan. The State Bar of Texas contributes 6.5% of the salary of each employee to help with the overall financing of retirement benefits. The State Bar's contribution goes into a separate account. Each employee is vested in the retirement plan after 5 years of service. If you leave the State Bar and take a refund of your contributions, you will not receive the State Bar's contribution.
State of Texas Deferred Compensation Plans
The Texa$aver 401(k) Plan and
the 457 Plan are voluntary supplemental retirement plans offered to
employees of the State. The Plans are administered in accordance with
Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) and 457, which allows you to set
aside a portion of your gross salary and defer income taxes on your
contributions and earnings. The Plan allows you to choose the investment
vehicle that best fits your needs. There is no employer match for this

You even have the same CPU as me. Seriously if you are using RT kernels anymore.. I don`t know, that just seems way overkill for normal audio. Usually you won`t need latencies below 5ms. If your speakers are a bit far away, you can always try to lower it. The thing is though, if you have fine granularity multitasking, everything runs smooth. And is responsive. Even without RT threads, 0.33 ms worked, not as good as with RT threads, but quite good. Meaning that the whole system is very smooth now. So yes, common applications should run very smoothly, but you do need the config for doing that. General idea of my config is to avoid components that do uneccesary things for me. So that I avoid stalls, that prevent low latencies. That could be memory compaction or similar things. Or I can`t really remember all the stuff I tweaked in the end. It was running smoothly and greatly though, and I remember thinking Linux has reached that stage. Kind of a dream for many computer enthusiasts to have a system that performs that well. Forget about your vintage computing systems, and all the cries of them being more responsive. Now you have a modern system, that has the benefits of both responsiveness, and highlevel programming.
Peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeace. zzZ
In linux, how many proaudio applications are you using that don't require RT-scheduling?
You'll have to elaborate on "General idea of my config is to avoid components that do uneccesary things for me", i disable everything in the kernel config that doesn't apply to my hardware, and *only* enable features that i require. I also avoid running daemons & software that isn't needed... As for avoiding stalls that prevent low latencies, doesn't it actually make more sense to do what i've said above and then also tuning stuff in /proc/sys/kernel and/or specifying those changes in /etc/sysctl.conf, once you have tested the changes and seen valid improvments in latency??
Last edited by ninez; 03-25-2012 at 10:39 PM.
One thing is sure. Internet fanboys are also found in the linux-scene. And do not offend their gods, lest they strike you down. Now I am sure you would rather be performing private procedures on Con, than talk to me, so bye for now.
And btw, if RealNC insists I can make an exception for him, and greet him with "sledgehammer to the head" instead. I guess that will make all these amusementpark animals happy.
"to talk in a noisy, excited, or declamatory manner". ~ it seems like an accurate description to me. In particular in your last 2 posts.
As far disabling services, daemons, etc AFAIK it is still valid in win7 and is valid in Linux too. why waste cpu-cycles on things you don't need? it actually makes far more sense to do that, then to leave useless crap enabled. That is just common sense, and it's not a question of 'having/needing to disable stuff', it is a matter of doing it because it is beneficial....and in the case of disabling stuff in the kernel it reduces kernel bloat, and speeds up compilation times, very significantly. as for software/daemons - If i am not using bluetooth - then it should be disabled, as one small example. - So are you saying that i am wrong to think disabling crap that isn't needed is a bad idea? - if so, that is pretty stupid on your part.

As for being a 'hyterical enthusiastic tweaker' ~ seriously dude, you have your pretentious little head rammed so far up your ass, all i can do is laugh at you, at this point. WTF are you even going on about? oh ya, i forgot this is a prime example of your 'ranting'.
nice try though, it's pretty obvious at this point that you are just trolling. You really haven't said anything relevant to this post in your last few posts, and didn't even bother to reply to most of what i have said.
grow up.
Last edited by ninez; 03-25-2012 at 11:27 PM.
I am wondering, are these people told these things, and then echo some of that back?
Tweaks, attitude, and cliches.
I am a person sitting here. We are communicating on the internet. Because I am a person, and you are a person, I greet you in peace. That is a very nice thing to do, once all these ideas about tweaking and clicheed retorts are gone.
You should really try that.
and just because you write 'peace' at the bottom of each message doesn't mean anything, as the rest of your post is usually pretty brutal and ignorant.
and if you want me to greet you with peace, i suggest not being an asshole in your posts.

Phoronix: FreeBSD Jumps Quickly On LLVM/Clang 3.2
While just released on Friday, FreeBSD has already pulled LLVM/Clang 3.2 into its "head" repository and will be pushing it into the FreeBSD 9/Stable series in the weeks ahead...
Personally I'm looking forward to LLVM just because its a new, cleaner, code base, better debugging capacities (I know gcc is working on getting better but we'll see), more modular (see above), and integrates a lot better into IDE's because of the modularity of it.
If Apple wants to take mainline LLVM and add on some optimizations for closed source...fine, thats their right via the license. But I really don't think that Apple will take mainline LLVM and have some drastic differences vs mainline and their version it-- it adds more work for them to maintain those diff's and to make sure they stay current, usable and valid.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Remember all the fuss GPL guys put up about Linus using a proprietary code repository software rather than svn/cvs? That turned out pretty well in the long run.

UPDATE: This game has been shutdown and is no longer available
ShowUp Overview
ShowUp is a gorgeous 3D rhythm dancing MMO, which is known as 'HighStreet5′ in Asia and used to be called 5Street in the U.S. ShowUp breaks away from traditional dancing games by offering a persistent world where players can do as they please. Players have the option of dancing anywhere in the game's persistent world in a casual fashion as well as dancing in more competitive lobby based games. There aren't any strictly defined matches or competitions in the persistent aspect of the game, so you can start and stop dancing in the middle of a song if you choose to. A good way to practice is to actually dance by yourself in any of the dance halls. ShowUp adds variety to the game by allowing players to dance as couples as well as solo. The game's core gameplay is similar to that of every other dancing MMO, but the game offers much more than dancing; ShowUp offers a huge persistent world that players can explore and interact in. ShowUp is definitely one the most unique dancing game out there, so if you're into rhythm based games, this ones worth checking out.

ShowUp Review
By, Omer Altay
ShowUp is a 3D rhythm based dancing MMO published by Snail Games. Dancing MMOs have never been too popular in North America, as Audition Online from Nexon and Dance Online from Acclaim Games both shut down. Luckily, both games relaunched through other publishes, but it's clear that dancing MMOs aren't nearly as popular in the West as they are in the East – as games like ShowUp are extremely popular in China and South Korea. If you've played either of the other two dancing games I mentioned, and didn't like them, odds are you won't like ShowUp because just about every rhythm based dancing game has the same core gameplay mechanics. The one incredibly unique thing ShowUp has going for it is its social elements – players can hang out, get married and more in the game's huge virtual world. Unlike Audition and Dance online, players can do other things in ShowUp besides dancing.
The Dancing
The core gameplay of ShowUp is pretty straight forward. While dancing just hit the keys on your screen in the correct order and hit the space bar just as the rhythm line hits the glowing part of the meter. It doesn't make much sense trying to explain it, but to put it simply you just have to quickly hit the keys on your screen. Upon performing enough consecutive "perfects" you'll have the choice to start doing a special dance trick and these special tricks are the best way to earn points. The dance tricks make sure your character do some pretty crazy dance moves but all you have to do while performing a trick is basically keep doing what you've been doing before, except hit a lot more keys a lot faster. Every time you clear a series of keys the next set of keys will become more and more difficult. If you're too slow or you hit the wrong key your character will fall down and you'll start dancing again normally. The longer you do special dance moves the more points you'll earn. ShowUp has four different dance modes in its persistent area, they are Single Dance, Battle Dance, lovers Dance or group dance. All of the dance modes are pretty much the same thing and the dancing itself is incredibly repetitive, as after an hour or so of playing you've just about experienced everything the game's dancing system has to offer.
For those who genuinely enjoy the dancing mechanics in ShowUp, the game offers a standard lobby based "battle mode" where players can compete against each other. These games are much more competitive, as players cannot simply "join in" at anytime, like they can outside of battle mode. The lobby based battle mode features some 10+ game modes, which helps keep the core gameplay in ShowUp fresh.
Wait, Whats up with this?
When I first started playing ShowUp I expected it to be a straight out dancing rhythm game, but to my surprise the game seems to have just as much focus on player interaction as it does on dancing. In one part of the game there is no 'game lobby' or a 'game rooms', you can literally walk around and explore the game's persistent world. In order to dance with other people, you have to physically walk up to them and hit the "start dancing" button on your screen. The game only allows dancing in certain areas of the game world, but the fact that the game is in a persistent world makes the game unique. You don't even have to wait for a song to end to join a group of people and begin dancing, just walk up to them and hit the dance button. The game also lets you choose your difficulty before you begin dancing, which caught me by surprise because I imagined that everyone would have to be dancing at the same difficulty for it to be a fair match, but apparently this whole part of the game is more for fun rather that competition. If you want to compete you have to click the little competition button the corner of the screen. It's only when you click this button do you get the familiar lobby based system that other rhythm games have. Every player also has their own house, which is something I haven't seen in a dancing MMO before, but unfortunately there just isn't anything to do in your house or anyway to really upgrade it. I'm still not sure what the point of competing or dancing in ShowUp is because for some reason you start with practically infinite money.
Great Item Store!
The one thing I really liked about ShowUp is its item shop. Unlike most MMOs nowadays which have only a handful of items available to purchase, ShowUp's store has a huge variety of shirts, pants, glasses, hats and so much more. You can literally walk out of the game's shop with a huge robot costume, superman outfit or something normal. It's your choice. A lot of items require real cash to use, but there is definitely enough items to keep you entertained even if you don't pay for anything. ShowUp did an incredible job with its store and the sheer variety of items available in the game are quite impressive.
Okay, so Whats "good"?
The single best thing that ShowUp has going for it is the game's potential. If the company behind ShowUp puts some effort in developing its social features a bit more the game could really operate as a standalone social game with dancing as a secondary feature. The game has everything that a social MMO needs, a large detailed persistent world, objects to interact with (chairs, tables, benches, etc) and lots of clothes to buy! The only drawback to this is that the game currently has a small player base. I'm not at all surprised at that because the game's official website is poorly designed. All of the screenshots on the game's site have Korean text in them and the translations are less than stellar. I could ShowUp doing really well if they refine their game, because the whole persistent world social dancing game sounds like a great idea on paper, I just wish ShowUp was a more complete game.
Final Verdict: Good
Even with its drawbacks, ShowUp offers a unique mix of social and a rhythm based dancing elements. ShowUp offers both competitive dancing matches as well as a more open ended social experience through its persistent world. Those interested in rhythm based games should definitely give ShowUp a try.

I try to balance my desire to feed my family healthy food (aka: paranoia) with my desire to give them the easiest thing I can throw together. Being online makes the paranoia outweigh my inbred laziness.
Today, salad dressing tipped the scale for me. Not the "OMG- I need a diet" scale. That already happened last week. Now I'm "low-carb" all the way. So instead of pigging out on the grapes/pineapple/muffins and bagels that are calling out to me, I decided to have leftover chicken breasts and a salad with Bleu Cheese dressing. The dressing that others have raived about tasted awful. Not at all like my own; the one I haven't made in years because it's "fattening" (and yes, I am aware of the irony that it's just fine and dandy on this low carb fiesta).
Sorry, I digress. The scale it tipped is the "why make it when you can buy it" scale. Look at this list of ingredients on the store-bought dressing. I don't know about you, but if "you are what you eat", then I don't want to eat that. What would that make me? Probably the product of a marriage between a Lithuanian porn star and a chemist! Why would anyone want to eat something so foul tasting, especially when half the ingredients don't appear to be real food?
So, for anyone who truly likes bleu cheese dressing, stay away from the prepared dressings section of the store and try this easy recipe made from only real foods.
If you have time to make your own (healthier, delicious) mayonaise, you'll be even happier with the results. I'm going to have to make do with a decent market brand. Same for sour cream, bleu cheese…does anyone actually make their own vinegar?
Anyway…In a medium bowl combine about 2 cups of mayonaise, 1 cup sour cream, 3 Tablespoons cider vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds, 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (I like more pepper, but will add it to the salad as the kids aren't big pepper fans). Now I'll admit that it doesn't look very pretty at this point.
But look how nice it gets with just a few seconds and a whisk?
Sooooo much better than that nasty bottled stuff already! Now for the best part………
Time to crumble in about 6-8 ounces of bleu cheese (depends on how much you LOVE bleu cheese. I love it about 94,279 ounces worth but I only had eight).
Now give it another quick stir; this time I'd use a big spoon so the chunks don't get tangled up in your whisk.
That's all there is to it! It keeps for as long as the nearest expiration date for the fresh ingredients. In this case, that would probably be the sour cream.
By the way- this stuff is as thick as molasses. You could thin it out with milk, but when I do that I try to scoop out enough for that day and add milk. This way it's thick for those who prefer it that way. Also milk usually has a shorter shelf life than the other ingredients.
This made almost 1 quart. It also made a change in our dinner plans. Now that we have fresh bleu cheese dressing, the kids want buffalo chicken wings and celery. I think we can add a couple more raw vegetables and call that dinner!
***PS people: See how it says "bleu cheese" on that snazzy plastic lid? It's in dry erase marker. Wipes right off. It's the easiest way I've found to make a temporary label. Washes right off. I use crayons if I need it to last a bit longer.

|Alex Steele
In Season 2, Craig breaks up with Manny for reminding him too much of his little sister, Angie. This was a studio joke because Alex Steele is Cassie Steele's (Manny) younger sister.
Throughout her appearances, she is shown to be very affectionate towards Craig and vice versa.
Angie left the show along with Craig, but was not seen in later seasons or Degrassi Goes Hollywood, as Craig was.
Initially, Craig's father forbade him from associating with Angela, so the two would meet secretly. This changed in the Season 2 premiere, when Craig moves in with Joey and Angela.
Character History
Season 1
In Mother and Child Reunion (1), Angela is introduced at her father's car lot as he tries to sell a car to Lucy.
When Lucy sees Angela, she is surprised at how much she has grown since the last time they saw each other.
Joey picks up Angie and runs her into the office so they can sell Lucy a car.
She comes to Degrassi with her father and Lucy where she meets more of Joey's friends and talks to Caitlin about her dinosaur toy.
Season 2
In season 2, Angela is shown to have now started kindergarten. During the year, it is revealed that Emma Nelson baby sits Angela when Joey works late during the week. Angela's half-brother Craig is also introduced, and appears to have a special relationship with her.
Angela is shown being very affectionate towards Craig due to the fact that they didn't see each other often since both were originally living in different homes.The conflict between Joey and Craig's father, Albert Manning is what made it difficult for Angela and Craig to see each other since he could never be caught spending time with her, or otherwise face his father's abusive punishment.
In order to spend time with her, Craig first just sneaks around where Angela is and takes pictures of her, but he later finds out that Emma babysits her, so he would go to Emma's house and secretly take Angela out before Joey came to pick her up, despite the fact that Emma would often disapprove a little.
One day, Angela and Craig go to the park together. While playing around on the grass, Craig's shirt lifts up and Angela spots large, purple bruises on his chest. Disgusted and confused, Angela asks what they are.
Craig quickly thinks of an idea to hide them and says that a dinosaur bit him. He then quickly changes the subject and takes Angela to the ice-cream truck.Joey arrives back at Emma's house and asks where Angela was. Emma is silent for a minute and then reveals that she went off with Craig to the park. Joey is angry and drives off to find them.
When he finally spots them outside the ice-cream store, he takes Angela in his car and tells Craig to stay away and not sneak off with her.
Craig went home that night to have his father beat him after finding out that he had been spending time with Angela.
Craig ran away from home that night and went to stay with Sean. The two friends went for a walk along train tracks and talked about their past family lives.
Sean mentions that him and his brother live alone since his parents kicked him out when he was twelve years old.
Craig asks Sean if his parents ever hit him. Sean says no, but asks why. Craig does not respond and continues walking.
They come to a train station, and Craig tries to commit suicide by standing in front of a running train, but Sean saves him. Craig quickly gets up and runs off in the woods.
Horrified by his attempt, Sean runs over to Emma's house and asks her for advice. Emma and Sean decide to go ask Joey for help.
Sean tells Joey about what happened and suggests that it was due to complications with his father. Angela then confirms that earlier that day, she saw giant purple spots on his chest.
This highly brings up the suspicions that Craig's father abuses him. Sean and Joey go off to find him and Emma stays behind to watch Angela.
They find Craig by his mother's grave at a cemetery, and after a comforting discussion with him, they discover that Sean's theory was indeed true. He moves in with Angela and Joey as a result.
Craig continues to spend a lot of time with her and he even stops seeing Manny because she reminds him too much of Angie.
Season 3
Angie is still spending a lot of time with Craig, but makes a new friend in Caitlin Ryan, Joey's girlfriend.
Angie's activities coordinate with events in her father and brother's lives, such as her Christmas skating show also featuring Manny.
We also see Catilin trying to prove her maturity by caring for Angie when Joey gets hurt.
Season 4
Angie is growing up and this year has a lot of intensity for her as well as the rest of her family.
She sees what Craig goes through with the school shooting and witnesses Craig beating Joey when his bipolar disorder becomes out of control.
At the end of the year, Angie is the one to discover that Craig left home without taking his medication and had run away.
Season 5
Angela appears a lot less during season 5, but still remains living with Craig and Joey. When a young woman named Diane enters Joey's life as his new girlfriend, Angela seems to bond well with her.
Diane was often seen playing with Angela and helping her with homework.
In the summer of 2006, Joey, Angela (and possibly Diane) moved away to Alberta together.

- In the first season, Joey stated that Angela was starting kindergarten that year, which was in 2001. This means she was born in 1996.
- Without the retcons, she would have graduated by now. Because of all the retcons, she would be in ninth or tenth grade.
- Craig said that he couldn't kiss Manny because she reminded him of his half sister Angela; this is a subtle reference to the fact that the actress who plays Angela (Alex Steele) is Cassie Steele's real life sister.
- Angela and Liberty share the same middle name, Elizabeth.
- Alex and Cassie are two of eight actors on Degrassi to be related, the others being Scooter Webster (Christopher Charlesworth) and Susie Rivera (Sarah Charlesworth), Arthur Kobalewsky (Duncan Waugh) and Dorothy (Annabelle Waugh), Erica Farrell (Angela Deiseach) and Heather Farrell (Maureen Deiseach) with the other six all being on Degrassi Junior High and Degrassi High.
- Alli Bhandari shares the first name of the stuffed dinosaur belonging to Angela in Mother and Child Reunion (1).
- She is arguably the most popular little kid on Degrassi.
- She is the first character to be played by Alex Steele. The second is Tori Santamaria.

Migrants moving from Mexico to the United States represent the world's largest migration corridor, and the two countries have a long, complicated history with respect to immigration. Previously a country of emigration, Mexico increasingly has been experiencing new roles: as a country of transmigration and increasingly of settlement. The research here examines Mexico's relationship with its vast diaspora in the United States; the economic, insecurity, and other factors that have led to sizeable emigration; and the country's evolving policymaking with respect to migration.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Find relevant MPI resources on the phenomenon of unaccompanied child migration—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in this migration to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place. Click here.
MPI Policy Analyst Deborah Waller Meyers examines the Smart Border agreements signed by the U.S. with Canada and Mexico in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.
B. Lindsay Lowell of Georgetown University sketches the big picture of skilled migration, touching on both negative impacts and positive feedback for developing states.
Manuel Orozco of Inter-American Dialogue examines the increasing relevance of economic ties between diasporas and home country economies in Latin America.
The Sept. 11 attacks prompted greater government scrutiny of undocumented immigrants in the United States. MPI Research Assistant Kevin O'Neil takes a look at how many Mexicans living in the U.S. without authorization have turned to a Mexican government ID called the "matrícula consular" to better establish their identity.
Director of the Pew Hispanic Center, Roberto Suro, looks at how the flagging U.S. economy has not kept Latino immigrants from sending money back to their homelands.
This report draws from the existing body of knowledge surrounding circular migration to identify: research gaps, shortcomings of common policy routes, innovative circular migration policies, and critical considerations for policymakers seeking to design and implement positive circular migration schemes.
Previously confined to everyday conversations among migrants and their families, remittances are now on the minds of most governments, members of civil society, the international community, and, to some extent, the private sector. The continued deficiency in our understanding of some of the fundamental aspects of remittances is evident in current literature.
For an increasing number of scholars, international migration has undergone a transformation particularly in the last decade or so. Although circular migration's impact on development is far from settled, a review of the current literature suggests increasing optimism about its developmental potential.
This report investigates the demographic characteristics and experiences of American retirees abroad through a focused study of two countries—Mexico and Panama—that have exhibited dramatic growth in the population of United States-born seniors in recent years. Findings on the decision-making process of emigrant retirees, their integration experiences, and their impact on local communities are drawn from an analysis of 17 interviews and nine focus group discussions.
En años recientes, un flujo de estadounidenses que aumenta continuamente se ha estado dirigiendo a América Latina, especialmente para su jubilación. A medida de que la generación del "baby boom" envejece, se espera que ese flujo gane velocidad.
This report examines the trilateral relationship between the United States, Canada, and Mexico in the decade since the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and provides facts and figures relating to trade and migration among the three countries.
This report looks at what, over time, has determined the various departmental or ministerial locations of migration policy decision-making in different states.
This report provides the first analysis of the Department of Homeland Security's "One Face at the Border" initiative designed to integrate the immigration, customs, and agriculture functions of United States border management under the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection.

Dying Mass. woman teachers nursing students
