Dear CDTA – You know I love you, but we have to talk
I attended the public meeting conducted by the CDTA at the Albany Public Library main branch for a time on Thursday, December 4. Because I had another commitment – i.e., choir – I had initially declined to speak. But goaded by some allegedly anonymous blogger who outed herself both at the meeting and in her […] [Read More]
Bugged about the Bus Fare Hike
If you think it is only the intracity bus riders who are concerned about the proposed CDTA rate increase of about 50%, effective Monday, April 6, 2009, think again. I had a chance to ride on a couple Northway Express (NX) buses from Albany recently, and I discovered that not only were people circulating sheets […] [Read More]
The handy-dandy bus riders' assistance post
In retrospect, I realize I may have been a lttlle harsh on those TU bus riders. THEY didn't have awareness of Roger's Rules for Riding the Bus. Of course, they never asked, either. These don't necessarily apply just to CDTA. 1. Let the people get off the bus before you get on the bus. More […] [Read More]
The Bus Testing Riders from the TU Staff Are Wusses
Someone who knows that I get around primarily by bus, bike and foot asked me what I thought of the Times Union story last week about the TU staff getting on CDTA buses and trying to get from point A to point B. I might have said something mildly derogatory about the story, and by […] [Read More]
Angles and perspectives
When I'm in the kitchen of my house, I can stand in at the counter and watch the television that resides in the living room by catching the image in the glass of the cabinet in the living room; think of a bank shot in billiards. Moreover, I can control the TV (pausing the DVR […] [Read More]
The hardware / software bus problem
I've been reading, as I'm sure many of you have, about the increased number of passengers on not only the local (CDTA) buses, but on public transportation in general due to higher gas prices. This thrills me greatly. In fact a (very small) part of me wants the price of gas to go up further […] [Read More]
Broken Contract
Occasionally, I've complained about the CDTA bus service – and the April 26 story here is not unlike things I've experienced from time to time. But I want to touch on another side of the equation. I was taking a #13 New Scotland Avenue to pick up my daughter around 4:30 in the afternoon. There […] [Read More]
The CDTA Has Gone to Seed
There's a local, anonymous blogger who wrote about the CDTA plan to distribute 5,000 environmentally-friendly bus passes that can be used this Tuesday, April 22, Earth Day, made of recycled paper and infused with wildflower seeds. Though the story was reported in the Times Union, said intrepid blogger discovered that, at least as of early […] [Read More]
Shelter from the Storm
CDTA offers a day pass for $3. It also has what they call a 5-Day pass, which is actually good each weekday during the month, for $36, and a 7-day pass, which really means every day of the given month, for $44. For me, they're a good deal, for on cold or inclement days, I […] [Read More]
The CDTA is Trying To Gaslight Me
I like the CDTA. Really. I ride the buses all the time. They have a trip planner on their website now, but I've been a trip planner for other people for years. I'm happy their Saratoga line has increased customers. I even like their doofy commercial, though I swear the guy's putting the bike on […] [Read More]

The third Test between India and Australia in March next year, originally scheduled at Kanpur, will now be held at Hyderabad from March 14 to 18.
According to Board secretary Sanjay Jagdale, the Tour, Programme and Fixtures Committee decided to shift the Test as per rotation policy of the Board. "The change was necessitated because the ongoing construction activity at the Green Park (Kanpur) would not have been completed in time for the Test," said Jagdale.
Revised schedule: First Test: Delhi (February 22 to 26); Second Test: Mohali (March 2 to 6); Third Test: Hyderabad (March 14 to 18); Fourth Test: Chennai (March 22 to 26). — Special Correspondent

Not a new idea. Pecunia non olet ("money does not stink") is a Latin saying. The phrase originally related to the urine tax levied by the Roman emperor Vespasian in the 1st century upon the collection of urine.

On Thursday Night Talk on KHSU this week my guests will be Bob Froehlich and Julia Minton with whom I've done shows on KMUD. It will be the latest installment on a series about critical thinking and this week we will focus on the element of fear in making us vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation. Calls will be welcome as always. 7:00 at 90.5 or online at http://www.khsu.org/listen_live
It will be on the ballot in Lassen and Lake Counties in 2016.
It passed narrowly in Tehama County and failed badly in Del Norte County. I don't count Board of Supervisor votes.
I don't like the idea of a new rural state sending two more white Tea Party Senators to Washington, but as a matter of principle I'm fine with whatever the counties want to do as long as they leave mine out of it. I will actively campaign against any such proposal in Humboldt County.
By the way, contrary to popular mythology, the rural areas receive much more public money per capita than the urban areas. Pretty much true of the country as ironically the blue states tend to subsidize the red states in one of the bigger political ironies. All about economies of scale of course, and urban residents do benefit from rural infrastructure when they travel, but there is considerable misinformation on the issue. Bottom line is that Jefferson State would be the poorest state in the nation – it would be a economic disaster for those counties and most of these pandering supervisors know it if they're not deliberately ignorant or just complete idiots.
Photo comes from the movement website.
I don't have the time to fully analyze this right now, and it's far from a problem unique to the anti-GMO movement. But rape and death threats from alleged progressives seem more egregious – perhaps because I expect better.
"I have found that when I go to other pages and try to share science-based information to challenge misinformation, no one is interested. My comments are deleted. I'm banned from pages like Food Babe's. I'm called names. I'm accused of being a "shill", getting paid by a company (usually Monsanto) to share accurate information. Fortunately, that has been the extent of my negative experiences. Other members of this pro-science community have been attacked in far more personal ways. They are accused of being bad parents for feeding their children GM and non-organic food. There are death threats, threats of rape, being compared to Nazis. There are even organized attempts to intimidate scientists and science advocates." — "In such a hostile environment, there is no room for dialogue and sharing of information. The people who lose in this environment are the people who aren't scientists and genuinely want accurate information to help them make good decisions for themselves and their families."
Maybe this will be the one time many of you hit a link to the Genetic Literacy Project.
Thanks to Kevin Hoover for drawing my attention to this. What the ad leaves out is that dihydrogen monoxide has killed more people than any other chemical compound, perhaps more than all the others combined!
Here is a link to the discussion of the environmental consequences.
I guess the assumption will be that Monsanto bought him off. He joins a slew of progressive scientists including Neil DeGrasse Tyson and E.O. Wilson. The Union of Concerned Scientists is in very cautious support of the technology, while advocating strict regulation. What I would like to know is if there are any major progressive science figures remaining, excluding those who are selling books or are on speaking tours in opposition to GMOs, who continue to view the technology as inherently dangerous. And just to clarify, I am not necessarily "pro-GMO." I believe like any other technology, there are good and bad applications. But I do believe there is a plethora of misinformation fueling the opposition.
This guy is just asking for it!
Too bad he's on death row and isn't an American citizen. Otherwise he could run for Senate in Missouri.
KHSU show tonight – my guest is Sohaib Awan who serves the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association as the Chairman of its Muslim Writers Guild, working with Muslim youth around the country to encourage them to take to the pen in defense and clarification of Islam. We'll be discussing Islamaphobia in light of the recent violence and depressing headlines. 7:00 – call in format as usual.
Study seems to show that white passengers more are likely to get free ride than black. I would like to know more about the study – the controls, etc. But it only confirms what most of us know, even if many of us don't acknowledge it.
I do remember the Eddie Murphy skit, which was hilarious. But it would help if the article writer mentioned (if he knew) that it was a play on Black Like Me.

Countering Mewtwo?
What are the most successful strategies for countering Mewtwo on RBY?
The only two strategies I've heard are Slowbro running Amnesia and Thunderwave, and a Parasect using Spore/Substitute/Swords Dance/Leech Life. How likely are these strategies work, and are there any more suggestions for pokemon able to do the job?
Parasect can't kill Mewtwo if something else is already asleep. Even if Parasect is in the position to put Mewtwo to sleep, it's important to keep in mind that Mewtwo has a crit rate of about 25%, which means that Parasect might get OHKOd before it even has a chance to do anything. That moveset is a gimmick anyway, as only an idiot would keep Mewtwo in.
Light Screen Chansey is probably the best counter if Mewtwo doesn't have Psychic and Chansey is paralyzed (can't get frozen). Slowbro, on the other hand, needs miraculous luck to PP waste Mewtwo if it has T-Bolt. Most Mewtwos without T-Bolt have Ice Beam, so Mewtwo can freeze Slowbro if it has to. This isn't guaranteed, but the odds of scoring a freeze within 16 turns are rather high.
Ist zwivel herzen nachgebur, daz muoz der sele werden sur. - Wolfram von Eschenbach
Your own mewtwo would probably do best. They can learn a huge number of TM moves, and it makes the Psychic move all but useless against you.
A mew with Surf
Light Screen Chansey obv
And last-minute solutions like Mew's Explosion / Snorlax's Selfdestruct
i soloed mewtwo in r-2 of stadium with a chansey.... what format are you talking here? vs a human opponent? chansey is generally the best at soaking up any special attack he has, snorlax is great too, especially if you give it amnesia for the express purpose of not dieing to special hits...

No need...
for the government to be involved in marriage. Remove all tax benefits for marriage. Why should a person that doesn't WANT to get married have to pay a higher tax burden? That policy is collectivist.
As for church's recognizing same-sex marriage, that should be up to the church and the congregation. To force a church to do this through law is a violation of the separation of church and state. At that time, the liberties of the church patrons would be infringed upon.
Maybe everyone should quit trying to get special benefits and forcing people to comply through the use of law.

Greater Finland
Greater Finland (Finnish: Suur-Suomi Swedish: Storfinland) is an irredentist and nationalist idea which emphasized territorial expansion of Finland in the context of pan-Fennicism. The most coined version of Greater Finland was thought to be limited by natural borders encompassing the territories inhabited by Finns and Karelians, ranging from the White Sea to Lake Onega and along the Svir River and Neva River – or, more modestly, the Sestra River – to the Gulf of Finland. Some proponents also included the Kola Peninsula (as part of a natural border), Finnmark (in Norway), Torne Valley (Sweden), Ingria (around Leningrad) and Estonia.
The idea of Greater Finland gained popularity and influence rapidly in 1917, and lost its ground and support after World War II and the Continuation War.

"Finland's natural borders" and the study of language[edit]
The idea of the so-called three-isthmus border is hundreds of years old, dating back to the period when Finland was part of Sweden and between Sweden and Russia was a disagreement between the wars, and of where the Swedish (Finland at the same time) and the Russian border should pass. The Swedish government headed by a three Isthmus border was considered the easiest to defend, because the land border would then have been the closest possible. The isthmuses were the White Isthmus, Olonets Isthmus and the Karelian Isthmus.
Although in the early 19th century, the term "Greater Finland" was never reportedly used, the idea of Finland's natural geographical boundaries dates back to then. In 1837, the botanist Johan Ernst Adhemar Wirzén defined Finland's wild plant distribution area as the eastern border lineage of the White Sea Lake Onega and the River Svir. The geologist Wilhelm Ramsay defined Fennoscandinavia's bedrock concept at the beginning of the 19th century. Also, Zachris Topelius took the matter up later in the inauguration readings in 1854.
Around the same time Uralic language research raised the issue of the political frontier of the eastern side of the "Finns" living in by the Urals, but the political frontier was considered to be the linguistically and ethnically wrong.
Karelianism was the artists', writers' and composers' national romantic hobby where Karelian and Karelian-Finnish culture was used as a source of marketing. Karelianism was most popular in the 1890s. For example, the author Ilmari Kianto was known as the White-friend. He wrote a book about he campout in his travel to White Karelia in the book "Finland at its largest - for the liberation of White Karelia" in 1918.
The Greater Finland ideology for the other Nordic countries[edit]
Northern Norway's minority, the Kvens made the Finnish settlements spread, especially in the 1860s. The Kvens used to isolate themselves from their own communities. The Academic Karelia Society and the Finnish Heritage Association worked actively with the Kvens from 1927-1934. The most important activity in the Finnish media was to spread pan-Fennicist propaganda through various channels. Activity slowed down from 1931 to 1934, but the organizations mentioned in the press Kven issues were addressed yet even after this.
The principal means of cultural and linguistic political discrimination through the school system, in Norwegian, the mass media and the so-called "cadre politics". Finnish language and appreciation of the efforts to reduce and Finnish-speaking ethnic identity and cultural was soon dying out.
In the early days of Finland's independence, Finland wanted the Swedish Finnish-speaking areas in Norrbotten to join Finland. This was a reaction to Åland's desire to join Sweden. The Finnish government set up the North West committee whose task was to introduce the western base of the Finnish national movements. Sweden, on their part, tried to Swedify Finnish to include the addition of instruction in Swedish North-Swedish Finnish regions. In the 1950s, the North-Swedish schools were punished for speaking the Finnish language.
In 1918-1920, the Greater-Finland ideology built in the Heimosodat and wanted to combine all the Finnic peoples into a single state. Similar ideas were also in western East Karelia. Repola and Porajärvi wanted to become municipalities of Finland, however, with the strict conditions of the Treaty of Tartu, the two municipalities remained in the Russian SFSR. Karelians in Uhtua wanted their own state instead, so they created the Republic of Uhtua. Similarly, Ingrian Finns created their own state, North Ingria, but with the intention of being incorporated into Finland. Both states ceased to exist in 1920.
The Greater-Finland ideology inspired the Academic Karelia Society and the Lapua movement and its successor, the Patriotic People's Movement. The later political parties National Coalition Party and the Centre Party remain supporters of the ideology. The Mannerheim Sword Scabbard Declarations in 1918 and 1941 increased the enthusiasm for the idea. Left-wing politician in large Finnish hobby was once the Oscar Tokoilla and Väinö Voionmaa, who published in 1918 the book "Greater Finland natural boundaries".
Treaty of Tartu[edit]
In 1919, the Repola and Porajärvi municipalities declared themselves independent of Russia, and wanted to join Finland, but the border change was never officially confirmed. In 1920, the Treaty of Tartu negotiations, Finland demanded more of Eastern Karelia. Russia has agreed to this and demanded and kept Repola and Porajärvi to themself and offered Finland Petsamo instead. After the debate President Ståhlberg agreed to the exchange. The claims of Eastern Karelia abandoned from the right-wing on the edge of peace was called "the shameful peace".
The Karelian ASSR in the 1920's and 1930's[edit]
At the Treaty of Tartu in 1920, Finland wanted to give a national government and autonomy for Eastern Karelia. The League of Nations ruled in Eastern Karelia when it belonged to Soviet Russia, for the reason of giving Karelia an autonomous self-ruled government. At the same time, the League of Nations also solved the Åland crisis in Finland's favor. After the Finnish Civil War, the Red Guards fled to Russia and rose to a leading position in Eastern Karelia, and led by Edvard Gylling, they established the Karelian Worker's Commune. The Reds were also assigned to act as a bridgehead in the Finnish revolution. Finnish politicians in Karelia strengthened their base in 1923 with the establishment of the Karelian ASSR.
Since the Karelian Worker's Commune was practically in the hands of the Finnish fleeing reds, Finland argued that Soviet Russia didn't organize Eastern Karelia as a democratic autonomy as the peace treaty said. After a failed uprising with the Karelians, the Soviets demanded many of them to move to Finland.
After the Civil War the Finnish migrants, along with the Ingrian Finns, and the Finns that returned from North America, fled to East Karelia. They also supported the idea of East Karelia being a Finnish cultural district.
Even in 1926 in Soviet Karelia, 96.6% of the population spoke Karelian language as their mother tongue. Karelian language was not yet a written language, and the creation of that was considered impossible because of the many dialects. Because of that, Karelia's official languages became Finnish and Russian. Dealing with the Finnish language was diverse. Some of the Karelians had difficulty to understand the Finnish written language and using it faced an outright resistance from the locals in Olonets Karelia, while White Karelia's locals had a more positive attitude towards the language. The resistance was labeled as mole work against the local Finnish kulaks and the Russian chauvinists' socialism.
In the summer of 1930, "finnification politics" rose publicly as controversial theme. There were also many disagreements about Soviet Karelia's official language. It was unclear if Soviet Karelia taught the Karelians Finnish, or if they generated their own language, as such, the idea of heading Soviet Karelia in a Karelian literary language was rejected. The Soviet Union Central Committee of the Council of Nationalities and the Soviet Union Academy of Sciences protested against forced finnification of Soviet Karelia.
The Great Purge[edit]
In Stalin's Great Purge in 1937, Soviet Karelia was accused of being led by Trotskyist-bourgeois nationalism. Karelian language and culture was banned and the political orientation to the bourgeois Finland. Leadership by Finns lasted until 1937, when it was obsoleted in Stalin's persecutions. At the same time Russification started in the area, by banning the use of Finnish and Karelian public use. Eventually, Russification made the area easier to control, as with Russian language, there were no other competing languages.
The Karelo-Finnish Soviet Socialist Republic was founded by the Soviet Union at the beginning of the Winter War, which was led by the Terijoki government and Otto Wille Kuusinen, for the intention of incorporating the established Soviet republic into Finland. For this reason, the official language returned to Finnish. When Finland's occupation left undone, only in the Moscow Peace Treaty in 1940 the lost areas were incorporated into the Soviet Union.
During the Continuation War, about 62 000 Ingrian Finns escaped from the German-occupied area to Finland, of whom, 55 000 of them were returned to the Soviet Union and expelled to Siberia. From the 1950-1960's and onwards they had a chance to get back to their homes.[1]
The Continuation War[edit]
Even during the civil war in 1918, when Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim was in Antrea, he issued one of his famous Sword Scabbard Declarations, which says that he "will not sheath my sword before law and order reigns in the land, before all fortresses are in our hands, before the last soldier of Lenin is driven not only away from Finland, but from White Karelia as well."[2] During the Continuation War, Mannerheim gave the famous second Sword Scabbard Declaration. The declaration also mentioned "the Great Finland", which at that time also caused negative attention in political circles.
During the Continuation War, Finland occupied the most comprehensive area in the history of Finland. Many people elsewhere as well as the Right-wing politicians wanted to annex East Karelia to Finland. The grounds were not only ideological and political, but also military, as the so-called three-isthmus line was considered easier to defend the border to Russia. Nazi Germany at the time, was certain of the possibility to annex East Karelia.
Russians and Karelians were treated differently. Of the Russian-speaking minority, their ethnic background was studied in order to know which part of them was Karelian, i.e. "the national minority", and which part was mostly Russian, i.e. "the unnational minority". The Russian minority were collected in the concentration camps, so that they would have been easier to move away.
In 1941, the Government published Finnlands Lebensraum in German, a book supporting the idea of a Greater Finland, with the intention of annexing of Eastern Karelia and Ingria to Finland.
Eastern Karelia military regime[edit]
On the other hand the economic motives of East Karelia's utilization of forest resources in the form. The areas are however not legally connected to Finland, but the parliament proclaimed only in the Winter War that the territories lost belonged to Finland. Areas managed by Finland's military administration in Eastern Karelia, which made all the preparatory measures in the occupied territories' population to be Finnified and prepared their integration into Finland.
Finland's eastern question[edit]
In the Continuation War's attack phase in 1941, when the Finns hoped of a German victory over Soviet Union, the Finns began to consider what areas Finland could get with a possible peace treaty with the Soviet Union. The German objective was to take over the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan line, which would have allowed the expansion of the Finnish regions to the east. Professor Jalmari Jaakkola's book, Die Ostfrage Finnlands, which was published on August 29, 1941, sought to justify the occupation of East Karelia. The book was translated into English, Finnish and French, and received heavy criticism from Sweden and the United States.
The Finnish Ministry of Education established in December 11, 1941, the Scientific Committee of East Karelia, with the purpose to guide research in East Karelia, in order to form the accurate picture of the region. The first chairman of the commission was the Rector of the University of Helsinki Kaarlo Linkola and the second chairman was Väinö Auer. The jurists were preparing international legal arguments as to why Finland should get East Karelia.
The Concentration Camps[edit]
In the conquered territory, internment was established, which was at first called "concentration camps" and then later "transfer camps". The peoples transferred there were:
- "Non-Finns from the area can not express their political view of the military action";
- "Politically unreliable people for Finns, and non-Finnish population of persons";
- "Other peoples of the population that felt freedom in the militarily-governed area, would not be considered acceptable."
People of the Zaonezhye Peninsula (by the Onega), Svir Valley, Onega isthumus, which traditionally happened to speak Russian, were transferred to camps further back from the front line to prevent Soviet Partisan attacks against the civilians to protect themselves. Nevertheless, the Zaonezhye Peninsula was packed with refugee families of a Non-Finnish people origin, from different parts of the Karelo-Finnish SSR; which were waiting in vain to be transported over the Lake Onega, but they were caught in the hands of the Finnish Defence Forces. By research from literature, it can be estimated that up to 16 600 evacuees or refugees that lived near the battlefronts were placed into the concentration camps. This meant that the non-Finns were the highest number of evacuees or refugees in the camps. They were more than 69 percent of the camps' people, which at 1 April 1942, numbered 23,984 people.
Death in the camps (137.5 ‰) was significantly higher than in the occupation-free region's population (26 ‰), let alone in Finland (13.1 ‰). The real cause of campers' high mortality seems to have been poor nutrition, and to some extent their age structure: 20-30 year-old women and minor children which were almost 50%.
The idea's end[edit]
The "golden age" of the Greater Finland idea was the 1910s. In the 1920s the popularity of the idea declined, but rose for a moment in popularity during the Continuation War. After the Continuation War, the Greater Finland idea was practically shut down, because its concept was no longer possible by political or military condition. The Soviet Union had won the war and Finland was prepared for harsh peace treaties, which, among other things, made the Finnish territory further decrease. In addition to nazism and fascism, Lebensraum-expansive thoughts were no longer considered to be a good thing. The Academic Karelia Society and the IKL, which favored Greater Finland ideology, were shut down. Additionally, the idea's end was also probably affected by the fact that the Karelians were acting unanimously and supportively of the Finnish territorial expansion project, as many of them welcomed the Finns as the occupiers: indifferent to be in peace and hostility due to the pressure. Karelians would prefer to have the Finns as "spiritual" help, similarly as in the Heimosodat.
Similarly, the cultural foundation fell from the ideology, while communication with the Uralic peoples left under Soviet rule became increasingly difficult and more bureaucratic. In 1991, when the independence of Estonia was newly recovered and the dissolution of the Soviet Union, it created more opportunities for NGOs and private citizens.
The idea of the motive[edit]
The motives of the Greater Finland idea has been discussed to some extent. It is an undeniable fact that some of the supporters of the idea of the background was a sincere desire to help the cultural brothers", as the idea was linked to the wider cultural cooperation. Later, the idea began to gain a clearer imperialist feature. For example, the main supporters of the idea was the Academic Karelia Society, which was originally born as a cultural organization. In the second year of their active years, they released a program, which dealt with broader strategic, geographical, historical and political arguments, for the notion of Greater Finland.
The idea today[edit]
In modern times, the Greater Finland ideology is practiced by few people. Today, the cultural ideology seeks primarily to promote Uralic peoples' survival and recovery work without changes in national borders, and not in the context of being happy to talk about the Greater Finland ideology in different ways. Such ideas are practiced among, Juminkeko Foundation, Matthias Castrén Society, Finland-Russia Society and many of the Uralic Finnish Kindred organizations support the struggle for survival. Among the students, the idea lives strongest in the University of Tartu, Estonia.
In August 2008, the international situation intensifies in South Ossetia, with a five-day war. The Keskisuomalainen-magazine drastically criticized the Finnish-Russian policy. In the editor's opinion, the Finns have raised their head to a "spiritual Greater Finnish idea".[5]

Functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms in the BRCA1 gene and risk of salivary gland carcinoma
ABSTRACT Polymorphic BRCA1 is a vital tumor suppressor gene within the DNA double-strand break repair pathways, but its association with salivary gland carcinoma (SGC) has yet to be investigated.
In a case-control study of 156 SGC patients and 511 controls, we used unconditional logistical regression analyses to investigate the association between SGC risk and seven common functional single-nucleotide polymorphisms (A1988G, A31875G, C33420T, A33921G, A34356G, T43893C and A55298G) in BRCA1.
T43893C TC/CC genotype was associated with a reduction of SGC risk (adjusted odds ratio=0.55, 95% CI: 0.38-0.80, Bonferroni-adjusted p=0.011), which was more pronounced in women, non-Hispanic whites, and individuals with a family history of cancer in first-degree relatives. The interaction between T43893C and family history of cancer was significant (p=0.009). The GATGGCG and AACAACA haplotypes, both of which carry the T43893C minor allele, were also associated with reduced SGC risk.
Our results suggest that polymorphic BRCA1, particularly T43893C polymorphism, may protect against SGC.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: The p14(ARF)/MDM2/p53 pathway plays an important role in modulation of DNA damage and oxidative stress responses. The aim of this study was to determine whether genetic variants in MDM2 and p14(ARF) are associated with risk of salivary gland carcinoma (SGC). METHODS: Four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in MDM2 and p14(ARF) (MDM2-rs2279744, MDM2-rs937283, p14(ARF)-rs3731217, and p14(ARF)-rs3088440) were genotyped in 156 patients with SGC and 511 cancer-free controls. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). RESULTS: MDM2-rs2279744 was significantly associated with a moderately increased risk of SGC (OR, 1.5, 95% CI, 1.1-2.2). There was a trend toward significantly increased SGC risk with increasing number of risk genotypes of the four polymorphisms (P(trend) = 0.004). Individuals carrying 3-4 risk genotypes in MDM2 and p14(ARF) were at increased SGC risk (OR, 2.0, 95% CI, 1.1-2.7) compared with individuals carrying 0-2 risk genotypes. Moreover, the combined effect of risk genotypes of MDM2 and p14(ARF) was more pronounced among young subjects (≤45 years), female subjects, subjects with race/ethnicity other than non-Hispanic white, ever-smokers, and ever-drinkers. CONCLUSION: Our results support the involvement of SNPs of MDM2 and p14(ARF), either alone or more likely in combination, in susceptibility to SGC. Larger studies are needed to validate our findings.PLoS ONE 11/2012; 7(11):e49361. DOI:10.1371/journal.pone.0049361 · 3.53 Impact Factor

Need Michelle16's help
I'm a lurker, for about 2 years, planning my kitchen renovation. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas I've gotten from you all. You don't know me but I know many of you and your beautiful kitchens. I need help with the size of my kitchen island corner posts. Michelle, how wide are your corner posts? My island design is very similar yours.
Michelle, thanks so much, especially for the peace of mind. My cabinet order went in 3 days ago and I am driving myself and my KD crazy with last minute changes. My island is 91"x 45" and my posts were 6" until I changed them to 7" yesterday.
Bee, thanks for the bump. Your kitchen is one of my "inspiration kitchens."
If I lived in your area, you'd be my KD (and I'd be getting DutchWood cabinets). I was planning on marble until I read your "Saran Wrap" post. I decided I couldn't handle the etching until you came up with the plexiglass idea. I'll be starting my stone hunt in the next few days, hoping to find Imperial Danby similar to 2Littlefishies. My plexiglass will be on for the holiday family gatherings. We are empty nesters and my current 20 y/o formica is in pristine condition.
Lexmomof3, it may take me all weekend to figure out how to post a picture, but I will. I based my design on Michelle16's island and the island Christopher Peacock has in his home.
Because of GW, all my base cabinets are drawers except for the corner lazy susan. That was another last minute change, two base cabinets became deep drawers based on GW pictures. Thanks!
Romy- I too based my island from Christopher Peacock's! funny. Good luck with it all, let me know if I can help. The quartzite does not etch or stain if you are looking for something that looks like marble and will be as hardy as your good ol' formica!LOL! Michelle

Apple releases iTunes 9.1 with support for iPadWith a few short days before Apple's iPad goes on sale to the masses in the U.S., Apple has released iTunes 9.1 bringing the ability to sync with the new device.
The update is available direct from Apple or via Software Update. It weighs in at 102.1MB. iTunes 9.1, according to Apple, has "several new features and improvements," including the ability to:
- Sync with iPad to enjoy your favorite music, movies, TV shows, books and more on the go
- Organize and sync books you've downloaded from iBooks on iPad or added to your iTunes library
- Rename, rearrange, or remove Genius Mixes
On Monday, details of iTunes 9.1 were revealed, as the new software replaces the existing "Audiobooks" section in the iTunes Source list with the more broad "Books" category. Users will can sort and sync books they purchase through the iBookstore on the iPad when connected to the iTunes desktop client via a USB cable.
The update also improves the "Genius Mixes" feature introduced with iTunes 9 last September. The feature automatically creates a playlist of content using the results of over 27 million music libraries featuring more than 54 billion songs submitted and analyzed by Genius.
The last update for iTunes, version 9.0.3, came in early February. It provided a number of bug fixes, including the resolution of problems recognizing when an iPod is connected and issues with syncing some smart playlists and podcasts.
Last October, iTunes 9.0.2 added compatibility with the Apple TV 3.0 update, allowing users to share their content with the set top box device. The update also disabled the ability of the Palm Pre to sync with the iTunes desktop client.
Also released Tuesday was QuickTime 7.6.6 for Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard and Windows 7, Vista, and XP. It features a number of security-related fixes and can be downloaded direct from Apple.
On Topic: iTunes
- Apple reportedly puts Trent Reznor in charge of redesigned Beats Music app, presses forward with iTunes Radio revamp
- Yet another outage hits Apple's App Store & iTunes, preventing searches, discovery & downloads
- Apple debuts programatic iAd buys on iTunes Radio, 'Customer Match' demographic targeting
- US streaming music revenues eclipse CD sales for first time, as rebrand of Apple's Beats looms
- Apple issues apology as iTunes & App Store outage persists for 7+ hours

Quick Rigging With the Rigify Addon
See How to Rig your Characters with Rigify
Rigify is an automated rigging tool written by Nathan Vegdahl that makes the character-rigging process fast and simple.
If you're like me, you spend most of your time in Blender modeling and texturing characters for still renders. However, sometimes I want to see my static character spring to life in animated motion. So the anticipation and excitement builds enough for me to venture into the rigging realm, motivated by lofty dreams of character animation! Though hours later I end up raising a white flag in a confused and frustrated surrender to the often overwhelming task that is rigging.
For Blender users out there who experience similar rigging inabilites Rigify is the answer to your character animation needs.
What You Will Learn
1. Enabling the addon.
2. Customizing the meta-rig to achieve the best performance from the generated rig.
3. Generating the rig.
4. Automatic skinning your character model to the rig.
5. What Rigify doesn't do for you.

For some reason, I cannot move any part of the body. I've generated the armature and followed the instructions, but something is not right. And after I have switched to pose mode and hid all layers, then adding that particular on back again, no bones of the body show part from the head, neck and spine. Can someone please help?
Posts: 1zeke_lexi says:
Yes I had some problems with this, there were a few things that enabled me to get it working in a fashion.
1. Make sure 'Auto Run Python Scripts' is ticked in the File -> User Preferences Menu.
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZPqxADetWE fix the weights. Lots of models have duplicates and errr stuff( I am not an expert), need to clean up the model a little to get it working.
3. make sure your armature and model are in exactly the same location.
I hope this helps and saves some people sometime :). Thanks for the awesome tutorial

I've also been getting failed weighting solutions since using 2.71…I wonder if it's a bug. Usually I jump back to 2.70 and the same mesh-to-rig auto weights fine.
Posts: 12angusgiorgi says:
That's really good to know Kent, thank you! I will try using a 2.70 version for auto weighting. I initially thought it was a Zbrush thing because it was happening on a model I ported in from Zbrush to Blender through GoB, but it's recently also been happening on models either made only in Blender or fully re-topologised in Blender. I've done all the usual fixes i.e recalculating normals, removing doubles etc. Thanks for the heads up, if it's happening to you as well, then I'm not going crazy!

Where do I turn if I found a bug in the rigify addon?
Posts: 619richard w says:
The most common 'bug' people find when using Rigify for the first time is that they don't have the auto-running of python scripts enabled. This was disabled by default as a security feature in an older Blender version (2.68? I keep forgetting which version exactly).
You can enable the auto-running of python in File > User Preferences > File and checking the option there; see link below. You can add exception directories in order to maintain some security; python scripts in those directories will _not_ auto-run. You can then save this setting to be enabled by default or you can just re-enable it on a 'per session' basis.
If that doesn't fix the problem, then let me know.
Posts: 1heliel22 says:
I every time i try to get rigify to work by clicking Shift A then click Armature i get this "Report Error Traceback ( most recent call last) hell i don't even know what that even means i have enabled the add on plus enable auto run also i have Blender 2.70 this driving me nuts seriously all i am trying to do is add this motion capture onto my Sims 4 character but i'm not even making it pass level 1 please help

I worked at Nucor
Nucor is a great place when steel prices are high and production is good. To move up you have to work a lot of overtime, but the money is good. No union which is great.
Be careful. It can be dangerous.
Make sure your supervisors are not "yes" men and that they will stand up for their crews. You should offer some financial advice to your employees. I knew a supervisor who made six figures and lived paycheck to pay check. Very sad to see.

powerful scenes: tales of flames at the stake, kidnapping and revenge master-minded by Azucena, the conniving gypsy woman;
a mysterious troubadour and Leonora who loses her heart to him; the drama of war waged on a castle fortress;
and two brothers separated at birth who unknowingly become mortal enemies. Set in Spain in the early 15th century,
the story is told by three separate, intertwining sub-plots, rich with colorful history.

Soule Finds a Weakness in the Afterlife, Discusses Surprise "Inhuman" Return
Comic Books
Showing results 1-20 of 1268
At last, we've come to the best issue of Frank Miller and Jim Lee's "All Star Batman and Robin," served with a tall glass of yellow lemonade!
Augie catches up with Christie's recent auction of Franco-Belgian comic art, then explains why he turned to French comics when learning to draw hands.
DC Comics may have pulled the controversial "Batgirl" cover, but Augie believes the way in which it happened leaves something to be desired.
Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard's "The Walking Dead" #138 is "rife with possibilities."
Augie compares Valiant's movie deal to Marvel and CrossGen's, finds a "Lone Wolf and Cub" magic trick video, and goes deep into the Joker issue of "All Star Batman."
"Duck Tales" is returning, but instead of celebrating, Augie explains why he's sensing d-d-d-danger for the reboot.
Another upcoming animated film, "Home," gets an art book, and Augie gives it a read before he reviews the replacement for his beloved Wacom tablet.
The "Big Hero 6" Blu-ray presents the movie well, though the total package is lacking. Plus, "All Star Batman and Robin" brings Black Canary and Batman together!
Augie shares his thoughts on DC's upcoming relaunch as well as the big Spider-Man movie news. Also, the epic reread of "All Star Batman and Robin" returns!
Augie makes some suggestions for "Secret Wars," looks at the many formats he's read the same book in, and shares his own Marvel rejection letter.
Disney drives Augie crazy, as the Big Hero 6 art book and the Don Rosa Library are great books scarred with one nit-pick each, sparking an epic tirade.
Augie's new favorite art book comes from Pascal Campion. Also, his proposal for an All-New Avengers team, and thoughts on recent convention mergers.
This week, Augie reaches the last issue of Todd McFarlane's "Amazing Spdier-Man" run. Will things end with a bang... or a whimper?
Augie purges a thousand comics, realizing his massive disorganization, while listening to good comics podcasts. Plus, the McSpidey Chronicles' Penultimate Chapter!
Augie reviews the year that was in 2014, and how Pipeline changed over the course of it.
Augie lists the best nine comic series he read in 2014. Plus, the McSpidey Chronicles returns, featuring guest artist Erik Larsen!
Is "Star Wars" #1 a return of the speculator boom? Tumblr is great for comics. And the best McSpidey issue to date!
We don't know why comics go wrong, but one issue of Wildstorm's "Global Frequency" didn't quite work. Plus, the return of The McSpidey Chronicles!
Augie looks at "Chew" as it hits #45, finally catches up on "Marvel's Agents of SHIELD" season one and "All-Star Batman and Robin's" Wonder Woman debut.
Augie looks at Warren Ellis' "Global Frequency" as a new TV series is announced. Plus, the next episode in the epic "All Star Batman" re-read.
In "The Walking Dead" #138, Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard introduce Alpha, leader of the Whisperers. She just wants her daughter back -- but what if her daughter doesn't want to go back?
The war ends with a surprising voice and an optimistic plan for the future. It's not quite what you expected. Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard point their ship in an interesting new direction in "The Walking Dead" #126.
With part two of "All Out War," the story lives up to its title, as Rick's alliance takes the fight to Negan and chaos ensues.
Riley Rossmo's latest series at Image Comics is nearly indescribable, because it's not entirely clear what's going on. There's a guy, some weird things and an ex-girlfriend.
The haunted house of "Ghosted" comes alive and fights back, leaving the team scrambling and fighting between themselves. The zfirst storyline from Joshua Williamson and ends here.
A complication at the precinct house leads the Red Team to watch their backs very closely. When their next mission is interrupted by a destructive third party, Garth Ennis and Craig Cermak's Red Team is forced to ask some tough questions.
"Mark Waid's Green Hornet" suddenly finds himself a lonely man making bad decisions. Is Dynamite's favorite green masked man getting too full of himself?
"Clone" goes into full-scale movie thriller mode with a ticking time bomb, death, chills, and thrills. Image Comics' overlooked gem features Juan Jose Ryp's insanely detailed art depicting crazy genetic mayhem.
Garth Ennis and Craig Cermak's "Red Team" #4 focuses on Trudy, as an unfortunate run-in at a skeevy bar lands her in a sticky situation with only her secret team to help.
Warren Ellis and Jason Howard explore the depths of a living city and one woman's escape from it. It's a webcomic that benefits from a collected edition in keeping the story fresh in your mind, but it's Howard's art that's the bre
In a single-issue story, Phil Hester and Todd Nauck focus on El Chupacabra. He's off to Serbia to apologize to a family whose son died defending him -- and then things go wrong.
"The Activity" #13 is a good introductory issue from Nathan Edmondson and Mitch Gerards, with two complete short stories that stand well on their own, plus a solid tease for what is coming up next.
"Sex" finds it groove with this issue, as Joe Casey and Piotr Kowalski's tale of superhero libido settles into its plot.
Raffaele Ienco's "Epic Kill" comes to its natural conclusion in a way that answers all questions, including some readers didn't know they had. Whether you're happy with the answers, though, is the big question.
The frantic oddball adventures of horror's greatest doctor wraps up another mini-series, as Doctor Vincent Morrow fights an eclectic cast from Brandon Seifert, Lukas Ketner, and Image Comics. While there's a lot to keep track of, it's never
Image Comics' "Invincible" #102 changes another status quo in the series, and that's the life and leadership of the Viltrumites on Earth. A solid issue for long-time readers looking to close up a couple of teased plots from Robert Kirk
Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley return from their month off with the repercussions of the 100th issue of "Invincible," as the characters deal with the consequences of their previous actions.
Image Comics' time travelling FBI action drama from Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh finishes strongly this month, paying off on everything the main character has learned in the four previous issues while maintaining a few surprises.
"The Manhattan Projects" #10 kicks off a new storyline inside the mind of Joseph Oppenheimer. Jonathan Hickman and guest artist Ryan Browne present another new world filled with craziness and bloodlust in the process.
The battle is on in "Glory" #33, as Joe Keatinge and Ross Campbell present the battle of the ages that Glory is here to save Earth from. The entire Extreme Universe is present and it's a bloody mess.
