I use Karen Brodkin's How Jews Became White Folks as an analytic compass to consider the question: Are U.S. Latinos becoming "White"? The purpose of this paper is to meet the question head-on and to help unravel some of the complexity and contradictory issues related to the changing status of a historically marginalized and heterogeneous ethnic group within a society that operates in a Black/White racial binary. My goal is to also describe a social process that may already be under way. The essay explores several indicators that point to this process, including the growing importance of Latinos as consumers for capital accumulation in the neoliberal marketplace, the mounting significance of Latino elites to the American political scene, extant intra-Latino class differences, results of the 2000 U.S. Census, the growing xenophobia against new Latino immigrants, especially racialized indígenos coming across the southwest border, and the enduring power of the American dream, all of which must be interpreted in light of the dramatic and growing decline in the number of "Whites" in America. In this framework, I examine race as racism, and its role in reproducing a class structure where Blackness lurks in the shadows, the marker against which success can be measured and belonging determined. In an effort to anticipate the "dreadfully predictable" patterns and practices of Whiteness, I suggest that the White racial category is likely to expand to include a growing portion of Latinos, particularly those who are "aspiring," assimilated, and "English-proficient." In turn, we are likely to see their ever-growing distance from Blackness as well as from the poorer, "darker," more recent, and undocumented Hispanic indígenos.

Our class size is limited to 18 -- register online prior to arriving to avoid being turned away.
We specialize in YogAlign, which focuses on enhancing postural alignment. Nobody has to touch their toes or force their spine to perform extreme yoga poses that have nothing to do with the way our body is designed to move!
Our approach to yoga is one of self-healing -- of involving your whole mind and body. We don't believe in using force! We practice Ahimsa, non-violence, bringing self-compassion and caring to mindfully and intelligently becoming more fully ourselves.
YogAlign utilizes very scientific-based efficient, functional movement exercises that mimic how the body naturally moves, offering the best antidote to the dysfunctional movement patterns that exist in our technological device based modern culture, while avoiding long-term use injuries associated with many traditional yoga poses.
It's amazing to see the shifts that can happen in just one of our yoga classes!
We focus on deep rib cage 'core' breathing, PNF stretching, and maintaining our four spinal curves, which releases excess tension and increases mobility without stressing the joints. As muscle length and tone becomes more balanced in the front and back of the body, we are brought into more optimal postural alignment and our energy is significantly freed up to become more available for our busy lives!
Most of our yoga classes are practiced in a moderately heated room to promote detoxification through sweating. The heat and humidity create a spa-like atmosphere and make the body very warm, relaxed and therefore naturally more receptive to letting go of tensions.
At the end of a yoga session you will feel more energized, more aligned, stronger, centered, calmer ……with your body more integrated, and moving and breathing with less effort, less tension, and no PAIN!
Check out our offerings to start your sustainable yoga practice now!
Aloha & Namaste,
Joe Sparks
Contentment In Everyday Life
A Five Week Meditation Class with Lesa Ricci
Fridays, 6-8 pm, March 27- April 24
Contentment can be hard to find. Much of the time we search for contentment in things or achievements, but many of us continue to relate to our own mind with a sense of aggression, lack of respect, and self-criticism. With meditation and contemplation practice, we can learn to relax with ourselves as we are and appreciate simple human experience. Difficult emotions and the challenges of life can be met with gentleness, mindfulness and inquisitiveness. With experiential training, contentment can become the foundation for a sane life!
Lesa Ricci began meditating 27 years ago as a Naropa University student. She is a certified Meditation Instructor in the Shambhala Buddhist lineage, a tradition whose view is that every human being has a fundamental nature of goodness, warmth and intelligence that can be cultivated through meditation and further developed in daily life so that it radiates out to family, friends, community and society. Lesa is a native Toledoan who has recently returned after 28 years of service and leadership in a diversity of mission driven non-profits -- most recently as the Executive Director for the Shambhala Meditation Center of Portland for four years and its Practice & Education Director for eight years.

Croft: Injury put me in "dark places"
ESPN Staff
January 8, 2013
Tom Croft played 50 minutes in his comeback game against Worcester last week © PA Photos
Leicester and England flanker Tom Croft has admitted he had to negotiate some "dark place" on his nine-month recovery from a neck injury.
The 27-year-old made his comeback for Leicester in their 31-26 Aviva Premiership victory over Worcester on Friday after undergoing neck surgery last April.
It followed a protracted recovery period for the flanker, which saw him miss England's summer tour to South Africa as well as their autumn internationals against Fiji, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand.
"In all honesty, I have thought no further than Worcester," he told the Leicester Mercury. "It was just about getting through the game unscathed. I have been back and forth to dark places the last nine months, especially in the early months, and then coming back from recovery and thinking about playing.
"The last two-to-three months, I have just been thinking about this first game. Firstly, will I survive it? I've ticked that box - and, secondly, getting back to how I was playing before I got injured. So my thoughts haven't really gone further than that.
"It's a broken bone at the end of the day, and all you can do is as your told medically. You give it rest when it needs rest and, when you can start to build things up again, you can. I was hoping to be back November-December time, but scans showed otherwise.
"That was probably the most frustrating thing. The first sixth months you kind of accept, in terms of the severity of the injury, the last two months you are just saying 'am I ready, am I ready?' and you just keep getting pulled back.
"So it was nice to finally go over that threshold and play the game and come through."
Leicester director of rugby Richard Cockerill has already played down the prospect of Croft featuring for England in their Six Nations campaign, which starts on February 2. And the Tigers flanker is happy to adhere to his coach's plans for his comeback.
"It's down to Cockers in terms of selection," he said. "We have got two massive games coming up. It's up to the coaches where they think I'm at. I trust their judgement. Obviously, there is still room to improve fitness."

Israel Halts Peace Talks After Palestinian Unity Move
Originally published on Thu April 24, 2014 12:35 pm
One day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he was calling off his side's participation in the next session of peace talks with Palestinian leaders, Israel's Cabinet has endorsed that decision and "unanimously decided to cut off contacts," The Associated Press writes.
The impetus, as we reported on Wednesday, is the announcement from the Palestine Liberation Organization and Hamas that they plan to form a national unity government within five weeks.
As the AP notes: "Israel is furious over Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' decision to form a unity government with the rival Hamas movement after a seven-year rift. Israel and the West consider Hamas a terrorist group."
Talks could always resume at some point, of course. The New York Times notes that "the Israelis said no talks would be held at least until the new unity government announced by the Palestinians takes shape." But it's difficult to envision the type of Palestinian government that might lead Israel to reverse its position. The Times adds that Israel said "it would not in any circumstances negotiate with a government that was backed by Hamas, the militant Islamic faction it considers a terrorist group."
The AP concludes that Israel's decision "appears to end a nine-month peace initiative by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. The negotiating period is scheduled to end next Tuesday, though the sides had been trying to agree to an extension."

What would you do if your brand new grout looked like this
What would you have the contractor do or would you hire professionals to come in and fix it. Never mind that the tiles don't line up either.
Having lived thru this ...
I would offer the contractor 2 choices:
1- I don't pay for the tile job and the GC demos all this out, then replaces with new cement backer board.
2- all of this grout is removed, then I see the job without grout, THEN they put in new grout that was properly mixed AND carefully finished.
If you go with option 2 please insist that, "I want to be sure this is done correctly to prevent leaks, so I insist on seeing the tile after the grout is removed. Otherwise I have no way of knowing if the installer chose to put a thin layer of grout over this. I am willing to give you a second chance, but only if this condition is met."
IMHO - anyone who is this sloppy is probably also very lazy, which is why that middle step of "I gotta check to be sure you removed the old grout before you apply new" has to apply.
Good luck!
In real life, I'd say it depends on how close you are to the start or the finish of the project. If you're near the start, then the contractor still has an interest in you being happy enough to make your next few payments on the payment schedule, and so he's going to have more motivation to make you happy.
On the other hand, if you are nearer to the end of your project, only a few payments left for him to collect, then he has far less interest in making you happy enough to hand over your money. I only say that so that you can set your own expectations and demands that it be fixed.
I'd take plenty of photos, determine in your own mind if you trust this contractor to fix it to your satisfaction, and if not, then absolutely stop making payments until you have an estimate from someone else what it will cost to rectify (perhaps tear out and re-do costs?)
So sorry to see that photo and what it means that you're going through. Ask the contractor if he would like to have his own home left like that, or if he'd expect it to be corrected.
That's what the end results looks like when I grout. Which is why I hire out grouting. Totally not acceptable or workmanlike. Dunno that I'd trust the same person to make it right either.
We had Dumb and Dumber do some basement waterproofing in our last house. They had to come back no fewer than 6 times til the job was finally done right. Everything they did made the leaking worse! We should have run away after the first screw up...

In January-August 2012, India added only about 14.52 million mobile subscribers as against 141.65 million in 2011, clearly representing a steep decline in net addition of mobile subscriber in the country.
Favouring a strong Lokpal Bill, Congress Saturday claimed it was the party`s idea for creating the anti-corruption ombudsman even before Anna Hazare.
Rahul Gandhi`s "game changing
idea" was supported by Team Anna which however felt it
was only a long term solution while BJP asked the Congress
leader to stop giving "sermons".
Seeking to buy time, Congress
high command appears to be toying with the idea of having a
Deputy Chief Minister and PCC chief in Andhra Pradesh from
Telangana region amid a growing clamour for a separate state.
Idea launched a service which will help users to communicate with others in 16 different languages.
Aditya Birla Group company Idea Cellular today said its consolidated net profit stood at Rs 170 crore for the third quarter ended December 31, 2009.
Telecom operator Idea Cellular
on Saturday said it has introduced a per second billing plan for its
customers across the country, intensifying the tariff-war in
an already competitive mobile market.
Mobile operator Idea Cellular said CBI has asked the company for its accounts and 2G licence documents in connection with alleged irregularities in allocation of spectrum to new operators by the Department of Telecom (DoT).
IDEA Cellular announced the lowest tariff for mobile users in the city offering all local calls for 40 paise per min on its network for a period of one year, and STD and SMS at 50 paise per min, on any mobile and landline network.
Idea cellular on Saturday introduced per-second pulse rate for its subscribers in Himachal Pradesh, intensifying the already existing tariff war among operators.
IBM on Wednesday said it has bagged an order believed to be worth USD 200 million from Videocon Group`s telecom arm Datacom, which is slated to launch cellular services this year, for providing IT infrastructure and services.
Aditya Birla Group co IDEA Cellular, has announced the lowest tariff for mobile users in the city.
Idea Cellular has tied up with Reuters
Market Light to launch an information service targeted at the
farmers, to provide them with information that would help them
improve production and marketing of their produce.

What parents need to know about ooVoo
According to researchers at Penn State, when it comes to privacy management, adults and teens think very differently. While most adults think first and then ask questions, teens tend to take the risk and then seek help. Unfortunately, the privacy settings on many apps are initially set at the most lenient level. While teens prefer to download and go, making them slow down and change the privacy settings in the beginning can limit problems in the future. This is certainly true with ooVoo.
ooVoo is a messaging app like Kik. It has been around for a while but recently it has been popping on my twitter feed and news alerts. Teens are moving to this app because unlike other services, teens can chat with their Apple friends as easily as their Android buddies or even their laptop friend. While ooVoo is ideal for hosting a study group session, parents and teens should take care. If teens do not lock down their settings, they may see a lot more than a smiling face.
What is ooVoo?
Monitoring is not enough– Time for the Digital Talk
I remember going to the park for the first time with my oldest daughter. I was so excited about our first social outing. I imagined spending most of the afternoon at the park while she played on the slide and made new friends. All of this ended, when she decided to pick up a pile and bark and throw it at another child. How quickly my excitement turned to mortification. Instead of banning the park, we tried it again. On the way to the park, we talked about taking turns on the slide and asking a child to play. For a while, I hovered around ready to step in and help her make the right decisions. Slowly, my hovering transitioned to casually observing her from the park bench. Today, she walks on her own to the local park with friends.
Parents need to approach "the online playground" in the same way. We need to start talking to children about how to behave online from a young age. As soon as they can hold a device, we sit beside them teaching them how the online world works. As they grow, we create age appropriate rules that protect them, while allowing them opportunities to explore. Technology is a powerful tool. If used correctly offers amazing benefits for our kids.
Parents can start by integrating digital parenting into the lessons they are already teaching. Behavior online and behavior offline is the same. For example, rules for communication do not change with 140 characters. Kids should be respectful, kind and thoughtful in all their correspondence. These attributes are even more important in the digital realm. In the absence of tone and expression, kid must be extra careful and thoughtful in their choice of words.
Great Talk Last Night! Here are the Promised Links
This year has been a busy year. Thankfully, I have a full calendar of presentations at middle schools and elementary schools. I love sharing stories with parents about raising kids in a digital world. I always come back from these nights full of energy and new ideas. Last night, I promised to post several articles and links to a few digital parenting sites. As promised —

If you are putting off having the sexting talk with your child, the new study by The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) in partnership with Microsoft may be the kick you need. Released yesterday, this new study exclusively looked at content that appeared self-generated by kids under 20 and featured themselves in the video or pictures. While the study does not tell us how many kids are sexting, it does offer a snapshot of what type of content is out there, how it is produced and how it is spread. Ultimately, it highlights the need for parents to talk earlier about sexting and healthy relationships both offline and online.

South Africa flanker Schalk Burger has broken his silence over his eight-week ban for gouging British & Irish Lions wing Luke Fitzgerald, insisting that he is not a "rugby thug".
Burger's actions in the opening minute of the second Test against the Lions at Loftus Versfeld earned him a trip to the sin-bin, with myriad voices criticising the leniency of this decision from referee Christophe Berdos and his assistant Bryce Lawrence. The incident has cast a shadow over the final week of the Lions tour, a shadow made all the more imposing by the media storm whipped up by Springboks coach Peter de Villiers.
Burger was let off a longer ban by judicial officer Alan Hudson who said that he was "unable to conclude" any eye-gouging on Burger's part, although he said contact with Fitzgerald's left eye could not be described as "insignificant". He will be out of action until late August - ruling him out of the Springboks' opening three Tri-Nations Tests.
"As a proud South African and Springbok rugby player, I only have the utmost respect for the traditions of the wonderful game of rugby," said Burger, who is yet to apologise to Fitzgerald directly. "Through my life and career I have always approached the game with the intention only of playing it hard and fair.
"I am not a rugby thug and will never intentionally engage in eye-gouging or similar illegal actions. This was also the case in the second Test against the Lions. I am therefore grateful that the judicial officer confirmed my stance with his conclusion that there was no deliberate eye-gouging as charged by the citing official.
"I will always play the game as hard as possible within the rules. I apologise to my supporters and fellow team-mates for the fact that I have been absent for the first 10 minutes of the second Test. I look forward to returning with zest in due course."

Travel and Tourism in Mexico to 2017 Tourism accounted for 12.5% of Mexico's GDP and 13.9% of its total employment in 2012. Aarkstore Enterprise (India), 28th September, 2013 : Despite a decline in 2009 due to the financial crisis, the Mexican travel and tourism sector performed well over the last five years. Inbound trips to Mexico recovered to register a CAGR of 0.52%, and outbound tourist volumes posted a CAGR of 1.09% during the same period. Promotional activities by the tourism authority, coupled with relatively stable economic conditions, were the key growth drivers. According to the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC), tourism accounted for 12.5% of the nation's GDP and 13.9% of its total employment in 2012. Domestic tourist volumes increased from 174.2 million in 2008 to 194.3 million in 2012, at a CAGR of 2.78% over the last five years. Between now and 2017, volumes are anticipated to increase at a projected CAGR of 4.51%, to reach 242.2 million by 2017. The key growth drivers are expected to be economic stability, rising levels of consumer confidence and government initiatives to increase domestic tourism. Domestic tourism expenditure is forecast to increase at a CAGR of 8.39% over the next few years to value MXN2.4 billion (US$180.1 million) by 2017. Over the last few years, inbound tourism rose at a CAGR of 0.52%, increasing from 22.6 million tourists in 2008 to 23.1 million in 2012 with the highest annual growth rate of 8.6% being recorded in 2010. Inbound tourist arrivals are expected to reach 25.8 million in 2017, expanding at a CAGR of 2.26%. The key drivers of this growth will be economic improvements in key source markets, improved access to travel services at increasingly competitive prices, and government efforts to promote Mexico as a tourist destination. Mexico's North American neighbors play a major role in tourism activity within the country. Realizing their importance, the Mexican government is taking steps to increase the volume of tourists arriving from the US and Canada. In 2012, Mexico welcomed a total of 18.4 million inbound tourists from the US and 1.3 million from Canada. The Mexican tourism agency launched a 'Mexico taxi project' campaign in an attempt to change the perception of North Americans towards Mexico and to attract more tourists. In May 2010, Mexico liberalized visa requirements for international tourists, and the federal government launched a new visa policy with provisions for automatic entry to tourists, business and transit travelers who possess a US visa. In addition, the country launched an electronic visa application system for Russian, Brazilian and Chinese citizens, enabling them to apply for a Mexican visa online. This resulted in an increase in international visitors to Mexico over the past two years. The Mexican drug war has had an adverse impact on the country's tourism, which is one of the largest sources of foreign exchange earnings and major contributors to GDP. The Mexican tourism industry relies heavily on the US, as around 18.4 million US tourists visit Mexico in 2012. This has had the greatest impact on cities which border the US, where hotel occupancy rates have declined. The US Department of State issued travel warnings for its citizens due to increased levels of violence around the border. Target audience Travel and Tourism companies (Mexican and Global).

Bayer launches smartphone app to help farmers monitor dairy herd health
When a dairy cow is too fat or thin for her stage of lactation, it can cause a loss of milk production, decreases in fertility, and the need for costly drugs to remedy the condition. To monitor the health of their herds, most dairy farmers use a technique called Body Condition Scoring--a chore that's time-consuming and that hinges on unreliable, subjective observations.

Bayer hopes to sell its ailing diabetes device unit to help bolster growth and fund a potential acquisition of Zoetis. The conglomerate would like to focus more closely on medicines, which has been a faster growth area than devices.

U.K. watchdogs back Bayer's Xarelto for heart attack patients
Bayer's Xarelto, which has been cruising along since it joined a new class of warfarin replacement therapies on the market, has faced a rare stumbling block in acute coronary syndrome--an indication the FDA has denied it on three separate occasions. But across the pond, it's picked up a nod in some ACS patients from the U.K.'s cost-effectiveness gatekeeper.
Regeneron's Eylea bests Lucentis, Avastin in diabetic eye disease, NIH study finds

Last month, the feds took issue with Bayer's marketing for its Phillips' Colon Health product, saying the company's claims lacked scientific backing. But the way the German pharma sees it, the legal standard the DOJ is holding it to is not only unfair, it's unprecedented.

The 2013 American Music Awards: Full List of Tonight's Performers
The 2013 American Music Awards air tonight and the line-up of performers is crazy good. Among them . . . Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Kelly Clarkson. Wanna see the full list?
The 2013 American Music Awards air tonight and the line-up of performers is crazy good. Among them . . . Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Kelly Clarkson. Wanna see the full list?
Luke Bryan opened the 2013 CMA Awards on Nov. 6 with his latest hit 'That's My Kind of Night.' Of course, he shook his thang, which has become his trademark, and he sparkled, too.
Whoever these two knuckleheads are who got into the dust-up at the Luke Bryan concert should be thankful it was a LUKE BRYAN concert and not a Tim McGraw concert. Tim just jumps in there and tosses you out. Luke goes at it differently.
Jason Aldean has Luke Bryan's back. While the 'That's My Kind of Night' singer himself hasn't responded publicly to comments made by Zac Brown about his song, Aldean had some strong words for people "runnin' their mouths."
Zac Brown took tailgate, moonlight and daisy dukes songs to task during a recent radio interview. The singer held nothing back with his opinion of certain modern day country sounds, including the latest single from Luke Bryan.
Luke Bryan's name may have been on the ticket, but at a recent concert in New Jersey, an adorable 6-year-old girl with red pigtails stole the show.
Some country stars wear cowboy hats. And then there are others, like Luke Bryan, who you won't see onstage in a ten gallon hat. The 'That's My Kind of Night' singer says cowboy hats just aren't for him.
Country fans are fiercely loyal about their favorite music genre -- sometimes to the point that they only want "true country artists" to identify themselves as country singers. But Luke Bryan thinks that there's room for blending genres in today's brand of mainstream country music.
Everyone knows that Luke Bryan can shake his hips. And, when he shakes it, he really likes to shake it. But the 'twerking' phenomenon is another thing entirely -- comprised of 'twisting' and 'jerking.' The question is this: Can the 'That's My Kind of Night' hitmaker actually 'twerk' with the best of them?
The first show SOLD OUT so quickly, they have added another. And Luke Bryan will be performing his Dirt Road Diaries Tour twice in Nashville (the first time on October 18th, the second the 19th) and special guests Dierks Bentley and Cole Swindell will be along for the ride. Tickets for Luke's added show go on sale Friday at all Ticketmaster locations, but there is a presale event on Thursday! And guess what? We have the PRESALE CODE!!
Luke Bryan plays it safe on 'Crash My Party,' his new album and the follow-up to the tremendously successful 'Tailgates and Tanlines.' With the exception of the infusion of hip-hop on two songs, there is little to differentiate the two projects.
What's even better than a bright red 1976 Bronco? According to Jason Aldean, it's a seriously pimped out 1976 Bronco -- complete with a leather interior and embroidered Jack and Ace playing cards on the headrest of each seat. Now, that's a pimped ride.

Great for Rest and Renewal
Marvelous! Tanith's Retreat is indeed a wonderful retreat away from the world - yet only 10 minutes away from civilization. I came here for rest and renewal and it was easy to do in such a quiet and serene environment. The owners were very helpful and friendly and went out of their way to help me when I needed to stay an additional night. One of the things I liked the most was hearing an occasional horse's whinny. I felt like it was Mr. Ed talking to me and I enjoyed it very much. Tanith's Retreat is a real gem and I appreciate the opportunity to enjoy it. Thank you!

Powdery leaf mildew
Is there anything I can do to prevent it? For the last two years my zucchini plants have suffered through it. I spray with baking soda water and remove the affected leaves. I stake it and tie it up as it grows so it isn't laying on the ground. I lost two pumpkin plants to it the first year (they were just spreading out on the ground and it took a while to figure out what it was that was killing them). My zucchini did okay last year in spite of the powdery mildew, but they could produce so much better and it's such a hassle to keep on top of it.
I'm planting a different variety of zucchini this year, but I'm trading seeds with my sister, so I don't know what specific variety it is or whether it is resistant to powdery leaf mildew.
Is there anything I can do proactively to avoid it this year? I can't really move my zucchini to a different part of the garden without putting some other squash in its place - we rent and I have very limited garden space.
Yes. Actually, that's the key --- to start treating for it before you SEE symptoms. So, whatever your choice of fungicide( baking soda, potassium bicarbonate, milk, neem oil, etc.), you want to start applying it after you transplant to garden from day 1.
Air circulation is also important and try to plant in the most sunny part of the garden.
Rotation isn't really an important thing for PM, since it needs live tissue to survive. Zucchini usually trucks on through PM, just remove any affected leaves to the vine. It's usually OTHER cucurbits that struggle with it for me.
My cucumbers get planted right next to the zucchini, so I should treat them too, right? They didn't really seem very affected last year. Maybe because they were more affected by some sort of yellow wilting that I didn't notice much powdery mildew.
Can you tell me more about treatments? I've used baking soda/water because that's what I read can help it and I had it on hand... but it's harsh on the leaves so I tried to only use it where it was already slightly affected by the mildew (really bad leaves were just removed, the baking soda was only on the ones I was trying to save).
I'm trying to keep organic or, more importantly, non-toxic since my little girls like to help in the garden too. Is there a better alternative to baking soda that isn't so harsh to the leaves, but is also non-toxic?
All of the above that I mentioned are organic. I've tried the baking soda and milk before and didn't have too much luck but that was before I knew that proactive treatments were necessary for keeping PM at bay.
Neem works good, but in the summer when it's over 80F or the sum of the temps AND humidity is >140, then you shouldn't use pesticides et al. If you do use, wait until at dusk.
Potassium bicarbonate works well also. And for the money, is economical. I still lost my cantaloupes to PM last year but that was because summer came early here and I didn't practice what I preach by treating from day 1. It won't happen again! You can buy it online but wine and brewer's shops have it also. The brew shops wanted too much but I found a wine shop that sells it for $6/lb. So, shop around. Use at a rate of 4 tsp/gallon of water.
Yep. treat any cucurbit(cukes, squashes, melons) since they tend to be the most susceptible. I did see some on my maters last year, but not bad enough to inhibit production. Peas can also have a problem with PM, but it usually doesn't affect it until they're about done for the season anyway.
As far as the milk treatment, I've heard some rave about it. I also have heard some wide ranging ratios. From 10:1 to 4:1, from fat free to whole. Dunno.
Regarding toxicity, the harshness you mention may have been too much baking soda mixed with water. Try it about the same ratio as the potassium bicarbonate. It may have also been the whole temp thing I mentioned. With any treatment, do at dusk, and if it's going to be a scorcher and/or very bright(sun) the next day, rinse off in the morning. Good idea for any pesticide et al in the dead of summer..
Good luck.

12 lb of M.O.
Simcoe addtions:
0.5 @ 60
1 @ 20
1 @ 5
1 @ Flameout
1 Dry hop
55 IBU's
Mash at 152 for 60 minutes
75% est. efficiency for 1.062 OG
Does this sound reasonable, anyone have any suggestions or experience with this combination?
Thanks in advance
Maris Otter tastes fantastic. If you're trying to let the grain character really come through, the IBUs might be a touch high and Simcoe might be a bit heavy. In that case, I'd say use a milder English hop and target about 45IBU so it's more of an ESB. If you're just looking to make a really tasty APA, your recipe is great.
I did a SMaSH of Maris Otter and Simcoe last year. 1.052 OG and I just divided up 1 oz. to give about an APA level 40 IBU's so the hop and the grain could be tasted. I was pretty happy with it.
Your IBUs aren't that high, but I suspect that all of the hop flavor will overpower the character of the M.O.
I will decrease my late hop additions and try to get my IBU's in the 40's. I hope this will showcase not only the malt but also the hops and make for a well balanced SMaSH APA.
Word of caution, if you're drinking a vertically-hopped Simcoe beer, it MAY taste like onions, caramelized onions, just saying, has happened before. Happy brewing.
Anyone else think the mash should maybe be a bit higher to bring out more of the malt flavor, like 154ish? I only have done one smash and it was with munich. I mashed at 152 just like you did, but that was because munich is known to be malty. Just thinking you might want to go a bit higher with MO to help balance the potent simcoe hops.
I made a MO simcoe smash IPA 2 months ago. It was an awesome beer.
I mashed at 152, but if I made it again, I would mash higher to let the malt shine more.
No onion flavoring from using 6 oz of hops in the boil.

Picture quality for this film is actually very good.
The life of Lincoln contains so many rich lessons of honesty, charity, and endurance that I would reccommend this video and others like it.

I'm sure if Steve Jibs of Snapple Inc. post some viral videos of the iPud showing its Adobe support, multi-tasking and USB ports, thousands of rabid fanbois would queue up outside Snapple Stores to buy one and part with their hard-earned cash before they had calmed down enough to realise they had been duped, albeit with a device of better capabilities than their iPads.

SYLLABUS FOR F420 EQUITY & FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS SUMMER 2007 Instructor: Yan (Ann) Zhang Office: BU307, Cubicle 38 Office Hours: Mon &Wed 1:00-1:30pm, by appointment Class Time: Mon-Fri 11:45am-1:00pm; from May 8th to June 14th, 2007 Class Room: BU 423 E-mail Address: email@example.com 1. COURSE DESCRIPTION F420 builds on the investment and analytical concepts and tools taught in F303, F305 and some of your accounting courses. We will focus on the valuation of equity and fixed income securities, the formation of a portfolio, and the allocation between the asset classes. The course is designed to mimic the activities and decisions made by portfolio managers and analysts in a diversified mutual fund; that is, we will focus on the security selection decision, the weighting of these securities into a portfolio, the allocation between stocks and bonds, and the management and analysis of the risks of these positions. In addition, you will act as a typical Wall Street (investment) security analyst and use various analytical tools to completely analyze and report out on company and its valuation. 2. TEXTBOOK (required) Investment Analysis: Portfolio Management, 8e by Frank K. Reilly and Keith C. Brown Additional Readings Various articles and investment literature will be posted to Oncourse to supplement the course topics. These are required readings and will be key learning tools throughout the course. Regular reading of WSJ, Barron's, Fortune, and The Economist, and regular watching of CNBC, FNN or MSNBC is strongly encouraged in order to get the full benefit of the class. Classroom time will be allocated to discuss how the course material applies to current world-wide events. Other Resources Your book outlines many websites at the end of each chapter that are useful in looking up financial information. In addition, the IU online libraries are an excellent source of financial databases and publications. For example, INVESTEXT Plus provides investment-related reports on various companies and industries worldwide. Finally, the StockTrak (www.stocktrak.com) website you'll use for the Portfolio project also list several fine investment websites. P. 1/6 3. COURSE OUTLINE The flow of the course is as follows. First, we will skim quickly through Reilley and Brown (henceforth, RB) Ch 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 (you are expected to master these materials by reading on your own). Our focus will be on the second part of the course, which consists of four sections: (i) Asset allocation decision (sometimes referred to as benchmark selection): Here, you will learn how to a. Establish appropriate investment goals for each different investor. b. Translate your goals as well as your other needs and constraints into a policy statement. c. Allocate wealth across asset classes, given your knowledge about their risk and return characteristics, in order to achieve your goals as stated in the policy statement. This section covers RB Ch 2 and 3. (ii) Analysis of common stocks: My approach to learning in this part will be top-down, starting with country or industry analysis and ending with company analysis and stock valuation. Although we will spend most of our time on the fundamental analysis, technical analysis will be at least tangentially covered (so that you know what it is and when it is going to be useful). This section covers RB Ch 12, 13, 14, and 15. The portfolio management strategies part will be covered later in the fourth section. (iii) Analysis of bonds: You are supposed to learn the fundamentals and develop a general understanding of the bond markets. Our focus will be on Treasury (government) bonds although corporate and municipal bonds will also be covered. This section covers RB Ch 17, 18 and 19. Again, the portfolio management strategies part will be deferred to the next section. (iv) Active management and performance evaluation: This section will give you most of the fundamental skills needed to be a portfolio manager and/or a risk manager. We will first contrast active management with passive management (or indexing). We will then use the skills developed in the previous sections to implement an indexing strategy as well as actively manage a stock or bond portfolio. Here, total risk (as measured by Value-at-Risk) and tracking risk (as measured by tracking error) will be compared and contrasted. We will explore in great detail how to measure performance, in both the absolute sense and the relative sense. Finally, we will learn some techniques that can be used to explain where the returns and risks come from. This section covers RB Ch 16, 19, 24, and 25. In the last part of the course, we will put everything together in an attempt to understand how the overall investment process works and what skills and techniques are critical in each step of the process. You should use the following tentative schedule in preparing for class: P. 2/6 (Class) Date TOPICS READINGS Assignments Due Text (RB); Oncourse (O) (1-3) May 8, 9, 10 Introduction: The investment RB: (Ch1, 4) List of team background & Developments in RB: (Ch 5, 6, 7) members' names Investment Theory RB: (Ch 8, 9) due (May 9) Introduction: Investment theory F303/305 Review (on your own) (4-5) May 11,14 Introduction: Valuation RB: Ch 10, 11, part of 12 HW1 (randomly principles and practices (the collected on or analysis of financial statements, after May 14) security valuation, and macroeconomic analysis) (6) May 15 Asset allocation decision RB: Ch 2,3 (7-8) May 16, 17 Group presentations: Asset 2-page investment allocation and investment guidelines (due guidelines (introduction part) May 16) (9) May 18 Common stocks: Country RB: Ch 12 analysis (10) May 21 Common stocks: Industry RB: Ch 13 analysis (11-12) May 22, 23 Common stocks: Company RB: Ch 14 HW2 (randomly analysis and stock valuation HLG Research, Automotive collected on or sector (O) after May 22) (13) May 24 Technical analysis RB: Ch 15 Damodaran, An introduction to valuation (O) CitiGroup, IBM (O) (14) May 25 Bonds: Basic terms and jargons RB: Ch 17 5-page company analysis (May 25) May 28 Memorial Day, No class (15) May 29 Mid-term exam All the materials covered to date (16-17) May 30,31 Bonds: Bond mathematics (for RB: Ch 18 valuation and risk analysis) Place, Basic bond analysis (O) (18) June 1 The asset management industry RB: Ch 16 (p. 607-608), 24 (p.

PROJECTS The following three small projects are to be completed by a team of four people. You are required to submit the names of all your team members by the end of the second class (May 9). The same team will work together on all three projects. 4.1 Investment Policy Statement (IPS) You will be given your client's profile, including investment goals, future income, liquidity requirements, and other constraints and limitations. You will act as a planner, helping your client draft an IPS. Our focus is not on the legal content and format of the IPS, but rather on the financial parts of the IPS. That is you should state clearly the investment objectives, the target asset allocation, allowable asset classes, and how much the manager can deviate from the target allocation. In addition, you should provide estimates of expected return and risk (i.e. standard deviation of returns), and some scenario analysis in order to demonstrate your proposed allocation will meet your client's objectives. Finally, depending on your client's circumstances, you may also need to perform your analysis both in nominal terms and in real terms. You will have 10 minutes to present your work and convince me and your fellow classmates (as your clients) to approve your IPS (on either May 16 or May 17). You will also need to submit a 2-page written IPS with very brief supporting figures and reasoning at the beginning of the class on May 16. Your grade will depend on both your presentation and report, although more emphasis will be given to the presentation. P. 4/6 4.2 Company Analysis Report In this project, you will select a company, analyze the market and industry conditions, fully analyze the company's financials, complete a valuation of the company using several valuation models/techniques, and then compile a written research report similar to what is done by Wall Street (and the like) analysts. The report shall be no longer than 5 pages (including graphs and tables). The project will require you to stay up-to-date on news that affects the company and its industry, including following other analysts comments and tracking earnings and news announcements from the company. Plagiarism will not be accepted and will be severely punished. The report must reflect the most up-to-date news and information as of the submission date (May 25). 4.3 Investment Strategy Proposal In this project, you will act as an active fund manager. Your job is to propose a few active bets that will yield a positive return over a given investment benchmark (under a set of constraints, given in terms of allowable asset classes, limits on deviations from the benchmark, and/or maximum losses). You must consider the most current information on both the macro levels (country and industry) and the micro levels (each individual stock). Specific figures, including expected returns and ex-ante tracking errors, are expected. Proficiency in spreadsheet modeling will be very helpful here. You will have 10 minutes to present your strategies, and convince me and your fellow classmates (as the investment committee) to approve them (on either June 11 or 12). You will also need to submit a 5- page strategy proposal with very brief supporting tables, figures, and qualitative reasoning at the beginning of the class on June 11. Your grade will depend on both your presentation and report, although again more emphasis will be given to the presentation. 5. HOMEWORK The list of questions will be posted on ONCOURSE 2-3 days before the homework is due. Most (but not all) of the questions will come from Reilly & Brown text chapters we cover. We will cover some problems in class (but not all). However, I will post the answer keys to ALL chapter problems and other homework questions throughout the course. Homework is to be done legibly either by hand or via Word/Excel, suitable for submission. I will collect on a RANDOM basis on the assigned due dates. I will not grade homework, but look for honest efforts in attempting the questions/problems. This will constitute half of your participation/HW grade. 6. GRADING Projects & Spreadsheet Exercises (45%): 1. Investment Policy Statement………… 300 points 2. Company Analysis…………………… 200 points 3. Strategy Proposal…………………….. 300 points Exams (35%): 1. Mid-Term Quiz.................................... 300 points 2. Final Exam (cumulative)……….......... 500 points P. 5/6 Homework & Participation (20%): 400 points Total 2000 points Grade Policy and Reporting Grading is done on a relative (not absolute) basis. Standard Finance department policy is that the average GPA will fall between 2.70 and 3.0. The class curve is based on total points for the course. I will post % scores for exams/projects to ONCOURSE. 7. F420 POLICIES 1. F420 operates under a "closed computer" policy. 2. I expect students to be ready for class at the scheduled time. Class will start on time. 3. Class attendance is strongly encouraged. If you need to miss a class, you are expected to notify me in advance (if possible). In any case, class assignments must be turned in to me BEFORE class (via email or in my office) if you are to receive credit. 4. Bring a calculator to every class session. It will be useful when we do live exercises. 5. Homework will be collected RANDOMLY and count toward your participation/HW grade. 6. Make-up exams will only be given for family or medical emergencies. Prior notice and hard evidence are required. 7. Projects are due on the due date. No project will be accepted late. 8. I will try to stick to the course outline schedule, however adjustments may be made. P. 6/6

Sonia Canterini, Valentina Carletti, Stefania Nusca, Franco Mangia and Maria Teresa Fiorenza Multiple TSC22D4 iso-/phospho-glycoforms display idiosyncratic subcellular localizations and interacting protein partners FEBS Journal 280
Article first published online: 31 JAN 2013 | DOI: 10.1111/febs.12123
Proteins of TSC22 domain family play isoform-specific roles in cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. We have characterized the nature, subcellular localizations and protein partners of TSC22D4 splice variants TSC22D4-42 and TSC22D4-55 and glyco-phospho-forms TSC22D4-67 and TSC22D4-72. TSC22D4-42 and TSC22D4-67 associate with TSC22D1.2 and mitochondrial AIF, respectively, depending on neuronal differentiation. TSC22D4-72 and TSC22D4-55 are stably chromatin- and nuclear matrix-associated, respectively
