Shaping youth of tomorrow
Early puzzle play can help boost spatial skills |
Shaping youth of tomorrow EDUCATION is the backbone of any society, since it performs the vital functions of informing, socialising and civilising the young minds who are gradually getting into the spaces, both private and public, where significant decisions are going to be made. In other words, it is this youth, the target group of education system in any society, which shall be giving a shape to the future social system, including the economic, political and cultural. But as a matter of fact, the educational system comprising schools, colleges, universities and other technical institutions happens to be just one segment of the broader system that educates the young minds. The other segments include family, neighbourhood, media, market, religion, polity and so on. It is generally assumed that the spaces where our youth are imparted education are only the classrooms, with teachers at the steering, leading the process. A few decades ago, these spaces no doubt comprised the most important segment out of all others, the family and neighbourhood coming next, since the youth had little exposure to either market or media. Their interface with religion and polity was by and large mediated through the family. On the other hand, todays young brigade has a direct, uninterrupted and continuous interface with market, media and polity, while the family and the school have been pushed to the background. Both education and market/media have youth as the most important target group but with a subtle difference. So far as our country is concerned, it is liable to universalise education which is a national goal and for that the numbers matter the most. Having worked on school enrolment figures, the global pressures through quality control measures have forced India to enhance its enrolment ratio in higher education. This endeavour is being pursued by increasing the number of higher educational institutions all over the country, resulting into higher enrolment. Going back to the issue, while the stakeholders in educational institutions, teachers being most pertinent, have no personal interest in educating the students, beyond completing (or not) the syllabi in the privacy of classrooms, the stakeholders in market and media successfully and aggressively reach out to the target youth. The inputs as well as incentives in both the ventures therefore are quite varied, differently motivated and ignited. The results are bound to be different too. Education in this sense thus is lackluster, frivolous, dispensable and uninteresting. What these institutions in fact are imparting is not education but mere information, without any context, value frame or relevance. Under these circumstances, the zeal with which the stakeholders in the corporate sector work, with commercial stakes lying high, has no match with their counterparts in the educational sector. The consequence is a complete trivialisation of education not only in its content but even its essentiality. If education is just information, one can have it through online programmes or open schools/universities, as per ones own convenience. In fact, going to a particular school or college or university has primarily become a matter of status symbol. With a huge premium placed on the brands, that too the international ones, thanks to globalisation, one opts for a school or university, mainly for the tag that it carries. In such a system, one can very well understand the plight of a school or college situated in a remote rural area, attended by all those (including teachers as well) not having access to the better ones. How can one expect them to deliver quality education, when they too are restlessly waiting for an opportunity to move to the core, in an earnestness to join the bandwagon? The most important question is, does education really imply dissemination of information only? What about the live experience of having a teacher in flesh and blood, who does not just pass on information but is ideally supposed to guide and direct the students not only towards their goals but even the means they should adopt. Has the teaching community completely surrendered before the market and media, choosing the most convenient option? This is the reason why a teacher has lost the glory he/she had been enjoyed through ages. In order to actually educate the highly exposed, intelligent and difficult students, teachers have to be ahead of them in knowledge (not just information), communication, interpersonal skills and self-confidence. In the name of democracy and individualism, it has been foolish for teachers, especially in higher educational institutions, to throw away the authority that naturally goes with their profession. Yes, a teacher is supposed to be the greatest friend of his/her students, most trustworthy of all, but does that mean only gossiping, smoking and drinking with them, with a non-interfering attitude at a time when they need an advice? Respecting others privacy in no way implies a lack of empathy and concern, especially when the other (student in this case) desperately needs it. Even a robot can impart information, but only a human teacher is competent enough to contextualise the knowledge and deliver it to the young minds in an absolutely objective manner. (Ab)using the classroom for poisoning the young minds with a particular political ideology is no less than a crime, for which not only the teachers but the whole society has to pay a huge price. Therefore, in the process of education, both means and ends are equally important. Not only what is being taught, but how it is taught makes all the difference. It is imperative thus that education is not any kind of business; it is no business in fact. It is the most significant segment of a society, which makes or breaks the future of a society. With the commercialisation taking the front seat through both the media and market, it is all the more important that the education system is revitalised, with the most competent (in knowledge and wisdom) minds being entrusted with educating the young boys and girls just not towards making more and more money but developing critical abilities to shape a future society that is actually civilised. And for that, we certainly cannot afford to trivialise education!

Early puzzle play can help boost spatial skills
WASHINGTON: Engaging children in puzzle play can help in the development of spatial skills, which has implication for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers later in their life, say experts. A study by University of Chicago researchers has found that children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 later develop better spatial skills. Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of spatial skill after controlling for differences in parents income, education and the overall amount of parent language input. The children who played with puzzles performed better than those who did not, on tasks that assessed their ability to rotate and translate shapes, said psychologist Susan Levine, a leading expert on mathematics development in young children. The ability to mentally transform shapes is an important predictor of STEM. Activities such as early puzzle play may lay the groundwork for the development of this ability, the study found. For the research, 53 child-parent pairs from diverse socio-economic backgrounds participated in a longitudinal study, in which researchers video-recorded parent-child interactions for 90-minute sessions that occurred every four months between 26 and 46 months of age. The parents were asked to interact with their children as they normally would, and about half of the children in the study were observed playing with puzzles at least once. Higher-income parents tended to engage children with puzzles more frequently. Both boys and girls who played with puzzles had better spatial skills, but boys played with more complicated puzzles than girls, and the parents of boys provided more spatial language during puzzle play and were more engaged in play than the parents of girls.

Guru Jambheshwar University of
Science and Technology, Hisar A former Director of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Jagdeep S. Chhokar, said the corporates could play an important role in the development of management education worldwide. In his keynote address to the annual national conference on "Business and Management" that concluded at the Haryana School of Business of Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, he said integration of practical training and simulation in management education would make it socially relevant. He said the corporate world demanded global level of competence in managers. Business schools should pay special attention to this aspect and work with corporates to improve the system of business education. The Vice-Chancellor of GJU, Dr M. L. Ranga, said management educators and scholars should interact regularly to learn from their experiments, experiences and concerns to improve the quality of management education. A book edited by S. C. Kundu, B. K. Punia, Karam Pal and Dalbir Singh, "Business Management: Key Research Issues", and another book by R. S. Jaglan and Karam Pal, "University Administration and System in India", were also released during the inaugural session. More than 250 delegates from different parts of the country participated in the conference. About 40 resource persons from institutions of academic and professional repute oversaw the technical sessions of the conference. Twenty technical sessions on different functional areas of business management addressed issues relating to finance and accounting, marketing, human resource and total quality management.
Varsity don wins award
Dr Dinesh Dhingra, Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, has been awarded Prof. P.C. Dandiya Endowment Trust Prize for Best Publication Award in Pharmacology for biennial 2010 and 2011. This prize was awarded to Dr Dhingra during the 20th Prof. P.C. Dandiya Oration held at SMS Medical College, Jaipur recently. The research papers in pharmacology published during 2010 and 2011 were invited by Prof. P.C. Dandiya Endowment Trust from all over the country for the best publication award in pharmacology. The research publications of Dr Dinesh Dhingra were adjudged the best. CCS Haryana Agricultural
University, Hisar The Indian Council for Agricultural Research (ICAR) has entrusted the task of evaluating wheat germplasm lines deposited in gene bank at NBPGR, New Delhi, to Haryana Agricultural University. Under this evaluation programme, the potential germplasm lines will be identified to develop short duration, heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, high protein and high yielding varieties of wheat for various agro-climatic conditions in India. To carry out the evaluation, a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between NBPGR and HAU. Vice-Chancellor K. S. Khokhar said the environmental changes were likely to increase the pressure on Indian agriculture, in addition to the ongoing stresses of yield stagnation, competition for land and water use and globalisation. It was estimated that by 2020, food grains requirement would almost be 35 per cent more than the current demand. This would have to be produced from the same or even the shrinking land and depleting water resources. Wheat was one of the main food grain crops of India. Increasing temperatures and changes in rainfall pattern were impacting wheat production. Therefore, lot of efforts were being made at the ICAR and the universities level to face the emerging challenges of soil health, water scarcity and climate change, so that the momentum of increasing wheat production was maintained. He said the evaluation programme was the beginning of the exercise.

English Literature: Twentieth-Century
Brigid Brophy and Joe Orton Two younger writers of the 1960s, the novelist Brigid Brophy (b. 1929) and the playwright Joe Orton (1933-1967), exuberantly and fantastically complement the sober maturity of Ackerley and Crisp. Orton's Entertaining Mr. Sloane (1964), Loot (1966), and What the Butler Saw (1967) celebrate the Dionysian frenzy of amoral, polymorphously perverse sexualities. Brophy's In Transit (1969) revives the intermediate type, via Orlando. The novel's hero(ine) has no determinate gender, and the text's middle and end become "bi-textual" inasmuch as the reader is furnished with alternative versions of the story, printed in double columns. Under the influence of "intermediate" inspirations, language and fiction are "in transit" to a new state of art and eros. Not surprisingly, and in a way that revives the heroic gay tradition, Brophy's next book after In Transit is her colossal revaluation of Firbank, Prancing Novelist (1971), which along with The Lion and the Fox is one of the best critical studies in English of a gay writer. The works and themes of Wilson and Brophy, along with Christopher and His Kind, remain paradigms of the literary culture of the final quarter of the twentieth century. Writers of the Final Quarter of the Twentieth Century During this time, homosexual men and women had to face on two fronts a new world war of sorts: first, the resurgence of religious, moral, and political conservatism in England since 1979, undermining both the modest legal gains of the Wolfenden legislation and the major literary-cultural achievements of homosexuality in the first three quarters of the century; second, the destruction of homosexual lives by the AIDS plague. Neither the call of heroic narrative nor of erotic pleasure easily withstands the new onslaught of cultural and biological suppression. Yet the literary work went on, freshly reviving and revising the by now traditional motifs. Jeannette Winterson Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985) by Jeannette Winterson (b. 1959), echoing Lolly Willowes, intermingles realism and fairy-tale narrative as it presents a woman's lesbianism emerging from her domestic and religious compulsions. Patrick Gale Forster's, Isherwood's, and Wilson's interest in the relation of homosexuality to post-colonial formations was taken up by Patrick Gale (b. 1962) in the comedy of Kansas in August (1987), in which the gay hero Hilary loses his lover to his sister Henry, then is maneuvered into becoming the father of his Indian landlady's illegitimate granddaughter. The gay man thereby inherits, in a transformative way, the global political condition in which he now has only an equivocally advance guard status. Hanif Kureishi A similar inheritance awaits the gay hero of Hanif Kureishi's The Buddha of Suburbia (1990), where a new breed of erotic and cultural possibilities emerges from three old histories: English, Indian, and gay. Alan Hollinghurst Retrospective meditations on English homosexual life's stories and pleasures, from Carpenter and Firbank to the present, are the substance of The Swimming-Pool Library (1988) by Alan Hollinghurst (b. 1954). Hollinghurst evokes both ancient and modern nonheroic compromises of homosexuality with racism and imperialism, with cultures that condemn as well as sustain homoeroticism, and with homosexuality's own capacity for erotic pleasure. The polish of Hollingsworth's narrator masks a dark pessimistic vision of modern homosexuality's relation to politics. Adam Mars-Jones A more optimistically intermediate point of view is recovered, surprisingly, in the AIDS stories Monopolies of Loss (1992) by Adam Mars-Jones (b. 1954). Although fully responsive to the horrors of AIDS, Mars-Jones's stories show the unsettling power of art's capacity to treat and transform mortality itself. Given the modern tradition that associates homosexuality with aestheticism, Mars-Jones's art becomes an implicit figure for homosexual reinventions of mortality.

"We want the release of all the prisoners within a few months," Ashraf al-Ajrami, the PA minister for prisoner affairs, told Army Radio in a Jerusalem interview Friday.
In a meeting with Israeli Public Security Minister Avi Dichter, Ajrami said the release must include Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, who is serving five life sentences and who senior Israeli politicians have said they would consider releasing, Haaretz reported Friday.
"Dichter didn't say at the meeting that he would free Barghouti because he has a firm opinion on this matter, but we always talk about the need to free prisoners. Everything is now dependent on negotiations between the two sides," Ajrami said.
Dichter declined publicly to discuss the meeting, Haaretz reported, noting Ajrami is expected to visit Barghouti in jail next week.

You may not have heard of Rod Fergusson, but his contributions to games in the past few years have been pretty significant. After overseeing the entire Gears of War series at Epic Games, he left the company last year to help prep Irrational's Bioshock Infinite for release, overseeing production and serving as executive producer. Now that Infinite is out the door, Fergusson has set his sights on something new, heading up a new studio with 2K Games.
Thus far all Fregusson has tweeted is that he's working on an "exciting new project," with more news to follow soon.
What could it be? Considering Fergusson's track record, I'd bet it's something pretty high profile. Maybe a new follow-up to the impossible-to-follow-up Spec-Ops: The Line? Time will tell.

Semantic Web Services aim to better support the life-cycle of Web services and service-based applications by exploiting semantic descriptions of services. Research in this field has been considerably active and has produced a large number of ontologies, representation languages, and integrated frameworks supporting the discovery, composition and invocation of services among other tasks. In this chapter we provide a thorough, albeit necessarily brief, overview of the conceptual models devised so far, giving the reader a perspective on the relationships, coverage and applicability of each of them together with pointers for gathering further insights and details about these solutions and related software.

A review by Hank Luttrell
But I'm older now. I have more trouble believing in these stories. Faster than light travel begins to seem more like
fantasy and less like science fiction. Not that I don't read and enjoy fantasy; I just expect science fiction to be
realistic in ways I don't with fantasy.
So when a book can really work on a vast interstellar stage, and seem scientifically plausible, well, that's something.
Most of the story in Wheelers takes place on Earth or on Jupiter or points between. And a vast, epic story it
is. Equal emphasis is given to the character development of twin sisters and the son of one of the sisters on earth, and
the fascinating details of the exceedingly alien civilization in the atmosphere of Jupiter. Earth is menaced by an
impact by a comet, which seems to have been somehow hurled at Earth by an incredible manipulation of Jupiter's moons.
I couldn't bear to give away too much of this great book, rich with scientific and philosophic speculation, but the
extrapolation which puts life on Jupiter is used to create a sort of unified field theory of interstellar life. This
is great fun, with huge ideas and believable, well developed -- if sometimes larger than life -- characters.
The fellows who wrote this book have a long background writing popular science, not to mention the recent book on
Terry Pratchett's books, The Science of Discworld. If this book is any indication, they have a promising future
writing rewarding science fiction.
Hank Luttrell has reviewed science fiction for newspapers, magazines and web sites. He was nominated for the Best Fanzine Hugo Award and is currently a bookseller in Madison, Wisconsin. |

Not All the Fireworks Were in the Sky
Today, Narobi and Jean-Francois are happily married. But not so long ago, they were sad singles without the sense that something special was in store for them. "I was tired of all the disappointments from regular dating," admits Narobi. "I tried other sites, but yours was better."
So she created a profile and waited. For three months, nothing happened. Enter Jean-Francois. He too was down on his luck in love. "I was not confident at all," says Jean-Francois. "I thought it was all fun and games [online]. I was not looking for love, more for friends."
But he found more than a friend in Narobi. Just a week into his membership, Jean-Francois noticed her profile. She had an unusual username. "I emailed 'cherrykee,'" says Jean-Francois. "She was very beautiful and seemed easy going. She is very similar to what I have always liked, but very different from me."
Receiving the email, Narobi looked up Jean-Francois' profile. It's not that he was unappealing, but nor was he exactly what she expected from her future husband. She says Jean-Francois was "not at all similar to what I thought I liked. The complete opposite, to be honest! But it turned out to be exactly what I needed."
Intrigued enough to see where this went, Narobi replied to the message and the pair began a correspondence. That went well. "We were texting a lot, so I figured it was time for a real date," Narobi explains. So they spent some time together in the flesh. One thing that really impressed Narobi was her date's manners. "He was a true gentleman. Very nice to talk to… and to look at! It was the 4th of July, and sparks were in the air immediately. I was very sure we would go out again."
It wasn't just Narobi who felt the fireworks going off between them. The date didn't disappoint Jean-Francois, either. "She was very beautiful! The conversation just flowed for hours. She was so easy to talk to. I had the feeling we'd known each other for a very long time."
One thing Narobi didn't pick up from Jean-Francois' dating profile was his way with words. She singles out for praise "his ability to communicate, even though we are from two different parts of the world."
While Jean-Francois was pushing his vocabulary to the limit, he acknowledges that Narobi was a receptive listener. "Narobi was very patient and understanding of me having a different first language," notes Jean-Francois.
The more the couple got to know each other, the more they were able to overcome their cultural differences. They developed a connection far more profound than mere language can convey. In time, Narobi and Jean-Francois made the decision to cohabitate. "After we moved in together, I got down on one knee in our living room and asked her to be my wife. She accepted, making me the happiest man on Earth. It's the first time in my life that I have known real love. The love that we have is awesome, great and unexplainable."
"I never knew real love existed before him," adds Narobi. "But now I'm living my fairy tale life."
We asked Narobi if she had any encouraging words for the singles still on our site. "Yes," she replied. "If you're looking for real love, this site is the place to find it!" Jean-Francois chimes in, "This is where I found my true love!"

What a lovely story. I wish them well, many happy returns to you both. As for you folk's who said you are jealous....relax. God can't move the universe in your favor when your holding on to negative feelings. Take a deep breath and know that "mister perfect for you" is out there and getting ready to enter your life. I do, because after being widowed for so long.....I'm ready.

It is a very beautiful story. I just have to point out that it seems like all the love stories I have read are from people in other countries. Of course I hope all the best for them, and I don't want to take away from their love, but these people have very little in common with me. What are the statistics for someone like me meeting a nice guy on this site?

Coaching Testimonial
"My online love inspiration angel"
Submitted by: Patricia, USA, 21
To be honest, in the beginning, I thought it would be a waste of time. But since I've never seen a similar service in any other dating site, I decided to give it a try.
I always "thought" my profile was on point and I did not need any help to correct my page. I always had in my profile if someone is not attracted to my profile, then that's "their" loss.
I will never forget my first time using the Coaching Service I was introduced to my personal Dating Coach. Let me put it this way, if it was not for her I would have given up long time ago (even though I'm a new member).
She taught me so many things and gave me good advice, I did not want to stop chatting with her at all.
She opened my eyes to many possibilities when finding love. She is definitely an inspiration and I appreciate a whole lot. She is more than a Dating Coach to me; she is more of a close friend/guide to me. She is definitely my "online love-inspiration angel".

Field Hockey Falls to Washington
Saturday, October 6, 2012 - page 4
The Muhlenberg field hockey team had its three-game winning streak snapped with a 2-0 home loss to Washington.
The Shorewomen, who qualified for the Centennial Conference playoffs each of the last two years, broke a scoreless tie by scoring a goal with 10:21 left in the first half.
The Mules (7-4, 3-3) had several good chances to tie midway through the second half but could not find the back of the net, and Washington (6-5, 3-2) scored a deflating insurance goal with 10:30 to play in the game.
Senior Kristen Dornenburg made 11 saves in goal. Junior Ashley DeAngelis recorded a pair of defensive saves, pushing her season total to seven good for fourth on the Muhlenberg all-time list and sophomore Ray Gallagher (left) also had a defensive save.
Despite the loss, the Mules are still in the middle of a crowded pack of teams contending for playoff berths. After first-place Franklin & Marshall (6-0), Muhlenberg's opponent next Saturday, seven teams, including the Mules, have three wins apiece and are all separated by a half-game in the standings.

Twelve tourism companies from around the island of Ireland travelled to Great Britain recently, to join Tourism Ireland for a shopping centre promotion in Bristol, to raise awareness of Ireland as a fantastic holiday and short break destination.
The three-day promotion, in the busy Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol, targeted shoppers and potential holidaymakers, spreading the word about the many great things to see and do on holiday here, as well as the ease of access from Bristol to Ireland. It was also a wonderful opportunity to highlight 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' to British consumers and to encourage them to come here next year to sample some of the many festivals and events planned as part of 'The Gathering'.
Vanessa Markey, Tourism Ireland's head of Great Britain, said: "This type of promotion, where we talk directly to prospective holidaymakers in GB, provides us with an excellent opportunity to spread the word about all the great things to see and do on a holiday or short break in Ireland. It is an effective platform for our tourism partners from around Ireland to promote directly to consumers, helping to position Ireland as a 'must see' destination and grow visitor numbers for the rest of 2012 and beyond.
"The promotion was also an excellent opportunity to spread the word about 'The Gathering Ireland 2013'. This autumn, Tourism Ireland is rolling out a major programme of promotions in GB – and elsewhere around the world – to highlight 'The Gathering Ireland', telling people everywhere that 2013 is the perfect year to come home. We are extending an invitation to the tens of millions of people across the world who have ancestral links with Ireland to visit next year, as well as to the many others who feel connected by friendship, business or education and to those who simply hold an affection for what Ireland has given to the world."
Great Britain is our largest and most important tourism market, accounting for over 50% of all visitors from overseas. Back, l-r) Laura Pini, Select Hotels of Ireland; Andrea McEnery, Carlton Hotel Group; Sabina Murphy, Explore Ireland Tours; Annemaria O'Reilly, The Malton Hotel, Killarney; and (front) Colin Carroll, Killashee House Hotel, Naas, in the Cabot Circus shopping centre in Bristol.

Notes to Editors: • Tourism Ireland is the organisation responsible for promoting the island of Ireland overseas as a leading holiday destination. • Tourism is the island of Ireland's largest indigenous industry; responsible for in excess of 4% of GNP in the Republic of Ireland and employing approximately 200,000 people. • In 2011, approximately 7.3 million overseas visitors came to the island of Ireland (+4% on 2010), delivering revenue of approximately €3.4 billion. Overseas tourism business accounts for 59% of all tourism revenue. • Tourism Ireland's international website is www.discoverireland.com; there are 42 different websites, providing information in 14 different languages covering every continent. In 2011, discoverireland.com attracted almost 12 million unique visitors. • 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' will be Ireland's biggest ever tourism initiative and will consist of a year-long programme of festivals, events and gatherings in every part of the country. • Tourism Ireland has an extensive programme of promotions under way to highlight 'The Gathering Ireland 2013' around the world this autumn, working closely with the 'Gathering' project team.

Surveys: 10th Survey District
[Record group 90-10]
Agency Function
- Unavailable
- Agency History
- The 10th Survey District originally covered the entire Northeast Philadelphia (Ward 23). In 1868, its territory included the 23rd and part of the 25th Ward, the latter having been carved from the 23rd. In 1890, it was reduced to the 23rd Ward, north of Frankford Creek. In 1901, it was further reduced to cover the 23rd and 35th Wards from Frankford Creek to Cottman Avenue. In 1925, the area west of Castor Avenue was taken from it for the new 16th District. In 1929, it suffered yet another loss between Robbins and Cottman, east of Frankford Avenue. In 1932, it was returned to its 1901 boundaries. The 10th District was abolished in 1941. A new 10th District was created in 1948 to cover Southwest Philadelphia, south of Woodland Avenue and Warrington Avenue.

Chris Lane takes first-day lead in Elite Series season finale.
Idaho pro made miles matter to reach his annually-renewing goal - to never miss a Classic.
One mistake in the excitement of zeroing in on a school of big smallmouth could have cost Brandon Palaniuk his lead in the Evan Williams Bourbon Showdown.
Brandon Palaniuk busted one of the largest first-day bags of the Bassmaster Elite Series season on Thursday.
After three days of competition, Aaron Martens was just 7 ounces from victory in last year's Bassmaster Elite Series event on the Mississippi River. Now Martens gets to play out a similar scenario on the same river, and he's going for big bass in the same spot that put him in contention in 2012. And, oddly enough, once again 7 ounces plays into his game.
Mark Zona talks to Aaron Martens about taking the lead on Day Three.

Specificity / Sensitivity
Sox1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total Sox1 protein. It does not cross-react with endogenous levels of other Sox proteins, including Sox2 and Sox3.
Species Reactivity: Mouse, Rat Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: HumanSource / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues at the carboxy terminus of human Sox1. Antibodies are purified by Protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Sox (Sry-related box) genes encode a family of transcription factors that play a myriad of roles in developmental processes (1). Sox1 and Sox2 are the earliest markers that identify neuroectodermal tissue, and these markers, together with Sox9 collectively mark neuronal stem cells (NSC's) that are present in neurogenically active areas of the mature rodent brain (2). Sox1 has been found in the walls of the lateral ventricles and the dentate gyrus, as well as in inactive areas such as the cerebellum where it marks a population of cells in the Purkinje layer known as the Bergmann glia (2). Sox1 is thought to maintain the cell cycle and promote self renewal in NSCs, but also functions in other cell types to promote differentiation (3).

Natural History
Sea turtles travel far and wide, riding currents across the open ocean. Females return to the same beach each year, using magnetic clues as a map back home. Under the cover of darkness, the mother climbs onto the beach to lay close to 100 eggs each. She then buries them under a sandy blanket and returns to the sea.
After about two months the eggs hatch. On a mad dash for the sea, newly hatched sea turtles scurry to escape animals that want to eat them.
For turtles, shells are natural suits of armor that protect them from predators. Sea turtles can't draw their arms, legs and heads into their shells, but their large size and scaly, tough neck skin also help protect them from predators.
Over millions of years, the forelegs of sea turtles have changed to flipper-shaped blades, which help them "fly" through the water—sometimes as fast as 15 miles (24 km) per hour. Sea turtles use their hind feet as rudders.
Instead of teeth, these turtles have sharp beaks, which allow them to cut and tear their food. Sea turtles can drink sea water because they have glands near their eyes that remove excess salt.
Sea turtles face many threats, including loss of nesting beaches due to development, hunting, egg harvesting and pollution. They're also caught accidentally as bycatch, though the fishing industry has developed "turtle excluder devices," trap doors in shrimp nets that allow turtles to escape. The green sea turtle is on the red (endangered) list of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN).
But soon they'll face even bigger challenges. As oceans warm and sea levels rise, sea turtles will struggle to find enough food, mates and nesting beaches. And rising temperatures could also upset the balance of male and female turtles. Warmer eggs become females, while cooler eggs become males. If beaches get too warm, scientists worry there could be too many females—and not enough males to fertilize their eggs.
Cool Facts
Green sea turtles get their name from an internal layer of green fat.
Many islands around the world are known as "turtle islands" because they host nesting green sea turtles.
Green sea turtles can live to be 80 years old.
Sea turtles breathe oxygen, but can stay underwater for up to two hours before coming to the surface and taking one explosive breath.
Sea turtles rid themselves of excess salt through a "salt gland" near each eye, making them appear to be crying.
Turtles are reptiles, related to snakes, crocodiles and now-extinct dinosaurs.

Taylor Ranch is located in Albuquerque, New Mexico's north west side. It is bounded by the Rio Grande to the east, volcanic mesa to the west, Paseo del Norte to the north and Western Trail/Namaste to the south. Taylor Ranch Real Estate is affordable and many of the homes have southwestern amenities. The neighborhood association has been very active over the years. I still remember taking our 3 children to the annual Taylor Ranch easter egg hunt every year! The last real estate boom that ended about 2005 pushed home builders out into Paradise Hills and further North West, Prior to all the new building Taylor Ranch was "the" place to live on the mesa. There are lots of schools in the area and it is just up the road from Coors where all the great dining and nightlife you could wish for exists. The Petroglyph national Monument borders Taylor Ranch to the West.
No matter what brings you to Taylor Ranch, Rio Rancho, Paradise Hills, Bernalillo, or Albuquerque, NM - retirement, job or military relocation or just a love of the climate, sage and pinon scented southwest air, you will love New Mexico!
I am here online and in person to help make your transition to a new home a smooth one.

AQUASTOOL AquaStoolTM is a
multifunctional aqueous solution-based reagent for fecal sample stabilization, DNA and RNA
extraction, and PCR inhibitor removal. It may be
used to extract
fecal DNA for non-invasive genotyping of transgenic animals. Unlike
tail/toe/ear snipping, fecal sampling is not limited by animal age,
physiopathological condition, and sampling frequency. Fecal DNA is
particularly useful for verifying adult animals' genotype and
transgene stability. AquaStool may also be used to preserve and extract DNA/RNA from human stools for host and gut microbiota research. |
Features Multi-functionalities AquaStool combines the functions of specimen stabilization, DNA/RNA extraction, and PCR inhibitor removal in a single solution. Non-invasive genotyping AquaStool can be used to extract fecal DNA and enables noninvasive genotyping of transgenic animals and monitoring of wildlife animals. Recover host and microbial DNA and RNA in feces AquaStool extracts fecal DNA and RNA originated from the host, commensal bacteria, invasive viruses, fungi, or parasites, and incompletely digested foods, enabling the study of human and animal microbiome; diagnosis of bacterial, viral, fungal, and parasitic infections. Not only for extraction but also for specimen stabilization AquaStool may be used to collect fecal specimens in the field. It will stabilize the DNA/RNA and allow the shipping of the fecal samples to the laboratory at ambient temperature, therefore, streamline fecal sample collection, transport and DNA/RNA extraction with a single reagent. |
offer AquaStool for fecal DNA extraction and
AquaGenomic for tail DNA extraction. Here is a comparison of
the two methods.
Comparison of tail DNA and fecal DNA extraction
* AquaGenomic
(#2030) may also be used to extract fecal DNA from animal feces, where
fecal PCR inhibitors are removed with the AquaPrecipi solution (#3015).
If you are interested in mitochondrial DNA typing, we recommend the use
of AquaGenomic for fecal DNA extraction.
(Please refer to the Instruction Manual for fecal DNA/RNA extraction from human stool specimens.) AquaStool mouse fecal DNA extraction protocol 1. Collect the fecal sample Transfer a mouse to a cage floored with a clean paper towel. Scoop up a fecal pellet with a microfuge tube labeled with the animal ID (fecal pellets may be stored at RT for months after being air-dried by incubating in open tubes on a 37 °C heat bloc for 24 hrs). 2. Extract the DNA Add 150 ul AquaStool (30 ml in the kit for 200 extractions) to each fecal pellet. Soak the pellet until it becomes soften and vortex vigorously to homogenize the fecal material (if needed, use a pipette tip to break up the fecal pellet). For microbial DNA extraction, vortex the fecal material in the presence of white sand or homogenize it with a bead beater. 3. Remove the Debris Centrifuge the sample at 14,000 xg for 10 min to pellet the debris. 4. Pellet the DNA Transfer the supernatant (~90 ul) to a new 0.5-ml microfuge tube. Add 0.8 vol (~72 ul) of isopropanol and vortex to mix. Centrifuge at 14,000 xg for 5 min to pellet the DNA. Decant to discard the supernatant and rinse the DNA pellet with 70% ethanol twice. Suspend the DNA pellet in 100 ul of TE buffer or deionized water. Centrifuge again to pellet any insoluble material and transfer the DNA solution to a new tube (Note: It is critical to centrifuge the DNA solution again before adding it to a PCR reaction, as some insoluble material, which contain PCR inhibitors, may develop during storage.).AquaGenomic mouse fecal DNA extraction protocol

Released: Apr 01st, 1992
Running Time: 71
Director: Giovanni (I)
Company: Bedtime Theater
Peter North, Tianna Taylor, T.T. Boy, Tonisha Mills, Chelly, Sean Michaels, Saki, Kitten Natividad
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Feature
T.T. Boy is married to Tonisha Mills, but has fantasies about big-breasted, lovely, redheaded Tianna Taylor. Tianna is married to Peter North, but he's having an actual affair with Tonisha. T.T. and Peter are partners in a plumbing business which fixes the pipes at the local bordello. With a selection of characters like that, one wouldn't need too much imagination to come up with a passable tape, but director Giovanni has done much better than that.
Best of tape honors go to Taylor and Mills, who start out with a hot girl/girl session; then each proves she can be all a man needs, as T.T. has a dream love encounter with Tianna, after which Peter and Tonisha lust after each other so heatedly they can't even wait to get into her apartment before starting the foreplay. This tape is also notable for rare hardcore action by Kitten Natividad (as a hooker) and Saki's d.p. with Peter and T.T.. Nice production values plus good acting and hot sex make this an excellent choice.

First U.S. Supermarkets Launch Total Nutrition Scoring System
In a world of nutrition confusion, NuVal scores all foods to help consumers take charge of health
Price Chopper and Hy-Vee, two major supermarket chains located In the Northeast and the Midwest, respectively, are the first in the U.S. to feature the NuVal(TM) Nutritional Scoring System, a revolutionary program that distills complicated nutrition information into a single number.
Developed over a two-year period by Dr.
Using the NuVal system, consumers will:
- Easily discover the more nutritious products in a store. Consumers wanting to know what cereals (or crackers or cookies) have more nutrition only need to take a look at the NuVal scores and choose the higher number.
- Be able to "act like an expert," using the knowledge and research of more than a dozen of the country's best nutrition experts, who spent two years creating the ONQI (Overall Nutritional Quality Index), the scientific engine used to determine NuVal scores.
- Get more nutrition for their budget, as they can now compare items side-to-side and determine which product offers the better value, not just in price, but in nutrition as well. For instance, consumers may find that some varieties of frozen or canned vegetables score the same as fresh produce on the NuVal scale.
- Be able to better compare name brand to store brand products. In many instances, consumers will learn that a store's private label item is just as nutritious as the more expensive national one.
- Receive reliable, robust nutrition information, as all NuVal scores are determined from the data on a product's nutrition and ingredient labels.
"Dietary pattern is one of the true pillars of lifelong health, but as people attempt to eat healthier, they are confronted with food packaging and labels that are simply not enough to help them choose wisely. We must empower them to do so," said Dr. Katz. "That means objective, expert, at-a-glance guidance, a GPS system for the modern food supply."
In the past, several programs and initiatives have tried to guide consumers through the grocery aisles to healthier choices. But their icons and color-coded methods have been limited. Helping consumers eat more nutritiously requires a program that covers all foods, not only select items in certain categories in a limited number of stores. NuVal ranks all foods, giving consumers a more comprehensive idea on the nutritional value of all the products in their shopping cart.
"With NuVal, consumers can now receive reliable, easy-to-understand information on the food they buy at the best possible place and time–in the grocery aisle," said Dr. Katz. "These scores are based on the fundamentals of good nutrition and can be invaluable in eating healthier."
NuVal Scores can be found on the shelf tags at all 116 Price Chopper and 225 Hy-Vee supermarkets, with more grocery chains to come in 2009. Visitors to the NuVal website (www.nuval.com) can find sample scores in a variety of categories, such as cereal, salty snacks, crackers, pasta, and canned and frozen vegetables.
NuVal LLC President
"We're witnessing a whole new way of looking at what we eat," McDermott said. "As foods become more 'specialized' in addressing certain health concerns, it can sometimes be more challenging to find foods that are more nutritious overall. If a product is lower in fat but higher in sodium, is it more nutritious overall? Is it OK to choose one product over another if has fewer calories but also less fiber? With NuVal, consumers will find a clear, scientifically-backed system that will tell them how much nutrition a food has with a single number."
Using NuVal, consumers can easily find more nutritious alternatives in any category, whether it is cereal (Post Shredded Wheat, NuVal Score 91), seafood (Atlantic salmon, NuVal Score 87), or even cookies (Healthy Valley Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, NuVal Score 34).
NuVal can help keep consumers in their budget, as the system can identify which canned or frozen vegetables retain their overall nutrition. For instance, several varieties of Birds Eye frozen vegetables, such as cauliflower, chopped spinach and sugar snap peas received NuVal Scores of 100, the highest possible Score.
"When the method of preservation doesn't involve adding salt or other additives, their nutrient value remained the same as the fresh variety," Dr. Katz said. "The number of high-scoring canned vegetables is good news for family food budgets, as canned vegetables often are less expensive than fresh or frozen."
More About the NuVal System
The NuVal Nutritional Scoring System is powered by the Overall Nutritional Quality Index (ONQI(TM)), a patent-pending algorithm for measuring the nutritional quality of foods and beverages. Developed by an independent team of top nutrition and public health experts, the NuVal System scores foods and beverages based on more than 30 different nutrients and nutrition factors — everything from fiber and vitamins to fat and sodium.
"For decades, we've been conditioned to purchase foods based on only one or two factors, such as calories, fat, or carbs, without looking at the nutritional quality of the foods as a whole," Dr. Katz said. "With NuVal, all nutrients — those with generally positive and negative effects on health — are factored into our scores, so you can identify, at a glance, the items with higher overall nutritional value."
NuVal Scores can be found in participating grocery stores, where they are posted on shelf tags next to the product price and on in-store signage. In addition to Price Chopper and Hy-Vee, more leading U.S. retail chains will introduce the system to their customers in 2009. The ONQI algorithm was created independent of financing and influence from food and beverage manufacturers. Retailers interested in learning more about the NuVal System can contact NuVal LLC at firstname.lastname@example.com or (781) 228-5800.

1676: George Bromham and Dorothy Newman, on the Combe Gibbet
March 3rd, 2013 Headsman
On this date in 1676, the Combe Gibbet was put to its first and only use.
Adulterous lovers George Bromham (or Broomham) and Dorothy Newman had been doomed by the Winchester Assize for murdering the wife and son of Bromham's inconvenient marriage. "With a staff," the trial record says. Ouch.
The two were sentenced to hang together "in chaynes near the place of the murder," which demonstrative sentence required the erection of a brand-new purpose-built double gibbet just for the occasion, high atop Inkpen Beacon, the 975-foot hill overlooking the countryside.* After execution, they were taken down, laid out a nearby barn (inevitably to become known as "Gibbet Barn"), and then strapped back up on the double-gallows in chains for a few days.
Although this dreadful landmark has never been used again, it's stood ever since. Or, technically, a succession of different versions have stood, but the point is that there's still today a large, black execution device looming over scenic Berkshire. It's a nice place for a walk. (pdf)
When next in West Berkshire, top your visit to the Combe Gibbet with a refreshing Gibbet Ale at Inkpen Common's Crown and Garter Bed & Breakfast. (That's where the Gibbet Barn used to be.)
The murder behind the gibbet was the the subject of a student film called Black Legend in 1948 — the first movie made by future legendary director John Schlesinger.
* Bromham was from Combe, and Newman from neighboring Inkpen, and the murder itself took place on the towns' border. In the great tradition of municipal politics, there was a consequent dispute over the bill for setting up this gibbet; they were forced to split the bill.
Also on this date
- 1882: Bob Jones and Billy Miller, murderers on the open road
- 1522: Vicent Peris, of the Revolt of the Brotherhood
- 1865: Antone Richers, Galveston deserter
- Unspecified Year: Bigger Thomas
- 1955: Gerald Albert Gallego, like father like son
- 1323: Andrew Harclay, too chummy with the Scots
- 1999: Walter LaGrand, a German gassed in America

Dare to bare
No doubt you have been doing it for years now, but the 'dare to bare' roll-up is not something that I attempt on a regular basis. Not because I don't think it looks chic, clearly (uh uh) it does. No, the reason is more one of execution. You see, some people - those who are born with style in their blood - make it look so easy. These people are the same [annoying] few who can drape a jacket without looking like a helicopter, or casually wear their tee 'tucked/untucked' without it seeming overplayed. Well, let me tell you, I am not part of the club. And usually when I try to pull off 'the roll-up', I invariably end up looking like I'm just off clam fishing. So when it does work, the need to immortalise is very strong. Therefore I got the camera out and did just that. It was, to coin a nifty phrase, a one-off show-off. Toodles.
I'm wearing Zara skinny jeans and Zara Studio plexi heels.

Wow! I live that heels so much!
www.thefashioncuisine.comI absolutely love those shoes and I have to admit that I'm a fan of the roll-up look to the point where I tend to wear my jeans like that way more often than I should!

The first time I put these boots on to use they felt like i had been wearing them for a year. After a full day of tree cutting and trimming there was absolutely no discomfort. The are just perfect.That day using a power pole saw I cut a five inch branch from a cedar tree and instead of dropping down it rotated and came down butt-end first right on top of my arch. Because of the metatarsal shield I felt the shock of it hitting but no impact or pain. Not even a bruise but it did scratch the leather. AND they are UNION made in the US. Worth every penny.
