- The Postal Service has promised one approach to shrinking its continuing losses. Keep cutting jobs. Postal's 2011 financial plan calls for elimination of 50 million work hours, or about 25,000 jobs. The agency has already cut 105,000 full time jobs since 2009. Even so, next year's plan, approved by the Postal Board of Governors, calls for losses of $6.4 billion. Last week, the Postal Service reported 2010 losses of $8.4 billion. GovExec reports, Chief Financial Officer Joseph Corbett is predicting growth in mail volume next year. He says the Postal Service will have to handle it with fewer people.
- They're back! Congress begins its "lame-duck" session today. Bush-era tax cuts will likely take the spotlight. But they'll also tackle decisions about government spending. Right now, agencies are running on a continuing resolution that expires on December 3rd. It's uncertain whether they'll pass catch-all omnibus for the remainder of the fiscal year or approve all spending bills individually.
- Workers at the Transportation Security Administration have received the right to vote on exclusive union representation. The Federal Labor Relations Authority has accepted a petition from two labor groups for an election. The groups are the American Federation of Government Employees and the National Treasury Employees union. FLRA has yet to set a timeline for the vote.
- The top democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform committee is fighting to remain in that panel's leadership. New York Congressman Edolphus Towns says he wants to become the committee's ranking member in the next Congress. Towns is the current chairman, but he'll lose that spot in January when Republicans get the House majority. Published reports say that Towns has already begun lobbying his colleagues to support his bid.
- The danger in being a Social Security judge is growing. Threats from people angry at being denied benefits are up by 18 percent over the past year. Data from the Association of Administrative Law judges shows, the threats are getting more elaborate. Some claimants are threatening to kill judges' families. One in New Mexico promised to shoot up a Social Security office. Another in Oregon vowed to join the Taliban. In all, 80 threats were logged over the past 12 months.
- The Supreme Court will not stop the military from enforcing its ban on gays serving openly -- at least for now. The request came from the Log Cabin Republicans -- the same group that filed suit in lower courts to throw out "don't ask, don't tell." That suit is currently pending in a federal appeals court. The Obama administration and several lawmakers are supporting a repeal by Congress instead of the courts.
- The House Homeland Security Committee, soon to be dominated by Republicans, will focus on the Secure Border Initiative. They will demand a plan from the Obama administration for fixing the stalled SBI-net project. NextGov reports, the high-tech, virtual fence along the Mexican border is on hold while the Homeland Security Department figures out what to do with it. Awarded to Boeing in 2006, SBInet has been plagued with performance problems, lateness, and cost overruns. Peter King of New York is expected to chair the Homeland Security Committee. He promises to press for a concrete plan for securing the border.
- NASA has awarded a $251 million contract for multimedia. The deal with DB Consulting Group of Silver Spring will support Johnson Space Center in Houston. DB will provide video for future space mission and create content for NASA's web sites and TV channels. Services under the contract also include operation of NASA's video and still image libraries. The three-year base contract has two, one year options.
- Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano defends the extra security screening, including the more thorough pat downs and full-body scans. In a column written for USA Today, Napolitano says that the nation's best defense against threats like the attempted Christmas Day bombing and the thwarted cargo plane bombs is a layered security approach. She says that means in addition to partnerships with law enforcement and private industry, the American people have a role to play. Napolitano is asking for the nation's patience and cooperation as DHS expedites the deployment of Advanced Imaging Technology units at airports. Those are the full-body scans that can see what's under your clothes. She says they're also putting new technology in place to screen more cargo.

Kate Bush says she's 'deeply honoured' after receiving CBE in Queen's New Year honours
Bradley Wiggins is also knighted...
The singer, who released the 10th studio album of her celebrated career '50 Words For Snow' in 2011, was given the accolade for her services to music.
Bush shot to fame in 1978 when her single 'Wuthering Heights' hit Number One in the UK Singles Chart and has since gone on to release a slew of classic albums including 'The Kick Inside', 'Hounds Of Love', 'The Red Shoes', 'The Sensual World' and 'Aerial'.
Although her output was prolific in the late 70s and throughout the rest of the 80s, she spent a large time out of the public eye with a 12-year gap between 1993's 'Red Shoes' and 2005's 'Aerial'. She then took another six-year break before releasing two albums - '50 Words For Snow' and 'Director's Cut' - in 2011.
Speaking about the accolade, she said:
It's a great surprise and I'm really delighted. Thanks to everyone who's encouraged and supported my work over the years.
Elsewhere on the list, meanwhile, cycling champion Bradley Wiggins was awarded a knighthood after winning the Tour de France and Olympic gold in 2012. Wiggins has become well known for his Mod style and love of indie music. A few days after his Olympics victory, Wiggins and fellow gold medallist Jessica Ennis turned out for a surprise London show by The Stone Roses, while he recently revealed that he gave guitarist John Squire a signed Tour de France jersey before one of the band's reunion gigs this summer.
Other noted figures in the arts and entertainment industry to be included on the New Year's Honours list include illustrator Quentin Blake, actor Ewan McGregor and artist Tracy Emin.

Looking to laugh
I'm a Midwest boy with a southern accent not quite sure how that happened. I'm looking for someone that is not always depressed. I love the outdoors. I enjoy scuba diving, hunting, fishing, golf and other boy things. I also love to cook and I rock at it. I really like art and crafty things. I like dogs a lot but currently work too much to care for one properly. I am not good with technology I don't know an ipad from an iPhone. I look forward to having some fun and enjoying life a little more. This is my first time trying an online site and I have no clue how to date so please be forgiving if I come across as a goof (which by the way I am) I have a great sense of humor. I see laughter in everything. If thats not something for you then I am the wrong choice. I like music but don't love it. Which is obvious because I like country. Classic rock suits me well also. I am very detail oriented in real life but im not going to check my punctuation in this profile. However I will notice the color of your eyeliner and what brand nail polish u prefer. I figure if u took the time to pick it out its my job to notice. If u didnt pick any thats great too. Im not afraid to say what im thinking even if I embarrass myself , in fact I kinda like being embarrased. So if you would like to hang out and embarass me or have fun drop me a line.

Three troopers were injured Tuesday when guerrillas attacked a paramilitary camp in Jammu and Kashmir's Baramulla district on the eve of polling to the Baramulla Lok Sabha seat, police said.
A senior police officer said here that militants attacked Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) camp in Sopore town of Baramulla district, 54 km from here, Tuesday evening.
"Militants fired at the CRPF camp located in the State Bank of India building in Sopore town today evening. Three CRPF personnel have been injured in the attack. An operation has been launched to trace the militants," the officer said.
The attack has come less than 12 hours before the north Kashmir Baramulla Lok Sabha seat goes to vote Wednesday.
Earlier Tuesday, militants hurled a petrol bomb at a school building in Watergam village of Baramulla district.

Grey's Anatomy Recap: "Go It Alone"
April 17th, 2014
After 10 seasons of hard work, it seemed like Cristina Yang was poised to get the recognition that the brilliant doctor so rightly deserved. Alas, during Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, Cristina fell short of winning the Harper Avery, but she at least saw that she has the support of her person Meredith and her ex-whatever Owen.
As Cristina prepares to head to Boston for the awards, Owen offers to attend with her, but she decides she wants to go it alone. Meredith is also supposed to help write her speech, but gets stuck at the hospital, so Cris decides to wing it instead. Later, once she finally arrives at the ceremony, Cristina realizes she made a mistake not letting Meredith and Owen tag along. Fortunately, they secretly came to support her! Unfortunately, Cristina doesn't win.
Back at the hospital, Derek is getting overwhelmed by his work with the White House. Because he's been neglecting the interns, he invites them to pull an all-nighter and watch one of his procedures — all except for Ben, who falls asleep. During the surgery, Leah messes up pretty massively, though the patient survives.
Elsewhere, Alex has been moonlighting at the private practice job while he's still working at Grey Sloan, but he hasn't had the guts to tell Arizona, whose date night with Callie gets interrupted when Derek enlists them to watch baby Bailey and Zola. Said date night now includes Callie and Arizona flipping a coin over who gets to carry their next child. Alex finally comes clean to the last of the original Fab Five during the all-nighter. Please tell me that wasn't the last scene between Mer, Cris and Alex!
Speaking of children, a deaf child patient makes April and Jackson confront how they will raise their potential babies when it comes to faith. She then shows up at Callie and Arizona's door, asking for a place to stay. Ruh-roh.
Were you surprised that Cristina did not win the Harper Avery? Do you think April and Jackson will break up? Did it seem like Meredith considered taking a step back when it comes to work so Derek could thrive?
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9/8c on ABC.

WATCH THE AUDIENCE'S COMMENTS about this film when it played at the WILDsound Film Festival.
Paul Bellini, veteran writer and Emmy Award winner, did a good job moderating WILDsound's July Film Festival. Our crowd also had a lot of great things to say as the filmmakers took in a full circle of comments about their films. It was a little more judgmental than what WILDsound usually gets, but that's the magic of the festival. Each event is as different as the last.

Kuwaiti lessor ALAFCO has firmed its tentative deal for 30 Airbus A320neo jets and added 20 more to the order.
It is complementing the firm deal for 50 of the twinjets with 30 options, to be finalised by the end of the year.
ALAFCO chief Ahmad Al Zabin signed the agreement during the Dubai air show.
The lessor has previously ordered 26 A320s, of which 25 have been delivered.
Airbus values the firm part of the deal at $4.6 billion at list prices.
ALAFCO sealed a tentative order for 30 A320neos at the Paris air show.
No engine selection for the aircraft was disclosed. The A320neo is available with the Pratt & Whitney PW1100G or the CFM International Leap-1A.
Al Zabin described the twinjet as an "absolute must-have" for the Kuwaiti company's fleet.
The lessor also has 18 Airbus A350-900s on order but has been cutting back on its Boeing 787 backlog with transfers of the orders to Saudi Arabian Airlines and Oman Air.
Al Zabin said that, at the time of the 787 orders in 2006-07, the company planned to be a "strategic partner" to Boeing in the area.
He said: "Whatever is to the benefit of Boeing and ALAFCO, we'll just do it."
Al Zabin said that ALAFCO was satisfied with its narrowbody and mid-sized portfolio and did not intend to move into the high-capacity sector. He ruled out the acquisition of types such as the Airbus A380.

Students Getting Free Lunch
We have two students that attend CAM. They've had very good if not excellent teachers. The atmosphere is unlike any school you'll likely see. The students work diligently in class and aren't easily distracted. Their focus is definitively academic, allowing them to pursue whatever interests them artistically or physically outside of school or Wednesday. There is a religious element to it, in that there seems to be many nonsecular students there. I believe the word is out at the private Christian schools, that this is the place to send your child for a less expensive education. Both of my kids are aware of this and the Christian kids are respectful at school in keeping their opinions private. Parent involvement is what you'd expect at such an academically rigorous school. I would only suggest this school to parents that have children that are focused and self motivated, for others this may be an unpleasant experience. This is a great school if you know what to expect.
Amazing school in mediocre school district! This school is a gem in the rough! The teachers are the best of the best & the staff keeps the parents very informed. The schedule is unique & won't work for every family. The students have to fulfill their art & PE outside of CAM. The students are expected to be respectful & responsible & there is no tolerance for misbehavior whatsoever. Children who care about their education flourish here! The workload is not as bad as we expected but the children need to stay on track or they could quickly fall behind. My only small complaint is that there is a large percentage of students who are there because they are religious & there is some talk about religion among the students. BUT there are plenty of other students who are secular & are there to learn & not concerned with others' religion or lack thereof. I think a lot of parents think CAM is a safe place for Christian children to not be exposed to the 'real' world but as a totally secular parent, I see it as an education opportunity. WE LOVE CAM & the staff!!!
The teachers really enjoy teaching, my daughter loves it.
I've attended CAM since 6th grade and am now a Junior. My older brother has also atteneded CAM from 7th grade until he graduated (we were also involved in Homelink from Kindergarten until we started CAM), so my family and myself are very familiar with the school. I would not describe CAM as well rounded simply because their goals for the school and its students are extremely focused in specific areas. I found the main benifit of this to be that students have the tools and are presented with the ability to succeed. Academically I trust CAM, believe they do excell the norm, and although it was difficult I am glad I have attended CAM because I feel well prepared for college. Socially, however, it cam be difficult if a person does not fit the standard. Students are always kind to new commers and the teachers are great.
I went to CAM and graduated in '08 and I can't think of a better place to go to school! I loved every minute of it, even as I fought hard to keep my grades up to the high standards they expect there. It's an exceptional school that I was extremely lucky to have attended. The focus on character and application of education in the real world makes for a well rounded and enjoyable education. I loved the teachers and my class as though they were my second family and I miss it! Check into it and ask about the amazing senior east coast trip! No better school. -N
I love CAM! Our children have really excelled in their program, and it's definitely great preparation for college and just being successful in life. The teachers really care for the students and want to see them succeed.
Our daughter went to CAM last year for 5th. grade and is now in 6th. grade at CAM. We have been overly impressed with every aspect of the school. The teachers are amazing and truly care about the students. Our daughter has learned more in her time at CAM more than any other year and she feels safe to learn and develop close friends because of the consitent expectations and follow through of the teachers, staff, and principal. The teachers have high expectations but at the same time they are very warm and available to help the students do their best and learn. The learning is made to be exciting because there is a lot of hands on verses just 'busy work'. The principal, Coleen Oneal, has just been amazing. Our daughter had a problem with a boy last year and Coleen was kind, consistent, and proactive. We love CAM!
No extracurricular activities. Social circles are limited, forcing children to spend time with people who they would not normally enjoy spending time with. Bad influences are unescapable in such a small school.
This school is wonderful for families who want to be able to have a strong hand in their child's education. All fine arts/physical education credits are expected to be gained outside of school hours. School is focused only on the academics of your children. The program is college prep and requires 4 years of math, science, english and history to graduate. If you have a child that is able to handle more difficult academic regimen and is involved in outside activities that would count for credit. ex. piano lessons, tennis, karate etc. This is the place for you. Test scores are always in the highest brackets of Washington State.
This school really depressed my child. She had no social life, because she did not really enjoy the company of the students because they were so focused in their schoolwork. My child had B+'s and A-'s, and of course she strived for A's, but what all the other students wanted was 4.0. This school is not my opinion as an academic sanctuary. Think twice before sending your child there, unless you would like your child to strive for a 4.0 all their life and have friends and family second.
My daughter and son left this school and went to a new school this year. The leadership was unneceptable and the teahcers didn't seem to care about the students success. No a school I would want any child to go to.
I have a son and a daughter that have been attending CAM for four years now, and we all love it. It's a great school in all aspects. The teachers are wonderful, the students are well-mannered and very smart, and the overall atmosphere is great. Though the school does not receive much money, the staff knows how to spend it wisely via many ways. Parents, if you are tired of the horrors of regular public school and want your kids to have a bright future, this is an ideal school for you and your family.
CAM Jr High had very strong academics which is what attracted us to the school. With exception with English. It was strong in 6th grade although fell short in 7th & 8th. There are many options for PE and other extracurricular activities you just need to be creative. I love the fact that they had Wednesday's to catch up with homework or explore other interests such as art and sports. We recently moved to TX. We shopped for the best school district we could find. They told us most students struggle to make it when they move into their district we chose because they are so strong academically. Our student is doing well and has been placed in advance courses. I believe a combination of a parent partnership of home-schooling and Cam Jr High are the reasons for our students success. I would strongly recommend CAM Jr. High.
My child attended CAM Jr for 2 years and found it to be a very positive experience. The teachers are strong but the largest advantage over other schools is the quality of the students. Students have to test to qualify for admission and overall are a group of well-behaved students which makes the learning environment better than other schools in the area. My child had to work hard for A's at this school! It is a good school for a student who wants a strong academic environment. It is not the right place for a student who wants to participate in PE, band, or other elective subjects. The only subjects taught at CAM are core academic courses.
This is a truly 'outstanding' school. Academic expectations are high. Student character and morale is also high. The teaching staff is outstanding and extremely responsive to parental input. As a parent, 'you' are able to provide leadership for your child's education and your input and involvement in Jr. Cam is welcome and expected. Students take Wednesday off for extracurricular activities which are the responsibility of the parent. There are several after-school activities available for students'. This is the best school I have seen in southwest Washington and I wouldn't have my child anywhere else.
This is not your typical public school. First, you have to get tested and pass to be accepted. The academic standard is very high. You must maintain a certain GPA to continue to attend. Second, the teacheing staff is second to none. They are genuinely concerned about the well being of your child. They make learning an adventure not a chore. I have been very impressed with all the staff. Finally, the school does not offer any extra curricular activities, but you know this going into it. The kids have Wednesdays off of classes to pursue outside activities. They must maintain a log that shows that they are involved in extra curricular things. I feel that our children are getting a very well rounded education at Cam.
Horrible leadership...no extra-curricular activities

In a first, UK arrests Nepal Army colonel
KATHMANDU, JAN 04 - Reacting strongly against impunity in Nepal, the United Kingdom on Thursday arrested a Nepal Army officer over allegations of torture committed during the decade-long Maoist insurgency.
The 46-year old officer, whose name was not released by Scotland Yard, was arrested at home in St Leonard's-on-Sea near Hastings on the southern English coast, at 0719 GMT, according to a statement released by the British Metropolitan Police.
The Nepali Embassy in London communicated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kathmandu on Thursday night that the individual was Col Kumar Lama, currently a military observer in Southern Sudan, who was on a vacation in the United Kingdom.
This is the first time a Nepali official involved in conflict-era crimes has been arrested abroad under the universal jurisdiction of international criminal law. Following investigations, the colonel will face trial in a British court, according to sources.
The officer was taken to a police station in Sussex where he remains in custody. The officer has been arrested under British law, which allows prosecutors to act against people suspected of torture anywhere in the world. The investigation is being led by the Counter Terrorism Command, responsible for investigating alleged war crimes and human rights abuses.
Confirming the arrest, a British Embassy Spokesperson in Kathmandu said the case was taken up by the police as per the UK's universal jurisdiction over serious international crimes, including torture.
"He has been arrested on suspicion of torture as per section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988," said the spokesperson. The British police communicated the arrest to the Nepali mission in the UK, but had not instantly given the name of the individual, said a Nepal Embassy official in London over telephone.
Col Lama was the head of the then Royal Nepal Army's Gorusinghe Barracks in Kapilbastu during 2005 and is accused of torturing a detainee there.
"The tortures at Shivadal Battalion were unbearable. There, I was blindfolded, my hands were tied up and I was put on the ground. They only used to lift my blindfold when they gave me food
or when I went to the toilet," a victim from the barracks was quoted in a report prepared by the Advocacy Forum in 2006 as saying.
The Advocacy Forum and the UK-based firm Hickman and Rose had drawn the attention of the UK government to the torture suspect residing in the UK. "I am delighted and relieved to hear that the officer who was involved in torturing me has been finally arrested. I trust the British system will deliver justice; something I was not able to get in my
own country," the two organisations quoted the victim as saying in a joint statement issued on Thursday evening.
Nepal Army sources said Lama faced court-martial for hiding weapons during a battle with the Maoist rebels. Lama had travelled to the UK two weeks ago to meet his wife, who works as a staff nurse and lives in St Leonards-on-Sea. If the suspect is prosecuted for a torture offence, this will be the second such case in the UK since the law came into force in 1988. The first case in July 2005 resulted in a 20-year jail sentence for a former Afghan warlord hiding in south London.
In Kathmandu, Nepal Army Spokesman Brig Gen Suresh Sharma was not available for comments despite repeated attempts. A senior Army official, however, condemned the move, saying that the laws of the home country and not the country where the NA colonel was travelling apply to conflict-era cases.
"Everybody is turning a blind eye to the Maoists withdrawing outstanding cases of murder and other criminal acts against their cadres. The UK's action is unacceptable," said the general in Kathmandu.
Former Legal Department Chief of the Nepal Army BA Kumar Sharma said the UK government had "overstepped its jurisdiction in detaining an individual of a sovereign country on unfounded allegations."
"British soldiers have tortured many individuals in the Great World Wars. If they can detain our people, why can't we detain theirs when they are here-all on the basis of allegations," said retired Maj Gen Sharma.
He said the UK government should allow the individual to return to Nepal and face charges according to domestic laws.
The British Embassy in Kathmandu had earlier refused to entertain a visa application of IGP Kuber Singh Rana, saying that he has outstanding human rights violation charges.

Co-expression of several target genes in E. coli is advantageous for studying protein complexes; the expression of protein complexes can also sometimes help to increase the solubility of expressed protein in E. coli. However, there are some obstacles to co-expression, such as different replication origin requirements and different antibiotic resistance markers for selection. Here, the Duet™ Expression System from Novagen (part of Merck4Bioscoences) satisfies all the requirements for multiple target gene expression.
Each Duet vector has compatible replicons and antibiotic resistance markers as shown in the example below. All of the Duet vectors have T7 promoters for expression of target genes by IPTG induction; each Duet vector is designed to co-express two target proteins in E. coli. Novagen provides 5 different types of Duet vectors. The compatible replicons and antibiotic resistance genes are also designed to allow for effective propagation and maintenance of four different plasmids in a single E. coli cell. pETDuet-1 carries the ColE1 replicon and bla gene for ampicillin resistance, pACYCDuet-1 carries the P15A replicon and cat gene for chloramphenicol resistance, and pCDFDuet-1 carries the CloDF13 replicon and aadA gene for streptomycin/spectinomycin resistance. Two kanamycin-resistant Duet vectors are available: pRSFDuet-1 carries the RSF1030 replicon and pCOLADuet-1 carries the ColA replicon. Each vector carries two expression units each controlled by a T7 lac promoter for high-level protein expression. By combination of 4 of those Duet vectors, 8 different proteins could be expressed in a single E. colicell.
For a better understanding of the Duet system, let's look at one of them. pETDuet-1 is designed for the co-expression of two target genes; this vector includes two multiple cloning sites (MCS). Each MCS has a T7 promoter, lac operator and ribosome binding site for the expression of the target gene. The promoter is followed by the ribosome binding site and MCS. The pETDuet-1 vector can be transformed into the same cell with pCDFDuet-1, pACYCDuet-1, pRSFDuet-1 and/or pCOLADuet-1 in the appropriate host strain for the co-expression of up to 8 target genes. However, host strain compatibility should be considered for good expression.
Genes inserted into MCS-1 can be sequenced using the pETUpstream primer and DuetDOWN primer. Genes inserted into MCS-2 can be sequenced by using the DuetUP2 primer and T7 terminator primer. Each Duet vector also provides His•Tag® and S•Tag™ sequences for detection and purification of protein complexes. Each tag can be removed by adding a stop codon at the end of the target gene sequence in order to get an un-fused native protein.
One of my target proteins had very low solubility and I had previously experienced difficulties purifying it using his-tag. But by adding a known binding partner in pETDuet-1, I could co-express the two proteins and perform the purification by increasing the solubility of my target protein. In my experiment, my target protein had the his-tag for the purification but the binding partner did not have any tag. By using Ni-NTA, I co-purified the binding partner and target protein as they made a complex in E. coli. Please note that although I only expressed two different proteins in my experiment, theoretically, we could express 8 different proteins in this system.
It is very easy to generate protein complexes by using this system. It is also a very useful and efficient tool for purification and structure studies.
This system is very useful to study the structure of protein complexs. By using different replicons and antibiotic resistance genes, several different target genes can be expressed in the same <i>E. coli</i> cell.
