Wikisource talk:Proofread of the Month
Please help start a list of text that need to be proofread. Larger text are preferred because we hope to have a large group of people working on the text of the month. Here is a great place to start looking for text to be proofread.

January 2015[edit]
Starting a list of possibles Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:27, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- The Museum, a Manual of the Housing and Care of Art Collections (1917) by Margaret Talbot Jackson
- The Life Story of an Otter (1909) by J C Tregarthen
- I'd favor The Museum, as I seldom see works on this topic anywhere. --EncycloPetey (talk) 01:40, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- Let's start with the Otter and then move to The Museum. I'm reasonably confident we can get both done. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- LOL. At the rate we're starting off, Life Story of an Otter will be completed in just three days. --EncycloPetey (talk) 19:55, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- Is there a central page that makes it easy to tell who has worked on the source? WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- In the tools section on the left side of the page there is a link "related changes". Click that when you're on the Index and you'll see the last 50 edits. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 21:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)

- Some candidates (for validation)
- Index:Kirby Muxloe Castle near Leicester (1917).djvu (for validation)
- Index:The_Highway_Code_1931.djvu
- Index:St. Botolph's Priory, Colchester (1917).djvu (for validation)
ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 16:10, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
And one for proofread -
ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:27, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- In most months we're looking for new works to add rather than validate. The Shore Line Railway won't work because it's a pdf. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- But I added a text layer back in December precisely so it could be a PoTM if needed, Fair enough though.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:04, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- The PotM templates assume djvu extensions. As we can always get an OCR'd djvu file by conversion, I think that this is a reasonable requirement. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:14, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- But I added a text layer back in December precisely so it could be a PoTM if needed, Fair enough though.ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 13:04, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- In most months we're looking for new works to add rather than validate. The Shore Line Railway won't work because it's a pdf. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 20:12, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
- The source listed for "The Museum" notes - "Possible copyright status: The publication, and the images and texts within it, may be protected by copyright; use of such materials beyond fair use or other exceptions provided under applicable copyright law may violate the copyright laws of the United States and/or the laws of other countries. Permission from the appropriate copyright holder is required to publish or reproduce." Although I'm not sure why.. Best to consider an alternative until the status question is resolved by IA. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 15:43, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- This is standard text for the digitising source library and puts the onus on the downloader to ensure legality before use. However, it was published in 1917 in New York, so meets the pre-1923 requirement for PD-old. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 17:14, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
Further possibilities, to follow after the current options:
- Angelo's Bayonet Exercise (1853). This is a military training manual in use of the bayonet, as is still referenced by modern weapon enthusiasts. It is short (97 pp.), which makes it very doable.
- Child Life in Japan and Japanese Child Stories (1909) by Mrs. M. Chaplin Ayrton, with many nice illustrations.
--EncycloPetey (talk) 21:05, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
- I'd rather do the "Child Life", but I may be in the minority. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:34, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- The Bayonet Exercises work, needs a front sheet removing, otherwise I'd have already started on it 23:04, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
- Index:Child-life in Japan and Japanese child stories (Ayrton, Matilida Chaplin. , 1901).djvu, and I've already made a start on this. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 11:10, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
- Index:The museum, (Jackson, Marget Talbot, 1917).djvuShakespeareFan00 (talk) 00:43, 4 January 2015 (UTC)
- Child-life & The Museum are now already proofread, so will put them aside in the meantime. I've a couple of other works in the pipeline, that I'll post as they're needed. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
Other works if experiences contributors are interested (call it PoTM (Advanced level)[edit]
Index:The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, Volume I.pdf - PDF- Needs OCR Cleanup and math experience.. ShakespeareFan00 (talk)
February 2015[edit]
As it is the month for fiction, I would like to propose the following list of translated Bengali works:
- Nil Durpan (socio-political drama)
- The Poison Tree (social novel)
- Durgesa Nandini (historical romance novel)
Hrishikes (talk) 03:09, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- These are already proofread and just need validation. Usually we're looking for a work to take from un-proofread through to completed. However, let's see what others think. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 09:30, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- In that case, let me propose Srikanta (Part 1); it does not have any complicated formatting, is easy to work with, and is also an interesting read. Alternative: Kapalkundala. If you require a work in a still earlier stage, i.e., not yet added here, then proposed: The King of the Dark Chamber(1, 2, 3) by Tagore, which has a Gutenberg version, so, easy to proofread. Hrishikes (talk) 09:52, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
- I don't really want to do works that have already been proofread. I think those need to wait until next November or be used in a "validation swap" with another user. I think doing plays would be difficult for a PotM because every page would need formatting for the change in character and stage directions (which is a lot to ask for new-coming proofreaders). I would support the idea of Srikanta. Are there other parts of that work that haven't been uploaded, or at least other novels that we could use? We'd go through that work in about 5 days.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 14:08, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Srikanta is a four-part novel; the first part is most famous, PD translations of the other 3 parts I could not find. Non-PD complete translation has been published by Penguin (1, 2, 3), but that's not for here. Secondly, this may not take much time, but this is easy, therefore ideal for PotM. For the time factor, I added an alternative, Kapalkundala. More works can be proposed by others, I think, if there's more time, after finishing these two, if agreed upon. Lastly, about your newbie theory. I am also new here, joined only a few months ago, and my first work here was a play (Nil Durpan). Hrishikes (talk) 14:53, 16 December 2014 (UTC)
- Addendum: Proofreading completed for Kapalkundala. So nomination changed to Index:Kopal-Kundala.djvu. Therefore, as discussed above, current nominations from me are: 1. Srikanta Part 1 (info:w:Iti Srikanta), 2. Kopal-Kundala (info: w:Kapalkundala and w:Kapalkundala (1933 film)), 3. Index:The King of the Dark Chamber.djvu (info: w:Raja (play)). Hrishikes (talk) 15:46, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
- As I've said elsewhere, it's a problem that these files do not include a text layer. We're now experiencing technical problems with the OCR button that's supposed to appear in the edit window. If we can't get that fixed, then without a text layer, these files will not be good choices for PotM. We were lucky that someone created OCR pages for Kopal-Kundala before the OCR went buggy. --EncycloPetey (talk) 16:50, 8 February 2015 (UTC)
I've noticed that we have no complete, sourced works by James Joyce. There are two transcription projects underway that could be used for part of this month, though I wouldn't put either at the top of the list for PotM—they're more filler for the end of the month as needed, as both have been started:
- Index:1917 Dubliners by James Joyce.djvu
- Index:A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (Huebsch 1916).djvu
--EncycloPetey (talk) 21:01, 1 January 2015 (UTC)
March 2015[edit]
There is no category in this month, so lets take Index:Great Neapolitan Earthquake of 1857.djvu WeeJeeVee (talk) 15:40, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- selected If it goes well, we could look at locating volume 2 and doing that too. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:41, 28 February 2015 (UTC)
- Additionally proposed, if there is time:
#Index:Calcutta, Past and Present.djvu already done
- Index:Asoka - the Buddhist Emperor of India.djvu (series starter)
- Index:Proceedings of the Royal Society of London Vol 1.djvu (series starter)
Hrishikes (talk) 02:18, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- The first option has a flawed source file, so it isn't viable at this time. The third option would be too complicated for a PotM. Ideally, we want a selection simple enough that even newcomers could participate Formatting an academic journal volume is not likely to be a good choice. The last time we tried a highly technical volume we didn't come close to finishing it. The second selection is less than ideal in that it contains many transcriptions of Sanskrit words, which require careful attention to (and typing of) diacriticals unfamiliar to most English speakers outside of India. It might still be workable, but it will liekly be frustrating to many editors and will require an additional proofread by someone properly versed in recognizing which dots, dashes, and other little marks are missing. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:37, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- addendum: The second and third options appear to be missing their text layer, so we wouldn't use them for PotM. All selections should have a text layer that shows up in the edit window. Without this, we would have many additional problems, especially in light of the aforementioned Sanskrit transcriptions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:48, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- Index:Calcutta, Past and Present.djvu was patched, and I re-checked the page list. ShakespeareFan00 (talk) 19:05, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
April 2015[edit]
- Shelley's Queen Mab has been nominated before. This work may be ambitious for a PotM, but I thought I'd point out this early edition (1821) that pledged faithfulness to the original, while translating some of the Greek and French found in the notes. There is also this London edition from the same year. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:54, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Selected the London edition as the apparatus appears more complete (including original texts and translations). Beeswaxcandle (talk) 01:09, 29 March 2015 (UTC)
- I started on this version from The complete poetical works of Percy Bysshe Shelley, "Queen Mab", but feel free to start again from another source. - DutchTreat (talk) 00:48, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Also proposed: Ancient Ballads and Legends of Hindustan and A Sheaf Gleaned in French Fields, if there is time after doing Shelley. Hrishikes (talk) 01:40, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- We're close to finishing Queen Mab, so will need a second work. Sheaf doesn't have a text layer, so isn't a possibility. As a result we'll go with the Hindustan ballads. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 18:28, 11 April 2015 (UTC)
May 2015[edit]
- Index:Journal of a Voyage to Greenland, in the Year 1821.djvu - this is one of the items listed at the top of the page as previously nominated. It looks like it might be a good choice except that the pages all have "digitized by Google" watermarks. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:43, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- selected as the first work. I'm not sure what the big issue about the watermarks is, so am ignoring this bit. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- They've been removed, so it's no longer an issue. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- selected as the first work. I'm not sure what the big issue about the watermarks is, so am ignoring this bit. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- I am suggesting Burma by Herbert Thirkell White (transcription project). It was published as Volume 4 of the Provincial Geographies of India series edited by Thomas Henry Holland from the Cambridge University Press. We need more academic works and this may kick-start addition of the whole series to Wikisource. Solomon7968 (talk) 08:56, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
- Support. For our first selection, proofreading is complete. We need a new pick! --Siddhant (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, this can be next, but the first work needs finishing off. I know there's a problem with a couple of the plates, but there's still other pages that can be fixed. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:06, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Support. For our first selection, proofreading is complete. We need a new pick! --Siddhant (talk) 00:00, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- I'd like to suggest Index:Travels & discoveries in the Levant (1865) Vol. 1.djvu. I'm a bit buffled by the proposals procedure, so if i did it wrong please correct me. I started this book today. Ah3kal (talk) 11:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
- Prefer either the Greenland or Burma works mentioned above, based on the fact that to my eyes they deal with proportionally poorly covered areas in wikipedia, might be most easily used to improve that content, and our being able to show that our work can improve their content might be the best way to get new editors involved here. John Carter (talk) 18:51, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
- Can we take some text on Nepal? By the way, how do I search for books needing proofreading sorted by Geography? --Siddhant (talk) 04:38, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- We did Picturesque Nepal as a PotM a couple of years back. Try the various portals listed at this category as a jumping off point. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- Ah, ok. And here it is, for people looking for texts by Country: Portal:Texts by Country. --Siddhant (talk) 19:07, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
- We did Picturesque Nepal as a PotM a couple of years back. Try the various portals listed at this category as a jumping off point. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:42, 28 April 2015 (UTC)
June 2015[edit]
- How to Know the Ferns (1899), by Frances Theodora Parsons. A classic book with some nice illustrations, and one of the first popular fern manuals published for North America (if not actually the first). At only 262 pages, this book might not last the whole month. If we choose it, then we should have another ready. It's really a shame we don't yet have any works by this author. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:16, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- The North American sylva (1859), by François André Michaux. Contains many beautiful Illustrated, plates, most in color. 180 pages (260 imagecount pages) --Rochefoucauld (talk) 02:31, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- At around 700 pages of botanical text, that might be too ambitious for PotM. What you've linked is only Volume III. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:38, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Didn't notice that...never mined than. --Rochefoucauld (talk) 03:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- But vol. 1 is here: at archive.org. It has beautiful plates, indeed! Very good idea. Dick Bos (talk) 10:51, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- Didn't notice that...never mined than. --Rochefoucauld (talk) 03:37, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
- Another proposal: Index:Life Movements in Plants Vol 2.djvu. It is a classic of botany and biophysics, part of a body of works which proved that plants were living creatures because of having movements of life. Vol II has a Gutenberg version mentioned on the author page, which should make it easy to proofread. Hrishikes (talk) 09:56, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
- My proposal: Index:The Gall Wasp Genus Cynips.pdf by Alfred Kinsey, a great and voluminous study of gall wasps. I started it last year and had it done for nearly a half, but it was the easier half, consisting mostly of text. The remaining half contains many tables and images, so there's a lot of hard work to do. Nonexyst (talk) 21:33, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
- Proposal: Does Index:Descent of Man 1875.djvu by Charles Darwin fall under natural history? This is a very popular and important work. It seems to be halfway done. --Siddhant (talk) 14:24, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- OK, but it's really (biological) anthropology rather than natural history. That said, it is a key work and needs to be completed. If we select this for June then we should have a different topic for July. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 08:24, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Um, on second thoughts, there are many good online sources for this text. Do we really want to do this? What do you think? --Siddhant (talk) 00:32, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- My personal thinking on that issue in general is that we can't count on other online sources to continue to exist, or to continue to be available for free. Just look at Google News; one day it had extensive publicly available archives, the next day they were gone, replaced by pay services. BD2412 T 02:32, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ok, makes sense. But can't we at least use the text someone has already produced? Why proofread all over again? --Siddhant (talk) 03:02, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- And where's the fun inthat? :) Moondyne (talk) 03:34, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Looks like it's already been digitized electronically, you can grab the epub here. Although i'm very confused on the footnotes, poorly done. --Rochefoucauld (talk) 00:53, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

July 2015[edit]
- Not sure whether this fits, but how about: Zhuang Zi, an ancient Chinese text that is one of the two foundational works of Taoism. The Giles translation is our only copy and it has not been proofread. The work consists of short stories, allegories, and anecdotes, so it would be easy for a new editor to edit a whole "chapter" in a short time. There is also not much text per page, and the font is large and friendly. The only wrinkle is the presence of a few breves (e.g., ŭ) and macrons in some of the transliterated names. --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:31, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Is it a work on anthropology, as required for this month? Hrishikes (talk) 18:32, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, more or less it is. It is broadly "cultural anthropology," because most all of the so-called "social sciences" can be called that. I could certainly go with this, and, maybe, if it finishes early, maybe adding some other texts from volumes 39 and 40 of the Sacred Books of the East, or maybe just those two books themselves, John Carter (talk) 15:41, 9 March 2015 (UTC)
- Nothing to say about the category issue, but I'm glad to see this proposed here. I've read A. C. Graham's Chuang Tsu: the Inner Chapters which explains the significance of the book. Though traditionally ascribed to one author, it's actually a mess of different stories and wisdom from different philosophical schools. There's lots of reverence for Confucius and the Chinese Classics, but also irreverence and criticism and as EncycloPetey says it's a foundational book of Taoism along with the Lao Tse/Tao Te Ching. I'll help out with this whether it's PotM or not, but I'd be glad to see this prioritised by the community. MartinPoulter (talk) 13:29, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

- An anthropological proposal: Index:The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State.djvu. Info at w:The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State. As a filler later in the month: completion of Index:Descent of Man 1875.djvu. Hrishikes (talk) 06:57, 8 March 2015 (UTC)
August 2015[edit]
- Out of Due Time (1906) by Josephine Ward (Mrs. Wilfrid Ward). Mrs. Ward "was a member of England's leading Roman Catholic family and wife of the Catholic author, Wilfrid Ward." The novel "reflects the impact of religious and theological controversy [and] the unfolding crisis of Roman Catholic Modernism." (Abstracts: Amer. Acad. of Religion Society of Biblical Literature 1992, p. 113.) Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:06, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Looks interesting, but why did you choose the odd capitalization for the work? --EncycloPetey (talk) 20:11, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- You mean "Out of Due Time" as opposed to "Out of due time"? Just titling habits... Lots of work with poems... Londonjackbooks (talk) 20:23, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- Another: Index:The Kādambarī of Bāṇa.djvu, seventh century Sanskrit novel, translated by Caroline Mary Ridding. Hrishikes (talk) 17:44, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Wrong and Right Methods of Dealing with Social Evil by Elizabeth Blackwell. A rather short (though important at the time) essay on prostitution in England by Dr. Blackwell. The Haz talk 18:27, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
September 2015[edit]
- Index:My Climbs in the Alps and Caucasus.djvu, requested at Wikisource:Requested_texts#Mountain_books The Haz talk 01:22, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
October 2015[edit]
Proposed: Index:Panchatantra.djvu. It is w:Panchatantra (certainly the most frequently translated literary product of India, per Wikipedia) of w:Vishnu Sharma (one of the most widely translated non-religious authors in history, per Wikipedia), translated by Arthur William Ryder (whose work as a translator is probably the finest ever accomplished by an American, per Wikipedia). 1925 copyright, not renewed as per Stanford search. Hrishikes (talk) 16:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)
- Very very good choice. John Carter (talk) 19:26, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
- I'm reluctant to do two works of Indian fiction in translation in the same year. We could look at doing this one next year. Instead I propose Hunger, which is a Norwegian novel by the 1920 Nobel prize winner Knut Hamsun Beeswaxcandle (talk) 07:19, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- While I can understand that, I think that there is a bit of a difference between "Indian fiction," which I believe the first work clearly qualified as, and one of the most widely notable works in the history of writing, which, to an extent, the Panchatantra is. I wouldn't call Aesop's Fables an example of "Greek fiction," either. John Carter (talk) 15:23, 1 April 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks John. There is another point. The language is different. The first one was Bengali, this one is Sanskrit. Wikisources are language-specific domains, so works from different languages should fall in different categories for consideration here, and not clubbed together based on a geographical area. Hrishikes (talk) 02:45, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
- @Beeswaxcandle: I think the choice of Hunger is a good one. Sorry I missed it before. The Haz talk 23:04, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

Propose: Moll Flanders, a novel by Daniel Defoe. There is a Librivox recording that could go with it. The Haz talk 01:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)
- I also tend to agree that we should spread it around a bit geographically. BD2412 T 02:20, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
December 2015[edit]
- Proposed: Black's Law Dictionary (Second Edition). This is the last public domain version of this work, which continues to be the most widely used legal dictionary. Once completed, this work will serve as a cross-reference source for Wikipedia articles (demonstrating the historical meanings of the legal principles defined), and for Wikitionary entries. It is lengthy, and probably not doable by an editor working alone. Wiktionarians can be recruited to help. BD2412 T 18:31, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
- Good choice for the reasons above. John Carter (talk) 16:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)
- While I agree that this is an important work, the great length and the quantity of technical text squeezed onto each page make this a poor choice for monthly collaboration. Especially so in December, which is usually a slower month for member activity in PotM. --EncycloPetey (talk) 02:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
- Not a good choice for PotM. The style complexities would make it difficult to keep consistent across multiple editors. Also works requiring complex LST don't work well on PotM. This would be better as a WikiProject where consistency of style and transclusion can be ensured. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 04:56, 20 March 2015 (UTC)
Books parked for consideration[edit]
- Noting the list at the top of the page too
- Ireland and England in the past and at present (1919) written c. independence UToronto copy — billinghurst sDrewth
- How about Index:How They Succeeded.djvu? Looks pretty easy to proof, and is an interesting history of entrepreneurship in the US in the late 19th century. —Spangineer (háblame) 15:08, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
- I would be happy with this being in the rotation. It's medium length, but the typography is easy, so it should be doable to get it validated in a month.—Zhaladshar (Talk) 20:44, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- Amusements in Mathematics by Henry Ernest Dudeny. In an effort to find some popular public domain publications for inclusion here at WS, I found that the HTML version of this book is the most-downloaded text at the Internet Archive. Plus, someone has already gone to the trouble of extracting and cleaning the images [1]. There is a tiny amount of text cut off on pages 63-64, but the missing letters can be determined from context and from the Archive.org HTML version --Eliyak T·C 22:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've noticed that we're missing Samuel Johnson's The Lives of the Most Eminent English Poets. We have a scanty copy that was abandoned shortly after it was begun in 2006, with only two of the minor poet biographies included.
- Pros:
- (a) It's a key work of a great English writer;
- (b) Johnson's text will be fun to read;
- (c) It will add biographies of several writers.
- Cons:
- (a) It's in multiple volumes, so we might have to start with just the first one and see what transpires;
- (b) There will be many uses of long-s and the like;
- (c) We may not be able to get a first edition to work from, and I'm not sure that I could find a complete set of a single edition in IA.
Would a work of this sort ever be a good selection for PotM, and why or why not? --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:12, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
- EncycloPetey, I think the idea of finishing "abandoned books" is a very good idea. I am working on two of them now. If we all did this together we could finish them up quick and add them to our library here. THESE should be "Proofreads of the Month" instead of finding more before we have finished these sitting here.. —Maury (talk) 21:03, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Suggestion for Proofreads of the Month[edit]
Suggestion for Proofreads of the Month
I often see a banner that states: There are no works on Wikisource by this author. If you'd like to add a new text, please review Help:Adding texts. The 2nd one that I saw today was about a "British Naval surgeon, zoologist and palaeontologist." Why not consider placing at least one work of these Authors that have no works on en.WS? In this particular situation I came here to present this idea and this author, http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:George_Busk I read about this fellow when reading and marking "validated" in a work done by Billinghurst. I found a new work unlisted on an author page, via also a Billinghurst mention and a link Billinghurst left in his text that showed me a very good book to add. That was sometime yesterday and I don't recall the details as I type this but I can find it.
Back to the former, this way we can fill in some blanks where we have "Authors", and this particular fellow has an excellent article on en.WPedia plus there is a photograph to add to a completed-looking work. I do not believe we should have "Authors" without an authored works when we can change that situation by adding them as a proofread of the month. Kindest regards to all and a Happy November 2nd. Maury ( —William Maury Morris IITalk 11:45, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
Author:John Lloyd Stephens (listed on en WS)[edit]
Author:John Lloyd Stephens wrote several grand books and they are illustrated. Let us choose something a bit more exciting lest we have an *another* unfinished work. —Maury (talk) 18:40, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
The Book of the Homeless[edit]
The Book of the Homeless (index) was put together by American novelist Edith Wharton to raise money for homeless World War I refugees. She collected material from many of the best writers, artists and musicians of her time: Sarah Bernhardt, Rupert Brooke, Joseph Conrad, John Galsworthy, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, Igor Stravinsky, William Butler Yeats, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Auguste Rodin, and so on. Also Theodore Roosevelt.
I have got what I wanted out of this — a Henry James essay not available elsewhere — and won't be finishing it off. But it struck me that this is an interesting short work that is likely to provide challenges to a broad cross-section of us: there's prose and poetry to be transcribed, including some in French, many images to be restored, and several musical scores to be transcribed.
In short, if you guys are ever looking for an interesting and challenging short work to proof, I commend this one to you.
Hesperian 03:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- Good candidate for our January quirky books month. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 03:12, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hesperian & Beeswaxcandle, 11 November 1918 is when World War I. ended and therefore it could be a good book for that same month of November 2013. Kindest regards, —Maury (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- It could certainly be a good book for November. However, isn't November a validation month? An alternative could be to keep it for January, as Beeswaxcandle said, or maybe for August (double purpose: Wharton died in August, and a book by a female author is required. —Clockery Fairfield (talk·contribs) 11:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
- Hesperian & Beeswaxcandle, 11 November 1918 is when World War I. ended and therefore it could be a good book for that same month of November 2013. Kindest regards, —Maury (talk) 03:35, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
2015 update: This book is nearly proofread though, as only a few images and pages remain to be done. Then, the book can be included as a November selection for validation (if it isn't validation before that time). --EncycloPetey (talk) 21:42, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
The Tale of Old Mortality[edit]
We don't have Walter Scott's The Tale of Old Mortality, which shocked me. Actually, we have very few works by him at all, despite his stature as an English writer, but The Tale of Old Mortality (or simply Old Mortality) is considered one of his best novels, and is a pretty high-profile English novel for us to be missing. --EncycloPetey (talk) 17:39, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- EncycloPetey, what is the url for the version you have found? I wish to look at it. —Maury (talk) 22:16, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
- Well, to clarify first off (if you didn't know), Old Mortality is one in a series of loosely associated novels collected under the title Tales of My Landlord, though each is an independent story and novel. Of the first four volumes that make up "series 1", volumes 2 through 4 are Old Mortality (volume 1 is a separate story entitled The Black Dwarf). So, here then are the first edition (1816) volumes: Vol. II, Vol. III, Vol. IV. --EncycloPetey (talk) 00:57, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
A dictionary of the Book of Mormon[edit]
I would like to nominate Index:A dictionary of the Book of Mormon.pdf. So far as I can tell, it is one of the few available "reference" type works on the Book of Mormon, thus making it one of the few available which give easier access to that work. John Carter (talk) 15:40, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- From a technical persepective, a better scan would be needed. The Google scans from that period are quite bad. It also needs to be in DjVu format. Beeswaxcandle (talk) 23:31, 5 July 2014 (UTC)
- See IA for the .DjVu if still interested. I just replaced the PDF from there onto Commons and the quality is far better now. -- George Orwell III (talk) 07:46, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
- It really isn't that long a work, and I could probably do the proofread solo if need be. Unfortunately, I'm enough of a tech illiterate that I've never really uploaded anything properly. John Carter (talk) 19:41, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Perhaps you could email the text to a volunteer who would upload it. Oh, I am not that volunteer, just an idea girl passing by for other purposes (see new section below)! Hope this helps, Geekdiva (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
- There are two copies on Hathi, one from Harvard and the other from NY Public Library. I can upload either or both of these (in DjVu) if this is still something we want. The Haz talk 18:34, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry, I missed the one comment about it being uploaded. The Haz talk 18:39, 13 April 2015 (UTC)
- Perhaps you could email the text to a volunteer who would upload it. Oh, I am not that volunteer, just an idea girl passing by for other purposes (see new section below)! Hope this helps, Geekdiva (talk) 09:32, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

32 year old woman | Boca Raton, FL, USA | Seeking men 29-38 within 30 miles
Genuine girl with a non-South Florida mentality!
Hard workin' girl from Jacksonville, FL with a slight southern charm. I love my career and strive to keep moving up with the company I am employed with. I am not a typical SOFLA girl. I am independent and have had no plastic surgery (not bashing it) . From my observations and stories I've heard, I would have to speculate that I am not a really a materialistic girl (still a girl so I like my shoes) nor a "golddigger". I have no problem buying a guy a drink, I feel bad for men down here because I see and hear about what is out there, haha! My parents taught me to work hard and appreciate everything and everyone. However, I do enjoy my weekends. I like gettting dressed up and putting on some high heels (I am 5'3, so its nice to not feel like a munchkin sometimes) but I am not the girl that has to be at a restaurant or perched up at a bar every night drinking her face off. I love my DVR and movie nights also! I'm always up for trying new things or going new places, life is too short to always say, "Maybe Later". Im very down to earth, pretty sarcastic and love making people laugh. South Florida has some of the best people watching ever! What I am looking for is someone that is just as devoted to his career as well, I admire a hard working man. Looking for a very fun, very real relationship with a guy nothing too smothering because thats just not me. We all have our own lives (thats why you like the person) and I feel like that should never be a pressure point in a relationship. The rest all comes in time. If you've made it through reading this much of my profile then obviously I have not written too many run on sentences to bore you. Message or wink if you want! Ciao!!

Sustainable Dining - Skidmore Community Garden
Dining Services in partnership with the Skidmore Community Garden
In April 2009, the volunteers from the Environmental Action Club, with the support of Facilities Services, broke ground to create the Skidmore College Student Garden. In 2014, there was an opportunity to bring the garden to a more central, visible location on campus. Students, staff, and faculty, and administration worked together to find a suitable location for the new garden and chose Wiecking Green. The new location is more accessible, highly visible, and invites everyone to enter and enjoy the space. During this planning process, the group decided to change the name of the garden to the Skidmore Community Garden, representative of the collaborative process and inclusivity that the garden's mission strives to achieve. Students, staff, faculty, and other community members are always welcome to enjoy the garden space as a place for rest, reflection, fun, and learning.
The garden supplies local food, grown using organic practices, to Skidmore's dining hall. It facilitates a connection to, and appreciation for, the food that we eat in the Dining Hall and offers hands-on learning opportunities for the Skidmore community. The garden provides an outlet for community members interested in environmental issues, social justice, and economic sustainable development to learn about the local food movement and the ecology of food. In its first season the garden produced over 1,100 lbs of food and the the students hosted a "harvest dinner" that served over 150 students food that was either produced by the student garden or donated by The Saratoga Farmer's Market. Please click here to learn more about the beginnings of the Skidmore Student Garden.
2014 Season - Volunteers broke ground on the new Skidmore Community Garden in April, and began shaping beds and planting seeds soon after. The season continues to be successful, not only growing healthy crops but engaging community members. Multiple work parties throughout the summer brought faculty, staff, and students together, and campus visitors continuously visited to ask questions. We expect the garden to continue growing into the fall semester, where more students will have an opportunity to enjoy the space.

'A Holiday Celebration' at Las Brisas in SH
The Las Brisas 1 Community Center at the affordable housing community in Signal Hill provided a bevy of food, toys and activities for children during the 2012 Holiday Season Community Celebration on Tuesday Dec. 18.
Each child in attendance got a chance to meet Santa Claus (Mel Pinkham, a successful businessman, former child entertainer and local legend) and receive a gift. Each resident household member received a raffle ticket and was eligible for gifts and prizes.
Hundreds of toys were donated to the event by the Las Brisas community, the American University of Health Sciences and Knights of Pythias Youth Camp, according to Imani Bradley-Camacho, services coordinator for the Las Brisas community housing.
The event also included music, arts and crafts presentations, and a holiday feast.
"This is an important thing for [the center] to bond the community together and teach the children that there's a better part of life," said Pinkham, a member of the Long Beach-Lakewood Knights of Pythias, a charitable organization that promotes "friendship, charity and benevolence."

Teresa Miller, 54, reflects on the community she's found on the street corners in the southeast Newport News community. Miller, who was an alcoholic 33 years ago, says she values the conversation and company at intersections like 32nd Street and Jefferson Avenue. She says she appreciates a new effort by Newport News Police to stop by the street corners and provide resources for substance abuse treatment and job placement. "I've seen a lot of people that used to hang on this corner perish just from boredom, loneliness, alcoholism, drug abuse, and it's like, where did everybody go?"

Tropical Cheesecake.
|Honey graham crackers
|10 Ounce, crushed into crumbs (2 Packages, 5 Ounce Each)
|Butter/3/4 of a stick of butter
|6 Tablespoon, melted
|1 Ounce (1 Heaping Tablespoon)
|Pineapple rings
|1⁄2 Can (5 oz)
|Sour cream
|8 Ounce
|Cream cheese
|16 Ounce (That Is Two 8 Ounce Blocks Of Cream Cheese, At Room Temp Or Softened In The Microwave.)
|3⁄4 Cup (12 tbs)
|Vanilla extract
|1 Tablespoon (Vanilla Flavoring)
|Pineapple flavoring
|1 Tablespoon
|Chocolate frosting
|1 Can (10 oz) (You May Use Milk Chocolate)
|2 Teaspoon (Cherry Or Orange)
|Shredded coconut
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
Mix the graham cracker crumbs with the sugar after which mix with the butter. Press in the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Remember to spray pan with non-stick spray or grease with butter and dust with flour to keep the cake from sticking. Put pan with just the crust into the oven at 325 for 10-15 minutes. Place pineapple rings on top of crust after you remove it from the oven. Beat eggs for about 2 minutes or until they are thick and a lite yellow color. Mix in 3/4 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon vanilla. Set aside for now. Beat the cream cheese until smooth. Blend in the sour cream. Blend in 1 tablespoon of pineapple flavoring. Blend in the egg mixture. Pour into pan on top of the pineapple rings. Bake in oven at 325 for 35-45 minutes. Chill in fridge for 5-24 hours. Warm the chocolate frosting in microwave, just enough to soften it. Mix either cherry or orange flavoring into the frosting. Frost the cake and sprinkle some shredded coconut on top. Enjoy!

The "random bird die-off" trend (which wasn't even really a trend) is so over, but the ghastly scene in Gramercy Park on Sunday seems to be a much different kind of mystery anyway. Local residents believe the dozens of dead or disoriented baby finches found in the park have something to do not with eccentric weather patterns, but with Aldon James, the "eccentric president" of the adjacent National Arts Club. James, who keeps exotic birds as pets in his mansion and calls himself the "Bird Man of Gramercy Park," happened to buy 50 finches from a breeder last week. After showing a Daily News reporter thirteen of them on Monday, James "said the rest were upstairs, but would not allow the reporter to see them," which is totally not suspicious at all.

Barrier-to-autointegration factor is a cellular protein that protects retroviral DNA from autointegration. Its cellular role is not well understood, but genetic studies show that it is essential and depletion or knockout results in lethal nuclear defects. In addition to binding DNA, BAF interacts with the LEM domain, a domain shared among a family of lamin-associated polypeptides. BAF has also been reported to interact with several other viral and cellular proteins suggesting that these interactions may be functionally relevant. We find that, contrary to previous reports, BAF does not interact with HIV-1 MA, cone-rod homeobox (Crx) or MAN1-C. The reported interactions can be explained by indirect association through DNA binding and are unlikely to be biologically relevant. A mutation that causes a premature aging syndrome lies on the previously reported MAN1-C binding surface of BAF. The absence of direct binding of BAF to MAN1-C eliminates disruption of this interaction as the cause of the premature aging phenotype.
Barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF/BANF1) is cellular protein that was identified as a factor that blocks autointegration of retroviral DNA [1]. The role of BAF for the host cell is not well understood, but knockdown by siRNA or genetic knockout results in a lethal phenotype that exhibits defects in nuclear morphology and division [2]–[5]. BAF is a dimer in solution and the structure of the dimer has been determined by NMR and X-ray crystallography [6], [7]. Each subunit of the dimer binds double stranded DNA non-specifically and BAF therefore bridges together double stranded DNA molecules [8]; DNA binding does not induce any conformational changes in the BAF dimer. At high DNA concentration bridging results in intermolecular aggregation. At low DNA concentration, intramolecular bridging results in compaction of DNA. BAF induced compaction of DNA molecules can be visualized by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) [9]. DNA stretched out by buffer flow condenses into a tight ball upon addition of BAF. We hypothesize that such condensation of retroviral DNA by BAF in the cytoplasm makes it refractory to autointegration. BAF also interacts with the LEM domain [10], a domain that is shared among Lamin-Associated Polypeptides, Emerin, and Man-1, proteins [11]. An NMR structure of BAF in complex with the LEM domain of Emerin reveals that that the BAF dimer binds a single LEM domain [12]. Thus BAF potentially forms complexes in which the dimer is associated with a single LEM domain protein. Since each BAF dimer binds only one LEM domain, each complex contains only one of the LEM domain proteins and each may differ in their functional properties. BAF is the primary substrate for phosphorylation by vaccinia-related kinase 1 (VRK1) [13], [14]. Vrk1 phoshorylates N-terminal residues of BAF and phosphorylated BAF no longer binds DNA. Although the interaction of BAF with DNA and the LEM domain is well understood, much remains to be learned concerning the essential role of BAF for the cell.
In addition to interacting with DNA and the LEM domain, BAF has been reported to interact with other cellular and viral proteins. These include HIV-1 matrix (MA) [15], cone-rod homeobox (Crx) [16] and the C-terminal domain of MAN-1 (MAN1-C) [17]. We sought to probe the structural basis of these interactions in order to better understand the higher order complexes that BAF may form in the cell. Contrary to the previous reports, we found that none of the above proteins interact with BAF. The reported interactions are likely mediated through DNA binding. Since any two DNA binding proteins can indirectly interact through DNA, we conclude that evidence does not support functionally relevant interaction between BAF and MA, Crx, or MAN1-C.
We used 2D 1H-15N heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) spectroscopy to monitor interactions between BAF and its putative binding partners by NMR. In general, each cross-peak in the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum corresponds to one amino acid in the 15N-labeled protein. Changes in local environment caused by altered conformation or interaction with other proteins shift or alter the intensity of related cross-peaks. The HSQC spectrum therefore represents a fingerprint of the system and can be used to map binding interfaces. Figure 1 shows the changes in the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of LEM domains upon interaction with BAF. Figure 1A shows the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of the LEM domain of Emerin. Upon incubation with BAF there are major changes in many of the peaks corresponding to residues that interact with BAF (Figure 1B). Comparison of the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of the 15N-labeled LEM domain of MAN1 (Figure 1C) with the same domain bound to BAF (Figure 1D) also reveals considerable differences.
We initially set out to probe the interaction surfaces of BAF and HIV-1 MA by NMR. Figure 2A shows the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of 15N-labeled MA. To our surprise, addition of BAF to the MA sample did not result in any changes in the spectrum even at the protein concentrations used for the NMR measurements. We conclude that BAF and MA do not directly interact. Then how might the previously reported interactions [15] be explained? BAF and MA both bind DNA and we propose the protein preparations contained sufficient DNA to allow an apparent interaction between BAF and MA through DNA binding. Consistent with this interpretation, the low micromolar range reported apparent affinity of MA for BAF is similar to the affinity of MA for DNA [18]. BAF binds DNA more tightly and DNA condensation can present a kinetic barrier to dissociation [9]. In our hands, both BAF and MA tend to co-purify with DNA and extensive washing of columns at high ionic strength is required to remove all traces of DNA during purification. Some of the previously reported experiments [15], [17] were also carried out with BAF synthesized in an in vitro coupled transcription/translation system and this protein will have contained carried over template plasmid DNA. As expected, when DNA is added to the mixture of BAF and MA the spectrum radically changes (Figure 2C). We note that the number of cross-peaks is greatly diminished in contrast with addition of DNA to MA, alone which shifts and broadens a subset of peaks without reducing their number [19]. The DNA used for this experiment was a 16 mer duplex oligonucleotide which demonstrates that BAF and MA can simultaneously bind to very short DNAs.
Many of the proteins reported to interact with BAF are DNA binding proteins. We therefore decided to reexamine their binding in light of our experience with HIV-1 MA. Cone-rod homeobox (Crx) protein is a transcription factor that was identified as a BAF interacting protein in a yeast two-hybrid screen [16]. Co-immunopreciptation and pull-down assays supported the conclusion that BAF and Crx interact directly. Figure 3A and 3B show the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum of 15N labeled Crx in the absence and presence of BAF, respectively. The spectra are identical, unambiguously indicating that BAF and Crx do not interact directly. Addition of a 16 mer duplex DNA to the Crx results in a shift of a subset of the cross-peaks as expected for binding of DNA by Crx (Figure 3C, compare the spectrum in the presence of DNA (black) with the superimposed spectrum in the absence of DNA (red)). Addition of both DNA and BAF to Crx results in disappearance of most of the cross-peaks (Figure 3D), indicative of the formation of large complexes of Crx, BAF and DNA.
MAN1 is an inner nuclear membrane protein that contains a LEM domain near its N-terminus that binds BAF. The C-terminal domain of MAN1 (MAN1-C) has been reported to independently bind BAF [17] in addition to the transcription factors GCL and Btf. We labeled MAN1-C with 15N and recorded the 1H-15N HSQC spectrum (Figure 4A). Addition of BAF to the MAN1-C resulted in no significant change in the spectrum (Figure 4B) demonstrating that these proteins do not interact directly. Interestingly we find that MAN1-C binds DNA (Figure 4C). Addition of DNA and BAF to MAN1-C results in additional disappearance and shifts in peaks demonstrating that BAF and MAN1-C form a large complex with DNA, although BAF and MAN1-C do not interact directly.
To confirm that DNA contamination can confound the interpretation of pull-down assays for protein-protein interactions we carried out such an assay for BAF and MA interaction in the absence and presence of DNA. His-tagged BAF was bound to a Ni chelating sepharose column. MA was then added to the column in the absence or presence of DNA. After extensive washing BAF was eluted with imidazole. In the absence of DNA only BAF eluted from the column (Figure 5, lane 2). However, in the presence of DNA, MA co-eluted with the BAF (lanes 3 and 4).
The mutation of Ala12Thr in BAF has been identified as the cause of a human Hereditary Progeroid Syndrome [20]. Ala12 is surface exposed but does not map to either the DNA or LEM domain binding surfaces of BAF, so the effects of this mutation are unlikely to involve disruption of DNA or LEM domain binding. It was proposed that the mutation might affect the interaction of BAF with other proteins, its subcellular localization or stability [20]. Indeed Ala12 lies on the surface of BAF that was implicated in binding MAN1-C [17] and disruption of the MAN1-C/BAF interaction would have been a reasonable candidate for the primary effect of the mutation. Our finding that MAN1-C does not interact with BAF eliminates this model. Although we cannot ignore the possibility that Ala12Thr disrupts an interaction with a factor yet to be identified, the reduced abundance of BAF in the mutant cells [20] suggests a primary effect on protein stability.
Pull-down assays and co-immunoprecipitation are commonly used to screen for protein-protein interactions because of their simplicity and convenience. However putative interactions identified by such assays need to be confirmed and substantiated by more direct biochemical and biophysical methods. We conclude that, contrary to previous reports, BAF does not interact with HIV-1 MA, Crx, or MAN1-C.
Human BAF and the LEM domains from MAN1 (residues 1–52) and Emerin (residues 1–47) were cloned and purified as described [12]. MA was purified as described [19].
MAN1-C (residue 650–911) was subcloned into a modified pET-32a vector [12] to form a thioredoxin fusion protein with a His6 tag and expressed in Escherichia coli strain BL21(DE3) (Novagen). The construct was verified by DNA sequencing. E. coli transformed with the MAN1-C vector were grown in minimal medium with 15NH4Cl and glucose as the nitrogen and carbon sources, respectively. Cells were induced with 1 mM isopropyl D-thiogalactopyranoside at A600 1.0, and harvested by centrifugation 3 h following induction. After harvesting, the cell pellet was resuspended in 50 ml (per liter of culture) of 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4, 1 M NaCl, 10 mM imidazole, and 1 mM phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride. The suspension was lysed by two passages through a microfluidizer and centrifuged at 10,000× g for 40 min. The supernatant fraction was loaded onto a HisTrap HP column (5 ml per 2 liters of culture; GE Healthcare) equilibrated with 1 M NaCl, 10 mM imidazole, 20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 10% glycerol, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol, and the column was extensively washed with equilibration buffer. The fusion protein was eluted with a 100 ml gradient of imidazole (25–500 mM) in the same buffer. The protein was then dialyzed against 20 mM Tris pH 7.5, 200 mM NaCl, and digested with thrombin (10 NIH units/mg of protein) for 2 hr at room temperature. Thrombin was then removed by passage over a benzamidine sepharose column. The cleaved His6-thioredoxin was removed by loading the digested proteins over a HisTrap HP column. MAN1-C was further purified by gel filtration on Sephadex-75 gel filtration column (GE Healthcare) equilibrated with 25 mM potassium phosphate pH 6.5, 150 mM NaCl, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol.
pGEX-4T-2 GST expression vector encoding the Crx homeodomain (residues 34–107) plus five N-terminal and nine C-terminal flanking amino acid residues was a gift from Dr. Shiming Chen (Washington University in St. Louis), and was expressed in the E. coli strain BL21(DE3) the same way as described for MAN1-C above. Cells were lysed the same way as described for MAN1-C above except that the buffer was 50 mM Tris pH 7.4 containing 0.5 M NaCl. Before eluting the GST fusion protein from the glutathione Sepharose 4B, the column was washed with at least 20 column volumes phosphate buffered saline (PBS) plus 0.5 M NaCl until no DNA was present in the eluate. Protein fractions eluted with 50 mM Tris pH 8 containing 10 mM reduced glutathione were pooled together and dialyzed against 4L 50 mM Tris pH 7.5 containing 0.5 M NaCl and 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol. The GST fusion tag was removed by digestion with thrombin and the Crx homeodomain was separated by gel filtration on a Sephadex-75 gel column equilibrated with 25 mM potassium phosphate pH 6.5 containing 150 mM NaCl and 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol.
Protein samples for NMR contained 25 mM potassium phosphate pH 6.5, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol in 95% H2O and 5% D2O with different salt concentrations. Salt concentrations were 200 mM NaCl for free LEM domains, LEM domain complexes, Crx, Crx/BAF and Crx/BAF/DNA complexes. The salt concentration was 150 mM NaCl for MAN1-C, MAN1-C/BAF and MAN-1C-/BAF/DNA complexes. DNA used for all NMR experiments was a 16 mer DNA duplex (5′ CCAGCACAAACACCTG and its complement).
1H-15N HSQC spectra were recorded at 27°C on Bruker DRX500 and DRX600 spectrometers equipped with triple resonance Z gradient cryoprobes. Spectra were processed using the program NMRPIPE [21], and analyzed using the program PIPP [22]. For the LEM domains of Emerin and MAN-1, 1H-15N HSQC spectra were collected on samples of 50 µM free 15N labeled LEM domain and 50 µM LEM domains plus either 100 µM (50 µM in dimer form) unlabeled BAF or 400 µM unlabeled BAF. For MAN1-C, spectra were collected on samples of 50 µM free 15N labeled MAN1-C, 50 µM 15N labeled MAN1-C plus 50 µM BAF2 or 200 µM BAF2 and 50 µM 15N labeled MAN1-C plus 50 µM unlabeled BAF2 and 50 µM 16 mer DNA. For Crx, spectra were collected on samples of 30 µM 15N labeled Crx, 30 µM Crx plus 30 µM or 200 µM unlabeled BAF2 and 30 µM 15N labeled Crx plus 30 µM BAF2 and 30 µM 16 mer DNA.
Pull-down assays were performed on a 150 µl Ni chelating sepharose columns equilibrated with 50 mM NaCl, 20 mM Hepes pH 7.5, 20 mM imidazole, 2 mM 2-mercaptoethanol (binding buffer). 50 µl of 0.3 µg/µl BAF was then applied in binding buffer. The column was then washed three times, each with 200 µl of binding buffer. 50 µl sonicated salmon sperm DNA (0.02 or 0.06 µg/µl) was then applied (when indicated) and the washing step was repeated. 50 µl of 0.15 µg/µl MA was then applied in binding buffer and the washing step was repeated. Finally, BAF was eluted with 70 µl 1 M imidazole pH 7.5. Proteins were electrophoresed in a 4–12% Bis Tris NuPAGE gel (Invitrogen) and stained with Coomassie.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook has been captured in bronze for future generations of basketball fans. Staples Center unveiled a nearly 16-foot-tall statue of the top scorer in NBA history Friday night, immortalizing Jabbar's famed hook shot alongside statues of fellow Los Angeles Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Jerry West. Abdul-Jabbar pronounced himself humbled and grateful during a ceremony attended by numerous NBA greats ranging from Johnson and Pat Riley to West and Elgin Baylor - and even Lakers superfan Jack Nicholson. Abdul-Jabbar is depicted in his signature goggles and the standard 1980s short-shorts below his No. 33 jersey. Hundreds of cheering fans gathered under threatening rainclouds to honor Abdul-Jabbar, who says he's grateful everyone could enjoy the statue before the pigeons get to it.

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees made history Sunday night by throwing a 40-yard touchdown pass to Devery Henderson, snapping Johnny Unitas' record for consecutive games with a touchdown pass.
Brees has thrown a touchdown pass in 48 consecutive games.
Unitas' record of 47 stood for 52 years, setting the mark from 1956-60.
Joe Unitas was in the stands Sunday night at the Superdome to watch Brees break his father's record.
"My father always said that records were meant to be broken," Joe said in a letter to Brees earlier this month.

In 1615, when Samuel Champlain visited the Huron, they were at war with the Iroquois. The long-standing enmity between the Huron and the Iroquois reached a climax in 1648, when the Iroquois, armed with Dutch firearms, invaded Huronia and subsequently disrupted (1649) the Huron confederacy. It was at this time that Father Jean de Brébeuf, who established (1626) a Roman Catholic mission among the Huron, and other Jesuit missionaries were killed by the Iroquois. The survivors of the Huron fled in all directions—southwest to the Tobacco Nation, south to the Neutral Nation, southeast to the Erie, and northeast to a French fort near Quebec. The implacable Iroquois hunted the Huron everywhere; in 1649 the Iroquois attacked the Tobacco Nation, causing the migration of these people in company with the Huron. In 1650 the Neutral Nation was invaded by the Iroquois and practically wiped out, and in 1656 the Erie were almost exterminated.
The Huron who had fled to Quebec ultimately received a small reservation at Lorette, where many still live, but the remnants of the Huron and Tobacco Nation went, under pressure from the Iroquois, first to Michigan, then to Wisconsin and Illinois, where the Sioux attacked them. The Tobacco Nation and Huron eventually settled (1750) in villages near Detroit and at Sandusky, Ohio. In Ohio they became known to the British as the Wyandot and as such fought with the British against the Americans in both the American Revolution and the War of 1812. After the War of 1812 possession of their lands was confirmed by the United States, but by 1842 they had sold their tracts and moved to what is now Wyandotte co., Kans. In 1867 they were settled in NE Oklahoma, where they reside as citizens, their tribe having been terminated in 1959. There were some 2,500 Wyandot in the United States in 1990. About 1,500 Huron live in Canada.
See B. G. Trigger, The Huron Farmers of the North (1969).

You pay for both legs
That would work, I usually go the G-van route when I'm selling a bike and am splitting costs with the new guy cause there's always the chance the bike will be sitting in Salt Spray on the barge and stew at the docks for a while before it's picked up. If it's mine I make sure I pick it up right away and give it a good bath.
Since there's no direct service between Hilo and Maui Young Brothers charges you close double when go that route or Hilo to Kauai since everything gets cross loaded in Honolulu. Why not buy a bike on the Big Island and when you get tired of riding here ship it elsewhere?
There's a hell of a lot more riding here so it'll be a bit before you burn out, a serious trailbike (KTM, Husky, CRF-X. WR-F) with a plate will keep you entertained for years over here.
It's the Most F5orite Time of the Year!!!

A group consists of a base set $G$ and an operation $\ast : G\to G$, such that
- $(a \ast b) \ast c = a \ast (b\ast c)$ for all $a,b,c\in G$ (associative law)
- There is a neutral element $e\in G$ with $e\ast a = a\ast e = a$ for all $a\in G$
- For each element $a\in G$ there is an inverse element $a'$ such that $a\ast a' = a'\ast a = e$.
If additionally the commutative law $a \ast b = b\ast a$ for all $a,b\in G$ is satisfied, the group is called abelian or commutative.
The neutral element and the inverse elements are always uniquely determined.
There are two main variants for the notation:
- In multiplicative notation, the operation is denoted by $a\cdot b$ or just $ab$, the neutral element is often denoted by $1$, and the inverse element of an $a\in G$ is denoted by $a^{-1}$.
- For abelian groups often additive notation is used. Here, the operation is denoted by $a + b$, the neutral element by $0$ and the inverse element of $a\in G$ by $-a$.
Group theory can also be seen as the mathematical theory of symmetries.
The historical roots of group theory include the study of symmetries of geometrical objects like the Platonic solids, and the study of roots of polynomial equations originated by Evariste Galois.

Getting the Kids to School Without a Struggle
Respectful families continued...
It all starts, says Hart, with building relationships based on trust instead of fear. "With kids, even young kids, your question should be, 'How do we work this out for everyone?' -- sort of a simplified win-win. And when kids see that their needs matter, then they relax and you can negotiate."
Working together, Hart says, parents and children can come up with solutions: whether it's one more minute in bed or wearing the favorite pink pants on alternate days. The key is respecting yourself, your differences, and your efforts. As Hartman says, "Our differences can be a source of struggle -- or not."
Morning routine tips
Still, some age-old, get-out-the-door tips still apply -- especially the "plan ahead" one.
A school-day morning actually starts the night before. Being able to predict and understand what's coming up helps children feel in control. "Lay out clothes, plan what you're having for breakfast," Hodson says. "Talk through anything that has been a struggle in the past."
And remember that whatever way you handle the morning routine, it's setting a model for your children. "At the core of all of this is: What our kids see us doing with them is what they're going to do with their own lives -- we're modeling," says Hodson. "Parents must be willing to reflect on their behavior and adapt. That's the key to finding a respectful way to parent."
