Description of Research ExpertiseDescription of Research:
Dr. Black's laboratory is interested in how particular proteins direct accurate chromosome segregation at mitosis. In humans, the chromosomal element—the centromere—that directs this process is not defined by a particular DNA sequence. Rather, the location of the centromere is dictated by an epigenetic mark generated by one or more resident proteins. These centromeric proteins interact directly with the DNA to create a specialized chromatin compartment that is distinct from any other part of the chromosome. By taking biophysical, biochemical, and cell biological approaches, our work is to define the composition and physical characteristics of the protein and protein/DNA complexes that epigenetically mark the location of the centromere on the chromosome. This work involves building centromeric chromatin from its component parts for analysis of its physical characteristics, developing biochemical assays to reconstitute steps in the process of establishing and maintaining the epigenetic mark, and using cell-based approaches to study the behavior of proteins involved in centromere inheritance and other essential aspects related to chromosome segregation at cell division.

GOP must compromise
In response to Pat Kirk's recent letter, the first objective of proponents of any political ideology is to get elected. If policy A is something you fervently believe in, but is unpopular with the electorate you fail to attain that crucial first step, and will have diminishing impact. However if you are willing to work with the other side and make a small step towards policy A, you are not abandoning your principles – you are being pragmatic. If policy A is good for the country, it will become more evident after a small step in that direction. An all-or-nothing approach causes huge partisan divides and polarization that cannot be breached and policy A will never be achieved. Sticking to their political principles and not compromising is the death knell for the GOP.

Baby Beet Tarte Tatin from 'River Cottage Veg'
This savory tarte tatin is the first recipe I bookmarked when I got my copy of River Cottage Veg and the dish I most anticipated cooking and eating. Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's take on the French dessert is the perfect example of the wonders of vegetable cookery. Beets—the candy of the vegetable world—are excellent in the role of apples in this tart. Paired with buttery puff pastry and pungent shallot-parsley vinaigrette, they are sweet and savory all at once. Each bite is a treat. More

- 13C-direct detected NMR experiments for the sequential J-based resonance assignment of RNA oligonucleotides (2010)
- We present here a set of 13C-direct detected NMR experiments to facilitate the resonance assignment of RNA oligonucleotides. Three experiments have been developed: (1) the (H)CC-TOCSY-experiment utilizing a virtual decoupling scheme to assign the intraresidual ribose 13C-spins, (2) the (H)CPC-experiment that correlates each phosphorus with the C40 nuclei of adjacent nucleotides via J(C,P) couplings and (3) the (H)CPC-CCH-TOCSY-experiment that correlates the phosphorus nuclei with the respective C10,H10 ribose signals. The experiments were applied to two RNA hairpin structures. The current set of 13C-direct detected experiments allows direct and unambiguous assignment of the majority of the hetero nuclei and the identification of the individual ribose moieties following their sequential assignment. Thus, 13C-direct detected NMR methods constitute useful complements to the conventional 1H-detected approach for the resonance assignment of oligonucleotides that is often hindered by the limited chemical shift dispersion. The developed methods can also be applied to large deuterated RNAs. Keywords: NMR spectroscopy , Direct carbon , detection , RNA
- Structure and dynamics of the deoxyguanosine-sensing riboswitch studied by NMR-spectroscopy (2011)
- The mfl-riboswitch regulates expression of ribonucleotide reductase subunit in Mesoplasma florum by binding to 2´-deoxyguanosine and thereby promoting transcription termination. We characterized the structure of the ligand-bound aptamer domain by NMR spectroscopy and compared the mfl-aptamer to the aptamer domain of the closely related purine-sensing riboswitches. We show that the mfl-aptamer accommodates the extra 2´-deoxyribose unit of the ligand by forming a more relaxed binding pocket than these found in the purine-sensing riboswitches. Tertiary structures of the xpt-aptamer bound to guanine and of the mfl-aptamer bound to 2´-deoxyguanosine exhibit very similar features, although the sequence of the mfl-aptamer contains several alterations compared to the purine-aptamer consensus sequence. These alterations include the truncation of a hairpin loop which is crucial for complex formation in all purine-sensing riboswitches characterized to date. We further defined structural features and ligand binding requirements of the free mfl-aptamer and found that the presence of Mg2+ is not essential for complex formation, but facilitates ligand binding by promoting pre-organization of key structural motifs in the free aptamer.
- Influence of ground-state structure and Mg2+ binding on folding kinetics of the guanine-sensing riboswitch aptamer domain (2011)
- Riboswitch RNAs fold into complex tertiary structures upon binding to their cognate ligand. Ligand recognition is accomplished by key residues in the binding pocket. In addition, it often crucially depends on the stability of peripheral structural elements. The ligand-bound complex of the guanine-sensing riboswitch from Bacillus subtilis, for example, is stabilized by extensive interactions between apical loop regions of the aptamer domain. Previously, we have shown that destabilization of this tertiary loop–loop interaction abrogates ligand binding of the G37A/C61U-mutant aptamer domain (Gswloop) in the absence of Mg2+. However, if Mg2+ is available, ligand-binding capability is restored by a population shift of the ground-state RNA ensemble toward RNA conformations with pre-formed loop–loop interactions. Here, we characterize the striking influence of long-range tertiary structure on RNA folding kinetics and on ligand-bound complex structure, both by X-ray crystallography and time-resolved NMR. The X-ray structure of the ligand-bound complex reveals that the global architecture is almost identical to the wild-type aptamer domain. The population of ligand-binding competent conformations in the ground-state ensemble of Gswloop is tunable through variation of the Mg2+ concentration. We quantitatively describe the influence of distinct Mg2+ concentrations on ligand-induced folding trajectories both by equilibrium and time-resolved NMR spectroscopy at single-residue resolution.

Southend deep sea fishing charts now cover most offshore waters. When planning a fishing trip offshore, Fishtrack's comprehensive collection of the latest Southend SST and Chlorophyll imagery and Oceanographic data will allow you to choose the best areas to fish before you leave the dock. Southend deep sea fishing charts are updated several times each day, in order to provide Southend fishermen the latest imagery available.
If you want to view SST and Chlorophyll for other regions, you may do so at any time by clicking "Change Region" links on the chart page or by clicking "Fishing-Charts" in the top navigation bar.
The Southend deep sea fishing charting tool displays a Cloudfree Sea Surface Temperature Image as well as the latest Sea Surface Temperature, Chlorophyll and True Color satellite images. Users can pinpoint and precisely locate relevant Southend deep sea temperature and chlorophyll breaks by moving the bullseye located in the center of the screen over areas of interest revealing precise lat/lon coordinates, water temperatures and chlorophyll concentration levels.
Users may also compliment Southend SST and Chlorophyll and overlay corresponding altimetry (sea surface height anomalies), bathymetry and ocean current imagery for the deep sea fishing waters surrounding Southend on top of any image by checking the appropriate boxes in the left navigation menu.
FISHTRACK TIP: Concentrations of bait and game-fish will often occur where Southend SST and Chlorophyll breaks are found in proximity to deep sea structures such as ledges, banks, canyons and seamounts.
Key Southend Deep Sea Fishing Features
- Daily cloud-free Southend SST image for waters that provides a complete, cloud-free sea surface temperature image in all regions including Southend and surrounding deep sea fishing waters. This is updated daily.
- Latest Satellite high-res satellite imagery- Fishermen can quickly select any shot they want from the last week in order to study the latest hi-res Southend SST and Chlorophyll concentration and True Color Satellite shots in their region. The latest images for Southend deep sea fishing are updated several times a day.
- Consolidated Chlorophyll/SST/True Color menus. Unlike the navigation systems used by our competitors, Fishtrack users can move between corresponding Southend SST and Chlorophyll and True Color images without having to load a new page and re-zoom on their area of interest. Fishtrack users have the choice of viewing Southend SST and Chlorophyll charts as a single image, 1-day composite image, or 3-day composite image. The latest single image is ideal for studying current Southend deep sea fishing conditions, but during periods of heavy cloud cover users may also want to study a 1-day or 3-day composite image.
- Overlay ability- With one click fishermen can overlay the latest Southend deep sea fishing Altimetry, Bathymetry and Ocean Currents data over any SST and Chlorophyll satellite image.
- Marine Weather- Fishtrack users may receive Buoyweather wind and swell forecasts for Southend deep sea fishing waters by placing the bullseye over their area of interest and clicking the "Forecast" link under "Local Information". In addition to a 7-day wind and swell forecast, Southend fishermen may also view the full collection of Buoyweather wind, swell, and weather charts centered on this location.

God gives the word and the sacraments to the church and by the power of the Spirit thereby creates and sustains the church among us. (The Use of the Means of Grace: A Statement on the Practice of Word and Sacrament, Principle 2, page 7.)
We listen deeply as we hear, read and study God's word. As God's word speaks to us, it comes both as command and promise. We listen to see how the message challenges us and encourages us in our lives. We listen for God's call and God's guidance. And we listen to the words of the Lord's Supper to remind us that the body of Christ was given for us and the blood of Christ was shed for us.
The Lord's Supper stands at the center of our lives as Christians. In that meal, we received Jesus' presence into our very bodies. We receive God's gifts of forgiveness of sin, new life and salvation. At the same time, as a community God makes us into the body of Christ, one with all in every time and place who share this holy meal. We become the body of Christ for the sake of the world. That is, we participate in God's mission. Having been showered with God's gifts, God sends us forth to take that love and compassion out into the world to the lonely, the oppressed, the poor, the hungry, the imprisoned, the angry, and those suffering in mind, body and spirit.
There are many ways we hear God's Word:
- The public reading of Scripture
- Preaching
- Bible study, devotional reading and retreats
- Sacraments
- Experiencing the Arts
- Forgiveness of sin
- All aspects of a congregation's educational ministry
- Continue the fellowship of the Lord's Supper through meal time prayer at the dinner table

ARNIEL becomes the ninth coach in Wolves history and brings 12 years of professional coaching experience to Chicago's bench, which includes 123 games of National Hockey League experience as head coach of the Columbus Blue Jackets. He posted a 45-60-18 record behind the Blue Jackets bench before parting ways with Columbus on Jan. 9, 2012.
"We are extremely pleased to welcome Scott Arniel into our organization," said Wolves general manager WENDELL YOUNG. "Scott's experience at the National and American League level as a coach and a player, along with his background in player personnel and developing prospects, makes him an ideal person to lead this team."
The 49-year-old ARNIEL has compiled a 181-106-16-17 record and .617 percent winning percentage in 320 games as an American Hockey League head coach with the now-defunct Manitoba Moose, spanning four seasons (2006-10). He led Manitoba to an appearance in the 2009 Calder Cup Finals and was awarded the Louis A.R. Pieri Memorial Award as the league's coach of the year that season.
The Kingston, Ontario, native also served as an assistant coach with the NHL's Buffalo Sabres (2002-04; 05-06), and with Manitoba (2000-02) before becoming a head coach.
A veteran of 730 NHL contests as a player with the Winnipeg Jets (1981-86; 1990-91), Buffalo Sabres (1986-1990), and Boston Bruins (1991-92), ARNIEL registered 149 goals, 189 assists, and 338 points in 11 seasons. He also posted 14 points (7G, 7A) in 25 career AHL tilts with the Maine Mariners and New Haven Nighthawks in 1991-92 and tallied 460 points (194G, 266A) in 530 International Hockey League outings with the San Diego Gulls (1992-94), Houston Aeros (1994-96), Utah Grizzlies (1995-96) and Manitoba (1996-99).

Radiation Therapy for Cervical Cancer
Radiation treatment is also called radiotherapy. It's one way to treat cervical cancer.
The goal of radiation is to kill cancer cells. It works by directing strong X-rays at the tumor. To get this treatment, you'll see a radiation oncologist. This doctor determines your treatment plan and should work closely with the gynecologic oncologist to coordinate your care. The plan establishes what kind of radiation you'll have and how long the treatment will last. Your radiation oncologist can tell you what to expect during treatment. You'll also learn how you may feel during and after the treatment.
Women with cervical cancer who are treated with radiation usually receive low-dose chemotherapy at the same time. This makes the radiation work more effectively. For smaller cancers or ones that have not spread, radiation works as well as surgery. Doctors also use radiation for larger cancers or those that have spread because it may help cure them.
You may also have radiation after surgery. Then the goal is to make sure that any cancer cells not removed during surgery are destroyed. If you have an advanced cancer that cannot be cured, your doctor may use radiation to ease symptoms, such as pain or bleeding.
Your radiation oncologist may do some imaging tests to decide on your treatment. These tests take pictures of the inside of your body. They help show where you need treatment. They may include X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. You may have the same tests after treatment to see how well it worked.
What to know about radiation therapy
Radiotherapy is a local therapy. That means it only affects the cancer cells in the area of the body that is treated. Your doctor may suggest radiation therapy in these cases:
You have cervical cancer that has spread beyond the cervix.
You have a large cancer that is found only in the pelvis. When cancers are large, radiation therapy is the preferred treatment.
You need treatment after surgery to make sure that all the cancer cells are gone.
You have early-stage cervical cancer, so you can have radiation as an alternative to surgery. Radiation therapy is as effective as radical hysterectomy for treating small cervical cancers.
You cannot have surgery because you have other medical problems.
You need treatment to shrink a tumor before surgery. (There is no evidence that this is better than radiation alone.)
You can get radiation in two ways. You may get only one of these types of radiation or both of them:
External radiation. This radiation comes from a machine. This is sometimes called EBRT, which stands for external beam radiation therapy. Tumors are thicker in some places than others. Traditional radiation therapy sends the same strength of radiation across the whole tumor. That means some parts may get too little or too much radiation. A form of external beam radiation therapy called intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) helps make sure the tumor gets the appropriate amount of radiation. IMRT uses small beams of different strengths to better fit the tumor's shape and size.
Internal radiation. This radiation is when radioactive material is placed inside you. The doctor puts it directly into, or near, the tumor. This type of radiation is also called brachytherapy. "Brachy" means "near" and refers to how close the radiation is to your tumor.
When radiation is used as the primary form of therapy, it includes both external radiation and brachytherapy.
Common side effects of radiation therapy
Radiation treatment affects normal cells as well as cancer cells. It may cause side effects. These depend on how much radiation you get and where you get it.
Diarrhea is the most common side effect of radiation for cervical cancer. These are some other side effects of radiation:
Skin changes
Loss of appetite
Nausea and vomiting
Upset stomach
Loose bowels
Vaginal dryness and painful intercourse can be long-term side effects
Pelvic radiation can damage the ovaries and cause premature menopause
Bladder irritation and problems with urination
Weakened pelvic (hip) bones and increased risk of fractures
Low blood counts, causing anemia (low red blood cells) and leukopenia (low white blood cells)
Pelvic radiation therapy may cause scar tissue to form in the vagina. The scar tissue can make the vagina more narrow (called vaginal stenosis) or even shorter, which can make sex (vaginal intercourse) painful. Ask your radiation oncologist about the use of a dilator in order to prevent this problem.
Most problems usually go away or get better within a few weeks after radiation ends. Many can be treated, so be sure to talk with your doctor or nurse about any problems you have.

The Antlers Public School District is facing yet another lawsuit in response to the recent suspensions of middle school students involved in a prescription drug incident on school property during school hours.
The first suit came from the Thatcher family after their daughter was suspended for the rest of the 2011 school year for having been in possession of a prescription medication that was a generic non steroidal anti-inflammatory drug.
The newest suit was filed on March 23, 2011 and was filed by the Storie family. Mother and father, Melody and Sean Storie are suing for the violation of their daughter's Constitutional and Civil Rights and in turn are asking for $10,000.00 in civil relief.
According to Storie's lawyers paperwork, the school had no proof that Storie took, or was in possession of anything other than an over-the-counter medication. Nonetheless, she was suspended for the remainder of the school year and was banned from attending school functions (which included 8th grade graduation).
Antlers Independent School District filed a Notice of Removal. This document constitutes that under 28 U.S.C. § 1446(d) a Notice of Removal has been filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma removing the case to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Oklahoma.

Demand and demand: Customers to have a say in store's inventoryBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | June 24,2013NORTHFIELD The Falls General Store in Northfield will be a place created, in part, by the people.
The store, which is under renovation, was purchased by Norma Rooney and her business partner in 2010. Rooney has been living part-time on Cox Brook Road for 16 years and said she would drive by the store all the time and imagine what it could be. She said she wanted to have a place where people can come and have community, be able to go in and have a cup of coffee or a bagel and sit down and talk with their neighbors.
After Rooney bought the building, which was constructed in 1892, she found out it needed serious structural repairs as it was caving in on itself. The first phase of the renovations involved shoring up the structural integrity with repairs such as putting in steel beams in the attic and adding more support columns. All of the plumbing, septic and electrical work had to be replaced as well.
Basically, we rebuilt the building without taking it down, she said.
Rooney said had the building fallen in on itself or been demolished out of fear of caving in, it would have been very sad for the community. It just seems like every town needs a general store, she said.
According to the Northfield Historical Society, the building had been a post office and country store that delivered grain and its ownership has changed hands many times since then.
Rooney said the goal is to make the store looks as close to what it looked like back in the 1800s.
We did as best as we could to maintain the look and feel of the building, but making it a little bit more sustainable by using materials that would not deteriorate as quickly as clapboard and wood, Rooney said.
The outside of the store has been replaced by composite materials and concrete to help keep the building as maintenance-free as possible, as well as energy efficient. The inside of the store will also be energy efficient with LED lighting and automatic toilets and sinks in the bathrooms.
Rooney said construction should be completed by August and she hopes to have the store open this fall. The store will offer catering services, a bakery, and hot food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, we well as a yoga studio upstairs as Rooney said she is a certified yoga instructor.
Some of the other services were ideas that came straight from the public.
Rooney said when they started in on the renovations, a sign was put on the outside of the building asking residents what they wanted the store to offer and to email their suggestions. Based on those submissions, Rooney said the store will offer an espresso bar, a juice bar and other greener options.
People were asking for organic foods and fresh fruits and produce. They were asking for creemees and chocolate. All these little things we tried to incorporate into our original plan, she said, adding all of the services wont be available immediately, but will be gradually worked into the store.
Rooney said the publics response to the renovations has been tremendous. She said people are constantly asking when the store is going to open and thanking her for investing in the store and, in turn, the town.
The whole town is excited, she said.

Comments On Oct 23, 2013:Bought a biike that had this stuff on it. The bike was in great shape, no wear on the cases and frame but guy used this stuff on the plastic. Looked good for a couple of rides then started comming off. I would only use this stuff if you had an old bike with hard to find plastic like an xr 350. Other than that, just buy new plastic.

Comments On May 06, 2011:The only way to get "new" looking plastics is to buy new plastics. But to just get a few more years out of your old one, this definitely does the job. Very noticable difference. I liked it enough I bought some more to do another quad.

Comments On Apr 28, 2011:I spent a total of around 4 hours sanding just small patches on my plastics. I had to go out and buy extra sand paper on top of it. Upon putting on the finish i realized it couldnt just be put on patches and thus had to be put on entire pieces leaving scatchly looking plastics which peels right off leaving your bike to look like crap... If i would have known it wasn't meant for completely redoing your entire plastics i wouldn't have bought it... Well now the bright side is i get to go out and spend around 400 or 500 dollars ordering plastics for my 450r!!

I finished up the last of the standard GI barreled guns today and am starting on the ones with the US barrels. This will take a while as there is a lot of extra work to cut the extractor relief and install all the parts onto the barrel.
While looking at the pics you have posted I noticed some of the boxes had "shorty" written on them, but mine, invoice 1031, did not. I'm sure you have it straight as my invoice is correct stating it is a shorty, but just wanted to make sure. Sorry for the OCD.
Wow! I do not posses the vocabulary to accuratley convey how amazing all of this is.
2 questions Pirate:
1) Did you get my package with the 4 magazines and the DPM cut reciever? ( i can see you are extremely busy)
2) what parts are left over due to the semi conversion and 922r compliance? Are those leftover parts shipped with the finished firearm?
ps: YHM is sending you the 5/8x24 RH QD mount for my Phantom Supressor for my short RPD (1037) Should arrive any day now.
A supressed short RPD should be very entertaining. )
Thank you so much for all your hard work, and all that you do for the Firearms community. I am very excited about my short RPD and Bren !
wow, sorry it was a dumb question. When having STG58's, built it seemed like i always got back alot of parts!
Thank you.
Sweet mine is a US bbl,There looking awesome!!
Hey pirate, do I get a rebate if you use my gun in all the pictures? Just kidding...ha ha

An entirely different approach to trail running than the traditional running shoe, the MT20 New Balance Minimus Trail takes the proven versatile durability of a Vibram® outsole and combines it with a fitted, extremely minimalist upper that's comfortable with or without socks. This companion to the MT10 Minimus Trail features a modified upper on the same comfortable sole unit as its popular counterpart, creating a near-barefoot experience on the trai

I purchase NB because of the wide widths which in other models are accurate.
As my first foreray into minimus, these felt a bit like slippers with a vibram sole. Not sure what model I will try next.
The day i got these and put them on I loved how they fit. I was shocked that they fit so nicely considering they had no sole inside. When you look at the shoe it just makes sense that it is footwear because it is just short of looking like a foot without the toes.
The description lives up to its name "great for crossfit" I feel a lot more comfortable on my heels in my squat then i did in my innov8's.
Since wearing these for a week some of my forefoot pain has gone away probably because my foot can be relaxed being that the width of this shoe is a little wider than the Innov'8s.

"If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all" is generally my policy when reviewing gluten free food. If something is gluten free and not that good I try to mostly refrain from saying so because I don't want to put a company under that might be having a bad day. Also, others might like and depend on a product and I don't want to play a part in a particular gluten free food not being available to people who like the product. In the case of Mimiccreme, which I purchased on Amazon in bulk after reading about it on Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom, I have to override my policy of not posting negative reviews.
Mimiccreme, an almond/cashew milk beverage which is both gluten free and dairy free is really not a good milk or cream substitute. Adventures of a Gluten Free Mom used it to make chocolate pudding, so maybe the chocolate flavor masked the off taste of the "creme" product. I ordered the almond/cashew creme product because in theory an almond/creme blend would be amazing. Cashews give any product a wonderful buttery flavor and fresh almond milk is wonderful. Which is why I ordered four boxes of this product without ever trying it. How disappointing to find that it had a terrible glue like consistency and off taste. I couldn't drink more than a few sips of it. My sister said "You need to tell them it is inedible" after reading this review. My kids don't seem to mind the taste of Mimiccreme as milk in Envirocrisp Kaola Krisp cereal because the sweetness of the cereal disguises the off taste of the milk so we are using up the four cartons we have of it.
"It's not my favorite" is what I have taught my kids to say when they hate something but don't want to offend anyone who might like something. And in that spirit, I would say Mimiccreme is not my favorite. I prefer the taste of homemade almond milk, Almond Breeze, or So Delicious Coconut Milk Beverage to Mimiccreme. Even straight coconut milk watered down is a better choice for our family.

Ashe County joins 97 other counties in North Carolina whose unemployment rate has decreased in the last month.
The latest release from the N.C. Department of Commerce says Ashe County's unemployment rate was 10.2 percent in September 2012. This is down by .7 percent from August's unemployment rate of 10.9 percent.
Ashe County's unemployment rate in September 2011 was 11 percent, indicating Ashe County's unemployment rate has decreased .8 percent since last year.
"Ashe County has shown a fairly static decrease in its unemployment rate. Dropping .8 percent over the past year (the unemployment rate) is a good sign of steady growth," said Larry Parker, the public information officer of the Employment Security Commission in Raleigh.
According to the report, Ashe County, along with its neighbors, have all shown uniform drops in unemployment rates between .6 and 1.2 percent. Of the four N.C. counties in close proximity to Ashe, the unemployment rate is no better than 7.3 percent and no worse than 10.2 percent.
Of Ashe County's closest neighbors, Watauga County's rate has dropped from 8.3 percent in August to 7.3 percent in September and Wilkes County's unemployment rate dropped from 11 percent in August to 10.2 percent in September.
A more dramatic drop was reported for Alleghany County's unemployment rate, which dropped from 10.1 percent in August to 8.9 percent in September. In September 2011, Alleghany County reported an unemployment rate of 11.5 percent, meaning Alleghany County's rate has fallen by 2.6 percent over the past year.
Avery County's unemployment rate also decreased in the last month from 10.5 percent in August to 9.9 percent in September.
Excluding Watauga County's rate, these rates are slightly higher that North Carolina's average unemployment rate of 8.9 percent. N.C.'s lowest unemployment rate comes from Currituck County with 5.1 percent; its highest unemployment rate comes from Scotland County with a 16.1 percent rate.
Almost every county in North Carolina has made strides forward in the past month. Of N.C.'s 100 counties, 97 counties' unemployment rates are lower than last month's rates, only one county has a higher rate than last month, and two counties have remained the same.
According to Parker, the number of unemployed in Ashe County has decreased by 30 people since August, while the rate of employed increased by 500.
Parker also said Ashe County's labor force could fluctuate greatly from month to month because of short-term seasonal changes.
According to Parker, government employment increased in September. Parker said this is due to schools returning from summer break, which means more positions have been filled in education.
Parker also said these numbers could reflect increased employment for one of Ashe County's highest-grossing industries, Christmas tree farming. Ashe County's unemployment rate could continue to improve as the holiday season draws near and there is an increased demand for workers, said Parker.
Ashe County's unemployment rate could also be impacted by layoffs from United Chemi-Con and by new employers like Tractor Supply Co. and Mo's Boots.

"The trouble with things these days is, you're not ALLOWED to keep your family under control. You can't hit your wife or kids anymore, or you'll go to jail." The father sat in front of me, distraught, as I tried to wrap my brain around the words he'd just spoken. The KidsPeace Psychiatric Hospital had just admitted his fourteen-year-old son after an assault on a teacher, an assault that resulted in arrest and legal charges. The boy had been hospitalized the evening before, and this was the first meeting between the family and me, the clinician. The boy's mother sat next to her husband, nodding sadly. "Could you repeat what you just said?" I asked the father. He looked uncomfortable as he answered, "Well, what I meant was, what am I supposed to do? I'm trying to keep my family in line, and these kids just do whatever they want. Now look what's happened." I took a deep breath and tried to look beyond the father's words (far beyond.) Here was a father who did truly love his family, who wanted them to do the right things. He was feeling helpless and out-of-control like most parents of a child admitted to a psychiatric hospital. Yet, there was much that was different about this family … or so I thought.It wasn't until later meetings with the family that I learned the whole story. This was a family in which there had been significant physical abuse and domestic violence, so much so that there had been an open Child Protective Service case for a number of years. The parents, fearful of losing their children, had complied with the steps outlined by the Caseworkers and had eliminated physical violence from the home. CPS closed the case with some satisfaction, believing their mission had been accomplished. Indeed, it had; they'd succeeded in making the family one in which the children were safe. But what then? What kind of legacy would years of physical, verbal and emotional violence leave for this family? The answer was becoming clear. Their son, the oldest child, was in constant altercations in the schoolyard and was known as a bully. He had been suspended frequently. The parents were starting to suspect that he'd been using drugs and alcohol. Their daughter, age eleven, was in therapy with a history of depression and truancy—she refused to go to school. What was happening with these kids?This family was acting out the very reality that investigators and researchers into child maltreatment know to be true: Certain forms of victimization, such as family violence, create vulnerability for bullying, perpetration or victimization. This is known as trauma reenactment. For instance, some youth who are maltreated by their families might learn that violence is the way to deal with interpersonal difficulties, and therefore physically bully their peers at school(1). In one study, 700 fifth grade students were interviewed and asked about their experience of bullying:• 14% reported that they had bullied others• 12% reported that they were the victims of bullying• 8% stated that they'd been both bullies and the victims of bullying• 66% stated that they were not involved in bullying.When the same respondents were asked about their history of maltreatment, this is what the researchers found:• Children who were both bullies and victims of bullying reported the most child maltreatment (44%), which included experiences with physical and psychological abuse and neglect.• Bully-victims also reported the highest rates of sexual victimization (32%), which included experiences with sexual harassment as well as sexual abuse, and included familial and non-familial perpetrators.• Bully-victims witnessed higher levels of victimization within their homes (e.g., domestic violence) and communities (e.g., witnessing attacks) than other youth (59% for bully-victims, 61% for bullies)(2).In addition, studies have shown that maltreated children are at least twenty-five percent more likely to experience problems such as delinquency, teen pregnancy and low academic achievement(3). Bullies who have been identified by age eight are six times more likely than others to be convicted of a crime by the time they reach the age of twenty-four. They are five times more likely to end up with serious criminal records by age thirty(4). Things were looking grim for this family, if the statistics held true. But I was more confused by the dichotomy in front of me. Clearly, these parents loved their family and wanted the best for each other. How could that fit with a history of physically harming each other? One answer to that question comes from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). In 1995, the CDC collaborated with Kaiser Permanente's Health Appraisal Clinic in San Diego on a groundbreaking study called the ACE Study (http://www.acestudy.org/.) Co-principal investigators Robert F. Anda MD and Vincent J. Felitti MD conducted perhaps the largest scientific research study to analyze the relationship between multiple categories of trauma, or adverse childhood experiences, and health and behavioral outcomes later in life. More than 17,000 white, middle-class, college-educated adults were asked about their history of adverse childhood experiences (ACE's) such as physical and emotional abuse, physical and emotional neglect, sexual abuse, substance abuse in the home, domestic violence, incarceration of an adult, untreated mental illness. Almost two-thirds of the study participants reported at least one adverse childhood experience, and more than one in five reported three or more. Clearly, the experience of childhood trauma is not an exception to the rule. The short- and long-term outcomes of these childhood exposures include a multitude of health and social problems, as follows. The ACE Score is used to assess the total amount of stress during childhood and its life-long impact; the study demonstrated that as the level of stress increases, the risk for the following health problems increases in a strong and graded fashion:• Alcoholism and alcohol abuse
• Risk for intimate partner violence• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs)• Fetal death
• Smoking• Health-related quality of life
• Suicide attempts• Illicit drug use
• Unintended pregnancies• Ischemic heart disease (IHD)
• Early initiation of smoking• Liver disease
• Early initiation of sexual activity • Adolescent pregnancy
The evidence clearly suggests that the more adverse childhood experiences (childhood traumas) that people experience, the more likely they are to have a number of problems, such as domestic violence, substance abuse, and depression. But what about the role of "traumatic reenactment?" Why would someone play out the same terrible experiences throughout their lives? Here's what I learned:
Re-enactment of victimization is a major cause of violence. Many traumatized people expose themselves, seemingly compulsively, to situations reminiscent of the original trauma. These behavioral reenactments are rarely consciously understood to be related to earlier life experiences. Some traumatized people remain preoccupied with the trauma at the expense of other life experiences and continue to re-create it in some form for themselves or for others. War veterans may enlist as mercenaries, victims of incest may become prostitutes, and victims of childhood physical abuse seemingly provoke subsequent abuse in foster families or become self-mutilators. Still others identify with the aggressor and do to others what was done to them. These behavioral reenactments are rarely consciously understood to be related to earlier life experiences(5).
So how do we help families understand the impact of violence, trauma, and traumatic reenactment? It starts with education; families need to be provided with what is called "psychoeducation." Our first step in working with this family was to help them understand the interactions among childhood trauma, parenting, child maltreatment, and children's behavior. They needed to learn about the long-term patterns of violence that occur from one generation to the next, and how to stop the cycle. We encouraged the parents to talk to their children about the role that violence plays in their family; we asked them to allow the children to ask questions, even ones that made the parents uncomfortable. They needed to allow respectful dialogue, even when the subject was painful. The parents were taught to set clear limits on unsafe physical, emotional and verbal behavior within the family and as the family interacts with the community. Next, the family needed to learn the skills of managing their emotions when interacting among themselves and others; they developed and practiced these skills in the home. With the help of a family-based team of counselors, they learned techniques for managing anger; they developed safety plans for times when emotion threatened to lead to unsafe behavior; they developed communication skills, conflict resolution skills and problem-solving abilities. They worked with a number of providers to create a sense of community within their family, where everyone felt a sense of belonging and safety.
Family members were encouraged to visit ParentCentral.Net to share their experiences and receive advice anonymously from Master's and doctorate level clinicians. There is a tremendous amount of reading material on this site, as well as a community that supports its members. Teens can visit TeenCentral.Net to discuss their thoughts and feelings after discharge and to read stories by celebrities and peers about how they overcame issues while they were growing up. Advice is also given by Master's or doctorate level counselors within 24 hours. KidsPeace offers these two websites free of charge to all parents and teens who use their services.
Just as this courageous family did, all families who are struggling can and should seek professional services to help them take these steps. Every family has the ability to become a place where all members can seek shelter from the stressors and pressure of the outside world. Every family has the ability to make their home, instead of a place of fear and violence, a place of sanctuary.To(1) http://www.education.com/reference/article/bullying-child-abuse-sexual-domestic-violence/(2) Holt, M., Finkelhor, D., & Kaufman Kantor, K.

Rocket Launchers At LA Gun Buyback? Give me a break!December 29th, 2012
This may be going a bit off topic for a science blog, but this kind of thing really drives me crazy and it seems to be happening more and more. Police and other officials are using extremely scary-sounding items discovered to pat themselves on the back for another victory against terrorism. It could be "chemicals," "an unidentified white powder," "radioactive materials" or just about anything else. The problem has become so bad that now nearly every police report of potential weapons or dangerous goods seized must be scrutinized with extreme skepticism.
In this case it's rocket launchers showing up at a gun buyback program. There is much less to this than it seems.
(For those who might not know, a "Gun Buyback" is an event run by local police with the aim of collecting firearms that are no longer in use or may slip into the wrong hands. They may offer money, gift cards or something else to have the guns turned in. The idea is to reduce the number of guns floating around in the population and potentially available for misuse)
Rocket launchers surface during Los Angeles guns buyback
When Los Angeles police moved up their annual Citywide Gun Buyback program to this week, they collected an arsenal that included 75 assault weapons, 698 rifles, 363 shotguns, 901 handguns and — more surprisingly — two rocket launchers.
The weapons, essentially long metal tubes once capable of firing rockets, lacked the projectiles and parts needed to fire them, but even so had no place on the streets, police said.
"Those are weapons of war, weapons of death," said LAPD Chief Charlie Beck, according to the Los Angeles Times. "These are not hunting guns. These are not target guns. … they have no place in our great city."
Police said the people who brought in the weapons told police that they came from family members who served in the military and no longer wanted rocket launchers in their homes, the Times reported.
LAPD was planning to check with the military to determine the origins of the launchers, police said.
As it turns out, these were not the first launchers to turn up at a gun buyback. Last May, when the event was timed for Mother's Day, one of these large firearms surfaced in Los Angeles.
I love the way that they say " they have no place in our great city." It almost sounds heroic, as if a great evil has been vanquished.
There are two things left out of most of the reports. The first is that it's completely legal to own these and the second is that if you wanted to kill someone with them, the only way you might be able to do it is by whacking them over the head.
What these are is actually are is empty AT-4 rocket launchers. The AT-4 is a man-portable anti-armor weapon designed and manufactured in Sweden. They are used by the US military (as well as several other nations). The US military variant is known as the M-136 LAW or Light Antitank Weapon. It is one of the most successful and prolific missiles of this type ever produced.
The launcher for the AT-4 is single use. It cannot be reloaded and is really only there to protect the person firing it from the rocket discharge and to provide a basic means of aiming the rocket. Once the rocket has been fired, the tube is regarded as being spent. It cannot be reloaded with a new rocket.
Without the rocket, the launch tube is not very exciting. It's basically an aluminum and fiberglass tube with simple electrical switch to trigger the rocket and a pair of cross hairs to provide some ability to aim it. In the United States, it is perfectly legal to own an empty tube. It is legal to own an electrical switch and it is even legal to own crosshairs. Thus, as long as there is no rocket, you can, in fact own the launch tube.
In this case, however, these "launchers" never even launched a missile. That's because these are not, in fact "inert" versions of the launcher, as indicated by the yellow band on them, meaning they never fired a missile and may not even have the basic electrical connections needed to do so. They are just empty shells, props of the weapon. They would be used for training soldiers on how to properly handle the AT-4, but they are not functional launchers, and even if they were, they would be useless without the rockets.
Another thing that I know firsthand — having myself fired two AT-4 rockets in the Marine Corps — is that working AT-4 launchers are fire and forget. They are not issued in the military in the traditional sense as a rifle or pistol would be, but instead as a single round of ammunition. They are one shot weapons. If it doesn't have a projectile, then its no longer a weapon.
Once it is fired, it doesn't ever get reloaded. It gets thrown in a dumpster, or sometimes even taken home as a souvenir.
The turn-in of these expended rockets is the equivalent of me picking up empty shell casings that have been fired, and maybe even the ammunition box they came in, and turning it in for a free gift card.
Given that spent AT-4 launch tubes are basically regarded as trash, they are not hard to come by. The inert, training versions can also be found fairly easily at military surplus dealers. They are bought by collectors and sometimes modified into big paintball guns or firework launchers.
A couple of quick web searches found one surplus dealer selling inert AT-4 tubes for $350 and another for $250. One could almost certainly find it for much less with enough shopping around.

First things first, I have combination skin and no eyeshadow last on me—good primer is essential to any eye makeup. "Stay Don't Stray" fell in my hands as a sample in a mini sized 'gloss' tube, complete with small but functional doe foot wand. Formula had a distinct concealer-like tint that was a touch too dark (and orange) on my pale skin; formula is very 'wet'–thin and liquid, but not runny.
The idea of eyeshadow and concealer primer was exiting but an all around failure in the end. Product would not stay in place on lids or my dark circles–creasing was abundant and that's in the first five minutes! I didn't even get a chance to apply either eyeshadow or concealer, as the primer basically was sliding around on my skin with every blink. Now to be fair, the formula is advertized as 'moisturizing' so perhaps paper-dry eyelids can benefit from this particular primer. My verdict–not for me.

This dual-action power primer works 360 degrees around the eyes to make concealers AND eyeshadows STAY PUT. Concealers don't crease, eyeshadows stay vibrant & true. Sodium hyaluronate hydrates while Vitamins C & E help fight signs of aging.
