|PMID: 20638154 Owner: NLM Status: In-Data-Review
|Palmar fasciitis and polyarthritis syndrome is a rare, disabling, paraneoplastic condition of unknown pathogenesis. There is no known effective treatment, although the condition may be halted by control of the cancer. Previously reported cases have mostly been in patients with advanced ovarian malignancies. We present the case of a 69-year-old woman with this condition in association with bladder carcinoma, together with a review of the literature and discussion of possible therapeutic options.

Extinct Giant Shark Nursery Discovered in Panama

Most of the giant shark teeth found in Panama's Gatun Formation were from neonates or juveniles, leading researchers to propose that this was a nursery site. (Credit: Catalina Pimiento)
The six-foot-long babies of the world's biggest shark species, Carcharocles megalodon, frolicked in the warm shallow waters of an ancient shark nursery in what is now Panama, report paleontologists working at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and the University of Florida.
Adult giant sharks, at 60-70 feet in length, faced few predators, but young sharks faced predation from larger sharks," said Catalina Pimiento, visiting scientist at STRI and graduate student at the University of Florida. "As in several modern shark species, juvenile giant sharks probably spent this vulnerable stage of their lives in shallow water where food was plentiful and large predators had difficulty maneuvering."
Paleontologists from the Smithsonian and the University of Florida collected more than 400 fossil shark teeth from Panama´s 10-million-year-old Gatun Formation as part of ongoing work to reveal the origins of this narrow land-bridge that rose to connect North and South America about 3 million years ago. "The 28 teeth that we identified as C. megalodon were mostly from neonates and juveniles," said Pimiento. Researchers used reference collections at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History and the Florida Museum of Natural History to characterize the teeth.
"Very little is known about the life cycle of this giant shark that ruled the oceans not so long ago. Now we think that the young spent their first years close to the coast among mangroves," said STRI staff scientist Carlos Jaramillo, who heads the Canal excavation project.
The team discarded several other explanations for the concentration of small teeth at the site. Before their discovery in Panama, two other fossil beds have been proposed as paleo-shark nurseries: the Williamsburg Formation from the Paleocene and the Oligocene Chandler Bridge Formation, both in the U.S. state of South Carolina.
The sandy soils of the Gatun Formation have been used for years to make cement. Soon these outcrops will be exhausted. Scientists continue to race against the clock to find out more about the ancient inhabitants of the region.
These results, generated with funds from the U.S. National Science Foundation, are published online in the journal PLoS ONE.

J.S.D. Requirements
Admission Information and Degree Requirements
To file an application for admission to the J.S.D. program, an applicant must hold a foreign law degree or a J.D. and ordinarily also have completed one full semester of one of the Washington University School of Law LL.M. programs. During the first semester of the LL.M. program, the J.S.D. applicant must have had an academic record of distinction with a minimum of 10 hours of academic credit. Mere "passing" grades are not sufficient. An applicant with an LL.M. degree from an Association of American Law Schools (AALS) approved school may be provisionally admitted but must successfully complete the course of study for the first semester of a Washington University School of Law LL.M. program to remain a J.S.D. candidate.
The application shall include (1) one significant research paper (which may become a part of the subsequent dissertation); and (2) a dissertation proposal for approval by the J.S.D. admissions committee.
The J.S.D. admissions committee will make its admission decision at some point during the second semester of the applicant's LL.M program. To remain a J.S.D. candidate after admission to the program, the person must, by the end of the second semester in residence, have taken at least one course or seminar in his or her primary field of study and have completed the basic LL.M. degree requirements.
During the second year in residence a J.S.D. candidate is permitted to enroll in law school courses for credit (in which case the student would be graded) or to audit courses.
The Dissertation Proposal
The dissertation proposal should be approximately ten pages and should include:
- Astatement of the problem—focus of the study;
- The significance of this study and how this work is different from other existing research in this area; and
- The methodology proposed.
The Dissertation
The J.S.D. program emphasizes original research and writing culminating in the preparation of a significant and extensive (book-length) dissertation of publishable quality. The J.S.D. dissertation should demonstrate not just awareness of a body of material but also synthesis of that material into a rigorous high quality analysis. It should be a work that, when published, will contribute to the field.
Upon an applicant's admission to the J.S.D. program as a J.S.D. candidate, the J.S.D. Admissions Committee will appoint a Dissertation Committee, comprised of at least three members, two of whom, including the chair, will be members of the faculty of Washington University School of Law. The chair of the committee will serve as the primary faculty advisor to the candidate. The dissertation must be completed and accepted by the candidate's Dissertation Committee within (a) five years of receipt of the LL.M. degree, for students who obtain their LL.M. from WUSL; or (b) five years after admission to the J.S.D. program. All J.S.D. candidates will be expected to defend their dissertation vive voce.
J.S.D. students with no J.D. who are obtaining their LL.M. degree in U.S. Law or their LL.M. in Intellectual Property and Technology from Washington University must pay:
- Year 1 (LL.M.)--one year of full tuition followed by standard semester administrative fee
- Year 2 (J.S.D.)--one year of full tuition followed by standard semester administrative fee
- Years 3-5 (until dissertation is completed and approved) -- standard semester administrative fee. (In addition, students will need to pay a per-credit fee whether audited or taken for credit.)
Tuition bills are mailed to students in July for the Fall semester, and in December for the Spring semesters. If you have questions about tuition, please contact JoAnn Eckrich, Director of Financial Aid (314 935 4605), firstname.lastname@example.com, Room 303B.

Dylan Peters has the physique of a fire hydrant and a face that looks like it could still get him into a junior high dance.
Joe Colon is tall and tensile, and the Northern Iowa senior's mustache is generating nearly as much notoriety this year as his improbable climb to the top of the national rankings at 133 pounds.
On the surface, they might seem like an odd couple for training partners. But Peters and Colon have grown close as they've developed into one of college wrestling's top lightweight combos. ...

Freecom intros 2.5-inch rugged external drive
updated 10:35 am EDT, Thu March 19, 2009
Freecom rugged drive
Earlier this week, Freecom released its new 2.5-inch ToughDrive Sport external hard drive that is claimed to be capable of withstanding adverse conditions. Available in 250GB, 320GB and 500GB capacities, the drive can withstand a drop onto a flat surface from up to 6.6 feet and can soak up to 300G of force when in operation or 1,000G when turned off. Data is also protected against more human threats through 256-bit encryption.
An integrated USB 2.0 cable that loops around the drive provides the computer connections, allowing it to transfer data at speeds up to 480Mbps. A Turbo USB driver lets Windows users transfer data at even higher, though unspecified, speeds. Back-up software that allows users to schedule regular file duplication is included with each ToughDrive Sport, which can also be used for porting installations on multiple PCs.
Freecom's ToughDrive Sport is now available throughout Europe, priced at the equivalent of $144 for the 250GB version, $170 for the 320GB drive, and $241 for the 500GB flagship. No plans to launch the drive in North America have yet been announced. [via TomsHardware]

NYC Community Solar
Why Solar? NYC solar energy benefits all New Yorkers. Every kilowatt of solar in NYC helps improve air quality, reduces electric grid congestion and creates green workforce jobs that power the local economy. Sustainable CUNY Wins EPA's Highest Award
What is Community Solar? Community Solar can be defined as a solar-electric system that is funded through a voluntary donation or investment program that provides power and/or financial benefit to a community or to a host site. Normally an individual (or business) owns the solar array. Community solar is a community shared or funded solar array or one with a public benefit. There are a wide variety of Community Solar models across the country.
Why Community Solar in NYC? Community Solar programs are ideal in areas with low home ownership or for interested parties who have no control over their own roof space. Community Solar also offers low cost options for those interested in solar for a wide variety of reasons such as environmental concerns, as a renewable energy source, as an investment, or as a way of supporting schools, community facilities, churches or other not-for profit entities who wish to install solar.
Creating a NYC Community Solar Program: Sustainable CUNY is leading the development of NYC Community Solar models in partnership with the New York City Economic Development Corporation and the Mayor's Office of Long-term Planning and Sustainability as part of a U.S. Department of Energy program. The Partnership's goal is to make solar energy affordable and accessible for all New Yorkers. The Partnership has already shown solar energy's practical potential through the NYC Solar America City initiative and the NYC Solar Map. Community Solar continues this success by helping NYC residents overcome the financial and logistical hurdles of installing solar power.As an initial phase of the NYC Community Solar effort, Sustainable CUNY has created a donation model known as a Solar Development Fund. This fund is a donation model that enables tax-exempt entities, such as non-profits, community groups, and colleges and universities to install solar. NYC Community Solar Report <pdf>

Using community-based participatory research and informed by the Social Cognitive Theory and ecologic frameworks, the American Indian Healthy Eating Project was started in fall 2008 and has evolved through five phases: (1) starting the conversation; (2) conducting multidisciplinary formative research; (3) strengthening partnerships and tailoring policy options; (4) disseminating communitygenerated ideas; and (5) accelerating action while fostering sustainability. Collectively, these phases helped develop and disseminate Tools for Healthy Tribes—a toolkit used to raise awareness among participating tribal policymakers of their opportunities to improve access to healthy, affordable foods. Formal and informal strategies can engage tribal leaders in the development of culturally appropriate and tribe-specific sustainable strategies to improve such access, as well as empower tribal leaders to leverage their authority toward raising a healthier generation of American Indian children.

Vendor Spotlight: Neal DeConte (Horror Idols)
From Dusk Till Con's own Mr. Chainsaw recently got the opportunity to sit down with Neal DeConte, the artist extraordinaire behind Horror Idols, to discuss his craft, working with Amelia Kinkade, and the next big masterpiece he's looking to unleash upon serious horror fans.
Mr. Chainsaw: Please start by introducing yourself and telling us a little bit about Horror Idols - (how it got started, how long you have been doing it, as well as your background in working with this medium, etc).
Neal DeConte: My name is Neal DeConte, I started Horror Idols out of selfishness, I wanted figurines in my collection that were truly collectables…. Pieces that were more than just the action figures, statues and model kits that were out there. I started the company about 5 years ago now. It's been part-time up until this year when my son (Bryan DeConte) and I decided to do it up right.
Each figurine we do is ¼ scale (about 18" tall) and are limited to ONLY 20 being produced, one these are produced the original sculpt and the molds are destroyed, no others will be made. Each is signed by the actor/actress and has a solid oak base, an acrylic case enclosing the whole thing keeping it dust free, a certificate of authenticity and we try to work something in from the movie for each one, it's been gravel from the actual movie location so far (which we have photos documenting).
I have no formal training in sculpting on painting, I'm self-taught. When I was a child I was always into art, and I started building models, I was always interested in the figure kits and the sci-fi kits and the car kits, but I was mostly drawn to the figure stuff. I grew up the old Aurora horror figure kits….Showing my age now!
When I hit my teens, the interests turned to the full-size cars and the full size figures… girls. In my early 20's I found some really cool figure kits in the local hobby shop from a company called Horizon Models, they were the Marvel vinyl figure kits they were producing, I was amazed with the quality and the detail of them, at that point I was hooked!
I started getting any information I could on what kits were out there and the best ways to build them, to hone my skills….. Magazines, videos, phpbb on the net, any way I could dig up more information on what I was doing, I did. I started competing in the model competitions, won my share, took some first places and best of show. For a good part of this time it was all horror figures, I was modifying the kits in some way, either re-sculpting areas I didn't like, or re-posing them. My last model kit I built was one of the Pit Witch from Army of Darkness. I started working on the kit and realized I wasn't happy with the pose or some of the details, I started re-working it….. By the time I was done, I ended up using the head ( from the upper jaw up), the hands and the feet…. That was it! That's when I realized I wanted to do my own pieces and started Horror Idols.
Mr. C: How do you determine what the subject of your next work will be? Does a particular celebrity's participation and input play a factor in who you choose to immortalize with a Horror Idols and if so, then to what extent?
ND: I pick pieces that I want in my collection and pieces I want to do…. It's that easy. We hope they'll be an interest in them out there in the market place also.
We only tackle a figurine if the actor/actress is on board with the project, if the actor/actress isn't on board, we don't do it, it's that easy…… I haven't had that problem yet tho! ;) I also ask each actor/actress for their input on the figurine, what do they want to see for a pose, is there something they want in there specifically? Each piece is also approved by them for the sculpt and the paint master before we go into production. I want them to be completely satisfied with the finished piece it will be decorating their house also.
Mr. C: Can you tell us about the process that goes into creating one of these works of art from start to finish? What kind of materials are used in production? How long does it take to make each Idol from the point of conception to the unveiling of the finished product.
ND: The process is all done in our shop, nothing is done overseas or by someone else, it's all done in our shop by our own hands.
Once we have the character picked out and the actor/actress is on board with it, it's picking out the pose. Once this is done, it's time to track down reference…. I do a lot of screen captures from the movie and any behind the scene footage and sometimes we get lucky where the actor/actress has some photos. For instance, the Agelia from Night of the Demons we're working on right now, I grabbed 145 screen captured off the DVD.
Next the sculpting process starts, all of the sculpts are done in a wax based clay, holds detail really well. The process can average anywhere from 80-to 150 hours on average. I try to get all the minute details in that most people don't even see….. BUT I know they're there! J
Once the sculpt is done and approved we make the molds to do our 20 castings. We only use high quality platinum based silicone rubber for our work, they stand up the best to wear and tear and they have a longer shelf life if we need it.
Molds are done it's ready to do the castings. We only do solid castings (no hollow castings here! Our leatherface weighs close to 20 pounds with the base and acrylic case!) and we use a high quality urethane for all our castings.
Now that we have our castings it's time to assemble, paint and detail. We use lacquer based primer as a foundation to paint on, then we do all of our base color/detail painting in water based paints, we also use pastel chalks for shadowing and some detailing. Once we're happy with everything, it all get a few coats of clear coat lacquer to keep everything sealed and preserved. None of the hair is sculpted into the figurines, we use dyed lambs wool for a realistic hair.
Now we still have to build the oak bases which needs the groundwork laid onto it, and all of the acrylic cases are built in the shop also. To build each painted figurine takes between 100 - 150 hours to complete, that's not taking into consideration the reference, sculpting, molding or casting.
Mr. C: How have you found the reception to be from both fans and celebrities to your work?
Reception all around has been wonderful! I've actually have had a few actors track me down wanting to know how they get their character done. The fans have been GREAT and very supportive, Always like meeting the people out at the conventions and seeing the responces on what we're doing.
Mr. C: Your newest Horror Idol, Angela Franklin from Night of the Demons played by Amelia Kinkade, will be unveiled at the upcoming Famous Monsters Con this July. Can you tell us a bit about how it was working with Amelia on this new Idol and perhaps provide a glimpse as to what fans can expect from this latest masterpiece?
ND: Amelia has been a sweetheart and a total trip to work with, she's got a GREAT sense of humor and is really into the project! She had visualized from the beginning on what she wanted and she had problem telling me either! LOL! This is actually the first thing she's done in the horror genre since the movies came out, I was pretty excited to know that she was on board with it!
The figurine we've come up with will have alternate version head and arms, a "lovely" and "possessed" version. I wanted to have the lovely from the dance routine ( who can forget the dance routine!?) somehow, it was a chore to pull off a pose that will work with both, but we've done it! It will also have a removable skirt with the see through skirt underneath.
Her figurine stands 15.75" tall and looks sexy as hell!
She'll be with us at the Famous Monsters convention meeting fans, signing autograph, and premiering the figurine with us….. We're all stoked about it!
Mr. C: Have you started giving any thought to who your next Horror Idol subject might be? Have you ever considered taking input from fans on who you should consider working with on future Idols? Are there any celebrities you would like to particularly work with if given the opportunity?
We're always asking for input from fans out there, that's actually how the idea from Angelia came about, Mike one of our friends on Facebook actually recommended it. We actually have a BUNCH lined up already, but we're always keeping an eye out for others..
We actually have a few in the works right now….. Dee Sinder from Strangeland, Lesie Vernon from Behind the Mask, Michael Madsen as Gent from the movie Hell Ride and SpiderOne, lead singer from Powerman 5000. Michael's piece is actually going to have his chopper (that he now owns) with the figurine…..The chopper will be 24" long!? And we'll be working with Billy Bryan to do a Pit Witch and Marshmello man this year also.
I am dying to work with an idol of mine…. Alice Cooper!
Alice, if you're out there call me! I want to do "Eras of Alice", he's changed so much through the years, it would be a fun project for me and an honor to work with him, I'm a HUGE Cooper fan.
Mr. C: I'd like to do a few non-business related questions: What are some of your favorite horror films? Is there one particular film you can recall as being "the one" that turned you into a fan of the genre?
NC: Some of my favorite horror movies…………Exorcist, Hellraiser, Evil Dead Series (Army of Darkness being my fave!), Dead & Breakfast.
I can remember watching the Creature Double Feature as a kid on TV, Creature from the Black lagoon is one that freaked me out as a kid, that and Frankenstein…. When I saw them I was hooked! I also remember seeing the Exorcist when it came out, that one freaked me out as an adult!?
Also a BIG fan of Mad max, I know it's not horror, but I've seen that movie sooooo many times.
Mr. C: Are you yourself a collector off any memorabilia, models, or other such paraphanelia?
ND: I had one hell of a figure model collection for some time, still have my pride and joys, but I sold off a lot to make room for my own Horror Idols, those are my collectables now. I also started collecting movie posters of figurines we're doing, both of which reside in my office. I have a few movie props also. And of course the usual 8x10's… those line the stairway to the shop right now.
Mr. C: Finally, what is your overall impression of the growing genre convention scene, which has evolved from small gatherings in venues of very limited capacity to the quickly expanding, and for some, lucractive sub-culture?
I started doing horror conventions in the 90's and to see how far they've come in that amount of time is amazing! There's great conventions all over the country and overseas, if your into horror I can guarantee you there's a convention of some size fairly close to you. Two of the most memorable ones that I've been to, just for the locations was the HorrorHound convention that was right in front of the Monroeville mall where they shot the original Dawn of the Dead, and Creaturefest that was at the lagoon from creature of the Black lagoon.
I'm a believer in preserving movie history and memorabilia, so when I have a chance to get to a movie location I don't pass it up…… been to a few now and we have a bunch scheduled to visit.
I wanted to take a minute out to say thank you to you and the From Dusk Till Con for giving both Amelia and I the opportunity to do these interviews and to promote our upcoming FM convention appearance. I've been a member of the phpbb for a few months now and it seems like a well organized website and friendly people on the phpbb!
Mr. C: Thanks for your time, Neal. Look forward to seeing you at Famous Monsters for the unveiling of the new Amelia Kinkade sculpture! Thank you for choosing to speak with From Dusk till Con!
You can check out Neal DeConte's work at this weekend's Famous Monsters convention or by visiting his official site at http://www.HorrorIdols.com

New Zealand Embassy Berlin, Germany
NZSO wows audiences on European Tour
The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra is on tour in Europe, playing at concert halls in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia.
The NZSO is playing to full houses and receiving very favourable reviews. The German newspaper Badische Zeitung reported that the orchestra had "demonstrated that they can, without fear, allow themselves to be compared with leading European ensembles".
Following a sold-out concert at the renowned Musikverein in Vienna on Saturday 6 November, a reviewer from the New Zealand Herald wrote: "The orchestra played the best I've heard them play, and the audience was so rapturous – even more than I would ever have imagined."
New Zealand Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage Hon Christopher Finlayson attended the Vienna concert, and speaking afterwards said: "We all know the NZSO is a world-class orchestra and we've now shown that to the Viennese, who are well-known for being among the most critical audiences in the world."
For the concert schedule and latest news visit the NZSO website.

Renardo Sidney's the one with the bad reputation, not teammate Elgin Bailey.
So that's why I'm going to verbally do to Sidney what he did to Bailey last night in the stands of the Diamond Head Classic.
First, the video, which is jaw-dropping.
This happened just before Utah and Hawaii were about the play their game, at 7:30 p.m. local time.
Sidney's a child. And that's an unintended compliment to him while at the same time an insult to 98 percent of children everywhere. Need I remind you: Sidney was just suspended for one game over an undisclosed incident in practice. We now have a fairly good idea what shaked down when cameras weren't around.
ESPN's Doug Gottlieb was mere feet away from the debacle. He told ESPN.com news services Bailey was promptly sent back to the team hotel; nobody was arrested, either. (No need for an arrest here, in my opinion.) I'm not going to recap what Sidney produced, statistically, for the Bulldogs in his two-game career, because it's perfectly irrelevant now.
Brandon Marcello of the Clarion-Ledger has been all over this story since it went down eight hours ago. He got responses from those involved with the school.
UPDATE (1:17 a.m.) : MSU athletic director Scott Stricklin commented on the incident to The Clarion-Ledger via text message early Friday morning:
"It's disappointing. Still gathering information, but it's not how we want our school represented."
UPDATE (1:25 a.m.) : MSU spokesman Gregg Ellis said coach Rick Stansbury was not expected to release a comment on the altercation tonight.
Don't care that it's Christmas Eve. Stansbury needs to boot Sidney's butt off the team today. Merry Christmas, here's your coal, etc. He's gotta be gone. Who outside of Sidney's direct family would object to it? This is a disgrace. Have you ever seen video like this? Yes, once. Ron Artest and his merry band of fist flingers. Artest was suspended from the NBA for the rest of the 2004-05 season.
You know what normally happens during these tournaments, when other teams' players are "scouting"? They dial through the iPod, text some friends and replay the same jokes with each other over and over.
Renardo Sidney? He gets into fights. With teammates.
Other teammates are taking to Twitter to apologize on his behalf.
Does all the blame belong to Sidney? No, not yet. We aren't sure the details of what Bailey said or did. However, Bailey is a junior team captain and has no history of altercation. But you get what you earn in life, and Sidney's earned nothing but a reputation of being a classic case of five-star talent and a five-star head case. In that regard, he truly is special. And it's why everyone is rightfully killing him in the wake of this grease fire.

Hirsutism and PCOS
Are you bedeviled by coarse, darker hairs growing on your face, chin, neck, chest, back or limbs?
If so, you have a condition called "hirsutism".
What Is It?
Abnormal hair growth affects 5-10% of all women and a much higher percentage of women with PCOS. Women of European ancestry have higher rates than women of African descent. Asian women have the lowest rate.
You may have hirsutism (excessive hair growth) if you have coarse, mature facial hair, hair on the chest, back or arms, or excessive pubic hair.
Because physical appearance has so much to do with how people relate to each other, uncontrollable hair growth can be a painful experience. Women may be chronically stressed by the amount of time and money they spend removing unwanted hair, to say nothing of the frustration of having it continually grow back.
What Causes It?
Interacting factors - hormonal, genetic, and lifestyle - combine to determine how much hair you have, and where it grows.
Hirsutism is thought to be mostly due to excessive levels of androgenic hormones. Examples of androgens are testosterone, androstenedione, and DHEA. Testosterone is the main androgen we're concerned about. It's normal for men to have a lot of testosterone and for women to have some. When women have too much testosterone, body and facial hair overgrowth may result. When men have excessive testosterone, prostate problems can occur.
But even if your androgens are normal, you may develop hair overgrowth because your body is overly sensitive to hormones. And some women who have normal androgens and don't have PCOS will develop excessive hair, sometimes for unknown reasons.
Your genes are a contributing factor. Your inherited genetic predisposition may incline your metabolism towards creating conditions favoring the growth of unwanted hair.
However, what you eat, whether you exercise, how well you sleep, how you manage stress, and the pollutants you are exposed to directly influence what your genes do. So your facial and body hair growth is partially under your control.
There are basically two ways to handle this problem. You can physically remove or destroy the unwanted hair, or you can reduce the androgen and related hormone imbalances that are causing the hair to grow.

Did an ancient chlamydial endosymbiosis facilitate the establishment of primary plastids?
1 Department of Biology, Howell Science Complex, East Carolina University, Greenville, NC 27858, USA
2 NASA Astrobiology Institute at Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, MA 02543, USA
3 Department of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Connecticut, 91 North Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06269-3125, USA
Genome Biology 2007, 8:R99 doi:10.1186/gb-2007-8-6-r99Published: 4 June 2007
Ancient endosymbioses are responsible for the origins of mitochondria and plastids, and they contribute to the divergence of several major eukaryotic groups. Although chlamydiae, a group of obligate intracellular bacteria, are not found in plants, an unexpected number of chlamydial genes are most similar to plant homologs, which, interestingly, often contain a plastid-targeting signal. This observation has prompted several hypotheses, including gene transfer between chlamydiae and plant-related groups and an ancestral relationship between chlamydiae and cyanobacteria.
We conducted phylogenomic analyses of the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae to identify genes specifically related to chlamydial homologs. We show that at least 21 genes were transferred between chlamydiae and primary photosynthetic eukaryotes, with the donor most similar to the environmental Protochlamydia. Such an unusually high number of transferred genes suggests an ancient chlamydial endosymbiosis with the ancestral primary photosynthetic eukaryote. We hypothesize that three organisms were involved in establishing the primary photosynthetic lineage: the eukaryotic host cell, the cyanobacterial endosymbiont that provided photosynthetic capability, and a chlamydial endosymbiont or parasite that facilitated the establishment of the cyanobacterial endosymbiont.
Our findings provide a glimpse into the complex interactions that were necessary to establish the primary endosymbiotic relationship between plastid and host cytoplasms, and thereby explain the rarity with which long-term successful endosymbiotic relationships between heterotrophs and photoautotrophs were established. Our data also provide strong and independent support for a common origin of all primary photosynthetic eukaryotes and of the plastids they harbor.

Tennis: Andy Murray could face Novak Djokovic in U.S. Open semifinals
New York • Defending champion Andy Murray could face top-seeded Novak Djokovic only in the semifinals at the U.S. Open, while Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer who have never played each other at Flushing Meadows might meet in the quarterfinals.
Murray earned his first Grand Slam championship by beating Djokovic in the 2012 U.S. Open final, then added a second by beating the No. 1-ranked Serb in the Wimbledon title match last month. But there can't be a rematch in New York in the final, thanks to Thursday's draw.
"Coming to the U.S. Open last year, I'd never won a Grand Slam. I didn't know if I was ever going to win one," Murray said at the draw ceremony. "A lot of people would say ... like, 'He's good enough to win a Grand Slam. He's going to win one.' But the more finals you lose in, the more you start to doubt yourself. Getting that weight off my shoulders last year was huge."
In addition to No. 2 Nadal against No. 7 Federer, the other possible men's quarterfinals are 2011 champion Djokovic vs. 2009 champion Juan Martin del Potro, No. 3 Murray vs. No. 5 Tomas Berdych, and No. 4 David Ferrer vs. No. 8 Richard Gasquet.

This film image released by CBS FIlms shows Oscar Isaac in a scene from 'Inside Llewyn Davis.'
- Filed Under
A phone conversation with Ethan and Joel Coen about their latest film, "Inside Llewyn Davis," led to a necessary request: Please say your name before you speak, so it's clear who is talking.
To which the reply was, "This is Ethan, but it doesn't really matter. You can attribute whatever to whoever."
That's what it's like talking to these guys. They're multiple Oscar winners and acknowledged geniuses of film. And, if they don't like a question, they'll say so. Yet, it's also fascinating to hear them work up answers, to hear how their minds work, as you'll see. ...


text: Welcome to Hackerville: The Romanian cybercriminal hotspot Hacking 07 February 11 by Yudhijit Bhattacharjee Nick Waplington Defining the town centre of Râmnicu Vâlcea is a huge shopping mall that looks like a giant glass igloo. The streets are lined with gleaming storefronts -- leather accessories, Italian fashions -- serving a demand fuelled by illegal income. Near the mall is a nightclub, now closed by police because its backers were shady. New construction grinds ahead on nearly every block. But what really stands out in Râmnicu Vâlcea are the money-transfer offices. At least two dozen Western Union locations lie within a four-block area downtown, the company's black-and-yellow signs proliferating like the Starbucks mermaid circa 2003.Driving past a block of low-rise buildings with neatly trimmed hedges, Stoica notes a couple of apartments owned by people currently under investigation. "I don't know if the people of Râmnicu Vâlcea are too smart or too stupid," Stoica says grimly. "They talk a lot to each other. One guy learns the job from another. They ask their school friends: 'Hey, do you want to make some money? I want to use you as an arrow.' Then the arrow learns to do the scams himself."It's not so different from the forces that turn a neighbourhood into, say, New York's fashion district or the aerospace hub in southern California. "To the extent that some expertise is required, friends and family members of the original entrepreneurs are more likely to have access to those resources than would-be criminals in an isolated location," says Michael Macy, a Cornell University sociologist who studies social networks. "There may also be local political resources that provide a degree of protection."Online thievery as a ticket to the good life spread from the early pioneers to scores of young men, infecting Râmnicu Vâlcea's social fabric. The con artists were the ones with the nice cars and fancy clothes -- the local kids made good. And, just as in Silicon Valley, the clustering of operations in one place made it that much easier for more to get started. "There's a high concentration of people offering the kinds of services you need to build a criminal scheme," says Gary Dickson, an FBI agent who worked in Bucharest from 2005 to 2010. "If your speciality is auction frauds, you can find a money pick-up guy. If you're a money pick-up guy, you can find a buyer for your services."Stoica and Frunza both complain that they're fighting an unstoppable tide with limited resources. But they haven't been entirely unsuccessful -- in fact, the 2008 case that first revealed the anatomy of Râmnicu Vâlcea's fraud networks stemmed from one of Stoica's investigations.Stoica says Romeo Chita started out as an arrow in the UK. He moved up the ranks and eventually established his own ring. The Romanian authorities began investigating him in 2006, when he started buying new cars every few months and going to clubs every night with no apparent source of legitimate income. Chita launched an internet service provider called NetOne, which authorities believe he was using as a shelter for fraudulent activity. When cops wanted to identify his customers, Stoica says, Chita usually told them that NetOne didn't keep records.In January 2008, an informant gave Stoica the mobile numbers of two men working for Chita. The police tapped the phones, and the next day one of the men sent Chita a text message with money-transfer control numbers -- unique numeric sequences required to pick up cash. Stoica and his team followed up with surveillance of Chita and his associates, which established what Stoica calls "the money circuit" -- the route through which the funds flowed from victims in the US to Chita and others. Prosecutors allege that the operation turned into something a little more sophisticated than the usual Râmnicu Vâlcea scam. For example, the case against them details a con known as spear phishing -- sending email to US companies that appeared to be from the US Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Justice, or some other agency. Through Trojan horses attached to these emails, Chita's group could obtain the companies' bank-account numbers and passwords. Allegedly, they even hired people in Las Vegas -- Stoica says some were homeless -- to open fake corporate bank accounts and receive the money.

Recent Additions to the Collection - Fall 2010
Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room
The Boston College Law Library is delighted to display a selection of its recent acquisitions. These books, manuscripts and memorabilia enhance our holdings in key areas and enable us to better understand the way law was published, acquired, studied and practiced in England and America in centuries past.
We are grateful to Karen S. Breda, Daniel R. Coquillette and Michael H. Hoeflich, who donated some of the works on view. Others were purchased to strengthen the library's collection of works likely to have been owned by working English and American lawyers who lived during the fifteenth through nineteenth centuries, or purchased to enhance gifts of materials donated to the library in recent years.
Highlights of this year's exhibit include a selection of early English law dictionaries, a stunning group of lawyers' private library lists, signed modern first editions from contemporary political figures, and some unusual memorabilia connected to the legal publishing industry in late nineteenth-century North America.
Below are a few images from the exhibit. A handout describing the entire exhibit is available here. More images are available on the Rare Book Room's flickr site and on our blog.
The exhibit was curated by Karen Beck, Curator of Rare Books / Collection Development Librarian. It will be on view through early December 2010.
JOHN COWELL, THE INTERPRETER OF WORDS AND TERMS. 6th Ed. London, 1701.
Without a doubt, Cowell's INTERPRETER is the most famous, and infamous, of the English law dictionaries. It appeared in eight editions from 1607 to 1727; this copy is from the sixth edition. We also own copies of the first (1607), seventh (1708) and eighth (1727) editions.
The first edition ignited a scandal and was banned by King James in 1610. Very briefly, Cowell got into trouble for several of his definitions, especially "King," "Parliament," "Prerogative," and "Subsidy." Cowell seemed to favor an absolute monarch who was above the common law. This infuriated Chief Justice Edward Coke and Parliament. Though he secretly agreed with Cowell's definitions, James tried to placate Coke and Parliament by suppressing the book. Though banned for a time, not all copies of the first edition were destroyed, and the INTERPRETER eventually came to be considered the best law dictionary until Giles Jacob's appeared in 1729.
Our copy contains extensive annotations from an early owner, Samuel Burton, who inscribed the book in 1704. On the pages shown here, Burton added a chronological list of England's Kings and Queens opposite the title page. He also compiled lists of "Words omitted in this Law Dictionary" and ancient English surnames elsewhere in the volume. This copy is a stellar example of how owners used their books and made them their own.
Gift of Daniel R. Coquillette

In 2005, our dear friend the late Kathryn "Kitty" Preyer bequeathed her magnificent collection of rare law books to the Law School. Among the many treasures in the gift were a number of books by Giles Jacob – one of her favorite research subjects. In the years since Kitty's passing, we have strengthened our collection of Jacob's works by purchasing important titles and editions as they have become available, including the work featured here.
GILES JACOB, THE GRAND PRECEDENT: OR, THE CONVEYANCER'S GUIDE AND ASSISTANT. 1st ed. London, 1716.
Jacob wrote this book to provide a model for legal draftsmen who needed to write deeds, wills and other conveyances. Unlike most of Jacob's works, this one appeared in only a single edition.
Our copy features a handsome full leather binding, with blind and gold ornamental tooling and an armorial crest stamped on the front and back covers. An early owner, Alexander Johnson, inscribed his name on the title page. Johnson or another early owner wrote extensive notes in the margins of the text.

For some time, the law library has focused its rare book and manuscript collecting efforts on materials that help us understand the daily life of lawyers in centuries past: how they learned, practiced and thought about the law. Key to this inquiry is an understanding of lawyers' private law libraries: What books did they own? Several acquisitions this year help us answer this question a little more fully, including the example shown here.
JOSEPH GROWDON, JR., CATALOGUE OF BOOKS BELONGING TO THE ESTATE LATE OF JOSEPH GROWDON ESQ. Philadelphia, 1738.
This handsome inventory of the law books belonging to Joseph Growdon, Jr. (d. 1738) is one of our most exciting acquisitions this year. It is a unique, completely handwritten document listing the books belonging to a wealthy lawyer and landowner from colonial Pennsylvania. Growdon owned a well-rounded library with more than 250 titles, including 60 reporters and numerous treatises, making his library one of the strongest in colonial America. Until very recently, the inventory was assumed to be lost. We are glad it surfaced, and that we can share it here.

ADVERTISING BROCHURE, THE AMERICAN AND ENGLISH ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF LAW. Long Island, NY, 1896.
First prize for amusing and resourceful legal publishing ads surely should go to the Edward Thompson Company of Long Island, New York. A few years ago we acquired the sheet music for a "Pleading and Practice Grand March," which commemorated the publication of the company's new ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF PLEADING AND PRACTICE.
That same year, the company came out with the eight-page ad brochure shown here. It heralds the arrival of the AMERICAN AND ENGLISH ENCYCLOPAEDIA OF LAW, "The Most Wonderful Law Book of the XIX Century," and boasts (outrageously) that "if all other Law Books should be destroyed, the world would have lost but little of its legal information." The rest of the brochure is taken up with a list of subjects covered in Volumes 20 and 21, "Receivers" through "Sentence," and making cost-benefit comparisons with leading treatises of the day.
The ENCYCLOPAEDIA was sold only by subscription, at a cost of $6 per volume. It eventually comprised 31 volumes. Though little known today, it remains in the collections of many large libraries throughout the United States.

The furnishings in the Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room have a colorful and storied past. The tall clock, for example, once resided at the base of the staircase in Barat House – currently the site of the Law School's Office of Institutional Advancement. Years ago, the house belonged to the Schrafft family, of candymaking fame.
The room's marble mantelpiece and gilt mirror lived in the East Room of the White House from 1912 until 1953, when President Truman renovated the space. At that time, Rep. John McCormack and Rev. William J. Kenealy, S.J., Dean of the Law School, persuaded the President that the items should go to BC.
Since then, the mantel and mirror have traveled all over Boston College together. They appeared in several of the Law School's former locations before finding their permanent home here in the Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room.
WILLIAM SEALE, THE WHITE HOUSE: THE HISTORY OF AN AMERICAN IDEA. Washington, DC, 1992.
This book includes a photograph of the mantelpiece and gilt mirror in their original location in the East Room of the White House. Before arriving at Boston College the mirror was much taller than in its present state; it had to be cut down to fit into BC's smaller spaces. The beautifully detailed white-enameled paneling shown here in the East Room was recreated in the Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room, which opened its doors in 1996 as part of the law library's most recent renovation.

POSTCARD, BOSTON COLLEGE LAW SCHOOL. Undated.
This postcard shows the mirror and mantel in one of their earliest BC homes: the Vincent P. Roberts Room at the BC Law School. Though undated, this photograph was likely taken in the early to mid-1950s, when the Law School was located in downtown Boston.

This modern-day photograph shows the mirror and mantel in its current home in the Daniel R. Coquillette Rare Book Room. It was taken by law library staff member Jason Liu.

Based on your diagram of two networks connected via IPsec, you won't have any problem with NAT at all. You're not going to NAT going from one controlled network to another... you're simply routing.
Ok. But when I use to LAN-PCs as GW for VPN, meaning that the VPN GW is behind the FW/NAT device? NAT-Traversal doens't work with FTP, IRC, SNMP, LDAP, H.323... and so on.
For the last time, your network diagram does not preclude the use of NAT-T. You are ROUTING.

text: Please Register or Log in to Remove this Advertisement! One thing I keep thinking about is how hard it is to make the transition to retirement, even in an ordinary job. I retired a bit over 10 years ago, and it was emotionally hard. I can't imagine how hard it is for a guy to hang up a great NFL career......it would be 1000 times more emotional than what I went through. In my case I couldn't stay retired, even though I'd dreamed for several years how great retirement was going to be. In my case, it wasn't so hot. I'm 10+ years into another career now, and happier than those few months that I was retired. But Brian can't go back to being an NFL player. The best he can do is just talk about it as a TV guy. I'll bet that sucks bigtime, even though he'd never admit it. For these reasons I'm willing to try and not pay attention to when Brian gets critical of the Bears. He earned a "pass" in my book, for all that he gave the team. It wasn't just his talent, but more than that - it was his heart and soul that he put into his play. This is just a phase, and he'll get over it. And we'll just remember the good stuff.

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, speaks to reporters as the Senate votes on a farm bill that sets policy for farm subsidies, food stamps and other farm and food aid programs for the next five years, at the Capitol in Washington, Monday, June 10, 2013. At rear is Sen. John Hoeven, R-ND. Officially known as the Agriculture Reform, Food and Jobs Act of 2013, the agriculture policy measure would cost taxpayers $100 billion annually with the bulk of that amount allocated to the federal food stamp program which helps low-income families buy food. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite) / AP
After months of wrangling, the U.S. House of Representatives finally managed to pass a farm bill (the bipartisan U.S. Senate bill was led by Michigans Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow). But the Houses version of the bill stripped funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps.
The SNAP program is the centerpiece of the farm bill, which also provides subsidies to farms and provides for crop insurance, accounting for about 80% of the $940 billion bill. Republicans refused to vote on the bill last month, insisting on draconian cuts to the food assistance program that would have ended benefits for about 2 million Americans, mostly the elderly, or families with children.
So this month, House Republicans (a program that left the food assistance program mostly intact passed the U.S. Senate with bipartisan support) voted on the bill, but opted not to include any food assistance funding. Boom! The GOP just saved you $752 billion.
Thats the price. The cost is something else entirely.
I like being an American. This is the greatest country on earth, and one of the things that makes us great is that we take care of people. If youre poor, if youre old, if youre sick, youve got options. That any children go hungry in this rich nation is a sin, but through programs like SNAP, weve been able to soften the impacts of poverty, especially for our most vulnerable citizens. Is it enough? No, surely not the average benefit received per day by about 1.7 million Michiganders is $1.51 per person, per meal.
Theres no way the Senate will pass this version of the bill. But for a compromise bill to pass the House, a lot of GOPers would have to change their votes. Some Republicans are saying that the SNAP vote isnt about food stamps, its about lumping this so-called entitlement in with the farm bill, and that SNAP would work best as a standalone program. Its hard to know if thats sincerity, or backpedaling.
I guess well find out.
