When a NASA spacecraft sets off to explore Jupiter's icy moon Europa to look for the ingredients of life, radar equipment designed to pierce the ice of Antarctica will be among the passengers.
Many view Antarctica as a frozen wasteland. Turns out there are hidden interconnected lakes underneath its dry valleys that could sustain life and shed light on ancient climate change.
Using a specially designed hot-water drill to cleanly bore through a half mile of ice, a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded team of researchers has become the first ever to reach and sample the "grounding zone," where Antarctic ice, land and sea all converge.
A National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded research team has successfully tested an autonomous underwater vehicle, AUV, that can produce high-resolution, three-dimensional maps of Antarctic sea ice.
Researchers this week published a paper confirming that the waters and sediments of a lake that lies 800 meters (2,600 feet) beneath the surface of the West Antarctic ice sheet support "viable microbial ecosystems."
The first ecological study of an entire glacier has found that microbes drastically reduce surface reflectivity and have a non-negligible impact on the amount of sunlight that is reflected into space.
I am currently in the high arctic sitting (Axel Heiberg Island, Nunavut, Canada) in a tent next to the Stolz Diapir spring site at Whitsunday Bay.
Microbiologist Jill Mikucki first saw a photo of Blood Falls during a class for her master's degree at Portland State University. It immediately captivated her.
Researchers from the British Antarctic Survey and Reading University have demonstrated that, after over 1,500 years frozen in Antarctic ice, moss can come back to life and continue to grow.

Kentucky League of Cities Executive Director Sylvia Lovely had a base salary of $307,044 for 2008, which compares with Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear at $111,945 and Lexington Mayor Jim Newberry at $120,574. (Beshear gave back 10 percent because of budget constraints, and Newberry declined a raise last year for similar reasons.)
Lovely received an 8 percent increase last year after a $7,500 executive compensation study done by Lockton Companies, a St. Louis consulting group, which compared her work to executives of private insurance companies and non-profit agencies. "We found that because they compete with other insurance companies and don't use short-term incentives (bonuses), we want to make sure they're above the mark and their total compensation is competitive," said Melissa To, a unit manager for Lockton's compensation division.
Lockton also took a look at base pay for all employees of the League — for a fee of $26,000 — and found that most salaries were competitive with those at similar groups.
The League took Lockton's advice regarding Lovely when the executive board approved the annual budget, according to executive board chairwoman Connie Lawson. Lovely's salary went from $284,286 to $307,044. Her total compensation package in 2008, including a $4,000 service award and $3,900 for an automobile fringe benefit was $315,677.
By comparison, University of Kentucky President Lee Todd has a base salary of $304,010, but receives housing, bonuses and other benefits, for a compensation package worth well over $500,000.
Newberry, a member of the KLC executive board, has asked Lawson to re-evaluate League salaries based on how they compare to Kentucky municipal salaries.
"The salaries paid to several League employees greatly exceed those paid to virtually every municipal employee and elected city official in the state," Newberry wrote in a May 27 letter obtained by the Herald-Leader under the Open Records Act.
Deputy Director Neil Hackworth has a total package of $246,994, and William Hamilton, director of insurance services, makes $225,520.
Tom Prather, a former mayor of Georgetown who is still a magistrate there, is director of the NewCities Institute, a separate civic think tank attached to KLC. He makes $165,011. All four employees have cars and gas paid for by the League.
It's difficult to compare KLC with other state leagues because they are all so different. The Ohio League of Cities, for example, is only a civic lobbying organization, while the Florida League of Cities has a much larger insurance pool. North Carolina's league provides insurance but no finance programs.
None of those organizations would reveal executive director salaries. The National League of Cities also declined to release any comparative information, saying that they don't collect it.
Some tax forms are available. The Texas Municipal League, which does not offer insurance services, pays director Frank Sturzl $225,000. He did not return calls for comment.
KLC board member and Midway Mayor Tom Bozarth says the salaries are in line with the work done, although he's never heard League salaries discussed. "Sylvia has been there for more than 20 years and has taken it from a small company to a multimillion-dollar corporation," he said. "If you want good people, you have to pay them."

Is it a bird? Is is a plane? No it's a yacht – well sort of..... Appearing recently in the International Yacht Show, it's the Focus 21 from France and it can not only sail the seven seas, it can fly over them as well. The Yacht's design is one of a giant wing with engines - a flying wing for the water.
Focus 21 France
The Focus 21 France uses the same concept, only incorporating what is essentially a flying wing design to further reduce drag.
The Focus 21 France can hold up to 15 passengers and flies in what aviators call 'ground effect,' which is, as wiki puts it, ' the reduction in drag experienced by an aircraft as it approaches a height approximately twice a wingspan's length off the ground or other level surface.' In other words, the yacht can fly twice as high as it's wingspan.
It has a range of approximate 100 km in this configuration and can carry up to 15 passengers.
It's not the first time this idea has been tried. The Russians created the Ekranoplan (or sea skimmer), and it had the advantage of being able to carry tremendous amounts of cargo – over 100 tons as it skimmed a few meters off the surface at a top speed of nearly 500 miles an hour. That's the beauty of Ground Effect
Nobody's mentioned when the first model will be completed.....

A 2-year-old died in a car crash Wednesday in Fort Myers while riding in an unsecured car seat.
Eva Daghra, of Cape Coral, was taken to Lee Memorial with serious injuries after the car she was riding in rear-ended a Lincoln near the intersection of Fowler and Market streets. She later died of her injuries.
Officers, who received the call at 7:49 a.m., later learned Daghra was sitting in a car seat in the front passenger side of a Cadillac. The car seat was not secured to the car, and she was not wearing a seat belt when the airbag deployed, according to Fort Myers Police Department spokeswoman Shelly Flynn.
No one else was injured in the crash. The driver of the Cadillac has been identified as Monique Daghra, 31, of Cape Coral. The investigation remains ongoing at this time.
Both southbound lanes and a northbound lane of Fowler Street were closed following the crash.
The Fort Myers Police Department would like to remind parents of the importance of properly using child safety seats. For more information on child safety seat events and inspection stations in your area, visit www.safekids.org. The Fort Myers Police Department also has two certified child safety seat technicians who can educate parents on the proper use and installation of car seats.

How to Read Your Future Via Your Palm?
Do you want to know how to predict your future by looking at your hand? Did you know that your attitude & personality is projected on your palm? Over here I will give you a few tips on what to know about palmistry and what your faith has to say about you. Its just amazing to read this information and how accurately it predicts your future.
The first step about reading your future through your hands is to understand what Palmistry means. Palmistry is all about interpret ting what each line/mount/shape on your hand means. In this article I will cover some of the main lines and some minor lines in your hand.
In general we look at both our hands to predict the future. The Dominant hand (right hand for a right hand-er or left hand for left hand er) which predicts your current future and what you make out of your inherited hand (left hand for a right hand-er and right hand for a left hand-er, this is the hand which has the personality you were born with).
Main Lines:
Heart Line:
Looking at both your hands, you will notice a major horizontal line that spans across your palm and lies just under the four fingers. This line deals with your heart conditions, your emotions and your love life. When reading for information you need to look at both hands and then compare them for specific information.
Head Line:
This horizontal line deals with career and your personality. It lies just below the heart line. In some cases both the head and heart lines are seen as one line also called the simian line. We will cover more on this in the later articles.
Life Lines:
This horizontal line lies under the head line and can be noticed between the index finger and the thumb. this line passes down in the form of a semi circle that encircles your thumb. Contract to popular belief, the life line does not tell you how long you will live, but instead tell you the quality of your life and the energy you have to live a good life.
Faith Line:
This vertical line lies next to the life line and is towards the opposite side to where the thumb is located. This line together with your head line defines the career.
Minor lines:
Health line, Apollo line, Solomons line intuitive line are just some of the lines. These lines are called so because it is not found in all hands and hence specifically defines the attitudes and personalities in a person. We will discuss more in the next article.
I hope you have gained a good understanding of the basics of the palm reading techniques.

You walk into a restaurant and get an immediate sense that you should leave. You are about to step onto an elevator with a stranger, and something stops you.

Notice that being with people who complain or rant a lot tends to make you feel bad, even though you're not exactly experiencing what they're going through - that's the law of attraction working its magic. When you focus on negative stuff, then more negative stuff will happen to you. On the other hand, when you focus on positive stuff, then more positive stuff will happen to you. Fortunately there is a way to manipulate the law of attraction and make it work for you: by changing your beliefs using the power of positive affirmation.

Two Christian parenting educators describe five ways we can connect with our children: physical touch, quality time, words of affirmation, gifts, and acts of service. These initiatives, when geared to the preferences of each child, make them feel loved and, thus, more receptive to guidance and redirection when needed. The authors are inspiring writers whose examples and quotes from children and parents are instructive.
"Principles Every Parent Should Understand"
Parenting advice isn't hard to find. There are thousands of books on the subject, as well as a multitude of websites. Much has also been written on the science of child development. What's been lacking, however, are sources of reliable advice that bring together the scientific research and its real-world applications.
"Valuable Information, But Lots of Citations"
Your toddler throws a tantrum in the middle of a store. Your preschooler refuses to get dressed. Your fifth-grader sulks on the bench instead of playing on the field. Do children conspire to make their parents' lives endlessly challenging? No - it's just their developing brain calling the shots! In this pioneering, practical book, Daniel J. Siegel, neuropsychiatrist and author of the best-selling Mindsight, and parenting expert Tina Payne Bryson demystify the meltdowns and aggravation, explaining the new science of how a child's brain is wired and how it matures.
"A very helpful listen!"
On The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting, Dr. Brené Brown invites us on a journey to transform the lives of parents and children alike. Drawing on her 12 years of research on vulnerability, courage, worthiness, and shame, she presents ten guideposts to creating what she describes as "wholehearted" families where each of us can continually learn and grow as we reach our full potential.
"A very good refresher, but not her best book."
Parenting is not about kids, it's about parents. If you're not in control, then you cannot be in charge. What every kid really needs are parents who are able to keep their cool no matter what. Easier said than done? Not anymore, thanks to ScreamFree Parenting, the principle-based approach that's inspiring parents everywhere to truly revolutionize their family dynamics.
Internationally acclaimed experts on communication between parents and children, Adele Faber and Elaine Mazlish "are doing for parenting today what Dr. Spock did for our generation" (Parent Magazine). Now, this best-selling classic includes fresh insights and suggestions as well as the author's time-tested methods to solve common problems and build foundations for lasting relationships.
"Best. Parenting. Book. Ever."
In this best-selling classic, child psychiatrist and coauthor of The Whole Brain Child, Daniel J. Siegel and early childhood expert Mary Hartzell explore the extent to which our childhood experiences shape the way we parent. Illuminating important research in the field of interpersonal neurobiology, Siegel and Hartzell explain how the parent-child relationship directly affects brain development, and offer parents a step-by-step approach to forming a deeper understanding of their own life stories to help them raise compassionate and resilient children.
"This book should be mandatory reading for parents and non-parents."
Based on the latest research on brain development and extensive clinical experience with parents, Dr. Laura Markham's approach is as simple as it is effective. Her message: Fostering emotional connection with your child creates real and lasting change. When you have that vital connection, you don't need to threaten, nag, plead, bribe - or even punish.

"Good content, but too short"
A tour of global practices that will inspire American parents to expand their horizons (and geographical borders) and learn that there's more than one way to diaper a baby. Mei-Ling Hopgood, a first-time mom from suburban Michigan - now living in Buenos Aires - was shocked that Argentine parents allow their children to stay up until all hours of the night. Could there really be social and developmental advantages to this custom?
"Started out interesting..."
Sh*tty Mom is the ultimate parenting guide, written by four moms who have seen it all. As hilarious as it is universal, each chapter presents a common parenting scenario with advice on how to get through it in the easiest and most efficient way possible. With chapters such as "How to Sleep Until 9 A.M. Every Weekend" and "When Seeing an Infant Triggers a Mental Illness That Makes You Want to Have Another Baby," as well as a Sh*tty Mom quiz, this is a must-have, laugh-out-loud funny audiobook for the sh*tty parent in all of us.
"Laugh out loud funny!"
Robert Kiyosaki has challenged and changed the way tens of millions of people around the world think about money. With perspectives that often contradict conventional wisdom, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage. He is regarded worldwide as a passionate advocate for financial education. According to Kiyosaki, "The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money."
"Focus on your Assets....the end"
You can go after the job you want...and get it! You can take the job you have...and improve it! You can take any situation you're in...and make it work for you!
"This is well worth listening too! Main points are."
The megatalented creator of Grey's Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder chronicles how saying yes for one year changed her life - and how it can change yours, too.
Despite constant efforts to declutter your home, do papers still accumulate like snowdrifts and clothes pile up like a tangled mess of noodles?Japanese cleaning consultant Marie Kondo takes tidying to a whole new level, promising that if you properly simplify and organize your home once, you'll never have to do it again. Most methods advocate a room-by-room or little-by-little approach, which doom you to pick away at your piles of stuff forever.
"I both love and hate this life changing book"
The Introvert Advantage dispels common myths about introverts - they're not necessarily shy, aloof, or antisocial - and explains how they are hardwired from birth to focus inward, so outside stimulation such as chitchat, phone calls, parties, or office meetings can easily become "too much". Most importantly, it thoroughly refutes many introverts' belief that something is wrong with them. Instead, it helps them recognize their inner strengths - their analytical skills, ability to think outside the box, and strong powers of concentration.
"Read the book Quiet instead"
Now in a third edition, Robert M. Sapolsky's acclaimed and successful Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers features new chapters on how stress affects sleep and addiction, as well as new insights into anxiety and personality disorder and the impact of spirituality on managing stress. As Sapolsky explains, most of us do not lie awake at night worrying about whether we have leprosy or malaria. Instead, the diseases we fear-and the ones that plague us now-are illnesses brought on by the slow accumulation of damage, such as heart disease and cancer.
"Excellent and informative"
The physics of vulnerability is simple: If we are brave enough often enough, we will fall. The author of the number-one New York Times best sellers Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection tells us what it takes to get back up and how owning our stories of disappointment, failure, and heartbreak gives us the power to write a daring new ending. Struggle, Brené Brown writes, can be our greatest call to courage and rising strong our clearest path to deeper meaning, wisdom, and hope.
"Learn to live your life with compassion, integrity and authenticity."
At its core, The Power of Habit contains an exhilarating argument: The key to exercising regularly, losing weight, raising exceptional children, becoming more productive, building revolutionary companies and social movements, and achieving success is understanding how habits work. Habits aren't destiny. As Charles Duhigg shows, by harnessing this new science, we can transform our businesses, our communities, and our lives.
"Nice! A guide on how to change"
Stephen R. Covey's book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, has been a top seller for the simple reason that it ignores trends and pop psychology for proven principles of fairness, integrity, honesty, and human dignity. Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new forward and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant.
"A true guide for life"
Readers and listeners of all ages and walks of life have drawn inspiration and empowerment from Elizabeth Gilbert's books for years. Now this beloved author digs deep into her own generative process to share her wisdom and unique perspective about creativity. With profound empathy and radiant generosity, she offers potent insights into the mysterious nature of inspiration. She asks us to embrace our curiosity and let go of needless suffering.
"Biggest Inspiration In a Long Time"
People - friends, family members, work colleagues, salespeople - lie to us all the time. Daily, hourly, constantly. None of us is immune, and all of us are victims. According to studies by several different researchers, most of us encounter nearly 200 lies a day. Now there's something we can do about it. Liespotting links three disciplines - facial recognition training, interrogation training, and a comprehensive survey of research in the field - into a specialized body of information developed specifically to help business leaders detect deception....
"About 1/4 of the book is about Lie Spotting"
Can two words give you the power to change your life? Yes they can! In the chapters of his new book, best-selling author Joel Osteen shares a profound principle based on a simple truth. Whatever follows the words "I am" will always come looking for you.
"Outstanding "
Dr. George K. Simon knows how people push your buttons: your children---especially teens---are experts at it, as is your mate. A coworker may quietly undermine your efforts while professing to be helpful, or your boss may prey on your weaknesses. Manipulative people have two goals: to win and to look good doing it.
"A Must Read Primer on Manipulation"
That the average adult spends 50 to 70 percent of their day sitting is no surprise to anyone who works in an office environment. But few realize the health consequences they are suffering as a result of modernity's increasingly sedentary lifestyle, or the effects it has had on society at large. In Get Up!, health expert James A. Levine's original scientific research shows that today's chair-based world, where we no longer use our bodies as they evolved to be used, is having negativeconsequences on our health.
"Anecdotes and suppositions; Move Your DNA better"
In Extreme Ownership, Jocko Willink and Leif Babin share hard-hitting Navy SEAL combat stories that translate into lessons for business and life. With riveting firsthand accounts of making high-pressure decisions as Navy SEAL battlefield leaders, this audiobook is equally gripping for leaders who seek to dominate other arenas.
"Succinct and impactful"
A New York Times best-selling author of both fiction and nonfiction, Anne Lamott was also the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship. As much a guide to writing as an exploration of the emotional challenges of being a writer, Bird by Bird offers a candid and often humorous look at how to tackle these varied obstacles.

"If you aren't busy, this book will make ya!"
The Real Purpose of Parenting is a series of stories and life lessons from the world of a therapist, known as The Parent Coach. Very well-intentioned, well meaning parents are at the point of crisis with their kids because their own best parenting efforts are NOT producing the children they want them to be. And there, according to Dr. Phil Dembo, lies the problem. Dr. Dembo shows simple family "turn around" strategies that reframe the real purpose of parenting and gives each family, and child, their own salvation.
"This book changed my life and relationships!!"

"Great Tips, Well Researched, but..."
Think and Grow Rich is the number-one inspirational and motivational classic for individuals who are interested in furthering their lives and reaching their goals by learning from important figures in history. The text read in this audiobook is the original 1937 edition written by Napoleon Hill and inspired by Andrew Carnegie - and while it has often been reproduced, no updated version has ever been able to compete with the original.
"It's a must."
Each day we face a barrage of images and messages from society and the media telling us who, what, and how we should be. We are led to believe that if we could only look perfect and lead perfect lives, we'd no longer feel inadequate. So most of us perform, please, and perfect, all the while thinking, What if I can't keep all of these balls in the air? Why isn't everyone else working harder and living up to my expectations? What will people think if I fail or give up? When can I stop proving myself?
"A light hearted yet affectionaly dense work."
Russ Harris offers a surprising solution to low self-confidence, shyness, and insecurity: Rather than trying to "get over" our fears, he says, the secret is to form a new and wiser relationship with them. Paradoxically, it's only when we stop struggling against our fearfulness that we begin to find lasting freedom from it.
"Some great points, and some narrow thinking."
Based on seven years of ground-breaking research and hundreds of interviews, I Thought It Was Just Me shines a long-overdue light on an important truth: Our imperfections are what connect us to each other and to our humanity. Our vulnerabilities are not weaknesses; they are powerful reminders to keep our hearts and minds open to the reality that we're all in this together.
"Good self-help book; not well-suited for audio."
Let's face it: We all know people who are irrational. No matter how hard you try to reason with them, it never works. So what's the solution? How do you talk to someone who's out of control? What can you do with a boss who bullies, a spouse who yells, or a friend who frequently bursts into tears? In his book Just Listen, Mark Goulston shared his best-selling formula for getting through to the resistant people in your life. Now he brings his communication magic to the most difficult group of all - the downright irrational.
"Should be required reading for anyone who interacts with people."
Legions of self-help authors rightly urge personal development as the key to happiness, but they typically fail to focus on its most important objective: hardiness. Though that which doesn't kill us can make us stronger, as Nietzsche tells us, few authors today offer any insight into just how to springboard from adversity to strength. It doesn't just happen automatically, and it takes practice. New scientific research suggests that resilience isn't something with which only a fortunate few of us have been born, but rather something we can all take specific action to develop.
"Excellent Book"

Mellen has created unique, lasting techniques for streamlined living, bringing order out of chaos for a client list that includes attorneys, filmmakers, and even psychologists. With Unstuff Your Life! he puts his powerful program in the hands of his widest audience yet.
"My lightbulb moment"
Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.
"Seth Should Have Quit"
By synthesizing current research in the social sciences, Schwartz makes the counterintuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress, anxiety, and busyness of our lives. He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number, have the discipline to focus on the important ones and ignore the rest, and ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make.
"The Tyranny of Pop Economics"
In his defining work on emotional intelligence, best-selling author Daniel Goleman found that it is twice as important as other competencies in determining outstanding leadership.

Chgyam Trungpa Rinpoche shows that meditation extends beyond the formal practice of sitting to build the foundation for compassion, awareness, and creativity in all aspects of life. He explores the six activities associated with meditation in action - generosity, discipline, patience, energy, clarity, and wisdom - revealing that through simple, direct experience, one can attain real wisdom.
"Learn what to do with your life's manure"
Life as an ENFP is no walk in the park. Despite the happy-go-lucky attitude they exude, only those who share the specific preference for extroversion, intuition, feeling, and perceiving on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator can truly understand the unique form of chaos that governs this type's restless mind. Embodying a profoundly strange stack of cognitive functions, ENFPs approach the world with both the enthusiasm of a child and the wisdom of an old soul.

I just started developing my own about three years ago, and I started with Legacy Pro (Fuji Neopan) just because it was cheap, and HC-110. Although I know the importance of sticking with one film and one developer, I knew that I couldn't do that until I made the rounds of exploring the possibilities. I'm just about finished with that now, having shot just about every format and most of the easily available films out there from the big three manufacturers, plus a few more. With developers, I've also checked out D76, Rodinal, Ilfosol 3, DD-X, and one-shot and replenished XTOL. My next frontier will be pyro at some point, but I've already been consolidating down my developers and settling on just Rodinal, HC-110, and D76 mostly.
I haven't done as much printing so far, so mostly I've stuck with what I've started with: whatever paper I've been able to get cheaply, developed in Ilford Multigrade. I have some unopened LPD and Dektol to check out soon. I've been completely self-taught in all of this, not discounting wonderful online resources.

Red Wings sharp in besting Penguins
Penguins/NHL Videos
Tomas Vokoun, who starred for the Penguins last postseason, allowed four goals on 15 shots over two periods in a 4-1 loss to the Detroit Red Wings on Monday at Consol Energy Center.
The Penguins are winless (0-1-1) in the NHL exhibition season.
Approximately 10,000 fans attended, even though the Pirates and Steelers each also played Monday.
Center Brandon Sutter scored for the Penguins, who next play at Chicago on Thursday.
Vokoun replaced Marc-Andre Fleury midway through Round 1 of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but Fleury has been named the regular-season starter by coach Dan Bylsma.

The UlaG protein family defines novel structural and functional motifs grafted on an ancient RNase fold

BMC Evolutionary Biology 2011, 11:273 doi:10.1186/1471-2148-11-273Published: 26 September 2011
Bacterial populations are highly successful at colonizing new habitats and adapting to changing environmental conditions, partly due to their capacity to evolve novel virulence and metabolic pathways in response to stress conditions and to shuffle them by horizontal gene transfer (HGT). A common theme in the evolution of new functions consists of gene duplication followed by functional divergence. UlaG, a unique manganese-dependent metallo-β-lactamase (MBL) enzyme involved in L-ascorbate metabolism by commensal and symbiotic enterobacteria, provides a model for the study of the emergence of new catalytic activities from the modification of an ancient fold. Furthermore, UlaG is the founding member of the so-called UlaG-like (UlaGL) protein family, a recently established and poorly characterized family comprising divalent (and perhaps trivalent) metal-binding MBLs that catalyze transformations on phosphorylated sugars and nucleotides.
Here we combined protein structure-guided and sequence-only molecular phylogenetic analyses to dissect the molecular evolution of UlaG and to study its phylogenomic distribution, its relatedness with present-day UlaGL protein sequences and functional conservation. Phylogenetic analyses indicate that UlaGL sequences are present in Bacteria and Archaea, with bona fide orthologs found mainly in mammalian and plant-associated Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. The incongruence between the UlaGL tree and known species trees indicates exchange by HGT and suggests that the UlaGL-encoding genes provided a growth advantage under changing conditions. Our search for more distantly related protein sequences aided by structural homology has uncovered that UlaGL sequences have a common evolutionary origin with present-day RNA processing and metabolizing MBL enzymes widespread in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. This observation suggests an ancient origin for the UlaGL family within the broader trunk of the MBL superfamily by duplication, neofunctionalization and fixation.
Our results suggest that the forerunner of UlaG was present as an RNA metabolizing enzyme in the last common ancestor, and that the modern descendants of that ancestral gene have a wide phylogenetic distribution and functional roles. We propose that the UlaGL family evolved new metabolic roles among bacterial and possibly archeal phyla in the setting of a close association with metazoans, such as in the mammalian gastrointestinal tract or in animal and plant pathogens, as well as in environmental settings. Accordingly, the major evolutionary forces shaping the UlaGL family include vertical inheritance and lineage-specific duplication and acquisition of novel metabolic functions, followed by HGT and numerous lineage-specific gene loss events.

I'm just looking for someone who has the same interests as me, someone I can have an intellectual conversation with and have fun!
We only live once (as far as I'm aware, prove me wrong) and I live for the moment. At the same time I take school (4. student) and life seriously.
I'm high brow and low brow and am fascinated with White trash.
I'm cerebral and an idiot. Intense and silly. Serious and seriously funny.
Silly, brilliant, political. I think that sums me up.
I'm happy to report on the oktrends, "What White People Like" I really had nothing on the list and didn't fit any category, really.
I have to add this: If you check out my profile with no picture and no information given at all, with am "empty" profile, that is really, really creepy. Happens frequently. And I think it is really inappropriate.
Really? Six empty profiles in one week?
And I'm putting my Colbert pic back up. Take it down ok! You let everyone and their inbred brother post anything.

Safest Santa Monica Neighborhoods
The crime rate in Santa Monica is considerably higher than the national average across all communities in America from the largest to the smallest, although at 42 crimes per one thousand residents, it is not among the communities with the very highest crime rate. The chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime in Santa Monica is 1 in 24. Based on FBI crime data, Santa Monica is not one of the safest communities in America. Relative to California, Santa Monica has a crime rate that is higher than 89% of the state's cities and towns of all sizes.
Importantly, when you compare Santa Monica to other communities of similar population, then Santa Monica crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Santa Monica does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.
The crime data that NeighborhoodScout used for this analysis are the seven offenses from the uniform crime reports, collected by the FBI from 17,000 local law enforcement agencies, and include both violent and property crimes, combined.
Now let us turn to take a look at how Santa Monica does for violent crimes specifically, and then how it does for property crimes. This is important because the overall crime rate can be further illuminated by understanding if violent crime or property crimes (or both) are the major contributors to the general rate of crime in Santa Monica.
From our analysis, we discovered that violent crime in Santa Monica occurs at a rate higher than in most communities of all population sizes in America. The chance that a person will become a victim of a violent crime in Santa Monica; such as armed robbery, aggravated assault, rape or murder; is 1 in 270. This equates to a rate of 4 per one thousand inhabitants.
NeighborhoodScout's analysis also reveals that Santa Monica's rate for property crime is 39 per one thousand population. This makes Santa Monica a place where there is an above average chance of becoming a victim of a property crime, when compared to all other communities in America of all population sizes. Property crimes are motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, and burglary. Your chance of becoming a victim of any of these crimes in Santa Monica is one in 26.

Here are the rest of the looks from last night's 2013 National Television Awards, held at the O2 Arena in London.
Melanie Sykes: The TV presenter wore a shimmering silver one-shoulder gown, styling her look with an elegant updo and blue clutch.
Samia Ghadie: The 'Coronation Street' actress is so much better than this Herve Leger dress is suggesting. Samia wears this dress after Nicki Minaj.
Brook Vincent: Opting for a sleek black lace strapless gown, the 'Coronation Street' actress styled her frock with an Alexander McQueen clutch. I don't think that cuff, which looks more like a sweatband, was needed.
24.01.13 Runway To Red Carpet
Ashley Roberts took to the red carpet alongside former Pussycat Dolls bandmate Nicole Scherzinger last night for the 2013 National Television Awards, held at the O2 Arena in London.
Also plying her trade in the UK as a reality TV judge, the star opted for an old Hollywood glamorous look, wearing a Rachel Gilbert Fall 2013 gown.
Her white halter gown with tonal embellishments was simply styled with wavy locks.
No jewels, no clutch and barely-there makeup completed her effortless look.

I was most disappointed by Kimberley Walsh when she took to the red carpet last night representing 'Strictly Come Dancing' at the 2013 National Television Awards held at the O2 in London yesterday evening.
This horrid Unrath Strano dress is something I would've expected Nicole Scherzinger to wear.
Her petrol-blue and black bold-shouldered frock with lace sleeves and a lace yoke does nothing for her, plus the skirt looks unfinished.
Heidi Klum needs to say 'Auf Wiedersehen' to this frock as it needed to be eliminated from the red carpet immediately.
Kimberley is, however, gorgeous from the neck up, with Theo Fennell jewels and Tom Ford shoes providing the finishing touches.

The fourth and final re-run on the red carpet at the 2013 National Television Awards held at the O2 in London yesterday evening was presented via Holly Willoughby.
The TV presenter wore a Roland Mouret 'Jarndyce' gown.
Her black elegant gown with signature origami detailing was a sublime choice for the star to showcase her famed gorgeous curves.
Making her appear taller and more statuesque, her gown features a mermaid hemline with a train.
The black was broken up with pops of red via her lips and nails, with a large cocktail ring completing her look.
You may remember that Naomi Watts wore this same body-contouring gown in a majestic electric-blue colour last year.

Re: RE: Riker's beard
A pet tribble (presumably desexed) was once known to have existed in the kindergarten of the USS Enterprise-D, it was disposed of by Lieutenant Worfs son, Alexander, during a rather bloody show-and-tell session involving his fathers batleth. Worf is believed to have skinned the creature and presented the fur as a toupee in a sign of respect to his captain. Captain Picard politely declined the gift, but his debonair first officer Commander Riker cheerfully agreed to wear it on the end of his chin.
This tradition among Starfleet officers of wearing a tribble has apparently carried through to the present day. A holoimage of Captain Kathryn Janeway, taken on the eve of Voyagers ill-fated maiden journey, shows her with what appears to be an enormous red tribble on top of her head.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama is criticizing a proposed House Republican budget, saying it would turn Medicare into a voucher-like program, cut deeply into programs such as Medicaid and increase tax payments by the middle class in order to achieve promised lower tax rates.
Asked in an ABC World News interview Tuesday whether he will propose a budget that balances in 10 years, Obama said he would not.
He said his "goal is not to chase a balanced budget just for the sake of balance." He said he wants to improve the economy and put people in jobs. "If we do that we are going to be bringing in more revenue," he said.
He said Republican House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan's budget reprises budgets he has proposed before.

FSU commitment named Under Armour All-American
Michael Langston

Talk about it in The Main Board
It's been a long wait, but the Godby Cougars (Tallahassee, Fla.) have their first Under Armour All-American. That All-American is four-star linebacker Jacob Pugh, who received his honorary jersey during a presentation at his high school's auditorium on Tuesday morning.
"Man, I just thank God for giving me the opportunity because without him it would not be possible. My coaches, team, all my teammates because this is just as much for them, as it is for me today," said the Florida State commitment. "They are the reason I have this honor. I'm doing this for my team and representing Godby."
As if there wasn't enough excitement being selected as an Under Armour All-American, Pugh is the first Cougar to ever play in the national all-star game.
"As a young kid, I watched this game on TV and wondered how could I get qualified," he said. "Earlier this year when I was on a visit, a representative from Under Armour called my coach and said I've been selected to play in the Under Under Armour game. I could not believe it, until now. I'm honored, humbled to play in the game. To be the first Godby player is big. I just want to thank all the coaches, Coach Carr, who is my linebacker coach and Coach Williams who is now at FSU. I miss him, but I'll be with him next year."
What does Pugh hope to accomplish during the game?
"My biggest thing is just to go out there and compete, but have fun. The toughest adjustment will be to just learn the plays, but it shouldn't be that hard," said Pugh. "I can't wait. I love going up against the best."
As one of 80 players selected, Pugh is looking forward to competing with the best and plans to do a little recruiting while he is there.
"Yeah, I'm going to talk with a lot of guys over there about FSU. I mean it's their decision, but I'm certainly going to throw it in there about FSU and what we are doing there at Florida State," he said. "I want to get over there in Tampa and get to know all the other players and help get some great players to hopefully play next to me."
Last weekend, his future school crushed Bethune-Cookman to move to 3-0 on the season. After watching FSU's first three games what are his impressions of the new defense under Jeremy Pruitt?
"I love that defense. It's a defense that is straight ahead and like to get to the ball and is very physical," said Pugh. "I really like the defensive scheme with Coach Pruitt because the linebackers can pass rush and drop in coverage. I can't wait to get there."
Pugh talks with Pruitt, his main recruiter, often and says the conversations are to make sure everything is going well with his season and check on schoolwork. Pugh currently maintains over a 3.0.
Pugh will join another FSU commitment Kain Daub of Sandalwood (Jacksonville, Fla.) as an Under Armour selection.

ST. FRANCIS, Wis. -- Ish Smith always has his suitcase packed. When his phone rang on the NBA trade deadline, he wasn't surprised. Not one bit. When Smith pulls on the Milwaukee Bucks uniform for the first time, it will be his fifth one he's worn in the past two years. With each move, the process gets easier for the 24-year-old point guard. "It's an easy adjustment for me, an easy transition," Smith said. "Sometimes the transition is what it is. I'm excited about this move. Each move has gotten better (for me), so I'm excited." A three-year captain at Wake Forest, Smith finished second all-time in school history in assists, averaging 13.2 points and 6.0 assists per game his senior year. It still wasn't enough to hear his name called on draft night, meaning his path to the NBA would be an uphill climb. Smith signed to play in the 2010 NBA Summer League with Houston and impressed enough in the five games to sign a multi-year contract with the Rockets. Bouncing back-and-forth fro...

Instead of dwelling on something negative, such as the Bulls being down five important players due to injuries at this juncture of the season, let's focus on a positive, like Monday's night's exhilarating NCAA championship game in Atlanta, in which Louisville topped Michigan.
I know it seems like I'm directing your attention to something other than the Bulls or the NBA in general every week now, but disregarding my love of the college game, it was the type of contest where even casual fans could get wrapped up in the drama.
From Chris Webber coming to the game to support Michigan, the first-half heroics of Northwest Indiana native Spike Albrecht and the brilliance of teammate Trey Burke --the national player of the year -- to the shooting exhibition of Louisville reserve Luke Hancock -- the tournament's Most Outstanding Player. Followed by coach Rick Pitino hilariously ducking during the postgame handshake like actual gunshots were being fired in the Georgia Dome and the injured Kevin Ware getting to cut down the net in his hometown. It was one of the more entertaining championship games in recent memory.
One can only hope that the upcoming NBA playoffs will be as exciting as March Madness, which was filled with upsets and unheralded teams advancing beyond what the vast majority of observers predicted.
The NBA postseason seeding's aren't quite set with a week and some change left in the regular season, but the playoff picture is becoming clearer, with some intriguing matchups beginning to take shape in both conferences.
On paper, the Western Conference could have more interesting first-round pairings, but in the East, many observers are quietly eyeing the Bulls as a spoiler, regardless of who they face.
This isn't college basketball and the Bulls are no Florida Gulf Coast, but I guarantee that they're a team no opponent wants to face in the postseason and if the remainder of the regular season affords their walking-wounded to be relatively healthy heading into the playoffs, Chicago could be in store for a thrilling "second season" of hoops.
On to the mailbag:
- How much success do the Bulls need to have in the playoffs to consider the season a success/not a failure?
Colin, the way a large faction of people came into the start of the season, you'd think that simply making the playoffs would comprise a successful season. When I talked to players about their expectations early in the season, they talked about trying to win a championship, but that's probably due to a combination of pride, expecting Derrick to return at some point and the fact that every team that's been a contender or is touted as a team on the rise has the same belief. Realistically, I'd say advancing past the first round would make the season a successful one and getting to the conference finals would exceed expectations, particularly considering how short-handed the Bulls have been all year.
- Can you explain the background on the Bulls' pick with Charlotte, and would they be better off keeping the pick or using it as trade bait?
Eugene, as part of the 2010 trade that sent Tyrus Thomas to the Bobcats, the Bulls received a future draft choice from Charlotte. The pick is top-12 protected in June's draft, top-10 protected in 2014, top-eight protected in 2015 and unprotected in 2016. With the new CBA, first-round draft choices -- especially those in the lottery -- have greater value, so it can be considered a significant trade asset. Depending on who is available, the Bulls could certainly include it in a deal, but without knowing exactly how strong the 2016 draft class will be, I'd hold on to it. By that time, whoever remains from the Bulls' core will be more experienced players and an infusion of high-quality youth could be in order. But as I said, if a trade for an impact player presents itself before that time comes, I wouldn't hesitate to dangle it as bait.
- Is a backup center or a young shooting guard more important to the success of the Bulls in the future?
Jim, that's a good question. Given the strides Jimmy has taken this season, I'd pencil him in as the starting shooting guard for next season and beyond, though his natural position is small forward and if Lu isn't resigned when his contract expires, Jimmy could feasibly shift over to small forward. I also believe that while the Bulls should still further address shooting guard in the offseason -- a scorer with the ability to create or a respected spot-up shooter, even if it's a bench player, will be important -- that player doesn't necessarily have to be a young player. Assuming Nazr isn't back, a center to back up Jo will also be important, but I think they'll have some options in free agency, as far as minimum-salary veteran types. If they chose to draft a center, there are also some options and if they looked at a defensive-minded big man that could make sense, as Thibs is more likely to give a young player who plays defense to his satisfaction an opportunity over a scoring-oriented player. The short answer to your question is a backup center, especially considering Jo's injury problems.
- If the Bulls could do it over again would they keep Omer Asik?
Carson, they never wanted to let Omer go in the first place, but I know what you're getting at. Nobody can predict the future, so after he took the summer off to recover from the ankle injury he suffered in last year's playoffs, the expectation was that Jo would be healthy this season. He certainly validated the Bulls' trust by becoming a first-time All-Star, but his ongoing bout with plantar fasciitis simply isn't something anyone could brace for. Seeing the season Omer has had in Houston definitely adds insult to injury, but financial considerations and luxury-tax issues aside, I tend to agree with Thibs' view that without Jo's increased minutes -- a product of not having to yield playing time to Omer -- we would have never seen what Jo could do as a true featured player. Looking back, it would be nice to have Omer and because he wasn't due big money until the third year of his current deal, he could be traded before reaching his real pay day -- though it could be argued that, like Jo, if he wasn't in a featured role, his potential wouldn't be quite as evident -- but I've always believed that it's very difficult to commit to paying two players at the same position so much salary, particularly when Carlos and Taj are both under long-term deals.
- Would Derrick return just for the playoffs or do you think Thibs would require him to get his legs under him during the regular season?
Matt, I believe Thibs when he says that whenever Derrick is ready to play, he'd put him right in the lineup. Practices aren't games, but he's been going full speed for a while now, and with the first unit, so even if there was a minute's restriction, he would be immediately join the starters. Do I see that occurring? No, but stranger things have happened and if Derrick's return indeed took place in the playoffs, Thibs would be obligated to give the Bulls their best chance to win.
