Mike, Eddie, Erkin, former postdoctoral associate, Alvin Kalinda, and collaborator Yves Brun (Department of Biology) are coauthors on two papers, which recently appeared in Nature Communications and Nature that demonstrate, for the first time, the existence of peptidoglycan in the infamous pathogen Chlamydia, the cause of 1 in 10 cases of pneumonia in children and 212 million cases of the blindness-causing disease, trachoma. It was known that Chlamydia possessed the biosynthetic machinery to synthesize peptidoglycan and that they are sensitive to antibiotics (e.g.; the beta-lactams) that inhibit peptidoglycan biosynthesis. However, because Chlamydia is an obligate intracellular pathogen, the existence of peptidoglycan had never been unequivocally demonstrated (hence, the 'Chlamydial anomaly'). The FDAA and dipeptide probes, developed by the VanNieuwenhze and Brun laboratories, were used to visualize the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan in Chlamydia and may provide tools for the identification of novel agents for treatment of infections due to this problematic pathogen.

This puppy has been sold! Thanks for your interest. We are taking deposits for our next breeding which is between Walker and Violet. Please schedule an appointment to come out and visit us as we only accept deposits from those who come to meet the dogs and I.
Whiskey Creek Chesapeakes is not breeding another litter until early 2014!
We are the ONLY breeding kennel in the south that has produced multiple dogs with multiple 'higher level' titles in multiple venues!
Hunting dogs- We've got them!
Several dogs with AKC MASTER HUNTER passes. Several dogs with UKC Hunting Retriever Championship titles.
ALL dogs AMATUER owner trained!
Performance dogs- We've got them!
Several dogs currently running in AKC and UKC agility. Several dogs competing in Obedience and Rally trials.
We have the FIRST AKC titled Coursing Ability Advanced dogs!
We have a dog that competed in regionals for the PURINA INCREDIBLE DOG CHALLENGE in Dock Jumping and placed THIRD.
Conformation dogs- We've got them!
OWNER/HANDLED dogs going Best Of Breed over Specials.
All of our 'show dogs' also have PERFORMANCE and/or HUNTING titles.
Beauty AND Brains!
Whiskey Creek is a small kennel that is known for producing Chesapeakes with exceptional temperaments, good looks, and are easily trained!
ALL of our dogs have EXTENSIVE health clearances.
We currently have a male from our January litter that is looking for a home.
We had considered keeping him, but feel he would be better suited to an owner who can dedicate more time to him and his training.
This boy would make a nice companion hunting dog, a hunt test dog, performance dog or your families loyal companion.
Sire: CH Port Side's Great Xpectations MH** "Lefty"
Lefty is a five year old male who is 26 inches tall and about 105 pounds.
I had him here at Whiskey Creek during the early part of 2012 while I showed him to his AKC Championship title.
Lefty finished his Champion title by earning FOUR four point majors, three Best of Breed wins with one being over a Nationally ranked Special.
I found Lefty to be a gentle giant. A 'fun' dog that got along well with other dogs. He was willing to pick up new skills and was not sulky.
One of the reasons why I liked Lefty so much was his focus on his person and at the job at hand.
In the field Lefty has obtained his AKC Master Hunter title as well as a JAM in a field trial.
This is Lefty's third litter.
Dam: U-SJCH, U-RO3, U-CH**, Am CH Whiskey Creek's Naughty Pine CD, RE, NJ-N "Twiggy"
Twiggy is a four year old brown female standing at 23+ inches and is 75 pounds in working weight.
Twiggy was my pick puppy out of the litter as she was the puppy that would sit and stare at me asking me 'What can I do for you now?'
That attitude has carried over to her adulthood and has made Twiggy an exceptional performance dog.
Twigs time in the conformation ring was a short one! Twiggy finished her AKC Championship title with THREE three point majors and a Best of Breed win over a Nationally ranked Special!
She has excelled in all of the venues she has been entered in.
High In Trial at her first UKC agility trial, finishing her companion dog obedience title (CD) with a First, Second, and Fourth place wins, was one of the first Chesapeakes to earn UKC Rally titles (only being beaten out by her dam!), and is usually in the placements while competing in Rally.
Few kennels put the time and energy into their own personal dogs and puppies like Whiskey Creek does.
The quality of our dogs is obvious!
The quality of our puppies is obvious as well based on the reviews of what our puppy buyers say about us!

We don't pay too much attention to the sub-$200 GPU market, but with AMD and Nvidia having boards at around the $150 mark that offer features previously only found on more expensive GPUs, including multi-GPU support and GPU clock boosting (for Nvidia). These new features suddenly made these budget boards very interesting, especially when dual-card setups are taken into consideration.
Several months ago, the supreme high-end SSDs from Corsair and Samsung faced off in the Octagon known as the top of our desk area that holds drives being tested.
The free Linux operating system has been around for ages, but its inherent complexity and limited support has always relegated its use to extreme enthusiasts, programmers, and other hardcore types.
What time is it? It's time to build a PC with our Blueprints! This month, we've built three rigs at three approximate price points: Baseline, Performance, and Ultra. Baseline gets you a powerful, no-compromises rig, suitable for gaming and content creation at 1080p. Performance gets you more, and the Ultra is for those who want a killer PC.
The Crucial M500 is the company's third-generation 6Gb/s SSD, and the successor to the often-praised M4 SSD, which we named the best Bang for your Buck SSD in December of 2012 due to its well-rounded package of decent performance at a great price.
We all know that, generally speaking, buying the newest top-end part gets you the most performance. But in most cases, the premium you pay for that part covers a whole lot of other stuff as well that has no bearing on frame rates or video encoding times. We're talking about the added cost of covering research and development, product marketing, lower production yields, etc.
As much as we love ogling top-of-the-line PC hardware and fantasizing about price-be-damned rigs, we also love, love, love to stretch a dollar. Does that make us cheapskates? You betcha, if that's what you want to call someone who doesn't pay a premium when he or she doesn't have to. Sign us up!
Not all midrange motherboards are created the same. Sure, these Z77 motherboards all have a black-and-blue color scheme, and they all carry similar street prices, but differences emerge when it comes to features, specs, and performance. Which one should you pair with your new 22nm Ivy Bridge CPU? Glad you asked.
If you watched HDD prices soar after the Thailand floods and found yourself grumbling that SSDs should be cheaper, good news! Your wish has come true, at least to some degree. The hardworking souls over at The Tech Report and Camelegg have analyzed scads and scads of SSD price points over the past year and found that prices are down nearly 50 percent in that time frame, with several models now dropping below the vaunted $1/GB price point.

Lizz Winstead on Bachmann announcement and Tea Party stars: "They realize they don't have the chops"
Winstead and Matthews hashed out the Bachmann announcement and next moves for Tea Party darlings on last night's Hardball.
Lizz Winstead went on MSNBC's Hardball last night to opine on the big announcement from her fellow Minnesotan and favorite punchline: Michele Bachmann.
See Also:
- Michele Bachmann: A history of crazy, homophobia, and lies
- Bachmann won't run again: Top 10 tweets
- Michele Bachmann's 2003 Christmas letter reveals life before Hardball
The show opened up with host Chris Matthews wondering just what Bachmann had accomplished in her time on the Hill. "My problem with her is, I'm not sure she was ever good for anything," he said. "That she ever did anything for the country."
David Corn, editor at Mother Jones and MSNBC analyst, echoed the thought. "Someone asked me what would be the impact of this decision of hers, and the answer is, not much," he said. "She was not truly a player on Capitol Hill." (It's true: According to our 2011 analysis, "She's authored bills that not a single other lawmaker will cosponsor; she's sponsored the exact same failing bills over and over again; she's entered bills on obscure or trivial topics").
She did, though, "represent a slice of the American electorate," Corn continued. Which slice? "People who don't believe in evolution," Corn said. "People who do worry that Obama is a socialist dictator that's going to put people in re-education camps. She represented this very paranoid right wing fringe."
After turning over Bachmann's record, Matthews panned out to look at the state of the Tea Party and its stars. At this point, Winstead jumped in.
Our May cover star was fresh from a day of celebratory tweeting (and flight-changing) over Bachmann's news. So when Matthews asked her whether the congresswoman's exit is part of a trend of Tea Party Republicans -- like Sarah Palin and Jim DeMint -- leaving elected office, she was chomping at the bit to quip back.
"I think there's nothing more brave and patriotic than looking at something when it's really hard and quitting," Winstead answered. "I think that they look at their own intellectual heft and realize they don't have the chops, and so they've got to get out. You can't tell me that a Sarah Palin or a Michele Bachmann or a Jim DeMint has the chops to look at the financial crisis we're in, jobs, what's going on in foreign policy, and that they are the ones who can fix it... and so they have to back out. I think they realize that they absolutely don't have the skill set."
When Matthews countered that maybe that means these pols are humble, Winstead knocked down the idea. Later in the segment, she added: "When a fly swatter is fine, they always use an anvil. They never look at a problem with any kind of nuance."
Included in the discussion was the Washington Post's Dana Milbank on why Bachmann's departure could be good news for Republicans.
"She's not leaving just because she's tired or there's an eight-year term limit," Milbank said. "She was going to lose her election next year! She only won by 1.2 percentage points last time, in a pretty good Republican district. Now the FBI, the FEC Ethics Commission, are all looking at her presidential campaign."
"It suggests that even in a Republican district people will reach a point where they've had enough of this," Milbank continued. "And that's possibly good news for the Republican party and for everyone else."
Here's the 8-minute segment on the Tea Party's stars:
And here's 15 more minutes of Hardball on Bachmann:

Affordable Care Act Navigators Bypass Glitches

In 2006, there were huge problems when the federal government began offering new prescription drug benefits through Medicare, and millions of people failed to be enrolled properly. "It was almost a massive failure," she says, but the system made it through the rough patch.
"This is really no different," she says. "When you have a brand new program, I don't care whether it's government or business, it doesn't roll out without glitches."

Although the steering and suspension system of a car are very important components of the vehicle, most drivers really don't know much about these things. Most drivers just take for granted the functions of the different parts of their car. In most cases, as long as their cars don't really have some major breakdowns, a lot of drivers really don't bother to acquaint themselves on how the systems of their car works. Why is it important to know how the systems of your car work? There are times when you need to make necessary trouble shooting in your car. If you have some ideas on how the systems of your car work, then it would be easier for you to figure out what is wrong with your car.
When we talk of suspension in your car, we are talking about the springs located in the front and the rear of your car. These springs suspend the "sprung" weight of the vehicle and absorb shocks when you go through some rough surfaces. All trucks and cars have suspension systems that are composed of such components as the sway bars, the shocks and the struts. The suspension system has two main functions; to keep the car firmly on the road and to give you a comfortable ride. On the other hand, the function of the steering system is to let the driver control the course of the car through the steering wheel.
It is very important that the systems of your car are functioning properly. Malfunctioning car systems can often lead to accidents that could cause a lot of damage and possible loss of lives. To be sure that the systems of your car are functioning as they should, one should only go for cars that are proven to be safe and comfortable on the road.
Currently, Ford Motors is one of the companies that have been trusted by clients all over the globe when it comes to cars. For many years, Ford Motors have proven beyond doubt that they only produce vehicles that are reliable and that the state of the art car engineering technology of the company makes its products both safe and comfortable. Ford Motors are known as one of those companies that do not compromise on quality. The good news about Ford Motors is that it does not only produce very reliable cars, it also provides state of the art spare parts for its cars.
Wherever you are around the world, you can always find genuine Ford Motors auto parts in many authorized outlets around the globe. You can even find some of these authorized dealers online where you can order the parts you need and have them shipped to your location.

Dyson Houses
Choose a Dyson House and you'll have a home for your interests waiting for you when you arrive on campus.
What are the Dyson Houses? Think Harry Potter houses or fraternity/sorority houses, but only in virtual terms and without magic. Each "House" is organized around a common theme, and will offer you a wide variety of intellectual, cultural and social activities to enhance your Pace experience. Don't worry, there are no grades involved, no particular courses or majors required, and you can change Houses if your interests change. Some Dyson Houses have floors in Maria's Tower or 182 Broadway, but whether you are living on those floors, elsewhere on-campus, or commuting, you can belong to a Dyson House.
New York City Houses
The Dyson Houses are not particular buildings, but four of the six NYC Houses offer a floor in one of our two freshman residence halls. Each "House" is organized around a common theme, and will offer you a wide variety of intellectual, cultural and social activities to enhance your Pace experience. There are six Houses, each containing roughly 100-125 first-year students plus some upper-class students. Each House has a faculty "don," and peer leaders to organize events and give guidance. Housemates meet during orientation, by email and Facebook, on their floors and at events. During the academic year, general Dyson House events and House-specific events — trips, plays, speakers, and gatherings — are planned every week.
Read more about each New York City House:
- ACE (Asian American Culture Enthusiasts) House
- Foodies House
- Cinema House
- GO! (Great Outdoors) House
- Gotham House
- One World House
Ready to choose your House? If you wish to live on one of the 4 House floors (for Foodies, GO!, Gotham, and One World), you must also submit that request to Housing.

Best Actress (2006)
Shannon Emerick
Given her bookishly shy demeanor and a willingness to step back and let others shine under the spotlight, Shannon Emerick hardly seems like much of a star. Yet when she moves across a stage, something in her deeply intelligent gaze takes over. It's difficult to take one's eyes away from her face, as it's so full of contradictions and subtle hues of emotion. Gentle and mesmerizing as ever, Emerick stole the show in Main Street Theater's production of Wondergirl, a profoundly sad tale about a woman who loses her daughter in the neonatal unit before ever taking the child home. As the plaintive mother, Emerick turned what could have been a maudlin melodrama into a thoughtful examination of the sometimes contradictory nature of modern medicine and the human heart. Emerick's quietly intelligent and intensely moving performance captured a profound truth in this ordinary tale. And when the lights came down, all we could do was weep for the mother she created.

How Alamo, TN Watches TV
Here are just a few nuggets of cable TV knowledge relevant to Alamo. For starters, a third of Americans own four or more TVs and all but 3% of people still watch regularly broadcast TV. In addition to that, 72% of U.S. TV subscribers bundle digital television with a high-speed Internet service. Which is one reason why nearly 48% of people stream some of their TV online. In Alamo, that means there are 729 people with multiple televisions, 2,142 people watching scheduled programming, 1,590 bundling their cable services and 1,060 of those bundlers who stream TV online.

The Excellence of Execution. The Best There is, the best there was and the best there ever will be!
Looks very cool. The shading on Bret looks perfect.

Great wrestler and one who pushed others. Sad how they screwed him at the Montreal WM.
Great wrestler and one who pushed others. Sad how they screwed him at the Montreal WM.
It was the Survivor Series where they screwed him. He already signed with WCW at the time and McMahon was not going to let him to go to WCW with the WWF Championship like Rick Flair did with the WCW Tittle...In all he is my favorite technical wrestler next to Shawn Michaels
From Calgary, Alberta, Canada, Weighing 234 Pounds, Bret "Hitman" Hart!
All These legends are my Favorites of all time and I have a lot more to paint. Thanks for the Ring Announcement.
At first glance I thought this was an SvR character model!

This seems very speculative - a lot of what ifs, such as Ford thinks it can win the appeal, Ford has provisioned for this (is this really covered on the books), Ford's valuation is only nicked by 50 cents (gee, it's down to $12.95 from over $18 already). No, this is very difficult news for a company that may have already had its major run. Competition in the industry is keen. More companies will emerge in Asia and the sub-continent. Ford's cars are costly. Recalls will be inevitable as Ford and GM are affected by pressures to build more for less.
This is news to most and wasn't even mentioned at the ijvestors meeting recent meeting. Investors sahould have full disclosure from companies.. Truck Dealers have made a lot of money selling trucks but are being greedy as is the company. The investos are getting hurt and ford mgt and dealers nade millions and its time to let the investors make theirs
Maybe it's best to simply say "goodbye" to the lot of you -- gov't bank and private bank, what's the difference, after all.
F has been a decent ride off of mid $1.00s and $2.00s.
Sell and move on now.
It's a global world, and a big country.
Those with some savvy, talent, work ethic, and especially integrity can, though challenging, move on, and take their efforts and hopefully compatible abilities elsewhere.
You don't think $2B out of $165 B revenue is just a gnat bite? Huge over-reaction based only on this news. It won't affect F for a while, if much at all, and certainly not in a large lump sum in a given year. RE Asia, Ford is building Asian cars for Asians in Asia at Asian prices. 'Nuff said. There will be significant revenues added from these ventures.

Three New Flavours Out Today
2012 Dingle Wren
A West Kerry Forage
There are all sorts of tasty things on bushes at this time of year, and my mother suggested I do something with Sea Buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides). A friend of hers had them in abundance, and so we went out to harvest the little berries.
I cooked them with a bit of sugar, blended them, and then strained it to remove the seeds.
The beautiful orange berries have a remarkable taste, extremely tart and nicely earthy, but it takes a lot of work and patience (the berries are tiny, and the black seeds inside them are very large). In the end I had only a small amount of coulis.
An hour's picking with two people didn't provide enough for a single batch of ice cream, and only about 400ml of the delicious coulis. If you have some around, it could be a great touch for a dinner party, though…

There is nothing good about the Newtown, Connecticut shootings. President Obama said what I thought my president should have said and the way I wanted my president to have said it in his remarks there last night.
I am no longer worried about my son. But my son is worried about his two little girls. They are not yet old enough for school, but sending a seven-year-old to school should not be a cause to worry all day that he or she will come home safely.
Unfortunately, the level of untimely deaths in America may lead those who are, at a minimum misguided, and at a maximum mentally unstable, to believe that violence is an acceptable way to show one's unhappiness.
First, there are the gun laws. I am a member of the NRA but I am not an expert in gun laws. I do know that gun laws already in place are unevenly enforced, if they are enforced at all.
Maybe we need new laws. If so, I hope someone will show how Newtown would have been prevented had those new laws been in force.
A congressman said on Friday night that 9,000 people in America were killed last year from gunshot wounds. I have no idea whether that is true or not, but if it were half that number; or one-tenth of that number it would still be too many.
There are also too many unnecessary deaths in America from other causes.
In 2010 almost 33,000 people were killed in car accidents; about a third of those involved drunk drivers. Half of that number; or one-tenth of that number would be too many.
I understand that very few drivers - drunk or sober - set out to use their vehicle to purposely maim or kill someone, so I am not making the impossible claim of equivalence to Newtown. What I am saying is that even with an entire generation of intense focus on wiping out drunk driving, 10,000 Americans died in one year due to the actions of impaired drivers.
Far too many of those impaired drivers are teenagers who got their hands on alcohol or drugs illegally.
Want more? According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 443,000 deaths per year are the direct result of cigarette smoking. About 44,000 die from the effects of second-hand smoke.
The CDC says that every day about "3,800 people younger than 18 smoke their first cigarette," so just under 1.4 million new smokers are headed into that statistic every year.
Nobody walks into a grammar school and blows cigarette smoke into classrooms to kill children, so I am not claiming equivalence there, either.

I was in The Mespil hotel just for 2 nights, because of a business trip to Dublin... The Hotel is quite standard, no 5 stars, but nothing terrible either.
