Small Town Texas Cops Exposed For Covering-Up Illegal Search, Filing False ChargesChris | InformationLiberation

7.VIDEO: Telemundo Busted Staging Shot at Anti-Trump Protest
8.Migrants Thank 89-Yr-Old Austrian Man Who Gave Them Euros by Robbing Him
This viral video posted to YouTube is an incredible exposé of the criminal justice system in the US. Small town cops are seen first ignorantly ignoring the law, conducting a search of a man's car without any warrant nor permission, then filing false charges against him and verbally threatening him when he protests, ordering him to "f**king leave."
That in itself is worthy of it's own video, yet the hits don't stop there. The man then films his interaction with the city's prosecutor, a despicable cretin who candidly tells him how the justice system is rigged against him and police will lie to get him convicted. When he asks to speak to the judge, the prosecutor snaps at him criticizing him for his "expectation" he has some "controlling sense" over "public entities" and has any "power over them."
He boldly squashes the myth government workers are "servants" and firmly entrenches them as rulers. It reads like a scene out of a movie where the bad guy explains how the scam is run right before he's about to kill the hero.
From YouTube:
I verbally objected to an unconstitutional search of my vehicle in Electra, Texas. Police officers Matt Wood and Gary Ellis maliciously responded by issuing me two false citations. I got a copy of the dashboard-camera video at the pretrial hearing. It showed all. City attorney Todd Greenwood demanded I give my copy of the evidence back, and tried to have me arrested when I refused.Prosecutor Todd Greenwood lost his contract with the city over the video. His contract was up for renewal, they simply opted not to renew it. No one else appears to have faced any repercussions, probably because the town is run exactly as the prosecutor explained.

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/13/12 -- AutoGrid Systems, a leader in Big Data analytics and software services for empowering utilities and end-users to control power consumption and costs, announced that its flagship application, the Demand Response Optimization and Management System (DROMS), and its embedded OpenDR Server 2.0 has been certified for compliance with the OpenADR 2.0a profile specification.
AutoGrid's OpenDR Server 2.0 is available as a standalone product or as integrated within DROMS. The cloud-based OpenDR Server 2.0 can also be easily integrated into other third party applications to provide a cost-effective mechanism for service providers to offer support for OpenADR communications in existing systems.
Certification ensures that AutoGrid's technology will be compatible with software, hardware and other technologies based on either OpenADR 1.0 or OpenADR 2.0a. Over 80 companies and organizations are members of the OpenADR Alliance.
"The OpenADR standard allows utilities and energy service providers to implement automated demand response programs in a scalable, open and economical manner," said Barry Haaser, managing director, OpenADR Alliance. "It is exciting to see AutoGrid along with the rest of our membership drive an ecosystem that will have a significant impact on how power is delivered in the future."
Demand response is the "killer app" for the smart grid, according to Federal Energy Regulatory Commission Chairman Jon Wellinghoff, and plays a vital role in curbing peak power. Historically, however, only a limited number of utilities and end-users have taken advantage of demand response programs because of the need for dedicated hardware and personnel.
DROMS transforms the market by replacing proprietary infrastructure with advanced software analytics delivered through a secure, reliable cloud-based service. DROMS cuts the cost of demand response by up to 90 percent while increasing the "yield" in electrical power by 30 percent or more. Additionally, DROMS can fine-tune power consumption continually, not just during peak power events. It has been tested to simultaneously support over one million OpenADR clients, making it the only software solution that can be deployed in large-scale rollouts across residential, industrial and commercial customers.
Existing demand response customers are adopting DROMS to supplement their current systems while small- and medium-sized utilities, service providers and commercial end-users are employing it to participate in demand management programs for the first time.
"Establishing a lingua franca that will enable devices and software platforms to communicate is a necessary next step in better energy management," said Michel Kohanim, CEO of Universal Devices, which designs integrated systems for home and commercial automation. "OpenADR creates foundation for companies like AutoGrid and Universal Devices to start demonstrating what the 'smart grid' means."
"AutoGrid's decision to embrace OpenADR 2.0a is further evidence of the value of this open standard to multiple stakeholders. As OpenADR 2.0a gains momentum nationally and internationally, companies like AutoGrid as well as utilities and ratepayers will continue to make automated demand response more pervasive and cost effective," said Dave Watson, program manager, Grid Integration Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
DROMS is the first commercial product from AutoGrid and is based on its Energy Data Platform (EDP). EDP combines a physics-based model of the grid, behavioral analytics and the petabytes of structured and unstructured data being generated by smart meters and other technologies. By examining the relationships between millions of variables in a service territory or within an individual facility, AutoGrid's services help customers manage power consumption in real time, forecast demand and develop long-range strategies.
DROMS additionally provides:
- A Unified View of All Available Resources Across All Programs. The service allows utilities to view available capacity across all customer segments, load types, geographic locations, and programs from a single dashboard.
- Real-Time load Forecasting and Event Monitoring. Advanced machine learning techniques generate highly accurate real-time predictions of individual loads, response to load shed requests or price signals.
- Comprehensive Networking and Communications. DROMS is the only system that supports communication to any device, over any channel of communication including Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI), broadband internet and cellular.
- Accessible through Public or Private Clouds. Customers also gain the benefits of enhanced security, reliability and privacy that can come with cloud-based architectures.
- Powerful Measurement, Verification, Analytics and Reporting. DROMS provides a large library of reports for analyzing and comparing event and program performance. Users can slice and dice results to gain insight into different customer segments.
"We are very glad to be collaborating with the OpenADR Alliance and its members," said Dr. Amit Narayan, AutoGrid's founder and CEO. "Demand management is one of the most effective tools we have for controlling power consumption. The mission now is to expand both the capabilities and the user base so that even small and medium facilities can take advantage of programs such as demand response and demand management."
About AutoGrid
Founded in 2011, AutoGrid is dedicated to bringing the power of Big Data, predictive analytics and Internet scale computational techniques to the production and consumption of electricity. Serving utilities of all sizes, grid operators, electricity retailers, ESCO services companies, and end-users, AutoGrid develops and markets services that both help lower costs and improve reliability of the electricity supply chain. For more, please see our website or contact us.
About the OpenADR Alliance
The OpenADR Alliance fosters the development, adoption, and compliance of the Open Automated Demand Response (OpenADR) standard through collaboration, education, training, testing, and certification. The OpenADR Alliance is open to all interested stakeholders interested in accelerating the adoption of the OpenADR standard for price- and reliability-based demand response.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Hostess Brands, Inc. has been granted approval by Judge Robert Drain of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in White Plains to proceed with the sale of its snack cake brands and other assets.
In issuing his ruling, Judge Drain said Hostess has articulated "good and sufficient reasons" for selling off its assets.
The deadline for submitting a qualified bid is March 11, and the auction for the Twinkie assets is set for March 13. Currently, private equity firms Apollo Global Management L.L.C. and Metropoulos & Co. have a stalking horse bid of $410 million for most of the company's cakes business, including brands such as Twinkies, Dolly Madison, Ho Hos and Ding Dongs. That bid also covers five bakeries and certain equipment. If no other qualifying bids are received, no auction will be necessary.
The auction for the Drake's assets, which will begin with a $27.5 million stalking horse bid from McKee Foods Corp., Collegedale, Tenn., is set for March 15, as is the auction for the Sweetheart, Eddy's, Standish Farms and Grandma Emilie's bread brands. Portland, Ore.-based United States Bakery Inc. has the opening bid of $28.85 million for the latter four bread brands.
At the auctions, participants (including Apollo Global Management L.L.C., Metropoulos & Co., McKee Foods and United States Bakery) will be permitted to increase their bids. Bidding on the bread and snack cake business assets will begin at the purchase price and terms proposed in the baseline bids, and will proceed afterward in increments of $1 million.
Judge Drain will consider signing off on the winning bidders at a sale hearing set for March 19.

Great tuna recipe! My husband loves canned tuna and this was great way to have it for dinner. I even liked it and I don't like canned tuna. I did sprinkle a little cheese on top the last 5 min. of baking for an extra flavor. Thanks for the recipe!
I made this for "Pick Your Chef" and I have to say for being so simple, it was quite good and SOOO easy to make! My 1 year old surprisingly wouldn't touch it but I thought it was yummy. I used ruffled plain chips and next time I think I'll use cream of mushroom soup w/ roasted garlic in it..Thanks!
I really liked this dish, and next time I will put mixed veges into it, and some shredded cheese. Quick, easy and economical - just perfect!
This was so good and so cheap!! A perfect college student meal. The things I did different was crush the chips and mix it in with the soup and tuna. Also used less soup so it would be somewhat crisp on the outside. Some of my pals don't like corn so I omited it and served it on the side. Will add pepper and cheese next time. So tasty!!

Landlords urged to exceed code
Relevant offers
Landlords should not skimp on seismic strengthening of buildings or it could end up costing them more in the long-term, a property consultant says.
Seismic standards are likely to increase over time, meaning strengthening work should anticipate future requirements, he said.
Brian Jones, a director of Hampton Jones, said continued research into New Zealand's seismic structure and the Canterbury earthquakes was expected to change the face of commercial property.
Owners of commercial property have already been hit with higher insurance premiums and the need to strengthen their buildings as new earthquake codes have been introduced to Christchurch. Millions of dollars are being spent by listed property trusts in this process.
But Jones rejected the belief held by some that the cost of construction in Christchurch would skyrocket in a bid to build more earthquake-resistant buildings.
Detailed knowledge and data collected on the stability of land in Christchurch meant the costs of building would be on a par with the rest of the country, Jones said. Also, the rebuild of the commercial sector was likely to occur gradually, meaning there were not as many inflationary pressures on material and labour costs, he added.
Hampton Jones, a building, surveying and design practice, had recently employed a new director, Graham Matthews, who had previously worked with the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.
Matthews had experience on the ground in Christchurch during the earthquakes.
Jones said ongoing research would bring further changes to seismic standards, which would impact building owners and occupiers.
But the actual cost of strengthening a building was not always as significant as people believed, particularly when compared with the loss of income incurred through untenanted space, he said.
"Landlords . . . may wish to go beyond meeting current minimum strengthening standards as I believe the building standards will be increased," Jones said.
New seismic research could be costly to landlords but had the potential to be of huge economic benefit to the country as Kiwis became world experts in this field.

Body of 6,500-year-old baby goes on show in world's biggest mummy exhibition
More than 6,500 years ago in Peru, this tiny baby's brief battle for life finally came to an end.
The child, no more than 10 months old, had a serious heart defect and suffered from growth problems.
After contracting pneumonia and then suffering circulation failure the sick child died and was wrapped in linen and buried with an amulet hung around its neck.
Now the baby's mummified corpse, known as the Detmold child, is to go on display in the biggest exhibition of mummies in the world.
'Mummies of the World' will display 45 mummies and 95 artifacts from 15 museums in seven countries in a show that opens today at the California Science Centre.
'The Detmold Child' a Peruvian child mummy in a remarkable state of preservation and dated to 4504-4457 BC
The Detmold Child itself is on loan from the Lippisches Landes museum in Detmold, Germany.
Another set, the Orlovits family, was with a group of mummies found in 1994 in a forgotten church crypt in Vac, Hungary.
And another on display is a 17th-century nobleman, Baron von Holz, who apparently died during the Thirty Years' War in Sommersdorf, Germany.
The mummies also include a South American woman with a tattoo on each breast and one on her face, a woman who had tuberculosis, a child who had a heart condition and a youngster with a facial tumor.
The mummies are both natural and intentional and they often come with as many questions as answers, said Heather Gill-Frerking, an anthropologist and forensic archaeologist.
The mummified remains of Johannes Orlovitz, one of the Vac mummies, is displayed at the new Mummies of the World exhibit
A visitor looks at the 18th century Hungarian mummy of Michael Orlovits
Some curators agreed to contribute
to the exhibition so that scientific tests could be conducted on
remains, said Diane Perlov, senior vice president for exhibits at the
science centre.
One mummy is that of an Egyptian woman, her arms crossed over her chest like royalty and her fists closed. Noninvasive tests revealed that in each clenched fist, she clutched the tiny tooth of a child. It was not immediately known why.
Another mummy, also from Egypt, was found to have a number of teeth stuffed in a head cavity. 'One theory is that in order to reach the afterlife, you have to be a complete body. These may have been his teeth and they needed to be reacquainted with the body.
Many of the tests - CT scans, X-rays, radio carbon dating, MRI, mass spectrometry, isotope analysis and DNA tests - were conducted as the mummies were being readied for shipment.
The mummy of an Egyptian man dated around 408 B.C
The exhibit is based on the work of the German Mummy Project, a group of experts from 15 European institutions based at the Reiss-Engelhorn Museums in Mannheim, Germany.
Beside human mummies, there is a mummified bog dog, lizard, fish, rat, hyaena, cat, squirrel, falcon and a howler monkey from Argentina.
Mystery, history and curiosity will lure what Corwin expects will be record-breaking crowds.
People are naturally curious and they often ask questions you don't anticipate, Gill-Frerking said. 'Did kids go to school 5,000 years ago? Maybe. Possibly. Probably not in the way we think about it,' Gill-Frerking said.
A 13th century mummy of an adult female from ancient Peru
People also have come to expect a lot out of DNA, she said. 'Ancient DNA questions come up a lot. It works brilliantly on 'CSI,' but it doesn't always work on mummies. First of all, it can be destructive. And it doesn't always give us answers.'
Because the exhibit is playing to a sophisticated audience, 'Mummies of the World' has ramped up its multimedia displays, allowing people to learn what a mummy feels like, view a mummified tooth under a microscope and look at a photo of a 3-D body scan, among other things.
No matter how many tests are invented, there are going to be answers that went to the grave with some mummies - such as the woman tattooed with ovals containing small circles.
'It's clearly got some kind of meaning and it had a purpose - I'm willing to bet,' said Gill-Frerking.
The show will embark on a three-year tour across the U.S.

Students, school busses make their return to area roadways
School is back in session, and area motorists have generally done a good job so far of being mindful of the added traffic volume and the presence of students, local law enforcement officials said on Wednesday.
However, drivers have been disregarding the stop sign arms of school busses when riders are boarding a leaving the bus, said Sgt. Todd Ringle, a spokesman for the Indiana State Police.
We're already receiving reports of motorists not stopping for school busses. We kind of understand for the first few days simply because people are not accustomed to seeing school busses on the roadways," he said. "But it is important to point out that school is definitely back in session, and the motoring public needs to do their part, watch for those school busses and stop when they're required."
Take our poll: 'What do you think of traffic around area schools?'
Getting vehicles to stop for school buses has been an emphasis of law enforcement the last few years. When traveling on any undivided roadway, even it is a multilane highway, drivers in both directions are required to stop whenever a school bus is stopped and its sign is deployed. If there is a median separating the roadway, all motorists traveling behind the bus in the same direction are required to stop. Ringle also reminded drivers that state law mandates that busses come to a complete stop at all railroad crossings.
In Warrick County, he reminded motorists the speed limit on Indiana 261 near Castle High School has been further decreased when students are coming and leaving school grounds. From 6 to 9 a.m., and 2 to 5 p.m. the speed limit on that road is 40 mph. In previous years, the school zone speed limit was 45 mph, Ringle said.
Evansville Police Sgt. Jason Cullum said Tuesday that there have not been any major problems yet with back-to-school traffic. However, he noted that police will have an added presence around schools for the next few weeks and will station officers throughout the year in school zone areas to monitor traffic.
One of the most important things to remember because students are back in school is that there will simply be more vehicles on the roads that are used to go to and from schools in the mornings and afternoons, said Dave Wedding, the Vanderburgh County Sheriff. Wedding urged motorists to be aware of that
"There's more traffic on the roadways. We have thousands of kids who commute to school everyday day so when school is not session you can get to work a little quicker. But now you have all these buses on the road, and you've got a lot of parents on the roads (too)."

I have had a serious problem with creative blockage. I bought the set of three books in one and it has so far at least gotten my pen moving, though I am not happy with what I have written. I would be happy to start a sort of support group/ study that we each check in here with our insights. She suggests that in the book (the support group)
So how it would work wwould be that we pick a day to check in, say Monday perhaps. We are responsible for reading the chapter and doing the exercises and check in on the next Monday.
I am game, anyone else? I am on the 3rd chapter, but would gladly go back and start over
I am going CRAZY with my lack of creative juices, it seems that I can only write well when I am gong through a tough period, such as heartbreak.
What do you think?

For the past few months, Frank Cho has talked in semi-veiled fashion about his plans to return to creator-owned comics, and earlier this week he put a name to it. On his website ApesandBabes.com, the artist announced two series he plans to launch 2015, as well as eight additional projects he'll roll out over the next four years.
Cho's formal return to creator-owned comics is targeted to begin next spring with World of Payne, which the artist has described as a "quirky adventure story with heavy doses of comedy and horror." Cho created this series with Thomas E. Sniegoski, and previously revealed his designs for the book's unique reptilian monsters.

Paris Hilton's Home Intruder Pleads Not Guilty to Felony Burglary Charge
The man who sparked a panic at Paris Hilton's home in Hollywood last week by attempting to break-in while the socialite was sleeping has pleaded not guilty to a felony burglary charge. Nathan Lee Parada entered his plea in Los Angeles on Friday, August 3 and is now scheduled to return to court on September 15 for a preliminary hearing. He is expected to remain behind bars until then.
Parada was arrested by police outside Hilton's home on August 24. She tweeted about the incident, writing "So scary, just got woken up to a guy trying to break into my house holding 2 big knifes."
Since that incident, Hilton herself has landed in trouble with the law after she was arrested in Las Vegas last Friday, August 27 and charged with cocaine possession.

I encourage you to come inspect the car in person. I'm at zip code 29410 in Charleston, SC. I have it for sale locally for $13,500
Question? Please ask.
There has been little news about Ford's China-focused Escort concept since debuting at last year's Shanghai Motor Show, but the no-frills sedan has shown its camouflaged face again during cold weather testing in Northern Sweden. While far from a guarantee, the test location might hint that the Blue Oval plans to market the car outside of Asia.
The Escort's black robe and zebra paint make it hard to tell if anything specific has changed about the design, but the shape of the sedan looks close to what was shown in Shanghai. Under the disguise, you can still make out the hexagonal front grille from the concept. When Ford announced the model, the company said that the design wasn't supposed to be "arrogant or pretentious," and it certainly achieved that. The engine range is still a mystery, but it seems safe to expect small, economy-focused powertrains.
A report from last year indicated that Ford may be considering broadening the new Escort beyond Asia and possibly even selling it in Europe. The fact that the company brought it to Sweden for testing could bolster that argument. A release date hasn't been set yet, but the automaker has promised 15 new products for China by 2015. The basic sedan could be on the road soon.
The one-man band is a rather ridiculous idea, drawing up images of one person attempting to manipulate several instruments, at once, in a vain attempt at creating music. It's usually represented by silly scenes like this. Interestingly, the concept isn't much more successful when the "man" in "one-man band" is replaced with "car," as we see in this video.
It seems that someone rigged up and edited (699 times, we might add) a Ford Fiesta, a bucket, 12 PVC pipes and the natural sounds that a car makes to come up with a song. Now, we don't recognize the tune, so we've no idea if this is a cover or an original piece. And while it's hardly Beethoven, we have to admire the amount of effort the "conductor" went to in his attempt to turn a subcompact car into a musical instrument(s). Take a look (or listen) below for the entire video.
You know who you are. There's probably a few of you reading; the ones that say, "Why would I spend $27,000 on a new Mazda MX-5 when I could get a used Chevrolet Corvette with more power." Yes, we're talking to you, used car proponents. While it is a fair argument, it's not like used cars don't come with drawbacks of their own, though.
In an attempt to put this new-versus-used argument to bed once and for all, Matt Farah of the The Smoking Tire has picked up a pair of $25,000 cars - a used, but lightly modified, 2003 BMW M3 and a 2013 Ford Fiesta ST. Naturally, there's a comparison.
Farah, as he's wont to do, does get into the nitty gritty of what each car is like to drive, and discusses the merits of used and new-car shopping. But as he rightly points out while testing the M3, "So, it is a good car. But like any used car, it really does depend on the individual car."

Going on holiday and need a trustworthy sitter to look after your pets, home and garden? We have been connecting caring sitters to happy owners since 1999.
Thank you for the email. I have already renewed my subscription. Last week I spoke to Ruth and have taken out the Australia wide option as my husband and I are travelling around Australia for 8-10 months.We're travelling in a campervan and will housesit if something comes up along the way. This has already happened as we have a housesit in Perth for 2 weeks in late April.
Hi Malcolm We've only done one house sit through Happy House Sitters so far, and it was a wonderful experience. We looked after three cute little dogs plus the garden.
I'm sure you get this all the time but I am a new user to your website and really didn't know what to expect. The whole process was really simple, we got an application within 24 hours and the couple who will be looking after our house seem amazing - I'll give you some feedback once the sit is over.
Best thing we ever did for our fur kids. When we put them into kennels while we were away they were so sad they became ill. Having a house sitter is so much better for them as they get to have cuddles, go for their usual walks and have human company in familiar surroundings.
If after your 12 or 18 month membership you don't find any homes to apply for, we will send you $30.00 cash back!
PLUS we will also give you an extra three months on your membership, absolutely FREE.

DIYers brighten up a dining room
Glen J. Beck and Brenda Festo-Beck, a director and actor, respectively, didn't have a large budget when they moved into their new home in Centereach. Luckily, Beck had experience decorating on a budget, thanks to his work as a director for the BroadHollow Theatre Company. "Brenda's an actress," says Beck. "That's how we met, working on 'The Wizard of Oz.' In a small theater, you have to do a little of everything, and I'd done some sets, and she liked what I'd done." Here's how the two DIYers combined inherited items with great finds for a new dining room for themselves and 7-year-old Christine Festo.

NYT: August target for European 3G iPhone launch
Apple plans to begin selling the upcoming 3G iPhone in some European countries by or before August, according to a New York Times report. Citing a person close to the situation, the article starts with an August target date for the release, then states that Apple wants to start selling the 3G version of the iPhone in Europe before August, when many Europeans take their summer holidays. The use of both "by" and "before" in the article makes it unclear whether Apple plans to have the 3G iPhone on the market in Europe by the beginning of August, or plans to launch the handset earlier. An Apple spokesperson contacted for the report confirmed the now-official iPhone sales arrangements with Vodafone and TIM in Italy, but declined to comment on whether Vodafone had received exclusivity in other countries, leaving the door open for more multi-carrier arrangements. Earlier today, Vodafone announced that it would offer the iPhone in ten countries by the end of 2008.

So does this mean that they will run the 2nd Generation (i.e. 2G) iPhone in Europe before turning it loose stateside? I hope not, as I'm trying to hold out for the new iPhone.
(On a side note, let's stop calling it the "3G" iphone, people. 3G only refers to the cell radio. We're really talking about the 2G iPhone, whether it has 3G cell technology or not.)

Why would they announce release plans in Europe prior to doing so for their home country?
I agree with jasonact above, that's going to create a lot of confusion down the road when the third generation iPhone is released.
Posted by Charles Starrett on May 6, 2008 at 3:59 PM (CDT)
Because 3G networks are more widespread in Europe than in the US, while EDGE is more widespread in the US than in Europe.

1 PhD Position in �Role of transforming growth factor signaling in PAH�
Job Offer Details
Job Description
Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a disease of the small pulmonary arteries, characterized by excessive pulmonary vascular remodeling leading to a progressive increase in pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR), progressive right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), heart failure, and death. The pathophysiological mechanisms of PAH are complex and multifactorial.
Currently available therapies for PAH are considered to act principally via vasodilation, and although offering symptomatic benefit and some improvement in long term outcomes, their true impact on disease progression is considered limited. The development of novel therapies that directly target the fundamental processes involved in chronic pulmonary vascular remodelling and maladaptive RV structure/function represents a key aim in this disease.
In this context, recent interest has focused on the potential therapeutic application in PAH of growth factor inhibitors. The transforming growth factor (TGF) receptors together with their ligands control various processes involved in vascular remodeling, including proliferation, apoptosis, collagen turnover, which are fundamentally involved in PAH. However, the role of TGFß1 in pulmonary vascular and RV remodeling remain to be elucidated.
The role of TGFß1 in pathogenesis of experimental PAH (monocrotaline and hypoxic models) were demonstrated. However, these models do not produce the occlusive neointimal and plexiform lesions that are observed in human PAH. The combination of the vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) blocker SU5416 and exposure to hypoxia (SUHx) in rats lead to severe PAH and closely mimic the vascular changes seen in patients with severe PAH.
Thus, the aim of our project is to investigate the TGF/SMAD/BMPr signaling pathway and the effects of selective TGFß1 inhibitor in severe angioproliferative experimental PAH and RV failure induced by combination of SU5416 and hypoxia.

A new exhibition at the New Mexico History Museum illuminates the legacy of African-American communities in our state. The show focuses on three areas: Albuquerque, Las Cruces and Blackdom—an all-black settlement near Roswell, formed around 1901. The Federal Homestead Act of 1862 caused more than 100,000 Southern African-Americans to move West to claim land and settle. Learn about immigration, family life, religion and the fight against segregation through the life stories of some fascinating individuals, such as Clara Belle Drisdale Williams—the first African-American to graduate from New Mexico State University.
