EbolaŌĆÖs ŌĆśFistŌĆÖ: U.Va. Unlocks How Deadly Virus Smashes Into Human Cells
UVA Today, May 30, 2014 ┬Āby┬ĀJosh Barney
Lukas Tamm
Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered how the┬Ādeadly Ebola virus punches its way into the cytoplasm of cells. The finding identifies an┬Āimportant target for blocking the infection process of this incurable disease that many fear┬Āmay be used for bioterror.┬ĀOutbreaks of this extremely dangerous, highly contagious virus are now under way in the┬ĀAfrican countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Ebola kills up to 90 percent of┬Āpeople who contract it. In addition to the toll on human life in the areas already affected,┬Āthere is significant concern that it could spread elsewhere around the world, so finding┬Āways to combat it is a global priority.
Understanding Ebola Infection
U.Va.ŌĆÖs new discovery offers important insight into how the virus works its way into cells.┬ĀAfter the virus is engulfed by the cell, it is contained within a vesicle where it can do no┬Āharm. But Ebola quickly escapes the vesicle, and now scientists understand how. U.Va.┬Āresearcher Lukas Tamm of the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological┬ĀPhysics and his team discovered that the pH level inside the vesicle triggers the surface┬Āglycoprotein on the virus to form a ŌĆ£fistŌĆØ that lets the virus punch its way into the cellŌĆÖs┬Ācytoplasm, where it can effectively turn the cell into a factory for virus production.
ŌĆ£If it stayed in the vesicle, it would be not much of a problem. The cell could digest it,ŌĆØ┬ĀTamm said. ŌĆ£But then it escapes from that internal vesicle into the body of the cell, and┬ĀthatŌĆÖs when the danger happens. It does that by fusing its own membrane with that cellular┬Āvesicle membrane, and that lets the RNA of the virus out into the cell to replicate, to┬Ābasically cause havoc in those cells.ŌĆØ
Unclenching the Fist
Ironically, when the virus approaches a cell, what becomes the fist looks more like an┬Āoutstretched hand. The U.Va. research explains how the virus forms its fist and identifies┬Āamino acids within the virus critical for the clenching to occur. ŌĆ£If you lose those,ŌĆØ Tamm┬Āsaid, ŌĆ£it would always be in the extended hand formation.ŌĆØ
To test his findings, Tamm turned to the School of MedicineŌĆÖs Judith M. White, a┬Āresearcher in the Department of Cell Biology who has developed virus-like particles that┬Āact like Ebola, but pose no danger in the laboratory. Working with those particles, they┬Āwere able to verify TammŌĆÖs hypotheses about the fist-clenching process held true not just┬Āin test tubes, but in live cells. Then they took the work even further, enlisting Dr. Peter M.┬ĀKasson of the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics to create a┬Ācomputer model of that process. The result is a remarkable new understanding of Ebola┬Āinfection.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a very nice collaboration between structural, cell and computational biologists that┬Āshows how beneficial it is to have all these different areas of expertise here at U.Va., so┬Āthat we can tell more of the whole story,ŌĆØ Tamm said.
By understanding that story, researchers are a significant step closer to being able to stop┬ĀEbola ŌĆō and perhaps other viruses with similar structures as well.
ŌĆ£Once you have visualized the molecular shape changes that these structures undergo┬Āupon cell entry, you can see what molecules or potential anti-viral drugs could interfere┬Āwith this process,ŌĆØ Tamm said. ŌĆ£You have these contacts that need to be made to make┬Āthe clenching of the fist happen ŌĆō if you could find a molecule that throws a wrench into┬Āthe gears of that mechanism, you could actually block that from happening.ŌĆØ
Discovery Detailed
The researchers have detailed the fist-clenching process in a paper published by the┬ĀJournal of Virology. The articleŌĆÖs authors are Sonia M. Gregory, Per Larsson, Elizabeth A.┬ĀNelson, Kasson, White and Tamm.

New Publication from Dr. Zimmer's Lab-Congratulations!
Congratulations to Dr. Zimmer, Jacob Morgan and Joshua McNamara for their recent publication in Nature Structural and Molecular Biology. In this paper they describe how the bacterial signaling molecule cyclic di-GMP stimulates the biosynthesis of bacterial cellulose. Zimmer and colleagues crystallized a complex of c-di-GMP with membrane-bound cellulose synthase and by comparison with their previously published apo-enzyme (Nature 493:181) found an allosteric mechanism of catalysis. This work represents the first molecular description any c-di-GMP-activated enzyme.

Michael Wiener's Lab in the News: Protein structure discovery could lead to better treatments for HIV, early aging
Dr. Michael Wiener's Lab has been in the news and on the news, focusing on exciting developments. Click HERE to see the video from NewsPlex
From the University's PR department:
By Josh Barney, Lead editor, University of Virginia Health System
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March 29, 2013 – Researchers at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have determined the molecular structure of a protein whose mutations have been linked to several early aging diseases and side effects for common HIV and AIDS medications. This breakthrough could eventually help researchers develop new treatments for these early aging diseases and redesign AIDS medications to avoid side effects such as diabetes.
UVA Center for Membrane Biology researchers Peter S. Horanyi, PhD, Edward E. Pryor Jr., PhD, and Michael C. Wiener, PhD, collaborated with groups from the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute and the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry to determine the molecular structure of the enzyme Ste24p. Their Membrane Protein Structural Biology Consortium is funded by the National Institutes of Health Protein Structure Initiative, which supports the determination of molecular structures of biomedically important target proteins.
Their findings were published March 29 in the journal Science.
The nucleus of a cell is lined with a mesh-like structure called lamin that serves as a scaffold for maintaining nuclear shape and function. Lamin requires the action of another protein, called Ste24p protease, which removes specific parts of the lamin filament and enables proper assembly of the mesh. The research team determined the structure of a Ste24p protein found in a close relative of baker's yeast, whose properties are interchangeable with the same protein found in humans.
The experiments required to solve the structure of Ste24p were performed remotely at the Advanced Photon Source, part of the Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago. UVA funds access to the laboratory, Horanyi said, to enable researchers to use specialized X-ray crystallographic capabilities available through the South East Regional Collaborative Access Team at the Advanced Photon Source. Working from Charlottesville, UVA researchers can log onto a computer program to remotely control the robots to perform research and to collect data. "It's like using a web application," Horanyi said.
In humans, improper processing and assembly of lamin lead to a group of diseases known as laminopathies, which include muscular dystrophy, cardiomyopathies and a collection of rare accelerated aging diseases in children called progerias. The research team focused on Ste24p, Pryor said, because defects in this protein in humans are responsible for a number of progerias.
In addition, some frequently used HIV and AIDS medications utilized in Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) also interact with Ste24p, altering how patients taking the drugs metabolize fat and leading to treatment side effects that can include insulin resistance and diabetes, Pryor said.
Knowing how the protein is structured could aid researchers in developing drugs to treat progerias and could assist in the redesign of HAART medications to avoid the treatment side effects, Wiener said.
Pryor noted that Ste24p is a biomarker for normal aging in humans – as humans get older, this protein works less effectively. "So this mapping could provide insight to researchers into the aging process for humans," he said.

The pink color is the "smoke ring." This is an indication of true slow-smoked BBQ. It's what gives our meats their distinct flavors. Even with a pink ring, our meats are fully cooked, always.
We were born out of the love of the great city of New Orleans. We chose the name "VooDoo BBQ" because it's easily remembered, hard to forget, and is a novelty for New Orleans visitors and locals alike.
Like parts of the city itself, it's something new built on a very old foundation. BBQ, or meat slow-cooked over flame or hot coals, has been around as long as people have. Virtually every culture has some version of it, whether they call it "barbecue" or not. From pulled, chopped, and sliced pork in the Carolinas to Memphis-style ribs to barbecue brisket in Texas.
New Orleans-style BBQ builds on all of these traditions with flavors, accents, and complementary side dishes that inject the life and flair of the Crescent City into every meal. For instance, our St. Louis-style ribs are perfectly seasoned with a dry rub that contains hints of the Caribbean—a strong influence in New Orleans. All of our meats are served naked (without sauce) with the option of adding any combination of our Mojo, Cane Vinegar, or Mango Crystal Sauces—the last flavored with Louisiana's legendary Crystal Hot Sauce. Our Rattlesnake Beans are spicy with a hint of smoke. All of this is New Orleans-style BBQ and you can top off a meal at VooDoo BBQ & Grill with our White Chocolate Bread Pudding—a true New Orleans treat.
"New Orleans-style" has a flair and flavor that turns a visit to a VooDoo BBQ & Grill into an experience. That's why we've designed our stores to incorporate Crescent City touches, like lanterns, murals, and ornate trim that resembles the wrought iron railings found in the French Quarter. It's why we look not just for competence and drive in our employees, but a sense of fun and personality that can bring smiles to our guests' faces. We want each trip to a VooDoo BBQ & Grill to be like a mini-New Orleans vacation, a time when you can loosen your tie (if you're wearing one), and laissez les bon temps rouler—let the good times roll!
Just take the first step, visit our franchise website or call 877-902-4BBQ (4227) to find out more.

How to Rehydrate Cigars
One Methods:Other MethodsCommunity Q&A
Re-hidrating a cigar is like skinning a cat; there are a million ways to do it and everyone has their own idea as to what is best. Below, you will find the cheap-o way.Remember that not all cigars are equally de-hidrated. So be sure to not over-hydrate your cigars or you will be unsatisfied with the draw and overall experience of your cigars.Also, remember that cigars have natural oils. When dried out, they might never be like they were originally again. Therefore, keep in mind that while a cigar can be re-hydrated, it will never be as good as one that didn't need this process.
1Put a little tray in the bathroom with the cigar on it
2Take a hot shower
3Every time you take a hot shower, turn the cigar around
Other Methods
1In a humidor. There are generally areas that are more humid than others. You can tell because some cigars will be more humid than others, generally, it is the top area of the humidor that is most humid. Put your dehydrated cigars there, and turn them around every day. It will take a month to do it this way.
2In a plastic baggie. If you don't have a humidor, and live in an environment where there is moisture in the air (i.e. not the desert), then put the cigar(s) in a zip lock baggie that isn't fully closed. Put it on a shelf and in two or three weeks it should have gained enough humidity to be usable. Make sure to rotate your cigar(s)
3In a potato humidor. Some people use an ice box with a potato as a humidor, this should also work to re-hydrate your old cigars.
4Hot showers? Ridiculous. The idea is to get the tobacco at the very center of the cigar equally hydrated as the outside tobacco. That either takes time (a month has been suggested) constantly sitting at the proper temperature and humidity, or some sort of infusion. If you just overly hydrate the outside of the cigar hoping to speed moisture absorption by its insides, you're obviously going to achieve an overly hydrated cigar on the outer areas, causing poor burning, and you risk mold formation. Just cut the cap off, and breath through the cigar at both ends (exhale through it for humidification, inhale through it for dehumidification--assuming the surrounding air's humidity is dryer than the cigar's current state). Not pleasant, but it's the only way I know to quickly reach the entire cigar in a relatively uniform manner.

The curriculum is avowedly and manifestly a social construction. Why, then, is this central social construct treated as such a timeless given in so many studies of schooling?
(Goodson 1992:66)
Dominant social and cultural groups have been able to establish their language, and their knowledge priorities, learning styles, pedagogical preferences, etc., as the 'official examinable culture' of school. Their notions of important and useful knowledge, their ways of presenting truth, their ways of arguing and establishing correctness, and their logics, grammars and language as institutional norms by which academic and scholastic success is defined and assessed.
(Lankshear et al. 1997:30)
This chapter is written in the belief that beginning geography teachers should have an opportunity to reflect upon the history of Geography as a school subject. As the quotation from Goodson (1992) at the head of this chapter suggests, too often the Geography curriculum is simply presented as a given. It is written down and that's all there is to it. Lankshear et al.'s (1997) comment reminds us of why we should delve a little deeper into how the geography taught in schools came to be accepted as common sense. He suggests that there is nothing 'natural' about what goes on in school geography. Instead, what counts as geography reflects the interests of powerful social groups.
The first part of this chapter offers an account of the development of school Geography in Britain which stresses that the definition of what is to count as Geography has been a matter of struggle and conflict. Many accounts of the development of school Geography in England and Wales tend to take the form of 'uncritical narratives' (Ploszajska 2000), which chronicle the 'progressive evolution' of the discipline and the institutions that sponsor it. Writing about the development of Geography as an academic subject, Livingstone (1992) argues that these accounts are 'in-house reviews of disciplinary developments for the geographical

It's time the US eased the ban on gay men giving blood
Campaigner Michael Kevin Hernandez wants more gay and bisexual men to have the right to be superheroes and give blood
When was the last time you thought about being a superhero and saving a life?
When I ask people, 'Who is an everyday superhero?' you might answer a firefighter, police officer, doctor, those in the military who serve our country. But we can all potentially be a superhero. You may already be one and not even know it, because you can donate blood.
Each time we donate blood we can save up to three lives. Someone who has suffered a car accident can use an average 100 pints of blood. At that moment when you donate blood you are saving a life. That makes you a hero.
Donating blood is one of the easiest and greatest gifts we can give. However, a certain population has been denied the right to donate blood, the right to feel like a superhero, based on stereotypes, discrimination, and fear.
In the early 1980s, there was a pop up of a mysterious disease, it was first called the gay cancer, then it was renamed as the gay related immune disease, GRIDS. That scared the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and in 1983 they placed a lifetime ban on gay men donating blood. Shortly after this, the virus finally became know as HIV and the condition it can cause got the name AIDS.
At that time, given the information and technology of that day, the ban did make sense. But 30 years later, gay men are still being stereotyped as a promiscuous group that are all infected with HIV. Even though millions of people don't fit that stereotype.
As a gay man, I don't fit that stereotype. I am faced with the decision everyday to finally do what feels natural in my relationship or still keep myself eligible to donate blood. In 2003, the Supreme Court ruled to strike down sodomy laws in Lawrance vs Texas. But, the US FDA blood donor ban still penalizes an act of love between two consenting adults because of a fear that all gay men have HIV and introducing this population into the blood donor pool is way too risky.
Studies have suggested if we were to place a one year deferment from the last promiscuous sexual encounter between two men, there would be 136,000 men in the US who will be willing to donate blood and still not taint the blood pool.
That would be enough blood to fill 2.65 family sized pools.
Thus, armed with these facts, I have started a petition, asking the US FDA to remove the lifetime ban and place a one year deferral on gay blood donors. That's what's been done in six other countries – Argentina, Australia, Hungary, Japan, Sweden, and the UK.
These six countries have felt their understanding of HIV and their methods of detection of the virus has come a long way and dropping their life time ban is the reasonable, sensible thing to do.
Since, I started this petition, it has given me the strength to start a non-profit organization called All R Equal Inc, which will work on promoting a positive atmosphere for everyone, not just the LGBT community.
We all now have a chance to work together to combat these stereotypes, discrimination, and fears. Help me – tell the US FDA, it is time to look at the current state of HIV research and allow reason to lead you into allowing gay men the right to donate blood.
Because donating blood is not just a gay rights issue but a human rights issue.

I think it's funny you guys think Lemond didn't do anything…
I think it's funny you guys think Lemond didn't do anything…
14 days...
I'm still fairly confident that Sastre was clean in '08.
If not, I think Lemond was.
As for the "clen isn't real dope, so Contador is clean" story - the point is that the very small presence of clenbuterol (as well as the reported plasticizer), along with the timing (a rest day) was strongly suggestive of blood doping. That's why people think he was doping. Nobody thinks he was just taking a tiny amount of clen.
I remember LeMond being an outspoken advocate of more drug testing back in the 80's, before EPO hit the scene. Since he was actually competing at the time, that was particularly unusual for a rider to make comments like that.
In the book Bicycle Road Racing, Eddie Borysewicz claimed that LeMond wouldn't even take vitamin injections while he was an amateur at the Olympic Training Center. (Of course members of Eddie B.'s 1984 Olympic team were criticized for blood doping, although it wasn't illegal at the time.)

And it wasn't that sophisticated an era for masking use, some of the biggest names tested positive at that time for various drugs.
Do you have any sources, credible or otherwise that are contrary to this?
You're just trying to start an argument to show how smart you are.
I will never be a great cyclist though and I am okay with that at 50 years old.

Once EPO came along, it makes a big enough difference in what a person is capable of, it's hard to believe that anyone not using EPO could win at the highest level, against other similarly talented athletes who were using EPO.
Thus, just circumstantial evidence makes it possible to believe that people were winning without PEDS in a pre EPO era. It's difficult to believe that anyone was winning clean in the EPO era, particularly before there was an effective test.
You could fall off a cliff and die.
You could get lost and die.
You could hit a tree and die.
EPO boosts natural ability.
The amphetamines and such used in the 80s basically allowed a rider to ride closer to their limit but FTP didn't change all that much.
In the big races in the 80s you always had the same riders doing about the same stuff. The good guys were good, the second best guys were always one step below.
In the 90s it started to change. Odd names would pop up as big winners. Teams would claim stuff like hypnosis helped some riders (Bugno).
If anyone spent more than 30 seconds talking with Lemond, you'll know that he simply cannot filter what he says. He speaks his mind without reservation, had an incredible memory, and can be very open with stuff that you probably wouldn't talk about with non-family members in normal life.
A friend of mine has fished with him a number of times, and the questions of PEDs came up (my friend was asking - said friend is a racer who spent a very disillusioning year in Europe trying to break into pro racing in the early 80s and finished the year gluing tires for the team). Lemond told my friend that he played within the rules, but that he did what he was allowed.
I didn't know that iron supplements were illegal in some parts of Europe unless accompanied by a prescription. So a racer who was anemic could go to a country where it's legal, get some iron pills, take them, and go back to whatever country doesn't like them. I know Lemond took a shot for anemia in the Giro and did much better afterwards, getting 2nd in the last time trial. But until then he'd been suffering greatly, apparently from low iron.
I just read a long explanation on iron and blood and how iron only helps you get to your natural level. It won't help you exceed them. As the doc told me, you can take vitamins to get healthy but you can't take more vitamins to become "extra healthy". You just pee or store the excess, and if taken to an extreme, you get poisoned by excessive vitamins/iron/etc.
You know, after all of this, I'm starting to change how I feel about lemond. Maybe he was right.
For a guy so willing to believe any piece of negative info you hear about Armstrong (hey, I'm not saying this guy is innocent), even stories recounted by admitted liars, you seem pretty "open minded" when it comes to Contador's lame excuse for his doping. Let me help you with this one. Clen is illegal. Alberto Contador tested positive. He said it came from "tainted beef". To date, they have not been able to identify the source of the beef or find any additional beef from the same lot with similar clen contamination. Hmmmmm.
Clenbuterol is often used in the off-season by dopers to stay lean and there is speculation that Contador may have withdrawn blood in the off-season with clen traces, assuming the earlier use would not be detectable. This may also explain the plasticizers found in his blood.
Perhaps Alberto did not count on the the samples being tested by a German lab that was really good at identifying trace amounts of banned substances. Either that or he scarfed down a sandwich made with 3 year old beef (before the substance was banned) that was tainted with Clen and plasticizers (you know the kind found in bags for blood transfusions). Heck, maybe the "especial" beef was wrapped in a tainted plastic baggie? Just sayin...

Carlos Sastre in 2008.
"Dont argue with idiots. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".
I look at Lemond like a hero too, but i have friends that raced over there at the same time that said no one was completely clean, and even if his ex teammates saw something, more than likely they were doing it too, and would like to attest to the fact that he was not also.
either way, I don't really think many grand tour winners are clean, I think the sprinters are, cause that's a either you have it or you don't thing..
who really knows except for the individual themselves, even if, and I doubt it at this point that Lance was clean, he's still a hero to many and there's not really much to gain by outing him.
14 days...
My theory: Lemond was still depending on uppers when others when discovering EPO, and got PO'd that he was behind in the doping-arms-race.
Cyclists of the world, unite! You have nothing to lube but your chains!
The solution to doping is to have the public change their perception about what is expected or normal. Let's say right now the average time to complete a 100 mile stage is 4 hours (I am just making this up). I assume the same stage ridden in the 1930's didn't hav e 4 hour finishes. It might have taken 4:30 or 5. Or in baseball, nobody in the 1940's expected 73 homeruns from any player. They were content with 40 because that's the reality of it. That's what you expected to be the pinnacle of the sport. So if everyone stopped doping, maybe it'd take them 25% longer to finish a stage. Who cares. I already fast forward on my DVR anyway. The top athletes would still be on top.
As for anyone who believed Lance didn't dope, this about this - if EVERYONE else doped and Lance was clean, he is a superhuman. Everyone else had to dope just to lose to him.
I think Lemond's gunshot sickness was affecting him in his later years. That, and everyone on the new wonder drug epo, which wasn't illegal at the time, made winning a longshot for Lemond.
Saturday's stage of the Giro showed one of the tifosi waving a steak attached to a stick with some string in front of Contador.
Got it.
How sure are we that pre-EPO doping was helping them much? Serious question. I could drink a ridiculous amount of coffee and claim it's doping, but I'm confident my performance wouldn't go up. Heck, my doctor prescribes me medication that's banned. I'm sure that if I took it when not needed I'd get some tiny boost, but nothing that would really matter.
I have the feeling that EPO and blood doping are more significant than amphetamines.

I've had bikes that had three or four rusted spokes and I've handled it by cleaning off the surface rust, then paint the spoke with silver rustoleum. However in this instance at least half the spokes have some amount of rust on them. Painting that many would not blend in and it would look kind of strange. I want to keep the original Rigida alloy rim because it's alloy and has re-enforced eyelets. Replacing all the rusted spokes with new would be cost prohibative.
So any ideas on how to address rusty spokes without sanding and painting?
Thanks for any comments

Although most cars that are moved by a vehicle transport company are not damaged, some are. You can minimize your chances of having your car damaged by following a few simple rules.
First, it is important to know that the vehicle transportation company cannot transport your car if it has personal belongings in it. You may leave the spare tire and jack in the trunk, but nothing else. The auto transport company will also not transport a vehicle that is not in working order.
Before you ship your car, you should wash it and document its condition, both interior and exterior. You will need to remove all custom products, all removable after-market devices like video and DVD systems, GPS systems and detachable CD players. Specialty items like fog lights or spoilers should also be removed. Your toll tags or electronic systems must be removed or they could be charged as the car is transported across the country.
Your car battery must be fully charged. If your battery dies en route, you may be charged additional fees for the work the transport company will have to do to push your car off their carrier.
Your fluids should be full, but your gas tank should be at ¼ full.
Your car should not be transported if it has any leaks; get those taken care of first.
If your car has any mechanical problems the movers will need to know to move your car, write these down and give them to your driver.
Before your car is loaded onto the carrier, make sure your side mirrors are folded back and antennas are retracted, if possible. If your car is a convertible, it would be a god idea to cover the roof with a tarp to prevent damage. Make sure the tarp is securely fastened. Disengage your car's alarm or provide your driver with detailed alarm instructions. Remember, someone from your transport company will have to drive your car on and off the carrier.
You must leave your car's registration in the glove compartment, but nothing else.
Make sure you are present for the initial and final inspections, with your photos, to assess your car's final condition. Bring a spare set of your keys, just in case the keys you gave the transport company are misplaced.

'Honours' school student turned to crack dealing, court hears
Published 07/01/2013 | 15:56
AN HONOURS schoolboy dropped out of education and got into crack cocaine dealing after he developed a cannabis addiction problem, a court has heard.
The 17-year-old boy pleaded guilty today to possessing crack cocaine worth €500 for the purpose of sale or supply, at the South Circular Road, in Dublin, on a date last February.
Judge Ann Ryan heard at the Dublin Children's Court that the boy "was observed in a suspected drugs transaction". He was brought to Kevin Street Garda station where he was searched and the drugs were found on him.
The teenager also admitted trespassing at an unoccupied building in south Dublin on another date.
Judge Ryan heard that the boy had no prior criminal convictions. He got seven honours in higher level subjects in the Junior Certificate; soon after that he dropped out of school.
Defence counsel Aoife McNickle said the boy, who was accompanied to his hearing by his mother, has "a long-standing difficulty with cannabis use". He is now trying to address that problem and has also had to move out of his home address "due to difficulties in that area".
The barrister also said the teenager wants to be in position to get employment and is looking for help for his problems from the Probation Service.
Judge Ryan adjourned sentencing until a date in March to allow time for a pre-sentence probation report to be prepared.

A hearing centered on a state anti-violence program has been postponed until October. A commission of legislators voted to put their investigation on hold, while a federal criminal one proceeds.
The Dept. of Justice asked that they not call former members of Gov. Pat Quinn's administration to testify about their involvement with the "Neighborhood Recovery Initiative."

It's not yet clear how lawmakers will proceed, given that the federal government wants them to put a hold on their investigation until mid-October, just before the November election, when Quinn will face Republican Bruce Rauner.
Sun-Times columnist Mark Brown says that's what Quinn's campaign wants.

Bruce Rauner -- the Republican nominee for Illinois governor -- says he followed the letter of the law when filing his taxes. But he won't say whether it was fair.
Rauner, a businessman, has said his wealth puts him in the top .01%.
Even so, a Chicago Tribune analysis showed that in several recent years, he paid no Social Security or Medicare taxes.
Rauner has released limited parts of his tax returns.
It's believed he took advantage of I-R-S rules to legally cut his tax burden.
Rauner defended that ...

More money is on the way for Illinois communities devastated by last fall's tornadoes. Officials are making available more than $11 million dollars of state relief. Governor Pat Quinn announced the city of Washington is getting the majority of those funds. The community will use the money to repair streets and sidewalks. It's part of an overall package to help local governments recoup some of the costs associated with storm cleanup. That's after the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied assistance.
Illinois Governor Pat Quinn made a bit of a change to the state budget that goes into effect Tuesday—a change meant to play well with voters.
Originally published on Mon June 30, 2014 6:50 am
It's the last day of the fiscal year for the State of Illinois, which means the pressure is on for Gov. Pat Quinn to sign a new budget into law.
There's nothing on the governor's public schedule for today, but that doesn't mean he won't be busy making official the spending plan passed by his fellow Democrats in the General Assembly.
Originally published on Fri June 27, 2014 5:53 pm
Governor Pat Quinn and his Republican challenger, Bruce Rauner, disagree about plenty -- everything from gun rights and restrictions, to what Illinois' income tax should be. But with Friday's ruling by a Cook County judge knocking a term limits initiative off the ballot, the candidates have something in common.
Though there has been a lot of turnover in the General Assembly in recent years, some politicians have been serving in Springfield for decades.
Chief among them House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has been a state representative since 1971.

It could be December before a judge decides on the legality of Illinois' pension overhaul law for at least another five months. Attorneys met Thursday in Sangamon County Court and agreed on a timeline for the case.
Current and retired state employees, teachers and university workers are suing Gov. Pat Quinn over the pension overhaul passed by the General Assembly late last year.
Originally published on Wed June 25, 2014 4:12 pm
Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner has unveiled what he says is phase three of his plans to "Restore Illinois." It's focused on how the state taxes businesses.
In a statement — he released the plan via social media, rather than at a live event — Rauner says he wants to close "special interest loopholes."
Like a tax break for buying a racehorse.
And, in a risky move as he seeks to win newspaper editorial boards' endorsements, he wants Illinois to begin taxing newsprint.
Originally published on Tue June 24, 2014 5:58 am
Some of Illinois Governor Pat Quinn's former advisers are being subpoenaed to publicly testify about a troubled anti-violence program.
An audit earlier this year revealed a program meant to reduce violence around Chicago was grossly mismanaged in 2010.
Now - a panel of lawmakers is calling seven people who used to work for Quinn to testify next month about why the program was so poorly run.
But Democratic State Senator John Mulroe says he doesn't want the investigation to drag out - in the middle of a heated governor's race.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1816 Excerpt: ...negligence of ministers all this had happened, and he was ready to prove it had, was that, or was it not, matter for the inquiry of that house? Most assuredly it was; but how were these things to be inquired into before the proper documents were on the table of the house? Here Mr. Sheridan took a general view of what happened with respect to Admiral Christian's squadron, and contended there was much and very culpable neglect on the part of ministers. But instead of allowing an inquiry, they resented the idea of it. This was the modern practice of administration. It was illustrated completely in the conduct of the Secretary at War the other day, when the letter of the Count de Sombreuil was called for. He said, we would not consent to lay it before the house, because it was called for under an idea that an injurious opinion had been said to be formed of him (Mr. Windham), in consequence of that letter. Thus the resentment of the right honorable gentleman, and his unwillingness to indulge the house VOL, IV. B with any information, had made him forget the-whole tenor of the letter. He had said it was intirely a private affair, whereas it contained not one word on any but public affairs. Here Mr. Sheridan condemned, in a very severe manner, the conduct of His Majesty's ministers towards that brave and unfortunate officer, whom, he said, they had totally deluded, else he would not have proceeded on the service in which he was sacrificed. Should the Eroper information be granted him upon this point, e would pledge himself to make out such a charge against the minister as would justify an impeachment against him. He did not now say he could prove where the whole of the misconduct lay, bufr there was prodigious misconduct somewhere with respect to this expedition ...

Attending: Rich, Carla, Jody
Board composition/roles/additional members: Thoughts on Seamas and NH state rep George Lambert (I have spoken to him and he is v. interested... think it would be fantastic to get a local involved)? Financials: FSP credit card, fundraising, bitcoins, money bomb Liberty Forum and PorcFest Outreach: LibertyFest; Masscann, Libertopia IT developments: new servers; rolling out new layout Teambox 501 (3) (c) status
Since there was no quorum, this was an informational meeting.
- Board composition
We agreed to have Seamas on the Board, and Seamas said he would be "honored" to join.
We thought we'd have to check George out more. There was an objection to having an elected official (George, a NH State Rep from NH, not a mover) on the Board for the purpose of keeping the FSP away from being associated with politics.
One suggestion was to have George on a NH advisory council or something like that, along with some donors. More...

Ali Merchant aka Akshat of Amber Dhara is experiencing a lot of pain lately. And no, it's not due to the ending of his show on Sony, but more because the actor overstretched himself while working out in the gym few days back in an attempt to build his body for his upcoming show.
Talking about the injury Ali says, "I had not worked out for quite some time since I busy with my show on Zee Next, Ek Thi Rajkumari. In an attempt to make up for lost time, I pushed myself a little too much and ended up tearing a ligament. But, things reached a head a day later when I had to carry my co-star Neha Marda." The stunt caused too much pressure on the ligament causing Ali to fall down on the floor grimacing in pain. Ali was quite grateful to the unit as he says, "When I had the fall, the entire unit rushed to my help. They immediately rushed me to the hospital and were even ready to cancel the shooting. But, I returned back after first aid."
When questioned about the abrupt wrapping of his show, Amber Dhara, Ali refused to blame Sony Entertainment Television saying, "They are experts in the field and know much better than me. So I cannot blame them for wrapping up the show." Ali was also seen in Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki but is quite happy doing just one show at the moment. Speaking about the fantasy saga Ek Thi Rajkumari he says, "The show is different from the regular family drama. I know the channel is having some distribution problems but I hope things get ironed out soon enough."
Although Ali has received a ton of offers post Amber Dhara, he has rejected most of them. When asked why, Ali replied, "Working in two dailies at the same time almost drove me crazy earlier. Hence, from now I will do only one show at a time, until Ek Thi Rajkumari gets over." He adds on, "The show for which I am working might be a weekly or bi-weekly. Besides dailies, I would mind doing a reality show or two or maybe anchoring", says Ali as he signs out.

State-Local Revenue System
Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, the vision of a high‐ quality tax system is constantly being reshaped by changing social and political values. This truism is clearly underscored by tracing the changes in the emphasis that the Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations (ACIR) has placed on significant characteristics of a high-quality state-local revenue system. 1 Over the past fifteen years, the ACIR has published a number of studies examining the significant features of state-local revenue systems. On the basis of this work, a "model" evolved for identifying the characteristics of a high-quality state-local tax system. The purpose of this essay is to reexamine these characteristics in light of the shift from a fast-growth to a slow-growth era of state-local finance. Table 1 provides a concise summary of the differences in the "old" view (1960s and early 1970s) and the "new" view (since late 1970s) of the characteristics of a high-quality state-local tax system.
In general, the earlier, fast-growth-era model focused attention on the characteristics necessary to guarantee a productive and equitable state-local tax system. It emphasized a balanced use of the "Big 3"—income, sales, and property taxes—and the adoption of various safeguards to insulate low-income taxpayers from excessive tax burdens. The combination of responsive tax bases and equity safeguards provided the means for policymakers to "maximize revenues while minimizing squawks."
This ACIR view of a high-quality tax system was the product of the "go-go," fast-growth era from 1960 to 1975. During this period, the state and local sector increased its share of gross national product from 9.8 to 15 percent. This rapid expansion was fueled by strong, real economic growth, demographic trends,____________________
