No. 20 Michigan Fells Men's Tennis, 5-2
No. 20 Michigan dealt the Princeton men's tennis team a 5-2 defeat Friday night in Ann Arbor, Mich., dropping the Tigers to 1-1 on the new season. The team's final match in Michigan will take place Saturday at 2 p.m. at No. 40 Michigan State.
Michigan won the doubles point two matches to one and got a big victory when its top player, Evan King, beat Princeton's ace, national No. 2 Matija Pecotic, 6-0, 6-1. Princeton's wins came from Zack McCourt on a retirement at second singles and a third-set tiebreaker win for Jonathan Carcione at sixth singles.
"I'm proud of the way we fought," Princeton head coach Billy Pate said. "We had our chances, starting with doubles. Michigan played well and is a very strong team throughout their lineup. I think with Michigan having a few more early season matches under its belt, it showed in their confidence and ability to control the momentum. We're going to continue to improve in that area and this experience will benefit us. Evan King played lights out at No. 1 and Matija just didn't get into the match. That will be a very rare occurrence for him but sometimes you have those days. We'll be ready for Michigan State on Saturday."
The scores from Friday's match are below.
(20) Michigan (3-1) 5, Princeton (1-1) 2
1. (30) King/Shaun Bernstein (M) def. (11) McCourt/Pecotic (P), 8-4
2. Dan Davies/Spindler (P) def. Alex Buzzi/Franks (M), 8-1
3. Petrone/Zhu (M) def. Bloom/Matt Siow (P), 8-6
Order of finish: 2,1,3
1. Evan King (M) def. (2) Matija Pecotic (P), 6-0, 6-1
2. Zack McCourt (P) def. (48) Vlad Stefan (M), 6-3, 6-7(0), 1-1, ret.
3. Alex Petrone (M) def. Matt Spindler (P), 7-6, 6-4
4. Michael Zhu (M) def. Augie Bloom (P), 6-2, 6-3

Dartmouth Rallies To Top Princeton 10-9
Box Score
As Princeton's final chance to tie rolled across the sideline, the realization began to set in that a big opportunity had been left on a snow-lined field in Hanover, N.H., in April.
Dartmouth came from down three goals twice to upset Princeton 10-9 on Scully-Fahey Field Saturday afternoon, giving the Big Green its first Ivy win and setting up a wild two-week run for Ivy League tournament - and beyond that NCAA tournament - berths.
Princeton, which fell to 7-4 overall and 2-2 in the league, fell behind when Nikki Dynsenchuk and Cam Lee scored 29 seconds apart, turning a 9-8 Tiger lead into a 10-9 deficit with 4:40 left. Princeton had the ball with 1:29 to go, and the final chance ended with a pass that rolled across the sideline with eight seconds remaining. Darmouth then threw the ball the length of the field as time ran out.
Princeton hosts Harvard Friday at 6 on ESPNU.
IVY LEAGUE RACE - Cornell is undefeated in the league. Princeton, Yale and Harvard all have two league losses. Penn, Dartmouth and Brown all have three league losses. Had Princeton beaten Dartmouth, it would have still been able to host the league tournament and get a share of the league title simply by winning out. Now Princeton will be in a dog-fight to get into the Ivy tournament.
TURNING POINT OF THE GAME - Princeton led 8-5 midway thorugh third quarter when Luke Armour scored from Tom Schreiber, but the Tigers would score just once more in the final 22:33 of the game. Dartmouth would score five times in that stretch.
WHAT THE BOX SCORE DOESN'T TELL YOU - Princeton has four losses, and all four have been by one goal. Princeton had the lead in the fourth quarter of all four its losses.
STAT OF THE GAME - Princeton had been in double figures in every game this season prior to the loss to Dartmouth. Only the 1951 team has ever been in double figures in every game for a full season. The 11 straight games in double figures was the second-longest streak in school history, after the 1996 team did so in 13 straight games to end the year.
BONUS STAT - Princeton led for nearly 51 minutes in the game. Tom Schreiber - who had two goals and two assists - scored 45 seconds into the game as Princeton built a 3-0 lead. Dartmouth briefly tied at 4-4 in the second and at 8-8 early in the fourth. The Big Green led for 4:40, but it was the last 4:40.
NOTES - Jeff Frocaro was held without a goal for the first time in 23 games, though he did have two assists ... Jake Froccaro had three goals and an asssist ... Luke Armour, playing for injured Ryan Ambler, had two more goals after having three against Rutgers Tuesday ... Tom Schreiber has at least three points in 12 straight games dating to last year.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Summer/Fall 2009 issue.
It's perfect for any nature lover looking to take their adventure experience up a notch while leaving behind the urban pace of Puerto Vallarta.
Located south of Las Animas, Quimixto is one of the few South Shore beach destinations relatively untouched by the modern world and available for exploring at your own pace. Visitors can enjoy a relaxed peek into the "Vallarta lifestyle" of yesteryear, while PV residents consider Quimixto a fabulous place to unwind for the day.
Accessible by boat, you can board a water taxi at Los Muertos pier but are likely to find more departure options if you leave from Boca de Tomatlán, a small fishing village 30 minutes south of Puerto Vallarta along Carr. 200 Sur. Companies offering day cruises along Puerto Vallarta's South Shore often make stops at Quimixto.
Aside from enjoying the tranquil beach, a pristine 25-minute hiking and horseback riding trail through the lush jungle leads upriver to a cascading waterfall and natural pool perfect for a refreshing swim. A small number of beachfront eateries offer staple Mexican treats, along with icy beverages, while small tienditas, or convenience stores, offer chips and snacks.
Cash, beach gear, insect repellent, book, camera, an umbrella if visiting during the months of June to October and your spirit of adventure.

Government Information:
Searching Print Directories
Why search the library catalog?
As a Regional Federal Depository Library, the University of Maryland system will have thousands of government documents that are not available as full text online. Many of these items can be borrowed just like any other item, while some, such as materials on microform, are restricted to library use. Even if you are not near any of the University of Maryland libraries, there are Federal Depository Libraries all across the country. All Federal Depository Libraries by law have to admit persons interested in looking at their government documents collections, even if it is a private institution. You can locate a federal depository library near you. In addition, materials located at a USMAI library can be sent to other USMAI libraries for pickup, or, can be mailed to you through our Book Delivery Service if you live outside Maryland, but in the continental United States. Materials that are available online will often have a link directly from the library catalog. Even though much current government information is now available online, for historical materials, you must still rely on print resources.
Tips and techniques for a successful search:
If you know the title or subject of the material, you can search for government information in the library catalog much the way you do for other materials. For example, a "title words beginning with" search in the catalog on Statistical Abstracts will take you right to the record for that document. While the catalog does not allow you to limit a search just to government information sources, one of the indications that something you found in the catalog is a government document is that it will have a different type of call number, called a SuDocs number. SuDocs will be discussed in the next section. You may also notice the author listed is usually not a person but an agency. In most cases in government information sources the author is the department, agency, division or branch that produced the document. This makes a search by author a convenient way to bring up all materials in the catalog produced by a specific agency. To find materials authored by the Internal Revenue Service, for example, go to the library catalog and search the Internal Revenue Service as the author.
Your search results will look like this:
Notice that the author is listed as the Internal Revenue Service and since this document is available full text online, a link is provided. A list of USMAI Libraries that own the print version of the document is also provided. For additional help in searching the library catalog, take the catalog tutorial.
How to find the material on the shelf?
In many libraries, government documents are located in a separate section, although some items may be shelved with the other library materials. The classification system used for shelving the materials is called SuDocs (Superintendent of Documents Classification System). Unlike the Library of Congress Classification System (used at USMAI) or the Dewey Decimal Classification System (used by many public libraries) materials are not grouped by subject. Materials are arranged by the agency or department that published the material. You may want to ask a librarian for assistance.
How Does SuDocs Work?
Basic tips to remember when locating materials using a SuDocs number is that each agency of the government is assigned a letter or letters for its designation. For example, all materials published by the Department of Agriculture begin with an "A," Congressional materials start with "Y," and Presidential materials start with "PR". It is NOT a decimal system. Each number after a form of punctuation is a whole number. For example, materials published by the Internal Revenue Service would be shelved like this:
After the "T 22." the numbers are treated as whole numbers. Thus the order is 2, 15, 44, and 130.
The SuDocs number T 22.44/2:55 B/2003 can be interpreted in this way:
Everything before the colon tells you who wrote it and everything after the colon identifies a specific item.
For an extremely detailed instruction manual on the SuDocs Classification System you can read the Classification Manual (1993).
More information about government documents at the University of Maryland libraries can be found in the Government Documents and Maps division at McKeldin Library.

now here is a interesting scope.
while i was cruising natchez hunting for deals i saw a crosman/centerpoint "power-class" 1 TL scope on blowout sale for $69
it has a 30mm tube, 44mm , fast focus dial, red and green illumination, etched glass, locking turrets, and outwardly it is a rip-off of a very expensive scope brand. i called natchez and they said well if your not hapy with it return it within 15 days of arrival and well refund/ exchange. long as the scope hasn't been mounted/ringed.
so i thought i would give one a try as i know optisan makes a very good scope much like this for $200, and i was hoping maybe optisan made this centerpoint. leapers also makes a scope that is very similar so i was tossing the dice --hoping it had better than leaper glass.
there are also a couple other scope like this that are pretty good from china like hawke and falcon and they also go for $200+
so i thought it was worth a shot.
so far the scope looks better than expected aside from its huge size of 44mm on the front glass. i had a cheap UTG 30mm offset scope mount and it fit the big scope pretty well.
on the ar-15 it fit with some room to spare. as per TWAs instructions i had all ready checked the set up for up to 50mm so i had a little room to play with.
the scope has red and green illumination with 7 clicks of each and a couple soft switches. it seems dimm enough for night time use on the low side and bright enough for daytime use on high settings. it is not a daylight lit red dot like the optisan mamba is . the illumination is just for limited light shooting.
it seems to have a generous enough eye box with about 3"-3.5" of eye relief. i actually had to move it back some--eye position is a little tight --but not insanely so.
adjustments click and feel very good on the locking turrets.
this scope seems set up for the "lower side" of the mag range it is very clear from 1.5 to about 4x at 6x there is a little grain and there is a little roll on the side of the tube.
the glass is pretty clear and comparable to the diamondback --not quite as good as the diamondback but quite a bit better than any of the clam-pack scopes i have seen.
pretty close to a low end nikon--and that is pretty good. it is bright and it has decent color.
compared to the optisan it has better color but sightly less detail. light gathering is seems very good. the optisan glass is better but this centerpoint ain't all that far behind.
the plex crosshair seems OK with the center of it illuminated. good but better would be a thick german #4
so far it seems like a pretty good deal--
of course with scope you never truly know how good bad one is till you have it around for a few years--

Here's what I've been up to:
(sorry for the blurry pic)
I got a quilt top pieced together for my daughter. She's turning 3 this year, so this is for her big girl bed. I had the girls in la beeda loca (a quilting bee with some members of the Salt Lake Modern Quilt Guild) make me random circle blocks. Unfortunately, I gave some of them their fabric (Kona Coal), but didn't have enough for everyone.I had to go pick up more fabric. It wasn't until I got them all back that I noticed the Coals looked nothing alike. So, I threw in some squares of Kona Slate and Ash to make it look like it was on purpose. I made six circle blocks myself and randomly set them around plain blocks. It's not quite the quilt I envisioned, but I do really like it. I have until the end of September to finish it, but I have two quilts to start and finish by the end of August that have to come first! No pressure.
I've been knitting ...
And I've been sewing a lot of zippers for zipper week on my blog last week. A whole week devoted to different ways to insert zippers, with step-by-step tutorials.
In between that, I'm working on a project for me and me alone. I loved Terri's pillow for the Pillow Talk Swap, so I'm working on my own. Mine is tiny, I'm working with 1/2" hexagons, 1" diamonds and kites, and using English Paper Piecing to make a triangle shaped pillow. I just have the rest of the grey to put around the outside, then it's ready to sew into something pretty - probably the only thing I've made so far that I don't think I will let the girls play with.
So that's what I've been working on. Now it's your turn. What have you been working on this week? Here are the rules for linking up to WIP Wednesday:
1. Link up any post from the past week that features at least one unfinished work-in-progress (WIP)
2. Somewhere in your post, link back here to my blog. (Or grab my WIP Wednesday button for your sidebar.)
3. Comment on at least a few of the other links—because what fun is a linky party without comments?

World Vision International
Input for the Compilation Document for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development
Prioritising the health of children for sustainable development
As a child-focused development organisation, World Vision is concerned that environmental trends ? including ecosystem degradation, unsustainable agricultural practices, excessive harvesting of natural resources, pollution and now climate change ? pose increasing health risks to the world?s poorest and most vulnerable children. Around three million children under five die each year from diseases (such as acute respiratory infections, diarrhoea and malaria) due to a number of largely preventable environment-related causes. The effects of environmental risk factors are exacerbated by existing adverse social and economic conditions, including poverty, conflict, urbanisation and undernutrition.
While political commitment to addressing climate change and environmental degradation has risen in recent years, there remains a disconnect in the dialogue and strategies to deal with both environment and development issues. The health of the world?s poorest children continues to be severely compromised by ?siloed? approaches to aspects of sustainable development. A specific focus on children is largely missing from current discourse on the environment, climate change, and sustainable development.
We need a sustainable development framework which is truly concerned with integrating protection of the environment; the management and conservation of natural resources; and social development, with the health and wellbeing of today and tomorrow?s children at its centre.
We also need to move beyond aggregated global goals for tackling poverty, recognising that vast differences exist between countries, and between populations: for example, those living in poverty in middle income countries, and those in fragile states. National level goals and targeted approaches to sustainable development are urgently needed, tailored to such distinct contexts.
World Vision is particularly concerned about the effects of unsustainable practices on two of the largest contributors to child mortality ? undernutrition and acute respiratory infections ? and calls for a greater understanding of the links between these conditions, the natural environment, and sustainable development.
World Vision believes that two sectoral themes should be prioritised in the outcomes of Rio+20, with specific goals that should be launched and endorsed in the outcome document:
� Sustainable agriculture and better outcomes for child nutrition
� Household energy practices and better outcomes for child respiratory diseases
This submission outlines general recommendations for the outcomes of Rio+20, followed by specific recommendations in these two priority areas.
General recommendations on outcomes for Rio+20
World Vision urges member States to:
� Address the link between health and sustainable development at Rio+20 in 2012 by;
o Highlighting the health implications of unsustainable development practices for current and future generations of children;
o Accelerating the development of an action plan for sustainable development which prioritises the health of children and emphasises intergenerational equity;
� Increase political will and ambition to tackle the challenges of environmental degradation, climate change, chronic poverty, and child mortality simultaneously;
� Ensure that fairness and equity are at the heart of a sustainable development framework, based on the principle of ?common but differentiated responsibilities?;
� Promote local action and participation of communities, including children, and ensure accountability to the poorest and most vulnerable people across the planning, assessment implementation and evaluation cycle;
� Acknowledge that all policies for sustainable development affect the health of children and communities, and prioritise cross-sectoral governance and policy coherence across relevant ministries at the international, regional and national levels;
� Reaffirm internationally agreed development goals, including those contained in the United Nations Millennium Declaration, and commence a dialogue to move towards a post-MDG 2015 framework which brings together the environment and development agendas: and
� Commit to the development of national goals and targets, recognising, for example, that increasing numbers of people living in poverty are emerging in two distinct contexts ? fragile states and middle income countries.
Priority areas in the green economy
Sustainable agriculture and access to clean, household energy for cooking and cleaning are areas where the pillars of sustainable development can be successfully integrated. These two areas hold a central place in both development and environmental agendas and are crucial to children enjoying good health.
The food, energy, climate and environmental health crises must be tackled together, not as separate problems ? pursuing separate solutions to these crises ignores their interrelationships, and fails to take advantage of possible synergies. Tackled in an integrated manner, these thematic areas would be the litmus test for what a new sustainable development paradigm could achieve.
Sustainable agriculture and child nutrition
Over a third of all child deaths each year ? approximately two and a half million ? are caused by the underlying factor of undernutrition.
Despite increases in global agricultural productivity, efforts to reach global targets on reducing hunger and undernutrition are not being met: current agricultural practices and infrastructure are
unsustainable and inequitable, and nutritious food is not getting to those who need it ? often, not even to those who grow it. Food production and distribution, together with inadequate food utilisation at the household level (e.g. unsafe food preparation and handling, poor food choices, lack of access to clean water and sanitation), are failing to provide good nutrition for the world?s poorest children.
Climate change, which contributes to food instability, presents a greater urgency to find ways to more sustainably produce and distribute food ? agriculture is part of the climate problem as well as the solution.
World Vision welcomes UNEP?s Towards A Green Economy report, which highlights agriculture as a major element in reorienting the way we manage the planet towards a sustainable future. We must consider how agriculture can intentionally and reliably ensure that the poorest children on the planet will have access to nutritious food.
Many organisations and governments are working on improving agriculture, land and water management practices to enhance world food supplies and increase food security for the world?s poor. However, the health and nutrition sector is poorly linked to many of these emerging policies and practices.
Recognising that:
� There are inherent linkages between child undernutrition and health in the world?s poorest communities, food and nutrition insecurity, unsustainable agricultural and water use practices, degraded natural environments, and climate change;
� The health and nutrition sector is poorly linked to many of the emerging policies and practices for agriculture and food production;
� Neither conventional nor traditional agricultural approaches on their own can meet the challenges of our changing climate and current injustices; and
� A decisive shift is needed to reorient agriculture and land use policies towards a new and common standard ? of focusing on productive, sustainable and resilient agriculture while placing children?s nutrition at the centre of our efforts;
World Vision calls on member States to:
� Make concrete commitments at Rio+20 for individual and collective actions towards sustainable agriculture and food security initiatives that are sensitive to nutrition and climate issues;
� Include child nutrition as a headline indicator for global goals on sustainable agriculture and food security negotiated at Rio+20;
� Incorporate child nutrition indicators in monitoring and reporting provisions around sustainable agriculture, food security and poverty reduction strategies and processes;
� Prioritise investments in agricultural adaptation to climate change in developing countries, allocating USD 7 billion a year for this purpose, and exploring the possibility of climate-related funding; and
� Support investments in ecological restoration, and facilitate the development of markets that value the regulatory services provided by ecosystems.
At the national, sub-national and local levels, governments, development agencies and programme managers should prioritise:
Integrated strategies and targets for child nutrition:
� Support the Framework for Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) and support country scale-up of efforts to reduce undernutrition;1 and
� Ensure that agriculture policies, programmes and development assistance support country-led strategies that include improved child nutrition as a key objective.
1 The SUN calls for action on both direct nutrition interventions and integrating nutrition objectives in other key development sectors, particularly agriculture and food security.
Support for small-scale farmers:
� Support small-scale farmers to combine productivity and conservation objectives (such as measures to improve soil fertility and soil carbon, measures to reduce soil degradation, and diversification of farming activities).
Participatory agriculture-nutrition initiatives:
� Promote participatory and gender-sensitive initiatives such as access to microcredit, especially for women farmers, recognition of land titles and female ownership, and community-based nutrition education programmes.
Clean household energy and child health
Worldwide today, approximately 1.3 billion people have no access to electricity. Almost 2.7 billion people are fully dependent on burning traditional solid fuels such as wood, dung, crop residues and coal to meet energy needs, but these forms of biomass are inefficient, unsafe and often non-renewable. These materials are typically burnt in simple cooking stoves with very incomplete combustion. Consequently, women and young children are exposed to high levels of indoor air pollution every day.
Children are becoming ill and dying as a result of the indoor air pollution created from using inefficient stoves. Approximately 57 per cent of deaths from indoor air pollution are due to acute respiratory tract infections (including pneumonia) in children under 5 years. Acute respiratory infections are the single most important cause of mortality in children, accounting for around 2 million deaths annually.
Inefficient and unsustainable household energy practices for cooking and heating also have serious implications for the environment, including local and regional air pollution, and local deforestation and land degradation where households are reliant on wood.
Expanding access to more efficient cooking stoves could help to prevent an estimated 2 million deaths annually from child pneumonia and adult chronic lung disease that are directly attributable to indoor burning of solid fuels.
Yet few countries have set targets for reducing the share of the population relying on traditional biomass for energy needs. Of 140 developing countries, 68 have established targets for access to electricity, but only 17 countries have targets for access to modern fuels. Access to clean cooking
facilities has received significantly less government attention than electricity access, notwithstanding the significance of exposure to indoor air pollution, the increased risk of acute respiratory infections in children, and other health, environmental, and economic implications. Financing for cooking stove projects has been limited.
World Vision welcomes the recent estimates in the World Energy Outlook 2011of investment required for household energy access. We also welcome the fact that Energy for Sustainable Development has been identified as a key issue by the Preparatory Committee for Rio+20, and the designation by the United Nations of 2012 as the International Year of Sustainable Energy for All. The international community needs to capitalise on this momentum at Rio+20.
Recognising that:
� Access to modern energy services2 is fundamental for human development, from alleviating poverty, to promoting economic development, gender equality, food security, and health;
� Children are becoming ill and dying as a result of the indoor air pollution created from using traditional biomass and coal in inefficient stoves for cooking and heating;
� Modern household energy facilities such as fuel-efficient stoves for cooking and heating can cut child deaths by reducing exposure to indoor air pollution;
� Despite the negative health and environmental consequences associated with energy practices and fuel use in developing countries, clean, efficient and affordable energy access for poor households has received little attention;
� Improved health outcomes for children are not currently a particular focus of energy investment decisions, and health and environmental impacts are not always considered in the energy models of donors and companies;
2 Modern energy services are defined here as those which are reliable, affordable, sustainable and from low-greenhouse gas-emitting sources
World Vision calls on member States to:
Make commitments to energy access and child health:
� Adopt a clear statement that recognises the link between energy access and the MDGs, and demonstrates that modern energy access for the poorest and most vulnerable communities is a political priority where policies and funding will be reoriented accordingly. This commitment should prioritise the reduction of indoor air pollution and prevention of childhood respiratory infections as a key outcome.
Commit to developing national targets and indicators:
� Leaders of developing countries should commit to setting interim national goals, targets and indicators for scaling up access to household energy facilities, to reach the global goal of universal access by 2030;
� For countries with high dependence on traditional biomass, specific goals for access to fuel-efficient cooking stoves, with targets for improved health outcomes for women and children, should be set as part of national development and poverty reduction strategies; and
� Goals, targets and indicators should be outlined by 2015 and reported on annually thereafter.
Prioritise community level capacity development and participation:
� National governments should involve affected communities in the planning, implementation and monitoring and evaluation of fuel-efficient stoves projects.
Ensure policies target the poorest and most vulnerable:
� National energy policies and plans should target the poorest and most vulnerable children and communities in developing countries. For example, funding should not focus solely on large-scale electricity infrastructure to the detriment of small-scale projects that will have a greater chance of reaching the poorest households and contributing to better local health outcomes.
Scale-up public funding for energy access and clean cooking facilities:
� The donor community should urgently mobilise additional investment to provide universal access to clean cooking stoves by 2030, estimated at $74 billion, and $17 billion for biomass cooking stoves ($0.8 billion per year). The bulk of financing for fuel-efficient stoves should come from multilateral and bilateral sources, to assist the poorest countries and communities with start-up costs where adequate commercial return is not initially offered; and
� Donor governments should commit to making these funds available through the emerging Green Fund at the 17th Conference of Parties in Durban in December 2011.
Process considerations of the outcome document
The outcome document of the UNCSD should:
� Be a politically-binding document that recommits governments to achieve sustainable development;
� Adopt global goals and targets in the areas identified (agriculture and household energy);
� Establish a roadmap for working out the detail for the development and implementation of goals and targets at regional and national levels;
� Outline a pathway for the advancement of a post-MDG 2015 framework, which ensures the full participation of affected communities, recognising the differences between contexts such as middle income countries and fragile states, with consideration given to the development of Sustainable Development Goals.

Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Identical twins who differ in autism traits can shed light on the epigenetic mechanisms involved in the disorder. Scientists from King's College London identified patterns of epigenetic changes involved in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by conducting what they say is the first systematic epigenomic analyses of monozygotic twins discordant for ASD.
Twin studies provide evidence that there is a strong genetic component to ASD: in approximately 70% of cases, when one identical twin has ASD, so does the other. However, in 30% of cases, identical twins differ for ASD. This suggests that genes alone are not always responsible for the disorder; epigenetic factors may be involved. The researchers add that epigenetic changes are potentially reversible and may therefore provide targets for the development of new therapies.
The team studied DNA methylation, which acts to block the genetic sequences that drive gene expression, silencing gene activity. They examined DNA methylation at over 27,000 sites across the genome using samples taken from 50 identical twin pairs from the UK Medical Research Council-funded Twins Early Development Study: 34 pairs who differed for ASD or autism related behavior traits, 5 pairs where both twins have ASD, and 11 healthy twin pairs.
"We've identified distinctive patterns of DNA methylation associated with both autism diagnosis and related behavior traits, and increasing severity of symptoms," says Chloe Wong, Ph.D., first author of the study from King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry. "Our findings give us an insight into the biological mechanism mediating the interaction between gene and environment in autism spectrum disorder."
DNA methylation at some genetic sites was consistently altered for all individuals with ASD, and differences at other sites were specific to certain symptom groups. The number of DNA methylation sites across the genome was also linked to the severity of autism symptoms, suggesting a quantitative relationship between the two, the team reports. Additionally, some of the differences in DNA methylation markers were located in genetic regions that previous research has associated with early brain development and ASD.
"Research into the intersection between genetic and environmental influences is crucial because risky environmental conditions can sometimes be avoided or changed," adds Jonathan Mill, Ph.D., lead author of the paper from King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry and the University of Exeter. "Epigenetic changes are potentially reversible, so our next step is to embark on larger studies to see whether we can identify key epigenetic changes common to the majority of people with autism to help us develop possible therapeutic interventions."
The study was published today in Molecular Psychiatry, in a paper titled "Methylomic analysis of monozygotic twins discordant for autism spectrum disorder and related behavioural traits".

Reviews for Cheese Ravioli with Pumpkin Alfredo Sauce
"Way too much sauce. Pasta was swimming in a giant bowlful of sauce, like a soup. Did not serve 6. I would double the pasta to serve six and increase the flour so the sauce might actually thicken. Needs more pumpkin and sage."
"I thought it turned out a little bland but a good start to add more of my own flavors. I followed the recipe but doubled it since I was makin it for a potluck at work. I added cinnamon, onion flakes, salt, basil and some Parmesan cheese...mmmmm much better! I may use whole milk next time to see if it thickens up better. I'd make it again with my additions. I also opted to not add the nuts due to allergies"
"I also added 1 cup of pumpkin instead of the half a cup the recipe calls for..."
"I looked at the reviews before I made this dish; so I also decreased the milk and chicken broth to 1 cup each. I added a little cinnamon, seasoning salt, onion powder and crushed garlic. It was good, but I felt that it still needed something... maybe a chicken bouillon cube?"
"This was very good. It was a nice change of sauce for the ravioli. Did not use the nutmeg or nuts. I would definately make this again."

Lift trucks get smarter
Toyota Industries Corp. (TICO) launched an internal combustion hybrid lift truck in the Japanese market in 2009.
Regardless of the style, lift truck suppliers are developing technologies that drive productivity improvements for users. With emissions control regulations and an increasing desire among users to be more environmental and cost-conscious about energy use, a number of trends have surfaced in the industry.
"Suppliers are looking at technology to improve productivity," says Jeff Bowles, product marketing manager for Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America (MCFA, 713-365-1000), manufacturer, marketer and distributor of CAT, Mitsubishi and Jungheinrich lift truck brands. "Typical truck and warehouse designs, as well as regulations, can limit things like maximum truck speed, for example. So the trucks have to become smarter to become more productive."
Developments include increased use of AC and alternative power sources, green technologies, better monitoring of fleets and outsourced maintenance. Here are five of the hottest trends in lift trucks.

State law protects employees in both the private and public sector from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
State law protects employees in both the private and public sector from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, as well as gender identity and/or gender expression.
State law/executive order protects public employees but NOT private sector employees on the basis of sexual orientation.
All government employees are protected by the U.S. Constitution against irrational discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. In addition, some measure of protection already exists under Title VII based on gender, which has been held to include gender identity and expression. The U.s. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and several courts have interpreted Title VII to protect transgender employees, and the EEOC has interpreted Title VII to cover sexual orientation discrimination. The Supreme Court has held that the EEOC's interpretation of Title VII are entitled to "great deference."
Public accommodations protections on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
Public accommodations protections on the basis of sexual orientation only.
Public accommodations are defined as entities that are used by the public, whether they are publicly or privately operated. Examples include retail stores, rental establishments and service establishments, educational institutions, and recreational facilities. States with fully inclusive public accommodations discrimination protections have laws indicating that LGBT people may use these establishments like all other members of the public. Some states have laws protecting only LGB people from this kind of discrimination.

Like the rest of the world, celebrities are grappling with the death of Michael Jackson:
"I can't stop crying over the sad news," Madonna said. "I have always admired Michael Jackson. The world has lost one of the greats, but his music will live on forever! My heart goes out to his three children and other members of his family. God bless."
Lisa Marie Presley, who was married to Jackson from 1994 to 1996, said, "I am so very sad and confused with every emotion possible. I am heartbroken for his children, who I know were everything to him, and for his family. This is such a massive loss on so many levels, words fail me." She later posted this emotional and somewhat shocking message on her MySpace page.
Cher, calling in to Larry King Live on CNN, said, "I am having a million reactions . . . When I think of him, I think of this young boy, this teenager I first met . . . He was a great teenager, optimistic and adorable."
Brooke Shields, who briefly dated Jackson, said, "My heart is overcome with sadness for the devastating loss of my true friend Michael. He was an extraordinary friend, artist and contributor to the world. I join his family and his fans in celebrating his incredible life and mourning his untimely passing."
Jane Fonda took to Twitter: "I am stunned," she wrote. "My friend, Michael Jackson is dead. He lived with me for a week on the Golden Pond set after 'Thriller.' "
Elizabeth Taylor, perhaps Jackson's closest friend, said, "My heart … my mind are broken. I loved Michael with all my soul and I can't imagine life without him. We had so much in common and we had such loving fun together . . . I keep looking at the photo he gave me of himself, which says, 'To my true love Elizabeth, I love you forever.' And, I will love HIM forever. "

Rated 5 out of 5 by Swizzle Easy to use I liked the looks of the sprayer, it works easy, and cleans easy March 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trisha1769 Great product This saves me time and money. I use it constantly. January 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by sparkie97 This Sprayer really saves time and money I have only used this sprayer a few times so far, but I can tell it is really convenient. Please read the directions first, I had never used a sprayer before and filled it up. You need to leave room to be able to pump it so it will build pressure to spray the oil. Now I know! I bought 2 more to give to my adult kids to add to their kitchen tools as well. April 3, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Sky Used a Lot I use this Misto a Lot, Some olive oils are very expensive and I find that this product is just perfect for my cooking needs. April 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by the organic baker finally found it again! Bought this years ago but when my son moved out he asked me for it and I gave it to him. Could not find it until recently. Iron Chef program shows it all the time. Can use it for other things besides oils. Saves a lot of money on expensive oils by misting on food or baking trays, grilling, etc. Salads, garlic toast, fish, anything where you need that little bit. So glad u are carrying this!

Étienne Cabet, a French philosopher and founder of a utopian socialist movement, once said: "Communism is Christianity." The concept of property has existed longer than Western Civilization; trying to understand what property is and who can claim it has been an important issue for centuries. But, what is the Christian view of private property and ownership?
Cabet, and others who believe that Christianity supports the concept of communism or socialism, base their opinion on one particular passage of Scripture. In Acts: 32-37, Luke tells us that no believer:
Claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had…There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need. NIV
One interpretation of this passage says that the Church does not support private property, but the Christian perspective on the institution of property is not so simple. Wolfgang Grassl, professor of business administration at St. Norbert College (De Pere, Wis.), addresses this complicated and controversial issue in Property, the latest in the Christian Social Thought series from the Acton Institute.
Grassl points out that the issue of property is absolutely central to Western civilization and Christian social thought. He goes as far to say that understanding property is essential in order to understand the human person. Grassl quotes Pope John Paul II, who addressed the complexity of this issue in Centesimus Annus. He said: (more…)

Rated 3 out of 5 by mom3boys Pros and Cons The cons: The material on the umbrella feels and looks very inexpensive, up close. The phineal at the top is plastic and very obvious. The lights needs to be plugged in to work. I thought the solar powered but did not read the fine print. The Pros: The handle to wind the umbrella is quality and easy to use. There is a little thermometer on the wind handle. June 12, 2013

'AHS: Coven' Star Alexander Dreymon's Past Gay Sex Scenes Revealed!
It's no secret that we're fans of American Horror Story: Coven and when we're not losing it over whatever Jessica Lange, Angela Bassett, or Kathy Bates is serving in a given moment we're paying very close attention to one of show's newest stars, Alexander Dreymon.
It doesn't hurt that he's one of the only male characters that's fully in tact--at least currently. (GIFs below, naturally.)
While doing our usual thorough research into men that have sparked our interest, we came across this footage of Alexander from the BBC production, Christopher and His Kind.
And goodness, this footage is kind, indeed. Alexander, who's credited as Alexander Doetsch in this production , portrays a gay prostitute and provides us with some very...vigorous..sex scenes opposite Doctor Who's Matt Smith.
We'll let you assess them for yourself!
Skip to 7:57....
Something tells us American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy may have caught a glimpse of these scenes!
We hope he allows Alexander to get into some similar action on AHS: Coven!!
