Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Goal is to create a new NGS-based tool and demonstrate benefits of standardized testing.[AlienForce-Fotolia.com]
Life Technologies, Oxford Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), AstraZeneca, and Ortho Biotech Oncology Research & Development (ORD) have formed a consortium to develop a test to identify therapy options for cancer patients. Separately, Cancer Research UK is implementing a complementary initiative to demonstrate the benefit of routinely testing tumor samples as a standardized, cost-effective process.
The Life Tech-led group, which made a successful bid for a Technology Strategy Board grant, also aims to make clinical trial enrollment less of a trial-and-error process. It will create and validate a new test based on Life Technologies' Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine™ (PGM), a next-generation sequencing platform. The semi-conductor based PGM was selected for its ease of use, speed, accuracy, and economic pricing. The new test will include a report on nine known genetic markers at a price that is affordable within the National Health Service.
Beginning in 2012, the Oxford BRC will use this PGM-based test to conduct a 1,500-patient prospective clinical trial that will measure and report on an expanded panel of 150 genes. The genes will be selected with input from pharmaceutical companies as genes of interest for potential new drug targets or markers for efficacy of existing drugs or those under development.
Through review of these study results, physicians may be able to identify alternative care options for their patients, and be able to recommend suitable drug trials taking place in the Oxford system. "The current system for clinical trial enrollment is grossly inefficient," remarks Sir John Bell, Regius professor of medicine at University of Oxford. "The onus is on individual patients and their doctors to identify and apply for trials. If a patient is not eligible for one trial, they must start anew looking for another."
In contrast, treating physicians who have patients participating in the clinical study at Oxford will receive a report based on genetic analysis, outlining which of the trials ongoing at Oxford could be a suitable match for each of their patients in the program.
"We're trying to evolve a new model for both cancer treatment and cancer clinical trials," comments James Peach, director of stratified medicines at Cancer Research UK, "in which patients are quickly moved into appropriate trials based on their individual genetics."
The Cancer Research UK program will be a multiyear investment that will begin with a pilot phase testing 9,000 patients' DNA for cancer markers in nine known cancer genes. The new multigene NGS test developed by Life Technologies will be made available to Cancer Research UK stratified medicine laboratories in early 2012 for comparison with existing testing methodologies.

On May 29, Jonny Sharp, better known as Jonny Dollar – the producer behind Massive Attack's Blue Lines and Gabrielle's triple-platinum album Rise – died of cancer at the Royal Marsden hospital.
Polydor president Ferdy Unger-Hamilton recounted to Music Week, "I knew Jonny from his work with Neneh Cherry; he co-produced a lot of her work with Cameron McVey and Massive Attack. He also produced Blue Lines. 'Buffalo Stance' and 'Man Child'…had a profound effect on me when I was about 14. And when I first heard 'Unfinished Sympathy' – like everybody else who heard it, I don't think I could really believe what I was hearing." Ferdy continued that Jonny was, "as committed and driven a producer as I've ever met, I literally had to take the tracks by force back off him, he was so determined to make them perfect. He was as tough artistically as he was gentle a person."
Dollar is survived by wife, Harriet, and his four children. A private family funeral in Cornwall will be held, followed by a memorial service in London. He was 45.

Hi all,
I'm new to LEJOS, however I would like to know whether the LEJOS NXJ firmware uses the original firmware as a base in any way? Is it a completely separate implementation? Does it mimic the behaviour of the original? What does it do differently?
Thanks in advance for your time

Her Lil' Angels Personalized Hanes® T-Shirt
-by Lorrie F. from Brownsville, WI on May 19, 2016
Very nice
I am happy with this item. It looks nice and fits well. The tee is a nice weight-it is not thin and you can not see through it. The shirt is as it was described on the site. The personalization is perfect. I like ordering from this company especially because there are many choices and there are choices that can have many names imprinted (we needed 27 names imprinted on a tee for Grandma). I have ordered from this company before and the quality of their products is excellent.
Close To Her Heart Personalized Cookie Jar
-by Sally R. from Myrtle Beach, SC on May 10, 2016
Mother's Day Gift
To say I was pleased with the product I purchased for my mother for her Mother's Day gift would be an understatement. The gift ordered was just adorable, especially a gift that has sentiment, this was perfect. The cookie jar has all of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren's names written on the jar. My mother has pretty much everything she could possibly need or want, so when I discovered this web-site it was ideal gift for my mom. I was able to view the product online prior to them sending, and I was able to view in a very very short time! The cookie jar was sent on time, actually early so I was able to have it in ample time for Mother's Day. My mom loved it. It was also perfect for her due to the fact that for her birthday I purchased her cookies of the month, so now she has the cutest cookie jar to store them in.
Thank you for making the stress of finding the right gift for my extra wonderful mother.
Picture Perfect Personalized Canvas Tote-1 Photo
-by Brenda K. from Greenwood, IN on April 30, 2016
High quality bag
I am very impressed with the quality and sewing on this bag. It arrives as a stiffer material that I expect will hold up and be durable after years of use and washings. The size is perfect for toting everyday items for babies and toddlers. The picture and letters came out beautifully too. This is a high quality item and I will be ordering it again in the future!
Embroidered White Kimono Robe- Name
-by Shopper from Bayport, NY on April 25, 2016
Happy 1st Mother's Day
Made a combo package for Mother's Day for my daughter who is celebrating her first Mother's Day as a new mommy. I had the robe, the spa slippers, and the makeup bag monogrammed in a pink and was very pleased how they all came out. The robe is short and lightweight and I'm sure she will love this gift set. The slippers and bag are pretty and useful. I had my daughter's initials put on them. Happy with the whole order!

Dear Mom Personalized Photo Canvas Print- 5½ x 5½
-by Shopper from Grand Prairie, TX on December 28, 2015
No Words To Express My Appreciation!
This was the first time that I have used your company. My husband died a few months ago and I was looking for something special to give his parents for Christmas. I found your site on line and I was blown away by all you had to offer! I ordered a picture of their son with a beautiful quote that I found. When I received it a few days later, I was so impressed with the beauty and quality of your work, I ordered personalized pictures and quotes for his two sisters and one for each of my grown children! ALL of them were so thrilled with their gifts!
Thank you so much for making this first Christmas without him so special! The quality of your product, the ease of ordering and your unbeatable service was beyond words! I WILL DEFINITELY BE TELLING MY FRIENDS ABOUT YOU AND ORDERING FROM YOU IN THE FUTURE!

Most bare metals can be laser marked with the use of marking compounds. Anodized aluminum can be directly marked with a laser and the high contrast image produced is ideal for serial tags, identification plates and two-dimensional barcodes. Laser marking on metal delivers highly durable marks without sacrificing material integrity.
Alumamark™, anodized aluminum, carbide, coated metals, brass, cobalt, copper, iron, nickel, pewter, stainless steel, steel, titanium, tungsten,
Laser mark tools and other high value assets with custom logos, artwork, ID and serial numbers, barcodes, UID codes and 2D matrix codes. Laser systems are great tools for etching anodized aluminum instruments and control panels, as well as consumer electronics like iPods and cell phones. Anodized military-style tags are great for personalizing. Some bare metals can even be marked directly with a laser system using Universal's High Power Density Focusing Optics (HPDFO)™
Most metals can be laser marked by first applying a marking compound to the metal surface. The laser beam fuses the marking compound with the metal, leaving behind a dark mark (almost black) that does not rub off and is not affected by cleaners and solvents.

Expiration Date:?Dec 2017
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.3 lbs (0.14 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Despite her frequent identification as a "folk singer," Ani DiFranco has culled from an eclectic songbook on more than 20 albums. Perhaps grounded in folk, two decades into her career, DiFranco's expansive catalog has been peppered with soul, funk, jazz, electronic music, spoken word and more. Along the way, she's crossed paths with the likes of Chuck D., Dr. John, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen and many more, while espousing "to use her voice and her guitar as honestly and unflinchingly as she could."
Ani DiFranco's current tour, in support of her latest ¿Which Side Are You On?, included a stop in Cleveland, where the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame caught up with her to learn more about what's inspired and influenced DiFranco over the last 20-plus years.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: What was the first record/CD you ever bought and do you still listen to it?
Ani Difranco: The first records I ever bought were cassette tapes. I remember driving across the country with a mere handful of them, which I listened to repeatedly. I had a Robert Johnson recording, I had Bob Dylan's Oh Mercy, I had Prince's Purple ...
With more than a dozen albums and nearly 30 years under their collective belt, Yo La Tengo – Ira Kaplan, Georgia Hubley and James McNew – have enjoyed success entirely on their own terms. They've played everywhere, from the world's best-known concert halls and museums to dives and clubs, dominating critics' lists, doing a "Simpsons" theme, playing the Velvet Underground in I Shot Andy Warhol, sharing stages with some of the most important musicians of our time, and even creating a holiday tradition onto themselves with their yearly series of Hanukkah shows at Hoboken, New Jersey's legendary club Maxwells, from which they've donated hundreds of thousands to charity.
In 2013, Yo La Tengo released Fade, featuring 10 songs recorded at Chicago's Soma studios with producer John McEntire. The resulting collection of songs features that band's signature layered arrangements, flush with controlled guitar noise and strings; alongside gentle, whispered pop flights.
Kaplan, Hubley and McNew recently visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, as well as the Rock Hall's Library and Archives. While here, the Rock Hall caught up with Kaplan, who shares thoughts on his first records, favorite Yo ...
This week, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in partnership with Cleveland Hopkins International airport unveiled a new exhibit showcasing the work of celebrated rock and roll photographer and Cleveland native Janet Macoska. Travelers will experience the new "Live from Cleveland, Ohio!" exhibit in the Public Art Gallery at the entrance to Concourse A – a welcome to travelers befitting Cleveland's status as a true rock and roll city.
Macoska has been capturing some of rock's greatest moments regularly since 1974. Her photos have been published in Rolling Stone, People, US, Vogue, American Photo, Creem, 16 Magazine, The New York Times and The London Times as well as appearing on VH1 and other film productions.
"Growing up in Cleveland provided the perfect stage to build my career as a photographer in love with rock music," says Macoska. "In 2014, I will have been working this mission for 40 years. The images you will see in this exhibition are favorites of mine, captured during the coolest concerts to come through Cleveland along with some of the best moments I've experienced as house photographer for The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum."
Macoska's catalog ...
Please note that these guitars are no longer on exhibit at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.
Few guitarists made as lasting an impression in such short order as Duane Allman. Beyond his work with the his namesake group and principal architects of Southern rock, the Allman Brothers Band, Duane was an in-demand session musician. A fixture at Muscle Shoals, Duane's playing can be heard on records by Aretha Franklin and Wilson Pickett, among others, and he famously traded licks with Eric Clapton on Derek and the Dominos' 1970 release Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs.
This 1959 cherry sunburst Gibson Les Paul was acquired by Duane in the fall of 1970, after he fell in love with the instrument jamming with a band called the Stone Balloon in Daytona Beach, Florida. The guitar can be heard on the seminal Allman Brothers Band live concert recording At Fillmore East. Recorded at the famed NYC concert hall on March 12 and 13, 1971, sprawling jams such as "Whipping Post," inspired blues including a cover of "Statesboro Blues" and fiery, jazz-inspired epics like "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed" showcased Allman's near-singular dexterity and versatility ...
In addition to the Jim Morrison–led call to arms "Break On Through (To the Other Side)," the Doors self-titled debut album included "Light My Fire." Penned by guitarist Robby Krieger in his first songwriting attempt, the song catapulted the group to stardom, topping the charts for three weeks during the Summer of Love. For purposes of AM-radio airplay, the single version of "Light My Fire" was edited from its nearly seven-minute album sprawl to just under three minutes. With the Doors quickly gaining a loyal following – and notoriety owing largely to the charismatic if untrammeled personality of Morrison – the group were booked as a musical guest on The Ed Sullivan Show airing September 17, 1967. It didn't go as the producers had hoped, as the resulting episode followed keyboardist Ray Manzarek's assessment of the mid Sixties: "the battle was between the hip and the non- hip, the heads and the straights, the psychedelics and the squares – and that was basically the battle – the establishment against the hippies."
Scheduled to perform their Number One hit "Light My Fire" before millions on the same show that had helped make the likes of Elvis Presley and the Beatles household names ...
Best Coast's 2013 tour dates recently included a stop at the Grog Shop in Cleveland. After the concert, during a rare moment of free time, band members Bethany Cosentino and Bobb Bruno visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum, where they were struck by such artifacts as the handwritten lyrics to the Beach Boys' classic song "God Only Knows."
Based in Los Angeles, Best Coast formed in 2009 around the duo of Cosentino and Bruno, quickly releasing a host of 7" and EP recordings. In 2010, the group's single "When I'm With You" proved a breakout hit and was followed that July by Best Coast's debut album, Crazy For You. All the material showcased Cosentino and Bruno's lo-fi aesthetic and pop-hook sensibility, with references to the surf rock and girl groups of the Sixties the band admired.
With extensive touring and popular music videos – including 2011's "Our Deal" directed by Drew Barrymore – the band's star continued to rise. The band's sophomore effort, The Only Place, was released in 2012.
In this interview with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast, the singer and songwriter talks about her influences – from Blink 182 ...
Starting this week, visitors to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, will be able to see a new addition to the Rock Hall's Michael Jackson collection: an outfit worn by the King of Pop early in his Jackson 5 days.
I clearly remember the first time I saw this newest addition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's collection. I got an extreme close-up look at Michael's orange, yellow and red ensemble, with my nose inches from the television screen. I was watching the Jackson 5's second television special, which aired on November 5, 1972. Michael and his brothers wore a succession of colorful, fashionable, individualized yet coordinated outfits on the television special.
The warm, saturated colors, double-knit fabric, turtleneck and bellbottom design of this particular outfit were the apogee of early 1970s hip fashion, seen on fashion runways from couturiers like Halston and Yves St. Laurent, accessible and readily adaptable for the ready-to-wear market.
The stylish turtleneck top of the outfit with the heart-embellished "J5" logo is actually a body suit – clearly a necessity to accommodate Michael's athletic dancing. Michael was growing up fast, but ...
After a groundbreaking in June 1993 and the realizaition of architect IM Pei's stunning vision, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum opened to the public on the shores of Lake Erie in September 1995. The day culminated with a benefit concert at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, where an incredible roster of rock and roll legends took the stage: Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, Al Green, Jerry Lee Lewis, Aretha Franklin, Johnny Cash, the Pretenders, John Fogerty, Lou Reed, Iggy Pop, George Clinton, the Kinks, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Booker T and the MGs, Eric Burdon and Martha Reeves. It was just the start.
One of the first pieces of rock and roll history ever loaned to the Museum came from Yoko Ono: the 1964 Gibson J 160E played by John Lennon and used extensively throughout his career. The unique acoustic guitar was part of a collection Ono presented to the Museum on October 13, 1994 and also included handwritten lyrics, a pair of Lennon's eye glasses, Lennon's guitar from the 1965 Beatles concert at Shea Stadium and more.
The Gibson acoustic guitar, however, remains "one of the most precious artifacts that we have in the Rock ...

Reforming a College : The University of Tennessee Story
ISBN13:by Wisniewski, Richard
Peter Lang Pub Inc
Reforming a College describes what the faculty at one college accomplished despite the constraints endemic to higher education. The new College of Education at The University of Tennessee-Knoxville sought to change how the faculty work with one another, their students, and the profession they serve. What was done at Tennessee reveals what is possible - and often impossible - to achieve in institutions that extol educational change but do not reform their own practices.

PCC in the News
News: Coaching Great Jerry Tarkanian To Enter PCC Court of Champions
Jerry Tarkanian, a legendary Pasadena City College alumnus and head coach of the Lancers' 1967 state champion men's basketball team, has been selected as just the 17th individual to join the PCC Dick Ratliff Court of Champions.
Tarkanian's selection was made by the PCC Sports Hall of Fame committee in a meeting held Tuesday. On Wednesday, Tarkanian was informed of his honor in a congratulatory phone call from Ratliff, the committee chairman and curator of the PCC Sports Hall of Fame, to him at his home in Las Vegas.
A bronze bust of Tarkanian's image will be sculpted by Vic Riesau, the same artist who created the other 16 busts located in the prestigious Court that stands just outside of PCC's Robinson Stadium. It is the first time since 2006 that a bust has been commissioned. The official on-campus induction ceremony that will include the yet-to-be announced 2013 Hall of Fame athletes class has tentatively been set for Sunday, October 6.
This year has become a special one for Tarkanian, who will be officially inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in September. The University of Nevada-Las Vegas is honoring Tarkanian with a life-size bronze statue outside of the Rebels' basketball arena, the Thomas & Mack Center, to be unveiled later this year.
Tarkanian played at PCC (1950-51) and went on to coach here for two seasons from 1966-68. In his two years, the program compiled an extraordinary 67-4 record as he coached the '67 Lancers state champion and the '68 state runner-up squads. He continued a highly successful career head coaching at the NCAA Division I level, including directing UNLV to the 1990 national championship.
Tarkanian, 82, who also had coaching tenures at Long Beach State and Fresno State, guided his teams to four Final Four appearances. His .794 winning percentage is fourth best in NCAA history.
"Tark the Shark" is considered the greatest basketball coach in California Community College history, winning a record four straight state championships from 1964-67, including the first three at Riverside City College. He was inducted into the CCCAA State Sports Hall of Fame in 1999.
In his 38 years of collegiate coaching, he never had a losing season and only three times did he not reach at least 20 victories in a season. His teams won 30 or more games 10 times. He was the winning head coach in an incredible 988 college games, 778 at the major university level.
In 1999, Tarkanian was named as part of PCC's "Distinguished Alumni" during the college's 75th anniversary.
The PCC Court of Champions was created by Ratliff in 2001 and its array of busts is a Who's Who in sports history, including such athletic greats as Jackie Robinson, Darrell Evans, Charles Paddock, and Ellsworth Vines. Tarkanian will be the sixth person honored in the Court for PCC coaching achievements.
Here are the elite 16 Court of Champion members that Tarkanian will join later this year:

Joint Action and Learning Initiative for National and Global Responsibilities for Health (JALI)
- Date submitted: 1 Nov 2011
- Stakeholder type: Major Group
- Name: Joint Action and Learning Initiative for National and Global Responsibilities for Health (JALI)
- Submission Document: Download
Full SubmissionJoint Action and Learning Initiative on National and Global Responsibilities for Health (JALI): Submission on Rio+20 Outcome Document The Joint Action and Learning Initiative for National and Global Responsibilities for Health (JALI) is a global network of civil society and academics working towards a post-Millennium Development Goals global health agreement grounded in the human right to health. In particular, we are exploring the potential for a new treaty, a Framework Convention on Global Health. It has the potential to close unconscionable global health inequities and serve as a platform for linking, progressing, and creating greater accountability on a broad spectrum of issues, including Climate change and nutrition, vital to protecting and improving the public?s health. We encourage the Rio+20 Outcome Document to recognize the inextricable connection between health and sustainable development, and to support the development of a rights-based Framework Convention on Global Health, as described below. Connections between health and sustainable development The links between human health and sustainable development are manifold, with great synergy between the two. Concerns central to sustainable development, such as Climate change and agriculture, have tremendous health implications. An effective response to Climate change and food security will save lives and improve health. These responses must themselves take conscious steps to protect health, such as through Climate change adaptation strategies. Air and water pollution harm both the environment and human health; indoor and outdoor air pollution contribute to more than 3 million deaths annually. The most authoritative interpretation of the right to health recognizes a healthy environment among the underlying determinants of health. Another link between health and sustainable environment is through the imperative to preserve biodiversity. The richness of life on this planet ? planets, animals, and micro-organisms, both land and marine life ? is also the source of a large portion of medicines. Destroying habitats and species means destroying potential sources of new medicines. Similarly, biodiversity is the source of genes being used in bioengineering to make crops such as rice and maize more nutritious and resilient, protecting and promoting human health. A loss of biodiversity may degrade the nutritional quality of local diets. Furthermore, ecosystem services are critical to clean air and water and fertile soil, among other contributions to better health. The connection between health and the environment extends to the importance of universally available quality health services. One of the greatest challenges to sustainable development is population growth. Enabling all people to access quality reproductive health services, while improving children?s health (which also requires improving the health of mothers) so that parents can be confident that their children will survive into adulthood will enable families to have fewer children, thus slowing population growth. Furthermore, ill health ? a major cause of impoverishment directly and through health-related spending, and of reduced economic growth ? is a significant impediment to development and poverty reduction, and to the resilient societies that are best positioned to develop sustainably. Meanwhile, one of the most important modalities for securing adequate financing for health, a just, equitable tax system, is also a source of income that can fund the many forms of investment required for sustainable development. And in ways such as those described above, improved health services that a just tax system can help secure will also contribute to sustainable development. In short, one of the fundamental building blocks of sustainable development is human health. And any overarching effort to improve human health must include steps to improve the health of the planet. A Framework Convention on Global Health A Framework Convention on Global Health (FCGH) could be just such a comprehensive endeavor to improve human health. It could be the basis of the post-2015, post-MDG global health framework. It would aim to close today?s gross health inequities, both among and within countries; ensure universal coverage; create accountability among governments and other global health actors; create and catalyze more inclusive, participatory local, national, and global health processes; achieve adequate funding, and; improve coordination and collaboration based on inclusive country ownership. The treaty would enable health to take its rightful position of priority in other legal regimes that affect health, such as trade and investment. The FCGH could institutionalize the norms, structures, and processes ? the global governance ? required to realize the potential of these initiatives and to enable all people to enjoy the right to health. For instance, it could: ? include ambitious yet achievable global targets, with processes to adapt them to local circumstances and ensure national and community ownership; ? require comprehensive public health strategies addressing both health services and social determinants of health; ? move towards clarifying what are the ?key? health services that universal coverage should encompass and all people should enjoy, while still enabling adaptation to local circumstances and priorities; ? develop a financing framework with clear funding benchmarks for governments? domestic health spending and for international health funding commitments, including non-health sectors central to the underlying determinants of health; ? establish targets on and develop mechanisms to dramatically reduce domestic health inequities and ensure the accountability of health services to the communities they serve; ? support civil society and community participation in planning, implementation, and evaluation of local, national, and international partner-supported health plans, policies, and programs; ? establish commitments and monitoring mechanisms to ensure that health plans, policies, and programs emphasize the health needs of traditionally discriminated against and underserved populations, including women, people who are poor, and marginalized groups; and ? offer specific measures that countries should take in trade, environment, finance, and other realms to protect and promote health, including mechanisms to evaluate the adoption and effective implementation of these measures. States can take immediate steps to achieve an FCGH, such as by: ? lending support to civil society, governmental, and other efforts to develop the targets and indicators, rights and responsibilities, and other aspects of the framework, including innovative incentives and sanctions to promote compliance; and ? supporting consultations on the FCGH, including and especially among disadvantaged populations and communities who stand to be most impacted by the treaty. States could work with civil society and international institutions such as the World Health Organization and UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights to take steps now to advance the goals of and lay the groundwork for successfully implementing an FCGH, including: ? supporting and sharing information on initiatives to educate communities on health and human rights; ? supporting and sharing information on community accountability mechanisms, such as village health committees and community scorecards; and ? developing indicators and disaggregating data in order to develop and monitor policies to better secure the health needs of marginalized populations. The UN Secretary-General has endorsed an FCGH, aptly placing it in the context of human rights: ?Let the AIDS response be a beacon of global solidarity for health as a human right and set the stage for a future United Nations framework convention on global health.? By also endorsing and calling for an FCGH through its Outcome Document, Rio+20 has the potential to help ensure that an FCGH will give due weight to Climate change, food security, and other health issues most directly linked to sustainable development. And an endorsement will build momentum towards achieving a global health agreement that has the potential to transform the global health landscape and serve as a major step towards securing for everyone the human right to health. Momentum is growing to holistically address health ? ensuring universal coverage of equitable, quality health systems and of fundamental human needs such as clean water, sanitation, and nutritious food, while prioritizing the determinants of health and the needs of the world?s least healthy and most marginalized people. The Rio Political Declaration on Social Determinants of Health has reaffirmed and deepened a global commitment to an inclusive approach to health. As improving global health will powerfully contribute to sustainable development and closing global inequities, the Rio+20 Outcome Document should also advance a holistic approach to health, including by supporting an FCGH. The time has come for a Framework Convention on Global Health that would extend, elevate, and realize global commitments to human rights, health equity, and health for all.

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
This installment: books aid the biggest transition of all; Kingsolver's latest; a dark, funny, redemptive novel; and an English comedy of manners based in Morocco.
The End of Your Life Book Club by Will Schwalbe
Books and death--right up my alley. Will's mother is diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. While they're hanging out during chemo sessions they discuss what they're reading. Both are terrifyingly literate; mother was admissions director for Harvard and Will is an editor. Thus the genesis of their ongoing communion of that which strengthened, diverted, and nourished them during this difficult time, i.e. literature. Will's mother lived longer than predicted. It was a pleasure to get to know her on these pages, a self-effacing powerhouse with very strong opinions and enormous generosity. (She spearheaded many projects for refugees all over the world, including building a library in Kabul.) And Will is very good at summing up what they read. A great pleasure.
Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
Climate change is the theme of her most recent book, a novel with A Message. The story: Dellarobia, a poor young mother in Appalachia, sets off for a harebrained romantic assignation, the first "flight." On her way up the mountain she sees trees laden with monarch butterflies. It's a sign, and she turns back. Tourists come to marvel, then scientists, and her life expands with a taste of potential. Ovid, the head researcher, hires her. He comes from the Caribbean and she falls for him but he's married and principled. She finally recognizes it's the limiting shotgun marriage to a decent but dense fellow she needs to shed. Notice I've concentrated on all the human interaction--that's what I'm interested in primarily. But there's lots of material on The Message as well, sometimes a bit too earnest for my taste. However, despite the heavily laden baggage compartment, I was caught up on this flight and glad I joined it.
May We Be Forgiven by A. M. Homes
Her books tend to be dark and this one starts with utter horror: a Greek tragedy in which one bullying, raging, successful brother, George, is involved in a fatal auto accident and hauled off to the bin. His sibling, mild-mannered bachelor history professor Harold, comforts George's wife and George returns, catching them in flagrante, and bashes said wife's head in. Now the kids, Nate and Ashley, are Harold's responsibility. And, as it turns out, his saving grace. They're good kids and he rises to the occasion with lots of bumps along the way. Harold is a Nixon scholar (!?) and I kind of got his fascination with such an insalubrious subject. I loved seeing Harold's pinched soul expand, his household becoming a surprising refuge. So from the worst Thanksgiving to the next, a year later and so much better, where there's forgiveness all around. Absorbing and wickedly witty in turn.
The Forgiven by Lawrence Osborne
Shades of Camus. David and Jo, an English couple on the way to a decadent weekend in Morocco, run over a native in the dark. They arrive with the body in the back seat--real party poopers. Finally the young dead man's father is located and he insists David come along for the burial in a far off village where fossils are mined. Meanwhile the party rages on with all sorts of indulgences that contrast with David's stark isolation and bouts of terror. We get to know what the young man was doing on that dark road--not a pretty story--and his equally scuzzy history. Cultural contrasts abound as the servants observe the "infidels" at debauched play. And ending that is both surprising and inevitable. Fascinating.
Back next Monday.

You could plot the function $e^{rt}$ for different values of $t$ with $r$ being your annual exponential growth rate. Then you could evaluate this function at $t=10$ or $t=1000$.
Plot in with a log scale on the y axis. Then the line will be straight and it will be easy to see where it is going.

Prayers for Bobby: The Trailer
7 comments:
- SickNTired said...
I look forward to watching this movie, however I really can't feel anything for Bobby's mother. And since this movie is on lifetime, its is all about her, since all movies on lifetime deal with women period.
She cause her son to take is own life. No matter what, she failed as a mother. As usual we the gay community is not welcoming her with huge open arms.
If bobby was still live and gay, would she still be the same as she was then???

The movie's not really about Bobby's mother or about Bobby. It's about the many many women who might see the movie and recognize some of their own bigotries...and perhaps transcend them.
I don't think the movie (based on the trailer; I haven't seen the whole film) is asking us to feel for Bobby's mother. It's asking us to feel for Bobby, to be angry at his mother and her limitations, and hope that she'll transcend them. Looks like, towards the end, she's beginning to do just that.
For every parent who has gone through something as cathartic as the death of a child in the process of his/her coming out (even when the parent caused it), there are more who eventually came to acceptance and understanding.
If a movie like this had been on Lifetime in the 80s, we'd be just that much farther along now. Lifetime is the mainstream. The Mainstream is starting to deal with gay issues. Is that bad?
Would you rather that all of Cable TV be the 700 Club and Jerry Falwell? Would that be better?
Somehow, I think not.

I've just watched the movie having access to the press kit.
It's not a typical Lifetime movie. It's not just about the mother, but about the whole family. We see a clash between her principles and her son where she finds out too late what's most important in life. It's a message that everybody should pay attention to and a movie I highly recommend everybody see.

This movie looks fabulous!

i had watch prayers for bobby last week and it had brought me to tears it was a great and wounderful movie it tells how it is to be gay and live in this world.im 20yrs old and im gay when i came out to every one that i was gay it took them awhile to accept me for who i was and this movie had showed the true meaning of family and friends that no matter what you are gay straight bi transgender lesbian as long as your happy thats what matter the most and and im so happy that they came out with a movie prayer for bobby

Well, I was impressed with the work of all the actors. It was a very good story--showing the complexity of middle-class life and the issue in America during Reagan years as the Aids epidemic was on the rise. I think it portrayed clearly the problems that blind adherence to religious faith can cause--that need for a nice orderly universe--and how that poses problems for the children of parents of that generation--and still to this day. It was refreshing to see this film. It was LONG OVERDUE on national television. Good work, everyone.

Hi, I just watched, "Prayers for B obby" on Lifetime Move Network. I cryed for all the Lesbian, Gay, and Transgendered Kids and Adults who have been cast out by their families. Every Church in the World needs to show this movie to their congregation!
How do I get a copy of this movie? Can I buy It?

Weekend Quilting
That being said, I spent the weekend quilting my Fall Equinox top, and I'm really happy with how it turned out. It's far from perfect, but I think it's my best home-machine quilting effort to date.
No, I'm still not over the wavy line quilting. : ) I really love how it softens up such a geometric design. And actually, I feel like this squiggly quilting is a baby step toward free motion quilting. Even though I was using my walking foot, I still needed to have some control over how fast I was pushing the quilt through the machine. The slower I went, the more dramatically the lines wiggled. So I think (at least, I hope) I started to get a feel for the rhythm of it, more easily recognizing when the quilt is dragging too much, etc.
But don't worry, you won't see this wavy line quilting on everything I do. My machine has a lot of decorative stitches—so I have plenty of other available reasons to avoid free motion quilting for some time to come!
Edited to add: This post includes an explanation of how I did the wavy line quilting (scroll to the bottom of the post). Just use your machine's wavy line decorative stitch - so simple! Love it!
I'm linking up to Sew Modern Monday - go check out Megan's blog to see what everybody else is up to.

Beautiful wavy quilting!!

oh I love the wavy line quilting! I haven't tried that yet, but I think I will have to. I think its funny how everyone has their favorite part of the quilting process, my favorite part is the actual quilting its self, I heart free motion quilting :) but I despise binding, particularly hand sewing. I've taken to machine sewing down my binding, which makes it slightly more tolerable, but still my least favorite part!
- January 31, 2011 at 9:06 AM
- BaileyGirl5 said...
I know just how you feel about the machine quilting. This turned out great though and I love the waviness :)
On my last quilt even the wavy line was funky on the back so I finally bit the bullet and just hand quilted it. And guess what .... I love it! So relaxing to do on the couch and the total opposite of stressful. That said, if I could get a quilt to turn out as nice as this one I'd go back to machine quilting in a second!

Love it! I'm finishing up a postage stamp quilt from Rachel's quilt-a-long, and I just might have to try some wavy quilting :)
- January 31, 2011 at 9:18 AM
- Jennifer said...
Your quilting is just beautiful!
I'm laughing though because I just blogged about loving the quilting part of making a quilt; especially the free motion quilting!
I love how we all make quilts yet we are all still different...

Lee...you have nothing to worry about...your quilting looks great...that is why I hand quilt..I can't stand all the material in my sewing machine....now if I had a long arm it might be different...but I don't. I enjoy the relaxation of hand quilting....nothing to hold but the needle and thread...lol
But it turned out beautiful

- CityHouseStudio said...
Your wavy quilting is really beautiful.
I feel the same about quilting, but hope that someday (maybe with a new sewing machine?!) I will get better at free motion quilting and love it. We'll see. For now I'll definitely have to try what you've done here!
- January 31, 2011 at 10:25 AM
- Becky said...
Cute! I use decorative stitches sometimes too, but my machine only has a few :( I hope to get a better machine some day! FMQ-ing really did grown on me! I like it a lot, but I think planning and piecing is still my favorite part of quilting. Binding hands down is my least favorite.
- January 31, 2011 at 11:06 AM
- Elizabeth D. said...
I really love this, I keep meaning to try it, only to remember after I finish quilting something. Maybe I need to make myself a sign or something. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I really love FMQ'ing, it's relaxing to me. It's taken a lot of practice for it to become truly enjoyable, but even when I look back at the quilts that I thought I quilted hideously, they're really not bad at all. I can't wait to see how you wind up binding this one - great job!
- January 31, 2011 at 12:02 PM
- Live a Colorful Life said...
This made me laugh because I just commented on Jennifer's blog (after she said quilting was her favorite part...really???) and read your comment about how it is NOT your favorite part, and then coming here and reading your post...well, I'm totally with you on this one! And the imagery of putting your quilt top in time out made me laugh out loud! So anyway...I'm totally going to try the wavy line quilting. It looks awesome. My cousin is a PHENOMENAL longarm quilter and she never does straight line quilting, always wavy lines. Your quilt looks awesome. You give me hope that I can actually learn to machine quilt this year. It's on my list of things to do because (a) I want to learn and (b) my budget no longer allows me to send them out...at least not if want new fabric!
P.S. sorry I wrote a book here...

- Christie, Describe Happy said...
Your wavy quilting looks gorgeous! Binding is the part this my least favorite, but I can understand what you mean about a quilt not really wanting to be quilted :) Can't wait to see more of this one!
- January 31, 2011 at 12:59 PM
- Kimberly White said...
I totally get you about wrestling with the quilt! And the wavy lines are beautiful! What a lovely quilt!
- January 31, 2011 at 2:25 PM
- Pieces of Sunshine said...
The larger the quilt the harder to wrestle it too. Your quilting looks lovely. I taught myself quilting just over 12 months ago and used free motion quilting on the outer edging, not knowing it may be tricky. I enjoyed trying something totally new and loved the effect.
I'm enjoying the relaxation of hand quilting my current quilt. Binding by hand is one of my favourite bits of quilting.
- January 31, 2011 at 2:41 PM
- Danielle said...
Your quilting is absolutely beautiful! Please share with us how you did this? I'd love to give it a try. I need to break out of the straight line or stippling rut.
- January 31, 2011 at 2:53 PM
- emedoodle said...
I love the colors of that quilt! I also love the wavy line quilting! :) my first "free motioned" quilt was actually a bit like wavy lines crossed with a free motion stipple. I just didn't get the hang of how to move around the quilt on that first try. It still looked great but not quite proper. lol. Keep working it comes with time/practice!
- January 31, 2011 at 10:34 PM
- Sara said...
I hate quilting too. It feels like wrestling. I like the analogy you used, lol! I am really really really really loving the wavy lines...I will have to keep that in mind for a quilt that I'm working on right now. Your quilt is so gorgeous...great job!
- February 1, 2011 at 6:20 AM
- Melissa said...
Nice job on the wavy lines! I always get distracted when quilting a specific design and start making crazy loops :) I like how this turned out :)
- February 1, 2011 at 9:15 AM
- Megan said...
This is great! I think I am going to have to revisit the wavy quilting in the near future. You make it look so fabulous :)
Thanks for linking to {Sew} Modern Monday! Have a wonderful week!
- February 1, 2011 at 11:30 AM
- Lee said...
Danielle, yes, I should have linked that up! (I added the link to my post, above.) It's so simple, just use the wavy line decorative stitch on your machine. Set it on the widest width and a longer stitch length (I did 7.0 width and 2.0 stitch length, but you might want to test out your settings first to find one you like). Then just move the quilt straight and the machine does the wavy part! It's great!
Also, Danielle, FYI, you're a "no reply" blogger, otherwise I would have emailed you this info. Check your settings to fix that.

- Debbie said...
I tried that wavy quilting stitch the other day "just because" & loved how fast it was & how great it looked! I wasn't sure it was an 'approved' quilting stitch, it you know what I mean. ;-)
Now I see it on your blog, and that it's "OK!" Yay. My LEAST favorite part of quilting is BASTING. My fav is the binding. I am new to FMQ & have far to go, but am practicing & even taking a class, so I am hopeful!!
- February 13, 2011 at 1:09 PM
- Janina said...
I love the design you did on this quilt. I just finished a quilt with a very similar pattern and was wondering how I could quilt it because im getting a little tired of the simple meander and this totally inspired me. Thanks! :)

|Vandals fall late at TTU
LUBBOCK, Texas – University of Idaho women's soccer scored a late equalizing goal, but gave up a score with seven minutes remaining and fell, 2-1, in their season opener at Texas Tech on Friday.
Idaho (0-1-0) fell behind in the first minute after head coach Peter Showler said they came out of the gates "like deer in the headlights," and gave a very quick Texas Tech (1-0-0) side too much free space to work with in the early going.
"They were fast and physical – everything we expected. In the first half, we just didn't do a good job of dealing with it," Showler said. "They kept us on our heels. It's a testament to their play, but we also made some unforced errors early on."
To the team's credit, Idaho's eighth-year head man said, the Vandals came out more focused and more aggressive after the half and managed to push forward more consistently. That mindset led to the team's first score when senior forward Chelsea Small earned a mini-breakaway and earned a corner with a high shot.
The Vandals brought it even just seconds later at 78:00 when sophomore Katie Baran sent in a perfect corner to freshman Meli Cortez, who one-timed it to junior defender Chelsie Breen to finish. The score was the third of Breen's career.
"It was a great ball in, we put it where it hurt," Showler said. "It was like a feeding frenzy – the girls hopped on it and finished it off."
The Red Raiders answered just minutes later, unfortunately, when Tech's Paige Strahan took a piece of open space at 20 yards and sent a shot into the top corner out of goalkeeper Liz Boyden's reach at 82:46. Idaho pushed forward in the final minutes, but couldn't build any more late scoring opportunities.
Showler said that despite the loss, there are plenty of positives from Friday.
"We got the first-half nerves out of the way, then came out to play in the second half, and the girls should be proud of the way they played in that half against a very, very good team," Showler said. "We came out in the second half a different team, pushed them up the field, played our game and got them rattled.
"In the big picture, I think we can take a lot from this game."
Overall, Tech held a 22-8 edge in shots, but on-target attempts were just 10-5 in TTU's favor. The Red Raiders also earned eight corners to Idaho's five.
Vandal senior goalkeeper Liz Boyden made eight saves and allowed the two goals in 90 minutes of her first action back since suffering a broken leg early in 2011. Showler said the choice of a starter was very tight between Boyden and fellow senior Caroline Towles, who started 13 games last season, but that Boyden responded very well in her first outing.
"She should take a lot of confidence from that performance," Showler said. "She pulled off some great saves, and it was never going to be easy with the number of shots they were taking."
There won't be much rest for the Vandals, because they fly home Saturday morning and kick off their home opener against South Dakota on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Guy Wicks Field. The Coyotes opened their season at Gonzaga on Friday and suffered a 3-1 defeat. Admission to Sunday's game is free.
