Vlasic, I; Ivancic-Bace, I; Imesek, M; Mihaljevic, B; Brcic-Kostic, K (2008). RecJ nuclease is required for SOS induction after introduction of a double-strand break in a RecA loading deficient recB mutant of Escherichia coli. Biochimie, 90(9):1347-1355.

The SOS response is an important mechanism which allows Escherichia coli cells to maintain genome integrity. Two key proteins in SOS regulation are LexA (repressor) and RecA (coprotease). The signal for SOS induction is generated at the level of a RecA filament. Depending on the type of DNA damage, a RecA filament is produced by specific activities (helicase, nuclease and RecA loading) of either RecBCD, RecF or a hybrid recombination pathway. It was recently demonstrated that RecA loading activity is essential for the induction of the SOS response after UV-irradiation. In this paper we studied the genetic requirements for SOS induction after introduction of a double-strand break (DSB) by the I-SceI endonuclease in a RecA loading deficient recB mutant (recB1080). We monitored SOS induction by assaying beta-galactosidase activity and compared induction of the response between strains having one or more inactivated mechanisms of RecA loading and their derivatives. We found that simultaneous inactivation of both RecA loading functions (in recB1080 recO double mutant) partially impairs SOS induction after introduction of a DSB. However, we found that the RecJ nuclease is essential for SOS induction after the introduction of a DSB in the recB1080 mutant. This result indicates that RecJ is needed to prepare ssDNA for subsequent loading of RecA protein. It implies that an additional type of RecA loading could exist in the cell.

TV Watch Top Chef
Hosting Top Chef has many perks, but staying super-slim after a season sampling an array of dishes is not one of them.
Luckily, Padma Lakshmi doesn't mind one bit – and even admitted she goes up two dress sizes at the end of every season.
"I love food way too much to starve myself just to look good," the single mom told Fitness for its November/December cover story, out Oct. 29. "I will put in the work at the gym so I can enjoy what I eat."

The Top Chef season 4 winner, Stephanie Izard, wed craft-beer consultant Gary Valentine on Sunday in Chicago and, as expected, the menu was something to talk about.
"I was blown away by the food at our wedding! We had such amazing friends put together an incredible menu that everyone loved," the bride, 36, tellsPEOPLE.
The reception at the Bridgeport Art Center featured a "phenomenal pasta course" made by Chris Pandel, the chef of Chicago's The Bristol and Balena. Guests, including Top Chef season one finalist Lee Ann Wong, had a choice of cavatelli, smoked eggplant and heirloom tomatoes or a rigatoni dish with pork ragu.

Not in the mood for barbecue this Memorial Day? Top Chef Season Three winner Hung Huynh suggests you try his tuna tacos instead.
"They're a perfect party food to serve for Memorial Day Weekend since they are delicious and different from the usual burger and barbecue options," the executive chef for restaurants Catch (in New York and Miami) and The General tells PEOPLE. "Tuna tacos are also nice for summertime as it's light and refreshing, and when mixed with a little taco crunch, it is ideal on a hot day."
Sound good? Here's the recipe:

Kate Bosworth, 30, stars in the thriller Black Rock, in theaters now, and chatted with PEOPLE this week about "one last thing" ...
Last sunset I watched: "Last night. I live in the hills of L.A., and I get a beautiful view of the sunset on my patio. The sunrise, however – that normally escapes me."
Last reality TV I watched: "I love all the cooking shows like Chopped and Top Chef. I've just started to learn to cook in the last couple of years, and I love it. My specialty is a sausage ragu; it takes about six or seven hours to cook. That's almost my mini-vacation, cooking with my fiancé [director Michael Polish] and his daughter. Just having that family time.
Last activity: "Boxing. I've never been a very patient yoga student, so my exercise of choice is something a little bit more action-oriented."

From Top Chef to top cyclist!
Top Chef judges chef Tom Colicchio and Gail Simmons kicked off 2013 on a healthy note by they visiting SoulCycle's Tribeca location on Wednesday.
"While Gail was upfront wearing a SoulCycle t-shirt, Tom was in the back wearing black shorts, an Under Armour tank and a do-rag," an onlooker tells PEOPLE.
The co-judges are no strangers to the cycling craze, the source adds. "They both spin on a regular basis" and "spin together regularly when they're filming Top Chef".
After powering through the last song of the class – Beyoncé's "Halo" – Colicchio stopped to chat with Food & Wine magazine publisher Christina Grdovic.
Here's to hoping for a Quickfire Competition on a bike!

Andy Cohen may be a seasoned host on Bravo, but on the harbor he's definitely a bit of a fish out of water.
In a sneak peek of Tom Colicchio's Hooked Up, Cohen guest stars and catches his first big one on a fishing trip in New York Harbor.
This is one set up that's hardly smooth sailing. From the initial look of disgust on Cohen's face when talking about worms and his self-proclaimed title of "Jewish Adventurist," the episode is filled with laugh-out-loud moments. Even the Top Chef judge pulls one over on Cohen with a less-than-appropriate outfit for his novice guest.

In early May, Denver's Waste-water Operations group helped the city's schools in a fundraiser that went just ducky.
Denver Duck Drop participants "adopted" rubber ducks that were dropped into Goldsmith Gulch and raced through George Wallace Park. Sponsors of the winning ducks received airline tickets, gift certificates, and other prizes.
Now in its third year, the Duck Drop was part of the city's ongoing Duck Fest fundraiser and carnival, with proceeds benefiting elementary schools in the city's Council District 4. Past Duck Fests have raised a total of $35,000. The underlying mission: bringing home the importance of water conservation and environmental stewardship, a part of the public works department's "Keep It Clean" information campaign.

Have you watched the movie "The Core"? If so the you will remember that a lot of bad things happen when the earth's core stops rotating, consequently leading to a collapse of earth's magnetic field. Rest assured that this is pure Hollywood and although the earth's magnetic field can reverse itself as it has done numerous times in the past, it can never stop existing as long as the core spins in any direction. So what happens in the movie as a result of the loss of the magnetic field? Well, a lot. Unfortunately the movie gets most of these wrong. No boiling of the seas by the "deadly" microwaves can happen. This is because first of all microwaves are not affected by the presence of a magnetic field and second of all the intensity of the microwaves that "hammer" the earth every day is really small. If it was higher then they would "overshadow" all of today's radio and mobile communications (these are all based on microwaves). The truth of the matter is that the earth's magnetic field can only protect us from charged particles (like high energy protons), which compose the solar wind. These charged particles pose a risk to electronic equipment as NASA found out when the first launch the space telescope Hubble.
Simple model schematic vs actual magnetic field of earth
So how exactly does this field act as a shield to the solar wind? It is quite simple actually. The magnetic field forms a protective and invisible bubble around the earth called a magnetosphere. Keep in mind that the magnetosphere is not actually a sphere as it is affected by the solar wind resulting in a shape which can best be described as a teardrop with a tail extending away from the sun.
When a charged particle enters the magnetosphere it changes trajectory. This is because a force is applied on the particle by the magnetic field making it follow a spiral line with a direction parallel to the field's lines. And since all the field lines meet at the poles, the particles eventually end up there where in our case they interact with the atmosphere producing the beautiful aurora lights. You can see how a beam of charged particles bends in the presence of a magnet by watching the clip below.
The direction of the applied force on the particle can be found by simply remembering the following right hand rule (doesn't have to be Fleming's, it can be your own hand).
Image source: Wikimedia Commons, Jfmelero
This rule tells us the following. If a particle is moving vertically to the magnetic field lines then the applied force (F) on the particle will be vertical to the plane generated by the B and I vectors. As such, when the particle enters a magnetic field in a not perfect 90 degree angle then it will be caught is a spiral loop with a direction parallel to the field's lines as seen below.
Have a go with the following simulation from the King's Centre of Visualization in Science and see if you can replicate the spiral motion. Simulation is titled. "Motion of charged particle in a magnetic field".
The same principle is used in the Large Hadron Collider as a method for preventing the plasma (which in essence is composed of charged particles) from touching the walls of the containers it runs through. A field is applied which lines are parallel to the desired direction we want the plasma to take…and that is it. The plasma will follow the lines maintaining a spiral motion.

Cameron Diaz is one of the few big movie stars who can sell a movie on name alone. In a climate where movie stars are quickly losing cache in favor of spectacle, each success of an actor's brand breathes new hope. This weekend further strengthens Diaz as a moviemaking name with her latest revenge comedy "The Other Woman."
Diaz is Carly, a workaholic lawyer who has found a relationship with potential longevity. When her beau Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) reschedules meeting her father, Carly shows up unexpectedly to surprise him. Instead of Mark welcoming her, Carly comes face-to-face with Mark's wife Kate (Leslie Mann). Kate quickly puts things together and confronts Carly. In lieu of fighting, the two band together in a mutual hatred. When Carly and Kate discover a third woman involved, a young voluptuous young woman named Amber (Kate Upton), they find themselves a trio as the three plot to avenge their shared betrayal.
As mid-range comedies go, they can either connect to fall flat. It's rare that something falls in the middle. "The Other Woman" has the star power to succeed. Between the pith-perfect casting of the three women to the fearlessness in its joke delivery, it knocks it out of the park. Diaz and Mann especially have a chemistry that is so refreshing.
The film will likely be forgotten quickly, as many comedies do. But those who see it will enjoy it enough to watch it again. Its story may be centered on women, but the film has a script that has a much larger audience. 3.5 out of 5 stars

Hair Transplant Costs
The cost of a hair transplant in Connecticut and the rest on the Northeast depends mostly on the degree of your hair loss, how many grafts you need, and/or how many sessions you need to complete your hair restoration procedure. During your personal consultation with Dr. Scott Boden he will review the factors that will both impact your results and ultimate cost.
Hair transplant costs can also vary based on the expertise of the hair transplant surgeon and philosophy of the medical practice. Dr. Boden has over 10 years experience performing hair transplantation and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Hair Restoration Surgeons. Dr. Boden performs only one hair transplant procedure at one time. You are the only focus. Many commercial chains may perform more than one procedure at a time and discount based on volume.
Our approach is to perform the highest quality procedure and to make the procedure as pleasant an experience as possible.
Follicular Unit Extraction (FUE) costs are usually more than traditional follicular unit hair transplantation because it is much more time intensive and involves more time and attention to detail when removing the hair follicles.
At our facility the price we quote you is all inclusive. When researching costs for hair transplant you may come across offers for cheap surgery. Cheap surgery is no bargain. Often the cheaper quotes don't include other costs that are then surreptitiously added on after you have committed. You may be quoted cost per individual hair, not cost per graft, which typically contain 1 to 3 hairs each.
Other expenses to keep in mind when calculating a hair transplant cost may be the price of any extra medication, blood tests, anesthesia, and facility fees.
In our practice we offer several forms of financing to help make the costs of hair transplantation as affordable as possible. For more information call 860-563-1400 to schedule your comprehensive hair loss consultation or go to our go to our Patient financing page on information on how to pay for your hair restoration procedure.

SEATTLE - Right fielder Mike Wagner belted two home runs and senior starter Sean White threw six solid innings as the Washington baseball team beat third-ranked Arizona State, 5-1, in the first game of an important three-game Pac-10 series Saturday at Husky Ballpark.
The game was the third straight in which a Husky hit two homers. Wagner, a junior from Woodinville, upped his season total to 13, second on the team.
Washington, hoping to finish over .500 in conference play, took another step toward that goal, improving to 36-15 overall and 11-8 in the Pac-10 with five games left to play. Historically, an over-.500 Pac-10 record is good for an NCAA tournament invitation. ASU fell to 46-11 overall and 12-7 in conference.
White, who had a streak of eight straight wins over Pac-10 opposition broken last weekend in a loss at UCLA, got back on track with a strong outing against the Sun Devils. The righty from Mercer Island worked six innings, allowing one run on five hits while striking out three. He improved his season record to 7-4.
ASU took a 1-0 lead in the second. Steve Garrabrants singled and stole second base before scoring on a single from Tuffy Gosewisch. Washington tied the game in the bottom of the second when Wagner led off with his 12th home run of the season.
Washington took its first lead in the bottom of the fourth. Shortstop Tila Reynolds singled and moved to second on a sacrifice fly before scoring when Wagner belted his second homer of the game, giving the UW a 3-1 lead.
In the fifth, the Huskies scored a pair to make it 5-1. With John Otness aboard at second on a walk and a wild pitch, Brent Lillibridge singled through the right side. Otness slid past the tag at the plate and scored. Reynolds followed with a double to the wall in center and Lillibridge also narrowly beat a tag at home, giving the UW its four-run edge.
ASU freshman lefty Erik Averill (7-1) suffered the first loss of his career, allowing five runs on five hits over five innings.
Lefty reliever Trent Baysinger threw the final three innings for the UW to pick up his sixth save. Wagner and Reynolds accounted for five of the Huskies' six hits as Wagner went 2-for-2 with two walks and two homers and Reynolds was 3-for-4 with one RBI.
The Huskies and Devils play game two of the series Sunday at 1:00 p.m. at Husky Ballpark.
LINESCORE Pacific-10 Conference Washington 5, Arizona State 1 Arizona St. 010 000 000 -- 1 6 0 Washington 010 220 00x -- 5 6 2 Erik Averill, Jered Liebeck (6), Javy Lopez (8), Mark Sopko (8) and Tuffy Gosewisch.

WKU is keeping it interesting for the fans down the stretch. They beat Florida Atlantic in overtime 78-69 at Boca Raton on Thursday night.
This was the second overtime game, and it had been a dozen years since the Toppers played back-to-back overtime contests. This is another first for the fans this season - the first time a WKU squad has won both OT games while on the road.
This moves the Hilltoppers closer to the #3 seed they are hoping for in the Sun Belt Conference tournament. Their conference record moves to 11-5. WKU is one game behind Middle Tennessee and Troy for first place in the Sun Belt East Division with one game to play.
The tie-breakers are mind-boggling because of the log jam in the Sun Belt this year.
Regulation ended with 61-61. Steffphon Pettigrew had two chances to put WKU ahead with 1.5 seconds left on the clock while standing at the charity stripe, but he missed both.
AJ Slaugther stepped up again in the overtime stanza, taking just a few seconds to score in the OT and starting a 11-4 run to put the Hilltoppers in charge.
Slaughter scored 13 of his team-high 19 points after halftime including seven during the decisive overtime run, the last with 1:20 to play to put WKU up 72-67.

A presentation included pictures of the Bangkok airport and how they use a fabric cover to reflect sunlight and control the temperature beneath it.
This structure was made of PTFE and glass but the principles would still apply for ETFE and other materials. The shape of the structure traps more of the heat near the roof and enables the floor and bottom half to be cool. The airport structure covers about 1 million square feet which is 23 acres.
Suvarnabhumi Airport has the world's third largest single-building airport terminal (563,000 square metres / 6,060,000 square feet). Only about 16% of it is the fabric cover areas.
A recent cost quotation for just an ETFE roof is the 20.9 million Canadian dollars Hightex group replacement of the BC Place Stadium roof.
Hightex Group plc (AIM:HTIG), a leading designer and installer of large membrane roofs and façades worldwide, is delighted to announce that it has been awarded a contract to supply the entire retractable roof and the fixed façade for the BC Place Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. When completed, this roof will be the largest cable supported retractable roof in the world. The projected area of the retractable portion of the roof is approximately 6,700m², requiring a total of approximately 13,400m² of membrane material.
The new roof is part of the revitalization of the BC Place Stadium, which remains the home of the BC Lions. Once completed, the stadium will also host the first season of the Vancouver Whitecaps as a Major League Soccer Franchise in 2011. The existing pneumatic dome is to be dismantled and replaced with a partially fixed, partially retractable fabric roof as well as a transparent membrane facade.
The new roof substructure consists of a radial cable net and outer steel columns. The fabric roof is divided up into 36 fixed outer panels and 36 inner retractable segments. The outer fixed roof, to be the subject of a separate contract, has an area of about 34,000m². The inner roof will consist of a double layer Tenara membrane with an inflated inter-space to form "cushion" elements. The cushions will be pre-stressed using hydraulic tensioning units and inflation via fan units.
The retractable roof will be connected to the 36 radial cables by specially designed sliding and driving carriages. The deflated cushion will be stored at the centre of the roof in a membrane garage. To close the roof, the driving carriages will pull the membrane outwards radially towards the perimeter. The retractable roof is made of a highly translucent fabric which will allow the fabric to be folded without damage. The new façade comprises some 6,000m² of transparent membrane panels using ETFE. The facade panels are pre-stressed using metal arches and are attached directly to the primary steel structure.
Hightex's total scope on the project includes the fabrication of the outer roof, fabrication and installation of the retractable roof including drive technology and the fabrication and installation of the ETFE facade.

" There might not be any team in the NHL that saw the Rangers at their worst more often than the Senators this season.
They beat the Rangers in three of their four meetings and all three of those games featured the Rangers as out of sorts as they were all year. The first matchup, at the Garden in October, is memorable because the Rangers blew a 4-1 lead in the second half of the third period before losing in a shootout.
With that loss, the Rangers fell to 3-3-3 on the season and they'd never be in such dire straits again the rest of the way. At least, not against teams other than the Senators.
They lost 3-0 to them at the Garden in January and then 4-1 in Ottawa in March, a game that was part of the three-game losing streak that wound up making the Atlantic Division race a little too close for comfort down the stretch. The key in all of the losses was the speed of the Senators "

Interim Head Coach Bruce Arians is a mad man, and he's letting the NFL know it. Arians feels that his rookie Andrew Luck is getting more than his fair share of cheap shots.
One would say it's kind of a compliment that a rookie signal caller would worry a defense enough to go the extra mile on him.
"Even if Andrew slides, guys are coming for his head," Arians said, according to Sal Paolantonio of ESPN.
"That was a cheap shot by Landry. He got a penalty. But a penalty is not enough. Landry should have been ejected from the game. He is sliding, and it's illegal to launch yourself at the quarterback's head like that. He should have been ejected."

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Widespread Adoption of Biomarkers Has Been...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
Genzyme detected a virus that impairs cell growth in one of six bioreactors at its Allston Landing, MA, manufacturing facility. The company has thus decided to stop bulk manufacturing while the plant is sanitized. The company expects the plant to be fully operational by the end of July.
The virus strain Vesivirus 2117 has not been shown to cause human infection. It is known to interfere with the growth of CHO cells used to produce biologic drugs and was likely introduced through a nutrient used in the manufacturing process, the firm explains.
Current inventories for Cerezyme® (for Gaucher disease) and Fabrazyme® (for Fabry disease) are not sufficient to meet projected global demand. Genzyme is currently working to clarify the timing and extent of the Cerezyme supply constraint. The firm expects Fabrazyme supply constraints to occur for a limited period beginning in September.
The 185,000-sq-ft facility at Allston has a manufacturing capacity of 12,000 liters. Production of Myozyme (for Pompe disease) is also undertaken here, but is reportedly not affected.
Genzyme also confirmed that this virus was the cause of declines in cell productivity at its Allston and Geel, Belgium, facilities in two previous instances in 2008, which were subsequently fully addressed. The firm was able to detect the virus in this case using a highly specific assay it developed after standard tests were unable to identify the cause of the previous productivity declines. Genzyme reports that it is adding steps to increase the robustness of its raw materials screening and viral removal processes.

GENERIC NAME: pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine
BRAND NAME: Pneumovax 23, Pnu-Imune 23
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Pneumococcal vaccine is used for prevention of pneumonia. This pneumococcal vaccine contains chemicals (polysaccharides) extracted from 23 types of Streptococcus pneumonia bacteria. Upon injecting pneumococcal vaccine, our body recognizes these chemical as foreign and produces antibodies to destroy the chemicals. Antibodies are blood protein that help the body fight infection and destroy other harmful substances. Once produced, these antibodies destroy injected Streptococcus pneumonia chemicals. However, the antibodies remain active in the body and can detect the same chemicals from live Streptococcus pneumonia in the future. If a vaccinated person comes in contact with Streptococcus pneumonia the antibodies will destroy the bacteria and prevent pneumonia or reduce its severity. The FDA approved pneumococcal vaccine polyvalent in June 1983.
This vaccine should not be confused with pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV13) used in special conditions (children <5 years old, for example) because often in the medical literature the non-specific term "pneumococcal vaccine" is used.

FEDERAL WAY, Wash. - Stanford University's Erin Dobratz and Katie Norris were among the list of 13 synchronized swimmers named to the 2003 World Championships & Olympic Games Training Squad, announced Monday after three days of intense evaluation at the Weyerhaeuser-King County Aquatic Center in Federal Way, Wash. Dobratz is a junior from Clayton, California, while Norris is a junior from Tallahassee, Florida.
The 2003 U.S. Senior National Team will represent the United States against the world's best at the 2003 World Championships in Barcelona. The team will also compete at the 2003 Pan American Games in Santo Domingo and the 2004 Olympic Qualifying Open in Athens.
The squad of 13 will regroup in March at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs for further evaluation. In May, the squad will be cut to a delegation size of 10 for the World Championships, and further pared to nine in May of 2004 for the Olympic Games.
The Trials process began at the 2002 U.S. Nationals, and progresses over four phases throughout the year. The athletes are tested in eight technical elements, then evaluated by 13 judges during each of four pre-set routine swims. All scores throughout the trials process are confidential until the teams are announced.
Also named Monday were the 12 members of the 2003 U.S. National Team II, which will compete at the 2003 United Airlines Open, July 15-19 in Federal Way, Wash. Stanford freshmen Ashley McHugh and Cassidy Ramage were among the 12 people selected to that squad.

CHICAGO — The youngster, the tallest player on his side of the net who happens to be the setter, came up the biggest when it mattered most.
Sophomore James Shaw made two remarkable plays down the stretch of the fifth set, Stanford's big guys were huge when it mattered at the net, and the Cardinal capped a remarkable comeback to finally beat BYU, 25-18, 21-25, 22-25, 29-27, 15-12, and advance to Saturday's NCAA national-championship game.
Stanford (24-8) had three losses to its Mountain Pacific Sports Federation rival this season, including five days earlier in Provo in the league's tournament title match.
"It is hard to beat somebody four times and you know what, they had us," said John Kosty, who has Stanford back in the title match for the first time since it won it all in 2010. "We made some really big plays."
"This is the first best win I've had in my career," said Stanford senior outside hitter Brian Cook, who led the Cardinal with 19 kills, the last a back-row blast that ended the match.
Senior middle Eric Mochalski added 18 kills and senior outside Steven Irvin 17 for Stanford, which made it to the semis by winning a play-in match Tuesday against Erskine.
BYU's season ended 21-9 despite yet another fantastic performance by Taylor Sander, the senior who was named the AVCA National Player of the Year. Sander went out with a season-high 28 kills for the MPSF champions.
"Taylor Sander is an incredible player," Kosty said, "and their entire team played really, really tough all the way to the end. It was an absolute battle and it was one point here or there and that's how it usually goes with two evenly matched teams."
Sander also had four service aces and teammate Josue Rivera added 10 kills.
But nothing could make up for seeing two chances to close out the fourth set and then three more ties, at 26, 27, and 28, before Stanford forced a fifth set.
"We had all the chances in the world to finish that set out and we didn't make the plays and they did," Sander said. "And it was the same in the fifth. We weren't able to buckle down and make those plays and they were able to capitalize. That was the match right there."
BYU coach Chris McGown knew his team squandered a big chance.
"We were doing so many things well," he said.
But at 27-27 in the fourth, Stanford got a big kill from sophomore middle Conrad Kaminski, who finished with six overall. And then he served a bullet into the back right corner, one of his four aces, to force a deciding set.
"Conrad just stepped up there," Cook said.
Speaking of serving, Stanford had a whopping 21 errors, which it couldn't blame this time on the altitude in Provo or the environment at BYU. Shaw had six, Cook four, and Kaminski, and Irvin three each.
But it didn't matter. In the fifth set, BYU led by two on three occasions, the last at 9-7. And then Stanford came up big play after play. Mochalski had a kill and then a block on Rivera. After a BYU timeout, its last, Mochalski blocked Sander's back-row attack and it was 11-9 Stanford.
The next point saw Shaw make a fantastic dig on the first ball, libero Grant Delgado made a great set with his setter down on the court, and Cook buried it.
"We made some nice plays at the end," Kosty said.
But BYU scored the next two points, on a serving error by Shaw and block by Rivera and Devin Young.
And then Shaw made the play of the night.
With his team up 12-11 Shaw went up to save an overpass, using every bit of his length, and set the ball perfectly with one hand to the left pin. Mochalski took advantage and crushed it.
"That's just instinct for me. I've been trying to make those plays my whole career," Shaw said. "I pride myself on saving balls that are going over the net."
Cook appreciates it.
"He's a luxury at the net for passers," Cook said. "We can be more aggressive with our passing because that's actually where he likes it, passes that are almost going over the net, because he sets from like 11 feet."
Shaw is the son of the former Stanford women's coach, Don Shaw, who led the Cardinal to four national titles.
Irvin got a kill to set up match point at 14-10. Rivera then gave BYU life with a cross-court kill, but Cook ended it with his back-row kill.
"I don't remember it," Cook said with a laugh.
BYU won't forget it.
"It had to be one of the best semifinals that's been played in this tournament in a long, long time," said McGown, who won't get many arguments.
He thought that Stanford, playing its fourth match in eight days and away from home for nine days, might have a struggle.
"For them to come up with energy and do what they did was pretty impressive," McGown said.
In their previous meetings, BYU won in four in Provo behind 18 kills by Sander. At Stanford, BYU won in five, the scores all-too-similar to Thursday's (25-22, 20-25, 25-21, 20-25, 15-7) and Sander collected 27 kills, his previous high this season.
Last Saturday, in the MPSF title match in Provo, Sander had 15 kills in a three-set sweep.
"It's so hard losing and it's so hard for my career at BYU to be done," Sander said. "But the hardest part is not losing that match but that I don't get to battle with my boys anymore. That's the hardest part for me is moving on from my team.
"I'm going to miss that. It was a fun match and a fun career, but Stanford is a great team and I wouldn't take any guys over the guys we have on our side of the net."

Years ago, it seemed that the cannabis community was dominated by males. Men were the principal growers and seemed to be the predominant partakers as well. But no longer! Over the past 20 years, we've seen more and more women embrace the miracles of medical cannabis and the joys of smoking recreationally. The Cannabis Cup in Amsterdam has also seen a marked increase the number of female judges, those who chose to spend their Thanksgiving sampling some of the world's best pot. Here's a gallery of portraits of women in different states of canna-bliss!

Studies show texting while driving can be 23 times more dangerous than keeping your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
State Representative Doug Holder wants to ban texting and driving. He's filed legislation for the sixth year in a row.
"There are eleven teenagers that die every day in United States from texting while driving. 25% of all accidents are now attributed to texting while driving," said Holder.
The ban carries a 30 dollar fine and is a non moving violation. Police would have to stop you for some other infraction. Holder says he's spent the last few years working out objections.
"We've really whittled it down to what we believe will pass and this is the year we believe this is the year that Florida will make texting illegal while driving," said Holder.
But there is still opposition.
When lawmakers first started talking about banning just talking on the cell phone before texting existed, many African-Americans complained they would be profiled and stopped under the legislation.
The most powerful opponent is State Senator Joe Negron; he's the Senate Budget Chair, and he says we don't need another law to ban what he says is already illegal.
"If you're texting as you're driving down the road and weaving all over the road, you're being a careless driver. You should get a citation for careless driving," said Negron.
170,000 people were arrested for careless driving last year.
Fourteen states have banned texting while driving.

In follow-up to Part I of Marketing your 'Soft Skills', I trust that you have now taken some time to consider your 'soft skills', and what you have to offer your next employer, in concert with your professional credentials.
As I mentioned previously, more import is definitely being placed on a candidate's soft skills. In some cases, a candidate with less experience will get the position due to his or her personality and effective communications style, demonstrated during the course of the interview(s).
The downside of this situation is of course remuneration, as it would be adjusted due to the difference in the educational and professional requirements previously outlined for the position. However, the fact is that the candidate is now gainfully employed, and will learn and move forward when the opportune time arrives, or is proactively sought after.
While this is a disappointment to job hunters, it is an understandable circumstance as the 'best fit' for the team, from a personality profile perspective, can be perceived as even more important than practical experience. I have certainly witnessed the hiring of staff based on personality, where others have had more experience to offer, and I am confident that my readers can also relate to this scenario.
Now, let's get to the core of this article and review potential 'transferable skills', which could look like
- Good time & project management skills
- Ability to influence others
- Team player attitude
- Excellent listening skills
- Easily builds strong relationships
- Strong organizational skills
For example, let's say a salesperson working at Home Depot desperately wants to get into the hospitality industry but has no prior experience to offer. The skills of a successful salesperson would of course easily transfer over to the hospitality industry for obvious reasons, and therefore, I say go for it! I realize this is a very basic and elementary example, but I am sure you get my point. I believe that it really comes down to 'how you present' in an interview, as I have stated in my previous articles.
Your 'unique personal skills' may look like
- Goes above and beyond
- Positive attitude
- Strong work ethic
- Quick study
- Creative
- Self-directed
Of course, we all have something different to bring to the table, as it were. How we communicate our given skills is what matters, and what makes the difference when under pressure in situations such as job interviews, exams, performance reviews, et cetera.
In my last interview a few years ago, I was asked a question I had never been asked before, which I would like to share with you now. This was a totally spontaneous and brilliant question!
Question: If you only had one word to describe yourself, what would it be, in 30 seconds or less? What would your response be given the same timeline? Be spontaneous!

I was going to delete this question, but I couldn't because it has been answered. I am abandoning this question because I am going to replace my desktop install with a server install. We'll see if that fixes it.
I installed LAMP with apache2 on my Ubuntu 10.04 system. It works and serves files from /var/www. I followed the instruction found [here][1]. The new site username is selah and the domain name is selahsanctuary.org.
Here's my file, /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/selah

I verified that /home/selah/public_html/index.html exists.
If I visit http://selahsanctuary.com, I get the file served from /var/www. I found a suggestion that I add /etc/apache2/conf.d/virtual.conf with this line:
NameVirtualHost * but that caused an error so I removed it. Then I found a suggestion to add a line in /etc/host like
127.0.0.1 selahsanctuary.org. I did and restarted apache2. No help. So finally, I ask, what should I try next? Do I have a typo somewhere?
I tried to simplify and found another sample of a site-available file like this:
<VirtualHost selahsanctuary.org>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost
#We want to be able to access the web site using www.selahsanctuary.org or selahsanctuary.org
ServerAlias www.selahsanctuary.org
DocumentRoot /home/selah/public_html
#we want specific log file for this server
CustomLog /home/selah/selah-access.log combined
and I edited my /etc/hosts file so there is now a line like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost www.selahsanctuary.org selahsanctuary.org but it still serves the file from /var/www (I did remember to a2ensite selah and /etc/init.d/apache2 reload)

Isn't it time that homophobia was called what it really is? Hate. In Jackson Mississippi a local prom was canceled because a lesbian student wanted to bring her girlfriend as her date.
This is just another event in a long history of hate against homosexuals in the education system. Last month a school district in Wyoming forced anti hate banners to be removed from schools because they were sponsored by a gay and lesbian organization.
Isn't it the job of schools and educators to teach tolerance? Something needs to change. Events like this just tell America's gay and lstudents that they are lesser citizens, which by the constitution of this country isn't true.
As an arts educator, I have many openly gay and lesbian students. I fear every day that some decision will be made that keeps them from having the same rights as the other students in the school. Discriminating against someone because they are gay is no different that discriminating against someone for their race and religion. It's time to stop the hate.

Cardiac Ultrasound or Echocardiography
Cardiac ultrasound, also known as echocardiography, is a non-invasive procedure which utilizes sound waves to produce images of the heart. Detailed, anatomical, information such as wall structure/function, valvular morphology and blood flow are assessed in real time and captured/stored for review by Cardiologists. Cardiac ultrasound has begun to replace older, more invasive, procedures for the diagnosis heart diseases and abnormalities. The non-invasive nature of ultrasound makes it a safer, more cost-effective imaging procedure.
Some of its uses include:
- The detection of valvular disease/abnormalities
- Assessment of the movement of the various segments of the muscle walls
- Evaluation of blood flow within the heart
- The detection of excess fluid surrounding the heart
- Overall evaluation of heart function
What Is Heart Disease?
Heart Disease is a term used to describe a variety of diseases which effect the heart in different ways, but ultimately effect the normal function of the heart.
Various diseases that fall under this term include:
- Diseases of the blood vessels of the heart or Coronary artery disease
- Heart rhythm disturbances or arrhythmias
- Infections
- Structural ailments present at birth – Congenital defects
- Structural ailments developed due to viruses or disease – Acquired defects

The P&G Gymnastics Championships on NBC isn't just a chance to see some great athletic moves on the gym mat in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania it is a chance to see who might be representing the United States at the next Olympics. According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Saturday, the fans at Consol Energy Center were delighted to see who might be the next new face for the sport as the competition played out.
One athlete many fans will be talking about is Jazmyn Foberg. International Gymnast Magazine is reporting that the athlete captured first place in the all-around of the junior women's competition of the P&G Gymnastics Championships. Her focus on all the events had fans impressed as she revealed no weakness in any of the competition and seemed extremely focused and confident.
On Saturday night the fans of gymnastics are going to see some great athletes take to the mat in a tough competition on NBC. Simone Biles, Kyla Ross and Brenna Dowell are all expected to be part of the women's competition and the cameras will be watching to see how they respond under pressure.
While the championships are one of the biggest events in the country, so far not many of the athletes seen on the previous U.S. Gymnastics team seen at the Olympics are looking to seriously compete. Training privately and waiting to make a debut later on in the year, the athletes currently competing in the Pittsburgh event are young men and women who are setting their sights on getting consideration before the decisions of who makes the team are made. The idea of training for a gold medal might not be a thought for some viewers as it is so far away, but for these young athletes the Olympics is all they think about.

Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme is a very disappointing gay man on an upcoming episode of the Independent Film Channel's original comedy television series "Portlandia." According to SPIN on April 15, Homme is just the latest musician to make a cameo on the skit show created by Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein.
Now in its fourth season, the Peabody Award-winning show is known for its improvisation doesn't stop short when it comes to guest star musicians. Homme is just the latest and actually plays himself as Carrie Brownstein's gay brother in a satirical skit called "Disappointing Gays."
In the skit, Josh brings his new boyfriend, played by comedian Nick Swardson, home to meet his sister and things quickly become awkward, not because Josh is gay, but because Carrie has different expectations. When the couple and their dog visit Fred and Carrie there is hope that they will help them redecorate their house but are quickly surprised to find out that Josh and Nick aren't stereotypical gay men.
Carrie, a bit surprised when she finds out they would prefer to play X-Box and drink Jager bombs, labels them "disappointing gays." And instead of being interior design experts, Josh and Nick instead make a mess and of the house and are not only "disappointing gays," but also turn out to be terrible houseguests.
The role is just the latest acting gig Homme can add to his resume as an actor. Besides auditioning as a droid for "Star Wars," he was the voice behind the character of Satan in "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," and has also sang a taxidermy love song with Reggie Watts in an episode of "Comedy Bang! Bang!." The episode featuring Josh Homme airs on April 18 on IFC.

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Eric Hancock reviews the exhibition Staring at the Sun, curated by Craig Drennen, at Saltworks, Atlanta, on view through June 14, 2014. The show features works by Eleanor Aldrich, Jane Fox Hipple, Bonnie Maygarden, and Lauren Silva.
Hancock writes: "The exhibition's comparison of painterly abstraction's tenuous historical progress and the sun's eventual destruction of the human species is a very loose analogy, but a telling one, nonetheless. The show's brilliant associative viewpoint asserts a positive status for painting and, interpreted liberally, ultimately conjures questions about art's identity crisis as a cultural phenomenon; what are its true epistemological limitations, and how can it function as a good for the individual or, to borrow the press release's long view, for society? Stylistic resemblances amongst the works tap into these questions and more directly address the relationship contemporary image makers have with digital technology."
Lilly Lampe compares two exhibitions of contemporary painting: Painters Panting, recently on view at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center and Painter Painter at the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, on view through September 27, 2013.
Lampe concludes: "These exhibitions and their ilk call attention to the insecurities of painting by their very nature, but in their execution declare the evolution of painting more than a primacy of painting's original existence. Essentially, painting's influence is felt strongly, even if what purists would call painting has changed radically. But painting is always changing, and every shift has instigated a call for its death. The moves made by the Impressionists, Modernists, Abstract Expressionists, and so on and so forth, sounded like death knolls to their detractors, but made painting all the more relevant. Enough with the preemptive eulogies and defensive exhibitions; painting exists, and it's good. The trick is to show it in a framework that's more self-aware than self-obsessed."
Karen Tauches reviews the exhibition Painters Panting featuring works by David Diao, Craig Drennen, Saul Fletcher, Alex Hubbard, Judy Ledgerwood, Chris Martin, and Jennifer West at the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, on view through June 24, 2012.
Tauches writes that "painters are the last great materialists in a world dematerialized by technology; they chose lifetyles which grow more eccentric with every passing year. They are ruled not by electronics, but by the physicality of materials—pigments, canvas, studio spaces, light, images made by hand and body. Either out of stubborn love of this tactical medium or a desire to be at the top of the pyramid, they are terribly dependent upon a class of people who can afford to keep and care for their wonderful, expensive, superfluous, and demanding two-dimensional objects."

5. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .Tom Swier Mar 10, 2008 10:42 AM (in response to Damanhoury)I have to admit I have never attempted to install from a media pack since unzipping the 11g software to a directory on the hard drive makes it run so much faster. Have you tried that? On my machines, the unzipped software only takes up 1.8 GB and you can recover that after the installation is completed by deleting it if space is a problem. I have installed it on a 20 GB virtual machine and have plenty of room left over.
6. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .575424 Mar 10, 2008 12:29 PM (in response to Damanhoury)I think, instead of installing from media, unzip on hard drive, and install from there... usually, there are problems using cdroms... read / write error....

i also install it as oracle user not root , but also the same error .
does it have anything to do with java or the unzip program ?
has it to be an error in oraparam.ini ?
and if , how can i solve it ?

9. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .Tom Swier Mar 10, 2008 10:21 PM (in response to Damanhoury)What the error is telling me is that it can't find the "unzip" executable that the installer expects to find in the download_directory/database/install directory. For example, when I install 11g on Linux, I create a directory called downloads. I download (or copy) the Oracle 11g zipped file to this directory and then unzip it inside the downloads directory. Unzipping the software creates a subdirectory in downloads called database. All of the installation software is located in subdirectories of the database directory. Check and see if your directory structure resembles what I have just said and we'll go from there. Specifically look for this:
The unzip should be an executable file.

as you can see , the unzip has the execution permission .
may i mention that i have copied the database directory from my dvd , not unzipping them directly into the home directory of the oracle user .
i unziped those file under winxp using winrar 3.71 in a ntfs drive , does this affect the structure of the unzipped files?
i also burned the dvd usin nero under windows .
i suspect the oraparam.ini file , do you agree with me ?
thank you very much for your effort so far .
11. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .Damanhoury Mar 16, 2008 10:28 PM (in response to Damanhoury)No Body have an idea how to fix this ?
or have any clue why this problem occurred ?
12. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .Tom Swier Mar 17, 2008 10:50 AM (in response to Damanhoury)Maybe if I tell you what I do when I install 11g on Linux, it might give you some idea of where your problem is.
I use Centos 5.1. I install a lot (but not all) of the available packages. There are no problems with the installation and as soon as Linux is up and running (I use the KDE desktop), I use the software updater and update all installed packages until it tells me that there are no more updates available.
To install Oracle 11g, I create a directory under / and give it and all files and subdirectories 777 permissions. I download 11g to this directory and unzip it to there. I do this whether I am installing 32 or 64 bit software. I then use the installation guide and release notes and set up Linux to install Oracle. Even though I have installed 10g and 11g many times, I always use the documentation to keep from forgetting something. I usually create a user named "oracle" and a directory structure of /u01/app to install Oracle into. The installation program will then give me an ORACLE_BASE of /u01/app/oracle and an ORACLE_HOME of /u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.0/db_1.
I have used these procedures to install Oracle 10g and 11g on hardware including an 850 MHz P3 with 512 MB of RAM (10g on Centos 5), a virtual machine on a dual core AMD64 with 4GB of RAM running Centos 5 as a guest OS on Windows VIsta Home Premium (11g 32 bit) and on a quad core Intel 64 bit with 4 GB of RAM running Centos 5 (11g 64 bit). In the near future I will be getting some additional hardware so I can install 11g on Solaris.
These systems are my own computers and not production systems. Maybe this will help pinpoint where your problems are.
13. Re: Oracle 11G Installation Error Under Linux .633728 Apr 12, 2008 11:52 PM (in response to Tom Swier)Hello there,
Today is April 12, and I know that you had posted this on March 17, 2008. However, if you have already found the answer that is fine. I was this morning running into the same exact error. But guess what, I downloaded the one that was giving error from edelivery.oracle.com . But , when I downloded the same exact version from this location, http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/smiley-11gr1-install.html , It is working and it does indeed create a dirctory call database and put everthing underneath it. So, downlowd the one from the ont loacation,and you shoud be good to go.

For instance, you download and extract the following:

I recently auditioned a stack of hi-fi equipment and ended up going home with a X-Ray and a X-150. I was won over by the incredible detail and the big sweet open sound made by the amp and CD. It blew away the competition but I still felt that something wasn't quite right and this view was reinforced when I got the gear back home.
As impressive as the quality of sound is from the X-Ray and X-150, there's something missing, it doesn't seem to swing, rock, or boogie. The sound just isn't exciting; the music from my Tivoli radio makes my foot tap more. I can recognise the exceptional technical skills of my new stereo but the music coming out of it is soulless and listening to it leaves me cold.
Please reassure me that it just needs a really long running in period and that it will get livelier and more exciting in time, or just tell me that this is the Musical Fidelity sound so thatI canmaybe flog thestuffand get on with finding a system that will make me happy.
