Were you, like us, thrilled by the news that President Obama has created a Council on Women and Girls, putting Valerie Jarrett and Tina Tchen in charge? Read more about why we should be thrilled, here.
We were less thrilled, however, to see the scanty coverage by the mainstream news media. Perhaps we are naive, but we were hoping for front-page stories. Instead, the New York Times mentions it in its Caucus and Motherlode blogs, while the likes of the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal do not report on it AT ALL.
Critics say that the new council is just an executive order and not legislation; that it does not have Cabinet rank; that it's nothing more than a hollow gesture to make the administration look good. Well, World War II Japanese-American internment camps happened under executive order, and so did the desegregation of public schools. Finessing the Geneva Conventions to allow torture was also by executive order. And while the new council does not have Cabinet rank, the whole Cabinet, from the Secretary of Defense to the US Ambassador to the United Nations, is required to serve on it.
The new council could very well prove to be nothing more than window dressing; it will ultimately depend on the political resolve behind it. But public support strengthens political resolve. If the news media does not think the council significant enough to actually inform the public about it, then the chances for broad-based support diminishes, giving political resolve the chance to fade away. This lack of interest from MSM — about what amounts to a pledge from the President to take the concerns and lives of American women seriously, a pledge that would be of interest to more than half the people in this country — betrays its continuing male bias.
Thank God the women who are watching can take it upon ourselves to let the country know about the council and what it means. It's up to us to shore up that political will to make sure the White House Council on Women and Girls fulfills its promise.

The Calvary Baptist Church Van Ministry's purpose is to reach others with the Gospel by providing transportation for boys and girls

Calvary provides FREE van transportation to anyone who has no way to get to church.
We will be happy to provide a ride for children and adults alike!
If you are in need of a ride, please call the church at (928)726-5655. Our Van Ministry is a valuable outreach tool of our church,

TV Season Finales - Spoilers
By user12607856 on May 26, 2008
I think we've now had the season finales of all the shows I watch (although in a couple of cases it was hard to tell). I couldn't let them go without a few comments and speculate on what's going to happen for some of them, at the beginning of the next season.
If you still have some of these on the Tivo and haven't viewed them yet, then don't read this. There are some major spoilers ahead. Same for folks in other countries who haven't received the last episodes yet. (I use a poor-man's Tivo. Record everything on VHS tape, and then watch them the following weekend. That way I can fast forward through the ads. I rarely watch a show in real time any more).
And yes, I still watch too much TV.
- Two And A Half Men: One of only two comedies I watch. I'm
not even sure that that was the season ender last week. There was
no real cliff hanger. They are still very funny though.
It's actually the support cast that make this
a great show for me. People like the mother, the psychotherapist and the
house keeper. I'll be back next year.
- CSI Miami: I gave up on this show several weeks ago. David
Caroso just ruins it for me. Perhaps they'll fatally shoot him
next year.
- Medium: Wow! They ended this season without a two parter
dragging over into the new TV season. And everything on a positive note.
Their loyal fans (and I'm one of them -- this is my favorite TV
show) will be back.
- NCIS: I've been saying for quite a while after their extended
"big frog" run of episodes, that Jenny Shepard's character was
truly terrible and should go. And what did they do in the last show?
They shot her. Bravo! Does anybody think we are going to have three
new NCIS agents under Gibbs next year? Neither do I.
- Law and Order: SVU: So Casey Novak (Diane Neal) is gone. Looks
like Det. Chester Lake isn't coming back either. I'm surprised that
and Benson still have a job with all the not-by-the-book plays they
do. I'll still keep watching it though.
- Woman's Murder Club: Good season ender. They nicely rounded up
the Kiss-me-not killer and left a minor cliff-hanger for next
season. Personally I couldn't care less whether her father lives
or dies. They introduced his character fairly late in the series
and he's been a minor bit-player up until now, (although I suspect
he's going to live and that's going to change for the next season).
Nice to see (or rather not to see) Tom Hogan's wife isn't a
regular any more. Her character and her interaction with
everybody else, was just plain irritating.
- Criminal Minds: This one was just over the top. Why do a show's
producers believe that they need to leave you dangling in order to get
you to watch the show next year? So, who do you think got blown up?
First, I don't think it's Garcia. She'd been inside all the time.
The obvious candidate is J.J. The question there is, is A.J. Cook (the
person who plays her) pregnant in real life, and does she want to
leave the show to spend time with the new baby? I'll pick somebody
else. This is a little bit way-out-there, but I reckon it's Derek
Morgan, and he wasn't blown up by the terrorists, but by female
FBI agent who fears she's going to lose her job to him. There. That'll get
the conspiracy theorists talking.
- CSI: New York: Another really annoying dangling cliff hanger.
I'm getting a tad fed up with them using "unique" technology to help
them track down the bad guys. A gun with absolutely no recoil, that
means two bullets have exactly the same entry wound. Give me a break!
If the bank robbers were really trying to get away with the crime,
why would they use a gun like that which would be easy to trace?
I've no idea why the bank robbery went down the way it did, but no
doubt it'll all be explained next year.
- Law And Order: Jack McCoy has made an enemy of the governor! That'll
be good for some interesting episodes next year. I see we had two new detectives and one new
lawyer this season. I hope they manage to stick with these so they can build
up some chemistry.
- Scrubs: I'm again not even sure this was the season ender.
It felt more like the last episode. Period. This show has been
"slow" recently. They are running out of original funny ideas.
I don't think it's coming back.
- CSI: Warrick's gone. I can live with that.
And the real mole in the department has been
exposed. My wife and I picked him out several weeks ago, when you saw
his profile in shadow reporting that Warrick had just been arrested.
His voice is quite distinct. No doubt next year, Grisham and team
will piece it all together and bring down their boss. Hopefully next
year they'll also give bigger parts to some of the techies. A relationship
between Hodges and Simms would be fun.
- Without a Trace: Jack, the loose cannon, has finally been demoted.
I was surprised he kept his job. It'll be interesting to see what
happens with the relationship between Jack and Sam Spade next year. And
also Danny Taylor and Elena Delgado (which just fizzled out this series).
- Numb3rs: Megan's gone (and I'm going to miss her). Charlie's
been arrested for emailing classified documents to four
academics in Pakistan. A pointless cliff-hanger. It's bound to be
all cleared up next year.

TC TO JOHN GLEN ; 2 May 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530502-TC-JOGL-01; CL 28: 126-127
Chelsea, 2 May, 1853—
Dear Sir,
You will not get the Papers tomorrow, after all; but I hope they are in better hands, not worse, for them; and will not suffer by the delay.
I have had a Note from the Official Friend whom I mentioned to you; and by a lucky accident I fell in with him personally, over and above, and had a few minutes of useful conversation on the subject.
Having his Note in my pocket, I will (tho' with proviso that it go no farther, but be burnt as soon as you have read it) send you the little Document: it is not very encouraging; but the writer (Lord Stanley of Alderley, a very acute and at present an official man) keeps well within the margin in such matters; did not seem to have quite understood the Note I wrote to him;—and, on the whole, was considerably more cheering in his speech than he had been with the pen. He still thinks it questionable; but that there is hope,—hope of something considerably better than "the £5 or £10, " which I told him at once would not be accepted at all.
Both Sir James Stephen, and Professor Wilson1 are a little known to me: Sir James Stephen, being a stranger to all parts of the business, could do no good, and probably (being a veracious and a cautious man) might scruple to sign; but I did think of endeavouring to get Professor Wilson's unbiassed verdict (by some method or other) as to the worth of the Persian Translation,2 and having it appended to the other evidences;—however, Lord Stanley is of opinion that the point is already sufficiently proved; that all points are so (for I have testified as to general matters which I knew); and, in short, that farther signatures will be of no service.
The great point, I can see, is to keep quite clear of its being a Missionary question, and to lift the matter into the Literary category. For Lord Aberdeen has already decided, on the missionary point of view, and cannot be asked to revise his judgement. For that reason, Lord Stanley dissuaded me from calling in the Marquis of Breadalbane to help (whom I got means of access to), as that would be bringing it back into the religious point of view, and indispose Lord Aberdeen already committed on that side
On the whole it was Lord Stanley's opinion that the Duke of Argyll was far the fittest person for presenting the Petition, if he would consent; and Lord S. very kindly undertook to carry it to the Duke tomorrow,—in whose hands it will be at the time you read this Note. "We must not be too sanguine," alas no: but if the Duke do take any hold of the case, of course it will be somewhat in its favour; and I have just written a Letter to be shewn him (by Lord Stanley), doing the best I could to dispose his Grace favourably to us:
In case he be on our side, as I shall know soon, what is wanted now is that he be requested to present it immediately while the iron is hot;—and for that purpose I request one word from you straightway, by return of post,—if Mrs Glen & you approve that manner of proceeding. If you do not, I will send back the Papers instantly.— In great haste,— Yours sincerely— T. Carlyle

Simple Ways On How You Could Make Money In The Stock Market
Stock market investing can yield high financial rewards. Knowing how to go about investing with solid strategies is the best way to ensure good results. The following article will offer you serious advice that can help you succeed with investing in the stock market.
Although most portfolios are long-term investments, you still want to re-evaluate your investments about three times a year. This is because the economy constantly changes. Some sectors will start to do better than others, and some may become extinct. Depending on the current state of the economy, certain financial companies may be wiser investments. You therefore need to track your portfolio and make changes as needed.
Invest in damaged stocks, but avoid damaged companies. A company's stock price might be going through a temporary downturn, and that makes it a great time to get in on a good price, but just be sure it is in fact only a temporary setback. A company that made a fixable mistake can make a stock drop, but not the value. On the other hand, a drop in stock value for a company that is being investigated for fraud is probably not temporary.
You may be set on handling your own stock investments, but you should make it a priority to seek the advice of a financial counselor, too. An expert will give you more that just good stock picks. If they are knowledgeable they can also help you create a long-term plan and methods to reach your desired profitability. After this, both of you will be able to come up with a customized plan.
Do not stress out about the ups and downs that happen on a daily basis. Volatility is always in the market, so it doesn't help you to worry about short-term movements. Remember, you need to invest in the long term and try to be calm.
If you are just starting out in the investment area, keep in mind that success won't happen overnight. It can take awhile before some companies show any change in their stocks; thus, difficulty sets in for awhile before you can make any profit. Practicing patience and riding the waves of ups and downs will make your experience with the stock market much less stressful.
Consider expanding your knowledge of accounting and finance. You need not go for full-blown degrees in these subjects, but a class or two on the basics can prove very useful. An understanding of basic principles will help you make better financial decisions. Successful investors like Warren Buffet advocate this education-centered approach. Given his numerous successes, his advice bears repeating!
Don't listen to unsolicited stock recommendations. Your broker or financial adviser offer solicited advice, and that's worth taking. Don't listen to others. You cannot replace the value of performing your own research, especially if stock-picking and investment advice is being pushed on you by some marketer that gets paid to persuade you.
Stocks are more than paper used for trading. As a shareholder, you, along with all the other company shareholders, are part of a group that collectively owns a portion of the company. You are entitled to the earnings from your stocks, as well as claims on assets. In most cases, you are also allowed to vote on matters of corporate leadership or major business decisions like mergers.
When you purchase stocks, you are becomming an owner. Some people buy what they've heard is a good stock, but don't forget: when you buy a stock, you are buying a piece of the company. Therefore, you should always research the company fully before you purchase a stock, so that you can be sure that your investment is a wise one.
Invest in large companies that offer consistent stock profits initially. Buying stock in large companies is less risky than investing in smaller companies. After you gain some market experience, you can start investing in small or midsize companies. Small companies have a larger growth potential, but also have a large risk for loss.
Think of your stocks as interest in a company that you own, rather than just simple meaningless elements to be traded. Take time to analyze financial statements and evaluate the weaknesses and strengths of the business to asses your stock's value. This way, you can carefully ponder about whether you ought to own a particular stock.
Find a good broker. Brokers have experience in the markets and will help you avoid the common mistakes that novice investors make. Professional brokers can provide you with valuable knowledge and insiders advice that can help you to make smart investment choices. Many stockbrokers can also help you to mange your investment portfolio, and tell you if you are on the right track to reaching your financial goals.
Passion is great when it comes to investing, but it should not cloud your reasonable judgement or consume the rest of your life. Being too passionate and obsessing over the market can tire you out and cause you to make foolish mistakes.
Earning money can be easy when it comes to stocks, but only if you know what to do. If you know how to invest, you may be amazed at your earning potential. Use the advice provided to you to your advantage.

Many thought having a Black American as president would keep the civil unrest down in our black ghetto communities. However it appears the strain of the daily stress of dealing with no jobs, higher food prices, higher gas prices, constant negative news is beginning to take its toll and anger is taking over.
The borders of our southern states are literally being invaded by people from other countries willing to risk their lives and their children lives to come over here because they know once they get in, they will have free housing, free food, free school for their children with free lunches and free medical care without ever having to pay a dime in taxes. They know the passive Caucasians at the federal level of this country will not have the courage to stop them.
Meanwhile, those of us of all colors trying to make a living get more frustrated everyday with the unfairness of the whole game plan. What is the game plan? One has to wonder why it has taken this long for the anger and frustration to finally spew out.
If we had a Republican, White American as president at this time, one has to wonder how many riots and protests would have already been out on the streets. How long will the media blame Bush? It's almost ridiculous.
Nonetheless, another protest is being planned for the shooting a young black man who engaged in a struggle with a police officer in Los Angeles. And now another man has been shot in St. Louis as he participated with a group that confronted the St. Louis police and pointed a loaded weapon at a cop and was shot by the cop.
Get ready America. You can say you don't care. You can say don't watch it, but if you do not start caring, these problems have a way of starting as isolated incidents and then the anger spreads to all corners and then the next thing you know, you'll find yourself in a police state and in a position where you will have to defend yourself or get hurt or killed. But maybe this is all part of the game plan. Civil unrest will give the government entities more power over us and then who knows what is going to happen next.
Stay tuned.

Domestic violence, sexual assault and stalking survivors often need time off from work to care for a family member who has a serious health condition (whether mental or physical), which is caused or made worse by the abuse. Under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and the California Family Rights Act, those employees may be able to take up to twelve weeks of job protected (but unpaid) time off from work each year to care for a child, parent, spouse or registered domestic partner with a serious health condition. California state law provides strong privacy protections for survivors that may allow an employee to take time off from work without disclosing the domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking or underlying diagnosis of the survivor to their employer.

Despite being kicked out as the iPhone's default mapping system, Google's presence will remain in iOS 6.
While we already knew of Apple and Yelp's new partnership, the social review site will now permit check-ins with Apple Maps.
Hopefully ushering in a wallet-less payment boom, the next iPhone reportedly carries NFC chips and antenna.
Review-based sites are flooded with fake reviews written by either the business itself or by third-parties hired to write them.
Like Google before it, Apple will likely wait for a third party to develop and provide transit information all by itself.
It's nearly game over for social gaming on Google+.
After saying the iPhone can't match Android's versatility, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak expresses his distaste of Siri.

Sears and Kmart, which have been known for innovation and convenience to help reestablish various struggling locations within Kmart and Sears locations throughout the country. Sears and Kmart are offering a new service once again to help the establishment gain long-term consumers. Tuesday, July 8, Sears and Kmart, two leading integrated retailers focused on making shopping easier for Shop Your Way members and customers, are introducing a unique online/in-store collaboration to allow pick up of sears.com or kmart.com orders at any of each other's stores, more than 2,000 locations nationwide ready in five minutes or less. Will this type of blended service increase customer retention, and improve customer service to attract new consumers?
Earlier this year reports suggested, in order to maximum the organizations profits within the retail establishments. Sears started a process to sublease space. "We are looking forward to bringing DICK's Sporting Goods to the King of Prussia Mall," said Dan Chadwick, director of Real Estate, DICK's Sporting Goods.
Part of a great shopping experience stems from the integration of e-commerce, logistics and Sear and Kmart retail outlets that have become the new showroom for many retail consumers. Gallup poll reports While 40% of Americans say they have show-roomed before; there is a divide between income levels. Household incomes less than $90,000 per year, 40% say they have show-roomed at least once. However, that percentage climbs to 53% for those with a household income of $90,000 or greater.
"Sears was the first broadline retailer to provide the convenience of free buy online pick up in store more than 12 years ago, and we continue to introduce integrated offerings to help our members shop on their own terms," said Imran Jooma, executive vice president, Sears Holdings. "Leveraging the breadth of both Sears and Kmart's online and in-store networks means more convenience for members and opens an even wider brand-name product selection available to fans of both stores."
"We have executed a number of these transactions that serve as an additional revenue stream, drive efficiency in our store operations and bring in increased customer traffic."
With so many retailers in one location and the sublease retail market growing, will you visit each store? Will this really be a convenience to shop or continue to browse through store window or online. "It has been great working closely with Sears Holdings on this outstanding space and this partnership will be a win-win situation for our respective customers. As always, we will provide the top-of-the-line retail and service experience that people have come to expect from DICK's Sporting Goods." Stated, Dan Chadwick, director of Real Estate, DICK's Sporting Goods.
"We're excited to build on the success of this popular, convenient Free Store Pickup option with 2,000 Sears and Kmart stores, regardless of whether you order from sears.com or kmart.com, and have it ready for pickup in five minutes or less," said Leena Munjal, senior vice president, Sears Holdings. "The service also makes exclusive brands – like Sofia by Sofia Vergara and Adam Levine at Kmart, and Bongo and Outdoor Life at Sears – available for free pickup at hundreds of new locations." This trend demonstrated that retailers need employees who can engage the consumer, as opposed to providing service like the typical 'ATM machine'.
Although Leena Munjal, senior vice president, is excited about the new service, are consumers ready for the innovation of sublease mega malls within a mall structure?
Retailers must create environments that disarm consumers from the economy's gloom and doom, not to mention President Obama's 'Economic Patriotism' in a way that is ethical; demonstrating corporate social responsibility, which, allows sales associates to thrive. American Companies should reinvest in disruptive innovative services. If celebrities servicing the brand do not support the brands by appearances in various store locations, shopping with consumers unscripted, how can you expect consumers to get excited? Allow consumers to escape reality while shopping, anyone can click, select, repeat and complete online. Jeff Stollenwerck, senior vice president and president, Real Estate for Sears Holdings, said it best, "Sears Holdings has a long and successful history of value creation through the selective and strategic redeployment of our existing real estate base"
How will you use the new service?

Cell Phone Service Overseas
|Related Pages
I have a very simple cell phone with unlimited texting & a number of minutes per month that I have no problem keeping under (most of my calls are to my husband, who's on the same plan, so there's no charge for that service -- whatever it's called).
I am going to be travelling overseas in a couple of months and would like to buy a cell phone where I could make and receive calls as well as texts for a minimal amount. I also would only like to have that capability for the duration of my trip (approx 2 weeks).
Can anyone recommend a carrier to do that -- that is get a temporary phone with overseas capability? Also, I'm just going to France, so I'm wondering if anyone knows if there's a way I can set up a cheap or even free calls / texts on that plan?
I currently have Verizon wireless and have heard something about getting a 'card' or something to add to your phone for international use. But I don't know if that's the best deal.
I feel like if I call the companies, it's hard to get a straight answer and really figure out which is the best deal, so I'm looking for recommendations first. Cell Phone Inept
We handled the unlock ourselves with online unlock software. So the only money we spent was for a test SIM card and the SIM card and prepaid minutes/data when we were abroad.
We were really happy with how it worked out, and it was all the more sweeter in that we did not help AT&T fill its moneybags. Unlock the phone
We will be traveling in France and Spain for a month and want to know what others have done about cell phones. We have two phones on Cingular and their ''World Traveler'' plan would cost 5.99 for the month, then $.99/min. The other option is to go to some little place near Ranch 99 (or so the guy at the Cingular store told me), get them to ''unlock'' the phones for $20/ea., and buy a chip in Europe and pay as we go. Has anyone done this? Is it easy? Is it cheap? Can we unlock the phones ourselves with codes found on the internet or are those bogus? We'll just be calling ahead for reservations, calling each other to meet up after a day of separate sight-seeing, that kind of thing. Not long luxurious calls back to the States or anything.

Hi. What do people recommend for cell phones / internet phone service to keep in touch with college students travelling abroad? My daughter will be going to South America. Thanks, mom of traveller
I've dealt with the first people to get a card for the UK and found them very reliable and helpful. I think they're located near San Diego. You might just want to call them and get an idea as to what's feasible.
My family and I will be on vacation in and around London and Paris for two weeks in August but I am concerned about being out of touch with my elderly father who is having health problems. I assume my cell phone won't work there. Does anybody know how I might get cell phone usage there so, if needed, folks, (i.e. Kaiser Hospital) could get in touch with me easily? I hear it is possible to rent cell phone in some places. kb
Also, this is information I saved from a Chronicle article a couple of years ago. Not sure how much of it is still accurate (rates have undoubtedly gone up), but I'd be willing to bet Nextel still does the rental.
''Nextel rents its worldwide phones to travelers for $10 a day, plus the considerable cost of each call. For details, phone (800) 639-8359 or check the Web at www.nextel.com and click on ''Nextel Worldwide.'' AT&T (800-888-7600) rents overseas phones for rates ranging from $39 a week to $60 for three months. (You might cut the cost significantly if you're planning to rent a car in another country. Ask if the agency - like many American car rental outfits - can provide you with a cell phone, as well.)
''Foreign cell phones do not come with numbers programmed into them. Customers activate their phones by popping in so-called SIM cards - little devices ranging in size from a postage stamp to a credit card. To ''charge'' your SIM card, you buy prepaid time at tobacco shops, pharmacies, gas stations and kiosks almost everywhere abroad. So you need an inexpensive GSM phone and a SIM card for the country you're visiting. You can purchase the phone for as little as $99.99 at a Bay Area company called Planet Omni (1480 Wharton Way, Concord, CA 94521; phone: 925-246- 7103; Web: www.planetomni.com; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com). SIM cards are available through a company called Telestial (along with inexpensive GSM phones). Prices can run as low as 15 cents a minute from England. Elsewhere in Europe, per-minute costs to the United States range from 63 cents to $1.74. (Contact: Telestial, 4689 Mission Blvd., San Diego, CA 92109; phone: 858-274-2686; fax: 858-274-2757; Web: www.telestial.com; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.)
''Before heading overseas with your cell phone and your SIM card, sign up for a ''callback'' program. These enable you to bypass the carrier in the country you are visiting; you pay only for point- to-point calls within the United States. Want to phone your sister from a wine bar on the Rhine? Start by dialing a U.S. phone number provided by your callback service. After one or two rings, you hang up. Because you didn't connect, you are not charged. About a minute later, your cell phone jangles. Upon answering, you hear a U.S. dial tone. Punch in your sister's area code and phone number, just like you do at home. Here's the best part: Because this is an incoming call to your cell phone, it counts as a freebie. You will be billed by the callback company at a lower domestic rate. I checked out a callback firm called CogniDial (on the Web at www.cognidial.com) and found that a 15-minute call from France would cost $1.95 at 13 cents a minute.'' Norm

Student Evaluation Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (Updated Fall 2015)
Committee for Online Teaching Evaluations (2015-2016)
The Senate and the Office of the Provost have asked the Faculty Center to assemble an ad hoc committee for the purpose of addressing issues surrounding assessment of teaching.
Our Charge:
1) Creating guidelines for the use of online teaching evaluations; 2) creating a process and instrument for online teaching observations; 3) recommendations for revising Rowan Global's survey for teaching effectiveness for online courses; and 4) revisit the research on response rates and optimum length of time the survey is available.
Currently, departments employ a variety of instruments for evaluating teaching effectiveness. Guidelines would help those departments develop the instruments that are best suited to their needs. This committee will create those guidelines and identify best practices for evaluating teaching effectiveness, as well as address response rates.
Our work will be advisory in nature but influential. Section 1.14 of the 2014-2015 Tenure and Recontracting MOA specifies that "[e]valuation of excellence in teaching will be assessed in terms of the characteristics of excellence presented in Section 1.12. Standards of activity and procedures for their assessment will be identified in the ratified and approved department criteria and this University document." Our committee could not override the MOA but could very well inform future revisions of it.

Beltzer, J P; Fiedler, K; Fuhrer, C; Geffen, I; Handschin, C; Wessels, H P; Spiess, M (1991). Charged residues are major determinants of the transmembrane orientation of a signal-anchor sequence. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 266(2):973-978.
Uncleaved signal-anchor sequences of membrane proteins inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum initiate the translocation of either the amino-terminal or the carboxyl-terminal polypeptide segment across the bilayer. Which topology is acquired is not determined by the apolar segment of the signal but rather by the hydrophilic sequences flanking it. To study the role of charged residues in determining the membrane topology, the insertion of mutants of the asialoglycoprotein receptor H1, a single-spanning protein with a cytoplasmic amino terminus, was analyzed in transfected COS-7 cells. When the charged amino acids flanking the hydrophobic signal were mutated to residues of opposite charge, half the polypeptides inserted with the inverted orientation. When, in addition, the amino-terminal domain of the mutant protein was truncated, approximately 90% of the polypeptides acquired the inverted topology. The transmembrane orientation appears to be primarily determined by the charges flanking the signal sequence but is modulated by the domains to be translocated.

Like socks labeled "one size fits all," "one size fits all" university technology commercialization strategy is actually "one size fits no one."

If your having some issues i would use it everyday just to keep blood levels stable. Is the torem for gyno?
I see recommendations for . 5 EOD and . 25 ED. Is there any good reason to do one over the other? I'm on 700mg prop per week, have a little gyno and bloat and libido is more important than muscle! I'm also taking 30mg torem/day.
Yes torem is great for gyno. I'm a little unhappy with the research chemical change though. It looks and tastes different than it used too. I can see stringy fiber inside, which I assume is the med, no matter how much I shake the amount is inconsistent due to the size of the material.
Fare up started on test e. I switched to prop about 10 days ago.

If one of you is desperate to buy me a gift, I'll gladly take a chartreuse ombre gown from Olivier Theyskens's first show for Nina Ricci in 2007. Vintage dealer Marilyn Glass has a nice one on 1stdibs.com.
I despised chartreuse for years. Decades even. Then, overnight, I fell in love with it. I often find that hate turns into love, proving once again that the opposite of love isn't hate, but indifference. For instance, I've long hated naked pictures of designer Marc Jacobs, particularly the ad for his Bang fragrance, in which he looks like a deliciously moist roast chicken nestled in aluminum foil. But when gorgeous, Kentucky-based blogger Cameron Miquelon of 33 avenue Miquelon offered me the naked-Marc-Jacobs t-shirt that came with a purchase of Bang deodorant, I said, "OMG YES PLEASE!" She gave it to me at the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference in February and here is the long-overdue picture.
Cameron also took part in my mood-board contest earlier this summer. Participants were promised an interview on this blog. First came Megan Mae. Then Wicked Halo. Here, at last, is Cameron, the third and final mood-board interviewee. Below is Cameron's submission, described as "… basically all moody, from the late Steve McQueen giving the British middle finger to Kate Moss smoking on the runway to a group of moody teens who would later lock their parents inside their middle school (Over the Edge, 1979 film), even some flowers and a platform with a tarantula inside!"
Cameron: I started blogging overall in November of 2009 on Tumblr, then moved to a self-hosted WordPress March 11, 2010. As for why, at first it was to eventually house my podcasts that I made for a smaller audience than the one I see now — this never happened. Around February 2010, I found myself on a Twitter list of "exciting fashion bloggers for AMEX NYFW AW10" as curated by Jennine Jacob (Independent Fashion Bloggers, Coveted Media). When I saw that list, my first thought was, "I'm a fashion blogger? Really? But I have nudes on my Tumblr, and not always the artsy kind!" This was followed by, "Well, if I am a fashion blogger, then I better get on with it!"
WendyB: You changed the name of your blog, right? What's up with that?
Cameron: I did for two reasons. First, people kept getting the name of my blog wrong. It was named Midnight in a Perfect World, but my URL at that time was perfectmidnight.com. The second reason, though, came to me while a few coveteurs were trying to ride the coattails of Mme Jacob's brand earlier in the year. One night, I poodled The Coveted and noticed how her blog was the first hit. I then poodled Midnight in a Perfect World, and saw that I was only the second or third hit behind the song of the same name by DJ Shadow. I then said to myself, "Do I want to ride the coattails like those who did so to Jennine, or do I want to be the first hit when someone poodles my blog?" From there, I eventually came up with 33 avenue Miquelon, bought the URL, and made the change February 1. Speaking of name changes, though, a month or two later, I changed my username from Lady Cameron XIII — a name that started as an in-joke with a few friends of mine on IRC a couple of years before — to Cameron Miquelon. Brought everything back home, changed my name to fit the brand, then adopted it as my working identity.
WendyB: What did you get out of attending the Independent Fashion Bloggers conference and hanging out in New York in February 2011?
Cameron: I got to meet a lot of my favorite bloggers — like you — as well as feeling a sense that someone who wondered if her blog was fashionable enough for IFB back when I applied to become a member nearly a year go this July actually made it. Sure, no money is being made right now and no one's contacted me to feature a product — probably because I've yet to post eight photos of the same outfit every time I make a post — but I felt like I hit the big time in a way. As for hanging out in NYC, that was an experience, from taking the subway — and possibly catching something from it as I was ill for the rest of the time — to getting lost trying to find one of the shows to the wind blowing everywhere… ahhh! Oh, and the taxi TV was awesome; no taxi here has even a divider, let alone a TV!
WendyB: Was that your first trip to New York? Will you be back?
Cameron: It was indeed, and you better believe I'll be back. I may even venture out to Times Square next time and pay my NYC co-workers from my day job a visit, too!
WendyB: Where do you live now?
Cameron: I live in Louisville, Ky., and have been for nearly four years after a 29-year-long absence that began a month or so after I was born; I also lived in Kansas and Washington State.
WendyB: What's the best part of living there? What's the worst?
Cameron: Being near my family and residing in a place that welcomes all with open arms, no matter who or what they are. We even have an ordinance that prohibits discrimination against sexual orientation and gender identity/expression in housing, employment and public accommodations, one of three cities in the Commonwealth to do so. The worst? I'd say it's a toss between downtown (tourist areas like Fourth Street Live fail to show Louisville for what it is) and the city's mass transit system; I know it can be worse — ask anyone in Wichita, Kan. — but I'd love TARC to be up to the level of, say, Seattle or Pittsburgh at the very least. Not expecting it to be like New York, but TARC and the city could do better moving us all around.
WendyB: Should the next IFB conference be held there?
Cameron: Hell yeah! We have a few art galleries that probably could give the same vibe that MILK Studios has, and I wouldn't mind acting as a tour guide. Plus, we make all the bourbon you can stand to drink, wine from local wineries, microbreweries for the beer drinkers, at least four or five pizza places in my neighborhood alone — and only two national chain pizza places — clothing boutiques, fine dining, theatre, art, a great music scene (My Morning Jacket, anyone?), river boat cruises… should I continue?
WendyB: What's your mood right now?
Cameron: Relaxed; love talking about my city and being a blogger any day over talking about what I do for a living.
WendyB: What DO you do for a living?
Cameron: My day job? I work for a media monitoring company as a wage-sla… er, transcriber who spends her days watching and listening to adverts for everything from … [EDITOR'S NOTE: OKAY, CAMERON, I JUST CENSORED THE REST OF YOUR ANSWER FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. IF YOU LOSE YOUR JOB, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET ME MORE NAKED-MARC-JACOBS CRAP?] [EDITOR'S UPDATED NOTE: OOPS! IT TOOK ME SO LONG TO GET THIS INTERVIEW UP THAT JOB CONCERNS ARE NO LONGER APPLICABLE.]
22 Responses to "What Chartreuse and Naked Marc Jacobs Have in Common"
Aaah! I think that shirt is so great because it's just so. wrong. I love that your toes are foil-painted to match.
Eeeee! This was the best birthday present ever! Big hugs to you WendyB! It's so finger-lickin' good to finally see that oily and delicious Marc Jacobs all over your chest… oooooh!
And I'll be sure to get you more naked Marky Marc in the future… I wonder how much it would cost to have him strip for you for your birthday muahahahahahah!
In all seriousness, I'm happy I got you that shirt, and more happy to kick off my 33rd year of life with this post. Merci beaucoup madame ! Bisous ! xoxoxoxoxo
Happy birthday to Cameron too-great exchange of pressies, Wendy got the fabulous MJ tee and Cameron got a wonderful interview, well done all round! xxx
Thank you! It was a pleasure to pay $$ for some deodorant–Dad got it for Xmas–just so I could finally see Wendy wear that hunka-hunka-burnin' luv in T-shirt form! 😀
Glad I'm not the only one who hated that Marc Jacobs ad!
that t-shirt is insane! great interview too 🙂
that t-shirt is just TOO much!!
it's like a train wreck… you can't take your eyes off of it even though it is so wrong!
i really think a naked marc jacobs looks so much better on a t-shirt as well. i want one! 🙂
Great interview, I love learning about new bloggers.
That t-shirt! I'm still laughing at "remind me not to shake his hand" in one of the earlier posts.
I identify with so much in this post. I too hated chartreuse until fairly recently and now I can't get enough. I bought Bang when it first came out (loved the peppery bits but in the end it was too masculine for me) but yeah, the ad was absurd. It's like the Seinfeld episode when Kramer starts moisturizing with butter. But goddamn it, do I want that t-shirt! I am very jealous.
Wendy! I was so close to meeting you, looking so glamorous sitting at the MO Bar, at the IFB cocktail party. And I still don't know why I didn't meet you. Boo-hiss! I should've stuck with Bella of The Citizen Rosebud, my date that night, I think she met everybody in the room, including you. I wanted to stop by and say hi!
I'll never be able to look at a roast chicken the same way again.
The dresses are gorgeous, and fascinating interview. So interesting to get to know a blogger in depth!
That "foot pose" looks vaguely familiar WendyB…
"a deliciously moist roast chicken nestled in aluminum foil"
I just snort laughed and choked on my coffee. I hope you're happy.
This shirt is hilarious… and so are you. And Cameron rules. Awesome post!

Even though Hildegard of Bingen was already on the list of Catholic saints, she had not been officially canonised. So to remove all doubt, Benedict XVI extended the liturgical cult of St Hildegard of Bingen, to the Universal Church, which automatically inscribes her in the catalogue of saints.
Hildegard of Bingen was from Germany. She's mostly known for her religious visions and prophecies. She lived in the XI and XII century, but even so, her message is still quite alive. The Pope has talked about her and her message in two general audiences.
In coming months, the Pope is also considering declaring her a Doctor of the Church for her high intelligence and feminine sensibility.
St Hildegard was one of the most active women of her time. She wrote about theology and morals, but also about medicine and science. She even found the time to compose 78 musical pieces.
Benedict XVI officially declares Hildegard of Bingen a Saint


text: About The ProjectHi guys, I've been working on this idea to remake Team Fortress 2 maps in Terraria, so I will update the thread as they are made. All maps are available at the bottom for download! Go ahead and try them out! Map MakingI also noticed some Terrarians with an interest in making their own TF2 maps! I don't blame them, it's awesome! Here's the list of TF2 maps, which is a great reference to use for making these maps. Just click on the name of the map, and its page will have schematics for you to look at. Happy map making! You can send me stuff like maps, hate mail, and comments, to [email protected] Updates Map development is back on again! I've finished my school work for now. As always, let me know if there are any problems so I can fix 'em. To-Do List... Finish Coldfront Finish Gravel Pit Work on beta maps ..Maps.!Click the name of the map to see what it looks like in TF2! 2Fort Notes: I'm really happy with the final version. My map making skills have come a long way since I first started. Double CrossNotes: Definitely one of my favorite creations. It is designed for easy lateral movement with slightly challenging vertical movement, to create moments of tension when you decide to move up or down. Choose when to move wisely! Sawmill Notes: A simple map, and very unique in that movement revolves around dodging hazards rather than overcoming the map itself. DustbowlNotes: An ambitious project, and technically 3 maps in 1. I've been too lazy to update the picture, so play it to see the new look! NucleusNotes: Definitely a hard map to make. It wasn't easy, but after several redesigns I think I finally captured the feel of Nucleus in this map. The pit is designed so that you are only likely to fall in if you are pushed in by an enemy. Most of the time you can jump over it just fine. Gorge - BETANotes: Not a very pretty map, but the framework is there. It will go under a redesign someday, making everything look more natural and less forced. EgyptNotes: Another ambitious project akin to Dustbowl. It is technically 2 maps in 1. I really like how it came out, and I will fix a few things here and there eventually. DeGroot Keep - BETANotes: Just like Gorge, not very developed in looks but most of the platforms and building areas are where they need to be, making it at least playable. I will update it someday. The castle will get a huge overhaul. My most proud thing about this map is that the Demoman can charge and jump off the rock in the center, and hop on the platforms all the way to land on top of the castle, just like in a real game of TF2.

College Hockey:Milner shuts the door, allowing Boston College to roll past Minnesota
TAMPA, Fla. — The Boston College train just keeps on rolling.
The BC Eagles are headed back to the national title game after a dismantling of the nation's top offense, Minnesota, 6-1, at the Tampa Bay Times Forum on Thursday in a game where the Gophers were able to control the play for extended periods of time but the Eagles were able to capitalize on every Minnesota mistake.
For complete Frozen Four coverage, visit USCHO's Frozen Four Central.
While BC rolled through the regional, controlling the flow in wins over Air Force and Minnesota-Duluth, on Thursday the team struggled defensively against the potent Gophers offense. But that's where goaltender Parker Milner, who won his and BC's 18th straight game on Thursday, played the role of hero.
"When I looked at the game, I thought Parker Milner made some very timely saves early in the game where I thought Minnesota was pressing," said BC coach Jerry York. "They had some excellent opportunities to score, not just one but multiple times. Parker was just big in the net."
The game, in essence, swung in a short stretch late in the second period. With 2:33 remaining, Minnesota's Jake Hansen took advantage of a BC defensive breakdown and was alone in front on Milner. Milner moved quickly to square to the shot and made what should have been a difficult save — one of the 30 he made on the night — look easy.
Just 18 seconds later, the Eagles took advantage of a Minnesota turnover when Chris Kreider buried a no-look pass from Destry Straight on a two-on-one break to stretch a 2-0 BC lead to 3-0.
Less than two minutes later, BC again moved in transition, this time with Johnny Gaudreau getting hauled down and making a pass from his knee that Paul Carey tucked into an open net to stretch the lead to 4-0.
At that point, it was lights out.
"That's a Grade A scoring chance in front of the net," Hansen said of his failed bid. "If I score there, it would be 2-1 and we'd be right back in the game. They end up scoring on the next shift. That just kills you."
While the Eagles admittedly allowed Minnesota (28-14-1) an ample number of chances — more than they would like — they were successful at exposing one of the Gophers' weaknesses: their penalty kill. The Gophers entered Thursday's semifinal with the 36th-ranked penalty kill in the nation. BC scored twice in four power-play opportunities while keeping Minnesota off the board in its four chances with the man advantage.
Despite being outshot 10-5 in the opening period, it was Boston College that took a 1-0 lead into the first intermission.
The Eagles used a perfect transition play to score the frame's lone goal. Steven Whitney and Barry Almeida worked a nifty give-and-go, with Whitney making a pass at the offensive blue line and Almeida returning the favor with a goalmouth feed that Whitney redirected past Gophers goaltender Kent Patterson (19 saves) at 6:03.
Early in the second, BC extended the lead on the power play. Just eight seconds after Minnesota's Nate Schmidt was sent off for hooking, Tommy Cross made a pretty feed to Kevin Hayes at the left faceoff dot. Hayes roofed a laser-like shot past the blocker side at 6:35.
After the goal, Minnesota carried the play for nearly 10 minutes and had plenty of scoring chances. That's when the turning-point sequence that made a two-goal game a four-goal game broke the Gophers' spirit.
"Up until that point [BC's third goal], I thought we deserved a little bit better," said Minnesota coach Don Lucia. "When it went from two to four in a couple of minutes, that was the game."
Minnesota did get a glimmer of hope early in the third when a centering pass at 1:26 deflected off Hansen's skate and past Milner, ending a shutout streak of 193 minutes, 49 seconds that dated to the Hockey East title game.
That hope, though, was dashed just 22 seconds later when Gaudreau found Carey in the slot for a one-timer that beat Patterson, giving BC a 5-1 lead.
A power-play goal by Brian Dumoulin with 14:09 remaining accounted for the final.
BC (32-10-1) advances to the national title game for the fifth time in seven years, and that makes Friday's final practice of the season quite enjoyable for York and the team.
"We always talk to our team about the very best practice being the one between the semifinal game and the national championship game," said York. "We have a lot of practices during the year, but that's the special one."

Have you ever looked at the "kids meal" while dining out and said to yourself "I wouldn't eat most of the things on this menu, let alone give them to my toddler!" There a good chance you have.
The standard fare on many restaurants kids menus seem to be grilled "cheese" on thick white bread, fried chicken tenders with sugar laden dipping sauces ,beef burgers and pizza all served with a side of French fries. Kids need their vegetables right? Seeing a toddler in a high chair with a fry clutched in their hand can be enough to induce a panic attack in some mothers!
Although improvements have been made, healthier food options on kid's menus can be limited. However, there is a local restaurant in the DMV area that has revolutionized the typical kids menu creating healthy, innovative, kid friendly and parent pleasing foods. The Silver Diner is a locally owned and operated restaurant serving our community since 1999.
The Silver Diner recently was celebrated as the 2013 National winners for Healthful Innovations by Menu Masters who recognize visionary and creative food service professionals in Research & Development and Culinary & Menu development.
Besides being delicious (judging by my 3 year-olds clean plate at the end of every meal) the food on the menu are 50% healthier consisting of food options that are under 600 calories, gluten-free, vegetarian friendly, low in fat and with hormone and antibiotic free meats. All entrees are served with a fruit or vegetable or a choice of milk or 100 % juice!
Take a look at the menu. No your eyes are not deceiving you, although available the menu does not list soda, home fries or French fries on the menu. Out of sight out of mind! There is no shortage of fresh vegetables here. The menu itself even reinforces healthy eating habits by providing a graphic of the My Plate dietary guidelines along with fun activities centered on nutrition and healthy eating.
As if that was not enough all menu items are taste tested and approved by kids and meet the criteria for the Kids LiveWell initiative, a voluntary program that consists of a group of restaurants committed to providing families with healthy kid's menus.
Although healthier menu option exist they are useless if parents do not have or do not adopt healthy eating habits. It is important that parents lead by example. Why would a child ever want to eat a side order of steamed edamame when mom or dad is digging into a mound of chili cheese fries?
When eating out it is refreshing to know that there are restaurants out there that are an extension of your dinner table reinforcing healthy eating habits in children that many parents work so hard to maintain. To find other restaurants that are committed to the health our children visit HealthyDinerFinder.com before you set off on your next dining experience.

A Week On Monday: Photographer Jasper Clarke on Brand and his metal moment
We can't tell you too much about the upcoming winter issue of Printed Pages but I can tantalise you with the news that last week myself and photographer Jasper Clarke headed to one of the city's best galleries to speak to and take the portrait of a major cultural figure. Interested to know what Jasper gets up to when he's not working with me, I asked him to step up for today's A Week On Monday which he duly did…
What's the best way of getting over Monday morning blues?
Doing or looking forward to doing your favourite activity, instead of going to work.
What song will you be listening to most this week?
I've just discovered this track called Stand on the Word by the Joubert Singers.It's an absolute banger and I can't stop listening to it. Other than that I've been having a bit of a metal moment so probably something by The Sword.
What was the best thing you read this morning?
Define "best!" I liked what I read in the Huffington Post about Russell Brand's enticement to apathy in his chat with Paxman that's doing the rounds. I've found Brand increasingly entertaining of late but calling on people to disengage when we all need to engage more is just stupid really.
Send us a picture of something you'll use a lot this week…
If you could have a midweek night out with anyone, doing anything what would it be?
I would like to go back in time to the infamous Tuesday Club with a small group of good friends before the demands of children, work and responsibilities devoured our time. When we were still just hanging onto the idea that we could get away with being irresponsible adults. Living the dream indeed!
What do you hope to have achieved come Friday?
Happy clients, happy girlfriend, happy me.

What chance of an agreement over petrol peace talks?
Private talks have begun to avoid a fuel tanker strike, as petrol prices continue to soar at the pumps, Consumer Editor Chris Choi looks at whether an agreement is likely.
Panic buying continues at petrol stations in West Country
Our Plymouth Correspondent Jonathan Gibson reports on the continuing petrol panic buying.
There's a warning tonight that parts of the West Country could run out of fuel altogether if motorists don't stop panic buying. Some fuel terminals say they've had to increase output by almost half.
Demand for fuel puts supply depots under pressure
Demand for fuel across the region is putting supply depots under increased pressure as many filling stations are running dry within hours of being topped up. Here's our Plymouth Correspondent Jonathan Gibson.
'Touch & Go' on fuel supplies as drivers continue to queue
The manager of one of Plymouth's two main fuel depots has said it could run dry if demand continues at the current rate.
Rob Brailsford, the depot manager for Chevron Texaco at Cattedown says it's "touch and go" if fuel supplies will last until the next shipment arrives at the start of next week. The depot normally supplies between 120 and 130 tankers of fuel a day but this has now risen to around 180.
Queues have continued to build at petrol stations across the south west this morning with drivers saying they're not prepared to take any chances.
Will panic-buying force fuel prices up?
Numerous filling stations in our region have reported running out of diesel and unleaded because of people panic-buying fuel, following the threat of a tanker drivers' strike. Yesterday the Government called on people to fill up their tanks in preparation.
