But, Huber says, no amount of self-punishment will ever make us happy or bring us control over life's problems. The help we are looking for is really found in self-acceptance and… Read More

A collection of photographs, Circa documents the timeless surroundings of one Torontonian, who like us the rest of us, walks amidst ghosts.
Disciplined as a child for taking photos of the city rather than her family, we follow the narrator's shunned photography through a hidden scrapbook, kept for decades. From the 1920's through to the mid 1980's -- where it ends abruptly, the collection reveals the silent stories of a growing city through the eyes of an admirer.

Urinetown was a most unique and very enjoyable musical experience. All members of the large cast gave it their all and the entire audience (though small) hooped and hollered throughout. It really was a lot of fun and I do recommend it. The theatre is just behind Miller Union and you can combine a good meal with your theatre experience.

Recent investigations described a personal best marathon time as a predictor variable for an Ironman race time in recreational male Ironman triathletes. Similarities and differences in anthropometry and training were investigated between 83 recreational male Ironman triathletes and 81 recreational male marathoners. Ironman triathletes were significantly taller and had a higher body mass and a higher skin-fold thickness of the calf compared to the marathoners. Weekly training volume in hours was higher in Ironman triathletes. In the Ironman triathletes, percent body fat was related to overall race time and both the split time in cycling and running. The weekly swim kilometres were related to the split time in swimming, and the speed in cycling was related to the bike split time. For the marathoners, the calf skin-fold thickness and running speed during training were related to marathon race time. Although personal best marathon time was a predictor of Ironman race time in male triathletes, anthropometric and training characteristics of male marathoners were different from those of male Ironman triathletes, probably due to training of different muscle groups and metabolic endurance beyond marathon running, as the triathletes are also training for high-level performance in swimming and cycling. Future studies should compare Olympic distance triathletes and road cyclists with Ironman triathletes.

The iDJ2 is a worthless product, DO NOT waste your money on this. The features are great, but the unit is completely unstable, it shut down on me in the middle of a gig, and left me with nothing. It has all kinds of bugs and glitches, and when you contact Numark they say that there is nothing wrong with it, even though it kept freezing, shutting, etc. Save youself the headache, time, and money, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

The New England Revolution kick off the 2014 MLS season this Saturday at the Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium in Houston, Texas, at 8:30 p.m. ET, broadcast on Comcast Sportsnet, and then fans will get their first real look at the local team in 2014.
Last season, the new-fashioned Revolution, under the leadership of head coach Jay Heaps and former U.S. Soccer Youth National Team coach Jay Miller, showed improved technical quality and results after several dismal seasons. But Miller was released and replaced by former D.C. United head coach Tom Soehn, who will make an impact on the team, one way or another.
In 2013, New England made their first post-season appearance since 2009 after finishing the 2014 season third in the Eastern Conference (10th overall). The Revolution were eliminated by MLS Cup Champion Sporting KC 4-3 on aggregate in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but the team did legitimately make the playoffs.
But the Revolution's off-season does not bode well for 2014. Veteran goalkeeper Matt Reis retired from the professional game and now former No. 2 goalkeepers Brad Knighton (recently of the Vancouver Whitecaps) and Bobby Shuttleworth will battle it out for the starting position. Both are capable keepers, but the Revolution could lose 2014 Defender of the Year Jose Goncalves, who organized the backline and often covered other defensive positions. Goncalves was reported to have financial disputes with the Revolution in the off-season and considering a return to Europe and his commitment to the team is uncertain.
Young forwards Kelyn Rowe and Diego Fagundez are bright lights indeed and work well with midfielder Lee Nguyen, but the team needs proven veteran leadership in the top half of the field. While Saer Sene is obviously talented, he seems rather fragile and prone to injury. New technical midfielder Daigo Kobayashi could be helpful but the Japanese veteran is already 35 years-old and will play on the hard turf at Gillette Stadium, which is never kind to older legs.
Ominously, Shalrie Joseph returned to train with the Revolution in late February and this can hardly be viewed as a positive thing. Joseph was one of the all-time greats in MLS, but began to drag down New England before his trade to Chivas USA, who then plummeted, and then Seattle Sounders, who also struggled when he was on the field in 2013. The Revolution holds onto players and staff long after their shelf life and it's a lesson they refuse to learn.
Paul Mariner, former assistant coach to former head coach Steve Nicol, returns to the Revolution as broadcast color analyst in concert with play-by-play announcer Brad Feldman. Hopefully, Mariner will share his extensive and humorous knowledge on air without homer bias and spur the team forward with criticism as well as praise.
Preseason results
Preseason results are seldom indicative of how a team performs in the regular season and New England's line-ups and neutral results are not a reliable indicator of success or failure. Good coaches try out new players and formations to discover what works before teams find out they don't work in competition. Although young standout Fagundez didn't score in preseason, he will be a major factor, as will Rowe who scored twiced. Although Teal Bunbury scored twice, his declining results in MLS don't speak well for the once-heralded forward.
Date Opponent Result Score Goal Scorers
Jan. 31 vs. Malmo FF (SWE) D 1-1 Rowe
Feb. 4 vs. Philadelphia Union D 1-1 Melo
Feb. 6 vs. Ft. Lauderdale Strikers W 2-1 Imbongo, Barnes
Feb. 19 vs. Real Salt Lake D 0-0 N/A
Feb. 22 vs. Chivas USA L 2-3 Nguyen, Bunbury
Feb. 26 vs. Chicago Fire W 1-0 Rowe

BEAT Reporter
BRUNSWICK — Memorial Elementary hosted the school's 10th annual Science Extravaganza on Feb. 1.
Students in all grades could participate.
This year, Mandy Clark, a fifth-grade teacher, and Cheri Brown, a kindergartner teacher, were in charge.
In the past, the students would sign up and then choose from a list of experiments available for each grade.
This year, Clark and Brown decided to let the students come up with their own experiments.
Each experiment had to be approved by the teachers and parents had to sign permission slips.
There were many experiments — from the classic volcano to a fizzy fountain and even one involving eating a cupcake.
Fifty students participated, with kindergartners making up the largest group.
Students, parents, grandparents and teachers attended.
Beth Nemcek, whose son, Ethan, and daughter, Rayna, participated this year, said the extravaganza is "a great opportunity for kids to get excited about science at an early age."
Brown summed up the event by stating "everyone's a winner."
Megan O'Connor, a seventh-grader at Visintainer Middle School, is one of more than "backpack journalists" in the award-winning Brunswick Schools video program. Go to www.thebeat22.com to learn more about the program, or visit thebeat.pegcentral.com to view videos produced by the students.

Aside from creating the most durable handsets and the best cameraphones in tech history, Nokia is also known to have "a phone for everyone", which means that the company has always had one or more offerings in every price echelon.
If you think the recently announced Lumia smartphones are a tad too much for your budget but you still want the best Nokia device that your Php 5,000 can get, then I'd suggest you check out Nokia Asha 503.
Nokia Asha 503 and 502, TP Friends! Super cute phones!
To be priced at $99 (or roughly Php 4,300) when it becomes available in the US later this year, Nokia Asha 503 is the most expensive model of the three Asha phones announced at Nokia World 2013, the last major event of Nokia as an independent handset maker, which I've been so blessed to have been a part of.
Actually, the upcoming Asha trio - Nokia Asha 500, 502, and 503 - only have subtle differences but what makes Nokia Asha 503 the most expensive of the bunch is that it has a slightly larger display, it has a 5 MegaPixel fixed focus camera with LED flash, and it supports 3G mobile connectivity.
Compared to the best-selling Nokia Asha 501 that was released earlier this year, Nokia Asha 503 has a refreshed - albeit still largely similar - design language highlighted by the dual-layer, swappable back case with glossy, transparent outer shell and an updated version of the Nokia Asha Touch operating system.
Nokia Asha Software Platform 1.2 brings a slew of enhancements to the interface including a new camera application which can be launched directly from the lock-screen simply by swiping up and a reworked FastLane that now supports closing or deletion of individual activities.
As of writing, Nokia has yet to disclose the handset's official SRP and release in the Philippines. I'm guessing, however, that it will land here by late December - just in time for your Yuletide gadget shoppping - with price tag of around Php 4,299.
TP Friends, here's a full demo video of Nokia Asha 503 that I recorded at Nokia World 2013 held in Abu Dhabi earlier this week. In the clip, Chris - our Nokia rep - shows us how the phone looks in the flesh, how to quickly open its new camera app and how you can instantly share photos to your favorite social networking sites.
To wrap this up in true TechPinas fashion, let me present to you the complete technical specifications of Nokia Asha 503, one of the Finnish Giant's new entry-level touchscreen smartphones:

This writer is from that same small town, Hanson, Massachusetts, but is a few years older. Nonetheless, after a veritable explosion on Facebook, it was time to check out what was going on and who the heck this Kristen Merlin was.
Apparently, Kristen Merlin is a country-rockish singer who has been doing the bar circuit on the South Shore for several years. She has met with some success and now, almost into her thirties, she decided it was time to do something bigger. That something was the television show "The Voice." Now, this history writer has very little experience with that show or anything like it, but when someone from the same podunk town as you does something even remotely special, you pay attention.
Kristen Merlin hit the stage energetically with a song that seemed plucked right out of the South. Within seconds, the judge guy with the strong jaw, the Internet says his name is Adam Levine, pushed his button. That seems like a good thing. Soon after, Mr. Usher and Ms. Shakira followed suit. Some other guy, presumably a country singer, didn't push his button, but it didn't seem like that big of a deal. Merlin, her girlfriend and her mom were very excited after Merlin picked Shakira to be her coach. No idea what that is, but will stay on top of it as this small town bit of history unfolds.

IRC aiding survivors of deadly Thailand refugee camp fire

Help survivors of the devastating Thailand refugee camp fire.>>
BANGKOK, Thailand - The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is providing aid to survivors of a fire at a refugee camp in Thailand that killed 37 people on Friday.
The fire destroyed hundreds of makeshift huts at the Ban Mae Surin camp in northwest Thailand, which is home to some 3,500 ethnic Karen refugees who have fled ethnic conflict in neighboring Myanmar. The fire also destroyed the camp's clinic and hospital.
Preliminary reports indicate that the blaze may have been started by a cooking accident.
"We are deeply saddened by this tragic event and the IRC is doing everything it can to provide swift aid and support to the survivors," said Christine Petrie, director of IRC programs in Thailand.
An IRC medical team arrived on the scene shortly after the fire broke out, Petrie said, and is providing medical treatment, mosquito nets, blankets, and other essential support and supplies.
More than 100 refugees were injured in the blaze and the IRC has transferred some of the most seriously injured to nearby Thai hospitals. One man died from his burns on Monday.
The IRC has set up a temporary health facility to replace the camp clinic and is providing treatment and services alongside Thai health representatives. An IRC environmental health team is also working to ensure that the camp's water supply is uninterrupted and is managing sanitation needs.
The fire left some 2,300 people homeless, most of whom are staying with other refugees or in makeshift tent shelters, Petrie said.
The Ban Mae Surin camp, which is located three miles (five kilometers) from the Myanmar border, was erected in 1992 and was intended to be a temporary shelter. But despite recent political reforms in Myanmar, the camp's refugees are reluctant to return home, citing concern for their safety. Many were born and have grown up in the camp.
In addition to Ban Mae Surin, the IRC provides healthcare, water and other critical services to tens of thousands of refugees in eight other camps on the Thailand-Myanmar border.
Help Survivors of Devastating Fire in Thai Camp
The IRC is providing emergency medical treatment and other aid to survivors of a devastating fire that swept through the Ban Mae Surin refugee camp in Thailand on March 22. We have set up a temporary health facility and are providing critical water and sanitation services.

A CrimeStoppers reward of $2,000 was announced on Wednesday for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the culprit who cruelly abused a dog that wandered into a CVS drugstore last week at 3900 Lawrenceville Highway in Lilburn, Ga. reported myfoxatlanta.com.
According to the Gwinnett County Animal Welfare and Enforcement, officers were called to the drugstore after the mixed breed dog entered the store. Customers and staff were shocked at the sight of the dog; his ears had been cut off and the top of his head was burned.
The dog is estimated to be about seven years old, possibly a boxer mix, and is gentle, and calm. Because of his medical needs, he will be available for rescue only.
Please follow his plight on Helping Animals at Gwinnett Animal Control by clicking here.
Funds are being pledged to help a qualified rescue organization save this terribly tortured dog who is now being treated with medication and pain control.
If a rescue organization is able to help, please contact Officer Joey Brooks at (770)-339-3200.

How do I make rsync_pdb and update_BLASTDB work with a proxy server using the web_proxy.json file, which I set up for getpdb? At present it fails with the error
rsync: failed to connect to prime.schrodinger.com: Network is unreachable (101)
rsync error: error in socket IO (code 10) at clientserver.c(124) [receiver=3.0.6]
You can do this by setting the environment variable
RSYNC_PROXY to user
:port. This should tell the
rsync_pdb and
update_BLASTDB scripts to use your proxy server. You will have to supply your password when the proxy server is contacted.
Note that this does not work if you use these scripts with the

Sapsuckers Hops and Grub
287 Main St., Huntington
You could say restaurateur and executive chef Nino Antuzzi (Red, Café Red) has a bird's eye view of his venture into the gastro pub world, Sapsuckers Hops and Grub, from the window of his Osterio di Rustica, directly across Main Street in Huntington Village, and can be proud as a peacock…or a sapsucker. His menu—long on beers, short on food—reveals a perfectly rendered gastro pub combination of esoteric craft beers and comfort food made with carefully sourced ingredients. The grub is here to complement the hops.
The clubby room that JD's Tap Room vacated feels more like what the board room at the Audubon Society must be like. Dark wood, stylish sconces and watercolors of birds everywhere (one of which may be the namesake, I'm guessing). More importantly, no overbearing TV in the dining room, or garish beer signage either.
The natural pairing of beef and cheese always gets to me. In this case, Alabama Sloppy Hammer ($10) featuring shredded short ribs covered by melted fontina on soft ciabatta bread could lead one to forsake cheeseburgers. Mac 'n Cheese ($8) lovers will enjoy this one with a crusty top. Chicken Pot Pie ($15) is also wonderful with just a crown of crust ($17). Not Your Mom's Grilled Cheese ($8.) with Berkshire bacon and tomato is as good as it sounds and The Classic Cuban Sandwich ($9) is authentically replicated. The trio of pulled pork sliders, Three Little Pigs ($8), using Berkshire pork, covered with sweet slaw is outstanding as is the cinnamon dusted Fried Chicken ($16) accompanied by terrifically crispy fries, as are all sandwiches. Their version of Shrimp Gumbo ($10) is like a bisque, very spicy and sporting four large shrimp you'll need to take a knife and fork to handle it.
The Butter Baked Pretzel ($5) is for nibbling at the bar. Salty and sweet, it's perfect with beer although oddly priced, considering sandwiches are only a couple of bucks more. Servers are light years beyond what you'd expect at a pub, knowledgeable on each dish.
Beer lovers can look upon the beer menu as something like an ongoing project, to be worked on over the course of an inebriated lifetime. You may briefly feel like a sap, or a sucker, shelling out as much for your hops as your grub but 21st Amendment India Pale Ale ($9), a tap special one week, had a complex taste and a formidable alcohol kick for a pint of suds. The long roster of beers are thoroughly described and cite alcohol content on the menu. A Bottle of Bear Republic Red Rocket Ale ($6) was dark for an amber beer but a treat nonetheless. A local Southampton Bier de Garde ($6), on tap, suited me just fine. With beers this good and solid, hearty food, no reason to eat like a bird. Is that enough bird references or what?

The Pinot Noir is handpicked and matured in French oak barriques. The winemaking follows a natural, patient approach with minimum intervention to maximize the pinot characters. A softer but robust red with great colour, cherry, chocolate and aromatic fruit provide delicious flavour and complexity on the nose.
We grow 11 varieties of grapes, each with several different clones. Small parcels of up to 100 cases are made from outstanding years and, as such, availability is limited: Sangiovese/Cabernet, Chardonnay/Roussanne, Nebbiolo, Shiraz, Viognier.

Awarded Grant to Prevent Violence and Violence-Related Injury
"Thoughtful Parenting" for Mothers and Fathers: Does Gender Matter?
FOA Number: CE07-010: Research for Preventing Violence and Violence-Related Injury
Project Period: 09/01/2007 - 08/31/2010
Application/Grant Number: CE001185
Principal Investigator: Julie Lynn Crouch, B.A.
Northern Illinois University
DeKalb, IL 60115
Phone: (815)753-7080
E-mail: email@example.com
The goal of this study is to extend evaluation of a theoretically and empirically-based prevention program (Thoughtful Parenting: Moment to Moment, TPMM), which was designed to reduce factors associated with problems in parenting (including verbal and physical assault of children). Preliminary data from a clinical trial with at-risk mothers indicate that TPMM is effective in reducing child physical abuse risk and depressive symptoms. The proposed study was designed to extend these findings, by examining whether gender moderates TPMM effectiveness, hence the target population will include both mothers and fathers at risk for problems in parenting (n = 192). This study will further extend findings beyond that of the clinical trial conducted with at-risk mothers (which used a treatment as usual control design) by employing a parent education program as the control condition. Use of the parent education control condition will standardize opportunities for contact with other parents and facilitators across treatment and control conditions, thus providing for a more stringent test of TPMM's effectiveness. In addition to the above goals, this project will provide additional data regarding the extent to which facilitator training (extensive versus nominal) moderates TPMM's effectiveness. Activities will include a multi-site evaluation using a randomized controlled design with pre-, post-, and six month follow-up assessments. The design includes two intervention conditions (extensively versus nominally trained TPMM facilitators) and a parent education control condition. Outcomes assessed will include self reports, behavioral assessments (in-home observations), and official child maltreatment reports. It is hypothesized that across pre-, post-, and follow-up assessments, TPMM groups, but not the control group, will demonstrate significant improvements (e.g., reductions in child physical abuse risk, depressive symptoms and increased ego strength) and that these improvements will be maintained across time.

The new Butterfinger Cups product launches with a Super Bowl ad that has edible couples seeking the advice from what appears to be a food sex therapist. This very suggestive and "raunchy" ad probably misses the mark for making folks want to try this new Butterfinger product.
The ad is "raunchy," according to the Huffington Post on Jan. 14, and it is Super Bowl bound. The Super Bowl which airs on Feb. 2 this year, is probably the most popular venue for launching new products. It's hard to see where folks will rush out for one of these new products as the ad isn't enticing when it comes to eating candy.
Check out the ad above in the video. Is it too much for selling candy?
The Butterfinger people mixed their product with peanut butter for a new twist on Bart Simpson's main staple. The commercial has couples sitting around a medical-type waiting room. There's a man called "Fish," with his wife "Chips" and a few other food-pairing couples.
In comes "Peanut Butter" and "Chocolate" and they are acting as if they are on the brink of foreplay. They are looking at a magazine and it opens up to a centerfold and they start getting breathy about the "crunchy" it offers on that page.
The kicker is when "Cheese" and "Cracker" come out of the office from seeing the doctor and the wife, "Cheese," is holding a hard salami and almost panting. She was happy to get something new added to dull "Cheese" and "Crackers."
The commercial is selling candy. It is about as risque as the Trojan vibrator commercial where everyone's hair is blown back. It might be appropriate for a sex lotion or another vibrator commercial, but it's not very appetizing for candy.
You can't help but picture what "Cheese" and "Cracker" are going to do with that salami when they get home and you've lost your appetite.

Frequently Asked Questions and Student Comments
What is Service-learning?
Service-learning is a method of teaching and learning that combines community service with academic instruction. It focuses on critical, reflective thinking and civic responsibility.
What are the essential components of Service-learning?
- Academic integrity: Service-learning assignments tied to course objectives.
- Meaningful service: Work that meets community needs and benefits the community.
- Reflection: The deliberate, facilitated process of examining, analyzing and discussing the connection between what is learned in the classroom and what is learned or experienced in the community, associating theory with the real world and one's personal life.
- Diversity: Exposure to new experiences and unfamiliar people, often moving a student away from their comfort zones.
- Reciprocity: A process of exchange shared responsibility and shared benefit.
- Development: Growth and change for all participants, developing academic, personal, professional, social and community skills.
- Responsibility: Strengthening community and personal involvement and accountability.
How does Service-learning help students?
Service-learning offers another way to learn course material through experience. It can help you develop critical thinking, interpersonal, team-building and personal skills and gives you opportunities to develop professional skills and evaluate possible careers. It also may help you clarify your values and acquaint you with a variety of persons and issues in your community.
Are there service-learning opportunities during the summer?
Service-learning opportunities are usually offered only during the fall and spring semesters due to the number of hours of service required. However, occasionally an instructor will offer opportunities in the summer. Check with your summer instructor to determine availability.
What should I do if I don't know which community agencies would suit my course requirements, personal interests and schedule?
Review the TCC Service-Learning Community Sites list, available on the Service Learning Website or contact the Department of Student Outreach and Civic Engagement, (918) 595-7838. Discuss options with your instructor and contact the Director of Engaged Student Programming, Carol Carr at (918) 595-7595 or by e-mail at email@example.com
How many hours per semester are required for the service-learning component of a class?
Service-learning experiences vary. Stand-alone courses in service-learning require 2-3 hours per week in a 16-week semester. When offered as a component of a course, requirements vary from 2-3 hours up to 12-20 hours. The instructor determines specific course requirements and assignments. You may be expected to write papers or journals or make presentations about your service-learning experiences.
How do I sign up for service-learning?
1. Read your class syllabus and discuss course requirements with your instructor.
2. If you need help identifying courses which offer Service-learning, contact Director of Engaged Student programming, Carol Carr at (918) 595-7595 or by e-mail at email@example.com. She will assist you in identifying a service learning experience suitable to your educational goals.
3. Select a community site for your service-learning and follow their procedures for any interviews, orientation, training, and scheduling.
What if I want to gain community experience, but my area of interest doesn't fall into a class situation?
Contact Carol Carr at (918) 595-7595 or by e-mail at email@example.com.
"I would recommend a form of social volunteerism to anyone who desires a new perspective on their own life."
"To be honest, when this assignment was made I did not want to do it. But I learned so much and had so much fun, I am now going back on my own."
"I have learned I have based my opinion about the homeless on what I have seen on television and heard from people. I am really glad that we have been doing this project. It has allowed me to come up with my own opinion about the homeless."
"Before volunteering, I did not realize how much I should be thankful for. This was an enlightening experience… I did not know organizations like the Day Center existed."

Kailyn Lowry has had a long journey to get where she is today. The "Teen Mom 2" star has gone through a lot since her "16 and Pregnant" days and things are finally going great for the reality show star. She is married to Javi Marroquin and the two recently welcomed their son, Lincoln, into the world. She, Javi, Lincoln, and Isaac are all living together in Delaware where Javi Marroquin is stationed and Kailyn Lowry revealed in a Feb. 4 interview that she has enrolled in college in her new home state.
"I actually just applied to Delaware State so I'm hoping if I get in I'll start in the fall. If I can go full-time, I'll go full-time."
Of course, most fans are aware that Kailyn Lowry worked as a dental assistant and had a pretty good job, but it doesn't seem that it was what Kail truly wanted to do. She revealed that she is going to study TV, Radio, and Film.
This isn't too surprising as other "Teen Mom" stars have chosen to continue their careers in the spotlight. Maci Bookout is studying journalism and hosted the "Teen Mom" after shows with the "Teen Mom 2" girls as well as with the "Teen Mom 3" girls for their one and only season of the show.
It turns out, in the future, Kailyn Lowry hopes to be the host of a show, but explained, "I'm willing to work to get there and do behind-the-scenes production and that kind of stuff."
It is obvious that Kailyn Lowry knows her goal is goal is going to be hard work, but if she has shown her fans anything, it is that she is willing to work hard to achieve any goal that she hopes to reach.
Her husband, Javi Marroquin, is willing to help out his wife, too! College is no easy task, but when you have two kids to care for, it can be even harder. Kail and Javi are a team, though, and Javi is willing to help out with the kids after work to ensure his wife can succeed.

Very funny lady!
Really nice to see the old woman having that nice fun. As, we all need to keep out elders and seniors muchhappier and comfortable at their stage of live, as they did that to us in our earlier stages. So, it would always be nice to provide them with better living and independent facilities.

The purpose of this project was to set up and validate a flexible robotic platform using 96-well DNA microarray for multiplex blood group genotyping.
miRNA inhibitors are invaluable tools for elucidating the roles of miRNAs. However, potent inhibitors may also affect other miRNAs. To understand the potential cross-reactivity of miRNA inhibitors, various miRNA inhibitor designs were systematically tested. We demonstrate that mismatches both within and outside the seed region of the miRNA interfere with inhibition. Our findings indicate that features important for natural miRNA target recognition are also important for inhibitor specificity.
For in vivo applications, the design of miRNA inhibitors and miRNA mimics must be optimized for stability and potency. However, stabilized miRNA mimic molecules can lose functionality compared to standard miRNA mimic molecules due, in part, to the activity of the stabilized passenger strand acting as a miRNA inhibitor. We discuss how mismatches affect the activity of the stabilized miRNA mimics, perhaps by generating a passenger strand that is less functional as an inhibitor molecule.
Presented here are results on the efficiency of using synthetic crRNA and tracrRNA to introduce gene editing events when co-transfected with a plasmid expressing Cas9. We explored the use of antibiotic and fluorescence activated cell sorting (FACS) methods for enrichment of cells that have undergone gene editing, and the use of multiple promoters to increase efficiency of gene editing with Cas9 and synthetic tracrRNA and crRNAs.
Our findings indicate that features important for natural miRNA target recognition also appear to be important for inhibitor specificity. Understanding the specificity of inhibitors allows for better interpretation of inhibitor activity in endogenous systems.
By examining the overlap of messages down-regulated by miRNA mimics and up-regulated by miRNA inhibitors, we robustly identify miRNA-regulated messages, many of which have canonical seed matches and some which are not identied by standard target prediction programs.
This poster compares different approaches to hit stratification and validation after an initial screen. Standard siRNA reagents deconvoluted from a pooled set of four were compared to a pooled set of four specificity enhanced reagents. High confidence hits were similar. To explore the validity of low confidence hits, a chimeric approach was used whereby a gene-specific seed sequence was introduced into a non-targeting siRNA scaffold. This work resulted in new hit stratification strategies.

ST LOUIS (LALATE) – The Mega Millions March 11, 2014 winning numbers last night produced no big winner, reps tell news. So the draw is rolling over once again. As a result, the 3/14/14 Mega Millions winning numbers will break a new U.S. record. Officials tell news this morning that Friday's 11 pm draw will be the first largest in U.S. history. Moreover, as LALATE reported last night, there have been no draws in U.S. history that at this payout level still didn't produce winners.
In a news statement about Mega Millions last night, reps this morning indicate that there were no big winners, but several smaller winners, last night. So that has prompted a massive jump in Friday's payday. Reps indicate to news that a winning ticket for Mega Millions Friday March 14, 2014 will be worth three hundred fifty-three million dollars. The cash option will be huge. It currently sits at one hundred ninety-four million dollars. And those numbers can still change. The draw results will announced live at 11 pm EST Friday.
Officials are predicting massive sales this week. An "estimated $353 million Mega Millions jackpot ($194 million cash option) will attract lottery players across the country this Friday. At that level, the prize ranks as the fifth largest jackpot in Mega Millions history", reps add.
Some people became instant millionaires last night, however. "Two tickets hit five of the six numbers in Tuesday night's drawing (9, 14, 56, 57 and 69) but missed the Mega Ball of 10 to fall short of the jackpot prize." Mega Millions further tells news that "the Match 5 winning tickets, worth $1 million each, were purchased in Texas and Washington. A total of 95 Match 5 winning tickets have been sold since the Mega Millions matrix changed last October." For winning numbers this week from Powerball and Mega Millions click HERE.

BACKGROUND: Open abdomen treatment (OAT) is considered a lifesaving procedure in patients with abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after endovascular or open intervention for ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (RAAA). Standardized treatment methods and algorithms for its use are still lacking. The high, published mortality rates may reflect difficulties in detecting and treating ACS, especially in patients treated by emergency endovascular aneurysm repair (eEVAR). Presented are standardized algorithms for OAT, including a new technique using the vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) system developed during 10 years of experience with eEVAR for RAAA. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 102 patients with RAAA treated by eEVAR from January 1998 to April 2008. Abdominal decompression was done when intravesical pressure >20 mm Hg or when abdominal perfusion pressure was <50 to 60 mm Hg and concomitant organ deterioration occurred. OAT was initially done with a subcutaneously sutured plastic bag or with a nonsutured zipper drape combined with a VAC device (VAC/ETHIZIP; KCI International Inc, Amstelveen, The Netherlands; Ethicon, Somerville, NJ). All patients were switched to VAC/ETHIZIP as soon as possible. Dressings were generally changed every 3 to 5 days. Intra-abdominal pressure was monitored until stability was observed after delayed direct abdominal closure. RESULTS: Overall 30-day mortality for eEVAR was 13% (13 of 102); 8% (7 of 82) for patients without ACS and 30% (6 of 20) for those with ACS. Decompression for ACS was needed in 20 patients (20%) primarily during the intervention (n = 14) or secondarily in the intensive care unit (n = 6). Six of 20 (30%) patients requiring OAT died <or=30 days (4 primary, 2 secondary). A mean of 3.6 (range, 1-12) planned second-look interventions were done per patient at an interval of 3 to 5 days. No bowel lesions were observed. Four patients required antibiotic therapy for abdominal infection, and all infections resolved. Delayed abdominal wall closure (direct closure, 11; closure with polypropylene mesh, 3; bilateral anterior rectus abdominis sheath turnover flap, 1) was achieved after a median of 6 days (range, 1-47 days). CONCLUSION: The use of standardized novel techniques and a treatment protocol and algorithm for OAT after eEVAR for RAAA were feasible and safe. It decreased the workload of the medical and nursing staff, enhanced patient comfort because the need for dressing changes was minimized, and likely contributed to lower overall mortality in RAAA patients. Delayed direct fascial closure was possible in most patients.

Trillectro, a one day festival dedicated to hip-hop and electronic dance music (EDM), will descend on Washington DC for another year of music, mischief and just a little bit of mayhem. The big event is going down on Saturday, August 23, 2014 at the RFK Stadium grounds (2400 East Capitol Street, NE).
Trillectro 2014 boasts an eclectic and compelling roster of musical talent featuring: Big Sean, Migos, Fat Trel, Baauer ("Harlem Shake"), Lunice, Rome Fortune, Ras Nebyu, Sango, Goldlink, Twrk, Spinser Tracy and Oddisee. DC rising rap star Lightshow will make his first Trillectro appearance. DJ Money will hold down the turntables and Lowkey will be hosting again this year.
Although this is the current list of musicians scheduled to perform, don't be surprised to see other prominent acts at the show. Trillectro is famous for unscripted performances. Last year red-hot rappers A$AP Rocky and Fat Trel jumped on stage "Hot 97 Summer Jam style" without any prior notification.
Trillectro was created by Modi, Marcel and Quinn from the influential music blog DC to BC, and each year the festival has grown more popular with both the fans and the performers. In fact, this year's move to a larger venue (Trillectro formerly took place at the Half Street Fairgrounds) is probably due to problems last year with overcrowding and long lines.
The show location, the RFK Stadium Festival Grounds, is conveniently situated just outside the former home of the Washington Redskins. The easily accessible venue is only a short walk from the Stadium-Armory Metro Station.
VIP and Advance tickets (in limited quantities) can still be purchased at Ticketmaster. To view the entire lineup of performers, go to: http://dctobc.com/trillectro/
Trillectro 2014 is sponsored by Events DC, Shoe City, Reebok, Heineken and Karmaloop.
The Official Trillectro 2014 Afterparty will be held Saturday night at the 9:30 Club (815 V Street, NW) with Metro Boomin, Lakim, DJ Kidd Marvel and More Than Frnds. The doors open at 11:30 p.m. and everyone's getting kicked out at 4:00 a.m.
To get a taste of the great music featured at Trillectro, check out the 2014 Trillectro Festival Mixtape presented by DJ Spicoli and DJ Kidd Marvel. Download it now at www.soundcloud.com.
Trillectro has teamed up with fashion label Rare Panther to create the limited run RARELECTRO Collection. You can purchase these cutting edge designs from their website, or in person at the festival.

I just can't help wondering what it was that the team of global warming researchers were looking to prove when they ventured into the Antarctic with a ship and got stuck in the ice. As of this writing they are still stuck. I thought global warming was "settled science". If that's the case why venture into the Antarctic? Exactly what is it that they were expected to find? Think about it, if they went any farther they would have come across more ice, snow and miserably cold temperatures. Were they thinking they would find less of it?
Was it a challenge to their hypothesis in that they were so very sure that the globe was warming that they could just take a ship into the a frozen hell hole and not get stuck "due to global warming", come back and say "we just sailed deep into the antarctic and didn't get stuck, see, that's global warming for ya"?
And the daily reports of this unimaginable folly is reported un-ironically to a point of media negligence. The New York Daily News just calls them "researchers" (read here) and makes no mention of climate research. CNN just quotes one of the passengers as a "climate change researcher" with no mention of the ships mission. London's Mail Online reports it thus:
They went in search evidence of the world's melting ice caps, but instead a team of climate scientists have been forced to abandon their mission … because the Antarctic ice is thicker than usual at this time of year.
Thicker than usual? In other words there should have been less ice like in the past, right? In the past when it was colder and the ice caps weren't melting like they are now supposedly.
...The scientists have been stuck aboard the stricken MV Akademik Schokalskiy since Christmas Day, with repeated sea rescue attempts being abandoned as icebreaking ships failed to reach them.
Now that effort has been ditched, with experts admitting the ice is just too thick. Instead the crew have built an icy helipad, with plans afoot to rescue the 74-strong team by helicopter.
I want to know who the "expert" are that "admitted" (under pressure?) that the ice is "too thick". Are they experts in ice? What's that called, iceologists? Are these the same experts who were going to find the melting "ice caps"? Did they actually think they would find anything that resembles anything that they can label "melting" in the antarctic?
What they also failed to do was to retrace the steps of Antarctic explorer Douglas Mawson who a hundred years ago explored the region but was able to go much farther in with a godforsaken miserably cold wooded boat that probably used a sail with a crew eating salt pork. The Mail Online says of this:
The expedition is being lead by Chris Turney, a climate scientist, who was hoping to reach the base camp of Douglas Mawson, one of the most famous Antarctic explorers, and repeat observations done by him in 1912 to see what impact climate change had made...
...The Academic Shokalskiy set off from New Zealand on November 28 to recreate a 100-year-old Australasia expedition first sailed by Sir Douglas Mawson to see how the journey changes using new technology and equipment.
Oh it changed alright. Put that in your data under "failed".
But it's "Climate change", you see, not global warming. In the old terminology it would be reported that a ship of researchers studying global warming got stuck in the ice and could not get out thus preventing the team from observing ice caps melting which would confirm that global warming is real, not that this is needed because when we already know it's settle science.
It just doesn't get any more absurd than this....alright, maybe the Obama presidency comes close.

Several brands of hummus and dips sold at Trader Joe's and Target are being recalled for contamination. In all, 14,860 pounds of hummus is being recalled according to a release from the Food and Drug Administration.
The Texas Department of Health found a listeria contamination during a routine test of Target Archer Farms Traditional Hummus, and now Lansal, Inc. is voluntarily removing all of their products made at the same facility.
While no one has gotten sick yet, this particular type of contamination is potentially serious for children, pregnant women and the elderly. A release from the FDA says that the organism listeria monocytogenes can cause fever, headaches, nausea, diarrhea and abdominal pain.
Some of the recalled items include Trader Joe's edamame hummus and several varieties of Target Archer Farms hummus. You can look at a full list of items recalled here.
Consumers who have purchased hummus products on the recall list can return it to the place of purchase for a full refund.
There are several Trader Joe's in the valley including the store in Mesa located at 2050 E Baseline Rd, Mesa, AZ.
