Current Research
Cancer cells depend on altered nutrient uptake and metabolism to grow and divide. In order to appropriately regulate energy-intensive processes such as growth and proliferation, cells must be able to gauge their metabolic resources. My lab is interested in understanding how cells sense nutrient availability and integrate this information with signaling and transcriptional networks in order to modulate activities such as growth, proliferation, and differentiation. Current research focuses on elucidating the roles of nutrient-sensitive protein modifications in regulating signaling and gene expression in the contexts of cancer and metabolic disease.
Wellen Lab
Growth factor signaling directs nutrient uptake and metabolism, and reciprocally, intracellular metabolite levels influence signaling and gene expression. Many critical signaling molecules and transcription factors are subject to modifications, such as acetylation and glycosylation, that are metabolically sensitive and may be altered in cancer cells.
We have recently demonstrated that acetylation of histones, and associated changes in gene expression, are responsive to glucose availability in a manner dependent on ATP-citrate lyase (ACL), a metabolic enzyme that cleaves mitochondria-derived citrate to produce acetyl-CoA in the nucleus and cytoplasm. Hence, histones can be modified in a manner responsive to nutrient availability, potentially influencing multiple chromatin-dependent processes. A major current focus of the lab is to elucidate the mechanisms through which ACL regulates acetylation and its impact on signaling and gene expression, using cancer and metabolic cell types and mouse models.
A second area of interest is in understanding the role of the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway in regulating metabolism and growth. The hexosamine pathway is a branch of glucose metabolism that produces UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), a donor substrate used in the production of several types of glycans, including N-linked glycans. Many cell surface and secreted proteins are modified co-translationally by N-linked glycosylation, and these glycoproteins can be influenced by metabolic state through glucose flux into the hexosamine pathway. Changes in the function and surface expression of glycoproteins can impact tumor growth by altering cancer cells' interactions with their environment, including their ability to respond to growth factors and acquire nutrients. We are currently investigating how the hexosamine biosynthetic pathway is regulated in cancer cells and its impact on cancer cell growth and proliferation.

'Grey's Anatomy' is bringing back Isaiah Washington, one of the show's original cast members and one of its most controversial. According to the Hollywood Reporter on March 6, the actor will reprise the role of Dr. Preston Burke for a May episode, just in time to the series and fans to say goodbye to Cristina Yang as played by Sandra Oh, another original cast member, who will be departing the series at the end of season 10.
It was seven years ago that Washington was fired from the show after he was involved in on-set clashes with co-star T.R. Knight and after Washington made anti-gay remarks directed at Knight.
Showrunner Shonda Rhimes says that bring the character of Burke back is integral to making sure Cristina's journey runs its full course. The two had a deeply emotional relationship in the early seasons and were at one point engaged to one another.
"Burke is vital to that journey -- he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang," Rhimes said.
His ousting from the show took its toll on his career. He just returned to series work last year with a role The CW's The 100, his first series regular role since he left Grey's.
The controversial remarks drew the anger of the LGBT community as well as Rhimes who is LGBT-friendly. As a result, Washing made an apology, saying his behavior was "unacceptable in any context' and he commended Knight for the courage he displayed when the situation forced him to come out.
No date for the episode was released and no details of the storyline have been shared at this point.
Grey's Anatomy airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. on ABC.

The Monday, July 7 episode of "Teen Wolf," 403, "Muted," sees Scott's position as team captain threatened by a freshman lacrosse player, but an incident on the field during tryouts leads to something Scott couldn't have predicted. Meanwhile, everyone's looking into the massacre of all but one member of a family.
You know what's so good about "Teen Wolf"? It doesn't try to be something it's not. It is what it is, and some of the more absurd lines reflect just that. Someone who spent years in the form of a coyote wouldn't understand math, so why wouldn't Malia growl and claw out in the middle of class? Why wouldn't their lacrosse status be as important as major money issues once Scott and Stiles see the freshmen?
Why would Scott be worried about attending something like economics class when there's a family massacre to investigate, Stiles wonders. Why wouldn't being able to tip in a restaurant be the number one reason to study math, he suggests when forcing Malia to attend class. Why wouldn't Melissa and the Sheriff just casually mention giving their sons a day off from murder and massacre? Why wouldn't Scott tell Chris Argent that his sister is back from the dead via a text since he can't afford to call France? (Speaking of money, we get a nice mention of the Stilinskis' financial problems following Stiles' trip to Eichen House and MRI.)
And what better way to begin an episode about murder and massacre than with almost an entire family slaughtered by a man without a mouth but with a tomahawk and a bloody cat to complete the picture? The youngest son escapes and ends up in Melissa's care, while Parrish stakes out the house, only to find Lydia inside because once again, she's been drawn to dead bodies, and yes, there are more of them in the house. She finds a secret passage behind a wall with what looks like creepy faces screaming in the wood, and she and Parrish then discover a giant freezer with bodies hanging in plastic bags. Also, Lydia apparently gave Malia what should be math notes, but as Stiles discovers, it's a notebook filled with some sort of code?
As for lacrosse, Scott and Stiles do about as well as can be expected from two guys who were busy dealing with death, fighting a nogitsune, saving Beacon Hills from demons, taking a day trip to Mexico to save a friend and trying to figure out what to do with a teenaged Derek. New freshman Liam, on the other hand, is so impressive that Stiles not so subtly questions him in the locker room about his skills. Did he happen to go strolling through the woods for a midnight walk during a full moon? No, he's just that good. However, in an attempt to prove that he still belongs on the team as its captain, Scott takes Liam down hard and sends him to the hospital. Coach's frustration leads to Kira showing off her own skills and earning a spot on the team.
Since the school was the site of attempted murder and mayhem last week, all the action at the end of this episode takes place in and on the hospital. While Liam tells his stepfather doctor that he blames himself for going up against two juniors for his injury, Melissa finds Sean eating the deputy that should have been guarding him. Glowy-eyed, toothy Sean attacks her, and Scott attacks him, and when Sean runs off, he finds Liam.
Scott finds them on the roof and tries to offer to help, but as Sean puts it, "Wendigos don't need help. We need food." Liam ends up hanging off the roof, and with Sean holding Scott's arms, he bites the freshman's arm. Fortunately, then the mouthless being shows up to kill Sean and leaves with a creepy "shh" gesture for Scott. But Scott still bit Liam, and Araya did warn Scott what she would do if he turned someone…
Meanwhile, Derek and Peter negotiate with Braeden to have her find Kate – and she has a steep price, since it means going against her previous deal with the hunters in Mexico. Peter's upset when Derek basically promises her all their money because apparently it costs a lot to keep their very empty loft as bare as it is and "crazy psychopath" doesn't look good on a resume (plus Peter doesn't want a job because being Satan in a V-neck takes up all his free time), but Derek has more important problems to worry about, like his yellow eyes. "The true nature of someone is reflected in their eyes. In your case, the color of your eyes," Braeden tells him before going off to talk to people who would never talk to him.
Also, Kira's parents have decided that moving out of Beacon Hills is the right move because, well, they're smart. They have this little thing called a survival instinct. The only problem? No one told Kira, so she finds out when she finds the sign on their lawn. "It's a For Sale sign," Kira's mother explains, for some reason. "It lets people know your house is for sale." She sees it as a "win" that Kira didn't have to kill Stiles, and the move was supposed to be temporary, so why not get out while they still can?
Kira weakly tries to use her father's job as a reason to stay, but he had a much better job in New York (high school teacher at Beacon Hills where no one cares about classes or professor at Columbia, not a hard choice) and they know she wants to stay because of Scott. So how does Kira deal with the potential move? Well, the For Sale sign ends up in half.
Finally, let's talk about the romances on the show a bit. Scott and Kira are in that awkward "what are we?" stage, which leads to him giving her a "like you kiss your grandmother when you're five" kiss, but he does make up for it. After apologizing for the kiss, he follows up with, "You know what? I'm not sorry," and movie-style kisses her. (Kind of "The Notebook"-ish?) Meanwhile, Stiles and Malia seem to be drama-free relationship-wise and come up with a system to help get through studying: study first, kiss after.
"Teen Wolf" season 4 airs Mondays at 10 p.m. on MTV. What did you think of episode 3 "Muted"?

I'm basically done, but before I finalize for printing, I'm trying to decide if I should put some details inside the hollow tree (e.g. fungus, ferns, etc.). I am thinking I will purchase some wargaming miniature grass, leaves, and moss to fill in the blank portions. Has anyone worked with wargaming minis before?

 Also, I am planning to glue some translucent material (rice paper?) to the wing structure (probably just on one side of each wing, not both). Any ideas or suggestions on materials or process?

 Any other thoughts?

While many modelers know Dr. Shelley as the product manager for MacroModel, Dr. Shelley has also been acting as product manager for Desmond, a high performance molecular dynamics package developed by D. E. Shaw Research and scheduled for release as part of Schrödinger Suite 2008. Here, Dr. Shelley discusses the advances conceived and implemented by the D. E. Shaw Research team, as well as the design and implementation of the practical, straightforward Desmond interface within Maestro.
Desmond, a new parallel molecular dynamics program created by D. E. Shaw Research, provides researchers with the tools to simulate biomolecular systems with unsurpassed speed and accuracy. Schrödinger is releasing Desmond commercially and has integrated the software into the Maestro molecular modeling environment. The result is a product that makes setting up, running, and analyzing molecular dynamics simulations straightforward, allowing users to focus on the scientific problem of interest.
Desmond is a state-of-the-art molecular dynamics package, incorporating the following key innovations:
- Exploiting advanced parallel algorithms, Desmond achieves unprecedented scalability on both high-end and typical Linux clusters.
- Desmond takes advantage of SIMD (single-instruction multiple data) and other low-level parallelism strategies, providing high performance even at the single processor level.
- Desmond excels in numerical accuracy. Simulations can be run in single precision without compromising numerical rigor. Checkpoint and restore facilities are bitwise accurate, and bitwise reversible simulations are possible.
Key functionalities include:
- Explicit solvent simulations with periodic boundary conditions using cubic, orthorhombic, truncated octahedron, rhombic dodecahedron, and arbitrary triclinic simulation boxes
- Efficient parallel minimizer application for system setup and equilibration
- Ability to calculate absolute and relative solvation free energies
- Ability to calculate absolute and relative binding free energies
Key technical features include:
- Long range electrostatics rigorously treated via particle mesh based Ewald techniques
- Time-scale splitting and efficient integration using multiple time-step (RESPA) based integrators
- Accurate implementation of constraints to remove highest frequency vibrations and increase the integration time step
Support for a variety of thermodynamic ensembles including NVE, NVT, NPT with
- Berendsen or Nose-Hoover thermostats
- Berendsen or Martyna-Tobias-Klein barostats
- Support for isotropic, semi-isotropic and anisotropic pressure coupling
- Ability to restrain the position of selected atoms
- Accurate restarts using sophisticated checkpointing facilities
- Plug-in capability to enable visualization and analysis of trajectories using VMD
D. E. Shaw Research has published a number of papers related to Desmond, including an early overview of the Desmond software1. A number of other papers describe algorithms and implementation techniques that significantly accelerate parallel MD simulations compared with current state-of-the-art codes. This includes a set of papers outlining novel parallel decomposition methods that greatly reduces the requirement for inter-processor communication2,3,4. Desmond also excels in numerical accuracy, an example of which is provided in a short note on the handling of constraints in molecular dynamics simulations5. Finally, a number of application studies using Desmond have been published. These papers include a study of the function of a transmembrane (sodium/proton antiporter) protein in which simulation results were subsequently supported by experimental site-directed mutagenesis studies6, as well as the use of microsecond-long molecular dynamics simulations to compare simulation results to those obtained by experimental NMR7.
Desmond calculations can be set up, run and reviewed from within Maestro, thereby providing an intuitive and productive environment for performing molecular dynamics simulations. New panels accessible from Maestro include the System Builder, the Desmond panel, Free Energy Perturbation Setup, Trajectory Viewer and Simulation Quality analysis. The System Builder (Figure 1) makes it easy to construct systems suitable for simulation using periodic boundary conditions starting from a solute structure; a process which involves selectively adding the molecules in the environment and assigning force field parameters (OPLS_2005). Bulk solvent (optionally containing salt) and membrane environments are supported, as are a variety of simulation cell shapes. Charge neutralization is largely automated; however, control over the placement of neutralizing ions is supported in a convenient manner. The panel is designed such that it is often sufficient just to click Start.
The Desmond panel, shown in Figure 2, is used to actually launch Desmond jobs. This panel supports starting or continuing both minimizations and simulations. The user can intuitively examine and adjust many key calculation parameters, and any coupled parameters are automatically adjusted when changes are made. The user can also elect to prepend a fully automated relaxation process to the production simulation with just a single click. As with the System Builder, the default parameters are selected such that the user need only enter the desired simulation length and click Start.
Free energies are key properties of interest in molecular systems. Free energy calculations are often tedious, difficult and time consuming to design and setup. The Free Energy Perturbation (FEP) Setup panel (Figure 3) makes setting up FEP jobs easy so that the user can focus on the real problem of interest rather than the details of the calculation. This panel supports the following solvation free energy and binding free energy calculations:
- ligand side-chain mutation (relative free energy)
- ring atom mutation (relative free energy)
- ligand annihilation (absolute free energy)
Maestro also now supports viewing simulation trajectories via the Trajectory Viewer, depicted in Figure 4. Using this comprehensive tool the user can intuitively select the frame being displayed or the speed at which the simulation is viewed. Maestro's tools permit easy manipulation of the representation and visibility of the components in the system. Trajectory smoothing, superposition to an earlier frame, replication of the simulation cell, and extraction of sets of frames are all supported features. Maestro can also create images of individual frames, or movies of entire trajectories, with only a few mouse clicks.
Figure 1. Solvating a globular protein. P38 before solvation (left). The System Builder panel in default configuration (middle). Simply clicking Start solvates and adds ions to neutralize the system, yielding the configuration depicted in the image to the right.
Figure 2. The Desmond panel. Aside from the total simulation time, the default parameter settings provided in the Desmond panel are appropriate for most simulations. Minimizations or even multistage relaxations can also be launched from this panel.
Figure 3. The FEP panel makes it possible to easily set up and launch multiple FEP calculations. Here multiple molecular fragments have been selected for addition across a bond (green) in a ligand. The conformation of one of them is included in the workspace. The user can opt to interactively adjust the conformation of each selected fragment.
Figure 4. Maestro's trajectory-viewing facility is both feature-rich and convenient.
Figure 5. The Simulation Quality Analysis panel makes it easy to review key quality measures from a simulation.
Desmond molecular dynamics simulations can be monitored from Maestro's Workspace. Desmond jobs are launched using Schrödinger's Job Control facility; providing a standardized mechanism for running both local and remote jobs, monitoring jobs, interacting with queues, halting jobs, and incorporating results into Maestro projects automatically. In addition, a plug-in for viewing Desmond simulations in VMD is provided.
Python is central to Desmond-related tasks. Nearly all Desmond jobs can be launched from Python, thus permitting the development of user-specific workflows. Analysis of Desmond simulations also makes use of Python; furthermore, straightforward and customizable scripting is possible via support from NumPy for complex mathematical operations and MatPlotLib for plotting. There also is an intuitive tool, the Simulation Quality Analysis panel (Figure 5), for assessing key markers of simulation quality.
Problem-solving often requires use of a wide range of modelling techniques. A compelling feature of this new product is the synergies that result from Desmond's integration into Schrödinger's premier molecular modelling suite for drug development. For instance, careful chemical and conformational preparation of molecules often represents a critical step in setting up a molecular dynamics simulation. The Protein Preparation Wizard, LigPrep (ligand structure) and Epik (ligand protonation state) can be used to ensure that the structures provided to Desmond are chemically correct. Starting conformations for Desmond simulations can originate from a number of sources; including, homology models produced by Prime or docked ligand poses from Glide.
Desmond's efficient and accurate simulations make it possible to thermally relax, refine, and sample conformations of proteins and protein-ligand complexes on useful time scales. Desmond's simulations may be used to select systems or conformations for further study. For example, the use of alternate protein conformations in subsequent docking calculations with Glide, or as input into SiteMap to characterize protein active sites. Another new product from Schrödinger, WaterMap, utilizes a specific type of Desmond simulations to identify and thermodynamically characterize water molecule positions within the binding site of a protein.
Desmond's accuracy, speed, scalability, and ease of use make it possible for researchers to move beyond the complexities and intricacies of setting up and running molecular dynamics simulations so that they can concentrate on the problem of interest. This should greatly expand the productive use of molecular dynamics simulations in the pharmaceutical industry.

OK, what could be the silliest, most entertainingly absurd thing you could write about? Nazi werewolves from space invading Earth? Nope, already done. Let's see, how about King Tut Driving a truck, hum, getting there, but to make it truly unique, let's factor in subterranean transgender vampires. Ah, now were getting there. Think we're kidding you? We'll we're not, but if you are thinking of writing such a story, you'd be sure outta luck, because someone already got there first. No, seriously. Simon Sanchez the writer and madman genius behind Trauma Comics is already writing King Tut Truck Driving Pharaoh. The book is illustrated by Dean Juliette, and it is hilariously entertaining.
Trauma Comics is a relatively new comicbook company specializing in off-the-beaten-[path horror/action comics (its other titles are Nazi Werewolves from Space and Kung Fu Satanist). Both of which are, admittedly a tad…uh, unusual. Needless to say, King Tut Truck Driving Pharaoh delivers exactly what it's rather unusual title promises. In the debut issue we meet the ubiquitous King Tut who has risen from the dead to discover that there are forces who want him not so much to rule the Earth anew, but for his blood! Now the mighty Egyptian King must battle a group of terrifying Subterranean, Trans-Gender Vampires for his precious bodily fluids if he has desire to survive in this new world.
This tongue-in-cheek horror book delivers this initial "horror" story in 28 pages in full color and with no ads. Evoking the feeling of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, we now have King Tut returned to the 21st Century and somehow trading in his chariot for an 18-wheeler. The story begins with the sarcophagi of the great King and his beloved wife being loaded up in a truck so as to be transported to a museum. While the truck is en-route, an acolyte stowaway of the King casts a spell and spills a bit of his own blood in order to bring the mummies back to life. The gent succeeds, unfortunately while he is doing this, the truck's redneck drivers stop for a little bit of "extracurricular activities" with a pair of hookers. Only, as it turns out, they turn out to be those subterranean transgender vampires we wrote about earlier.
These undead creatures of the chow-down True Blood style on the driver and his pal then they head back into the body of the truck to do the same to Tut and his wife, only to find them already revived by their disciple. As Tut awakens, he discovers his wife already being torn apart by one of the vampires and that's when things start to get really delightfully weird as Tut finds himself in a nest of the creatures who are really out for his blood. Aided by his subject, and his magical staff, Tut manages to escape from the coven of vamp, only to discover…well, that would be telling. Suffice it to say the quest for immortality gets even weirder from there.
Sanchez's off-kilter, yet completely readable tale, sets the stage for what will hopefully prove to be yet another very entertaining series.

Story by Rick Cusick
On January 15, the federal government announced plans to expand its employee drug-testing program to include hair, saliva, and sweat tests. Federal standards for these tests are forthcoming. At the moment, standards exist only for urine tests.
Currently, 40 million workplace drug tests are conducted each year by US employers. Once the standards for hair, saliva, and sweat tests are announced, that number could easily skyrocket. The American drug-test business is conservatively estimated to be a $4 billion industry, a figure primarily accounted for by urinalysis. As hair assays, saliva swabs, and sweat patches are officially added to the Drug War's increasing aresenal, the battlefield broadens, and that $4 billion figure could well become chump change.

>Brookings Oregon News, Sports, & Weather | The Curry Coastal Pilot
The waving man waved, the teacher of the year mimed his message, and 132 graduates were granted their diplomas at Saturday's 2009 Commencement Ceremony at Brookings-Harbor High School.
Graduates were instructed by a member of their class to move their tassels to the opposite side of the cap. The Pilot/ Bill Schlicting
Graduates, wearing lei, feather boas and duck slippers, made their way through a gauntlet of parental paparazzi to reach their seats.
Principal Bryan Wood welcomed the Class of 2009, and thanked their parents for sharing their children for the last 18 years or so.
Ninety percent of the class already had plans, including work, military, and, for 84 percent of those students those plans include more schooling.
"It is proof our standards are high," Wood said. The graduates "are diverse and talented young adults."
A large number of those students are going on to vocational education, while others will be entering a community college or university.
School Board Member Ken Caylor introduced Co-Valedictorians Kayla Hamm and Zoey Silver and Salutatorian Kyle Byers.
"I'm not moving out because I don't want to be with you, Mom and Dad," Byers joked. "I don't think the girls think it's cool."
Silver had a more serious message.
"Every new beginning is another beginning's end," she told her classmates.
Silver set out a list of how to use that new beginning to best advantage.
Hamm touched on her experiences in school, her family and how she will miss Brookings.
"I love being able to make it anywhere in less than five minutes," she said.
Senior members of Sea Breeze, the school jazz choir, performed "Graduation," by Vitamin C, as a message to their classmates.
"As we go on, we remember./All the times we, had together./And as our lives change, from whatever./We will still be, friends forever."
Teacher of the Year Art Dingle didn't say a word, he let the class say it for him, through charades.
"I love you," he acted out, and class shouted in response.
Keynote speaker Ira Tozer, Brookings' "waving man," walked out – waving.
"I have found the fountain of youth," Tozer said. "It is the children."
The sun came out to shine on the graduates during roll call, and a half-dozen beach balls appeared and bounced between them in a celebratory bit of fun.
The class honored the memory of Kaitlyn Wallace, who would have graduated with them had she survived her battle with cancer. Wallace died April 24, 2008.
As each graduate walked off of the stage they were handed a pebble from a local beach. One by one, Wallace's classmates dropped their pebbles into a vase under her portrait.
The portrait and vase were to be given to Wallace's family.

This dress could not be more beautiful. It has a deliciously soft silk lining, topped by three different layers of tulle and lace. The first layer is of plain tulle, then a white floral lace, with a final third layer of lace that has been embroidered in silver and gold.
It was a dream to wear and I look foward to another bride celebrating in it!
The dress was purchased, fitted, and then later cleaned all at L'Elite Bridal in Boston, Massachusetts.
- Alterations: The dress originally had very thin white satin cord straps. These were removed, but could be easily replaced. The original fit of the size 8 dress was so close to my own measurements that it required almost no alteration. The only alterations done to the fit of the dress were in hemming the netting and lining of the dress. A traditional bustle was also added to the dress for the dancing, etc.
- Preservation Method: The dress was taken to L'Elite for cleaning and preservation the day after the wedding. It has not been out of the box since it returned from preservation.

One summer morning, July 2013, a young mother is walking her baby girl in a stroller down a New Jersey street. At the same time, a bus driver, driving his usual route, is talking on his cell phone. Distracted by the conversation, he loses control of his bus, which careens into a lamp post, causing the light to fall down onto the stroller and crush the baby to death. Bystanders say the mother's screams could be heard 21 stories above the accident.
Could you have been this driver? Do you take your eyes off the road to text, talk on the phone or with passengers, eat, attend to your child, etc.? Did you know that taking your eyes off the road for just 4 seconds, the time it takes to answer your phone or change a radio station, means you've driven the length of a football field with your eyes off your driving? How much damage can you do with your car in the length of a football field?
According to the website of Pittsburgh's most recognizable injury lawyers, Edgar Snyder & Associates, a driver becomes 23 times more likely to have an accident if texting while driving. In fact, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that texting while driving kills 11 teens every day in the United States. And, if you're thinking that being young means your reflexes will stop you from having an accident, statistics show that simply talking on a cell phone while driving can slow a teenager's reaction time down to that of a 70-year-old!
Pennsylvania's ban on texting while driving, which went into effect March of 2012, carries with it a fine of $50 that, with fees, mounts up to roughly $135. Seems like small potatoes ... and it is. The fees mean nothing compared to the catastrophic effects distracted driving can have on lives, the lives that are lost and the lives that are left to pick up the pieces. According to PennDOT, more than 300 people statewide died in 2012 because of distracted drivers, nearly 1 every day.
So what can Pennsylvania drivers do to make roads safer for all? PennDOT recommends the following safety tips:
• Store your cell phone while driving, and make calls only after pulling off the road.
• If you're traveling alone, set your GPS, radio, etc., before you drive.
• If you must travel with pets, make sure they are properly restrained.
• Never attend to your child while you are driving.
• Wait until you reach your destination to pick up an object you dropped.
In the provocative 2004 film, The Machinist, lead character Trevor Reznik has not slept for a year, resulting in serious health problems and hallucinations. The reason for his insomnia (spoiler) is finally revealed: One year prior, after momentarily taking his eyes off the road, Reznik hit and killed a young boy, and he has been denying to himself this tragedy ever since, causing his life to spiral out of control. How long did Trevor Reznik take his eyes off the road? Just long enough to pull out his cigarette lighter, which takes even less time than texting or answering a cell phone. It is not possible to know how long the character would ultimately spend in prison for killing this boy, but one thing's for sure: He will never forget that moment when lighting his cigarette became more important than a boy's life.
So, what will be your 'cigarette lighter'? A text about what you're doing Friday night? A cell phone call that could have waited a couple minutes until you could safely pull over to return it? A quick refreshment of your lipstick? Truly, as cautionary tales go, the story of Trevor Reznik is one that smacks you in the face. Of course, better to be smacked in the face by a movie ... than a windshield.
April 2014 will be National Distracted Driving Awareness Month. Let's take this time to work together and make our roads safer than ever.

K2, or "Spice," is making news again as eleven states have now banned the substance or are currently considering bans. K2, which can be acquired online or at certain convenience stores and head shops, is generally marketed as incense. However, the herb contains a synthetic chemical that is said to mimic "a marijuana high when it's smoked."
According to reports, K2 is most popular among teenagers and college students – particularly because the herbs are easily attainable and offer a legal marijuana-like high. However, USA Today reports that cases of sickened K2 users have recently increased. 352 cases in 35 states have been reported since the first week of February.
While the DEA is still "in the early stages of trying to figure out how potent [K2] is," one Illinois Representative insists, "It can be more potent than marijuana" and believes K2 could lead to an "epidemic."
While such assertions seem premature – and even comical – many states are now taking it upon themselves to ban the substance. Kansas and Kentucky already have bans in place and Alabama's K2 ban goes into effect the first of July. Meanwhile, Georgia, Missouri and Tennessee await their governors' approval for bans to become law and Illinois, Louisiana, Michigan, New Jersey and New York are considering legislation to ban the substance.

If there's one thing we learned about "Under The Dome," it's that there is always a new mystery taking place- as each character has their own backstory. Before Chester's Mill was covered by a mysterious dome, there were people who lived normal lives, and there were others who had a troubled past, whether it be drug smuggling, or murder. The bottom line is that the characters and the Dome seem to be related. We just don't know how yet.
Big Jim still has a change of heart and continues to lead the town of Chester's Mill. However when the town starts to rain blood there are a set of circumstances that come into question. Several characters face decisions that could impact the residents that still occupy Chester's Mill. As a result the consequences facing could be extremely dire.
"Force Majeure" was full of surprises which could lead up some interesting details on Angie's killer, why Junior's mother is still alive, and how Lyle fits into this scenario. It is certain that there are plenty of questions that still need to be answered.
This episode had plenty going on, from the blood rain storm that seemed to be acidic, to Lyly kidnapping Rebecca. What is interesting about this season thus far is how the three new characters, Rebecca, Sam and the girl who does not remember who she is, seem to be a threat to Chester's Mill. They each appear to have secrets that could have serious repercussions in the future.
There were several character plots that were discovered which could make the remainder of this season intense. While the audience continues to figure out more of what the Dome is capable of and what its purpose is, they also discover how these new characters fit the unsolved puzzles and mysteries that the dome continues unleash. It should be a crazy ride of wild mysteries throughout. There are still many questions that need to be answered, will we find out who really killed Angie, what is Sam really up to, what is Rebecca, Lyle, and the Mysterious girls backstory? Only time will tell. For now, Chester's Mill is in a heap of trouble, as well as the people who are trapped inside.

College Hockey:Levine stops 34 as Robert Morris blanks RIT
PITTSBURGH, Pa. — If there were any questions about the Robert Morris Colonials and their state of mind coming off their lopsided 8-1 loss to Mercyhurst on Tuesday evening, they were answered tonight at the 84 Lumber Arena with a focused and determined effort against the visiting RIT Tigers.
Starting Colonials netminder Eric Levine recorded his fourth shutout of the season in a 3-0 victory, a win which saw the Colonials get better as the game went on.
"I thought we started out slow tonight, and that's to be expected playing this many games in this stretch that we're in," said Colonials coach Derek Schooley. "But, I thought in the second and third, our want level was off the charts. We wanted to win the battles, we wanted to win the races, and we did that. That was a really good effort tonight, a real big bounce back after the disappointing Mercyhurst game. Eric Levine was very focused tonight."
Early on, the Tigers looked like the more eager side though, as Levine was tested with quality scoring chances from every angle. The Tigers kept the Colonials hemmed in their own end for large stretches of the first 10 minutes, peppering Levine with 16 first period shots.
At 12:33, Levine kept the Tigers from opening the scoring with a brilliant glove save on forward Mike Colavecchia, who sent a hard shot from between the top of the circles that seemed destined for the back of the net. After the save, the Colonials played one shift at a time for the remainder of the first frame, getting a few chances of their own which Tigers goaltender Jordan Ruby turned aside, including a point-blank stop from in front on Jeff Jones.
The scoring opened at 7:37 of the second period when defenseman Evan Moore found a Tigers clearing attempt just inside the blue line which he passed to forward Cody Wydo, who was all alone in the slot. Wydo used a few dekes and finished for his team-leading 13th goal of the season to put the Colonials in the lead.
After Tigers forward Ben Lynch was given a five-minute major for contact to the head and a game misconduct at 9:41 of the second, the Colonials found themselves with a chance to widen the gap on the scoreboard, but the ensuing power play had a hard time setting up in the RIT end, and when it did get some chances through to the net, Ruby came up with huge saves.
Ultimately, the Colonials power play failed to produce any additional breathing room. Many times, one team kills off a major penalty and suddenly has new life, but the Tigers failed to produce any kind of consistent pressure following their penalty kill and Robert Morris ended up with a 22-6 edge in shots for the period.
At times during the season, Robert Morris had let frustration get the better of them. With all the focus, hard work, and loose puck battle wins, the Colonials still found themselves only up 1-0. However, instead of allowing a momentary lapse take away from the effort, Robert Morris played as if it were bent on scoring the next goal. That marker arrived at 14:34 of the third when freshman David Friedman bolted down the left wing boards on an odd-man break and sent a rising snap shot over Ruby's blocker on the short side to double the Colonials lead.
The Tigers got one last golden opportunity to climb back into the contest when they found themselves recipients of a five-on-three power play with just 3:38 to go, but the Colonials kept the Tigers to the perimeter, and when they did get a chance though to the net, Levine made the saves.
"We had a really good first period, but then we just totally relaxed," RIT coach Wayne Wilson said. "Our second period is what did us in here tonight. I don't know if we thought it was going to be easy or what, but we really put ourselves behind the eight ball with that second. We got really solid goaltending from Ruby, but we didn't work hard enough to get any goals. I was really disappointed in our concentration level tonight."
The two teams finish their weekend set Saturday night at 7:05.

The athlete will be assessed by a panel of four experts for up to 30 days after a doctor diagnosed him with an anxiety disorder.
13:31, UK, Monday 26 May 2014
Oscar Pistorius has arrived at a psychiatric hospital for the first day of a month of tests ordered by the judge presiding over his murder trial.
A car with the Paralympic star in it sped past a scrum of waiting television cameras and into Pretoria's Weskoppies psychiatric hospital behind a police van.
A heavy police presence kept journalists from entering the grounds of the hospital, one of South Africa's foremost mental institutions.
Pistorius denies murdering his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp and claims he mistook her for an intruder.
Judge Thokozile Masipa ordered Pistorius be observed by a panel of four experts for up to 30 days after a psychiatrist said in evidence that the athlete had an anxiety disorder that could have contributed to the shooting.
Forensic psychiatrist Merryll Vorster diagnosed Pistorius with generalised anxiety disorder after interviewing him twice.
Dr Vorster added Pistorius had a long-held fear of crime and felt vulnerable as an amputee.
Pistorius will return home each day after being evaluated as an outpatient.
He has to arrive by 9am each day and is free on bail.
The athlete's trial has been postponed until June 30.

One-hundred and three years ago, on May 23, 1911, President William Howard Taft dedicated the New York Public Library, the largest marble structure in the nation. Located at Fifth Avenue between 40th and 42nd Streets in Manhattan, it cost $9 million and took 14 years to build.
It was the culmination of more than a half-century of effort. Sixteen years earlier to the day, on May 23, 1895, representatives of two libraries agreed to create the new library, hailed as private philanthropy for the public good.
Earlier, John Jacob Astor had placed a codicil in his will that left $400,000 for the creation of a public library, and Astor Library was built in the East Village in 1854. It was a free, reference library and its books did not circulate.
By 1872, the Astor Library was a major reference and research resource, but was lacking in the essentials of a public library. The New York State Legislature incorporated the Lenox Library in 1870, and it was built at Fifth Avenue and 70th Street in 1877.
Philanthropist James Lenox donated his manuscripts and rare books, including the first Gutenberg Bible in the New World. This library charged admission and did not permit physical access to its collection.
Former NY Governor Samuel Tilden felt that a new library was needed, so upon his death in 1886 he bequeathed $2.4 million to establish and maintain a free library and reading room in the City of New York.
The newly established library consolidated with the New York Free Circulating Library in 1901, when steel baron Andrew Carnegie donated $5.2 million to build 65 branch libraries, with the requirement that they be maintained by the city.
Later that year, Carnegie transferred his donation to the city to allow it to purchase the land to house the libraries. The Brooklyn and Queens branches did not join the NYPL system because they felt they would not be treated equally with the Manhattan and Bronx branches.
The NYPL board of trustees hired consultants and accepted their idea that only a few architectural firms be hired to build the Carnegie libraries to ensure uniformity of appearance. McKim, Mead & White; Carrère and Hastings, and Walter Cook designed the branch libraries.
Today, the NYPL has 53 million items and is the nation's second-largest public library, behind the Library of Congress. It is an independently managed, nonprofit corporation that operates with private and public financing, and is visited and used by 10 million people annually.

Emergency fund
An emergency fund is self-funded insurance for an unplanned loss of income.
Expanded Definition
Also known as an eFund, an emergency fund usually consists of cash reserves valued at 3-6 months of basic living expenses. Like insurance, you don't touch it until you need it, such as after a loss of job or a new/sudden disability that renders you unable to work for substantial-enough pay to meet your current needs. Note that "basic living expenses" are usually considered to consist of the minimum needed to pay for the essential monthly bills -- including mortgage or rent, auto payments, consumer-debt minimum payments, utilities and food.
Since an Emergency Fund is pretty much intended to sit idle until you need it, many Fools stash it in a high yield money market account at a banking institution of their choice. (If you are interested in opening such an account, you may be able to get a referral from another Fool through which you both may get a bonus interest payment.)
Many folks do not have enough cash to immediately fund an Emergency Fund, so they establish a savings goal and make regular monthly payments. In addition to establishing a savings goal for an Emergency Fund, some Fools establish other savings goals, such as household funds, vacation funds, auto funds, home downpayment funds, engagement funds, etc.
While some may treat an emergency fund as more of a household fund or petty cash fund -- dipping into it for short-term unexpected expenses -- a classic emergency fund is never touched until that "rainy day" comes, complete with drenching floods. The danger with using an emergency fund for short-term expense "loans" is that you may not be as diligent at paying yourself back once the expense has been covered. Then, when the true rainy day arrives, you are left with nothing but a torn and broken umbrella with which to battle the onslaught.
One size does not fit all in the emergency fund area. You need to adapt it to your particular situation. What kinds of events are most likely to come up, what costs are likely, and how will you deal with them?
Examples: Your car breaks down. A family member is ill and you must make a quick trip to see them. Your television is stolen. Your apartment is flooded. You break your leg and can't work for months. etc etc
If you have equity assets, usually you can arrange to cover things given a bit of time, but you need something to cover that first month or so. A credit card can be enough in some circumstances. Some use bond funds. Many have check writing that let you simply write a check when you need cash. The funds earn interest until the check clears. Carrying a balance in an interest bearing checking account or in a passbook saving account or money market account used to be recommended, but with interest rates so low, those choices are almost painful.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Here's the 411: Vitamin B-6 gets overshadowed by it's "big brother" B-12 all the time. B-12 gives you lots of wonderful things, but B-6 can help you not only lose weight, but can also lessen PMS, cramps and mood swings! Never take more than your doctor suggests, which is 50 or 100mg a day and you will get all the benefits without any of those crazy fast paced disclaimers at the end of every commercial these days.

In a day and age when weight loss is supposed to be every woman's ultimate goal, it can be hard to find safe ways of achieving it! If you care as much about the inside of your body as you do the outside, then give B-6 a try. Will is make up for a bad diet? No. Will it take a walk or weight lift for you? Sorry. Will it boost any efforts you do make and give your body a kick in the right direction? YES!!! Give it a shot, there is literally nothing to lose…except inches.

TC TO JAMES CARLYLE ; 7 March 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410307-TC-JC-01; CL 13: 51-52
Chelsea, 7 March / 1841—
Dear Jamie,
Your Letter has lain more weeks unanswered than I intended. I will write you a little Note today; for indeed there has been less heard of us at Scotsbrig for a while back than is usual. About ten days ago I got my Proofsheets all done; tho' I do not know that the Books are yet out,—a great many things require to be done before all is ready. Probably they will come out this very day.1 Some copies of them will try to reach Ecclefechan and the kindred there, about the beginning of April I hope.— I have sent a copy in Sheets to America; where, I suppose, they will print an edition for themselves. Jack got a copy in sheets too; not without trouble on my part: and guess only whither he sent it! Not to my Mother; not to any of you,—but to Glen at Carstammon!2 I have laughed several times, to consider it: A place where one man only could by any chance see it, and that man not in his wits! He is a wonderful fellow, our Doctor, in some of his notions.
One of my projects was to get down to Ryde and see the Doctor; I wanted much to see the country at the same time. I have not gone yet, and so do not know whether I shall now go. Just as my sheets were ending I was taken ill with an Influenza which all the world has here. It is like an ugly kind of cold; weakness, aching bones, loss of appetite &c. There is no danger attending it; but it is a very irksome disorder, and keeps you lame on the place. I did not venture out at all for some days. I have not gone up to Town even yet; I get across the Bridge3 into a kind of resemblance of country. The disease is gone now; but a considerable weakness is only yet going. I rather consider it will do me real good, were it once gone: for I have had a dull ugly kind of peculiar biliousness hanging about me for a long time. What is worst, poor Jane, just as I was getting better, fell ill of the same business; and has been keeping her bed these two days. Hers takes the shape of a sore throat: she is not very ill; I have seen her far worse every winter since we came here. She too will be clearer and better most probably were this thing once away.
The bright weather makes me think of the summer that is coming: I have a very great desire indeed to get out of this place, and pass the whole Summer among the green grass! If Jane did not like Puttock still worse than I do, I think I could run even thither. But one might get a house somewhere else. Are there no houses (something like Puttoch, with a park attached) within ten miles of you? I wish you would really send us word. I am decided to consider about it. What is Newington Lodge at Annan? What is the rent of it; the nature of it?— I am not entirely without cash; and cash, I imagine, can do little that were more grateful or more useful than get me into the free air and silence for a while. I often feel as if it would be useful for me to quit London altogether; and make my headquarters in the country, only visiting this frightful tumult when I had real business there.
Will you give these two Letters (two in one) to my Mother. Isabella will read them to her; they will be entertaining for a moment. I am to write to my Mother myself very shortly. Jack sent me word as from Jenny at Kirtlebridge that all was in the usual way at Scotsbrig. I have had a letter from Jean too; she had been complaining since her confinement; but professed to be well again.
You and Alick may consult about this of the House in Annandale! Tell me whether there is any thing eligible; or what things there are. I do not think I will stay here thro' the summer; and I am about as free to go to one place as another.
Give my love to them all; beginning with my dear Mother, ending with little Tom. Jane will send you her goodwishes next time, she hopes, not from bed. Good be with you all, good souls!
Yours, dear Brother, / Always truly / T. Carlyle

Drake and Tyra Banks "New Couple"?
"NEW COUPLE ALERT! Drake & Tyra Banks Go On A Date At Disneyland," reads a headline from our friends at Global Grind, which goes on to say the singer is "working his rap magic on former supermodel Tyra Banks!"
According to the usually reliable site, the two stars "were spotted at Disneyland hanging out and flirting with each other while bouncing between rollercoasters and kiddie rides."
Global Grind goes on to report that Drake and Banks "tried to keep their cute date on the down low with disguises and hats," noting, "Drake even went as far as to put a fake mustache on while riding the rollercoaster with Tyra. Too bad it didn't work."
"Drake has said he loves older women," writes the site, adding, "but he's taking his love to the next level with a cougar like Tyra."
Here's what's right: Drake and Tyra were both at Disneyland, and he carries around disguises so that he can go out in public without being bothered.
Here's what's wrong: The two were NOT on a date, and they are NOT a "new couple."
Gossip Cop is told by a Tyra insider that she and Drake actually ran into each other by accident at Disneyland — and hung out — but they hardly even know one another.

Liberal's home court winning streak drips with irony. Two years ago, Dodge City beat Liberal 53-32 on January 29, 2008. Liberal began what would turn into a two year home court winning streak with an upset win over Great Bend. Tuesday, 10th ranked Dodge City snapped Liberal's 19 game home court winning streak with a 51-34 win over Liberal. The Lady Skins next opponent is none other than Great Bend. Upset minded Liberal jumped to a 9-4 lead after one quarter only to see the Lady Demons (10-3, 3-0) lead 19-14 at halftime. Liberal cut the lead to eight at the end of three quarters (31-23). Liberal tried to press in the fourth quarter to break through but LHS head coach Shane Stout says that didn't work. "We're down six or eight with five minutes to go and it's like we could sit here and lose this game by six or eight or we could try to cause some full court havoc," Stout said. "Obviously they picked us apart when we tried to do that." Stout said his scouting report indicated pressing Dodge City guard Valerie Ortiz and Brenna Briggs might not be a good idea, but his team needed anything but the statis quo to get over the hump. Liberal is 8-5 overall and 1-2 in the WAC. The Lady Skins host Great Bend Friday at 6 PM on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net. The Lady Skins will be featured during the Rowdy Crowd Show Thursday night at 5:30 PM on Talkradio 1270 and kscbnews.net.
