ISSUES OF SEX, GENDER, AND RACE have come to the fore during this election cycle. The presidential candidate of one of the major parties has built a campaign around hypermasculinity and white identity, while battles over racial profiling and police violence, immigration, transgender rights, and abortion have raised the stakes for both parties. Wherever the campaigns are in late September, Penn DCC has invited four astute commentators and scholars to help trace the complicated, and in many ways unprecendented, roles that sex, gender, and race have played in the politics of 2016.

Osbourn Park junior forward Lewin Artiga scored three goals in a season-opening 3-1 win over Osbourn on Friday night in Manassas, but it was the body control leading up to the second tally in particular that impressed Yellow Jackets Coach Larry Nemerow the most.
Artiga streaked down the far sideline on the play early in the second half, and at about 15 yards out, he was met near the top of the box by Osbourn's goaltender, who was also running full speed. That's when Artiga pulled up and flipped the ball over the goalie, while still on the run. He was mugged by his teammates after the score, and Osbourn Park seemed to pick up right where it left off after last season's 17-2 season and AAA Cardinal District title.
"That was a pretty impressive play," Nemerow said. "He's dangerous."
Nemerow, now in his 22nd year at the helm, sat Artiga shortly after his first goal in the middle of the first half Friday, and rotated him back in a few minutes later. He used 21 field players during the game, and by the end of the night, only two of his starters remained on the field.
"We believe that if you want to have a deeper bench at the end of the season, you have to take the chance on playing those guys early," said Nemerow, who was voted as coach of the year by the Post last season. "The aggressive part was there. I'd like to become a little bit more aggressive in some situations."
Osbourn Park (1-0) returns five seniors, including George Mason bound Nick Bourbonnais, who recorded an assist in the win against Osbourn on Friday. Bourbonnais, who missed the first 13 games last season due to injury, is joined up front by senior Rashid Mahdi and the junior Artiga, who combined for 17 goals and seven assists last season and are both college prospects, Nemerow said.
Forest Park, Woodbridge and Gar-Field all figure to be formidable league competition for Osbourn Park this season, and the Yellow Jackets have to replace 14 graduated seniors. That includes first team All-Met selections in defender Ryan Flesch (William & Mary) and goalkeeper Michael Butts (George Mason), as well as Bryan Darby (Radford) and TJ Guerra (Lynchburg).
But that wasn't the backdrop of Friday night's opener. Nemerow is still sorting the pieces with a new team, but a commanding win to kick off the spring was a promising sign for a team that has reloaded with plenty of talented players.
"Those three kids (Bourbonnais, Mahdi, Artiga), any one of them is capable of having a game when they score multiple goals," Nemerow said, "if we're playing well."

We ended up not only Buying a Mattress for our Daughter but we also bought a King bed fram and Night stand for ourselves. We would have purchased the complete bedroom set, but it was not in stock foe at least 2 to 3 weeks. The prices for the quality were excellent so this is why we bought them.
We confirmed with the Mattress Firm saleman if the delivery team could set up our headboard on our daughters bed that we had bought elsewhere on sale. The salesman asked why we could not do it ourselves and we explained that I had just gone through surgery and I am not allowed to do any bending twisting or lifting for 5 months.
The salesman stated that they could arrange for the delivery team to set up the twin headboard only if it was brand new with all the hardware and had never been used before. We explained to him that the twin headboard was brand new with all the hardware and had neverm been used or set up before. The salesman agreed to the set up of the twin headboard.
When we took delivery the delivery crew stated they could not set it up as it would be a liability to the store and to the delivery crew if they set up a product that was not purchased at Mattress Firm. I called the store and the salesman who answered stated there was nothing he could do for us and the crew could not set up the headboard.
The crew also broke part of our King bed frame and when I called to schedule the swap out they could not swap the piece until Thursday night or Friday morning. This is a problem as we had plans to go and visitr Houston for our childrens spring break. They again stated well if you can not be there on the available dates they could not help.
I then asked if we could sleep on the bed and they stated no do to no support on the one broken slat. I asked them where I was supposed to sleep as I had just had surgery and can not sleep on the floor.
They finally agreed to swap the broken king bed parts on Friday night so I could sleep, but still will not honor the Twin Head board set up that the salesman had agreed upon. I believe this salesman took advatage of my post surgery situation to make his sale, by lying about the crew being able to set up the headboard even though it is against company policy to set up furniture not purchased through the company.

Hi, my name is Alan Son. I have been making websites with WordPress for about 4 years. My Company Hyperstream provides a variety of Digital Media services and we are about to redesign our website.
Any feedback or ideas would be welcome.
Arrrrrgghhhh! A pop-up window?! Unforgiveable. Don't force people to give you feedback. It's annoying.
Noticed that the site was a bit slow. Looked at your site's source code and found this:
<!-- WP Super Cache is installed but broken. The path to wp-cache-phase1.php in wp-content/advanced-cache.php must be fixed! -->
Seems like WP Super Cache isn't working properly. Once it's running properly, the load time will probably be cut in half.
Hope that helps! (Get rid of that pop up!)
It looks good until that pop up bugs you, especially when you haven't had much of a chance to view the site before giving feedback.
I got rid of the feedback popup window.
Thank you for your comments.
If you ever need me to return the favour you can find me at http://www.hyperstream.co.uk/blog or right here on the forum.

Summaries for ACSL5 Gene
The protein encoded by this gene is an isozyme of the long-chain fatty-acid-coenzyme A ligase family. Although differing in substrate specificity, subcellular localization, and tissue distribution, all isozymes of this family convert free long-chain fatty acids into fatty acyl-CoA esters, and thereby play a key role in lipid biosynthesis and fatty acid degradation. This isozyme is highly expressed in uterus and spleen, and in trace amounts in normal brain, but has markedly increased levels in malignant gliomas. This gene functions in mediating fatty acid-induced glioma cell growth. Three transcript variants encoding two different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
GeneCards Summary for ACSL5 Gene
ACSL5 (Acyl-CoA Synthetase Long-Chain Family Member 5) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with ACSL5 include chronic intestinal vascular insufficiency and glioma. Among its related pathways are Metabolism and Regulation of lipid metabolism by Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha (PPARalpha). GO annotations related to this gene include long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. An important paralog of this gene is ACSBG2.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for ACSL5 Gene
Acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSL) activate long-chain fatty acids for both synthesis of cellular lipids, and degradation via beta-oxidation. ACSL5 may activate fatty acids from exogenous sources for the synthesis of triacylglycerol destined for intracellular storage (By similarity). Utilizes a wide range of saturated fatty acids with a preference for C16-C18 unsaturated fatty acids (By similarity). It was suggested that it may also stimulate fatty acid oxidation (By similarity). At the villus tip of the crypt-villus axis of the small intestine may sensitize epithelial cells to apoptosis specifically triggered by the death ligand TRAIL. May have a role in the survival of glioma cells.

text: Hotel Bela Vista situated on the beach of Praia da Rocha was built in the 19th Century as a stately home. It has direct access to the sandy beach and is 800 metres from the new Marina of Portimao and within easy reach of many tourist attractions. Surrounded by the active life of Praia da Rocha it is an oasis of calm encircled by its own gardens. Totally in keeping with the glamour of the turn of the century the hotel maintains much of its original decor. In some rooms and common areas there are 17th and 18th century tiles and ceilings of precious Brazilian wood worked and painted by Pereira Cao. The tiles within the hotel tell the history of the golden age of the Portuguese Discoveries. There are quotations from "Os Lusiadas" (an epic work of the great Portuguese poet Luis Vaz de Camoes) and of the Arab occupation of the Iberian Peninsula. Built as the private residence of a wealthy family Magalhaes Barros it was later leased to a cousin Henrique Bivar de Vasconcelos who transformed it into an hotel in the 1930s at a time when the first tourists discovered the Algarve arriving at Praia da Rocha by boat. Hotel Bela Vista has 14 bedrooms and 2 suites. They all have an en suite bathroom television telephone radio and mini-bar.

St. J fire victim hopes to rebuildJanuary 06,2013St. J fire victim
hopes to rebuild
ST. JOHNSBURY The owner of a historic St. Johnsbury building severely damaged by fire last month wants to rebuild.
Owner Bruno Ravel is still too upset about the fire to talk to reporters. But he has been talking with historic preservationists, real estate developers and the local Chamber of Commerce about how to rebuild despite having no insurance, Vermont Public Radio reports.
Scott Beck, the chambers executive director, owns a bookstore in a neighboring building that was rebuilt after a fire in 2000. He knows how much work it will take just to stabilize the building.
The third floor is mostly gone, part of the roof is gone and part of the façade, he said of the fire on Railroad Street. So theyve got their work ahead of them, for sure.
One preservationist estimates the building will cost $1 million to rebuild.
Fires have burned parts of downtown St. Johnsbury in 2000, 2003 and in 2008.
