What Has Methylation Done For You Lately?
Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in the phenotype of a cell or an organism that are not encoded by the genome (hence epi which means 'above' in Greek, and genetikos which means 'origin').
In this article, we'll discuss DNA methylation, a common epigenetic modification: both what it is, and how it can be detected and quantified.
What are epigenetic modifications?
Our genome stores information in the form of DNA molecules. Most of us are familiar with the genomic architecture, which consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which are then packaged into highly condensed chromatin. Our genome sequence remains generally constant, with the exception of genetic mutations that can lead to deleterious results such as cancer. Epigenetic changes, however, which are not encoded in the DNA sequence, are reversible and dynamic, and are also heritable. These epigenetic modifications reflect adaptations to our environment, life-style, diet, and other external factors. Thus, the mammalian genome can be modified at either the chromatin or the DNA level.
What is DNA methylation?
DNA consists of four nucleotide building blocks: cytosine, guanine, adenine, and thymine. Cytosine residues can undergo an epigenetic modification called methylation, catalyzed by the enzyme DNA methyltransferase, that results in the addition of a methyl group to the carbon-5 position, yielding 5-methylcytosine (5-mC). Additionally, 5-mC can be enzymatically oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC) by the TET1/2/3 enzymes. These DNA methylation events are thought to regulate gene expression, and there is increasing evidence that these modifications are linked to embryonic stem cell function, development, normal tissue function, and disease progression. However, 5-hmC and 5-mC are believed to have different functional roles in the mammalian genome, and it is possible that these changes may represent early epigenetic biomarkers for different pathogeneses.
How can you detect and quantify DNA methylation?
In our recent webinar on Bitesize Bio, Dr. Sriharsa Pradham of New England Biolabs discussed various techniques for detecting 5-hmC and 5-mC modifications, both globally and within specific sequences. Dr. Pradham presented a very robust and easy-to-use protocol that employs the EpiMark 5-hmC and 5-mC analysis kit.
How it works
- Glucosylation. Genomic DNA contains a mixture of unmethylated, 5-methylated, and 5-hydroxymethylated cytosine residues. In order to distinguish between these individual states, the DNA sample is first treated with UDP-glucose and T4 phage beta glucosyltransferase enzyme (T4 BGT), which adds glucose to the hydroxymethyl site. This converts all of the 5-hmC residues to 5-glucosyl-mC (5-hmC), while the 5-mC sites remain intact. Your negative control is set up in the absence of T4 BGT, thus leaving all 5-mC sites unmodified.
- Methylation-sensitive restriction digestion. During the first step, we glucosylated all 5-hmC sites to 5-ghmC sites using T4 BGT and UDP-glucose, converting all cleavable 5-hmC locations to non-cleavable 5-ghmC sites. Next up, the DNA is divided into fractions, and each fraction is digested with a methylation-sensitive restriction enzyme. The way this works is by using two restriction enzymes, MspI and HsaII, that recognize the same restriction site (CCGG) but have differential methylation sensitivity. These enzymes are used because their specificity and ability to cleave DNA can be altered when cytosine in the recognition site is modified. For example, MspI cleaves 5-hmC, 5-mC, and unmethylated cytosine but is blocked by 5-ghmC. HpaII can only cleave unmethylated C residues. Thus, in the samples treated with BGT, MspI will cleave all methylated sites but not glycosylated-hydroxymethylated sites. In contrast, HpaII will only cut unmethylated sites because cleavage is blocked by 5-hmC, 5-mC, and 5-ghmC modifications. By comparing the amount of DNA cleaved by either one of these enzymes, then, you can identify the total methylated or hydroxymethylated content of your DNA sample (uncut control DNA is used to identify total amount of DNA present).
- Detection by PCR. Finally, you can use end-point or real-time PCR to determine and quantitate the amount of 5-mC and 5-hmC across different tissues, states, or genomes. To do this, you use PCR primers flanking a CCGG site of interest (and amplifying a fragment of about 100–200 bp). If the site is unmethylated, then your template DNA will be digested by HpaII and you will not amplify any product. However, if the CpG site contains 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, your target template will not be cleaved, allowing amplification of your gene of interest. End-point PCR can be used to determine which sample is enriched for the 5-hydroxymethylcytosine modification. Following restriction digestion with MspI and HpaII and end-point PCR, you should see a band representing the amplified gene of interest in the samples enriched for 5-hmC, where restriction cleavage was blocked by glucosylation of 5-hmC (MspI). To get the exact percentage of 5-hmC and 5-mC present across different samples for the gene of interest, quantitative Real-Time PCR is used.
The power of this approach is that it can determine enrichment for specific methylation modifications locally and on a genome-wide level. For instance, you could determine global 5-hmC levels in normal vs. cancer samples, possibly identifying epigenetic biomarkers for a particular cancer.
How could you use this technology in your reseaarch?

Gain Control: The Tet-On/Tet-Off Inducible Expression System
While overexpressing a gene of interest can provide a look into its role in a cell, sometimes it is necessary to control the expression of a gene. You may want to dictate the timing of the protein's expression or lower its expression level to adequately understand its function. This is particularly relevant when studying genes that […]

The Archdiocese of Newark has introduced a short video highlighting the significance of the Church's meaningful funeral rituals to guide our Catholic community. The six minute video, titled "Many Travelers, One Journey," weaves together the stories of multiple individuals describing how family, friends and the Church community come together to pray and comfort each other, celebrate the faith and life of their loved one, and share in the three principal parts of the Catholic funeral liturgy - the Vigil, Funeral Mass and Committal Service - known as the Order of Christian Funerals.
Produced by Catholic Cemeteries, a ministry of the Archdiocese of Newark, the video accompanies a comprehensive planning guide, titled "Continuing the Journey, Preparing a Catholic Funeral," to assist Catholics during their time of loss or when pre-planning. All the above is available online at www.rcancem.org/ocf
For well over a century, the Catholic Church in NJ has provided adoption services. Throughout all those years, the Church promised to honor the privacy of birth parents and adoptees. That promise of privacy also was assured by law and affirmed by the State Superior Court. Those promises can no longer be kept. On May 27, 2014, a new law took effect that will allow adoptees and certain relatives to request and obtain the names of their biological parents beginning January 1, 2017.
Any birth parents who wish to preserve their privacy must submit a Redaction Request Form to NJ Dept. of Health no later than December 31, 2016. By filing this form, birth parents will be able to keep their names off any documents provided by the State to adoptees or anyone else. The form can be downloaded at http://nj.gov/health/forsm/reg-36c.pdf
If you know a person who placed a child in adoption, please tell them that if they do not file a Redaction Request Form, their name and other information could be given to the adoptee. Anyone needing assistance can call a HELPLINE at 609-989-4809.

LifeNet is working together with pro-life groups throughout NJ and surrounding areas to achieve equal rights for babies in the womb. To that end, we all know all our efforts to save unborn children from abortion must be strengthened by prayer.
A goal was set by LifeNet to have 2,400 Masses offered for the "Protection of unborn babies and their mothers" by December 31, 2016. This is a very doable and powerful project. To accomplish this project, one can simply visit our church office, or call us at 973-239-5696, and request Masses be offered for the "Protection of unborn babies and their mothers."
The traditional Mass offering to the church is $10 per Mass. It is optimal the Masses be offered on Sundays to be heard by the most parishioners, however, any Mass is wonderful!! Please consider making a mass offering for these babies and their mothers.
In Service to One. In Service to All.

Skip to comments.Man uses obscure law to claim ownership of $300k home in upscale Texas town... for just $16
Posted on 07/20/2011 2:37:43 PM PDT by Mountain Bike Vomit Carnage
If someone you knew claimed to have bought a new house for $16, you'd probably expect it to be a rundown hovel.
But for Kenneth Robinson, that princely sum could see him as the new owner of a $300,000 home in an well-manicured part of Flower Mound, Texas.
On June 17, Mr Robinson took advantage of a little known Texas law to move into the abandoned home.
The house had been in foreclosure for more than a year and its owner walked away. Then, the mortgage company went bust. Kenneth Robinson answers the front door at his $16 manse
Kenneth Robinson answers the front door at his $16 manse
After months of research, Mr Robinson used the obscure law 'adverse possession', filled out some paperwork costing just $16, and moved some of his belongings into the home.
Under the law, if someone moves into an abandoned home they have exclusive negotiating rights with the original owner.
If the owner wants them to leave, they have to pay off the mortgage debt on the home and the bank has to file a complicated lawsuit to get them evicted.
Mr Robinson believes that because of the cost required to move him out, he will be able to stay in the house. Under occupancy laws, if he remains there for three years he can ask the court for the title.
He told WFAA.com: 'I want to be owner of record. At this point, because I possess it, I am the owner.
'This is not a normal process, but it is not a process that is not known. It's just not known to everybody.'

Absolutely! How dare these "common people" have the brains to figure out this law.
TX state legislators are not in session - that means a few more people will be able to use this law to their advantage before the legislators can manage to change that law.
In northern California in the 1970`s, many houses were sliding down hillsides after heavy rains.
My friend`s brother had a house-moving company. Under the law if the owner evacuated the in-danger-of-sliding house and took belongings out, it was considered abandoned property.
The brother simply jacked up the house and moved to a lot he had already bought and sold it. It`s still legal, I think.
Adverse possession is neither obscure nor is this post...
That is a very wrong law if true.
If I move out of my house, it is considered abandoned and anyone can take it? Even though I am up-to-date on mortgage, taxes, etc? Hard to believe.
A lot of people move out of their homes prior to selling them.
Already posted here:
If he has legal possession he sould be able to get the utilities turned on.
What is the problem?
He figured out how to get "ahead" legally by grabbing a house that was owned previously by people who paid for it in blood and sweat most likely.Either he will turn it into a trash-heap or he won't.Otherwise the guy has got some Chutzpah,if the Law doesn't work out that way......he will get kicked out.
Which is fine.If the law is crap,change the law,you will never change those who take advantage of it.........
Bet he can't keep up with the upkeep.
I think it had to be sliding a little and the sheriff posted it as uninhabitable— then it was up for grabs-
Homes in Slide Area Must Be Abandoned / Daly City residents have until April 17March 30, 2000|By Angelica Pence, Chronicle Staff Writer
2000-03-30 04:00:00 PST DALY CITY — Residents of a Daly City neighborhood plagued by landslides were given less than three weeks to abandon their homes last night.
The city informed 21 homeowners on Westline Drive that residents have until April 17 to pack up and move out of their houses. The homes will be "red-tagged" tomorrow, meaning that they are deemed permanently uninhabitable.
"The city has no choice at this point," said City Manager John Martin. "These homes and these people are in imminent danger. We need to get this out."
We are all likely paying for this house. When that bank went belly-up a good percentage of its depositors would have been able to collect on one federal deposit insurance plan or another. As we all know Bailout-1 poured hundreds of billions into those funds. These kinds of properties should be auctioned and the proceeds applied to the balance sheet of the defunct bank, either reducing or reimbursing covered deposit claims made to the Federal Government.
I don't know a lot about real estate. That being said, if the owners left and it was in foreclosure AND the mortgage company went out of business then doesn't the house belong to no one?! Will this man pay the taxes on the house? Seems odd and strange!
Why didn't the original owners move back in?
Making easy money from someone else's misery - your brother sounds like he's an even bigger prick than my brother. I didn't think that was possible.
He has no running water! Where the Sam Hill does he crap? Or take a shower?
Obviously, not a very good law. And he didn't look all that smart so I bet he has "friends" like the aclu, black panthers and Al Queda looking up laws to pervert and take something for free that is NOT his. Welcome to the third world laws.
This is NOT a part of "Obamaworld" rather a very old English law in place called "adverse possession."
If you have a field, for example, next to my farm, and, I let my cattle onto your field, WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, but, you were in a position to know (ie. the cattle were there all the time, not secretly) AND you never objected, never showed up, and never walked across the field, never put up any sign or fence or repair or a change of any kind...then voila, over a set period of time set in law, the land legally can become mine. (I actually know of a field where this happened (not to me!), in pricey Loudoun County, Va.)
Most of the states (all except Louisiana?) have it, as it is very old law, inherited from English law, and a pretty good principle (not allowing functionally abandoned real-estate) for the public good. This is especially relevant to America, where most of the land ownership originally involved squatters of some kind...
This is also where we get the very old saying, "possession is 9/10s of the law..."
Just because the new owner/squatter is black, does NOT make this something of "Obamaworld."
I used to have a Real Estate license, and I recall first learning of this surprising law...and reacting against it. However when you really think about it, it's a good thing.
Yeah, wait until he gets his property tax bill....
Would it be because Louisiana has Civil Law as opposed to common law traditions being that it used to be owned by France?
This is Brilliant. If thats what the law says then by all means go for it.
Actually, good for him.
We have tons of abandoned property in the inner cities. If we permitted anyone to occupy them—and thereby gain owernship (provided they brought the property up to code), then we'd get all those properties back on the tax roles
and a lot of underclass families would gain a stake in their neighborhoods.
(similar to the Homestead act).
This is known as adverse possession ("Squatters Rights") and has been part of American Law ever since white people took land from the Indians. It's "obscure" only in the sense that it's like pluming regulations that are specialised and not part of most people's daily lives.
Part of the deal is that he will now need to maintain the house, including paying property taxes (from this point forward — not back taxes). Which, if the house has truely been abandoned, should be an improvement.
I don't get it. What if the original owner moved back in? Why can't he take advantage of this? He paid some of it, at least?
This sounds like the illegals' amnesty deal where they do not get to follow the laws we have to follow.
I smell an Obamaworld in this because in South Africa people come in when you are out grocery shopping and judges invariably side with blacks.
Who declares what abandoned property these days is very aleatorial.
"This is Brilliant. If thats what the law says then by all means go for it."
That's what I say. Leave the man alone. If it's the law, then he should be able to do it. Let the common people have access the same laws the rich fat cats do, for a change.
I saw a show once where the author of "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" was being interviewed. He was saying that we have to learn the way rich people do things. They pay lower taxes, and accumulate assets, etc. because they know the system works, and they know what the loop holes are.
I'd rather see common folks and families have these homes and keep them up than the corrupt banks have them. We bailed these criminal banks out with our tax money and they still want more.

I guess he could bring water into the house and use it to flush the toilets. I am thinking "sponge baths"? If this goes through for him, he has to live in it for three years and then he can apply for the title. People have done stranger things for a $300,000 dollar home for sixteen bucks.
Just cuz something's legal doesn't mean it's right.
He would have had to know the mortgage company went bankrupt.
I'm guessing they didn't keep in touch after he skipped out on the house notes.
If it doesn't have power or water, wouldn't it be considered uninhabitable?
I have thought about it... and it doesn't make much since to me
Yes it would per standards I once worked with. Harvard graduate with a sealed history besides being one of "my people"? How can he even leave and maintain squatter position #1?
It is an interesting situation but not much more.
"If you have a field, for example, next to my farm, and, I let my cattle onto your field, WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION, but, you were in a position to know (ie. the cattle were there all the time, not secretly) AND you never objected, never showed up, and never walked across the field, never put up any sign or fence or repair or a change of any kind...then voila, over a set period of time set in law, the land legally can become mine."
Yup. This is a real danger for landowners. People should be aware of this and not let their neighbors just sort of "gom onto" their land. My former neighbor wanted to pasture her horse on part of our unused land — which would have been fine — but when I drew up a simple contract designed to eliminate the possibility that she or her heirs could claim adverse possession sometime in the future, suddenly she didn't want to pasture her horse there anymore. Hmm . . . wonder why?
Strange days. We're pissed at a guy who follows the law, but not at the bankers who don't.
He has been evicted. I attended the hearing.
He was a no show, and who ever he had living there had moved out over the weekend.
He's moved on to another property just down the road in the adjacent town.
People who have attempted the same thing have been arrested and charged with trespassing in the next county over.
I don't know Texas law, but adverse posession does exist, but its a bit more complicated from my investigations, usually in requires living in the residence for an extended period of time and maintaining at as you owned it (paying taxes, upkeep etc) before you can successfully claim adverse posession.. but who knows.
Not suprised, while adverse posession laws exist, it usually requires the person claiming they possess the home to have lived there for an extended period, and engaged in maintenance and upkeep of the home, IE paid taxes etc etc..
Its usually not as simple as move in and file a form. Its more like find an abandoned home, move in, no one complains about it you live there for a certain amount of time, usually years, and maintain the home as your own, then you have the right to file for adverse posession process which includes proving that you have lived there, that the owner has abandoned the property and not attempted to remove you, etc etc.
They aren't bad laws, but they aren't as simple as filing a piece of paper and moving in.
IN PA for example to claim adverse posession, you have to have had continuous posession of the property for 20 years, and done so in an open, and not secretive manner, and have done so without the owners consent or permission. That's the requirements to take the title in adverse posession.. basically openly squat and care for a property for 20 years without the owner saying its ok, or evicting you and the property is yours.
The property owner has surfaced and told him to get out. The Judge agreed that BoA is the rightful owner and the squatter must leave.
Adverse possession laws are written to protect the property owner. They are given a long period to stake their claim and prove ownership.
It seems Mr Robinson didn't really understand the law, or thought the mortgage holder/owner would over look his presence for years? I have no idea what went through his head.
I'm just glad he is gone and didn't get title to the property.

A dead man floats to shore. Sounds like the beginning of a bad joke or a horror movie, but wait: it gets weirder. He's super tall, super good-looking, and all the local villagers get hearts in their eyes at the mere thought of him. He's still dead, though, so where does the story go from here?

Will Stelfox enhanced his claim for England selection with a starring performance for Lancashire as they broke a long-standing hoodoo by beating Cheshire in this year's Regional Challenge match.
The Manchester Waconians goalkeeper, who is hoping to play for his country at next year's World Championships in Canada, kept Cheshire at bay at Georges Road as Lancashire caused a real upset.
The Red Rose county had not beaten their rivals for a number of years, but triumphed 6-5 with Stelfox saving a staggering 23 shots.
Stelfox was England's substitute goalkeeper at the European Championships in Prague last summer, but rarely featured for the gold-medal winners with Ben McAllister, the Mellor goalkeeper, a preferred choice between the posts.
"In my opinion Will Stelfox is the best goalkeeper in the league (Men's North of England Premier Division)," said Phil Greenwood, the Manchester Waconians manager.
John Mountney, Tom Gosnay, Andy Pelletier, Paul Fullerton and Daniel Hodgson all scored for Cheshire.
Heaton Mersey have won the Women's Clubs and Colleges Tournament. The Oakley Villas side remained unbeaten in five matches to clinch honours on the Wirral.

UP: Govt employees continue stir against quota bill
Lucknow: Government employees in Uttar Pradesh continued their agitation against quota for SC/STs in promotions for the sixth day Tuesday.
"This bill is not in the favour of the nation and nearly 18 lakh employees are continuing on strike to oppose it," President of Sarvjan Hitay Sanrakshan Samiti Shailendra Dubey said.
He said that the decision taken in the Rajya Sabha was unfortunate and poses a danger to social harmony.
On the other hand the pro-reservation staff has decided to work for four extra hours every day.
"The Araskshan Bachao Sangharsh Samiti has decided that in case of strike it members would continue to work for extra four house," its convenor Awadhesh Verma said.
The Constitution amendment bill providing for quota in promotions for SCs and STs in government jobs was passed by the Rajya Sabha yesterday with an overwhelming support in which the Samajwadi Party was isolated.

Skinny Chicken Pot Pie, Italiano
It's one of my very favorite chicken pot pie recipes! It's not a typical pot pie recipe. It's luxuriously rich in Italian flavors since using light Alfredo sauce for the base of the chicken stew. Although a bit higher in fat and POINTS than my other pot pie recipe, it's still much lower in fat than a regular one. Each skinny serving has 355 calories, 12 grams of fat and 11 Weight Watchers SmartPoints. So worthy to make from time to time. The entire family will love it and it's fabulous enough for company!
Prep and Cook Time: 25 minutes
Bake Time: 14 minutes
3 cups mushrooms
1½ cups onions, chopped
1½ cups potato, peeled and cubed (½ inch cubes)
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, chopped
3 cups (12 oz) cooked chicken (boneless, skinless), cut into bite-size pieces, see shopping tip
2 (10 oz) containers Buitoni Light Alfredo Sauce, see shopping tip
1 cup frozen peas (not defrosted)
½ teaspoon dried basil
Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1 (12 oz) can Pillsbury Golden Layer Buttermilk Flaky Biscuits (100 calories for each biscuit)
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 13″ x 9″ baking pan with cooking spray. Set aside.
2. In a large microwave safe bowl, add mushrooms, onions, potatoes, zucchini and red pepper. Cover and cook for 5-7 minutes, until vegetables are soft.
3. Coat a large, nonstick large pan with cooking spray. Add garlic and all cooked vegetables. Do not drain liquid from veggies. Sauté for 3 minutes. Stir often. Using a rubber spatula (so you don't mash the potatoes) stir in cooked chicken, Alfredo sauce, frozen peas (breaking them up), basil and pepper. Bring back to a boil, turn heat down and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir often.
4. Pour chicken stew into baking pan.
5. Open package of biscuits, separate them and place on top of chicken stew. Line them evenly over top. Note: if you prefer your biscuits more toasted, you can easily bake them separately on a baking sheet. Follow the directions on the package. Once baked and chicken stew is baked, top each serving with 1 biscuit.
6. Bake for 15-17 minutes until biscuits are golden brown.
7. To serve: Spoon ¾ cup chicken stew and top with 1 biscuit. There will be 2 extra biscuits.
Serves 8 (each serving, ¾ cup chicken stew and 1 biscuit)
Shopping Tips
You'll find Buitoni Light Alfredo sauce in the refrigerated section where other pasta sauces are sold.
I used 1 (12 oz) package of Trader Joe's grilled chicken strips, cut into bite-size pieces. So delicious!

Look for this logo on products that contain Oxone™ in the shock treatment section of your local pool supply store.
» Where to Buy
Controlling and Preventing Algae in Your Pool
Weekly use of an Oxone™ based product will be more effective, and significantly cheaper, at preventing water quality problems like algae growth than treating algae once it is visible in a pool. However, if algae do appear, follow the steps below for treatment.
If algae remain a problem, consult your retail pool professional.
Once the pool water quality has been restored, start on a preventive pool care program that includes Oxone™, which helps to avoid problems before they start.

Manchester United Message Board

Are there any honest United fans?
I've just been on another United board (one which is not plagued by the windup merchants and overly-biased rivals we get on here) and not one out of 50 or so posters thought it was a penalty. This board just brings out the worst in people as you can't be as honst as you can with fellow fans with all the haters lurking around, it means you have to be constantly on the defensive.
The only thing that makes it such a controversial subject is the player involved. As you say, the players you mentioned get these kinds of decisions going their way week in week out, but you don't get the kind of uproar you do when it's Ronaldo drawing an easy foul in the area and going down as a result. I think envy (on the part of rival fans) has a big part to play in it all, to be honest.
It's just annoying when you've been defending him for the dive that never was and the penalty that should have been all week to then see him taking a tumble after the slightest touch (yes, there was contact) yesterday.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
A Yahoo! User Dec 10, 2007 02:09 Flag
Spot o Tim. Of course the consistently hypocritical Robert will not acknowledge this point. Last week Ronaldo should of had a penalty and is accused of diving when he clearly didn't. This week he's involved in a contentious penalty decision and of course there is outrage again, simple because its him, the league finest player. The way I see it is you can condemn diving all you want, but the guy can't win, you lot will single him out regardless, so United fans have to get behind him. No one condones diving, but then no one rants and raves about Joe Cole, Drogba, Eboue, Sagna and Gerrard doing it all the time, so f*ck the lot of you hypocrites!

I totally agree with Tim and Roon.
Last week's 'diving' decision was a joke and 'being Ronaldo' got him booked. Yesterday's pen on the other hand was 'soft' in the extreme.He clearly left his foot in to get the contact. If another team's player had done it I would have been angry. But top class players do this all the time and Ronaldo is no worse than anybody else. Over the season it definitely evens itself up.
I only hope he gets the opportunity to do it in the CL final in the 95th minute at 3-3 against Milan.

Rating: nr - Profanity, Violence
When a retired physician performs a miraculous feat that catches the attention of two curious medical students, their attempts to discover the secret behind the doctor's unique abilities yields a horrifying discovery. A small boy has become trapped beneath a five-ton tractor. Though the child faces almost certain death, his life is mercifully spared when elderly doctor Daniel Green (Bill Cobbs) somehow manages to lift the massive vehicle off of the boy with ease. How could a mere mortal accomplish such an amazing feat? Realizing that it would take much more than mere adrenaline to move such a foreboding piece of farm equipment, two medical students who happened to be passing through town at the time of the accident travel to Dr. Green's isolated farmhouse to speak with the celebrated hero firsthand. It seems that as the reclusive doctor advanced in years, his fear of death drove him on a desperate search for the fountain of youth. Despite the fact that he was successful in unlocking the key to immortality, Dr. Green's remarkable discovery has come at a horrifying cost. Now, as night falls over the countryside, these two curious medical students are about to discover just how unwise it can be to meddle with Mother Nature. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Georgia encompasses two Souths—the Old South of Savannah with its elegant homes, planned squares, and Spanish moss-draped live oaks, and the New South of Atlanta, a bustling high-rise metropolis with enough to keep visitors busy for weeks. For white-columned mansions and romantic visions of the past, look no further than central Georgia. One of the most popular Civil War battlefields is in northern Georgia. There's coastline here, too, with lush barrier islands stretching all the way to Florida.

In Brief: Stairways affiliation advances another step
Stairways affiliation advances another step
Stairways Behavioral Health has moved closer to consolidating with a Bradford-area mental-health agency.
Stairways' board of directors voted Friday to affiliate with Beacon Light Behavioral Health System. Beacon Light's board approved the affiliation Thursday.
The deal must still be approved by the state Attorney General's Office and the Erie County Orphans' Court. If approved, the two agencies could finalize their agreement by July 1.
Both agencies would keep their names and no layoffs are expected, Stairways Chief executive William McCarthy said.
Erie police probe purse snatching
Police are investigating a purse snatching in Erie on Thursday afternoon.
A woman said she was in the 400 block of Wallace Street when she was approached by a male who wrenched her purse from her, knocking her to the ground. The robber ran off heading south, police said Friday.
The woman was injured and was taken to Saint Vincent Hospital.
The suspect was described as a black male in his late teens or early 20s who is about 5 feet 8 inches tall and has a slender build.
Man held for trial in apartment blaze
MEADVILLE -- A Crawford County man was held for trial on charges in a fire that destroyed a 10-unit apartment building in West Mead Township.

Irwin remains in the Crawford County Correctional Facility on $150,000 bond.
West Mead police accuse him of deliberately setting a fire in his unit in Northgate Apartments, Route 77 and Leslie Road, on March 11. The fire destroyed the building and displaced 12 people. No one was injured.

Following classical dances, there will be popular Bollywood dances by community children and a fashion show by ESU students, showcasing varied South Asian costumes. Dinner from Spice India of Easton will be served following these dances.
Following dinner will be Indian classical instrumental music by Prabhat Kumar. After the instrumental music, guests may enjoy musical chairs, and then the audience can join the floor during the popular Dandia (stick dance).

US provides Vt. money to fix roads after floodsThe Associated Press | July 26,2013MONTPELIER - The U.S. Department of Transportation is providing Vermont $1 million to help the state recover from a series of spring and summer floods that damaged roads across the state.
The Federal Highway Administration's Emergency Relief Program provides funds for the repair or reconstruction of some federal roads and bridges damaged by natural disasters or catastrophic events.
The three members of Vermont's congressional delegation say the money is a much-needed infusion of federal funds to help towns throughout Vermont repair roads.
The storms began in May and lasted until early July. There were about 30 separate road segments closed by storm damage.
Significant damage was reported in nine counties.
Parts of the state were declared a federal disaster area following the May and early June floods. Another application is pending.MORE IN This Just InCASTLETON - Head coach Eric Ramey has announced that the Castleton softball team will once again...

Why Was Carrie Remade Again?
Today is a day many horror fans have been dreading for a long time: The release date of the remake of Carrie. We at TGD are not fans of the endless conveyor belt of horror remakes, and we absolutely put Carrie in the category of, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
The reviews for Carrie came in late, which is not a good sign right before a movie's release, and they were fair to middling. The fact that there's been little advance buzz on the film, and the fact that Stephen King's name can't be found on the ads is not promising. (King has a deal where if he doesn't like an adaptation of one of his stories, you're not allowed to use his name in the advertising.)
Now there's always the possibility we could be wrong and the remake of Carrie could actually be good, but we're frankly just puzzled why it was redone in the first place. Watching the trailers, it doesn't look much different than the original, and we're also not big believers in remaking a film if you can bring something new or different to the proceedings.
If the reboot of Carrie sucks, we're sure the original Brian DePalma masterpiece will stand strong, and the remake won't put a dent in its impact. The original movie still makes a strong statement against bullying, and you didn't need to spend millions of dollars remaking it to make the same point all over again.

New Scar Symmetry single
Cheesy, 80-ish and upbeat, but pretty fun to listen to. The production is better than on their last two albums as well
Well, I'm looking forward to this more than I was for their last two albums, so that's gotta mean something.
Digging: Devin Townsend Project - Transcendence
"The Singularity, Phase I: Neohumanity"
That chorus is painfully cheesy, even by Scar Symmetry standards. Will still check out the album though, all the ingredient are there for them to make something great again, just not getting hopes up
All their albums sound the same but I really like it so I'll probably look into this.
It's cheesy alright, but not quite as cheesy as The Iconoclast or The Anomaly. Those were right cheesy, in a bad way too. this is cheesy in a good way
is this band good
Digging: The Amity Affliction - This Could Be Heartbreak
They're okay
First three albums are fantastic, subsequent two are meh
Definitely fun, but just way way too cheesy for me. Will pass.
"The production is better than on their last two albums as well" [2]
I'm so glad for that.
sounds like ass
First three albums are fantastic, subsequent two are meh [2]
The cleans need to die but the riffs are fine.
Lars seems to squeeze his throat terribly when singing the "ee" sound, that's one mannerism of his that he needs to learn to drop
It's alright. My problem with the guy who does the cleans is that I always imagine how much better it would sound if Christian still did them.
Styx metal
Oh yeah, Def Leppard is back :]
My favorite from them is Holographic Universe. If you want to know if you'll like them, it's a great album to start with.
Symmetric in Design is still their best though
I like this a surprising amount
so cheesy it made me constipated just from listening to it.
Digging: Numenorean - Home
After the past couple albums, this is good to hear. Definitely cheesey, but the production is solid and the riffs are catchy. I'm interested.
Liking the riffs tbh
Digging: Mega Drive - 198XAD
Those screams are really incredible! Digging the 80's sound too!
I don't know why, but the chorus makes me uncharacteristically happy. They lay the swede cheese on this pretty well.
Digging: Thank You Scientist - Stranger Heads Prevail
This band never fucking disappoints me. Song is great. Unique and awesome lyrics as always. In my opinion, Scar Symmetry is one of the best overall metal bands out there. I love every album they have put out and I know this one will just as good.
It's just not the same without Christian, but Solution .45 is in the studio making a double album!
It's an okay song, but it just doesn't have that power. They are getting closer to a formula that they can stick with. I feel like the dual vocalists is too much. Either go with one or the other, in my opinion. Still gotta hand it to Per Neillson for delivering some great guitar work!
That was actually pretty cool.
solution .45 was never quite as good as scar symmetry's first three albums, it's just fap fodder for those who think scar symmetry was all about Christian.
Song is decent, still not better than the shit of the holographic universe which was legit as hell
I really like this actually, might check out the new album when it arrives
Digging: Burzum - Belus
The song previews at Amazon.com are very promising. Per Nilsson does a lot of singing on the album too, and he sounds way better than Lars

Hearn: Burns Needs To Step Down, Face Domestic Foes
By Edward Chaykovsky
Promoter Eddie Hearn is pleading with former world champion Ricky Burns to drop down in level and face domestic opponents - and then move up in class to the world level after a few return victories. Burns struggled in his last three fights, fall behind and needing a later rally against Jose Gonzalez, suffering a broken jaw and going to a draw with Ray Beltran and losing a lopsided decision and the WBO lightweight crown to Terence Crawford.
Hearn told Daily Record: "He has had a really tough run of fights and sometimes performance is based on belief and confidence. It's very difficult for him to have that belief after his last three performances. Forget the Beltran fight because he broke his jaw in that one. But the Gonzalez performance was poor and the Crawford performance was poor against a very good fighter.
"It's time for Ricky to step back a level. He needs to put in a great performance, get the confidence back, get the belief of the people again then go for another fight. The first thing he said to me after the fight was, 'get me Vasquez, Abril or Crawford.' I thought, 'blimey mate you've just had three tough fights. Have a rest, let's regroup and think about what went wrong'. The winner of Murray v Crolla is a good fight for Ricky. Now is not the right time for a world title shot."
He sounds like a child with Santa Claus, get me this, get me that. How about he goes and gets it. He won't go to Mexico, he won't go anywhere. Domestic rival? Like his cousin maybe?Comment by Black Barty on 04-04-2014

Here's the 12-step process for podcast production used by Convince & Convert Media.
The One Must-Listen Podcast for Social Media Marketers
The Social Pros podcast from Convince & Convert Media and hosted by Jay Baer is the Content Marketing Award winner for best podcast
Successful Social Pros Create Their Own Content
July's Social Pros know the value of delivering good content on social media. And owning that content is the only way to make sure you don't get caught by copyright issues or changing rules and regulations on social media platforms. While you're at it, you might even want to develop your own social platform to avoid dealing with the changing rules and regulations on today's social media platforms.
It's Time to Pay to Play
This month's Social Pros come together across industries and areas of expertise to give two pieces of advice that might be hard to hear: when it comes to content, you have to give it away for free; when it comes to social, you have to pay to play.
Is Live Streaming Right for Your Business
Brian Fanzo, Chief Digital Strategist at BroadSuite, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss the pros and cons of live streaming in terms of branding and copyright legality. He also give us his take on Periscope vs. Meerkat.
Which Content Types Get the Most Social Shares
Steve Rayson, Director at BuzzSumo, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss how different types of content resonate with different audiences, where visual content is headed, and how important influencers are to building your brand.
How TV Is Using Social to Drive Clicks and Viewers
Mac Mahaffee, Director of Digital Marketing at WKYC, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss second-screen engagement opportunities for television stations, the shift to mobile and what it means for TV, and the success of WKYC's Super Bowl app promotional campaign.
How Mari Smith Makes Facebook Work Wonders
Mari Smith, CEO of Mari Smith International, Inc. and author of "The New Relationship Marketing," joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss the growing importance of video in social media, Facebook's need to better educate its users, and the evolution of communication in the digital world.
Customer Support on Social Media is No Longer Optional
May's Social Pros guests understand the importance of customer support on social media. Companies who are committing seriously to customer support on social media are reaping the benefits. Companies who aren't responding to customer requests and issues on social media are suffering. It's that simple.
How Jackson Hewitt Dominated Social Customer Service
Eric Haftel, Social Media Marketing Manager at Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss customer expectations surrounding the immediacy of social media and the importance of an internal communication system between social media and other customer support teams.
Will Chinese Social Media Take Over in America
Blake Cahill, Global Head of Digital and Social Marketing at Philips, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss the different challenges of marketing across B2B, B2C, and B2G, as well as the differences in consumer behavior and social media engagement around the world.
How Verizon Uses Social for Marketing Research
Mason Nelder, Director of Consumer Insights at Verizon, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss the incredible advantages, the challenges, and the long-term company-wide transformations made possible through the customer insights gained from social media.
Why Twitter is Trying to Turn Itself Into Facebook
Joel Comm, co-author of "twitter power 3.0" and CEO of Joel Comm, Inc., joins the Social Pros Podcast this week to discuss Twitter's move toward a Facebook user experience, its need for a higher character limit, and its future as a stand-alone service.
Embrace Mistakes to Become a Better Social Media Pro
April's Social Pros come from three countries: Canada, the Netherlands, and the U.S. Between them, they've studied law, theology, film & TV, mechanical engineering, and performing arts. Their responsibilities span from leading a social media team of over 150 to designing yo-yos. They each have a piece of advice for us: embrace mistakes, set goals, listen, and interact.
How to Find Your Fans on Facebook but Connect with Them on Snapchat
Steve Brown, Marketing Manager at CLYW, a high-end return top company, joins the Social Pros Podcast this week along with Chris Mikulin, CLYW's Owner, to discuss high-end products on social media, the boosted reach of utilizing influencers, and the loyalty developed from one-on-one Snapchat engagement.

This coming-of-age novel by Jane Hamilton centers on Mary Frances "Frankie" Lombard and her family's sprawling apple orchard. Her idyllic life on the farm begins to fray in the complexities of family dynamics, love, and loss as the future of the farm becomes increasingly unclear.
Hamilton writes almost a love letter to a threatened way of life. One reviewer says it "takes us back to being a child and believing in one thing wholeheartedly."
There is much to discuss and appreciate in this novel. It would be a good book group choice.
Probably, like many of you, I spent a lot of time watching the Olympics over the past two weeks. Because of all the commercial breaks, I also got time to read. I reviewed my books-to-read list and discovered that there was not just one, but two books about Brazil.Crossing the River: a Life in Brazil by Amy RagsdaleNemesis: One Man and the Battle for Rio by Misha GlennyI went with Amy Ragsdale's story about her family's year in Penedo, a small town in northeastern Brazil. Her father passed along to her the value of travel and experiencing other cultures. This was something she wanted to pass on to her children and she wanted to escape her fast-paced life in the United States.If the Olympics gave you a little taste of Brazil and you want more, settle down with Ragsdale's book and see how Brazilian culture transforms her family.
In 1980, the
Chinese Government enacted a one child policy, mandating that each family could
only have one child in hopes of curbing the rapid population growth of the
country. This controversial policy was put into place to avoid facing another
disaster like the Great Chinese Famine from 1959-1961 that killed an estimated
15 to 30 million people.
there were unintended consequences. At the beginning of this year the one child
policy was lifted, but millions of families are still have to live with the unique
challenges it caused, such as the gender imbalance caused by widespread
infanticide, and millions of unauthorized second children who live
unacknowledged by the state, unable to attend school, or even get a library
In OneChild: The Story of China's Most Radical Experiment, Mei Fong explores the
aftermath of this policy through well researched analysis, and by following
families to capture the repercussions through a more personal lens. This book
is a really fascinating, eye-opening read. I definitely recommend it.
In fifth grade May and Libby created Princess X together. For years after the two continued the story of the princess in the purple dress and red chucks who wields a katana. That is, until Libby and her mom drive off a bridge on a rainy night. Three years later, lonely May discovers a sticker of Princess X on a shop window. No one could have created it, except for Libby. It seems impossible, but May wonders if her friend might still be alive. This clever murder mystery trails May on her quest to find out what exactly happened the night that Libby and her mom died, and to find Libby if she did indeed survive. Fans of webcomics, suspense, and puzzles will love this book! I sure did!
In 1981, my family flew to Hermosa Beach, California to visit my Aunt Sally and enjoy the California sun. I was a 13 year old Middle School student, had never been outside of the Midwest, and my idea of California was all about Hollywood movies and a 1950's idea of beach/surfing culture. Walking around the sleepy beach town that first day opened my eyes to the dark menace that was the early 80's punk rock scene in and around LA, including sleepy Hermosa Beach. That brief glimpse, and the cassettes that I purchased during that trip, changed the trajectory of the remainder of my youth and ultimately influenced my view of the world. Under the Big Black Sun: A Personal History of L.A. Punk provides the real story behind what I glimpsed when I was 13. Told through chapter-length tales from some of the scenesters that survived that dangerous and nihilistic time, Under the Big Black Sun is a vibrant front-row seat into a legendary scene the likes of which we aren't likely to see again.
As a child walks through her town, she greets the summer morning, the big orange sun, the walking sticks and butterflies . . . "Hello, chill in the air." And they
reply to her; "Hello, it's time to bring out your thick sweaters and scarves."
Simple, thoughtful text is matched with lovely illustrations with many small details to catch the eye of the youngest listener. Goodbye Summer, Hello Autumn is a beautiful picture book about the changing season.
There are some kids out there who ask why the sky is blue, what stars are made of, and if magic is real. Then there are kids who ask where the stuff in the toilet goes after you flush. And some adults wonder too. Or maybe I'm the only one.
Anyway, I stumbled across Sewers and the Rats That Love Them, by Kelly Barnhill, after reading The Mostly True Story of Jack and searching Barnhill in the catalog to see what else she has written. I was delighted to discover this book of gross and learned from its 28 pages of sanitation information facts about the history of waste removal, the steps of wastewater treatment, and why sewers make terrific homes for rats. I thought the book was really cool and it made me grateful for indoor plumbing, which is probably my favorite modern invention. Indulge your kids' or your own curiosity with this interesting book, and maybe look into Barnhill's other peculiar nonfiction titles, such as Sick, Nasty Medical Practices, The Bloody Book of Blood, and Animals with No Eyes, among others. I won't even think you're that weird.
I've been reading Jane Smiley's Twenty Yawns at storytime lately because I really like it. I think it's one of the best summer themed bedtime books. A child spends the day at the beach with her parents. Later on, at bedtime, mom falls asleep while reading a bedtime story. She sees the pictures she has drawn on her wall looking at her, but it's not scary. Lucy goes to find her bear, Molasses, and brings all the stuffed animals back to her bed where she tucks them in. Then all the pictures yawn. The stuffed animals yawn and so does Lucy. They fall asleep.
The illustrations are gorgeous. In 2015, illustrator Lauren Castillo received a Caldecott honor for Nana in the City, which she also wrote. Jane Smiley, a well known author of books for grown-ups, won the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1992 for her novel A Thousand Acres. In Twenty Yawns, she has crafted a peaceful read for children and families to end a busy summer day.
Julie Paschkis, the author/illustrator of "Flutter & Hum: Animal Poems", is a painter who has won awards for her artwork accompanying other picture books. Here, her illustrations depict folk art patterns that are both colorful and vivid; the perfect complement to the simple yet reflective poems. The poems appear in English on one page, and in Spanish on the opposite page. Despite her considerable abilities in constructing beautiful verse, she states that she is not a poet per se, nor a native Spanish speaker for that matter.Nonetheless, this slim volume depicts wonderfully all sorts of animals in motion- fluttering, slithering,leaping,stretching and the like.
A beautifully illustrated poetry book that is both fun and playful. Be prepared for young readers wanting to reread this many times over!
Toni Morrison said it best: this book is required reading.
In college I'll never forget reading one of the greatest works of African American literature ever to be put on paper: Invisible Man, by Ralph Ellison. For a white person first understanding what it's like to be black in America, this was a powerful experience for me. I was finding my way into an empathetic and complex understanding of the greatest tragedies in America. I distinctly remember the end of the book (or was it the beginning?): the narrator sitting in a basement room, with many lights, and books, and jazz and whiskey, plotting his reemergence into the great white world.
Now, many books and years later, Between the World and Me reawakens me. This book had the same effect on me as Invisible Man and There Eyes Were Watching God and The New Jim Crow, probably greater. The weight of the words and sentences has a physical effect on the body, a sad truth that slowly settles and creeps in. It's personal. He makes it personal. Every single word and sentence of this little book was chosen carefully for maximum effect and truth.
Another fascinating theme of this book is its atheistic, materialistic, physical outlook on the issue of racism in America. He says it as plain and real and physical as possible, and he says it many times: racism is the destruction of the black body.

Big shovel-ready jobs for Obama and his crew....what's the problem??
Union featherbeds...
The city is run by democrats that mostly went to Harrisburg schools. Not only is the city broke to a tune of over $280 million, the school district is equally broke (separate budget). This is after they closed multiple schools and let go 500 school employees.
Harriaburg schools fund most of their budget from state and federal funds - not local taxes. Put bluntly, if you pay federal income taxes, then you are sending your money to Harrisburg to be squandered. If you pay PA income taxes then you send even more of your earnings to an abject failure.
Of course the "culture" of Harrisburg's people make it the 21st most crime ridden city in America.
The is a solution to the problem, and it doesn't involve sending more money to Harrisburg, is to completely cut them off and let them live with the mess they made. I really don't have any emotions for bond holders of Harrisburg debt - face it they are not going to get paid - Harrisburg has long been a risky investment, just as any government entity controlled by liberals.
Maybe one day, the bad neighborhoods of Harrisburg can be bulldozed and there can be a new start.
Liberals want to herd us all into cities like this one. PA could have 'poster cities' ... encouraging us to "live in liberal hell" - splashed across the poster - writ large... Or maybe Chicago - and the poster's words could be done in ink that smacks of blood...

Thirty-five-year-old Rogelio Martinez is charged with attempted murder and terrorizing, and could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted.
The Daily News reports that Rogelio Martinez asked Andres Martinez to come to his house on July 12. He allegedly approached his cousin's vehicle and put a gun to his face, pulling the trigger when his cousin grabbed the gun. Police say the bullet went through the vehicle door and grazed Andres Martinez's hand.
Rogelio Martinez's defense attorney did not immediately respond to an Associated Press request for comment Monday. Martinez is due in court for a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.

Talks were scheduled between Stamford Bridge officials and Ba's representatives last night. A clause in Ba's contract means Alan Pardew is powerless to prevent the 27-year-old's departure from St James' Park and it is understood Chelsea are also willing to pay a further £2m in agents' fees to get the deal done.
Having agreed the £12m sale of Daniel Sturridge to Liverpool, Benitez needs more firepower because he saw Fernando Torres toil again despite an encouraging victory at Goodison Park.
Benitez was tight-lipped on the potential new arrival. "We do not talk about our business in public," he said. "Ba plays for another team so I do not like to talk about it."
Newcastle United are resigned to losing Ba who is looking for a five-year contract and wages of around £83,000-a-week.
Ba will then have to pass a medical, which is not a foregone conclusion. Stoke City pulled out of a £5.5m deal for Ba two years ago as they were concerned about a long-standing knee problem.
But he has not missed a game for Newcastle because of that injury, although it is a condition which needs careful management and may yet be a stumbling block if there are insurance issues.
Ba's arrival will strengthen their strike force as Benitez still believes he can lead Chelsea to a title challenge. He secured what was arguably the most significant win of his reign on Merseyside. It was the most resilient since he took over as Frank Lampard underlined his enduring importance with both goals.
Chelsea have collected a maximum nine points over the festive period. "We have had some difficult games but especially this one because they haven't lost for a long time," said Benitez.
"It was a great win for us."
