Feed the global poor, not Israeli arsenals
Israel's economy is booming. So why is the U.S. still giving it $3.1 billion a year? U.S. taxpayers have provided the Israeli military with more than $121 billion since the state was founded. In recent years, we have subsidized 25 percent of Israel's defense budget.
President Barack Obama has been criticized for being hostile to the Jewish state after we provided Israel with high-tech radars, missile defense batteries and bunker-buster bombs.
All this military aid apparently does not give the U.S. any leverage over Israel's decision making, because Mr. Obama has asked Israel to end settlement construction in East Jerusalem and the West Bank to no avail. I can't believe President Obama is happy about Israeli tanks moving into Gaza and the heavy bombing, which has already killed more than 1,000 Palestinians, many of them children. We've seen this movie before. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
President Obama's 2015 foreign aid request is $3.1 billion for Israel and $721 million for Nigeria, one of the poorest countries on Earth. Per capita, Israel gets $378, Nigeria gets $4. Israel is not a poor country. Its per capita GDP is $34,770. Nigeria's is $2,800.
The bulk of the money we give Israel is spent buying U.S. military equipment, serving as a subsidy to our military-industrial complex. That's part of the reason a country like Israel, not hard up for money, gets more assistance than any other country.
Eisenhower was correct when he said we must "Guard against the military-industrial complex," because it will steal "from those who hunger and are not fed."

Fairly report on Hamas agenda
I write in response to the letter "Media must fairly cover civilian suffering in Gaza" (July 24).
The suffering of the civilians of Gaza is not insignificant, but the real issue is why the citizens of Gaza are suffering. The answer is really quite simple: Hamas continues to attack Israel. Israel has the right to respond to years of unceasing rocket attacks, which have ever-increasing accuracy.
Israel announces its attacks in advance, even going so far as to call beforehand with warnings. But Hamas refuses to allow the women and children to leave, while the "brave" Hamas fighters take cover in bomb shelters until the danger has passed.
The letter writer says that "Since the suffering of the Palestinian civilians is an order of magnitude greater than that of the Israeli civilians, fairness dictates that the coverage of the Palestinian civilian casualties be an order of magnitude greater." I would agree IF the media would also cover the conditions and policies that lead to very few Israeli civilian casualties (missile defense system, bomb shelters) and that lead to many more Palestinian casualties (using their people as human shields, using casualty figures to play upon the sympathies of a largely anti-Semitic world, etc.).
Fair is fair and the media should fairly report all aspects of the regrettable situation in Israel and Gaza. Only when Hamas removes from its charter and its basic philosophy that nothing is more holy than killing Jews and destroying Israel will there be a chance for peace. Or perhaps the people of Gaza will realize what Hamas is doing to them and will "throw the bums out."

N.J. alimony payers will still be unfairly treatedThe bill that lies on the governor's desk waiting to be signed concerning so-called "alimony reform" (A845) is truly pathetic (letter, "Alimony measure better, but imperfect," July 23). I believe he knows it, the vast majority of our elected officials who passed it, know it, the judiciary is mostly aware of it, and the matrimonial lawyers who control the whole process know it. Everyone is happy to put a pen to it to make it go away for another 35 years, which is how long it's been since the last time it was seriously addressed, because it guarantees that the status quo pretty much remains.
It's a political and legal scam on the people of this state. New Jersey's alimony payers' debtor's-prison sentences and thousands of annually reoccurring alimony horror stories will all remain and continue with enactment of this bill, while the process continues to grossly enrich the few at the cost of the vast majority of us. Legislators simply give it the word "reform," tweak a few words and avoid any real work or attempt at a really good bill.
A truly important, real family issue such as alimony reform, which has consequences to thousands of children and moms and dads, is left to flounder amid obfuscation and misdirection. It's yet another reason to flee New Jersey or not come here at all.
Falling out of love is a crime in New Jersey, or at least you can be expected to be treated as a criminal if you should ever divorce (like half the country). New Jersey is NOT for lovers!

Resettle young refugees in familiar surroundings
The current wave of minors from Central American nations making often questionable claims of refugee status is being handled improperly by the federal government ("Obama presses for fast action on influx f migrant families," July 26). While it would be inhumane to detain children for extended periods of time in prison environments, the vast majority are economic migrants who do not qualify for refugee status and therefore should not be released to begin lives in U.S. communities.
Special temporary, secure, summer camp-style processing centers for unaccompanied minor aliens should be established to resolve these immigration cases in an expedited manner, with a goal of resolution within 45 days. Additional judges should be hired temporarily in order to reach faster decisions on these matters.
The U.S. should also seek to work with our Latin American partners in safe nations neighboring the home countries of these young Central American nationals to share the effort harboring any bona fide refugees. Refugees could be resettled in culturally familiar safe countries closer to their homeland, with any potential U.S. cost being substantially reduced.
We cannot afford to absorb every young person in Central America seeking to join the U.S. social welfare system and labor market, especially when we have already failed our own citizens in these areas.

UAlbany Receives NSF Grant to Establish Bridge to Doctorate Program for Underrepresented Populations in the STEM Fields
UAlbany's Bridge to Doctorate program will expand participation in science, technology, engineering, and math fields and prepare participants to be leaders in science at the national and international level. (Photo by P. Scott Barrow)
ALBANY, N.Y. (October 16, 2013) -- The University at Albany will establish a Bridge to the Doctorate program to encourage students from underrepresented populations to pursue graduate studies in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The goal of UAlbany's project is to expand participation in STEM fields and prepare participants to be leaders in science research at the national and international level.
The program, supported by a $987,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) grant, will provide fellowships to qualified students from populations traditionally absent in STEM studies, removing the financial barriers that prevent many of these students from pursuing graduate study. It will also provide academic and research support services for students. The Bridge to the Doctorate program is part of the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation program at NSF.
"This grant will strengthen our efforts to build a diverse community of scholars in STEM graduate programs at the University," said Kevin Williams, UAlbany vice provost for graduate education and primary investigator on the program. "It will also allow UAlbany to recruit highly talented students and provide intensive mentoring and professional development as they pursue their doctoral degrees."
The University at Albany has a long history of fostering student success in the STEM fields. The University's Center for Achievement, Retention and Student Success(CARSS), founded in 2008, operates a federally funded program designed to enhance recruitment and retention of students with science and mathematics majors through academic support services, mentoring, and tutoring.
The College Database also recently cited the University as one of the nation's top 50 Colleges Advancing Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. Using data provided by the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) on female student enrollment in STEM programs at colleges across the nation, the Database identified 50 schools offering extensive STEM programs, a high proportion of female students' enrollment, and significant numbers of female STEM graduates. UAlbany ranked 22nd in the nation and second in New York State with the highest number of women enrolled in biology disciplines.comments powered by Disqus

Pantropical spotted dolphin

|Dolphin skipping on its tail over the water

|Binomial name
|Stenella attenuata
(Gray, 1846)
|Pantropical spotted dolphin range
The pantropical spotted dolphin (Stenella attenuata) is a species of dolphin found in all the world's temperate and tropical oceans. The species was beginning to come under threat due to the killing of millions of individuals in tuna purse seines. In the 1980s, the rise of "dolphin-friendly" tuna capture methods saved millions of the species in the eastern Pacific Ocean and it is now one of the most abundant dolphin species in the world.
The species was first described by John Gray in 1846. Gray's initial analysis included the Atlantic spotted dolphin in this species. They are now regarded as separate. Both the genus and specific names come from Latin words meaning thin or thinning.
Three subspecies are recognised in Rice's 1998 survey of cetacean taxonomy.[citation needed] Two of these have not been formally named.
- S. a. subspecies A, the off-shore form found in the eastern Pacific
- S. a. subspecies B, a form found around the Hawaiian Islands
- S. a. graffmani, a coastal form found from Mexico to Peru
- S. a. attenuata.
The pantropical spotted dolphin varies significantly in size and coloration throughout its range. The most significant division is between coastal and pelagic varieties. The coastal form is larger and more spotted. (These two forms have been divided into subspecies only in eastern Pacific populations).
Spots are key defining characteristics in adults, though immature individuals are generally uniformly colored and susceptible to confusion with the bottlenose dolphin. Populations around the Gulf of Mexico may be relatively spot-free even in adulthood. In the Atlantic, confusion is possible with the Atlantic spotted dolphin.
Broadly speaking, the dolphin has a long, thin beak. The upper and lower jaws are darkly colored, but are separated by thin, white "lips". The chin, throat, and belly are white to pale grey with a limited number of spots. The flanks are separated into three distinct bands of color — the lightest at the bottom, followed by a thin, grey strip in the middle of the flank, and a dark-grey back. The tall concave dorsal fin is similarly colored. The thick tail stock matches the color of the middle band.
The pantropical spotted dolphin is very active and is prone to making large, splashy leaps from the sea. It is a common breacher and will often clear the water for a second or more. Bow-riding and other play with boats is common.
In the eastern Pacific, the dolphin is often found swimming with yellowfin tuna (hence the problem with dolphin deaths caused by tuna fishing). However, they do not feed on that fish. In fact, the two species have similar diets of small epipelagic fish. In other areas, the species may also feed on squid and crustaceans.
Birth length is 80–90 cm. Adults are about 2.5 m long and weigh 120 kg. Sexual maturity is reached at 10 years in females and 12 years in males. The average lifespan is around 40 years.
Population and distribution[edit]
The pantropical spotted dolphin, as its name implies, is found across all tropical and subtropical waters around the world — roughly speaking all oceans and seas between 40°N and 40°S. The total world population is in excess of three million — the second-most abundant cetacean after the bottlenose dolphin — of which two million are found in the eastern Pacific. However, this represents a decrease from at least 7 million since the 1950s.
Centres of highest population density are the shallow warmest waters (water temperature in excess of 25 °C). They also tend to concentrate where a high temperature gradient is found.
Appearances of vagrancy in the Levantine Basin of the Mediterranean Sea through Suez Canal is expected.[9]
Human interaction[edit]
The pantropical spotted dolphin's propensity for associating with tuna, particularly in the eastern Pacific, has in recent history been a very real danger. In the 1960s and 1970s, fishermen would capture thousands of dolphin and tuna at once using purse seine nets. The dolphins all died. Over a period of about 25 years, 75% of this region's population, and over half the world's total were wiped out. The issue has received wide public attention. Many major supermarkets have found it economically expedient to use tuna suppliers whose fisherman catch tuna by more discriminatory means, and thus advertise their tuna product as dolphin-friendly. Some such products are approved by the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Trust.[10]
Negative impacts from fishing activities remain, despite broad "dolphin safe" practices. Instead of reducing numbers through direct mortalities, fishing activities have disrupted the reproductive output of the northeastern pantropical spotted dolphin. The fishing had a negative impact on calf survival rates and/or birth rates. This could be caused when fishing operations separate mothers from their suckling calves, interfere with the conception or gestation of calves, or a combination of the two.[11]
The eastern tropical Pacific and Southeast Asian populations of the pantropical spotted dolphin are listed in Appendix II[12] of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS). As the pantropical spotted dolphin can be divided into three subspecies, studies of these distinct populations would be needed to assess conservation efforts.[13]
In addition, the pantropical spotted dolphin is covered by the Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Conservation of the Manatee and Small Cetaceans of Western Africa and Macaronesia (Western African Aquatic Mammals MoU) and the Memorandum of Understanding for the Conservation of Cetaceans and Their Habitats in the Pacific Islands Region (Pacific Cetaceans MoU).[14]

The skiing should be great in the upper Sierra this weekend " if you can get there.
A snow advisory remains in effect through 4 p.m. today, and mountain motorists should expect plenty of snow at 7,000 feet and higher, according to the National Weather Service.
Showers are predicted for the Nevada County foothills from today through Sunday, so traffic should be smooth through the lower elevations.
The storms will dump heavy snow on the upper mountains Saturday and Sunday, the weather service said, and Donner Pass ski resorts should get another 10 to 20 inches.
"As long as the winds stay down, it won't be a problem," said Lincoln Kauffman, the general manager at Donner Ski Ranch. Winds between 15 to 20 mph, with gusts up to 25 mph, could occur at the higher elevations through Saturday night, but should calm down for Sunday skiers, the weather service said.
Next week, the foothills will see a chance of rain Monday through Wednesday as storms roll in off the Pacific.
Highs are expected in the mid-40s to low 30s through Wednesday in western Nevada County, with lows in the 30s.
Skiers and snowboarders packed the slopes last weekend, Kauffman said.
"Everybody's ready to ski," Kauffman said. "They missed out last year, and this last Saturday and Sunday were excellent.
"The snow is very deep, powdery dry, like Colorado and Utah," Kauffman added. "We don't get that too often."
The ski ranch was reporting a base of 54 inches to 100 inches Thursday, with Boreal Mountain Resort having an 89-inch to 115-inch base. Sugar Bowl reported a 71-inch to 104-inch base.
"Our weather guy says we'll get snow nine out of the next 10 days," said Matt Aspinall, at Boreal. "Compared to last year, we have a lot more snow and a full-running mountain. Mother Nature has been kind to us."
Tire chain controls were in effect Thursday over mountain passes in the Nevada County region, and they could be in effect at any time over the weekend, the weather service advised.
Those controls allow motorists with four-wheel drive and snow tires all the way around to proceed, but travelers should check on road conditions at 1-800-427-7623 before leaving.
The controls were in effect Thursday for Interstate 80 from Applegate to a few miles outside of Reno. The same controls occurred on Highway 20 from the Five Mile House restaurant to I-80, and on Highway 49 from Camptonville to Sattley in Sierra County.
Travelers are advised to pack tire chains, water, food and warm clothes for emergencies when driving in the Sierra.

Some drivers will face big gas price jump this fallUPDATED 6:56 PM CDT Jul 29, 2013
Gas prices in Iowa are expected to take a big jump this fall as a pipeline operator changes what kind of gasoline they ship.Video Transcript
Good evening, Cynthia in for Stacey Tonite. Central Iowans should expect gas prices to take a big jump this fall. All because Iowa's pipeline operator is changing what kind of gasoline they'll ship. KCCI's Marcus McIntosh with our top story. Kevin and Stacey, in the next few months - people who fill up with gas WITHOUT ethanol will be paying a lot more. Here's why. Magellan Midstream Partners, based in Tulsa Oklahoma is Iowa's largest pipeline operator with this terminal just outside Des Moines.. Starting September 15th it will no longer ship regular 87 octane gasoline to Iowa terminals. A company spokes person it is just doing what its petroleum customers want. ============= SOT IN 8:06:00 BRUCE HEINE---PHONE R GRAPHIC IT IS ADOPTING A SPECIFICATION THAT IS MORE COMMOM WITH OTHER STATES AND PARTS OF THE UNITED STATES. BUTT TO SOT IN 8:09:58 IS FOLLOWING A NATIONAL TREND AND THAT TREND IS TO HAVE A MORE COMMON SPECIFICATION OF GASOLINE WHICH HELPS THE EFFICENCY OF THE DITRIOBUTION SYSTEM. ====== Harold Hummes with the Iowa department of Agriculture says the gas hike will likely jump 25-30 cents a gallon...for non-ethanol gasoline. =========== sot 1:45 harold hommes THAT CHANGE IS GOING TO COME TO THOSE WHO CHOOSE TO SELECT UNLEADED GASOLINE AND REMAIN USING THE STRAIGHT OR WHAT WE CALL CLEAR UNLEADED GASOLINE. ===== That means...the majority of people who pull up to the pump to buy gas....will not feel the same sticker shock. ========== SOT IN 2:05 82-PERCENT OF CONSUMERS USE WHAT WE CALL MID BLEND OR 10- PERCENT ETHANOL BLEND THAT LEAVES A VERY SMALL PERCENTAGE LEFT TO CHOOSE STRAIGHT UNLEADED OR PREMIUM ....I WOULD GUESS 10-PERCENT OF PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO MAKE THAT CHOICE. BUTT TO SOT IN 3:29 FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF CONSUMERS THEY ARE NOT GOING TO NOTICE A CHANGE. ============= ========= ========== The gas hike will be seen shortly after September 15th.... Non- ethanol gas will still be available but it will cost more due to the fact the premium gas will have to be blended at the terminal to reach the premium octane. Marcus Mcintosh, thank you.

Actress Kristen Stewart apologised to long-term boyfriend and Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson on Wednesday for a recent fling in which she was photographed kissing and embracing Rupert Sanders, the director of her most recent movie.
The 41-year-old director of Stewart's film, Snow White and the Huntsman, also issued a statement on Wednesday saying he was "utterly distraught" over the pain he has caused to his wife and children following his indiscretion with the 22-year-old actress that made headlines around the world.

Kristen Stewart deeply sorry for director fling
Kristen Stewart has issued a public apology to her boyfriend Robert Pattinson following reports of a brief affair with director Rupert Sanders.
"I'm deeply sorry for the hurt and embarrassment I've caused to those close to me and everyone this has affected. This momentary indiscretion has jeopardised the most important thing in my life, the person I love and respect the most, Rob. I love him, I love him, I'm so sorry," Stewart said in a statement to People magazine.
A fling between a Hollywood star and her director is nothing new in showbiz, but this one gained widespread attention because of the high-profile people involved.
Stewart, 22, and Pattinson, 26, portray the vampire-human couple of the Twilight series of blockbuster romance movies who are deeply in love in the films.
The pair's on-screen romance transferred to their real lives, and they confirmed they were dating in 2010. But they have tried to remain discreet in public and don't often discuss their relationship.
Given their past, Stewart's romantic liaisons with director Sanders, which was reported with photos on celebrity news outlets including People and Us Weekly, surprised celebrity watchers and put the trio in a publicly awkward situation.
"I am utterly distraught about the pain I have caused my family. My beautiful wife and heavenly children are all I have in this world. I love them with all my heart. I am praying that we can get through this together," Sanders said in a statement to Reuters.
British director Sanders is married to model and actress Liberty Ross, 33, with whom he has two children. In a twist befitting of a good Hollywood drama, Ross portrayed the mother to Stewart's Snow White in the Huntsman tale.

Representatives for Stewart and Pattinson did not respond to Reuters' request for comment.
Most recently, Pattinson and Stewart were together promoting the upcoming final Twilight film, Breaking Dawn - Part 2, at San Diego's Comic-Con earlier this month.
Universal Pictures announced in June that they were moving forward with a sequel to Snow White and the Huntsman, but did not confirm whether Sanders would helm the film. Stewart is expected to reprise her role, but is not confirmed.

Los Angeles Bank Owned Pool Homes
It's 101 degrees today in Los Angeles. Hello, Indian Summer! The real estate market remains tenuous, but triple digit weather has everyone looking for the bargain of the century: bank owned property with a pool and a view! I worked with several investors last year who wouldn't look at anything but bank-owned pool homes because they saw the intrinsic value in owning a home that had the added benefit of a pool- a 'must' for days like this in Los Angeles. As an REO broker, I've found that regardless of condition, people love, love, love a Los Angeles bargain property with a pool and will jump all over the chance to own one. if you manage get your offer accepted and snag a bank owned property with a pool and a view, I cannot stress enough the importance of having the pool thoroughly inspected. Remember: most banks these days sell property 'as is' and they're not likely to pay for costly repairs. You need to know exactly what you're getting into, especially with bank owned homes with pools in Los Angeles, since these properties have often been neglected for months and there are likely to be issues with the structure and mechanical components of the pool. Once you know what's required to get the home in good, working order you can evaluate whether your bargain Los Angeles bank owned property with a pool is really such a bargain after all. Happy house hunting and thanks to Lisa Delzompo for her great post on Murrieta bank-owned pool homes.

Cellular blue nevus is an uncommon pigmented tumor in the conjunctiva, where it generally appears as a deep, circumscribed, pigmented conjunctival mass. We report a case of conjunctival blue nevus that clinically resembled primary acquired melanosis and gave rise to conjunctival melanoma. A 41-year-old man developed a diffuse pigmented mass in the inferior fornix of his left eye. Over a 20-year period, he noted slight progression of the pigment. Foci of epibulbar pigmentation were also present. The lesion resembled primary acquired melanosis. Excisional biopsy and adjuvant cryotherapy were performed. Histopathologic examination disclosed an intense infiltrate of heavily pigmented dendritic melanocytes with aggregates of less pigmented plump cells in the substantia propria. The conjunctival epithelium was normal. Malignant cellular features consistent with melanoma were observed in some foci. Cellular blue nevus of the conjunctiva can simulate primary acquired melanosis and can give rise to malignant melanoma.
Blue nevus is a relatively uncommon benign pigmented lesion of the dermal melanocytes.1 Although blue nevus is classically considered to be a skin lesion, it has also been observed in the oral mucosa, vagina, uterine cervix, axillary lymph nodes, and prostate.1- 3 Blue nevus has the potential for malignant transformation into melanoma.2- 4
Blue nevus has rarely occurred in the conjunctiva, eyelids, orbit, episclera, and sclera.5- 9 In a series of 2455 conjunctival lesions in adults, only 5 (1.5%) of 317 pigmented lesions were found to be blue nevus.10 Additionally, only 1 (1.6%) of 71 conjunctival melanocytic lesions in children were blue nevi.11 Likewise, malignant transformation of cutaneous blue nevus into melanoma is very uncommon.5,12 To our knowledge, transformation of conjunctival blue nevus into melanoma has not been reported.13 Crawford et al14 recently reported that none of 30 cases with combined blue nevi had a malignant component. In a series of 150 consecutive patients with conjunctival melanoma, we are not aware of any that arose from blue nevus (personal observations). We report the clinical and histopathologic findings of a patient with an unusual cellular blue nevus of the conjunctiva that simulated primary acquired melanosis (PAM) clinically and underwent focal malignant transformation into malignant melanoma.
A 41-year-old white man was referred to the Oncology Service at Wills Eye Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa, for evaluation of a patchy pigmented conjunctival lesion on his left eye. The lesion was first detected when the patient was 21-years-old. During the subsequent 2 decades, the lesion progressed slightly and became more confluent.
Examination revealed a movable, diffuse, blue-black lesion that lined the entire inferior fornix and inferior bulbar conjunctiva. It appeared to be located deep within the conjunctiva and had no apparent nodularity, vascularity, or cysts (Figure 1). The caruncle, plica semilunaris, inferonasal bulbar conjunctiva, and inferior and inferotemporal limbal conjunctiva were all speckled with apparent intraepithelial and superficial and deep subepithelial brown pigmentation. There was corneal epithelial pigmentation near the limbus inferiorly. Findings from the remainder of the ocular examination were unremarkable. There was no preauricular or cervical lymphadenopathy and no cutaneous blue nevi or dysplastic nevi.
Slitlamp biomicroscopy shows a movable, diffuse, blue-black lesion with no apparent vascularity, or cysts, that lined the entire fornix and inferior bulbar conjunctiva.
Because of suspicion for PAM with conjunctival melanoma, we performed excisional biopsy with no-touch technique and double-freeze thaw cryotherapy to the surrounding conjunctiva.15 Multiple map biopsies of the presumed normal conjunctival epithelium were performed. The conjunctiva was closed with bilimbal transpositional conjunctiva flaps. A symblepharon ring was used to prevent conjunctival adhesions with excellent results.
Histopathologic examination of the forniceal lesion revealed melanocytic proliferation in the substantia propria with no junctional or epithelial component (Figure 2). The cells showed a biphasic pattern with ovoid aggregates of less pigmented plump cells and intense infiltrate of heavily pigmented dendritic cells with bland nuclei (Figure 2 and Figure 3). The dendritic cells innocuously infiltrated the deep tissue surrounding the blood vessels and within the orbital fat. In one area, nuclear atypia indicative of malignant transformation into melanoma was present (Figure 4). Histopathologic examination of several limbal and bulbar conjunctival biopsies disclosed other smaller foci of pigmented cells consistent with cellular blue nevus in the substantia propria. The conjunctival epithelium contained no pigmentation or atypical hyperplasia. The patient has done well on 13 months of follow-up with no recurrence of melanoma or blue nevus.
Conjunctival blue nevus. The substantia propria contains intense infiltrate of heavily pigmented dendritic melanocytes and several ovoid aggregates of less pigmented nevus cells. The conjunctival epithelium is normal without evidence of acquired melanosis (hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×10).
The blue nevus is composed of plump, heavily pigmented melanocytes with a spindled or dendriform configuration. Depigmentation (B) discloses bland nuclei in nevus cells (A, hematoxylin-eosin; B, bleach; A and B, original magnification ×100).
Focus of malignant transformation. Cells comprising focus of malignant melanoma found within blue nevus (B) have large pleomorphic nuclei with prominent nucleoli. (A, hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×10; B, hematoxylin-eosin, original magnification ×250).
Blue nevus cells are derived from melanocytes of neural crest origin that become arrested during the course of embryonic migration to the surface epithelium.13 When these pigmented dendritic melanocytes aggregate together as a distinct mass in the dermis, the lesion is called a blue nevus. The blue color of this cutaneous lesion is due to the Tyndall phenomenon, which is caused by absorption of longer, less energetic wavelengths of visible light as they pass through the dermis.3
By convention, 2 well-defined histopathologic variants of blue nevus are recognized, designated as "common" and "cellular" blue nevus.1,3 However, other new and related entities, including combined nevus, deep penetrating nevus, compound blue nevus, atypical blue nevus, and malignant blue nevus, have been reported recently.2,3,14 Differentiation of the blue nevus from these related but rare entities is usually based on histopathologic features.2,3 Crawford and associates14 recently reported that combined blue nevus can occur in the conjunctiva, but the other variants of blue nevus are extremely rare in the conjunctiva. Among these variants of blue nevus, the cellular blue nevus rarely undergoes malignant transformation into melanoma.12
Several forms of blue nevi can affect the epibulbar and adnexal tissues, including ocular melanocytosis, common blue nevus, and cellular blue nevus.13 These conditions are usually diagnosed at birth or shortly thereafter. Congenital ocular melanocytosis is characterized by flat, slate-gray pigmentation of the sclera, generally without conjunctival involvement. Although uveal melanoma, primary orbital melanoma, and leptomeningeal melanoma have been reported in patients with ocular melanocytosis affecting these tissues, conjunctival melanoma has not been identified.13 Conjunctival blue nevus appears as a noncystic brown or black-blue mass in the stroma.13,16 Common blue nevus is composed of a uniform population of pigmented dendritic cells. Cellular blue nevus shows a biphasic cellular pattern with lightly pigmented nodules consisting generally of uniform spindle cells surrounded by heavily pigmented dendritic melanocytes. As observed in our case, malignant changes tend to occur in the central oval or spindle cells, which are considered to be immature and have greater malignant potential.12
Common blue nevus and cellular blue nevus are extremely uncommon in the conjunctiva.13 Grossniklaus et al10 reported 5 cases of blue nevus (1.5%) in 317 pigmented conjunctival lesions in adults. McDonnell et al11 observed only 1 case of blue nevus (1.6%) in 71 conjunctival melanocytic lesions in children. Other studies have confirmed the rarity of conjunctival blue nevi.17,18
The differential diagnosis of conjunctival blue nevus includes common congenital and acquired nevus, congenital ocular melanocytosis, PAM, and malignant melanoma. Clinically, unlike the common nevus, the blue nevus lacks cystic inclusions of conjunctival epithelium.13 In contrast to the flat, slate-gray episcleral pigmentation of ocular melanocytosis and the diffuse, brown epithelial pigmentation of PAM, cellular blue nevus generally is well-circumscribed and located deep within the conjunctival stroma.13 In our case, the blue nevus was atypical because it was diffuse and resembled PAM clinically.
Conjunctival melanoma can originate from PAM, a preexisting conjunctival nevus, or de novo.19,20 Our group recently reviewed 150 cases of conjunctival melanoma and found histopathologic evidence of possible origin from preexisting nevus in 4%, PAM in 57%, and de novo in 39%. There were no cases of conjunctival melanoma arising from cellular blue nevus.21 Folberg et al19 found the distribution of nevus in 20%, PAM in 75%, and de novo in 5%. In the case presented here, a focus of conjunctival melanoma originated in the cellular blue nevus.
Patients with orbital cellular blue nevus have been found to be at risk for malignant transformation of the nevus into melanoma.5,22 Primary orbital melanoma likely develops from congenital rests of cellular blue nevus in the orbit.22 Tellado et al22 found that 19 (90%) of 21 patients with orbital melanoma had blue nevus of the orbit.
The prognosis of melanoma arising from cutaneous blue nevus is poor, with a high incidence of recurrence and metastasis.4,12 Connelly and Smith4 reported that 10 (83%) of 12 patients with melanoma arising from blue nevus in the skin developed metastases over a mean period of 40 months. Our group described 2 patients with extensive periocular cutaneous and orbital cellular blue nevus who developed orbital melanoma and eventually died of intracranial melanoma in both cases.5 The overall survival for conjunctival melanoma is 69% to 87% at 10 years.23 Since the focus of melanoma in our patient is relatively small, we are uncertain about the risk for metastatic disease.
In summary, the unusual case reported here documents a cellular blue nevus, which simulated PAM clinically, and eventually developed into malignant melanoma. We believe that patients with suspicious, pigmented conjunctival lesions should have wide excisional biopsy and adjuvant cryotherapy.

MOUNT PLEASANT -- A state trooper fatally shot a man who stabbed the officer with scissors on Friday when police confronted him for stealing at a southwestern Pennsylvania shopping plaza, authorities said.
Shopper Joyce Gales, of Connellsville, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that a cashier at the Save-a-Lot store in East Huntingdon Township called police when the man began drinking and eating without paying.
When troopers arrived, the man stabbed one of them in the head with scissors. Several shots were fired as the ordeal spilled into the parking lot of the Crossroads Plaza along U.S. Route 119, about 35 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
The suspect was killed. He was later identified as Seth William O'Donnell, 26, of Scottdale.
Trooper Steve Limani, a spokesman for the Greensburg barracks whose officers responded, confirmed the shopper's account and added other details.
Limani said the chain of events actually began at a Walmart nearby where O'Donnell, described as familiar to police, was acting violently with scissors toward store employees. Troopers were called when O'Donnell entered the supermarket and was again waving the scissors as he refused to pay for the snacks, Limani said.
The trooper, who has not been named, shot the man in the doorway of the supermarket after he was cut by the scissors, Limani said.

i sometimes wonder whether the ^F completion stuff wasn't left this
way on purpose, as if to illustrate the futility of (essentially) a
single-node solution in the presence of distributed environments.
to solve what you perceive to be a problem you must ask yourself: what
is the one thing that is fully aware of the current namespace? it's
obviously not rio: it simply juggles windows with shells in them. is
it the shell? putting the completion in the shell itself would work
for plain terminals, but wouldn't work for rio. is it the kernel?
would you bother adding to the kernel something as silly as command
completion? how about completing across a network?
all difficult questions for a silly problem

DART has PR problems with a pile of readers
More than 100 readers weighed in on a post that updated the DART ridership numbers. In writing that post, I had been surprised to find that gas prices went up in April and DART ridership continued down, in a line-to-line comparison against last year.
What was more surprising was the tone of many commenters. No big agency is going to please everyone, but I was struck by the virulence and bitterness of many people who said they were or had been transit users.
Their criticism had four major themes:
1) DART service can't get them where they need to go when they need to go there.
2) Riding DART takes more time than driving.
3) Trains are too crowded
4) Taking DART means dealing with dangerous, unsavory people.
I'm going to bounce this post over to Morgan Lyons at DART to see if he or someone else wants to respond to customers that seem soured on the product.
The responses to 1) and 2) will be interesting from a planning and statistics standpoint. And 3) from the standpoint of customer tolerance.
As for the response to 4), good luck.
Here are a few examples of nasty comments:
– I was a huge proponent of DART and an annual pass holder up until the end of last year. They lost my patronage for multiple reasons.
1) Safety. I witnessed guns on board, gang signs being thrown, 'artists' at work on their graffiti, knives left in the seats, lover's violent quarrels. I was cussed and stared at, followed, and begged for money. 2) Cleanliness (or lack there of). There was trash, food, and sticky remains of who knows what. …
– Cars are dirty and crowded, gross half-dressed people, foul language, loud music (calling it music is a stretch), are all present. I have to live in the world with this part of society, but I will not set or stand next to, or be crammed into a small area with them just to save a buck or two.
– I think it's more likely that people have ridden it, and decided that they didn't want to ride anymore with urine soaked bums, loud profane youth, people with body odor, menacing looking people, and all the panhandlers and jerks who hang around the stations like the West End one.
I have to say this hasn't been my experience, though the later it gets in the night the louder things get in the train cars. But maybe I have a greater tolerance level. Taking the city bus was the way to get around where I grew up in Cleveland.
In Dallas — where the South peters out — things are different.
Dallas loves the creature comforts and relative safety of the car, especially from the standpoint of a large zone of personal space. I think the bias for many middle class or affluent people is to avoid the rabble. And one experience that makes them uncomfortable can kill the deal forever.
So from DART, I'm wondering what customer satisfaction surveys have picked up on people's comfort level and feeling of security on trains.

Idea of the Day: Delivering Development
World leaders are set to meet in September 2015 to agree on a set of goals to replace the Millennium Development Goals, which will expire in 2015. People from all over the world have been engaged in opining, discussing, debating, and even voting on what those new goals should be.
While significant attention is being paid to the vision of the post-2015 agenda, less attention has focused on the details of how to achieve this vision by 2030, the assumed deadline for the next set of goals.
Fortunately, the conversation is now turning from the "what" to the "how" with the recent announcement of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, or FFD, conference to take place in July 2015 in Addis Ababa, just ahead of the September 2015 U.N. summit to adopt the post-2015 framework.

Pictures of the three homes that Romney owns vs
the one home that President Obama owns.
A billionaire wanting "more" is a very frightening
The history of American politicians shows that
those leaders with great wealth, who moved into
the Oval office, were not thinking of the wide
range of needs for the American people.
The strongest Presidents that fought FOR the
people had a history of a struggle to survive, that
showed great strength and character in their
decisions for all.
The mongrel dog, knows how to fight...the poodle
waits to be protected.

Cuts to the environment budget announced today prove the need for a radical rethink on how we protect our threatened wildlife.
That's the message from the RSPB following today's announcement that Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), alongside several other Government departments, is set to be hit with a 10 per cent cut.
Added to the cuts that have already been announced, this leaves Defra's budget at almost half where it was in 2010 in real terms. Today's cut is likely to fall disproportionately on conservation as spending on flooding issues and the badger cull is likely to be protected.
The news comes a month after the groundbreaking State of Nature report was launched by Sir David Attenborough and 25 leading conservation organisations which revealed that our wildlife is in serious trouble with 60 per cent of UK species in decline.
'We need a radical rethink of how we can protect our plants, animals, rivers, seas and landscapes'
Martin Harper, RSPB conservation director, said: 'These latest cuts signal the urgent need for a sea change in the way we protect our wildlife.
'Clearly Defra is not alone in suffering cuts on this scale and with the economy in the shape it's in it we would be foolish not to expect the coat to get cut to fit the cloth.
'However the State of Nature report published in May laid the facts bare about the worrying declines in our native species. Without investment in the future of our natural environment the situation will only get worse.
'This is why we need a radical rethink of how we, as a nation which has pioneered conservation work over several decades, can protect our plants, animals, rivers, seas and landscapes.
'If the Government will not pay for environmental protection in the same way it has done in the past then we need to think hard about how we reverse wildlife declines. The environment must be central to thinking across government departments. Charities, businesses and landowners can do more but the Government must lead by example.
'The £11 billion of savings made today is set to be invested in infrastructure projects tomorrow. It is essential that these roads and bridges are planned with wildlife in mind – and that we are also investing in our natural capital, the habitats and species which are so important for our health and wellbeing.
'The environment is not a luxury in times of plenty, it is essential for our future and we have an obligation to care for it for future generations.'
Nature in the UK is in trouble and some of our more familiar garden species are amongst those suffering serious declines. We can all help by giving nature a home where we live.
Create a home for nature

Several student science-contest winners from the Philadelphia region were recognized by President Obama at the first White House Science Fair on Monday.
The fair, which showcased the work of 85 students, is part of the "Educate to Innovate" campaign aimed at moving U.S. students from the middle to the top of the pack in science and math achievement over the next decade.
Among local students exhibiting at the fair were:
Raina Jain, a senior at Freedom High School in Bethlehem, Pa., who won first place at the International BioGENEius Challenge for her research. She analyzed whether cells adhere better to rough or smooth surfaces of Bioglass, which could lead to improved bone implants.

Daily Journal
TUPELO – Talk about determination.
When Cortney Ward was about 7 years old, she talked her baby sitter into letting her make a cake while her parents were out.
"It was a spice cake and it was horrible," the 31-year-old said. "There were ingredients I didn't recognize, so I just left them out," she said. "The recipe called for soda and I thought 'Pepsi,' but I knew that didn't belong in there so I left the baking soda out. And it called for oleo and I didn't know what that was, so the cake was very, very dry."
But she's gotten better.
And even more determined.
"I've pretty much done everything myself, taught myself to cook," said Ward, the daughter of Lisa and Randy Ward of Pontotoc. "The women in my family can't be in the kitchen with anyone else or it's a disaster. I'm the same way."
First, Ward borrowed her mother's church cookbooks to get recipes. If she had a question about something, she usually turned to her maternal grandmother, Anne Wilder of Ecru.
"Both of my parents can cook, they just don't really like to," said Ward, who lives in Pontotoc and works as a teller at Trustmark Bank in Tupelo. "My grandmother is where I get my cooking from, I suppose."
Today she's much more likely to find electronic sources for her recipes.
"I've got probably 50 cookbooks at home but most of the recipes I try come from Pinterest and food blogs," Ward said. "They're going to be the death of me. If I tried a new recipe every week for the rest of my life, I'd already have all the recipes I need to do it. It's sad."
Ward, the youngest of three children, would rather cook something sweet than put a meal on the table, although she said she does most of the cooking at her parents' home.
"My family likes simple, basic things," she said. "I'll fix pork chops, green beans and mashed potatoes, or hamburger steaks, mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. They'd eat mashed potatoes every night if I'd fix it. It takes some doing to get them to try new stuff."
When she is feeling adventurous, she'll find something sweet to make to take to a potluck at church.
"Pretty much whatever I make they'll try it at church," she said. "The last new recipe I took there was Twinkie cupcakes and they turned out wonderfully. I mean, I love to cook, but food is everything. I like cooking food, I like eating food, I like reading about food. It's ridiculous."
Do you know a good cook? Send your nominations to Ginna Parsons, Cook of the Week, P.O. Box 909, Tupelo, MS 38802. Or you can fax them to (662) 842-2233 or email them to email@example.com.

Model. Webmaster. Dentist. Attorney. Counselor. UPS. Salesman. These careers and more were introduced to students at Southside Elementary as part of its Career Day. Superintendent James Neihof told the assembly, "Dream big and work hard to make those dreams come true." Adults spoke at the assembly and then gave presentations in individual classrooms throughout the grade levels. Each emphasized what skills they use that the children are now learning: reading, writing, math, communication, etc.
These orchestra students from Shelby County schools participated in Kentucky Music Educators Association Solo/Ensemble district competition:
Shelby County High School
Collins High School was among 41 high schools selected by the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) and its partners to receive grants to develop or improve the nutritional, physical activity or tobacco prevention policies at their schools.
The $500 grants are part of the Students Taking Charge program offered by Kentucky Action for Healthy Kids (KYAFHK). Collins High received a grant for a tobacco awareness plan. "Health leads to a wealth of knowledge, success, and a long life which students care about," said junior Taylor Royse.
Schreiner named to Kansas honor roll
The Collins Dance Team placed third in pom and hip hop at the KDCO State competition Feb. 25 at the Frankfort Convention Center. There were 15 teams competing. The team is pictured with the awards they won during this season. Members are (standing from left) Sydney Catlett, Katie Usher and Patrice Peterman; (seated in middle) Jill Stella and Lauren Wood; (front) Andi Gaither, Morgan Isenberg, Taylor Scroggin and Sydney Rogers. Not pictured are head coach Hilary Crucet and assistant coach Michelle Isenberg.
Smith on UK dean's list
Tanner Jacob Smith has been named to the dean's list at the University of Kentucky for the Fall 2011 semester. To be selected for this honor, a student must compile an academic standing of 3.8 or better out of a possible 4.0 for the semester. He was also awarded the presidential scholarship for four years. His major is architecture. Smith graduated from Collins High School in 2011 and is the son of Bryan and Mary Hayes Smith of Simpsonville. His grandparents are Jake and Carol Lou Smith, Ann C. Hayes and Mickey Hayes.
The first- and second-grade teachers at Southside Elementary held a "Math Night" for their families to learn a about strategies they are using at school and how they can help students at home to reach their "Big Goal."
Jones graduates from KSU
Tracy B. Jones graduated cum laude from Kentucky State University with a bachelor of arts in business administration, with a specialization in Accounting. Jones is a 2008 graduate of Shelby County High School, the daughter of Cecil and Jody Jones and the granddaughter of Rosa Jones all of Simpsonville.

• We compared the EEG power spectral density patterns for chronic, nonparanoid schizophrenics and age-matched chronic alcoholic and control subjects. Bilateral precentral (F-T) and postcentral (C-O) derivations were used in the analysis. The nonparanoid schizophrenics and alcoholics showed increased low-frequency activity (O to 6 Hz) in all derivations in comparison to the control subjects. Chronic alcoholics were found to have increased high-frequency activity primarily in the precentral derivations. Nonparanoid schizophrenics showed increased power in the high-frequency bands predominantly in the left precentral derivation. We discuss the implications of patterns of differences concerning the issue of nonspecificity of the EEG in psychiatry.
