LEAD - in pipes; in your pants; In Lipstick???
Yes, unfortunately lead is in lipstick. Does that concern you? Well, if you're a man ...or a woman who doesn't use lipstick...not to worry.
What about the rest of us lipstick-users?
Yes, yes, yes!!! We should be very much concerned.
Ladies, think of how many times in your life you have applied lipstick to your mouth. Each time a little bit of lead is entering your body. You are in all senses of the word eating it.
Glamour magazine wrote that we ingest about four pounds of lead in a lifetime through the use of lipstick.
Lead poisoning has always been a problem for humans. More than 2000 years ago an engineer warned Julius Caesar about the danger of transporting city water in lead pipes. Lead poisoning led to Beethoven's chronic illness and some think it contributed to his death.
Lead in our bodies will mimic other biologically important metals such as iron. calcium and zinc thus interfering with normal biological processes. It has also been shown to hamper learning and brain development.
It interferes with the production of red blood cells and can lead to anemia. Other symptoms of lead poisoning include constipation, diarrhea, metallic taste in the mouth and rapid weight loss.
There has been a general outcry to the FDA to take steps in dealing with the problem but as of today the Cosmetic industry is pretty much policing itself ... like the fox guarding the hen house.
To learn more you can go to this site: www.safecosmetics.org.
Because of the work of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics the FDA finally tested lipstick and released a study in 2009 showing that yes, there was lead in all samples that it had tested. The highest levels were made by : Procter & Gamble (Cover Girl) , L'Oreal , Maybelline and Revlon.
However, as of today no action has been taken to protect consumers.
A new study in Environmental Health Perspectives, showed that scientists detected "concerning" levels of chromium, cadmium, and manganese in popular lipsticks and glosses. This means that your favorite shade of lipstick could be raising your risk of dangerous diseases and organ damage.
People who apply and reapply lipstick and/or gloss several times a day could ingest excessive levels of chromium, a heavy metal linked to stomach tumors.
This isn't the first time heavy metals have turned up in lipstick. In recent years, the Food and Drug Administration found lead in hundreds of lipstick samples tested. Because lead and other heavy metals are considered a contaminant and not an ingredient, it doesn't have to be listed on the label.
That's a perfect example of the "letter of the law" and how it can work against us.
The only way to avoid these dangers is to use only natural lipstick.
Commercial lipsticks that are sold everywhere even the ones that are "high-end" and expensive contain lead and other contaminants hazardous to your health.
Take responsibility for your own welfare and don't think that the government will do it for you. The Cosmetics Industry is just too rich and powerful.
However,once we become educated consumers and stop purchasing their harmful products, they will be forced to change.
There are sources of pure natural lipsticks and glosses but they are not in drug or department stores. You can find these products online by going here:

"When in doubt, wear red," said the iconic fashion designer, Bill Blass. Good advice for any time of year, but particularly at Valentine's Day when the color red and amour become inseparable.
This union of color and passion began long before St. Valentine flung his first arrow. Red garlands, red scarves and even red wedding gowns have been en vogue in many cultures as part of wedding customs for centuries. The tradition goes back to roman times: Roman brides were wrapped in a fiery red veil, the flammeum, to bring love and fertility.
So when you're feeling red hot, it's a sensation you share with women through the ages. It's also one with a growing body of modern scientific support. Scientists say red intensifies our physical reactions and, more than other colors, provokes clearly identifiable reactions. In particular, red is shown to lead men to view women as more attractive and more sexually desirable.
But you, our beautiful friend, probably already knew this. Perhaps that's why you've found yourself eyeing a great red blouse, or browsing our perfect shades of luscious red lipsticks. We understand. That's why we've created our most popular Beautiful Color Lip formula in— you guessed it: Red Door Red. Discover the COLOR OF LOVE now.

When Nashville's finest get together, there's bound to be boots and cowboy hats. And jokes about Taylor Swift.
As country's coolest crooners took to the Bridgestone Arena for Wednesday night's 45th annual Country Music Association Awards, Nashville's big night was full of equally big moments.
From down-home, downright fun performances to a heartfelt tribute to Glen Campbell, tell us: What was your favorite moment of the night?
When Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley get together, they can carry a tune – and score big laughs. For the fourth year in a row, they hosted the CMA Awards, and their chemistry was enough to get Miss Piggy jealous. The duo also performed their sultry single "Remind Me."
At the beginning of the show, Modern Family star Eric Stonestreet poked fun at Kim Kardashian, saying her marriage with Kris Humphries lasted "as long as Taylor Swift with her current boyfriend."
She got the last laugh, though: Swift went home with the night's highest honor, entertainer of the year, a title she also earned in 2009. She also performed a new, low-key love song, "Ours."
Talk about a power couple: Husband-wife country stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton, who tied the knot in May, took home top honors for female and male vocalists of the year, respectively.
"It's gonna be a good night tonight, baby!" Lambert said in her acceptance speech, while Shelton coyly smiled and rubbed his hands together from his seat in the audience.
He may be more Motown than small town, but Lionel Richie proved he was down for a little country-tinged fun. Richie shared the stage with Little Big Town, Darius Rucker and Rascal Flatts singer Gary LeVox for a soulful medley of his hits "Deep River Woman," "Stuck on You" and "Dancing on the Ceiling."
It was the biggest names in Nashville honoring one of country's biggest legends: Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Vince Gill paid homage to Glen Campbell, who announced in June that he has Alzheimer's disease, through a musical tribute of some of his greatest hits, including "By the Time I Get to Phoenix," "Wichita Lineman" and "Galveston." Campbell, who mouthed the lyrics from his seat in the audience, was then called on to the stage with his wife of nearly 30 years, Kim Woollen, to strum the guitar.

Focus: Southeast Asia and Africa
Northern Illinois University-DeKalb; June 14 - 17, 2010
The 21st century has not brought us any closer to ending genocide. Sadly it remains an ever-present reality in our world. But with the recent call to action by the Genocide Task Force, pleading for Americans to create "a permanent constituency" against impunity, ignorance, and apathy when it comes to genocide,
In its fifth year, the Roger W. Smith Genocide and Human Rights Summer Institute for Educators offers you the chance to become a catalyst in the creation of this constituency. By studying with some of the leading scholars and teachers in the field of genocide, human rights, and violence, you will be better prepared to offer instruction to your students and shape the next generation's efforts to stop the violence. Teaching ideas will be explored, lesson plans provided, and all materials for teaching.
All K-16 educators are welcome to attend. Resource and curriculum materials will focus on the middle/high school/community college levels. Our keynote speaker for 2010 is Dr. Scott Strauss of University of Wisconsin.
Funded in part by the U.S. Department of Education, Title VI, National Resource Center Grant and co-sponsored by NIU's Genocide and Human Rights Institute and the Center for Southeast Asian Studies, Northern Illinois University.
Here is the link for the institute: http://www.cseas.niu.edu/CSEAS/conferences/GHRI2010/index.shtml. Please use the upper-right hand menu for application, housing, and schedule information.
We look forward to working with you!

Following up on his Nike "What The KD IV" Customs from a while back is the Nike "What The KD V" completed by none other than Mache Customs. This perfectly crafted mash-up of the most engaging KD V colorways looks like it came straight outta the Nike factory, which leads us to wonder if Nike would've come up with something similar if Kevin Durant took home the MVP trophy this season. With several elements like "Aunt Pearl", "BHM", "DMV", and more, this ultimate remix of KD V hits is one you can't miss out on! Check out this custom order of the Nike "What The KD V" below and let us know if you think these are better than the Nike LeBron X "MVP" that we unveiled to you earlier this week!
Colorway breakdown
Tongue/liner – Aunt Pearl
Toebox/toe swoosh – BHM
Rear – Hulk
Midsole – Ice Blue
Side swoosh – Easter
Tongue/rear – Christmas
Toebox/swoosh – DMV
Toe swoosh – Nerf
Midsole – Area 72

I wouldn't rock 'em, but they are executed very well.
Ok. Real talk.
First of all, I'm a big Mache fan (s/o to peeps in BK), but these are realll suspect.
If he really did this all by himself (through his art connects and what not), that is truly amazeballs. BUT Why do I have a feeling these were "hooked up" by Nike or someone else for him to say he did it or he has it?
Again, FULL RESPECT to him for being the best out there, but am I the only one who think these are TOO WELL DONE ?! Just questioning, not hating. If anyone knows how to pull this off right, let me know... or simply, he really did it and is one of a kind.
Looks like he painted on an aunt pearl and a Xmas shoe. Looks good. The "what the's" aren't anything new, but they do look good.
these are masterfully done.
I hope Nike sees these customs and decides to release this colorway. So dope and way better than the lebron what the MVP.
So dope!
Or.... you can just wear any 2 diff sides of the same shoe and call it "what the ..."
I think regaurdless if you like them or not the craftsmanship is undeniable
I don't like these. I don't like any of the "What The ..." shoes. With that being said, he did a great job. A great custom job to me is one that is pulled off so flawlessly that it could be a factory release
Can't even front, these are nice... But another unreleased sample frum Nike... Thanks fa doin it big tho Mache
he never ceases to amaze. beautifully executed.
@212TP First of I'm NOT a fan of Mache. Mostly because all the work I've seen from him seems hacky, copied or unoriginal. Not that the "What the ?" concept is brand new... but at least these were executed well. and I dont think it's outside of his skill level to do this.

This book is intended as a guide for the practitioner in the differentiation and treatment of cutaneous and venereal disorders. The chief point that distinguishes it from other textbooks is the space (fifty pages) devoted to tabular differential diagnosis according to predominating symptoms and localization. There are 155 illustrations, including 32 in colors. The latter are taken mostly from atlases and moulages and are almost too vivid. The accompanying text is concise and readable. The therapeusis is along the traditional continental lines. Altogether this is a useful manual occupying an intermediate position between the larger, more detailed textbooks and the smaller compends.

As you all know I am a very proud mum of a beautiful 17 week old baby girl. The Worm has started to play with toys recently, so when I saw the opportunity to review the Fisher Price 1-2-3 Crawl-Along Snail I jumped at the chance. This is a Product Talk by Nuffnang and I received a 1-2-3 Crawl-Along Snail to review.
The snail impressed me right out of the box – literally! I was very impressed with the way they had secured the snail in the packaging – there was no silly little plastic tags that needed to be cut out & always end up on the floor. To get the snail out of the box you simply turn the little black widget thing & it unlocks like a key – no mess!
Once out it was instantly a success with the Worm. She has just started to really enjoy her tummy time & now she can roll back & forth she loves to follow things around. The snail has lockable wheels so seeing as Worm can not crawl yet I initially locked them in place so it wouldn't roll away from her.
The snail has a bright cheerful face which lights up when activated – the 'happy & you know it' music was very pleasant & brought a smile to my face. To activate the lights & sounds requires a very gentle touch, even Worm could make it work. She particularly liked the "yippee" sound.
The snail has a mirror on one side, which Worm loved looking into (she's getting a little vain just like her mum!)
Today I decided to un-lock the wheels & Worms face when it went racing across the tiles was priceless. I can see her chasing this when she learns how to crawl. The snails face, colours & lights intrigued Worm & she was reaching out to touch it very quickly, this might be a fantastic motivate her to crawl (although I am in no rush as my house is certainly not baby proofed yet!)
The Fisher Price 1-2-3 Crawl Along Snail retails for $31.99 and is suitable for children from 3-36months which makes it very good value for money. I love how the toy adapts to your child's development, and I can see this one being a favourite in our house for many years to come.
Did you have a favourite Fisher Price toy growing up? What was it? Do you still have it?

A pharmacogenomic approach to coumarin anticoagulant therapy
Coordinator: Anke-Hilse MAITLAND-VAN DER ZEE
Project Number: 223062
EC contribution: 2,544,891.00
Project website:
The effectiveness of treatment with oral anticoagulants in the prevention of thrombotic disorders is well established, but these drugs are potentially dangerous because of their narrow therapeutic index. In Europe three coumarins are used: warfarin, acenocoumarol, and phenprocoumon. Genetic factors that have been recently demonstrated to change the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of coumarins are the presence of polymorphisms in the genes encoding for CYP2C9 and VKOR (vitamin K epoxide reductase complex). Polymorphisms in these genes are associated with increased risk for severe overanticoagulation and bleedings. A clinical trial will be performed in seven European countries to determine whether knowledge of the genotype of patients at the start of coumarin treatment will increase the safety of use of these compounds and whether such gene testing is cost-effective. Patients will be randomized to receive treatment with a coumarin either dosed with an algorithm that does not include information on their genotype, or with an algorithm that does contain this information. The primary outcome will be time within therapeutic INR range. Secondary outcomes include INR>4 and bleedings.

HARRISBURG - A controversial bill imposing stricter standards on abortion clinics in Pennsylvania cleared the state Senate Tuesday and now heads to the House, where its fate is uncertain.
By a vote of 38-12, the Senate passed legislation - prompted by a grand jury's report exposing horrific conditions at a Philadelphia abortion clinic - that would increase inspection, space, staffing, and other requirements for the 20 clinics operating throughout the state.
The bill, which changed dramatically since its introduction earlier this year, needs House approval and Gov. Corbett's signature to become law. Corbett spokesman Kevin Harley could not immediately be reached for comment Tuesday.

He was never, as he claimed, all ears. Always a better talker than listener, he knew from the very beginning of his improbable quest for the presidency how to deliver the message that so many Americans longed to hear about their couch-potato nation. In Perotspeak as dead-on, energizing and relentlessly positive as the latest high-performance-sneaker ad, he told it like it should be, and he made intractable problems sound, once more, tractable: "Now don't quit in the middle! Let's figure out what has to be done and just do it, do it, do it!" As he never tired of saying: "It's just that simple." With his engaging homilies and stern but reassuring manner, crew-cut Ross Perot, 62, seemed the ultimate patriarch from the golden age of Sitcom America. Father knows best...how to save the country.
Perot lit up the electorate by casting himself as just that kind of national daddy. Helped by popular disdain for the inarticulate George Bush and doubts about the slightly too bushy-tailed Bill Clinton, Perot's extraordinary bid for the White House laid bare a deep longing for a leader who would make us eat our spinach. Barely three months after that now famous night of Feb. 20, 1992, when he first announced his willingness on CNN's Larry King Live! to run for President, the Dallas billionaire had ridden to the top of the polls by preaching his gospel of tough love—tax hikes, budget cuts and all-around fiscal discipline. Tens of thousands of volunteers toiled to get him on the ballot in all 50 states.
In the beginning, press accounts of Perot's life were mostly flattering, focusing on his boyhood in Texas, his schooling at Annapolis, his rise to great wealth and, of course, the legendary 1979 commando mission to Iran that he bankrolled to rescue two employees. But then the father figure showed some disturbing signs of dysfunction. A darker portrait emerged—that of a bare-knuckle businessman with a fondness for private investigators and conspiracy theories. Increasingly under siege, Perot suddenly took a dive. His stunning announcement on July 16 that he was dropping out of the race broke the hearts of his supporters. But in Perot's case, to be gone was not only not to be forgotten but was not to be gone either. Three months later he was back in the race, playing the presidential debates like a drum and attracting huge audiences to his grimly fascinating infomercials. Then he stumbled again, going public just a week before the election with wild allegations that he had withdrawn from the race earlier because he had learned that Republican dirty tricksters had planned to disrupt his daughter's wedding. Yet even that bizarre episode didn't deter 19 percent of the electorate from voting for Perot, making him the most successful third-party candidate since Teddy Roosevelt in 1912.
It is debatable how many of the 19 million people who cast their ballots for Perot did so simply to send a protest. Whatever the case, Perot has said he intends to bankroll his organization, United We Stand, America. And with a personal fortune of as much as $3 billion, it seems unlikely that this gadfly will buzz off anytime soon. As he says, "It's just that simple."

China sends volunteers to Myanmar on IVD
07 November 2005
Guangdong, China: Guangdong Province, on the southern part of China, has started recruiting volunteers to assist neighbouring country Myanmar in its agricultural and sports projects. The first batch of volunteers will leave on International Volunteer Day, 5 December, for their 6-month stint.
The provice is recruiting agrotechnicians and sports professionals, specifically, swimming, weightlifing and badminton.
Guangdong's volunteers association head Huang Qinghui said that the volunteer agrotechnicians are expected to help Myanmar farmers raise silkworms, grow quality grapes and improve other plants' species.
"Ideally candidates are college graduates between 25 and 40 years old and proficient in English," he added.

BELLEVILLE — The wife of a Belleville man who was shot two dozen times by police and killed in his family's apartment after a domestic dispute in July plans to file a multimillion-dollar wrongful death suit against the town's police department, according to court papers.
Belleville police used excessive force and violated Dante Cespedes' civil rights when they opened fire inside the family's apartment on July 9, according to a notice of claim filed in Superior Court in Newark last week.
Prosecutors have said Cespedes lunged at the officers with knives.
The officers were responding to an assault complaint lodged by his wife, Judy Breton, who previously told The Star-Ledger she and Cespedes argued in the hours before the fatal confrontation. Cespedes had been drinking the night of the incident, according to Breton, but prosecutors have not revealed the results of toxicology tests.
Officers Angelo Quinn, Charles Mollineaux and Matthew Dox fired approximately 30 rounds, killing Cespedes, according to court papers. Quinn and Mollineaux each fired 14 times, while Dox fired twice, according to court papers. Cespedes was struck two dozen times, according to the claim. Officer Gary DeVito was also in the apartment, but he did not use his weapon, Belleville Police Chief Joseph Rotonda said.
"I told them just to take him out of the house," Breton told The Star-Ledger in July. "Not to kill him."
The shooting remains under review by the Essex County Prosecutor's Office, and it is unclear if or when the case will be presented to a grand jury.
The timeline of events that led to Cespedes' death remains unclear. The couple began arguing around 11 p.m. on July 8 and, Breton said, Cespedes had been drinking and attempted to hit her.
Breton went to Belleville police headquarters and filed a complaint, and gave officers her keys so they could access the apartment, Rotonda said.
Police and prosecutors have not said if there was a verbal exchange between Cespedes and the officers once they entered the apartment, confirming only that Cespedes lunged at the officers with knives before the fatal shots were fired.
According to court records, Mollineaux and Dox were also named along with several other officers in an excessive force lawsuit filed by a Belleville resident in 2012.
Breton's attorney, Marc Bengualid, said his client has been unable to work since the killing, and is struggling to tell her children what happened.
"It's tough for her. She's a mother with four kids dealing with what happened to her husband," Bengualid said. "There's a lot of guilt and kids asking a lot of questions and a mother without any answers."

• Belleville police shot chef about 25 times during deadly encounter

Let's not get heebie-jeebies over the Hijab
Two days ago I visited St Luke's Hospital in south Dublin for a check-up. Last year I had radiation therapy there for prostate cancer and, thanks to the excellent treatment I got, the tumour seems to have disappeared. I say "seems" because you still need to see your specialist every few months, "to be sure, to be sure". (more…)

I have just started my own quilt top following Sarah's technique and it is a lot of fun. Your quilt is really beautiful, especially the striped fabric combined with vintage roses!
Very, very lovely!
This is absolutely beautiful. The use of grid quilting gives the impression of many many tiny blocks. Great idea. Love your work.
Thanks so much!
Beautiful job, love the rose affect. Did you hand or machine quilt this lovely piece?
It was machine quilted in straight lines, using red thread!
Sew pretty!

(NNPA)—We are experiencing the most insidious assaults on communities of color we've seen in decades. As we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy we are reminded that in times like these we can't honor the sacrifices of our ancestors without standing up for justice today.
The passing of Arizona's racial profiling law, SB 1070, the ensuing ban on Affirmative Action, ongoing attacks on ethnic studies, the Department of Justice's report demonstrating Maricopa's Sheriff Arpaio's culture of racial profiling and inmate abuse, as well attempts to suppress the vote in Arizona and other states stand as evidence of the interconnected issues that threaten the dignity of people of color and the promise of our communities.
Sadly, inhumane immigration and anti-democratic voter suppression laws have been exported to states throughout the nation with varying mutations. Alabama's HB 56 (a copycat of Arizona's SB 1070) and broadside attacks on the Voting Rights Act are testament to that. These laws are harsh reminders of what Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his letter from the Birmingham jail, "… injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere." From Arizona to Alabama—we know that our destinies are intertwined.
Alabama and Arizona are on the tips of many tongues these days. As people who live in these states, we are constantly asked to give voice to the legislative disasters that are happening. Beyond the actual laws, the racist impudence of those who legislate anti-immigrant agendas give license to white supremacist ideologies and individual acts of racism such as when in Alabama, a Latino man (lawfully in the United States) was told he could not make a purchase with his bank card because he did not have an Alabama state issued identification or driver's license.
The rising numbers of hate-crimes in Arizona, since the passing of SB 1070, are afflicting Blacks as well as Latinos. White Supremacist organizations are setting up shop in Arizona—and some have even attempted to launch clubs on university campuses. On Christmas Eve, a cross was even burned on the lawn of an African-American man's home and was a troubling reminder that white supremacist sentiments are still alive.
During times like these, we are compelled to join in the battle against these injustices. The anti-immigrant fight is about us, and the legacy of white privilege. Immigrant rights are principally about racial justice and this also means rights for the rarely discussed Caribbean, African and Afro-Latino immigrant communities in the United States. Correspondingly, the fight against voter suppression and the prison industrial complex is one that immigrants must also be invested in as these laws and current backlash is about their growing power and influence.
Any threats to immigrants should be seen as affront to our collective dignity and to African-American liberation struggles. We must understand that the anti-immigrant agenda is a guise to reverse the gains made by the civil rights movement and divert attention from real crises such as the widening wealth gap between the top one percent and the rest of us.
In Arizona and Alabama, African-American communities are rising up and advocating for immigrant rights and racial justice. New coalitions and communities of resistance are being forged throughout the nation to respond to the multitude of intersecting issues that are afflicting both African-American and migrant communities. As African-Americans recall our own history of systemic family separation, which still plagues our communities today, as well as the diverse resistance, which ushered in civil rights, we know we've never fought alone.
There's a Martin Luther King Jr. within each of us. We are the inheritors of such great freedom fighters such as Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, Ida B. Wells, and Malcolm X. We must courageously take heed the call and not become calloused to injustice.
The time to act is now. To employ the insights and honor the history of our forebears who fought courageously to ensure liberty for all, we must do what is right and combat the ills of our times.

MAPAS computer program spurs drug discovery efforts for neurological diseases.
By Ryan DeBeasi
May 12, 2008 | A new computer program that simulates the binding of proteins to cell membranes could be a boon to researchers investigating Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases, cancer, and other conditions. The software, called membrane-associated-proteins assessment (MAPAS - http://cancer-tools.sdsc.edu/MAPAS/pro2.html), can pinpoint the amino-acid residues that make contact with cell membranes. It was developed by researchers at the San Diego Supercomputing Center and the University of California, San Diego, and described in the February issue of Nature Methods.
Users upload a protein database file to the Supercomputing Center via a web-based interface. MAPAS runs on a high-performance computer at the Center, breaking the protein into regions and simulating the minute electrical forces that cause molecules to bind to one another. In about half a day, the program returns data on whether the protein is likely to bind to membranes and which region of the protein may be responsible for this activity. For each region, there is a list of the residues that make it up and a link to a Java applet that gives a three-dimensional, rotatable image of the region.
Igor Tsigelny, a coauthor of the paper, has used the technology to investigate new ways of treating Parkinson's disease. In a paper last year in the Federation of European Biochemical Societies Journal, he and other researchers investigated a protein called α-synuclein, which has been linked to Parkinson's. In some cases, the protein binds to cell membranes and forms a ring-like complex with other α-synuclein proteins. Tsigelny said that this structure can create a pore in the membrane that allows an influx of calcium ions, killing the cell. MAPAS allowed the researchers to determine which parts of α-synuclein were likely to bind to cell membranes and how complexes of the proteins might be structured.
"Without this technology, we wouldn't be able to do this paper," said Tsigelny.
A related protein called β-synuclein could prevent α-synuclein from forming the ring-like complexes that kill cells, the researchers found, suggesting a drug that mimics the effects of α-synuclein. Tsigelny and others are developing a drug. "We have a couple of good candidates," he said. The binding of small proteins to cell membranes is also implicated in Alzheimer's, cancer, and other diseases. "Mostly you want to destroy this membrane binding," he said, but "there are some specific cases where we want to improve binding."
Tsigelny uses a local interface to MAPAS that allows him to change a few coefficients, but is otherwise very similar to the web-based offering. "I think it's very important for people to have [access to MAPAS]," he said. He added that the web-based interface to the program was made available a month or two before the publication of the Nature Methods paper.
What is the next step for MAPAS? "We need to expand it to different types of membranes," said Tsigelny. He added that most research on proteins analyzes them in solution, not integrated into the membrane or binding to it. "Interphase membrane contact is not explored enough."
The program is in beta, hence its utilitarian interface and the often long wait for results. My first three attempts to use the program failed, which Tsigelny said was due to maintenance at the Supercomputing Center. On my fourth attempt, the program returned a detailed analysis of the micelle-bound α-synuclein file that I had uploaded. (Protein database files can be downloaded from http://rcsb.org).
Tsigelny noted that MAPAS has attracted many more jobs than he expected, and he hopes to speed up processing through parallelization and a faster computer. "These things happen more often than you want," said Tsigelny of the maintenance issues. "Welcome to the supercomputing world."

Neshaminy School District teachers called off their strike Monday "as an act of good faith," and more than 6,000 students will return to school Wednesday.
The 633-member Neshaminy Federation of Teachers offered to return to work Tuesday, but district officials said they needed a day to reopen the 13 schools.
"We're reopening earlier" than the state's Friday deadline, "and I'm happy about that," Board President Ritchie Webb said. "The community should welcome the teachers back with civility, and we can get this school year over with."
The school year has been marked by two NFT strikes that canceled classes for 15 days, and a "work-to-contract" job action that sharply curtailed teachers' preschool and after-school participation.

Rescuers are searching for three Canadians aboard an airplane that's presumed to have gone down in Antarctica.
New Zealand's Rescue Co-ordination Centre is looking for a Twin Otter after signals were received from the plane's emergency locator transmitter.
An American search plane has already flown to where the beacon's signal originated but was unable to spot the downed aircraft.
The beacon is transmitting from the northern end of the continent's Queen Alexandra range.
A second search plane and a helicopter are expected to fly over the site shortly.
Search conditions in the area are considered poor, with heavy cloud cover and increasing winds.

How to Tell if Someone Likes You
Clues, Good and Bad continued...
You might also ask your friends what they think. They may know better than you do.
"Teenagers are really good at recognizing the romantic cues for other people," says John Duffy, PsyD, a Chicago psychologist and teen relationship expert. "They'll tell their best friend, 'Hey, she really likes you, I can tell. You should do something about it.' But when it's about you, all your insecurities come to the surface."
If your friends say "no, that person is not into you," (or "that person is bad news"), listen to them, even though it's not what you want to hear. Trust that they've got your back -- you'd do the same for them.
Flirting 101
If you're sure you like them, and you think they like you, how do you move things forward?
You might try a little flirting. We're not talking about anything scandalous. "Flirting is making the other person feel good about themselves," Zahariades says.
So talk to them. Make eye contact. Ask them questions that get them talking. Pay attention to them.
Always be respectful. You don't want to accidentally make them feel uncomfortable. Don't overdo it. If he or she does not seem comfortable around you, even if you thought they liked you, back off. Sometimes, people change their minds or you may have misread them. No problem -- there are plenty of other people out there who would love to talk to you!
When the person you like is with you, they should feel important to you -- and you both should be feeling good.

Reaffirming Our National Values
President Obama's Meeting with the Dalai Lama
SOURCE: AP/J. Scott Applewhite
President Obama's meeting with the Dalai Lama this week should put to rest some questions about his administration's commitment to human rights in China. The meeting, which happened amid a tense period in the U.S.-China relationship, is a welcome symbol of the Obama administration's dedication to keep human rights on an ever more crowded–and challenging–bilateral agenda.
The meeting with the Dalai Lama added to a growing litany of disagreements currently troubling the U.S.-China relations, including trade imbalances, the recently announced Taiwan arms deal, Internet censorship, and Iran. China reacted predictably to the White House meeting, stating, "China is firmly opposed to Dalai's visit to the U.S. and his contact with the U.S. leadership. Our position is consistent and unequivocal."
A number of follow-up statements also argued that the meeting would invariably hurt U.S.-China relations. Yet disagreements over meeting with the Dalai Lama are not new. Since 1990, every American president from George H. W. Bush to Bill Clinton and George W. Bush has met the Dalai Lama, often multiple times. In each instance, the Chinese government responded in a similar manner.
President Clinton's "drop by" sessions with the Dalai Lama in 1995 and 1997 were met with this statement from the Chinese: "We are strongly dissatisfied with the United States for allowing the Dalai Lama to carry out splittist activities in the United States, and with U.S. leaders for meeting with him." And when President George W. Bush was present at the televised awarding of the Congressional Gold Medal to the Dalai Lama in 2007, the Chinese government called the event a "farce."
Given this history, any other reaction by the Chinese government to the meeting on Thursday would be considered uncharacteristic. But what is different this time is that the issues of Tibet and the Dalai Lama re-emerge at a particularly sensitive moment for China. Between the United States' most recent arms deal with Taiwan, growing international concern about a slew of arbitrary detention of human rights activists, and growing unease of widespread oppression of Tibetan and Uighur activists, the Chinese government is especially sensitive to moves it deems threatening to its sovereignty. This acute sensitivity may explain the harsher statements coming from Beijing recently.
President Obama is aware of this and has followed precedents set by his predecessors, making clear that he recognizes Tibet as a part of China and would meet with the Dalai Lama as a spiritual leader. But President Obama also made clear in word and deed that his administration supports the "preservation of Tibet's unique religious, cultural and linguistic identity and the protection of human rights for Tibetans in the People's Republic of China" and will speak out when China unjustly imprisons human rights activists in China, among them most recently Liu Xiaobo. The meeting's greatest message was that that America will always champion human rights, democracy, and religious freedom around the world.
Thursday's meeting is emblematic of these commitments and an important symbol of America's moral leadership on issues of human freedom. But the hardest part–advancing human rights in China–comes after the meeting. China's human rights conditions have deteriorated significantly over the past couple of years, with greater restrictions on online activities, human rights lawyers and activists, ethnic minorities, and migrant workers.
Unfortunately, America's track record in persuading China to improve its human rights has been tepid at best, and it looks to grow more difficult in light of the growing number of issues on which the United States and China must cooperate. But, as outlined in CAP's report on advancing human rights in China, there are a number of ways that the administration can pursue a productive human rights agenda in China. At the heart of the list is "ignore the rhetoric, don't be distracted, and never give up." And that is exactly what President Obama accomplished yesterday.
