We won "Best Easy Listening Band" for our song "Where Are We Now" in the 2015 Radio Music Awards by Indie Music Channel! http://www.theradiomusicawards.com/easylisteningwins.html
Honored to win "Best Rock Band" in The Indie Music Channel Awards for "Dorothy"! http://www.theindiemusicchannel.com/IMCA3rockwinners.htm
Just made the Top 10 on Broadjam's Rock-Classic Chart with our song "Missing The Turn"!
Wow! Just found out that we've been nominated for "Best Rock Band" in The Indie Music Channel Awards for our song "Dorothy"!
Linda and I are identical mirror twins. I was left-handed, but our Mom was of the old school of thought that it was a right-handed world so she decided that I should become right-handed. I remember having trouble learning to write and tie my shoes(no velcro back then). In fact I blocked it out and spent my whole life thinking that I was right-handed until we went out to the big twins festival in Twinsburg, Ohio and found out that we were mirror twins. Our older sister and Aunt Mary confirmed it when we got back home. I really believe that playing musical instruments saved me from becoming dyslexic. Did you know that playing a musical instrument is the ONLY activity that uses BOTH the left AND right side of the brain? So all you "lefties" out there that think you have to flip the guitar over 'cause you're left-handed, please don't! You were born with an advantage- all the fingering on the neck is done with the left hand. Did you ever see anyone play the violin on their right shoulder instead of their left?
After the fire we set out to replace our equipment. Linda's first bass was a fender precision fretless bass and back in the early 70's they were hard to find. There just weren't a lot of fretless bass players around. The only one we knew of was our friend, "Big Jim" Fegely the violin maker, and he bought a regular bass and took the frets off himself. So we couldn't just walk into any music store and buy one; hence, we ordered one that was supposed to arrive in 3 weeks just before our next job. When we went to the store that morning the owner came excitedly running out the store to greet us- "You'll never believe this! Your bass didn't come in- I couldn't get it because they're so rare they said it would take a year to get it, but the day it was supposed to arrive I got this delivery!" He took us over to a case that contained a fretless bass just like the one she had ordered and proceeded to tell us that he had ordered this bass a year ago- so long ago that he had forgotten he had ordered it, but it just happened to show up on the same day that the one she had ordered was supposed to arrive! Wow...talk about fate....
Our first trip out on the road years ago was with a show band- "The Kenny Charles Show". We left in august that year & were playing 6 nights a week. November we were booked for 3 weeks at a club in Toledo, OH playing 5 nights a week. We thought it was great having 2 nights off instead of 1, but we only got to play 1 night. That night after we were done performing the mafia blew up the club with all our equipment in it! We had just finished paying off our new equipment & had applied for insurance, but the insurance wasn't final 'til the day after the fire so we had to start all over again. A fireman went in what was left of the building(3 walls were still standing) & retrieved an old antique stewart banjo for us- don't know how this was the only thing to survive the fire. Of course it was badly burned & when we got back to our motel we put it in the bath tub. You can imagine what the room smelled like! Eventually our good friend, Jim Fegley, who was an excellent violin maker & restorer repaired it for us. It wasn't even ours. Another good friend, Don Gardener, left us take it on the road. After all that he told us to just keep it. It's hanging on our wall. We learned the hard way to never leave anything behind that you can pack up and take with you 'til the next night! The next story will be how Linda replaced her fretless bass.

Like Father, Like Son
What does Dweezil Zappa have to prove? He's already made a name for himself despite the daunting shadow of his father's legacy. Before he was old enough to vote, Dweezil was an established guitar virtuoso, blossoming briefly into an adorable MTV personality in the late '80s and appearing more recently as the other half of a celebrity cooking couple with ex-girlfriend Lisa Loeb. What the shit was that all about, anyhow? Never you mind all that. The fact is, Dweezil's not done. He's ready to bring Pappy Zappa's sounds to the next generation, and to do so he's teamed up with some mucho talented hombres and one bad-ass-tacular mofo you might otherwise know as one Mr. Steve Vai. That's right, the guy in the David Lee Roth "Just Like Paradise" video who plays that wicked heart-shaped guitar. Yeah, the guy wearing the multicolored spandex unitard that makes him look like a Cher impersonator teaching a Jazzercise class. Whatever, it was the '80s. None of that changes the fact that the dude was behind some of Whitesnake's most killer guitar solos. Zappa Plays Zappa 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Nokia Theatre, 1001 Performance Place in Grand Prairie. Tickets are $42.50 to $69.50. Call 214-373-8000 or visit ticketmaster.com.

Yes. Child support is calculated based on one's available net resources--a much wider net than simply wages. As one Texas court has opined: "the duty to pay support is not limited to an obligor's ability to pay from current earnings, but also extends to his or her financial ability to pay from any and all sources that might be available.

Since becoming a money blogger (um, last week), I've talked more about my personal finances than I have in my whole life. Which is weird. Women talk freely about their boobs, bodily functions, and bedroom antics. So how did money become the last taboo topic? Here are my theories:
Drowning in debt? Do your loved ones know?
Is it just me? Do you guys talk about debt and money with your friends and family? Or do you stick to boobs and such?
p.s. Some of you have asked me finance-related questions in the comments. While I'd love to help, I'm probably not the best person to ask for advice. But Carmen Wong Ulrich (host of CNBC's On the Money), who I met with last night, might be. If you have questions for her, post them below and I'll pass them on.

my left front strut was leaking as a result of an impact . i was looking to just replace the strut and was ready for the work and time required , like compressing the spring , loosening the sometimes hard locking nut ... but Advance had the whole assembly for just a little more than the strut itself . it was a no Brainer !. i brought the assembly . It came with a new spring , new mount and was most of all easy to install .it took me a short time to pull the old one out and and even shorter time to pop the new one in .

Barclays' top bankers will be handed an additional "role-based" pay allowance on top of their salaries and bonuses.
The move comes in the wake of the EU's plans to cap bonuses at 100 per cent or salaries or 200 per cent if a "super majority" of shareholder approve. The bank is planning to seek this approval.
Role-based pay will be set at the beginning of the year, and will be paid in 12 instalments. It is not performance-linked, but the amount to be paid will be changeable based on economic conditions and Barclays' forecasts.
It is understood that regulators and shareholders have been consulted. Sources close to the bank said it was not an attempt to evade the cap because "role-based pay" is not performance-linked or retrospective.
The Government has launched a challenge to the cap, which comes into force next year. However, that will not be ruled upon in time to stop it. Other banks are expected to use similar payments to reward top staff. It is likely the allowance will be handed to fewer than 2000 staff at Barclays.Reuse content

Intermediate Goals (Revision 551)
You've built your Crafting Table, armed yourself with a StonePickaxe and established your first shelter. What's next?
Here's a collection of things in Minecraft that you should experiment with.
See: Smelting
Your Crafting Table is only half of the equation when it comes to Crafting. The other half is the Furnace, which is useful for Smelting. By combining certain Raw Materials with a fuel source in the furnace, you can transform the materials into other, more useful forms. For example, you can smelt Sand to get Glass, and Iron Ore to get Iron Ingot.
EditDress Yourself in Armor
Using materials like Iron, Gold, Diamond and Leather, you can craft Helmets, Leggings, Chestplates and Boots to give your character more combat durability. Check out the Armor portion of the wiki for a complete list of recipes.
EditTransport Water and Lava
Water and Lava can be useful Raw Materials, making for attractive landscape features and providing useful defenses against Mobs. Create a Bucket and you can use it to scoop up still (not flowing or moving) water and lava, allowing you to transport the materials and place them wherever you'd like. Be careful with the lava, mind. You can try to create a cobblestone generator using lava flowing into water.
EditExplore Caves and Mines
Each randomly generated world has various caves and mines build automatically created and ready to explore. Caves and mines are typically unlit, and so will spawn lots of Mobs. Be sure to bring Torches with you.
Caves and mines are good sources of rare Raw Materials. In some mines, you'll find chests stuff with rare items like Melon Seeds.
EditCreate a Portal to the Netherrealm
There's a parallel universe in Minecraft called the Netherrealm. It's a scary place filled with unique Mobs and, more importantly, unique Raw Materials. To get to the Netherrealm you'll need to craft a Portal out of Obsidian, which requires the mixing of Water and Lava. A DiamondPickaxe will help, but check out the Portal page for tips on getting to the Netherrealm without the help of diamond chiseling.
Making a trip to the Nether is certainly not something to be taken lightly, being filled with dangers such as Lava lakes, Zombie Pigmen and Ghasts. However, it does make for a nice challenge.
What you Need: 14 (or 10) Obsidian, Flint and Steel, Diamond Pickaxe
Venturing into the Nether
The Nether is a dangerous place. It is a land filled with cliffs and dangerous lava lakes, but the main danger of the Nether is the Ghast. The Ghast has the ability to shoot fireballs at the player, exploding upon impact and setting things on fire. Refer to the Ghast section for tips on how to deal with them. It is also filled with Zombie Pigmen, which turn hostile once being attacked, so can be easily avoided if left unprovoked.
When in the Nether, currently there is not much to do, but certain items can only be found there. Items such as Netherrack, which can stay alight forever, Soul Sand, which slow down anything that walks over it, and Glowstone, a placeable block that emits light.
In the upcoming 1.9 update, however, the functionality and uses of the Nether will be expanded, with new items, mobs and randomly generated structures
EditFind Diamonds and Other Rare Materials
Dig, dig, dig. You'll find myriad rare Raw Materials by digging deep mines. Different materials become more common the deeper you dig. You'll know you've hit the "bottom" of the world when you reach Bedrock, dark black-and-gray-colored blocks that cannot be destroyed.
Some rare materials to look out for:

Globe University will start classes in October 2012 for a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. If you have an interest in how things are made, why things work, and are always thinking of ways to make things better, this program is for you. Mechanical Engineering Technology is a great opportunity for students who want hands-on practical knowledge in engineering drafting, solid modeling, stress analysis, manufacturing processes and materials, conducting experiments, machine design and overall mechanical design.
Graduates are mechanical engineering technologists, capable of doing much more than drafting. More often titled mechanical designers or design engineers, the graduates will be qualified to work more independently on their own projects with the ability to accept more responsibility and more pay!
This curriculum has been carefully crafted to meet industry needs with the help of Globe's Program Advisory Committee. Classes include Solidworks, Creo, Dimensioning and Tolerancing, Statics, Strength of Materials, Machine Design, Mechanics, Finite Element Analysis, Lean Manufacturing Design and much more. While still based on theory, Globe's courses will focus on the practice of engineering – not the theoretical derivations from calculus and physics. Many courses will include a lab; you will be learning by doing, rather than boring lectures.
This BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology can be started from the beginning – requiring 180 quarter credits or if you have an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Drafting, Industrial Design, Engineering Technology or similar technical field, you can block transfer the AAS degree and take only the last two years of the program (similar to other 2+2 degrees). Transfer specialists at Globe with work with you to see what will transfer.
Often credits from a drafting or technical college will not transfer to a four-year degree. If you have been working as a drafter or technician, this program provides you a chance to continue your education without losing all those credits.
Schedule flexibility includes options during the day and evening, and students can choose to attend full or part-time. There is also an opportunity to incorporate online learning into your schedule.
Interested in finding out more on how to get started towards a BS degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology at Globe University? Call us today at 1-877-303-6060.

A novel by Sharon Ervin
Shamed by her responses to a kidnapper's titillations, Anna Fulenweider, 24, a fair, white freckled-faced newspaper reporter, refuses to talk about the abduction even six weeks later, despite the fact she is plagued by shakes and tremors. Police have not been able to identify, much less capture, the man who abducted the once-haughty reporter and released her 53 hours later, pensive, cowed and unwilling to talk about her ordeal, even to the psychiatrist provided by her employer newspaper. Desperate to undo the psychological damage to his friend and coworker, black news photographer Wesley Stemmons, 32, arranges a meeting between Anna and Wesley's boyhood friend, the irrepressible Joe Marsh. Before her abduction, Anna had interviewed Marsh, long distance, about his development of an ingenious family of tracking devices. He provided her prototypes. When Anna vanished, it was Marsh who activated a satellite tracer from 500 miles away and booted up a receiver in Anna's purse by remote, enabling him to send local police close enough to impel her release. Wesley reluctantly brings Joe and Anna together although fearful the playful playboy, Marsh, and the beautiful, somber Anna will be mutually attracted. Wesley tells Marsh of his own romantic interest in Anna and warns his friend not to complicate things. Marsh is annoyed to find the bright, funny reporter he befriended by telephone timid and subject to occasional, uncontrollable shakes. Determined to help, Marsh coaxes, bullies and cajoles Anna, forcing her to recall her abhorrent experience by fits and starts. His efforts become more complex as the romantic tension between himself and Anna grows and as Stemmons' jealousy mounts. In spite of Marsh's resistance, his interest in Anna takes root and blooms. Being in love with the same woman ignites animosity between Marsh and Stemmons which escalates from uneasy tension to hostility. Still, the men doggedly follow the kidnapping case's cold trail together. Eventually, it is Anna who discovers the culprit and unmasks his age-old motive: unrequited love. Marsh steps up his campaign to prove to Anna, one-on-one, that her very responsive sexual impulses are normal and that sensuality between a man and a woman is a gift, not an affliction.

This structure defines the capabilities of a DirectDrawSurface object. This structure is part of the DDCAPS and DDSURFACEDESC structures.
- dwCaps
Capabilities of the surface. The following table shows the possible flags.
Flag Description
Indicates that this surface contains alpha-only information.
Indicates that this surface is the back buffer of a surface flipping structure.
Typically, this capability is set by the CreateSurface method when the DDSCAPS_FLIP flag is used.
Only the surface that immediately precedes the DDSCAPS_FRONTBUFFER surface has this capability set.
The other surfaces are identified as back buffers by the presence of the DDSCAPS_FLIP flag, their attachment order, and the absence of the DDSCAPS_FRONTBUFFER and DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER capabilities.
If this capability is sent to the CreateSurface method, a stand-alone back buffer is being created.
After this method is called, this surface could be attached to a front buffer, another back buffer, or both to form a flipping surface structure.
Indicates that this surface is a part of a surface flipping structure.
When this capability is passed to the CreateSurface method, a front buffer and one or more back buffers are created.
DirectDraw sets the DDSCAPS_FRONTBUFFER bit on the front-buffer surface and the DDSCAPS_BACKBUFFER bit on the surface adjacent to the front-buffer surface.
The dwBackBufferCount member of the DDSURFACEDESC structure must be set to at least 1 for the method call to succeed.
Indicates that this surface is the front buffer of a surface flipping structure.
This flag is typically set by the CreateSurface method when the DDSCAPS_FLIP capability is set.
If this capability is sent to the CreateSurface method, a stand-alone front buffer is created.
This surface will not have the DDSCAPS_FLIP capability.
Indicates that this surface is an overlay.
It may or may not be directly visible depending on whether it is currently being overlaid onto the primary surface.
DDSCAPS_VISIBLE can be used to determine if it is being overlaid at the moment.
Not supported.
Indicates the surface is the primary surface.
It represents what is seen by the user at the moment.
Indicates that only read access is permitted to the surface. When locking the surface with IDirectDrawSurface::Lock, the DDLOCK_READONLY flag must be specified.
Indicates that this surface memory was allocated in system memory.
Indicates that this surface exists in display memory.
Indicates that only write access is permitted to the surface.
Read access from the surface may generate a general protection (GP) fault, but the read results from this surface will not be meaningful.

The rear door panel on a 2004 Toyota RAV4 is a solid, one-piece panel. It covers the lower half of the rear door below the rear-window glass. Removing the rear-door panel is the only way to get to the inside of the door to repair things like the door assembly, door handle and to remove or add soundproofing material.
Things You'll Need
- Plastic clip removal tool (found at any auto parts store)
Open the rear door as wide as it will go. Use the end of the removal tool to carefully pry up on the bottom-rear corner of the plastic-door panel.
Slide the tool under the edge of the panel to locate the first plastic clip. Press the tool against the clip until the clip is in the center of the tool and snapped into the 'wedge' cut into the tool. Pry the tool up until the clip pops out.
Move along the edge of the panel and remove all of the plastic clips. There are 12 clips in all around the edges of the 2004 Toyota RAV4 rear-door panel and one directly in the center. Remove the center clip last.
Tips & Warnings
- Place the plastic clips into a small container, like a plastic baggy with zipper, to keep them all in one place. This makes them easier to find when reinstalling the door panel.

Legs crossed on a cold basement floor,
Blood stains painting my flesh,
The wounds deeper than ever before,
A white gown now a short black dress.
Long tangled hair clinging to my tears
Wind howling through the trees,
Moonlight painting a sky so clear,
And darling, I'm going to be set free.
My fingers scratch at the blood on my skin,
A delightful pain at the thought of a touch,
And hey, everyone who said I wasn't worth it,
Tell me,

Nordica La Nina Ski Women's
Como se dice, ippin' pow ski that likes to tear up the whole hill from the first bell to the last' Our Spanish is pretty rudimentary, but we're pretty sure the answer is Nordica La Nina. Equal parts light and powerful, sturdy and playful, the La Nina Women's Ski is a fairly fat 113mm underfoot pow first board that's been pressed into Nordica's Powder CamRock profile, so it has floaty, smeary, and pivoty rocker in the tip and tail, along with edgy and aggressive camber underfoot to help you dice hardpack and chunder like a five star snow chef. With fairly large sidecut and short turning radius, especially in the smaller sizes, the La Nina is also seriously nimble, so you can shimmy your way through tight trees and rip high G groomer turns like you're on smaller boards. The La Nina's rippin' is predicated on its Energy CA WI Core, which is composed primarily of energetic and strong poplar and ash wood. These give the ski plenty of snap, while the prepreg laminates and PU stringers help prevent torsional twisting and provide a lively feel that makes the La Nina feel like a smaller ski in tight spots. Full ABS sidewalls direct energy into the steel edges for bomber hardpack grip, and the sintered base lets you take off like a rocket when you're playing a rowdy game of beat the tram to the bottom.

Does anyone know of anyone who is now unable to attend the Reading Half Marathon in March this year? Me and my other half have been training towards this for a couple of months now but didn't realise the entries closed in December (need to be more organised!). If anyone has a couple of places they don't need, we would be more than happy to take them off your hands.
Could you do the Fleet half instead - it still has a few spare places but you'll need to be quick. It's the same day.
Many races don't allow the exchanging of numbers, and I think this the case for Reading.
There are loads of half maras around, have a look in EVENTS above, you'll find another one you could do either the same day, or close.
Fleet is now full, but as Wilkie says, there are other half marathons around the same time including at Maidenhead and Dorney Lake, so may not be too far from you.
There's lots of charity places available as they can submit runners until 22nd February.
We've got some I'm a trustee of Berkshire Phab, but google and you'll find lots of options.
I would be interested in a place for the Reading Half, if you still have a ticket available.
I have a place avaliable, i can no longer go as im in scotland that weekend.
please message me firstname.lastname@example.com
I've got an entry for the blue zone which I won't be using due to a hip injury, if you're interested in buying it then message me at email@example.com
Hey, yes I have a spare place. I live in Manchester and for various reasons cannot now run Reading - gutted, as it was amazing last year! Email me if you are interested - its in the green section firstname.lastname@example.com x
Got your email and have replied! Hope it works xx
A bit late I know, but unable to run this weekend if anyone is looking to run, I'll be in Reading so will be easy to sort out.
ian, I assume that you'rr sorted now.
It's a green one
Hi Late starter, My online registration failed for some reason and I would really like to take the place. Live in Reading so could organise? If it's still available could you please contact me on firstname.lastname@example.com?

The number of centenarians in the U.S. is growing rapidly, according to a newreport from the U.S. Census Bureau. During the 1990s, the ranks of centenariansnearly doubled, from about 37,000 counted at the start of the decade, to morethan an estimated 70,000 today. And analysts at the Census suggest that thisper-decade doubling trend may continue, with the centenarian population possiblyreaching 834,000 by the middle of the next century.
The report, funded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) at the NationalInstitutes of Health, does point out significant problems with information onthe true ages of people 95 and older, though the data are becoming more accuratewith improvements in birth records. But as scientists work to improve dataquality, the trends in the growth and characteristics of the very elderly arenow becoming evident, say NIA experts, as researchers intensify their study ofthis population.
"We are increasingly interested in the lives of these remarkable people," notesRichard M. Suzman, Ph.D., Associate Director of the NIA for Behavioral andSocial Research. "The growing numbers of extremely old people give us theopportunity to examine their lives in more detail. By doing so, we will be ableto discover the genetic, medical, social, and behavioral factors contributing tolongevity and robustness in very advanced age."
Suzman points out that scientists will be watching mortality rates of peopleover 50 very carefully to see if projections about the growth in the elderlypopulation, including centenarians, can be refined. The Census estimates range from projecting a lowof 265,000 centenarians in the year 2050 to a high-end calculation of about 4.2million. Its 'middle series' projection is 834,000.
According to the report, the centenarians share many of the characteristics thatCensus and other researchers have noted for people age 85 and above. Mostsignificantly:
The report is the latest in a series of joint demographic projects by the CensusBureau and the NIA to characterize the elderly population and examine itsdynamic growth in the past and as projected into the next century. It wasprepared by Victoria A. Velkoff, who heads the Aging Studies Branch at theCensus Bureau.
Specifically on the very elderly, the NIA has supported other research projects,including a Massachusetts study of centenarians by Thomas Perls, M.D., M.P.H.,of Harvard University and a study of centenarians in Europe and China by JamesVaupel, Ph.D., of Duke University and the Max Planck Institute in Germany.

Journey to a FortressMature
Sylver urged his horse to go faster.
"Sylver." Aura called the angel sighed and dropped back to his mothers side, the sound of hooves on the dry mud roads was almost overpowering as over a hundred soldiers raced along behind them. Dawn, Tairas and Gabriel's other brother Daryll rode along behind Aura. "My son" Aura said as Sylver levelled with her. "Speed is necessary but haste will get you killed." She informed him.
"Mother, goddess only knows what is happening to him." Sylver had an unpleasant feeling tugging in the pit of his stomach.
"He will be fine" Aura said "Aim will be demasculated if not."
"Mother please let us get there first the soldiers can catch up." Sylver begged.
"My son you are aware that Aim lives in a fortress." Sylver nodded "I may only carry one, two if pushed but if my power is depleted we will not win."
"I know that" Sylver said "but Dawn can take us" Aura looked at him for a moment then turned back to her horse.
"Francis." She ordered the small woman rode closer to her "call a rest stop when we near the SoriLake."
"Yes milady." Francis dropped back and Aura looked at Sylver "we will set up my tent and discuss it properly." She said Sylver nodded.
"Yes mother." He smiled.
The guards followed Francis' instructions to set up a small grey tent that Aura swept into her sons followed her.
"Where is Dawn?" Aura questioned. Tairas left and Dawn felt a tug on his sleeve he turned from the soldiers tales to see Tairas.
"Mother" he said Dawn nodded he was beginning to understand the strange angels single worded requests. He followed Tairas quietly entering the tent he saw Aura, Daryll and Sylver seated on the canvas covered floor. Awkwardly he knelt before Aura.
"Rise my boy" Aura said "this is no time for formality." Dawn sat down beside Sylver "now we have a day and a half of fast riding and at least one horse change before we reach Aim's residence," she informed them "but I have the ability to carry one faster and from what my son tells me you do too" she looked at Dawn "from what was said I believe you can carry two but at a time of great stress, do you believe you can do it again?" Dawn frowned.
"I can try." He nodded.
"Very well" Aura nodded "if not ensure it is Tairas you carry, I am to understand this ability is new to you?"
"Yes milady. I have only used it…" he paused "a few times." Aura looked at him closely then nodded.
"Very well you will carry Tairas, I will carry Sylver." She looked at Daryll. "Keep the soldiers well behaved get to us when you can."
"Yes mother." Daryll nodded and left the tent as Aura gripped Sylver's hand.
"We will meet you there." She smiled at Dawn before her and Sylver vanished. Dawn gripped Tairas' hand he closed his eyes but the stifling tent still surrounded them when he opened his eyes again. Tairas moved and took Dawn's face in his hands looking into Dawn's eyes.
"Gabriel" he said quietly and Dawn tried again but nothing happened, "save Gabriel." Tairas almost shouted it and Dawn fell back into long grass outside the fortress.
"I did it," he grinned Aura smiled down at him and Sylver pulled him up.
"It takes time to get the hang of it" she said amused "especially with passengers." Dawn nodded.
"Yes milady."
"Alright." Aura said she rolled up her sleeves and rubbed her hands together Dawn stepped back as sparks flew up from her fingers. Sylver grabbed him and pulled him backwards as electricity began to crackle around Aura.
"Keep clear and watch carefully." He smiled "this will be impressive."

Where does privacy belong in the college/university ecosystem, and what should its relationship be with security and compliance? Are the three areas best kept separate and distinct? Should there be some overlap? Or would a single office, officer, and/or reporting line enable a big picture of the whole? This article examines several of the campus issues lying at the intersection of privacy, security, and compliance and provides some insight for institutional leaders as they plan strategic directions.1
Privacy, Security, and Compliance:
Basic Definitions
Privacy (noun)
1 a: the quality or state of being apart from company or observation: seclusion
b: freedom from unauthorized intrusion <one's right to privacy>
Security (noun)
1: the quality or state of being secure: as
a: freedom from danger: safety
b: freedom from fear or anxiety
c: freedom from the prospect of being laid off <job security>
2 a: something given, deposited, or pledged to make certain the fulfillment of an obligation
Compliance (noun)
1 a: the act or process of complying to a desire, demand, proposal, or regimen or to coercion
b: conformity in fulfilling official requirements
2: a disposition to yield to others
There are probably as many organizational variations to the areas of privacy, security, and compliance as there are organizations. The authors' home institutions (the Universities of Kansas and Illinois) exemplify this. The University of Kansas positioned the privacy officer within a compliance office answering to the provost's office, with IT security included in the information technology structure through another reporting line to the provost.2 The University of Illinois has combined privacy and security under the CIO on the information technology side of the house. Both institutions have considerable compliance activity vested within and outside of their respective areas.
Not surprisingly, there is not a common organizational design for these functions across higher education. Privacy as an institutional concern is relatively new within colleges and universities, and even though security and compliance are arguably older, the rapid transformation that technology has wrought on information ecosystems has imposed a similarly aggressive evolution in these two areas.
The recognition of privacy as a distinct field in the United States began around the year 2000, with the founding of the International Association of Privacy Professionals, or IAPP. In just over a decade, the IAPP has increased in size to more than 9,000 members in some 70 countries worldwide and now has certifications across jurisdictions (the United States, Canada, Europe), as well as across areas of expertise (government, corporate, information technology).3 Security has existed much longer as a business component, since it involves not just the technical component but also the physical and administrative areas. Most major higher education institutions have a dedicated security staff. Generally tracking the growth of the Internet over the last thirty years, security has matured as a professional field of practice and study, with degrees, conferences, certifications, and an expanding commercial market of products and services. Meanwhile, the compliance function in the educational sphere had evolved over the prior decades as the requirements of law and ethical behavior came together within such far-ranging areas as human and animal subject research, environmental health and safety, and other areas that have laws and regulations that must be met by organizations.
So why does privacy matter to an organization? In 2006, Lauren Steinfeld, chief privacy officer at the University of Pennsylvania, and Kathleen Archuleta, former chief privacy officer for the University of Colorado System, listed the following roles of the chief privacy officer in any organization:
- Champions the issue of privacy within the organization
- Leads or monitors major compliance initiatives around global, federal, and local privacy laws
- Assists in assessing privacy-related risks throughout the organization and promotes strategies to mitigate these risks through the development and implementation of infrastructure, standards for the collection, use, and sharing of personal information, vendor requirements, training, and other appropriate mechanisms
- Participates as a key team member in responding to and managing incidents resulting in the loss or potential compromise of personal data by the organization or its service providers
- Serves as the organizational point of contact for individuals, internally and externally, who have questions about privacy policies and practices4
Further, "privacy is essential to establishing and maintaining trust. If customers, clients or employees believe that their personal information will be handled respectfully, in an open and transparent manner, with strong, reasonable safeguards, and made accessible to them at their request, this fosters trust and a continued positive relationship can be expected. If customers are typically considered a business' greatest asset, then their personal information must be considered one as well. Organizations will want to build and protect their assets, and personal information, as an asset, is no different. An accountable organization can demonstrate to customers, employees, shareholders, regulators, and competitors that it values privacy, not only for compliance reasons, but also because privacy makes good business sense."5
Privacy as a Security or Compliance Function
Increasingly, privacy officers today hold a law degree (JD) and thus are able to understand and apply the patchwork of laws and regulations to information management. In addition to having this legal viewpoint, many privacy officers are champions for the protection of individual privacy; they act as advocates for the inclusion of privacy as a critical facet when designing and advising on digital identity within the campus ecosystem. Other privacy professionals view their position as one of regulatory compliance, strongly defining the contours of the privacy domain.6
Additional data provided by the IAPP confirms that regulatory compliance is a dominant driver in organizations that are increasingly funding a privacy role within an institution. A close second is the organizational effort to avoid data breach and the expensive and time-driven notification process of the affected individuals and government oversight agencies. On the other hand, it is easy to see these two drivers as variations of one another.7
How is the privacy office function shaped by the decision to place it in the compliance office, in the legal office, or in a reporting structure combined with information security? There are many able and enthusiastic advocates for placing personal privacy in both the compliance and the legal offices of higher education institutions, yet it is easy to imagine this having a limiting (or chilling) effect on the scope of the privacy function. This is particularly true within U.S. institutions, since the United States lacks a mature, contemporary regulatory framework for privacy and since the legal structure is long engrained in the organization. Ensuring compliance within the patchwork of federal, state, and accompanying regulations or standards pertaining to security benefits the individual. Nevertheless, based on the IAPP 2012 survey, the role of the privacy officer has increasingly moved toward avoiding liability, rather than focusing on the individual or on the larger community desires.
Privacy, Security, and Compliance in Conflict
As those of us who work in security and compliance know, there is a strong delineation between the two areas. We may be completely satisfied that a third party—for example, Amazon—runs a very tight ship regarding security within its storage environment.8 Yet without contractual assurances, a higher education institution cannot agree to the storing of regulated data (e.g., FERPA or HIPAA data) within that environment. This leads to various cases that lie at the boundaries between privacy, security, and compliance. We will discuss three: IP address tracking and web browsing; mobile device/application management technologies; and security cameras and video technologies.
IP Address Tracking and Web Browsing
As techniques for monitoring networks, workstations, and campus activities have become more sophisticated, the quandary of the privacy/security/compliance position requires reassessment. In one simple example, over the last six years at the University of Illinois, we have observed that malware has shifted from relying on e-mail as the dominant method of distribution to utilizing web-based attacks.9 Users are often innocent victims: they are not clicking foolishly on e-mailed phishing links but, rather, are clicking on ads or links on major news and sporting outlets that have been compromised. To better forensically understand these attacks, we increasingly collect—either from intrusion-detection systems or system-management agents—the web-browsing history of our users.
Obviously, this information is treated with the utmost confidence and security. Only authorized staff who are researching specific incidents may access it. Nevertheless, the reality is that such information can lead to the feeling that both institutional privacy and personal privacy have been breached. This is true even in the context of policies stating that campus equipment and services are involved and that no privacy is guaranteed when working to maintain the overall system security. Yet for example, the data gathered and accessed may reveal the ratio of visits to Democratic or Republican websites from an administrative building or may reveal which personnel are visiting sites indicative of certain medical conditions or sexual orientation—data that most would agree is universally private or personal information.
As our work and our lives are thoroughly mediated by technology, the invisible breach of this personal space, albeit done with good intentions, must raise concerns. The security professional might rightfully argue that this information is increasingly essential to fulfilling professional responsibilities. Although academia frowns on the idea of intruding into personal space and filtering10 or collecting information from these resources, in the security environment the methods may be necessary to gather information to fend off current and future attack vectors. The compliance officer might well acknowledge that these resources are legal and even necessary to maintain the requirements for an institution. Only the privacy officer, in his or her role as advocate, might actively challenge the use of these tools as being too invasive to personal freedoms and might recognize the risk to the level of trust or transparency that the institution provides to the community. Does this conflict of interest or duality of roles prevent someone who is vested with the role of privacy and security or the role of privacy and compliance from succeeding in this role?
Mobile Device/Application Management Technologies
Although the world of laptops has long challenged higher education institutions, that challenge has migrated to smaller mobile devices with greater computing power. There is exponential growth in these devices with the Android, Symbian, Windows, and other operating systems prevalent on smart phones and tablets. Colleges and universities face the challenge of containing and retaining information within their sphere of control while employees clamor for their own device of choice—known as "BYOD" or the "consumerization of devices."11
Mobile device management (MDM) and mobile application management (MAM) technologies entered the playing field as another compliance solution to reduce the inevitable data and device loss. These program consoles or applications provide the institution with a picture into the life of the device owner/user, with access to review the location of the device (or the holder), the application inventory (e.g., Mobile Application Inventory from MobileIron), and restrictions on travel (e.g., Geo-Fencing from Zenprise,) and content (e.g., Mobile Content Management from AirWatch). The issue becomes the necessity of the institution to employ reasonable and available tools to track not only the devices but also the device applications that are placing the information at risk, versus the user's inherent privacy rights to avoid these intrusions on a personally owned device.
MDM technologies can literally view every application on an enrolled device and wipe ("brick") the device if it is reported missing by the owner or the assigned guardian of the device. MAM technologies are not device-centric but are based on a restriction of applications for the security of institutional data on a mobile device. How does an institution balance the privacy right of the individual against the use of such invasive tools, especially if the privacy and security officers are housed in the same office or represented by the same person? Yet the privacy and security personnel must maintain a functioning, working relationship and must not work independently in separate, segmented silos.
Security Cameras and Video Technologies
No other surveillance technology suggests "big brother" with as much immediacy as do security cameras. Yet in response to a growing demand for greater physical security on campuses, security camera usage is expanding significantly. At the University of Illinois–Urbana campus, the number of security cameras has grown from zero to nearly 1,000 in a period of 18 months. Similarly the University of Kansas campus has hundreds of cameras, inside and outside, to enhance the security of students and staff. To address privacy concerns, the University of Illinois–Urbana security camera policy was written with a number of common prohibitions on camera use and location.12 Three of these are paraphrased as follows:
- All locations with security cameras will have signs displayed that provide reasonable notification of the presence of security cameras.
- Security cameras may not be used in private areas, which include residence hall rooms, bathrooms, shower areas, locker and changing rooms, areas where a reasonable person might change clothes, and private offices. Additionally rooms for medical, physical, or mental therapy or treatment are private. Where security cameras are permitted in private areas, they will to the maximum extent possible be used narrowly to protect money, real or personal property, documents, supplies, equipment, or pharmaceuticals from theft, destruction, or tampering.
- Security camera recordings may not be used in the course of personnel investigations such as those related to (but not limited to) workplace attendance or work quality.
These typical controls are found in many such policies and are similar to those found at the University of Kansas.13 First, individuals want to know when they are being monitored, thus the notification provision. Covert activity not only makes people uncomfortable; it may also create a feeling that they are being treated like children or criminals. Second, people have a culturally innate sense of a "personal" or private space that should not normally be breached. Still, is the "right to be left alone" the prevailing concern? Privacy is not specifically provided in the U.S. Constitution or in any of the subsequent 27 amendments. Justices Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis discussed the definition and common law that created the right to privacy in their 1890 Harvard Law Review article: this and the subsequent case law provide the legal basis for our concept of privacy today.14 Finally, although many employees understand that the workplace and the equipment are provided by their employer, the work environment is nevertheless, for many employees, a kind of extension of personal space. Monitoring that space is seen as evidence of mistrust.
There is an intimacy associated with physical observation; as social creatures, we vary our behavior (and its expression through language) according to social context. Cameras create a kind of ambiguous social context and, thus, discomfort; but cameras may also provide people with a false sense of security that they are being protected by monitoring—which may or may not be occurring on a 24/7 basis. Several questions then arise: What security and privacy structure allows an institution to benefit from the very real physical safety that security cameras may provide, without creating an uncomfortable or even Orwellian environment? Further, what should the institution do with the information recorded, as far as storage, sharing, secondary use, and disposition? Finally, do these records then become subject to view by public colleges and universities with open-records requirements?
Privacy and Organizational Structure
All higher education institutions face similar or even identical challenges, yet how colleges and universities are organized strongly reflects a type of institutional character. A strategy that works at Illinois or Kansas may fail spectacularly at another campus, due to differences in expertise, personalities, or resources. Nevertheless, an examination of the following issues may lead to locally relevant solutions:
- Does it make sense for endless varieties of compliance challenges to be housed together? Can the institution truly and meaningfully bring together research integrity (e.g., conflict of interest, contract compliance, FISMA, scholarly conduct), human subjects (e.g., IRB, HIPAA), animal safety (e.g., IACUC), life safety (e.g., environmental health, radiation, occupational health), employee accessibility, diversity, risk management, internal audit, and so forth?
- What about the silo effect of these numerous campus groups if they remain separated physically and in reporting lines? Secure data handling and data privacy regulations are frequently housed in differing parts of an organization, and in practice, authority flows from these differing parts and they may report up through differing structures. Most security officers (housed in information technology), as well as privacy officers (housed in numerous locations from audit to compliance to stand-alone offices), are familiar with the challenge of trying to address data security and privacy with researchers who are used to working under the domain of a vice chancellor for research.
- Can the institution afford to not fund separate and distinct privacy, security, and compliance functions? Given the growing tangle of privacy legislation, the nuances associated with breaches may require cleaving off privacy from security. One need look no further than HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) or PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standards) to find where "good security" is inadequate to prevent significant fines for non-compliance.15
- Wherever and however these varied and various duties are housed, do they have access to the top of the structure—be that the president, chancellor, or board of regents/trustees? With all of these approaches, access to the top and to the change resources that can improve or mitigate circumstances must be a consideration. Will the positioning of these groups—either separately in departments that report up differing chains or combined but still not reporting directly to the top—restrict their effectiveness? What role does an institution want its external or public relations staff to have in responding to breaches, and can that staff override the privacy or security voice in decision-making?
Nurturing healthy privacy, security, and compliance functions is a balancing act. Integration of the three areas can result in conflicting missions, whereas decoupling them can make it difficult to ensure a cohesive institutional strategy. Each higher education institution must find its own balance, calibrated according to its organizational structure.
In the end, privacy is key—wherever it finds a home in an institution. It is a unique need that must be considered as a distinct component of the institutional mission. Privacy, in its purest form, is an expression of respect for our communities: individuals are informed of what data is being collected about them and what is being done with that data, and they are assured that they have some control over what happens with their information. By complying with regulations and securing data, we can show our respect for students, staff, and the broader higher education community.

Allegretto had his eyes set on Polka but what happens when a certain pink haired kunoichi enters his world and brings a stoic Uchiha with? Slight ItaSaku. Will the two ever get back home to the shinobi world? Humor/Mystery
When our worlds collided,
I thought it was a tragedy.
But when I met you,
I accepted it as a blessing.
Infiltrate the Akatsuki base, not that hard, right?
Thanks a lot Tsunade-sama for giving me this god awful mission. Why did I even accept this? There was a 30% chance of me ever returning to Konoha, but I still accepted it because Tsunade-sama was so persistent on how she knew I could do it. I had beaten the odds when I surpassed my ex-teammate's status, who by the way was Uchiha Sauske, a rouge shinobi to this very day. He left Konoha about seven years ago, when I was twelve.
Even though I was a captain of the ANBU, I, Haruno Sakura, managed to get captured by the Akatsuki, specifically the stoic Uchiha Itachi and his easy going partner, Hoshigaki Kisame.
"Pinky, you know you quite amusing," Kisame sneered at me, seeing how I couldn't move because I was under some sort of temporary paralysis jutsu. "Oh? How so, fish stick?" I stuck my tongue out at him. He had no right to call me 'pinky'.
He huffed and continued talking to Itachi, who kept one of his Sharingan activated eyes on me like a hawk.
"Oi Itachi, you should use that new jutsu on pinky here, and teach her a lesson." Itachi perked up a bit after his partner mentioned 'new jutsu'. "Leader-sama told me to never use that jutsu, you know that Kisame."
"What? Can't use a jutsu because your almighty Leader-sama told you so? Pathetic." Itachi narrowed his eyes at me. If I was going to die, I wanted to have fun at least.
"Haruno, I suggest you learn your place before I put you in it," Itachi mumbled.
I laughed softly,"Ooh, so scary Uchiha. I thought the almighty Itachi could use any jutsu he wanted, guess not." My back was propped up against a tree, because we (well they) were taking a break before we headed back to their main base in Ame, I assumed.
He simply 'hn'd' at me, then Kisame rolled his eyes at me.
"You gonna let that kunoichi trash talk ya, Itachi?" Kisame stood up from his sitting position.
"Calm down, Kisame. She's simply trying to provoke us." Itachi said as he ate another piece of dango.
"Can't take a threat fish stick?" I laughed a bit louder than last time. "You're in no position to be laughing, kunoichi."
Itachi stood up and walked over to me, the pinwheels in his eyes spinning around viciously.
"Yusō no jutsu!"
Both Itachi and Sakura's bodies went limp, sending Kisame to freak out. He grabbed his partner before he could fall to the ground. Taking the kunoichi also with him, he continued back to Ame, in hopes that 'Leader-sama' could fix this. He didn't actually think Itachi would use it.
The orange haired Leader was already having an awful day before Kisame pounded down his office door, and tossing two bodies on the floor, talking two hundred miles per minute.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. He used that jutsu?"
He stood up from his relaxed position, with a frown on his face. Didn't he specifically tell Itachi to never use it? The Leader sighed and returned to his seat, observing his passed out member and pink haired kunoichi on the floor.
"What happened to them Leader-sama?"
"They were most likely sent to an alternate universe of some sort. Summon the Hokage, we need to fix this, and fast."
Mineral powder was no longer the issue, it was guiding Polka back to health that was.
"Will she be alright Claves?" An agitated Allegretto paced back and forth in the makeshift bed they made inside a nearby cave.
"Yes, she will. She may have amnesia when she awakens though," Claves noted as she put a wet washcloth over Polka's forehead.
"Why did she have to do that? Claves, doesn't she realize-"
Allegretto was cut off by a sudden punch to the back.
"How's she doing," Beat curiously asked. "Are we going back to Ritardando, Allegretto?"
The silver haired man nodded at his curious companion. "After Polka wakes up, we will."
"Stupid Uchiha-teme! What did you do this time?"
The trio in the cave questioned what the noise was, and Allegretto and Beat left the cave.
A pink haired girl and jet black haired man were having some sort of heated argument outside of the cave. The girl looked like she was going to kill the man, who wore the same 'poker' face that Frederic always wore, that was before the group beat him up and sent him back to reality, forever disappearing from this world. Polka jumped off the cliff to save him, and where did that send her? Into Allegretto's wrath, that's where. It's no secret to anyone (except Polka) that he cares for her. And when she did that, the silver haired fighter was red with anger and frustration.
"You just had to use that jutsu, didn't you? Now we're not even near Konoha or Ame! Where the heck are we?" The pink haired girl yelled at the man who seemed to be in thought.
The girl looked over at the trio and sighed, walking over to them.
"Excuse me sir, could you tell me how far away we are from Ame?"
"Uhh, is that near Ritardando, Allegretto," Beat asked.
'Ritardando? Where am I?'
"I'm sorry miss, I've never heard of 'Ame'," Allegretto assured the pink haired traveler.
"Ok, well what about Konoha?" She bit her lip nervously. Everyone knew where Konoha was, shinobi and non-shinobi alike.
"Lady, I've never heard of Konoha," Beat said as he tilted his head in curiosity.
She looked back over to the jet black haired man, who slowly made his way over to the group. "Are you a shinobi?" Itachi asked the silver haired man.
"What's a shinobi?" he replied.
"Are you two on mineral powder or something?" Beat asked, but then was bonked on the head by his older friend.
"I think we're in an alternate dimension, Haruno."
"NO REALLY?" The pinkette was freaking out.
"What do you call this place anyways," the girl asked. "Were about 5 miles away from Ritardando," a lady with purplish-pink hair said. "Hello you two, my name is Claves. Are you lost?"
The pinkette nodded. "My name is Sakura, and his name is Itachi. I don't think you'll believe this, but were from a different world, and we need to get back, as soon as possible."
The three took a step back from the world travelers.
"Way to go, Haruno," Itachi sighed.
She gave a death glare to the un-amused man. "Shut up Uchiha-teme! This is your entire fault!"
Sakura tried to give a chakra-infused punch to the ground, but she mysteriously had none.
"What the? Why is my chakra gone?" Sakura gasped in fear. Itachi attempted to make a clone, but that didn't work either.
"Worse enough, we ended up in a universe that doesn't use chakra," Itachi mumbled.
Sakura slapped her forehead in frustration.
"Sakura, Itachi, your welcome to stay with us until you figure out a way back home," Claves graciously said after putting a reassuring hand on Sakura's shoulder.
"Thank you so much Claves," Sakura breathed outwardly. At least she would be with a native of this world. A nice one too.
"But aren't you and Jazz going to go back to Andante?" Beat asked as he stepped forward.
"I'm sure they wouldn't mine traveling a bit, would you?"
Itachi finally spoke, "Not at all. Thank you for your hospitality, Claves."
Sakura glared at the Uchiha. "Stupid teme, using a forbidden jutsu." She huffed and followed Claves back to the cave, and so did everyone else, since it was large enough to house twenty people.
A small, blonde haired girl was sleeping when they entered the cave.
"This is Polka, I believe she's your age, Sakura," Claves said.
"My name's Allegretto, and this is Beat, nice ta meet ya," Allegretto said with a cheery smile.
'He reminds me of Naruto,' Sakura thought with a bit of blush on her face.
She waved hello at the two, and Itachi simply 'hn'd'.
"Don't mind him, he's just a teme," Sakura said with a quiet laugh.
"What's a teme?" Beat asked, words filled with excitement for reasons unknown.
Sakura enviously bit her lip, "Um, never mind. He's just a jerk," she said adding a nervous laugh at the end.
"Watch it Haruno. We may not have chakra but that doesn't mean I can't pound you," Itachi said eyeing the pinkette who simply stuck her tongue out at him.
"Do you to use mineral or flower powder," Claves asked sweetly.
"Never heard of it. We use chakra," Sakura replied.
"Chakra?" Allegretto asked.
Sakura explained to the trio what 'chakra' consisted of, spiritual and physical energy. Adding simple facts about chakra points and the different types of things you could do using chakra as well.
The three were astonished by this 'chakra'.
After the travelers explained what predicament they were in, the three finally understood.
"Leader-sama and I'm assuming the Hokage, are probably working on a reverse jutsu as we speak. But we should try to figure out something as well, Haruno."
The pinkette nodded, and returned her gaze to Polka.
"If I had my chakra, I could heal her with my ninjutsu," Sakura said adding a sigh at the end.
"Claves, I wonder what would happen if they tried using flower powder?" Allegretto asked, pulling out some from his many pockets.
"Should we chance it, Allegretto?"
"I'd try it if it meant I could use my chakra somehow," Sakura added and Itachi agreed.
Beat handed the two the flower powder, and something astonishing happened.
Their chakra intensifies, and the two regained their chakra fully.
"Itachi," Sakura looked over at the man," do you-?"
He nodded. And the two breathed easy.
"It worked. How odd," Claves said as she looked over to Polka.
"I'll try to heal her now," Sakura said after she saw Claves nod.
Her hands illuminated with an odd green light as she moved her hands towards Polka's head. "She'll be fine, and will approximately wake up in four hours. From the looks of the fall she took, she will have a slight case of amnesia, but it will dissipate within a day or two."
"Man, I want some of this 'chakra'," Beat said with an enthusiasm.
"If we use chakra, what do you use?" Sakura asked. They surely didn't just rely on this 'flower' or 'mineral' powder.
The three looked at each other before Allegretto looked at Sakura.

There have been lot of speculations in media that everything is not fine between mega brothers Chiranjeevi and Pawan Kalyan. However, in Attarintiki Daredi Thanks meeting, Pawan Kalyan has mentioned his 'Annayya's name more than twice. He said that after his parents and Anna-Vadina, fans are everything for him. While speaking about the bond he has with his co actors, Pawan Kalyan told that he knows MS Narayana from very long.
"I know MS Narayana garu from the days he was not introduced as an actor. He used to work as writer and he and me used to prepare stories for Chiranjeevi garu. He rejected all our stories, but even then we shamelessly wrote more and more to impress him. But all our pains were in vain as Chiranjeevi didn't like them," Pawan said on a lighter note. Pawan Kalyan said that story writing is the biggest task in film making. He lauded Trivikram for penning a beautiful script like Attarintiki Daredi.
"Trivikram worked on AD script for three years. He developed the story for three years and made what it is today. This film is very close to my heart. I have been waiting for such script from many years. Finally Trivikram came up with this script and we knew that this film is going to be a big hit. We had positive feeling about the film and always felt that we are making a very good movie in the under production stage itself," Pawan said.

Reflection Nebula IC426
IC 426 is a reflection nebula in the constellation of Orion. Reflection nebulae often look a ghostly bluish color because they reflect scattered light from bright stars nearby (the red light is absorbed by dust in the nebula). Mintaka, the westernmost star in the belt of Orion, is thought to be the star illuminating IC 426.

Liver Ischemia and Ischemia–Reperfusion Induces and Trafficks the Multi-specific Metal Transporter Atp7b to Bile Duct Canaliculi: Possible Preferential Transport of Iron into Bile

Both Atp7b (Wilson disease gene) and Atp7a (Menkes disease gene) have been reported to be trafficked by copper. Atp7b is trafficked to the bile duct canaliculi and Atp7a to the plasma membrane. Whether or not liver ischemia or ischemia–reperfusion modulates Atp7b expression and trafficking has not been reported. In this study, we report for the first time that the multi-specific metal transporter Atp7b is significantly induced and trafficked by both liver ischemia alone and liver ischemia–reperfusion, as judged by immunohistochemistry and Western blot analyses. Although hepatocytes also stained for Atp7b, localized intense staining of Atp7b was found on bile duct canaliculi. Inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometry analysis of bile copper, iron, zinc, and manganese found a corresponding significant increase in biliary iron. In our attempt to determine if the increased biliary iron transport observed may be a result of altered bile flow, lysosomal trafficking, or glutathione biliary transport, we measured bile flow, bile acid phosphatase activity, and glutathione content. No significant difference was found in bile flow, bile acid phosphatase activity, and glutathione, between control livers and livers subjected to ischemia–reperfusion. Thus, we conclude that liver ischemia and ischemia–reperfusion induction and trafficking Atp7b to the bile duct canaliculi may contribute to preferential iron transport into bile.
