Resident Assistants (RAs)
Resident Assistants are full time students who serve as peer mentors, organize events and enforce policy. They help maintain a conducive study and living environment for approximately 30-35 students. They are knowledgeable about the college, its resources and personnel, and are available to counsel students on their residence floor. RAs are students carefully selected for their leadership and communication skills. They receive training in problem-solving and emergency response. Their academic performance is also considered in the selection process. If students have questions or problems, they should consult first with their RA. RAs are also required to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.25 and have a clean disciplinary record.
The Resident Assistant (RA) position is an exciting opportunity available to students that will help you grow and discover your inner leadership potential. As an RA you will gain valuable experience working on a staff, building a community in your residence hall, mediating conflicts, and planning programs all while improving yourself for future employment opportunities. Please take a few minutes to read over the information below and feel free to contact us if you have any questions!
Please Keep in Mind
1. You must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.25 as a student of SUNY Delhi. Resident Assistants' GPAs are checked at the end of every semester for continued eligibility.
2. In order to be eligible to work as a Resident Assistant, you must be in good judicial standing. Students not in good judicial standing are still eligible to apply for a Resident Assistant position and can be offered a position once they return to a good judicial standing.
Night Hosts (NHs)
Night Hosts are student employees who monitor the main entrances of the residence halls during the late hours of the evening. This provides for increased safety and security to all students living in the residence halls. Night Hosts direct residents' guests to sign themselves in and out of the residence halls and notify University Police and Residence Life staff in case of emergencies.
Sustainability Advocates (SAs)
Sustainability Advocates are residential student employees who are hired by the Office of Residence Life to promote sustainability in the residence halls. They do so by actively educating students through programming and passively educating students through marketing.

We found the old coal bin in our basement, and it was full of bituminous coal. Who knows how long it's been there, and somehow the previous owners neglected to share that it was there, under all of the junk they left behind that was stored on top of it.
We've given 1/2 of it away, but there's still approximately a 3x3 square foot area full of it. If you can haul it, you can have it. Location: Essex County, NJ. Please email sarahspag (at) gmail (dot) com if you are interested.

Although, the iPhone 4 has been the main headline puller recently, it would also appear that Android smartphones and new releases have also been hitting the news. With a leaked video of the Droid 2 plastered across the internet, it would appear that there are now more leaks but this time from the Samsung Galaxy Pro.
Android Central have revealed the 'supposed' specs of the Galaxy Pro from their trusted sources.
Positioned as the next 4G phone set for Sprint, Android Central have reported that the Samsung Galaxy Pro will include gorgeous 4-inch, 800 x 480 window on the Galaxy S, a QWERTY slider with raised keys, front-facing VGA camera, 5 megapixel back camera with 720p video recording capabilities, WiMAX support, and Android 2.1 with some TouchWiz 3.0 customizations.
The only drawback is the design as it has been revealed that the phone does look a little plastic, however if you're not to bothered about its physical attributes then this phone's rumoured specs are likely to give the EVO 4G a run for its money. Until then we'll keep you posted on more news and leaks as and when they arrive…

Howard had little to do against the Norwegian club. His only scare came in stoppage time when a goal was disallowed for a shove on Tim Howard by Eirik Bakke.
Second-half goals by Leon Osman and Victor Anichebe gave Everton a comfortable cushion going into next week's second leg at Goodison Park.
Everton is out of the two English cup competitions but is aiming for a berth in UEFA Champions League qualifying next season. It is currently fourth in the English Premier League.

Officials: Fines ignored, unpaid
City Council candidate for Ward 2, Caleb Grant spoke at the Federated Republican Women of Chaves County public forum held on Feb. 19. He revealed that there are nearly $1.2 million in fines outstanding from Municipal Court.
Grant told the Daily Record: "The police chief brought it up on Feb. 13 (at the last City Council meeting)."
Grant did investigations of his own, requesting the most current list of outstanding fines from Municipal Court records. "To be precise, there's $1,148,627.50 owed to the city in unpaid fines."
Variations in the figures illustrate that unpaid fines accrue daily.
"As of July 2013, there were $1,086,00 in outstanding fines (compared to the $1.2 million reported in February)," said City Councilor Jason Perry.
According to Grant, about $703,000 are 180 days past due. "Some date back to the 1980s," he said.
His statistics come from a 141-page report, and of the 141 pages, 105 pages originated in the last five years, Grant said.
Municipal Court deals with low-level crime, while Magistrate and District Court deal with felony offices. Roswell Police Deputy Chief Brad McFadin explained that Municipal Court has jurisdiction over misdemeanor crimes, such as traffic citations, possession of marijuana under an ounce, graffiti and criminal damage under $500, shoplifting and larceny under $250, and other thefts under $500.
"Repeat offenders are not being held accountable. They know [auth] they will be out in few hours. It's a cycle. People need to be held accountable for their acts," said Grant. "There have got be consequences. If there's no accountability, then there's a message that you can get away with it."
One of the problems is that, if the original fine is not paid, further fines are issued by the court. Perry said the current system of fines added to fines is not working.
"They're getting fined $300, then when they don't pay, a $150 fine is added and then another $200. Mind you, I'm not saying everyone should go to jail. You have the granny who takes a medication and then misses a stop sign, but I would dare say the average offender offends 11 times before he (or she) goes through true corrective action."
The figures come from a study completed by RPD Chief Phil Smith.
"We looked at 100 people. Forty percent went to jail. Six out of 10 did not. We looked at a sampling of 20, those not serving jail time."
Going back two years, Smith found that offenders re-offended 11 times before they were incarcerated.
He acknowledges the study is not a comprehensive one. "Perhaps, if we looked at a wider base or went back for a longer time period, the results would have been different."
Perry viewed the problem in terms of the budget; funds are allotted to house offenders. In 2013, the Council allotted $350,000 of the fiscal budget to the corrections fund.
He said $222,055.58 were paid out from the corrections fund, compared to the $350,000 budgeted.
"That means 36.5 percent of the budgeted corrections fund were not used."
Perry said that the Council would never take money away, but no further funds would be added as long as they are not being used.
The most recent figures appear to indicate that more money is spent this year. He said $156,054 were used so far this year. "We've got four to five more months to go."
In 2013, the Roswell Police Department answered 55,214 calls for service. Often, these calls and subsequent arrests are dealing with repeat offenders.
Smith explained: "Five percent of the criminals are responsible for 95 percent of the headaches and low level crime constitutes 83 percent of the calls.
Grant did a ride-along with the Street Crimes Unit. He was impressed with the recently re-formed department.
"They know the repeat offenders. He (Smith) is looking at it from the arrest side. I'm looking at it from the money side."
The Council often wonders if the police department has enough officers, but Smith credits the turnover not to lack of pay, but to lack of support by the courts.
"How important and how valuable are the police officers in this city to ask them to repeat their efforts 11 times with the same offenders? How cost effective to the community?"
He takes a more hard line approach to the issue of jail. "Once they don't pay the fines or do the community service, lock them up. You're not going to force them to pay. When incarceration becomes a threat, they won't blow off fines or community service."
Collections is another issue. "Of the outstanding fines, $138,096 were collected. This money goes to pay municipal court secretarial staff and the rest went to reimburse the corrections fund. That means $378.34 a day collected went into the correction fund by those who were doing the offending," Perry said.
No system exists to collect unpaid fines. Bench warrants for nonpayment can be issued for arrest. These meet with variable results.
The RPD issues 164 warrants every month and the majority are for failure to appear, failure to pay fines, or failure to comply with the conditions of probation and parole.
When it comes to collections, Perry said: "If we could just get a hold of those fines, it would pay to incarcerate offenders for 2.5 years (without adding to the budget)."
However in setting up a system of collection, the Council would have to look at what other communities are doing.
An alternative exists to stretch the corrections fund budget. CCDC estimates that it takes about $65 to keep a prisoner in their facility. The city has a contract with a facility in Texas. The contract was arranged by Judge Hector Penida. The cost per day is $33.
Smith said: "It costs half that amount to send them to Texas."
The facility is three hours away, but the Spur facility transports the prisoners. It is more strict.
"As out of state prisoners, they aren't allowed to receive visitors or have access to the canteen," McFadin said.
Officials believe the Spur facility is an under utilized resource. All agree that the goal is to get offenders off the street. Grant described a cycle were petty offenders gain confidence when fines and community service can be ignored, graduating from misdemeanor to felony offenses. Smith spoke of the drain on officer morale and financial resources. Perry pointed to the fiscal perspective, saying simply that "something is wrong."
All said that crime would drop if repeat offenders were held responsible for their crimes. According to Smith, if six people get off with fines, it has a knock on effect resulting in 66 crimes.
"I'm not trying to make trouble for anybody. I'm just trying to answer the questions from the Council and the people. Two questions: One, what to do about the crime rate and, two, do we have enough officers? People often ask why are criminals returned to the streets and why can't we do anything about it. The police and the courts are separate. We produce our case. It is up to the courts to prosecute."
It again comes down to quality of life issues. Perry said: "If we can stop misdemeanor offenses, how much better off would Roswell be?"
(No figures were available from Magistrate or District Courts.)

Thanks alot for your time much appreciated.
The theme is from Woothemes and I asked for this simple help and they tried to charge me as a developer needed to look at it!
I have bought the Developer theme pack for Woothemes and I'm not pleased overall, yes it's good to get a quick blog up there but personally I don't think it's worth the money especially when you have to keep paying monthly for any updates.
Anyway thanks for your help yet again Pogo and others who helped

Muffins are a popular grab and go breakfast at our house, and these were a big hit with my family. They aren't overly sweet, and my kids didn't even notice the whole wheat flour. In fact, I was surprised at how quickly they disappeared. I love that this recipe makes nearly 2 dozen regular sized muffins, so I can keep some in the freezer for busy mornings. I usually get about 18 muffins, but I like to fill my muffins cups to the brim. You can use all whole wheat flour in this recipe, if you prefer. Frozen strawberries that have been thawed and mashed will also work in place of the fresh strawberries.
Whole Wheat Strawberry Banana Muffins
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 3 bananas, mashed
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup fresh sliced strawberries, slightly mashed
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips (optional)
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease 24 regular muffin cups, or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, applesauce, oil, brown sugar, vanilla and bananas.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon; stir into the banana mixture until just moistened. Gently fold in the strawberries and chocolate chips (if using).
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins spring back when pressed lightly. Allow to cool on wire racks before removing from the muffin tins.

If MTV has its way, Scream's Ghostface killer may be coming to terrorize viewers on the small screen.
TVLine reports that former network execs Tony DiSanto and Liz Gateley -- who created the wildly popular Laguna Beach in 2004 -- are in search of a writer to pen the pilot they're developing for their old channel.
PHOTOS: Meet Scream's all-star cast
Should the project get picked up, DiSanto and Gateley's series would air weekly.
The Wes Craven-directed Scream film franchise -- centered around twentysomethings terrorized by the Ghostface killer -- premiered the first of four films in 1996, and has netted $500 million globally to date.
PHOTOS: Stars' horror movie pasts
Its most recent installment, Scream 4, hit theaters in 2011.

Hi Steve309.
I have a few seedlings growing, I live in SW Scotland so we're a little behind in the weather, even a friend I know who's an experienced gardener, her toms are only 3 to 4 inches high, my seedling are an inch up. I overwatered the first batch, so started again or I'd be further on.
Thanks for the advice on the temps though, that's where I've been going wrong for so long, I often thought if it's comfortable for me in the greenhouse then the toms will love it but they love heat, since I tried keeping the temps over 10c or 15c and everything has flourished. Even getting some coriander up, I've not been able to do so because of my lack of temp education.
I've got a garden pearl, money maker, and gardeners delight. From the afore mention friend. They're all in their homes bar one, it's a bit wee just now, like you say they need to have a few leaves on them. Also have some from the garden center just in case mine failed, they're growing away nicely.
You have to be careful with toms in Scotland, different from down south, they are harvested much later, I've made that mistake before, harvesting them too early.
REALLY hope we get a nice summer this year!
Hi, you can buy the sets anywhere, the factory shop, ebay, homebase.
Drip irrigation kits -- the full title.
They look like a good idea, donutsmrs, very simple. I will look into the auto pots..
I live in the Scotland too, and go away now and again, I love my garden and don't like to impose on folk to water all my plants, my parents will do it no bother but they're miles away and it's not fair on them.
Anyway, I rigged my own system, it wasn't dear but is taking it a bit seriously, as you need a large container, a timer and irrigation. I've some photos, taken from last year, you don't need the guttering feeding the water butt, but as the guttering was with the greenhouse, I rigged it up. I did all this because I wanted to and enjoy these type of things enormously.
Irrigation kits cost £5, a water butt is £15 and a timer is £10 so the cost is time, and a wee bit of fiddling about.
See my photos
The hose going into the top is from the house so if there's not been any rain, I fill the butt, it doesn't happen very often as there's a lot of rain and the guttering is very efficient.
These timers are super easy to rig up and set up, they come with instructions that are really easy to follow.
I just have my timer set for twice a day, at the cool parts of the day, the drippers just drip away for 20 mins twice a day.
Of course these are last years photos but I was out yesterday, starting to set it up again. Hope this is useful to you. and I haven't bored you !
I made a wee vid.....
Only a short vid but it running water after all.
I need to tidy it all up tomorrow after my boring work.
To be fair Rosemary, the gardener I worked for filled half the hole with sharp sand. I feel that's a mistake. He was told they needed good drainage, I've found I just plant them in the soil in my garden and they've always grown good and strong.
I have heard and not just from my own experience, that they don't like fuss but I'm sure they'll be fine, just plant away. I'm sure that some very experienced gardeners will help you no problem, I'm sorry I worried you about my story...I feel the sand was a bad idea.
I got some honey bee, san marzano, black cherry and gardeners delight.
Your toms sounds very interesting Lisa..
Thank you
I need not have worried the pressure is spot on, perfect in fact!

The key to winning tournaments is hooking percentage, Lane said.
The fisherman who can land more fish from heavy cover will cash more
checks than a fisherman who has bass get off because the bait got in the
way of the hook.
The body of the Yo Daddy is ribbed and its flappy claws are flat.
Lane believes this helps the bait impart more movement when using a jig,
punch rig or swimming jig. 8 - Pack

New Delhi, Sep 16 (ANI): Union Environment and Forest Minister Jairam Ramesh said on Wednesday that India has developed a comprehensive Road Map and Action Plan to phase-out of production and consumption of Hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) in various sectors.
Addressing the gathering during the 15th International Ozone Day here Ramesh said: "The Government of India has taken a number of policy measures, fiscal and regulatory, to encourage the early adoption of alternative technologies in this area by existing and new enterprises."
Ramesh hailed the Montreal Protocol as the most successful international treaty to ever achieve universal participation.
"At a time when the world is trying to solve the problem of climate change, the International Ozone Day provided a timely reminder of how international cooperation can help to solve major global environmental problems," Ramesh added.
India is one of the first developing countries to join the Montreal Protocol and pledge its commitment to protect the Ozone Layer.
As a part of the accelerated phase-out of CFCs, India has completely phased out the production and consumption of CFCs as on 1 August 2008, 17 months prior to the agreed schedule.
Ramesh informed that over 97percent of controlled Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) have been phased out by the Montreal Protocol.
"The end of 2009 will mark another significant milestone in the history of its implementation, with the use of potent ODSs -CFCs, Carbon Tetra Chloride (CTC) and Halons, except pharmaceutical-grade CFCs used in the manufacture of Metered Dose Inhalers (MDIs) - being ceased completely," he said
The CFCs required for manufacturing for MDIs used by Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients are still available in India, a national transition strategy to phase them out by 2013 is currently under implementation.
"The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), with support from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and the World Bank recently also launched the India: Chiller Energy Efficiency Project to accelerate the conversion of CFC-based chillers using new, more energy efficient technologies," Ramesh said.
This year's theme for the ozone day was 'Universal participation - Ozone protection unifies the World.' (ANI)

The Sun engaged in an old print media trick last night by publishing a dummy first edition front page before running with a "world exclusive" - the arrest of TV personality Rolf Harris.
This manoeuvre is designed to prevent rivals "borrowing" a story and it appears to have worked. It was hours after publication, even in these digital days, before the rest of Fleet Street caught up.
It is also possible that the paper's sleight-of-hand was aimed at avoiding legal action to prevent publication because the real story behind this story is all about the reason for the long delay between Harris's arrest and mainstream media's reporting of it.
When Harris was arrested on 28 March, all that the police would say was that "an 82-year-old man from Berkshire" had been arrested by officers working for Operation Yewtree. This was the investigation launched into alleged sexual abuse by Jimmy Savile.
However, there is a strand of the inquiry unrelated to Savile (and not necessarily involving child abuse) that is simply called "others". It was evidently under this strand that Harris was detained.
Following his arrest, Harris - who turned 83 two days later - was named on social media sites. Certain blogs subsequently named him too. But newspapers did not.
Why? It would appear that several national titles (though not The Guardian) received letters from Harris's lawyers, Harbottle & Lewis, warning them against identifying their client.
Earlier this week, the law firm sent a letter to a relatively obscure website, demanding that it take down two stories that named Harris. The solicitor argued that it defamed Harris.
But there is no law against identifying a person who has been formally arrested. Its argument is therefore baffling.
In its article, The Sun offered what amounts to a defence for publishing the story: "The Met have repeatedly refused to confirm that Harris had been quizzed — amid public concerns over 'secret' arrests."
Though it wasn't secret - it was anonymous - the paper's substantive argument sounds fair enough to me. If someone is arrested, then it is justifiable to report that fact. We can't have a situation in which the police decide whether an arrested person is named or not, which appears to be current practice.
Our crime and justice system must operate in daylight. The identities of people who are arrested should not be confidential matters.
An individual may well feel it unfair and possibly prejudicial, ahead of any potential charge, to be identified at the point of arrest. But there is a wider public interest in knowing about such matters.
We are all surely aware that people, whether arrested and/or charged, are innocent until proved guilty. For their part, newspapers must play a straight bat by not publishing anything likely to prejudice a fair trial.
One may feel sorry for people who are arrested and then bailed by the police, sometimes for months at a time. That didn't used to be the case but has, sadly, become custom and practice.
In the United States, for instance, the act of being arrested is synonymous with being charged. Here, there is a difference and a time lag between the two.
It does mean that there are occasions when innocents are arrested and never charged, and we may well question that system. We may also sympathise with such people.
That should not stop the media from knowing and reporting what the police are up to. That's part of our journalistic remit after all.

Wish Dandelion Tags Autumn Wedding Ribbon by SweetlyScrappedArt
1 Recommendation
SweetlyScrapped's recommendation
Make a wish! Glittery and shimmery too! On 2 x 5 heavy cardstock I stamped a dandelion at the bottom, along with the word wish. I then stamped the little design at the top, like someone blew, and made a wish and they're going through the air. I added little sparkles to these and to the center of the large flower. I hand aged the edges to give these a soft vintage feel. They are topped with a gorgeous ribbon, with autumn colors. I can change the ribbon, or twine on these, if you'd like too! Or make these without the glitter/shimmer. Convo me for a custom listing :: Set of 6 tags :: Measuring 2" x 5" :: Prestrung with autumn colored ribbon :: Packaged in cello bag, ready to receive or give as a gift :: Shipped in rigid mailer If you have any questions or would like a custom listing, be sure to convo me.

US STOCKS-S&P 500 erases early losses to end flat; energy, tech up
* Verizon, telecoms weigh
* Energy, tech shares lead move up on S&P 500
* Dow down 0.3 pct, S&P down 0.02 pct, Nasdaq up 0.5 pct (Updates to close)
By Caroline Valetkevitch
NEW YORK, Dec 9 (Reuters) - The S&P 500 ended nearly flat on Tuesday as concerns about global weakness and political turmoil were offset by gains in technology and energy shares.
The index managed to erase a 1.3 percent decline from earlier in the day, moving more than 26 points to its high of the day from its low.
Energy and technology shares boosted the market and the Nasdaq ended the day higher. Apple shares climbed 1.5 percent to $114.12, giving the Nasdaq and S&P 500 their biggest boost. Small-cap stocks also bounced, with the Russell 2000 index gaining 1.8 percent.
Advancing issues outnumbered declining ones on the New York Stock Exchange by a ratio of 1.53 to 1. Still, the number of NYSE stocks making new 52-week lows was 255, compared with just 117 making new highs.
"The market in general is digesting a very big move since its October 15 low," said Adam Sarhan, chief executive of Sarhan Capital in New York. "Less than two moths ago we were flat for the year, so investors are hypersensitive to potential downdrafts in the market at this stage in the game." Continuación...

Cathay Williams -
Female Buffalo Soldier
When Congress passed an
act authorizing the establishment of the first all Black units of the
military, later to become known as "Buffalo
Soldiers," Cathay Williams, a former slave, joined the Army. At that
time, women were not allowed to serve as soldiers so Williams posed
as a man, calling herself William Cathay.
Williams was born into slavery in Independence,
Missouri in 1842. She worked as a house slave for William Johnson, a
wealthy planter in Jefferson City,
Missouri until his death. Shortly after
Civil War broke out she was freed by Union soldiers and soon went to
work for the Federal Army as a paid servant. While working in this
capacity, she served Colonel Thomas Hart Benton while he was in Little
Arkansas as well as
General Philip Sheridan and his staff, experiencing military
life first hand. Sheridan brought her with him to Washington to serve as a
cook and laundress.
While traveling with them, she witnessed the
Shenandoah Valley raids in Virginia, and afterwards continued to travel
with them to Iowa,
St. Louis, New Orleans, Savannah, and Macon.
Artist rendition of Cathay Williams by
John Will Davis
When the war was over, Williams wanted to maintain
her financial independence and in November 1866, she enlisted as William
Cathay in the 38th U.S. Infantry, Company A in
St. Louis,
Missouri. At that time, only a cursory medical examination was required
and she was quickly found to be fit for duty. There were only two people
that knew her true identify – a cousin and a friend, who faithfully kept
her secret. She informed her recruiting officer that she was a 22-year-old
cook. He described her as 5' 9", with black eyes, black hair and black
On February 13, 1867, Williams was sent to Jefferson
Missouri and a few months later, in April, the troops marched to

flex insulated duct and noise?
Does insulated flex duct (R-6) 8" diameter attenuate noise? It's a noisy freeway outside and I can hear it from my bathroom fan sometimes but that is using just dryer hose type duct without insulation.
I will be adding a vent to the outside wall and I was wondering if I will hear the noise brought in by insulated ducting similar to the bathroom fan.
It will attenuate some of the noise. How much varies with length of the duct. And how much noise is coming into it from the intake hood.

Notes: These authors investigated the effects of various anesthetics on bioluminescence imaging with firefly luciferase. They observed decreases in luminescence with volatile anaethetics, and found increased luciferase expression with injectable anaethetics in intact cells, but not in cell lysates in vitro. They concluded that the decreases in luciferase activity observed with volatile anaesthesia were due to hemodynamic effects, and not due to a direct inhibitory effect on luciferase enzyme itself. The apparent enhancement of luciferase activity with certain injectable anaesthetics appeared to be due to cytotoxic effects that resulted in increased permeablity to luciferase, as the same enhancement was not observed in cell lysates. D-Luciferin was used for in vivo imaging experiments. The pGL4.10 vector (encoding firefly luciferase), Luciferase Assay Reagent, and the GloMax® 96 Microplate Luminometer were used for in vitro assays using cell lysates. (4190)

Notes: These authors used the Flexi® Vector System to prepare ORF clones encoding 1929 human genes and to transfer a subset of these clones to various expression vectors for further analysis. They created HaloTag® fusion proteins and examined expression of these proteins in vitro and in COS7 and HEK293 cells. They also performed comparisons between the Flexi® System and Gateway® cloning system, specifically examining the effects of flanking sequences on protein expression in in vitro translation systems and confirming that the cellular localization of the HaloTag® fusion proteins was consistent with results obtained using GFP-fusions.

Notes: Oxidative damage has been associated with a range of age-related neurological conditions. In this study, the effect of mRNA oxidation was investigated. A direct correlation was observed between the extent of oxidation and the frequency of translation errors. The authors excised the firefly luciferase (luc2) gene from the pGL4.14 Vector, attached a FLAG tag to the 5´ terminus and a Myc tag to the 3´ terminus, and subcloned the gene into a pGEM-4Z Vector that had been modified to append a poly(A) sequence. The construct was transfected into HEK293 cells, which were then cultured in the presence of an oxidizing agent. The occurrence of truncated protein fragments and short peptides increased in the presence of the oxidizing agent in a concentration-dependent manner. The effects of oxidation of mRNA were also investigated in in vitro translation experiments using mRNA treated with an iron-ascorbate mixture and hydrogen peroxide. Translation in vitro was performed using rabbit reticulocyte lysate supplemented with protease inhibitors. The translation products were detected using anti-FLAG and anti-c-Myc antibodies. (3630)

Notes: In this family-based study of 1,231 autism cases, a genetic association of a common C allele in the promoter of the MET gene and autism was identified. Initial sequencing of the MET genes from 86 individuals with autism was used to identify several candidate variants in the MET promoter and 3´ untranslated region. Family-based analyses were then performed to determine whether an association could be demonstrated between any of these variants and autism. A G/C variant 20bp 5´ of the MET transcription start site was found to be overrepresented among individuals with autism, particularly among families where more than on child was affected. Once the candidate variant was identified, the effect of the G/C change on transcription of the MET gene was investigated in a reporter assay. Two 762 bp fragments of the MET promoter region, differing only in the G/C nucleotide, were cloned into pGL4.10 firefly luciferase reporter vectors. These vectors were then transfected into mouse neural cell lines, and luciferase production was monitored using the Dual-Glo™ Assay. The construct containing the C allele produced less than half of the luciferase activity of construct containing the G allele. (3579)
Liau, S-S, Jazag, A. and Whang, E.
Notes: The HMGA1 proteins are known to play an important role in transcriptional regulation of human gene expression, and are overexpressed in several malignancies. This study investigated the role of HMGA1 in cellular invasiveness and metastasis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma. Overexpression of HMGA1 in the human pancreatic cell line MiaPaCa2 resulted in increased invasiveness in a Matrigel assay, and shRNA silencing of HMGA1 expression resulted in reduced invasiveness and reduced the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9), an important mediator of malignant cell invasiveness. The authors then used a reporter assay to investigate the effect of changes in HMGA1 expression on MMP-9 activity. Vectors either overexpressing HMGA1, expressing an shRNA directed against HMGA1, or expressing a control shRNA, were cotransfected into MiaPaCa2 cells along with a pGL4.12 firefly luciferase reporter vector construct containing the MMP-9 promoter upstream of the luciferase gene. MMP-9 promoter activity was significantly decreased upon HMGA1 silencing. The authors then showed that HMGA1 silencing resulted in decreased invasiveness and reduced tumor growth and MMP-9 activity in an in vivo model. (3578)
Vinther, J., Hedegaard, M.M., Gardner, P.P., Andersen, J.S. and Arctander, P.
Notes: These authors used stable-isotope labeling of amino acids in culture (SILAC), a method that allows quantitation of relative protein abundance between populations, to investigate the effect of the microRNA miRNA-1 on the HeLa cell proteome. HeLa cells grown in the presence of labeled arginine and lysine were transfected with miRNA-1, and the labeled proteins compared to those from control cells treated with the transfection reagent alone. A set of 16 proteins repressed by miRNA-1 was identified. The 3´ UTR's from 11 of the miRNA-1-regulated genes were tested in a reporter assay, and 6 were shown to repress expression in an miRNA-1-dependent fashion. For the reporter assays, the HSV TK promoter was amplified from the pRL-TK Vector and subcloned into the pGL4.12(luc2CP) Vector, creating the pGL4.12-TK vector. The 3´ UTR regions from suspected target genes were then amplified and subcloned into the pGL4.12-TK construct. The various pGL4.12-TK constructs (0.9µg) were then co-transfected along with pRL-TK (0.1µg) and miRNA-1 (50pmol) into HeLa cells (80,000 cells/well in 12-well plates). Twenty-two hours post-transfection, firefly and Renilla luciferase activities were measured using the Dual-Luciferase® Reporter Assay System. (3561)

Notes: Three alleles were identified in the promoter of the serotonin transporter, HTTLPR, based on the number of a specific repeat sequence and a single nucleotide polymorphism found in the repeat sequence. Sequences from these alleles (named S, LA, and LG) were cloned into the pGL4.10 [luc2] Vector. These constructs were then tested by transfecting them into RN46A cells derived from rat dorsal raphe neurons. The constructs containing the LG and S allele sequences displayed a 2.8 fold increase in activity compared to the construct containing the LA allele sequence. Data was represented as relative luciferase levels compared to a control (pGL4.10 [luc2] Vector). (3411)

Notes: The transcription factors BMAL1 and CLOCK form a heterodimer that positively regulates the Period (Per) and Cryptochrome (Cry) genes, which are involved in maintenance of circadian oscillations in mammals. The PER and CRY proteins negatively regulate the activity of the BMAL1/CLOCK heterodimer. To investigate the specific role of BMAL1 in maintenance of circadian rhythms, Per or Bmal1 promoter-driven luciferase reporter vectors were created using the pGL4.11[luc2P] luciferase reporter vector. Forty-eight hours after transfection of Rat-1 fibroblasts with each reporter construct, cellular clocks were synchronized by treatment with 100nM dexamethasone, and rhythmic expression of the luciferase reporter was observed. The effect of various mutant BMAL1 constructs on luciferase expression was then evaluated using this model system. (3472)

text: X-Men First Class, Enchanted, Eclipse - best films on TV tonight Watch James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender and Amy Adams in our film picks for 17 May Comments Written By Emily Handley 12:01 AM, 17 May 2014 X-Men First Class, 9pm - C4 Answering all questions about the early relationship between Professor Xavier (the superb James McAvoy) and Magneto (a top-notch Michael Fassbender) and the origins of their mutant factions, Kick-Ass co-writer/director Matthew Vaughn's prequel is a terrific reboot of the arguably moribund Marvel series. Beginning in Nazi Germany and ending with the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis, this grandiose globetrotting fantasy boasts plentiful action spectacle and effective character-based drama set in an age of civil unrest and Cold War paranoia. Enchanted, 5.05pm - BBC1 After a disappointing third instalment of the Shrek franchise (known for poking fun at Disney), it seems the studio may have had the last laugh with this romantic fantasy. Amy Adams plays Giselle, who in the brief animated first segment is searching for her prince, and finds him in the form of Edward (James Marsden). But he has a wicked stepmother (Susan Sarandon) who has no intention of giving up her privileged place in the kingdom in favour of her future daughter-in-law, so (as animation gives way to live action) transports Giselle to a spot where there are no happy endings - New York, of course. Eclipse, 6.40pm - Film4 There's more teen angst with a twist in this lively third instalment of the hit Twilight series, and the pressure is mounting on moody Bella (Kristen Stewart) to make a fangs-or-fur choice between vampire boyfriend Edward (Robert Pattinson) and werewolf boyfriend Jacob (Taylor Lautner). To the unbiased and non-teenage eye, Eclipse's many romantic interludes could seem slushy and repetitive, but British director David Slade (30 Days of Night) balances the blend of action and romance far better than the directors of the two previous movies.

Mark: "Nothing Grows in the Shadow of Big Trees" (June / July 2008)
Villa in Bennekom, the Netherlands (Powerhouse Company)
Nanne de Ru and Charles Bessard work apart together under the name Powerhouse Company.
Text David Keuning
Photos Jeroen Musch
Nanne de Ru and Charles Bessard are perfectionists. Wed been angling for an interview with them for some time, but they kept putting us off. Construction on their first big project, a villa in Bennekom in the Netherlands might have been completed, but they needed time to put the finishing touches to the interior decoration. There are, says De Ru, to my great relief, no hackneyed design classics like an Eames chair. There is, however, a table of their
design, and the architects did have a hand in the selection of the rest of the furniture. We put three years of toil and sweat into this project. Having it written up prematurely would not do it justice.
This uncompromising attitude is also a hallmark of the work of the two young architects, who have been collaborating together since 2004 under the name Powerhouse Company in an unorthodox way: Bessard lives and works in Copenhagen, De Ru in Rotterdam. They visit each other once a month. The rest of the time their Skype link is permanently open. This way they share the benefits of a creative partnership but not the pressures inherent in the travails of everyday practice. They came up with this arrangement a long time ago, when they were both studying at the Berlage Institute in Rotterdam.
When did you first meet each other?
De Ru: I think it was in 2000, right?
Bessard: September 2000. We come from very different backgrounds. I graduated back in 1993, at the École Speciale dArchitecture in Paris. Then I worked in Paris and London for seven years before I moved to Rotterdam. Nanne graduated a year before we met.
What kind of projects did you do?
Bessard: The last project I did in Paris was the refurbishment of the Trocadéro, which now houses the Cité de lArchitecture et du Patrimoine. I worked for Jean-François Bodin, who is a specialist of museums. It was quite crazy. I was project leader for the library at that time. After having worked on it for 18 months really intensively, the roof of the Trocadéro burnt down. The budget for the library went up in smoke and my part of the project was cancelled. I was really pissed off, we had designed every detail, up to the furniture. It was enough. After four years of French bureaucracy and not having anything happen, I decided to go to England. I entered Sheppard Robson. It was a fantastic experience. In three years we built two buildings in central London. Big office blocks, on the intersection of Euston Road and Tottenham Court Road. Glass façades, very high-tech. Not necessarily my cup of tea, but still, very interesting.
Why did you go to Sheppard Robson?
Bessard: I had a few offers, but I was interested to work in a very large commercial practice. Generally speaking, French architects are very bad at management. Sheppard Robson, on the contrary, is a perfect example of management. Theyre extremely professional. It was great to see how its all organized, coming from my background. After the Berlage, I went to Jean Nouvel. First I spent some time at the main office in Paris, and then I moved to their office in Copenhagen to work on the Denmark Radio Concert Hall. I was confronted with a lot of French problems again.
Such as?
Bessard: As I said, management is not a French tradition. The way the projects are run results in a very tense atmosphere.
De Ru: Its a critical office. Its not a French thing. It goes for most of these practices; also for OMA; I worked at OMAs think tank AMO after the Berlage. All those offices are very creative, but the work pressure can mount to very high levels.
Bessard: The English way of working is much more casual and relaxed. France, or Paris anyway, is very stressed. People are on their nerves all the time, especially when something goes wrong. Its a part of the Parisian attitude I really got sick of. In England they have a can-do mentality. Another thing I liked at Sheppard Robson was the devotion to details, it almost becomes industrial design. We did steel castings, tailor-made lifts and so on. They have this high-tech architectural tradition. We try, in our
office, to keep that attitude. Not the high-tech aesthetics, but the craftsmanship is important to us.
What about you Nanne, where do you come from?
De Ru: I first went to the HTS in Amsterdam. It was a very conscious choice, I was totally into Bauhaus at that time. Learning how to design wasnt my first concern, I wanted to study building techniques before anything else. I regretted my decision as soon as I started. It was so much more boring than I had imagined. In the beginning, you get a lot of stuff that you dont see the point of, like concrete calculations, construction site layout, scaffolding plans. But now I benefit a lot from this. You get to know how contractors work, and how you should approach them. After the HTS, I worked for One Architecture for about a year. Then I went to the Berlage and thats where I met Charles. Those were two great years. I made a point of spending most of my time there on researching and writing.
Why would you want to write?
De Ru: For me, wanting to become an architect has always been about the full spectrum of craftsmanship. To detail, to build, to plan, to design, to write and to theorize. At the Berlage, we were not allowed to design anything for our final thesis. We had to do research, so I studied a lot on Dutch architects Van Eesteren and Van Lohuizen. I went through their entire archive. They turned out to be very laborious architects who measured everything in the world around them, up to the way the cars move in the streets. They used these figures to make rational plans for the functional city. We now know those cities as icons of brutality, but their designs were very sensible and quite lovingly put together. At the same time, Charles was studying on Le Corbusiers archive and his Contemporary City for three million inhabitants. That sparked a debate between us about the way we should deal with the modern heritage and the way we perceived our
practice. Thats when we started discussing the possibility of a practice together. When youre not allowed to design, you speak about it all the time. Its like when youre dieting: you start discussing recipes. In spite of our plans for a practice of our
, going to AMO was a logical choice. Rem Koolhaas did a master class at the Berlage and he approached me to come and work for him. But I made a vow when I started there: I wasnt going to stay there for more than two years. I strictly kept my promise.
Why did you make that vow?
De Ru: Two years is just a very good time to be somewhere. You learn a lot and get a routine at the same time.
Bessard: Theres a nice quote from sculptor Constatin Brancusi. He once got the chance to work for Auguste Rodin and he refused because, as he said, nothing grows in the shadow of big trees. It is very nice to be close to these really great architects, but theyre very powerful and can actually vampirize you when youre young and flexible and looking for your
identity. They have a whole constellation of extremely talented people around them. It puts you in a bubble that is very fertile and stimulating. But at a certain point you need to be able to cut the cord.
And then, in 2004, you started your
office, with your
logo. I suppose it is a combination of the French rooster and the Dutch lion?
De Ru: Thats correct. We designed it ourselves. They are heraldic animals with a mythical dimension. And it shows that we try to combine two heritages without mixing them into something unrecognizable. They keep their
qualities but combine to form a new image. This paradox was our main question from the start: how can we obtain maximum personal freedom and achieve maximum common results at the same time? Working apart together is our solution.
What is Powerhouse more than two separate companies working on different projects, apart from the fact that you are friends?
Bessard: We are in different countries, but it feels like we are working at two different ends of one room. Every day we have the video link via Skype. We have the headset on and open most of the day, so its more close than a collaboration between two separate offices. You could compare it to a relationship. You should always be elevated by the surprises of one another, and if you work together all the time you get to know the other too well. You start to blend into neither the one nor the other.
De Ru: I played the piano a lot when I was younger and I almost went to a conservatory to become a jazz pianist. One thing I learned about improvisation is that when musicians improvise together, they only rarely drown each other out. They listen to each other really well. Architects tend to do the opposite when they work together. We try to design the same way musicians improvise together, and we need some distance for that.
Are you each responsible for the commissions you bring in?
Bessard: Yes, the two companies are financially independent. We work around a joint venture for each project. Its a very light administrative set-up. Its logical that when a project takes place in France or Denmark, I take care of it. The same goes for Holland and Nanne. Architecture is for a large part still a very local profession. The contact with the client and the contractor, the legal regulations, the regular visits to the site. I cannot make detail drawings in Dutch, just as Nanne cannot make them in Danish or French, so it doesnt make any sense to work on that together. But at the beginning of a design process, we work on the assignment on a 50/50 basis. Thats one side. The other side of being apart is that you get acquainted with twice as many people. When youre in the same place you meet the same people. We double our markets, we double our networks.
How does it work practically? How often do you visit each other?
Bessard: Low-cost airlines are essential to our way of working. I come at least once a month to Rotterdam and the same goes for Nanne and Copenhagen. As for the financial part, we charge each other as consultants. From the beginning of a project we agree on the percentages.
You actually charge each other?
De Ru: Yes. Its a very straight way of collaborating because you always know exactly what you do for each other. Its clear who brings in a commission, and he proposes a way to share it. Its a model we developed in the first year and it really works well, because it means were never worried about what the other guy is doing. We both have quite strong characters. Were both Leos, despite our logo. And the distance allows us to be free in all the practical aspects of running an office. I really dont mind whether he buys a very expensive printer. Moreover, I cannot see who he is hiring in Denmark, and he cannot see who I am hiring here. In Holland, we work only four days a week. Fridays I am usually closed. Charles always works five days a week. We never discuss this kind of stuff.
So what do you discuss?
Bessard: We only discuss architecture. And wed like to keep it that way.
Villa 1
Bennekom / the Netherlands
De Ru: The site was a big piece of forest at the end of a dirt road. It had been on sale for a long time. There was a little wooden dacha on it. You were allowed to build on it, but not more than 200 m2 or 600 m3. The clients wanted a house of 1400 m3, more than twice the limit. But after studying the zoning plan and the zoning regulations, it turned out that we could build an outbuilding and a full cellar underneath. That could definitely go up to 1400, so we went ahead and started designing it.
We talked a lot to the client about architecture. He had very eclectic ideas. He liked Farnsworth house by Mies van der Rohe, as well as Palladios Villa Rotonda, because of the big hallway. He had visited them both. And in Norway he had gone to this open air museum in Oslo. He liked the old farms there because when you come in, you are immediately in the middle of the house and there is a big fire place. So he had all these ideas about space, but they were very contradictory. He liked old farms with no windows and modern houses with maximum transparency at the same time.
We put half of the programme in the basement and designed the upper floor with the light in mind, with the study on the north, the kitchen to the southeast and the living room to the southwest. A central hallway with a huge fireplace is right in the middle. The top floor is extremely transparent. Fixed furniture, like a bookcase made of trusses and the fireplace, separates the various spaces and carries the roof at the same time. We struggled with the basement, because we had limited light. We put the guest bedrooms in one wing, the master bedroom in another and the garage in the third. Its a very practical layout. The contrast between the basement and the top floor causes a palette of spatial experiences.

(9 November 2011) The bidorbuy television commercial dubbed It's a Jungle Out There was released nationally across major TV channels on 5 November. The 30 seconds ad focuses on the more painful sides of real life shopping in a humorous way, suggesting that people should opt for an alternative and shop online on bidorbuy, from the comfort of their homes.
The ad features a young couple caught up in the mayhem of a typical mall at its busiest, with stereotypical characters souring their shopping experience. The surprise element comes in with the use of both real and constructed animals to portray these mall characters.
Our goal was to create a TV ad that was fun and unique, just like our brand is, says bidorbuy CEO Jaco Jonker and explains: Our advertising agency, Volcano, took time to understand our business. We are told that many of their staff members are now regulars on bidorbuy.co.za. So, it is no wonder they managed to come up with a creative idea that is both entertaining and carries an effective marketing message.
Egg Productions executed the idea with ingenuity and scientific precision. They organised the appearance of animatronics designed by CFX Productions, filmed real hyenas in a real shopping mall, and built a mall replica on a game farm to capture on film the animals that could neither be brought to the mall nor constructed. Sinister Studios stitched it all together in a meticulously done post production.
The four minutes long It's a Jungle Out There - Behind the Scenes video shot by Timmy Henny gives an idea of the magnitude of the undertaking.
An advert is only as good as the underlying product, and we are confident in the excellence of what we provide: a sophisticated platform for individuals and businesses to trade online, adds bidorbuy CEO Jaco Jonker.
To celebrate their television advertising debut, bidorbuy is organising an online competition in which entrants can win their share of R10,000 cash to spend on bidorbuy. If any of the winners happen to be new to the world of online shopping, they need not worry. A human shopping assistant will be there to ease any initial apprehensions, so natural when we first venture into an environment we are not used to, says Jaco Jonker.

On Thursday, angry liberal readers of the Washington Post forced the ombudsmen of the paper, Deborah Howell, to shut it down. In her Sunday column, written on 1/15, Howell wrote that Abramoff "had made substantial campaign contributions to both major parties," prompting a wave of nasty reader postings on post.blog.
So much for our open-minded, elitist friends on the left, who are all to glad to once again enact another episode of "Do as I say, and not as I do." This is the same bunch that screams for openness and truth in media reporting, but only IF it hurts the GOP.
Here is the original story as written by Deborah Howell that has caused such consternation on the left.
And here is Howell's most recent response to her liberal critics, which she handles quite nicely by basically using the facts.
Deborah Howell's story and subsequent firestorm over it should show the GOP just what to expect come election time: The "Culture of Corruption" that Democrats talk about will be the number one campaign issue for them.
So when the Washington Post, a well-respected liberal organ writes of Democratic corruption in Congress--and with Jack Abramoff as the catalyst--it is the equivalent of shining daylight on the vampiric left, who cannot bring themselves to admit that they, too, are as guilty as any Republican in what will turn into the next "something-gate" in Washington.
Kudos to Deborah Howell for posting the truth, but shame on Jim Brady,
Executive Editor, washingtonpost.com, for ultimately pulling the plug on the blog.
If anything, this a glittering example of just how angry the left gets when exposed to the truth, and to what lengths they will go to protect one another from criticism.

Searching For the Lost Mojo of Andre Debose
Published September 27th, 2012

GAINESVILLE- Once one of the most highly touted high school recruits in the country, Florida Gators wide receiver Andre Debose has found himself four games into his redshirt junior season without a single catch on the year.
Debose has still been reliable in the return game, where he's averaged more than 24 yards per return, but coaches say his effort on the practice field has been inconsistent, and head coach Will Muschamp has a policy that the players who practice best will play.

Stephen Harper lashes opposition
By David Ljunggren
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper lashed out at his parliamentary opponents on Thursday, saying they should have the courage to defeat the minority government rather than obstructing his agenda with "ridiculous political games."
Harper's Conservatives won a fragile hold on power in January 2006 and survived several confidence votes with support from the main opposition Liberal Party of Stephane Dion.
But the Liberals and other opposition parties have used their majority in Parliament to both block some Conservative initiatives and launch probes into what they said was wrongdoing by members of the ruling party.
Harper -- insisting his priority was to keep governing -- said when parliament resumed on September 15, he would be presenting bills that he regarded to be matters of confidence.
"What we will not allow is a situation where Mr Dion tries to say 'Well, I won't defeat you, but I won't let you pass anything either'," Harper told a televised news conference in Levis, Quebec.
"We're going to come forward to Parliament this fall with some things we want to get done. We're either going to get a mandate from Parliament to do those things or the Canadian population will decide."
Canada's next election is due to be held in October 2009. Opinion polls suggest that if a federal vote were held now, the result would be another minority Conservative government.
Harper told Conservatives on Thursday that "Mr Dion must fish or cut bait" but in reality, it is the opposition parties that will decide when and whether to try and defeat him. Continued...
