Chevrolet City Express Front Sway Bar Link Replacement Cost
How Much Does a Sway Bar End Link Replacement - Front Cost?
Sway Bar End Link Replacement - Front Service and Cost
The front sway bar end links connect the sway bar (also known as an anti-roll bar or stabilizer bar) to the front suspension. One sway bar link is located at each end of the sway bar, on the right and left sides of the vehicle.
The sway bar is designed to combat vehicle roll in a turn. As a car turns, the weight of the vehicle leans, or rolls, to the outside of the turn (as much as thirty degrees), placing more weight on the outside tires, and less weight on the inside tires. This weight differential impairs traction and vehicle steering and handling. The sway bar uses torsion to transfer the outside weight to the inside tires and serves to keep the vehicle as level as possible when turning. The sway bar links are the tie between the sway bar and the right and left suspension members.
When the front sway bar links are bad, there will be a clicking or knocking noise from the front suspension when going over bumps or when the vehicle leans quickly into a turn. Sometimes, worn sway bar links do not present symptoms during operation, but they are diagnosed by a technician during an inspection of the suspension.
A vehicle can be driven when the sway bar links are wearing out, but if a sway bar link breaks completely, the sway bar will come loose from the suspension. In that case, the vehicle will not handle properly - steering will be affected and the car will roll (or feel "loose") when driving at higher speeds. Care should be exercised when driving with a broken sway bar link as it is possible to lose control of the vehicle because of the loss of normal handling. If there are signs of a worn out sway bar link, the part should be replaced as soon as possible.
There is no replacement schedule for front sway bar links, through most vehicles will need to have them changed at some point. Rough driving habits may shorten the life of these parts. If the sway bar links are showing signs of wear, they should be replaced.
Sway Bar End Link Replacement - Front Repair Information
A worn front sway bar link is diagnosed by raising the vehicle in the air on a hoist (or on a jack and jack stands) and by turning the link back and forth to feel and listen for a dry clicking sound in the link ends. Each end of the sway bar link has a ball joint covered with a rubber boot that is filled with lubricant. If this boot deteriorates or gets damaged, the lubricant can leak out and cause the metal-on-metal joint to wear and break down. When this happens, the joint will loosen (this is the cause of the clicking or knocking noise when driving) and eventually break. A technician will recognize the loose sway bar link end and recommend replacement.
The front sway bar link is replaced by first safely lifting and supporting the vehicle on a hoist (or a jack and jack stands) to provide access to the front suspension and to allow the suspension to hang. Next, the front wheels are removed. The sway bar link design varies from vehicle to vehicle, but in general, a nut at each end of the sway bar link is removed while the technician holds the mounting stud in place. This can be difficult if the vehicle is older and the suspension has corrosion present. The new links are then installed. On some vehicles, the suspension will need to be collapsed by lowering the vehicle to the ground before the new links can be installed.
RepairPal recognizes that a worn front sway bar link may not present symptoms during normal driving. If during a vehicle inspection - or while another service is being performed - a technician finds that the links are worn, they should be replaced as soon as possible. Sway bar links should always be replaced in pairs. Also, if other suspension components - upper or lower control arms, steering knuckle, wheel hubs - are being replaced, RepairPal recommends that the sway bar links be replaced at the same time.
Depending on the make and model of the vehicle, there are different types of sway bar links, each of which has a slightly different procedure for replacement. Also, if there is corrosion present on the worn links, they may be difficult to remove. In some cases, once the old links have been removed, they are difficult to reinstall, so make sure that the correct replacement parts are ordered before removing the old sway bar links. This repair requires that the vehicle be lifted and supported in the air. In some cases, it is necessary to lower the vehicle to the ground in order to collapse the suspension to the correct height and to align the link mounts for installation.
When setting the parking brake does not result in the wheels fully locking, the lever may be far easier to press or pull than normal. You may notice the vehicle tries to roll, and is caught by the transmission. This is particularly dangerous for manual transmission vehicles, as the transmission does not have a secondary lock, and the weight of the vehicle may allow it to roll, even if the gear selector is placed in a forward or reverse gear. vehicles with electronically actuated parking brakes may display a warning on the drivers information center, alerting to the danger of the failed parking brake. Lastly, the parking lever can fail to return to the disengaged position after being released. In this situation the lever will exhibit a total loss of tension, but may provide resistance if manually pressed or pulled into the disengaged position.

Fox News hosts tell Buffett to "quit lecturing" the rich
Research ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
Fox News figures seized on Warren Buffett's comment that "people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes" to attack him and other millionaires who support ending the Bush-era tax cuts for the wealthy. Fox has repeatedly defended the tax cuts for the wealthy and has accused Democrats of engaging in "class warfare" for wanting to return the top two income tax rates to 2000 levels.
Millionaires, including Warren Buffett, call for expiration of Bush tax cuts for wealthy
Buffett: "[P]eople at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes." During an interview with ABC News, Buffett, chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, expressed support for ending the Bush-era tax cuts for households making more than $250,000. Buffett stated, "I think that people at the high end -- people like myself -- should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we've ever had it." Buffett also addressed the claim that the wealthy "energize business and capitalism," saying: "The rich are always going to say that, you know, just give us more money and we'll go out and spend more and then it will all trickle down to the rest of you. But that has not worked the last 10 years, and I hope the American public is catching on."
"Patriotic Millionaires": "During our nation's moment of need, we are eager to do our fair share." In a letter addressed to President Obama, several Americans, "who now or in the past earned an income of $1,000,000 per year or more," wrote to urge Obama to "stand firm against those who would put politics ahead of their country." The letter stated: "For the fiscal health of our nation and the well-being of our fellow citizens, we ask that you allow tax cuts on incomes over $1,000,000 to expire at the end of this year as scheduled." It continued:
We have done very well over the last several years. Now, during our nation's moment of need, we are eager to do our fair share. We don't need more tax cuts, and we understand that cutting our taxes will increase the deficit and the debt burden carried by other taxpayers. The country needs to meet its financial obligations in a just and responsible way.
Letting tax cuts for incomes over $1,000,000 expire, is an important step in that direction.
Fox figures attack Buffett, "Patriotic Millionaires" campaign
Neil Cavuto's "common sense" on "Patriotic Millionaires": "Quit lecturing." During his "Common Sense" segment on his Fox News show, Neil Cavuto slammed the "Patriotic Millionaires" campaign for wanting "to get creamed by Washington," telling Buffett and the other millionaires to "quit speaking" for the nation's top 2 percent of earners. He added: "And while you're at it, quit speaking for even millionaires now. Maybe they're against paying more now, not because they can't afford to, but because they simply don't want to." Cavuto concluded: "Quit lecturing."
From the November 22 edition of Fox News' Your World with Neil Cavuto:
CAVUTO: Warren Buffett feels guilty. Ben, of Ben and Jerry's, well, he feels guilty. Moby, the music mogul, he feels guilty. They all feel guilty. And you know why? They all want to pay more in taxes, that's why. And it is eating away at them like a dripping Chubby Hubby. You see, they want to get creamed by Washington. Warren, of course, has always said that, but a bunch of these others, 45 millionaires strong, dashing off a letter to President Obama all but demanding that: Hike our taxes now.
And I'm reading their letter and it suddenly hit me like a double scoop of Chunky Monkey right to the chin: Why write a letter when you could all just write a check? Why wait for your answer, guys? Pay more now, guys. Don't put it off. Sign it, right now.
But for goodness sake, quit speaking for all those 2 per centers right now, especially the ones nowhere near what any of you are making now. And while you're at it, quit speaking for even millionaires now. Maybe they're against paying more now, not because they can't afford to, but because they simply don't want to.
CAVUTO: You pay more for the cone. They're already feeling double-scooped as it is. So, get crackin'. Get giving, but for God's sake, you 45 millionaires and Warren Buffett, who I love dearly, quit lecturing.
O'Reilly to Buffett: "Stop hawking me." After airing Buffett's ABC comments, Bill O'Reilly replied: "Well, go ahead, Warren. Nobody's stopping you. Make a big donation." He stated, "I don't want to be paying 50 percent to the federal government because I believe they waste an enormous amount of money" and claimed that "the more money and the more spending you give them, the more they control people's lives." He added: "So, people get dependent -- it's like heroin -- on the federal government for their livelihood. And I don't want to be into that. If Warren wants to kick more money in, kick it in, Warren. Stop hawking me."
Stossel: "It doesn't help" for the rich to pay more. Appearing on The O'Reilly Factor, Fox News contributor John Stossel asserted that it "doesn't help" for the top earners to pay more taxes, adding that Buffett could give it to the Treasury but has chosen to give money to charity instead. Stossel added: "Wisely, people know giving it to charity is a better use of the money." Stossel also advocated for making up some of the deficit by cutting the Education Department, and concluded: "Money in private hands does far more good for the world and for Americans than money in government hands."
Carlson: "This is a form of moral preening. It's his way of saying, 'I'm better than you.' " On Fox News' On the Record, Fox News contributor Tucker Carlson said Buffett could pay more taxes "if he wanted to." Carlson continued: "Warren Buffett, like every person in business, employs an entire army of accountants whose only job it is to minimize the amount of taxes he pays. ... He could fire every accountant at Berkshire Hathaway tomorrow, if he wanted, and send 80 percent of his income to the federal government. And he should. 'You, first': that's what I say to Warren Buffett." Carlson then accused Buffett of "moral preening," saying his comments are a "way of saying, 'I'm better than you. I'm not your average greedy rich guy.' " Carlson concluded: "This is the second-richest man in the world. He says he wants to give away 99 percent of his wealth. ... He can do it right tonight, but instead of doing that, he would rather take out full-page ads in newspapers lecturing the rest of us that we don't pay enough in taxes. It's an outrage."
Carlson: Giving money to government "is the least efficient thing you could ever do." During the same segment, Carlson further claimed that Buffett "knows perfectly well" that giving money to government "is the least efficient thing you could ever do with the money" if you wanted to help society. "That's why Warren Buffett, in fact, isn't paying extra taxes. He's turning his money away to non-profits." Carlson added: "He's not giving it to the federal government because he knows they waste a heck of a lot of" money.
Van Susteren: It's "appalling" to tell the rich "to pay their fair share. ... It was designed to create class warfare." On her Fox News show, Greta Van Susteren also criticized Buffett, saying, "I always thought it was sort of appalling when they said to the rich, 'the rich need to pay their fair share,' as though they weren't paying their fair share -- although maybe Warren Buffett isn't paying his fair share -- that it was designed to create class warfare. I actually think a lot of rich people would be willing to help out, whether it's in the charities or whatever, if they're asked, instead of being called cheats."
Huckabee: Millionaires should "write the biggest check that will make you feel less guilty." Asked about Buffett's comments on the November 22 edition of ABC's The View, Fox News host Mike Huckabee said, "Here's what I say to them: If you want to pay more in taxes, there's not a law in the United States that keeps you from doing that. Write a check. Write the biggest check that makes you feel less guilty, but don't impose." He added, "If Warren Buffett wants to give his last dime to the federal government and thinks they'll spend it better than he will, let him do it. But most people who work really, really hard for their money believe that they will spend that money better than the federal government will spend it, because they watch what the federal government does with it, and they have no confidence in them."
Buffett is right: Extending high-end tax cuts would increase the debt without boosting the economy
CBO: Extending tax cuts "does not create much incentive ... to hire more workers." Congressional Budget Office (CBO) director Douglas Elmendorf stated in his written testimony that "[d]eferring the scheduled increases in tax rates in 2011 would help some businesses" but that "increasing the after-tax income of businesses typically does not create much incentive for them to hire more workers in order to produce more, because production depends principally on their ability to sell their products."
Reuters: "Economists of all stripes agree high earners are less likely to spend extra cash than less well-off peers." In an August 17 "Factbox," Reuters reported that the CBO and economists like Mark Zandi, who advised John McCain's 2008 presidential campaign, believe tax cuts for the rich are less stimulative than those for less wealthy individuals:
CBO: Allowing Bush tax cuts for the top brackets to expire is "more cost-effective" than extending all of the cuts. In January 2010, the nonpartisan CBO released a report estimating the economic effects of several policy options, including extending all of the Bush tax cuts for one year. CBO found that the tax cuts would boost GDP by between 10 cents and 40 cents per dollar spent, providing the smallest amount of stimulus of all the policy options considered.
In the report, CBO stated that extending most of the Bush tax cuts for one year but allowing the cuts for the top brackets to expire would "cost less than would deferring all of the scheduled tax increases, and it would be more cost-effective because the higher-income households that would be excluded would probably save a larger fraction of their increase in after-tax income." However, CBO said the difference "would be small."
Top earners would still gain from Dems' tax cut proposal
GOP Congress, Bush mandated that the tax cuts would expire after 2010. With the exception of changes to the estate tax, the 2001 tax bill states: "All provisions of, and amendments made by, this Act shall not apply ... to taxable, plan, or limitation years beginning after December 31, 2010." The 2001 tax bill passed the House and Senate with near-unanimous Republican support. The 2003 tax bill -- which also passed both houses with near-unanimous Republican support -- incorporated the sunset provisions from the 2001 tax bill.
Wash. Post: Sunsets allowed GOP to "boost the size of the tax cut" while "hiding its true cost" and getting Dem support. In a May 27, 2001, article, The Washington Post reported: "By terminating the tax cuts at the end of 2010, negotiators were able to avoid some tough decisions. Since they could now distribute the same amount of money over nine years rather than 10 years, they effectively boosted the size of the tax cut while at the same time hiding its true cost." The Post reported in a May 24, 2003, article that "by 'sunsetting' all the tax cuts well before the bill's official 2013 expiration date, congressional tax writers took a measure that otherwise would have cost the Treasury more than $800 billion over the next decade and crammed it into a $350 billion price tag that could garner just enough support to pass the Senate. Democrats and Republicans alike predict that future Congresses and administrations will not let the tax cuts expire."
Wealthy taxpayers would still have lower taxes under Obama plan than if all the cuts expired as scheduled. The Times reported that according to a Joint Committee on Taxation analysis, taxpayers with income over $250,000 would have a higher top tax rate, but would still benefit from the other "four lower rates on up to the first $250,000 of their income." For instance, "Filers with taxable income of $500,000 to $1 million would still get on average a tax cut of $6,700 compared with pre-2001 rates, according to the data from the tax analysts. But that compares with roughly $17,500 if the top Bush tax rates were maintained."
A graphic created by The Washington Post shows the average tax cut for taxpayers at each income level under the Democrats' plan "which extends cuts only for families making less than $250,000 a year," and the Republicans' proposal to extend all cuts:
Fox has repeatedly defended tax cuts for the wealthy
Payne calls extending tax cuts for those making less than $250K "politics of envy." On the November 19 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Fox Business' Charles Payne criticized Sen. Harry Reid for calling for a vote on the Bush tax cuts, saying the Democrats' proposal was an example of "politics of envy." Payne called the proposal "divisive," saying it "pit one part of America versus the other." He later added: "It's nuts. It really is nuts. And it's unfair, and it's stupid, and it's divisive, and that's -- and it's ripping this country apart. It's politics of envy, pure and simple."
Bolling on cost of Bush tax cuts for wealthy: $700 billion over 10 years is "not a lot of money." On the November 9 edition of Fox News' America's Newsroom, Fox Business' Eric Bolling admitted that extending the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy would cost $700 billion over 10 years, but said "it's not a lot of money," adding, "These are the job creators who would be getting these tax cuts." Bolling had previously said that the United States would "go further into debt" if we "let the tax cuts expire."
Stossel: The "takers" are "mad that some people are rich" and will "suck the life out of America." On the October 12 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, Stossel discussed a new special on his program that would look at "the battle between the makers and the takers," saying that "you get to a certain point where if Peter can get the government to take from Paul, and there are more Peters, Peter's gonna vote for that, and that sucks the life out of America. So, we're at a tipping point." He then claimed that the "takers" "feel entitled and they're mad that some people are rich and they're not getting their share, and their route is through government."
Doocy called rolling back tax cuts for the rich a "great big economic experiment." On the October 6 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, co-host Steve Doocy asserted that "the argument is" that the wealthy, "those are the people, the most successful people, who hire the people, and is, during a big recession, the time to be raising taxes on everybody?" When guest Deidre Hall pointed out that the wealthy are "not hiring people" and "it's not trickling down," Doocy replied: "Is this the time, though, Deidre, for us to be doing a great big economic experiment?"
Kilmeade: "If you're making $250,000, you are not 'very rich.' " On the September 13 edition of Fox & Friends, discussing polls showing that Americans favor extending the Bush tax cuts for the middle class, co-host Brian Kilmeade stated: "If the administration is looking at these polls, and Republicans are looking at these polls, and they see the majority of the country, including most independents, don't mind seeing those tax cuts evaporate for the so-called 'very rich' -- if you're making $250,000, you are not 'very rich.' " He then asked if the wealthy could argue that if they were allowed to keep more of their own money, that it would mean more jobs for the middle class.
Varney: Rate at which wealthy are taxed is "not moral." On the September 10 edition of Fox & Friends, Fox Business host Stuart Varney asserted that it's "flat-out wrong" that "we can't afford to extend these tax cuts to the rich and if you do, if you let them keep more of their money, they won't spend it. They won't stimulate the economy." He later asked: "Is it moral to take more than half of anybody's income? 'Cause that's what we're doing right now. ... I maintain that is not moral and it's un-American."
Kilmeade replied: Taxing the wealthy "robs you of your ambition." On the September 10 Fox & Friends, Kilmeade said of ending the tax cuts: "On some level, it robs you of your ambition and your push and your drive." He then asked: "Why am I just gonna pay somebody else for my success?"
Fox has previously accused Dems of engaging in "class warfare"
For Hannity, not extending Bush tax cuts for top-earners still means one thing: "class warfare." On the November 17 edition of his Fox News show, Sean Hannity stated: "The question is: The Bush tax cuts are gonna expire in January. ... Do they stay with this class warfare battle that they've been pushing?" Republican strategist Nicolle Wallace replied: "The Democrats have run national campaigns on class warfare, and it didn't work. It's failed in every corner of the United States, so if this is what the White House and their axis of out-of-the-mainstream policies -- if this is what they want to run, they're gonna set Republicans up in a much stronger position for 2012."
Cavuto: "Folks are rising up" against this "class warfare crap." On his November 7 show, Cavuto reported on a defeated measure in Washington state that would have imposed an income tax on the state's wealthy, saying that the measure was an indication of a "government that keeps trying to pit us against each other." He stated: "I'm told fewer than 3 percent [of the state's residents make more than $200,000], yet, 65 percent of all voters said, 'This is stupid.' And they nixed it. Clearly, they're not all rich, but, clearly, they're finding all of this 'gouge the rich' getting rich. ... Folks are rising up and saying, enough with this class warfare crap. We're not at war with each other; we're at war with the government that keeps trying to pit us against each other."
Beck: Dems position on Bush tax cuts is "the same old class warfare." On his October 5 Fox News show, Glenn Beck falsely asserted that "extending the Bush tax cuts costs nothing extra" and claimed that the Democrats' proposal "is the same old class warfare, and it is a lie." He continued: "They have no problem putting up their top economic adviser telling you that your money is theirs -- that you have no right to it." However, economists have said that extending tax cuts for the wealthy would increase the deficit while doing little to stimulate the economy.
Krauthammer: Expiration of tax cuts for the wealthy is a "desperate attempt" at "creating an issue of class war." On the September 14 edition of Special Report, panelist Charles Krauthammer claimed that extending the Bush tax cuts for wealthy earners is "a desperate attempt by Democrats in a terrible economy where they have no arguments about how they have improved it of creating an issue of class war." Krauthammer added: "Some people will respond on the class war issue, but others are gonna say it's insane to go around raising taxes in a recession."
Beck: "Class warfare, anyone?" On the July 22 edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck, Beck launched an attack on the Obama White House, claiming that it is "following huge parts" of a plan "laid out over 30 years ago" by the Weather Underground. Beck suggested that the Obama administration is attempting a "fundamental transformation of our society," the first aspect of which is "a united front against imperialism for a new democracy built on a joint dictatorship of the working class and the poor." Beck then states, "Class warfare,anyone?"
Hannity: Is "a ton of class warfare rhetoric" going to be "all we see" from Democrats? On the July 19 edition of Fox News' Hannity, host Sean Hannity and guest Newt Gingrich discussed President Obama's recent statement on extending unemployment benefits. Hannity criticized Obama for "referring to the GOP as being the party of the rich," while Gingrich claimed that Obama "seems to have a really unusual desire to divide the country and a really deep need to blame somebody else for his own failures, and as a result, you get this kind of Rose Garden comment." Hannity then suggested that "for the next 106 days we can expect a ton of class-warfare rhetoric, demagoguery as you just pointed out, and demonization, et cetera, character assassination, maybe some supportive groups playing the race card because they can't run on their record? That's what's the next 106 days are going to be like? This is going to be all we see?"
Thompson: Obama is "going to base this tax cut on rich versus poor." During a July 27 interview with Sean Hannity, Fred Thompson asserted that: "People are not as susceptible to -- to having their envy played upon as this administration thinks. They think that if they can -- can do something, even if it hurts the economy, that's going to take something away from a group that they're not a part of, the 2 or 3 percent, the way they like to put it, that that will go over well politically and they can win that, you know. Rich versus poor." He added that the president is "going to base this tax argument on rich versus poor. Going to give everybody -- everybody in America a tax cut, in effect, or let the tax cuts remain for them, except just two or three percent of the people. That just happens to be a third of our consumers and produce most of our jobs."
Varney: The administration is going to engage in "class warfare." On the July 20 edition of Hannity, Varney said that because the president "cannot point to [his] record and say it was a success," he's going to "change the subject and engage in class warfare."

Wall Street was just coming to life on the first day of my Princeternship as I headed into the heart of the New York City financial district. The stock traders were already in the security line waiting to start their day at the New York Stock Exchange as I passed on my way to find Hanweck Associates. I was very excited to begin my first day. Mr. Hanweck had recommended a book for me to read on futures and derivatives over the holiday break, and I had all sorts of new terms like "options" and "short sales" bouncing around in my head. I made my way to his offices on Broad St. on the 42nd floor. Mr. Hanweck and his staff were very welcoming to me as I arrived. I toured around the offices (which have a great view of the Statue of Liberty) and received a general overview of the business. I was extremely interested in this Princeternship opportunity because Mr. Hanweck had been a mathematics major at Princeton who put his degree to use creating a business which predicts risk and benefits based on different market variables. I was thrilled to get some "hands on" experience my first day editing some financial tables for different variables such as numbers for memos detailing companies that had merged and companies that had bought out other companies. I was able to spend a large part of the afternoon talking and working with one of the staff who writes the computer algorithms that the company uses to make their predictions. My professional interests lie in the area of applied mathematics, and this was exactly the kind of experience I was looking for: to be able to see real world applications of statistics and quantitative measures. I also loved the office atmosphere; everyone seemed to love their work, and the vibe was not as high pressured and intense as I feared an office near Wall Street might be. I had a great first day, and I am very grateful to Mr. Hanweck for providing me with the opportunity to learn about his business.
Now that I knew more about the people and work at Hanweck Associates, I was not anxious and just very excited to begin Day 2 of my Princeternship. I was looking forward to continuing with my data entry project. I arrived at the office, greeted everyone I met yesterday, and started to work with the goal of trying to complete the project by the end of the day. As I worked, I could get a good sense of the flow of work in the office with various meetings and teleconferences. I took a brief break at lunch time to walk around Wall St. I found the "raging bull" statue and took a picture. Coming back from lunch, I settled back to my computer for more data entry. I kept working steadily and finished the project by the end of the day, only pausing to take a few breaks to look out at Staten Island and the Statue of Liberty. I would have to think that it would be inspiring to be able to have that view from your office every day. As I left for the day, Mr. Hanweck told me that he had a new, exciting project for me tomorrow. I can't wait!
Today was my third and final day of my Princeternship at Hanweck Associates. I was joined today by Princeton sophomore Lucia Wang, who was just beginning her Princeternship. Mr. Hanweck had not one, but two, exciting statistics tasks for us today. First, we compiled statistics on the companies in the S & P 500 as to the amount of debt the companies had taken on in 2011. When we finished this task, we looked at companies who had created "spin off" companies in 2011 and calculated the ratio of stock value between the parent company and the spin off company. I really enjoyed working on these statistics tasks as related to the financial markets. The Princeternship was an incredible experience for me in that I was able to see how mathematics and computer science are used in the financial world. All the data I was working with over the past three days is of value in making financial predictions, and I understand how the combination of the right statistics and right probabilities combined could translate into a robust predictive model. I was also able to see what it is like to be the owner of a business where the owner gets to set the pace and atmosphere for the office. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in some actual applied mathematics tasks and talk with professionals about their work and career experiences. After this Princeternship, I have a much better idea of what a career in financial engineering might entail. Mr. Hanweck was able to use his interests and skills in mathematics, computer science, and economics to create his own very successful business specializing in risk management for top-tier hedge funds, banks, broker/dealers and other financial institutions, and he still makes time for Princeton students who would like to learn from his experiences. I send my sincere thanks to Mr. Hanweck for providing me with this incredible opportunity!

Tommy Hilfiger Spring 2014
Anyone misty over summer's end was likely put at ease walking into Tommy Hilfiger's spring 2014 show, for which he seemed to have transported a stretch of Amagansett to Pier 94. But the sand dunes on the runway, if you want to get technical, were the only thing East Coast about Hilfiger's beachy collection. "We're a little bit obsessed with the West Coast," said the designer at Hilfiger headquarters a few days before his show. (So obsessed, in fact, that they've made it a verb—"westcoasting"—and plastered it on the wall there.) Not to mention, he continued, "people look at the California lifestyle as very American and very cool."
So Hilfiger presented a lineup of surfer-and-skater-inspired looks, mostly revolving around the wetsuit: the bright, color-blocked T-shirt-style dresses in neoprene had that unmistakable stitching and front zipper, and there were sporty rounded jackets, paired with tiny shorts, in the same squishy fabric. Flippy, vivid skirts were worn with chunky knits that look at home on the beach, but could also work street-side come next summer as well.
There was a more grown-up vibe to the easy chambray suits with sporty red and navy trim (scuba suits with cutouts worn underneath) and the oversize Hawaiian-print silk shirt dresses, which looked a lot like the same silhouette sported by more than one fashion editor around the shows this week.
The sand on the floor was a little treacherous for anyone in heels, but that aside, the collection was just upbeat and sunny enough to make one believe, even if just for a few minutes, in the idea of an endless summer.

There must be something in the water. How else can you explain what has happened to Buffalo's two professional teams this year? Something must have been added to the water that is taking the strength away from the players who don the uniforms of the Buffalo Sabres and the Buffalo Bills. Both teams have experienced an utter collapse in their respected seasons and there is no other reason for it except for some kind of drugging.

GSA's Pugliese Named Government Executive of the Year
October 30, 1997
Contact: Hap Connors
(202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -- The U.S. General Services Administration announced today that Frank P. Pugliese Jr., the agency's Commissioner of its Federal Supply Service, was honored last night as Government Computer News's "Government Executive of the Year" for expanding the use of information technology tools that simplify and cut the costs of federal procurement.
The Government Computer News Agency Awards for excellence in information resources management are given each year to one civilian and military federal agency and one private sector organization with a record of excellence in the application of information technology to improve services delivery. This year's ceremony was held last night in Washington, DC. Pugliese's FSS was noted for streamlining the acquisition process, and for creating GSA Advantage!, a state-of-the-art electronic ordering system for federal procurement.
David J. Barram, GSA Administrator, said, "Frank Pugliese and his team at GSA's Federal Supply Service epitomize the best instincts of a government that meets the challenges of an increasingly competitive environment by being innovative to meet the needs of federal agencies."
As Commissioner of GSA's FSS, Pugliese manages 3,400 employees who supply more than $14 billion in goods and services to federal departments and agencies worldwide. He also manages a worldwide fleet of 150,000 vehicles, travel and transportation services and the reuse and sale of surplus personal property for civilian and military agencies.
Since joining GSA 26 years ago, Pugliese has worked in all major GSA program areas, thereby bringing broad management experience to FSS when he joined the service in 1992 as Deputy Commissioner. Since taking over as Commissioner in 1994, he has led employees through a period of unprecedented growth and reinvention. While employment levels have dropped 25 percent, FSS supplies more goods and services today than ever before.
Pugliese and FSS have received numerous awards and acknowledgments for their contributions to improve government. His commitment to deficit reduction and cost effectiveness in government earned him the 1995 Presidential Rank Award. Last year, FSS received a Computerworld Smithsonian Award for the development of GSA Advantage!. The Coalition for Government Procurement honored Pugliese in 1996 with its "Common Sense in Government Award" -- a first for an executive agency official.

Asheville, N.C. - Former Brevard College baseball standout Jordan Hotchkiss has been tearing up the mound for the Cincinnati Reds' High-A affiliate in Lynchburg, Va. as reported by Asheville Citizen-Times' Tyler Goode.
Hotchkiss has allowed one earned run in nine appearances, accumulating a 0.63 earned run average through 14 1/3 innings. His earned run average is the lowest on the team among pitchers with more than one appearance, and it is also lower than the eight professional pitchers with ties to Western North Carolina.

Tornados Halted in SalisburyFebruary 22, 2014
SALISBURY, N.C.- The Brevard College men's basketball team couldn't hold a second-half lead against Catawba College on Saturday afternoon as the Indians rallied to take a 90-79 win in South Atlantic Conference action from Goodman Gym.
With BC (4-20, 4-16 SAC) ahead 63-62 at the 12:35 mark in the second half, the Indians (7-17, 7-13 SAC) engineered a 21-8 run to take a 83-71 lead with 5:20 remaining in the game.
The Tornados answered with six straight points to make it a six-point game with 3:46 left but couldn't get any closer before Catawba pushed their lead back to double digits to put the game away.
Leathers finished with a game-high 25 points and eight boards while freshman Trevon Shaw had 19 points and six rebounds.
The Tornados started strong and led by as many as eight points in the opening half before taking a 48-45 lead into the break. BC had the lead for the final 7:28 of the first half after Miles Leathers broke a 25-25 tie with a layup in the midst of seven straight points for the Tornados.
Alex Moe narrowly missed a double-double, going for 10 points and nine rebounds while Darius Moose netted 15 points to go with seven boards.
Five Indians finished in double figures, highlighted by a 16-point, 13-rebound double-double from Vismantas Marijosius.
The Tornados return to Boshamer Gymnasium for their final two games of the season as they host Mars Hill on Wednesday and Wingate on Saturday. Tipoff for Wednesday's game against the Lions (6-19, 4-16 SAC) is set for 8 p.m.

With home building at a near standstill and the government promising financial stimulus for energy-producing and conservation initiatives, a number of industry, private, and government cooperative programs have emerged to help builders and tradespeople get back to work.
Although these programs focus on residential construction, their mission is to train or retrain skilled trades to become "green-collar workers" for solar- and wind-power product installation, home-energy auditing, and other energy-related jobs with near-term employment and career-growth potential.
"A lot of training for green industry includes transferable skills from construction workers," says Chris Stoneman, who oversees Green Workforce Development for iCAST, a Colorado-based not-for-profit group that helps create and organize community-based sustainable infrastructure projects and employment training. "Our target audience is unemployed personnel. Some of the training requires specific skills, but our programs target people with GEDs [high school equivalency diplomas] up to professional architects."
Thanks to a Colorado Department of Labor grant, iCAST is currently offering training courses through June for residential energy-efficiency auditors and installers. An online version of the group's Solar Power Systems Installation course, offered in January, is under development. Information is available at icastusa.org.
The Home Builders Institute, a workforce development and training arm of the NAHB, is also focusing on retraining industry workers–and attracting and training new trainees–to green jobs.
"Our goal is to 'green out' our existing Residential Construction Academy programs with new textbooks and curriculums," says Carlos Martin, who heads up the NAHB's green-building training program. Classes now offered or in development include energy-efficient practices for indoor air quality, water conservation, home-siting, and educating homeowners and buyers about energy conservation.
While professional-certification retraining for green building and green energy skills has been available to NAHB members for over a year, "there's a whole lot of discussion" taking place within the organization on how to increase the amount and content of green programs, Martin says. For further details, go to hbi.org.

Alexandria, Va., September 11, 2013—A new online survey conducted by Harris Interactive on behalf of the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI), the international trade association representing 100 small engine, utility vehicle and outdoor power equipment manufacturers and suppliers, finds that U.S. consumers are ill-prepared for the introduction of higher ethanol fuel blends.
EPA has approved the introduction of some mid-level ethanol blends (E15, E30, E85) for use in a small, subset of automobiles in an effort to comply with the federal renewable fuel mandate; the problem is that these higher ethanol fuel blends may be dispensed alongside current fuels, but they are illegal and risky to use in hundreds of millions of small engine products and applications.
This includes small engine products, such as mowers, garden tractors, chain saws, boats, snow throwers, trimmers, UTVs, power washers, blowers, chippers, grinders, generators, jaws of life, concrete saws and other compact construction equipment, as well as small engine applications such as water pumps and irrigation systems.
The study conducted on behalf of OPEI from July 31-August 2, 2013 surveyed 2,040 U.S. adults ages 18 and older about their fuel buying behavior and fuel awareness at gas stations.

This is the trouser press made in England by John Corby, Ltd., inventor of the original pants presser and supplier of fine hotels. The 250-watt heating pad quickly removes wrinkles and sharpens creases in both pant legs at once. Unlike repeated ironing, the trouser press will not impart a surface sheen on garments and the built-in thermostatic control prevents scorched fabrics. The stretcher bar system pulls trousers taut to eliminate the need to straighten fabric before pressing and it removes stubborn back-of-the knee wrinkles that are left behind by traditional irons. The timer has 15-, 30-, or 45-minute settings for light to heavy fabrics and the LED display indicates time elapsed. More than a press, the unit has an integrated contoured suit coat hanger, a tray that holds cuff links or a money clip, and a retractable tie bar. 44" L x 15 1/2" W x 13" D. (20 lbs.)
Lifetime Guarantee
The Classic Corby Trouser Press comes with The Hammacher Schlemmer Lifetime Guarantee. If this product ever disappoints you, for any reason, you may return your Hammacher Schlemmer purchase for exchange, credit, or refund.

You don't know what you are missing
By JK
from Eastern Shore, MD
This is an exceptional product. We purchased our first Corby about 12 years ago from Hammacher Schlemmer. We have recently moved and realized that the heating element was beginning to fade and the inside cover was very worn. After 12 years of constant daily use, it is not surprising that it needs to be replaced. Basically whatever pants my husband or I have worn during the day, wool, cotton, etc. go directly into the Corby and onto a hanger. They look as if they have just come back from the dry cleaners. In addition, pants fresh out of the wash often go into the Corby. Because we were in the process of moving and stayed with friends for a number of weeks, I waited to order a new one. But as soon as we were in our new house, I placed the order. My husband was both surprised and thrilled. This is one of those appliances that you don't know what you are missing until you have tried it. I can't imagine being disappointed with your purchase.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Love the Corby Trouser Press
By mimi of many
from Selma, AL
We had another brand and when it wore out, we ordered the Corby. So far, we are very pleased with the Corby because it seems to have more heat and having the choice between 15, 30, and 45 minutes is most helpful. Our other presser did last about twenty years, so I hope this one has a long a life. Having a presser has saved us a great deal of dry cleaning expense over the years.

Very good product, just wish it were taller.
By Charlie
from Atlanta, GA
I just wish it were taller. I wear a 32' inseam and the unit isn't tall enough to accommodate the entire length of my pants in one go.
Third one is a charm
By Patient
from Fort Lauderdale, FL
I use the pants press after every wearing of my linen pants. It does a great job of pressing them; I even turn the pants around and place the upper portion into the press as well, when the lower portion has finished. I have found it also works on the sleeves of my linen jackets.My main complaint is that the first two that were shipped to me were defective; they just did not work at all. So we had to assemble them (not difficult, but still) try them in a few sockets to discover it was really their fault, not ours, and then dissassemble them, and repackage them for shipment back. TWICE.So if you are willing to risk all the above, the product, when it works, is quite good.
Hammacher Schlemmer Response: We apologize for your experience with this product and appreciate your patience with us. We are glad to hear you are enjoying your working unit!
Perfect creases every time
By Wordsmith
from Chappaqua, NY
This is the second Corby press I've owned -- I had the first for 25 years! The new one is even better. I use it for both dress and casual pants -- makes them look crisp.
A great classic product
By Bill
from Chapel Hill, NC
This replaced a previous Colby trouser presser that we had used for over 20 years and that finally wore out from frequent use (the heating pad became wrinkled and imparted the wrinkles onto the pressed trousers). The present model is essentially the same as the older model but with slightly more modern electronic controls. We keep it in our shared closet and use it to press trousers and pants. It was delivered quickly, was packed securely without any damage and took only a few minutes to set up. We can recommend it without reservation for those who want to have neatly pressed trousers without going to the dry cleaners or bringing out an ironing board and iron.

Mailbox Safety
The following videos show crash testing of safe and unsafe mailbox installations:
|Mailbox FAQs
Who furnishes the mailboxes?
The postal patron provides a mailbox of light sheet metal or plastic construction that conforms to the requirements of the U.S. Postal Service.
Who installs the mailboxes?
It is TxDOT policy to furnish and install mailbox supports for all rural postal patrons located on state maintained highways. This service is provided free of charge.
Can I install a commercial or custom made mailbox support?
Many types of custom and commercially available mailboxes and mailbox supports are potentially hazardous if hit by a vehicle. TxDOT will only allow mailboxes which are U.S. Postal Service approved and safety supports which have been crash tested and known to be safe.
Can I personalize or decorate my mailbox and/or mailbox support?
Yes, you may paint or apply stickers or decals for names, addresses and/or designs. However, other decorative items that are attached add weight and can become hazardous objects if the mailbox were to be struck by a vehicle. These items may not be attached to the mailbox or to its support.

I had a couple of fairly thin pork chops and I wanted to do something more than just grill them, so I flipped through my books until I came across the St. Louis Pork Steaks in BBQ USA. Even though steaks have a lot more marbling I figured the recipe would work well with the chops because they were the bone-on rib cut, and would be less likely to dry out than a boneless loin chop.
I salted and rubbed on the chops and let them sit in the fridge for about 24 hours.
The recipe calls for a sweet, Maull's-style sauce but I didn't have any, and since I had 2 chops I figured I might as well try 2 different sauces. After grilling 1 side I flipped them and added the sauce while the other side cooked, but I only sauced the 1 side because I didn't want the sauce to burn.
It had been a long time - years, even - since I'd last sauced chops and I'd forgotten how good they could be. When I was younger sauce was the only way to get my dad's extremely well-done chops down but it's a whole different thing when the chops would be fine on their own.

There are many variants of this type of adapter, first off check the label on the back and does it say speedbooster on the front?
>The wusb54gc is compatible with BT
>The wusb54gsc is the speedbooster version and is not compatible.
>The wusb54g is not compatible.
I say this as many companies will restock with another variant, not change the order page on their website and will send you a different version when you place an order. Your adapter should be recognised as rausb0 although you will need the advanced drivers to use the aircrack suite.

I have a 4 not a 4S yet. I do still have AT&T because I'm grandfathered in to unlimited data AND frequently use the data while talking on the phone (a feature I understand not to be available through Verizon.)
Things I use my phone for: texts, emails, camera, checking account monitoring, checking prices on amazon, and checking modmyi because I like the layout of the app better than the layout of the full-blown web page.
Overall the coverage in my area is pretty good. 3G speeds are beyond adequate for me. Not saying I won't eventually enjoy 4g, but I'm not dying for it.
Unlimited data is a must for me because the wifi in my house sucks (lousy ISP)... And the fact that I don't have a landline means I need to have the option of still using my data while making a call all on one device.
I think Samsung makes a nice tablet. I think their phone looks cheesy and childish. For whatever reason it just seems more geared towards a much younger crowd when I look at the physical design of the device.
Android is a little bit too wonky for me to want in a phone, though it does seem like it would make a lot of sense in a tablet, and I probably would choose Samsung for an android tablet (but that's neither here nor there).
Regardless, I thought the ads were so/so at first, but it seems like it'd be more effective advertising if they had just made one or two and then had a different theme (not droid fans showing off to people in line) for another set of commercials, and volleyed the two themes. But hey what do I know?
Side note: the fact that apple has FANS who are willing to wait for a day on a sidewalk is something that company should be proud as hell about. Samsung wishes so many people wanted to do that for their devices, but pretty much nobody does so instead they make fun of it. Cute! I've never waited on the sidewalk for any product because I like to give any new electronic 3-6 months for somebody to work out the kinks. But apple's packaging is a thing of beauty, and I buy products for my family (and talk them into buying more products of their own) from apple just so I can re-experience the thrill of opening their beautifully presented packages. There's my not-so-deep-dark secret.
As for the apple/pc commercials... Yes it was obviously a similar concept, but they managed to make PC a lovably obsolete goofball, a characterization which carries with it a certain amount of respect. In these commercials, Samsung just tries to make it look like anybody who buys an iPhone didn't know there were other options.... which is obviously not the case.
Samsung is bashing the same customers that they are counting on to enjoy/purchase their phones.
And how about just stopping posting "news" about this?
I was already sick of the first ad, now it's vomiting all the way around. Bashing apple? Only apple haters would say so. It's bashing customers, who, if i'm not mistaken by the definition of the "ad" should be attracted to the "device" which is being advertised.
Yeah... instead of making me want to buy galaxy phone it made me not willing to buy ANY samsung device. And oh boy, i do not have an iPhone, i have HTC...
What seemingly remains to be said is what android fans that fit samsungs applefanboy stereotype must think.
I don't understand these ads. What company wouldn't be stoked about having its users camp out waiting for their newest product. All this shows is Apple's fans are more dedicated than the rest. If someone is willing to camp out in line for the iPhone then how is this ad insulted them going to change their minds? Bearing that in mind who then is Samsung targeting with these ads if not the Apple fans willing to camp out?
Also, why are there so many Android users posting on a site dedicated to iDevice news? Are these people trolling just for the sake of doing so or do they own at least an iPod, iPad, etc. ?
Just a tad bit of quick research before you post goes a long way.
Samsung is not releasing a Galaxy S II a couple of months after the Galaxy S II., a couple is 2 and the Galaxy S II was introduced in Feb 2011--a year ago !! and released in May.
what's more striking is that the iPhone 4S was released in what, in October and apple's most diehard fans are already talking about the iPhone 5 !!!
If the videos wont play on your iPhone try playing it on your Android phone instead.
All I have to say is let the specs do the talking and compare 2011 iphone 4S to Galaxy S 2. Here let me help you out with that....
Use some common sense, people. Those willing to camp put for days for an iPhone probably aren't even going to considered the SGSII. As such, Samsung is not considering them potential customers. They are saying, to the rest of the world, "look at these ******s standing in line. Here, have (what we consider) a better phone, without having to stand in line for days to get it". It is literally that simple. They aren't alienating a whole lot of their potential clients because they know they probably don't have that in a die-hard Apple fan anyway...

I need to generate a rather very complex MySQL list and I am having problems getting the right results.
Description:we have 2 Tables: community_members traffic_xchange
community_members has a list of Web sites that link back to us, which table has these fields:id: INT this is the primary Keyurl: VARCHARdisplay: enum (yes no)plus many other fields. so this table gives us the info as to which Web site sent us the click
traffic_xchange table has these fields:url_id which is the foreign key for linking this to community_members tableclicks_rec: which indicates how many clicks they we have received from the community memberclicks_del: which indicates how many clicks we have delivered to them in exchange
So we need to generate a list which shows to us 5 of the Community Members, say selected in random, whose total number of clicks_delivered < clicks_received for a given url of theirs.
I tried this:
SELECT url, LEFT(title, 25) AS mini_title, LEFT(description, 45) AS mini_desc, traffic_xchange.id, community_members.id AS url_id, admin_confed
FROM community_members, traffic_xchange
WHERE community_members.id = url_id
AND clicks_del < clicks_rec AND title IS NOT NULL AND display = 'yes'
GROUP BY url
And it seemed to work correct at 1st, but now I see that it is in fact putting a member on the list even though the sum of clicks_delivered to them is LARGER than the clicks_recived from them which should not be the case.
So what to do to generate this list so that for a given Web site (url_id) they will be displayed on the list ONLY if the sum of clicks delivered to them is < sum of clicks received from them?
your problem is the GROUP BY clause
why did you put that in your query?
remove it and see what happens
We have the GROUP BY clause so that a Web site (community member) would appear only once in the list.
But I still did your suggestion, just to see if the problem I had written about was addressed, and it was not.
then you have a different problem, don't you -- duplicate data in your table
"community_members has a list of Web sites that link back to us"
why would you allow the same web site to be listed more than once?
my advice is to fix that first, not mess around trying to use queries to cover up this flaw
I looked into your comment just to make sure we had not made the error of listing a community member (web site) more than once in that Table.And it is not. That is each community member (Web site) is listed only once in the community_members Table.
However of course their Traffic exchange reports are listed many times in the traffic_xchange Table, which opens an entry for each day for the Traffic that they send us and we send them in exchange.
you should have mentioned this earlier
SELECT community_members.url
, LEFT(community_members.title, 25) AS mini_title
, LEFT(community_members.description, 45) AS mini_desc
, traffic_xchange.id
, community_members.id AS url_id
, community_members.admin_confed
FROM community_members
FROM traffic_xchange
WHERE clicks_del < clicks_rec ) AS x
ON x.url_id = community_members.id
WHERE community_members.title IS NOT NULL
AND community_members.display = 'yes'
It gives Error message that:
Unknown table 'traffic_xchange' in field list
And just to be sure I issued:DESCRIBE traffic_xchange;
and it produced the description of Table traffic_xchange, so there is no misspelling.
Also FYI, I replaced in your command:traffic_xchange.idwithx.id
and got same Error:Unknown column 'x.id' in 'field list'
ah yes, sorry
okay, just remove it from the SELECT clause, because you don't need it
Except that we absolutely need the traffic_xchange.id since we use this id to keep track of how many free Clicks we have delivered to a member for the unique clicks that they have delivered to us. To be exact each row in traffic_xchange holds the info about each community members URL from which URL they have sent us for a given day and how many clicks we have sent them.
Also there is another problem with your code, well actually my code too, that is we need to take into account the SUM of clicks that they have sent us from a given URL for all the dates versus the SUM of clicks that we have send them AND if SUM of our clicks sent them is less than SUM of the clicks they have sent us then and only then should we pull up their info from the community Table and list them under the Free Ads to stand to get more free clicks from us. But right now, both my original code, and your suggested code, are not dealing with SUMs!
As I said this is a complex MySQL command
isn't it interesting that you neglected to mention this until now
okay, each row in community_members can have multiple related rows in traffic_xchange, and you want all of those traffic_xchange rows to be summed up, right?
so, out of the multiple traffic_xchange rows for a given community member, which traffic_xchange.id do you want? they're all unique, right?
*** The last traffic_xchange.id can be used for the purpose of updating the number of free clicks that we sent them, which is clicks_del. Because what we care are is to only display their Ads for free, which means their URL from the community Table, for as long as the SUM(clicks_del) is less than SUM(clicks_rec) which is the number of clicks they sent us.
SELECT community_members.url
, LEFT(community_members.title, 25) AS mini_title
, LEFT(community_members.description, 45) AS mini_desc
, x.sum_del
, x.sum_rec
, x.latest_id
, community_members.id AS url_id
, community_members.admin_confed
FROM community_members
JOIN ( SELECT url_id
, SUM(clicks_del) AS sum_del
, SUM(clicks_rec) AS sum_rec
, MAX(id) AS latest_id
FROM traffic_xchange
BY url_id
HAVING sum_del < sum_rec ) AS x
ON x.url_id = community_members.id
WHERE community_members.title IS NOT NULL
AND community_members.display = 'yes'
My hat off to you Your code seems to be working just fine.And it has also shown me how much extra free Traffic we have been delivering so many community members!
Well ThanX again.I tell you we should have you be in charge of our MySQL stuff OTN, I look and look at your code and cannot figure what the hek it is doing
glad it worked out okay for you

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interest
Epigenetic Control of Genome Function in Brain Development and Disease
Key Words: Epigenetics, DNA Methylation, Epigenomic Editing, CRISPR, MeCP2, CDKL5, Rett Syndrome, Autism
Description of Research
A fundamental question in Genetics and Neuroscience is how the brain executes genetic programs while maintaining the ability to adapt to the environment. The underlying molecular mechanisms are not well understood, but epigenetic regulation, mediated by DNA methylation and chromatin organization, provides an intricate platform bridging genetics and the environment, and allows for the integration of intrinsic and environmental signals into the genome and subsequent translation of the genome into stable yet adaptive functions in the brain. Impaired epigenetic regulation has been implicated in many brain disorders, including monogenetic diseases such as CDKL5 disorder and Rett Syndrome, and diseases with complex genetic traits such as epilepsy, major depression and autism.
We are interested in understanding the epigenetic mechanisms that integrate environmental factors with genetic code to govern neural network formation and function in the brain, and how defects in this process may lead to intellectual disability. We use a combination of genomic and genetic approaches, together with cellular and behavioral assays in genetically modified mice, to investigate the dynamic changes of the epigenome, the functional interpretation of the epigenome, the molecular basis of adaptive behaviors, and the pathogenic mechanisms of CDKL5 disorder and Rett Syndrome. It is our hope to ultimately translate our findings into therapeutic development.
1) Understanding the epigenetic memory encoding gene-environment interactions
The genetic underpinnings of mental health disorders are highly complex, involving multifaceted interactions between risk genes and the environment. It is known that environmental factors such as adverse early life events confer significantly greater susceptibility to psychiatric conditions later in life. But, the epigenetic mechanisms by which environmental factors interact with genetic programs in the nervous system remain poorly understood. We have developed novel genetically modified mice and aim to identify the epigenetic modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, induced by environmental factors in defined neural circuits and defined populations of neurons. We are interested in elucidating the signaling pathways that convert environmental signals to changes in the epigenome and how changes in the epigenome modulate animal behaviors.
2) Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of CDKL5 disorder
The term "CDKL5 disorder" refers to patients carrying genetic mutations in the X-linked gene encoding cyclin-dependent kinase-like 5 (CDKL5). Patients with CDKL5 dysfunction show early onset intractable seizures and severe neurodevelopmental impairment, and are frequently diagnosed with a number of disorders including Infantile Spasms, West Syndrome, Lennox-Gastaut, atypical Rett Syndrome, and Autism. To gain insight into the pathogenic mechanisms underlying CDKL5-related disorders, we have developed mouse models in which the Cdkl5 gene is ablated or modified. We found that loss of functional CDKL5 disrupts multiple signal transduction pathways, impairs event-related potentials, and leads to autistic-like phenotypes in mice. We plan to identify the molecular targets of CDKL5, dissect the signaling cascades responsible for autistic-like phenotypes, and investigate the neural mechanisms by which CDKL5 dysfunction leads to early onset seizures and cognitive deficits.
3) Elucidating the molecular basis of Rett Syndrome
Rett Syndrome (RTT) is an autism spectrum disorder characterized by developmental regression, motor dysfunction, and cognitive deficits. The majority of RTT cases are associated with mutations in an X-linked gene encoding MeCP2, a methyl-CpG binding protein involved in organizing chromatin and modulating gene expression. To understand the molecular pathogenesis of RTT, we have developed mouse models recapitulating RTT-associated mutations. We found that mice with RTT-associated MeCP2 T158A mutation show RTT-like phenotypes and deficits in neural circuitry. The T158A mutation decreases binding of MeCP2 to methylated DNA, reduces MeCP2 protein stability, and disrupts particular gene transcription and dendritic morphogenesis in a neuronal cell type-dependent manner. We aim to define the role of methyl-DNA binding of MeCP2 in protein stability, delineate the cellular origin of impaired neural circuitry, and elucidate the mechanisms by which MeCP2 modulates neuronal cell-type specific function.
4) Exploring the coding and decoding of the methylome in neurons
Cytosine methylation (5mC), mostly at CpG dinucleotides in mammals, is a central epigenetic mark essential for development. While we can now profile genome-wide DNA methylation at single-base resolution (sequencing methylome), how the methylome is established and maintained, and how the cell interprets the methylome to affect gene expression and chromatin structure remain poorly understood. Moreover, recent studies have challenged the stability of the methylome in postmitotic neurons and have coupled changes in DNA methylation at specific loci to adaptive behaviors. We are interested in understanding how DNA methylation is coded and decoded genome-wide but with locus-specificity in neurons. Given the high abundance of hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in the brain, we set up to address the functional significance of 5mC and 5hmC in neural development, the role of the methylome in the establishment of neuronal identity, and the molecular mechanisms by which the methylome modulates genome function in the brain.

Family Therapist
David Palmiter, Ph.D., ABPP
Clinical Psychcologist
Scranton, Pennsylvania
The family therapy I do is in situations when a child or teen is acting out. A child or teen might be defiant, or aggressive, or failing in school, or in trouble with the law or abusing substances or lying excessively or acting promiscuously, or some combination of these and other negative behaviors. The family therapy I do is preceded by a thorough and state-of-the art evaluation of both the youth and the youth's system. I then set measurable goals with a family and follow it up with behaviorally oriented family therapy. In this approach, there are specific and structured strategies brought to bear and home, and often and school, to enhance a child or teen's odds of being highly successful.

Each family member has wants and needs, especially for recognition, desire to be noticed, loved and valued. Because each person has his/her own developmental needs, perspective and temperament, often conflict gets in the way of resolving issues. Effective communication and learning how to resolve issues, as they arise, can save years of family hurt and turmoil. Therapy sessions can help to stabilize family relationships and suggest effective patterns of behavior that will lead to a better situation. Family Therapist Harlene Arenberg from Scranton Pennsylvania, (18505), Harlene always available to meet with you for family counseling sessions.

The "Family Crucible" as coined by the late Carl Whitaker, can be the greatest source of strength in our lives or it can be a source of pain. Our families of origin are always part of us for the rest of our lives. Family therapy helps us to discover who we are and who we want to become as a differentiated person apart from my family. It helps us to grow up and take responsibility for our own lives apart from family influence allowing us to make decisions about our lives, our relationships, and our decisions in general. As a Family Therapist I help people distinguish between healthy and unhealthy families and guide them in their quest for the healthy family they so desire.

George Allen,
Republican senator from Virginia, was cruising toward reelection to a second term until he made a series of missteps in the late summer and early fall. In August, he referred to a Democratic campaign volunteer of Indian descent as a "macaca," a slur against African immigrants. News accounts later reported that he once hung a Confederate flag at his home and hung a noose from a tree in his law office. Allen dug himself deeper into a hole in September; after recently learning from his mother she is Jewish, he denied the fact to a reporter. When he finally admitted that his maternal grandparents were Jews, he said, "I still had a ham sandwich for lunch." Allen was defeated by former secretary of the navy James H. Webb by a slim margin in the November election.

Feminism | Posted by Julie Z on 04/15/2010
Male Studies (As Opposed to Women's Studies)
On Monday, the New York Times reported about the creation of a "Male Studies" program at Wagner College in Staten Island.
Christina Hoff Sommers, a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of "The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men" decided to throw in her two cents (and really, that's what it's worth) saying, "I am concerned that it's widespread in the United States that masculinity is politically incorrect."
Dr. Lionel Tiger, a professor of anthropology at Rutgers, and supporter of Male Studies, identifies feminism as the root of all evil, calling it, "a well-meaning, highly successful, very colorful denigration of maleness as a force, as a phenomenon."
Wow. Where to start? Well, first of all, the last …

About Martinborough(mahr-tin-bore-ooh)
Situated on the southern tip of the North Island, Martinborough is just across the strait from Marlborough. Martinborough is a town, as well as a region within Wairarapa, which, in turn, is located within the region of Wellington. Just to add more confusion, Wellington is also the name of the city there, the capital of New Zealand. Sometimes the names of these three regions are interchanged, but know that all three names mean the wine has come from the bottom tip of New Zealand's North Island.
