Title:"Gonadotrophin-Releasing Hormone — the Reproductive Axis and Beyond"
Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) is a hypothalamic decapeptide with an undisputed role as a primary regulator of reproduction. It exerts this regulation by controlling the release of the pituitary gonadotrophins. However, it is becoming apparent that GnRH may have a variety of other vital roles in normal physiology, which remains poorly understood. Reconsideration of the potential widespread action that is traditional reproductive hormone exerts may lead to the generation of novel therapies and provide insight into the seemingly incongruent outcomes from current treatments using GnRH analogues to combat diseases such prostate cancer.

Title: "Manipulating Innate Immunity to Promote Recovery After Spinal Cord Injury"
Microglia and macrophages, collectively referred to as CNS mocrophages, are the predominant cells of innate immunity that influence outcome after traumatic or ischemic injury to the brain or spinal cord. These cells can be neurotoxic or support various indices of CNS repair. Understanding the mechanisms that regulate these divergent functions should lead to the development of novel therapeutics for various neurological disorders. In this presentation, data will be presented describing the complex regulation of CNS macrophages function along with prospects for controlling these cells to promote CNS repair.

Title: "Genetical/Genomics Reveal Why Animals (and Humans) Drink Alcohol"
Abstract: The consumption of Alcohol is an integral component of the behavior of approximately 70% of the American public. The levels of alcohol consumption are related to alcohol-related problems including accidents, violence, and alcohol dependence. In both non-human animals and humans, heritable factors play a role in one's predisposition to quantities of alcohol consumed on average. We used the genetical/genomics approach (Jensen, RC and Nap, IP, Trends Genetics 17:388 (2001))

Title: "Neuroimaging of Eating Disorders"
Abstract:The conceptual framework of the pathophysiology and etiology of the eating disorders (EDs) anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN) as well as emerging ED binge disorder (BED), has undergone significant changes in the past few decades. Brain imaging techniques now give us the opportunity to assess regional brain activity and neuroreceptor function in vivo in humans, and thus may help us understand how neuronal circuits are related to behavior and pathophysiology.
A host of neuroimaging tools are now available for ED research. Structural imaging techniques such as computer tomography (CT) and radiation-free magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provide information on gross structural abnormalities. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) can detect brain chemicals containing choline, aspartame and others, which are involved in brain neurotransmission. Positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are used to assess brain activity thought to be associated with changes in regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF). In addition, neurotransmitter receptor function and regional cerebral glucose metabolism (rCGM) can be assessed with PET and SPECT and radioligands. Electroencephalography (EEG) and evoked potentials (EPs) record neuronal electrical activity, and quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) employs spectral analysis of EEG data from multiple-electrode, whole-head recordings and provides better spatial resolution compared to the traditional EEG. Recent advances in the field of brain research using neuroscience-based imaging paradigms have made great progress with respect to emotional and cognitive processes that may be altered in psychiatric illness. For example, a lot has been learned about brain pathways that are involved in fear provoked stimuli, cognitive flexibility, and numerous other areas with potentially direct relevance to eating disorders. In comparison with, for instance, psychosis or depression, the body of neurobiological research in EDs is relatively small, but nevertheless significant advances have been made over the past ten years to shed light on biologic brain processes that may be part of the pathophysiology of AN, BN, and BED.

Title: "PKMZ, LTP, Maintenance, and the Dynamic Molecular Biology of Memory Storage"
Abstract:How memories persist is a fundamental neurobiological question. The most commonly studied physiological model of memory is long-term potentiation (LTP). The molecular mechanisms of LTP can be divided into two phases: induction, triggering the potentiation; and maintenance, sustaining the potentiation over time. Although many molecules participate in induction, very few have been implicated in the mechanisms of molecules participate in induction, very few have been implicated in the mechanisms of maintenance participate in induction. Understanding maintenance, however, is critical for testing the hypothesis that LTP sustains memory storage in the brain. Only a single molecule has been found both necessary and sufficient for maintaining LTP — the brain-specific, atypical PKC isoforms, protein kinase Mzeta (PKMZ). Although full-length PKC isoforms respond to transient second messengers, and are involved in LTP induction, PKCZ is a second messenger-independent kinase, consisting of the independent catalytic domain of PKCZ, and is persistently active to sustain LTP maintenance. PKMZ is produced by a unique PKMZ mRNA, which is generated by an internal promoter within the PKC gene and transported to the dendrites of neurons. LTP induction increases new PKMZ synthesis, and the increased level of PKMZ then enhances synaptic transmission by doubling the number of post-synaptic AMPA receptors (AMPAR) through GluR2 subunit-mediated trafficking of the receptors to the synapse, PKMZ mediates synpatic potentiation specifically during the late-phase of LTP, as PKMZ inhibitors can reverse established LTP when applied several hours after tetanization in hippocampal slices or 1 day after tetanization in vivo. These studies set the stage for testing the hypothesis that the mechanism of LTP maintenance sustains memory storage. PKMZ inhibition in the hippocampus after learning eliminates the retention of spatial memory. Once the PKMZ inhibitor has been eliminated, the memory is still erased, but new spatial memories can be learned and stored. Similar results are found for conditioned taste aversion when the inhibitor is injected in the insular neocortex. Thus PKMZ is the first molecule found to be component of the long-term memory trace.

President Obama Sends Beer to Canada to Settle Olympic Hockey Bet
If I was Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, I'd declare war on the United States. They already kicked our butts in 1812, they could do it again.
Settling a bet by sending a watered down "beer" is an act of aggression, as laid out by the Geneva Convention and the UN Charter of Rights. Or at least it should be.
Canada is known for great beers. Many with ABVs of 6% or more. Ever have a Labatt Ice? 6%. Molson Dry? 7%. Maudite? 8%. La Fin Du Monde? 9%. I have a 40oz of Labatt Dry that clocks in at 10.1%! They're not kidding around up there.
So why would the White House insult our neighbors (neighbours?) to the north with a honey flavored (flavoured?) beer, further insulting them because it's only a paltry 4.89% ABV.
Maybe President Obama is just getting Canada back for inflicting Justin Bieber and Nickleback on us? Whatever. We still have the Stanley Cup. USA USA USA!

Five Stress-Relieving Foods for Heat Game 7: Guacamole to Popcorn
While the rest of Miami -- and the nation for that matter -- was wondering whether the Heat would finally show the Spurs who's boss during overtime Tuesday night, all we could think about was where we could find a massive slice of fudge cake or pint of cookie-dough ice cream. Because we're stress eaters. And stress eating is a serious problem.
To get ourselves through the big Game 7 showdown tonight, we're asking the guests at our Miami Heat watch party to bring five of our favorite stress-relieving foods. Here's a look at an alternative to the usual beer and wings. They'll keep your stress levels lower and your fragile little heart a lot happier too.
Javier Lastras via Wikimedia Commons
1. Guacamole
Avocados have tons of potassium (more than 1,000 mg in the Florida variety), which help keep your blood pressure low. Who knew a scoop of guac could do you so much good? Kinda like losing a shoe or a headband.
Reiskeks via Wikimedia Commons
2. Blueberries
They're packed with antioxidants as well as stress-fighting vitamin C. Putting out a bowl of blueberries for a basketball game seems so un-American, but we promise you that the high-fiber, low-calorie snack will get you through the next turnover.
Odd Calendar
3. Anchovy Pizza
Fish is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, which keep stress hormones under control. While ordinarily we'd recommend a plate of salmon -- and we also acknowledge that anchovies are about the grossest food on the planet -- we know there's no stopping you from ordering pizza, so you might as well top it off with a natural stress-reducer.

4. Popcorn
"This isn't a movie. It's basketball. The real deal." Yeah, we know. (Unless you believe those the-league-is-rigged conspiracy theories.) But popcorn is a good carbohydrate for naturally boosting your serotonin levels. Which is basically what happens when you're on Ecstasy, by the way.
Xavier Snelgrove via Wikimedia Commons
5. Ginger Honey Tea
Skip the brewski tonight and go for a cup of caffeine-free herbal tea. Seriously, trust us. Just try it. Tea is much more soothing and will calm your nerves, unlike coffee or alcohol, which gives you too many highs and lows, much like the Heat.

State College, Pa. (UPI) Jan 3, 2013
Snow coverage in the United States on New Year's Day was the most in 10 years with 67 percent of the 48 contiguous states covered by snow, meteorologists say.
That surpassed the previous record set in 2010, when the new year saw 61 percent of the United States beneath snow, AccuWeather.com reported Thursday.
That was the year of the mid-Atlantic blizzard dubbed "Snowmaggedon" that set a long list of records in cities such as Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore.
"As far as New Year's Days go, I think that our [2013] snow cover is very healthy," AccuWeather.com Expert Senior Meteorologist Jack Boston said.
Unusually low snow coverage percentages since record keeping began in 2004, with the exception of 2010, have been an anomaly, Boston said. "The temperature of the North Atlantic ocean has been in a warm cycle and that has resulted in eastern North America, on average, having milder temperatures during the last decade."
However, he said, most of the contiguous United States was above normal in snow coverage for the month of December 2012 as well.

Selected hydrologic relationships for Soldier Creek, northeastern Kansas

AbstractHydrologic data from Soldier Creek basin, northeastern Kansas, were compared with relations from statewide data. The quantity and quality of streamflow were affected mostly by soils, slopes, and land use. Average annual precipitation during the study (1964-76) was 35.12 inches, or 2.3 percent greater than the long-term (1929-76) average. The average streamflow in Soldier Creek at Topeka was 23 percent greater than the long-term average. In general, frequency curves of annual peak discharges compared poorly with curves from statewide relations due to the absence of extremely low peaks during the short period. A comparison of low-flow frequency for drainage areas of more than 100 square miles suggests that reasonable results may be obtained by extrapolating the statewide relations to small basins. Comparisons of flow-duration curves confirms the extrapolation for basins of less than 100 square miles, although the percentage duration of mean flow is variable. Water surveys showed that calcium, bicarbonate, and sulfate were the predominant ions and dissolved solids were derived mostly from limestones and shales. Suspended sediment at gaged sites ranged from 9.84 to 848 tons per days; yield per unit area increased significantly between two sites due to changes in slopes and land use. (USGS)

Comedy gala
Phil Nichol rehearses for the Comedy Festival gala, performed last
Photo: Wayne Taylor
COMEDIANS lived out their rock-star fantasies last night, playing to a packed stadium of screaming fans.
Booked city theatres pushed the annual Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala into Richmond's cavernous Vodafone Arena, where local and international stars performed to a crowd of more than 4000.
Before the gig, comedian Dave Thornton said performers were concerned about hitting the back rows.
"You look at the size and you haven't got a band to fill it," he said. "You've just got a mike and a few gags I mean, it's not exactly the Foo Fighters."
Thornton is probably the most local of the local comics, living just two blocks from the arena and not a world away, such as Ireland's Jason Byrne or US comic Arj Barker. But they share a challenge: compressing a one-hour gig into three minutes of material "I'm going to be saying hi instead of hello."
Corinne Grant, David O'Doherty, Fiona O'Loughlin and Frank Woodley joined TV funnyman Rove McManus and radio stars Dave Hughes and Wil Anderson on the same stage graced by rockers such as Motorhead, Motley Crue, the Dave Matthews Band and wet boy-band Westlife.
Last night, Mark Watson praised the elaborate stage.
"This is big.You feel like a rock star and the temptation is to act like one," he said, using the example of an Australian band he mocked as "Silvertable", who drew out a long series of encores at a recent concert. "So I'm not going to leave you with that hollow feeling," he said and left.

Xalapa, Mexico (AFP) June 30, 2011
Strong wind and heavy rain lashed much of eastern Mexico Thursday as Tropical Storm Arlene made landfall at near hurricane strength, whipping up Gulf waves large enough to force area ports to shut down.
Ports in Veracruz state were closed due to waves reaching six meters (20 feet) in height, the local Civil Protection office reported.
The US National Hurricane Center said at 1500 GMT that Arlene, the first named Atlantic storm of the season, barreled ashore at Cabo Rojo, a cape just off the mainland in Veracruz state, packing sustained winds of 100 kilometers (65 miles) per hour, with higher gusts.
With the storm pushing inland, "weakening is forecast during the next 24 to 36 hours, and Arlene is expected to dissipate over the mountains of central Mexico by Friday," said the Miami-based NHC, which monitors cyclone activity.
Arlene was forecast to dump between four and eight inches (10-20 centimeters) of rain over eastern Mexico, with isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches (38 centimeters) over mountainous terrain.
The NHC warned in a bulletin that the rain "could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides."
Mexico's navy and army opened 398 shelters Thursday and were monitoring area rivers for possible flooding, officials said.
In the central state of Puebla, the heavy rain triggered landslides that damaged homes and blocked highways, local officials reported.
Veracruz and Tamaulipas states went on high alert, and several ports were shuttered due to the stormy surf.
State-run oil firm Petroleos Mexicanos (Pemex) issued an alert for its facilities in the Gulf of Mexico, ensuring that safety measures were implemented for its platforms and that ships were secured.
Mexico was struck last year by what the government described as the wettest rainy season on record.
Tropical storms and hurricanes caused flooding and mudslides that killed 125 people, left hundreds of thousands homeless, and caused damages of more than $4 billion.

First named Atlantic storm eyes Mexican coast
Xalapa, Mexico (AFP) June 29, 2011
Mexico's Gulf coast was on high alert Wednesday as the first named storm of the Atlantic hurricane season took aim at a region still recovering from the worst floods on record last year. Tropical Storm Arlene was packing sustained winds of 60 miles (95 kilometers) per hour and heavy rains, and the Miami-based US National Hurricane Center forecast it would strengthen before making landfall ea ... read more

Media Notes
Published May 24, 2012
SOME THINGS BEST KEPT UNSAID: In Baltimore, Mike Preston writes he hopes ESPN "keeps the microphones out of team huddles" this weekend during the NCAA D-I men's lacrosse Final Four in Foxboro, Mass. Viewers last weekend "heard a lot of foul language from coaches and some players because those microphones were open." Preston writes, "There are times when emotions get the best of those involved in the game, but those moments inside a huddle don't need to be captured on TV, especially from 18-to-22 year-old men" (Baltimore SUN, 5/24).
GENO GETS A NEW NAME: In Hartford, John Altavilla noted SportsNet N.Y. Senior VP/Production & Exec Producer Curt Gowdy Jr. has plans to take Univ. of Connecticut women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma's show "in a different direction." There will be a "new show, tentatively to be called 'Geno's Legacy,' intended to feature the coach chatting with a player who has made a difference." Gowdy is in the process "of reviewing broadcast candidates." Gowdy said that there "will be a sideline reporter and that 'we will have more access to Geno during and before games.'" SNY President Steve Raab said that the net "will work with UConn to determine what starting times are best for the women" (COURANT.com, 5/23).
TRAIL BLAZER: SHERMANREPORT.com's Ed Sherman noted Pam Ward and Beth Mowins "were the only two women calling college football games for ESPN last year," and when the net "cuts the field of female play-by-play voices in half, that's news." The net announced earlier this week Ward will not call games this season. She was the "first woman play-by-play voice on college football, beginning her run" in '00. Sherman wrote, "ESPN gave her 11 years. It's not as if Ward was moved out simply because she is a woman" (SHERMANREPORT.com, 5/22).

The way that I want to do it is this:
I'll make a paragraph of text displaying the message. Upon enabling the Javascript, a separate script that adds a display:none declaration to the paragraph will run. Problem is, I can't do that with my limited abilities.
Help please.
Yeah...I'm rethinking my fascination with HTML5...it's probably (actually, it's definitely) not a good idea to use it for every website...
Oh hey! Grats on 1000 posts!
I wouldn't argue with that. Better to use something that already works, rather than something that only works with JavaScript now, but might work sometime in the future, provided the specs don't change too much in the meantime.
Thank you. I actually reached that number replying to another of your threads. Of course, it isn't quantity that matters but quality - and you can't judge that without reading them all. :lol:
General Discussion posts don't count towards that total number they have zero weight else my actual 'Posts:' count would be far higher, etc.
Like was said as a general rule you are better off using a normative markup language. Remember your teachers will be marking the work so need to understand it too. As Fred is experimental that would be hard to quantify regarding any useful semantics.
Typically the more elegant code; is that, which is already richly semantic exists and works, is in the form of HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0 and is "fit for purpose" thus wouldn't need JS - just to render - or would work as efficiently without it.

Yankee Panky: Grandy, Pettitte
Posted By Will Weiss On December 11, 2009 @ 8:25 am In Bronx Banter,Will Weiss,Yankee Panky | Comments Disabled
And so it was that at the Winter Meetings, Brian Cashman satisfied two of his major offseason priorities: settling the left field/center field question by acquiring Curtis Granderson in the three-team, seven-player swap with the Tigers and Diamondbacks. On the surface, it looks like the Tigers win this trade in a landslide, getting two young lefty relievers, a hard-throwing righty starter, and a major-league ready outfielder all while shedding $25.75 million in salary over the next three seasons.
The coverage was fairly bland, as it can tend to be when hammering out details of a trade. There were subtle nuances, though. For example, the Post, in my surfing, was the only outlet to cite that the Diamondbacks entered the fray a few weeks ago when Cashman balked at not including Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes in the deal for Granderson (maybe this gives a hint regarding their 2010 status?). ESPN claimed Buster Olney broke the story. How do we know? Jon Heyman tweeted the components of the deal yesterday, and Alex Belth dutifully posted them here [1].
A couple of items and intimations that appeared everywhere:
Beyond the obvious, there was little to no mention of the trickle-down effect the losses of Kennedy, Coke and Austin Jackson could mean for the future. Was Kennedy more expendable because he hasn't pitched a great deal in the last two years? In the Post [5], King hinted that Coke pitched himself out of a Yankee uniform when Damaso Marte demonstrated success in the postseason, and that Mike Dunn, who threw like Wild Thing Vaughn in his cup of coffee in September but posted excellent numbers in the Arizona Fall League, is seen as a potential second lefty reliever. As for Austin Jackson, is he the next in a line of top prospects who are traded and then thrive, like Fred McGriff, Bo Jackson, Doug Drabek and Jose Rijo? To that end, will fans be upset if IPK thrives behind Brandon Webb, Dan Haren and Edwin Jackson in the desert on the grounds he wasn't given a fair chance in New York? What about Coke and A-Jax? What happens if they help lead the Tigers to a title and Granderson is a scapegoat in a Yankees playoff loss?
Is this a Roberto Kelly-for-Paul O'Neill type win for the Yankees? What about Eric Milton and Cristian Guzman for Chuck Knoblauch? Or, more appropriately, if we're going to talk three-team trades, is this a bomb like the 2002 mess that sent Ted Lilly to the A's, Jeremy Bonderman to the Tigers and Jeff Weaver to the Yankees? All are possibilities.The thought here is thus: as numerous comments in BB threads have posited over the last couple of days, with Cabrera, Granderson and Swisher as the regular outfielders, Brett Gardner in reserve and perhaps Johnny Damon, the Yankees have their best and deepest outfield in some time. All five are southpaws, which is odd and cool; each possesses a combination of speed and power; and two of them are switch hitters. Joe Girardi can mix and match based on any situation.
The Pettitte story is a bit different, especially now that it's a done deal. It came together quickly, and there wasn't much of a story to tell except that both sides wanted to expedite matters. To me, the most interesting part of the deal itself is that the entire $11.75 million is guaranteed. There are no incentives this time around.
Getting Pettitte signed quickly buys Cashman time to evaluate the resources necessary to potentially land Roy Halladay in trade, or if John Lackey is a target, how much budget can be allocated to signing him to a long-term, high-eight-figure deal.
Now, more analysis is rolling in and additional projections are coming forth relating to the big fish available. What's certain is that the Yankees are in the mix with everyone, and on the other end of the spectrum, the Mets are trying like hell to turn the spin machine into a centrifuge and create some kind of positive messaging.
With the two transactions announced yesterday, one thing the Yankees did not do, and it hasn't been mentioned enough — if at all — is set the market level for the big names still floating. Cashman's coy aggressiveness has served him well in the past 14 months. It looks like he's on a good roll, and even though it appears the local columnists are trying to influence re-signing Damon, for the most part, they're riding the wave with him.

Charles Bronson (November 3, 1921 – August 30, 2003), born Charles Dennis Buchinsky was a Polish-American actor, best known for such films as Once Upon a Time in the West, The Magnificent Seven, The Dirty Dozen, The Great Escape, Rider on the Rain, The Mechanic, and the Death Wish series. He often cast in the role of a police officer or gunfighter, often in revenge-oriented plot lines.
When Lois gets separate beds after getting crushed by Peter in "Mr. and Mrs. Stewie", he complains that he needs to cuddle as all men do, even cold, unfeeling men like Charles Bronson. A cutaway shows Charles ordering his bed partner to scoot over to him.

A young Brooklyn artist named Marc Ganzglass was showing a recent piece called "Turenne Railing".
Turenne said, rising from the table at which he had been sitting writing when Hector entered, and shaking him warmly by the hand.
These are the acts which win the attachment of soldiers, and Turenne was idolized by his.
The great Turenne didnt fight ten battles at once and didnt carry on six intrigues on the same day.
The character of Turenne was more remarkable for solidity than for brilliancy.
"That would be even more dangerous than the other," Turenne said.
Cond was in arms against the government, but he was defeated by Turenne.
Turenne called out to them, to ask what they were doing there.
Condé and Turenne were after their campaign with the Imperialists at the height of their fame.
On the Rhine was fought the last campaign of Turenne and Montecucculi.

'Idol' Runner-Up Jessica Sanchez + Bette Midler Set to Join 'Glee'
How much celeb power can we get on one show? There really is no show with a track record of celebrities like 'Glee'. And just to remind us how awesome they are, they are recruiting even more big names to join the cast. So who is joining the cast? This round it's a former 'Idol' and a Grammy winning artist/comedian.
Sources have confirmed that 'Idol' runner-up Jessica Sanchez will join the cast with a recurring role at McKinley High. Jessica is the right age and a vocal powerhouse, I highly doubt that she will disappoint. She may have lost the 'American Idol' crown to Phillip Phillips, but winning a spot on 'Glee' could be just what she needs to send her career soaring.
Superstar Bette Midler has also been tapped to guest star on the show. The show's creator Ryan Murphy asked Midler while she was on stage at the God's Love We Deliver Golden Hearts Awards event in New York City. Bette responded with a huge "YES!". The two both took to their Twitter pages to express their excitement. While there are no details on the character and details, Midler expressed she would love to play Rachel's (played by Leah Michelle) energetic, entertaining, and incredibly talented grandmother.

This Week in Books 5/6/11
Thanks for tuning in for How I Write week! To recap:
Monday: How I Write
Tuesday: How I Edit
Wednesday: My Query Letter
Thursday: Why I Chose a Traditional Publisher
Next week is WONDERBAR publication week and I'll be kicking off on Monday with a giveaway of some kind! And don't forget, if you're in the Bay Area next Friday please join me for the WONDERBAR launch party at Books Inc., Opera Plaza at 7pm. Here's the invite, hope to see you there.
Fun fun!
Meanwhile, I caught a few links this week and here they be.
Lots of e-book news, and some of it came from CNET, where I am employed. First up, my colleague David Carnoy took a look at the new $114 ad-supported Kindle and found the ads unobtrusive and worth the savings. And although there doesn't appear to be a new e-ink innovation on the horizon, B&N is rumored to be set to debut a new Nook, which will most likely be an e-ink version update rather than a new Nook Color.
I've long said that the idea that there's no such thing as being "just an author," and the New York Times has a great roundup of some author-as-self-promoting-brands of yore, including Herodutus paying for his own book tour in 440 BC. Self-promotion is as old as writing.
GalleyCat recently linked to the 10 most popular professions for romance novel heroes. I'm shocked SHOCKED that Social Media Manager didn't make the list. I guess doctors and cowboys really do have all the fun. (Oh, and speaking of which, Amazon is now launching a romance imprint)
Agent Kristin Nelson has a great post on the art of the blurb request and how to go about that delicate task.
And Amanda Hocking has announced another deal with St. Martin's for her previously published Trylle Trilogy. This will be interesting to track as she acknowledges that the e-book prices will be going up from where they are now, but they'll probably still be lower than regular e-book prices.
This week in the Forums, I'm very pleased to announce that there's a new deputy sheriff in town, Sommer Leigh will be a Forum moderator alongside Bryan Russell, fighting spambots and keeping things running smoothly. Congrats and thank you to Sommer! Also in the Forums this week: soliciting women's fiction recommendations, topic #1,000 in the writing forum: do you panic as you reach the finish line?, do you warm up before writing, and, of course, a zombie-proof house!
And finally, via Tahereh Mafi's amazing Tumblr feed, yeah.... This is exactly what it feels like to read a good book.
Have a great weekend!

"I'm shocked SHOCKED that Social Media Manager didn't make the list."
Given the the research methods of Ogas are less-than-scientific (http://dearauthor.com/features/industry-news/monday-midday-links-4/), I really wouldn't be too shocked.
I imagine Social Media Manager is at least in the top five. :)

One small point on this week's blogs that have a bearing on every week's blogs.
Not all your readers are in the USA, and terms like middle-grade, while we can hazard a guess as to the age group concerned, can be hard work.
Social media experts are always extolling the wonders of reaching around the world, and the English language is a major factor making that happen.
But not everyone speaks American!

I enjoyed reading your "How I Write" series this week. It was very enlightening.
I personally enjoyed your post on why you chose to go with a traditional publisher.
I am looking forward to having my copy of Jacob Wonderbar in my hands next week. I wish you luck with it.
- May 6, 2011 at 1:53 PM
Hmmm. My hero: museum curator. Didn't make the list.
On another note, Karl Lagerfeld (director at Chanel and Fendi) is launching a new fragrance that smells like...books. I guess you can spray it on your Kindle for that warm and fuzzy feeling.

"How I Write" week was great!
Wow, the ads on the Kindle are not as intrusive as I would have expected; I was expecting them to be visible while reading as well. If I didn't already have one, I'd probably still spring for the $139 model, but this is good to know for some of my friends who are considering purchasing e-readers.
And yes, that cat's face says it all! (Although I wish my cat would look that happy when I'm brushing him...although he does get that face when he's sleepy and cuddly. And now I sound like a cat person, even though I do prefer dogs.)
And don't worry, I'm sure social media managers as romance heroes is the next big trend. And it will have more longevity than vampires, and possibly even space monkeys.

I noticed on that list of job types for those romantic guys, several ones are left out: the intellectual thinker, the writer, and the musician. (and did you ever notice that most of those occupations require a 'costume' of some type?) e.g., cowboy, doctor, king, knight. .) Say no more.
I think you could extend the occupation 'boss' to mean Bruce Springsteen. He'd do fine as a romance type. And there are appealing bosses, but that's a sticky wicket to deal with. I think I've said enough.
Sommer is a great pick to co-sheriff with Bryan, but are we getting rowdy in the forums that we need two? Or does Bryan want a holiday?
Nathan, thanks for this week of sharing your writing process. This Yoda fan thanks you very much, she does.
Have a great weekend!

OMG, Tahereh's picture is amazing. That's what I want my life to feel like. ALL THE TIME.
This was a wonderful week, Nathan. I loved, loved, loved learning more about you.
And not only that, but there's next week to look forward to! Yay! Not only on the blog, with a giveaway, but a certain book will be released that I have very much been looking forward to reading. Yay!
I so wish I could come to the party, but I actually have a meeting for school. On a FRIDAY NIGHT. Truth! Proof that school really does sort of suck, if people had any doubt. But I will definitely be there celebrating in spirit.
In terms of romance heros, I occasionally dip into romance reading, and I admit to never seeing Social Media Manager, which is truly a travesty. I have, however, quite often seen a hero who holds the enviable occupation of Writer. So there you go, Nathan.
And Sommer as Sheriff! That is just terrific!! Kudos, Nathan, on choosing someone who will bring wonderful leadership to the forum. And congratulations to Sommer! That is so awesome that you have taken that role on, Sommer. What a great team you have, Nathan.
Okay, back to work. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Bond ETFs have ridden a wave of massive cash inflows and robust returns in 2012. Now, fixed-income investors face a conundrum: hold on to their positions and settle for low yields amid possible "bubble" conditions, take on even greater risk in stocks or flee to cash and earn negative returns after inflation.
Fortunately, the world of bond ETFs offer investors enough choices — 223 funds with an aggregate value of $243 billion, to be exact — to give them plenty of ways to
The Best Purchase May Be the One You Don't Make
The challenge for bond ETFs in 2013 is straightforward: Yields are now so low that there's almost no latitude for the market to deliver total returns much beyond its yield. This is a view recently set forth by PIMCO chief Bill Gross and DoubleLine founder Jeffrey Gundlach, both of whom are looking for mid-single-digit returns for the bond market in 2013.
At the same time, the potential downside is significant if inflation ticks up or growth comes in above expectations, driving up yields and causing prices to collapse. While this scenario is seen as being unlikely to occur — especially with the Fed maintaining its low-rate stance and continuing to support the market through aggressive quantitative easing — investors need to protect against the potential risks.
With this as the backdrop, the key to success in 2013 may not necessarily be which ETFs to choose, but which to avoid: namely, bonds with the highest sensitivity to interest rate movements. A prime example is iShares Trust Barclays 20+ Year Treasury Bond Fund (NYSE:TLT). While it offers a 30-day SEC yield of just 2.72%, it has a duration of 17.1 years. This means if long-term Treasury yields were to climb just a half-percent in the year ahead, the fund would lose about 8.6% on a price basis.
The takeaway: There's little margin for error on the long end of the yield curve. And this isn't just applicable to TLT — the same can be said for other, popular long-term funds such as Vanguard Long-Term Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:VCLT) and Market Vectors AMT-Free Long Municipal Index ETF (NYSE:MLN). It also goes for big-name bond index funds with a heavy weighting in U.S. Treasuries, such as the Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (NYSE:BND).
So, is the answer to move into safer, short-term bonds? If safety is the top priority, yes. But if you're looking for returns, you certainly won't find them in funds like Vanguard Short-Term Bond ETF (NYSE:BSV), which yields just 0.51%. At this point, investing in short-duration funds is a surefire recipe for negative real returns.
The Right ETFs for 2013
The way to navigate the conundrum set forth above is to look for funds that can offer two features:
- Decent yield and the potential for some extra total return if rates stay even or continue to fall.
- A low correlation with U.S. Treasuries.
This approach leads to some smaller ETFs, but investors may find that digging deeper into lesser-known areas of the bond ETF universe will pay off in 2013. Three market segments represent potential sources of opportunity.
Short-Term High-Yield Bonds
A prime example of ETFs that offer both yield, potential upside and low sensitivity to the Treasury market are PIMCO 0-5 Year U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Index Fund (NYSE:HYS). The fund has a lower yield than the more popular iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (NYSE:HYG) – 3.85% vs. 5.4% – but in exchange investors can get a portfolio with lower volatility than the typical high yield fund, as well as lower rate sensitivity than broad-based index funds. Investors who are interested in this category can also consider SPDR Barclays Short Term High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE:SJNK).
While these funds will get hit if the broader high yield sector takes a dive, the damage will be less than it would be with HYG or SPDR Barclays High Yield Bond ETF (NYSE:JNK). There's no rush to get into either HYS or SJNK, however: High-yield has been performing well in the past month, so investors may be able to get a better entry price by exercising some patience.
Guggenheim's Target Maturity High Yield Bond Funds
Guggenheim offers a series of seven high-yield funds with the name BulletShares, which mature each year from 2012 through 2018 and carry tickers ranging from BSJC to BSJI. (The 2012 fund, BSJC, is set to close at year-end).
Each fund invests in bonds scheduled to mature in the specific year denoted by the name of the fund, and at the end of each year, the fund will close and return principal to shareholders. While there's no guarantee an investor will receive all of principal back, the only way to lose a substantial amount of principal is if one of the issuers defaults — and since the funds are invested in higher-quality securities, that's relatively unlikely.
An example: the Guggenheim BulletShares 2012 High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (NYSE:BSJC) opened at $25.26 in January 2011, and closed at $25.37 on Dec. 19 — a little more than two weeks prior to its maturity date. Naturally, the longer-dated the fund, the more volatile it will be in the near term. But with these funds, investors at least have the option of holding to maturity in order to offset their short-term losses, which isn't the case with standard bond ETFs.
The key benefit of these funds in 2013: Investors can customize their yield and risk exposure, and they can gain the peace of mind that they can wait out losses if high-yield bonds turn south in the year ahead.
International and Emerging Market High Yield Funds
Fund such as Market Vectors International High Yield Bond Fund (NYSE:IHY) (30-day SEC yield: 5.58%) and Market Vectors Emerging Markets High-Yield ETF (NYSE:HYEM) (6.27%) are almost stock-like in terms of their expected volatility, so don't think of these as "safe" bets for 2013. In addition, these foreign high-yield funds certainly have their own set of risks, including the global credit cycle and shifts in investor appetites.
However, they're unique in the sense that they have almost no relationship with the U.S. interest rate cycle — as evidenced by their low correlations with TLT since they opened earlier this year. Further, they provide a way to pick up yield without diving into funds such as JNK and HYG, which are up 13.9% and 12.6%, respectively, in the past year.
The Bottom Line
All three segments suggested here are more volatile than the average bond ETF. However, they are among the few ways to manage interest rate exposure and still earn inflation-beating yields. At a time of extreme uncertainty for the bond market, investors may find that unconventional thinking will deliver the best results.

Champion trainer Peter Moody is adamant he shouldn't have been charged with administration of cobalt, but has made it known he will accept a fine for race-day presentation.
Moody's stayer Lidari returned a positive swab to the outlawed substance last year. But he is steadfast in his belief Racing Victoria does not have a strong enough case to prosecute him for the far more serious charge of administration, as opposed to presentation.
Lidari returned a reading of 410, more than twice the generous threshold of 200. A normal horse has a reading less than 10.
The rules of administration and presentation are inextricably linked because the science of cobalt means you cannot exceed the threshold without administering cobalt.
At last week's directions hearing, racing and appeals board judge Russell Lewis indicated to Moody and his legal team that no trainer in Victoria had been disqualified from racing for a presentation drug charge.
This caused Moody and his team to consider their position, and if they choose not to challenge the science on cobalt, Moody's may be the first cobalt charge to be heard by the RAD board.
Moody and his legal team have indicated they will notify the RAD board of their decision by September 25.
If they elect not to challenge cobalt science, Moody's charge will be set down for a single day hearing on October 5.
A "no fault" defence may not be enough to convince the RAD board that the drug had not been administered.
The rule around cobalt was introduced following worldwide intelligence that cobalt was being abused in race horses, most notably in the US.
Subsequently, it was identified in harness racing in NSW where 10 trainers have been disqualified for periods ranging from 30 months to 10 years.
In NSW, racing trainer Darren Smith has been disqualified for 15 years and the industry is awaiting verdicts on Sam Kavanagh, vet Tom Brennan and four others.
The show-cause cobalt case against turf club official Matt Rudolph is also set to resume shortly.
In Victoria, five leading trainers - Moody, Danny O'Brien, Mark Kavanagh, Lee and Shannon Hope, as well as Brennan - are all facing cobalt charges.

Forum:A n00b requesting help
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Hi, I'm new here. I've been editing a few things, and need a little help.
First off, I completely rewrote the science article. Much is to be done there. For starters, it needs pictures. Secondly, a math formula spelling out "Dolemite why you be hatin'" would be much appreciated.
Secondly, I also completely rewrote the me article. It was in category:rewrite, so I figured it was definitely fair game. I need help making not everything aligned center, and with making text blink and scroll. Content needs to be added too. Basically it should be as faux-annoying as possible.
Finally, I created the climax article, and help with content/additions of content would be appreciated there too. It would also be nice if better pictures were put in place of the ones there-- they were the best I could find. --Sultanofsurreal 05:08, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

First-Of-Its-Kind Self-Assembled Nanoparticle for Targeted and Triggered Thermo-Chemotherapy
Research from investigators at the MIT-Harvard Center of Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence has succeeded in designing and demonstrating the effectiveness of first-of-its-kind, self assembled, multi-functional, near-infrared (NIR) responsive gold nanorods that can deliver a chemotherapy drug specifically targeted to cancer cells and selectively release the drug in response to an external beam of light while creating heat for synergistic thermo-chemo mediated anti-tumor efficacy. NIR is minimally absorbed by skin and tissue, has the ability to penetrate deep tissue in a noninvasive way, and can be converted to heat by gold nanomaterials for effective thermal ablation of diseased tissue. The results of this study were published by Omid Farokhzad and his colleagues in the journal Angewandte Chemie International Edition.
"The design of this gold nanorod and its self-assembly was inspired by nature and the ability of complimentary strands of DNA to hybridize on their own without imposing complicated chemical processes on them," explained Dr. Farokhzad, director of the Laboratory of Nanomedicine and Biomaterials at Brigham and Women's Hospital. "Each functionalized DNA strand individually, and the self assembled components as a system, play a distinct yet integrative role resulting in synergistic targeted and triggered thermo-chemotherapy capable of eradicating tumors in our pre-clinical models."
One DNA strand is attached to the gold nanorod and the complementary strand is attached to a stealth layer and a homing molecule that keeps the system under the radar of the immune system while targeting it directly to cancer cells. When the DNA strands come together, the targeted gold nanorod is formed and the double stranded DNA serves as the scaffold for binding the chemotherapy drug, doxorubicin, which can be released in response to NIR light that concurrently results in generation of heat by the gold nanorods. Each of the three distinct functional components plays a role in contributing to the triple punch of triggered thermotherapy, controlled doxorubicin release, and cancer cell targeting.
To demonstrate the robust capability of this nanorod system, Dr. Farokhzad and his collaborators used a pre-clinical model to evaluate the in vivo anti-tumor efficacy in two different tumor models and four different groups with different drug regiments, each group varying in weight and tumor size. Researchers administrated an injection of the novel, self-assembled nanoparticle and then 10 minutes post-injection, the tumors were irradiated using NIR light that activated the nanoparticle using the gold nanorod and created heat. The results showed that this platform successfully delivered heat and anti-cancer drugs to synergistically eradicate tumors.
"Thermal ablation is already commonly used in cancer treatment," said Dr. Farokhzad. "What is extremely exciting about this platform is that we are able to selectively target cancer cells and then hit the tumor twice: first with a controlled release of a chemotherapy drug and then secondly with triggered induction of heat from the activation of the gold nanorod. And all this can be done noninvasively."
This work, which is detailed in a paper titled, "DNA self-assembly of targeted near-infrared-responsive gold nanoparticles for cancer thermo-chemotherapy," was supported in part by the NCI Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, a comprehensive initiative designed to accelerate the application of nanotechnology to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. An abstract of this paper is available at the journal's website.

I am looking for a new wireless PCIe 1x card that is capable of injection and with aircrack-ng. All of the ones I have found links to on aircracks' site seem to be older cards and hard(er) to find.
If anyone has experience with any newer cards, I'd appreciate the input. I've been looking at the TP-Link TL-WDN4800 in particular but have not heard about the compatibilty of the Atheros AR9380 chipset. I hear that Atheros tends to do well and would like to test it out, but am unsure of this particular one.
I am also looking for a new gpu that will be used for bruteforcing. I have been using an ATI XFX Radeon HD5850 which has worked well. I'm looking to spend about $500 and am wondering whether there is much difference between the capabilities of ATI vs AMD.

In areas where there are water shortages, it's often the girls who have to travel for miles each day to collect supplies, while the boys might go to school.
Girls as young as 10 sometimes have to collect the water for their whole family.
They often carry heavy pots of water, which can damage their necks and back.
This can lead to them having problems later in life.
Girls who go out every morning to get water often can't go to school.

RepairPal is your advocate for car care advice and guidance
Q: Plug replacment, all 16 of them. on 2007 Dodge Ram 1500
Need a detailed answer on how someone can do this with mid to good mechanical know-how. I've replaced plugs before in just about everything from a Bentley to a Roswell UFO. To be clear...it's a flying saucer and runs on Rattlesnake pee. Anyway, I know I've got 16 plugs to replace and that some are difficult to get to. Especially the ones under the master cylinder I hear? Does anyone have any experience with this? What tools came in handy? Please be as specific as you can, and if ya must use a crayon, please don't worry about me being upset that you might be making fun of me…just remember, I have a flying saucer! LOL Thanks for any advice you fine folks can provide and have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year (political correctness be damned).
You may not know this but put the OE recommend plugs in the truck is regular copper core plugs. The ignition system is designed to use regular copper plugs, not Double Platinum or Iridium. This means the plugs should be replaced every 30,000 miles. That is OE recommendation. NOT 100,000 MILES.
The repair is not difficult, just take your time and do one plug at a time. Good Luck
The repair is not difficult, just take your time and do one plug at a time. Good Luck
Yeah, knew that. Already have 16 Champion(copper)spark plugs. Heard all kinds of stories about people getting hipo plugs and the motor runs like a old people having sex...slow and sloppy. Just getting to the back plugs is going to be an issue. Thanks for the reminder though...good to know some folks pay attention to the details, know what I mean? You a Ram/HEMI owner?
I think I'm qualified. I've only been in the auto repair industry for about 46 YEARS! If you don't think you can't replace 16 plugs in a V-8 then take it to someone who can.
Wow! If you can do it on a Roswell...surely all SIXTEEN spark plugs on a Dodge Truck would be easy! All my skills, tools, and experience...even I cannot replace more than eight plugs. (unless I do it twice)
Good one, your.mechanic. I'd have to do it twice also.
The new HEMI's have 2 plugs per cylinder. Roswell is a town in New Mexico. Now if you guys are done making fun of me...very funny stuff btw. Like Parts Guy said, will have to take my time. Cant afford the $200 plus right now to have someone else do it, going to be fun. Thanks for your advice gentlemen. Have a good one.
Have you ever really wondered why two plugs per cylinder?
Double the fun? I was thinking perhaps efficiency, w/o researching why. If ya know...clue me in.
Didn't find what you were looking for?
