I have made my case on these boards before as being a tunnel thrower and what ever. I picked up an Ion and a new Axis the other day and hit the field with them and my teebirds and leopards. I have been working on my throw recently, and I can tell I'm getting more snap a lot of the time, but I'm not getting any more distance. I'm getting frustrated. I'll list some approx distances based on the yard lines on the football field I was throwing on. These were probably a LITTLE longer because I was going by yard lines but the disc were not straight down the field, being off to the left or right depending on how it threw and I was dealing with decent headwind/tailwind depending on which way I was going on the field.
Ion: 190-200
Axis: 230-240
Teebird: 240-280
Now to my problem that I can see. When I throw a disc, I can see it go as far as it can go on just the momentum I give it, and then it dies. It goes into the fade portion of the flight and drops fading back to the left. It doesn't push forward at all. Its like the disc doesn't take over in its portion of the flight. The only time this does not come into play is on an anny with an understable disc, and those tend to carry farther for me. The Axis for example, was in the 230-240 range for me most of the time, except when I threw it on a good anny line about 10 ft or so off the ground and it carried out to around 275-280. Is it my discs still having too much fade to fly for me at my power level? Is it my technique? I have a sneaky suspicion that it is spin, which is part of why I wanted to try the MVP discs. I KNOW they want spin so I wanted to see how they flew and use them to judge when I get more spin on them. Does it sound like spin to you guys? How do you get more spin? ANY help appreciated...

Benner, Martha, and Cullom Davis (ed.), The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition, Chicago: University of Illinois Press, 2000.
The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition is the culmination of fifteen years of archival combing, scrupulous research, and clear organization. This collection of 100,000 documents related to the Lincoln 's practice of law in Illinois between 1836 and his election to the presidency in 1861. The multifaceted collection is organized and cross-referenced in a number of ways: chronologically, by subject, name of litigants, and types of documents. The collection is further amplified by case summaries, interpretative essays, and clear finding aids prepared by leading legal scholars. The editors provide a virtual archive on two DVD-ROM drive disks for scholars delving into the overlooked years when Abraham Lincoln practiced law and became involved in some well known 19th century legal contests, including the Chicken Bone and Almanac trials.
This collection of legal papers, court decisions, and non-litigation matters provides a glimpse of the intellectual formation of Abraham Lincoln and helps explain how Lincoln responded the constant crisis he faced as president of the United States. As an American historian I frequently highlight the echo of Lincoln's legal training in two major events of his presidency. The Emancipation Proclamation which outlawed slavery in territory under Confederate control while perpetuating the peculiar institution in the border territories and his approach to re-admitting states to the Union by arguing that the Confederate states were in rebellion since the Constitution did not provide for departure from the Union. In both of these cases Lincoln applied a narrow, legalistic, and pedantic view which is better analyzed in light of Lincoln's training and work in the legal profession for almost thirty years. This collection of documents will assist Civil War and 19th century historians who wish to probe the intellectual milieu of Abraham Lincoln, to evaluate Lincoln's response to the secession crisis and disunion, and to consider events on the Illinois frontier in the mid-19th century. The editors are to be commended for collecting, organizing, and formatting a large collection of primary sources that are very accessible to interested scholars.
Read More: Journal of the Association for History and Computing 5, no. 2 (September 2002)
"The collection fascinates not just because of the documents it makes available for researchers, but because of the way it presents them. Searchable images of 96,000 pages of nineteenth-century Illinois legal documentation represents a new kind of archive.
"The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln should be of interest to anyone researching the antebellum era. The editors have made documents usually locked away in courthouse vaults accessible, not just physically accessible, but understandable. The promise of the computer age is that historical resources will be more widely available, not just to senior scholars with big grants, or dissertation writers with little grants, but to all manner of students. These records should be used by high school and college students, professors at teaching colleges as well as the faculty at the leading research institutions."
"A Superior Opportunity of Being a Good Man"
The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition. Edited by Martha L. Benner and Cullom Davis. Champaign: University of Illinois Press, 2000. 3 DVDs and user's manual. $2,000. ISBN 0-252-02566-0.
Great president. Lousy lawyer." In four words, a movie character played by the late actor Walter Matthau thus summed up the career of Abraham Lincoln. For most of the 136 years since Lincoln's death, general readers and scholars alike have accepted this verdict. Occasional Southern partisans have tried to belittle Lincoln's greatness as a president, but no substantial challenges to his overall reputation appeared between Edgar Lee Master's vitriolic Lincoln: The Man in 1931 and Lerone Bennett's Forced Into Glory: Abraham Lincoln's White Dream in 2000. During that span, hundreds of other authors portrayed Lincoln in every possible light: dynamic leader or passive responder to events, cool religious skeptic or secret Christian believer, Burkean conservative or proto-twentieth-century statist liberal, ideologue or pragmatist; but always an admirable and successful model of a particular way of thinking, which (by remarkable coincidence) generally tended to be that of the author as well.
Even rarer than a serious attack on Lincoln as a president has been a serious evaluation of Lincoln as a lawyer. Abraham Lincoln received his law license in 1836 and began practicing as the junior partner of John Todd Stuart (cousin of his future wife Mary Todd) in 1837. He ran the firm for two years while Todd served in Congress and in 1841 left to become a partner of Stephen T. Logan. Three years later he established his own practice, with William H. Herndon as his junior partner, and (with the exception of a single term in Congress) spent the next seventeen years living in Springfield, devoting most of his energies to the law. Numerous books have described Lincoln's pre-presidential years, but John J. Duff's A. Lincoln: Prairie Lawyer (1960) and John P. Frank's Lincoln as a Lawyer (1961) remain the only two full-length studies of Lincoln's legal career (although others are currently being written).

Forty people spent fourteen years compiling this collection of over 200,000 documentary images and 1.5 million discrete facts. The collection comprises 96,386 documents describing 5,173 cases and 496 nonlitigation activities. More than cases and pleadings are included. Newspaper reports on cases help provide context. Essays on Abraham Lincoln, the court structure, and the legal practice of his age provide further background. A subject index guides readers to case summaries, an overview of the law practice of Lincoln, a statistical portrait of the cases, biographies of major players, and bibliographies on Lincoln and on nineteenth-century law. There are maps setting forth state and federal judicial districts as well as major transportation arteries. There are lists of state and federal circuit judges and their terms, a monetary conversion table to allow modern comparisons with Lincoln's economic environment, a file on land measurements of the time, and introductions to the forms of pleading. There is even a perpetual calendar for those who wish to know that Lincoln's birthday was on a Friday in 1828! The editors seem to have thought of everything that might help the user of this collection. Furthermore, being in DVD format, the materials are almost instantly available as research proceeds. Even this novice found his way through the user-friendly files.
These documents bring Lincoln out of his monument and into the mundane world, a world of law that absorbed most of his adult life. Lincoln spent more time being a lawyer than he spent doing anything else he ever did. If there is an entrée to revealing or discovering the real Lincoln, this is an indispensable place to look. Some historians have argued that those years and days of law practice made the sixteenth president essentially a conservative. Here is a place to find out.

The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln: Complete Documentary Edition
Edited by Martha L. Benner and Cullom Davis. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 2000. 3 DVDs. $2,000.
The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln is extraordinary in every sense of that much overused word. It is difficult to find any other word that accurately captures the contours of this publication. Tens of thousands of books have appeared on all aspects of the life of Abraham Lincoln, and tens of thousands more will appear in years to come. I am certain, however, that no publication—past, present, or future—will rival this one in terms of its breadth and depth of detail.
The Law Practice of Abraham Lincoln brings together nearly 100,000 documents from more than 120 repositories and private collections. These documents are the extant record of the thousands of court cases and legal matters that made up Lincoln's law practice from 1836, when he was admitted to the Illinois bar, until his departure for Washington in 1861. All of the documents are available in an easily searchable text format, and the editors also provide more than 250,000 images of actual court documents related to Lincoln's legal work.

Dove Award nominee writes powerfully about seeing her Tony Award-nominated BU roommate reach her dreams
About a decade ago, Jenny Chisholm Simmons (pictured on left), BA '03, and Elizabeth A. Davis (on right), BFA '03, were roommates at Baylor. Davis was even a bridesmaid in Simmons' wedding.
Today, the pair share something else: success. Simmons is the lead singer of a Dove Award-nominated band, Addison Road, while Davis is a Tony Award-nominee for best actress in a musical thanks to her role in Broadway's Once.
About a month ago — even before news of Davis' nomination came out — Simmons wrote a moving post on her blog about her joy at seeing her Baylor friend's dreams coming true. You really need to read the whole piece; it makes some very poignant points about how one relates to another person chasing his/her dreams. Consider this a teaser:
"But mom, all I want to do is a catch a bird."
I wonder sometimes what I will tell the Emergency Room staff when I check her in with duck-bite-wounds. I imagine them saying something like, "Well, how did she get close enough to a duck to get bitten? Why in the world was she holding a bird in her hands? Where were the adults?"
And I will have to say, "I was there. I was there praying to God that He would please, for the love of all that's holy, just let the kid catch a bird. It's all she wants to do in this life." And the nurse will shake her head in displeasure.
"Why are you smile-crying Mom?"
Go read the whole thing here, and then check out Davis and others from the musical's cast performing on Late Night with David Letterman.
Sic 'em, Jenny and Elizabeth, Once, and Baylor friends everywhere!

The logic, as I understand it, is to give a carrot to down-and-out teams while also promoting divisional rivalries and intra-division competition. Win your division and you will get a home playoff game, period. It has been a simple message.
Does it become unfair when a second-place 12-4 team must travel to play an first-place 8-8 team? Yes, that seems unfair. But is also makes winning your division a more important criteria than amassing a great record, and that 12-4 team failed to win its division.
Personally I would change the rule and have the team with the best record be the higher seed, but I think the owners are strongly opposed to a change.

Robin Williams was asked if he enjoyed talking about certain things in his life."You mean before rehab?" he replied quickly, half-joking.The 61-year-old comedian and star of stage and screen will regale a Kingsbury Hall audience Jan. 16 in an unusual show that is billed as more of a warts-and-all conversation than a performance.But even a plain conversation with the manic Williams is an adventure."There are moments of stand-up amid the sit-down," said the Academy Award-winning star of TV shows such as "Mork & Mindy" and films "Mrs. Doubtfire," "Good Will Hunting,""Insomnia," "The Birdcage," Good Morning, Vietnam," and "Aladdin."Joining Williams onstage will be William's long-time friend David Steinberg, a Canadian comic, actor and writer who appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" more than 130 times second only to Bob Hope and frequent director of "Seinfeld," "Friends," "Mad About You," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm." He is also infamous for being credited for being the last straw why "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour"was canceled after he performed a sermon about Moses and the Burning Bush. (He said, "The Old Testament scholars say that Jonah was swallowed by a whale. The Gentiles, the New Testament scholars say, 'Hold it, Jews, no.' They literally grabbed the Jews by the Old Testament.")The idea for this national tour came when Williams wanted to develop material for another stand-up special, following his successful 2009 tour "Weapons of Self Destruction." "Between the time you're getting ready for the next stand-up [special], [this] keeps your comedy chops sharp," he said.So he and Steinberg, who hosts the interview program "Inside Comedy" on Showtime network, will use their improvisational skills to talk back-and-forth about whatever strikes their fancy on that particular night, whether it is behind-the-scenes tales from film and TV, their personal lives, the world of stand-up, and, possibly, even uncomfortable periods in each other's lives, like rehab."It changes every night," Williams said. "The conversation is different every night."While older fans might be more familiar with Steinberg than younger fans, Williams said Steinberg will receive as much attention and time to talk as Williams. "I'm just as curious about David as he is about me," Williams said. "He has so many amazing stories ... When [the audience] starts hearing him, he's kick-ass funny."Williams said he would be kinder about Utah than he was in his 2002 stand-up special "Robin Williams LIVE on Broadway," in which he riffed on Utah being the host of the Winter Olympics. One of his funnier lines was, "What, was Amish country booked?"

The Grammys: Ten things to watch for on Sunday night
10January 22, 2014 11:41 PM
What a scene it will be if all the nominees actually show up for the 56th annual Grammy Awards. We're not just talking about the usual suspects like Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Jay Z and Justin Timberlake. We're talking about serious hard-core longtime Hall of Famers: the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Black Sabbath and two Beatles! We know at least that Paul and Ringo will be there because they are scheduled to make a rare TV appearance together. The half-Beatles reunion is one of the 10 things to watch out for on Grammy night.
1. Will there be a Led balloon?
You could argue all day about which is the best Led Zeppelin album, but for the sake of argument, let's say it's the fourth one, commonly known as "IV" or "ZoSo."
On side one alone are "Black Dog," "Rock and Roll" and "Stairway to Heaven," three monsters of the classic-rock format, now 40 years later. Not only was "IV" critically acclaimed at the time, it's the third best-selling album in U.S. history (23 million). It came out in November 1971, which would have made it eligible for album of the year in 1973.
The winner that year was "The Concert for Bangladesh," a respectable choice despite being a live album. The other nominees were Don McLean's "American Pie," the "Jesus Christ Superstar" Broadway recording (a year after the London recording was nominated), Nilsson's legit classic "Nilsson Schmilsson" and Neil Diamond's "Moods," of which we can say only: Have you heard the song "Porcupine Pie"?
No Zeppelin. No surprise, because there was no "Exile on Main Street," "Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust," "Harvest" or "Machine Head" either. Say what you want about the Grammys, but they've never been known for their good taste.
In the song of the year, "Stairway to Heaven" could have been a good replacement for, oh, Neil Diamond's "Song Sung Blue."
Led Zeppelin didn't win a Grammy for "IV" or "Stairway to Heaven" or any other album or song for that matter. The only time these metal gods were even nominated was for best new artist in 1970 when they fell to Crosby, Stills & Nash (they could do worse). In 2005, Zep was awarded one of those thanks-anyway Lifetime Achievement Awards.
This year, Led Zeppelin could win its first actual Grammy. The band is nominated for best rock album for the live "Celebration" and Best Rock Performance for the live "Kashmir." With their luck, it will go to Imagine Dragons.
2: Will Grammy make good on "The Snub?
When the nominations were announced in December, Sara Bareilles tweeted: "I never in a billion million years thought I'd be nominated for Album of the Year."
You know who else must have been surprised?
Justin Timberlake.
If ever the table seemed to be set for him to run off with some top awards, it was this year, for "The 20/20 Experience," a classy comeback that was 2013's top-selling album. Kind of a shocker then that the six-time Grammy winner is shut out in all the top categories.
Maybe the nomination committee agreed that JT's songs ran a little too long on "20/20" when the nods went to Ms. Bareilles, Daft Punk, Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and Taylor Swift. Voters have a chance to send a small message by handing Justin the pop vocal album Grammy (over Bruno Mars and Lorde).
Top of the list of people not surprised by an album of the year snub: Kanye West, who's familiar with that situation. His "Yeezus" won the national critics' poll in the Village Voice, but the best it can do on Sunday night is best rap album.
3. Will the most nominated win the most?
When the nominations were announced in December, the headlines read that Jay Z leads the pack with nine nominations. Here's the fine print: None are in the top categories. Because he's against himself in two categories, he has a chance only at seven. And one is for recording package, so it's not really him, and two are for music videos.
There's a good chance he'll win only two.
Forget rap album. "Magna Carta ... Holy Grail" is no match for Kanye or Kendrick Lamar, or even Drake or Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, for that matter. "Tom Ford" might be the weakest song in the rap performance field.
His best shot is with a song on the Timberlake album, "Suit & Tie," for pop duo/group performance, followed by his two rap/sung collaborations with Timberlake and Beyonce.
4. What will The Beatles do?
If you've seen the Grammys lately, you've noticed that it's practically one big live concert with a few breaks to hand out awards.
It only makes sense that if you have the most popular musicians in the world on hand, you might as well make them sing. The Oscars, by contrast, are kind of boring, because the actors can't exactly ACT while they're there. In fact, they're usually barely competent in delivering their speeches.
This year promises performances by:
■ Taylor Swift, Lorde, Katy Perry, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Kacey Musgraves, John Legend and Keith Urban, plus pairings of Jay Z and Beyonce; Daft Punk with Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams and Stevie Wonder; Kendrick Lamar with Imagine Dragons; Metallica and Lang Lang; P!nk and Nate Ruess; Robin Thicke with Chicago; Sara Bareilles with Carole King; Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and Blake Shelton; and Queens of the Stone with Nine Inch Nails, Dave Grohl and Lindsey Buckingham.
The most anticipated may be the half-Beatle reunion of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who turn up together every now and then at some benefit but never on a stage this big. Just a guess that they'll be at the mic together and that Ringo's star turn on "With a Little Help From My Friends" will factor in.
5. Mick or Paul?
A long, long time ago -- like back before the dinosaurs -- there was this rivalry between the Beatles and Rolling Stones.
Everywhere but the Grammy stage.
The Beatles won nine Grammys, five during their life as a band, including best new artist (1965) and album of the year for "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band."
The Stones not only weren't nominated for best new artist in 1965 -- Petula Clark, Astrud Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Morgana King faced off against the Beatles -- they weren't even nominated until 1982.
That would have been about 17 albums late.
The first Stones Grammy was a Lifetime Achievement Award in 1987 before actually winning a real one in 1995 for best rock album ("Voodoo Lounge").
The closest we ever got to a Beatles-Stones Grammy showdown was the Stones vs. the Traveling Wilburys (which included George Harrison) in the best rock performance by a duo or group in 1990. George won.
This year the Stones and a Beatle square off for best rock song -- the Stones for the excellent "Doom and Gloom" and Paul for "Cut Me Some Slack," in which he plays the Kurt Cobain screamer role with Nirvana members Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear.
Black Sabbath is also in this category, which must be very weird for other nominees Gary Clark Jr. and Muse.
6. Will Lorde be almighty?
It's hard to complain that Lorde was snubbed when the 17-year-old breakout star from New Zealand is up for song of the year, record of the year and pop vocal album.
But ... how do you get those and not best new artist? It just seems like bad math.
Lorde pretty much defines new. If she wins -- and her song "Royals" is good enough -- she will be the third youngest Grammy winner, behind LeAnn Rimes and Luis Miguel, both 14 when they won.
7. What about the 'burgh?
This is the third straight year that Wiz Khalifa has pulled down a Grammy nomination -- not bad for the kid from Allderdice who gets move love from fans than critics.
The problem is, some combination of Kanye and/or Jay Z is always in the way.
This year, he can hit the red carpet again, but "Remember You," his rap/sung nomination with The Weeknd has exactly zero chance against Jay Z with Beyonce ("Part II: On the Run") or Jay Z with Justin Timberlake ("Holy Grail").
The other Pittsburgh nominee, Billy Porter, has a one-in-three shot for best musical theater album. His work in "Kinky Boots" is up against "Matilda: The Musical," which it beat at the Tonys for best musical. The other contender, "Motown the Musical," could be trouble. It didn't get a Tony nomination for best musical, but you can guess what might happen when Grammy voters see the word "Motown" on the ballot.
8. Will Reggae king the Lion?
One of Wiz's previous nominations was for "Young, Wild & Free" with his buddy Snoop Dogg, who has been referred to as the Susan Lucci of the Grammys (12 nominations, no wins).
This year Snoop is going where he's never gone before -- into the reggae category with his career reboot as Snoop Lion. His "Reincarnated" is up against a Marley (Ziggy), the clan that owns this category (except for Bob himself, who only ever won a Lifetime award, as the reggae category wasn't introduced until 1985, four years after his death).
Snoop also faces the legendary production team/rhythm section of Sly & Robbie, so this is no given.
9. Can Tony do it?
Wanna talk career longevity? Tony Bennett raises the bar.
The crooner has won 16 Grammys, along with a Lifetime Achievement Award. His first was for "I Left My Heart in San Francisco" at the fifth annual Grammy Awards in 1963. The most recent was in 2012 for "Duets II."
That's 49 years.
If he can beat Michael Buble, Dionne Warwick and the rest for best traditional pop vocal album for "Viva Duets," he will exceed the half-century mark in his Grammy span -- 51 years.
10. Will they need the bleeper?
If Led Zeppelin didn't win a Grammy in the '70s, there was no chance for the darker and less loved Black Sabbath.
This is a good place to bring up the fact that the first 11 albums each received H in "The New Rolling Stone Record Guide" (1983), which called them stupid and boring.
With the addition of the best metal performance category in 1990, Black Sabbath got on the board with a 2000 Grammy for a live version of "Iron Man."
This is the first chance for Sabbath to win a Grammy for a new album, "God Is Dead?," (up against Anthrax, Dream Theater and more for Metal) and we can only hope it happens, just to see the censors go nuts when Ozzy hits the podium.

text: Failing to qualify for a bowl game this year hurts the Utes in a couple of ways. Going to a bowl gives teams added weeks of practice, which coach Kyle Whittingham has said essentially equates to having an extra spring session. With a young quarterback and young defense, losing that opportunity won't do the Utes any favors going into the 2013 season. Going to a bowl game can also hurt recruiting because it's one more chance to show off the program, get some national attention and brag about bowl streaks. Whittingham, who has called this his most frustrating season to date, will feel the pain of failing to qualify for a bowl game personally. According to his contract, he receives pay equal to two months of his base salary of $440,000 if the Utes go bowling. Ouch. - Lya Wodraska

One of the finest traditions of the Jewish religion is the weekly custom of Shabbat dinner.
The beauty of Shabbat rests in its consistency to bring families and friends together, apart from the stress, pressure and unpredictability of everyday life. Above all, Shabbat dinners exist as a reminder to separate trivial matters from what is truly important.
I grew up devoted to Shabbat dinners. Every week, I eagerly anticipated the comfort of being among my immediate family in either Toronto or Montreal. The location of the weekly gathering was insignificant, as long as familiar faces were discernible.
My concept of Shabbat has evolved and changed over the past few years. Three years ago, my maternal grandfather passed away.
Shabbat for me then changed dramatically. His seat at the head of the table is now vacant, and his soothing voice chanting the weekly prayers is absent. However, the invaluable lessons and knowledge he bestowed upon my family is what I miss the most.
Until you endure the profound loss of a grandparent, it is difficult to truly recognize and appreciate his or her remarkable wisdom.
When I was feeling a heavy void from the loss of my grandfather, the Shabbaton program at my high school, the Anne and Max Tanenbaum Community Hebrew Academy of Toronto, successfully revived my spirits.
I was given the opportunity to experience Shabbat with my closest friends in an organic and spiritual atmosphere. I began to cherish the opportunity of spending Shabbat with non-family members, who eagerly introduced me to new and fascinating Shabbat rituals.
Thus, the meaning of Shabbat deepened for me yet again, and I began to embrace the practice of spending Shabbat with other like-minded young adults, irrespective of our various backgrounds.
Graduating from the comfort of my high school to the University of Western Ontario (UWO) in London, Ont., was challenging.
In addition to being distanced from my family and our Shabbat traditions, I, too, left behind the familiarity of Shabbaton retreats.
Thankfully, Hillel at UWO works tirelessly to encourage Jewish students to continue participating in Shabbat dinners.
This past month, Hannah Gofman, Arielle Kaplan and Emma Leese, three Hillel members and students, organized the Shabbat Across London program.
The goal of the program was to conduct numerous Shabbat dinners among Jewish students in London in order to keep alive the tradition of Shabbat.
Groups or individuals signed up to host dinners, and were supplemented with Shabbat candles, two loaves of challah, a bottle of Manischewitz wine and a specially designed prayer book.
Thanks to Hillel, Birthright Israel and private donations from various Jewish camps, 21 hosts opened their homes to about 350 students.
Shabbat Across London was immensely successful in its ability to appeal to Jewish students of all denominations and backgrounds with the shared objective of celebrating Shabbat.
Similar to my experience on Shabbatons, I found my idea of Shabbat again shifted with a newfound reverence among my fellow Jewish students in London.
My latest modification of Shabbat is rather fresh. In my last column, I wrote about my intention to volunteer in Florida during my family winter vacation.
Unfortunately, this vacation never came to fruition. Receiving the dreadful call that my paternal grandfather in Montreal required emergency surgery resulted in my family immediately terminating our visit.
The endless hours spent in the hospital during my weeklong stay in Montreal were exhausting.
Nevertheless, once Friday evening came, it seemed only natural to congregate at my grandparents' home for Shabbat dinner. Though that dinner seemed somewhat quiet and far less vibrant than usual, I believe it was the mysterious and mystical power of Shabbat that was able to keep my family calm and optimistic and thus soon welcome a successful outcome.
I will forever be grateful that in the face of happiness, success and even loss and tragedy, Shabbat dinners will always remain a constant time of rest and reflection.

From OpenWetWare
We decided to divide our project into several subprojects to do experiments in parallel. The sub-projects are GATE, PORTER, and MEMBRANE projects. We also have SIMULATION project to evaluate design of each sub-project.
Sub-project GATE
GATE is the gatekeeper that allows only the target to enter the cell. Actually, is cylindrical DNA nanostructure connecting the inside and outside of membrane like a channel. Because GATE is made of DNA origami, electric repulsions caused by the negative charge of the DNA backbone prevent not desired DNA from entering GATE.
In order to work as an injector (or extractor) a PORTER system is planted inside this cylinder (see next section).
Sub-project GOAL
The goal of this sub-project is to prove this structure is self-assembled by electrophoresis and AFM
Sub-project PORTER
PORTER is in charge of the active transporting of the target into GATE. It is composed of single stranded DNA (ssDNA) sequences. Each ssDNA sequence is called Porter. These Porters are designed to transfer target DNA strands into (or out from) the membrane. The first Porter is likely to be outside GATE because of its electric repulsion. Furthermore, the first Porter catches the target DNA and pull it inside the GATE by hybridizing with it. Inner Porters that have higher affinity than the previous Porter pull the target inside GATE step by step.
Sub-project GOAL
The goal of this sub-project is to confirm this Porter system is working by electrophoresis
Sub-project MEMBRANE
As active transporter, "CELL-GATE" should work in a cell membrane. Thus, a implementation module for inserting it to membranes needs to be designed. DNA sequences with a hydrophobic molecule (cholesterol) are attached outside and around GATE. We use a liposome (artificial lipid vesicle) as a model for the cell membrane.
Sub-project GOAL
The goal of this sub-project is to attach gate structure on liposomes and observe them by fluorescence microscope.

Did You Know?
The Eurasian Eagle Owl is amongst the largest owls on earth -- with a wingspan of 6ft!
Did you know that rhinos have existed on Earth for over 50 million years?
The black rhino can look intimidating given their large size and sharp horns, but they're actually pretty gentle unless they feel threatened. These herbivores tend to be solitary and spend most of their day grazing out in the sun. It's been exciting having Jello and Doppsee here for over two years now. If you haven't come by to see them yet, try and do so before colder weather begins -- they spend winters indoors.
Speaking of visiting, the fourth annual World Rhino Day is cominup up on Sunday, September 22 and we hope you'll join our celebration at Potter Park Zoo.
We're offering special behind-the-scenes tours led by the rhino's zookeepers. This is a neat opportunity to learn about what it takes to care for these fascinating creatures and maybe even meet one up close! Find more details and ticket information by calling 517-342-2709.

This morning the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame unveiled its list of names for its voting body to consider for induction as part of the institution's 2015 class. The ballot includes first-year eligibles Green Day and Nine Inch Nails (who per the nomination criteria released their debut records in 1989), first-time nominees the Smiths, Sting, Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Bill Withers, and returning names the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Chic, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, Kraftwerk, the Marvelettes, N.W.A, Lou Reed, the Spinners, and War. While the organization has garnered a lot of (justified) heat for its seemingly elitist and out-of-touch view of which artists are worthy of being canonized as part of a body that honors excellent and influential rock 'n' roll artists (Exhibits A and B: the shocking number of times Black Sabbath and the Stooges had to be nominated before getting the nod), recent strides like an online ballot that the public can vote for and a progressively more enlightened selection of nominees (with particular consideration given to previously underrepresented genres like heavy metal and prog) have been respectable efforts to correct those shortcomings.

Around 8:30 in the morning, nursing a cup of coffee, I received the following text from a co-worker: "My iPod died."
Like me, he's one of those who have 20,000-plus songs loaded on his device. So, my heart couldn't help but sink a bit when I read his message. I know the hours it takes to put all that material back on the iPod. But until last week, we could at least take comfort in the fact we could always buy a brand new iPod Classic.
How unforunate it is that right as one storied music festival gets underway that another finds itself abruptly closing up shop. Just as England's Glastonbury festival is busy attracting huge crowds to its part of the globe for a bill topped by Metallica, Arcade Fire, and Kasabian, way down under the people in charge of Australia's Big Day Out have announced that they are canceling the event for next year.
There's a lot of chatter and speculation going on right now regarding YouTube's impending launch of its subscription-based service. Namely, that independent record labels are up on arms about the terms the video hosting website is supposedly offering, which according to the trade body Worldwide Independent Network disproportionately favor major labels Sony, Universal, and Warner Bros. at the expense of the indies. Even more alarming, an article by the Financial Times this week has stated that YouTube will start blocking material by those who have not agreed to the company's new terms "in a matter of days". Given YouTube's popularity and ubiquity, these moves have been seen as essentially throwing independent artists under a bus if they don't play along.
The United States is at an absolutely terrifying tipping point, and it's all because of one terrifying number: "1%-2%".
