Building on a successful program of prenatal stimulation previously reported, obstetrical routines were altered to provide more continuity with the womb environment. The paper reports both the rationale and specific procedures employed. The goal of the program was to treat the newborn as a person, minimize discomfort during birth and avoid conditions of possible stress and anxiety. Gentle stimulation included eye-to-eye contact, smiles, skin-to-skin touch, soothing voices, early breastfeeding, and enjoyable relations between mother, father, and child.
Both the incidence and scope of post-partum affective disorders are more pervasive than previously assumed. Several etiological factors have been implicated but none has fully explained the origins of the condition. This paper proposes that post-partum depression may be predicted from the expectant mother's representations of her own caregiver. Deficits in representational ability may prevent the caregiver from envisioning herself as a competent mother capable of forging an adaptive relationship with the infant.
This paper identifies women who are at greater potential for medical complications in their pregnancies due to post traumatic stress resulting from previous perinatal loss. The loss may have been suffered by the woman herself during a past pregnancy or she may have inherited heightened anxiety from perinatal loss experienced by her mother. In the latter case, the unresolved grief is transmitted from mother to daughter, affecting physiological, emotional and behavioral patterns in the next generation. Pregnancy presents an opportunity for healing.
This article, based on interviews about pregnancy, birth, childraising, and career with 31 middle-class Anglo women, examines self- and body image as microcosmic mirrors of social relationships and worldview. All interviewees are professionals in positions of power and authority. They tend to see the body as an imperfect tool that the more perfect self should control. They tend to experience pregnancy and birth as unpleasant because they are so out-of-control, and to emphasize the separation of the self from the body and from the fetus growing inside that body.
In the 20th century, probably more people have had the experience of birth than in all previous centuries combined. The current rate is almost 10,000 births per hour. In any given nine-month period, there are about 180 million expectant parents going through a unique life-changing experience. Research and therapy focused on the prenatal and perinatal period confirms that pregnancy and birth are formative experiences for both babies and parents. Yet, in the century of maximum birthing, psychological principles and interactions have been radically altered.
This paper is an attempt at an historical survey of psychotherapies that have successfully accessed pre- and perinatal memories. A variety of ways in which psychotherapists work with material that is felt by the therapist or the client to be linked to pre- or perinatal life are discussed, and certain desirable criteria for the practice of humanistic and rational pre- and perinatal psychotherapy are suggested.
In a village in Egypt two patterns of infant and child rearing were observed. Uneducated mothers living in extended families used a high contact style of infant rearing and child nurses to produce children who were cooperative, family oriented and highly attached to their mother. Educated women living in nuclear families used a low contact style of infant rearing and adult caretakers to produce children who were ego oriented and able to achieve independently of their family.
Colic is a disorder of early infancy marked by excessive amounts of loud, persistent crying. Lesser amounts of crying are considered normal in infants. Neither the crying of colicky infants nor the baseline crying of normal human infants have any homologue in the vocal behavior of other mammalian infants. This human-specific cry continuum may reflect a human-specific discomfort continuum which is function of the general immaturity of human neonates. Such immaturity may be the result of selection for altricial birth forced by cephalo-pelvic incompatibility during birth.

Renewable "green" energy is having a tough slog in the United States. While some countries, such as Germany and China, are investing huge amounts of money in renewable energy, in the U.S. things are moving backward in some ways. With budgets strapped, states and the federal government have ended many tax credits that had funded green energy initiatives. Republicans have made attacking government loans and credits for renewable energy projects part of their campaign pitch, and even the Democrats, while giving lip service to green energy at their convention, are balking at subsidies and talking up shale gas.
Enter Google, the $40 billion Internet company.
A year ago, Google, which says it is already carbon-neutral—a goal that its founders espoused from the beginning—began a major program of buying renewable energy rather than using carbon-based energy and then offsetting it. This year, the company has turned things around and is investing in green power generation directly, instead of just buying it from others.
As Kojo Ako-Asari, corporate finance manager, explains, there are a lot of renewable energy projects across the U.S. with good potential out there in wind, solar, water, geothermal and other sectors, "but there is not a lot of capital available to develop them."
"We at Google had a $30 to $40 billion cash balance, so we thought, 'hey, if we can invest in green energy, it could help us bring down the price, bring down the cost of these projects, and help our customers gain access to green energy, too," he says.
Google committed $915 million to renewable energy projects through the end of 2011, with $880 million of that in 2011 alone. "That's a relatively small investment for Google, but it's a large investment for the sector," Ako-Asari says.
The company estimates that its investments represent about 11% of the total amount invested in the U.S. in renewable energy in 2011.
In December, Google closed a deal on an 88-megawatt project with Recurrent Energy and the investment firm KKR. It was the company's ninth power generation investment.
"We recognize our core business expertise is not managing a power generator," says Ako-Asari, "so we partner with groups that have that expertise."
Even so, the company realized that it needed to have expertise in the power generation area just to be able to decide how to best invest its money. To meet that challenge, Google last year expanded its renewable energy team and split it into two groups. One team focuses on deploying capital to fund established technologies and the other focuses on transformative technologies.
Treasury, as program leader, supports both teams by conducting financial and risk analyses for all the projects targeted for investment. There is also an investment committee, consisting of Google Treasurer Brent Callinicos, the head of energy and the company's deputy general counsel.
Ako-Asari stresses that the green energy program is not an act of charity or even PR. "We're in this for profit," he says. "These investments are structured to generate a profit for the company's investors." He agrees that the program is also a "win-win" for the company, as successful projects are expected to help lower the cost Google pays for energy—the company used 2.7 million megawatts of power in 2011—and should also generate goodwill among the search giant's users.
As the Google gains experience, Ako-Asari says it plans to expand its investments beyond the U.S. to include the rest of the world. Already Google has one investment in a renewable energy project in Germany.

Affordable Care Act OPEN for business! US Government partially SHUTDOWN!
There was REALLY GOOD NEWS YESTERDAY as the protections for WE THE PEOPLE of the US continued to be implemented through the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) with the launching of the MARKETPLACES! I am among the citizens of the US very grateful for this long awaited milestone. Consider how many times WE THE PEOPLE of the US have tried to get reasonable healthcare coverage. The bad news is that each time a small minority of selfish citizens opposed this healthy provision for ALL the citizens of the USA.
The controversy over the ACA is like the controversy when Social Security was introduced. This controversy is like the controversy when Medicare and Medicaid were made law. I think it is astounding that there was not this kind of dysfunctional controversy when George W. Bush prevailed with the prescription drug coverage under Medicare – Part D. I suspect part of this is due to the fact that the President agreed to PREVENT the US Government through Medicare to NEGOTIATE DRUG PRICES. This meant that the pharmaceutical corporations were ENTHUSIASTIC for the Part D provisions. WHY NOT? Review the SOARING PRICES of prescription drugs since Part D went into effect. Put this in context with the reports of lower prices negotiated by the Veteran's Administration and other agencies. WHY is Medicare locked in a strait-jacket? This is a major reform I think should be passed into law vis-�-vis Medicare Part D.
I share the perspective articulated by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's editorial, "Obamacare: A major step toward fairness."
I agree with the two (2) facts cited by the editorial:
"Republicans continue to resist Obamacare — some cartoonishly (see "Ted Cruz" and "filibuster"). A wide philosophical divide remains in Congress and will not be closed anytime soon. But it's worth recalling two facts:
"The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Obamacare, and the president won re-election after his opponent made repealing the law a major plank in his platform.
"Threats to shut down the government or — worse — to fail to extend the debt ceiling and flirt with default over this law are sheer folly and reveal an opposition more concerned with its own interests than the broader interests of the American people.
"Obamacare is here to stay. Improve it. Make it work."
Where is the practical American attitude to "IMPROVE" and "MAKE IT WORK"?! I agree with the assertion that the ACA needs to be IMPROVED! This is the start… look at improvements which have been made through the years to SOCIAL SECURITY, MEDICARE and MEDICAID and most laws passed by the US Congress. It is an INCREMENTAL PROCESS! One-step-at-a-time evolution to make better and better. Isn't this "THE AMERICAN WAY"?
The Editorial offers opportunity to LEARN MORE as it concludes – I cited those opportunities for your easy access.

Democrat Burke says Walker painted rosy picture
MADISON — Democratic candidate for governor Mary Burke says Gov. Scott Walker is painting an overly rosy picture of the state's economy.
Burke reacted Wednesday to Walker's State of the State speech in which he called for cutting property and income taxes $504 million in light of state revenues that are $912 million higher than originally anticipated.
Burke said she would use the surplus to pay down the state's debt, target property tax relief to the middle class, and put more money into worker training.
Some Republican senators have criticized Walker's tax cuts for increasing the state's projected budget shortfall, but say a strong economy will erase that deficit.
Walker is calling for increasing worker training spending by $35 million in addition to cutting taxes.

Regulators lift order against Janesville-based bank
JANESVILLE—State and federal regulators have removed a consent order against a Janesville-based bank accused last year of unsound banking practices and violations of law or regulations.
Mike Jones, chief executive officer of Mid America Bank, said the fact that the bank has been able to work through the consent order in less than a year is a testament to its board, staff and business partners who worked diligently to address the deficiencies noted by the regulators.
The order, an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions, went into effect Feb. 27, 2013.
The consent agreement stated the bank does not admit or deny "the charges of unsafe or unsound banking practices and violations of law or regulation relating to weaknesses in asset quality, capital, management, liquidity, sensitivity to market risk and earnings."
As part of the consent order, Mid America was required to put into effect a variety of accounting procedures and corrections and to:
--Not pay any dividend without written consent of the state and federal agencies.
--Adopt an information-technology program that addresses "deficiencies."
--"Retain qualified management" that will "restore all aspects of the bank to a safe and sound condition."
--Retain a consultant to perform a management study, with evaluations of all bank officers and staff members, evaluations of bank officers' salaries and benefits and recommendations for hiring additional or replacement workers and the training or reassignment of officers or staff members.
--Increase participation of the board of directors in the bank's affairs.
--Implement a detailed ethics policy, including ethics training for staff.
--Not extend credit to any borrower whose loan or other credit had been classified as substandard or doubtful.
--Implement a plan to reduce the bank's risk position.
--Implement comprehensive loan-grading and review procedures.
"We have strengthened the operations of the bank, significantly improved the asset quality, added key personnel and otherwise moved rapidly to repair and improve the underlying concerns," Jones said in a news release. "Our work is not complete, and the lessons learned will not be forgotten, but we are feeling very good about the future."
Mid America Bank is the former Footville State Bank, chartered in 1910. It was purchased and renamed in 1989, and it moved to Janesville the next year, according to its website. The bank opened a branch in Williams Bay in 1999.
It also has loan production offices in Waukesha and Madison.

Sanchez, reliable with glove, bat, fits Sox plans
By Bernie Pleskoff / MLB.com
The Chicago White Sox did not transform their roster with massive trades or high-profile free-agent signings this offseason. Rather, senior vice president/general manager Rick Hahn has shared his desire to build a club with a nucleus of players from within the organization.
Hahn has emphasized the importance of developing prospects to mix with veterans in forming a club that can consistently compete and contend.
I had the opportunity to scout one of the White Sox promising prospects in this past Arizona Fall League.
In 2009, switch-hitting infielder Carlos Sanchez was signed as an international free agent from Venezuela.
Now only 20 years old, Sanchez displays similar defensive proficiency we have seen from so many Venezuelan middle infielders. He may not be flashy, but he's extremely competent, dependable and versatile.
While his defense is the focal point of his game, Sanchez has a very effective and efficient bat. He makes contact and has the ability to get on base. In fact, Sanchez's offense has improved every year of his professional career.
Sanchez looks a little bit hefty in comparison to many other middle infielders. In reality, he really isn't heavy. He's 5-foot-11, 175 pounds. He has some deceptive speed, and can run enough to steal and make things happen on the bases.
Offensively, Sanchez has enough bat control and makes good enough contact to potentially serve as a top-of-the-order hitter. He has a discerning eye at the plate, and doesn't waste an at-bat by trying to stretch his talent beyond his capabilities.
To his credit, Sanchez supplements his offensive game and increases his value by being able to bunt.
After signing with the White Sox, Sanchez began his career in the Dominican Summer League at age 17. He played in only 22 games and got 42 plate appearances. He finished with a .156 batting average, playing both second base and shortstop.
The following season, Sanchez again played in the Dominican Summer League, where he went to the plate 203 times. He improved to .269 and stole seven bases. Most of his games were played at third base, but he also saw time at second and shortstop. He showed his versatility and value as a sure-handed infielder.
In his age-19 season, Sanchez played at Bristol in the Rookie League and at Class A Kannapolis in the Southern League. He hit a combined .286 in 318 plate appearances. Again, he showed an increased batting average. He drew 20 walks and struck out a very respectable 51 times.
Last year, Sanchez again showed an ability to make contact, get on base and score runs. He played at three White Sox classifications, including Class A Advanced Winston-Salem, Double-A Birmingham and Triple-A Charlotte. At only 20, Sanchez hit a combined .323 in 588 plate appearances.
Sanchez was selected to play on the World Team in the 2012 All-Star Futures Game in Kansas City. That's where I first saw him play. He played third base and got two at-bats. He smacked a double, scored a run and struck out once. Overall, he had a good game.
Following the regular season, Sanchez joined the Salt River Rafters in the AFL, where he really made the numerous scouts in attendance take notice.
Sanchez hit .299 over 87 at-bats. Included were four doubles and a triple. He also stole a league-leading 11 bases, getting caught only three times. He walked 13 times and struck out 18 times.
He hit .276 against right-handed pitching and .345 off lefties.
Sanchez has a short, compact, measured swing. He doesn't have the quickest hands or the fastest bat speed, but his bat is quick enough. He makes contact. He recognizes pitches well and just tries to meet the pitch where it's thrown. The net result is positive. He sprays the ball all over the field, mostly hitting singles or moving runners.
Sanchez should not be viewed as a source of power. If he ever starts hitting fly balls, they will likely fall short of the fence, and he'll become an easy out. His game is hitting line drives or hitting the ball "where they ain't."
Sanchez is very fluid in the field. He has good range to all directions. He played only second base in the Fall League, taking 126 chances and making only two errors in 22 games.
I particularly liked his movements making the double play. His footwork was virtually flawless. He fed the shortstop with throws that were accurate and easy to handle. He has enough arm strength and accuracy to make plays from behind the bag at second, or from anywhere he plays on the infield. His soft hands play well.
I have no doubt Sanchez can play either third base or shortstop. But the club may want more power from their third baseman. As a shortstop, Sanchez would succeed, but he really fits well at second. As noted above, his range is good, but it may be better at second than shortstop.
Projecting Sanchez as a Major League player, I think his skill set plays very well as a second baseman. That's where I feel he is the most complete player and profiles best.
As I look ahead at his future, I see a versatile infielder capable of playing as an everyday regular. In the worst case, Sanchez could come off the bench as a utility player. But I project him beyond that limited role.
While he may be known for his dependable defense, Sanchez will likely surprise with his ability to hit for a high average and move runners along.
MLB.com ranks Sanchez the seventh-best White Sox prospect.
Sanchez is the type of versatile prospect that fits extremely well with the future direction of the White Sox.

'Government of the people, by the people and for the people'—SILLY REMARKS of the president
What a shock to learn from an Associated Press article last week that The Harrisburg Patriot & Union reported in 1863 on President Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address," "We pass over the silly remarks of the President. For the credit of the nation we are willing that the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and that they shall be no more repeated or thought of."
I had to memorize those "silly remarks" as a Junior High School student. Did YOU have to memorize those "silly words" too?
Tomorrow we observe the 150th anniversary of President Abraham Lincoln's "GETTYSBURG ADDRESS" at the Dedication of the National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA where UNION soldiers from the Battle of Gettysburg which took place July 1 – 2 – 3, 1863 with causalities exceeding 55,000 AMERICANS – yes, AMERICANS ALL – Union and Confederate troops. If you want to review that very significant battle during our civil war, I suggest Wikipedia's very detailed feature article, "Battle of Gettysburg."
YOU may want to read the whole Associated Press story released last week on November 14 which has been published in newspapers throughout the nation, "150 years later, Pennsylvania newspaper apologizes for panning Gettysburg Address."
I encourage you to read the whole report. I was interested to learn that during the civil war, the Harrisburg Patriot & Union was a Democratic newspaper that was staunchly opposed to Lincoln.
This report was reprinted all over the US since the successor of the Harrisburg Patriot & Union, the Patriot-News of Harrisburg published a retraction which echoes Lincoln's now-familiar language, said the newspaper's November 1863 coverage was wrong when it described the speech as "silly remarks" that deserved a "veil of oblivion." So, finally, after 150 years, the newspaper now says it regrets the error of not seeing its "momentous importance, timeless eloquence and lasting significance."
As we prepare to observe the 150th anniversary of THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS tomorrow, we reflect on the public address which many commentators have asserted clarified the purpose of and motivated support of the civil war. Furthermore, many of us attest that the address has inspired us as American citizens. I am one of those citizens. Are you?
When I took the first WASHINGTON SEMINAR on field study in 1973, we started our week of field study at THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL where I reminded the students of the significant resolutions which President Lincoln articulated to the Americans gathered to dedicate the National Cemetery in Gettysburg. I asserted my conviction that those resolutions echo to us – WE THE PEOPLE of the US – NOW… 1973 and now today, 2013. I was with the WASHINGTON SEMINAR field study groups through 2002 – 30 years. Since 2001, my successor, JOE VAN ROOY has been leading the WASHINGTON SEMINAR field study groups. He continues the tradition of using THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS for the opening of the seminar field study. 2014 will be the 42nd annual WASHINGTON SEMINAR field study.
And now, since 2010, my former Seminar student, VAL CROFTS, the AP US Government & Politics teacher at Milton High School, has been taking students on a field study to Washington with the same goals as WASHINGTON SEMINAR. He titled his field study, "Discovering Democracy." The Discovering Democracy field study in 2014 will be the 5th annual. Val has integrated THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS resolutions into the opening of "Discovering Democracy."
Having memorized "The Gettysburg Address" in Junior High School, I can still cite the whole Gettysburg Address from memory today. I will do that in my "American Government & Politics" class at UW-Whitewater tomorrow afternoon (Tuesday, 11/19) to emphasize for my students the significance of THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS and its MEANINGFUL FOR US TODAY (2013).
You may want to review the history of THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS as part of your observance of this 150th anniversary. I read the Wikipedia article, "Gettysburg Address" with helpful reminders for me.
Reading the Wikipedia article, I was happy to see the picture of President Lincoln taken at the Dedication on November 19, 1863. I also noted the ongoing research as to the actual location of the place where the speakers stood has been researched extensively. The article reports, "Modern scholarship locates the speakers' platform 40 yards (or more) away from the Traditional Site within Soldiers' National Cemetery at the Soldiers' National Monument and entirely within private, adjacent Evergreen Cemetery." You are likely aware that there are five different manuscripts of THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS. Each of the manuscripts is published in the Wikipedia article and analyzed.
As YOU read the resolutions which President Lincoln challenged to his audience. I believe the challenge to make those RESOLUTIONS are echoing to us with SIGNIFICANT RELEVANCE & CHALLENGE to us today (November 19, 2013) the 150th anniversary of "The Gettysburg Address."
Read and cogitate and reflect on Lincoln's challenges to resolutions in his Gettysburg Address:
"that we here highly resolve
(1) that these dead shall not have died in vain;
(2) that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom,
(3) that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Will YOU resolve that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall NOT perish from the earth? YOU may want to re-read the closing phase of the Gettysburg Address and read aloud taking into consideration the assertion by one scholar discussing Lincoln's delivery of The Gettysburg Address that Lincoln emphasized the word, "PEOPLE." The emphasis was, "…government of the PEOPLE, by the PEOPLE, for the PEOPLE." I think this reflects Lincoln's conviction of the significance of the Preamble of our US Constitution with its opening, "WE THE PEOPLE…"

The Fiber Disease
Human Anatomy, Physiology, and Medicine. Anything human!
Moderator: BioTeam
Hey everybody, here is some disturbing facts that have been bothering me for several years now. Maybe someone can give me their thoughts on its relevancy to our problem. Sorry for the length, but it is a complicated subject, so you may want to look further on your own.
It has to do with the codon triplets, mainly the "stop codons" in particular. Here is some information copied from the Wikipedia website. The pertinent info is in red. My comments are in blue.
The genome of an organism, is inscribed in DNA, or in some viruses RNA. The portion of the genome that codes for a protein or an RNA is referred to as a gene. Those genes that code for proteins are composed of tri-nucleotide units called codons, each coding for a single amino acid. Each nucleotide sub-unit consists of a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and one of the 4 nitrogenous nucleotide bases. The purine bases adenine (A) and guanine (G) are larger and consist of two aromatic rings. The pyrimidine bases cytosine (C) and thymine (T) are smaller and consist of only one aromatic ring. In the double-helix configuration, two strands of DNA are joined to each other by hydrogen bonds in an arrangement known as base pairing. These bonds almost always form between an adenine base on one strand and a thymine on the other strand and between a cytosine base on one strand and a guanine base on the other. This means that the number of A and T residues will be the same in a given double helix as will the number of G and C residues. In RNA, thymine (T) is replaced by uracil (U), and the deoxyribose is substituted by ribose.
Each protein-coding gene is transcribed into a template molecule of the related polymer RNA, known as messenger RNA or mRNA. This in turn is translated on the ribosome into an amino acid chain or polypeptide. The process of translation requires transfer RNAs specific for individual amino acids with the amino acids covalently attached to them, guanosine triphosphate as an energy source, and a number of translation factors. tRNAs have anticodons complementary to the codons in mRNA and can be "charged" covalently with amino acids at their 3' terminal CCA ends. Individual tRNAs are charged with specific amino acids by enzymes known as aminoacyl tRNA synthetases which have high specificity for both their cognate amino acids and tRNAs. The high specificity of these enzymes is a major reasons why the fidelity of protein translation is maintained.
There are 4³ = 64 different codon combinations possible with a triplet codon of three nucleotides. In reality, all 64 codons of the standard genetic code are assigned for either amino acids or stop signals during translation. If, for example, an RNA sequence, UUUAAACCC is considered and the reading-frame starts with the first U (by convention,5' to 3'), there are three codons, namely, UUU, AAA and CCC, each of which specifies one amino acid. This RNA sequence will be translated into an amino acid sequence, three amino acids long.
Note that a codon is defined by the inital nucleotide from which translation starts. For example, the string GGGAAACCC, if read from the first position, contains the codons GGG, AAA and CCC;and if read from the second position, it contains the codons GGA and AAC; if read starting from the third position, GAA and ACC. Partial codons have been ignored in this example. Every sequence can thus be read in three reading frames, each of which will produce a different amino acid sequence (in the given example, Gly-Lys-Pro, Gly-Asp, or Glu-Thr, respectively). With double-stranded DNA there are six possible reading frames, three in the forward orientation on one strand and three reverse, or on the opposite strand.
The actual frame a protein sequence is translated in is defined by a start codon, usually the first AUG codon in the mRNA sequence. Mutations that disrupt the reading frame by insertions or deletions of one or two nucleotide bases are known as frameshift mutations. These mutations may impair the function of the resulting protein, if it is formed, and are thus rare in in vivo protein-coding sequences. Often such misformed proteins are targeted for proteolytic degradation. One reason for the rareness of frame-shifted mutations being inherited is that if the protein being translated is essential for growth under the selective pressures the organism faces, absence of a functional protein may cause lethality before the organism is viable.
Translation starts with a chain initiation codon (start codon). Unlike stop codons, the codon alone is not sufficient to begin the process. Nearby sequences and initiation factors are also required to start translation. The most common start codon is AUG, which also codes for methionine, but other start codons are also used.
The three stop codons have been given names: UAG is amber, UGA is opal (sometimes also called umber), and UAA is ochre. "Amber" was named after its discoverer Harris Bernstein, whose last name means "amber" in German. The other two stop codons were named 'ochre" and "opal" in order to keep the "color names" theme. Stop codons are also called termination codons and they signal release of the nascent polypeptide from the ribosome due to binding of release factors in the absence of cognate tRNAs with anticodons complementary to these stop signals.[2]
Numerous variations of the standard genetic code are found in mitochondria, which are energy-producing organelles that are found inside eukaryotic cells. Mycoplasma translate the codon UGA as tryptophan. Ciliate protozoa also have some variation in the genetic code: UAG and often UAA code for glutamine (a variant also found in some green algae), <why is that not surprising?>or UGA codes for cysteine. Another variant is found in some species of the yeast, Candida, where CUG codes for serine. In addition in some rare cases certain proteins may also use alternate initiation (start) codons.
In certain proteins, non-standard amino acids are substituted for standard stop codons, depending upon associated signal sequences in the messenger RNA: UGA can code for selenocysteine and UAG can code for pyrrolysine as discussed in the relevant articles. A detailed description of variations in the genetic code can be found at the NCBI web site. However, there may be other non-standard interpretations that are not yet known. Sequencing of genomes may reveal unique genetic codes that allow the incorporation of other novel amino acids into proteins.
True amber has sometimes been called kahroba, a word of Persian derivation signifying "that which attracts straw", in allusion to the power which amber possesses of acquiring an electric charge by friction. This property, first recorded by Thales of Miletus, suggested the word "electricity", from the Greek, elektron, a name applied, however, not only to amber but also to an alloy of gold and silver. By Latin writers amber is variously called electrum, sucinum (succinum), and glaesum or glesum. The Old Hebrew חשמל hashmal seems to have meant amber, although Modern Hebrew uses Arabic-inspired ענבר `inbar while חשמל hashmal means electricity.
Ochre or Ocher is a color, usually described as golden-yellow or light yellow brown. As a painting pigment it exists in at least four forms:
Yellow ochre, Fe2O3 • H2O, a hydrated Iron oxide
Red ochre, Fe2O3, chemically identical to yellow ochre, but reddened through heating
Purple ochre, identical to red ochre chemically but of a different hue caused by different light diffraction properties associated with a greater average particle size
Brown ochre (Goethite), also partly hydrated iron oxide (rust)
For further information, see the articles on the individual ochres. They are found throughout the world in many shades. Many sources consider the best brown ochre to come from Cyprus, and the best yellow and red ochre from Roussillon, France. All have been used since prehistoric times, and are some of oldest pigments used.
The mineraloid opal is amorphous SiO2·nH2O; hydrated silicon dioxide, <Another coincidence?" I think not!!>the water content sometimes being as high as 20% but is usually between three and ten percent. Opal ranges from colorless through white, milky blue, gray, red, yellow, green, brown and black. Common opal is truly amorphous, but precious opal does have a structural element. The word opal comes from the Sanskrit upala, the Greek opallios, and the Latin opalus, meaning "precious stone."
Opal is a mineraloid gel which is deposited at relatively low temperature and may occur in the fissures of almost any kind of rock, being most commonly found with limonite, sandstone, rhyolite, and basalt.
Opal is one of the mineraloids that can form or replace fossils. The resulting fossils, though not of any extra scientific interest, appeal to collectors.
I suggest that the implications here are staggering, please somebody tell me that I am wrong about this.
Thanks for the insight Deena. My reasons to file a law suit....whether provable or not....Time frame, documented cases, history records...we may be setting precidents. The money, yeah, I haven't left reality completely...I know the high wall, but I also know about Joshua.
I testified in front of a congressional hearing panel with regards to what was taking place in our area....spraying, poisoning, etc...that was some minor satisfaction. I also know I DID SOMETHING. We did not win, it cost us way too much that as you - did not have to spare....but, my kids are grown now, remembering their mother did not hide or roll over. They have strength, lots of it...and no doubt will need it down the pike. I feel that all the fibers, insects, and little bots I have collected are evidence as well as Sabrina's view....I can obtain them FRESH, on demand. I know about protocols, credible court evidence, yada...
they creeps stole almost every record, through certified mail, labs, etc...I have all the records, excuses, the "gees, dunno where they went..." we'll re-do them...6 months, 10 months, subpoenaes to the USDA, to get their findings, and yes, I am not afraid of losing anything....
I just have some gut feeling there is a Time Frame involved here, don't know how to logically explain, only that "someone" is telling me that it would be PRUDENT to take some steps...so I will pursue. Even if it is only a smoking gun...as I see it, "Ya got nothing, ya got nothing to lose" ~Dylan.
Besides, it is the ONLY thing I can do at this point...(besides give it to the Lord)
At one point til about 3 months ago, I could advance search on nuspa pages and copy from cache....they got those, too...wonder why it would be so important to remove......
And as I said previously, Bowen Labs have been involved with this since the beginning....OSU....I am sorry but that is truth....Dead friends don't lie. The creeps are stalling............now the question and I hate to really know the answer, is WHY.
BTW, has anyone else's e mails been re-directed? My friends, family weren't getting their e mails...got into a showdown with Yahoo...they finally e mailed me saying they were going to "Cornell" first to determine if they were spam or not.......LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLL!! Do not be afraid of those that can kill the body, rather fear him who can kill both body and soul.
The lawyer put up his own firm's money...he told me that Monsanto depositioned him in Alaska, and Hawaii both in the same week....it was expensive as hell to pursue for him....but as I said, it's about being on file at the moment...(for Deena)

Rhinosporidiosis: what is the cause?.
Skin and soft tissue infections
Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases. 18(2):113-118, April 2005.
Arseculeratne, Sarath Nanda
Abstract: ?Purpose of review: Significant advances in knowledge on rhinosporidiosis and Rhinosporidium seeberi were made in 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004. These advances are reviewed on account of the continuing sporadic occurrence of the disease universally, and because of the availability of new approaches that could resolve persisting enigmas of both the disease and its causative pathogen.
Recent findings: R. seeberi, the pathogen that causes rhinosporidiosis, has been definitively classified using molecular biological tools in a new clade - the Mesomycetozoea, along with 10 parasitic and saprobic microbes. The controversial spherical bodies of the endospores have been shown to comprise both lipid/protein nutritive bodies and other spherical bodies that are metabolizing units that reduce MTT (3-[4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl]-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide). This indicates the viability of these spherical bodies, provisionally identified as the electron dense bodies that have also been shown to contain nucleic acids. MTT reduction as an indicator of viability has been used to determine the sensitivity of rhinosporidial endospores to biocides, antimicrobial drugs, and to specific antibodies. Genetic heterogeneity has been identified in strains from humans and animals. Cell-mediated and humoral immune responses have been demonstrated in human patients and in mice. Several mechanisms of immune evasion by R. seeberi have been identified.
Summary: These findings are applicable in both clinical and laboratory practice, while the basic advances have implications in further work on experimental pathogenicity, the biology of R. seeberi, and on the epidemiology and pathogenesis of rhinosporidiosis.

Beer and Cheese Pairings: St. Patrick's Day 2012
St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and what better way to celebrate than with an Irish cheese plate? Our team at Formaggio Kitchen Cambridge have put together a selection of some of our favorites and Eric, our Cambridge beer buyer, has given us a list of fantastic beers to pair with them. Best wishes for a safe and happy St. Patrick's Day. Éirinn go Brách!
Ardrahan – Made by Mary Burns*, near Kanturk, County Cork, Ardrahan is a washed-rind cow milk cheese with a pungent, farmhouse aroma. Ireland is experiencing a renaissance in artisan cheesemaking and Ardrahan could be considered a forerunner of the movement – Mary and her husband, Eugene, began making it back in 1983. In fact, their first customers were not Irish at all but French. It didn't take long, however, for the cheese to catch on at home. And no wonder – it is creamy and nutty in flavor, with a slight saltiness and a delicious rind. A great pairing with a strong ale or, as Mary herself has said, "[Ardrahan] goes down very, very well with Irish whiskey. It's been well researched, well tried out."
Eric's recommended beer pairing: Brouwerij Verhaeghe – Duchesse de Bourgogne
Coolea – In the late 1970s, Helene and Dick Willems moved from the Netherlands to Ireland and bought a farm in a remote part of the country where Irish Gaelic is still spoken. Cheesemaking began as a hobby but increasing demand from neighbors and eventually from shops turned it into more than that. Today, their son, Dicky, and his wife, Sinead, carry on the tradition. Modeled after Gouda and made with milk from cows that graze on rich bog land, Coolea is firm, with an occasional crunch from denatured protein clusters. It has great depth of flavor with a balanced sweetness reminiscent of salty caramel.
Eric's recommended beer pairing: Harpoon Brewery – Black IPA
Cashel Blue – Made by the husband and wife team of Louis and Jane Grubb at Beechmount in County Tipperary, this is one of Ireland's most well-known artisan blue cheeses. The Grubb family have been long associated with the Cashel area and it looks as though the tradition will continue – Louis and Jane's daughter, Sarah, and her husband, Sergio, joined the family business in 2003. Cashel Blue is named after Cashel Rock, which overlooks the pastures where the family's cows graze. It is creamy, rich and savory.
Eric's recommended beer pairing: Pretty Things – Baby Tree
Crozier Blue – Made by the same team that is behind Cashel Blue, this cheese is made with sheep instead of cow milk.
For this cheese, however, instead of using milk from their own cows, they use sheep milk from Louis Grubb's cousin, Henry Clifton Brown. Henry maintains a flock of 300 Friesland sheep. Crozier Blue is a creamy cheese with hints of salt and toasted nuts.
Eric's recommended beer pairing: Cambridge Brewing Co – Scotch Ale

Raoul Weil, the former head of UBS AG's global wealth management business accused of conspiring to help Americans evade taxes, was ordered to post bail of $10.5 million before trial, according to a court filing.
Weil, 54, appeared today in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, for the first time since he was indicted in October 2008 and declared a fugitive. U.S. Magistrate Judge Patrick Hunt said Weil must post a $9 million personal surety bond with a cash deposit of $4 million, as well as a $1 million corporate surety bond and a $500,000 personal surety bond, according to minutes of the hearing.
Weil's lawyer has said he is innocent. He is the highest-ranking banker among about 100 people charged since 2008 by the U.S. in a crackdown on offshore tax evasion. About three dozen foreign bankers, lawyers, and advisers were charged. Tax lawyers not involved in the case said they expect Weil to plead guilty, cooperate with prosecutors, and seek leniency at sentencing.
"There's a good chance he'll be ready to cooperate, and he'll be throwing his people under the bus," said attorney Edward Robbins of Hochman, Salkin, Rettig, Toscher & Perez in Beverly Hills, California. "He knows where all the dead bodies are. To the extent that the government missed any, he can tell them where they are."
In the hourlong hearing today, Hunt said Weil's $9 million bond must be co-signed by his wife, and that the $500,000 personal surety bond must be co-signed by friends in New Jersey. He can travel to the Southern District of New York, Southern District of Florida, and New Jersey. He must report to the court's Pre-Trial Services office in New Jersey, according to the filing.
Weil's attorney, Aaron R. Marcu of Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP in New York, and Dena Iverson, a Justice Department spokeswoman, didn't immediately respond to e-mails seeking comment on the bail conditions.
Weil, who lived and worked in Switzerland, was arrested Oct. 19 after checking into a hotel in Bologna, Italy. He was extradited to the U.S., and arrived Dec. 12 at the Broward County Jail, according to the county sheriff's website. His arraignment is scheduled for Jan. 7.
He is accused in the indictment of running a cross-border business that used secret Swiss accounts to conceal $20 billion in assets from the Internal Revenue Service.
Marcu wouldn't comment on whether Weil may cooperate.
"He has consistently denied doing or knowing of anything unlawful, and we look forward to the opportunity to present his case in court," Marcu said yesterday in a statement.
'Toxic Waste'
Weil, who referred to the U.S. cross-border business as "toxic waste," ordered that his bankers attract more clients as Zurich-based UBS helped them hide accounts from the IRS, according to the indictment.
Four months after Weil's indictment, U.S. prosecutors charged UBS. The bank avoided prosecution by paying $780 million, admitting it fostered tax evasion, and handing over information on more than 250 U.S. accounts. It later disclosed data on another 4,450 accounts. Dozens of UBS account holders were among about 70 taxpayers charged by the U.S.
If Weil cooperates with prosecutors, they can urge a judge to give him a shorter sentence. He faces as many as five years in prison.
"It is the policy of the Department of Justice to try to have people enter into pleas and get their sentences reduced by assisting the U.S. government in going after others," said tax attorney Martin Press of Fort Lauderdale. "He could be a treasure trove of additional information."
Since the UBS deferred-prosecution agreement, more than 38,000 U.S. taxpayers have avoided charges by voluntarily disclosing their secret accounts to the IRS while identifying the offshore banks that enabled them. Those disclosures, along with data handed over by UBS, could make Weil less effective as a witness, according to tax attorney Nathan Hochman.
"The window for his cooperation has shrunk and shrunk and shrunk as the U.S. government has gathered huge amounts of information from UBS and from taxpayers through the Offshore Voluntary Disclosure Program," said Hochman of Bingham McCutchen LLP in Santa Monica, California. "What may have been useful five years ago is certainly a lot less useful today."
Still, Weil's "only choice is to win at trial or turn over information that the U.S. government doesn't have," he said.
Precedent for Cooperation
Some Swiss enablers have cooperated with prosecutors.
Former UBS banker Renzo Gadola pleaded guilty in 2010, admitting he serviced hundreds of secret Swiss accounts from 1995 to 2008. He cooperated with prosecutors and got five years of probation. The judge cited his "extraordinary cooperation."
Former UBS banker Bradley Birkenfeld, who disclosed the UBS tax scheme to U.S. authorities in 2007, later pleaded guilty. In 2009, he got 40 months in prison, 10 more than prosecutors sought. In 2012, the IRS awarded him $104 million for blowing the whistle, the largest individual payout in U.S. history.
Swiss lawyer Edgar Paltzer pleaded guilty in New York on Aug. 16, admitting he conspired for more than a decade to commit tax fraud by helping U.S. clients hide millions of dollars. Paltzer is cooperating with U.S. authorities, said his lawyer, Thomas Ostrander.
On Oct. 14, former UBS banker Martin Lack surrendered to U.S. authorities in Miami to face a 2011 indictment that he conspired to help Americans evade taxes. Lack, a Swiss resident and investment adviser, was arraigned and released on a $750,000 bond. The U.S. agreed to let him return to Switzerland.
The case is U.S. v. Weil, 08-cr-60322, U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida (Fort Lauderdale).

Police seek suspect in theft from vending machine
JANESVILLE—In a brazen act of theft, a man recently walked into a Janesville business, drilled out the lock on a vending machine and made off with hundreds of dollars, police say.
Police on Wednesday asked the public's help in identifying the man they believe committed the act.
The man entered Prent Corp., 2225 Kennedy Road, during business hours Jan. 16. He went to the employee break room and broke into the machine, police said.
Police provided two photos from a security camera showing the suspect standing outside an exterior door, waiting for someone to let him in. He is holding a small bag in his hand, where presumably he had tools he used to commit the theft.
The man convinced someone inside that he was a repairman who had come to fix a vending machine,� Detective Kyle Austin said.
"It was extremely simple, but it worked," Austin said. "Apparently, he played the part correctly, so nobody suspected anything."
Austin said the information was sent to law enforcement statewide in hopes that someone would recognize this kind of caper as happening in other jurisdictions. Janesville police have gotten no response.

Kathleen Parker: Democrats are demonizing the Kochs
WASHINGTON -- Rush Limbaugh can relax. The popular "demon of the right" has been replaced at least through the midterms by the Koch brothers, Charles and David.
�Exactly. Though cable and online news junkies know the names, the vast majority of Americans probably have no idea who the Kochs are. They're about to find out.
�For the uninitiated, the brothers are libertarian billionaires whose vast industries in petroleum, asphalt, natural gas liquids, coal and ethanol employ 60,000 people. More to the point, they are spending gobs of their own money to sway politics toward free-market principles and away from current government expansionist trends.
�For this, they have been targeted by Democrats, who are not exactly penniless when it comes to advancing their own politicians and policies. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid broke down all barriers to protocol recently when he called the Kochs "un-American."
�Charles Koch, in an op-ed in The Wall Street Journal, responded by calling Democrats "collectivists."
�"Instead of encouraging free and open debate, collectivists strive to discredit and intimidate opponents," wrote Koch. "They engage in character assassination. (I should know, as the almost daily target of their attacks.) This is the approach that Arthur Schopenhauer described in the 19th century, that Saul Alinsky famously advocated in the 20th, and that so many despots have infamously practiced. Such tactics are the antithesis of what is required for a free society—and a telltale sign that the collectivists do not have good answers."
�Billionaires, ya gotta love 'em.
�But they're so much easier to hate.
�Thus, Democrats are trying to make the Koch brothers the new face of the Republican Party. Conveniently, the name Koch is pronounced the same as that other capitalist goliath, Coke.
�Appointing a person—or a pair of brothers—as the human face of the "enemy" is not a novel idea. During a previous election cycle, the Obama administration identified Limbaugh as the true leader of the Republican Party. This was an easy sell as many Republicans genuflected to Limbaugh, even apologizing when they might have offended him.
�And Limbaugh, whose grandiosity needs no buffing, was all too willing to accept service on the credential. The more the left hates Limbaugh, the richer he gets. Oh, please, Mr. Democrat, hate my guts some more.
�Mr. Limbaugh, take your bow, it's Koch time.
�The doubling down on the Kochs has been in play for some months, advanced by frequent mentions among liberal commentators who, though perhaps not as influential as Limbaugh, have large followings. But Reid's McCarthyesque name-calling took hell to the devil. It was not only cringe-inducing but also profoundly sad. One would hope the leader of the Senate Democrats might have better rhetorical devices at his intellectual disposal.
�Reid suffers no remorse and fired back that he was delighted if people now knew who those un-Americans are. The more who despise the Kochs, the better. The Kochs aren't just leaders of the Republican Party, as Democrats are proposing; they are the face of the Haves. To dislike the Kochs is to dislike the wealthy in general.
�This is really the heart of the Democratic proposition. As the midterm elections take shape around the debate about income inequality, the Kochs personify the uncaring-est of the 1 percenters. Before November comes and goes, the Kochs may as well have been tarred and feathered and made to ride backward on a mule down Pennsylvania Avenue.
�One needn't support the brothers' preference for unfettered markets or their willingness to fund positions that might favor them. Plenty of conservatives disagree with their support for tea party insurgents and their climate-change skepticism.
�Allowing the super-wealthy to disproportionately influence political outcomes might indeed be bad for the democratic process—and that's of legitimate concern to all. But one's eyes should be wide open when people are singled out as un-American. What's next? A Senate committee investigating such un-American activities as advocating free-market principles or pursuing capitalist endeavors?
�Of course, I'm kidding. That could never happen here, except it sort of already has. When Reid called the Kochs un-American, a powerful government official fired a shot across the bow of two private citizens who have acted within the law while contributing wealth to the economy through employment.
�Yes, it was bad when right-wingers called Obama un-American, but Obama is the most powerful man in the world and the rabble is just that. Reid owes the Kochs—and the American people—an apology.

Second-half stunner: Badgers storm back to beat Hoosiers
MADISON--Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan told his team at halftime to just do its thing. He told Sam Dekker during one huddle to make his presence felt.�
In other words, there was no need to panic.�
No. 14 Wisconsin shrugged off a slow start to beat Indiana 69-58 on Tuesday night behind Dekker's 16 points.�
"I kept asking him to make sure that the people who bought the seats knew he was in the gym," Ryan said. "I thought it was a good suggestion."
Like the rest of the Badgers, Dekker struggled in the first half, when the Hoosiers (15-12, 5-9 Big Ten) held Wisconsin (23-5, 10-5) to its lowest point production of the season.�
But down 29-19 at halftime, the turnaround was immediate for the Badgers. They outscored Indiana 9-2 over the first 3 minutes of the second half as the shots started to fall.�
That was a sign of things to come as the Badgers shot 62 percent in the second half after hitting just 26 percent of their shots in the opening half. That included going 6 of 11 from 3-point range after making just 1 of 10 in the first half.�
"He kind of put it into me to play hard, play aggressive and when you do that, good things happen," said Dekker, who was 1-for-3 in the first half but hit all four of his shots in the second. He also hit all five of his free throws.�
Ben Brust, the Badgers' best outside threat, was 0-for-4 from behind the 3-point line in the first half. But when he followed a 3 by Dekker with two of his own to cut Indiana's lead to one, that seemed to ignite the Badgers. They later used a 22-5 run to put the game away.�
Traevon Jackson scored 14 points for the Badgers, Brust added 12, Josh Gasser 11 and Frank Kaminsky had 10 and nine rebounds.�
"I knew it was only a matter of time. I knew it was going to start, so I was like, can it just start now?" Brust said. "I'm still looking at that 3 for 10 (from the field). I know I can do better than that. But it's good to get a couple to go down. It ignited this team."
For Indiana, it was another blown double-digit lead. This one was more of a slow burn compared to losing to Penn State at home two weeks ago after leading by 12 points with just over 3 minutes to go.�
A few late scores helped Indiana finish a respectable 42 percent from the field for the game. That included nine points from Yogi Ferrell in the final 90 seconds.
But after Indiana's Stanford Robinson converted a three-point play with more than 14 minutes to go, the Hoosiers managed just five points over the next 11 minutes as the Badgers pulled away.�
Indiana coach Tom Crean said the Hoosiers over-helped on defense in the second half and didn't do as a good a job guarding the dribble.
"The bottom line is they got some good looks. They got hot and the basket starting looking pretty big for them," Crean said.�
Ferrell scored 24 points to lead Indiana, while freshman Noah Vonleh added 18.�
The Hoosiers average making 15 free throws a game, but only took three Tuesday, hitting two.�
Wisconsin, meanwhile, was 22 of 24 from the line, a disparity that was boosted by Indiana fouling in the final minutes. The Hoosiers were whistled for six fouls in the final 2 minutes that Wisconsin turned into 11 free throws on 12 attempts.�
Still, Wisconsin committed just seven fouls, compared to 20 for the Hoosiers, who had one player foul out and two finish with four fouls.�
Ryan said the Hoosiers took a lot of outside shots, while the Badgers were able to stay down defensively when Indiana attacked the rim.�
"I thought we were very disciplined on defense," Ryan said. "That's how you keep teams from the free-throw line."
The Badgers also took care of the ball, committing just three turnovers for the game, one in the second half as Indiana turned up the pressure down the stretch in an attempt to get back into the game.

Pfizer Inc.'s record of job cuts after acquisitions is now drawing heat from both sides of the Atlantic. U.S. and state politicians yesterday joined their U.K. counterparts in questioning the economic impact of the drugmaker's push to buy AstraZeneca Plc.
Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Delaware Governor Jack Markell said they fear the deal will lead to job losses in their states in a letter to Pfizer Chief Executive Officer Ian Read. The letter was released hours after Senator Carl Levin said he is writing legislation to block U.S. companies from shifting their legal addresses overseas to avoid U.S. taxes, a move Pfizer has proposed as part of the transaction.
The U.S. backlash follows Read's commitment to U.K. officials that Pfizer would keep at least 20 percent of the combined company's R&D workers and substantial manufacturing plants in the U.K. for at least five years. The governors wrote that they want some assurances as well.
"Despite our requests, we have received no corresponding assurances about retaining jobs and research and development in our states," O'Malley and Markell, both Democrats, wrote in a letter obtained by Bloomberg News. "Our concern is exacerbated by Pfizer's history of closing U.S. research facilities, including sites in Michigan and Illinois, after closing on previous corporate transactions."
While London-based AstraZeneca rejected Pfizer's $106 billion offer last week, the New York-based drugmaker has told U.K. officials it isn't ready to walk away from the deal. Read is set to speak about his proposal to buy AstraZeneca at two separate U.K. parliamentary committees next week.
Read may soon face government inquiries in the U.S. as well. Pfizer has said it plans to keep its operating headquarters in the U.S., even as it moves its legal address to the U.K. for the lower tax rate. In doing so, it would join at least 18 other companies that have said they are making or contemplating similar transactions since 2012, including Chiquita Brands International Inc.
Democrats in the U.S. Senate yesterday said they may push legislation that would block companies from shifting their legal addresses overseas to reduce their tax bills. Levin, a Democrat from Michigan, was joined by Senate Finance Chairman Ron Wyden in questioning the ability of companies to redomicile abroad in order to avoid U.S. taxes.
Wyden, an Oregon Democrat, told reporters in Washington he is considering quick action to prevent companies from "hollowing out" the U.S. tax base before lawmakers have the chance to consider broader tax changes.
'Quick Steps'
Wyden said in an opinion article published in the Wall Street Journal late yesterday that he wants to increase current requirements that U.S. companies reincorporating overseas have at least 20 percent of stock owned by their foreign partner.
"I am committed to raising this floor to at least 50 percent" starting immediately, Wyden wrote, adding that "corporations must understand that they won't profit from abandoning the U.S."
Democratic efforts in the Senate will likely face opposition from Republicans in the House. Representative Dave Camp, a Michigan Republican who is chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said any attempt to address tax inversions like the one Pfizer plans should only be done in a broader revamp of the tax code.
Earlier this year, Camp released proposed legislation that would cut the U.S. corporate tax rate to 25 percent from 35 percent and trim taxes on foreign income.
"I don't think this is something you can kind of one-off," Camp told reporters in the Capitol. "So I actually prefer an approach that really is actually going to create jobs and grow the economy as well."
Pfizer spokesman Andrew Topen didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment on Levin's proposed tax legislation. On April 28, Read said he didn't believe an acquisition allowing Pfizer to move its legal resident to the U.K. would "create a conflict with the interest of the U.S. government."
While the tax issue spurred concerns in Washington, job cuts were on the mind of the Maryland and Delaware governors. O'Malley and Markell told Read they want Pfizer to make some commitments to their states. Read has reportedly told British Prime Minister David Cameron that he would retain U.K. jobs.
Pfizer has a track record of cutting jobs and shuttering research labs following acquisitions. Since 2003, it has announced plans to close at least seven research centers and shed about 70,000 employees.
AstraZeneca employs 5,700 people in Maryland and Delaware, Markell, the Delaware governor, said in a telephone interview. The company's North America headquarters is located in Wilmington, Delaware, there is a research center in Gaithersburg, Maryland, and a manufacturing facility in Newark, Delaware.
O'Malley and Markell decided to send their letter and make it public after reading about assurances Read reportedly provided to the British government, Markell said in a telephone interview yesterday.
They asked Pfizer to tell them details on how many jobs may be cut or relocated from their states as a result of a deal, what future investment they might get in the states and the drugmaker's possible plans for splitting a merged company into different businesses.
"We have 2,600 very good people in Delaware and 3,100 in Maryland," Markell said by telephone. "My job is to do everything I can do to make sure they have continued career opportunities."
The governors didn't discuss the letter or operations with officials at AstraZeneca, Markell said. They asked Pfizer to respond promptly to their request, and Markell said he received a polite phone call from a senior leader at the company who said he would keep the governor informed of Pfizer's progress with the acquisition.
"We believe a potential combination with AstraZeneca would build a stronger company by bringing together our assets, people and scientific expertise to create vibrant businesses with new potential growth and opportunities to meet patients' needs," Mackay Jimeson, a company spokesman, wrote in an e-mail in response to questions. He said Pfizer officials have spoken to the governors and understand their concerns.
"Keeping us informed is very different from the kind of jobs they have committed to in the U.K.," Markell said.
Meanwhile, in the U.K., concerns about the deal continued to surface. The Wellcome Trust, a U.K. endowment with 16.5 billion pounds that funds medical research, said in a May 2 letter to the U.K. government that it was worried about Pfizer reducing research in that country.
"If AstraZeneca does merge with Pfizer or with any other company, we think it is essential that the R&D and manufacturing capabilities it offers to the U.K. is maintained, and, critically, that its investment in its major R&D facility in Cambridge is not lost," William Castell, chairman of the trust, and Jeremy Farrar, its president, wrote.

Remembering the winter that was
JANESVILLE—We all know it was a bad winter.
Not in terms of the amount of snow, but in terms of cold and the relentless drag of gray skies that signaled another round of snow, freezing rain, rain or some new cocktail including all of the above.
Although there's no index to measure weather-generated misery, this winter's severity can be measured by tangibles such as tons of road salt, water main breaks, plowing costs and even water usage.
That's not to mention school days. Most school districts racked up four or five days off because of severe weather. In a usual year, districts have one or two.
We asked public works officials for a winter round up from their communities.
--Janesville: Operations Director John Whitcomb reported that, taking into account the salt the city will need to buy and some other expected expenses, the departments is about $250,000 over-expended for 2014.
During an average winter, Whitcomb explained, the city tries to budget for seven plowing operations, 18 chemical spreading operations, three downtown snow removals and 4,000 tons of salt.
That's based on a winter with about 36 inches of snow.
The city also tracks the number of full and partial plowing operations and full and partial salting operations. For the three prior winters, the average number of all types of operations was 25. For the winter of 2013-2014, there were 52 operations.
Now consider this: In an average winter, Janesville's Water Utility staff respond to about 47 water main breaks. This year, that number rose to 123, an increase of 162 percent.
--Orfordville: A resident in the 600 block of West Beloit Street had his water lateral freeze three separate times, according to minutes from a March 24 village board meeting.
The first time it froze for one day; the second time, three days; the third time, 17 days.�
The resident told officials he had let the water run as instructed.
Orfordville Director of Public Works Karl Stuvengen told officials at the meeting that 12 other laterals had frozen in the village.
Residents kept their water on, resulting in a jump in water usage from 13.5 million gallons to 14.8 million gallons.� Plowing expenses went from $8,500 to $13,100.
--Beloit: The city's plowing expenses went from an average of $251,490 to $589,292. In a usual winter, about 30 water mains break. This winter, city workers dealt with 136 water main breaks or frozen laterals.
--Town of Beloit: The town saw its plowing expense more than double, going from $11,069 during an average winter to $27,395 this winter. The amount of road salt used went from 150 tons to 268 tons.
--Clinton: Roger Johnson has been Clinton public works director for 25 years.
In all those years, there has never been a water service "freeze up."� This winter, the village had five.
The department usually salts the streets but doesn't plow unless there's a significant snow.
�"We probably plowed three times as much this year," Johnson said. "It was too cold; the salt wouldn't work."
The department spent an estimated $8,700 in overtime for the 2013-2014 season. That compares to about $4,450 during 2012-2013.
-- Milton: Administrator Jerry Schuetz said the city has seen "anywhere between 25 percent to 30 percent increase in costs this winter, year to date, with November/December of 2014 left to go."
That includes a "modest increase" in this year's budget for sand and salt.
Milton had to deal with six water main breaks and six frozen laterals, which were a new issue, Schuetz said.
-- Walworth County: In an average winter, the county spends about $1.97 million on plowing. This year, that amount was $2.85 million.� The amount of road salt used went from 22,700 tons to 30,388 tons.
--Whitewater: Whitewater Streets and Parks Superintendent Chuck Nass said the city saw a 48 percent increase in spending compared to the last three years due to the high volume of plowing, sanding and staff hours.
The city asked residents to keep their water running to help prevent main breaks. In exchange, the city agreed to subsidize the cost of extra water.
It helped, but the city still had six more water main breaks than usual, Nass said.
It's been a long winter.
�"I am proud of my staff as well as the other city departments for the work we all have done over this past winter season," Nass said.
Gazette reporters Nick Crow, Marcia Nelesen, Andrea Anderson and Neil Johnson contributed to this story.

Florida wasn't done recruiting for its 2013 class, as it received a national letter of intent Thursday from punter Johnny Townsend.
Florida wasn't done recruiting for its 2013 class, as it received a national letter of intent Thursday from punter Johnny Townsend.
Townsend was an Ohio State commit up until he signed with the Gators. He is the eighth recruit who was flipped by UF coach Will Muschamp and his staff this year.
Townsend's parents, Clay and Susan, both graduated from Florida and his brother, Clay Jr., is currently a student at UF.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder from Orlando Boone High School is a U.S. Army All-American. Townsend was named to the 2012 Florida Class 8A All-State team. He averaged 44.6 yards per punt as a senior.
"You'd be hard-pressed to find a punter this year who is more talented than Johnny," Boone athletic director Doug Patterson said. "I can honestly say I haven't seen someone better than him at the high school level in my eight years here."
Although Florida punter Kyle Christy is entering his junior season and was a finalist for the Ray Guy Award in 2012, Patterson thinks Townsend will challenge him for the starting job.
"He's a very competitive kid, and he's not going step away from any competition regardless of who he's going against," Patterson said. "I know he will be in contention and both of them will be better for having Johnny there."
The Gators now have 29 signed players for this class and will add one more Friday when Bradenton Braden River offensive tackle Trevon Young is expected to sign.

74 comments post a comment
Predicting the future is always fraught with peril, but the visionaries featured here are boldly going where no one has gone before.
[EE Times is celebrating its 40th anniversary, with special articles to celebrate the innovators who made the electronics industry what it is today, as well as the visionaries who are taking it forward.]
Predicting the future is always fraught with peril, but the visionaries featured here are boldly going where no one has gone before.
To be sure, the personalities featured in this slideshow are not unique--in each category dozens of other pioneers could have been used in lieu of those chosen. Nevertheless, the pioneering vision and unflinching dedication of those featured in this slideshow serve as a shining example of how to do the future right.
Please forgive us for including two ringers who are not human: Wireless@MIT (which features a photo of the futuristic center where two MIT visionaries work) and Lucy an animated avatar which exemplifies a futuristic trend.
