I also needed a date-modified mode for rsync, so I don't think you missed something there.
I was downloading ISO files into various subdirectories of /home/me/isos and wanted to rsync occasionally, but didn't want to waste time on dirs I already had done.
I wrote a script that "touch"ed a file when it exited, to set the date it was last run. I don't have the code handy, but it went like:
$f = `find /home/me/isos -type f -iname '*iso' `; @imlist = split(/\n/,$f); $touchtime = -M ".touch_sem"; for $image (@imlist) { if ($touchtime <= -M "$image") { #rsync } } `touch .touch_sem `; [download]

I've had a really nice weekend, it makes me wonder what I used to spend my time doing, before I took up Cycling. Well actually I do recall, and best not go there again.
I dropped off a particulally high curb (I misjudged the height) which took off the bolt, that was holding the steering rods together!! Fortunately Gareth Dent (the main guy in the pic on the yellow bike) recognised, what was up. And quickly found a new bolt, and fixed it, in less than 5mins!! I am so glad that Miar, and Graham and Paul from PR, had checked out the CTC ride first, and even gone to the point of rerouting when they knew I was coming, because Ziggy, is a bit wide for some of the paths. So Thank you,
I need a new back grippy tyre, as well as a new left hand hydraulic brake, I could do with a service (enough about me!!) Ziggy needs looking at.
Hi everyone I met today, please get in touch. xxx

Fantastic Weekend :)

Hi Caroline! It was lovely to meet you on Sunday - you must have the most exotic fascinator in the land. I was so sorry to hear of your fall ... you were less than a few minutes from the Botanical Gardens. But never mind you did nearly the whole thing and we did have fun.
I hope that your torch bearing goes well next week - and fingers (etc) crossed thathe rain stays away.

Thanks for the direction.
Is this type of ply easy to work with? I've no experience with woodworking (or any xxxworking for that matter) at all. But I'm ready to give it a shot.
hi everyone. I would like to know how reliable is this company www.cnc modellabau. I want to buy one of these machines but I have no experience buying in online shopping and so I would like to know if this company is ok and that I will not have any problems when I transfer the money to them. That they will uphold their end of the bargain.

"I volunteer because it's a medium through which I can make a positive difference in the world," said Y57's May 2012 Youth of the Month Aliya Dossa. Aliya, Youth 4 Tap co-founder, Indian jazz dancer, photographer, and future UBC student has had quite the adventure in her high school career. Like many of our Youth of the Months, this enthusiastic and passionate girl seems to never have a free moment to just sit back and kick up her feet.
Along with her love of playing field hockey, singing and dancing, she also has a passion for traveling, learning new words and writing. Nonetheless she's also one of those rare few young people who like to pop open the newspaper and know what's going on in our world today. Perhaps this is because of her future ambitions of going into a career focused around human rights, environmental/social justice law and social enterprise.
To date, Aliya would consider her role as the co-founder of Youth 4 Tap to be her biggest contribution to society. It is "a movement designed to encourage and enable people to drink tap water instead of bottled water," she says. Along with two of her friends she started this up and has been able to save over 800,000 water bottles from ending up in landfills. They show us that it is important to start these things early. So instead of just inserting their bottle refill stations in large business they have decided to start with the installation in high schools to discourage people from drinking bottled water. Further on this, Aliya has had the wonderful opportunity of speaking about this exciting initiative and the notion of sustainable happiness at TEDxKidsBC. With such inspiration stemming from this talk Aliya can proudly say that inspired attendees from Calgary and Toronto started their own Youth 4 Tap clubs in their respective cities as well as schools. Although Aliya doesn't do this for the recognition it is so wonderful to see that her initiative matters and means something to others so much that it has now transcended the borders of BC and gone beyond!
Along with her above service Aliya also co-chairs a club called Students Helping Students through which they lead high school students to help elementary school students with their homework. Continuing her love for working with and helping children she has also been a Girl Guide Leader for the past couple of years.
Now with the little spare time that seems almost unfathomable in Aliya's non-stop life she also plays the alto saxophone in the Vancouver Ismaili Marching Band and has been doing so for the past 6 years! Let's not forget the Indian Jazz dancing and field hockey she's been a part of for the past 9 years. That means on top of leading and attending club meetings she also has to attend practices for her activities as well as performances! Where she gets the time is still the million dollar question-but she shows us that if you have a passion or many passions it is possible to be a part of everything and find balance.
When asked what advice she could give all our young readers and listeners out there Aliya recommended that "people discover their passions and then chase them!" On top of that she brilliantly advises us that the best approach to humanitarian work is to "think about what bothers you most about the world, your country, your province, your city, your community, your school, or even your neighborhood, and then take action to make a change! Through Aliya's words and experiences we learn that no action is too small. "Every single step contributes to the marathon humanitarians spend their lives running and so each step makes the destination a little bit closer, a little more possible, and a little more attainable." Wise words from an inspiring young woman!

Mike Clark Ends Campaign for Fifth Congressional District; Endorses Sen. Roraback
Written by Juliana Simone
May 17, 2012
Farmington – The former popular Farmington Town Council Chairman ended his bid for the Republican nomination for the Fifth Congressional District two days before the party State Convention selects a nominee. A former FBI and United Technologies employee who traveled the world, Clark understood foreign policy as well as municipal leadership where he successfully managed the town of Farmington for three terms before retiring from office this past fall to run for Congress. Clark is also known for investigating political corruption in Connecticut and helping put Republican Governor John Rowland behind bars where he served less than two years. Although respected by numerous peers for his many achievements and strong work ethic, Clark was unable to get much support outside of his town of Farmington in a district that consists of forty one towns and was already crowded with candidates. As he ended his campaign, he told press he was now supporting State Senator Andrew Roraback for the fifth district nomination with this to say:
"As the race moves on, I look forward to supporting the candidacy of State Senator Andrew Roraback. Andrew is the only candidate who possesses the key attributes necessary to win this race and return this seat to the Republican Party. He embodies the spirit and independence of the New England Republican. He has a record of victory in elections and has a substantive record of governance, which proves not only his Republican principles but his ability to build consensus and lead effectively."
Ameriborn News hopes to see Mr. Clark run for office again in 2014.

Dressing down to promote peace
Published by Kelly Elliott for Cestria Community Housing in Housing and also in Communities
Staff at a North East housing association are ditching their normal office attire for the day and turning up to work in whatever outfits they like in a bid to raise money for a local charity.
Employees at Cestria Community Housing, in Chester-le-Street, will donate £1 to take part in a 'dress down day' tomorrow, with all proceeds donated to Space for Peace.
The organisation works to reduce domestic abuse, bullying and antisocial behaviour across the region, as well as raising awareness of Peace One Day – a annual global day of ceasefire and non-violence held on 21st September each year.
Cestria's event has been organised by head of neighbourhoods Margaret Ferguson, who said: "Our work at Cestria is all about supporting the neighbourhoods in which we work so it makes perfect sense for us to team up with Space for Peace, which also works to ensure communities across the North East are safe, peaceful places to live.
"We are encouraging staff to come to work dressed in the clothes or colours that bring them peace, whether it is wellies, slippers or Jimmy Choos, footie shirts, jeans or tartan trews!"
Space for Peace works with partners in social housing, substance misuse, foster care and schools to reduce domestic abuse, bullying and antisocial behaviour in communities across the North East.
Paula McCormack of Space for Peace said: "Our aim is to raise awareness of peace in our local communities and enable individuals in our communities understand the meaning of peace and the impact it can have.
"We are passionate about bringing this awareness to the widest context possible working through the arts, culture, local authorities, public sector, commercial sector, education, health, prisons, entertainment, sport, leisure, social housing and charity and voluntary sectors."
Peace One Day was established in 1999 and since then has worked with heads of state and other influential people to bring the day into the awareness of the global population. Peace One Day's goal for 21st September 2012 is to see a 70% reduction in violence globally.

US Futures Bid On Strong China PMI; Europe Markets Offered On Weak China PMI
Nothing like a solid dose of schizophrenia to start the week, following Chinese PMI news which showed that once again the Chinese economy was both contracting and expanding at the same time. Sure, one can justify it by saying HSBC looks at smaller companies while the official data tracks larger SMEs but the reality is that just like in the US, so China has learned when all else fails, baffle with BS is the best strategy. As a result the media is attributing he drop in European stocks to the weaker than expected China PMI, while the green prints in US futures are due to... stronger than expected China PMI.
There were no split-personalities in Japan, however, where Mrs. Watanable's revulsion with recent euphoria led the Nikkei to tumble over 500 points, to closed down another 3.72%, and is now on the verge from a 20% bear market from its May 23 multi-year highs. The fact that the USDJPY reached within 3 pips of the Abenomics "fail" zone of USDJPY 100 didn't help overnight sentiment.
Following Friday's last minute plunge, US futures are pointing solidly higher for the time being: we can only assume Stevie Cohen hasn't started liquidating yet. Some point to stronger than expected European PMI as the reason for US strength, and sure enough, virtually across the board as if by magic Europe reported stronger than expected manufacturing PMIs. As Markit reports, "at a 15-month high of 48.3 in May, up from April's four-month low of 46.7, the seasonally adjusted Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI indicated the slowest pace of contraction since February 2012. Business conditions still deteriorated overall, however, with the current downturn extended to a twenty-second month."
Broken down by nation, Here is hope this 15 month 48.3 Mfg PMI was calculated:
- Germany 49.4 (flash 49.0) 3-month high, Last 49.0
- Netherlands 48.7 3-month high,
- Austria 48.2 3-month high,
- Spain 48.1 24-month high, Last 44.7
- Italy 47.3 4-month high, Exp. 46.2
- France 46.4 (flash 45.5) 13-month high, Last 45.5
- Greece 45.3 23-month high, Last 45.0
And visually:
Also, let's not forget that Spain PM has essentially assured his economic data will be fudged going forward, promising stronger unemployment figures in the days to come, which one can only assume means the BLS "strategic truth department" has opened a Madrid office. We can only hope that when fudging its labor data, Spain remembers to also adjust its matching NPL data accordingly.
This is just the start of a very busy week. As Deutsche recaps, stand by for a bumper couple of days as markets get ready for an eventful week of US data. Indeed we'll kick off with today's ISM report and finish it all off with Friday's payrolls print. We also have a handful of Fed speeches throughout the week as well as the latest Beige Book on Wednesday. Given the rise in rates volatility and focus on the US government bond market these will clearly be closely watched as potential tone-setters of any Fed "taper on, taper off" discussions. Across the Atlantic, the focus will be on the ECB and BoE policy meetings. Markets are expecting no policy changes from either central bank and a negative deposit rate is not DB economists' base case. That said there will still be particular attention paid to Draghi's post-meeting press conference for any mention of nonstandard policies. Notably, the BoE meeting will be the last for Governor Mervyn King before he retires at the end of June. We'll preview more of the week ahead below together with our usual Asset Performance Review for the month of May.
The balance of highlights in bulletin format courtesy of Bloomberg:

- AUD/USD up most in more than a week
- Treasuries fall for second day; 10Y yield +3bps to 2.157% before May non-farm payrolls this week, est. 165K vs previous 165K
- Asia stocks drop for 3rd straight day, led by Nikkei, as improving U.S. data adds to concern of Fed scaling back QE
SocGen covers today's macro highlights:
The month of June in 2011 and 2012 proved a vintage one for the EUR as it logged tidy gains vs most of its principal counterparts including the USD, but the likelihood of a 'three-peat' will not come across much support and belief from the fx community this time around, we suspect.
We don't think the ECB is up to something at this week's council meeting, but there is no escaping from the dovish headlines, with the latest coming from Mr Visco who reaffirmed on Friday that the ECB is ready to do what is necessary. If anything, the data has improved a tad since the May meeting and the extension of deficit deadlines for EU member states and lifting of the EDP may not count on the full support of Frankfurt. The central bank has made fiscal consolidation a focal point of its communication strategy over the last decade and may not be too impressed at how the EC has yielded to EU governments. At the margin this makes the ECB less inclined to send a particularly dovish message (inflation crept up too in May for the first time in eight months), and so the EUR continues to be well placed to consolidate its positions vs carry currencies like the AUD and NZD. The flip side of the coin is that excess liquidity in the eurozone continues to diminish after the latest combined LTRO1 and two repayments of EUR3.081bn are taken into account, but no matter what the ECB says on Thursday, of course US payrolls and the Fed are the big elephants in this week's room. Peripheral bond yields are putting in a tentative bottom whilst EU swaps closed the week on Friday near two month-highs.
A strong manufacturing PMI from the US today will set the tone for the week and could heap more pressure on bonds (and EM FX), prompting perhaps a less violent but steady return towards last week's lows (yield and swap highs). Technically the picture continues to look ominous for yields (Chart Alert), and confirmation that last week's spike was not a flash in the pan should put the Dollar index (DXY) back in the ascendency and end two consecutive weeks of losses. The DXY has not declined for three weeks in succession since September last year.
* * *
Finally, the full overnight summary from Deutsche's Jim Reid
Turning to markets firstly, the far-from-constructive end to the US session on Friday (S&P 500 -1.43%) is providing a somewhat mixed backdrop for risk assets
overnight. The Nikkei is leading the region's losses (--2.9%) and currently stands about 13% lower than its mid-May cyclical peak. On a more positive note, the
Shanghai Composite (+0.3%) and Hang Seng (+0.3%) are both trading a touch firmer helped by the weekend's surprisingly robust official manufacturing PMI reading in China (50.8 in May vs 50.0 expected). The data comes after a sub-50 HSBC flash Chinese manufacturing PMI reading published on 23rd May, which declined from 50.4 in April to 49.6 (and which has subsequently been revised down to 49.2 overnight). Nevertheless, DB's Chief China economist notes the sampling differences between the official and HSBC survey and believes that the better-than-expected official manufacturing PMI points to an end of recent inventory destocking. He reiterates his GDP growth forecast of 7.7% yoy in Q2 before recovering to 7.8% in Q3 and 8.2% in Q4. In the fixed income space, Asian IG credit is generally trading about 2-3bp wider, continuing the theme of EM weakness which saw the South African Rand and Polish Zloty lose 0.5% and 0.4% on Friday. Relative to the big intraday move in UST yields on Friday (range: 2.064%-2.146%), the 10-year yield is relatively steady overnight at 2.145% or nearly 2bp higher.
In terms of weekend news flow, the headlines were relatively thin, though comments from Draghi overnight have garnered some attention. In a text of speech prepared for the IMF Conference held today in Shanghai, the ECB president defended the OMT programme by saying that "virtually all economic agents, including corporations, banks and households" were benefitting from the calm that had returned to financial markets since August 2012. He also deflected criticism that OMT had replaced the need for fiscal consolidation or would reintroduce excessive compression of Euro area bond yield spreads. Draghi added that OMTs are designed to keep government bond yields just below 'panic' levels, not to bring them down to levels that would somehow help government solvency. These comments come ahead of a court hearing which will hear objections to the OMT on June 11-12, to be held in Germany's Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe.
Taking a slightly closer look at this week's data flow, the market consensus for US payrolls is for a +165k and +175k gain in the headline and private payrolls respectively. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 7.5%. Outside of payrolls, markets are also expecting the ISM manufacturing headline to remain unchanged at 50.7. Elsewhere we also have April's US trade report on Tuesday, factory orders and ADP employment report both on Wednesday. In Euroland, May's PMI manufacturing reports will be the main highlight today. The final revisions to the Euroarea reading as well as the first breakdown of Spain's and Italy's print will be the focus. That aside we also have Spanish unemployment on Tuesday, Euroarea Q1 GDP revisions, retail sales and services PMIs on Wednesday, German factory orders on Thursday, and German/French trade reports on Friday. In Asia, Japan's PM is likely to outline his structural reform policies in a speech on Wednesday. China's May trade report is scheduled for Saturday. On the political front, President Obama will be hosting two days of talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in California on Friday – trade, North Korea and Asian regional security are expected to top the agenda.

lets see how long it takes for this ramp to fail. Only to be reminded after lunch that Tomorrow is Tuesday.
And a 3bln POMO tuesday at that. Might just do a bit of schizophrenic HFT rangebound until ADP/payrolls, even with Nikkei moving 40+ percent the VIX looks expensive..
That $5B POMO worked well. Resist the easy impulse to think that all their past manuevers will keep playing out the same way. The game has changed and the big rats are jumping ship. Overnight green turning red during open hours, BTFD that sputters and fails. Bounces off support that immediately fall back down to support. When major support breaks it will drop fast. That's my guess for the new, new normal.
Did I say short squeeze? It's going to be an ugly June. The baffle with b/s numbers out of Europe were humorous at best.
Keep your powder dry folks, it's gonna be a long week.
Yada yada, bla bla bla. And the media band played on as the great ships of state quietly slipped beneath the waves and down into the black abyss.
2.17 on the 10yr. it will continue to pour cold water on the mkt.
By the way. Regarding SAC...why is it that they all have to liquidate? How come these rich folk can't just acat their positions over in kind to the next superstar insider trader?
They want to send a false signal of disgust so the muppets won't realize they knew the insider trading was going on all the time. Otherwise, the next thing you know some pesky regulator or DOJ minion trying to actually do their job will start saying words like clawback and fine right in the middle of a conference or five star restaurant.
That superstar trader did'nt start out as an A student, only ended up as one. That's how.
Just in case you are asking a serious question.......they don't ACAT or transfer over their 'position' because they don't have a position. Meaning they don't own individual positions as one would have in a traditional brokerage account. Their money is commingled with all the other money invested with SAC. There may be different accounts based upon investing style but not individual stocks or bonds held in different names.
Make that 2.19 on the 10yr now
This is a desperate ramp up we see here this morning cause all of Wall Street and

text: Federal Direct Loan Program Loan Proration – Federal regulations require that when a student is enrolled in a program that is one academic year or more in length, but is in a remaining period of study that is shorter than a full academic year, the loan amount must be prorated. Students who graduate in Summer Session or Fall term will have their Federal Direct Loans prorated during their final term of study. The loan limit proration determines the maximum loan amount that a student may borrow for the final term of study. Prorating loan limits for remaining period of study shorter than a full academic year Calculating annual loan limits – the annual limit for the student's grade level is multiplied by the following fraction to determine the prorated loan limit Semester hours enrolled in program / Semester hours in academic year Academic Year 24 semester hoursStep #1 – Convert the fraction based on credit hours enrolled to a decimal Step #2 – Multiply the decimal by the student's undergraduate loan maximum Step #3 – Calculate subsidized and unsubsidized separately Example: Student is enrolled in 6 credit hours and will graduate at end of fall term with a Bachelor's Degree 6/24 X $5,500 = $1,375 Subsidized 6/24 X $2,000 = $ 500 Unsubsidized You must calculate the unsubsidized separately in order to determine the maximum for each program. In this example, the student can receive a total of $1,875; however, the maximum subsidized amount is $1,375. |

Rock Hall Harbor has been a watermen's harbor from it conception. When the striped bass moratorium was in effect, a large amount of waterfront property was sold to developers for marinas and condominiums.
Rock Hall Harbor still is the port for the local fishermen, crabbers, oystermen, clammers, charterboats plus the hundreds of sail and power pleasure boats. There are many bed and breakfasts, fine restaurants in the area and the finest fresh Maryland seafood you'll find anywhere!

10 Things We Learned from the Recession
- 1. Canadians Woke Up to Our Own Debt Nightmare.
Enough of our smug superiority. We're up to our proverbial eyeballs in red ink, and recently surpassed Americans in household debt levels. So no more gloating over our more prudent spending habits and money management skills: we have become rabid consumers just like our neighbours to the south. How to deal?
- 2. Shopping Flyers Are Your Friend.
It always pays to shop around. Never leave home on a shopping trip without consulting the flyers. We've made it easy by providing a list of weekly store flyers across the country (let us know if we're missing your favourites and we'll add them).
- 3. Only Fools Go Shopping Without Checking for Coupons.
Always google for coupons - cause you never know! It's easy, it's online, and there's no reason not to do it (unless you lack a printer, in which case, it's probably worth getting one). People save hundreds of dollars annually using coupons, and you can too, with a little advance planning. Get tips from a super shopper and start spending more wisely.
- 4. Our Homes are not Piggy Banks or Retirement Funds.
You can't rely on a hot housing market to bolster your net worth: it can all come tumbling down, as it did in the US and as it had in the past here at home. Remember property values in the late 80's? Don't put all your eggs in one basket, be it stocks, real estate or gold bricks. All of these pillars of investment are worth having in your portfolio: just make sure you've spread your risk by holding a bit of each. No one knows the magic formula, perhaps because there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to financial planning. But a wise man once said don't let any one type of investment become more than half of your total portfolio.
- 5. Bartering is the New Black.
The truly smart spenders are those who avoid it at all costs. That might mean using loyalty points to buy items instead of cash, sharing items with colleagues and friends, or bartering with others who have what you need, in exchange for what they need. I'll watch your house and walk your dogs while you're away if you do my taxes in April. The corporate world barters relentlessly and so should we all.
- 7. No Such Thing as Job Security.
Suffice to say that we are now pretty comfortable with the idea that there are no jobs-for-life anymore, and employees have to stay on top of their careers, as no one else will do it for them. Changing jobs, becoming self-employed, starting a small business - thousands of Canadians have made these changes in the past few years, and more of us will be forced to do the same in the future. Change can be good, but only if Canadians learn to keep an eye on their retirement savings and manage it wisely, or be prepared to work well into your golden years. A big fat company pension is a real rarity these days, so you need to look out for yourself. And for those of us starting out, or wanting a career change, here are the 11 most promising jobs for 2011.
- 6. Vacations are a State of Mind.
The idea of a staycation was brand new in 2008. Fast forward four years and we all understand how rejuvenating a break can be, even if you take it in your own backyard. Retiring to a hotel in your own city or a resort an hour's drive away, treating yourself to a few spa treatments or a massage is just as relaxing as flying to New York to do it. And it goes without saying, it's a lot cheaper - especially when you use coupons and find deals on sites like Travelzoo and Jaunt.ca.
- 8. TFSAs Can be Your New Best Friend.
Confusing, or what? When the federal government introduced tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) little did they know how confusing they would appear to be to most of us. There's no doubt they are useful instruments for many of us, but for some of us, RRSPs make more sense. The best thing to do is to read up on how TFSAs can fit into your financial life, or consult a financial manager (if you have one) or a knowledgeble person at a bank or financial institution who can help you make the right choice.
- 9. Learning to Live Frugally.
That means using your public library instead of buying books, trading your fancy lunch for a brown bag special, investing in your own health by taking a walk or jogging instead of joining an expensive fitness club. Heed the 10 Commandments of Frugal Living, and you will be better off by this time next year - guaranteed. And read about others who've seen the light - their frugal tips will save you a bundle too.
- 10. Ask for Discounts Everywhere.
There's no shame in asking. And many retailers are willing to give you a break when times are tough. Sometimes you just need to formulate your request in a way that allows them to bend the rules, in your favour of course.

Hibris, a Drosophila Nephrin Homolog, Is Required for Presenilin-Mediated Notch and APP-like Cleavages
Developmental Cell, Volume 23, Issue 1, 17 July 2012, Pages 82-96
Jaskirat Singh and Marek Mlodzik
SummaryDrosophila Hibris (Hbs), a member of the Nephrin Immunoglobulin Super Family, has been implicated in myogenesis and eye patterning. Here, we uncover a role of Hbs in Notch (N) signaling and γ-secretase processing. Loss of hbs results in classical N-signaling-associated phenotypes in Drosophila, including eye patterning, wing margin, and sensory organ specification defects. In particular, hbs mutant larvae display altered γ-secretase-dependent Notch proteolytic processing. Hbs also interacts molecularly and genetically with Presenilin (Psn) and other components of the γ-secretase complex. This Hbs function appears conserved, as mammalian Nephrin also promotes N signaling in mammalian cells. Our data suggest that Hbs is required for Psn maturation. Consistent with its role in Psn processing, Hbs genetically interacts with the Drosophila β-amyloid protein precursor-like (Appl) protein, the homolog of mammalian APP, the cleavage of which is associated with Alzheimer's disease. Thus, Hbs/Nephrin appear to share a general requirement in Psn/γ-secretase regulation and associated processes.

Drosophila HOPS and AP-3 Complex Genes Are Required for a Deltex-Regulated Activation of Notch in the Endosomal Trafficking Pathway
Developmental Cell, Volume 15, Issue 5, 11 November 2008, Pages 762-772
Marian Wilkin, Pajaree Tongngok, Nicole Gensch, Sylvaine Clemence, Masato Motoki, Kenta Yamada, Kazuya Hori, Maiko Taniguchi-Kanai, Emily Franklin, Kenji Matsuno and Martin Baron
SummaryDSL ligands promote proteolysis of the Notch receptor, to release active Notch intracellular domain (NICD). Conversely, the E3 ubiquitin ligase Deltex can activate ligand-independent Notch proteolysis and signaling. Here we show that Deltex effects require endocytic trafficking by HOPS and AP-3 complexes. Our data suggest that Deltex shunts Notch into an endocytic pathway with two possible endpoints. If Notch transits into the lysosome lumen, it is degraded. However, if HOPS and AP-3 deliver Notch to the limiting membrane of the lysosome, degradation of the Notch extracellular domain allows subsequent Presenilin-mediated release of NICD. This model accounts for positive and negative regulatory effects of Deltex in vivo. Indeed, we uncover HOPS/AP-3 contributions to Notch signaling during Drosophila midline formation and neurogenesis. We discuss ways in which these endocytic pathways may modulate ligand-dependent and -independent events, as a mechanism that can potentiate Notch signaling or dampen noise in the signaling network.

aph-1 and pen-2 Are Required for Notch Pathway Signaling, γ-Secretase Cleavage of βAPP, and Presenilin Protein Accumulation
Developmental Cell, Volume 3, Issue 1, 1 July 2002, Pages 85-97

SummaryPresenilins are components of the γ-secretase protein complex that mediates intramembranous cleavage of βAPP and Notch proteins. A C. elegans genetic screen revealed two genes, aph-1 and pen-2, encoding multipass transmembrane proteins, that interact strongly with sel-12/presenilin and aph-2/nicastrin. Human aph-1 and pen-2 partially rescue the C. elegans mutant phenotypes, demonstrating conserved functions. The human genes must be provided together to rescue the mutant phenotypes, and the inclusion of presenilin-1 improves rescue, suggesting that they interact closely with each other and with presenilin. RNAi-mediated inactivation of aph-1, pen-2, or nicastrin in cultured Drosophila cells reduces γ-secretase cleavage of βAPP and Notch substrates and reduces the levels of processed presenilin. aph-1 and pen-2, like nicastrin, are required for the activity and accumulation of γ-secretase.

Add/View Comments (0)Drosophila Nicastrin Is Essential for the Intramembranous Cleavage of Notch
Hernán López-Schier and Daniel St Johnston*,
Correspondence: Daniel St Johnston, +44 1223 334 088 (phone), +44 1223 334 089 (fax)Abstract
- The catalytic subunit of γ-secretase is thought to be Presenilin, which is required for both the cleavage of APP and in the processing of Notch. Presenilin is found in a multisubunit complex that also contains Nicastrin. Nicastrin has been implicated in APP processing, but its role in Notch signaling remains unclear. Here we show that Drosophila Nicastrin is required for Notch signaling, and acts specifically at the S3 cleavage step. Partially processed Notch accumulates apically in nicastrin and presenilin mutant follicle cells. nicastrin and presenilin mutations also disrupt the spectrin cytoskeleton, suggesting that the γ-secretase complex has another function in Drosophila in addition to its role in processing Notch and APP.

National Legislation
Updated 1 December 2013
- Nationwide #1 • On 16 March 2011, the proposed RFMA (Respect-for-Marriage Act) was introduced as House #1116 into the House of Representatives, and as Senate #598 into the Senate, but that bill died. On 26 June 2013, the bill was reintroduced as House #2523 with 161 sponsors/co-sponsors (57 more are needed), and as Senate #1236 with 41 sponsors/co-sponsors (19 more are needed). The RFMA would repeal the remaining part of the DOMA (Defense-of-Marriage Act), so that states could no longer ignore legal, same-gender marriages from other states, and it would create a uniform federal law for recognizing couples regardless of where they were married or where they now live. Lawmakers favoring it include 171 Representatives (169 Democrats, 2 Republicans) and 43 Senators (41 Democrats, 2 Republicans). Based on history, chance of enactment is 5-6%.
- Nationwide #2 • On 14 February 2013, House Armed Services Committee Ranking Member Adam Smith (D-WA) and Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) re-introduced into Congress the Charlie Morgan MSET (Military Spouses Equal Treatment) Act of 2013 (Senate #373, House #683), which would expand the definition of "spouse" in federal laws (U.S. Code, Titles 10, 32, 37, 38) to guarantee over 70 benefits and ensure equal pay, recognition, and support for all LGB military personnel, veterans, and spouses. Service Members Legal Defense Network filed suit in October 2011 (McLaughlin v. Panetta) to accomplish the same result (see Lawsuits). On 24 July 2013, the U.S. Senate Veteran's Affairs Committee approved the legislation. Based on history, chance of enactment is 20%.
- Nationwide #3, #4, #5, #6 • On 11 August 2012, the Democratic Party's Platform Committee unanimously approved language supporting: (3) marriage equality, (4) immigration/naturalization for binational families, (5) an Employment Non-Discrimination Act (including sexual orientation and gender identity), and (6) protection against bullying for LGBT youth. These resolutions were ratified at the September 2012 national convention in Charlotte, NC.
Nationwide #7, #8, #9, #10, #11, #12, #13, #14, #15 • On 28 August 2012, the Republican Party's Platform was ratified during its national convention, with the largest number of planks for anti-LGBT laws ever adopted: (7) a constitutional amendment banning same-gender couples; (8) federal inheritance taxes charged only to same-gender spouses; (9) human rights only as defined in the Christian Bible but never granted to LGBT people; (10) civilian federal employee family benefits denied to LGBT families; (11) military/veteran pay cut up to 40% for every soldier with a same-gender spouse; (12) "religious freedom" for other people used as the excuse to deny human/civil rights to LGBT people; (13) continued discrimination against American Boy Scouts, volunteers, and employees; (14) discrimination by adoption agencies allowed against LGBT couples; and (15) immigration allowed for opposite-gender spouses, but denied to same-gender spouses.
Nationwide #16 • On 2 May 2013, the ECDAFA (Every Child Deserves A Family Act) (Senate #1069, House #2028) was re-introduced, a law which would prohibit discrimination in adoption/foster-care based on parents' marital status, sexual orientation, and/or gender identity, and/or child's sexual orientation and/or gender identity. Lawmakers in favor include 12 Senators (11 Democrats, 1 Independent). The bill is supported by a wide variety of professional organizations in child welfare, medicine, psychology, public health, and civil rights. Over 104,000 children are awaiting adoption, but LGBT individuals and couples still face discrimination in over 30 states. Lawmakers favoring it include 12 Senators (11 Democrats, 1 Independent) and 80 Representatives (79 Democrats, 1 Independent). Based on history, chance of enactment is 1%.
Nationwide #18 • On 14 April 2011, the Uniting American Families Act (UAFA) was introduced (House #1537, Senate #821), after having been proposed in every Congress since 2000. The bill would allow the nation's 646,464 same-gender couples to immigrate and obtain permanent resident status on the same basis as opposite-gender couples. On 27 September 2012, the Homeland Security Department officially began recognizing LGBT immigrants as having a family whenever they have a U.S. spouse or a long-term same-gender partner. That family relationship is a fundamental factor when the Department makes immigration decisions. On 5 February 2013, the Act was reintroduced (House 519, Senate 296). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 2%.
Nationwide #19 • On 20 September 2012, U.S. Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) introduced legislation (S. 3575) to make the OAA (Older Americans Act of 1965) LGBT-inclusive, which would help reduce rates of LGBT poverty/homelessness. The bill died in Committee.
Nationwide #20 • On 28 February 2013, U.S. Representative Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) introduced House #914, the MRFPA (Military Religious Freedom Protection Act), which would: (a) exempt military personnel from responsibility for any anti-LGBT actions, (b) allow chaplains to refuse service to LGBT armed forces personnel, and (c) prohibit same-gender ceremonies on military bases. Based on history, the chance of enactment is 0%.
Nationwide #21 • On April 19 and 22, the U.S. Senate held hearings on an 844-page immigration bill, the BSEOIMA (Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act), (Senate #744), which still did not include LGBT binational couples. On 30 April, Republican Senator Marco Rubio said that if LGBT equality gets added, Republicans will kill the entire bill, but Democratic Senator Leahy dismissed Rubio's threat and said he would add both amendments. On 4 May 2013, President Obama announced that LGBT immigration equality is "the right thing to do." On 7 May 2013, U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced 2 committee amendments to the proposed comprehensive immigration reform law. They would: (1) let LGBT Americans sponsor foreign permanent partners for U.S. residency; and (2) treat lawfully married bi-national same-gender couples the same as mixed-gender couples. On 21 May 2013, Republican leaders forced the deletion of LGBT people from the immigration reform bill before the bill was even released from the Senate Judiciary Committee. On 27 June 2013, the Senate passed the bill, 68 to 32. Restoring fairness toward LGBT people is certainly impossible in the Republican-controlled House. Based on history, chance of enactment is 43%.
Nationwide #22 • On 28 June 2013, U.S. Representative Tim Huelskamp (R-KS) introduced House Joint Resolution 51, a measure to ban same-gender civil marriage in both the U.S. Constitution and every state constitution. To succeed, the proposal requires approval from 289 Representatives, 66 Senators, and 38 states. A similar proposal failed in 2006, with only 236 of the required 289 Representative votes, and the 2013 proposal is expected to fail by an even wider margin: of 435 Representatives, 185 already oppose the amendment, leaving only 250 supporting it (39 too few); of 100 Senators, 54 already oppose it, leaving only 46 supporting it (20 too few). Despite its inability to pass, H. J. Res. 51 is heavily promoted by anti-equality groups as a fund-raising ploy. As of 26 September 2013, the resolution has 55 supporters (54 Republicans, 1 Democrat). Based on history, chance of enactment is 0%.
Nationwide #23 • On 25 July 2013, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved the Jury Access Act (Senate #38), part of a major financial services appropriations bill, which prevents discrimination toward LGBT people based on sexual orientation and/or gender identity during the jury selection process. Lawmakers in favor include 3 Senators (2 Democrats, 1 Republican). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 1%.
Nationwide #24 • On 2 August 2013, U.S. Representative Linda Sánchez (D-CA) and 109 co-sponsors introduced the Social Security Equality Act of 2013 (House #3050, which would provide spouse, survivor, and death benefits to same-gender couples who are not legally married but whose relationships are legally recognized in the state where they live (currently CA, DE, HI, IL, NV, NJ, OR, and RI). Lawmakes in favor include 112 Representatives (all Democrats). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 0%.
Nationwide #25 • On 19 September 2013, U.S. Representative Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) and 60 co-sponsors introduced the MRFA (Marriage and Religious Freedom Act), which would legalize discrimination against LGBT people in 5 ways: (1) allow federal workers refuse to serve same-gender couples; (2) allow federally-funded social service programs to refuse service to LGBT people overall; (3) allow employers to deny workers leave to care for ill same-gender spouses; (4) allow individuals to use religion as an excuse to break federal laws; and (5) allow federal funded organizations to discriminate against anyone who has had sexual relations outside of a mixed-gender marriage. Lawmakers in favor include 63 Representatives (61 Republicans, 2 Democrats). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 1%.
Nationwide #26 • On 18 September 2013, the U.S. Labor Department announced that legally married same-gender couples have all the same federal rights (pensions, 401(k) retirement plans, health insurance, etc.) as other married couples, regardless of their state of residence.
Nationwide #27 • On 19 September 2013, U.S. Senators and Representatives introduced the DPBO (Domestic Partnership Benefits and Obligations Act of 2013), (Senate #1529, House #3135), which would expand federal civilian employee spouse benefits to include same-gender domestic partners, regardless of state of residence. Lawmakers in favor include 55 Representatives (53 Democrat, 2 Republican) and 2 Senators (1 Democrat, 1 Republican). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 2-3%.
Nationwide #28 • On 30 September 2013, U.S. Representative Adam Smith (D-Washington) and Senator Carl Levin (D-Michigan), the top Democrats on the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, told the U.S. Department of Defense to ensure that military spouse benefits are issued to all armed forces personnel in same-gender civil marriages, including states which have denied some benefits applications, such as IN, LA, MS, OK, SC, and TX.
Nationwide #29 • On 20 November 2013, U.S. Representative Tim Walz (D-MN) introduced the Protecting the Freedoms and Benefits for All Veterans Act (H.R. #3569), which would ensure that LGBT veterans and families are treated equally for Title 38 § 103(c) survivor benefits (death pension, life insurance, educational assistance, bereavement counselling, spouse benefits, flag honors, etc.). Lawmakers favoring it include 4 Representatives (2 Democrats, 2 Republicans). Based on history, the chance of enactment is 2%.

These were some illustrations i worked on at the back end of 2008 and have only just got them back. They are mainly inspired by events witnessed at Spurn Bird Observatory. I'm happy with some of the results but some i didn't feel happy with either for the inaccuracy of the bird (one of the Pochards), colour reproduction (Black Redstart & Robin )or colours themselves (Mistle Thrush). I still struggle with applying colour and find it hard to achieve the right colour balance without jeopardising the light in the painting or the bird itself . However irrespective of this i love the on going up and downs that come with bird illustration (especially in watercolours) and there is nothing that would stop me painting because when your happy with a finished piece there is no better feeling in the world!

Ray Scally (NEW WEBSITE)
This was a piece of artwork i was sent by Ray Scally as a Christmas present. I am sure you will agree that its a fantastic piece of work and is one i will cherish. Not only is the light in the drawing excellent but it also captures the feeling of a Collared Pratincole fantastically which is very hard to do when such an energetic bird as a pratincole is stationary. I hope on seeing this you go immediately to his NEW WEBSITE and check out his other Brilliant work at http://www.rayscally.co.uk
I'm sure like me it will be added to your Favourites instantaneously!
Thanks Once Again Ray
