Myosin-II-Mediated Directional Migration of Dictyostelium Cells in Response to Cyclic Stretching of Substratum Biophysical Journal, Volume 104, Issue 4, 19 February 2013, Pages 748-758 Yoshiaki Iwadate, Chika Okimura, Katsuya Sato, Yuta Nakashima, Masatsune Tsujioka and Kazuyuki Minami Abstract Living cells are constantly subjected to various mechanical stimulations, such as shear flow, osmotic pressure, and hardness of substratum. They must sense the mechanical aspects of their environment and respond appropriately for proper cell function. Cells adhering to substrata must receive and respond to mechanical stimuli from the substrata to decide their shape and/or migrating direction. In response to cyclic stretching of the elastic substratum, intracellular stress fibers in fibroblasts and endothelial, osteosarcoma, and smooth muscle cells are rearranged perpendicular to the stretching direction, and the shape of those cells becomes extended in this new direction. In the case of migrating Dictyostelium cells, cyclic stretching regulates the direction of migration, and not the shape, of the cell. The cells migrate in a direction perpendicular to that of the stretching. However, the molecular mechanisms that induce the directional migration remain unknown. Here, using a microstretching device, we recorded green fluorescent protein (GFP)-myosin-II dynamics in Dictyostelium cells on an elastic substratum under cyclic stretching. Repeated stretching induced myosin II localization equally on both stretching sides in the cells. Although myosin-II-null cells migrated randomly, myosin-II-null cells expressing a variant of myosin II that cannot hydrolyze ATP migrated perpendicular to the stretching. These results indicate that Dictyostelium cells accumulate myosin II at the portion of the cell where a large strain is received and migrate in a direction other than that of the portion where myosin II accumulated. This polarity generation for migration does not require the contraction of actomyosin. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (1267 kb) |
The Role of Stretching in Slow Axonal Transport Biophysical Journal, Volume 100, Issue 2, 19 January 2011, Pages 351-360 Matthew O'Toole and Kyle E. Miller Abstract Axonal stretching is linked to rapid rates of axonal elongation. Yet the impact of stretching on elongation and slow axonal transport is unclear. Here, we develop a mathematical model of slow axonal transport that incorporates the rate of axonal elongation, protein half-life, protein density, adhesion strength, and axonal viscosity to quantify the effects of axonal stretching. We find that under conditions where the axon (or nerve) is free of a substrate and lengthens at rapid rates (>4 mm day−1), stretching can account for almost 50% of total anterograde axonal transport. These results suggest that it is possible to accelerate elongation and transport simultaneously by increasing either the axon's susceptibility to stretching or the forces that induce stretching. To our knowledge, this work is the first to incorporate the effects of stretching in a model of slow axonal transport. It has relevance to our understanding of neurite outgrowth during development and peripheral nerve regeneration after trauma, and hence to the development of treatments for spinal cord injury.

Primary Conformation Change in Bacteriorhodopsin on Photoexcitation Biophysical Journal, Volume 96, Issue 4, 18 February 2009, Pages 1447-1461 Atsushi Yabushita and Takayoshi Kobayashi Abstract Ultrafast dynamics of bacteriorhodopsin (bR) has been extensively studied experimentally and theoretically. However, there are several contradictory results reported, indicating that its detailed dynamics and initial process have not yet been fully clarified. In this work, changes in the amplitude and phase of molecular vibration in the isomerization process of bR were real-time probed simultaneously at 128 different wavelengths through intensity modulation of the electronic transition. Systematic information on the transient change in continuous spectrum extending from 505 nm (2.45 eV) to 675 nm (1.84 eV) showed different dynamics in each spectral region reflecting the difference in the excited states and intermediates dominating the dynamics during the photoisomerization. Careful analysis of the transient spectral changes and spectrograms calculated from the vibrational real-time traces elucidated that the primary event just after photoexcitation is the deformation of the retinal configuration, which decays within 30 fs near the C=N bond in the protonated Schiff base. The intensity of C=N stretching mode starts to decrease before the initiation of the frequency modulation of the C=C stretching mode. The C=C stretching mode frequency was modulated by a coupled torsion around the C13=C14 bond, leading to the photoisomerization around the bond. This study clarified the dynamics of the C=N and C=C stretching modes working as key vibration modes in the photoisomerization of bR. Furthermore, we have elucidated the modulation and decay dynamics of the C=C stretching mode in the photoreaction starting from H (Franck-Condon excited state) followed by I (twisted excited), and J (first intermediate) states.

Red cells which adhere to a surface in a parallel plate flow channel are stretched when acted on by a fluid shear stress. Three types of stretching are studied: whole cell stretching, the stretching of a red cell evagination, and tether (long, thin membrane process) stretching. In addition, the stretching of a large scale model cell attached to a surface is studied in a Couette flow channel. The results indicate that the uniaxial stretching of red cell membrane can be described by a linear stress-strain relationship. Simple theories developed from free body diagrams permit the calculation of a value for the modulus of elasticity of cell membrane in each of the three experiments. In all cases the value for the modulus is on the order of 104 dyn/cm2 for an assumed membrane thickness of 0.01μm. It was also observed that red cell tethers steadily increase in length when the fluid shear stress is greater than approximately 1.5 dyn/cm2 and tether lengths in excess of 200μm have been achieved. Tethers appear to possess both fluid and elastic properties.

I've found the default layout of Pitbull to be more than adequate. All you really have to do is place the frames, and you're good to go. Then, once you have the basic layout of where the frames should be, it's really not that hard to figure out how to customize them. There's even a handy little "Open DogTag Help" button at the bottom of every configuration screen that accepts DogTag tags. From there you can look up any/all tags in the DogTag library simply by browsing, or by typing part of the tag name. I've heard lots of people say Pitbull is too complex, but really, my argument has remained "It's only as complex as you want it to be." If you're smart enough to install an addon, you're smart enough to figure out Pitbull. Just spend a few minutes (maybe half an hour tops) poking around the options and you'll be able to do just about anything you want to. Also, the forums at wowace.com are a great resource for figuring out Pitbull and DogTag specific things. The community is helpful and active.

"Students have the liberty to express their faith at school," says Gateways to Better Education President Eric Buehrer. "One of the most important civics lessons all students should learn is that freedom of religious expression is a fundamental right of all Americans, and, as the U.S. Supreme Court has stated, this freedom does not end at the schoolhouse gate."
The U.S. Department of Education issued guidelines on freedom of religious expression in public schools twice during the Clinton administration (1995 and 1998) and once under the Bush administration (2003). The National Free to Speak Campaign is designed to equip and inform more school districts, schools, teachers, parents, and students about religious liberty at school, as outlined in the department's guidelines.
Here are seven freedoms outlined by the U.S. Department of Education and quoted in Free to Speak: What the U.S. Department of Education says about public school students' religious liberties.
1. You can pray, read your Bible or other religious material, and talk about your faith at school.
2. You can organize prayer groups and religious clubs, and announce your meetings.
3. You can express your faith in your class work and homework.
4. Your teachers can organize prayer groups with other teachers.
5. You may be able to go off campus to have religious studies during school hours.
6. You can express your faith at a school event.
7. You can express your faith at your graduation ceremony.
"The guidelines were sent to every school district, but they didn't always make it into the hands of school administrators, teachers, parents, and students," explainesADF Senior Legal Counsel David Cortman. "As a result, some schools have practices that are in direct violation of the guidelines and the U.S. Constitution. This campaign will help schools improve their practices."
Surveys consistently indicate that religion is an important part of teens' lives. For example, a 2008 Columbia University survey found that 53 percent of students ages 12-17 (84 percent from public schools) report attending religious services three or more times per month.
"Faith is an important part of millions of teens' lives," Buehrer says. "The classroom should be a safe place for students of all ages to express their faith in class discussions and homework assignments, just as the U.S. Department of Education has affirmed."
To promote greater awareness of religious freedom, the campaign has produced a pocket-sized student pamphlet entitled, "Free to Speak: What the U.S. Department of Education says about public school students' religious liberties." The campaign encourages churches and campus clubs to purchase the pamphlets in sets of 100 and distribute them throughout their schools and communities.
Additionally, the churches and clubs can request that ADF send a letter clarifying religious liberties on campus to any school administrator. Together, their goal is to distribute 500,000 pamphlets and reach 5,000 schools by the end of the year.

Exhbition Review: Viewers are part of the medium and the message Friday, April 25, 2003 By Leslie Hoffman
Anybody can be a celebrity now. From the proliferation of reality television shows such as "Survivor," "American Idol" and "Blind Date" to the media coverage of the war in Iraq, the imaginary line separating viewers from the world of media and entertainment has been chipped away. This interaction between the "real" world and its representation has become more and more self-referential as members of the public become aware of the possibility that they, or people like them, might appear in the media.
The current exhibition at the Wood Street Galleries -- organized by New York curator, writer and editor Timothy Druckrey -- displays a collection of installations exploring this concept. "critical_conditions: information atmospheres and event scenes exhibition" questions such issues via Internet-based art that relies on the interaction between the viewer and the art itself.
"Empire," by Wolfgang Staehle, exemplifies the dissolution of the separation between the events of daily life and the recording of these events. In the gallery, a live Web-camera image of the Empire State Building is projected onto a wall-sized area. On a clear afternoon, the image is rather boring; it's just the iconic image against a pale blue sky. But when the viewer takes into account the collection of images amassed over the period of time spent watching it, the change in the sky and the events surrounding the building become significant. "Empire" raises questions concerning the perception of "real time" as well as how we as observers interact with a seemingly static object.
Staehle's work was inspired by Andy Warhol's seminal 1964 film of the same title in which a camera pointed at the Empire State Building recorded it in slow motion for eight hours and five minutes. Staehle updates the medium and introduces, by its live feed, the possibility that anything can happen.
Like "Empire," each of the pieces in the exhibit is concerned with the representation of cinema. In order to understand this concept, it's helpful to look at the breakdown of the word "cinema." Don't think of the word so much as a story represented on screen, but rather, think of its Greek roots that mean "moving pictures."
The installation "Unmovie" by a group of seven collaborators is in keeping with this theme. Rather than letting the audience remain passive observers to a sequence of predictable events, "Unmovie" forces them to anticipate rather than merely consume. The installation consists of two projections splayed across the wall in a haphazard fashion; the corners of the room break up the image. A collection of lights, and occasionally unrelated sound, plays in the space, the lights changing as the viewers walk near them.
Rafael Lozano-Hemmer's "Vectorial Elevation" originated as a performance relying entirely on audience participation. The artist set up lights around Mexico City and then allowed invited visitors to the project Web site, www.alzado.net, to create their own configurations. The artist displayed the light sculptures as they came in over the Internet, and each sculpture could be seen in a 10-mile radius.
The "Vectorial Elevation" display at the gallery is a documentation of this event and consists of six photographs of the images captured in the night sky, a video, a computer with a browser pointed to the project's Web site, as well as two walls full of printouts of the public's requests for the sculptures. The designer's comments and dedications accompany each printout: Comments from "I want to marry you" to "Pick-up sticks" were supplied by the creative public. The event, when it actually took place, must have been quite breathtaking, and the project's interaction with the public is noteworthy, too.
In addition to these pieces, Maciej Wisniewski's "Instant Places 2002," a fictional piece of software that pits two projections against each other on opposite walls raises more questions about the personal information available on the Internet as well as its accessibility.
The collective 0100101110101101. ORG presents its artistic computer virus, "biennale.py" against a backdrop of a hand-assembled computer whose sole function is its own infection and disinfection. The collective -- .01.ORG for short -- also presents a series of quotes from the media in reaction to its piece, which was created for the 49th Venice Biennale. As it attempts to bring to audiences an awareness of the importance and cultural significance of what it's addressing, .01.ORG inadvertently promotes itself and becomes part of a system it sets out to critique. Whether the virus itself is actually art is debatable, but the manner in which the collective has handled its subsequent publicity is really what's intriguing.
In this respect, "biennale.py," returns to the idea of groups and individuals inventing their own celebrity through their own means as well as through the weakening lines separating the media from the public, an idea that runs rampant throughout the exhibit as a whole.
Despite this breakdown and the fact that the art in the exhibit deals with what has become a very public medium, the Wood Street Galleries' "critical_conditions" is not as accessible as could be expected. Each piece is challenging and complex, but not in a difficult or unpleasant manner: The true interaction inherent to each piece comes within the minds of the viewers themselves.
The exhibit "critical_conditions: information atmospheres and event scenes exhibition" runs at the Wood Street Galleries through May 17. The gallery is at 601 Wood St., Downtown, and is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday. For more information, call 412-471-5605.

Cardinal's Appointments
Cardinal George approved the following clergy appointment August 29:
Rev. Theodore Ploplis to rector of the National Shrine of St. Francis Xavier Cabrini effective Sept. 1, while retaining his duties as coordinator of spiritual services at St. Joseph Hospital.
I begin this column with a sense of profound gratitude to all those who have written or called or let me know they are praying for me as I enter into a lengthy chemotherapy treatment to destroy cancer in my body. My own prayers are full of distractions these days, and it is a great comfort to know that I can count on so many to keep my needs before the Lord. Because I am Archbishop of Chicago, the needs of this local church are more important than my own, and I hope that every prayer keeps that in perspective: We should pray for what is best for this archdiocese and its mission.
Prayer of intercession is a form of work; it is done with the intention to produce a certain result, depending, of course, on God's will for us. Last weekend our country celebrated Labor Day, a holiday begun to honor workers who produce the goods needed for others in our society and to remind everyone of the struggle to create a just economy, one in which work would be available for all and wages would be sufficient to raise a family in dignity. Biblical justice is not a matter of equality but of right relationships, and a just economy respects the proper relationships between capital and labor and all other sectors of our society.
Each year, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Domestic Justice issues a Labor Day Statement. Piggybacking on that statement, the rest of this column will consist of considerations from it. The entire statement is available on the USCCB website at www.usccb.org/issues-and-action/human-life-and-dignity/labor-employment/labor-day-statement-2012.cfm.
The statement situates the moral imperatives we face when looking at work and workers today: "This Labor Day, our country continues to struggle with a broken economy that is not producing enough decent jobs. Millions of Americans suffer from unemployment, underemployment or are living in poverty as their basic needs too often go unmet. This represents a serious economic and moral failure for our nation. As people of faith, we are called to stand with those left behind, offer our solidarity, and join forces with 'the least of these' to help meet their basic needs. We seek national economic renewal that places working people and their families at the center of economic life."
The statement then breaks down and focuses the elements of our social situation into three sections: the broken economy leaves too many without decent work; a call for economic renewal and support for workers; and, building a more just economy.
As a statement of principles, the document reads the economic news in the light of the demands of economic justice and the vision of a just and charitable society. This leaves a lot of room for prudential judgments on the part of workers, owners, employers, unions and ordinary citizens. For those looking for quick and definitive answers to complicated problems, such a statement always falls short. For those looking for a moral guide to effective action, it will be helpful.
Among several quotes from papal documents cited in the statement, let me include the first, a quote from Pope Benedict XVI's encyclical letter, Charity in truth: "In many cases, poverty results from a violation of the dignity of human work, either because work opportunities are limited…or because a low value is put on work and the rights that flow from it, especially the right to a just wage and to the personal security of the worker and his or her family."
Just as prayer is more efficacious when we pray together, so efforts to protect workers are more effective when they are gathered into morally responsible labor unions and other associations. Neither society in general nor workers in particular should be reduced to collections of individuals without relationships to one another for the sake of the common good. This Labor Day, a key to the public conversation should be consideration of what is truly the common good rather than assuming that the common good is just the sum total of individual interests. The basic unit of any just society is the family. Work and public policies that strengthen family life and relationships are morally upright; what weakens the family is sinful.
God bless you. May our prayers for each other do their work for all of us.

Rizzo has been classified as a Dober-wannabe. He is really a mix between a Doberman and German Shepherd. If you adopt Rizzo, you will be getting the best of both breeds! He has the beautiful red/rust coloring of a Doberman but the coat of a German Shepherd. He really does not mind being out in the rain, which is not a characteristic of a Doberman. He is a sweet boy with a big Dober-lean and wants to be petted all the time. He has big paws for his size and a heavier walk, which may be more of the German Shepherd. He is great with large dogs (too rough with small ones) and will not be placed in a home with cats. He is young and very energetic and therefore needs to be in a home with a fenced yard because he loves to run laps in the yard. He is learning manners now but will need to attend obedience classes with his forever owner. Rizzo's energy level and lack of manners also requires him to find a family with older children who can handle such a fun boy. He appears to be housebroken. He walks great on a leash and doesn't mind encountering new people and things on walks. He would do well in the city. Rizzo will encourage you to keep your house picked up as he thinks anything left out is a potential toy for him to play with or meal on the counter, but he is easily bribed to exchange for an appropriate dog toy. He is SMART and learns quickly. He loves relaxing in his crate. He is a very beautiful dog, and I do not believe the pictures reflect his handsome face and magnificent personality. If you are interested in learning more about Rizzo please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Collar and Leash: Rizzo will be quite the handsome dude with his new set of Duds donated by Amar Patel. Thanks Amar!

Maglite makes a new small LED that I have decided to go with. Its called a XL50 or XL100. Push button on the back and fits right into the J-003 Black Jack mount. I am LOVING mine. The light is half the price of Streamlights and has a great warranty! That is my suggestion for everyone.

They make two models, the XL50 and the XL100. Both are identical in size, 1" diamater and 4.8" long. Both run on three AAA batteries.
The XL50 is 104 Lumens and will run for 8 hours, 45 minutes on high with new batteries. It also has a low power (25%) setting and a strobe. All are selectable through the number of clicks you do on the switch. Sold in most shops for around $25.00. Detailed review can be found here:
It is worth a read considering it points out the issue of standby battery life.
The XL100 is 83 Lumens (Although testing indicates it's the same as the XL50, 104 Lumens) and will run for 5 hours, 15 minutes on high with fresh batteries. It has a variable power setting but the way it is adjusted is impractical for helmet mounting. It has a motion feature much like an Iphone where you move the flashlight in your hand while depressing the button. The 5 setting are as follows:
Normal Mode (Basic On-Off)
Adjustable Brightness with Memory
Strobe Mode
Adjustable Strobe Rate with Memory
Nite Lite Mode
Automatically Dims to a Low Setting
Signal Mode
User initiated signal on-off
SOS Mode
Signals International Morse Code SOS
Prevents accidental operation
These features seem like a waste on a helmet light, so i would suggest the XL50 of the two. Average price on the XL100 is $35.00
An excellent, very detailed review of the XL100 can be found here:
In fairness, you say it's "Half the price of Streamlights" yet Streamlight makes no comparable light to this in terms of design or battery type. The closest they make size wise to the Maglite XL series which uses the same Blackjack mount you are using is the PolyTac LED. It's length is just over 5". So not even an inch longer then the Maglite. And it is MUCH brighter. The run time is less though. And the Maglites are not submersible. They are "rain proof". The Streamlight is submersible to 30 meters.
And as for the MagLite having a better warranty then Streamlight? Both Maglite and Streamlight have identical warranties. Lifetime excluding physical abuse and battery corrosion.
And what about price, you say the Maglite is "Half the price of the Streamlight"? The Streamlight PolyTac LED sells for $34.00 in most shops. So at most, it's less then $5.00 more then the Maglite.
If i was going to use a 1" diamater light on my helmet with a Blackjack mount, i would would much rather have the Streamlight. It's lighter, It's brighter, has no electronic switch and is totally waterproof.

Our Reviewer Says ...
"There is no credible scientific evidence proving that 'flushing' and 'detoxing' the liver results in weight loss."
At a Glance
The goal of the Fat Flush plan is to cleanse the liver, which according to author Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., is a fat-burning machine. With so many toxins being dumped into the liver through bile, its ability to digest fats becomes seriously impaired, claims Gittleman. The three-phase Fat Flush program requires dieters to "detoxify" their livers by swearing off toxic foods, beverages and medications -- things like alcohol, caffeine and birth control pills. The first phase of the diet bans almost everything but fruits, vegetables and some protein. The next two phases gradually add back diet-friendly carbs like brown rice and, in phase three, dairy products. But the Fat Flush prescriptions extend far beyond calorie counting and food restriction to ongoing self care (think getting enough sleep, drinking plenty of water, popping supplements and keeping a daily journal).
- Cost: Expensive. Ingredients like flaxseed oil, grass-fed meat and complicated supplement cocktails are pricey.
- Meals Provided: No.
- Diet Duration: The first phase is two weeks. Phase two can last from weeks to months, depending on how much weight you want to lose. Phase three is a lifetime commitment.
- Fitness Requirements: Moderate to brisk walking and bouncing on a mini trampoline. Weight training begins in phase three.
- Time Commitment: The daily journaling requirement is time-consuming. Support and information sharing is available online.
- Eating Out: Challenging. Gittleman offers tips for selecting and ordering "fat flush appropriate" dishes at a variety of restaurants. Rubios, Boston Market and other "fresh" fast food giants are listed, too.
- Alcohol: No.
- Vegetarian-Friendly: Not unless you want to subsist on whey protein shakes. Gittleman even limits soy protein because soy is not "complete" (it lacks the amino acid methionine).
- Strict/Flexible Eating Plan: Strict.

How to find free and legal pictures online
Need a quick picture for a blog post, web page or anything else? If you're like most people, you jump into Google Images and grab a great shot from there.
Unfortunately, that puts you at huge risk of lawsuit, because, unless someone specifically grants rights to you to use a given image, every picture taken in the United States (and in most other countries) is considered to be copyrighted, and the property of the person who took that picture. (By the way, this includes pictures taken in photo studios, so that class picture of you isn't yours – I know, something's really wrong there, but that's the law!)
Let me stress something here – this is serious, you really can get sued, and if the person has taken the right steps in copyrighting their picture, you could have to not only pay them a huge amount for stealing their image, you could also be charged damages, which could be serious amounts of money!
So how do you give them credit? See that line that says Attribute this work? Simply grab the code in that box, put it on the page with the image, and you're good to go. You can see how I've done that in the section at the bottom of this article where I say Photo Attribution:
Just be careful to follow the rules associated with each individual image. By checking the boxes for commercial usage and modification, you're usually safe, with Flickr only showing you pictures that you can use.
The place where this can bite you is if you, over time, separate the picture from the attribution. So, avoid creating a folder of favorite images to which you turn to grab pictures any time you need them, unless you devise some kind of system of attaching the attribution statement to each image in that folder.
That's it, simple, easy and quick. Just make sure you're disciplined, and you'll find generous people happily providing great images for you to use!
Have other places you like to go to get Creative Commons images? Tell us about them in the comments section below!

Joanne Willey
Professor, Professor of Biology
PHD, 1988, Mass Institute Technology; BA, 1981, Univ PennsylvaniaBio
Dr. Willey earned a B.A. magna cum laude in biology at the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD in biological oceanography (marine microbiology) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute Joint Program in Oceanography. She was a postdoctoral fellow from 1988-1992 at Harvard University in the department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, where her research interests were refocused to the study of the filamentous soil bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor.
Dr. Willey's research continues to explore on the streptomyctes, which have a complex, fungal-like life cycle and produce most of the antibiotics currently used in human and veterinary medicine. Her work led to the identification of a family of conserved biosurfactants produced by these microbes that are required for cellular differentiation. Her lab has received funds from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, American Society for Microbiology (ASM), and several pharmaceutical companies. Dr. Willey taught microbiology to allied health students, biology majors, and at the graduate level for 20 years in the Biology Department. She is the lead author of two textbooks, Prescott, Harley and Klein's Microbiology (7th -9th editions) and Prescott's Principles of Microbiology; both texts are published by McGraw-Hill Higher Education. She joined the medical school with a joint appointment in 2009 and in 2013 she moved to the medical school as a full time faculty member.

Today's Graphic Novel Grab Bag covers two music-based novels, but that is where the similarities end.
The "metal" part of today's grab bag is Black Metal volume 1 by Rick Spears and Chuck BB. The story follows two young boys with a love for the darkest of heavy metal music: Black Metal. Life would be one rock adventure after another if not for an over-protective mother and a snot-nosed little brother, and there is that thing about having to go to junior high school everyday.
It makes you wonder how they ever find the time to battle the dark forces of evil. This is volume 1 in what I hope is the first of many. Wonderful action shots and a pretty amusing story make Black Metal a fun read.
The "blues" portion of today's grab bag is the Bluesmanby Rob Vollmar and Pablo G. Callejo.
This three-volume series follows the journey of a blues musician in the deep south and his struggle to make a living. Wandering from juke joint to juke joint, the main character finally catches a lucky break. The only problem is when he and his partner find themselves in a situation in which the Bluesman is the only survivor. Who killed who and whose fault it is , are questions left for the local sheriff, who has to figure the whole mess out before his town erupts in a race war.
On the run and still dreaming of pressing that first single, we follow the Bluesman on his road to vindication. The surprise at the end is bittersweet and tear inducing.
There you go. Perfect reading for those with not only a love for music and of graphic novels, but of a good story as well.

text: Not many of us are overwhelmed with patriotic feelings when we think about scissors but they have been a highly protected manufactured good for much of America's history. In the tariff act of 1922, the tax on imported scissors was 45%, which was pretty high for that time. In the 1990s, the tariff on "cheap scissors" was 23.6%, which is super high for our era of low tariffs.

Spurs Waive Josh Powell
Posted By HOOPSWORLD On October 27, 2012 @ 7:00 am In All,Headlines,NBA Headlines | No Comments
The Spurs will enter the regular season with a 14-man roster after waiving Josh Powell, the team's last remaining free agent, following Friday's 100-85 victory over Washington.
Powell, a six-year veteran, outlasted five other candidates — one of whom, Eddy Curry, had 11 points, seven rebounds and three blocks against Charlotte on Friday after being picked up by Dallas.
But it wasn't enough to secure the 15th and final roster spot despite averaging 5.8 points and 3.8 rebounds in six preseason appearances. Powell missed his only field goal attempt in garbage time of Friday's victory.

VATICAN CITY -- Less than a week after a coadjutor archbishop was installed to assist him, 57-year-old Archbishop Joseph Ngo Quang Kiet of Hanoi resigned his post amid rumors that the Vietnamese government had told the Vatican the archbishop must go.
Pope Benedict XVI accepted Archbishop Ngo Quang Kiet's resignation May 13. Archbishop Pierre Nguyen Van Nhon, 72, who had been welcomed as the coadjutor archbishop of Hanoi May 7, automatically became head of the archdiocese.
In an interview published on the Vietnamese bishops' website in April, Archbishop Ngo Quang Kiet denied rumors that he had been pressured to step down after he asked Catholics in 2007 to pray for the government to return the former apostolic nunciature to the church. He also had criticized Hanoi city authorities for building a flower garden on the premises without local church approval.
"I am personally under no pressure from any side," the archbishop said in the interview, which was reported by UCA News, the Asian Catholic news agency.
The archbishop reportedly had been suffering from stress and insomnia. In announcing his resignation, the Vatican cited a norm of canon law that asks bishops to offer their resignations when facing "ill health or some other grave cause" that would prevent them from carrying out their ministry.
AsiaNews, a Rome-based Catholic news agency, reported May 11 that the archbishop would step down and hypothesized that he would do so because Vietnam's communist government made his ouster a condition for launching full diplomatic relations with the Vatican and for allowing the pope to visit Vietnam in January 2011.
Give a Christmas gift that lasts all year. Give the gift of NCR!
For at least two years, AsiaNews said, Archbishop Ngo Quang Kiet "has been the focus of a regime campaign to have him removed. Indeed, the prelate has always supported the requests and the prayers of the faithful of Hanoi who suffer oppression, expropriation of land, churches and cemeteries, along with gratuitous violence."
Also May 13, the Vatican announced that Pope Benedict had appointed Dominican Father Paul Nguyen Thai Hop, 65, to be the new bishop of Vinh. The bishop-designate, an expert in ethics and Catholic social teaching, has been a professor at the Vietnam National University in Ho Chi Minh City, as well at the Dominican Study Center.
He succeeds Bishop Paul-Marie Cao Dinh Thuyen, who celebrated his 83rd birthday in January.

Reader Poll: Richmond Adding Lacrosse, Dropping Others
The addition of Division I lacrosse is always big news.
Richmond has been rumored for a long time — the school had a Board meeting on the subject as recent as April — but the way it did it made the story more interesting.
Staff Debate: Richmond Adding Lacrosse
News broke late last week that the University of Richmond, long rumored and suspected to be one of the next programs to add varsity lacrosse, was taking the plunge. The Spiders already have a women's program and thus had to eliminate men's soccer and men's track to make the move.
LaPierre Named Virginia's 2013 Captain
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Virginia head men's lacrosse coach Dom Starsia announced that midfielder Chris LaPierre has been selected as team captain for the 2013 campaign.
Richmond AD Jim Miller: 'Our Goal Is to Be a National Contender'
With Richmond's announcement Friday that it's adding men's lacrosse, IL caught up with Spider Athletic Director Jim Miller about the university's decision-making process and where Richmond lacrosse will go from here. To kick things off, Miller clarified the department's intentions within the sport.
"We're excited to be a part of the lacrosse community. Our goal is to be a national contender as soon as possible, and I think that's dependent on getting the best student-athletes we can on campus," he said.
George Huguely Files Appeal
George Huguely's defense team has filed an appeal of the criminal case in which Huguely was convicted of second-degree murder, multiple news outlets in Virginia are reporting. The notice of appeal was filed in Charlottesville County Court.
Huguely was sentenced to 23 years in prison in late August. With that sentencing order, Huguely's defense team had 30 days to file an appeal to a higher court, which was an expected move, according to NBC 29 in Virginia. Earlier in August, Huguely's defense team filed for a retrial, which was denied. There won't be word until early next year if the appeal is granted.

The university would cut men's soccer and track to become Title IX compliant for the move, the paper reported. Players and coaches from both teams were told the news in a meeting Friday, the school's paper said. Richmond already has a women's lacrosse team.
An official announcement is expected Friday, the paper said. The school had considered lacrosse in the spring but decided not to add it at that time.

'Silent House' Trailer Delivers a Screaming Elizabeth Olsen and Real-Time Terror
Movie News By Scott Beggs on January 6, 2012 | Be the First To CommentMovies presented in real-time are a sort of rarity. High Noon and Rope jump to the mind immediately, and they're fantastic, but there are also a handful of films that never got past the concept as pure gimmick. However, it's always been interesting to guess at what the appeal of taking away the possibility of jumping forward or back in time really is. One obvious trick, is the creation of suspense. A constantly ticking clock that the audience is physically aware of. That seems to be alive and well for Sundance favorite Silent House which features Sundance favorite Elizabeth Olsen. It comes from Open Water creators Chris Kentis and Laura Lau, and tells the story of a young woman and her father who are stuck inside a home where a noise continues to grow louder and louder. It's based off the Uruguayan movie from Gustavo Hernandez that Rob was not a big fan of. Gimmick-based or not, the trailer here is pretty damned limp. It's composed almost entirely of shots of Olsen breathing heavily and then a poorly shot "thing of some sort" grabbing her? Not grabbing her? Hard to say. Check it out for yourself:

The Romans in Britain
So here we are again, split-time story,
Unexpectedly. I had no clue
The Troubles would enter before act two
In tandem with Roman hegemony.
Perhaps the cause of controversy,
Not the buggery, swears or several nude
Scenes, but the National's unpatriotic cues,
Way back when in old nineteen eighty.
I respond well to chronicle history
That dwells on material realities
& deals with the making of myths out of bones,
But that one narrative strategy
I've said several times deeply unhearts me,
As seemingly setting flux into hard stone.

45 S Barrington Rd., Barrington, IL 60010-
re: nsxtasy
Is Glenview within 20 minutes of Hoffman Estates? If so, I recommend Periyali (Greektown level food with pretty nice outdoor dining) and Cafe Lucci (Italian with great service and wine list). Both are on Milwaukee just north of Golf. You are also within reach of Mitsuwa, a Japanese supermarket with a fun food court, which is on Arlington Heights and Algonquin.
Cafe Lucci
609 Milwaukee Ave, Glenview, IL 60025
Here are my favorites in that area:
Shaw's Crab House (seafood, Schaumburg) - www.shawscrabhouse.com (Schaumburg location of the Chicago favorite)
Salsa 17 (creative Mexican, Arlington Heights) - www.salsa17.com (don't miss the moles)
altThai (Thai, Arlington Heights) - www.altthai.com
Walker Brothers (breakfast/brunch, Arlington Heights) - www.walkerbrosoph.com (don't miss the puffed-up, cinnamony apple pancake)
Here are two more places for breakfast; I think the food is better at Walker Brothers, but these other two are closer and you may prefer the more convenient location:
Richard Walker's (Schaumburg) - www.richardwalkers.com
Apple Villa (Hoffman Estates) - www.applevillapancakes.comSimilarly, I've been to this Thai restaurant and it's not bad; I think the food is better at altThai, but this is closer and you may prefer the more convenient location:

Are you ready to go on a carbon diet?
British retailer displays 'carbon footprint' label on everyday items. US retailers are hesitant to follow.
(Page 2 of 2)
Since 2005 the world's largest retailer has been attempting to embed sustainability into its corporate culture. It was the first major global retailer to announce large investments in renewable energy. Wal-Mart has given its buyers greater discretion to factor in environmental considerations while innovating with suppliers on carbon emissions. But it's only suggesting – not mandating – that suppliers measure and reduce their carbon footprint on product lines limited to DVDs, toothpaste, soap, milk, beer, vacuum cleaners, and soda.
Skip to next paragraphSubscribe Today to the Monitor
As for carbon-labeling, Wal-Mart's senior vice president of sustainability, Matt Kistler, says that he doubted existing methodologies and the Wal-Mart customer's ability to relate carbon with consumer merchandise.
"I'm not sure the consumer will ever make a purchase based on the carbon footprint," he says, "especially the mass consumer."
At apparel companies like Gap Inc., sustainability largely focuses on packaging and store construction while the conversation with the public continues to be stymied by the fact that environmentally friendly garments cost far more than most consumers are willing to pay.
"There needs to be increased consumer education regarding clothing and the environment," says Craig Minowa, an environmental scientist at the Organic Consumers Association in Finland, Minn.
Petroleum-based pesticides and fertilizers make cotton one of the most toxic crops on the planet, says Mr. Minowa, "but to date there has been very little of this [consumer education] because many eco-friendly labeled clothes cost 50 to 100 percent more than their conventional counterparts."
In 2004, Gap Inc. launched a clean-water program to raise effluent discharge standards at its denim laundry facilities, but going back any further down the supply chain remains problematic. Gap's Better Cotton Initiative aims to provide a less costly and equally sustainable alternative to organic cotton, but so far the progress has been slow. Organic and alternative fibers remain less than 1 percent of their business, according to industry analysts.
Another option being pushed by clothing retailers centers on labels that try to convey the full impact of their manufacturing processes.
Patagonia, for example, has a new Web-based effort called the Footprint Chronicles. By showing both the "good" and "bad" on the company's interactive website, a consumer can track a Wool 2 Crew sweater as it originates in New Zealand, travels to Malaysia for combing, then to Japan, where it's spun into yarn and knitted, then to California and Nevada for sewing and production. In all, that's 16,200 miles traveled.
"This is not sustainable," the website states. The consumer also learns how the wool goes through an ozone wash, which is better for the environment than chlorine.

i can confirm that. even though i have only a 12s setup with 1500w max i almost NEVER use the 9 gears at the hub. i just switch between the front middle gear (for launching) and then after some meters switch to the big one (for cycling), the rear gear's always set to the smallest one.
However, I will strongly challenge anyone claiming a human can't output more than 500watts during acceleration. Do the math on what it takes to go 0-30mph in under 6 seconds on pedal power alone
(1800watts) (18lb road bike)
Amateur bicycle racers can typically produce 3 watts/kg for more than an hour (e.g., around 210 watts for a 70 kg rider), with top amateurs producing 5 W/kg and elite athletes achieving 6 W/kg for similar lengths of time. Elite track sprinters are able to attain an instantaneous maximum output of around 2,000 watts, or in excess of 25 W/kg; elite road cyclists may produce 1,600 to 1,700 watts as an instantaneous maximum in their burst to the finish line at the end of a five-hour long road race. Even at moderate speeds, most power is spent in overcoming the aerodynamic drag force, which increases with the square of speed.[4] Thus, the power required to overcome drag increases with the cube of the speed.

Against all odds, Pawngo's decision to drop thousands of Butterfinger bars in Boston to mock Wes Welker's crucial Super Bowl drop mightily pissed off Patriots fans. Beantowners banded together to rage against the Denver-based online pawn shop through social media. So much so that company CEO Todd Hills issued an apology for the stunt.
"As a die-hard sports fan, I would like to sincerely apologize for a misguided and misdirected stunt that we did yesterday in Boston,"Hills wrote Wednesday. "In delivering a pile of Butterfinger bars to Copley Square in Boston, and a sign referencing Wes Welker, we were making a lighthearted gesture following Sunday's hard fought game. We thought that Boston fans would get a laugh out of it. But, for many great Boston sports fans, it was taken offensively. Please accept my most sincere apologies.
"We got caught up in the moment, reacting to a suggestion that we thought would be funny, but we were wrong, and on behalf of everyone involved with Pawngo, I apologize."
Butterfinger also rushed out to make it clear they had nothing to do with the lame prank, tweeting, "BTW Butterfinger had NOTHING to do w/ Boston stunt after the big game. A company bought our bars (like 7,200) & used 'em w/out our knowledge."
There you go, Boston. You needed a victory and, dammit, you sure got one.

23 March 2009 00:00 [Source: ICB]
Tomas Marzec-Manser/London
E.ON renewed its pressure on the UK government last week to offer more financial incentives for carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, as it awaits a firm decision on plans to expand its coal-fired Kingsnorth plant and fit it with CCS. The German energy company said that current fossil fuel policy acted as a financial disincentive for generators planning CCS-enabled plants.
Paul Golby, E.ON UK's CEO, said: "Let us complete the technical development of CCS while [the government] funds the difference between abated and unabated fossil."
An E.ON spokeswoman said CCS increased generating costs by about 25%, and the government had to provide financial support to make the investment worthwhile.
She added that if incentives to build and run CCS plants were not put in place, the first generator using CCS would effectively be penalized for doing so.
The spokeswoman likened the development of CCS to the unrolling of flue-gas desulfurization (FGD) equipment, the high price of which fell heavily as soon as more generators applied the technology. She pointed out that incentives and financial support were introduced for FGD, and called for similar support for CCS.
A Department of Energy and Climate Change spokeswoman said that a new consultation was already being planned to assess the high running costs of CCS. But she added that the department had launched its CCS competition - for which the Kingsnorth project has been shortlisted - to help the first commercial developer of carbon capture meet the high costs of development and operation.
E.ON added that it had begun assessing pipeline routes from the Kent coast to transfer the captured carbon from Kingsnorth to North Sea gas fields for storage. The company is also planning to ship the carbon in storage tanks to the fields.
Earlier this year E.ON said the cost of its Kingsnorth 1.6GW expansion had risen by 50% because of planning consent delays.
EU energy firms' pledge will aid power sector consolidation
CEOs from power companies across the 27 EU member states signed a joint declaration last Wednesday pledging to keep climate change, market harmonization and security of supply at the top of their priority list for years to come. Although the 60 CEOs - who published their statement through industry lobby Eurelectric - said nothing fundamentally new, the declaration will help consolidate the European electricity industry around core principles. The declaration, which also referred to €1.8 trillion ($2.5 trillion) in needed investments, was submitted to EU energy commissioner Andris Piebalgs ahead of a European Council, also last week.
Petrochemical weakness tipped to drive up LPG stocks
The collapse of US petrochemical production has driven the country's liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) sellers into exporting roles in 2009 and will push up LPG stocks this year as export opportunities dry up, an industry consultant has said. "In January and February, unusually large amounts of LPG were shipped to Europe, Asia and South America," Purvin & Gertz consultant Walt Hart said at the company's international LPG seminar.
NGL futures outpace plastics
Natural gas liquids (NGL) futures trading was off to a flying start on US commodities exchange NYMEX while downstream plastics futures remained on the starting line, due in part to weak market conditions, NYMEX officials said last week. "Some [NGL] contracts that we knew would take longer to get going are now picking up, and we're getting positive feedback," said Joe Raia, managing director of energy and metals products for CME Group, the holding company for the NYMEX exchange.
