The sky and pink Q7 Compact Mirrorless Camera with 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 Zoom Lens from Pentax features an upgraded 12.4MP 1/1.7" Backlit CMOS sensor. It produces low-noise images even at high ISO sensitivities (up to 12800) in both JPEG and 12-bit RAW formats. It is directly compatible with Pentax Q-mount lenses including the Pentax 02 Standard 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 Zoom Lens, with which it is bundled here.
With fast autofocus, shutter speeds up to 1/2000s and continuous shooting rates of 5 fps at full resolution, the Q7 can capture quick action; and its numerous scene modes, assistive and creative features and in-camera shift-sensor shake reduction allow you to easily capture the tough shots. Full manual exposure as well as Aperture and Shutter Priority modes enable true image control and a built-in pop-up flash provides extra light when the need calls. A hot shoe mount for an external flash or optional viewfinder is also available.
Full HD 1080p video capture at 24 and 30 fps is supported, and a built-in micro HDMI port enables you to view your movies on an HDTV. Movie mode also features a digital filter to add effects to your images and offers interval shooting for time lapse videos. A 3.0" LCD monitor with 460k-dot resolution provides image composition and playback. Images are stored on SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards and the camera is compatible with Eye-Fi memory cards for easy transfer to Wi-Fi enabled devices.
The Q7 is a particularly lightweight interchangeable lens camera (7 oz with battery) compatible with a wide range of lenses and available in 120 color combinations. The Pentax 02 Standard 5-15mm zoom lens provides the 35mm focal length equivalent of a 23-69mm lens, incorporating wide angle to short telephoto lengths. It is ideal as an everyday lens not simply due to its versatility but because it offers a compact and lightweight form factor. Its f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide-angle end is effective in low light situations and is able to produce a shallow depth of field. Four extra-low dispersion aspherical lens elements keep chromatic aberrations to a minimum throughout its zoom range and Pentax's exclusive lens coating technology reduces flare and helps to produce sharp, high contrast images. An integrated neutral density filter provides 2-stops of light reduction for enhanced exposure control when using wide apertures in bright light.
- 12.4MP 1/1.7" Backlit CMOS Sensor
- A larger 1/1.7" sensor upgrades the Q7 over its predecessor and provides high resolution, low-noise images in several aspect ratios and image sizes. 12-bit RAW images and JPEG files are supported, as is in-camera RAW processing.
- Compact and Lightweight
- At 4.0 x 2.3 x 1.3" (10.2 x 5.8 x 3.3 cm) and a mere 6.35 oz (180 g) without batteries, the Q7 is among the world's smallest and lightest interchangeable lens cameras.
- Fast Performance
- Fast Autofocus speeds combined with shutter speeds of up to 1/8000 seconds (with the electronic shutter enabled) and 5 fps continuous shooting in full resolution means that you will catch the action as it unfolds around you.
- Full HD 1080p Video
- The Q7 can record videos in 1080p Full HD resolution in the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format. Videos can be recorded at 24 and 30 fps in 1080p, 720p and VGA resolutions. Interval movie recording is supported and digital filter effects, such as Water Color and Toy Camera can be applied to video images. A built-in monaural microphone is available to record sound for your videos.
- 3.0" LCD with 460k-dot Resolution
- With a 100% field of view and 460,000 dot resolution, image composition and playback are clearly rendered on the TFT color LCD monitor. Anti-reflective coating and color and brightness adjustability enable you to see the screen in difficult lighting and a grid display, bright/dark area warning and a histogram assist in composing the ideal shot.
- Compatible Lenses
- Q-Mount lens system encompasses prime, zoom, fisheye and other types of lenses. With the optional Adapter Q for K Lens, you can also use the numerous K-mount lenses with the Q7 camera.
- Focus Systems
- The Q7 supports both autofocus and manual focus capability. Contrast detection autofocus provides several focus modes including Face Detection, AF Tracking, AF Select (25 Points), Select, and Spot. The camera features a dedicated LED AF Assist lamp and Manual Focus Assist.
- Auto and Manual Exposure
- The Q7 performs TTL auto exposure metering including segment metering, center-weighted metering, and spot metering. In automatic mode, the camera will make all the optimal adjustments to get you the ideal shot. In addition, traditional DSLR exposure modes, such as P (Program), Av (Aperture priority), Tv (Shutter priority), and M (Manual) are available for more controlled imaging. Bulb shooting allows for extended exposures and Multi-Exposure allows you to shoot from 2-9 frames on top of each other with exposure adjusted automatically.
- Capture Modes
- Auto capture modes make it easy to capture properly exposed images of specific types of shots including Standard, Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Night Scene Portrait, Night Scene, Blue Sky, and Forest. Scene Modes allow you to set the camera to very specific types of shots: Portrait, Landscape, Macro, Moving Object, Night Scene Portrait, Sunset, Blue Sky, Forest, Night Scene, Night Scene HDR, Night Snap, HDR, Quick Macro, Food, Pet, Kids, Surf & Snow, Backlight Silhouette, Candlelight, Stage Lighting, and Museum. HDR (High Dynamic Range) mode is available in Auto, HDR1 and HDR2 and shoots three shots of the same high contrast scene then combines the three shots into one balanced image. HDR adjustment allows you to correct images specifically in their shadowed or highlight areas.
- Image Stabilization
- In-camera Sensor-shift Shake Reduction stabilizes images for clear, blur-free quality, even in low-light conditions. Because it is camera body-based, it operates independently of the camera's lenses, offering the same amount of stability regardless of lens choice.
- Flash and Hot Shoe Mount
- The Q7 provides a built-in retractable P-TTL flash unit with a Guide Number of 16 (ISO100/ft) and sync speed up to 1/2000 seconds. Flash modes include: P-TTL, Red-eye Reduction, Slow-speed Sync and 2nd Curtain Sync. A hot shoe mount is also available for attaching an external flash unit or an optional viewfinder.
- In-Camera RAW Development
- The Q7 includes SILKYPIX Developer Studio 3 software for powerful and flexible RAW file processing. In-camera RAW image development is also supported for quick output of your enhanced jpeg files.
- In-Camera HDR
- In-camera HDR capture mode shoots 3 images of varying exposures, blending them to bring out the details in even the darkest shadows and brightest highlights of extreme contrast shots.
- Interval Shooting
- With Interval Shooting you can create time lapse videos. Shot intervals can be set from 3 seconds to 24 hours up to a total of 999 images.
- Smart Effects and Digital Filters
- Smart Effects modes, accessible via the camera's Quick Dial, give you the freedom to apply various creative effects to your images. Brilliant Color, Vintage Color, Warm Fade, Bold Monochrome, and Water Color are some of the effects available to you. Digital filters include Toy Camera, High Contrast, Shading, Slim, HDR, Invert Color, Extract Color, Color, Water Color, Posterization, and Fish-eye.
- Bokeh Control
- Bokeh is the out of focus portion of the image background that helps to emphasize the subject, drawing the viewer's eyes to the most important part of the photo. The Q7 assists the experienced and casual photographer alike by offering a fine degree of extra control over image bokeh via an in-camera filter operation.
- Micro HDMI Port
- A built-in micro HDMI port is perfect for outputting high resolution images and video, with sound, to compatible HDTVs.
- Image Playback and Edit
Playback viewing options are single frame, multi-image display (4, 9, 30, 56 segments), display magnification (up to 16x, scrolling and quick magnification available), rotating, histogram (Y histogram, RGB histogram), bright/dark area warning, detailed information, folder display, date display and slideshow.
Digital Filters can be added to images after they have been taken and include: Base Parameter Adjustment, Toy Camera, High Contrast, Shading, Tone Expansion, Invert Color, Extract Color, Unicolor Bold, Water Color, Posterization, Slim, Fish-eye, Retro, Soft, Sketch Filter, Miniature, Soft and Starburst.
Images can be edited in camera, adjustments include: Resize, Cropping (aspect ratio adjustment available), Index, Movie Editing (divide or delete selected frames), capturing a JPEG still picture from a movie, Red-eye Edit, and saving as a RAW file.
- Memory Cards
- SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards are compatible with the Q7 and Eye-Fi cards can be used to send images directly to a Wi-Fi enabled device.
- Customized Quick Dial
- Choose from a variety of creative modes, Smart Effect options, or camera settings to assign to the Q7's Quick Dial located on the front of the camera. Easily customize the setting or effect using the Quick Dial's 4 positions without having to explore the camera's menu system.
- Customizable Colors
- The Q7 can be customized in over 120 combinations of funky colors.
- Supported Languages
- English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Polish, Czech, Hungarian, Turkish, Greek, Russian, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese.
- Optional Viewfinder
- The external viewfinder O-VF1 fits into the hot shoe mount of the Q7, offering stable image composition, even in bright sunlight when viewing an LCD is traditionally a challenge. The O-VF1 works with the Q 01 (47mm equivalent) prime lens.
- Pentax 02 Standard 5-15mm f/2.8-4.5 Zoom Lens
- The Pentax 02 Standard 5-15mm zoom lens provides the 35mm focal length equivalent of a 23-69mm lens incorporating wide angle to portrait length telephoto lengths. It is ideal as an everyday lens not simply due to its versatility but because it offers a compact and lightweight form factor. Its f/2.8 maximum aperture at the wide-angle end is effective in low light situations and able to produce a shallow depth of field. Four extra-low dispersion aspherical lens elements keep chromatic aberrations to a minimum throughout its zoom range and Pentax's exclusive lens coating technology reduces flare and helps to produce sharp, high contrast images. An integrated neutral density filter provides 2-stops of light reduction for enhanced exposure control when using wide apertures in bright light.

Project Description
Planet Health is an interdiscipinary curriculum focused on improving the health and well-being of sixth through eighth grade students while building and reinforcing skills in language arts, math, science, social studies, and physical education.
Through classroom and physical education activities, Planet Health aims to increase activity, improve dietary quality, and decrease inactivity. Such healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent overweight, and if sustained, can lower risk factors for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, certain types of cancer, and osteoporosis.
The second edition of Planet Health includes revised nutrition and physical activity information, ensuring that you're equipped with the most up-to-date science. The book also includes an all-new CD-ROM with plenty of reproducible worksheets, parent information and newsletters, school health resources, and other teacher resource materials. Planet Health provides:
- 35 complete, ready-to-use lesson plans and 31 microunits that promote healthy nutrition and activity;
- materials and instructions to implement Power Down, a two-week campaign to reduce television and other media viewing time, which you can launch in the classroom or school-wide; and
- FitCheck, a self-assessment tool to help students track and improve their activity levels.
Planet Health is designed to fit within existing curricula and meets Massachusetts Department of Education Curriculum Frameworks and national learning standards for math, science, language arts, social studies, comprehensive health, and physical education. Teacher trainings, flexible design, and planning tools facilitate the implementation of Planet Health.
Planet Health is a tested intervention and has been measured for readability by the National Cancer Institute and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.

Excellent value for the money. The frames are sturdy and attractive, but not heavy, and they make it easier on the eyes to work on a computer, which I do all day and half the night. The lenses are well ground and clear -- good quality. The only reason I didn't give them a five is the yellow coloring, it is much more, er, much yellower than shown on the website. It isn't very flattering, gives the distinct impression of liver disease so I don't wear them at the office, just at home in the evening. I would like to be able to buy readers with this PERFECT frame, but with clear lenses, to use at work. I am still using an old pair I bought from Deb four years ago.
I sent this comment last week & received a lovely response from Farrel. You can use it as a review if you like.
Comment: I just received my melanin lens computer glasses (FireFox w/case) & they fit perfectly, arrived on time and look great!! A wonderful alternative to paying a lot more money buying tinted bifocal prescription glasses - which I really don't need right now. Reading glasses I bought from another website weren't nearly the same quality and didn't offer melanin lenses in the same kind of cool designs that you offer. I'll be buying another pair with different frames from your company soon as I can save up some extra money (although they are very reasonably priced) Thank you!!
Linda Williams
I really like these
I like the look of these glasses. The melanin is a bit dark for indoor fluorescent lighting. The glasses are a tad tight fighting, and I don't have a large head.
The melanin-tinted Firefox is effective in reducing eyestrain in low daylight, without compromising visibility. The lenses are however more "yellow" (as melanin lenses tend to be) than the mellowed colors portrayed on the Debspec webpage.

Wednesday, May 29, 2013
The song from the movie Mary Poppins says, "A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, in a most delightful way."
Well, Mary was right. It does.
A spoonful of sugar makes a lot of things go down delightfully and I'm finding that out more and more every day.
Seeing how I'm diabetic, I have had to cut out my sugar, and I've had a really hard time doing this. I've long maintained that if you can't drink sweet tea there's no point in drinking iced tea. Unsweetened iced tea tastes like sink water and those who drink it and say it tastes great, you are only fooling yourselves.
It's awful.
I tried to choke it down. I couldn't.
The same goes for black coffee and skim milk. I don't care what flavor they make it taste like, if unsweetened iced tea tastes like sink water than black coffee tastes like bath water. It's beyond awful.
Sure, I can go the artificial sweetener route, but those do more harm to your brain than the sugar does to the rest of your body. I tried the artificial sweeteners and was told they would rot my brain and my brain's rotted enough.
As for skim milk, why even drink milk if you have to drink that stuff? I can do one-percent milk, though I usually buy two-percent. But I draw the line at skim milk.
My son said if you gradually cut down from whole milk to skim you'll get used to it – there's that phrase again, get used to it. I don't want to get used to skim milk, or black coffee, or unsweet tea.
My son said after you get used to skim milk that drinking whole milk is like drinking paint. If so, that's the best tasting paint I've ever had.
I have to take this whole dieting thing – especially the sugar-free part of it – seriously. That means no more sugar in my coffee, no more sweet-tea, no more French fries, no more Thousand Island salad dressing, and tragically, no more Zax sauce.
In an effort to be dietary, last night I decided on five chicken fingers for dinner. No fries. No Texas toast. No slaw. Just the chicken fingers and a tub of Zax sauce, which I'd have to be happy with, because technically that's on my list, too.
I dipped sparingly of the five fingers. I needed to behave. As I get older my body will be less and less forgiving than it is right now, and right now it's not very forgiving.
When I finished my chicken fingers I noticed I still had half my Zax sauce remaining. What to do, what to do?
Well, not to go all big league on you with another cliché, but "Waste not, want not."
I "faced" the little container of Zax sauce, which means when you face something you do your level best to try and cram your face inside the particular object in question.
I lapped up the rest of that sauce like a kitten to cream.
Another saying: "In order to succeed greatly one must be prepared to fail greatly."
Last night I failed greatly on my diet when it came to that tub of Zax sauce.
I can feel the pounds melting away already.

"This is a really cute card! I stayed with basic paper - it was fine! Printing was on point. I had a lot of wording to squeeze in. Heard from the reviewer right away - she was very helpful. I would order from these guys again!"
"I wanted an invitation for my husband's 60th birthday, that I knew he would be comfortable with. While this invitation is more on the formal side it reflects his interest in wine and his taste for more classic styles. I was so happy to find it was an option! The paper and envelope are very nice and I'm glad I didn't pay for an upgrade. The rush service went as planned. The return address printing on the envelopes appears to be limited to two lines. If you live in a multiple dwelling this could be a problem."
"The paper was excellent quality & thick stock. The text print was great & the customer service superb. The colors & design of the card were great so I didn't change that. I appreciated the free review & normal etiquite changes. Although this was seen originally for a birthday celebration, it was able to be changed/personalized for a wedding rehearsal dinner since it followed the theme. I was unable to find anything like this with other print businesses."
"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"
"I found the perfect invitation for my mother's 80th birthday celebration. By changing the font to red, her favorite color, this "Holiday" card transformed into a festive November "Splash of Red" party invite. The scroll pattern attracts the eye and the card stock is firm with a textured quality when touched. The Customer Service Associate was attentive to my needs and the design staff ensured the content was formatted to my specifications. Due to the square size of the cards, additional postage was required, but it was no problem.The package arrived quickly and I was able to mail off the invites promptly. I received compliments on the look & style of the card. A big thumbs up to Wedding Paper Divas!"

The UK Corporate Governance Code (FRC 2012) is the main source of guidance as to how this sensitive relationship should be addressed. It does this in two ways – firstly by setting out what issues relating to the external auditor and the external audit process the committee should consider, and secondly what issues concerning the external audit the committee should report on externally to the members.
Using examples drawn from current practice, the guidance explores how a small sample of FTSE 100 company audit committees address the external audit aspects of the reporting responsibilities assigned to them by the UK Corporate Governance Code (FRC 2012). The guidance should of particular interest to members of corporate audit committees as they approach the task of framing their next report.
At the time of writing, it appears likely that the provisions of the 2012 Code will be further updated to include the proposals of the UK Competition Commission issued in October 2013 – these proposals are intended to further underpin the independent nature of the auditor/audit client relationship. Both the existing FRC requirements and the new proposals are summarised in the paper.
ACCA's Director of Special Projects, Roger Adams said: 'Framing these reports will always be a challenge. There is a fine line between providing excessive detail and delivering a succinct summary of the most significant issues. Likewise, the issues surrounding the potential impairment of auditor independence via length of service or volume of non-audit services provided, gives continuing grounds for debate. We hope that the guidance issued today and the worthy examples it contains will serve to improve the quality of audit committee reporting generally across the FTSE.'
Mr Adams continued: 'The FRC has recently drawn attention to the need for Audit Committee Chairs to pay attention to the qualitative aspects of their reports as well as to the more factual aspects. We hope that these studies will assist Audit Committee Chairs in delivering reports which are more attuned to user requirements.'
The 'real world' disclosures selected to illustrate current practice in the ACCA study were drawn from a number of FTSE 100 companies shortlisted for one or more categories in the 2013 PwC Building Public Trust Awards. The examples are not necessarily 'best practice' but should be seen as illustrative of the way in which audit committees are trying to fulfil their responsibilities under the 2012 edition of the UK CG Code. The analysis shows that the companies studied are responding well to the challenge of providing investors with information about significant financial statement issues considered by the committee and also with more precise data illustrating the independent or arm's length nature of the relationship between auditor and auditee.
A follow-up paper will be published later this year by ACCA examining if and how audit committee reports issued in the first half of 2014 are tackling the new challenges posed by the proposals from the Competition Commission and the new guidance issued by the FRC.

Notes to editors
An FRC press release dated 31 January 2014 reinforces the need for Audit Committees to pay more attention to the qualitative aspects of their reporting. The FRC suggests that when drafting their reports, Audit Committee Chairs should ensure that they are:
- demonstrating ownership and accountability by personalising the reporting;
- being specific to the company and to the current year;
- saying what was actually done. Reports should depict the specific activities during the year and their purpose, using active, descriptive language;
- disclosing judgement calls made for the year, and the sources of assurance and other evidence drawn upon to satisfy the committee of the appropriateness of the conclusion;
- considering the audience when describing issues, their context, policies, processes, conclusions and their consequences for the company and its reporting; and,
- considering where in the annual report information should be best placed, avoiding repetition.
- ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is the global body for professional accountants. We aim to offer business-relevant, first-choice qualifications to people of application, ability and ambition around the world who seek a rewarding career in accountancy, finance and management.

Yamaha Viking receives mixed reviews
June 13, 2013
Filed under News, Top Stories
When the Yamaha Viking was unveiled in front of an audience of 2,200, consisting mostly of dealers, there wasn't the raucous cheering and applause that can often come from a consumer launch, but what followed was a lot of shifting and neck craning as dealers tried to get a better look at the UTV soon to hit their showrooms.
When the dealers got a better look in the display area at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the reviews were mostly positive, though some were disappointed the reveal wasn't of a more groundbreaking machine. What stuck with dealers, though, was the fact that Yamaha is moving forward, as the company is not only going with a new model in 2014, but plans one for each of the next five years.
The Viking, with its 686cc powerplant and three-person seating, is aimed at the farming community, as well as hunters and other side-by-side enthusiasts.
"It's exactly what Yamaha needs. It is going to probably do what the Rhino did for us years ago," Chris Creel of Laurel Yamaha in Laurel, Miss., said about the Viking.
The facets that resonated with the dealers were the three-person cab, the versatility of a utility/recreation model and the $11,499 price point, unchanged from the base 2013 Rhino.
"I think between the price, and they added features to it, it's going to be a good machine, it really will," said Arlen Mickelsen of Superior Outdoor Power in Superior, Neb.
Yamaha developed a combination utility and recreation side-by-side meant to go head-to-head with the likes of the Rhino because that's where they see the market growing most.
"If you look at the side-by-side industry, and you look at the size of the industry, still the biggest market is more that utility-type customer, but they're not just using it for utility, they also use it to go hunting and recreation riding, so we're trying to make a product that's going to cover all the hunting aspects, all the recreation and do the utility as well," Mike Martinez, vice president of Yamah's ATV/SxS Group told Powersports Business.
Though dealers overall seemed happy with the new model, online reviews from consumers were more mixed. Since the Tuesday night release, Yamaha has gotten a bitter taste from some enthusiasts who panned the new model in enthusiast forums and on the Yamaha Outdoors Facebook page.
In a forum discussing the new Yamaha Viking on utvunderground.com, one participant said, "I understand their position, but thought they would have built something a little closer to both sides of the industry. At least put something in it other than that tired Raptor motor … very disappointed."
While many comments are critical of the Viking, some were thrilled by the initial details of the new UTV.
"Very excited about seeing this," wrote one Rhino owner. "Definitely built to stomp the [competition]! Can't wait to test drive … it will be nice having my wife and boy all up front with proper leg and headroom!"
From the middle of the road, another commented, "The sport market is dead. If you guys actually saw the market shares you would see for yourselves that, yeah, they are cool, but aren't huge sellers. I would take this same power plant that is reliable over any Polaris any day … I am disappointed they didn't come out with a bigger [engine], but that is the only downside to this machine."
With a new chassis, styling and features — including an industry-exclusive third bucket seat — the Georgia-built 2014 Viking "was designed and engineered as a robust and high-capacity utility vehicle" according to the Yamaha press release.
With some modifications that claim added power mimicking some 800-class engines, the 686cc single-cylinder four-stroke that powered the Rhino throughout its production run is the Viking's sole engine choice. Other changes over the Rhino include a more powerful cooling system, adjustable handholds, optional power steering and four-wheel drive controlled by an automotive-style rotary dial selector.
While it remains to be seen what the consumer and dealer reaction will be to the Viking, Yamaha is getting a first-hand taste of what can happen on social media and website forums where everybody has a voice, and the loudest often rise to the top.

Courses: Multivariate Statistics (PSYCB502001)
Spring 2012
Class Number: 1341
This course is designed to introduce students to advanced statistical techniques that are becoming increasingly important in developmental, clinical and school psychology research. We focus on understanding the advantages and limitations of common multivariate analytic techniques that permit simultaneous prediction of multiple outcomes. Emphasis is placed on helping students critically evaluate applications of these techniques in the literature and the utility of applying these techniques to their own work. Topics covered include path modeling, ways of analyzing data collected over multiple points in time (e.g., a growth curve capturing change in a developmental variable during childhood), confirmatory factor analysis, and measurement models. Students use existing data sets to gain experience with statistical software that can be used for multivariate analyses.

- Genome-wide multi-parametric analysis of H2AX or γH2AX distributions during ionizing radiation-induced DNA damage response (2013)
- Background: After induction of DNA double strand breaks (DSBs), the DNA damage response (DDR) is activated. One of the earliest events in DDR is the phosphorylation of serine 139 on the histone variant H2AX (gH2AX) catalyzed by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases-related kinases. Despite being extensively studied, H2AX distribution[1] across the genome and gH2AX spreading around DSBs sites[2] in the context of different chromatin compaction states or transcription are yet to be fully elucidated. Materials and methods: gH2AX was induced in human hepatocellular carcinoma cells (HepG2) by exposure to 10 Gy X-rays (250 kV, 16 mA). Samples were incubated 0.5, 3 or 24 hours post irradiation to investigate early, intermediate and late stages of DDR, respectively. Chromatin immunoprecipitation was performed to select H2AX, H3 and gH2AX-enriched chromatin fractions. Chromatin-associated DNA was then sequenced by Illumina ChIP-Seq platform. HepG2 gene expression and histone modification (H3K36me3, H3K9me3) ChIP-Seq profiles were retrieved from Gene Expression Omnibus (accession numbers GSE30240 and GSE26386, respectively). Results: First, we combined G/C usage, gene content, gene expression or histone modification profiles (H3K36me3, H3K9me3) to define genomic compartments characterized by different chromatin compaction states or transcriptional activity. Next, we investigated H3, H2AX and gH2AX distributions in such defined compartments before and after exposure to ionizing radiation (IR) to study DNA repair kinetics during DDR. Our sequencing results indicate that H2AX distribution followed H3 occupancy and, thus, the nucleosome pattern. The highest H2AX and H3 enrichment was observed in transcriptionally active compartments (euchromatin) while the lowest was found in low G/C and gene-poor compartments (heterochromatin). Under physiological conditions, the body of highly and moderately transcribed genes was devoid of gH2AX, despite presenting high H2AX levels. gH2AX accumulation was observed in 5' or 3' flanking regions, instead. The same genes showed a prompt gH2AX accumulation during the early stage of DDR which then decreased over time as DDR proceeded. Finally, during the late stage of DDR the residual gH2AX signal was entirely retained in heterochromatic compartments. At this stage, euchromatic compartments were completely devoid of gH2AX despite presenting high levels of non-phosphorylated H2AX. Conclusions: We show that gH2AX distribution ultimately depends on H2AX occupancy, the latter following H3 occupancy and, thus, nucleosome pattern. Both H2AX and H3 levels were higher in actively transcribed compartments. However, gH2AX levels were remarkably low over the body of actively transcribed genes suggesting that transcription levels antagonize gH2AX spreading. Moreover, repair processes did not take place uniformly across the genome; rather, DNA repair was affected by genomic location and transcriptional activity. We propose that higher H2AX density in euchromaticcompartments results in high relative gH2AXconcentration soon after the activation of DDR, thus favoring the recruitment of the DNA repair machinery to those compartments. When the damage is repaired and gH2AX is removed, its residual fraction is retained in the heterochromatic compartments which are then targeted and repaired at later times.
- Heavy ions and X-rays in brain tumor treatment : a comparison of their biological effects on tissue slice cultures (2009)
- Background: In this interdisciplinary project, the biological effects of heavy ions are compared to those of X-rays using tissue slice culture preparations from rodents and humans. Advantages of this biological model are the conservation of an organotypic environment and the independency from genetic immortalization strategies used to generate cell lines. Its open access allows easy treatment and observation via live-imaging microscopy. Materials and methods: Rat brains and human brain tumor tissue are cut into 300 micro m thick tissue slices. These slices are cultivated using a membrane-based culture system and kept in an incubator at 37°C until treatment. The slices are treated with X-rays at the radiation facility of the University Hospital in Frankfurt at doses of up to 40 Gy. The heavy ion irradiations were performed at the UNILAC facility at GSI with different ions of 11.4 A MeV and fluences ranging from 0.5–10 x 106 particles/cm². Using 3D-confocal microscopy, cell-death and immune cell activation of the irradiated slices are analyzed. Planning of the irradiation experiments is done with simulation programs developed at GSI and FIAS. Results: After receiving a single application of either X-rays or heavy ions, slices were kept in culture for up to 9d post irradiation. DNA damage was visualized using gamma H2AXstaining. Here, a dose-dependent increase and time-dependent decrease could clearly be observed for the X-ray irradiation. Slices irradiated with heavy ions showed less gamma H2AX-positive cells distributed evenly throughout the slice, even though particles were calculated to penetrate only 90–100 micro m into the slice. Conclusions: Single irradiations of brain tissue, even at high doses of 40 Gy, will result neither in tissue damage visible on a macroscopic level nor necrosis. This is in line with the view that the brain is highly radio-resistant. However, DNA damage can be detected very well in tissue slices using gamma H2AX-immuno staining. Thus, slice cultures are an excellent tool to study radiation-induced damage and repair mechanisms in living tissues.
- Nanolesions induced by heavy ions in human tissues: experimental and theoretical studies (2012)
- The biological effects of energetic heavy ions are attracting increasing interest for their applications in cancer therapy and protection against space radiation. The cascade of events leading to cell death or late effects starts from stochastic energy deposition on the nanometer scale and the corresponding lesions in biological molecules, primarily DNA. We have developed experimental techniques to visualize DNA nanolesions induced by heavy ions. Nanolesions appear in cells as "streaks" which can be visualized by using different DNA repair markers. We have studied the kinetics of repair of these "streaks" also with respect to the chromatin conformation. Initial steps in the modeling of the energy deposition patterns at the micrometer and nanometer scale were made with MCHIT and TRAX models, respectively.

The subject title says it all. To listen to some GOP'ers talk, you'd think socialism was Communism.

Planned economies fail when the planners estimate wrongly what people will buy. The planners don't pay for their mistakes; the taxpayers do.
Unplanned economies succeed when producers estimate correctly what people will buy. When they estimate wrongly, they pay for their mistakes. When they estimate correctly, they profit.
Methinks America has too much corporate welfare to be called an unplanned economy.
Methinks America has too much corporate welfare to be called an unplanned economy.
Absolutely true. When you (as a business owner) can be bailed out for the consequences of a poor decision, you are not living in a totally free market. Such bailouts have all sorts of deleterious effects on the rest of the market (including actually encouraging people to engage in risky behavior since they can't actually lose money when the downside happens--this includes everything from reckless investing to lending on the corporate end, but there is also a lot of individual behavior that qualifies). I note though that when this sort of thing happens and the bailouts begin, the "free market" (that we don't actually have) gets the blame for the consequences of the non-free-market part of the system.
Hi Tom
This is a common belief.
Planned economies fail when the planners estimate wrongly what people will buy. The planners don't pay for their mistakes; the taxpayers do.
This is not what the data shows, however. Planning by itself doesn't amount to much.

Hey Unseen,
Data coming out of the USSR since its ceremonious collapse showed some interesting things:
1.) State planning, by itself, was not indicated as a cause of the economic collapse of the Soviet Union
2.) "Public" ownership, by itself, was not indicated as a cause of the economic collapse of the Soviet Union
3.) Lack of incentive to profit from financial productivity was the primary causative factor in the failure of the Soviet economy.
This is backed up by the experience in the PRC which shows that as long as you address item 3, it works pretty well. The PRC has had one of, if not the, most rapid increase in GDP for several decades running. Their aging population wil cause far more problems than socialism.
Also, Marxism vice Marxism-Lenninism places no premium on how the planning is done. There is no reason why that can't be done in a representative form of government. As a distinction, in the Soviet Union Marxism-Lenninism was an ideology of exported socialism, not dictatorshp. That was Stalin's idea (and Lenin's too as long as he ruled). Vanilla Marxism just refers to an emphasis on Surplus value and the economics of the bourgoise and proletariat.

You left out probably the #1 cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union. It attempted to achieve military parity with the United States which was so expensive it drained the economy.
And where did America get the money to build a military that would frighten the Soviets into draining their economy?
While Reagan borrowed/stole it from our offspring, Repubs were attacking Dems for taxing and spending.
Despite my angry letters to Dems, they were too wimpy to attack Repubs for borrowing and spending. Finally, deciding that Dems were helping Repubs spend the money they'd borrowed/stolen, I stopped my letters.
Yea, and you might wonder if it bankrupted us, too. We spent an awful amount of money, human resources and lives on that (public myth) so-called "cold war". Oh dang it, I said it. ;-)

"...but the intention is not evil by any means."
Unhappily, some idealists are so committed to improving the world THEIR WAY, that they lose patience and and either imprison or kill those who oppose them. Think Hitler, Stalin, Idi Amin, and others. Idealists all.
Notice, I did not put Marx on the above list. Some or many capitalists are paranoid.
And this, some GOP'ers say socialism is Communism.
A few even say democracy is socialism. Real democracy (not the seriously limited American kind) might lead to a form of socialism: employee ownership of their workplaces.

Hey UInseen,
I think you can add United Airlines to that ... ?
- kk
There are a few more.
A book published five years ago claimed that employees own more than eleven thousand American companies. I was scanning the book at the library and was so UNsurprised that I didn't bother to note the title or author.
While living in SF 20 years ago and browsing a bookstore, I found a directory of northern CA companies owned by their employees. I didn't look for the number of such companies.
In the early 1970s, an edition of Harvard Business Review cited two advantages of employee ownership; it's kinder to the environment and there's less employee theft.

The Antichrist is the Prince of the power of the air.It's a spiritual war.
Would I be incorrect to say that the WIND is Jehovah?
Just a question Nathan, just what are you saying [carnal] mind is?
I don't see it quite that way . . .the only battle that I encounter is not against that which is on the outside but instead, that which is within.3For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 7Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? if any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. This "war" as you call it is not against demons and devils. it's our own mind. Where to imaginations come from? What part of us exalts itself against the intimacy, the revelation, the truths of God? Then he ties that in with taking captive every "thought". So for me, the battle is not about me putting on armor to fight people of another opinion, or demons or devils. My worst enemy isn't "out there" . . .it's between my ears. Overcome the mind, overcome the man.
Nathan,I have a couple of questions, things that don't seem to followIf all men are seen as spirit, and in adam all die, the old man, earthy man, then do we have old spirit vs new spirit? Is not the old man the man of sin/ antichrist? if so then why is that man seen as a soul, not spirit if that man is adam?I get esau, ishmael being old man, but they are men and are listed under the woman/soul dept.The serpent has seed, wouldn't that make it a spirit?How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop? maybe I'm trying to take the analogy too far?

Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I have owned a pair of these boots for five years and I absolutely love them! They took only a couple days of riding to break in and they are comfortable and durable. I wear them in shows and in the barn, they are easy to clean with a little bit of leather polisher and they have the certain classic look that I love. Overall they are a great western boot, that I would recommend (and have) to anyone.
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
Although it may not be the prettiest it definitely is very comfortable to wear!
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I wear boots all day everyday. I have had every kind, and Ariats are by far my favorite. This will be my third pair of this specific boot. If I wear another boot or tennis shoe, by the end of the day I can't wait to take them off and put on my Heritage boots, so my feet won't hurt. I will say mine only last maybe 2-3 years from constant wear. Love them!
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I have gone through 2 or 3 pairs of Ariat's over the years and they are undoubtedly the most comfortable boots I've ever worn in my life. They get more comfortable with wear. I could walk 5 miles in these things! I'll never own another pair of boots unless they are Ariat's.
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I've worn boots all my life and until I started wearing Ariats, I went through a pair of boots every single year. I bought this exact boot 8 years ago and they are still the only one I wear. I wear them nearly everyday. I must admit that I haven't taken the best care of them (I don't tend to clean them off after being out in the pens) and they are just starting to crack. But I haven't had any repairs needed - these are the perfect boot.
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I am extremely pleased with the product and I would certainly recommend ariat ropers to any prospective purchasers. My only regret is that I would dearly love to purchase a pair of ropers is "marbled brown" but they do not appera to be available.
Comments about Ariat Women's Heritage Western Boots:
I've owned my Arait ropers for over four years and I love them. I wear them over 15 hours a day and my feet never hurt. I don't know about you guys but my money doesn't grow on trees and I've probably saved at least $100 becasue I have never had to resole these boots. Another great thing is that they sell the insoles seperately! I buy them for my other brand boots just so that I can have the comfort of my Ariats. They are so easy to take of to. I work 11 hours a day and I'm a mom so I don't have alot of down time. I simply condition and water proof them once a month and thats it. I've had several friends and family members also buy them because I just won't shut up about them. I saw some really cute sandals that they make and I'm going to buy them for the summer!!! Ariat Rocks!!!!!!
