"Unfortunately, this recipe was not successful for me. The dough was WAY too sticky that it was impossible to do anything with. We had to add a ton of flour to make it workable, and the taste did suffer a bit in the end. They are OK, but definitely not great :( If there are any tips on how to make this better, I'd love to hear though!"

Research Summary
Nahum Sonenberg is conducting research on the mechanism and control of translation initiation in eukaryotes in health and disease. He is investigating the role that translational control plays in development; learning and memory; microRNA function; and the dysregulation of translation in cancer, autism, neurodegenerative disease, and virus infections.
The control of eukaryotic protein synthesis occurs predominantly at the initiation level, which under most circumstances is the rate-limiting step in translation. Translation initiation refers to a series of reactions that culminate in the recruitment of the 80S ribosome to the mRNA. This process begins with recognition of the m7GpppN cap structure (5′ cap), which is present at the 5′ end of all nuclear-transcribed mRNAs, by the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4F (eIF4F). eIF4E is the 5′-cap-binding subunit of the heterotrimeric eIF4F complex. eIF4F also contains the RNA helicase eIF4A, which unwinds the secondary structure in the 5′ UTR of the mRNA, and the scaffolding protein eIF4G, which binds eIF4E, eIF4A, eIF3, and the poly(A)-binding protein (PABP). eIF3 binds the ribosome directly to form the 43S preinitiation complex. This complex scans the mRNA until it encounters an AUG start codon to initiate translation. PABP binds to the 3′ poly (A) tail of the eukaryotic mRNAs, and because of its simultaneous interaction with eIF4G, it brings about the circularization of the mRNA to promote translation.
Because eIF4E is the least abundant initiation factor, the cap-recognition step is rate limiting for translation and a major target for regulation. eIF4E quantity and activity are controlled at many levels, including transcription, mRNA stability, phosphorylation, and interactions with several binding partners, such as the family of 4E binding proteins (4E-BPs). 4E-BPs can directly compete with eIF4G for binding to eIF4E and prevent eIF4F assembly, thus impairing cap-dependent translation initiation. Two major signaling pathways, mTOR and MAPK, regulate eIF4E activity and consequently translation. Thus, translational control via eIF4E constitutes a convergence point for signaling pathways to control important physiological functions such as cell growth and proliferation, development, learning and memory, and metabolic processes. The objectives of my research are to answer fundamental mechanistic questions regarding the translational machinery and its regulation in health and disease.
Translational Control of Cancer
Control of translation plays an important role in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation. Several translation initiation factors are either overexpressed or their activity is dysregulated in human tumors. In addition, overexpression of several initiation factors in cells and mice engenders malignant transformation. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, which is frequently deregulated in cancer, is a major pathway affecting the activity of translation factors. Key initiation factors, which are controlled by the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, and are implicated in cancer, include the mRNA 5′-cap-binding protein, eIF4E, and its partners eIF4A and eIF4G. The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK (MAPK) pathway, which is also deregulated in cancer, mediates the phosphorylation of eIF4E on Ser209 that is required for efficient transformation by eIF4E. We generated eIF4E "knockin" mice in which Ser209 was mutated to alanine. These mice are resistant to prostate cancer induced by PTEN deletion, as well as cancers induced by other means. The components of eIF4F have been recently targeted for cancer therapy with either small molecules or antisense approaches.
Translational Control in Learning and Memory
Studies on learning and a variety of forms of synaptic plasticity have revealed an absolute requirement of mRNA translation for learning and memory. The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway plays a critical role in synaptic plasticity and memory. To explore the role of translation initiation in hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) and learning and memory, we generated knockout (KO) mice for 4E-BP2, which is the predominant 4E-BP isoform in the brain. 4E-BP2 KO mice are impaired in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory tasks. It has been postulated that hyperconnectivity of neuronal circuits resulting from increased synaptic protein synthesis causes autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). In addition, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is strongly implicated in ASDs via upstream signaling molecules. Therefore, we are studying the involvement of 4E-BP2 in ASDs.
We are also studying the role that the poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) plays in learning and memory. The translational repressor PABP-interacting protein 2A (PAIP2A), an inhibitor of PABP, is degraded in stimulated neurons. Paip2a KO mice exhibit a lowered threshold for the induction of sustained long-term potentiation and an enhancement of long-term memory in contextual fear conditioning and Morris water maze tasks after weak training. Translation of several mRNAs, whose products are critical for memory consolidation and maintenance, is enhanced in the hippocampus of Paip2a KO mice. Thus, activity-dependent degradation of PAIP2A relieves translational inhibition of memory-related genes and establishes PAIP2A as a pivotal translational regulator of synaptic plasticity and memory.
Mechanism of MicroRNA Action
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) inhibit mRNA expression in general by base pairing to the 3' UTR of target mRNAs and consequently inhibiting translation and/or initiating poly(A) tail deadenylation and mRNA destabilization. We established a mouse Krebs-2 ascites extract that faithfully recapitulates the miRNA action in cells. We demonstrated that the let-7 miRNA inhibits translation of reporter mRNA at the initiation step. Translation inhibition is subsequently consolidated by let-7-mediated deadenylation, which requires both the PABP and the CAF1 deadenylase, which interact with the let-7 miRNA-loaded RNA-induced silencing complex (miRISC). Importantly, we demonstrated that GW182, a core component of the miRISC, directly interacts with PABP via its C-terminus and that this interaction enhances miRNA-mediated deadenylation. The miRISC binds the deadenylation machinery independently of PABP via the CNOT1 subunit of the CNOT-CCR4 deadenylase complex. We are studying how miRISC recruits the deadenylation and translation-suppression machinery in a PABP-independent manner.

The Breakdown On Music Streaming Service, Spotify
Spotify is a huge music streaming service that just launched here in the U.S. after much success abroad. The music is composed of underground and mainstream labels and brings the best of both worlds.
It differs from Pandora (Internet Radio Station) in a number of ways. Firstly, you can freely search for a song out of a database of 15 million tracks, rather than randomly listen and hope for a song you like to pop up, as how Pandora currently works.
Not to hate on Pandora though, the Music Genome Project is very complex and its what makes Pandora so great, because relevant songs are played based on specific qualities of music.
But with Spotify, being able to access whatever song you want, directly from the cloud, is something that cannot go unnoticed. Now all this comes at a price, and for $5 a month you can get unlimited streaming from a laptop or a PC.
If you want to listen to Spotify on your mobile device, it'll cost ya double the price and you will only get about 20 hours of music listening per month.
Not only is it similar to iTunes, but you can also take your favorite tunes on a social level. Now, even though this is a music streaming service, I want to remind you that you will not be able to download any of the songs you listen to. This is very much like a cheap version of XM Radio, except much much better. See the video to learn how to install Spotify on Linux Ubuntu (a less common operating system).

Podgorica ( ; Montenegrin Cyrillic: Подгорица), lit. "under the small hill") is the capital and largest city of Montenegro. In contemporary history, the city was also known as Titograd from 1946 to 1992 during the existence of SFR Yugoslavia.
Podgorica's favourable position at the confluence of the Ribnica and Morača rivers and the meeting point of the fertile Zeta Plain and Bjelopavlići Valley has encouraged settlement. The city is close to winter ski centres in the north and seaside resorts on the Adriatic Sea.
The city's population was 156,169 in the 2011 census. The Podgorica Municipality contains 10.4% of Montenegro's territory and 29.9% of its population. It is the administrative centre of Montenegro and its economic, cultural and educational focus.
Podgorica is at the crossroads of several historically important routes, near the rivers Zeta, Morača, Cijevna, Ribnica and Sitnica, in the valley of Lake Skadar and near the Adriatic Sea, in fertile lowlands with favourable climate. The earliest human settlements were in prehistory: the oldest physical remains are from the late Stone Age. In the Illyrian age, the area between the Zeta and Bjelopavlići valleys was occupied by two Illyrian tribes, the Labeates and the Docleats. The population of the city was 8,000–10,000, in which all core urban issues were resolved. The high population density (in an area of about radius) was made possible by the geographical position, favourable climate and economic conditions and by the defensive positions that were of great importance at that time.
From the 5th century AD, with the arrival of the first Slavic and Avar tribes and the beginning of the break-up of the Roman Empire, the area bore witness to many noteworthy events. With time, the fortifications ceased their function and new towns were built. Slavic groups in the area were in constant war with Byzantium and tended to establish a new state. The result was establishment of a new settlement that was probably named after the Ribnica River on whose banks it was built. The first mention of Ribnica is during the rule of the Serbian royal family of the Nemanjići. The importance of Ribnica was its position as crossroads in communications with the west. In occupying these areas, the Slavs created a new state and developed their own culture and art, acceptable to the mediaeval church and feudal class.
The name Podgorica was first mentioned in 1326 in a court document of the Kotor archives. The city was economically strong: trade routes between Dubrovnik and the State of Nemanjici, well developed at that time, were maintained via the road that led to Podgorica through Trebinje and Nikšić. As a busy crossroads, Podgorica was a vibrant regional centre of trade and communication. This boosted its development, economic power, military strength and strategic importance.
The Ottoman capture of Podgorica in 1474 interrupted its economic, cultural and artistic development. Podgorica became a kaza of the Sanjak of Scutari in 1479. The Ottomans built a large fortress in Podgorica, and the existing settlement, with its highly developed merchant connections, became the main Ottoman defensive and attacking bastion in the region. At the beginning of 1474 there were informations about intention of Ottoman sultan to rebuild Podgorica and Baleč and settle them with 5,000 Muslim families (most of Slav or Albanian origin) in order to establish an additional obstacle for cooperation of Principality of Zeta and Venetian Shkodër. The fortified city, with towers, gates and defensive ramparts, enabled the Ottomans to resist all attacks. In 1864, Podgorica became a kaza of the Scutari Vilayet called Böğürtlen 'blackberry'. It was also known as Burguriçe in Albanian.
The Berlin Congress in 1878 annexed Podgorica to Montenegro, marking the end of four centuries of Ottoman rule, and the beginning of a new era in the development of Podgorica and of Montenegro. The city developed quickly and became a strong marketplace. The first forms of capital concentration were seen. In 1904, Zetska savings bank, the first significant financial institution, was formed. It would soon grow into Podgorička bank. Roads were built to all neighbouring towns and, in 1902, a tobacco plant became Podgorica's first significant commercial company.
World War I marked the end of dynamic development for Podgorica, by then the largest city in the newly proclaimed Kingdom of Montenegro. Podgorica was occupied, as was the rest of the country, by Austria-Hungary from 1916 to 1918. After the liberation by the allies in 1918, a controversial Podgorica Assembly was held at Podgorica Tobacco Monopoly building. The assembly marked the end of Montenegrin statehood, as Montenegro was merged with Serbia and incorporated in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. Between the two world wars, the population of Podgorica was about 13,000.
Podgorica suffered heavily during World War II; the city was bombed over 70 times throughout the course of the war and razed to the ground, causing the deaths of over 4,100 people. The city was liberated on 19 December 1944. Under the name of Titograd, the city became the capital of the Socialist Republic of Montenegro on 13 July 1946. A period of unprecedented expansion followed, which marked the SFRY (Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) era: the population increased dramatically, the city was heavily industrialised, infrastructure was improved, and health, educational, and cultural institutions were founded. The city rapidly became the commercial, socio-economic, and cultural centre of the country. The progress halted again when the break-up of SFRY began in the 1990s. The name of Podgorica was reinstated on 2 April 1992.
The destructive Yugoslav wars bypassed Montenegro, but the entire country was greatly affected economically. A period of severe economic stagnation lasted throughout the 1990s. The economy began to recover in the early years of the 21st century, when Podgorica began to emerge as a modern, pro-western city. Following the successful independence referendum in May 2006, Podgorica became the official capital of an independent state, boosting its status as a regional centre and raising its economic prospects.
Today Podgorica is the seat of Montenegro's Parliament and government, but not of the country's President, who resides in the former royal capital Cetinje.

glock 30
Hi all, I am new to the glock forum. I just purchased a glock 30 .45 auto. How good is it? Does anyone who owns one give me some feedback?. Just want to know if I made a good choice. Thanks.
Great gun! I had one and carried it for a number of years. One of my dream guns came up for sale/trade, though, and since I didn't have the $$$ I made the trade. I don't regret the trade, but I wish I had had the money instead.
I found it to be extremely accurate for such a small gun, and not that hard to control for a small .45.
If you bought an older one used, you'll probably want grip extensions on your magazines. Newer models are manufactured with the extensions.
Enjoy it!
It is an absolutely amazing sub compact .45!!!
I've fired 6400 rounds through mine in about 40 different mock ups/scenarios and it hasn't jammed, misfired, or given me ANY problems.
What did you buy it for? Concealed Carry? Target shooting?
If you bought it for CC, I recommend getting an Inside-The-Pants holster; either that or a T shirt with sewn in shoulder holster. I use an Uncle Mike's Size 16 ITP holster and is very comfortable; extremely easy pull an hola teeing combined with sturdy hold on the pant line and/or belt.....
I'm new to this website but I have a question about my G30. I have a new G30 never fired and I do clean it at least once a month; I was wondering when I clean it should I go through the whole procedure as if it had been fired or just use lubricating Oil for maintaince . Once again I apologize for using the wrong thread but please help.
If its never been fired you dong need to clean it fully EVERY time. Just wipe it down and out a drop or two into the slide while working the action of it.
WOW congrats on the G30, thats my next purchase when the money is there. From what i hear, you wont have any issues with it. I also hear a lot of people can shoot .45 glocks better than .40 so that should be a plus.
Probably the best overall Glock after the G19. It is regarded by many (Mas Ayoob included) as the most accurate (Long barrel excluded) and reliable Glock ever made. I love mine
I've got 2 G22s and I thought about trading one of them for a G30.. It's OD Green and I heard they don't make them anymore though... Input?
Holy cow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Immediately send it to me. Don't, I repeat, don't fire it. PM me for shipping address!!! :D

DOJ Threatens Apple, Book Publishers with Lawsuit Regarding E-Book Sales
Tiffany Kaiser
March 8, 2012 9:55 AM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Apple and five book publishers were using an agency sales model that raised the prices of e-books
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is planning to launch a lawsuit against Apple and five U.S. publishers for allegedly conspiring to raise e-book prices through an agency sales model.
Last December, the
European Commission opened a formal antitrust investigation
into whether five international e-book publishers had been practicing anti-competitive tactics with the help of Apple and its e-book store iBooks. Shortly after, the U.S. Justice Department climbed aboard the investigation as well.
After investigating the suspicious tactics, the DOJ has now warned Apple and the five book publishers that it plans to sue them for raising the prices of e-books. The five book publishers involved are
Hachette Livre (Lagardère Publishing France), Harper Collins (News Corp., U.S.A.), Simon & Schuster (CBS Corp., U.S.A.), Penguin (Pearson Group, United Kingdom) and Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holzbrinck (owner of inter alia Macmillan, Germany).
Traditionally, publishers sell physical books to retailers for about half of the cover price, which is considered a wholesale model. Retailers then had the power to sell those books to customers for a lower price if they wanted to.
However, the e-book industry rocked this model and rubbed publishers the wrong way. Amazon started selling best sellers for as low as $9.99 in an effort to encourage Kindle sales. When Apple came along with iBooks, publishers were worried that the tech giant would take over the book industry the way it did the music industry with iTunes.
Apple then struck a deal with publishers in 2010, where they'd settle on an agency model instead. The agency model allowed publishers to set the price of the book and Apple would receive a 30 percent cut. However, publishers were not allowed to let rivals sell
the same book
for a lower price.
According to the DOJ, Apple and the five publishers did this to raise the prices of e-books, which violates federal antitrust laws. The publishers reacted to these claims, saying that the agency model was used to "enhance" competition in the e-book industry by helping e-book sellers to make some money out of the deal.
The DOJ isn't buying this excuse, though. The government is wondering how competition could have increased when prices were increasing.
Apple, the publishers and the DOJ are currently in talks regarding e-book prices. While the DOJ warned Apple and the publishers that it plans to sue them for allegedly conspiring to raise prices, some publishing executives associated with the talks have said that a settlement is being considered. Some solutions that have been passed around included the idea to keep the agency model, but allow booksellers to offer some discounts.
Apple has jumped heavily into the
book selling and publishing business
with the recent launch of iBooks 2, which is the sequel to the iBooks app that provides students with books they need as well as study features, and iBook Author, which is Mac software that allows textbook writers and publishers to create textbooks for the iPad.
Undoubtedly, e-books are an essential part of the iPad experience, and with the announcement of
the iPad 3 release
just yesterday, Apple likely wants to get this DOJ business figured out quickly.

Norwich 2 Wigan 1: Anthony Pilkington catches the eye of Ireland
Having named Wilfried Zaha and Carl Jenkinson in his most recent squad, Roy Hodgson has already shown that he is both willing and able to move quickly when talent is in danger of being claimed by rival nations. In that case the England manager might want to perform a similar manoeuvre with Anthony Pilkington.
The 24-year-old has established himself as a potent force on the left of the Norwich City midfield and his three goals in their past three home league games, including the first in this victory, have helped propel his side up to seventh place in the table.
The former Huddersfield Town man, born in Blackburn and a youth player with Blackburn Rovers and Manchester United, is also in the process of becoming…

You thought this was going to be some observation about the dog Toto and The Wizard of Oz. Nope - it's much better! I find inspiration in all areas of life, but music is one of the greatest. In all honesty, all kinds of music brings me inspiration. Back in the 80's (telling my age now) there was a band called Toto. They had a great song that has an incredible first verse. Though the song is intended to be a love song, it speaks clearly about pursing our dreams, passions and destiny.
Some people live their dreams
Some people close their eyes
Some people's destiny Passes by
There are no guarantees
There are no alibis
Are you living your dream? Are your eyes wide open to the life and opportunities that surround you? Are you letting your destiny passing you by? Are you waiting for some 'guarantee' that you won't experience a failure? Are you making up alibis (excuses) as to why you don't take the first step towards greatness today?

You are welcome. I hope it is an encouragement to you! One of the things we miss out on all too often is a time to reflect and ask ourselves questions. Sometimes those questions can be tough.
Fear is THE limiting factor in achieving our success. If we just look past it and see what is available.
Reflective Friday! Thanks Don.
Those are wonderful words and your message is also wonderful. It's amazing the opportunities we can see if we are open to them and not shut off by fear!

A DORSET teenager who was paralysed in a horror crash stunned doctors when he walked out of hospital.
Sam Barfoot was the victim of a dramatic race accident last October at the Rogers Hill Raceway in Bere Regis.
The 15-year-old, who is from Corfe Mullen, broke his back in seven places and was told that he would never walk again.
The teenager has been racing since he was eight and is a member of Poole & Parkstone Motocross Club.
He underwent a five-hour operation and had two titanium rods, two bolts and 11 screws inserted into his spine.
To the complete shock of his family, friends and doctors, Sam walked out of hospital less than two weeks later.
His mum Dawn told the Echo how she witnessed her son 'fly' off his bike into the air after a jump at 40mph before hitting the ground and 'bouncing more than once'.
She said: "He just ended up in a big hole at the side of the track. The bike landed on top of him. I just kept thinking 'please get up' over and over again but he didn't so his dad and I started to run towards him.
"There was no movement and he was unconscious when his dad got to him."
Emergency services took Sam to Dorset County Hospital.
He had already taken part in a race that day and was leading the way in the second before the crash.
Before the operation, Sam had regained some small movements in his lower legs but surgeons did not expect this to improve.
He was later taken to Southampton Children's Hospital, which specialises in spinal injuries, for an MRI scan and doctors believed he would be in hospital for months.
Sam stunned surgeons when he took his first steps and left hospital just 12 days later. Sam, who attends school on Corfe Hill, and his family thanked staff at the hospital especially Dr Evan Davies, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon.
He is now set to lead a normal, life and is determined to race again one day. But his mum added: "As far as his dad Andy and I are concerned he's not racing again."
With three races to go before the season's end on that Sunday, he still won the championship as he had been so far ahead on points.

Type of Document Dissertation Author Bradley, Charles Author's Email Address firstname.lastname@example.com URN etd-07072009-123333 Title States and State Transitions in Low Mass X-Ray Binaries Degree Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) Department Physics & Astronomy Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Hynes, Robert Committee Chair Frank, Juhan Committee Member Matthews, James Committee Member Tohline, Joel Committee Member Sengupta, Ambar Dean's Representative Keywords
- mass transfer
- black holes
- accretion disks
- binary stars
Date of Defense 2009-06-09 Availability unrestricted AbstractWe investigate the model of a disk/coronal accretion flow into a black hole. We build a numerical code to ascertain whether the inner
regions of an accretion disk in X-ray binaries can transform from a cool standard disk to an advection-dominated flow through the known properties of Coulomb interaction in a two-temperature plasma, taking into account viscous heating, standard radiation processes, and thermal conduction. A hot, diffuse corona covering the whole disk is powered by accretion, but it exchanges energy with the underlying cool disk through radiative interactions and conduction. If the accretion rate is low enough, at some intermediate radius the corona begins to
evaporate the cool disk away, leaving an advective coronal flow to continue towards the hole as consistent with X-ray observations that I
have studied using XMM-Newton and Chandra. We show that if the accretion rate increases sufficiently, complete evaporation does not occur and the cool inner disk remains, proceeding inward to the innermost stable orbit. During spectral transitions an intermediate state has been observed whose nature is unclear, but which shows the presence of cold matter near an X-ray emitting source, along with an additional component that could come from an advective coronal flow. We build a steady-state model that includes these effects and mass exchange between the two flows through evaporation and recondensation during the soft/hard transition and create a "hysteresis" similar to that observed, along with representative spectra for each X-ray state.

I went from definite to 80%. Not because I don't think it will be a good game, I think it will be brilliant, but the fact that it only seems like there are like 6 people interested in getting this. The whole point for me in getting this and MP online racing.
So maybe this thread will put me back at 100%

Januzaj signed a new five year deal at Manchester United
After committing his future to the club in an interview, Adnan Januzaj has officially signed a new five year deal with Manchester United.
The new contract will see him play for the Red Devils until June 2018. The deal was announced on Manchester United's official website.
The 18-year-old impressed in pre-season and also scored two goals on his full Premier League debut against Sunderland.
David Moyes was delighted after Januzaj signed the new contract. "I'm delighted that Adnan has committed his future to United. He is an outstanding talent and has impressed me consistently since I came to United in July. His balance, poise and ability to beat players is truly exceptional for a boy of his age.
"It's great that he recognises that this club, with its tradition for developing young players and giving them a chance on the biggest stage, is the best place for him to be."
Januzaj too was very happy to sign a contract extension, "It's a great thrill to be able to sign for Manchester United. Since arriving here I have always felt like this was the right club for me. This season has been great for me – going on the pre season tour, making my debut in the Community Shield win at Wembley and then breaking into the team at Sunderland – it's like a dream.
"I want to work hard now and establish myself as a Manchester United player."

Hello and welcome to just answer.Is the coolant level in the reservoir low right now?
Please let me know. Thanks,Carguyjosh
It is not uncommon to not see any signs of coolant loss if the leak is very slow.After you have gone through the cooldown process and the system is now refilled, the best way to find the source of the coolant leak is to have the system pressure tested.
A pressure test will reveal the source of the leak and how large a leak it is..
please let me know how everything works out after the cooldown.Thanks, Josh

Just as the Republican Party might have contemplated an end to its wound-licking (the better to gin up its scandal-making machine for President Barack Obama's second term), vanquished Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney proved to be -- for liberals, at least -- the gift that keeps on giving.

text: The 7.9-inch tablet is a good value at $329, and likely will cannibalize some sales of the 9.7-inch larger iPad, especially given pricing levels. It's too early to say whether consumers will choose one over the other, but I suspect more often than not, that will be the case. Apple seems hellbent on expanding its market share and opening up its ecosystem to new users, and the iPad Mini is poised to do that in a big way. The company has reportedly ordered the production of up to 10 million units for the fourth quarter, according to some Asian component suppliers.While this may not be as Earth-shattering as the new iMac that was announced, or the iPad and iPhone when the world first gazed upon them, Apple has done it again. It's put out a premium product, and refused to compromise on quality, while making it sleek and sexy looking. -- Written by Chris Ciaccia in San Francisco, Calif. >Contact by Email.

Online Tool Helps Legally Married, Same-sex Couples Find Deductions,
Credits on Prior-year Returns
SAN DIEGO – Dec. 9, 2013 – A new, online decision tool from Intuit TurboTax® helps legally married, same-sex couples determine whether they're entitled to a bigger tax refund for previously filed returns. Couples can quickly and easily review their prior-year returns and learn whether they have money coming to them. If they choose, they can then file amended federal tax returns for free with TurboTax.
As a result of the recent Supreme Court decision striking down the Defense of Marriage Act, legally married, same-sex couples are now treated as married for federal tax filing purposes. Couples have the choice to go back and amend their last three years tax returns if they would have received a larger federal tax refund by filing a joint tax return.
The process is simple: Taxpayers answer a few questions about income and family to find out what their estimated refund would be have been for 2010, 2011 and 2012 as a married couple filing jointly. Amending is optional and couples who are due a larger federal tax refund can then amend their own federal tax returns at no cost.
For those who want additional help, TurboTax offers an amendment service. Credentialed tax professionals from TurboTax are available to amend federal tax filings from the past three years for just $99 per return.
"The Supreme Court ruling is a milestone in equality in the nation's tax system for those in same-sex marriages," said David Williams, chief tax officer and executive director of the American Tax and Financial Institute at Intuit Turbo Tax. "This can bring a significant financial benefit for some taxpayers who, until this ruling, could not take full advantage of important tax deductions and credits, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, which was available to other married couples. TurboTax makes it easy for married same-sex couples get every dollar they deserve when it comes to their tax refunds."

ONEONTA, N.Y. -- No. 11-ranked Hartwick College defeated visiting Marist College and Siena College by identical 17-10 scores in the Hawks' final regular season games at Moyer Pool. The Hawks finish 25-9 heading into next weekend's CWPA Eastern Championship at Indiana University.
The victories mark the eighth straight year under head coach Alan Huckins that the Hawks have recorded 25 wins or more in a season. The Hawks have 227 victories and just 78 losses under Huckins' direction.
Junior Lisa Bass (Montreal, Quebec) paced Hartwick with eight goals in the two matches. Charlotte Mensink (Nijverdal, Netherlands) and Allyssa Analytis (Montreal, Quebec) each added five goals and Adrienne Holosko (Windsor, Ontario) netted four.
Against the Red Foxes, the Hawks scored four unanswered goals in the first quarter to take control. The Hawks led 8-4 at the half and never led by less than four goals in the final two quarters.
Bass scored six times to lead the Blue and White in the game as they improved to 19-1 against Marist all-time. Analytis scored five times and Jemma Dendy Young (Cape Town, South Africa) and Mensink each contributed a pair of goals. Hartwick goalie Jess Dorman (Auckland, New Zealand) made nine saves in the game.
Six different players registered goals in the first quarter as the Hawks jumped out to a 6-2 lead in the first quarter against Siena. The Hawks led by as many as eight in the second quarter before the Saints trimmed the margin to three, 13-10, in the final period. Hartwick closed out the match scoring the game's final four goals for the final 17-10 score line.
Holosko scored four goals for the Hawks in the game. Mensink and Kristen Wagner (Orange, Calif.) each tallied three times with Bass contributing a pair of scores. Dorman and Hayley Cox (El Segundo, Calif.) shared time in the Hartwick cage. Dorman stopped 10 shots while Cox stopped two.

Feel that BEAT
Went to the gym last night for a workout with my trainer and it definitely wasn't easy! I'm seeing him two more times this week and I know I'm going to feel it. I saw this phrase on the wall when we walked in and it immediately gave me a little motivation so I wanted to share with all of you! I know working out is tough but after you finish your workout, you will feel so much better about life in general.

Virtualized arrays
The traditional SANs of yesteryear are not a whole lot more than very high-performance, network-attached RAID arrays with additional features stapled onto them. Instead of being internal to and accessible by a single server, they're externally located and many servers can share them. However, individual groups of physical disks are still statically formed into RAID arrays that make up a given volume.
If you want to make changes on a traditional SAN -- such as expanding a volume -- you need to assign new physical disk resources to the volume, and the RAID array needs to be extended across the new disks (often a time-consuming process involving significant data reshuffling on physical disks). Similarly, snapshots are usually implemented by dedicating a second volume to hold snapshot data -- a process that can result in a significant write performance hit when snapshots are present.
Virtualized arrays overcome these and many other challenges by layering an additional level of abstraction around the RAID that provides the physical disk redundancy. Instead of dedicating specific disks to an array, many disks are pooled together and each virtual disk is divided into blocks sprinkled across all of them. Though implementations vary from vendor to vendor, the array will typically utilize an internal pointer table to relate the storage block address of a virtual disk as it is presented to the server to the actual physical location on the array's RAID volumes.
This abstraction allows these arrays a great deal of freedom to handle complex operations such as volume expansions, snapshots, and replication. Instead of requiring the designation of a new physical disk to be a member of a given volume and needing to wait for the data to be redistributed, the SAN merely updates its pointer table with the addresses of as-yet unallocated blocks on the physical disks, usually an operation that can be completed instantaneously. Many virtualized SANs also allow you to thin provision virtual disks, a simple matter of waiting to allocate physical blocks to a virtual disk until they're actually written.
Snapshots are handled similarly; instead of needing to designate a separate volume to hold snapshot data, the array simply writes new incoming data into unallocated physical disk blocks and mark the physical blocks they would have replaced as being a members of a snapshot instead of the main virtual disk. Again, this requires no data to be moved on physical disk, which usually results in very little if any performance overhead.
Some virtualized storage arrays even allow you to virtualize storage from other storage devices, essentially allowing them to be managed under the same umbrella. However, support for third-party devices can sometimes be very limited, and there may be a palpable performance hit involved when this capability is leveraged.
Network-based storage virtualization
If you think the abstraction offered by virtualized arrays give storage administrators a lot of flexibility, you haven't seen anything yet. Instead of simply abstracting a virtual disk from the physical disks present within an array, network-based storage virtualization abstracts a virtual disk from the actual device it resides on -- providing a single management interface for an entire organization's storage devices (so long as the virtualization device supports it).

Teen Saves Friend Speeding Van
March 17, 2012 by staff
Teen Saves Friend Speeding Van, Fifteen year old Guo Xiaoqi's quick thinking and selflessness saved her friend's life. When Guo in the green jacket saw a speeding van heading towards them, she pulled her friend out of the road. In the process of doing so, Guo was struck by the van.
The impact sent her flying several feet and the van appeared to hesitate before driving off. Her stunned friend and others tended to the injured teenager until she could be taken to the hospital.
Doctors say Guo suffered a fracture to her pelvic bone as well as injuries to her face, ears and teeth.

T'BOLI DREAMWEAVERS. A T'boli weaver works on her Tinalak cloth in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in Mindanao, Philippines. The Tinalak 'sacred cloth' is the T'boli tribe's most fame product. Each single pattern, according to T'bolis, is dreamed by the weaver, and it comes in three ways: from the ancestors, from one's mother, and from one's own dream. A ceremonial clothing of both men and women, the Tinalak is a deep brown abaca cloth tie-dyed with intricate red and beige designs. Natural vegetable dyes are used to stain the fibres before the cloth is woven.It is exchanged at the time of marriage and is used as a covering during birth to ensure a safe delivery. The T'Boli believe that cutting the cloth will cause serious illness or death. If it is sold, a brass ring is often attached to appease the spirits. The Tinalak Festival, named after a woven cloth popularized by the T'boli tribe, is celebrated in the second week of July.
T'BOLI CHARMS.T'boli women learn to adorn themselves from early childhood. They apply cosmetics and arrange their hair, adorning it with traditional combs which have dangling strings of colored beads. For them, "more is better" when it comes to accessories; they do not wear just one of each type of accessory, but put on all that they can accommodate. Combs aside, they also adorn themselves with earrings, necklaces, girdle (hilot), bracelets, anklets, rings, and of course colourful costumes.
AGE-OLD PRACTICE. Tboli women of Lake Sebu, South Cotabato in Mindanao, are not satisfied with one earring in each ear. The more earrings, the better. Thus their ears are pierced not only on the lobes but also along the outer rim. The women, young or old, have a choice of earrings: kawat (simple brass rings);bketot (round mirror surrounded by colored beads);nomong (chandelier type earrings made of brass links and beads);bkoku (made of triangular shells); and kowol or beklaw (combination of earring and necklace).
THE FACE OF T'BOLI BEAUTY…The T'boli women of South Cotabato's Lake Sebu in Philippines' Mindanao island, stand out for their marked and characteristics penchant for personal adornment, bearing brass jewelry, beads and shells, in their tribal attire.. Among the most well-known of the 18 tribal groups on the island of Mindanao, the T'boli tribe believe that the gods created man and woman to look attractive so that they would be drawn to each other and procreate. Tboli women learn the skills of looking beautiful from an early age. The women weave much of their own cloth, produce many ornaments in brass by the lost-wax technique.
Horses mean a lot to the Tboli tribe of Lake Sebu, Cotabato, and so they are given all the respect and decorations! A man's wealth is judged by the number and quality of his horses and he has to pay for his wives in horses! While horses are quiet a mode of transportation in this mountainous region, they are also trained for horse fights – an essential part of the Tboli culture!

* Gold, silver discussions are in early stage -commissioner
* CFTC looking into the range of index-setting
* Talks not as serious as Libor investigation
By Tom Polansek
BOCA RATON, Fla., March 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission has engaged in "a couple" of conversations about whether the daily setting of gold and silver prices in London is open to manipulation, Commissioner Scott O'Malia said on Thursday.
The agency's look into the situation is "fairly immature in its development," he told reporters at a futures conference in Florida.
The Wall Street Journal, citing unnamed sources, reported on Wednesday that the CFTC was examining various aspects of price-setting, including whether it is sufficiently transparent.
"What was stated in that story was more than I think we're doing," O'Malia said. "I think we've had a couple conversations. We're looking at energy, indexes, prices, how they're set. We'll look at all of the range of index-setting."
The discussions about gold and silver come after the Libor-rigging scandal that exposed widespread manipulation by British banks, including Barclays Plc, of the interest rate-setting benchmark. The scandal has increased global regulators' scrutiny of other money market benchmarks.
Gold prices are set twice daily by five banks via teleconference, while three banks set silver prices. Those fixings are used to determine spot prices for the billions of dollars of the two precious metals traded each day.
"It's safe to say that we're looking at anything that has an index-setting process, but it's not at the same level as the Libor investigation," O'Malia said.

Medical Definition of Microorchidism
Microorchidism: Abnormally small testes. To determine if the testes are too small, a device called an orchidometer is used that permits the testes to be compared to a series of plastic ovals (like miniature American footballs) of differing sizes. Microorchidism is a diagnostic feature, for example, of the Prader-Willi syndrome and certain other multiple malformation syndromes. Microorchidism may also result from shrinkage (atrophy) of the testis due to damage, as from mumps.
The opposite of macroorchidism is microorchidism (abnormally small testes).

Good news, ladies! If you have a "tramp stamp" tattoo, we men really do think you're more attractive. We also think you're a slut, according to a recent study.
The soon-to-be infamous "tramp stamp" study was performed by a team of French researchers from the Université de Bretagne-Sud on the beaches of Brittany during the summers of 2008 and 2009.
It found that men think women with tattoos are more attractive and approachable, and that they are more likely to sleep with them on the first date.
Eleven college-aged women rated the most attractive out of a group of 58 visited the beach 20 times during the summer. These uber-hotties wore temporary "tramp stamp" tattoos half of the time. The other half of the time, their skin was spotless as a newborn baby.
When these women were wearing the tattoos, men were more likely to approach and chat with them. Researchers said that men were also quicker in their approach.
The second part of the experiment was simpler: It involved interviewing a group of over 400 men in their 20s who were on the beaches while the 11 women sunbathed nearby.
They were asked two questions: One, how confident they were that one of the girls would go out on a date with them and two, the likelihood of having sex with one of them on the first date. They were also asked to rate each girl's attractiveness.
The results? The women with the tattoos were more desirable, but also more likely to have sex on the first date.
The study does have its fair share of critics who say that the "tramp stamp" study is incomplete because men were not required to give reasoning as to why they made their choices. Were their selections based on stereotypes? Personal experiences?
The survey also only studied the "tramp stamp," not tattoos in general.
What do you think of the "tramp stamp" study? Is it just stereotype, or do men think that girls with tramp stamps are fun and easy? Sound off!

I'm Drowning in Mail!
So here is a problem we all have, right? Every day we casually pick up a stack of paper and bring it into our homes. We stash it, stick it, pile it up, and cringe every time we walk by it. What is the best way to handle the mail??
First of all, we need to stop thinking of it as "mail". It is really a broad array of communication. Some of it is for our pleasure, some of it requires we follow-up, some of it requires us to pay money. It is actually a VERY DIVERSE collection of material. In this way, it is exactly the same as electronic mail, and the way we tackle both of them should be the same. The key is to separate "sorting" from "acting". Here is an approach to try:
1. Bring the mail into your home only when you have the time to immediately sort it. Don't pick it up when driving in from work or the carpool at the exact time when you need to start dinner or help with homework or whatever. Wait until you have 5 minutes, even if this means the mail sits in the mailbox awhile. It can even sit there overnight if you have more time in the morning.
2. Designate a spot NEAR THE DOOR where you bring the mail in to stop and sort it. DO NOT bring it into the kitchen and plunk it down in the middle of your island. Set up a "sorting station" on a shelf, a cabinet, a table…whatever you can. It doesn't need to be big, but big enough to make a few piles.
3. "Triage" the mail into categories:
4. Next, go ahead and get rid of the "quick hits"… the trash and shred. If you have space, keep both a trash bin (or bin for recycled paper) and a shredder at your sort station….but even if you don't have space, take the time NOW to get rid of these items. It only takes a minute or two when you do it every day.
5. Move the actionable items into files which are labeled for the task at hand. There are MANY WAYS to keep papers which you need to act upon, including a stacking bin with files for each, a hanging file container in a drawer or on the wall, a tickler file which has one folder for each day of the month…this is pretty much a personal decision on what works for you.
That is pretty much all that is needed for the daily sort. The key, of course, is to find a system for following up on the sorted items (a bill-paying system, a time for reading, a time for responding to action items)…but this is a topic for another day.
In terms of email, the same principles apply. You need to "triage" the email at least once a day. Don't get caught in the trap of responding to each email right away. First delete the spam, trash what you don't need, group together emails to read later, to respond to, or to file electronically. If you feel that once a day is insufficient for sorting the email, you may need to do this procedure 2 or 3 times a day. Also, be diligent in unsubscribing. You can move advertising emails into a folder called "unsubscribe" and set aside a designated weekly slot to complete this task.
The key is to separate "sorting" from "acting". YOU CAN DO THIS!

Andrew Ostroy, whose actress wife was strangled after catching laborer burgling her apartment, alleges she would still be alive if the construction company has not hired illegal immigrant.
The husband of murdered filmmaker/actress Adrienne Shelly has won a crucial victory in his legal battle over his wife's death - a judge has ruled evidence heard at her killer's grand jury proceedings can be included in his lawsuit.
Ecuadorian laborer Diego Pillco was jailed for 25 years in 2008 after he was convicted of strangling the "Waitress" director in November 2006 when she caught him trying to burgle her apartment. He had been renovating another apartment in the New York building at the time and Shelly's husband, Andrew Ostroy, subsequently filed a wrongful death suit against the construction company which employed Pillco.
Ostroy alleges his wife would still be alive if bosses at Bradford General Contractors (BGC) hadn't hired an illegal immigrant. Now Ostroy's legal battle has taken a step forward after the judge overseeing the case at New York's Manhattan Supreme Court granted his request to use the minutes from Pillco's grand jury hearings, which are usually kept secret.
Officials at the district attorney's office had opposed the move, insisting the proceedings should "remain secret to protect the identity of witnesses", according to the New York Post. But State Supreme Court Justice Louis York dismissed the challenge and ordered the documents to be handed over.

If you have been having a hard time deciding on a gown style and were as enamored by the gown as most this may be the thing to steal. The gown was sleek and sophisticated with touches of personalization. Bridging the gap between modern and traditional, it's what so many women ask for and have trouble describing. Lace and satin were the fabrics of choice the train was grand without being overbearingly long all of this appearing in a stunning white. For those of you whom like to do things a little off the beaten path, can you imagine how a gown like this would have looked with the white lace top and a colored skirt? Say in a super soft blue?
What about her hair? Oh the half up half down look, it's been the go to for so many brides. And with good reason, whether you are a finicky bride and just can not make a decision. Or just partial to the idea of comfort this best of both worlds hair style can be done in a variety of ways which is way it's so loved. Our only advice is to always take any headpieces including your veil to your beautician prior to the big day for a hair trial. You may find that the style you had been dreaming of will need altered a bit in order to incorporate your accessories.
Your vows are one of those things where many brides are split. Some want to change up the traditional wording a little, some write their own completely while others still keep the traditional vows word for word. For the royal wedding, the vows were modernized and reworded to make the perfect fit for the couple. While there is certainly nothing wrong with reciting the traditional vows it's just as nice to put you own spin on tradition. After all it is a vow you are making to your beloved. What is important here is that you are comfortable and that you feel and agree with everything you are saying.
The maid of honor- was it white or was it almost cream? That is a topic that seems to be up for debate. One thing we know for sure, choosing just one maid of honor may be a good idea. This could help deflect arguments over who stands where etc. by just choosing one person. As far as the color argument goes? Of course we always say do what makes you happy, but if you aren't comfortable with your maid wearing white (and very few of you probably are) then think about a beautiful airy shade of champagne color this should be just as elegant and still keep you in the spotlight.
