Where Jews fear for their future
Solidarity between twin towns in Hungary and Iran has a dark undercurrent, writes Colin Freeman in Tiszavasvari.
As the self-declared ''capital'' of the ultra-nationalist Jobbik Party, Tiszavasvari prides itself on being a showcase for how the whole of Hungary might look one day.
Since winning control of the local council three years ago on a pledge to fight ''gypsy crime'', the party has been on a vigorous clean-up campaign, banning prostitution, tidying the streets, and keeping a watchful eye on the shabby Roma districts at the edge of town.
It even swore in its own Jobbik ''security force'' to work alongside the police, only for the uniformed militia to be banned by the national government.
Yet gypsies are not the only bogeymen that Jobbik has in its sights, as a sign on the green opposite the mayoralty building suggests. Written in both Hungarian and Persian, it proudly announces that Tiszavasvari is twinned with Ardabil, a town in north-west Iran.
On the face of it, there is no obvious reason why a drab rust-belt town in Hungary should seek links to a city in a hardline Islamic Republic more than 3000 kilometres away. But this is no ordinary cultural exchange program. The real purpose of Jobbik's links to Iran is to show their mutual loathing of Israel.
''The Persian people and their leaders are considered pariahs in the eyes of the West, which serves Israeli interests,'' said Marton Gyongyosi, a Jobbik MP and the party's leading foreign policy voice.
''This is why we have solidarity with the peaceful nation of Iran and turn to her with an open heart.''
The scheme is particularly sensitive in Hungarian towns such as Tiszavasvari, where Jews were rounded up and sent to the gas chambers in World War II.
Holocaust archives show a dozen names of Jewish victims from Tiszavasvari, part of the mass extermination program that gave Jews in the Hungarian countryside a one-in-10 chance of survival in 1944. More than 400,000 Hungarian Jews were killed in one of the most intensive anti-Jewish campaigns of the Holocaust. While it was conducted under Nazi occupation, the Hungarian state actively connived.
''You can see Jobbik's true nature through this,'' said Peter Feldmajer, the president of the Federation of Hungarian Jewish Communities, which represents an estimated 100,000 Hungarian Jews. ''They hate the Jewish people, and so does the Iranian government, and that is why they have formed this allegiance. It is a shame for Tiszavasvari, and it hurts the memories of those Jewish people who lived there.''
Such concerns will loom large for delegates of the World Jewish Congress, due to open on Sunday amid tight security in Budapest. The congress normally meets in Jerusalem, but this year it is convening in the Hungarian capital to highlight what its president, Ronald Lauder, describes as a ''dramatic'' rise in anti-Semitism in the country. Much of the blame for that is attributed to Jobbik, which was founded just 10 years ago, yet now represents the third-largest faction in politics, with 47 of 386 parliamentary seats.
Also in Mr Lauder's sights is Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose centre-right Fidesz Party competes for votes with Jobbik and who has been criticised for not taking a firm stance against anti-Semitism.
The Jobbick Party was boosted by a court decision to allow it to hold an anti-Zionist rally on Saturday near Parliament, a decision labelled ''unacceptable'' by Mr Orban.
Jobbik leader Gabor Vona told about 500 demonstrators compensation paid to Holocaust survivors could have been better used, local television reported.
Roughly translated as ''the Movement for a Better Hungary'', Jobbik's appeal has been based partly on confronting problems associated with the country's half-million Roma population, whom many Hungarians see as crime-prone and welfare-dependent.
But as the global financial crisis hit Hungary hard, leaving more than one in 10 jobless, Jobbik revived a folk devil at the opposite end of the social spectrum - the supposedly wealthy, all-controlling Jews. Barely a month now passes without a fresh furore over an anti-Semitic incident.
Jewish leaders have been attacked in the street and cemeteries desecrated. Far-right bikie gangs have held ugly demonstrations known as ''Step on the Gas'' days.
The Hungarian national football association was fined after fans shouted anti-Semitic slogans during a World Cup qualifier.
While verbal abuse has apparently increased, violent incidents are still relatively rare. Mr Feldmajer recalls only about 50 physical attacks in 20 years. And the bootboy image by no means fits all of Jobbik's supporters.
Typical is Sipos Ibolya, 55, a cheerful schoolteacher who is Jobbik's local deputy mayor, insists the twin town with Iran is not borne of anti-Semitism, but simple national self-interest. ''Economically, the Israelis do have too much power in Hungary,'' she said.
Most of Hungary's Jews have an all too well-developed sense of perspective about Jobbik with few in the old Jewish quarter of Budapest planning to take to the streets. Sallai Tunde, 45, a restaurateur whose family was spared Auschwitz by pretending to be Catholics said: ''Jews and gypsies will always be scapegoats in society as long as it exists.''

State Representative Joyce Peppin, R-Rogers, recently introduced legislation that would expedite and complete the Brockton Lane Interchange Project. Peppin's bill, House File 1340, would provide a full access point and additional traffic lanes along the 6.5-mile stretch on Interstate Highway 94 between Maple Grove and Rogers.
"This is among the longest stretches of freeway without an exit in the entire metro area and it is time to get this critical project underway," Peppin said.
Peppin's legislation would appropriate nearly $23 million from the sale of trunk highway bonds to construct a full access point and auxiliary lanes on Interstate Highway 94 just east of the existing Highway 101 overpass.
"Our district has been very fortunate in recent years to experience high levels of job creation and economic expansion, and completing the Brockton Lane Interchange Project is of vital importance to accommodate and promote future growth in Dayton, Rogers and Maple Grove," Peppin explained.
Peppin continued: "This legislation will not only serve to improve congestion and access on I-94 and reduce travel times for commuters in the northwest suburbs, it will also reduce response times for public safety and emergency vehicles and make our communities safer."
Peppin hopes to build upon the hard work undertaken in previous years by former Dayton Mayor Doug Anderson and city council members and staff in both Dayton and Rogers who have spent many hundreds of hours readying plans and communicating the importance of this project to both state and federal policymakers.
"Our State Constitution mentions Transportation as one of the essential areas we are to prioritize in the Legislature. Essential infrastructure projects like the Brockton Lane Interchange will benefit the economy and the lives of Minnesotans, and I look forward to helping it move forward," Peppin concluded.
Representative Peppin encourages constituents to contact her with questions or opinions on any state legislative issue. She may be reached at [email protected] or 651.296.7806. Mail should be sent to Rep. Joyce Peppin, 281 State Office Building, 100 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., St. Paul, MN 55155.

When we left off, my bustle was done and we had noshed on some kick-ass apps and sipped on some delicious bubbly. We were pretty much ready to get the show on the road, which we did, once we got the go-ahead from our venue coordinator, photographers, and videographer. We lined up outside of the Versailles Ballroom, where our guests were already seated, and everyone took their places for the bridal-party entrance. As we were lining everyone up, MOH Long Legs looked at me and said, "Wait, where are we going?" You see, we had opted for a sweetheart table, with our bridal party scattered at various tables around the room, and I hadn't actually given any thought to where they should go once they entered. Thankfully, our venue coordinator was there and told everyone to stand at the edge of the dance floor, in front of our sweetheart table.
OK, so full disclosure: I really wanted an awesome entrance, like the one on Glee, but since our friends weren't exactly on board with the idea, I had to drop it. I did, however, ask everyone to be really high energy. After all, we were really counting on our friends to set the tone for the evening, and we wanted a PARTY…'cause it was 8:30 and the club was jumpin' jumpin'.
We chose Bruno Mars's "Marry You" as our bridal-party entrance song because it is cute and upbeat. The DJ announced BM Tiny and Brother GM first, who opted for the traditional "high school homecoming" style of introduction. Womp womp. As we watched from behind the curtain, I said to Mr. Waterfall "That's not high energy! We said to do high energy! People will think it's going to be a boring wedding!" When we asked them about it the next day, BM Tiny said she froze up once the spotlight was on her; Brother GM said he thought we wanted to "keep it classy."
But there was no time to dwell, because the DJ was already introducing BM Green Eyes and GM of Doom. Considering BM Green Eyes is very shy and hates to dance, she did a great job. That's true love, you guys.
Next up were MOH Long Legs and Best Man Tequila, who winked at me and said, "I got this," as he walked out. And boy did he ever have it. The crowd went nuts and started chanting his name! He sure knows how to get people riled up.
Before long, the DJ was calling out our names. Mr. Waterfall looked at me and said, "You wanted high energy, right, babe?" He grabbed my hand, and we ran into the ballroom to an explosion of cheers and thunderous applause from our closest family and friends.
Is he doing the "Gangnam Style"?
Since we hadn't seen the room before walking in, and the spotlight was on us, we were a little bit disoriented and didn't quite know where to go, but played it off anyway.
We twirled…
And since everyone was still clapping, we did a victory lap around the dance floor before going straight into our first dance.
To see it all in action, take a look at this video! Once again, I'm so glad that we paid for a video. As much as these photos are awesome, every time I look at this video I get the hugest grin on my face! Sorry, I had to block out the names to protect the innocent!

what happens to the paperwork?
when you go in to a store to buy a firearm, they make you fill out the yellow paper that says you're not an alcoholic, wife beating, communist, felon, who wants to buy said weapon for yourself.
what happens to those papers? everyone talks about having worries of being tracked and having the government knowing what weapons you've bought.
but...since the dealer puts on the sheet the make, model and serial number of the weapon you're purchasing...what happens to those papers when the deal is over?
couldn't the government ALREADY be tracking who owns what guns and know where to go if they decide to implement some sort of gun-recall and super strict gun-control law?
The paper is a form 4473. The dealer takes the form, and puts it in his filing cabinet. After 20 years, he can throw them away. If the dealer goes out of business, his records are sent to the ATF for storage.
The info on that form- make, model, serial number, etc etc does not go to the ATF unless the dealer closes. If the ATF is conducting a gun trace as part of a criminal investigation, the maker tells ATF what dealer the gun was shipped to, dealer tells ATF who gun was sold to. Local very busy gun shop where I hang out averages one trace call a year from ATF. They have been in business about 45 years, sell about 50 guns a week.
IMHO, you assume too much competence on the part of a government agency.
Can I play devils advocate for a minute?
So the same agency that forces you to fill out the paper is too stupid to know what to do with it? Maybe we should ditch them? Just sayin...
I have noticed that every time they make the "$5 phone call" the agent on the other end always seems to ask what type of gun is being sold. So it makes sense to me that the agent could simple be imputing the weapon sold to the individual buying and there is the "list".
Just sayin!
There was a period where ATF computerized the old 4473 data. When Congress found out, they ordered ATF to cease, desist and destroy what they had compiled. I believe this was a part of the Gun Control Act of 1968.
They know exactly what to do with it...what Congress told them to do with it.
BTW, when the dealer makes that phone call, it is not to the ATF. And the type firearm given is long gun or other. Different age requirements, y'know.
Here in VA, it is to the VA State Police. We had our own Insta-Check system before the Feds. Other places, it goes to the Fed DOJ records section.
I'm torn by this statement. I can see the benefit of having this information stored yet I don't like the idea of someone storing this information on me.
on some of the car forums I'm on, guys will say things like "yea, I got guns, but I ain't gonna tell ya what I got on the public internet...big brother might be watching and then he'll know where to come when it's time to confiscate weapons"
while I think something like that would never happen, it certainly is possible as time marches on and they come up with more and more laws and controls that step in on the 2nd amendment.
"toss a frog in a pot of boiling water and he jumps out. put a frog in a cold pot and slowly bring the temp up...you get to eat frog legs"
all the talk you hear of folks being paranoid about the government tracking who owns what guns...yet...seems to me, they already are. maybe they're not computerizing the data into a database, but they're already collecting it.
having that kind of data is good because when a gun is found at a crime scene, they can trace down the owners till the find the guy who sold it to the criminal, and who the criminal was. --if the prior owners can cooperate and remember WHO they sold it to when they sold it. but, on the other hand, I don't want them to be able to look up what I own, and where I live....
I don't think any of us are delighted with it, but that's the way it's been since the Gun Control Act of 1968.

For the second time in as many months, St. Clair residents will receive a letter from the city indicating that a local drinking water system test revealed some contamination.
Public Works Director Ed Bliss informed the St. Clair Board of Aldermen about the situation during its regular meeting on Monday night.
In early December, citizens received a similar letter.
"This letter will be going out to the residents of St. Clair," said Bliss, who indicated the new letter was scheduled to be sent on Tuesday.
The letter states that a routine test showed an increased level of coliform bacteria at two locations — 1240 Michelle Lane and 106 Crescent Lake Road.
Every month, the city tests its water from five locations that are representative of the water used by residents, the letter states. The tests are intended to confirm the absence or presence of coliform and more harmful bacteria.
"Coliform is a bacterial indicator of more harmful bacteria," the letter reads. "Positive tests for coliform require further testing for more harmful bacteria."
The letter states that the city did not find any other bacteria in the water, and Bliss said on Monday that further testing has come back clean at all locations.
"The retests came back negative at both locations," he told The Missourian.
Bliss and Mayor Ron Blum believe the contamination came from a result of the Springfield Road construction project, which continues on the west side of Highway 30.
"The system is starting to clear itself out," Bliss said. "I hope this is the last letter we have to send."
He said the previous water test that came back positive late last year probably also was a result of the Springfield Road project, which is resurfacing the road and adding new water lines from the city limits to Main Street.
As he did in early December, Bliss emphasized the incident should not be a cause for alarm.
The letter sent to local residents states that the city's water system recently violated a drinking water standard, and although it is not considered an emergency, customers have a right to know what happened, what should be done and what the city is doing to correct the situation.
Bliss said boiling water to ensure it's safe to use should not be necessary for this type of violation. But, he said individuals with specific health concerns should contact their doctor.
"This is not an emergency," the letter states. "Total coliform bacteria are generally not harmful themselves."
It also states that the city is not sure why the tests came back positive, but adds that they could have been contaminated through testing procedures or the system was not adequately flushed prior to testing.
Individuals with questions should contact Bliss at 636-629-0333 or visit him at city hall.

Analysis of Trace Metals for Occupationally Exposed Workers
As many as 4 million U.S. workers may be exposed to toxic metals and other elements in such occupations as painting, welding, soldering, electroplating, alloying, mining, and electronic-component manufacturing and in facilities that produce brass, bronze, drugs, dyes, textiles, rubber, glass, batteries, and ceramics and enameling. Lung disease and dermatologic problems among these workers have resulted from exposure to metals and their compounds (1). Traditionally, industrial hygiene samples taken to evaluate the exposures of these workers have been analyzed for a limited number of elements; each elemental analysis often required a separate sample-preparation procedure and, consequently, a separate sample. As a result, developing a profile of occupational exposure for a worker or group of workers was expensive and time-consuming. Now, however, a method combining new analytic instrumentation and techniques for sample preparation has been developed and is described below.
This method, called inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), allows simultaneous, multi-element analysis and has been successfully applied to industrial hygiene samples collected from workplace atmospheres (2). The technique has also been adapted and extended for biologic monitoring by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Trace metals are first extracted from urine samples with a polydithiocarbamate resin (3). This resin is well-suited for such extractions because of its unique characteristic of complexing with trace metals while showing little significant affinity for the alkali or alkaline earth elements (e.g., sodium, potassium, and calcium), which occur in large quantities as dissolved salts in urine. After extraction, the resin is digested; the metals are dissolved in a small volume of acid; and ICP-AES analysis is conducted. This procedure allows the simultaneous quantitative measurement from a single sample of 17 elements--aluminum, barium, cadmium, chromium, copper, iron, lanthanum, lead, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, platinum, silver, strontium, tin, titanium, and zinc). Reported by Methods Research Br, Div of Physical Sciences and Engineering, National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, CDC.
Editorial Note
Editorial Note: In addition to the 4 million workers occupationally exposed to elements or their alloys, a significantly larger number is exposed to the salts and aerosols of these metals. This new methodology provides a means for readily establishing baseline data for trace metals in urine samples of both exposed and nonexposed workers. With quantitation of several elements from a single sample, these biologic monitoring data can be collected considerably more efficiently than with traditional analytic methods. In addition to establishing baseline data, the methodology can also be used in screening to determine whether unsafe levels of toxic metals exist. The methodology developed from this work is included in the NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods, Third Edition (4).

How Does a Junk Food Tax Work?
Although 63% of American's polled said they were against a tax on junk food...
...some health experts are arguing that adding a tax to foods with high sugar content would improve health,reduce healthcare cost, and generate revenue.
U.S. Consumer Spending on Fast Food
1972 $3 Billion
2012 $100 Billion
Diet-related Obesity,Diabetes, and Heart Disease Related Health Care Cost
Current Yearly Cost $150 Billion
2018 $344 Billion
One is every three children born since the year 2000 will develop diabetes in their lifetime.
Improved Health
In New York State alone...
A one cent tax on sugar-sweetened beverages would...
...reduce consumption...
...preventing 37,000 cases of diabetes annually
Reduced Health Care Costs
As public health improves
...the amount of tax money we spend helping sick people goes down.
Fact: 30% of the increase in health care spending over the past 20 years could be attributed to the soaring rate of obesity.
Generating Revenue
A 10% tax on fattening foods... = Raise up to $530 billion over 10 years
Fact: These funds could be used to fund health improvement efforts or physical education programs.

NASA has prematurely released a video explaining why the world did not come to an end on 21 December, 2012.
The video was made in response to hundreds of queries it received from people wondering if the end of the world was near and what they should do about it.
A prophecy based on an interpretation of the ancient Mayan calendar claims the world will end in a few days time.
However, NASA is so confident that the apocalypse will not happen that it has released a video ahead of schedule.
The conspiracy backers already questioned why the video - titled Why the World Didn't End Yesterday - was published more than a week before the due date.
"If you are watching this video then that means one thing... the world didn't end yesterday," the video begins.
In addition to the four-minute explainer video, NASA also has a dedicated website that has received at least 4.6 million visitors.

All Toyota Celicas sold in the US and Canada utilize a floor-mounted shifter and an internally-mounted shift linkage. On some older models, the linkage is contained in a side cover which is bolted on to the transmission case, but the majority of all Celicas have the linkage mounted inside the top of the transmission case itself.
No external adjustments are either necessary or possible.

NOT SURPRISINGLY, nearly every member of Chatham County's legislative delegation has prudently backed away from a proposal to de-annex Hutchinson Island from the city of Savannah.
These lawmakers said that before they make up their minds to support such a proposal, they need to hear from the city — and for now, the city is dead-set against it.
It's still puzzling why Chatham County Commission Chairman Al Scott, who met privately on Jan. 25 with most local lawmakers to discuss this proposal, would apparently suggest at that meeting that Mayor Edna Jackson and City Council were on board with the plan.
That's clearly not the case.
Also a riddle is why the county is pitching this idea. For now, there's speculation that a possible convention hotel or new marina project may be fueling the move, with the feeling that removing the property from the city's jurisdiction could more easily pave the way forward for needed infrastructure, such as the construction of a new fire station on the island with county support.
Maybe, maybe not. The city apparently could easily adjust and build a city-owned fire house on Hutchinson, too.
But Mr. Scott is no stranger to the ways of the Georgia Legislature or how local legislation is passed. The chairman is a former state senator himself. He knows that just one senator's "nay" vote could spike this deal.
Unfortunately, the chairman hasn't done himself or the cause of de-annexation any favors up to now. If anything, it appears as if he was trying to pull a fast one on the city — even if that's not the case.
Six members of the local delegation — the dean, State Rep. Ron Stephens, as well as State Reps. Bob Bryant, Craig Gordon and Mickey Stephens, and State Sens. Buddy Carter and Lester Jackson — are right to back off until they hear more.
(Of the remaining two delegation members, State Rep. Ben Watson couldn't be reached for comment; State Rep. Bill Hitchens did not attend the Jan. 25 meeting.)
Local lawmakers who serve in Atlanta must try to operate as part of the same team, working for the greater good of this entire region. They must avoid being used as a wedge. Otherwise, cooperation becomes impossible. Needed economic growth can get mired in petty politics.
At the same time, members of the county commission, Savannah City Council and the city councils of the county's other municipalities must try to be more open and transparent in dealing with each other. Granted, that's not always possible. But there's enough common interest to go around — especially when it comes to creating jobs — to do their best to communicate and work from the same script.
Transparency is more becoming than secrecy.
It's troubling that five county commissioners — Lori Brady, Tony Center, Pat Farrell, James Holmes, Dean Kicklighter, Priscilla Thomas and Yusuf Shabazz — said that the chairman kept them in the dark about de-annexation, too. If Mr. Scott wants to build trust, he's going about it the wrong way.

MPI/UNDP new initiative to integrate grassroots successes into poverty reduction strategyApr 12, 2002
Ha Noi - Successful experiences at the grassroots level - from women small loan schemes to local road construction efforts - will be identified and integrated into Viet Nam's poverty reduction strategy under a new initiative launched today by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
The US$1million-UNDP project will help bring provinces together to discuss and identify successful poverty reduction models and initiatives at local level and raise them to the national policy making level for wider dissemination and institutionalization.
"In my recent visit to Tuyen Quang province, where UNDP helped the province to effectively implement small investment funds", recalled UNDP Resident Representative Jordan Ryan, "I saw the confidence of local men and women when they talked about Village Development Boards, Water Users' Associations, and Women's Credit and Savings Groups. I also saw that many local women went beyond their traditional domestic sphere to participate in community activities, to help themselves and to help others." Ryan added, "Poverty reduction is working in Viet Nam, and people are leading richer lives".
However, evidence suggests these successes have often remained confined to the individual projects and provinces. They have not been systematically taken into account by policy-makers in the design of national poverty reduction strategies. The current decentralisation process is often confined to the provincial level. Greater autonomy in planning and financial management is required at the district and commune level to reach out to the poorest and ethnic minority groups. These include landless and small landholders, women-headed families, and people in the most remote communities with extremely difficult living conditions.
The new UNDP project will also provide assistance to the implementation of IFAD (International Fund for Agricultural Development) projects, including the Ha Tinh Rural Development Project in the first year and other provinces in the following years. These projects will support and enhance the Government's policies of poverty alleviation and hunger eradication in disadvantaged areas.
With almost 80% of the population living in rural areas, rural transformation and poverty reduction are priority issues of Vietnam. The government's poverty reduction strategy for the period 2001-2010 is aimed at reducing the number of poor households to below 5% (based on new poverty line) and ensuring full access for poor households to basic social services. This translates into a reduction rate in poverty of 1.5% to 2% or 250,000 to 280,000 households per annum.Contact informationPublic Information Unit, Tel: 942 1495; Fax: 942 2267

I would appreciate some input on cost and length of work estimated, on opening an entrance to the basement by going through the laundry floor (inside the house) situated inside the house's side entrance. I have existing stairs already in the middle of the house which I would like removed or transferred to the new location.
I live in northeast Brampton and the house is 22 years old. I'm only looking for cost ideas right now.
Thank you.

While the market has grown by almost 25 per cent over the course of 2008, it is still seen to be in the early stages of development, but retailers and publishers are confident this is set to change.
Atari's head of Europe Mediterranean region Andrea Colombo told MCV: "For many reasons, [Italy's] still a couple of years from the more mature markets like the UK or French one. But this means enormous space for growth. And the change is happening right now.
"The Italian market is dramatically different from the one I knew ten years ago when I joined the market. It's becoming increasingly similar to the modern and mature markets, with very strong big chains like GameStop and Blockbuster, and more efficient independent stores like Open Game. The market is now more concentrated, with the top ten retailers covering over 75 per cent of the market."
One of the key challenges the territory faces as it develops is the lack of hypermarkets, according to Black Bean Games' head of marketing, Fabrizio Vagliasindi.
"These channels, which perform much better in other European countries, are weaker here," he says. "And this affects the sales of mass-market products in terms of potential. Buyers are not getting the right mix of product, and the shelves are not being filled properly. This will be a big area of improvement over the next couple of years."

Moyamoya disease is an idiopathic vascular disorder of intracranial arteries. Its susceptibility locus has been mapped to 17q25.3 in Japanese families, but the susceptibility gene is unknown.
Genome-wide linkage analysis in eight three-generation families with moyamoya disease revealed linkage to 17q25.3 (P<10-4). Fine mapping demonstrated a 1.5-Mb disease locus bounded by D17S1806 and rs2280147. We conducted exome analysis of the eight index cases in these families, with results filtered through Ng criteria. There was a variant of p.N321S in PCMTD1 and p.R4810K in RNF213 in the 1.5-Mb locus of the eight index cases. The p.N321S variant in PCMTD1 could not be confirmed by the Sanger method. Sequencing RNF213 in 42 index cases confirmed p.R4810K and revealed it to be the only unregistered variant. Genotyping 39 SNPs around RNF213 revealed a founder haplotype transmitted in 42 families. Sequencing the 260-kb region covering the founder haplotype in one index case did not show any coding variants except p.R4810K. A case-control study demonstrated strong association of p.R4810K with moyamoya disease in East Asian populations (251 cases and 707 controls) with an odds ratio of 111.8 (P?=?10-119). Sequencing of RNF213 in East Asian cases revealed additional novel variants: p.D4863N, p.E4950D, p.A5021V, p.D5160E, and p.E5176G. Among Caucasian cases, variants p.N3962D, p.D4013N, p.R4062Q and p.P4608S were identified. RNF213 encodes a 591-kDa cytosolic protein that possesses two functional domains: a Walker motif and a RING finger domain. These exhibit ATPase and ubiquitin ligase activities. Although the mutant alleles (p.R4810K or p.D4013N in the RING domain) did not affect transcription levels or ubiquitination activity, knockdown of RNF213 in zebrafish caused irregular wall formation in trunk arteries and abnormal sprouting vessels.
We provide evidence suggesting, for the first time, the involvement of RNF213 in genetic susceptibility to moyamoya disease.

...H is for hello. I am Kinga, a full time graphic designer, part time photographer and some-of-the-time artist. I have a deep appreciation for chalkboard paint and spend most of my time in my studio. I love mid-century-modern furniture, great photography, fabulous food and my purse is always big enough to fit a sketchbook.
I love anything hand made. This love comes from growing up in a house where people worked with their hands and creativity was strongly encouraged. My dad does carvings and makes beautiful objects out of wood. When I was twelve he commissioned me to draw a picture on the door of a cabinet he was making, so he could carve it, and it turned out beautiful. It's a work of collaborative art and my most favorite commission to date. My mom sews. Amazingly well. I can only hope to someday have one-tenth of the knowledge and experience she has in sewing and pattern making. It's awe inspiring what she can do with a needle and thread and the sound of a sewing machine always reminds me of home.
My husband is a meticulous (obsessive compulsive) carpenter, and aspiring silk-screener who alphabetizes his DVD collection. When he was a kid his mom paid him to wear socks to school. Twenty-five cents for each day of the school-week, which he then traded in for a loonie (one dollar coin) at the end of the week. Do the math...It has made him the hardened business man he is today, and he always counts his money...twice.
All joking aside, he also comes from a long line of master crafters and it's amazing for both of us to be always surrounded by such creative people.

Suite 404 is where we live. It's our first home. It is small and cozy filled with all the things we love. It is the place where we began our journey in making our collective dreams come true so I knew it had to be the name of this little business adventure.
So...Welcome. Here you'll find letter-pressed stationery, silk-screened prints for your home (like the hummingbird prints above) and soft goods like pillows (also above) and tea towels. You will also find our two year old Boston Terrier, Molly, who will try to steal kisses. She is our resident snuggle-buddy and will be yours too if you promise to keep her warm.
The suite 404 shop will officially launch in a few short weeks, but I will keep updating this blog regularly as things develop so make sure to check in from time to time.
Thanks for stopping by and leave your kind comments too, I love hearing from people.

PROMETHEE Multicriteria Analysis for Evaluation of Recycling Strategies in Malaysia
At present, the per capita generation of solid waste in Malaysia varies from 0.45 to 2kg/day depending on the economic status of an area. In general, the per capita generation rate is about 1kg/day. Even though 17,000 tonnes/day of solid waste is being generated, only 5% is being recycled. If this particular scenario continues without appropriate mitigation, Malaysia will be facing a serious problem in municipal solid waste management. Hence, government has targeted 22% of waste to be recycled by 2020. Various strategies have been formulated in achieving this figure. In Malaysia, research is being done vastly on recycling but very few related to multicriteria. As a first step, we propose here an evaluation of various recycling strategies and ranking them based on multicriteria to provide an insight on increasing the recycling activities among residents. Since values of alternatives are imprecise, ambiguous and/or uncertain, the multicriteria outranking analysis is particularly useful in order to facilitate further detailed consideration. The problem of the selection or the ranking of alternatives submitted to a multicriteria evaluation is not an easy problem economically or mathematically. We propose a modified PROMETHEE analysis for treating multicriteria problems.

I hope everyone had a very nice Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day with a wonderful morning in church and a delicious lunch for us. This was my Mom's first Mother's Day without my Dad. So many new "firsts" we are facing this year, however the day went well and we had a very blessed time.
This whole week has been great. We finally got the garden area tilled. We found an ad in a store window in Seymour and called about having it done. He came out the next day and did a beautiful job for a terrific price. Gardening in the Ozarks is not for the faint of heart. The ground is quite a bit more rocky than I'd like, and bless his heart, his machinery took quite a beating. He broke a pin and had to run home to get his tools to cut it out and replace it. Finally, our garden is tilled. In great anticipation, I loaded up on vegetable plants and Marigolds. Then it poured before I could get them in the ground. Now the area is a soupy mess, but nothing that a bit of time won't take care of.
We got several tomato varieties, mostly heirlooms because we love their taste the best. The list includes Mortgage Lifters, Mr. Stripeys, Candystripes, Pink Girls, Amish Paste, Sunsugars, and Persimmon (a golden beefsteak heirloom). We also picked up some King Arthur and Fat n Sassy sweet bell peppers. There will be room for corn, onions, cucumbers and beans too. The good Lord tells us that if we sow sparingly, we shall reap sparingly, so believe me when I say that around here, we do not sow sparingly in any way. Oh, I almost forgot that I was able to find a great Comfrey plant too! I am very excited about that since ours died out last year. The one thing I have not been able to find is a Butterfly Bush. If anyone knows where to find one, please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I would really appreciate it!
It is probably a good thing that we haven't been able to plant anything yet. After having the area tilled, my husband finished fencing the area off to keep the cows out of it. Augustine, our very curious and determined cow, decided to get in there anyway and tore down two wires in the process. She doesn't like being told not to do something and is always the first to challenge it. It showed us the weak spot before having planted everything. Last year, I didn't think she would eat the pepper plants, but she did….every last one of them including the hot ones…with hot peppers on them. Silly cow.
So this week, the fence will be repaired and we will be able to plant everything hopefully, including the trees in the orchard area. We have two more apple trees and a Red Haven peach tree to plant in memory of my father.
Speaking of orchards, I was greatly saddened to see all of the beautiful and bountiful apple trees cut down there by Uncle Roosters on Highway 60. What a tragedy. So many years of hard work cut down. I suppose someone wants to sell the property as commercial property. My daughter and I have gathered many bushels of apples from those trees. We have enjoyed those apples for a very long time and are very sad to not be able to enjoy beautiful September days picking apples in that beautiful orchard again.
In the duck news, the ducks have been finally moved out into the main chicken yard where they have their own large pool which they jump in every morning. We would love to turn them loose on the pond, but there is a local resident hawk that patrols that area every day so the ducks will have to be satisfied with their pool. In researching this Khaki-Campbell ducks, we discovered that they can lay over three hundred eggs a year. We truly enjoy duck eggs, but we have four duck hens. I'm not sure we can use that many eggs, so if anyone else would like some when they start laying, please don't hesitate to let us know! They are wonderful to eat and use in cooking and I understand that they are much more nutrient rich than chicken eggs. Don't quote me on that, do your own research, but I am anxious for them to start laying so we can enjoy them!

This is a great workhorse printer from H.P. its fast with clear, crisp print results, the extra paper tray is useful for having plain and letter headed paper ready to print, or even different sizes.
Easily networkable, and the duplex is fast without paper jams which seems to happen often on other machines I've used.
This machine has a small footprint so if space is at a premium in your office but the workload is high, this might be the printer for you. Hewlett Packard make good reliable printers in general and if the LJ4250dtn develops any faults H.P. parts are cheaper and more easily available than most.
There is one fault I am aware of with this machine relating to the duplex unit, if you expect to do a lot of double sided printing, it has a habit of becoming a bit noisy; there is a cog that wears under the extra load caused by the duplex. However this is very minor and can be fixed easily.
With Duplexing, Extra tray, and Network card, this printer has all the extra's.... Shame its not colour too.
Having said that I really rate this printer, and would recommend to all.

Sako A5
Quick question here. I had friend offer me Sako A5 in .30-06, w/ Leupold 3x-9x. Asking price was $600. I'm not super familiar with Sako rifles. He told me he bought it new about 10 years ago. Good deal? Anything in particular I should look for?

IMO that's a good deal. If that scope is even a VX-I, you're looking at $200, making the cost of the rifle $400. The A5 as you notated it is actually the AV, a long-tanged, long action. Sako used Roman numerals in this series of models. Sako makes an excellent rifle, with collectors preferring about any model except the newer 75s and 85s. The AV was introduced around 1980 but I'm not sure when it was discontinued. Time flies and your friend, if he bought it new, has had it longer than 10 years. Ten years ago Sako was producing the model 75, which was introduced in 1997. Nothing special to be on the alert for, as these are good rifles. Just do a normal check of function, bore inspection, look for rust and pitting , a solid stock, etc.
Remember, many times what we view as a curse in the present turns out to be a blessing in the future. Don't worry about it a lot. Things have a way of working out. Trust me on this one. - - Uncle Bill Martino

A year ago, I picked up a Sako AV in 300 Win Mag for $600, because it was a left-hand version, and so am I. It is a great rifle. Not a lot of info out there on the AVs, as you stated.

American Association of Community Colleges Statement on College Board's 2011 Trends in College Pricing and Student Aid Reports
The College Board's 2011 Trends in College Pricing and Trends in Student Aid reports on college pricing and student aid underscore two ongoing realities for community college students and institutions. Those realities are continuing tuition increases coupled with a strong and essential federal role in helping students meet their educational expenses.
The Board's data show that, given reductions in state and local funding, many colleges have been left with little recourse but to increase tuition. Fortunately, these increases are relatively small in dollar terms—the average full-time, full-year community college student paid just $236 more in 2011-2012 than in the previous academic year, bringing average tuition and fees to $2,963. However, the low tuition for community colleges meant that they experienced the largest percentage increase of any sector (8.7%).
Over the past decade, state support for public higher education decreased from $7.25 to $6.33 per $1,000 of per capita income. At the same time, community colleges have experienced tremendous enrollment growth and related demands for their services.
Federal student aid remains the lifeline to higher education access for millions of community college students. In 2009-10, close to 3 million community college students received more than $9.7 billion in Pell Grant funds. Community college students are fortunate in that the low tuitions they pay result in a reduced reliance on loans, and they account for 10% or less of all federal loans. Lastly, the increased reliance of all college students on federal tax credits as cited in the College Board report is significant —$14 billion was provided from that source in 2009, up from $7 billion the year before.

For as long as we've gathered by campfires to tell ghost stories, humans have always loved a good scare. From the splatter flicks of the 70s, to Japan's obsession with drowned girls, to creepy modern experiences like the overnight ghost hunt at the Trans-Allegheny Lunatic Asylum, the horror industry has thrived across time and cultures. Our obsession with getting scared is obvious to anyone who visits ScareHouse, a haunted house in Pittsburgh that is annually ranked among the scariest in the country, and has become a booming attraction with nearly 150 employees and lines wrapping around the block. It even has its own sociologist, who conducts surveys and observations to make its performances ever more terrifying. Her name is Margee Kerr.
In this surprising, scary, entertaining audiobook, Kerr puts her expertise to the test. Not merely content to observe others' fear, she confronts it in the form of things like skydiving, paranormal investigations, and a visit to Japan's infamous "suicide forest." In her willingness to explore the world's scariest attractions, Kerr shows why we seek out terror even when there is plenty to fear in everyday life. Whether she's dangling by a cable from a 116-story tower or experiencing New York City's "Extreme Haunt," BlackOut, in which participants are handcuffed, forced to crawl through dark tunnels, and given a gun and told to shoot someone, Kerr parses the elements of fear with humor and the precision of an expert.
Along the way, she takes a personal journey that leads to valuable insights about what we fear - and what it says about who we are.

"Science and entertaining anecdotes"
fun pop science
This book was an entertaining look at fear: why we like being scared or thrilled, what's going on with our brains while we experience fear, and what that all means. Margee Kerr takes us around the world to the scariest "haunts" (haunted houses), roller coasters, high buildings, creepy forests, and dangerous cities. Throughout her journeys, she tries to explain our desire for thrilling experiences and what that says about us (through anecdotes of her own adventures and evidence gathering). The final part brings all that came before together: drawing on her research and the brain measuring skills of another scientist, she creates an "extreme haunt", designed to test the limits of fear and human experience of it in a safe, controlled experiment designed to collect data while entertaining.
I learned a little bit about the brain and why we enjoy scary things, but I mostly enjoyed Kerr's anecdotes about her travels. It was fun to go with her on her journeys. Usually authors who narrate their own books fall a bit flat, but Kerr was a solid reader with good pace and tone.
"Very interesting but too long"
I did learn a lot from this book and much of it was very interesting. However, there were parts that were bogged down by the author's own thoughts, some of which were relevant, others which were not. It's an OK read if you are interested in the psychology of fear!
"Enlightening and terrifying"
This was the most excited and interesting read I have ever experienced. Margee Kerr is a testimant to the word experience. In sharing her experiences she has opened my eyes to an enlightenment one can only hope for. Very well written, definitely spine-tingling, and an all around page turner.

How often do these scores change?

How to get your credit score
5 uncommon ways to raise your credit score
5 lessons from free credit score notices
Create a news alert for "credit scores"
How often do these scores change?
Scores are calculated each time they're requested as opposed to being calculated and stored somewhere and then retrieved. So, if I request my credit score today, the credit bureau I go to will access my credit file, will calculate the score and send it to me. If I go back tomorrow for my score, it will go through the same process and it will calculate it again. Now that score may be the same if nothing changed on my credit report, but it will always go through the same process. So, if you go to a mortgage broker and you get your score today, (and) you then go to another mortgage broker (and) they pull your score, the first one will calculate it at that moment; the second one will calculate it again as if it hadn't been calculated before.
How can I see my FICO score?
To get your own score you can go through a site such as myFICO.com where the Equifax and TransUnion FICO scores are available. Equifax also makes the Equifax FICO score available on its Equifax.com website. Also, mortgage applicants receive a score disclosure that shows the scores and the models and the various factors that are impacting the scores. After recent legislation, consumers also are now able to access their scores if they either do not receive the best terms lenders offer or if they are denied credit. Some credit card companies provide their online customers with FICO scores on a monthly basis and that type of thing. There are a lot of credit scores out there that are available through other sources, but for the most part, those are not actual FICO scores -- they are other credit scores developed by other companies.
There is no site you can go to get your score from Experian -- not proactively as a consumer. Experian is not making their scores available to consumers in the same way that Equifax and TransUnion are. If you are a mortgage applicant or (are) turned down for credit and an Experian score was accessed, you will receive that score as part of that process.

- Released: Nov 18, 2008
- Sound: 9
- Lyrics: 9
- Overall Impression: 10
Users' score:
(62 votes)
Sound — 9
The sound of "Bang Camaro II" is straight arena rock with an interesting acoustic twist and softer rock added in to make things interesting. Even though songs like "Night Lies" and "Blood Red Rock" sound like everyone is yelling, the vocals do shine in songs like "Miss Illusion" and "She's Gone Critical". However, in some songs, the lyrics are slightly hard to understand. The two guitars that switch between lead and rhythm are spot on throughout the album. The bass and drums also make you want to head bang uncontrollably.
Lyrics — 9
"Bang Camaro II" is more or less Bang Camaro's first album with lyrics. Every song, excluding "Thunderclap", have full blown lyrics, some with more meaning than others. The lyrics go from just lyrics to great narratives. "Life is Hard on the Road" is a perfect example of these great lyrics. The singers shine in some songs, but in others, like I stated in sounds, seem to just yell, even though they are singing.
Overall Impression — 10
Even though a few songs have a little bit too much of the loud yelling, this is a must have. It combines the thumping drums of metal with the crazy guitar riffs and singing of arena rock. Personally, I think "Miss Illusion", "Can't Stop the Night", "Night Lies", and "Life is Hard on the Road" are really where this albums shine. However, there really isn't a bad song. I am slightly disappointed that the song "I Know You Liked My Band" is really just a slight remake of "You Know I like My Band" on their first album. But all in all, if you're a fan of any form of rock or metal, this album is for you.

Just a few years removed from high school, Joel Parks, Lucas Gillette and Tremaine Wade — the guys behind Oklahoma alternative trio Ripple Green — have already devoted ten years of time into what started as a childhood diversion, now turned a full-fledged obsession.
"It was a youthful drive to start playing music," guitarist Parks said of the band's early start. "Each of us have artistic people in our families that have always been very supportive of that sort of thing, and it's an easy thing to be attracted to as kids. Obviously, it stuck."
Formed in 2004, the group has taken that time to perform a delicate marriage of the groovier side of rock and roll (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Sublime) with the more alternative end (Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys) and some of their own touches in there for good measure.
That swirl was on full display with its EP Lungful (Part III) — out earlier this year — and that formula is drawn and pulled out on its sprawling follow-up, Ease.
"There's a definite evolution. And with this next EP, we are trying to spell that out. In ten years, people change in a lot of ways. It's been cool to change together and have our music shift along the way," Parks said. "Lungful was a newer, more polished sound. Ease will be more ruckus-filled, more energetic, more raw, but definitely fun. It's a step back, a regression, in a way. It's been exciting to see such a different change, and it's going to be interesting to see how people react to them."
The release — celebrated with Friday's holiday show at Womb Gallery — represents the middle installment of its EP trilogy, the third set to be composed of some of Ripple Green's very first songs.
"It's interesting going back and reliving the mindsets we were in writing the songs," bassist Gillette said. "There's a youthfulness to them, and we enjoy that energy."
That EP will have to wait, though, as all three members of Ripple Green are headed to Guildford,
England, for a semester abroad as part of an exchange program at
ACM@UCO, immersing them into London's music scene, one of the most
vibrant the world has to offer. The trio expects to return from abroad a
whole new band, and the future is looking brighter than ever.
"The best learning experience is just the environment," Gillette said. "Being 15 minutes from one of the biggest music cities in the world will just be incredible."
"It'll be a huge growing experience for all of us, even outside of school," Parks continued. "It looks like there will be opportunities to play while we're over there, too. To make the leap to a whole new audience will be unreal."

After Mischel Lee came back to SCORELAND one time a year with larger juggs, be-ringed cookie lips and the same thick thatch as last time, the hair club for males emerged to lay down a couple comments. bdog1323 famous "The allure of a shaggy crotch!

Supernaturally brawny and bubbly Tiggle Bitties reads aloud a number of suggestions and requests by SCORELAND members (such as jerk-off encouragement, oiling and smokin' a cigarette) and chooses one which turns the couch into a bounce abode and big-boobed playhouse. A enjoyment, concupiscent vid which keeps Tiggles's soft, bouncy, big 'ol racks in magic motion thus much of the time.
"They're just full and big and BBW," says Tiggle. "I love it. I'm the most admirable person to take to concerts. I does work a flask beneath each boob. I can sneak 'em in. Nobody's intend to grope me previous to a concert."
Speaking of groping…
"I've been groped plenty. Any by gay chaps than by str8 men. With tons of homosexual men, it's not even a thought. They'll go, 'Oh my god!' and grab 'em. It's like an impulse. 'Boobs! That's outstanding!' I don't mind much. As lengthy as folks aren't gross, and homo fellows aren't gross concerning it, and if you're celebrating my chest and groping me, that is excellent!"
"I not lengthy ago determined to induce into adult modeling, and The SCORE Group saw my ad and sent me an email. And i was very excited," said Molly Maracas, a leggy 51-year-old golden-haired from London, England who's back for a second helping of xxx ramrod.
"It's really satisfying to understand which men further realize me impressive," Molly told. "Also, this is more pleasure, especially the sex part."
Back home, Molly is an I.T. manager. She's divorced. That babe won't have kids, though we're aiming to take editorial license and call her a MOMMY in any case. This babe feels like one. She's a swinger. That babe says this babe is adventurous, and this babe proves it here by engulfing porn rod and obtaining her glamorous face glazed.
We asked her after that babe got into swinging, and that babe said, "About eight years agone. It is been a ball! My wildest experience was when I had sex in a public sauna. I am sure the alternative of us sitting there knew what was going on. I mean, I was sitting on my friend's lap and grinding, and you could not miss the look on our faces."
It's probably similar to the look on her face here.
Deliah Dukes, a 41-year-old housewife and mother of two from New Jersey, copulates on-video and will it indeed well for a sweetheart who'd not at any time even watched porn many years agone. This babe had a mainstream job in telecommunications. Then she determined to do a number of glamour modeling. This babe discovered out which kind of factor isn't done much anymore.
"It was brought to my attention that porno goes with which. So I brought it up to my hubby, and this chab told, 'I suppose you have to do it. I guess it's hot.'"
Deliah (pronounced Delilah) and her hubby are not swingers, and she was surprised which that fellow was ok with the plan of his next door wife fucking on-camera. This babe was intrigued str8 away.
"I do not clutch why," that babe told.
But that babe likes it and spouse likes it. Why? Cuz Deliah has been bringing her fit home. She's any active within the bedroom. You'll see here which she's not shy regarding going after Bambino's heavy knob.
Sometimes it is the quiet ones who surprise you the thus much.
"What makes you feel impressive?" we asked 50-year-old next door wife, mama and grandmother Brandi Jaimes.
"Having others notice me gracious," Brandi replied.
JMac, Brandi's partner in this episode, her initial at 50PlusMILFs.com, definitely thinks she's horny. This chab cannot keep his hands off her worthwhile racks and nice-looking booty. The way her hard nipples push throughout that sexy dress is definitely cock-hardening. Brandi bought that dress when that babe was stripping. No, not in her 20s. In her 40s.
Brandi, who drilled on-camera for the primary time at 40SomethingMag.com in 2014, grew up in Syracuse, Fresh York and now lives in South Florida. No offense, Syracuse, but that babe belongs in South Florida, where this babe can be able to show off her body 365 days a year.
"My hubby and which i are swingers," Brandi told. "We got into it a not many years agone. Once, I did it in a swing on a rooftop downtown. There was a line out the door to fuck me. Condoms merely, of course! Then for my birthday, up by the pool surrounded by a bunch of boyfrends, they stuffed me and let the load fly!"
Here, Brandi lets the facial fly into her open face hole.
Brandi says that babe doesn't like watching herself have sex but this babe will like watching others. We like watching Brandi.
Marina Rene and her mans receive right to it in this movie scene. The mans cannot keep their hands off her big titty and this babe can't keep her hands off their rods. In advance of long, this babe is sucking schlong and playing along with her pierced nipples whereas sitting on the selection dude's face. That chap manages to pull apart her multi-piercings to eat her beaver. Yeah, there is plenty going on with Marina: golden-haired hair, breasty, pierced teats, pierced cookie, pink love tunnel.
Oh, and this babe deep-throats, also. And takes it up the anal. During this video, Marina shows how accommodating she is by taking boner in her anal and pussy at the same time. Then the mans squirt their loads into her open face hole.
Imagine: This babe is 49 years aging and is a MILF. How several moms do u grasp who do stuff like this? Not several, we're guessing. That is why you come back to 40SomethingMag.com: to watch mommys like Marina.
She's from Germany. She'll do anything when, twice or THREE times. We have the feeling she is simply beginning to push her restrictions…if that babe has as well.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) ? The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau wants to sure everyone gets a fair shot at using mobile banking technology to better manage their money. It wants mobile banking to be as universal as possible, available to Americans across all financial demographics.
"In a world where people can manage their money on the go, there is great potential to serve more consumers and allow them to take greater control of their finances," says Richard Cordray, director of the CFPB. "But we need to make sure all consumers are protected whether they are opening their wallets or scanning the screen on their smartphones."
Consider these statistics, gathered by the CFPB:
Also see: Public Wi-Fi Increasingly Easy, Still Too Dangerous
- 90% of U.S. citizens own a cellphone.
- 60% of that number own a smartphone.
- 50 million Americans own a computer tablet.
- 33% of cellphone users and 50% of smartphone users found "greater access" to their banks and financial institutions.
- Last year, 74,000 U.S adults began using mobile banking on a daily basis.
The agency is especially interested in how the unbanked and the underbanked ? people who don't use banks or who may rely on pay-day lenders and check chasing services in lieu of banks ? use mobile banking. A recent Federal Reserve study says the unbanked are actually big users of mobile banking technology, using it "in greater numbers" than the general population.
Thus the new directive out of Washington, D.C., and the CFPB to focus on mobile banking to ensure the unbanked/underbanked "gain access to the banking system and grow their financial capability."
