Sherrod Brown on Government Reform
Democratic Jr Senator; previously Representative (OH-13)
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Rep. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ (D, FL-20): We, as Members of Congress, have responsibility not just for the institution, but for the staff that work for this institution, and to preserve the facilities that help support this institution. We have endeavored to do that responsibly, and I believe we have accomplished that goal.
Opponent's argument to vote No:Rep. SCALISE (R, LA-1): It's a sad day when someone attempts to cut spending in a bill that grows government by the size of 7%, and it's not allowed to be debated on this House floor. Some of their Members actually used the term "nonsense" and "foolishness" when describing our amendments to cut spending; they call that a delaying tactic. Well, I think Americans all across this country want more of those types of delaying tactics to slow down this runaway train of massive Federal spending. Every dollar we spend from today all the way through the end of this year is borrowed money. We don't have that money. We need to control what we're spending.
Proponent's argument to vote Yes:Sen. ORRIN HATCH (R-UT): I am cosponsoring the legislation to provide a House seat for DC and an additional House seat for Utah. Representation and suffrage are so central to the American system of self-government that America's founders warned that limiting suffrage would risk another revolution and could prevent ratification of the Constitution. The Supreme Court held in 1820 that Congress' legislative authority over DC allows taxation of DC. Do opponents of giving DC a House seat believe that DC is suitable for taxation but not for representation?
Opponent's argument to vote No:Sen. JOHN McCAIN (R-AZ): I make a constitutional point of order against this bill on the grounds that it violates article I, section 2, of the Constitution. I appreciate the frustration felt by the residents of DC at the absence of a vote in Congress. According to many experts, DC is not a State, so therefore is not entitled to that representation. Also, one has to raise the obvious question: If DC is entitled to a Representative, why isn't Puerto Rico, which would probably entail 9 or 10 Members of Congress? [With regards to the seat for Utah], this is obviously partisan horse-trading.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. BYRD: In 1978, I voted for H.J. Res. 554, that proposed amending the Constitution to provide for representation of D.C. [That amendment passed the Senate but was not ratified by the States]. While I recognize that others believe that the Constitution authorizes the Congress to "exercise exclusive legislation" over D.C., the historical intent of the Founders on this point is unclear. I oppose S.1257, because I doubt that our Nation's Founding Fathers ever intended that the Congress should be able to change the text of the Constitution by passing a simple bill.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. HATCH. There are conservative and liberal advocates on both sides of this issue,and think most people know Utah was not treated fairly after the last census. For those who are so sure this is unconstitutional, [we include an] expedited provision that will get us to the Supreme Court to make an appropriate decision. It will never pass as a constitutional amendment. There are 600,000 people in D.C., never contemplated by the Founders of this country to be without the right to vote. They are the only people in this country who do not have a right to vote for their own representative in the House. This bill would remedy that situation.
Proponents support voting YES because:
Sen. DOLE. I am proposing a commonsense measure to uphold the integrity of Federal elections. My amendment to require voters to show photo identification at the polls would go a long way in minimizing potential for voter fraud. When a fraudulent vote is cast and counted, the vote of a legitimate voter is cancelled. This is wrong, and my amendment would help ensure that one of the hallmarks of our democracy, our free and fair elections, is protected. Opinion polls repeatedly confirm that Americans overwhelmingly support this initiative.
Opponents recommend voting NO because:
Sen. FEINSTEIN. If one would want to suppress the vote in the 2008 election, one would vote for this because this measure goes into effect January 1, 2008. It provides that everybody who votes essentially would have to have a photo ID. If you want to suppress the minority vote, the elderly vote, the poor vote, this is exactly the way to do it. Many of these people do not have driver's licenses. This amendment would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to actually carry out. It goes into effect--surprise--January 1, 2008 [to affect the presidential election]. I urge a "no" vote.
Proponents support voting YES because:
The election system is the bedrock that our Republic is built on and its security and oversight is of paramount concern. Only US citizens have the right to vote in Federal elections, but our current system does not give State election officials the tools they need to ensure that this requirement is being met.
This bill is designed to increase participation by ensuring that each legitimate vote will be counted and not be diluted by fraud. There are many elections in this country every cycle that are decided by just a handful of votes. How can we be certain that these elections, without measures to certify the identity of voters, are not being decided by fraudulent votes?
Opponents support voting NO because:
There is something we can all agree on: only Americans get to vote, and they only get to vote once. But what we are talking about in this bill is disenfranchising many of those Americans. It is already a felony for a non-American to vote. We had hearings and what we found out was that the issue of illegal aliens voting basically does not occur.
The impact of this will disproportionately affect poor people and African Americans, because many are too poor to have a car and they do not have a license. We have no evidence there is a problem. We have ample evidence that this will disenfranchise many Americans. This is the measure to disenfranchise African Americans, Native Americans. It is wrong and we will not stand for it.
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: Amends federal criminal law to prohibit any person from knowingly deceiving any other person regarding:
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. OBAMA: Voter participation is fundamental to our democracy, and we must do all we can to encourage those who can to vote. I also hope voters go to the polls with accurate information about what is on the ballot, where they are supposed to vote, and what our Nation's voting laws are.
It might surprise some of you to know, but even in this awesome age of technological advancement and easy access to information, there are folks who will stop at nothing to try to deceive people and keep them away from the polls. These deceptive practices all too often target and exploit vulnerable populations, like minorities, the disabled, or the poor.
Deceptive practices often rely on a few tried and true tricks. Voters are often warned that an unpaid parking ticket will lead to their arrest or that folks with family members who have been convicted of a crime are ineligible to vote. Of course, these warnings have no basis in fact, and they are made with one goal and one goal only: to keep Americans away from the polls.
The bill I am introducing today provides the clear statutory language and authority needed to get allegations of deceptive practices investigated. It establishes harsh penalties for those found to have perpetrated them. Deceptive practices and voter intimidation are real problems and demand real solutions like those offered in my bill.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Committee on Rules and Administration; never came to a vote.
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: Expresses the sense of Congress that:
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Sen. OBAMA: I am submitting a resolution to express the Senate's strong disapproval of recent efforts to disenfranchise Americans. Unfortunately, too many electoral reform efforts seem intent on limiting access to the ballot as opposed to expanding it. In the mid-20th century, the poll tax was the preferred means of disenfranchising large minority populations, specifically African Americans. Today, the poll tax is taking on a new form--a photo identification requirement for voters.
According to the National Commission on Federal Election Reform, such a requirement would "impose an additional expense on the exercise of the franchise, a burden that would fall disproportionately on people who are poorer and urban." Nevertheless, a number of States, including Georgia, have recently passed laws mandating government-issued photo identification for voters at the polls. Nationwide, at least 12% of eligible drivers do not have a driver's license. And Georgia has made it difficult for rural and urban folks to obtain their voter photo identification.
The Carter-Baker Commission on Federal Election Reform acknowledges that there is "no evidence of extensive fraud in U.S. elections or of multiple voting."
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to Senate Committee on Rules and Administration; never came to a vote.
Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. CLINTON: I rise today to introduce legislation that will create an undergraduate institution designed to cultivate a generation of young leaders dedicated to public service. The US Public Service Academy Act (The PSA Act) will form a national academy to serve as an extraordinary example of effective, national public education.
The tragic events of September 11 and the devastation of natural disasters such as Hurricanes Katrina and Rita underscore how much our Nation depends on strong public institutions and competent civilian leadership at all levels of society. Congress must take a step forward to ensure competent civilian leadership and improve our Nation's ability to respond to future emergencies and to confront daily challenges.
This legislation will create the US Public Service Academy to groom future public servants and build a corps of capable civilian leaders. Modeled after the military service academies, this academy will provide a four-year, federally-subsidized college education for more than 5,000 students a year in exchange for a five year commitment to public service.
The PSA Act will meet critical national needs as the baby-boomer generation approaches retirement. Already, studies show looming shortages in the Federal civil service, public education, law enforcement, the non-profit sector and other essential areas.
Unfortunately our young people are priced out of public service careers all too often. By providing a service-oriented education at no cost to the student, the PSA Act will tap into the strong desire to serve that already exists among college students while erasing the burden of enormous college debt.
The establishment of a United States Public Service Academy is an innovative way to strengthen and protect America by creating a corps of well-trained, highly-qualified civilian leaders. I am hopeful that my Senate colleagues from both sides of the aisle will join me today.
Makes it unlawful for anyone before or during a federal election to knowingly communicate false election-related information about that election, with the intent to prevent another person from exercising the right to vote. Increases from one year to five years' imprisonment the criminal penalty for intimidation of voters.
Introductory statement by Sponsor:
Sen. OBAMA: This bill seeks to address the all-too-common efforts to deceive voters in order to keep them away from the polls. It's hard to imagine that we even need a bill like this. But, unfortunately, there are people who will stop at nothing to try to deceive voters and keep them away from the polls. What's worse, these practices often target and exploit vulnerable populations, such as minorities, the disabled, or the poor. We saw countless examples in this past election.
Rep. CONYERS: "Since the late 1950's, the pernicious practice of 'voter caging' has been used to discourage or prevent eligible voters from casting their vote. Recent elections have shown that caging tactics are not outdated, and in fact, have disenfranchised voters in recent midterm and Presidential elections. While caging efforts have traditionally been directed at minority communities, all voters are susceptible to these attempts at voter intimidation and suppression.
"The undemocratic practice of voter caging involves sending mail to voters at the addresses at which they are registered to vote. Should such mail be returned as undeliverable or without a return receipt, the voter's name is placed on a 'caging list.' These caging lists are then used to challenge a voter's registration or eligibility.
"In my home State of Michigan, I have seen firsthand how caging efforts are used to harass, bully, and ultimately disenfranchise, eligible voters. With a Michigan lawmaker advocating 'suppress the Detroit vote,' I cannot help but think that is synonymous with 'suppress the Black vote' as Detroit is 83% African American. These voter suppression campaigns always seem to target our most vulnerable voters--racial minorities, low-income people, homeless people, and college students.
"Caging tactics meant to suppress the vote do more than impede the right to vote. They threaten to erode the very core of our democracy. By eliminating barriers to the polls, we can help restore what has been missing from our elections--fairness, honesty, and integrity."
A bill to prevent Members of Congress from receiving any automatic pay adjustment in 2010.
For purposes of the provision of law amended by section 704(a)(2)(B) of the Ethics Reform Act of 1989 (5 U.S.C. 5318 note), no adjustment under section 5303 of title 5, United States Code, shall be considered to have taken effect in fiscal year 2010 in the rates of pay under the General Schedule.

Gingham Fashion Has a Summer Moment
The checkered motif breaks out of the picnic basket and is present in fashion and décor pieces from Prada, Stella McCartney and more.
LITTLE IS EVER as it seems in a Prada show. That was certainly true for the label's fall 2013 presentation. Dramatically suggestive silhouettes were projected on the walls: birds alighting on a window sill, a lone cat, a woman in a doorway. On the catwalk, models had dripping-wet hair that suggested a sudden change of plans. It all lent the event an air of film noir-ish unease.
However, it was the many coats and dresses in gingham-checked wool that best expressed designer Miuccia Prada's penchant for tradition-twisting. In her hands, the innocent pattern became sensual and a touch wayward on dresses with slipped-off-the-shoulder straps (pictured above) and swingy coats worn over semisheer dresses. It all seemed to say: The lady has misbehaved.
Ms. Prada "is obsessed with this Hitchcockian, twisted midcentury woman—slightly repressed but strong," said Barbara Atkin, vice president of fashion direction at Canadian department store Holt Renfrew. "Gingham has the connotation of vulnerability. I kept thinking of Dorothy in the 'Wizard of Oz' trying to find her way home. I think the Prada show was a commentary on women's vulnerability and struggle."
Prada isn't the only one playing with gingham. This summer, the fabric that usually lines picnic baskets is showing up in myriad unexpected forms.
"This season, it's the new stripe," said Karen Mulligan, who designs swim label Pret-à-Surf with Jillian Demling. "It's so versatile. It can be really subtle, and seem almost like a solid. Anyone can wear gingham."
The design duo offers two gingham bikinis for summer: one in red with retro high-waisted briefs, and another with a more modern cut in navy. Also checking in this season: a printed pair of classic Keds sneakers (made in collaboration with Kate Spade), Bottega Veneta's oversize sunglasses and a body-hugging shift by Stella McCartney that Dorothy never would have dared dream of.
The pattern is also re-emerging in design and décor, treading the line between countrified and preppy, and going well beyond wallpaper and upholstery.
French tableware company Sabre Paris makes slightly surreal acrylic spoons in a rainbow of gingham patterns. Architect and designer Paola Navone produced her Euphoria shell chair for the Italian furniture maker Eumenes with a fat blue-and-white check, which Ms. Navone said reminds her of the linens from the Italian trattorias of her youth. She explained: "Sometimes you discover that something you grew up with—when you see it somewhere else—it's new again."

Kendra Wilkinson Says Her Son Hank Jr. Is Going To Be a Star Athlete!
Kendra Wilkinson and Hank Baskett are both athletic and extremely excited that their 9-month-old son is already showing off his sporty side.
"Baby Hank is awesome, man!" brags Kendra Wilkinson. The 25-year-old tells CelebrityBabyScoop.com that her 9-month-old is a natural athlete just like his daddy — Hank Sr. is a wide receiver for the Philadelphia Eagles. "He is so advanced it is not even funny,' says the reality TV star. "He already knows how to shoot a basketball. He's so smart he knows how to put a ball through the basket. He just keeps on doing it."
But Kendra's pride and joy isn't just going to be a jock, she's making sure to teach him some other important skills and is very careful about filling his toy box with multitasking toys. "Education doesn't start at school, it starts at home. I look at everything as learning tools. They need to learn their shapes, colors, numbers and alphabet. So I give him as much as I can to learn," explains the first-time mom.
Being a stay-at-home mom is a far cry from her days as a party girl at the Playboy Mansion, but Kendra would never want to go back to her old life. "He's just growing so much. Every milestone is right in front of our eyes. We are so happy that we get to see every single second of his growth. He just popped out two teeth on the bottom and had his first play date," says Kendra, who admits that she and Hank, 28, definitely want more children in the future. "I'm just going to continue to be the best mom I can be. That's my number one priority."

> Lees de Nederlandstalige beschrijving van het onderzoek van Jeroen Raes (in Dutch)
The functioning of the human body constitutes a complex interplay of human processes and "services" rendered to us by the 1,000 trillion microbial cells we carry. Disruption of this natural microbial flora is linked to infection, autoimmune diseases and cancer, but detailed knowledge about our microbial component remains scarce. Recent technological advances such as metagenomics and next-generation sequencing make it possible, for the first time, to study the various microbiota of the human body at a previously unseen scale. These advances have allowed the initiation of the International Human Microbiome Project, aiming at genomically characterizing the totality of human-associated micro-organisms (the "microbiome").However, the complexity of metagenomic datasets makes their analysis a major bottleneck. This allowed the birth of a new, exciting subfield in computational biology which will eventually allow classical, cellular-level systems biology to progress towards modeling entire communities ("ecosystems biology") and untangling interspecies networks of competition, collaboration and communication at the molecular level.The Raes lab combines large-scale, next-generation sequencing with novel computational approaches to investigate the functioning and variability of the healthy human microbiome at the systems level and study its alteration in disease. In this context, we recently discovered the existence of discrete gut flora types (enterotypes), that are independent of host properties such as nationality, sex or race and are studying the predictive power of microbial markers for various intestinal diseases. In addition, we focus on the development of computational methods for the analysis of (next-generation) sequence data and the investigation of community properties from metagenomics, metatranscriptomics and meta-metabolomics data, which are applied in a wide range of environments (ocean, soil, etc.).The links below cover Jeroen Raes' latest press release 'World's first population-level microbiome study reveals links between lifestyle and gut flora'

Day's Best: Duck researcher fights back
For scientist Patricia Brennan, waterfowl penises aren't just fodder for duck jokes.
Brennan, a researcher at Yale University, became the object of national ridicule last month when a conservative news site reported she received a $384,949 from the U.S. government-funded National Science Foundation to study duck genitalia.
The research grant was frequently styled as yet another example of government waste, but this time, the scientist getting hammered didn't stay quiet. Brennan wrote a guest column for Slate.com defending the research.
"The commentary and headlines in some of the recent articles reflect outrage that the study was about duck genitals, as if there is something inherently wrong or perverse with this line of research," Brennan wrote. "Imagine if medical research drew the line at the belt!
"Genitalia, dear readers, are where the rubber meets the road, evolutionarily. To fully understand why some individuals are more successful than others during reproduction, there may be no better place to look.
"The importance of evolutionary research on other species' genitalia to the medical field has been recently highlighted in the Journal of Sexual Medicine. Generating new knowledge of what factors affect genital morphology in ducks, one of the few vertebrate species other than humans that form pair bonds and exhibit violent sexual coercion, may have significant applied uses in the future, but we must conduct the basic research first."
The scientist says that her research, first funded during the Bush administration, was prompted by the fact that duck penises are corkscrew-shaped but turn counterclockwise while duck vaginas are spiral-shaped but turn the other way. She wanted to know why this was and how it fit with "sexual conflict" in evolution.

I was born in New York City and raised in Connecticut. For as
long as I can remember I have always been interested in science (especially paleontology). As a young boy I used to love to visit the Yale Peabody Museum to see the dinosaur skeletons and other fossils on display. These fascinating creatures of long-ago made a profound impact on my life and I decided at an early age that I wanted to become a vertebrate paleontologist.
I left the East Coast to attend college out west in the fall of 1969. I received my B.A. in geology from the University of New Mexico in 1973, completed a year of post-baccalaureate study at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1974, received a M.S. in vertebrate paleontology from San Diego State University (thesis advisor: Richard Estes) in 1978 and a Ph.D. in geology from Michigan State University (dissertation advisor: J. Alan Holman) in 1980.
My research interests are in the specialized field of paleoherpetology (the study of fossil amphibians and reptiles). I have focused primarily on the study of the phylogenetic systematics of fossil lizards and dinosaurs as well as the controversial topic of dinosaur extinction. For over two decades I have been actively pursuing fieldwork in New Mexico, concentrating my collecting efforts in the San Juan Basin, targeting the Fruitland, Kirtland, Ojo Alamo and Nacimiento formations for non-mammalian fossil vertebrates.
Some of my more noteworthy discoveries include a new specimen of the rare lambeosaurine dinosaur Parasaurolophus tubicen (the second, and most complete, specimen known of this species) and a new ankylosaurid dinosaur Nodocephalosaurus kirtlandensis, which I named in 1999.
The holotype skull of Nodocephalosaurus kirtlandensis from the Upper Cretaceous Kirtland Formation (De-na-zin Member), San Juan Basin, New Mexico. This rare and unusual ankylosaurid is more closely related to the Asian genera Tarchia and Sachania, than to the North American Euoplocephalus and Ankylosaurus.
In addition to my fieldwork, I have traveled abroad to study fossil vertebrates in Canada, Germany, England, France, Czechoslovakia (Czech Republic), Sweden, China and most recently Mongolia (see Mongolia website page, above). I revised the systematics of the pachycephalosaurid dinosaur Stegoceras validum in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology in 2003, and continue to publish on pachycephalosaurid dinosaurs, in addition to other Late Cretaceous vertebrates. Some of these contributions were published in May 2006 in the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science (NMMNH&S) Bulletin 35 titled: Late Cretaceous Vertebrates from the Western Interior. New publications on dinosaurs and other fossil vertebrate can be found in the NMMNH&S Bulletin 53: Fossil Record 3, published in 2011.

I saw this sign on the way home for lunch today… "A pint of example is worth a gallon of advice."
They spelled "advice" wrong. They had "advise". I thought about "advising" them of their mistake but decided to lead by "example" and take my Mama's "advice" and not poke my nose into other people's business. The sign was in front of a church. Hmmm.
I grabbed a refreshingly cold green tea from the vending machine on my way back to my office upstairs in Smurf Village.
As I opened the secured doors leading into the hallway housing our particular offices, I stepped face first into the left over vapors of an obviously newly released bodily gas. Joy. There go all fond memories that may have remained of a scrumptious lunch as well as any anticipation of a delicious supper.

How to Help your Local Developer CommunitySendGrid Team
Part of being a developer evangelist is helping support and nurture the local community. When you're just starting something new, like developing in a new language, starting your own company, or even starting a new habit like reading a book every week, being a part of a community can be the difference between having a great…or having an awesome experience. But the thought of it may seem a little intimidating, so here are some tips to help you get started.
Look for communities
First things first–look for existing communities. There are a myriad of social networks /community sites that you can look into, but some starting points would be:
- Facebook (searching or asking for friends–people love helping)
- Google+
- Google Groups
You'll usually be able to find something searching for "Interest + City/State/Country."
Look for events
After joining a few communities, try to search for and attend some events. There are countless websites you can try to search, but a few starting points:
- Meetup.com for meetups
- Lanyrd.com for conferences
- Eventbrite for events in general
- Social networks like Google+ and good old Facebook
Look for key people
Now that you're starting to get a feel for how the communities are and how the events work, start to follow key people who are part of those communities, those who are constantly helping others and participating in healthy discussions. Look for them on Twitter, Google+, or Facebook (yes, you may follow some people on Facebook! But, don't send friend requests to people you don't know.)
Help your local community. Usually, small community organizers do what they do because it's their passion. They usually have a full-time job, and do what they can in their spare time, so offer to help. Try and give a talk about a subject that you love regarding that community (just started using Go in your project? Give a talk about how the transition went!), help other participants in those communities, take pictures and help spread the word about meetups or events, connect people who you think might have things in common or who might help each other.
Organize your own events
Okay, so that's all assuming you find a local community or events near where you live. What if you don't? Well, the answer is simple, start one! All the websites and social networks are just as good to find things, as to help you organize your own. Even if there isn't a community already in place, you can probably find communities elsewhere. Reach out to those people, ask them how they started, how their first meetup/event was, and build your own. Start a chapter of an already existing community, like:
- Silicon Drinkabout (http://silicondrinkabout.com/)
- Code.org (http://codeclubworld.org/)
- RailsGirls (http://railsgirls.com/)
- BlackGirlsCode (http://www.blackgirlscode.com/)
And most importantly, don't be afraid of making mistakes, you can always make it better next time. If you have any questions or are interested in more advice, find me on Twitter @heitortsergent

Carmelo Anthony-to-Bulls free agency talks overblown
When it comes to free agents-to-be such as LeBron James, Carmelo Anthony and the like, the possibilities are seemingly endless. That's especially true in early March, when all the questions about how each scenario might actually come to pass don't necessarily need answers yet because, well, it's early March.
So this week, the Anthony-to-the-Chicago Bulls scenario stole all the headlines when the New York Knicks star was reported to have plotted a possible partnership with Bulls big man Joakim Noah at All-Star Weekend in New Orleans.
NBA A TO Z:Phil Jackson talks with Knicks
CARMELO:Knicks' season 'tough to handle'
Yet one person with knowledge of the discussion told USA TODAY Sports that the extent of the talks were overblown and even intimated that Anthony's camp may have made a point to share their chat with the world as a way to remind the Knicks he is considering leaving that extra contract year and about $30 million behind by leaving New York this July. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the private nature of the talks.
That's not to discount the possibility of Anthony landing with the Bulls, though they don't have the necessary salary cap space to sign Anthony and would need to make a number of moves to make this happen. No, it's only to point out that player politics will be part of this puzzle from here until July and much of what will transpire will need to be interpreted.
Case in point: the reported offer to Phil Jackson for a Knicks front-office position being leaked could be interpreted — and we're spitballing here — as their way of making sure Anthony knows that they're considering the biggest and the best in this business if it means he'll stick around.
This story is pulled from NBA A to Z, Sam Amick's column on the league at large. This week's edition also features items on Phil Jackson and Daryl Morey.

Researchers Link Gene to Hereditary Form - of Prostate Cancer
Researchers Link Gene to Hereditary Form
of Prostate Cancer
January 20, 2002
BETHESDA, Md. - For the first time, scientists have publicly reported that they found a gene on chromosome 1 that's associated with an inherited form of prostate cancer in some families. The findings, released on the Internet today in the Advance Online Publication of Nature Genetics will be published in the February issue of the journal by researchers at the National Human Genome Research Institute, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, The Cleveland Clinic and their collaborators.
Ever since 1992, when Johns Hopkins researchers first showed that some forms of prostate cancer could be inherited, scientists have intensely searched for specific genes that cause the disease. In 1996, NHGRI scientists, in collaboration with researchers at Johns Hopkins and in Sweden, studied 91 high-risk prostate cancer families and mapped the first hereditary susceptibility to prostate cancer to a region of chromosome 1 that they called the Hereditary Prostate Cancer 1 Region, or HPC1. Since then, these and other research teams have mapped prostate cancer susceptibly genes to two other parts of chromosome 1, as well as to chromosomes 17, 20 and X.
Now, researchers at NHGRI and Johns Hopkins have identified a specific gene -- called ribonuclease L or RNASEL - in the HPC1 region that contains mutations associated with prostate cancer in some families with a history of the disease. The scientists found mutations that inactivate the RNASEL gene. Scientists at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation have been studying RNASEL for years and have shown that it plays a role in defending cells from viruses and assists in normal cell turnover or programmed cell death. Inactivating this cellular self-destruct mechanism through genetic mutation may explain why some prostate cells become cancerous.
Mutations in this one gene, however, do not explain all forms of inherited prostate cancer, cautioned John D. Carpten, Ph.D., an NHGRI cancer genomics researcher and the paper's lead author, adding, "This is not the only gene involved in prostate cancer. We know that mutations in any number of genes can lead to the development of prostate cancer, and this gene possibly represents a new member in the repertoire of prostate cancer genes."
These germline or hereditary mutations often do not explain the so-called sporadic cases that are not inherited. Sporadic prostate cancer is much more common and is caused by genetic mutations that arise spontaneously in the genes of prostate cells in adult males. In the United States, there is an approximately 16 percent likelihood that an adult male will develop prostate cancer sometime in his life. Of the more than 189,000 cases of prostate cancer diagnosed each year, researchers believe only about 9 percent are hereditary.
Despite these limitations, said Jeffrey M. Trent, Ph.D., NHGRI's scientific director, chief of the Cancer Genetics Branch and the paper's senior author, "The new finding presents a tantalizing clue about the workings of the complex genetic machinery that leads to this common cancer."
"It has been clear for some time that hereditary factors play a major role in prostate cancer risk," added Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., director of the National Human Genome Research Institute. "The discovery of heritable inactivating mutations in a specific gene is an exciting step towards understanding the causes of this common and devastating form of cancer. Ultimately, this should bring us closer to better diagnosis, prevention, and cure."
This discovery will not immediately lead to new diagnostic tests or new treatments. "This is not the breakthrough gene that is going to solve everything," said Patrick C. Walsh, M.D., an author of the study and chairman of the James Buchanan Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes. But it does create a number of new research opportunities for better understanding prostate cancer. Eventually, an improved understanding will lead to better tests and treatments.
"We expect that there will be multiple genes involved in prostate cancer," Trent said, " and as we identify them, we should be able to put together a picture of the factors that convert a normal prostate into the most common cancer in men."
This research was coordinated by NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research and the Brady Urological Institute at Johns Hopkins. It was supported in part by grants from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, U.S. Public Health Service, U.S. Department of Defense, CaPCURE, The Fund for Research and Progress in Urology, The Johns Hopkins University, The Swedish Cancer Society, SSF Genome Programs, V Foundation for Cancer Research, Finnish Cultural Foundation, Paulo Foundation, Ella & Georg Ehrnrooth Foundation and Maud Kuistila Foundation.

More than three-quarters of boomers are unaware of how the Affordable Care Act will affect them, according to a survey released Wednesday by Nationwide Financial. Almost the same percentage aren't aware that the ACA does not cover long-term care expenses.
Harris Interactive surveyed more than 800 pre-retirees with at least $150,000 in annual household income for the report.
"So much is coming back on not understanding the Affordable Care Act, and making some false assumptions that could derail some of the planning, particularly when you look at some of the health care and long-term care costs in retirement," John Carter, president and COO of retirement plans for Nationwide, said of responses to the survey.
Although 37% of respondents said they don't know what exchanges are, Carter told ThinkAdvisor on Friday that for many, that may not be a problem, as boomers who are over 65 and eligible for Medicare don't need to worry about the exchanges, anyway.
"Anyone who is over 65 is not going to use the exchanges at all. They're going to be on Medicare. Even something as simple as that can help advisors understand, 'OK, if I'm getting a call from a client who's 65 or older, they're on Medicare. We don't even have to talk about the Affordable Care Act. If I have a client that's younger than 65 that for whatever reason can't have insurance, they're going to have a benefit that will take them to 65, then they go on Medicare.'"
Under the Affordable Care Act, Carter stressed, those who are under 65 can't be denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. "That's kind of the good news for pre-retirees. Historically, many pre-retirees couldn't get coverage because of those conditions."
"Advisors need to understand that [retirees' access to] employer-sponsored health care insurance is declining, and having strategies around or an understanding is something that they're going to need to build a competency on."
More than half of respondents said the ACA would increase health care costs. That's especially troubling to the 74% of pre-retirees who are already afraid health care costs will be "out of control" when they retire. Another troubling statistic, Carter said, is that only 24% of respondents have discussed health care costs with their advisor.
"Even though it's in the media, it's confusing. There's a lot of stagnation and inactivity happening. We really need these advisors to push the discussion around health care costs."
"America's workers really need to start taking more responsibility for their own health care costs in retirement," Carter said. "We find that they need advice from financial advisors to understand the impact of those costs."
He said the implementation of the Act provides a great opportunity for advisors to begin a discussion with their clients about how they will fund those costs. "A 65-year-old couple will need to save to meet their projected out-of-pocket expenses, if they have a 25-year retirement, is $238,000," he said citing research from EBRI. "Advisors have the opportunity to play a really major role in not only educating but guiding pre-retirees to achieve their retirement goal, live better and have healthier lifestyles."
It's a discussion that benefits advisors, too. A 2012 survey by Nationwide found 80% of advisors agree talking about health care in retirement can help them keep their clients.

The outgoing head of NHS England has said hospitals will have to close and services centralised to improve patient care.
Sir David Nicholson called for a radical reorganisation of health services so a smaller number of larger hospitals offer most major surgery while smaller hospitals scale back the care they provide.
In an article in The Daily Telegraph, he warned that the NHS could face a £30bn funding shortfall in just seven years unless it changes the way it provides services.
He called on politicians from all parties to back the controversial reforms, which he fears otherwise could be used to score party political points in the run up to the next general election.
Sir David wrote: "I believe the NHS needs to embark on a programme of transformational change to front-line care, arguably the most significant since its creation."
He said the service was "fragmented and confusing" for patients and did not always provide the best possible care for the sick.
And he warned that the NHS simply could not afford to delay the proposed changes
He said: "Like every major health system in the world, we face a big financial problem for the future: the sums don't add up.
"If we don't change, we face a funding gap that could be £30bn by 2021.
"We know that centralised, large units, with concentrated expertise and technology, work best in providing the most effective care.
"So we need to ensure this approach is applied to other parts of the health service, for people with very rare conditions, and for significant planned surgery."
Without sweeping change, services will not be sustainable, he said, adding: "Our NHS does a superb job for millions of people, day in day out, but it cannot stand still - it needs to adapt to survive."
Last year NHS England published proposals calling for the centralisation of major hospital services.
And over the next few months it is due to set out its plans for changes for specialist services, and proposals to ensure GPs provide more services serving larger populations.
The proposals have sparked controversy with fears that many towns will be stripped of their emergency facilities.
But Sir David insisted the changes are crucial to improve the welfare of patients.
He wrote: "The NHS proposals for change always come with controversy.
"Too often the overall public interest gets lost in a debate about winners and losers with too much focus on buildings and not enough on services.
"This time I hope the NHS, the public, policy makers and politicians will join forces to make it happen. As someone who has spent 30 years working in the NHS, I know it matters too much to get it wrong."
He also called for the NHS to do more to "listen to patients and act on their concerns" and make full use of technology to ensure the public is "fully empowered and included in all aspects of the NHS".
Sir David will retire next month after a year in which he has been heavily criticised over his part in the Mid Staffordshire Hospital Trust scandal.
He was in charge of the health authority supervising Stafford Hospital for two years before being appointed NHS chief executive in 2007.

Expand your Easter family fun beyond the traditional Easter egg hunt. Establish some new Easter traditions in your house with these games and activities—from making tie-die Easter eggs to springtime picture frames. Be forewarned: These activities will require Easter edibles! For that, we have entire collections of delicious eats, from Easter brunch and dinner ideas to yummy Easter cupcakes and desserts.
Celebrate this Easter with fun and exciting Easter games and activities. From Easter egg decorating to Easter crafts, there are so many ways to celebrate Easter.
Fill large plastic eggs with age-appropriate toys, stickers and wrapped candy (Tip: Keep safety in mind and avoid choosing small hard objects or round or sticky candies that may pose a choking hazard for children under 6 years of age.). Filling the eggs can be done well in advance of the Easter egg hunt itself, of course. When the big day arrives, keep an eye on young children during the Easter egg hunt, so you'll be right there if they need you. And, if you plan on making your Easter egg hunt an annual event, buy the large plastic eggs immediately after the holiday when they are on sale.
Make tie-die Easter eggs. Squirt or drizzle various colors of paint (not too much!) onto a paper towel. Place a hard cooked egg in the center and carefully wrap paper towel around egg, pressing gently. Remove paper towel carefully. Egg will be colored with a tie-dye effect!
Decorate tiles. Buy inexpensive plain white, beige or pastel tiles from a hardware store or home improvement center. Paint or decorate with stickers.
Customize picture frames. Buy 3" by 5" wooden picture frames. Paste on Stickers or small decorative cut-outs of flowers, birds, eggs or other springtime motifs.
Take an instant photo of each family. Each group can put their photo in their customized picture frame and save as a keepsake of the day. Some families go as far as to actually hire someone to dress as the Easter Bunny and pose with them for portraits.

"I am thinking of a rectangle with integer sides, each of which are greater than one inch. The total perimeter of the rectangle is no greater than eighty inches."
I then whisper the total area to Peter and the total perimeter to Paul. Neither of them are allowed to tell the other what they heard: their job is to work out the rectangle's dimensions.
Their subsequent conversation goes like this:
Peter: Hmmm... I have no idea what the perimeter is.
Paul: I knew you were going to say that. However, I don't know what the area is.
Peter: Still no clue as to the perimeter...
Paul: But now I know what the area is!
Peter: And I know what the perimeter is!
What are the dimensions of the rectangle?

When a tooth is compromised by one or more of these conditions, bacteria may enter the pulp of the tooth and form a buildup of pus called an abscess. Left untreated, a serious infection may result. Some symptoms of an abscessed tooth may include:
There are different methods for the treatment of an abscessed tooth. Fort Worth Cosmetic & Family Dentistry will assess the severity of the infection and may recommend one of the following:

Nate was sleeping soundly in his bed when an Alien came and snatched him up. He barely had time to grab his beloved Teddy Bear so, at least, he wouldn't be completely without a friend from home... "EARTH" that is.
Above is a friend from last years contest, Nate, who is now 11 years old. Nates Mom, Becky, asked me to pick the photo that I thought was the best. Well now, you can see that I am not very good at making decisions. I posted 3.. Ü because they are all GREAT Pics. The costume was made by Becky.
THANKS for your entry Becky and Nate!

I would like to create a custom Ubuntu image based on Natty using Ubuntu Customization Kit. I also want to customize the icons appearing on the Unity Launcher.
I can change the icons on my desktop system with the following command:
gsettings set com.canonical.Unity.Launcher favorites "['firefox.desktop', 'nautilus-home.desktop', 'libreoffice-writer.desktop']"
I tried to run this command from the UCK console while creating the Live CD, but it doesn't seem to work.
Do you have any ideas how I could solve this?

The Houston Dynamo stayed alive in CONCACAF Champions League play Tuesday night after playing to a 1-1 deadlock with Luis Angel Firpo in El Salvador. The Dynamo traveled only 16 players to El Salvador, including the core of the reserve squad that recently clinched the MLS Reserve Division championship. Houston is now 1-1-3 (6 points) and can advance to the quarterfinals with a win over Luis Angel Firpo, which is 2-1-2 (8 points), on November 26 at Robertson Stadium.
The Dynamo are now 6-1-7 in all competitions since their August 24 loss to New York and 12-2-8 overall since their July 15 loss to Chivas de Guadalajara. Tuesday's match was the Dynamo's 45th competitive fixture of the season, not counting the preseason Pan-Pacific Championship. With their playoff games, the Dynamo will pass D.C. United for the most games played by an MLS team this season.
23-year-old midfielder Stuart Holden, wearing the captain's armband, scored in the 16th minute when a long throw from Geoff Cameron bounced in the box and fell to Holden. It was his seventh goal in all competitions this year, the third highest total on the team, all coming since July 12.
Luis Angel Firpo tied the game in the 87th minute when Carlos Monteagudo crossed the ball from the left. Ramon Avila beat Dynamo goalkeeper Tony Caig to the ball at the near post and headed it back toward the penalty spot, where Fernando Leguizamón rifled a shot past two defenders on the goal line.
The Dynamo are now 0-3-4 all-time in games played in Mexico and Central America. Other road ties against Latin American competition came March 12 against CSD Municipal (0-0), September 23 at San Francisco F.C. (0-0), and September 30 against Pumas UNAM (4-4).
Dynamo midfielders Stuart Holden and Geoff Cameron were both issued first-half yellow cards and will miss the final Group B game on November 26 for accumulating two cautions in the group stage.

School for Advanced Studies (SAS) is a full time dual-enrollment high school initiated in the 1988-89 school year as a combined effort of Miami-Dade County Public Schools (MDCPS) and Miami-Dade College (MDC). Students attending SAS complete their last two years of high school while attending MDC, and in most cases, simultaneously graduate with both a high school diploma and an Associate in Arts degree from MDC. The school, fully accredited by AdvanceEd, is located on five campuses of MDC; Homestead, Kendall, North, West, and Wolfson.
Tenth grade students with a minimum unweighted high school grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 are invited to apply and may be admitted for the eleventh grade upon passing the Postsecondary Education Readiness Test (PERT) administered by MDC at levels established by SAS. When the number of eligible applicants exceeds the number of seats available, a random selection process will be utilized to admit eligible applicants. Students apply from all senior high schools in the district and numerous private and parochial schools. Additionally, many home-schooled students choose SAS to complete their secondary studies and begin their transition to college.
Students receive free tuition and fees, free textbooks, and, if eligible, school bus and metro-rail transportation funded by MDCPS. Each semester, students enroll in a minimum of three (3) college dual-enrollment courses, taught by MDC faculty, and four (4) high school courses, taught by SAS faculty. All high school courses are Advanced Placement courses except for Pre-Calculus and Research. The SAS population consists of 720 students; 120 at the Homestead Campus, 240 at the Kendall Campus, 120 at the North Campus, 120 at the West Campus and 120 at the Wolfson Campus.
The opportunity for acceleration and enrichment attracts motivated and academically talented students who wish to advance their studies. One hundred (100%) of our students graduate and continue their academic studies at top colleges and universities in Florida, throughout the nation, or at foreign universities.
The school population reflects the religious, ethnic, and cultural diversity of the community. The school prides itself on a family-like environment, small school setting, and focus on quality education. The small high school environment affords the opportunity for individual student tutoring, counseling, and mentoring by faculty and staff. Students and faculty are supported by parental and community involvement. School for Advanced Studies provides a unique transition between secondary and post-secondary education.
