Biting amoeba acts a bit like the werewolf of parasites
It's microscopic, blob-shaped and toothless. But the amoeba known as Entamoeba histolytica turns out to be the werewolf of parasites.
New research shows that this nearly transparent microbe, a significant scourge in parts of the developing world, carves chunks off a living cell and devours them, leading to the cell's disintegration and death. Never before have scientists discovered an organism that kills cells by biting. The finding could lead to new medications to treat the dysentery and diarrhea caused by the amoeba or to vaccines to prevent infection.
"I've spent my entire career studying this parasite … and I didn't realize this was happening," says study co-author William Petri of the University of Virginia. The amoeba's brutal modus operandi is "something everyone had completely missed for literally 100 years."
Most people infected with the amoeba don't have symptoms, but anyone who has symptoms is likely to be very unhappy. The amoebas colonize the large intestine and bore their way into the intestinal wall, in some cases bursting all the way through the intestine and invading organs such as the liver. Victims may suffer anything from diarrhea to – in rare cases – death. Numbers are hard to come by, but one study of seven low-income countries found that the amoeba is one of the top 10 causes of moderate to severe diarrhea in young children.
Good sanitation and hygiene keep the amoeba from spreading widely in countries such as the United States, but it's a significant problem in India, Somalia and other developing nations. In one slum in Dhaka, Bangladesh, for instance, the amoeba infects one-third of children before their first birthday, according to a separate study by Petri and his colleagues. Infection is an important cause of childhood diarrhea, which can be deadly, and repeated infections can stunt a child's growth.
Researchers have known for more than a century that the amoeba kills human cells, but they weren't sure how it did the deed. So Petri's colleague Katherine Ralston examined a mixture of amoebas and human cells under a microscope. Ralston saw that when an amoeba attached to a living cell, the parasite swiftly began gobbling chunks of its victim's outer covering and innards, inflicting fatal damage. When Ralston added amoebas to a sample of mouse intestines, she saw the parasites nibbling at the intestinal cells before invading the gut tissue. The amoeba "bites" by engulfing a chunk of its victim and pinching it off from the main cell.
"The intestine is a good enough barrier to keep out all the bacteria … but here you have this amoeba chewing and making its way into the gut quite rapidly," Ralston says. "It was pretty surprising to see first-hand just how well they get into the tissue."
The study, published in this week's Nature, shows that, at least in a laboratory dish, the amoeba augers holes in the large intestine in part by nibbling its way into the tissue. The researchers also found that it's possible to hold the amoeba at bay by adding substances that gum up the parasite's cell-biting machinery. The discovery offers a new target for anti-amoeba medications to supplement today's drugs, which work well but may eventually develop resistance.
The study is a "technical tour de force," says Christopher Huston of the University of Vermont College of Medicine, who studies intestinal parasites and was not involved in the new research but has worked with Petri. How the amoeba kills cells "has been really elusive. (The new work) gives a lot of insight into how that's occurring, which is a nice advance."

Editorial: Big money getting a bigger say in politic
Over the course course of a century, reformers constructed a web of rules to curb the ability of a wealthy few to distort the political process with big checks.
Now the reformers are on the defensive, at least on the national level, trying to protect the rules in the face of a hostile Supreme Court and a continuing flood of cash into the political system.
In 1907, corporate donations to campaigns were banned. In 1940, limits were set on how much individuals could donate to candidates. In the 1970s, restrictions were added on the total amount people could give every election cycle to campaigns and various political committees. In 2002 came the banning of "soft money" that sloshed around the system.
But the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling and another decision in a related case opened the way for unlimited corporate, union or individual contributions to groups that keep just enough distance from candidates to claim that they are "independent."
Last week, the court heard a fresh challenge, McCutcheon vs. Federal Election Commission, contesting the personal donation limits that became law in 1974. Under the rules, individuals can donate no more than $123,200 every election cycle — a total of $48,600 to candidates and $74,600 to political parties, associated political committees and the like.
During last week's arguments, Justice Antonin Scalia wondered why keeping these sorts of restrictions still made sense, since cash-flush companies and individuals can direct vast amounts of money toward nominally independent spending on candidates' behalf. His comments were both galling and unconvincing. They were galling because big spenders wouldn't have the opportunity to distort the process if Scalia and his colleagues hadn't handed down Citizens United. And they were unconvincing because donations given to candidates and groups more directly associated with them are more likely to buy influence. Campaign finance reform advocates warn of candidates or party leaders asking for multi-million-dollar checks directly from a few wealthy people, as long as the cash is spread strategically among candidates, state party committees and others involved in election efforts.
Relying on Buckley vs. Valeo, a 1976 Supreme Court case that challenged the 1974 law, the reformers have a shot at prevailing, or at least limiting the damage from a negative ruling. Chief Justice John Roberts seemed open to at least maintaining aggregate caps on donations to party committees.
If anything, Scalia's words should spark an effort to deal with the wide legal channels through which large amounts of money can legally enter and corrupt the political process within the strictures the court majority has imposed. One rational response to the erosion of limits on campaign cash would be more transparency about where money comes from and where it goes. Secret donors injected more than $300 million into last year's elections. Enabling the public to easily evaluate the donors behind campaigns at least would allow citizens to vote against candidates who may be beholden to a wealthy few.
There is one problem. Politicians who once claimed to support more transparency, such as Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., turned against the idea the once reformers began losing in court. That's indefensible.

Tantalus's punishment, now a proverbial term for temptation without satisfaction, was to stand in a pool of water beneath a fruit tree with low branches. Whenever he reached for the fruit, the branches raised his intended meal from his grasp. Whenever he bent down to get a drink, the water receded before he could get any.
When I imagine Tantalus standing in his pool of cool, clear water, it's azure. And the fruit is ripe and perfect: red apples, amethyst grapes, sun-sweetened peaches. But when he goes to eat or drink, not only do the branches evade his reach and the water soak away, but all the color leaches out of his world. In other words, even the visual delight is denied him.
That's how I feel sometimes about my Kindle. I love it, although not to the exclusion of bound books, but sometimes it feels like the reading equivalent of being tantalized.
I have tons of books on there, many (most?) unread. But unlike my TBR shelves, I don't get the visual cues from my Kindle books as I do from paper.
Part of it is not having the cover art, although honestly that's not a pet peeve I choose to rant about. Part of it is not being able to refer to the cover copy, although I do understand that I can access it as long as I'm in range of a wifi network. (I don't have the 3G device.)
But most of it is the sheer grayness of what's on the Kindle.
I love the E-Ink technology, and I don't yearn for color in the visual display.
I yearn for color in the books themselves, in their words, their characters, their plots. I want to start reading a book and lose myself in that author's world, see what she sees in depth and focus. I want to taste all that yummy fruit, not chew on cardboard.
Recently, everything on the Kindle that I opened and started tasted like cardboard. Finally someone recommended Shannon Stacey's Yours to Keep. Not a perfect book, but cute, like a particularly lovely sundress on a pretty TV pitchwoman. Definitely candy for the eyes -- the book, by the way, not the TV pitchwoman.
In Yours to Keep, Emma needs a guy to play her fiancé. Actually, she's already cast the role -- she needs that specific guy, Sean Kowalski, to agree to a month-long run as the fake fiancé. Her motives are pure, and conveniently, if implausibly, there's a sofa in her bedroom, so Sean figures yeah, okay, sure, why not.
Before long, they are sleeping together, but pretending not to be sleeping together for the benefit of those who knew that all along they're supposed to be pretending to be engaged (and pretending to be sleeping together) to keep her grandmother from worrying. Only Gram isn't as stupid as she looks. She sees through the entire charade immediately but figures she won't reveal that she knows so that Emma & her fake fiancé can explore the possibility that they're perfect for each other.
(My only quibble -- as someone already well into her fifties -- was the idea that Gram would be so retired at age 65. Not been my experience of the people I know in their late sixties. Oh, Gram was spry enough physically, but she seemed to think she was old. And she wasn't. That characterization of a 65-year-old told me a lot about how old Shannon Stacey might be...)
Look, it's an amuse-bouche of a book, but it's yummy and fluffy and perfect for a lazy summer read. It will dissolve as fast as you read it. It's cotton candy. Best of all: it's pink, not gray.

Here's our final gallery from the most recent SHIMMER tapings. This was the one where Allysin Kay, as she long ago prophesized, got in the ring with The World Famous Kana (although rumor has it she's still looking forward to a one-on-one confrontation). Also, Athena continued making her case that she is the best by taking on the best in Ayako Hamada. All this, and lots of ninjas. Enjoy!

Ladraa: I hope that I can show that ordinary people can do things that seem extraordinary. I believe that as soon as we stop consider ourselves helpless and start to challenge the limits of what we think we are capable of achieving we will realize that almost all limitations are purely mental. I hope that I can inspire more people to take action in order to come a step closer to the world we all dream of. I don't believe people are trying their best and I hope to show that when you are, you can achieve things that seem pretty difficult - like walking to Palestine!

Mark Tibergien has been on the IA 25 list every year since it's been published, and his sharp mind, insight into the advisory world and passion for the profession hasn't abated over those years. He's as influential as ever in both his leadership at Pershing and in urging advisors to run their practices like businesses and to use their human capital smartly and efficiently. In the years prior to Pershing, when he ran Moss Adams' advisor consulting group, he became the preeminent chronicler of this still-young profession, of what it needed to stay vibrant and growing, and he had the research to back him up.
As we said of him in 2007, "Tibergien speaks easily and confidently on a number of topics of interest to independent advisors, but he's not glib. His fingertip control of Moss Adams' vaunted data, his hands-on work with hundreds of advisory firms around the country, and his keen analytical mind allow him to speak with quiet authority on everything from the Merrill Lynch rule to the culture of accountants to the prices being paid for advisory firm these days. That's why he has been on the IA 25 for every year it's existed."
In 2003, the first year of the IA 25, we said this about him: "Tibergien stands out not only as an authority on the advisor business, but also as a ceaseless campaigner to make it better. Tibergien thinks too many advisors fail to leverage their practices properly in human terms. 'So much of what an advisor does is dependent on himself or herself,' he says. As advisors grow their practices, many add support staff, but they continue to focus the business around themselves. 'They need to become more effective, not more efficient.'"
Tibergien is also a moralist who refrains from sanctimony. In 2007, the fifth year of the IA 25, we wrote in his profile that "most observers of the investment advisory/financial planning universe, and its practitioners, would agree that building businesses out of practices would help advance the profession and provide the principals of those firms with more buck for their sweat equity bang. But only Mark Tibergien positions the issue as a moral one. 'We have to learn to be more responsible as an industry,' he argues. 'You just can't create co-dependency' with your clients—'you have so many people depending on you…and then say "Good Luck."'"
But this is not an elegy. In September of this year, Tibergien will mark his fifth anniversary of taking the CEO's role at RIA custodian Pershing Advisor Solutions, where by all measures he's achieved success. In addition to its growth among high-end RIAs in the United States, those who want to achieve growth and who serve clients with complex financial needs through access to products and markets across the world, using the cutting edge NetX360 technology platform, PAS is now a growing presence in the U.K., where changing regulation is helping to create an environment in which independent advisors can thrive. When he was named to the Pershing position in 2007, we quoted Tibergien as saying "we must create such a superior customer service model that it will make a difference" in advisors' business lives. But perhaps the greatest and most appropriate testament to Tibergien's influence in the advisor space is the people who work with him now, and those who used to work with him who have felt his influence in their careers and made their own influential marks in the industry, such as Philip Palaveev, Rebecca Pomering, Dan Inveen and Eliza De Pardo from his Moss Adams days.
At Pershing, if you speak to any of the executives who run customer service or practice management or technology, at some point they'll mention Tibergien as the practical visionary behind their striving for success. To be successful, you need a vision, but you also need to measure your progress toward success, as Tibergien has long preached in his speeches and in his column for Investment Advisor. He likes to say that "culture is what people do when the boss isn't around," and at Pershing those people have internalized the vision and embraced the measurement. That's a definition of influence that shows itself in all those people's interaction with others.

Alhambra Theatre
33 Canmore Street,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Alhambra Theatre was built in 1922 as a theatre, became a cinema in the 1930's and this continued until the mid-1960's. It was then converted into a bingo club and this lasted for 40 years.
It is a large theatre, holding 1,700, and is built on an extremely sloping site with the foyer at the top of the slope.
Work began in 2007 to restore and re-open the building as a live theatre/performance venue. The Alhambra Theatre was re-opened in 2008 as a venue for music and comedy performances. Film returned from 3rd March 2011, when "The Kings Speech" became the first film to be screened in the building for over 40 years.
In 1991, Historic Scotland designated the Alhambra Cinema a Grade B Listed building.

I have a photograph of this cinema,but not as cinema and there is scaffolding around it, any use?
Looks like the Alhambra's days could be numbered as carlton have commenced work of a 2000 seat purpose-built leisure club in Dunfermline. Hope the locals press the council to do something to retain the Alhambra as a theatre/cinema venue or something in that vein.
The Alhambra Theatre opened on 22nd August 1922. It was built as a theatre with full stage facilites, but had provision to show films as well.
In 1931 a new crush hall was added to serve the seperate entrance to the pit and stalls. It had a seating capacity of 1,700.
It closed as a cinema in the mid-1960's and become a bingo club.
Good news – after the bingo company moved out, The Alhambra has been purchased by developers who hope to restore and re-open the building as a live theatre by the end of 2008. The project is being overseen by a former director of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. There is going to be an open day on December 1st 2007. Further news on the theatre's new website here:

Rep. Connie Mack hit the campaign trail this week to bash Gingrich for saying little about his profitable ties to mortgage giant Freddie Mac – a potent issue in foreclosure-racked Florida.
But when it comes to Mack's profits from Freddie Mac's cousin agency, Fannie Mae, the congressman was mum.
"What's important here is what Newt Gingrich did for Freddie Mac," said Mack, a Republican U.S. Senate candidate from Fort Myers.
The Romney campaign made Gingrich's estimated $1.6 million Freddie Mac consulting work an issue because it was a two-fer: It showed Gingrich was a Washington insider and it has the potential to stoke voter resentment in a state where one in 360 properties is in foreclosure.
But the attack also had a boomerang effect.
At Thursday's Republican presidential debate, Gingrich said Romney had made $1 million from Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae bonds. Romney responded by noting that Gingrich also had invested with the mortgage giant.
And, it turns out, Mack and his wife, California Rep. Mary Bono Mack, have turned a profit as well off Fannie Mae, a government-sponsored enterprise that, along with Freddie Mac, is blamed for stoking the mortgage crisis.
Like Romney, their profits were derived from bonds, not stocks. Romney also said his investments were made by a manager of a blind trust.

Euro rises ahead of ECB meeting
The euro rose against the dollar Monday ahead of a meeting of the European Central Bank later this week.
The euro rose to $1.3112 in late trading from $1.3072 late Friday.
The ECB is meeting Thursday to set interest rates. Most economists don't expect the central bank to lower its rates.

Tim Kennedy won't fight Luke Rockhold, after all.
A few days after Strikeforce officials announced that middleweight matchup, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned Kennedy (12-3 MMA, 3-1 SF) instead will fight Melvin Manhoef (24-8-1 MMA, 0-1 SF) at next month's show.
The bout is expected to be part of the Showtime-televised main card of "Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Henderson," which takes place March 5 at Nationwide Arena in Columbus, Ohio.
The reason for the change was not immediately known. However, sources said bout agreements are in the process of being finalized, though they're currently not signed.
Manhoef actually is the third proposed opponent for Kennedy at Strikeforce's debut show in the Buckeye State. Prior to the Rockhold booking, officials initially targeted a rubber match between Kennedy and Jason "Mayhem" Miller that recently was scrapped.
Kennedy, who recently has struggled to get opponents, fights for the first time since an August decision loss to Ronald "Jacare" Souza for the Strikeforce interim middleweight title. Prior to the defeat, the former IFL fighter won four consecutive fights, which included submission victories over Strikeforce's Nick Thompson, Zak Cummings and Trevor Prangley.
Manhoef, who's also an active K-1 kickboxer, fights for Strikeforce for only the second time. He first appeared in January 2009 and suffered a first-round knockout loss to Robbie Lawler. Combined with that loss, Manhoef now has dropped four of his past six fights. Prior to the skid, the DREAM veteran had posted a 6-1 mark (with six knockout wins) from 2007 to 2008. In fact, 23 of his 24 career MMA wins have come via knockout.
Manhoef announced his event participation earlier today via Twitter but didn't reveal his opponent.
For the latest on "Strikeforce: Columbus," stay tuned to the MMA Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

Content about teaching children to meditate
Dr Cathy Day and Ernie Christie, (of the Office of Catholic Eductaion, Diocese of Townsville, Australia) speak at the video below about their tour of North America - Meditation for Children in Schools. The series of forums happened in September and October in Minnesota, San Francisco, Texas, Phoenix, Jacksonville and Ontario.
This book written by Jeannie Battagin is designed to provide inspiration, support and specific resources for creating and sustaining the practice of Christian Meditation among children, from first grade through to the eighth grade. Her spiritual journey and specifically practice of Christian Meditation has been influenced by an inner calling to teach children this form of prayer. This book is particularly useful for teachers, parents and grandparents who feel the call to teach Christian Meditation to children.
In May 2011, Fr Laurence Freeman taught meditation to children of St. Theresa School in Houston, Texas, USA. Left, he speaks with a kindergarten class. Below, Third graders talk about their experience with the meditation.

Technology transfer – Learning for series production.
In terms of the further development of e-mobility, the knowledge that mechanics, developers and engineers acquire in Formula E is extremely valuable. Formula E thus helps to understand technology and to set new standards in the development of innovative technologies.
The findings that engineers uncover in the harsh competitive environment of Formula E flow directly into the development of future electric drives for series production. Racing enables the testing of new materials, technologies and working methods under extreme conditions – without regard for the limiting factors.
At the beginning of Formula E, engineers from electric vehicle development built the racing cars for Formula E – in other words, there was a technology transfer from the streets to the race track. The direction here has now been reversed.

SUNY Canton Students Make Alumni House GreenerTuesday, September 28th, 2010
SUNY Canton alternative and renewable energy systems students have made hot water cheaper and greener at the College's Blanche K. Woodcock Alumni House.
A class of solar utilization students installed two rooftop heat collectors to learn about solar thermal systems and to benefit the home.
"This is a great example of the innovative ways our faculty implement our signature hands-on education," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "These students' efforts embody our mission to remain dedicated to sustainability and environmental conservation."
Students were involved in the process from start to finish, gaining experience in discussing the benefits of renewable energy, technical training in determining material needs, costs, scheduling and layout. They made two presentations to the College Foundation and facilities personnel to garner support for the project.
The students then installed the two solar collectors on the roof of the house and made plumbing connections to the existing hot water system. The roof-mounted collectors utilize solar energy to warm antifreeze, which in turn warms water for showers, cooking, laundry, and other uses throughout the house. Much like conventional hot water heating, the newly installed system stores the water in a tank for later use.
"A solar thermal system is one of the most cost effective ways to reduce fossil fuel energy consumption for residential applications," said Matthew D. Bullwinkel, associate professor of engineering technology who taught the course. "The students did an excellent job adapting the new technology to the existing structure."
Throughout the summer months, the system produced storage tank temperatures well over 140 degrees Fahrenheit, the minimum recommended temperature setting for hot water tanks.
"The system performed well," Bullwinkel noted. "Many people don't think there is enough sun in Northern New York to use the solar collectors. We actually have enough sunlight to produce more hot water than is currently used at the house."
SUNY Canton students will continue to maintain the system and use it as learning tool. The system will also be used for research into solar hot water performance in the area.
"Being able to collect data from an actual residential setting versus what we would get from simulating one in a lab has been great," Bullwinkel added. "We're appreciative of the overwhelming support we received from Dr. Kennedy, the College Foundation, the Canino School of Engineering Technology, and our facilities department."
The College's Canino School of Engineering Technology is involved in solar thermal curriculum training programs through the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority.
The SUNY Canton Alumni House is located at 8 Stillman Drive in Canton, just outside of the College's 555 acre campus. It was named in 2008 to honor 2006 Honorary Alumna Blanche K. Woodcock.

Thanks to Denea Buckingham from Gourmet Rabbi and the team from Flying Fish for inviting me to their #summermenu tweetup event — although I'm a little confused since it's now autumn. The first time I tried dishes from Flying Fish was at the Taste of Sydney 2010 so it's great to have the opportunity to check out the actual restaurant. Commanding two levels of cosy and atmospheric décor with fully open kitchens and partial water views depending on where you sit makes it quite an impressive space. Bar Manager Rob prepared a refershing welcome cocktail called 'Breakfast at Tiffanys' which isn't on the menu but I think it definitely should be — perhaps ask for it by name. For starters the freshly shucked Claire de Lune Sydney Rock oysters with ocean trout pearls ($4 each) thankfully still contained their briny goodness. The specially prepared canapé of Paleta jamon iberico crostini with espresso mayo worked well and was superbly wafer thin — I could have breathed in a whole plate of them quite easily. The unusual Pop corn prawns with mayo and coriander ($4.50 each) were tasty treats using decently sized king prawns although watch out for any hard unpopped bits.
Sommelier Joe Turnaturi and Head Chef Stephen Seckold talked us through the matching wine selections and dishes. It was clear how passionate and competent they were. Our first dish of Seared yellow fin tuna with ruby red grapefruit ($33) is possibly regarded as one of Flying Fish's signature dishes — same one they served at Taste of Sydney 2010. I liked the accent of red grapefruit against the ever-so-tender tuna although the sauce was bordering on just a bit too sweet for my palate and a lighter dressing would have better suited me. I enjoyed the Confit of Petuna ocean trout ($32) better delivering the right amount of light crunch from the puffed quinoa. The melt-in-your-mouth ocean trout cooked in olive oil for 8 minutes at 43 degrees reminded me of Tetsuya's signature dish. The 2008 Vouray Sec Champalou Chenin Blanc was an excellent match which somehow further emphasised the fish's sea taste on the palate.
My favourite dish was the Prawn ravioli with poached scampi ($35) served in a unique bowl design although it would have been a little easier to eat from a flatter bowl. Good balance of flavours and matched well with the 2009 Vinhos Verdes Quinta do Ameal Loureiro Mihno from Portugal. It's presentation reminded me of Tetsuya's Crab ravioli dish. Another tasty dishes was the Pan roasted hapuka with hazelnut ($44) with green grapes that had their skins individually peeled off — the attention to detail is appreciated in the dish. White balsamic potato provided the right about of acidity to compliment the flavoursome and slightly creamy sauce. The Wagyu Mb7+ sirloin ($48) cooked via a sous-vide water bath for around 5 hours produced tender meat still medium rare. I really enjoyed the full flavoured king brown mushroom with its criss cross surface cuts.
To finish the Gingerbread crumble, apple ice cream, roasted almonds & fennel ($18) had nice depth of flavours although I felt it lacked a centerpiece ingredient to pull it altogether like a poached pear, peach or nectarine. For me it was like having the top of an apple crumble without any filling or base. My fairly non-bitter Cappuccino ($6) helped wash down a large assortment of petit fours. The fruit jelly seemed to be one of the table favourites. Our Polish waitress Iwona was professional, friendly and accommodating which I'd expect all service to hopefully be at such a fine dining establishment. All in all the well presented and thought out dishes gave me a good insight into this 1 hatted restaurant and the only major flaw I found was the very scary toilets which can make your privacy feel very exposed. I think the Restaurant Designer, Michael McCann, from Dreamtime Australia Design has certainly gone for the shock factor just like the Pee Pods at The Argyle — you've now been pre-warned but I guess there goes the surprise factor.

For "Todd" Kennedy and "Nigel" Hussein, family name association is either a blessing or a curse. As SmartMoney notes, the truism holds for mutual fund families as well. The publication took a look at the overall performance of the 10 largest mutual fund companies by assets under management, and although "I have all my money with Fidelity" might impress the neighbors, it won't do much for quarterly statements.
Sure, each company has the star manager they like to market, but what about their other funds?
"Family pedigree, it would appear, doesn't count for much," SmartMoney writes. "Indeed, only two of the 10 largest mutual fund clans–bond-focused PIMCO and Vanguard, known primarily for its benchmark-hugging index funds–managed to finish in the black for 2011. (PIMCO's six dozen funds averaged a 3.6% return, despite Bill Gross' admitted recent slipup.)"
The 10 mutual fund firms, as a group, posted returns of negative 1% during the period, the magazine notes while the as Standard & Poor's 500 returned about 2% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average returned more than 8%.
"The gap between the best-performing firm (PIMCO) and the laggard (Dodge & Cox) wasn't small. An investor staking $10,000 with the former firm's funds would end up with $930 more than an investor who bet on the latter," SmartMoney says.
While the piece adds that they aren't exactly apples-to-apples, "Dodge & Cox's stock market focus probably hurt it vis-à-vis PIMCO last year." Even so, brand name doesn't translate to brand returns, judging from the list.
- Vanguard, $1.4 trillion AUM, 1.5% 2011 return
- Fidelity Investments, $973 billion, -3.5%
- American Funds, $873 billion, -0.3%
- PIMCO, $497 billion, 3.6%
- T. Rowe Price,$349 billion, -1.4%
- Franklin Templeton, $348 billion, -1.1%
- John Hancock, $199 billion, -3.4%
- Columbia, $163 billion, -2.0%
- Oppenheimer, $143 billion, -1.1%
- Dodge & Cox, $113 billion, -5.7%

Fairing lowered over satellites in Kourou
On Sunday 10 May, the fairing of the Ariane 5 was lowered over Herschel and Planck for integration with the launcher. Both satellites are now ready for the launch, scheduled for 14 May at 15:12 CEST.
The fairing of the Ariane 5 is 17 m tall and weighs 2.6 tonnes. After removing the protective foil covering the Herschel telescope, the fairing was lowered, encapsulating the two satellites and the Sylda; ready for mating with the launcher.
Once the fairing was integrated with the launcher, the spacecraft was powered on and a number of functional tests performed to check the status of Herschel, including command checks from the launcher to some of the cryostat valves.
Keeping cool until launch
Herschel was integrated on top of the Sylda support structure (that also encloses Planck) on 30 April. Since then, the main activity has been the top-up of helium-2 in the Herschel cryostat. In the morning of Sunday, 10 May, the required levels of helium-2 were reached: the cryostat was about 96% full and at a temperature just below -273°C (1.7K).
To keep the system cold for the final days on Earth, vent lines on the three insulating shields around the cryostat must be flushed with helium. To connect the lines, operators had to move about on diving boards that had been placed through the small doors in the fairing to the cryostat. They reopened the cryostat, connected the vent lines and then started to flush helium from an external vacuum flask.
Helium flushing continues until the day before launch at which time the cryostat will be closed, all external and auxiliary connections removed and the doors of the fairing closed.

Boy, 6, shares good news about cancer battle
Jordan Barnes cancer-free after 10-month fight
A Raymore elementary school kindergarten student surprised his classmates with news that had the school clapping and crying at the same time.
Jordan Barnes, who was diagnosed with sarcoma of the liver last March, told everyone at Timbercreek Elementary School that he is now cancer-free.
His fight has been an emotional journey for his entire family.
"It has been a lot. In the beginning, he was very sick and going through lots of tests," said his mother, Danielle Barnes.
Doctors gave him the good news six days ago. Teachers and classmates said it's what they'd been hoping to hear.
"I'm very proud of him. He's been through a lot, so to see us finally come to the end of it and to see that smile on his face and to see his hair growing back, it's all surreal to me," Danielle Barnes said.
Jordan was one of the students recognized by the school Tuesday for having outstanding character.
He has another check-up scheduled in three months.

Hello everyone.
Im trying to purify alkaline phosphatase enzyme that has been overexpressed in E. coli BL21DE3. The protein formed inclusion bodies upon IPTG induction. I was able to isolate and purify the protein in the inclusion bodies using denaturing Nickel affinity chromatography. Then i used dialysis to remove the denaturant (8 M urea)
1. After i dialysed the unfolded protein for 48 hrs in a cold room. next day i was able to see a white precipitate at the bottom of the dialysis bag. I assumed it is the salt, but my colleague told it was the refolded protein itself.
2. I performed the assay after concentrating the dialysed samples using a speed vac. Still that white precipitate was visible.However the assay worked.
Was that white precipitate a salt or refolded protein?. Is dialysis not enough to remove urea?
pls help

it was most likely your protein, but not all of it (that's why your assay worked). you may avoid this precipitation if you reduce urea stepwise and slowly.

Pennsylvania no slam-dunk for Democrats
FOREST HILLS, Pa. -- At Rep. Mike Doyle's annual picnic here in this Pittsburgh suburb, Janet Keane recalled coming home during the Depression, when "honest to God, there was nothing to eat."
Keane, 85, a longtime friend of the Democratic congressman, said last week that she's looking for someone who will spare her grandchildren that experience as she tries to decide between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain in the presidential election Nov. 4.
"I like McCain," she said. "But I don't like that he's a Bush man."
At the Jenkintown Jazz Festival a few weeks earlier in the Philadelphia suburbs, social worker Ron Fisher worried about Obama's prospects. "America is trying to find any excuse not to elect him because he's a black man," Fisher said.
The two conversations at opposite ends of the state sum up why McCain and Obama are continuing to compete fiercely for Pennsylvania's 21 electoral votes.
'Have to win'
On paper, the state should be a slam-dunk for Obama: The last Republican presidential candidate to win the state was George H.W. Bush, the father of the current president, in 1988. Democrats also have doubled their edge this year in voter registrations from Republicans, up from a 600,000 lead over the GOP last year to 1.2 million as of last week, in part because the Illinois senator has been engaged in a massive effort to sign up new voters.
But anxieties about the economy and Obama have made for an unpredictable dynamic. Despite a 13-point lead that Obama enjoys in RealClearPolitics.com's compilation of Pennsylvania polls, his supporters here are only "cautiously optimistic," said Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato.
Republicans such as former governor Tom Ridge hope McCain's military record and conservative views on issues such as abortion will appeal to voters in a state where military veterans are about 14% of the population and Roman Catholics about 30%.
Democrats such as Fisher worry that Obama's status as the first African-American presidential nominee of a major political party could hurt him in a state where the only blacks elected to statewide office have been a few judges running on party tickets.
What is giving McCain supporters some hope — and Obama's backers pause — is the Democrat's poor performance in the state's April 22 primary.
Hillary Rodham Clinton thumped Obama by ratios of nearly 3 to 1 in some important Democratic strongholds.
In Cambria County — where McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, drew thousands to a rally in Johnstown on Saturday — Clinton got 72% of the vote to Obama's 28%. In Lackawanna County — where Clinton and her husband, former president Bill Clinton, joined Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden for a rally in Biden's boyhood home of Scranton on Sunday — Clinton beat Obama handily, 74%-26%.
For McCain, Pennsylvania remains a prime target. Today, the Arizona senator makes his 15th visit to the state since June. Obama has made six visits.
"We have to win it," said Ridge, a co-chairman of McCain's campaign. "The candidate who wins Pennsylvania wins it all."
McCain supporters are trying to make the case that he better represents the state's conservative voters. Ridge, a fellow Vietnam War veteran, is highlighting McCain's record as a former Navy pilot and prisoner of war.
The former governor said he also plans to headline a "We're Not Bitter" tour that reminds voters of Obama's controversial remark that people in small Pennsylvania towns "cling to guns or religion" because they are bitter over the loss of manufacturing jobs. Palin also brought up Obama's remark in Johnstown and stressed her opposition to abortion, vowing the GOP ticket would foster a "culture of life."
That message persuaded Anne Soteros of suburban Philadelphia to back the Republican ticket. "I'm right-to-life," she said. "It's always been important to me."
Republicans are also relying on Palin — a hunter and wife of a steelworker — to appeal to Democrats who voted for Clinton.
Judi Pistorius, a retired nurse who spent a recent Sunday working at McCain's western Pennsylvania phone bank, said Palin inspired her to volunteer for a presidential campaign, the first time she's done so. "I was really thrilled," Pistorius said.
Democrats are countering with Biden, whose blue-collar upbringing in Scranton and familiarity to voters in the eastern part of the state — where the Delaware senator is a regular on Philadelphia TV news shows — make him an asset here. He almost hooked Tim Simmons, a telecommunications executive from suburban Philadelphia. "I got more comfortable when Biden got on the ticket," he said. But he went back to his GOP roots when Palin was named. "I think she's a rip," Simmons said, adding: "I agree with Sarah's abortion position."
Race as a factor
Some of Obama's supporters believe that his difficulty in Pennsylvania has nothing to do with the issues. "The hardest part is trying to convince people because he's African American," said Anthony Mosesso, a Democratic committeeman on Pittsburgh's South Side.
If there is a closet vote based on race, Obama strategists hope to trump it by bringing minorities and younger voters to the polls in record numbers. A USA TODAY analysis of state voting registration shows that this strategy has been effective here: The highest rates of new voter sign-ups occur in counties such as Philadelphia, home to several colleges and where the minority population is disproportionately high.
Labor leaders admit they're worried about bigotry in their ranks. The United Steelworkers is training door knockers to respond to racist comments. In June, Rich Trumka, AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer, recounted how a woman from his hometown of Nemacolin, in the state's southwestern corner, told him she wouldn't support Obama because he is black. "We can't tap- dance around the fact that there are a lot of white folks out there just like that woman," he said.
There are fewer of them now after two weeks of bad economic news, said Gov. Ed Rendell, a Democrat. He predicted that economic anxiety will drive conservative Democrats back home. "If you're drowning in the middle of a river and there's some guy on the bank with a long rope, you don't care if he's white, black, yellow or purple," he said. "You just hope he's got a strong enough arm to pull you in."

Today, Open Road Films and Five Star Feature films announced that agreements for distribution have been made for the Steve Jobs biopic "jOBS', reports Deadline. The movie will be released in April of this year.
The film features Ashton Kutcher as Apple co-founder Steve Jobs and is said to feature the 30 years of Jobs's life.
Directed by Joshua Michael Stern, written by Matthew Whitely, shot by Oscar- winning cinematographer Russell Carpenter and produced by Mark Hulme, jOBS details the major moments and defining characters that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2000. jOBS plunges into the depths of his character, creating an intense dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs' life. The filmmakers were granted unprecedented access during shooting to the historic garage in Palo Alto, that served as the birthplace to Apple Inc. jOBS stars Ashton Kutcher, Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine. Inferno Entertainment is handling international sales on jOBS.
'jOBS' will premier at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah later this month.

The flu season is officially under way about a month earlier than usual, the CDC announced on a call marking the beginning of National Influenza Vaccination Week.
In the week ending Nov. 24, the percentage of visits to the doctor attributed to influenza-like illness -- fever, cough, sore throat, or a combination -- was 2.2%, which matches the national baseline.
So far, five states -- Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas -- have reported high flu activity. Georgia and Missouri have reported moderate activity.
"This is the earliest regular flu season we've had in nearly a decade, since the 2003-2004 flu season," CDC director Thomas Frieden, MD, MPH, said on a conference call with reporters.
As in that season, the predominant flu strain circulating so far this year is A(H3N2), which in the past has been an indicator of a more severe flu season and poorer outcomes for the very young and very old.
The good news, however, is that about 90% of all viruses tested have been well matched to the strains found in the trivalent seasonal vaccine, said Frieden, who urged people who have not been vaccinated to do so.
"While it's important to wash your hands, cover your cough, and stay home if you're sick, the vaccine remains the best tool that we have," he said.
Early data from this season indicates that gains made in recent years in vaccination coverage have persisted.
About 37% of people ages 6 months and older have been vaccinated, including 40% of those younger than 18 and 35% of adults. Those figures are similar to those seen at this point last year.
Frieden noted that 47% of pregnant women have been vaccinated, about the same as early in the 2011-2012 season.
Most healthcare professionals have been vaccinated already, with rates of 80% to 90% among pharmacists, physicians, and nurses. Coverage is lower among other healthcare workers, particularly those working in long-term care facilities (49%).
About 123 million of the 135 million doses of influenza vaccine expected to be available this season have been distributed by manufacturers. Frieden said that there have been no signs of any shortages.

What do researchers want?
Nina Cummings, who ably heads our photo archives in the museum shared with me an interesting blog post she saw recently. It was from The Library of Congress and was written by Bill LeFurgy, their digital initiatives manager of the National Digital Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program. The title of the blog post was "What do researchers want from institutions that preserve digital content?" Here at the museum we are working through our digital initiatives so the post resonated on several fronts. The opening statement included this: "User expectations influence so much of what stewardship organizations do. We collect and preserve all content primarily to support use."
I started thinking about this from the perspective of my institution and not just from the digital perspective. This was partly because he cited a quote from "The Blue Ribbon Task Force on Sustainable Preservation and Access" who as a primary finding, wrote "when making the case for preservation, make the case for use. Without well articulated demand for preserved information, there will be no future supply." I think Blue Ribbon committees are incredibly valuable and the point of LeFurgy's article is that researchers should be consulted about what is useful to conserve. It makes a great deal of sense to talk to the experts, the users of the data, about how they see data being used. But when I think about our scientific collections, one thing I have learned through the years is that it falls to the curators and collections staff making and maintaining those collections to make the important decisions about what to preserve. To me, one of the most interesting aspects of this is that it is also essential to do this recognizing that what researchers will want to know in the future does not necessarily have anything to do with current use.
The example I frequently show people in our collection are eggs of Peregrine Falcons that were all collected around 1900. This is the time when egg collecting was at its height and shortly afterward it stopped because of concerns it was detrimental to populations and the thought that there was nothing new to be learned by doing it. In the 1960's, these sets of eggs were used as baseline data to show that eggs laid in the pre-DDT era were thicker than those that were laid after the pesticide began working its way through the North American food chain decimating the nesting success of Peregrine Falcons and other top avian predators. Populations of Peregrine Falcons, Brown Pelicans, Bald Eagles and Ospreys all have recovered dramatically since the pesticide was banned in North America, but I like to point out that this was a valuable use of these eggs that the collectors and researchers in 1900 never dreamed of.
FMNH Peregrine Falcon eggs all collected around 1900.
This often strikes me as an overused example, but a number of my blog posts related to specimens include examples of where older specimens yield new information, e.g., the two chicks of Lanisoma elegans, multiple specimens of seedeaters that proved to be Tiaris grassquits, older specimens of African shrikes that proved to be the recently described Willard's Sooty Boubou (Laniarius willardi), studies of molt by Peter Pyle, and the effect of climate change on North American birds by graduate student Jennifer Phillips. Our earliest specimens date to an era well before DNA sequence data, stable isotope analyses, niche modeling, CT scanning, electron microscopy or a host of other technologies that were not even dreamed of 100 years ago.
So this is the real conundrum for any curator. I believe we need to meet the needs of today's researchers, but I am constantly thinking that the specimens we bring in today provide baseline information that will be extremely useful in the future, even if. today. there is not a big immediate question to address. That is why what we try to collect as much information/material from every specimen. That is why series of specimens of species are essential. Had there been a single set of Peregrine eggs from the 1900s, the fact that they were thicker than eggs laid in the 60s and 70s would have been statistically meaningless. As truly great as our collections are, we frequently find that older series are not large enough to study everything we would like to study today, and of course, we cannot go back in time to change that.
I should come back to digital collections because that is what LeFurgy was talking about. For natural history collections, digitization makes collections more broadly accessible by getting information on-line. That is important, but a primary point we always have to make is that images do not and cannot take the place of the actual specimen. Another related aspect of all this is that I think we need to do a better job of adding images from where we collected (e.g., habitat) to the databases of our specimens. Doing this adds another task what is becoming a long list of data to input when cataloguing specimen and may not be all that useful immediately, but I think the long-term research value of having done this is obvious.
In response to his original question: "What do researcher want from institutions that preserve digital content?" LeFurgy wrote "A smart-alecky way to answer the question… would be: 'why everything, of course' " to which he added "But we don't traffic in snark here, at least not intentionally." It is a fact that we cannot save everything, but our curatorial expertise does include the ability to think beyond present uses, and we should be broad thinking with respect to what we collect and preserve with an eye to what might be needed by researchers far into the future.

Post subject: So what's the deal with rotation and thumbnails?
I'd like someone to talk shop about how picajet handles image rotation and thumbnails. Several times now I've either rotated the image in picajet (then applied the rotation) or rotated it in some other program and every so often I'll find either the thumbnail is the wrong orientation and/or some orientation (either right or wrong) squeezed into a thumbnail with the wrong aspect ratio. I haven't done a thorough testing since it doesn't happen enough to really really annoy me, but it does annoy me. Sometimes said images can be fine when you double click on them, and sometimes (though more rarely) the thumbnail looks fine and the picture itself is wrong. Then there's the times I'll use picajet to rotate with the quick edit and apply the edit and the thumbnail doesn't change (can't remember whether the image did do as it should or not).
I still really hope for a 'resynchronize to original' option in a future version in case something in the file was changed with another program (something I think 'revert to original' should do but apparently doesn't the way I think it should), but for now I'd love for someone to describe how picajet handles thumbnails and image rotation along with the EXIF image orientation flag. I've had it happen enough where the thumbnail/actual image doesn't match what windows explorer's thumbnails and the preview window show that I'm left confused and increasingly annoyed when it does happen.

Some programs after rotation doesn't reset the EXIF rotation tag or change EXIF thumbnail. There is some problems with these files.

Post subject: Funny rotation stuff remains
I'm still experiencing very annoying behavior for all my vertical images I take that aren't auto rotated (or auto rotated incorrectly). When I import them (after having done nothing to them in any other program), I go picture by picture, use the QuickEdit rotate function if it needs it, rate the images, separate into categories and caption as necessary. I then select all and apply QuickEdit, then write info to EXIF/IPTC. That's my process.
The results are that the files I've rotated show up fine in other image programs, but it's almost like Picajet applies the quickedit rotation, but thinks I've selected the picture for another identical rotation, as if I rotated once, applied, then rotated the same way again. So I have to go through and de-second-rotate them and then it looks (so far) like it's fine. The other thing is if I search for any files that have pending quickedit rotations, it will find the ones that have not been rotated (a white rotation icon in the QuickEdit properties bar) as well as all those images that have had QuickEdit rotations applied and are now double-rotated (they have a grey rotation QuickEdit icon).
So what exactly does the QuickEdit rotation do? Does it just change the orientation flag in the EXIF data, or physically make a new file (a lossy rotation)? Why does it notify me that 'this operation can not be undone'? (BTW, what operation in Picajet actually CAN be undone?) And once you've applied the QuickEdit rotation, do you need to write the EXIF/IPTC info to the file to have it updated? What happens if I QuickEdit rotate a picture, write the EXIF data to the file, but never actually apply it?
I really need someone to just explain exactly what happens in the process. I've tried to use other programs to do just the rotation of the images since I've been wary of this problem before, but then ran into some of them not playing nice with Picajet and getting the rotations even more screwed up between the file, the thumbnail, what explorer and the 3rd party programs show and what Picajet shows in the thumbnail and the actual image.
