Plant and Microbial Biology Plant Seminar: What makes heterochromatin epigenetic? Lessons from a single cell spreading sensor
Seminar | April 4 | 12-1 p.m. | 101 Barker Hall
Bassem Al-Sady, University of California San Francisco
Department of Plant and Microbial Biology
The Al-Sady lab interests reside in uncovering the mechanisms that underlie the assembly and fidelity of inheritance of heterochromatin, a specialized protein-nucleic acid composite. Unraveling these mechanisms is key to understanding the manner in which large stretches of the genome can be precisely and heritably partitioned into active and inactive regions. The heterochromatin system presents some unique and unusual features for a cellular self-assembly, such as nucleated, template-guided polymerization to a precise positional extent that have remained difficult to study. Addressing these features requires a multidisciplinary framework integrating biochemical and novel single cell genetic approaches.

Rochester, N.Y.-For the sixth time in the last nine seasons and the eighth time in program history, the University of Bridgeport women's soccer team has won the East Coast Conference regular season title, as the visiting Purple Knights dominated the host Roberts Wesleyan College Redhawks, 5-0, on a rainy and cold Saturday afternoon in Western New York to claim the 2018 crown. With the win, UB finishes the regular season with an 8-1-0 ECC record and a 12-4-1 overall mark. RWC wraps up its 2018 campaign at 5-9-2 overall and 3-6-0 in conference play.
With Saturday's win, the Purple Knights, as the top seed, will now host the number-four seed, Daemen College Wildcats on Tuesday afternoon, October 30 at 3:00 p.m. in one 2018 East Coast Conference Women's Soccer Championship Tournament Semifinal. The other semifinal will featured the number-two seed Mercy College Mavericks hosting the number-three seed LIU Post Pioneers that same afternoon. Tuesday's two winners will meet on Friday, November 2 for the 2018 ECC Women's Soccer Title and an automatic berth in the following week's NCAA Division II National Championship Tournament. If Bridgeport wins, the 2018 ECC Championship Match will take place at 6:00 p.m. at Knights Field.
UB simply dominated play on Saturday outshooting the host Redhawks by a 23-3 margin.
Junior Maegen Doyle (Harwich, England) opened the scoring for Bridgeport at the 26:47 mark in the first half with her team-leading nineteenth goal of the season.
Just 2:01 later, sophomore Andrea Basilicato (Guilford, Conn.) scored her first of two goals on the day.
A tally by sophomore Sara Berglund (Borlange, Sweden) off an assist from classmate Rebekka Skaasheim (Balestrand, Norway) in the 35th would give UB a 3-0 lead heading into halftime.
In the second 45 minutes of action, the visitors got goals from Marieke Kramer (Sr., Megchelen, Netherlands), her first of the year, and Basilicato would find the back of the net for the second time on the afternoon and for the fifth time in 2018.
Bridgeport senior goalkeeper Jennifer Wendelius (Lidingo, Sweden) made three saves to record her seventh clean sheet of the season and solo shutout number 28 of her career.

Are you a believer in the theory that every action gives birth to a reaction? If so, you'll want to be extremely careful about the domain name that you choose for your new official company website.
This is a matter that you can't afford to be too choosy on when looking out for your best interests (and that of your business).
The wrong domain name is one that could haunt you for years to come. It could seriously impair your chances of growing your business into a profitable enterprise. On the other hand, the right domain name can help you get a healthy start and advantage over your competitors. This is the best way to quickly establish your brand in the eyes of your new public.
Perception is the reality in the world of internet advertising
When it comes time to check available domain names, keep this in mind: In the world of the internet, perception can very quickly become reality.
What happens if you choose a domain name that is considered offensive or off-color for any number of reasons? It can spell the doom of your business. It doesn't matter how much damage control you attempt to apply. The stain that clings to your reputation can quickly fester and become fatal. This is why it's so important to choose a name that is memorable. It should also be easy to spell and pronounce, and as inclusive and nonoffensive as possible.
The name you choose needs to accurately reflect your brand
The name that you ultimately choose for your domain needs to be an accurate reflection of your brand.
This is important because this is a name that you will be stuck with for some time. You want to make the best possible first impression. And, you want to do that with the widest number of people, all in the shortest amount of time.
To achieve this, you will need to choose a name that condenses your entire brand into the shortest space. This is what is searched when locating you on the web. It shouldn't be one that embarrasses them to spell out when searching.
The domain name and search engine optimization (SEO) efforts
Did you know that the domain name selection can also impact your SEO efforts? Yes, that has basically been the case since the beginning of time, or should we say the beginning of the internet.
It makes sense, that the domain name is prevalent in search listings (SERPs) and as such, becomes a candidate for propelling yourself that much further ahead when the domain reflects a key keyword. Yes, that was a redundant use of the word, "key."
So, what are we talking about here?
Let me use an example because not only is this an example of a success story (and hence a case study) but it also illustrates the point better than many domain names. I believe you will see it right away.
- The domain is dentalmarketingguy.com
Do you see it? Yes, the keyword phrase, "dental marketing guy" shows up right in the domain name. It ranks well for combinations of that phrase, whether it is the full phrase, "dental marketing guy" or "dental marketing."
Go ahead, search for yourself and see how successful that domain selection is, in terms of keyword and keyword phrases. Or, better yet, take a look at the site (hint: he also has a Dental SEO course to help dental businesses to understand how to use SEO to garner more leads).
The importance of the domain registration service provider
We used to be a domain registration service provider and there is a lot that goes into that service. Many times, the consumer doesn't realize just how much the service provider does for them. But, that is the key thing. It is done for you so you have fewer worries.
Checking the actual domain name(s)
The final piece of the puzzle will fall into place. This happens when you enlist the services of a professional domain name service provider. By doing so, you ensure that someone else isn't using that name.
You don't want to get off to the worst possible start by being hit with an intellectual copyright infringement suit before you've even had a chance to begin.
To avoid this nasty scenario, your service provider will help you determine immediately whether the name you wish to use for your domain is available. If so, you can snap it up and proceed to build your new official company website. The sooner you claim your domain and put up your site, the sooner you will be able to begin doing business.
Then, your next step is to write that awesome content for your new domain/site!

The combination of a patient who does not speak well and a doctor who does not listen well is clearly a train wreck waiting to happen. No reason for fault finding, it is what it is. Part of my daily routine for some times has been to write in a journal eventful things. In an attempt to better communicate with the doctor my progression of CIDP, I've started tracking my symptoms in my journal. I am also logging because I want to have a perspective over time. The focus for me is usually "in the moment" which has the potential to distort reality.
Summary of condition for Dr Shabani Visit on February 15, 2018
1. Feet completely numb and pain level (5) at night.

What is the Truth about October Markets?Robert Maltbie Follow |
The truth about October is not about crashes, although it is infamous for a couple notable crashes. Actually, the reality of October is that it's not a bad month for investors. On average, it's up about 40 basis points on balance and is the first month of the best quarter of the year. What affects October and makes it more volatile sometimes is that it's the year-end for mutual funds, and they're selling their losers, which causes a downdraft for the market.
Looking at Singular Research's main indicators as we head into the core of earnings season, our indicators are neutral, but that is up from bearish. So that's moving in the right direction. Now, we're cautious because on a technical basis we've got a mixed picture and all important market indices are below their 200-day moving averages. They need to break above that resistance for us to have a serious advance.
The focus is on earnings per share where we have a situation of bifurcation. We're going to have some really good earnings as well as some really bad earnings. They're going to skew good and very ghoulish. The good earnings should be in Consumer Discretionary, which is projected to be up 9%. No surprise, the downside will be in Energy, which is projected to be down 64% year-over-year, pulling the whole earnings season down.
Our liquidity indicators are net positive, led by corporate activity, M&A, and buybacks. But now, over the last several weeks, the public is starting to flow back into equities. We had a positive $5 billion last month flow into mutual funds and ETFs.
For us, the key to valuations is looking at book or historical replacement value. On that basis, this market is about par, which is good. The earnings yield on the stock market is above the yield on the corporate bond market, so that's why we're getting a lot of these M&A and buybacks because the economics are still there.
We also look at the GDP, and on that basis, the market looks just a little bit rich. So we have this picture that skews just a little bit positive.

tests whether data came from an autoregressive time series process with unit root.
returns the value of "property" for a given model.
Details and Options
- UnitRootTest performs a hypothesis test on the time series data with the null hypothesis that the time series satisfying an AR model has a unit root in the denominator of the corresponding transfer function and the alternative hypothesis that it does not.
- Rejecting the null hypothesis allows the conclusion that the detrended data could have come from a stationary time series.
- By default, a probability value or -value is returned.
- A small -value suggests that the presence of a unit root is unlikely.
- The data can be a list of values {x1,x2,…,xn} or a TemporalData object.
- The model allows the specification of a model , where is the constant offset, is a linear drift, and is the order of the AR model.
- The following model specifications can be used:
Automatic and r "Constant" and "Drift" {"Constant",r} {"Drift", r} general case
- UnitRootTest[data] will choose Dickey–Fuller F test with and .
- UnitRootTest[data,model,All] will choose all tests that apply to data and model.
- UnitRootTest[data,model,"test"] reports the -value according to "test".
- The following tests can be used:
"DickeyFullerF" based on "DickeyFullerT" based on "PhillipsPerronF" adjusted Dickey–Fuller F test "PhillipsPerronT" adjusted Dickey–Fuller T test
- UnitRootTest[data,model,"HypothesisTestData"] returns a HypothesisTestData object htd that can be used to extract additional test results and properties using the form htd["property"].
- UnitRootTest[data,model,"property"] can be used to directly give the value of "property".
- Properties related to the reporting of test results include:
"AllTests" list of all applicable tests "AutomaticTest" test chosen if Automatic is used "PValue" list of -values "PValueTable" formatted table of -values "ShortTestConclusion" a short description of the conclusion of a test "TestConclusion" a description of the conclusion of a test "TestData" list of pairs of test statistics and -values "TestDataTable" formatted table of -values and test statistics "TestStatistic" list of test statistics "TestStatisticTable" formatted table of test statistics

Sustainability has become a buzzword in recent years, and has come to encapsulate everything from recycling to free-cycling. It's even inspired an entire economy around "green goods."
But what does sustainability mean to Corvallis?
Corvallis is a unique community where actions meet ideas, entrepreneurship meets environmentalism, and citizens are able to collaborate with city government, academia, and sustainability organizations.
According to the City of Corvallis Dashboard page, our local government has decreased its CO2 emissions by 9%, decreased its water usage 6.9%, and has decreased its generated landfill waste 11.1% since 2004. Having this type of leadership is inspiring, and thanks to the Corvallis Sustainability Coalition, these ambitions are able to translate into community-wide action.
The Corvallis Sustainability Coalition consists of more than 250 partners, and is a place where both businesses and individuals alike work together in an effort to create and achieve long-term sustainability goals for Corvallis.
This year's Sustainability Fair and Town Hall will be held on Thursday, March 14. The event will have more than 50 exhibits aimed at informing the community about the sustainability efforts of local businesses and CSC action teams. It is free and open to the public—the Sustainability Fair will run from 5 to 7 p.m., and the Town Hall meeting will follow from 7 to 9 p.m. This much-anticipated zero-waste celebration will include live music, and Valley Catering will be providing locally grown foods and refreshments.
In the spirit of the Corvallis Sustainability Fair, here are two Corvallis businesses that embody the sustainability model: Baby-Go-Lucky and Clean Air Lawn Care.
Holly launched the Baby-Go-Lucky diaper service (http://www.babygoluckydiapers.com) just over three years ago, and she is meeting a need in town that is both helpful to families and truly based on a sustainable business model. Baby-Go-Lucky thrives on making environmental diapering attainable by maximizing convenience and economic sense. Baby-Go-Lucky provides a weekly pick-up and drop off service that fits the schedules of her clients, and her washing system is set up to minimize water usage while fully sanitizing the diapers. New clients who sign up for a month of service in April or May will receive an entire week of free diaper service.
Clean Air Lawn Care has come to town! Jack Nickerson has a dual background in environmental geology and environmental activism, and he has a passion to combine practicality with conservation when it comes to lawn care. Jack's expertise, combined with his electric- and solar-powered equipment, have the power to change the entire expectation of what lawn care and landscaping looks like for the Corvallis area in the years to come. The Clean Air Lawn Care website (http://cleanairlawncarecorvallis.com) has a carbon calculator, so prospective clients can estimate their level of participation in reducing carbon emissions for the community. Nickerson will be at the Sustainability Fair on March 14, so look for him there to learn more! He is also offering landscaping coupons through Bicoastal Radio and Oregon E-Trade in the amount of $150 for new clients.

Conflicts Over Climate Issues Derail Senate EPA Budget Hearings

- Democrats Mount Rear-Guard Action Against Republican Assault on EPA Climate Rules
The first Senate hearing considering U.S. EPA's proposed 2012 budget quickly veered off course into skirmishes over the status of climate science and language passed in the House continuing resolution two weeks ago which prevented EPA from implementing greenhouse gas regulations, underscoring the challenges in budget discussions ahead.
Republican Sens. James Inhofe (Okla.) and John Barrasso (Wyo.) walked Environment and Public Works Committee members down memory lane yesterday to point out media accounts in the 1970s that emphasized beliefs in so-called "global cooling" and to suggest that belief in climate science might be similarly upended.
"If we had committed the same amount of taxpayer resources and government manpower that the administration wants us to commit to prevent global warming to prevent global cooling, we would not be the most prosperous nation on earth," Barrasso said. "Advances in science and health care, diseases cured, children's lives saved would not be the reality we would have over those years. Millions of jobs would have needlessly been lost."
His comments put Democratic senators on the offensive, who said that such media accounts did not reflect the belief of mainstream scientists at the time. Debates on the science of climate change and its potential public health threats dominated a significant portion of yesterday's hearing.
In one of the few comments that did touch on the proposed fiscal 2012 budget, Inhofe called for a red pen to be taken to the budget in order to slash climate funding. As it stands now, the budget request is a "fiscal bait and switch" he said, saying the 13 percent in cuts as compared to the $10.3 billion fiscal 2010 level would not make it through Congress because they were mostly from clean water programs with bipartisan support.
"We've seen this before going back to the Bush administration," he said. "EPA proposes significant cuts that appear fiscally responsible, but in truth they are cuts EPA knows Congress will readily restore." The budget would be better served by slashing EPA's climate financing, he said.
Inhofe and Barrasso have offered bills that would handcuff EPA's ability to implement greenhouse gas regulations. Similar legislation is also under consideration in the House.
Saving lives or saving money?
In the heated partisan back-and-forth that occurred yesterday, Sen. Mike Johanns (R-Neb.) told EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, who was testifying on the budget, "Confidence is slipping away in what you are doing."
Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) countered that by pointing to a recent poll from the American Lung Association that found more than three-fourths of voters support stricter limits on carbon dioxide (ClimateWire, Feb. 17). If Americans do not have such protections, she said, it will hamper public health.
"Wise enforcement includes reductions in collateral costs," such as hospital bills, Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D) agreed.
Jackson echoed the message. "I am accountable for ensuring we squeeze every drop of public health protection out of every dollar we get," she said, pointing out she is also responsible for considering where cuts could harm public health.
"If Congress slashed EPA's funding, concentrations of carbon pollution would increase ... the result would be more asthma attacks, more missed school and work days ... and more premature deaths," she said.
Commenting on yesterday's hearing, Sen. Benjamin Cardin (D-Md.) told ClimateWire, "It's hard to talk about the 2012 budget until you finish the '11 budget. We have such a radical approach taken by the House budget for the '11 budget that it will certainly dominate the discussions."
While he praised the 2012 budget overall, he called for boosted funding for the state revolving funds for water projects, which were slashed by 27 percent in the fiscal 2012 budget proposal. "I hope Senator Inhofe would join me; I am prepared to look for reductions elsewhere," he said.
Cutting funding to climate change programming, however, is not the answer, he said. "Those programs are critically important."

One of our most frequent conversations at the Football Transfer Tavern has sparked up again at the bar, as Darren Lewis of the Daily Mirror has told us a certain manager from North London has been to watch Joao Moutinho…again.
Moutinho is one of the most coveted properties in world football and long standing admirer Andre Villas-Boas had been to watch the 26-year-old during Porto's Champions League tie this week in Paris. Of course £22 million rated Moutinho nearly made the move to Tottenham Hotspur in the summer but the deal did not quite go through and it looks increasingly likely that it will be revisited again this winter.
As our Landlord points out, AVB is a frequent visitor to watch Porto as he claims "It is good to see people that are important to me." Whilst one doubts he will be making the trip across London to the Bridge anytime soon, it is understandable he would go back to his old club and familiarise himself with some former players.
Spurs have been making good progress in the Premier League of late and with AVB also taking the cup competitions seriously, it is no surprise he is desperate to land a player who called him "One of the best coaches in Europe."

Board of Directors
JaLynn Prince, President and Founder
JaLynn Prince is Founder and President of Madison House Autism Foundation (MHAF), one of the first and only organizations in this country working exclusively on the issues facing adults on the autism spectrum. In that role, she works on nationwide topics of housing, employment, education, awareness, medical services, safety, concerns involving individuals on the spectrum, and matters confronting family members dealing with autism. The foundation was recently gifted a 400-acre farm in Montgomery County, Maryland, which is serving as an inclusive place for workforce development, respite, therapeutic riding, agricultural involvement and, eventually, housing for adults on the autism spectrum.
Prior to the creation of MHAF, Mrs. Prince worked in broadcasting, management consulting, as a press secretary on Capitol Hill, public relations, community development, and as an arts administrator. Mrs. Prince's first foray into business began while still in college. She is also a global photographer/photojournalist, which has taken her around the world – sometimes traveling with her mentor Steve McCurry, best known for his iconic "Afghan Girl" National Geographic photo. She has documented challenges in healthcare, education, poverty, and disaster recovery as it has affected families, children, and the underserved in developing countries. She has had the opportunity to work with world-famous humanitarians and thought leaders around the world. These experiences have helped shape her desire to step forward to help her adult son, Madison (age 27), who is on the autism spectrum and the hundreds of thousands of underserved adults like him here at home.
Additionally, she is a member of the Royal Academy of Medicine and is one of the authors of Autism Spectrum Disorder in Mid and Later Life.

He co-founded Virion Systems, Inc. to commercialize this thesis, and served as its President and CEO. Subsequent clinical trials ultimately resulted in the licensure by the Food and Drug Administration of RespiGam™ (1996), and Synagis™ (1998) for the prevention of RSV pneumonia in high-risk infants.
In addition, Dr. Prince has developed an avocation as a historian and his most recent work is a biography of Latter Day Saints Church President David O. McKay. He and his wife, JaLynn Rasmussen Prince, are the parents of three children — Chad, Lauren, and Madison.

New DLC Slot for ASRT on PC Foundby Tristan Oliver November 7, 2013
New Characters Incoming?
Found on the Steam Database Wednesday is an unknown, separate package of downloadable content for Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on PC.
It's unclear what the contents of the package are. We only know that it may have been uploaded as late as Tuesday. It's also noteworthy that this is a separate package and not being offered as an update or patch to the existing build. If this indeed proper DLC, this separation may indicate players will have to pay for it.
Some have speculated whether the package delivery is meant to coincide with the announcement of Hatsune Miku Project Diva f for Playstation Vita yesterday. But there are other possibilities, including a tie-in to the recently released The Typing of the Dead: Overkill, which is performing very well on Steam. It is also possible the DLC may have to do with the long forgotten favorite character poll held a while back. Ryo Hazuki won that vote. And given Zazz's addition to Sonic Dash, even a tie-in to Sonic Lost World to boost sales isn't out of the realm of possibility.
It may not be very long before we know what exactly this is. We will stay on top of developments.

Thank you for visiting.
Whether you are a prospective or current patient or a colleague, this website contains an invitation to learn about psychoanalysis and psychotherapy in general, and the services I offer in particular.
The emotional realm is the source of creativity and the seat of suffering. Psychoanalytic treatment, with its emphasis on an intimate partnership between patient and analyst, offers a means to reduce emotional suffering and enhance emotional growth. Its study offers a method for learning about the human mind.
Psychoanalysis was begun by Sigmund Freud, and in the century since its inception has been elaborated, and at times radicalized by new thinking. Psychoanalytic knowledge is the foundation of all modern dynamic psychotherapies. Unlike other forms of therapy, the beneficial effects of psychoanalytically oriented treatment, once established, have been shown to keep developing, even after the conclusion of the work.
In the following sections you will learn about psychoanalysis and psychotherapy, about my background and credentials for offering these services, and how best to contact me. I look forward to our conversation.

Dana, her affiliations and her preparation for offering these services.
Here is a lecture about psychoanalysis by one of America's best known analysts:
Here is an animated film, 3 minutes in length, about psychoanalysis:
Throughout this website, you will find links to published papers and other organizations that attempt to describe various aspects of the psychoanalytic endeavor. Given the complexity of the mind and its effort to make meaning, the best way to learn about psychoanalysis is to experience it.

You know me. Always going from one extreme to the other. Either totally gung-ho or pathetically blasé. Either can't-get-enough-of-it, or sick-to-death-of-it! Either talking your ear off about it or sulking in my room about it. Either totally on fire about it or totally put out about it. Either dancing on the ceiling about it or laying in a heap about it. OK. Enough.
Yup. That's me.
Right now I'm gung-ho for GREEN! The Amazing Liz taught the Ball Bomb exercise and the Green Drink class last Saturday and now I'm all about GREEN.
I watched with intrigue as she blended inordinate amounts of disgusting green things in her Vita Mix. Things like beet greens, kale, chard, spinach. OK, I love spinach. Then she added a titch of orange juice, a lime [rind and all] some frozen strawberries and a banana.
Delish. Healthy. Filling.
This is my fourth day of green. I've had at least a quart for four days in a row! Can you believe it?
I feel lighter, younger, stronger, more committed, prettier [just kidding about that one!] Most of my cravings are gone! G.o.n.e! I'm not trashing-out on junk food. I'm feeling pretty settled in the evening. For instance, I've had some granola and eggs and wheat bread. Pretty good, eh?
Here's the whole green process
2 C cold water
2 T OJ concentrate
2 handfuls of rinsed spinach
2 T flax seed [Winco's bulk section!]
Blend on high for 2 minutes
Add in 2-3 stems of greens, rinsed, [turnip, beet, kale, etc.]
Mix the dickens out of it!
Add a frozen banana, strawberries, a half-lime [with the ends cut off] a handful of ice.
Mix some more! Pour into an iced cup and sip away!
Keep a box of tissue handy for the happy tears that are streaming down your cheeks! It's a delightfully bright and cheerful drink.]
MiX iT uP by using carrots, pineapple, blueberries. Just make sure you have about 60% of it green and 40% fruit. [Or seriously, do half and half at first if you like.] [Do yourself a favor and don't add any sugar! Why ruin a good thing?]
There is a book called GREEN that explains this whole theory of thought that I'm eager to find. This isn't the one I'm looking for, but you get the picture. I Googled it and, seriously, there were over ten thousand images!
I even have green earrings and a green sweater on this morning. Seriously! [Hey, you know that's just a coincidence, right?] [I'm not that nuts!]
Oh. Stop. She says it IS the right book! YAY! Out of ten thousand images I somehow got the right one. It was just meant to be!

Can someone please that has done this mod, open the high/lo beam together and check the voltage of his battery in idle state? and to anyone that has tested this mode, have you encountered any problems?? he doesn't plan to run any extra devices on the system except for a GPS sometimes, so i believe that the voltage would be sufficient.. but he is a little bit of suspicious so please if anyone can help?? thanks

I'm usually a little apprehensive about personal demo reels, since a lot of what I work on is so collaborative. It's always strange taking full credit for something that a team of awesome and talented people helped put together. But alas, when Adam Vadnais tells you that if you're on the hunt for work, you need a reel - - dagnabbit, you listen. So, if you'd like a quick primer on the diverse work that I've had the privilege of completing in about three minutes, get ready because you're in luck!
