Elementary Programs
MELP METCO Extended Learning Program
MELP is designed to enhance the education of our
Boston students and to further meet their individual learning needs. The
goal is to provide targeted specific instruction in the areas of mathematics
and language arts. Students from all six elementary schools come together
on 21 Thursday afternoons throughout the school year to work on mathematics
and language arts skills. The program is taught by Mathematics Specialists,
currently working in the elementary schools, as well as various reading
teachers and specialists. Selected students work in small groups (six studentsto one teacher and one assistant) for approximately two hours per session.
Lunch Group Programs
The primary purpose of METCO Lunch Bunch groups has been, and continues to be, to provide time and a safe space for children of like affinities from different classrooms to come together in an environment where they make up the majority. This lunch group is particularly helpful to students who are in classes where they are one of only a few students of color.
Having our special lunch is not an act of intentional exclusion. Instead, the groups provide a positive environment for students to explore their affinity experience and discuss topics pertinent to them. Students may work on activities or engage in discussions that reinforce positive self-image, reaffirm identity, or address issues of diversity at school. We might also explore feelings, peer relationship issues, or problem solving. Generally, our agenda is driven by the needs of the group of students. At times, our groups are more informal and fun.
Our overall goal in our work with our students is to ensure that all Boston-resident students are being encouraged, motivated, and supported in their academics and social-emotional development.EFFICACY
The goal of this program is to promote the understanding
that intelligence is developmental and "Smart is not something you are.
Smart is something you get." We seek to instill in our students feelings
of competence, purpose and identity so they will recognize their capabilities
and strive to reach their full potential. We also want them to see themselves
as learners, and enable them to turn data into feedback to develop strategiesto overcome academic and emotional challenges.FAMILY FRIENDSThe METCO Family Friends Program is another supportive aspect of the METCO partnership wherein Lexington families volunteer to become "partners" with Boston families. When a child enters one of our schools via the METCO Program, she/he is paired with a volunteer Lexington family (preferably a family with a child in the same classroom or grade level as the Boston child). The Family Friends Program provides opportunities for Lexington and Boston children and their parents to broaden relationships through the sharing of family, cultural and social experiences in their respective communities. At the elementary level, Family Friend students participate in METCO Friends Visiting Days which are scheduled in advance on specified Thursday afternoons. Overnight visitations may occur (individually arranged, if desired) both in Lexington and in Boston. Open and regular communication between families in Lexington and Boston is encouraged throughout the year to help nurture the mutual development of relationships.Middle School ProgramsACADEMICA COACHING (Extended Day)Academic Coaching provides middle school METCO students the opportunity to remain after school for one hour to work on homework with supervision and teacher support.
Extended Day meets after school Tuesday - Thursday 3:00-4:00PM throughout the academic year, supervised by METCO Extended Day staff. Extended Day is an opportunity for METCO students to seek out extra help from teachers and work on homework assignments and projects with support if needed. Students are required to set a goal/s for each homework session. The importance of good study skills, time management, and discussions around college and career planning are also included as part of the Extended Day activities .METCO LHS ACADEMIC SUPPORTAFRICAN AMERICAN & LATINO SCHOLARSThe AAL Scholars Program is a recognition program that identifies African American and Latino students in 10th, 11th and 12th grade at LHS who are exceptional in their achievement and their potential for leadership. It drives these students to stretch and reach for even higher goals and set even higher standards for themselves. Finally, it rewards them through access to supports and knowledge resources and, most of all, personal relationships that will help them be successful now and in the future. It does this through field trips, seminars, weekly meetings, academic competitions, and mentoring relationships with strong, successful adults and with other students. The LHS AAL Scholars Program honors academic commitment and fosters a culture of high scholastic achievement by students at Lexington High School.THE CALCULUS PROJECT
Unlike any initiative in public education to close the achievement gap in mathematics,
the Calculus Project is designed to increase the number of students of color who enroll in
AP Calculus.
The importance of enrolling in high level math classes cannot be underestimated. Not
only does the rigor of an honors or AP math class prepare students to excel on
standardized tests (e.g. MCAS and SAT); but more importantly, those students who are
capable of advanced mathematical thinking have more post-secondary educational
opportunities available.
Students who engage in the Calculus Project participate in a variety of opportunities to
strengthen their math skills. They
Attend challenging yet fun enrichment courses in the summer where highly
qualified instructors pre-teach core mathematical concepts prior to enrollment in
high level math classes during the school year. Become members of a "cohort" in order to provide support to each other.
Are taught that success in mathematics stems from hard work and not an innate
ability established at birth, as well as learn how to work collaboratively in groups
in- and outside of the classroom. Discover how mathematics is applied in the real world through classroom
activities and field trips (this experience is enhanced when they have an
opportunity to meet African American and Latinos who work in STEM
professions during a speaker series that takes place during the summer)
All of these supports as well as the challenges of rigorous mathematics curricula lead
Calculus Project students to achieve at the highest levels in high school and beyond.CALCULUS PROJECTWill meet in room 201 from 9AM to 2PM in the Photonics Building located on BU's campus at 8 St. Mary's Street.2017 Saturday Fall SessionsGrade September October November December8 16th 7th, 28th 18th 9th9 23rd 14th 4th 16th10 30th 21st 11th 2nd

Our good friend Joaquim Arnês once again flew the AFG banner at this show.(see above) He has sent in a brief report below and supplied as with a bunch of pictures, not from the show itself, but rather pictures taken prior to the shows commencement so we can soak up some of the atmosphere.
The concert started exactly the 20:30 in Porto Alegre the Tour's first show of The Wall, in Brazil. It was scheduled to start the 20:00, but many fans were still on the outside, and so the show was delayed starting for 30 minutes.. There were massive queues and many people had camped outside the Stadium since Saturday night. The homage to Jean Charles de Menezes was fantastic, and was made even more special with his family being present at the show.
Above images & review thanks to Joaquim Arnês

Baird Helgeson and Rachel E. Stassen-Berger
Minnesota Republican Party chairman Tony Sutton has formed a new partnership with the Public Affairs Company.
Sutton will embark on a joint venture with Public Affairs, a government relations company.
The news release added to the political swirl over whether Sutton will run for re-election, saying that he "served" as party chairman.
In an interview, Sutton said he would make an announcement on whether he plans to run again next week.
Sutton has stepped down as CEO of Baja Sol Restaurant Group, a fast-casual Mexican chain restaurant co-owned by Republican donor Bill Cooper.
He said he had been transitioning out of the restaurant business for a while.
"My wife, Bridget, runs the company on a day to day basis," Sutton said. Bridget Sutton is president of the Baja Sol company.
He said that 2010 was a "tough year for the restaurant business" but it is "doing fine" and is moving back into growth mode.
Sutton has been praised for orchestrating Republicans' resounding legislative wins in the last election that allowed the GOP to take control of both bodies for the first time in 40 years. Republican candidate Tom Emmer narrowly lost to DFLer Mark Dayton.
Public Affairs Company, in its eleventh year of business in Minnesota, specializes in grassroots advocacy and media relations.
"We have been meeting the needs of our clients for more than a decade. Large or small we have organized grassroots campaigns, handled media relations, and helped dozens of clients navigate challenging political landscapes," Public Affairs Company CEO Steve Knuth said in a release. "We are excited to be working with Tony Sutton, a seasoned political operative who will bring his knowledge, enthusiasm and wide range of contacts to the Public Affairs Company team."
Sutton said it would be possible to handle the new partnership along with the chairmanship.
"I would personally avoid any business that would present a conflict," Sutton said in an interview. He said he wouldn't necessarily avoid having any clients that do business in Minnesota.
Public Affairs Company has offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Washington, DC.

Serving writers, literary agents, and publishers since 1976
What are your submission procedures?
Follow the instructions at: http://www.manuscriptediting.com/submission.htm.
Do you edit both fiction and nonfiction?
I have extensive experience with both.
Do you accept all submissions?
It would be unethical to accept material that I feel cannot be improved with my input. I will always pass on the submission if I feel that I am not the best match for the material (or cannot meet your deadline). I may ask if you'd like a direct referral to a writing coach/mentor who could help you rewrite the material as you learn the craft, or I may ask your permission to forward your material to an editor(s) who might be a better match for your topic or time frame. Also, I don't edit sexually explicit, demonic, hateful, gay/lesbian, or anti-God material.
Is my submission confidential?
How long does it take to hear back from you?
I answer e-mail between 9 am and 9 pm weekdays (Central Time), and sporadically on weekends.
If I send you a chapter, will you provide a sample edit?
Only if I intend to consider your manuscript. If I turn down your manuscript, I will offer to put you in touch with editors who might be a better match for your material or time frame. The editors who accept your submission will provide a sample edit and price quote. When I do believe I'm the best editor for your project, I will perform a sample edit and provide a price quote usually within 24 hours (in other words, I'll jump on it!).
Who are the other editors you might recommend?
I don't employ
other editors, but I do network with about 50 other publishing professionals who
offer similar or adjunct services. (See Book-Editing.com.)
For instance, I'm more likely to consider sci-fi or historical fiction projects. If you send me a Western or a romance, I may ask your permission to send your sample to a few editors who specialize in those genres. My intent is to match the writer with the best publishing professional for the job, and sometimes that editor is *not* me.
These are fellow freelancers, therefore your agreement/arrangement is with that editor/writer, not with me. The copy editors and proofreaders with whom I network have all passed my editing tests. I will usually send your sample to three editors so you can compare styles. The choice of editor is yours. Of course, you can decline my help and keep shopping the Internet.
If you accept my submission do you personally perform the editing or do you farm out the work to other editors?
If I accept your submission I am your ONLY editor.
Can you work on my material right away?
Probably not. Professional editors with long track records and good reputations will have steady workloads. There are times, however, when a client reschedules and leaves a vacant spot on my calendar. My waiting list varies from 2 weeks to 2 years. Check with me and I'll let you know my next opening.
Do you use an editing agreement / contract?
Yes. I use a simple, standard agreement that spells out the scope of the project, the cost, and schedule.
How do I get on your calendar?
I set appointments on a first-come, first-served basis. If we agree to work together, you must return the editing agreement and pay a deposit to secure your spot. You would then have your pick of available openings.
What is the turnaround time once you start?
I budget for about 25,000 words per week. A manuscript with 100k words will take about a month to complete. Editing is a slow, meticulous process.
How much will it cost?
I only charge by the word because too many factors can affect page count, such as font size, spacing, and margins. The price range is 3 to 8 cents per word. The rate depends on the level of editing required, the complexity of the material, and the turnaround time (rush projects are higher). My price is all-inclusive, meaning you will get a copy edit and critique/analysis for the same price. I cannot provide a price quote without seeing a sample.
All work is prepaid either in full or in installments. I will gladly work out payment arrangements so there is no financial hardship (details on request).
What are my payment options?
Paypal, wire transfer, money order, or check. If you use a check, funds must clear before work is started. If you use Paypal, your edited manuscript will be returned to you electronically (CD or memory stick) via the United States Postal Service, with tracking. This provides us with a record of completed delivery.
Will you edit my manuscript in exchange for a percent of profits?
No. The term for that is "on spec" (speculation). I don't know of any editor who will work on spec. It is basically asking the editor to work for free. There's no guarantee that a book will see a profit (or even be published).
Can I contact writers who have previously worked with you?
Sure. Some of my feedback is posted on this site. I will arrange for e-mail or phone contact, if requested.
What's the difference between developmental/substantive
editing and copyediting?
Copy editors work with the writer to make sure that the material is clear, easy to read, and error-free. As a copy editor, I start from the small picture. I begin by analyzing words, sentences, and paragraphs as I work up to the big picture. During the "first read" I deal mainly with English issues such as typos, grammatical errors, misspelled words, awkward sentence structure, and abrupt changes in point of view. The "second read" is more content-based. I watch for problems with the big picture such as plot, pacing, consistency, lack of clarity, and characterization. Because I'm now familiar with the material from start to finish, I can focus on the work's form and purpose. In other words, the developmental edit is part of the second read.
Developmental/substantive editors go about things in the opposite order. They begin by reading the manuscript for the big picture (e.g., plot and character development). Most manuscripts are in need of major revision, so there's no point in copyediting huge chunks of the manuscript that will be either deleted or altered. Their overall suggestions are made usually in a written report to the author rather than within the author's copy, and the writer must figure out how to implement the suggestions. Some developmental editors will work with the author to rewrite parts or all of the manuscript.
What do I get back?
I perform all edits to the file with tracking, and my embedded comments and queries are placed at the exact spot where a problem is noted. You will receive a tracked file that shows my edits. You will also receive a clean file with all edits incorporated. Remember: these are my suggestions. You may accept or override any/some/all of my edits. The final product is yours.
What are some steps an author can take to choose an editor?
An excellent article appeared on Ciao.co.uk (a consumer review site) under the category of "Literary Editors." I have posted it on this site without alteration (and with the writer's permission). Click Here.
What other information do you need to know?
Do you have a publisher or agent in mind for your project?
Do you plan to self-publish?
Are you working toward a deadline or is your time frame flexible?
What help do you think you need with your project?
Finally, I want to know if I have your permission to send your manuscript to editors who might be a better match for your manuscript.
What do you expect from the authors you work with?
Be open to suggestions. The final product is yours, but don't waste your money on editing if you're too attached to your draft and will override all edits.
Don't disappear on me. Let me know how I can reach you during the time I'm editing your manuscript.
Let me work. Don't call or e-mail each day to check on progress. It's impossible to have an overall impression until the entire manuscript is read twice.
Send your work to me on time. If you know you won't be ready by your appointment date, let me know ASAP (at least 45 days before your appointment date) so I can reschedule you. I won't reschedule you if you back out at the last minute.
Remember that this is a professional arrangement. Pay the correct amounts on the dates specified in the editing agreement. Don't delay payment dates or alter payment amounts.
Do you have a policy regarding use of your name in the acknowledgments / preface?
If you have accepted all my edits and the published book is the same as the file I sent you, then you may list me as editor. But please don't use my name if you changed or added material that I have not seen or edited.
Will you work with authors who have self-publishing in mind?
I will work with writers who intend to self-publish but only if they have writing talent and if the book interests me. I urge writers with talent and interesting material to consider the "traditional" route only.
Can you help with the submission process?
I network with publishing professionals who provide book design and layout services, book submission services, and book marketing services. I provide my clients with direct referrals to these specialists, if requested. I believe that each part of the process should be performed by the best person for the job. My talent/gift is copyediting, so I network with experts who pick up where I leave off.
Can you guarantee that my edited manuscript will be accepted by an agent or publisher?
Though I will assist you in making the manuscript presentable and error-free, I cannot guarantee representation or publication (no editor can, or should, make such a promise).

The Damascus boys were dominant in winning their first ever indoor county title. 24 points separated them from second place Walter Johnson (86-62). Damascus team members were the only athletes to break a male county record. The 4x800 relay started off the meet with a record time of 8:04.18. They broke the previous record by 1.75 seconds and won the race by 11.16 seconds.
Thomas Arias ran a personal best time of 1:58.11 in the 800 which broke Chris Moen's county meet record by 0.38 seconds. Sam Martin of Richard Montgomery ensured a fast pace by pushing the first 200 meters in 28 seconds and the first 400 in 59 seconds. Arias took over the lead after the second lap, but Martin, who was fresh and running his first event of the day, fought back to regain the lead. The two exchanged leads two or three times over over the third lap. Arias had a strong kick to run away with it on the final lap in record time.
Also contributing to Damascus's team victory was their 4x400 relay which won by about three seconds in 3:30.71, just missing their own county meet record, and their 4x200 relay which placed fifth in 1:35.46. In addition to the Damascus relays, eleven athletes scored across seven of eleven open events. Scoring members aside from Arias included Anthony Blocker in the 55, Joel Ross in the 300, Ben Constantinides and Denzel Woode in the 1600, Jon Constantinides and DeVante' Thomas in the 500, Jon Constantinides in the 800, Kevin Sanders and James Bartlett in the high jump, and Jake Furr and Kevin Mattingly in the shot put.
After Sanders was eliminated in the high jump after clearing 5-08.00, only two Gaithersburg athletes remained, and Coach Nathan Parry was left with a difficult decision. He decided to pull Alimamy Kallay from the high jump to save his legs for other events and let Zach Fetters continue jumping. Ironically, Fetters missed his next three attempts and Kallay won the county title with fewer misses at previous heights.
Although Kallay would have liked to see how high he could have gone, things worked out for the best. After winning the high jump by default, he placed second in both the 55-meter dash and the 55-meter hurdles before winning the triple jump in 42-07.25. He was the only male athlete to win two county titles and he scored 36 total points by himself. Gaithersburg would place third with 58 points.
Winning the 55-meter hurdles in 7.86 was Kallay's teammate Trevon Carroll. Not many people knew much about Carroll or predicted him to win based on his Montgomery Invitational time of 8.08, but he is actually the top returning 110-meter hurdler in the county with a best time of 15.06. He looked strong at the first developmental meet with a time of 7.7h, and repeated that here at the county championship. He got out to a slow start, but powered ahead of the crowd and won by 0.09 seconds.
In the 55-meter dash, it was Kallay who got out to the best start, but Hassan Dixon of Northwest and Brandon Addison of Watkins Mill chased him down for what appeared to be a tie as far as the eye could see. Luckily for us, the photo finish sorted out the results. Dixon was deemed the new 55-meter county champion with a time of 6.55, while Kallay clocked 6.56 and Addison clocked 6.57. It doesn't get much closer than that!
Kennedy's Bisi Ezekoye was the defending champion and the favorite to repeat, but he pulled his hamstring in the preliminary rounds just after crossing the line. He started in the finals, but pulled up short holding his hamstring just as soon as the race began. Because of this, every single male county champion in 2010 was a first time indoor county champion. Only the Damascus 4x400 repeated.
The 55-meter dash was actually the second time of the meet that Dixon and Addison faced off in a very tight race. The two met earlier in the final section of the 300-meter dash for one of the best races of the day. Clarksburg's Devin Moreno got out fast and looked like he was ready to pull an upset, but Dixon and Addison powered past him on the third curve. Dixon had a slight lead in the final 50 meters, but Addison kept his legs driving and moved by Dixon to win in 35.80. Dixon clocked 35.97 as he fell to the track after crossing the line. Moreno was third in 36.81 and Martin Dally of Walter Johnson was fourth in 36.85.
Dally came back after a short rest to compete in the open 500 where he was considered the favorite. Dally hung way back behind the leaders for the first 300 meters while Jakob Lizon of Magruder pushed the pace. With 150 meters to go, he surged into the front and opened a large lead. He won the heat by 1.45 seconds in 67.05. Rodney Kizito finished third overall in 68.50 while Jon Constantinides finished second overall out of a different heat in 68.45.
Dally's teammate Sean O'Leary also won his first county title. Not satisfied with the pace of the first quarter mile, O'Leary challenged for the lead on the third lap. From that point on, he pushed the pace and strung out the pack, pulling further and further away. On the final lap, the crowd notified him that Jackson Reams of Sherwood was closing fast and he kicked it in for the win in 4:31.21. Reams was second in 4:32.78.
Nicolas Escobar made it look easy in the 3200, but in the end, his opponents did not finish far behind him. He pushed the pace from the first lap and at one point had nearly a ten second lead over anyone else. He won in 9:47.32, but Ishan Dey pulled into second place not far behind in 9:50.59, just ahead of Tarek Elhage of Churchill in 9:50.65. O'Leary doubled back from the 1600 to finish fourth in 9:53.22 while Churchill sophomore Zach Weinstein clocked 9:58.78.
Dally, O'Leary, Dey, Alex Willett, Nicholas Regan and a 4x800 and 4x400 relay combined for 62 points for Walter Johnson, which was good for second place.
The Watkins Mill 4x200 relay was as dominant as they were expected to be in the end, but they received an unexpected challenge from Churchill. Damiete Roberts, who scored in three other events including third in the 55-hurdles in 7.97, sixth in the long jump and fifth in the triple jump, led off for the Wolverines. Churchill sophomore Micah Phillips-Spencer kept pace through the first leg. Churchill's Zach Raker was ahead of Watkins Mill at the break and and held on to a slim lead through the exchange. Watkins Mill's Abdul Mohammad pulled about even with Churchill at the exchange before William Yougnia took over the lead. Churchill's Robert Bowie didn't give up much ground. The 300-meter county champ, Brandon Addison took the baton for the anchor leg and brought home the win in 1:32.97. Churchill, anchored by Jashawn Thomas, was second in 1:34.39.
Sheldon Trotman was the county champion in the long jump. He jumped 20-05.75, which, according to the mocorunning database, was his best jump by 1 foot and 8.75 inches.
We've been spoiled with 55...58...60 foot throwers over the last few years, but that was truly a rare occurence of throwing talent in a small locality. This year, Matt Gordon of Wootton sat on an "uncomfortable lead" of just over 45 feet after his first five throws. Damascus's Kevin Mattingly and Jake Furr had both thrown further in previous meets, but they settled for second and third at this meet with throws of 44-11.50 and 44-09 respectively. When victory was in hand, Gordon gave a small fist pump and loosened up. He let one fly for a personal best throw of 46-04.00. It was over a half foot better than his previous best.
So after three straight years of Sean Stanley and Marcus Brown, the new county throwing king is Gordon. Ironically, it was in the shot put that Wootton had their last individual male county champion. The last time a Wootton male won a county title was when Jared Wasser won the indoor and outdoor county shot put titles in 2003.

Actions You Can Do to Fight Climate Change
Climate change isn't good for the environment.
Its effect can be critical to our health and the environment. It is something that we should take seriously for us to have a better future.
Some of climate change's effects are sea level rise, melting of sea ice, and intense heat waves. These can affect our lives negatively. To help you decrease the effect and fight climate change, here are some actions you can do to fight climate change.
Reduce Emissions
Transportations release carbon dioxide. This is one of the causes of climate change. Whenever possible, use a sustainable transportation instead. You can use a public transportation such as train or bicycle. Carbon dioxide is harmful to our overall health and the atmosphere.
Save more energy
Don't leave unused appliances idle for a long time. Saving energy helps decrease the effect of climate change. Also, you'll save more money and energy at the same time which is good.
Act against deforestation
Trees help us in many ways.
It helps fight climate change by absorbing tons of carbon dioxide. In addition, they also help absorb the water in case of floods. There are countless benefits that we get out of plants. We enjoy products made with them like coffee, tea, tobacco and wine. If you want to check out the types of tea plants and their benefits, check out this tea brochure.
The 3 R's
These simple activities can help our environment a lot. Reducing, reusing, and recycling, are very effective solutions against climate change. Consuming less means more productivity. Reusing helps save money and reduce consumptions. Finally, recycling helps save kilos of carbon dioxide from the waste materials.
These activities are very simple to do. Start your fight against climate change! Together let's act to achieve a pollution-free environment. Doing these small actions can cause a huge effect on climate change.

This is full version of IIT-IIMian (Sanjeev) cutting down Kanhaiya Kumar's hate speech to the size it deserves.
Sanjeev analyzes
– why Kanhaiya hates Bharat Mata
– why fined for women harassment
– allegation of rape on Indian army
– why he is doing PhD on African studies
– why he hates Modi so much
– why he has soft-corner for rapists
– pain over media and politicians worshipping Kanhaiya Kumar
Transcript of video
"Vande Maataram friends,
I once again gathered courage and watched the 'entire' hate speech of Kanhaiya against the Indian Army. Very start of speech is with an objection to why we shout slogans of only 'Bharat Mata ki jai' when we can also say 'Bharat ke Pitaon ki jai, Bharat ke Transgenders ki jai' etc. This clearly shows his mental capacity. Because when we say 'Bharat Mata ki jai', every child knows that we mean 'Victory to India whom we are referring to as our Mother' and not 'victory to Mothers of India'! If you wanna say victory to India by referring to India as your Father, or as your sister, you're most welcome!
But you [Kanhaiya] may have an objection to referring to India as sister because the point which repeatedly comes in your speech is 'Why should we see women as Mothers and sisters only? Aren't there other kind of relationships?' Definitely there are other kind of relationships. Just yesterday information came through news channels that you were fined 3000rs 9 months back because you were spearheading a movement for 'azadi for peeing in public' in presence of women. When a women got indignant by this indecency of yours, and objected to it, then you indecently abused her back, since 'there are other relations than Mother and sister!' as you said.
So it's clear what relations you're taking about. You have repeatedly said in speech that your opponents use binary logic to defame you. You said that if there happen day and night, then then there also exist dawn and dusk. Then by using the very same binary logic however, you don't shy away from abusing brave son's of our soil, Soldiers of Indian Army. You say, that 'while respecting Indian Army, I want to say that rapes are committed in Kashmir by Indian Army soldiers.'
Now my question to you is this, and while only you can tell your state of mind, but my psychological analysis concludes that it's matter of serious concern. Question is that if rapes are infact being committed by Indian Army, then why are you respecting them !?! This implies either you are lying, or else you have soft corner towards rapists.
(Freudian slip- hidden intentions come out sometimes unintentionally while conversing.) So if I translate according to your use of language, then you are saying that, 'While respecting the rapists I want to say that women are raped by rapists!' This implies you respect rapists! This is very much legitimate for you because the number of instances of rapes in areas dominated by your communist party leaders, is in itself evidence enough for attitude of communist leaders towards women and their culprits. Even in Naxalite movements, the way the Naxalites behave with their women comrades is within the public domain only. And the way you spearheaded the movement for 'azadi for peeing in public' by zipping down your pants anywhere anytime even in presence of women, your attitude towards women become clear.
And this even hints the root cause of your intense hatred towards Modi. Your problem is perhaps with his Clean India Drive. Anyways, coming back to topic, first of all please tell us about the binary logic you are talking about. That to implicate entire Indian Army based on 1-2 isolated cases of rapes, not binary logic? Is this not stereotyping? I can also say that because rapes were committed in Begusarai a few days back , hence every person coming from Begusarai is a rapist! Like you are from Begusarai. Just recently in the fort of communists, Kerala, some communists tried hacking to death an autorickshaw driver (just happened 2-4 days back). A few weeks before this, an RSS worker before his aged parents, was beaten to death by communists. Now can I say this is the mindset of all communists, that communists are bloody murderers and rapists? Further, communists since 1942 till now have abused Netaji Subhash as dog and what not! So then do you yourself also have the same views? Perhaps you do also have the same views, even if you don't have the courage to speak openly (because of the way you are thoroughly beaten up after stating publicly every noble view of yours, the way you demand freedom for peeing openly in public in presence of women and get beaten up in courts etc, so perhaps you find it difficult to gather courage to speak ill of Netaji Subhash openly!) But the fact remains that communists have always abused Netaji Subhash as dog. Can we assume this also as being a common view of all communists of today?
Look the thing is, a rapist is a rapist whether he be an Army Soldier, or a civilian, or a student leader from Begusarai, or a CPI worker from Kerala, or anyone! And a rapist deserves not any respect, in fact people like me believe in capital punishment for a rapist. But yes, about the punishment by court marshal in army to an army personnel who commits rape, if such a punishment is given to you, then perhaps you wouldn't have dared to speak out such a moronic dialog. When you dared to pee publicly in presence of women, when you shouted 'Kashmir ki lenge Azadi (We will liberate Kashmir), and when you expressed your hatred towards India; what would have happened to you in the Army, you cannot imagine. And your statement that entire Indian Army (of 48 lakh personnel) is a rapist army based on 1-2 isolated cases, is a matter to drown yourself to death in shame. That you are making this ridiculous accusation on that Army, which is protecting us by putting their lives on line and taking the bullets being fired at us..!
And in that Indian Army, in which if any such case happens, then the punishment to culprit is an example in itself! To explain your argument, you gave example of Luaunda, that when clashes happened between armed forces, thousands of women were raped. Now if rapes happened in Luanda, then what has it got to do with our Armed forces being deployed in Kashmir!?! Yes this example given by you however does make this psychology of yours clear, that when in the last few days people like me raised the question on you, that what progress are you doing in your research in African studies, so maybe you are trying hard to prove that you do know something about African issues as well, and its not the case that you're just doing student union politics without doing any real research studies! But you made a mistake of choosing the wrong context to show off your African know-how!
Now it's a matter of satisfaction that communist parties have distanced themselves from you. Just a few days ago, they were desiring for you to campaign for them in Bengal. They now perhaps feel that its better for you to focus on your research studies for now and build yourself up. They seem to not require your campaigning for now..The kind of outrage that happened after your nonsense speech, after your demand for 'azadi to pee publicly', and after you abused Indian Army. Your actual face became visible. The communist parties perhaps fear that if you campaigned for them, then they might lose the possibility of winning some 2-4 seats which they are hoping for!
I am sad, but not because of you. When we have a long history of producing traitors like Mir Zafar and Jaichand, then its a reality that we as a Nation are obviously capable of producing hoodlums like you. But more than these hoodlums, I have a much bigger problem with those traitors who glamorize these hoodlum traitors, those who project them as heroes in their media channels. I am saddened by those Barkha Dutts who go in Telegraph Conclave and say, 'I met this boy of this height (gesturing to be shorter than her. Barkha is 5'3″, and this prince of ours is 5'6″ ! Either he got down on his knees, no idea why..!) Anyways, it's sad to see these Barkha Dutts, these Rajdeep Sardesais, these Sagarikas, these Arvind Kejriwals, these Rahul Gandhis! All of these, who are so desperate to save their own existences, that they tend to present as hero any chhutbhaiya traitor, and then glamorize him in such a manner, that 'see, a new leader is born..!'
Anyways, regardless of your traitorship, our Nation's army, for your freedom, for your 'azadi to pee publicly', to freely abuse Bharat Mata, will continue to take at themselves the bullets being fired towards you, and you keep shouting your slogans for your so called azadi! It's a duty of people like us however (rest of us nationalist civilians), that these Kanhaiya Kumars and those who glamorize such Kanhaiya Kumars be totally exposed, so that their power ends, and that they cease to be anything more than a joke to the Nation!
Vande Maataram."

In Stock. Communion: the word means "to share in common." It is one of the observances of the Christian faith that we all share as we remember the sacrifice Christ paid for us. Yet many ministries find it difficult to locate appropriate material to facilitate communion and integrate it into their services throughout the year. At the Cross was created to meet this need, offering a wide variety of resources to help you create a genuine worship experience through the observance of the Lord's Supper. David Shipps and David Wise have arranged a stunningly diverse blend of songs and musical styles that even extends to the instrumentation. From fully orchestrated selections to more intimate pieces for piano and cello and solo guitar, this versatile resource also includes instrumental interludes that can underscore speaking or the passing of the elements; the ten choral arrangements with various solos and duets range from the worshipful treatments of "Remembrance" and "Sweetly Broken" to dramatic choral anthems of "Nothing But the Blood" and "At the Cross." In addition to creative suggestions on how each song can be used in worship, the creators have also included a section where different worship ministers share how they observe communion in their church. This is an amazingly original resource that should be on every worship leader's shelf, providing you extraordinary material for your communion services for many years to come.

Every new year brings with it an influx of new spring annuals. Unlike new iPhones that often sell out before they hit the shelves, the shiniest new annual on the market may not be what gets customers excited, unless it is singular enough that it truly offers something new.
Jesse Hensen of Eason Horticultural Resources gives the examples of the Begonia Rise Up series from Westhoff and the Phlox Popstars series from Floranova as genetics that represent marked improvements within their genera that will make them stand out. The Rise Up Series of tuberous begonias, with nine colors in the series, has blooms that take sun or shade and stay upright and outward facing for greater color appeal. Popstars is a collection of seed-grown phlox with a naturally dwarf habit and distinctive starry blossoms that includes four colors and two bicolors.
It's characteristics like these ─ unusual colors or patterns, unique cultivars, distinctive habits ─ that retailers say they look for in new annuals. In essence, among a sea of common, everyday offerings, plants that scream eccentricity get noticed on the retail bench.
"My core consumer does not know new from old. They know flowers, color, and interest. If a plant does something unique (dwarf panicle hydrangeas, for example) it becomes special, otherwise color sells itself," says Jeff Griff of Lowe's Greenhouse in Chagrin Falls, OH.
Color is the No. 1 Selling Point
Knowing that color sells, grower-retailers say they often color block spring annuals at entrances and main display areas to immerse visitors in vibrant shades of flowers the moment they enter the garden center. Combination containers of spring annuals on their own or mixed with other crops like edibles and tender perennials are popular, as well, whether they're targeted toward do-it-yourself or do-it-for-me type customers. Retailers report that ready-made containers are selling well, and consumers often don't balk at the price, focusing instead on the convenience.
"We have started doing more pick-up-and-go mixed containers," says Kate Terrell of Wallace's Garden Center in Davenport, IA. "It seems the more expensive they are, the faster they go. Our customers like the look of a professionally designed mixed container. Other customers will copy the pre-done pots that we have out for sale."
Atrend of note with spring annuals is that, while still a top-selling retail category, they may be starting to lag behind edibles, succulents, and perennials in popularity, as consumers caught up in current gardening trends, such as the eat local movement and pollinator gardening, begin to look for plants outside of their traditional choices.
Griff says that succulents, for example, have grown dramatically as a category, not because they are new plants, but because they are part of a decorating trend taking the place of what may have previously been shelf space devoted to annuals. Another example of something not new at all, but newly popular, is milkweed, which continues to sell well as public attention stays focused on pollinators.
There's a lesson to learn here, Griff says: keep your eyes open the next opportunity and be ready to jump on board when it presents itself.
Retailer Recommendations for Displaying Spring Annuals to Sell
Greenhouse Grower reached out to top retailers to get their recommendations on how to display spring annuals to attract customers' attention for maximum sales. Here are their top tips:
Keep them front and center. Display annuals on tables that are visible from the front parking lot and main entrances to the outside sales area. Creative presentations of annuals on endcaps and tiered displays also attract attention.
Mix them up. Combination containers, with mixes of annuals or annuals mixed with perennials or other crops, are always popular. These can be ready-made for sale or marquee containers that give do-it-yourself customers ideas and inspiration.
Use a prop. Showcase a new or different flower color or a unique plant characteristic with some props that might show it off in a unique way.
Immerse them in color. Color sells. Put your most colorful items up front where people can see them. Masses of color, achieved through color blocking, attract attention.
Offer an exclusive. Select something different to display that customers feel they can't find anywhere else, whether it's a unique variety, something different for each season, or plants in a new format, such as flower towers or upcycled containers.

S: Walnut - Your Birthday Surprise
BC: Happy Birthday Mario
FC: Happy Birthday with Love!
1: Last year, just after your birthday, Josh asked you if you would, "let Mommy buy you a bird for your birthday?" You answered a very decided, "Yes!" That began my year-long plan to find the "perfect" bird! About 10 years ago, you visited a little avian shop and spent a great deal of time with a small parrot. Until recently, you were unable to remember what that bird was called and I tried to find the name of the store, researched various small to medium-sized parrots, and ask around but, ultimately, your memory saved the day. You remembered that the small, intelligent, talking parrot was a Quaker Parrot. I had already found the perfect place to find a hand-fed, well cared for bird - DJ Feathers Aviary, located near Emma's gymnastics - and I knew that would be a great place to find the bird you've always wanted. In late February, I went online to see their pricing and availability. I was surprised and disappointed to see that every available Quaker already had a deposit. I was even more surprised to learn that babies had a weaning period of 10 weeks. A few days later I went into the aviary to ask the owner when she expected to have more Quakers. To my excitement, she had two babies that had not been added to the website. They were only a few weeks old and I would have my pick as to which one I wanted. Without hesitation, I placed a deposit to hold your future friend. I knew you would have to get your present early but another clutch wasn't expected until early summer and that would be too late. Joshua and I spent the next few weeks getting to know both parrots but decided that "701", nicknamed "Walnut" by Joshua, was the one we wanted. Walnut was calmer and "quaked" less than 702 and had an adorable crooked smile! Additionally, Walnut was born on February 14th, 2010; Valentine's Day! I hope you love Walnut as much as we do. Happy Birthday!
2: Josh nicknamed the birds; 701 was "Walnut" and 702 was "Hazelnut" Walnut was very quiet but alert and super sweet! | Hazelnut was so silly, quaking for more food even after he/she had already been fed. Without DNA testing, we wouldn't know if they were boys or girls or one of each!
5: It was very exciting to see little feathers coming in at the tips of their wings but the cutest development this week was definitely their tail feathers!
6: We made our choice this week and started visiting with only Walnut. We noticed the most remarkable changes and growth! Walnut was very interactive and had grown so much!! We loved watching Walnut stretch out that long neck!
8: Look Who's Perching! It was so great to work on "stepping up" with Walnut. We also worked with "kisses". Walnut is such a sweetie. We couldn't believe how many feathers had come in after just one week!
10: At 6 weeks, Walnut was getting very active! We had been waiting to find out if Walnut was a Boy or Girl and on March 30, 2010, thanks to DNA testing, we learned... | IT'S A BOY!! | Walnut also had his first feather trim and boy, did he need it! He kept trying to fly around! He had almost all his feathers but down still remained under his wings. We were quite impressed at how far he'd come in such a short time.
12: What a Pretty Bird! We just LOVE coming to see Walnut! We told Julia our little secret but hopefully, he will stay one for a little while longer | This week, Walnut had rubbed off a few feathers on his head on a toy in his cage - what a silly bird! I just can't wait for you to meet him!
15: You could really see how affectionate Walnut was becoming at just 7 weeks old
16: It's hard to believe how quickly Walnut grew up! I'm sure he'll grow even more before you get to see him but I've tried to capture the moments you missed and I'm sure you'll have many more moments of your own in the future!
19: Walnut is a wonderful little creature and I'm learning why you are so fond of birds as I grow to love him! I can't wait for you to finally meet Walnut and give him his new name, a new home, and best of all, a place in your heart! Happy Birthday!

Topic: The Traveler - A web series
Hey all.
As you may or may not know, I made a short thing called "Whoish! Part one" some years ago.
I then went on to take that idea, and shape it into a web series of sorts, but then after all failed and fucked up, we released what would have been "The Traveler - Episode 1" as "Whoish! Part 2" instead.
However. I've rebranded it as "The Traveler", and we shot episode 2 this summer. It'll be out on November 8, but in the mean time, here's a brand spanking new teaser!
Please help us by liking, sharing and commenting on that video, and let's try together and make it as big as we possibly can!
Also, there will be 6 parts in total, so any support you can give is great!

The molecular scissors that have revolutionised genetics
With a new tool christened CRISPR-Cas9, modifying a genome is within reach for any molecular biology laboratory. This technology, first used five years ago, is generating high hopes for the treatment of genetic diseases. But it has already raised many concerns.
A 'revolution': this is the term used by Vincent Dion, Assistant Professor at the Centre for Integrative Genomics (CIG) of UNIL, to explain what CRISPR-Cas9 has changed in his field. In truth, this new tool is to geneticists what word processing software is to writers. It allows us to modify a genome with disconcerting ease and speed at a low cost. It's therefore unsurprising that it's been hugely popular in basic and clinical research laboratories.
Curious repetitive DNA sequences
It all started thirty years ago, when Japanese researchers sought to understand how bacteria are able to defend themselves against their predators, viruses. In the genome of Escherichia coli, they discovered the presence of curious repetitive DNA sequences. In certain parts of them, the four letters – bases – (A, G, C, T) with which DNA is written form series that are immediately followed by the same sequences in reverse. They can therefore be read in both directions, like palindromes.
This is why, in 2002, other biologists gave them the name CRISPR (pronounced 'crisper'), an acronym for Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. Many years later, American Jennifer Doudna at the University of Berkeley in California and Frenchwoman Emmanuelle Charpentier, who then worked at Umeå University in Sweden, unravelled the mystery behind this behaviour. They discovered that CRISPR acts as a guide for an enzyme, Cas9, which kills the virus by breaking down its genome at specific sites. The two researchers concluded that this coupling 'could be adapted for cutting, in vitro, any DNA sequence of an organism', explains Vincent Dion.
A bombshell
When it was published in the journal Science in 2012, this discovery was a bombshell. At the beginning, the UNIL researcher was still sceptical, however. 'I thought that this technique wouldn't be very practical to manage and I didn't see how it could be useful', he admits. 'But a few months later, when it seemed that it could be used to modify cells from mammals, I realised that it had several potential applications. And that was the "Eureka!" moment.'
He's not alone; take a look at the enthusiasm with which geneticists have begun using CRISPR-Cas9. The two researchers at the origin of this innovation also received a number of prestigious distinctions, most notably the '2015 Breakthrough Prize in Life Sciences', created by the founders of Google and Facebook with an award of $6 million! As proof of its notoriety, this genetic tool even inspired the writers of the science fiction series The X-Files, who attribute its invention to extraterrestrials.
Modifications of all kinds
More realistic, biologists understand that they now have a veritable genetic scalpel or Swiss Army knife, as people often refer to it. The UNIL geneticist prefers to compare it to 'molecular scissors with a homing system'. Whatever it may be, CRISPR-Cas9 can be used to retouch DNA in multiple ways. 'It can be used to eliminate a gene from the genome, or even to replace it with another, or to mutate it in a specific way.'?Or even to change a gene's expression – that is, to activate or deactivate it – 'by changing the way the long DNA molecule is packed into the nucleus', explains Vincent Dion.
Simple, quick and inexpensive
Researchers didn't wait for CRISPR-Cas9's arrival to begin modifying genomes. However, these molecular scissors have changed the game by making these operations much quicker, more efficient and considerably less costly. Previously, before a gene could be cut, it had to be targeted. To this end, 'a model made of two proteins, each of which attaches to one of its ends' was created – in other words, it acted as a sort of stencil allowing them to define the targeted DNA sequence. 'This took four to five months', the geneticist remembers, 'while the design of a CRISPR takes less than an hour'. Instead of proteins, this new stencil effectively uses a single strand of RNA. It recognises the DNA sequence that complements it and quickly pairs with it. Then, it's just up to the CRISPR-Cas9 scissors to take action.
What's more is, it's not expensive. 'Designing proteins, which was done by specialised laboratories, costs between $20,000 and 40,000 but you can get RNA for $100 or $200.'?Studies that were unthinkable five years ago because they would have taken too much time and money have now become feasible. 'We can create banks of cells in which we've mutated tens of thousands of genes. This allows us to study the genes involved in any phenomenon that interests us', observes Vincent Dion.
Improving gene therapy
Accelerating and simplifying research could also have repercussions for medicine. This new tool is, first of all, counted on to improve gene therapy, whose clinical trials have not elicited the expected results. The method consists of introducing a viral vector carrying a 'gene-drug' into the organ or tissue being treated. This could be replaced by CRISPR-Cas9.
The experiments that are currently being conducted essentially focus on the most easily accessible organs, such as the liver, 'which easily absorbs the DNA that we inject', specifies Vincent Dion, 'or the blood, which we can treat outside the organism before putting it back into circulation, or the retina'.
Gene therapy also raises hopes for treating hereditary diseases, such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy or cystic fibrosis. These pathologies result from the alteration of a single gene 'which we can correct or remove, if it's toxic. The experiments conducted on mice are encouraging.'?In humans, we can imagine that, 'even if we only manage to modify a minority of altered cells, this will be enough to improve patients' symptoms'.
In an entirely different area, we can fight the AIDS virus 'by inciting mutations in the HIV that incorporates itself into the genome of infected people', suggests the UNIL researcher. Or treat lung cancer 'by modifying the immune system of people affected to help eliminate tumour cells. A Chinese team has already announced that it is conducting trials with humans. It still needs to be verified that it's not just advertising', cautions Vincent Dion.
A pathway for neurological disorders
For its part, the CIG's team is interested in neurological disorders. We all have sequences of three-letter words in our genome: CAG. 'These sequences are unstable: their size varies from one person to the next and, in the same individual, they change over time', explains Vincent Dion. If DNA has thirty-five or more instances of CAG in a row, this elicits a neurological disorder that progresses accordingly as the series of CAG repetitions grows over the years. 'Fourteen neurological problems are caused by this mechanism; their nature depends on the region of the genome affected', the UNIL researcher specifies.
Among these are Huntington's disease, a hereditary neurodegenerative disease, or myotonic dystrophy, a serious neuromuscular disorder. 'With CRISPR-Cas9', explains Vincent Dion, 'we've succeeded in correcting this atypical mutation. Our idea is to reduce the number of successive sequences in order to end up below the fateful threshold of thirty-five.'
For the moment, researchers have worked on lines of human cells and 'this works relatively well', observes the geneticist, who hopes to be able to recreate the experiment with mice. It's still a long road before we can consider clinical trials, but 'as these diseases are currently incurable, it's worth it to try and move forward'.
Technical obstacles
Before we can dream of adding CRISPR-Cas9 into the therapeutic arsenal, there are a certain amount of problems to solve. Because, beyond the ethical and social issues that it raises, this new tool also comes up against some technical obstacles. One of the main obstacles concerns the high precision necessary, because if the scissors miss their target, this can cause serious damage by cutting or modifying a healthy gene. Currently, 'certain RNAs used as guides are very precise, while others are barely so'. Moreover, the geneticist reminds us, DNA is comprised of three billion pairs of bases – letters – 'and finding a mutation at a given place is currently impossible'. Perhaps these pitfalls will soon be circumvented, given how quickly advances are made in this field. 'In five years, we moved from something no one had ever heard of to a technique that's become standard in laboratories', remarks Vincent Dion. For him, it's a 'new, clear example of research, at first purely fundamental and guided by mere scientific curiosity, which has led to the fine-tuning of a tool capable of revolutionising all of molecular biology'.
A discovery with difficulties
The success of the CRISPR-Cas9 molecular scissors poses some delicate ethical questions. Alain Kaufmann explains. Read more.

Police had intended to tie life-line off to two backhoes. After some uncertainty, both pieces of equipment drove off without attempting it.
Police have threatened to taze Felix and use dogs to attack folks on the ground supporting them. Please call the Cass County Sherieffs Department and let them know people are watching. (269) 445-8644
Police officer throws large log up at Felix.
After turning back workers and their equipment for the last several hours, police have arrived on scene and threatened to cut Felix's life-line.
from MI-CATS
This morning, Michigan Coalition Against Tar Sands (MI-CATS) is taking direct action in the Crane Pond State Game Area to halt expansion of Canadian corporation Enbridge Energy's tar sands pipeline 6B. Enbridge's claim that they have restored the Kalamazoo River after the 2010 spill holds no merit, nor does it justify expanding the pipeline. Tar sands cannot be cleaned up; this material is thick and heavy, it sinks in water, and clings to surfaces. Expanding the pipeline increases the risk of another disaster for all of life and future generations.
Felix of the unconfined Kalamazoo River basin climbed into the trees early this morning to halt the expansion of Enbridge's tar sands pipeline 6B. A rope traverse, spanning a portion of where construction is taking place, is the sole line that holds the platform they are sitting on up in the air. If it were cut and/or tampered with by police or workers they could fall from the tree, resulting in serious injury, possibly even death.
Our friend, Felix, sitting high up in the canopy to halt the construction of Enbridge Line 6B
"Tar sands pipeline 6B is pumping a dangerous concoction which fuels global capitalism. This pipeline is Canada's promise that industrialized capitalism will continue to exploit and oppress the people of the world and the environment. Capitalism guarantees the continued destruction of the natural world. It enables the ruling class to exploit the world's resources and force the rest of the population to labor for the ruling classes profits. Additionally, we are way beyond the verge of climate crisis. It is of utmost importance that carbon emissions stop immediately. Tar sands infrastructure is one example of industries at the root of the oil addiction. By taking action at the root of the problem, we endeavor to stop the symptoms of the problem. If we halt all carbon emissions into the atmosphere and remember how to live in harmony with the earth, there might be hope for life as we humans have known it for a few hundred thousand years."
MI CATS asserts that direct action tactics, including civil disobedience, are now necessary as Enbridge's dominant presence in our bio-region has allowed no room for any constructive alternatives. After three long years of blatant lies and omissions, Enbridge has the audacity to triple the capacity of the same pipeline that poured an ecologically abrasive sludge into the Kalamazoo River. This catastrophe was the largest inland oil spill this continent has ever experienced. While the Kalamazoo spill was the largest, it is one of many devastations brought on by Enbridge. Enbridge's insidious business practices caused more than 800 pipeline spills between 1999 and 2010; that is more than one tar sands spill a week.
All pipelines leak. All markets peak. Capitalism can rot in hell. Enbridge places profit before our families, the ecosystem, our grandmothers, our dogs (yo what up Smokey*?), our grandchildren and the future of life on this planet. The continuation of tar sands transportation through pipelines like Line 6B risk more than just our own backyards; everything in the industry's wake is left defiled and in squalor. Our actions against Enbridge won't stop until Enbridge stops participating in the resource extraction industry. We stand in solidarity with all first peoples' whose lands were forcibly taken from them, Idle No More, Fearless Summer, those working to end corporate personhood, all the species going extinct, those sick and dying thanks to the extraction industry, and all folks fighting oppression in order to live full and happy lives.
*Smokey was a dog who died as a result of the 2010 spill.
This is the third action MI-CATS has taken to stop construction of Enbridge's Pipeline 6B this summer. On July 22nd they locked down to construction equipment, and on June 24 an activist climbed deep inside a section of pipe, halting work for the day.

Glioblastoma multiforme is the most common type of primary brain cancer. Current treatments with surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy are less successful against brain cancers than against other types of cancer. Research is in progress to improve treatment options and prognoses.
The National Brain Tumor Society provides detailed information online. Brain tumors can be benign or malignant, and primary or metastatic. Benign tumors are not considered cancer, but malignant ones are. Primary tumors originate in the brain first. Metastatic tumors develop after a cancer somewhere else in the body spreads to the brain.
Jennifer Clarke and colleagues at the University of California, San Francisco, provided a review of treatment for glioblastoma. "The current standard of care includes maximal safe surgical resection, followed by a combination of radiation and chemotherapy with temozolomide," Clarke reported.
However, the cancer often recurs. In a phase 3 trial coordinated by the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer and the National Cancer Institute of Canada, the median survival time was 12 months for surgery plus radiotherapy, and 14.6 months for surgery plus radiotherapy plus temozolomide chemotherapy.
Research is in progress for more effective therapies. Clarke explained that most new treatments are tried first on recurrent cancers, which have fewer standard treatment options. Chemotherapy possibilities under investigation include alkylating agents, molecularly targeted agents, and epidermal growth factor inhibitors. Immunotherapy and gene therapy are also being studied for glioblastoma.
One approach is to identify biomarker genes and biological processes characteristic of glioblastoma. Nicola V. L. Serao and colleagues at the University of Illinois performed a study of genetic information from 320 individuals diagnosed with glioblastoma. "This aggressive malignant type of primary brain tumor has swift and devastating consequences," Serao wrote.
However, the gene profile is not the same for all patients. Serao's study confirmed several known biomarker genes, and discovered new gene profiles.

This action might not be possible to undo. Are you sure you want to continue?
From the Pulitzer Prize finalist and author of The Moor's Account, here is a timely and powerful novel about the suspicious death of a Moroccan immigrant — at once a family saga, a murder mystery, and a love story, informed by the treacherous fault lines of American culture.
Late one spring night, Driss Guerraoui, a Moroccan immigrant living in California, is walking across a darkened intersection when he is killed by a speeding car. The repercussions of his death bring together a diverse cast of characters: Guerraoui's daughter, Nora, a jazz composer who returns to the small town in the Mojave she thought she'd left for good; his widow, Maryam, who still pines after her life in the old country; Efraín, an undocumented witness whose fear of deportation prevents him from coming forward; Jeremy, an old friend of Nora's and an Iraq War veteran; Coleman, a detective who is slowly discovering her son's secrets; Anderson, a neighbor trying to reconnect with his family; and the murdered man himself.
As the characters — deeply divided by race, religion, and class — tell their stories, connections among them emerge, even as Driss' family confronts its secrets, a town faces its hypocrisies, and love, messy and unpredictable, is born.

Saba Qamar: "An Actor Needs to Be Shameless in Front of the Camera"
An actor needs to be shameless in front of the camera, said Saba Kamar – a reputed Pakistani anchor and actor.
According to her, many Pakistani actors fail to deliver mesmerizing performances only because they are too scared of the camera. While talking about her role in an Indian film against superhit actor Irfan Khan, she told the media that the major reason for her success was her ability to leave the shame behind. There is no shame in playing your role with honesty in front of the camera.
She went on to say that Pakistani actors don't rehearse before playing their role. She was quick to mention that top Bollywood actors do their homework and they are happy to rehearse their roles even when they are already top actors. She was impressed by the dedication of Deepika Padukone and Aliya Bhatt who train for their roles, not just rehearse.
See how Deepika Padekone trained for her XXX film with Vin Diesel.
We wish Saba Qamar best of luck for her ventures in India. We hope she'll be as good as Deepika Padekone.

Austin's a food city. Thanks to our thriving Tex-Mex scene, barbecue galore and food trucks on every corner, it's easy to live here for years and still have a foodie bucket list a mile long.
According to a new WalletHub study, Austin ranked No. 18 on a list of America's best foodie cities. Surprised it's not higher? Us, too. The good news: It's the highest-ranked Texas city on the list (take that, No. 39 Houston).
Austin360Eats 2015 Dining Guide: Top 25 Restaurants
RELATED: Austin's all-star food trailers
WalletHub analyzed the 150 most-populated cities in the United States and ranked their food scenes based upon affordability, diversity, accessibility and quality.
The affordability factor was based around the cost of groceries, beer and wine prices, prices at high-quality restaurants and sales, food and restaurant taxes. The rest of the study factored in the total number of restaurants, the ratio of full-service restaurants to fast-food restaurants, number of food trucks (we had to have ranked high on this one, right?!), healthy food options, farmers markets, ice cream and frozen yogurt shops (I'm getting hungry just writing this list), craft breweries, wineries, coffee shops, grocery stores, butcher shops, food festivals and cooking schools.
Sure, Austin may have ranked lower than we'd like (seriously, Orlando is No. 1?!) but we're still damn proud of the good eatin' we have to offer around town. Plus, we were ranked fifth for low-cost groceries, so that's something.

Royal Oaks Building Group Provide Accessible Customized Homes
- Publish Date: 2010/10/04
- Author: MMI Public Relations
Outline: Triangle Builder Designs Homes That Meet The Americans With Disabilities Act Building Standards.
Main DigestTriangle Builder Designs Homes That Meet The Americans With Disabilities Act Building Standards.
Rich Van Tassel, president of Royal Oaks Building Group, LLC (www.royaloaksbg.com), has announced that the company has implemented new building and design options to better accommodate special needs residents and families within their homes.
All of the offered features adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by Congress in 1990 to prohibit discrimination based on disability. The legislation also sets design standards for public and private facilities and housing, in an effort to better accommodate individuals with disabilities. For additional details on the ADA's design standards, visit www.ada.gov/stdspdf.htm
"We are committed to making every possible effort to accommodate any of our customers' special needs within our homes," said Van Tassel. "We encourage home buyers with special needs to sit down with our staff and learn more about this unique offering and what we can do to make their daily lives a little easier."
In July, Royal Oaks Building Group began building a new handicap accessible home for a disabled veteran and his family as part of Operation: Coming Home II (www.operationcominghome.com/) in its Southern Oaks community in Fuquay-Varina in conjunction with TREACV and the Raleigh/Wake County Home Builders Association. The home will be donated to the Marine and his family on Nov. 4.
Add-on features available for existing inventory homes include the addition of front, rear and garage door ramps, lower shelf heights for closets, and handicap shower bars.
Pre-sale handicap accessible opportunities include larger entry doors throughout the home and options for custom bathroom layouts, including added space around the toilet handicap shower bars, roll-under sinks and sunken showers allowing for facilitated wheelchair access.
Depending on their specific needs, homeowners also have the option to install lower vanities and shelves, easy-to-open handles and levers in place of doorknobs, and ADA-compliant ovens and cabinets.
Royal Oaks Building Group, LLC builds fine homes throughout Raleigh, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, Wake Forest, Cary, Apex and Angier, N.C.
Locally owned and operated, the company focuses on quality of design, construction and customer service, offering a portfolio of plans and a wide selection of included features from which to choose in price ranges from starters to multi-million-dollar luxury homes.
Royal Oaks is a member of the Home Builders Association of Raleigh- Wake County and has received multiple gold and silver awards from the HBA Parade of Homes. In 2008 and 2010, the company received the highly coveted Major Achievements in Marketing Excellence (MAME) Building Company of the Year Award, and in 2008 its president, Rich Van Tassel, was named a recipient of the Builder of the Year Award presented by the Home Builders Association of Raleigh-Wake County (HBA). Additional company awards include the Triangle Business Journal's Fast 50 Award for three consecutive years and the Small Business of the Year by the Apex Chamber of Commerce, as well as consistent listings in the Triangle Business Journal's premier list of residential builders, based annually by volume in the Raleigh-Durham market.
Royal Oaks is proud that a house it built in Fuquay-Varina as part of Operation Coming Home, a project whose mission is to provide injured war veterans with free houses with donated material and labor, won the HBA the Best Community Spirit in the Nation Award in 2010 from the Nationals, America's largest competition for new home sales and marketing professionals and communities.
For more information on special needs features and pricing to install, visit www.royaloaksbg.com or make an appointment by calling (919) 233-3886.

Whether you need a business card, a brochure, or an entire book typeset in Kurdish, we will make the process painless whilst ensuring your intended message is conveyed well to a Kurdish audience.
Kurdish typesetting: Kurmanji or Sorani
There are two standardised versions of Kurdish, often labelled as northern and central. The northern version, Kurmanji, is written in a Roman script while the central version, Sorani, is written in an adapted Arabic script. WorldAccent provides Kurdish typesetting as either Sorani or Kurmanji, and can advise on which is appropriate if you are unsure.
While Kurmanji reads from left to right, Sorani text reads from right to left. Therefore the layout of a Sorani spread must flip – thereby presenting page items to the reader in the same order as the English original. Our studio work with this reversing of layouts every day, providing you with the best options for your Sorani design.
All of our Kurdish typesetting is carried out in-house, meaning we can respond quickly to amendments or queries. This also allows us to advise you during your design process of any potential pitfalls in Sorani.

Interesting synergy of tweets there.
@Artsthink "How can we support artists even better and sustain the extraordinary arts we have?" #achievinggreatartforeveryone
@hannahnicklin "Would you really believe that in an era of tick boxes & statistics previous governments had just thrown money at the arts without justification?"
The arts in the UK is a bit like the sciences – there are some extremely erudite, educated and interesting thinkers out there who create work for the 'illumined'. There are also passionate and committed eccentrics who can only speak through that which they create.There are those who are a bit of both.
We artists are constantly experimenting and exploring. We are interested in process, and what results from that process may or may not have 'value' to the wider public, and those who experience those results may become more interested in the process, and get more 'value', or they may choose not to. They may even participate in the process or emulate it. That is a result.
However, to support the arts, you must support the process and not expect a result or a product. This is to me a very important distinction. Find the process that excites you and support it. If you have money, support it financially, if not, with enthusiasm. Don't measure the results. It's not about that. In the end, after 50-100 years, there may be something to measure, but not when the process is happening. The most fundamental question is, am I interested in this? Does this speak to my passions and my aesthetics? If it does, pay attention and hand over the cash.

A good day for birds -
End of birdtrapping in Malta is coming soon!
After a 4-year long infringement procedure the European Court of Justice (ECJ) ruled that the Maltese trapping season for finches is a clear breach of the EU´s Bird´s Directive. "We are glad that the institutions of the EU finally showed their teeth and confirmed that the Maltese government´s plan to legalise finch trapping was in fact illegal", CABS president Heinz Schwarze said. "We urge Prime Minister Joseph Muscat to accept the ruling and to prepare the trapper´s community for a future without trapping".
The ruling has also direct consequences for the planning of our autumn operations. We are currently mobilising all available resources to ensure that we have a maximum number of teams in the field during peak finch migration in October and November.
You can read the verdict here:
