About Teen Tech Week
Teen Tech Week is a national initiative aimed at teens, their parents, educators and other concerned adults. The purpose of the initiative is to ensure that teens are competent and ethical users of technologies, especially those that are offered through libraries. Teen Tech Week encourages teens to use libraries' nonprint resources for education and recreation, and to recognize that librarians are qualified, trusted professionals in the field of information technology.
Teen use of nonprint resources has increased dramatically in recent years, yet more teens are doing this from home instead of the library. According to a recent study by , in 2005, 86% of youth aged 8-18 have a computer in their home, and 74% have Internet access in their home. On average, 8-18 year olds spend 6 hours and 21 minutes per day using media (including TV, video/DVDs/movies, video games, audio media, computers and print media). Furthermore, according to the, 71% of teens report that the Internet is their primary source for completing school projects. Yet multiple studies have [that shown that the majority of teens lack the critical thinking skills and technical expertise to use the Internet and other electronic resources effectively.Teens need to know that the library is a trusted resource for accessing information and that librarians are the experts who can help them develop the skills they need to use electronic resources effectively and efficiently.
Teen Tech Week is an annual event administered by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA). Promotional partners for 2009 include ALA Graphics, Evanced Solutions, and.is a Nonprofit Supporter. To learn more about TTW, check the Teen Tech Week website.

[Editor's note: Friend of Blogness Craig Peters 0f lohad.com was front and center for the MusiCares tribute to Bruce Springsteen last Friday, and was nice enough to share his thoughts on the experience here.]
Let me start off by declaring that Neil Young did not suck as bad as many people are saying. Not even close.
For my money, and having stood about a dozen feet from him during the MusiCares tribute to Bruce on Feb. 8, I will say this: Argue all you want about him delivering a good or a bad cover of �Born in the U.S.A.,� but don�t try suggesting it wasn�t a powerful performance. It was. End of story, as far as I�m concerned.
Now, with that out of the way, let me thank Blogness for allowing me the chance to share my MusiCares experience with you. I know I�m not the only non-industry fan-type who attended the event, but those of us who were there were vastly outnumbered.
Whether you were there in person or in spirit, I appreciate you spending a few minutes with me here; I�ll try not to be too redundant to what you�ve already read elsewhere. [See the rundown with video and audio at Backstreets.com.] Then again, how could I be? Just like with any Springsteen concert (and I�ve been going to them since 1978 in Syracuse), the MusiCares event undoubtedly provided a unique � and uniquely personal — experience for everyone who attended.
Take the woman from Jersey [Steve Jobs� sister-in-law, as it turns out.�Ed.], for instance, who dropped a quarter-million for that goddamn guitar (she did get to kiss Bruce on the lips) … or Zhenya Gershman, the artist who painted a portrait of Bruce (rising up at The Rain Show?) that was as much a hit at the pre-event silent auction as the Peter Max portrait of The Boss … or Bruce�s daughter�s boyfriend, sitting at the epicenter of such an amazing evening. (I can�t even begin to imagine how infinitely surreal that kid�s life must sometimes be.)
Me? My MusiCares experience began about six months ago when my sister first heard about Springsteen being honored. Knowing my decades-long love of Springsteen and knowing someone in the Grammy organization, she called to beg for some way to be able to buy a couple of tickets. Long boring personal story short: She scored us a pair of tickets and the sibling trip from the East Coast (she from Lawn Gisland, me from the �burbs north of Philly) to Los Angeles was set.
Yeah, my sister is absolutely amazing.
On his brilliant 2008 album �Anticipation,� Lewis Black observes that �all the moments that lead up to the actual moment are truly the best moments.� True enough, the moments leading up to MusiCares were pretty good: The announcement of Jon Stewart as emcee (I�ve been a Daily Show fan since day one). The announcement of the musicians who would be feting Bruce (Elton John! Neil Young! Emmylou Harris! Patti Smith!). The online perusing of the silent auction items. My sister and I both felt like Flounder in Animal House: �Oh boy, this is gonna be great!�
Auction issues
Now, I have been to a number of charity events over the years, and I have participated in my share of auctions. I�ve never seen anything like this. There were nearly 900 items, from jewelry to sports memorabilia to trips and so much more … and, of course, the music memorabilia. Framed Frank Stefanko photos. That original Peter Max painting. Signed guitars and concert posters. Museum-quality photos of Frank Sinatra, Jerry Garcia, Janis Joplin, Hunter Thompson and so many others. Original art by Yoko Ono. Imagine another 850 or so items, and you begin to get the idea. (But what was the deal with that Mr. Coffee machine?!)
There was a big silent auction issue, though, that cost MusiCares a ton of money: The technology used for bidding didn�t work well at all.
Each item had a small tablet that was tied in to a central database for taking and managing bids. More often than not (at least in my experience, as well as the experiences of everyone I spoke with about the bidding process), the tablets seemed to take the bid, but the bid didn�t register. Which meant that you had to fight the crowd to get to one of the few kiosk computers that were working properly.
Bottom line? Lots of bidding went unregistered, and lots of items sold for far less than they otherwise might have. I�m guessing some went unsold that otherwise might have sold had the bidding system worked properly. It�s a shame. A ton of money was probably left on the table.
But if trying to bid on items was the low point of the silent auction (even worse than waiting on line for 20 minutes to get a tiny glass of champagne), the high point of the pre-event event was bumping into fellow Long Islander and Howard Stern Show Executive Producer �Boy Gary� Gary Dell�Abate � �Baba Booey� himself. For my sister, who has been a hardcore fan of Stern since the moment he landed in the New York radio market, it was worth the cross-country trip just to get that photo.
�Where are we?�
At this point, we were all ushered to our tables in the main room. It�s important to understand that there were five levels of tickets that were available to purchase for the event. We had the third level, so we assumed � for months � that we would be sitting somewhere in the middle of the room.
And what a room. It was more like a big TV studio with a huge stage on one end, a circular stage in the middle, and something on the order of 300 tables, each seating 10 people. Black curtains accented with white dots of light-like stars in a sky hung on the left and right walls.
There were ushers leading people to their tables. �Where are we?� my sister asked. �Walk up this way,� the first usher said. We did. Next usher: �Keep walking.� And again. I started thinking about Bob Uecker and that old beer commercial: �Must be in the front row!�
Sumbitch. We were.
We arrived at table 102. Our table. Our front-row table. There was our table, one other table, and the stage. At that other table: Jimmy Kimmel and friends. At the table behind us: Andrew Lloyd Webber.
Of course, I�m posting furiously to my Facebook feed so my friends and family can vicariously experience the night along with us. One former co-worker provided the laugh of the night when I posted that Webber was sitting near us. His response: �Do me a favor, smack him upside the head and when he turns around to confront you just say, �THAT was for Starlight Express.�" It was tempting.
We paid for middle-tier tickets and got a better table than Andrew Lloyd Webber; how did that happen? My sister says my higher power was looking out for us. Maybe. I do know that the woman she called to secure our tickets told us she had nothing to do with the seating. Clearly the Gods of Springsteen Fandom were smiling on us, because while anywhere else in the room still would have been great, it wouldn�t have given us the amazing night we had.
We had a terrific group of people at our table. No celebrities sitting with us (I don�t think; I really suck at star-spotting, though, and that guy across the table did look familiar in a wish-I-could-place-him kind of way), and it seemed that everyone in our little group was there for the music and for Springsteen as opposed to being there out of industry obligation.
The couple on our direct left was from St. Louis and had been to MusiCares events before. The couple on their left was from Philadelphia, and the husband had been to 100+ Springsteen shows. Everyone was giving him the award for being the biggest fan at the table (I�ve only been to about 30 shows since my first in �78 in Syracuse), but his reaction when he learned I posted over at BTX under the screen name �Silvio Van Zandt� made it clear: He won the live shows award, but I had the online scene covered for table 102.
So of course we�re telling stories. First shows (his was Trenton in �73). Nassau Night. Last Dance in the Spectrum. Giants Stadium. And so on. Then he tells us how he went to an event a couple of years ago and was circling Bruce�s table like a shark, but never pulled the trigger to � well, to do that one simple thing that most of us longtime fans want to do: Shake the man�s hand and thank him for the music.
Shortly after, a few people around us started to stand up and look toward the center of the room, a couple of tables back from the stage. �There he is!� �I can�t see him, where?� �Over there!� Yep: Bruce was making his way to his table. My sister looked at me: �Let�s go,� she said. �Okay,� I agreed, and off we went � followed in close formation by Philly couple and St. Louis couple.
Working our way through the crowd was pretty easy � it was only about six tables over, and most people were sitting down and talking to each other. Bruce was standing by his table with Elton John, facing a phalanx of paparazzi who were snapping away furiously. Sting was sitting at the table speaking with someone. Bruce�s bodyguard looked on.
We made our move to the other side of the table. By the time we got there, Bruce was chatting with Zhenya Gershman (I snapped a few pix of the conversation and sent them to her later). I was standing right next to them as Bruce�s bodyguard was trying to clear the area. We stood our ground, though, and a moment later I was shaking hands with the man of the hour.
�I�ve been riding this train since �78 and I just want to thank you for all the music, for being the soundtrack of our lives.�
Bruce smiled and nodded. Mission accomplished. I moved back and Philly husband got his handshake, too.
We all returned to table 102, which in this moment might well have been levitating a foot off the floor for all the adrenaline, excitement, and spirit of victory in the air. High fives and toasts and cheers and smiles and laughter abounded. Philly husband finally closed the loop from years ago. My sister was kvelling that she simultaneously had one hand on Sting and one on Elton John � and that she had seen me do what I�ve wanted to do for so many years, what so many fans like me want to do: I got my chance to say thanks. (Wish I had a photo of it, though.)
Just as the excitement was starting to subside, there�s Jon Stewart chatting it up with Jimmy Kimmel one table over. My sister and I get up and she makes the move: �My brother and I love The Daily Show. Can I take a photo of you and him?� So there I am standing next to Jon Stewart, mumbling something completely idiotic about being a fan and having sat behind the Daily Show desk a couple of set changes ago (until MusiCares possibly the coolest photo of myself that I had), and my sister is fumbling with her cell phone. �Here, let me help you with that,� says Jimmy as he takes the phone and snaps the photo.
So now, the new coolest photo I have of myself is a picture of me and Jon Stewart � taken by Jimmy Kimmell.
Next up came the auction of the big items � not just the quarter-million-dollar autographed guitar, which you�ve read plenty about I�m sure (the sound in the room when Springsteen added an hour-long lesson into the mix was really something), but also a trip and a car: An Acura with a special MusiCares plaque and autographed-by-the-stars headrests.
One guy sitting at Kimmell�s table was bidding against the woman from Jersey who won the guitar; he went as high as $225,000 before giving up, but with every back and forth increase in the figure, there was much cheering and whooping and hollering. What a great scene.
The music
We could have left right there and it would have been a night to remember for all time, but there was some music to be played. You�ve seen the setlist, so there�s no need for me to run through it song by song. I�ll simply say that for me, the highlights were Patti Smith doing �Because the Night,� Jackson Browne and Tom Morello doing �American Skin,� Elton John�s �Streets of Philadelphia,� Mavis Staples and Zac Brown doing �My City of Ruins,� and Emmylou Harris� cover of �My Hometown.� Oh, and Neil Young�s �Born in the USA.� Sorry. Deal with it.
The tough part about all the music, though, was that there was significant setup time in between each song. The event organizers mitigated this by showing clips of past MusiCares performances, but the effect was like watching one of those telethon �concerts� � song, long break, song, long break, song, long break � and so the musical energy never really gets any chance to develop and grow.
After Young played, it was time for Bruce to receive his chunk of glass and make a speech. I was standing next to the stage, and I could see Jon Stewart on the stage near the wings watching Bruce speak. It was almost as much fun to watch Jon (who described himself earlier as someone who, upon listening to Springsteen�s music, realized he wasn�t a loser, but rather a character in an epic poem about losers) as it was to listen to Bruce (who described himself as part of a brotherhood of magical fuckups).
With the speech over, it was time for The Boss to toss off the jacket, pick up the guitar, and invite people closer to the stage. Of course, we moved. While I didn�t wind up in the prime pit spot of being able to strum the guitar during the closing of �Born to Run,� I was leaning on the stage just off to Patti Scialfa�s side, so had a great view of everything.
For me, the most interesting moment of the Bruce set had nothing to do with Bruce. When he invited all the musicians out to the stage for �Glory Days� (Jon Stewart came to the front of the stage holding a saxophone), Patti Smith kept to the fringes of the crowd and stood by herself off to the side, right in front of me, and watched the others. One fan on our side yelled to her: �Yo, Patti � all the cool kids are hanging out on this side!� I snapped a few photos of her silhouetted against the lighting and watching the song; she knew it, and when I was done gave me a subtle smile before she moved back into the crowd.
Then it was over. Time to leave. Hit the bathroom and get our goodie bags � except they ran out of goodie bags and I didn�t get one. My sister did, though � the very last one, in fact � and she gave me the Springsteen CD that came with it. Nothing particularly special on the disc, other than that it was a premium item for this event. I�ll keep it sealed. Maybe I�ll frame it along with my laminated ticket and a few photos of the event.
So now, some 2,500 or so words later, let�s go back to Lewis Black�s �Anticipation� album:
�All the moments that lead up to the actual moment are truly the best moments,� he says. �Those are the moments that are filled with good times. Those are the moments in which you are able to think that it�s going to be perfect when the moment actually happens. But: The moment is reality, and reality always kinda sucks.�
Not always, Lewis. Not this time. This time, reality really was kinda perfect.
Which, as I look back on 35 years of fandom and concerts, is kinda how it�s usually been when Springsteen takes center stage.

I use the winter carvers on all 4 corners of my Mustang during the winter months in Colorado. Honestly the best tires I've had in snow and ice conditions. I have not had a day all winter where they have let me down. Regularly drive away from 4x4's on hills in ice conditions.

These tires were awesome when they were brand new, never got stuck anywhere. These tires wore out way too quickly and lost all their traction on snow and ice.

Was not impressed with this tire. Tire was very noisy and the car did not feel secure. Stopping and starting seemed difficult. This is a very noisy tire and after one season of driving these had to go.

Skip to comments.Sen. Tim Kaine delivers floor speech supporting immigration reform in Spanish
Posted on 06/11/2013 10:07:09 AM PDT by theruleshavechanged
I ask unanimous consent I be able to deliver a floor speech on immigration reform in Spanish.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonexaminer.com ...
I suggest we pay him in pesos.
VA ping
nobody had an ounce of testosterone to say no?
This is America. When will they make English our official language. When will they print every government voting form in English.
I'd love to have Gen Pershing up in the Gallary and armed while this asshat was giving his speech.
* I suggest we pay him in pesos. *
Good one!
Send him down to Mexico for a few decades....
Well since the Senate is hell bend on turning us into Mexico it seems very appropriate to speak Spanish on the Senate floor. Soon I will expect outrage if English is spoken.
It's outrageous for a senator to give a speech in a foreign language on the Senate floor.
I'll vote for you! lol
Tim Kaine puede empujar su discurso a su puto culo y proceder rápidamente a México.
When will someone give a floor speech in support of declassifying military documents, in Chinese?
"immigration reform"
Another example of the kind of misleading terms liberals constantly come up with. This is like having a rash of bank robberies and stating "we need finance reform".
"Global warming" ..b-but we set records for freezing temperatures last winter!..."OK, we meant 'climate change'"
"Abortion"...but abortion is murder.."Oh we meant 'planned parenthood' and abortion is not murder, you're just a participant in the 'war against women'."
Como se dice "NO" en Espanol?
It would be fine as long as he goes to Mexico to do it. And stays there.
And the best the Republicans here could find to run against him was George 'Macaca' Allen. When will adults once again beginning to lead the Republican Party?
Bump to that!
did they have the option of pressing 1 for english?
Why Spanish?
I suggest we check his bank accounts for recent large deposits.
He's a bigot ~
Its all about minting new democrat voters, and cementing a Democrat-run nation far, far into the future.
Amnesty is the final battle for America...and the fix is in.
Good-Bye, America.
Good-Bye, Constitution.
Patriots are the new terrorists...
Well since the Senate is hell bend on turning us into Mexico it seems very appropriate to speak Spanish on the Senate floor. Soon I will expect outrage if English is spoken.
Well in Mexico the Elite can lord over the citizens who are reduced to serfs...
Most of the current congress critters would love that sorta power...
Senator Tim Kaine
timkaine 1h
About to deliver remarks in Spanish on the Senate floor to call for passage of commonsense immigration reform. Watch live on CSPAN 2.
And we need to remove all waste containers from throughout the Capitol complex. Just throw your filth on the ground. And legalize graffiti too. Want to spray paint the doors of the Rayburn Building? Help yourself. These idiots like Kaine need to go to East Los Angeles and get a feel for what we can look forward to in our cities.
"Why Spanish?"
He did not want you to understand the part where he said "you unemployed Americans can go eat sh**."
Tim Kaine officially pissing on the Country.
Is he trying to help kill the bill?
Another brilliant, intellectual, "Progressive" genius trying to prove he's so much more enlightened and brilliant than the knuckle-dragging, racist, bible-thumping,
gun-loving, Christian morons out there. /s/
One would imagine there are lots of bellies being filled with the obnoxious, low-down, adolescent antics of these so-called Progressives. (How absolutely loathesome, hateful,
despicable and odious.)
So, he's admitting that "immigration reform" is only intended to benefit Spanish-speaking immigrants?
What about all the other nationalities waiting to get in here? Are they just chopped liver?
Tim Kaine was handpicked and groomed by the leftist democratic machine. I have always distrusted him. The Virginian voter should have stopped him long ago.
Oh, barf.....
Sorry, America... we tried to defeat this a**hole in November...
We tried... (((FACEPALM in abject embarrassment)))
we are spied on and the guy who tells us this is the target of attacks not the corrupt Govt.
We have now elected officials speaking in Spanish on the floor and now letting in millions of illegals who will be rewarded by breaking the law
Right now Megyn Kelly has some dopey Fed profiler on putting the guy down instead of looking at how obama is making an enemy list and spying on us all
Put them in your neighborhood and those of your Anglo supporters.
Then let's hear your Spanish, hypocrite
"Ay yi yi"
we have a one party system with half and half nots over power.
from spying to this to illegals, to spending etc it's all about them reassuring their power
Absolutely! Marco Rubio... oh, wait...
Just another stunt in the circus we call our government.
It's hard to beat voter fraud.
Incredible.. what next, Chinese?
anyone who doubts O and his henchmen want to provoke and incident.. nuff said.
No Chinese won't be next...
This is simply to further uniting Canada, US and Mexico as one in the Global push....makes the Mexican people feel all warm and fuzzy.
The US Senate just said "bese mi culo" to Americans with this Illegal Alien Amnesty nonsense
I meant Bese me culo
Hey....German is my 2d language not Espanol
That said, English is required to become a citizen.
Therefor KAINE's "Spanish" speech is an insult to those who spoke a different language, learned English and built this country, as opposed to the welfare system.

Norene Pearl Smith
Longtime Durango resident Norene Pearl Smith died Wednesday, Nov. 14, 2012, at her home. She was two days shy of her 80th birthday.
Mrs. Smith was born to Isaiah Zeke and Gladys Flora on Nov. 16, 1932, in Helena, Ohio. She was only six months old when her family moved to the Falls Creek area north of Durango. She grew up in the Durango area and attended school in Animas City before graduating from Durango High School in 1950.
She continued her education at the old Fort Lewis College Campus near Hesperus, the University of Colorado in Boulder and later at Colorado General Hospital in Denver. While she was studying to become a medical technician, she met her future husband, Richard Smith, in Pagosa Springs in 1954, after his sister introduced them.
The couple married in 1955 at the First United Methodist Church of Durango.
Mrs. Smith worked at Childrens Hospital in Denver and then for a clinic in Pagosa Springs. In 1964, the family moved back to Durango, and she worked for Mercy Hospital for 23 years. She also worked briefly for Hospice of Mercy in La Plata County and for private insurance companies.
Mrs. Smith enjoyed the arts and liked to paint. She liked to read and published a retrospective about her family, including her father, who was a well-known amateur archaeologist. She liked to work on puzzles, play card games and was extensively involved with the First United Methodist Church for many years.
Norene also liked to camp and hunt with her family in the splendor of southwestern Colorado, her family said. She was an all-around do-gooder.
Mrs. Smith was preceded in death by her son Terry Smith in 1976.
She is survived by her husband of 57 years, Richard L. Smith, of Durango; sons Carl Smith and Walter Smith, both of Durango, Ted Smith of Redmond, Wash., and Oscar Smith of Bullhead City, Nev.; six grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and extended family members.
Cremation will occur. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2012, at the First United Methodist Church, 2917 Aspen Drive. in Durango. A reception will take place after the service.

Getting Your New Pet Settled
Transition is part of every adoption. To help you and your new pet adjust, we've created a list of easy-to-follow recommendations. Once your pet is settled, everyone will feel right at home.
Kindness counts
Your new pet may have suffered a traumatic experience, and going from a strange new shelter to a strange new home may be overwhelming. Kindness, patience and understanding will help ease your pet into the family.
"I'm scared!" Like people, pets can feel nervous and afraid in new surroundings. If this occurs, place your pet in a small quiet room with food and water. With a cat, add a litter box. Keep small children away and give your pet plenty of time to adjust.
Expect mistakes
Even the best-trained pet can make a mistake in a new home. Again, patience is key. If you notice your new pet struggling to find a pet door or litter box, help him. As the saying goes, "This too shall pass."
Expect behavior problems
Every pet comes with a set of rules. They may not be your rules, but over time, your pet will learn what kind of behavior you expect and respond appropriately. Until then, give your pet plenty of love and praise. Remember, change takes time.
Things can get touchy
New pets may resist being held and picked up in the first few days. This is especially true with small children. When this occurs, step back and let your pet take the lead. Animals crave attention but too much can feel overwhelming.
How long will this take?
Adoption is a lifetime commitment so it may take a couple of weeks before everyone is feeling the love. Don't worry. Your pet's affectionate nature will soon come out.

Bicoid (Bcd) is a well studied morphogen involved in the patterning of the anterior-posterior (AP) axis of the Drosophila embryo. Zygotic downstream genes read out this gradient and their expression domains determine the basic body plan of the embryo along this axis. The positions of these domains are remarkably insensitive to fluctuations in the external environment [1, 2] and their relative proportions are maintained across embryos of different sizes. The latter feature is referred to as scaling and occurs within a single species [1, 3] and also across different species [3, 4, 5].
Recent experiments also show that the Bicoid gradient itself is rather precise and that its length scale correlates to some extent to the embryo size [6, 7]. These new findings suggest that the precision and scaling of Bcd target genes may, at least in part, be attributed to that of the morphogen gradient itself. Therefore, we investigate single morphogen models that aim at explaining the precision and scaling of Bcd target genes at the level of the morphogen gradient. However, it is likely that other mechanisms (e.g. Bcd interactions with the staufen gene [8], gap genes interactions [9], Bcd interactions with maternal Hunchback and the terminal system [10] or bistability [11]) also contribute to ensure precise domain localization and further increase robustness in AP patterning.
In our work, we measured precision in more than 150 staining images for the gap genes Krüppel (Kr), Giant (Gt) and Hunchback (Hb), as well as the pair-rule gene Even-skipped (Eve) in embryos with a single, double (wt) and quadruple dose of bcd. Our data indicated that the precision is maximal at mid-embryo as well as position-dependent rather than gene-dependent. This provided independent support for the conclusions drawn from direct measurements of Bcd [6, 7] that the morphogen gradient itself is the main contributor to the precision of the target genes. It motivated our subsequent analytical investigation of noise propagation during Bcd gradient formation within a single-morphogen modeling framework. Our analysis showed that fluctuations in the parameters affecting morphogen production, degradation, diffusion as well as nuclear trapping can give rise naturally to highest precision at mid-embryo, provided the Bcd gradient is decoded at pre-steady state. Finally, we considered a variety of models to investigate the scaling of the morphogen gradient. In order to single out the most likely scenario, we experimentally investigated scaling at the level of the target genes. We observed somewhat elevated scaling for expression domain boundaries in the anterior part of the embryo and almost perfect scaling beyond ~40%L (L is the embryo size). This effect appeared to be position-dependent rather than gene-dependent. Based on these observations, we argue that the formation of the Bcd gradient itself is a main contributor to robust patterning along the anterior-posterior axis and that pre-steady state decoding is an efficient means to increase robustness.
We also work on the formation of the Bicoid gradient from its mRNA gradient, as suggested by a recent publication [12]. We model the active quasi-random transport of bcd mRNA from the anterior pole (along a non-polar cortical microtubules network), forming a complex with the mRNA-binding protein Staufen, in a pure diffusive way. Establishment of the Bcd protein gradient arises by local translation from the non-localized and evolving mRNA gradient. We use a simple and general formalism for the modeling of morphogen gradient formation which allows to obtain explicit analytical solutions in the 1D case. We can also estimate diffusive parameters. The model is also being compared to static source models (without mRNA transport) involving delocalization of the source (step- and Gaussian source).
