ADAM10 has been shown to be an effective α-secretase in vitro and in vivo. This enzyme acts as a sheddase to cleave cell surface proteins involved in neuropathology, inflammatory response and tumor progression.The SensoLyte® 520 ADAM10 Activity Assay Kit is an optimized assay that can be used to detect the ADAM 10 activity. The unique FRET substrate contained in the kit was designed to reduce the cross reactivity with ADAM17 (also called tumor necrosis factor-α-converting enzyme, TACE). When active ADAM10 cleaves the FRET substrate, it results in an increase of 5-FAM fluorescence monitored at excitation/emission = 490/520 nm. The long wavelength fluorescence of 5-FAM is also less interfered by the autofluorescence of components in biological samples and test compounds. This assay can detect as low as 0.25 ng/mL active ADAM10.
The kit contains: 5-FAM/QXL® 520 ADAM10 substrate, Ex/Em=490/520 nm upon cleavage Assay buffer Recombinant human ADAM10 Inhibitor Fluorescence reference standard for calibration A detailed protocolKit size: 100 assays (96-well plate).

text: My wife's school is a Magnet school (meaning specialized after school programs to draw minorities and lower-economic students) and a California Distinguished School (meaning, in a nutshell, academically strong and meeting state standards). Because her school exposes kids to new things that they are otherwise unable to experience, they flourish! My wife's class has historically gone to the local college's planetarium and then down to the LA Science Museum and the LA Museum of Natural History. Trips like this kick-start the students to excel in their studies. It's been proven time and time again at her school. And I'm talking poor kids, migrant kids, rich kids. Given the opportunity, it equals the field....it doesn't matter what the kid's background may be. I've worked with my wife's kids in the past (on science projects). I know the neighborhoods they live in because in my law enforcement duties, I'm there--much too often. These are bright kids! My complaint is the state is taking that opportunity away. In no way am I insulting anyone's intelligence, MSP, quite the contrary! I'm defending these kid's opportunity to learn and be motivated by experiencing something more than just the four walls of the classroom.

5.70: Ohm's Law
Look at the water spraying out of this garden hose. You have to be careful using water around power tools and electric outlets because water can conduct an electric current. But in some ways, water flowing through a hose is like electric current flowing through a wire.
Introducing Ohm's Law
For electric current to flow through a wire, there must be a source of voltage. Voltage is a difference in electric potential energy. As you might have guessed, greater voltage results in more current. As electric current flows through matter, particles of matter resist the moving charges. This is called resistance, and greater resistance results in less current. These relationships between electric current, voltage, and resistance were first demonstrated in the early 1800s by a German scientist named Georg Ohm, so they are referred to as Ohm's law. Ohm's law can be represented by the following equation.
- Current(amps) = \begin{align*}\mathrm{\frac{Voltage(volts)}{Resistance(ohms)}}\end{align*}
Understanding Ohm's Law
Ohm's law may be easier to understand with an analogy. Current flowing through a wire is like water flowing through a hose. Increasing voltage with a higher-volt battery increases the current. This is like opening the tap wider so more water flows through the hose. Increasing resistance reduces the current. This is like stepping on the hose so less water can flow through it. If you still aren't sure about the relationships among current, voltage, and resistance, watch the video at this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KvVTh3ak5dQ
Using Ohm's Law to Calculate Current
You can use the equation for current (above) to calculate the amount of current flowing through a circuit when the voltage and resistance are known. Consider an electric wire that is connected to a 12-volt battery. If the wire has a resistance of 2 ohms, how much current is flowing through the wire?
- Current = \begin{align*}\mathrm{\frac{12\;volts}{2\;ohms}}\end{align*} = 6 amps
Q: If a 120-volt voltage source is connected to a wire with 10 ohms of resistance, how much current is flowing through the wire?
A: Substitute these values into the equation for current:
- Current = \begin{align*}\mathrm{\frac{120\;volts}{20\;ohms}}\end{align*} = 12 amps
- According to Ohm's law, greater voltage results in more current and greater resistance results in less current.
- Ohm's law can be represented by the equation:'
- This equation can be used to calculate current when voltage and resistance are known.
- Ohm's law: Law stating that current increases as voltage increases or resistance decreases.
Review Ohm's law and how to calculate current at the following URL. Then try to solve the two problems at the bottom of the Web page. Be sure to check your answers against the correct solutions. http://www.grc.nasa.gov/WWW/k-12/Sample_Projects/Ohms_Law/ohmslaw.html
- State Ohm's law.
- An electric appliance is connected by wires to a 240-volt source of voltage. If the combined resistance of the appliance and wires is 12 ohms, how much current is flowing through the circuit?

Kenya: Ethnic clashes in the run up to elections
Houses set ablaze, women and children killed, a student shot dead on his way to school, thousands fleeing with nothing more than the shirts on their backs - these were the scenes in Kenya's Tana Delta region in recent weeks as ethnic clashes broke out again. Humanitarian agencies are responding to the needs of displaced people, who are reluctant to return home.
Concerned about the deteriorating situation and amid fears that the violence could affect elections in March, Humanitarian Coordinator Modibo I. Toure has urged Kenyans "to exercise their democratic rights in a peaceful manner with respect for the rights and dignity of all concerned."
So far, more than 180 people have been killed and over 34,000 have fled from their homes since clashes between the Pokomo and Orma communities began in August 2012. Some 120 deaths were reported at that time; the Government of Kenya increased security in the region and imposed a curfew in response. Renewed fighting was reported on 21 December in the predominantly Orma village of Kipao, in which 49 people including 13 children and six women were killed. More recently in January, at least 18 more were killed and scores of others were injured in attacks on Nduruv and Kibusu villages.
People from both the Orma and the Pokomo communities have fled from their homes to neighbouring towns and villages as a result of the violence. An estimated 1,250 people left the area after the violence in December, in addition to around 33,000 who have been displaced since August.
"It is a tragic humanitarian situation and very worrying as, despite all the security and methods of conflict mitigation deployed by the authorities, such massacres continue to be repeated," said Patrick Lavand'homme, Head of Kenya Coordination at OCHA. "The humanitarian community is shaping its response to and getting prepared for the long-run as the local communities are not feeling secure enough to return and to reconcile with their neighbours," he added.
Earlier in January, a humanitarian assessment mission visited five sites where people have sought shelter.
The mission found that the majority of the displaced people were living with host communities where they felt safer compared to being in camps. However, there are growing concerns that host communities, whose resources have been stretched, will not be able to support the displaced families over an extended period of time.
"More than eight families are now living in my small house," said Yusuf, an elder from the Orma community. "We are congested but what can we do? We cannot let them go back to die. We will help them and share whatever little we have."
Humanitarian organizations such as the Kenya Red Cross, Médécins Sans Frontières and Action Aid have been helping the displaced and host families. They have provided food, water, shelter, healthcare and livelihood support to hundreds of people, especially targeting vulnerable groups like pregnant women, children and the elderly.

Subject: ChemistryLevel: SecondaryAge Group: 11 - 14Order Number: 15001
Science Worksheets for Lower Ability 11 to 14 year olds is a new series of resources for Science which is aimed at lower ability pupils in years 7 and 8. It can be used alongside the Spotlight Science scheme or as a stand alone resource for less able pupils. The material is highly flexible and covers all KS3 concepts using simple sentence structures but omitting none of the key Science concepts. The topics have been compiled into separate photocopiable write-in booklets, with each double page spread covering one concept. These can be copied full size as A3 worksheets or reduced to A4 size, as appropriate.
The booklets enable pupils who may have reading and writing difficulties to enjoy science and make real progress by reducing the amount of written work required. Key ideas are clearly printed in the books and illustrated where appropriate with 3-D drawings showing how to use the apparatus. Each book has a summary check-list at the back listing what pupils should understand. The books have not been designed to be easy lessons, for they depend on the teacher talking around each sheet.
The format of the booklets encourages discussion and questions from pupils, to deepen their understanding of the topics. The booklets provide a structured framework, while allowing teachers to include their own ideas. Space for teachers to incorporate their own extension work is included. Teaching colleagues recommend these resources where absenteeism may be a problem because the structure of the work and the key concepts are laid out for the pupils when they return.

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA — A leak in a fuel oil return line caused the engine-room fire that disabled a Carnival cruise ship at sea, leaving 4,200 people without power or working toilets for five days, a Coast Guard official said Monday.
Cmdr. Teresa Hatfield addressed the finding in a conference call with reporters and estimated that the investigation of the disabled ship, the Carnival Triumph, would take six months.
Hatfield said the Bahamas —where the ship is registered, or flagged — is leading the investigation, with the Coast Guard and National Transportation Safety Board representing U.S. interests in the probe. The vessel was in international waters at the time of the incident.
She said investigators have been with the ship since it arrived Thursday in Mobile. Since then, she said, interviews have been conducted with passengers and crew and forensic analysis has been performed on the ship.
She said the crew responded appropriately to the fire. "They did a very good job," she said.

3.1: DNA, the Genetic Material
Where's the instructions?
How do your cells know what to do? Just like builders have blueprints to tell them how to build a house, your cells also have instructions. Your cells' instructions are molecules of DNA.
What is DNA?
DNA is the material that makes up our chromosomes and stores our genetic information. When you build a house, you need a blueprint, a set of instructions that tells you how to build. The DNA is like the blueprint for living organisms. The genetic information is a set of instructions that tell your cells what to do.
DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid. As you may recall, nucleic acids are a type of macromolecule that store information. The deoxyribo part of the name refers to the name of the sugar that is contained in DNA, deoxyribose. DNA may provide the instructions to make up all living things, but it is actually a very simple molecule. DNA is made of a very long chain of nucleotides. In fact, in you the smallest DNA molecule has well over 20 million nucleotides.
Nucleotides are composed of three main parts:
- a phosphate group
- a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose in DNA)
- a nitrogen-containing base
The only difference between each nucleotide is the identity of the base. There are only four possible bases that make up each DNA nucleotide: adenine (A), guanine (G), thymine (T), and cytosine (C).
The Genetic Code
The various sequences of the four nucleotide bases make up the genetic code of your cells. It may seem strange that there are only four letters in the "alphabet" of DNA. But since your chromosomes contain millions of nucleotides, there are many, many different combinations possible with those four letters.
But how do all these pieces fit together? James Watson and Francis Crick won the Nobel Prize in 1962 for piecing together the structure of DNA. Together with the work of Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins, they determined that DNA is made of two strands of nucleotides formed into a double helix, or a two-stranded spiral, with the sugar and phosphate groups on the outside, and the paired bases connecting the two strands on the inside of the helix (Figure below).
DNA's three-dimensional structure is a double helix. The hydrogen bonds between the bases at the center of the helix hold the helix together.
The bases in DNA do not pair randomly. When Erwin Chargaff looked closely at the bases in DNA, he noticed that the percentage of adenine (A) in the DNA always equaled the percentage of thymine (T), and the percentage of guanine (G) always equaled the percentage of cytosine (C). Watson and Crick's model explained this result by suggesting that A always pairs with T, and G always pairs with C in the DNA helix. Therefore A and T, and G and C, are "complementary bases," or bases that always pair together, known as a base-pair. The base-pairing rules state that A will always bind to T, and G will always bind to C (see Figure below). For example, if one DNA strand reads ATGCCAGT, the other strand will be made up of the complementary bases: TACGGTCA.
The chemical structure of DNA includes a chain of nucleotides consisting of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base. Notice how the sugar and phosphate form the backbone of DNA (strands highlighted in pink), with the hydrogen bonds between the bases joining the two strands.
- base-pair: Bases in DNA that complement each other and are linked by hydrogen bonds.
- chromosome: DNA wound around proteins; the chromosome forms during prophase of mitosis and meiosis (prophase I).
- DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid): A nucleic acid that is the genetic material of all organisms.
- double helix: The shape of DNA; a double spiral, similar to a spiral staircase.
- nucleic acid: Class of organic compound; nucleic acid includes DNA and RNA.
- nucleotide: The units that make up DNA; the nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base.
- DNA stores the genetic information of the cell in the sequence of its 4 bases: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
- DNA is made of a long chain of nucleotides consisting of a 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and nitrogen-containing base.

|Running by the Birth of the Oil Boom
|Nick and I on the second loop
|Trying to make up ground
Halfway through the third loop, I was still maintaining my place. However it was starting to get dark, Nick had now picked up a pacer, and I was still having energy issues. At this point I was eating anything I could at the aid stations just to try to quell my hunger. I was pretty sure there was no way I could catch Nick, but was determined to keep pressing. As darkness fell it became difficult to negotiate the slick down hills, especially since 1) I forgot to change the batteries in my headlamp so it was quite dim, and 2) my kids had taken my LED handheld as a play toy. I was still running and running well for being so far into a 100, but I just felt that I should have been going faster. At the end of the third loop, Nick had built a lead of about an hour on me. It was just time to finish.

International five-eighth Quade Cooper has been fined AU$10,000 (NZ$12,622) by the Australian Rugby Union for a comment he made on Twitter criticising a New Zealand developer's rugby video game.
When asked by a fan if he preferred FIFA 12 or Rugby Challenge, Cooper replied: "Rugby Challenge is the sh*ttest game."
The game is marketed in Australia as an ARU-licensed product called Wallabies Rugby Challenge. Its New Zealand cousin on the PlayStation Vita bears the endorsement of All Black legend Jonah Lomu.
"Perceptions of quality are subjective," said Mario Wynands, Managing Director of Wellington-based Sidhe.
"Mr Cooper, like any gamer, is entitled to his opinion on our games and we don't begrudge him that," he said.
"Put in context, he was obviously lashing out at all and sundry at the time, presumably frustrated by his recent on field performances and current injured status, from which we wish him a speedy recovery.
"That being said, we'll be sure to take special care of his player stats if we develop a Rugby Challenge sequel."
The three-man ARU panel also fined Cooper for other comments on social media and in the mainstream media. A third of the overall fine of AU$60,000 (NZ$75,731) and a three-match suspension he also received have been suspended on the proviso that Cooper behaves for the next two years.
The ban potentially covers Super Rugby and Test matches.
Cooper was summoned to appear after a number of criticisms which included calling the Wallabies set-up a "toxic" environment.
He addressed the large media contingent after the hearing, but didn't take any questions.
"It was a very fair hearing and I was very happy with the outcome," Cooper said.

Lorraine Newman
MADISON - Lorraine Newman, age 82, died Tuesday, Jan. 15, 2013 at the Capitol Lakes Retirement Center.
She was born Jan. 31, 1930, in Chicago, the daughter of Chaim and Sarah (Fine) Greenband.
As a child, Lorraine was an actress in Chicago's Yiddish Theater. English was the second language she learned, but words became her specialty. She was a brilliant Scrabble player and avid crossword puzzle player, and for many decades, she carried on correspondences with family members and friends across the globe, including a pen pal in Japan whom she had never met.
Living with her family in the back storerooms of the small, neighborhood stores her parents ran on Chicago's West side, Lorraine was valedictorian of her Roosevelt High School graduation class. Although her father questioned a girl's need to attend college, she pursued her studies and received a bachelor's degree from Roosevelt University, and later, a master's degree from Northeastern Illinois University, both in Chicago.
Lorraine was a teacher in the Chicago public school system for about 30 years, mainly at Joyce Kilmer elementary school and at Philip Rogers elementary, where she taught special education students, forging friendships with the families of many of the children in her classes.
She was known for warmth and smile, forming longtime friendships with people around the country and maintaining treasured family relationships around the world, including England, Israel, and most of all, with her large family in Canada.
Lorraine was married to Jules Newman on April 11, 1956, and they lived in Rogers Park for nearly four decades where they raised their children, Judy and Joel, and Lorraine was active in organizations such as ORT and Hadassah. When Lorraine and Jules were both retired, in 1995, they moved to Scottsdale, Ariz. and lived there for 10 years before moving to the Madison area.
Preceded in death by her parents and her son-in-law, George Coburn, Lorraine is survived by her husband, Jules, and children, Judy Coburn and Joel, daughter-in-law, Jennifer, and grandchildren, Danny, Sara and Liora, as well as sister-in-law, Sally Fohrman, niece. Elizabeth Simon, and grand-nephews, Edward and Ben.
Funeral services will be held Thursday, January 17, 2013, at 10 a.m. at TEMPLE BETH EL, 2702 Arbor Drive, Madison, WI 53711. Rabbi Jonathan Biatch will be presiding. Burial will follow at Beit Olamin Jewish Cemetery at Sunset Memory Gardens in Madison.
Memorials may be made to the Alzheimer's & Dementia Alliance of Wisconsin, Jewish Social Services of Madison, or Hadassah. The family wishes to thank the staff of Jewish Social Services and of Capitol Lakes, as well as Dr. Jeremy Smith.

Port Authority names Ellen McLean as new CEOJanuary 24, 2014 11:48 PM
For the first time in at least a decade, Port Authority is preparing for comprehensive transit service improvements rather than cuts.
Ellen McLean, who was given a three-year contract on Friday to serve as authority CEO, said her first mission will be evaluating the increased revenue that will be generated by the state's new transportation funding bill and determining how best to use it.
"Our first priority is to enhance existing ridership. We know that from the cuts that buses are overcrowded," she said after a unanimous board vote that upgraded her status from interim CEO. "We've been cutting for so long that we know our riders are stuffed in buses at times. How do you improve that?"
The authority expects to learn over the next few weeks how much it will gain from Act 89, the $2.3 billion transportation spending law approved by the Legislature and Gov. Tom Corbett in November.
"It's too early to say" exactly how much the agency will get, but the bill "meets our expectations. It's a very robust bill," she said.
The new revenue won't start coming in until July, and the earliest opportunity to add new routes will be in September, but Ms. McLean said "we're not committing to anything at this point in terms of new routes."
More likely in the shorter term are adjustments, such as additional trips on existing routes, to relieve overcrowding, she said. She also wants to pursue development of additional park-n-ride facilities. Some of the new money will address deferred maintenance needs.
Ms. McLean, 60, of Shadyside, succeeded former CEO Steve Bland, who was fired Feb. 1. Initially, she said she was not interested in being the permanent replacement, and the board did a nationwide search before concluding that Ms. McLean was the superior candidate for the job.
"After a year of doing it, it's really an exciting time, a historic time," she said of her change of mind. "It is a much brighter future, the first time in a decade that we have the ability to think strategically about service."
"Ellen's financial expertise and ability to work collaboratively toward solutions has set her apart," said Robert Hurley, authority board chairman. He said she played a key role in lobbying for adequate transit funding in the state legislation.
"We're pretty excited about it," said Chris Sandvig, regional policy director for the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group. "She has the best interests of neighborhoods at heart."
Steve Palonis, president and business agent for Local 85, Amalgamated Transit Union, said the union, representing operators, mechanics and first-level supervisors, has developed a good working relationship with Ms. McLean. She "brings stability and positive direction" to the agency, he said.
Before being named interim CEO, she had served as chief financial officer for the authority since October 2010.
Ms. McLean was chief financial officer for the city of Pittsburgh from 1999 to 2005 and then managing director of infrastructure initiatives at the Urban Land Institute in Washington, D.C., before joining Port Authority.
She holds a master's degree in public management from Carnegie Mellon University and bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees in English from Duquesne University. Her salary will be $215,000. The contract includes options for two additional years.
In other action on Friday, the board reappointed Mr. Hurley as chairman and Tom Donatelli as vice chairman. Positions on the 11-member board are unsalaried.

City of hawthorne TRU: Lots and lots of Shadow troopers, Utapaus, Coverts, Neyos galore. I stashed a set of 2 shadows, a covert, and a utapau. PM for location.

No new figures at Burbank TRU today, big surprise- both Wormser and D&C were working. I did spot the new STAP battle pack and a large-wing white Tie Fighter. Alas, I have spent too much lately, so I left them on the shelf. They also had the re-packed Obi and Ani jedi starfighters, and a Leia Mighty Mugg.
Finally scored a white large wing TIE Fighter at TRU today (thanks to Crunchy for the tip). Saw the two new Battle Packs (STAP and Hoth Patrol) but passed on them.

I was working on my own function that would convert a string to a number, be it int, float, double or any of those built in data types.
Anyway writing the function is very easy and I do have it working properly. My Question though is more a long the lines of dealing with when the string is not a number. Currently I just build a stringstream on the string entered. I then check to see if I can extract the data in the string stream into the number. If not I just set it to 0 and return the number. This works and if I enter a non number it returns 0. Though is their a better way of doing this?
I ask this because since 0 could easily be a valid number I wouldn't ever know if it was a valid 0 or if returned 0 based on the fact that it was an error. How would y'all do this? Just have it return 0?
I did also think about passing in the number with the string by reference and returning a boolean value if it could do the conversion.
Thanks if someone could explain the "best" or "correct" way of doing this and checking the conversion.

The Politics of Pronouns
News coverage of murders unsettling for some in the transgender community
Eric Williams ericwphoto.com
"Another Cross-Dresser Found Dead"
"Murdered Man Dressed as a Woman"
"Cross-Dresser Murdered in Albuquerque"
These headlines don't sit well with Janice Devereaux, facilitator of Transgender New Mexico. The first comes from the Albuquerque Journal. The second, from KOB Eyewitness News 4's website. The third, from KRQE News 13.
Devereaux was on her way to pick up her mom in early July when her cell phone rang. It was a reporter. Within a month of each other, two bodies were found in the middle of streets or alleys in the neighborhood east of Presbyterian Hospital. In 2005, the first victim was found in the area. All three were Native American and had been beaten to death, according to police. Two are believed to have been sex workers.
"Regardless of what these people were doing when they were killed, they still had the right to live."
Janice Devereaux of Transgender New Mexico
Devereaux hadn't known about the most recent killings until news hounds from the local daily and all of Albuquerque's news stations began calling. Her position with the transgender support group made her an impromptu spokesperson. She went over appropriate terminology with the reporters. A cross-dresser, she explained, is "typically a heterosexual male who is married, who dresses in female clothing for some type of sexual gratification." Transgender, on the other hand, is a way of life.
Teri Benally, the third victim, had lived for years as a woman, Devereaux says. But the wrong pronoun—he—dominated the coverage of her death. "They're not here to tell us how they would like to be referred to," she says. "More than likely, they would have liked to have been referred to as female."
Devereaux talked with the Alibi about the killings, the coverage and the often ignored transgender community in Albuquerque.
How do you think the headlines should have read?
They should have said the word "victim" in there somehow, because regardless of what these people were doing when they were killed, they still had the right to live. And referring to them as victims, I think, would have been more appropriate.
How did you feel about the TV coverage?
I was not all that thrilled with Channel 13's story. It went along the same lines as the Journal. I was really happy with [KOAT] Channel 7's coverage. Even when I talked to the reporters, they had gone out of their way to find out how these people were to be referred to. They went out of their way to make sure they got different things right. There seemed to be more of a human aspect to the story.
Do you think of "cross-
There are people who identify as cross-dressers. The people that do, it's more a type of sexual paraphilia. "Transgender" is the umbrella term for everybody else. There are some people who are offended by it [cross-dresser]. There are other people who say, Yeah, that's how I get my rocks off.
Aside from the news of the deaths, what do you think the coverage imparted generally about transgender people?
I think it may have in a lot of ways reaffirmed people's beliefs who don't really know anything about us. It perpetuates this myth that we're all a bunch of drug addicts and prostitutes, which I'm not. A lot of people that I know are not. That seems to be a popular preconception. I think these stories try to reaffirm people's beliefs.
When was the last time a transgender person was in local media—and identified as such—who wasn't connected to a crime?
Not ever that I know of. I've lived here 25 years, and I've never seen anything like that.
Why do you think this story was told this way?
For the most part, I think a lot of media, they write these stories just to sell papers or get people to look at broadcasts. It's like, Oh, here's another one of those that was doing this, and look what happened.
How can you counteract that?
Just like with any other stereotype, it's important for people to know us and for them to know that we're just like everybody else. We work and pay our bills and, for the most part, just want to be normal, productive members of society.
Do you think it is a more dangerous world for transgender people?
I think it's less dangerous than it was 15 years ago. There's still a lot of work to do. The more people come out, the more visible we are, the less unique or bizarre for people it will be.
Is it strange to find yourself a spokesperson in this situation?
A little bit. It's not something that I had really expected to happen. But I was never in the closet about myself, anyway.
"How We Identify People"
Jordon Johnson, interim executive director of Equality New Mexico, says his organization wants to inform the media and the general population about transgender issues. "It's an unfortunate circumstance," he says of the murders and their mishandling in the news. "But what can happen educationally to make sure these issues don't come up again?"
Stories about the lives of transgender people in Albuquerque would go a long way, he suggests. "Take someone like myself who identifies as transgender, who is a doctoral student at UNM," he says. "I have this life. You walk around people, and people don't know." And so, Johnson says, they don't know about the struggles some face in accessing health care, in dealing with substance abuse problems through unfriendly programs, in navigating social services when a name and a gender pronoun have changed.
Sensitivity training for journalists, health care providers and the Albuquerque Police Department is long overdue, says Alma Rosa, an EQNM volunteer. "I look at the West Mesa women, and I look at our transgender women that were murdered, and they're both being dehumanized for sex work," she says. "That's the power of media, how we identify people. It's what ends up allowing society to dismiss them or to actually be compassionate and have a personal connection. That was my daughter. That was my cousin. That was my sister. That was my neighbor."
Transgender New Mexico has provided peer support to transgender people and their families and friends since 1996. Meetings are held every Friday from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at First Congregational Church UCC (2801 Lomas NE). Go to transgendernm.org for more.

Notorious B.I.G. Family Attorney Criticizes LAPD After Autopsy Report
An attorney for the family of the Notorious B.I.G. said Friday it's ridiculous that Los Angeles police have not arrested anyone for the rapper's 1997 killing, which has returned to the spotlight after coroner's officials released a long-sealed autopsy report.
The report revealed that injuries cause by a single bullet killed the rapper, whose real name was Christopher Wallace, during a drive-by shooting in March 1997. Wallace was hit by four bullets after leaving a music industry event, but one that hit his heart, left lung and colon caused his death, the 23-page report states.
Perry Sanders Jr. said he was not given any notice that the report would be released, and he criticized police for not closing one of Los Angeles' highest-profile unsolved murders, especially since he had been told that police had identified those responsible.
"I've been advised by the homicide detective that was in charge of the investigation and is no longer with the department that the crime has been solved for several years now," Sanders told The Associated Press. "This was confirmed by at least one other person who is currently on the force, and it is ridiculous that an arrest has not been made for a crime that's allegedly been solved for several years."
Both Los Angeles police and the FBI investigated Wallace's killing, which came just months after another rap superstar, Tupac Shakur, was gunned down in Las Vegas. The FBI looked into whether any Los Angeles police officers were involved in Wallace's shooting.
The deaths of Wallace and Shakur have been the subject of rampant speculation about the motives. The one-time friends became rivals and instigators in an East Coast-West Coast rap rivalry during the mid-1990s.
A 2011 book by former Los Angeles police detective Greg Kading claimed both murders had been solved, although no arrests have been made and federal prosecutors in 2005 declined to file charges after a lengthy, bi-coastal investigation. Wallace is from the New York City borough of Brooklyn.
Police spokesman Richard French declined to comment, saying Wallace's killing remained an open investigation.
The coroner's report had been sealed for more than 15 years until police lifted a hold on it last week, Chief Coroner Investigator Craig Harvey said. The report details the trajectory of each of the shots that hit the rapper and states there were no signs of alcohol or drugs in his system when he died.
Sanders, who dropped a federal civil lawsuit against the city in 2010 in order to give investigators an opportunity to investigate further, said solving the case was more important than any lawsuit.
"In no way shape or form is this about civil litigation," he said. "This is about the criminal justice system and it functioning properly."
The lawsuit Sanders filed on behalf of Wallace's family and widow Faith Evans ended in a mistrial in 2005 after attorneys discovered the city withheld a trove of LAPD documents.
The civil case could be refiled, although that has not yet occurred.
In March 2011, the FBI electronically released files on its investigation, which were heavily redacted but shed new light on the efforts that investigators took to try to find those responsible for the rapper's death. Agents conducted surveillance and interviews in Los Angeles, San Diego and New York, the files showed.
The FBI referred all questions on the case to Los Angeles police.

Citizens of 35 countries in Europe and the Far East may visit the U.S. for up to 90 days without a visa if the attendee has a passport with a computer-readable bar code under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). Details can be found at the U.S. Department of State web site at http://travel.state.gov/visa/temp/without/without_1990.html or contact your local American consulate. Attendees from Canada and Mexico are reminded to bring a valid passport to cross into the United States.
International visitors to the U.S. under the Visa Waiver Program are now required to apply for travel authorization on-line. To apply visit the Electronic System for Travel Authorization web site at http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/travel/id_visa/esta/.
If you do not already have current ESTA authorization, we recommend that you apply as soon as you know you will be traveling to the United States under the VWP.
Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) is an automated system used to determine the eligibility of visitors to travel to the United States under the Visa Waiver Program (VWP). ESTA approval authorizes a traveler to board a carrier for travel to the United States under the VWP.
ESTA is not a visa. It does not meet the legal requirements to serve in lieu of a U.S. visa when a visa is required. Travelers that possess a valid U.S. visa may travel to the United States on that visa for the purpose it was issued. Travelers traveling on valid visas are not required to apply for an ESTA. In the same way that a valid visa does not guarantee admission to the United States, an approved ESTA is not a guarantee of admission to the United States.
ESTA became mandatory January 12, 2009. VWP applicants are required to complete a green Form I-94W and a white Customs declaration upon arrival in the U.S. whether or not they have an ESTA authorization.
Approved ESTA applications are valid for a period of two years, and multiple trips to the United States without the traveler having to re-apply for another ESTA. The ESTA travel information may be updated before each trip to the U.S., but it is not required. When traveling to the U.S. with the approved ESTA, you may only stay for up to 90 days at a time - and there should be a reasonable amount of time between visits so that the CBP Officer does not think you are trying to live here. There is no set requirement for how long you must wait between visits.
Travelers whose ESTA applications are approved, but whose passports will expire in less than two years, will receive an ESTA valid until the passport's expiration date.
New ESTA authorization is required if:
DHS recommends that you apply for ESTA authorization as soon as you know you will be traveling to the United States under the VWP.

Performance Preview
Bringing the Heat
UNM fest lights up the stage with two weeks of performances
By Christie Chisholm
Now in its 12th year, the festival springs from the University of New Mexico's Dramatic Writing Program. Every outing, master of fine arts students in the program collaborate with Associate Director of Theatre and Dance and Producing Artistic Director Elaine Avila to select their most promising scripts for development and produce them for the festival. With most plays still only in directed reading form, audiences can experience the authors' visions and then discuss each work with the playwrights after the shows. Those post-performance conversations can have significant sway over the direction of the plays, says Avila, adding that "part of the way audiences respond just physically and emotionally can be hugely helpful."
While themes aren't outlined for the festivals, Avila says every year she looks for emerging connections between students' work. This year, the thread she's found is in how the plays relate to New Mexico.
The only fully staged production this year is Señora de la Pinta by Law Chavez. Partly inspired by Oedipus the King, Señora focuses on a Chicano ex-con who seeks revenge after a young man is presumed to have been killed in the 1980 New Mexico State Prison riot. Acting as guest director on Señora is Daniel Banks, who sits on the faculty of the M.A. in Applied Theatre at City University of New York and has directed shows around the world, including at venues such as the Uganda National Theatre, the Belarusian National Drama Theatre and the Ovalhouse in London.
Christina Hjelm's Casualties of Dreams and Sand tells the story of a woman who may lose her home at the hands of the mortgage crisis as her husband fights in Iraq. Hjelm has already received the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival's Latino Playwriting Award for Casualties.
In Half Empty, by Zee Eskeets, a girl named Ally fights a skeleton named Belvedere in an otherworldly dimension.
When a Che Guevara portrait comes to life in The House That Che Built by Barney Lopez, Manny and Cynthia decide to forge a revolution by occupying (aka squatting in) foreclosed homes.
Words Afire! also includes a book launch and readings from Avila's Jane Austen, Action Figure and Other Plays and Say Word! Voices from Hip Hop Theater, edited with an introduction by Daniel Banks.
What most excites Avila about the new works presented is the communal voice they embody. "They're written by UNM graduate students, so they're about things that students at UNM care about right now," she says. Often, she adds, theaters choose to produce plays that are "100 years old or older." And while there's value to be gleaned from the past, as well as other places like New York and London, she says it's precious to see a collection of work that "speaks to our community right now."

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
STARKVILLE – Dan Mullen values in-state recruits, but he's more than willing to reach beyond Mississippi's borders to bulk up his roster.
Mississippi State added 17 players to its 2013 football class on national signing day, bringing its total to 21; four players enrolled at MSU in January. Of the 21, 13 come from outside the state.
The biggest catch was a Mississippi kid, Houston defensive end Chris Jones, a consensus five-star prospect who 247Sports.com ranks as the No. 2 recruit in the country. The Daily Journal defensive player of the year committed to MSU in June but had been considering Ole Miss the last couple of weeks.
Mullen said he had no worries about Jones flipping.
"All along he said, 'Hey, coach, I'm coming to be a Bulldog.' And I trusted him from Day 1, and he never wavered on that with me," Mullen said.
Among the other in-state signees were Itawamba AHS running back Ashton Shumpert, Columbus offensive lineman Jake Thomas and Starkville cornerback Gabe Myles.
Overall, Mullen said he was pleased with MSU's in-state haul.
"I think all the other schools in the state are making a much more concerted effort to recruit the state as well," he said. "I think that's fantastic. It shows, we've had success doing it, and so I guess imitation's a great form of flattery to come and say, hey, let's try to get more kids from the state of Mississippi.
"But I also think the success that we've had over the last couple of years has certainly helped give us a lot better name recognition throughout really the Southeast."
One of MSU's biggest signees is Fred Ross, a high school receiver out of Tyler, Texas. He was an Oklahoma State commit up until Tuesday night, when he switched to the Bulldogs.
Ross is a 6-foot-2, 185-pounder who was named a Parade All-American after last season.
"When he took the official visit out here and his family came here, he felt how much he fit in with the guys here, I think he knew this was the place for him," Mullen said. "There was a lot of celebrating for us when he told us he was coming."
Both quarterbacks in this class are from outside the state. Cord Sandberg hails from Bradenton, Fla., while Damian Williams is from Metairie, La. Both are dual-threat QBs who should fit well into Mullen's spread offense.
Two MSU commits who did not sign were defensive ends Ulric Jones and Trent Simpson, both from Oxford, Ala. Jones is expected to grayshirt – he'd be added as a scholarship player next January – while Jones appears to be headed the junior college route.

Someday your life will flash before your eyes. It's your responsibility to make sure it's worth watching!
You do have to wonder sometimes about posters with no location & no public profile. Still, their right to privacy is their right and as long as they're not violating the terms of the forum agreement, I'll read their POV.
If someone's that insecure in their beliefs/opinions as to make up an "alias" to support their own POV,
I'd be a LOT more worried if say, dnf777/newlab were the same person and arguing with each other!

NO, I doubt it. Although I can't figure out Newlab. One minute that person is a left wing nut, the next minute they are semi-rational.
Newlab still has not posted a pup pic on any forum which is odd.
Agree or disagree with someone on the forum, we generally know their dog thru a pic or 2 and at the very least feel a certain bond.

Gonna start making those accusations now, are we?
I'll tell you flat out, all the sh!t I take here, I don't NEED or WANT an alias you jerk.
I may get in trouble for calling you a jerk, but if you're gonna start launching that kind of crap, you better be able to back it up.
All the crap I take and dish out here, you think I need to hide behind an alias?
This is getting copied to Chris. He can figure out if there's an alias, and let's settle this once and for all. And when you shown to be a big fat liar, I will demand an apology from you for making such a serious accusation. Otherwise, YOU just SHOT YOUR credibility right in the A$$! As far as I'm concerned, its already there, but this cements it.
Chris, can you help dispel this BS accusation please?

I don't run run to the admin, but this type of serious accusation deserves his attention. I will tell you flat out that my post #6 was sent via PM to Chris for his review.
I take his rules very seriously, and as a result, take several of you much LESS than seriously. But this is crossing a line. You need to be able to back such an accusation up, or stop spreading innuendo and rumor.
God Bless PFC Jamie Harkness. The US Army's newest PFC, but still our neighbor's little girl!
I don't mind your childish goadings. As you can tell from the last several times you've posted, its like water off a ducks back.
But when you and marvin fail to goad me into your sophomoric antics, must you then resort to false and very serious accusations?? That is stepping over the line, and I hope you are decent enough to call a stop to that unethical behavior.
No ticking, just a plea to your sense of decency and ethics to do the right thing.
And no, I"m not the hall monitor. But he has been made aware of these actions.

My first Entry of 2003 :)
Chrimbo and new years eve went better than expected, especially New Years. Managed to get through half a bottle of After Shock with one of my neighbours on NYE and lived to tell the tale :)
Went on a spending spree yesteday and bought some new skates which totally rule, I should be on commission with the shop I bought them from because I've managed to drum up loads of interest in them when I went skating. I also bought a Nokia 7650 which is a superb phone, I have irda working with it under Linux now but I only seem to be able to transfer files from the phone not to it. No doubt some work is needed there.
My Christmas was nowhere near as productive as I had hoped it would be, but I did some work on the swlug site and played around with some ideas for my own site. I also got bored one night and set up a dns server on my local network and finally got around to setting up procmail.

If you designed or built a home that met energy code just a few years ago, that same home will probably not be legal to build just a few years from now. Some might say it's about time, while others may think it's not a good idea to increase code requirements during a depressed housing economy.
For over 25 years, residential energy codes improved an average of less than 1 percent per year. But since adoption of the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), codes are improving radically—perhaps by as much as 50 percent when the 2015 IECC is published.
I haven't met anyone who thinks energy costs will decrease, and almost everyone would appreciate smaller energy bills and lower emissions from their regional power plant. However, some builders think a slow housing market is not the time to add cost to a home. As recently reported by MINNPOST, Minnesota builders are voicing objections to potential increased costs for more efficient building codes.
At Rocky Mountain Institute, we purposely launched our Superefficient Housing Initiative at nearly the lowest point in this housing economy because it made sense to us. If a builder, developer, or designer is going to learn or try something new—or build on his/her brand with a new product offering, there's really no better time than when the market is slow. You're certainly not going to retool your design and construction approach when you're really busy designing or building homes.
Our initiative set out to prove that housing can be designed and constructed to be 60 percent more efficient than the 2006 IECC, for about the same cost as just meeting the code. We didn't set this target arbitrarily—we started by scanning the horizon of existing codes, standards, and guidelines. And there are a surprisingly large number of them—representing a wide range of energy targets and goals. I have attempted to rank these on a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) scale for relative comparison in the graph below.
While most of these codes and standards don't dismiss aggressive energy performance, they also don't necessarily require it. Therefore, "your mileage may vary" when applying a specific code or standard to a new home or building. While codes are a critical part of the energy solution, we need scalable, affordable solutions today to get ahead of the new codes and avert the detrimental effects of inefficient buildings. Between 2010 and 2050, the U.S. housing stock will change dramatically—with new construction, demolition, and replacements, we will add 20 billion square feet of new housing. Since the U.S. housing sector uses more energy than the commercial sector, this is our real opportunity to aim our efficiency goals well beyond code, and begin to imagine communities of energy independence.
As energy codes advance more rapidly, we also need a new way to talk about what we are aiming for. With over 3,000 code jurisdictions in the U.S., it's nearly impossible to understand what it means when a new home is designed and constructed to be 30 percent better than code. Really? What code? Or when a new net zero energy house has a large photovoltaic array on the roof and includes a heating system, a cooling system, and a ventilation system (in a relatively mild climate), you have to ask yourself whether it's efficient or not.
If the design and construction community were able to communicate energy efficiency in a new way—for instance from a baseline of zero up as opposed to top down (from the maximum allowed by code)—we might begin to have conversations that move us closer to where we need to be. Forget net zero; how close to zero before renewable energy supply is a better comparison model.
I am personally excited about the Passivhaus energy standard as a relatively new movement here in the U.S. The Passivhaus (Passive House) approach, originated in Germany, and is what I consider the world's most aggressive energy efficiency standard.
The Passive House standard can apply to design, construction and retrofit of our schools, offices, and homes, and uses between 80 and 90 percent less heating or cooling energy than typical existing stock. While it is isn't free to build this way, the economics will improve as more and more manufacturers of windows, insulation, and ventilation units see increased demand and innovate on their current models.
When it comes to simple solutions, based on my building science knowledge and experience, this I know to be true: a tight building envelope with superior (tuned and optimized) windows and little or no thermal bridging is the best bang for the buck. If these elements are truly optimized for climate, then you only need to worry about what you don't need to do, such as eliminating air conditioning or perimeter heating, and getting excellent indoor air quality using a small ventilation system.
We also need whole-house retrofits that approach or even meet the Passive House standard. A few of these projects are beginning to show up in California and the Pacific Northwest. Whether they meet the standard isn't the point; it's all about making significant reductions to current energy use to provide resilience for the new energy era at our doorstep.
Based on the experience in Germany, this approach appears much too weak and much too naive. There should be much more clever and much more efficient solutions, to safe energy today...
Mine is Energy Positive ,not just zero energy and includes my transportation. So keep going to much more efficient homes.
I have a 4 Kw GRID Tied system and improved my 15 year old home to be very efficient, I drive a Nissan LEAF and still get over 1,000 KwH credit from my utiltiy at the end of each year.
We only use LED lights, 1 have solar PV and Hot Water, a 16.5 SERR heat pump, solar tube lights, solar screens, inflectors on all windows, radiant barrier in the attic and have NO Fireplace or other fuels.
We are in Sunny Arizona which helps a lot. Germany the leader in Solar use gets only 60% of the solar we get.
Passivehaus is a simple and effective energy saving standard. The low tech energy efficent design and special building practices are confirmed by thousands of near net zero homes build around the world. Contrasted with the expensive high tech intensive approach of heavy use of solar panels and ground source heat pumps, etc to acheive NET-zero the Passivhaus' simplicity and lack of mechanicals is its strengths. The least expensive watt you buy is the one you didn't have to produce!
Too many ratings systems give a "score" or "grade" based on energy usage per s.f. or how the home stacks up to a comparable home built just to code. It's hard to explain to people that a large house with a better HERS rating can actually use more energy than a smaller home with a slightly worse HERS score. How about a scoring system for homes based on real energy usage? One that would show buyers the projected energy usage of a home (or the actual energy usage in the case of existing homes). Much like a miles per gallon rating, every home is scored on the same metric and you can compare homes of differing sizes to each other.
Interestingly, the "International Energy Code" is not international - it is generated by a US-based organization and is only used domestically, i.e., by US states and dependencies.
The Passivhaus concept is not particularly innovative - the techniques applied have been tried in various experimental buildings since the 1950s. From a practical perspective, most of the measures proposed will be of little benefit or simply cannot be implemented - the windmill in the back yard for example, dependence on access to sunlight during winter when demand for energy is highest in most parts of North America, especially the northern US and in Canada, and passing fresh air through the ground before it enters the residence in areas prone to Radon gas emissions. Insulating walls to R38 itself presents some challenges in the construction of wood framed buildings and certainly adds to the capital cost. Ensuring that the insulating effect is actually achieved tends to be problematic in mass construction projects. Sealing the building has proven to be a serious source of health problems wherever the climate is mild and damp and wind driven rain or inadequate ventilation of the interior spaces results in condensation within the envelope - mold growth has resulted in the condemnation or premature rehabilitation/reconstruction of multi-family residential units and single family houses in certain regions of the continent. Policy prescriptions for high insulation values and low infiltration rates (sealed houses) improperly applied can lead to undesirable realizations.
A useful reference for residential and commercial design in the U.S. is a book by Victor Olgyay titled "Design with Climate - Bioclimatic Approach to Architectural Regionalism", 1963. Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press.
Contrary to Mr. Brew's statement regarding energy cost, recent natural gas prices have fallen below historical levels on a constant dollar basis. This has had the effect of reducing the cost of generated electricity, as well as reducing the cost of home heating if natural gas is the heating fuel. Commodity prices tend to surprise from time to time and put paid to any broadly held notions of 'normal'.
Relevant to this discussion is the highly-developed case study available at:http://newellinstruments.com/equinoxThe owner of an engineering instruments company built a house for himself and his wife and instrumented it sixty ways from Sunday. The link above takes you to an account of the house, of its construction, and of the data documenting its properties. I've seen the house, and it is striking in its livability. The company offers services to others interested in building cutting-edge homes, including ones with exteriors that are very conventional looking.Of particular interest is (from the site): "An advanced technology comfort conditioning system (called a CERV, pronounced "serve", Conditioning Energy Recovery Ventilator) developed by Newell Instruments provides the capability to monitor and control temperature and humidity levels in the house at all times."
Passivhaus is in en exciting phase here in NYC. Builders and Architects are finding the question of increased cost (and presumed complexity of detail) to be less scary than anticipated. The learning curve is high too between the first and following projects. Less mechanical systems to pay for and cram in a building really is an upside that's easy to convey to clients.
Passive House is one of the most promising standards/energy design tools/construction methodologies available today. The core principal of first designing the most efficient envelope possible then supplementing that with active systems and renewables is the ideal way to achieve net-zero (or, better yet, energy positive) buildings.Not only will these building stay 'legal' well into the future but, as energy prices continue to increase, the benefits of sustainability will cause rents, resale values, demand, etc to be significantly higher than for comparable buildings that only meet current minimums required by code. In response to 'braemarinvestments' comment below: these issues mentioned are either not applicable to Passive House or are the result of incorrect or incomplete application of Passive House principals. Properly executed, a Passive House building will not experience the problems you discuss.
Response to Joel Zook,I agree that all the scoring systems are out of whack.The dollar is the best unit for an EPA style score (dollars/year), and it leaves square footage completely out.For more on this: http://greenbuildingindenver.blogspot.com/2010/10/leed-for-homes-rating-system.html
PASSIVHAUS - this is the baseline for my clients. each of them after retrofit (+addition most of the time) are astonished by the comfort of their home afterwards. [like driving a Ferrari]. Simplest way is to re-skinning the existing house with R=25+ foam with nailer, and fill existing cavity with batt or equal. Avoiding foam for many reasons. Roof I generally build up the same way and batt for the joists. R=80 is optimum where ever in US for both summer heat gain or winter heat loss reasons. For picture windows at least I prefer R=13 high efficiency 'Heatmirror' by Southwall, and the combination is a win win, as heating and cooling becomes negligible, taken care by tiny geo thermal unit(s) and solar PV... and as an extreme back up, a small wood burning stove for winter outages lasting more than 5 days...Truly for new construction to be connected to a power grid is plain odd...
