DPS helicopter fires on suspected illegal immigrants; 2 killed
An official with the Guatemalan consulate said Friday that the consul was looking into seven arrests and two deaths in the Rio Grande Valley, after a highway patrol helicopter opened fire on a vehicle suspected of smuggling illegal immigrants.
The Associated Press on Friday said diplomats are investigating the arrest of seven Guatemalans in connection with the Thursday afternoon incident near La Joya, about 70 miles northwest of Brownsville.
Humberto Palacios, an official with the Guatemalan consulate in McAllen, said the consul was looking into the matter. The nationalities of the dead and of an eighth person arrested later are unknown.
A Texas Department of Public Safety helicopter joined a pursuit initiated by Texas Parks and Wildlife Thursday in Hidalgo County, DPS spokeswoman Catherine Cesinger said.
A DPS officer "discharged a weapon" during the chase, according to Cesinger's statement.
She confirmed that two people traveling in the vehicle died, one was injured and transported to a hospital.
Texas Parks and Wildlife spokesman Mike Cox said Friday that the chase began because officers suspected illegal activity.
Troopers were looking for additional subjects Thursday afternoon and the Texas Rangers are investigating the incident, Cesinger said.
DPS has taken an aggressive role on the border in recent years, increasing the number of troopers there, deploying boats and dispatching helicopters with designated marksmen armed with powerful rifles.
As a result, the agency has been involved in a large number of high-speed chases — sometimes ending in what troopers call "splashdowns," when smugglers drive their vehicles into the Rio Grande to escape U.S. law enforcement.
Cartel operatives on the Mexican side often use boats to try to recover contraband from the smugglers' trucks.
The agency's director has said it's been forced into the role because federal agencies aren't doing enough to secure the border and because smugglers have become more aggressive, resorting to splashdowns, using other vehicles to block pursuits and throwing homemade spikes at officers.
But their methods have been questioned, including decisions to shoot at fleeing vehicles from patrol cars and helicopters, a tactic eschewed by other law enforcement agencies.
Rio Grande Valley bureau chief Lynn Brezosky contributed to this report.

With protesters taking to the streets around the world to fight for better income equality and economic opportunities for the poor and middle classes, the Vatican called Monday for an overhaul of world's financial systems and a return to a global economy based on ethical behavior and "achievement of a universal common good," the AP reports. While the Vatican has, in the past, criticized uncontrolled capitalism, the new call goes further, decrying "an economic liberalism that spurns all rules and controls."
The call for greater control and equality in financial markets comes at a time when Republican presidential candidates — many of whom tout their religious credentials on the campaign trail — have called for the repeal of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law aimed at preventing a crisis similar to that of 2008, and as Republicans in both Congress and on the campaign trail continue to back budget cuts that would eviscerate programs that help the poor. At the same time, protesters spurred by the original Occupy Wall Street demonstrations have brought increasing attention rising income inequality, corporate greed, and tax breaks for corporations and the wealthiest Americans.
The Vatican release is a clear sign that it supports the message of the Occupy Wall Street protests, Vincent J. Miller, the Gudorf Chair in Catholic Theology and Culture at the University of Dayton, said in a press release:
"While conservative leaders and several presidential candidates want to eviscerate financial reform, the Vatican has sent a powerful message that prudent regulation of our financial system is a moral priority. I expect Catholic neo-cons who usually present themselves as the defenders of orthodoxy will ignore or scramble to defuse this timely teaching. It's clear the Vatican stands with the Occupy Wall Street protesters and others struggling to return ethics and good governance to a financial sector grown out of control after 30 years of deregulation."
This isn't the first time faith leaders have spoken out against so-called religious conservatives who have prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy and repealing financial regulations over helping low-income Americans. A group of Catholic bishops signed a letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) and Budget Committee Chair Paul Ryan (R-WI) — both practicing Catholics — during the debt limit fight, denouncing budget cuts that disproportionately hurt the poor. Other religious leaders made similar calls, with Rev. Jim Wallis telling Republicans, "We did not get into fiscal trouble because of poor people. … The poor didn't cause this. Let's not make them pay for it."
Father Thomas Reese, a senior fellow at the Woodstock Theological Center at Georgetown University, wrote in a column today that the Vatican's statement is "to the left of" every member of Congress and perhaps even the Occupy Wall Street protesters.

Homework hell
Isn't that crazy?
She's not in high school or even middle school, she's in third grade. She just turned eight last month. Wtf?!
Although you'd think the situation would have me switching teachers, or schools, or something, I'm actually torn.
Could it be good for her?
My take on homework is that it should be useful, not busywork, and that it should not take so long that the poor kid has no time for recreation or sports or outside play.
Her homework, however, is taking about two hours a night, and school doesn't let out until 4 PM.
I thought it was just my daughter that was spending so much time on the cursed homework, as she is a slow worker, but back-to-school night proved me wrong. Most parents' chief concern was the homework load.
The teacher's reply? Two hours sounds about right. Two languages, twice the homework was pretty much her retort.
And although it makes sense to me that it does take more (effort, time) to learn both English and Spanish, no one ever mentioned that the workload would be double!! No hint of this during the kindergarten tour or orientation. Nothing. Nada.
But as this is my daughter's fourth year in this program, we're pretty vested.
Although her teacher is demanding, she is one of the very best at the school, and this is her 42nd year of teaching; surely she knows more about educating children than I do.
Could the heavy workload and high expectations be good for my daughter? The teacher's insistence on organization and personal responsibility lessons that will see her through not just third grade but through life?
Is this just what my daughter needs? Or is it unnecessary family torture? A foundation for all later academic work, or the year she learns to hate school?
One thing's for certain, when I retire in sunny Mexico, or Costa Rica, or the like, I'm never going to misplace the accents on palabras graves.

The guideline for homework should be 10 minutes per grade per night which puts your daughter at 30 minutes for homework (about what my 3rd grader has) Double that and you should still only be at 1 hour.
42 yrs of teaching could also make you out of touch with what your expectations are and what reality is.
A well rounded child should not be spending most of her out of school day, doing schoolwork. It cuts into extra-curricular activities as well as adding stress to the entire household. (could you really do that if BOTH girls had that kind of load??
Homework should also be geared to what a child can do independently, not needing a lot of parental help, which clearly is not happening here.
Do I need to buy that ticket West?? I really don't mind doing a little teacher conference, baby time , beach combo. :)
Olivia is having this same problem with her advanced 7th grade Algebra class that just happens to be taught by a former HS teacher. Being smart in math does not make a 12 yr old the same developmental level as a 16 yr old taking the same class.
I'll let you know how well I do relaying that sentiment to her.
Hang in there...

I've already bored you to tears with my opinion about homework...but I think your first line says it all - the homework is overshadowing your joy at being with your girls. I don't get how you have enough hours in the day, and what do kids in after school care or activities do?
My only involvement in homework is to check it and sign it each night. My kids probably spend less than 30 minutes each on their math and/or L.A. homework most nights, and then they read independently for 20-30 minutes in bed. If we have a busy night, I'll often send a note saying that we hardly had time to play so the homework will get done the next day. On those days, they don't get "credit" in their little checkbook system of rewards at school, but that doesn't really motivate them anyway; they say that the prizes are lame.
I think it's important that they follow up on their commitments and meet the expectations that the teacher sets for them, but I also think it's my job as their mom to protect their right to be kids; and I often see more value in riding bikes and climbing trees than rehashing the work they spent 7 hours doing at school.
I'm sure your girls will have much better organizational and work life skills, mine will be the ones staring out the window during their SAT tests. I guess those apples didn't fall too far from this tree =)

I agree with Jacquie. And, I want to add that the organizational stuff can get worked out without it being shoved down their throats from day 1. We don't expect them to have the maturity or developmental ability to drive a car yet, and we have sense enough to not try to teach them until they're 15. Would we be a nation of better drivers if we started putting kids behind the wheel at 5, so they could be acquainted with the necessary skills before they need them at 16?

Oh dear. I was terrible at homework in high school, but a good student. Mostly. So my advice is ancient and moot. And has to do with high school, so is even *more* moot.
I will tell you this, though. The reading thing? In any language? Rocks.

Back in The Day, 763 years ago when I was in school, I didn't have actual homework until high school. What little we had until then was easily completed in (yes, ancient times) study hall. I loved school mostly, but I also loved the feeling of freedom when the final bell rang and we could head home to play and read and eat Mom's cookies. My education did not suffer for lack of homework.

Thanks for the feedback everyone.
I lumped her nightly reading in the two hours, she is expected to read for 20 minutes each night in both languages, so with the 10 min per grade rule, it looks like it's 40 minutes too much overall.
She has both aftercare and dance three
times a week, so it definitely is a challenge..

Do you know there has never been conclusive proof that there is any benefit to homework? Not. At. All. I am all for a well-rounded kid who has time to play every day.
- October 10, 2009 at 6:41 PM
So...We had a teacher like this last year. It got easier as the year went on. Expectations became clear and we got into the groove. Also, we did all the reading on the weekend so that we did not have to spend time on it on weeknights. Sounds excessive, but there are some positives. Attention from mom...and they really do learn to be more responsible for themselves. Good luck!

The button "Print" in the main toolbar immediately starts the printer to print. With this button there's no possibility to adjust printing settings (B/W or Color, Nbr of copies, print-quality etc..) in advance. This is only possible via the menu "File" > "Page Setup...". I did not find this entry in the customization pane > available toolbar buttons. Is there a possibility to create a button in the main toolbar for the function "Page Setup" and if so, how to do ?
Thanks and regards
Sabine, there is no such ready-made button that I koow of, and no command tag. For fun, I offer an outre solution, which you may take or leave as you wish.
This assumes a fairly recent Windows OS. Create a custom toolbar button that launches the following PocoScript, called PageSetup.
- Code: Select all
{ Sends the keystrokes Alt+fu to the current window.
Embed $code "EndEmbed"
' Automatically generated, disposable VBScript
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
WshShell.SendKeys "%(fu)"
Set WshShell = Nothing
AppendToFile False
AddStrings $vbsfilename $scriptpath "PageSetup.vbs"
SaveBody $code $vbsfilename
{ Do not use ExecuteAndWait with a VBScript.
Execute $vbsfilename
Tested with PocoMail 4.8 and Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.

Sidewalk chalk activist lands in court
Watchdog Minute: Sidewalk chalk prosecution
The San Diego City Attorney's office began making its case Wednesday against an activist who repeatedly scrawled anti-bank slogans on sidewalks outside three Bank of America branches using water-soluble children's chalk.
Jeff Olson, 40, faces 13 misdemeanor vandalism charges for the way he made his views known. He faces up to 13 years in jail and $13,000 in restitution, although prosecutors say incarceration is rare in vandalism cases.
If the city loses the case, it might be chalked up to jurors who question if the city should be spending taxpayer money bringing charges against someone who plied his activism -- or vandalism -- using something that can be easily washed away with a hose.
During jury selection, Deputy City Attorney Paige Hazard asked 12 potential jurors if they thought the case against Olson was a poor use of taxpayer money. At least six hands shot up.
"I think this is a tremendous waste," said one.
That view was echoed by Olson, who spoke to the U-T during a courtroom break.
"This is an unconstitutional overreach and a total waste of taxpayer money," he said. "I'm am not going out on a limb to say that this is outrageous."
The City Attorney's Office sees the issue as dealing with quality of life for residents.
"People might look at it as one incident or one isolated person, but graffiti is an issue that is very prevalent in San Diego," said Regan Savalla, the head of the Neighborhood Prosecution Unit, which oversees graffiti cases. "Whether that's with chalk or paint or pen, we treat them all the same."
Mayor Bob Filner has also expressed interest in the case and said he wants the City Council to discuss the expense of prosecution in a closed session meeting. Filner this week used his veto power to cut $500,000 from the City Attorney's budget, and the office has indicated the neighborhood unit will bear the brunt of the cut.
"I believe this is a misuse and waste of taxpayer money," Filner said in a June 20 memo to City Attorney Jan Goldsmith. "It could also be characterized as an abuse of power that infringes on First Amendment, particularly when it is arbitrarily applied to some, but not all, similar speech."
The docket for closed session is developed collectively by Filner, Goldsmith and City Council President Todd Gloria.
"Council President Gloria would be happy to hear the item at closed session, as well, as that is an appropriate venue for discussing ongoing legal cases," said Katie Keach, a Gloria aide.
The mayor's office did not respond to a U-T question asking if Filner will appear at Olson's trial as a witness. Filner has appeared in a courtroom as a surprise witness in the past. In April, he appeared on behalf of an activist for seals at the Children's Pool in La Jolla, where the City Attorney's Office was prosecuting him on a petty theft charge.
Olson said he was inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement and wanted to convince bank customers to move their money from mega-banks to non-profit community credit unions. He started by walking with a sign, and then took to chalk.
He drew his protest slogans from February 2012 to August 2012. The messages ranged from "stop big banks" to designs of octopus tentacles grasping wads of cash.
"What are they going to do next?" Olson attorney Tom Tosdal said. "Prosecute all the kids who play with chalk on the sidewalk?"
Olson and Tosdal agree with Filner that the chalk prosecution is a First Amendment case, but jurors will hear only about vandalism. Superior Court Judge Howard H. Shore granted a prosecution motion prohibiting Tosdal from invoking free speech or freedom of expression during the trial.
The defense claims that Bank of America pressured the City Attorney into bringing the charges -- something prosecutors deny.
"We prosecute vandalism and theft cases regardless of who the perpetrator or victim might be," said a statement released by the City Attorney. "We don't decide, for example, based upon whether we like or dislike banks. That would be wrong under the law and such a practice by law enforcement would change our society in very damaging ways."
Win or lose, San Diego is not alone in bringing graffiti cases against those who use chalk rather than a can of spray paint.
In an August 2012 report, Mother Jones magazine found that more than 50 people in 17 U.S. cities have been tagged by authorities for chalk drawings. The report cited cases in San Francisco, Denver, New York and Manchester, New Hampshire.

Carrie Underwood Wishes She'd Taken Her Mom's Skincare Advice
"If I could go back and talk to my 15-year-old self I'd be like, 'Seriously, listen to your mom,'" she tells PEOPLE
Evan Agostini/AP
These days, Carrie Underwood has her skincare routine down to a science — but it wasn't quite that way growing up.
"If I could go back and talk to my 15-year-old self I'd be like, 'Seriously, listen to your mom,'" she tells PEOPLE. "Drink more water, put more sunscreen on, moisturize. There are a lot of people like me who wish they did more."
But as the face of Olay, Underwood has come to realize how important it is to take care of your skin — and that "it doesn't have to be complicated," she says. "I don't have time for complicated. I don't have space in my luggage for 20 things that do different things for my skin — I don't know anyone who does."
She's always happy to make a little extra room in her suitcase for some fun makeup, though. "I love to play with makeup," she admits. "I will go into a makeup store and walk out and not even know what happened, carrying this giant bag of stuff. But I can, because I'm on stage — I can wear things that I can't otherwise. So I have a little bit of everything in my kit."
Underwood will have that "kit" with her when she goes on tour this fall to promote her new album, Blown Away. But first, she's teaming up with Olay to tout the "Beauty by Example" campaign, a new charitable initiative where women can visit Olay's Facebook page and sign a declaration acknowledging that their moms are beautiful inside and out. For every "signature," Olay will donate one ounce of product (up to one million ounces) to look good, feel better, a national organization that works to boost the self-esteem of women undergoing treatment for cancer.
It's an initiative Underwood is happy to get behind. "My mom is a great example to me and my sisters, she's just the best," she says. "If I ever had one of those days when it's like, 'I don't feel so great about myself,' she'd always tell me, 'You're beautiful, you're funny, you sing well.' She was always a positive person in my life, which is important," she adds. "People need more positive influences." Visit facebook.com/Olay to join the campaign.

Enough about me - let's get to the list:
First place, and closest to a TKAM on my list, is HALF OF A YELLOW SUN by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. This is ideal characterization and plotting, while dealing with a difficult topic without becoming sappy. I cannot praise it enough.
Other top books of 2008 are (in my reading calendar order):
- GATES OF WAR, by Steven Pressfield. Long live Sparta and its rich history.
- THE GOOD EARTH, by Pearl S. Buck. Sensual language and imagery of pre-revolutionary China.
- FIELDWORK, by Mischa Berlinski. I always find it fascinating when someone tricks me into believing a story is "real."
- THE AMAZING ADVENTURES OF KAVALIER & CLAY, by Michael Chabon. Early New York, comic books, Jewish history - you can't go wrong.
- THE BRIEF WONDROUS LIFE OF OSCAR WAO, by Junot Diaz. Dominican boy with no "game" and several pop culture/80's references.
- A CASE OF EXPLODING MANGOES, by Mohammed Hanif. An interesting take on the death of Pakistan's president in 1988 with prose that sings.
- A THREAD OF GRACE, by Mary Doria Russell. Italy's role in WWII, as told through several point of views. Simply amazing plotting and characterization.
- THE GIVEN DAY, by Dennis Lehane. While I hate how much I loved this book, it is a tapestry of Boston history and racism in the 1910s. Lehane, stick to this style of writing.
- THE CONFESSIONS OF MAX TIVOLI, by Andrew Sean Greer. With the popularity of Benjamin Button, if you want to explore the idea of backward aging, read this book. Bah, read it anyway.
- SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN, by Lisa See. Stunning historical vision with intricate layering of women's language, both spoken and written.

The stencil was my first attempt at stenciling, and I suppose I liked it. It was nerve-wracking, really. One smudge, and your fabric is toast. But I think it turned out OK. This bag was crafted from some denim (new) that I found at the thrift store. I also found two large lots of khaki there, which will probably be made into laundry bags, as well.
I think this bag would partner well with some dryer sachets (and maybe a roll of quarters) for a super gift for a college student.

"I tend to be my own worst critic. I don't need a lot of criticism from other people because I get enough from myself. I'm very paranoid about my own perception of the way I play."
(Villanova)...6'5'', 268...Howard Michael Long. . .Second round draft pick, 1981. . . Moved into starting role in fifth game of second season. . . Recorded career best 13 sacks in 1983 including five in one game. . .Career sack total of 84 does not include 7.5 recorded as a rookie before sack was official NFL stat. . . All-Pro 1983, 1984, 1985. . .Named All-AFC four times, 1983-1986. . . Selected to eight Pro Bowls. . . Born January 6, 1960, in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Howie Long was a second-round pick of the Oakland Raiders in the 1981 NFL Draft and the 48th player selected overall. A four-year letterman at Villanova, Long was the MVP in the 1980 Blue-Gray Game. An all-around athlete, he was a basketball and track star in high school as well as the Northern Collegiate boxing champion.
Long joined the Raiders one year after the team won Super Bowl XV. Three years later, in 1983, the 6-5, 268-pound defensive end helped the team capture another Super Bowl title with a 38-9 win over the Washington Redskins in Super Bowl XVIII. His five-tackle performance in that game capped off a season that saw him record a career-high 13 sacks, including five in one game against the Redskins.
The following season he recorded 58 tackles, 12 sacks, and nine passes defensed and was named the NFL Defensive Lineman of the Year by the NFL Alumni Association. Long moved into a starting role with the Raiders beginning in the fifth game of the strike-shortened 1982 season.
He went on to be selected to eight Pro Bowls, the first following the 1983 season. Fast, strong, and explosive off the ball, he was just the second Raider defensive lineman to make a Pro Bowl. A first- or second-team All-Pro choice in 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1989, he was also named All-AFC four times. In 1985, the hard-playing defensive end accounted for 10 quarterback sacks, with at least one in eight games. As a result, he was selected as Raider Lineman's Club Defensive Lineman of the Year by his teammates.
Although he missed much of the 1988 season due to injury, he still managed to record three sacks and intercept the first pass of his career, which he returned 73 yards in a game against the Houston Oilers. During his 13-year career, Long, a member of the NFL's All-Decade team of the 1980s, recorded 84 career sacks, not including 7.5 sacks in 1981 before the sack was an official NFL statistic.

Long started at left defensive end. He recorded two solo tackles and one pass defensed.

Welcome Back
Earlier in the week, I mentioned how I like natural textures, and taking photographs of anything weathered and worn. This tutorial was inspired by a weathered picket fence. The technique is quick and simple and because you can creat this with a flat finish, its ideal for cards, art journals, ATC as well as book covers and altered art surface decoration. Join me in this latest instalment of Adventures in Acrylics to create a weathered wood, paint effect.
You Will Need
- Mount Board in white
- Winsor and Newton: Galeria; Acrylic Paint: Buff Titanium and Raw Umber
- Scrap of car sponge
- Palette
- I am working on white mount board, that hasn't been gesso'd. You can also use other board but for this effect you will need to apply a layer of white gesso to it, to give you the white base. That does affect how the paint will move on the board though.
- Put some buff Titanium onto your palette. Choose a direction for your wood grain.
- Dab your car sponge into the paint to pick up some colour, then dab off the excess paint on to the palette, this also blends the paint into the sponge.
- Swipe your paint across the board, in the direction you chose for your wood grain. You just want to catch a few areas here and there, this is to create some texture, rather than covering the card. Let this layer dry completely before you move on.
- Put some Raw Umber out onto your palette, dab into this paint using a clean area of your sponge. Dab off onto the palette before moving to the board. Apply this colour by swiping the sponge across the board in the same direction you did for the lighter colour. Allow this layer to dry before you move on.
- To get the best results you want to break up any large areas of colour, layer over particularly dark areas with the titanium buff, and over light areas with the Raw Umber. Let layers dry between coats or the paint will merge together rather than tone down the earlier layers. Continue these last few steps until you have an effect that you like.
I have written the instructions as well as the video, so that if you don't speak English, there is always the trusty Translator 🙂 I've put a link to one, in the side bar.
Options/Added Extras
Here's a paper mache box that I decorated using the weathered wood paint effect.
The Winsor & Newton Galeria, is a flow formula acrylic paint, if you want a more textured effect try using Daler Rowney Cryla as that is a heavy bodied acrylic paint. The consistency of Cryla is more like that of toothpaste, so will leave a more textured result.
Try altering the colours for different base wood effects.
Since making the film, I've noticed the Cryla equivalent; called Titan Buff and is not as yellow as the Galeria Titanium buff paint. This is not a problem if you apply the Galeria one lightly, but it will need more careful blending if you get larger areas of it on this project.
If you want to seal in your colours, apply a layer of matt medium over the whole piece, this takes a while to fully dry but does not affect the colours. I'll be going into more detail about mediums, later in the course.
- For suppliers: Check out the Art tab at the top of the blog, for manufacturers and retailers. They will be in the supplies section.
- For more information about the Online Workshop series Adventures in Acrylics, check out the dedicated Workshop page.
Hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and will give this technique a try, I'd love to see your results. Do leave a comment and a link to your projects if you post them on your blog.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

For instance, this article is about study findings that green tea "could help protect against the damage caused by heart attacks and strokes".
According to this study, conducted by the U.K.'s Institute of Child Health, the antioxidant epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can "reduce cell death after a heart attack or stroke." (Incidentally, green tea contains more EGCG than any other type of tea.)
EGCG does this by suppressing the action of the protein Stat1, which induces cells death after a stressful even—such as a heart attack or stroke. Reduced cell death during and after a heart attack means a faster recovery and less-severe long-term damage.

Steve Jobs Answers My iPhone Questions
In conjunction with the review of the iPhone in The Mossberg Solution, I asked CEO Steve Jobs some iPhone questions via email. Below are his responses:
Walt: Who is the intended customer for the iPhone? Is it for current "smart phone" users? For iPod fans who want a combined device?
Steve: Almost everyone we've talked to hates their phone. The terrible user interfaces keep most users from discovering or using most of the features. We'd like to change that for everyone. Many users want both a phone and an iPod, since most phones are not good music players. When you subtract the $200 cost of an iPod, which is included in the iPhone, the rest of the iPhone costs just $299.
Walt: Why did you decide to omit a physical keyboard? Won't that turn off people who pay a lot for phones like BlackBerrys because they are heavy email users?
Steve: The iPhone has the best, most advanced keyboard in any mobile device. Like all small keyboards, it takes three or four days to get used to. IPhone users will quickly learn to trust its intelligence to correct their mistakes automatically. So far, everyone who has used it loves it, and reports that they are typing as fast or faster than they did on their Treo or BlackBerry or other smart phone. The iPhone's keyboard lets us use far more sophisticated software to improve accuracy, customize the keyboard for specific applications, and of course remove the keyboard when it's not needed, freeing iPhone's entire large screen for reading email, browsing the Web, looking at maps, enjoying photos and movies, and doing things we haven't yet invented. We think the iPhone's keyboard is one of its greatest assets and competitive advantages.
Walt: Why does the iPhone only run on a relatively slow cellphone data network, much slower than those used by some other smart phones?
Steve: The iPhone has built-in Wi-Fi and uses the EDGE high-speed data network. EDGE is pervasive throughout the U.S., and for many applications like email, maps, stocks and weather, it is plenty fast. The iPhone automatically switches to Wi-Fi whenever it senses a known Wi-Fi network, and Wi-Fi delivers data several times faster than 3G networks. So the iPhone sandwiches 3G networks with something a bit slower on the bottom and something far faster on the top.
Walt: When will there be an iPhone that runs on the fastest, so-called "3G" networks?
Steve: Walt, you know we don't talk about future products. Again, Wi-Fi is far faster than 3G networks.
Walt: Why does the iPhone only work with a single carrier, AT&T? Will there be iPhones for other carriers in the U.S.?
Steve: AT&T is the most popular wireless carrier in the U.S. and they have been investing billions of dollars in the last couple of years to create a great network. They also have the advantage of using GSM technology, which is used by over 80% of the world. The iPhone is a world phone with quad-band GSM technology that works great in the U.S., Europe and most of Asia.
Walt: Will you follow the pattern you set with the iPod and bring out less costly models? If so, when?
Steve: We don't talk about future products.
Walt: This first model is missing some features some other smart phones have, like video recording, instant messaging, and real-time GPS navigation. Do you plan to upgrade iPhones purchased now so they have these features? If so, when?
Steve: We don't talk about future products. I will say that the iPhone is the most sophisticated software platform ever created for a mobile device, and that we think software features are where the action will be in the coming years. Stay tuned.

5 oz 2016 America the Beautiful | Cumberland Gap National Historic Park Silver Coin
Cumberland Gap National Park celebrates an historic route through the Appalachian mountains that was used by many settlers as a gateway to a new life in the western frontiers of America. The Gap was used by hundreds of thousands of early settlers leaving America's original colonial settlements in search of a new life out West.
The obverse of the coin features the John Flanagan effigy of George Washington, as it has appeared on US quarters since 1932.
The reverse features an early settler holding a rifle, while gazing through the Cumberland Gap. You can almost sense his trepidation mixed with excitement at the start of a journey to a new life.
The America the Beautiful series will eventually comprise 56 unique coins by the time the series is complete in 2021. These US Mint coins are a perfect way build your wealth in ounces by investing in a government minted product with a relatively low premium.
In multiples of 10 these coins ship in a tube. In multiples of 100 they ship in a US Mint monster box.

Welcome to Who Flopped It Better? A recurring segment here where we look at a sample used in a variety of rap songs and determine who indeed flopped it better? This week we look at "Love to Love You" by Donna Summer!
Donna Summer – "Love to Love You" (1975)
Donna Summer's first disco hit in America. A midst a successful disco career in Europe, Summer suggested the line "I love to love you" to songwriter Giorgio Moroder who flushed the concept out into a full song that went to number one on the dance charts. Its infectious bassline has lived on, being used in three particularly different ways.
Digital Underground – "Freaks of the Industry" (1989)
Off the group's celebrated debut Sex Packets, "Freaks of the Industry" maintains Summer's sultriness to the point making the bassline come off almost sinister in its seduction.
Eyedea and Abilities – "Big Shots" (1999)
On the other hand, here we have DJ Abilities' minimalist stripping of the sample to just the isolated bass, giving an authoritative thump for celebrated battle champ Eyedea to lop character study punchlines over.
Run-DMC – "Degeneration X" (2000)
Finally we have the Run-DMC reworking of the "Degeneration X" theme, a reworking of "Love to Love You" if it was performed by Rage Against the Machine. It's a puzzling song that really dates Run as, despite being the entrance music for wrestling's preeminent counter-culture degenerates, Run spends the first verse lecturing rappers who sampled him without asking permission and then threatening to sue them. Tough talk from a man who spent his first four albums not clearing a single sample at all.
So the question arises, who do you think flopped it better?
Until next time…let's agree to agree!

Caroline Bailey Brinson May passed away at her daughter's home in Quincy, Florida, on Wednesday, May 2, 2012. Carolyn was the wife of Fount May, Sr., SNA past president, FNGLA past president and active member of IPPS Southern Region.
Carolyn was born December 7, 1918, to Dr. John Bradford Brinson and Martha Bailey Brinson at their family home in Monticello. She was a fifth generation Floridian and descendant of some of Florida's earliest settlers including John Branch, Florida's last territorial governor.
She graduated from Jefferson County High School in 1936 and Florida State College for Women and taught for a short time in the elementary schools of Jefferson and Gadsden Counties. She married Fountain Howard May, on March 18, 1944. From this union of 63 years she had three children, Fountain Howard May, Jr., Martha Brinson May Sapp, and John Bradford May. She was an active member of the First Presbyterian Church, Quincy, Florida.
Carolyn taught Bible in the public schools of Gadsden County for 20 years and for 35 years at Robert F. Munroe Day School where she was loved and fondly called 'MaMay' by her students. The school auditorium bears her name and her favorite Bible verse, "Be ye kind, one to another, tender hearted, loving, forgiving one another."
She was a member of the Tallahassee Town Committee of Colonial Dames, Kappa Delta Sorority, the Quincy Garden Club, was a recipient, along with her husband, of the 4-Way Test Award of the Quincy Rotary Club, recipient of the Book of Golden Deeds of the Exchange Club of Quincy, an Honorary Life Member of Women of the First Presbyterian Church, Letter of Recognition from Governor Jeb Bush for her dedication and service to Robert F. Munroe School and the Gadsden community, recipient of a Letter of Appreciation from Congressman Allen Boyd for her passion and commitment to teaching the Bible and High Morals to students in Gadsden County, and recipient of other awards from Gadsden County Public Schools. She was a Girl Scout leader and assisted several members in achieving the Curved Bar.
The Lord was always first in her life followed by her family. The epitome of a true Southern Lady, she lovingly served them dinner every Sunday after church. Her devotion to her children and grandchildren was a blessing of life lessons, a strong faith, and love for one another.
She is survived by: her children, Fountain H. May, Jr. (Beth) of Quincy, Martha May Sapp (Bill) of Quincy, John Bradford May (Crystle) of Quincy; her grandchildren, Ashley May (Beth) of Quincy, Richard May (Melissa) of Quincy, Elizabeth May of Quincy, Carolyn Sapp McIntosh (Josh) of Savannah, Hunter Sapp (Lee Anne) of Atlanta, Andrew Sapp, Marcelle May Rhodes (Billy), all of Quincy, and John Bradford May, Jr., of Tallahassee; her great grandchildren, Lachlan and Hunter McIntosh, David and Jessie May, Lawre Bradley, Lucy, and Fountain May, Georgia and Gracie Rhodes, and Anna Gray Sapp; her sisters-in-law Joyce Curry Brinson and Beulah Laslie Brinson, both of Monticello, and many cousins, nieces and nephews.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her husband, Fountain Howard May, her brothers, Dr. John B. Brinson, Jr. and Edward Bailey Brinson, both of Monticello, her brother-in-law Donald Ferris May and his wife Addie Belle May of Quincy, her sister-in-law Lawson May Curry Griffin and brothers-in-law John Curry and Dr. John Mettaeur Griffin, all of Quincy.
Visitation will be at the First Presbyterian Church Fellowship Hall at 2 P.M with the memorial service following at 3 P.M., Friday, May 4, 2012.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Carolyn B. May Scholarship Fund at Robert F. Munroe Day School, 91 Old Mt. Pleasant Road, Quincy, Florida 32352 or to Big Bend Hospice.
Expressions of sympathy may be mailed to Fount May, Jr., May Nursery, 178 Nursery Road, Havana, FL 32333.

No true Scotsman fallacy
"No true Scotsman" is a story used by the philosopher Antony Flew to illustrate a very common fallacious argument, often used by apologists to take advantage of the ambiguity of the definition of a certain key word (or words) in their argument.
The classic story goes something like this:
- Scotsman A: You know, laddie, no Scotsman puts sugar in his porridge.
- Scotsman B: Is that so? I seem to recall my cousin Angus (who is from Scotland) puts sugar in his porridge.
- Scotsman A: Aye... but no true Scotsman puts sugar in his porridge.
The implication is that Angus is not a true Scotsman, despite the fact that he is from Scotland. The fallacy lies in redefining the word "Scotsman" in order to exclude those who put sugar in their porridge.
Similarly, apologists argue that Christians or Muslims are good people by categorically denying that anyone who does a bad deed is not a "true Christian" or "true Muslim". The lack of a generally accepted definition of "Christian" or "Muslim" allows apologists to redefine the word to fit their arguments. For this reason, many self-professed believers who commit bad deeds are excluded from the group by apologists.
Since the Scotsman fallacy relies on ambiguity in the definition of the word "Scotsman", it is a form of equivocation.
Qualification of Terms[edit]
In his work on apologetics, Flew discusses the value of the No True Scotsman fallacy in its qualification of excluding members of a group from that group on the basis of their membership being undesirable. It is often a response to ad hominem attacks on a religious institution, or attacks on the moral standing of such an institution, on the basis that its members partake in activities the organization condemns.
For example:
- Apologist: No Christian could ever commit genocide.
- Interlocutor: Well, Adolf Hitler was a Christian, and he committed genocide. Ipso facto, it is the case that a given Christian has committed genocide, and so any other Christian can commit genocide.
- Apologist: Adolf Hitler was not a 'true' Christian, because that behavior is not consistent with living a Christ-like life.
In this case, there is a requalification of the word Christian. The interlocutor takes it to mean something to the effect of "professes a belief in the Nicene Creed" or "accepts the proposition that Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected in order to serve some great cosmological purpose that makes him worth worshipping." The apologist then asserts that those things are not sufficient conditions for being a "true" Christian. Rather, the necessary condition is "living a Christ-like life."
The move that Flew asserts is best is a move to clarify the definition of the term:
- Interlocutor: Well, then what are the conditions for being considered a 'true' Christian?
The intention of the move is to establish the exact definition. If one asserts that the definition of a 'true' Christian is predicated on behavior, then the statement "No Christian could ever commit genocide" because true a priori. However, the qualification also calls into question the legitimacy of the label. Flew asserts that the over-qualification (having too many conditions) of the group "'true' Christian" causes it to become less meaningful to the discourse, and allows for a number of unprecedented moves, wherein individuals belonging to any group get to renounce the group's liability for the crimes of the members of the group, like so:
- Nazi Sympathizer: No Nazi could ever commit genocide.
- Interlocutor: Well, Adolf Hitler was a Nazi, and he committed genocide, etc.
- Nazi Sympathizer: Adolf Hitler was not a 'true' Nazi, because that behavior is not consistent with the principles of National Socialism.
The problem is that what is at issue is the apologist's interpretation of the doctrine of their religion. The apologist interprets Christianity as fundamentally non-violent, and as such eschews all violence, and believes that the institution eschews all violence; however, this conflicts with the interpretations of an enormous number of those who self-identify as Christians. In order to qualify the term "Christian" properly, what really needs to be pressed is some move like this:
- Interlocutor: Well, then what are the conditions for being considered a 'true' Christian?
- Apologist: Well, the conditions are a commitment to non-violence and charity and civil service.
- Interlocutor: And why are those things conditions for being considered a 'true' Christian?
- Apologist: Because they are a part of the fundamental doctrine of the religion.
- Interlocutor: That doesn't seem right. Couldn't it be the case that they are a fundamental part of your interpretation of the doctrine of the religion? It doesn't seem that everyone reading the text locates the same interpretation.
There are then two lines for the apologist. Either (1) to concede that the interpretation is subjective, and that adherence to the interpretation is not really an objective metric for including or excluding people from the group or (2) to insist that their interpretation is factual and objective, and that membership is conditioned by right conduct and right belief. Either of these moves resolves the fallacy.

Wal-Mart has decided to back off from its plan to build a new superstore near the Wilderness battlefield. Not only that, but the company is going to reimburse Orange County for the legal costs incurred in going to court over their decision to approve the project. Hats off to the preservationists who kept this cause going in the face of discouraging obstacles, and to Wal-Mart for doing the right thing.
Speaking of battlefield preservation, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board met today, but without a decision on the proposed Gettysburg casino. The folks from No Casino Gettysburg were there anyway, in order to stay on top of things. They have their own blog, which I didn't know about until today; I recommend you make it one of your regular online stops so you can keep up with what's going on with this threat to America's most famous battlefield. I've added it to my blogroll here.
Drop a line to the PGCB and let them know you stand with those who don't think Gettysburg is an appropriate place for a casino. Hopefully when the time comes for them to make the call, we can celebrate another victory to go alongside today's.

"Psst! Wanna buy a fish?" The peaceful dock at Quadra Island, B.C., was the last place I expected to be approached by a malnourished fish dealer with a nicotine habit. When he sidled up to me, the word "fish" was about the last thing I would have expected to hear. All kinds of questions sprang to mind. What kind of a fish? Was it legal? If so, why the shady inquiry? If not, did I look like I needed an illegal fish? By the time I decided to ask, he had vanished.
On a whirlwind 10-day trip to meet and reconnect with our extended families living on the Atlantic and the Pacific coasts, my partner and I felt like we were on our own version of The Amazing Race - Canada.
Here are the highlights of the five harbours we visited.
We visited Halifax during the five days of music, parades, fireworks and general merrymaking at the end of July called the Natal Day Festival. The boardwalk was filled with families enjoying the free entertainment.
Halifax harbour is very much a working harbour with a military presence, a gigantic shipping container complex and a shipyard that is planning a major expansion.
But it's not all work and no play.
Halifax packs a boatload of history, art, shopping and dining into a very walkable six block area. For a calendar of events visit www.destinationhalifax.com.
VISIT: We ducked into the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, slipped into a deck chair recreated for the Titanic exhibit and were wowed by the wonderful scale models of the Age of Steam gallery. Just down the street we sampled a slice of 1863 history and raised a glass of suds in the original Alexander Keith's Brewery where tours are led by very enthusiastic young performers in period costume.
HARBOUR HIGHLIGHT: Tour the enormous expanse of Halifax harbour by schooner or take the amphibious Harbour Hopper for a narrated tour by land and sea. Kids will love the short cruise on Theodore Tugboat. For info on these three tours that run all year, visit www.mtcw. ca.
We had sunny days and rain in Saint John, but we discovered that the weather didn't stop us from exploring the harbour thanks to the Inside Connection Pedway system. We took a stroll outdoors along the waterfront at sunset to find a beach volleyball game in progress right beside a stage where the band was drawing quite a crowd. The next morning, it was pouring rain, but we walked through the Pedway to the Saint John City Market, Canada's oldest operating farmers' market, where fresh fish, vegetables, jam and cheese vendors vie for space with pocket restaurants and handicrafts.
VISIT: You'll find lots to see and do in the New Brunswick Museum, in Market Square along the Pedway. A display of huge cutaway models gave us a new appreciation of the craft of shipbuilding and in the Hall of Great Whales, a full-sized right whale floated overhead.
MUNCH: For a taste of European fine dining within walking distance of the Saint John harbour we recommend Décimal 81. The ambience is superb, especially at sunset when the simple and elegant decor glows with warmth from the large streetside windows and then settles into an intimate candlelight setting. www.decimal81.ca
STAY: The Hilton Saint John, a 4.5 star hotel, sits directly on the boardwalk and is a starting point for the Inside Connection. You might see humpback whales from your window and you can't miss the cruise ships when they dock right next to the hotel. www.hiltonsaintjohn.com
HARBOUR HIGHLIGHT: For heart-stopping true blue Canadian thrills, the Reversing Falls Jet Boat rides can't be beat. If you'd rather stay on dry land, head to Fallsview Park. Visit www.discoversaintjohn.com for more information, including tide tables.
A lacy collar of sailboats fills Victoria's harbour, which is only fitting given the white glove history of this most English of Canadian cities. Historic stone buildings encircle the inner harbour that was one of the prettiest and busiest harbours we saw, with ferries, water taxis and float planes in constant motion.
VISIT: Even if you don't think you're a fan of wildlife art, The Robert Bateman Centre, which just opened this spring in the Steamship building, might convince you otherwise. The galleries feature advanced interactive screens, where you can create your own virtual collection and a QR code searchable database of information interacts with your cellphone. It sounded like we were in a forest when we triggered birdsongs by waving at sensors near the paintings. http://batemancentre.org
STAY: The Inn at Laurel Point was a great place to watch all the goings-on in the harbour from our balcony, especially since the hotel is surrounded on three sides by water. The Asian-inspired decor makes each suite seem more like a spa than a hotel room. The minute I walked into the huge, marble bathroom I was dreaming of a soak in that tub. Add its waterfront restaurant, AURA, a Japanese garden that stays green all year round and friendly, helpful staffto the mix and it's easy to see why they earned a 2013 Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor. http://laurelpoint.com
the dock. The jewel box of a harbour is studded with vessels from dinghies to elegant sailboats with float planes taking offevery 30 seconds. Just a block inland is Commercial Street, the heart of the Old City Quarter.
MUNCH: The Danforth Deli & Grill lives up to its mission statement of preparing local and organic food "by hand without the use of microwave ovens or deep fryers" but they still turn out a mean Reuben and great gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches ("Promote cheese" is anther motto). The proprietor's wife makes the homemade strawberry jam and the organic Nanaimo bars were very good, but tiny. www.danforthdeli.ca
QUADRA ISLAND, B.C. The tiniest harbour that we visited has a charm all its own. Quathiaski Cove on Quadra Island is everything you imagine an island harbour in B.C. should be: misty, fringed with trees, with steep cliffs sweeping down to a shoreline where logs bump gently in the waves. The 10-minute ferry ride across from Campbell River takes visitors to the pristine lakes and hiking trails around Quadra.
VISIT: For a chance to rub shoulders with the locals, visit the Heriot Bay Inn on a Saturday night when host Mo Davenport and a talented roster of local musicians get everyone up on the tiny dance floor. On Thursday nights, the U of Q features guest speakers on topics ranging from pyrotechnics to cranial sacral therapy. www.heriotbayinn.com
FISH: If salmon fishing is on your to-do list, there are chartered fishing boat operators near the cove ready to take you out into the spectacular scenery that surrounds Quadra Island. Orcas, seabirds and wildlife abound in Discovery Passage and if you don't catch anything, there's still that guy on the dock. http://www.quadraisland.ca/adventure-recreation-tours/fishing.html

I will be running a 4e adventure tomorrow night. The adventure will take place in Fallcrest. One of the main sites will be a Raven Queen temple in the city. I need to put together a map of the location, but I would love to simply use one that someone has already created. Are there any sites that have good canned maps for a temple or other locations? For example, I may also need a tavern as well.
While I'm running 4e, maps for any fantasy setting or system should be fine as long as they have a square grid (as opposed to a hex grid or no grid).

Adding a new primitive type to make simple extruded shapes. You draw the outline, and optional depth and bevel size curves.
The holes are made by the mirror a "3" to make an "8" trick.
This is a precursor to the Blob primitive, where the curve gets turned into a freeform rounded shape - much like "Image Inflate" does, but easier to access and edit within Curvy.

Two female soldiers are suing the U.S. military for banning them (and all women) from front-line combat positions, an act which they say violates their right to equal protection under the Fifth Amendment — and affects their salaries, promotion and advancement, and future retirement benefits.
The Pentagon said it would open 14,000 more positions for women in February, but none of those positions are in infantry, armor or special-operations units in which the main job is front-line combat. Given that women make up about 14.5 percent of active-duty military personnel — not that small a portion! — and more than 800 female soldiers have been wounded and more than 130 killed in fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, it seems grossly unfair to tell them what they are and aren't capable of achieving. "The linear battlefield no longer exists," said Command Sergeant Major Jane Baldwin and Colonel Ellen Haring, the Army reservists who filed the suit.
Although the Defense Department's spokesperson wouldn't comment on the lawsuit, the Army's Chief of Staff, General Raymond Odierno, said the Army might make infantry and army positions unisex and " was considering letting women attend its elite Ranger School." Ooh, how big of them! We hope they don't distract the men by prancing around in short skirts and passing notes in class.
It'll be interesting to see how much pressure it takes to convince the Pentagon that women should be given equal responsibility — and therefore benefit from the same honors, financial and otherwise — on the battlefield.

SSH.COM is one of the most trusted brands in cyber security. We help enterprises and agencies solve the security challenges of digital transformation with innovative access management solutions.
Tectia client tools for z/OS includes a tool to resolve which hashed host key belongs to which server. As there can be several server host keys stored on the client-side host, and the file name does not show the server name, it is sometimes necessary to check if a certain server public key is stored on the client host.
On the command line, the command syntax is:
ssh-keygen-g3 -F
For example:
ssh-keygen-g3 -F examplehost#222
host_name can be the fully qualified domain name, short
host name, or the IP address of the remote host. The
definition is optional in the command. If no port is given, the default Secure Shell port 22
is assumed.
The tool shows the location, fingerprint (in the SSH babble format) and type (RSA, DSA or ECDSA) of the requested host's public key or keys. For example:
ssh-keygen-g3 -F examplehost Fingerprint for key 'examplehost': (from location /home/user44/.ssh2/hostkeys/keys_bf53882dc47bb767edf161a4f636917f8358d635) xuvin-zitil-ducid-gevil-vysok-buviz-nynun-pinat-tylev-gusez-dyxix (RSA)
If no keys are found for the given server, the ssh-keygen-g3
-F command will report where it looked for the keys, and will conclude as
/ No keys found from any key directories or known_hosts files.
You can define several file locations to be checked for host keys. For more information,
see Using the OpenSSH
known_hosts File.

Washington, D.C The U.S,. Senate passed (June 27,2008), by unanimous consent, legislation that will allow the U.S. to join an international treaty that could dramatically cut ocean ship pollution that causes tens of thousands of global deaths annually. "The Marine Pollution Prevention Act of 2008" (H.R. 802), was passed overwhelmingly by the U.S. House of Representatives last year.
"This action could be a sea change that ultimately helps steer us to cleaner, healthier air for the millions of Americans harmed by toxic air pollution from U.S. and foreign-flagged ships," said Janea Scott, a senior attorney for Environmental Defense Fund based in Los Angeles. "This action will help our country secure protective international standards for large ocean-going ships. We urge our government to immediately complete the critical process of ratifying the MARPOL treaty."
Annex VI of the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, commonly known as "MARPOL," is an international treaty that governs air pollution from large ocean-going ships.
Large ocean-going ships are a major source of soot, sulfur dioxide and smog-forming pollution that are associated with premature deaths, hospital visits, and asthma attacks that exact a heavy toll on human health for millions of Americans. About ninety percent of the ships that dock at U.S. ports are foreign-flagged international vessels.
Shipping-related soot emissions contribute to approximately 60,000 global deaths annually, with impacts concentrated in coastal regions on major trade routes.
The U.S. government has proposed protective measures for international adoption as part of the MARPOL treaty that would achieve vital progress in reducing the high emissions from these ships. This clean air blueprint will be considered at a key meeting of the International Maritime Organization in October.

PHILADELPHIA - In recent months a spate of mutations have been found in a disease protein called TDP-43 that is implicated in two neurodegenerative disorders: amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also called Lou Gehrig's disease, and certain types of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). These mutations could potentially become candidates for drug targets.
Recently, colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and Veterans Affairs in Seattle, WA have found two more mutations. They published their findings online in advance of print publication in the May issue of The Lancet Neurology.
"Now we have a direct link between the genetics and the clinical pathology of these diseases," says co-author Vivianna M. Van Deerlin, MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at Penn. "This solves the question of whether TDP-43 is involved in the disease itself or a just a byproduct of it."
"Put this all together and it becomes completely convincing that there are mutations in this gene that causes some forms of ALS," says co-author Gerard D. Schellenberg, PhD, Associate Director for Research, Veterans Affairs Puget Sound Health Care System, in Seattle, WA
Essentially, these mutations are hard evidence that TDP-43 is critical for the disease process. In some cases the accumulation of TDP-43 may initiate disease; in others, it might be a downstream player in the onset of pathology.
In late 2006, Virginia Lee, PhD and John Trojanowski, MD, PhD at the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research at Penn found that TDP-43 accumulated abnormally in post-mortem brain tissue from individuals diagnosed with either disease. The misfolded, disease protein was recovered from only affected central nervous system regions, which include the hippocampus, neocortex, and spinal cord. TDP-43 is normally involved in RNA and DNA processing, among other cellular tasks.
The research team surveyed 259 individuals with either ALS or ALS combined with FTD and brains with pathological TDP-43 protein present and determined the DNA sequence of the gene for TDP-43 and compared it to the normal TDP-43 sequence in people without these diseases.
"By doing this, we found two families in which a mutation was present and showed that the mutated gene tracked with the disease," says Van Deerlin. "Within the same family, all people tested who have the disease carry the mutated form of TDP-43 and it was absent in the unaffected people tested."
With this, the research group then asked: Do we see this same change in people that don't have the disease outside of the families as controls? The group tested 747 Caucasian and 380 Chinese elderly people without the disease and didn't find the mutated form of TDP-43 in any of them.
"What makes our paper completely distinctive is that we have post-mortem brain tissue from some individuals in one of the ALS families," says Schellenberg. "We showed that people with a mutated form of TDP-43 actually have TDP-43 deposited in their brain."
The researchers stress the implications beyond ALS and FTD: TDP-43 shows up in a variety of diseases, for example 20 percent of Alzheimer's cases. "These findings are not just important to ALS, it's every disease where there is a pathological form of TDP-43," notes Schellenberg. The next step will be to gain a better understanding of how the mutation in TDP-43 causes disease.
This work was funded by the National Institutes of Health (AG10124, AG17586, AG005136-22, PO1 AG14382), the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Friedrich-Baur Stiftung (0017/2007), the US Public Health Service, the ALS Association, and a fellowship from Fundació 'la Caixa', Spain.
