From a young girl's strange discovery in the North Carolina clay we embark on a journey that is both magical and universal. In what is at its heart a love story, but also the story of a family dealing with loss and change, first time author Rhonda Riley explores the sensuality of the earth, the mysteries of the body, and the power of rebirth. Touching on themes of gender, self-image, and mortality, this is a captivating tale told in simple yet elegant prose. - Tony

Goodell had suspended Smith for four games after finding he gave money to the program. But Tagliabue said Smith was being singled out unfairly because he was a team captain.
"On the present record, selective prosecution of allegations of misconduct and enforcement of discipline relative to Smith cannot be sustained," Tagliabue wrote. "Whatever the reason for such selective enforcement, it does not satisfy basic requirements for consistent treatment of player employees similarly situated."
Goodell had found that Vilma offered a bounty to any Saints player who could knock Favre out of the 2010 championship game and suspended him for the entire 2012 season.
But Tagliabue nixed that suspension, too, saying it was not clear that any such pledges were made seriously.
"Was it inspirational only?" he asked. "Was it typical 'trash talk' that occurs regularly before games? The parties presented no clear answers."
Tagliabue wrote reducing the suspensions to fines could be justified in the cases of Hargrove, Smith and Vilma.
"However ... this entire case has been contaminated by the coaches and others in the Saints' organization," he wrote.
After the order was released, Saints quarterback Drew Brees took to Twitter: "Congratulations to our players for having the suspensions vacated. Unfortunately, there are some things that can never be taken back," he wrote.
In a statement, the NFL noted that the matter had been reviewed by Goodell, two collective bargaining agreement grievance arbitrators, the Collective Bargaining Appeals Panel and now Tagliabue.
"The decisions have made clear that the Saints operated a bounty program in violation of league rules for three years, that the program endangered player safety, and that the commissioner has the authority under the CBA to impose discipline for those actions as conduct detrimental to the league," the league said.

Nigeria is in a sorry state. The government steals from people it swore to serve. Boko Haram kills innocent people with man-made bombs in the name of a god that is supposed to be kind, merciful and mighty. Citizens steal from their brothers at the point of death, they take the belongings of the helpless, cut down by Boko Haram bombs when these vulnerable, dying individuals need a helping hand. The police steal from those they are paid to protect and those who ask questions get a measure of their errant bullets. Another set of Nigerians are dead cause we have wrong headed persons in sensitive positions. How many more Nigerians will have to die before these people know it is their responsibility to protect us? How many more Nigerians have to die before our government take the issue of our protection serious? How many Nigerians needs to be cut off in their prime before our leaders will give this issue the top priority and maximum urgency it required? We were told boko haram will fizzle away. When will they fizzle away, after we have all being killed. Is this part of the transformation agenda of the president? GOD will certainly visit all those that have contributed in one way or the other in making Nigeria country a nation of bombs. I have a suggestion, Babangida, Buhari, Obasanjo, Gowon, Abdusallami should be invited by GEJ to demonstrate their patriotism by helping in mapping out a strategy om how Nigeria could be secured from enemies within. These men know very well how to deploy the armed forces in order to checkmate this menace. It is their civic duty to contribute in the security of the country. This is not to downplay the effort of the NSA but a necessary supplement.

My God, why is Nigeria under this heavy curse? When will this country see peace again? Once they have bombed and destroyed the entire country what else will be left for these animals to do? They just want to leave a destroyed nation to our children? I live in another country, but there is no place like home! How can I return if there is no peace? I'm not happy where I am because this is the white man's land (see what happened to Travon Martin), but at least I'm not exposed to the daily bombing that are occurring in Nigeria!
- April 26, 2012 at 12:18 PM
For goodness sake, what exactly is going on? Why all these evils? May God protect us all from all these evil people and may we not walk into death traps. I can't imagine someone who just went there for something else and walked straight into that.

WOW! Now I pay my DSTV, PHCN and Taxes directly from my ATM card. Dis ATM card is beginning to get so critical to my survival. Now dey are merging all cards into 1 super card dat is multipurpose and will serve as an ID card. They r generatin Social security # for all men worldwide. Ur fingerprints and pictures are in the systems( SIM registration, Intn'l Passport, Embassy) Yu can be tracked easily now! If the antichrist hold my cash and force me to insert the silicon part of my ATM card in my skin. I will say no,cos I knw its d mark of the beast! 666. Then d bible is true when it says. "Those dat did nt receive d mark of d beast were unable to buy or sell and life was pretty hard for them". Wit d cashless society everywhere d Antichrist is getting ready for his infamous reign of terror in the world... Hmnn... If we are dis close to the appocalyse then how close are we to the 2nd coming of our Lord Jesus. Friends be prepared! Dnt say dis is religion. Get some education on this and save ur own soul. The vigour and ease wit which these ATM,cashless, Tax, things happen show they r being controlled by much higher powers under the guise of technology. The bible will always end by.sayin "he who has ears,let him hear what the spirit says". †ђξ Stage ȋ̝̊̅§ Set, Prepare urself & win A̶̲̥̅̊ Soul today.

OH no! sorry to hear its where you worked. Are all your colleagues okay? this is beyond scary now. I thot Abuja was supposed to be our very own little yankee in naija. Now we cant even go there anymore. I had planned to stop by there on my trip to naija this summer now I am not even going to go anywhere near there! Why are these evil people trying to make that place unbearable for us its citizens? why will they be so driven by the devil to wreck havoc and be so destructive. The devil is truly powerful but cannot save. I wish they knew that - April 26, 2012 at 2:41 PM

Yet another bomb blast again.
Sad,really unfortunate.
The trend is fast spreading.First it was churches,then football watching arenas now media houses?
I really don't know what to say.I am tired,really tired of commenting on this same issue over and over again.
Keep safe fellow Nigerians
Don't know what else to tell you all.
Eternal rest Lord grant to all those who have lost their lives in this madness. - April 26, 2012 at 3:00 PM

People should stop blaming Johnathan for these bombings abeg! Wat will you do if you were in his shoes? The man is clueless (just like most of us are)as regards a solution to the menace. For instance we all know wat Boko Haram want yet we go on to ask "wat do they want?" as if we dont know. They want power - The presidency, simple. El-Rufai should be arrested again and quizzed thoroughly probably tortured,for rushing quickly to the scene of the incident to make unguarded comments condeming the Govt and accusing it of not doing anytin about Boko Haram bomb menace. A man of his standing should know better, his comments did not help the situation at hand in anyway.

At this stage these motherfuckers that we call leaders should find ways to avoid the continuous bombings. Why aren't the bombers attacking the right people?

@Atobale at April 26, 2012 12:10 PM- well, Nigerians steal from each other too and are dishonest in their dealings with each other. In my dealings with Nigerians, I have been cheated several times and I can tell you that Nigerians are stealing big time in London, claiming benefits they are not entitled to, working with papers in other people's name, doing all sort of fraudulent deals, encouraging our daughters to become prostitutes in Italy and in Nigeria where they have no qualms about sleeping married rich men in the name of money and bringing up monsters to terrorise British society. But instead, people like you prefer to look at the government and blame all the country's ills on the govt- we Nigerians too have to take responsibility for our own actions too.

You do know that if the government wasn't busy stealing money rather than invEsting in productive ventures, this would not be the case, cos many would be gainfully employed, and basic amenities for the survival of the masses will be in place. Many have grown to love and engage in crimes because of the hardship the leaders have imposed on the masses with their greed. If past leaders of the 60's and 70's were as greedy as the present ones, the country would have gone under by now.

Things will get worse if we still blv grammar can do this. We need 2 call 4 a SNC, but d criteria of those who will be representing each community shld be strictly by their past contributions towards nation building. A movement is coming up, there will be an awakening, y'all remember ow occupy naija protest shook d country, its just a start!!!
Until d youths in dis country find a better way 2 move this country 4ward rather than go into prostitution, yahooze, stealing and all sorts of anti-social vices then we can all merge togeda under an umbrella and call 4 a revolution! This era of capitalism must come to an end. Few pple enjoying d wealth of a nation. Over 100million Nigerians live on less than $2 a day even wit all d abundance of natural resources.

Not all will be used in it because some are now rather dated and we want the publication to excite readers with its brilliance. Names you might know that are in it are in random order:
Rebecca Latyntseva, Ian Whates, Rosie Oliver, Robert Harkess, William C McCall, Clyde Andrews, Gayle Applegate, David Tallerman, Brian Koscienski and Chris Pisano, Mark Lewis, Gareth D Jones, Joshua Blanc, Gavin J Carr, David Wallace Fleming, Karl Bunker, Sheila Crosby, Ben Bamber, Branden Johnson, Barbara Krasnoff, Ian Smith, Tina M Crone, Bec Zugor, Barry Pomeroy, Lawrence Buentello, Richard Jay Goldstein, Paul Freeman, Adam Colston, Kaolin Fire, Derek Rutherford, and a couple of stories from me and Robert Blevins. Hopefully, we can squeeze in a cartoon by Roberta Gregory too.
We have March 17th as a release date. That may be optimistic but best to have goals. The stories range from edgy noir near future, to struggling on a space rock, weird stuff in future in-ear audio devices to how can a child-bride save herself, both from a violent husband and the psychiatrist. I am exuberant over this anthology. It's taken a lot of time and work – the nearest an editor gets to giving birth – in a literary sense!

Torchwood Loop Provides Multiple Layers of Musical Therapy
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Happy Chichester will release his third solo album, Torchwood Loop, on March 12. It was recorded at his rehearsal space in Old North Columbus and released on his label, PopFly Music.
Named after the Columbus street on which Happy grew up, Torchwood Loop weaves elements of electronic, pop, folk, Latin, rock, R&B, and classical music, as well as video games, field recordings, and Muzak. Its 12 eclectic tracks conjure a mind-body experience through patchworks of modern sounds, incorporating live drumming as well as programmed beats and live looping. His songwriting process for this album began with drum practices, and he beatboxed or drummed on the tracks using instruments from thrift stores, yard sales, and trash bins.
"In this world of media addictions and toxic political news, music is therapy," said Happy. "Playing drums helps me meditate and feel clean again."
"Motorbike," the album's first radio single, was inspired by a recurring dream the composer had when trying to find footing in the music business. Violinists Christian Howes and Christopher Marion lent orchestral strings on "Symphony Of Pain" and "Thrill Of War." "Sexy Girl" was recorded live at the Hot Times Festival in Columbus.
Happy contracted Bell's Palsy last year, which delayed Torchwood Loop's release from September of 2012 to March of this year. He deals with neuropathy in his facial muscles and wears an eyepatch to protect his cornea, but feels well enough to tour again.
"The thing about getting sick was that it slowed everything down," Happy said. "It gave me time to work on releasing this album. I've been in hiding with a paralyzed face for the past six months and am excited to get out and rock again."
National tour dates to follow throughout 2013. CD's and downloads of Torchwood Loop are available beginning March 12 at happychichester.com and at select independent record stores.
About Happy Chichester
Happy Chichester is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist from Columbus, Ohio who has recorded and performed with Royal Crescent Mob, Howlin' Maggie, Twilight Singers, Afghan Whigs, RJD2, New Bomb Turks, Foley, and Umar Bin Hassan.
In addition to his solo work, he currently tours with Seattle band Brad, which includes Shawn Smith (Satchel) and Stone Gossard (Pearl Jam).

Best of Playstation Network Vol. 1 outed by ESRB
The ESRB has rated a PlayStation 3 title called Best of Playstation Network Vol. 1. The description notes that the retail release includes four games – Fat Princess, Tokyo Jungle, Sound Shapes and When Vikings Attack. We have no information of date, price, regional availability, whether Vita cross-play will be enabled, or if more volumes are forthcoming; stay tuned for a proper announce from SCEA. Xbox Live Arcade has produced similar offerings, including Xbox Live Arcade Unplugged.

ESRB allowing trailers for M-rated games to skip the age gate
According to a report on Giant Bomb, the Entertainment Software Ratings Board, kingpin of North American age ratings on games, is relaxing some of their rules a little bit this week. The highlight is that they will no longer require that all video marketing materials for M-rated games be hidden behind an age gate.

Gearbox believes NRA should be advocating gun laws instead of pointing fingers at games
Violence in video games is a hot button issue in some circles, with pundit going as far as to blame gun violence on crimes committed around the world, and most recently in the US. One of the most vocal accusers of late, is the EVP of the National Rifle Association, Wayne LaPierre, who in the wake of the school shooting in Connecticut called the video game industry a "callous, corrupt, and corrupting shadow industry that sells and sows violence against own people, through vicious violent video games." His opinion, is not one which Gearbox president Randy Pitchford shares.

ESRB: content ratings help protect creative freedom
ESRB president Patricia Vance has said the rating body isn't so much a censor as a guardian of creative freedom in games.

Persona 2: Eternal Punishment rated for PS3, PSP
The ESRB has added a PlayStation 3 and PSP rating for Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, suggesting the long-awaited RPG is headed to the west at last. Persona 2 released as two interrelated titles for PSOne, Eternal Punishment and Innocent Sin; only Eternal Punishment was localised at the time. A PSP port of Innocent Sin finally made it west in 2011 and is available via the PlayStation Network. Eternal Punishment's PSP port arrived in Japan in May 2012 and looks to be joining its brethren.
Thanks, GameInformer.

Castlevania Virtual Console release tipped by ESRB
Castlevania has turned up on the ESRB's catalogue as a 3DS and Wii title, suggesting a Virtual Console release is on the cards. It's not clear whether the title refers to the 1986 action platformer that started it all, or the 1999 N6$ game, although given the destination platforms the former seems more likely. A new 3DS game, Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate, is due in early March.
Thanks, GoNintendo.

US politician pushes for ESRB rating requirement
Utah representative Jim Matheson has introduced a bill which would enforce ESRB ratings, making it illegal to sell a game without a classification stamp. If successful, the bill would bring the US in line with Australia and the UK, where classification is required for commercially released games. GamesRadar reports the bill is unclear on how it would apply to small developers and indies selling games online; the ratings requirement doesn't extend to the App Store in Australia, for example. Happily, ESRB ratings for smaller titles are free and can be obtained quickly.

GTA: Vice City and San Andreas rated for PS3 release
The ESRB has rated both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for release on PlayStation 3. A PS2 Classic release seems quite likely, as Grand Theft Auto III arrived on the PlayStation Network in late July and was well received; additionally, Vice City is headed to mobile platforms to celebrate its anniversary, so Rockstar is clearly keen to continue leveraging its best-selling classics. We've asked for details.
Thanks, Gematsu.

ESRB introduces free, automated ratings system for downloadable titles
The Entertainment Software Ratings Board has brought its Digital Rating Service online. The system allows developers of downloadable games to have their content instantly assessed by means of a questionnaire, at no cost. This is great news for small and indie developers wanting the professionalism of an ESRB rating on their product, but also for consumers and caregivers wanting guidance as to what apps are appropriate for various age groups. The new system has been in the works since early last year.
Thanks, GamesIndustry.

Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 to release on Wii U according to ESRB
Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2 will release on Wii U, if a listing on the ESRB website is any indication. The CryEngine 3 developed game is set for a January release on PC, PS3, and Xbox 360 already, and was originally slated for release in October. We'll send Namco a mail and ask for more details.

ESRB ratings suggest GTA III, Vice City headed to PSN
As spotted by PSNStores, the ESRB has re-rated Grand Theft Auto III and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. Both titles are listed with PlayStation 3 as platform and Sony Computer Entertainment America as publisher, suggesting a PlayStation Network release. The lack of a double pack listing suggests we're probably looking at PS2 Classics re-releases rather than HD makeovers. I've sent Rockstar a gleeful fangirl email so fingers crossed for an official update soon.

NightSky rated by ESRB for eShop, Aussie rating pending
Nicalis has announced via Twitter that NightSky has been rated by the ESRB. The action-physics puzzler was released earlier this year by the developer on PC so fans could finally get their hands on the game while the console version was being sorted. Currently, the rating for Australia and New Zealand is pending. Hopefully, once Nintendo approves, it will be released through the 3Shop soon. The firm will be showing the eShop version of the game as well as Cave Story at E3 next week. Thanks, NintendoLife.

Spec Ops: The Line given an "M" rating by ESRB for obvious reasons
The ESRB has rated Spec Ops: The Line M for Mature in the US, which is not really shocking, unless a shooter about Spec Ops missions wasn't a large enough clue for some of us out there. However, apparently, you'll be able to do more than just shoot people in the face in this game, thus the reason it has "The Line" as a subtitle.

CTIA-The Wireless Association and the ESRB have announced a newly-developed rating system for mobile game titles, utilizing the same age rating icons assigned to computer and console games.

The neighbor that refuses to mow his lawn more than once per month. Did you see that lawn down the street? It must be a foot tall. What a grasshole !!
1. | grasshole | ||
1. A cheap, stingy, mooching pothead. 2. A marijuana smoker who will gladly smoke other people's buds when available but suddenly is not in the mood to smoke (share) when he or she is the only one who has any. 3. That guy who calls you up to hang out only after you just acquired some happy greens but does not call you on the rare occasion when he has some because he is a cheap fucktooth who would not even pay for his own toilet paper. Q: Hey, where's Ry-guy at?
A: Oh, I didn't call him. I smoked that cheap fartmunchkin every Tuesday for the last two months. He hasn't returned the favor ever. He's a typical grasshole. I just found out he bought a whole ounce of kind two weeks ago and didn't offer me any. |
3. | Grasshole | ||
A type of male (or female if her testosterone level is high enough) that pleasures in douchebaggery and being a dick. It is a pronoun for the word "asshole" that you can use in public without fear of an elderly woman overhearing you and going into cardiac arrest. Though the word stems from the lesser known Bruchenian dialect, grassholes now exist in every crevice of society. Even celebrities and presidents are douchebags these days, and the term "grasshole" provides the larger public a politically correct way of calling someone a fucktard. Kanye West: Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but Beyonce had the best music video of all time.
Taylor Swift: (stands on stage, shocked) Audience at home: Day-um. Kanye is a grasshole! |
4. | grasshole | ||
noun. A person whose obsessive yardcare causes feelings of superiority, leading to aggressiveness and irritability.
The grasshole works tirelessly to achieve a perfect, green, debris free lawn area. Anyone whose yard has a lesser appearance, is inferior. Grassholes are very territorial and become highly agitated when humans or animals trespass in the yard area. Yards maintained by grassholes frequently contain enough chemical residue to kill a small animal on contact. a. As the little dog cavorted across the perfectly manicured lawn, the angry woman burst red-faced out her door, screaming and cursing. "What a grasshole," thought an observer.
b. A person who runs their noisy lawnmower, weedwhacker, trimmer and/or leafblower for more than 2 consecutive hours on more than 3 consecutive weekends is a grasshole. |
5. | grasshole | ||
when there is hair encompassing your asshole. guy 1: eww i just stuck my penis in her asshole

6. | grasshole | ||
Person who doesn't participate in eco-friendly living. They chuck their recyclables, leave their lights on, grab a handful of plastic bags, drive their rumbling hummers through flocks of majestic birds and refuse to join the grassroots movement. girl in front of me at Safeway triple-bagged her box of serial, what a #grasshole
7. | Grasshole | ||
A person who talks too much about their backyard. Please stop being such a grasshole.

Such transformations are related with q-deformations of the dilations of the Euclidean space and with the non-commutative space. We work out two examples of Hamiltonian invariance under such symmetries. The Schrodinger equation for a free particle is investigated in such a non-commutative plane and a connection with anyonic statistics is found. PACS: 03.65.Fd, 11.30.Er
- Pion and thermal photon spectra as a possible signal for a phase transition (2005)
- We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model, recent data for S + Au at 200 AGeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed. Results for Au+Au at 11 AGeV and Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV are also presented.
- Antibaryons bound in nuclei (2004)
- We study the possibility of producing a new kind of nuclear systems which in addition to ordinary nucleons contain a few antibaryons (B = p, , etc.). The properties of such systems are described within the relativistic mean field model by employing G parity transformed interactions for antibaryons. Calculations are first done for infinite systems and then for finite nuclei from 4He to 208Pb. It is demonstrated that the presence of a real antibaryon leads to a strong rearrangement of a target nucleus resulting in a significant increase of its binding energy and local compression. Noticeable e ects remain even after the antibaryon coupling constants are reduced by factor 3 4 compared to G parity motivated values. We have performed detailed calculations of the antibaryon annihilation rates in the nuclear environment by applying a kinetic approach. It is shown that due to significant reduction of the reaction Q values, the in medium annihilation rates should be strongly suppressed leading to relatively long lived antibaryon nucleus systems. Multi nucleon annihilation channels are analyzed too. We have also estimated formation probabilities of bound B + A systems in pA reactions and have found that their observation will be feasible at the future GSI antiproton facility. Several observable signatures are proposed. The possibility of producing multi quark antiquark clusters is discussed. PACS numbers: 25.43.+t, 21.10.-k, 21.30.Fe, 21.80.+a
- Effect of isovector-scalar meson on neutron star matter in strong magnetic fields (2005)
- We study the effects of isovector-scalar meson delta on the equation of state (EOS) of neutron star matter in strong magnetic fields. The EOS of neutron-star matter and nucleon effective masses are calculated in the framework of Lagrangian field theory, which is solved within the mean-field approximation. From the numerical results one can find that the delta-field leads to a remarkable splitting of proton and neutron effective masses. The strength of delta-field decreases with the increasing of the magnetic field and is little at ultrastrong field. The proton effective mass is highly influenced by magnetic fields, while the effect of magnetic fields on the neutron effective mass is negligible. The EOS turns out to be stiffer at B < 10^15G but becomes softer at stronger magnetic field after including the delta-field. The AMM terms can affect the system merely at ultrastrong magnetic field(B > 10^19G). In the range of 10^15 G - 10^18 G the properties of neutron-star matter are found to be similar with those without magnetic fields.
- Analytical relationship for the cranking inertia (2004)
- The wave function of a spheroidal harmonic oscillator without spin-orbit interaction is expressed in terms of associated Laguerre and Hermite polynomials. The pairing gap and Fermi energy are found by solving the BCS system of two equations. Analytical relationships for the matrix elements of inertia are obtained function of the main quantum numbers and potential derivative. They may be used to test complex computer codes one should develop in a realistic approach of the fission dynamics. The results given for the 240 Pu nucleus are compared with a hydrodynamical model. The importance of taking into account the correction term due to the variation of the occupation number is stressed.
- Potential energy surfaces for cluster emitting nuclei (2005)
- Potential energy surfaces are calculated by using the most advanced asymmetric two-center shell model allowing to obtain shell and pairing corrections which are added to the Yukawa-plus-exponential model deformation energy. Shell effects are of crucial importance for experimental observation of spontaneous disintegration by heavy ion emission. Results for 222Ra, 232U, 236Pu and 242Cm illustrate the main ideas and show for the first time for a cluster emitter a potential barrier obtained by using the macroscopic-microscopic method.
- Complex fission phenomena (2004)
- Complex fission phenomena are studied in a unified way. Very general reflection asymmetrical equilibrium (saddle point) nuclear shapes are obtained by solving an integro-differential equation without being necessary to specify a certain parametrization. The mass asymmetry in binary cold fission of Th and U isotopes is explained as the result of adding a phenomenological shell correction to the liquid drop model deformation energy. Applications to binary, ternary, and quaternary fission are outlined.
- Critical line of the deconfinement phase transition (2005)
- Phase diagram of strongly interacting matter is discussed within the exactly solvable statistical model of the quark-gluon bags. The model predicts two phases of matter: the hadron gas at a low temperature T and baryonic chemical potential muB, and the quark-gluon gas at a high T and/or muB. The nature of the phase transition depends on a form of the bag mass-volume spectrum (its pre-exponential factor), which is expected to change with the muB/T ratio. It is therefore likely that the line of the 1st} order transition at a high muB/T ratio is followed by the line of the 2nd order phase transition at an intermediate muB/T, and then by the lines of "higher order transitions" at a low muB/T.

Kansas House Defeats Immigrant Tuition Repeal
Associated Press - Thu 04:02 PM 05/10/2012
The law permits illegal immigrants who meet certain rules, such as graduating from a Kansas high school, to pay the lower tuition Kansas charges to residents of the state. The Kansas Board of Regents says about 500 students participate in the program.
The Kansas House has rejected an effort to repeal a 2004 law allowing some illegal immigrants to pay in-state tuition at public colleges and universities.
The law permits illegal immigrants who meet certain rules, such as graduating from a Kansas high school, to pay the lower tuition Kansas charges to residents of the state. The Kansas Board of Regents says about 500 students participate in the program.
House members defeated a proposed repeal Thursday on an unrecorded 68-32 vote during debate on a broader education bill.
Those favoring repeal said the tuition program rewards illegal immigrants and serves to attract others to Kansas.
But other House members said the students who benefit from the program are working toward citizenship and bettering their lives.

All Mexicans aren't illegal, all white people aren't legal citizens and having no respect for an entire race isn't even remotely American.

ronnie when there are 75 illegals to 1 legal in our country racism is not a part of the equation. The legal mexicans should be up in arms helping get rid of the illegals but they are doing very little to help the situation. Ksal has alway's protected the illegals for what reason I do not know unless they have a bunch working for them somewhere. I believe the lawmakers themselves have broken the law by letting law breakers use public monies for education. Someone should look into this and take legal action against them as well.

@get a life, the best estimate of illegal immigrants is at about 11 million right now. The census tells us that we have 38 million legal immigrants right now. Where are you getting 75 to one with illegal being the larger number? Just so I am clear, if you feel like one race is generally one way, you will pigeon hold that entire race and claim them all as one way? Wow.

Protein expression from plasmid DNA transfected into cultured cells is a powerful tool to study protein function and monitor intracellular events. Optimal protein expression and cell viability require optimizing transfection conditions. We discuss how to optimize transfection conditions using FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent and the factors that are most likely to influence success.
Trista Schagat and Kevin Kopish
Optimal DNA delivery into mammalian cells depends on many factors and is cell-specific. General or published conditions can be used as a guide, but for best results we recommend optimizing transfection conditions for all cultured cells. Here we use FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent to illustrate the keys to successful transfections, as well as the variables that should be tested when first optimizing transfection conditions. Optimization is not just about getting your cells to take up as much DNA as possible, then express as much protein as possible. It is about finding the optimal balance between maximal protein expression and minimal impact on cell viability. Through optimization, you can gain a solid understanding of the ranges in which you can expect the best possible outcome from your transfected cells.
A number of factors will contribute to transfection success as well as the biological response of your transfected cells. Consider each of the following carefully.
Cell health: Cells should be actively dividing, passaged regularly in fresh growth medium and not allowed to become overconfluent prior to or at the time of transfection. Ideally, cells will be 75–90% confluent and greater than 95% viable (e.g., by trypan blue exclusion) at the point of harvest for transfection plating, and typically 80% confluent on the day of transfection using the FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent. Passage number should be monitored because the cell's biological responsiveness can be unreliable at very low or high passage numbers.
DNA quality: Plasmid DNA used for transfections should be of high purity (A260/A280 of 1.7–1.9) with low endotoxin levels to avoid unintended cellular responses such as cytotoxicity or proinflammatory cytokine production. Preparation of plasmid DNA using a method qualified to produce transfection-grade DNA (e.g., PureYield™ Plasmid Purification Systems) will help you avoid these issues.
Transfection method: Methods include calcium phosphate-, lipid-, and electricity-mediated approaches. Lipid-based reagents are most popular, tend to give the lowest toxicity and have been used to transfect a wide range of cell lines. These methods do not require specialized equipment, and newer reagents involve a single addition of DNA:lipid complexes to cells with no subsequent medium change. However, not all reagents work to the same degree (Figure 1). Even under optimal conditions, the maximum protein expression and cell viability achieved can vary greatly. The optimum transfection technology is one that yields the highest possible protein expression with little to no discernable effect on cell health.
HEK293 cells were transiently transfected with psiCHECK™-2 Vector (Cat.# C8021), which expresses luciferase driven by the constitutive SV40 promoter. Three different lipid-based transfection reagents (A, B, and FuGENE® HD) were optimized according to the manufacturers' instructions. Cell viability (as measured using the CellTiter-Fluor™ Viability Assay; Cat.# G6080) and reporter activity (as measured using the ONE-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System; Cat.# E6110) then were assayed using the GloMax®-Multi Detection System Instrument (Cat.# E7031). Data were generated using optimal conditions for each reagent(conditions that gave the highest reporter activity with relatively minor loss in viability). Data are the average of replicate samples ± SEM. For each optimization, a minimum of 3 lipid reagent:DNA ratios and 2 cell densities were tested.
Simplicity: When first optimizing transfection conditions, keep things simple. Choose a reporter that is easy to assay so that you can test a range of conditions quickly with minimal potential complications or variability due to complex assay methods. Once you determine the optimal conditions for your cell line of interest, these conditions can be applied to all of your transfections. If you use a different cell line, you will need to optimize again.
Another recommendation to keep it simple is the plate format. 96-well plates are routinely used because multiple variables and replicates can be tested in a single experiment in a single plate. Small volumes minimize the use of medium and compounds, and sensitive assays are available to detect single or multiple reporters and biological markers in a single well(1) (2) . Once conditions are optimized for your cell type, they can be scaled to other well or flask sizes as needed for larger scale protein production or imaging.
Optimal transfection conditions for your cell line should be determined empirically. These conditions will be the foundation for many future experiments and data, so it is worthwhile to spend time up front to learn how to get the most from your cells. Optimal conditions will be those conditions that give you the highest reporter activity with minimal impact on cell health.
The FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent is lipid-based, simple-to-use and can yield high transfection efficiencies with minimal cyototoxicity. An example showing optimization of transfection conditions for the FuGENE® HD Reagent in a 96-well plate is shown in Figure 2. Test variables include the ratio of reagent to DNA and volume of transfection mix added. The FuGENE® HD volume-to-DNA mass ratio (µl/µg) determines the charge of the mix added to the cells (the negatively charged DNA must be balanced by the cationic lipid of the reagent), and the volume of this mixture determines how much DNA is administered. More is not necessarily better; more may lead to reduced protein expression and negatively impact cell health (Figure 3). Typical ratios are between 1.5:1 and 4:1 with addition of 2–10µl per well. In this experiment, optimal conditions for HEK-293 transfection were 5µl of a 2.5:1 mix.
Panel A. 96-well plate layout to determine optimal transfection conditions with the FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent. DNA, FuGENE® HD and medium were used to prepare 100µl transfection mixes at the indicated reagent:DNA ratios in a separate 96-well plate. After a 15-minute incubation at room temperature, a multichannel pipette was used to add the transfection mix to each well of the transfection plate. The outer wells of the plate contained 100µl/well of medium only. All other wells contained 100µl/well of cells in growth medium. Column 2: Control cells were exposed to: 10µl of medium, 10µl of DNA (20ng/µl in medium), or 10µl of FuGENE® HD Reagent (from a mix of 100µl of medium + 8µl of FuGENE® HD Reagent). Columns 3–11: The indicated volume of transfection mix with the indicated ratio of FuGENE® HD Reagent to DNA was added to the cells. Panel B. Schematic of the optimization experiment. Day 1, plate is seeded with 100µl of medium or healthy cells (harvested from a ~75–90% confluent flask). Day 2, the appropriate controls are assembled and DNA:FuGENE® HD Reagent transfection mixes are added to cells as indicated in Panel A. Day 3 or 4, cell viability and reporter activity are assayed.
Optimal transfection conditions for HEK-293 with the FuGENE® HD Reagent were determined using the protocol recommended in Figure 2. HEK-293 cells were grown to 85% confluency, then harvested and plated in a 96-well plate at 2 × 104 cells/100µl/well. The next day, the pGL4.13 Vector (Cat.# E6681) expressing firefly luciferase under a constitutive SV40 promoter was diluted in 100µl of serum-free medium (DMEM) to 20ng/µl and mixed with 3–8µl of FuGENE® HD Reagent to achieve the indicated reagent:DNA ratio. After a 15-minute incubation, 2µl, 5µl or 10µl was added per well. The cells were mixed gently, then incubated for 24 hours at 37°C, 5% CO2. Cell viability (as measured by the CellTiter-Fluor™ Viability Assay) and reporter activity (as measured by the ONE-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System) then were assayed using the GloMax®-Multi Detection System. For each optimization, a minimum of three lipid:DNA rations and two cell densities were tested. Data are the average of replicate samples ± SEM.
The optimization scheme and plate layout in Figure 2 can be applied to test additional optimization variables.
Several controls must be included in the optimization experiment. Untransfected cells are used as an indication of maximum viability and no reporter expression. DNA- and FuGENE® HD-only controls are included to monitor any unexpected effects of the transfection mix components on the cells.
Tracking cell viability along with reporter activity is critical to determine optimal transfection conditions. High reporter activity may come at the expense of cell health, and unhealthy cells are less likely to show consistent, physiologically relevant biological responses.
Keep optimization simple by using reporter and viability assays that can be measured in the same sample. The ONE-Glo™ Luciferase Assay System for measuring firefly luciferase (Cat.# E6110) and the CellTiter-Fluor™ Cell Viability Assay (Cat.# G6080) are examples of compatible assays(3) . By multiplexing these two assays, both reporter activity and viability can be measured in the same well of a 96-well plate in less than an hour. No medium changes or washing is needed.
Empirically determining optimal transfection conditions for your cell type will allow you to get the most out of your experiments. Optimal conditions will give you maximum reporter activity with minimum impact on cell health, thus preserving the biology of your cells for subsequent manipulation. By understanding the keys to success, following a standard optimization plate layout and multiplexing reporter and viability assays, optimal parameters can be determined with relative ease.
For rapid analysis of your optimization results following this standard plate format, use the FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent Optimization Analysis Worksheet. For a list of conditions that have been used to transfect various cell types, visit the FuGENE® HD Transfection Reagent Protocol Database.

I'd certainly be very wary about even more geo-engineering (which is what AGW basically is) - we would need to be absolutely 100% certain of the outcome - which in science is never the case when looking to the future. If we were 97% certain that nothing would go wrong, would we justify gambling the whole planet on that??
Cheers - John
Well, it was of course a hypothetical point. I just wondered if our view on Co2 would change from being detrimental in a warming period to beneficial in a cooling period if we accept that Co2 causes warming. That was the point I was trying to make.
It is convenient that a link can be drawn. This is a shame because it sends us off in the wrong direction and detracts from the issue at hand - why we have increased Co2 in the first place.
Like I have said on many occasions we are treating the symptoms of the illness, and not what caused the illness in the first place.
