February 17–May 27, 2012
Featuring works borrowed from the Yale University Art Gallery, Pursuing Beauty showcases the flourishing artistic traditions and innovations of Edo Japan (1615–1868) one of the most dynamic periods in the history of world art. Two centuries of political stability and commercial growth under the Tokugawa shoguns brought more people than ever before the luxury of leisure time. Increased attention to life's fleeting pleasures and to the aesthetic beauty of the natural world and everyday objects was reflected in the elegant, refined art of this era.
It was a time of artistic experimentation, too, fueled partly by new ideas brought to Japan by the international trade with China and the West. In Kyoto, the traditional art center, artists from different schools reconfigured previous traditions and integrated new elements into their screens, scrolls, and lacquer wares. The development of urban culture and the rise of new social classes in the city of Edo (now Tokyo) stimulated new public interest in genre paintings, woodblock prints, and personal accessories and clothing.
The works of art in this exhibition reflect both the diversity of artistic practices and the pursuit of beauty amid the transient pleasures of what came to be called the ukiyo or "the floating world," where entertainment, recreation, fashion, enjoyment, and, above all, beauty provided an escape from mundane, everyday life.
Dr. Fan Zhang, Freeman/McPherson Post-doctoral Curatorial and Teaching Fellow, is the guest curator of Pursuing Beauty, as well as of the Museum's previous Mellon Foundation project Transcending Boundaries: The Art and Legacy of Tang China (fall 2011). These two exhibitions of East Asian art are organized by Smith College Museum of Art in conjunction with the Yale University Art Gallery Collection-Sharing Initiative. This innovative project, in which SCMA is one of six college museums invited to participate, is supported by generous funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Additional funding for Pursuing Beauty is provided in part by The Brown Foundation, Inc.

Three features promised production investment from Screen Australia are to be partly filmed outside of the country.
The films include Ariel Kleiman's directorial debut Partisan and Robert Connolly's "big family film" Paper Planes, which were promised production investment from Screen Australia this week.
Australian filmmakers are increasingly looking outward and these two films continue that trend.
So too does Ruin, the third film backed this time around by Screen Australia. Formerly known as Om Tuk, the drama has already been filmed in Cambodia by writer/directors Amiel Courtin-Wilson and Michael Cody.
Anna McLeish, who is producing with her business partner Sarah Shaw, told ScreeenDaily that Partisan, starring Oscar Isaac (Inside Llewyn Davis), is expected to go into production in late September and will be filmed in Georgia, Europe and in Warp Films Australia's home state of Victoria.
Kleiman has made a number of short films including Deeper Than Yesterday, which won a jury award at Sundance. The script for Partisan, written by Kleiman and Sarah Cyngler, one of the producers on that short, won the Mahindra Global Filmmaking Award at Sundance in 2012.
Madman Entertainment will release in Australia and New Zealand, and Protagonist Pictures is handling international excluding the US where UTA is representing.
Paper Planes is yet to be cast but is expected to go into production at the end of the year and will be partly filmed in Tokyo.
Connolly said he is looking forward to making a "big family film with Australian kids as the heroes" and expects the universality of paper planes to help the film to appeal locally and abroad.
He will be using Western Australian locations, just as he did for The Turning, which he is racing to finish in time for its world premiere at the Melbourne International Film Festival.
Australia makes few films featuring children in lead roles. Exceptions include Nicole Kidman's 1983 movie debut, the adventure film BMX Bandits and, rather more recently, The Rocket, which was filmed in Laos and won the audience award at this month's Sydney Film Festival.
Connolly is exploring options to make Paper Planes in 3D.
Full details of the films are as follows:
- Production company: Arenamedia
- Producers: Robert Connolly, Maggie Miles, Liz Kearney
- Writers: Robert Connolly, Steve Worland
- Director: Robert Connolly
- International sales: Arclight Films
- Australian distributor: Footprint Films
- Synopsis: Young Dylan, from a small outback town, dreams of competing in the world paper plane championships in Japan.
- Production company: Warp Films Australia
- Producers: Anna McLeish, Sarah Shaw
- Director: Ariel Kleiman
- Writers: Ariel Kleiman, Sarah Cyngler
- Australian distributor: Madman Entertainment
- International sales: Protagonist Pictures
- Synopsis: A confronting tale about Alexander who, raised to see the world through Gregori's eyes, is starting to think for himself.
- Production company Flood Projects
- Producers/directors/writers: Amiel Courtin-Wilson, Michael Cody
- International sales: XYZ
- Australian distributor: Madman Entertainment
- Synopsis: A fable of violence and love in modern-day Cambodia.

Last year, Kentucky entered the NCAA Tournament as the presumptive favorites and never lost that title as they rolled to the championship.
This year, there's no heavy favorite, and Kentucky isn't even in the field. Let the madness begin!
With 68 teams, there's a lot of knowledge to catch up on before you hand in your brackets, so we're going to help you do that by spotlighting some of the teams and players you're going to want to keep an eye on over the next few weeks. In the spirit of the Final Four, we're highlighting one choice from each bracket in each category to help keep things straight.
Louisville (Midwest): Rick Pitino's team won the last Big East tournament before the whole grand experiment came to an end, and they could keep on rolling all the way to Atlanta behind the best defense in the entire country. It's an experienced team that made it to the Final Four last year, and they're coming into the dance with the biggest head of steam of anyone.
Florida (South): Florida was never one of the elite teams fighting for the top spot in the rankings, and they lost to Mississippi State in the SEC finals on Sunday, but they get this spot because they were the most balanced team in the country over the entire season. Their offensive and defensive efficiency make them a favorite of advanced metrics and a good bet to weather any opponent that winds up in their path.
Ohio State (West): Making every possession count is vital to tournament success, and the Buckeyes do that as well as anyone by not turning the ball over and by rebounding well. Starting with guard Aaron Craft, their defense also makes you earn every inch you get, and that's another trait that leads to tournament success.
Indiana (East): Losing to Wisconsin in the Big Ten semis didn't keep the Hoosiers off the top line, largely because their offense has been the most impressive in the country this season. The question will be how well they can handle an off shooting night against a team that can also find ways to score at the other end.
Saint Louis (Midwest): The Billikens won the Atlantic 10 regular season and tournament titles with a team that lacks sizzle but has plenty of balance and experience on the floor. Their defense would make a Sweet 16 matchup with Louisville, a feast for fans who like to see teams batter one another for 40 or more minutes.
VCU (South): Another A-10 school and a team that isn't sneaking up on anyone anymore. That doesn't make their Havoc defense any less difficult to face at a moment's notice.
New Mexico (West): New Mexico isn't a dark horse as a three seed, but you probably haven't heard much of them if you aren't a Mountain West diehard. They defend at the highest level, and their offense excels at getting to the free throw line, which comes in handy when you play grinding games like they figure to play this week.
Illinois (East): This is a team that beat Ohio State and Indiana this season, so they aren't out of their class if they advance to a second-round date with No. 2-seed Miami. Their ability to do that will come down to Brandon Paul as the Illini go exactly as far as he takes them.
Duke (Midwest): Duke's very good, but they'll either draw a very good offensive Creighton team or a killer defensive club in Cincinnati in the second round. Then Michigan State, perhaps the worst possible matchup in terms of physicality, could be the Sweet 16 opponent.
Michigan (South): The Wolverines have talent to spare, but they've been aimless for the better part of two months. They look like the classic case of a team that peaked too soon.
Gonzaga (West): They were once everyone's favorite Cinderella, but now they are the team everyone thinks is over-seeded because they haven't beaten anyone. Pittsburgh would test their mettle in the second round, assuming they don't get shocked by the Wichita State Shockers in the opening round.
Syracuse (East): The Orange had a nice run in the Big East tournament, but they were all over the place during the season and showed no signs of being one of Jim Boeheim's better teams. If the right team keeps showing up, they've got a shot, but we wouldn't bet on it.
(12) Oregon over (5) Oklahoma (Midwest): Oregon was dropped a line because of conflicts elsewhere in the bracket, which means the gap between these teams simply isn't that great.
(13) South Dakota State over (4) Michigan (South): This should be a blowout for the Blue, but teams reliant on jump-shooting are always at risk of going cold. SDSU can't stop a hot Michigan team, but they can score enough to beat a cold one.
(11) Belmont over (6) Arizona (West): We'd feel more confident about this one if Belmont hit a few more of their threes, but they are a highly efficient offensive team inside the arc, and that's a nice skill to have if this stays close into the final minutes.
(12) California over (5) UNLV (East): UNLV has scary talent at its disposal, but the team has never found a way to make the whole greater than the individual parts. They could win this game and make a deep run, or they could fall victim to their own dysfunction.
Ryan Kelly, Duke (Midwest): Kelly's return to health took Duke from ACC contender to national title contender, as his size and stroke extend opponents further than they're usually capable of going on both sides of the floor. He'll be essential for the Blue Devils in any game played in a more physical style.
Ben McLemore, Kansas (South): The top-seeded Jayhawks will almost certainly be sending McLemore on to the NBA after this season, so this will be your only chance to watch him in the big dance. The freshman might not be capable of pulling a Danny Manning, but it's going to be fun to watch him try.
Kelly Olynyk, Gonzaga (West): Stopping a seven-footer who can run, put the ball on the floor and face up to the basket is no easy trick. Olynyk is capable of putting together the kind of performances that carry the Zags past the doubts about their fitness.
Victor Oladipo, Indiana (East): Uncommonly talented with a knack for making game-changing plays on offense and defense, Oladipo embodies everything that's been great about the Hoosiers this season. The biggest concern is turnovers, but his ability to take things over all by himself more than balances things out.

Bloomberg reports that Mercedes is still out in front in the race for U.S. luxury car sales leadership, but BMW has narrowed its lead. As of the end of October, Mercedes was ahead of BMW by 2,748 vehicles. One big question is what kind of impact Hurricane Sandy will have on luxury car sales. The Northeast is a tremendously important luxury car market and key places, like Westchester County and Long Island have been hit hard by the storm. True Car vice president Jesse Toprak says the storm's aftermath should slow sales in the first half of this month, then boost deliveries in December as consumers replaced totaled vehicles." For luxury vehicles, I expect it will be a net positive for the year because of replacement of total-loss vehicles," he said.

Electronics Components: How to Detect Infrared Light
There are several ways to detect infrared light in an electronic circuit, but the most common is with a device called a phototransistor. You can buy a phototransistor for less than a dollar at RadioShack or any other store that stocks electronic components.
To understand how a phototransistor works, first review how a transistor works. A transistor has three terminals, known as the base, collector, and emitter. Within the transistor, there's a path between the collector and emitter.
How well this path conducts depends on whether voltage is applied across the base and the emitter. If voltage is applied, the collector-emitter path conducts well. If there's no voltage on the base, the collector-emitter path doesn't conduct.
In a phototransistor, the base isn't a separate terminal that's connected to a voltage source in your circuit. Instead, the base is exposed to light. When infrared light hits the base, the energy in the light is converted to voltage, and the emitter-collector path conducts.
Thus, infrared light hitting the base has the same effect as voltage on the base of a traditional transistor: The infrared light turns the transistor on. The brighter the infrared light, the better the emitter-collector path conducts.
When infrared light is present, the collector-emitter circuit conducts, and the LED lights up. Thus, the LED lights when the phototransistor is exposed to infrared light.
This project shows you how to build this circuit on a solderless breadboard. Once you have assembled this circuit, try exposing the phototransistor to different light sources to see whether they emit infrared light.
One sure source of infrared is a TV remote control. Point the remote at the phototransistor and press any button on the remote. You should see the LED flash on and off quickly as it responds to the infrared signals being sent by the remote.
Another interesting source of infrared is an open flame. Be very careful, of course; Don't burn down your house just to see if the flames produce infrared light. If you have a small gas lighter, light it up and hold it near the phototransistor.

What's new - Jun 2005
|Thanks to Mitchell Gavrielides for a nit in the Voyager episode guides, Lee Peltz and Joe Fuerte for identifying nits with the internals pictures, Nick Ashman and Harrie for typos on the weapons pages, asdf fdsa for a typo on the Phoenix page, James Harrigan for pointing out that I had Sisko as a Captain not a Commander on the Odyssey battle page, and Łukasz Korzeń for poitning out a date nit.
|Quick search
|As you may have noticed we have removed the quick search from the main page. Instead it now appears in the top left corner of the screen. This allows you to start a search no matter what page you're looking at. Simply enter the text and press return and the results will display in the usual way. You can still use the search button as before.
If you cannot see it try reloading the site, it's probably a cache problem. Please let us know if you have problems with the new arrangement, it's been tested on Mozilla, Internet Explorer, Safari and Firefox on the Mac and Internet Explorer and Mozilla on Windows so it should be ok.
|The FAQ is now searchable.
|Statistics again
|As you can see, DITL has officially broke the 3 million visitors mark!
Although what we do here is done largely for our own pleasure, we do like the idea that we're providing entertainment for others. We hope you keep on coming back and like what you find here; here's to 4 million, which should happen sometime around the end of 2006!
|The statistics pages have been reworked; some obsolete text has been trimmed and the format of the tables modified. We've also reset our stats for things such as operating system, browser and window size so we can get an idea of the current users needs as opposed to those who used the site years ago.
|All Good Things was your all time favourite TNG episode. This week the last of this series - we ask what's your favourite TOS episode?
|We've started going through Voyager and adding some of the smaller characters, plus characters who only get mentioned or listed on a display but not seen. About 40 have gone on today.
|We've expanded the sorting facility on lists so that you can now sort into ascending or descending order. A small red arrow has been added to show which one the list is sorted by and in which order.
|We have dramatically improved the speed with which the chooser page loads; it is anything up to 100 times faster than before. You should also notice improvements in the search facility and episode guides.
|Caption Competition
|Congratulation to Stevo, who won last week's competition. This week it's a shot from DS9's "A Man Alone".
|So, "Sacrifice of Angels" is your favourite DS9 episode in a contest that was much closer than most so far. This week, TNG's turn...
|The Internals page of the Styling section has had another 70 images added to it. We now have extensive coverage of the TOS Constitution class, and many images of some of the more minor one-off alien ships we've seen.
|Caption contest
|Congratulations to Mikey for winning last week's competition. This week's TNG picture is from "Hide and Q".
|A page has gone up for the phase weapons used on Enterprise. It covers both pistols and cannon.
|Well, bit of a surprise to me, but "Endgame" is your favourite Voyager episode. This week, DS9's turn...
|New changes
Well, our promised new feature is up. What we've done is basically an expansion of the "Bridges" pages in the styling section. The new section is called "Internals". Instead of just focusing on Bridges, it covers the following areas
We have a selector similar to the one used for the minor personnel and species;
you can choose any combination of ship classes and internal areas, so for

1664 Grove St. Feb. 1994- Jan. 1999
The building at 1660-1664 Grove Street in San Francisco's "outer lands" now known as "western addition" was built in 1904. Early residents included an agent and salesman in 1660; a stableman, railroad man, and grocer in 1662; and, in 1664, the Altman family included a painter, a printer, and a grocer. In May, 1948 the building was purchased by Pedro and Prisca Villa, who occupied the middle flat. In 1979 the property transferred to their son Carlos P. Villa (a painter and teacher at the San Francisco Art Institute) and his wife Esther Popescu Villa, best landlord ever! This blog chronicles the end of bohemian life in San Francisco as we knew it. The tech-industry boom of the late 1990's drove rents up and most of the interesting people who inhabited the city out. They call it gentrification. White flight. Enjoy!

George R. R. Martin's epic tale about the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros will be continuing on HBO, as the network announced today that it has picked up Game of Thrones for season 3.
Coming hot off the heels of the Game of Thrones season 2 premiere, which garnered record ratings for the series, HBO took no time re-securing David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' adaptation of one of the literature's most epic novels.
Here's what Michael Lombardo had to say about Game of Thrones season 3:
Series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss raised our expectations for the second season – and then surpassed them. We are thrilled by all the viewer and media support we've received for the series, and can't wait to see what Dan and David have in store for next season.
After Game of Thrones season 2 premiered to 3.86 million viewers (which is 1.64 million viewers more than the series premiere), fans of the show knew that a season 3 renewal was just around the corner. And with Game of Thrones producers already planning out season 3, 4 and beyond, it's likely that they felt the same impending renewal as the fans.
While the second season will cover the majority of the novel "A Clash of Kings", the next in the series, "A Storm of Swords," is too large to be adapted into a single 10-episode season. With the intent to split the books across Game of Thrones season 3 and 4, series creators Benioff and Weiss are attempting to figure out the best way to present George R. R. Martin's goliath novels to television audiences.
And if the past is any sign of what's to come, it looks like the fantastical tales of the characters of Westeros will continue to be faithfully adapted for the television screen for many years to come.
...Of course, a 50% bump in ratings for the season 2 premiere doesn't hurt their odds, either.
Game of Thrones airs Sundays @9pm on HBO

Whitworth President Emeritus Bill Robinson
William P. (Bill) Robinson is president emeritus of Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington. He served as Whitworth's 17th president from 1993 to 2010, after previously serving as president of Manchester College, in Indiana, from 1986 to 1993. His tenure as Whitworth's president was the second longest and one of the most influential in the university's history.
With uncommon clarity, Robinson understood and articulated the "Grand Paradox" of Whitworth's mission to uphold Christian conviction and intellectual curiosity as complementary rather than competing values. Inspired by Robinson's leadership, Whitworth students, faculty and staff joined with alumni, donors and friends to achieve record levels of freshman applications, enrollment and retention; $83 million in campus improvements; and a $75 million increase in the university's endowment.
In his role as president emeritus, Robinson works closely with Whitworth President Beck A. Taylor and the university's institutional advancement staff on external relations. He also writes and speaks widely on leadership, organizational culture and communication in corporate, non-profit and ministry settings.

Breast cancer is not a single disease, but a collection of diseases with dozens of different mutations that crop up with varying frequency across different breast cancer subtypes. Deeper exploration of the genetic changes that drive breast cancer is revealing new complexity in the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide.
In one of the largest breast cancer sequencing efforts to date, scientists from the Broad Institute, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, the National Institute of Genomic Medicine in Mexico City, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center have discovered surprising alterations in genes that were not previously associated with breast cancer. They report their results in the June 21 issue of Nature, which is publishing a series of papers characterizing the genomic landscape of breast cancer.
One of the team's new findings, a recurrent fusion of the genes MAGI3 and AKT3 in what is known as a translocation event, was observed in tumors from a rare but aggressive form of breast cancer known as triple-negative breast cancer. This cancer does not respond to conventional hormone therapy because its tumors lack three receptors that fuel most breast cancers: estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (known as HER2). But the biological pathway that is affected by the MAGI3-AKT3 reshuffling is already the target of experimental drugs.
The other new alteration reported by the team occurred in two transcription factor genes. Recurrent mutations were detected in the gene CBFB and deletions of its partner RUNX1. Cancer-causing rearrangements of these two genes are common in blood cancers, such as acute myeloid leukemia, but their discovery in breast cancer marks the first time they have been seen in a solid cancer.
"These genes wouldn't top the list of genes you think would be mutated in breast cancer," said Alfredo Hidalgo Miranda, co-senior author of the paper and head of the cancer genomics laboratory at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine, known by its Spanish acronym INMEGEN. "That's exactly the point of doing this type of analysis. It gives you the opportunity to find those genes that you never thought would be involved in the breast cancer process."
The scientists studied two kinds of samples. They sequenced the whole exomes — the tiny fraction of the genome that encodes proteins — of 103 breast cancer tumors and DNA from normal tissue from patients in Mexico and Vietnam. They also sequenced the entire genomes of 22 breast cancer tumors and matched normal tissue.
Their analysis confirmed the presence of previously known mutations, but it also turned up the unsuspected alterations.
"One of the lessons here is the real diversity of mutations in breast cancer. I think it's clear there are going to be roughly 50 or so different mutated genes in breast cancer," said Matthew Meyerson, co-senior author of the paper, Broad senior associate member, and professor of pathology at Dana-Farber and Harvard Medical School. "There's a big diversity of driver genes in cancer. We don't understand what all of them are, but larger data sets will enable us to identify them."
The mutations in CBFB and RUNX1 point to the importance of understanding cell differentiation — how cells become specialized — and transcription factors that regulate that process of cell differentiation in epithelial tissue, which lines the inner and outer surfaces of the body. Further studies are needed to unravel that relationship, the authors concluded.
For the current study, inspecting the novel fusion gene MAGI1-AKT3 more closely showed not only that the translocation can transform normal cells into cancer cells, but also that the protein produced by the gene is insensitive to certain drugs now in clinical trials, yet sensitive to others.
In general, fusion genes are created within the same chromosome or across different chromosomes when parts of one gene join parts of another to become a novel gene that wouldn't normally exist. Like the CBFB and RUNX1 mutations, translocations are also more common in blood cancers but until now have rarely been detected in solid tumors, especially breast cancer.
This particular MAGI1-AKT3 fusion gene produces a fusion protein that acts in the PI 3-kinase pathway as an oncogene, or a gene that drives cancer, revealing a new target for potential therapy. The kinase pathway controls a multitude of cellular functions. When a gene is mutated in this pathway, the result is uncontrolled cell growth, a hallmark of cancer.
Other gene mutations in this pathway are well-known, but MAGI1-AKT3 is a first.
"This is the first translocation event resulting in an oncogenic fusion protein that has been identified in this pathway," said Alex Toker, a professor in the department of pathology at Beth Israel Deaconess and Harvard Medical School. "That's important because this is one of the most frequently mutated pathways in human cancer, especially in women's cancers such as breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer."
The most frequently mutated pathway is also the most studied and, from a pharmaceutical perspective, among the most "druggable."
In laboratory dishes, tests confirmed that the novel structure of proteins encoded by the fusion gene provided no place for some drugs to bind but offered targets for other drugs.
"There are many additional studies that need to be performed using mouse models of disease that would recapitulate the expression of this protein in the mammary gland, in addition to the mechanism by which this protein promotes the effects associated with malignancy," Toker said. "These are all experiments that are under way."
Once the mechanism at work in triple-negative breast cancer is understood through animal models, the next step would be to test chemical compounds to see how effective they might be at targeting cells that harbor this fusion gene's protein.
Beyond these scientific findings, the study also represents a closer look at the Latino population, thanks to the collaboration between the Broad and INMEGEN, forged through the Slim Initiative in Genomic Medicine.
"The Slim Initiative in Genomic Medicine aims to support the discovery of the genetic basis of diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and several types of cancer which have a profound public health impact in Mexico and Latin America," said Roberto Tapia-Conyer, director general of the Carlos Slim Health Institute. "This novel bi-national scientific collaboration is contributing to put the Latin American genome on the map of the second generation worldwide genome studies."
INMEGEN scientists had previously built a large breast cancer study and then scientists at both the Broad and INMEGEN exchanged clinical, biological, and computational information.
"From the Mexican point of view, you can say the Latino population has not been extensively characterized using genomic methods," Hidalgo Miranda said. "This is a significant contribution to the knowledge of the architecture of breast tumors in this particular population."
The study represented a first opportunity to study the genetic basis of breast cancer in Mexico. Larger studies will be required to determine whether differences in the spectrum of mutations exist between different populations, but this was an important first step toward that goal.
Contributors to the work also include, from the Broad and its Harvard-affiliated hospitals: Shantanu Banerji (co-first author), Kristian Cibulskis (co-first author), Kristin K.

Dynabeads® M-270 Streptavidin are ideal for nucleic acid diagnostics, specifically with samples with a high chaotropic salt concentration, immunoassays involving small biotinylated antigens and applications that are not compatible with BSA (these beads are not blocked with BSA).
Add Dynabeads® to a sample containing biotinylated molecules such as peptides, oligonucleotides etc. During a short incubation, the biotinylated molecule will bind to the beads. Separate the molecule-bead complex with a Dynal® magnet. Capture, washing and detection can be optimized for manual or automated use. With indirect capture, mix the biotinylated molecule with the sample to capture the molecule-target complex before adding Dynabeads®. Indirect target capture can be advantageous when molecule-target kinetics are slow, affinity is weak, molecule concentration is low or molecule-target binding requires optimal molecule orientation and true liquid-phase kinetics.
Description of Materials
Dynabeads® M-270 Streptavidin are uniform, superparamagnetic beads of 2.8 μm in diameter with a streptavidin monolayer covalently coupled to the hydrophilic bead surface. This layer ensures negligible streptavidin leakage while the lack of excess adsorbed Streptavidin ensures batch consistency and reproducibility of results.
Materials Supplied
Dynabeads® M-270 Streptavidin are supplied as a suspension containing 10 mg (6-7 x 10 8)
Dynabeads® per ml, dissolved in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) pH 7.4, containing 0.09%
NaN3 as preservatives. Available in three volumes:
2 ml (Cat.no. 653.05)
10 ml (Cat. no. 653.06)
100 ml (Cat. no. 653.07).
Additional Materials Required
Magnet for manual or automated protocols. See www.lifetechnologies.com/magnets-selection for recommendations.
Mixing device with tilting and rotation.
Buffers and Solutions (see Table 1).
Biotinylated compounds. For advice on biotinylation, see dynal. Section 4.2 of "The Handbook ( http://probes.invitrogen.com/handbook) gives a guide to available biotinylation reagents.
Table 1: Recommended buffers and solutions
|For coupling of Nucleic Acids
|For Dynabeads® treatment before RNA manipulations
|For coupling of protein or other molecules
|Binding and washing (B&W) Buffer (2x):
10 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.5)
1 mM EDTA
2 M NaCl
|Solution A:
DEPC-treated 0.1 M NaOH, DEPC-treated 0.05 M NaCl
Solution B:
DEPC-treated 0.1 M NaCl
|PBS buffer pH 7.4 These buffers can also be used for your application if needed:
PBS/BSA (PBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.1% (w/v) BSA) PBST (PBS, pH 7.4 containing 0.01% (v/v) Tween® 20)
The salt concentration and pH (typically 5-9) of the chosen binding/washing buffers can be varied depending on the type of molecule to be immobilized. Beads with immobilized molecules are stable in common buffers.
Critical Notes
- In the protocols we recommend keeping the tube on the magnet for up to 2 mins to ensure that all the beads are collected on the tube wall. For non-viscous samples, separation is often complete in under 1 min, once you can see the beads collected.
- For diluted sample increase the incubation time or isolate in smaller batches using the same beads in each batch.
- Use a mixer to tilt/rotate the tubes so Dynabeads® do not settle at the tube bottom.
- Avoid air bubbles during pipetting.
- Free biotin in the sample will reduce the binding capacity of the beads. A disposable separation column or a spin column will remove unincorporated biotin.
Run the PCR with limiting concentrations of biotinylated primer, or remove free biotinylated primer by ultrafiltration, microdialysis or other clean-up protocols. PCR Clean Up products are available from .
Immobilization Procedure
Bead Preparation
- Resuspend the beads in the original vial by rotation or vortexing.
- Calculate the amount of beads required based on their binding capacity, see table 3, and transfer the beads to a new tube.
- Wash Dynabeads® to remove preservatives.
- nucleic acid applications: 1x B&W Buffer
- antibody/protein applications: PBS, pH 7.4
- Place the tube containing the beads on a magnet for 1-2 mins.
- Remove the supernatant by aspiration with a pipette while the tube is on the magnet.
- Remove the tube from the magnet.
- Add washing buffer along the inside of the tube where the beads are collected and Resuspend (same volume of washing buffer as the initial volume of Dynabeads® taken from the vial or larger).
- Repeat steps 4 to 7 twice, for a total of 3 washes.
If using Dynabeads® for RNA Manipulation:
As Dynabeads® Streptavidin are NOT supplied in RNase-free solutions, perform the following steps after washing for RNA applications:
- Wash the beads twice in Solution A for 2 mins. Use the same volume of beads as recommended in step 7.
- Wash the beads once in Solution B. Use the same volume of beads as in step 9.
- Resuspend the beads in Solution B. The beads are now ready to be coated with the biotinylated molecule of your choice.

Washing Procedure
General Immobilization Protocol
Wash the Dynabeads® according to section above before use.
- Add the biotinylated molecule to the washed Dynabeads®.
- Incubate for 15-30 min at room temperature with gentle rotation of the tube.
- Place the tube in a magnet for 2-3 mins and discard the supernatant.
- Wash the coated beads 3-4 times in washing buffer.
- Resuspend to desired concentration in a suitable buffer for your downstream use. Here are some examples of immobilization protocols for specific applications.
Immobilization of Nucleic Acids
- Resuspend beads in 2x B&W Buffer to a final concentration of 5 μg/μl (twice original volume).
- To immobilize, add an equal volume of the biotinylated DNA/RNA in H2O to dilute the NaCl concentration in the 2x B&W Buffer from 2M to 1 M for optimal binding.
- Incubate for 15 mins at room temperature using gentle rotation. Incubation time depends on the nucleic acid length: short oligonucleotides (< 30 bases) require max. 10 mins. DNA fragments up to 1 kb require 15 mins.
- Separate the biotinylated DNA/RNA coated beads with a magnet for 2-3 mins.
- Wash 2–3 times with a 1x B&W Buffer.
- Resuspend to the desired concentration. Binding is now complete. Resuspend the beads with the immobilized DNA/RNA fragment in a buffer with low salt concentration, suitable for downstream applications.
Release of Immobilized Biotinylated Molecules
The biotin-streptavidin bond is broken by harsh conditions. 5 mins incubation at 65°C or 2 mins at 90°C in 10 mM EDTA pH 8.2 with 95% formamide will typically dissociate >96% of immobilized biotinylated DNA. Alternatively, boi the sample for 5 mins in 0.1% SDS for protein dissociation.
Please note that proteins will be denatured by such treatment and Dynabeads® Streptavidin cannot be re-used. It has also been reported that the biotin-streptavidin interaction can be broken by a short incubation in nonionic water at a temperature above 70°C (ref 1).
Immunoassay Strategies
Due to their high surface area per weight, uniformity, excellent batch reproducibility and ease of adaptation to automated processes, Dynabeads® have become the solid phase of choice for developing immunoassays (IVD).
Magnetic separation and handling using Dynabeads® can easily be automated on a wide variety of liquid handling platforms. Dynabeads® MyOne™ Streptavidin C1 share similar properties to Dynabeads® M-270 Streptavidin but are smaller, making them ideal for automation applications due to their small size, low sedimentation rate and high magnetic mobility.
Both the size of the molecule to be immobilized and the biotinylation procedure will affect the binding capacity. Large as well as small biotinylated molecules can be immobilized. The capacity for biotinylated molecules depends on steric availability and charge interaction between bead and molecule and between molecules. There are two or three biotin binding sites available for each streptavidin molecule on the surface of the bead after immobilization.
- Optimize the quantity of beads used for each individual application by titration.
- Use up to two-fold excess of the binding capacity of the biotinylated molecule to saturatestreptavidin.
- Binding efficiency can be determined by comparing molecule concentration before and after coupling.
- Holmberg et al. (2005) The biotin-Streptavidin interaction can be reversibly broken using water at elevated temperatures. Electrophoresis 26, 501-510.

Our next edition of EMR and EHR interviews covers the experience of Jan Patterson and the West Broadway Clinic's path to meaningful use. The full EMR interview with Jan Patterson can be found on the new EHR and EMR interviews website. The following is a summary of that interview written by Kathy Bongiovi.
If you're a doctor, nurse, practice manager, EHR consultant, CEO or executive of an EHR vendor, etc with EMR experience that's interested in being interviewed, let us know on our Contact Us page.
West Broadway Clinic is one of the first clinics to show Meaningful Use. Jan Patterson, the office manager of West Broadway Clinic explained it was the clinic's desire, from day one, to start using an EHR. The EHR certification is a vital piece for meeting the CME incentive requirements. Additionally the providers felt by using an EHR on day one they could ensure a continuity of care, regardless of which provider a patient might see in the clinic.
The clinic had heard about Cerner Corporation through one of the local hospitals. After interviewing several other vendors it felt that the integration of Cerner's Practice Management System and Ambulatory EHR would suit its needs best.
West Broadway began using its EHR in May of 2008 and Patterson stated it was able to meet at least 9 of the meaning use requirements because of its EHR. Patterson felt two of the major factors contributing to meeting those requirements so easily were the elements already built into the EHR and the use of the Cerner EHR. As the clinic encountered issues it was able to contact Cerner's Meaning Use team to assist in the process of attestation.
Additionally, attending Webinars set up by Cerner Corporation, examining materials provided by Medical Group Management Association (MGMA), and attending an MU Summit set up by Cerner Corporation to highlight some of the more important segments of MU, all played an integral role in ensuring West Broadway Clinic would meet Meaningful Use requirements.
The most challenging Meaningful Use requirement was encouraging all of the providers to use the electronic prescriptions function. After reaching MU in just over three months, just two days after attestation opened, Jan Patterson states the clinic continues to maintain its high level of entering the patients' correct and necessary data and the numbers of electronic prescriptions being sent to pharmacies are increasing.
The benefits to patient care are immediate access to the most current visit information and patient history at its finger tips. Patients receive more continuity of care due to the fact that regardless of what provider they are seeing within their office , the provider can quickly and easily track what services and/or medications a different provider has provided the patient. Components such as eprescribe, medicine/drug interactions, allergy checks, complete documentation, immunization schedules and growth charts etc., have made the clinic more efficient throughout the office.
Patterson's advice to anyone starting the MU process is to make sure you have gathered all the information and facts first and ensure all physicians/staff are not only fully advised of what is required to meet MU but are also committed to following the process through to its completion. It is important they understand the benefits and necessity of Meaningful Use. After three years of being on an EHR, Patterson cannot imagine functioning as efficiently on a paper system. Although Patterson acknowledges the money as an incentive, the real benefit in successfully attesting is the benefit to their patients. As Patterson suggests, "The increased benefits of safety cannot be undersold. With the assistance of the EHR, we are practicing better, safer medicine than we could on paper records."

What if your drinking water could induce a sex change?
In some parts of the country, it can. According to a recent article in the Chicago Tribune, atrazine, an agricultural weedkiller has been found at high levels in drinking water during growing season in several Midwest farming states. Studies on the chemical have shown that exposure to small amounts can turn male frogs into female frogs. It's frightening to imagine what long-term exposure might do to humans.
This is not the first time sex-changing chemicals in water have raised concerns. In 2003, the Potomac River was found to contain large numbers of fish with intersex – a condition in which male fish develop premature egg cells. Further study attributed the condition to the presence of endocrine-disrupting chemicals which mimic or block the production of hormones – chemicals found in pharmaceuticals, pesticides and herbicides like atrazine.
The degree to which these chemicals are harmful to humans is currently in debate. Manufacturers of atrazine maintain that their studies say the product is safe (not surprisingly.) Outside studies, however, have raised enough alarm to move the Obama administration to further review the substance, which may lead to tighter restrictions.
Meanwhile, you continue to drink water polluted with atrazine (and who knows what else?). And by the time the government decides to take action you've developed…
Well, I won't even go there.
Bottled water may seem like the answer, but the toxic BPA in many plastic bottles has been said to mimic estrogen, and is therefore also labeled a "gender bender." Not to mention, bottled water is expensive. Looking for a solution that will save you money along with your sex organs?
Move to Europe, where they don't spray atrazine. Or, better yet, just filter your water. (I bet you knew I was going to say that, didn't you?) Jokes aside, Filters Fast carries several brands of refrigerator filters, undersink water filters and water faucet filters that remove large amounts of atrizine, as well as other pesticides and harmful chemicals, from your water. Before you buy, use this Watersafe All-in-One Drinking Water Test Kit to determine how much of these pollutants your water contains..

Back in those dark days before snowboarding, when people were thinking of new ways to descend a slope it wasn't the green run to the café or a 540 they had in mind. It was havin-it down a wide open powder field at full speed sending a plume of light fluffy snow skyward in their wake. That's what Snowboards were made for and anyone who's had the joy of doing it will tell you there's nothing else like it. Those first turns in virgin snow will have you screaming with joy and boring your mates rotten in the bar for days.
Like any extreme sport there's a cost and in Back Country/Off piste Boarding it can be high. People die every year in avalanches boarding Back Country, 90% of people who are caught in an avalanche either set it off themselves or someone in their party did.
Prior Preparation Prevents Piss Pore Performance. Before you think of heading Back Country there is knowledge and equipment you must have. Read any information on avalanches and back country travel you can get your hands on, watch videos, look at the web and don't skimp on equipment if you have a transceiver and no shovel all you can do is find where you should be digging. Over 90% of people buried in an avalanche survive if dug out within 15 minuets, try digging in avalanche debris with the end of your board, it doesn't work. Pack your back pack for all eventualities. Remember the weather in the mountains can change fast, because you started the day in sunshine doesn't mean that you won't end it stuck Back Country in a white out. Always be prepared to stay over night.
There is advice out there, so seek it out and take note of it. Avalanche Risk Warnings are posted in resorts, often there's an advice line you can call for information on the weather and snow conditions. The resort mountain staff will know the mountain well, local inside knowledge is invaluable. Check if there's any Back country tours available, take a local registered guide, if you can't afford one at least ask their advice. Many resorts will have Heli-boarding or a snowcatservice which is a fantastic and easy way to access the back country, most commercially run trips will include a local guide in the price.

Font Family: Chalfont, Number of fonts: 7*OTF + 7*WOFF, Type Foundry: Alan Meeks, Design date: 2003
The typeface was designed after seeing a photocopy of some News Gothic text where the ink had faded on the bottom of each character. As character recognition is generally based on the top half of a character, readability was never compromised. Rather like Antique Olive the characters have a top heavy look when viewed straight on, however, as most type is read at an angle with the top further away than the bottom this top heavy look is diminished.
