WASHINGTON — About 6.4 million Americans eligible to buy insurance through the new health exchanges will pay $100 or less a month in premiums because of tax subsidies, according to a Department of Health and Human Services report to be released Tuesday and obtained by USA TODAY.
The report by the HHS office for planning and evaluation said the lower premiums would primarily apply to insurance customers who buy what are called "silver" plans on the exchanges that open Oct. 1.
"The health care law is making health insurance more affordable," said HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. "With more than half of all uninsured Americans able to get coverage at $100 or less, the health care law is delivering the quality, affordable coverage people are looking for."
The 2010 health care law, also called the Affordable Care Act, requires Americans without health insurance from their employers, Medicare or Medicaid to buy insurance through websites called exchanges that were created for each state. The law also allowed states to expand coverage under Medicaid, the federal-state program for low-income Americans.
Subsidies are available to Americans who make less than 400% of the poverty level, or $94,200 for a family of four. The rates were based on people buying silver plans through the exchanges, or the second-lowest-cost plan through the exchanges. Researchers looked at Census data to estimate costs.
Although not all of the states nor the federal exchange have announced their rates yet, researchers determined they could estimate payments without that information. As an example, the Affordable Care Act states that someone making 150% of the federal poverty level, or $17,235 a year, would pay 4% of their income — or $57 — for the second-lowest-cost plan. So, that person's subsidy would be the difference between the $57 and the cost of the silver plan in that state.
"Consequently, it is not necessary to know the actual second-lowest-cost silver premium to determine how many people will pay $100 or less per person per month for a silver plan," the report states.
In addition to the subsidized insurance, a total of half of all uninsured Americans could pay less than $100 for insurance beginning in January because of other expanded programs. About 41.3 million people don't have insurance now, according to HHS.
In the 25 states that have decided to expand Medicaid, 12.4 million uninsured Americans will be eligible to pay less than $100 a month, the report found. People in this group will pay either nothing or a small premium to participate in Medicaid.
If the rest of the states expanded Medicaid to coverage to those who earned below 138% of the poverty level, about one in four of the 41.3 million people without insurance would qualify for Medicaid, tax subsidies to help pay for insurance or the Children's Health Insurance Program, researchers found.
On Monday, Pennsylvania, announced it would expand Medicaid.

Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Romania
The Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Romania or True Orthodox Church of Romania is a resistance, Old Calendarist Synod, which broke off from the Church of Romania, holding that the latter is in error.
In 1924, Metropolitan Miron of the Church of Romania introduced the New Calendar or Gregorian Calendar for use in the Church. Although most Romanians accepted the change, the skete of the Protection of the Theotokos in northern Moldavia rejected it. In 1925, led by Hieromonk Glicherie (now canonized as Saint Glicherie of Romania, the Confessor), some of the bretheren left the skete to start an Old Calendarist group. When, in 1926 and 1929, Metropolitan Miron ordered Pascha to be celebrated according to the Gregorian Paschalion, a large number of faithful, including Russian émigrés, left the Church of Romania and joined the Old Calendarists. By 1936, the Old Calendarists numbered about 40 parishes.
Beginning in 1935, at the order of Metropolitan Miron, the Old Calendarists were under persecution. By 1940, ten Old Calendar priests had died in prison, and all of the Old Calendar churches had been shut down. St. Glicherie was imprisoned, but, at the beginning of World War II, released.
By 1950, with the release of St. Glicherie and other priests from prison, many of the churches were rebuilt. In 1955, Metropolitan Galaktion left the Church of Romania to serve the Old Calendarists, and immediately ordained new priests and deacons. However, he was soon arrested, and placed under house arrest in Bucharest. While under house arrest, Metropolitan Galaktion ordained three other bishops, including St. Glicherie, who, in 1957, became the head of the True Orthodox Church of Romania.
- Metropolitan Vlasie, President of the Synod of the True Orthodox Church of Romania
- Bishop Demosten of Neamts
- Bishop Ghenadie of Bacau
- Bishop Pahomie of Vrancea
- Bishop Teodosie of Brasov
- Bishop Sofronie of Suceava
- Bishop Iosif of Botosani
- Bishop Flavian of Ilfov
Since 1980, the Synod has been in full communion with the True Orthodox Church of Greece (so-called "Callistoites"), then with the Holy Synod in Resistance (so-called "Cyprianites"). The Synod also maintains communion with the Old Calendar Orthodox Church of Bulgaria (Bishop Photii), and with the Russian Orthodox Church outside Russia (ROCOR).
Headquartered in the Monastery of the Transfiguration, Slatioara, Moldavia, the Synod has 130 parishes, 13 monasteries, 21 sketes, and publishes two periodicals, Traditia Ortodoxa and Catacombele Ortodoxiei. 160 priests (including 115 married priests and 45 hieromonks) and 26 deacons serve the Synod's faithful. 290 monks and 510 nuns dwell in the monasteries.

Savvas the New of Kalymnos
Our venerable and God-bearing father Sava the New (also spelled Savvas or Savas) is the patron saint of the Greek Island of Kalymnos (Calymna), where he lived during the last twenty years of his life as the priest and spiritual father of the nuns of the Convent of All Saints. He was a great ascetic, confessor, iconographer, and miracle-worker. He is one of the recently recognized saints in the Greek Orthodox Church.
The feast of St. Sava the New of Kalymnos is celebrated on various dates in different traditions, including February 7 (March 25 in the Old Calendar), April 7, December 5 with St. Sava the Sanctified, and the fifth Sunday of Great Lent with St. Mary of Egypt.
Saint Sava was born in 1862 in Eastern Thrace and was baptized with the name of Vasilios. From a young age he had a calling for the holy monastic life and so he left for Mount Athos as a teen where he entered St. Anne's Skete. Along with the usual monastic duties, he learned iconography and Byzantine music.
After a few years, he traveled to Jerusalem for a pilgrimage to the holy sites, and there he entered the monastery of St. George Hozevitou. After a period of being a novice, he was tonsured a monk and given the name of Sava.
In 1902, St. Sava was ordained a deacon and a year later he was ordained to the holy priesthood. He spent almost 10 years in the desert by the Jordan where he led an austere life and occupied himself with prayer and iconography. His dwelling consisted of two cells which he reached by ascending up a rope ladder. This isolation was necessary for successful inner concentration and noetic prayer and he made great spiritual progress there.
Due to health reasons and the political situation in Palestine which made life unsafe, St. Sava returned to Greece where he searched for a quiet place to continue his monastic life. He traveled throughout Greece for three years but could not find a suitable place. His prayers were answered when another saint, St. Nektarios of Aegina, had asked St. Sava to come to the Holy Trinity Convent in Aegina and serve as a priest for nuns. There he would also be able to teach them the sacred art of iconography and Byzantine music. St. Sava stayed at the convent for six years, from 1919 until 1925. This time at the Convent was one of the most significant events in the saint's life due to his association with St. Nektarios who was at the height of his spiritual development. St. Sava had the opportunity to confess and receive counsel from St. Nektarios. The two had the highest esteem for each other and each considered the other a saint.
As a matter of fact, St. Sava painted the first icon of St. Nektarios: One day St. Sava asked the abbess not to let anyone disturb him for forty days, during which he remained confined to his cell. After 40 days, he came out of his cell holding an icon of St. Nektarios. He handed it to the abbess and asked her to place it in the church for veneration. The abbess was surprised since St. Nektarios had not been glorified ("canonized") as a saint yet, and she was afraid that the convent would get into trouble. Although the saint was always meek and humble, he insisted, and told her in a commanding manner: "You must show obedience. Take the icon and place it on the icon stand, and do not scrutinize the will of God." He knew the holiness and purity of St. Nektarios.
After St. Nektarios reposed, more and more pilgrims would come to the convent due to the growing reputation of St. Nektarios as a miracle-worker. This disrupted the quiet life that St. Sava loved, and so he departed the convent in 1925, again for a quieter life.
St. Sava spent the last years of his life as the priest and spiritual father at the Convent of All Saints on the island of Kalymnos. As a confessor, he combined leniency with severity. He was lenient on certain sins and severe to others. He remained an ardent spiritual striver until the end of life and practiced extreme forms of self-restraint with regard to food, drink, and sleep. St. Sava became a shining example of virtue to all who came into contact with him. Many smelled a heavenly fragrance in his presence and some even saw him rising above the ground as he stood at prayer.
Towards the end of his life, St. Sava was in a state of intense prayer and holy contrition. For three days he did not receive anyone and he gave his last counsels: requested love and obedience in Christ. When he was on the point of death taking his last breath, suddenly he received strength, brought his blessed small hands together, and clapped them repeatedly saying his last holy words: "The Lord! The Lord! The Lord!" He went to the Lord in 1948 on the eve of the feast of the Annunciation. One nun saw the soul of the saint ascending in a golden cloud towards heaven. After about 10 years when the saint's grave was opened in accordance to the Greek Orthodox custom, a heavenly fragrance emanated from the grave and this was witnessed by many, including the local bishop. This was a testament to the sanctity of the saint. Numerous miracles and healings have since been attributed to St. Sava the New of Kalymnos.
Let us faithful praise Holy Savas, the glory and protector of Kalymnos, and peer of the Holy Ascetics of old; for he has been glorified resplendently as a servant of Christ, with the gift of working miracles, and he bestows upon all God's grace and mercy.
Today the island of the Kalymnians celebrates your holy memory with a rejoicing heart; for it possesses as truly God-given wealth, your sacred body that has been glorified by God,O Father Savas, approaching which they receive health of both soul and body.
Rejoice thou new star of the Church, the offspring of Thrace and the beauty of Kalymnos, O God-inspired Savas, fellow citizens of angels and equal of all the saints.

WASHINGTON — Barack Obama pivoted quickly to the general election campaign for the White House on Wednesday, naming a three-person team including Caroline Kennedy to lead his search for a running mate while expressing confidence that the Democratic Party would soon unify after a bruising battle for the presidential nomination.
"I'm very confident of how we're going to be able to bring the party together," Obama said after a brief conversation with Hillary Rodham Clinton, his vanquished rival.
Campaign officials said Kennedy, who is the daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, as well as former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder and longtime Washington insider Jim Johnson have already begun compiling information on potential running mates. They disclosed no names.
Obama clinched the Democratic nomination on Tuesday, taking a major step toward his goal of becoming the first black president. While Clinton has yet to concede defeat, she and associates have been maneuvering for the past 24 hours to gain her a place on the ticket.
Bob Johnson, the founder of the Black Entertainment Network, was among them, and said he was doing so with her blessing.
Johnson said he had written the Congressional Black Caucus asking its members to urge Obama to place Clinton on the ticket.
Video: Clinton open to being VP Clinton "didn't direct me to do it but she certainly knows what I'm doing," said Johnson, who angered Obama's aides earlier in the race when he obliquely referred to Obama's confessed drug use as a young man.
Democrats began closing ranks quickly.
Two senators swung behind Obama after remaining neutral throughout his long nominating battle with Clinton, as did Rep. Rahm Emanuel, D-Ill., a member of the House leadership with close ties to Obama and Clinton.
"We have a nominee of our party," said Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa. Sen. Ken Salazar of Colorado also announced his endorsement.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, who had been a Clinton supporter, announced he was backing Obama.
It hardly mattered in terms of delegate math — after months of struggle, Obama had more than enough to prevail at the party convention in Denver in August.
But Mondale, Harkin, Salazar and others poised to endorse Obama later in the day were also sending a message to Clinton that her race is over, whether she will admit it or not.

mc chris @ Varsity Theater
mc chris with Powerglove @ Varsity Theater
August 9th, 2012
Early shows always get me. I think they are wonderful, as all ages do deserve the right to live music. Especially when it comes to nerdcore, a subgenre of hip hop loosely described as one characterized by subject matter considered to be of interest to nerds (video games, Japanimation, comic books, table top games, film, and so forth). I remember mc chris being one of the first performers I saw in the greater metro at an all ages venue, so naturally, when I discovered he was performing just up the street at the Varsity Theater, I had to attend - despite being well of
Working, it's hard to get to an event that opens at five PM, so we strolled in a little late. At the entrance, I noticed that one of my favorite nerdcore rappers had a merchandise table set up, Mega Ran (aka Random), even though he was not mentioned on the official tour list. I had the pleasure of seeing him perform at a hometown geek convention called No Brand Con (kind of a tradition with me and some friends) just a few months earlier. After a quick talk, he informed me that he opened the show - something I wish would have been better publicized, as his newest release, "Language Arts Vol. 1" is a huge hit in the college radio scene, debuting at 34 on the CMJ charts. If you get the chance, check out his live show - so much energy - and he raps about Mega Man, Final Fantasy, and teaching English.
Metal was playing during this realization. Odd, for a hip-hop show. Aside from causing brief confusion, this got me pretty stoked. I enjoy my metal. And after noticing the band was shredding a theme track of "Final Fantasy VII," one of my all-time favorite video games, I got especially stoked. Upon walking onto the floor, which was much more full than I had expected for a niche genre and an early weeknight concert, I gazed up to find four gentlemen dressed as what my companion referred to as, "GWAR's younger brothers." They shortly thereafter introduced themselves as Powerglove, and continued to play some wild riffs. My favorites included the theme song to the "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers," to which they brought up a member of the crowd dressed as the Red Ranger to dance along, and the theme to "Pokemon," to which literally the entire crowd sang kareoke with. It made sense why they opened.
Having voiced a number of cult-hit characters from Adult Swim's programming block, including Hesh from "Sealab 2021" and MC Pee Pants on "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," mc chris has garnered quite the following in the nerdcore realm. Despite conflict between user sourced website, Reddit, and mc chris via Twitter throughout this tour, his following had not died down as expected, and many eager fans were fidgeting as the filler music died down. mc chris walked out and immediately commended a moment of silence for the victims of the recent Aurora, Colorado Dark Knight Massacre, and the shooting of the Sikh temple in Milwaukee. Afterwards, he stated, "I know not everyone holds these beliefs," but urged the audience to remember that the shooters themselves are also victims, whether of society, or their own mental illnesses. Obviously a bold statement, but one that resonated well in nerd subculture. mc went on to play quite a long set, filled with mostly remixes of hits from his eight studio albums and various mix tapes. About halfway through, mc chris drew the crowd's attention to a four year old audience member, sitting on the stage in the arms of her guardians. He stopped, and took a picture of the crowd with the child as a focal point, that you can now find online.
Highlights of mc chris's set include two particular tracks. The first being the song, "Geek," off of 2003's "Knowing is Half the Hassle." The song's content discusses issues of school shootings, the result of nerds being bullied. While this content is clearly sensitive following the Dark Knight Massacre, mc chris paused prior to inform the patrons that "Geek" was in the set list prior to the shooting, and that we should never allow "a terrorist's act of terror to influence our behavior." Another track, "Part One," off of 2011's "Race Wars" is entirely about The Batman. Again, before performing, mc chris paused to tell the audience that the last thing the victims of the Aurora shooting would want, given they were eager fans at the midnight showing of "The Dark Knight Rises," would be for us not to watch, read, and love Batman.
After performing for about an hour, mc chris came back for an encore, thanking the crowd for urging him back on ("Not every audience does this."), and discussed his upcoming project for a mc chris animated television show, and went on to perform fan favorites, "Fett's Vette", and "The Tussin."

As while playing this game, player need to focus on different factors while playing game so concentration and management for multiple tasks increases in person.

Self Defense in Sawyer County WI:
As we see on social media day by day women are most victimized. Reason is that they don't know how to defend themselves. They generally think that 'My family/ husband is there to protect me'. But family and husband can't be there with you every time. So, yes then at point of time if you have something like Jiu Jitsu inside you, then you can walk freely and bang the people of your way. On other hand, Jiu Jitsu is also easier and suited for all.
Attractive Personality:
It is obviously seen in most of cases of martial arts learned people even they are at starting phase, they are quite confident everywhere and in every aspect. They have a sportsman spirit and charm on their face which attracts everyone. Especially if you are a Jiu Jitsu expert, no one will either willing to be stone of your way. Other thing is that whether you have short height or improper weight even, in jiu jitsu these things matters a little as main goal is to take down opponent to ground by grappling. So, trust me no one needs a special physique to learn this sport any one can learn that.
These games also make us attentive for everything. It's like you are always ready to face any kind of situation .Just like a soldier one becomes ready for every move of life. Playing a sport also makes person disciplined and respectful to all. We respect our opponent every time, whether opponent is weak or strong respect is equal.
Along with all above qualities of a sportsperson is fitness. Fitness flexibility is always with him till time he is playing that sport and training for that.
Student Spirit:
When someone is a real sportsman especially a Jiu Jitsu player, one always learns from his previous mistakes. That's one of best part of this game "You keep on ascending day by day". It is said that "As a student, till the time you have your feet on ground you can't drown" – Sandeep Maheshwari.

Sawyer County WI Grappling techniques can be broadly subdivided into Clinch fighting;
Takedowns and Throws; Submission holds and Pinning or Controlling Techniques; and Sweeps, Reversals, Turnovers, and Escapes.
Clinching, or clinch work, takes place with both competitors on their feet using various clinch holds applied to the upper body of the opponent. Clinch work is generally used to set up or defend against throws or takedowns.
Sawyer County WI Takedowns: A takedown is used by one grappler to manipulate his or her opponent from a position where both are initially standing, to a position on the ground. The grappler completing the takedown aims to end on top of the opponent in a position of relative control.
Sawyer County WI Throws: A throw is a technique in which one grappler lifts or off-balances his or her opponent and maneuvers him or her forcefully through the air or to the ground. The purpose of throws varies among the different disciplines of grappling with some emphasizing throws with the potential to incapacitate the opponent, while leaving the thrower standing, or to gain a takedown or controlling position.
Sawyer County WI Submission holds: There are generally two types of submission holds: those that would potentially strangle or suffocate an opponent (chokes), and those that would potentially cause injury to a joint or other body part (locks). In sport grappling, a competitor is expected to submit, either verbally or by tapping the opponent, to admit defeat when he is caught in a submission hold that he or she cannot escape. Competitors who refuse to "tap out" risk unconsciousness or serious

Digital media is becoming a core skill for journalists.
But it is not yet a core skill for their faculty members.
This issue came up in Poynter's chat on Monday, "What Do College Journalism Students Need to Learn?"
Robert French of Auburn University asked:
"Where would you rank the importance of learning technical aspects like video/audio production, CMS / social network usage (how to use open source platforms to create online communities)? Should programs have this interweaved throughout the curriculum, or only one course? Finally, should faculty be actively involved in emerging digital media networks? blogging? podcasting?"
My answer was:
"Robert, I think all students need to be able to do basic work in at least two media. And it's unfeasible for most schools to integrate digital media throughout the curriculum. So I'd suggest all students having at least one course. I think all faculty members need some experience with digital media. But for both students and faculty members, there's still room for different specialties."
I think everyone else who addressed this disagreed with me about the feasibility of most schools integrating digital media throughout the curriculum.
Possibly we're just understanding the question differently. I meant how feasible this is to do soon. And by "throughout the curriculum," I meant "in every course."
I doubt all professors are ready to do this. Take any representative sample, and see how much of a digital presence they have.
One answer could be to get rid of any faculty members who can't or won't integrate digital media.
But they have expertise in other areas. It would be a shame to throw that out.
If that were done, the breadth and total sum of knowledge among the faculty would be sharply diminished.
I think it would be better to start with a more-basic move – such as getting syllabi online and easy to find.

Dublin. 1961.
The frightening "Two-wheeled Taliban" terrorize the streets of the Irish capital.
Like I always say, welcome to Bicycle Culture 2.0. We've been there before. We're there again in many cities. We're going there again in many, many others. Time to get used to it.
Will Dublin be at the head of the pack or lagging behind? Hopefully I'll be visiting in June to check it all out.

When a button is pressed in the classic theme, it looks like there is a temporary margin added that causes the text to wrap only when the button is pushed. It works fine with any other theme. I'm not sure why I have to do something special only for that older theme, but can someone suggest a work around?

Cameroon's best beaches are located on the southwest coast. Dugout canoes, great food and pristine sandy beaches will make you feel like you've landed in paradise.
The Grasslands are a cultural area inhabited by many different ethnic groups and tribes. Head for the heartland of Cameroon and discover some of the lushest countryside of West Africa.
Spread over seven hills, Yaoundé is located in southern central Cameroon and has approximately 2.5 million inhabitants. Although this capital city is smaller and more tranquil than bustling Douala, it's the nation's political and cultural centre. Over the years, it has transformed itself from a peaceful, sleepy colonial settlement to a friendly city with lots of local markets.
Yaoundé is home to some 200 ethnic groups who originate from all over this green country, turning Cameroon into a linguistic jigsaw. It's also the best starting point to discover the magnificent landscapes, active volcanoes and dense rainforests that Cameroon has to offer.
So what are you waiting for? Book your flight ticket to Yaoundé today and discover Cameroon with Brussels Airlines!
Cameroon is located in the heart of Africa, just above the equator, and has both a tropical and equatorial climate. Yaoundé has a tropical wet and dry climate with constant temperatures throughout the year. However, primarily due to the altitude, temperatures are mild for its proximity to the equator. Yaoundé features a lengthy wet season, from February to November.
Given that Cameroon is located at the crossroads between the north, west and centre of Africa, its cuisine is one of the most varied on the continent. With the addition of German, French and English influences, European cooking techniques and culture were introduced. Among the specialties are brochettes, ndolé and taro. In some parts of the country insects are eaten.
Don't wait a moment longer and book your flight ticket to Yaoundé with Brussels Airlines. Find our best prices now.

Gap Seed List v1 June 30th
About the Version 1 Gap Seed List and Editing Methodology
The gaps below were first outlined by participants of the June 30th 2011 Working Group Meeting. This is a rough draft and should be considered a living document to be revised (or re-conceived!) as the contributors see fit. Edit ruthlessly, add comments, references, examples, questions - anything that will be helpful. Don't worry about messing anything up - the wiki allows us to revert to old versions!
At least one person should indicate they will take the lead for synthesizing comments into a clear, digestible paragraph outlining the gap, current practices and open questions (though everyone should feel free to add content!). Please indicate your chosen gap(s) to take the lead on by placing your name beside 'content lead' - first come first served. If you have additional gaps, or want to combine gaps, please add them to the list bottom of the list as a newly enumerated gap, and also indicate if it represents a split or merge of other gap(s). This is a work in progress, so give it a good shot, but expect the final product to change!
Please have a first draft of your paragraphs before our next meeting on July 27th!
(The list is not yet prioritized, but I have rearranged the list into three main groups, retaining the original numbering to preserve cross-listing. - JV)
While new scientific knowledge is generated from a variety of sources (DIY, research institutions, and private industry, from around the world), all synthetic biologists benefit from access to the work of their peers. Furthermore, coordination among scientists minimizes redundant research, freeing up time and resources for the pursuit of new areas or the further development of existing areas. However, ownership of one's own work and the ability to profit from that work are important incentives that must be maintained if scientists and their supporters are to continue investing effort and money into new research. The conflict between these opposing ideals must be resolved for the full potential of synthetic biology to be realized. - JV
0. Relationship between DIY and Synthetic Biology Communities
- Content Lead:
- Should there be similar expectations of responsible conduct between institutional and non-institutional actors? Private and public?
- How are we held mutually accountable for each others' actions? How do we best work together?
1. Ownership, Sharing and Innovation - Property Rights Frameworks for Synthetic Biology
- Content Lead: Alissa
- At what level in the abstraction hierarchy of envisioned biological designs should we instill property rights?
- How does IP determine relationships, scaling, dissemination, commercialization of technology?
- How do scientists deal with the fact that "we're not lawyers?"
- How do we know if and how we should publish and or/share our parts/devices/organisms?
There is currently a lack of regulation and consensus in the synthetic biology field that will certainly need to be addressed as more researchers attempt to capitalize (or attempt to prevent further capitalization) on the outcomes of their research. The two industries that are most similar to synthetic biology, the software and the biotechnology industry, have both suffered from flawed US IP law (Rai and Boyle, 2007). In biotechnology there is the problem of nonobviousness, where broad patents have been issued even though some of the "discoveries" may be still be obvious to biologists in the field. Software was determined to fall under both copyright and patent law, which many feel was also not the best solution (Rai and Boyle, 2007). Broad patents and a crowded patent landscape are likely to hinder innovation in the field, and copyright protection is not likely to be awarded to DNA that has been genetically engineered since the core bases are still the same. There are advantages and disadvantages with each type of protection; the best may be new legislation which can be tailored specifically to synthetic biology, however this will take many years to implement.
In the near term, the efforts of the BBF and the Parts Registry may be the most useful in maintaining a "commons" by putting parts into the public domain, assuming they are able to obtain some patents that may force licensees/users to also contribute their parts, instead of just using the honor system. However, it will still be necessary to leave room for others to somehow patent products (biofuels/pharmaceuticals) or pathways made from these parts, in order to ensure that there is enough incentive (i.e. potential for profit/funding) for researchers and companies to continue using these registries for their projects.
Lastly, since synthetic biologists are not normally trained in IP law, it would be helpful to have some sort of specified liason between the synthetic biology and policy community.
Many ideas are illustrated further in Rai and Boyle, 2007. (AK)
2. Collaboration, Sharing of Parts and the Security / IP implications thereof
- Content Lead:
- exposure vs scooping
- possibilities for interception of work by national security as in other fields?
- parts registries - whether or not to release consent
- unknown trajectory to privacy
- institutionalization and access (e.g. cocaine available through Sigma to academic labs, not public)
- e.g. of needing confidentiality, ownership agreements w/ labs before they will share their parts (Joe S)
9. International Collaboration and Competition
- Content Lead:
- How do we coordinate between countries re: regulation, safety, security?
- How to balance competition, collaboration - where and how should we invest?
- The internet changes everything
B) Public Communication between the Scientific Community and Other Sectors of Society
The scientific community does not exist in isolation, but rather is one aspect of human society populated by myriad groups with their own (concurrent, orthogonal, or opposing) agendas. Society as a whole determines what research may be performed (through laws and funding) and how the products of that research are used. Strong communication between scientists and the rest of society is important to ensure the perception and reality that scientific progress benefits society as a whole. - JV
3. Low National Scientific Literacy as an impediment to Constructive Dialogue around Emerging Technologies
- Content Lead: Joseph De-Shung Shih
- decelerating pace of scientific literacy in the US vs other countries
- public perceptions frame tech developments
- what are the best channels of scientific information that reach publics (e.g. blogs, realclimate.org, reddit, quora, Factcheck.org)
- even within community we have a diverse community of new practitioners
- Establishing Meaningful Dialogues with Diverse Stakeholders - How can deliver reliable information about synthetic biology to the publics?
- How can we anticipate and respond proactively to public/societal sentiments on biotechnology?
- e.g. ETC group letter to SB5 concerned that civil society wasn't included
Although the United States is still one of the scientific leaders of the world, the nation's acceptance of new technologies and scientific practices such as synthetic biology is hampered by the decelerating pace and sometimes net decline in scientific literacy in general. General denial or misinterpretation of theories widely accepted in the scientific community such as climate change or evolution point to scientists' inability to communicate effectively with the general public and with the decline in scientific knowledge within the public. This is especially concerning in regards to emerging technologies such as synthetic biology, where pervasive lack of knowledge allows negative rumors and exaggerations to abound within the public sphere. In order for synthetic biology to develop to the point where it has profound impact on people's lives, synthetic biologists must clearly communicate the potentials and hazards to the general public. Diverse channels such as blogs, video, popular press, and popular literature are some of the potential means of communication between synthetic biology and the general public. Although some people may respond negatively to additional knowledge about the field, we need to establish meaningful dialogues with diverse stakeholders throughout society to build popular support for the potential of synthetic biology. Additionally, more synthetic biologists should actively participate in improving general science literacy in order to better communicate with the general public and build the pool of scientific talent in order to attract and educate future synthetic biologists. (JS)
4. Responding to Other Philosophies and Agendas
- Content Lead:
- Perhaps Related to (the same as?) 3, but dealing with explicitly antagonistic agendas (e.g. PETA?)
- How to recognize, respect dissenting views, philosophies, moral frameworks, philosophies - should these impact decision making?
- Are there limits to rational, constructive dialog?
6. Defining 'Poster Children' for Synthetic Biology
- Content Lead:
- We are much better at articulating risks and telling of stories of failures than the past or future successes. This frames our conversation with the public, govt, regulators etc.
- So focused on not being Monsanto, GMOs that our conversations revolve around risk instead of benefits.
- Possibly could details success stories: Insulin, Amyris, Selective Breeding, Antifreeze Tomatoes etc
- Are there positive breakthroughs from the DIY community?
- How do we relate how SB could touch and improve people's lives?
7. Practical Frameworks for Responding to Political Forces/Situtation that Frame Our Work
- Content Lead:
- Land Use Politics
- Existing Systems of Belief
8. Biotechnology Innovation Roadmap
- Content Lead:
- Do we have a roadmap outlining near-term and long-term deliverables of synthetic biology, their context wrt other (bio)technologies and where they offer either new application areas and/or more cost effective solutions?
- This would help us and other
- What are the key decision points, areas for investment to accelerate innovation
- Economic Forecasting for Synthetic Biology Technology Developments
10. Education, Training and Identity Across a Diverse Community of Practitioners
- Content Lead: Megan
- How savy should we expect researchers to be wrt the broader context of technology developments?
- How do we engage and inspire leadership on practices in a way that aligns with our technical goals, interests?
- How do deal with generational transfer of knowledge and immigration from a broad array of disciplines?
13. Developing Trust in a World of Profits and Secrets
- Content Lead:
- Relation to 2, 5
- How can we be ambassadors for biosafety when we do not have knowledge of research ongoing at private companies and in secure govt labs?
C) Potential Negative Consequences
Synthetic biology has potential to do great good for the world, but it also has the potential for great harm. There exists the danger for the products of synthetic biology to be abused, misused, or unjustly distributed. Care must also be taken to prevent synthetic organisms from escaping human control and damaging human life or the environment. The risks of these negative consequences must be weighed against the potentially generated benefits when determining what research to restrict or entirely disallow. Alternatively, certain potentially dangerous research may be allowed to proceed, with regulation occurring only downstream at product implementation. - JV
5. Risk Analysis Frameworks for Emerging Technologies
- Content Lead:
- How do we deal with the unknown unknowns? Are we dealing with the known unknowns?
- How can we claim, justify safety of things we haven't yet built?
- How do we frame both risk and opportunity?
- How do we do ecosystem clinical trials?
- If we say it's safe, why should you trust us?
- What are appropriate risk assessment frameworks for intentional & unintentional environmental release?
- How do we approach regulation of cross-cutting technology platforms spanning multiple disjointed regulatory bodies set primarily by application area?
- Can we develop experimental systems for assessing safety?
- e.g. rE.Coli - ' safer chassis, but no regulatory framework so hard to commercialize
- e.g. http://trib.com/news/state-and-regional/article_6945effb-0af4-53ab-ba93-af79461f1535.html
- Risk Governance & SB report http://www.irgc.org/IMG/pdf/irgc_SB_final_07jan_web.pdf
11. Preparedness for Syn Bio (-Labeled) Accidents
- Content Lead:
- Mistakes will happen. Accidents will happen. Somebody can be expected to misused this technology - Do we have a community response plan? Who will be held accountable?
- http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v27/n12/full/nbt1209-1109.html
12. Technology Distribution and Accessibility - Justice
- Content Lead:
- How do we develop the technology so that it doesn't serve/benefit only the privileged, elite?

Federal shutdown furloughs thousands in Illinois
The U.S. government's first shutdown in 17 years rippled across Illinois on Tuesday, forcing unpaid furloughs of thousands of civilian military workers and hundreds of others responsible for maintaining key stretches of the nation's inland shipping system.
About 1,300 Illinois National Guard employees also are off the job, as are dozens of state employees. Campers at federally maintained sites across the state were being asked to take down their tents and head out, and visitors to the former home of the state's beloved Abraham Lincoln were turned away.
Some 3,500 civilian employees -- about two-thirds of the non-military staff at 13,000-worker Scott Air Force Base -- reported for work but were later sent home after completing paperwork to wait out the federal shutdown. The remaining civilian employees at the base, which is east of St. Louis and the region's biggest employer, were exempt.
Air Force Col. Kyle Kremer, commander of the base's primary air wing, said some flight operations at Scott will be curtailed, including those transporting senior government and military leaders. But operations deemed essential won't be affected, he said.
At the Great Lakes Naval Training Station north of Chicago, some 2,500 civilian workers also were sent home indefinitely Tuesday, said Senior Chief Abigail Lehtinen, spokeswoman for the site that is the Navy's only boot camp in the U.S. At least for now, the work of those affected has been turned over to the remaining 300 civilian employees deemed "essential" and the site's roughly 5,000 active-duty staffers, she said.
"If this (shutdown) extends, it absolutely puts a strain on everything," Lehtinen said.
The Illinois National Guard also could be forced to curtail some weekend guard duty in addition to the furloughs, said Mike Crisman, a guard spokesman and state employee who was the only person left Tuesday in the Springfield public affairs office. Active-duty training -- generally light this time of year -- will continue as planned if already scheduled, he said.
"Obviously the last 24 hours it's been crazy with media calls. I'm running solo," Crisman said. "It's crazy, but I'm thankful I've got a job and I'm not going home."
On Tuesday, the state sent layoff notices to 53 employees of its Department of Military Affairs and to 20 staffers of the Illinois Department of Employment Security, with those furloughs taking effect Wednesday and lasting at least a week, said Abdon Pallasch, the state's assistant budget director.
"These are the first, and there may be more," depending on how long the shutdown lingers, Pallasch told The Associated Press.
Pallasch said most state agencies, including those partly funded by federal grants, will have sufficient funds to continue providing services to such groups as the disabled, elderly and low-income or jobless people and families -- at least short-term.
The number of federally funded state workers affected by this shutdown pales in comparison to the number laid off during the U.S. government shutdown in 1995, when 1,200 state employees were furloughed before being hired back two weeks later when the federal government reopened for business.
In the capital city of Springfield, people visiting the Lincoln Home National Historic Site -- the state's only National Park Service property -- were turned away Tuesday. The landmark, which draws hundreds of thousands of people each year, was closed because of the shutdown. Lincoln owned the home and lived in it for nearly 20 years.
Shipping on the Mississippi River in the nation's midsection continued unabated Tuesday along with operations of the waterway's locks and dams, even though the Army Corps of Engineers' St. Louis district that oversees it all lost some 500 of its nearly 700 employees due to the shutdown, said Mike Petersen, the Army Corps' regional spokesman.
The remaining Army Corps staffers stayed on to safeguard public safety, continue dredging the river and operate the Mississippi's infrastructure, Petersen said.
The corps-run National Great Rivers Museum and the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary near Alton, northeast of St. Louis, also closed. Hundreds of campsites and boat ramps that the agency operates across Illinois shut down, too, Peterson said.

There are the evolutionary arguments ofcourse..
Examples:- Women are better at multitasking than men because in prehistoric times, they stayed home to raise children, pluck fruits, tidy the hut etc.
- Men have a better sense of direction than women because in prehistoric times, they needed to find their way back after a hunting party.
- Women are more verbally developped than men, because in prehistoric times, women spent more time amongst each other in the village, where communication was not disturbing, while men were out hunting together where silence was a big factor in the success of the hunt.
I think in the future, these typical differences will flatten out due to the more similar lifestyle between men and women compared to history
There will always be a gender discrepancy.A nice anatomical example is this:Why is it that men have less problems cheating their wives than vice versa? And why do more men can have sex without the need for 'feelings'?
This is because in the brain, there are parts of the cortex involved in emotion processing and parts of the cortex involved in feelings of lust.

- You may be looking for the titular mark.
The Mark of the Rani was the third serial of season 22 of Doctor Who. A new Time Lord villain, the Rani, was introduced in this serial. She would later return in Time and the Rani.
Synopsis Edit
In 19th century England, the Sixth Doctor finds himself facing two competing enemies: his old adversary, the Master, and the Rani, another Time Lord with a sinister plan. The local population is turning violent and unpredictable. With a major meeting of the brains of the Industrial Revolution due to happen in the village soon, the Doctor must work out what exactly is causing all the problems. Only the Doctor can stop the Master and the Rani's evil plans.
Plot Edit
Part 1 Edit
Something is amiss in the mining village of Killingworth in early 19th century England. Miners are being gassed in the bathhouse and turned into thugs and vandals, attacking men and machinery, seen as Luddites by other locals. The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown witness this when they arrive in Killingworth looking for the cause of some sort of time distortion. They also notice one of the rampaging miners has a strange red mark on his neck. With his usual audacity, the Doctor foists himself upon the local landowner, Lord Ravensworth, who is concerned at the ferocity of the attacks, with the most passive of men suddenly turning violent and unpredictable.
The answer lies in the local bathhouse. The Master has turned up at this key point in human history. He forces his way into the presence of the old woman who runs the bathhouse, in reality, another Time Lord, the Rani. She is a gifted chemist and is using the set-up of the bathhouse to anaesthetise the miners and distil from them the neuro-chemicals that enable sleep. This is what causes the red mark on the victims. These chemicals are synthesised for use back on Miasimia Goria, a planet she rules and which the Master has visited, where her other experiments have left the inhabitants without the ability to rest and are now rebelling. He persuades her they need to deal with the Doctor together. He also steals some of the precious brain fluid she has collected to ensure her collaboration. It is a rocky partnership, full of half-truths and deceptions. The Master goes to deal with the Doctor, egging on local miners to attack his enemy and persuading some to throw the Doctor's TARDIS down a mine shaft.
The Doctor has meanwhile dressed as a miner and entered the bathhouse. He soon deduces the Rani's schemes. She traps him but he challenges her ethics. She reveals she has been coming to Earth for centuries to harvest her precious chemicals. The Master convinces the Rani to let him deal with the Doctor. He has the TARDIS pushed down a mine shaft. The angry Luddites put the Doctor in a cart to ensure that he follows it.
Part 2 Edit
The Doctor is saved by inventor George Stephenson. He and Peri return to Lord Ravensworth's, where Stephenson has planned a meeting of scientific and engineering geniuses in the village. The Doctor is worried about the wisdom of such a meeting in the current circumstances, but the Master is so desperate to see the event take place, he uses mind control of Stephenson's young aide, Luke Ward, telling him to kill anyone who tries to prevent it. The Master wants to use the finest brains of the Industrial Revolution to speed up Earth's development and then use the planet as a power base. He strikes a deal with the Rani; she may return to Earth at any time to harvest more brain fluid if she helps him achieve this.
While the villains are away, the Doctor returns to the bathhouse and dodges booby traps to enter the Rani's TARDIS. Her control room holds jars of preserved dinosaur embryos. She summons her ship to the old mine workings with a remote control device, with the Doctor still inside. He hides while his adversaries talk. The Rani has also set land mines in nearby Redfern Dell. When the coast is clear, the Doctor slips away to report back to Ravensworth, Stephenson and Luke, who is behaving strangely.
Peri is making herself useful by using her botanical knowledge to make a sleeping-draught for the afflicted miners. Her quest for herbs leads her to Redfern Dell. The Doctor surprises the Master and the Rani, who are lurking at the edge of the dell. Soon after he does, he sees Luke step on a mine and get turned into a tree. The Doctor takes the other two Time Lords prisoner with the Master's own Tissue Compression Eliminator. Peri takes charge of them but the Rani's deviousness outstrips the Master's and she is the one who enables them to escape. The Rani and the Master flee in her TARDIS, but the Doctor also has a trick or two:
he has sabotaged the navigational system. The ship is out of control. In the destabilised condition, one of the jars holding a Tyrannosaurus Rex embryo falls on the floor and the creature, affected by the time spillage, starts to grow.
The Doctor and Peri make a swap with Ravensworth, who has retrieved the TARDIS. He gets the phial of brain fluid, which he is told to give to the affected miners. Before the eyes of an astonished scientist and his financier, the TARDIS departs...

References Edit
Biology Edit
- An embryo of Tyrannosaurus Rex is in the Rani's TARDIS. The Doctor imagines she took it from the Cretaceous.
- Peri Brown goes and searches for valerian (Valeriana officinalis), a herb to cure the Rani's victims.
- The land mines of the Rani turn animal beings into conscious vegetable beings.
- Talking about ecology and the difference with the 1800s, Peri says that in her time, some species of butterfly and birds are almost extinct.
- The Doctor says that the Master would probably turn into a laburnum if he stepped on one of the Rani's mines since it is a poisonous tree.
- The Rani blames the Earthlings for being carnivores.
- According to the Rani, a tree has four times the life expectancy of a human being.
- Peri Brown is afraid of rabies and guesses Time Lords are immune to it.
- The Rani uses impregnated worm parasites to take over the minds of her victims and turn them into slaves, which is her version of hypnotism. When the parasites take hold, the eyes of the victim glow a blue colour briefly.
Cultural references from real world Edit
- The Rani's TARDIS is covered with a work by Turner.
- The Doctor calls a dog "Fido".
- The Doctor and Peri were originally headed to the Kew Gardens.
- The scientists Thomas Telford, Michael Faraday, Humphry Davy and Marc Brunel are expected to attend the meeting.
Individuals Edit
- The Rani was exiled from Gallifrey because her giant mice ate the Lord President's cat and took a bite out of the President himself according to the Master. She now rules Miasimia Goria, where she controls a race of aliens. The Rani had come to Earth for centuries, unnoticed; she has extracted brain fluid from people in the Trojan War, the Dark Ages and the American War of Independence. She is also aware of the Master's failed plan on Sarn and had thought he was dead.
- The Master briefly disguises himself as a scarecrow.
- The Doctor refers to Stephenson's "Rocket" in a pun. Peri tells him his puns are getting worse.
TARDIS and time travel Edit
- The TARDIS key manages to open the Rani's TARDIS.
- The Rani has her TARDIS connected to a Stattenheim remote control. She is considered a genius because she managed to invent it. Both the Doctor and the Master are amazed by the achievement.
- Time spillage causes one of the Tyrannosaurus Rex embryos in the Rani's TARDIS to begin maturing rapidly.
- The Doctor sabotages the navigational system and the velocity regulator of the Rani's TARDIS. He foresees they will be flung beyond the Milky Way, maybe at the borders of the universe.
- The acceleration in the Rani's TARDIS sends the Master and the Rani towards the wall in a manner similar to G force.
- The Master uses his TARDIS to override the Doctor's TARDIS, bringing it to Killingworth.
- The Doctor traces the Rani, thanks to a tracking device for time distortions. It detects a time machine nearby, perhaps belonging to a Time Lord, a Dalek or another alien force.
Weapons Edit
- The Rani employs mustard gas as a defensive mechanism against those who mean to break in her TARDIS. The Sixth Doctor and Peri Brown wear masks to avoid its effects.
- The Master's Tissue Compression Eliminator now makes people and animals vanish totally.
- The Master's device is able to unlock a wooden door secured by a wooden latch.
Story notes Edit
- This story had working titles of Too Clever by Far and Enter the Rani.
- The music score for this story was provided by composer Jonathan Gibbs. John Lewis was originally hired to compose the score, but a sudden illness — which ultimately resulted in his death — prevented him from finishing the work and forced the production team to give the assignment to Gibbs just after Lewis had scored the first episode. Lewis' score for the first episode was included on the DVD release.
- The following credit appeared in both episodes: "The BBC wish to acknowledge the cooperation of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum."
- This was the last story of the original series of Doctor Who to be directed by a woman. The next such occasion was TV: Blink, directed by Hettie MacDonald, in 2007.
- The Mark of the Rani was shown in four twenty-five-minute episodes in the USA, Canada, Germany, United Arab Emirates, Australia and New Zealand.
- The Rani was conceived as a new, ongoing villain, but the character only appeared once more in the series, two years later in TV: Time and the Rani. Kate O'Mara reprised the role for the charity special TV: Dimensions in Time (which is considered to be a non-legitimate story by many fans and this wikia) and the spin-off audio production AUDIO: The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind. The possibility of the Rani returning to the revival series has been a source of fan speculation since 2005, with virtually every female character from Rose Tyler to Donna Noble to Lucy Saxon to Missy being considered possible Ranis-in-disguise.
- With the appearances of George Stephenson and Lord Ravensworth, this was the first televised Doctor Who story to feature an historical figure as an on-screen character since TV: The Gunfighters in 1966.
Ratings Edit
- Part one - 6.3 million viewers
- Part two - 7.3 million viewers
Myths Edit
- John Nathan-Turner cast Kate O'Mara as the Rani because of her starring role in the popular American soap opera Dynasty. (O'Mara had yet to begin work on Dynasty when she was cast as the Rani. She was well known for her appearances in UK soap operas, including for the BBC The Brothers - opposite Colin Baker - and Triangle. Her appearances on Dynasty were filmed between the production of this story and her later return in Time and the Rani.)
Filming locations Edit
- Most of the location filming, including the village scenes, was done at Blists Hill Open Air Museum in Shropshire.
- Granville Colliery Spoil Heaps (now known as Granville Park), Lodge Road, Donnington Wood, Telford, Shropshire (Scene of the TARDIS landing)
- Coalport China Museum, Coalport, Telford, Shropshire (Lord Ravenworth's offices)
- Blists Hill Victorian Town, Madeley, Shropshire
- Park Wood, Bury Street, Ruislip, Middlesex (The tree scenes)
- BBC Television Centre (TC6), Shepherd's Bush, London
Production errors Edit
- When Peri enters the bathhouse, she locks the door with the wooden bar. When the Rani and the Master return, the wooden bar is unlocked.
- When they discover Peri, she stands at the foot of the Doctor. In the next shot, they come from the other room.
- When the Doctor dangles above the pit, one of his three attackers falls in. A moment later there is a close-up of three pairs of hands aiming weapons at him. This shot belonged to an earlier part of the sequence before they arrived at the pit.
- When the Doctor first dangles above the pit, he barely fits. When the TARDIS is thrown down, it also fits but is much bigger than the Doctor.
Continuity Edit
- The Master returns in this story, with no explanation given of his escape from what appeared to be a fiery demise at the end of TV: Planet of Fire. (The novelisation appears to assume he had actually been shrinking out of existence and gives the explanation that the flames generated gases that saved him. PROSE: A Town Called Eternity features a burned Master who is healed by the fountain of youth.)
- This incarnation of the Rani later appears in PROSE: State of Change, TV: Time and the Rani, Dimensions in Time and AUDIO: The Rani Reaps the Whirlwind.
- By the 1980s, a story had developed that the Rani was a witch. (AUDIO: The Carrionite Curse)
