Last week while returning a couple of books at the library, I saw the woman in the line next to mine was holding a copy of 'Writing Caste, Writing Gender', a book I've read cover-to-cover a few times. She saw me looking at the book and started a conversation about the editor and how this was her first book on Dalit feminism. So I told her a few other names, and she marveled how I knew 'so much' about 'them' — as it turns out I've got 'Privilege' and 'Hindu' stamped on my forehead in invisible neon ink — because as she assumed correctly, I couldn't possibly be 'one of them'¹. While I smiled at her, I was cringing inwards to see how swiftly she spoke in 'Us' and 'Them' speak, forgetting the 'We', we forged somewhere in the middle, if the Constitution is to be believed at all. As insulting her words were — of course she 'meant well', after all Hindu Ladies have never really been evil, check our scriptures if you want! — this erasure of Dalit people, or the failure to acknowledge them as humans isn't new. 'Caste' seems to be a word we love to forget, dropping it from our consonants as if it doesn't matter at all, or as if the entire country just comprises of one monolithic Hindu ethnic identity. Moving across borders, an otherwise non-imperial article on Nepali bonded labour of little girls mentions the intra-generational debt, servitude and communal 'tradition' of gendered slavery, but yet again re-writes caste-struggle as a largely class-based one. Any time people want to play hide and seek with the term, I can only think of my aunt who calls Dalit women, 'women like that' and almost wish I could ask them to pronounce the word like I do with my students when we learn new French words and phrases, just to make sure the word 'caste' can sound from their tongues too.
Looking beyond India's borders, when the words 'an Indian lady' are mentioned, the image that is the most popular is the Sari-Clad dusty woman, preferably looking docile and happy. Even a Dusty Lady as internationally recognised as Arundhati Roy, or rather the image² we know as 'Ms. Roy' caters to the same trope where beautiful bodies of spectacular South Asian women in silk and cotton saris, face framed with wispy, curly hair invites the consumer to gobble and cement the Image Of The Third World Woman as the one of Serenity, Peace and Wisdom™ and by extension further exotifying us. And in this one idealised 'womanhood' or 'femininity', Dalit or 'lower-caste' femininity, needless to say has no space to survive. No matter how subtle a form of body-policing is, when you erase or censor a body you censor words and voices too, the art of which Hindu society has perfected over centuries. In feminist circles and academia, talking about the Self as the Margin is a lofty trend, for occupying 'Marginalia' is the new PovertyPorn, where you can critique and consume your position in one easy move! While writing while woman is a hard job, writing while 'marginal'³ is a far more lucrative option — especially if you belong to a community that does indeed squat in the mud, for nothing says 'marginal' like a 'tribe' or a 'family' that lived on trees or was related to Gandhi. While manufacturing this parallel universal that caters solely to the DoucheColonial Gaze of the Universal, bodies that are Othered step another foot back into oblivion. This is probably why we know of Jumpha Lahiri and not Bama today. Embodying the 'marginal' in writing films, in manners wise or otherwise, smacks too much of the lens filmmakers like Shekhar Kapur or Danny Boyle use, namely: See How They Squat Prettily, while guilting the audience into tears and gasps and nodding solemnly when it comes to collecting the profits. Playing this CharityCharade works only if the audience wants to see the same breakdown of seeing brown (feminine) bodies being saved from brown (masculine) bodies or any other notion that doesn't challenge any Empires, of years past or the one we live in now.
A few years ago, when I went to Delhi the first time, like the over-excited tourist I did go to see the Taj Mahal and the tour guide spoke of length about the screens through which the Emperor's wives looked from, the rationale behind them being somewhat similar to that of the hijab, to protect the woman from the MaleGaze and to preserve a certain amount of modesty. He used a funny word, he called it 'women's wall' and since that day, any time I see any predominantly Mughal construction, I always look for that 'women's wall'. Recently, in many academic and theoretical discussions, this 'marble slab' or women's wall builds itself up too, whenever the talk shifts to 'those lower castes' who always must be 'given a solution to work with'. As upper-caste Hindu Ladies, there are quite a few systems that keep our tongues heavy, at the same time, we perpetuate the same suppression by keeping other feminine bodies and spaces as curtailed as we can, playing into the bait of embodying the victimiser, if only for a little while. Margins still exist, even if they're constructed by feminine spaces or bodies; the 'lower' caste feminists need to erase their invisibility one step at a time, in spaces that are feminist and otherwise; whether we acknowledge this de-tonguing or not, it is a daily reality for them. Like the Bigger
Whiter Universal culture sees many women of colour as 'revolutionaries' — or 'terrorists', pick one according to your mood! — as we come from 'politically unstable countries', the Dalit Woman is also cast as a Maoist, out to kill and destroy the precious government.
The Gendered- Subaltern, which occupies the lowest step on the ladder of humanity, is seen as a 'submerged' land, which will unfold and break away from the chromatic hegemony of Upper Castes and Classes, only through unraveling itself via memories, private testimonies and mainly, by re-writing and re-voicing it's 'voicelessness'. In this frenzy to 'heal' and 'join' spaces, people, communities — only tokens, mind you — repeatedly cast ourselves as the 'marginal', the detongued animal-subaltern-marginal sub-merges, bobs up and dives into silence. A few years ago, Spivak asked whether this Subaltern even has the ability to speak, today another question pops up, IF the Subaltern speaks, can we even listen anymore?
1. We have a lot of convenient labels for all sorts of unnecessary words. Instead of saying 'people' or 'Dalit' we just say, 'them'; which serves as a distancing and a condescending tool, all in one.
2. This 'image' of Arundhati Roy has nothing to do with her as a persona, activist or an author but rather how this 'persona' is packaged and sold to us, engaging in (ironically) the same dichotomies her texts generally break away from.
3. 'Marginal' is the liberal-elite version of the Marginal –as it were — where differences are constructed so they can mark, decode bodies and cultures easily for instant consumption.

Hi guys,
The tennis season is almost on us. Anyone fancy a hit? I play at around 3.5/ 4 on a good day but I am 51 now so that court is getting bigger. I live in North Vancouver and plenty of court avaiiability there. I also play at the Capilano Tennis Club. I work in Surrey so can also travel to play. Available weekends or evenings most times.
I would also be interested in socila doubles if anyone is looking for a partner as the court is not quite as big !!
Hi Alex,
Are you free to play on Monday morning in North Vancouver ?
Please email me at equator2010 at yahoo dot com
Hi Alex,
We communicated a while back.
Are you up for tennis this weekend in North Vancouver?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for your message. I'll definitely keep you in mind should the next opportunity to play arise.

English at the Ecole des Ponts
Unlike other foreign languages at the Ecole des Ponts, English is compulsory. We counter this by offering as much choice as possible throughout the DFL English programme. Our aim is to help students become expert users of English, capable of communicating effectively with both the native speaker community and with the international community where native speakers may be in a minority or absent, but where expert standards are still expected.
For the first, we have a team of native speakers from varied backgrounds England, the United States, Australia and offer many opportunities to widen and deepen your knowledge of culture, literature, language, and customs. For the second, we make use of the fact that students in English classes are of varying levels, origins, characters and backgrounds, with different communication strategies and styles: not unlike future communication partners in the world. We also have specialist courses in particular fields, in which students will discover the essential performance and presentation standards of those disciplines in the wider international community.
Choosing your English course
We usually encourage students to choose their second language course before they choose their English class, since there are more English classes available. This does not mean that you should choose your English class just for the title, the teacher, or the time: each description will indicate the target population, the subject of the course, the kind and style of work involved, and the spirit or personality of the course. While choosing a course for one semester, students should also consider how this choice fits in with their total English programme over their time at the school - more a question of covering a range of different content areas and competences than an apparently neat linguistic progression from one level to another.
Courses usually offer a range of levels, so that even if students are not very strong in English, they can still choose a course on a subject that interests them. Some of our courses are language skill or level based, but most are organised around subjects. This is because we think that interesting and useful subjects are more motivating than language exercises detached from context, especially for students who have studied English for many years already. In this way, students can learn English and another subject at the same time. If levels are not entirely homogeneous as a result, this too is representative of the situation in the wider world, in which speakers learn from and adapt to one another.
Teachers, Staff, and Who to Contact
There are four permanent English teachers in the DFL and up to 10 part-time teachers in any one semester. Your class teacher is also your' English teacher: your first contact for English affairs and the person to go to for help in the first instance, and to inform if you change group or have to miss a class for any reason. The four permanent members of the English section are Stacey Benoit (USA), Thomas Harcharick ( USA ), Clare Lavelle ( Ireland ), and Caroline Preller (England). They are there to help in any way they can and welcome suggestions for new courses and activities.

For Valentine's Day, a big 'Kiss'
The sailor's shoes were shiny, his uniform was crisp and his eyebrows were neatly groomed. The nurse's stocking seams were straight, and her uniform was a blinding white that could put your eye out. Just in time for Valentine's Day, San Diego's most high-profile couple was all spiffed-up and ready to sweep the public off its feet. Again.
"Isn't it cute?" said tourist Judy Stevens, as the 25-foot statue known as "The Kiss" was being hoisted off a flatbed truck for its installation near the USS Midway Museum. "It's the world's most famous kiss. Happy Valentine's Day to all of us!"
On Wednesday, the new bronze version of the famous (and infamous) statue officially titled "Unconditional Surrender" was installed in the spot in Tuna Harbor Park where the Styrofoam version had been thrilling visitors and affronting art lovers since 2007.
Artist Seward Johnson's foam depiction of a World War II sailor and a nurse locked in a triumphant V-J Day embrace was a long-term loan from the Santa Monica-based Sculpture Foundation. But the bronze version hanging off the crane hook? Thanks to the "Save the Kiss" fundraising campaign, that one is all ours.
And as the 14,000-pound sculpture was headed toward the concrete pedestal that will probably be its eternal resting place, the love affair between a military town and a classic piece of Greatest Generation iconography continued to blossom in a huge way.
"People see this as a piece of romance from back in the day," said Scott McGaugh, marketing director for the USS Midway Museum, which launched the million-dollar fundraising drive that helped pay for the statue. "This is a snapshot of 1945. (Nearly) seventy years later, values have changed and customs have changed, but this is still relevant because it speaks from the heart."
The pre-Valentine's Day journey began when the statue left the New Jersey foundry on Feb. 4. The happy couple was strapped to a flatbed truck — the sailor on his back, the nurse's feet nearly touching the cab — and driver Ron Shaw took a southerly route, stopping along the way to let veterans' groups take a look. And possibly leaving sacrifices to the weather gods when necessary.
"There was a storm system he was outrunning the whole time," said Paula Stoeke, director of The Sculpture Foundation. "And I believe he gets a lot of strange looks on the highway. I think he mostly gives everyone a thumbs up out the window as he goes by."
The sculpture traveled uncovered to avoid the friction of flapping tarps rubbing against paint, but if the nurse and the sailor experienced any grooming issues on the road, you couldn't tell by looking at them. While the new statue is made out of bronze, it was cast in the same mold as the foam original. It was also painted in the same colors, using the glossy, fairly indestructible paint that is used on airplanes.
From the patent-leather gleam of the sailor's shoes to the pink flush of the nurse's clenched hands, the new statue looks exactly like the old statue, just brighter and more intricately detailed. People who thought the original looked like a mutant miniature-golf prop will still loathe it, but longtime fans like Paul Rogers will probably love it more than ever.
"It's real sharp, and the colors look good. But a sailor should be looking good," the retired Navy man said from his viewing spot near the Fish Market restaurant. "I'm really happy it's back."
Around 8:30 Wednesday morning, "The Kiss" sailed across the parking lot and over a construction fence to land in its new digs, which are more in keeping with the statue's elevated status and million-dollar price tag. (U-T San Diego Publisher Douglas F. Manchester is a donor.)
The Wimmer Yamada and Caughey landscape architecture firm surrounded the couple with tasteful gray paver bricks and plaques engraved with the names of the statue's donors. There are five surprisingly comfortable concrete benches and four flowering cherry trees donated by Dennis Otsuji of the Japanese Friendship Garden Society of San Diego. The statue is also getting nighttime lighting, making it perfect for bleary post-cocktail photo op's and maybe an evening marriage proposal or two.
It would be the a great happy ending to the tale of the hulking statue and the city that could not let it go, except for the fact that it's not over yet. Like many great love affairs, this one has the potential to go on forever.
"We don't seen an endpoint to its life span," Stoeke said of the bronze sculpture. "It certainly will be lasting beyond your lifetime and my lifetime."

Status check to be required for some PA. workers
A Pennsylvania lawmaker says a new law aimed at ensuring that employees on projects using public money are legal residents should be extended to all employers in the commonwealth.
The law going into effect in the new year requires contractors and subcontractors on public work projects totaling $25,000 or more to use the federal E-Verify system to check the immigration status of their workers.
Penalties range from warnings to three-year bans from state projects and fines up to $1,000.
Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Cranberry, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that he considers the measure "just the first step." He said he wants it to apply to all employers in the commonwealth.
But immigration advocates say the system can produce false results for which there is no clear appeals process.

I've been an atheist since my pre teens, and feel more comforted by my way of life every day, but today I am having a hard time. I have been out of work for a year now, and while my wife makes good money, we have a mind boggling amount of credit card/loan debt, and it's very quickly getting the best of us. So much so that we are seriously considering bankruptcy, and find that very scary. I've been applying for jobs for a long time, and today I pounded the pavement all day without a glimmer of hope.
I have a Christian radio station on one of my car stereo settings, that I listen to for a laugh once in a while, and put it on today. My moment of weakness came when they were talking the usual 'God-is-listening-and-has-a-plan-and-ask-for-help' mumbo jumbo, and I almost asked for assistance. I didn't of course, but I got a good understanding of why people talk to God, as pointless as it is. My problem is I am finding myself a little depressed and needing someone to boost my spirit. I am always optimistic, but I think you can be TOO optimistic, and now it's just gotten to the point where I think I'm just wishfully thinking. My wife is there, but I tend to be the supportive one in our relationship, and now it feels like my world is caving in.
I don't remember if I have a point, but I just had to get it off my chest

Sorry to hear about your problems.
A couple decades ago I went through two years of clinical depression, and I learned one basic fact about depression that helped me, and I hope it helps you (though I recognize that people are different).
Part of depression, I think you'll agree—and particularly in a situation like yours—is feeling like a leaf in the stream, like you are just being carried along by forces beyond your control.
I can tell you this: even if in the end you fail and what you fear happens, at least you'll feel like you fought the good fight, and that in itself will help you weather the storm with minimal depression, because you'll know that you didn't just let it happen.
I hope that helps.
great comments people
I see nothing wrong with praying, talking to god, and so forth. It doesn't mean you are acknowledging that there is an objective god out there; it means recognizing that humans process symbolically and semantically, and taking advantage of this trait to help you cope with tough times. Prayer is like meditation: it works because of its psychological (and physiological) effects, not because magical signals are being sent to an external listener.
You don't shun laughing at a funny movie just because it's fiction. If praying makes you feel better, helps focus your thoughts, and soothes you - go for it! Pray to Santa, pray to the Easter Bunny ... think of it as verbal meditation.
I like that Tom.
Thanks guys and girls. I've been in a depression before and made my way out of it. This feels more like hitting bottom. I'm really glad I don't drink or it could get nasty.
I am very sorry to hear you are going through hard times, Marc. I do know exactly how you feel. Don't be nearly as scared of bankruptcy as of religion. Bankruptcy can actually change things in the real world by relieving you of some or all of your debt. Religion will just give you more burdens in the long run. Religion is a predator, like Amway--it preys on those who are in extremis. Don't become prey.
I feel for you sir. I have been in similar situations myself. The first one was when my ex-wife decided to run off with someone with my children, and put me in a huge financial nightmare. I was the only one working full time, and she handled the finances. She didn't pay bills, some for multiple months, kept my money and used it to move into an apt with her 'boyfriend'. I was left with a mortgage that was months behind, utilities being turned off etc. with no money. To make matters worse, she let the vehicle I financed for her get repossessed, and the bank was going after me for the balance. I had to declare bankruptcy to get out the situation I was in.
However I will tell you that while bankruptcy is definitely a big bad mark on your credit at first, it's not the end of the world. In some ways if you have a lot of negative marks on your credit, bankruptcy will actually help you. My credit has been higher in the past couple years than it was when I bought my house to begin with. Go figure. And within 2 years after the bankruptcy I was able to finance a $13,000 used car. What I did was give the bankruptcy some time to age, and got a starter credit card with a small limit (not the prepaid ones but with a real credit amount). And you just start building it back up. I have also paid everything on time 100% of the time since then. Doing something similar, it's not as bad as you think.
As for the moral aspect, if you feel you need to in order to survive, I would consider this. I really had to think hard through this myself. But given the circumstances I was in, I felt it was a justified decision.
Also I feel for you about not having a job. I have been unemployed since last June myself, and I have been working full time just to find one. I may finally be out of the woods soon, but I know what it's like. You are fortunate that your wife is with you and working to support your family. To contrast, think if you were in a situation like mine, where my ex is now kicking me while I'm down, using child support as a tool as I am unable to pay the full amount, when she has two household incomes with her boyfriend and is going on big vacations to Florida multiple times this year with my kids.
And yeah, it's easy to find a reason to appeal to something 'higher' when you feel crushed. It's probably one big reason religion found its place in humanity to begin with. With everything that reality presents from financial burdens to tsunamis, it helps ease the stress. I would find people that can help you, either mentally and/or physically. I'm sure people around you will help when they know what you're dealing with. I know I would love to help, knowing exactly what you're going through, if was able to.
Like Nelson said, keep your chin up bro. You'll make it through. It's not as bad as it feels at the moment. I hope all this helps.
Thanks Dennis. We have definitely learned some life long lessons, and will be passing them on to our daughter.
Sorry, you're having such a hard time. :( Give yourself credit for recognising that your urge to pray at a time of great stress was just you reaching for a crutch - just like alcohol and drugs. I veered back and forth not realising that for years. You know that the solution when you find it will be a practical one and things will pick up. I am sure you are right that you are a bit depressed and maybe some time spent in aerobic exercise will boost you and make you sleep better and feel more positive - although as you say, the situation is not positive. I hope things improve for you.
Well, if you think you are indulging in "wishful thinking" now, just wait until you turn to God for a job. Anyway, good luck!
Welcome to America, Waynster, but if you think we are crazy regarding religion, which we most certainly are, wait till you get a real feel for our politics; try living in Arizona, for instance. Or take a good look at our deep legacy of racism; try living in Sanford, Florida. Or send your child to the schools in the south, where ignorance is a source of pride. And hey, if you think your leaders were less than pefect, like Blair, or Cameron, or Thatcher, get a load of ours. George W. Bush, Sarah Palin; Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum...and the list goes on. These people are not only truly stupid, but ideologically dangerous.
You may feel you have good reason to criticize the country from which you emigrated; but Britain is where modern science was born and still flourishes; America is where it came to die. Britain has Richard Dawkins; we have Pat Robertson. Britain has the BBC; we have "Fox News."
This post is sure to draw responses something like, "If you don't like this country, then get out!" And that brings me to the last thing I think you need to know about America: we think we are better than any country in the world, since we have the most powerful military ever conceived; and because we have more millionaires and billionaires than anybody else. But our shortcomings are numerous and serious. After all, only one country in the world thinks it is entitled to build, possess, and USE nuclear weapons on innocent people, and it isn't Great Britain. As you become increasingly aware of our shortcomings, though, keep your mouth shut about it; Americans don't like to hear that other people in the world are as worthy of God's attentions as we.
As to my getting out? I already have, actually. I created my own little country within a country, where none of the insanity that is going on in America is likely to ever affect me. You might say I'm like the unabomber, only without any bombs other than rhetorical ones. Anyhow, being 76 years old, it is not going to be an issue for much longer.
Hi Dale
Believe me my friend I am very aware of the politics of the USA. In europe I read about Bush before he was even elected and immediately became very scared. At the time he was voted into office I was in a relationship with a girl from Atlanta and when visiting saw the effect of the whole Bush administration. I've seen the size of the churches in the south and it frightens me how much power it has and how much in bed with the politicians they all are. Religion and the Right is like one giant clusterfuck waiting to happen. And if Santorum or Gingrich end up in the White House sometime soon you won't see me for dust.
I am very lucky that where I do come from, whilst religion is somewhat quirky in its involvement in politics, any politician who stands up as a true christian in the UK is ridiculed and avoided like the plague - sadly here I know full well its a pre-requisite to the insane right.
I acknowledge there is much wrong with this country Dale - a lot that genuinely frightens me, especially with my newborn son and his future and education - but it is for a lot a progressive society and with the power given to the masses by the likes of the internet it can be changed. Christopher Hitchens loved and made this place his own when he could so easily have remained in the UK but instead he saw I believe that he could make a difference here and I think in a small way he did, at least by getting people to read his book which I am sure for many gave them the courage to try.
Yes I was lucky that we had Dawkins, the BBC. But here in the US there are a lot of great writers, thinkers and activists also and many more emerging. The internet is allowing the free press to be accessible to all and also I believe Fox is actually doing an awful lot to destroy itself (certainly News International with all the recent scandals of phone tapping are making people question journalism) and I think more people are fed up of being told what to think. There are choices and movements like this very site is bringing together people to stand up and be counted. Whilst I said there is a lot that scares me about being here, it is this standing here at a time when I feel a change is coming that makes it damn exciting to be here, especially as I think we can all be a part of that - you included.
And finally, I hope you are around a lot longer to see this change as it is people like your good self who can make this happen - I can't vote remember, but you can
Dale and Waynester.... very well said!
... and Marc you have just had the misfortune of being in the USA during the worse possible time period in the last 160 years, it certainly hasn't been like this since the market crash of 1920s! We have had, in the immediate last 15 years the supposedly most godly and yet most godless hypocrites on the face of the earth... because greedy imperialists require good sheep and thoughtless followers, they have used Christianity as a bait and switch game to take what used to be folks with some common sense and a few liberties into the present adle pated idiots who blindly follow the loudest voice with the most money backing them up.
I am, in no small way completely disgusted by what a few greedy mega capitalists have done to the formerly free 'Can Do' country I was raised in and loved! They have bought our government so that it no longer serves the majority, but only a fat few, divided the nation and conquered it with lies, fear and hate mongering... and then proceeded to crash the global economy for fun and profit... none of this having a thing to do with what used to be considered a 'Christian' conscience. Shame on us for letting this happen without a groan or a whimper, let alone a gathering of revolutionary ire towards those responsible.
Pray? Hell I pray everyday for a miracle and I'm the most godless heathen I know! Because at this point we're all in that filthy fox hole with no hope in sight, with the devils behind and in front of us and our dazed brethren to the left and right of us. Why do you think religion was created in the first place? To explain the unexplainable, give an excuse for shit happening... as if being good and appeasing the gods ever changed squat.. and to meekly volunteer to be controlled by a few. Aarghhh.
As for you Marc? Be brave and true to the good and righteous in you, volunteer, join a movement, have a voice, do something with your time for those even less fortunate than you, gestate, create, find a niche, network, reorganize, reconnect to this unfortunate new world not of your making...... don't stay home and self flagellate.... a tsunami of greed did it.... IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT!

Margot Robbie Brunette Hair Change in Z for Zachariah
Do You Recognize Margot Robbie as a Brunette?
Since Margot Robbie took the silver screen in The Wolf of Wall Street, she's been gaining cred as one of Hollywood's sexiest blondes — which is why we were so shocked when she shared a photo on Instagram of herself sans makeup with mousy brown hair. The caption read "First day on set for Z! She ain't a Duchess no more." It was in reference to her upcoming role in the sci-fi flick Z for Zachariah, for which she made this major hair-hue change.
But perhaps Margot's makeover wasn't so random. As she recently told our friends at POPSUGAR Australia, "Every time I see the words blonde bombshell it kind of makes me cringe! If I can lose the blonde for a bit, I'd be happy."
She went on: "I'm about to jump on a plane so I haven't spoken to the director about it — but I think it needs to be a mousey brown color for this role. Keeping it very limp, very of what it is — boring hair! I need the character to look as young as possible and I tend to look a little younger when my hair is a light brown color. So we're going to keep it very not done, and maybe put a brown rinse through it so it looks like a mousey brown."
We understand she need to go from Marilyn to Audrey for this role, but we want to know if you're a fan.

Today With Sean O Rourke Thursday 27 March 2014
(Listen back to episodes of 'Today with Sarah McInerney' here)
The mid-morning current affairs magazine with the stories of the day, sharp analysis, sports coverage, in-depth features and consumer interest.
Sean O'Casey was one of the greatest and most polemical Irish playwrights and social critics of the 20th century. His turbulent life and times are the subject of A Song for the Green Crow, a dramatic tribute, at Liberty Hall Theatre next Sunday. This year is the fiftieth anniversary of his death.
Des Geraghty, a former president of SIPTU, wrote and arranged A Song for the Green Crow was in studio and Sean O'Casey's daughter Shivaun joined Sean on the line from her home in Devon.
Jayson Montenegro left the Philippines in 2004 for a new life in Ireland, leaving his three children behind with his parents. To this day he is still undocumented in Ireland. In a country that campaigns for as many as 50,000 of its citizens undocumented in United States, the plight of undocumented citizens in Ireland has obvious parallels.
He came in to studio this morning with Edel McGinley of the Migrant Rights Centre Ireland
We sometimes view it as an optional extra when planning a trip abroad but travel insurance can prove to be the most important item to pack in your bag.
Conor Brophy was here to look at the best available options for holiday cover.
US President Barack Obama is in Rome this morning to meet Pope Francis for the first time on his European tour, which has been dominated by the crisis in Ukraine. He's had three days of talks with EU leaders in the Netherlands and Brussels.
Joined now by BBC reporter based in Rome, Davie Willie.
Figures just out show that some hospitals are much more likely to carry out Caesarian sections than others.
According to the HSE statistics for 2012, over 40% of women in St Luke's Hospital Kilkenny had a C-Section.
This compares to just 23% in Sligo General.
The figures were obtained by a group which campaigns for reform of maternity services in Ireland.
Krysia Lynch, Co-Chair of the Association for Improvements in the Maternity Services spoke to Sean this morning.
Despite a resignation on Tuesday and numerous statements in the Dail yesterday, many questions remain about the controversies engulfing An Garda Siochana and the Minister for Justice.
Will a large number of court cases be tainted because of secret recordings at Garda stations?
What were the circumstances in which former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan stepped down?
And how can the government get itself out of this mess?
The issue of the Commissioner's departure was discussed in the Dail yesterday, with the Taoiseach confirmed that a government official had visited Martin Callinan before he stepped down.
Sean was joined by Tom Brady, Irish Independent Security Editor; Niamh Lyons, political correspondent with the Irish Daily Mail and by barrister, Dara Robinson.
Presenter: Sean O'Rourke

There have been hundreds of studies done by psychologists and business strategists in order to find out how they can optimise office space/decor with productivity in the staff. A small but significant part of the atmosphere created in an office comes down to the partitions by which it is divided.
Listed below are the advantages of using wooden boards and glass screens as office partitions with regards to working environment and employee productivity.
Standard Partitions
- There is a defined area in which staff can call their own.
- If the material is made out of chip board or a thick cloth, staff can spruce up their work space by pinning personal items on there. This gives them an identity rather than just another username and login number.
- You're less exposed and, when you need to, can get your head down and finish by those important deadlines.
- There are far less distractions around the staff that will sway them from their tasks.
- There is also more privacy for those days when you just want to be left alone and not get involved in other activities around you.
Glass Panels
- Firstly, glass panels give a more open-plan feel to the office, making staff feel less stuffy and enclosed.
- They can lead to a brighter working area, ensuring any tired eyes early in the morning can properly wake up.
- There can be a more social vibe to the office which can lead to better working relationships, although this comes with the caveat that staff may socialise too much!
- There is a sense of belonging in that staff may feel more involved on tasks which they may not necessarily be assigned to, but are aware of its presence. Stops any feeling of isolation.
- Finally, the glass wall panels look stylish. A vibrant, interesting and modern office helps to perk up the spirits of its staff, even if it's just a little.
Research has suggested that office design greatly influences productivity. For example the colour scheme of an office can dictate the mood of staff i.e. reds make staff more tense and alert whereas blues make them feel calmer and more serene.
If there is less interaction between staff, through standard partitions dividing the office, then productivity will increase. However, motivation and job satisfaction tends to decrease which, in the long run, is bad for productivity.
If there are glass partitions, coupled with a more open plan office design, then there will be more interaction between staff for problem solving and an emphasis on team work. Of course, this could lead to the staff having more social conversations rather than work problem solving.
If you work in an office with either of these partitions, feel free to comment below to share your thoughts on how productivity is affected by it!

College Teachers: Please Give Generously
As the US continues its march towards restoring Dickensian working conditions, community college instructors in Kalamazoo, Michigan, are depending on donations to make it through January, due to a "miscommunication" over pay schedules.
Some highlights from the article. Serious medical condition? Good luck with that:
When the drive began last week, they first distributed aid to employees who had the greatest needs. "There was someone who has diabetes and won't get through the month without insulin," she said. "She got a gift card."
Speak out about your atrocious living conditions? Careful now - wouldn't want things to get any worse, would we?
"I have no discretionary money to put aside for this," said one part-time Kalamazoo Valley instructor, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing her job.
And my favorite: the luxurious lifestyle of the idle college professor - tinned food and all:
The anonymous instructor said she had received two gift cards and a small check, plus two cans of food—one of apricots and one of corn.
"The full-time teachers have stepped up for us," she said. "I am not out of the woods yet, but I probably won't go hungry."

I've been eagerly anticipating the new Age of Sigmar Summer Campaign (kicks off July 14th) and I have been frantically modeling and painting up my Stormcast Eternals force. I just finished up painting my first 1000pts. (going by the soon to be released Generals Handbook)
But I've got a few simple tricks to easily convert some models so you don't have to shell out tons of hard-earned dough.
The first and most obvious tip is to buy the AoS starter box if you're interested in playing either Stormcast or Chaos. You can find them online for around $80 at the moment and if you have a friend who's interested in going in on it with you, perfect! $40 will get you a 900 point Stormcast army...shell out a bit more for a 100 point hero and there's a nice even 1000 point "Vanguard" force. I added a Knight Azyros for my 1000 point list.
I played in a small local tournament (and incredibly ended up winng it!) that offered lots of AoS prize support. As a prize I got a box of Paladins. This kit is amazing as it contains enough extra bits to kit out of convert tons of other models. Retail is normally around $58, but honestly, for the extra bits you get and the amount of money you'll save by converting, makes this kit totally worth it.
I chose to build most of mine as Protectors ( with glaives). This freed up tons of hammers (Retributors) and axes (Decimators). I spent some time snooping around eBay and scored a few more Retributors from the starter box. I snipped off the hammer heads to make quick and easy Decimators by gluing on the spare axe head.
Original starter box Retributors on the left, Decimator conversions on the right...simple!
Next, I scored several Celestant on Dracoth (Vandus Hammerhand) models from the starter set. If you're cheap like me and don't mind several of the same model in a unit, then this will save you loads. I also bought a 4 pack of Prosecutor shields, also from eBay.
I decided convert two celestant models to Extremis Concussors and two to Extremis Desolators using spare heads, hammers and axe head bits from the Paladin box plus the shields.
This conversion requires a bit more clipping and filling in gaps with greenstuff, but the conversions are simple and quite easy.
Cutting off the head and axe are easy, but you'll have to fill in the gap on the shoulder pad.
Next up was to convert a starter box prosecutor prime into a Knight Azyros. Originally, I used a spare 40k Grey Knights sword in place of the hammer in the right hand and a lantern bit from an old Empire or Mordheim sprue for the left. It looked ok, but I ended up getting the 4 pack Warhammer Quest expansion and building the Knight Venator which has the sword and lantern to make an Azyros. I swapped out the grey knight sword and empire lantern for the proper bitz and this is what I ended up with.
Again, not bad, and it saves a bit of money.
I have a few more conversion ideas, such as converting a Retributor to a Knight Vexilor using the spare banners that I cut off from the Celestant on Dracoth models as well as converting a Lord Relictor into a Lord Celestant on foot.
I hope that I've helped to inspire you!!!
Ciao for now,
SC Glenn

Ashy pastel colors, such as Glass Green, Silver Peony and Lilac Hint.
Early summer flowers in Japan, especially hydrangeas that come in various shades of Blue and Pink.
Glass Green because it's a very unique shade of Pale Yellow with a slight cast of Green. It's more refreshing than Cream and richer than Pure White.
A sweatshirt with quilted leather shoulders in one of our original prints, the Decay print, which is inspired by plant cells under a microscope. I paired it with a matching print skirt with hidden chiffon panels for a more sophisticated look.
Lilac Hint because it's a perfect shade of Pale Blue that would complement the White furnishings in my bathroom.

JACKSON — A Democratic lawmaker said yesterday that Mississippi's Republican governor is a "fool" and a "hypocrite" for opposing Medicaid expansion.
Gov. Phil Bryant has said repeatedly during the past year that Mississippi, one of the poorest states in the nation, can't afford to add up to 300,000 people to the more than 640,000 who are already on the federal-state health insurance program for the needy. The state has about 3 million residents.
Rep. Steve Holland, D-Plantersville, is a former chairman of the House Public Health Committee. He said expanding Medicaid would provide coverage for people who work hard but can't afford insurance. He also said expansion would support thousands of health care jobs.
"I think you're a fool to turn your back on the working poor," Holland said in a hand-written note he was delivering to the governor yesterday. "Plus, you're a hypocrite to promote medical economic development and not have this means to pay for it. This is simple minded on your part."
Holland was using "means" as a synonym for "way," which is typical in legislative language.
Holland closed the note by saying to Bryant: "Get a life." Holland's signature included a smiley face, which he often uses on official documents, but he said the criticism is serious.
Under a federal health overhaul that President Barack Obama signed into law in 2010, states have the option of expanding Medicaid to people making up to 138 percent of the federal poverty level, or about $15,000 for an individual. Mississippi's current cutoff is about $5,500, and the state's program doesn't cover many able-bodied adults.
In a recent letter to Holland and other lawmakers, Bryant wrote: "Even a cursory glance at the state's budget will reveal that Mississippi simply does not have the resources for such expenditures. So, which government functions are you willing to cut and what taxes are you willing to levy upon your district to pay for a new entitlement?"
In response to Holland's note, Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock told The Associated Press: "Unfortunately Rep. Holland fails to tell the whole story that any expansion of Medicaid would impose enormous costs that would result in tax increases for hardworking Mississippians or cuts to critical spending in areas like education, public safety and economic development.
"Furthermore, Gov. Bryant is working to grow Mississippi's private-sector health care opportunities — something that will sustainably boost the state's economy and benefit Mississippians as a whole," Bullock wrote.
The 2010 law says the federal government would pay 100 percent of medical expenses for the newly qualified enrollees from 2014 to 2017. The federal share would be reduced to 90 percent by 2020, with each state paying the balance.
Bryant, Bobby Jindal of Louisiana, and Rick Perry of Texas are among the Republican governors opposing Medicaid expansion.
Republican Govs. Rick Scott of Florida, Chris Christie of New Jersey and John Kasich of Ohio say they favor expansion in their states.

Light fantastic … images captured by the remote camera. Frozen world … vision from beneath the Southern Ocean.
Australia's Antarctic researchers have taken a rare look at the luminous world under the polar sea ice, and brought it home.
A remotely operated underwater vehicle was sent into the frozen depths of the Southern Ocean about 3400 kilometres south-west of Hobart to find vibrant light under the jumbled pack ice. It came back with an abstract artist's palette of blues and greens.
"The ROV's icy dives transported us into a different world," the voyage's science leader, Klaus Meiners, of the Australian Antarctic Division, said in Hobart on Friday.
On the late-winter voyage the icebreaker Aurora Australis punched into the ice and stayed fixed while researchers fanned out to gather data.
They drilled a hole in the ice beside the ship to lower the ROV through, then operated it by a joystick as its cameras took them on an under-ice ride.
"The subsurface of the ice was like a badly eroded mountain range, with Antarctic krill and patchy areas of algae," Dr Meiners said.
Satellite observation by the British Antarctic Survey and NASA recently showed the Antarctic sea ice was expanding slightly, in contrast to the Arctic's dramatic loss.
More powerful winds accompanying climate change appear to be blowing the ice away from Antarctica's coastline in some areas.
But Dr Meiners said climate models predicted sea ice in Antarctica could decline by 35 per cent in volume by the end of the century.
"So understanding the distribution of sea ice algae will enable us to assess the impacts of climate change on the Antarctic marine ecosystems into the future," he said.
The researchers also used a high-volume water pump to capture live krill for the division's aquarium in Hobart.
"Most krill research has been conducted on adult krill during the Antarctic summer and only a few studies have focused on the larval stages during winter," AAD krill aquarium manager, Rob King, said.
This time the ice pack also caught the Aurora Australis, holding it for 10 days before the ship was able to punch itself free and return to Hobart.
The original release of this article first appeared on the website of Shanghai Night Net.

Anyone know the cli admin credentials to get in to one of these?
I wish I knew how to get it out of the firmware file itself.
Anyone know how to use binwalk and teach me? Ha ha.
I want to use the CLI to automate tasks like rebooting this thing at 3am when I'm asleep, back up the config every once in a while, that kind of thing. Its annoying that Qw won't tell me even though I own the modem.
Just figured I'd post in here cause I can't seem to find anything about the CLI admin password anywhere on the net. I'm guessing Qw guards that... they probably force remote access so they can troubleshoot etc etc but hey... it's MY modem and I got ripped-- er I mean bought it from them fair n square. lol

I'm not sure if I told you this, but if we lived in the same city, I'd make her my new B-F-F, stat.
She's just that great. And I mean that.
Keep on reading and you'll see what I mean.
And yes, the text below IS Laurie Turk "talking". She's guest posting here today.
Ms. Laurie Turk, the original Tip Junkie is here. HERE. I feel like a celebrity. This is just as exciting {or more exciting, really} as when one of my favorite authors actually visited my blog, commented on it, AND linked up.
I hope that you enjoy this Thanksgiving week, finding many things to be grateful for!
I just love to focus on gratitude and family traditions during November. Here as several activities you can do with your family this week.
World of Homemaking does the Turkey Day Awards! Ask each family member for their nominations and be sure everyone gets an award. For example, "best haircut of the year" or "toughest survivor of a home renovation." You make awards in these cute pine cone scrolls tutorial.
A tradition that would be fun to start is a Thanksgiving Book. Every year each member of the family is given a sheet of paper to write down the things for which they are thankful. You then put the sheets into a binder and save them so that next year you can look back and see what everyone wrote the year before and then compare it to the current year.
A Little Life has a tutorial on how to make these fun gratitude leaves.
High Heeled Mama made a gratitude garland.
I found this idea from Country Living. On strips of paper, write quotes or phrases. Fasten strip at end with double-sided tape, so it is slightly smaller than the glass's circumference; place on each glass. Invite guests, when seated, to read quote aloud.
This is Jennifer's picture grateful album with a mini tutorial so you can do it too!
Debbie has a Thanksgiving blessing book to help focus on the what we're grateful for.
I found this Family Gratitude Spinner Project over on Ali's blog. What a beautiful way to capture what your family is grateful for this year.
Amber gratitude tree is beautiful, it's a Hallmark tree altered for Thanksgiving.
Jo-Ann's family tradition; every year the children make their thankful lists on the chalkboard in their kitchen. Jo-Ann takes a picture of it to capture these special blessings.
Chocolate on my Cranium's tradition: Every year we each have a thanks tree and a giving tree. We add leaves to each tree each day writing something we are thankful for and something we have done to give or help others.
Kendra's family is working with our kids for the whole month of November on cultivating an "attitude of gratitude." So she made a gratitude tree. Every night at dinner time, each member of the family comes up with one specific thing they are thankful for each day and we write it on a leaf and post it on the wall.
Rebecca's family's tradition; She makes a thankful turkey and throughout the month everyone writes something they're are thankful for and adds it to the turkey. He gets nice and fluffy by Thanksgiving.
To make planning your traditions really easy this year, print out all of them on 2 pages and simply circle the one's you want to do!
THANK YOU, Laurie!

WASHINGTON — The government has announced new online child privacy rules it says give parents greater control over the personal information that can be collected from preteens on the Internet.
The Federal Trade Commission said the new regulations it issued Wednesday ensure that a 14-year-old law, the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, keeps pace with evolving technology, including cellphones, software apps and social networking services.
Personal information about kids under 13 that cannot be collected without a parent's permission now includes a child's location as well as photos, videos and audio that contain a human image or voice.
The rules offer several new methods for verifying a parent's consent, the FTC said, including electronically scanned consent forms and video conferencing. Emailed consent is allowed in some cases.

Actor Vince Vaughn said he's "glad" a controversial "gay" joke in his new comedy isn't being scrapped.
"I'm glad to hear it's staying the movie," Vaughn said Wednesday, referring to the now notorious scene in "The Dilemma" where Vaughn's character Ronny Valentine riffs on why "electric cars are gay."
In the film, Valentine describes the car as lacking rock n' roll cool, in a "my-parents-are-chaperoning-the-dance-gay" way.
U.S. & World
Universal yanked the scene from "Dilemma" trailers last month in the wake of a rash of teen suicides and amid outcry from CNN's Anderson Cooper and the gay-rights group GLAAD.
On "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Cooper had cautioned against using the word "gay" as a punchline, and warned that "words do have power and they're used like weapons."
But "Dilemma" director Ron Howard argued last week that Valentine's offensive personality was central to his character and nixing the scene from the movie in the face of controversy would "endanger comedy as both entertainment and a provoker of thought."
"I don't strip my films of everything that I might personally find inappropriate," Howard told the Los Angeles Times. "Comedy or drama, I'm always trying to make choices that stir the audience in all kinds of ways."
Vaughn, who previously spoke out in support of the scene, applauded Howard's move Wednesday on the Q100 Bert Radio Show.
Using the epithet "wasn't a derogatory term," he said, Usmagazine reported. "We clarified within the joke [that it was] not 'homosexual-gay' but, you know, your parents are chaperoning a dance."
He went on to ague that as a comedic actor "tensions" revealed by off-color conversations were "the point."
"We're not trying to hurt anyone's feelings," he said, according to Us. "If there's tensions there, ultimately, it brings us together, it makes us more comfortable."

There are different ways to lose weight but finding the right weight loss management program is the key to eliminating those excess pounds successfully. People try different ways that range from juicing, fad diets, low calorie intake, and regular exercise. You can lose weight in different ways such as diets but the secret to success is to find a program that will sustain that weight loss for a long time. This should be a program that you follow religiously every day.
Here are ways to find that program that may suit you:
weight loss drinks, la weight loss, lose weight in a week,
A good weight loss management program should have different stages. The stages should have a step-by-step method that will introduce you to the program easily. Eventually the program should be able to help you maintain the weight you have reached after your weight loss.
Your diet should be something that you like. The foods you eat should be those that you enjoy. If you are juicing and taking carrot juice, you must like carrots for you to enjoy and stick to the diet. Do not follow a diet which will make you eat food you do not like as this will make you give up before you are successful in your weight loss goals.
You should also choose a diet that offers a scientific explanation as to why it will make you lose weight. You must also be satisfied with the explanation given and it must make sense to you.
Make sure you know all the stages of the weight loss management program. Ask yourself if you can really follow them. If you think the stages will be difficult to pursue, losing weight will be a complicated experience for you.
When you have chosen the program, jot down the goals you have set for yourself. Give yourself a timetable as to how much weight you think you can lose in a week. Afterwards, set an objective as to how much weight you will lose in half a year. According to studies, the safest weight loss is two pounds a week.
For another stage of your weight loss management program, write the food you are allowed to eat in a journal, post-its or a white board. This will make you remember what you are allowed to eat. This is very important because people do not realize just how much they are eating. Make sure you have written down all the different foods allowed on your plan.
To make losing weight easy for you, fill your refrigerator with the food you are allowed to eat. Do not keep the foods that are forbidden or that are triggers for you in the house. If you have already bought such food, you can give them to the homeless or to a charity organization. Other people would benefit from what you do not need.
Explain to your family and friends that you are undergoing a weight loss management program. They will be able to support and encourage you in your quest. Their support will be most helpful during the critical and difficult stages of the program.
Losing weight is a hard task. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a program that will make it easier for you. The best thing to do is research all the plans there are about losing weight and then choose the suitable weight loss management program for you.
Remember always consult with your health care provider before embarking on any change in your health care programs, such as diet. Do not fall in the trap of a "fad diet" that promises tremendous weight loss at a rapid pace; you will only be disappointed and you will probably gain back more weight than you lose. Your health care provider can advise you whether the plan you have chosen is a safe and effective way to reduce your weight.

I saw Pablo every day of his life, unless I was out of town, which was sometimes.
I saw Pablo.
Pablo saw me.
Pablo saw all of us.
He was the kind of person who looked you in the eye. In the eyes. Both of them. At the same time.
Today, I looked at the IN box in my email program, and saw a note from Scott Henriksen, a dear friend of ours, and the dad of Pablo's friend Eli. Scott is a cinematographer, and therefore has a camera with him at all times. He's just that kind of guy. Scott has documented the lives of our circle of friends since before I was in our circle of friends. Scott has photographed and video'd the children of all of us. I love beautiful photos, and so having Scott's photos of Grady and Pablo has been a real gift.
What I saw in Scott's email was completely unexpected: he'd found photos of Pablo that no one has ever seen. And, for all my love of Scott's photos and how they've become the memories of our world of friends and kids and holidays and stuff, three of the photos (the best ones) were not taken by Scott. The photos were taken by Scott's nine-year-old son Eli.
Here's the note Scott sent:
Hey you guys. I got some film back from the lab yesterday and I found some Pablo pics that Eli shot when he grabbed my camera at Tracy's birthday party at Mexico City. At least I think it was Tracy's birthday. We were all together anyway. There's some pics from Pablo's bday that were on another roll too. I love them. I hope you do too.I clicked the link, typed in the password, and sat, stunned and in tears. Tears of joy. Tears of sadness. Lots of tears. Weeping wall.
Clicking on the first image, I saw Pablo looking at me—straight into me.
But then I realized, he wasn't looking at me at all. This is a photo of my son looking at his friend Eli. I'd been around Pablo and Eli a million times, running, screaming, going mental. I'd been around Pablo in many ZIP codes, many cities, many states, doing this very class of behavior—kid stuff. But I'd never seen Pablo looking at one of his friends.
So, nearly nine months after Pablo's death, I am seeing him in a way I'd never before seen.
Remarkable. Simply remarkable.
This photo was taken at the restaurant Mexico City in Los Feliz. Pablo and I had just gone to the Steven Alan store down the street and bought that shirt and bowtie. I have the exact same shirt, in Papa size. I almost wore that bowtie today—it's Friday Tie Day here at Dangerbird.
Here's another great shot, clearly framed by a kid shooting a kid doing kid stuff:
And this one, I recall, was Pablo hitting the wall, wanting to go home. You can see in his eyes how tired he is. Knowing what we now know, we can only imagine what was going on inside his little body. This was only a couple weeks before he passed away. I can see the tumors taking away his smile and his energy, and it makes me angry.
Here are two photos that Scott took at Pablo's sixth birthday party at Silverlake Park. It was Sunday June 21 2009.

SignalSilence® Aurora A/AIK siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit Aurora A/AIK expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
Aurora kinases belong to a highly conserved family of mitotic serine/threonine kinases with three members identified among mammals: Aurora A, B, and C (1,2). Studies on the temporal expression pattern and subcellular localization of Aurora kinases in mitotic cells suggest an association with mitotic structure. Aurora kinase functional influences span from G2 phase to cytokinesis and may be involved in key cell cycle events such as centrosome duplication, chromosome bi-orientation and segregation, cleavage furrow positioning, and ingression (3). Aurora A is detected at the centrosomes, along mitotic spindle microtubules, and in the cytoplasm of mitotically proliferating cells. Aurora A protein levels are low during G1 and S phases and peak during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation of Aurora A at Thr288 in its catalytic domain increases kinase activity. Aurora A is involved in centrosome separation, maturation, and spindle assembly and stability. Expression of Aurora B protein also peaks during the G2/M phase of the cell cycle; Aurora B kinase activity peaks at the transition from metaphase to the end of mitosis. Aurora B associates with chromosomes during prophase prior to relocalizing to the spindle at anaphase. Aurora B regulates chromosome segregation through the control of microtubule-kinetochore attachment and cytokinesis. Expression of both Aurora A and Aurora B during the G2/M phase transition is tightly coordinated with histone H3 phosphorylation (4,5); research investigators have observed overexpression of these kinases in a variety of human cancers (2,4). Aurora C localizes to the centrosome from anaphase to cytokinesis and both mRNA and protein levels peak during G2/M phase. Although typical Aurora C expression is limited to the testis, research studies report overexpression of Aurora C is detected in various cancer cell lines (6).

Flyers surge past Coyotes for 5-3 victory
- The Flyers erased a two-goal deficit to beat the Coyotes 5-3
- Jacob Voracek put the Flyers ahead with 8%3A08 left in the third
- Claude Giroux added an empty-net goal with 30 seconds left
GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Down two goals in the second period and looking sluggish in the final game of a grueling Western trip, Jay Rosehill tried to spark the Flyers.
Rosehill dropped his gloves and challenged Paul Bissonnette, who obliged in what turned into a lengthy, two-round, blow-filled fight in front of the Philadelphia bench.
The Flyers were a different team the rest of the way, as Jakub Voracek scored the winner with 8:08 left and the Philadelphia finished with four unanswered goals in a 5-3 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes on Saturday night.
"I thought it was a great job from Rosie," Flyers coach Craig Berube said. "He's very smart at that. He picks the right spots and he's very good at his job."
Scott Hartnell, Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds also scored for the Flyers and Claude Giroux added an empty-net goal with 30 seconds left.
Steve Mason made several difficult saves late to preserve Philadelphia's fourth win in five games out West.
"I thought this trip changed our road mentality a little bit," Berube said. "We discussed and talked about a lot of the little things we have to do on the road to win hockey games."
The little things are ailing the Coyotes, with Mike Smith struggling in goal again in a mistake-filled performance that left coach Dave Tippett lamenting "inconsistent" play and not ruling out roster changes.
"We're at the halfway mark and I'm sure (GM) Don (Maloney) and I will talk the next couple days," Tippett said. "We've got to evaluate where we are and where we want to get to."
Rob Klinkhammer, Lauri Korpikoski and Mikkel Boedker scored for the Coyotes, who led 3-1 late in the second period but couldn't hold on to spoil captain Shane Doan's return from a rare illness.
Simmonds tied it with 15:38 left when he knocked in a rebound on the power play for his team-high 14th goal and his ninth in as many games.
Then Keith Yandle's turnover in his own zone proved costly in Phoenix's second straight loss. Voracek collected the puck and beat Smith between the legs with a wrist shot.
Philadelphia killed a late power play as Mason stopped 26 shots.
The Coyotes struggled defensively as they played without one of their top defenseman, Oliver Ekman-Larsson, who was injured Thursday on a hit by Columbus' Derek MacKenzie that earned him a three-game suspension.
Not even Doan's return from Rocky Mountain Fever could spark Phoenix.
Doan last played Dec. 4 before he started getting headaches, joint pain and severe fatigue. He was eventually diagnosed with the rare disorder that affects the lining of blood cells and is often contracted from bites by ticks.
Doan looked a step slow at times and his shifts were short. He logged 18:38 of ice time and his line failed to muster many scoring chances.
"He was all right," Tippett said. "He probably played a few more minutes that I had planned on."
After a scoreless first period in which the Coyotes went 0 for 3 on the power play, the teams combined for three goals in a 1:42 stretch early in the second.
Klinkhammer and Korpikoski scored just over a minute apart to make it 2-0 Phoenix amid shaky back line play by the Flyers.
Berube immediately called a timeout, and the Flyers responded 17 seconds later when Hartnell beat Smith on the glove side to extend his points streak to seven games.
But the Coyotes answered again at 6:47. Catching the Flyers on a line change, Yandle threaded a pass to Boedker at the blue line, and he skated in alone on a breakaway for his career-high 12th goal.
"These are games that in the past we would have played smart enough and our whole thing would have been sound enough where Philly felt like they played a really good game but didn't win," Tippett said. "We haven't had that feeling enough this year yet."
Shortly after the fight, the Flyers got within 3-2 with 2:45 left in the second period when Brayden Schenn banged in Vincent Lecavalier's no-look pass from behind the net.
The comeback had begun.
"I think if someone told us before the road trip that we would get eight points we would take it right away," Voracek said. "It's a huge win for us."
