Alicia writes: I don't need a reason to eat bunches of fresh blueberries — I simply love the little blue-black orbs. The latest studies are also showing that the blueberry is a virtual powerhouse of great nutrition.
While reports don't always say (or definitively prove) exactly what blueberries do in your body, there seems to be no dispute that they're very, very good for you. Here are some of the recently reported highlights:
• Researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center rank blueberries No. 1 in antioxidants when compared with 40 other fresh fruits and veggies. Antioxidants help neutralize the free radicals that can lead to cancer.
• Blueberries are packed with potassium, calcium, folic acid and vitamins A, C and E.
• Blueberries are storehouses of fiber — 1 /2 cup has 2 grams of dietary fiber and only 40 calories.
• Because blueberries prevent harmful bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary track, they help ensure urinary heath.
• Blueberries can delay the damaging effects of age-related conditions such as memory loss and loss of balance.
There are a lot of good reasons to eat as many blueberries as we can during the season, and in addition to the health, there's one more in my book: Blueberries are wash-and-go. No peeling, no pitting, no chopping.
Toss a few on your salad, whip up today's recipe for Blueberry Vinaigrette, or just eat them one at a time like candy. Your body will thank you!
Menu Suggestion: Triple Blue Dinner Salad, whole wheat crackers with sweet cream butter and iced tea.

ARLINGTON — Arlington Martin and Fort Worth Paschal went back and forth for most of the game, but an 11-2 Warriors' run to end the third quarter and start the fourth was the difference in Martin's 57-44 District 3-5A victory Friday night.Before that spurt, Paschal had answered every challenge to stay in the game. The Panthers rallied from a five-point deficit to tie the game at 15 at the end of the first quarter. They rallied from five down in the second quarter to tie it at 22 on a 3-pointer by Arman Garrett and trailed by three at the half. "We came out of the locker room and got off to a good start and our defense gave us some good looks," Martin coach Jeff Plemons said. "We got a couple of easy transition baskets, and I told them we need to make sure the lead grows to 12, 14 and so on and not let them back in the game."But Martin (10-6, 3-0 in 3-5A) made sure there wouldn't be an answer once the fourth quarter started. Senior Nick Babb scored and was fouled for a three-point play, and Josh Swearingin scored the next six points to open a 49-37 lead.Paschal (11-6, 1-2) committed seven turnovers in the final quarter and made only 11 of 36 shots in the final three quarters."We really are an experienced team and coming down the stretch you want the ball in Nick's hands — he is a three-year starter," Plemons said. "We either want him shooting or distributing the ball."Martin was led by Babb with 15 points and Swearingin added 12. Andrew Dotson chipped in 11. Paschal was led by Dylan Thomas with 10 and Tyrik Price with nine.Martin opened a 34-27 lead, but Paschal rallied and Patrick Studey's 3-pointer cut the Warrors' lead to 36-33 with 2:12 left in the third. From there Martin went on its game-clinching run.

Update: I was made aware of the fact that Ron Resch discovered this origami tessellation before Eric Gjerde. I have updated the list of designers accordingly.
This model somewhat reminds me of a hedgehog. It's basically a tessellation consisting of many small waterbomb bases.
Paper: 19.5cm square of stiff paper, 115gsm
Model: 11cm x 11cm x 1cm when pressed flat
i would really like this if i could print a cp without buying this book
I know this is probably going to sound dumb,but do you know if there is such a thing called a waterbomb?Also,why is the base called a watebomb in the first place?I'm just curious is all.
There's a waterbomb model, which you can actually fill with water and throw. The waterbomb base is how you start the waterbomb model. As with most bases, they're named after a well-known model that starts with that base. Hope this clarifies it.
Check http://dev.origami.com/images_pdf/trad_page2.pdf for diagrams for the full waterbomb model.
-- Sara
by what i understand a tessellation
is an origami that can be repeated
know my origami doesnt look like a tessellation, but neither does the apple (that is why i asked)
well i am my able to make origami from a 32 and 64 (and hopefully a 16...)
would that count my origami as a tessellation?
This is totally taken out of context. Which model are you speaking of? :)
In any case, the apple by Shuzo Fujimoto isn't really a tessellation, but it's a tessellation-style apple. As to the exat definition of tessellations - you may also say that the clover folding and the hydrangea aren't tessellations. But does it *really* matter what the exact definition is? I'd say just enjoy folding, and don't worry too much about how to define the different areas of origami - there will always be an overlap and gray areas. :)
-- Sara
Would you make a video about how to make more waterbombs because i could see that there is more squares on this one than the one on the video you made.
It's the same technique, just start with a grid that has more divisions.
-- Sara
Does it have the same principles as the the traditional water bombs do?
(such as holding water for a sufficient time, in which allows it to be thrown against some one)
It's not a closed shape, so .... no.
that's really cool! it's great how it's more 3d than just tesselaty.
yeah you're right! it does look like a hedgehog. by the way, the crease pattern can be found on the origami forum by Mark Leonard:

text: Throughout the world, cumin is second in popularity only to black pepper. Americans tend to use it mostly for chili, but its pungent flavor is a must in Indian, Mexican, Asian, Northern African, Middle Eastern and Latin American cooking. It is gaining popularity here in America as various international dishes become more commonplace in our kitchens, and our tastes for Mexican foods increase, as both salsa and tacos are heavily seasoned with cumin. Here at Penzeys, we grind our cumin fresh in small lots to a very fine 40 mesh, which has given us national acclaim. Even our most demanding "old country" customers, who would never dream of ordering ground spices, have begun using our ground cumin, since it is such a fine, fresh powder. The high-oil Iranian cumin is still not available due to the U.S. Government's ban on trade with Iran.

While we always thought the TT was a slick-looking and fairly sporty set of wheels, Audi's TTS iteration was the first TT that really, truly, felt like an actual sports car while driving one. A 265-hp K04 turbo engine, matched with Quattro all-wheel drive and a lightning-fast S tronic dual-clutch manu-matic transmission, made it a blast to drive in every sense.
California Bay Area resident Jason Crouch felt exactly these same sentiments. He's not new to the project car game, having previously built projects based on a Saab 900 and more recently an Audi A3 outfitted with a shaved and molded Abt body kit, which gave the car a stylistic nod to the European-market S3. His experience with that car got him hooked on Audi, but left him craving more performance.
If I could have bought an S3 for its engine I would have, because I wanted something with a tighter wheelbase, Crouch says. The look of the Mk II TTS sat better with me than the Mk I TT did, and I think it has more R8 DNA in its bloodstream. Aesthetics were big, but I wanted all-wheel drive, the dual-clutch gearbox, and the 265-hp variant of the 2.0T, which is only available here in the TTS.
Crouch, who is a videographer and video editor by trade, chronicled his Audi's build in a series of online Webisodes filmed specifically for the Internet. Which could make this the most famous and widely exposed TTS in the world.
And the build itself fits in nicely with the OEM plus method of modification that we've documented in the past. I like to do OEM-type mods, says Crouch. Like a European version, or an RS version. That translates into tasteful mods performed by reputable companies, the sorts of performance and cosmetic tweaks you might find from the factory.
The first item on Crouch's list was contacting Forge Motorsport, one of the only operations that had pieces that would carry over from the 2.0T to the TTS's K04 turbo engine, like a prototype oil catch can and diverter valve. He also made a drive down to Neuspeed in Camarillo, Calif., where Aaron Neumann and crew painstakingly test-fitted their own components to see what could be adapted to the project.
One of the more crucial aspects of the performance project build in Crouch's mind, a point he revisited again and again over the phone, was vehicle stance. To him, it was critical to get the chassis settled over the custom HRE alloys in a proper manner. Using aftermarket components with the Audi Magnetic Ride can cause problems with the system, throwing fault codes and fighting with an aesthetically pleasing ride height. According to Crouch, using KW Suspension Variant 3 coilovers is the only option.
No one else had come up with a solution to be able to put coilovers on the car. KW came out with these cool little modules that form a looping circuit to tell the car the active suspension is still active, therefore avoiding any code errors. Those modules are similar to others we've experienced with other active-damping systems, like BMW M's EDC. The KWs have been paired with a Neuspeed rear antiroll bar fitted on adjustable Neuspeed links.
Crouch also heard through his networking that APR was looking for a development TTS to develop its own Stage 3 turbo upgrade for that platform. The problem was that Crouch was on the Left Coast and APR is in Alabama. So he made the drive and chronicled the resulting epic road trip for his webisode series.

Lady Brigit inghean ui Dhomhnaill found the SCA in the fall of 1989. Her first event was Quest for Wit and Wisdom in May of 1990. Began as a member of House Bloodguard but left the house in 1991 to focus on participating with her local Barony.
Born in Ireland in the year 811 AD, Brigit is the third grand-daughter of the Dhomhnaill clan chief. Brigit found she had more skill with weapons than with a needle so she trained in weapons fighting for many years, much to her parent's chagrin. Upon coming of age Brigit left home and joined a mercenary band with whom she had made friends. She has travelled throughout Ireland, England and the European mainland and has been as far east as Byzantium.
Brigit has been a member of several different households. She is currently co-founder of House Hammerfall, a Viking Household based in the Barony of Carillion in the East Kingdom of the SCA.

Dear Editor:
What's the real deal behind Fast and Furious?
Recently, our Attorney General, Eric Holder, was held in contempt of congress for his alleged role in the botched gun-running scheme of our federal government. In case any of our readers missed it, this sad episode featured our Department of Justice (DOJ) buying thousands of guns with our tax dollars from licensed gun deals in the U.S. and turning them over to the drug cartels in Mexico. Although this sounds incredible, it's true. Two of our border patrol officers have been killed as a result of this infamous exercise.
Our congressional investigators looking into this disgraceful event want to know who authorized it and when was it discovered. Who and when may be legitimate questions, but what I want them to also ask WHY? When both the Mexican government and the drug-rich cartels already have enough guns to conduct this war, why would our administration stick to its long (read: lying) nose into their business and offer the druggies more guns?
Our DOJ says they wanted to trace the guns to the heads of the cartels. WHY ? Didn't they have enough guns already? Are we at war with Mexico? Did they want to enhance the lie that 90% of all guns used in this war came from the U.S.?
I want everyone in the U.S. to know the real reason. That is this administration's attempt to enact more gun control on our already heavily-regulated retail gun dealers and especially us as gun owners and all American citizens. This is in direct violation of the Second Amendment of our Constitution which guarantees us the right to bear arms.
One thing is certain. This administration will delay this investigation as long as possible. But we must not forget. We must expose this travesty for what it is - another attempt to destroy our freedom. Remember this in November.

Predictions 2 thru 5 after the jump:
Carl Peterson is no longer hanging around Arrowhead Stadium, which means second-round picks should be having a huge impact, even as rookies.
Are (Dexter) McCluster and Arenas having a huge impact? Based on preseason, the answer is no. While they've both proven to be exciting, athletic players who can change a game on special teams, they have to be more.
Arenas has to make an impact on defense. In a perfect world, he'd challenge for Brandon Carr's starting job by season's end. If he's Allen Rossum, a great "cornerback" who has elite return skills but never plays defense, Pioli reached on the pick.
Wow! I couldn't disagree more with all of that. The Chiefs were burned for big plays often last year partly due to the drop off in talent after Flowers and Carr. Arenas will play on defense and he closes that gap. The nickel corner is becoming increasingly important in the NFL because of the number of WR's on the field at the same time. If Arenas can become a solid to great nickel back, then he was certainly worth the pick. If he eventually bumps Carr down to that role, even better.
If he continues to pile up the return yardage like it appears he will, that's a big bonus! Shortening the field changes games in the NFL. He's going to take it to the house multiple times this year, and if it's done at critical times, he could add multiple wins alone.

How to create an Internet marketing plan for your business
Today I'll talk about internet marketing, yes, may be useful. okay, Creating the internet marketing plan that is right for each individual business is very important. This means that the business owner must know their objectives clearly, so that they can continue to develop the best advertising plan available for their company. The internet is so widespread, that there are many different approaches depending on the budget and the level of development that the company is looking to reach. Some companies are only looking for a basic website to market themselves, whereas others are looking for higher visibility within their target demographic.
Understanding the objectives of the company is the key to maximizing the potential of a company is advertising budget. Using the internet for targeted advertising has become very popular over the last 15 years. This is because email lists are easy to formulate for any company and can be purchased much cheaper than a telemarketing list. Purchasing these lists is a legal practice provided the people involved in the list have agreed to solicitations from third party companies. This means that the average personal investment in time into internet marketing does not have to be very involved.
There are paid for click advertising campaigns that can be used by smaller advertising companies. These companies pay to advertise their business on a site that reaches their target demographic. Every time someone chooses to click on their advertisement, they pay a percentage either of their advertising budgets for any revenue generated from the click to the advertising partner. This is beneficial because it allows tracking of purchase rate through each advertising method. There are also formats of advertising that are free. These are linked exchanges on web sites. Trading hyper links between web sites is a tremendous way to use free advertising.
Many people subscribe to email bulletins. These can have small advertisements in between content. This is a successful way to reach potential clients with a few lines of text. This will help the average person to expand their business through networking with a larger potential client base for what is usually considered a very small investment. Larger companies can bring about more detailed presentations such as website video and audio presentations that market their product. This is a much more involved process and requires a greater amount of financial investment.
The Internet can also be used to find individuals that will do personal grassroots marketing through social networking web sites and other demographic based internet chat areas. You can learn more about internet marketing with Ryan Deiss or can visit the blog page Perry Belcher.

Comedian Russell Brand penned an open letter titled "Dear Amy" outlining Winehouse's extraordinary talent, the vicious nature of addiction and the actions society needs to take to prevent losing more gifted artists.
The letter below was posted on Russell Brand's personal website. Click here to see the original.
I was myself at that time barely out of rehab and was thirstily seeking less complicated women so I barely reflected on the now glaringly obvious fact that Winehouse and I shared an affliction, the disease of addiction. All addicts, regardless of the substance or their social status, share a consistent and obvious symptom; they're not quite present when you talk to them.
They communicate to you through a barely discernible but un-ignorable veil. Whether a homeless smack head troubling you for 50p for a cup of tea or a coked-up, pinstriped exec foaming off about his "speedboat" there is a toxic aura that prevents connection. They have about them the air of elsewhere; that they're looking through you to somewhere else they'd rather be. And of course they are. The priority of any addict is to anaesthetise the pain of living to ease the passage of the day with some purchased relief.
From time to time I'd bump into Amy. She had good banter so we could chat a bit and have a laugh. She was "a character" but that world was riddled with half-cut, doped-up chancers. I was one of them. Even in early recovery I was kept afloat only by clinging to the bodies of strangers. So Winehouse, but for her gentle quirks, didn't especially register.
Then she became massively famous and I was pleased to see her acknowledged but mostly baffled because I'd not experienced her work and this not being the 1950's I wondered how a "jazz singer" had achieved such cultural prominence. I wasn't curious enough to do anything so extreme as listen to her music or go to one of her gigs. I was becoming famous myself at the time and that was an all consuming experience. It was only by chance that I attended a Paul Weller gig at the Roundhouse that I ever saw her live.
I arrived late and as I made my way to the audience through the plastic smiles and plastic cups I heard the rolling, wondrous resonance of a female vocal. Entering the space I saw Amy on stage with Weller and his band; and then the awe; the awe that envelops when witnessing a genius.
Shallow fool that I am I now regarded her in a different light -- the light that blazed down from heaven when she sang. That lit her up now and a new phase in our friendship began. She came on a few of my TV and radio shows, I still saw her about but now attended to her with a little more interest. Publicly though, Amy increasingly became defined by her addiction.
Our media, though, is more interested in tragedy than talent, so the ink began to defect from praising her gift to chronicling her downfall. The destructive personal relationships, the blood-soaked ballet slippers, the aborted shows, that YouTube madness with the baby mice. In the public perception, this ephemeral tittle-tattle replaced her timeless talent. This, and her manner in our occasional meetings, brought home to me the severity of her condition.
Addiction is a serious disease. It will end with jail, mental institutions or death. I was 27 years old when through the friendship and help of Chip Somers of the treatment centre, Focus12, I found recovery. Through Focus I was introduced to support fellowships for alcoholics and drug addicts which are very easy to find and open to anybody with a desire to stop drinking and without which I would not be alive.
Now Amy Winehouse is dead -- like many others whose unnecessary deaths have been retrospectively romanticised, at 27 years old. Whether this tragedy was preventable or not is now irrelevant. It is not preventable today. We have lost a beautiful and talented woman to this disease. Not all addicts have Amy's incredible talent. Or Kurt's or Jimi's or Janis's. Some people just get the affliction.
All we can do is adapt the way we view this condition, not as a crime or a romantic affectation but as a disease that will kill. We need to review the way society treats addicts, not as criminals but as sick people in need of care. We need to look at the way our government funds rehabilitation. It is cheaper to rehabilitate an addict than to send them to prison, so criminalisation doesn't even make economic sense.
Not all of us know someone with the incredible talent that Amy had but we all know drunks and junkies and they all need help and the help is out there. All they have to do is pick up the phone and make the call. Or not. Either way, there will be a phone call.

Confetti New Years Garland
The countdown to 2013 has begun! I'm celebrating by transforming our new Confetti Felt Bundle into a festive New Year's Garland inspired by… confetti! Just like the real stuff, this pretty garland supplies a joyful and surprising burst of color, minus the mess. During a time of year that can be dark and dreary, this cheerful string is definitely an uplifting addition to the house!
This project is quick, easy, and fun to make. Just slice the felt into strips, cut the strips into small rectangles and squares and then chain piece them together with a neon shock of thread. It's so satisfying to see a long garland come together in a matter of minutes! With just one felt bundle you can make an incredibly long string, and because it's made of 100% wool felt, your garland is sure to enliven many New Year's parties to come! -Molly
- One Confetti Felt Bundle
- One spool of Mettler Neon Thread in Devil Red
Your garland can be up to 12 feet long
Cutting and Sewing
Cut all of the felt pieces into 1-inch by 8-inch strips.
Cut the strips into a mix of 1-inch and 2-inch lengths.
Toss all of the cut pieces together so you can pick them at random to sew together.
Chain piece the cut pieces together through their centers one after another without picking up the machine's foot. Sew until desired length and you're all done!
5 Responses to Confetti New Years Garland
I just love this. I'm going to do it! Thanks so much for the fun idea.
So simple,I love this. Now I have an idea for what to use my old felt for!
How ddo you sew the little pieces in between (just thread)? Please let me know.. Thanks!
Hi Rozalinde-
Yes, you just keep sewing the pieces one after another without lifting up the foot in between. The space between the pieces is just thread. Because of this it's important to use strong thread, like nylon or polyester.
Thanks for your question!
I love this idea, pictures of my take on it are here http://abimakes.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/felt-garlands.html

Trøgstad is a municipality in Østfold county, Norway. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Skjønhaug. The municipality is divided into the parishes of Trøgstad and Båstad. The parish of Trygstad was established as a municipality on 1 January 1838 (see formannskapsdistrikt).
The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Trøgstad farm (Old Norse: Þrygsstaðir and/or Þrjúgsstaðir), since the first church was built here. The meaning of the first element is not known (maybe a male nickname) and the last element is staðir which means "homestead" or "farm". Prior to 1889, the name was written "Trygstad".
The coat-of-arms is from modern times. They were granted on 24 August 1979. The arms show an anvil and was chosen because Trøgstad historically was well known for the quality of its blacksmiths what made iron tools and objects. The green background of the shield symbolizes the fields and forests in the municipality. The arms were designed by Truls Nygaard.

Buying glasses. Like marriage, it is not an estate to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly and in the fear of looking stupid.
ney I must confess to having fire in my belly out this Topic. I am the proud owner of two multi award winning optical practices and I am myself a qualified optician.
I would like to make three points if i may;
1. Going to the opticians should be fundamentally about getting your sight tested and checking the health of your eyes.
This week alone we saved two people from going blind. All in a weeks work
2. When you have your eyes tested you do not have to buy from the opticians it is your right to shop around
Again this week 100% of my customers that needed glasses bought glasses from us when asked for value for money 95 out of 95 scored over 4 out of 5 !
3. You get what you pay for. Yes I agree you can pay over the odds for a optical product but follow a few simple steps to find out if you are getting value for money;
Frame : Ask how long did it take to make ?
Cheap stuff ie starts from £29. The frame takes about 15min to make and is produced on a large scale. You will get discoloration it is unlikely to last more than 2 years. No spring sides. Good stuff starts around £60 up to £350 and can take up to 180 day to make. Lasts 5- 10 years. An added bonus to this is exclusivity, you are not going to look like everybody else!
Lenses: Single vision lenses (the ones you use when you are under 45 years old) start from £15 and can go upwards to £100. Where is the added value here? Well …. the middle of the lenses have to be in the middle of your eyes otherwise you can get double vision and not see in H.D. Get it measured by a qualified optician.
All the extras: refraction free coat. This one is so easy to find out if you are getting ripped off
How many layers of coating has the lense got?
Between 1 and 3 layers do not pay more than £35
3-25 layers £35 to £70
25-100 layers £70 to £150
The more the layers, the easier it is to clean, the longer it lasts and the better you can see through it.
I think where the big money savings are vairfoacls. They are a bit like buying a mortgage from the bank. Make sure the place you are buying the varifocals from is independent and is whole of market (i.e. they sell all types of varifocals)
Compare like for like if one place says the price of its best varifocal is £100 this same lens could be in the price book of another at £50 but branded as the basic lenses. The better the lenses, the less 'swimmy' feeling and the less head movement required.The good stuff starts at £100 using digital technology.
I hope I have not bored you. Its difficult to get hard facts about optical industry products but I recommend you do your research. Generally you get what you pay for. A trip to the opticians does not mean spending money on new specs

Carney | November 13, 2012 | 12:00 am Many liberals correctly perceive that the so-called centrists in the Democratic Party tend to be the lawmakers most friendly with industry. They then draw this correlation: the further Right you are, the more lobbyist-friendly you are. But that's like someone in the Southern Hemisphere concluding that whenever you go North, it gets warmer — it's true until you cross the equator. In Congress, as...

Medical microdevices have the potential to influence the way diseases are diagnosed. One tool used in these microdevices is dielectrophoresis, or the movement of particle in an inhomogenous electric field. The use of a medical microdevice or lab-on-a-chip to identify blood related problems is a particularly attractive field in emergency medicine however the most important first step is to quantify the blood's natural response to an electric field. Research is currently focused on defining the baseline responses of the eight blood types in the ABO typing system to an alternating current dielectrophoretic field.
An incredibly important factor when working with blood is the blood type. The ABO blood typing system was discovered by Landsteiner in 1900 [1]. This blood typing system is defined by the presence or absence of two main antigens. These antigens are complex carbohydrates that are found on the red blood cell membrane. Type A blood is classified by the presence of the A antigen, whereas type B blood is classified by the presence of the B antigen. Type AB blood has both A and B antigens and type O blood has neither antigen [2]. Another major factor in the ABO system is the presence or absence of powerful antibodies. Normally the body does not produce antibodies unless exposed to the antigen. However, it was found that humans naturally produce the antibody against the ABO antigens that they do not express. Therefore, blood types A and O have the B antibody and blood types B and O have the A antibody. Blood type AB does not have any antibodies. Because of this unique antigen-antibody relationship, AB is often referred to as the universal accepter and O as the universal donor [2]. This relationship is incredibly important when a patient is receiving a blood transfusion. If the blood type does not match, the transfusion can be deadly. In addition to the A and B antigens there is a third antigen that is important in matching blood types during transfusions [2]. This antigen is known as the Rhesus factor. If the Rh antigen is present, the blood type is classified as positive. On the other hand, if the Rh antigen is absent, the blood type is negative [3]. Therefore, the eight resulting blood types are A+, B+, O+, AB+, A-, B-, O-, AB-.
Unaltered video microscopy images of the nonuniform electrode configuration and the spatial distribution of A+, B+, AB+ and O+ blood cells in the microdevice chamber are available in references 1 and 2. Average cell position was then tracked over time and compared between blood types. The cells with the basic polysaccharide backbone (O+ erythrocytes) were recorded with the smallest horizontal and vertical movements in the dielectrophoretic field. However, polysaccharides functionalized with N-acetyl-D-galactosamine (A+ erythrocytes) responded in the dielectrophoretic field by moving in the vertical direction away while D-galactose terminal polysaccharide cells (B+ erythrocytes) responded by moving horizontally away from the highest field density. Our group determined via statistical analysis that we could recognize O+ blood with greater than 95% confidence. This has large implications because type O blood can be universally donated. AB+ could be distinguished with greater than 85% confidence and all blood types could be distinguished from each other at a 56% confidence level.
My interest in studying chemical engineering with a focus in biological engineering comes from growing up with a childhood friend who was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. My desire to succeed in this field and to further the knowledge of others comes from this very personal experience. I also have an interest in teaching at the college level because I believe there is nothing more rewarding then sharing knowledge with others and watching a future generation take that first step into a new field.

Oct 17th I attended a meeting which speaker David Wall of the Liberty Institute, presented a non-partisan short summary of the ten proposed Amendments.
Pros and cons were presented and after hearing both sides the 100+ who attended found little they would support. Many of the Propositions would support Agenda 21's objectives ( one example is Prop 4 HJR 63 which could raise sales tax for transportation, use property taxes to build toll roads, & grant tax breaks to who they want).
Please visit
to view the pros and cons they list. We all agreed to support Prop.1 SJR 14.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Our school is still struggling with trust in leadership but as parents we are trying to support in any way we can. We have amazing teachers! About Sept. 2nd's comment...a parent would not know if we failed or not because the district is posting scores at the end of Sept. Where is the trust? It's gone!
Great school! The school had been labled a failing school but the current administration, which has taken a lot of heat, now has the school off of the failing list. The 'program' is obviously working. Many parents find change difficult but that does not mean change is wrong.
The current administration stifles learning and has no disciplinary skill. This is creating a dangerous environment. Poor leadership creates poor schools. There are great teachers here who are not allowed to use their creativity to teach and adapt the learning to each student. At all costs, stick to 'the program'. This is obviously not working.
I student taught and substituted here. It is a wonderful school. The principal is great and the teachers are very experienced and dedicated. Their focus is always the children and they have wonderful reading programs.

Chromosomes are structures within a cell which contain the genetic information that is passed on from one generation to the next.
In prokaryotes, there is usually a large circular chromosome. In addition, there may be several smaller circular chromosomes called plasmids. None of these is enclosed in a membrane, they merely drift around within the cytoplasm of the prokaryote cell.
In eukaryotes, most chromosomes are located in the cell nucleus and are composed of protein and DNA. Smaller chromosomes exist in mitochondria and chloroplasts - these tend to regulate activity solely within the organelle in which they occur.
|Chromosomes only become visible through a microscope just prior to cell division. Before they are able to be seen, the DNA has been duplicated and coils tightly around proteins. The two strands of DNA so formed are called chromatids and are still joined by a protein disk at a point called the centromere.
Human cells other than gametes (= somatic cells) contain 46 chromosomes. This represents 22 pairs of autosomes and a pair of so called sex chromosomes. When a cell has a set of paired chromosomes, as in a somatic cell, it is described as diploid.
The chromosomes in each autosome pair (= homologous chromosomes) look very similar in length, position of the centromere and staining reactions. And when the genetic information on a pair is examined it is found that the genes match up perfectly although the proteins for which they code may have important differences.
The sex chromosomes may or may not be homologous. In a human female, each somatic cell has two copies of the X chromosome as well as the 22 autosome pairs. The human male has 22 pairs of autosomes and one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is physically smaller than an X chromosome and only some of the genetic information on an X chromosome has matching information on the Y chromosome.
Other species have different numbers of chromosome pairs in their somatic cells. It is this difference in size and arrangement of chromosomes which, at the molecular level, separates one species from the other.
It is possible to stain the chromosomes of a dividing cell and view them under a microscope. If the image is then photographed and enlarged, the individual pictures of the chromosomes can be cut up and sorted. This is known as a karyotype.
Examination of an individual's karyotype may reveal information about gender or the presence/absence of the correct number of chromosomes. For this reason karyotype analysis is sometimes performed on cells from unborn babies.
A gene is a section of a chromosome. A gene carries coded information within a sequence of chemicals. When appropriate, a section of this information is decoded and used to provide the recipe for protein synthesis within the cell. The proteins synthesised may affect the way the cell interacts with its environment. This, in turn, may affect the way the whole organism responds to its environment.
Since the genes directly control the functioning of cells, it is hardly surprising that (almost) all cells contain chromosomes. When cell reproduction occurs (as in growth or tissue repair) it is therefore necessary to reproduce the chromosomes in such a way that each new cell has its full quota of the DNA needed to ensure the cell's survival.
The process of mitosis ensures that each new (daughter) cell in the organism's body inherits the correct amount of DNA. This is described in more detail on the page "New proteins, Cells and Individuals".
Similarly, new individuals need a supply of DNA in order to exist. If these individuals are generated by asexual reproduction, they are provided with a copy of the same chromosomes, and genes, as the parent from which they arise. Individuals which are the product of sexual reproduction, however, gain half of their DNA from each parent. A different type of cell reproduction is called for in preparation for sexual reproduction if the cells of the offspring are not to be overloaded with too many chromosomes.
The process of meiosis results in gametes with half as many chromosomes as a normal body cell (a somatic cell). Gametes from two parents unite in sexual reproduction to form a zygote with the correct amount of DNA. This is described in more detail on the page"New proteins, Cells and Individuals".
Deoxy-ribo-nucleic acid (DNA) is the chemical which carries the genetic code.
DNA is composed of sub-units called nucleotides (see diagram at right), which themselves are composed of sub-units: a sugar molecule (deoxyribose), a phosphate group, and one of four possible nitrogen bases.
The nucleotides in a single strand of DNA are linked together via chemical bonds between the phosphate group of one nucleotide and the ribose of the next. In this way, a backbone of -ribose-phosphate-ribose-phosphate-ribose-phosphate- is formed with the bases attached to each ribose.
It was discovered in 1949 that there is always the same amount of adenine and thymine in DNA and similarly, there is always the same amount of cytosine as guanine. From this observation, in 1953, Watson and Crick (and others) deduced the structure of DNA to be two single strands, wound around each other, and linked together with weak chemical bonds between the bases on each strand. The specific base pairing was found to always occur between adenine:thymine and guanine:cytosine, thus accounting for the constant ratios observed earlier. The arrangement of two strands of DNA, linked by the base pairs and twisted together, is described as a double helix.
Because of the special relationship between the bases of one strand of DNA with the bases on the opposite strand, the two chains of the double helix are described as complementary to each other.
There is almost certainly a daigram of DNA in your textbook, but if you can be bothered waiting for a rather large picture from the USA you can click here. Use your back button to come back here from the DNA picture.
When cells prepare to divide, either for growth or for repair, the chromosomes become visible as duplicated threads, the chromatids. For chromatids to form, the DNA of the original chromosomes needs to be reproduced so that each new cell will ultimately possess the correct genetic information to function appropriately.
DNA replication occurs when the complementary strands of DNA break apart and unwind. This is accomplished with the help of enzymes called helicases. Additional enzymes and proteins attach to the individual strands, holding them apart and preventing them from coiling upon themselves.
The point at which the double helix separates is called the replication fork, because of the shape of the molecule. At this site enzymes called DNA polymerases move along each of the separated DNA strands, adding nucleotides to the exposed bases according to the base pairing rules. The ribose-phosphate bonds form between the new nucleotides to hold the new strand together. The process continues until the original double helix is completely unwound and two new double helices have been formed. Each new double helix is composed of one old DNA strand and one new strand. This is described as semi-conservative replication.
During replication, there are occasionally errors made in the insertion of the complementary bases in the new DNA strand. Usually these are repaired by special DNA polymerases, but a few remain (increasing in frequency with the increasing age of the organism). These errors in the DNA may or may not have an effect on the functioning of the cell lines in which they then appear. Errors or alterations in the base sequence of DNA are called mutations.
One of the most important discoveries in Biology was the realisation that genes are responsible for the production of proteins. George Beadle and Edward Tatum, working at the California Institute of Technology in the 1940s are credited with this discovery, although, of course, they were working on extending ideas that had been published earlier by other scientists. Then it was Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase who, in 1952, published the results of their experiments that convinced scientists that DNA is indeed the carrier of hereditary information.
So how does the DNA carry the 'recipe' for all the proteins, structural and functional, that an organism needs? The answer is in the four bases, Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine (learn how to spell these!). These four bases on the DNA chain in the double helix can be thought of as 'letters' which are used to build the total possible range of three letter 'words' - it's a simple maths exercise to realise that this gives a possible 'vocabulary' of 64 (=4x4x4) words.
Since there are only 20 amino acids that are used, in various combinations, to make proteins, it is possible to give each amino acid a DNA code 'word'. For example, the DNA triplet code CGA will lead to the insertion of the amino acid alanine into a protein. But there are still 'words' left over to have duplicates for many of the amino acids (CGG, CGT and CGC also code for alanine) and 'special words' to tell where a gene stops (ATT does this).
The term for the DNA bases in their groups of three is codons, and it is these codons, grouped together as genes, which hold the information for the accurate production of all the cells' proteins. That is the subject of the next page at this site.

Podcast Episode 227: Glacier Bay Interview with Kerin
This week, Jenny talks with Knit Picks designer Kerin about her latest collection of patterns – Glacier Bay. Hear more about this 6-pattern collection as Kerin shares her initial inspiration behind the collection and how those ideas transformed into a wonderfully versatile mix of accessories including everything from a hat and scarf set to mitts, legwarmers and a cowl. As we talk through each of the 6 designs, Kerin goes into more detail behind each piece and highlights various techniques that were used along with a few helpful hints.
