Analysis of a noncanonical poly(A) site
reveals a tripartite mechanism
for vertebrate poly(A) site recognition

At least half of all human pre-mRNAs are subject to alternative 3? processing that may modulate both the
coding capacity of the message and the array of post-transcriptional regulatory elements embedded within the
3? UTR. Vertebrate poly(A) site selection appears to rely primarily on the binding of CPSF to an A(A/U)UAAA
hexamer upstream of the cleavage site and CstF to a downstream GU-rich element. At least one-quarter of all
human poly(A) sites, however, lack the A(A/U)UAAA motif. We report that sequence-specific RNA binding of
the human 3? processing factor CFImcan function as a primary determinant of poly(A) site recognition in the
absence of the A(A/U)UAAA motif. CFImis sufficient to direct sequence-specific, A(A/U)UAAA-independent
poly(A) addition in vitro through the recruitment of the CPSF subunit hFip1 and poly(A) polymerase to the
RNA substrate. ChIP analysis indicates that CFImis recruited to the transcription unit, along with CPSF and
CstF, during the initial stages of transcription, supporting a direct role for CFImin poly(A) site recognition.
The recognition of three distinct sequence elements by CFIm, CPSF, and CstF suggests that vertebrate poly(A)
site definition is mechanistically more similar to that of yeast and plants than anticipated.

Received January 14, 2005; revised version accepted April 21, 2005.
The process of mRNA 3? end formation is not simply a
perfunctory step in eukaryotic gene expression. At least
one-half of all human genes are subject to alternative 3?
processing (Iseli et al. 2002), the consequences of which
may impact the protein coding capacity of the message,
as well as its localization, translation efficiency, and sta-
bility (Edwalds-Gilbert et al. 1997). Moreover, poly(A)
site selection may be modulated in a developmental and
tissue-specific manner. In addition, pre-mRNA 3? pro-
cessing contributes directly to transcription termination
(Zorio and Bentley 2004), pre-mRNA splicing (Proudfoot
et al. 2002), and mRNA export (Hammell et al. 2002; Lei
and Silver 2002). While the processing of constitutive
poly(A) sites has been examined in considerable detail,
the fundamental mechanisms responsible for the regula-
tion of alternative poly(A) site selection have yet to be
fully elucidated (Barabino and Keller 1999).
The processing of the majority of human poly(A) sites
involves the recognition of an AAUAAA or AUUAAA
hexamer by CPSF, coupled with the binding of CstF to a
GU-rich downstream element (DSE) (Zhao et al. 1999).
The binding of CPSF and CstF appears to be sufficient, at
least in vitro, to direct the assembly of a 3? processing
complex composed of at least 14 different proteins. In
vivo, however, the hexamer and DSE alone are unlikely
to suffice for poly(A) site definition. The recognition of
an authentic poly(A) site within a nascent RNA in vivo
appears to rely on the "biosynthetic context" provided
by the transcription elongation complex (Proudfoot
2004). At least nine 3? processing proteins are recruited
to the transcription complex, at least in part through
interactions with the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the
largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) (Calvo
and Manley 2003). The colocalization of 3? processing
factors, along with capping enzymes and spliceosome
components, to the transcription elongation complex, al-
lows for the cooperative interaction of these processing
machineries within an "mRNA factory" (Zorio and
Bentley 2004).
Cotranscriptional recognition of a poly(A) site pro-
vides an elegant mechanism for the identification of a
processing site demarcated by a limited set of sequence
motifs. Yet the mechanisms that regulate the selection
of alternative poly(A) sites within a pre-mRNA, or allow
for the recognition of poly(A) sites that lack the canoni-
cal A(A/U)UAAA motif, are poorly understood. Se-
quences that function to enhance the efficiency of 3?
processing have been identified upstream of several ca-
nonical poly(A) sites (Zhao et al. 1999). Such elements
might contribute to the regulation of poly(A) site selec-

tion, although the molecular mechanisms by which they
function are largely unclear. In this work, we have iden-
tified a mechanism by which the 3? processing factor
CFImcontributes to poly(A) site recognition and, specifi-
cally, to the recognition of a human poly(A) site that
lacks the canonical A(A/U)UAAA hexamer.
CFImis an essential, heterodimeric pre-mRNA 3? pro-
cessing factor, unique to metazoans, composed of a small
subunit of 25 kDa and a large subunit of 59, 68, or 72 kDa
(Ruegsegger et al. 1996). The human CFIm59- and 68-
kDa subunits are encoded by paralogous genes, while the
nature of the 72-kDa protein remains unclear. The CFIm
59- and 68-kDa proteins possess an N-terminal RNP-
type RNA-binding domain (RBD), a central proline-rich
domain, and a C-terminal RS-like alternating charge
domain—a structure similar to that of the SR family of
proteins that function in basal and regulated pre-mRNA
splicing (Graveley 2000). The structure of the CFImlarge
subunit, along with the identification of both the 25- and
68-kDa subunits as components of human spliceosomes
(Rappsilber et al. 2002; Zhou et al. 2002), suggests a po-
tential role for CFImin the coordination of 3? processing
and pre-mRNA splicing. Such a role is supported by
the specific interaction of the 25-kDa subunit with the
70-kDa protein of U1 snRNP (Awasthi and Alwine 2003)
and the interaction of the 68-kDa subunit with the
SR proteins Srp20, 9G8, and hTra-2? (Dettwiler et al.
2004). The CFIm68/25-kDa heterodimer has been shown
to be sufficient to reconstitute CFImfunction in vitro
(Ruegsegger et al. 1998), and SELEX analysis has indi-
cated that the 68/25-kDa heterodimer preferentially
binds the sequence UGUAN (N = A > U ? C/G) (Brown
and Gilmartin 2003). Ruegsegger et al. (1998) demon-
strated that CFImcan function to facilitate pre-mRNA
3? processing complex assembly and to enhance the rate
and overall efficiency of poly(A) site cleavage in vitro.
In vitro experiments have also shown that CFImcan
function to autoregulate the 3? processing of the pre-
mRNA encoding the CFIm68-kDa subunit through
the binding of a set of UGUAA elements that flank and
overlap the AAUAAA hexamer (Brown and Gilmartin
In this report, we demonstrate that CFImhas a funda-
mental role in poly(A) site recognition. Sequence-spe-
cific RNA binding of CFImwas found to function as the
primary determinant for the recognition of a human
poly(A) site lacking the A(A/U)UAAA hexamer. Further-
more, we show that CFImcan function to direct se-
quence-specific, A(A/U)UAAA-independent poly(A) ad-
dition in vitro, through its ability to recruit the CPSF
subunit hFip1 and poly(A) polymerase to the RNA sub-
strate. A direct role for CFImin poly(A) site recognition
is supported by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)
analysis indicating that CFImis recruited to the tran-
scription unit, along with CPSF and CstF, during the
initial stages of transcription. Taken together, the data
indicate that three sequence-specific RNA-binding fac-
tors participate in vertebrate poly(A) site recognition,
CFIm, CPSF, and CstF, and suggest that the mechanisms
of poly(A) site recognition in yeast, plants, and verte-
brates are more similar than previously appreciated
(Graber et al. 1999; Proudfoot and O'Sullivan 2002).
PAPOLA and PAPOLG gene paralogs as a model
system for the analysis of poly(A) site recognition
EST database analysis has indicated that over a quarter of
all human transcripts are processed at noncanonical
poly(A) sites that deviate in one or more positions from
the A(A/U)AAA consensus (Beaudoing et al. 2000). Mu-
tagenesis studies have indicated that such noncanonical
sites are processed poorly, if at all, in vitro (Sheets et al.
1990). To begin to understand the mechanisms that al-
low for the recognition of noncanonical poly(A) sites, we
chose to examine the noncanonical poly(A) site of the
human PAPOLG gene (also referred to as neo-poly(A)
polymerase [Topalian et al. 2001]) in parallel with the
canonical poly(A) site of its paralog, PAPOLA. The pri-
mary poly(A) site of PAPOLG (as determined by EST
analysis) does not possess a sequence with more than a
4-nt match to the A(A/U)UAAA motif. The PAPOLA
and PAPOLG genes, which encode poly(A) polymerase ?
(PAP?) and poly(A) polymerase ? (PAP?), respectively,
derive from gene duplication, as evidenced by a common
intron/exon structure. PAP? and PAP? have an overall
amino acid sequence similarity of 71%.
As illustrated in Figure 1, the 3? ends of PAPOLA and
PAPOLG are strikingly distinct and highly conserved
among vertebrates. The conserved sequences upstream
of each poly(A) site encompass multiple copies of po-
tential CFIm-binding sites of the form UGUAN (N = A >
U ? C/G). As denoted by the boxed sequences, the hu-
man PAPOLA poly(A) site contains six UGUAN ele-
ments within 131 nucleotides (nt) upstream of the cleav-
age site. The PAPOLG poly(A) site contains seven
UGUAN elements within 119 nt upstream of the cleav-
age site in a pattern that is clearly distinct from that of
the PAPOLA poly(A) site. The PAPOLG gene contains a
single UGUAN element within 130 nt downstream of
the cleavage site, while the PAPOLA gene has none. The
following experiments were undertaken to test the hy-
pothesis that sequence-specific binding of CFImto the
UGUAN elements of PAPOLA and PAPOLG contrib-
utes to poly(A) site recognition and processing.
CFIm-binding sites enhance 3? processing at the
canonical PAPOLA poly(A) site in vitro
We first addressed the contribution of the four conserved
UGUAN elements immediately upstream of the PAPOLA
AAUAAA hexamer to poly(A) site function. Single G-
to-C point mutations were introduced into the two
UGUAN elements distal to the hexamer (PAP??1), the
two UGUAN elements proximal to the hexamer
(PAP??2), or the combination of all four elements
(PAP??1/2) (Fig. 2A). In addition, a single U-to-G point
mutation was introduced into the AAUAAA hexamer
(PAP??hex). As illustrated in Figure 2B, lane 1, the wild-
type PAPOLA poly(A) site was efficiently cleaved in
Venkataraman et al.
Page 3
HeLa cell nuclear extract to yield the expected 5? prod-
uct. Mutation of the AAUAAA hexamer greatly reduced
the overall efficiency of cleavage, although cleavage at
multiple adjacent sites was observed (Fig. 2B, lane 2).
Mutation of each set of UGUAN elements reduced
cleavage and in combination exhibited an additive reduc-
tion in cleavage activity (Fig. 2B, lanes 3–5). The effi-
ciency of poly(A) addition to the precleaved PAP??hex,
PAP??2, and PAP??1/2 RNAs (RNAs that extend only
to the cleavage site) was also reduced relative to the
wild type (Fig. 2C, lanes 2,4,5). As illustrated by the
quantitation of four independent sets of experiments
(Fig. 2D), the UGUAN elements clearly contribute to the
efficiency of both cleavage and poly(A) addition at the
PAPOLA poly(A) site in vitro.
The impact of each of the PAPOLA poly(A) site mu-
tations on 3? processing complex assembly and CFIm
binding is illustrated in Figure 2E and F. As expected, a
single point mutation within the AAUAAA hexamer
eliminated 3? processing complex formation on both
full-length and precleaved PAPOLA RNAs in HeLa cell
nuclear extract, as assayed by gel mobility shift (Fig. 2E,
lanes 2,7). Mutations within the UGUAN elements re-
duced the efficiency of complex assembly on both full-
length (Fig. 2E, lanes 3–5) and precleaved (Fig. 2E, lanes
8–10) RNAs. Point mutations within each set of
UGUAN elements also significantly reduced the binding
of purified recombinant CFImto the precleaved PAPOLA
RNA in an additive manner (Fig. 2F, lanes 3,4). Taken
together, the data demonstrate that efficient PAPOLA 3?
processing complex assembly, poly(A) site cleavage, and
poly(A) addition are dependent upon a set of UGUAN
elements upstream of the AAUAAA hexamer that are
targets for CFImbinding.
CFIm-binding sites are required for efficient 3?
processing at the noncanonical PAPOLG poly(A)
in vitro
We next addressed the role of sequence-specific RNA
binding by CFImin the processing of the noncanonical
PAPOLG poly(A) site. Single G-to-C point mutations
were introduced into the two UGUAN elements distal
to the cleavage site (PAP??1), the three UGUAN ele-
ments proximal to the cleavage site (PAP??2), or the
combination of all five elements (PAP??1/2) (Fig. 3A). A
complementary set of RNAs was produced in which a
dinucleotide change was introduced to create a canonical
AAUAAA sequence 15 nt upstream of the cleavage site
(PAP?cswt, PAP?cs?1, PAP?cs?2, and PAP?cs ?1/2).
The A-rich sequence centered 20 nt upstream of the
cleavage site (AAAGAGAAA) was chosen for mutagen-
esis based on the observation that the poly(A) sites of
both yeast and plants possess similar A-rich sequences
that function as positioning elements (Graber et al.
1999). The PAP??A RNA contained two A-to-C muta-
tions within the A-rich element (AAAGAGAAA to
As illustrated in Figure 3B, cleavage at the PAPOLG
poly(A) site in HeLa cell nuclear extract was signifi-
cantly reduced by point mutations within each set of
UGUAN elements (lanes 3,4), as well as within the A-
rich element (lane 2). The combination of both sets of
UGUAN element mutations nearly eliminated poly(A)
site cleavage in vitro (Fig. 3B, lane 5). The introduction of
an AAUAAA sequence significantly enhanced the effi-
ciency of PAPOLG poly(A) site cleavage (Fig. 3B, cf. lanes
1 and 6). Even in the context of the canonical hexamer,
however, mutation of the three proximal UGUAN ele-
ments (Fig. 3B, lane 8) or all five UGUAN elements (Fig.
3B, lane 9) reduced the efficiency of cleavage. Point mu-
tations within the UGUAN elements had a comparable
impact on poly(A) addition to precleaved RNA substrates
(Fig. 3C). Strikingly, the poly(A) tails added to the
PAP??1/2 RNA substrate were consistently longer that
those of the other PAP? RNAs (Fig. 3C, cf. lanes 5 and
1–4). As poly(A) tail length control is dependent upon the
binding of both CPSF and PABPN1 (Wahle 1995), the
extended poly(A) tails of PAP??1/2 may result from the
inability of CPSF to interact stably with the RNA as a
result of the loss of CFImbinding (see below). In HeLa
cell nuclear extract, short oligo(A) tails produced by the

binding is illustrated in Figure 4. In contrast to the ca-
nonical poly(A) site of PAPOLA, only a low level of 3?
processing complex formation was detected upon incu-
bation of the full-length PAP?wt RNA in HeLa cell
nuclear extract (Fig. 4A, lane 1). Point mutations within
either the A-rich element (Fig. 4A, lane 2) or the
UGUAN elements (Fig. 4A, lanes 3–5) eliminated this
complex. Mutations within the UGUAN elements also
increased the mobility of the lower complex. Introduc-
tion of an AAUAAA hexamer dramatically enhanced 3?
processing complex formation in HeLa cell nuclear ex-
tract (Fig. 4A, lanes 6–9), although 3? processing complex
formation was reduced by point mutations within the
UGUAN elements. A similar pattern was observed in
the assembly of complexes on precleaved PAPOLG
RNAs in HeLa cell nuclear extract (Fig. 4A, lanes 10–18).
The differences between the complexes assembled on
full-length RNAs and those assembled on precleaved
RNAs are most likely attributable to the binding of CstF
to the DSE of the full-length RNAs, which stabilizes the
interaction of CPSF with the RNA (Gilmartin and Nev-
ins 1991).

Several Fox News figures are attempting to shift partial blame onto Samuel DuBose for his own death at the hands of a Cincinnati police officer during a traffic stop, arguing DuBose should have cooperated with the officer's instructions if he wanted to avoid "danger."
A Department of Justice (DOJ) investigation has found no evidence that the anti-fraud program "Operation Choke Point" targeted gun retailers, contrary to what conservative media outlets and the National Rifle Association (NRA) have long claimed.
Operation Choke Point was conceived as an anti-fraud program by the DOJ's Consumer Protection Branch in November 2012 based on the suspicion that some banks -- acting with knowledge or willful blindness -- entered into businesses relationships with individuals engaged in fraud. As an early memo explained, Choke Point was designed as "a strategy to attack Internet, telemarketing, mail, and other mass market fraud against consumers, by choking fraudsters' access to the banking system."
Conservative media and the NRA have repeatedly insisted that Choke Point was part of a government conspiracy to target gun retailers -- based on the belief that the Obama administration is "anti-gun." But a new report from the DOJ Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) -- the office responsible for "investigating allegations of misconduct involving Department attorneys" -- has decisively concluded "that the evidence did not demonstrate that Operation Choke Point" was used to target firearm sellers.
In January 2014, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee opened an investigation into Choke Point to determine whether the program may have "inappropriately target[ed] two lawful financial services: third-party payment processing and online lending."
Although no mention of gun retailers was made during the first congressional inquiries, NRA News host Cam Edwards began connecting Choke Point to claims by some firearm retailers that banks were refusing to do business with them.
With no evidence to bear that claim out, Choke Point then became a regular topic of discussion by the NRA and conservative media, which characterized it as another Obama administration scandal. The anti-fraud program was discussed dozens of times on the NRA's radio and (since-cancelled) television show, and the NRA's lobbying wing, the Institute for Legislation Action, offered frequent updates on the so-called scandal.
Choke Point was also widely reported on by the conservative Washington Times, which interviewed gun retailers who claimed their business relationships with banks had been terminated because of the program. (At the time, Media Matters exposed the dubiousness of these claims. For example, one gun retailer had his account terminated by his bank months before Choke Point was even proposed by DOJ.) The Washington Times editorial board declared, "Obama wants to use the banks to void the Second Amendment."
False claims about Choke Point's targets were also picked up by Fox News, with network contributor Katie Pavlich claiming that DOJ was "discriminating" against gun owners. As recently as April 13, Fox News correspondent Trace Gallagher falsely reported on The Kelly File that "Operation Choke Point was created by the Obama administration to choke out businesses it finds objectionable, like gun shops, casinos, and tobacco sellers."
None of this is true, according to the DOJ OPR investigation, which examined "memoranda, subpoenas, and contemporaneous emails" related to the operation. The July 7 report found no evidence that Choke Point had "compelled banks to terminate business relationships" with firearm sellers (emphasis added):
OPR also concluded that the evidence did not demonstrate that Operation Choke Point compelled banks to terminate business relationships with other lawful businesses, a concern raised in your letter and the Staff Report. Indeed, OPR found no evidence establishing that any CPB attorney intentionally targeted any of the industries listed in the Staff Report (including credit repair companies, debt consolidation and forgiveness programs, online gambling-related operations, government grant or will-writing kits, pornography, online tobacco or firearms sales, pharmaceutical sales, sweepstakes, magazine subscriptions, etc.). None of the subpoenas or memoranda issued or drafted in connection with Operation Choke Point focused on specific categories of purportedly fraudulent businesses, except for fraudulent Internet payday lending, to the limited extent discussed above. Moreover, the CPB attorneys' e-mail records contained no discussion or even mention of targeting any such specific industries.
As the report noted, there was no evidence that attorneys involved in Choke Point ever discussed firearm businesses at any time during Choke Point.
From the July 11 edition of Fox News' The Kelly File:

Fox News' Trace Gallagher cited a poll showing 54 percent of Americans don't like Obamacare as a reason to back the Republican plan to shut down the federal government if the law is not defunded. Gallagher's analysis is at odds with multiple polls cited earlier the same day by his Fox colleague Gregg Jarrett that showed a majority of Americans do not support Republican defunding efforts.
On September 20, House Republicans passed a continuing resolution that would defund the Affordable Care Act (ACA) but continue to fund the government. Senate Republicans have criticized the plan, with Richard Burr of North Carolina describing it as "the dumbest idea I've ever heard of."
On the September 20 edition of Studio B with Shepard Smith, guest host Trace Gallagher said during an interview with The Hill's managing editor, Bob Cusack, "[T]hey're not just a bunch of nutty House members up there voting for this thing. I mean look, 54 percent, the latest polls show 54 percent of Americans are against Obamacare, so the House is at least fighting for the majority of Americans."
But Gallagher ignored polls showing that a majority of Americans oppose the Republican effort to defund Obamacare -- a fact made clear during an earlier Fox News segment. During that segment, Fox News host Gregg Jarrett advised Monica Crowley that he had "looked at three different polls today. They all say the same thing. That is, as unpopular -- and it is -- as Obamacare is, they don't want the government shut down because of a defunding effort."
An August poll by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that 57 percent of Americans disapprove of cutting off funding "as a way to stop the law from being implemented, a finding that has been consistent in Kaiser Health Tracking Polls since January 2011."
Furthermore, the conservative Heritage Foundation found that 52 percent of Americans believe implementation of the law should move forward, as reported by Salon's Alex Seitz-Wald:
[E]ven this push poll that dramatically oversamples Republicans (more on that in a minute) finds respondents are more likely to say that the Affordable Care Act should be kept than scrapped -- and that a plurality would blame Republicans if the government were to shut down.
Only 44.5 percent "oppose the health care law and think it should be repealed," while 52 percent either support the law as is or have some concerns, but say they think implementation should move forward. And asked whom they would blame if "there was an impasse between president Obama and Congress on whether to continue to fund the health care law, and that impasse resulted in a partial government shutdown," the top response (28 percent) was Republicans in Congress. The next option, Obama, got 21 percent of respondents.
Gallagher's dishonest reading of the American public's attitude toward defunding the Affordable Care Act is the latest example of Fox's dishonest characterization of the House vote to defund the law, which FoxNews.com recently described as a vote "to keep government open."
Fox News reported on House Republicans' removal of the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) from an agriculture bill by parroting Republican falsehoods about the program. The report hyped Republicans' false accusations that SNAP, commonly known as food stamps, is rife with fraud and has no vetting process without challenging the claims. The segment also ignored what others in the media have reported -- that separating SNAP funding from the farm bill could lead to major cuts in the program.
Last week, House Republicans passed an agriculture bill, commonly known as the farm bill, without including funding for the SNAP program. The move stripped SNAP from the farm bill, where it has been since 1973, according to the New York Times.
During the July 15 edition of Fox News' America Live, correspondent Shannon Bream reported on the removal of SNAP, claiming the vote would not end SNAP and that no one would be cut off due to the House-version of the farm bill. Bream highlighted Republicans' purported opinions on the program: "Republicans say the system is filled with fraud and that claims made by applicants aren't vetted or verified in any way."
In fact, SNAP has a very low instance of fraud. The trafficking rate, when a SNAP benefit is exchanged for cash, is only one cent per dollar, and that's down from 1993 when it was four cents. The chief economist of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities (CBPP), Chad Stone, wrote:
[SNAP] has one of the most rigorous quality control systems of any public benefit program. SNAP error rates (benefit overpayments and underpayments) are at an all-time low; just 3 percent of benefits went to ineligible households or exceeded the allowable benefit for eligible households. Moreover, honest mistakes by recipients, eligibility workers, data entry clerks or computer programmers - not fraud - account for an overwhelming majority of such overpayments.
Rules for SNAP eligibility vary by state, but applicants must verify household income is below a certain standard and that assets do not exceed a given amount.
Ironically, according to the Times, non-SNAP programs contained the farm bill suffer higher fraud and abuse rates than SNAP.
While Bream's claim that the House-passed farm bill does not cut SNAP is technically correct, she ignored what many others in the media have acknowledged -- that, as the Washington Post wrote, "The vote made clear that Republicans intend to make significant reductions in food stamp money." Fox's Trace Gallagher even introduced the segment by referring to a "food fight ... where lawmakers are taking aim at the exploding cost of food stamps."
Fox News has routinely attacked SNAP and other programs in an effort to shame the poor.
Right-wing media are now resorting to mocking female university students' health care needs and their call that religiously affiliated colleges and universities provide access to contraceptives. But studies have found that numerous benefits (medical, social, and economic) exist in providing college-aged women -- the most vulnerable demographic for unintended pregnancies -- affordable access to contraception.
Fox News figures have been hyping the bankruptcy filing of high-tech battery manufacturer Ener1, blaming President Obama for its financial problems and claiming the case is "another Solyndra," referring to a solar panel company that went bankrupt last year. But experts have said the case is "no Solyndra," and in blaming Obama for Ener1's bankruptcy, Fox is ignoring a history of GOP support for the company -- including from Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, to whom Fox recently gave lavish praise.
Fox News and The Daily Caller have promoted the idea that unemployment rates are dropping in Alabama because of the state's new immigration law. In fact, the state's governor -- who supports the law -- and economists say there's no definitive evidence about the law's effects on unemployment.
From the October 28 edition of Fox News' America Live:

In the rush to cover the bankruptcy of Solyndra, a solar panel manufacturer that received a loan guarantee from the federal government, many news media outlets have misrepresented or omitted key facts.
From the August 8 edition of Fox News' Fox Report With Shepard Smith:

Fox News' America Live repeated the accusation that undocumented immigrants have increased crime rates in Hazleton, Pennsylvannia. However, America Live failed to report that the there is no evidence supporting the accusation, or that there is no evidence that undocumented immigrants have higher crime rates nationwide.
During Fox News' coverage of Secure Communities, a deportation program begun under the Bush administration, Fox pushed the idea that opting out of the program would create "sanctuary states" for dangerous undocumented immigrants. In fact, a large proportion of individuals who are detained and deported by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement carry only misdemeanors and minor infractions or have no criminal conviction or background.
Right-wing media have continued to attack energy standards that will phase out inefficient light bulbs by 2012, claiming the bill will "ban" incandescent light bulbs and force consumers to instead purchase either $50 light-emitting diode (LED) bulbs or "dangerous" compact florescent lights (CFL). In fact, the bill only bans inefficient incandescent light bulbs, and efficient bulbs -- whose prices vary considerably depending on the type of bulb and are also projected to drop -- will save consumers money in the long run; experts have also said that concerns over mercury in CFL bulbs are overstated.

Jon Machota's projected defensive starters for Week 1 of Cowboys 2014 season

Strongside linebacker: Kyle Wilber. The 25-year-old Wake Forest product played in all 16 games last season, recording 44 tackles and two sacks. The Cowboys moved him around often in an attempt to find his best spot in the 4-3 defense. The spot ended up being on the strongside. He's athletic enough to play in space and strong enough to line up with his hand in the dirt.

A lot of articles on science floating around the internet is just filler. Some of it's more intriguing or interesting than other stuff. Some I find really fascinating. This particular article, I don't. It's just useless:
Living on Titania: Uranus' Moon Explained (Infographic)
That seems simple enough. It's got some text, and a nifty graphic:
However, the content is pointless. Living on Titania? Let's look at this briefly and logically:
- It has no air. You'd suffocate immediately.
- It has no water. You'd starve pretty quickly.
- The average temperature is -333 degrees, you'd freeze to death very quickly.
- It has no gravity. If you jumped or tripped, you'd be sucked into Uranus and die a flaming death.
- It's night is 42 YEARS long. That would get kinda boring.
- It's daylight is 42 YEARS long. You'd die of exhaustion.
- It's day is 84 YEARS long. You'd die of old age in less than a day. Given of course, you'd didn't suffocate, starve, freeze to death, or die a flaming death falling into Uranus ( yeah, I'm have fun with Uranus. )
- And, you'd have no cell service, which means no internet, which means you would have nothing at all to do during your one day of suffering on Titania.
Let's focus on living on really fun places like Enceladus, Io, or Europa?

Cris Cyborg: The heart of Chute Boxe
Although many of the gym's greatest moments happened in the IVC and Pride, away from the eyes of the casual Western fan, Chute Boxe may be the greatest team in the history of MMA.
Anderson Silva, Fabricio Werdum, Gabriel Gonzaga, Jose "Pele" Landi-Jons, Ninja Rua, Shogun Rua, Thiago Silva, and Wanderlei Silva are just some of the names that came out of the Curitiba-based team. Training was tough, and in the Vale Tudo era, once a week the team took off gloves and went at it no rules.
When the sport of mixed martial arts was young, there were clesrly distinct styles of play. BJJ players tried to get in close, take it to the ground, hang on, and work for a submission. Wrestlers looked for a takedown and then pounded away from top.
The Chute Boxe style was unique like a finger print. With ferocious, intensely focused determination, a Chute Boxe fighter would blow out or grind down an opponent with a skilled, relentless striking attack. Caution was for the weak. Force was the strategy. When for the first time Wanderlei Silva faced the most feared striker in the sport, a much larger Mirko Cro Cop, The Axe Murderer's strategy was to out strike him, and he did. Only a peculiarity in the rules gave Wand a draw rather than the win he earned.
The defensive aspect of the Chute Boxe game was basically to make the other fighter so concerned about keeping his lights on that he was unable to properly focus on turning yours off. Submission wasn't the name of the game, a beating was.
Athough it only lasted 16 seconds, Cris Cyborg epitomized the Chute Boxe style Saturday night. Her pre fight hairy eyeball was intimidating; the receiver of a Chute Boxe staredown knows what a zebra feels like when facing a hyena. Cyborg had an opportunity to go for a rear naked, and instead opted to keep striking. Her striking was fearless, without caution, and overwhelming, and successful.
A lot of people cite Gina Carano as the figure who helped women's MMA come of age. But you could make a compelling argument that it was when Cris 'Cyborg' Santos, a woman, came to be the best representative of perhaps the greatest team in the sport's history.

"Not necessarily convinced Wand beat CC" He dominated both the striking and the ground. Mirko was very worried about the takedown and never got anything going. But both knew th rules going in. Wand should have tried to sub him like he did to Schrijber.

1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS61 NGC....Click the image to load the highest resolution version.
MCMVII Wire Rim Twenty, MS61
1907 $20 High Relief, Wire Rim MS61 NGC. Remember that
your background is your atmosphere, and part of the composition,
and that the composition should extend from edge to edge of the
Bright Yellow-Gold Surfaces
--Augustus Saint-Gaudens
The backgrounds on the numerous bas-reliefs produced by Augustus Saint-Gaudens are certainly not busy, but they do provide subtle but effective "atmosphere" for the subject(s) depicted in the foreground. Likewise, the background of the High Relief twenty is atmospheric from rim to rim. Each side has sun rays that extend outward from the lower center of the central device. This radiant sunburst reinforces the idea of dawn, in this case the dawn of a new American century, and the rays most importantly highlight the figure of Liberty that strides toward the viewer on the obverse. This powerful figure, representative of America and the new century, is made even more prominent by the use of the high relief method of production, a process that required multiple blows from a hydraulic press to produce, but sculptural dimensionality, vibrancy, and what Saint-Gaudens termed "atmosphere" was achieved. This striding, powerful figure of Liberty is fully evident on this MS61 example. The surfaces are bright, yellow-gold with a number of small, but individually unimportant contact marks on each side, which account for the grade.

Man shot by troopers after chaseMay 29,2014
Troopers shoot
suspect in chase
BARTON Police say a man was shot by two state troopers in Vermont after he allegedly stole a vehicle and led officers on a chase before reportedly ramming two police cruisers.
The suspect, Eric Jackson, 27, of Lyndonville, was listed in stable condition Wednesday morning at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center.
Police said he was wanted on escape status from the Department of Corrections; further information was not immediately available.
Police said the vehicle was taken shortly after 2 a.m. from a home on Route 5 in Sutton. After a lengthy pursuit, the vehicle stopped in Barton, changed directions by accelerating in reverse and repeatedly rammed two police cruisers.
Two troopers fired, police said. They were placed on administrative leave.MORE IN This Just In

"This invitation is exactly what we were looking for! It is elegant, with a traditional design. Ours arrived with beautiful color and we are 100% satisfied!"
"I absolutely love the Monogram at the top and the design was perfect. It matched our wedding colors exactly. Wedding Paper Divas even switched to the color we requested prior to ordering and it shipped in 3-5 days. Awesome company!!"
"I had originally planned on going with a custom design from a stationer. However, I loved the design on the Draped Elgance invitation and decided to utilize Wedding Paper Divas instead. This invitation (response card and thank yous in addition) far exceeded my expectations. I ordered in the gold font and the thermography printing style gives it a beautiful sheen in natural light. Additionally, I was more than happy with the quality of the standard paper option."
"I LOVED how well this product turned out! The designers did so well considering my item requests. Each time I've requested something to change on a product, they always go above and beyond my expectations! Thank you WPDs for making my wedding save the dates and invitations magical!"
"I absolutely love my invitations. The pearl shimmer paper is really worth the extra (minor) cost as it enhances the overall classy look. I changed the color of the flowers on the front and the color on the back to the majestic purple and it looks gorgeous. Also changed the wording on the back to a scripture verse. Also ordered the silver envelopes (a minor increase in cost) and they look amazing with the purple. Customer service was so easy to work with! This is my second order with wedding paper divas (also got my save the date photo cards here) and I would definitely use them again!"

My main problem with the DMR is that the zoom lets it lock down almost every BTB map. Its ridiculous how much it breaks Valhalla.
If they reduce the zoom or the accuracy at range, it would fit in fine with the sandbox.
