NRA likens universal checks to gun registry
WASHINGTON (AP) – The National Rifle Association's executive vice president continued to oppose background checks for all gun purchases despite polls indicating that most NRA members don't share his position.
The NRA's Wayne LaPierre tells "Fox News Sunday" that background checks for all gun purchases would lead to a universal registry of gun owners. Critics say such a registry could lead to taxes on guns or to confiscation.
Mark Kelly, a gun owner married to the former Arizona congresswoman who survived a 2011 shooting, asked LaPierre to listen to his members. He said the current system prevented 1.7 million gun purchases since 1999. However, those potential buyers had other options because many gun sales don't require a background check.
Kelly and LaPierre agree more people seeking to buy guns illegally should be prosecuted.

ShareBullets: Cross Me and I'll Juke You Back
A D.C. pic and some links …
[Behind the Back – Columbia Heights Youth Center – 1400 block of Girard Street NW – K. Weidie]
Want more John Wall? Of course you do. In the second video TAI posted yesterday, Wall could be seen getting crossed up, and it would later surface that the ball-handler was Austin Rivers, son of Doc Rivers who is also ranked No. 2 overall in the ESPNU class of 2011 rankings.
On Rivers' Scouts Inc. profile on ESPN Insider, the 'Weaknesses' section starts:
One definite area of needed improvement that sticks out about Rivers is that not only does he love going to his right the majority of times he has the ball, but if forced to his left he does not attack with the same aggressiveness. When played to his left he is reduced to relying on a one-or-two dribble step-back jumper for the majority of his offense.
Watch the video again (embedded below, this time at the 0:31 mark). Rivers crosses Wall from right to left, drives left to the hoop, and ultimately hits a right-handed scoop shot. Guess Rivers is trying to combat his 'can't go left' scouting report weakness.
But don't worry, Wall gets Rivers back at the 0:40 mark in the video below with a sick hesitation move which I can't count how many times I've watched.
And for the heck of it, highlights of only John Wall at Elite 24.
NBATV – 7:30 pm (EST) - The Washington Mystics, down 1-0 in the best of three opening round playoff series, take on the Atlanta Dream in game two.
ESPNU – 8:00 pm (EST) - John Wall judges the Under Armour Elite 24 Dunk Contest.

Bergamot Oil
- What other names is Bergamot known by?
- What is Bergamot?
- How does Bergamot work?
- Are there safety concerns?
- Are there any interactions with medications?
- Dosing considerations for Bergamot.
What other names is Bergamot known by?Aceite de Bergamota, Bergamot, Bergamot Orange, Bergamota, Bergamotier, Bergamoto, Bergamotte, Bergamotto Bigarade Orange, Citrus Bergamia, Citrus aurantium var. bergamia, Huile de Bergamote, Oleum Bergamotte.
What is Bergamot?Bergamot is a plant that produces a type of citrus fruit. Oil taken from the peel of the fruit is used to make medicine.
Some people treat a skin condition called psoriasis by applying bergamot oil directly to the skin and then shining long-wave ultraviolet (UV) light on the affected area. Bergamot oil is also applied to the skin (used topically) for a tumor caused by a fungal infection (mycosis fungoides) and for pigment loss (vitiligo). It is also used as an insecticide to protect the body against lice and other parasites.
Bergamot oil is sometimes inhaled (used as aromatherapy) to reduce anxiety during radiation treatment.
In foods, bergamot oil is widely used as a citrus flavoring agent, especially in gelatins and puddings.
In manufacturing, bergamot oil is used in perfumes, creams, lotions, soaps, and suntan oils.
Possibly Ineffective for...
- Mental alertness. Using bergamot oil as aromatherapy does not seem to improve mental alertness. In fact, it might decrease mental alertness in heathy adults due to its relaxing effects.
Insufficient Evidence to Rate Effectiveness for...
- Anxiety during radiation treatment. Developing evidence suggests that inhaling bergamot oil as aromatherapy does not help reduce anxiety in people receiving radiation treatment.
- Psoriasis, when used along with UV light. Early research suggests that applying bergamot oil to the skin along with UV light is not more effective than UV light alone for reducing plaque psoriasis.
- Treating a tumor under the skin due to a fungal infection (mycosis fungoides), when used along with ultra-violet (UV) light.
- Protecting the body against lice and other parasites.
- Loss of the color pigment on the skin (vitiligo).
- Other conditions.
Natural Medicines Comprehensive Database rates effectiveness based on scientific evidence according to the following scale: Effective, Likely Effective, Possibly Effective, Possibly Ineffective, Likely Ineffective, and Insufficient Evidence to Rate (detailed description of each of the ratings).
Next: How does Bergamot work?

Flexibility may be the single most important factor in making a successful golfer. A compact, powerful swing is defined by the x-factor—or the relationship of shoulder to hip rotation. "The shoulders should turn at a 90-degree angle over the hips, which should turn 45 degrees—that's the x-factor," says Katherine Roberts, certified golf performance coach and founder of Yoga for Golfers. Stiff shoulders, tight hips, and stubborn hamstrings do little in helping you achieve this ideal swing. What's more, lack of flexibility can also limit your distance off the tee. "Power is a byproduct of flexibility," says Roberts. Flexibility allows for full range of motion, which allows you to reach maximum potential in strength. Practice these 10 exercises 3 to 5 days a week. You'll improve your flexibility in as little as five sessions and see a difference on the course in 30 days.

Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Not the best Star Wars film like everybody says...
I agree I really enjoy the Empire Strikes Back. Out of all the 4 Star Wars films I think that it is the second best of the lot. what annoys me is how unanimously most reviewers automatically point out that Return of the Jedi is the worst of the series.(Many even say that the childish film, TPM is better than ROTJ???!!huh???!!!!!!) To be quite frank, WHY?
After reading surprising reviews from critics and fans alike I feel like it is necessary to point out why ROTJ is better than ESB:
1)First of all, except for the "I am your father" it was not as emotional and sentimental as Return of the Jedi. Sure the "I am your father" statement was a surprise, but I get tears in my eyes when Luke reveals to his sister the truth about how they are siblings. But even that pales compared to the last 40 minutes of the movie which is an extremely dark confrontation between Luke/Darth Vader/Palpatine. Darth Vader's final redemption is just the most touching/meaningful scene out of all the Star Wars movies. And the "I am your father" statement just does not have as much sting as "Father... Father I will not leave you.." and then Anakin dies.. or even "You have failed your highness, I am a Jedi like my father before me."
2)Has anyone ever thought how silly it was for Luke to learn how to become a near Jedi after one afternoon and nearly defeat Vader? Come on, he did not even know how to handle a lightsaber before he met Yoda.. All of a sudden he is doing all those impressive flips and swashbuckling moves? Give me a break. Or how about knowing how to use the force to get to Bespin? How? A Jedi that can barely use the force to lift pebbles. Hello?
3) This movie was slower paced. I must agree that some of the sequences in the asteroid belt seemed to drag at times. Jedi, (the longest of the three) on the other hand gripped you for all its 133 minutes.
4) Where is the big space battle? I like to see spaceships getting blown up... Is this "Star Wars" or "Star Trek"? On the other hand, the Space Battle in ROTJ is widely considered The Greatest Space Battle Ever Filmed.
5) The Battle of Endor was great because it was ironic and unexpected. Everyone says how much they hate the Ewoks but the charming thing about this battle was that the Imperials were supposed to win since Palpatine had foreseen it. I was in turmoil after the line--"Your friends over there on the Endor moon are walking into a trap.. It (the shield generator) is quite safe from your pitiful band...An entire legion of my best troops await them.. Oh! I think that the shield generator will be quite operational when your friends arrive.." After this I thought how could the rebels possibly win when the Empire had the upper hand. When the Ewoks came and surprised everyone I was breathtaken! I always get emotional when I see the underdogs take on a much more powerful foe!
Empire Strikes Back is a great movie in its own right But.. Special kudos goes to the greatest film in cinematic history-- Episode 6:Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)
Go see this again.. Objectively.
Being someone blinded by the hype the first time I saw The Phantom Menace and all the negative reviews that critics gave to this movie, I am not surprised that some SW fans did not like this movie too much. However, I believe that the preceding sentence IS the reason why people did not like this film as much as the original trilogy. My advice to those who did not like the Phantom Menace... Watch it again, but this time objectively. Forget about the hype, the critic's reviews, and the original trilogy.. Just watch this film as it is and I am sure that you will like it MUCH better the second time around.. Like I did. As for my case, I have seen this movie 3 times already (planning on seeing it again next week)because I truly ENJOY this movie! I guess after I saw the movie the first time I was disappointed.. Soon thereafter, I thought about it for a long time and realized that my reasons for disliking the movie were unjustified and due to unfair comparison between this movie (which was just an intro-- a setup btw) and the original trilogy. Which brings me to my next point.. Guys and Gals! Get a grip! The Phantom Menace IS just an intro. Lucas did not mean it to have the profound character development and darkness that Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi had. In one way this movie resembled A New Hope. Like ANH, TPM just threw out all the main characters onto the scene without a proper introduction.. The characters were flat and 2-dimensional.. But hey! This has been Lucas' style for the first movie of both trilogies. I think that his approach is genius. Why? Well, just imagine how good the second and third episodes would be if all (or most) of the character development/plot had been used up in the first movie...That would be catastrophic! Since this first Episode IS just an intro with little character development (much like A New Hope was)it is unfair to compare this movie to Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi which were fantastic, serious, and dark plot-heavy sequels. I think too many people expected this movie to be like the Empire Strikes Back (for instance) which is why they were left disappointed. Trust me! the purpose of this movie is to have fun, to become acquainted with the characters, and to appreciate all the foreshadowing and cues that this movie set up magnificently for a darker, more plot-heavy Episode 2.
Rocky IV (1985)
The best one out of the 5!!!
Rocky 4 was utterly spectacular. I know that the critics would say that Rocky 1 was the best, but for me I did not get nearly as much inspiration from the first one as I did in this film. This movie did such a marvelous job of depicting Drago as some omnipotent, unbeatable adversary. Throughout the movie I was left thinking, ..." How the heck will Rocky beat this monster??"
Well... Rocky knew his challenge at hand and despite all the odds, (including that his best friend Apollo Creed got killed), was able to overcome them all. I thought that Drago clearly had all the advantages.. He was stronger (hitting 1850 psi with each punch!!!) , bigger, used steroids among other things. Rocky surely showed amazing perseverance to be able to come out on top.
I loved the training scenes. They portrayed another huge advantage the Russian had---training with computer technology. On the other hand, Rocky had only nature to assist him in his seemingly impossible challenge. This part of the movie beautifully depicted (more so than the other 4 movies), Rocky's seriousness for this battle. His stern disposition throughout and amazing feats such as climbing that tall mountain illustrate this fact.
And as for the final fight?? Man.. That was spectacular. Gotta see it to believe it. The biggest emotional ride I have ever had in a movie. This movie brought tears to my eyes as I can only sit and wonder.. "How can someone be so extremely perseverant as Rocky Balboa was?" This movie to me, is an icon of inspiration and espouses an unrelenting attitude to achieve any goal you have in life.
For these and many other reasons, Rocky 4 is probably my second favorite movie (A VERY, VERY CLOSE SECOND just behind Return of the Jedi) of all time. I must have seen this thing over 30 times.. minimum. I do not care if the critics thought this movie was lackluster compared to Rocky 1 and 2.... To me, this movie is a classic. Very close to being the best ever.
Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983)
The best movie of the Star Wars Trilogy.
I thought that ROTJ was clearly the best out of the three Star Wars movies. I find it surprising that ROTJ is considered the weakest installment in the Trilogy by many who have voted. To me it seemed like ROTJ was the best because it had the most profound plot, the most suspense, surprises, most emotional,(especially the ending) and definitely the most episodic movie. I personally like the Empire Strikes Back a lot also but I think it is slightly less good than than ROTJ since it was slower-moving, was not as episodic, and I just did not feel as much suspense or emotion as I did with the third movie.
It also seems like to me that after reading these surprising reviews that the reasons people cited for ROTJ being an inferior film to the other two are just plain ludicrous and are insignificant reasons compared to the sheer excellence of the film as a whole. I have heard many strange reasons such as: a) Because Yoda died b) Because Bobba Fett died c) Because small Ewoks defeated a band of stormtroopers d) Because Darth Vader was revealed
I would like to debunk each of these reasons because I believe that they miss the point completely. First off, WHO CARES if Bobba Fett died??? If George Lucas wanted him to die then he wanted him to die. Don't get me wrong I am fan of Bobba Fett but he made a few cameo appearances and it was not Lucas' intention to make him a central character in the films that Star Wars fans made him out to be. His name was not even mentioned anywhere in the movie... You had to go to the credits to find out Bobba Fett's name!!! Judging ROTJ because a minor character died is a bit much I think... Secondly, many fans did not like Yoda dying. Sure, it was a momentous period in the movie. I was not happy to see him die either but it makes the movie more realistic. All the good guys can't stay alive in a realistic movie, you know. Otherwise if ALL the good guys lived and ALL the bad guys died this movie would have been tantamount to a cheesy Saturday morning cartoon. Another aspect to this point about people not liking Yoda's death.. Well, nobody complained when Darth Vader struck down Obi Wan Kenobi in A New Hope. (Many consider A New Hope to be the best of the Trilogy) Why was Obi Wan's death okay but Yoda's not... hmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Another reason I just can not believe was even stated was because people found cute Ewoks overpowering stormtroopers to be impossible. That is utterly ridiculous!! I can not believe this one!! First off, the Ewoks are in their native planet Endor so they are cognizant of their home terrain since they live there. If you watch the movie carefully many of the tactics the Ewoks used in defeating the stormtroopers was through excellent use of their home field advantage. (Since you lived in the forest all your life I hope you would have learned to use it to your advantage) They had swinging vines, ropes, logs set up to trip those walkers, and other traps. The stormtroopers were highly disadvantaged because they were outnumbered and not aware of the advantages of the forest. The only thing they had was their blasters. To add, it was not like the Ewoks were battling the stormtroopers themselves, they were heavily assisted by the band of rebels in that conquest. I thought that if the stormtroopers were to have defeated a combination of the Star Wars heros, the band of rebels, as well as the huge clan of Ewoks with great familiarity of their home terrain, that would have been a great upset. Lastly, if this scene was still unbelievable to you.. How about in Empire Strikes Back or in A New Hope where there were SEVERAL scenes of a group consisting of just Han Solo, Chewbacca, and the Princess, being shot at by like ten stormtroopers and all their blasters missed while the heros were in full view!! And not only that, the heroes , of course, always hit the Stormtroopers with their blasters. The troopers must have VERY, VERY bad aim then! At least in Empire Strikes Back, the Battle of Endor was much more believable since you had two armies pitted each other not 3 heroes against a legion of stormtroopers. Don't believe me? Check out the battle at Cloud City when our heroes were escaping Lando's base. Or when our heros were rescuing Princess Leia and being shot at (somehow they missed)as Han Solo and Luke were trying to exit the Death Star.
The last reason that I care to discuss (others are just too plain ridiculous for me to spend my time here.) is that people did not like Darth Vader being revealed! Well, in many ways that was a major part of the plot in the movie. Luke was trying to find whether or not Darth Vader was his father, Annakin Skywalker. It would have been disappointing if the movie had ended without Luke getting to see his father's face because it made it complete. By Annakin's revelation it symbolized the transition Darth Vader underwent from being possessed by the dark side (in his helmet) and to the good person he was Annakin Skywalker (by removing the helmet). The point is that Annakin died converted to the light side again and that is what the meaning of the helmet removal scene was about. In fact, that's is what I would have done in that scene too if I were Luke's father...Isn't that what you would have done if you wanted to see your son with your own eyes before you died and not in a mechanized helmet?
On another note, I think a subconscious or conscious expectation among most people is that the sequel MUST be worse (even if it is better) that preceding movies is another reason that ROTJ does not get as many accolades as it deserves. I never go into a film with that deception in mind, I always try to go into a film with the attitude that "Well, it might be better or worse that the original .. But I can not know for sure.. Let's see." That way I go with an open mind and do not dupe myself into thinking that a clearly superior film is not as good as it really was.
I am not sure who criticizes these movies but, I have asked many college students and adults about which is their favorite Star Wars movie and they all tell me (except for one person that said that A New Hope was their favorite) that it is ROTJ. I believe that the results on these polls are appalling and quite misleading.
Bottom line, the Return of the Jedi was the best of the Trilogy. This movie was the only one of the three that kept me riveted all throughout its 135 minutes. There was not a moment of boredom because each scene was either suspenseful, exciting, surprising, or all of the above. For example, the emotional light saber battle between Luke and his father in ROTJ was better than the one in the Empire Strikes Back any day!!!
Finally, I hope people go see the Phantom Menace with an open mind because if fans start looking for nitpicky, insignificant details (or see it as "just another sequel") to trash the movie such as "This movie stinks because Luke is not in it!" then this meritorious film will become another spectacular movie that will be the subject of derision like ROTJ suffered unfortunately.

Day Four
We all slept a little uneasy leading into day four, knowing what the next day held in store for us - a WOD at a Marietta, GA fire station in the predicted 106 degree record heat. We were greeted warmly (pun intended) by the crew on duty and many others who were off duty and came in just to meet and support SeeFit. The Mopsick family showed up with a big group of their friends and we were all briefed on what was about to go down.
We'd be completing "Blitz," their benchmark WOD and we were going to get geared up in 50 pounds of fire suit including a tank, gloves, and helmet…
Needless to say, we were all a little nervous. Doing a WOD by itself is hard enough, now add the element of a full fire suit and 105 degree weather and we weren't just sweating from the heat trapping suit…
After about an hour of running through waves of the team individually completing Blitz, it was all over. Brutal. The heat normally generated by your body gets trapped in the suit from head to toe, so at times it's almost overwhelming enough to stop you in your tracks. But after everyone was fairly recovered, we were able to run through their training obstacle course, and then to our surprise treated to a HUGE breakfast cooked by the squad on duty.
All in all, we couldn't possibly have asked for more. It was a good change of pace from the typical CrossFit box, we met a ton of great people, and the kids had a blast, running around and through the obstacle course in their plastic fire hats and sticker badges.
Throwing up "the U" in front of the G.T. football stadium with two kids touring the campus from Memphis, Tennessee.
The night took us into the city and onto the Georgia Tech. campus. After an awesome dinner at Publik, we met and socialized with a few on campus fraternities and sororities. We decided to make it an early night in preparation for our team competition at CrossFit Atlanta the next morning. Check back in to see how we almost missed it!

Unadulterated Junk,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Ordered for Nikon D-7000:
This thing does not fit the hand properly. It does not hold your hand to the camera and/or camera to hand properly because it rides out on the knuckles instead of back toward the wrist. You can't get your thumb and forefinger into the proper position to operate the camera controls. It just simply does not fit anatomically correct. Probably designed and made by some idiot that has never had a camera in its hands in its entire life.
That was $8 wasted! Don't anyone else fall for this item and waste your money.

Italy's Monti Calls Hollande to Congratulate Him on Win
Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti telephoned Francois Hollande to congratulate him on his victory in France's presidential election, according to a statement from Monti's office.
Monti and Hollande said they would seek to work closely together, according to the statement. Monti also spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, European Union President Herman Van Rompuy and U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron to discuss European policy in light of the outcome of the French and Greek elections.
Along with Hollande's victory, the outcome of the Greek vote, which failed to produce an outright winner, compels European leaders "to reflect" and "urgently adopt concrete policies for economic growth," Monti said in the statement.
Stefano Fassina, head of economic policy for the Democratic Party that supports Monti in the legislature, urged the premier to delay parliamentary approval of Europe's so-called "fiscal compact" and slow a plan to reduce the budget deficit in order to increase public investment, according to an interview with la Stampa newspaper published today.
Hollande's win marked "a defeat for the blind austerity advocated by the European Central Bank that is dragging everyone down," Fassina told la Stampa.

You know you want some.
That lady on the left looks envious.
I saw this kid performing outside Wawel Castle in Krakow. After listening to him play for a while I threw some change in his hat and asked him if could take his picture, he simply nodded and kept playing. I took quite a few shots but I found this was the most intense with him staring directly into the camera with those piercing eyes.

moreIn The Darker Nations, Vijay Prashad provided an intellectual history of the Third World and told the story of the rise and fall of the Non-Aligned Movement.
With The Poorer Nations, Prashad takes up the story where he left it. Since the '70s, the countries of the Global South have struggled to express themselves politically. Prashad analyzes the failures of neoliberalism, as well as the rise of the BRIC countries, the Group of 12, the World Social Forum, the Latin American revolutionary revival—in short, all the efforts to create alternatives to the neoliberal project advanced militarily by the US and its allies, among whom number the IMF, the World Bank, the WTO, and other economic instruments of the powerful.A true global history, The Poorer Nations is informed by interviews with leading players such as senior UN officials, as well as Prashad's pioneering research into archives of the Julius Nyerere–led South Commission. less

"Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another" — Thomas Hobbes, 17th century English philosopher.
*Remember when Michigan was talking so much about the need to increase the number of college degrees among its populace?
And now: Jackson Community College saw a 12 percent enrollment decline for its winter (current) semester, on top of a 12 percent decline in the fall semester. "A decrease in government money awarded to students has been a major factor in this year's enrollment decline, officials have said.

Judging by this map, the healthiest areas are clustered around, but not necessarily in, urban cores: Marquette, Traverse City, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Detroit, Mt.Pleasant, Ann Arbor. Or maybe the linkage is just greater access to hospital/clinic facilities. Whatever the linkages, living in the northeast quadrant of the Lower Peninsula is NOT good for your health:
* Bridge Magazine has reported before on the resilience of, and myth-making around, the agriculture industry in Michigan. In short, agriculture, or agri-business, did well in the recession. Unfortunately, a report out of MSU ended up being the spark for a bunch of mythical claims about agriculture — namely that it is the state's "second-largest" industry.
Now, MSU is back with an updated version of the report, in which it links agriculture to $91 billion in economic activity and to more than 900,000 jobs. This would mean, of course, that agriculture accounts for somewhere between 1 in 4 or 1 in 5 jobs in the state.
A quick review of the report does not yield any specific claims about it being Michigan's "second-largest" industry. And the big numbers it points to are the product of including far more than farmers in the field and the crops they grow. It also includes food retailers, horticulture and, well, a haystack full of sectors. (By the way, actual farm work is credited with just over 70,000 jobs in Michigan.)
So, if you hear a politician, businessperson, farmer or anyone else making the second-largest claim, point them to the actual study and ask them to read it … carefully:

"(L)iving in the northeast quadrant of the Lower Peninsula is NOT good for your health." Mr. Melot, correlation does not equal causation. As an experienced reporter you should know that. Poorer health outcomes in the northeast Lower may well be a result of demographic variables. Please use accurate wording.
This is very unfortunate. Is there any impact of this kind on other community colleges in the state?
We have always been a nation with two paradigms going on at the same time – helping yourself and getting help from others. There is nothing wrong with this idea…. sometimes you can do it alone, other times you need assistance.
The real question are "What are people doing who were attending this school and how is it benefitting them? "and "Is the thing they are currently doingas viable both for long term and short term use as their attending school?"

The concept of using, as an alternative fuel for combustion engines, ethanol from renewable agricultural carbohydrate feedstocks is by no means new. A.J. Kluyver already remarked in his inaugural address in 1922: "Their gradual depletion and the resulting higher price of fossil raw materials will consequently entail that the chemical industry will gravitate more and more towards procuring its starting materials immediately from the present-day plant world…For a considerable time, a search for petrol substitutes has already been instituted, and universally the conviction has been gained that industrial alcohol offers the best prospects"[1]. As a result of concerns about the limited reserves of fossil feedstocks, geopolitical issues, and the potential climate change consequences of large-scale carbon dioxide release, this process has met with renewed interest.
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has always been the organism of choice for the large-scale industrial production of ethanol from carbohydrate feedstocks. However, S. cerevisiae can only ferment a narrow range of sugars (essentially hexoses and disaccharides) to ethanol. Agricultural biomass, and in particular its hemicellulose fraction, contains substantial amounts of the pentose sugars d-xylose and l-arabinose. The conversion of S. cerevisiae into an efficient xylose-fermenting yeast has therefore long been one of the major challenges in yeast metabolic engineering. Several non-Saccharomyces yeasts are capable of fermenting xylose to ethanol. In such yeasts, xylose metabolism is initiated by two redox reactions that convert the aldose sugar xylose into xylulose, its keto isomer. The first of these reactions is catalysed by a (generally NADPH-dependent) xylose reductase (EC 126.96.36.199) that reduces xylose to xylitol. In a second step, xylitol is oxidized to xylulose via a (generally NAD+-dependent) xylitol dehydrogenase (EC 18.104.22.168). Many elegant metabolic-engineering studies have been based on the combined expression of the Pichia stipitis xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase genes in S. cerevisiae[2–5]. In combination with additional genetic modifications (e.g., the overexpression of xylulokinase and pentose-phosphate pathway enzymes) this has resulted in significant rates of xylose fermentation, but these were invariably accompanied by the formation of substantial amounts of xylitol and/or glycerol. The formation of these byproducts is an inevitable consequence of an imperfect match of the cofactor specificities of xylose reductase and xylitol dehydrogenase [6,7].
In principle, the intrinsic redox problem associated with the xylose reductase/xylitol dehydrogenase approach can be avoided by expression of a heterologous gene encoding xylose isomerase (EC 220.127.116.11). The viability of this concept has recently been proven by the functional expression of the Piromyces xylose isomerase gene in S. cerevisiae[8]. In contrast to bacterial and Archaeal xylose isomerase genes that have been tested previously, the fungal gene [9] yields high xylose-isomerase activities when introduced in S. cerevisiae[8].
By itself, expression of a xylose isomerase in S. cerevisiae does not enable fast fermentation of xylose. Prolonged selection of a xylose isomerase-expressing strain in aerobic, oxygen-limited and anaerobic batch cultures was required to obtain a strain that could slowly grow anaerobically on xylose with a specific growth rate of 0.03 h−1 but with a high ethanol yield [7]. In a subsequent study, knowledge-based metabolic engineering has been used to improve the kinetics of xylose fermentation [10]. Expression of the Piromyces XylA gene was combined with the overexpression of the native S. cerevisiae genes encoding xylulokinase (EC 126.96.36.199), ribose 5-phosphate isomerase (EC 220.127.116.11), ribulose 5-phosphate epimerase (EC 22.214.171.124), transketolase (EC 184.108.40.206) and transaldolase (EC 22.214.171.124). Moreover, to prevent the formation of even small amounts of xylitol, the S. cerevisiae GRE3 gene, which encodes an aldose reductase, was deleted. The engineered strain RWB 217 exhibited an anaerobic specific growth rate on xylose of 0.09 h−1 and efficiently produced ethanol from xylose. However, a diauxic growth pattern was observed on glucose–xylose mixtures [10]. The low rate and non-exponential kinetics of xylose consumption in these mixed-substrate batch cultures suggested that the affinity of xylose transport for its substrate might be a key factor in the slow xylose consumption.
When industrially relevant phenotypes of a microorganism can be coupled to the specific growth rate and/or the affinity for a nutrient, a rational natural selection approach may offer an attractive alternative to targeted metabolic engineering. This approach, which has been termed 'Evolutionary Engineering', has been applied successfully to a number of industrial microorganisms and processes [11–14]. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the applicability of evolutionary engineering for improvement of mixed-sugar utilization kinetics of a xylose-fermenting S. cerevisiae strain.

Per quarter.
I am looking for them to increase the dividend sometime this year as now it is $0.64 per year for a return to investors of approx. 4%, and since its earnings are north of $1.22 per year, they can easily do so.

DVD Length: 4 Hours
This video by Kathryn Stats is the last of 3 videos that we were privileged to film with Kathryn in our studio. The first two videos demonstrated her ability to paint any subject by first showcasing a pacific ocean beach scene and then a western mountain scene, while this final video shows her ability to capture a quiet and peaceful pastoral scene in the same, spectacular manner..
It is, of course, up to Kathryns usual standards and is filled with comments about her painting decisions and choices as she proceeds from beginning to end. Join Kathryn as she expertly captures the scene in the alla prima method, using a previously painted study and a computer monitor for references, while using both palette knife and, mostly, bristle brushes.
If youve watched any of Kathryns previous DVDs, you know what to expect and she delivers in this one as well. If you havent seen Kathryn paint youre in for a treat, as she deftly, but loosely, paints the important details that make the painting come to life. Her love of color, her unerring sense of proper light and her skillful brushwork make her strong, deliberate paintings feel effortless.
In her own words: "I think a good painting is like a good musical composition." Kathryn states, "It has harmony and rhythm, contrast and theme, sometimes even soloists. Those elements rarely just occur in a natural landscape. I find that I emphasize with detail and color, omit some things, mute others, even rearrange elements to create a composition that conveys my visual experience, my joy, to the viewer. It is this challenge that keeps me painting."-Ralph LiliedahlReview Copyright 2011 by Ralph Liliedahl, All Rights Reserved.

Chesapeake Energy Corp said on Thursday the company and Chief Executive Aubrey McClendon are under scrutiny by the Securities and Exchange Commission as part of an informal inquiry.
Reuters first reported last week that regulators in the agency's Fort Worth office were looking into a controversial program that grants McClendon a share in each of the wells Chesapeake drills.
Chesapeake did not specify what regulators were examining but said the company and McClendon were asked to retain certain documents, Chesapeake said in a statement.
News of the SEC probe followed the Reuters report that McClendon had borrowed as much as $1.1 billion against his minority share of company wells granted to him under a corporate perk called the Founders Well Participation Program.
The loans were previously undisclosed to shareholders and McClendon's biggest lender, EIG Global Energy Partners, is also a big financier for Chesapeake -- a situation that raises potential conflicts, analysts and academics have said.
On Wednesday, a Reuters investigation found that McClendon ran a lucrative $200 million hedge fund on the side that traded in the same commodities Chesapeake produces.
Chesapeake and McClendon are cooperating with the SEC and the regulators. The SEC noted in its request, which Chesapeake received on Wednesday, that its inquiry does not mean a violation of security laws has occurred, Chesapeake said.

Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
Terpsichore, the ancient Greek goddess of dance, must be smiling down from her home on Mt. Helicon at Pall's (Back East) splendid first entry in this cleverly themed series with its insights into the egos, jealousies, pains and passions of a Manhattan ballet company. Juliet Bodine, a successful writer of Regency novels and ex-professor of English literature at Barnard, puts aside her own deadlines to give literary advice to her longtime friend, Ruth Renswick, choreographer for the Jansch Ballet Company of New York, who is creating a new ballet based on Charles Dickens's Great Expectations. A ballet fan herself, Juliet is fascinated by the personalities of the company and the process of creating a new production. When a lead dancer dies suddenly, she's convinced it was murder, but her old Harvard friend, police detective Murray Landis, concludes the death was a suicide. Case closed, but not for Juliet. From the executive director to the lowliest member of the corps, the characters come alive through Juliet's astute observations and the extremely well-crafted dialogue. Vivid settings capture summer in New York, and one can almost feel the heat and steam of the ballet studio. Both mystery fans and ardent balletomanes will be left with great expectations and eager anticipation for the next in the series.

From Library Journal
In this new series, Regency romance writer Juliet Bodine helps her long-time choreographer friend Ruth Renswick iron out some glitches in a dance production of Great Expectations. Her observant eye also notes a bit of sabotage in the practice room that injures a lead dancer. Murder ensues, threatening to unhinge the production. Events in the practice room helped alleviate Juliet's writer's block, but now she must contend with detectives one of whom happens to be a friend from college days. A wonderful plot, a fascinating look at the world of ballet, and a unique approach to sleuthing recommends this to most collections. Pall is a novelist (Among the Ginzburgs) and freelance journalist.

Some good things about the book: Pall's portrayal of a regency romance writer at work (or tryng not to work as the case maybe.) She breaks with the tradition of a lot of romance writers as portraying their profession as filled with sexually frustrated spinsters. I also liked the relationship between Ms Bodine and her friend Ruth Renswick. It's nice to see such an imperfect but clearly affectionate relationship between mature women. As I said, Pall writes beautifully and sensually about the professional dancers. They are not caricatures and there is almost a voyeuristic pleasure in watching them interact with one another.
On the downside, the romantic interest is not particularly interesting and, as I mentioned, the resolution lacks punch.
When her college friend, Ruth Renswick, a choreographer for the Jansch Ballet in Manhatten, asks for help with her new venture, GREAT EXPECTATIONS, based on the novel by Charles Dickens, Juliet is drawn in like flies to honey. And the readers are drawn in by the very realistic descriptions of life in and around a ballet troupe. This is the first of a new series on the nine muses; this one, of course, is in honor of Terpsichore, goddess of dance.
Unfortunately, the lead male dancer soon turns up dead, and another college friend turns up as the investigating detective. Murray Landis is also a sculptor who plays a wicked game of softball on the side. The two of them--Juliet and Murray--dance their own pas de deux while sorting out the clues that lead everywhere but to the proper conclusion.
If you've ever read any Regency novels by Fiona Hill, you'll be prepared for the excellent writing of Ellen Pall, her alter ego. If not, you'll have a wonderful treat with this very witty, very literate, very enjoyable mystery novel that doesn't believe in rushing around, working up a sweat, looking here, there and everywhere for clues. The dancers do enough of that, thank you, but you will also, no doubt, enjoy the vicarious pleasure of visiting Juliet's upper West-Side apartment. It's to die for!
So pull up a cozy rocking chair, and settle in for some of the best word-play to be found in recent years. And don't be in such a big hurry that you'll miss any of the enticing and tantalizing hints of things to come. This was the first of a series; I'm really looking forward to book two! Which muse will it be this time?
Another aspect of this book worthy of note is the relationship between the two detectives. I will enjoy watching what is clearly an incipient romance develop. Ellen Pall is clearly experienced in the art of creating a convincing romance. Indeed, so well-written. .... .... ....
Ruth asks Juliet to provide an opinion on the work in progress because her whole career rides on the success of this show. Juliet provides advice as to how to tighten the production. When Anton Mohr slips, Juliet's superior sense of smell catches a whiff of talc mixed in with the rosin normally used to wipe floors. When Anton dies from an overdose of Ecstasy, Juliet feels a homicide occurred. As she continues to observe the rehearsals, Juliet watches everyone to insure that a killer doesn't walk away from his crimes.
CORPSE DE BALLET gives readers an insider's look at a ballet company from the corps d'esprit to the petty jealousies and all the hard work needed for success. The intrepid heroine uses her olfactory sense to alert the audience that the game is afoot. Her interaction with Ruth adds an extra dimension especially since they also fuss and fight. Ellen Pall has written a delightful mystery.
