The fundamental premise of this proposal is that proteins are dynamic entities, that their internal motion is an expression of an inherent and significant amount of conformational entropy and that changes in conformation entropy can greatly influence the energetics of protein function. Below we will summarize recent results that support these assertions. Perhaps the simplest functional context is the binding of a ligand by a protein. Thus our general hypothesis is that the thermodynamics of protein-ligand interactions can be influenced via changes in the protein internal entropy. Though this idea has been in the literature for some time it is only recently that the experimental methods that are capable of illuminating it have become available. We will test the generality of a role for protein dynamics (and the entropy it represents) in molecular recognition by proteins and in the more sophisticated allosteric response. The former will build upon an existing array of examples that indicate a general roughly linear relationship between the contributions of a change in conformational entropy upon ligand binding and the overall binding entropy. Though such a relationship is not required its existence suggests that evolution has exploited conformational entropy in the optimization of protein-ligand thermodynamics. This idea will be quantitatively explored using the recently calibrated "entropy meter" that relies on a dynamical proxy for conformational entropy. Comprehensive measurements of internal protein motion will be undertaken using the now well-established solution NMR relaxation methods. In an effort to more fully understand the propagation of dynamics within the protein matrix, a high-pressure perturbation study of protein motion will be carried out to illuminate coupling of motion. Recent work by others on the catabolite activator protein suggests that conformational entropy may play a central role in protein-DNA recognition. We therefore propose to examine the structural and dynamic properties underlying protein-DNA recognition in the lac repressor. The lac repressor is a paradigm for genetic regulation in prokaryotes. Overall these studies will greatly expand our appreciation of the nature of protein motion and the role of the conformational entropy that it represents in the energetics of protein function.
The physical basis for formation of high affinity complexes involving proteins is key to understanding their role in cellular signaling in human biology and disease. This proposal seeks to test a fundamental hypothesis regarding the contribution of internal protein conformation entropy to the energetics of high affinity interactions involving proteins. Detailed knowledge of such interactions will greatly enhance our understanding of the origins and role of complex biochemical signaling and may also significantly improve the cost effective "rational design" of pharmaceuticals directed at protein targets.

Chat show host Michael Parkinson has sensationally quit the BBC and defected to ITV, he announced today.
The veteran presenter made the move after BBC bosses tried to shunt his talk show into a different slot to make way for the return of Match Of The Day.
"I'm very sorry to leave the BBC, of course I am," he said.
"I have spent 20-odd years of my working life with the BBC and I don't turn my back on that lightly. But when the BBC brought back Match of the Day, effectively my spot had gone.
"When they bought the Premiership, they sold my playing field."
Parkinson said he was sorry to be saying goodbye to the BBC, explaining: "You can't walk away from somewhere after so many years without some regret."
But he was left with no choice but to join a rival broadcaster after "long and protracted" negotiations with the BBC came to nothing.
BBC bosses tried to move the Parkinson show to 9pm on a Wednesday, which he rejected. Their final offer was 9pm on a Saturday - an hour earlier than its current slot.
"In the end, I wanted Saturday and I wanted 10 o'clock on a Saturday, and they wouldn't give it to me. I had a choice - either retire and walk away or go elsewhere," Parkinson said.
"Saturday at 9pm was a very good offer but my view has always been it's a talk show and talk shows belong at 10 o'clock.
"A show at nine o'clock has to become something else, like a variety show. There's nothing wrong with that but I didn't want to do it."
The chat show veteran said BBC bosses were "shocked" when he made the bombshell announcement that he was joining ITV.
He signed the contract only this afternoon after taking the weekend to decide his future.
Describing the reaction of BBC executives, he said: "Of course they were not pleased. They were shocked in a sense because nobody saw this coming. But what can I do? Could I have stayed on doing a show I would be unhappy with? I think not and I think they understood that."
He added: "I just had this predicament and it wasn't one I enjoyed sorting out. ITV made the offer and what they did was give me what I wanted."
Parkinson said his ITV show would be much the same as the one he has presented on BBC1 for the past 18 years.
"The guests won't change, the show won't change," he said. "All I've done is move the show over. It's a proven show and will work just as well on ITV as on the BBC."
The BBC said the last Parkinson show would be broadcast on May 8, with Bruce Forsyth and Boris Becker as guests.
BBC1 controller Lorraine Heggessey said: "Michael Parkinson is the doyen of talk show hosts and it has been fantastic to have his show on BBC1.
"With Match of the Day returning to Saturday nights we were unable to offer Michael the slot he wanted.
"Of course I'm sorry to see him go but BBC1 was already preparing for the future with big names from the next generation who are moving the talk show on."
Executive producer Bea Ballard said: "I've worked with Michael as his executive producer since Parkinson was brought back by the BBC six years ago, in 1998.
"Since then we've completed 12 fantastic series, with many notable and headline-grabbing interviews.
"The show has won many awards and I'm hugely proud of it.
"Michael is a brilliant interviewer and it's been a huge delight to work with him."

Leslie Brenner Recommends
With chef J Chastain in charge of the kitchen, Stephan Pyles' flagship has evolved into one of the best restaurants in Dallas. Formal and focused, his plates dance around the edges of Modern Texas cuisine with originality and aplomb. This year will be its last, so don't delay if you want to check it out. Next year Pyles will open a new flagship up the block, also with Chastain in charge.
After a few years of ups and downs, Stephan Pyles' flagship restaurant in the Dallas Arts District has come roaring back. Its new executive chef, J Chastain, turns out thoughtful, vibrant, seasonal plates whose flavors dance around the edges of Modern Texas cuisine, with South American and Mediterranean influences tossed in the mix. Ceviches are better than ever. Pastry chef Keith Cedotal's desserts are terrific, too. The restaurant will close at the end of the year in advance of relocating, so now's the time to go. Closed Sunday. Full bar. Leslie Brenner/Guide

Barcelona: Spain's Andres Iniesta thought he was offside when he collected the ball and scored the winning goal in the World Cup final, the midfielder said on Tuesday.
"I was only waiting for the pass from Cesc Fabregas and he delivered in a perfect way. He was very quick and for a moment I was alone and I really thought I was offside but I controlled it well and when I hit the ball I knew it had to go in," Iniesta told a news conference.
The extra-time strike on Sunday was the only goal in a bad-tempered final against the Netherlands and secured Spain's first World Cup victory.

Q3 2007: Intel Makes a Profit, AMD a Loss
The two chip manufacturers closed Q3 with a net loss of US$ 396 m for AMD and a profit of US$ 1.9 billion for Intel.
AMD's net loss in the third quarter 2007 was US$ 396 m compared to a loss of US$ 457 m in the previous quarter. Figures are considerably down from last year, when AMD's operating income was US$ 121 m in the same period.
The successful launch of the Quadcore Opteron CPU family and the Radeon 2000 graphics processors gave AMD a slight boost. Turnover totaled just over US$ 1.6 billion, 18 percent more than in the second quarter and 23 percent more than in the same period last year. The third quarter figures also include a negative impact of US$ 120 m due to AMD's acquistion of ATI Technologies in July 2006, according to the announcement by AMD.
Intel's turnover rose by 15 percent to US$ 10.1 in comparison to last year's figures. Net income was US$ 1.9 billion. Intel's announcement (PDF, 109 KByte) states that its microprocessor business was profitable, although average prices were low. Chipsets and flash memory also sold well, according to Intel.

A favorite way of spending my spare time is quilting. It is such a versatile method of creativity. The creations you can make are seemingly endless and there are countless magazines and books you can look at for find new ideas. You can adapt projects to your fit color palate and combine them in unique ways.
I love piecing and quilting. The process relaxes me and I enjoy it so much that I wanted to share my passion with others through teaching the art. In addition to the creative process, there is a lot of history in many of the traditional quilt patterns and I will share these stories with you as well.
Start with small projects and work your way up to a full size quilt or jump right in with a full size quilt! Quilted projects make wonderful gifts or you can even keep them for yourself! Remember: there are no mistakes in quilting, only potholders!
Please join me in my class and we'll have a great time.

Research Data Publishing & Licensing 101
Please join Science Data & Engineering Librarian Anna Sackmann and Scholarly Communication Officer Rachael Samberg for practical tips about why, where, and how to publish and license your research data.
This workshop will be held from 11 a.m.–12 p.m., Doe Library, Rm. 190 (BIDS) on February 16, 2017 as part of Love Your Data Week. Check out the reservation form!
Why Should We Care About Publishing Research Data?
Sharing research data promotes transparency, reproducibility, and progress. Indeed, it can spur new discoveries on a daily basis. It's not atypical for geneticists, for example, to sequence by day and post research results the same evening—allowing others to begin using their datasets in nearly real time (see, for example, Pisani & AbouZahr's paper about this data publishing cycle). The datasets researchers share can, in turn, inform business or regulatory policymaking, legislation, government or social services, and much more.
Publishing your research data can also increase the impact of your research, and with it, your scholarly profile. Depositing datasets in a repository makes them both visible and citable. You can include them in your CV and grant application biosketches. Conversely, scholars around the world can begin working with your data and crediting you. As a result, sharing detailed research data can be associated with increased citation rates (check out this Piwowar et al. study, among others).
Publishing your data may also be required. Federal funders (e.g. National Institutes of Health), grant agencies (e.g. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation), and journal publishers (e.g. PLoS and other journals listed in this Open Access Directory) increasingly require that datasets be made publicly available to readers—often immediately upon associated article publication.
How Do We Publish Data?
Merely uploading your dataset to a personal or departmental website won't achieve these aims of promoting knowledge and progress. Datasets should be able to link seamlessly to any research articles they support. Their metadata should be compatible with bibliographic management and citation systems (e.g. CrossRef or Ref Works), and be formatted for crawling by abstracting and indexing services. After all, you want to be able to find other people's datasets, manage them in a your own reference manager, and cite them as appropriate. So, you'd want your own dataset to be positioned for the same discoverability and ease of use.
How can you achieve all this? It sounds daunting, but it's actually pretty straightforward and simple. You'll just want to select a data publishing tool or service that is built around both preservation and discoverability: It should offer you a stable location or DOI (which will provide a persistent link to your data's location), help you create sufficient metadata to facilitate transparency and reproducibility, and optimize the metadata for search engines.
For instance, UC's Dash tool is a terrific and easy-to-use solution that preserves and publishes your datasets. At the Feb. 16 workshop we're hosting, you can learn more about how to prepare, describe, and upload your data for deposit and publishing with Dash and other tools.
We also recommend that, if your chosen publishing tool enables it, you should include your ORCID (a persistent digital identifier) with your datasets just like with all your other research. This way, your research and scholarly output will be collocated in one place, and it will become easier for others to discover and credit your work.
What Does it Mean to License Your Data For Reuse?
Uploading a dataset—with good metadata, of course!—to a repository is not the end of the road for shepherding one's research. We must also consider what we are permitting other researchers to do with our data. And, what rights do we, ourselves, have to grant such permissions—particularly if we got the data from someone else, or the datasets were licensed to us for a particular use?
To better understand these issues, we first have to distinguish between attribution and licensing. Citing datasets is an essential scholarly practice. But the issue of someone citing your data is separate from the question of whether it's permissible for them to use the data in the first place. That is, what license for reuse have you applied to the dataset?
The type of reuse we can grant depends on whether we own our research data and hold copyright in it. There can be a number of possibilities here. For instance, sometimes the terms of contracts we've entered into (e.g. funder/grant agreements, website terms of use, etc.) dictate data ownership and copyright. Sometimes, our employers own our research data under our employment contracts (e.g. the research data is "work-for-hire"). In some cases, the dataset might not be copyrightable to begin with if it does not constitute original expression. We could run into hot water if we try to grant licenses to data for which we don't actually hold rights. For an excellent summary addressing these "Who owns your data?" questions, including copyright issues, check out this blog post by Katie Fortney written for the UC system-wide Office of Scholarly Communication.
To try to streamline ownership and copyright questions, and promote data reuse, often data repositories will simply apply a particular "Creative Commons" license or public domain designation to all deposited datasets. For instance:
- Dryad and BioMed Central repositories apply a Creative Commons Zero (CC0) designation to deposited data—meaning that, by depositing in those repositories, you are not reserving any copyright that you might have. Someone using your dataset still should cite the dataset to comply with scholarly norms, but you cannot mandate that they attribute you and cannot pursue copyright claims against them.
- UC Dash applies a Creative Commons Attribution (CC-BY) license to datasets deposited by UC researchers. This means that someone using your Dash-deposited dataset not only should cite it to adhere to scholarly norms, but also is required to attribute you as the author.
What's the Right License or Designation for Your Data?
Well, sometimes you don't have a say in the matter, as your funding agreement or the repository you choose dictates the license applied. Otherwise, it's worth considering what your goals are for sharing the data to begin with, and selecting a designation or license that both meets your needs and fits within whatever ownership and use rights you have over the data. Your Scholarly Communication Officer or librarian can help you with this.
Bear in mind that ambiguity surrounding the ability to reuse data inhibits the pace of research. So, try to identify clearly for potential users what rights are being granted in the dataset you publish.

ACS and RSC to require ORCIDs
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) and the Publications Division of the American Chemical Society (ACS) recently signed the ORCID Open Letter. For published articles the two societies will now require ORCIDs (Open Researcher and Contributor IDs) for corresponding authors and will automatically collect and display the ORCIDs of all submitting authors. The RSC announcement states that coordination between the publishers, Crossref and ORCID will ensure that published works are properly attributed.
In adopting the ORCID system RSC and ACS join a number of other publishers and journals including eLife, the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO), the American Geophysical Union (AGU), Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Science journals, Wiley, and Wellcome Open Research.

BSkyB will be hoping a strong set of first-quarter results on Wednesday will draw attention away from the controversy surrounding the satellite broadcaster's chairman, James Murdoch, who is also deputy COO at News Corp. Numis expects profits to be up 14 per cent to about £290m, but net customer additions to have more than halved compared with last year, amid the consumers spending squeeze.
Debenhams should show profit growth on Thursday after a summer of discounts and promotions helped boost its market share. The group, which has 169 department stores in the UK, Ireland and Denmark, managed to turn around falling revenues over the summer after it brought its sale forward by five days. The group last month forecast higher-than-expected profits – a rare move in the retail sector.
The leisure giant Whitbread is expected to unveil strong, half-yearly profits of between £151m and £163m on Tuesday, driven by the performance of its Costa coffee chain. Costa's aggressive expansion has seen 145 new stores open in the first half and another 155 planned for the rest of the financial year. Elsewhere, Whitbread's chain of budget hotels, Premier Inn, is set to post 5 per cent underlying growth.
Home Retail Group
Argos, the 750-store catalogue chain, is expected to have made just £1m in six months after sales tumbled nearly 8 per cent. Its owner, Home Retail Group, is forecast to report a huge 70 per cent plunge in half-yearly profits to £30m on Wednesday. Sales at its garden and homewares chain, Homebase, are also under pressure as cash-strapped customers shy away from purchases such as fitted kitchens.
Dividends jump to more than £20bn
The level of UK dividends rose above £20bn between July and September, according to new figures from Capita Registrars. Third-quarter payouts were up nearly 16 per cent in year-on-year terms. At more than £20.9bn, the level of payouts by companies in the three-month period was the highest since the second quarter of 2008.
Krispy Kreme gets PE investment
The private equity firm Alcuin Capital Partners has backed a management buyout at the doughnut retailer Krispy Kreme UK. The deal, which is valued at £25m, will support the company's plans to take the number of its UK sites to 80 by 2015. The retailer, which entered the UK market in 2003, currently has 45 stores across the country.
Growing divide in house prices
Average property prices in the south of the UK are more than twice as much as those in the north, according to figures from the property website Rightmove. Average prices in the north stand at £164,347, against £336,743. That compares with a national average of £239,672 this month, up from £233,139 last month.
Real incomes fall as basic costs rise
Rising costs and falling incomes continued to put a squeeze on consumers last month, according to Lloyds TSB. The bank said incomes in real terms were 1 per cent lower in September than a year ago, while spending on essential items had risen by 3.5 per cent. The highest growth was in gas and electricity spending.
High taxes hit air passenger levels
More than half of the airlines operating in the UK expect fewer people to fly next year because of higher taxes, according to new figures. Researchers at the lobby group A Fair Tax on Flying Alliance found that 55 per cent of airlines expected passenger numbers to reduce next year, by an average of 5 per cent.
Level of business jet flights rises
The number of daily business aircraft flights in the UK rose by 7 per cent between January and June, according to research from the business jet manufacturer Hawker Beechcraft. There were 390 more daily business flights in the UK over the period, accounting for more than 22 per cent of the total for the EU.Reuse content

The post-round handshakes after a practice round at the PGA Championship were replaced by fist bumps and someone suggested that those in the scrum with Canada's best golfer should don surgical masks before chatting.
Clearly, whatever Graham DeLaet had, nobody wants to catch.
On Saturday night, after struggling through a difficult round at the World Golf Championship Bridgestone Invitational, he went home and started to get sick.
"It was pretty bad," said DeLaet, recounting the past 60 hours. "On Sunday, I literally didn't get out of bed all day. . . except to go to the bathroom."
For the first time in his professional career he was forced to withdraw mid-tournament.
But clearly he wasn't in any shape to tee it up. He was so dehydrated that he needed two IV bags to replenish the fluids. He figures he lost 10 pounds as there was plenty more going out than going in. While he was well enough to play nine holes at Valhalla on Tuesday – and that might be debatable considering the rumpled, fatigued figure that was trudging over the fairways -- he was considering more IVs after he played.
"I'm a little tired, a little weak," DeLaet said. "I'm feeling better physically but it's just kind of taken its toll on me a little bit. But I should be ready to go physically, especially with a late tee time Thursday."
The illness that felled DeLaet came at an awkward time. After a mid-season slow patch in his play, he seemed to find his game at the RBC Canadian Open, tying the course record at Royal Montreal on Friday.
He also played well through the first two rounds in Akron.
Now he'll be playing Valhalla and a major championship with very little groundwork "The preparation will be a little bit different," he said. "Nine holes [Tuesday] and nine holes [Wednesday]. The main thing is just to try and be as physically ready as I can. There's no real expectations and that might be a good thing."
Indeed it could.
At the start of this season, DeLaet admitted that last year he built up the majors too much, putting some roadblocks in his own way. That won't be the case here.
He will rely heavily on the work of caddie Julien Trudeau who has been on several scouting missions around the course to pick out lines for tee shots and try to grab the nuances of the greens. Going in almost blind won't be entirely new for DeLaet. He's zipped around courses sight unseen and had some success in the past.
"I remember when I've gone and played Monday qualifiers, playing a course almost blind and end up shooting six or seven under so hopefully that's the case. We're going to do all we can to be ready but the main thing is to try and be healthy by Thursday."
Exactly because it's unlikely they'll allow him to play with the IV in his arm.

Skip to comments.Coaches Who Prey - Misconduct often goes unpunished by districts
Posted on 04/08/2005 10:33:05 AM PDT by Murtyo
When a friend told coach Stu Gorski in 1995 that Mount Adams School District had hired "a phenomenal wrestling coach," Gorski froze.
"Tell me you didn't hire Randy Deming," he pleaded.
The district had.
Gorski, a football and golf coach in Whatcom County, knew Deming for years as a rival coach at nearby Blaine High School. Gorski also knew of Deming's reputation as a groper of girls who had even been charged with child molestation.
When Gorski learned Deming would also be teaching girls, he warned: "You're putting him back into the fire."
GORDON KING / YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC Randy Deming was acquitted in May on two charges of fourth-degree assault. But the Mount Adams district, in Yakima County, seemed less interested in court records and more in Deming's wrestling record. As one of the most successful coaches in the state, he had a résumé that seemed to shield him from two decades of sexual-misconduct complaints.
Gorski had tried to warn people about Deming, the 1990 Class A Washington state coach of the year. "I even wrote a letter to the Mount Adams School Board," said Gorski, "but never got a reply."
The treatment of Deming is not unusual. In a yearlong investigation, The Seattle Times found that 159 Washington coaches have been reprimanded or fired in the past decade because of sexual misconduct. As with Deming, at least 98 of them continued coaching or teaching afterward.
"I'll be honest, most schools don't follow a code of ethics for their coaches," said Tim Flannery, assistant director of the National Federation of State High School Associations. "They wait for the crisis and scramble to decide how to deal with it."
The Times' investigation found that school administrators often conduct cursory inquiries of sexual-misconduct complaints against coaches and rarely alert police to complaints of sexual abuse despite a Washington law that says they must do so within 48 hours.
Even when school officials find wrongdoing, they often bow to pressure from the teachers union, handing out mild punishments or none at all.
Districts routinely keep investigations secret by failing to document them or by signing agreements with accused coaches promising not to tell. In fact, the Times found 29 coaches who were passed on to new school districts after being disciplined, pushed out or fired for sexual misconduct.
As a profession, coaching has among the highest rates of sexual-misconduct complaints, experts say.
(The Times did not examine private-school coaches because their school files are not public.)
Winning coaches such as Deming often get second and third chances while continuing to victimize girls.
As one former student of Deming's said in a lawsuit against the Blaine School District: "There is no doubt in my mind that had it not been for his record as a wrestling coach, his conduct would not have been tolerated for long and he would not have had the opportunity to molest me."
Championships clouded the town's opinion of Blaine's wrestling coach
There were problems from the start with James "Randy" Deming. Shortly after he started his career with the Blaine School District in 1974 as a high-school coach and elementary gym teacher, students and parents began complaining.
"My little girl, who was only 7, wouldn't go to school on gym days," recalled Janice Staheli, who now lives in Bellevue.
Her daughter, Kim Staheli Louch, who grew up to be valedictorian, traced her avoidance to the day she was stretching in her elementary physical-education class and Deming poked his finger in her crotch.
"It's not a secret that he was touching girls all the time," said Staheli Louch, who agreed to be named by The Times. He demanded kisses before allowing them to leave class for the restroom, she said.
Neither Deming nor his lawyer responded to a reporter's phone calls and letters.
By the late 1970s, Deming had established a top-notch wrestling program at Blaine High School that would bring pride to the border town.
But complaints kept coming. Staheli and half a dozen other mothers complained en masse to the School Board that the coach had groped girls. "They were just stony-faced," Staheli recalled of the elected officials. "They were all sports jocks. They said these complaints were ridiculous. He was a fine person and we were a bunch of women's libbers."
Deming continued to offend, his file shows. In 1985, the district reprimanded him after he admitted asking a girl at the school if she had any nude photos of herself. Two weeks later, he was reprimanded for massaging a girl in the boys locker room.
In 1987, Deming was investigated by police for touching a 10-year-old near her genitals, but no charges were filed.
Superintendent Robert Gilden wrote to him later that year: "Based on your employment history at Blaine, it is apparent that something is seriously wrong."
But Deming kept his job, in large part because he was a local coaching hero, parents and victims said. During his career, Deming took the Blaine wrestlers the Borderites to 14 league championships, 10 district championships, seven regional championships and a state title.
In 1990 the same year he won state coach-of-the-year honors Deming was charged with first-degree child molestation after another 10-year-old reported that he rubbed her breasts and touched her near her genitals.
District officials suspended the coach, and the town revolted.
"He was a big celebrity up in Blaine," said James Hoogestraat, a lawyer representing the 10-year-old victim in an ongoing lawsuit against the district. "People circulated petitions asking that the school not terminate him."
Deming kept his job until March 1991, when Whatcom County Deputy Prosecutor Mac Setter offered a deal: Setter would dismiss charges if Deming resigned and never taught again.
Charges were dropped, and Deming resigned. But it didn't take long before he was teaching again.
But first, the district told the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) about his misconduct. Districts are required to do this when they possess "sufficient information to believe an employee is not of good moral character or has committed an act of unprofessional conduct."
In forwarding the Deming complaint, Blaine was doing more than other districts, which often keep even serious complaints in-house, never putting a teacher's license at risk. In an examination of 10 of the state's largest districts, The Times found 18 cases of serious sexual misconduct that were not reported to the OSPI.
But Blaine had to pay a price. Deming said that the district, in exchange for his resigning, had promised not to reveal his misconduct to anyone, which he argued also included the OSPI.
So Deming sued the district for informing the state and interfering with his chances of landing a new job. Blaine paid Deming $27,500 to drop his lawsuit.
As it turned out, Deming's job prospects were hardly dim.
"Put a résumé out there that says you won more wrestling matches than any other coach in the state, you're going to get a job," said Gorski, his old coaching rival. "There is always someone who is willing to overlook certain kinds of things."
Enter Mount Adams' White Swan High School, which wanted a top wrestling coach and hired Deming in 1995 despite his background.
Deming didn't change his troublesome conduct. Girls there complained of unwanted touching. Mount Adams officials disciplined him five times in the past two school years.
Last March, Deming was charged with two counts of fourth-degree assault with sexual motivation after allegedly touching two eighth-grade girls in his math class. During his May trial, Yakima County jurors heard that Deming's classroom was a chaotic place where students watched "The Maury Povich Show" on television while Deming wrestled with kids and demeaned girls.
"He would tell us that girls are useless and the only thing they're supposed to do was stay home," one girl testified.
The girls said he repeatedly grabbed their shoulders, legs, necks or midsections, pinching and squeezing. One said he put her in a "choker hold" and she had to bite him to get away.
On the stand, Deming didn't deny many of their accounts but gave a positive spin. He said he didn't squeeze girls repeatedly or too hard, that his comments about girls were intended to encourage them to get an education, and that nothing he did was inappropriate.
He said the girls were giving him "payback" because he had disciplined them.
Jurors never heard of his misconduct in Blaine because in criminal cases a defendant's prior conduct can't be used against him except in rare circumstances.
After a three-day trial, jurors decided the coach's conduct was not criminal assault and acquitted him.
Meanwhile, Mount Adams gave Deming notice that he was going to be fired. He is appealing that decision and is on paid leave.
Districts are likely to settle with abusers rather than wage a costly fight
Why should it be so hard to fire a public-school coach who preys on kids?
One problem is that administrators aren't trained to investigate sexual abuse, yet they not qualified social workers or detectives are the ones doing the investigating. As a result, school officials miss warning signs or ignore complaints altogether.
Also, districts do not always document discipline. Seattle school officials, for instance, avoid "papering the file" and give oral instead of written reprimands, Ava Greene Davenport, a district administrator, testified in an open-records lawsuit involving The Times.
Many school officials believe they can do little to keep a coach in line because the teachers union will strenuously fight any discipline. Half of school coaches are also teachers and represented by the Washington Education Association (WEA).
If districts do create a paper trail, teachers have a right under most district contracts to have information removed from their files, including misconduct complaints, after a few years. Over time, a coach who teaches can get a second or third chance, despite repeated complaints. Even when schools can prove serious misconduct, firing a teacher can be costly and drawn-out, district attorneys say.
Once a school decides to discipline, suspend or fire him, a teacher-coach has a right to a hearing before a state administrative-law judge a process that can take months. Meanwhile he is put on leave, collecting pay, while the district pays a substitute as well. And if the district loses its case, it has to pay the coach's lawyer, usually supplied by the WEA.
As a result, school districts weigh the costs and often decide an easier course is getting the coach to resign with a cash settlement. A typical discharge case costs about $100,000, including paid leave, attorney fees and other costs, said Rocky Jackson, a Yakima attorney who has represented many school districts over the past 20 years.
School districts "get into settlement mode because of the cost," Jackson said. "That may not be the best thing, but that's what happens."
School districts often tell potential employers nothing about a coach's past
Luke "Turk" Markishtum, 68, is a prime example. From 1975, when he was hired by the Seattle School District, until 1997, when he finally was pushed out as a teacher and coach, he seemed to play by his own set of rules.
According to two decades of complaints in Markishtum's personnel file, he groped and kissed girls at American Indian Heritage Secondary, bought beer for athletes, falsified their grades so they'd be eligible to play, had sex with his girlfriend on campus and hugged his female students and had them sit on his lap.
Yet nothing happened. No one called police or notified the state of misconduct.
"He feels that he is different and the rules don't apply to him," athletic director Barbara Twardus later told an investigator.
Finally, in 1995, a student said that on her 16th birthday, he grabbed her by the shirt and pulled her toward him so he could kiss her. When Principal Robert Eaglestaff found out, he did nothing, records show.
But a counselor persisted, forcing the school district to hire an investigator, who found another problem. In 1981, during the two years he left Seattle and worked for the Port Angeles School District, Markishtum made newspaper headlines when he was arrested for trying to smuggle six tons of marijuana into the state.
Markishtum made a deal with prosecutors to testify against the supplier. The supplier went to prison; Markishtum went back to the Seattle district.
Nothing in his personnel file indicates the district checked his background before rehiring him.
Markishtum declined to talk about the marijuana case and denied all of the other allegations. In his opinion, he was the victim of a conspiracy by people at the school.
By October 1996, the Seattle School District wanted to fire him but instead signed an agreement: In exchange for Markishtum's resignation, the district would pay him the remainder of his year's salary, an additional $69,000, and keep his record secret from future employers.
The Times found many school districts, including Franklin Pierce, Edmonds and Tacoma, made similar deals, though terms varied.
Even without a secrecy agreement, many school officials say they won't tell the truth about a coach's record because they fear a lawsuit.
Mike Patterson, a lawyer who has represented Seattle and other area districts, said he tells school officials not to discuss a teacher's misconduct when prospective employers call for reference checks. As a result, public schools, which face a shortage of experienced coaches and teachers, have a hard time weeding out unfit candidates.
So it should be no surprise that Markishtum, despite a checkered past, was hired by the North Kitsap School District in 2000.
When contacted in October, North Kitsap spokesman Chris Case said, "This is the first time I've heard this information."
One investigation took 20 minutes before a coach was allowed to continue
Apart from financial considerations, school administrators sometimes harbor another, deeply ingrained reason for not tackling sexual misconduct: fear of making themselves and their schools look bad and upsetting their communities.
Stephen Rubin, chairman of the psychology department at Whitman College and co-author of "Teachers That Sexually Abuse Students," said sex abuse is disturbing and school officials don't want to face it. Their denial is "like the ostrich sticking its head in the ground."
DOCUMENTS Steve Diaz File Times database file Complaint PDF Outcome PDF Family's lawsuit PDF That's what happened in Grant County with the Royal School District, which focused more on winning the big game than on a student's safety, according to a 2002 lawsuit.
In September 2000, teacher Steve Diaz, 25, came to Royal with a reputation as a winning basketball coach, having just taken the Highland High School boys team to the state tournament. But he and other coaches were fired from the Yakima-area school after complaints were made that they went hot tubbing with cheerleaders who had just graduated, records show.
Royal school officials said they knew of the hot-tub incident but hired him anyway to teach middle school and coach high school, in part because of his tournament success.
Six months into Diaz's first year at Royal Middle School, three students were worried when their 13-year-old friend came out of Diaz's classroom with her face rubbed red. She said that it was whisker burn from Diaz kissing her and that she had a crush on the coach.
Her concerned friends told two teachers, who alerted the principal, records show.
The timing was bad for the girls and good for Diaz. It was Feb. 23, 2001, the day of a crucial basketball game that, if Royal won, would put it in the state tournament. And many believed that Diaz, as coach, needed to be there.
Despite the serious allegation, Diaz wasn't removed from the classroom nor put on administrative leave, which is standard procedure. Neither the principal nor other officials reported the complaint to the police or the state superintendent.
GORDON KING / YAKIMA HERALD-REPUBLIC, 2000 Steve Diaz took the Highland High boys basketball team to the state tournament in 2000, but a year later at Royal Middle School he ran into trouble. Diaz was charged with eight sex crimes and pleaded guilty to one count of assault with sexual motivation. Instead, athletic director Preston "Kent" Andersen conducted his own investigation later testifying that, like many school administrators, he had no experience investigating sexual abuse.
The investigation lasted less than 20 minutes, Andersen later testified. He took no notes and asked few questions. Not surprisingly, he found no evidence of wrongdoing. And by 3 p.m., Diaz was cleared to coach the evening's big game.
In all, Diaz and the girl met in his classroom for sexual foreplay four times, according to a police report. The last time, on March 30, 2001, Diaz went much further, forcing the 13-year-old to give him oral sex, according to the report. At that point, she realized that Diaz didn't love her, as she had thought.
"I was just disgusted by everything," the girl later testified. "I was crying and I stood up and he didn't even say anything to me."
In an e-mail, the girl told a friend in detail what happened, and the friend's mother gave the correspondence to school officials.
But even with the e-mail in hand, no one called Child Protective Services or filed a police report. Nor did anyone call the girl's parents until almost a week later, according to testimony in a lawsuit brought by the family.
Instead, the superintendent called the district's risk-management company. It sent an investigator, who questioned the girl over two days. One of those days, school officials bumped into a police officer in the school parking lot, and only then did police get involved. Diaz was charged with eight sex crimes and pleaded guilty in December 2001 to one count of assault with sexual motivation.
Rubin, the psychology professor, has seen this story before. "The real mistake by the school systems is they don't address this as a serious problem," he said.
"They wait until someone sues them, or until a parent comes in and says, 'My little girl was raped.' "
"Deming kept his job until March 1991, when Whatcom County Deputy Prosecutor Mac Setter offered a deal: Setter would dismiss charges if Deming resigned and never taught again." Remind anyone of anything??
"If districts do create a paper trail, teachers have a right under most district contracts to have information removed from their files, including misconduct complaints, after a few years." WOW

Where are the parents ? Why bother with the school officials ? Anyone who touched my daughter inappropriately would be visited by the police in short order, with charges following.
Why did the parents put up with this ???????
I see.
I'm not one for large sweeping law suits that cover teachers, schools, and school districts. But damn, what were they thinking? Fry this bastard and the bastards that knew his history.
As is my distinguished habit, I'm probably missing the key point, but there's High School Girl's Wrestling?
And if there's a coach, I wonder how you can tell if he's actually groping or just showing the girls a new hold? Either way, no way one of the young Eaglettes will be involved in above activity.
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
A visit from me would be first... then an ambulance.
"A visit from me would be first... then an ambulance."
You got that right!!
I don't think he was coaching girls' wrestling. I think he was a PE teacher in addition to being a mens' wrestling coach. Most of the time, these coaches have day jobs as teachers (hence why the teachers' unions are involved.)
Okay, that makes a lot more sense.
(If what I just wrote makes you sad or angry,
I'm not a parent, but I have more understanding for a father who beats the tar out of someone who messed with his kid than one who "puts up with this" - but I think that fatherlessness is a big part of this, those who prey, prey on the unprotected.
Probably a valid point or dad is a metrosexual and the coach met him.
I'm just as much for girls being treated equally when it comes to sports as the next person, but if you've watched high school wrestling, I think parents would be asking for trouble by letting their daughters wrestle boys. Yes, where I live (and probably many other places also), girls and boys wrestle each other. I think it's wrong.
I really don't think these people check into the family life of a kid before molesting them. But, I'm sure they'll keep on if no one arrests them for it. You don't need a Dad to call the police, just the certainty of your conviction that a man touching a minor girl is just plain wrong.
Most of the coaches I encountered were of the "Nightmare on Elm Street Part 2" variety. You didn't want them catching a glance of you in the shower.
Preying is OK, Praying is not.
BTW: When I was in high school, our MARRIED gym teacher received Lewinski's from three of my (female) classmates.
is that Ironic or what??
Most schools don't even follow a code of ethics for teachers. They get in trouble in one school and they just go to another with a vote of confidence from their previous school. The educational establishment is despicable and our legislatures are afraid to buck the educational establishment and move for legislation to stop this assinity.
Oh, I think it plays a part. Having a father helps a girl - making her less likely to accept the advances of a coach/teacher/other authority figure.
"Preying is OK, Praying is not."
My first thought, too. If they'd caught him praying, he'd immediately have been fired, he would have lost his teaching certificate and his union wouldn't haved lifted a finger to help him-he would never see the inside of a gym again.
LOL good, but you don't do your kid much good if you're in jail for assault.
I got two older boys both capable of helping out and I have several brothers in a close family.
Sure it plays a part, but so might a Dad's attitude that males have touched females in these ways for thousands of years and really, were the girls just overreacting or hysterical to a little touch ? Isn't this just a normal part of a girl growing up ? How else do you explain all the Dads of these girls doing nothing ?
"Yes, where I live (and probably many other places also), girls and boys wrestle each other. "
I thought that happened everywhere, except maybe at Castro HS in San Francisco.
I have fond memories of wrestling with a couple of the girls at my high school.
"I have fond memories of wrestling with a couple of the girls at my high school."
I'm sure you do - I would ask who won, but don't want to embarrass you. :)

But then came the last Conservative Party manifesto and the innocuous-sounding Housing and Urban Development Bill. Suddenly, the accord started to fade.
First, the owner of 300 acres of Mayfair and Belgravia worth an estimated pounds 3.5bn is believed to have asked for some of his money back. Then on 3 February, it was revealed yesterday, he resigned as Conservative Party Association president in Chester, a post he had held for 16 years, withdrawing membership at the same time. A long family association - his father was a Tory MP and had preceded him as Chester president - was at an end.
What is the explanation? Yesterday, he partly blamed government policies, saying he could not 'morally stay within a party which I fundamentally believe has ideologically gone off the rails'. The real reason, however, as he said in his letter to his association chairwoman, Jill Everett, was legislation going through the Lords.
The Housing and Urban Development Bill seeks to give flat-owners with leaseholds the legal right to buy their property freeholds, a move which will cost the Duke dear. He said yesterday it was 'distressing from a personal point of view to have heritage over 300 years taken away'.
Whether the Duke, believed to be Britain's richest man, was thinking of heritage or money when he went to the House of Lords for the Bill's Second Reading on Tuesday is unclear. But, preoccupied with something, he took his seat without first swearing the oath of allegiance, which is necessary once in each Parliament. He could be fined pounds 500.
He had to be ushered from his seat to a non-member area of the chamber.

I know everyone, including myself, has been complaining about the
hot weather, broken records for sustained days of high temps, etc.
Could not stand it anymore. It will turn to cooler nights in the
next 2 to 3 weeks, so I am taking the mornings to go out and play in the
garden now. Reworking one small area by pulling out old plants, turning and
working in "good stuff" and then transplanting, mulching, watering in. In
front of arum italicum there is a large rock that now has hellebore foetidus
on either side. In front close to path are Bergenia that turns red in cool
weather and Gold Most glossy fern. Path is lined with limestone. Arum will
come up shortly and all will be green through the winter. Have several other
areas I want to play with if I can find the time and exact plants to
combine. I am even going to order a few new plants (gasp!!).
