ERUNT is a registry backup and restore program for Windows. You can backup the registry to a folder of your choice. System and current user registries selectable. Command line switches for automated registry backup and restoration. Restore the registry in Windows and MS-DOS. Included in the package: NTREGOPT program for optimizing the registry.

I use ERUNT since Windows 98 and I find myself using it again with Windows 10...
This tool is really great !!
Reviewing 1.1j (Oct 8, 2013)
if you are running your windows PC without this program you are NUTS! My butt was just saved because I had installed it on a friends PC which shortly afterward (days) suffered a catastrophic failure where it would not boot. Using the Windows CD I was able to finally get to the ERDNT folder and restore the registry to a known working condition. It was my final attempt after about 5 hours of trying to achieve some sort of progress on a PC that appeared to be suffering from some inexplicable Hard Drive failure. However the hard drive when placed in another PC was producing no symptoms of problems. God Bless the Writer of this software. It is OUTSTANDING!!!!
Reviewing 1.1j (May 29, 2013)
Fabulous program. Saved me from the fbi virus and have used other times when registry corrupted. If your laptop will not load, easy solution if you have another computer is to place the hard drive in a usb case and connect to working computer. Modify inf file for the backup you want to use to change the drive letter to the drive letter your hard disk in the case is showing and then click on the backup. Have not tried yet on windows 7, but great for xp
Reviewing 1.1j (Aug 13, 2012)
To get the daily Registry backups in Windows 7/Vista without completely turning off MS's UAC, run TweakUAC v1.0. Select 'Quiet Mode'. Now eruNT runs as it did on prior MS Windows versions.
Be careful about directing your Registry backups to a drive other than C:. You won't be able to see them, nor run erdNT from outside of Windows, if you have to use the Recovery Console.
Reviewing 1.1j (Apr 25, 2012)
I have used ERUNT since many years, mainly with Windows XP. It is definitely one of the best tools you can find! Now I am using Windows 7 and am a bit concerned that it could cause some complications. The reason is the statement in the FAQ on the website: "Also, a problem has been discovered which on many systems causes ERDNT and NTREGOPT to display a 'RegSaveKey: 3' error when optimizing / restoring the BCD00000000 hive. The cause is that after a clean install of Windows 7, the BCD part of the registry which contains Windows' boot configuration data, resides on a hidden system partition with no drive letter assigned in Explorer. You can simply ignore this error and continue, or as a workaround, open Disk Managemant in Control Panel and right-click on the partition displayed as 'System Reserved' to assign a drive letter."
I only find two "Healthy Primary Partitions" (one big and one small) that have no drive letters at all, and I cannot assign a drive letter to any of them. "Change Drive Letter…" is grayed out. Maybe things are different in Windows 7 Ultimate, or maybe they changed with SP1 or some update.
So I am strongly hoping and eagerly waiting for a new version that is completely compatible with Windows 7, without any potentially scary little problems! It seems to have been announced for quite some time now…
In my Windows 7 Ultimate I can go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Manage-ment > Disk Management – I don't see a more direct way… – and there I cannot find any "System Reserved" anywhere. So what can I do?
Is there any risk involved with assigning a drive letter to it, once I have found it? What can in the worst case happen if I simply ignore the error, as mentioned above? And what do ERUNT and ERDNT do once I have found "System Reserved" and given it a drive letter? And also: How does Windows 7 Ultimate react if I give it a drive letter?
I have the feeling that these points do need some clarification.
To check which User accounts are included in the backup open the file ERDNT.INF - the restore paths for the numbered User folders are listed at the end of this file.
To get ERUNT working correctly under Vista or Win7 see my install notes here:
I installed and ran erunt for the first time. This looks like a great program; however, the question I have is: After doing the backup, I went to the users folder in the backup destination and noticed that the users are numbered. How does one know which user is which? I would like to be sure that a particular user is backed up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Joe.

World fossil fuel subsidies and global carbon emissions
Larsen and Shah present evidence on the level of fossil fuel subsidies and their implications for carbon dioxide emissions. They conclude that substantial fossil fuel subsidies prevail in a handful of large, carbon-emitting countries. Removing such subsidies could substantially reduce national carbon emissions in some countries. Global carbon emissions could be reduced by 9 percent, assuming no change in world fossil fuel prices, and by 5 percent when accounting for estimated changes in world prices. Larsen and Shah estimate world energy subsidies to be more than US$230 billion. The welfare costs of these subsidies are more than US$20 billion, not including the cost of greenhouse gas and local pollution from fossil fuel consumption. Net fossil fuel importers in Japan, the United States, and Western Europe are estimated to experience welfare gains of about US$14 billion, while welfare effects would be negative in exporting countries in the event of a dampening effect on world fossil fuel prices associated with the removal of subsidies. Eliminating these subsidies would translate into an average 21 percent reduction in carbon emissions in the subsidizing countries, or 20 percent of OECD emissions. To achieve an equivalent reduction in tons of emissions in the OECD countries would require imposing a carbon tax of $60-$70 per ton of carbon, even when accounting for estimated changes in world fossil fuel prices.

Mother of man at center of rampage in court
SANTA ANA The mother of a 20-year-old who authorities say went on a killing, carjacking and shooting spree across Orange County last week, leaving four dead, appeared in court Monday in her own hit-and-run case.
Sarwat Syed, 43, and her family are "searching for answers themselves, and they're searching for meaning themselves in these tragic events," said her attorney, Vincent LaBarbera Jr., after Superior Court Judge Gregg Prickett set another pretrial date for Syed for April 15.
Authorities say her son, Ali Syed, 20, carried out last week's rampage that began at his parents' Ladera Ranch home and ended in Orange when he killed himself. A motive for the Feb. 19 crimes has remained elusive.
"The Syeds are victims in this case, just as much as other people are victims," said LaBarbera, after Sarwat Syed made a 60-second appearance, hiding her face with tissue and leaving immediately afterward with a hood pulled over her head as television cameras tried to catch a glimpse of her. "I know we all try to seek a meaning. We all try to connect the dots."
His client and her husband have been trying to make sense of the events, the defense attorney said.
"They're at a loss to understand what happened," LaBarbera said.
"Their son was a gentle boy," the couple has told him, he said. "He never appeared to be somebody who had any violent tendencies. He was a loving son. They're absolutely stunned."
In her unrelated case, Sarwat Syed is accused of leaving the scene of a June 20, 2011, crash on the northbound 405 near Laguna Canyon Road. If convicted of felony hit-and-run, she faces a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.
Ava O'Connor, 4, of Orange, who was a passenger in the other car, underwent a nine-hour operation to fix her jaw, upper palate, eye sockets and nose, her father said then. She was in a coma for 12 days and spent nearly a month in a hospital.
Robert O'Connor, who attended Monday's hearing, said he screamed when he heard Sarwat Syed's name on the news in connection with last week's rampage.
"It sent shivers up my spine that it'd be the same family," he said.
His daughter, now 6, is getting better, is in first grade and goes to dance practice, O'Connor said, but she has had four or five surgeries since the accident.
"It was chilling to hear (Sarwat Syed's) voice in a 911 call," he said.
In a frantic 911 call authorities released last week, Syed sounds out of breath as she reports hearing a gunshot in her home; an alarm is heard in the background.
"Our hearts go out to families who were devastated by last week's massacre," O'Connor said. "Our daughter's a different case. We don't want those people forgotten."

Jesse Eisenberg has had a career year, romancing Kristen Stewart in Adventureland and now Emma Stone in Zombieland, and he's also got two full movies on Fancast right now – with Kevin Kline in The Emperor's Club and the Movie of the Week One Day Like Rain. But on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien last night, Eisenberg revealed that if it wasn't for his career, he might still never have kissed a girl. The neurotic, self-deprecating actor was poking fun at himself and admitting that his smooch with Jennifer Beals in Roger Dodger when he was 18 was the first time he'd ever kissed a human.

Adds a custom signature to the very end of the post automagically.
Q: Can I insert images in signature? A: Yes, you can, by uploading images (or any legal HTML content, e.g. a piece of Flash) into your WordPress installation's file structure, e.g. /upload/images. Then, display the image (or other content) by using standard HTML instructions.
Q: Can I style the signature, e.g. italic, bold, etc.? A: Yes, you can, by using inline CSS instructions e.g. paragraph, divs, tables, color, font, headers, etc. Just remember that values like the Permalink or other values included in the plugin's architecture must be included in the form %VARIABLE%, as stated in the Admin page.
Q: Do I have to modify my template? A: No. If you use the main signature only (the 1st in the list) you can let the plugin add it automagically without even modifying a byte in your posts. If you want to CHOOSE and use a specific signature, then you have to trigger them by inserting a special comment in your post source in place of the signature (<!� ddsig1 �> for the 1st signature, <!� ddsig2 �> for the 2nd, and so on).
Q: Some more explanations? A: You can find an italian language blog page explaining everything here. Should you need a translation, I've checked and Google Translate offers a decent translation, no so smooth but clear enough for an english mother tongue to understand.

Have you been put in Klout timeout?
I asked Klout why my Network Influence Score was dropping down every Wednesday for 3 – 4 points. The answer I received from Klout is shocking. If you are still under the spell of Klout, be sure that you don't spend much time engaging and supporting your friends who are new to Social Media. It's seems Klout doesn't assign influence to true Social Media relationships. Digg Digg.

Are Schools Killing Creativity?
Spin Sucks
Today's guest post is written by Craig McBreen. Years ago, there was a boy who spent much of his school day staring out the window, daydreaming. To him, school was like the clink – a penitentiary so void of inspiration his imagination often left the room. His creative spirit needed an outlet, but it was so stifling in there. Kids dream big. Innate abilities lost over time? Weird is in.
How To Optimize Your B2B White Papers For Google
PWB Marketing Blog
If you're like most B2B companies, you have white papers, case studies, articles, product brochures, and a lot of other marketing, sales, and thought leadership documents. The fact is if your content can't be found by Google, your white paper (and other writings) will get limited traffic. It really doesn't matter how important your white paper is. So how do you get your stuff noticed?
Build Memorable Stories And Infectious Customer Experiences
Never lose sight of what matter at the foundational level. I'm amazed at the great lengths that brands will go to with their marketing without paying the slightest attention to the foundation of great word of mouth and, really, all marketing – the story and customer experiences. I was in San Francisco last week to speak at the "Socialize" Conference. We want to share them.
Unlimited Capacity
Twist Image
What do you need to turn your ideas and thoughts into a reality? Painting is hard. First, you need the money to buy all of the materials (canvas, brushes, paints, easel, etc.), then you need years of practice to understand the intricate techniques to nurture your spark and flow. All of the arts are like this (I would lump making movies, music, photography and even writing in here). The gift: the ability to create with an unlimited capacity. My current love affair with my MacBook Air is well documented. But, it's more than what it does. it's how it makes me feel. Unlimited choices to create.
The Social Diamond
Engaging Brand
Social circles are all around us.and yet it bothers me that we create, share and network with circles. tell you why. Circles are enclosed. Circles go round in.well circles. Social circles therefore by definition can be insular and reshare, repost and rehash the same ideas and concepts. prefer to think of my network as a SOCIAL DIAMOND. help bring light and make my social diamond.
Competing with Free
Direct Marketing Observations
Every day we're faced with free and I hate it… Marketers throw free around like it's confetti. Consumers snap up free stuff because it's free. But does free work ? Does giving stuff away for free make you eventually buy stuff? No, generally not. I've often said that the majority of people that follow brands on Facebook do it not because they are supposed brand champions but purely because they are hoping to get something out of the engagement. Something free. Why would you follow Nike on Facebook? Or Gatorade or American Eagle ? Because of the cool videos? Uh no.

How To Get Instant Credibility
Small Business Mavericks
If you are a small business owner and trying to pave a path to your door for your customers to follow in getting to know you better and do business with you, then the one thing you should prioritize above everything else is writing a book. That's right. Writing and publishing a book will give you instant credibility. Here's why. When people hold something tangible in their hands, they know it's real. When you have your name on the cover of a book, you become an instant authority. Remember, the first half of "authority" is "author." It's not easy.
NFL Week 8 Social Media Picks

Man is it me or is the NFL season flying by? It has been awesome to watch this season progress as teams are starting to pull away from the pack and establish the lead horses for the playoffs.

The Secret to Explosive Blog Growth
This guest post is by Aman Basanti of Ageofmarketing.com. Since launching my blog on the psychology of buying in mid-May, I have often wondered whether I am missing something; whether there is a secret to growing the traffic on my blog that I do not know about. Am I not commenting on the right blogs? Am I not writing enough guest posts? Am I not submitting my links to the right social media sites? Am I not aware of some cheap advertising source? But the more I look for that secret, the more I am convinced that there is no one secret. Allow me to me explain. Image created by author.

Major manifestations of diabetic nephropathy are increased enal hypertrophy involving glomeruli and tubules with expansion of matrix proteins, including fibronectin. These changes occur concomitant with increased expression of transforming growth factor-??(TGF?) that contributes to the pathogenesis of human and experimental diabetic nephropathy. The mechanisms by which hyperglycemia and/or TGF? ?result in hypertrophy and increased expression of fibronectin are poorly understood. We have shown recently that high glucose- as well as TGF?-induced downregulation of tumor suppressor protein PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten) contributes to renal cell hypetrophy and fibronectin expression. Our data show markedly reduced levels of PTEN in the kidney cortex and glomerulus of rats and mice with diabetes. Moreover, we demonstrate that high glucose and TGF?? increase two microRNAs, miR-21 and miR-214 in mesangial and proximal tubular epithelial cells. These microRNAs target PTEN for translational repression. In this proposal, using cultured mesangial and proximal tubular epithelial cells and renal tissues from streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats and diabetic OVE26 mice, we will test the hypothesis that transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms suppress PTEN to induce hypertrophy and matrix expansion in diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, our preliminary data demonstrate that high glucose and TGF? ?increase the levels of two transcription factors Brf1 and TBP, which cooperate with RNA polymerase III to induce 5S rRNA and tRNAs. We show an increase in the c-Myc protoonco-protein in mesangial and proximal tubular epithelial cells and in renal cortex of diabetic rats and mice. We hypothesize that the crosstalk between c- Myc and Brf1/TBP regulates diabetic renal hypertrophy and matrix protein levels. In the first specific aim, we plan to investigate the p53 tumor suppressor transcription factor as a candidate that regulates PTEN expression, hypertrophy and fibronectin expression. SIRT1 (silent information regulator 1), which deacetylates p53 to inactivate its transcriptional activity, is induced by high glucose and TGF?. We will elucidate the role of SIRT1 in cellular hypertrophy and fibronectin expression in mesangial and proximal tubular epithelial cells and in kidneys of rats and mice with diabetes. In the second aim, we will examine the role of two recently identified microRNAs, miR-21 and miR-214, in hypertrophy and fibronectin expression in response to high glucose and TGF?. In the specific aim 3, we will study the contribution of Brf1 and TBP in cooperation with c-Myc to high glucose- and TGF?-induced RNA polymerase III in regulating hypertrophy and fibronectin expression in mesangial and proximal tubular epithelial cells and in renal tissues of diabetic rats and mice. To address these specific aims, techniques including immunoprecipitation, immunoblotting, morphometry, immunohistochemistry, reporter transfection assays, chromatin immunoprecipitation assays, siRNA-mediated downregulation and conditional expression of proteins will be used.
Manifestation of diabetic nephropathy involves increased renal ypertrophy and matrix protein amassing, which result from hyperglycemia-induced expression of transforming growth factor-??(TGF?) that along with high glucose concentration regulates expression/activation of signaling molecules. The experiments proposed in this application will identify signaling molecules, which take part in mediating renal hypertrophy and matrix protein expression. The results obtained from these experiments will help designing drugs targeting fibrosis, which constitutes the pathology of diabetic nephropathy.

Plot summary[edit]
The novel is about a lonely young man, Ferdinand Clegg, who works as a clerk in a city hall and collects butterflies in his spare time. The first part of the novel tells the story from his point of view.
Clegg is obsessed with Miranda Grey, a middle-class art student at the Slade School of Fine Art. He admires her from a distance but is unable to make any contact with her because he lacks social skills. One day, he wins a large prize in the football pools. He quits his job and buys an isolated house in the countryside. He feels lonely, however, and wants to be with Miranda. Unable to make any normal contact, Clegg decides to add her to his "collection" of pretty, petrified objects, in the hope that if he keeps her captive long enough, she will grow to love him.
After careful preparations, he kidnaps Miranda by drugging her with chloroform and locks her up in the cellar of his house. He is convinced that Miranda will start to love him after some time. However, when she wakes up, she confronts him with his actions. Clegg is embarrassed and promises to let her go after a month. He promises to show her "every respect", pledging not to sexually molest her and to shower her with gifts and the comforts of home, on one condition: she can't leave the cellar.
The second part of the novel is narrated by Miranda in the form of fragments from a diary that she keeps during her captivity. Miranda reminisces over her previous life throughout this section of the novel; and many of her diary entries are written either to her sister or to a man named G.P., whom she respected and admired as an artist. Miranda reveals that G.P. ultimately fell in love with her and consequently severed all contact with her.
At first, Miranda thinks that Clegg has sexual motives for abducting her; but, as his true character begins to be revealed, she realises that this is not true. She begins to pity her captor, comparing him to Caliban in Shakespeare's play The Tempest because of his hopeless obsession with her. Clegg tells Miranda that his first name is Ferdinand (eventual winner of Miranda's affections in The Tempest).
Miranda tries to escape several times, but Clegg stops her. She also tries to seduce him to convince him to let her go. The only result is that he becomes confused and angry. When Clegg keeps refusing to let her go, she starts to fantasize about killing him. After a failed attempt to do so, Miranda passes through a phase of self-loathing. She decides that to kill Clegg would lower her to his level. She refrains from any further attempts to do so. Before she can try to escape again, she becomes seriously ill and dies.
The third part of the novel is narrated by Clegg. At first, he wants to commit suicide after he finds Miranda dead; but, after he reads in her diary that she never loved him, he decides that he is not responsible for what happened to her and is better off without her. The book ends with his announcement that he plans to kidnap another girl.
Fowles' discussion of background to The Collector[edit]
In his second book, The Aristos, a collection of philosophical essays, Fowles wrote that he intended the novel to explore the danger of class and intellectual divisions in a society where prosperity for the majority was becoming more widespread, and power (whether by wealth or position) was gained by those intellectually unsuited to handle it.[citation needed]
He further discusses his inspiration for The Collector. He said that the Greek philosopher Heraclitus saw mankind as divided into two groups. The first was a moral and intellectual elite known as the aristoi, or "the good", (not necessarily meaning those of noble birth), and the second was hoi polloi, or "the many", who were viewed as an unthinking, conforming mass. Fowles wanted readers to understand that "the dividing line should run through each individual, not between individuals."[1]
He wrote,
"I tried to establish the virtual innocence of the many. Miranda, the girl he [Clegg] imprisoned, had very little more control than Clegg over what she was: she had well-to-do parents, a good educational opportunity, inherited aptitude and intelligence. That does not mean that she was perfect. Far from it – she was arrogant in her ideas, a prig, a liberal-humanist snob, like so many university students. Yet if she had not died she might have become something better, the kind of being humanity so desperately need."[1]
Fowles goes on to explain that the purpose of the novel was not to say that a precious elite was threatened by the barbarian hordes. Rather, that people had to face up to an unnecessary brutal conflict based on envy and contempt, and accept that we will never be born equal until The Many can be educated out of a false sense of inferiority and The Few can understand that biological superiority is not a state of existence but rather a state of responsibility. He strongly opposes the view that the idea behind The Collector is a fascist one.[1]
The Collector has been adapted as a film and a dramatic play. The Collector also is referred to in various songs, television episodes, and books.
Film versions[edit]
- The novel was adapted as a feature film by the same name in 1965. The screenplay was by Stanley Mann and John Kohn, and it was directed by William Wyler, who turned down The Sound of Music to direct it. It starred Terence Stamp and Samantha Eggar.
- The 1980 Tamil language film Moodu Pani, according to its director Balu Mahendra, is 60% based on The Collector.[2]
Theatre versions[edit]
- A stage version of the novel (written by John Fowles) was performed in London in the late 1960s or early 1970s. Marianne Faithfull starred as Miranda. It was poorly received by the critics.
- It has also been performed at the Camden's People Theatre.[3]
- Adapted again with permission from Fowles Estate by Tim Dalgleish and Caz Tricks for Bare Bones Theatre Company, Wolverton, Milton Keynes, 1999
- Another adaption was written by Mark Healy and first performed at Derby Playhouse in October 1998.
- Mark Healy's adaptation was also performed at the 'Arcola Theatre' in Hackney, London from 26 August to 20 September 2008.
- The play was also performed at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe by 'Vivid Theatre Company.'
- The play will be performed again at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe Festival by 'Arkle Theatre Company'.
- Blink. Theatre produced the play at The Space from 3–14 March 2015.
- The play had its 2016 American premiere at 59E59 Street Theater in Manhattan, running from October 26th to November 13th. [4]
- "The Collector", a song inspired by the novel, was written by Sonny Curtis. It was recorded by The Everly Brothers in 1966 and included on their album Two Yanks in England. The song was also recorded by 'The No. 1' band in 1967 on Kapp records (K824/K-10643) b/w "Cracks in the Sidewalk" (Kapp K824/K-10644).
- The song "The Butterfly Collector" by The Jam (the B-Side of the 1979 single "Strange Town") was said to be inspired by the book. It was about Soo Catwoman who, upon the implosion of the Sex Pistols, attempted to become part of The Jam's entourage.
- The song "Purity" by metal band Slipknot has lyrics related to the novel.
- The song "Prosthetics" by Slipknot recount a story similar to that in the novel.
- The song "The Collector" by Russian band Deadushki has lyrics related to the novel.
- The Smiths song "Half A Person" is thought to be titled after the quote, "Caliban is half a person at the best of times."
- The song "International Rock Star" by the Canadian band Stars is loosely related to the plot of the book and features soundbites from the film.
- The song "The Man Who Stole A Leopard" by British band Duran Duran (All You Need Is Now album) was inspired by the movie, according to the keyboardist Nick Rhodes.
- The song "Index" by UK artist Steven Wilson (album Grace For Drowning Kscope 2011) was inspired by the novel.
- The song "Chastity" by pop-rock group The Raves (album Past Perfect Tense Hologramophone 1992) has lyrics related to the novel.
The basic plot of The Collector: a lonely maladjusted person kidnapping the object of his or her desire, has become a standard plot device of a number of TV shows, ranging from soap operas to crime series. Some more explicit references to John Fowles' book are:
- In the Criminal Minds two-part episode, "The Fisher King", a kidnapper uses a copy of The Collector to send a coded message to the Behavioral Analysis Unit.[5]
- In an episode of The Simpsons, "Treehouse of Horror X", Comic Book Guy uses the supervillain persona "The Collector" and kidnaps Lucy Lawless from a comic book convention.[6]
Books and comics[edit]
- In the book The Dark Tower by Stephen King, Finli O'Tego, also known as The Weasel, reads The Collector. Later Finli noticed another character, Dinky, reading Fowles' The Magus.
- In the book Misery by Stephen King, the character Paul Sheldon compares his situation to that in Fowles' novel. A quote from The Collector prefaces part three.
- In Neil Gaiman's comic The Doll's House, there is a reference to The Collector. "Collectors" episode is about a convention of serial killers who watch the film and discuss it in terms of themselves.
Associations with serial killers[edit]
In several cases since the novel was published, serial killers, spree killers, kidnappers, and other criminals have claimed that The Collector was the basis, the inspiration, or the justification for their crimes.[7]
Leonard Lake and Charles Ng[edit]
In 1985, Leonard Lake and Charles Chi-Tat Ng abducted 18-year-old Kathy Allen and later 19-year-old Brenda O'Connor. Lake is said to have been obsessed with The Collector. Lake described his plan for using the women for sex and housekeeping in a "philosophy" videotape. The two are believed to have murdered at least 25 people, including two entire families. Although Lake had committed several crimes in the Ukiah, California area, his "Operation Miranda" did not begin until after he moved to remote Wilseyville, California. The videotapes of his murders and a diary written by Lake were found buried near the bunker in Wilseyville. They revealed that Lake had named his plot Operation Miranda after the character in Fowles' book.[8]
Christopher Wilder[edit]
Christopher Wilder, a spree/serial killer of young girls, had The Collector in his possession when he killed himself in 1984.[7]
Robert Berdella[edit]
In 1988, Robert Berdella held his male victims captive and photographed their torture before killing them. He claimed that the film version of The Collector had been his inspiration when he was a teenager.[9]

The City of Inglewood's Be Well Senior Fitness and Nutrition Education Program, a program for seniors with chronic diseases, has been awarded the National Association of Counties 2011 Achievement Award.
The City's Be Well Program was presented this award for demonstrating that high risk seniors experience a lower use of emergency room, hospital, and skilled nursing services when compared with high risk seniors that did not participate in the program. The program serves as a real world example of how educating seniors regarding healthy lifestyle choices can enhance their quality of life and independence.
The City has collaborated with Los Angeles County Area Agency on Aging and other partners in offering wellness classes to high risk seniors since 2004. Currently, Be Well classes are offered in the city of Inglewood on Wednesdays, from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Darby Park, 3400 W. Arbor Vitae Boulevard and in the city of Hawthorne on Mondays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at the Hawthorne Senior Center, 3901 El Segundo Boulevard.
Beginning in February of 2012, a new intensive series will be offered at Darby Park, on Thursdays. The class, which is funded in part by a grant from The California Wellness Foundation (TCWF), will meet twice a week for three hours through May 2012. Created in 1992 as a private, independent foundation, TCWF's mission is to improve the health of the people of California by making grants for health promotion, wellness education and disease prevention.
All the programs are provided free to seniors who participate. Free pedometers, light snacks and cooking demonstrations are included.
For additional information on this and other senior related programs, contact the Inglewood Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department at (310) 412-8750.

Hosta Scholars All,
As promised I will begin our informal discussion on the subject at hand.
Joe Halinar has asked me to copy to him current messages thru hosta-open
because he is on digest service and there may normally be a delay in
communication for him..
We are reviewing the technical aspects of three articles on the orign of
sports authored by Ben Zonneveld. Each is different in some respects but
have a common message, i.e. that there are three causes of sports. I
will list these causes in the order that they are listed by Ben.
Mitotic Recombinations
Chimeral Rearrangements
Nuclear Mutations.
When Ben's last article was written, I prepared a critiqe on May 24,
1999. I sent it to hosta-open for comments. It raised little concern.
The issues are still unresolved...that there is incorrect information
being published in the AHJ. I will repeat the critique in a simplified
form so that readers will get a feel for the technical nature of the
points that I was trying to make. They still remain and warrant
discussion, for educational purposes if for no other reason. A shorter
redacted version of my critique follows:
I am urged to comment on a recent article written in the Hosta Journal
Vol.30.1 by Associate Professor Ben Zonneveld in which he tries to
develop a rationale for his theory for the causes for sports. While the
causes for sports might normally interest only other Geneticists, I
find the
article so faulty that a response seems appropriate to correct some
He raises questions...Are they really identical or only similar? Should
they have different names if they are only similar? If they are
identical, could they have a single name? He hopes to answer these
questions by focusing on justification of names by discussing his
theory that there are three causes for hosta sports, i.e. (1) mitotic
recombination, (2) chimeral rearrangement and (3) mutations. He states
that "for our purposes we will treat mitotic recombination and
mutations as processes that mainly take place in the DNA of nucleus and
not in the DNA present in the other organelles of the cell" , (the
plastids, for example).
The faults I find in the article is that it is self-serving, it is
biased, it is incomplete and it is in error in many repects. There is
literary review to discuss the work and the views of other workers in
field. It does not discuss the histological basis for chimeras, the
"tunica-corpus" organization of cell layers in the meristem( after
Schmidt 1924), nor the identification of the two-three layer apices
common in monocots according to Stewart and Dermen (1979). He ignores
need for discussing "apical initials" within each apical layer of the
meristem. He does not discuss the fact that when cells from an inner
layer (L2 , for example) which take over the position of cells from
outer layer, "displacement" occurs, while "replacement" occurs when a
periclinal division of a cell occurs allowing for layer switching (per
Stewart and Dermen 1970).
He does not mention the work of Dr. Michael Marcotrigiano, world
authority on chimeras and Associate Professor of the Dept. of Plant
Science, Univ. of Mass., Amherst, who explains how plastid mutations
leads to variegation because of the growth and distribution of
heteroplastidic cells. Marcotrigiano states that "the most common
of chimeral variegation is spontaneous mutation in the pathway of
chlorophyll synthesis or plastid morphology. These mutations are
generally chloroplast mutations rather than nuclear mutations".
Marcotrigiano then explains the genetic rationale for these
Ben does not discuss the distribution and sorting out of mutated
plastids in cells, as described by many workers. Nor does he discuss
plastid mutations that often
take place during various stages of embryogenesis according to
Thus, the background of cytoplasmic and nuclear genetic factors are not
covered to explain their role in chimeras. His theory is contrary to
views of classical research workers in this field (Schmidt,
Stewart and Dermen, Tilney-Bassett, Vaughn and Marcotrigiano).
The author states "that for our purposes, we will not consider DNA
changes in the organelles of cells(the plastids). This statement seems
suspect and inappropriate in a scientific discussion. Is it not the
purpose of a scientific inquiry to look at all causes of phenomena
under study? If the purpose is to consider only the author's views and
theories, is not the discussion slanted, biased and incomplete at the
outset?. Why has not Ben reviewed the scientific literature? Why has he
not mentioned Vaughn's work on plastid mutations and cytoplasmic
inheritance? We will do so as our discussion proceeds in future days.
If the purpose of Ben's article was to inform readers of the
scientific facts by use of his theory, I must say I find his arguments
incomplete, in error on several occasions, biased and non-convincing.

Back to our discussion...............
If readers wish to get even more backgound on scientifc achievements
regarding chimeras in Hostas, I suggest you go to the Webpage of First
Look of Region One which has become famous in recent days. Carol
Brashear and her seven dwarf helpers have posted the article written by
Dr. Kevin Vaughn "Chloroplast Mutants in Hostas from the AHS Bulletin
11 This is a classical work of research in Hosta . Please don't miss
reading it. I want to personally thank Carol for this help in getting
information for all to read. I will attempt an interpretation and

Dell Files Paperwork to Take SecureWorks Public
The move reportedly would help Dell reduce the huge debt that it will take on when it buys EMC for $67 billion next year.Dell officials plan to take the company's cyber-security division SecureWorks public next year. The company this week filed paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) notifying regulators of the plan to take SecureWorks private. Dell officials didn't say how much SecureWorks expected to raise—saying only $100 million, which reportedly is usually used as a placeholder figure—or what the initial asking price will be. Dell bought SecureWorks for $612 million in 2011 as part of its larger strategy to become a provider of enterprise IT solutions and services. That includes building up its security capabilities through acquisitions, such as SecureWorks, SonicWall and Credant Technologies, the latter two bought in 2012. The decision to take SecureWorks public also comes in the wake of Dell's bid to buy storage giant EMC and its collection of companies—including VMware, VCE, Pivotal and RSA—for $67 billion. Officials with Dell—which went private in 2013 after CEO Michael Dell and financial backer Silver Lake Partners bought the company for $25 billion—expect to take on more than $49 billion in debt to acquire EMC, and have been making moves to reduce that number, including reportedly by selling some assets.
Those assets could include SonicWall, software unit Quest and the services businesses based on Dell's $3.9 billion acquisition of Perot Systems in 2009.

Culture Shock
By Amy Dalness
Spicy Words
As a former student of theater at UNM, I vividly recall the excitement generated by the Words Afire Festival. It meant an opportunity for more aspiring actors to get stage time and budding playwrights to see their works actually performed. Months of preparation madness followed by weeks of performances created a draining, frenzied chaos worth every moment. Words Afire is a boon to the Albuquerque theater scene and we're lucky to have it. This year's festival opens on Thursday, April 17, with Pajaros de Mi Sangre: My Blood Birds by Don Garcia at Rodey Theatre and The Feather by Mars Mråz at Theatre X. Tickets to all shows at Rodey are $15 general, $10 seniors and $7 students, and $10 general, $8 seniors and $7 students at Theatre X, available at the UNM ticket office (925-5858). Keep an eye on the Arts Calendar for a complete list of all Words Afire productions or visit wordsafire.unm.edu. Support our university's theater program—it cultivates the future of performance art in our city.

Failure by Philip Schultz

Now here is a subject one doesn't see poetry address all that often—especially with such a warm, complicated embrace. To Philip Schultz, recent co-winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for poetry, failure is not a pejorative but a state of being. Try to appreciate the bounty of the world, several of these poems suggest, and you will likely fail; try to ignore it and you will fail as well.

Ollie was the unfortunate victim of the Big Brother fast-forward Thursday night and was on the block, not vetoed and out of the house in the span of an hour. The fast-forward night rules! I also hope the fast-forward means that someone is being voted back into the house. There are several houseguests I'd like to see given another shot. Also because of how crazy it would drive the jury members. Follow along after the jump for Ollie's exit interview.
Did you enjoy Big Brother?
Of course I enjoyed this. It was a blast.
Are you glad you participated?
I wouldn't take it back for anything in the world (except $500,000).
Would you have done anything differently in your game play?
Win a few competitions.
Do you regret your showmance with April?
No way. April is the most special person I've met in my life.
Do you think your showmance made you a bigger target in the house?
It probably did. However, it was worth it because of a lot of people used it to their advantage.
Do you plan to be with April outside the house? Were you really planning to move to Arizona either way?
I do plan to be with April outside the house. Yes, I was planning on moving to Arizona either way. So it works out great.
Are you really bitter about Dan flipping on you or can you respect the smart game play?
I can respect Dan flipping on me. It played in his favor obviously because he's still in the game. Besides, I flipped on him the 1st week so I guess I had it coming.
Who do you think is the strongest player in the house?
Jerry. No one is taking him serious which makes him the bigger threat.
Who do you think is the sneakiest player in the house?
Keesha. She has won two Head of Households now and has a shot at the grand prize. No one in the house considers her a strong player so we'll see.
Any other thoughts you'd like to add?
I'm just grateful for the opportunity that I had in the house and for your time. Thanks!
