"We have 54 trees in the White House," an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. "54! That's a lot of trees."
In fact, the Obamas' 54 trees this year are almost 50% more Christmas trees than last year. That's a whole grove of Christmas trees.

Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Raising Children to Pursue Truth
In this video Conversation, Joel Hunter articulates the importance of raising a child that can garner knowledge from a variety of sources and to be able to study science with integrity—that is, to be able to pursue the truth to where it leads.
Series: Confronting Our Fears
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Science, Christianity, and Homeschooling
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.
Science and Faith on a Secular Campus
While many Christian colleges actively seek to help their students engage issues of faith and science constructively, few secular colleges are active in promoting the conversation. As a professor at a secular school, how can I encourage my students to authentic engagement and dialogue on science and faith issues?
Mending the Disconnect
How can it be that two things we love and treasure—two things that are absolutely central to ourselves and the lives we've built—seem so often to be at odds with each other?
The State of Evolution (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about evolution and public education in the United States. The graphic, titled "The State of Evolution", draws upon sources from USA Today, the National Center for Science Education, and Pew Forum, and shows two challenges to a widespread understanding of the science of evolution in the United States.
Allaying Parental Fears About Evolution Education in Public Schools
If they left their children in the public classroom, should they as concerned parents, as committed Christians, as agents of truth and light in this dark world, remain quiet or should they speak out?
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
Letting God Out of the Box
I found myself in a very awkward situation. On the one hand I was a follower of Jesus Christ who loved the Bible, knew that it was God's Word, and, therefore, not full of lies. However, I also was someone who had loved science for many years and was planning on pursuing a career in research...
Teaching Science in Tennessee
Last week, Tennessee legislators approved a bill on science education (the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act) that has stoked controversy around the country.
Following God's Path, Part 1
I've loved science for as long as I can remember, and from an early age I imagined my future career as a scientist. I also grew up immersed within Christian Fundamenatalism.
Art, Worship, Creation, and Imaginative Engagement
We should not be ashamed of the fact that our faith integrates spirit and body; our faith calls us to regard the stuff of creation in all of its materiality as good, and thus offers the best starting point for the practice and pleasure of art.
Series: From ID to BioLogos
In this series, Dennis Venema describes his personal journey that took him away from the Intelligent Design arguments toward the evolutionary creation worldview. Through careful and honest research, he discovered ID scientific reasoning to be analogy-based, in sharp contrast to evolutionary science, which was supported by concrete data. After accepting this view, God's presence ever strengthened him as he explored the compatibility between the Bible and God's creative mechanism.
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The (Lack Of) Conflict Between Science and Religion in College Students
Media-hungry atheist, creationist and religious fundamentalist provocateurs have dominated the science and religion narrative for the past decade. A recently published large-scale survey of college students, however, finds that the call to arms has fallen on deaf ears.
When Appearances Are Deceiving
"That just doesn't sound right." Ever since I was a kid, that was my gut reaction to those well-meaning people in my church and school who told me that despite what many in the sciences were saying, the earth and the entire universe were actually of relatively recent manufacture.
Daniel Harrell on Embracing Science
In this video, Pastor Daniel Harrell encourages the Christian community to embrace science as an element which can harmonize and strengthen, rather than attack and undermine their understanding of theology.
Joanna's Story
As a child, I started reading the Bible as soon as I could and I made my decision for Jesus wholeheartedly at the age of nine. Nurtured in an "all Christian environment," I knew little else. But certain questions tended to nag at me.

So much for that theory.
Instead, expect to hear DRM apologists (either DRM vendors or technologically naive people in publishing who believe what DRM vendors tell them) now saying, "Oh sure, it works for O'Reilly, but those are tech books. Regular trade books can't possibly work the same way!"
During the past 18 months we've seen a dramatic shift in customer preference from print to digital when looking at sales from oreilly.com, which is a substantial sales channel for us. And looking across all of our sales channels for individual ebooks -- including mobile apps -- 2009 ebook revenue was up a staggering 104% on 2008 (which was more than 50% above 2007).2009 O'Reilly Ebook Revenue up 104% (Thanks, Andrew!)

Where's the control group in this little equation? Do we have comparison to the increasing number of people with eBook readers? 18 months and 104% doesn't sound like anything but the fallout from ebook readers taking off. To say that removing DRM was a direct cause of this is unfounded.
Sales of all book types are up, I'm sure. -
I'm not sure where you got the bit about O'Reilly dropping DRM 18 months ago. To my knowledge they've never used DRM.
Three data points on a graph. Tufte would roll over in his grave, if he were dead.
Not to mention an unlabeled y-axis, which with anselmlingnau's comment makes me wonder if they went from 25 books sold to 51.
The other side of the coin: removing DRM __must have caused__ the increase in sales of eBook readers ;-)
Gah! Did BoingBoing seriously just post this graph without the context of overall eBook sales for the same period? I'm not sure if I should feel insulted or ashamed.
Graham Anderson
Dear people arguing that DRM for books is essential. Remind me, how well did that work out for the music business?
The only thing stopping the books and movie businesses going the way of the music industry is the technology. When bandwidth is ubiquitous, movies will be shared as widely as MP3s. When decent readers come along, books will be shared just like MP3s. As music has shown, if you offer a legitimate, non-DRMed version of your product, people will buy it.
If those industries want to save themselves from completely missing out on the opportunity to open up a new market – digital – they need to look at what happened to music and point their ship o' strategy in exactly the opposite direction.
Graham, Cory's statistical methodology quite clearly demonstrates that ditching DRM was a disaster for the music business: global music sales plummeted by 8% in 2008, thanks to Amazon ditching music DRM, and in 2009 sales crashed a further 12% after Apple followed suit.
Good points. Copying something you don't have a right to copy is indeed nothing more or less than copyright infringement. Personally, I tend to stop listening any time someone calls it "piracy".
I don't think people are arguing DRM is essential Graham. More like it's not such a big deal for some people.
If my business model depended on DRM, I would comment over and over under different identities in different wording, rehashing the same tired memes about how we can't be sure that O'Reilly has benefited from their decision.
Oh, wait, that's already been done!
And, yes, I can testify that O'Reilly got more business from me after that decision … and because of it!
There's only one DRM that really winds me up and that Adobe's Digital Editions. The reason is that you cannot read them on Windows Mobile. So many European book retailers insist on using it. I'm not sure if they don't care about Win Mobile users or if it is all a dark conspiracy to make you pay for those stupid kindle and Sony devices.
Baen Books started up the Webscriptions service several years ago. They have never put DRM in their offerings. And now other publishers are beginning to make use of the service. And I have bought quite a few books through the service.
It seems to keep growing.
Okay, granted that there is little to prove a causal relationship between removing the DRM and the increase in sales. What is more interesting is that the removal of the DRM did not apparently lead to a decrease in the number of sales due to an increase in piracy.
So if the removal of DRM did not have an effect in book sales, it also seems to be logically consistent that the previous inclusion of DRM did not increase book sales by preventing piracy.
So,O'Reilly saves themselves the cost of implementing and maintaining the DRM system, I don't have to worry about DRM in the books I buy, and hopefully the books become cheaper or the authors get paid more. Everybody but the DRM makers are happy.
Go O'Really, keep up the good work.
First, being against DRM is NOT the same as being against copyright. When I buy a paper book, I don't have the right to copy it, but nobody has the right to in effect break into my house and take it back, as DRM allows, or control how I am allowed to read it.
Second, doesn't anyone think that ebooks could be more popular precisely because there is more non-DRM content available? Correlation isn't causation, but correlation is certainly a reason to consider causes. Look at emusic, for example — there is a lot less sales resistance when one doesn't need to depend on a DRM server to keep one's music, or deal with some idiot's restrictions on how one can play it.
And then there's the notion that each "pirated" copy represents a lost full price sale. Nonsense. Most wouldn't have been purchased, and in fact in the music world copying has been shown to increase sales. While I think that everyone should pay for what they read or listen to, the situation is a lot more complicated than calling it "piracy" makes it appear. The correct term is "IP theft".
@anonymous #40
You said: The correct term is "IP theft".
Wrong. The correct term is "copyright infringement".
The recently made-up term "IP" promotes sloppy thinking, as people apply it to patents, copyrights, trademarks, and other things, each of which have different properties.
And infringement is not theft, despite a depressingly successful effort by RIAA and MPAA to mislead the public and the politicians.
How do you know that this is due to the removal of DRM?
Wouldn't you expect exponential growth in e-books right now? -
No offense, but this is not necessarily cause and effect. Sales of e-book readers have also gone up in popularity, exposure and sales, which would tend to increase sales of e-books with or without the removal of DRM.
That they have removed DRM means that people that can't afford to buy it, can 'borrow' the current edition. In the future, if they are making money and enjoy the author's books, they will buy it in order to support the author.
I think you guys are missing the point. It's not that the loss of DRM caused an increase in sales, it's that sales increased DESPITE the lack of DRM.
The increase in sales is just as easily attributable to an increase in the popularity of e-book readers. It's nice they dropped the DRM, but there's not enough there to claim that it had much to do with the increase in sales.
If you compare this graph with a graph of e-book sales overall (http://www.idpf.org/doc_library/industrystats.htm), there's not much difference between them. This post, while encouraging, is a little dishonest. -
I'm a firm believer in anti-DRM, but I'm also a firm believer in stats/econometrics and I must point out that correlation does not imply causation. One cannot necessarily imply that the lack of DRM is the cause of the increase in sales. bOINGbOING is nerdy enough to know that one cannot draw such an inference…I'd hope.
I'm the author of the O'Reilly book, »LaTeX Hacks« (which as of now is available only in German but that is another story). This is available on paper and as an e-book. The paper edition sells really well, I'm happy to say (to the point of it having been the best-selling title in all of O'Reilly's »Hacks« series here in Germany for some time), but it would be easy for O'Reilly to dramatically increase relative e-book sales by actually selling any e-book copies at *all*. According to the statements I get from O'Reilly, they have managed to dispose of 1 copy or so of the e-book version last year, so if they sold a humongous number of copies, like 3, this year that would be a 300% increase compared to last year and certainly worth a press release.
It's good to see that there is such amazing growth but in absolute terms this increase may not actually represent a very large number of books sold.
Mmhmm. And in the las 18 months, how many ebook readers have hit the market? I realize that O'Reilly stuff isn't the pleasure reading that people most people have in mind when they pick up a kindle — but ebook sales would of gone up in the last year and a half regardless of DRM.
People can't be trusted to manage their own data, and EULAs and DRM are in place to make sure our purchases are protected.
People can't be trusted to manage their own data, and EULAs and DRM are in place to make sure our purchases are protected.
I honestly hope you were being sarcastic.
We have many instruments to protect our purchases: regulations to set a standard for quality, warranties to replace anything that doesn't live up to standards, insurance to replace things when the unexpected happens, and a legal system to take care of people who don't deliver on any of these things. All of these help protect my purchases, insuring that I actually get value out of what I have purchased.
But how does an EULA or DRM protect my purchase? The EULA precludes me from utilizing my purchase in the way that I intend to, and it prevents me from returning an item that doesn't live up to standards or suing when the company fails to support their product. It forces me to agree to waive many of my rights as a consumer, after I have already made the purchase. The DRM interferes with my ability to utilize the product, limiting the scope and platform that it may be used on, and in many cases, it means my product will fail to operate, even if I had purchased a perpetual license.
EULAs and DRM are there for the seller, not the purchaser. They allow the seller to limit the typical uses of a product to those that they find most profitable. They prevent the purchaser from making backup copies, ensuring that additional purchases will need to be made to replace things that have been lost or broken. And they eliminate the used market, encouraging more purchases while depriving the seller of their rights of ownership.
EULAs and DRM don't protect my purchase; they protect the sellers' best interests.
It's interesting you mention RPG books. I would LOVE to buy an electronic version of the 3 "core" books for D&D. I don't want a PDF. I want a searchable, scrollable reference document that can live on my phone so I don't have to carry a bag of books, a clip board, dice, etc to play. I would pay the cover price of the Player's Handbook if it was in an iphone app that navigated in the same way as say… the settings app on the iphone. Basically a bunch of HTML files embedded in a webkit. It's not like I could copy those files out.
And just a little more rambling on the formatting of RPG e-books. I don't want a PDF! I want to read it on my computer! If I print it out, I'm going to be printing on my shitty home printer. I don't need a completely full color book. Give me a basic black and white PDF if you have a print version, but make another version that's in a more scalable format so I can read it on something digital like a laptop or my phone or whatever.
PDF's done right *are* scalable. It's just too many don't do it right
(hint: Every window on a Mac, and probably the iPhone too is a PDF)
Every window on a Mac is a PDF?
PDF is a first class foundation level technology in MAC OS X.
Simply put, by the time you want to print or make a pdf the majority of the processing has already been done. And they get away with all that ordinarily resource hogging processing by spreading it out over the execution of the program.
Not PDF, but Display Postscript.
Mike Scott
Stats for the full year aren't available yet, but overall US ebook revenues for Q1-Q3 2009 were 200% up on Q1-Q3 2008, so O'Reilly are in fact lagging behind. The figures you quote could perfectly well be interpreted to suggest that dropping DRM has cost O'Reilly 1/3 of their potential sales.
I think it's more likely that O'Reilly's customers were well ahead of the curve on adopting ebooks, but my point is that this single statistic doesn't really show anything useful.
In fact, Q3 2008 – Q3 2009 (a whole year) shows an increase of 330 %: http://www.idpf.org/doc_library/industrystats.htm
Right, in other words, I think we can safely say that the lack of DRM certainly doesn't seem to kill sales especially when you combine this with data from others who've now worked with DRM-Freedom Files.
Can we dare say it doesn't seem to hurt sales to ditch DRM? And.. there's less overhead when you ditch DRM so even more profit, eh?
I just no longer trust Cory's claims on these issues any more than I trust Fox News on its take on politics. Not that I like DRM.
To be quite blunt, the DRM didn't do a single thing for them. Their stuff has been copied online for years.
Given the amount of bitching (valid and otherwise) about metrics – is it not time for someone (BoingBoing, hint hint) to hunt down the people and businesses doing proper research into this area? I find it hard to believe that there aren't any businesses that are conducting (valid, rigorous) experiments and using hard metrics to actually work out the value of DRM/no DRM to their businesses. Where are these people?
Where's the incentive?
For those on the side of "remove DRM" there is no financial reward to say "DRM is not helping, get rid of it".
For those on the "DRM is good" side, if they did do a study and it showed DRM was bad, they would lose out. The only thing they stand to do is gain, but that's predicate on DRM being good, and why test something out when you can just claim it's true and people will believe you?
Totally biased fallacious argument as eBook sales have increased dramatically over that time. As a full time author I am a firm believe in copyright protection – ooh I am SO untrendy and unfashionable!
trend and fashion have nothing to do with it. DRM is useless and harms only those who actually pay for content. i pirate everything i want and DRM never stopped me. it is just a minor inconvenience at the most. on the other hand when i bought a cd that would not play on my computer i was pretty pissed off. i am never going to make that mistake again.
as for books, i buy many dead tree ones but ebooks i just download for free. see if DRM is going to stop me. (clue: it will not.)
..and I am an avid reader who will never buy your content unless I can crack the DRM. If I buy your book in a digital format, I want the guarantee that I can resell the file/online access to the file to recoup my cost (and delete my copy/access) and that I will own it, with full rights to transfer it to any platform.
DRM is the only reason I continue to crack software.
Oh, BTW….correlation is not causality…shameshame boingboing!
Was it DRM that caused the increase in sales or, was it the increased consumption of ebook readers especially, mobile phone ebook readers?
I did not see the connection between sales increase and DRM. Perhaps, the data are being interpreted though rose coloured spectacles?
With all due respect, there is no proof the increase is in any way caused by not having DRM. I agree DRM is evil – and thanks to Cory's teachings, it is so easy to explain to my non-techie friends – but let's follow the method and not even suggest implication when there is only correlation.
DRM or not, e-books seem like a bad investment unless purchased as part of a dead-tree-book/e-book bundle. How do you resell your e-book? When I'm done with a technical dead-tree-book like those from ORA, it goes up on Amazon.com and I recover some of my costs. With e-books I am not aware of way to sell them "used". Even if I could find a buyer, the e-books I have bought from the Pragmatic Programmers all have my name on every page. What's to stop the next owner from putting them up on thepiratebay.org and getting *me* in hot water? Besides, what does it even mean to sell an e-book? I can easily keep a copy when I sell it, which I can't do with my dead-tree-book.
Looking at the ORA catalog, I find that I can buy a book I'd want for $50 dead-tree version. Or I can spend $55 and get both dead-tree and e. But e-book alone still costs $40!
Of course, over at Amazon, the dead-tree book is only $32 new.
None of this makes any sense at all, if you ask me.
Hate to say it, but correlation does not imply causation. This is more likely due to the massive increase in the sale of ebook readers.
I'm one of the subscriber to Safari (the subscription service of O'Reilly). This service (among other resvices) allows you to download a certain amount of books (or chapters) in pdf; without DRM; your name is printed on the bottom of the generated books. I'm one of the consumera that subscribed because the e-book is without DRM and I can put annotation, keeep and move the O'Reilly e-books among my devices being sure that I'm not tangled with an old device or HardDisk; or with a code that I have to remember and reintroduce.
If the books had the DRM I'd never subscribed. -
I'm not a DRM apologist at all, but I think it's naive to assume that a highly technical audience has the same awareness of DRM as a more mainstream audience.
In my experience, most people have no idea what DRM is until they ask why they can't use this-or-that file on this-or-that device. Even after explaining it to them, they don't have the same awareness of how far-reaching DRM is; it's just one of the many frustrating little things about technology. They don't really consider it a political issue–that there are alternatives that they could push for, either with their wallet or with activism.
It's great that O'Reilly ended up increasing their sales, and I hope other retailers decide to go down the same DRM-free road, but I suspect that for more mainstream markets, what will happen is that sales will actually stay the *same*, rather than increasing or decreasing. I may be wrong, but based on my interactions with non-tech people, DRM just isn't something that influences their buying decisions much.
(I think this is something we can change, by the way, by educating people about its effects. I really hate DRM, I just don't take it for granted that other people hate it as much as I do.)

The Husband hates layovers because he's just one of those people who do not want to waste time and energy in another place, so he always wants to fly direct to whatever destination. He was flat out disappointed when he learned that we had a 5-hour layover in Amsterdam, instead of flying direct from Dubai to Atlanta.
I, on the other hand, enjoy layovers. It is an insanely cheap-ass way of visiting two countries in one go. And if you know me, I am all for cost efficiencies. I know we won't get the chance to step out of the Amsterdam airport (all because we didn't have Schengen visas. Boo!), but still I knew that these 1st world airports (Please let us not talk about my home country's sh*tty international airport. The thought itself is a downer.) would provide us with much fun and entertainment that the 5–hours would just whiz by. And oh my, did the time at the Schipol Amsterdam airport really fly by.

Wander west along the tree-shaded shores of Okanagan Lake to see the SS Sicamous (1099 Lakeshore Dr. W, 250/492-0403, daily 10 a.m.–4 p.m. mid-Jan–mid-Dec., extended hours 9 a.m.–9 p.m. in summer, adult $5.50, senior $4.50, child $2), a Canadian Pacific Railway sternwheeler that operated on Okanagan Lake from 1914 to 1936. Now resting on the lakeshore, it's easy to spend an hour wandering through the ship, peaking into the purser's office, admiring the furnishings in the grand dining room, and clambering up to the observation deck.
The adjacent rose garden (free) is worth a stroll to see perfect blooms and manicured lawns, and to read all the stats on the Okanagan Lake Dam and flood-control system.
At the opposite end of Lakeshore Drive (to the east) is the Penticton Art Gallery (199 Marina Way, 250/493-2928, Tues.–Fri. 10 a.m.–5 p.m., Saturday noon–5 p.m., adult $2, free on weekends), home to locally themed exhibitions.
Penticton Museum (785 Main St., 250/490-2454, Tues.–Sat. 10 a.m.–5 p.m., adult $2.50, child $1) houses an excellent collection of western Canadian artifacts, covering natural history, local native peoples, the fur-trading days, the gold rush, railways, early Chinese residents, and sternwheelers. It also features an enormous taxidermy section; mining, ranching, and ghost-town artifacts and treasures; and assorted military miscellany.
A 14-kilometer (8.7-mile) secondary road runs northeast out of Penticton [1], skirting the east side of Okanagan Lake and passing through the small community of Naramata. The first of many well-respected wineries along the way is the Red Rooster Winery (891 Naramata Rd., 250/492-2424, daily 10 a.m.–6 p.m. Apr.–Oct., daily 11 a.m.–5 p.m. the rest of the year), easily recognized by the mission-style tasting room beside the highway. No tours—instead, enjoy a tasting session of the winery's acclaimed pinot gris and chardonnay wines, then soak up the lake views over a cheese platter or slice of quiche on the verandah.
Next up is the aptly named Hillside Estate (1350 Naramata Rd., 250/493-6274), with an impressive three-story wooden building holding the main winery. Hillside is known for its pinot noir, but it also produces an unusually dry but fruity riesling. Its wine shop and restaurant are open daily in summer.
Naramata itself is a charming lakeside village, far removed from the commercialism of Penticton. Access to the lake is somewhat limited, although the public beach at Manitou Park is good for swimming.
Continue through Naramata and up into the mountains, where the road fizzles out near the south border of undeveloped Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park, still recovering from wildfires that swept through in 2003. The only way to get into this piece of untouched wilderness is to walk or boat over. Hike in for the day for a picnic, some fishing, or to explore the 24 kilometers (15 miles) of trails.

Smad Proteins Bind a Conserved RNA Sequence to Promote MicroRNA Maturation by Drosha
Molecular Cell, Volume 39, Issue 3, 13 August 2010, Pages 373-384
Brandi N. Davis, Aaron C. Hilyard, Peter H. Nguyen, Giorgio Lagna and Akiko Hata
SummaryThe signal transducers of the transforming growth factor β (TGFβ)/bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), the Smads, promote the expression of a subset of miRNAs by facilitating the cleavage reaction by Drosha. The mechanism that limits Smad-mediated processing to a selective group of miRNAs remained hitherto unexplored. In this study, we expand the number of TGFβ/BMP-regulated miRNAs (T/B-miRs) to 20. Of interest, a majority of T/B-miRs contain a consensus sequence (R-SBE) within the stem region of the primary transcripts of T/B-miRs (pri-T/B-miRs). Here, we demonstrate that Smads directly bind the R-SBE. Mutation of the R-SBE abrogates TGFβ/BMP-induced recruitment of Smads, Drosha, and DGCR8 to pri-T/B-miRs and impairs their processing, whereas introduction of R-SBE to unregulated pri-miRNAs is sufficient to recruit Smads and to allow regulation by TGFβ/BMP. Thus, Smads are multifunctional proteins that modulate gene expression transcriptionally through DNA binding and posttranscriptionally through pri-miRNA binding and regulation of miRNA processing.

SummaryIntegrated genomic analyses revealed a miRNA-regulatory network that further defined a robust integrated mesenchymal subtype associated with poor overall survival in 459 cases of serous ovarian cancer (OvCa) from The Cancer Genome Atlas and 560 cases from independent cohorts. Eight key miRNAs, including miR-506, miR-141, and miR-200a, were predicted to regulate 89% of the targets in this network. Follow-up functional experiments illustrate that miR-506 augmented E-cadherin expression, inhibited cell migration and invasion, and prevented TGFβ-induced epithelial-mesenchymal transition by targeting SNAI2, a transcriptional repressor of E-cadherin. In human OvCa, miR-506 expression was correlated with decreased SNAI2 and VIM, elevated E-cadherin, and beneficial prognosis. Nanoparticle delivery of miR-506 in orthotopic OvCa mouse models led to E-cadherin induction and reduced tumor growth.

SummaryAlthough specific microRNAs (miRNAs) can be upregulated in cancer, global miRNA downregulation is a common trait of human malignancies. The mechanisms of this phenomenon and the advantages it affords remain poorly understood. Here we identify a microRNA family, miR-103/107, that attenuates miRNA biosynthesis by targeting Dicer, a key component of the miRNA processing machinery. In human breast cancer, high levels of miR-103/107 are associated with metastasis and poor outcome. Functionally, miR-103/107 confer migratory capacities in vitro and empower metastatic dissemination of otherwise nonaggressive cells in vivo. Inhibition of miR-103/107 opposes migration and metastasis of malignant cells. At the cellular level, a key event fostered by miR-103/107 is induction of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), attained by downregulating miR-200 levels. These findings suggest a new pathway by which Dicer inhibition drifts epithelial cancer toward a less-differentiated, mesenchymal fate to foster metastasis.

Crosstalk between TGF-β signaling and the microRNA machinery

1 2nd Department of Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary

The activin/transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) pathway plays an important role in tumorigenesis either by its tumor suppressor or tumor promoting effect. Loss of members of the TGF-β signaling by somatic mutations or epigenetic events, such as DNA methylation or regulation by microRNA (miRNA), may affect the signaling process. Most members of the TGF-β pathway are known to be targeted by one or more miRNAs. In addition, the biogenesis of miRNAs is also regulated by TGF-β both directly and through SMADs. Based on these interactions, it appears that autoregulatory feedback loops between TGF-β and miRNAs influence the fate of tumor cells. Our aim is to review the crosstalk between TGF-β signaling and the miRNA machinery to highlight potential novel therapeutic targets.

There is a big misconception that lifting requires 5 days of training per week. You can make great progress in as little as 2 days of training per week. Check out this thread:
http://muscleandbrawn.com/forums/ful...on-thread.html 2 workouts per week can take you quite a long way.

If time is really crunched, I can squeeze in a pretty good workout in less than a half an hour. Just get in and do a couple of lifts that really count.

It will also depend on where you workout; if you're able to workout at home (if you have the space and the self-motivation etc), then you cut down considerably on commuting time that would otherwise be spent going to and from a gym.

Steve brings up a good point. But in addition to that, we make time. Lifting weights, being healthy, eating healthy, etc. - there's nothing convenient about it. That's why everyone is fat, lazy and out of shape; junk food and sitting on your ass is convenient.
If there's anything I've learned from watching other people, and even myself, make excuses about why they cannot work out... Its that we pretend to be busier than we really are. And when we're not busy we make excuses as to why we don't want to do what we need to.

Getting started, 30-45 minutes a day, 2-3 days a week is plenty. Put 1 day during the weekend, and you've got 30 minutes during the work week to find. I know its not always that simple, but being healthy is important. With all the hours we give to our employers, out friends, our families, take a few each week to give to yourself. It will improve your time with the others.

My perspective. You will find a way to do what you really want to do. I am on call 24/7 but I do not work 24/7 and neither does anyone else in this thread. My advise. Sit down with a daily calendar and map out a typical day. I am willing to guess that, like most of us, you have a lot more free time than you realize, it just gets swallowed up by such important things as GF(or wife and family), TV,video games, eating, sleeping or hanging out. EVERYONE, I have done this exercise with has found at least on hour a day of time they didn't realize they had because they had it filled with non-essential busyness. You want to train and build muscles? MAKE THE TIME.

Georgia primaries
Well, folks, it's primary day, and tonight we will find out if Ralph Reed gets to continue his political journey to lieutenant governor in Georgia.
His Republican opponent in the primaries, Casey Cagle, isn't much better than Reed, frankly, but isn't quite as scary as far as the larger political spectrum is concerned. Reed's quest is national, while I hope Cagle's is only regional. A co-worker of mine said that she hopes Reed will actually win the primary, because strategically she thinks it will be easier for a Democrat to win against him in the general election, because he is so far to the right that he might lose Repug support. If he does indeed win the primary, I hope she's right. She feels that Reed, even if he wins Lieut. Governor, will eventually do himself in with his extreme views and underhanded, downright illegal, doings. Again, I hope she's right. The Democrats don't have much to offer against Reed or Cagle, though I think Taylor, much as I don't like him, would be a stronger opponent for the Dems. Both candidates (Taylor and Cox) have sold out GLBT folks, and Cathy Cox, who was our best hope, has flip-flopped and pandered to the Xtian "wrong", inserting her "faith and values" into her campaign ads. I had hoped she wouldn't stoop to that. It all makes me sick. I hated voting for any of them this morning, but I felt I had to choose the lesser of the evils presented. We will see, tonight, how it all turns out. Regardless of who wins, I'm not hopeful for the future of equality in Georgia. Georgia is a beautiful state and I've met many wonderful people here. It's too bad that it has not been able to overcome it's history of oppression and injustice. And to think that MLK, Jr. came from this state, and we argue over whether tax dollars should support a civil rights museum here in GA. Nope, we spent our money trying to get the NASCAR museum. Oy. Only in Georgia.... Susan |
Oh, and by the way, my partner and I passed a group of 20 or so teenagers this weekend who were out by the roadside stumping for Reed. They looked remarkably like the Nazi Youth (I'm not kidding). These are Xtian homeschooled kids -- Reed has been courting them and using them to campaign for him. <sigh>

It will be fascinating to see what comes of that sitch. RE: the youth stumping for Reed - I wish I could remember the name of it now, but there is an extreme right youth group with a mission of "war" for our society, and I used to remember the name of the adult who formed and masterminded it, his website and books. Scares me to death. With regard to primaries, we live in an extremely rightwing district in the SW. Our current state senator is the most homophobic legislator I've ever dealt with. She won't touch LGBT people, backs away when you try to shake her hand. That kind of thing. She is being challenged in the Republican primaries by another Traditional Values Republican who paints himself far to the right of what I go for, but to the left of her. So for the first time in my life, I made a campaign donation and petition signature to get the guy on the ballot. It would be great to have a choice between the two of them, and like you said, going for the lesser extreme. . . .I have a feeling the incumbent is going to win again, tho. |
Sigh of relief. Ralph Reed just conceded defeat to Casey Cagle. Thank God for small mercies.

LOS ANGELES —Low trading values for restaurant stocks and a desire to cut costs related to reporting requirements for public entities are prompting a growing number of companies to delist their stocks. Recently, Grill Concepts Inc., the Woodland Hills, Calif.-based parent of the Daily Grill chain, and uWink Inc., the three-unit technology-driven restaurant concept based in Van Nuys, Calif., announced plans to withdraw their publicly traded stocks.

KPMG's latest report on China's life science sector notes that the country is set to become a crucial player in the life science and healthcare industry. Within a decade it is expected to become a global leader in drug discovery and innovation.
This report makes a compelling read for any organisation that is either planning or implementing a cloud strategy, and provides some practical and actionable advice for enterprises and their executives.
KPMG has produced its first Global General Counsel Survey-Beyond the Law. The aim of the survey is to find out how much progress the General Counsel (GCs) are making as business decision-makers, and the challenges they face in this growing role.This survey will be unique in its scope and scale with the culmination of research gathered from across thirty-two countries, three hundred-twenty corporate counsels cross-sector, and in both mature and high growth economies. As part of this research we also conduct detailed in-depth interviews with both select GCs of major global companies and KPMG subject matter advisors to generate high quality additional insights.Our research uncovered an increasingly challenging business environment, where GCs are being called upon to play a greater role in the running of companies, particularly in managing of risks. Another headline finding we discovered was a gap between the beneficial impact GCs believe they can have, and their actual involvement in strategic decision-making, which needs to be addressed.

Former Melbourne Demons coach Dean Bailey is arguing he is innocent of tanking claims, despite being in the "vault" when football operations manager Chris Connolly reinforced the need to play for draft picks.
The AFL is unveiling its investigative arsenal as it builds its case, warning some Melbourne assistant coaches of severe sanctions if they refuse to be interviewed or are not honest in testimony.
Some Demons officials have been told the AFL can impose life coaching bans, though interviews are not conducted under oath.
Others have been re-interviewed and told that their testimony is inconsistent with those who believe there is evidence of tanking.
While Connolly is under the most heat, Bailey is said to be comfortable with the fact he never instructed coaches or players to deliberately lose games.
He is one of several Melbourne figures who remembers Connolly making his controversial aside in a portable shed at the Junction Oval, dubbed The Vault, after the Port Adelaide win in Round 15, 2009.
While that meeting has been painted as the start of an orchestrated campaign to lose games, the context of that discussion is at the heart of the tanking investigation.
Some, including Bailey, believe the Connolly statement urging the coaching staff not to maximise their high draft picks was a 30-second aside in a lengthy match committee meeting.
They dispute it was a specific meeting held as a call-to-arms to the football department.
Others have accused Connolly of saying words to the effect of, "Make this happen, or you'll all get sacked".
Whether the AFL believes the more generous interpretation, or declares the Connolly statement as evidence of tanking, is the crux of the investigation.
The Herald Sun has reported Bailey, now an Adelaide Crows assistant coach, told the players in mid-2009 some would be played in radically different positions.
Melbourne faces "severe" penalties if found guilty, but will likely have seven days to reply to any AFL findings.
That means Melbourne has a good chance of retaining its No.4 selection and the No.27 pick it needs to secure father-son selection Jack Viney in the November 22 national draft because the investigation will be ongoing.
The AFL Commission meets on November 19.
Follow the action. Like Fox Sports.

Cheats, Thats all they are, and they deserve to lose Viney over it. The AFL is soft is it lets them keep him. Melbourne should have its licence removed, give tassie a team
Malcolm says November 06, 2012 at 12:17 PM
It's not about what you said or didn't say Dean. It's about what you, and the footy club DID.
Barrell from Bangkok of Thailand says November 06, 2012 at 5:10 PM
Marty j of bendigo, tell us who you follow you weak human, then we will give you our opinion of you club and you.
guaranteed says November 06, 2012 at 6:13 PM
I don't think anyone has alleged he told the players to lose, or that he himself directed the coaches to lose. That doesn't mean something wasn't wrong though.
Big Dawg of Aukland says November 06, 2012 at 8:26 PM
Stupid how people bag Melbourne for doing the same thing Carlton did two years earlier to the exact same extent. Please AFL commission, show more consistency than the Match Review Panel for the sake of the game.
$$$$$$ r us of the media says November 06, 2012 at 9:43 PM
I reckon a massive payout looms for the Demons official who breaks the silence. Think about your payout from Womens Day/Weekly/whatever, and 60 minutes, and Sunrise, and the Footy Show, and Foxtel, and your book,,the rewards are enormous. Who will get the dosh first? No prize in this for second,,,haha, or in the case of Melbourne FC,,for last.
Freo HeaveHo of Perth says November 07, 2012 at 12:27 AM
You're a clown MattyJ. We've just had Terry Wallace saying he tanked at Richmond, Tony Liberatore said Carlton tanked and Melbourne is under investigation? What a joke!
Realist of Nobbys Beach says November 07, 2012 at 7:00 AM
Why would you blame Bailey? Surely if there was tanking going on it would be the higher powers responsible. Bailey whatever he was doing was just following orders im sure. Connelly said it himself.. Make this happen or you will all be sacked.
cfc of Prahran says November 07, 2012 at 7:34 AM
This should be resolved before this years draft.

Eagles, hawks, pies, dogs, saints, blues and tigers all got priority picks. Where is their " examination". The ALL must show what rule or rules were broken. It was not ideal but the AFL oferred the lollies , then wants go slap the child for taking one. Move on ....
john of jakarta, indonesia says November 07, 2012 at 12:48 PM
The whole issue is now open to serious debate and naturally coaches are not going to tell assistant coaches to coach to lose or suggest to players they throw games but blind freddie knows what happened in the Kreuzer Cup. The AFL needs to look at this very carefully because it embraces a whole range of issues including teams putting players is "cotton wool" early, having medical attention before the season end, "experimenting" with players out of position, resting players at critical times during games, players missing "sitter" goals and the most questionable issue of salary cap cheating with players having external contracts ie Tippett and Judd (what a joke). All these cases have the ability to influence a level playing field. This issue is a pandora's box and therefore should be considered in the broadest possible context (not in isolation from other tanking and rule cheating issues) when a final conclusion and decision is made. Essendon supporter!!
Melbourne fans wear nappies. says November 07, 2012 at 4:17 PM
chris of sunnybank - Most of those clubs played in grand finals or prelim finals over the past 7 years or so, so they obviously weren't tanking or else they wouldn't have gotten past that losing culture so quickly. You make a good point on Carlton and Richmond though. They should also be investigated. As for comparing throwing games for draft picks with taking lollies and AFL clubs with children, you've lost me! It's like a thief blaming a victim for the temptation they created by having their valuable items on display. No, there's such a thing as self control. Melbourne might have a couple more clubs in the same boat as them, but it's still sinking and they can't blame anyone else but themselves. @Big Dawg of Aukland - I think you'll find plenty of people willing to bag Carlton for exactly the same thing. Maybe not in Aukland though.
chris of sunnybank says November 07, 2012 at 9:24 PM
"Melbourne fans wear nappies" ... what substance are you on. It's the years those clubs got their priority picks that I was referring to. They all lost many many late season games and trialled players in new "postions" and got the priority pick. Surely the Afl should set rules at the start not years later with hindsight ... his shield unit have done that. Find the rule that was broken. Make your comment but don't shoot down others.
BertSworth of Earth says November 08, 2012 at 11:48 AM
Forget looking back into any club... They need to scrap the priority picks immediatley and change the draft order to some sort of lottery. Give cash incentives for ladder placings and all will be fixed. It certainly does not require a royal commission... Dont deny it happened, but fix it and move on!!

Comment: Re:Nothing wrong with the Trades (Score 1) 359
I look down on them because of their widespread bad business practices: the majority of the time you can expect price gouging and poor workmanship. They'd be better off working for Microsoft with that attitude.
I'm sorry that you have experienced the worst side of the human experience. It has certainly not been mine. Yes, I have encountered the occasional scammer, but by and large the tradesmen I have had direct contact with have been honest. I have heard people complain about the $50/hr plumber or mechanic, so they hire the $20/hr guy who comes in and does a crappy job, then they end up paying a competent worker the 50 bucks an hour anyways to make it right.
If you hire someone who takes you to the cleaners, you have a right to be upset, but if you failed to get references, and do your research, you have to accept some of the blame as well

I've always been very dubious about using the iPlayer to watch TV programmes I've missed. Sitting in front of a computer to watch the iPlayer isn't exactly my idea of pleasure!
However, I recently bought a new all singing and dancing PC which has a HDMI socket on the back so, out of curiosity, I experimented connecting the PC to my TV with a HDMI cable - and it worked perfectly (after setting the TV as a clone of my monitor and temporarily setting the TV as the default sound while I was using it). So I bought a long HDMI cable and can use my TV to watch iPlayer programmes (together with any videos, etc I have on my PC).
I know this is a trivial post but connecting up my TV in this way means that the TV iPlayer is now something that is useful for me, rather than being vaguely irritating and something to only use as a last resort.
