TowerJazz to Present at Mentor Forum Israel on January 15, 2013
Jan 14, 2013, 04:00 EST
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, January 14, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, today announced its participation at the Mentor Forum Israel on January 15, 2013 at the Hilton Tel-Aviv hotel. TowerJazz is utilizing several Mentor tool sets, both for design and mask generation, and will be exhibiting at the event. TowerJazz will also provide two presentations; Mr. Amir Oren, Senior Program Manager, Mask Technology Group, will discuss automated Design Rule Checking (DRC) waiver technology and Mr. Ronen Hasnes, Design Enablement Manager will present on TowerJazz's reference flow and its use of Mentor's Calibre® PERC product.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120509/531192 )
Mr. Oren's talk will take place at 15:15 in the physical verification track under "Double Patterning and the Calibre Platform: A Deep Dive" and will focus on the DRC violation auto waiver, a technique implemented on GDSII files intended to reduce the amount of DRC errors that appear when run. Usually these errors, if approved by an integrator, take a lot of time as the approval is done manually and on a case-by-case basis. By having an automatic runset that identifies and approves these cases, it saves a lot of time and allows a more fluent tapeout flow. It also allows the debug to focus on the errors that need to be corrected, if any.
TowerJazz's presentation on its reference flow and use of Mentor's Calibre PERC solution will be provided by Mr. Hasnes at 11:55 in the physical verification track under "Using Calibre PERC for Circuit Reliability Verification." Calibre PERC provides the unique ability to combine schematic (netlist) and physical layout criteria and measurements to perform advanced checks that were previously done manually because they were difficult or impossible to automate. TowerJazz is currently using Calibre PERC internally to create specialized circuit reliability checks for its customers, which include but are not limited to electrostatic discharge (ESD), charge device modeling (CDM), and power management propagation checks. TowerJazz is also planning to issue Calibre PERC rule decks to TowerJazz customers.
"We are pleased to collaborate with Mentor and develop these unique usages for their tool sets. The development by the TowerJazz design center and mask groups with the Mentor support team will provide better design-rule coverage for our customers increasing their confidence in the design and getting to market faster," said Ori Galzur, Vice President of the TowerJazz VLSI Design Center. "Enabling a clean DRC run will ease the tapeout procedure for our customers and allow them to develop products with a higher confidence level in their design."

DOVER — The girlfriend of murder suspect Seth Mazzaglia is facing a witness tampering charge after allegedly trying to persuade another woman to lie about her whereabouts on the night University of New Hampshire student Elizabeth Marriott died.
Prosecutors say Kathryn "Kat" McDonough contacted the woman 29 days after Marriott's disappearance and asked her to deny that she visited Mazzaglia's apartment in Dover on Oct. 9, 2012. The woman is identified in court documents as Roberta Gerkin.
Although Marriott's body has not been recovered, prosecutors say they have gathered "credible" evidence indicating Mazzaglia suffocated or strangled Marriott inside his apartment on Mill Street the night she went missing.
That night, Marriott was planning to see a female friend after leaving campus in Durham at about 9 p.m. A family member said the friend lived in an apartment on Mill Street with her boyfriend,
McDonough was indicted this month by a Rockingham County grand jury on the witness tampering charge, as well as charges of hindering apprehension or prosecution and conspiracy to do the same.
Prosecutors say McDonough gave a false alibi to investigators looking into Marriott's disappearance. She is also accused of lying about her interaction with Marriott on Oct. 9, "knowing that Mazzaglia was liable to be charged with murder."
In a statement released through their attorney Wednesday, Marriott's parents, Bob and Melissa, said McDonough betrayed her friendship with their daughter, whom she met while the two were working together at Target in Greenland.
"It is the Marriott's opinion that the betrayal of that friendship contributed to Lizzi's death and the disappearance of her body," the statement reads. "The Marriott family remains hopeful that as further evidence is developed, that the NH Attorney General's Office is able to press additional criminal charges that carry a more significant criminal sanction than those contained in the current indictment against Ms. McDonough."
The family also extended its appreciation for the efforts of the state attorney general's office, state police, Dover police, New Hampshire Marine Patrol and local fish and game officers. The FBI and "numerous other organizations" have also contributed to the investigation, they said.
"The Marriott family also appreciates the ongoing prayers and best wishes for their family as they continue to mourn the loss of Lizzi," the family statement reads.

ART21 Season 8: Art in the Twenty-First Century premiered September 16, 2016.
Los Angeles
Featuring artists Diana Thater, Liz Larner, Tala Madani, and Edgar Arceneaux.
About ART21 Season 8: Art in the Twenty-First Century
Art in the Twenty-First Century provides unparalleled access to the most innovative artists of our time, revealing how artists engage the culture around them and how art allows viewers to see the world in new ways. For the first time in the show's history, the episodes are not organized around an artistic theme. Instead the 16-featured artists are grouped by their unique and revealing relationships to the places where they live: Chicago, Los Angeles, Mexico City and Vancouver.
Read more about the show below.
Take a Closer Look at ART21 Season 8
More About the Season 8 Episodes
Episode 1: Chicago (Premiered Friday, September 16 at 9 p.m.)
Chicago is a city rooted in industry and towering architecture, and artists in Chicago are disrupting urban experience through experimentation.
Episode 2: Mexico City (Premiered Friday, September 16 at 10 p.m.)
Mexico City artists exit their homes and studios to use the growing megalopolis as their canvas. The artists present everyday materials as artworks, mine recognizable images for their poetic potential, and take their art to the streets.
Episode 3: Los Angeles ( Premiered Friday, September 23 at 9 p.m.)
While sprawling Los Angeles has world-class museums and art schools, artists working in the shadow of the entertainment industry are more "under the radar," affording them the space and time to imagine.
Episode 4: Vancouver (Premiered Friday, September 23 at 10 p.m.)
In small and tightly-knit Vancouver, artists reframe the world through a series of sophisticated illusions. By recreating historical moments, staging photos of vernacular scenes, and crafting intricate sculptures that trick the eye, artists reveal how everyday images and moments from the past are not always what they seem.

At Victoria Miro, Varda Caivano's Latest Paintings Capture Thoughts in Process
Artsy Editorial
Known for her flat, small-scale paintings, Varda Caivano works within an aesthetic of restraint, combining formal mastery with an openness to the unexpected. Mostly abstract with the occasional evocation of a landscape, Caivano's works embody the artist's ambivalence about the notion of resolution. As such, her paintings share a fragile quality elicited through her combinations of color and the thinness of the paint, which Caivano achieves in some instances by allowing the canvas to show through.
Argentine, b. 1971, Buenos Aires, Argentina, based in London, United Kingdom

A Food Blog that shares tried & true recipes, and my passion for cooking and baking with a garnish of beginning gardening and some travel.
Sunday, August 23, 2009
Tomato Bounty, a little garden work and a visitor. Eeeeeeeeeek!
Craig and I mutually agree that we need to stick to container gardening. We have too many ground squirrels and gophers, who (the first year we lived here) massacred the garden Craig created on top of our hill-- including a drip irrigation system.
The earth is too clay-ish and would take a lot of work and money to try growing vegetables on top of the hill again. At one time, Craig managed to have 200 heirloom tomatoes, that were growing beautifully. Those darn rodents chewed up and destroyed most of our tomato crop. We were so frustrated, and we tried everything we could think of-- to no avail.
These two little scaredy cats (littermates Camo and Tiger Lilly) are in their prime years (12 years old) and have quit being useful hunters of rodents. They just watch me from the safety of the back door, and are pampered and spoiled rotten by us.
I picked a lot of tomatoes, and I made something that I'll blog about later in the week.
Craig has lovingly fed and nurtured our two container lemon trees-- one is a Eureka and the other is a Meyer Lemon Tree. That !#$#$ Meyer lemon tree has not coughed up one ripe lemon in three years!
Ha! there are a LOT of blossoms and small green Meyer lemons. Could this be the year of bounty? Please? I love Meyer lemons!
It won't be long until these orange bell peppers are ready for something tasty!
Do you see my lovely chives? These have done so well for me this year (and I take credit for watering these, faithfully). I had to pull out a lot of dried chives I fell behind in trimming. I use chives in so many recipes...
I love baked potatoes with butter, sour cream (in moderation, of course) and fresh chives. Yummy!
See my garden cart (actually this used to be my horse's manure cart when my horse lived nearby and I had stall cleaning duty) full of dried curly parsley, dead cilantro and old chives? It kind of felt like giving the chive plants a haircut-- and it does look a whole lot better!
Well, folks... later this afternoon, my husband grabbed my camera and I saw him photographing the garden cart full of what I had trimmed away.
I just uploaded my photos to edit and look what he photographed!
There's that unmistakable hour glass. While deaths from black widows are very rare, I hear they can cause a very nasty bite. Either way, I don't want to test either theory!
Look again, at the photo I took of my garden cart! See it in the left corner? How did I miss that?!
I'm not afraid of mice and most spiders. But I would have definitely squealed in fear and run away fast!
I think I feel safer with a chef's knife and a hot stove than I do digging around where these critters dwell.
My husband-- my hero.
It's back to work tomorrow, so I'll blog when I can. I didn't bake this weekend. Let's just say that my tomato project turned out to be a lot more labor intensive than I banked on.
Wishing all of you a great week,
Little Miss Muffet, who is not sitting on her tuffet

Yikes on the spider!! It's that time of year for all bugs everywhere to unite and come out to scare us all. I hope you get some meyer lemons this season. Sounds like you have a lot of goodies to harvest! My mom is growing bell peppers and a recent storm blew them right onto the ground. They were like little baby bell peppers and we made teeny tiny little stuffed bell peppers. They were so cute! Gardening is so rewarding.

Your tomatoes are beautiful and plentiful. Eeek on the spider! I didn't even see it on the cart. They're smaller than I thought- I don't think I've seen one IRL.
I'm crossing my fingers for your Meyer lemons.

Your garden is beautiful, especially the tomatoes. I didn't have a vegetable garden this year and I really missed it. Eeek is right on that spider. Great photo, though. Thanks for visiting my blog and for your kind comment.

I love the tomatoes, I skipped planting anything this year, hopefully next year I will be back to normal. I am deathly afraid of spiders, I am so glad that one did not jump you!

Love your container garden...we have severe arachnophobia around here...

We can't have anything but containers, either. The critters destroy everything! We have quite a few of the visitors, also. They give me the creeps....almost as bad as snakes!
You have an abundance of tomatoes! Enjoy.

I envy you your garden. I wish I could've planted one this year. Hopefully next year.
I do have more than my fair share of black widow spiders though. Sometimes I go out at night with a flash light and spray adhesive and glue them to their webs. no fumes, no chasing after them...no worries LOL

Eek is right! I would never go outside again!
Lovely tomatoes, I agree - container gardening is the way to go.

That spider is scary!
I envy your beautiful garden. I grow herbs on my balcony, and this year, I obtained tomato plants. After months of waiting, I was rewarded with three little tomatoes. Two have been harvested and eaten. the other is still ripening. Once I eat it, I'm afraid that's the end.
Good luck with the lemons.

My husband just tried to photograph a spider in our garden but the picture didn't come out nearly as well as yours. Men and spiders. I would love to have a Meyer lemon but I would have to bring it inside and baby it in the winter, so that's out for me. We are growing tomatoes in our herb garden. Can't get enough tomatoes.

Oh dear. I would have jumped out of my skin and run screaming into the house. I don't do well with spiders =). The tomatoes are beautiful! Mine are just now starting to turn ripe after what seems like forever. Can't wait to see what you made with them!

Gorgeous, colorful photos. I can't get over the color of the sky! The spiders give me the heeby-geebies no matter where they are....what a close up! Those tomatoes look good even in August! ~ roz

Just found your blog and I see many friends among the commentors. Your containers look prolific! Bugs even. By the way, you are right about the Julie blog. I think that is one of the reasons that Julia was not interested in meeting or endorsing her.

I live part time in the desert where, I discovered to my dismay, there are a lot of black widows. I keep my organic bug spray close at hand. I learned that most spiders, if they walk across something that's been sprayed with something bad for them, they later lick it off their feet when they are cleaning themselves, and they die that way. BUT, and a big but - black widows are dirty and don't clean themselves, so you have to spray directly on them.
I've learned much more about spiders than I ever cared to know.
Meyer lemons - yum. They are my favorites. When I used to live in snow country I grew them in my greenhouse so I could have some all year round. Tomatoes too. My two favorites.

Dr. Beth Canfield-Simbro
Teaching Area(s): Health and Public Health
Title: Associate Professor of Human Performance and Sport Business
Courses Taught: Health,
I wasn't sure what to do after I finished an undergraduate degree in biology, so I enrolled in a graduate program in public health without really knowing what public health was! I learned about health education, which is a specialty area in public health, during my first semester in graduate school and have loved it ever since.
Teaching Style
I like to use case studies and activities to bring the content to life because public health should be fun! We will watch movies, interview public health professionals, listen to guest speakers and develop careers skills by designing programs, writing for newspapers and having a public health blog. I am easily bored by doing the same thing over and over again, so I'm always trying new ideas in my classrooms.
Passion for Public Health
Sharing my passion for public health with my students is incredibly rewarding.
I love the McPherson Academic and Athletic Complex (The MAAC), because I can work out before or after class. I'd like to hold walking office hours on the track in the fall!
Relationship with Students
I went to large state schools and was amazed by the relationships I've built at Mount Union with my students, colleagues and alumni. The quality of those relationships is what makes the University unique for me. The people here are fantastic.
Preparing for the Future
Mount Union students have access to many resources: plenty of individual faculty attention, internships, successful alumni and professionals, research opportunities and study abroad experiences.
Research Interests
Adolescent health and community assessment
B.S., Biology, Wright State University
M.P.H., Public Health, The Ohio State University
Ph.D., Public Health, The Ohio State University
I like to use case studies and activities to bring the content to life because public health should be fun! We will watch movies, interview public health professionals, listen to guest speakers and develop careers skills.
- If You Could Teach Another Class
- Public health is very interdisciplinary, so I'm not sure what wouldn't be related to public health…. I think it would be awesome to become a certified yoga or Zumba instructor.
- Favorite Quote or Motto
- "Healthcare is vital to all of us some of the time, but public health is vital to all of us all of the time." –C. Everett Koop
- Surprising News
- I love to bake and make some fairly unhealthy things—today I made cocoa cereal treats for my six year old!
- If You Weren't a Professor
- I think I would be working in sexual health education for a non-profit organization.
- Places to Visit or Things to Do
- I really want to take our young daughters to Disney World. Our eldest has been there once, and it was magical; I want our baby to have the same magic when she's a bit older.
- Favorite Movie
- The first Harry Potter movie—I can watch it over and over again!
- Favorite Book
- I couldn't possibly pick a favorite one! I love to read in any spare time I have.

We are the nameless, faceless, sons and daughters of the Alliance. By the Light and by the might of the Alliance, the first strike belongs to us and the last strike is all that our enemies see.
We are 7th Legion."
CataclysmEditThis section concerns content exclusive to Cataclysm.
Wyrmbane is mentioned in a Horde quest in Silverpine Forest, and is briefly visible in a cutscene on top of the gnomish submarine off of Gilneas' coast. His subsequent involvement in the zone remains unclear.

We'll 'pry guns from cold, dead fingers'
Columnist proposes killing NRA members, dragging Republicans behind pickups
DES MOINES, Iowa – For 50 years, the left-leaning columnist Donald Kaul has raged against guns, but after the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, he says, it's time for "anger," killing gun owners and dragging legislators who disagree with gun control behind pickup trucks until they get the message.
The Pulitzer Prize-nominated columnist penned an alarming screed published in the Des Moines Register in which he further suggested the Second Amendment be repealed and the National Rifle Association be declared a terrorist organization.
"During my 50-year career," Kaul wrote, "every time some demented soul would take a semiautomatic gun and clean out a post office, a school or a picnic, I'd get up on my soap box and let loose with a withering diatribe about guns, the National Rifle Association and weak-kneed politicians. Did it about 75 times, give or take."
Yet each time, he lamented, the only result was a spike in gun sales.
"That's obscene," he opined. "Here, then, is my 'madder-than-hell-and-I'm-not-going-to-take-it-anymore' program for ending gun violence in America."
His first step: "Repeal the Second Amendment, the part about guns anyway. It's badly written, confusing and more trouble than it's worth. … Surely the Founders couldn't have envisioned weapons like those used in the Newtown shooting when they guaranteed gun rights. Owning a gun should be a privilege, not a right."
Second: "Declare the NRA a terrorist organization and make membership illegal. … Make ownership of unlicensed assault rifles a felony. If some people refused to give up their guns, that 'prying the guns from their cold, dead hands' thing works for me."
Third: "Then I would tie Mitch McConnell and John Boehner, our esteemed Republican leaders, to the back of a Chevy pickup truck and drag them around a parking lot until they saw the light on gun control."
"And if that didn't work," Kaul concludes, "I'd adopt radical measures."
Kaul explains his dramatic measures this way: "The thing missing from the debate so far is anger – anger that we live in a society where something like the Sandy Hook Elementary massacre can happen and our main concern is not offending the NRA's sensibilities."
It would appear Kaul has supplied his missing ingredient.

Your order will ship on or around the release date
Author Gerald McDermott has presented picture-book enthusiasts with yet another enthralling adaptation of a well-known folktale, this one from West Africa.
The trickster and folk hero, Kwaku Anansi, is a spider with six even wiser sons. In the course of the story, these six sons come to fulfill the promise of their respective colorful names as they work together to rescue their beloved father, when, one day, he wanders far from home and gets lost, seemingly forever...in the belly of a fish. The first son, called See Trouble, is the first to perceive that Anansi is in danger. Road Builder, the second son, builds a path for the six spiders to reach Anansi. River Drinker drains the stream where the troublesome fish lives, and Game Skinner splits open the fish to reveal Anansi, thankfully, still intact. But just as one problem is solved, another descends, and Stone Thrower, together with the last son, Cushion, join forces to rescue father Anansi from that scrape, too. Home safe at last, Anansi decides to reward the rescuing son with a great globe of light. But even with the help of the Ashanti god, Nyame, it is impossible to choose just one spider son. Aptly, the great globe of light is placed in the night sky to bless everyone.
Author McDermott is renowned not only for his work in world of mythology, but also for his talents in animation and illustration. These strengths combine to create a vivid tale, based upon an Ashanti legend that also draws visually from African design motifs. The pictures echo the traditional woven silk fabric of the Ashanti, into which they have long woven the rich symbols of their art and folklore: Sun, Moon, Creation, Universe, and yes, Anansi, the Spider. Winner of a Caldecott Medal, Anansi is a stunning read

Friends of the late L.D. Bruce and Cedar Bluff High School football fans are taking a step back in time this fall as they commemorate the Tigers' 1962 state championship team. Members of that team are nearing their 70th birthday, but what they accomplished 50 years ago this fall is still fresh in their memories.
Friends of the late L.D. Bruce and Cedar Bluff High School football fans are taking a step back in time this fall as they commemorate the Tigers' 1962 state championship team. Members of that team are nearing their 70th birthday, but what they accomplished 50 years ago this fall is still fresh in their memories.
The team was honored earlier this summer, and again at a football game this fall. The stadium has been renovated at a cost of $750,000 and bears the name of Bruce, its legendary Hall of Fame coach. All the recognition was well deserved.
Led by Jim Bouchillon and David Bedwell, who went on to play for Auburn and Alabama, respectively, the Tigers of '62 went 10-0 and were named state champions. These two athletes were among 11 team members, plus former coach Ed Arnold, who were present for the halftime ceremonies.
Bruce's son, Michael Lynn, said Bouchillon and Bedwell were the school's all-time best players, but there were others who were also named to all-state teams. He mentioned Harry and Larry Tucker, plus Boyd McHugh.
Today's younger fans may not know (or even care) what happened back then. It has been said that the new generation is only aware of sporting events seen on ESPN's Sports Center. Anything beyond that is ancient history.
I've seen a few articles referring to the mid-1900s as the days of yore. True, Coach Bruce and his teams were big news in the past, but it wasn't that long ago. At least it doesn't seem that long ago to those players and fans. It doesn't seem so long ago to this old sports writer who covered the games and wrote about the championships. And it certainly doesn't seem like it has been 50 years to coach Bruce's son, who has just written a book, entitled "Coach" about his father's life from firsthand experiences as an athlete playing under his dad's tutelage.
The book covers Bruce's career from when he left Crossville for college in 1939, the war years, his return, playing at Jacksonville State and going into coaching. There are chapters about various teams and different sports and having to give up coaching because of health problems. But primarily it centers on six glory years, 1958 to 1964.
During one streak, beginning with the last two wins in 1958 and extending through the first three games of 1964, the Tigers won 41 consecutive games and three state championships. They were never ranked below No. 3 in the state during that entire period. The 1959 (10-0) and the 1961 (9-0) teams were also named state champions in their class by various publications.
The son recalls that one of the remarkable things about the streak was that there were no key injuries. Another is that with a small squad, his dad would take the right side of the offensive line and put it on defense to scrimmage running plays to the left. Then, he'd switch the left offensive line to defense and scrimmage toward the right side.
Bouchillon was a senior on the '62 team and committed to Auburn. Back then assistant coaches would go to the player's home on signing day. I went up to the Bouchillon home to cover his signing in early December. Assistant coach Gene Lorendo was representing Auburn. When we arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Bouchillon were there along with coaches Bruce and Arnold. But Jim was nowhere to be seen — he'd gone bird hunting.
While everyone cooled their heels, coach Bruce talked about Jim being as good as any player he'd ever coached. And Coach Lorendo told stories about the intricacies of recruiting. He said kin folk can be quite persuasive, pointing out that Jim's uncle was an Auburn graduate and a good one to have on his side. Finally, Jim returned from his hunt. I took a picture of the five of them watching him sign the scholarship.
A year later, I was at the Bedwell's, posing Mr. and Mrs. Buddy Bedwell and little sister Donna Sue around David along with his coaches, Bruce and Arnold. Representing Alabama was coach Dude Hennessy.
Hennessy didn't have to wait, but he found time to talk anyway. He mentioned that David had a good mama and papa, the best high school coaching, and would be a fine player for the Crimson Tide as either a quarterback or H-back. "He is also an excellent defensive player," he added. Bedwell had been an outstanding passer and All-State quarterback, but with Steve Sloan and Kenny Stabler already on campus, he wound up playing defense.
As the Tigers' long unbeaten streak continued to grow it became statewide news. One night I sent a stringer to cover a game. He phoned in after the game all excited, telling us the game had ended in a 7-7 tie. That was big news. The story was smashed across the top of the front sports page with a big bold headline. Just as the presses were starting to roll the stringer phoned back.
"I made a mistake," he said, apologizing. "They missed their extra point. Cedar Bluff won, 7-6."
That was my first and only time to shout, "STOP THE PRESSES!"
By then it was after deadline and past midnight. But someone phoned Coach Bruce, got him out of bed, and verified what had happened. The story was rewritten, the page rebuilt and the presses finally started.
Unlike the late columnist Will I. Martin, memory doesn't serve here. It may have been after a big win or maybe the day after the winning streak was snapped. Anyway, we needed a follow-up story from Cedar Bluff. It was a Sunday night, which was not the best time to phone coach Bruce because he was an avid viewer of the "Bonanza" TV show. But the call was made and it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened for the coach.
He had to leave his TV program to answer the phone, and when he did, he saw a fire truck with flashing lights and screaming siren coming down the street.
"Just a minute," he said. "I want to see what's going on."
In a couple of minutes he came back to the phone all excited. "Gotta go," he said. "The house that was on fire is my house, there's a fire back in the kitchen."
He told me later that if we hadn't phoned he'd have sat there and watched "Bonanza" while his house burned down around him.

Obama aide rips sequester, respects Woodward
A suddenly famous member of President Obama's administration provided the White House position on the sequester dispute during a string of Sunday television interviews.
Not only is Gene Sperling a top economic adviser to Obama, he is the once-unnamed senior official involved in last week's flap with reporter Bob Woodward.
"This sequester is a win for nobody," Sperling said on CNN's State of the Union, discussing the $85 billion in budget cuts that began to take effect this weekend. "It is just a loss for the American people."
Sperling, who also appeared on ABC's This Week and NBC's Meet the Press, also said he wants to put the Woodward fracas behind him, and that he still respects the longtime Washington Post investigative reporter.
"Bob and I have known each other for 20 years," Sperling said."He's a legend."
Woodward, who has been critical of Obama's sequester actions, said the White House sought to intimidate him, citing one "senior person" who sent an e-mail warning he would "regret" what he was saying.
That senior official turned out to be Sperling, and his e-mail turned out to be much more friendly and innocuous than reported by Woodward.
Woodward, appearing on CBS' Face the Nation, said he didn't feel threatened by the White House, but found the e-mail unnecessary. "Like all White Houses, they don't like being challenged," Woodward said.
As for the sequestration, Sperling told CNN that Obama would continue to seek alternatives to the $85 billion in cuts that he said will slash programs devoted to national defense, education, infrastructure and other things.
Obama is seeking a new debt reduction agreement that includes more targeted budget cuts as well as higher tax revenue through the elimination of loopholes that benefit the wealthy.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., also on CNN, said Republicans oppose any new debt deal that includes higher taxes.
"We have a spending addiction in Washington," McConnell said.

"Once" in a Lifetime Experience
One of my favorite things about the Honors College is that students are presented with many opportunities, such as living-learning trips, to explore interests outside their majors. I love my major and really enjoy taking nutrition classes, but I also love attending concerts and plays and visiting art museums in my spare time. On January 25, I got to do both of those things on our first living-learning trip of the semester. Several of my fellow Honors College students and I traveled to Durham, where we were able to see some incredible works of art and an award-winning musical. Despite the cold weather, we all had a great time!
Our first stop was the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, where we were split into groups for guided tours. My favorite exhibition in the museum was called Lines of Control: Partitions as a Productive Space. Most of the pieces in the exhibition were created by South Asian artists and were inspired by the division of India in 1947.
After we left the museum, we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Tobacco Road and then headed over to the Durham Performing Arts Center to see a performance of the musical Once. The show won several Tony Awards in 2012, including Best Musical, so I was really excited to be able to see it. I was really impressed by the entire cast, who doubled as an onstage band. Everyone played their own instruments and they even came out before the show and played Irish and Czech folk songs. It was a unique show and I'm so glad I got to see it with some of my friends!
Spending the day in Durham was a great way to take a break from school and catch up with friends while enjoying the arts. Hopefully I will have the opportunity to go on more trips like this one in the future!

With Washington State Department of Transportation crews and the drivers waiting at the gates, celebrated at noon today, May 8, as the North Cascades Highway reopened just a day before the annual '49er Days Celebration in Winthrop.
Crews began the clearing process on State Route 20, the North Cascades Highway, on March 31. This year it took crews nearly six weeks to clear the highway as they cleared snow as deep as 35 feet over the roadway. On average, it takes four to six weeks for crews to clear the highway.
"We all live up here and know how great it will be for local businesses to have the highway open for the festival," said Don Becker, WSDOT Maintenance Supervisor.
The mid-day reopening allowed the crew time to sweep the entire 37-mile winter closure zone for sand, rocks and debris, clear any snow from below avalanche chutes, and apply sand or deicer as needed.
For more information, including a history of opening and closing dates, maps, photos and progress reports on the 2014 opening, visit the North Cascades web page:

Marvell Technology Group (NASDAQ:MRVL) makes semiconductor chips predominantly used in hard drives. Their chips also can be found in a wide range of communication applications such as network routers, Microsoft Xbox, and smartphones. Marvell's semiconductor chips power electronics such as Research in Motion's Blackberry, the Amazon Kindle, and Apple's iPhone and iPod with wireless-internet capabilities.[1] The company earned $2.8 billion in revenue and $353 million in net income in 2009.[2]
Marvell is a fabless semiconductor company, meaning that they outsource the actual production of their semiconductors to other factories. Marvell's revenue growth has primary come from sales of its semiconductors designed for data storage.[3] Although headquartered in the United States, Marvell generates 96% of its revenue from outside the US (mainly in Asia).[4] The slowdown in the global economy has led to lower sales growth for Marvell's storage products. As a result, revenue growth for the company's semiconductor products have fallen during the slowdown.
Marvell has increased production of semiconductors for consumer electronics, such as gaming consoles and smart phones in order to take advantage of the growing demand for wireless, hand held devices.
Geographically, Marvell's net revenues are based on the destination of their semiconductor shipments. Marvell sells its chips to many global corporations such as Intel, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu, but most of Marvell's chips are shipped to and assembled in Asian countries.
As with any technology-driven company, innovation is crucial to Marvell's future success. Marvell devotes approximately one-third of net revenue to research and development. A substantial portion of Marvell's expenses come from research and development. The focus of their research and development sector is not only to develop new lines of products but also to reduce production costs of its current chips.
Demand in the semiconductor industry is very cyclical. Consumer and corporate demand for semiconductor containing electronics can reach levels beyond a manufacturer's production capability. In the same way, the demand for these consumer electronics, especially PCs, can plummet over the course of a month or two. Typically, the consumer market for electronics is more volatile than the corporate market for electronics. Because a majority of Marvell's sales still come from large corporations, it is partially protected from substantial declines in demand. As its presence in the consumer electronics business increases, Marvell will increase its overall exposure to this volatile industry. Despite its volatility, the semiconductor industry has experienced an average 13% annual growth over the past 20 years.
The ripple effects of the United States economic slowdown have reached many of Marvell's primary markets, including China and Japan. As businesses tighten their budgets for new technology, there has been a sharp decline in the demand of the new hard disk drives that traditionally account for nearly half of Marvell's sales. As a result, sales of Marvell's chips used for storage have experienced slower growth during the slow economic times. Also, the Chinese and Japanese currencies have depreciated relative to the United States dollar. Consequently, the chipmaker's products have become more expensive relative to comparable products of its Chinese counterparts. Some analysts believe that Marvell may lose market share to companies that can produce chips at lower costs. With excess inventory in their storage segment, new orders for Marvell's chips will continue to slow down.
Although Marvell's diverse portfolio puts the company in competition with several large companies. In the storage industry, LSI Corporation merged with Agere and elected to make storage units its primary focus. [1] In the communication market, Marvell will compete with Broadcom and Atheros. Both Broadcom and Atheros have favorable reputations and have been aggressively pushing their networking chips to enterprises and retail customers.
Furthermore, a significant amount of Marvell's revenue come from a limited number of customers. For example, one customer accounted to more than 10% of their net revenues.Most of Marvell's sales come from orders, which are easy to cancel, change, or delay.
Because growth in the storage industry is slowing down, semiconductor companies like Broadcom and Atheros have started to branch out. One of Marvell's strategies has been to shift focus from servicing mainly large businesses to providing communication chips to a wide-range of individual consumer electronics. Marvell's Wi-Fi chips, which are present in several popular media players, are among its most promising new products. As 3G and now 4G technologies become standard, Marvell will be in position to supply many new costumers with Wi-Fi capable phones.[6]

Ryan Harrow scored a career-high 23 points and Kentucky used a 21-5 second-half run to pull away for an 82-54 victory over Marshall on Saturday.
Archie Goodwin added 18 points and Nerlens Noel 11 as the Wildcats (8-3) won their fourth straight before a season-high 24,271 at Rupp Arena. Kentucky also improved to 12-0 against Marshall.
Kentucky's final tune-up before next Saturday's showdown at fifth-ranked Louisville saw the Wildcats shoot just 42 percent (29 of 69) but benefit from even worse shooting by the Thundering Herd, who hit 29.5 percent (18 of 61).
Harrow, making his second straight start at point guard, helped lift Kentucky from its sluggish start with 11 first-half points and two assists. He surpassed his previous career high of 20 two years against South Carolina Upstate while playing for North Carolina State.
Elijah Pittman had 17 points and Dennis Tinnon 14 for Marshall (7-6).

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A new genetic analysis has reconstructed the history of North Africa's Jews, showing that these populations date to biblical-era Israel and are not largely the descendants of natives who converted to Judaism, scientists reported on Monday.
The study also shows that these Jews form two distinct groups, one of which is more closely related than the other to their European counterparts, reflecting historical migrations.
The findings are the latest in series of genetic studies, which began in the 1990s, indicating that the world's Jews share biological roots, not just cultural and religious ties. In many cases the analyses have confirmed what scholars had gleaned from archaeological finds and historical accounts.
"This work demonstrates a shared genetic history among the Jews of North Africa and strengthens the case for a biological basis for Jewishness," said medical geneticist Harry Ostrer of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, who led the study.
For the new analysis, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Ostrer and his colleagues examined the genomes of 509 Jews and 11 non-Jews from North Africa, which is home to the second-largest Jewish diaspora. Only the European diaspora, which includes American Jews, is larger.
The scientists found that the Jewish populations of North Africa became genetically distinct over time, with those of each country carrying their own DNA signatures. That suggests they mostly married within their own religious and cultural group, said Ostrer. "They lived in ghettos," he said, "so their mobility was quite restricted, and by marrying each other they became as closely related as first cousins once removed."
The analysis showed that all North African Jews are descended from forebears in the Middle East, supporting the hypothesis that biblical-era Israelites among Phoenician traders established colonies along the North African coast.
Common DNA signatures also show that some groups are closer, genetically, to their European co-religionists than expected. That suggests "a shared set of founders," said Ostrer, presumably Jews from the Middle East who migrated west.
If Jewish populations in North Africa and Europe shared ancestors, then Sephardic Jews who settled in Africa after being expelled from Spain during the Inquisition originated in North Africa more than 1,000 years earlier. "The Sephardic Jews show significant North African ancestry," said Ostrer. "That could reflect bidirectional migrations" to and from North Africa and Europe over the centuries.
DNA evidence lends credence to accounts that in 312 BC Egypt's king settled Jews in Cyrenaica, in what is now Tunisia. According to the Jewish historian Josephus (born in AD 37), by the first century AD there were 500,000 Jews there. The DNA that Tunisian Jews share with those of the Middle East supports accounts that, after the destruction of the second temple in Jerusalem in AD 70, 30,000 Jews were deported to Carthage, in what is now Tunisia.
North African Jews fall into two genetically distinct groups: those of Morocco and Algeria and those of Tunisia and Libya. The former are more closely related to Europeans, suggesting that when the Sephardic Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492 and from Portugal in 1497 most of those escaping to North Africa put down stakes in the first lands they reached rather than traveling farther east.
Experts not involved in the new study saw no major surprises but credited it for the breadth of its findings.
"What's new here is the inclusion of several Jewish communities whose DNA had not been studied before, such as those of Tunisia and Georgia," said geneticist Marcus Feldman of Stanford University, co-author of a 2009 study that found significant genetic similarity between European and Middle Eastern Jews.
Including Georgian Jews led to one surprise: that they are closely related to those of the Middle East, including those in Iraq and Iran. "That shows there was significant migration of Jewish populations along the Silk Road beginning in the Persian Empire," said Ostrer. "Just a small number of founders started Jewish communities in India, Burma, and Georgia."
The Jews of Ethiopia are so distantly related to other Jews that their community must have been founded by only a few itinerants who converted local people to Judaism and then married within the local population. It also suggests the founding was more than 2,000 years ago.
That antiquity helps explain why Ethiopian Jews airlifted to Israel during "Operation Moses" in 1984 had no idea about the holiday of Hanukkah, which commemorates events of the second century BC--long after their ancestors had left Israel.

This agreement builds on the existing relationship between the two companies and indicates NeoMagic's continued expansion and development of its MiMagic™ family of applications processors which bring full system-on-chip integration of high-performance multimedia features such as graphics, video and audio, to small, battery operated devices.
"NeoMagic clearly benefits from extending our license agreement beyond the previously-licensed ARM720T™ core, and we intend to take full advantage of the evolution of the ARM9E™ family," said Sanjay Adkar, vice president of corporate engineering at NeoMagic. "In addition, the ARM PrimeXsys Wireless Platform improves our time-to-market for future ARM core-based devices, allowing us to focus our own engineering efforts on the innovative technologies for low-power high-performance multimedia functionality which NeoMagic does best," he added.
"The PrimeXsys Wireless Platform is well suited for NeoMagic because it provides the tools support and methodology to enable rapid product differentiation. With PrimeXsys technology, and the ARM926EJ-S core, NeoMagic is able to extend their design capabilities, integrating their own intellectual properties onto a proven platform, lowering their development risks and decreasing time-to-market," said John Goodacre, ARM Platform Architecture manager. "The combination of ARM's industry-leading architecture with NeoMagic's array processor technology will enable a new generation of innovative SoC solutions for multimedia-rich devices."
Licensing the ARM926EJ-S core gives NeoMagic the ability to develop applications-focused devices incorporating the ARM Jazelle™ technology for Java acceleration. The ARM926EJ-S core combines industry-leading performance with the very low power of ARM Jazelle technology, and an MMU to support virtual memory, required by many of today's leading operating systems (OS).
By licensing the PrimeXsys Wireless Platform based around the ARM926EJ-S core, NeoMagic also benefits from the pre-ported OS and application development environment that the platform provides. The ARM PrimeXsys Wireless Platform is a highly-integrated, extendible platform incorporating all the hardware, software and integration tools that lower development risk by delivering pre-validated, application software and a wide range of operating system ports.

Prosecutors rested their campaign fraud case against John Edwards on Thursday after 14 days of dramatic and often unflattering testimony that focused on the once-promising politician's infidelity and the secret money they say he used to cover up the affair he feared would derail his presidential ambitions.
In its final act, federal prosecutors played a tape of a 2008 national television interview in which the Democrat repeatedly lied about his extramarital affair with the woman who was part of his campaign staff and denied fathering her baby.
The testimony repeatedly showed an unappealing side of Edwards, casting him as a liar and lousy husband. The question is whether prosecutors showed he violated campaign finance laws in using nearly $1 million in undisclosed payments from two wealthy campaign donors to hide his pregnant mistress as he sought the White House.
To prove their case, the government has to not only show that the ex-North Carolina senator knew what the money was being used for, but that he knew he was violating the law and did it anyway.
"The case is weak," said Kieran J. Shanahan, a former federal prosecutor turned Raleigh defense lawyer who has been attending the trial. "They've not shown criminal intent."
On Friday, Edwards' defense team will have its turn and plans to ask U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles to dismiss the case for lack of evidence. Such motions are routine in criminal trials after the prosecution rests, and they very rarely work. The 58-year-old Edwards has pleaded not guilty to six criminal counts and faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
"The prosecution's evidence is good enough to get to the jury, but conviction remains an open question," said Steve Friedland, a former federal prosecutor and professor at Elon University School of Law who has attended the trial. "The case is largely built on circumstantial evidence. There is no smoking gun."
If the judge allows the trial to go forward, the defense will begin presenting its side Monday _ and may call his mistress, Rielle Hunter, to testify. Edwards could also take the stand in his own defense.
Edwards carried on a two-year affair with Hunter _ a videographer who was recording him on the campaign trail _ even as he renewed his marriage vows to his cancer-stricken wife. After his mistress became pregnant, Edwards allowed his right-hand man, Andrew Young, to claim paternity so he could keep up his lofty political ambitions. And he lied repeatedly to his now-deceased wife, his advisers and the public, according to testimony.
After years of adamant public denials, Edwards in 2010 acknowledged paternity of Frances Quinn Hunter, who is now 4 and lives with her mother in Charlotte.
As prosecutors wrapped up their case, they showed the jury records that detailed the money spent to hide Hunter _ $319,500 in cash, luxury hotels, private jets and a $20,000-a-month rental mansion in Santa Barbara, Calif. The bills, flashed up on a large screen for the jury to see, were all paid by Fred Baron, a wealthy Texas lawyer who served as Edwards' 2008 campaign finance chairman.
Phone records introduced into evidence at trial show Edwards was in frequent contact with Baron and Hunter while she was in hiding. A former campaign aide testified he overheard Baron telling Edwards that he was moving Hunter around so the media couldn't find her, while a former speechwriter testified Edwards told her he had known about the finance chairman's support "all along."
Edwards has denied he knew anything about Baron's support for Hunter.
"I've never asked anybody to pay a dime of money, never been told that any money's been paid," Edwards said in the 2008 interview on ABC's Nightline. "Nothing has been done at my request. So if the allegation is that somehow I participated in the payment of money _ that is a lie."
Baron began paying the expenses after tabloid reporters tracked down the pregnant Hunter in Chapel Hill, where she had been secretly living in a house rented for her only a few miles from the Edwards family estate. Hunter was being closely watched over by Young, who falsely claimed paternity of his boss' baby as the tabloid prepared to expose the affair.
As part of the cover-up, Baron paid for Hunter _ and Young and his wife _ to cross the country on private flights worth more than $80,000 and stay in waterfront hotel suites costing nearly $44,000, including bar tabs and frequent room service. Baron also leased a mansion in Santa Barbara for the mistress as she prepared to give birth, with total costs over the next eight months totaling $184,378.
At the time, individual contributions to federal campaigns were limited by federal law to $2,300 per election cycle. Baron had already provided Edwards' campaign the maximum.
In addition to the money from Baron, there was another $725,000 provided by 101-year-old heiress Rachel "Bunny" Mellon to Young. Mellon agreed to support Edwards' personal needs "without government interference" after he took heat for a campaign finance report showing he spent $400 on a haircut. Mellon was never told what the money she gave was being used for.
Edwards denies knowing about the secret payments, which his lawyers contend were gifts from friends looking to help him rather than campaign contributions. Federal law defines a campaign contribution as any gift or payment provided to influence the outcome of an election.
Some of the "Bunny money" went to pay for Hunter's medical bills, buy the mistress a BMW and pay the rent on her North Carolina rental house. Young, who has an immunity agreement with prosecutors, acknowledged on the witness stand early in the trial that much of the cash was siphoned off to build his family's $1.5 million dream house. Baron also helped pay for the house, wiring $325,000 directly to Young's homebuilder.
Much of the money was spent after Edwards suspended his campaign at the end of January 2008 following a string of losses in the early primary states. Prosecutors contend it was still campaign money because Edwards had aspirations of becoming vice president or attorney general.
Prosecutors rested their case Thursday without calling Hunter to the witness stand, though like Young she has an immunity agreement with the government.
Shanahan doubts the defense will call her, either.
"To bring her in and put her face-to-face with the jury would do more harm to the defense than good," the former prosecutor said.
But he predicted Edwards, who made a fortune as a personal injury lawyer before turning to politics, will choose to testify.
"As a defense lawyer, I've represented both politicians and lawyers," Shanahan said. "They always take the stand."

oh wait… no it won't.
Ruckus, the free DRM'd music service on campus will be shut down.
"Ruckus … was brought to the University last Fall after a committee made of students from Student Union (SU) and Congress of the South 40 chose it over four other services." (Ruckus brings mixed success after one year) Hmm!!! Looks like the university thought it was a good idea to shovel a bunch of money in a hole… DRM was flawed from the beginning, so avoiding investing in it has always been a no brainer. I campaigned against dumping money towards a useless service (Dear ResTech – people are going to file share regardless of how you cripple your own network with port blockages and bandwidth throttles), but Wash U invested anyway.
It's not like people couldn't strip the DRM from the music they downloaded in the first place.

Miami-Dade mayor: Dolphins deal close
Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez said Thursday night that negotiations with the Miami Dolphins over public funds to renovate Sun Life Stadium are "not far apart," though the two sides have yet to finalize a deal.
"They have said what they needed and I have said ... what I am willing to give," Gimenez said. "We are not far apart."
A deal between Gimenez and Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is crucial as the Dolphins look to schedule a referendum next month to approve raising hotel taxes to help pay for a nearly $400 million upgrade to the 1987 stadium.
Dolphins CEO Mike Dee went into a closed-door meeting with Gimenez at 3 p.m. Thursday. The mayor, who had a prior engagement, left shortly after 7 p.m., leaving his deputies and Dee behind to continue the discussions. Ross was expected to weigh in at some point in the night via telephone, Gimenez said.
The Dolphins are asking for $3 million a year from Florida and increasing mainland hotel taxes in Miami-Dade to 7 percent from 6 percent to fund about 43 percent of a $390 million renovation of Sun Life. Ross would use private dollars to pay for the rest.
Gimenez said a sticking point in the talks continues to be what portion of the hotel taxes would go to the Dolphins.
"That's a big issue," he acknowledged, otherwise calling it a "very simple deal."

Winner of Your Best Recipe with Coffee
Congratulations to gingerroot, whose Late Night Coffee Brined Chicken won this week's contest for Your Best Recipe with Coffee, earning her a handsome Alfi Thermal Carafe from Williams-Sonoma, plus big prizes from Viking, OXO and Tiny Prints, and a spot in the next food52 cookbook!
Q&A with gingerroot
- Describe an early food experience that has influenced the way you think about food and/or cooking.
- I was fortunate to have two wonderful grandmothers who were both amazing cooks. They both expressed love through cooking and feeding their loved ones. I have vivid memories of helping each of them, at an early age -- maybe around 3 or 4, in the kitchen. For my paternal Grandmother, I was always in charge of grinding the pecans for her pecan pie in a hand mill. I remember sitting right on the kitchen floor to do this. At my maternal Grandmother's house, I was in charge of opening the can of Libby's corned beef for her corned beef hash. I remember thinking it was a big deal. The fact that they both welcomed me into their kitchens and immediately made me a part of the production definitely instilled in me an early love and curiosity for food and cooking.
- What's your least favorite food?
- Hmm ... I don't really care for the shellfish that is in Ozoni, traditional Japanese New Year's soup. I always gulp it down though, for the good luck. I also don't really like or eat processed fast food. That said, hot fries from McDonalds are my best hangover cure.
- What is the best thing you've made so far this year?
- My answer for this is twofold. First, definitely, all the friends I have made here! Cooking and eating is such an intimate activity, the act of sharing ourselves through recipes seems akin to inviting someone over for dinner. I think it would be amazing to have the chance to cook together (and hope to someday!). Second, everything that I have tested -- being able to test recipes is one of the best parts of food52. It has introduced me to recipes that, while I might like to make, the hustle and bustle of life may preclude me from actually trying. This year I have tested some exceptional food and my life is all the better for it! Of my own recipes, I really enjoyed making and eating my Ricotta Risotto with Dandelion Greens and Orange. The ricotta addition was magical with the rice and I loved the contrast of the bitter green and the sweet, fragrant orange.
- Describe your most spectacular kitchen disaster.
- Thankfully I have not had any spectacular ones to date (spectacular to me connotes fire and blood). Ironically, a few weeks ago, during the Your Best Dish You (Intentionally) Set on Fire contest, there were a few moments when after the initial whoosh, the flame just kept on whooshing. Completely out of sorts, instead of grabbing the lid, my first thought was, where is the fire extinguisher?! Is this my spectacular kitchen disaster? It seemed like that flame was never going to end!
- Gingerroot's daughter Lily's first carrot harvest (left); a sunny family photo
- What is your idea of comfort food?
- Definitely some variation of hot Asian soup with or without noodles -- Chicken Pho, Spicy Vegetable Tan Tan, Saimin in Paitan Broth, my mom's after Thanksgiving Turkey Jook, Tom Kha Gai, or just a simple bowl of Miso soup.
- Apron or no apron?
- I would love to say apron, but as my wardrobe attests, no apron. A good friend gave me an apron for Christmas and I am actively working to change this.
- What's your favorite food-related scene in a movie?
- So many great movies involve food! Rather than one specific scene, I am a big fan of Tarantino and love how food plays out in his films. From Reservoir Dogs all the way to Inglourious Basterds, food is never simply a prop. Food is almost a character in a scene, sometimes filled with emotion, sometimes as part of a gaff, sometimes a flex of power. Just like in real life.
- If you could make a show-stopping dinner for one person, living or dead, who would it be?
- I will always want to cook for my grandmothers, who helped shape the cook and food lover in me and never really experienced my cooking. I'd also love to cook for some of my favorite writers, such as Cormac McCarthy. Anyone who can write such beautiful, spare prose would certainly make for interesting dinner conversation. At least he'd likely tell me exactly what he thought about my cooking! And I'd still love to make pasta with Paul Newman.
- You prefer to cook: a. alone, b. with others, c. it depends on your mood
- At home, it is either alone or with my children. Even though he is only three and a half, my son Calder is a terrific sous chef. My six-year-old Lily has a wonderful palate and is developing a sense of food but wants to be in charge, which sometimes proves difficult, since I want to be in charge too. I love cooking with my siblings, and now that we all live in different states, whenever we are together we cook as much as possible.
- When it comes to tidying up, you usually: a. clean as you cook, b. do all the dishes once you've finished cooking, c. leave the kitchen a shambles for your spouse/roommate/kids to clean.
- Definitely try to clean as I cook, especially since I am a pro at getting a lot of dishes, pots, bowls, spoons, etc. dirty in no time flat when cooking. When I cook with my Mom, she spoils me, as she cannot stand dirty dishes in the sink and often gets to them before I have the chance!

RNA Interference Mechanism
Once processed, the vector expressed siRNA is incorporated into a multi-protein nuclease complex known as the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Homology between the sense portion of the siRNA sequence and the mRNA enables the nuclease enzyme to bind and cleave the caspase transcript into small pieces, which are degraded by the cell's machinery.

Women taking certain bone drugs after menopause appear less likely to develop colon cancer, Israeli and U.S. researchers said.
The finding has them excited about the prospect of using the drugs -- called bisphosphonates -- to help prevent cancer in healthy people, but other experts are less enthusiastic.
"The lower risk of colorectal cancer risk seen among bisphosphonate users in this study is intriguing," Eric Jacobs of the American Cancer Society, who wasn't involved in the study, told Reuters Health by e-mail.
"However, these results should be interpreted with caution and require confirmation by additional studies."
The new work looked at 933 women with colon cancer, whose average age was just over 70. The researchers then found a comparison group of women without the disease, who matched the first group in age, ethnicity and clinics where they received treatment.
Earlier studies have found that women taking bisphosphonates have a lower risk of breast cancer. But it was unclear if that effect could be chalked up to the drugs, because the condition they are meant to treat -- bone thinning, or osteoporosis -- is tied to low estrogen levels, which also cuts breast cancer risk.
Colon cancer, on the other hand, has not been linked to estrogen, said Dr. Gad Rennert of the Carmel Medical Center in Haifa, whose findings are published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.
His team found that women who had been taking bisphosphonates -- mainly the drug alendronate (Fosamax), which costs around $10 per month in the U.S. -- for at least a year had a considerably lower risk of developing colon cancer later on.
Even after considering other factors tied to the disease -- like aspirin or statin use and eating lots of vegetables -- their risk was 59 percent lower than that of women who hadn't taken the drugs.
According to the American Cancer Society, one in 19 men develops colorectal cancer at some point, and slightly fewer women do. The disease is the third leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S.
Rennert said in an e-mail that alendronate is used by millions of women across the globe and has few side effects. The long-term effects are less well-known, however, and in rare cases it can cause bone death of the jaw, which would be important if healthy people were to take it.
Also, not all patients asked to participate in the study agreed, which could limit the results further.
Jacobs of the American Cancer Society added that one earlier study from the UK had found no link between bisphosphonate and colon cancer. Indeed, it found a higher risk of throat cancer in patients on the medication.
"Based on current evidence, bisphosphonates should not be used for prevention of colorectal cancer," Jacobs said. "Fortunately, there are proven ways to help prevent colorectal cancer. In particular, all Americans, 50 or older, should get a screening test so that precancerous polyps can be detected and removed before they turn into cancer."
