Stay tuned to the ESOP Report, www.esopassociation.org, and www.esopassociationblog.org for the latest information, especially the homepage "News" links to Advocacy Kits.
Present: The proposed Tax Reform Act of 2014 was released February 26, 2014 by Congressman Dave Camp (R-MI). ESOP Association President, J. Michael Keeling provided members with an update. It should be noted that the proposal did not lessen the tax laws promoting ESOPs.
On April 17, 2013, the "Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act of 2013," S.742, was introduced by Senator Ben Cardin (D-MD) and co-sponsored by a bi-partisan group of Senators including, Roy Blunt (R-MO), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Mary L. Landrieu (D-LA), Pat Roberts (R-KS), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and John Thune (R-SD). S. 742 would amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the Small Business Act to expand the availability of ESOPs in S corporations and expand opportunities for existing S ESOP corporations.
On February 13, 2013, Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) introduced S. 273, a bill to modify the definition of fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 to exclude appraisers of ESOPs. The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Roy Blunt (R-MO), Mary L. Landrieu (D-LA), and Mitch McConnell (R-KY). This bill is a response to the Department of Labor's proposed anti-ESOP regulation mandating all private ESOP company appraisers be ERISA fiduciaries.
On May 17, 2013, Congressmen Brett S. Guthrie (R-KY), David Loebsack (D-IA), and Congresswoman Lynn Jenkins (R-KS) introduced H.R. 2041. H.R. 2041 is the companion bill to S. 273 introduced by Senator Kelly Ayotte in February 2013.
2011: On March 29, 2011, H.R. 1244, the "Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act of 2011," was introduced by a bi-partisan group of key members of the House Ways and Means Committee: Congressmen David G. Reichert (R-WA), Ron Kind (D-WI), Charles W. Boustany, Jr. (R-LA), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Erik Paulsen (R-MN), and Bill Pascrell (D-NJ).
On September 7, 2011, S. 1512, the Senate companion bill to the "Promotion and Expansion of Private Employee Ownership Act of 2011," was introduced by a bi-partisan group of Senators: Senators Benjamin Cardin (D-MD), Pat Roberts (R-KS), and Olympia J. Snowe (R-ME).
The ESOP Association expresses strong support for both H.R. 1244 and S. 1512.
On June 21, 2011, Senator Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) introduced today S. 1232, a bill to modify the definition of fiduciary under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 to exclude appraisers of employee stock ownership plans. The bill is co-sponsored by Senators Olympia Snowe (R-ME), Susan Collins (R-ME), Scott Brown (R-MA), and Mary Landrieu (D-LA). This bill is a response to the Department of Labor's (DOL) proposed anti-ESOP regulation mandating all private ESOP company appraisers be ERISA fiduciaries.
Since late October 2010, The ESOP Association, and the ESOP community, has protested vigorously against the DOL proposed regulation to make all appraisers of private ESOP company stock ERISA fiduciaries.
On September 19, 2011, the DOL issued a press release announcing it would issue a new version of the regulation revising the definition of ERISA fiduciaries in January 2012, and begin the comment period, in essence, all over again.
The ESOP Association will keep you posted on this regulatory proposal, and other efforts to stop the DOL from mandating that appraisers of private ESOP company stock be ERISA fiduciaries.
2006: The ESOP Association, in coalition with other major employee benefit groups play a major role in Congress' enacting law to make permanent many provisions of EGTRRA that benefit sponsors of defined contribution plans, such as ESOPs.
2005: Congress enacts an expansion of how S Corp ESOPs can use distributions from current profits to the ESOP by permitting the ESOP to use the cash to pay the ESOP debt.
2001: The ESOP Association, working through a nationwide grassroots program, stopped efforts to limit the tax benefits of S corporations sponsoring ESOPs. Congress approved an initiative by the Association to expand the tax deduction paid on ESOP stock. Various pro- ESOP proposals became law upon congressional adoption and the President's signature of the popular ERISA reform legislation, known as H.R. 10, Portman-Cardin, which is included in the New Tax Law. In this work, 80% of the House and Senate members of key tax committees took openly pro-ESOP positions.
1997: Leading the lobbying effort, The ESOP Association persuades Congress and the Administration to perfect the 1996 Subchapter S ESOP Law, so that beginning in 1998; it will be advantageous for Subchapter S Corporations to sponsor employee ownership through an ESOP. The same legislation (the Taxpayers Relief Act of 1997) also permits a tax-deductible transfer of certain stock from a charitable remainder trust to an ESOP.
1996: The ESOP Association lobbies for new law to permit Subchapter S corporations to sponsor ESOPs and succeeds in the Small Business Job Protection Act.
1989: During work on the 1989 deficit reduction bill, several proposals are made to repeal the tax incentive that permits the deduction of dividends paid on the ESOP stock. The ESOP Association lobbies to preserve the deductibility of dividends, and the provision is maintained.
1986: The ESOP Association lobbies for perfecting legislation of the 1984 ESOP incentives. For example, The ESOP Association lobbied for the deductibility of dividends on ESOP stock paid to plan participants and the deductibility of dividends used to pay debt. The ESOP Association's positions are included in the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
1984: The ESOP Association lobbies for several major tax incentives for ESOPs – deductible dividends paid on ESOP stock; tax free rollover for gains on stock sold to an ESOP; interest income exclusion for 50% of income earned by ESOP lender; and assumption of estate tax by ESOP. All become part of the 1984 tax act (DEFRA).
1981: The ESOP Association lobbies for 25% of pay plus interest as a special level of deductible contributions to leveraged ESOPs. This pro-ESOP proposal becomes part of the 1981 tax law (ERTA).
Regulations: Regulatory arena victories are also impressive. For example, in the late '70s, The ESOP Association helped push positive leveraged ESOP regulations. Since then, The ESOP Association has successfully stopped each and every major regulatory proposal that would limit ESOP creation, including efforts by government regulators to limit ESOP benefits of companies with government contracts. Since 2000, The ESOP Association has developed positive relationships with the major agencies that regulate ESOPs to such a degree that no significant regulations having ESOPs have been issued.
All of these major ESOP tax incentives have provided tax savings of approximately $50 billion since 1984 for ESOP corporate sponsors.

Animal lovers help introduce furry friends back into wild
Fri, 01 Aug 2014 23:20:08 GMT —
Northern Michigan has a lot of wildlife surrounding it but sometimes accidents happen and animals can become injured or orphaned. Thatâ??s when wildlife rehabilitators come in.
Jyl Gaskin has been a wildlife rehabilitator for 20 years. She says she became passionate about saving animals after she successfully saved some baby rabbits when she was just seven years old.
â??Get up and feed, clean up poop, wash poop off of animals, wash poop off of me afterwardsâ?¦thereâ??s a lot of poop involved in this job,â?? giggled Gaskin.
And thatâ??s just the first half of her day as a wildlife rehabilitator.
Gaskin is licensed in Michigan and certified to take care of all kinds of animals.
â??Bobcats, mink, lot of raccoons over the years, squirrels, foxes, bunnies, baby birds,â?? said Gaskin.
Each year she gets around 60 different animals to take care of and release back into the wild where they came from.
â??I know I can't save them all but, you save what you can,â?? said Gaskin.
None of which she gets any sort of paycheck or funding from the state for. She says it costs her an average of between $3,000 and $5,000 each year.
â??We get nothing,â?? said Gaskin. â??We are responsible for all our own costs. There are some vets that will treat wildlife for free. That helps a lot.â??
Gaskin says that there are some larger wildlife groups that can get some state funding, but that itâ??s difficult to do.
â??A lot of people have been incredibly generous,â?? said Gaskin. â??They bring a bunny or something and they give me ten bucks for food. All of that adds up and all of that helps. But otherwise you just do what needs to be done. You get groceries, you pay bills, and you buy animal food.â??
The Department of Natural Resources says that Gaskin is one of less than 100 wildlife rehabilitators in the state.
DNR Wildlife Biologist, Steve Griffith says that the roll of a wildlife rehabilitator is essential when it comes to helping the DNR handle all of the injured and orphaned animals that the offices receive calls about on a daily basis.
â??I think the rehabilitators play a vital roll in mediating some of these human induced casualties,â?? said Griffith.
He says he wishes there were even more of these dedicated animal lovers out there.
â??You do it because you love it,â?? said Gaskin. â??It doesnâ??t matter what it costs.â??
Gaskin says sheâ??s always in need of gift certificates to feed stores, corn, and canned dog food to help take care of the animals.
If youâ??d like to donate or if you have an animal that you think needs help in the Grand Traverse County area, you can contact Gaskin at 231-267-5722.

During his studies he had to work at the radio station of the University, and later he began to work in television, having worked as operator, speaker, editor, audio engineering and even technical Director.
In 1977, Bumpass got the role in the musical Comedy show "That's Not Funny, That's Sick", which tours traveled across America.
The first work Vanessa on scoring became the animated series "the Jetsons."
In 1981, Roger appeared behind the scenes in a fantastic animated Thriller for adults "Heavy metal," voicing one of the main characters. In the cartoon, became in some measure the cult, sounded the music of the era of the birth of metal "Black Sabbath", "Cheap Trick", "Blue Oyster Cult", "Nazareth", "Sammy Hagar", "Journey".
Subsequently, the actor Roger Bumpass became famous as the actor voicing – his work at the microphone has today, many dozens of roles. Perhaps, the greatest popularity has gained him the Squidward character in the popular "spongebob Squarepants". Squidward – haughty, irritable, a bore, a squid, who cherishes his imaginary genius, doing nothing to achieve success.
So, despite the fact that Roger appeared on the screens and as an actor, his main work was behind the scenes, as an actor dubbing. In his huge list of works of such famous cartoons as "Batman", "Timon and Pumbaa", "angry beavers", "101 Dalmatians", "the bug" and many others.

Review: Elements - Berryoxidant
Posted: Aug 15, 2013 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Oct 18, 2013 at 2:11 PM)The Berryoxidant flavor of Suja Elements is a cold-pressed, high pressure processed (HPP) and USDA Organic smoothie that is a nice riff on the classic strawberry banana blend that is present in virtually every smoothie line that has ever existed. For starters, the fruit flavor is very smooth with blended apple, orange, strawberry, raspberry and tart cherry as the base of the product. While the benefits of HPP aren't as noticeable as they are in Suja's flagship line, the product definitely has a cleaner flavor than many of the established brands. In addition, the company has added chia and flax seeds (ground, it appears), baobab (a thickener), camu camu and acai to round out the mix. While the latter ingredients aren't likely to lure in most buyers, the chia and flax add some timely marketing punch. But ultimately, we think that the flavor, which is as good as you'll get short of making a fresh smoothie, is what will keep consumers coming back for more. On the outside, the 12 oz. plastic bottle features a label design that is a very functional addition to the Suja line. It uses Suja's logo in a more understated way than its flagship brand, and there's certainly no lack of descriptive text on the label. However, the quantity of text, which calls out USDA Organic, Non-GMO, CarbonFree certification, HPP and a charitable donation of $0.20 per bottle, makes it difficult to take everything in quickly. Some of the less important things (at least in the present market), such as CarbonFree certification, could be moved to the back, making more space for a callout to HPP. Regardless, the core of the product is very well-executed and it's definitely tops among the smoothie category. Overall, an excellent product and definitely the most mainstream of the Elements line.

Recently in Olympics Category
When it comes to sports, we have our differences. What's the best rivalry in sports? Who's better: Kobe or LeBron? What's the greatest individual accomplishment in baseball history? The list goes on... But if there's one thing most of us can agree on, it's that the Olympic Games are awesome. In the weeks leading up to London, SI.com is counting down the top 100 memorable U.S. Summer Olympic moments. Coming in at #89 is none other than Notre Dame's own, Mariel Zagunis, who made Olympic history in 2004 by defeating Chinese fencer Xue Tan to capture America's first fencing gold medal in 100 years. Check out the SI.com site for more on Zagunis' Olympic glory (When you visit the site, click each of the photos to learn more). You might as well go ahead and bookmark it now. SI will be releasing the remaining twenty moments, one per day, beginning on July 7 and continuing until the eve of the Games of the XXX Olympiad. - Josh Flynt ('11)
For 2009 graduate Mary Saxer (@SaxDefyGravity), dreams of representing the United States at the 2012 Summer Olympics came to a heartbreaking halt on Sunday in Eugene, Ore. Saxer tied Lacy Janson for third place with a top mark of 14 feet, 9 inches, but missed out on qualifying for London based on the tiebreaker rules. (Janson had fewer missed attempts in the event.) She is set as the team's alternate, so there is a small chance she could end up on the team, but more than likely, her hopes of wearing the red, white & blue on the sport's biggest stage will have to wait. Her next opportunity would be at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janiero, Brazil. Be sure to check out Sam Borden's piece in the New York Times, which features a few quotes from Mary. The article focuses on the challenges that pole vaulters face while traveling. ...as well as Fighting Irish Digital Media's recent video on the Lancaster, N.Y. native: - Josh Flynt ('11)
SI.com has been rolling out its 100 most memorable U.S. Summer Olympic moments while building anticipation for the upcoming 2012 Summer Olympics in London. Former Irish fencer Mariel Zagunis was featured at No. 89 on the list behind the efforts of the first of two gold medals won by sabre during her pair of appearances. Says SI.com ...
In 2004, Mariel Zagunis became the first American in 100 years to win Olympic fencing gold. Zagunis, the daughter of two former U.S. Olympians who didn't even originally qualify for the Games, defeated Chinese fencer Xue Tan in the finals 15-9 to capture gold.Zagunis will headline an entourage of several current and former Notre Dame student-athletes with their eyes set on medals at the 2012 edition of the Olympics. UND.com will be providing an in-depth and up-close look at the Irish Olympians past and present in the following days.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
what crutical appreciation of the love song of j. alfrrd prufrock?
this poem has been written by TS iliot.
this poem has been written by TS iliot.
Eliot would expand with "The Waste Land" and later works: vocal fragmentation and allusiveness, a precision of imagery borrowed from the 19th-century French Symbolists, a condemnation of the sterility of the modern world, and a dry, self-conscious wit.
The poem is very much a young man's work, though its speaker, through dramatic monologue, is a presumably middle-aged man. The farcical "J. Alfred Prufrock" name echoes Eliot's style at the time of signing his name "T. Stearns Eliot," and we can assume that Eliot shared at least some of Prufrock's anxieties over women, though he clearly satirizes Prufrock's neuroses (and, thus, his own) at points in the poem. However, this remains a dangerous assumption, as Eliot famously maintained in his essay "Tradition and the Individual Talent" that the "progress of an artist is a continual self-sacrifice, a continual extinction of personality.

Discussion in 'Adwords' started by extra00, Apr 30, 2012.
can we active adwords safe run with voucher or we must use vouche+vcc?
blank vcc or $5 vcc?
You might want to do some looking around, I've seen a lot of people saying they are getting banned.
This is just one thread there are more out there:
Voucher + $5 payment
That depends on your country, if you're from the U.S all you need is the voucher.
And as for your Adwords account getting banned, you can always open a new one
I had all of my accounts banned at the same time. I feel the only thing they had in common was the coupon source. I also used fake phone numbers. Some of the ads were runnin but. Near end. Do you think google followed up with a phone call. I am in USA
different accounts
It depends on countries, the activation may cost differently. In any case it is better to activate $5-10 vcc, then the less likely that your account will be banned.

The influence of free software ideals in the community peaked with the consultation for the writing of the third version of the GNU General Public License in 2005-2007. However, the consultation failed to win a consensus, and free software advocacy has declined in influence over the last five years.
In response, the Free Software Foundation (FSF) has rallied its supporters over the last few years. It held an annual conference and organized GNU Generation, a group to encourage young adults to become involved with free software advocacy.
But while these efforts have produced a small circle of dedicated and enthusiastic advocates, the FOSS community as a whole is currently tilting towards the more pragmatic, more business-friendly open source perspective.
However, what was significant about the free software position in 2012 was that it produced no significant story. Not too many years ago, that would have been unimaginable.
Feminist voices have been heard in FOSS for years. However, 2012 was the year in which it became influential for the first time.
True, misogyny is still expressed and defended on Reddit and Slashdot. But if the same sentiments are uttered by corporation or community leaders, they are being answered with anger -- often, thanks to social media, within minutes of the remarks.
Just as importantly, women started to get organized to teach other women how to code and to survive in the community. By far the most successful of these efforts is GNOME's Outreach Program for Women, whose mentoring-for-success techniques have become so effective that the program is now being extended to other FOSS projects.
Other feminist resources include the Geek Feminist Wiki, which has assembled a thorough collection of information about all aspects of its subject. A variety of blogs suggest how and why to find more female speakers at conferences. The Ada Initiative, a full-time feminist advocacy group, continues to promote anti-harassment policies at conferences, although it sometimes handicaps its own effectiveness through rash actions and statements.
(Disclaimer: I served briefly on the advisory board of The Ada Initiative. I resigned in November 2011.)
Probably no one organization or person is responsible for these signs of progress -- but that is the nature of grassroot efforts. Slowly, with some parts kicking and screaming, the FOSS community is becoming more welcoming to women. The changes visible over the last year are likely to become stronger in the next few years.
Both FOSS and the ARM architecture have played a major role in embedded devices for years. However, in 2012, this interaction took an unexpected direction with the release of Raspberry Pi, an ARM-based, GNU/Linux-loaded computer the size of a credit card available for under $50.
The FOSS community has ties to the Maker subculture, and many members still recall the attempts by One Laptop Per Child to develop an inexpensive computer a few years ago. However, nothing is comparable to the popularity of the Raspberry Pi. Almost overnight, sub-communities and websites sprung up, all full of suggestions and plans for how to use these machines.
Like Android before it, the Raspberry Pi may become an offshoot of Linux that becomes more popular and better known that its parent. Part of its popularity may be due to initial restrictions upon the number that could be purchased at one time, but with that restriction lifted, the interest shows few signs of slowing, and is likely to continue throughout 2013 and beyond.

The question which forms the main issue of the book of Daniel can be framed (and dealt with) in much the same way;
"What happens when the will of God meets the will of a ruler who thinks he's God?"
The classic model of this kind of encounter, in Jewish history, was the reign of the king who called himself THEOS EPIPHANES- "the visible god".
So the last chapters of Daniel are clearly pointing towards the infamous Antiochus Epiphanes, and looking beyond him to another ruler cut from the same cloth.

From Thorneside, Queensland, Australia:
My mother noticed that my two-year-old was drinking a lot and sleeping more than she should be on a number of occasions. She told me to get her checked since my husband's mother has type 1 diabetes. When I asked my general practitioner, they did a finger prick test that was 10.7 mmol/L [193 mg/dl] so he ordered a fasting pathology test. The morning I was to ring up for the results, I found it very difficult to keep my daughter awake. I took her to the chemist near my house where I purchased I glucose monitor. We tested her then and the reading was 2.4 mmol/L [43 mg/dl]. I had to force a jelly bean into her mouth and she would not allow me to put any others in. We re-tested her 10 minutes later and the reading was 2.2 mmol/L [40 mg/dl]. We then tried a chocolate frog that she was happy to take. We then took into the doctor's next door where he got the pathology results that were 3.8 mmol/L [68 mg/dl]. By this time, she was starting to become normal again. If she does not have diabetes, can her sugar levels go up and down this way? Should I take her to see a specialist?
These values are distinctly abnormal. This could be an early presentation of diabetes where the pancreas in its inflamed state is "mis-firing," sometimes, too much and sometimes, too little insulin. In any case, you should consult with an experienced pediatric diabetologist and should continue to do frequent blood glucose readings for the next few days to determine what are the ups and downs of the blood glucose readings. I would usually recommend a profile as follows: a blood glucose check pre-breakfast plus one to two hours post-breakfast; pre-lunch and one to two hours post-lunch; and pre-dinner and one to two hours post-dinner. This information will help the diabetes folks determine the next step. Other tests to consider would be general chemistry panel, islet cell and GAD-65 antibodies, etc.

From 2018 we are expecting to have a reduction in the number of bags that are mishandled, due to the introduction of industry wide baggage tracking through IATA Resolution 753. There has been a lot of activity in the community around Resolution 753. As a reminder, it says that an airline must track a bag onto the aircraft, into arrivals or into transfers. Furthermore, this tracking information must be shared with the next airport in the journey. This capability is required to be in place by June 2018. The resolution has been published since 2013 when it was unanimously agreed upon by all IATA members at the Joint Passenger Services Resolutions Conference.
What does compliance mean? Many companies who produce airport tools claim to be 753 compliant, however there is no 753 self-certification. The voluntary certification process is that an airline or an airport can request IATA to review their procedures, and subject to compliance with any report observations, IATA will issue with a certificate that is valid for 1 year. We do not certify the tools used, as compliance with 753 is all about how baggage processes are monitored. Of course, with customer permission suppliers can list their compliant installations.
The IATA Baggage Tracking sub-Group group has worked hard to develop the Resolution 753 Implementation Guide, and also to incorporate a make a minor update to the resolution itself by introducing an additional tracking point. The updated resolution is available in the 2017 Passenger Conference Resolutions Manual.
Resolution 753 applies to airlines only, but the implementation can also be an airport issue. It would be inefficient to have every airline at a busy airport each introducing their own tracking solutions, when the places where tracking is being undertaken are often common to all the airlines, such as the reclaim belt or transfer inject.
The implementation guide is freely available to the industry, having been approved by the Airport Services Committee. It includes sections on what 753 is and what it means, how different types of operation can collect this data and how it should be shared. The sharing component of resolution 753 is likely to have the largest impact on the industry, as it improves the information available to each stakeholder in the baggage journey, allowing them to be more efficient in their operations. Data can be shared using the existing standard messages defined in IARTA RP1745 or the newly approved XML Baggage Message Schema.
To be 753-ready, 753 requires a lot of work but the effort is critical to the industry's continued efforts to address mishandling and improve customer satisfaction. If you need assistance or advice in preparing for the June 2018 implementation deadline, please feel free to contact IATA at: email@example.com

Findings could lead to new types of therapeutic RNAs for cancer, genetic diseases
(Philadelphia, PA) – Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine have published the first study to test the role of RNA chemical modifications on immunity. They have demonstrated that RNA from bacteria stimulates immune cells to orchestrate destruction of invading pathogens. Most RNA from human cells is recognized as being self and does not stimulate an immune response to the same extent as invading bacteria or viruses. The researchers hypothesize that if this self-recognition fails, then autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus could result.
The research was a collaborative work led by Drew Weissman, MD, PhD, of the Division of Infectious Diseases and Katalin Karikó, PhD, of the Department of Neurosurgery. The investigators published their findings in the August issue of Immunity. "We think this study will open a new area of research in understanding how our immune systems protect us," says Weissman.
"One application of our findings is that scientists will be able to design better therapeutic RNAs, including anti-sense or small-interfering RNAs, for treating diseases such as cancer and single-gene genetic diseases," says Karikó.
RNA is the genetic material that programs cells to make proteins from DNA's blueprint and specifies which proteins should be made. There are many types of RNA in the cells of mammals, such as transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, and all of them have specific types of chemical tags, or modifications. In contrast, RNAs from bacteria have fewer or no modifications.
Another type of RNA in mammalian cells is found in mitochondria, the powerhouses of cells. Mitochondrial RNA is thought to have originated from bacteria millions of years ago. Similar to RNA from bacteria, mitochondrial RNA has fewer chemical tags. It is the absence of modifications that causes RNA from bacteria and mitochondria to activate the immune response. The researchers suggest that these modifications have evolved in animals as one of the ways for the innate immune system to discriminate self from non-self.
When a tissue is damaged by injury, infection, or inflammation, cells release their mitochondrial RNA. This RNA acts as a signal to the immune system to recognize the damage and help defend and repair the tissue.
Conversely, the presence of the modifications on the other types of RNA does not activate an immune response and thus allows the innate immune system to discriminate self from non-self. "We showed that special proteins on the surface of immune cells, called Toll-like receptors, are instrumental in recognizing bacterial and mitochondrial RNA," explains Weissman. The amount of modification on the RNA is important because as little as one or two tags per RNA molecule could prevent or suppress the immune reaction.
The authors concluded that the potential of RNA to activate immunity seems to be inversely correlated with the extent of its chemical modification and may explain why some viral RNA that is overly modified evades immune surveillance. The authors plan to investigate whether longer RNAs with specific tags will be useful for delivering therapeutic molecules to diseased cells.
This study was funded by the National Institutes of Health. Co-authors are Michael Buckstein and Houping Ni, both from Penn.
This release can also be found at: www.uphs.upenn.edu/news.

Despite my best efforts, it would appear that the adage "A pictures is worth a thousand words" doesn't apply to biographies. Perhaps the failure of photos as my biography is that there are very few to be found; after all, I'm usually the one with a camera in hand.
This is not entirely surprising, as I've been practically inseparable from some type of camera - starting with an old, fully-manual film SLR way back in high school to my current top-of-the-line overly-complicated 2.5lb digital beasts - for nearly 14 years.
I started out shooting for the school yearbook, progressed to photojournalism for the local newspaper, moved to the East Coast and freelanced for various media and then moved to the West Coast where I started my own photography business (this one!), three years later moving back inland and settling in Canmore at the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Nestled between majestic peaks, Canmore is a mountain-sports haven and since moving here I've launched fully into my other passion - climbing. I first started climbing way back in 2000, but didn't get truly hooked until four years later, when I spent every spare second climbing in the gym or bouldering along Nova Scotia's granite coastline.
With the Rockies as my backyard, my focus has shifted to winter and alpine climbing, when even in the height of summer I can retreat to a world of snow and ice.
Back down at home in the Bow Valley, I focus on event photography, specializing in photojournalism-inspired documentary coverage of weddings and conferences.

The recent editorials of Victoria Beckham continue to show the softer side of the woman formerly known as Pouting Posh Spice.
This picture is from the Spring 2010 edition of 'Love Magazine', which hits stores on Monday.
The fashion designer continues to prove that she's the best advert for her brand by wearing a bandeau and pantie bearing web-like LBD dress from her own Spring 2010 collection.
In the magazine she's interviewed by designer friend Giles Deacon. Here are some extracts from their interview:
On talk of her creating a menswear line: "I think Tom Ford is doing an incredible job…but it's not like I can't wait to do a men's line. I love women. I'm a real girl's girl."
On reading the reviews of her collection: "It was an out-of-body experience."
On her time talking to Giles about fashion: "I'm just happy to have someone who wants to talk to me [about this]. Normally, David's like, 'Stop it, I don't want to talk about clothes anymore! I want to talk about motorbikes and tattoos."
The Love "Fashion Icons" issue features eight different covers including Kate Moss, Natalia Vodianova and Lara Stone.
The ladies are naked on the cover with strategically placed grey stripes to cover their modesty. You can view the covers on Fashion Gone Rouge.

the best/worst part of this was his claim that if he hadn't tasered her, she could have run out into traffic and been seriously hurt, ignoring the fact that she was in an empty parking lot.
blue vein steel
no matter how much she ran, she would have always been in an empty parking lot?
blue vein steel
yes, the cop is a fat turd, but crazy people running into traffic is a real concern.
look at the distance from the door to the road
then look at how far she ran before he immediately resorted to a device known to have unpredictable effects
blue vein steel
there could very well have been another road to the left of the camera. like i said, he should have tried to catch her and not gone for the taser, but this isn't murder.
I don't think it's murder either!
But is the cop's possible negligence (and please note that the same cop was responsible for the girl's ineffective cuffing in front and leaving her unsupervised at the substation) the grounds for a wrongful death civil suit? The parents of the victim seem to think so, and the lack of definite case law means this could be interesting!
I think that's is a good reason for police tasering me every time I think about j-walking.
The update to the story is that she is now braindead with no chance of recovery. That was for a hit-and-run that they already connected her to. The issue there was about control. So the police use whatever means are necessary to reassert their dominance. You can never actually defend yourself from a police officer without expecting a significant time in prison. And people are regularly killed by police.
Believe it or not we live in a time where the police are renegotiating their position in our lives. Each and every police story is part of a larger narrative. The question is, do we have a role in this narrative, or are we to give the police total agency?
I am generally against the function of the police. I think that they are an illegitimate force. I am not a libertarian.
I can't get the video to play.
Just as well. I don't feel like being pissed off today.
Dread Pirate Roberts
Article about it: http://tinyurl.com/79dwm27
She apparently went unconscious and is determined to be brain dead as a result of hitting her head on the asphalt. Very sad. I don't see why the cop needed to do that. He could've just reached out and grabbed her. She definitely wasn't innocent though, and was high on cocaine and oxycodone.
I'm also not rating this. It's too morbid, and not necessarily evil. It's just a sad set of mistakes.
Robin Kestrel
I don't see anyone saying she was innocent. That's the bar in America now? The cops kill somebody and as long as the victim was guilty of something, we shouldn't get all worked up about it?
This is a dumb headline. She was running away after being arrested in connection to a hit and run, so the cop had to chase her down. Maybe he should have tackled her instead because the chance of injury to her would be reduced in that case, but he made a decision under pressure and I can't say it was the wrong one simply because its consequence was so unfortunate. It's fucking stupid to say the cop murdered her because there is no reason to think he intended her death.
Seriously. Even if he had tackled her, she still could have hit her head on the ground. From that headline, I thought someone was going to pull a gun. Unfortunate accident that was not the result of gross negligence ≠ murder.
She was already handcuffed, but he doesn't look like the kind of guy who moves his limbs more than he needs to.
Florida Highway Patrol policy allows for the use of tasers if a suspect is actively resisting with the intent to flee. Which she was. This is why he was cleared of any wrong-doing after two separate hearings. I don't think that he intended to kill her either, he was just following policy.
However, the policy is fucking stupid, and it killed this girl. There is no way around that. Tasing a handcuffed person while they're standing/running on asphalt is apparently not unlike hitting them with a car. The risk of exactly this sort of head injury seems way too high to me to be justified in this situation.
Admittedly, I'm just some guy at a desk somewhere. On the other hand, the girl fucking DIED. So I'm still going to go with "the policy is fucking stupid."
Agreed, this incidence only really serves as an exposition that some sort of policy is wrong. Granted I'm sure it is something that could be internally dealt with, and will be by the police force itself.
That being said, there is no point in having this video here as the police officer really isn't at fault and the problem is correctable bureaucratically.
yeah, way to drama it up, this isn't TMZ or something
Florida Fat Force in action.
she was sprinting away from a police station after being arrested, whether the cop used a taser or his good ol' fashioned body to take her down, this was a risk factor of a situation she was making for herself.
If tasing her and tackling her to the ground are two options that could easily have resulted in this girl's death, maybe NOT DOING EITHER OF THOSE THINGS would have been the best solution.
Running from the cops while you're handcuffed and probably drugged up sure isn't the best decision in the world, and it definitely puts you at risk for all sorts of nasty consequences, but that doesn't mean we should just accept any action the police take in response. There are degrees of risk, and they need to be weighed against the importance, and the difficulty of catching a feeling 100 lb suspect who is handcuffed and probably drugged up.
If he doesn't taser her or bodily restrain her then what does he do? Run after her until she gets tired? Let her go? I think it's reasonable to empower the police to recapture a fleeing suspect, especially when she is wanted in connection to a serious crime.
Hey, I'm all for recapturing a fleeing suspect. What I'd like is a discussion of how much risk is worth it. It's ridiculous to try to frame this as a false dichotomy between "just don't shoot her" and "just let her go".
it's gonna take some kind of force to stop her, sorry. That's what it takes to stop a crazy person high on heroin and speed fleeing an arrest.
"Some kind of force" does not mean "use any force ya like, regardless of the risk". Again, this should not be a black-and-white choice between no force and lethal force. We can be and need to be better than that.
suggestions? I mean, besides the theoretical net gun.
I don't know, maybe instituting some sort of national policy on stun gun usage rather than letting every police department write their own rules?
Oh, and holding highway patrol officers to some sort of minimum fitness standard so they could actually catch teenage girls in handcuffs two feet away from them. That could possibly help too.
I don't have any suggestions. I don't know enough about the situation or the location to know what else could reasonably have been done. I can't see where she was running, I don't know what state she was in, or what other dangers she may or may not have posed to herself or others.
All I can tell is that what happened rather predictably killed her, and I don't think it's acceptable to just shrug our collective shoulders and say "hey shit happens".
Eroticus E
She should have been faster. He's pretty fat.
blue vein steel
Dont think this is murder. If the cop wasnt a fat sack of shit maybe he could have chased her down, but the woman was clearly out of her mind and could have run into traffic.
the traffic? You mean the street that is like 30 feet away from the door?
yes truly that is a valid reason
blue vein steel
i mean, it probably takes about 2 seconds for a running person to cover 30 feet. The cop should have chased her instead of reflexively going for the taser, but a person high or what ever would cause a handcuffed person to run out of a police station would probably also keep that person from looking both ways as they ran through the street.
The only way officer McFatty is going to catch her is to go into Eat Attack Mode, either way she's dead.
American Standard
Can we reserve the hyperbolic attempts to evoke outrage for genuine abuses of power, please?
Seriously. This sucked, and I don't object to it being recorded and publicized, but you can only bang the SHIT PIG MURDERS INNOCENT PERSON drum so often before everyone's emotions callus over and we stop paying attention.
It takes some serious anti-cop bias to see a murder in this video.
Save headlines like this for an objective case of unnecessary force.
My reason is anti-taser bias.
In my hometown of Berkeley CA, we banned tasers. Then there was a sad instance of a woman with a knife who had gone crazy for one reason or another. She was on a porch and somebody starting coming out of the house and she abruptly turned to face them with a raised knife. They shot her, they had to, and she died. That's what we need tasers for. I agree they are overused, but they have a place.
Look, everyone, dead person. Oh, looky, white Internet nerds who don't care because SNARK!
American Standard
A rating, just for memedumpster.
Timothy A. Bear
A morbidly obese cop like this is basically disabled so no shit he does the easiest thing for him that the law allows.
Sure, he was cleared of murder, but what about "fucking murder"?
blue vein steel
the title should have been "OINK OINK SHIT COMMITS MOTHERFUCKING POGROM AGAINST PURE INNOCENT SNOWFLAKE AND VERBALLY URINATES ALL OVER HER TWITCHING BODY"
Capital letters are too mainstream for CJH.
BVS, you made-a me laugh.
Agree, this is not "murder".
Perhaps if cops actually had to stay in shape this guy wouldn't be such a fatass and he maybe could have pursued her without being out of breath after two steps and resorting to something with more range than his fat arms. Fuck giving people authority that can't even take care of themselves (I understand that obesity is often out of one's control, but those people shouldn't be officers in the first place, so I assume this person has no self control and let himself go).
"No prolonged nudity, sex, or death videos."
This site has plenty of vids with "art" boobs.
Likewise, there is a vid with man on donkey action & 'vacuum vagina' has some earnest humping.
Death vids? Tommy Cooper & Muamaar Quadaffi prove otherwise.
I don't want police brutality to be hidden away. I want it exposed. I can deal with reality. Can you?
poeTV loves dumb fascist pigfuckers, five.
Yes, we all know that the one thing poetv is known for is its conservative, pro-police, pro-authority community.
Hay Belly
This is not Facebook; slacktivism is retarted CJH. Did you post this on your Facebook too? I'll bet you did.
yeah man, retarted!
Jesus so many fat people in this video.
Forget physical fitness, he could have caught her if he just hadn't slowed down to draw and aim his taser.
not murder
a tragic accident, exacerbated by the officer's callous attitude to her injuries
tasers can be dangerous, and are overused, but better than the alternative
Robin Kestrel
So the alternative would have been shooting her in the back with his service revolver? That would have been his next go-to solution if the taser hadn't been available, and you'd be okay with that?
Here's a thought: he could have handcuffed her to something in the station house, rather than just cuffing her hands in front of her. Or he could have locked her in a cell or a room while he did his paperwork or whatever. Nobody runs away, nobody needs to die.
calm down
yes, the alternative to tasers are revolvers, or perhaps atlatls, which do not seem practical, although in this case perhaps the officer could have secured her better or caught her without the taser, but we really don't know that and never will
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the police officer did not want this woman to die, and if he realized that she had seriously injured herself, he would have gotten her immediate medical attention
also, the world can be a complicated place, and all sorts of good and bad things go into exercises of authority, some of which we can never know
most importantly, arguing on the internet is a complete boring waste of time, in every case ever, and every person who enjoys it is wrong and always will be
Robin Kestrel
As long as there is no national policy on taser use, individual departments are free to set their own rules. Any department policy that makes taser use any different from discharging your weapon invites abuse and misuse, whatever the stated intentions of the officer. I don't feel a need to argue that as it is self-evident.
Not sure why this was voted out of the hopper, the title is misleading and stupidly sensational. Interesting story but the submission sucks. CJH knock that kneejerk TMZ shit off.
The woman appears alive in this entire video. And the sensationalism in the title stinks.
She went into a coma and didn't come out.
I have opinions. Loudly expressed.
I disagree strongly. You are a terrible person.
Why do people that disagree with me have rights?!
Syd Midnight
Apparently [something about Obama]... but [something about Hitler]. Is [everyone else here is stupid], or [everyone who disagrees with me is evil]?
WAKE UP PEOPLE! [reference to The Matrix]. [I am completely sane]!
[something about Ron Paul]
(MUST WATCH: [link to PrisonPlanet.com])
Phew, thank God she wasn't black, now I know I can side with the cop!
Five stars for the completely inappropriate advertisements. Now, I will forever associate YouFit Gym with involuntary manslaughter.
MC Scared of Bees
This sure is an argument we got here.
I guess that's one way of putting it.
This clip sure brought out the super-edgy kids for the comments section. Did I read someone say they are against the function of police? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds to reasonable adults?
The only thing evil about this is the comments and the title. The girl's death was an unfortunate tragedy, far removed from murder. I know how rebellious it makes a young person feel to "stick it to the man", but the title of this video is absolutely rediculous.
Tasers save lives, and so do the police officers that wield them.
Aren't you the practical one. I am against the function of police because it is largely oppressive and has little to do with my day to day safety. Generally, police aren't actually preventing crime in a manner that anyone else couldn't - they're not superheroes and their function is largely bureaucratic.
If you can't engage with the idea that some people disagree with how police are used (which is interesting when the police are supposedly serving the public's interest), then I'm sorry. I think it's funny that you quickly create the opposition between "super-edgy kids" and "reasonable adults" to justify your own position. Talk to a lot of reasonable adults, and I might include myself in that largely meaningless category (although I wish I were still a super-edgy kid), and they would agree that the police's presence in our everyday lives has increased to an absurd level. I am against that.
Your 'position' is naive at best, your description of 'police function' is incorrect, and I still don't believe you're more than 15 years old.
are you sure you didn't mean "15 years old?"
i just don't think there were nearly enough scare quotes in that sentence for me to recognize it as a valid argument, sorry
Caminante Nocturno
I think support should delete this.
Monkey Napoleon
seconded. It's not pretty, but it's not murder. It's also explicitly against post guidelines, so, there's that too.
Robin Kestrel
I disagree. The woman is very much alive in the footage filmed.
I do think the title & description could stand to be edited, though (something factual like "Handcuffed woman tasered, falls and hits head" with a description of "She went into a coma & is now brain-dead; FHP investigation clears officer of wrongdoing"). Tags should also include Danielle Maudsley and Florida so when the video link inevitably becomes broken, people will know which civilian the cops shocked and inadvertently killed THIS time because it was easier than doing their goddamn jobs. Because, sadly, there are just so many of them these days.
Jet Bin Fever
I'm gone for half a day and look what happens.

A Lasting Connection 01.13.14
When I responded to the SPACES invitation to collaborate with visiting Berlin artists Yuka Oyama and Axel Ruoff on their installations, all I knew was that I definitely fulfilled the requirement of having a "special relationship with a particular object." Moon shelves (crescent-shaped knickknack shelves) are not known in Berlin, but many Clevelanders remember them from childhood. First I just loved them as handmade variations of a favorite image, the moon; and then, discovering they were called "Stairway to Heaven," they acquired spiritual meaning. Axel and Yuka were intrigued with these moon shelves, and went on to discover other collections as well that inspired them. Their idea, they told me, was that they would share their ideas and imagination with the community and "then see what will happen"...
After interviewing me at length about my relationship to the moon shelves, Yuka created a mirrored moon mask in which I was photographed by Becky Yee in my home surrounded by my collection. Yuka's installation includes photos by Yee of several collectors in masks, as well as information from Yuka's interviews and a display of the quite large original masks.
Axel made paintings and videos, inspired by discussions he and I had about the symbolism of the stairs and moon, and also inspired by the story of a man disfigured in a historic Cleveland fire, who became for Axel a mythic "man without a face" or without a "self". His video, "How do I get to Moonshelf City?," appears at first to be a real interview, but instead reveals itself to be a fantasy. The faceless man, offscreen, consults me on how to use a moonshelf--a magic object--to find a face.
Mystery, fantasy, psychological study, even humor (are those really football players running up the moonshelf stairs?)--I was so glad I said "yes" to this imaginative adventure. The exhibit closes this Friday, January 17.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
A Jasper County man turned a first-time visit into a $1,086,953.72 jackpot at Delta Downs Racetrack Casino & Hotel, a horseracing and gaming entertainment venue in Vinton, Louisiana.
Veteran thoroughbred jockey Gerard Melancon is in elite company. The 48-year-old native of Rayne, Louisiana, is currently the 48th winningest jockey of all time with 4,422 victories.
Beaumont MMA fighter to compete for world title
Professional MMA fighter Ryan "Superman" Spann of Beaumont will fight for the Legacy middleweight title on Friday, Nov. 13, at the Golden Nugget in Lake Charles, Louisiana.
It's just a few days into the 2015-16 thoroughbred season at Delta Downs in Vinton, La., and the track will host two important stakes races this weekend, $200,000 Jean Lafitte and the $100,000 My Trusty Cat.
Known as the "fastest athletes on dirt," thoroughbred horses will return to race at nearby Delta Downs Racetrack & Hotel on Friday, Oct. 16. The 2015-16 season runs through March 12, 2016, and features 86 racing dates with 32 stakes races whose purses total more than $4.6 million.
Racing days are Wednesday-Saturday with a start time of 5:40 p.m. As always, there's no cost for admission, fans never pay for parking, and the horse track is kid friendly.
Multiple stakes winning sprinter Heitai was upset July 25 at Evangeline Downs by Quick Dagger in the $75,000 Turf Express.
The 46-day quarter horse season ended July 11 at Delta Downs in nearby Vinton, Louisiana, and the leading jockey, trainer and owner were honored.
With his fourth consecutive riding title in hand weeks ago, 51-year-old jockey John "Hambone" Hamilton won 69 races in 328 mounts for earnings of $1,206,044.
Bridge City native Jason Richards and his business partner Mike Leblanc can now proclaim that they own the top 2-year-old quarter horse in the entire state of Louisiana.
