The Development of Semicircular Canals in the Inner Ear: Role of FGFs in Sensory Cristae Development (Cambridge, England). Sep, 2004 | Pubmed ID: 15280215 In the vertebrate inner ear, the ability to detect angular head movements lies in the three semicircular canals and their sensory tissues, the cristae. The molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of the three canals are largely unknown. Malformations of this vestibular apparatus found in zebrafish and mice usually involve both canals and cristae. Although there are examples of mutants with only defective canals, few mutants have normal canals without some prior sensory tissue specification, suggesting that the sensory tissues, cristae, might induce the formation of their non-sensory components, the semicircular canals. We fate-mapped the vertical canal pouch in chicken that gives rise to the anterior and posterior canals, using a fluorescent, lipophilic dye (DiI), and identified a canal genesis zone adjacent to each prospective crista that corresponds to the Bone morphogenetic protein 2 (Bmp2)-positive domain in the canal pouch. Using retroviruses or beads to increase Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) for gain-of-function and beads soaked with the FGF inhibitor SU5402 for loss-of-function experiments, we show that FGFs in the crista promote canal development by upregulating Bmp2. We postulate that FGFs in the cristae induce a canal genesis zone by inducing/upregulating Bmp2 expression. Ectopic FGF treatments convert some of the cells in the canal pouch from the prospective common crus to a canal-like fate. Thus, we provide the first molecular evidence whereby sensory organs direct the development of the associated non-sensory components, the semicircular canals, in vertebrate inner ears.
Scleraxis is Required for Differentiation of the Stapedius and Tensor Tympani Tendons of the Middle Ear Journal of the Association for Research in Otolaryngology : JARO. Aug, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21399989 Scleraxis (Scx) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor expressed in tendon and ligament progenitor cells and the differentiated cells within these connective tissues in the axial and appendicular skeleton. Unexpectedly, we found expression of the Scx transgenic reporter mouse, Scx-GFP, in interdental cells, sensory hair cells, and cochlear supporting cells at embryonic day 18.5 (E18.5). We evaluated Scx-null mice to gain insight into the function of Scx in the inner ear. Paradoxical hearing loss was detected in Scx-nulls, with ~50% of the mutants presenting elevated auditory thresholds. However, Scx-null mice have no obvious, gross alterations in cochlear morphology or cellular patterning. Moreover, we show that the elevated auditory thresholds correlate with middle ear infection. Laser interferometric measurement of sound-induced malleal movements in the infected Scx-nulls demonstrates increased impedance of the middle ear that accounts for the hearing loss observed. The vertebrate middle ear transmits vibrations of the tympanic membrane to the cochlea. The tensor tympani and stapedius muscles insert into the malleus and stapes via distinct tendons and mediate the middle ear muscle reflex that in part protects the inner ear from noise-induced damage. Nothing, however, is known about the development and function of these tendons. Scx is expressed in tendon progenitors at E14.5 and differentiated tenocytes of the stapedius and tensor tympani tendons at E16.5-18.5. Scx-nulls have dramatically shorter stapedius and tensor tympani tendons with altered extracellular matrix consistent with abnormal differentiation in which condensed tendon progenitors are inefficiently incorporated into the elongating tendons. Scx-GFP is the first transgenic reporter that identifies middle ear tendon lineages from the time of their formation through complete tendon maturation. Scx-null is the first genetically defined mouse model for abnormal middle ear tendon differentiation. Scx mouse models will facilitate studies of tendon and muscle formation and function in the middle ear.
Probing the Functional Equivalence of Otoferlin and Synaptotagmin 1 in Exocytosis The Journal of Neuroscience : the Official Journal of the Society for Neuroscience. Mar, 2011 | Pubmed ID: 21451027 Cochlear inner hair cells (IHCs) use Ca(2+)-dependent exocytosis of glutamate to signal sound information. Otoferlin (Otof), a C(2) domain protein essential for IHC exocytosis and hearing, may serve as a Ca(2+) sensor in vesicle fusion in IHCs that seem to lack the classical neuronal Ca(2+) sensors synaptotagmin 1 (Syt1) and Syt2. Support for the Ca(2+) sensor of fusion hypothesis for otoferlin function comes from biochemical experiments, but additional roles in late exocytosis upstream of fusion have been indicated by physiological studies. Here, we tested the functional equivalence of otoferlin and Syt1 in three neurosecretory model systems: auditory IHCs, adrenal chromaffin cells, and hippocampal neurons. Long-term and short-term ectopic expression of Syt1 in IHCs of Otof (-/-) mice by viral gene transfer in the embryonic inner ear and organotypic culture failed to rescue their Ca(2+) influx-triggered exocytosis. Conversely, virally mediated overexpression of otoferlin did not restore phasic exocytosis in Syt1-deficient chromaffin cells or neurons but enhanced asynchronous release in the latter. We further tested exocytosis in Otof (-/-) hippocampal neurons and in Syt1(-/-) IHCs but found no deficits in vesicle fusion. Expression analysis of different synaptotagmin isoforms indicated that Syt1 and Syt2 are absent from mature IHCs. Our data argue against a simple functional equivalence of the two C(2) domain proteins in exocytosis of IHC ribbon synapses, chromaffin cells, and hippocampal synapses.

I've been careful not to spoil anything for myself regarding the game, but I have seen a few screenshots. The cities look a lot more like cities, which is a nice additions. I've also seen a picture of a bridge in which looked significantly more modern than the bridges in past games. (Basically a few logs tied together crossing one mass of land with another...) I find this a very positive addition to the series, and probably would not have came to be if not for the graphical increase in Black/White.

Information for carers
A carer is someone who, supports (not as a profession) a relative, child, friend or neighbour who could not manage without their help, due to frailty, illness, disability, mental health, addiction.
We try and provide support for carers if you or the person you care for need to use the hospitals.
Do you care for someone who is in hospital? Or are you in hospital and have someone at home who you usually care for?
Julie Howson and Lucia Urquhart are hospital Carer Support Coordinators; they are available to offer support, information and advice to help you in your caring role. Not everyone chooses to become a carer and many carers don't see themselves as one. If you would like a chat or more information on what services are available, please contact Julie or Lucia, contact details below. They are based in the hospital three afternoons each week: Monday, Tuesday and Friday on The Daresbury ward Warrington.
If you are looking after someone who is not in hospital support is still available from WIRED Carers Centre or Halton Carers Centre, both centres support adult and young carers. Services include Emotional support, information, advice, signposting/referral service, counselling, financial advice, quarterly newsletters, training and therapies.
For more information contact:
Warrington Carers Centre – WIRED: 86 Sankey Street, Warrington, WA1 1SG Telephone: 01925 633492 or 07891 203 134
Halton Carers Centre: 62/64 Church Street, Runcorn, WA7 1LD Telephone: 01928 580182 or 07880 290 310
Who are carers?
Anyone can become a carer. Carers come from all walks of life, all cultures and can be of any age. If you are a carer, you probably feel that you are doing what anyone else would in the same situation; looking after your mother, son, or best friend and just getting on with it.
The position of carer is not one that many apply for. Yet anyone can find themselves unexpectedly in this position – more than three in five of us will at some point find ourselves in such a role. In fact there are around six million carers in the UK who provide unpaid care and support to ill, frail or disabled friends or family members. Many carers are hidden, including very young people who care for parents and siblings.
Carers of patients at the hospital
We appreciate that families, friends and neighbours have an important role in meeting the care needs of many patients, both before admission to hospital and following discharge. We want to promote the health and independence of carers, by involving them during the patient's stay in hospital, and planning his or her discharge home.
If you are a carer and have to come into hospital it is important that you make hospital staff aware of your caring responsibilities. They will explain where you can go to receive appropriate advice and support.
Carers of people with learning disabilities
The number of people with learning disabilities over the age of sixty is rising, and the numbers of these adults requiring health care for acute and chronic conditions will rise correspondingly.
The White Paper Valuing People: a new strategy for learning disability for the 21st Century (2001) identifies the need "to enable people with learning disabilities to have access to health services designed around their individual needs with fast and convenient care delivered to a consistently high standard and with additional support where necessary."
At Warrington and Halton Hospitals, we are committed to ensuring equal health care for people with learning disabilities. This includes ensuring that you, as a carer, have the information and support to enable you to participate in making the best decisions for the person you care for.
While the nursing team is competent to provide all care, there may be aspects of the delivery of this care that are difficult, such as anxiety, unfamiliarity, communication problems etc. The ward nurses will work closely with you, family members and friends - as well as the learning disabilities team - to plan and deliver the best care.
What can you do?
There are several things that we actively encourage carers to do:
If the person you care for is admitted to hospital, it is important that they bring a health passport (if they have one) and that you work with staff to identify the care needs of the patient
We actively encourage you to request updates from the ward team
Give us feedback as you will know the patient and their specific needs better
Ask for the names of the nurses who are looking after the person you care for so you have a point of contact
If, for any reason, you feel that your views are not being heard or involved you can ask to see the ward manager or the departmental matron. If you feel you need further support and advice you can contact our PALS team. You can read more about PALS here.
Strategies for relatives caring for someone with Dementia (START)
If you are caring for a family member or friend who has been diagnosed with dementia Halton Carers Centre we deliver an 8 week training course in our Runcorn office.
The course will look at some of the behaviours associated with dementia, the trigger or cause of these behaviours and strategies to help manage these behaviours.
Each session will last for 1 hour and the weekly sessions are as follows
Stress and Wellbeing
Reasons for behaviour
Making a behaviour plan
Behaviour strategies and unhelpful thoughts
Communication styles
Planning for the future
Introduction to pleasant events and your mood
Using your skills in the future
We will be running this course throughout the year with daytime, evening and weekend courses available.
Please contact the office on 01928 580182 if you would like to find out more about the course and to book your place.

Colquitt Electric Membership Corporation awarded six area teachers each with $1000 Bright Ideas education grants.
Out of 35 applicants, Sandi Parrish of Pine Grove Elementary School and Beth Baker of Pine Grove Middle School were among the winning teachers. On Friday, they were surprised in their classrooms and presented with a big check, courtesy of the "Bright Ideas Prize Team" – representatives from Colquitt EMC.
Teachers often have innovative ideas about how learning can be more exciting and interesting for their students but do not always have the resources to implement these projects. The purpose of the Bright Ideas education grant is to provide funding for those teachers to put their creative plans in action.
Earlier this year, the cooperative invited teachers to submit grant proposals up to $1,000 each for creative lesson plans. Ms. Parrish created a project exploring static electricity and electricity with weather. Ms. Baker created a project using bees and beekeeping as an educational tool.
Funding for the grants is made possible through Georgia legislation that allows unclaimed capital credits to be used for education in the communities served by EMC's. Colquitt EMC is a member-owned cooperative that provides electricity to over 43.000 members with 64,000 meters in Berrien, Brooks, Colquitt, Cook, Lowndes, Tift, and Worth Counties.

When I had mold my whole family was sick. There was so much conflicting information on the web. Finally, I called a mold inspector she said, "The first thing you have to do is lower or eliminate the mold spores and mold toxins in your environment. The fastest way to do it is to scrub the air". She told me about the AirSafti Air Scrubbing machine. It made sense so I ordered one. I got my unit in two days, unboxed it, plugged it in and within 15 min my whole family could feel the difference. It makes sense, if you scrub the air clean you're not breathing mold!
-J. Warble
I told my apartment complex there was mold in my unit. They did NOTHING! I had no real money to move as I am on fixed income. I looked all over the internet and found Biocide Labs. The man was very nice and told me about the AirSafti Air Scrubbing machine. So, I took a chance because I had no other real choices. It was the best decision I ever made. The machine keeps my apartment air clean and I don't feel the mold any more. I am still trying to move out, but right now this machine is saving my health.
-M. Streug
If you have mold and don't have the money to move out of where you're at or get mold remediation done, this Air Scrubber thing is the only way to go! What a difference, I felt the change in the air with minutes. I can already tell you this is also going to save me when allergy season comes.

A keen-eared department-store security guard heard a familiar name drop during a barroom conversation, then provided the tip that led to the arrest Tuesday of a man police say robbed the Jordan Marsh store at Town Center mall west of Boca Raton.
Palm Beach County Sheriff`s detectives followed up the tip by watching as two Jordan Marsh managers identified the suspect as he sat near a swimming pool bar at the Holiday Inn at Glades Road and Interstate 95, only a half-mile east of Town Center, police said.
After the arrest, detectives searched the suspect`s room and recovered all but about $1,000 from Saturday`s $11,000 robbery, Palm Beach County Sheriff`s spokesman Mike McNamee said.
McNamee said the case broke for detectives when the security guard, who works for Jordan Marsh, phoned detectives about a bar-side conversation Monday night at the Holiday Inn Boca Raton.
Speaking through a Jordan Marsh store manager, the guard declined to talk about the incident because he was concerned for his safety.
The guard`s ears pricked up when he overheard one man introduce himself to another bar patron as ``Rob Johnson,`` McNamee said.
McNamee said the guard remembered the smooth-talking, well-dressed robber had used the name ``Ron Johnson`` before sticking a gun in the back of a Jordan Marsh manager and forcing her to hand over $11,000 from the store`s safe.
``It clicked,`` McNamee said.
He said the guard talked to ``Johnson,`` and learned he was staying at that Holiday Inn. The guard then called detectives.

Access to the Library
The Plant Sciences Library is situated on the ground floor of the building. It is accessed either from Reception or from the Tennis Court Road lobby. The Library doors are opened by validated University card : Validation is done in the Department's Accounts Office on the first floor.
Staff, postgraduate students and Plant Sciences Part IIs have 24-hour 7-day-a-week access.
The University cards of Part 1Bs taking modules in the Department can be processed so that they can be used to enter the Library via the Tennis Court Road door from 8.00 am to 9.00 pm every day. If this is not done as part of a group at the beginning of the academic year, you can go to the Accounts Office on the first floor to have your card activated.
The layout of library stock is admittedly confusing, because space is limited. The Library is divided into Bays [1-8 downstairs and 9-15 upstairs]. The stock shelves meander round the Bays in an initially confusing manner, so…
All shelves have a label on them somewhere [usually at the top], which will look something like B12 [Books, 12th stack] or J15 [Journals, 15th stack] - these should help with finding items, as the order of the shelf numbers reflects the order of the books/journals.
- Bay 1 is a Quiet Study Room, accessible to everyone;
- Bay 2 is also a Quiet Study Room, accessible to everyone;
- Bays 3 & 4 have been combined to form a flexible study area where you can work in groups if you need to;
- Bay 5 contains the stairs that lead up to Bays 9-15, and the photocopier, which can also be used as a printer and scanner;
- Bay 6 houses the library staff desk and, behind it, a small study area, which is also sometimes booked for supervisions;
- Bays 7 and 8 house computers
In addition the Bays hold library stock – Bays 2 – 5 and the corridor house books; and Bays 6 – 15 house journals. A slightly less general key to the layout can be found on the Finding things page. A plan of the library will be provided on this website once stock relocations are complete.
Some groups of incoming students are given brief Library tours or demonstrations of information sources, but these are of course always available informally, so please ASK.
The librarian [Christine Alexander] is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Library. She is normally physically present only on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, from 8.30 am – 12.30 am. At other times she is in the Genetics Library in the building next door, and can be contacted there. You can probably use the Library without help, armed with the information on this website, but please do ASK if you have any questions or need help – the easiest way to do this is to e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. The telephone extension is 33930. The Genetics Library extension is 33973.
Professor David Coomes is the Academic Librarian; ie he is in overall charge of the Library.
There are 6 PCs in Bay 8 but only those on the right-hand side as you walk in are free-access : Part IIs have priority on those on the left-hand side. There are another 8 computers in Bay 7, but these are only available to Part IIs during term-time.
There is no special area for laptops : you may use your laptop anywhere in the Library, depending on whether you need access to a power socket or network cable. A network box is sited in the Library, so connection to the network is very good, but if you experience problems you are encouraged to use Eduroam. Please contact firstname.lastname@example.com if you need help with setting up.
The photocopier in Bay 5 is now used as our networked printer, but you need an account to be able to use it [contact firstname.lastname@example.com]. Some categories of users will also need to purchase credit in advance from the Accounts Office to be able to print.
The Library photocoper is in Bay 5, just on your left if you enter from Reception. You can use it with your University card [information to follow]. There is another copier, with far more functions, in the room just to the right of the kitchen, on the first floor, but it requires a code.
Many of the journals you need to read are likely to be available online, University-wide. Some titles, and older runs of volumes, are only available as paper copies: in fact the Plant Sciences Library has a very large number of non-current journal runs. Some titles are available as both paper and online.
The current issue of a journal can be found in the combined Bays 3/4, just to the right of the door from Reception. Older issues are generally in alphabetical order, beginning in Bay 6, and continuing upstairs.
At the moment the online catalogue cannot be relied on for journals, and we have not posted specific location information online because of continuing moves.
It is advisable to access online journals via the University Library e-journals list. That way you can determine which years/volumes we are entitled to. If you are in the cam-domain, you should not be asked for a password. Outside the cam-domain, some titles are accessible via a Raven password [obtainable from the Computing Service]. Some titles are not accessible outside the cam-domain at all. Many users are confused by the route of access to a paper – Please do ASK for help.
All books on the open library shelves may be borrowed, except those on the shelves to the right of the staff desk, with a yellow 'Reserve' sticker on their spines – these must remain in the Library. Any item removed from the Library must be signed out in the book on the Library staff desk, fronting Bay 6. All books [even very old ones] are searchable on iDiscover. Some categories of books [floras, taxonomic works, monographs on individual species] are now held at the Sainsbury Building. This is also where you will find the Simpson Collection of British Floras. Please ask in the Library about access to these items, or contact Herbarium staff directly.
Very few science books are currently available to us as e-books : An e-book will pick up on iDiscover if we do have access.
Inter-Library Loans and photocopies from other libraries
If the item you want is not available electronically, and not held in the Plant Sciences Library, the next step is to check if it is held in another Cambridge library – use iDiscover to check across all libraries.
If the item does not seem to be available in Cambridge, ask the librarian to get it for you. A straightforward loan or photocopy from the British Library will probably arrive in 4 days. Please note that we must currently request paper copies of journal articles and not pdfs. Other libraries within the Cambridge system will not lend books to the Plant Sciences Library, or send photocopies – you are asked to go there personally. The Betty and Gordon Moore Library can scan some scientific periodicals if they hold them, but there is a charge, and many items are currently in storage and inaccessible. See their website for information.
Other Libraries in Cambridge
Because most of the information you need can be accessed online, you may not need to use other libraries. However, it is useful to know what is available.
The old Central Science Library is now closed, because of the redevelopment on the New Museums site. Most of its holdings have gone into a 'dark' store - ie they are not accessible or retrievable. Please ask if you pick up a reference from the catalogue telling you the item you need is in Temporary Storage: We will probably have to obtain it from another University.
The Medical Library may be of interest, depending on your specialism. Again, you can visit this library if you show your University card.
To use the University Library you must have your University card activated in their admissions office, for which making an appointment is advisable. See their information page on eligibility before visiting.
Most of the other smaller subject libraries, such as Biochemistry, or Genetics, will allow you to visit, make photocopies, and even borrow books. It is always best to contact them first.
Please remember the librarian is there to help – Do ask!

Roth IRA rules clarified in a simple manner!
Every time tax season comes around, it seems that Roth IRA distributions are the victims of mis-coding by the financial institutions and over-taxation by the tax preparers. Thousands of dollars in taxes and penalties are being paid to the IRS on Roth distributions that should be free.
If you are looking at sorting out the "facts" from "fiction" regarding Roth IRAs, this is a "must attend" one hour Webinar.

The Shunammite Woman
2 Kings 4:8-17
The Shunammite woman is described as a great woman who opened her home to the prophet Elisha. She did not know who he was, but saw him walking through town one day and invited him to eat at the family home. He would visit the area often and each time, she'd invite him to stay with her husband and she. One day she told her husband that she suspected this was a great and holy man of God and that they should take their hospitality a step further. She set up a room with a cot so that Elisha would be more comfortable during his visits.
So let's stop here and think about this great woman's character so far. She is hospitable and warm toward strangers, and she is wise enough to recognize someone who walks with God. She also shows reverence toward those who walk with God.
Because of her character Elisha decided to bless the Shunammite woman. He asked her what she wanted ... did she want him to put in a good word with the king or even the commander of the Army? What could he do to show his appreciation? She modestly answers,"thank you, but what I have is sufficient." Elisha then asks his servant what he could give this kindly woman. The servant says that the woman is married to an old man and the couple have no children.
Elisha then told the woman that at this same time next year, she'll be holding her son. She was shocked and said, "as a man of God PLEASE don't lie to me like that!" But the prophesy was true. Next year she was holding her little man.
So not only was the woman hospitable and wise, she was modest and content with what she had. She reverenced those deserving and she was not a self-seeking person. And when she did something for somebody, she went all out. But the story does not end here.
The child grew older, but one day he was out in the field with his father when he started screaming, "my head, my head!" Perhaps he had heat stroke or an aneurysm - we don't know. All we know is that the child was taken to his mother where he sat on her lap and died in her arms around noon. And what did the woman do?
She immediately laid him on Elisha's cot and hopped on a donkey trotting as fast as it would go to find the man of God. Elisha saw her coming and sent his servant to find out how she and her family were faring. Her response? "It is well." When she got to the prophet she fell at his feet with a bitter and vexed spirit. She pretty much said, "you came to me with this child ... I didn't ask you for him, so why did you give him, make me love him then let him die?" Needless to say Elisha was quick to work a miracle for this family.
Read verses 29 - 36 to find out exactly how Elisha brought the child back to life (it's quite interesting), but when he told the woman to get her son ... she fell at Elisha's feet, bowed to the ground in gratitude, grabbed her child and left with him.
Now think about the following:
- I often hear people say that miracles were only to draw people to God, but this is a situation where a man of God awarded a miracle as a kind of thank you gift. Is it possible that there are holy people today who can authorize miracles? What biblical evidence supports your response? (Do some research, don't just rest on old assumptions!)
- How would you react if someone prophesied that you would have a child despite your medical history? (If someone did prophesy and your baby did not survive, does that mean it's the end of the road for you? Find out what happens in these situations) What does your response say about your ability to believe in the unseen?
- How did you react after your child died? How is it different from the Shunammite woman's example? The woman felt justified in asking the prophet "why" ... but she did not lose faith in his ability to do what was right in his sight. What has your approach been when talking to God? (i.e "My way or the highway" or "let Your will be done. I trust You.")
- Do you think the Shunammite woman's character had anything to do with God opening her womb? How does your character match or contrast those of the Shunammite woman? What areas do you need to develop?
- Thinking about the Shunammite woman's example is there something you can do today to invite a miracle into your life?

Sharon Jones Has Your New Hanukkah Anthem and a Delightful Video to Go Along With It
Move over, Adam Sandler.
Well, this is sure a lot more fun than getting socks on the first day of Hanukkah again (though far less practical). Off Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings' recently released album, It's a Holiday Soul Party, "8 Days (of Hanukkah)" and its new video are a freaking blast. It has some heavy Schoolhouse Rock (Jew-lhouse Rock) vibes. You know there's dancing dreidels! Look, Adam Sandler's song will always be seminal, as long as Jewish kids try to seem cool by telling people that Rod Carew and Jonas Salk were actually Jewish (poor kid, you probably should've picked Sammy Davis Jr. and a Gyllenhaal), but with this song, Jones might've started a new Hanukkah tradition. Traditiooooooooon! Tradition.

Red Clocks (Hardcover)
February 2018 Indie Next List
"I never understood what it meant for someone's writing to be 'lyrical' until I picked up Red Clocks. With beautiful prose, Leni Zumas tells the story of a young girl seeking an abortion in a world where abortion is illegal and dangerous; a woman on the quest to have children when in-vitro fertilization is illegal and folks aren't allowed to adopt without a partner; a woman in a dead-end marriage desperate to escape from her husband and children; and a woman considered a witch by most who provides homeopathic reproductive healthcare, including illegal abortions. Zumas beautifully weaves these stories together and gives each individual a strong and unique voice, while also maintaining suspended disbelief. These characters felt real and this world felt possible. I suspect this will be one of the best books published in 2018."

Five women. One question. What is a woman for? In this ferociously imaginative novel, abortion is once again illegal in America, in-vitro fertilization is banned, and the Personhood Amendment grants rights of life, liberty, and property to every embryo. In a small Oregon fishing town, five very different women navigate these new barriers alongside age-old questions surrounding motherhood, identity, and freedom. Ro, a single high-school teacher, is trying to have a baby on her own, while also writing a biography of Eiv r, a little-known 19th-century female polar explorer. Susan is a frustrated mother of two, trapped in a crumbling marriage. Mattie is the adopted daughter of doting parents and one of Ro's best students, who finds herself pregnant with nowhere to turn. And Gin is the gifted, forest-dwelling herbalist, or "mender," who brings all their fates together when she's arrested and put on trial in a frenzied modern-day witch hunt. RED CLOCKS is at once a riveting drama, whose mysteries unfold with magnetic energy, and a shattering novel of ideas. In the vein of Margaret Atwood and Eileen Myles, Leni Zumas fearlessly explores the contours of female experience, evoking THE HANDMAID'S TALE for a new millennium. This is a story of resilience, transformation, and hope in tumultuous-even frightening-times.
About the Author
Leni Zumas is the author of the story collection Farewell Navigator and the novel The Listeners, which was a finalist for the Oregon Book Award. She is an associate professor in the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Portland State University.

Engine On Display At Mid-America Trucking Show, March 26-28 In Louisville, Ky.
Columbus, Ind. (March 24, 2015) – Cummins Inc. (NYSE: CMI) will showcase the results of a four-year joint program with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) at the Mid-America Trucking Show. The Advanced Technology Light Automotive Systems (ATLAS) program was initiated to develop a commercially viable diesel engine for the half-ton pickup truck market that is capable of meeting future Tier 2 Bin 2 emissions regulations and Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) and stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) requirements out to the year 2025.
The demonstration vehicle, provided by Nissan North America, is a 2010 Nissan Titan® originally equipped with a gasoline V8 engine. In addition to meeting fuel-economy and emissions requirements, the new engine needed to accomplish the same work as the large gas V8, so maintaining a torque output of 385 lb-ft (522 N•m) was necessary. The Cummins team chose a 4-cylinder ISF2.8 base engine to begin research, and from there, the evolution began.
"When we launched ATLAS, the team understood that they had to think outside the box to achieve our targets," said Michael Ruth, Director/Technical Project Leader, Advanced Light-Duty. "Specifically, we knew that weight reduction, advanced emissions control technologies, advanced thermal management and powertrain integration would be critical to meeting all of the requirements. The challenge was making those significant advancements while ensuring that the engine we produced would be commercially viable."
The end result after the four-year effort was a 362-lb, 2.8-liter engine with an aluminum block, head and oil pan, a magnesium valve cover and an engine-mounted emissions control system. The ATLAS engine, including the on-engine aftertreatment system, weighs in at approximately 80 lb lighter than the original all-aluminum gasoline V8.
The Highway Fuel Economy Test (HFET) and FTP-75 Test (city) cycles demonstrated fuel economy over 35 mpg and 25.5 mpg, respectively. This is approximately a 53 percent increase in CAFE fuel economy at 28.9 mpg, as compared with the production gasoline V8 fuel economy of 18.9 mpg. The Cummins team not only surpassed all fuel-economy targets, but also achieved criteria emissions lower than the stringent Tier 2/Bin 2 GHG levels.
The ATLAS engine uses advanced technologies to meet the future regulations. One of the most notable features is the aluminum block. While not visible from outward appearances, the engine is a through-bolt design with a structural cradle above the oil pan and another above the cylinder head, "sandwiching" the block and head and enabling very high cylinder pressure capabilities.
A "dual loop" Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system with both low- and high-pressure circuits and switchable valve timing improve light load emissions output and allow for increased power density of the engine. The overhead camshaft is driven by belt-in-oil technology. This lubricated belt system is designed to last the life of the engine. The ATLAS engine also uses ceramic glow plugs, a High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) piezo-style fuel system complete with a Bosch® high-pressure pump and a VGT™ Turbocharger. The complete package is controlled by Cummins controls technology.
Another unique feature is the engine-mounted aftertreatment. In partnership with Johnson Matthey,® an on-engine catalyst was developed that has Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) wash-coat technology applied directly to the particulate filter.
In addition to the state-of-the-art diesel technology, an 8-speed ZF 8HP70 kept the engine operating at an optimum speed, helping to achieve a more than 50 percent fuel-economy improvement over that of the gasoline V8. The remainder of the truck's original running gear was unchanged.
Although the ATLAS engine is a research project, it was subject to all of the design standards and rigorous testing that Cummins performs on all products to ensure that the customer is receiving the most dependable and durable diesel engine available. On-road testing, towing, cold weather and chassis dyno testing, to verify that the ATLAS 2.8L met the U.S. emissions standards it was being measured against, resulted in a successful proof of concept. SAE International recognized the ATLAS team with the John Johnson Outstanding Research in Diesel Engines Award for their work, as published in the SAE paper Thermodynamic Systems for Tier 2 Bin 2 Diesel Engines (papers.sae.org/2013-01-0282).
Final plans to officially close Project ATLAS include a ride-and-drive event and final presentation at the DOE's 2015 Annual Merit Review, June 8-12 in Arlington, Va. For more information on the Annual Merit Review, visit annualmeritreview.energy.gov.
Also on display alongside the ATLAS engine will be the current Cummins offerings for the North American pickup market: the 555 lb-ft (752 N•m), 5.0L V8 Turbo Diesel in the all-new 2016 Nissan Titan XD, expected to go on sale in late 2015, and the best-in-class 865 lb-ft (1173 N•m), 6.7L Turbo Diesel in the one-ton Dodge Ram® 3500.

Greater Grace Temple's non-profit, Master's Commission, partnered with Meijer and the UAW to make the giveaway possible.
"For many people, one of their fondest childhood memories was to receive a brand new bicycle on Christmas morning," says GGT's Senior Pastor Bishop Charles H. Ellis III. "We want to do something to help those youngsters whose families are hit hard by this economy and could face having little or nothing under the tree on Christmas Day."
The Bike Giveaway rules consists of but are not limited to the following:

XY-Evolutions is Now in the Shop!
That's right! Shortly after the November 2 maintenance update (as of about 10:15 AM PDT) XY-Evolutions is now available in the In-Game Shop!
Evolutions boosters are available for 200 tokens, the Theme Decks Pikachu Power and Mewtwo Mayhem are available for 500 tokens each. Also, we have a new Shop Bundle featuring either Greninja or Weezing for 250 tokens!
Evolutions Booster Packs
You can now spend tokens to build up your XY-Evolutions collection! Check out the full set list of XY-Evolutions to see all possible cards.
As always, boosters and other items purchased in the Shop using tokens are locked and can't be traded.
You can earn unlocked Evolutions Boosters by participating in Tournaments (read the Getting Started Guide for more info about Tournaments), as well as by redeeming Evolutions Codes from physical products.
Theme Decks: Pikachu Power & Mewtwo Mayhem
Both Theme Decks, Pikachu Power and Mewtwo Mayhem are now available in the Shop for 500 tokens each.
Like usual, both Theme Decks include some exclusive cards, like the Holofoil Pikachu, Holofoil Mewtwo, and non-Holo versions of Magneton and Hitmonchan. Both Theme Decks also include a Chansey coin as an homage to the very first Base Set Theme Decks! Pikachu Power has a silver Chansey Coin while Mewtwo Mayhem has a pink/purple Chansey Coin.
Be sure to check out the recently updated pages for Pikachu Power and Mewtwo Mayhem for more details, including images and complete deck lists.
Theme Deck Mini-Review
As far as playability in the Theme Format, both decks are rather mediocre.
Mewtwo Mayhem may have the edge, having both Mewtwo and Nidoking as strong Psychic-type attackers along with Hitmonchan and Machoke (but no Machamp).
Pikachu Power has Raichu and Beedrill (but only 2 copies of each, so Beedrill's attack is maxed out at 80 damage) and Magneton as a backup attacker.
Both decks have equally mediocre Supporters and Trainer Cards. Both include Professor Oak's Hint (which ends your turn immediately after use), Pokemon Fan Club, and Tierno (x2). Pikachu Power also includes Pokemon Center Lady. For other Trainers, both have Energy Retrieval, Poke Ball, Professor's Letter, and Switch. Pikachu Power also includes Evosoda and Revive. Mewtwo Mayhem has Great Ball and Potion.
However, I'd definitely pick up both copies to not only add to your collection (for the Chansey Coins and Deck Exclusive Cards) but to play them in the Trainers Challenge for an additional 2 Evolutions Boosters.
Shop Bundle: Greninja Or Weezing Evolutions Blister
This week's limited-time Shop Bundle is an Evolutions Blister! This bundle includes:
- 1 Promo Pokemon Card of either Greninja OR Weezing
- 1 Silver Froakie Coin
- 1 XY-Evolutions Booster (locked)
This Bundle is available for only 250 tokens. No word yet on how long this bundle will be available, but I'd guess until around November 16, 2016.
Update: Apparently the description for this bundle has a typo. This bundle only gives the Grininja Promo, XY162, the Evolutions Booster and Silver Froakie Coin, according to reports posted on Reddit. This card has the moves Aqua Shower and Dual Cut (not nearly as playable as Shadow Stitching or Water Shuriken Greninja).
I'd recommend getting one or two copies of this bundle, especially if you're planning on spending tokens on Evolutions boosters anyway. After all, for just an extra 50 tokens you're getting a nice Froakie coin and a promo card.
The downside is that which card you get is random. Maybe buy a few until you get at least one of both? Up to you. 😀
What Do You Think?
Pumped about getting Evolutions boosters? Planning on getting the Theme Decks?

The National Catholic Educational Association (NCEA) applauds the 7-2 decision reached by the U.S. Supreme Court on June 26, 2017, in Trinity Lutheran Church of Columbia, Inc. v. Comer. The ruling states that the state of Missouri cannot deny public funds to a church simply because it is a religious organization.
This major case involved the denial of a state grant program to the Trinity Lutheran Child Learning Center (daycare and preschool) to install a safer playground surface using recycled tires. Although it placed fourth in the grant competition, the center was denied the funding solely because it was run by a religious institution and the Missouri state constitution disallows aid to such institutions. The Supreme Court's ruling states that "The department's policy violated the rights of Trinity Lutheran under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment by denying the Church an otherwise available public benefit on account of its religious status."
While this case specifically concerns Missouri, many states have their own versions of the constitutional provision used by Missouri to deny money to Trinity Lutheran—they're referred to as Blaine Amendments. Blaine Amendments are controversial state constitutional provisions based on the 19th century era of anti-Catholicism.
Dr. Tom Burnford, president/CEO of NCEA said, "It is the hope of NCEA that this decision will support efforts to repeal similar Blaine Amendments, while allowing all states to provide parents with more choices in selecting the best options for educating their children."

Raytheon Missile Systems Company - Tucson, AZ
Original Date: 09/14/1998
Revision Date: 01/18/2007
In May 1995, Raytheon Missile Systems Company (RMSC) developed a process to approve and implement block changes for common processes, as directed by the Single Process Initiative (SPI) for acquisition reform. RMSC's SPI approval process relies on technical and cost IPTs. Previously, the company maintained and used multiple processes, regardless of product similarity, to meet each contract's requirements. This approach resulted in duplicated efforts and excess costs.
Each proposed common process is assigned a technical IPT, which is led by RMSC and uses representatives from RMSC and DCMC. The technical IPT fully defines the proposed process by eliminating non-value added components and conflicting program requirements, and ensures that the new process provides equivalent/improved quality compared to current processes. The team submits the proposed common process as an idea paper to DCMC for approval. Once approved, the team is expanded to include the Program Executive Officer, program office, and other applicable government representatives. The revised IPT resolves any technical concerns and obtains customer concurrence.
In concert, a cost IPT determines the cost impact of a proposed change. This team is led by an RMSC estimator, and consists of a technical IPT leader, a technical IPT DCMC representative, and other technical experts, cost analysts, and estimators as needed. The cost IPT identifies the assumptions for assessing the cost impact for current contracts, and for determining the sustaining yearly cost avoidance. After completing the cost impact estimates, RMSC prepares a concept paper for the proposed common process, which details the process, provides associated metrics and consequent changes, and contains a rough order of magnitude cost/benefit analysis. The paper is submitted to the Management Council (with representatives from DCMC, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, RMSC, and key customers) for approval and execution of the block change modification for all U.S. government contracts at the site.
Since RMSC implemented this process, 29 SPIs have been approved and used at RMSC. The company estimates that the annual cost avoidance of the 29 approved SPIs exceeds $6.6 million. In addition, RMSC enhanced customer relationships via the customer's active IPT participation, strengthened competition, and streamlined acquisition. In March 1997, DOD presented RMSC with the SPI Recognition Award for its successful efforts in implementing common processes.

Summary of Legislative Changes
7.The company law provisions of the 2006 Act (Parts 1 to 39) restate almost all of the provisions of the 1985 Act, together with the company law provisions of the Companies Act 1989 (the 1989 Act) and the Companies (Audit, Investigations and Community Enterprise) Act 2004 (C(AICE) Act 2004). Paragraphs 9 and 10 below contain details of the provisions that remain in those Acts. The company law provisions also codify certain aspects of the case law.
8.Tables of origins and destinations are available that show the origins of the company law provisions of the Act by reference to enactments in force on 8 November 2006. The tables identify where provisions of the existing law have been re-enacted with or without changes and where provisions of the new law have no predecessor or are fundamentally different from their predecessors.
9.Of company law provisions in the Acts referred to in paragraph 77, the only ones that remain are those on investigations that go wider than companies (Part 14 of the 1985 Act) and the provisions on community interest companies in Part 2 of the C(AICE) Act 2004.
10.The non-company law provisions in those Acts that remain are:
Part 18 of the 1985 Act (floating charges and receivers (Scotland)),
Part 3 of the 1989 Act (powers to require information and documents to assist overseas regulatory authorities),
Section 112 to 116 of the 1989 Act (provisions about Scottish incorporated charities)
Part 7 of the 1989 Act (provisions about financial markets and insolvency)
Schedule 18 of the 1989 Act (amendments and savings consequential upon changes in the law made by the 1989 Act)
Sections 14 and 15 of the C(AICE) Act 2004 (supervision of accounts and reports), and
Sections 16 and 17 of the C(AICE) Act 2004 (bodies concerned with accounting standards etc).
11.In non-company law areas the Act makes amendments to other legislation, in particular the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, and also makes new provision of various kinds. The main areas in which provision of this kind is made are:
overseas disqualification of company directors (Part 40),
business names (Part 41) – replacing the Business Names Act 1985,
statutory auditors (Part 42) – replacing Part 2 of the Companies Act 1989, and
transparency obligations (Part 43) – amending Part 6 of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000.

That submission thing from people really strikes a chord. But then Dad found out about it, and my career as king of 8th through 10th grade ended. I tried to make it up to the guys I had pushed around, but I'm not sure they ever trusted me, not that they should have. No checks on your behavior, and you'll do some unsocial things.

For a while I had gone to catholic school as a child. We would be given lectures on how to treat people if we so much as talked badly about someone. It was really frowned upon and the person causing trouble ended up feeling bad after. They were great speeches. LOL When I got into public school it ws like so chaotic and some kids would pull a knife just because they didn't like the color of someone's hair. Ya know?
All schools should impress good behavior and compassion for one another. They should be forced to watch movies about bullying and how seriously it effects lives. Start at the first grade and every grade thereafter.
At home also, don't ever stop impressing the importance of good behavior, of compassion for your fellow man.
