Lyndon B. Johnson Quotes About TodayQuotes about: Today
The American city should be a collection of communities where every member has a right to belong. It should be a place where every man feels safe on his streets and in the house of his friends. It should be a place where each individual's dignity and self-respect is strengthened by the respect and affection of his neighbors. It should be a place where each of us can find the satisfaction and warmth which comes from being a member of the community of man. This is what man sought at the dawn of civilization. It is what we seek today.
'Human history, ' H.G. Wells once wrote, 'becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.' You and I cannot be indifferent to the outcome of that race. We care deeply about the winner. Because we do care so deeply about the winner, that is why we are all in the East Room of the White House today.
We know that they cannot bear their share of the taxes to help pay for their education. And unless those children get a good education we know that they become dropouts and they become delinquents and they become taxeaters instead of taxpayers. We know that they will join the unemployed. That is why we put top priority on breaking the vicious cycle that today threatens the future of 5 million children in this great land of opportunity which we talk about so much.
Each year more than 100,000 high school graduates, with proved ability, do not enter college because they cannot afford it. And if we cannot educate today's youth, what will we do in 1970 when elementary enrollment will be 5 million greater than 1960? And high school enrollment will rise by 5 million. College enrollment will increase by more than 3 million.
An unspoiled river is a very rare thing in this Nation today. Their flow and vitality have been harnessed by dams and too often they have been turned into open sewers by communities and by industries. It makes us all very fearful that all rivers will go this way unless somebody acts now to try to balance our river development.
As it was 189 years ago, so today the cause of America is a revolutionary cause. And I am proud this morning to salute you as fellow revolutionaries. Neither you nor I are willing to accept the tyranny of poverty, nor the dictatorship of ignorance, nor the despotism of ill health, nor the oppression of bias and prejudice and bigotry. We want change. We want progress. We want it both abroad and at homeand we aim to get it.

DNA Damage Response Activates Interferon Signaling
Racine Brzostek, Sabrina Ewa
MetadataShow full item record
The DNA damage response occurs in response to breaks in DNA and can elicit cell signaling pathways that result in cell cycle arrest, DNA repair, or apoptosis in order to maintain the integrity of the genome. The replication of viruses activates the host DNA damage response and many of these viruses have evolved mechanisms to inhibit apoptosis. To understand better the link between DNA damage and cellular defense, the effects of agents that create double-stranded DNA breaks were evaluated on cellular gene expression. Etoposide, a chemotherapeutic drug used to treat various cancers, causes cell cycle arrest and death by apoptosis. Its mechanism of action involves the targeting of topoisomerase II, wherein it alters the ability of topoisomerase II to relegate cleaved DNA strands, resulting in an increase the number of double stranded breaks in the DNA. This damage triggers cell death pathways, ultimately leading to apoptosis. The gene expression profile of etoposide treated cells was compared to that of virally infected cells.These studies indicate that etoposide treatment leads to expression of interferon (IFN) stimulated genes (ISGs). Further analysis indicated that a subset of IFNΑ and IFNΛ genes, but not IFNΒ, are induced by the DNA damage incurred with etoposide treatment and the ISGs are expressed due to IFN signaling. The IFN Regulatory Factors (IRFs), IRF3 and IRF5 do not appear to be activated and thus are not responsible for this IFN gene induction. However, two other IRF family members, IRF1 and IRF7 are induced in response to etoposide treatment and have a role in IFNΑ and IFNΛ induction. Furthermore, NFΚB appears to be the master transcription factor that activates IFN signaling in response to etoposide. In addition to directly activating IFNΛ gene expression, NFΚB also induces the IRF1 and IRF7 genes and therefore plays an indirect role in IFNΑ induction.Additionally, inhibition of PI-3-kinase ataxia-telangiectasia mutated (ATM) activation diminishes the IFNΑ and IFNΛfnresponse in etoposide treated cells, indicating that the IFN induction appears to occur downstream of the (ATM) signaling pathway. These studies indicate a significant link between two host survival mechanisms. the DNA damage response and the response to viral infection.

Justin Timberlakes Trench Coat Look for Less!
February 15, 2015 by jasmine
Filed under Boys on the Side
~ See the last look for less here.
Justin Timberlakes 2009 GQ outfit clearly shows how classic styles never go out of style. His high-top Pumas and skinny jeans give his trench the perfect urban feel, while his sleek tie completes the look. A great way for sneaker enthusiasts to look more polished and still wear sneakers.

We went to London.
There is a bottomless well of words for our trip but I won't be able to sift through them for a while.
We stayed with friends and it was incredibly nice.
Earl's Court was on the list.
MindtheGap is in my nightmares.
I am reminded of my past much more than my future when I am there.
It's all tube lines and twisty steps filled with exhaust and culture, and things that are hundreds of years old muddled in with the modern.
I love going to London.
pictures to follow....maybe.

What is Biodegradable?
Toronto's alternate weekly Now Magazine has a regular column on evironmental issues called Ecoholic. This week they raise an issue of some importance in a city where so much of our garbage is trucked to landfills in Michigan- what does biodegradable actually mean? The article points out that one can call DDT biodegradable as it breaks down into two substances far more toxic than the original. read more in ::NOW

What's the Latest Development?
Toronto researchers using MRI have found that the way formerly depressed people's brains react to sad movies is a reliable predictor of their likelihood to relapse. They found that the areas of the brain that lit up when the formerly depressed people watched a sad movie corresponded with whether the patients ultimately needed more treatment. The patients' brains were scanned while they watch two neutral film scenes, and then two sad scenes (from the films "The Champ" and "Terms of Endearment").
What's the Big Idea?

Evening Sun reporters love to argue. The sides in this debate were chosen arbitrarily and do not necessarily reflect the authors true viewpoints. This week, Jill Osterhout and Jessica Lewis tackle the HPV vaccination issue: In June 2006, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to recommend the first vaccine developed to prevent cervical cancer and other diseases in females caused by certain types of genital human papillomavirus (HPV). The vaccine, Gardasil, protects against four HPV types. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently licensed this vaccine for use in girls and women, ages 9-26 years. The vaccine is given through a series of three shots over a six-month period.
The overall ethics and morals behind the shot itself have caused debates nationwide on whether the shot is a positive medical benefit or simply enables young people to be irresponsible about their sexuality. This vaccine is designed to safeguard young girls both sexually active and not sexually active from the most common sexually transmitted disease in the world today. The Center for Disease Control states at least 50 percent of sexually active people will get some form of HPV sometime in their lives. Every year approximately 6.2 million people get HPV. Also, many forms of the disease lead to a great number of women who could eventually end up with cancer. Why not try to prevent this? JSO
The issue here is not with people who choose to get or not get the vaccine. The issue is whether or not a vaccine that prevents an STD should be routinely given to girls as young as nine years of age. Immunizing young children against a sexually transmitted disease sends the wrong type of message. Instead of teaching children to be responsible and abstain from sexual activity until they are mature enough to deal with all of the consequences, this vaccine could actually encourage sexual activity at a younger age. Parents have an issue with explaining to their children why this type of a vaccine is necessary. JLL
I think the first step as a parent is to be upfront with your children, and the first lesson should be to take responsibility. Sadly, in the world we live in today, many girls even as young as nine are ending up pregnant or living with an STD. Keeping your children informed is the first step, and the second step as a parent is to realize that times have changed dramatically and parents are dealing with teenagers on birth control and teenage pregnancy much more now than even a decade ago. Taking control and keeping in mind that even though you may not agree and having your child sexually active at a young age is not a good thing, that children do things behind their parents back the majority of the time. Talking with your child about what the vaccine is and why it was created is the best approach I agree, but talking about it does not mean you condone their behavior. JSO
First of all, most girls arent even capable of getting pregnant at the age of nine, and even though this vaccine can prevent a great deal of HPV cases, I dont think it should be common practice to force it on girls at such a young age. Some states are even discussing making this vaccine mandatory. Immunizing young girls against a sexually transmitted diseases is much different than immunizing them against common illnesses that can be passed from child to child through everyday contact. This is a moral issue that needs to be examined closely and decided by each parent on a case by case basis, not one that should be legislated and forced down the throats of citizens. JLL
This is a moral and ethical case I agree, and parents need not to force their child, they need to educate themselves and their children. I feel states should make this mandatory due to the fact that this is the first step to finding the next logical way to prevent STDs besides abstinence. Nine may prove to be to young in most cases but there are children out their baring children at extremely young ages. I know when it is time for my own child to reach puberty I am not going to look away and turn the other cheek to the fact that she needs to be educated and informed as well as be prepared for what she may chose to do during adolescence. The series of shots are given in a series for such reasoning: the vaccine itself needs time to take effect so giving children such vaccines is not giving them the privilege to go out and start a sexual relationship, it is merely ensuring that as the child gets older they will be protected from cervical cancer a cancer that on average kills 3,700 women a year. JSO
States do not have the right to mandate decisions that have a moral and ethical effect on the population. Whether or not you choose to vaccinate your daughter is your own decision, as it should be for every parent. Aside from the moral issues of vaccination, there is another issue at hand. Gardasil has not been in existence long enough for us to know what possible side effects it could cause in the future. Introducing a powerful drug into a developing body could have effects that we will all regret later. We should not jump to make any new drug mandatory until it has been fully researched and weve had the time to see if it has long term consequences. JLL

Room 7
Despite the uncertainty of the Phoney War, Miró began one of his most famous and beautiful series, The Constellations, at Varengeville in January 1940. They were inscribed with specific dates, allowing us to reconstruct the sequence and establish the chain of linked compositions. Indeed, once complete and ready for exhibition, Miró requested that they were displayed following this dating. Though they were painted on paper and small in size, Miró envisaged that they would 'give the impression of large frescoes'.
The first ten Constellations, beginning with Sunrise and The Escape Ladder, were completed in the first half of 1940. Then, in May 1940, as the German army swept through the Low Countries and prepared to invade France, Miró and his family faced the choice between further exile or return to Spain. Despite his staunch support for the Spanish Republic he chose to return home and live in 'internal exile' with his wife's family in Mallorca, where he resumed the Constellations to make a further ten complex, densely packed paintings. The final three in the series, bringing the total to twenty-three, were completed on Miró's return to Mont-roig in 1941. There he also worked on drawings for the Barcelona Series that share much of the same imagery.

China Enacting a High-Tech Plan to Track People - New York Times:
SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 9 — At least 20,000 police surveillance cameras are being installed along streets here in southern China and will soon be guided by sophisticated computer software from an American-financed company to recognize automatically the faces of police suspects and detect unusual activity.
Starting this month in a port neighborhood and then spreading across Shenzhen, a city of 12.4 million people, residency cards fitted with powerful computer chips programmed by the same company will be issued to most citizens.
Data on the chip will include not just the citizen's name and address but also work history, educational background, religion, ethnicity, police record, medical insurance status and landlord's phone number. Even personal reproductive history will be included, for enforcement of China's controversial "one child" policy. Plans are being studied to add credit histories, subway travel payments and small purchases charged to the card.
Security experts describe China's plans as the world's largest effort to meld cutting-edge computer technology with police work to track the activities of a population and fight crime. But they say the technology can be used to violate civil rights.

Nondirective support (NS; collaborative, flexible) is positively associated with successful disease management, healthy lifestyles, quality of life and support satisfaction, whereas directive support (DS; prescriptive, protocol driven) has negative or no associations with these outcomes. However, DS is advantageous in acute, stressful situations and when an individual lacks skills to handle a challenge. This study manipulated these support types through e-mail exchanges and evaluated their effects on weight loss, physical activity, dietary behavior, engagement, alliance, and satisfaction in a 12-week e-counseling program. Overweight individuals (N = 104) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: NS, DS, or minimal support (MS). All participants received two e-mails each week: (1) weight loss lesson and web link to report weight, daily calories, and exercise; (2) feedback graphs. Participants in the NS and DS conditions also received individualized weight loss support following protocols reflecting each type of support. Participants in the NS condition reported greater NS and a greater ratio of NS to DS than participants in the DS condition indicating participants were sensitive to the support manipulation. There was no effect for weight loss based on treatment condition. Secondary analyses revealed a gender-by-condition interaction. Females lost more weight in the DS condition (10.61 pounds) than in the NS (5.51 pounds) or MS (5.98 pounds) conditions (number of males insufficient for between-group analyses). Participants in the DS condition had greater changes in physical activity than participants in the NS and MS conditions. There were no group differences for dietary behavior and engagement. Those in NS reported greater goal collaboration than those in DS and greater goal collaboration, task orientation, and bond than those in MS. Support satisfaction was greater in NS than DS or MS conditions. General program satisfaction in NS was equivalent to satisfaction in DS and higher than in MS. These findings indicate that DS is advantageous to females during the beginning of a weight loss program, underscore the value of individualized weight loss support to alliance and program acceptability, and point to the importance of analysis of specific aspects of social support and its relationships with behavior and satisfaction.I would like to thank the faculty, staff, and students in the University of North Carolina Department of Health Behavior and ... Tate for training me on e- counseling techniques and using the intemet as a means to deliver weight loss programs.

Fractal Design Node 304 review -
Final words and conclusion
The Fractal Design Node 304 obviously caters a very specific audience. The guys and gals that need something small and sexy for that functions as a simple net-top, HTPC or the coolest looking NAS/file server ever. Fact remains that if you can find a Mini ITX motherboard with a fast enough processor then really there's nothing holding you back to create a more powerful beast thanks to the fact you can insert a dual-slot graphics card even.
From the chassis point of few very little is wrong with the Node 304, as much of the Fractal Design PC cases, it is elegant, simple and definitely feature rich for a mid-tower chassis. You get a matte black designed chassis with features wise options to put in many HDDs and devices.
The Noise
Most of you will be using a chassis like this to build a HTPC, and that always needs to be quiet. Well, the Node 304 is great in that aspect, simply but the fan controller at low RPM and the included three fans will remain silent yet do create enough airflow to cool down the gear. So for the audiophiles, you got nothing to worry. And hey, if you need a little more airflow just up that fan controller or notch. It is good to have that choice for what is such a small chassis.
The Innards
The inside of the chassis does what it needs to do and that is to create an environment for components. Overall the compact chassis offers plenty of space for the motherboard, PSU and the shweeeet 6 HDDs. As stated in the article, you can even insert a dual-slot dedicated graphics card. There is a compromise to be made though, if you want to do that you need to remove one HDD bay. it will still leave you with two bays and thus four mounts for HDD/SSDs which obviously is plenty. There will be one problem though, the cables leading out of the power supply might hinder graphics card installation. We strongly recommend a fully modular power supply with a maximum length of 14/15cm to ensure that things will work out.
Cable management overall can get a little messy real fast due to the compact space though, but I guess that comes with the territory and considering the chassis is closed (no see through panels) it is as far as I am concerned just not an issue. Oh and please do bare in mind, there is no place for a 5.25" optical drive.
The Looks
Personally I think the looks are just great, in fact it might be the best looking compact chassis design I have seen in a long time. The looks are just incredible green, it's a little black box with an all aluminum front. Taste obviously differs per person though, but the word I tend to use with Fractal Design PC cases seems to be 'subtle'. And yeah the word subtle certainly does apply here as well. No screaming logo's, LEDs and mismatched colors. It's all done just right, but again .. taste differs per person and thus makes this a subjective rating.
Final Words
So if you are in the market for a very compact chassis to house your Mini ITX or DTX motherboard that has flexibility, features and great looks then yeah, the Fractal Design Node 304 should be very high on your shopping list. It is compact, looks great and would make for an excellent file-server thanks to the large amount of HDD space. Pop in a AMD APU based motherboard like we did and boom, you just created yourself a fine Home Theater PC. Add in something a little more spicy and you can even insert a graphics card. Graphics cards up to 310mm in length are supported when 2 HDD brackets are removed, but remember that graphics cards longer than 170 mm will conflict with PSUs longer than 160mm. So PSUs wise, less then 150mm length and modular are the keywords here.
Overall you are looking at a quality build, the Node 304 feels and really is sturdy, armed with USB 3.0, a fan controller and three silent fans it is one of the best compact chassis we have ever tested for this form factor. Definitely approved and recommended.

56200 Overseas Highway
Marathon, Florida 33050
Phone: 305-289-2690
Reservations: 305-289-2690
This park is made up of a group of islands in the Middle Keys, with public access to swimming, a playground, picnic tables, grills, and showers on the ocean side of Little Crawl Key. The hardwood hammocks found on these tropical islands support one of the largest populations of thatch palms in the United States. Mangrove swamps, seagrass beds, and wetlands provide vital habitats for tropical wildlife.
Florida state parks are open from 8 a.m. until sundown 365 days a year.
Swimming Beach
Water/Electric Sites
A 28-site campground, located along the oceanfront, is open from November 1 through May 31 each year. Most sites have a gravel parking area for cars and RVs, and most have an adjoining sand area for pitching a tent. The sites without a sandbox are 10-19, 21, and 26. Tents may be placed on these sites as well, but the gravel is more coarse. Site 1 is ADA accessible. The campground fills quickly in winter, so make your plans early.
RV Camping
All 28 campsites offer water and 15/30/50 amp electric hookups, and a dump station is available within the campground. All sites are reserved through Reserve America.
Accommodation Availability Calendars

Swimming is available in designated areas. In general, the water is shallow and the currents and waves gentle.
Canoeing and kayaking are outstanding in Curry Hammock State Park. Human powered boats may be carried to the waterfront and launched from both the day-use area and campground. The shallow waters are usually calm with gentle currents. There are miles of shoreline on both the Atlantic and Bay of Florida sides of the park and a beautiful mangrove creek to explore. There are no facilities for powerboats in the park, and most of the waters within the park are a no combustion zone.
Fishing is allowed within the park. The flats often hold permit and bonefish, and the channel alongside the park has produced sizable sharks, snapper, snook, and more. Florida fishing regulations apply within the park, and spearguns are prohibited at all times.

The picnic area is located on the southeast end of the park and has 4 pavilions, each with a barbecue grill and 4 picnic tables. Please contact the ranger station at (305) 289-2690 for availability and reservations. When not reserved these pavilions are available on a first-come basis. Other picnic tables are spread out along the waterfront. Pavilion 1 is ADA accessible.
Bicycles are welcome on park roads, and the Overseas Heritage Multi-use Trail which passes through the park, providing easy access to and from Marathon. For your safety, remember persons under the age of 16 years are required by state law to wear a properly fitting bike helmet. To preserve the natural areas of the park, bicycles are limited to roadways and are not permitted on footpaths, boardwalks, restroom ramps, or the nature trail.
A 1.5-mile nature trail winds through the hardwood hammock. The tread is uneven and appropriate footware is recommended.
Area Attractions
Inline skating is permitted on the park's roadways, and on the Overseas Heritage Multi-use Trail.
Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews

Introduction to the Keys
by Jack Wendleton
This park was a gem. We had not been to the keys before. While, the campground was full, we did not feel crowded. The campground hosts were all helpful, pleasant and knowledgeable about the amenities and area. The Park Staff was more mixed. One was very helpful, but a second was rude and dismissive.

Lots of fun, great fishing
by Happy Florida Camper
This is one of our favorite campsites. The sites are close to the beach and the fishing was great. The facilities are clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. Shopping close by, so you can conveniently pick up anything you forgot to pack. I love this park!

A Very nice park for beachies
by Bill
We live in Florida and have a Florida State Park passport book as we camp often. we visited Curry Hammock 2 years ago in April and like all Florida parks is clean as can be. A small and very new facility right next to the beach, it was very warm but if your a beachy person you will enjoy it
Pet Camping
Pets must be confined, leashed (not to exceed six feet in length) or otherwise under the physical control of a person at all times. Tethered pets must not be left unattended for more than 30 minutes. Quiet hours must be observed from 11:00 p.m. - 8:00 a.m. Pet owners must pick up after their pets and properly dispose of all pet droppings in trash receptacles. Florida law requires that pets be vaccinated against rabies. Any pet that is noisy, dangerous, intimidating or destructive will not be allowed to remain in the park. Non-furbearing pets, such as reptiles, birds, or fish must be confined or under the physical control of the owner. Some animals may be prohibited on park property. Failure to abide by these rules may result in the camper being asked to board the pet outside the park or to leave the campground.
Pets are not allowed on beaches, in picnic shelters, or in the bathhouses. In the areas where pets are allowed they must be on a six-foot hand held leash and be well behaved at all times. For more information, see the Official Pet Policy.

I am participating in Online Card Classes Stretch Your Dies.
I have had this set of city buildings and been dying(get it) to use it on a card.
This is adding Hero Arts newest Ombré inks to the buildings.
My favorite thing to do with dies is to use the negative space (white card stock) as a background layer and then to layer the individual die cut images onto it! It really gives it some dimension and makes it pop!
I matted it onto some black packaging I had from Darice and then put some Glossy Accents in the windows! Such a fun little card.

NORWICH In a study completed by New York State Board of Education in early October, the Norwich City School District is among 75 districts cited for low graduation rates for students with disabilities.
According to state DOE representative Tom Dunn, there was a 21.9 percent dropout rate in the district among students with disabilities.
Cited districts must undergo a thorough review of instructional practices to ensure they are using proven, research-based methods and/or improving their staffs professional development. Special education experts, funded by the state DOE, lend a hand in the process.
The study was based on data from the 2004-2005 academic year.
Norwich Director of Special Programs Katherine McKeever confirmed that test scores for this population in the district have been in need of improvement for the past three years.

Powys Council leader David Jones faces no confidence vote
The future of a council leader will be decided in the new year when he faces a vote of no confidence.
David Jones's tenure as Powys Council leader will end if councillors back a motion at an extraordinary meeting of the full council on 10 January.
This follows a no confidence motion put forward by members of a group that had split from his ruling group.
Members of the new Independent Group claim Mr Jones no longer has a mandate to lead the council.
The council leader axed three members of the previous cabinet on 26 November.
Mr Jones defended the sackings in order to create a stronger and united authority to tackle budget pressures.
Budget cuts
Those councillors were from the group he previously led, the Shire Independent Group. They defected with others to form the new Independent Group led by Councillor Graham Brown.
Mr Brown said members of his group had launched the no confidence motion in the wake of Mr Jones's decision last week to join the Powys Independent Alliance (PIA), which now holds all 10 cabinet posts.
"The people of Powys voted in the leader of the Shires Independent Group because they didn't want the PIA in power," he said.
"The PIA is now the ruling administration because of the council leader's actions and this is contrary to what people voted for."
Powys council is facing budget cuts of £40m over three years.
Traditionally, the majority of Powys council candidates stand as independents and those elected come together after polling day to form groupings and an administration.
BBC Wales has asked Mr Jones to comment.

Implementation of first two phases of cable TV digitisation has taught valuable lessons: Tewari
NEW DELHI: Information and Broadcasting Minister Manish Tewari has said the first two phases of digitisation of cable television provided a learning experience as far as implementation of the process was concerned.
Speaking at the 8th Indian Magazine Congress in the capital on the theme ?Winning through Innovation?, he said these lessons would be incorporated while implementing the remaining two phases. The Minister reiterated that Digitisation was bound to be a game changer for the sector and would define contours of orderly growth.
While providing qualitative choices to the consumer, digitisation would also ensure that the subscription revenues and skewed business models are rectified. The Government has already decided to merge phases III and IV and complete the entire process by December this year.
While the first phase of digitisation covering the four metros had come into effect from November 2012 (though it was stayed in Chennai following a court order and was implemented marginally in Kolkata after initial reluctance), the second phase covering 39 cities was implemented by 31 March 2013.
The Government is still considering the proposal to merge Phase III covering all urban areas (Municipal Corporations/Municipalities) and Phase IV covering rest of India to 31 December 2014. The present dates for these two phases are 30 September 2014 and 31 December 2014 respectively.
Ministry sources told indiantelevision.com that if the government achieves its target, it will overtake countries like the United States and the United Kingdom which set long deadlines.

Synthesis and Characterization of Anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody-conjugated Magnetic Poly (glycidyl methacrylate) Particles and their Application on CD4+ Lymphocyte Separation
N. Pimpha, S. Chaleawlert-umpon, N. Chruewkamlow, W. Kasinrerk
National Nanotechnology Center, TH
Keywords: immunomagnetic particles, poly (glycidyl methacrylate), anti-CD4 monoclonal antibody, CD4+ lymphocyte separation
Abstract:To develop an efficient magnetic system for separation of CD4+ lymphocytes, we design a simple, specific, and cost-effective CD4 separation system without the need for column separation technique. Novel immunomagnetic particles have been prepared for separation of CD4+ lymphocytes. The magnetic nanoparticles with a diameter of approximately 5-6 nm were first synthesized by co-precipitation from ferrous and ferric iron solutions and subsequently encapsulated with poly (glycidyl methacrylate) (PGMA) by precipitation polymerization. Monoclonal antibody specific to CD4 molecules expressed on CD4+ lymphocytes was conjugated to the surface of magnetic PGMA particles through covalent bonding between epoxide functional groups on the particle surface and primary amine groups of the antibodies. The generated immunomagnetic particles have successfully separated CD4+ lymphocytes from whole blood with over 95% purity. The results indicated that these particles can be employed for cell separation and provide a strong potential to be applied in various biomedical applications including diagnosis, and monitoring of human diseases.

PLATTSBURGH - Rosa L. Ganiszewski of Peru is the recipient of the 2009 Crab Island Memorial Scholarship.
Ganiszewski was recently presented with the scholarship by the members of the Clinton Community College Foundation and American Legion Post 1619. The post annually supports the scholarship which was established in 2005 to help non-traditional students pursue a degree at Clinton Community College. The scholarship is supported by the Crab Island-Post 1619 American Legion Memorial Fund and was named in memory of the soldiers who lost their lives in defense of this nation's freedoms.
Steven G. Frederick, associate vice president for institutional advancement, and Wallace J. Hall, president of the CCC Veterans Club and a former U.S. Marine, presented the $3,000 scholarship to Ganiszewski, joined by representatives from the West Plattsburgh American Legion post John Rock, Michael Rock and Floyd Rock.
"This is a gift that will change lives," said Frederick. "It provides an opportunity to receive a college education for those who may otherwise be unable, and that kind of generosity just can't be measured."
The scholarship is awarded annually in the fall and spring semesters and covers the cost of tuition and books for one academic year, with continued funding for a second year as long as a 2.5 grade point average or better is maintained.
Candidates must be a resident of Clinton, Franklin or Essex counties. All academic majors are considered and preference is given to family members of American Legion Post 1619 and non-traditional adult students.

The Sales Manager
I have 23 years experience within a sales role, both in business to business and also business to consumer. During my career I have successfully trained many individuals to sell by developing their own style but using tried and tested sales techniques. I understand how daunting it can be to have to pick up the telephone or meet with clients/customers face to face with the view of interesting them in the product or service that is being offered.
In my first recruitment role, I had a real fear of the telephone and my manager had to bribe me with a Mars Bar to get me to make the cold calls required for the role. This fear soon passed, however, my love of Mars Bars has not!!!!!
I have established The Sales Manager to support and train business owners to increase their revenue. I also provide a sales support service which provides telesales/telemarketing, assisting in managing sales staff, help with setting and managing KPI's and well as one to one coaching.

Myth Madness: Writing Wrap Up
Lesson 7 of 11
Objective: Write short arguments based on research that demonstrate focus and organization and include supporting details.
Big Idea: Who will be left standing when Demeter and Hermes contend? Is your argument strong enough?
Pair Share
Today's students arrive to class with the final of four paragraphs written for our Myth Madness unit. It starts with an opportunity for students to share their work with others. They take time to compliment what they notice a peer has done well and also help one another address problem areas. An example for Athena and Apollo as winners of the competition appears here and for Artemis and Demeter as winners appears here. This video explains the expectations in greater detail.
Resources (4)
Choose Your Best Work
After sharing work with a partner, students now have time to revise and edit their paragraphs on Demeter and Hermes, as well as all of their other paragraphs. I ask students to review the Myth Madness guidelines and emphasize the expectations for each paragraph.
One of the best ways to identify missing pieces in the writing is to color code each paragraph according to the guidelines. Then pass out the rubric and review the grading criteria. It is at this point that I allow students to choose the best two paragraphs to be graded. Be careful not to tell them earlier or some will not continue to put forth their best effort. They write the names of their choices on the rubric. Any not completed correctly automatically leaves the choice to me. Two examples of final work appears here and here.

On to Round 2
We quickly move on to the next round now that we know who survived the first set of competitions in the Myth Madness challenge: Apollo, Aphrodite, Athena and Hermes. The students refer back to their research notes and now must compare these gods to one another. Half the class prepares a project for Aphrodite and Apollo and the other half for Athena and Hermes. Instead of writing paragraphs, they create a poem (bio or diamante) or a Venn diagram. The International Reading Association offers a online format for diamante poems and Venn diagrams on their website (readwritethink.org) and these items are also available as free downloadable apps. Students have a choice whether to create a paper version or electronic version of the assignment. I know this is a change from the guidelines, but unfortunately I find myself in a time crunch and only have one day to devote to the final two rounds. While this is disappointing, it depicts real life in the classroom. Pacing is always a challenge.

BOGOTA, Aug 30 (Reuters) - Colombia will use $980 million in fines paid by mobile phone operators to pre-finance budgetary needs for next year, Finance Minister Mauricio Cardenas said on Wednesday.
In July, a Colombian arbitration panel fined Mexico's America Movil SAB de CV and Spain's Telefonica SA for failing to meet contractual conditions for cellular services.
"We will use it to reduce our outside financing needs, we'll reinforce the pre-financing for next year," Cardenas told reporters, referring to the 472 million euros owed by Telefonica's Movistar division and $1.08 billion owed by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim's America Movil.

Goings-on go from 8 to 7:30 today at the El Paso County Fairgrounds (366 10th St., Calhan, tinyurl.com/ElPasoCo-fair) and admission is $3 to $7 (under 3 free), with full passes available for $15 to $25. — Matthew Schniper

Here is the official promo of "Dexter" season 7 episode 6 – "Do The Wrong Thing" – scheduled to air next Sunday. Watch the video after the jump.
Dexter season 8 begins production on February 2013. The writers of the show will start writing the final season next week, according to Dexter's writer / producer Scott Reynolds. More after the jump.
Michael C. Hall said in a recent interview: "We're going to go back to start shooting the final season earlier than usual. We're going to be a bit ahead of schedule. We'll start shooting in February. So I think the writers will maybe have a long weekend and get right back to it. As a result I think everyone is thinking about what the end game is. Nothing definitive is on the books, but the conversation feels a lot more real than it's ever felt."
There's also a rumor regarding the eighth and final season of Dexter, that it will possibly be longer than the typical twelve episodes per season. More specifically, season 8 will have 16 episodes.

When planning a political career, consider that every single thing you do or say in public, will be severely scrutinized. Let's take a look at Hillary Clinton's moments she'd rather remove from Google Images forever.
20. My Friend Donnie
Oh hello Mr. Trump, how are you? Hillary is all smiles posing with businessman Donald Trump many years ago, presumably before color photography was discovered. Did it ever cross her mind back then that they would become bitter rivals in 2016? If it did, Hillary would surely have run away from this photoshoot.
19. My Man
Hillary's husband Bill Clinton being a bit too charming with another woman? That's most likely something Hillary learned to accept.
18. Family Matter
Apparently Bill couldn't resist Donald Trump's charms, too, as they look genuinely friendly in this photo.

As a hunter, I support wildlife conservation both as a passion and a duty… and, I support SCI Foundation."

Cats love to play with rubber bands, milk rings, string, pins, needles and even dental floss, but these tiny "toys" can be dangerous for your pet. Be sure to keep them out of paw's reach.
BY: The Daily Cat experts
People will often feed feral cats without thinking of the consequences. Frequently, such cats do not receive proper medical care -- including spaying and neutering -- leading to all sorts of unintended problems.
If you are concerned about picking up the cat, use a humane trap -- shelters often carry Havahart traps that you can borrow -- and get the cat that way. (When dealing with a large family of feral cats, I bought a few of these traps and rented a couple of them from local shelters and pet stores.) Next, take the cat to a veterinarian for a thorough medical examination. Depending on the cat's age and condition, it might need to be spayed and treated for fleas, ear mites and other issues that cats tend to develop when outdoors.
Your cat sounds gentle enough, but some feral cats need to be confined to a safe and more manageable part of the house while they are being socialized. The organization Stray Pet Advocacy advises that you set up a dark room that is fully cat-proofed, with hiding places, food, water, toys, two litter boxes filled with organic-only potting soil, and articles of clothing that bear your scent placed in appropriate places around the room.
The cat should be allowed to stay and relax in that room for 24 hours as it gets used to feeling safe and secure indoors and around people. You can then gradually begin to play with the cat, pet it and hold it. When it seems comfortable with you and its new life, you can then allow it into the rest of your home.
Cats reach full skeletal development when they are this old:

Gaddafi wanted to unite Africa and reduce Western Influence and exploitation. The West didn't like that as Gaddafi's policies would be a massive threat to their multi-national corporations, hence they made up some lies to sell to the world and attacked Libya under the guise of a "humanitarian invasion".
I hope this explains NATO's true intentions.

If the people of libya were as content and well looked after by their great leader 'as the video
portrays' the revolts that began in the early days of this conflict would have been put down by
mass counter protests and violence in defence of gadaffi, that we never saw an outpouring
of such support for him speaks volumes.. The people of libya seemed content to sit passively
and allow the rebels a free hand to depose the regime. Revolutions do not work without popular
consent, regardless of whether you have nato helping out or not.. The idea that gadaffi was a
good leader well loved by his people is absurd

"I've tried other educational apps, but Pundits offers a uniquely personalized experience. With Pundits, I can get the help I need with my individual questions. Pundits is the app that every student dreams of having when stuck on a difficult problem."
Ryan S.
Recently, my daughter was alerted to Pundits by a friend. The process couldn't have been simpler, and most importantly, more effective than traditional tutoring. She simply logged on, found the expert she required, and received precisely the help she needed. The results were fantastic and nearly instantaneous! If only Pundits had been around ten years ago, I could've been spared countless hours of anxiety!
Monica H.
Pundits is easy to use and a real lifesaver when you get stuck on homework. You can just take a picture of each question you have and submit it. You don't even have to wait for one question to be answered before uploading another, and you can come back and view the solution anytime.
Victoria T.
Pundits is a homework help app that lets you ask real live tutors questions anytime from your phone. Stuck on a question? Just take a pic, submit it and wait for a tutor to connect with you! You'll be unstuck in no time!
Take a pic of your homework problem and submit it on our app. Within minutes, a tutor will connect with you and answer your question. Still confused? You can even talk to your tutor directly in Pundits live sessions and ask them to explain specific topics.
Don't worry! Pundits sessions are recorded and saved in your personal feed. For every question you ask, you are able to review the video of the answer at any time, as many times as you want, at no extra charge. You can even share sessions with friends!
Of course! New users get 10 minutes of free tutoring. You can also check out unlimited sessions from our library for free whenever you want.
Pundits tutors are currently answering questions in the following subjects: Algebra I, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus and Chemistry. We will be adding ACT and SAT English soon.
Our tutors are experts in their fields, and have strong teaching and/or tutoring experience.Each tutor has to pass a test in each subject they tutor in order to work with us. We only hire the best!
The first 10 minutes are free! After that, it's a dollar a minute. Our sessions are designed to be super efficient, so most questions average just 6-8 tokens, or $6-8. Harder problems, or multi-question problems take a little longer.
We created Pundits so you can save money on tutoring! Instead of spending $60-100/ week on tutors, you can spend $20 or $30, get your questions answered and rewatch the sessions anytime you need a refresher.
A lot of cheaper or free apps use search engines like Google to answer your questions, meaning, the answer may not be very helpful, clear or accurate. We pay real live humans to answer your questions and make sure that they are experts in what they're teaching.
Sometimes your teacher is really confusing. Other times, even though you understood the problem in class but can't seem to remember how to do it on your own. Pundits lets you ask a specific question that you're stuck on and we give you a step by step lesson on how to solve it so that you can do similar problems on your own. Our tutors don't just tell you the answer, and you can rely on them, no matter how few or many questions you have.
Free videos you can watch at anytime that are in the main Pundits feed! Browse other students' sessions and you just might find the answer you need without ever spending a dollar! We also have free videos on different topics like finding the area of a triangle or rationalizing fractions available on your school feed through Pundits Academy.
Pundits uses Stripe to secure payments and ensure all billing info is treated with the highest and most updated security measures. For more information on their security practices, please visit Stripe.com.
Awesome that you already have a tutor. But we know sometimes you need help when they aren't available, or when you only need five or ten minutes of their time. Instead of dealing with the hassle of scheduling, or having to wait a couple days to talk to them, you can ping our tutors and get help right away. Pundits helps you with questions anytime, anywhere. Pundits is a more affordable, more convenient and more customized tool for getting homework help and preparing for tests. Traditional tutoring requires a minimum of an hour-long session, which can cost upwards of $60/hr. It also requires transportation and scheduling, which proves cumbersome with busy parent and student schedules. With Pundits, you pay for help only with the questions you are stuck on or don't understand. You don't lose time traveling to meet with a tutor and can get help even while away from home. You can ask questions from airports, cafes, trains--wherever you are!
Yes! Our tutors are notified via text and on their iPads via push notifications whenever new questions are asked. We keep a large pool of qualified tutors to ensure that you get a timely answer to your question no matter what time you ask it.
Go to the "get tokens" link in the app. You can purchase packages directly, or send your parents a text to reload them for you! Super easy!

From a Quiet Lakeside, Inspired Music Emerges
Sheila Layter's new song Nostalgia has just been released
Castel di Casio, Emilia Romagna, Italy – February 2nd, 2016 – Melodic arrangements, mixed with the support of veteran producer Marcello Schichilone in the comfort of a lakeside home is the forte of experienced singer-songwriter Sheila Layter.
"My work is exciting, fascinating, rewarding and most of all, creatively and spiritually fulfilling," said Layter today. "My primary goal with my music is to recreate the emotions and feelings I have when composing and creating my music in others: to bring the quietness and beauty of the lakeside to even the busiest of people trapped in an urban jungle."
Layter has been performing since 2003, starting in Europe's dance clubs to the iconic music of the 60s, 70s and 80s rearranged for the dancefloor: and this musical legacy continued with Darling, recorded in both English and Japanese for record label UOTTA.
Now working through her own record label, Empire of Music, Layter's focus is on providing listeners with a peaceful, yet emotionally charged music that provides a sense of epicness.
