The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot is an astounding and thought-provoking study of the woman behind the immortal line of HeLa cells that have been invaluable to medical research since they were first cultured in 1951. Skloot takes readers on a journey through the life of Henrietta Lacks, a poor African-American tobacco farmer from Virginia, by visiting and speaking with remaining members of the Lacks family. She soon learns that Henrietta's cells were essentially "stolen" because no one in the Lacks family was ever asked if her cells could be used and replicated for research purposes, and it wasn't until decades after her death that her children discovered that "HeLa" cells were actually cultured from the very cancer cells that killed their mother.
Skloot investigates and seamlessly combines sadness, humor, family anecdotes, and scientific fact in this inspiring true story of the amazing life of the Lacks family; a family so poor and mistreated that despite their mother's cells producing great advances in medical research, they were still unable to afford medical insurance for essential medications that Henrietta's cells had in fact helped to manufacture. This book has won numerous prestigious awards and it is not at all a scientific textbook. In fact, Oprah Winfrey and HBO plan to make Henrietta's life story into a movie within the next few years! This New York Times bestseller is a true story of a family that has had a tremendous impact on the world today and I highly recommend it for anyone in the mood for an interesting and captivating read! Enjoy!

Farris Story › Inspiration › Share your story › ted's cigars ›
"My great grandparents started with nothing and lived through the Great Depression. My great grandmother helped in raising her brothers and sisters. Grandpa volunteered to go into the military during World War II in the Army Air Force (AAF). They wrote letters back and forth every day when he was in the service. Reading the letters from 70 years ago shows the special kind of love that a relationship should have. They had their own code for closing the letters and it was 1-4-3, which stood for the amount of letters in the words they were saying, 'I LOVE YOU.' After the war my grandpa took over the family business at the age of 21, after his father passed away. Him and my grandmother started with nothing and grew the business, which continues today with my uncle. My grandma always said 'I am a friend to all who like to eat.' My grandpa would say, 'Don't let someone tell you, you can't do it ... if you work hard you can do anything.'" - Andrew from McClure, PA

Former Vick dog Gracie dies
Gracie, one of more than 50 dogs rescued seven years ago from NFL quarterback Michael Vick's dog fighting compound, has died.
The black pit bull spent her final years in an adoptive household in suburban Richmond.
She died Monday morning, according to Amy McCracken, executive director of the Richmond Animal League.
"This morning, little, old, bow-legged Gracie passed away and got her angel wings. Any words we write here could never begin to express the profound, positive and lasting impact that this little, black pit bull had on so many people who encountered her or heard the story of her suffering and triumph," said a post on the animal's league's "Gracie's Guardians" Facebook page.
"We are and will be forever grateful for this little, broken black dog and everything she personified."
The dog arrived at the Richmond in 2007 and was adopted by the group's board president, Sharon Cornett.
"Gracie was very, very friendly," McCracken told CNN. Gracie had been used as a breeding dog, as opposed to a fighter, in Vick's operation, she said. "She loved people and was never aggressive to other dogs."
With her new owner, Gracie attended conferences and meetings about animal welfare and visited schools to show people they have nothing to fear from most pit bulls.
Gracie was one of about 50 pit bulls seized by authorities in April 2007 when Vick, then a quarterback with the Atlanta Falcons, was charged with operating an illegal dog-fighting ring, called Bad Newz Kennels, on his Virginia property.
Twenty-two of the dogs were sent for rehabilitation and long-term care at Best Friends Animal Society's sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, while others went to Bad Rap, a San Francisco pet shelter, and a handful of other shelters and sanctuaries,
Created by the Richmond animal shelter, Gracie's Guardians is an initiative dedicated to the welfare of pit bulls. The group chose Gracie as their namesake "in tribute to her perseverance and that of countless other pit bulls who have suffered or continue to suffer at the hands of people, yet whose spirits and love for humans remains untarnished."

Just like any expensive item, it's in your best interest to do your research on desktops prior to purchasing. This means that you should spend some time reading this article. These tips are used by professionals and will help you make wise decisions.
If you are going to be doing some upgrades to your desktop computer be sure to ground yourself before you begin working on your computer. A simple jolt of static electricity can be more than enough to fry your motherboard. If you do not ground yourself, you will be putting your whole system at risk.
Carefully look at any add-ons that come with the desktop computer that you want to buy. Many computer stores have options to purchase extra accessories. Only buy those you require. Check for pricing online to see if you can get the items cheaper. Usually, manufacturers sell them at a premium.
Measure where you plan to put your computer. It's a good idea to measure the space, horizontal and vertical that you have available for your desktop computer and compare it against the dimensions of the computer that you'd like to purchase. Some take up lots of space, while others are more diminutive. Know what you can fit into the location that you are considering.
If you want to save money when purchasing a desktop computer, consider buying a refurbished model. You can look at the websites of major computer manufacturers such as HP or Dell, where you will find great deals on computers that have been returned to the company, fixed and sold at a discount rate.
Don't overlook the quality of the desktop computer monitor when considering your purchase. The specs of the actual computer may be amazing, but if the monitor is poor, your overall experience will be bad too. Remember, it's the monitor that you'll have the most interaction with, so be willing to spend more to get one you like.
When it comes time to purchase a desktop computer, shop around. You may be surprised to find stores often have sales on computers, and sometimes, the computer you want will be at a much lower price at one store versus another store. You may even choose to look online to find which of your area stores are having sales.
Many manufacturer's no longer include all necessary documentation on paper; instead, they post it online. Check out what they have online and make sure that you are comfortable with it. Also be sure you have easy access to downloading software patches, updates and device drivers.
How much hard drive space do you need? Look at the sizes available in terms of how many photos they can hold for an easy reference. A 500GB hard drive holds 100,000 photos, for example, or the equivalent of 38 hours of video or 125,000 MP3 songs, which is more than enough for most.
If you really want to save money on a new computer, check out refurbished models or open box systems. These can typically be had at deep discounts or even fractions of the retail price of a new one. Do check out what kind of warranty and certification they come with. Ideally, you want a refurbished system that has been checked out twice.
If you want an energy-saving alternative, consider a mini PC. They operate with less electricity usage, and normally have enough power to get many tasks accomplished. Anyone who is looking for a desktop computer to complete basic tasks should consider getting one of these smaller, less expensive models.
Try not to get involved in waiting for lower prices. Many people watch for deals before buying a computer. But they do not act, since they are always looking for a better price. Computer deals aren't normally huge, so if you find something good, just buy it.
Refurbished computers are a great choice when looking for an inexpensive machine. You know that they will work well as they have been rigorously tested before being offered for sale. On top of that, they often come with upgrades which make them as good as new devices on the market.
RAM, or memory, is basically how much muscle a computer has. It is also one of the cheapest and easiest upgrades you can ever hope to do. Sometimes, it's cheaper to buy a system with a little bit of RAM and then upgrade up to a higher number by adding more RAM yourself.
Be really smart when shopping for a budget computer. Computers are often expensive. There are many great deals, but you ought to know what requirements a desktop has to have for your needs. Look into the hardware offered. The computer has to have both performance and affordability.
It's crucial to make a good decision when choosing a desktop. This article has pointed you in the right direction, you just have to follow its lead. Following each tip will lead you to the computer that has all of the elements you need it to have.

Ballarat Secondary College
Presentations update.
Well my presentation is done. Wish I could be as clear as some of my students who recently participated in the "Peter Doherty Science Awards". One group won the communication award!
Participating in writing reports in google+ has given them the chance to share and evaluate each other's writing. I did forget to mention this in our presentation, and I'm really proud of the ways they were able to communicate both online, but also in the classroom, using technology, but only were it was appropriate. Both teams expressed their "Curiosity and Wonder" by conducting simple experiments, things they "always wanted to learn about" from primary school.
Where to next?
20/11 To finish off the unit, I'm going to have students get onto the community and attempt to put down some "posts". Basically about anything "science related" that they think others would like to know about. Do a little research, and make a comment as a post to share with the community.
Some student feedback. 16/11
Using Google+ for writing science reports
Will discuss this at the presentation on Friday.
Nearly at the end of the Road.
With my Year 10's preparing for exams in the next few weeks, and the last of the prac reports completed, we will be moving away from our faithful friend (both loved and hated), Google+. I know that some students have enjoyed using it, and it has been good for some students to get their Prac's reported on, but for others it has been far less useful. Would like to collect some feedback to share with you all.
We're Cooking with Gas.
We are finally getting in the groove. Students have inserted graphs into the documents, and are using the table function too. Less moans and groans about using Google+, and some students now just using old fashioned pen and paper.
Those that choose to, are really finding it good, and particularly some of the challenging boys who rarely want to get involved and write up their experiments anyway.
Today we had the first person try to "change someone's results", as you can in a shared document. This idea was whisked away, at the thought that re-entering data could be tedious.
Generally, the experiments are doing well, and we are able to distribute information efficiently too. I'm not sure that the outcomes for practical work are better for all, but it allows more time, as prac's are quicker to write up collaboratively, and as such there is also quite a bit more talking about what is being recorded, and discussion.
Signing off from another day in the Lab.
Playing with cars and technology…
The first experiment involved using toy cars to model the forces on real cars, when travelling on a slope, on smooth and rough surfaces, and carrying additional weight. Students were to design an experiment using rulers, toy cars and stopwatches, to calculate the average speed for each condition.
While the experiment was fine, we had some teething problems with google docs, as I had set up sharing with the class community, but didn't manage to enable them to edit it. When the settings were finally changed on the fly (I had to read the "help" during the lesson), Students were able to begin writing into the document. Not much written down, so hoping they recorded their results in pen/paper form at least.
Will try again next week.
BTW. Two girls in the class, totally lost the plot and went off to see the AP about me using and getting them to post their work online. Wish they had talked with me first, rather than jumping to conclusions, b/c the only people who can see their work is their classmates that are signed into the community. Fortunately the AP was supportive, and is keen to have us try new technology, explaining to the girls that at uni, lots of work is done and submitted online, and that this truly is a future learning need.
In the last week of term 2 I was a bit disheartened, when one of my students was adamant that "My dad won't let me use google+, so I can't go on it" when questioned, he made some comments about his Dad not wanting to contact me about it. Got a few grizzles from others who have already set up (in the past), google+ accounts, and were not very excited about using it in school.
Term 4 week one, that was a bit of a let down too, when issues with the network stopped us accessing the internet, just as we were going to get logged on, but today was quite good!!!
9 students now logged into google+ with accounts, and all 9 are now on the BSCW Science 10C Community! (including the aforementioned reluctant student). Tomorrow we begin to use the google documents I have added links to on the community. We start with a simple experiment, will just have to make sure that one person logged on is in each group.

San Clemente pride is always in my heart but once a year the ocean festival comes and makes me feel like I live in the best city ever. The Ocean festival was born the same year I was. One of my first memories is me wearing my navy one piece with a rainbow on it, digging for sand crabs and holding Shawna's hand while we jumped over the waves. You never know, someday Colin may have the same love for San Clemente We do and look back and remember wearing blue surf trunks, digging for sand crabs and jumping in the waves with me.

Namaste! I have always loved exotic flavors and wanted to learn how to cook Indian food and learn how to use all the yummy spices . I did a trade with a friend, private cooking lessons for a photo shoot,,, (Don't tell her I got the better end of the deal) What a sweet treat, the most endearing person who happens to be the best cook ever has taught me and my mom how to cook Indian food. Cooking Indian food is not like I'm used too, there are no measuring tools and the spices are so fragrant and colorful. I will test my skills at our next "Waco Wednesday" … my whole family meets every Wednesday for diner (used to be taco Tuesday…. hence the Waco Wednesday..
27/52.. Magic Rocks, a fire boat and a boy
Posted in Weekly project on July 9, 2010| Leave a Comment »
The 4th of July is magical! We went to the harbor to play with Brett and his family on the boat, then went to daddy's fire boat to have dinner with the other fire families and watch the show front and center on the boat! Colin threw his Magic rocks in the water from the deck and called out what ever color he wanted, (The beauty of these magic rocks is you can call out a dud if yours "doesn't "work, or better yet, there is bound to be the color of choice within 30 seconds)
Colin after throwing the magic rocks" DAD! My dreams do really come true!"

We have a five year old?! Fabulous fun with his friends, goldfish, cotton candy, caramel apples and games. As a parent you have this annoying ability to pull out every cliché known to man, I'm no exception, here are a string of clichés I said about 100 times that day… here I go, He grew like a weed, Time flies, He looks like a spitting image of his daddy, We love you more than the whole world…
8:30 am July 3 Colin~ "I don't feel five yet, I still feel 4"
4:00pm July 3rd "ok Mom….. I feel 5 now"
Thank you God for choosing us to raise this amazing boy

The New 76ers Uniforms May Not Be That New, But At Least They Do Not Suck (Pics)
On Wednesday night the Los Angeles Clippers unveiled their new logo and uniforms. On Thursday night it was the Philadelphia 76ers' turn. And while the former went with a fairly significant overhaul, the latter opted for a relatively subtle tweak.
This may leave some 76ers fans hoping for a totally new look feeling a little disappointed. But take it from Clippers fans—a subtle positive change is way better than a drastic negative change. Cause man, those Clippers uniforms suck.
Of course, the Sixers had already released their new, ever-so-slightly updated primary logo:
But like I said, it could be worse. At least the Sixers didn't pull a Clippers.

McGraw Hill Financial is a world well-known provider of financial data and analytics. Company is an owner of S&P brand (indices, rating agency). Company was founded in 1917. Company is divided into four business units:
More than 65% of revenues are generated in U.S.
Portfolio of clients is gradually changing in good direction. Corporates stand for 48% of revenues. In 2007 around 44% was for structured finance (now 12%).
Business is probably in the best condition ever. I don't like buying shares when everything is awesome and financial prospects can only deteriorate…
It is worth to notice, that some revenues in S&P Ratings Services are recurring and some are transaction related (around 50/50). With good situation on stock market results are significantly higher than during bear market. Moreover if we look in 2007-2009 share price dropped a lot. This was due to low credibility of rating agencies after giving AAA ratings to junk financial products.
As it comes to financials (estimates):
Market cap ~ $24B
Net debt ~$2B
Payout ratio ~30%
Beta = 1.06
Dividend yield 1.7% + buyback, together in 2015 around $1.3b, 5.4% returned to shareholders.
Estimated valuation ratios:
McGraw Hill Financial (MHFI) is one of The Dividend Aristocrats with history of increasing dividend payments since 1974 year. Currently dividend yield is around 1.7% – nothing special. Historically in 2009 DY was above 4% and in years 2010-2013 above 2%, so for me 1.7% is simply far too low dividend yield.
Drawdown risk analysis:
A decline since July is about 20+%. It is quite a lot, nevertheless historically shares were falling even as much as 40-60%. For me current valuation is still high and dividend yield is low. I think 40% drawdown would be a special occasion, which means shares traded at $65 levels last seen in 2012 year.
Summing up, MHFI is a cyclical business and I think it is not a good time to build position. I will wait for bear to come and give me more discount to share price.
Disclaimer MHFI – no position
