Lucy Powell MP for Manchester Central and one of the sponsors of an amendment to the Children and Families Bill at Committee stage to improve care and support for young carers has commented on a Government Written Ministerial Statement this morning on young carers. Lucy Powell MP said:
"I welcome this news from Edward Timpson MP on changes in the law to improve assessment and support of young carers. When I called for changes to the Children and Families Bill alongside Robert Buckland MP and Annette Brooke MP earlier in the year the Government weren't prepared to listen. It is good news for young carers across the country and a testament to the campaigning work of the National Young Carers Coalition that the Government have thought twice.
We know that young carers face a tough start in life, sometimes disadvantaged by their caring roles. This new amendment to the Children and Families Bill will create real protections for young people with a caring role helping them to have a childhood and receive the right care and support to reduce their caring roles. We now need to see a step change in the identification and support for young carers across the board so that schools, the health service, voluntary organisations and local authorities can make a difference for young carers futures."

Given the snowy conditions out there you might not be thinking about your spring wardrobe just yet, but fashion waits for no man and what better distraction from the ensuing chaos than some internet shopping? ASOS are fully stocked for summer, with some great options in chambray and seersucker.
Real men wear denim shirts
The latest Buck magazine hit the stands last Friday and amongst its Gallic-themed pages is a great piece on the importance of denim this S/S. Highlighting the same Acne/Lanvin collaboration I've been talking about here recently it seems that there's nothing to stop a full on indigo revolution once the sun finally breaks out.

When even River Island is doing short shorts you know a trend has hit the mainstream. They're a wallet-pleasing £21 which is the right price for trying something out

EARLVILLE The Village of Earlville has approved a tentative budget for the 2009/2010 tax year, one that proposes a levy decrease from last year.
Earlvilles projected budget totaled $393,441 last year. The proposed budget for next year totals $390,844.
Despite a $3.4 million water system improvement project, scheduled to take place this year, Earlvilles budget contains no increase in water rates. No programs were cut from this years budget, although funding for many items was decreased to save money.
As you can see by the budget, we made it a priority to not raise taxes this year. There is a very modest decrease in the tax levy, but the most important element of the budget is that we have provisions for the water project, for a new pumper truck, maintenance of the many activities that we started last year, and we still kept the tax levy flat, said Mayor Toni Campbell.

Recipe by Eric Wells, Chef and Owner of Skye LaRae's Culinary Services
Sautéed Collard Greens
2 ½ pounds collard greens
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup pancetta, diced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon shallots, minced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Remove and discard stems and center ribs of collard greens. Cut leaves into 1-inch pieces. In a kettle of boiling water cook collards 15 minutes and drain in a colander, pressing out excess liquid with back of a wooden spoon. Roll the greens as if you are rolling a cigar and cut across making small ribbons, or chiffonade.
In a 12-inch heavy non-stick skillet, heat butter and oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides and stir in pancetta, garlic, shallots, collards, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté collard mixture, stirring, until heated through, about 8-10 minutes.
Top collards with lemon zest.
Yield 4 servings.

In the spring of 1991, Aboriginal students formed a collective to discuss issues, provide support, and organize events and campaigns around Aboriginal issues. The collective is comprised of any self-identifying First Nations students who are members of the Capilano Students' Union.

Collective meetings are held regularly throughout the semester in the First Nations lounge; please look for our posters around campus to find out the meeting times.
The First Nations Students Collective gives members the chance to make the First Nations Lounge and Capilano University a better place for students.

Book Buzz: 'Joy of Cooking' is now an app
Now you can experience the Joy of Cooking digitally.
The classic cookbook is being released as an app for iPad for the first time, publisher Scribner says. The app will feature the cookbook in its entirety plus a wealth of app-only features including a search function, smart shopping lists and recipe steps that are spoken aloud and voice-controlled by the user. It even has a red ribbon bookmark built in.
The Joy of Cooking was first published in 1931 and is listed by the Library of Congress as "one of the 88 books that helped shape America."
The great-grandson of Joy author Irma Rombauer, John Becker, and his wife, Megan Scott, assisted in the app's creation. It is now available in the Apple App store for $9.99.
The Joy of Cooking has been updated over the years, including a 75th Anniversary Edition in 2006.

Anyways, I learned some valuable lessons last weekend. Number one: Reading is hard because TV. I'm sorry, professor, I understand that I was supposed to start reading chapter 10 of the Intro to Film book, but the TV was staring at me and how could I say no to just one little tiny short six hour marathon of America's Next Top Model? I couldn't do it; I gave in. (Heads up, I didn't try that hard to resist the temptation.) The second lesson that I've learned is that when thinking to myself "Maybe I should cook something," the appropriate response is always "DON'T." Nothing good could possibly come out of this. Here's where my traumatizing experience began. Bestfriend and I decided "Hey, let's make some homemade mac & cheese to go with this mysterious chicken we found in the freezer." Good start, already, I know.
So we find this mac & cheese recipe with the pasta, and it seems good and legit, so we take out the salt, and pepper and dried mustard (by the way, have you SEEN dried mustard? It looks like cat vomit, guys! STAY AWAY!) and all this other shit, and put it in the pan. Then we pour in the milk. Oh WAIT, we were supposed to pour in the milk GRADUALLY? Shoot. So I was all "I'm sure it'll be fine, just mix it really well," and a minute later, Bestfriend is all "Hey, all this other stuff is stuck to the bottom of the pan, and it smells like it's burning." I tried to scrape it off the bottom of the pan while telling Bestfriend, "It's fine!" Bestfriend grated some cheese, which may I add, was the wrong kind (we used two kinds, and both of them were WRONG), and it got stuck in the damn cheese grater and EVERYTHING. DAMN IT. I had to mix the two kinds of cheese together, which absolutely enraged Bestfriend
So we stupidly decided to continue trying to make this mac & cheese, and poured the burning-glue-and-milk-and-cat-vomit mixture into the other pan with the already cooked pasta in it. Yeah, Bestfriend and I destroyed one of the pans. GUESS WHICH ONE. Nevermind, I'll tell you, since I know you're all dying to know. It was the one with the burnt-milk-dried-mustard-cat-vomit shit in it. Dried mustard burns really fast and it really sticks to the bottom of a pan, I found out. So we poured our sad attempt at mac & cheese into a glass pan, put some more cheese over it, and put it in the oven for 30 minutes or something. Halfway through, I looked in the oven and asked Bestfriend if it was supposed to be bubbling, to which she replied "I don't KNOW, Sara, IS IT?" She wasn't very happy with me at this point, after the mixing-the-cheese-together-in-a-cup-with-a-knife ordeal. Ugh, WHATEVER.
Our mac & cheese was a failure. If you were wondering what it tasted like, you should probably stop wondering, because

Katy Perry Can Tell You How To Get To 'Sesame Street' Now That She's Filmed A Cameo On The Hit Kids Show!
Yes, you read that correctly! The girl who sings about kissing girls is going to appear on PBS' iconic children's program!
We wonder what, exactly, Katy Perry is going to teach the kiddies when she makes a cameo on PBS' Sesame Street later this year? Will it be the difference between 'hot and cold' or why it's OK to 'kiss a girl and like it?'
The 25-year-old singer filmed her episode on March 18 and posted these photos to her Twitter page the following day, March 19. "The best thing bout filming @sesamestreet 2day was the Oscar the Grouch snuggie!! I'll b VERY GROUCHY in this!" Katy tweeted.
Of her photo with Elmo she wrote, "Sunny day today! I think I'm in lurv. I mean, someone gotta werk that streeeet!!! (sic)"
My, my, Katy. What will your fiancé, Russell Brand, have to say about THAT?

The TAC is running out of funds to supply humanitarian relief to the approximately 5 000 displaced persons living in city and community halls and camps in the Western Cape. As of 30 July 2008 the TAC had spent R 2,744,891.50 on direct humanitarian assistance. The amount to date is now closer to R 2,900,000.00. The Joint Operation Centre (with both Provincial and City representatives) is still unable or unwilling to meet the basic needs of those displaced. This is especially concerning in the case of women and children and in particular those at smaller shelters which receive no government assistance. We have notified the JOC, Province and City that we will be unable to provide aid beyond Monday 11 August 2008. However, it appears that we will run short of funds even before this date. In addition we are concerned that urgent humanitarian intervention may need to be made in various instances after Monday 11 August.
We appeal to all members of the public to make cash donations to the TAC for this purpose. These may be made into our bank account – click "donate" above for the details. Alternatively material donations can be delivered to a store room opposite our national offices which is located at 122 Long Market Street. The most urgent needs are: baby food, baby formula, nappies, sanitary towels, toiletries, toilet paper, soap, washing powder, dry goods such as meilie-pap, rice, canned food and other non-perishables.
A full reconciliation of our expenditure thus far will be viewable on this site by no later that Friday 8 August 2008.
We would like to thank all those who have donated: individuals, business and donors. An equal thanks to those who have donated their time and energy.
Donations of ANY amount are valuable. Click here to donate.

This tasty dish goes just as well with hot Chapatis as it does with plain boiled rice. Throw in a salad or a veggie and you've got the perfect vegetarian meal!
What You'll Need

Darfur Aid Architecture
As part of the Darfur Joint Assessment Mission (DJAM), the United Nations and the World Bank were asked to consider options for the coordination and funding of the recovery effort, based on an assessment of needs and context, initial discussions with counterparts and best practice and experience from around the world.
The proposed aid architecture for the Darfur recovery effort will recognise the importance of the overarching governance of the effort, the need for country ownership, as well as a coherent approach to financing modalities.
The draft proposed aid architecture was presented at the International Donor Conference for Reconstruction and Recovery in Darfur that took place in Doha, Qatar from 7-8 April 2013. For further documentation please refer to Section IV of Developing Darfur: A Recovery and Reconstruction Strategy.

A volume in International Perspectives on Educational Policy, Research, and Practice Series Editor: Kathryn M. Borman, University of South Florida This book is a defense of linguistic pluralism and language policies and practices in education that sustain that ideal. Educational meanings and models are influenced by different populations and different social and historical contexts. International comparisons can shed interesting light on the issues. Therefore, the purpose of the book is to provide scholars an international comparative understanding of language policy, its relation to educational practice, and current debates within the field. The book is divided into three sections dealing with the general topical areas of policy, practice, and controversy. This book will be of interest to policy-makers, scholars, and graduate students in the areas of bilingual education, language policy, and sociolinguistics.[Globalization and exploitation of linguistic resources: Challenges for the francophone communities of Ontario] . ...

Thank you for being interested in my writing. I'm always delighted to hear from readers, and if you have questions or comments, please post them on my Facebook page or write to me directly. I look forward to hearing from you.
I have two published novels, FEBRUARY FLOWERS, a coming-of-age story of two Chinese university students, and BEAUTIFUL AS YESTERDAY, a story of mother-daughter relationship set in the San Francisco Bay Area.
My new novel, SONG OF THE DAISIES, is nearly completed after five years of researching, writing and editing. It's about a young woman in the States, when called back to her native China by the arrival of a mysterious letter, must deal with her estranged father's illness, investigate her brother's death, and ultimately confront the demons of her past.
I have published many short stories, essays, book reviews on leading publications, such as Granta and The San Francisco Chronicle. Inspired by my two children, I've recently started to write stories for children.
Please visit my blog, where I write about my reading, writing, and China, my birth country.
Facebook ⁄ INSTAGRAM ⁄ Amazon
"Fan Wu is an exciting storyteller with an original take on the disarray of family history and American culture, and, ultimately, how we manage to define ourselves. BEAUTIFUL AS YESTERDAY is a story with intelligence, insight, and heart."
– Amy Tan, bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club
"A book for the new millennium. Told half way between here and there, BEAUTIFUL AS YESTERDAY holds a mirror to America as much as it tells us about contemporary China…Fan Wu tells tales of modern Chinese women without mythologizing or romanticizing their lives. Her stories are foreign and familiar all at once, her writing beautiful and spirited…"
– Sandra Cisneros, bestselling author of House on Mango Street
"Full of mystery and misunderstanding…perfectly poignant."
– The Independent (UK)
"Characters, plot, and Chinoiserie combine in a debut novel (FEBRUARY FLOWERS) that shines…animated by unforgettable characters, and infused with emotional honesty, Fan Wu's first novel is moving, sexy, and impossible to put down. Her style is deceptively simple, her prose confident, clear and precise…a brilliant debut."
– The Bulletin (Australia)
A fresh, original work that strikes a fine balance between intimacy and restraint, and shatters several stereotypes along the way.
– The Asian Review of Books
"Not a comfortable read, but nevertheless full of vitality, and an insight into a world very different from ours."
– The Oxford Times
"This novel (BEAUTIFUL AS YESTERDAY) explores the consequences of trapping one family between two nations. Placidly paced, and eschewing claims to grandeur, the story traces familial and cultural values as they transfer between generations and geography."
– San Francisco Chronicle
"An original and unforgettable story. Just like the flowers referred to in the title, Fan Wu's novel is brimming with passion, vitality, and hope. The girls in this book are the daughters and granddaughters of The Good Women of China, and are products of the society both modern, expansive, and communistically introvert."
– Xinran, author of The Good Women of China
"A novel that takes us inside contemporary China by a keen-eyed Chinese writer who knows English inside out. "
– Alan Cheuse, author of The Light Possessed and The Fires
"a novel that turns its eye away from imagined audiences and keeps it trained on the story at hand…the ease with which it (the novel) shakes off the voiceover of memoir, with all its intonations of latterly won wisdom, and enters the past as it was lived, in real-time and without the props of hindsight.

Security Manager's Journal: Did DLP tool prevent an assault?
The plain view doctrine allows law enforcement officials to seize, without a search warrant, evidence or contraband perceptible during a lawful observation. As an example, if a police officer who is exercising a warrant to search a house for illegal weapons sees drugs on the kitchen counter, in plain sight, then the officer can confiscate the illegal drugs and charges could be filed, even though the search was for weapons.
Trouble Ticket
DLP monitor instigates an investigation that uncovers what seems to be an employee's plan to attack his wife's lover.Action plan: Bring the evidence to HR and Legal and go from there.
I mention this doctrine because it intersects to a certain extent with a company policy that states that employees have no expectation of privacy when using company computers and networks. We are basically saying that we will judge anything on them as being in plain view.
This policy is what allows my analysts to monitor network activity for security breaches and other illegal activity. Naturally, we are mostly interested in detecting attempts to leak any sensitive company information. To that end, we have indexed a fairly small set of key documents for our data loss prevention (DLP) tool to look for.
But we also look for certain number sequences and keywords suggesting credit card numbers, Social Security numbers or other personally identifiable information, and we look for keywords that might indicate illegal activity such as downloading child pornography. That's because we don't want to be surprised someday with a search warrant that could disrupt our business and result in some bad press for us. It's better to be on top of such things and alert law enforcement anytime we come across anything suspicious.
And sometimes we do find something. The other day, one of my analysts sent me data he was investigating that suggested someone in the company might be involved with child pornography. Our DLP monitor had flagged some traffic containing keywords that we had included in the rules we use to turn up anything that might be related to such activity. Soon enough, we found out that this wasn't a child pornography case, but something else that we needed to bring to the attention of law enforcement.
The analyst had uncovered an instant-messaging chat between one of our employees and someone from outside the company. The chat rather baldly outlined a conspiracy between the two men to assault a third man that our employee suspected was having an affair with his wife. In that conversation, our employee discussed a plan to use his wife's cellphone to text the man and persuade him to visit a park for what he thought would be a meeting with the employee's wife. At the appointed time and place, the two conspirators would attack him.

text: 3 Questions Your Social Profiles Should Answer I came across an article by Hiroshi Mikitani, a LinkedIn Influencer. His article, "3 Secrets of Global Branding," explains simply how large, global brands maintain a consistent image. They do this by answering these three questions: Who are you? What do you do? Where are you going?These are great questions for large and small businesses to answer to keep a consistent image, both to prospects and to internal employees. But, these are also really crucial questions for individuals to answer on their own personal social profiles. LinkedIn is the first social profile you'd think of to answer these questions on since it is all about your professional self, but don't discount the importance of your other profiles. Being consistent across all your social profiles will greatly improve your credibility.So, what are these questions actually asking?Who are you?This is a personal question. Don't jump straight to what you do professionally—that's the next question. This question is more about what makes you different from others who do the same thing you do. So, if you've been told that you're super understanding or that you're an incredibly hard-worker, say that. If family is a huge part of your life, make that known in your profile. If you're one of those crazy people that runs 8 miles at 5:00am, again, point that out. When someone asks who you are, pick out those qualities or characteristics that has given you a competitive advantage over others. I really enjoy Gary Vaynerchuck's way of answering who he is (and what he does) on his Twitter profile:On LinkedIn, your personal description would fit well in the Summary section. On Facebook and Twitter, these qualities or characteristics are shown more through your activity—your photos, your status updates/tweets and the content you share. However, you should follow Gary's lead and include at least some of this information in the short summary section on Twitter.What do you do?Now you can say who you are professionally. This is more than listing duties or tasks you've accomplished. With each position you've held or current hold, explain how you made an impact in that position. This will further explain what you actually did beyond a list of tasks you accomplished. If you increased sales by 50% last quarter, definitely list that. In that case, it's likely that you listed you're an incredibly hard-worker in the "who are you" section. Who you are and what you do tend to fit hand-in-hand.LinkedIn is an especially good place to list all of the previous positions you've held in the Experience section. Also, include your current position title in your headline. This time, I'll use myself as an example (since Gary Vaynerchuck's LinkedIn and Facebook profiles are more robust). The image to the right is an example of how your current position is featured on LinkedIn vs. Facebook. On Facebook and Twitter, these titles are sometimes listed as part of a person's profile, such as in the About section on Facebook. Twitter doesn't have a specific section for employment information, but some people have their professional title in the short summary section.Where are you going?This is a big question. You should answer this question from a personal standpoint and from a professional one. First, it's a question about your goals. What current or future goals are you working towards, and where will those goals take you? For some, this might be opening your own agency. What goals are you working towards to achieve that? Listing these goals and aspirations in your profiles shows that you're always working for something greater and that you care about growth in your professional and personal life.The LinkedIn Summary section is a great place to briefly state your current or future goals. It makes more sense to put your professional goals on LinkedIn, while more personal goals, such as running a 5K, are shown on Facebook and Twitter. Again, goals on Facebook and Twitter become apparent in the things you share, rather than in list form like they are on LinkedIn.What do you get out of this?Once you've answered these three questions on your profiles, you'll have a comprehensive presentation of yourself. With this, prospects will be able to immediately see how you can help them. Plus, especially in the insurance industry, clients now want to have a more personal relationship with their agents; they want to know they can come to them for advice. Putting a little more effort into your social profiles goes a long way in showing prospects and clients what you can offer them.To get started, check out this infographic on how to get the most out of your LinkedIn profile.

PSN Pass To Be Used In All Future Sony Releases?
By now most of you will be aware of "PSN Pass" and what it means to you as a gamer. It's inclusion in Resistance 3 means that those gamers currently getting stuck into the game will already have come across Sony's latest method to combat re-sales. Now it looks like you had better get used to it, because it seems it isn't going anywhere.
If you buy all your games new then PSN pass really won't make a difference to the way you play. EA has incorporated a similar system in their games of late and it basically consists of an online pass that is included in the boxed game to enable you to play their titles online. The problem comes if you decide to buy the game pre-owned, as the pass is one time use.
Uncharted 3 is predictably the next SCEA title to use the pass, with the company telling Destructoid that; "Online Pass will be incorporated into Uncharted 3 and future Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios games with online functionality. We will provide further information in the future." What do you make of the decision? Is it a fair way for games company's to retain lost revenue? Or is it a rip-off in these tight economic times where you may want to save a few dollars by getting a second-hand copy of a game? As usual sound off below.

Switched at Birth Review: Let The Dust SettleCarissa Pavlica at . Updated at . Comments
There is so much stress starting out on Switched at Birth Season 3, and it breaks my heart.
There were definitely a few bright spots on Switched at Birth Season 3 Episode 1, but it's pretty apparent the people we've come to love will spend a bit more time on the bottom before finding their way back toward some sort of happiness.
Senior year at Carlton isn't going to be anything like what Daphne and Bay expected. They may have won the battle to keep the school open, but the students that have made their way to their hallowed halls are seemingly the leftovers that other schools wouldn't accept.
It's not only a raw deal for the deaf kids who were hoping to maintain at least some of their academic freedom, but those that are making their way there feel like they're not only with misfits, but a bunch of fellow losers, if the new girl was right in her assessment when she made her feelings known to Daphne. Sadly, when Natalie discussed their experiences with mainstreaming in Switched at Birth Season 2 Episode 9, she was right. They didn't get good students to mix with the deaf, but the outcasts.
My guess is that the relationship between the confrontational girl and Daphne is being set up a bit like that of Bay and Natalie in Switched at Birth Season 2 -- once they find some common ground and drop their guard a little bit, they'll end up as friends. Perhaps while playing field hockey.
Bay is still hurting from her break with Ty; something she hasn't shared with anyone. Regina guessed it, but Bay didn't tell her the truth about it. The one thing that Bay was looking forward to was art class, and when Carlton had to skimp on an art teacher, Melody introduced her to the college course elective where Bay met a new friend named Miles, or Tank -- take your pick.
I liked the continuity of Bay running into Mary Beth at college and learning she was still dating Travis. Mary Beth almost told Bay the true reason Ty broke up with her, but instead Bay got drunk and almost made a mistake by hooking up with a dude named Cliff (in true drunk fashion, she called him Ledge -- I still have a list of dudes with false names like that, sorry guys!), and we learned Tank has a heart of gold when he saved her from herself. Awwww.
Daphne was not only struggling with the new hard-asses at Carlton, but when she started her community service, she discovered a lot of the kids with whom she would be working had been kicked out of their homes by their parents and got the idea John would do the same to her.
What she did was definitely a bad thing, and it will take time to repair the damage she did to the new bond she created with her birth father, but it's kind of sad to think she didn't know him well enough to know he wouldn't toss her into the streets for what she had done. All she had to do was look at the many mistakes Toby and Bay made along the way to know she's going to be just fine.
Kathryn is really struggling with, well, everything. She went to a psychiatrist and started to open up, but instead of listening as a psychologist might have, he just prescribed her medication. She met a new friend, starting taking tap lessons and lying to John. There will come a moment when he sees her pills and it all comes crumbling down. Maybe she and Daphne can hit the streets together.
I had such high hopes for John after Switched at Birth Season 2 Episode 15, when he had his close call with death. I thought for certain he would treat people differently after realizing what life could have been like, but it didn't take him long at all to fall right back into his old ways. If anything, the people around him seem to be suffering more after what they went through because of their expectations of life after his heart attack.
It seems Angelo has run out of money. Unless I'm mistaken, a $5 million award, after taxes, isn't going to leave you that much. Let's say on a good day it's about $3 million (although I think that's too generous, this IS TV). He's building a swanky house on purchased property, he sent Regina to rehab, he spent a lot of money trying to find his baby and if the chick who called about the restaurant is right, he's already spent almost $2 million on that money trap. Oh. My. God.
It's no wonder he freaked when Regina finally took him up on the offer to starting sharing in their windfall of cash. It's gone! He did back down and say an investment in her was a wonderful thing, but where is he going to get the cash? What bad things is he going to get himself into to try to make a quick buck?
The chick who took over for his business partner is obviously a money grubber, as she said she would just buy him out, but then said he could just write two checks for what sounded like $350k each for new stoves. I don't know where she's shopping, but he needs to get a handle on it quick.
The last thing of note is Toby is at home without Nikki. I didn't quite catch where she was, but they're intent on making their marriage work, although it seems strange that he's not in college if she's off ... where?
Melody told John just to let the dust settle with regard to the new stuff going down at Carlton. They're all going to need to take that advice when they discover everything else happening in their lives.
Let's talk about the two moms. Who's going to have a harder time?
It was nice to have the gang back. What did you guys think of the season premiere? Chat about it in the comments!

|Polycomb proteins are epigenetic regulators that localize to developmental loci in the early embryo where they mediate lineage-specific gene repression. In Drosophila, these repressors are recruited to sequence elements by DNA binding proteins associated with Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2). However, the sequences that recruit PRC2 in mammalian cells have remained obscure. To address this, we integrated a series of engineered bacterial artificial chromosomes into embryonic stem (ES) cells and examined their chromatin. We found that a 44 kb region corresponding to the Zfpm2 locus initiates de novo recruitment of PRC2. We then pinpointed a CpG island within this locus as both necessary and sufficient for PRC2 recruitment. Based on this causal demonstration and prior genomic analyses, we hypothesized that large GC-rich elements depleted of activating transcription factor motifs mediate PRC2 recruitment in mammals. We validated this model in two ways. First, we showed that a constitutively active CpG island is able to recruit PRC2 after excision of a cluster of activating motifs. Second, we showed that two 1 kb sequence intervals from the Escherichia coli genome with GC-contents comparable to a mammalian CpG island are both capable of recruiting PRC2 when integrated into the ES cell genome. Our findings demonstrate a causal role for GC-rich sequences in PRC2 recruitment and implicate a specific subset of CpG islands depleted of activating motifs as instrumental for the initial localization of this key regulator in mammalian genomes.

What is Psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis is a comprehensive approach to man's mind and his inner world. It was founded by Sigmund Freud at the beginning of the 20th century and has continued to develop since then. It has three interrelated components:
research, theory, and treatment.
Psychoanalysis regards the mind as including an unconscious and irrational part, which exerts much influence and plays a major role in determining our functioning. Man's development, from birth onward, is fashioned by his innate drives, his internal capacities, and his deep relationships with the significant others. His inner world, created through these reciprocal influences, provides the key for the understanding of human experience and behavior, with all its richness, complexity and suffering.
, as in many other countries, the psychoanalytic society incorporates psychoanalysts and maintains a Psychoanalytic Institute that provides psychoanalytic training. The Israel Psychoanalytic Society is affiliated with the International Psychoanalytic Association, which is charged with overseeing worldwide relationships, development and standing of psychoanalysis, and with the setting of standards for psychoanalytic training.

Perfectly Reasonable Deviations from the Beaten Track: The Letters of Richard P. Feynman
Great scientists come in two varieties, which Isaiah Berlin, quoting the seventh-century-BC poet Archilochus, called foxes and hedgehogs. Foxes know many tricks, hedgehogs only one. Foxes are interested in everything, and move easily from one problem to another. Hedgehogs are interested only in a few problems which they consider fundamental, and stick with the same problems for years or decades. Most of the great discoveries are made by hedgehogs, most of the little discoveries by foxes. Science needs both hedgehogs and foxes for its healthy growth, hedgehogs to dig deep into the nature of things, foxes to explore the complicated details of our marvelous universe. Albert Einstein was a hedgehog; Richard Feynman was a fox.
Many readers of The New York Review of Books are more likely to have encountered Feynman as a story-teller, for example in his book Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!,1 than as a scientist. Not many are likely to have read his great textbook The Feynman Lectures on Physics,2 which was a best seller among physicists but was not intended for the general public. Now we have a collection of his letters, selected and edited by his daughter, Michelle. The letters do not tell us much about his science. For readers who are not scientists, it is important to understand that foxes may be as creative as hedgehogs. Feynman happened to be young at a time when there were great opportunities for foxes. The hedgehogs, Einstein and his followers at the beginning of the twentieth century, had dug deep and found new foundations for physics. When Feynman came onto the scene in the middle of the century, the foundations were firm and the universe was wide open for foxes to explore.
One of the few letters in the collection that discusses Feynman's science was written to his former student Koichi Mano. It describes the fox's way of working:
I have worked on innumerable problems that you would call humble, but which I enjoyed and felt very good about because I sometimes could partially succeed…. The development of shock waves in explosions. The design of a neutron counter…. General theory of how to fold paper to make a certain kind of child's toy (called flexagons). The energy levels in the light nuclei. The theory of turbulence (I have spent several years on it without success). Plus all the "grander" problems of quantum theory.
No problem is too small or too trivial if we can really do something about it.
"The 'grander' problems of quantum theory" were only one item in a long list of Feynman's activities.
The phrase "the 'grander' problems of quantum theory" refers to the great work for which he received a Nobel Prize in 1965: inventing the pictorial view of nature which he called "the space-time approach." This work began in 1947 as a modest enterprise, to calculate…

Projected declines in copper prices and high competition among suppliers will help keep motherboard price growth low.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 23, 2014
Computer motherboards have a buyer power score of 3.6 on a 5-point scale. This score reflects relatively positive market conditions for buyers, though there are some limitations on purchasing power. Prices for motherboards have increased moderately in recent years due to rising input costs, according to market research firm IBISWorld. The price of copper, in particular, has experienced large spikes, forcing manufacturers to raise prices. Labor costs have also been rising. Although most manufacturing of motherboards takes place overseas in countries with lower labor costs, these countries have experienced rising wages in recent years, pushing prices up. Fortunately for buyers, prices for semiconductors and electronic components are decreasing, helping to partially offset the input costs that are rising. Over the next three years, motherboard prices are forecast to rise at a slower pace due to projected declines in copper prices.
The upstream supply chain for computer motherboards experiences some volatility that creates greater risk for buyers. Says IBISWorld, volatile copper and precious metal prices can cause purchasing costs to fluctuate unpredictably for manufacturers; however, final product prices are not as volatile as input costs. High levels of competition help to moderate price increases. The top manufacturers of motherboards are billion-dollar companies that produce well-known brand names for electronics. These companies compete aggressively on price to maintain their market shares and win customers. The high level of competition in this market ultimately boosts buyer power. Current major vendors include Asustek, Intel, Micro-Star International Co. and Elitegroup Computer Systems Co.
Although a large number of motherboards are produced with different features and specifications, there is a low level of product specialization. Motherboards are mass-produced and typically not customized for individual buyers. As a result, buyers have a large variety of options to choose from and are not locked into specific brands or suppliers. Furthermore, buyers have low switching costs and can easily choose new suppliers if desired. A lack of substitutes somewhat diminishes buyer power, though; motherboards are essential components of computers, so buyers lose some leverage in negotiating with suppliers because alternative products cannot be used.

When Jeremy Kennedy found out the Ultimate Fighting Championship would be holding an event in Vancouver, he started spending a lot more time in the gym.
The mixed martial arts fighter based in Surrey, B.C., had a hunch there might be a spot for him in the show.
"I was hoping to get picked up the whole time," said Kennedy, 23. "I was training without a fight being booked."
A few weeks later, he got the offer he'd been hoping for: a contract with the UFC, with a spot on the fight league's upcoming event at Rogers Arena.
"I got a call from my manager — he said there's an opportunity [to fight in the UFC]," said Kennedy, who trains at Revolution MMA in Langley.
But there were some conditions to the offer.
"I have to jump up a weight class," he said. "But if the UFC calls, you don't second guess. You just jump all over it."

text: Leopard Killed Prowling Indiana Backyard - Charlestown Video Like Us Share Share on Twitter Subscribe An Indiana woman trying to protect her cats from wild animal attacks was stunned to discover that the animal she and her boyfriend shot, thinking it was a bobcat prowling in her backyard, was actually a leopard, and now authorities are trying to determine how it got there. Officials at the Indiana Department of Natural Resources confirmed that a leopard, which is not native to North America — let alone Indiana — was found at the woman's residence in Charlestown. The DNR is investigating where the animal might have come from. Donna Duke, a friend and neighbor of the woman who found the leopard, told TVLIVE in Louisville, Ky., that the woman had been concerned about her cats after a spate of attacks on pets in her area.. "She's got cats that are basically her family," Duke told TVLIVE. According to Duke, the woman and her boyfriend stayed up all night Thursday to determine whether there was a bobcat loose in their area. When they saw the big cat in the woods at the edge of her property, the woman's boyfriend shot and killed the animal before it could get any closer, not realizing it was a leopard. Residents of Indiana are allowed to own exotic large cats but they must have a permit. The owner of a local wildlife refuge center located near the woman's home told TVLIVE that none of his animals were missing.

text: http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/01/01/daily-post-midnight/ dailypost.wordpress.com I was at the Four Seasons With my husband last night. It was exactly where I wanted to celebrate New Year's Eve. We had our first kiss at the stroke of midnight when it turned 1999, so this was our fifteenth time spending new year's eve together. We checked in, and I hit the spa for a massage and then relaxed for a while in the jacuzzi, steam room, sauna, and intermittent dips in the cold plunge. We had drinks with friends and then went to the dinner party. It was an elegant affair with a roaring twenties theme. After dinner, there were s gambling tables in the bar area and in another room there was a DJ, a dance floor, a few more bars and desserts. At midnight, we were dancing. Fun times! Thanks for reading. Peace out and happy new year!

Identification and Exclusion of Intermediates of Photocatalytic
CO2 Reduction on TiO2
Anna Pougin1, Martin Dilla2, and Jennifer Strunk2,
1Ruhr-University Bochum, Bochum/Germany,
2Max-Planck-Institute for Chemical Energy Conversion, Mülheim a.d. Ruhr/Germany
It would be the simplest and most desirable way to convert solar energy directly into energy carriers such as methane over semiconductor powders. However, in spite of more than thirty years of intense research, no system has been developed yet with sufficiently high yields for the industrial scale [1]. The slow progress might potentially be attributed to little understanding of the reaction mechanism and the elementary processes, even for pure TiO2 [2]. In this contribution, significant new insight into the reaction mechanism of photocatalytic CO2 reduction on TiO2 will be presented.
Under the conditions of highest purity applied in this study [3], CH4 and CO are found as main products of photocatalytic CO2 reduction with a ratio of 4:1. Under identical reaction conditions, CO was not converted at all within a time course of six hours. So, we can clearly rule out CO as a reaction intermediate to CH4 or any other product. Other previously suggested intermediates such as HCOOH, H2CO and CH3OH were added to the photocatalyst, but none of them led to methane formation. All C1 species were exclusively oxidized or degraded. Considering these observations, we strongly support a mechanism involving C-C bond formation and C2 intermediates as suggested previously [4]. Studies of the reactivity of acetic acid and acetaldehyde on TiO2 yielded product distributions closely resembling those in photocatalytic CO2 reduction, which is significant evidence in favor of the C2 mechanism [5].

Q: Our dog was attacked in our own driveway by another dog, and now she's afraid to set foot in the driveway to take a walk. She's excited to see the leash, but won't go out the front door. As a result, she's gaining weight. What should I do? -- M.S., Shorewood, IL
A: Who can blame your dog? I assume she was traumatized by the encounter you describe, but is at least physically OK. Chicago dog trainer Laura Monaco Torelli has a great idea which should work if you can get your dog into the car.
"Drive to a nearby park, or simply drive several blocks from home and stop. Then take your walk," she suggests.

All About The Couriers?
Many eagle eyed observers have noted that the good jobs numbers today appear to be driven to a surprisingly large extent by a hiring surge of couriers and messengers that arguably reflects a temporary Christmas surge. Now it's for exactly this reason that the BLS applies a seasonal adjustment factor to the data, so in principle this problem shouldn't arise. But after spending some time with the historical tables this morning, it does look to me like the BLS's adjustment formula may have become mis-calibrated, so I don't dismiss the worry. But look at the chart above of data from the non-adjusted series just looking at couriers in December.
I would say this shows that December courier employment tracks overall economic conditions. When there's a recession, courier employment falls. When there's growth, it rises. Not month-to-month, mind you, but year-to-year. So what we see in this new data is very much consistent with a recovery story. Now of course in one or two months we'll have revised data and better information. But my preliminary read of the preliminary data is that this is legit good news.

A 44-year-old West Side man faces burglary and theft charges after two Chicago police officers stopped him as he drove and found enough contraband inside his car to raise suspicions that he was responsible for dozens of recent car and garage burglaries on the North and Near Northwest Sides, authorities said.
John Krawiec, of the 2600 block of West Potomac Avenue, was charged this evening with felony burglary and possession of burglary tools, as well with four counts of misdemeanor theft, in connection with the burglaries and thefts, said Chicago Police News Affairs Officer Ronald Gaines.
Officers Dan Moynihan and Dennis Gollogly of the Belmont District were two blocks away when they got a radio call about 3:17 a.m. concerning a car break-in near Roscoe Street and Kenmore Avenue in the Lakeview neighborhood. The two spotted a vehicle with no headlights leaving an alley near Seminary Avenue, stopped it and arrested the driver after a witness identified the man as the break-in suspect.

The Robbins Heritage Center joins the Neild Museum, the Goldsborough Stable and the Meredith House on the grounds of Heritage Museums and Gardens of Dorchester at the end of Maryland Avenue. Together, they provide visitors a modern and spacious museum complex from which to trace the history of Dorchester County through a variety of displays and interactive presentations. Currently upgrades are being made to improve exhibits and include the addition of audio features, more hands-on elements and the introduction of many Dorchester personalities, bringing the displays alive.
The Robbins Heritage Center has recently become the home of the Research Center, where visitors may research a huge variety of subjects as well as family history of the area.
The Neild Museum showcases Dorchester's agricultural heritage with hundreds of artifacts. Farming history is explored with the interwoven theme of "work and family," transporting the visitor to a recreated farm, set in the 1920s. Visit the kitchen, porch and stable. Imagine that the original McCormick reaper is working and that the plows are hitched to teams of draft animals. Changes are taking place in this space, as well. The recently opened "Country Store" exhibit, in addition to offering a charming look at early commerce, provides meeting space for programming and workshops. This area also houses the Heritage Shop, where visitors may purchase books and other goodies.
The Meredith House is currently being revitalized with more exhibits than it has held in quite some time. With the Research Center move to the Robbins, three rooms have been emptied for display. One has already begun its transformation to that of "Annie Cornish's Quarters" which interprets and conveys the room where previous owners, Mr. and Mrs. Russell Smith's housekeeper, Annie, lived.
This Georgian-style home, built circa 1760 in its present location, displays antique furniture, portraits, china, silver, and quilts. Also exhibited are the artifacts of the seven governors of Maryland from Dorchester County.
Since most of food stuff was harvested or bought in volume , the Stronghouse/Smokehouse was a sturdy building that the excess was stored in until such time that it was moved to the pantry. It was also used as a smokehouse for smoking and curing meats. This may be the oldest structure on the campus.
The Goldsborough Stable is named in honor of Governor Charles Goldsborough, born in 1764. The stable originally sat on the adjacent property once owned by William and Elizabeth Ennals on Shoal Creek. Elizabeth's nephew, Charles Goldsborough, came to live with them at the age of four after the death of his parents. Upon the death of his aunt, he inherited the shoal creek property. Charles Goldsborough served in the Maryland State Senate US Congress and was Maryland's Governor from 1818 to 1819.
The stable's brickwork suggests its age and prominence. This type of brickwork was considered the most decorative of the various bonds and historically was used extensively for residences. This stable was built for a refined home. Most stables of this era are long gone especially on the Delmarva hence its rarity.
Inside the stable are many transportation vehicles, used throughout the county and donated by various residents. Among the artifacts are a sulky, pony cart, a buckboard, and horse driven sleighs. There are also tools of the woodworker, wheelwright and blacksmith along with various other items including saddles and harnesses.
The Herb Garden, located near the entrance of the Neild Museum, is a horticulture project begun in 1980. Creation of the garden included grading the site, moving the old stronghouse to its present location, and laying intersecting brick pathways. The sundial was a gift to the Historical Society from the Dorchester Garden Club, which is responsible for the care of the garden.
This is a colonial type garden intended to demonstrate the many uses of herbs, both practical and aesthetic, and to instruct the public in the pleasures of growing, even in a small space, something fresh, fragrant, and flavorful.
Open Monday through Friday 10AM to 4PM, Saturday 10 AM to 2 PM, or by appointment

100-year-old elm tree centerpiece of Carnation farmstead
- Written by Lisa Allen
CARNATION – At first glance, the elm doesn't look like a tree at all, but rather like a giant pile of green leaves. But when one steps inside – yes, inside – by way of a "door" through the branches, the magnificence of the century-old treasure is displayed in all its verdant glory. Dappled sunlight sifting through the leaves reveals a unique cave-like interior. Overhead, roots appear to be growing above the trunk, supported by masses of convoluted branches. Contorted limbs and the deep green leaves create the ceiling and sides, which reach almost to the ground.

Place value tables are used to help determine the place of a one digit as part of a whole number. They are also used to learn to write a standard whole number with correct comma placement. Additionally, place value tables teach students how to write numbers in expanded forms.Continue Reading
Place value tables can account for whole numbers reaching into the trillions. They are designed to be read left to right, with the larger numbers coming first, and its categories — trillions, millions, thousands and ones — are broken into separate distinctions of hundreds, tens and ones. There is a blank row between the category and subcategory rows where the number in question can be written.
When using a place value table to help determine the place of one digit, simply write the number in the blank row. Only one digit can fit in any block. For example, when writing the number 2,564, the number 2 is placed in the one thousand's section.
To teach writing numbers in standard form, a number is derived from a word problem. The number is written into the correct spots on the place value table, and the division between the categories indicates where commas are placed to achieve correct standard form.
Numbers can be inserted into a place value table to determine their expanded form. The expanded form of the number includes the representation of each place and its value expressed with words instead of numbers. For example, the number 200,000,000 would be written as two hundred millions.Learn more about Arithmetic

Isaiah 66: 10-14 ; Galatians 6: 14-18 ; Luke 10: 1-12, 17-20
When I was a child my favorite part about Mass on Sunday was the sign of peace, because it meant that I got to go around and shake people's hands. Each Sunday we have the opportunity to offer each other the sign of peace, to say "peace be with you". In today's gospel Jesus speaks much about peace. Today Jesus sends His disciples on a mission. The disciples are told that when they encounter others they are to offer them peace in a gesture so much like the sign of peace we offer at Mass. As Christians, Jesus sends us to bring peace to others. Sometimes we offer people peace so casually at Mass, but we do not think about what true peace means. What is this peace that we want to "be" with other people? Also, it is very important to consider if, outside of this gesture on Sundays, we are offering peace to those we come in contact with on a daily basis.
True peace, the kind of peace Christ talks about in the Gospel, has a deeper meaning than we normally imagine. The peace that we are to offer at Mass is something that is so much more than the way that peace is usually understood. We usually think that peace is simply the absence of conflict. We say that after World War II there was peace in Europe after the treaties. There was peace because open conflict had ceased. But was there true peace? Far from it. After fighting had stopped, people in Europe were deeply wounded by the violence done. There was anger and despair in people's hearts. A treaty did not obtain full, true peace. The peace that Jesus is talking about is so much more. True peace is peace of heart; it is consolation, joy and tranquility. This peace is not something man-made but comes as a gift from God. The first reading speaks vividly of the peace God brings. He consoles us like a mother nursing her baby. God comforts us like a parent comforts their child by putting them upon their lap. St. Paul reminds us in the 2nd reading that the peace that God gives us was won by the Jesus' passion and death on the cross. On the Cross Jesus conquered the enemies of peace: sin and death. True peace is a gift from God and was won by Jesus on the cross.
When we receive this kind of peace from Jesus, we need to share it with others. If our heart is truly touched by this kind of peace we are compelled to go give it to those around us. Picture for a moment an empty glass. Imagine that you take a pitcher full of water and begin filling the glass. When the glass is full, you continue to pour the water so that the glass overflows and water runs down the cup and onto its surrounding. This is what happens when Jesus fills us with peace. In this analogy, the water is peace, our heart is the glass and Jesus is the one holding the pitcher. When Jesus pours peace into our heart, He fills us to the brim and the peace we receive will spread to those around us. The heart of every person thirsts for peace. In order to spread peace to those around us we must first receive God's peace, we must allow Jesus to fill our cup. You cannot give what you do not have. Notice in the gospel that the disciples are only sent to bring peace to others after having been with Jesus. They first received peace from Him. We receive Jesus' peace through prayer and receiving the Sacraments, especially the sacrament of reconciliation. When we do this we become like that overflowing cup, God`s peace will flow from us to those we come in contact with. When our heart is touched by God`s peace we transmit peace to others.
Though many will accept the peace we offer, some will reject it. When we go bringing peace to those around us, though the majority will willingly accept it, some will not want to receive it. In the gospel, after Jesus has sent His disciples on a mission he warns them of this reality. Some people will welcome them, others will not. If you are looking for an example of people rejecting Christians and their message, look no further than the Internet. Many of you are probably aware that the past two Popes have had Twitter accounts. If you have no idea what Twitter is, if you think that a "tweet" is just a sound a bird make, allow me to clarify. Twitter is a program that allows you to send a short message to a large group of people. People can share this message with others and even respond to your message. Pope Benedict and Pope Francis have used Twitter to share short Gospel messages with millions of people. In general their messages have been well received. But, it you ever look at the responses people write, you would be shocked. Many people write incredibly rude and hateful responses to the Popes. There are a lot of broken and wounded people who respond to a well-intentioned message with outright hostility. When we are rejected in this way, we should not get angry or stay to debate. We shouldn't "feed the trolls", as they say in internet lingo. We should follow the advice of Christ and "shake the dust from our feet". We must not allow the hate and bitterness of others to cling to us and poison us, destroying our peace. We should shake it off. Though many will accept the peace we offer them, some people, who are wounded and broken, will reject it.
Jesus calls us to bring peace to all people, but we need to start with those closest to us, our own family. Christ's mission to bring peace far and wide must start in our own family. Mother Teresa often said that "peace starts at home". If a family is at peace, then it will bring tranquility to society. On the other hand, if a family is at war, it will bring discord to society. It is like when you throw a pebble in a pond and ripples are formed on the surface of the water that spread far and wide. Such a small stone can have such a great effect. Likewise, a family that is at peace creates a ripple-effect in society; its affect can be huge. How then can we bring peace to our family? To quote Mother Teresa again: "works of love are works of peace". Through small works of love we can bring peace to our families and eventually to the world. Something as simple as a smile or saying "good morning" can bring peace. Helping a younger brother or sister with their homework or house chores is a work of love. Taking the time to listen patiently to your husband or wife who has had a hard day at work is an act of peace. Calling up an elderly relative to see how they are doing is also a work of love. Works of love are works of peace. Peace starts at home; from there it radiates to all of society.
Today our world yearns for the peace that only Jesus Christ can give. Jesus sends us to bring this peace to others. Whenever we give each other the sign of peace we can remind ourselves of this in a special way. It is significant that shaking hands is a sign for agreeing to something, of making a deal. When you give the sign of peace today, let it be your chance to agree to be someone who brings peace to others, starting with the members of our own family. Let us agree to bring peace by doing simple acts of love. Every time we offer each other the sign of peace commit to doing this. Let us shake on it.
