The nucleus of a cell is not sedentary, but occupies different locations in the cell at different times for different purposes. The proper migration and anchoring of the nucleus during development in polarized cells (e.g. neurons, muscle cells) becomes physiologically critical for signal transduction, structural integrity, and other functions in multicellular organisms. Current studies show that failure of nuclei to migrate and anchor properly in different cells of the body may result in a range of physiological disorders including ataxias (Gros-Louis et al., 2007), where the affected individual suffers from poor coordination and an unsteady gait; muscular dystrophy (Bione et al., 1994; Burke et al., 2001; Burton and Davies, 2002, Hutchison et al., 2001), which is characterized by progressive deterioration of skeletal muscles, eventually leading to complete physical disability; and lissencephaly (Hong et al., 2000), a condition where the folds in the gray matter of the brain form improperly, resulting in severe physical and mental retardation. All of these disorders are traced to defects in the components of the nuclear envelope one of the most neglected areas of study in cell biology until a few years ago.
Over the past few years, a revived interest in the functions of the nuclear envelope has warranted active research on the biochemical pathways of the nuclear envelope, particularly the pathways of nuclear migration and anchorage. Most of the focus has been on identifying proteins associated with the nuclear envelope, as well as characterizing their topology (e.g. their structure, function, and interaction with other proteins). This review explores recent findings in scientific literature on the role of the nuclear envelope in nuclear migration and anchorage, and it evaluates the relevance and implications of these findings for human disease.
Discussion Migration
In mammals, the consequences of most nuclear migration defects are so severe that they usually result in pre-natal death. Lissencephaly is a rare example of a nuclear migration defect in the neurons of the brain, where the affected individual may survive for many years. It is characterized by the improper folding (or complete lack of folding) of the brain's gray matter, which results in severe mental and physical retardation. Hong et al. (2000) determined the root cause of lissencephaly to be a mutation in the RELN gene, whose protein product reelin is required for the nuclear migration in cortical neurons. However, aside from lissencephaly, most nuclear migration defects are too severe in mammals to permit meaningful research on the mechanism. It is for this reason that nuclear migration is mostly studied in more simple organisms.
Indeed, most of what we currently know about nuclear migration is based on models that came from studying biochemical pathways in the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, a nematode whose simple organization and high rate of reproduction makes it feasible and efficient to study under the microscope. An important breakthrough came when Starr et al. (2001) discovered the outer-nuclear membrane protein Unc-83 and determined that it is necessary for nuclear migration in C. elegans. Unc-83 is heavily expressed in migratory cells, and it localizes to the outer-nuclear membrane. McGee et al. (2007) confirmed that Unc-83 is required for nuclear migration, and showed that it interacts via its KASH domain with the SUN domain of inner-nuclear membrane protein Unc-84. However, it is still unknown what Unc-83 binds to on the cytosolic side.
As of yet, there is no definitive model for how nuclear migration occurs in humans and other mammals, yet it appears that cell biologists are taking note of the clues from the C. elegans system to guide their research of the pathway. Notably, Wilhelmsen et al. (2005) discovered a new outer nuclear-membrane protein, Nesprin-3, and determined that it indirectly connects to intermediate filaments in the cytoskeleton via the cross-linker protein plectin. The function of Nesprin-3 is still under speculation, but there is much excitement over its potential involvement in nuclear migration because of its homology to the better-studied protein Unc-83 in C. elegans. With the advent of Nesprin-3, it becomes plausible to hypothesize that Unc-83 binds to plectin in the cytosol, and that Nesprin-3 binds to a SUN protein at the nuclear envelope. Thus, homologies of proteins between different model organisms are proving very useful to researchers by giving them hints about the kinds of proteins that may be involved in nuclear migration, and how these proteins may interact. Nevertheless, the triggering events, coordination, and other details of the mechanism of migration have yet to be determined.
Once the nucleus of a cell migrates, it must securely anchor in place and not float away. Again, much of our current knowledge about nuclear anchorage comes from the C. elegans system. Starr and Han (2002) determined that in C. elegans, the nucleus is tethered to the actin cytoskeleton by the large dystrophin-like protein, Anc-1. Similar to the migration model, Anc-1 interacts via its KASH domain with the SUN domain of inner-nuclear membrane protein, Unc-84. The authors showed that anc-1 mutants displayed a strongly uncoordinated phenotype, indicating that nuclear anchorage is a physiologically important process even in simple organisms like C. elegans.
As the study of nuclear anchorage is expanding to mammalian systems, it is becoming apparent that the mammalian model shares many similarities with the C. elegansmodel. In the mammalian model, outer nuclear membrane proteins Syne-1 and Syne-2 (also known as Nesprin-1 and Nesprin-2) anchor the nucleus to the actin cytoskeleton by binding to F-actin on the cytosolic end, and SUN proteins of the inner nuclear membrane on the other end (Grady et al., 2005; Haque et al. 2006; Zhang et al., 2007). Both Syne-1 and Syne-2 are homologues of Anc-1 with a well-conserved KASH domain, while SUN proteins are similar in size to Unc-84 and also contain the well-conserved SUN domain. These similarities show that nuclear anchorage pathways are well-conserved among species, suggesting that this is indeed a critical mechanism in simple and complex organisms.
A number of studies have shown that Syne proteins play a crucial role in nuclear anchorage, and their proper expression in cells is physiologically important in organisms. Grady et al. (2005) showed via fluorescent microscopy that either Syne-1 or Syne-2 is required for the anchorage of myonuclei at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of muscle tissue in mice. Recently, Zhang et al. (2007) supported Grady et al.'s findings, and also confirmed the necessity of the KASH domain in both Syne-1 and Syne-2 for proper anchorage of both synaptic and non-synaptic nuclei at the NMJ. Zhang et al. found that disruption in anchorage by a genome-wide SYNE1 knockout causes respiratory failure in mice within 20 minutes of birth, indicating that Syne-1 is vital for respiration and motor neuron innervation. Mutations in SYNE1 have also been implicated in cerebellar ataxia in humans (Gros-Louis et al., 2007), where nuclei fail to anchor in Purkinje cells and the individual suffers from an unsteady gait. These studies all confirm that Syne-1 is necessary for the proper anchorage of nuclei at synaptic junctions, and they demonstrate the range of pathology resulting from disruptions in this pathway.
It appears that proper binding of inner nuclear membrane proteins to the nuclear lamina is also a crucial part of anchorage. Perhaps this is because the chromatin (which is attached to the lamina) must move smoothly along with the nuclear envelope to retain its position within the nucleus. Four separate studies (Bione et al., 1994; Burke et al., 2001; Burton and Davies, 2002; Hutchison et al., 2001) showed that mutations in genes coding for emerin, lamin A, and lamin C are implicated in Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, possibly through the disruption of nuclear anchorage. This pathway is not entirely understood in mammals, as there appears to be contradictory evidence between two equally convincing studies: Lee et al. (2002) discovered that the homologue of SUN1 in C. elegans, unc-84, requires lamin for localization at the inner nuclear membrane, yet Haque et al. (2006) found that in mammals SUN1 binds to lamin A but does not require it for localization. These findings not only raise questions about the role of lamins in nuclear anchorage, but also they suggest that there appears at least sometimes an unbroken chain of proteins from chromatin to the cytoskeleton (and therefore to the plasma membrane).
Topology of Key Nuclear Envelope Proteins
Syne-1 has important homologues in other model organisms which have aided researchers in studying nuclear anchorage. Two important homologues with similar function are MSP-300 in Drosophila melanogaster(Rosenberg-Hasson et al., 1996), and ANC-1 in C. elegans (Starr and Han, 2002). All three of these proteins have a well-conserved Klarsicht/ANC/Syne Homology (KASH) domain at the C-terminus which appears to be a unifying feature of all cytosolic proteins that localize to the outer nuclear envelope (Wilhelmsen et al., 2006), regardless of whether they are involved in migration or anchorage. Because it is so well conserved, many believe that KASH proteins may be universal "adaptors" that regulate nuclear migration and anchorage in all eukaryotes. Some have also proposed that proteins with KASH-like domains may be involved in the migration and anchorage of other organelles such as mitochondria and the golgi apparatus (Starr & Fischer, 2005). However, in the context of nuclear migration and anchorage, KASH domains are significant because they associate exclusively with the SUN domains of inner-nuclear membrane proteins. This will hopefully help to identify future proteins involved in migration and anchorage. Also, the high degree of conservation over different phylogenies demonstrates that nuclear migration and anchorage are extremely important cellular processes, and that the genes controlling these processes are under strong evolutionary control.
In the past five years, studies of the nuclear envelope have revealed a surprisingly complex array of proteins for what does not appear at first glance to be a complex or significant process. However, an increasing number of diseases and syndromes are being traced to defects in nuclear migration and anchorage, warranting more research in this area of cell biology. The next step is to propose a biochemical mechanism for how migration actually occurs, how the correct position of the nucleus is determined, and finally how the cell switches from the migration pathway to the anchorage pathway.
Thanks to studies in non-mammalian model organisms, researchers have been able to identify important domains of the proteins involved in nuclear migration and anchorage based on conserved homologies across species. As more nuclear envelope proteins continue to be discovered, we will gain better insight into the mechanisms that govern these processes. In future studies, it is likely that the current model for migration and anchorage will be extrapolated to include other organelles of the cell, as there are promising hints that similar mechanisms are involved. As we uncover more components of the unbroken chain of proteins extending from the nucleus to the plasma membrane, we will learn how the cell is able to alter the shape and position of its organelles. Ultimately, we should hope that future studies of these nanoscopic processes will lead to a better understanding of how their disruption leads to maladies on the macroscopic level.

HIPO model
HIPO model (short for hierarchical input process output model) is a systems analysis design aid and documentation technique from the 1970s,[1] used for representing the modules of a system as a hierarchy and for documenting each module.[2][3]
It was used to develop requirements, construct the design, and support implementation of an expert system to demonstrate automated rendezvous. Verification was then conducted systematically because of the method of design and implementation.[4]
The overall design of the system is documented using HIPO charts or structure charts. The structure chart is similar in appearance to an organizational chart, but has been modified to show additional detail. Structure charts can be used to display several types of information, but are used most commonly to diagram either data structures or code structures.[3]

ARLINGTON, Va. - Marymount College posted at least three goals in each period to defeat Southwestern 13-6 on Saturday to close out their spring break road trip.
The Pirates made a game of it in the first quarter after Marymount scored two quick goals to open. Jamie Long, assisted by Austin Fox, started the scoring with a man-up goal with 9:19 to go in the quarter. Marymount pushed their lead back to two, 3-1, but Jeremy Tufnell scored an unassisted goal with 3:30 to go in the frame to pull Southwestern within one, 3-2, heading into the second quarter.
Marymount took control in the second quarter with three goals to lead by four, 6-2, by halftime.
After another MC goal to open the third, the Pirates began a comeback. Fox scored a man-up goal and Long added his second goal of the game to pull SU within three, 7-4, with eight minutes remaining in the third.
Unfortunately, Marymount was too much as they scored four straight to pull away as the game entered the midway point of the fourth quarter. Carter Cowan scored, assisted by Long, and Fox scored with 1:50 to play to arrive at the 13-6 final.
SU only trailed by 14 in the shot count, 45-31, and committed one more turnover in the loss. Southwestern led in ground balls 40-37, but took advantage of just two of their eight man-up opportunities. Long and Fox led in the scoring with two goals and one assist each. Marymount's Connor Kellogg led all scorers with three goals and one assist.
Southwestern falls to 4-6 with the loss while Marymount improves to 4-1 on the year. The Pirates return to SCAC conference action next weekend, facing the University of Dallas on Sunday at 1 p.m. in Irving, Texas.

A preacher concludes his service by saying, "Next Sunday I am going to preach on the subject of liars. And in preparation for my discourse, I would like you all to read the 17th chapter of Mark."
The following Sunday, the preacher says, "Now, all of you who have done as I requested and read the 17th chapter of Mark, please raise your hands."
Nearly every hand in the congregation goes up.
The preacher continues, "You are the people I want to talk to. There is no 17th chapter of Mark."

Yes, I know everyone who follows me on Twitter thinks that I've been being mischievous all day. After posting that faux KAT-TUN banner I just know we're going to have trust issues. The purpose of this post is to inform you all, if you're reading this, that all of my Tweets from this afternoon were entirely genuine. This is my new favorite song…
Ah ah ah, wait, wait, not yet….
A little backstory: I was killing time when I had no time to kill, watching a bunch of completely random VK videos that I found on this website through this PV bot that I follow on Twitter. (First of all, I was appalled at my own snobbishness. I think the sheer weight of my sighs stopped half the videos 53 seconds in…). This is how I used to discover most of the music I listen to, after all, so it's not the uncommon to find me immersed in the endless oceans of Visual Kei PVs. In fact, sometimes I end up doing it without even thinking about it. Usually when I have something important to do, like composing important emails or writing business plans, or reorganizing my Netflix queue, I just sort of "come-to" on Youtube, clicking through suggested videos and playlists of the low-budget PVs of the lesser minions of avex's 'happy family'- well, if avex's family is happy, then these guys must be the black sheep. The importance of how exactly I ended up there is always determined by the quality of the videos I discovered. On a scale of 1-5 (1 being the lowest) the quality of the discoveries made in the forty minutes I spent between writing non-diatonic chord progressions in the key of G and making dinner would have to be….wait for it. 5.
First of all, I thought it was from the '80s. I had no idea PVs made in the '90s were such poor quality… I mean, this is really…So yeah, anyway. The actual quality of the PV aside, it's the content that we care about anyway. And I would watch this ten times in a row even if they took it back in time and remade it in 1948.
The artist is Chisato [千聖], the guitarist for '90s VK band Penicillin. I'm not much of a Penicillin fan, and that's my excuse for how I've been in the dark for so long. Initially, I heard Wake Up!, which was ok, but then scrolled down a little bit, and, like a young beggar on a cold night in the middle of the desert clinking two pieces of a jeweled scarab together, I parted the sands and there it was- the diamond in the rough. Chisato's Cyber Rose.
Electronica that should only have existed in the 1980's. Latin influences. The type of soaring melodies that laid the foundation for anime theme songs as a whole– the kind of melodies that, if we were Power Rangers, we would Mighty Morph and fight badly to-, and one of those voices that we stopped hearing after GACKT made the tenor go out of style in the year 2000.
The steady beat of the song could potentially be annoying after two minutes, but the chorus is killer, and I was totally digging the random (intentional?) Fur Elise clip that just sort of happens. The construction of the song is awesome, the licks are totally catchy, and the whole thing is just exuding raw character. The acoustic salsa-esque guitar solo steals the whole show…well, it might, were it not for the fact that Chisato is wearing a cowboy hat, which is so '90s Jrock, isn't it?
Thanks to Dreamsprite.

Abnormalities of blood cholesterol concentration are associated with increased risks for vascular disease, especially heart attacks and strokes. As one of the main lipid components of plasma membrane in all mammalian cells, cholesterol has a major impact on the mechanical properties of the membrane of endothelial cells. Although the effect of cholesterol depletion on cell mechanical properties has been studied, no results yet have been reported on quantitative investigation of cholesterol repletion effect. In this study, the cholesterol repletion effect on the nanomechanical properties of human umbilical vein endothelial cell (EA.hy926) was studied using a control-based atomic force microscope (AFM) nanomechanical measurement protocol. The viscoelasticity of EA.hy926 cells were measured over a large frequency range (0.1–100 Hz) using both constant-rate excitation force with different loading rates and a broadband excitation force. The viscoelasticity oscillation of the cell membranes under the cholesterol effect was also monitored in real-time. The experiment results showed that under the effect of cholesterol repletion, both the Young's modulus and the complex modulus of EA.hy926 cell were increased over 30%, respectively, and moreover, the amplitudes of both the elasticity oscillation and the viscosity oscillation at a period of around 200 s were increased over 70%, respectively. Therefore, this work is among the first to investigate the mechanical properties, particularly, the broadband viscoelasticity variations of EA.hy926 cells under cholesterol repletion treatment. The results revealed that cholesterol repletion may reinforce the coupling of F-actin to plasma membrane by increasing actin stability, and the cholesterol might have modified the submembrane cytoskeletal organization of EA.hy926 cell by causing the involvement of the motor protein nonmuscle myosin II.

#9Daysforlife - Day One
When I heard of the upcoming event, #9Daysforlife, I immediately thought of our cause to help the people in Uganda. We are not just building a school, helping pay the children's school fees, selling paper beaded jewelry to help a women's group, giving gifts of livestock to the less fortunate, etc. We are doing this because we respect life!
I will post one picture a day during this #9Daysforlife event to show how we are respecting life.
#9Daysforlife speaks of creating a culture of life. St. Catherine of Siena Nursery School has given life to this remote part of our world. We here in the USA have shown love to people 7,000 miles away, those of whom we will never meet. This is a absolute sign of respect for life!

The benefits of online shopping are plentiful, from the convenience to the vast variety of options. However, few benefits come to those who buy loose diamonds online. Avoid the hassle of making the wrong purchase, read our 10 reasons NOT to acquire diamonds from the Internet:
- Diamonds vastly range in color and clarity, hence their classifications. These intricacies can only be appreciated and discerned in person.
- A jewelry retailer lets you see the diamonds, touch them and more importantly, examine them and compare them to each other.
- You can't truly experience the unique sparkle, shine and depth of a diamond from a photo online. A lot of times these "effects" can be added to a digitally enhanced photo.
- Its difficult to detect the quality, if there is haze, or how a diamond looks through a loupe when online.
- Diamond prices are anonymous online. Working with a jeweler in person creates an opportunity to learn more about their value and pricing structure.
- Be wary of "deals," you always get what you pay for. If you sense that the deal sounds to good to be true, you are probably right.
- A diamond is forever, so should be the memory of the purchase. Online transactions are fast and frivolous, is that how you want to remember your very important purchase?
- Most Internet sites do not provide maintenance, experience or service that a jewelry retail offers. An opportunity to create a relationship is certainly lost.
- Online diamond dealers and sellers are not always truthful. Avoid the stress of getting a fake certificate or mis-graded diamond by working with a trusted retailer.
- Nothing can replace the feeling of buying a diamond in person.
Visit Marlen Jewelers, we are always happy to answer all of your diamond questions.

|Mt. Vesuvius ice cream sundae at Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia
After a huge meal at City Tavern, we walked around Old City Philly until we had room for dessert. Read my full review of the Mt. Vesuvius Ice Cream Sundae at Franklin Fountain in Philadelphia's Old City after the break.
My daughter and I shared a Mt. Vesuvius sundae, which is vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate ice cream, powdered malt, fudge, and plenty of whipped cream. Wonderful!
It's hardly been open ten years, but it feels like stepping back over a hundred years with the long soda fountain and collection of candies for sale.
Order your sundae, watch it made, then take it out to the sidewalk to grab a table and enjoy it along with the lights of the Old City.
TIP: It's cash only at Franklin Fountain.

On arrival back at the start point Pepper once again stole the show with a swim out to the kayaks for a lift back to shore with her dad. Â There was a rush to get the kayaks loaded this evening as it was one of the biggest tides of the year and the tide was flooding into Loch Etive. Â Playboaters head to the Falls of Lora to catch the ebbing tide but Tony assured me that for a sea kayaker the flood was far better. Â We arrived back at his place with about an hour of daylight left to play in the tide. Â Alex had the best surf of the evening, beating myself and Tony by far. Â I had to edit it down from five minutes!
So, the last day arrived and saw two new people enter my group for the morning. Â The plan was to paddle up Loch Etive from Connel.
We were against the tide and found a few little jets to play with some ferry gliding and breaking in and out with. Â Having watched us do it in the full flood of the Falls of Lora the previous evening the group were very keen to learn these skills.
Soon though we had to press on as trains had to be caught back to London. Â We had a quick bit for lunch and continued down Loch Etive.
Arriving at our destination in plenty of time for everyone to catch the train. We just about beat the rain and all left to go in different directions home. A great few days in Scotland, meeting some wonderful people.

Beer hunting in Portugal seemed like an exciting journey. But that's because I didn't do my homework.
I chose Portugal over many other potential European destinations because of its literary history (Pessoa, Saramago, etc), rustic landscape, and isolated culture compared to the rest of the Mediterranean and Western Europe. And all these hopes proved true. But what I didn't account for was how this might affect the beer culture. Also, it turns out that decades of rule by Salazar's nationalistic regime wasn't great for beer culture either.
That's not to say that Portugal doesn't care for beer. In fact, they're one of Europe's biggest producers.
Beer in Portugal has a long history, going as far back as the time of the ancient Roman province of Lusitania, where beer was commonly made and drunk. Portugal is among the 11 largest beer producers in Europe, and is the 7th largest European exporter of the product.
The word for beer in Portuguese is cerveja, coming from the Latin word cerevisia. Modern Portuguese breweries were started in Portugal in the 19th century. Portugal's Estado Novo regime, headed by António Salazar, protected national industry from foreign control, including the beer sector, during his time in power. Brewing in Portugal was long dominated by two companies — Unicer - Bebidas de Portugal, S.A. and Sociedade Central de Cervejas, S.A. They were created from the remains of well-established Portuguese brewers after the 1974 military coup, when the industry was nationalized. Both were privatized in the 1990s. Between them, they control more than 90% of the Portuguese beer market.
What this very productive history of beer in Portugal lacks, however, is a fundamental lack of innovation and basic variety. In short, there's a suspicious love of the norm. There's just no romance. This is immediately evident in the way bars are described. There are no "gastropubs" or "beer halls" in Portugal. Instead, there are innumerable "bar tipicos" — typical bars.
There are two major brands in Portuguese beers: Sagres and Super Bock, with over 90% of the market between them. Despite the head-to-head competition, you don't order these by name. Each bar usually serves only one, and so you simply ask for a cerveja. Asking for a beer by name only inspires confusion in the divier bars. Sometimes you need to specify wether you want a small or large glass, but that's as far as it goes.
Between the two, Super Bock is the far better choice. Slightly malty but clean and pale, it's a solid lager for a dry, arid climate. It pairs perfectly with Portuguese foods such as salt cod, spicy clams and seafood stews. Super Bock is loved by the English who frequent Portugal during the football season, and apart from their flagship ale, they also offer a decidedly British-style stout. Thin in body, but with plenty of malty, caramel and toasted notes, it's a nice change of pace. Unfortunately, it's just not that common in most of the bars and restaurants.
On the other hand, Sagres, also a pale lager, finishes with a slight hop flavor, but the bitterness can sometimes turn against it, leaving you with a metallic taste and off aroma. Sagres is the most popular brand, especially in the south of Portugal, including Lisbon. This really did start to feel like a Bud Light vs Miller Lite debate after a while.
Sagres has one interesting feather in its cap, however: Bohemia. A bit fruity and nutty, Bohemia seems like a bizarre portfolio piece for such a straightforward brand. Some say it's a form of Marzen, a darker, Bavarian style of lager usually reserved for the Fall. Overall the recipe seemed a bit uneven, almost like a gruit, and didn't pair with food very well. On its own, though, it was a nice, heady brew for the cooler evenings.
And then it happened. Long after I'd given up on discovering and big beer game in Portugal and taken up Port Wine and Vino Verde, I walked unwittingly into Cervejaria Trindade, the oldest brewery in all of Portugal. Cervejaria Trindade is part of an order of monks that created their monastery in 1294. But it was about 600 years later, in 1834 that the brewery was established.
At first, Cervejaria Trindade seemed to only serve Sagres brands. Convinced I was missing something, I asked a young dishwasher if there was any original Cervejaria Trindade beer available. "Sagres," he said, "Sagres makes our beer." Thinking I was not understanding, I pressed for more information, only to learn that the brewery doesn't make their own beer anymore, at all.
It's unclear to me when the brewery stopped producing — whether the earthquake of 1755, Salazar's rule, or simple economic reasons, Cervejaria Trindade dried up. It's now more of a historical relic that anything resembling an active brewery. Even the restaurant part, impressive space that it is, lacks the true beer hall vibe it seems to be going for. There's just no spirit of brewing left in the place. And that's when the dishwasher explained more completely — Sagres makes the former Cervejaria Trindade house recipe. Hundreds of years of independent brewing, and Sagres buys the rights, and calls it Bohemia. Bummer. At least I got to snack on some Lupini beans.
Portugal proved to be mostly barren, beer hunting ground, but I'd be happy to have another Super Bock on a hot, dry day. And the lack of beer made me a bit more open to some 40 year old Tawny and Vino Verde now and again, which I'm thankful for. After all, who goes to Sonoma or Napa for the beer, right? Right.

Passengers on bus route 25, I have good news and bad news.
If you live beside the Bow Flyover it's good news, because buses on route 25 won't be whizzing over the flyover any more. Instead they'll be going via the roundabout, like they used to, which means they will be stopping at your local bus stop, which means you will be able to catch a 25 again.
They started disappearing over the flyover on Monday 16th March 2015. East London was in the grip of Cycle Superhighway works at the time, which were seriously slowing down the traffic, so buses on route 25 were diverted over the flyover to save a little time. By missing out a couple of bus stops, the traffic lights and some jams, it was possible to make up a few minutes lost queuing through roadworks in Aldgate, and elsewhere. It left a half mile gap in the middle of the busiest bus route in London, but the sacrifice of the few aided the travel experience of the many.
Eastbound the Marshgate Lane bus stop was skipped, and eastbound the Bow Flyover bus stop on the opposite side of the dual carriageway. It's OK, said TfL, all other buses will continue to stop here, so you won't be without a service. It's OK, said TfL, it's only for three months. But after three months they extended the diverstion "until further notice", and after six months they proposed to make it permanent. "No!" screamed the public in the ensuing consultation, so TfL relented and said they'd return the 25 to ground level "as soon as the current major roadworks on the route are complete". But these completed in June, and nothing happened.
If you'd turned up at the Marshgate Lane bus stop during the last 18 months you'd have seen a red cross stuck over the number '25'. You'd have seen all the buses on route 25 speeding past over the flyover. And you'd have seen a particularly rubbish diversion notice telling you where the "nearest alternative stops" were. Westbound the nearest was apparently "stop K on High Street near Warton Road", and eastbound "stop A on Bow Road near Bow Church Station (DLR)". Had anybody bothered to check they'd have discovered that these weren't the nearest stops, they were the third nearest, and both were ten minutes walk away. But nobody checked, and this drivel was left up to advise passengers for 570 days.
Residents living near to the omitted bus stops became increasingly incandescent about the diversion, there being no obvious reason for its continuation. They emailed, tweeted and complained, as you do, but TfL revealed nothing. The 25 continued to sail over the flyover throughout the summer, and throughout September, and nobody official appeared to be able to say anything. And then finally this Thursday, a full 81 weeks after the diversion began, local residents were sent this email.
From Saturday 8 October, there will be changes to bus route 25, which runs between Ilford and Oxford Circus. Following the completion of roadworks, buses will no longer be diverted over Bow Flyover and will once again run via Bow Roundabout.The sticky red crosses came down on Thursday, and the ridiculous yellow diversion notice disappeared too, so everything looked promising. Passengers turning up yesterday were very confused, of course, staring at the 25s on the flyover then double-checking the bus stop, because the timetable switch had happened a day too early. But today they'll be able to board properly, or if they're travelling home get off at the correct stop rather than having to walk for an unnecessary extra five minutes.
A new timetable really did start this morning - I've been out to check! No longer do 25s take the high road over the flyover, they take the low road round the roundabout. Passengers at Marshgate Lane are once again able to board a frequent bus to Stratford and beyond, and are already doing so. Normal service has finally been resumed.
I said there was bad news, and for everybody else there is. If you don't live near Marshgate Lane, then the last 18 months have been excellent. Your journey on the 25 has been faster by at least a minute, often more, because the bus hasn't had to queue up for the traffic lights. Also the view from the top of the flyover has been better - far across the Olympic Park and down the Lower Lea Valley - and from the upper deck much better still. Now all these bonuses have been taken away, and the 25's journey is slower, less reliable and fractionally less interesting.
Indeed buses are always faster if they don't have to stop at places you don't want to go. The ultimate bus route skips loads of stops and whizzes you to your destination much quicker as a result. The catch is that the ultimate bus route is a taxi, and a London full of taxis would be a jammed-up nightmare.
So it's excellent news that the 25 is stopping again at Marshgate Lane, because the aim of any good bus service is to serve the communities through which it passes, not to miss them out. Several hundred people have been inconvenienced for a year and a half so that TfL can run an efficient timetable, but now their needs are once again being taken into account. And with tens of thousands more people due to move in by the Bow Roundabout over the next few years, everyone'll be best served by having the busiest bus route in London stopping close by. Come on down!
When pedestrian crossings were added to the Bow Roundabout in June, TfL stuck numbers to five of the flyover's pillars to indicate 'Exits'. Due to flimsy construction and poor adhesion these numbers then mostly peeled or fell off. Yesterday contractors came back and peeled the rest off, replacing them with proper permanent plastic numbers. These won't fall off, they're solid stuff, but they probably won't persuade many more of the public to cross via the new crossings either.

Parlor Rollers is a breed of pigeon that can't fly but can roll or do somersaults on the ground.
The Parlor Roller is a breed of domesticated pigeon developed over many years of selective breeding. Parlor Rollers, along with other varieties of domesticated pigeons, are all descendants from the rock pigeon (Columba livia).[1] The breed is known for its unique, involuntary, performance of turning somersaults on the ground. Parlor Rollers are considered to be further development from the Parlor Tumbler.
Although adult parlor rollers seem to lack the capability of flight, they are generally grouped in the Flying/Sporting group of pigeons by fanciers in the United States. This is because parlor roller competitions are based almost solely on the distance that the animal rolls on the ground and the appearance of the animal is a secondary consideration.

OK, the Christmas Cards have been ordered (after they have been edited of course). So, now I need to carefully craft a very short, fifty words or less, note to slip in them that basically says, yes we are all alive, our oldest daughter is alive and well, even though her name is no longer in the family salutation, and our youngest is not as needy as it seems, since she insisted on being included. And, if there is any room left I can let family and friends know we are doing OK, without going into any annoying details.
I have always been tempted to write a two page letter that listed every malady all four of us had during the year (down to hang nails), all of our doctor appointments (in chronological order of course), every shopping excursion we took (listing the amount of money we saved), and a run down of the annual family reunion. Two things held me back - the total revulsion of the idea and the exhausting amount of time it would take.
We have several friends we can count on to deliver an annual epistle that touts the Olympic athletic talents and incredible scholarly achievements of their children. Really, like I care that their ten year old was named most valuable player on his local soccer team. Could the fact Mom brought homemade snacks and fresh squeezed juice to every practice and game have any influence? (Find it hard to believe? Skip down to paragraph 4 in the letter, she covers her "soccer mom" contributions.)
And, as for academics, little Mary Lou (at 8) was doing well at the regional spelling bee until she got tripped on the word triskaidekaphobia. Of course the winner, Haj Gupta, had an inside track and his mother doesn't even cook. Way too much information.
What happened to "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"? - besides it being politically incorrect and trite. Maybe, I'll just may it short and sweet, "All survived, still talking, nothing to write home about, waiting for the big guy in Red, have a good one, stay tuned until next year."

Yesterday was a fun day – got to spend it working on some quilting projects…
First up:
My Cornish Quilters Charity block is the above star block. We made this one 12-1/2 inches instead of our normal size which is about 10-1/2 inches. I made two blocks and they will be going into a quilt for the mother of one of our members. She furnished the white and we each furnished some sort of blue fabric. They turned out really nice.
Second up:
From my Class The Craftsy Block of the Month with Amy Gibson
January – Block No. 1 – Asterisk Block
January – Block No. 2 – Wonky Pound Sign Block
Both of these blocks were a bit of a challenge for me…I am not used to just cutting fabric and adding fabric to it and then cutting again … but I love the way the blocks turned out.
This will be a scrappy quilt – but each of the fabrics I use will have some orange in them. The white fabric will be used throughout the quilt.

Special status of mining on conservation land queried
Media Release
Thursday 19 June 2014
Environment Commissioner queries the special status of mining on conservation land
Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment Dr Jan Wright says the Government has responded positively to some recommendations from her 2010 report on mining the conservation estate – but not the most important ones.
In September 2010 Dr Wright released a report titled Making difficult decisions: Mining the conservation estate. Mining cannot take place in national parks, but can on other areas of conservation land. The Commissioner has now released an update assessing the response to her recommendations.
The 2010 report described how permission for mining on conservation land can be more easily gained than permission for other commercial activities like tourism. Last year the Government made the difference greater by changing the law so that permission is now given by the Minister of Energy & Resources along with the Minister of Conservation.
"This joint decision-making undermines the role of the Minister of Conservation as guardian of the conservation estate," said Dr Wright.
The Commissioner said that she is not against all mining on conservation land, provided conservation takes precedence.
"The greatest threat to our conservation estate is not mining, but introduced pests. There is potential for a win-win, if mining companies pay for substantial pest control."
"It is important that the law and policy be improved to ensure a net conservation benefit when mining does take place on conservation land."
A copy of the update report is available here. A copy of the original report is available here

The Location of the Battle of Gaugamela Discovered
Amid a lot of controversy about the Battle of Gaugamela?s location, it has been recently discovered that the battle took place in a location near Bardarash District in Duhok Province.
The battle, which occurred between Alexander the Great and the emperor Darius in 331 B.C, is regarded as one of the 10 greatest battles in history.
During a workshop conducted by Salahadin University hosting an archeologist and a historian from the Greek Cyprus University, instructors and students of archeology department discussed for several hours the circumstances surrounding the battle. This resulted in pinpointing exactly where Gaugamela took place.
Muhamad Abdullah Kakasoor, Dean of the College of Arts at University of Salahadin stated that the battle was previously thought to have occurred near the city of Erbil.
A team from the Greek Cyprus University visited Erbil recently to discover the real location of the battle. After a more thorough local investigation, they came to the conclusion that the battlefield was situated in the triangle of Maqloob Mountain ? Tel Gomer Village and Bardarash.
Mr. Kakasoor said, after the delegation?s visit to the site, intensive excavations will be carried out.
?The importance of this topic is that Gaugamela or sometimes called Erbela is an international historical occurrence, whoever reads the history of Alexander will come across the name Erbela which undoubtedly refers to the current city of Erbil (or Hawler).
He said that the Greek archeologists revealed that the real location of the battle is in Bardarash District rather than the place mentioned in Greek and Iranian historical sources.
?The Greek delegation has reached a conclusion, depending on their study and ancient and contemporary Greek sources that the battle occurred in Bardarash District which is a wide area suitable to be used as a battlefield. So now the actual location of the battle is settled? he argued.
The battle is believed to be the first after which the West could dominate the East powers. According to the historical sources, Darius?s army consisted of 100-200 thousand soldiers, but the technique Alexander used in the battle enabled him to win with fewer numbers of soldiers.
The Head of Archeology at Salahadin University stated during the workshop that he visited the site in Bardarash himself.
And according to the scripts and documents that Greek Cyprus University professors revealed, the site of the battle is located 90 km far away from the city of Erbil.
In addition, they say that Persian sources mention the mountain that?s now known as Maqloob which both armies passed by ahead of their arrival to Gomel River, Upper Zap and Xazir River, and both armies reached Tel Gomel (a village in Bardarash District) where there?s a wide plain of 10 km long and 5-7 km wide. He added that the area is very wide, so excavating and searching for military equipment of both armies can be challenging.
However, modern detecting equipments can facilitate searching and finding some pieces of weapons such as spears, bows and arrows or whatever made of iron and used in the fight. He also stated that excavations haven?t started yet.
According to archeologists who took part in the workshop, the outcome of this workshop will be presented to Salahadin University and KRG Council of Ministers so that the location could be surveyed and excavated thoroughly and extensively, and finally turned into a very interesting archeological site in Kurdistan Region.

While browsing the clearance rack in the produce section the other day, I came across a package of Tokyo negi for $1.99. I've never tried Tokyo negi but the price has always been prohibitive for me to experiment with (usually about six dollars per pound). The package was at least a pound. There was not a whole lot of visible damage or yellowing of the vegetable except that the stalks and green portions were separated. I was curious for a while about Tokyo negi. Was is like a leek (which I've hadn't had the opportunity to try yet either), or like a giant green onion (which I would know what to do with). In any case, $1.99 is an acceptable price for me even if the dishes were an epic fail.
In scanning through the internet, I came across this article: http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/September-2004/Savoring-the-negi/. Since Tokyo negi could be used similarly to onions and green onions, I decided to eat it with sardines. I used the oil that came with the sardines to braise the Tokyo negi.
A bowl of rice, sardines, and Tokyo negi, a perfect meal.
Because the Tokyo negi was purchased on a whim in the clearance section, I had to decide quickly what to do with it. I also wanted to do a clean preparation to focus on the Tokyo negi. Next time, I may add it to shoyu pork. Hmmm, the possibilities.
My only complaint is that the Tokyo negi is a bit more fibrous that onions, kind of got stuck in my braces. A minor annoyance.
Have a good weekend.

title=Clinton / Hungary (l-only)
byline=David Borgida
dateline=White House
voiced at:
Intro: Hungarian prime minister Gyula Horn -- following talks
with president Clinton at the White House -- is expressing
optimism about the U-S Hungarian bilateral relationship and the
prospect of Hungary becoming a NATO member in 1997. White House
correspondent David Borgida has details.
Text: Prime minister Horn's forty-five minute meeting with
president Clinton left him, in his words, "completely satisfied"
with his visit. He spoke through a translator:
///Horn translator act///
I can say indeed the U-S administration and president
Clinton helped Hungary a lot, not only in a bilateral
framework but also in our negotiations with the various
international financial institutions.
///End act///
The Clinton administration has channeled hundreds of millons of
dollars into Hungary as it makes its transition to a market
economy. Through the U-S overseas private investment
corporation, the administration is helping Hungary improve its
digital cellular telephone system.
In a statement released at the White House, president Clinton
noted Hungary's successes in its free market transformation, but
stressed the need for the government to implement its economic
program announced Marhc 12th. The president also urged prompt
conclusion of a sound agreement between Hungary and the
International MonetaryFfund, which would pave the way for
additional international support.
On the security front, prime minister Horn also expressed
optimism Hungary would be in the first wave of former east bloc
nations accepted into NATO. Again, he spoke through a
///Horn act///
I think that there will be a decision made in December,
1995. We're going to start the negotiations in 1996.
The conditions will be shaped jointly in the process of
consultations. In other words, there is a reality and
chance that we may become a member of NATO in 1997.
///End act///
However, a senior U-S official said no specific timetable was
discussed. Later, Clinton spokesman Mike McCurry said 1995 will
be a year of studying NATO expansion, with further talks in early
1996. He said there has been no speculation beyond that.
Mr. Mccurry explained the prime minister's view this way:
///McCurry act///
Clearly the commitments we've seen from Hungary as it
has pursued its own individual partnership program have
been very encouraging, and I would imagine the prime
minister's optimism is based on the close relationship
that's developing between NATO and Hungary.
///End act///
The two leaders did discuss Bosnia during their meeting, but
neither the president nor the prime minister offered any public
comments on the matter.
After their meeting, the two underscored the bilateral trade and
investment relationship by touring a bus parked on the White
House grounds. Partially produced in Hungary, it is soon to be
placed into operation in Washington, D-C.
Prime minister Horn visits a number of U-S cities before ending
his U-S visit Monday. (Signed)

voiced at:
Intro: Hungarian prime minister Gyula Horn has praised the
Clinton administration and congress for taking a lead in efforts
to strengthen democratic and market reforms in Central and
Eastern Europe. As V-o-A's Michele Kelemen reports Mr. Horn is
urging the United States to keep its investment levels up.
Text: As he wrapped up his visit to Washington, prime minister
Horn reminded U-S leaders that the economic transformation in
Central and Eastern Europe is key to stability in the region. He
says a high level U-S investment is already creating needed jobs
in Hungary and could help it meet the tough conditions for
joining the European Union. Speaking through an interpreter, he
told a luncheon at the National Press Club that his country is
not asking for handouts:
/ / / Gyula translator act / / /
What we offer and what happens in practice is none other
than business.
/ / / End act / / /
The Clinton administration has already channeled hundreds of
millions of dollars into Hungary. Mr. Horn wants the U-S
government to further encourage private investors. That was one
issue on the agenda at his final talks in Washington with
treasury secretary Robert Rubin.
Mr. Horn says the crisis in Bosnia was another key issue at his
talks with U-S congressional leaders (today/Wednesday) and in
his meeting with president Clinton on Tuesday. Mr. Horn refused
to comment on U-S policy, but speaking through his interpreter,
said his government supports any diplomatic efforts to end the
fighting. He says Serbia could play a key role if it isolates
Bosnian Serbs.
/ / / Gyula translator act / / /
It is my conviction that it is in the interests of
Serbia to completely isolate the aggressors. The most
important duty of the international community is to
convince Serbian leadership of this.
/ / / End act / / /
He said the war in Bosnia has shaken the sense of security in
Hungary and other Central European countries and he again
appealed to NATO to accept new members soon. The prime minister
continues his U-S tour in New York (signed)

Editorial- NATO's New Partner
BORIS YELTSIN, who had broken off consideration of joining NATO's Partnership
for Peace six months ago with a warning of "cold peace," has now joined.
Russia is also opening a broad security dialogue with the alliance, which it
regarded (and which regarded it) as an enemy through four decades of Cold
War. Secretary of State Warren Christopher hails the movement as "historic,"
saying that Russia is crossing "the threshold into direct engagement with
But hold on. The key geopolitical issue of the connection between NATO
and Russia has been sharpened, not resolved. A Russian role in the alliance
halfway house called Partnership has a nice ring. But it cannot mean much to
Moscow to get on the alliance's very long and not very exclusive B list. A
formal NATO-Moscow "dialogue," recognizing Russia's weight and expanding on
security contacts already in place, has more heft to it but needs to have the
substance filled out.
The fact is that NATO and Russia have divergent views on how to organize
the security of the new Europe. NATO speaks airily of someday extending
alliance membership to assorted Partners, even Russia. But many Partners will
qualify at best only in the remote future for full membership in an alliance
of democracies. And to imagine that Russia will come in is to ignore the fact
that many current members, and many Partners, see Russia first as a power
that must be balanced, not as a companion to take into camp.
Russia accepted Partnership as though it were making NATO a concession.
In return Russia expects the alliance to sideline, or at least to slow, the
idea of expanding its membership. Foreign Minister Andrei Kozyrev even
suggests that NATO abandon its military essence and become a political
Europe has not outgrown the requirement for a military alliance and for
American participation in it. The alliance should be taking in new members --
Poland, Hungary and the Czech republic are leading candidates. The way to
deal with Moscow's complaint that NATO is redividing Europe and pushing the
dividing line eastward is to keep NATO defensive and make something real of
NATO-Moscow dialogue. A special place for Russia was always the right
substitute for alliance membership. Meanwhile, if Russia is looking to get
closer to friends in the West, it can clean up its act in Chechnya.
