Republicans may be tirelessly working to rebrand their party since losing last year's race for the White House, but a recent slew of state initiatives to restrict access to abortion isn't doing this effort any favors – and may only widen the party's so-called "gender gap" in attracting women voters.
Indeed, while conservatives celebrate Texas' early-morning passage of a high-profile bill that bans most abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and places new requirements on which facilities can perform the procedure, liberals are once again railing against the party for its so-called "war on women."
Yet despite the risk of alienating female voters, the campaigns have undoubtedly energized conservatives, particularly opponents of abortion rights who compose a cornerstone of the Republican base. And conservatives argue that polling suggests that most Americans – including most women – favor limiting late-term abortions.
Texas bill one of many state battles to restrict abortionJuly 12, 201302:44
"Rhetorically, this can be really hard," said Liz Mair, a Republican strategist. For the efforts to work to their benefit, party leaders need to "figure out what [they're] going to say, and test it out in advance," she said, "and not by talking to committed pro-lifers."
The wider movement, reignited in part by the murder conviction of Philadelphia abortion provider Kermit Gosnell, has found Republicans on Capitol Hill and across the country looking to follow Texas' path in restricting access after 20 weeks.
"I think [the push] in fact helps, because one of the reasons Republicans haven't done well in the past few cycles is because the base hasn't turned out and been energized," said Sarah Huckabee Sanders, an Arkansas-based Republican strategist.
The challenge of wooing women voters
Conservative enthusiasm aside, the movement comes in the face of a real, proven struggle for the GOP to attract women voters. For as much hand-wringing consultants did after the 2012 election about Republicans' deficit among Hispanic voters, the party's struggles with women were nearly as damaging. President Barack Obama beat rival Mitt Romney by 11 points among women voters, who made up 53 percent of the electorate, according to national exit polls.
Democrats drove that wedge in part by successfully seizing upon examples – a bill in Virginia to require transvaginal ultrasounds before an abortion, or Missouri Rep. Todd Akin's comments about "legitimate rape" – of Republicans seeming hopelessly out-of-touch with women.
The experience prompted Republicans to vow to speak more softly on social issues and promote women within the party. House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., crafted a series of legislative proposals that seemed poll-tested to appeal to suburban soccer moms.
But some House conservatives balked at Cantor's measures, forcing the No. 2 Republican to shelve some of his initiatives. And the talk about a softer tone toward social issues gave way to the new abortion restrictions in some states – North Carolina, Ohio, Wisconsin and Texas – and in Congress, where the House passed a law to effectively ban most abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. (There are rumblings that Florida Sen. Marco Rubio may champion a similar measure in the Senate.)
Senator Wendy Davis: 'I don't regret' my decisionsJuly 1, 201300:33
Three of the states that have passed new abortion measures were swing states that were heavily contested in the 2012 presidential election. And the fourth state, Texas, has attracted widespread attention for the actions of state Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis to initially block the Lone Star state's proposal.
The attention these battles have generated has made Democrats downright giddy.
"These are like layups on a five-foot rim," said Brad Woodhouse, the president of the liberal advocacy group Americans United for Change. "I think the way that they're conducting themselves gives me more hope for the immediate political consequences than I'd had they followed through on what they said they'd do after the election."
Can the GOP change its face?
The prevailing fear among some Republicans is that these measures make the GOP seem unduly focused on abortion. And moreover, the party has too often relied on old, white men as their messengers in these fights.
Huckabee Sanders, the Republican strategist who favors the legislation passed by the varying states, warned against letting "old, white guys" become the face of the abortion argument.
"I think that people like me and my peers need to be more aggressive about getting out there and talking about the issues," she said.
And conservatives also argue that concerns about their legislation closing most abortion clinics are largely overstated anyway.
It's also important to note that these fights are playing out early in 2013; Akin and Mourdock's impolitic comments came at the height of a presidential election season, when even the most benign remark can be instantaneously amplified into a national controversy.
"We know midterms are different than presidential elections. So there may be a strategy related to this based on what voters they think might turn out in the midterm," Woodhouse conceded. That's not to mention that many of the Senate seats Democrats must defend in 2014 fall on more reliably Republican turf, and House seats have largely been drawn to protect GOP incumbents.
But, he added: "If they weren't already shrinking at a party based on where they were on immigration and other issues, they're certainly not doing any favors."

January in New England makes it hard to visualize the muddy turf of a baseball field after a spring thaw. But, after speaking with a group of parents recently, spring training for children's baseball starts as early as December up here with batting practice and other weekly regiments.
Teaching children the proper sporting techniques in the pre-season should promote skill development, lead to engagement, belongingness, and self-esteem—all skills and attitudes they'll one day teach others, in the spirit of Abraham Maslow, right?
I couldn't help but wonder what type of system these parents and I were standing in. So I stepped back and analyzed the evidence I had of the output. My analysis took me back to a conversation I had with my wife, Shannon, a few weeks ago about children's baseball.
We were sitting on our couch, some light jazz was playing in the background, when we talked about our friend's son who injured his arm after throwing too many pitches. We also talked about how some of our friends had seen their childrens' grades slip because of their heavy involvement in training.
A shift from scholarship to sports never seems to happen very well for many students who make sports their central focus. The fact that so many parents and children were allowing this love of sports to pull them into this "system of over-training" is worthy of reflection, I thought.
My wife was a scholar-athlete in middle school and, later, high school, where she lettered in three sports and earned recognition for maintaining a balanced existence during what is typically an unbalanced time in the life of a teenager.
I, on the other hand, turned my "sports switch" off for a bit and focused on scholarship during my high school years, which resulted in excursions and trips thanks to my programs sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Energy.
Though I was "sporty" (and from time-to-time still can be), I was struck recently as to how our current society supports economic structures such as "baseball clubs" that generate a heap of revenue with large fees and, perhaps, sparking behaviors and expectations that are not so well deserved. Not all kiddos, after all, are stars.
I know some clubs are good, but so many seem to support overplaying or over-the-top practicing, pushing children and teens to the limit. These organization don't make money if you—as a client—stop attending, so the systems within these popular community baseball hubs promote constant looping and no one seems to leave. In a world where competition is so central to being, what has happened to just belonging… as a child? I purport that many of these systems that generate patterns of behavior, like "over-sporting," can possibly confound a child's identity. To simplify the matter, our society and its systems may be systems of nothingness when we consider the adverse effects.
I am a sporty guy, I repeat, but when the pre-mature training regimens include winter agility training at age 10, I can't help but shake my head, chuckle, and exhale as I think, Gosh, tell me it isn't so.
You see, where I come from, systems promote "something," like order, self-managing, and perhaps even work ethic. Today, helicoptering parents and the over-stimulation of their children's sporting interests—whether it's baseball, soccer, or any other sport—is not going to help create capable children.
Our communities yearn for learners, not more equipment-laden kiddos scurrying off to semi-professional looking practices as they turn 10. We need systems of something-ness.
Next time a colleague, friend, or family member brags about their five-, eight-, or 10-year-old super-sportster, don't be negative. Instead, simply and nicely acknowledge their child's apparent contribution to the community from the sporting perspective, then ask them in that same nice tone, "How has sports training crossed over to promote work ethic and learning at school and home?"
Chances are fairly high that the "pause" you'll get from them is the systemic intervention your parent-friend needs to make the connection or clearly see a gap worth noting.
Let's all start contributing and participating in a systems of something-ness with our children.

Zoylee Sets New Milestones After Successfully Kick Starting its Operations in Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Jaipur; Partner Network Nearing 2000 Salons, Spas, and Parlours
In line with its PAN-India expansion strategy, Zoylee has recently announced the strengthening of its presence in three new cities namely Lucknow, Chandigarh, and Jaipur. The expansion comes on the heels of the recognition and popularity that Zoylee is gaining after its successful launch in top-tier North Indian cities, including New Delhi, Noida, Gurugram, Ghaziabad and Agra, among others. And with its foray into these new markets, Zoylee aims at tapping the unprecedented opportunities by bringing salons, spas, parlours, and barbershops as well as the end-consumers under one umbrella for easy appointment booking and delivery of services.
The Indian hair, beauty, and grooming sector is rapidly evolving with its current estimation exceeding INR 20,000 Crores figure. However, it is also a fact that the industry itself is largely unorganized and fragmented and a vast majority of salons and spas in the country still rely on traditional ways of operations. On the other hand, for consumers, too, finding the right salons/barbershops and long waiting times has always been a big problem. And this is where Zoylee is making a difference with its innovative tech-based platform.
While speaking at an event, Deepak Tiwari, Zoylee's Co-Founder, and CEO, said, "It feels so good to see the concept of Zoylee getting materialized and in this fashion. It's very gratifying and I'm so very proud of the team. We have been the ones to understand the core problems of today's salon, spa and parlor owners and the end-users. We always thought of having something interesting and innovative in place to address the current problems. But with Zoylee, we are able to add more values to our partners' businesses while also making life easier for the consumers."
Elaborating further about the PAN-India expansion plan, he said, "We have got a terrific response from our partners and the users in Delhi NCR and other cities and by launching Zoylee in Lucknow, Jaipur, and Chandigarh. The next cities on our radar are Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore – India's hub for beauty, grooming and fashion and we'll be going down south by mid-2022. Our target is to get Zoylee operational in as many as 50 cities by the end of 2022 and the team is all geared up to make this happen. In terms of strategic tie-ups and partnerships, the tally is currently hovering around 2000 partners with some top players in the network like VLCC, Glam Studios, NS4, Shades, and Jawed Habib Franchises, among many others. And we expect this number to be somewhere close to 6000 by next year's end. Zoylee's new year resolution is to stay the same from the roots – but get bigger and better."
All in all, from conceptualization to product development to establishing strategic partnerships with partners in different cities, Zoylee has come a long way and is on a mission to revolutionize the salon and spa industry with its futuristic approach.
About Zoylee
Zoylee is a first-of-its-kind spa and salon booking application that has been designed to bridge the gap between partner businesses and consumers. Having approximately 2000 outlets in its partner network and counting in 15 cities, Zoylee has got enough options for the end-users to choose from.
One can explore top-rated service providers – from standalone salons, spas, and barbershops in their neighborhood to some of the most premium brands like VLCC, Glam Studios, NS4, Shades, and Jawed Habib Franchises, compare prices of different outlets and select their own date and time for appointments and book it with real-time confirmation. What makes Zoylee unique is that it eliminates the need of waiting for one's turn; by making reservations through Zoylee, users can simply show up at their chosen timeslot and get the services done.

2 Essential Oils to Keep the Bugs Away
This blog does not intend to provide diagnosis...
Try these two essential oils to keep bugs away.
Mosquitoes, gnats, flies, bees, and wasps are an ever-present nuisance for many people. Not only are these insects annoying, but they can cause pain and allergic reactions if they bite.
One natural way to keep these bugs away is to use lemongrass essential oil. Citrus is a scent that these insects don't like, and it can help to keep them away. A person can also employ the use of peppermint essential oil to keep pests away.
Simply find an opaque spray bottle and add one-half cup of water and 20 drops of the lemongrass or peppermint oil. Stir to mix, and then spritz over any exposed skin. It can also be sprayed on clothes as well as on windowsills.

"The Martha Stewart Show," the domestic diva's flagship TV property, is to close at the end of the broadcast season in April — a victim of poor ratings, The Post has learned.
Hallmark Channel, its current home, has informed Martha Stewart Living Omnimedia that the economics of the show in its current form just don't work anymore, given the sparse audience.
Handed the discouraging news, Martha's TV family is planning a lavish Oprah-style send off for the program, according to sources close to the situation.
Part of the problem for the show is the sky-high production costs. Last month, Lisa Gersh, president of MSLO, seemed to acknowledge that precise issue.
"Our expensive studio lease is expiring next year, and we will either bring television in-house or find lower cost space, which will significantly reduce our TV operating margins," Gersh told a UBS investor conference.
A spokeswoman for MSLO told The Post that "The Martha Stewart Show" and the entire programming block, which includes "Emeril's Table," "Mad Hungry" with Lucinda Scala Quinn, and "Martha Bakes," will continue at least through September.
"We love working with The Hallmark Channel and are talking to them about daytime programming in the future as well," the spokeswoman said.
Sources said shows past April will be repeats.
Cable industry sources say Hallmark is in talks about what other roles Martha might play in other shows from the MSLO stable. However, others told The Post that Hallmark has plans to expand its lifestyle lineup beyond Stewart's contribution.
The show averaged 225,000 viewers in 2011, and 41,000 viewers in the key demographic of females aged 25-54, according to Nielsen.
MSLO, which is working with talent agency CAA to expand its TV interests, has been pitching a bunch of ideas to the broadcast networks featuring the 70-year old Stewart as a make-over specialist.
Gersh, who joined MSLO last June, has been shaking up the company and recently announced that retailer JCPenney was taking a 16.6 percent stake in it for $38 million.
That move upset other partners, such as Macy's, which is about to launch a Martha-branded table-top line.
Separately, MSLO retail partner Home Depot confirmed yesterday that its current deal to sell Martha Stewart-branded paint has dried to an unflattering finish — it will no longer sell Martha Stewart Living-branded paints but will go forward with a more limited agreement with Stewart that gives customers the ability to mix Martha's color palette into Glidden-branded paints.
In a statement provided to The Post, the retailer praised the product's colors but said: "The response to the paint base has not been as strong with consumers who are looking to mix the colors with our other paint brands. We will retain the Martha Stewart Living color palette, which will be formulated to mix in Glidden paint."
Some Home Depot stores in New York state this past weekend were selling Martha Stewart Living paint at a 50 percent discount to clear their shelves.

Perseids bring fiery show to August sky
The Perseids are coming the most famous, predictable, and visible meteor shower in the Northern Hemisphere.
August is the time of year when astronomers and the rest of us bond. No telescopes, not even binoculars, are needed just a comfortable dark spot flat on your back, be it hammock, lounge chair, or blanket, looking slightly northeast and toward the zenith after 10 p.m. on Aug. 11.
If you're fortunate enough to be by a lake, take a rowboat out, pull in the oars, and lean back.
Memories easily connect warm summer nights and the Perseids. For children, it's often the first time that looking up at the stars means something exciting will happen. Not just a chance glimpse at a "shooting star," but the awe of watching meteor after meteor streak across the sky.
The "shooting stars" or meteors we see throughout the year are a tiny fraction of the myriad streams of comet dust in space. Our best two meteor showers each year are the Perseids and the Geminids (in December, peaking around the 14th), each named after the constellations from which they appear to come.
Of course, "shooting stars" is just an expression. Stars are astronomically large, often many times the size of our sun, and too incomprehensively far away to "shoot" across our relatively puny skies. This is a good thing. Were even the smallest star to come barreling toward Earth, well, let's not think about it.
The Perseids are the size of a grain of sand zooming along at 132,000 m.p.h. They are visible for only a second or two but their incandescent images linger in memory much longer. Predictions this year are that the shower will peak at upward of 60 meteors an hour at 2 a.m. on Aug. 12 and again on the 13th.
The first arrivals start in dribs and drabs about a week before the 12th, and continue, petering out, for about a week.
They are galactic residue of comet Swift-Tuttle which every 130 years sweeps in from deep space beyond the planet Pluto. The comet hurtles through the plane of our solar system not far (but far enough not to pose a threat) from Earth's orbit.
The first reported sighting of the Perseids was in the Chinese annals in 36 AD when "more than 100 meteors flew thither in the morning."
How does the shower happen?
Comets are giant snowballs with stellar dust frozen inside. The comet's ice traps the dust. But as a comet travels close to our sun, the ice particles heat up. They become gases (just think of dry ice) pulled along in the comet's tail.
As the ice is transformed into gas, dust particles in the ice escape and float free. The particles continue to orbit in the gravitational field of the comet, following it like the wake from a ship spreading farther and farther from the comet. The result is a band of tiny particles traversing the sun in an enormous elliptical ring.
And every year, as the Earth crosses this ring, the dust particles burn up, incandesce, when they collide with the atmosphere, causing the phenomenon we marvel at a meteor shower.
The point of impact between the earth's orbit and the meteors' orbit is called the radiant. The Perseids' radiant, occurs close to the constellation Perseus (hence their name), just below the constellation Cassiopeia, the ancient queen fated to remain seated on her throne for eternity. You can easily identify her as a large W on its side.
The impact takes place some 80 miles above Earth's surface. And before the dust particles are five times the height of our highest-flying commercial aircraft, they "flame out."
Since they are only dust particles, this also means they will not cause the life-ending impacts Hollywood has made so much of lately.
The rotation of Earth, combined with its summer tilt southward, causes the viewing angle of the point of impact to shift each night from the horizon in early evening toward the zenith later. Viewing is best when the shower is directly overhead. "Midnight to four, you'll see more," not only rhymes, but is Astronomy 101 when it comes to seeing the Perseids.
Felicitously, the moon will be absent from northern skies between Aug. 4 and 13. There will be no moonlight to compete with (obstruct) the flare that goes up on impact. This is no small point since to the naked eye the Perseids shine in a dark sky at what astronomers call a magnitude 3 (see story below on the "apparent brightness scale"). Although, thin cirrus clouds can hinder viewing.
A dark backyard in the burbs on a clear night is a safe bet for a good look. Ideally, head for the country, far from city lights.
Light from the Andromeda galaxy, faintly seen with the naked eye in very dark skies, took 2-1/2 million years to reach Earth. And though billions and billions of stars comprise Andromeda, the fact remains that it is so distant the unaided eye only sees it as a faint, tiny cloud in space.
There are two reasons stars are unequally bright in the sky. Individual stars are at different distances from Earth. Stars emit differing degrees of brightness based on their size and intrinsic thermonuclear properties. It wasn't until this past century that astronomers realized just how great the distances from Earth to stars actually are.
But before astronomers even had the telescope or the many sensitive light-sensing instruments they possess today, they had a short-hand way of measuring the brightness of stars (and other objects like galaxies, even if they didn't know they were galaxies) as seen from Earth. They used a scale called "apparent magnitude" to quickly indicate the brightness of stars as they appear to observers on Earth.
This apparent brightness scale is an old scale, invented by the astronomer Hipparchus, who lived and worked in the city of Alexandria in northern Africa 2,100 years ago. At the time, Alexandria was a hotbed of astronomical observations.
Hipparchus called bright stars, like Rigel and Betelgeuse in the constellation Orion, stars of the "first magnitude." He called the faintest stars, "sixth magnitude" stars. That's as far as he could see. (Remember, this is all by the naked eye because the telescope wasn't invented until more than 1,600 years later.) Andromeda is a sixth magnitude object.
Today, astronomers still use Hipparchus's scale as a basis for measuring the brightness of stars and other celestial objects, but it has been made much more exact. With the invention of the telescope it was possible to extend the scale of apparent brightness to see stars much fainter than the sixth magnitude. The higher you go in the scale the fainter the object. The Hubble telescope can see to a magnitude of plus 32 and plus 33.
At the other end of the scale, a few stars (or planets like Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Jupiter and, of course, the sun and moon) are so bright they have been assigned negative magnitudes on the modern scale.
For the amateur astronomer, seeing the numbers plus 0.7 in front of Saturn immediately indicates this will be easily visible. Whereas one of its moons, Tethys at plus 10.2, means a telescope at least 6 inches in diameter is needed.
The brightness scale can be precise, but remember it is only telling you the luminosity of an object. It cannot determine distance or size.
A good example of this is the planet Mars with a minus 2.0 magnitude,while its two moons, Phobos plus 11.3 and Deimos plus 12.4, require a powerful telescope to be seen at all. Though each is tiny relative to Mars, each is relatively close to Mars. Both are difficult to spot because of the light cast by Mars.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer in Mammals (1938-2013)
In the second half of the
twentieth century, scientists learned how to clone organisms in some
species of mammals. Scientists have applied somatic cell nuclear transfer to clone human and
mammalian embryos as a means to produce stem cells for laboratory
and medical use. Somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) is a technology applied in cloning, stem cell
research and regenerative medicine. Somatic cells are cells that
have gone through the differentiation process and are not germ
cells. Somatic cells donate their nuclei, which scientists

Stem Cell Tourism
When James Thomson of the University of Wisconsin announced in 1998 that he had derived and cultured human embryonic stem cells(hESCs), Americans widely believed-and accepted-that stem cells would one day be the basis of a multitude of regenerative medical techniques. Researchers promised that they would soon be able to cure a variety of diseases and injuries such as cancer, diabetes, Parkinson's, spinal cord injuries, severe burns, and many others. But it wasn't until January 2009 that the Food and Drug Administration approved the first human clinical trials using hESCs.

Purkinje Cells
Purkinje cells, also called Purkinje neurons, are neurons in vertebrate animals located in the cerebellar cortex of the brain. Purkinje cell bodies are shaped like a flask and have many threadlike extensions called dendrites, which receive impulses from other neurons called granule cells. Each cell also has a single projection called an axon, which transmits impulses to the part of the brain that controls movement, the cerebellum. Purkinje cells are inhibitory neurons: they secrete neurotransmitters that bind to receptors that inhibit or reduce the firing of other neurons.

Translational Developmental Biology
Translational developmental biology is a growing approach to studying biological phenomena that explicitly aims to develop medical therapies. When discussing the generation of new therapies it is often argued that they will emerge as a "translation" from "fundamental biology." Although translational research is not a new term, "translational developmental biology" has been steadily gaining popularity as discoveries in cell and developmental biology, particularly those involving stem cells, provide a basis for regenerative medicine.

"A Two-Factor Hypothesis of Freezing Injury: Evidence from Chinese Hamster Tissue-Culture Cells" (1972), by Peter Mazur, Stanley Leibo, and Ernest Chu
In 1972, Peter Mazur, Stanley Leibo, and Ernest Chu published, "A Two-Factor Hypothesis of Freezing Injury: Evidence from Chinese Hamster Tissue-culture Cells," hereafter, "A Two-Factor Hypothesis of Freezing Injury," in the journal, Experimental Cell Research. In the article, the authors uncover that exposure to high salt concentrations and the formation of ice crystals within cells are two factors that can harm cells during cryopreservation. Cryopreservation is the freezing of cells to preserve them for storage, study, or later use.

Telomeres and Telomerase in Cellular Aging (Senescence)
Telomeres are sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from sticking to each other or tangling, which could cause irregularities in normal DNA functions. As cells replicate, telomeres shorten at the end of chromosomes, which correlates to senescence or cellular aging. Integral to this process is telomerase, which is an enzyme that repairs telomeres and is present in various cells in the human body, especially during human growth and development.

Telomerase in Human Development
Telomerase is an enzyme that regulates the lengths of telomeres in the cells of many organisms, and in humans it begins to function int the early stages of embryonic development. Telomeres are repetitive sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that protect chromosomes from sticking to each other or tangling. In 1989, Gregg Morin found that telomerase was present in human cells. In 1996, Woodring Wright and his team examined human embryonic cells and found that telomerase was active in them. Scientists manipulate telomerase in cells to give cells the capacity to replicate infinitely.

Julia Barlow Platt's Embryological Observations on Salamanders' Cartilage (1893)
In 1893, Julia Barlow Platt published her research on the origins of cartilage in the developing head of the common mudpuppy (Necturus maculosus) embryo. The mudpuppy is an aquatic salamander commonly used by embryologists because its large embryonic cells and nuclei are easy to see. Platt followed the paths of cells in developing mudpuppy embryos to see how embryonic cells migrated during the formation of the head. With her research, Platt challenged then current theories about germ layers, the types of cells in an early embryo that develop into adult cells.

Reassessment of Carrel's Immortal Tissue Culture Experiments
In the 1910s, Alexis Carrel, a French surgeon and biologist, concluded that cells are intrinsically immortal. His claim was based on chick-heart tissue cultures in his laboratory that seemed to be able to proliferate forever. Carrel's ideas about cellular immortality convinced his many contemporaries that cells could be maintained indefinitely. In the 1960s, however, Carrel's thesis about cell immortality was put into question by the discovery that human diploid cells can only proliferate for a finite period.

Neural Crest
Early in the process of development, vertebrate embryos develop a fold on the neural plate where the neural and epidermal ectoderms meet, called the neural crest. The neural crest produces neural crest cells (NCCs), which become multiple different cell types and contribute to tissues and organs as an embryo develops. A few of the organs and tissues include peripheral and enteric (gastrointestinal) neurons and glia, pigment cells, cartilage and bone of the cranium and face, and smooth muscle.

The endothelium is the layer of cells lining the blood vessels in animals. It weighs more than one kilogram in adult humans, and it covers a surface area of 4000 to 7000 square meters. The endothelium is the cellular interface between the circulating blood and underlying tissue. As the medium between these two sets of tissues, endothelium is part of many normal and disease processes throughout the body.

Some of the Cells that Arise from Animal Gastrulas with Three Germ Layers
From a developing embryos three primary germ layers, ectoderm (green), mesoderm (pink) and endoderm (yellow), a variety of differentiated cell types and organ systems arise, far more than are shown here. The three primary germ layers are shown during the gastrula stage because they become distinct at the gastrula stage. The germ cells (blue) are pre- cursors to sperm and egg cells, and they are set aside early in development, and are thought to arise from the ectoderm.

Interspecies SCNT-derived Humanesque Blastocysts
Since the 1950s, scientists have developed interspecies blastocysts in laboratory settings, but not until the 1990s did proposals emerge to engineer interspecies blastocysts that contained human genetic or cellular material. Even if these embryos were not permitted to mature to fetal stages, their ethical and political status became debated within nations attempting to use them for research.

"On the Origin of Mitosing Cells" (1967), by Lynn Sagan
On the Origin of Mitosing Cells by Lynn Sagan appeared in the March 1967 edition of the Journal of Theoretical Biology. At the time the article was published, Lynn Sagan had divorced astronomer Carl Sagan, but kept his last name. Later, she remarried and changed her name to Lynn Margulis, and will be referred to as such throughout this article. In her 1967 article, Margulis develops a theory for the origin of complex cells that have enclosed nuclei, called eukaryotic cells.

Subject: Publications, Theories
Mitochondria are organelles found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. They are composed of an outer membrane and an inner membrane. The outer membrane faces the cellular cytoplasm, while the inner membrane folds back on itself multiple times, forming inner folds, called cristae. The space between the two membrane layers is called the intermembrane space, and the space within the inner membrane is called the matrix.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is located outside the nucleus in the liquid portion of the cell (cytoplasm) inside cellular organelles called Mitochondria. Mitochondria are located in all complex or eukaryotic cells, including plant, animal, fungi, and single celled protists, which contain their own mtDNA genome. In animals with a backbone, or vertebrates, mtDNA is a double stranded, circular molecule that forms a circular genome, which ranges in size from sixteen to eighteen kilo-base pairs, depending on species. Each mitochondrion in a cell can have multiple copies of the mtDNA genome.

The Role of the Notch Signaling Pathway in Myogenesis
Among other functions, the Notch signaling pathway forestalls the process of myogenesis in animals. The Notch signaling pathway is a pathway in animals by which two adjacent cells within an organism use a protein named Notch to mechanically interact with each other. Myogenesis is the formation of muscle that occurs throughout an animal's development, from embryo to the end of life. The cellular precursors of skeletal muscle originate in somites that form along the dorsal side of the organism.

The Development of the Neural Crest and the Migration of Neural Crest Cells (NCCs) in the Embryos of Various Vertebrates
This diagram shows how NCCs migrate differently in rats, birds and amphibians. The arrows represent both chronology of NCCs migration and the differential paths that NCCs follow in different classes of animals. The solid black portion of each illustration represents the neural crest, and the large black dots in (c) and in (f) represent the neural crest cells. The speckled sections that at first form a basin in (a) and then close to form a tube in (f) represent the neural ectoderm. The solid white portions represent the epidermal ectoderm.

The Neuron Doctrine (1860-1895)
The neuron doctrine is a concept formed during the turn of the twentieth century that describes the properties of neurons, the specialized cells that compose the nervous system. The neuron doctrine was one of two major theories on the composition of the nervous system at the time. Advocates of the neuron doctrine claimed that the nervous system was composed of discrete cellular units. Proponents of the alternative reticular theory, on the other hand, argued that the entire nervous system was a continuous network of cells, without gaps or synapses between the cells.

The French Flag Model
The French flag model represents how embryonic cells receive and respond to genetic information and subsequently differentiate into patterns. Created by Lewis Wolpert in the late 1960s, the model uses the French tricolor flag as visual representation to explain how embryonic cells can interpret genetic code to create the same pattern even when certain pieces of the embryo are removed. Wolpert's model has provided crucial theoretical framework for investigating universal mechanisms of pattern formation during development.

Fetal Programming
Fetal programming, or prenatal programming, is a concept that suggests certain events occurring during critical points of pregnancy may cause permanent effects on the fetus and the infant long after birth. The concept of fetal programming stemmed from the fetal origins hypothesis, also known as Barker's hypothesis, that David Barker proposed in 1995 at the University of Southampton in Southampton, England.

Neurocristopathies are a class of pathologies in vertebrates,
including humans, that result from abnormal expression, migration,
differentiation, or death of neural crest cells (NCCs) during embryonic development. NCCs are cells
derived from the embryonic cellular structure called the neural crest.
Abnormal NCCs can cause a neurocristopathy by chemically affecting the
development of the non-NCC tissues around them. They can also affect the
development of NCC tissues, causing defective migration or

Lynn Petra Alexander Sagan Margulis (1938-2011)
Lynn Petra Alexander Sagan Margulis was an American biologist, whose work in the mid-twentieth century focused on cells living together in a mutually advantageous relationship, studied cells and mitochondria in the US during the second half of the twentieth century. She developed a theory for the origin of eukaryotic cells, that proposed two kinds of structures found in eukaryotic cells mitochondria in animals, and plastids in plantsÑwere once free-living bacteria that lived harmoniously and in close proximity to larger cells, a scenario called symbiosis.

The Hayflick Limit
The Hayflick Limit is a concept that helps to explain the
mechanisms behind cellular aging. The concept states that a normal human
cell can only replicate and divide forty to sixty times before it
cannot divide anymore, and will break down by programmed cell death
or apoptosis. The concept of the Hayflick Limit revised Alexis
Carrel's earlier theory, which stated that cells can replicate
themselves infinitely. Leonard Hayflick developed the concept while

There were 6 a.m. calls from Finnish certificate authorities and also some pretty harsh words from his peers in the security community, even an accidentally leaked Black Hat presentation, but after managing the response to one of the most highly publicized Internet flaws in recent memory, Dan Kaminsky said Wednesday that he'd do it all over again.
Kaminsky's full-time job over the past few months has been working with software vendors and Internet companies to fix a widespread flaw in the DNS (domain name system), used by computers to find each other on the Internet. Kaminsky first disclosed the problem on July 8, warning corporate users and Internet service providers to patch their software as quickly as possible.
On Wednesday, he disclosed more details of the issue during a crowded session at the Black Hat conference, describing a dizzying array of attacks that could exploit DNS. Kaminsky also talked about some of the work he'd done to fix critical Internet services that could also be hit with this attack.
By exploiting a series of bugs in the way the DNS protocol works, Kaminsky had figured out a way to very quickly fill DNS servers with inaccurate information. Criminals could use this technique to redirect victims to fake Web sites, but in Kaminsky's talk he described many more possible types of attacks.
He described how the flaw could be used to compromise e-mail messages, software updating systems or even password recovery systems on popular Web sites.
And though many had thought that SSL (Secure Socket Layer) connections were impervious to this attack, Kaminsky also showed how even the SSL certificates used to confirm the validity of Web sites could be circumvented with a DNS attack. The problem, he said, is that the companies that issue SSL certificates use Internet services like e-mail and the Web to validate their certificates. "Guess how secure that is in the face of a DNS attack," Kaminsky said. "Not very."
"SSL's not the panacea we would like it to be," he said.
Another major problem has been what Kaminsky says is the "forgot my password" attack. This affects many companies that have Web-based password recovery systems. Criminals could claim to have forgotten a user's password to the Web site and then use DNS hacking techniques to trick the site into sending the password to their own computer.
In addition to the DNS vendors, Kaminsky said he'd worked with companies such as Google, Facebook, Yahoo and eBay to fix the various problems related to the flaw. "I do not want to see my cell phone bill this month," he said.
Although some conference attendees said Wednesday that Kaminsky's talk was overhyped, OpenDNS CEO David Ulevitch said that the IOActive researcher has performed a valuable service to the Internet community. "The entire scope of the attack is even yet to be fully realized," he said. "This affects every single person on the Internet."
There have been some hiccups, however. Two weeks after Kaminsky first discussed the problem, technical details of the bug were accidentally leaked to the Internet by security company Matasano Security. Also, some high-traffic DNS servers stopped working properly after the initial patch was applied, and several firewall products that do Internet Protocol address translation have inadvertently undone some of the DNS changes made to address this problem.
In an interview after his Black Hat presentation, Kaminsky said that despite all the hassles, he'd still do the same thing again. "Hundreds of millions of people are safer," he said. "Things didn't go perfectly, but it went so much better than I had any right to expect."

Notebook hard disk drives work in the same way as pc hard disk drives. The sole difference between the two is that parts utilized in notebook hard disk drives are actually appreciably more compact in size, meaning they usually are tougher to do data recovery, disk recovery, drive recovery or hard drive recovery services on.

Lemmy: The Movie Movie Trailer
[flv:http://bitcast-a.bitgravity.com/slashfilm/trailers/lemmy.flv 460 346]
On any given Saturday, you can flick on the TV and witness bloated, aged rock stars spinning self-mythologizing yarns. Bad designer sunglasses, ridiculous hair extensions, and orange skin are a must, and toss on a runny dollop of eyeliner to impress today's Guitar Heroes. Thankfully, next year sees the release of a feature-length documentary on Lemmy, the 60something frontman of Motörhead...with the 60something Belial on his cheek.
Directed by Greg Olliver and music journalist Wes Orshoski, Lemmy: The Movie, proposes that the film's subject is the most substantial rocker/lifer of his generation and maybe ever, complete with testimonials and endorsements from Slash, Ozzy, The Clash's Mick Jones, drunken hooligans and the guy who started Foo Fighters. Slashfilm would like to propose that Lemmy was born with a drink in his hand, not unlike comedian Neil Hamburger. Lemmy also warrants his own Internet show where he can spew filthy jokes like the blood diamond at this end of this trailer.
Lemmy: The Movie (nice title) opens TBA 2009.Discuss: Who rocks to the nth more than Lemmy?

I'm trying to see if someone can answer this question for me in simple terms. Basically I want to know what is going to happen to my signal as it's going to be transferred and how multiple equalizers, crossovers, and gains will affect it. So basically, my head unit has a built in equalizer and crossover (they're not that great though.) From my head unit the signal will go to an external equalizer I have. From the equalizer the signal is going to go into a stetsom 3way 6 channel crossover. The crossover is a crossover (obviously). From the stetsom crossover the signal will go into my full range amps. I have 2 amps, one for mids and one for highs. Now to make things even more confusing the crossover has individual gain knobs and so do the amps. Both of those amps have crossovers on them too. So how will the crossovers affect the crossovers when the signal transfers from one device to the other? And how about the equalizers? My guess would be to keep the crossover and equalizer settings flat on the head unit. Use the external eq for eq. Now the confusing part is I don't know how the crossovers act with eachother. Does one fine tune the other? Should you try to match them? I hope this makes sense. If someone could help that would be great lol and yes I tried google

Pentagon Exam Calls Protests 'Low-Level Terrorism,' Angering Activists
Wednesday, June 17, 2009
By James Osborne
A written exam administered by the Pentagon labels "protests" as a form of "low-level terrorism" – enraging civil liberties advocates and activist groups who say it shows blatant disregard of the First Amendment.
The written exam, given as part of Department of Defense employees' routine training, includes a multiple-choice question that asks:
"Which of the following is an example of low-level terrorism?"
– Attacking the Pentagon
– IEDs
– Hate crimes against racial groups
– Protests
The correct answer, according to the exam, is "Protests."
"Its part of a pattern of equating dissent and protest with terrorism," said Ann Brick, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union, which obtained a copy of the question after a Defense Department employee who was taking the test printed the screen on his or her computer terminal.
"It undermines the core constitutional values the Department of Defense is supposed to be defending," Brick said, referring to the First Amendment right to peaceably assemble.
She said the ACLU has asked the Defense Department to remove the question and send out a correction to all employees who took the exam.
"There were other employees who were unhappy with it and disturbed by it," Brick said.
Pentagon spokesman Lt. Col. Les Melnyk said the Defense Department is looking into the matter and expects to provide more information later Wednesday.
"We need to determine if it's something we're currently doing," Melnyk said. "A lot of the information in this exam is intended for people stationed abroad. We counsel those people to avoid demonstrations."
Anti-war protesters, who say they have been targets of federal surveillance for years, were livid when they were told about the exam question.
"That's illegal," said George Martin, national co-chairman of United for Peace and Justice. "Protest in terms of legal dissent has to be recognized, especially by the authorities.
"It's not terrorism or a lack of patriotism. We care enough to be active in our government."
Bill Wilson, president of the Americans for Limited Government, which supported the Tea Party demonstrations earlier this year, agreed.
"Groups like Al Qaeda and Hezbollah, paramilitary orgainzations that are striking at out at something they oppose or hate, that's terrorism," Wilson said.
"To equate that in any degree with citizens being able to express themselves seems to me to be headed down a road where all dissent is suspect and questionable."
Ben Friedman, a research fellow at the Cato Institute in Washington, said the U.S. government has a long history of infringing upon citizens' civil liberties in the name of domestic security.
"It's the kind of thing that happens when you have large security bureaucracies, which is why they need to be kept in check," Friedman said. "These things tend to occur in times of panic, like after Sept. 11."
The ACLU, in a letter of complaint it sent to the Defense Department, catalogued a list of what it said were recent civil liberties violations by federal authorities, including the monitoring of anti-war protests and the FBI's surveillance of potential protesters at the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York.
Martin said getting information on the extent of the FBI and National Security Agency's surveillance programs is nearly impossible.
"I have been arrested within 100 yards of George W. Bush and spoken out against the policies of our government in more than 100 countries," he said. "But they said they have no record on me. I don't believe that."
During Bush's presidency, the Defense Department was criticized for infringing on citizens' civil rights through surveillance programs designed to protect the nation against terrorist attacks. Brick said she has seen no indication that there will be a change in policy under President Obama.
"We need to see what they do," she said. "In a number of areas the Obama administration has not backed off and kept the Bush administration line."

Striking rainbow shines in Baltimore
Whether up in Hampden or downtown at Camden Yards, Baltimore residents were greeted on Friday by a particularly distinct rainbow. Might it have been a sign from Mother Nature about the return of same-sex marriage to California, or just an omen signaling an exciting Orioles win?
Okay, okay, it was probably just a climate-caused optical phenomenon. Still pretty cool. We've collected photographs from Baltimore Sun staff and Darkroom readers. Share yours using @baltimoresun on Twitter or Instagram, and it could be featured here!

Teachers Teaching Teachers #42 - What infrastructures do teachers need?
Bud Hunt and two staff members (technology leaders/thinkers/organizers/teachers) from the National Writing Project (NWP), Christina Cantrill and Paul Oh got together with us to discuss questions that Bud had raised on the NWP's Tech Liaison Listserv.
This was a discussion between Bud Hunt, Christina Cantrill, Paul Oh, and Jeff Lebow–along with Paul Allison, Pat Delaney, Susan Ettenheim, and Lee Baber.
We invite you to listen to the podcast, and also read the collection of voices on this post, dealing with similar questions:
Many of us who are innovators at our schools and local Writing Projects, would agree with Alice Mercer when she writes in the EdTechTalk chat (2/28/07): "The JOY of what I do (the anarchist approach to blogging, I do my own thing within district rules with "free" stuff) is that I don't have to do deal with ISET (district techs)."
But what about the next step, what about early adopters (the wave after the innovators), and what happens when we become the district techs? In the chat, Bud responds to Alice by asking, "Can we set up tools and resources for students and teachers that both build on the success of Writing Project programs — and also serve as recruitment tools forNWP and other situations?" Bud also hopes that these tools and resources can "free folks [the innovators] from the limitations of their nights and weekends spent doing this stuff on their own." Bud would also like to use these tools and resources to "further… some of the good ideals of theNWP."
Sharon Peters adds (in the chat): "Tonight I was at a pres[entation] by Teachers Without Borders - they are seeking ways to find teacher to train teachers in developing nations - I am seeing a number of different org[anizations] all trying to achieve this - looks like the wheel is being reinvented with a lot of people setting up their own 'shop'."
One such "shop" are local and National Writing Project initiatives, another is EdTechTalk and WorldBridges. Tech Liaisons in local Writing Project sites, such as Bud in Colorado and Paul Allison in New York City, have been working to provide the teachers at their sites with the infrastructure they need to bring blogging and other technologies into their classrooms. And the local sites have had a lot of support in this work from people and funds from the National Writing Project.
This week's webcast was a discussion about how these — and many other — communities can work together.
At the end of a WorldBridges/EdTechTalk planning meeting that was webcast live last week, Dave Cormier, envisions the kind of support that he and Jeff Lebow hope to be setting up at WorldBridges as they incorporate:
I'm very concerned about setting up any kind of system that's going to take a lot of people hours to keep running. I'm hoping to help develop a streamlined system that gets teachers with really good ideas to people who are going to save them weeks and weeks in pain and misery that they're otherwise going through now. Because I know myself when I first started using technology in the classroom, I wasted months and months of my time learning how to do stuff, and then someone went, "Well, why don't you just use this?" And I went, "Because I didn't know it existed!" … I want to have a place where people can go to that is non-aligned, as agnostic as possible, and is just interested to help those [educational technology] projects come to fruition.
GO DAVE! Seriously, many of us who are technology innovators and leaders in our schools, districts and Writing Projects hear echoes of our own thinking expressed clearly here by Dave Cormier.
"Teachers Teaching Teachers" and "Youth Voices" are two projects where Writing Project teachers have found "non-aligned, as agnostic as possible" support and community. In this webcast we began to look at how the Writing Project networks support the work ofWorldBridges/EdTechTalk, and at how valuable it has been for Writing Project teachers to participate in the WorldBridges/EdTechTalk "community of communities," as Jeff Lebow likes to describe their project.
There's so much more! Please listen to this podcast, and tune us in this week at 9:00 PM (Eastern) on EdTechTalk.com as we pick up this conversation again.
Joining us this week to discuss these questions will be Lynne Culp, UCLA Writing Project, Eric Hoefler, Northern Virginia Writing Project, and Troy Hicks, Red Cedar Writing Project.

Trip planning includes both electrically operated and non-electrified vehicles. In addition to the order data referring to the cargo to be delivered, the power levels of the electric vehicles and the building's energy management data are taken into account. The system thus makes it easier for parcel service providers to deploy electric mobility solutions without running the risk of being unable to serve all customers due to range restrictions.
iHub - Intelligent IT-based platform for e-mobile, sustainable and efficient infrastructure
The aim of the iHub project is to develop an IT platform that allows logistics service providers to operate a mixed, partly electrified vehicle fleet in a cost-effective manner.
Development of an IT-based platform
An IT-based platform is developed for the control of building energy management, charging management, and trip management related to partially electrified vehicle fleets.
Integration of holistic mobility, platform, and logistics concepts
Intelligent integration of holistic mobility, platform, and logistics concepts is ensured by incorporating building and vehicle data into a dynamic routing and scheduling system, which is combined with new vehicle technology.

"Idol's" David Hernandez Wants to Be "Rent" Boy
TMZ has learned that "AI" wannabeen David Hernandez has come to the Big Apple to audition for the cast of Broadway's "Rent." Hey -- beats strippin' for a livin'!
We caught up with Hernandez on his way into town, and when we pressed him about his tryout, all he would say was that he was auditioning for a show called "Lease." ("Lease" ... "Rent" ... Is he really making a "Team America: World Police" ref? You decide.)
Arizona Dave also seemed a little bewildered by the big city, prodding random strangers for help finding a car and asking a Hasidic Jew whether he was a "Pilgrim."
We contacted "Rent" for comment, but we haven't heard back yet. The Broadway production ends its 12-year run on June 1.

I relocated to California for several weeks last year to avoid the dog days of summer in the nation's capital. During my sojourn, state officials announced that they were closing Los Angeles' infamous 405 Freeway — America's busiest highway — for a July weekend. The authorities warned inhabitants of the car-crazed city to stay off the road to avoid the impending "Carmaggedon."
It worked. Instead of a traffic apocalypse, the streets of L.A. were stunningly quiet. Sixty-five percent fewer cars took to the road.
How were Angelinos convinced to leave their wheels parked in the driveway? The answer, according to Suzanne Shu of UCLA's Anderson School of Management, comes from the pages of the marketing playbook: fear.
Fear can be turned into action when a problem is "not too scary and it's very clear what you have to do to avoid…bad outcomes," Shu said. A visceral understanding of the impending disaster, such as unbearable hours of parking-lot-simulating traffic, helped move people to change their behavior.
L.A. drivers were offered a specific problem and clear solution. If they'd hang out at home for two days, they'd miss the mother of all traffic jams.
The lesson is that it's not impossible to get Americans to change the way they operate on a daily basis, an essential aspect of any plan to slow the pace of global warming. I'm especially concerned about this since returning home from the international climate summit in South Africa, where virtually every country in the world agreed to postpone action on this crucial issue for eight more years.
While governments procrastinate, the planet slips deeper into ecological crisis. In the United States alone, families spent $53 billion last year coping with weather-related disasters. Yet conventional wisdom holds that comprehensive climate legislation is off the table.
Climate change is a huge, amorphous, diffuse, and long-term problem that's unlike anything we've seen before. Activists like me need to talk about it in a way that neither trivializes the seriousness of the problem nor freezes people in their tracks.
One good option is to pick up where Shu leaves off. We need to help people understand what climate change feels like in a personal way. What hit home for me were the pictures of families searching through the rubble of last year's record tornados for vestiges of the "normal" life that had been destroyed. The floods, storms, heat waves, and wild fires that experts say will increase with more warming will likely be the first way that Americans internalize climate change.
We know what we have to do to curb global warming: Stop releasing the greenhouse gas pollution that causes it. We even have good examples of how to do this.
From the Navajo Nation to Appalachia, communities are shutting down dirty coal-fired power plants and demanding renewable energy in their place. There's a campaign for a federal tax on carbon that would discourage pollution and raise money for the public goods we need. And in California, as well as in Germany and other countries, policies like low-carbon fuel standards and price supports like feed-in tariffs are bolstering clean energy.
But the long list of things we can do doesn't get to the heart of the problem. Our economy is built on the premise that we can consume infinitely, even though the laws of science tell us that oil, fresh water, and many of the other resources we consume are non-renewable — at least not in our lifetimes. It's time to mobilize a bold movement to force all levels of government to make a systemic shift to ecologically sane policies.
The thousands of people now occupying city parks and the hundreds of thousands of others who are helping them make it through the winter might form the backbone of the peaceful uprising needed to motivate millions of Americans to take action. That makes me hopeful.
Still, I'd be lying if I said I weren't scared stiff by the specter of climate chaos.
