Chamber Directors to Consider
Entertainment for CommerciaJ
Men Home for Holidays.
At the board of directors' meeting
to-morrow afternoon, the Chamber of
Commerce will discuss the feasibility
of tendering a dinner; to the army of
I traveling; salesmen who will be In the
city for the holidays This function
was fullilligl last year by tin- big; civic
celebration which took place Ott Jan*
uary ;.
"The chief difficulty. said Business
Manager 1'ghgjry yesterday, discussing
the proposed dinner, 'is to secure any
j thing like approximate figures as to
the number of men who will b<- in
town. The board will probably for?
mulate plans to-morrow, in cas- the
dinner idea is adopted, for enlisting
the aid of Post A. Travelers' Protec
1 tivc Association, and the other com?
mercial orgaiiiz il.otis of the city, as
well as of the manufacturers and job?
bers. In determining the number of
commercial nag who will spend the
holiday period at home."
The chamber rlghtl) regards Rich?
mond's traveling population as its best
adv-rtisers abroad, and behind the plan
of a dinner far their entertalntnent Is
th< idea of brliiKing them together for
the purpose of renewing their ac?
quaintance with the chamber s plan of
trade expansion, such a gathering* .:
is believed, would send them back on
the road after the holidays art over
better equipped than ever to 01 ? -.i |
?!ie Itichmond --oH-pel
The board will la all probability also
take up In some detail the annexation
piogram outlined at the last < hamb.-r
dinner at the Jefferson Hotel. It Is
not believed that a AOOnlte plan wlllj
be formulated at thi' n.ting, but the I
directors will examine the matter from'
several angles and probabl} decide]
upon the preliminaries :o the generali
annexation campaign, which. ,n com-;
moil with several other important pro?
jects, will engage the chamber's at?
tention hi the coming year

About the 1958 Corvette
The 1958 Corvette is not only physically larger than its predecessor, but has a larger than life attitude at well. The main differences are noticeable on the front end, with an eye-catching 4 headlights and an accentuating silver trim starting in between the headlights and traversing down each side of the hood.
Don't Worry There's More

I recently sat down with Lindsay Patterson at EarthSky to discuss the state of science literacy in the United States.
Here's an excerpt from the transcript:
Sheril Kirshenbaum: I think right now we are touching on an area where there is enormous opportunity. We have a very well-educated group of young people earning degrees looking to use what they know to contribute to society.
Kirshenbaum said part of contributing to the public's understanding of science is making scientific research more accessible, through new media like Twitter or YouTube, or speaking publicly about their work and discoveries. Kirshenbaum said that today, fewer scientists are ending up in tenure-track, or permanent positions in a university. That's why scientists who are experts in their field, and can also write or speak to the public, are at an advantage.
Sheril Kirshenbaum: Why not work with people who are thinking about science careers, but teach them science and something else? Enable young scientists to work with journalists and writers and gain skills to communicate that way. Get them more comfortable talking to media. Create the jobs for renaissance scientists, this new generation that's going to have to step up and be prepared to tackle things we haven't found solutions for already.
More at EarthSky…
We were initially surprised that our co-authored book, Unscientific America, was so strongly attacked for observing that scientists should strive to improve their skills at public communication–and that this probably includes not alienating potential religious allies or mainstream America. But in a sense, the attacks made a kind of sense. Mostly, they came from those for whom this advice ran contrary to their particular project of denouncing much of America and the world for alleged ignorance and superstition–the New Atheists.
However, with a recent review in The New Atlantis, it appears that we also touched a nerve on the political right. As this is a more interesting phenomenon, I want to explore it in this post. Read More
It's received both tremendous praise and endless scorn. The president's science adviser and the National Science Teachers Association extol it. The New Atheists loathe it and have repeatedly attacked it.
And today, after a whirlwind first year in print, Unscientific America: How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens Our Future officially debuts in paperback! Already over at Amazon.com, there are only two paperbacks now left in stock…but we're assured more are on the way.
The paperback edition contains a new preface, addressing some of the questions and criticisms that earlier editions received. Without giving too much away:
* We consider the latest data on science and the U.S. public.
* We consider the impact of "ClimateGate" on the book's broader argument about science communication.
* We stand by and defend our "Chapter 8," about the New Atheism. Read More
The book that caused all the ruckus–relentlessly bashed by New Atheists, praised by the president's science adviser and the National Science Teachers Association–is set for its second run, this time with a new introduction that responds to critics and extends the argument.
In paperback, Unscientific America officially comes out June 8, and can be preordered online now.
So if you missed the hardback, here's your second chance.
We'll have more soon about the book, but we wanted to let you know now…to get ready.
Our book reviews aren't over yet–perhaps they will keep coming out all the way to the paperback release date in May. The latest is from David J. Tenenbaum of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, founding feature writer for the WhyFiles, who is reviewing in the journal Science Communication. Tenenbaum begins with a revealing vignette:
I e-mailed an eminent limnologist today, seeking to discuss an environmental issue that he's considered important enough to study for several years. To my delight, he immediately responded with word that a new study was forthcoming in an important journal. Then, to my dismay, he added that the journal's embargo would expire a couple of weeks after my publication date.
No problem, I replied. He'd watched the issue develop for years and would surely have a useful comment. Then I got the silent treatment.
Huh? When you contact scientists for a living (I admit, science journalism can seem a branch of telemarketing), you get used to nonresponses, to experts who think a "tight deadline" means 3 months, or are in Mongolia or at an invitation-only conference in Estonia. This latest wrinkle on the rejection letter told me that this expert would be happy to get help publicizing his newest research triumph but was unwilling to help me explain the environmental ramifications of oil sands mining in Alberta, which just happens to be the largest energy project in the Western Hemisphere.
For indeed, and as we argue in the book, some scientists–not all–aren't particularly helpful when it comes to interacting with the media. Yet they simply must do more, writes Tenenbaum–and indeed, it is in their own interest to do so. Read More
At the AAAS meeting in San Diego last month, I spoke with EarthSky's Lindsay Patterson, and the resultant podcast just went up. You can listen here, or by playing the embedded audio below, and I've also pasted some transcribed sections below:
And now, the write-up: Read More
We were very pleased to come across the following news yesterday about a contest that was held for students of the CUNY system:
Altogether, 12 CUNY undergraduates–out of 101 applicants–received awards for their essays based on 2009 Nobel prize-winning work in chemistry, physiology and medicine, physics, and economics. First, second and third prizes in each category included an Apple iMac Computer, a Dell Mini 10 Netbook, and an Amazon Kindle.
The impetus for the competition, said Vice Chancellor Gillian Small in her opening remarks, came about when the 2009 Nobel winners were announced, and she was reading a recent book of essays titled Unscientific America, How Scientific Illiteracy Threatens our Future.
"There is a distressingly large number of Americans who refuse to accept even the theory of evolution," said Small, who envisioned the competition's essays making Nobel work in science accessible to a larger audience.
What a wonderful idea. This is just more evidence–and it is everywhere–that despite some hold-outs, an emphasis on fixing science communication is the new trend within science itself…and these are just the kinds of initiatives that will spur along that change.
My laziness notwithstanding, I will not be outdone by this timely post of Carl's. Participants in this virtual book party, sponsored by the American Institute of Biological Sciences, may stand the chance to win a copy of Carl's The Tangled Bank–but I have just confirmed that 3-5 publisher's copies of Unscientific America will also be on offer.
Let's quote Carl on all the event details, so I don't have to try to write them up better than he does:
What's a virtual book party you ask? In this case, fellow Discover blogger Chris Mooney and I will each give a 15 minute talk about our new books. From the slipper-and-pajama'd comfort of your home or office (if you wear slippers and pajamas at the office), you can listen to us speak and behold our slide presentations in real time. After we're through, there will be time for a virtual conversation between you and us. The event (which will last about an hour) is hosted by the American Institute of Biological Sciences.
Carl speaks first, then me. And my slide show won't have the usual bells and whistles. But, sign up now, I hear they are going fast….
Full video of yesterday's talk is up, as is the dialogue with former Clinton science adviser and Baker Institute fellow Neal Lane that followed it. You can watch here.
In the new version of the Unscientific America talk, I also tried to make more explicit the reasons why we think "scientific literacy," broadly defined, is essential to American democracy, and something every citizen should strive for. What's so great about it? Well, here are my answers:
1. Knowledge is a good in and of itself. The more anyone has of it, the better.
2. Empowerment: The more Americans know about science, and the methods of critical thinking about evidence that it imparts, the better off they'll be when it comes to making choices in their own lives, e.g., in the medical arena.
3. Citizenship: The more scientifically literate our citizens are, the more they'll be able to access and engage with the scientific aspects of key public policy issues like climate change.
4. Policy: There is a reality out there, and we need our decisions to be aligned with it. Ultimately, 3 should lead to 4, as more citizen engagement with science reverberates in the decision-making process. And that's what matters most of all.
Any questions or objections? Or does that about encompass it?
I think that traditionally, most of the emphasis in "scientific literacy" discussions has been on 1 & 2. What I like think is different about the approach that we take in Unscientific America is that it much more strongly stresses 3 & 4.

Hey M Girls!
Last night, Justin Bieber attempted to do a live chat session with fans on both TwitCam and UStream during the 2013 Grammy Awards, but unfortch both the sites crashed from too many viewers. "Really now ustream is over capacity my fans are amazing but this is frustrating," the Biebs tweeted.
However, JB had a backup plan, and as an apology to his Beliebers for not being able to chat with them live, Justin recorded a short vid and played an unreleased new song! "It's not finished, but here's a little part a song I'm working on," he wrote on his Twitter account.
Justin's adorable younger sibs Jazmyn and Jaxon also made a quick cameo. Check out both clips below!
Let's dish: -Do you like Justin's new song "You Want Me"? Did you try to watch Justin's live chat yesterday?

- Artist: Pete Teo
- Format: CD
- Release Date: 8/22/2006
|your cart is empty
'Elastic Truths For These Plastic Days...' So says Pete Teo in 'Television'. 12 months in the making, this 11-track album is a significant departure from his debut 'Rustic Living for Urbanites'. Gone is the soul-searching introspection that so lushly and effectively defined the earlier work, and in it's place, a bitter-sweet critique of George Bush's America. From the opening stanza of 'Lost In America', it is obvious that this is exceptional work. In lesser hands, a song that is premised upon the idea that America is 'lost' would likely resort to recrimination before long. Yet Teo eschews such easy conclusions. Rather, he invokes sadness for the loss of the American ideal while simultaneously decrying the excesses of her imperial intentions. This is rare sophistication. Not least because it gives the song a righteous power that mindless ranting could never attain. Not that such deftness of touch would surprise fans of this intriguing singer songwriter. Known as much in his home country for his cerebral dynamism as his artistry, Teo's work has always been characterized more by cerebral depth than sloganeering machismo. It is such that 'Hide Your Gun', an anti-war lament, devastatingly juxtaposes domestic peace with the utter despair of war. It is also such that 'Carnival Hall', an ironic parody of our media obsessed existence, is driven along by a dancing bass line that is as infectious as it is technically impressive. Indeed, it is here where 'Television' stands furthest from the folk-infused sensibilities of it's predecessor. From the imperious piano solo in 'Sunday Best Shoes', to the compound time dexterity of 'Blow', and finally the aching beauty of 'Who For You?', this album is punctuated by many moments of sheer musical virtuosity. While this is not surprising given the stellar cast of musicians assembled here, that such technical brilliance is never allowed to overshadow the emotional resonance of the songs is perhaps the most laudable feat of an admirable artist in great form.

Detroit's the Motor City. California's car culture is unsurpassed. But when the electric car industry staged an "innovation motorcade" of electric cars and trucks today, it did so in Washington, D.C.–fittingly, because, without the government, there would simply be no electric car industry.
Indeed, the market for electric cars is so distorted by government subsidies that it's all be impossible to determine the true cost of an electric car.
An electric car motorcade
Notice that I said cost and not price; there's a difference, and it's relevant to any conversation about business and the environment. Coal-powered electricity is cheap but the price doesn't reflect the costs of burning coal, including lung disease, mining accidents and greenhouse gas emissions. (See Fossil Fuels: A Legacy of Disaster from the Center for American Progress.) Hamburgers are cheap but the true cost of beef includes methane emissions, farm subsidies and, arguably, heart disease. Gasoline-powered cars externalize costs that include smog, carbon emissions and, some would say, a foreign policy that favors stability, i.e., autocracy over democracy in the Middle East.
Markets, needless to say, work better when prices reflect true costs.
So what's the true cost of an electric car? Hard to say. Sticker prices are high–Chevrolet's Volt has an MSRP of $40,280, while the Nissan Leaf is priced at $32,780–but buyers get a $7,500 tax credit that reduces the cost. The government even gives tax credits to buyers of the $109,000 Tesla Roadster.
The tax credits are merely the most visible form of federal support. Energy Secretary Steven Chu, who spoke at today's event, said the government has invested $5 billion so far to electrify the nation's transportation system. It provided loans of $2.6 billion to Nissan, Tesla and Fisker to established electric car factories, $2.4 billion in grants to establish 30 electric vehicle battery and component and another $80 million for advanced research and development. (Here's a DOE report, PDF, download, with details.)
Virtually every car and component maker on display today in D.C. reflected your tax dollars at work. Ecotality, for example, which makes the Blink charging stations, is leading a $230 million initiative, half of which is funded by DOE, that plans to install more than 15,000 EV charging stations in the coming months.
What benefits are generated by all the subsidies? That was the focus of remarks by Secretary Chu and Ed Markey, the Democratic congressman from Massachusetts.
Jobs and economic growth, Chu said. "We're in a global race to develop these technologies," he said. "The prize is a multi, multi-billion dollar market." The government stimulated and subsidized the development of semi-conductors, computers, the Internet, biotech and even the airplane, all of which delivered jobs and other untold benefits to Americans.
No more support for oil sheiks, according to Markey. "Americans are ready for an oil change," he said. "It is time to break the monopoly that oil has on our transportation sector."
Ted Craver, the chairman and CEO of Edison International, a utility company that stands to gain from the electrification of transportation, also cited energy security as a benefit of electric cars. "Nearly all of the electricity generated in America uses domestic fuel sources," he said.
Perhaps because Republicans now control the House, and many are climate-change skeptics, little mention was made of the environmental benefits of electric cars. But even with today's fuel mix for electricity, which is about 50% coal-generated, electric cars generate fewer emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles.
Do the gains outweigh the costs? Maybe, so long as we don't subsidize electric-car owners in perpetuity. (The $7,500 tax credit extends only to the first 200,000 electric-car buyers.)
I asked Secretary Chu and Ed Markey when they thought electric cars would be able to compete without subsidies.
Chu said two things have to happen–the range of batteries has to get longer, to perhaps 300 miles, and battery costs have to come down. Some experts say battery costs could be cut in half in the next few years.
"Hopefully, by the end of this decade, we're going to be at parity," Chu said.
Very roughly, because the numbers are trade secrets, electric-car batteries cost up to $1,000 per kilowatt. The Leaf has a 24 kwh battery, the Volt a 16kwh hattery, so their upfront costs are thousands of dollars higher than comparable gas-powered cars. But because running a car on electricity costs much less than powering it with gasoline, operating costs are substantially lower.
"You can't pick the exact year" when subsidies will not longer be necessary," Markey said, "but Saudi Arabia helped us this past weekend by saying they're going to keep the price of oil high." Gasoline at $4 or $5 a gallon makes electric cars more appealing.
Today's motorcade was impressive because it featured not just the well-publicized Chevy Volt and Nissan Leaf but cars from Toyota, Mitsubishi, Tesla, Think and Coda Automotive, along with trucks from Eaton, Odyne, Smith Electric and Via Motors. The event was organized by the Electric Drive Transportation Association (EDTA), which is holding its 2011 conference this week in Washington.

Moon and Jupiter [1]
The largest moon in the solar system has a two-toned appearance, as though someone started painting its surface but left some big splotches of the original color. And in a way, that's just what happened. The motions of its icy crust have repaved most of the surface, but left large patches of the original crust in view.
Ganymede orbits Jupiter, which is in good view tonight, to the lower left of our own Moon at nightfall. It looks like a brilliant star.
Ganymede is about half again as big as the Moon — bigger even than the planet Mercury. And it's put together a lot like a planet, with a series of layers: an iron core, surrounded by lightweight rock, and topped by ice. The ice may contain a large ocean of liquid water.
Ganymede's crust shows two tones of brown.
The darker tone most likely consists of regions of Ganymede's original crust, which are pockmarked by lots of impact craters.
The lighter tone shows a slightly younger crust, which formed as Ganymede's interior was heated by Jupiter's gravity. These regions are marked by deep canyons and tall cliffs that can run for hundreds of miles. They may have been created by the motions of large blocks of ice at the top of the crust — motions that gave Ganymede a bit of an unfinished appearance.
Again, look for Jupiter near the Moon tonight. Through binoculars, Ganymede and three other moons look like tiny stars arrayed near the bright planet.
More about Jupiter and our Moon tomorrow.

I had an awesome opportunity this spring break to head to Steamboat Springs, Colorado with a friend and going skiing! I had a wonderful time on the trip skiing, meeting new people, cooking fun meals, exploring the local town, and remembering why I love Colorado so much.
We stayed at a resort right at the base of the mountain and were able to literally walk outside and get on a ski lift. It was awesome and super convenient.
The resort condo had plenty of room, a huge kitchen table, two fire places, a balcony, and extremely comfy beds. 🙂
We skied two full days. The mountain had so many different trails so I stuck to greens and blues. The views were breathtaking.
I didn't take many food pictures at all but managed to grab a picture of a cheesecake ball (WHAT? Cheesecake ball? I know. We had about five.) The last day, we went into town to grab breakfast and went to the cutest local cafe. Now that is what I call a veggie omelet (avocado on top) and a fresh fruit cup.
One night we ate at a Mexican restaurant in town and the other nights we cooked dinner at the condo and had a great time socializing over spaghetti and chili.
Needless to say, it was an awesome trip and I still managed to have about three days home with my family with was great. Definitely a spring break for the books. 😉
I currently just finished unpacking everything from spring break back into my dorm room and am getting ready for the week ahead.
Next week is the spring musical so this week is going to be insane. And so much fun. We have practice everyday this week and then all day Saturday and half of Sunday. Here goes!
What did you do for spring break? Any fun plans for Easter weekend?

Work in progress
* S.O.S. planning to turn old junior high into community center
One local non-profit organization is looking to expand and do more good things for the community.
In June, Serving On The Streets (S.O.S.) purchased the former Brazil Junior High School for $15,000, with the hopes of turning it into its new central location, along with creating a community center.
"The school was bought out of a need to expand because we are at capacity right now," S.O.S. Director Jenni Chamberlain told The Brazil Times about the present location at 100 N. Forest Ave., Brazil. "We plan to turn the whole school into a community center, and our hope is to offer more of what we do, but on a larger scale."
Chamberlain said work has already begun on the school, with repairs being made to drains on the roof, as well as leaks in the gymnasium offices.
"The Brazil Water Department has been very helpful to this point by shutting off water in areas of the school so the leaks can be repaired," she said. "The United Way Day of Action has also participated, along with our youth group, in cleaning up the weeds and trash around the school, along with painting and cleaning up the playground equipment."
Chamberlain, who is a lifelong Brazil resident, told The Brazil Times the renovation of the school is being planned in phases, with the current cleanup and repairs being Phase 1. Also included in the current phase are plans to repair and tar the roof, along with more generic cleaning needs inside the gymnasium.
"We hope to have the roof and leaks repaired before winter so no further damage will be done," she said. "We also plan to sanitize the floors in the gym and purchase radiant hanging heaters to clean up current water damage."
At the July meeting of the Common Council of the City of Brazil, Chamberlain and Kenna Consulting and Management Group, Inc., Indianapolis, Grant Administrator Donna Anderson presented a proposal for a $500,000 Community Focus Fund Grant, in which the city would have to be the formal applicant.
"With our organization having a 501(c)(3) classification, a governmental entity would have to be the applicant since federal dollars are involved," she said about the grant, which is through the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs (OCRA) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. "In this situation, if the city agrees to apply on our behalf, we would be the subrecipient. Also, S.O.S. will be responsible for making sure insurance is in place, while the city will have to handle the grant money until the grant runs out."
Chamberlain added that while this grant is very competitive, S.O.S. plans to move forward with the renovation of the old junior high, regardless if they are awarded the funding.
"If we don't get the grant, we will continue to work on the school, it will just take longer to do so," she said. "However, with this program we can re-apply for the grant in the spring, but we are hoping to receive it this time around."
Another requirement to obtain the grant is that a $56,000 match must be provided, which Chamberlain said some in-kind donations have already been received.
"We are allowed to receive $25,000 in in-kind donations, which includes labor and materials, but the rest has to be in cash," she said. "We were able to raise the money to purchase the school in two weeks, and we have sent out another letter asking for support in raising the match. If we can't get it all through donations and fundraising, we do plan to apply for a loan for the remainder."
Although not required, Mayor Ann Bradshaw said the city is considering providing some funding toward the match.
"This is a great project being done by a wonderful organization, and I would love to see the city help out in any way it can," Bradshaw told The Brazil Times. "However, we need to take a look at the finances to see what is available, and ultimately it is the council's decision on whether or not to provide funding along with being the primary applicant."
Since the meeting, a rumor began to spread claiming the old junior high would be turned into a homeless shelter, which Chamberlain said is not the case.
"There are no plans to use the building as a homeless shelter," Chamberlain told The Brazil Times. "We are hoping to come together as a community to do something great for the kids. The building will also house the local Salvation Army"
Included in the plans for the center is the creation of classroom, computer labs and to allow for an open gym on the weekends.
"We would like to have something going on every evening that will be at no cost to the public," she said. "It will be a supervised environment that will allow for after-school programs and other activities to benefit the children in our community."
The council will conduct a public hearing on the matter during its Aug. 11 meeting, which begins at 7 p.m., in the Council Chambers of City Hall. If the council agrees to be the primary applicant for the grant, it must be submitted no later than Oct. 22. Chamberlain added awarding of the grants should be announced in early December.
S.O.S. also plans to have an open house of the old junior high in September for members of the community to see what the plans for the structure are.
"We have not yet set a date for the open house, but we want to invite the public to come see the progress we have made to that point, along with providing the information about the phases in the project," she said. "We hope for this to be a blessing for the neighborhood, not a distraction."
For more information about the project, or to make a donation, contact Chamberlain at 812-208-4976 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Serving On The Streets will conduct its seventh-annual back-to-school outreach program from 10 a.m.-1 p.m., Saturday, Aug. 7, in the gymnasium of the old Brazil Junior High School building.
Backpacks with basic school supplies, along with gently used clothing will be available for all grade levels, and will be provided to Clay County students.
All supplies have been provided through donations, and games and snacks will also be available during the event.

Kentucky Derby 2013: Breaking Down Long Shots with Best Chance to WinApril 30, 2013
Looking for, ahem, dark horses at the Kentucky Derby? Well then, you've come to the right place.
Sure, everyone knows all about Verrazano, or that Orb is growing in popularity amongst the favorites. But what horses could come out of left field and dominate the field in the Run for the Roses?
I'm glad you asked. Below, I've provided some information on three long-shot horses I like this year. All three could be huge winners for bettors and shock the rest of the field.
Will Take Charge
Trainer: D. Wayne Lukas
Jockey: Jon Court
Owner: Willis D. Horton
Latest Odds (via KentuckyDerby.com): 20-1
Preview: Will Take Charge has a Hall of Fame trainer in D. Wayne Lukas and three wins in seven races. Have I gotten your attention yet?
This horse holds true to his name, as he has early speed and isn't afraid to run ahead of the pack. However, he's not a pure sprinter, and Jon Court should be able to settle him behind the early leaders depending on where he enters the gates.
With two wins this year and plenty of time to rest before the Derby (he hasn't run since the Rebel Stakes), Will Take Charge is a bargain at 20-1 odds.
Java's War
Trainer: Ken McPeek
Jockey: Julien Leparoux
Owner: Charles Fipke
Latest Odds (via KentuckyDerby.com): 31-1
Preview: Java's War won at the Blue Grass Stakes and came second to one of the Derby favorites, Verrazano, at the Tampa Bay Derby, meaning he is one of the hottest horses heading into this race.
Java's War is a deep closer and has crazy speed down the stretch, which should play well at Churchill Downs. There are questions about Java's War, of course—does he even like running on dirt? Will he get lost in the pack early on and fail to recover? Still, he's an intriguing play at 31-1 odds.
You won't see Java's War favored to win by most folks out there, but he definitely has the ability to chase down the field and win this race late.
Palace Malice
Trainer: Todd Pletcher
Jockey: Mike Smith
Owner: Dogwood Stable (Cot Campbell)
Latest Odds (via KentuckyDerby.com): 42-1
Preview: Palace Malice finished second to Java's War at the Blue Grass Stakes and has finished out of the top three just once in his career with a win, three second-place finishes and a third-place finish in six starts.
Like Java's War, he can stalk the competition late. Unlike Java's War, he's also versatile to hold off a late run by competing horses and hold on to a win.
He also has a jockey in Mike Smith who has won over 5,000 races and rode Bodemeister last year to second-place finishes at the Derby and The Preakness. Palace Malice is a horse to watch.

1. Divide and Conquer
"I've worked hands-on with so many clients and they all tell me the same thing -- they tend to pull everything out of their closets and then they run out of time and they push it all back in, which makes it worse than it was to begin with. So my suggestion to them is to divide and conquer. On a Saturday morning do your shoes, at other times do your slacks. People have told me that breaking it up into small projects has changed their life.'
-- Mary Pankiewicz, professional organizer and author of Clutter-Free & Organized
2. Tidy Up Your Top Shelf
'Those who stack sweaters and T-shirts on shelves in their closets know it can become a jumbled mess, since stacks often fall over. For those clients I recommend the Slide N Stax Clothing Organizer. It is amazing because it is a plastic clear piece with sides and a bottom that fits on the top shelf and you can just bring that one piece down when you need something, instead of tipping over your stacked items.'
-- Beth Levin, professional organizer, Closet Queen
3. Group, Group, Group
"I would always recommend grouping 'like with like.' It enables people to find items quickly. All tank tops together, all capri pants together in one area. Some people like to group items by sleeve length -- and there are a few in the spring and summer seasons. I've even seen people use color-coded hangers but I don't recommend it -- too time consuming!'
-- Stacey Agin Murray, professional organizer, Organized Artistry
4. Bag-and-Tie Overload?
"Purses on shelves tend to get messy. For those who have wall space in their closets, a great solution would be to purchase belt racks (available at the Container Store) and hang them vertically instead of horizontally. That way, the bottoms of the purses don't bunch up in the same place. This also works great for ties!'
-- Beth Levin

5. Short on Space?
"Look around your home for things that are going unused, that might be empty -- like file drawers -- and store things away in there. I have had a lot of clients that collect old suitcases and use them for storage -- those don't take up much room.'
-- Ann Bingley Gallops, professional organizer, The Organized Life
6. Hanger Trick
"Some of my clients love this tip: When you get out your spring clothes, put the hangers in backward on the rod but then when you wear a piece of clothing, hang it up facing the front. At the end of the season you'll know what you've never worn.'
-- Mary Pankiewicz, professional organizer and author of Clutter-Free & Organized
7. Flag It!
"Place Post-it colored flags facing out on each piece of clothing in your closet. Take the Post-it off when you wear an item. At the end of spring/summer, you'll be able to see what you wore and didn't. You can then determine whether those items can be donated -- you'll get tax benefits -- or consigned for money.' -- Beth Levin, professional organizer, Closet Queen
8. Personalize in a Snap
"Use clear shoe boxes for hair accessories and lightweight scarves you'll use throughout the spring and summer. You can even use a clear bin for small tank tops, shorts, etc. Take a Polaroid or cut out a magazine photo and tape it so you know what's in the box. Those are fun and it will make getting to things so easy.'
-- Beth Levin

9. Miracle Space Savers
"I grew up in an apartment and we had to get creative with our winter clothing storage. One solution is to purchase Space Bags (available at the Container Store and Bed, Bath and Beyond) and then suck the air out of them. The clothes then take up much less space and can be placed under a bed, a couch, or on a high shelf. Also, some local dry cleaners will store winter clothes for people (as long as they're dry cleaning them for you, too).'
-- Stacey Agin Murray, professional organizer, Organized Artistry
10. Dump Your Wire Hangers
"When it comes to hangers, Joan Crawford and I are on the same page -- no wire hangers, ever! They ruin clothes and are only meant to be temporary. I am a personal fan of 'crystal hangers.' They are great for hanging tops without causing those 'shoulder bumpies' that can ruin a perfectly good shirt. Many of my clients ask me about 'huggable hangers' sold on QVC or HSN. I think they're good if you wear silk-ish kind of blouses or a lot of tank tops. They're touted as a space saver because they're so thin.'
-- Stacey Agin Murray
11. Host a Clothing Swap
'Get together a group of friends to bring clothes they are not using and certainly don't want to discard -- someone's going to want it! Have a little cocktail party and everyone gets new clothes without spending money ... so it's a win-win situation.'
-- Ann Bingley Gallops, professional organizer, The Organized Life
12. Turn Store Credit Into Cash on eBay
'Many stores won't let you return for cash clothing you loved in the shop but never got around to wearing. However, they are likely to offer you store credit if you insist. So instead of letting unwanted clothes pile up in your closets, a better idea is to return them for store credit and then sell the store credit for cash on eBay. There's a very vibrant market on eBay for store credit receipts and gift cards, which trade for very close to face value. I've seen $200 gift receipts from stores like Macys, Tiffany and Bloomingdale's fetch $180, so you get most of your value back without having to find a buyer for your specific item or dealing with packing and shipping it.'
-- Dan Nissanoff, author of FutureShop (Penguin, 2006)

13. Damp-Proof Storage
"If you are lucky enough to have a basement for storage, help keep your winter clothes dry by putting pieces of chalk into a small cloth bag that you can pack with the clothes you're storing. The chalk will absorb all the moisture, keeping your clothes protected.'
-- Ann Bingley Gallops
14. Buff Up Your Closet
"Before you put your favorite spring things back into the closet, take the opportunity of having empty shelves to replace your shelf paper, vacuum the closet floor, and make the closet fresh and clean.'
-- Ann Bingley Gallops

shRNA rescue with site directed mutagenesis - oligo design - (Aug/31/2011 )
Hello everyone,
I would like to do a rescue from my shRNA knock down and analyze the RNA on gene expression microarray.
Of all shRNA sequences tested, only one of all, which is in the coding region, resulted in a proper knock down.
To exclude false positives, I now would like to re-induce the expression with a mutated cDNA. I already have the unmutated cDNA in my backbone and would use the Invitrogen site directed mutagenesis kit to insert point mutations.
Does anyone know, how many mutations I need to insert when designing my primers and what else I would have to consider? There was also some discussion in our lab, whether this rescue is still "up to date" or rather other approaches should be addressed (another shRNA targeting elsewhere in the gene - but I've already tried 5 different shRNA sequences, 3 different siRNAs resulted even in a "knock up").
Any help would be appreciated!!
Thanks a lot!
Is the purpose of mutating the cDNA to differentiate it from endogenous mRNA? If so, one mutation is enough and the mutation should be synonymous. Such rescue experiment is scientifically meaningful. Ideally you want to get at least another shRNA to work--knock down the target gene and causes similar phenotypic changes.
Hey prcman,
Thank you very much, yes I want to differentiate it from the endogenous RNA which is targeted by the shRNA. What do you mean exactly by synonymous ? Does the mutation have to be in any specific region of the shRNA?
Another question just came to my mind (I am quite new to all this). If the other shRNAs I tried only resulted in a weak (max. 50%) knock down on RNA level - could it help to just increase the MOI of my lentivirus delivering the shRNA?
Thank you very much again!!
Since you want to rescue RNAi knockdown by overexpressing the same gene. The overexpressed gene should be functional, which means a mutation you are going to introduce does not alter the protein sequence, or synonymous mutation.
I think you can increase MOI to achieve a similar knockdown efficiency as the other shRNA.
Thanks a lot for your help!! I will try both (rescue and increase MOI) and see what works best.

England manager Roy Hodgson is confident about his side's firepower despite failing to score against 10 men Honduras ahead of the World Cup.
England failed to win their last two matches as a 2-2 draw against Ecuador was followed by a goalless draw against Honduras. The Three Lions missed a host of good chances, but failed to convert any of them against an opponent who were reduced to 10 men. Roy Hodgson's men will open their World Cup campaign against 2006 Champions Italy, and their performance against Honduras has given rise to scepticism about how the strike force will fare against a much stronger defence.
But the England manager is confident about his team's firepower and was quick to remind how his side scored five goals against Peru and Ecuador. The former Liverpool manager also pointed out the presence of Daniel Sturridge, Wayne Rooney and Rickie Lambert in their ranks and expressed his confidence about his team's chances in the tournament.
"We didn't score against Honduras but we scored five goals in the games against Peru and Ecuador, so I think it would be very harsh to start casting aspersions.
"Daniel Sturridge is an absolute out-and-out goalscorer and we think Rickie Lambert is too.
"Of course we have got the Rooneys, Welbecks and Gerrards and Lampards, so I don't think we're short of firepower." – The England manager said.
There has been a lot of speculations about the final team composition that Hodgson will prefer during the World Cup. Sturridge will lead the line, while Danny Welbeck and Rooney are expected to feature in attack as well. But there are still doubts about where Rooney will feature in the attack – behind Sturridge or on the right. Ross Barkley and Raheem Sterling are other contenders for the role of the play-maker, especially with Rooney prospering in a wide role against Ecuador.
Roy Hodgson has hinted that Sterling, who was suspended against Honduras, could be used in a central role in the World Cup and has expressed his faith in the ability of the Liverpool youngster.
"There is the boy we haven't seen yet, Raheem Sterling.
"There is a good chance he would have played in that position (behind Sturridge against Honduras) had he not been sent off against Ecuador.
"It is not purely Barkley or Rooney, we have got Danny Welbeck who can do it and we have got Sterling.
"Raheem Sterling has been excellent in training. It would have been nice to have given him a game beforehand, but now he'll have to compete for a place not having had these warm-up games." – Hodgson added.

Typing: which is the one true faith?
26 Dec
Dynamic typing can be attributed three main virtues over static typing:
- flexibility: A single function can vary the type of its returned value, and collections can hold heterogeneous values. Consequently, dynamic typing often lets us get away without having to think too far ahead.
- concision: Functions, variables, and collections needn't declare their types, and interfaces can be kept informal. (Inferred typing arguably closes this concision gap significantly.)
- simplicity: Heterogeneous collections mean we don't need to introduce generics.
Conversely, static typing can be attributed two main virtues over dynamic typing:
- efficiency: When the compiler knows the variable types for certain, it can make numerous optimizations that otherwise aren't possible.
- correctness: The compiler can perform type checks, effectively eliminating a whole class of bugs. (However, any remaining errant null references and incorrect 'down casts' arguably constitute type errors, so not all static languages eliminate type errors entirely.)
The interesting question to me is, 'when and why do programmers actually make type errors?' In my limited experience, I've worked on long term projects in dynamic languages and hardly ever made any type errors. In a 10k-line Javascript project, for example, I bet I probably made fewer type errors than I can count on one hand.1 This realization puzzled me for a while because it got me wondering why the hell so many people obsessed over type errors? After all, a type error is only one kind of bug among many and, in my experience, a not terribly common kind. All the programmer has to do is consult the documentation of the functions and objects they use to avoid making type errors. Right?
Well a little more experience explained this mystery: type errors become easy to make when dealing with 'alternate-form types'. Such types enter the picture in a few ways:
- numeric types: int, short, double, float, decimal, complex, etc. These are all numbers and so easy to confuse.
- strings of different encodings: Again, these are all representations of essentially the same thing and so easy to confuse.
- strings representing non-textual data: Do we need a number or a string of numeric digits? A boolean or a string reading 'true' or 'false'? A code object or a string of code? A Foo object or its string representation?
- numbers used for enumerations: Do we need a 0 or false? Does this function expect us to indicate the color blue with 'blue', 3, or COLOR.BLUE?
- wrappers and collections: Do we pass in a Foo object or a FooWrapper object? An int or an Integer? A Bar object or a collection of Bar objects? The row object returned by the ORM or the business object representing the same data?
Without alternate-form types, type errors would almost never occur, for why would anyone ever accidentally mistake an Elephant for a Motorcycle? Mistaking a Scooter for a Motorcycle, on the other hand, is not so hard to imagine.
The important takeaway of my experience is this: the fact that alternate-form types arise less commonly in higher-level domains (such as Javascript for a webpage) partly explains why dynamic typing is generally more favored in front-end coding than in back-end and 'engine' coding. What seemed like a non-issue to me in one domain became a constant concern when working in another.
Typing peace in our time?
Now, if front-end and back-end code always lived in neat separate boxes, having to choose between static and dynamic code wouldn't be a hard choice: we could use dynamic languages for front-ends and static code for back-ends. Most projects, though, straddle a line in both worlds, for a front-end, of course, must ultimately call into a back-end. Often this is done over the network such that the dynamic/static divide doesn't really matter, but in other cases, we want to invoke a back-end as a library or framework, requiring some bridge. For example, Python can use modules written in C, but only with some significant adaptation.
Could we solve this problem? Could a single language accommodate both static and dynamic code that interoperate without hassle? I believe such a language is possible, and all it would require is for the programmer to declare each function/method as either static or dynamic:
- In a dynamic function, type declarations would be optional, such that you might leave some or all types undeclared.
- In a static function, all types must be declared (except those which can be inferred).
- A dynamic function can invoke static functions with no hassle, though the runtime of course would have to perform a type check on the inputs. In some cases, type errors could be caught by the compiler in the context of a dynamic function, e.g. the return type of an invoked static function is known, so we might detect the improper use of the return value as argument to another invocation of a static function. On the whole, though, no guarantee is made about the type correctness of code in a dynamic function.
- A static function can invoke dynamic functions but must declare the expected return type (where it cannot be inferred by context) so that the type can be checked at runtime. Of course, while the runtime check preserves the type correctness of the rest of the code, invoking a dynamic function effectively introduces potential for a type error within the context of the static function, in a sense nullifying the type assurance we're aiming for with static typing (though of course null references and down-casts, if present in the language, already undermine the type safety of our static code.)
- Homogenous collections and generic types would retain their typing in dynamic code, e.g. an ArrayList<Foo> would throw an error if you attempt to append a non-Foo object.
The other necessary measure for mixing static and dynamic code is introducing a distinction between static and dynamic classes, for it wouldn't do for static code to access properties that might get deleted or change their type. Dynamic code would interoperate with static types freely, but static code would have to assert types to use dynamic types.
So the general pattern would be that using static functions and types in a dynamic context would be pain free, but using dynamic functions and types in a static context would require a bit of bother. This is likely not really a painful cost at all, as invoking static code from dynamic code is the much more useful case, for generally front-ends call into back-ends rather than the other way around. Programmers would start out writing a project in dynamic code but then gradually evolve their codebase, in whole or in part, into static code.
It can't be that easy
Surely if the solution were so simple, someone would have done this by now, right? Well, not necessarily. One explanation is that static vs. dynamic is one of those religious debates in programming, and language designers are certainly opinionated, for why else would they create a language? Static typing purists create static languages because they believe efficiency and type safety shouldn't be compromised, and dynamic typing purists create dynamic languages because they believe static type systems are overly troublesome and complicated. On the static side, especially, most energy seems to go into fixing type system problems by doing static typing 'the right way' (see Scala and Haskell).
But the main reason no one has integrated dynamic and static typing into one language is that, until fairly recently, no one could see the point. Until the rise of Javascript, Python, et. al., dynamic languages were used almost exclusively for small codebases of high-level code, meaning the alternate-format types problem never became pronounced. Now, however, we're pushing dynamic languages into domains of larger codebases and infrastructure code, which suggests the need for a dynamic/static hybrid.
I'm certainly not he only person to get this idea. A future version of ECMAScript, for example, may feature optional static typing (though this is very much up in the air). Also, the academic project StaDyn approaches this problem from the opposite direction as my solution, treating static code as the default with optional dynamicism. I haven't looked closely enough at this to form an opinion, but it looks interesting.
- This excludes errors from mistyped property names, which is an error I made multiple times each day. I don't consider these to be type errors, though, but rather 'name errors', and as I'll discuss an another post, static typing isn't needed to eliminate name errors. [↩]

Making your own air fresheners using essential oils is a money-saving way to add pleasant, fresh scents to your home while reducing your exposure to unwanted chemicals. Plus, you can completely tailor the scents to your preferences or your needs. If you haven't used essential oils before, don't be afraid to jump in.
Essential oils are a highly-concentrated and fragrant liquid extracted from plants and can provide a range of theraputic and health benefits. Look for essential oils at health and natural foods stores or online. Don't let the price tag scare you off — just a few drops of essential oil goes a very long way — and those tiny bottles will most likely end up lasting you years.
Here are some common essential oils and their benefits:
Oil diffusers are a great way to infuse your home with a continuous and subtle scent, while avoiding the potential danger of a flame from a candle. The cost of many these packaged diffusers is unfortunately not as pleasant, however, and they often contain unnatural ingredients that we don't necessarily want diffused around the house along with the scent.
To skip the unwanted ingredients and the expense, try making your own oil diffuser using an essential oil of your choosing. Or, experiment with combining oils for a highly-personalized scent — just be sure to test out the combination by adding a drop or two of each of the oils to a cotton ball to make sure the blend is appealing to you.
When your home needs a instant refresh, nothing is quicker and easier than a spritz of air freshener. Try making a couple of your own personalized sprays — I use a combination of lemon and basil oils for the spray used in the living areas of the home and lavender for the bedroom.

Coleman delight, Southgate despair
A late, late Coventry City equaliser at the Ricoh Arena capped a determined second-half comeback and left the respective managers in contrasting mood.
'I've been in the other dug out when that happens and it rips your heart out,' said Sky Blues supremo Chris Coleman.
'You can't describe it. When it comes so late it can feel like a win rather than a draw.'
To the visitors however their away point felt more like a defeat, with Leon Best's leveller coming in the 5th minute of injury time.
'The feeling in the dressing room is similar to last weekend (when Boro were beaten 5-0 at home),' said Gareth Southgate.
'In fact, it might be a little bit worse because we had three points in our grasp and we threw them away - that is difficult to take.'

|Oracle FAQ
|Your Portal to the Oracle Knowledge Grid
Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Moving Database from one DG to another
Actually the issue is that I want to use the current LUN on which Diskgroup is created for some other project where I need RAID 1+0 LUN. So I had to move the database to new disk group.
I got an email reply from Dennis but that is not meant for Disk Group
Alex Gorbachev <gorbyx_at_gmail.com> wrote: Well, if your requirement is to free up the disk from one diskgroup than instead of creating new diskgroup you might consider just adding disks to DtDg1 and removing disk that you need to use for something else. ASM will automatically do rebalancing for you and free the disk that you are dropping from the disk group.
There are few gotchas:
- you can't change diskgroup mirroring type - you should mix disks with different performance in one DG (well ok only during migration to new disk group). ASM doesn't automatically rebalances the load based on performance/response of disks.

Glencore's record IPO makes muted debut
Commodities trader Glencore
Initial grey market, or conditional trading showed more than 530 million shares changed hands during the day for as much as 4 percent above the offer price.
Despite this appetite for the stock, with many investors left out of the offering after Glencore was flooded with orders for its shares, by the market close the shares had pared those gains to end back unchanged at 530 pence.
Glencore, the world's largest diversified commodities trader, had said there was strong demand for its stock and had enough buyers to cover its offering of up to $11 billion within hours of starting the sale process earlier this month.
By the time order books closed a day earlier than originally planned on Tuesday, it had enough orders to cover its offer more than four times, according to one source close to the deal, meaning it received orders totaling more than $40 billion.
Some investors, however, have said strong demand in London's largest ever public offering was largely due to the relatively small amount of shares made available after the allocation of shares to cornerstone investors and the sheer size of the group, which has qualified the shares for inclusion from next week in London's FTSE 100 <.FTSE> index.
At the offer price of 530 pence, Glencore has a market value of 36.7 billion pounds ($59.3 billion). It will be the fifth-largest mining-related firm on the London exchange.
The share price range was too high, full stop, as far as we were concerned, said one UK equities manager, at a house running more than 200 billion pounds of assets.
Put another way, had this been a 500 million-pound company, it would have had no chance of achieving the rating it is floating on.
Glencore, which is also floating in Hong Kong, will be listing a 16.4 percent stake, assuming no overallotment and no conversion of its convertible bonds. Its current shareholders, including Chief Executive Ivan Glasenberg, will retain a stake of around 80 percent.
Many investors have also expressed concern over the outlook for commodities, particularly after this month's sell-off, and fretted over the discounts that should be applied to take account of Glencore's conglomerate structure and the fact it has operated largely away from the public eye for 37 years.
The pricing decision came after fund managers said any price above 535 pence could see the shares drop in the immediate aftermath of the listing.
The group's top executives and cornerstone investors are tied in through lock-ups of at least six months, but share performance will matter to Glencore, particularly if the company is to use the offering as planned to pursue acquisitions, not least a potential offer for peer Xstrata
That deal -- or at least a solution for Glencore's 34 percent stake in Xstrata -- is widely expected. A merger between Glencore and Xstrata would be the biggest ever mining takeover.
But Glencore will also pursue other deals. It has made no secret that acquisition firepower is one of the main motivations behind its decision to relinquish its fiercely guarded tradition of privacy and discretion, and has no plans to abandon the opportunistic dealmaking that has made the company's fortune.
Analysts on Thursday said the 530 pence per share level was realistic and should mean strong aftermarket support.
Obviously everything is priced to do well. I don't know whether five to ten percent upside is in the bag or not, but certainly they are trying to please investors with the price, analyst Tim Dudley at Collins Stewart said.
I get the impression that on a demand/supply basis there is a lot of interest in the stock and people have probably been scaled back. Whether people will rush to try and sort out that imbalance today or wait and buy over time it is hard to say.
One source close to the deal said demand from index tracker funds would not kick in until next week, providing a potential extra boost for the stock.
If you give away 2 or 3 percent with some passive demand support still to come through, I think that is pretty smartly priced, the source said.
Liberum, one of the banks advising Glencore, said in a morning note that the listing could mark the end of a mini sell-off in both the sector and broader commodities.
Glencore's market value will propel it straight into the FTSE-100 index after unconditional trading begins next Tuesday, making it only the third company ever to do so.
With a 10 percent overallotment option likely to take the total size of Glencore's offering to $11 billion, it is set to be London's largest-ever listing, overtaking Russia's Rosneft, which raised $10.6 billion in 2006.
It is already the biggest ever on the so-called premium listing segment of the London bourse.
The 23 banks working on Glencore's float will get a cut of the biggest fee pot in at least a decade, potentially totaling $275 million if the commodities trader raises the full $11 billion, and a full commission of $82.5 million is paid out.
Unconditional trading begins on Tuesday in London and Wednesday in Hong Kong, where Glencore is also listing.
The Hong Kong allocation of the offer is 2.7 percent, with shares priced at HK$66.53.
