First Year Reading Experience Essay Winner
An Interview with Amy Patterson:
I was really intrigued by the lack of respect all of the doctors had for prying into this woman's life and the life of her children and family. For the ambulance squad we have to do reports after every call we get, and even though I'm young, I have to fill those out. There is so much that you need to do make sure the patient is OK with and be sure not to divulge extra information. You need to keep them informed but you can't tell everyone else about the certain calls or their medical condition. Those doctors didn't have any HIPAA rules to comply with and also seemed to lack compassion as well. The idea in the book that doctors would withhold unhealthy diagnoses was just crazy to me. Anytime I have worked with people, they want to know what's going on and they ask questions. Especially in an emergency situation, they are freaking out and want details. It seems to me today like common sense to tell your patients what is going on. I loved the research part of the book, and I believe that without the cells, there might not be all these new immunology options or as much known about cancer, but I would hope that they could find out in a different way by specifically talking to patients or obtaining consent to take their DNA. As well, it boosted the research side, and that is a social benefit, but it was very unfair to the family.
The unfairness revolved around things like the Chinese post-doc who told the Lacks that they were immunizing their children but really just wanted to steal their DNA. She assumed that because their mother had the special DNA, the kids would. She didn't just not inform them, she gave them false information, and that is not OK. There were no positive impacts of this on the Lacks; they are full of health problems. For example, in Deborah's old age, when she was traveling around with Skloot, she would get tremors, hives, and forget who she was with. Even though she was helping out the health of millions, it took a huge toll on the family. The book put doctors in such a bad light that I was happy to read that the grand kids were now being sent to school and educated as to what happened with their great-great-grandmother.
My favorite character was Christoph Lengauer, the researcher who gave Deborah the picture of the stains of the cells. He was the first doctor who took the time to explain and show what was going on in terms that they could understand. He didn't baby them, and told them what had happened, and it seemed like he did them a justice. After being lied to, cheated out of parts of themselves, they just needed clear information. Deborah even said they weren't looking for payment; she was happy that her mother had given so much for science, that she just wanted things to be leveled off or made fair. Justice might not be tons of money, but at the least that they should be afforded health care. Considering how much is being made off the sale of Henrietta's cells, and the poor living conditions the Lacks family and community are in, there is not social justice here.
I hope to stay connected to social justice in my studies at Bucknell. I am also in a class called "What happened to my privacy" that deals with the change in consent laws, and I will keep finding courses that explore these things.
Henrietta's Contribution to the Medical Field from the Viewpoint of an EMT
winning essay by Amy Patterson
It is extremely interesting, yet also frightening to analyze this novel from the view point of someone in the medical field today. As an Emergency Medical Technician, it is horrifying to think that all of the issues raised in Rebecca Skloot's novel, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, are fairly recent and have not completely subsided today. The conditions of hospitals have skyrocketed in many places, but there will always be institutions with more lax rules than others. In the most extreme case, Henrietta's daughter Elsie, who was diagnosed with "idiocy," (more accurately cerebral palsy and deafness), was subjected to cruel treatment and became a research subject. Today there are many debates about patients' rights and what is entitled to them specifically. In The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, a surprising protagonist, Henrietta's daughter Deborah, is left to deal with all of these issues without the one person who really could give her the complete truth, her mother.
Race plays a rather large role in Deborah's struggle for gathering the truth about her mother and HeLa cells. In the fifties when Henrietta was battling her cancer, being African American was not at all helpful. Even at a large, prestigious hospital like Johns Hopkins, there was, at most, one black ward with much worse conditions than its white counterpart. There was a stereotype that included the inability of African Americans to pay hospital bills. Henrietta's family had very little, like many other families in the south at the time. Doctors knew to treat black patients quickly and efficiently; they just went through the procedures with an air of indifference. When Henrietta was admitted at Hopkins, doctors actually misdiagnosed her cancer and therefore killed her with radiation that was unnecessary. Many times a misdiagnosis can occur from not taking the proper amount of time to get to know a patient or fully understand what the problem at hand is.
Society throughout the Twentieth Century cast off many people like Henrietta because of her race. When the Lacks family started to ask questions about their mother and her cells, they remained ill informed and were taken advantage of multiple times due to their lack of money and education. Any poor black families during this time period were denied many of their basic rights. Today, there is no doubt that racism still exists, but in the medical field, everyone is bound by law to treat everyone by the best of their abilities, without prejudice. No one can be denied care because of race, religion or ideas.
Ethically, the debate is brought up on many occasions whether the Lacks family should get compensation for Henrietta's cells or at least for the misdiagnosis and mistreatment of Henrietta. On one side, there is no law that binds tissues to a specific body once they have been removed. They are freed up to benefit scientific progress and research at that point. This principle seems hazy when one person's cells are used to produce a multi-billion dollar, worldwide company. The situation becomes even more controversial if the cells are linked to many necessary vaccines, cancer research, cloning and so much more. Half of Henrietta's family was and is still very upset that no money has filtered to them throughout all of this excitement. Deborah on the other hand took a nobler route by simply being proud that HeLa cells have done so much more the world. She wanted her mother to get the recognition she deserves while not halting scientific progress. Today if the Lacks's sued because of misdiagnosis of Henrietta's cancer, I believe there should be some sort of compensation awarded. Many doctors only focus on the cells and in turn, dehumanize the Lacks family. Many forget that these are real people who are going through hard times, dealing with death and financial problems. Rebecca Skloot focused on giving voice to the people behind HeLa cells, a long overdue action.
Fabrication of information in the medical field appears to be morally wrong according to today's standards, correct? Until a few years ago the Lacks family continued to be tricked and given false details since Henrietta's death in the fifties. Rebecca is the sole person to be completely honest with Deborah and her siblings form the start. During her reporting, she gathered more and more people that they could trust to explain the whole truth. Not being educated enough to understand everything about HeLa cells is not an excuse for researchers to leave the Lacks family in the dark about their mother. Dr. Christoph Lengauer took time with Rebecca, Zakariyya and Deborah to explain the basic about cells and exactly what Henrietta did for science instead of just saying that she cured cancer. Morally, few people took the high ground because the situation could be exploited so easily with the lax guidelines that existed. Unlike doctors and researchers before her, Rebecca got consent to take information and pictures from the Lacks family for her novel.
Today, consent is one of the biggest priorities in patient care. In an ambulance, paperwork needs to be filled out for every call with very detailed and exact documentation. Any medical professional even needs to gain consent before performing any treatment or care. This is a basic right of the patient; they truly can choose if they want help or not. If a patient cannot make a thoughtful and informed decision, such as if they are unconscious or under the influence, consent is ceded to the medical professional or anyone who can make a decision in the patient's best interest. Because the Lacks family was never fully informed, they gave consent to certain situations that ended up hurting them more in the end. Only much later do they finally learn that "cancer tests" do not exist and that their attorney was a fraud.
To learn the story behind HeLa cells, that there is actually a person with a family behind some of the most important medical advances, is incredible. It makes what I do as an EMT so much more personal. Her cells have made a huge impact and have saved millions of lives in the past fifty years. Besides her cells, Rebecca and Deborah worked hard to bring light to so many issues with the medical system that still are being worked out today. Even before I read this novel, I walked into an assisted living home to answer a 911 call and witnessed cruelty; patients sitting on over crowded floors, half dressed, treated badly. Upon reading this novel I have come to realize a horribly sad truth, had anyone compared this living situation to a hospital in the fifties, it would look pretty enticing. The medical field has advanced so much since then and I cannot even imagine what people like Henrietta and Elsie went through during their days in hospitals. There are so many issues left to resolve today, but we also have to remember how far it has come; many thanks are due to Henrietta, Deborah and Rebecca Skloot.

Here are the players that stood out for us as Cuala and Liam Mellows captured the headlines over the weekend…
1. Sean Brennan (Cuala)
Nipped Kilcormac/Killoughey's hopes of a second-half comeback in the bud when superbly saving Ciaran Slevin's penalty attempt.
2. Paul Walsh (Kanturk)
The Cork intermediate champions secured a 2-17 to 2-8 All-Ireland Club IHC quarter-final victory over Kilburn Gaels in Ruislip on Saturday.
3. Cian O'Callaghan (Cuala)
The Dalkey outfit's full-back and his defensive colleagues restricted their Offaly opponents to 1-5 from play.
4. Sean Morrissey (Liam Mellows)
The tight-marking corner-back and Liam Mellows ripped up the form guide when finishing with three points to spare over Gort.
5. John Sheanon (Cuala)
Collectively, the Cuala half-back line didn't put a foot wrong in O'Moore Park.
6. David Collins (Liam Mellows)
The experienced Collins had the pleasure of lifting the Tom Callanan Cup along with his fellow joint-captain Aonghus Callanan.
7. Sean Moran (Cuala)
The Cuala centre-back proved to be the rock on which many a Kilcormac/Killoughey attack perished.
8. Lorcan McLoughlin (Kanturk)
After claiming the scalp of Kilburn Gaels, goal scorer McLoughlin and his Kanturk team-mates will now switch their focus to a semi-final date with Middletown of Armagh.
9. Darragh O'Connell (Cuala)
Along with his midfield partner Jake Malone, O'Connell was a powerful presence under the puck-outs.
10. Colm Cronin (Cuala)
The industrious Cronin and his half-forward line colleague, Colum Sheanon, both contributed three points to the Cuala cause.
11. Adrian Morrissey (Liam Mellows)
Morrissey took the scoring honours with eight points (seven frees) in the Galway decider.
12. Tadhg Haran (Liam Mellows)
Haran pilfered 1-2 against Gort and then turned provider for Conor Kavanagh to score their team's third goal.
13. Seamus Prendergast (Ardmore)
Former Deise star Prendergast helped himself to 2-5 as 12-man Ardmore prevailed against Ballybacon-Grange in the Munster Club JHC decider.
14. Con O'Callaghan (Cuala)
'King Con' rounded off a year he will never forget with 1-2 in the provincial decider.
15. Kevin Kelly (Ballyragget)
When Ballyragget's back was very much against the wall, county man Kelly came up trumps to deny Glenealy of Wicklow.

Early last month, I just may have used two almost-birthdays as an excuse to finally experience Departure's new (to us) Pan-Asian, vegan-friendly happy hour offerings. The real kicker was their bao-sampling during IFBC's opening night, local restaurant exhibiting the week before. For all of the vegans attending, it was our first actual meal of the day, and Departure's option were among the very best of the night. True story, years before, Janessa and I had attempted to hold an Exquisite dinner there and the proposal crumbled (and to my understanding, this was under different management), so I admit, I held some resentment…something to gladly be proven wrong, when I heard about the rise of swanky vegan options. This was all, however, before the debut of a specialty vegan menu and two years of upscale, Summer's End vegan dinners from acclaimed chef Gregory Gourdet. And at this special happy hour, I was, certainly, without a doubt, and with several vegan and non-vegan friends in tow (both cheap and picky), proven fabulously otherwise. I've had plenty of vegan sushi in Portland and elsewhere, but the experience had never been so…chic.
Let's continue onto the fifteenth floor of the Nines, and get our exquisite vegan sushi and BBQ tempeh-stuffed bun on….
Consider me impressed.
The next time you have vegan-friendly, cocktail-appreciating guests in town you'd like to wow (and you know, Portobello's booked or closed for the night) you know where to go.

Shortbread biscuits can do little wrong in my eyes but I'd never seen a recipe for ginger shortbread before – that's what forms the base here:
I think I must have bored everyone on the planet with my love of golden syrup – here it's used to make a sticky ginger topping for the shortbread. Divine! The topping is so shiny you can see my camera flash in it:
Cut the biscuit into fingers; this is best done when the biscuits have cooled a little but haven' t totally firmed up:
I think these biscuits look rather stylish when finished and it belies just how easy they are to make.
The shortbread has a lovely open texture; I paused my eating long enough to snap this picture:
For the biscuit base:
225g plain flour
2 teaspoons ground ginger
85g golden caster sugar
175g unsalted butter
For the ginger topping:
55g unsalted butter
1 tablespoon golden syrup
2 tablespoons icing sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
Optional: white glace icing
2 tablespoons icing sugar
water (add tiny drops at a time)
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan oven 160°C/350°F/Gas mark 4.
- Grease and line a 28cm x 18cm tin (the sort of tin you would use for traybakes). I strongly recommend lining the tin as it makes it easier to remove the biscuits.
- Put the flour, ginger, and caster sugar in a bowl and mix together.
- Rub in the butter until the mixture starts to form biscuity clumps.
- Press the mixture into the tin and level.
- Bake for 40 minutes or until the shortbread is lightly browned. Mine took exactly 40 minutes.
- About 5 minutes before the biscuit base is baked, start making the topping. This is because you want to be able to pour the topping over the straight-from-the-oven shortbread base.
- Melt the butter and golden syrup in a small saucepan. Keep the heat low as you do not want to burn the butter.
- Stir in the icing sugar and ginger and ensure the mixture is smooth, glossy and lump free.
- Take the shortbread from the oven and pour the topping over straight away. Spread with a knife to ensure the topping is evenly distributed.
- Leave to cool slightly i.e. approximately 30 minutes, and then cut into 16 fingers. This is easiest when the biscuit base has firmed up a bit but is not hard.
- If you wish to add some white icing swirls simply mix together the icing sugar and water until you have a thick white icing. Either pipe or spoon over the ginger fingers.
- Leave to cool completely. I left the fingers in the tin until I served them.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Discuție Utilizator:IBAlex: Diferență între versiuni
Versiunea de la data 3 noiembrie 2012 22:02
Thank you
Thank you Alex, for your kind words. Currently, as far as I know, I'm the only native Romanian speaker admin left on this slowly dying version of WT (don't worry, it has been like this for the last couple of years, way before since the more recent events). I'm not sure what IB intends to do with WT, but I can say that I didn't like the way you (and I mean IB employees) suddenly appeared, made themselves admins, removed bureaucrat rights (from myself for instance etc.), and now you come and say thanks for all that I've been doing? I'm really not sure how to interpret that. Anyways, I reckon that besides myself, you also messaged the other 2 persons that expressed interest in a Romanian version of the upcoming travel site under the WikiMedia Foundation umbrella. So, here is what I think: as long as I'm allowed I'll keep an eye on WT (but personally I doubt you'll ever be able to revive a community around this website, on Romanian Wikipedia people are already aware of the new travel website and I guess people will come there), I will; if you want to remove my administrative rights, feel free to do so, there are still things that I can do without (but if I'm to revert the same spambot over and over without being able to block it, I will no longer do it). All the best! --Vlad 26 octombrie 2012 11:21 (EEST)
Thank you, IBAlex, for trust!
I contributed sporadically to WT, because I am a busy user and I work in another field of activity than tourism. However, I like the tourism and I wrote about the places I know better because I visited them, and also posted up about places I know less. I am a relative new user, Wikitravel is not the only site I wrote about travelling, but I could learn and help this project go further. --Histria12 26 octombrie 2012 15:43 (EEST)

Thursdays are among my favorite days with the Dolphins because I get to hear offensive coordinator Dan Henning and defensive coordinator Mike Nolan try to share as little as possible about what really is going on with the team and then I get to hear wide receiver Brandon Marshall be relatively open and engaging and interesting.
Today was no different. During his session with the media, the Miami alpha wide receiver addressed whether he's disappointed that Randy Moss won't be joining the Dolphins, talked about his lack of concern about receptions, his significant concern about his lack of touchdowns, and even his opinion about some teammates:
(On him and Brian Hartline going back and forth about who is faster) – "He's definitely faster but I like to give him a hard time (laughter). (You know) when we do our gassers or after practice I try to cut him off just messing with him. (laughter)"
(On how has he seen Brian Hartline's role evolve) – "I think he—not to put any more pressure on him but I think he invites the pressure and embraces it—but I think he plays, he has the biggest role as far as out of all the receivers. (You know) you got a guy like myself who…I sees a lot of coverage, a lot of cover 2 a lot of double teams and now we're seeing Davone (Bess) starting to get bracketed and double-teamed at times. So, he's the guy that got to beat one on one. That's why I'm here that's why I've been successful in the league and he has an opportunity to really do some big things the rest of this season and his career."
(On the Ravens legendary defense and what he sees in it) – "Legendary, I like that (laughter). The Ravens are legendary. Well Ray Lewis may be (laughter). They have some good football players. When you talk about football players that's what their defense is made up of. Sometimes you can't coach some of the things that they do. They have a great feel for the game and they're able to make a lot of plays from experience off of experience. It's not going to be a pretty game. We, both football teams are tough physical and I think this is going to be a defining moment on what type of team we're going to be for the rest of this season."
(On if he has even been in a press conference where Ed Reed's name doesn't come up) – "Absolutely, absolutely. But, my rookie year (you know) no one wanted to talk to me about (you know) what I thought (you know) ask those cheesy questions, so (laughter). Now I guess I got a bigger role, but, Ed Reed he's finally healthy and had two picks last week so it looks like he's back where he left off."
(On if he believes if Ed Reed is in training camp shape)—"I don't believe anything Ed (Reed) says (smiling). Ed's a liar (smiling). We put on film where you see Ed (you know) make a good play (you know) make a little play lay on ground, get up a little slow and then the next play get a pick and then the next series get another pick (you know). Nah, he's back."
(On how difficult is it to read what Ed Reed does in coverage)— "He breaks all the rules. He breaks all the rules and I think that's why he's so successful is because he has the ability to just read the quarterback. He may be in cover 2 and pick a ball in the flat—he's just amazing and makes a lot of plays for that ball club."
(On how disappointed is he that Randy Moss wasn't able to come to the Dolphins) – "I'm not disappointed at all. I just thought it would've been a good opportunity for our segment, our segment room. Now for team, that's not my decision. That's not my place, and I don't even know if that (may) have been a good fit for our team. But I know as far as us as receivers we're so young, including myself (I mean) I'm the oldest in the room and I'm only on my fifth year. So, just to get some wisdom from a guy like that who has been around a little bit and probably one of the best that's ever done it and (you know) I just looked at it as an opportunity to learn and help me get better and Brian (Hartline) and Davone Bess and Julius Pruitt (you know) all those guys."
(On why this is a defining game for this team) – "Because it's the next game; I'm going to say that every week, I'm going to say that every week but probably in different words. Every week's a defining game."
(On why the team has had so much success on the road) – "It's one of those things where we've been inconsistent and unfortunately we've been inconsistent in front of our fans at home. We're a good football team; we have a lot of great football players, our staff is amazing. We just got to be consistent and be effective when we have our opportunity."
(On the 96 yard drive last week and the offense's potential) – "Yeah, well I mean we have an explosive group from the running backs to the offensive line. We got Jake Long when we run gassers, up there with the wide receivers. It's impressive to see the talent that we have. Like I said we just have to be consistent and put it all together and definitely do a better job in the red zone."
(On running four wide receiver sets against the Ravens, something the Bills had success with) – "To each his own; everybody's formula for winning is different. Ours is a little different than Buffalo's. What we do well may not be the same so I think with the game plan that we have going in and that we're working on this week we should have some success."
(On whether he wants more receptions) – "More catches? More catches? I'm on track to have one of the best year's I've had. Now I need to get some more touchdowns, but more catches? I'm (a) top five targeted receiver in the league."
(On whether he wants more touchdown receptions) – "We can talk about touchdowns, but catches? That's better, no I think there's some frustration always because you want to see the offense live up to the potential. Hate to use that word but I think Coach Henning and his staff do a great job of getting the playmakers the ball or trying to. It's tough, it's tough, it's tough when we have to line up and beat the guy in front of us. They get paid to defend us and the coaches get paid to beat the coaches on the other side of the field. It's a battle; I think overall we do a great job of putting guys in position."
(On how often he would like to be thrown to even while covered) – "Well you got to understand, you have to understand when I'm covered, when it's one-on-one yeah we're going to throw it up. I'm looking at the top five, top 10 receivers in the league and even the coaches; we haven't seen so much coverage rolled to one guy. I think that's where Davone (Bess) is going to play a big role and Brian Hartline; he's playing a big role of just making plays. I think they're doing a great job of doing in week in and week out. If they're going to continue to take me away with two or three guys then there's other guys open. I am going to be frustrated; I may show some emotion. At the end of the day I know, what can we do if there's two, three guys on me?"
(On how his role had changed being the veteran at his position) – "I have to be accountable, each play each day and I think we have a great group. At the end of the day I am the oldest guy and there's been, had a little success so far. We're trying to win so whenever you see me talking to anyone it's probably trying to get everything on the same page."

The foul pop-up wasn't even caught by Pablo Sandoval, when the question was already being asked: Will the Giants keep their free-agent third baseman?
Sandoval is one of several dozen players who became eligible for free-agency this morning, a list that includes Max Scherzer, Jon Lester, James Shields, Nelson Cruz, Hanley Ramirez, Melky Cabrera, Asdrubal Cabrera and Jonny Gomes. None of whom will likely play in Flushing this summer.
Of course, there is always Chris Young.
Michael Cuddyer has been linked to the Mets, but his asking price might be too steep to plug him into left field. He made $10.5 million last season, and I don't see the Mets going that high. Especially since the Mets aren't expected to add more than $10 million in payroll over the winter.

Spring training is getting closer, and hope springs eternal as the days get closer.
What would this time of year be without some comments from a Phillies or Mets player to stoke the fire?
While this is tepid by comparison to Jimmy Rollins' "Team to Beat" assertions of the past, Mets outfielder Angel Pagan said the Mets have a chance against the Phillies.
"If we have health, we can give them a fight," Pagan told the New York Daily News. "Everyone is counting on Philadelphia, but they have to do it. I got my money on my team, bro. I love challenges and that's why I'm looking forward to it. I believe in surprises."
The Mets have changed managers and general managers in the offseason. "It's a different atmosphere, a new start and that's what we're looking for," Pagan said. "We're looking for a better year than last year and to be in the playoffs."
The Phillies will face the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field on May 15 in the annual Civil Rights Game, Major League Baseball announced. Game time is 2 p.m.
This will be the fifth annual event that began in Memphis in 2007 with an exhibition game between the St. Louis Cardinals and Cleveland Indians.
The game is part of a 4-day event to pay tribute to those who fought on and off the field for equal rights. Players will wear throwback uniforms from the Negro Leagues, along with pregame ceremonies recognizing the 2011 MLB Beacon Award recipients and on-field civil rights-themed musical performances. The awards are for those whose lives are emblematic of the spirit of the civil rights movement.

In response to Beyond Style 5, my good friend Jim Alexander (of Belleville, Illinois) wrote:
Reminds me of a story about teacher who had a visiting Okinawan sensei to instruct his class. In private moment, seeking to get some additional tidbit of useful information, he asked his senior, "Sensei, where is the correct place to complete the turn of the wrist in chudan uke; before contact, on contact or after contact is made with the opponent's arm? What is the correct answer, Sensei?" The Sensei thought for a moment, made a few blocks in the air to analyze the mechanics of the move, seeming to make an effort to be as precise as possible, then said "If you block the punch...then it is right".
We forget that Karate is not an arcane subject to be analysed..but an art to be performed. It is action, not style, that is most important. In the end, style, fashion, position, rank...means nothing. It's what you can do. One should be reminded that Miyamoto Mushashi was in his time, lacked formalized training, was dirty, uncouth, sloppy, a social reject. He was not samurai, or a refined gentleman or member of a fashionable ryu as was his most famous opponent Sasaki Kojiro...whom it is said he defeated with a single strike at Ganryu Island.

Crystal structure of the product Bacillus anthracis glmS ribozyme
Structural highlights
[SNRPA_HUMAN] Binds stem loop II of U1 snRNA. It is the first snRNP to interact with pre-mRNA. This interaction is required for the subsequent binding of U2 snRNP and the U4/U6/U5 tri-snRNP. In a snRNP-free form (SF-A) may be involved in coupled pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation process. Binds preferentially to the 5'-UGCAC-3' motif in vitro.[1]
Evolutionary Conservation
Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
The glmS ribozyme is the first naturally occurring catalytic RNA that relies on an exogenous, nonnucleotide cofactor for reactivity. From a biochemical perspective, the glmS ribozyme derived from Bacillus anthracis is the best characterized. However, much of the structural work to date has been done on a variant glmS ribozyme, derived from Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis. Here we present structures of the B. anthracis glmS ribozyme in states before the activating sugar, glucosamine 6-phosphate (GlcN6P), has bound and after the reaction has occurred. These structures show an active site preorganized to bind GlcN6P that retains some affinity for the sugar even after cleavage of the RNA backbone. A structure of an inactive glmS ribozyme with a mutation distal from the ligand-binding pocket highlights a nucleotide critical to the reaction that does not affect GlcN6P binding. Structures of the glmS ribozyme bound to a naturally occurring inhibitor, glucose 6-phosphate (Glc6P), and a nonnatural activating sugar, mannosamine 6-phosphate (MaN6P), reveal a binding mode similar to that of GlcN6P. Kinetic analyses show a pH dependence of ligand binding that is consistent with titration of the cofactor's phosphate group and support a model in which the major determinant of activity is the sugar amine independent of its stereochemical presentation.
Structural and chemical basis for glucosamine 6-phosphate binding and activation of the glmS ribozyme.,Cochrane JC, Lipchock SV, Smith KD, Strobel SA Biochemistry. 2009 Apr 21;48(15):3239-46. PMID:19228039[2]

Make your NAS Compatible with TiVo Desktop
NOTE: This article is only compatible with TiVo desktop versions older than 2.6 (or 2.6.1). The newest versions of TiVo Desktop will not connect to a NAS shared drive even with this workaround installed. I am disappointed, but hope ful that a future update will reverse this and allow home users to store their programs directly to their NAS.
TiVo Desktop is the software provided by TiVo that runs on your PC and allows you to stream MP3 audio and JPG photos to your TiVo. It also allows you to Transfer (copy) Television programs from the TiVo to your hard drive, where you can watch them with WMP or Burn them to DVD using Roxio MyDVD or VideoRedo TV Suite. With the Plus option you can also transcode and transfer video, such as DivX and WMV back to the TiVo so that it can be watched on the big screen instead of a small computer monitor. It is easy to use and works pretty well for what it does. There are also third party alternatives available that offer more features in exchange for more complexity in their use.
The Problem
This article addresses one bug (or Feature) of TiVo Desktop. It will not allow you to set the directory to which it stores the transferred television programs on your NAS. Attempts to do so result in repeated error messages that the folder was moved or changed, even though neither occurred. Whether it is intentional, or just a bug, it has not been fixed in three updates to the software. The problem has to do with TiVo Desktop attempting to set DOS Attributes of files in the selected folder and failing to allow you to use that folder if it can't set them the way it wants. The newest versions of TiVo Desktop, starting with 2.6 will not even allow a network drive to be selected, graying out the OK button on the folder selection dialog box if a network drive is highlighted. Thus this workaround is now only effective if you use an older version of TiVo Desktop.
One workaround is to place shortcuts in the folder on the PC to a folder on the NAS. This works fine for sending content to the TiVo, but not for transfers from the TiVo to the computer. Those will get placed in the PC directory and have to be moved manually to the NAS. That works fine, but some people want more.
Another is to use a program such as TiVo VideoRedo Autorpocessor Program (TVAP) and VideoRedo which automate converting *.tivo files transfered from the TiVo into MPEG-2 files, stripping commercials using VideoRedo, and saving the files. I have not tried this, though I plan to use it in the future, but it should be able to save the files to the NAS without difficulty.
Then there is the workaround of hacking your NAS to make it TiVo Desktop compatible. While it shouldn't be necessary to do this in the first place, this is after all a NAS hacking site, so we will discus this option in this article.
Hacking your NAS
The changes needed to make your NAS compatible with TiVo Desktop are actually fairly simple and straightforward. You do not need to be Linux expert, but you should have some acquaintance with the operating system, at least as a user. What we will do here is modify SAMBA on your NAS to make the share that you want to put *.tivo files onto handle DOS Attributes in the same way that windows does. Most NASes based on Linux do not do this. I presume this is due to performance issues, but don't know for sure. So if this slows your NAS down unacceptably, back out the changes and charge the exercise off as a learning experience. Linux and Samba can be configured to work this way, it is simply a matter of turning the feature on. There are a few prerequisites, the main being that the Linux kernel of your NAS supports extended attributes. I am using Freelink on an Original Kurobox and have upgraded the kernal to 2.6 using Andre's Web Installer. See Upgrade to the 2.6-kernel (ppc only) for details. You may need to ask around, to find out if your kernel is capable, or simply try this to see if it works.
- You have Telnet or SSH access to your NAS and can log in as root.
- You are familiar with the basic file structure of Linux on your NAS.
- You are familiar with editing configuration files.
- Your Kernel has support for extended attributes compiled into it.
- Your NAS doesn't use a RAID array and the file system containing the share supports the user_xattrib option. See the section on your file system's options on the Mount Man page to find out if it supports the option.
I am not sure what all the risks are, or how to fix them if they occur, but I will list the ones I can think of. I hope more knowledgeable users will provide some guidance here.
- If your kernel doesn't support extended attributes, there might be a problem. The worst case scenario is failure to boot, although it is more likely to just throw an error in a log and continue booting without enabling the option.
- If you apply the option to the wrong file system it probably won't work and may cause problems on that file system.
How To
Log into your NAS a root and Edit /etc/fstab to add the "user_xattr" option to the file system containing the share you want to make TiVo Desktop compatible. Here is my modified fstab as an example. Yours may show /dev/sdaX instead of /dev/hdaX which is fine. The X may differ on your NAS, it is 3 for me. Make sure you add the attribute to the correct file system.
Serenity:/etc/samba# cat /etc/fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> /dev/hda1 / ext3 defaults,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=20 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/hda3 /mnt ext3 defaults,noatime,user_xattr 0 0 Serenity:
At this point you can restart the NAS or continue with the next step. This change will not take effect until the NAS is restarted, as far as I know. (If a Linux guru wishes to edit in a command that allows this without a restart, feel free)
Next, edit your /etc/samba/smb.conf file to add the "store dos attributes = yes" line to the share you want to make TiVo Desktop compatible. Below is an example of my modified smb.conf with the addition. Your shares will be different, and you may have other options which are different. Most likely you will have settings that provide security for the share instead of the ones shown below which leave my shares wide open. (I may add some security later).
Serenity:/etc/samba# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf [global] security = share workgroup = global create mode = 777 directory mode = 777 [share] comment = Serenity Share path = /mnt/share read only = no public = yes guest ok = yes [tv] comment = Folder for Television Shows path = /mnt/tv read only = no public = yes guest ok = yes store dos attributes = yes Serenity:/etc/samba#
If you have done both file edits in one session, simply restart the NAS for all changes to take effect. If you restarted the NAS after editing fstab, you can do the following here to force samba to re-read the configuration file and not need to restart again.
Serenity:/etc/samba# /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba restart Stopping Samba daemons: nmbd smbd. Starting Samba daemons: nmbd smbd. Serenity:/etc/samba#

This little Puppy Sandwich is my favorite. All kids love puppies, so this is a great little fun sandwich to make for lunch ... just for fun. Or let the kids make their own, just put all the ingredients in the center of the table. A great party idea.
Items needed:
- 2 slices white or wheat bread
- 2 thin Pickle slices
- Red and Orange Pepper pieces
- Chives
- Olive slices
- Cucumber slice
- Sandwich filling of choice
- Cut bread slices into a large circle. Fill with desired meat, cheese or even PB & Jelly.
- Set on plate and then place pickle slices slightly beneath the sandwich to make ears. We usually dab the pickles and any veggies used with a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- Cut a nose from the orange pepper and a collar from the red pepper.
- Place Cucumber slice under one eye, using olive slices for eyes and a small piece of chive for the mouth.
- What a cute puppy !

ClinicSpeak: do vaccines cause MS?
Are live vaccines a no-no for people with MS?
#ClinicSpeak #MSBlog #MSResearch
"Most people diagnosed with MS analyse their lives and look for 'potential causes' for their MS. It is not surprising that vaccinations get fingered as being the trigger, or cause, of MS in many people. The evidence suggests the contrary (see review below). MS is relatively common and vaccinations are even more common, therefore by chance MS is going to present in some people shortly after they have had a vaccination. Therefore we have to rely on large population studies to see if there is any temporal (timing) relationship between vaccinations and MS. To the best of my knowledge the answer is no; we have no evidence that MS is caused by, or related, to any vaccine."
"With regard to relapses the evidence is less certain, simply because not all vaccines have been systematically studied. In relation to inactivated component vaccines, for example influenza and hepatitis B, there is no convincing evidence that would indicate that these vaccines trigger relapses. In relation to live vaccines I don't know. I say I don't know is that we know that infections are a well-defined, and studied, trigger of relapses. Approximately a third of relapses occur in the at-risk period (last 4-6 weeks) in relation to a recent infection. Live vaccines work because they are an infection, albeit an attenuated infection, with a virus or bacteria that is derived from a known human pathogen. This is why I always warn my patients with MS about live vaccines; live vaccines have the potential to trigger relapses. As always the decision to have a live vaccine is an individual one; a personalised risk:benefit decision about whether or not to have a vaccine to protect you against a potential infection and the undefined risk the vaccine may trigger an MS attack. For those of you on immunosuppressive DMTs live vaccines are generally a no-no, so the decision has already been made for you."
"What this post tells me is that there is a lot we still don't know about MS and how it relates to general immune function. May be when we know the cause of MS we will be able answer the questions about the safety of vaccines in people with MS based on evidence and not opinion."

Vaccine-associated inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system: from signals to causation
. Curr Opin Neurol. 2016 Mar 26.
: As the most cost-effective intervention in preventive medicine and as a crucial element of any public health program, vaccination is used extensively with over 90% coverage in many countries. As approximately 5-8% of the population in developed countries suffer from an autoimmune disorder, people with an autoimmune disease are most likely to be exposed to some vaccines before or after the disease onset. In fact, a number of inflammatory disorders of the central nervous system have been associated with the administration of various vaccines. These adverse events, be they spurious associations or genuine reactions to the vaccine, may lead to difficulties in obtaining public trust in mass vaccination programs. There is, thus, an urgent need to understand whether vaccination triggers or enhances autoimmune responses.
: By reviewing vaccine-associated inflammatory diseases of the central nervous system, this study describes the current knowledge on whether the safety signal was coincidental, as in the case of multiple sclerosis with several vaccines, or truly reflected a causal link, as in narcolepsy with cataplexy following pandemic H1N1 influenza virus vaccination.
: The lessons learnt emphasize a central role of thorough, ideally prospective, epidemiological studies followed, if the signal is deemed plausible or real, by immunological investigations.

December: Building the Kingdom of God in the Latter Days
"May the kingdom of God go forth, that the kingdom of heaven may come" (D&C 65:6).
The Aaronic Priesthood holders in your quorum were sent to the earth at this specific time to help prepare the world for the Second Coming of the Savior. They have special gifts and talents that the Lord wants them to use to help build His kingdom and share His gospel. The lessons in this unit will help them develop those gifts as they prepare to become leaders and teachers in the Church and kingdom of God.
To make Duty to God part of the Sunday quorum meeting, you may consider teaching the Duty to God outline below during this unit.
Outlines to choose from this month:
- How can I be a missionary now? (Duty to God)
- How can I become a better home teacher?
- How does Heavenly Father want me to use my spiritual gifts?
- How can I prepare to establish a Christ-centered home?
- What can I do to help new members of the Church?
- How can I help my less-active friends return to church?
- What is Zion?
- How can I participate in the hastening of the Lord's work?
Consider how you can plan activities that connect with what the youth are learning. A youth activities site is available to assist you. Many of the learning activities in these outlines could also serve as effective Mutual activities. Work with quorum presidencies to select and plan appropriate activities that reinforce what the young men learn on Sunday.
Duty to God
The following sections from the Duty to God book relate to the lessons in this unit:
"Understand Doctrine," pages 18–20, 42–44, 66–68

Questions to answer for Luis Suarez
The furore that surrounds Luis Suarez's actions, for good or bad, tends to obscure any context. In England there's a false impression that one strong season -- 31 league goals but no trophies -- makes him the best in the world. His work rate, his technique, his will to win and the quality of some of his goals mean that he is, genuinely, outstanding. But such is the hyperbole that there's no room for context.
- Report: Liverpool confirm Suarez-to-Barcelona move
- Kelly: Suarez someone else's problem now
- Molyneux-Carter: Top five Suarez moments at Liverpool
His fellow professionals, the captains and coaches of FIFA's international teams, voted him the 19th best player for 2013. And while his rating, football-wise, would increase for this year's Ballon d'Or based on his continued level of performance and goal production in the second half of that season, his appreciation will also be damaged by (A) his biting of Giorgio Chiellini and (B) the fact that he's currently banned until October.
Another part of the context that is ignored is that Barcelona have, for better or worse, had their bad boys or problem players before: Diego Maradona finished the 1984 cup final kicking Athletic Bilbao players rather than the ball and was banned for three months for his behavior; Romario was clinically incapable of arriving back from his holidays on time, or avoiding the nightclubs of the Catalan capital; Bulgarian Hristo Stoichkov waged all-out war on Louis van Gaal when the two men were together at the Camp Nou club -- indeed, he was fined, banned and eventually pushed out of the club for criticising the Dutchman in public.
Meanwhile, current star Lionel Messi's documentation was so outrageously complicated at the start of his professional career with Barcelona that he ended up banned from playing competitive football for six months.
Over at Manchester United, their modern history was changed by a player, Eric Cantona, who was repeatedly banned and fined for actions such as attacking teammates, throwing the ball at a referee, calling the French Federation bigwigs "idiots" to their faces and kung fu-kicking an abusive fan at Crystal Palace.
Problem players are sometimes worth the fuss.
Suarez's behaviour is abhorrent, and there seem to be many within the professional game who don't feel he's worth another chance in his career, given his repetitive offenses. That would certainly be my instinct. But in a playing sense he unites everything Barcelona have begun to lack in recent seasons.
Their previous excellence, for some time under Frank Rijkaard, then throughout Pep Guardiola's reign, and at the best of the late Tito Vilanova's title-winning season, has been such that it feels like they are in a slump right now. Yet last season hinged on fine details: they lost the cup final by a single (exceptional) goal; they lost out to Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinal, again by a single goal; and that elusive solitary goal would also have given them victory in La Liga on the last day of the season if they could have found it against Atletico.
• 31 - Premier League goals, winning the Golden Boot.
• 12 - Most assists in the Premier League.
• 24 - Scored the most goals from inside the box.
• 4 - Scored the most goals from counterattacks.
• 9 - Had the most shots that hit the woodwork.
• 3 - Most penalties won in the Premier League.
• 237 - Attempted more dribbles than any other player.
Those kinds of slight margins are those that a driven, aggressive, talented and hungry footballer like Suarez can erase.
He's going to meet his match in Luis Enrique though. The coach wasn't a serial biter like his new striker, but he was utterly driven to succeed. And he still is. There is an intensity about men like him, Suarez, Guardiola, Fabio Capello and Sir Alex Ferguson that raises them above their peers.
Introducing the Uruguayan -- someone patently liked by his former teammates, and a man showered in praise by his former captain Steve Gerrard on Friday when the deal was announced -- into this Barcelona dressing room will inspire some and force others to examine their own levels of work, intensity and commitment.
Together, these are the reasons Enrique has been a key force behind this purchase.
Barcelona are still a board-run club; little wonder when the sales of Cesc Fabregas and Alexis Sanchez, plus a reported 79 million-euro outlay on their new striker, are all in play. But the manager wanted the player -- Suarez is not being foisted on him.
The FIFA ban that inhibits Suarez for another three-and-a-half months may yet be reduced if the appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) is successful -- and you'd suggest that his inability to train might be a weak point in the punishment -- but the club know exactly what they are buying and what the scale of the problem is.
Conspiracy theorists will be looking out with eagle eyes for the imminent announcement of the 2014-15 fixture calendar, and if the first Clasico against Real Madrid is scheduled for a date before Suarez can return to football, then just wait for the wail of "conspiracy!" from the Catalan lobby. (You won't have to believe it, mind -- it's just a warning.)
However, having conceded that Suarez combines all the football elements that Barcelona require right now to make them more competitive, there are still a plethora of "buts" ...
For example, the equilibrium that Guardiola established at Barcelona during those golden years has been abandoned. No matter your allegiance, it is clear that he gifted the world a style of football that sharpened the senses, and would make even cynics fall in love with the game all over again.
But he believed in defensive rigor; he believed that in order to attack with verve, anarchy, daring and constant hunger for goals, there had to be an exhaustive emphasis on how, when and where to defend.
This Barcelona board is patently one that is no better educated than the intricacies of playground football: attack a lot, try to score more than the other team and forget about defending.
Barcelona have needed replenishment in height, defensive organisation, physical fitness and pace at the back for pretty much three seasons now. They still haven't addressed that problem, and until those promises are fulfilled their club's fans will not be wholly won over by the addition of Suarez to Neymar and Messi.
Suarez's arrival makes it a gross (not net) outlay of just under 220 million euros on two strikers (Neymar and Suarez) and two keepers (Claudio Bravo and Marc-Andre ter Stegen) over the past 12 months. This lacks balance; it smacks of spending your way out of problems.
Then, finally, a little bit of lateral context: in many ways, the signing of Suarez is a "Real Madrid-style" deal -- or, at the very least, a "Florentino Perez-style" deal.
Suarez, like Neymar, is a player Madrid wanted and planned to have: high profile, high price, high maintenance; right in the Galactico model. But there has been a significant change around the Bernabeu since Jose Mourinho left.
Talented young Spaniards have been signed, there is a greater identity to the team, Zinedine Zidane has now been given not one but two highly significant roles and, at the same time as Suarez is being announced, Madrid are welcoming back a deeply significant man in Fernando Hierro.
I'm not going to compare him with Pep at the Camp Nou; that's neither his role -- he's going to be Carlo Ancelotti's assistant -- nor would it be fair. But in his achievements, attitude, intensity, ambition and ability, he resembles Pep. That's why, despite being divided by the Clasico in their playing days, they formed a firm understanding and friendship while together for the national team.
Madrid are repatriating a guy needlessly pushed out in the early, boorish days of Florentino's presidency -- a guy who went on to play a crucial role in how Spain prepared to win and then won the World Cup in 2010. It's an interesting step.
Hierro being welcomed back into the Real Madrid family, given the way the team has been reshaped in the past 12 months, smacks of what Barcelona were doing six or seven years ago and went on to benefit hugely from.
Suarez? Well, honestly, it smacks of Galactico ideals. His punishment, however long, will be served, and in line with the way our society works, he'll deserve a clean start, rehabilitation and some clemency from our opprobrium by then.
He's an outstanding player, no question. But whether he's the right player, in the right position? Whether he will increase or decrease Messi's contentment at his club; help or hinder Neymar's development? Whether the outlay will reduce the club's ability to reinforce their defence? Whether he'll stop his regular descent into reprehensible behavior? All these questions will be in the spotlight from October onwards.

Is Mick Jagger To Blame For Brazil's Soccer Loss?
Brazil's 7-1 loss to Germany in World Cup semifinals yesterday (July 8) was a shock to the sports world. However, there lies a possible explanation as to why it happened: Mick Jagger was rooting for Brazil.
Deadspin discovered that Jagger, who has undoubtedly screwed his share of Brazilians over the years, attended the game in Belo Horizonte, sitting among Brazil fans with his son, who is half-Brazilian. Before the tournament began, he predicted that England and Italy would beat Uruguay during the group stage (Uruguay won both games) and that Portugal would win the tournament with England as runners-up (neither escaped the first round group stage).
This marks the second consecutive World Cup for the "Jagger Jinx." In the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, he was spotted with Bill Clinton during the U.S.' second-round loss to Ghana. Then he watched England get eliminated by Germany (also in the second round) and Brazil lose to the Netherlands. He then predicted that Argentina would beat Germany in the quarterfinals. Argentina lost 4-0.
It has gotten to the point where, as you can see in the photo above, soccer fans are making cutouts of Jagger wearing a jersey in the hopes of transmitting some of his bad luck on to the opposing team.

Hey everybody, glad to see more forums hanging around that cover the many goofy hobbies I've picked up over the last year!
I live in Denver (Lakewood, specifically), CO. Got into hammocking probably about 6 months ago, pretty much just out of boredom -- same thing can be said for most of my interests. Started with one I made out of just some heavy-weight cotton fabric and some poly-rope i bought at Home Depot, but it turned out to be too short and too narrow (probably 7ft x 48in). So I made another one a month ago or so that I set up in my room to sleep in that's made of canvas (9ft x 60in) and some better rope i picked up at REI. And finally, my third hammock that i just made yesterday is one I intend to take hiking/camping which i made out of some rip-stop.
My friend and I did some 'test' camping in our older hammocks towards the end of last summer, and we tried our current setups a few weeks ago on a night that got down to 20 degrees (didn't go so well, haha. But now we know what we need to improve on).
That's the gist of my history with hammocks. Hope my stay here will be a knowledgeable one!

Garbage collectors have been accustomed to the smell of garbage. The smell of filth. That is why they are hardly repulsed anymore whenever they are confronted by a pile of rotting fish and meat mixed with soiled diapers.
Strangely, I find Carlos Celdrán's latest caper less repulsive, too. Aside from getting used to hearing garbage news on TV, I find his recent tarpaulin controversy more comical than ever before, but still pitiful, nonetheless. This time, however, I have to side with Celdrán against allegations that he's a "papansín" (loosely translated as a person who perpetually seeks attention from the people around him). This is in relation to what he did two Fridays ago (18 March) against a helpless anti-RH bill tarpaulin.
Check out this video from everybody's favorite "rational hero":
As seen from the footage, the self-proclaimed "fat bastard" (Celdrán fans, before you strike, please be advised that this is how he described himself when he commented on a blogpost of mine last year; so there's no need to be furious, OK? blame your idol, not me) tore down the said tarp —bearing the words "Choose Life, Reject the RH/RP Bill"—, and then ran away with it like a cellphone snatcher.
Right after that, there was complete silence. He did not mention anything at all about that roguery of his in both his Twitter and Facebook accounts. Immediately after stealing the tarp, he bragged in his Facebook account that he opened up an HSBC account in Binondo as well as scrutinized the Department of Tourism's "Tara Ná" logo.
There was at all about the now controversial tarp that he stole.
So does this latest caper of his make him a "papansín"? Definitely not. Cayá ñga siyá tumátacbo sa vídeo, eh. Dahil ayáw niyáng magpahuli sa guinawá niyáng pagnanacaw. Ayáw niyáng mapansín. Eh caso nahuli.
Now, whatever happened to that no-nonsense, trash-talking, church-profaning Carlos "Fat Bastard" Celdrán that fans loved about him the most? Shouldn't they be disappointed with their idol, instead? He did not even inform them immediately right after he stole that darned tarp (Celdrán usually updates his "respectful" and "highly intelligent" fans on his daily activities and plans, even the most mundane ones). With all that running of his instead of another no-holds-barred attack against the clergy, it can be surmised, in a way, that Celdrán has gone "soft".
And why is that?
It should be remembered that Celdrán still has a court case hanging over his head for his unprofessional conduct inside the Manila Cathedral last year. Thus, it is but logical for his lawyer to advise him not to do anything silly anymore especially since they are negotiating for an out-of-court settlement via a pathetic apology that I do not believe is sincere (he proudly proclaims himself a "Cafeteria Catholic" and is affiliated with the anti-Catholic group Filipino Freethinkers).
Unfortunately for Celdrán, focusing too much on his "street heroics" made him forget a Bayani Fernando legacy: the closed-circuit television cameras mounted all over the metropolis. And when reporters contacted him about his CCTV video, it was too late to deny, of course. Aside from the CCTV, there were witnesses. So right after being interviewed by reporters, he posted this on his Facebook fanpage:
Seriously. They have me on CCTV and got witnesses to 'confirm' it was me. Dang. I did it 3 p.m. Who says I was trying to hide it?
I do. Because in the video, you were running so fast as if a hungry pack of wolves mistook you for Grimace. And you almost ran down on a motorbike, Carlos (and not the other way around; perhaps that motorcycle dude has nine lives). And just by observing your Facebook statuses and tweets (thank you for following me, by the way; I am so honored, really), it is very obvious that you would never have mentioned anything at all about that tarp you stole if you weren't caught on CCTV. But you were. So there. Tsk.
If there was no malice intended, especially since Celdrán thought that what he did was something heroic, he shouldn't have run. He should have just taken that tarp off then walked away with it with his head held up high. But by running away like a thief in the night, he proved to his enemies the kind of coward that he is.
And he added that he is "coming clean". Really. But why right after being caught on CCTV? He is saying that now only when he learned that we was caught on camera.
I am aghast that his shock-value fans did not even ask him why he was running away with his tail between his legs. Yet they still shower him with praises with his "coming clean" alibi.
Anyway, If I were stupid, I would have believed him, too.
With that pending case of his in jeopardy again, he can be considered as a lawyer's nightmare. So how to remedy it?
By pulling off another stunt, of course. And again, at the expense of the Catholic Church's tolerance on forgiveness. So with a barrage of mediamen, Celdrán marched to the church he profaned a year ago, to attend Mass and go to confession for the first time in years.
To my knowledge, he is the only celebrity in the world who publicized in advance his Sacrament of Penance.
There's your hero.
Let me reiterate: the Church is not involving itself in politics. To halt the creation of life —a very natural process— is not a political but a spiritual issue, something that is already metaphysical even. The Church is entrusted to protect the sanctity of life; the government has breached it. By proposing the RH Bill, the government has tread upon holy grounds, a terra incognita not understood by secularized minds in the government. In effect, the government has declared war against the Church. It was they, not the Church, who made the first volley of shots. CBCP or no CBCP, the Church was merely on the defensive end.
It is the government, not the Catholic Church, who is guilty of violating the separation of Church and State.
We do not need an RH bill. Celdrán, for instance, has been distributing condoms to squatter families in Intramuros for years yet he did not go to jail on orders from an "evil friar". And just visit your nearest health center; it is almost rare not to spot posters promoting "family reproductive health". Condoms, pills, ligation in hospitals, heck, they're everywhere. Frenzy condoms even sponsor rock concerts. You see such products in newspapers and magazines. Even on TV. And that RH Bill has not even been passed yet.
RH Bill proponents claim that this bill is also meant to educate the people about reproductive issues. Come on. I still remember clearly that I first learned about pills, IUDs, condoms, and the like when I was in the sixth grade — and in a Catholic school!
We do not need the RH bill to fight poverty. This overpopulation myth and all that hot garbage are not the cause of our economic woes. As a historian, Celdrán should know better.
Think. Don't merely grandstand.

Teen Cheerleader Guilty of Prostituting Girl
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Hennepin County prosecutors say a high school cheerleader admits she talked a fellow student into prostituting herself.
Eighteen-year-old Montia Parker pleaded guilty Friday to three prostitution-related counts.
Parker admitted that last spring, she told a 16-year-old fellow cheerleader at Hopkins High School about how the girl could earn money through prostitution. Parker admitted she placed an ad for the girl online, then took her to an apartment where the girl was paid for oral sex.
The girl gave $60 to Parker, who kept it. Prosecutors say Parker turned down a deal in which she would have received between 45 and 60 months in prison. Instead, attorneys will argue over her sentence at an October hearing.
A statement from prosecutors said that Parker told the court she felt: "Guilty. Regretful. Remorseful,"

Brian Reinhart is not your typical corn farmer. In fact, he is a forester by trade, but since farming has recently become more profitable, he decided to give it a try. Reinhart says venturing into corn farming has been a learning process. That's why the Williamsburg, Va., producer traveled all the way to Sioux Falls, S.D., to attend a Corn College Planter Clinic. "There's a lot of things you have to do right in order for everything to come together," he says.
