Is Polar Payoff The New Cornhusker Kickback? Change In GOP's Plan Benefits Alaska, And Alaska Only
Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is a crucial vote, and a new provision seems to recognize that fact.
GOP Health Bill Steers Cash To The Home State Of A Reluctant Senator
Call it the Polar Payoff. Changes made to the Republican legislation to repeal large parts of Obamacare would send hundreds of millions of extra federal dollars to Alaska, whose Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski has been holding off from giving her much-needed vote to the bill. Under formulas in the revised legislation, only Alaska appears to qualify for the extra money. The money comes from the legislation's $182 billion in funding meant to help stabilize insurance markets and help states provide coverage. Under the formulas, states -- in this case just Alaska -- with disproportionately higher premiums would get extra funds from that account. (Edney, Recht and Litvan, 7/13)
The Associated Press:
Alaska Would Score A Sweet Deal In Proposed Health Care Bill
Among the Republican holdouts needed to pass the bill is one of Alaska's senators, Lisa Murkowski. Her state has unusually high medical costs because much of Alaska is remote, and it relies heavily on Medicaid, which the Republican bill would cut. (Alonso-Zaldivar, 7/14)

Jan. 14, 2013— -- Tanya Angus, the Las Vegas woman who had the worst case of gigantism in the world, died today, according to her website and the Acromegaly Community, the advocacy group she inspired.
Angus, 34, died "due to her heart and TIA (transient ischemic attack or mini-stroke)," according to her website.
Acromegaly or gigantism is a rare pituitary disorder that causes the body to produce too much growth hormone. It affects about 20,000 Americans.
Since 2010, when ABCNews.com first told her story, Angus had continued to grow to be more than 7 feet tall and weigh 400 pounds. Before the disease began, she stood only 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighed 135 pounds.
"Her tremendous love of our community could only be matched by her generosity of spirit," said Wayne Brown, founder of the Acromegaly Community.
"No matter how tired or sick she was, you could always count on Tanya for a smile and a hug that was guaranteed to raise your spirits," said Brown. "Tanya's infectious laugh brightened up a room, simply by her presence. She always had time to say hi to one more person, even when she was too tired to do so. She was a hero to people around the world, simply because of her bravery and class, as she faced so many unknowns."
As her body grew larger, so did her heart, lungs, joints and other parts of her body. Soon she was being crushed by her own weight, and needed constant care from family and friends.
Her family was hopeful last year when new medication seemed to slow her growth.
Angus had grown so large that she could barely walk, and a swimming pool, where she could float, was the only place where she was without pain.
Her gigantism was caused by a tumor on her pituitary gland but radiation and three surgeries, in the end, did more harm than good. One 13-hour operation nearly killed her, and another caused a stroke that took away most of her hearing.
Her mother, Karen Strutynski, told ABCNews.com last year that Angus's acromegaly was the "worst in the world."
About 95 percent of the time, the condition is caused by a non-cancerous tumor on the pituitary gland, according to the Pituitary Network Association. Such was the case with Angus, but the tumor was wrapped around her carotid artery, and was inoperable.
As a result of gigantism, fluid accumulates in the body, causing stress on multiple systems. Patients are more prone to cardiac conditions, hypertension and diabetes. They suffer headaches and joint pain or premature osteoarthritis, and their mortality rate is two to four times that of the general population, according to medical advisers to the Acromegaly Community.
At 21, Angus was a beautiful young woman who rode horses, danced and had a boyfriend. But one day, she noticed changes: Her shoes didn't quite fit, her jeans were too tight and her hands got bigger.
"She was perfectly normal, but by age 22 she had grown three inches," said her mother. "Nobody knew what was going on."
Angus, who lived in Michigan and was a supervisor at a Walmart, began to worry when even her face and head got larger. Her bosses also noticed -- and fired her. And her boyfriend left when his parents began to ask, "Is she a man?'"
Tanya decided to return home in 2002. When her sister picked her up at the airport, she "freaked out," because she didn't recognize Tanya.
The doctor took one look and diagnosed acromegaly.
"Acromegaly Community's members all stand together in mourning of this wonderful woman," said Brown in a statement. "We love and loved her in a real and true fashion. And while we are saddened for the passing of such a wonderful person, everyone in our organization feels richer for having her in our lives....
"Rest in peace, dear princess."

Arkansas' senators help confirm DeVos as education secretary
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas' two U.S. senators joined with nearly all their Republican colleagues in voting for the confirmation of Betsy DeVos as education secretary Tuesday.
After the Senate split 50-50, with two Republicans voting against confirmation, Vice President Mike Pence cast a tie-breaking vote in support. It was the first time a vice president has broken a tie on a cabinet nomination.
Sens. John Boozman and Tom Cotton, both Republicans, said in separate statements Tuesday they believe DeVos will support the principle of local control.
"As a former school board member and the father of three daughters who were educated in the public school system, I understand how important it is to have education decisions made at the local level. Betsy DeVos shares this value," Boozman said.
Boozman said, "DeVos will advocate for all schools, public and private, and will ensure that schools are accountable to the states, not a national school board. She is committed to implementing the laws as Congress wrote them, which will return decision-making control for our classrooms to Arkansas's communities where it belongs."
Cotton said President Donald Trump "has assembled a first-class team for his cabinet, and obstructing all of these confirmation votes is only delaying the important work that needs to be done."
"In my conversation with Betsy DeVos, I found her to have a deep appreciation for the value of public schools and a special concern for the needs of the disadvantaged. I have every expectation she'll return power to Arkansas parents, as I've long advocated for," Cotton said.
The two Republicans who voted against confirmation were Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.
DeVos, the daughter-in-law of billionaire Amway co-founder Richard DeVos, has been an advocate of the charter school system in Detroit and a supporter of school choice and school vouchers. She has been one of Trump's most controversial cabinet picks.

The human belief that the sun, the moon, the planets and the zodiacs influence earthly events is best displayed when Sri Lankans celebrate the New Year in April.
Words: Jennifer Paldano Goonewardene
Through the clementine mists of yonder, arrives a shiny carriage. A prince in a white crown is the harbinger of glad tidings. He is Indradeva, or the prince of the New Year, descending auspiciously upon the earth. It is the 14th of April, the day of a grand festival in Sri Lanka.
The mythological prince arrives at the dawn of the New Year, which is solely determined by looking at the movement and positions of the celestial bodies through the signs of the zodiac.
The New Year begins when the sun, according to astrology, having travelled in a zodiacal circle of 12 segments, completes the transition from the zodiacal position of Mina (Pisces) to Mesha (Aries), which signifies the end of an old year and the start of a new.
Astrology and its predictions are at the heart of Avurudu celebrations. Every rite is dictated for the good of humans, astrologers say. Although influenced by early Vedic practices, the ancient Sri Lankans would have been well informed about zodiacal studies, had a keen knowledge of the constellations, the movement of the planets and the transition of the sun, an inheritance that tells of a people that worshipped the sun. The sun or 'Soorya' after all, was a god to those who relied on it for a bountiful harvest. Hence, the New Year is also known as the festival of the sun-god.
While in the West, a person's zodiac sign is determined by their month of birth, in Eastern cultures such as Sri Lanka, it is the planetary positions relative to the earth at the time of birth that decides the zodiac sign. Astrologers will disregard the practice of using the mythological symbol that usually denotes each zodiac sign - such as the 'lion' for Leo, 'fish' for Pisces, the 'human-animal' hybrid for Sagittarius - to describe an individual's personality. They describe this as an attempt at providing an 'artistic interpretation
of zodiac symbols'.
The complete cycle of the sun along the zodiac was accepted as the beginning of a calendar year by agricultural societies like Sri Lanka, as it allowed the calculation of the time of harvesting.
On the other hand, astrology also uses the four elements of air, fire, water and earth to define the unique personality types associated with a zodiac sign. The scrutiny of the planetary movements along the zodiac and their influence on human life dominates the ethos of this epic festival.
It is obviously a busy pre-Avurudu season for astrologers, charting the times for the end of the old year and the beginning of the New Year all the while studying the prospects for the zodiacs, including their influence on wealth, employment, domestic life and health. Thus, an auspicious time is plotted even for the final bath in the old year. There is a special time for every New Year ritual.
Strictly following the designated 'times' is inviolable for the believer of the power of the zodiac to ensure that the year ahead or the 'Aluth Avurudda' remains free of strife.
It is customary to consult the village astrologer to find out the likely effects of the auspicious times of the New Year on one's horoscope and future prospects.
Another significant phenomenon with astrological importance is the interim period of the crossing, when the sun has neither completely left Pisces nor fully entered Aries, known as the nonagathaya. The nonagathaya is the only period in the year when the sun is 'out of time'. This is an inauspicious period, which can have malefic influences on individuals. The movement of the planets along the zodiac cycle at the time of the transition of the sun, it is believed, impacts the earthly events of the person bearing a certain zodiac sign. Fire, water and milk, symbols of fertility are not touched during this period of danger. The malevolence is subverted by engaging in spiritual observances and divine practises.
However, the latter six hours of this ominous period is considered extremely propitious as the sun has by this time entered the house of Aries, which negates all malefic influences associated with the time of transition. This latter period is considered ideal by the astrologers to plot auspicious days and times according to one's zodiac sign. A desire for happiness and success has led humans to rely greatly on astrology, and its many predictions upon the zodiacs. And at Avurudu, astrological deductions associated with the festival are held sacrosanct to ensure a very positive start to a new year.

Women's roles on television have been analyzed over the course of television's history. Through the 20th century and into the 21st century, the evaluation of gender roles has come mostly through the analysis of women. Why not men? In Cable Guys: Television and Masculinities in the 21st Century (NYU Press, 2014), Amanda D. Lotz attributes the lack of analysis and typology to the abundance of types of male characters in television, which leads to an audience who is more accepting of the male characters they see on television. In the following excerpt from the introduction, Lotz examines why male television characters have not been analyzed in depth under gender studies while many male film characters have.
What Do We Know about Men on Television?
It is revealing that so little has been written about men on television. Men have embodied such an undeniable presence and composed a significant percentage of the actors upon the small screen—be they real or fictional—since the dawn of this central cultural medium and yet rarely have been considered as a particularly gendered group. In some ways a parallel exists with the situation of men in history that Michael Kimmel notes in his cultural history, Manhood in America. Kimmel opens his book by noting that "American men have no history" because although the dominant and widely known version of American history is full of men, it never considers the key figures as men. Similarly to Kimmel's assertion, then, we can claim that we have no history of men, masculinity, and manhood on television—or at best, a very limited one—despite the fact that male characters have been central in all aspects of the sixty-some years of US television history. It is the peculiar situation that nearly all assessments of gender and television have examined the place and nature of women, femininity, and feminism on television while we have no typologies of archetypes or thematic analyses of stories about men or masculinities.
For much of television studies' brief history, this attention to women made considerable sense given prevailing frameworks for understanding the significance of gender representation in the media. Analyses of women on television largely emerged out of concern about women's historical absence in central roles and the lack of diversity in their portrayals. Exhaustive surveys of characters revealed that women were underrepresented on television relative to their composition of the general populace and that those onscreen tended to be relegated to roles as wives, love interests, or sex objects. In many cases, this analysis was linked with the feminist project of illustrating how television contributed to the social construction of beliefs about gender roles and abilities, and given the considerable gender-based inequity onscreen and off, attention to the situation of men seemed less pressing. As a result, far less research has considered representations of men on television and the norms or changes in the stories the medium has told about being a man.
Transitioning the frameworks used for analyzing women on television is not as simple as changing the focus of which characters or series one examines. Analyzing men and masculinity also requires a different theoretical framework, as the task of the analysis is not a matter of identifying underrepresentation or problematic stereotypes in the manner that has dominated considerations of female characters. The historic diversity of stories about and depictions of straight white men has seemed to prevent the development of "stereotypes" that have plagued depictions of women and has lessened the perceived need to interrogate straight white men's depictions and the stories predominantly told about their lives. Any single story about a straight white man has seemed insignificant relative to the many others circulating simultaneously, so no one worried that the populace would begin to assume all men were babbling incompetents when Darrin bumbled through episodes of Bewitched, that all men were bigoted louts because of Archie Bunker, or even that all men were conflicted yet homicidal thugs in the wake of Tony Soprano. Further, given men's dominance in society, concern about their representation lacked the activist motivation compelling the study of women that tied women's subordinated place in society to the way they appeared—or didn't appear—in popular media.
Gender Studies: Focusing on Men
So why explore men now? First, it was arguably shortsighted to ignore analysis of men and changing patterns in the dominant masculinities offered by television to the degree that has occurred. Images of and stories about straight white men have been just as important in fostering perceptions of gender roles, but they have done their work by prioritizing some attributes of masculinity—supported some ways of being a man—more than others. Although men's roles might not have been limited to the narrow opportunities available to women for much of television history, characteristics consistent with a preferred masculinity have pervaded—always specific to the era of production—that might generally be described as the attributes consistent with what is meant when a male is told to "be a man." In the past, traits such as the stoicism and controlled emotionality of not being moved to tears, of proving oneself capable of physical feats, and of aggressive leadership in the workplace and home have been common. Men's roles have been more varied than women's, but television storytelling has nevertheless performed significant ideological work by consistently supporting some behaviors, traits, and beliefs among the male characters it constructs as heroic or admirable, while denigrating others. So although television series may have displayed a range of men and masculinities, they also circumscribed a "preferred" or "best" masculinity through attributes that were consistently idealized.
The lack of comprehensive attention to men in any era of television's sixty-some-year history makes the task of beginning difficult because there are so few historical benchmarks or established histories or typologies against which newer developments can be gauged. Perhaps few have considered the history of male portrayal because so many characteristics seemed unexceptional due to their consistency with expectations and because no activist movement has pushed a societal reexamination of men's gender identity in the manner that occurred for women as a component of second-wave feminism. Male characters performed their identity in expected ways that were perceived as "natural" and drew little attention, indicating the strength of these constructs. Indeed, television's network-era operational norms of seeking broad, heterogeneous audiences of men and women, young and old, led to representations that were fairly mundane and unlikely to shock or challenge audience expectations of gender roles.
One notable aspect of men's depictions has been the manner through which narratives have defined them primarily as workers in public spaces or through roles as fathers or husbands—even though most male characters have been afforded access to both spaces. A key distinction between the general characterizations of men versus women has been that shows in which men functioned primarily as fathers (Father Knows Best, The Cosby Show) also allowed for them to leave the domestic sphere and have professional duties that were part of their central identity—even if actually performing these duties was rarely given significant screen time. So in addition to being fathers and husbands, with few exceptions, television's men also have been workers. Similarly, the performance of professional duties has primarily defined the roles of another set of male characters, as for much of television history, stories about doctors, lawyers, and detectives were necessarily stories about male doctors, lawyers, and detectives. Such shows may have noted the familial status of these men but rarely have incorporated family life or issues into storytelling in a regular or consistent manner.
This split probably occurs primarily for reasons of storytelling convention rather than any concerted effort to fragment men's identity. I belabor this point here because a gradual breakdown in this separatespheres approach occurs in many dramatic depictions of men beginning in the 1980s and becomes common enough to characterize a subgenre by the twenty-first century. Whether allowing a male character an inner life that is revealed through first-person voice-over—as in series such as Magnum, P.I., Dexter, or Hung—or gradually connecting men's private and professional lives even when the narrative primarily depicts only one of these spheres—as in Hill Street Blues or ER—such cases in which the whole lives of men contribute to characterization can be seen as antecedents to the narratives that emphasize the multifaceted approach to male characters that occurs in the male-centered serial in the early 2000s. Though these series offer intricately drawn and complex protagonists, their narrative framing does not propose them as "role models" or as men who have figured out the challenges of contemporary life. The series and their characters provide not so much a blueprint of how to be a man in contemporary society as a constellation of case studies exposing, but not resolving, the challenges faced.
The scholarly inattention to men on television is oddly somewhat particular to the study of television. The field of film studies features a fairly extensive range of scholarship attending to changing patterns of men's portrayals and masculinities. While these accounts are fascinating, the specificity of film as a medium very different from television in its storytelling norms (a two-hour contained story as opposed to television's prevailing use of continuing characters over years of narrative), industrial characteristics (the economic model of film was built on audiences paying for a one-time engagement with the story while television relies on advertisers that seek a mass audience on an ongoing basis), and reception environment (one chooses to go out and see films as opposed to television's flow into the home) prevent these studies of men on film to tell us much about men on television. Further, gender studies and sociology have developed extensive theories of masculinity and have been more equitable in extending beyond the study of women. Although theories developed in these fields provide a crucial starting point—such as breaking open the simple binary of masculinity and femininity to provide a language of masculinities—it is the case that the world of television does not mirror the "real world" and that the tools useful for exploring how societies police gender performance aren't always the most helpful for analyzing fictional narratives. Sociological concepts about men aid assessments of men and masculinity on television, but it is clearly the case that the particularities of television's dominant cultural, industrial, and textual features require focused and specific examination.

Connect With Your Higher Self
Tarot and Oracle Card Readings
Spiritual awakening support through oracle and tarot card readings, words of affirmation, and conscious creation.
History of Tarot Cards
Tarot can be a language of the Divine in us, a way that our hearts and spirits can lovingly speak to us and encourage us on our highest path to love and joy. For centuries, this tool has been haunted with secrecy, fear, dark imagery, and religious judgment which made these card decks seem shadowy and frightening. Even many Christians and other religions today believe that Tarot Cards would be listed as one of the "prohibited" divination tools in the Old Testament. Yes, folks, you heard that right, you are on the road to darkness and hell if you even look at Tarot Cards. (hint of sarcasm intended) As with any so-called "divination tool" the source/spirit and intention behind the messages is really what matters, not the cards themselves. We give objects power not the other way around.
However, Tarot actually began as a game full of laughter, happiness, and community back in the early 15th century in Northern Italy way after the Biblical Era. As time went on, people began to see that these cards told a story that mirrored their lives. They began to believe there was some sort of magical quality to them. And in a way, there is.
How To Use Tarot Cards
I would say I have a different perspective and way of how to read Tarot Cards for Spiritual Guidance and insight than many other professional readers I have encountered. But truly, as an intuitive reader, I would also say there is not a wrong or right way of going about it. Let's begin with some Quantum Science.
The Law Of Attraction is the attractive, magnetic power of the Universe that draws similar energies together. It manifests through the power of creation, everywhere and in many ways. Even the law of gravity is part of the law of attraction. This law attracts thoughts, ideas, people, situations, circumstances, and in this case – cards.
The Law of Vibration states anything that exists in our Universe, whether seen or unseen, broken down into and analyzed in its purest and most basic form, consists of pure energy or light which resonates and exists as a vibratory frequency or pattern.
I believe Tarot is more of a roadmap presenting the current vibration and trajectory of the person a card reading is for. This can change at any given moment which debunks the idea that it is a "fortune-telling" or "divination tool" that can tell you your future as if you are a victim of fate or just some parlor trick. However, admittedly many tarot readers use it this way. In my opinion, this puts them in the place of God in someone's life. I do not agree with this as I feel it disempowers people and my mission is divine empowerment – reconnecting people with their own access to Spirit.
All someone can really know for certain is the energy and actions surrounding the present and how those current vibrations might affect the future. So instead, a more empowered way to use the cards is to co-create the future with the divine by increasing awareness of one's heart space and spiritual integrity – recognizing the powerful effect of setting intentions. So either a reading can come from a clarity of soul vibration or divine intervention.
The "magick" comes in when the tarot reading originates from a place of surrendering to the Highest Good of all, not in knowing all the answers or controlling the outcome. (Also described as the will of God/Source/Creator or Divine Plan, what some may call Destiny or Prophecy.) This too can come through readings as a divine download on the highest frequency, empowering a person to shift into their highest potential. This kind of reading is my personal favorite! I often will ask for divine guidance on what requires awareness and what steps to move forward in the highest way. Using Tarot Cards as an intuitive personal and spiritual growth tool!
The symbolism in Tarot reminds me of the dream world. Some decks have cards that represent shadows within us or our lives and others are more "in the light." The truth is, however, we all have light and dark within us. A battle that rages on in our human experience. Nightmares and dark imagery appear in our dreams giving us warnings and important messages of transformation. There is nothing to fear in the shadows because only love is real and love is always guiding us back to the light, even in our own darkness. The key is bringing our attention back to the light – to the energy of love. It is important to master our inner life by embracing and loving all aspects of our humanity as well as our divinity. I believe Tarot Cards can be a Divine Tool of Spiritual Transformation.
Difference Between Tarot and Oracle Cards
Energetically, a Tarot reading brings a more detailed storyline and Oracle cards bring insight into the greater sense of a situation. Tarot cards are like the pages within a book, Oracle cards are like an overview or bigger picture. I enjoy the simplicity of Oracle Decks but other times it is helpful to focus in on the details. Although there are some differences between oracle and tarot card readings, both are powerful tools for guidance, clarity, and a new perspective.
What Is An Oracle
An Oracle is a spiritual conduit of Spirit, who remembers his or her true Self, and is rooted in LOVE. An Oracle remembers the oneness of the Universe and the mission to care for our planet. Oracles intuitively know how to offer healing energy to others as well as themselves. They have a gift for interpreting the metaphorical messages, sings, sounds, or symbols from Spirit. They listen to their heart and naturally takes on the roll to guide others in listening to the wisdom of their own hearts. Historically, Oracles remembered and recorded songs and stories to keep them alive. When Socrates asked The Oracle of Delphi how he could become wiser, she told him to "Know Thyself."
Tarot Cards
78 Card Deck – traditionally structured and speak to the details of one's life story. Most decks are derived from the famous Rider-Waite deck, featuring the traditional wands, cups, swords, and pentacles. Other decks use elements such as fire, water, air, and earth, or other symbolism to represent the suits.
Major arcana – Arcana means "mysteries." Symbolically represents a story woven through cards 0-21 addressing the big events and transitions in life (births, weddings, new jobs). It all begins with a Dreamer's Journey.
Minor arcana – Represents the other 57 cards similar to a deck of playing cards addressing our everyday experiences. This section includes pip cards (cards numbered Ace to Ten) in four suits. Most decks use the page, knight queen, and king for the court cards which often represent ourselves or other people in our lives.
Oracle Cards
Oracle cards are a free-flowing form and are believed to be developed from Tarot back in 19th century France. Both decks are alike in how they are used to receive spiritual guidance. However, oracle cards do not include suits, court cards, or arcana and can be any amount of cards. They are a powerful way for people to learn to trust and sharpen their own intuition and connection to Spirit. A modern invention, oracle decks come without the traditional rules and years of history of Tarot.
There are many different types of decks with a variety of functions. They can be essentially whatever the creator of the deck chooses – how many cards, the imagery, and purpose. Oracle cards have words and images, along with a book as a guideline of how readers can interpret them. I like to think of them as divine encouragement and inspiration infusion decks!
Angel Cards
Angel cards access the energies of angelic beings that embody God's love, care, and protection. Angel messages provide inspiration, encouragement, positive affirmations, and guidance for whatever challenges you face. The lessons angel cards address all aspects of human life, but center on spiritual advice.
I am a Certified Angel Card Reader and Angel Intuitive. I feel very connected to Heaven and the angelic realm. I often ask for the healing assistance of angels during readings and energy sessions. Most of my decks are considered "Angel Cards" which are generally 44 cards, which is how I got started with readings actually. The numbers 44 and 444 are associated with the angels. When repeating 4s show up in your life, it may be the angelic realm letting you know you are being divinely guided and protected.

Source: Colo. Man in Suspected NYC Subway Plot Admits Ties to Al Qaeda
The Colorado man under FBI investigation into an alleged New York subway terror plot has admitted he has ties to Al Qaeda and is in negotiations to plead guilty to a terror charge, a source at the Department of Justice told FOX News.
The source said 24-year-old Najibullah Zazi, who until now had protested that he had no connection to Al Qaeda, changed his story Friday. Zazi reportedly told officials that he had received explosives training and may plead guilty as part of a deal to cooperate with the government.
A senior intelligence official in Washington told The Associated Press that Zazi has indicated that he is directly linked with Al Qaeda. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss intelligence matters, said Zazi played a crucial role in an intended terrorist attack but that it was not immediately clear what the targets were.
The official went on to say that the plot was being directed from outside the United States.
Zazi had submitted to two eight-hour interrogations, Wednesday and Thursday, at the FBI offices in Denver, and he was called back for further questioning Friday.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force went through Zazi's home, as well as the nearby residence of his aunt, Rabia Zazi. The searches are part of a terrorism investigation that fed fears of a possible subway bomb plot and led to several police raids Monday in New York City.
Authorities have not said what they found and have made no public statements on the investigation. Officials in both New York and Colorado have said they knew of no specific threat.
Zazi, who authorities suspect of training at a Pakistani terror camp, reportedly had bomb-making diagrams on a computer that he carried with him on a visit to New York. Zazi's attorney had denied these allegations.
His defense team said Friday that FBI agents also will question Zazi's father, though the FBI didnt't say why it wanted to talk to him.
Najibullah Zazi hasn't been arrested, and his attorney, Arthur Folsom, says he doesn't expect him to be. He said his client has never met with al-Qaida operatives and isn't involved in terrorism.
"He's simply somebody who was in the wrong place at the wrong time," Folsom said Thursday.
Folsom told The Denver Post the agents aren't repeating questions to Zazi but are asking different things.
"They are going through things — the best I can describe it is chronologically. Covering all the bases," Folsum said.
Najibullah Zazi is a driver for an airport shuttle service in Denver. Authorities say he rented a car and drove from Denver to New York, crossing into Manhattan the day before the anniversary of Sept. 11, 2001.
He was stopped in what was described as a routine stop at the George Washington Bridge before he was allowed to go free.
A relative said Zazi drove because he wanted to see the American countryside. Zazi said he went to New York to resolve some issues with a coffee cart he owns in Manhattan, but officials suspected that something more sinister might have been in the works.
FBI agents and police officers with search warrants seeking bomb materials searched three apartments and questioned residents in the neighborhood in Queens where he was staying.
A joint FBI-New York Police Department task force feared Zazi may be involved in a potential plot involving hydrogen peroxide-based explosives like those cited in an intelligence warning issued Monday, said two other law enforcement officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak about the investigation.
Folsom said Zazi was born in Afghanistan in 1985, moved to Pakistan at age 7 and emigrated to the United States in 1999. Zazi's aunt had said earlier that he was born in Pakistan and grew up in Queens, New York City.
Folsom said Zazi has returned to Pakistan four times in recent years: in 2004 because his grandfather was sick and dying, in 2006 to get married, and in 2007 and 2008 to visit his wife.

Press Briefings. On 20 April the government of the
Here is what the Cayman Net News published on 23 April:
Cabinet Ministers demand say in key Government agencies
Monday, April 23, 2007
Elected members of Cabinet are insisting that they be involved in national security matters involving the Royal Cayman Islands Police Services, HM Customs and Immigration Department. Currently, these responsibilities fall under the Governor's reserved powers in the
"This is just not right, we are the elected representatives, we are the people held accountable irrespective of what the Constitution says," said Mr McLaughlin, stressing that it is his personal opinion on the matter . . . Mr McLaughlin said he was not prepared to support funding for the police if Cabinet did not form part of the discussions.
"It is fundamentally wrong and I have made it clear that I am not prepared to support funding or anything to do with the police if I am not apprised of the basis of that funding and if the elected Government is shut out of the discussions about it," said Mr McLaughlin. "This is a constant battle and constant tension and we are seeking to have at least one elected member of the Cabinet part of these discussions."
Mr McLaughlin warned that there could be a crisis if Cabinet is left out from discussions involving the three agencies. "From my perspective they are either going to involve the elected Government or they will have a crisis on their hands," he said.
Is this not a refreshing change from how our Executive Council fails to publicise its difficult issues?
Of course, we in Anguilla are in complete control of our Customs and Immigration Departments. They fall under the Chief Minister's portfolio
That's not just my opinion, but the opinion of a majority of persons who made representations to the Commission. Would it not be wonderful if we really had regular press briefings like those given by the Cayman Executive Council? How much we would learn about the problems faced by our government! How much more support we could give them!

Since I started crafting I generally made more than one of anything I tried that took under 2- 3 hours to make. Thus the collections to friends .Since I've retired and have more time, well you get the picture.
I've made lots of Mug Rugs . You can see this group individually if you go to the link
They went to a group of Vets from an Honor Flight trip that a friend of mine was a guardian,
I also work with a team for Operation Shoebox that makes para cord bracelets for our troops which lead me to making a bunch of childrens bracelets for Operation Christmas Child, which is a holiday effort under the international organization "Samaritan's Purse".
Another fun item I have made lots of are Crochet/knitted Pin Cushions
This group went to Angel Snugs for a fund raiser.
I am an active member of The Big Cypress Chapter,of the Quilt Guild of the Villages, Fl. One of our chapter's Charity projects is to make Preemie Quilts for a local Hospitals NIC unit. I have the privilege to chair this group of amazingly productive ladies.
Our ladies make tiny quilts(11 x 11 and 17 x 17) for Christmas, Halloween, 4th of July and Easter. The hospital has made arrangements with a photographer to take photos of these wonderful little ones to celebrate their first holidays and our little quilts add to the celebration. Our group delivers 90 - 100 quilts per holiday.
I supervise the project I don't actually sew for it. I do take all the scrap fabric back and make something small for all of my wonderful volunteers
Easter Goodie Bags
Last year I made Drawer String Bags using
Drawer string bags for last years Christmas treats
approx 4 in across, 3.5 in high,3/4 in deep
The pattern is The Tinkalong Pouch Sewing Pattern the pattern is for the 2 larger pouches, to get to the tiny one she suggests taking the smaller of the two patterns down to 65%, it works like a charm.
And this year while the group is busy sewing together our Christmas quilts I am using the scraps to make "in the hoop" zip pouches totally from the scraps from the mini's including the batting.. I did hit a couple of bumps in the road. I made the first couple with no issues,
then I apparently got cocky and ended up with a pouch that has the batting on the outside.
Did a couple more and made one where I forgot to open the zipper before stitching and had to do a bunch of ripping of embroidered stitches to free it up and fix. Hind sight says it would have been quicker to toss it and start over.
Then I thought I'd try stabilizer that was sticky and put it in the hoop upside down and broke a needle into 3 pieces and now need to replace this piece that has all the needle holes in it because it stuck to the bottom of the hoop and I tried to sew through it.
All in all a learning experience but so worth it to be able to thank these great volunteers. So far I have 30 done of the 50 I need by the first week in Dec.
Now for having the patience to read all of this I am offering a chance to win a couple of these pouches. I will pick a winner on Sunday, November 17 from those of you who took the time to leave a comment. In the comment let me know if you want a holiday themed or if you have a favorite color group for me to sew from.
Again thanks to Carla for another fun idea for us to run with. Here is a list of all or the participants in this hop. You will be so happy that you took the time to stop by and visit each and every one. Til next time.

The Nuggets were largely considered to be underachievers during the bulk of George Karl's nine years as the team's head coach.
But would you consider those teams to have been "soft?"
It's a nebulous term at best, but Denver's new head coach, Brian Shaw, wants to make sure it no longer applies. He's trying to impress a defensive-minded toughness upon his guys in the early stages of training camp.
From Mark Kiszla of the Denver Post:
The Nuggets have a new way to play.
"Smashmouth basketball," new Denver coach Brian Shaw said.
I asked Shaw to define his terms. What qualifies as smashmouth basketball?
"Smashmouth means that you are literally going to get your mouth smashed if you're going against us for a rebound or a loose ball," Shaw said. "We want to have a nasty disposition, both offensively and defensively."
"The style of play … is going to be a little different than what it has been around here for the past few years," Shaw said. "We do still want to take advantage of getting up and down the floor and take advantage of the climate and the altitude. But, with that being said, the teams I've been associated both as a player and as a coach have had success establishing a presence inside, executing in half court and having a defensive identity, as well as being a good rebounding team."
What's interesting here is that Denver wasn't bad defensively last season. The team finished 11th in the league in defensive efficiency (points allowed per 100 possessions), while finishing fifth in the league in offense and playing at the second fastest pace. The Nuggets also finished fourth in the league in rebounding rate, without smashing anyone in the mouth that I can recall.
Most head coaches would love to get their players to buy in to bringing an all-out assault to the defensive end of the floor on a nightly basis. But it takes a certain mindset from the individuals on the team to be able to bring that intensity, and it's unclear if the personnel is in place on the Nuggets roster to give Shaw exactly what he's looking for in his first season patrolling the sidelines.
But the good news is, the team's defending and rebounding is already statistically well above average.

VISSER The "level of reference" of environmental and social relationships "is the ground" (p. 97). This observation on theMalay people is almost equally indicative of the analysis of the author herself, who gives an elaborate description of agricultural and social processes as conceived by the people of Ganchong. In doing so,Ms. Massard shows herself to be a true follower of George Condominas and his concept of social space. The Malay village (mukim) is the smallest administrative unit. The in the State of Pahang, on t; he eastern coast of the mukim of Ganchong, consists of five kampong, one of which isKiambang. Peninsula, Malay The kampong constitutes the social space of the people, which is evident from a high endogamy rate, the exchange of goods and services, and the access to land. The people of Ganchong grow rice, both on irrigated and non-irri they are dependent gated fields, for home consumption. Economically on their rubber plantations. Rubber tapping, which has given rise to a market-oriented type of agriculture, isof little cultural significance. This is due to the fact that it only has economic value, as opposed to rice cultivation. The work has to be done in an upright position and is associated with dirt and dust. Rubber does not have any ceremonial significance, nor is it used in the village. Tapping also has a low social status because no earth spirits are involved. Rice, on the other hand, is most valued for its social and ceremonial importance, apart from being the staple food. Rice cultivation concerns the relationship between the social and the environmental world, as the metaphor "mother" (ibu for the rice plant indicates. To the student of padi) or "child" (anakpadi) Indonesian societies this is all very familiar. the circulation of food and services iswell documented in Although Massard's book, the same cannot be said for the circulation of people, e.g. in marriage. The description of this on the whole remains too general; but a few remarks can nevertheless be mad?. For instance, according to the author theMalay groom is represented by a group of patrilateral relatives, who are met at the bride's house by a group of relatives (p. 391). One wonders, however, whether her matrilateral not does in fact constitute another example of the kind Ganchong of social exchange we encounter on the eastern Indonesian island of Halmahera1. Here, theT?belo bride and groom are both represented by their patrilateral and theirmatrilateral relatives, who, when represent ing the groom, are classified as being "from themale side", as opposed to those "from the female side" as the bride's bilateral relatives represent ing her. The Malay groom is also met by the bride's party at the door with pantun, just like his Indonesian confr?re. It does not surprise us that De Josselin de Jong, in his preface, the structural elements of thisMalay society with examples compares This content downloaded from 126.96.36.199 on Sat, 28 Jun 2014 12:29:12 PM All use subject to JSTOR Terms and Conditions 373 Boekbesprekingen from other societies within the Indonesian field of anthropological detailed analysis shows us that it is study. In this respect, Ms. Massard's not so much the spectacular as thewealth of ordinary details that isworth dealing with. An attempt at comparison of so-called cognatic structures within the Indonesian field also reveals that a much more refined ana lysis is needed inorder to discover common structural characteristics and their transformations. The style of the book is lucid, and every student who is interested in the interrelationships between society and environment in Southeast Asia should be persuaded to read it,and perhaps brush up his French in the process. in the Context of the Field of Eastern Halmahera 'The T?belo Platenkamp, of Anthropological Study', in: P.

After the First World War, younger anthropologists working in this tradition were much less ambitious and carried out intensive studies of a more restricted scope. Baumann, one of the best-known representatives the comparatively modest aim of of this generation, even believed a culture of Africa thatwas based on half a dozen history reconstructing Kulturkreise to be impossible to achieve, given the state of our know ledge.

Ugly – Natalia
Ugly – Natalia
Cape Townian girl, Natalia first appeared on the scene in the early '00s. She fronted Janie Jones (who took their name from a song by The Clash about a singer who also became known as a madame in London) and had a hit on the SA Rock Digest Charts with the punky 'Go F*ck Youself'. Her solo material is not quite as punk orientated as that of Janie Jones, but there is still an edge and attitude to her material.
'Ugly' vacillates between beautiful, almost classical, guitar refrains and hard hitting choruses. Natalia's voice also has a duality to it. At times she sounds like a vulnerable girl, but can inject her vocals with a venom that says don't mess with me. The song also made the SA Rock Digest Charts getting to number 3 and spent 13 weeks on the chart.

'Trial & Error' Stunt Double Turns John Lithgow Into an 8-Wheeled Roller-Skating Demon
One of the many quirks of Trial & Error's Larry Henderson (John Lithgow) is an enthusiasm for something called "rollercizing." The eccentric poet accused of murdering his wife on the NBC comedy (Tuesdays, 9/8c) may be devoted to this oddball fitness regime, but Lithgow never actually donned skates on set. That task fell to stunt double Arthur Davis, who explains how he got the gig.
How did you get started as a stunt double? Actually, this is my very first stunt double job. I'm an acrobatic gymnast. I toured with Cirque du Soleil for many years. I've been doing more physical acting. So, when I got this call asking, "Can you roller-skate?" I said, "Yeah, I love to roller-skate!"
John Lithgow on His Roller-Skating (and Possibly Murderous) Poet in the Comedy 'Trial & Error'
Do a lot of acrobats do stunt work for film and TV? A lot of stunt doubles have a background in gymnastics, so that's the fundamental basis of it. I don't know any from my specific discipline, which is working with other people, throwing them around and balancing them and whatnot. But most stunt doubles are either gymnasts, dancers or cheerleaders. It's definitely uncommon for somebody as tall as me! [Davis is almost 6'5″.]
Did you spend much time with John Lithgow? I was able to spend a good amount of time with him, which was such a treat. He was a good sport. He [had] such a good sense of humor. We had to put him in this trolley situation to mimic the roller-skating [for close-ups] and he loved it. He's like, "Put me in there! Let's do it again!"
Have you been asked to roller-skate for other things since? I wouldn't mind doing it again. I had a great time. I just realized, "Oh my gosh, I'm actually kind of good at this."

The Winning Side
The direct attacks on Christianity are getting bolder and more frequent. "Hate speech" laws in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Europe are so broadly applied they are being used against Christians for speaking about moral issues that once shaped Christendom. College campuses have applied an even broader view interpretation to the extent that free speech is now selectively allowed against any Christian or Biblical idea, but not in its favor.
Such attacks on Christianity in the media are often made around Christmas and Easter. Just look at the magazines at the grocery store checkout this Easter season, or the featured articles on your smartphone's news apps. They use Christian "holy seasons" as opportunities to inject doubts as to the accuracy of Biblical accounts or to suggest new discoveries have revealed the "real" gospel or the "historic" Jesus. The not-so-hidden message is that Christianity cannot be the basis for any social norms or action because it is based on fraud.
When Paul preached on Mars Hill, he went to the core of their unbelief. He presented a sovereign God and Jesus Christ as His Messiah Who would one day judge them. This is still our message, but how do we present it to a world which holds God and His Christ in such contempt?
The short answer to that is "faithfully." God demands faithfulness of us, not results. He turns the heart of men to Himself in various ways. Some of those work corporately in terms of judgments, humblings, and crises. That is, the failures of modern man may provide our best opportunities to reach men. Everywhere we see the failures of statism, humanistic education, and the corruption of art, politics, money, and more.
In the midst of their own failure, secular humanists will strike out at Christianity because they are hateful of its implications. This is the vehemence toward Christianity that we are now witnessing. The forces of humanism feel threatened and are reacting viciously. However, the victory, we must remember, shall be ours because it has already been accomplished in Jesus Christ. Let the suicide of the traitor Judas be our warning. If we know we are on the winning side of time and eternity, being faithful to our King is our only hope. Because God's grace found us, we can only find ourselves in Him.
The answer to humanism and its statism is Christian faith and liberty. The Chalcedon Foundation is leading in this great mission of Christian education, and we need your support. Click now to donate.

HealthDay News — A new approach to drug cycling may help healthcare providers select against the development of antimicrobial resistance, findings from a proof of concept study suggest.
Dubbed collateral sensitivity cycling, this method of antibiotic stewardship consisting of tailoring cycles of three-to-four carefully-selected drugs that are switched out based on the ability of one drug to induce sensitivity to another. This differs from current drug cycling methods that rely on restricting certain drugs on an ad hoc basis to reduce resistance.
"Here, we propose a fundamentally different approach to drug cycling that builds on the finding that the development of resistance to one drug can perturb drug susceptibility profiles in the bacterial cell," Lejla Imamovic, PhD, and Morten O.A. Sommer, PhD, from the Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby reported in Science Translational Medicine.
Continue Reading
Imamovic and Sommer evolved parallel lineages of Escherichia coli that were resistant to 23 clinically relevant antibiotics from 11 chemical classes and mechanisms of action. The researchers found that E. coli strains that were resistant to one antibiotic became sensitive to another antibiotic in a phenomenon they call "collateral sensitivity."
Antibiotics with compatible "collateral sensitivity" profiles were used to sequentially and cyclically to treat E. coli infection and to select against the development of drug resistance.
"For example, when a strain develops resistance to gentamicin, several drugs can be chosen to which gentamicin-resistant strains will be collaterally sensitive (for example, colistin, nalidixic acid, or cefuroxime)," the researchers explained. "Again, when resistance evolves to the next drug (for example, colistin), the treatment can be switched to the next possible option to which the colistin-resistant strain will be collaterally sensitive and so on."
In all, Imamovic and Sommer identified 207 possible two-to-four drug cycles within the E. coli collateral sensitivity network. They then validated their findings in related bacterial pathogens.
"These results provide proof of principle for collateral sensitivity cycling as a sustainable treatment paradigm that may be generally applicable to infectious diseases and cancer," the researchers concluded.
They called for more research to explore the effectiveness of collateral sensitivity cycling, particularly for Gram-negative bacterial infections and chronic infections in which multiple pathogens are involved, and clinical studies to confirm whether the concept holds up in hospital settings.

Who are we?
We are meetthelocals.nl. We represent the neighbourhood (Oostelijk Havengebied) on campus. You can find us in a portacabin near the entrance of the campus.
What do we do, at FabCity Campus?
Our portacabin is the missing link between FabCity Campus and the neighbourhood. We are open to all kinds of initiatives from the 'hood' and its residents. We want to match, inform, entertain and stimulate demand and supply. You can look at it as the Campus tourist office, complete with suggestion box. Our portacabin, named de Keet, has already become the smallest theater in the Netherlands, with room for nine people in our 'main hall'. We organise performances and talkshows, hearings and lectures; we make a podcast and a weekly news update. We want the MTL portacabin to be the hangout for the neighbourhood and the campus' constructors. It's a perfect meeting place.
Why did we come to FabCity Campus?
We think neighbours should be part of FabCity. The word 'local' seems to be on everyone's lips these days. We ARE local. A campus without the neighbourhood is not a campus at all. And a neighbourhood without our Keet, is not a neighbourhood.
What are our goals?
We hope to instigate and document as many meetings and matches as possible. We want to make sure the neighbourhood will come out of this event stronger than before, both digitally and socially. We promote our brand new community site http://buurtbalie-ohg.nl/
And we are open to all kinds of initiatives from the neighbours. We will start on March 20th at noon, with performances and podcast talkshows. And we will have a traditional bonfire at 4 pm – bring your own wood!
Who will you meet?
We come with many, for the many. We will exploit the power of a small stage to its fullest at FabCity Campus. And maybe even after the campus is gone. We receive and transmit and create an archive of local stories, for now and the future.

When Phurba Tamang was a young man living in a refugee camp in Nepal, he met a girl named Nar Maya. The two fell in love, but they were forbidden to marry because they were from different castes or social classes. Phurba and Nar Maya chose to elope and were subsequently shunned by their families.
To support his new wife, Phurba did road construction in India, while Nar Maya remained in the camp in Nepal. One of the men Phurba met in India was a Christian. He invited Phurba to church many times. Eventually, Phurba gave in.
Because his parents had ostracized him and Nar Maya, Phurba loved the idea of being welcomed into God's family. When he returned to Nepal, excited to tell his wife about his new faith, he discovered she had also started attending church while he was away. They rejoiced in their simultaneous surrender to Christ. Soon their families came to know the Lord as well.
Answered Prayers
Phurba was an associate pastor at their church in Nepal, until 2007, when 80,000 refugees, including Phurba and Nar Maya, were relocated to the United States. These people were of Nepali decent and lived in Bhutan for many generations before they were driven back into Nepal because of Bhutan's push for ethnic purity.
Mark and Lori Kiser, founders of a Nepalese ministry in Omaha, Nebraska, met many of the refugees at the airport when they arrived and took them to their new apartments to unpack and get settled.
In doing so, the Kisers found that some of these immigrants were Christians and invited them to attend Christ Community Church (CCC). However, the language barrier made it difficult for the refugees to engage in the service.
Soon Mark met Phurba and learned of his history as a pastor. The two made arrangements to start a Nepalese-speaking church in Omaha—Bhutanese-Nepali New Life Church. CCC leaders provided financial donations to the new fellowship and counseled them on how to plant a church.
"I mentioned to Pastor Phurba that my wife and I had been praying for a Nepali-speaking fellowship for years," Mark writes. "Since then, he has believed their church was God's answer to our prayers."
A Loving Church
Approximately 200 people attend Bhutanese-Nepali New Life Church. Many of them were Hindu or Buddhist when they first started coming and have since become active members of the church. Now, two-thirds of the congregants are refugees who became Christians after arriving in the United States.
Pastor Phurba and Nar Maya go above and beyond for the refugees, especially those who are new to the area. The two assist with shopping for groceries, getting driver's licenses, finding jobs, and many other processes to ease their transition into the new culture.
"Phurba and Nar Maya's example has motivated others in the church to do the same," Mark observes. "Even those who don't attend the church know it is a place where the people love and help each other."

TRAINER X: The fitness community
There's no getting around it; fitness is for everyone. It's everywhere around you. The world is constantly being reborn, living, thriving, slowing down and being reborn once more every day in every way.
We ran the last run for charity and you can't give enough. There's a area roadrace for a beloved high school principal taken too soon by serious illness, and this was the last year. I had the pleasure of helping my coworker and good friend Diane start and finish her very first 10-miler, the Larry Robinson 10 Miler in Andover. Stricken by some injuries throughout and even up to race day, Diane finished a race that had her shoulder to shoulder with some great runners and she definitely was aces across the board. She may have only had me and her sister cheering her on but sometimes that's all you really need.
Forget about Trainer X -- being Daddy X is way cooler. I finished my weekend playing in the parents versus kids soccer game against my daughters, 11-year-old Taylor Rose and her 6-year-old sister, Emily Hope. Nothing says community like getting together with a bunch of other parents to have your kids whip your butts in a pick-up game while the sun goes down. Any way you look at it, coming off the sidelines and getting out there with your future Olympians is a memory they won't forget and a great way for you to get your heart pumping in more ways than one.
There are many ways to be fit and work within your community; I hope you all find one of your own. Have a great week, gang!

text: can be an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite whose rapid lytic replication cycles define its pathogenicity. decade ago (Lin which lacks the Rel pathway, we performed genome-wide expression profiling on the arrested mutant. This revealed a G1 expression profile in the arrested mutant along with many genes associated with the extracellular state as well as the bradyzoite tissue cyst stage. These data suggest a role for TgCactin in the control of gene expression at various points in parasite development. Notably, the G1, extracellular, and bradyzoite IGFIR gene expression profiles were consistent with the improved expression degrees of different Apetala2 (AP2) transcription elements connected with these phases. We further proven that TgCactin exists inside a complex and may oligomerize. Taken collectively, these total results show that TgCactin is necessary for both G1 progression and state/stage transitions. This is shown in the AP2 transcription element expression pattern. Outcomes Temperature delicate mutant FV-P6 arrests in the center of G1 SB-262470 Temperature delicate mutant FV-P6 was determined inside a large-scale display for tachyzoite development mutants (Gubbels et al., 2008a). In the restrictive temp of 40C mutant FV-P6 shows an arrest in G1, that was described by DNA content material evaluation. To characterize this defect in additional detail we 1st examined the G1 arrest with cell natural markers for both centrosome and inner girl budding (-Centrin and -IMC3 antibodies, respectively). Using these markers three, different populations could be discerned in crazy type parasites: 1 centrosome no girl buds (1C0B), 2 centrosomes no girl buds (2C0B), and 2 centrosomes with 2 girl buds (2C2B) (Fig. 1A). The centrosomes duplicate past due in G1 prior to the onset of S-phase whereas IMC3 including girl buds begin developing in the onset of mitosis when DNA replication is approximately 90% full (1.8N) (Anderson-White allele within FV-P6 struggles to go with the phenotype. Upon FV-P6 transfection SB-262470 from the PCR SB-262470 amplified allele from crazy SB-262470 type genomic DNA plaques perform type at 40C (Fig. S2A, best panel). On the other hand, no plaques type upon transfection from the allele PCR amplified from FV-P6 genomic DNA (Fig. S2A, bottom level panel). Furthermore we evaluated phenotype repair using the Centrin/IMC3 assay as referred to in Shape 1A. Applying this assay, we were not able to identify any factor between crazy type parasites and FV-P6 parasites complemented using the wild-type amplicon cultivated at either 35C or 40C (Fig. S2B). Consequently, a mutation in the gene should be the singular reason behind the G1 arrest. Cactin can be a conserved proteins localizing towards the nucleus We established the nature from the Cactin mutation by sequencing the wild-type allele as well as the FV-P6 allele. An individual T to C stage mutation leading to an amino acidity differ from tyrosine to histidine (Y661H) was recognized ((Gubbels et al., 2008a) and Fig. 2A). This residue can be within the C-terminus and data source searches determined this site as highly conserved across Cactin orthologs in additional eukaryotes (Fig. 2A,B). Phylogenetic evaluation from the gene shows that it's ancient towards the eukaryotic lineage, since it generally follows the accepted relationship patterns across the eukaryotes (Fig. 2C). Although Cactin was identified in over a decade ago (Lin the role of Cactin is not understood. Figure 2 Cactin is conserved across eukaryotes, localizes to the nucleus, and the mutation results in a tyrosine to histidine change in the conserved C-terminal domain Further sequence analysis identified a nuclear localization signal (NLS) at the N-terminus (amino acids 3C7: KKRRK) as well as an internal Robbins and Dingwall NLS (Robbins allele of TgCactin also localized.

Since I began my column with Tire Review back in 2010, I've been fortunate enough to attend a lot of automotive industry events. I've been present at and, more often than not, also a presenter at everything from tire and automotive state associations to the large tire manufacturer annual conferences..
Of all those events, the Specialty Equipment Manufacturers Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas is right at the top for me. For any true auto enthusiast like yours truly, the SEMA Show is a true kid-in-a-candy-store affair. I just can't get enough of all the cool custom cars and trucks and all the specialty equipment that the aftermarket offers to support and/or enhance anything with wheels and a motor.
Although SEMA is not open to the public, every year it attracts an absolutely huge crowd of automotive industry insiders. While at the show this November, I did something I had not done in the past. I sat down (rare at the show) and thought about what was really going on there, behind and between all the drama and commotion, as it relates to your business sales, customer service, and success in general.
While my findings apply to the typical trade show you're likely to attend, they were certainly magnified at SEMA.
My Top 4 Sales Lessons from the 2016 SEMA Show
1. Always Be Learning
There's no sense attending any trade show if you're not interested in learning something new and, in fact, many tire business owners I spoke with at SEMA attended for the primary purpose of finding equipment, technology and/or knowledge to make their business more successful.
The reality is you can't learn anything if you already know everything. Know-it-all types aren't particularly interested in moving forward and growing, contending that if they don't know it by now then they never will. Obviously this is not the most favorable attitude when attending any trade show or when it comes to learning anything. High-achievers maintain an open mind and proactively seek out new learning opportunities and ideas that can help them further their skill set and performance.
Since your business is only as strong as the people that support it, there's a direct correlation between the success of the business and whether or not your employees are striving to learn and grow. While conceptually that makes sense to most business owners, the sad reality is most tire businesses are so busy managing daily activity they simply do not devote the required time to learn anything more than what is absolutely necessary to maintain operations. This results in employees who learn just enough to meet their job descriptions and, ultimately, fall short of achieving excellence. An "Always Be Learning" culture provides a competitive advantage and is a main driver that elevates truly great businesses above and beyond all those average organizations that settle for the status-quo. As the leader of your organization, it is your job to create and cultivate this.
2. Prepare In Advance
It's safe to say that every exhibitor's primary objective while attending SEMA is to sell more products. It's also safe to say that selling more of your products and services is a primary objective of your tire business.
Walking the 22 or so miles around the Las Vegas Convention Center during my three days at SEMA, I met two types of attendees: those who had properly prepared, and those who did not prepare much at all.
Those who properly prepared had made appointments with potential customers to meet with them in advance. They were proactive and productive. Those who did not prepare typically hung out at their booth hoping potential customers would visit them. They were reactive and relatively unproductive with their time.
It can be similar to your tire business. You meet a lot of strangers. I agree with Will Rogers who said, "A stranger is just a friend I haven't met yet." To be successful, you must turn these strangers into friends. In business terms, that means connecting with potential customers and turning these prospects into business.
As businesses typically pay many thousands of dollars to exhibit at SEMA, they risk a lot if they are not successful accomplishing this. Observing many exhibitors staffs, it was clear that either that message was not communicated effectively, committed to properly, or both. People were not properly prepared to manage the interaction and, ultimately, secure a relationship when the opportunity presented itself.
In my training and consulting work with dozens of multi-location tire businesses, I can confirm that this same situation exists in the vast majority of cases. The business spends a substantial sum on advertising and marketing to get the phone to ring and increase store visits, but doesn't have a real sales process in place, consequently squandering those opportunities as they occur.
Just like a professional sports team, the time to practice and prepare for the game is not at the game. Is your team proactively preparing to win before potential customers phone or visit the store? Or, are they reactive and "winging it" with those precious sales opportunities?
3. Stand Out From The Crowd
One of the biggest challenges for businesses participating in trade shows is standing out from the crowd and differentiating their business from the other exhibitors. With so many local competitors, this is also one of the biggest challenges tire dealers and automotive service providers face.
At the SEMA Show, it seemed like every exhibitor has an exotic vehicle and/or models to make their booth stand out and to attract visitors. But in contrast, most tire/auto service businesses don't do very well standing out in their local markets.
As I wrote about in my September 2016 article "How To Fail," being unremarkable is hurting your business. When your business blends in, it creates indifference with the consumer and engagement with your brand declines dramatically. Conversely, just like at trade shows, when your business stands out in a positive manner, customer engagement with your brand improves considerably.
Of course, this doesn't mean you should park a Lamborghini out front or hire showgirls to parade around your shop. Just know that customers make value judgments of your business based on their senses – so everything they can see, feel and hear will positively or negatively impact their engagement with your brand.
Just like a high quality trade show experience, you not only want to make a great first impression that engages your audience, but also a lasting impression that customers remember once the interaction is complete.
4. None of It Matters Without Customers
The amount of displays and products at the SEMA Show is truly mind-boggling. It's quite the sight to behold, but none of it matters without customers. The same is true of your tire business. You can have the best facility, equipment and products but none of it matters without people to serve.
Taking that a step further, your business' success actually depends on two types of customers: internal and external. Your internal customers are your team members. As I wrote in my April 2016 article "Winning Customer Service," world-class service organizations require world-class employees – so to best position your business to succeed at the highest level, you must first hire people that fit your "world-class" model.
Your external customers are the people that call on and visit your business for their tire and vehicle service needs. Similar to the situation with "Always Be Learning," most tire business employees are so busy trying to manage daily activity they lose sight of where all that business comes from – customers. When that customer focus is lacking or poor, customers end up feeling like just another transaction, a number. While you may still get the customers business today (usually based on price), there is no emotional engagement that creates a lasting relationship and loyalty to your brand.
Be it on the show floor or in your shop's showroom, remember that everything begins and ends with your internal and external customers.

MOSCOW, December 15 (RIA Novosti) – The World Bank cut its 2013 forecast for the Russian economy, saying weaker domestic demand and delayed investment recovery are threatening growth.
Russia's economy will expand by 1.3 percent this year, the World Bank said, down from the 1.8 percent it predicted in September. Growth for next year is projected at 2.2 percent, and at 2.7 percent for 2015.
Economy Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said in November he expected annual growth of 1.5 percent. This is the lowest level at any time during Vladimir Putin's tenures as president.
"The Bank expects that investment activities will slowly pick up, as the destocking cycle comes to an end and consumption growth will level out," said Birgit Hansl, World Bank Lead Economist for Russia.
Private investment activities in Russia are expected to cautiously resume during 2014, but at a slightly lower growth rate than originally projected, the World Bank said.
In his annual State of the Nation address, Putin said Russia's economic slowdown is mainly being driven by domestic causes rather than a spillover from a global downturn.

John E Lohr
John E. Lohr was born February 6, 1932 on a ranch near Kirtley, WY. He passed away on April 11, 2018 at the age of 86 at a care center in Ogalalla, NE. Per his request, cremation has taken place.
Memorial services will be held on Wednesday, April 18, 2018 at 11:00 am at the Niobrara County Fairgrounds Auditorium in Lusk, WY. Pastor Neal Hughes will officiate. Pier Funeral Home in Lusk is in charge of arrangements. Inurnment at the Lusk cemetery will follow the service.
John was the son of Harlan and Ruby Hanson Lohr. John had three brothers and four sisters, one of which was his twin. He ranched with his parents until he entered the United States Marines in 1951, where he served three years during the Korean War. John was married to Laural L. "Lolly" Hughes on July 10, 1958. Together they had three children, Glennis, Lorna and John Wayne.
John and Lolly spent much of their time together on the ranch, in the hay field or in the truck. Where you saw one, you generally saw the other. John spent several years with a crew that sheared sheep throughout the area. Through the years he enjoyed raising and shearing sheep, haying, ranching and trucking for himself and others. Every day was a work day for John, as he always had something that he had to get done.
In his later years, he worked as a mechanic repairing various tractors and other equipment for long time friends and neighbors.
He is survived by his daughter and son-in-law Lorna and Del Penlerick of Alliance, NE, his son and daughter-in-law John W. and Kathy Lohr of Arizona; 11 grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren; one sister; one brother; numerous nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of friends. He was preceded in death by his wife Lolly; daughter Glennis; son-in law Mick Watson; infant son; infant daughter; two brothers; three sisters and his parents.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials to the Niobrara County Senior Center, Niobrara County Fairgrounds or the donor's choice.
