The Beaulieu Encyclopedia of the Automobile by Nick Georgano ... is said to be "the most comprehensive book yet written about the world of automobiles and those who make and have made them. Fully illustrated with more than 4,500 illustrations of automobiles, important personalities and advertising materials, and authoritatively written by a team of experts from around the world, the resource covers more than 5,000 makes of automobiles from North America, Europe, and Asia - and also provides the first serious studies of major, but neglected, automobile producing countries ... It also includes some 160 biographies of prominent automobile developers." (black-and-white photographs and color photos)

Hurricane without end ... Jeanne now

from the NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER

HURRICANE JEANNE DISCUSSION NUMBER 52
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
11 AM EDT SUN SEP 26 2004

THE EYE CONTINUES TO MOVE WEST-NORTWESTWARD...290/9...OVER THE WEST-
CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA...AND IS NEARING THE TAMPA BAY AREA.
WSR-88D DOPPLER VELOCITIES FROM THE TAMPA RADAR INDICATE THAT THE
MAXIMUM SURFACE WINDS ARE NEAR 65 KT. ADDITIONAL WEAKENING IS
LIKELY DUE TO THE INTERACTION WITH LAND. THE CENTER WILL PROBABLY
MOVE JUST SLIGHTLY OFFSHORE OF THE FLORIDA UPPER WEST COAST THIS
EVENING...BUT NOT ENOUGH OVER THE WATER TO BRING ABOUT SIGNIFICANT
RE-STRENGTHENING.

THERE IS LITTLE CHANGE TO THE FORECAST TRACK OR PHILOSOPHY FROM THE
PREVIOUS ADVISORY. JEANNE IS APPROACHING THE WESTERN END OF A DEEP
LAYER HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM CENTERED JUST EAST OF NORTH CAROLINA. A
GRADUAL TURN TO THE NORTHWEST AND NORTH IS FORECAST OVER THE NEXT
DAY OR SO. THIS TRACK WOULD BRING THE CENTER OF A WEAKENING
TROPICAL CYCLONE ACROSS THE SOUTHEASTERN UNITED STATES...EXITING
THE MID-ATLANTIC COAST IN 2-3 DAYS...AND ACCELERATING IN THE
WESTERLIES THEREAFTER. JEANNE SHOULD LOSE TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS
BY LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. THIS OFFICIAL FORECAST IS CLOSE TO
THE GUNA CONSENSUS...ALTHOUGH THE GFS IS CONSIDERABLY FASTER THAN
THE OTHER GUIDANCE MODELS

....

is there an end in sight?

biomedcentral has an interesting story -Drosophila Hmx gene directs development of mouse inner ear, an organ flies don't possess -- according to this fascinating discovery, " ... genetic mutation was not necessarily the primary evolutionary force producing morphological change in mammals ... Drosophilia Hmx gene partially rescued the development of the mouse inner ear, revealing that the gene could direct the development of an organ it does not even possess. ... Thomas Lufkin, of the Genome Institute of Singapore states "But, an equal possibility is that, instead of the gene sequence mutating, the same gene can acquire new expression domains".

Sociology On Culture by John R. Hall, Mary Jo Neitz, and Marshall Battani is getting A LOT of attention ...

from the blurbs: John R. Hall is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Davis. He is the author of numerous books, including Apocalypse Observed (Routledge) and Cultures of Inquiry. Mary Jo Neitz is Professor of Sociology at the University of Missouri-Columbia and has written widely on issues of gender, religion and culture. Marshall Battani is Assistant Professor of Sociology at Grand Valley State University. The Synopis suggests 'Culture has become a touchstone of interdisciplinary conversation. For readers interested in sociology, the social sciences, and the humanities, this book maps major classical and contemporary analyses and controversies about culture in relation to social processes, everyday life, and axes of ordering and difference such as race, class and gender. Hall, Neitz, and Battani discuss: self and identity; stratification; the Other; the cultural histories of modernity and postmodernity; culture and power; production of culture; the problem of the audience; and action, social movements, and change.' .... Finally, ' Because the sociology of culture has grown so much and cultural studies have proliferated so widely over the past quarter-century, there has been no easy way to obtain an informed introduction to the myriad issues at stake. Now, Sociology on Culture offers a wide-ranging and probing overview of sociological approaches to culture, their major arguments, and their findings. The book's discussions -- of topics ranging from medieval theater to the Internet, across a variety of societies -- are informed by approaches from interpretive sociology and symbolic interactionism, to the Frankfurt school and Foucault'

sounds interesting ...

Dictionaries from zero to infinity and then, Jazz ... that seems a bit different but its true... there really are all kinds of unusual topics like Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Musicians by Theodore Baker [of which description leads states "The splendid Biographical Dictionary of Musicians was begun in 1900 by Theodore Baker. Nicolas Slonimsky undertook the fifth through eighth editions, infusing them with inimitable, irrepressible Slonimsky style. This edition contains more than 3.5 million words, all of them delightful, all penned by Slonimsky, making it one of the world's known treasures. From Aaltonen, Erkki (Finnish composer, born 1910) to Zylis-Gara, Teresa (Polish soprano, born 1935), the work exudes factual accuracy, critical (and opinionated) insights, fine humor, and a human touch. Though associated with classical music, Slonimsky has always embraced the new, and in this edition, hundreds of popular musicians (jazz, rock, blues, and more) join the traditional ranks"] or they hyper priced Acronyms Initialisms & Abbreviations Dictionary ... which clearly suggests that one really ought to consider Jazz. (see the C: All Music Guide to Jazz: The Experts' Guide to the Best Jazz Recordings)


Hurricane Ivan is badder ... HURRICANE IVAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 50 states

THIS MORNING'S WEAKENING TREND HAS CEASED AND THE OUTER EYEWALL OF
IVAN IS BECOMING BETTER DEFINED. A NOAA RESEARCH AIRCRAFT REPORTED
A CENTRAL PRESSURE OF 929 MB ALONG WITH SURFACE WINDS OF 115-120 KT
FROM THE STEPPED FREQUENCY MICROWAVE RADIOMETER. THE INITIAL
INTENSITY WILL BE HELD AT 120 KT. SATELLITE IMAGERY SHOWS THAT
CIRRUS IS BEGINNING TO EXPAND IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT. IVAN IS
STILL EXPECTED TO PASS OVER A WARM GULF EDDY IN ABOUT 12 TO 24
HOURS...WHICH COULD HELP IVAN TO REGAIN A LITTLE STRENGTH BEFORE
ENCOUNTERING SLIGHTLY COOLER WATERS AND INCREASING SHEAR JUST
BEFORE LANDFALL. ALTHOUGH THE PRECISE LANDFALL INTENSITY CANNOT BE
CONFIDENTLY FORECAST...IVAN IS EXPECTED TO BE A MAJOR HURRICANE AT
LANDFALL.

THE INITIAL MOTION IS 335/8...SLIGHTLY TO THE RIGHT OF THE PREVIOUS
MOTION...AND THE SHORT TERM MOTION IS ALMOST NORTHWARD. IVAN IS
MOVING AROUND THE PERIPHERY OF THE ATLANTIC SUBTROPICAL RIDGE.
THERE HAS BEEN NO SIGNIFICANT CHANGE MADE TO THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST...WHICH IS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TIGHTLY CLUSTERED GROUPING
OF THE GFS...GFDL...NOGAPS...AND UKMET MODELS. THE ECMWF REMAINS AN
OUTLIER WITH A TRACK ABOUT 100 MILES WEST OF THE CONSENSUS.

THERE IS CONSIDERABLE SPREAD IN THE MODEL FORECASTS AFTER
LANDFALL...AND IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE REMNANTS OF IVAN WILL MOVE
VERY SLOWLY OR STALL NEAR OR OVER THE APPALACHIANS IN 4 OR 5
DAYS...WHICH WOULD PRODUCE A VERY SERIOUS FLOODING EVENT.

best wishes to interests in the Ivan Projected Path (and Actual Path) for safe journey through this trying period. Hurricane Alley has intersting displays regarding H.Ivan

Beware of Ivan the Terrible ... Actually, Beware of Hurricane Ivan. According to the Hurricane Center's HURRICANE IVAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 22

"WTNT44 KNHC 072047
TCDAT4
HURRICANE IVAN DISCUSSION NUMBER 22
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
5 PM EDT TUE SEP 07 2004

AN AIR FORCE RECONNAISSANCE PLANE JUST MEASURED A PRESSURE OF 956 MB
WITH A DROP AND 955 MB EXTRAPOLATED FROM 700 MB. IT ALSO MEASURED
118 KNOTS AT FLIGHT LEVEL AND A CLOSED EYEWALL OF 14 NMI DIAMETER.
T-NUMBERS REMAIN AT 5.5 ON THE DVORAK SCALE. INITIAL INTENSITY IS
105 KNOTS. SHIPS MODEL INDICATE THAT THE SHEAR WILL REMAIN LOW OVER
THE CENTRAL AND WESTERN CARIBBEAN. GLOBAL MODELS APPEAR TO SHOW A
FAVORABLE UPPER-LEVEL ENVIRONMENT FOR STRENGTHENING. IN
ADDITION...IVAN IS EXPECTED TO REACH THE WESTERN CARIBBEAN SEA
WHERE THERE IS AN AREA OF HIGH OCEAN HEAT CONTENT...HIGH OCTANE GAS
FOR HURRICANES...WHICH COULD ADD TO THE INTENSIFICATION. IVAN
COULD BECOME STRONGER THAN FORECAST. INDICATIONS ARE THAT THERE
WILL BE A VERY DANGEROUS HURRICANE OVER THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN
SEA...WESTERN CUBA OR SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF MEXICO IN FIVE DAYS.

THERE HAS BEEN NO CHANGE IN THE STEERING AND IVAN IS STILL MOVING
TOWARD THE WEST OR 280 DEGREES AT 16 KNOTS. THIS GENERAL MOTION IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT 3 DAYS. THEREAFTER...THE FORECAST
BECOMES UNCERTAIN. GLOBAL MODELS CONTINUE TO DEVELOP A TROUGH OVER
THE CENTRAL UNITED STATES AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. THIS TROUGH IS
FORECAST TO ERODE THE RIDGE LEAVING A LARGE AREA OF WEAK STEERING
CURRENTS IN THE NORTHWESTERN CARIBBEAN AND SOUTHEASTERN GULF OF
MEXICO. BY THEN...THE HURRICANE COULD MOVE NORTH OVER WESTERN CUBA
AND SOUTH FLORIDA AS INDICATED BY THE GFS...THE UK AND NOGAPS...OR
CONTINUE ON A SLOW WEST-NORTHWEST TRACK AS INDICATED BY THE GFDL
AND THE FSU SUPERENSEMBLE. THE LATTER ASSUMES THAT THE TROUGH IN
THE GULF OF MEXICO WILL NOT BE STRONG ENOUGH TO STEER THE HURRICANE
NORTHWARD...AND THAT THERE WILL BE ENOUGH RIDGING TO STEER THE
HURRICANE TOWARD WESTERN CUBA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO. THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST IS IN AGREEMENT WITH THE LATTER OPTION BIASED TOWARD THE
CONSENSUS.

The Stowers Institute for Medical Research is one of a new kind of research centers ... leading the way to a better future ... from its description it " .... aspires to be one of the most innovative biomedical research organizations in the world. The Institute conducts basic research on genes and proteins that control fundamental processes in living cells to unlock the mysteries of disease and find the keys to their causes, treatment, and prevention. It was founded by Jim and Virginia Stowers, two cancer survivors who decided to dedicate their fortune to supporting the basic research that will provide long-term solutions to gene-based diseases". We'll be tracking stories of their progress like What's happening in Li's Lab. We wish them tremendous success! Thank you Jim and Virginia Stowers!

What's happening in Li's Lab? ... plenty it would appear ... like investigation of the roles of BMP signaling in the control of skin stem cell fate ... accoprding to Li Lab write-up: "Multipotent stem cells located in the bulge region of the hair follicle (bulge stem cell or Bu-SCs) give rise to either epidermal progenitors (Ep-Ps) or hair matrix progenitors (HM-Ps), which in turn regenerate the epidermis and cycling hair follicles, respectively. The molecular mechanisms controlling the growth cycle and fate determination of Bu-SCs still remain largely unknown. Here we report that blocking the BMP signal by inactivation of the BMP type-IA receptor (Bmpr1a) leads to over production of HM-Ps, impaired differentiation, and the eventual formation of matricomas. In contrast, enforced expression of BMP4 in BMP4-transgenic mice results in over commitment of Ep-Ps, leading to epithelial hyperplasia and hyperkeratosis. We propose that BMP activity controls Bu-SC fate by antagonizing Wnt/ß-catenin." This looks like it may be of some promise ... and is worth tracking ...

Brutus: Vindiciae, contra tyrannos : or, Concerning the Legitimate Power of a Prince over the People, and of the People over a Prince (Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought) by Stephanius Jurius Brutus ... "written in response to French monarchy's slaughter of some 30,000 French Huguenots. As it best translates from Latin, it is a vindication of opposition to tyrants and a Biblical defense of the right of revolution or rebellion to a corrupt king/leader. If you want to understand the covenant origins of the American polity and the influence of Biblical, Puritanical or Calvinistic political thought on the American founders, than this book is worth a read."

from the Traffic accident investigation barn .... Accidently stumbled into a very interesting title: Traffic Accident Investigators' Lamp Analysis Manual by R. W. Rivers The Book Description reads: "This manual has been designed to help traffic accident investigators and reconstructionists meet the high standard of performance and expertise necessary to determine vehicle lamp status for “on” and “off” conditions at the time of a vehicle collision. Each chapter provides clear definitions of and statements about the topics it contains, with graduated commentary arranged so as to present a natural development and understanding of the chapter subject matter. A number of working hypotheses using examples and photographs are provided to assist the examining technician or analyst in the interpretation of items of evidence that might be presented. The text discusses examining the vehicle for exhibits, the precautions that must be taken in collecting and preserving evidence, lamp identification and analysis, hot and cold shock analysis, packaging and transferring exhibits to the forensic science laboratory, and the mistakes that are inherent in investigations and how to avoid them. In addition, the application of physics and vehicle behavior in relation to lamp damages is thoroughly discussed. The book has been written in a clear and concise style that is further enhanced by the liberal use of illustrations. It has been designed not only for use as a handy reference manual but also to be of assistance as a training manual for use in police training schools that include lamp examination as part of their curriculum. In addition, the text will be useful and practical for investigators, forensic technicians, attorneys, insurance investigators, and judges" -- Just never thought about this before, I guess there's a lot to learn from just about any 'point of light' ... shine on ...

Comprehensive Natural Products Chemistry : Amino-acids, Peptides, Porphyrins and Alkaloids by Derek Barton, Koji Nakanishi, Otto Meth-Cohn, J. W. Kelly, D.H.R. Barton, O. Meth-Cohn, J.W. Kelly ... "covers the exciting advances made in the chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology of amino acid, peptide and alkaloid biosynthesis. The fourteen chapters in this volume briefly introduce classical approaches to deciphering biosynthetic pathways, but largely focus on a synergistic approach, i.e. one applying both chemical and genetic methods to uncover the mysteries associated with the synthesis of some of the worlds most beautiful molecules. Two chapters review our current understanding of alkaloid biosynthesis, which provided much of the impetus for the growth of organic chemistry in the century. Two chapters are devoted to the biosynthesis of Heme prosthetic groups, which have attracted the attention of numerous chemists and biologists over the years. Five chapters focus on peptide and antibiotic biosynthesis, in keeping with the fantastic advances that have been made in understanding non-ribosomal peptide synthesis ...."
