Three Bishops from Tennessee recently wrote the Governor to seek mercy for the 63 death row inmates of the state. Tennessee's last execution took place in 2009. This letter comes amidst a civil trial over Tennessee's lethal-injection protocol. It also comes just weeks before the scheduled execution of Billy Ray Irick on August 9th.
We, the three bishops of Tennessee, congratulate you on your successful administration and thank you for your leadership as your term as Governor nears in end. We also thank you for the gracious and attentive reception that you have given to us and our predecessors over the last eight years. We appreciate the regular opportunities that we have had to dialogue on many important public policy issues.
In 2014, you may recall Bishops Stika, Choby, and Steib discussed with you their strong opposition to the state carrying out the death penalty. At that time, Bishop Stika shared with you the account of Pope John Paul II's (now Saint John Paul) role in commuting the death sentence of Missouri's Darrell Mease to life in prison during the papal visit to St. Louis in 1999. At that time, the pope called for the end to the death penalty as both cruel and unnecessary. He said that it is simply not necessary as the only means to protect society while still providing a just punishment for those who break civil laws. Rather than serving as a path to justice, the death penalty contributes to the growing disrespect for human life.
Following that meeting in 2014, we provided at your request, written documentation about the Catholic Church's position on capital punishment and the foundations on which that teaching is based. We welcome anyquestion that you might have about our teaching, as we join with many other religious denominations in firm opposition to the execution of even those convicted of heinous crimes.
We urge you to use your authority as governor to put an end to the fast-track executions planned for later this year. It is within your power to establish your legacy as a governor of Tennessee who did not preside over an execution on your watch.
Please know that you remain in our prayers as you complete your term in office and look forward to your future service to the people of Tennessee.

Seeing the sights of Sussex
A brief but intensive interlude last weekend, as Bill and Michelle (residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina and owners of Shilling) visited southern England for the first time. Shilling's out of the water for a survey and to have some work done, so Bill and Michelle decided to leave the Midlands behind for a part of the country they'd not seen before - and we were to be their guides.
We met them at Lewes station on Friday, and showed them to the Dorset Arms, where they were to stay (it all proved very satisfactory, I'm pleased to report). We stopped there for a couple of pints of Harveys, and then some lunch... a precedent which was to set the pattern for the next few days. Then we left them to have a rest and find their feet before returning to take them to the John Harvey Tavern for the evening. This is the Harveys brewery tap, and Old was the order of the evening. The place was very busy, and the food really no more than adequate. Prior to leaving the Dorset we introduced them to the parochial pleasures of Toad in the Hole.
Saturday was devoted to the seeking out of white cliffs - Sussex's, apparently, because they are unprotected and constantly crumbling, are far whiter than Dover's. We set off in the car to Birling Gap, but Jim decided that Bill and Michelle should see a selection of feudal Sussex villages en route. One of these was Firle, and as we entered its main street we saw a sign at which the years fell away: 'Jumble Sale 2 pm'. Well, bu now it was 2.30, and any self-respecting jumbler would have been and gone, but this was still too good an opportunity to miss, to show Michelle another Great British Tradition (waning). She was delighted to acquire a new teapot for Shilling (indeed, for a shilling, well, 5p) with a brace of plates and cups thrown in for another 20p. I meanwhile got a mirror, a rug, a toffee tin bearing an Amsterdam canal scene, a quantity of rag for rug making, and some books. Ah well, old habits die hard.
Then it was off again to Birling Gap, where the old Birling Gap hotel has been taken over by the National Trust. We oohed and aahed at the white cliffs for a bit, and at the gardens still disappearing into the sea, before retiring inside for a pint of Beachy Head ale from a local micro-brewery whose name eludes me. Then onwards and upwards, to Beachy Head itself, to the very summit this time, which is actually well away from the cliff edge. It was sunny but windy and I tested out my US military parka for the first time (it was pronounced the genuine article by Bill, and a snip at £30) and found it most gratifyingly protective. While Michelle and I braved the elements, Bill and Jim retired to the car with an ice cream. Boys, eh.
Next, back to Newhaven, to play host at our house with a traditional offering of home made scones with jam and cream, with tea in cups and saucers, followed by fish and chips and... oh, is that more beer?
Up bright and early on Sunday, and a trip to the Bluebell Railway at Sheffield Park. The first carriages we went in weren't all that old; though dating perhaps from the twenties they were still the stock I remember from my childhood; the worn upholstery so familiar, but the seats unexpectedly soft and springy. The lights (I'll post a picture another time as they're on the other camera) were, I'm sure, exactly like the ones I should have on Chertsey. For the return journey we went and sat in a newly restored 1951 carriage - the comfort of which puts modern trains to shame. At Horsted Keynes we stopped for a look around the beautifully nostalgic station, at the buffet, the enamel signs, and the other locos and carriages, some of which seemed to be being used for filming something.
Horsted Keynes (pronounced as in Maynard rather than Milton) used to be the end of the line when I was a child, but the railway now continues to Kingscote, where there is an ice cream kiosk, a field, and a second hand book stall where I bought a rather nice old wooden box; a bit damaged but not bad for two quid.
Then back again through the not very exciting Sussex countryside (although the waether and the autumn light did it proud) and to the inevitable pub; after a fair bit of research (Dr. Duct would have been proud of us; in fact I did suggest to Jim that we could skip all the internet nonsense and just ring Craig up and ask him) we settled on the Rose and Crown in Fletching. We had also considered the Griffin in Fletching (very expensive!) and the Blackboys Inn in Blackboys (love the name, but before anyone gets too excited, it dates from the time when the area was a centre for charcoal burning); we actually rang them up and it sounded as if selling us some dinner would be a bit too much trouble for them to contemplate. The Rose and Crown proved to be a good choice, serving a lovely Sunday roast (opportunity to explain the mystery of Yorkshire pudding and what it's doing in Sussex), with Harveys and London Pride and excellent service from nice friendly helpful people.
The weekend was over and I had to be back at work on Monday, but the fun wasn't quite over yet. Before getting on my train I joined Jim in Lewes to pick out some little gifts to remind Bill and Michell of their stay. Our port of call of course had to be the Harvey's shop - where else, for something light and easily packed (so no beer, sorry) - t-shirts, shopping bags and souvenir books. Then I went off to the station and Jim headed over to the Dorset, where he picked up our guests for a day touring Lewes itself. Among other things they made sure to take in the Lewes Arms, epicentre of the legendary Greene King boycott.
It must have been the busiest weekend I've had for a long while, but it was great fun, not only spending time with Michelle and Bill, but actually taking the trouble to look with new eyes at what's on the doorstep. Can't wait to do it again - after I've had a bit of a rest!

Ian Matuszak: Living the Jiu Jitsu Lifestyle With Cerebral Palsy
Emil Fischer
Ian Matuszak
Jiu Jitsu is known for having profound effects on the lives of its practitioners. Normally, people get in much better shape, have an awesome hobby and make new friends. Sometimes it has a far deeper and far reaching effect on the psyches of those who really embrace it.
Ian Matuszak has cerebral palsy, a neurological disorder that impairs bodily functions. He was diagnosed shortly after birth and in his specific case of CP his legs don't work well and he has to use a walker and a wheelchair. He also has a stutter. Cerebral palsy can have a wide spectrum of effects, ranging from severe developmental delay coupled with very poor motor skills, to relatively mild effects. Basically, Ian's brain is not receiving orders for him to walk properly. I had an opportunity to talk to Ian about his experience using BJJ to cope with his condition and the tremendous benefits it has had on him.
Ian is an MMA fan, living in Westbury New York he's a Chris Weidman fan, and he first discovered Jiu Jitsu in November of 2014 at one of Weidman's open workouts leading up to his rematch with Anderson Silva "I found Jiu Jitsu after going to one of Chris Weidman's open workouts. I am a big fan of his so I went back a few times, and one of the guys asked if I wanted to give it a try. Never did I think I was going to do it.
Very often kids with conditions like Ian experience bullying, but fortunately in Ian's case bullying was never a problem "There has been very little bullying, but as a result of my stutter I was very shy in high school." Jiu Jitsu has had a profound affect on that shyness "I find that I am talking more as a result, and have a thicker skin by not getting down on myself so easily. I had depression in high school probably because I didn't feel like I had anything to offer, like who would want to talk to me? Other people automatically saw the wheelchair… I think they didn't know how to approach me."
Ian didn't do sports prior to BJJ "I was more of a computer guy." For Ian the prospect of being treated differently in a sport ruined the prospect of doing it "I didn't really see how I could do sports to be honest. I didn't want to be treated any differently." One of the issues with a condition like CP is that many sports require types of movement that are difficult if not impossible for someone like Ian to do, but not BJJ! "There is something about the endorphin high you get from Jiu Jitsu, after sweating my *** off at the end of a good roll. It is a release like no other. Every roll, every person's game is different. It never gets repetitive as you always learn new things. Even black belts still learn new things, level doesn't matter, and the learning is constant. Variety and possibility are the most interesting aspects for me!"
Ian has earned 4 stripes on his white belt and has already competed twice. "I competed twice thus far; one of them is called Grappler's Heart, and is only for people who have some sort of disability. I lost all my matches in that competition. The second one I competed in was The Good Fight NY against regular competitors. I won my 1st and 2nd in that and got choked out in my no gi match." Ian's attitude about training and competition are inspirational "My goal is always to inspire others, as corny as that sounds. I am getting better everyday so I don't see getting better as a goal since I am already achieving that. I would like to teach one day, but I think that's a long way off but who knows! Jiu Jitsu has opened so many doors for me. I have trained with the best guys in the world. I recently met and attended a Roger Gracie seminar, a couple weeks before that I trained with Renzo Gracie himself. Last year I went to American Top Team and I was so humbled by their reception. Jiu Jitsu has changed my life."
People like Ian show us all what human potential really means. Jiu Jitsu is one vehicle for us to explore our human potential.
Ian had a few shout outs "My coaches Dave Patton and Pete Sell who are under Matt Serra always support me." His closing message to our readers "I just want to convey that disability isn't everything. It doesn't define who you are."

Now is the season of queuing at Apple Stores worldwide (or, at least, in those countries where the iPhone 5 will be on sale this Friday).
It's amazing how the first in the line usually has some point to make, as you see from this picture taken outside the main Sydney store this morning. Pity this is such a boring old phone that it is doomed to disaster.
I've often thought of doing the queue, just out of interest and in search of good fellowship. That chair does look comfy. But, as usual, I've taken the easy route and am putting my faith in UPS.

Essential oils have long been revered for their rich fragrance and restorative properties. Our Bergamot Dish Soap pairs the brilliantly scented essential oil of the Bergamot fruit with our ultra-efficient dish soap formula to tackle grease and sticky mess and deliver plant-rich, planet-conscious cleanliness with the gentlest squeeze.
Contains: Water, Sodium Coco Sulfate, Cocobetaine, Lauramine Oxide, Cold Compressed Bergamot Essential Oil, Phenoxyethanol.
If I have to dishes by hand, I want a nice soap that's effective and kind to my hands. This soap smells wonderful and is very effective at cutting grease. It doesn't foam as much or as long as the "name brands", but it certainly does the job. Since I've been using it, I haven't had any cracks in my thumbs (they hurt!), so it obviously isn't full of chemicals. I'm looking forward to trying the other scent when this one is done. Nice product!
I love bergamot and finding this product made me so happy that it came in my favorite scent! It is a softer dish soap than Dawn, which I typically use. It's great for every kind of washing, particularly since it's a sense experience while standing over the sink. 🙂 I make the exception for the greasy grimy pan- I'll still pull out steel Wool or spend some time heavy soaking due to the lack of chemicals , but it is a new 'go to' in my kitchen! I love having the Real Simple logo at my sink too!!


We are running a farm stay and a community garden. The garden is often used for educational purposes for local and international students and other groups for team-building activities and to experience farm life and for the nature enthusiast who's interested in permaculture and organic produce.
We are also hosting various of activities likely live cooking events, farm-to-table events and farm cooking classes.
We will support you with the most important needs such as a place to stay (your own room), food and drinks, transportation and sightseeing around Brunei.
We seek assistance with setting up some facilities and structures in our garden. We are looking for people who are keen to set up e.g. a terrace, a small cottage house, creating a small perma-cultural garden, building paths to and from structures, providing some creative ideas on how to improve the garden.
Some tasks can be extremely strenuous while others may be rather sedentary.

I'm not a very good guitar player but I still love guitars. I don't want to be in a band, I don't want to play in front of people, I just want to learn songs off the radio and play them to have fun.
I didn't think much about it and just forwarded it to a friend. They said they were interested and would check it out the next day. I realized I had just skimmed the ad and didn't really read it. Depending on how old, a Harmony Master can be between $300 – $1,000 depending on age, model and condition. Each guitar $30? It's like an episode of American Pickers or those shows where they bid on storage bins. I dream about finding a bunch or motorcycles in a garage or guitars from the 30's at a yard sale. I couldn't go wrong!


HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN) - First responders received a summons after 5 a.m. Tuesday, April 12, to assist on a possible motor vehicle entrapment near Lesage. The first dispatch indicated that the vehicle was under water in a creek. Upon arrival, they learned that neighbors had rescued two people from the car. They have been taken to the hospital.
HUNTINGTON, WV (HNN) - Huntington City Council's plate had an array of financial issues of which two went back to the Finance Committee for further discussion, and three were approved.
HUNTINGTON, WV. – Dr. Ancella R. Bickley, professor emeritus of English and former Vice President of Academic Affairs at West Virginia State University, will deliver the 2011 Charles Hill Moffat Lecture Thursday, April 21 at Marshall University.
Deborah Digges, who took her own life in the spring of 2009, wrote poems of grief throughout her career—some painful and unsparing, but many with a silver lining of comfort and sly celebration. Here is "The Coat," written for her husband, from her posthumous collection The Wind Blows Through the Doors of My Heart.

BULLETPROOF (IRE) is a 12 year old GELDING which was most recently trained by Ken Cunningham-Brown. This GELDING was foaled in 2006, and is by the sire WAREED (IRE) and dam LAURA'S NATIVE (IRE).
Whenever an item is posted to this site relating to BULLETPROOF (IRE) it will be listed below, in reverse chronological order (the most recently listed items will be nearest the top of this page, below).


The Bills tweaked their roster a day after dropping to 52 players by claiming a pair of former Patriots.
The team added punter Corey聽Bojorquez and defensive back Ryan Lewis after they were cut by the longtime AFC East frontrunners.
Mike Reiss of ESPN reports that the Bills tried to sign Lewis off of the New England practice squad last season http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-orlando-brown-jr.-jersey , but Lewis opted to remain with the Patriots. His father Will Lewis played in the NFL and CFL, worked as an executive for several NFL teams and is now the General Manager of the Memphis entry in the Alliance of American Football.
Bojorquez did not punt in any of the Patriots' four preseason games this summer. The Bills released Jon Ryan Saturday in a move that left Colton Schmidt as the only punter on the roster. We'll see if he remains there now that Bojorquez has been claimed as the Bills will have to drop one player to make room for the two new faces.
Ryan Grigson admits mistakes during his five seasons as the Colts General Manager Youth Rashaan Evans Jersey , including a relationship with head coach Chuck Pagano that turned so toxic that owner Jim Irsay hired counselors.
Indianapolis went 52-34 with Grigson at the helm, but ultimately bad personnel decisions cost him his job. Grigson used first-round picks on Bjoern Werner and Phillip Dorsett; he signed Andre Johnson and Trent Cole as free agents; and he traded a first-round pick to Cleveland for Trent Richardson.
The Colts fired Grigson in January 2017.
Now that Grigson has done the job Denzelle Good Jersey , he believes his on-the-job training will serve him well if he ever gets a second chance to call the shots for a team.


With all the available PHP frameworks out there, which one should you choose to build the best possible responsive site? Check out this article to find out.
We like to think of a good PHP Framework as a good foundation for any sustainable home—you can never see the foundation of a house and it doesn't help you lead a more satisfying lifestyle, but without it, your house would collapse in the next earthquake.
However, nowadays, it is not necessary to build your website from scratch with complicated web development languages. All the tedious work that starting a website represents, such as: building libraries, creating components, providing separation of model, and putting low-level security together can be time-consuming. And now, you can fast-forward through all these headaches in just a few minutes and jump right to the parts that we all like when it comes to creating a website.
This badass PHP framework is definitely not for the lighthearted. It can be daunting at first glance with its many features of Models, Entities, Routing, Controllers, etc. On the other hand, if you have a solid body of knowledge when it comes to PHP and HTML, you will create monstrous web applications with the help of this buddy.
The Symfony is an open GitHub project, and more than 300,000 developers have worked and improved its code lines along the years. You can download it for free with an MIT license.
Symfony 2 is made up of a series of reusable PHP components that you can easily install on most platforms, and it is known for being stable and flexible for any of your website ideas.
If you want speed for your website, you call on PhalconPHP. It is a framework written in C and is by far the fastest PHP framework on the market. Don't turn your back on Phalcon just because it is a PHP C-extension; the framework will offer you the majority of the full-stack updated features such as routing, view templates, Caching and ORM, controllers, query language, etc.
Phalcon is always a step ahead of the game with its low overhead that cuts down memory consumption like no other traditional framework, offers dependency injection, a set of PHP helpers, autoloader following PSR-4, and advanced routing power. Plus, it is a great fit for even Intermediates, as it's very easy to learn how to use.
With just a simple Google trend job, you can see with your own eyes that Laravel is the most popular framework in 2016. And that's no wonder! It's another masterpiece for which any great developer can contribute to thanks to its MIT license.
It's the easiest framework to learn as its developers wanted a script that is simple to implement and not another complicated starting point for a website or web application. The most powerful feature of this framework is its own personal templating engine, called 'Blade', which develops no performance overheads in your website.
Yii does an amazing job when it comes to security through thorough maintenance and ensures its developer a maintainable and efficient result. The Gii in Yii is a powerful code generator, which is web-based. Thanks to it, you can easily generate forms, modules, CRUD, models, etc.
You don't need a template language for CodeIgniter, as it provides a substitution tool with templates and simple add-ons & plugins.
Cake is a modern 5.5+ framework that can still exist in the top 9 frameworks even though its release was back in 2005. However, CakePHP 3.3 positions the framework among the most powerful scripts from 2016.
Even beginners can develop an impressive visual experience for their websites with its help. It holds an MVC pattern which is actually a model support to handle the data more effectively, ORM features that convert data from incompatible type systems in programming languages, and lots of extensive components, behaviors, plugins, and helpers.
You can easily come to trust the Zend framework just by looking at the huge websites that use it: BBC, BNP Paribas, or Cisco WebEx. It has been around the block for 9 years now, and it shows no signs of an outdated script.
Zen is an object-orientated framework at its core, so use it best for inheritance or interfaces. Its latest version is optimized for PHP7, but it can easily support even PHP 5.5. Zend has replaced the MVC stack with a lighter alternative built on middleware runtime patterns like Apigility.
Fuel welcomes both beginners and professionals to its community as it is a very versatile framework. It is a Model View Controller (MVC) framework that supports HMVC. It is recognized worldwide for its simplicity, flexibility, and modern features.
Its developers created a powerful Documentation sector to get anyone started in developing professional websites with the use of a clean syntax. It enjoys high portability, as anyone can work with Fuel with any server. Its active community constantly streamlines the core scripts to support new & modern features and to build any kind of complex web application.

Sri Chinmoy's Path
Cultural Offerings
Transcendental Picture
Sri Chinmoy was an avid sportsman from his youth and throughout his life. In the spiritual community where he grew up, he excelled in soccer and volleyball, and was the top-ranked sprinter. During his late teens he was also a decathlon champion.
In the 1970s and 1980s, he was an active long-distance runner, completing many marathons, ultra-marathons and shorter races. For many years he played tennis almost every day, and frequently competed in track-and-field events in Masters Games, including the World Masters Games in Puerto Rico in 1983, and the World Veterans Games in Miyazaki, Japan in 1993. He took up weight-lifting in the mid-1980s and over the years set several records in the calf-raise and one-arm lift.
Sri Chinmoy believed that a balanced lifestyle fosters harmony and inner peace. His integral approach to life encourages physical fitness and sports as a vehicle for personal transformation.
"There are countless people on earth who do not believe in the inner strength or inner life. They feel that the outer life is everything. I do not agree with them," he says. "There is an inner life; there is spirit, and my ability to lift heavy weights proves that it can work in matter as well. I am doing these lifts with the physical body, but the power is coming from an inner source, from my prayer and meditation."
Sri Chinmoy practised sports not only for the joy of it, and to keep the body fit, but also because he saw sports as a natural vehicle for expressing his philosophy of self-transcendence. Inspired by his example, several of his students have attempted to stretch their own personal limits - setting new world records in various fields, running multi-day races, swimming the English channel and climbing some of the world's highest mountains.
What gives life its value
If not its constant cry
For self-transcendence?
Sri Chinmoy has written extensively and has answered hundreds of questions on sports as an avenue for spiritual growth.
He established the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team, which annually presents hundreds of events and races around the world.

Tools & Techniques Cancer, Drug discovery, Omics
Cracking Cancer's Code
Sitting Down With… George Calin, Professor, Department of Experimental Therapeutics, and Co-Director, The RNA Interference and non-coding RNA Center, Division of Cancer Medicine, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, USA.
Roisin McGuigan | 05/17/2017
How did you get into studying the role of RNA in cancer?
It was entirely down to chance. I was born in Romania, which at that time was a communist country. The study of genetics was frowned upon, but I was lucky to have the geneticist Dragos Stefanescu as a mentor; he taught me cytogenetics but also how to do good science. I wanted to study abroad, so I wrote 120 letters to 120 scientists all over the world – and ended up moving to Italy to Massimo Negrini's laboratory, where I studied molecular biology and molecular genetics before moving to the United States. I was at Kimmel Cancer Center in Philadelphia with the famous geneticist Carlo Croce, when we discovered a link between microRNAs and human cancer. It was the first time a link had been made between any type of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) and a human disease. But the initial paper was rejected by a famous journal in just 12 hours. Attached was a simple note saying that our discovery was random, and because it wasn't proven that microRNAs were important in cancer, our work would be better suited to a smaller journal. Today, that paper has probably been cited more than 4,000 times, and there are over 30,000 papers in PubMed on microRNAs or long ncRNAs and cancer. That discovery opened the door, both for me and for many other scientists. But much of it was actually luck.
In 1992, when I was a young student in Romania, the first scientist who helped me write a research essay was Thomas Cech, who received a Nobel Prize for his work with RNA and his discovery of ribozymes. It's funny to think that now, 25 years later, I am working in the field that Thomas popularized: the role of RNAs in biology, and in pathology in general.
How did you find success as a translational researcher?
I don't consider myself successful – yet. I don't think I can consider my work successful until we see a drop in cancer mortality, either through an ncRNA therapeutic or through somehow targeting ncRNAs.
My collaborators and I have focused a lot of effort on developing microRNA therapeutics but, until now, we've only seen limited trials. I think the next 5–10 years will be a time in answering the question of whether these new types of drugs (or potentially drug targets) can be used in therapeutics, or for the development of biomarkers. Clever ideas are great, but we have to use them to deliver a meaningful change to the patient, either through better diagnoses or therapeutics.
Gleevec is a good example of the power of science and medicine working together to turn around the natural history of a deadly cancer. Chronic myeloid leukemia before Gleevec was fatal. Now, there are patients surviving for a very long time. And that's what I hope to achieve using microRNAs or anti-microRNAs, whether in cancer or other diseases.
What advice would you give to other researchers aiming for the clinic?
That's simple – never give up! If you're a fundamental scientist, collaborate with clinicians, and clinician-scientists, and experts on drug delivery, statisticians, and bioinformaticians, because that's how you get a strong team. You need a big team and you need to put in a lot of passionate work – several years, if not decades.
Also, you often need to work hard to find funding, because it's always limited, as there are always more ideas than there is money to go around. Other than that, your path may be very different depending on your institution, and country, and so on. But I would urge all scientists to consider how they might be able to apply their discoveries to patients from the earlier phases of their research!
You aim to produce the first complete catalog of human ncRNAs. How close are you?
Day by day, I think I am getting further away! The genome is complex, and there have been many surprises. A colleague at Thomas Jefferson, Isidore Rigoutsos, and I recently had a paper accepted on the topic of human- and primate-specific ncRNAs that have no homology with other species. Essentially, these transcripts represent a fingerprint of humanity, which could have big implications for research – many scientists, including me, spend a lot of time and money using mouse models of human cancers. But as geneticists, we know that mouse models don't reproduce human cancers very well. Without a deep and meticulous understanding of the genome, and how it functions, I don't believe we will make big advances in developing new biomarkers and therapeutics for cancer. I hope our new ncRNA research will help to bridge that gap. We are heading in the right direction, but it's going to take a long time. Luckily, the journey is fascinating and full of unexpected turns, which is great – it keeps life interesting!
When you look back at your career, would you do anything differently?
I don't think there's anything I would change. My path has led me to one of the biggest cancer centers in the world, where I'm lucky to have great collaborators and colleagues. But so much of my success is down to other people that I cannot thank them enough. It's important to thank my mentors, because without them I wouldn't be where I am. We should all thank our fellows more as well – no matter how clever you are, how good your ideas are, or how much funding you bring, you are in debt to the people in your lab who work to make your ideas a reality. So I'd like to thank both those who came before and those who came after for making my work possible.

I have an extensive academic background in the life sciences, having studied forensic biology and human medical genetics in my time at Strathclyde and Glasgow Universities. My research, data presentation and bioinformatics skills plus my 'wet lab' experience have been a superb grounding for my role as a deputy editor at Texere Publishing. The job allows me to utilize my hard-learned academic skills and experience in my current position within an exciting and contemporary publishing company.

Dustin Johnson paints a by-the-numbers Masters-piece
Masters golf champion Dustin Johnson shows off his green jacket after his victory Sunday, Nov. 15, 2020, in Augusta, Ga. (AP Photo/Matt Slocum)
By JIM LITKE
Breaking the scoring record was on his mind, because, of course it was. Dustin Johnson wanted it, too. He just hadn't bothered to look the number up.
"It was 19 (under) before?" Johnson asked a Masters official to his right in the interview room late Sunday afternoon. They had on identical green jackets.
Told it was 18 under (shared by Tiger Woods and Jordan Spieth), Johnson flashed a shy grin. His expression rarely gives much away; his answers seem designed to deflect attention. A moment later, Johnson admitted that he hadn't looked at a scoreboard all day, either.
Not after shaky back-to-back bogeys at Nos. 3 and 4 peeled his four-shot lead back to one; nor after three straight birdies on the back nine left Cameron Smith and Sungjae Im, Johnson's last two pursuers, in the dust. He didn't see the need to complicate things.
"I didn't want it to affect the way I played," Johnson said. "I just didn't look at it. I took what the course gave me and hit the shots I felt I could hit."
Coming down 18, though, he finally gave in. Johnson turned to his brother Austin, who conveniently doubles as his caddie, and asked where he stood.
"I told him he had a five-shot lead," Austin recalled. "I could kick it in from there. He had no clue."
Johnson's distaste for drama is often mistaken for indifference. He came out on tour in 2007 looking to all the world like he was born to play golf — long arms, a slow heartbeat and a syrupy swing that belies its raw power — then won early and, with the exception of the majors, often.
Johnson completed the climb to No. 1 in the world the first time in 2017 and stayed there for the better part of the three years since. He'd won twice already this year and still held that lofty spot when he arrived at Augusta, having already spent nearly two weeks in quarantine after testing positive for the coronavirus to boot. If anyone had a storyline that ran straight through this strange, pandemic-disrupted season, it was Johnson.
Yet nobody was happier when the pre-tournament spotlight focused on Tiger Woods' chances of reprising his improbable 2019 win, and bulked-up Bryson DeChambeau's grand plan to carve up Augusta National the way he sliced and diced Winged Foot at the U.S. Open. Predictably perhaps, both were old news by the time Johnson stretched out to a four-shot lead heading into the final round.
That move brought Johnson's haunting past at the majors back to the fore. In his lone triumph, the 2016 U.S. Open, he came from four shots behind on the final day to win. On four other occasions, Johnson had at least a share of the lead after 54 holes and failed to cash in. Though you wouldn't have known by watching him play — at least after those early bogeys — the suspense was taking its toll on him, too.
"I proved to myself that I do have it, " Johnson began, "because I'm sure a lot of y'all think …" and then paused. "Like, when am I going to have the lead and finish off the golf tournament or finish off a major?"
Johnson saved the real surprise, as it turned out, for afterward. In a post-match interview on CBS, Amanda Balionis tried several times to get Johnson to explain what finally slipping on the green jacket meant. Every time he tried to answer, Johnson choked up, fighting back tears.
"I'm sorry," he said apologizing more than once. "It's hard to talk. I've never this much trouble gathering myself."
Not on a golf course, perhaps, because inside the ropes, Johnson knew where he was headed. But at age 36, he again faced the question of whether all that talent would be enough when it mattered most, and finally answered it by proving how much it mattered to him.

Deadline passed as of April 30, 2017. Deadline for 2018 unknown. Patagonia funds only environmental work. We are most interested in making grants to organizations that identify and work on the root causes of problems and that approach issues with a commitment to long-term change. Because we believe that the most direct path to real change is through building grassroots momentum, our funding focuses on organizations that create a strong base of citizen support. We support small, grassroots, activist organizations with provocative direct-action agendas, working on multi-pronged campaigns to preserve and protect our environment. We think the individual battles to protect a specific stand of forest, stretch of river or indigenous wild species are the most effective in raising more complicated issues—particularly those of biodiversity and ecosystem protection—in the public mind. We help local groups working to protect local habitat and frontline communities through bold, original actions. We look for innovative groups that produce measurable results, and we like to support efforts that force the government to abide by its own—our own—laws.
Deadline Passed as of 12/1/2017. Deadline for 2018 unknown.
