AURORA DAWN P A G E 4 New Bloomfield Happenings by Megan Hello and welcome to the New Bloomfield Center! As you see from the cover story we recently finished up an incredible mosaic project with the artist Linda Billet and the Perry County Council of the Arts. The consumers worked for two weeks to create a true piece of art that will soon be placed at a local elementary school. While doing this project they learned how to work together and solve problems. Now that this project is complete, we are starting a program about health, nutrition, and fitness called “Biggest Losing Team.” We will be competing with the other centers to lose the most weight over a three-month period. Throughout this time, we will be learning all about nutrition and how to alter our lifestyles to become healthier.

  • Hall of Fame Andy Partridge

    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge

    Hall of Fame Andy Partridge Andrew John Partridge (born 11 November 1953) is an English singer, songwriter, guitarist, and record producer from Swindon. He is best known for co-founding the rock band XTC, in which he served as the group's primary songwriter and vocalist. While the band was formed as an early punk rock group, Partridge's music drew heavily from British Invasion songwriters, and his style gradually shifted to more traditional pop, often with pastoral themes. The band's only British top 10 hit, "Senses Working Overtime" (1982), was written by Partridge. In addition to his work with XTC, Partridge has released one solo album on Virgin Records in 1980 called Take Away / The Lure of Salvage. He has also collaborated (as performer, writer or record producer) with recording artists, including Martin Newell, with whom he recorded and produced an album in 1993 entitled The Greatest Living Englishman released in Japan as a duo album. Partridge was producer for the English band Blur during the recording of Modern Life Is Rubbish (1993). He was replaced by Stephen Street at the insistence of their record label, Food. According to Partridge he was unpaid for the sessions and received his expenses only. Partridge also wrote four songs for Disney's version of James and the Giant Peach (1996) but was replaced by Randy Newman when he could not get Disney to offer him "an acceptable deal". In the 2000s, Partridge began releasing demos of his songs under his own name in The Official Fuzzy Warbles Collector's Album and the Fuzzy Warbles album series on his APE House record label.

Talross 1, Joseph G.

Pseudouridylation and 2’-O-methylation are the most abundant types of RNA modifications. They are mediated by modification guide RNAs, also known as small nucleolar (sno)RNAs and small Cajal body-specific (sca)RNAs. We used yeast and vertebrate cells to test guide activities predicted for a number of snoRNAs, based on their regions of complementarity with rRNAs. We showed that human SNORA24 is a genuine guide RNA for 18S-Ψ609, despite some non- canonical base-pairing with its target. At the same time, we found quite a few snoRNAs that have the ability to base-pair with rRNAs and can induce predicted modifications in artificial substrate RNAs, but do not modify the same target sequence within endogenous rRNA molecules. Furthermore, certain fragments of rRNAs can be modified by the endogenous yeast modification machinery when inserted into an artificial backbone RNA, even though the same sequences are not modified in endogenous yeast rRNAs.

The trouble with many of us is that at the earlier stages of life we think we know everythingÑor to put it more usefully, we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance. Ignorance is not just a blank space on a personÕs mental map. It has contours and coherence, and for all I know rules of operation as well. ÑThomas Pynchon When you get right down to it, itÕs all sublime. That is, indescribable. You donÕt stop, though. You keep trying to describe it. Language games become a form of breathing. What you donÕt know can and will hurt you, but not as much as what you already know, which has already hurt you and will continue to bring you pain. This is also the ultimate cause of joy. To what extent is the unknown a function of memory, and to what extent fate? We are frontier-obsessive creatures.

Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan.
