Letter from Frances J. Myers to John Muir, 1880 Mar 28 .

[letterhead]Syracuse, N.Y., Mch 28th 1880Mr MuirDear SirThe package of plants kindly sent by yourself arrived safely this morning via New York. Why it went way around that way is a mystery to me. We all thank you for the attention, and shall value the specimens as from a friend. As individuals we are striving to complete our collections of ferns, of which only the rare species are now in demand. B. [boreale?], N. [tenera?], C.

Party attitudes to the principle of preference to unionists contained in the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Bill, 1903-4

The object of this thesis is to analyse members' attitudes to the principle of preference contained in the Commonwealth Conciliation and Arbitration Bill (1904). In light of this object the primary problem is to explain the significance of the Preference Clause. Part I introduces the main theme, that the significance of the Preference Clause is explained by two circumstances. The first is an explanation of how arbitration became the solution to the pattern of ind.us trial relations which developed, and the place of preference in arbitration. The second circumstance is the place of the Preference Clause in the party machinations of the period while observing that these circumstances both determine and affect members' attitudes. Part II (1860-1890) describes the pattern of industrial relations up to the point of the industrial crisis of the Mari time Strike. Part III (1891-1901) relates the crisis of the strike to the industrial and political developments in this decade. The industrial event of arbitration and the political event of the formation of Parliamentary Labour Parties form the immediate background to the crisis over preference. The description of arbitration demonstrates the rationale behind preference while the description of the Labour Party demonstrates the reason why preference should be distasteful to members when advocated by a Labour Party. Part IV constitutes the main body of the thesis. It describes in broad terms the form of the crisis and specifically the members' attitudes. Part V concludes in the form of a postscript, commenting briefly on the fortunes of the preference clause and the clause controlling political status of unions over the next decade

Differences in Veterans' and Nonveterans' End-of-Life Preferences: A Pilot Study

Background: Investigators conducting focus groups on end-of-life preferences noted that veterans voiced opinions that strongly differed from those of nonveterans. Objective: The objective of this study was to further explore differences between veterans' and nonveterans' end-of-life preferences. Methods: Ten focus groups and a pilot survey were conducted. Setting and sample: The focus groups consisted of Arab Muslims, Arab Christians, Hispanics, blacks, and whites stratified by gender (n = 73). Fifteen male veterans were included across all five racial groups. Measures: A moderator discussion guide was used to lead the focus groups and a pilot survey asked about demographic information and end-of-life preferences. Results: Veterans were more likely to be married (p < 0.05) and less connected to their cultural group (p < 0.05) than nonveterans. The focus group results indicated that veterans in this study were more likely to oppose the use of heroic measures compared to nonveterans. More so than nonveterans, veterans felt that their doctors should be frank and open (p < 0.05) were strongly in favor of do-not-resuscitate (DNR) orders (p < 0.10), yet were less likely to have a proxy (p < 0.10) or durable power of attorney p < 0.01). Comparing end-of-life preferences, veterans felt less strongly than nonveterans about remembering personal accomplishments (p < 0.05), being listened to (p < 0.05), being with friends (p < 0.01), or being comfortable with their nurse (p < 0.05), but did want to be around their pets at the end of life p < 0.10). Implications: The Department of Veterans Affairs is in a unique position to improve endof- life care for veterans. Providing end-of-life care that is congruent with the veteran's wishes can improve satisfaction and increase cost effectiveness by eliminating unacceptable services.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/63253/1/jpm.2006.9.1099.pd

Design, synthesis, and biological evaluation of an allosteric inhibitor of HSET that targets cancer cells with supernumerary centrosomes

Centrosomes associate with spindle poles; thus, the presence of two centrosomes promotes bipolar spindle assembly in normal cells. Cancer cells often contain supernumerary centrosomes, and to avoid multipolar mitosis and cell death, these are clustered into two poles by the microtubule motor protein HSET. We report the discovery of an allosteric inhibitor of HSET, CW069, which we designed using a methodology on an interface of chemistry and biology. Using this approach, we explored millions of compounds in silico and utilized convergent syntheses. Only compound CW069 showed marked activity against HSET in vitro. The inhibitor induced multipolar mitoses only in cells containing supernumerary centrosomes. CW069 therefore constitutes a valuable tool for probing HSET function and, by reducing the growth of cells containing supernumerary centrosomes, paves the way for new cancer therapeutics
