The Los Angeles Air Force Base issued the following news money clips:

The roles women have filled throughout America's history have evolved as our society as a whole has evolved. The change in those roles is none too evident than in the positions women hold in the Air Force and the aerospace industry today.

In celebration of Women's History Month, the Space and Missile Systems Center hosted a panel discussion entitled "My Life, Our Legacy," giving four women the opportunity to share their individual stories. Demonstrating examples of challenge, opportunity, balance and difficult choices, these women showcased the opportunities available today that were only aspirations for women of yesterday; and encouraged the women of younger generations, whose choices would pave the way for the women of tomorrow, to make their own path.

Each panel member had a very different story: a retired general who joined ROTC when it was first offered to women at Indiana University and turned a scholarship into a fruitful career; the chemist who followed her husband to Los Angeles and established herself as an accomplished scientist and business manager; a chief master sergeant who joined the Air Force in her late 20s and discovered a continuous flow of opportunity; and the woman who dreamed of being an astronaut as a child and instead became the first cheap bangles and combat-ready female pilot of the F-22 Raptor.

No matter where these women began their lives or where their careers have taken them, they each share something very special with one another: the commonality of clearing the paths for the women who will follow in their footsteps.

Doing whatever it takes to remove the obstacles as you face them so that those following your lead will not have to face them, especially if they're unfair and unwarranted, was Chief Master Sgt. Patricia Thornton's resonating message. "You make sure that pathway is clear. And that means that you need to have a backbone because people are going to tell you 'no' over and over and over again, and you better know how to get them to say 'yes,'" she said.

Retired Brig. Gen. Katherine Roberts, Signals Intelligence Systems Acquisition director, National Reconnaissance Office, Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space in Chantilly, Va., shared her story of a career that was a "means to an end." From turning an ROTC scholarship service obligation into a cheap bracelets of longevity, to experiencing the shift of leadership roles filled strictly by men to those shared among men and women, Roberts explained that through it all, the key to having a meaningful career is having a very clear understanding of what you label as the ends and what you label as the means.

Miami University issued the following news release:

It is hoped at least 2,000 male students at Miami University will step out of their cufflinks zone April 13-15 by painting their nails red to bring attention to violence against women, specifically sexual assaults.

During Operation Jungle Red II, nail painting stations will be set up around campus to paint women's - and men's - pinky nails "Jungle Red" to wear for the entire week to focus awareness and spark discussion about violence against women and how to stop it.

The program, first held in 2008 to commemorate the anniversary of the deadly shootings at Virginia Tech and raise awareness of senseless violence on college campuses, is organized by students in the kinesiology and health class, Contemporary Issues in Men's Health.

"This year we have a goal to reach one in four earrings, which represents the number of women who could be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes," according to Reginald Fennell, professor of kinesiology and health. "We hope to have 4,000 Miami University students, including 2000 men, take a stand against violence against women."

Many students are already on board with getting their mini manicure for a good cause.

"I feel this is an important program because we need to educate more individuals on the everyday violence against women that goes unseen," said Jordain Brown, a junior sports studies and psychology double major. "It's a good way to reach out to the masses so that they, too, can either join our efforts or come up necklaces their own ideas to take a stand."

According to Joey Benson, a senior health studies major, "Three women are killed every day by men who 'love them.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney issued the following news release:

A 40-year-old Inglewood woman who left her shepherd-mix dog in her car bangles hours with the windows closed has been charged with felony animal cruelty and animal endangerment, the District Attorney's office announced today.

Eloisa Asuncion Zapata, (dob 8-9-69), was arrested Saturday after police found her dog unresponsive in her Mitsubishi Mirage. Police were summoned to Robertson Boulevard in West Los Angeles after a passer-by noticed the dog in distress in the vehicle with the windows all closed. Police broke the window, but the dog was comatose and had to be euthanized due to injuries associated with heat stroke, officials said.

Zapata was charged on Tuesday in case SA074036 with one felony count of animal cruelty and one misdemeanor count of animal endangerment resulting in great bodily injury.

Zapata, who was released on $21,564 bail, is scheduled to be rings on April 26 at the Airport Superior Court, Department 144. If convicted, she faces up to three years in state prison.

Deputy District Attorney Debbie Knaan, animal cruelty case coordinator, said the case illustrates how quickly pets can become overheated in a closed car, even when temperatures are in the 70s.

"Studies have shown that a healthy dog, whose normal body temperature ranges from 101 to 102.5 degrees, can withstand a body temperature of 107 to 108 degrees for only a short time before suffering brain damage or death," she said. "Reports stated that this dog's body temperature was 107.5 degrees when it was taken to the vet."

Knaan also said that residents can download posters reminding people of the bracelets of keeping pets in cars.

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations issued the following news tiffany silver notes:

The ASEAN Commission on the Promotion and Protection of the Rights of Women and Children (ACWC) was inaugurated today in a ceremony held in Ha Noi in the lead-up towards the 16th ASEAN Summit.

"Our survey explored both men and women's perceptions of what the key attributes are tiffanys success in technology," said Dr. Caroline Simard, vice president of research and executive programs for the Anita Borg Institute and author of the study. "The findings have helped identify common characteristics of those who have been able to break through the barriers associated with climbing the technical ladder. By shedding light on these attributes and encouraging further research on the subject, we hope to facilitate greater diversity, which is so critical to innovation, at all levels of the technology industry." Attributes of Success The study identified top attributes for success for senior technical women. Analytical: The majority of senior technical women perceive themselves as analytical. Indeed, all technical employees tend to see themselves as high on this attribute, as technical careers tend to first and foremost look for analytical and problem-solving skills. Unafraid to Question/Desire to Learn: A majority consider themselves as questioning - having the ability to ask the right questions, which is critical to problem-solving. Risk-Takers: A majority of senior technical women view themselves as risk-takers, which was identified by technical employees as one of the top four attributes of success. Moderate amounts of risk-taking are an important part of leadership, and senior women and men are equally as likely to perceive themselves as risk takers. This research shatters the stereotype that men are more likely to be risk takers than women are. Collaborative: Senior technical women are collaborators. A collaborative tiffany silver accessories style is perceived as a critical success factor in high-technology by both technical men and women, and is consistent with a culture that values innovation, which cannot be achieved without extensive collaboration. Collaboration is both a critical source of success but also a great source of career satisfaction. Hard-working/Long Hours: Advancement for senior women comes with long working hours. This finding is consistent with the culture of technology where advancement is tied to increased responsibility and significant availability. This can be a barrier for women who seek advancement while juggling family responsibilities in dual-career couples. 72 percent of the senior technical women surveyed reported cutting back on sleep to advance their careers and nearly a third have delayed having children. Assertive: A majority of senior technical women describe themselves as assertive - significantly more so than women at the entry and mid levels. In a professional culture that rewards speaking up, self-promotion, and ambition, senior women interviewed uniformly said they had to learn to be assertive and promote themselves in order to advance. However, research also shows that women have less freedom than men in assertive behavior. Because women's assertiveness defy long-standing gender stereotypes, women often experience a "likeability penalty" when they are assertive.

Fresh data on proteomics are presented in the report 'Even-numbered peptides from a tiffany note hydrolysate of silk fibroin.' According to recent research published in the Journal of Chromatography B, Analytical Technologies In the Biomedical and Life Sciences, "A protease with broad substrate specificity usually produces a complex peptide mixture (see also <http://www.newsrx.com/library/topics/Proteomics.html> Proteomics). However, even-numbered peptides were obtained at high proportion upon papain hydrolysis of fibroin composed of highly repetitive Ala-and Gly-rich blocks."

"MALDI-TOF and ESI mass spectrometric analysis revealed that the even-numbered peptides were in the forms of di-, tetra-, hexa-, and octa-peptides with repeating units in combination of Ala-Gly, Ser-Gly, Tyr-Gly, and Val-Gly. Application of tandem mass spectrometry identified the sequences of the tetra-peptides to be in the order of Ala-Gly-X-Gly (X=Tyr or Val). Therefore, the substrate specificity of papain and the unique repetitive sequence of fibroin generated the hydrolysate composed of even number of tiffany pendant acids at a high percentage," wrote J. Jeong and colleagues, Ewha Woman's University, Center for Cell Signaling.

The researchers concluded: "In this work, fibroin hydrolysate was investigated as an example of an end product of protein hydrolysis, which provides a clue to understand the fate of peptides in a protein hydrolysate."

Jeong and colleagues published their study in the Journal of Chromatography B, Analytical Technologies In the Biomedical and Life Sciences (Even-numbered peptides from a papain hydrolysate of silk fibroin. Journal of Chromatography B, Analytical Technologies In the Biomedical and Life Sciences, 2010;878(9-10):836-40).

"Aroma-active compounds formed during the thermal reaction between glutathione (GSH) and tiffany key sugars were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-olfactometry (GC-O) with aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA). Application of AEDA to glutathione Maillard reaction products (GSH MRPs) led to the identification of 19 aroma-active compounds in the thermal reaction of glutathione with glucose or fructose," scientists writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry report.

"In addition, the carbohydrate module labeling (CAMOLA) approach was also employed to elucidate the formation pathways for selected target sulfur aroma compounds, such as 5-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde and 3-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde, which have not been reported previously. The intact carbon skeleton of glucose via 3-deoxyhexosone is incorporated into 5-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde with the hydrogen sulfide of GSH," wrote S.M. Lee and colleagues, Ewha Woman's University.

The researchers concluded: "On the other hand, the tiffany necklace of 3-methylthiophene-2-carbaldehyde may occur via the recombination of a C-4 sugar fragment and mercaptoacetaldehyde."
