Kumar, R and Jangir, DK and Verma, G and Shekhar, S and Hanpude, P and Kumar, S and Kumari, R and Singh, N and Bhavesh, NS and Jana, NR and Maiti, TK (2017) S-nitrosylation of UCHL1 induces its structural instability and promotes α-synuclein aggregation. Scientific Reports.
Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase-1 (UCHL1) is a deubiquitinating enzyme, which plays a key role in Parkinson's disease (PD). It is one of the most important proteins, which constitute Lewy body in PD patient. However, how this well folded highly soluble protein presents in this proteinaceous aggregate is still unclear. We report here that UCHL1 undergoes S-nitrosylation in vitro and rotenone induced PD mouse model. The preferential nitrosylation in the Cys 90, Cys 152 and Cys 220 has been observed which alters the catalytic activity and structural stability. We show here that nitrosylation induces structural instability and produces amorphous aggregate, which provides a nucleation to the native α-synuclein for faster aggregation. Our findings provide a new link between UCHL1-nitrosylation and PD pathology.


During a visit to Mount Vernon in April of last year, President Donald Trump reportedly could not fathom why George Washington did not name the estate after himself.
On Wednesday, Anderson Cooper resurrected his eye roll while fiercely mocking Trump's cartoonish ignorance of history.
As for Washington? "He's got what, that monument and that city, what's it called? Oh yeah, Washington," Cooper joked.
Cooper mimicked what he imagined was going through Trump's head as he toured the first president's home.
Cooper next went over a list of defunct products that were brandished with the Trump name. These include Trump Steaks (sold at The Sharper Image, yum!), Trump's failed casinos, his ill-fated airline, and Trump's former yacht – the Trump Princess – that was sold to Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal in 1991 when Trump was bankrupt.
Let us not forget Trump University, or as Cooper referred to it: "a $25 million class action settlement." Trump also had a vodka brand that flopped.
Like "Trump the Game," which was exactly what it sounds like.
You are funniest!!!!! Ivodka Trump…. the best of all vodka, made from various parts of Europe!
Trump's ego blinds him, and we should remember the opposite was true of Washington. How do we know this?

Augusta-Margaret River claimed its second scalp in one week after taking down Eaton Boomers by five points on Sunday.
Last weekend, the Hawks stunned South Bunbury's fans with a one-point win over the Tigers at Hands Oval.
Meanwhile, Eaton was left battered and bruised after its nine-point loss to the Bunbury Bulldogs.
Eager for an enjoyable afternoon of football, fans from both sides descended upon Glen Huon Reserve.
A handball from Augusta-Margaret River's Rhys Owen set up Mitchell Gerrans for his and the game's first goal.
At the other end of the ground, the visitors pushed Eaton back and stopped them from gaining the lead.
The Boomers struggled against the strong easterly breeze and watched as many of their attempts drifted through the point posts.
Hawk Jack Hick's attempt from 20 metres out looked promising but then drifted away from goal.
The Boomers felt a burst of energy and used the counter attack to their advantage, before Boomer Kelvin Lawrence kicked his side's first for the clash.
Matthew Jukes had a chance to extend the Hawks' lead but ended up booting the ball out of bounds.
Soon after, however, a poor kick-out by Eaton led to Hawk Mitchell Gerrans's first of four goals for the game.
Five minutes before quarter time, Brett Dobson's effort extended the visitors' lead and put Eaton further in trouble.
Augusta-Margaret River earned a 3.3.21 to 1.4.10 lead at quarter time, but knew the Boomers would come back harder and stronger in the second.
After a couple of near misses, Eaton forwards Matthew Scott and Jarrod Humphries answered the call and booted one goal each early in the second term.
The Boomers' midfield brought back the dominance and ferociousness that had helped them to reach the finals.
Mitchell Payne put the Hawks back in front with his first goal, right before Boomer Brandon Jetta took back the lead for the home side.
Tempers flared on and off the field following a major scuffle between both sides.
After drawing their focus back to the game, the Hawks kicked two goals late in the term and clinched a 6.5.41 to 4.7.31 lead at the main break.
Eaton was reinvigorated by the crowd, and went on to score two quick goals in the third quarter.
The Hawks were worried after Payne's first attempt for the quarter hit the post.
However, undeterred by the Boomers' strong line-up and intimating fans, the Hawks then went on a blistering run with immense support from Payne and Mitchell Lynn.
Eaton was never too far behind, and came within six points after Heath Ryder set up Scott for his second goal.
Dobson's spectacular effort from the boundary line pushed the Hawks' lead back out to 12 points, before he claimed his third late in the quarter.
Carrying a 10.10.70 to 7.8.50 lead into the final change, Augusta-Margaret River looked set to move through to next weekend's preliminary final.
The fourth term was filled with impressive goals. Jukes slotted his second right before Boomer Jayme Osiejak booted his side's 11th for the game.
Following Scott's sublime third goal, Jukes's second for the term put the Hawks in front by 15.
Goals to Jarrod and Herman Humphires then closed the gap, leading to a nail-biting final few minutes of play.
The siren sounded on the game and the Boomers' season, with the Hawks going on to celebrate a 12.15.87 to 12.10.82 victory.
Donnybrook made it through to this year's grand final with a convincing result against Bunbury Bulldogs at VC Mitchell Park.
The Dons held a nine-point margin going into the second half and went on to boot three unanswered majors in the third quarter.
Donnybrook's fans raved as the side cruised to a 9.5.59 to 4.9.33 win.

Q: How to Auto-Update or Auto-Delete Google Calendar Events when Cells are Updated in the Google Sheet the Event is Created From From? I have reviewed other answers to seemingly similar questions and haven't been able to find a solution yet. I am currently using the below script (thanks to a lot of help!) to auto-populate events from multiple sheets in a workbook; however, what I am also hoping to achieve:

*

*the events auto update in the calendar if pre-existing data in C4:F24 is changed (without a duplicate event being created)

*the event deletes if data in cells E4:F24 is deleted.

I already have an "onEdit" trigger enabled; however, it does not allow for any of the above. Any help is incredibly appreciated!  I have updated the script to reflect what I am currently testing.  This script returns the following error when the installed "OnEdit" trigger runs: ReferenceError: e is not defined
at simpleSheetsToCalendar(Code:4:17)

function simpleSheetsToCalendar() {
  var sheetNames = ["Oct-08-2021 | Plan", "Oct-15-2021 | Plan"]; // Please set the sheet names you want to use.
  var calendarId = "myCalendar"; // Please set your calendar ID.
  var {range} = e;
  var sheet = range.getSheet();
  if (!(sheetNames.includes(sheet.getSheetName()) && range.rowStart >= 4 && range.rowEnd <= 24 && range.columnStart >= 3 && range.columnStart <= 6)) return;

  // 1. Retrieve all events from the Calendar and create an object for checking the duplicated titles.
  var events = [];
  var pageToken = "";
  do {
    var res = Calendar.Events.list(calendarId, {maxResults: 2500, fields: "nextPageToken,items(id,summary,start(dateTime),end(dateTime))", pageToken});
    events = events.concat(res.items);
    pageToken = res.nextPageToken;
  } while(pageToken);
  var obj = events.reduce((o, e) => Object.assign(o, {[e.summary]: e}), {});

  // 2. Retrieve sheets from a Google Spreadsheet and retrieve the values from "C4:F24", and create an object for creating new events, deleting events and updating events.
  var values = sheet.getRange("C4:F24").getValues().reduce((o, [title,,startTime,endTime]) => {
    if (!obj[title] && title && startTime && endTime && !o[title]) {
      o.add[title] = {startTime, endTime};
    } else if (obj[title] && title && startTime && endTime) {
      if (new Date(obj[title].start.dateTime).getTime() != startTime.getTime() || new Date(obj[title].end.dateTime).getTime() != endTime.getTime()) {
        obj[title].start.dateTime = startTime;
        obj[title].end.dateTime = endTime;
        o.modify.push(obj[title]);
      }
    } else if (obj[title] && title && !startTime && !endTime) {
      o.remove.push(obj[title].id);
    }
    return o;
  }, {add: {}, remove: [], modify: []});

  // 3. Create new events.
  var eventCal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calendarId);
  var ar = Object.entries(values.add);
  if (ar.length > 0) {
    ar.forEach(([title, {startTime, endTime}]) => eventCal.createEvent(title, startTime, endTime));
  }

  // 4. Modify events.
  if (values.modify.length > 0) {
    values.modify.forEach(({id, start, end}) => eventCal.getEventById(id).setTime(start.dateTime, end.dateTime));
  }

  // 5. Delete events.
  if (values.remove.length > 0) {
    values.remove.forEach(id => eventCal.getEventById(id).deleteEvent());
  }
}

A: From your following question and your replying,

*

*the events auto update in the calendar if pre-existing data in C4:F24 is changed (without a duplicate event being created)

*

*the event deletes if data in cells E4:F24 is deleted.

In your situation, I understood as follows.

*

*You want to automatically execute the script when the cells "C4:C24" of the specification sheets are edited.

*When the columns "E" and "F" are changed while the column "C" has the value, you want to change the start and endtime of the event.

*When the cells "E4:F24" are deleted while the cells "C4:C24" are not deleted, you want to delete the events from the calendar.

In this case, how about the following flow?

*

*Retrieve all events from the Calendar and create an object for checking the duplicated titles.

*Retrieve sheets from a Google Spreadsheet and retrieve the values from "C4:F24", and create an object for creating new events, deleting events and updating events.

*When new title is found, create new events.

*When the title is existing and the start and end times are changed, modify events.

*When the title is existing and the start and end times are deleted, Delete events.

And, in order to execute the script, in this case, the installable OnEdit trigger is used. Because Calendar API is used. When this flow is reflected in your script, it becomes as follows.
Modified script:
In this sample script, in order to retrieve all titles of the calendar event, Calendar API is used. So before you use this script, please enable Calendar API at Advanced Google services. And, please set sheetNames and calendarId.
And also, please install the installable OnEdit trigger to the function simpleSheetsToCalendar.
function simpleSheetsToCalendar(e) {
  var sheetNames = ["Sheet1", "Sheet2",,,]; // Please set the sheet names you want to use.
  var calendarId = "calendarId"; // Please set your calendar ID.
  var {range} = e;
  var sheet = range.getSheet();
  if (!(sheetNames.includes(sheet.getSheetName()) && range.rowStart >= 4 && range.rowEnd <= 24 && range.columnStart >= 3 && range.columnStart <= 6)) return;

  // 1. Retrieve all events from the Calendar and create an object for checking the duplicated titles.
  var events = [];
  var pageToken = "";
  do {
    var res = Calendar.Events.list(calendarId, {maxResults: 2500, fields: "nextPageToken,items(id,summary,start(dateTime),end(dateTime))", pageToken});
    events = events.concat(res.items);
    pageToken = res.nextPageToken;
  } while(pageToken);
  var obj = events.reduce((o, e) => Object.assign(o, {[e.summary]: e}), {});

  // 2. Retrieve sheets from a Google Spreadsheet and retrieve the values from "C4:F24", and create an object for creating new events, deleting events and updating events.
  var values = sheet.getRange("C4:F24").getValues().reduce((o, [title,,startTime,endTime]) => {
    if (!obj[title] && title && startTime && endTime && !o[title]) {
      o.add[title] = {startTime, endTime};
    } else if (obj[title] && title && startTime && endTime) {
      if (new Date(obj[title].start.dateTime).getTime() != startTime.getTime() || new Date(obj[title].end.dateTime).getTime() != endTime.getTime()) {
        obj[title].start.dateTime = startTime;
        obj[title].end.dateTime = endTime;
        o.modify.push(obj[title]);
      }
    } else if (obj[title] && title && !startTime && !endTime) {
      o.remove.push(obj[title].id);
    }
    return o;
  }, {add: {}, remove: [], modify: []});

  // 3. Create new events.
  var eventCal = CalendarApp.getCalendarById(calendarId);
  var ar = Object.entries(values.add);
  if (ar.length > 0) {
    ar.forEach(([title, {startTime, endTime}]) => eventCal.createEvent(title, startTime, endTime));
  }

  // 4. Modify events.
  if (values.modify.length > 0) {
    values.modify.forEach(({id, start, end}) => eventCal.getEventById(id).setTime(start.dateTime, end.dateTime));
  }

  // 5. Delete events.
  if (values.remove.length > 0) {
    values.remove.forEach(id => eventCal.getEventById(id).deleteEvent());
  }
}

*

*When this script is run, the events for updating and deleting are retrieved from all event lists from Calendar and the values from Spreadsheet. And, when the values of columns "E" and "F" are changed, the event with the title of column "C" is updated. When the values of columns "E" and "F" are empty, the event with the title of column "C" is deleted.

Note:

*

*In this answer, from your question, it supposes that when the values of columns "E" and "F" are removed, the values of the title of column "C" are existing. Please be careful about this.

*In this modified script, the script is automatically executed when the cells "C4:F24" of the specification sheets. So when you directly run the function, an error like Cannot destructure property 'range' of 'e' as it is undefined. occurs. When you run the script, please edit the cells "C4:F24" of the specific sheets of sheetNames. Please be careful this.

*Please confirm your sheet names. Please be careful this.

"St. Joseph School has been a long time family tradition in our family, and my youngest will graduate this year in June. Things have certainly advanced since I was in school, but the commitment and dedication to the students remains. The academic curriculum is strong and challenging, with the opportunity for three languages, advanced math studies, science, technology, literature and grammar skills, to name only some of the studies. Students produce award winning Science projects, have literary works published and so much more. A hot, delicious and nutritious lunch is served daily from our own cafeteria, or students may choose to bring their own. The Sports program includes JV and Varsity Soccer, Intramural Basketball, JV and Varsity Girls and Boys Basketball teams, Eaglets Cheer squad and Varsity Cheer squad; all our sports teams have excellent, dedicated coaches who work hard to foster team building combined with athletic ability. But wait, there's more… an outstanding children's Choir, Band and a Drama Club that produces quality performances twice a year. Our pre-school is more than a daycare… children begin learning a multitude of skills at an early age. And of course, morning and after-care programs that provide a chance for social skills, homework time and just unwinding a bit after a busy school day. But most important, the children develop a bond with God and their faith, and truly build their Foundation for Life – Religion, Respect and Responsibility. We have enjoyed being a part of the SJS family and I am sure we will continue our involvement through volunteer efforts!"
Cindi Gardner
"We began our journey last year when we were looking for a prek. for our 5 year old daughter Molly. Molly attended home daycare which was her home for the first 5 years of her life. We knew we needed a place where she could grow and learn and start the next chapter in her life. We honestly didn't know where to look but I got word about St Joseph's pre k. We toured St Joseph school and quickly it began our instant family. Molly has excelled and grew so much here at St.J. In a few short weeks she will be graduating from Kindergarten. I feel like Molly is challenged and grew so much in the last two years. Molly loves her school and everyone has been awesome to her and us. We have had a great experience here at St Joseph school.When the teachers said she would be reading by the end of kindergarten they weren't kidding. Molly was reading by November \December Of last year. She only gets better now. We were completely blown away. St Joseph's School was an excellent choice."
Kelly Hachigian
"My daughter has been at St. Joseph's School for the last four years. I started her at SJS in PreK to see what would happen as she didn't like her prior PreK situation and it was the best decision I have ever made. She has learned Religion, Respect & Responsibility and she not only shows these values in school but also at home. The teachers and administration are more than I could have asked for. The school offers so many different options for the children. My daughter has had three years of Polish, has participated in the Tennis Program, Children's Choir and has been an Eaglet (Cheerleading for K-2nd) she can't wait to keep embracing what the school has to offer as she gets older. We are beyond happy to be part of the SJS family and would recommend SJS to anyone looking for a amazing private school."
Jill Liguz-Mello
"We have our daughter enrolled in St Joseph School. This was her first experience being away from the care of her own family and we were very careful on which school to choose. We are so glad that she and us chose St Joe's. From our orientation day, when the Sisters took her for a walk, to the many days they comforted her through kindergarten, she is now getting ready to move on to second grade and has built self confidence, lifelong friends, and an amazing support system. From the moment you drop them off at the door, there is a loving person there greeting them at the car and Sister greeting them at the door. The love and care continues through the day until they run back into your arms at the end of the day. The commitment of the teachers, administrators, Priests, Sisters, coaches and volunteers is beyond anything we have ever experienced. My only negative comment is I wish they could school her through 12th grade! We have many choices for local schooling, including the free public schools, and I can't imagine her going anywhere else."

Warren Buffett's Favorite Auto Stock
by anobermueller
When I went to the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B) annual meeting in 2009, there was something I really wanted to do.
No, it wasn't a chat with Warren Buffett.
That's almost impossible at the yearly "Woodstock for Capitalists," and only first-timers make the trek to Omaha, Nebraska, to see Buffett anyway. Longtime shareholders make the trip to listen to Berkshire's vice chairman, Charlie Munger.
But even speaking with the inimitable Munger, who's probably the smartest guy in U.S. business, wasn't at the top of my list.
I really wanted to see a floor model of one of Berkshire's newest acquisitions — the BYD car.
You see, all of Berkshire's companies display their wares in the exhibition hall at the Qwest Center in Omaha, from the GEICO gecko to Fruit of the Loom, and tucked off to one side was a BYD vehicle, complete with a leather interior, an atypical option for BYD cars, which are barebones and compete on price.
Hundreds of attendees, mostly younger men, were doing the same thing I was doing — snapping pictures of the engine with my iPhone.
BYD is a Chinese company, one that Buffett took a major stake in at Munger's behest back in 2008. Buffett sent his top scout — a guy named David Sokol — to China to meet with the company's CEO, who showed him BYD's electric cars and, just as important, the highly efficient car batteries the company builds.
The battery fluid in the power cells is non-toxic, and BYD's CEO Wang Chang-Fu even drinks it to demonstrate that fact. And although Sokol politely declined to take a sip, Berkshire took a 10% stake in BYD, which has since shot up in value.
The car looks like a dressed-up Saturn; tinny, plastic, and cheap. The door slam sounds like a Toyota (NYSE: TM) Corolla instead of an Audi or a Cadillac, which is, incidentally, what Buffett drives. The BYD car is the opposite of the sleek and sexy all-electric Tesla (Nasdaq: TSLA) Roadster, considered to be the must-have car among the affluent Greens.
Despite the car's frail look, the investment in BYD proves a powerful point: The auto industry is changing, although it never really stood still.
The question is: Are there companies out there poised to accelerate that rate of change and do they have what it takes to satisfy their shareholders in the process?
BYD caused such a stir in Omaha, because it shows that even the most famous investor in the world sees that U.S. car makers will not have the power they once did as new consumers around the world enter the car market for the first time.
As the Chief Strategist behind Game-Changing Stocks, I'm always on the hunt for the next big thing. I'm telling you now that major auto manufacturers such as General Motors (NYSE: GM) and Ford (NYSE: F) aren't the next big investment in the space.
The game-changers in the ever-changing auto industry will occur as a result of one of three reasons:
1. New technology developed by small companies. Big automakers are happy to pay for this technology to give their vehicles an edge.
Whether it's power windows, keyless entry, satellite radio, synchronized cell phones/entertainment systems or any of dozens of other options, automakers embrace new technologies quickly. Companies that develop these new systems can burgeon seemingly overnight into industrial powerhouses.
2. Small companies that profit from electric cars. A shift in automotive design has ushered in the global trend toward short-trip electric cars. These models, geared for city dwellers who drive less than 40 miles a day, are appealing to environmentally conscious consumers who are willing to pay for a gas-free lifestyle.
With strong government incentives in Europe, China, and the United States, the BYDs of the world and their suppliers that can deliver electric cars are likely to see meaningful growth. Nissan's entire 2010 production run of its Leaf electric car sold out in just a few days. Electric car makers — or, more specifically, the suppliers that deliver critical components — are potential game-changing stocks.
3. Companies that fit in the first two groups must also be able to go global, delivering their products to consumers or companies in markets where meaningful sales growth is still possible — and that means India and China.
It's important to keep the sheer mathematical reality of the worldwide automotive marketplace in mind. In the next 40 years, the global fleet of passenger cars is expected to quadruple to nearly 3 billion. China, which has overtaken the United States as the world's biggest car market, could have as many cars on its roads in 2050 as there are on the planet today. India's fleet may multiply 50-fold. It's likely that new approaches to mass transit will help limit some of that growth, but there's no doubt car use is on a major upward trajectory.
Action to Take –> Even with that, I don't think the largest returns are going to come from the current major auto makers. But BYD, like a handful of other companies I've been following, has a real shot of starting at the ground floor in this huge global industry and growing exponentially in coming years.
Or at least Warren Buffett seems to also think so…
P.S. — When you get in on the ground floor of a promising new trend or technology, the profits that can follow can change your life forever. Andy Obermueller's Game-Changing Stocks is entirely devoted to finding the next big, life-changing investing idea.

AGUEDA FERNÁNDEZ ABAD
Argentinian mezzo soprano Agueda Fernández-Abad has performed operas and oratorios with the leading orchestras of Argentina, United States and Europe. She is the recipient of numerous awards. Upon her arrival in the United States in 1990, she worked with the Florida Grand Opera. Between 2003 and 2012, she offered diverse recitals in Germany, Italy and Spain, in different venues such as the Palau de la Musica Valenciana, Radio Nacional de España, International Festival of Sacred Music, etc. She also performed in several productions in the iconic Spanish style operetta known as zarzuela.
TONNA MILLER-VALLÉS
Hailed by the New York Times as "fresh" and "sweet-toned," and by Opera News as having a "sugar-tipped soprano," Tonna Miller-Vallés is lauded for her "flesh and blood" performances and "natural stage presence." Equally at home in major opera houses and on Broadway, Ms. Miller has been heard at the Metropolitan Opera as Barbarina in Le nozze di Figaro and as fiery Carlotta Giudicelli in Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. While at New York City Opera, Ms. Miller sang the title role in Patience, Johanna in Sweeney Todd, Yum-Yum in The Mikado, Papagena in Die Zauberflöte, Frasquita in Carmen and Helen Niles in Mourning Becomes Electra. Ms. Miller has sung roles with L.A. Opera, Houston Grand Opera, Glimmerglass Opera, Santa Fe Opera, and Opera Theatre of St. Louis among others.
CATHERINE THORPE
Catherine Thorpe, soprano, has been praised by The Washington Post as having "a voice of liquid silver" and The Boston Globe described her as "[a]n accurate and committed musician with a voice that can meet any demand, no matter how extreme, with secure and attractive tone." Ms. Thorpe's roles and musical stylings are as varied as her vocal range: from leading roles at Caramoor and with the New York City Opera National Touring Company to featured solos with The Boston Pops and as the "girl singer" with the Sammy Kaye Orchestra, The Providence Journal aptly noted that she has "stage presence and range to spare..."
PHYLLIS WHITEHOUSE FROME
Phyllis Whitehouse has sung all over the US and parts of Europe if you include the unpaid gigs and warm-ups in the car. Equally at home in dive bars or Carnegie Hall, Ms. Whitehouse embraces many singing styles. Highlights include six summers in the chorus of the Bard SummerScape Operas, The Verdi Requiem in Verbier Switzerland under James Levine, the lounge at the North Bergen NJ Holiday Inn, and the Brick Church choir in Manhattan, where she met Agueda, Cathy and Tonna. As long as she's singing, she's happy!

The Logan Heights Gang, also known as Varrio Logan Heights or LH, is a Sureño street gang based in Southeast San Diego.
The Logan Heights Gang was established in Southeast San Diego, when several individual Mexican-American street gangs from the neighborhoods of Barrio Logan, Logan Heights, and Memorial unified. The gangs date back to car clubs in the 1970s. Currently the gang is composed of five main subsets (Red Steps, 30th Street, 33rd Street, Logan Heights 13) that operate within these neighborhoods. There is also a small subset called Logan Heights Clicka that operates within the Colina del Sol neighborhood of the City Heights district in San Diego.
Although they are based in San Diego, the influence of the gang has spread to other cities in the United States (Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Denver, Minneapolis, and Lakewood, Washington) and Tijuana, Mexico. Membership is not restricted to Mexican-Americans, and the gang has included Mexican nationals, members from other Hispanic cultures, and Native Americans.
The Logan Heights Gang has been an ally to the Tijuana Cartel (also known as the Arellano-Félix Organization) over the Tijuana smuggling route to the border city of San Diego, California. This alliance began on November 8, 1992, when Héctor Palma Salazar ("Guero"), struck out against the Tijuana Cartel at a disco in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco. Although eight Tijuana Cartel members were killed in the shootout, the Arellano-Félix brothers successfully escaped from the location with the assistance of Logan Heights gangster David "D" Barron.
In retaliation, Tijuana Cartel, with the LHG as their hired gunmen, attempted to set up Guero's partner, Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo"Guzmán Loera, at Guadalajara Airport on May 24, 1993. In the ensuing shootout, the LHG killed six civilians.
Among the casualties was the Roman Catholic Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo. The church hierarchy originally believed Posadas had been targeted as revenge for his strong stance against the drug trade. However, Mexican officials believe Posadas just happened to be caught in cross fire. The Cardinal had arrived at the airport in a white Mercury Grand Marquis town car, known to be popular amongst drug barons, making it a target. Intelligence received by Logan Heights gang leader David "D" Barron was that Guzmán would be arriving in a white Mercury Grand Marquis town car. This explanation, however, is often countered due to Ocampo's having been wearing a long black cassock and large pectoral cross, as well as his having shared no similarity in appearance with Guzmán, and Ocampo's having been gunned down from only two feet away.
The Logan Heights Gang also has close ties to the Mexican Mafia.[citation needed]
Enemies of the gang include several San Diego County gangs (most notably Barrio Sherman, Varrio Shelltown, and Old Town National City), and Los Angeles gangs from Van Nuys and North Hollywood.[citation needed]
In popular culture
In 2010, Logan Heights along with nearby Southeast San Diego neighborhood, Lincoln Park, was featured on The History Channel's Gangland television series. The show documented the Logan Heights Gang in the Season 6 episode titled "The Assassins," which first aired on February 19, 2010.
The gang, its ties to the cartel, and many of the above-mentioned events are depicted in the 2017 Netflix and Univision series El Chapo and season three of the Netflix series Narcos: Mexico.

Change of political climate re: climate change
There'll be a change in climate change politics in the U.S.
By Harry Fuller for GreenTech Pastures | December 22, 2008 -- 14:43 GMT (06:43 PST) | Topic: CXO
There'll be a change in climate change politics in the U.S. effective January 21, 2009. Environmental advocates are pointing to a line-up of strong scientifically-trained appointees, in contrast to the current administration where politics consistently trumped science. Some of the promises made during the campaign by the Obama team: 5 million greentech jobs and investing $150 billion in the next decade to build an energy economy that relies on renewable sources such as wind, solar and geothermal energy. That would be sold politically as American energy independence. I've seen no estimates that indicate alternative energy would replacing oil at more than a few percentage points per year. The Saudis don't need to worry about their oil exports any time soon.
I've blogged about the Obama nominations to cabinet and agency chief jobs. It clearly indicates a willingness to take action on climate change, instead of simply talking as the US government has the past eight years. There has been discussion of actual emission mandates. Anathema during the Bush-Cheney reign. The U.S. never signed the current climate change agreement, the Kyoto Protocol. A new agreement is due in the next two years.
How radical will the change be? Compare the current Energy Secretary, a former Texas industrial exec, with the Obama choice, a Nobel Prize physicist. Could it be that science might get equal footing with corporate profit in Washington's political calculus? Can the fossil fuel lobbyists derail any attempts at climate change legislation at the national level? Will California and New York State finally get to enforce their higher fuel efficiency laws?
The nominated Energy Department boss, Dr. Chu, was quoted last year, "If I were emperor, I would put the pedal to the floor on energy efficiency and conservation." Well, he's not emperor but he sure has more clout than he did running a university lab, or even winning a Nobel Prize. Just pushing the federal government to make its own buildings and practices more efficient could be a huge plus for the planet and greentech companies.
At the end of Fiscal Year 2006, Department of Energy real property holdings totalled over 830 thousand acres of owned land and over 122 million square feet of owned buildings. That'slone of the smaller gederal departments. Imagine all the buildings controlled by the Pentagon, or Post Office, or Social Security. Imagine them energy efficient.

The past few months have seen a lot of interesting developments and events. We can safely say that the freethought community is growing and exchanging information at a more rapid pace than previously. Here is a quick recap of some events from the recent past.
Meera Nanda's highly anticipated latest book, 'The God Market' is available in book stores in India from Random House. It has been published only in India, but is available online here.
We have a new contributor to Nirmukta, Dr Vinod Wadhawan, the Raja Ramanna Fellow at the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai. Dr Wadhawan brings a scientific perspective to our work here.
Some depressing news: Basava Premanand (see our articles on him here, here and here) has been battling cancer over the past two years. His condition has deteriorated recently. If you have anything you'd like to say to him, please send your messages to us. Premanand has dedicated his life to spreading rational thinking and his last wishes of building the Methods of Science museum is becoming a reality, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated few. Let us honor this great man for all he has done for secularism in India.
The nirmukta group on facebook has been growing steadily. The nature of the medium restricts excessive discussion on the facebook group page, but it is a great place to see other readers of Nirmukta and to meet prospective secular friends!
We have been using twitter sparingly to post news and developments concerning the freethought community in India. Perhaps we will start using this medium more often.
