# Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri

"**Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri/Kamisama, Hotokesama**" (Japanese: 長く短い祭／神様、仏様, "No verão, as noites / God, nor Buddha") is Ringo Sheena's 15th single and her 2nd double A-side single. It was released on 31 July 2015 by Universal Music Japan.

## Background and development

"Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" was used in advertisements for Coca-Cola Japan's 2015 summer campaign. "Kamisama, Hotokesama" was used as an TV commercial jingle for the au smartphone "isai vivid" manufactured by LG Electronics, in which Sheena also stars in the commercial.

A picture of the Nebuta Matsuri was used for the album artwork of the single.

Sheena sings two duets in both songs with two of her close male musician friends: Ryosuke Nagaoka, also known as Ukigumo (former member of Tokyo Jihen) in "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" and Shutoku Mukai for "Kamisama, Hotokesama".

## Music video

Both videos for "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" and "Kamisama, Hotokesama" are directed by Yuichi Kodama. The video of "Nagaku Mijikai Matsuri" is inspired by the song theme "the summer of woman’s life". The first video shows an impatient heroine interspersed with scenes of Sheena and Ukigumo singing a duet together. The session musicians who played the song at the recording session there also appear on the "Kamisama, Hotokesama" video, where they play as spectres of the "Hyakki Yagyō".

Both music videos were released in full on 31 July 2015 at Ringo Sheena's YouTube channel.

# Roger Brent

**Roger Brent** (born December 28, 1955) is an American biologist known for his work on gene regulation and systems biology. He studies the quantitative behaviors of cell signaling systems and the origins and consequences of variation in them. He is Full Member in the Division of Basic Sciences at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and an Affiliate Professor of Genome Sciences at the University of Washington.

## Early life

Brent grew up in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and received his BA in Computer Science and Statistics from the University of Southern Mississippi, where he applied AI techniques to protein folding. He performed PhD (1982) and postdoctoral work (1985) in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology at Harvard University in the laboratory of Mark Ptashne. In work there he cloned the E. coli LexA repressor and showed how it controlled the cell's response to DNA damage, used LexA as a repressor in yeast, and created fusion proteins that used LexA to bring portions of yeast Gal4 and other transcription regulatory proteins to synthetic reporter genes in yeast. These domain swap experiments established the domain structure of eukaryotic transcription regulatory proteins.

## Career

Brent's use of prokaryotic repressor proteins in eukaryotes, and development of chimeric proteins containing prokaryotic DNA binding domains, enabled identification of other transcription regulatory domains and gene regulatory technologies including tetracycline-repressor controlled transcriptional repression and the Gal4 and LexA UAS systems used in other model organisms. The use of DNA binding domains to target tethered functional protein domains (for example double strand endonucleases and DNA methylases ) or bait moieties in two-hybrid experiments to defined sites on DNA is now routine.

In 1985, Brent moved to the Department of Molecular Biology at Massachusetts General Hospital and the Department of Genetics at Harvard Medical School. His work there contributed to two-hybrid methods and to development of large scale/ general purpose functional genomic means (interaction mating and development of peptide aptamers) to detect and disrupt protein-protein interactions. In 1997, with Sydney Brenner he helped establish the Molecular Sciences Institute, a nonprofit research laboratory in Berkeley, California, and became its CEO, research director and president in 2001. He initiated his lab's studies on cell signal control and cell-to-cell variation there. He is now a Professor of Basic Sciences at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and an Affiliate Professor of Genome Sciences and Bioengineering at the University of Washington.

Brent's work pursues two main questions: how cell signaling systems control their signals and the information those transmit and the origins and phenotypic consequences of cell-to-cell variation in signaling and subsequent responses.

In 1987, Brent help found, and continues to contribute to, *Current Protocols in Molecular Biology*, a "how to clone it manual" which started the Current Protocols journals. From 1995 to 2000 he organized the "After the Genome" workshops in Santa Fe, whose content contributed to some of the early systems biology agenda. In addition to customary advisory work with NIH, NSF, and industrial organizations, in 1997 he began to advise the US government on tactical and strategic considerations for defense against biological attack and emerging diseases. In 1998, at the Molecular Sciences Institute, he participated in discussions with Rob Carlson and Drew Endy that helped develop some of the ideas underpinning synthetic biology. From 2011 to 2014 he directed the Center for Biological Futures, an experimental effort to better understand the impacts of advances in biological knowledge and capability on human affairs.

He has been a scholar of The Pew Charitable Trusts and a senior scholar of the Ellison Medical Foundation. In 2003 he shared the Gabbay Award in Biotechnology and Medicine for his work on protein interaction methods, and in 2011 he was named a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science "for outstanding contributions in the area of biochemistry, transcription, genomics, and systems biology."

Brent's use of prokaryotic repressor proteins and use of them in chimeric proteins to regulate gene expression in eukaryotes was the subject of basic patents (including U.S. patent 4,833,080, Regulation of Eukaryotic Gene Expression, with Mark Ptashne). Dr. Brent is the inventor on 16 additional US patents and four pending US patents.

## Personal

In 2006, Brent married biologist and 2004 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine laureate Linda B. Buck.

title: Nicole Diar

abstract: Nicole Diar, born July 21, 1975, is an American woman convicted of the August 27, 2003 murder of her 4-year-old son, Jacob. Prosecutors argued that Diar suffocated her son before setting the house on fire, though the exact cause of Jacob's death was never determined because his body was too badly burned. The jury sentenced her to death. In 2008, the Ohio Supreme Court upheld her conviction but overturned the sentence on the basis that the jury was not informed that a single vote could prevent her from receiving the death penalty. On June 3, 2010, she was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Nicole Diar was convicted in 2005 of charges she killed her 4-year-old son, Jacob Diar. Jacob Diar's burned remains were found inside of their house in Lorain, Ohio after a house fire that occurred in 2003. Nicole Diar was able to run out of the house to safety but her son was left inside. Diar claimed she tried to save her son from his upstairs bedroom but the smoke was too much. The officers that morning said Diar did not have any soot or smell strongly of smoke as she would if she had tried to save her son during the fire. Jacob's autopsy could not determine cause of death but did suggest that he died before the fire was started due to the lack of soot and evidence of smoke inhalation in his lungs. Judge Kosma Glavas sentenced Diar to the death penalty after it was suggested by the Ohio jury in October 2005. The Ohio Supreme Court overturned her death sentence in 2008 because the Jury was not told ahead of time that just one of them could have changed her death sentence by refusing to consider execution. Diar suggested a bargain to prosecutors where she agreed to spend her life in prison and avoid future legal challenges if her death sentence is overturned. Nicole Diar herself was a burn victim from the age of 4. She suffered burns when her nightgown caught fire and ended up going through a total of 61 surgeries until she was 18. From this, she continued to receive a sum every month of $3,000 from a lawsuit against the pajama company. Diar would often leave Jacob at home with young, teen babysitters so she could go out to bars and parties for the night. One babysitter, Luis Agosto, recalls being told to give Jacob a "medicine for his hyperactivity" so he would get tired and go to sleep decently early. Agosto didn't question it and gave medication to Jacob and his cousin Taylor, daughter of Rebecca Diar. The two friends of Agosto who were also there that night read the label and pointed out that the medication he gave to the children was Tylenol 3 with codeine prescribed to Taylor. When they informed Diar of this incident, she brushed it off and said Jacob would be okay. Destiny Faulkner also babysat Jacob and could also recall being told to give Jacob this medicine on multiple occasions during the summer of 2003. Faulkner only gave Jacob the medication twice when told but did not on the last time because he was not ill. A pharmacist at the trial confirmed that it was a prescription for Taylor Diar of acetaminophen with codeine. The side effects of this medication can cause drowsiness, upset stomach, and nausea. Nicole and Jacob Diar had been living in an apartment and had recently moved into a rental home in the same town a month prior to the incident. The landlord recalls putting in new smoke detectors and replaced batteries in remaining ones throughout the home before they moved in. On the night of August 26, 2003, Diar wanted to change her locks on her home due to a break-in she told her landlord about. She claimed someone broke into her house and stole the keys and money orders she was supposed to use to pay the rent for that month. Due to that she got help from her neighbor, Leroma Penn, to change her front doorknob lock and add a deadbolt to the backdoor. Diar purposely told Penn to refrain from changing the strike plate on the front door. Although it was sticking, causing trouble opening the door, she wanted to be able to hear if an intruder was trying to get in. Leroma stayed afterwards to have a couple drinks with Diar at her house and went home at 1:00 am. Leroma stated that as she was leaving, Diar went to lay down on the couch with Jacob who had been sleeping there. Leroma said they made plans to do some shopping together in the morning so she called Diar at about 8:00 am but there was no answer. Leroma then heard Diar screaming about an hour after she tried calling. She ran outside to see what was going on and found Diar screaming in front of her house that her house was on fire and could not find Jacob.

# Roeding Park

**Roeding Park** is a 90-acre (360,000 m2) regional city park in Fresno, California established in 1903 via a gift from the Roeding family.

The Fresno Chaffee Zoo occupies approximately one third of the acreage in the middle of the southern half of the park. The southwest corner includes Storyland, Playland and a lake between them. The rest of the park includes several ponds, groves of ash, cedar, pine, and eucalyptus, maple, and redwood trees as well as picnic areas, tennis courts and a Southern Pacific train engine. The park also has a Japanese War Memorial.

## History

Roeding Park was a gift of Frederick and Marianne Roeding to the City of Fresno on May 2, 1903. The gift of 70 acres of land came with the stipulations that it be used for a public park and that the city spend $3,500 per year, for ten years, improving it. On April 7, 1908, the Roedings donated an additional 46 acres. Sixteen years later, on January 2, 1924, the City of Fresno purchased an additional 40 acres from the Roedings, bringing park's total size to 159 acres.

Landscape architect Johannes Reimers from Stockton, California, was retained to design the park, for the sum of $300. By the end of 1906, the park had been planted with trees and by 1910, a hard surface had been applied to the roads inside the park. The Fresno Traction Company constructed a Roeding Park branch line, completed in 1912, to transport visitors there by trolley.

A zoo component was added in the 1920s, and grew substantially over time. Members of Fresno's Rotary club raised funds to build Playland amusement park in 1955, and Storyland was added in 1962.

From 1954 to 1996, Roeding Park hosted the reconstructed in Fort Miller Blockhouse, which was the oldest structure in Fresno County, dating from 1851. It had been dismantled and moved from the Friant Dam area. While in Roeding Park, it was re-dedicated as the Fort Miller Blockhouse Museum where relics of early Fresno County history and other exhibits are contained in the building, which is listed on the local register of historic places.

In July 2009, Page & Turnbull inventoried and evaluated Roeding Park as a historic district as part of the Roeding Park and Fresno Chaffee Zoo Facility Master Plans Draft Environmental Impact Report. Accordingly, Roeding Park is identified as meeting National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) Criteria A and C and California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) Criteria 1 and 3 in the areas of Entertainment/Recreation, Community Planning & Development, and Landscape Architecture. The district contains 25 contributing resources and the period of significance was 1903–1953. A qualified Architectural Historian meeting the Secretary of Interior Professional Qualification Standards conducted the 2009 Roeding Park survey.

## Features

### Theme Parks

The park houses Playland, an amusement park operated by local area rotary clubs and Storyland, a theme park with a fairy tale theme. Storyland is geared toward younger children. The park has a series of interactive scenes from well-known stories and fairy tales. Transportation between the two amusement parks is provided in the form of a miniature train powered by a steam-outline locomotive (a diesel locomotive made to look like a steam locomotive). During the summer, a troupe of local students performs plays at an amphitheater in the park based on fairy tales. The two parks underwent massive renovation in 2016, in order to repair and modernize their amenities and attractions.

### Zoo

The Chaffee Zoo received a big break with the passing of Measure Z, which added a tenth of a cent city sales tax benefiting the zoo. Along with the tax, the zoo has changed from being city operated to being run by a private nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. The land, exhibits and animals themselves are still owned by the City of Fresno but leased to the Fresno's Chaffee Zoo Corp.

The tax allowed for the hiring of Donna Fernandes from the Buffalo Zoo as the new director in 2005, but she left after only 3 months to return to her previous job. Lewis Greene, from the Virginia Zoo, was then hired as director in 2006 and secured an extension of AZA accreditation. Major changes and improvements at the zoo are in store in the upcoming years although the descendants of the original Roeding family are threatening a lawsuit if the zoo attempts to expand further into the park donated to the city by their ancestors for the purpose of a "public park."

# Rosalie Fahey

**Rosalie Fahey** is a Paralympic equestrian competitor from Australia. She won a bronze medal at the 2000 Sydney Games in the Mixed Dressage – Championship grade I event.

## Personal

Fahey was born in Adelaide, South Australia. From as long as she can remember, Fahey loved horses but was not given opportunity to begin riding until the age of 11 when she was given her first horse. She then went on to join the Pony Club in Adelaide, competing in eventing, dressage and show jumping. Since the age of twelve Fahey has had serious Crohn's disease but continued to ride until her early 20s, until complications, caused her to be hospitalised for 9 months. After multiple surgeries she developed a subsequent muscle myopathy which resulted in her being in a wheelchair for a time and for eight years Fahey was forced to give up riding. Prior to the onset of the muscle myopathy, Fahey had been a professional dancer. During her years of forced retirement from riding, Fahey studied music and teaching at the University of Melbourne. She then went on to become a teacher and professional musician – mastering twelve instruments. Fahey was inspired, from a very young age, to represent Australia at the Olympic Games, after being told of a relative, John Fahey, who represented Australia in show jumping at the 1964 and 1968 Olympics. After struggles with significant illness and disability Fahey changed her lifelong directional plans and instead of becoming an Olympian, she says she became "a very proud Australian Paralympian".

## Sporting career

In 2000, at the 2000 Summer Paralympics Fahey won bronze in the mixed dressage championship grade 1 and also competed in both the mixed dressage freestyle grade 1 and team open where Australia placed in overall fifth position. Fahey competed at the 2003 World Cup in Belgium, placing seventh in the Individual Grade 1b Para Equestrian Dressage and competed as a member of the Australian team. In 2008, she sustained severe spinal injuries as a result of a show jumping accident. Fahey went on to win silver in the Canadian FEI 3\* in 2010. In 2011, Oceania FEI 3\* Fahey won the gold medal on a last minute "catch ride" (Sienna Taylor Made loaned by Morgan Webb Liddle) after her own horse was scratched on the first day of competition. This competition was held in conjunction with the Saddleworld Dressage Festival.

# NSL (company)

**NSL** is an outsourcing company formed in Spring 2007 by the demerger of NCP into two separate businesses. It provides parking services, bus and coach operations, city centre CCTV monitoring, back office processing, streetscape consultancy and debt recovery.

The company first demerged as NCP Services in 2007, and became NSL Services Group in April 2009. In January 2017 NSL was acquired by Marston Holdings.

## Services

### Passenger transport

NCP Challenger commenced trading on 12 November 2005, having successfully tendered to operate routes 33 and 419 under contract to Transport for London.

In April 2009, NCP Challenger was rebranded NSL Buses. On 13 November 2009, NSL buses was sold to Transdev with operations taken over by its London United subsidiary.

### Patient transport

NSL patient transport includes services for non-emergency, high-dependency, bariatric and secure/mental health patients. NSL is the largest private non-emergency patient transport provider in the UK, transporting over 2m patients to and from their appointments every year. NSL is a member of the Independent Ambulance Association (IAA).

It was chosen by NHS Kent and Medway in January 2013 to provide non-emergency patient transport.

### Other services

NSL also provide a number of other services. These include:

* Park and ride sites in Oxford and Durham.
* Planning and designing "streetscapes" through its consultancy arm, Project Centre.
* Traffic rule enforcement, parking and traffic attendants.
* Care services: patient transfers to the NHS.

## Criticism

At a January 2012 employment tribunal, NSL was described as "predatory and dishonest".

NSL has been subject to investigation into unfair practices by Channel 4's Cutting Edge programme.

Westminster Council CEOs (outsourced to NSL) have also been filmed using illegal tactics to block cars.

In January 2014 The Care Quality Commission (CQC) said the service did not meet mandatory standards in four out of five areas. It found patients had experienced long waits and some staff had not undergone criminal record checks. In April 2014 the clinical commissioning groups in Kent agreed to provide an extra £1.6m for their contract as part of a "last chance" deal to improve its performance. Ian Ayres, chief officer for West Kent Clinical Commissioning Group, which manages the contract on behalf of eight CCGs in Kent and Medway told the Kent County Council Scrutiny Committee; "the information which was available to commissioners drawing up the invitation to tender was incomplete, and therefore so was the specification."

title: NEEM Camp

abstract: NEEM Camp was a small research facility on the northern Greenland Ice Sheet, used as a base for ice core drilling. It was located about 313 km east of the closest coast, Peabody Bay in northern Greenland, 275 km northwest of the historical ice sheet camp North Ice, and 484 km east-northeast of Siorapaluk, the closest settlement. There was one heavy-duty tent for accommodation of the researchers during summer. Access was by skiway. The acronym NEEM stands for North Greenland Eemian Ice Drilling. The ice at the NEEM coring location was predicted to be 2545 m thick. Drilling started at NEEM in June 2009 and drillers expected to hit bedrock in 2010. The drilling progressed well and reached through the brittle zone in mid-July 2009. The plan was to process the ice below the brittle zone, per decision at the steering committee meeting in November 2008 in Copenhagen. By September 1, 2009, the coring had reached 1757.84 m for this season, setting a single-season deep ice core drilling record in 100 days. On July 26, 2010, drilling reached bedrock at 2537.36 m. The November/December 2007 issue of MIT Technology Review magazine and its website carried a report on early efforts to establish this camp. The research goal is to seek preserved ice from the Eemian, which included a warming period in Earth's history. After the conclusion of the drilling activities, the machinery and dome of the NEEM camp was moved to a new location in the NEEM-EastGRIP traverse, forming the EastGRIP camp at location 75.63°N 35.99°W in 2015.

The Nagila dance is a solo act in which the dancer stamps his feet on the ground in a rhythmic motion and in interaction with the drums.

## Movement

A Nagila dancer who takes center bends his or her upper body forward such that his hips and thigh form a right angle. The dancer then holds his or her elbows in front or behind and stamps his or her feet on the ground in a rhythmic pattern. A dancer  usually dances for 30 seconds after which the musical instruments play for a while. To signal that a dancer is ready to resume dancing, the drums sounds louder.  The dance is resumed this way for about six times after which a new dancer takes the center.

# NGC 2539

**NGC 2539** is an open cluster in the constellation Puppis, located at the north edge of the constellation. It was discovered by William Herschel on January 31, 1785. It is a moderately rich cluster and with little central concentration, with Trumpler class II1m.

## Characteristics

The diameter of the cluster based on the location of possible members is estimated to be 7.4 parsecs (24 light years). The core radius of the cluster is 1.98 parsecs (6.5 light years), while the tidal radius is 15.2 parsecs (50 light years) and represents the average outer limit of NGC 2539, beyond which a star is unlikely to remain gravitationally bound to the cluster core. 151 stars, probable members of the cluster, are located within the central part of the cluster and 455 probable members are located within the angular radius of the cluster. 19 Puppis, visible near the edge of the cluster is a foreground star. The turn-off mass of the cluster is at 3.1 . The metallicity of the cluster is 0.14, higher than the solar one. The age of the cluster has been estimated to be as high as 630 myrs.

Mermilliod and Mayor studied 11 red giants within the cluster, the brightest of which was mag 9.509 and of spectral type K5I-II, and two non-members. Three of this stars were found to be spectrographic binaries, while further studies indicated that one of them is a triple system. Two more are suspected double stars. Further studies revealed seven variable stars, 5 eclipsing binaries, one delta Scuti variable and one gamma Doradus variable, with the gamma Doratus variable star membership being questionable. From the eclipsing binaries, one is field star and in a further study one more eclipsing binary (specifically a W Ursae Majoris variable) was found to lie at the background.

title: Polydora ciliata

abstract: Polydora ciliata is a species of annelid worm in the family Spionidae, commonly known as a bristleworm. It is a burrowing worm and is found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and some other parts of the world.

text:
# Polydora ciliata

***Polydora ciliata*** is a species of annelid worm in the family Spionidae, commonly known as a **bristleworm**. It is a burrowing worm and is found in the northeastern Atlantic Ocean and some other parts of the world.

## Taxonomy

*Polydora ciliata* was first described in 1838 by the Scottish physician and naturalist George Johnston as *Leucodore ciliatus*, but was later placed in the genus *Polydora*. A planktonic organism was described as *Metadasydytes quadrimaculatus* in 1971 by Roch Roszczak, who placed it in the phylum Gastrotricha; it was later established that the animal he was describing was in fact the larval stage of a spionid worm, probably *Polydora ciliata*.

## Description

The species can grow to a length of about 30 mm (1.2 in) with around 180 segments. The front of the prostomium (head) has no eyes or antennae, but the hind part has a pair of long palps and up to four eyes. The multi-segmented body is broadest fairly near the front and then tapers gradually to the pygidium (terminal segment) which bears a funnel. Each segment bears parapodia (outgrowths) and chaetae (bristles), the ventral branches of the parapodia being triangular or finger-like, and these structures reducing in size towards the rear of the animal. On segment five, the bristles are specially modified for burrowing. Gills are present on all the segments beyond 7 except for the last 10 to 20 segments.

## Distribution and habitat

*P. ciliata* has a widespread distribution round the coasts of northwestern Europe. As a burrowing species, it tunnels into limestone; chalk and clay, calcareous algae, the holdfasts of seaweeds, wood, muddy sediment and mollusc shells, including those of oysters, mussels and periwinkles. It is also known from the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Black Sea, the Indo-Pacific and Antarctica.

## Ecology

The burrow of *P. ciliata* is U-shaped, and the presence of these worms can be recognised by the sets of small, double perforations they make. The worm is believed to burrow by abrading the substrate with its bristly chaetae, but there may also be some chemical action involved in burrowing. The tube is lined with mucus and fine grains of sediment and extends slightly above the surrounding material. When feeding, the worm extends its head out of the tube and uses its two long palps to feed on detritus. It has been observed feeding on dead barnacles and other small dead invertebrates, and can also filter plankton from the water.

The worms are either male or female; sperm is liberated into the water column and drawn into the burrow of the female by means of the respiratory current. Up to 60 eggs are enclosed in a capsule, and several capsules are suspended by threads inside the female's tube. The eggs hatch in about one week and are planktonic for up to six weeks before settling. When the worms bore into the shells of oysters, mussels and periwinkles, they do not feed on the mollusc's soft parts, but they weaken the shell and make the mollusc more vulnerable to attack by crabs and other predators.

# Merle A. Berman

**Merle A. Berman** (born 1946) is a former member of the Nevada Legislature. A member of the Republican Party, she was initially elected in 1996, and represented District 2 in the Nevada Assembly from 1997 to 2001. Upon completion of her Assembly term, she was appointed to the Nevada Commission on Ethics.

## Formative years and family

Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1946, Berman earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Pennsylvania State University.

She has worked in real estate and development.

She has one son, Ryan Hoffman. Her sister, Constance E. (Berman) Brooks, died from cancer in Pennsylvania on August 24, 1997.

## Political career

A member of the Republican Party, Berman represented District 2 in the Nevada Assembly, and was initially elected to her seat in 1996. She served in three regular sessions.

In 1999, she was a member of the following Assembly committees: Commerce and Labor, Government Affairs, and Health and Human Services.

On February 14 and April 12, 2001, she participated in the Field Hearing Before the Committee on Environment and Public Works, which was held by the U.S. Senate in Fallon, Nevada to investigate childhood leukemia clusters in that community. According to the minutes of that hearing, Berman pressed for answers to ascertain why certain individuals, but not others were selected for the panel of experts chosen to investigate the leukemia clusters and “why the Federal Government was not involved in the testing.” And on April 12, 2001:

> “Berman cited an upcoming bill dealing with the comprehensive cancer plan in Nevada. She specifically inquired whether her bill should be amended to address the need for expeditious identification and response to cancer clusters. \[Dr. Randall Todd, state epidemiologist, Nevada State Health Division\] replied that this would require additional thought and that his written response would follow after consultation with his colleagues.”

Berman also succeeded in obtaining this testimony from one of the medical experts in attendance:

> “\[Dr. Thomas Sinks, the associate director for science at the National Center for Environmental Health at the Centers for Disease Control\] clarified that nobody ever developed cancer because of chances. There was always a cause, and the challenge in Fallon would be to discover the common denominator among the 11 children. The unifying cause was not yet known, but eventually science would identify the commonality. The probability of the Fallon cluster being a chance event was described by Dr. Sinks as being unlikely.”

Berman then spoke on a different matter at a Nevada Legislature meeting later that same month. Stating that a number of groups claiming to be charitable organizations were misleading potential donors because they were actually for-profit businesses engaged in the exploitation of young children, she urged members of the Nevada Senate to support passage of Assembly Bill 74 during an April 25, 2001 meeting of the Nevada Senate Committee on Labor and Commerce. The proposed bill was designed to prohibit the employment of children under the age of sixteen in door-to-door sales of magazines, candy, and other products. As the debate continued, Berman noted that section 2, subsection 2, paragraph (d) of the proposed legislation would exempt farm workers from restrictions imposed by A.B. 74.

In 2003, she served on the Nevada Assembly’s Legislative Committee on Health Care, as well as on the non-legislative Advisory Council for Community Notification. Upon completion of her Assembly term, she was appointed to the Nevada Commission on Ethics.

In 2005, she announced that she would run for the office of secretary of state in Nevada in the 2006 election.

## Public service activities

Berman has also been involved with the following civic or social organizations:

* Active Republican Women’s Club of Las Vegas/National Federation
* American Legislative Exchange Council
* National Foundation for Women Legislators, Inc.
* Nevada Dance Theatre, board of directors
* Nevada Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND)
* Women’s Development Center, advisory board
