+ Sarasota's bourgeois beckoned for J. Lo film
The Internet has been a-Twitter with news that Jennifer Lopez is shooting a movie this week at the Ringling Museum.
And, yes, it's true — hundreds of Sarasotans will be in it.
The movie, "Parker," is a thriller based on a series of crime novels by writer Donald Westlake. Directed by Oscar winner Taylor Hackford ("Ray"), it stars Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez, Nick Nolte and Michael Chiklis.
Last week, R.J.'s Casting and Unique Casting Partners issued a call for 200 extras available for filming Sept. 28 to Sept. 30 at the Ringling Museum's Cà d'Zan mansion.
Sloppy 20-somethings, however, need not apply.
According to the missive, the movie wants only "high-end, wealthy, Palm Beach-types, ages 30 to 70" for a swanky fundraiser scene.
And, if that's not specific enough, it goes on to suggest that extras show up in "full-length ball gowns with coordinating fancy jackets. Shawls, purses that are clutches or small shiny handbags are great. Any undergarments — Spanx, strapless bras — nude and black — should be brought."
Got that?
Don't show up thinking there will be Spanx to spare. Even big-budget action flicks have to tighten the belt somewhere.
+ Lakewood Ranch rocker records second album
When singer/songwriter Matt Facciolla gets on a writing streak, watch out.
The musician penned 47 songs for his latest album, "Second Chances," which is slated for release in January. No wonder it took him a year-and-a-half to finish the project.
Facciolla, the former lead singer of the Electric Bushman, a Buffalo, N.Y.,-based band that in the 1990s opened for the Gin Blossoms and Jewel, is going the extra mile to make sure this album, his second as a solo artist, gains serious traction.
Earlier this year he flew home to Buffalo to mix his tracks at the Goo Goo Dolls' studio. This month, he went to Atlanta to master the album at Rodney Mills Masterhouse, a mastering engineer who has worked with Lynyrd Skynyrd, Rage Against the Machine and Pearl Jam, to name a few.
You can catch Facciolla at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8, at The Loft Ristobar. When he played the venue in February (with Dan Toler, former guitarist for the Allman Brothers Band, and Mike Logan, former harp player for Queenie and the King Bees) it was to a packed house.
+ Puppets open the Van Wezel season
Bad news: The New York Pops has canceled its December show at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall due to "unforeseen economic and logistical challenges."
Good news: "Stuffed and Unstrung," the salty adult-only puppet show by the Henson Alternative is still scheduled to open the fall season Wednesday.
Even better news: The hall has replaced its worn-out, 40-year-old seats with contour-padded, steel-supported seats from the same company that furnished the Kennedy Center, in Washington, D.C.
Using a grant from the Selby Foundation, the Van Wezel selected a five-person committee to test the quality and suitability of several seat companies before settling on Seating Concepts, which has also cushioned the rears of patrons at Notre Dame's DeBartolo Performing Arts Center and Fort Lauderdale's Broward Center for the Performing Arts.
According to a press release issued last week by the Van Wezel, the new seats are 20 to 22 inches wide and have serpentine springs, recessed cup holders, mahogany armrests and aubergine fabric. (Aubergine, by the way, is a fancy way of saying purple.)
So, get your tickets now. Who needs the New York Pops when you've got mouthy Muppets and a soft purple place to land?
'Jack and the Enchanted Beanstalk': This popular children's yarn, adapted by FST's favorite kids-at-heart, Beth Duda and Adam Ratner, is up now through November in the Gompertz Theatre. "Jack" kicks off the 20th season of FST's annual Write-A-Play program. For tickets, call 366-9000 or visit floridastudiotheatre.org.
Ballet luncheon with Matthew Hart: British ballet choreographer Matthew Hart chats with former prima ballerina Margaret Barbieri at the Friends of the Sarasota Ballet's monthly luncheon. Join Hart and Barbieri from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Oct. 3, at Michael's On East, as they discuss the American premiere of Hart's "Tchaikovsky's Ballet Fantasy," which opens Sarasota Ballet's 21st season Oct. 28, at the FSU Center for the Performing Arts. Tickets to the luncheon are $35. Reservations are required. Call 758-3911.

- Heidi,
I posted this last night after my first day's experience on the movie. Expecting today to be much waiting around punctuated by brief moments of strutting the ballroom in my sad "costume". Don't expect to see JLo or Jason anywhere near! LOL.
Well, I've just returned from the "Wardrobe Call" for female extras in Parker, the movie being shot at the C'a d 'Zan this week. What a demoralizing experience! What I thought was going to be a glam dress up party turned out to be like sale day at the old Loman's. First, they rejected all the fancy gowns I brought and gave me a black burka, two sizes too big. All around me in the common dressing room, skinny women were wriggling into peacock colored gowns with sexy necklines and shiny fabrics. When you go to see the movie next year, look for the matron in the old schmata who's hiding behind the flower pot. I feel like Margaret Dumont in Duck Soup!! Tomorrow, Part II.

PA., WEDNESDAY, MAY 18, 1921 Price 10 .Cento RED OVERIDES GREEN FIRST IN FIRST GAME OF FINALS Seniors Ahead in First Lap of Basket- Bali Championship - Fighting for every point with dogged persistence, 1921's first team crushed the Sophomores in the first game of the finals last Monday with the score of 25-13. 'Quicker and more accurate passing gave the lead to the Red in the first rush before 1923 was fully aroused to the situation. A. Clement's strong work at guard_ prevented further scoring by the Seniors for awhile � and scrappy playing ensued. Two pretty goals by R. Rice, '23, brought the score to 12-8 in favor of 1921 at the end of the first half. Vigorous work by E. Cecil, '21, combined � with clever evading of their opponents by the.forwards resulted in piling up the Red score at the opening of the second period. E. Taylor, '21, at guard, aided her team substantially, usually getting the ball after the toss-up. Although the Green defense was strong, its passing and shooting were disappointing, and its teamwork went down before 1921's precision and persistent** Line-up: � 1921 1923 E.

"ZORAIDA'S NECKLACE" HOLDS AUDIENCE SPELL-BOUND Gertrude Prokosch '24, and Walter Prokosch Present Tense Drama (By special correspondent.) Opening its doors for the first time on the Bryn Mawr campus, the puppet theatre, of which Gertrude Prokosch, '24, and Wal- ter Prokosch, are architects, scene painters, costumers and playwrights, last Thursday evening presented "Zoraida's Necklace," a thrilling five-act" drama.- The audience crowded to the very doors of O. � Pell's room, and was tense and hushed until the final curtain. The play was presented with- out any previous rehearsal, and gave ample evidence of the years of experience the producers'have behind them. Replete with dramatic moments, scene after scene revealed some new complica- tion to the gripping plot. The spectators were obviously moved by the "King s righteous cholera," and trembled as the heads-mans deadly ax descended on the villain's throafTGreat subtlety was shown ,in the opening scene, where Rene, after Precipitately falling in love with the beau- tiful beggar, girl of Baghdad, declares "you shall, you must marry me," and Zoraida tremblingly replies, "This is so sudden." SEVENTY-FIVE VOICE CHORUS RENDERS VARIED PROGRAM Mendelssohn Club Concert Help In . Gymnasium Last Saturday � Mixed choruses of seventy-five voices in from four to nine parts, and solos by Mr. Charles' W. Stahl made up the concert given" by the Mendelssohn Club of Phila- delphia in the gymnasium last Saturday night, ior the benefit of the'Music Com-, mittee of the Undergraduate Association. Under the leadership df Mr. N. Lindsay Norden the Mendelssohn Club gave a sim- ilar concert here last year. Throughput the whole - program, which varied widely, the singing was admirably coordinated. Both in the lighter songs like Spring, the Sweet Spring and the De'ls awd wi' the Exciseman and in more seri- ous numbers such as The Lord Said Unto My Lord and The Lee Shore, the blend of voices was unusually close, giving a unified effect of the greatest beauty. Although each number was- remarkable in itself, Horatio Parker's Come Away, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's Lee-Shore and Then Shall the Righteous Shine, by Miss Frances McCollin, were perhaps the most brilliant choruses,' with their massive imagination and taste were shown. Bro- eades and feathers, Rene's gold sword-belt, and the scarlet robe and tiny hat of the cardinal were excellently done and reached a truly professional level. Of the many charming scenes the Court of Lyonnes was perhaps the most splendid; the studio of the Astrologer of Baghdad was remarkable for its atmosphere and its effective color scheme. organ-lik.e chords, sustained high voices and delicate soft effects. The audience applauded In detail of scenery and costuming boTh-^j^ McCoiiin's composition until, the WOR8HIP OF TRUE GOD CURE FOR PRESENT EVILS SAYS DR. MERRILL "The Golden Calves of Today" were the subject of the Rev. William Pierson Mer- rill's talk in chapel on Sunday night. War, bolshevism, industrial conditions, amusements and recreations of doubtful worth are all, according to Doctor Merrill, the gollen calves or idols of today. "No one can say 'I am guiltless.' There is always something we might have done or might havevavoided doing.' The leaders of the movements we condemn are little more to blame than the mass; like Aaron, they have merely 'cast the gold of the people into the fire and there came out this calf.' Just as the punishment fell on the mass of the people in the time of Aaron, so will it fall on all who have sinned today. Where evil conditions have affected the common life all must bear the penalty. The Lord is plaguing all nations for the golden calf of Lenine and Trotsky." "We must get back to the worship of the true God," Doctor- Merrill said, "if we would get the world out of the terrible path it has gone in since the war. And not content with breaking the calf, put our resources and our hearts to building up the tabernacle. The real sin was the tem- per that forgot God. author, who was present, rose and bowed. An Eriskay-Love Lilt, a charming melwdy beautifully harmonized, was encored with enthusiasm. Duna was the best of the selectionslteung by Mr. Stahl, the soloist. His smooth, sweet tenor, though unemotional, was ad- mirably suited for the delicate melody. He was loudly encored. Though the concert was originally to be held in the Cloisters, threatening weather in the early part of the afternoon changed the arrangements. There were few people in the audience. DR. JEAN BAPTISTE BECK HOLDS THREE PROFESSOR8HIPS Dr. Jean Baptiste Beck, who until the end of last year was associate professor of Mediaeval French Literature at Bryn Mawr, and who this year has been assist- ant professor of French at the University of Pennsylvania, has recently been pro- moted to the rank of full professor of French jn the latter institution.

Discussion Questions
1. What kind of fellow was Joseph Needham? Talk about his genius and his unusual life-time interests. Does genius go hand-in-hand with eccentricity?
2. The Needhams' marriage survived intact until Dorothy died at the age of 92. How is it possible that Needham's marriage survived his life-long love affair with Lu-Gwei-djen?
3. Talk about Needham's heroic efforts behind the Japanese lines in China during World War II. Consider his travels to the Dunhuang Caves (where the world's first printed book had been discovered) and to Dujiangyan (the site of the ancient dam project). What part of his Chinese journey do you find most remarkable?
4. As a group, try to identify the many scientific and technological advances made by the Chinese. When were they developed...and how many years passed before their general adoption by Western society? What surprised you most?
5. Talk about Needham's disgrace during the 1950's. Was it deserved or not? What led Needham to believe that U.S. forces had dropped plague infested rodents on China during the Korean War? Why does Winchester believe Needham was wrong? Do you think it's possible that Needham was correct?
6. The first main question that arises from Needham's work is this: historically, what forces were at work in Chinese society that enabled it to invent so much so early on—and why did it stop for centuries?
7. The second question is what has prompted China's re-entry into the technological and industrial world—and what will the consequences be for the Chinese and the world? What does Winchester suggest...and what are your opinions?
8. In what way (if at all) does Winchester's book change your understanding of Chinese history and culture? What did you find most intriguing about this book?

The Philadelphia Museum of Art strives to build and maintain partnerships with community organizations, schools, and social service agencies, offering programs and educational opportunities that connect diverse communities with the Museum's rich collections and resources. Using the arts to support and strengthen community-based initiatives in youth development and arts education, the Museum reaches out to communities around the region to enhance and expand its mission of making art accessible to everyone.
Community Programs
For over 20 years, the Division of Education has developed many partnerships with cultural, educational and social service organizations to engage diverse audiences and create a social fabric of inclusion and civic responsibility. Thanks to grant funding, the Museum is able to offer free admission and transportation assistance to a limited number of Philadelphia community organizations. Free admission will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis.Learn More >>
Community Partnerships
The Division of Education maintains a long-term commitment to partner organizations to provide collaborative art programs and museum visits for neighborhood groups and families. All projects are created with community leaders to customize curriculum and develop programs that connect with the interests and needs of the community partner. The Division of Education also supports special short-term projects to provide art programs and museum visits themed in conjunction with special exhibitions at the Museum. Every year the Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service works collaboratively with the Global Citizen program to create service projects for young people at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. A recent partnership with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia provided a teaching artist for 12 weeks to work with HIV positive teens to create multimedia documentary projects in connection to their identity and the city of Philadelphia.Community Connections - Museum Tours
With the Community Connections Program, Education Staff work year round with community partners to customize free tours and projects so that each group can have a unique experience at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Each tour and workshop is planned in collaboration to introduce community groups to the museum's history, its mission and permanent collection while being reflective of the interests and activities of the community organization. All programs address inquiry based learning and critical thinking skills as guidelines.Teen Programs

The program also features a student art exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.Delphi ART FUTURES Program
The Art Futures Program pairs professional teaching artist with high school art programs. The artists spend 30 hours in residence working with the classroom art teachers and students to design and implement art projects that reflect both the classroom curriculum goals, and the particular expertise of the resident artist. Both the artist and the schools are selected through a competitive process. In addition to creating art in the classroom, the program features customized Museum tours and a juried student art exhibition at the Museum. Each year, Delphi Project Foundation provides funding for five Philadelphia public schools to participate in the program. The Philadelphia Museum of Art secures additional funding for five Philadelphia area Catholic schools to also participate in the Art Futures Program.Delphi Summer Teen Media Program
The Delphi Summer Teen Media Program provides unique training both in the visual arts and filmmaking. For six weeks during the summer, students work with professional filmmakers to learn camera techniques, acting exercises, script writing and film editing. The students create a portfolio of short films inspired by the Museum's collections, public works of art and current social issues. Once the films are complete, the students participate in film screenings at the Museum and in their community. Throughout the summer, the program also exposes the students to career opportunities in both the visual and media arts. The Museum currently partners with the Big Picture Alliance, Taller Puertorriqueño and Esperanza Academy Charter High School in the implementation of the Delphi Summer Teen Media Program.Curriculum-based Teaching Resources for the Classroom
The Delphi Project Foundation has supported the creation of a variety of teaching materials for use at all grade levels in the Philadelphia public schools. Based on the Museum's permanent collections, these resource kits include full color reproductions of works of art, background information, teacher guides with learning activities, posters and power point presentations. These teaching resources encourage all classroom teachers, not just art teachers, to use visual arts as part of their core curriculum instruction. Free to all Philadelphia public schools, they serve as pre-trip materials for classrooms visiting the Museum and as permanent classroom resources for classes that are unable to visit.

After saving games in the bigs, Hernandez is giving back
Listed at 6-foot-4 during his playing career, Roberto Hernandez stands over a crowd. His numbers stand out too: 17 years in the big leagues, 1,010 games pitched, 945 strikeouts, 667 games finished, 326 saves and a 3.45 ERA in 1,071.3 innings.
And on Monday with his family and a few of his Cooperstown Dreams Park players in tow from his home in St. Petersburg, Fla., he used his height to hang behind the others and allow them to see the treasures on display at the Hall of Fame.
Born in Puerto Rico and raised in Manhattan as a Mets fan, Hernandez appreciates the history of the game he played. He fondly remembers the Mets of the 1970s, including the 1973 NL Champs, but he often saw highlights of Roberto Clemente at Shea Stadium and his legendary countryman quickly became his favorite player.
Drafted by the Angels in 1986 before a 1989 trade sent him to the White Sox, Hernandez played in Chicago from 1991 to 2007. With the White Sox in 1992, he made his only other trip to Cooperstown for the Hall of Fame Game, playing against the Mets. But during his last trip, he spent virtually the entire time in the Doubleday bullpen, not entering the game.
So this time a trip through the Museum, where he saw Clemente's plaque and his 3,000th hit bat on display in ¡Viva Baseball!, led up to the behind-the-scenes tour. Among the artifacts the group was shown was Satchel Paige's biography – one in which the ageless wonder talked about pitching three scoreless innings against the Red Sox at 59 years of age, allowing a single hit to Carl Yastrzemski. Asked if he could get MLB hitters out at that age, the 47-year-old vet of 10 teams said no, but he might be able to right now, though he acknowledges hitters today are in better condition than they were, even when he was at his peak in the 1990s.
A two-time All-Star, Hernandez said his legs gave out on him, but his arm could possibly still go. Four times he led the AL in games finished, including twice when he had the most in the majors. When he racked up a career high 66 games finished in 1999, he finished second in saves with 43 to saves king Mariano Rivera's 45. The difference? Hernandez's Tampa Bay squad only won 69 games while Rivera's Yankees won 98.
"It wasn't easy. We had a good bullpen that year," Hernandez said. "Gimme 12 more wins and I beat Mo."
In 2005 he signed a one-year deal with the Mets, returning to his boyhood home in New York. In the offseason he signed with Pittsburgh, but at the trade deadline came back to Shea along with Oliver Perez in a deal that sent Xavier Nady to the Pirates.
"It was an honor to put on that uniform, when I played there for a year-and-a-half," he said.
Coming up, one of those Mets from his youth, Felix Millan, coached him in winter ball.
These days, it's all about giving back to the game for Hernandez – from his coaching, to mentoring players with his former team, the Tampa Bay Rays. The future may even hold a bigger role with the Rays as a special instructor of some sort. But for now, he's enjoying what he does, staying close to home and raising his grandson, whom he held during much of the tour while letting the others crowd around up front.
"It's very impressive to see the meticulous care taken at preserving our history," Hernandez said of the Hall of Fame after the tour. "It's very refreshing for (these kids) to see what we're talking about when we share our first hand knowledge."

WILSONVILLE, Ore., October 29, 2013 - Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the Calibre® PERC™ reliability verification product has been added to the TSMC9000 IP quality program. TSMC and Mentor Graphics jointly developed electrical checks to help improve IP dependability as part of the TSMC9000 qualification process. The companies are also collaborating on an offering that will allow IP partners to access TSMC9000-compliant checking on a per-use basis. This extends the capabilities customers enjoy today with the Calibre PERC product to TSMC's IP partners, enabling further pre-verification of third-party IP and increasing the coherence between customer and third-party IP reliability verification.
"The goal of TSMC9000 is not only to make IP easy to exchange and re-use within the TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) environment, but also to ensure dependability, quality and robustness for our customers," said Suk Lee, TSMC senior director, Design Infrastructure Marketing Division. "We have done extensive work with Mentor to define the initial reliability checks for TSMC9000, which will help identify design issues that could increase the risk of failures when circuits are operating in the field."
This IP quality initiative is built on top of EDA enablement collaboration between TSMC and Mentor Graphics in the past 12 months, automating reliability checks on previously non-checkable rules. With the offering of a new ESD/LUP checking deck from TSMC, early adopters of TSMC 28nm, 20nm, and 16nm technologies have enjoyed this unique reliability solution as the benefits of TSMC9000 are proliferated through the IP space.
Under the program, TSMC will provide IP Alliance partners with Calibre PERC rule decks that perform reliability checks designed to address customers' advanced circuit verification needs for electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical overstress (EOS), signals crossing multiple power domains, advanced ERC, and other reliability concerns. The Calibre PERC product was the platform selected for these checks because it provides advanced functionality by enabling checks that combine knowledge of both the physical layout and the netlist, which defines device types and connectivity.
In addition, Mentor will offer additional Calibre PERC service options to IP companies participating in TSMC9000. IP submitted to TSMC can also be provided to Mentor Graphics, where designated customer application engineers run the TSMC9000 checks using in-house datacenter facilities and provide the IP companies with reports indicating pass/fail results, along with pointers to any errors and hotspots.
"Working closely with TSMC, we've defined a program that makes advanced reliability checking available to all TSMC OIP IP Alliance partners," said Joseph Sawicki, vice president and general manager of the Design-to-Silicon division at Mentor Graphics. "This means that our mutual customers will be able to incorporate TSMC9000-qualified IP into their designs with a high confidence that those IP blocks will pass full-chip reliability checks at signoff."
TSMC will implement these initial checks in their TSMC9000 quality program starting with multi-project shuttles in early 2014. TSMC and Mentor will also be working to expand the number of checks offered to third-party IP providers in future releases tied to various process node updates.

LAS VEGAS — The essence of Saturday night's big fight has been lost in numbers and hyperbole.
That essence is as follows: For the last 15 years or so, boxing fans have seen Floyd Mayweather Jr. and his act. Now, they think they have a chance to see Mayweather flat on his back.
He has taken the art of brash arrogance to new heights. People don't mind seeing greatness. They just don't want to be told that they are seeing it, especially by the person they are seeing in the ring.
Amid an avalanche of quotes that has emanated from this never-ending parade of promotion is Mayweather's summary statement: "I'm better than them all."
And, in fact, he is.
The 44-0 record says that. The label given him by Forbes magazine as the richest athlete in the world says that. A beaten Oscar De La Hoya says that, as do images of Ricky Hatton, flat on his back, eyes rolling back; a game-but-battered Shane Mosley; a bewildered Victor Ortiz, getting thanks for his gesture of apology in the form of two legal sucker punches that sent him to the hospital.
Hope springs eternal, especially in boxing fans who hate Mayweather. And a young Mexican named Saul "Canelo" Alvarez represents their best hope in some time. He, too, is unbeaten, but his 42-0-1 has a much lesser resume of the vanquished than Mayweather's.
Still, in recent fights, Alvarez has shown hands of cement. That gives Mayweather haters the ultimate image of hope — Mayweather on his back, eyes closed, mouth blessedly shut.
Sadly, for these same people, Alvarez has also shown another body part that may contain some cement: His feet. This will not be a reprise of the tortoise and the hare, but the imagery isn't totally misguided, either.
The numbers for this boxing extravaganza at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, if final counts are close to predictions, are startling. They clearly indicate that, not only is boxing alive and well, but it is working out for the next New York Marathon.
•The arena sold out in an hour for this fight, according to Golden Boy Promotions' Chief Executive Richard Schaefer. That was 16,500 seats and a record $20 million.
•The pay-per-view sales record is 2.5 million buys, for Mayweather versus De La Hoya, 2007. Mayweather-Alvarez has a decent chance to beat that record and almost certainly will top Mayweather-De La Hoya in revenue, because the price Saturday is $64.95 ($74.95 for high definition). That's $15 to $25 higher than the '07 price.
Stephen Espinoza, head of Showtime's sports division, warned boxing fans to get their pay-per-view orders in early so they don't get caught "on hold with operators." It was like he was selling Dodgers World Series tickets.
•Promoters say they have sold 25,000 seats in Las Vegas for closed-circuit telecasts at other MGM properties. That's at $100 a pop. They also say more than 500 theaters around the U.S. are doing the same thing, although at less than $100, and that the fight will be seen in 162 countries in that same closed-circuit format.
•A website that tracks secondary ticket markets, seatgeek.com, says that as of Thursday, this fight is driving the highest boxing resale price ever, at $2,028. It said that the average price for floor seat resale is $10,629 and one seat went for $23,554. By comparison, Game 7 of this year's NBA Finals in Miami had a ticket resale average of $1,014, or exactly half of this fight.
•Mayweather has been guaranteed $41.5 million, and that's before final pay-per-view numbers. At a Wednesday news conference, Mayweather seemed to take exception to that paltry $41.5 million. "It'll be more like $100 million," he sniffed.
•Then, perhaps the most important numbers of all: Mayweather, age 36; Alvarez, 23.
That, along with the cement hands, is the basis of hope for Mayweather haters.
If Mayweather wins, as expected, he will still have four more fights on his plate, as per a contract with Showtime reported to be worth $200 million. If he loses to Alvarez, there is a rematch clause. All indications are that would be another license to print money. There is no rematch clause for Alvarez if he loses.
Boxing is at a turning point, but then, boxing is always at a turning point.
A Mayweather victory pretty well eliminates all arguments about who is the face of the sport. Golden Boy would have to revisit its commitment to push Alvarez as the next De La Hoya. Or, as Grantland writer Jay Caspian Kang labeled the red-headed, freckled-faced Alvarez in a recent lengthy feature, The Great Red Hype.
Manny Pacquiao has lost his last two fights, and Top Rank's Bob Arum has taken that show to China. Andre Ward, also a legitimate challenger to Mayweather's top-gun status, labors in a weight division (super middleweight) and promotions out of the mainstream.
All of this changes, of course, if Alvarez applies cement hands to Mayweather's chin.
But until then, this is Floyd Mayweather's world and the rest of us are just living in it.

Self-renewal and senescence in iPS cells derived from patients with a stem cell disease
Self-renewal and senescence in iPS cells derived from patients with a stem cell disease
Funding Type:
Basic Biology II
Grant Number:
Award Value:
Disease Focus:
Blood Disorders
Stem Cell Use:
iPS Cell
Embryonic Stem Cell
Cell Line Generation:
iPS Cell
Public Abstract:
The discovery of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell technology promises to revolutionize our understanding of human disease and to allow the development of new cellular therapies for regenerative medicine applications. The ability to reprogram a patient's fibroblasts to iPS cells creates the opportunity to expand human cells with a specific genetic defect and to study that defect in a defined cell population, either to understand the basic biology of the disease or to study potential therapeutics. Furthermore, the genetic defects in iPS cells can be repaired and the iPS cells used as a source for cellular therapies after differentiation to specific cell lineages. Although tremendous strides have been made in recent years in treating human disease, replacing damaged tissue remains almost completely beyond our grasp. Harnessing human iPS stem cells for this purpose will open completely new areas of regenerative medicine. However, a limited understanding of iPS cell self-renewal and differentiation is a major roadblock in realizing this long-term goal.
One shared characteristic of iPS cells and adult stem cells that reside in many of our tissues is the ability to self-renew. Self-renewal is the ability of a stem cell to divide and give rise to a daughter cell that is undifferentiated and capable of giving rise to all the same lineages as the parent stem cell. Senescence pathways – pathways that cause dividing cells to permanently stop dividing – represents a significant barrier in the reprogramming process to engineer new iPS cells. Understanding how iPS cells self-renew is critical for determining how to maintain these cells, how to differentiate them toward specific tissue lineages and how to expand more committed stem cells or progenitor cells in cell culture.
In this proposal, we investigate the molecular mechanism of self-renewal and senescence in human iPS cells using skin cells isolated from patients with a defect in the enzyme telomerase. Telomerase is an enzyme complex expressed in embryonic stem cells, some tissue stem cells and in almost all human cancers. Most differentiated cells lack telomerase expression. Telomerase adds DNA repeats to structures at the ends of our chromosomes, termed telomeres. Telomeres are very important in protecting chromosome ends and in preventing chromosome ends from breaking down or sticking to other ends inappropriately. By maintaining telomeres, telomerase supports the ability of stem cells to divide a large number of times. People with telomerase mutations develop a stem cell disease – dykeratosis congenita. In this disease, patients have defects in skin, blood and lung – tissues that depend on tissue stem cell function to maintain these organs during life. We will reprogram skin cells from dyskeratosis patients to understand how senescence responses limit iPS cell self-renewal and differentiation to specific cell lineages.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This proposal will benefit California and its citizen in two general ways. First, I have recruited new scientists to California from Texas and from Brazil to work on this proposal. These are new taxpayers and consumers, which will benefit local businesses. They would have been less likely to come to California in the absence of the CIRM program and its strong emphasis on human stem cell biology. Second, this novel grant will generate new intellectual property in the form of patents. These patents may in fact be licensed to California companies or be used to support the formation of new start-up companies. The growth of such companies has historically fueled much of the profound growth in California. The future of California is linked to new technologies in the stem cell, biotechnology and other technology.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Elliott_Sound_Review Excellent value - Great Battery Life - Recommended
The LG Tone (HBS700) is an excellent product. I have used these almost every day for the past 1-2 years without any problems. The battery life is way better than any other products I have tested. Additionally the sound quality is pretty good, in fact, I would say very good when considering these are bluetooth.
I use these for working out, making calls, and while mowing the grass in my yard.
Also note, for music, you can give the sound a boost in quality by holding down the + and - volume buttons for a couple of seconds. I didn't know about this boost until I had these for over 6 months and was quite pleased with the added punch that was delivered.
I know there are other products (even updates from LG) on the market but for my money, these are awesome. I haven't seen (or heard) a bluetooth headset that has this good of battery life and happens to also sound good for this price.
Highly recommended!

Rated 4 out of 5 Excellent Bluetooth Headset
The sound quality is great especially when you consider that it is a Bluetooth headset. Pairing is fast and easy. There are only 2 issues. The mic has an issue with wind noise while on calls with other people they have complained. The Bluetooth is also sensitive to any obstructions including your body. So if I hold my phone in my hand while walking; while on the back swing the headset will disconnect.
I loved this headset so much I bought my fiancée one and she loves it too. Just know that it is not 100% perfect yet.

Wish black had been available but I got white which is OK but shows crud quickly. My ear canals are very small for an adult so I bought BudLoks which secures them in my ear. Nice to be wireless and listen to podcasts and music and be able to answer phone without a big hassle.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jdam224 Best Bluetooth I've ever owned!
Very simple to use and I love the fact that you do not have to leave it attached to your ear all day. I am on the road for hours at a time and this is very convenient for anybody who is active. I forget its even around my neck because it weighs next to nothing. I would highly recommend this to anybody. I love this so much that I even bought one fo my wife.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Talya The sound is GREAT!
I bought two pairs of these headphones- one for my husband, and one for myself. He uses his mainly for answering calls in the car. I use mine for listening to music and audiobooks at work. I thought I would have a problem with them, because I don't like things around my neck. No turtleneck sweaters... no scarves wrapped around... but these are flexible enough that you know they are there, but they sit just in the right spot- right on that neckbone, so you don't feel uncomfortable or choked at all.
The 'talk time' is 10 hours. In my experience- that is 10 hours BEFORE it starts getting spotty. People have said that they experience problems when the phone swings behind the headphones, but the only connection problems that I have ever experienced, is that you may experience brief interruptions when you put water between you and your phone. #I work in a small office, and I can roam around the office while leaving my cell phone on my desk. The only problem I have had was using the restroom or washing my hands in the breakroom. Hence the water between you and your phone comment.#
For calls: The quality is very good. I don't generally like using headphones for calls, because in my past experience, whether corded or wireless- people usually have problems hearing me. But- I am heard just fine on these. I used to be a phone service rep, so I automatically cup the microphone, so that I can be heard when it's windy. #For those of you who had a problem with taking calls on windy days.#
For music: The sound quality is excellent. Matter of fact- these are probably the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. Some audiobooks are recorded low, and you have to turn the sound all the way up on regular headphones to be able to hear the narrator. On these headphones- the loudest I've probably ever had them was halfway.
Cons: The little plastic cord managers are very easy to break off. My husband has broken two already. I had pity on him and gave him one of mine, but now he has broken that one as well. Also- the little silver label with the model number on it could be placed somewhere else, just because it sits at the base of your neck- eventually your perspiration and the rubbing against your skin is going to peel it right off.
That's right- the only drawbacks I've seen so far are completely cosmetic.
I do have a warning though- because of the weird way these things are shaped- you will have perfect strangers come up to you and ask you about them. I've been stopped a number of times #usually in a grocery store# by people with questions. How much it costs... how good is the sound quality... does it chafe your neck at all...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rhartsjr Great battery life, good quality.
Bought these as a replacement for my previous Bluetooth headphones. I grew to love the design. The sound quality has been excellent. Originally used as stereo headphones for running and exercise. Yet the noise cancelling of the HBS-700 series allow me to hold conversations in noisy environments. The battery life is outstanding.
I bought a pair for my son who enjoys it thoroughly. When we added a third headset to the family, we bought the HBS-730 because this headset has worked so well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by beachvbguy Great sound... could use some documentation
I really love the sound of these earphones.. they are better than the phones I had from Hong Kong.. my only complaint is that because of such a small footprint, I'm not sure how to operate all the features. There doesn't seem, for example, to be an indicator when either the battery is low, or fully charged... I've searched the site for some support info.. but I can't find any. Otherwise, I'm really enjoying this product

Rated 5 out of 5 by alabamatrucker Truck drivers dream
I bought this bluetooth headset for my husband who is a over the road truck driver instructor. This headset is comfortable to wear and since you wear it around your neck instead of over your head it stays in place much better. Quality and sound are great

A blood culture is a laboratory test to check for bacteria or other microorganisms in a blood sample. Most cultures check for bacteria.
Culture - blood
A blood sample is needed.
The site where blood will be drawn is first cleaned with an antiseptic such as chlorhexidine. This reduces the chance of an organism from the skin getting into (contaminating) the blood sample and causing a false-positive result (see below).
The sample is sent to a laboratory. There, it is placed in a special dish (culture). It is then watched to see if bacteria or other disease-causing organisms grow. A gram stain may also be done. A gram stain is a method of identifying microorganisms (bacteria) using a special series of stains (colors).
A bacterial blood infection sometimes comes and goes, so a series of three blood cultures may be done to confirm results.
There is no special preparation.
When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain. Others feel only a prick or stinging. Afterward, there may be some throbbing or a slight bruise. This soon goes away.
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of a serious blood infection (sepsis ). Symptoms include high fever, chills, rapid breathing and heart rate, confusion, and very low blood pressure.
The blood culture helps identify the type of bacteria causing the infection. This helps the doctor determine how best to treat the infection.
A normal value means that no bacteria or other germs were seen in your blood sample.
An abnormal (positive) result usually means that you have an infection called sepsis. Sepsis is a severe illness in which your blood is overwhelmed by bacteria. If you have sepsis, you will be admitted to a hospital.
Other types of germs, such as a fungus or a virus, may also be found in a blood culture.
Sometimes, an abnormal result can be due to contamination. This means bacteria may be found, but it came from your skin or from the lab equipment, instead of your blood. This is called a false-positive result. It means you do not have a true infection.
Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another, and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.
Other risks associated with having blood drawn are slight but may include:

However, it has been de- cided that a student may, with good reasons and the permission of her department, receive credit for courses at Harvard and Swarth- more summer sessions. Miss Park has suggested the additional alter- natives of practical experience, or defense work. Miss Ward attended a meeting last week of the representatives of many Eastern colleges and univer- sities at which plans for shorten- ing the curriculum were discussed. Swarthmore has arranged a summer session of three months. Courses will be planned to meet the requirements of students. The regular seminars for Juniors and Seniors will be included. A year's course will be covered by devoting double time to courses. Each sum- mer session will receive the credit for one semester. Haverford will have only a two months session, running from June 22 to August 22. Concentration will center on the sciences, but there will also be some courses in other fields.

M., Tuesday, February 3.�An excited expectancy pervaded the air. In the air raid office in Rhoads senior air raid wardens languished in importance, admiring handsome embroidered arm bands. "Guess it's the yellow signal," Mr. Cameron speculated. "Do I have to go through the halls and all that stuff?" groaned Mr. Watson in undertone, while the telephone buzzed on and No. 1, 2, and 3 people-to-be-warned proved to be not at home because they were dutifully standing by the lights. Outside, the expectancy was ma- terialized in a nervous blinking of lights. "They're cheating!"shouted wardens, as some sputtered off without warning. A sickly wheeze from the village�"Ten seconds j early," commented Mr. Watson� \ announced the Moment. In re-1 sponse to the glorious roaring ziz-i zing at the power house the Li- \ brary and Rock silently and sud- denly became blanks silhouetted in the moonlight. ("Who's got some red paper for the moon?" roared Mr. Cameron.) Anxious and pre- occupied with the problem of "Where Are Our Men" as they were, wardens stopped vo express sympathy for the "poor fellow who has to pull that thing up and down five times," before they rushed into inspection rounds. "Our Men" loomed through the darkness, lurking in the shadows of Pembroke Arch like movie crim- inals on the river bank. Without a word they passed each other in the moonlight as if doing some dread and secret business... But for the reporter there was a word of explanation, "That's one of Our Men." The inspection rounds were taken at a swift and breathless canter. This brought one in time to the Inn, where Mr. Sprague was found peacefully pacing the terrace gloat- ing happily over the fact that he had. found two more people to warn�in the basement of Dolgelly. 'Just found them tonight," he an- nounced proudly. Elsewhere lights, the principle objects of search, were found. Techniques for re- moving these varied. For the shadowy figure on the hill of Fac- ulty Row the shout of "Light, light" sufficed. "It's only the moon on the car windows," proclaimed a stentorian voice. Round and round the wardens sped. From Rhoads sparkled brilliant spots of yellow light through cracks in the Vene- tian blinds of the air raid office, like a lighted Christmas tree. A bang on the window, and the lights went'out. Far more impressive was the policemen - raiding-a-gambling-joint technique employed in Pern West. Armed with wicked looking green flashlights, the wardens stamped fiercely in�periodically�with la- conic command, "The Tower." The blank, innocuous, knitting darkness' suddenly became alive with a num- ber of lights which bobbed obedi- Conlinucd on Page Four Recital to be Given By Dorothy Maynor, Great Negro Singer The young negro soprano, Dor- othy Maynor, will give a recital in Goodhart Hall, Monday evening, 4 February 16, 8.30. Acclaimed as "one of the outstanding voices of the day," Miss Maynor has already soloed with four leading symphony orchestras in her first season. 01 in Downes, leading music crit- ic of the New York Times, writes of this new singer, "she has virtu- ally everything needed by a great Continued- on Fact Four Anderson Outlines Monetary Controls Of Growing In flation Goodhart, February 9. � Infla- tion, particularly dangerous in time of war, is well under way in the United States, said Mr. Ander- son in his lecture entitled Can We Check Inflation by Control of Money! Inflation, he said, is due to an increase of spendable income more rapid than supplies of goods for sale. In the last one and a half years, prices have risen more than they have during the whole preceding eight years. This pres- ent rise, ten per cent in retail prices and twenty per cent in wholesale prices, shows no signs of stopping. There are three methods of con- trolling inflation; direct price fix- ing, taxation and borrowing from the public, and control through the' monetary system itself. This last involves control of banking as a whole. Three instruments can be used: regulation of cash reserves which banks are required to hold; open-market operation; and ma- nipulation of the rate of discount. However, new legislation is needed for these instruments. Cash re- serves must be made higher, since Continued on rage Four Goodhart, February 6. � "Inter- national law has not been killed by the war," declared Manley O. Hud- son in his first lecture on The Na- ture mid Scope of International Laic It exists between neutrals and belligerents; it exists between belligerents on the same side, and even exists between belligerents on opposite sides. International law does not abdicate in the time, of war. Dr. Hudson, member of the Per- manent Court of International Jus- tice, has contributed greatly to the development of the science of in- ternational law.

In the eyes of veteran Goodhart-goers, this was a far greater accomplish- ment on the part of the orchestra than even the fact that they gave the audience what it had come for. We hope this will occasion their return. The name of this organization is apt to convey an unfortunate and altogether false impression. There was nothing excessively youthful either about their appearance or therr performance. They played with mature artistic skill which en- ables them to be judged according to the standards of adult profes- sionals. It was only in a certain over-prim, metronome like observ- ance of time that any lack of as- surance on their part could be found. This was particularly evi- dent in the classical "portion of their program, where both the Beethoven and the Haydn tended Continued on Past Four Lerner Advocates Better Utilization Of U. S. Resources Blames Ruling Statesmen Not Democracy for Recent Failure Goodhart, February 10.�Unless we learn from our past mistakes, fight the war democratically, or- ganize it efficiently, talk now of peace conditions and cast off opti- mistic smugness, we will neither win the war nor build the peace, said Max Lerner, Professor of Po- litical Science at Williams College. Mr. Lerner said that America is being infected by the "Frank Mer- riwell spirit," by the dangerous, unrealistic idea that we can con- tinue to make faux /xis, fail to take advantage of our* resources, fail to organize ourselves, and yet win in the final split second. Unmindful of the formidable Spring offensive planned by Hitler. We have al- lowed the recent business on the Russian front to lull us into com- placency. "The sense of the seri- ousness of the Far Eastern situa- tion has not been communicated to the people," said Mr. Lerner. We are in great danger of losing the Far East and not very long from now. We cannot play for time in this war. "We must understand," said Mr. Lerner, "that the war may be won or lost in 1942 .... that this year may. be the most crucial year In the history of the Western World." Every effort exerted, every stroke wielded today, he said, will be worth ten such accomplish- ments afterward. Our plan of action, said Mr. Ler- ner, must be based on a theoretical guide deduced from past errors.

Common Room, 7:30. - Hitler, Air Raids, lp-to-Date Songs Promise Variety and Originality in Freshman Show By Anne Denny, '43 Even in its present embryonic | state, this year's Freshman Show i promises energetic high - kicking' and snappy songs. Love, Fret, and Clieers has everything from air raids, Hitler, and dancing devils, to a caustic, bridge table humor. Kitty Rand struggles with the discipline of two ungraceful mili- ( tary choruses. Haverford enters in the first act, but plays a remark- ably subordinate part, outshadowed by bombs and Hitler's dramatic en- trance in the last act. Intimidated by tales of last year's raucous rehearsal episodes^ the Freshmen are worried about the future of the show, but their most frequent remark is, "Oh, well, the songs are good anyway." The songs are more up-to-date than the usual run of Freshman Show songs, and they constitute most of the playing time. The tumult and the shouting of the air raid scene requires elabo- rate sound-effects, but it has great possibilities. The last act indulges in a little "Hollywoodishness" with a graduation scene, but it is quickly interrupted again by the war ele- ment. Impersonations of the Faculty are rarer than usual this year and the show promises to stand more on its own feet than on the stand- ard college jokes. The acting ability of the class of '45 has not yet been unearthed, but Ijove, Fret, and Cheers provides opportunity as well as obstacles. The Freshmen have a good idea, but they may find some truth in the title's allu- sion to Blood, Sweat and Tears.

Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan Presents: The 2011- 2012 Official Manual from mosecofstate on Vimeo.
Hi, I'm Secretary of State Robin Carnahan.
For more than 100 years, the Secretary of State's office has published Missouri's Official Manual, or as most people know it, the "Blue Book."
Just like in the past, this year's Blue Book contains valuable information about Missouri government--at all levels--state, county and local. It's a quick reference to find who to call when you have questions or want to learn more about a government department or service. It also features interesting stories and pictures about our shared past that we gathered from all over the state during last year's Great Missouri Treasure Hunt, a statewide historical contest.
But this year's Blue Book is also different. Because, for the first time, the state legislature directed that the Blue Book be available only in an on-line format.
You can find Missouri's Digital Blue Book on our website, mobluebook.com.
* PLEASE NOTE: The online version of the Official Manual is a book depicting a "picture-in-time" and will not be updated.
Blue Book documents are available on this website in the .pdf format. In order to view or print them, you must have Adobe Reader installed on your computer. To download a free copy of Adobe Reader, click on the icon below.
NOTE: If you are experiencing problems opening PDFs using IE8, please place the mouse over the selected PDF, right-click then select Open in New Tab or Open in New Window.
