Scientists have identified a factor in the conditioned medium of mesenchymal stem cell (MSCs) cultures that appears to play a key role in the therapeutic effects of MSC-based therapy in multiple sclerosis (MS). Studies by Case Western Reserve University researchers in the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) mouse model of MS demonstrated that treatment using conditioned medium from cultured human MSCs (MSC-CM) was sufficient to reduce functional deficits, promote the development of new myelinating oligodendrocytes and neurons, as well as suppress the influx of immune cells and inflammatory cytokine release.
Subsequent functional assays identified hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and its primary receptor cMet as critical for MSC-stimulated recovery in EAE, neural cell development, and remyelination. Reporting their findings in Nature Neuroscience, Robert H. Miller and colleagues suggest their results indicate the HGF-cMet pathway may provide new therapeutic opportunities for treating multiple sclerosis. Their published paper is titled "Hepatocyte growth factor mediates mesenchymal stem cell-induced recovery in multiple sclerosis models."
Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by loss of myelin on nerve cells and the death of myelinating oligodendrocytes. In parallel with therapeutic approaches based on modulating the immune response, more recent work has focused on promising MSC-based cell therapies a an approach to promoting remyelination and functional recovery as well as suppressing further immunological attack.
The Case Western Team looked to see whether soluble factors released by MSCs were integral to the therapeutic effects of MSCs in the EAE model of MS. The researchers first demonstrated that injections of human MSC-CM led to marked functional improvements in EAE mice and identified HGF as the candidate molecule responsible for the therapeutic effects.
Animals then administered with recombinant HGF injections intravenousy for five days demonstrated notable functional improvements after 30 days, which was closely associated with histological improvements including markedly reduced numbers of demyelinated axons, increased thickness of myelin sheaths in areas of lesions, and lower levels of inflammatory cell infiltration. Promisingly, HGF injections were similarly capable of promoting remyelination in the spinal cords of LPC lesion experimental rats, which represent a model for nonimmune-mediated demyelination.
These functional benefits of HGF therapy were found to be mediated through the tyrosine receptor kinase cMet, which is the most well-characterized receptor for HGF, the authors note. Mice treated with a cMet antibody failed to respond to therapy with HGF or MSC-CM and showed no evidence of immune suppression. c-Met signaling was also critical to the effects of HGF on oligodendrocyte precursor cell development in vitro and for promoting oligodendrocyte migration to areas of demyelination in EAE-derived neurospheres.
A function for HGF in MS hasn't yet been identified, the team admits. Indeed, while previous research had found raised levels of HGF in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with MS and other neurological diseases, it had been proposed that this elevation was linked with disease pathology.
"Our studies suggest it is more likely a reflection of an endogenous repair process stimulated by the disease," the Case Western researchers point out. "Indeed, it may be that susceptibility or disease progression in multiple sclerosis is, in part, a reflection of the capacity of endogenous MSCs to release HGF. These studies raise the possibility that the HGF-cMet pathway may provide new therapeutic opportunities for the treatment of multiple sclerosis."

Horizon Air President Glenn Johnson apologized to a customer on Facebook today after a Facebook firestorm arose over alleged poor treatment of a disabled man's attempt to board a flight in Redmond and visit his daughter last Friday.
Bend event producer Cameron Clark sparked the furor with a Facebook posting Friday, calling airline employees' lack of care for the man "the worst of humanity."
The airline noted he flew to see his daughter on Saturday.
"First and foremost, we've determined that we could and should have handled this better and I apologize to our passenger on behalf of all of us at Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines," Johnson wrote in his posting (which you can read at https://www.facebook.com/notes/alaska-airlines/a-message-from-horizon-air-president-glenn-johnson/10150964714936073
"This experience has reminded us of the importance of assisting passengers with disabilities and making sure every one of them receives the special care they may need," he added. "The information we've gathered during our review will certainly improve our efforts going forward."
As part of its review of the incident, Alaska Airlines refunded the passenger's initial ticket, provided a complimentary round-trip flight for his trip and offered a second round-trip ticket for him to visit his daughter again at a later date. Horizon Air operates regional flights on behalf of Alaska Airlines.
"We've worked with a variety of disability organizations for years, which has helped us improve our service for travelers with disabilities," said Ray Prentice, Alaska Airlines' director of customer advocacy. "This incident provides another learning opportunity for our employees as well as for travelers with disabilities."
Alaska and Horizon have partnered with Open Doors Organization, an independent disability advocacy group, to review employees' handling of the situation and suggest improvements in the airlines' disability, awareness and sensitivity training.
Eric Lipp, Open Doors Organization's executive director, advises passengers with a disability who are traveling to:
• Self-disclose to the airline any assistance you may need before you
arrive at the airport. This could include an escort or wheelchair
assistance through security, to the gate, and while boarding and
exiting the plane.
• Ask the airline if you prefer to have a personal assistant escort you
to the gate. Most airlines will issue passes to personal assistants to
help passengers with disabilities get to or from the gate area.
• Plan ahead and arrive at the airport at least 90 minutes before your
flight departs, which allows time to check luggage, obtain wheelchair
services, get through security and board the flight.
As a long-time, well-known Bend event producer, Clark is well-versed in how to get things done, large and small, and what it takes to please your customers. He also can get mighty steamed at examples of the opposite – and in today's fast-moving world of social media, a detailed, anger-inducing Facebook post about witnessing a prime case of alleged poor service can ignite a firestorm.
And it did.
Nowadays, a fast-spreading story pointing to what Clark called "the worst of humanity" can also move a big company, like an airline, to fast action -- even on a weekend. (After all, no company wants to be the target of another viral campaign or YouTube video like the infamous "United Breaks Guitars.")
The latest example of such an online explosion of righteous anger transpired after Clark fired off a note to his hundreds of Facebook friends on Friday, detailing what he considered very shoddy service by Alaska Airlines representatives at Redmond Airport who, he said, "ignored" and failed to properly assist a disabled, physically challenged man and his companion who were trying to get him on a flight to Bellingham, Wash. to see his daughter, perhaps for the last time.
The anger spread, as Clark's friends told their friends, and the viral nature of Facebook took over.
The man missed the flight, but Clark's missive and the resulting outcry didn't miss the mark – not by a long shot – as the airline quickly got involved, not just in investigating what went wrong and refunding his ticket but, after the hullabaloo took on steam, announcing that it had flown the man to another location, to meet his daughter on Saturday.
And because it all was playing out in public, as things do these days, they also posted their responses publicly, leaving some digital onlookers dissatisfied, others less so.
Some of the many to weigh in on the matter pointed to federal laws such as the Americans With Disabilities Act and the Air Carrier Accessibility Act. Others urged the man at the center of the situation to sue, or vowed not to fly the airline unless it did right by those involved and made sure it never happens again.
But while Clark said he never intended his frustration-fueled missive to go viral on Facebook and beyond, he said Saturday afternoon that the thousands responding to his tale of "the worst of humanity" actually has shown him one thing: that "the best of humanity is alive and well. that light exists. that accountability is possible."
Clark insisted he did not intend to create a stir, but said "the unintended consequence was a good one, that people demonstrated the best of humanity in response to this all."
He also praised the airline, saying it "has an outstanding track record (and) ended up doing the right thing (at least most of the way there)."
But later, on Saturday night, the airline posted another update that Clark found disturbing. It said the customer "arrived late and didn't request or assistance or let us know of any disabilities."
"He was also exhibiting signs of inebriation and smelled of alcohol," the airline claimed, adding that they are "conducting a thorough review" of the incident and will respond to the customer within 10 days.

Malaysia - IVD events - Clean up the Melaka River
World Youth Foundation (WYF) has joined one of the world's largest environmental campaigns, Clean Up the World, to help make a difference in Malaysia.
YAB Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, Chairman of World Youth Foundation said that while climate change is a global problem, individual and community based action is an essential first step.
"We need to take serious action on climate change for the sake of our future generations. There is no one single solution to the problem, it's up to everyone to do their part which is why we've joined Clean Up the World – to be part of a global campaign helping millions worldwide take grassroots, community action," YAB Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said.
"It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the problem is so big that individual action won't make a difference, but in fact every little bit helps. The action we take in our community will help reduce the impacts of climate change around the globe.
"With the support of Clean Up the World , we are going to remove rubbish and algae from Melaka River, plant trees, collect recycle waste, among others. We're calling on the whole of Melaka and Malaysians to join us in helping to protect our local environment.
Clean Up the World Chairman and founder, Ian Kiernan AO said WYF will play a significant role in the Clean Up the World 2008 campaign.
"I was thrilled to learn that WYF are involved in the campaign. I have no doubt activities planned for this year's Clean Up the World campaign will help protect the Melaka environment for future generations," he said.
"We need to start today to save tomorrow. I hope everyone gets involved to help clean up our climate."
The event will take place as follows:
Date : 6th December 2008
Time : 8.00 a.m
Location : Along the banks of Malacca River, Melaka
The activity : Removing rubbish, algae, planting trees, recycling etc
The campaign is being supported by CIMB Bank and CIMB Foundation, SWM Environment Sdn Bhd, Melaka Historic City Council, Pembangunan Pertanian Melaka Sdn Bhd, Melaka River and Coastal Development Corporation, Renaissance Melaka Hotel and several other sponsors.
World Youth Foundation is a Member of Clean Up the World. For more information on this initiative please contact:

In the United States, racist songs praising the Ku Klux Klan or promoting segregation have existed for many years. But starting in the 1970s, a new phenomenon emerged: the creation of an entire genre of music predicated on racism.
Today, hate music plays a central role in the white supremacist movement in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere. It is key to many aspects of the neo-Nazi world, but is especially important in three areas:

Friday the 13th was no hurdle for the Stark County Rebels and their quarterback Ryne Daum. But it was all black cats, broken mirrors and spilled salt for the Annawan-Wethersfield Titans and their pass defense.
Daum scorched the Titans for four touchdown passes in the first half here Friday night, leading his team to a 46-20 Lincoln Trail Conference win.
"Teams are stacking the box and trying to take the run away from us," Stark County Coach Jade Noard. "And we've been able to hurt them through the air."
Daum threw two first-half touchdown passes to Logan Hollis and one each to Thorin Hicks and Jake Berchtold.
At the break, Daum had completed 13 of 24 throws for 210 yards and four scores.
"We made too many mistakes to beat a team of this caliber," Annawan-Wethersfield Coach Brandon Johnston said. "Blown coverages, missed communication. I have to take responsibility for that. The kids weren't prepared for what they threw at us."
Daum also ran five yards for a score late in the half making him responsible for all five first-half scores.
The Titans tried to make a game of it, scoring twice in the second period.
Quarterback Jake Bennett scored on a three-yard run following a 71-yard kickoff return by Trevor Lay.
The kick return game was golden for the Titans as six minutes later, Micam Smith returned one 95 yards for a score.
That made the score 27-13, but Daum's TD run with 34 seconds left in the half put the Rebels back in the driver's seat.
"It's a good win on their field," Noard said. "But it was incredibly sloppy. We dropped a lot of passes and we had far too many penalties (11 for 80 yards)."
Stark County running back Colton Senders scored twice in the second half — on runs of six and two yards — to keep his team well in front.
A-W's only score in the second half came on a four-yard run by Gunner Ince.
"The positives are we looked a lot better in the second half," Johnston said. "And a lot of the problems we had tonight are fixable."
While piling up points on offense, Stark County's defense was stout, holding A-W running back Micam Smith to 54 yards on 13 carries.
The Rebels are now 3-0 on the season, while the Titans dip to 2-1.

This study reports on the incidence of femoral hernia in patients who preoperatively received a diagnosis of inguinal hernia before undergoing total extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair, with particular attention to cases of reoperation.
The incidence of femoral hernia is not clearly defined; however, femoral hernias are considered to be relatively rare and less common in men than women. Hernias can be repaired by either an open or laparoscopic approach. The purported benefits of laparoscopic hernia repair include less postoperative pain and earlier return to normal activity with apparent equivalent rates of recurrence compared with open tension-free mesh-based repairs.1 An additional benefit of the laparoscopic approach is the ability to visualize all hernial orifices in the groin area bilaterally. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of femoral hernia in patients who preoperatively received a diagnosis of inguinal hernia before undergoing total extraperitoneal laparoscopic hernia repair, with particular attention to cases of reoperation.

When it comes to Apple's computing
products, there are a few that seem to not get much attention. The
Mac Pro is one of them, and the other is the Mac mini. Today,
however, Apple is showing a little bit of love for its tiny
little desktop machine.
The Mac mini is now sporting an all new
design, which looks to be both flatter and wider. The body is now
only 1" thick and is carved from a single piece of aluminum. On
the bottom of the device is a circular access panel that allows you
to gain access to the memory modules.
The Mac mini now sports either a 2.4GHz
or 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB of RAM (up to 8GB is
supported). Graphics duties are handled by an NVIDIA GeForce 320M
integrated GPU with 256MB of DDR3 memory.
Storage duties are handled by either a
320GB or 500GB SATA hard drive. An 8x slot-loading SuperDrive
soldiers on for your DVD and CD media.
Port selection includes one Firewire
800 port, four USB 2.0 ports, GbE, HDMI, mini DisplayPort, and an SD slot. Wireless
connectivity includes Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and 802.11n.
"The sleek, aluminum Mac mini packs
great features, versatility and value into an elegant, amazingly
compact design," said Apple's Philip Schiller. "With twice the
graphics performance, HDMI support and industry-leading energy
efficiency, customers are going to love the new Mac mini."
While Apple's new Mac mini is no doubt
stylish, you will pay through the nose to get one. Pricing starts at
a a whopping $699 (a $100 increase over the previous model) and it is available now from Apple.com.

State officials have offered updates with new details every day since the security breach was announced. The Post and Courier has been keeping track:
Previous coverage
For more stories about the state Department of revenue breach, go to postandcourier.com/hacked.
Credit monitoring
After some initial uncertainty, state officials confirmed Tuesday that, in addition to 3.6 million individual taxpayers, the South Carolinas businesses identification numbers might have been compromised in the recent hack of the Department of Revenue. On Wednesday, Gov. Nikki Haley announced that, like individuals, businesses will be treated to credit-monitoring.
The two arrangements, as reported by Haley, are strikingly different. After days of negotiation over terms such as cost, Experian agreed to offer its ProtectMyID service credit-monitoring and $1 million insurance for a year, as well as fraud-resolution help for life for a capped total cost of $12 million.
Dun & Bradstreet, on the other hand, apparently just called down this week and offered free, real-time credit-monitoring to businesses for as long as theyre in operation at no cost to the state.
Dun & Bradstreet will monitor changes in businesses officers, banking or address, Haley said.
At first glance, it sounds like businesses, fresh off the bad news of their exposure to the hack, have a silver lining.
Business vulnerability
Haley was asked Wednesday whether businesses should be concerned about any sensitive numbers they reported on their tax returns, like bank account routing numbers. Her response seemed to prompt more questions about businesses vulnerability.
Just keep in mind, you give a check to your grocery store, you give a check to anybody, so anybody that you give a check to, that information is always there, she said. The business information that was given that wouldve been attached to that would have been EIN numbers, which is public information, checking account numbers, which you already have thats always been public information Social Security numbers, if they are tied to that, which is why you need to contact to get in with the site. Those are more the types of things that got in. So what I can tell you is they got what is already public. But again I would recommend businesses take advantage of Dun & Bradstreet and sign up.
Routing numbers are on checks, but does that make them public? And Social Security numbers certainly arent something people want floating around, especially in the hands of hackers. The governors last piece of counsel seems the soundest.

Each year the Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources teams up with Wildlife Forever to conduct the national State Fish Art Contest. Students depict a state fish and write a one-page essay to compete for scholarships and other prizes. This year the contest includes a new category. In addition to three categories for grades 4-12, the contest now has a category for grades 1-3.
The state fishes for Alabama are largemouth bass and the fighting tarpon. Artists can also draw state-fish from other states. In addition to the artwork, all of the artists except those in grades 1-3 are required to write a one-page essay with facts about the fish, its natural habitat, and the importance of that habitat.
Entries must be postmarked by March 31, 2012, and mailed to Wildlife Forever. All artwork is judged by Wildlife Forever, which also handles contest details and awards prizes, such as scholarships, art supplies and fishing gear. Art techniques may include oils, scratch-board, pointillism, chalk, pastels, charcoal, colored pencil, acrylics, dry brush, watercolor, crosshatch, lead, collage, linoleum printing, or crayon.
Other changes in this year's contest include the size of the art, which may be 9" x 11" or 9" x 12". Specific rules of the contest may be found on the Wildlife Forever website, www.wildlifeforever.org.
Previous Alabama winners are archived at www.outdooralabama.com, keyword "state fish art." Winners are announced May 1 of each year. One Alabama entry won the title of the national "Best of Show" in 2005. Connery Carson submitted a pencil drawing of a bass pursuing a crayfish.
Wildlife Forever is a non-profit organization working to preserve America's wildlife heritage through conservation education, preservation of habitat and scientific management of fish and wildlife species. Wildlife Forever has funded conservation projects in all 50 states. To learn more visit, www.wildlifeforever.org.

The Spring Cure: The Landing Strip
• Cure Clock: 6 weeks to go • Assignment: Read Week 3: The Landing Strip • Cure Members: 1,326 (join here) Although this week's Cure is all about bringing color into your home and working out a landing strip, I'd like to take this moment to bring you the words and photos from a man who calls himself "The Minimalist Slob." Forester Michael from Kansas City, Mo. wrote to us to share how decluttering his home not only changed the way he feels in his space, but changed his life all together. His words and pictures are more than inspiring and we hope you're able to gather some inspiration from someone who's been where you are — and not only come out alive, but a changed man! Having been through my own personal steps of purging and cleaning clutter, I know first hand what it takes to come to terms with the deep seated need to hang onto things that were essentially weighing me down. This behind the scenes look at how someone else conquered the need for "stuff and things" really hit home. Although we talk a great deal about making your house a home and the decorating stages, none of that really means a thing if you can't clear or organize the space so your decorative touches don't end up as clutter themselves. Nest week we'll be back with a full gallery of tons of photos from all of our Curees hard work, so keep those photos coming in our Flickr pool and check out the wise words and story below from artist and photographer, Forester Michael.
I love the minimalist designers, painters and architects. Oh, The clean lines. The open spaces, The fields of color, the long walks from a table to a chair. And the LIGHT! Swoon. I've wanted this as long as I can remember. To be so simple and pure. Like a monk… but on a Knoll. The thing is. I'm not a minimalist. I'm a slob. I am a World-Class slob. Not the kind that keeps twenty years of newspapers, but the procrastinator kind. The kind that's always full of guilt. "I really should clean this place up." The response was always, "How do I start?" It's daunting! Scary! Bigger than you! So I went and hid under a pile of coats. The mess always continued. For the last couple of years I've had a lovely little one bedroom with a ten foot wide French doors and side windows that open onto it's balcony. It, of course, is a pit. Clothes, papers, tools, boxes, dishes, miscellaneous things dragged home because they seemed useful. These are dropped unceremoniously into any speck of open space. The sofa has a job. It's for coats. A plate is only cleaned the moment before it is used. Then it waits with it's film of sauce, grease, and or crumbs until it is needed again and then washed. I live in shame. Never inviting friends over. Constantly loosing face in front of girlfriends. The counters and my ego looked like shit. This has been my existence in my home for my entire life. This year something has changed. Possibly feeling my age. Possibly no longer content with dying young or dying old and alone. Possibly no longer waiting to have the world I want. It took me a couple of months but now… my apartment is clean. Really clean. Everything is put away in it's place. Nothing out of place. Oh! And it's not about having one day a week where you go and tidy up the place. Oh no. When I am done with a pen, I put it away. When I am done with a meal I clean my plate. When I take off my clothes for bed, they go in the hamper. And when I get out of bed… I make it. The transition to living in this kind of place for the first time was unnerving… what was the feeling?.. it felt… morbid. The emptiness made it feel like a tomb. Like the fear we have of the dark. The cold, empty nothingness in front of us. When I moved around in the space all I could hear were my footsteps. I would walk from one end of my apartment to get a dustpan, then back across to use it, and then again as I went to put it where it belongs. There was nothing but steps and the whisp(er)s of a broom. After a week or two I stopped waiting for the emptiness to be filled with a ghost that would stimulate my senses. In the same way the clutter focused me with the threat of taking me down at the knees and killing me by putting my head into a casually tossed aside bike pedal. I noticed I was by choice living quieter. I don't constantly have music or podcasts blaring. I now liked the quiet, and I'm the one that quieted it. I have made this my home, and I chose for it to be quiet. I am a minimalist. There are no design masterpieces here in my lovely home. No brilliant storage solutions. There is space. Space for confidence in travel across a floor. Space for work. Space for decisions. Space for calm. I am now happy here. I feel joy in the morning as I make my bed. I put on a clean folded t-shirt, pants, socks, shoes, maybe a sweater if it's chilly. I'm dressed. I am now ready for the day. I can do as I choose, and there is nothing in my way.Thanks Forester!

Do you take your LO or do you leave him/her in the car?
Does it matter if you can still see your LO if you decide not to take him/her?
Just curious. My opinion is that I will always take LO with me even if I can see him and even if I can still see him.

PITTSBURGH - The first month of the season was rocky for the Pittsburgh Pirates' offense, but it ended on a hopeful note.
Pedro Alvarez had gotten into the habit of taking a slow path around the bases, hitting five home runs in April.
It's impossible to overestimate how important Alvarez is to the Pirates' offense.
If he hits, the rest of the lineup fits into more comfortable roles.
There's no substitute for a genuine thumper in the middle of the order, the kind of hitter who can make the other team nervous about his power.
The starting pitching has been outstanding to this point. Joel Hanrahan is reliable at the back end of games.
If the Pirates can score enough games to ease the burden on the pitching staff, they can win some games.
So much of that depends on what Alvarez does.
The Pirates drafted him to be a formidable presence in the middle of the order.
After a slow start, he's shown some signs that he may be able to fill that role.
If Alvarez has a good season, so do the Pirates.
Character issues
The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted one player who has a marijuana charge on his record, and another who got in trouble for sending a threatening text message to a former girlfriend.
The early rounds of the draft throughout the NFL are marked with players who have had brushes with the law. It's a part of our world.
The Steelers believe they've investigated the circumstances thoroughly and have chosen players who have put those problems in the past.
Time will tell. Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert said he won't be totally sure of Mike Adams' promises until Adams' career is over.
Adams is the Ohio State lineman who ran afoul of the law on a marijuana charge.
The Steelers have committed to Adams. Now he has to justify that faith.
I misidentified the co-author of "A Pirate For Life" in Monday's column. Erik Sherman is the writer who did such a good job with Steve Blass on the book.
Apologies to him.

The money from those patents funds the Biochemistry Department (where I work) and has paid for a large portion of a couple of the buildings on campus from what I understand. The building I'm sitting in right now will likely be named after him immediately after his death (they won't let the building be named after someone still alive).

The Call Of the Tall Ship
A chef followed his dream on the high seas
Born in Spain and based in Washington, D.C., José Andrés is the chef and partner in 15 restaurants, including minibar in Washington, four locations of Jaleo and newly opened Mi Casa in Puerto Rico. He is the dean of Spanish studies at the International Culinary Center in New York. He recently spoke with the WSJ's Katy McLaughlin.
This story goes back many years, when I was 8 or 9 years old and with my father in the port of Barcelona. There was an amazing tall ship docked there, the Juan Sebastián de Elcano.
"Man, I want to go on that," I said to my father.
"You have to do the military to go on a ship like that," my father said. I never forgot that ship or what my father said.
In Spain at that time, every boy had to do a year of military service. My turn came when I was 18 or 19 years old. It was by lottery whether you went to the army, the navy or the air force. Boom, I get the navy. Not only that, I get the navy in the south of Spain, where this ship has its headquarters. So I get down there, do basic training, and request to go on the Juan Sebastián de Elcano. I was so excited.
Then they tell me, "You can't go on the ship, because you're the best cook here and you need to cook for the admiral." I had already gone to culinary school and had worked at El Bulli. At the admiral's residence, I had my own apartment with my own bathroom in a magnificent house, decorated in the old Spanish style, very Rococo, with paintings of military men on top of horses in gold frames, showcasing centuries of Spanish military might. It was a paradise.
But my desire to go away and travel was greater than my desire to live the good life. It was nearing December, and the ship was set to sail on the 10th of January for a six-month tour. I had to make my move. I went to the second in command and cornered him: "Sir, I would give anything to be on that ship," I told him. The only way to get this assignment was to sign on for two extra months, so I am one of the only crazy bastards to sign on for two extra months of military service.
I joined the ship as the personal assistant of the second commander. We were 320 crew. The officers lived at the back of the boat, the sailors in the middle, in two separate areas, and the civilians at the front. I was a sailor, and in the area where I lived, we had about 150 bunks, in stacks of three, with every inch of that space occupied. You had very narrow spaces in between, with people walking everywhere. It was so tight that if you had your hand out, someone would walk over your hand. But I had the luckiest place on earth, the Fifth Avenue of real estate on that boat, because my bunk was in a corner, with a foot and half of space between me and the wall. And I was on the bottom bunk, so that piece of property belonged to me—I could read my letters there or play cards and no one walked past me.
Part of our training, every other day, was to climb up to the mast and go all the way to the crow's nest. That was the most perfect area, being up high in that mast, 20 or 30 meters up, looking out at the magnificent ocean. I would get lost up there. At night, I always tried to go up without being seen. I got in trouble for that more than once, and I would have to clean the deck with seawater at 6 a.m.
One day I went up and it was slightly rainy. I was trying to get to the crow's nest, pulling myself up by a little 1-inch opening at the ledge you could grab onto. Suddenly, I slipped and my entire body was in the air. Something happened that day, something grabbed me and somehow my hand reconnected. To this day, I don't get it. Maybe it was not my time.
We went to the Canary Islands, Ivory Coast, Brazil—Rio de Janeiro and Maceió—the Dominican Republic and Pensacola, Fla. The experience made me in so many ways. The organization, the loyalty to an idea beyond anything, being in a teamwork environment with people you don't even know. Deep inside, it was the sense of adventure that was so amazing. Sometimes I think I got into the wrong business. Maybe I was really meant to be an adventurer. I would say that's why I always want to see what's out there.
My wife likes to tell the story of the first time she came with me to visit the Juan Sebastián de Elcano. It was in Baltimore, and we took our daughters. She said I was crying like a baby the whole time. I'm crying now. If there's one thing in life I would do again if I could, it would be this.
—As told to Katy McLaughlin

The City of Baton Rouge - Parish of East Baton Rouge has drafted a Sustainability Plan and strategy as part of a 2009 Recovery Act-Energy Efficiency Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) received from the U.S. Department of Energy. The Office of the Planning Commission completed the Sustainable Government Operations Plan (Sustainability Plan) in the Fall of 2011. The Sustainability Plan identifies specific goals and outcomes that reflect the principles set forth in the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement that Mayor-President Holden signed in the summer of 2005
The goal of the City-Parish government is to improve the efficiency and long term sustainability of our government operations, which can be accomplished through implementing and completing the action items listed in the Sustainability Plan. The Planning Commission collected data on energy use from all levels of the City-Parish government which included vehicle fuel costs and consumption, buildings' heating and cooling costs and energy intensity, the total miles traveled by the fleet, and the number of City-Parish employees walking, biking, car-pooling or using public transportation to get to work every day in order to write the plan and create recommendations.
Please follow the link below for the full Plan text. For more information, contact the Planning Commission or Jim Frey, Department of Public Works.

International Year of Volunteers + 10

Global voices shared as volunteering entities convene
23 February 2011

Bonn, Germany:
The international volunteer community have joined hands for a "north-south-east-west" meeting of minds.
Representatives from the European Year of Volunteers met with their national volunteer committee counterparts from countries in Africa, Asia, South America and Oceania in perhaps the first meeting of its kind.
Under the tenth anniversary of the International Year of Volunteers umbrella, the gathering was a chance to explore the challenges and successes of diverse volunteering organizations.
"In Jordan," said Jenine Jaradat, Director of the Princess Basma Youth Resource Centre, "we want to see greater awareness of volunteering at a national level. At this conference, I'm learning so much from the European Year of Volunteers and others that I can take back to my country."
"Volunteering is not a resource that comes for free," noted the Executive Coordinator of the United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme in her welcoming address. "It needs nurturing, investment, structure and support." UNV is the focal point agency for the International Year of Volunteers +10, which brings together 40 partners and stakeholders.
After the introductory sessions, the 'Sharing Global Voices' delegates got down to business by mapping out a 'timeline' of events set for the year.
They went on to host an interactive 'share fair' to display the various initiatives underway in countries from Australia to Nepal, Burundi, Ecuador and Poland.
On the second day of the conference, delegates tackled four key themes: influencing volunteering policy and research; sustainability and mobilizing stakeholders; organizing high-level events; and public awareness.
Their recommendations ranged from creating a central 'knowledge bank' of volunteering research to combining word-of-mouth and Internet advocacy to spread the word about the value of volunteering.
National volunteer committees and bodies are key to the success of the International Year of Volunteers +10, and will play a vital role in promoting and recognizing volunteering at the national level, as well as exploring steps to make volunteering accessible to all.
"This year is important," said Jenine Jaradat, "because Jordanian youth see what's happening in the region, and it's important for them to feel that they have a voice. We will highlight that this year, and show how youth can gain a voice through volunteering."
"One change I'd like to see is to ensure that volunteering is understood," said Patrick Karangwa, Executive Director of Parlament Des Jeunes Rwandais (Parliament of Young Rwandans). "People must see that they are contributing to social and economic status on the ground."
In addition to a series of regional conferences, many national volunteering entities will convene again in Africa during June. The Sharing Global Voices event was co-funded by the Youth in Action programme of the European Commission.

on February 24, 2013 - 11:45 PM
ALBANY – One of Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo's top "progressive" priorities for this legislative session is the decriminalization of 25 grams or less of marijuana – the equivalent of about 0.9 ounce, or 40 to 50 joints – so that young people, especially minorities, don't get criminal records that haunt them for years to come.
"We want to decriminalize low levels of marijuana so we're not going to have those arrests for stop-and-frisk anymore," Cuomo told a gathering of black and Hispanic state lawmakers last weekend in Albany.
And with a shared leadership of Republicans and breakaway Democrats in the State Senate, the prospects for passage are more likely than ever before.
Yet Cuomo so far has declined to back efforts to permit people with certain diseases and chronic painful conditions – from cancer to multiple sclerosis – to legally obtain marijuana as a way to help them cope with pain and the effects of chemotherapy.
"It's a great disconnect, and it bothers me quite a bit," said Maxine Murphy, a Buffalo resident and ordained minister who has been out of work since an on-the-job injury in 1995 that forced her to undergo back surgery.
"He certainly doesn't care about people who need medical marijuana. Help us first," said Joel Peacock, a South Buffalo resident who has been in chronic pain since a 2001 car accident.
Murphy and Peacock have something in common: They would love to get off or sharply reduce their prescribed painkillers and all the side effects they've experienced from the powerful drugs. Limited access to marijuana, which they have both tried and which they both say has relieved their painful symptoms, is a solution if done in a controlled environment and limited to certain kinds of medical conditions, they say.
They don't understand the logic of Cuomo backing decriminalization of marijuana for recreational use yet not supporting ways for people with life-threatening and chronic conditions to legally obtain the drug.
Is 2013 their year?
A new effort is about to begin this week when lawmakers unveil changes to legislation that has passed in the Assembly but stalled in the Senate. The legislation would create a controlled system in which doctors could write marijuana prescriptions for certain patients, who could then obtain the drug in limited supplies from state-controlled agents.
Backers say the environment is right for passage this year.
For starters, the Senate bill is sponsored again by Sen. Diane Savino, a Staten Island Democrat. She is one of five breakaway Democrats who have formed a coalition with Senate Republicans to control the Senate, which means Savino has far more political power in the chamber this year than she did a year ago.
If Savino, using her new powers, can force a floor vote in the Senate, backers say it would pass there, too, with Democratic and some GOP support.
Savino and the Assembly sponsor, Richard Gottfried, a 42-year veteran Democratic lawmaker from Manhattan who is chairman of the Assembly Health Committee, are scheduled to introduce a new measure designed to address past opposition.
For starters, it will not permit patients to grow their own marijuana, and it would add marijuana to the list of drugs tracked in real time by doctors and pharmacists under a new law scheduled to take effect later this year.
And they are examining how to create a system, similar to Colorado's, where the drug is monitored from its seed through plant growth to purchase by a patient.
Savino said there is movement on the issue, but that negotiations with the governor's office won't take place until after the state budget is adopted near the end of March. Cuomo's talk about changing marijuana possession laws could benefit the push for medical marijuana.
"Sometimes, all the planets come into alignment, but we're not there yet," she said.
Cuomo was asked last week if his position on the topic, which has been one of opposition, has evolved.
"No," he responded.
A Cuomo spokesman dismissed any notion that the governor is sending mixed marijuana policy messages.
"The two issues are completely separate and distinct," Richard Azzopardi said of medical marijuana efforts and Cuomo's plan to decriminalize 25 or fewer grams of pot.
"The governor's stop-and-frisk reforms are about fixing a system that disproportionately leaves black and Latino youths with a criminal record. The medical marijuana debate focuses squarely on the medicinal value of marijuana and how it compares to federally approved treatments," Azzopardi said.
Critics said the idea of embracing unproven treatments is risky.
Mike Long, chairman of the state Conservative Party, said his group is "staunchly opposed" to legalizing medical marijuana. Marijuana is a gateway drug, and the state would be sending the wrong signal to young people if it is decriminalized, he said.
"It would be a huge mistake," said Long, adding concerns about diversion of marijuana from patients to nonpatients.
Legal painkillers have side-effects, but so, too, does marijuana, Long said.
"In all honesty, I think the medical field has enough drugs for people who are in need," he said.
Medical marijuana legislation would easily pass again in the Assembly.
The 18 states that have legalized medical marijuana have done so through a combination of voter initiative ballot measures or, in the case of Connecticut, the most recent state to do so, by statute approved by lawmakers and governors.
Advocates, who now include the state's Independence Party, dismiss criticism that the measure would encourage people to get high, noting there are different ways to take the drug to limit its effects and that many patients only take marijuana at night as a way to help them sleep.
Peacock, who first spoke out on the issue in a Buffalo News article five years ago, said the power of the pharmaceutical industry is being felt on the matter.
"Let's forget about the politics. This is about people in pain. It's got nothing to do with people being liberal or conservative or Democratic or Republican. It's to help people," he said.
Peacock, who can afford prescription painkillers under his Medicare coverage, said they would cost $900 a month if he was paying out of pocket. He said when he took marijuana years ago it stopped the headaches and stomach cramps he suffers from the pills. But he is in a Catch-22 situation. His pain management doctor requires patients to get tested for recreational drug use each month.
"If they catch it in my system, they can't treat me anymore," he said.
Murphy said she has permanent nerve damage that affects the right side of her body.
"It's an uncomfortable, constant pain," she said, as she talked about her journey through the prescription painkiller route.
"It's not like we'd be getting high for the sake of getting high. It's not a leisure drug," she said of patients who want the medical marijuana bill approved. She also said she favors case studies in New York to test the effectiveness of the idea.
"But until insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies come up with a way to make money off it, it's not going to happen," she said.

Both my wife and I would love to have a Pedersen bike. Today there are two or three producers of the original Danish bike that lets you cruise elegantly through busy streets in an upright position (not sure I would raise my pinky though...LOL).
I tried riding one in Japan. It was a blast!
Because they are speciality bikes they often come highly customized to owner specs.
It's the kind of bike that owners tend to keep for many years. And most prefer the original signature "hanging" saddle which helps make this bike special.
Happy Cycling!

Sunday morning I pulled the covers high and took my time getting out of bed. Jeff and Noah went on a secret drive to Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks, where they bought a whole dozen donuts! (I usually only buy one per person) and iced lattes.
We ate Boston cremes and watched videos online at the table. And we were even way early for church.
I made BLTs for lunch and took the kids to the beach while Jeff watched the Bears. We gathered rocks in jars and hiked up the dunes. Later we baked pizza for dinner and I met my mom at the movies to see Footloose.
Monday was storytime at Barnes & Noble. We decided to surprise Mommal with magazines- the latest People and Large Print Reader's Digest. She was sleeping when we got there, but we woke her up and took her to the lake.
On the way home Ivy insisted on stopping by the farm at the orchard and it was just the most beautiful day, I couldn't say no. She sat on the tractors or raked hay the entire time. That evening I wrote here and here, then went to bed and it stormed and stormed.
Tuesday shared a lovely morning. When we weren't chasing bubbles or sprawled out in the backyard grass, I cleaned out the garage for winter and now I can actually park in there! Ivy played with her ponies on the driveway. We took a nap in my bed and whispered precious things I never wanted to forget but now I can't remember them.
I woke to a phone call, about my dear life-long friend Tammy and her sweet four-year-old daughter Phoenix. In an absolutely stunning turn of events, she is very sick with leukemia type A.L.L. pre B in critical condition right now. Like, within hours, they had no idea anything was wrong. My heart is still shaking. I -- and her entire family, army of friends -- appreciate your prayers, positive thoughts, and beliefs for her in this scary time. We're hoping to set up a way to help their family financially and I'll be sure to share when I have more details.
To say I've had a hard time thinking about anything else is an understatement. Heavy heart this evening.
Wednesday came to be, and it was library time with a Halloween parade. Ivy went as the green monster again. We got home and even though I had plenty of writing to do, we had no wifi. So instead we were able to meet beautiful friends Melissa and Hyacynth for lunch as they passed by on a road trip. It was good, and when we got home, the Internet was back up! So I wrote, and then got the kids ready for Halloween Night at school. This time Ivy made a few costume changes until she finally decided to be a flower child. Cool. Bedtime, Gray coughed and I heard croup. So we steamed in the bath before deep-breathing cold air. Then I put him to bed and wrote some more but didn't finish. Tended to my darling Gray and then checked on him all night long.
Thursday is nothing like we planned, but that's okay. We are missing a playdate with friends and breathing in the cold air. I've been putting off going to the store all week so now we scrounge through the cupboards to make things we find like Jiffy corn muffin mix and eat oatmeal for snack and later I might make hot pretzels.
Maybe we'll finally paint our beach rock families. Meet Noah (above.) I also predict a big fat nap in a few hours.
As seen on Ivy for this week's Small Style
- sunday: dress- tea collection, sweater- noppies via zulily
- monday: long sleeve t & skinny jeans- tea collection, star wars t & boots-target, sunglasses-gymboree

Great to see that Umbraco is getting more exposure it deserves, especially from Microsoft.
It is developer and designer friendly CMS.
But the installation and configuration using Windows Web Platform Installer is painful I 'm afraid, especially on Windows XP and Vista
I hope that will be resolved in short time.
Interesting. What problems did you run into? I installed it on Windows Server 2008 using WebPI and it was completely painless.

Roasted Red Pepper Alfredo Pasta Recipe
By Joanne Bruno | November 12, 2012
It seems almost incomprehensible now, but yes I was that full-blooded Italian child who hated tomato sauce with a fiery passion and insisted on ordering alfredo sauce each and every time my family went out to dinner. Never mind that I only ever took approximately four bites before being forced to stop by its overpowering richness – I knew what I wanted. And apparently that was a bowl full of heavy cream and fettuccine that I could barely choke down.
Oh, how times have changed. These days, I wouldn't order fettuccine alfredo off a restaurant menu if you paid me. In my opinion, it's just not worth the calories. But every so often, a craving does strike, and to satisfy it, I make this roasted red pepper goat cheese alfredo sauce. With the tangy richness from the goat cheese, the sauce is creamy without being overly so, and the roasted red pepper infusion adds a breath of fresh air along with some extra nutrition. It may not be the lightest meal in the world, but I can promise that it's worth every bite of creamy delicious indulgence.

LISBON - A Lisbon area man who led a sheriff's deputy on a high speed motorcycle chase in October was sentenced by Columbiana County Municipal Court Judge Mark Frost on Monday to 44 days in the county jail.
Devon Allen, 22, Glasgow Road, Lisbon, pleaded no contest to failure to comply, no license, reckless operation, speeding and expired registration. The failure to comply charge was reduced from a felony fleeing and eluding charge.
Defense attorney Chris Amato attributed his client's actions to being "young, dumb and blowing off steam." He added there were no drugs or alcohol involved, just a young man who bought a bike and made a bad decision.
While Amato suggested Allen, who served his country as a Marine, would like to do less jail time, Assistant County Prosecutor Don Humphrey Jr. asked Frost to stay with the agreed upon 44 days. Humphrey said it was part of the plea agreement, which included dropping the felony charge and he noted someone could have been injured during Allen's quest to flee from Deputy Richard Kimble.
According to reports at the time, Kimble attempted to stop the sports bike Allen was riding while it was southbound on state Route 7 near the intersection of Clarkson Road. The bike had an expired California license plate on it.
What followed was a chase which lasted 10 miles and with speeds of up to 90 mph. Allen continued onto state Route 267 into Glenmoor, then onto Irish Ridge Road and finally southbound on state Route 11. Besides Kimble other police departments in St. Clair Township, Liverpool Township and East Liverpool joined the pursuit to attempt to stop him.
Allen crashed on the entrance ramp to state Route 7 in East Liverpool, where he had tried to pass a semi truck but struck gravel, which caused him to crash on the left side of the ramp which heads toward Wellsville.
"We have to send a message to all those drivers who are being pulled over, making that split decision 'am I going to run from this officer,'" Humprhey said, adding at some point for those growing up watching the "Dukes of Hazzard," running from the police became commonplace and acceptable. "The reality is we have to bring this kind of behavior to a stop."
Frost noted the irony is Allen was sworn to protect his fellow citizens as a Marine and then his behavior placed them in danger.
"I sure don't want you to risk your own life," Frost said, "but you do not have the right to endanger other people's lives."
Frost also suggested those who grew up watching the "Dukes of Hazzard" are older than Allen, possibly riding Hoverounds. Humphrey responded the show is in syndication. According to the website Internet Movie Database (IMDb), the "Dukes of Hazzard" original series aired from 1979 to 1985.
In addition to the jail time, Allen was fined $400 and had his license suspended for six months, although he was granted limited driving privileges.
