Heart to God, Hand to Man
The manner in which need for assistance is verified and the spirit in which help is given are at the heart of Army service. The compassion and understanding shown in an emergency may open the way for assistance with deep-seated problems and long-term deprivation. Needs may be revealed for counseling, placement, day care, rehabilitation, referral, or other help.
With heart to God and hand to man, The Salvation Army in Vancouver, Washington strives to meet the basic needs of all who come seeking help. Taking immediate care of the basic human needs of food, shelter, clothing and safety is an important first step in the development of a more positive and permanent change in the people we help.
It is essential to note that at no time may participation in denominational activities be required as a condition for receiving needed services. All service given in the name of Jesus for meeting human needs and caring for hurting persons is in and of itself valued and is a spiritual ministry.
All requests are reviewed as funding and material goods are available.
Counseling This is nonprofessional peer counseling done by staff on a case-by-case short-term basis. |
Job Training We are a job training site for the Partners-In-Careers, a federally funded job training program. These individuals generally work as receptionists, intake workers, and warehouse workers in Vancouver, Washington. |
Disaster Relief Responding to man-made or natural disaster situations with the material, financial, and spiritual support to alleviate human suffering. |
Volunteer Jobs We offer opportunities for people to serve their community as interviewers, receptionist, data entry workers, food handlers, warehouse assistants, drivers, and holiday bell ringers in Vancouver, Washington. |
Summer Camp Giving children a chance to learn more about themselves, others, their environment, and God. |
Back to School We provide a new backpack filled with assorted school supplies donated by the local community. Donations are welcome year round. Registration begins in early August, in time for the childrens return to school each fall. |
Off-Site Lodging In cooperation with the Emergency Shelter Clearing house and other homeless programs, we provide lodging to individuals and families who cannot stay in public shelters for reasons related to health, behavior, or over-crowding. |
Rent/Mortgage Assistance We offer major financial aid to low-income families who are homeless or near homeless to secure permanent housing for a minimum of 30 days. |
Prescription Assistance We help individuals who have medical conditions that require a prescription they cannot afford and when they have exhausted all other options. |
Transportation Aid Available as funding permits. |
Emergency Food Boxes We provide 3-5 day supplies of nutritious food for families in need. This is the most common form of assistance requested by clients. This is also the most volunteer intensive area of our work in Vancouver, Washington. |
Open Table We offer bread, pastries, and other surplus items on shelves in our food room lobby. These are available on the honor system. |

Season 3, Episode 9

"Very Creepy Maggie" would have been more appropriate, if you ask me. God, I love this show. Just when there's nothing much going on, all of a sudden, Bam! Medium steps it up with a new show full of twists and turns and surprises. The whole doll beginnings were just fantastic, although Joe was not looking too sexy in his new body. He was looking like the exorcist with his head turned sideways. Even Allison mentioned that if she took off his doll clothes, there would be a "smooth little nub where your boy parts are supposed to be." I was frankly quite shocked and surprised to hear her say that. Especially as a doll. But no matter, I laughed. I found myself laughing out loud during this ep. But we'll get to that. This show was a bit on the disturbing side for my taste. I'm not generally a fan of shows about child abuse, but I thought it was handled quite well. That kid, Oliver, was so mature for a 6 year old. What I found most distressing is that his father, refastening his belt and slipping his watch back on after beating this tiny boy, had not one iota of shame or remorse in his heart. I know, I know, we find out later he'd been abused as a child, too. But OK, at some point you get over it, take responsibility for your life and become a better person. Evidently, not the case here. So why, when they were awoken in the middle of the night, did Joe get dressed and Allison sit at the kitchen table with the sheet around her? I know she has a robe. And who tears the sheet off the bed and wraps it around themselves toga-style? Very strange directing there. Or was the wardrobe department high? When we see Maggie the doll with the little girl, I thought, wow, this Maggie gets around. Little did we know then that Sarah Jane, Oliver's aunt, was the little girl. Thank god for Allison's dreams, or we'd still be in the dark house around that issue. When Allison showed up at the boy's house in the end, I thought she should be worried that Sarah Jane would end up being the boy's new abuser, but that didn't even seem to enter her mind. Or maybe when she said, "It stops here," she was getting at that. There may have been a tear or two near the end when Manny brings his wife to Last Gasp based on a message he received from his daughter through Allison. They quarrel a bit and then see the field of white zinnias. Not the most believable scene, but touching nonetheless. Back to the laughing: the entire scene with Scanlon was hysterical, but the best line was, "That Raggedy Ann may look out of shape, but she'll kick your butt." Oh, Scanlon, we miss you!! Please, writers, I implore you, please find a decent story line for Scanlon. We love him. He's so sexy and funny and underused! And, of course, who didn't think Joe would come down with chicken pox - it was inevitable. Everyone should get it at least once - you can't really be a part of the human race if you are allowed to escape the wrath of the chicken-pox rash! A pox upon ye! See you next week when our old friend the Texas Ranger, Captain Push, comes to town.

Fire Breaks Out Inside Kensington Home
December 22, 2011 9:08 AM
By Steve Beck
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Officials are investigating the cause of a house fire in Kensington early Thursday morning.
The fire started at about 1:30 a.m. in the third floor of a building at Kensington Avenue and Ontario Street.
Firefighters were able to quickly bring the blaze under control. There were no immediate reports of any injuries.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

I walked into the large hall quietly. It was a party and there were several rooms. I had been watching the people in the front hall through the glass doors for a while before making up my mind to join them. Some people glanced my way when I called out a greeting. Two older women walked over and said hi; they were smiling and I quickly warmed up to them. Soon a few more, including a couple of men, wandered over and we sat together, laughing and talking. Most of the people in the hall were glad to see a young cheerful person join the party. Somehow, I was able to shed my shyness with this group more quickly than I usually did.
There were halls to discuss politics, one to attend literary events and another to participate in debates. There was even a lounge especially for women and a place to talk about relationships and their palavas. I began to make friends, calling out to people across the hall, putting at ease the ones who had just joined and just generally having a good time. Sometimes, while the party went on, I went to one corner with a few friends and we chatted about our lives and things outside of the group. At other times, I left the party with some friends and we continued the discussion elsewhere. I gave some my number or email and told them to call me anytime.
As the months rolled past, it became clear that the party was a lot different from my usual life; I could talk on any range of issues I wanted at any time with any number of people. It was such a relief not to have to pretend, to conform to prejudged notions of how to be a woman. My writing was appreciated and my intellect respected. I could kick back and talk fluff today, yet when I quoted Rand the next day, no one raised an eyebrow. I relaxed and let the real me begin to enjoy herself. I learnt so much from so many different people. A lot of the ladies became good friends and soon, I also began to attract some attention from the guys.
One day, about a year after I joined the group, I got a message from an acquaintance. We had chatted a few times before, spent time together with other people, but never anything personal. I thought he was joking with his, "Hello, I know you're so hot, can I join the queue?" I sent my own reply tongue in cheek as well. "Well, the line is long but you can take a ticket." My heart beat fast as I did this because the sender of this mail was someone I had admired for some time. But a few months before, I had sent him Christmas greetings and it turned out he had moved away. Now he sent another mail. "I understand, let me know when it is my turn."
You may say, "What is this party? No party goes on for a year." And you'd be right. I'm talking about an online message board. It took me two weeks after that first message to decide to give my witty admirer a chance but the rest as they say is history. I soon called him to the top of the line and we began to exchange personal information. He lived in the United States and I was in Edinburgh, Scotland. Distance almost scuttled our romance but we eventually overcame that. Today he is my husband.
The poem below was shared with my husband as a wedding gift when we got married on February 14, 2009. Finding him and finding love have been the best things that happened in my entire life. As we approach our second anniverary, the love only grows stronger. My wish is that everyone, no matter at what point in their lives, will find love and happiness too. Thanks for reading.
I've been saving my words
For the one I love
Now I finally found you
I'll speak of no other
I've been saving my eyes
For the one I love
Now I've finally seen you
I'll look at no other
I've been saving my dreams
For the one I love
Now I've finally know yours
We can share our dreams
I've been saving myself
For the one I love
Now I've finally met you
I'll give it to no other
I've been saving my heart
For the one I love
Now I've given it to you
It will beat for you alone
I've been saving my love
Specially for you
Now you're in my life
We'll be together forever

John Henry Thomas Manners-Sutton, 3rd Viscount Canterbury KCB, GCMG (27 May 1814 – 24 June 1877), known as the Honourable Sir John Manners-Sutton between 1866 and 1869, was a British Tory politician and colonial administrator.
Contents |
A member of the Manners family headed by the Duke of Rutland, Manners-Sutton was born at Downing Street, London, the second and youngest son of Charles Manners-Sutton, 1st Viscount Canterbury, Speaker of the House of Commons, by his first wife Lucy, daughter of John Denison. His mother died when he was one year old.[1] He was educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating with a MA in 1835.[2] In his youth he played first-class cricket for Cambridge University Cricket Club and Marylebone Cricket Club.[3]
Manners-Sutton was returned to Parliament for Cambridge in September 1839. However, in April 1840 his election was declared void. He was returned for the same constituency in 1841 and held it until 1847.[4] He served as Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department from 1841 to 1846 in Sir Robert Peel's second administration.[1]
In 1854 Manners-Sutton was appointed Lieutenant-Governor of New Brunswick,[5] a post he held until 1861.[1] He later served as Governor of Trinidad from 1864 to 1866[1][6] and as Governor of Victoria from 1866 to 1873.[1][7][8] He was appointed a Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath in 1866 and a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1873. In 1869 he succeded in the viscountcy of Canterbury on the death of his unmarried elder brother.[1]
Lord Canterbury married Georgiana, daughter of Charles Tompson, of Witchingham Hall, Norwich, in 1838. They had five sons and one daughter. He died at Queensberry Place, Kensington, London, in June 1877, aged 63, and was succeeded by his eldest son, Henry. The Viscountess Canterbury died at Seething Old Hall, Norfolk, in September 1899.[1]

Malida Guesthouse
Professionally run, but not the best value
What we say:
Set outside the tourist zone, Malida occupies a cute white house with a green tiled roof. There isn't much in terms of furniture or style, but rooms are spotlessly clean. Rooms come with air-con, but they do feel quite budget which isn't in keeping with the higher than budget price. There are two shared balconies, one overlooking the sleepy street out front, and another in the back. Service is professional and rooms are cleaned daily, but prices still seem high for what you get. Rates include a breakfast of baguettes and eggs, best enjoyed in the garden.

The Cincinnati Bengals are heading to Houston next week to take on the Texans in the first-round of the 2012 NFL playoffs, in a game nicknamed "The Rematch", or the "The Vengeance".
Entering Week 17, Cincinnati's opponent remained undetermined with the four division winners needing to work things out to lock their respective position for the postseason. Houston, only needing a win to lock the No. 1 seed, lost their early afternoon game 28-16 to the Indianapolis Colts while the New England Patriots and Denver Broncos soundly beat the Miami Dolphins and Kansas City Chiefs respectively.
This gave the Broncos a 13-3 record and sole position of the No. 1 seed (no tiebreakers applied). New England's win over the Miami Dolphins gave the Patriots the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye, locking Houston into the No. 3 seed as the late afternoon games unfolded.
The early storyline for next week's game will feature Cincinnati looking to avenge their 20-point loss to the Texans last year, knocking the Bengals out of last season's playoffs. Yet this time around, both teams are going in opposition directions. Whereas the Bengals have won seven of their last eight games, the Texans have lost three of their last four.
Dates and times for the game will be determined later, following Sunday Night Football.
Cincinnati Bengals | Houston Texans | TBD | TBD |
Indianapolis Colts | Baltimore Ravens | TBD | TBD |
1. | Denver Broncos | 13-3 |
2. | New England Patriots | 12-4 |
3. | Houston Texans | 12-4 |
4. | Baltimore Ravens | 10-6 |
5. | Indianapolis Colts | 11-5 |
6. | Cincinnati Bengals | 10-6 |

Congratulations to the 2014 February recipients.
Adaptive has selected 4 winners for the Young Investigator Award. Each recipient will receive $5,000 to use for sequencing to assist in his/her research in immunology. The next group of winners will be chosen from applications due April 30. Click here to apply »
Ioannis Politikos, M.D., Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center
Research Summary: Patients undergoing umbilical cord blood transplantation (UCBT) have increased risk for reactivation of human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6), which is the leading cause of central nervous system complications after UCBT. In order to understand the immunologic mechanisms responsible for HHV-6 reactivation, we will use the ImmunoSEQ technology to characterize and monitor the TCR repertoire in response to HHV6. First, we will use T cells from patients with high levels of HHV-6 viremia for in vitro stimulation with immunogenic HHV-6-specific peptides and we will identify TCR dominant clones by deep sequencing of the Vb TCR locus. Subsequently, we will perform deep sequencing analysis in the T cells of UCBT recipients with and without HHV-6 viremia, in order to investigate the existence and dominance of HHV6-specific clones in vivo. These studies will determine the quantitative and qualitative profile of the HHV-6-specific responses overtime. Furthermore, by correlation with clinical outcomes, our studies may enable the identification of UCBT recipients at high risk for uncontrolled reactivation of HHV-6, which represents the most serious cause of post-transplant encephalitis.
Wade Iams, M.D., Vanderbilt University Medical Center
Research Summary: Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive form of lung cancer with a poor prognosis. Since treatments and outcomes for patients with SCLC have not significantly changed over the past 30 years, there is an urgent need to define novel therapeutic strategies. Recently, immune checkpoint inhibitors have successfully been used to treat patients with SCLC. However, there are limited data supporting biomarkers of response to these agents. We hypothesize that characterization of the immune repertoire of T cells infiltrating tumors in patients with SCLC will provide insight into an underlying immunologic signature that predicts response to immune checkpoint inhibition.
Natalie Miller, University of Washington School of Medicine
Research Summary: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive neuroendocrine skin cancer caused by Merkel Cell Polyomavirus (MCPyV). Over half of MCC patients mount an adaptive immune response to the MCPyV T-Antigen, and patient survival is positively correlated with tumor infiltration by CD8+ T cells. We propose to tetramer sort HLA*A02:01-restricted T cells recognizing one commonly immunogenic MCPyV epitope from PBMC of MCC patients and use the immunoSEQ platform to determine the TCR alpha and beta repertoire of these CD8+ cells. We hope to detect any public TCRs among this cohort, as well as possible differences in repertoire among patients with different disease courses.
Daniel Lowther, Yale
Research Summary: Using TCRbeta sequencing to understand how the anti-tumor immune response infiltrating meningiomas impacts tumor progression and predicts malignancy.
2013 November recipients.
David B. Page, Ph.D., Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center
Research Summary: In locally advanced breast cancer, lymphocytic tumor infiltration correlates with long-term survival following neoadjuvant chemotherapy. We will utilize the platform to test the hypothesis that chemotherapy serves to 'auto-vaccinate' against tumor antigens, generating a clonal T-cell response that might be protective against recurrence.
Xiaoti Guo, Ph.D., North Shore-LIJ Health System
Research Summary: Natural antibodies bind and eliminate infectious microbes, but also can bind self components and help dispose of cellular debris, thereby avoid activation of the immune system and initiation of autoimmune disease, including lupus. We will study human anti-phosphorylcholine (PC) autoantibody that we propose works to prevent lupus, to learn what B lymphocytes produce this antibody, how the antibody binds PC, whether the antibody is different when it comes from healthy individuals vs patients with lupus, and whether the antibody protects animals predisposed to develop lupus. We will perform next-generation sequencing with the Immunoseq platform to examine the repertoire and structure of anti-PC antibodies. The deep sequencing data will tell us whether B1 cell-derived anti-PC Ab is distinct in terms of VDJ usage, CDRH3 properties, N-addition and VH mutation when compared with other B cell subsets; and whether B cells of autoimmune patients produce qualitatively and quantitatively distinct anti-PC Abs.
Krithika Kodumudi, Ph.D., H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center
Research Summary: Adoptive transfer of tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) has emerged as a promising approach to induce effective anti-tumor immunity and tumor regression. Although T cells are able to infiltrate tumors, studies have shown that TIL are inactivated in vivo due to various suppressive factors in the local tumor microenvironment, including regulatory T cells, myeloid derived suppressor cells, and co-inhibitory receptors such as CTLA-4 and PD-1. We hypothesize that blockade of the PD-1/ PD-L1 pathway will lead to increased T cell diversity within tumors. Our aim is to characterize the immune repertoire of T cells (TCRbeta) infiltrating tumors. Using ImmunoSEQ technology, characterization of TIL will reveal the clonal composition of T cell populations and provide insight into the clonality and heterogeneity of the TIL in solid tumors after PD-L1 blockade.
Vinay S Mahajan, M.D., Ph.D., Center for Cancer Research, Massachusetts General Hospital
Research Summary: IgG4-related disease is a chronic immune-mediated condition characterized by extensive tissue fibrosis and is treatable by rituximab with an excellent clinical response in nearly all patients. However, the disease relapses after 6-12 months in a subset of individuals and we have found that relapse is heralded by the reemergence of specific disease-associated T and B cell populations. We intend to use the ImmunoSeq platform for quantitative repertoire analysis of these lymphocyte subsets to assess the mechanism of post-rituximab disease relapse in these patients.
Catherine Meador, Vanderbilt University
Research Summary: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. To gain insights into how the immune system plays a role in lung tumorigenesis, we propose to use immunoSEQ technology to study the T cell repertoire in human lung cancer specimens.
2013 July recipients.
Matthew Rausch, Ph.D., University of Arizona College of Medicine Phoenix
Research Summary: The processing and presentation of peptide antigens by professional antigen presenting cells is a critical first step in the initiation of T cell-mediated immune responses. Studies in mice have revealed that altering the cellular antigen processing machinery of antigen presenting cells can significantly change the self peptide repertoire presented under steady state conditions. However, the impact of this altered antigen presentation on the T cell repertoire has not been investigated. I will use the immunoSEQ technology to analyze how altering the antigen processing machinery of mouse antigen presenting cells impacts the T cell repertoire. The results of this project are anticipated to provide us with new insights into how antigen processing and presentation affects T cell responses with implications for the treatment of autoimmunity and cancer.
Lauren Henderson, Ph.D., Boston Children's Hospital
Research Summary: Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatologic disorder affecting children yet the cause of this disease is unknown. Past studies have demonstrated the importance of T lymphocytes in JIA. By characterizing the T cell repertoire in the synovial fluid and peripheral blood of patients with JIA, I hope to further elucidate the pathogenesis of this disease.
2013 May Recipients
David Bernal, Ph.D., Universidad Nacional de Colombia
Research Summary: In our laboratory we are working on the immunogenicity of tumors in breast cancer patients. With immunoSEQ we will sequence CD8 specific tumor antigen TCR from those patients and total CD8 TCR before and after chemotherapy to evaluate if the repertoire frequency of specific T cells is altered by cancer treatment and correlate these results with their clinical response.
Kirstin Heutinck, Ph.D., Academic Medical Center Amsterdam
Research Summary: In kidney transplant recipients, the presence of virus-specific T cells with cross-reactivity to allogeneic-HLA molecules of donor origin, may negatively influence transplant outcome. To characterize cross-reactive T cell responses in transplant recipeints, I will the immunoSEQ technology to analyse the clonality of the response and to follow cross-reactive T cell clones in time.
Jamie Lynn Harden, Ph.D., The Rockefeller University
Research Summary: Psoriasis is a chronic, debilitating inflammatory skin disease characterized by red, scaly plaques. Although the role of T cells in this disease has been well established, the antigen specificity of the pathogenic T-cells in psoriasis is largely unknown. Additionally, gamma-delta T-cells have been gaining interest as a cellular contributor to psoriasis. In this pilot study, both the gamma and the beta human T-cell immunoSEQ platforms will be utilized to compare the Tcell repertoire in normal and psoriatic skin. A more detailed understanding of the Tcell populations in psoriasis is a critical next step to elucidating the etiology of this disease, as well as possible new therapeutic targets.
2013 February Recipients
Alan Watson, Ph.D., University of Pittsburgh
Research Summary: T cell responses elicited by the live-attenuated Yellow Fever Virus (YFV) Vaccine play a role in protecting the host against infection with wild-type (wt)YFV in our mouse model; however, non-vaccinated mice succumb to disease following wtYFV infection despite eliciting surprisingly high numbers of polyfunctional T cells. I will use the immunoSEQ system to compare the clonotypic diversity of T cells elicited following vaccination or infection with wtYFV and ask whether differences in T cell repertoire may explain immune control of the YFV vaccine and immune evasion by wtYFV.
Sven Malchow, Ph.D., University of Chicago, Dept. of Pathology
Research Summary: In a recent study, we demonstrated that the thymic development of some naturally occurring Foxp3+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) is dependent on the transcriptional regulator Aire (autoimmune-regulator). Aire expression in the thymus drives the ectopic expression of peripheral tissue self antigens, and Aire-deficiency in mice and humans results in multi-organ autoimmunity. The relative contribution of Aire-dependent Tregs to the peripheral Treg pool is unknown. I will use the immunoSEQ technology to elucidate the prevalence of Aire-dependent Tregs within the peripheral repertoire by determining the extent of TCR β chain repertoire overlap between CD4+Foxp3neg and CD4+Foxp3+ T cell populations derived from wild-type and Aire-deficient mice. The results of this study are anticipated to provide new insights into the antigen specificities and development of Tregs, with implications for the treatment of autoimmunity and cancer.
Marta Pasikowska, King's College London
Research Summary: We would like to perform analysis of TCR beta repertoire diversity of CD4+ T cell found in non-reactive lymph nodes from healthy individuals. These studies would broaden our understanding of the dynamics of T cell circulation and retention in lymph nodes in normal health. In addition, they would serve as reference point for our studies looking into the changes in the TCR beta diversity in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and will hopefully help other researchers to interpret the results of their studies on TCR diversity in other disease-involved lymph nodes.
Michela Bardini, Centro Ricerca Tettamanti University of Milan Bicocca
Research Summary: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia with the Mixed-Lineage Leukemia gene rearrangement occurring within the first year of age (MLL+ Infant ALL) is a very aggressive disease, associated to an overall dismal prognosis, in which the MLL gene rearrangement is the pre-natal and powerful genetic event driving and hastening the leukemia initiation.
By clonal studies in relapsed patients, and serial xeno-trasplantation assays into immunedeficient NOD/SCID mice, we have uncovered an exceptional clonal diversity and competition/selection of multiple co-existing leukemic clones (as for example we have observed that dominant clones at disease presentation might persist or extinguish at relapse; whilst 'new' clones, which were indeed minor component of the leukemic bulk but quiescent at diagnosis, might reactivate and take over at relapse).
In the proposed study we will perform next-generation profiling of Ig/TCR gene rearrangements in order to i. further dissect the clonal composition of MLL+ leukemia and ii. follow the dynamics of competition/selection of multiple pre- existing leukemia-initiating clones during disease progression; both in paired diagnosis/relapse samples from MLL+ infant ALL patients, as well as in xenograft leukemia samples from serially transplanted mice.

Research Summary: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains the most aggressive and prognostically devastating primary brain tumor, unusually persistent in the face of surgical, chemotherapeutic, radiological intervention. We are studying the links between glioma progression (and suppression) and perturbation of the T cell population within the tumor and the periphery with both human patient samples and our murine model.
Gaurav Gaiha, Ph.D., Ragon Institute of MGH, MIT and Harvard
Research Summary: Given recent findings implicating the role of CD8+ T cell receptor clonotypes in HIV control, we propose using the immunoSEQ platform to profile the entire TCR beta repertoire of HIV-specific CD8+ T cells from patients with known periods of controlled and progressive infection. This unique intra-patient comparative approach would provide a first in-kind perspective on the global changes in HIV-specific TCR repertoires that account for these divergent clinical presentations, ultimately guiding further development and monitoring of efficacious T cell based vaccines.
Eric Allenspach, Ph.D., Seattle Children's Hospital
Research Summary: My project proposal is to compare the naïve B cell IgH repertoire of normal human control samples with patients with human primary immunodeficiency syndromes. Many patients have autoimmunity symptoms that may be explained by a shift in the peripheral B cell repertoire.
Taizo Nakano, M.D., Children's Hospital Colorado
Research Summary: Neuroblastoma, the most common extracranial solid tumor in infants and young children, accounts for 15% of childhood cancer mortality. We hypothesize that T cells actively undergo clonal expansion in response to neuroblastoma and that overrepresented T cell receptor repertoire sequences will act as diagnostic and/or prognostic tools that will influence treatment decisions and lead to novel antigen discovery. Variations in the diversity of the anti-tumor immune repertoire amongst patients with stage IV neuroblastoma, between patients of low stage and high stage disease, and after the administration of induction chemotherapy will greatly expand our current understanding of neuroblastoma immunology.
2012 August Recipients
Evaggelia Liaskou, University of Birmingham, UK
Research Summary: Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic liver disease, characterized by progressive inflammation, fibrosis and destruction of the bile ducts. Studies suggest that T cells play a pivotal role in the progression of PSC disease. In this project, we propose to isolate T cells from human PSC liver tissue and matched peripheral blood and using the immunoSEQ technology to profile the human T cell receptor beta, in order to investigate the presence of specific TCRs in PSC patients that will help us understand what antigens might be able to interact with the variable regions and thus identify what causes the activation of T cells in human PSC liver.
Kyle K. Payne, Virginia Commonwealth University – Massey Cancer Center
Research Summary: Through the use of ultrahigh-throughput sequence analysis, this project proposes to determine whether the T cells of patients with breast cancer exhibit a unique molecular signature in VDJ gene recombination of the TcR Vβ following an ex vivo T cell expansion and re-programming protocol developed by our group. The existence of distinct TcR clonotypes in re-programmed T cells would provide rationale for future immunomonitoring of TcR Vβ recombination in breast cancer patients in order to predict objective responses following initial therapy.
Alison Smith, Tulane University
Research Summary: Obesity is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by activation and infiltration of T cells into adipose tissues, which is an integral step in the development of associated metabolic syndromes such as diabetes. The goal of this project is to analyze the variable region of T cells in adipose tissue from obese patients with type-2 diabetes using a high-throughput sequencing method in order to better understand the role of T cells in the pathophysiology of this disease.
Patrick Hanley, Baylor College of Medicine
Research Summary: We have an ongoing clinical trial where we infuse virus-specific T cells derived from cord blood into cord blood transplant recipients. Using TCR sequencing, we are trying to determine whether the T cells that we give to the patients persist in vivo and correlate with protection or resolution of viral infections.

Bob Dylan once sent a two-word lyric to Ben Harper, a talented songwriter he admired. "Well well," was the lyric, and Dylan challenged Harper to make a song of it.
He did! By adding another "well" to the title, Harper wrote "Well, well, well" — a stinging lament about America's clean-water well going dry due to waste and greed.

Conan O'Brien is shelling out his own cash to some ex-staffers who didn't get jack from that $7.5 million separation deal from NBC.
According to sources close to production, Conan's stagehands from "The Tonight Show" were not covered by the NBC severance plan. But we're told Conan is stepping up -- promising to pay his nearly 50 person crew at least six weeks severance out of his own pocket.
Conan's people had no comment.
The union for his former crew -- IATSE Local 33 -- says all the members who worked with Conan are "very happy" with the way he handled the whole mess.
conan is a great guy,period
not his fault he lost his job
he was in line to take over the tonight show and he did,but if jay leno has gracefully bowed out and not made his own show on another network,COMPETING with the guy who has taken his place as tradition,none of this would have happened
conans ratings suffered because jay leno went and did his own show,so people still watched leno instead of conan
leno is a nasty person but with a conscience coz he sure is apologizing about it wherever he can
leno will get whats coming to him,not becoz of superstition but usually guys like that are in their own way sooner or later
conan,u are a class act,truly an example of how people should live with eachother
(takes off my hat to you,sir)
let's see now-about 50 stage hands making what?
maybe $500 a week if they're lucky
that's ....let's see....
and multiply that times 6 weeks.....
and then subtract the total from what....over 30 million
so the poor guy is left with only how many million?
and the unemployed stagehands will have to pay how much income tax on it...
Conan isn't stupid-it's very calculated-right down to it being "leaked" to the press
he couldn't have bought such PR for that small amount of money -lest anyone be fooled
had he cared about the crew he would have accepted the bump back of half an hour for the show temporarily and seen how that worked until he could have come to a better deal with NBC
so 6 weeks pay vs. years of pay and benefits and pension
wonder what the stage hands would have voted for if they were consulted on Conan's ego driven decision
and..to those of you who are worried avbout the integrity of the Tonight Show and not moving it a half an hour-because of years of tradition for the show
check your facts-the show used to be an hour and a half long-you're probably not old enough to remember
so NBC has changed things when it was necessary
they are not locked into things
especially if they aren't working
Conan is a class act. I no longer watch Jay Leno. Hope his ratings go way down. He is boring. Team Coco all the way.
Of course he should have paid the severance money... it was his own damn fault!
He could have still been on TV and they would have all still had jobs... booooo boooo conan...
p.s. I cant stand Jay Leno either... booo on you both
Dear Internet,
It's a sad situation when someone does something good and gets trashed for it. Seems that Leno fans are always on the defensive. Hmmm....wonder why? Team Conan!
How selfless! Hope to see Conan back on TV in September.
PS. Join this fan page on facebook http://www.facebook.com/imwithcoco?ref=ts
Most people would think that thinking about the money or keeping the job is important, no matter where the show sits.
But that didn't matter to Conan. There is no one who respected the Tonight Show as an art more than Mr. O'Brien. He'd rather have lost his job than sacrificed the integrity of the program. Sure, the show used to be an hour and a half. I think that Saturday Night Live is the only variety show left on television that still remains that long. But Conan was no stranger to performing for only an hour. He did it for sixteen years.
If you think he mistreated his staff, then just listen to what everyone says. Everyone says his staff loves him. Tom Hanks says his staff will follow him anywhere he goes. The staff moved across the country to be with him, for God's sake. They'll most likely follow him wherever he goes in September. He very publicly fought for his writers during the writers' strike. And now he gives $7 million to his stagehands? How many of you have $7,000,000? How many of you have $1,000,000? Sure, it's a drop in the bucket compared to what a millionare owns. But for a stagehand, can you imagine? You can live on that for a good while! I personally live from paycheck to paycheck. Would your boss pay out of his pocket for your benefit? If my boss did that for me, I'd gladly work for him (and lose my job because of him) more than once!
I don't argue whether or not Jay did this for his staff. To me, this isn't about Jay. This is about how Conan is human, whether he's a millionare or not. Everyone else would have said, "Hell, I'll stay for the money." Or, "This is TV! You roll with it, with whatever works!" Sure, but... don't any of you wish TV didn't work that way? Don't any of you wish you had the freedom to do what you believed in, instead of doing what you do for the money? BECAUSE he makes that much, he CAN do what he believes in instead.
For this reason, my fandom remains loyal. I'm not here to drag Jay through the mud. I'm here in support of a good person.
marzgurl...couldn't have said it better myself. if i were one of his staffers, i would gladly follow him wherever he went.
Conan is a CLASSY, decent man. He's also really funny to those of us under 80 years old. Can't wait to see what network he goes to, because we plan to follow him!
I totally agree with "7"!!! That donation will be a "Tax Writeoff" for Conan. And all the help for Haiti is fine but people in the US are homeless, living in tents..without jobs, medical insurance, and nothing to eat while we send billions to help a country that doesnt even like us?? Not to mention they are ruled by a dictator..
Conan you are pure class! I wish you the best of luck and hope to see you soon... Take some time off and then go be creative...
Love ya!
It's his fault those people are losing their jobs. He's obligated to do something like that. And it's not only about his own personal gain: it's about his staff. His selfishness caused hundreds of people to lose their job. It's good that he's doing what he's doing, but it's fault why they lost their job. Conan quit his job because of some warped sense of integrity, which caused people who would have been more than happy to move back a half an hour. Leno got hurt too when they fired him twice. However, Leno kept taking deals NBC threw at him because he actually cared about his staff. Leno respects the TTS too, but his staff came before the franchise.

The clean-up work is in full swing after two houses on Clark Street in east Toledo were torn down recently, and both contained asbestos materials.
Crews wore their protective gear as they loaded up the rubble and took it to an alternative dump site.
Irvin Clark, who lives on that street, says he knew the house at 844 Clark was not properly abated before it was demolished.
"Underneath the vinyl siding was asbestos shingle," he said. "The asbestos shingle was just covered up with vinyl."
Lucas County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz oversees the Lucas County Land Bank program, and he says a private inspector failed to notice the asbestos before clearing the way for demolition.
"Unfortunately the vendor we worked with didn't do their job, just missed it. We have replaced them," Kapszukiewicz said. "We're going to bring in a new vendor and make sure it doesn't happen again."
Kapszukiewicz says in the case of 864 Clark, the asbestos was found, but it wasn't completely removed before that house was torn down.
For Irvin Clark, he's worried about potential health problems for families in the area.
"This created such a cloud that it engulfed this portion of the neighborhood," he said.
Kapszukiewicz says this is the first case of asbestos not being detected before demolition, as part of the Land Bank's massive vacant house demo program, with 500 houses taken down so far.
"Working with the city, we'll certainly participate in any follow-up to make sure the health of the neighborhood is sound."

Vincent J. Scully
New Haven, Connecticut
Award Type: Crowninshield Award
Vincent J. Scully, Sterling Professor Emeritus of the History of Art at Yale University and Distinguished Visiting Professor at the University of Miami, has been called the most important interpreter of art and architecture of our time. For 61 years, he has inspired generations of students with his unique style of "lecture performance" and his original and penetrating analysis of art, architecture, landscape, urbanism, cultural heritage and the human spirit. The author of 20 books, Scully has taught, trained and mentored many of the nation's foremost art historians, artists, architects, preservationists and critics.
Observing early in his teaching career that urban development policies during the 1950s tended to destroy neighborhoods, Scully sounded an early warning call against the policies and practices of urban renewal. A Trustee Emeritus of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Scully has been on the front lines of the preservation movement, condemning sprawl as the enemy of the historic American landscape. Many important battles in Scully's native New Haven, including the fight to save New Haven's Public Library and City Hall, were won because of his tireless effort and commitment.
Scully enrolled as a student at Yale at the age of 16. More than 65 years later, the dean of Yale's School of Architecture, Robert A.M. Stern, announced the establishment of the Vincent J. Scully Jr. Visiting Professorship in Architectural History at Yale. Scully is a recipient of the National Medal of Arts, the United States' highest honor for artists and arts patrons, and dozens of other accolades. In 1999, the National Building Museum endowed the Vincent Scully Prize to recognize exemplary practice, scholarship, or criticism in architecture, historic preservation, and urban design.
"There is no candidate more worthy of the National Trust's highest honor for lifetime achievement than Professor Vincent Scully," said Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. "He is a hero of mine, as he is to so many others who appreciate great design and great architecture. Through his life's work, Vincent Scully has helped preserve the heritage of our nation."

When you're looking to bring extra flavor, taste and crunch to all the foods you love, look no further than a handful of almonds. This delicious addition can make any anything you create a little bit more special and a whole lot more irresistible.
Check out these examples of how easy it is to use almonds in your cooking and baking:
Make "nut crumbs" by coarsely grinding almonds in a food processor. Use them as a wholesome gratin topping for casseroles, or sprinkle on pasta and grain dishes.
Bursting with flavor, savory seasoned almonds are the perfect topping for your favorite main dish or side. In a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, toss whole natural or slivered almonds in a small amount of vegetable oil until golden. Add your choice of dried herbs and then sprinkle over salads, vegetables, or pasta.
Mix roasted, slivered, or sliced almonds into grain-based dishes, such as Middle Eastern classic tabbouleh or other bulgur wheat salads to add flavor, nutrition, and crunch. Or pair them with quinoa, hailed as the "super grain of the future."
The mild flavor of almonds is the perfect complement to vibrant Asian flavors. Try tossing finely diced roasted almonds into a ginger-shrimp sauté or adding roasted whole natural almonds to Chinese vegetable stir-fry dishes.
Almond butter is a nutritious and hearty topping for bagels or muffins and it's a snap to make at home. Just chop whole natural almonds in a food processor and blend with a little vegetable oil and salt and until almost smooth.
The buttery flavor and crunchy texture of almonds make them a perfect topper for freshly baked, low-fat scones and breads. Before baking scones, brush them with milk or egg whites and top with slivered or chopped almonds. And for extra special quick breads sprinkle chopped almonds on them before baking, or knead roasted, chopped, or slivered almonds into yeast bread dough.
To give hot cereal just a little more panache, mix in dried cranberries or cherries, plus a generous amount of chopped, roasted almonds just before serving. Serve with skim milk and a drizzle of maple syrup.
Satisfy the palate while watching the waistline by steaming your favorite fresh fish and vegetables, and sprinkling them with roasted, sliced almonds. Serve with wedges of lemon or lime.
Enhance a plain-roasted chicken by stuffing it with diced apples, onions, garlic, herbs, and coarsely chopped, roasted almonds.
To make surprisingly delicious and crunchy "croutons," heat oven to 350°F. Then toss 2/3 cup slivered almonds with 2 teaspoons olive oil in a shallow baking pan and arrange them in a single layer. Next, sprinkle with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt before baking 10 to 15 minutes until golden brown, tossing once. Cool and toss the "croutons" with green salads just before serving, or sprinkle on steamed vegetables.
On the indulgent side…
Almonds can add that certain extra something to decadent sweets and treats.
Now cheesecake can be dressed for success. Simply sprinkle roasted, slivered, or chopped almonds over the top of the cake to cover and press down lightly.
Top off a sundae with a generous amount of roasted, slivered almonds.
Visual appeal is important in cooking. Make a practical parfait look sinful by layering frozen yogurt, puréed frozen berries, and roasted sliced almonds in an elegant stemmed glass. You can also make individual trifles by adding layers of cubed angel food cake. Garnish with sprigs of mint, sliced almonds, or whole berries.
Make your baking worthy of even more compliments by adding almonds to your cookies, cakes, or other treats.

Educators do all in their power to prepare you to enjoy reading after college. It is right that you should read according to your temperament, occupations, hobbies, and vocations. But it is a sign of great inner insecurity to be hostile to the unfamiliar, unwilling to explore the unfamiliar. In science, we respect the research worker. In literature, we should not always read the books blessed by the majority. This trend is reflected in such absurd announcements as "the death of the novel," "the last of the romantics," "the last of the Bohemians," when we know that these are continuous trends which evolve and merely change form. The suppression of inner patterns in favor of patterns created by society is dangerous to us. Artistic revolt, innovation, experiment should not be met with hostility. They may disturb an established order or an artificial conventionality, but they may rescue us from death in life, from robot life, from boredom, from loss of the self, from enslavement.
When we totally accept a pattern not made by us, not truly our own, we wither and die. People's conventional structure is often a façade. Under the most rigid conventionality there is often an individual, a human being with original thoughts or inventive fantasy, which he does not dare expose for fear of ridicule, and this is what the writer and artist are willing to do for us. They are guides and map makers to greater sincerity. They are useful, in fact indispensable, to the community. They keep before our eyes the variations which make human beings so interesting. The men who built America were the genuine physical adventurers in a physical world. This world once built, we need adventurers in the realm of art and science. If we suppress the adventure of the spirit, we will have the anarchist and the rebel, who will burst out from too narrow confines in the form of violence and crime.

Putt putt at Pauline Haass Library 25th anniversary celebration
Library turns into mini golf course for 25th celebration
The Pauline Haass Public Library is celebrating its 25th anniversary this weekend, and Library Director Kathy Klager has more in store than just a little cake and punch.
Stacks of books will fade into the background briefly as the community is invited to tee it up during a mini golf event Saturday and Sunday to celebrate a quarter century for the joint library, which is shared between Sussex and Lisbon. Klager has been with the joint library since the days of its inception in 1988-89, when she joined as a staff librarian. Klager came from the Oconomowoc library and was there when officials started to plan how the library building would be built in 1996.
"I've stayed through all the changes. When we established the joint library from the Sussex Community Library, overnight we went from serving 4,000 patrons to 12,000.
"And all the excitement going on around here has never stopped," said Klager. "We don't sit on our hands around here, which makes it fun to come to work."
In 25 years, Klager said, there's no shortage of evidence of how the library has grown and changed.
When the joint library was established, 65,000 materials were checked out in the first year; in 2012, 322,000 items were checked out. Klager said the library went from 22,000 books 25 years ago to 110,000 books today - 30,000 of those books are e-books. "So you can see today we have more e-books today than we had physical books when the library started," the director pointed out.
The library had 60 videos when it started and now has 6,000 DVDs; there were 376 audio materials 25 years ago compared to 16,000 today, with 10,000 of those being downloadable audio books, said Klager.
However, through all the changes over the last quarter century, "it's still about the books," Klager said. She cited a recent Pew Research Center report that said more than 80 percent of those polled think traditional books remain important. And while books remain integral to the library's operations, Klager said she's proud to note the Pauline Haass Public Library remains a central part of the community's operations.
"So we have a lot to celebrate … and we're hoping for 25 more great years," said Klager.
Instead of just sitting down to some punch and cake, the library is inviting you to a little putt putt, and the entire community has been getting involved in creating the fun. Just like a traditional golf outing event, local businesses have been asked to participate by sponsoring holes.
For example, Landmark Credit Union's hole will feature a lighthouse like one used in the bank's logo, and you'll hear some sea sounds playing at that hole. And Advanced Orthodontics - whose tagline is, "Leave with a smile" - will have smiley face balloons featured at its hole, and you'll putt into the mouth of a creature … think of the story about the crocodile's visit to the dentist.
Tee Time at the Library is from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9, and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10, at the library, N64 W23820 Main St. One round of golf cost $3 per person or $10 for a group of four. Every person who plays will be entered into a drawing for prizes, and anyone who gets a hole-in-one on the designated hole is eligible to win $100. Proceeds will go toward children's programming.
Library operations will be on hold for the weekend for the sake of safety, Klager said.
