MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- Want to know what Dana Holgorsen hopes to read about his West Virginia football team today?
Nothing. Absolutely nothing.
Spring football is finished. The draft is done. It'll be months before good things begin to happen, which means the alternative is all that's available.
If the Mountaineers coach had his way, he'd go all the way through the end of July and neither see nor hear anything about the team that's about to take great expectations into the Big 12 Conference beginning next season.
Oh, glowing features and optimistic columns will be typed from now until then, but he'll ignore them, even the ones he contributes to along the way. That's the way he and so many other coaches happen to be wired. If he and his coaches and their players are doing their jobs, be it individually or collectively, the attention is merely a byproduct.
The lead position on your favorite dot-com, the spot above the fold on the front page of your local sports section, the magazine covers? Comes with the territory, and since he didn't get into the business for any of that, he's not going to get excited and pay much attention to them now.
Yet if his gaze is drawn to a particular periodical sometime soon, it's quite likely for the wrong reason and it probably contains the following statement we've come to know too well:
"I have been made aware of the situation and am gathering facts at this time. I will take appropriate action when all the facts are in."
That's the canned response Holgorsen issues when someone steps out of bounds off the field. And that is WVU's concern right now, before the Mountaineers meet Marshall or battle with Baylor's Bears.
The players are dealing with their final exams this week and then have time to themselves for a vacation, of sorts, before returning to summer school May 21. The NCAA rules will keep the coaches separate from the players, which translates into the players having a lot of time on their hands.
You don't need to have spent a lot of time in Armstrong Hall to solve that equation.
"There are a whole bunch of eyes on these guys," Holgorsen said after the spring game a little more than one delightfully uneventful week ago. "That's just the reality of West Virginia football."

- Peak picking NMR spectral data using non-negative matrix factorization (2014)
- Background: Simple peak-picking algorithms, such as those based on lineshape fitting, perform well when peaks are completely resolved in multidimensional NMR spectra, but often produce wrong intensities and frequencies for overlapping peak clusters. For example, NOESY-type spectra have considerable overlaps leading to significant peak-picking intensity errors, which can result in erroneous structural restraints. Precise frequencies are critical for unambiguous resonance assignments. Results: To alleviate this problem, a more sophisticated peaks decomposition algorithm, based on non-negative matrix factorization (NMF), was developed. We produce peak shapes from Fourier-transformed NMR spectra. Apart from its main goal of deriving components from spectra and producing peak lists automatically, the NMF approach can also be applied if the positions of some peaks are known a priori, e.g. from consistently referenced spectral dimensions of other experiments. Conclusions: Application of the NMF algorithm to a three-dimensional peak list of the 23 kDa bi-domain section of the RcsD protein (RcsD-ABL-HPt, residues 688-890) as well as to synthetic HSQC data shows that peaks can be picked accurately also in spectral regions with strong overlap.
- Selection of functional human antibodies from retroviral display libraries (2005)
- Antibody library technology represents a powerful tool for the discovery and design of antibodies with high affinity and specificity for their targets. To extend the technique to the expression and selection of antibody libraries in an eukaryotic environment, we provide here a proof of concept that retroviruses can be engineered for the display and selection of variable single-chain fragment (scFv) libraries. A retroviral library displaying the repertoire obtained after a single round of selection of a human synthetic scFv phage display library on laminin was generated. For selection, antigen-bound virus was efficiently recovered by an overlay with cells permissive for infection. This approach allowed more than 10(3)-fold enrichment of antigen binders in a single selection cycle. After three selection cycles, several scFvs were recovered showing similar laminin-binding activities but improved expression levels in mammalian cells as compared with a laminin-specific scFv selected by the conventional phage display approach. Thus, translational problems that occur when phage-selected antibodies have to be transferred onto mammalian expression systems to exert their therapeutic potential can be avoided by the use of retroviral display libraries.
- On the correlation between hydrogen bonding and melting points in the inositols (2013)
- Inositol, 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroxycyclohexane, exists in nine stereoisomers with different crystal structures and melting points. In a previous paper on the relationship between the melting points of the inositols and the hydrogen-bonding patterns in their crystal structures [Simperler et al. (2006[Simperler, A., Watt, S.

CrystEngComm 8, 589], it was noted that although all inositol crystal structures known at that time contained 12 hydrogen bonds per molecule, their melting points span a large range of about 170 °C. Our preliminary investigations suggested that the highest melting point must be corrected for the effect of molecular symmetry, and that the three lowest melting points may need to be revised. This prompted a full investigation, with additional experiments on six of the nine inositols. Thirteen new phases were discovered; for all of these their crystal structures were examined. The crystal structures of eight ordered phases could be determined, of which seven were obtained from laboratory X-ray powder diffraction data. Five additional phases turned out to be rotator phases and only their unit cells could be determined. Two previously unknown melting points were measured, as well as most enthalpies of melting. Several previously reported melting points were shown to be solid-to-solid phase transitions or decomposition points. Our experiments have revealed a complex picture of phases, rotator phases and phase transitions, in which a simple correlation between melting points and hydrogen-bonding patterns is not feasible.

- CD20 and CD19 targeted vectors induce minimal activation of resting B lymphocytes (2013)
- B lymphocytes are an important cell population of the immune system. However, until recently it was not possible to transduce resting B lymphocytes with retro- or lentiviral vectors, making them unsusceptible for genetic manipulations by these vectors. Lately, we demonstrated that lentiviral vectors pseudotyped with modified measles virus (MV) glycoproteins hemagglutinin, responsible for receptor recognition, and fusion protein were able to overcome this transduction block. They use either the natural MV receptors, CD46 and signaling lymphocyte activation molecule (SLAM), for cell entry (MV-LV) or the vector particles were further modified to selectively enter via the CD20 molecule, which is exclusively expressed on B lymphocytes (CD20-LV). It has been shown previously that transduction by MV-LV does not induce B lymphocyte activation. However, if this is also true for CD20-LV is still unknown. Here, we generated a vector specific for another B lymphocyte marker, CD19, and compared its ability to transduce resting B lymphocytes with CD20-LV. The vector (CD19ds-LV) was able to stably transduce unstimulated B lymphocytes, albeit with a reduced efficiency of about 10% compared to CD20-LV, which transduced about 30% of the cells. Since CD20 as well as CD19 are closely linked to the B lymphocyte activation pathway, we investigated if engagement of CD20 or CD19 molecules by the vector particles induces activating stimuli in resting B lymphocytes. Although, activation of B lymphocytes often involves calcium influx, we did not detect elevated calcium levels. However, the activation marker CD71 was substantially up-regulated upon CD20-LV transduction and most importantly, B lymphocytes transduced with CD20-LV or CD19ds-LV entered the G1b phase of cell cycle, whereas untransduced or MV-LV transduced B lymphocytes remained in G0. Hence, CD20 and CD19 targeting vectors induce activating stimuli in resting B lymphocytes, which most likely renders them susceptible for lentiviral vector transduction.
- Di-μ-bromido-bis-[(diethyl ether-κO)(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)magnesium]: the mesityl Grignard reagent (2013)
- The crystal structure of the title compound, [Mg2Br2(C9H11)2(C4H10O)2], features a centrosymmetric two-centre magnesium complex with half a mol-ecule in the asymmetric unit. The Mg atom is in a considerably distorted Br2CO coordination. Bond lengths and angles are comparable with already published values. The crystal packing is stabilized by C-H⋯π inter-actions linking the complexes into sheets parallel to (0-11).
- 4,4'-Dimethyl-2,2'-{[2,3,3a,4,5,6,7,7a-octa-hydro-1H-benzimidazole-1,3-di-yl]bis-(methyl-ene)}diphenol (2013)
- The asymmetric unit of the title compound, C23H30N2O2, contains one half-mol-ecule, with a twofold axis splitting the mol-ecule in two identical halves. The structure of the racemic mixture has been reported previously [Rivera et al. (2009>) J. Chem. Crystallogr. 39, 827-830] but the enanti-omer reported here crystallized in the ortho-rhom-bic space group P21212 (Z = 2), whereas the racemate occurs in the triclinic space group P-1 (Z = 2). The observed mol-ecular conformation is stabilized by two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, which generate rings with graph-set motif S(6). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via non-classical C-H⋯O inter-actions, which stack the mol-ecules along the b axis.
- 4,4'-Di-tert-butyl-2,2'-[imidazolidine-1,3-diylbis(methyl-ene)]diphenol (2013)
- In the title compound, C25H36N2O2, the two tert-butyl-substituted benzene rings are inclined at an angle of 53.5 (3)° to one another. The imidazolidine ring has an envelope conformation with with one of the C atoms of the ethylene fragment as the flap. The structure displays two intra-molecular O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds that generate S(6) ring motifs. The crystal studied was a non-merohedral twin with a fractional contribution of 0.281(6) for the minor domain.
- [μ-3,3′-Bis(trihydroboryl)[3]ferrocenophane]bis(chloridozirconocene) (2013)
- The title compound, [FeZr2(C5H5)4Cl2(C13H18B2)], is a heteronuclear complex that consists of a [3]ferrocenophane moiety substituted at each cyclopentadienyl (Cp) ring by a BH3 group; the BH3 group is bonded via two H atoms to the Zr atom of the zirconocene chloride moiety in a bidentate fashion. The two Cp rings of the [3]ferrocenophane moiety are aligned at a dihedral angle of 8.9 (4)° arising from the strain of the propane-1,3-diyl bridge linking the two Cp rings. [One methylene group is disordered over two positions with a site-occupation factor of 0.552 (18) for the major occupied site.] The dihedral angles between the Cp rings at the two Zr atoms are 50.0 (3) and 51.7 (3)°. The bonding Zr(...)H distances are in the range 1.89 (7)–2.14 (7) Å. As the two Cp rings of the ferrocene unit are connected by an ansa bridge, the two Zr atoms approach each other at 6.485 (1) Å. The crystal packing features C—H(...)Cl interactions.
- IAPs on the move: role of inhibitors of apoptosis proteins in cell migration (2013)
- Inhibitors of Apoptosis Proteins (IAPs) are a class of highly conserved proteins predominantly known for the regulation of caspases and immune signaling. However, recent evidence suggests a crucial role for these molecules in the regulation of tumor cell shape and migration by controlling MAPK, NF-κB and Rho GTPases. IAPs directly control Rho GTPases, thus regulating cell shape and migration. For instance, XIAP and cIAP1 function as the direct E3 ubiquitin ligases of Rac1 and target it for proteasomal degradation. IAPs are differentially expressed in tumor cells and have been targeted by several cancer therapeutic drugs that are currently in clinical trials. Here, we summarize the current knowledge on the role of IAPs in the regulation of cell migration and discuss the possible implications of these observations in regulating tumor cell metastases.
- A hydrophilic gel matrix for single-molecule super-resolution microscopy (2013)
- Background: Novel microscopic techniques which bypass the resolution limit in light microscopy are becoming routinely established today. The higher spatial resolution of super-resolution microscopy techniques demands for precise correction of drift, spectral and spatial offset of images recorded at different axial planes. Methods: We employ a hydrophilic gel matrix for super-resolution microscopy of cellular structures. The matrix allows distributing fiducial markers in 3D, and using these for drift correction and multi-channel registration. We demonstrate single-molecule super-resolution microscopy with photoswitchable fluorophores at different axial planes. We calculate a correction matrix for each spectral channel, correct for drift, spectral and spatial offset in 3D. Results and discussion: We demonstrate single-molecule super-resolution microscopy with photoswitchable fluorophores in a hydrophilic gel matrix. We distribute multi-color fiducial markers in the gel matrix and correct for drift and register multiple imaging channels. We perform two-color super-resolution imaging of click-labeled DNA and histone H2B in different axial planes, and demonstrate the quality of drift correction and channel registration quantitatively. This approach delivers robust microscopic data which is a prerequisite for data interpretation.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.5
A- pours dark copper color with a two-finger light creamy head, good retention after pour, a bit of lace
S- dried cranberry, vanilla bean, hazelnut, sweet raspberry fruit, sweet caramel malt. Aromas are pronounced and inviting, very nice
T- so many flavors going on; vanilla, berries, hazelnut, dried cranberry with a raspberry tartness, the finish is balanced by sweet caramel malt. By far one of the most complex winter Warner's I've had.
M- medium body, low carbonation, creamy mouthfeel, velvety smooth finish
O- most Winter Warmers seem to taste the same for the most part, but this one sets itself apart from all of the other typical flavors of the style. The flavors are more complex and are reminiscent of the season. I'd gladly purchase this again and again.

Thanks to kubrick215 for sharing.
Pours a hazy dark amber/copper color with a one finger beige head that slowly fades into a lasting ring. Sporadic spotty lacing left behind.
Earthy, leathery malt aroma with an odd syrupy medicinal presence along with some dark fruit and heavy spices. Hints of nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla bean followed by cherry juice, plum and raspberry.
Medium bodied wih a dry, medicinal flavor along with a heavy vanilla and spice presence. Lots of dark fruit and sweet caramel malt sweetness with notes of hazelnut, toffee, raspberry, cherry juice and lots of vanilla. Floral/potpourri like with zesty cinnamon and clove spiciness. Really weird combination of flavors. Not bad but a few ounces was more than enough for me.

Poured from a bomber into a Duvel tulip
A- pours a nice cherry red with a half finger tan head that sticks around for awhile. Nice looking beer, minus the head
S- huge aromas of raspberries and cinnamon coming through...wow, excellent and very unexpected
T- a nice punch of raspberries to start, then moving into some nuttiness and a little cinnamon to finish. Very unique, and very good
M- medium bodied, on the thicker side. Maybe a little too much body
O- most winter warmers are overspiced and generally taste the same. This one though, it's a nice changeup from the normal, and something that's done very well. Well done, Highland

22 oz bottle poured into a mug at cellar temperature.
L – Amber-brown color with a big 4-finger bubbly, foamy, cream-colored head. Really nice retention and some awesome patchy lacing. Clear with a very nice amount of bubbles.
S – A great malt profile with caramel, bready, nutty, and toasted aromas with some brown sugar and hazelnut notes in particular. As for spices, I'm getting some cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg aromas. Not as spice-heavy as some winter warmers, but that's just fine with me. The malt aromas are too good to mask. As for the added fruit extracts, there may be just a hint of them. I probably wouldn't have picked them out without reading the label.
T – The taste starts off sweet with caramel and bready malt, brown sugar, and hazelnut flavors. Again, the added fruit extracts are maybe ever so slightly present. Dry toasted malt and spice flavors come in next. The spices are much stronger in the taste (but still not as strong and overpowering as some winter warmers) with cinnamon and ginger being the frontrunners. Earthy and herbal smoothly bitter hops appear toward the finish along with a dry cranberry taste. There are those fruits!
F – Medium-to-full-bodied with nice carbonation, a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, and a bittersweet, slightly spicy, and dry finish. A wonderful mix of flavors including sweet malts, zesty spices, and bitter hops and fruits linger. Alcohol is nowhere to be found, and, as a result, this beer is amazingly drinkable.
O – This is a terrific winter warmer. It has a rich and hearty malt profile with just the right amount of seasonal spices mixed in. In addition, it is insanely drinkable. I finished the bomber before I knew it. Even better, it's only 5.8% ABV! Who ever heard of a sessionable winter warmer? I personally love the idea. Awesome beer from Highland.

12 oz. bottle poured into a Sam Adams Perfect Pint Glass. Liquid comes out a nice hearty amber/red/deep brown color. There's really good clarity and it glows when held up in the light. There's a nice white cap, mostly small bubbles, a little bit of lacing, but not a ton.
Smell is really good, malty with a lot going on. Sweet toffee and hints of vanilla, cinnamon, and hazelnut. There are also tones of raspberries and cranberries that provide a very subtle sweetness immediately followed by some tart, very natural. Interesting blend, with everything there's almost a coco aroma too.
Taste is exactly on par with the smell, except we have some nice regular beer flavors as well. There's definitely a prominent coco flavor, but it doesn't seem like it should fit in... except it totally does! There's a fruitiness again with some almost, not quite completely, ripe raspberries and then some cranberries. There's also the same hints of vanilla and hazelnut in there and that freaking coco. NONE of these flavors seem to stand out more than the other, everything is balanced and gentle/subtle. Very well done.
Mouthfeel is great. In addition to all of the great (very well blended) flavors, the beer is the heavier end of light bodied with a great carbonation level. Great sweetness with some natural bitterness at the end, but still clean. It's complex but soft and overall really well balanced. Great drink ability. It's easily the best "winter warmer" I've had all year and I could drink it all winter, but this brew could go deeper into the spring if it wanted to, as well as start in the fall. Nice job Highland, totally digging this beer, but I'm not surprised. Thanks Paschal for the awesome hookup!

Picked up a 22oz bomber at Peabody's. Poured into a Highland shaker pint glass...
A: Pours a tea-like amber; maybe some reddish hues in there; one-finger, light tan head manages a thin layer of creamy retention, but doesn't leave much lace.
S: First thing that hits is vanilla; has a bit of a cream soda character to it; a little nutty; cinnamon. Interesting... very different than most winter beers!
T: Wow - that cream soda esque flavor is pretty big; a touch of hazelnut - a bit of rind toward the finish; minimal bitterness afforded by some leafy hop flavor.
M: Medium mouthfeel; moderate carbonation.
O: Very different than most winter ales or winter warmers; sweet spices and not much alcohol (relatively speaking) make it really stand out. Would pair nicely with some pumpkin or pecan pie. Next year...

Received as extra in a trade.
A - Poured into my Duvel tulip a crystal clear mahogany hue with a good two finger creamy off white head that faded to leave a thin quarter inch blanket and nice lacing.
S - Nice caramel and toffee along with biscuits and malts. Very gentle spice notes.
T - Taste is nice, light caramel and sweeter toffee. Twinge of metallic notes and faint typical winter spices. Actually some alcohol too, which, is rather odd.
M - Mouthfeel is a bit on the thinner side. Light carbonation here.
O - Overall, not a bad beer, just everything is a bit too subtle. Plus, I shouldnt be getting alcohol in a 5.8% beer.

22 oz bomber into a DFH signature glass. Thanks to sommersb.
A - Pours a clear dark red body. Very attractive off white head with large bubbles. Nice lacing and retention.
S - Light toffee and bready malts, nutty with a touch of fruit and spice. A bit muddled but quite nice for a winter warmer.
T - Clean caramel and bready malts with some faint spices and berries. Nice combination of flavors.
M - Medium bodied with nice carbonation. Highly drinkable.
O - Not generally a style I go after, but this was a very well made beer. I noticed it has hazelnut, raspberry, and cranberry extracts as well as cinnamon and vanilla listed on the ingredient list. Its a bit hard to discern each ingredient but they do work together to produce a nice taste of winter.

A: The beer is clear reddish amber in color and has a moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a finger high dense beige head that died down, leaving a large patch of bubbles in the center of the glass and a collar around the edge.
S: There are light to moderate aromas of cranberry juice, hazelnut and vanilla beans in the nose.
T: The taste shares some similarities with the smell but also has some hints of raspberries. Notes of cinnamon sticks are also apparent towards the finish, although these become muted as the beer warms up and are replaced with flavors of hazelnuts and later with berries. Neither sweetness nor bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is quite unusual for the style and has an interesting mix of fruity flavors and spices. I liked how the dynamics of the beer changed as it warmed up, which make for it being an interesting winter warmer to sip.

body is a clear dark amber color with a finger and a half of tan creamy head. the head recedes to a thin ring around the glass and leaves only a little lacing at the top of the glass. The nose is dominated by hints of cinnamon and vanilla with a light fruit scent. spice leads the way on the tongue also. i thought the fruit would of been apples but the label says raspberries and cranberries, i can kind of pick up on the tartness of the cranberries, but the raspberries are lost under the dominating presence of cinnamon. mouthfeel seems a little thin for a winter warmer. carbonation is nice and prickly on the tongue. i don't usually like winter warmers but this one is very drinkable. i wish the raspberrries played a bigger role in the beer and the vanilla would be better in a leading role instead of the cinnamon. none the less it is still worth drinking. but with the thin body and fairly low abv i don't know how warm it will keep you this winter.

2012 12 oz bottle served in a snifter. Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany color, with a short-lived beige head. Very sweet aroma is followed by a rather sweet upfront taste but eventually turns mildly bitter. The beer is a mildly spicy and a bit fruity, including raspberry and a surprising apricot note in the nose that's present but subdued in tasting. Cinnamon and plenty of vanilla in both; perhaps too much vanilla in the flavor.
Overall an enjoyable, complex and distinctive seasonal brew.
{9 months later (Sept. 2013) a bottle kept in a cooler is every bit as tasty}.

2012 Edition
A: Pours a crystal clear light to medium amber in color with very light amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall creamy beige head that slowly reduces to a thick film covering the entire surface of the beer. Moderate to significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of cocoa along with some vanilla and just a touch of spices (nutmeg stands out). Additionally there are some notes of brown sugar.
T: Moderate to strong flavors of vanilla and oak over some lighter notes of cocoa and spices (nutmeg). Some caramel malts flavors along with a little bit of brown sugar sweetness.
M: Just shy of medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Creamy.
O: This is a very enjoyable beer and I could almost think it had been barrel aged - nice combination of the spices, cocoa, and vanilla... Pretty easy to drink and I had no problem putting down a couple of glasses. Very nice of a fairly cold November evening but would have been improved by sitting in front of the fireplace.

22oz bottle, poured into two snifter glasses.
A- Pours a nice deep amber / red. Not a lot of head, but honestly the best lacing I have ever seen. Seriously, this is a beautiful beer!
S- Could be that it needed to warm up a bit, but I didn't get a whole lot on the nose. This is a fairly mild beer though, so that probably explains it. Nonetheless, some vanilla and spices were noticeable.
T- The main thing here for me is the vanilla. Like other reviewers, the first time I had this one, I expected big spices like you usually find in a winter beer. Not the case here. It is mainly vanilla, with some spices in the background. It is somewhat malty, and there is definitely an nice carbonated mouthfeel.
O- This is an exceptional winter beer and I am surprised how much I like it. It is fairly light-weight, all things considered, but it is just the perfect taste! Really enjoy it and intend to drink many more this season!

rereview 12oz bottle into a FW tulip. 10/30/13 bottling date consumed 3 weeks later.
Pours a dark amber color with a nice inch thick head. Aroma is almost nonexistent...maybe a tad of caramel? not much at all. The taste is quite different though...a bit sweet with a good amount of caramel and toffee flavors that linger on the palate for quite awhile. Biggest thing about this beer is its drinkability...you could drink it all day and in a hurry... almost light bodied with mild carbonation.
Overall this is an old favorite among North Carolinian's and honestly shouldnt get such high marks nowadays. Its still good, just not amazing.

Served in a perfect pint
A - It is copper colored with amber highlights. I think it had an inch of tan head. It was gone so quick that I missed it.
S - I was surprised to get a noseful of chocolate and caramel. It smells like a candy bar.
T - The taste matches the smell with intensity and ingredients.
M - Medium
O - This beer tasted nothing like I expected. I expected the typical nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, etc. It is loaded with intense chocolate and caramel. I'm surprised how flavorful this beer is considering it's a winter warmer and this is June. I would drink the shit out of this each winter if I were in the distribution area.

The beer pours a clear rusty amber with almost no head. The nose is a tremendous caramel and a slight woodiness (maple). The taste is just as sweet with almost no spice and almost no carbonation after sitting a few minutes. There is almost no alcohol present either. Overall it's an interesting beer to have mid summer, but it's not too bad.

Pours clear, dark copper with carbonation. A one-inch creamy manila head lasts a while leaving a fine coating of lace.
There is lots of caramel malt with sweet tea and brown sugar. Warming brings out cocoa. More warming intensifies cocoa.
This one is very similar to sweet tea on entry, powdered hot chocolate mix immediately follows. The finish is short and modest.
A medium body with soft, prickly carbonation and no alcohol. This one has light astringency and a smooth texture.
This is a good beer for a cool afternoon. Have a couple while relaxing.
This one is far better if allowed to warm!

A - A dark amber/copper color, with some clarity. 1 finger of head, nice sticky lacing on the glass
S - Spices, and malt character. A little light on the aroma front.
T - Caramel and vanilla spices. Low hop character. Very smooth though. Enjoyable.
M - Light bodied and fairly light carbonated.
O - An enjoyable winter warmer on a cold rainy day

Poured from a bomber into a tulip glass
A - Dark copper. Yields a two finger creamy off-white head. Excellent lacing.
S - Roasted malts produce caramels and hints of vanilla. Even a slight dark fruit smell simmilar to raisins. Floral hops present.
T - Lightly roasted malt producing a predominately caramel flavor. Odd slightly sour note in the middle that throws off the taste. Hops there but mainly detected in the nose.
M - Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation. Easy drinking.
O - This is a highly drinkable winter warmer. I tend to like beers in this style to have a little more body, but this is a great beer nonetheless. Light caramel flavors and none too rich.

Pours a deep amber with a soft layer of white head that has little retention. The nose offers some mild spice and some intense vanilla extract notes. The flavor is much the same; the vanilla dominates with some subtle spices and a little fruitiness throughout. The fruitiness is cherry-like, both tart and sweet. The finish is a little medicinal to me. I think it's the combination of vanilla and fruit. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and lightly carbonated, but it's viscous and syrupy at times.
I'm glad that this isn't just another winter warmer with ginger and cinnamon. I like the fruitiness here, but I find the medicinal off notes in the finish a little unpleasant. I probably wouldn't have this again, but I do like what they were going for with this one.

Beer pours a clear amber color, no head to speak of, thin lacing and no retention.
Brown sugar, candy, and vanilla on the nose. Good start.
Taste is decent, same as above. Medium mouthfeel, low carbonation. Slides down really smooth.
Was anticipating more with this one with all the hype. All in all a solid brew, good quality.

The Santa Fe Art Institute hosts a revealing examination of the facts on the ground at the US/Mexico border.
Rather than making the city real, an exhibition of photographs focuses on New York, makes it appear as an unreachable ideal.
Paintings persist through intuition, through disruptions of the expected, through playfulness, through the artist's legerdemain, just as koans have been doing for well over 1,000 years.
When is a painting not a painting and what the hell does time have to do with it?
There are a lot of very bad Fritz Scholder paintings at the IAIA Museum right now. Not bad as in naughty—an apt description for many of Scholder's works and for the way he blew the conventional view of Native American art out of the water back in the 1970s—but bad as in poorly executed.

Mitigating the harmful effects of Galectin-3 with Modified Citrus Pectin
: 03/27/2013 12:42:37
AANP Conference and Exposition
The AANP Conference Planning Team would like to introduce Issac Eliaz, MD, LAc, MS, as a guest blogger for the 2013 Annual Conference Blog. He will be leading a Vendor Workshop, Friday, July 12, from 11:15am to 12:00pm, in Keystone, Colorado.
As an integrative physician who treats cancer and chronic illness, my practice is rooted in the concept of individualized, patient-driven medicine. This means we work closely with each patient to design a protocol tailored to their unique needs, in order to build health while simultaneously fighting disease. Rightly, one size does not fit all. In conventional medicine this approach has been slow to take hold because it requires a truly holistic perspective. That is why I enjoy working with Naturopathic Doctors. We speak the same language of holistic, patient-driven medicine and we understand deeply the importance of integrating leading research advancements with traditional healing wisdom.
An excellent example of this integration of traditional botanical wisdom and science is the exciting and fast-growing body of research on galectin-3 molecules and the role of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP) as a proven natural galectin-3 inhibitor. So while integrative, patient-driven medicine is highly individualized, there are also certain natural therapies that can have universal benefit, and the body of scientific literature is showing MCP to be one of these therapies. This is due in large part to its unique relationship with a protein called galectin-3.
Worldwide epidemiological studies over the last several years have revealed a strong correlation between many chronic and life-threatening diseases and elevated levels of circulating galectin-3. At normal levels, galectin-3, produced by the body, is beneficial—it is a signaling molecule that aids in regulating the cell cycle, cellular growth, development, and cell to cell communication. It is also part of the inflammation and repair process, and that's where it can become problematic when uncontrolled. Serious conditions such as cancer metastasis, heart disease, chronic inflammation and fibrosis, kidney injury, ulcerative colitis, cirrhosis of the liver, arthritis, and a host of other chronic conditions have been shown to be triggered and exacerbated by high levels of galectin-3 in the blood. Experts in this field project that in the near future a new class of diseases known as "Elevated Galectin-3 Diseases" will be established for diagnostic and treatment purposes.
Screening for Galectin-3
In 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a serum assay to measure galectin-3 levels as a way to evaluate cardiovascular disease risk and progression. This is an easy and inexpensive test, covered by most health insurances for cardiovascular screening and prognosis. Since elevated galectin-3 is recognized as a "culprit" biomarker -- rather than a "bystander" biomarker such as CRP -- this test serves as an invaluable tool providing insight into the risks and progression of numerous chronic, degenerative illnesses. As a culprit, active biomarker, elevated galectin-3 is both a cause and an effect of metastatic cancer and inflammatory/fibrosis-related conditions.
A naturally occurring beta-galactoside binding protein, elevated galectin-3 fuels the development of diseases related to chronic inflammation and the progression of inflammation to fibrosis, in addition to cancer tumor formation and metastasis. This process can affect every organ and system in the body. A large scale population study presented in 2012 showed that elevated levels of galectin-3 increase overall mortality 3-fold in the general population. The Role of Galectin-3 in Cancer and Chronic Disease Galectin-3 can circulate freely through the blood system, or be expressed in the nucleus, cytoplasm, mitochondrion, cell surface, and extracellular space. The role of galectin-3 in the formation and spread of cancer is well documented and accepted throughout the medical community. Cancer cells are commonly found to have an abundance of galectin-3 on their surface. The galectin-3 acts as a cell binder, allowing cancer cells to aggregate, attach to endothelium and metastasize. Galectin-3 has also been shown to be a major factor in angiogenesis—the formation of new blood vessels to feed the tumor.
The surprising news that has emerged over the last several years is the expanding body of evidence demonstrating that elevated galectin-3 plays a direct role in the formation of numerous other life-threatening diseases beyond cancer. We now know that galectin-3 in excess works to advance chronic inflammation and the progression of inflammation to fibrosis within organs and tissues. Studies on hepatic, renal, cardiac, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and other organs/systems have shown that galectin-3 plays an active role in activating fibroblasts—the cells responsible for fibrogenesis and fibrosis. Galectin-3 activates resting fibroblasts into matrix-producing fibroblasts after being secreted into the extracellular space. Matrix-producing fibroblasts are characterized by increased expression of certain proteins within and around the fibroblasts, a mechanism of action demonstrated in the scientific literature.
Elevated levels of circulating galectin-3 correlate significantly with increased risk of death in populations experiencing acute decompensated heart failure, as well as chronic heart failure. We now know that excess galectin-3 is directly involved in processes associated with heart failure fibrogenesis, myofibroblast proliferation, adverse ventricular and tissue remodeling, and others.
This link between galectin-3 and a significant number of chronic and acute conditions demonstrates the critical importance of closely tracking galectin-3 levels, particularly in patients with cardiovascular disease and/or cancer. As research continues to expand our understanding of these connections, the diagnostic and prognostic value of the galectin-3 serum assay is becoming more widely accepted throughout the medical community and many labs now offer the galectin-3 serum assay.
Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP): Proven natural galectin-3 blocker
Clearly, blocking the effects of galectin-3 in the body is paramount in preventing the formation and progression of a large number of chronic, life-threatening diseases. According to the literature, this is achievable with Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP): a naturally occurring soluble fiber from the peels of citrus such as lemons, limes, oranges, and grapefruits. Many people are already aware of the benefits of regular pectin in helping cleanse the digestive tract, where it can bind with and remove environmental toxins such as heavy metals -- even radioactive isotopes as demonstrated in the tragic Chernobyl aftermath.
The problem has been that regular, unmodified pectin molecules are too big to enter the bloodstream. This has been solved with the development of Modified Citrus Pectin (MCP)—a significantly smaller form of pectin molecule with enhanced molecular characteristics. Due to its specific size and structure, MCP is shown to provide a number of therapeutic benefits throughout the body, including selective immune enhancement, as well as protection against organ fibrosis and metastatic cancer.
MCP is naturally attracted to galectin-3 molecules and has the unique ability to bind with excess galectin-3 and effectively block the inflammatory, fibrotic and pro-cancer effects of this "rogue molecule." In doing so, MCP is shown in multiple studies to inhibit the growth and metastasis of cancer cells, as well as reverse features of illnesses related to chronic inflammation and fibrosis, including kidney injury, vascular fibrosis and others.
Galectin-3 and Kidney Disease
A 2011 study has shown that MCP binding with galectin-3 was effective in reducing kidney injury. Animal subjects were pretreated with either water or MCP for one week, then folic acid was introduced to simulate kidney injury. Typical kidney injury symptoms were reduced in the subjects receiving MCP. Reduced galectin-3 levels, decreased kidney fibrosis, and a decrease in macrophages, pro-inflammatory cytokines and apoptosis were all observed in the MCP group.

Professional firefighting in West Chester Township started when trustees ordered 50 badges in June 1963.
That and the purchase of a Sutphen fire truck at a cost of $8,000 was how the Union Township – now West Chester Township – Fire Department had its humble beginnings.
Six years later, emergency medical services were added and those first volunteer paramedics were dubbed "Squad's Men."
That simple start and subsequent growth, is being remembered as the department embarks on a year-long celebration of firefighting.
"The department is doing several things this year to mark (its) anniversary,'' said Barb Wilson, spokeswoman. "It's a year to honor those who started the fire department and reflect on how it's grown."
The theme for this year's observance is "remembering our past, committed to our future."
Dispatch and other pieces of small equipment from the early years will be on display during three open houses. Along with that, certificates earned by past firefighters will also be displayed, said Chief Anthony Goller. (more…)

Clement A. Finch, MD, eighth president of the American Society of Hematology, died on June 28, 2010, just six days shy of his 95th birthday. Clem, as he was known, was the first head of the Division of Hematology and one of the founding professors of medicine at the University of Washington, joining Bob Williams, Belding Scribner, and others in building a preeminent research university.
Clem remained at the University of Washington for his entire career and over that time established what was then the strongest laboratory for the study of iron biology in the world. His interest in iron was originally sparked by Joseph Ross, a nuclear medicine physician with whom Clem worked for a year after completing his clinical training. Clem recognized the value of being able to work with radioactively labeled iron to quantify iron absorption and excretion and to define the mechanisms of iron trafficking and storage. His work led to the ability to measure iron turnover (ferrokinetics) and to use quantitative measurements to classify anemias. In fact, the Seattle classification of anemia, including concepts such as effective versus ineffective red cell production, continues to this day.
Clem was an astute clinical and physiological observer who established principles that only later were explained at the molecular level. He recognized that, with inflammation, iron was retained by macrophages, leading to what he called "iron-restricted" erythropoiesis. We now know that the molecule responsible for the phenomenon is hepcidin. He also defined the functional defect in hereditary hemochromatosis — the inability to down-regulate iron absorption and iron release from macrophages — leading to the gradual accumulation of iron in the body. He realized that simple phlebotomy was an effective form of treatment for the disease. His experimental studies quantitating iron absorption demonstrated that iron-deficient individuals increased iron uptake from the diet, while patients who had iron overload from repeated blood transfusions decreased their iron absorption. This principle became known as the "stores regulator" of iron absorption. Paradoxically, patients who had chronically ineffective red cell production also had increased iron absorption, despite normal or increased body iron. This mechanism became known as the "erythropoietic regulator" of iron absorption, the one concept that is not yet fully explained at the molecular level.
While his contributions to iron biology are his most recognizable work, Clem also made major contributions to blood banking. In fact, as chief resident, he was head of the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital's blood bank and transfusion service. This interest carried over to his early days in Seattle, where he worked with Ernie Simon and Beverly Gabrio to improve storage solutions to preserve the function of red cells in storage.
While a consummate scientist, Clem was, first and foremost, a teacher and mentor. His work led to three teaching manuals, all based on similar principles of classifying disorders on the basis of insights learned from studying red blood cell production. Red Cell Manual, which Clem co-authored with Robert Hillman, was the prototype and was used as a tool for teaching hematology to medical students and house staff. This inspired The White Cell Manual and Manual of Hemostasis and Thrombosis, which were written by those working closely with Clem in Seattle.
Altogether, more than 150 physicians or basic scientists trained with Clem in Seattle, many coming from other countries to spend time working on iron metabolism. Trainees remember Clem's humanity, humility, and perceptiveness. Many of those individuals have gone on to make major contributions of their own. But, there was no one quite like Clem. He was, literally and figuratively, a giant in his field — towering above almost everyone else in height as well as in intellect. Those of us who had the privilege of knowing and working with Clem were forever changed. And, we are forever grateful to have had the opportunity.
The family suggests memorial gifts be sent to the Clement A. Finch Professorship of Medicine at the University of Washington. Alternatively, donations can be sent to ASH to recognize Clem's service to the Society and contribution to the discipline of hematology.

Lopud Franciscan Monastery
The main architectural attraction of the village of Lopud on Lopud Island is the 15th-century Franciscan Monastery, which contains some fine Renaissance artworks.
What to See
Lopud is the main village on the island, which is just 1.7 sq miles in size, supports a population of 2,000, and is accessed by frequent motorboat service from Dubrovnik. It is the most popular of the three Elaphite Islands and most of the residents work in farming or the tourist industry.
The village of Lopud lies in a fertile valley sheltered from the wind by two ranges of hills. Its Franciscan monastery, dating from 1483, is the main attraction. The monastic church, St. Mary of Spilica (Gospa od Spilica), boasts a carved choir from the 15th century and a number of notable paintings, including:
Other attractions in Lopud include a small ethnographic museum, the ruins of a small fortress, other ancient churches in various stages of decay, and a wonderful sandy beach with a restaurant and bar.

With prices remaining the same for the fourth straight year, the Tourists are once again offering full- and half-season ticket packages in three seating areas. The traditional box seats are $462 each for the entire campaign and $280 for a half-season plan. Full-season packages are $1,799 in the Bojangles Dugout Suites, which feature on-field seating and all-you-can-eat seat service, with half-season plans in the same area selling for $980 per seat. The team has also added a full-season package in the Press Row seats, located in the chair-back area just below the press box, which are $700. General admission season tickets, also available only on a full-season basis, are $301 each.
The Tourists provide numerous benefits for all season ticket holders. In 2012, the advantages include 15 percent off all team merchandise, guaranteed giveaway items, a season ticket holder road trip, and a meet & greet and cocktail hour with the entire team at Fanfest. Other perks include a weekly Tourists e-newsletter, the "Never A Wasted Ticket" program, and payment plans along with a personal account representative.
"After having a great year in 2011, plans are already in full swing for an even better season in 2012," said Tourists president Brian DeWine. "We are always seeking input from our fans and especially our season ticket holders and we've tried to incorporate as many of their ideas as possible in making Tourists baseball as affordable and enjoyable as possible every time they come to McCormick Field. We felt that avoiding an increase in ticket prices if at all possible was important, and we're pleased that we are able to maintain that again this year."
The Tourists are also offering a variety of Flex Plans, which include undated tickets that can be used for all games over the course of the season, excluding July 4. The 100-game Flex Pack is $721 for box seats and $567 for general admission. The 50-game Flex Pack is $412 for box seats and $309 for general admission, while the 10-game Flex Pack is $96 for box seats and $67 for general admission.
Single-game tickets will go on sale in March, with an exact date to be announced later this offseason. The wait for the start of the season is a little shorter this winter. The Tourists will open their home slate on Thursday, April 5, against the Delmarva Shorebirds, which is 10 days earlier than the team's home opener in 2011. After a four-game series versus the Shorebirds, the Tourists will then welcome the West Virginia Power to McCormick Field for a three-game set, from April 9-11. The home schedule features a July 4th date against the Augusta Green Jackets as well as 12 Thirsty Thursdays and 11 games each on Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday afternoons.

This depends on how you want to share cards.
To share all of your cards we recommend that you simply share an account. Download Key Ring on both phones and log into the app using the same account information. All cards will be available on both devices.
To share only select cards choose a card > 'Share Card' > Enter the email address of the recipient.
Note to iPhone Users: If you do not see the share button your settings have likely changed and it's taking you straight to the barcode image screen. You can change the settings on your phone so you see the card information screen first. You do this by clicking on the settings icon on your phone. Scroll down until you see Key Ring listed. Click on that and then you will see the option to change the Default View to see the offers first or see the barcode first.
To change the logo, sign into your account online at http://keyringapp.com. Click on 'edit' next to the card you wish to change. Then select 'edit' under the logo of that card and upload a file of the logo. You will have a chance to crop your image after upload. Please upload only .png or .jpg files that are 100x100 pixels. Files size should be less than 1mb.
