Detailed Description:
Bortezomib (Velcade) has just recently been approved by the FDA for the treatment of multiple myeloma in patients who have received at least two prior therapies and have demonstrated disease progression on the last therapy. This study will determine if Velcade is effective in treating patients with multiple myeloma that have had no prior treatment for the disease. We will also use whole-genome scanning to identify drug response biomarkers in bone marrow samples as well as nerve fiber studies to compare nerves prior to the use of Velcade and after treatment with Velcade.

Estimated Primary Completion Date: | July 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure) |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: bortezomib
Participants will receive intravenous bortezomib on a 3 week dosing cycle. Velcade will be given twice a week for 2 weeks (on days 1,4,8 and 11) followed by a 10 day rest period (days 12-21).
Drug: bortezomib
Given intravenously twice a week for 2 weeks (days 1, 4, 8, 11) followed by a 10-day rest period (days 12-21) for up to eight 3-week treatment cycles.
Other Name: Velcade
Detailed Description:
- Patients will receive intravenous Velcade on a 3 week dosing cycle. Velcade will be given twice a week for 2 weeks (on days 1,4,8 and 11) followed by a 10 day rest period (days 12-21).
- On the days patients receive Velcade a physical exam, vital signs, and blood tests will be performed. A neurotoxicity-directed questionnaire will be completed once during each cycle of therapy.
- A patient may undergo up to eight 3-week dosing cycles. During the dosing phase, if after two cycles of dosing, tests indicate progressive disease the patient will be removed from the study.
- A complete response means that all traces of the disease have disappeared: there are no abnormal proteins in the blood or urine; no traces of abnormal cells in bone marrow or any other place; and no worsening of bone tumors are found. Confirmation of this will be obtained at least 6 weeks after initial testing by a bone marrow biopsy.
- An end of dosing phase visit will occur 30 days after the last study dose; or 2 dosing cycles following the time it is confirmed that there is complete response; or at the time it is confirmed that the disease has worsened.
- After the end of the study visits, patients will be asked to participate in follow-up telephone calls every 6 weeks.
- Whole-genome scanning and nerve fiber studies are optional research studies for patients enrolled in the dosing phase. The whole-genome scanning portion involves collection of a bone marrow biopsy at the start and end of the study. The nerve fiber study involves skin biopsies at the next study visit after neuropathy is reported and at the end of the study.

By baby's first birthday, solid foods make up around fifty percent of her nutrition. Continue to feed most solid foods to your baby by spoon, since you are likely to get more food into baby's mouth than on the floor. Yet, if your baby is the "do it myself" type, finger foods may be the main fare by this time.
Here are some tips gleaned from the Sears, family-feeding experiences, as well as tips shared by patients in our pediatric practice.
Keep feeding times short. Remember, tiny babies still have tiny tummies. Small, frequent feedings are still the best. Also, give your baby small helpings. Most babies seldom take more than 1 or 2 tablespoons of a food at any one meal . Don't overwhelm baby with a whole pile of food on her plate. Begin with a small dollop and add more as baby wants more.
Give your baby a bone. Our babies have enjoyed a chicken leg bone with all the tiny bone slivers removed and a small amount of cooked meat remaining. Beginning around nine months, babies love to hold this bone like a rattle, gnaw on it, bang it, transfer it from hand to hand, teethe on it, and play with it. They even, occasionally, eat a little chicken.
Pressure tactics make feeding harder, not easier. Don't force-feed food, as this could create long-term unhealthy attitudes about eating. The parent's role is to select nutritious foods, prepare them well, and serve them creatively, matched to baby's individual capabilities and preferences. Baby's role is to eat the amount he wants at the time, according to his needs, moods, capabilities, and preferences. We have taught all of our children to swim, and we think of feeding similar to teaching swimming — being neither over- protective nor over-restrictive. Allow a child to explore and experiment. Allow a certain amount of mess, but don't let it get out of control. Above all, teach your child that food is to be enjoyed.
Expect erratic feeding habits. There may be days when your baby eats solids six times, or she may refuse solids three days in a row and only want to breastfeed or take a bottle.
Understand that food fears are normal. To help your baby overcome these fears, take a bite of an unfamiliar food first and let your baby catch the spirit of your enjoyment. Expect baby to explore a new food before she eats it — just like adults want to know what they're eating. One way to encourage the cautious feeder is to take a bite of the new food yourself. Then place some food on his index finger and guide his own fingerful of food into his mouth.
Gradually increase variety and texture. For the youngest eaters, fruits and vegetables should be strained. (If you wait until six months to start solids, you'll probably skip this stage.) As babies gain eating experience, they can advance to pureed foods, then foods that are finely minced. Most babies can begin to accept chopped foods by one year of age.
Settle the squirmer. Here is a toy trick that worked for one of our babies who would constantly windmill her arms during feeding. Use three plastic spoons – one spoon for each of her hands to occupy them and one for you to feed her. Also, try this toy trick. Put toys with suction cups on a highchair tray so she can play with them with her hands while you sneak food into her mouth. Sometimes when babies open their mouths to suck on toys, this primes them to open their mouths to receive food.
Use camouflage. Cover more nutritious, but less favorite foods with one of baby's favorites. We often place a thin layer of applesauce over the vegetables or meat. Get the applesauce (or other favorite) on baby's tongue first and then put a scoop of the more nutritious, but less liked food, on top of it.
Let baby eat off your plate. Sometimes babies just don't want to eat like a baby, neither baby food nor off baby plates. Around one year of age, babies enjoy sitting on parents' laps and picking food off their plate, especially mashed potatoes and cooked, soft vegetables. Or, put baby's food on your plate and trick the little gourmet into eating his own food.
Let baby enjoy the lap of luxury. If your child refuses to get in or stay in his high-chair, let him sit on your lap and eat off your plate. If baby begins messing with your food, place a few morsels of food on the table between baby and plate to direct his attention away from your dinner.
Overcome lip lock. To relax tight lips from refusing a feeding, back off and over-enjoy the food yourself. Model the excitement by replaying the old reliable "Mmmmmm goooood!" As your baby watches you open your mouth and savor the food, he may catch the spirit and relax his mouth and his attitude. Use one of your child's favorite foods as a teaser. As he opens his mouth for his favorite food, quickly follow with the food you wanted him to try.
Minimize the mess. Too much food on a baby's dish leads to two-fisted eating and major mess-making. Encourage neatness by scattering only a few morsels of finger foods on baby's tray at a time and refill as necessary.
Each new developing skill has its nutritional benefits and humorous nuisances. Baby's newly developing thumb and forefinger pincer grasp and finger pointing stimulates him to want to pick up tiny morsels of food and feed himself, yet it also creates an opportunity for more messes. Allow baby the luxury of messing around a bit with his newly-discovered utensils. Believe it or not, baby is actually learning from this mess, sort of like the conclusion that the author Ernest Hemmingway came to: "Oh, the joy of just messing around." While some food makes its way into the mouth, other pieces scatter. Food- flinging , dropping, and smearing is a usual mealtime antic parents can expect to deal with. To discourage flinging and give the food a fighting chance to make it into baby's mouth, put a few pieces of O-cereals, cooked carrots, pieces of rice cakes, and any other bite-size pieces of fruits and vegetables that baby likes on his plate. Then, refill as needed. Placing a whole pile of food in front of baby is inviting a mess. We have noticed that our babies are fascinated with a pile of cooked spaghetti placed within easy reach. The ability to pick up with the thumb and forefinger enables baby to pick up one strand at a time. Spaghetti-picking holds baby's mealtime attention longer than most foods. Expect food and utensils to become interesting objects to pick up, bang, drop, and fling, which is part of baby's natural desire to explore and find new uses for his hands.

For an exclusive bees' eye view of the store's sixth floor residents, click the Bee Cam tabs above and watch our wonderful bees at work, collecting nectar to make our exclusive Fortnum's Bees Honey.
Fortnum's rooftop palazzi produce very exclusive honey
A plan to put beehives on top of a building in the middle of Piccadilly might seem like a flight of fancy. But ever since four colonies of bees took up residence on Fortnum & Mason's rooftop in 2008, they have been happily producing a truly delicious honey – so good that these exclusive bees have created a waiting list for their produce.
There are four beehives, at six feet high almost twice the height of a normal beehive, each with a distinct triumphal arch entrance designed in a different architectural style – Roman, Mughal, Chinese and Gothick. Eau de nil paint makes them truly Fortnum's, along with the copper-clad pagoda roofs, and gilded 'bee skep' finials. The bees are spoilt for space: by bee standards these are positively palatial residences.
The honey, called simply Fortnum's Bees' Honey, varies from year to year, depending on the flora available to the bees, but is usually a lovely pale, toffee colour with a soft consistency, a light and delicate flavour and a pleasing finish. The very first crop tasted of the Oxfordshire countryside, where the bees had been staying before they were transported to London. The 2009 crop, the result of their forays into London's parks and gardens, had subtle traces of chestnut and lime, giving it depth and freshness. The bees fly within a radius of around three miles, which encompasses Buckingham Palace, Clarence House, St James's Palace, St James's Park, the Green Park and Hyde Park, as well as any number of private gardens. London gardens, often planted with a dazzling array of exotic flowers, add further depth to the honey's flavour.
The bees produce one crop a year, harvested in September, and the amount of honey made depends upon the weather. In 2010, following a warm summer, a record 850 227g jars were produced; in 2012, after a cool and wet spring, just 430 jars were created. Fortnum's employs a Beemaster, Steven Benbow, to look after the hives, and he visits them regularly to ensure the bees are in good heart.
Fortnum's online Bee Cams enable customers to watch, in real-time, the lives of the Fortnum's Bees, and have attracted a considerable world-wide following. One camera is positioned to track the bees as they fly in and out of their hives; the other captures the view from the hive across the City to St Paul's and the Gherkin, whose shape is remarkably similar to the finials decorating the hive roofs. This particular view rather nicely contrasts the simplicity of hives full of bees, doing what they have always done, with the steel and glass of a new building – a human hive, if you like.
Any potential concerns about our bees can be quickly allayed; the bees are native Welsh Black bees, known for their gentle ways, so they are less likely to sting unsuspecting shoppers and tourists. In fact, in all the time the hives have been in position, no rooftop visitors have ever been stung – not even the bold photographers, poking their lenses in through the hives' front doors. As for pollution, it is not an issue; nectar sits deep within a plant and is sucked up by the bee's proboscis, then taken straight to the hive and sealed into the honeycomb, safe from outside influences.
Beehive Update
On April 30th the newly refurbished and gilded palazzi welcomed their occupants. Owing to the prolonged cold, wet, weather in the winter and spring at Harrow two of the four colonies died, and had to be replaced. From left to right, the Mughal and Roman hives are now occupied by Carnolean bees, and, as before, the Chinese and Gothick hives by Welsh Blacks.

It was a father-and-son bonding experience, one that would forever chart the arc of a kid's life, but it wasn't exactly playing catch in the backyard.
"Dad would rent a print of Lili from the Pratt Library, set up a projector, and show it over and over again," says Baltimore filmmaker Matthew Porterfield.
Porterfield calls the 1953 film, the story of a waif adopted by a circus troupe, "a tragic, doomed love story. . . . I connected with it emotionally, maybe because I'm a secret romantic, even though I hate sentimentality. But what I understood at a very young age is that cinema could be an obsession."
It was at the Porterfield home in Hamilton that his father, a playwright who also teaches the art of teaching at The Johns Hopkins University's School of Education, obsessively screened Lili. It's the same house where Matthew filmed one of the more touching moments in his 2006 feature debut Hamilton. In the scene, a young woman named Lena leaves a note for her child's absent father, who lives in the basement. The note reminds the teenage father that he needs to see his kid.
It has been almost three years since The New Yorker called Hamilton—an hour of cinematic meditation built around non-professional actors and the simplest of story lines—"a minor miracle."
"It's one of the most original, moving, and accomplished American independent films in recent years," wrote critic Richard Brody. "[It] leaves the viewer astonished, hungry for more, and eagerly anticipating what Porterfield, still in his 20s, will do next."
Now a married man of 31 living in Ednor Gardens, the neighborhood near the YMCA where Memorial Stadium once stood, Porterfield decided to do what any Baltimorean worth his above-ground pool would—he's making a heavy metal, boy-meets-girl, love story set in Dundalk.
"Metal Gods is like Hamilton, just with sex, drugs, and rock and roll," wrote Porterfield in a fundraising e-mail to friends and family. "I'm tired of flirting with the industry and waiting for someone else to green-light my project. Metal Gods will shoot this summer."
But it's not cheap to film a shoplifting chase scene in the basement of the Eastpoint Mall.
"I hope he gets the money, because he's already made a movie on nothing once," says John Waters, who named Hamilton one of his favorite movies of 2006 and calls Porterfield, "the best filmmaker to come out of Baltimore in a very long time . . . a real artist."
Porterfield, a student of Waters's early work, is both grateful and keenly responsive to the dean's interest: "I learned more about the film industry in a 10-minute conversation with him than I did in three years at NYU. When he makes a suggestion, I take it."
Waters points out that Hamilton and his 2004 film, A Dirty Shame, both take place along Harford Road, but could not have been more different in their portrayal of Northeast Baltimore.
"Hamilton was beautiful; it made Harford Road look like a [Robert] Bresson movie," says Waters, noting that, like Porterfield, he must also hustle financing to get his films made. "I didn't know who he was before I saw Hamilton, but I liked it enough to send him a note. He's making very arty movies about blue-collar Baltimore, where people stop their cars in the middle of the street just to talk. No one has ever done that."
Sooner or later, the question is asked of anyone who makes films, or any kind of art, in Crabtown: Why Baltimore?
The answers are virtually codified: cheap rent and good food; a polyglot of cultures interbreeding in a port city straddling the Mason-Dixon line; and a surplus of genuine eccentrics unaware that they are half-a-bubble off plumb.
"There's a playful, 'who gives a f***' aesthetic to film and art in Baltimore, all owing to a lack of fancy," says Kristen Anchor, director of the Creative Alliance MovieMakers program at The Patterson Theater in Highlandtown. "This is a place where you can experiment and it's cool."
Compared to places like New York and Los Angeles, where a thousand actors and wannabes might show up to an open call for a deodorant commercial, nothing quite sums up Baltimore's film aesthetic like Porterfield's "Dustin" story.
"I cast this great kid named Dustin Renshaw—very smart, charismatic, and likable, he really took the material to the next level—as [Metal Gods'] antagonist," says Porterfield of the 19-year-old, whose still photo from the audition shows a ripe hickey on his neck the size of a Susan B. Anthony dollar. "But he's been difficult to track down since I gave him the part. He works a night shift in Curtis Bay and he either keeps losing his computer or he never checks his e-mail."
A lack of pretense can be charming—it's a big part of why Porterfield has gotten good performances from untrained actors—but there's nothing fun or easy about chasing financing to make films in Baltimore, which Porterfield describes as being "not stuck, but isolated" from the industry.
While "flirting" in vain with studio backing for Metal Gods, Porterfield had in mind a budget of a half-million dollars, a fraction of what a studio spends to promote a big Hollywood movie. He has yet to nail down substantial financing for the project, but because Porterfield is resourceful, respected, and relentless, few in the local film community doubt that Metal Gods will be made.
"When you work within your means and devise a specific narrative logic that benefits from an economical approach, you can nail what you want to do with limited resources," says Porterfield. "Even if it's only with $25,000."
Surrounding Porterfield in the constellation of young Maryland filmmakers are dozens of aspiring auteurs, most of them unlikely to spend even $25,000 on their next project.
An exception is Jeanie M. Clark, who hopes to debut her feature Smalltimore this month at the Maryland Film Festival (May 7-10 at The Charles Theatre). Smalltimore stars Towson resident Cheryl Scungio; features Joyce Scott as an eccentric, wealthy widow; and jumps off the screen with a cameo and music by Baltimore poet and Apathy Press publisher Tom DiVenti in the guise of T.T. Tucker and his Bum Rush Band.
"Baltimore equals production value," says Clark, who shot her entire film within a five-mile radius of her Mount Vernon home.
Locations included private mansions around Mount Vernon, an artist's loft near Penn Station, a classic rowhouse in Waverly, a sushi restaurant, an Irish pub, Fells Point art galleries, parks, War Memorial Plaza, and Federal Hill. "I spent about $40,000 to $45,000, but it looks like we spent more than $100,000 because of the range of locations," she says. "And a little respect and decent food for the people helping you goes a long way."
Other notable up-and-comers include Catherine Pancake, known for a documentary about mountain-top coal removal called Black Diamonds, who's promoting a new short called Jay Dreams, based on haikus written by Baltimore poet Jai Brooks; Bryan "Grasshopper" Robinson, the 2009 film fellow at the Creative Alliance, who's at work on an action serial about two cousins whose failure to return a video gets them in hot water with an underground kung fu theater cult; and the B-horror juggernaut of Chris LaMartina and Jimmy George, the makers of Dead Teenagers and Grave Mistakes.
On a more experimental bent, Karen Yasinsky creates hand-drawn cell animations and stop-action films with handmade puppets, and Mary Helena Clark shoots on a vintage Bolex and prints her own films in her basement.
Is anything more Baltimore than setting up a mad scientist laboratory of cinema in the basement?
There's also Steve Ruback, who graduated from Towson University last year after a four-year hitch in the Navy, and made a post-apocalyptic western called The Gunslinger Grifter Logan for a cool $3,500. "I've found it very easy to shoot just about anywhere in Baltimore," says Ruback. "I'm usually welcomed with open arms."
Of the very young local filmmakers around town, North Baltimore's Nicky Smith is among the brightest lights. "It's what I want to dedicate my life to," says the 16-year-old Friends School student. "In my head, I see what the world would look like on film."
Young enough to say things like "I haven't made a narrative film since the 8th grade," Smith attended Steve Yeager's "5th Wall" summer film camp for the past few years.
"I learned everything from him, from what a wide shot was to figuring out that a director has to be everybody's best friend who can do a million things at once," says Smith of Yeager, a lifelong Baltimorean whose Divine Trash documentary about John Waters's early career won a Sundance award in 1998.
Primarily a maker of documentaries—from shorts on the world of "noise music" to videos about unlicensed, independent music venues across Baltimore—Smith is currently writing a script about teenagers called Roman.
Unlike his earlier drama, this one will have dialogue. "I'm trying a lot of different styles of movie-making," says Smith, born in New York but claims full credentials as a Baltimorean. "I don't want to do the same thing twice in a row."
As contradictory as it sounds, success could preclude these filmmakers from continuing to work in town. Barry Levinson, with a 1960 diploma from Forest Park High School and a 1989 directing Oscar for Rain Man, is a case in point. Levinson hasn't made a film in Baltimore since Liberty Heights a decade ago.
Especially beloved here for his 1982 film, Diner, Levinson's most recent hometown star turn occurred in January when he lobbied the General Assembly for broader support for the Maryland film industry. "I cannot shoot movies in Maryland," Levinson told legislators, noting that he wanted to make the 2006 Robin Williams movie Man of the Year here, but instead went to Toronto, where production costs were cheaper. The musical version of Hairspray was also filmed in Toronto, rather than Baltimore, for the same reason.
With big budgets come accountants making decisions to set up production in foreign countries. Next-to-no budget brings the freedom not only to shoot where you please but, in Porterfield's case, where you must.
Porterfield grew up a middle class kid with a working class mentality, someone who attended the privileged Park School in Greenspring Valley, moved to New York, and then came home to dinner in Hamilton.
He isn't leaving anytime soon. "I left my whole life in New York and moved back to Baltimore to write a screenplay," says Porterfield, who teaches screenwriting and film production at The Johns Hopkins University. "I lived in New York for eight years and I didn't want to tell stories there," he says. "I was writing scenes and they were all set in Baltimore.
"Thankfully, this is a town where it's still possible to get a bunch of creative people together and make a film on the cheap."

Research and Public Health Advocacy
The ASM Office of Public Affairs tracks federal agency research and public health budgets and provides summary information to reflect the outcome of the appropriations process as it unfolds throught the year.
Research and Development Funding News
March 12, 2014 – Summary of the President's FY 2015 Budget Request for Research and Public Health
The ASM Office of Public Affairs has summarized the President's FY 2015 budget request for the agencies that fund research and public health programs.
January 17, 2014 - ASM Statement on the FY 2014 Omnibus Appropriations Bill
The ASM released a statement about the passage of the "Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2014."
January 14, 2014 - Omnibus Appropriations Bill Increases Research Funding
House and Senate appropriations committees released an FY 2014 omnibus appropriations bill on January 13 that would fund the federal government through September and restores some of the funding lost to the across-the-board cuts from sequestration. The bill includes all 12 FY 2014 spending bills. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) would receive a $1 billion (3.5 percent) increase over the FY 2013 post-sequestration budget and is funded at $29.926 billion. The funding level for NIH is $714 million less than the FY 2013 enacted level of $30.6 billion before sequestration. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is funded at $7.2 billion, which restores funding lost to sequestration, but this level is about $400 million below the President's 2014 budget request of $7.6 billion. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) would receive $6.9 billion, $567 million over the FY 2013 program level, and a line item of $30 million is included for the Advanced Molecular Detection Initiative. The USDA Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is funded at the requested level of $316 million. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would receive $2.6 billion, $91 million over the FY 2013 enacted level, or $4.4 billion including user fees, $85 million of which are restored due to the sequester. The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science level of funding is $5.1 billion, $195 million ( 4 percent) over the FY 2013 enacted level. The expectation is that the omnibus bill will get enough bipartisan support to pass although a short term continuation of government funding through January 18 is being considered to provide additional time for final passage of the omnibus bill. The omnibus bill reasserts the regular order of the appropriations process and provides restoration of some of the funding lost to sequestration, but it does not completely reverse the effects of sequestration.
December 19, 2013 - Budget Deal Finalized by Congress
The House and Senate have passed a budget compromise measure (HJ Res 59), which allocates to appropriations committees an increase in fiscal year 2014 spending levels and rolls back budgetary sequestration requirements that were due to impact research programs. Congressman Ryan and Senator Murray, chairs of a bipartisan and bicameral "Budget Conference Committee," established by passage of the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution of 2014," negotiated the "Bipartisan Budget Agreement Act of 2013 (BBA)." The agreement reconciles spending cap differences between the House and the Senate for FY 2014. The Ryan-Murray deal finalized discretionary spending for the current fiscal year (FY) 2014 at $1.012 trillion, roughly halfway between the House budget level of $967 billion and the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion. The BBA also provides partial relief from sequestration in FY 2015. The agreement allows appropriators to draft spending bills for the remainder of FY 2014 and provides $63 billion in relief from sequester cuts over the next two years for both defense and non-defense discretionary programs. The Bipartisan Budget Agreement is a step forward in mitigating some of the harm from the random cuts of sequestration. The ASM has been urging Congress to end sequestration and will continue to advocate for robust investment in basic research as the appropriations process proceeds for FY 2014 and FY 2015. The Bipartisan Budget Act is designed to restore order to the federal budget and appropriations process and to allow some reinvestment in domestic priorities, such as research. The BBA restores almost two-thirds of the scheduled non-defense discretionary cuts in 2014. House and Senate appropriations committees are beginning the process to write FY 2014 spending bills before the expiration of the current Continuing Resolution on January 15, 2014. Information and updates on appropriations bills will be available at: http://www.asm.org/ResearchFunding.
October 29, 2013 - ASM Sends Funding Recommendations to the Budget Conference Committee
The ASM sent funding recommendations to the Budget Conference Committee. The Budget Conference Committee has a December 13, 2013, deadline to negotiate the differences in spending levels for FY 2014 between the House and the Senate and to issue a report.
October 17, 2013 - Continuing Resolution/Budget Conference Committee Update
On October 17, HR. 2775 the "Continuing Appropriations Resolution of 2014" was signed into law by the President, extending the debt ceiling through February 7, 2014 and temporarily restoring funding for government agencies. This page includes an analysis of the bill.
September 19, 2013 - Research Funding Update
As the start of Fiscal Year 2014 approaches, Congress remains undecided over federal funding and strategy to extend current year spending authority through a FY 2014 Continuing Resolution (CR), a stopgap bill to fund the government from October 1 through December 15. The CR is intended to provide a timeframe for Congress to come to agreement on full year 2014 appropriations for federal agencies. The recently introduced House CR would fund federal programs at their current post-sequester FY 2013 level of funding. The ASM continues to work with Congress, along with coalitions of science and public health advocates, to ensure that research and public health programs are funded at the highest level possible and that deficit control measures do not result in additional cuts to these essential programs.
On July 18, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved by voice vote, the subcommittee's FY 2014 appropriations bill for Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS). The legislation funds the National Science Foundation (NSF) at $7.4 billion, a $430 million increase over the House Appropriations Committees FY 2014 level. The bill will next be sent to the full Senate for approval.
On July 17, the House Appropriations Committee approved the FY 2014 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) spending bill for fiscal year (FY) 2014. The House legislation would fund the National Science Foundation (NSF) at $7 billion, $259 million below the enacted FY 2013 level, but $111 million more than the FY 2013 final funding level, after sequestration.
On July 10, the House approved its spending bill for the Department of Energy (DOE). The office of Science would receive $4.7 billion, approximately $300 million below the President's request for FY 2014, and Basic Energy Sciences (BES) would receive $1.6 billion. The Senate Appropriations Committee, however, recommended $5.2 billion for the Office of Science, the same as the President's FY 2014 request.
On July 9, the Senate Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Labor Health and Human Services, Education and Related Agencies released its FY 2014 appropriation recommendations and included funding levels for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Highlights are:
NIH: the subcommittee recommended $30,945,776 billion for the NIH, an increase of nearly $307 million over the FY 2013 enacted level, before sequestration, and $147 million below the Administration's request.
CDC: the subcommittee recommended $7,022,769 billion, an increase of $478 million from FY 2013 enacted level and more than $378 million over the Administration's request.
In late June, the Senate Appropriations Committee, Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies approved their FY 2014 spending bill for the Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) among others. The legislation would fund the FDA with a total of $2.6 billion, $96 million over FY 2013 and the Agriculture Research Service (ARS) at the USDA would receive $1.1 billion, $51 million over FY 2013. The House Committee approved $2.5 billion in FY 2014 for the FDA, and recommended $291 million for the USDA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI), $92 million below the President's request.

text: Harmony Omar Thomas Assistant Professor "I use music to teach music. Music theory can be very daunting and frightening to look at, but what it represents is something that is so universal. I'm really about getting past the scary terms, symbols, dots, and lines and getting to what they represent. I'm a huge advocate of talking about not how music sounds but how it feels, to instantly make that connection." Read more about Omar Thomas Suzanne M. Clark Associate Professor "We call it 'music theory' because in a sense it is theoretical until you actually put it to sound. So I try to stress in class not to get caught up in your head to the extent that it's all calculated. In the end, you either confirm or affirm your theory by listening to it and saying, 'Yes, I hear that the leading tone wants to move to do, or that fa wants to move to mi.' I want my students to develop their own ear and make connections between what they hear outside of class and what goes on inside class." Read more about Suzanne M. Clark Joseph Mulholland Chair "The essence of the Harmony Department is music fundamentals as they play out in notation, chord progression, melody, and bass lines. In any other school, they call it theory. And it is theory, but it's much more practical than an ordinary theory class would be. We teach students to take apart the music they listen to and understand how it's put together. They take the music apart like a watch, see what the pieces are and what they're doing. Hopefully, the students learn from that and use that knowledge to create their own music, a watch of their own—but one that still runs." Read more about Joseph Mulholland David Harris Assistant Professor "I want my students to understand the necessity to have competent craft beyond their talent. They need to have technical skills beyond just inspiration to be successful, and to have a dogged vision of what it is that they want out of music and pursue it. As a bandleader, who do I hire? Maybe not the most creative person, but someone I know will go out there and aggressively put their mind to what they need to do." Read more about David Harris John Stein Associate Professor "Music is an interesting thing. Much of music is emotional. It's human expression, and you can't teach that, of course. And you can't teach artistry. You can only teach the craft of music. But the actual material that I teach—the nuts and bolts—is something that, once you internalize it, you can use it to create great art with. Every moment of my music-making includes the material that I teach. It informs what I do intuitively to a great extent." Read more about John Stein Lucy Holstedt Professor "I like to be spontaneous and creative in class. For instance, I ask my students to bring in recordings they like, and I'll develop a lesson from their music right on the spot. It keeps things fresh, and it means they can personally identify with what we're learning." Read more about Lucy Holstedt Randy Felts Associate Professor "Old tunes also come back from time to time, so I may have several recordings of the same song. In class I can play the original version and then move up to others recorded more recently. I'll put the basic progressions on the board for students to check out. Then, since I have 3,000 pieces of music with me all the time on my laptop, I can jump from 30 seconds of one to 15 seconds of another. Students hear the changes in the arrangement and rhythmic style of the same progression as it mutates through the different eras." Read more about Randy Felts Stephen Dale Professor "All professional contemporary musicians, no matter what style they favor, should have a degree of what I call 'harmonic improvisation' skill. By that I mean the ability to add or change chords selectively in progressions to enhance the harmony and make the music more appealing to the listener. In my harmony classes, I cover each functional group of chords by showing how to use the chords on the spot in a free-wheeling, improvisational way." Read more about Stephen Dale Rick Kress Associate Professor "Transcription can easily fall into drafting, but without hearing it, it means practically nothing. So I always integrate hearing and writing, and with the software we use, students can create bits of music, so we can hear them back and make a judgment about how it sounds. What's the melody-harmony relationship? Are the phrases balanced? Are they coherent? Is there a note that sends the phrase in a direction that is never realized? I think the more we do that without students becoming overwhelmed by the prospect, the better." Read more about Rick Kress Daniel Ian Smith Associate Professor "Given all the constructs we have to deliver, it would be easy to walk into class and throw a list up on the board. But I'd rather start with a piece of music and ask, 'What colors do you see? When you hear this section, what does it feel like?' I want to start with that tangible connection and then say, 'Okay, now let's look at the chords, or the relationship between the melody and the harmony.'

Obama will thereby create the space that will enable him to combat Israeli policy that seems wrong to him and in his estimation jeopardizes Israel's future and also hurts the United States," Goldberg said. "The Obama of the first term did not come to Israel and demanded a settlement freeze. The Obama of the second term is coming to Israel so he could be in the position to demand a settlement freeze in the future."
Goldberg to Haaretz: Obama using visit to 'create the space to combat Israeli policy' – Obama visits Israel Israel News | Haaretz
March 20, 2013President's visit marks the end to Israeli isolationism – Opinion – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
March 19, 2013By coming to Israel, Obama blocked Netanyahu from making a third victory trip to Washington and enjoying an enthusiastic reception from the Republicans, who would have invited the prime minister to once again address Congress or arranged some similar celebration. Now Obama is alone in the frame, without his rivals from the Republican Party. Netanyahu will have to deal with him alone, without his conservative cheering squad.
Obama is leaving the "bad cop" role to his secretary of state, John Kerry, who will remain in the region to nag Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas about resuming the diplomatic process. Kerry needs no grooming for this task; he is totally familiar with all the details of the negotiations Israel has held in the past with the Palestinians and with Syria.
This time, however, he isn't here as an observer, as was the case when he was a senator; now he is the responsible intermediary. If he succeeds in making progress, he will fill his president's Nobel Prize with some content. If he fails, as did his predecessors, he will be blamed. Obama will already be busy with other things,
There's no such thing as a free lunch – Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
March 19, 2013Obama has decided to visit Israel because he understood from Netanyahu last week that a two-state solution is possible.
The president and his advisors do not really believe Netanyahu and are not concealing their suspicion towards him. But as far as they are concerned, Netanyahu actually lost the recent elections and will therefore do whatever is asked of him. He has no choice.
Obama is coming in order to apply pressure on Netanyahu's weak point after the people of Israel have spoken and after America's fear that Israel was shifting to the right proved to be, for the most part, unfounded.
After winning the hearts of the people, Obama will get down to business. His mission: Renew the alliance with the Israeli public and clarify to Netanyahu that playtime is over. He does not intend to let up until white smoke appears.

Kerry determined to resolve conflict – Israel Opinion, Ynetnews
March 19, 2013new Secretary of State John Kerry phoned Netanyahu and Abbas as soon as he was sworn in.
Kerry is focused, say those who have spoken to him about the Middle East, and about Israel in particular.
"So much of what we aspire to achieve and what we need to do globally, what we need to do in the Maghreb and South Asia, South Central Asia, throughout the Gulf, all of this is tied to what can or doesn't happen with respect to Israel-Palestine," he said at his confirmation hearing. "And in some places it's used as an excuse. In other places it's a genuine, deeply felt challenge."
Kerry also believes that time is running out on the two-state solution. "We need to try to find a way forward, and I happen to believe that there is a way forward," Kerry said just a few days before his appointment was confirmed.
"But I also believe that if we can't be successful that the door, or window, or whatever you want to call it, to the possibility of a two-state solution could shut on everybody and that would be disastrous in my judgment."

Palestinian Authority sends opposition figure to deliver rebuke of Obama – Diplomacy & Defense – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
March 19, 2013Barghouti said he regretted that the little time allocated to Obama's visit in the West Bank will prevent him from seeing how ethnic separation operates in Hebron, or how discrimination on Israel's part is expressed in the division of water sources between Israelis and Palestinians.
Even though there is a positive dimension to a visit by an American president to Ramallah and Bethlehem, after the recognition in the United Nations of Palestine as a non-member state, Barghouti also noted a number of negative aspects to the visit, in his opinion: While Obama will place a wreath on the grave of Yitzhak Rabin, he will not include in his Ramallah itinerary the grave of Yasser Arafat.
Obama also refused to meet with the daughter of a Palestinian prisoner, and he will visit the Israel Museum, where archaeological finds stolen from the Palestinian territories are exhibited, said Barghouti.
Resurrecting Obama's reputation in the Middle East – Opinion – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
March 19, 2013the president himself has such low expectations of the Israeli and Palestinian leaders he will be meeting, after they repeatedly disappointed him in his first term, that he no longer believes much can be achieved on the peace front. So why wait? Better to get the visit over and done with, demonstrate he is a lover of Zion, deprive his Republican adversaries of an effective talking point, and move on to greener Asian pastures.
That cynical view of the purposes of the Obama White House overlooks one critical objective that the president can achieve on this visit. He can reintroduce himself to the Israeli public as the American leader who does care deeply about their security and well-being, will be – as he has already been – in the trenches with them when the chips are down, means what he says when he vows that he will not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons, AND will be their reliable partner in the effort to resolve their existential conflict with the Palestinians.

Obama' visit: Embrace the victory of politics over substance – Opinion – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
March 18, 2013Given American (and European) refusal to directly deploy the considerable leverage at their disposal to push Israel to de-occupation, it is better if the President not insist on the immediate resumption of bilateral Israeli-Palestinian negotiations. Israeli impunity and maximalism combined with the asymmetry between the parties – exacerbated rather than mitigated by U.S. policy – guarantees that renewed direct negotiations will do more harm than good, further convincing the respective publics that a deal is impossible. No wonder Naftali Bennet (and Hamas) see no threat in further negotiations, even with Minister Livni at the helm.
What then is left for a visiting President to do? Some cling to the notion that more American assurances and carrots will encourage Israel on the road to peace. That is farcical. The juiciest economic, military and diplomatic carrots have already been conferred on Israel irrespective of its entrenchment of occupation or violations of international law. No American carrot will induce Naftali Bennett or Uri Ariel, or Netanyahu and his faction of annexationists to abandon the settlements. So if the President is unwilling to change the rules of the game, better that he go with the flow, that he embrace and own the primacy of the political in this relationship. He can dust-off and re-tool part of the Clinton playbook of the 1990's for engineering Israeli politics.
And that is probably what Obama's visit should and in fact may start to do. By speaking directly to Israelis, including at an especially convened event in Jerusalem, Obama is doing something he avoided in his first term: He is accumulating some personal credit in the bank with the Israeli public. He should be looking to create an opportunity during his second term to draw on that deposit by building toward a clear moment of decision for Israel on the terms of reference for a two-state deal, notably a territorial resolution based on the 1967 lines with equal and minimal land swaps.
Israeli leftists, stop fantasizing – Opinion – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper
March 18, 2013In his Jerusalem speech, Obama needs to tell the Israeli left the truth: The change must come from within, from the influence on public opinion and voters' attitudes. Instead of making the mistake of believing in outside pressure, learn from the settlers how a small and determined group can connect with the mainstream and divert the public's beliefs for its own purposes.

Ahead of Israel visit, Obama tells US Jewish leaders prospects for Mideast peace are bleak – The Washington Post
March 16, 2013President Barack Obama told American Jewish leaders Thursday that near-term prospects for Mideast peace are bleak, downplaying expectations of a breakthrough during his highly anticipated trip to Israel and the West Bank later this month.
Obama emphasized that his intention was not to deliver a "grand peace plan," according to a person who attended the hourlong private meeting at the White House. But the president said that doesn't preclude him from launching such an effort in the coming months, the person said, and made clear that peace with the Palestinians was the only way for Israel to achieve long-term security.
One meeting won't fix things between Obama and Netanyahu. Here's what might. – The Washington Post
March 16, 2013Previously, the most dysfunctional relationship had been between George H.W. Bush and Yitzhak Shamir. During their first meeting, the prime minister told Bush that West Bank settlements wouldn't be a problem; the president thought that meant construction would stop. When Shamir expanded them, Bush believed he had lied. But their relationship improved when the prime minister, in response to American requests, did not retaliate against Iraqi Scud missiles fired during the Gulf war
If Netanyahu wants to be remembered as more than a do-nothing prime minister, and if Obama wants to avoid being the American president on whose watch Iran gets the bomb and the two-state solution expires, they'll have to cooperate.

Comments about Dr.Hauschka Skin Care Rejuvenating Mask, 1 oz:
I can't believe I spend [$] for a 1 oz tube of mask, but I do. I use this mask weekly and after I rinse it off I can't stop touching my face. I don't know what ingredient is in it, but it makes my skin feels like a rose petal. I have been using Dr. Hauschka products pretty much exclusively for about 2 years now and my skin has never looked better (and I'm in my late 30s). I have always had uneven skin tone and occasional breakouts, but not since using the Dr. Hauschka line. This mask is one of my favorite products. Since using this mask and other Dr. Hauschka products (the cleansers and toners) I barely need to wear foundation anymore.

Comments about Dr.Hauschka Skin Care Rejuvenating Mask, 1 oz:
Lots of masque require a ton of rubbing to remove which can be irritating to sensitive skin. This one removes easily and leaves my skin feeling super smooth. Love it! Have tried many other organic masques and this is the best one available. Worth every penny! Don't need expensive facials now that I've found this masque.

Women's Four-Inch MFWoven Shorts
July 14, 2012
If you like lightweight, quick dry shorts, these are for you. What I like most is that the waist band does not strangle your midsection. You can tie it if you need a snug fit, or leave untied for a more relaxed fit. When you sweat, they don't stick to your legs as the wicking capacity if of high quality. I didn't notice the inside pocket at first because it is so well hidden (on the back hip), but it will probably hold a key or two; I like it. For the price, I really like these shorts. If you need pockets for those long runs, or if out on the trail, I would probably opt for the patagonia trail shorts, otherwise, these are great for a quick run, or a workout in the gym. The inner briefs also fit perfectly and don't rub or chafe-always a plus!
Pros: flattering all purpose short, reflective, well priced, lightweight, inner brief, Cons: no pockets (if that is important)Nike Women's Four-Inch MFWoven Shorts Photo

The University recognizes the lifetime commitments of our Academy members to advancing the quality of life through achievement, high ethical standards, and innovation.
The men and women of our Academy represent the most successful U-Idaho alumni who have contributed in phenomenal ways to the reputation of our College of Engineering and the University of Idaho.
Each class sets the standard for future inductees into the Academy as we recognize the national and international contributions they have made as both citizens and engineers. The Academy members also serve as role models for our students and graduates and help to encourage them to fully use their U-Idaho education and personal talents in making the world a better place.
To me, this is the most important aspect of the Academy of Engineers: inspiring others. I especially want all of our students to note the stories of our Academy members and imagine some of the things they can do during their careers.
On behalf of the College of Engineering, congratulations to each of our Academy of Engineers inductees.

I also bought a bargain basement Bionic lapdock and was so disappointed with the completely anemic performance under Gingerbread. I did follow the ICS development closely enough to realize the Webtop in ICS would be a very different implementation and decided to hold off before dumping it on eBay. I am pleasantly suprised with Webtop 3.0, I'd love to see some other improvements, i.e. easily expanding available memory via SDcard swap expansion or similar. BUT the Webtop 3.0 experience is very usable and makes me happy I kept my Bionic lapdock, so that is the best endorsement one could hope for of ICS as far as the Webtop is concerned.
If any developers are considering hacks/mods/enhancements to Webtop 3.0 OR getting webuntu working on ICS I would be willing to lend a hand if you are looking for help.

REHEARSAL: Friday, June 14th, 9:00 a.m., CenturyLink Field. Use VIP NW Entrance. (Shuttle to Rehearsal or Driving instructions)
CHECK-IN AND BRUNCH: Saturday, June 15th, 11:00 a.m., CenturyLink Event Center
COMMENCEMENT: Saturday, June 15th, CenturyLink Field.
Commencement at CenturyLink Field this year will involve some significant changes, so please read your instructions carefully (linked below) and please attend the rehearsal. We suggest that you print your instructions and bring them with you to the rehearsal and on Commencement Day. The principal changes involve the student line up areas, which will be located in the CenturyLink Event Center, directly south of CenturyLink Field (see Location Map), and the procession into the stadium. The procession will begin at the south end of CenturyLink Field and move towards the stage at the north end (see your instructions). Students will be seated beginning with the rows closest to the stage and continuing back; but they will approach those rows from the front of the seating section, not the back. Each marshal group will have a team captain who will be available at the rehearsal and on Commencement Day to answer questions regarding these instructions.
On Commencement Day, all marshals should enter at the Marshal Entrance, located at the southeast corner of the Event Center, as shown on the Location Map. Access to the areas you will need to get to will be very difficult from any other entrance so please use the Marshal Entrance. Take the elevator near the Marshal Entrance to the second level, where the marshal check-in area and the brunch will be located. Those taking the shuttle from campus will be dropped off at this entrance. Those not taking the shuttle will need to find their way to this entrance. We strongly suggest that marshals take the shuttle, if at all possible.If you have any additional questions please contact our office.

She's not the only young woman speaking out about birth control, body image, and a host of other issues that affect teens, and yet she's constantly hearing the message that there are no young feminists, and no politically engaged youth.

The fact is that these medications don't increase the rate of sexual activity at a statistically significant rate, but who cares if they did?

Raising the Bar: How to Make Better Cocktails at Home with Audrey Saunders
We tapped the Pegu Club owner and 2013 JBF Gala mixologist to share her tips for better at-home mixology.
Simple Syrup, Simply Put
When it comes to cocktails, we don't want to cook simple syrup; that increases its viscosity. There are exceptions, but we generally don't want heaviness in a cocktail. Fill a bottle halfway with superfine sugar, which is gritless and dissolves instantly. (I like to repurpose 10-ounce glass soda bottles. They're ideal for home use and a speed pourer fits perfectly into them.) Fill the other half with filtered, room-temperature water. Cap and shake well. The mixture will appear cloudy at first but will quickly settle. Top off with more water. When it's transparent, it's ready for use.

Scholarship Spotlight: Casco Bay Dreamin'
Paul C. Reilly is the chef and owner of Beast + Bottle in Denver. He was a recipient of the 2013 Jean-Louis Palladin Professional Work/Study grant, which he used to study sustainable fishing at Browne Trading Company in Portland, Maine.
As I pulled my white Ford Fiesta rental into the parking garage and stuck my boots out, there it was. It penetrated my nostrils and would continue to do so for the next five days. Salt, but not just the smell of salt, it was the feel of salt, the taste of salt. Mixed with seaweed and mud, it was the scent of Casco Bay. Not all ocean water smells like this. It has to be real cold water. It has to be the North Atlantic.
I'd come to learn over the next week that that scent holds a story all its own. It's a story of history and tradition; the story of Maine as told to me by the people who work its boats and docks. I was lucky that my... Read more >
Recipe: Parsnip Cake
Parsnip cake doesn't enjoy as high of a profile as its carrot-based cousin does, but it's equally tasty and just as much of a breeze to prepare. This version from Berwyn, Pennsylvania's Nectar uses a fat pinch of baking spices to coax out the earthy sweetness of the grated root vegetables. If you have a food processor and a fine shredder disc, we recommend using them to prep your parsnips. The disc will produce a more delicate cut than a box grater will, and your finished cake will have a more pleasing texture.
Get the recipe here. The Nectar team will be cooking at the Beard House on February 8.
