'Picture of Dorian Gray' borrowed in 1934 is finally returned
A rare book telling the story of a young man who sells his soul in a bargain whereby he stops ageing has been returned to a library after having been taken out in 1934. The tome in question is a valuable first edition of The Picture of Dorian Gray, the novel written by noted 19th-century writer, wit and theatrical luvvie Oscar …
No offence to Stephen Fry
But Oscar Wilde was a bit more than the Stephen Fry of his time.
Similar mannerisms and proclivities, but to my knowledge Stephen Fry has yet to pen any works that reach worldwide acclaim or which will still be commonly referenced in popular culture long after his death.

@Bernard Re: "No offence to Stephen Fry"
I have admit that although I have enjoyed a great deal of Fry's work as a comedian I cannot dispute what you say. Wilde's talents were considerable including a mastery of the epigram, what we perhaps might today often be tempted to call "the soundbite". He was a past master at summing up a socio-political point he wanted to make whilst making it extremely funny. In the hope that no techies from the Countryside Alliance are going to log on and hose me, I feel that his description of fox hunting as "the unspeakable in pursuit of the uneatable" is an example of an absolute mastery of encapsulating a point in one sentence and cracking a very funny joke at the same time.
Re: No offence to Stephen Fry
"There is only one thing worse than being compared to a fatuous fanboi, and that is NOT being ... um, hang on... no there isn't." - O. Wilde, spinning, in grave, 2012.
Interestingly Stephen Fry played the part of Oscar Wilde in a 1997 movie opposite Jude Law
does that mean
That we can expect Stephen Fry to be banged up in Reading Nick in the future?
Re: does that mean
Actually Mr Fry has already spent time at her majesties pleasure for stealing credit cards I believe in his early years
It's not what you know....
I'm not a fan of Stephen Fry but he does have one endearing quality - he's sung on an album by Kate Bush!
Re: It's not what you know....
"I'm not a fan of Stephen Fry but he does have one endearing quality - he's sung on an album by Kate Bush!"
Not really singing - he spoke 50 words for snow.
Damn fine track though
Re: It's not what you know....
He also, if I recall, appeared in Kate's video for Experiment IV many, many years ago - alongside Hugh Laurie & French & Saunders.
Re: It's not what you know....
I don't think he was in Experiment IV but Hugh Laurie and Dawn French were.
As an aside, Kate Bush seems to be working her way through the cast of Blackadder in terms of collaborations - Rowan Atkinson, Hugh Laurie, Tim McInnerny, Miranda Richardson, and Stephen Fry the latest.
Which basically leaves Tony Robinson and Rik Mayall. Kate Bush and Rik Mayall - oh God please let it happen...
@ 0765794e08
I suppose Tony Robinson could take the Time Team and rummage around her collection of hits. It could be broadly categorised as archeology.
Re: It's not what you know....
Stephen in Experiment IV? No. But Dawn French and Hugh Laurie both are.
Re: @ 0765794e08
Funny gag, kind Sir, but you seem to be behind the times yourself.
Kate Bush's R.U.T.H. 2012 remix, which featured in the Olympics opening ceremony, entered the UK charts at no.6 on 19 August, and peaked at no.3 on iTunes on 21 August. Dig it!
Duno about the rest of you, but I'd have been seriously tempted to borrow some 1930's clothing to wear when returning the book...
Re: Hmmm...
"Yes, I'm a very slow reader but it's a very good book, I've barely put it down in... Good God, is that the year!?!?!"
Wow, and I thought I was a record holder
for late library books.
While clearing out an old storage shed a couple of years ago, I discovered a copy of Wind In The Willows that I'd borrowed from the local library as a primary school kid in 1977 and forgotten to return. I also was trepidatious about the late fees, but I reckoned if the library tried to hit me up for that many times the book's value I could make enough of a song and dance about it in the local media that I'd most likely get away with it.
So I took it back, explaining to the librarian how I'd borrowed it as a primary school kid back in 1977 and forgotten to return it. She was so gobsmacked that she simply waived the late fees - which we computed just out of interest; adjusted for inflation it came to $955.50 AUD (for our UK readers, about £620.) The librarian said it had to be the latest book she'd ever seen returned - 33 years, although she was quite young and had only worked there for 4 years. The fact that I'd checked the book out 10 years before she was even born was a point of amusement for both of us!
In fact, the book wasn't even in the system any more, and hadn't been for years. Obviously it had been written off as lost decades ago, and since then the system had changed so many times any record of it was long since gone. The librarian had to enter it into the system as a new acquisition.
But yeah, I reckon 1934 beats my 1977 by a fair old chalk. Kudos to that woman!
Re: Wow, and I thought I was a record holder
That's the kind of feelgood story I would have expected would have made an appearance in the local free paper, if only for the sakes of advertising the existence of the local library. It would have taken up half a column along with the obligatory picture of you handing over the book sheepishly 33 years late to an annoyed looking librarian pointing to a calendar.
Thumbs up from me!
Re: Wow, and I thought I was a record holder
You've not borrowed a book from your local library since 1977?
Everybody should visit their library from time to time otherwise some bureaucrat will decide there aren't enough people using it to justify its cost. We'll all be worse off if that happens.
@ Fibbles
Absolutely agree on that point, but I suppose there is reason for it...
You see, the "local" library is in town, and my parents' house is in (what was then) the outer suburbs, and I was in grade 6 at the time, so as you can imagine I required Mum and Dad's Taxi Service to get me in and out of town. By the time I was old enough to go into town by myself I was more interested in discos and girls than libraries and books. After that I got into computers (which wasn't good for my interest in girls or books!), and the rest, as they say, is history.
But you're right, of course, and I'll try to make a bit more of an effort to visit the library in future. If only because it's something different to do!
Another vote for Wilde
Stephen would love nothing more than to be compared to Wilde, but it's really like comparing Katie Price to Audrey Hepburn - Bless Him!
Re: Another vote for Wilde
I'm sure Stephen Fry would be the first to decline any comparison between himself and Oscar Wilde.
But to compare Mr Fry to Katie Bloody Price is grossly unfair to the gentleman!!!
And you, sir, are a cad and a bounder of the highest order for doing so.
Grrr, etc.
Re: Another vote for Wilde
AC didn't compare Mr Fry to Ms Price.
Analogies don't work that way.
A is to B as C is to D says exactly nothing of any relationship between A and C or between B and D.
Re: Another vote for Wilde
Everybody likes to mock Katie Price but she's attained a lifestyle and wealth most of us can only dream of. And, whilst she may not be a MENSA candidate, she's certainly more intelligent than she lets on. I say kudos to her. She's worked to get to where she is today and it's a shame she gets lumped in with the likes of Paris Hilton who appears to be famous for nothing other than being born to a rich family.
Re: Another vote for Wilde
"Everybody likes to mock Katie Price but she's attained a lifestyle and wealth most of us can only dream of"
Well, yes, that is what usually happens when you win the genetic lottery, natch.
She'd be working as a checkout chick if she looked more like say, Stephen Fry.
Re: Another vote for Wilde
Yeah but I heard a rumour that Katie could sing without being dubbed, not maybe as well as Julie Andrews, but hey ... :P
Re: "genetic lottery"
I would put forward that the two original reasons for Katie Price's fame had nothing to do with genetics or chance.
Re: "genetic lottery"
The original reasons were indeed down to genetics, the rest was bolted on later.
Mine is the grubby mac
Re: Another vote for Wilde
"Everybody likes to mock Katie Price but she's attained a lifestyle and wealth most of us can only dream of"
She doesn't look happy though. I'd even go as far as to say she's a bit of a shrew, she's also totally arrogant and self-centered...what's not to mock?
probably preserved it better than the library would have
I'd posit that losing the book was the best way to preserve it.
I don't know about other libraries, but ours turns over a large portion of the collection every year. A book like this may not have been determined to be a classic for quite a while, at which time most of the copies would have been lost, sold off, or destroyed.
And many books that seem to turn up most valuable or rare may be because they were deemed crap at the time, and just generally thrown out. When the one or two stragglers that were forgotten about show up they're valuable.
Re: probably preserved it better than the library would have
By George I think he's got it (don't know what it is but he's got it)!
Wilde v Fry
Granted, Fry is no Wilde, but can any commentards think of a closer comparison?
Re: Wilde v Fry
"Your majesty is like a dose of clap; before you arrive is pleasure, but after is a pain in the dong."
Re: Wilde v Fry
I do believe that the most apt comparison would be to say that Oscar Wilde was was the Oscar Wilde of his day.
And I'm quite surprised that it has not yet been said in this forum.
Re: Wilde v Fry
The AO of the thinking classes ? (OK, I know I'm being unfair to Mr Fry, but still....)
1st edition!
No mention in the article but my first thought was how much must it be worth?
A reasonable sum it turns out...
And why not just mail it back, thus avoiding any late fees?
Re: 1st edition!
Because a decent librarian will track you down no matter - ordinary bounty hunter could learn from them.......
"There's nothing in the story about Ms Vision's mother having lived an unusually long time without apparently ageing or anything."
The book, on the other hand, is surprisingly well-preserved considering its age.

The RCAF's new CH-147F Chinook fleet has a number of advanced features: a modernized airframe, long-range fuel system, upgraded electrical system, and an enhanced fully integrated common avionics architecture system cockpit, with digital automatic flight control system. Boeing Photo.
If all goes according to plan – and there's no really no need to doubt it, given Boeing's delivery record – the distinctive tandem-rotor slap of Canada's newest generation of Chinook helicopters will echo through the forested Ottawa River Valley next summer. The first of the new CH-147F medium-to-heavy-lift helicopters is expected in June at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, Ont., a 140-kilometre flight from National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa. It will be almost a year to the day since the aircraft rolled off the production line at Ridley Park, Pa., and was shipped to Mesa, Ariz., for flight testing and evaluation. The second helicopter was completed in late September, and is being put through its paces at U.S. Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md. The new Chinooks are expected to arrive at the rate of about one a month to a resurrected 450 Tactical Helicopter Squadron. Its 400 military personnel will be under the operational command of 1 Wing at CFB Kingston, Ont., which is tasked with providing combat-ready support to the Canadian Army. The new squadron's first commanding officer is LCol Duart Townsend, the last Chinook pilot to be trained as part of the previous 450 Squadron before it was disbanded in 1998. CFB Petawawa will see various infrastructure projects completed to accommodate the Chinooks. This includes new hangars that will incorporate training, maintenance, operational storage, and logistics. There also will be a new ramp, fuelling facility and aircraft parking apron. "Petawawa was chosen because it provides the best support to army and special operations forces, many of which are collocated there, while minimizing the associated infrastructure costs for the new fleet," said Gen Walt Natynczyk, who recently retired as Chief of the Defence Staff. "From this location, the Chinooks will maintain a high-readiness posture for rapid deployment." The CH-147F Chinook is the latest iteration of a proven platform dating from the early 1960s. Designed and initially built by Boeing Vertol (but now produced by Boeing Rotorcraft Systems), some 1,200 Chinooks have now been sold to 18 countries, the largest orders coming from the U.S. Army and the Royal Air Force. Its signature counter-rotating rotors (also seen on the venerable Boeing Vertol CH-113 Labrador, which eventually became the backbone of RCAF search-and-rescue operations) eliminate the need for the anti-torque vertical tail rotor found on most other rotorcraft, allowing all power to be used for lift and thrust. The ability to adjust lift in either rotor makes the Chinook less sensitive to centre-of-gravity shifts, critical for cargo slinging. And if one engine fails, the transmission linkage is such that the other can drive both rotors. The Chinook's name, by the way, has nothing to do with its massive rotor downwash, which might evoke the winds that storm through the Rockies. Rather, it was named for one of the native peoples of the Pacific Northwest. Boeing recently marked the 50th anniversary of the first Chinook delivery, as it neared completion of a $130-million renovation of its cavernous Ridley Park facility. "The Chinook has served as the backbone of U.S. Army aviation since the Vietnam era, revolutionizing how we move troops and supplies in combat, and saving lives and delivering aid in times of need," said Col Bob Marion, who manages the U.S. Army cargo helicopter program. "The latest F-model has ushered in a new era of heavy-lift capability for the U.S. Army. With continued technology insertions, I fully expect that 50 years from now there will be a centennial celebration for Chinooks still in service." More than 800 remain in operation worldwide, and Leanne Caret, Boeing vice-president for vertical lift and H-47 programs, points out that the Chinook is the company's longest continuous program. "It's in greater demand today than ever before," she said. "Chinooks are being delivered on schedule and operating at a higher rate than any time in history, thanks to our team's innovation, efficiency, and focus on meeting our customers' needs." The RCAF has had Chinooks in its rotary fleet on-and-off since the early 1970s, when it took delivery of eight C models. Those remained in service until 1991, when they were essentially upgraded to D specifications and sold to the Royal Netherlands Air Force, as part of sweeping budget cuts by the Progressive Conservative government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. Canada's commitment to a third generation of Chinooks was first announced by Defence Minister Peter MacKay in June 2006, as a key element of the five-month-old Conservative government's Canada First Defence Strategy (CFDS). That set out a multi-billion-dollar agenda for major replacement of air and naval forces. Two months later, MacKay and Industry Minister Tony Clement – who now as Treasury Board president is overseeing the latest round of budget cuts, which include a review of the CFDS – confirmed that The Boeing Company had been awarded a contract worth approximately $1.2 billion for 15 CH-147F aircraft, as well as a 20-year in-service support and maintenance contract worth some $2.2 billion. "These helicopters are key to keeping Canadians safe and secure by giving our military a robust ability to operate in remote and isolated areas and respond to disasters or missions both at home and abroad," MacKay enthused. DND says that while the new Canadian Fs are essentially OTS, they differ from the basic Boeing platform in three key areas: larger fuel tanks will double their range and endurance; a more comprehensive defensive suite has been installed; and, an improved electrical system will support the added requirements of the defensive suite and other aircraft systems. With a heavy-lift capability of up to 40 personnel or 11,363 kilograms of cargo, they will be able to deploy independently, including to the High Arctic. The operating range is increased to a basic 609 kilometres, with a mission radius of 370.4 kilometres. The basic F features airframe alterations to reduce vibration, and there are other structural enhancements to the cabin, aft section and rear ramp, as well as to the cockpit. The latter features a Rockwell Collins digital suite with a common avionics architecture system that includes five multi-function displays, a moving map display, a BAE Systems digital advanced flight control system, and a data transfer system for storing preflight and mission data. The more powerful Honeywell T55-GA-714A engines are fitted with full authority digital engine control and generate 4,733 shaft horsepower, or more than twice the power of earlier Chinooks' engines. In addition to giving the RCAF highly-enhanced operational capabilities, the Chinook contract is expected to bolster local economies by generating an estimated 5,500 jobs directly and up to 15,000 others indirectly. The government's Industrial and Regional Benefits policy means that Boeing is committed to reinvesting the full contractual amount into the Canadian economy and several companies are already benefitting.

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia's recruiting class rounded into pretty good shape pretty quickly Wednesday, just the way coaches like it to go.
There were no last-minute defections, and a couple on the fence fell the right way.
While there were some misses among those who waited until the end to extend the drama, all in all Mountaineer coach Dana Holgorsen termed the day a success.
"Overall we're pretty pleased,'' said Holgorsen of his first full recruiting class, which as of Wednesday evening numbered 26. "We signed 14 on offense and 12 on defense. There wasn't any area we had to stockpile, but if you look at the positions, we got a little bit of everything.''
Indeed, every position on the field was addressed save for punter and kicker. Among the 14 who project as offensive players, there are seven receivers (including one tight end), four offensive linemen, two running backs and a quarterback. The defensive players who signed binding letters of intent included four linemen, four safeties, two linebackers and two cornerbacks.
That breakdown includes the five freshmen who enrolled in January and count against last year's class. That means there are 21 in the 2012 class, four shy of the NCAA limit.
And it might not be over. While the vast majority of players sign on the first day, the signing period runs a full month. Holgorsen may or may not have any other specific targets in mind, but he said he is keeping his options open.
"[Recruiting] never stops,'' he said. "We've still got a couple of spots open, so we'll continue to look.''
Other targets could include junior college players, a few who might be waiting for test scores or, what seems most likely these days, a fifth-year transfer. The NCAA allows players who have graduated and still have eligibility remaining to move without sitting out a year. The Mountaineers got two of those last season in Wake Forest receiver Devon Brown and Notre Dame lineman Steve Paskorz.
There is also room under the cap of 85 scholarships on the full roster for more players. Holgorsen said he will go into spring practice with 61, a number that includes the five enrolled freshmen. Adding the 21 who signed Wednesday brings the number to 82. And there is always the chance of attrition between now and the summer.
As for those who signed Wednesday and will report in the summer, the vast majority were of the three-star variety according to the two primary Internet scouting sources, Rivals and Scout. The highest-rated is 6-foot-1, 209-pound receiver Deontay McManus from Tavon Austin's alma mater of Dunbar High School in Baltimore. He's rated a four-star prospect by both Rivals and Scout and seems to be the most heavily recruited of the signees, having been offered by Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Oregon, Penn State, South Carolina and Tennessee, among others.
"Physically, I can tell you right now he's ready to play,'' Holgorsen said of McManus. "We just need to get him in here and teach him.''
The other two four-star players were listed as such only by Scout but not by Rivals. There are 6-2, 215-pound linebacker Sam Lebbie from DeMatha, outside Washington, and 6-4, 290-pound offensive lineman Tyler Orlosky of Cleveland St. Edward.
Holgorsen said there was an emphasis on finding four quality offensive linemen, but the one who probably stands the best chance to play is Mark Glowinski, a 6-5, 290-pounder and the only junior college player among the recruits.

Starwest Botanicals Flower Waters Orange Blossom -- 4 fl oz
faint fragrance
This spray has a very very fraint fragrance of orange blossom. I have used orange blossom waters in the past, and this may be the lowest quality I've ever come across when it comes to being able to smell the fragrance. I bought it for my daughter, and she has fun with it, but I will never purchase this brand again. It's mostly water.

"Most guys do not have to deal with the world of women. They're born from us, they live around us, but for the most part, we take care of our own shit. We buy our own tampons. We deal with skeevy guys who catcall us. We deal with crappier work situations. We deal with getting told we suck at things because we have a vagina, and that we need to be prettier.
Even when these guys married, they still married someone who dealt with this stuff solo. There might be stories and gripe sessions, but they tended to try to equate some part of their experience to the woman's. Sure, you're told to be beautiful, but I'm told to lift heavy things! Same, right?
Then, they had daughters.
Kids are very good at not dealing with their own shit. It's not their job. It's yours. Suddenly, you're shoved into a toy aisle where there's nary a Lego or car or building block, but instead, rows and rows of dead-eyed dolls. You realize how hard it is to find play clothes for a girl, because everything seems to be optimized for 'cute' rather than 'comfort.' You hear people compliment your daughter only on how pretty she is, and never on how smart or clever she is.
The girl goes to school, and you watch how she's never called on. You hear someone insult someone else by calling them 'a girl', and it stings. Your little girl is awesome! She's brave and smart and funny! Why would anyone use that as an insult? Then, you remember all the times you did it.
And then, you realize that, all along, you've been a part of the problem.

Conn. teen's body spray sets off school fire alarm
MIDDLETOWN, Conn. (AP) — Officials say a fire alarm that went off at a Connecticut high school was activated by a student's "overabundance" of body spray in a locker room.
Firefighters were called to Middletown High School shortly after 3 p.m. Thursday.
Officials told The Middletown Press (http://bit.ly/Kej9rY ) that the student used an excessive amount of the scented spray and created a cloud of mist right below a heat sensor, which tripped the fire alarm.
Firefighters allowed students and teachers to return to the building shortly after arriving.
Officials deemed the call a "routine accidental."

Colorado Rockies fans have disliked the Atlanta Braves since 1995, when the Braves knocked the Rockies out of their first ever postseason appearance.
Not coincidentally, 1995 was the rookie season of one Chipper Jones, longtime Rockies killer.
Larry, who just turned 40 this April, is having an alright season for himself, batting .245/.309/.449 with 3 home runs. Kind of tepid, but that's an above-average batting line, per park-adjusted OPS+. In fact, only Matt Diaz and backup catcher David Ross even have an OPS above .800, and yet the Braves starting lineup is all posting an OPS+ above 100 (indicating an above-average batting line) with the exception of SS Tyler Pastornicky.
The Braves' pitching hs been generally strong, with the exception of Jair Jurrjens, who just last season posted a 2.96 ERA over 23 starts, has been demoted to AAA. Randall Delgado's 4 starts haven't gone swimmingly, but FIP suggests that there are better days in store for Delgado.
The surprise of the staff has probably been Brandon Beachy.
Yes, Brandon Beachy.
If you didn't know, Beachy was signed as an amateur free agent in 2008, having not been selected in any round of the draft. I did not realize that fact prior to this writing. You learn new things every day, right? Right?
Beachy, who was originally signed as a relief pitcher, split time between the bullpen and the rotation throughout his career, posting a cumulative 2.54 ERA in 213 minor league innings while striking out 10 batters per nine innings to only 2.2 walks.
Currently, Beachy is beating his career 3.23 ERA by nearly 2 runs, holding an ERA in 2012 of 1.38 over 5 starts. His strikeout numbers are down this year, but so are his walks, and his HR rate is sitting at a miserly 0.3 bombs per 9 innings.
The obvious flags for upcoming regression are clearly there, such as a .227 BABIP against and a 2.7% HR/FB, and a 3.79 xFIP suggests a pretty significant crash and burn. But for now, Braves fans are enjoying Beachy's contributions to the general cause.
Arbitrary prediction: Rockies take Tim Hudson's 2nd start in 2012 to lead off the series and force a little regression onto Brandon Beachy in the finale. Mike Minor, true to Rockies opponent fashion, holds the Rockies to a 6-hit, 1 run showing.

- BMP Signaling Is Required for Controlling Somatic Stem Cell Self-Renewal in the Drosophila Ovary
BMP Signaling Is Required for Controlling Somatic Stem Cell Self-Renewal in the Drosophila Ovary
Developmental Cell, Volume 9, Issue 5, 1 November 2005, Pages 651-662
Daniel Kirilly, Eric P. Spana, Norbert Perrimon, Richard W. Padgett and Ting Xie
SummaryBMP signaling is essential for promoting self-renewal of mouse embryonic stem cells and Drosophila germline stem cells and for repressing stem cell proliferation in the mouse intestine and skin. However, it remains unknown whether BMP signaling can promote self-renewal of adult somatic stem cells. In this study, we show that BMP signaling is necessary and sufficient for promoting self-renewal and proliferation of somatic stem cells (SSCs) in the Drosophila ovary. BMP signaling is required in SSCs to directly control their maintenance and division, but is dispensable for proliferation of their differentiated progeny. Furthermore, BMP signaling is required to control SSC self-renewal, but not survival. Moreover, constitutive BMP signaling prolongs the SSC lifespan. Therefore, our study clearly demonstrates that BMP signaling directly promotes SSC self-renewal and proliferation in the Drosophila ovary. Our work further suggests that BMP signaling could promote self-renewal of adult stem cells in other systems.

Regulation of Stem Cells by Intersecting Gradients of Long-Range Niche Signals
Developmental Cell, Volume 23, Issue 4, 16 October 2012, Pages 836-848
Cynthia Vied, Amy Reilein, Natania S. Field and Daniel Kalderon
SummaryWe have used Drosophila ovarian follicle stem cells (FSCs) to study how stem cells are regulated by external signals and draw three main conclusions. First, the spatial definition of supportive niche positions for FSCs depends on gradients of Hh and JAK-STAT pathway ligands, which emanate from opposite, distant sites. FSC position may be further refined by a preference for low-level Wnt signaling. Second, hyperactivity of supportive signaling pathways can compensate for the absence of the otherwise essential adhesion molecule, DE-cadherin, suggesting a close regulatory connection between niche adhesion and niche signals. Third, FSC behavior is determined largely by summing the inputs of multiple signaling pathways of unequal potencies. Altogether, our findings indicate that a stem cell niche need not be defined by short-range signals and invariant cell contacts; rather, for FSCs, the intersection of gradients of long-range niche signals regulates the longevity, position, number, and competitive behavior of stem cells.

Stem Cell Aging Is Controlled Both Intrinsically and Extrinsically in the Drosophila Ovary
Cell Stem Cell, Volume 1, Issue 4, 11 October 2007, Pages 458-469
Lei Pan, Shuyi Chen, Changjiang Weng, Gerald Call, Dongxiao Zhu, Hong Tang, Nian Zhang and Ting Xie
SummaryIt is widely postulated that tissue aging could be, at least partially, caused by reduction of stem cell number, activity, or both. However, the mechanisms of controlling stem cell aging remain largely a mystery. Here, we use Drosophila ovarian germline stem cells (GSCs) as a model to demonstrate that age-dependent decline in the functions of stem cells and their niche contributes to overall stem cell aging. BMP signaling activity from the niche significantly decreases with age, and increasing BMP signaling can prolong GSC life span and promote their proliferation. In addition, the age-dependent E-cadherin decline in the stem cell-niche junction also contributes to stem cell aging. Finally, overexpression of SOD, an enzyme that helps eliminate free oxygen species, in either GSCs or their niche alone can prolong GSC life span and increase GSC proliferation. Therefore, this study demonstrates that stem cell aging is controlled extrinsically and intrinsically in the Drosophila ovary.

Add/View Comments (0)The Drosophila Ovarian and Testis Stem Cell Niches: Similar Somatic Stem Cells and Signals
Eva Decotto and Allan C. Spradling1, ,
Ph: (410) 246-3015; F: (410) 243-63111 Lab address: http://www.hhmi.org/research/investigators/spradling.html
- The stem cell niches at the apex of Drosophila ovaries and testes have been viewed as distinct in two major respects. While both contain germline stem cells, the testis niche also contains "cyst progenitor" stem cells, which divide to produce somatic cells that encase developing germ cells. Moreover, while both niches utilize BMP signaling, the testis niche requires a key JAK/STAT signal. We now show, by lineage marking, that the ovarian niche also contains a second type of stem cell. These "escort stem cells" morphologically resemble testis cyst progenitor cells and their daughters encase developing cysts before undergoing apoptosis at the time of follicle formation. In addition, we show that JAK/STAT signaling also plays a critical role in ovarian niche function, and acts within escort cells. These observations reveal striking similarities in the stem cell niches of male and female gonads, and suggest that they are largely governed by common mechanisms.

CARY, NC--(Marketwire - February 25, 2013) - Cornerstone Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CRTX) (the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors had appointed a special committee comprised of five independent directors (the "Special Committee") to coordinate its response to a letter from Chiesi Farmaceutici SpA ("Chiesi") received on February 18, 2013. In that letter, Chiesi, which owns approximately 60% of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock, made a proposal, subject to certain conditions, to acquire the shares of the Company's common stock that it does not already own for a cash purchase price of between $6.40 and $6.70 per share.

Michael Wacha was within an out of a no-hitter yesterday when Zimmerman hit a bouncer to shortstop, which he barely beat out. Ryan Zimmerman doesn't want the world to see joy. He's a joy killer. Every time some 14-year-old writes jk jk jk. They're not abbreviating 'just kidding,' they're really talking about Ryan Zimmerman joy killing. For a moment, I was on board with The Joy Killer because I don't need Wacha getting hyped up anymore than necessary for next year. You hear Wacha I'm talking about? You like Wacha I'm working with? Wacha you say to that? Okay, I want to stop replacing what with Wacha, but I can't. Wacha can I do?! There is gonna be an insane amount of young pitchers next year that I'll be eyeing, and Wacha is yet another one. In 64 2/3 IP this year, he had a 9+ K/9, 2.61 xFIP and a 2.64 BB/9. Yes, please, come again. I could see this 22-year-old giving you a Shelby Miller-type season next year, maybe even, dare I say it, Matt Harvey. That's Wacha I'm talking about! Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jeff Keppinger
Fantasy Razzball is the game where the goal is to manage the worst fantasy baseball team possible. You hope to find terrible players who don't get sent to the minors. As in the RCL, a team's points are multiplied by the League Competitive Index. The LCI is based on the total points of the top 8 teams per league. The overall standings can be found below. Points are credited as follows:
Hitters (AB = +2, H = -3, R = -4, HR = -6, RBI = -4, K = +2)
Pitchers (IP = -1, HR = +4, L = +8, K = -1, ER = +1.5, H+BB = +1).
You can find links to the six Fantasy Razzball leagues (along with the 64 RCLs) here.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, I was thinking how Miguel Gonzalez, who went 7 IP, 2 ER, 5 baserunners, 5 Ks, is a'ight. Has nominal value in mixed leagues against weaker teams and a solid back-end guy for AL-Only leagues, which could describe the entire O's staff. With the O's, you gotta mind your P's and Q's. Excuse me, I had Alphabet Soup for lunch and just burped. Those O's starters are okay, but I crave excitement. I'm an adrenaline junkie. Sometimes I'll blog with no pants on just for the RUSH I get. While in Starbucks. While holding my dog over my junk so I don't catch charges. I'm a responsible adrenaline junkie. So, when I heard Kevin Gausman will make his major league debut on Thursday, you can imagine how awkward it was carrying my dog over my junk without any hands, while working my cellular mobile device trying to pick up Gausman. I've gone over Gausman as recently as two weeks ago. He was my Wheeler before Wheeler. I lurve Gausman. The O's staff is iffy at best, so Gausman could definitely stick around. His numbers in the minors this year are insane. In 46 1/3 IP, he has 49 Ks and 5 walks. He could be the best called up pitcher this year. More likely, he'll have some extreme ups and downs in the AL East. I'd still grab him in all leagues just in case his ups far outnumber his downs. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yes had a very odd and underrated music career. For years they were this prog rock band that never quite broke out. Sure, people knew of them. They had an abbreviated version of their single Roundabout peak on the billboards at 13 back in 1971 and then their album Close To The Edge broke things wide open for them at #3 in the US billboard charts and #4 in the UK. The future was bright for a band that would go on and become an influence for such acts as Rush, Dream Theatre and even Tool and Mastodon. But then the following album disintegrated any good will they had with their fans. That's what happens when you put out a pompous sounding album like Tales From Topographic Oceans. Not quite as bad as Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water – thank you for going away quietly, Limp Bizkit – but it was clear that commercial success was no longer something that was gonna happen for these guys. Or was it? I give you this long and – unless you're a Yes fan – boring intro to draw parallels to James Loney and his career to date. Ok, I'm stretching things more than Dhalsim here but bear with me, we're getting to it. What we are currently witnessing in Tampa Bay could be Loney's out of nowhere hit after a promising start to his career that went flat, then down, then seemingly out. See? See what I did there? Continuity! So tease your metal hair out with some Aqua Net while we tell you why you should be an owner of a Loney start for week six of the 2013 fantasy baseball season…
Please, blog, may I have some more?We are almost through April and most fantasy baseball owners fall in two categories. There are those owners that have gotten off to a good start and feel pretty comfortable about their teams. Maybe almost too comfortable. Then there are the "OH-MY-GOD-WHAT-HAVE-I-DONE!!!!" owners. You know who you are. I feel ya. I do. Hell, I've been there. Something has gone astray. You didn't draft well or you had a minor Jerry Maguire freak-out moment and then proceeded to make a bad trade. This stuff happens to everyone, so how do you start to right the ship? There are some moves that you can make that to either stop the bleeding or to continue a fast start.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Gird your loins – we're going to be navigating positions battles in each division. Last week, I covered the NL East. Today I'm talking about the AL Central, which actually looks fairly interesting this year. At first glance, the Tigers should run away with the division. At a slightly closer glance, the Indians, Royals, and White Sox all appear to be trying to contend. Who knows? Maybe Verlander's arm will fall off after pitching over 1,000 innings across the past four seasons, while Miggy and Fielder enter a 24/7 all-you-can-eat buffet in Vegas and never return. Anyway, here's some of the position battles to keep an eye on in the AL Central:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Unlike the top 20 1st basemen for 2013 fantasy baseball, this post doesn't need to go to 42. About thirteen will do. We'll still go to 20-something, but it won't always be fun on the way. I don't remember another position any other year like this for the 2nd basemen. There are no upside picks after the top thirteen. I mean, I guess, sorta, possibly Logan Forsythe or Donovan Solano could surprise, but, more likely, they will have a few weeks here and there where they are ownable. This wouldn't matter if, say, they were catchers. You draft one and you're done. But you know some doofus in your league is going to draft an early middle infielder and then take two of the top thirteen guys. If you get two doofii in your league, you're gonna have Brian Roberts as your 2nd baseman and be like, "Yo, Grey, he could bounce back, right? Hello? Echo? Mr. Eko from Lost?" There's the position eligibility chart for 2013 fantasy baseball. All the 2013 fantasy baseball rankings are under that linkie-ma-whosie. As always, my projections and tiers are included for the low, low price of zero dollars. Anyway, here's the top 20 2nd basemen for 2013 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shin-Soo Choo makes the Reds lineup look pretty. No more will they have to search for a lead-off hitter with a solid OBP. I do feel bad for the guy in charge of explaining to Dusty why Choo's OBP should be coveted and they shouldn't mourn the loss of Stubbs. "Oh bee pees are fine and dandy…If you're a dandy. I play a man's game where hitters swing the bat like they mean it. You ever see George Foster take a walk? He would have preferred someone walk on his face. Hence… His face!" "But, Dusty, if Choo gets on base–" "I get on base by swinging!" "Choo not you." "How about 'Choo' stop confusing me?!" Hitter-wise, this is about as good a fit as I've seen from a fantasy and real baseball perspective this offseason. (Pitching-wise, I did like Greinke going to the Dodgers.) I've never been excited about Choo (no offense), but never fully against him either. Indifferent, if you're not trying to use unnecessary words, which is the least succinct way to say succinct. This slight tick up in value for Choo has me excited. It's a small sample size, but he has four homers in nine games in Great American. So, for 2013, I'll give him 67 homers? Nope, but a terrific lineup and ballpark sure won't hurt. For 2013, I'll give him the line 108/23/79/.296/20. Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2013 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?So all the exciting Winter Meetings deals are gonna come on the last day? It's like Frank and Zach from MTV's Challenge have taken over the Winter Meetings and ruined them too. Give me back Evan and Kenny and CT! In the words of T.J. Lavin, they killed it! Sorry, I didn't have any balloons set up to fall when Sean Burnett signed a deal. Maybe Greinke will finally sign somewhere today, or, dare to dream, Josh Hamilton. So far the Winter Meetings have given a run to your co-worker's PowerPoint presentations on the Yawn-o-Meter. The biggest value change for fantasy thus far would have to go to Dan Haren. A guy who's got a bad hip (or is it back?). He signed with the Nats. Solid deal for them. If Haren does nothing, whatever. They have plenty of pitching in place. If he does something, then score, or, ya know, no score vs. him. It's the equivalent to a late-round gamble in fantasy, which appropriately enough is what Haren is. If he's drafted prior to that, then people are looking at his name-value more than reality. I don't trust him at all to stay healthy. One trade to the Cubs already fell through, due to his hip (back?; I don't know — he's injured in some way.) Sure, he's only missed three starts in nine years, but presumably his health caused his fastball to bottom out at 88 MPH last year, and the hip (back, whatever) injury sounds like it's still an issue. I can almost guarantee someone will draft him before I do. I'm guessing at best he misses at least a month of the season, and at worst he gets shut down for a few months. I'll put his 2013 line at 7-6/3.95/1.27/120 in 150 innings. I'm sure there will be points during the season he is usable, and I will quote that line verbatim the day after he pitches a gem. And that's me quoting future me! Anyway, here's some more offseason moves for 2013 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?For our last Buy/Sell of the season, I'm reminded of all that the past Buys have given this year. I got introspective, y'all. I thought about how a 2-for-4 on Monday put a Buy on my radar, then by Thursday he was either back to waivers or 10 for his last 14 and I wanted him on all my teams.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

The five-part plan includes:1. Requesting Immediate Funding to Put More "Cops on the Beat" Overseeing Oil Markets: The President is calling on Congress to pass an immediate increase in funding to support at least a six-fold increase in the surveillance and enforcement staff for oil futures market trading at the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.2. Funding Critical Technology Upgrades in the Oversight and Surveillance of Energy Market Activity: The President is also requesting that Congress provide the CFTC funding for critical IT upgrades to strengthen monitoring of energy market activity.3. Substantially Increasing Civil and Criminal Penalties for Manipulation in Key Energy Markets: The proposal includes a 10-fold increase in maximum civil and criminal penalties for manipulative activity in oil futures markets. These heightened penalties will make sure that penalties reflect the seriousness of misconduct.4. Empowering the CFTC to Raise Margin Requirements in Oil Futures Markets: The president is also calling on Congress to act immediately to give the CFTC authority to direct exchanges to raise margin requirements to address increased price volatility or prevent excessive speculation or manipulation. This authority will help limit disruptions and reduce volatility in oil markets.5. Taking Immediate Steps to Expand Access to CFTC Data to Better Understand Trading Trends in Oil Markets: These executive actions will allow additional analysis of CFTC's data to look for patterns and better understand trading activity in energy markets, according to the White House.The CME Group, the world's largest operator of futures exchanges, said the actions could actually backfire. "Taking away from exchanges the ability to manage margins would make the markets less efficient, less tied to fundamentals and would create the potential to push the hedgers out of the market, which would make oil more expensive for all consumers," the company said in a statement.Speculation is not the problem, said American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers President Charles T. Drevna in a statement. "To the extent that there is any manipulation in the marketplace, the government should investigate and take corrective actions," Drevna said. "Historical data shows speculators are not the primary force impacting prices at the pump. In fact, U.S. refiners count on financial markets to hedge against potentially higher crude oil costs, which work to prevent consumer costs from increasing further."Drevna also called for increasing North American oil and natural gas production.For more information:White House Fact SheetObama Introduces Oil Speculation Task Force, 4/26/2011ATA Among Those Calling for Reform of Commodities Markets, 2/4/2010Regulators Probing Oil Futures Trading, 5/30/2008U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission website

In the settlement approved Tuesday, shareholders of Playboy Enterprises Inc. agreed to accept $5.25 million in cash in return for dropping the lawsuit. After attorney fees and expenses, they'll receive about $4 million, or 17 cents per share.
Hefner proposed the buyout in 2010, offering $5.50 a share for the roughly 30 percent of Playboy's outstanding voting shares he didn't own.
Shareholders sued, claiming the price was too low and that they weren't given enough information about the deal.
Hefner, backed by a private investment firm Rizvi Traverse, later upped the bid to $6.15 a share, an 18 percent premium over the previous day's closing price.

eBay has alot of different stuff as well.. I was thinking about ordering myself a white case from eBay here soon so I can have it when I get the phone..
I just bought a case and a screen cover on Amazon.
I'll have to pick something up soon, I'm hard on phones. I'm hoping an Otterbox or Seidio Innocase comes out pretty fast.
I thought about buying a case.http://amzn.to/gPB4Jw

Bought a case one ebay today just a cheep one until the otterbox comes out. Carbonfiber looking but it's plastic.
We've Got Technology Covered // OtterBox.com
Look here for top of the line cases.
Look here for great cases, screen protectors, and extended batteries.
Nice screen protectors.
None of these 3 have stuff for the ThunderBolt in stock yet, but should pretty soon, so keep checking back. These companies definitely make the higher-end stuff. Does anyone know of any other companies that make the high-quality more expensive cases, screen protectors, and extended batteries to add to this list?
Best Buy and Verizon are already starting to get accessories in stock, so check to see what they have too.
If you want to save money though, eBay is probably the way to go for cheap stuff (and if you want it by release day). You can get cases for $6-7 and screen protectors for a few bucks (plus shipping of course). I would stay away from the generic extended batteries though. Go with a name-brand HTC or Seidio for the spare.

NORTH COUNTRY, N.Y. -- As officers continued searching for 12-year-old Jaliek Rainwalker, the chief of the Cambridge-Greenwich Police Department held firm that no stone would be left unturned, no person overlooked.
"We're looking at anybody and everybody," Cambridge-Greenwich Police Chief George Bell said.
That includes Jaliek's adoptive parents. Jaliek's mother has agreed to a polygraph test, but the chief would not release why the boy's father hasn't. Police said he did leave a note saying goodbye before he vanished, which could mean he ran away. But the chief believes if that were so, he would have been spotted leaving town. So the investigation is largely centered in the Washington County area.
The chief said a lead, which he would not elaborate on, brought troopers and their search dogs to the woods off Rexleigh Road in the town of Salem, near the area where Jaliek and his family used to live.
"It's was an area where Jaliek used to go swimming at one point, there is a large swimming hole there," Bell explained. "It's just an area we want to thoroughly search and eliminate."
The area of the Battenkill Country Club in Middle Falls continued to confuse officers Wednesday. Dogs picked up a scent - but after days of looking, police reported nothing found.
But there is hope that more eyes and ears in some of the local wooded areas this weekend will help put investigators on the right track.
"Friday the big gaming season opens up in Southern Washington County," Bell said. "We're asking the hunters that have camps on their property, have maybe a favorite deer stand or a favorite piece of woods that they hunt, to get in and look around, if they see anything out of shape there, or something wrong, or somebody may have broken into a camp, we need to know about it."
The smallest detail could lead to answers.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Jaliek Rainwalker is asked to call 1-800-FIND-KID or any State Police barracks.
