largest American Kennel Club venue in the Southwest. Approximately 3000
dogs will compete daily in Conformation, Obedience and Agility.
- How will I know what times the breeds are being shown? Agility / Obedience events run continuously throughout each show day. About 10 days before the show our show superintendant will have specific breed's judging times posted under "shows" at www.jbradshaw.com. About a week before the show, more information will be posted on this website.
- How long will it take to watch the show? A spectator can stay as long as they want to during show hours. The show site is quite large so be prepared to walk. Bringing a portable chair, hat and water is a good idea if planning to watch the show for any length of time.
- Can children attend the show? Yes, under supervision. They must always ask the handler if it is OK to pet or touch a dog, never touching a dog on the front of the face. In addition, for safety, we do not allow strollers under any tent that dogs occupy.
- Can I enter my dog at the show? Entries can only be made through the superintendant prior to the show. For more information go to www.jbradshaw.com.
- Can I bring my dog to the show? Only dogs 6 months and over can be on the show grounds and must be on a short leash (NO flexi-leads.) If your dog is not accustomed to working in a show dog capacity, this venue will be stressful and overwhelming. There is no shade, and the aisles can be very crowded (there are 3000 dogs competing in this show each day). Remember, the dogs you are coming to watch are "at work" and should not be distracted so they can do their best job.

Pours deep black with hints of garnet at the edges, creamy tan head with incessant bubbling. Lovely to look at, can't wait to see what this beer has in store for me.
Aroma is a bit light, reminds me of cherries in a way and has a dash of earthy background to it. A few spices giggle as they lightly drift in and scatter away before you're able to identify what they are. Light and ephemeral, this isn't what I want a winter warmer to smell like. I want aromas of Christmas, of something baking, of a dessert, not feeling like I'm riding in a balloon trying to desperately find an aroma in the tan clouds. Oh, that's the head. Lovely head isn't it? Still so light and fluffy.
Once I put the beer into my mouth though, my dreams are crushed. Tastes earthy, not very spicy at all. A faint hint of spiciness at the end but it tastes like mud pie spices. You know, the glittering mica and crushed granite you'd season your mud pie with. There's a dash of hops but the taste of the whole brew doesn't work for me. Some Belgian yeasty sweetness at the end... definitely turned me off.
Mouthfeel started out well enough with a long swig of the head of the beer. Then it begins to thin out. After a couple of pulls, there's less body in this brew than a Miller Lite. And you're praying that the head can regenerate itself enough to pull you through the rest of this beer.
Drinkability was terrible. As the beer begins to heat up, you're able to taste how boozy it is. And since it doesn't offer very much for me, I gave it a burial at sea. Here's hoping that the beer somehow improves with age, otherwise I'm going to be giving someone a Holiday 5-Pack and it won't be of Heineken.
As this is the first time I've tried an Anchor OSA, I truly hope that this year's edition is just an outlier.

I always look forward to this annual brew,I waited til CHRISTmas eve to get it this year.Poured into a nonic a deep cola color with some reddish tint,a thick,frothy light mocha colored head atop that never totally settles.Vanilla was the main component in the nose,with light clove and roast as well.Flavors start out with the vanilla and clove spice,with a hint of nutmeg then the big heavily roasted malt flavors hit into the finish with some drying earthy notes as well.Again another well made OSA,the roasty/earthy finish is big,bigger than other years,to me its a robust spiced American porter basically.

A classic of the U.S. micro world and an old friend still doing quite well....Pours the expected darkest of dark amber, long lasting dark tan head, then gobs of splattered lace all over the glass. Spiced up nose, pine, nutmeg, spruce. Delicious, complex, winter sipper. More nutmeg, dark malty goodness, molasses, with a hint of dry dark chocolate. A welcome and comfortable part of the start of every winter season. This stuff likely will find its way into several thanksgiving dishes this year. (Just like last year) can remember

We tasted this beer at the December Goose Island Clybourn Beer Academy ("Friuted/Spiced Beer 2008"). For a number of us at the event it was the hit of the evening among the 14 beers we sampled.
Even in the small sample cup it showed a beautiful dark color and a magnificent creamy tan head.
The aroma was intense: spicy, caramel/chocolate, and, well, just Christmasy. There was a distinct aroma of alcohol rising off the top, so it is probably reasonably high in the stuff, as a true winter warmer should be.
Its big, toasty malt start immediately morphs to a very complex and rich spiciness. After a swallow, the spice continues to rise off the tongue. The follow is persistent, also spicy. The mouthfeel is not at all cloying, at least to this palate. It is chewy and warming.
Anchor does not tell us what spices it uses or what the abv is. So, of course, we speculated about what the spices might be. I personally tasted cinnamon and ginger. Others picked up clove. Something else is going on in there too. I know! I'll drink a lot of it for spice research purposes!
This is a wonderful brew, substantially better than last year I think - something some of us will confirm soon by tasting at least 3 years' worth of Our Special Ale.

Reviewed from notes.
My brother and I look forward to this seasonal offering every year. Poured from a 12oz bottle into a standard pint glass. Firm pour evokes 1/2 inch of very light tan frothy head. Head has good staying power and leaves a very nice lace. Very stout like in appearance, almost black with ruby edges.
Nose- Rich pine and peat notes. Smokey, hints of vanilla, and light coffee.
Palate- Chewy, coffee and chocolate notes. Some pine resin, bitter bite of hops in finish. Very smooth, although not as complex as I have come to expect.
Mouthfeel- Good, a bit dry.
Drinkabillity- Very Good

The 2008-2009 release has a pleasant aroma, with notes of nutmeg, cinnamon, light cloves, and pine.
These flavors continue into the beer, though nutmeg and pine dominate the palate, along with a sugary current reminiscent of the candied fruits that often accompany Christmas stockings: specifically banana and mango. Hops are kept to a modest level, mostly providing a stabilizing effect to keep the sugars from becoming overwhelming.
Overall, quite a delicious beer; especially considering I'm not overly fond of beers that have added "natural flavors" and "spices," as per the label.

Pours black with a off white head that stays the entire tasting. Very good lacing. The smell is of roasted chocolate, very sweet smell. The taste is sweet up front, that dies down to not much of anything, only to follow up with a roasted malt aftertaste. It seems like the middle flavor that is missing could be better if it had more of a hop bite. The roasted cocoa flavor almost makes it taste like a Coca-cola. The mouthfeel is very nice, just the right amount of carbonation. Over all this is a nice brew, but nothing great.

I've been drinking this every year since at least 2001, althought I haven't been able to review every version this brew sits as a classic in the Christmas seasonals repotoire. Pours a rustic deep mahogany brown forms a thick tan head forming a dimpled doughnut like appearance as it rises above the rim of my imperial pint glass. Chunky sporadic bands of lacing form on the sides after each sip, great looking brew from Anchor. Smells of fresh cut pine needles with a big earthy component accompanying some Christmas spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. Mild roasted malt and chocolate notes transcend on my palate with a touch of citrus, possibly orange peel in the background, this stuff is decadent. Bitterness seems to arrive from light herbal hops and waves of those same spices noted in the aroma definitely nutmeg and cinnamon maybe even a touch of anise. Excellent tea like quality, mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a soft but ample carbonation nothing bears down to heavily on my palate. Drinkability is great like a christmas tree in a bottle definitely smooth with spruce tips, spices, and warming alcohol. There's no abv listed but I suspect since it's not available in West Virginia that it must be higher than 6%, go seek some out and save some for the holidays. It will definitely pair well with festive foods from that time of year, and I've aged bottles in the past with excellent results so keep it longer if you can.

Got this from a friend.
Pours a dark brown color with dark amber highlights. Head is one-finger of tan foam that recedes into a patchy layer of bubbles on top and a thick ring around the glass. Lacing is decent.
Smells mostly of spices, with hints of vanilla thrown in there. The vanilla picks up steam as the beer warms.
Tastes very good. Spice flavors, nutmeg, brown sugar and others, quickly give way to a spicy vanilla flavor, then nothing. A bitterness manages to sneak up on me and some faint molasses comes through at the end.
Mouthfeel is good, although it's a bit on the thin side.
Drinkability is good. I finished one off pretty fast and could go for another.
Overall this is a very good beer, it reminds me of a pumpkin ale with more robust malt. If this was just a little thicker it'd be very good, but as it stands now it's just good. Still worth a shot.

(Served in a snifter)
A- This beer pours a black body with a big sticky tan head that last in the form of a big cloud that glides around the glass. This beer is dense but has a few tiny bubbles sticking to the base of the glass that are visible.
S- This beer has a smell of peaches and very faint smoke that lead to some roasted qualities but they are all well blended together. There is a nice pine needle and caramel aroma to the finish.
T- This beer starts with a tart yet bright cranberry quality that gives way to a smooth black malt flavor with some roasted almost smoky hints. The finish has a nice dry spice flavor that is light and only gives way to a soft bitter hop hint after the sip is finished.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel with a creamy texture that turns a bit watery after the head is gone. There is no alcohol heat noted.
D- This beer is a bit bigger and darker than typical for OSA and I have to say it is one of my favorites in this series. It has some mysterious flavor that blend well together so you don't get just one loud flavor but lots of soft notes. Very nice.

Deep opaque colour, small creamy beige head, lots of lacing. Spicy and fruity aroma, sweet and roasted too, yeasty. Flavour is metallic, dry bitter and roasted. Notes of dark fruit and coffee and there is some funky acidity to it's taste. Mouthfeel is average with small bubbles. the beer is very drinkable without being extraordinary in any way. Actually it is pretty bad for being anchor, my expectations were higher than this.

A-Deep dark and rich clear ruby when held to the light. Thick tan rocky head that settles with moderate lacing. This is a very, very pretty beer.
S-Cinnamon, nutmeg, clove and malt. A real holiday smell!
T-Malts and spices carry through along with a hint of chocolate, toasted cocoa, cherries and anise, with enough hops to balance it all out. Vanilla kicks in midway through the taste, imparting an almost cola-like taste, which may be the only drawback.
M-Well balanced, with carbonation on the lighter side. I expected this to be a bit more robust in the mouth, but the medium texture makes it much more drinkable.
D-Very drinkable in every way. This will be amply stocked this Holiday for my guests.... It is widely available in my area, and I think it will be well received, and consumed.

A- Dark brown ale with a deep reddish tint; creamy cake batter colored frothy head
S- Pine, clove, malt and winter spices
T- A brief bitter hop tasted that smooths out and becomes sweet. Winter spices are present with a hint of coffee, caramel, and molasses.
M- Moderate carbonation but overall a thinner beer than the appearance.
D- Nice complex winter warmer beer that is easy to drink. Anchor always brings a nice different twist to their flagship Christmas Ale. Well done!

Poured from a 12 oz. bottle into an American pint glass.
A--Deep garnet, molasses body under a puny half finger head that was cola in both color and fizz.
S--Lots of fig, lots and lots of fig, with some blackberry jam and maybe even prunes or plums. Deep mellow dark fruits and honey that doesn't come out of a plastic bear--smells like fancy dark brown clover honey, the kind you get at a farmer's market. It's weird, but this almost smells like wine, like a Merlot or a Malbec or even a less fruit-forward Cabernet Sauvignon. I don't know if that's heresy to say in a beer tasting context, but I said it anyway.
T--Fruits smooth out into rich toffee overtones that are rich and satisfying--super caramelized malt. That's all at the top of the profile. In the middle you get more of a rounded fruit that's more black cherry than fig as well as a spice that might actually be coriander. There's some zing there amid the toffee and molasses character. Then at the back on the end there's a touch of hops, just a little citrus to freshen you up for the next taste. Accomplished flavor profile.
M&D--Both are fine in my book, although this feels a bit boozy. Don't know if that's par for the course as it is brewer for winter. I'm an amateur at this style so I don't know how this year's measures up to past years, but I have no complaints for this year's model!

Darker than I expected, deep brown with ruby reflections. Solid head hanging around, nice lacing.
Not getting a whole lot from the aroma. Roasted malts, small hints of some spicing.
Taste is pretty good though. There's a decent amount of piney hops in there to give it a little bit of a bite on top of the roasted flavors. A bit of cocoa, molasses, perhaps some spices milling about in there, but nothing striking me at the moment.
It's not too shabby, but I might find another warmer more to my liking this season.

I've always liked darker spiced beers that come around during the winter months. This is one I remember liking years ago but haven't tried it since. Let give it a try...
Pours a dark brown with red highlights and ample head. Nice clarity is evident upon holding it to the light.
Aroma has a spiced fig thing going on with more than a hint of fruit cake. Not unpleasant but certainly unusual.
Flavor is heavy on the spices and dark fruits. Cherries, apples, and oranges mix with cinnamon, clove, and ginger.
Mouthfeel is not too heavy and not too carbonated. Drinkability is only hindered by the spice. That is, I wouldn't want to eat ginger snaps all night and I wouldn't want to drink this beer all night either.

Ah, the time is here. I wish I would've been aware of these years ago, but only recently did I jump on the train.
12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Dark amber with a mocha-colored head, nice carbonation shooting to the top, and some scant circular blobs of lacing kicking around the glass.
Smell: Initially almost a cherry chocolate rum cake concoction, with lots of sweet, malty, chocolate flavors, and honey and candied-fruit, along with cake a cookie dough batter. A bit of booze and some hops to give it some sourness in the nose and citrus flavor. Certainly fitting for the season.
Taste: I'm thinking in its green state the hops are coming on a bit too strong, lending a tartness, sourness, and bitterness too much to the malt flavors, which come through later in the long finish with bitter chocolate and hints of cookies and sweet dough. The wonderful aroma I was hoping would come out in the taste, but it seems to be too far in the back, with the sour cherries and citrus and mildly acrid bitterness coming up. Don't get me wrong: it adds an interesting hoppy element to a celebratory and usually maltier kind of brew, but it seems a little too strong to me. That said, I can see the hops dissipating and this sucker being fantastic a few years down the road. I'm going to try my best to save some.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with nice full carbonation overall, which means I can see it holding up in the cellar for years to come.
Drinkability: The 2004 I had about 6 months ago was wonderful, and seemed almost perfect to me. I wonder what some age will do to balance out the bitter chocolate and sour fruit flavors, which are nice now if you're into that sort of thing, but I have a feeling this could be great in a few years. Why not try it fresh and lay some down? I'll be trying to do that, but I'm not sure I'll be able to.

16oz pour into a pint glass, on tap at Fat Heads Pittsburgh
A - dark brown with a ruby outline when held up to the lights. about half an inch of bubbly, loose and soapy foam which laced all the way down. seems to have a bit of a body for the style.
S - lots of holiday spices...nutmeg, coriander, cinnamon, some sweet fruits and citrus...tiny bit of hops if you seek it out.
T - very sweet and malty at first before the spices kick in. pepper, cinnamon, and licorice are dominant near the end. a bit overly "holiday"...would benefit from some subtlety.
M - nice and creamy at first but wears a little thin...not helped by a slight over-carbonation. doesnt ruin the experience...just doesnt help it much.
D - christmas in a glass without messing around. could have benefitted from some balance or a bit less seasoning. not one of the better Anchor OSA's.

First ever Anchor Christmas for me, very excited.
A-Dark, almost black chocolate pour. Good frothy head, i feel like the head will stay forever.
S-Im battling a cold, but I smell a lot of chocolate, pine, and some holiday spice. As some have said before, its hard to describe, it just smells like Christmas.
T-Chocolate and spice. Really smooth flavor. A hint of sweetness at the back of my tounge really makes it. Not sure what the ABV is but it is def. a warmer.
M-Not really the feel I like. A little thin for me.
D-All in all, I will have a few of these. Im really happy with it.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a pint glass.
A: A deep, nearly opaque mahogany with about an inch of tan head. Held up to the light, it is a deep ruby. Head lingers a significant time.
S: Nose is mainly spices (cinnamon and clove) and stone fruit. A barely discernible bit of hops hide at the back. Certainly smells enticing.
T: This is a complex sucker. Opens with mild to moderate hops, tart fruit notes, and a bit of the spices, although much less than in the aroma. Finishes with roasted malts and a pleasant sweetness, as if scrubbing the palate for the next sip. Really a bit much in the fruit department for my taste.
M: A nice, heavy brew that is a good pair for a winter day. Carbonation is light but present.
D: This is one that really should be savored, although I've been guilty of having three on occasion.
My first year of OSA, and this was not disappointing, given the tradition associated with the brew.

Pours to a darkened crimson-brown with a fat rise of khaki suds.
It noses of gingerbread, allspice, sassafras, smoked pinecones, vanilla pod, dried leaves, and yams. It shows a touch more hoppiness than most OSAs, as such I think it is one of the more rounded and better smelling I've run across.
It flows into the mouth with a burnt cookie dough sweetness that gathers molasses, ginger, chicory, anise root, sassafras, pine bark, spruce, and clove. At this point, it is all spice (and oddly, allspice too, forgot that). Hops bring, presumably, a continuation of the pine, but the spice overlord doesn't allow for a clear seperation.
The mouthfeel is thin and reedy, with some small moments of tacky pastiness. The lack of gumption in feel makes this appear virtually maltless. Like some uncalled-for ginger ale / rootbeer hybrid.
I've griped in the past about the acrid black patent and rooty vegetal traits of previous OSAs, this has none of that. It's just too much spice, and not enough beer.
For full disclosure: I've never been a big fan. I like to try them, just to see. I thought the '07 was considerably better, for what it is worth.

UPDATE: On Wednesday Justin Werle appeared in a Spokane county courtroom to face 1st degree assault charges. Police say Werle shot Zach Bergstrom in the neck after a heated argument.
Police say Bergstrom was shot in the neck but suffered non life threatening injuries. He was treated and released from the hospital. According to court documents Bergstrom was staying at the apartment complex on 2217 West Pacific doing handyman work for the managers. Police say Bergstrom and Werle knew each other.
Officers determined the suspect and victim had been in a long-standing feud. The victim was shot during an argument in the parking lot. The suspect, later identified as 28-year-old Justin Werle, fled the scene on foot. Officers quickly responded to the area and locked down the scene.
Werle made contact with his family over a cell phone. Based on Werle's contact with his family, Police were able to determine his location and quickly arrest him in an area close to the scene of the shooting. Werle was booked into jail for 1st Assault, other charges are pending.
Werle has been arrested numerous times for weapons and assault violations.

UPDATE from @patrickerickson: Shooting suspect identified as 28 year old Justin C. Werle. He is custody and currently being interviewed by detectives.
Previous Coverage:
SPOKANE, Wash. - One person has been shot in Browne's addition and Spokane Police have an apartment complex surrounded as they search for the suspect.
It happened just before 6:00pm at the Pacific Terrace Apartments at Pacific and Hemlock. Police say the incident began as some sort of confrontation between a resident at the complex and someone laying carpet. The fight moved outside where the victim was shot in the head behind the ear. We are told he is walking and talking and his injuries are not life threatening.
The complex is surrounded right now as police think the suspect may still be inside, and he may still be armed.
KHQ has a crew on scene and we will update this story as soon as more information becomes available.

Regulation of human embryonic stem cell fate by different forms of the Polycomb transcriptional silencing machinery.

Public Abstract:
We propose to investigate the mechanisms that maintain embryonic stem cells in the undifferentiated, pluripotent state and how those mechanisms change to allow cells to initiate the first steps of embryonic development. Work in mouse embryonic stem cells suggests that genes that will be turned on during early embryonic development are primed for expression but kept silenced by a complex of regulatory proteins termed the Polycomb group machinery (PcG). We will investigate whether different forms of the PcG machinery components are expressed in human embryonic stem cells compared to differentiating early embryonic cells and whether different forms of the PcG complex bind to and silence different target genes. Our proposed work will uncover fundamental mechanisms that allow human embryonic stem cells to grow and proliferate in the undifferentiated state while maintaining their pluripotent character. These properties are critical for the ability to expand embryonic stem cell populations in order to be able to use the cells for screens for potential therapeutic treatments (if derived from disease carrying individuals). Maintenance of the pluripotent state is also critical for expanding stem cell populations for use in possible cell based transplantation therapies. In addition, our work may reveal mechanisms that help guide early embryonic cells toward particular differentiation pathways, such as neuronal or endoderm or muscle precursors, during the early stages of development. Knowledge of these mechanisms will help in the design of strategies for inducing human embryonic stem cells to initiate differentiation into specific cell types, a key step for cell based regenerative medicine.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The proposed research will lay important groundwork for the ability to grow and guide the differentiation of human embryonic stem cells. These capabilities underlie all ability to use embryonic stem cells for screens for therapies and for embryonic stem cell based regenerative medicine. The proposed experiments may uncover fundamental mechanisms that allow human embryonic stem cells to grow and proliferate in the undifferentiated state while maintaining their pluripotent character. Maintenance of the pluripotent state is critical for expanding stem cell populations for use in possible cell based transplantation therapies. These properties are also critical for the ability to expand embryonic stem cell populations in order to be able to use the cells for screens for potential therapeutic treatments. In addition, the proposed research may reveal mechanisms that help guide early embryonic cells toward particular differentiation pathways, such as neuronal or endoderm (precursor to pancreas and liver) or muscle precursors, during the early stages of development. Knowledge of these mechanisms will help in the design of strategies for inducing human embryonic stem cells to initiate differentiation into specific cell types, a key step for cell based regenerative medicine.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The goal of this proposed research is to examine whether human ESC fate and early development might be regulated by expression of different forms of the Polycomb transcriptional silencing machinery, as occurs during mouse ESC development. The first Aim will determine if Polycomb components are differentially expressed in proliferating versus differentiating human ESCs using hybridization technologies to monitor mRNAs and isoform-specific antibodies to confirm that changes occur at the protein level as well. Aim 2 will examine whether changes in the nature or subnuclear localization of Polycomb components correlates with induction of differentiation toward different germ-layer fates. Aim 3 will use ChIP-on-Chip technology to test whether changes in the subunit composition of the Polycomb silencing machinery components reflect binding to different sets of target genes consistent with the direction of cellular differentiation. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: The underlying hypothesis and the experimental plan are well-grounded in recent discoveries about the role of Polycomb proteins in early embryonic cells that must either continue replicating while maintaining pluripotency or begin developmental programs, the decision point critical to strategies to expand ES cell populations or to direct their differentiation to cell types for transplantation therapies. Polycomb components are enriched in stem cells but lowered in the progeny that begin differentiating, different forms of the Polycomb complexes are present during stem versus differentiating phases, and different Polycomb complexes can be localized to different subnuclear compartments consistent with separate functions or sets of target genes. It is important to determine whether these observations with mouse ES cells and Drosophila germ line stem cells also hold for the programmed differentiation of human ES cells and whether this is an important mechanism for controlling ES cell pluripotency. The answers can be expected to be meaningful in the long term for designing strategies to control alternate developmental fates in vivo for the production of clinically useful cells for transplantation therapies. STRENGTHS: Recent discoveries of the role of Polycomb control of mouse ES cell development and the expertise of the PI and her colleagues with the Polycomb machinery of gene silencing, the tissue-specific transcriptional regulatory machinery and the functional interaction between the two place them in a strong position to make meaningful advances in understanding the role of Polycomb in ES cell biology. This work will extend the strong precedents of mouse ES cell discoveries to human ES cells and advance the nature of the studies to the level of protein analysis of multiple Polycomp components and their differentially expressed isoforms. The collaborative assistance from co-PI's and collaborators Wong, Clarke and Baker at Stanford will bring valuable specialized expertise with ChIP-on-Chip analysis of embryonic stem cells, Polycomb antibodies, and the growth, maintenance and differentiation of new human ESC lines derived and grown in the absence of feeder cells. There can be little doubt that control mechanisms so fundamental as to be conserved from the stem cells of flies to mice will be critical for human stem cell biology as well virtually ensuring the relevance of this proposed investigation. The experimental plan is well designed to answer fundamental questions about universal mechanisms for transcriptional control of ES cell replication while maintaining pluripotency versus the induction of differentiation. The answers can be expected to help design strategies to experimentally control these alternate fates for the production of clinically useful cells for transplantation therapies. This is an excellent investigator with a great track record. The obvious importance of polycomb group proteins is considered a strength. WEAKNESSES: No tests are proposed to confirm function of Polycomb isoforms during differentiation to confirm the implications of correlative evidence obtained. No initial studies are proposed to begin intervention of Polycomb functions to manipulate human stem cells. Technical problems regarding ChIP-on-Chip experiments or potential problems obtaining suitable antibodies will likely be overcome by this excellent research group. The emphasis on the use of embryoid bodies to analyze specific changes of Polycomb proteins during differentiation may be misplaced. The alternative use of proven protocols for directed neural or endodermal differentiation of human ESCs may be more useful to derive maximal value from global analyses like ChIP-on-Chip and microarray hybridization and for long-term goals, especially if feasible for Dr. Baker's feeder-free cells. The work is all descriptive: are PcG components expressed and do they change in differentiation of hESCs? does the subcellular distribution change? are they associated with different genes? The lab seems well funde, publishes infrequently but in the best journals. Thus much of the work could be done without this funding given the experience and colllaborators mentioned on pg 8 This comes across as a laundry list of preliminary inquiries that will fall short of identifying mechanisms. DISCUSSION: Reviewer 1 stated that s/he was awed by the clarity and precision of the science, but had concerns with the relevance and innovation. Reviewer 2 concurred, saying that this is a good PI with a good lab in a well-established field of study, but the experiments are too descriptive. There was a sense that because Polycomb proteins have survived evolution they are worthy of study but that changes in their expression or localization may not be indicative of a role in differentiation. Since there are no direct tests presented to determine whether the information is applicable to stem cell biology, the proposal falls short of identifying the mechanism or significance of any results.

The Tigers weren't supposed be here, but Friday afternoon they got their shot at the state final with unbeaten Bettendorf standing in their way.Bulldogs jumped out to the quick lead. Cole Clearman hits from downtown as they'd lead 17, 14 at half, but Cedar Fall would storm out of the lockerroom at half. Kalund Brown up to twin brother Kalehl. He had 16 in the game, that was part of an 8-0 run, 22, 17 Tigers.Later in the 4th, Tigers up 2, Kalehl drives and scores 36, 32 Cedar Falls. They'd hold that until the final minute.But Kendall Jacks hits inside. Bettendorf retakes the lead with under 30 seconds left.Tigers now down 3, under 10 seconds to go. Ike Boettger fires one up for the tie, but it's short. Cedar Falls nearly pulls the upset, but they'd fall 39, 36."That first win, that was Cedar Falls' first win since '87, so I mean we still accomplished a lot this year, a lot more than we thought we would," Kalund Brown said (6 Points, 3 Assists).In the other semi, top ranked Iowa City West and number 4 Dubuque Senior.The Trojans got after things right away, on the break, Myzeah Batie-Gaddy with the hammer 13, 10 West early, but Senior responded in the second quarter, Kyle Haber scores just before half, 10 for Haber. The Rams went to the break up 23, 17.But it was all West in the second, Wyatt Lohaus gets the and 1, Trojans on a 12, 1 run,and Jeremy Morgan makes it 15, 1 hitting from deep 32, 24 West, and they wouldn't quit. Ring up three more for Morgan. He finished with 17 as the Trojans roll to the finals with a 52, 36 win."We just started making our shots. We knew we weren't playing good in the first half, and we knew something had to change. So we came out with a lot of energy, and we turned it around real quick," Jeremy Morgan said (17 Points, 4-6 3 Pointers)."That's all them, that's mental, I mean we've done all the work physically to get ready, mentally you've got to put yourself in the spot, and they did it," Iowa City West Head Coach Steve Bergman said.
Iowa City West will meet Bettendorf Saturday night for the 4A Championship.

Women's Track and Field ranked #40 in coaches poll
Feb. 12, 2008
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - The JU women's track and field team is ranked 40th in the nation by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association in week two of their rankings.
The purpose of the poll is to recognize those teams who have the best chance of making an impact at the NCAA Championships, based on their top marks so far in the season.
"This ranking is indicative that JU track and field has multiple athletes that can compete at the highest level of our sport," said JU head coach Ron Grigg. "It shows the growth and progress of the program."
Junior long jumper Natasha Harvey's NCAA provisional qualifying jump of 20-9.75" and junior triple jumper's Shaquania Lundy's NCAA provisional qualifying mark and school record jump of 42-0", gives JU a total of 21.42 points in the poll. Louisiana State currently is ranked first in the nation with 171.92 points.. The Dolphins were ranked number 30 in week one, but slipped this week due being out of action.
The Dolphins will look to move up in the rankings this week as they will be back in action on Friday as they travel to Clemson, S.C. to compete in the Tiger Invitational.

Conwy castle old suspension bridge
The World > Europe > UK > Wales
A lot of people come to visit the castle in Conwy. Not so many actually take the little path which leads to the old suspension bridge. It is one of the bridges build by Thomas Telford and it is one of the first road suspension bridges built to span the river Conwy.
The interesting thing on this bridge (and on Menai Bridge for that matter) are the huge chain links made from iron. In 1826 manufacturing steel cables hadn't been invented but they needed something flexible and strong. So they came up with these massive chains with each chain link about 2 metres long, 20cm high and 5cm wide. The longer and wider Menai Bridge, also built by Telford has even more impressive chain links which I hope to show in some other panorama.

Comment posted Lochgilphead primary pupil's internet exposure of poor school meals goes viral by Crazy She-Bat.
OK, 1 hour, 2 mins and 40 seconds into the broadcast
Crazy She-Bat also commented
- Real mature Michael. Picking on a 9 year old.
- JayC, do you know for a fact that at that particular time had other choices? Were you actually there to witness this yourself? Or are you just reading off a list of all the things that SHOULD have been available to her?
If 420 kids have all been fed before her, is there really a full choice for her to select from?
The whole thing needs a thorough, transparent investigation.
- Well that's what the Council believes…
- The level of maturity Mr McFadyen displays in his comments is depressing. He is the adult here for goodness sake and blaming a 9 year old girl. Shameful.
Perhaps Martha didn't have any other choice, if she was in the last sitting of the dinners those days, that might have been all that was left.
I'll say it again – Shameful. Shame on you Mr McFadyen.
- Can't seem to find his comments on that. Does anyone know what time he starts talking?
Recent comments by Crazy She-Bat
- PHEW. Scotland can sleep easy. Alan Reid says we can keep the pound.
Oh well, if Alan says so, it must be true!
I really don't know what all the stramash is about anyway – we already have our own Scottish money as anyone who has ever tried to pay for something in England with a Bank of Scotland note will testify.
"Aye, I got it fae a game a monopoly"
- Usain Bolt, the Times report and the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games
I really don't give a sh** if Usain Bolt said "sh**" – big deal.
Its not what I will remember when looking back at the Games in years to come. I was, admittedly, on the warpath when I was unable to get tickets and was hearing of loads of people who had tickets to 7 different events. I did almost run for the hills when the tartan puke-fest team outfits were unveiled (please let them wear something else for the closing ceremony!). The cringeworthy first sequence of the opening ceremony almost had me choking on my Tunnock's teacake, but my family and I have been glued to the tv for the last week watching as many sports as we can. My kids have been going outside to play "Commonwealth Athletes" and have made their own little exercise regime. We've cheered on Scottish athletes, supported the others, not booed the English, even got a bit choked up last night seeing Hampden rocking to the Proclaimers (I hope that was seen by billions!).
Thing is, I have rarely felt so proud to be Scottish. I really don't care about the semantics of if its Glasgow or Scotland's games – the point is they have been excellent and a great advert for our country.
I'm proud to be Scottish. Proud to be from one of the "Home Nations" – and I am still voting "Yes". I want decisions about my country made by people I've elected, not by English, Welsh & Northern Irish MPs – no offence to any of them. Sport has nothing to do with it.
Our country, our decisions.
- No nationalist politicisation of the Games?
I do agree with you in one respect Sceptic. Why have a Proclaimers song performed without the Proclaimers? Surely, we could have afforded the real thing!
- No nationalist politicisation of the Games?
I stand corrected, however, I did watch it live and don't remember seeing half of those shots. I can admit this is perhaps my error as it wasn't until the following day, a video taken from within the crowd went out on social media that looks as if there is a great deal more flags. If I can find the video again, I will post a link.
I did forget to say in my original post, maybe Newsie could investigate the reports that the MOD were asked to provide a helicopter to fly over Parkhead so Salmond could jump out James Bond style with a big saltire parachute with "Yes" on it?
- No nationalist politicisation of the Games?
Wow! Been so busy hiding in the hills from the tartan overdose I missed this article!
Maybe because I am probably one of the commenters who lives a bit nearer to Glasgow than most, I have a completely different take on this?
1. Opening ceremony – Cringetastic! Highlights were the games being opened by 2 openly gay people and a male/male kiss seen by billions around the world. Although Karen "Shotgun Nostrils" Dunbar does my head in, it was a good idea to have them open the games considering its illegal to be gay in 42 of the 53 Commonwealth Countries. I also hear Eck has the rainbow flag flying instead of the saltire for the duration of the games.
2. Red, white and blue over the Girodome. Most Weegies see a totally different symbolism in this.
3. Wheel out the oldest, wrinkliest, auld duffer you can find to prove Scots are not genetically wired to die before they are 50. No I don't mean Sir Chris Hoy's uncle, I'm talking Rod Stewart. Sounds no bad for a guy that gargles with razor blades.
If you really want a story – ask yourselves why the Scottish crowd's reaction to our team entering the stadium was not shown on the BBC? I've seen video on the dreaded Social Media of that moment and there is a sea of Saltires and Lion Rampants being waved all over the stadium. Why wasn't that shown?

Broccoli Cheddar Spread Recipe
In Graysville, Alabama, Beth Parker has contributed this rich creamy spread to family get-togethers for years. "I was able to lighten up the original recipe with out loosing any of the terrific flavor," she says.
- 4 cups chopped fresh broccoli
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 cups (16 ounces) reduced-fat sour cream
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 envelope vegetable soup mix
- Pita chips or reduced-fat crackers
- Preheat oven to 350°. Place broccoli and water in a 1-1/2-qt. microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on high 3-4 minutes or until crisp-tender; drain. In a large bowl, combine sour cream, 1/2 cup cheese and soup mix. Gently stir in broccoli.
- Transfer to an ungreased shallow 1-qt. baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes or until heated through. Serve with pita chips or crackers. Yield: 3 cups.
Editor's Note: This recipe was tested in a 1,100-watt microwave.

I made this for a party and it was a hit! Every last bit was gone. I added a 1/2 brick of cream cheese, a little onion powder, garlic powder, and some cooked bacon bits. Would have been fine without the bacon bits as well. Will definitely make this one again.

True or false? Most of your risk factors for heart disease and stroke — specifically high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, and obesity — are preventable and controllable. The answer is YES!
February is heart month and it's the perfect time to evaluate our risk for heart disease and/or stroke. Heart disease kills approximately 630,000 Americans each year and is the leading cause of death for both men and women.
Million hearts mission
Launched in September 2011, the Million Hearts initiative aims to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. By aligning existing efforts and creating new programs, it hopes to show that improving the health system can save lives by enhancing cardiovascular disease prevention tactics across the public and private sectors.
Heart disease and stroke
In an attempt to make an impact on heart disease and stroke prevention, several strategies are being targeted. This effort is led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
Those strategies include:
Easy steps for excellent results
We control our own destiny
We are lucky because we are armed with the knowledge to prevent and lower our risk of heart disease. This is an important month and an important message to follow. Know your numbers and make it a priority to align yourself with health.
Heart disease rarely uses surprise tactics to kill us. Even when we have no warnings, we have the ability to acquire all information needed to make a dramatic difference in our chance to beat heart disease. Use it for life.

Police are searching for the burglars responsible for ransacking a southwest Atlanta convenience store overnight. Investigators say they stole cash and thousands of dollars in scratch-off lottery tickets.
The burglary happened at the Jay Foodmart on Sylvan Road. Officers say the burglars cut through a security fence outside the store and then likely used a sledge hammer to bust through the outside wall to get inside. The suspects also cut wires to the outside security cameras and the internet and tore off the electric meter to the store, according to store owner Vijay Yadav.
Police say they hope surveillance video from the store will lead them to the suspects. The footage shows three men -- all with faces covered -- grab about $2,000 in cash and cigarettes.
They also grabbed several plastic displays of scratch-off lottery tickets.
After about two minutes, the men left the store through the hole they'd entered.
The store's owner said cleaning up the mess the burglars left behind won't be cheap.
"Maybe cost like $2,000 for that, so I have to pay everything for that," said Yadav.
Customers said Yadav's store is a bright spot in the neighborhood, but this is the second break-in in less than a month. Yadav says his business is becoming a waste.
"I have my family here. People are breaking this, that, so I'm just wasting time, wasting money here," Yadav said.
The store owner said that he has insurance, but after the break-ins, he's not sure how much of the damage will be covered.

Attacks Against Homeless Rising
Aug 17, 2009
There were more than 100 violent attacks against the U.S.'s homeless population in 2009, and 27 of these attacks were lethal, according to a new report. Hate, Violence, And Death on Main Street USA, 2008 from the National Coalition for the Homeless (NCH) finds that the perpetrators of these crimes tend to be men or teenage boys who punch, kick, shoot or set afire people living on the streets.
Eight percent of the recorded crimes against the homeless in 2008 were rapes or sexual assaults, and women were the victims in all those cases. The new report contains case descriptions of each attack that included sexual assault. In Hayward, California, a serial rapist was responsible for sexual assaults against five homeless women from February to October 2008.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development reports that 42 percent of the homeless population is unsheltered. They in particular are vulnerable to attacks. The report notes that because crimes committed against homeless persons often go unreported, the actual numbers of non-lethal attacks is likely much higher. Rapes and sexual assaults also tend to go unreported.
While the motive for many attacks are unclear, some attackers later said they committed the crimes out of "boredom," or for a "thrill" or "fun."
"Those experiencing homelessness are often ignored or misunderstood by society. If these brutal attacks were committed against any other religious or minority group to the same degree, there would be a national outcry and call for governmental action," said Michael Stoops, executive director of NCH. "We must respond to this dehumanization and protect homeless persons against hate crimes and violence."
Hate, Violence, And Death on Main Street USA, 2008 recommends that state legislatures add homeless persons as a "protected class" to hate crime legislation, and encourages police trainings so law enforcement officers will better understand homelessness and how to prevent hate crimes.

A bigger and hopefully more successful Misremembered could make amends for finishing second as the 7-10 favorite in the Strub Stakes when the 4-year-old son of Candy Ride runs in Saturday's Grade I, $750,000 Santa Anita Handicap presented by San Manuel Indian Bingo & Casino.
"He's feeling great," said former jockey Joe Steiner, who worked Misremembered six furlongs on Santa Anita's Pro-Ride Monday in a bullet 1:12.20. "He's a cool horse. He's really filled out and he's going from a boy to a man. I think he keeps getting better."
Misremembered was second in his last three races, the Grade II Clark Handicap, the Grade I Malibu Stakes and the Grade II Strub. Prior to that, the chestnut ridgling won the Grade II Indian Derby. He has four wins and four seconds from 10 starts, with earnings of $738,589. Victory in the Big 'Cap would make him a millionaire.
The field for the Santa Anita Handicap, which goes as race 10 on an 11-race program: Pick Six, Alex Solis, 114; St Trinians, Joel Rosario, 113; Rendezvous, Joe Talamo, 114; Neko Bay, Mike Smith, 117; Eagle Poise, Tyler Baze, 114; Loup Breton, Garrett Gomez, 117; Mast Track, David Flores, 117; Pool Play, Chantal Sutherland, 114; Marsh Side, Martin Pedroza, 117; Tiger's Rock, David Cohen, 114; Dakota Phone, Victor Espinoza, 114; Delightful Kiss, Juan Leyva, 115; Misremembered, Martin Garcia, 116; and Jeranimo, Rafael Bejarano, 116.
All fans in attendance at Santa Anita on Big 'Cap day will receive free a 75th Anniversary Wall Clock with paid admission, while supplies last. Also, there will be a $500,000 late Pick 4.
First post time is12 noon. Gates open at 10 a.m.
Garrett Gomez is reunited with Monzante for Saturday's Grade I, $250,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile on turf and the two-time Eclipse Award-winning jockey is delighted to be back on board.
"I've liked him from the first time I got on him in this country," Gomez said. "It took me a long time to get him back, and I was impressed with him the other day, because a mile isn't really his best distance, and he came with a solid run."
He was referring to an allowance race on Jan. 14, in which Monzante rallied from sixth and last to get up by a nose as the even-money favorite. Gomez has ridden the gray son of Maria's Mon twice before, finishing third in the Grade II Strub Stakes on Pro-Ride in 2008, and winning an allowance race when the gelding made his U.S. debut in November 2007.
"The Kilroe should be a good stepping-stone for him when he goes in longer races," Gomez said. "I know the Kilroe is a mile, too, but we just need pace. Some of his better races have been at longer distances, but he overcame slow fractions the other day. He's a little more handy when he's fresh."
Trained by Mike Mitchell, who also sends out 2008 Kilroe winner Ever a Friend in the race, Monzante has a 5-3-3 record from 19 starts, with earnings of $508,874.
The field for the Kilroe: Red Sun, Victor Espinoza, 111; Blue Chagall, Alex Solis, 114; Awesome Gem, David Flores; 117; Acclamation, Martin Garcia, 114; Ever a Friend, Joel Rosario, 118; Red Alert Day, Rafael Bejarano, 113; Monzante, Gomez, 115; Proviso, Mike Smith, 114; Fluke, Joe Talamo, 116; Battle of Hastings, Tyler Baze, 119; and Tuscan Evening, no rider, 116.
Blind Luck seeks her fourth Grade I victory Saturday in the $250,000 Santa Anita Oaks for 3-year-old fillies at 1 1/16 miles. The daughter of Pollard's Vision trained by Jerry Hollendorfer made her 3-year-old debut with a desperate nose victory in the Grade I Las Virgenes Stakes at one mile on Feb. 13.
Blind Luck worked five furlongs on Santa Anita's Pro-Ride Monday in 1:01 for trainer Jerry Hollendorfer. The field for the Santa Anita Oaks: Sister Dawn, Victor Espinoza; Crisp, Joel Rosario; Riviera Chic, Michael Baze; All Due Respect, Garrett Gomez; Blind Luck, Rafael Bejarano; Warren's Jitterbug, Joe Talamo; Cozi Rosie, Mike Smith; and Zilva, Jose Valdivia Jr. Each carries 122 pounds.
Zenyatta's fans will be out en masse come March 13, when the charismatic mare returns to the races at Santa Anita.
Among them will be Jerry Moss, who, along with his wife, Ann, owns the undefeated Breeders' Cup Classic winner. Following an abbreviated retirement after she became the first female to defeat males in the Classic at Oak Tree last Nov. 7, the Mosses, trainer John Shirreffs and his wife, Dottie Ingordo-Shirreffs, racing manager for the Mosses, agreed to "unretire" Zenyatta and race her again in 2010.
Start No. One will come in the Grade I, $250,000 Santa Margarita Handicap at 1 1/8 miles a week from Saturday. Beyond that, if all goes well, is the race for the ages: a meeting with 2009 Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra in the $5 million Apple Blossom Handicap at Oaklawn Park April 9.
"I'm an owner and a fan, and a fan and an owner," Moss said when asked which came first, the chicken or the egg. "We're lucky to have this horse. Right now, she's progressing really well and her presence is good for the game, because I would agree that racing needs all the help it can get."
Zenyatta worked six furlongs on Cushion Track at her Hollywood Park headquarters last Friday in 1:13.20, breezing, under regular rider Mike Smith. "She's doing very well, based on her last workout," Moss said. "I know John was very happy with it."
As for the world-class showdown with Rachel Alexandra that Oaklawn Park owner Charlie Cella has created, Moss is experienced and knowledgeable enough to take things one day at a time. "It's very exciting," he said. "We like Oaklawn. We've been there a couple of times. I think Charlie Cella's done a beautiful job promoting this race, and I hope it happens."
Bob Baffert pronounced "all systems go" for Lookin At Lucky Wednesday after the son of Smart Strike worked seven furlongs on Pro-Ride Monday in 1:25.20 under jockey Martin Garcia. Lookin At Lucky worked in company with El Martillo, who was clocked in 1:27.20.
"That work caught him right up," Baffert said. "He worked really well. He broke off six or seven (lengths) behind El Martillo, and I got him a lot faster than what they gave him. I got him in like 1:23 4/5. I'm still considering either the Rebel (Grade II, $300,000, 1 1/16 miles at Oaklawn Park on March 13) or the San Felipe (Stakes, Grade II, $150,000, 1 1/16 miles the same day at Santa Anita)."
World-famous boxing trainer Freddie Roach will be at Santa Anita this Sunday, March 7, and he will present the trophy for the afternoon's feature, the Joe Hernandez Stakes, in a winner's circle ceremony.
Roach, 49, is a former boxer who is a member of the World Boxing Hall of Fame and he has been voted Trainer of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America on four different occasions. Regarded as one of the greatest trainers of all time, Roach currently works for superstar fighter Manny (Pac Man) Pacquiao. Roach has trained 25 world champions to date, including Pacquiao, who has held seven separate weight division championships.
"We're honored to have Freddie join us," said Santa Anita President Ron Charles. "There was a great story on him in Sports Illustrated recently and he really is the go-to-guy in his business. There's a great deal of interest in Pacquiao's upcoming fight with Joshua Clottey at Cowboy Stadium in Dallas on March 13 and I think a lot of fans, both racing and boxing, will come out to see Freddie here at Santa Anita. Let's just hope he can pick horses as well as he does fighters."
A native of Dedlam, Massachusetts, Roach now resides in Los Angeles and is the owner of the Wild Card Boxing Club/Gym in L.A. First post time on Sunday is 12:30 p.m.
FINISH LINES: Mike Mitchell, trainer of the 5-year-old mare St Trinians, unbeaten in four U.S. starts and one of the choices in Saturday's Santa Anita Handicap, will be Kurt Hoover's guest on HRTV today at 1:45 p.m. No female has won ever won the Big 'Cap in 72 previous runnings . . . Mike Machowsky reports his Triple Crown hopefuls, Caracortado and Nextdoorneighbor, are doing well as they await the San Felipe Stakes on March 13 and Saturday's rescheduled Sham Stakes, respectively. "Both horses are happy," the trainer said. "This track can handle a little rain, as long as it doesn't come down all at once." . . . Jim Cassidy passed Saturday's Grade I, $250,000 Frank E. Kilroe Mile with The Usual Q.T. in favor of the $5 million Duty Free at 1 1/8 miles on turf in Dubai on March 27. "I'll train him up to that race and plan to leave on March 16," the trainer said . . . Always A Princess, second in the Oak Leaf Stakes and fifth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies, worked five furlongs on Pro-Ride Wednesday in :59.80 for Bob Baffert.

A Mishawaka car dealership won't be doing business anymore after the Indiana Secretary of State's office revoked its license. Secretary of State Connie Lawson says her office had received multiple complaints about Scott's Auto Sales.
Consumers said the dealership didn't give them a title after purchasing a vehicle. Lawson said in a written statement that "Scott's Auto Sales not only failed to deliver titles, they continuously issued fraudulent interim paper plates to customers who couldn't get a license plate at the BMV to cover up their dishonest practices. In addition, the dealership failed to pay sales taxes."
The revoking of Scott's Auto Sales' license comes after a months long investigation. In September, Lawson says the dealership shut down, with the location left abandoned with a "For Rent" sign in the window. This happened just before the Secretary of State's office was planning to do an office inspection.
Lawson says her office was able to find evidence of the violations, and get titles to the proper owners. "A major purchase such as buying a car is tough enough," said Lawson; "you shouldn't have to worry about getting the title. But if you do have an issue, don't hesitate to contact my office. My team has the tools and resources to help you track down the records and prove your vehicle is yours."

According to government statistics, more high school students are abusing prescription drugs, and that's leading to more teen overdose deaths.
Sixteen-year-old Haley Paternoster died of a heroin overdose after drug dealers staked out her upper-middle-class neighborhood in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Haley's classmates, overcome with grief, produced a music video to try to save other kids from dying. According to the Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, today's heroin is more potent than ever --and it's bargain-priced to compete with new designer drugs like "x" and spice."This heroin is so strong and it's so popular, and it's cheaper than a six pack of beer," says Mary, a parent on a mission to warn other parents about heroin dealers preying upon kids.Her own daughter Amber was getting good grades and had a bright future. Amber says she never saw herself becoming a heroin addict.
"It's an obsession. You become obsessed with getting high," she explains.But when she tried to quit, she suffered the effects of withdrawal."When I stopped doing it, I'd get really sick. I would get the chills. You can't sleep," Amber recalls. "You're sweating and cold at the same time."Could a teen you know be addicted to heroin?
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, heroin withdrawal symptoms include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting and cold flashes with goose bumps.Dr. Angela Aiello says any parent with a child addicted to heroin needs to seek medical attention for them immediately."If they are dependent on heroin, some sort of in-patient detoxification program is necessary and then a recovery program that teaches them the tools to stay clean is absolutely imperative if youwant your teen to stay away from drugs," says Dr. Aiello.Even with the best treatment, heroin addiction is hard to beat. For Amber, it's an ongoing struggle."It's like a tornado. It wiped out every aspect of my life," says Amber.But fortunately, Amber still has her life, unlike Haley Paternoster and so many other teens who have overdosed on heroin. And as Haley's friends and family want you to know -- heroin addiction can happen to anyone.

President pardons 17 felons in fourth act of clemencyThe New York Times | March 03,2013WASHINGTON President Barack Obama issued pardons on Friday to 17 convicted felons, making the first use of his clemency powers in his second term.
Their offenses were largely small-scale crimes many years ago, and 12 of the people had not been sentenced to serve time in prison.
As he has in past years, the president granted these individuals clemency because they have demonstrated genuine remorse and a strong commitment to being law-abiding, productive citizens and active members of their communities, said Matt Lehrich, a White House spokesman.
Under the Constitution, the president has clemency powers to forgive convictions as a check and balance on the criminal justice system. For a felon who is already out of prison, a pardon can mean erasing the stigma and negative consequences associated with a criminal history, like restrictions on gun ownership, certain licenses and doing business with the government.
Obama did not issue any commutations, which shorten the sentences of inmates currently in prison.
During Obamas first term, he exercised his clemency powers three times, issuing a total of 22 pardons and one commutation. He also denied 1,019 applications for a pardon and 3,793 applications for commutation. His rate of approvals was unusually low, by historical standards, based on statistics dating to 1900 on the Justice Department website.
Margaret Colgate Love, a former U.S. pardon lawyer who now represents clemency seekers, including two of the 17 people who received pardons on Friday, said she was pleased that Obama had quickly granted a number in his second term and hoped he would do so more regularly in coming years.
There are thousands of deserving ordinary Americans who have long since paid their debt to society but remain burdened by legal and social restrictions, and are seeking to put their past behind them, she said.MORE IN This Just InA veteran worker at the Vermont State Fair says she was dismissed for her association with ousted...
