Public Abstract:
Improved and more effective treatment strategies to alleviate the clinical symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) remain problematic. A better understanding of stem cell migration across the blood-cerebral spinal fluid (CSF)-barrier and targeted differentiation may assist clinicians and researchers in maximizing the efficacy of stem cell based therapies. Many previous studies utilizing stem cell therapy for tissue regeneration have relied on the seemingly inherent ability of stem cells to migrate and differentiate somewhat haphazardly into predetermined areas in damaged tissues. However, the random inoculation and migration of stem cells, regardless of regenerative potential, is unlikely to lead to the most efficient recruitment of stem cells and subsequent repair of critically damaged regions . Utilizing our neurotropic viral infection model which appears to induce the recruitment of peripheral stem cells, we will attempt to characterize stem cell migration across the blood-CSF-barrier and determine necessary recruitment factors upregulated during infection. Additionally, we will test the ability and advantages of utilizing an attenuated recombinant coxsackievirus as a novel viral vector for gene transfer into stem cells. The ability to insert foreign genes into stem cells may assist in proper stem cell differentiation and protection from the host immune response. Finally, we will evaluate the therapeutic use of stem cells transduced with an attenuated recombinant coxsackievirus utilizing a relapsing-remitting mouse model of MS. MS is thought to be an autoimmune disease in which the loss of myelin contributes to central nervous system (CNS) damage and clinical disease. Stem cell transplantation may be a therapeutic approach for the re-establishment of myelinated axonal fibers and proper neuronal function. The addition of foreign genes into stem cells may help protect the newly differentiated cells from suffering from the same fate as their non-functioning neighbor cells. We hope that the proposed research will assist in the development of novel reagents for optimized stem cell therapy in patients suffering from neurological diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Approximately 400,000 Americans suffer from the neurological symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). The therapeutic use of stem cells may provide the basis for improving the lives of patients suffering from MS, and a variety of other neurological diseases. However, much remains to be understood regarding productive stem cell migration and proper differentiation of oligodendrocytes in the host. Oligodendrocytes are essential cells in the central nervous system (CNS) that help to protect the axons of nerve fibers by producing a fatty tissue called myelin. In MS, myelin is lost in many region of the CNS thereby producing sclerotic lesions. Hence, the ability to promote new myelin formation in damage regions by the addition of new oligodendrocytes may be a potential therapy for the alleviated the effects of clinical disease. The project will provide new insights on how stem cells may traverse through the blood-brain-barrier and differentiate into the various cell types found within the CNS. Furthermore, we will test the ability of using a well characterized coxsackievirus that efficiently infects stem cells as a viral gene delivery system. Our hope is that the information gained from our efforts will point to new directions, whereby optimized stem cell therapy may be of great benefit to those suffering from MS, and other neurological disabilities.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: This is an application for support to follow up studies conducted by the PI showing that the picorna virus, coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3), preferentially infects proliferating neural stem cells in the neonatal CNS and recruits nestin-positive myeloid cells through the blood-cerebral spinal fluid barrier; and that CVB3 RNA persists in the CNS for months after the initial infection. The recruited cells leave the choroid plexus, migrate across the ventricles, enter the ependymal cell layer, exhibit characteristics of type B neural stem cells and serve as highly susceptible hosts for CVB3 infection. The applicant plans to use this neonatal virus infection model as means to explore chemoattractant molecules that influence the migration of bone marrow derived cells into the CNS, and to utilize a recombinant CVB3 virus as a viral vector as a means of transducing stem cells. The applicant will then utilize the virus to transduce neural stem cells which will be used to attempt to ameliorate EAE, a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Three specific aims are proposed: Aim 1 will determine cell populations and chemoattractants responsible for stem cell recruitment into the CNS following CVB3 infection. Aim 2 will evaluate an attenuated or defective recombinant rCVB3 as a viral expression vector. Aim 3 will determine the ability of CVB3-transduced stem cells to diminish disease in a mouse model of MS. STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESSES OF THE RESEARCH PLAN: This is an interesting application from a young investigator with insight into the potential importance of findings somewhat tangential to coxsackie meningitis. This work originates from the PI's studies in Whitton's lab and his interesting paper in J. Neurosci (2005), where he showed that the rCVB4 virus targets proliferating neural progenitor cells in the neonatal CNS.The PI provides preliminary data showing that CVB3 leads to the recruitment of stem cells from the periphery that join the neural stem cell population located in neurogenic regions of the developing brain. As the PI notes, the ability of bone marrow-derived cells to contribute to repair remains controversial because of issues related to whether these cells actually transdifferentiate or are involved in cell fusion. There are a number of strengths to this proposal. The Preliminary Data of the PI is of interest and involves creative experiments. The identification of the relationship between a virus infection and stem cells is of interest and provocative. The specific aims of this present proposal, however, seem somewhat disconnected. Although all three specific aims involve CVB3, they do not fit together in other ways: specific aim 1 uses CVB3 to identify chemoattractants attracting myeloid cells that become nestin+; specific aim 2 focuses on the use of CVB3 for gene delivery into SCs; specific aim 3 examines the effect of varied factors on EAE. It is a major concern that the PI states right at the beginning of the proposal that the experiments may be risky The first specific aim involves a controversial issue in SC biology. The relationship between myeloid-derived nestin+ cells and SCs remains unclear. His evidence for trandifferentiation of myeloid cells into nestin+ cells is hard to conclude from the "postage stamp" size figures in the preliminary results section. It is not entirely clear how he would use the information generated form Specific Aim 1 in therapeutic approaches. Will the chemoattractants that he finds unregulated in the neonatal mice have relevance to the recruitment of stem cells in the adult CNS? The use in specific aim 2 of CVB as a vector for gene delivery may have problems related to maintenance and stability of the foreign gene. The reviewers were uncertain why the PI chose CVB for these experiments. The proposal generally did not seem well-unified. Beyond these general critiques, detailed concerns with the experimental approach are discussed below. In specific aim 1a, the PI will identify the chemoattractants involved in SC recruitment into the CNS following CVB3 infection. The PI notes that this information will be important in facilitating SC delivery from the periphery. In order to carry out this aim, the PI will use RNase protection assays to measure levels of chemoattractants. Cytokines and type 1 Ifn response genes will be anyalyzed by Dr. Iain Campbell in Sydney, Australia. The PI also writes about using an Affy geneChip with >47,000 transcripts. It was unclear in what experiments the PI would use this chip. The upregulation of factors will be confirmed with real time RT-PCR; in addition, immunohistochemistry will be performed to determine the cell that is producing the molecule of interest. The PI will also use mouse mutant models to clarify whether independent upregulation of specific genes are key in attracting stem cells into the CNS. For example, he will determine whether nestin+ myeloid cells can be mobilized independent of CVB3 in a transgenic mouse that expresses IP10 under the GFAP promoter - and an IP10 knockout mouse will be used to determine the effect on nestin+ myeloid cells following CVB3 infection. There are a number of concerns related to the latter experiments (and ones involving other chemoattractants). Modulation of IP10 (or other immune-related factors) may have a primary effect on the CVB3 infection which has a secondary effect on many chemokines and cytokines, complicating the interpretation of the data. In addition, these kinds of experiments may not provide clearly positive information if more than one factor may be necessary for the transformation of the myeloid cells. In the second part of specific aim 1, the PI will identify the bone marrow cell populations involved in SC recruitment into the CNS following CVB3 infection. The PI will intra-hepatically inject (from adult H2K-zFP mice, which express GFP under the control of the H2K promoter element) purified populations of hematopoietic SCs, mesenchymal SCs, and bone marrow cells depleted of the latter two populations; recipient 1-day-old mice will be infected with a CVB3 that expresses RFP. Brain and liver of the recipient mice will be evaluated at days 1, 2 and 6 by fluorescence microscopy in order to quantitate nestin+ cells. In addition the PI will inject donor liver cells, a major hematopoietic organ early in life, from newborn H2K-zFP mice. Preliminary data are provided; however, there appear to be very few cells that entered within the CNS and none are infected with virus (and no nestin staining is shown). It remains unclear whether a sufficient number of injected cells will enter into the CNS, complicating the successful completion of these studies. A small number of cells will also complicate the PI's plan to derive neurospheres from the nestin+ myeloid cells. In specific aim 2, the PI will evaluate an attenuated or replication-defective CVB3 vector as a vector for gene delivery into SCs for experiments planned in specific aim 3. There are several questions and issues that arise with respect to this specific aim. The rationale for choosing CVB3 provided by the PI includes the stability of the genome and its long-term expression and persistence. However, there are reports of instability of foreign genes placed into picornaviruses, including enteroviruses as well as cardioviruses - so that part or all of inserted genes may be lost, especially during proliferation of SCs. There is limited space within the enterovirus genome, so that large inserts may foster deletion or limit infectivity. Furthermore, it is not clear how common persistence of enteroviruses is – or whether this is an advantage or disadvantage to pexrsistence. It was unclear why the PI chose CVB3 for gene delivery since there are other viruses that are frequently used as vectors. Would another virus be preferable to use, especially one that is more commonly used? In order to make the attenuated CVB3, the PI will replace the 5'UTR of the infectious clone with a 5'UTR of an attenuated CVB3. The attenuated virus needs to infect cells (e.g., NSCs in specific aim 3), but not kill the cells. Considering the propensity of CV to mutate, won't there be issues and concerns about mutations occurring in the attenuated virus potentially making it more virulent? These issues raise concerns about whether this virus would be made sufficiently attenuated in order to be an attractive vector for gene delivery into SCs that are then injected into humans. The reviewers thought that the PI should have dealt with these issues in the proposal. In a second approach, the PI will generate a replication-incompetent CVB3 vector that has replacement of P1 with a foreign gene; replication occurs following transfection of the defective genome into P1-expressing HeLa cells. This seems like a better approach to the one involving an attenuated virus, although there still may be instability issues with respect to maintenance of the inserted genes, as noted above. Also, one wonders whether there will be toxicity issues related to P1 expression in HeLa cells. Again, why choose CV since there are other replication-deficient viruses in common use? In specific aim 3, the PI will use the attenuated CVB3 or defective CVB3 vector to determine whether CVB3-transduced eGFP+ NSCs have an effect on EAE. An issue with respect to this Specific Aim was its relationship with the specific aim 1. What is the relationship between a treatment of EAE and the identification of chemokines that guide myeloid-derived nestin+ cells? In specific aim 3a, the PI will insert olig2 into the attenuated virus or defective virus vector in order to determine the effect on the number of oligodendrocytes in EAE. In specific aim 3b, the PI will test the effect on EAE of eGFP+ NSCs that are transduced by attenuated CVB3 or a defective CVB3 vector that contains transcription factors or immune evasion genes. The immune system's effect in EAE is complex and involves multiple factors. How will the PI decide which foreign genes to insert? QUALIFICATIONS AND POTENTIAL OF THE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: The applicant is ideally suited to carry out this project. His time table and enthusiasm for this project indicate five years of funding would successfully recruit a virologist into a stem cell scientist with specialized tools for stem cell fate determination. Dr. Feuer just recently assumed his present position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at San Diego State University. The PI received his PhD in 1999 from the University of Nevada and then pursued a post-doctoral fellow in J. Lindsay Whitton's lab at Scripps from 1999-2004; he was Senior Research Associate in the same lab from 2004-2007. The Whitton lab is an outstanding one with respect to training in virology and immunology. He has just been appointed an Assistant Professor at San Diego State University The PI was first or last author on ~5 refereed papers (in American J. Path., J. Virology, J. Neuroscience) since 2002; these papers have focused on coxsackievirus pathogenesis studies and are of high quality. One wonders whether the publication record is relatively modest considering the fact that he is 8 years out from his PhD. He was recently awarded an RO1 grant related to coxsackievirus latency, immune activation, and pathogenesis in the CNS. He was named a Young Investigator Award Finalist at EUROPIC 2005 – 13th Meeting of the European Study Group on the Molecular Biology of Picornaviruses. The applicant was trained principally in neurovirology, and with his finding of tropism of the CVB3 virus for neural progenitors, now wants to turn his attention to stem cells and the use that this virus might have in their infection and transduction in disease. In the first instance he targets MS, but he hopes that the results he generates may apply to neurodegenerative disorders, such as Parkinson's disease in the future. Of note is that he is already succeeded in landing an R01 working in a similar area.It is not clear whether the PI had any formal training in the SC field which may be both a plus or negative with respect to this proposal, i.e., CIRM has the opportunity to strengthen an interest in SCs in someone who has expertise in immunology and virus pathogenesis studies. There was some concern that Dr. Feuer would be somewhat isolated with respect to his scientific environment. INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT TO PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR: Dr. Feuer recently assumed his present position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at San Diego State University. He is presently in a recently renovated lab of ~1000 sq. ft. and received a start-up package of $280,000. There is a FACS facility, Microchemical Core facility, a vivarium including a BSL-2 facility, and access to a confocal microscope. Dr. Feuer holds an Adjunct Assistant Professor status at the Scripps Research Institute which gives him access to these core facilities, including a DNA array core. San Diego State University has the largest Biology Department compared to similar departments in the CSU system. SDSU recently opened up a BioScience Center whose mission is the relationship between infectious disease and cardiovascular disease. There is a tenure-track committee. It would be most advantageous for Dr. Feuer to have an interactive scientific environment, so that the PI has contact with individuals in the SC field on a frequent basis. Although SDSU appears to be a nurturing environment, one is concerned that Dr. Feuer specifies only two individuals in his proposal who have a general interest in SCs at this institution. One wonders whether Dr. Feuer may be somewhat isolated in his Department and SDSU. It is true that his prior collaborations are bound to be helpful, but it remains unclear how effective these will be. DISCUSSION: The reviewers were in agreement that the relationship between the Coxsackie virus and neural progenitor cells is intriguing. However, the significant concerns with the research proposal reduced enthusiasm for the application. Reviewers felt that the proposal was not well integrated, citing that specific Aim 2 doesn't belong in this proposal, and it is unclear how well intergrated Aim 3 is with the others. The main problem with the application is with the choice of coxsackie virus (CV). Other concerns with the application included: that the choice of markers may not be specific to neural cells, the PIs choice of language to report on findings in the EAE model suggest naivete with this aspect of the project, and eight years out the PI doesn't have any real home-run papers. A single case was made in favor of the application, that since SC migration into and out of the brain is an unknown, finding any chemoattractant would be a real step forward for the field. With respect to the level of institutional support, opinions among the reviewers differed. Comments ranged from one reviewer noting that institutional support and mentorship are not as strong in this proposal as in others, to another reviewer saying that he institutional support seemed quite high, and that SDSU is trying to put a program together. The discussion closed with the impression that the insufficient biology and research plan could not overcome the interest in the initial concept.

Dero is the most famous Southamerican Dj. He was born 40 years ago in the city of Buenos Aires, Argentina. He started his career at the age of 13 in private parties and very soon he became the DJ for a discotheque called Airport. After 2 years he was signed up as a resident in the best club in Buenos Aires called New York City leading the night life for 9 years. In this club Dero achieved a local status of superstar which enabled him to release his first record in 1992 called "Dj Dero Volumen 1". This record reached platinum status in Argentina, also in Mexico, Colombia, Uruguay, Paraguay and Chile. After his succesful incursion in the music industry he changed his Dj booth in New York City for the residence in El Cielo, the biggest club in Bs.As. which once again put him at the top level in the music business and night life in Argentina.
That same year his musical releases continued with the worldwide hit �Batucada� which allowed him to appear not only in the local sales charts, but also obtaining top tens in countries like: Germany, Spain, France, Mexico, Colombia, Portugal. He is now chosen for three consecutive years as the most influential DJ�s and a truely pioneer of electronic music in South America by Billboard. For the release of his fourth album in 1996, he played in Tokyo being the first latinamerican to reach Asia, to continue his tour in Southamerica, Europe and USA.
During the 1998 World Tour, Dero was invited to play at the famous Berlin Love Parade were he was the only South American DJ participate inthe biggest party, with more than one million people dancing on the streets. In 1999 he was invited again and has been playing till today. Ezequiel was also chosen to make the remix of the oficial anthem of Love Parade in the years 1999-2000-2003 and 2006.
In 2000 he played at MayDay Festival (Dortmund-Germany), the first time a southamerican DJ participated. Later in the year, Dero released worldwide all his productions through a joint venture with the dance label Strictly Rhythm. His new productions included the mega hits Euforia, Revolution,, The horn 2000 and Mayday 2000 all of them part of his sixth album �euforia"
In 2001 Electrosamba, which blends techno-electro beats and latin percussion elements, combined in a very unique way that makes people dance all around the globe. Includes the hit�Tuk Tak�that pushed that sound even further, being played by top Dj�s from different countries, like Pete Tong, Judge Jules, Westbam amongst others. This single entered the top 40 of Billboard .The video for this single was filmed in the island of Ibiza during his numerous presentations.
In the year 2002 Dero participated in Love Parade Mexico, for the first time in this country with 200.000 people at the Revolution monument.He also played at Mayday 2002 in which the track �Scratchin� was included in the official compilation. He particpated in �Mayday Poland� and finally once again in �Love Parade� Berlin with his remix of the official anthem �Access Peace�. He presented also his latest release called �Electrolatino 7� that includes the hit singles �Do the Tango�, �Mayday 2002�, �Rockin�, �Tuk tak� etc. Plus made more gigs around Southamerica, Europe and Usa launching his new Lp and hit tracks.
During 2003 he particpated in the Winter Music Conference in Miami, in �Ultra Festival� together with Underworld, Tiesto, Pete Tong, Paul Van Dyk etc. Then Mexico Loveparade, (150.000). He also played at Mayday Dortmund (30.000 people), together with other international DJ's and then Mayday St. Petesburg, Russia (25.000 people) were he was once again chosen to make a remix of the original track. The release of his track �Revoltuion� caused are real revolution first between DJ�s around the world and then with the public. In July �Love Parade� Berlin, making once again the remix of the official track �Love Rules�and being part of the afterhours at Tresor, together with Electric Kingdom festival.
The year 2004 started once more in Japan, playing at the famous �Womb� in Tokyo. He then went to the Winter Music Conference 2004, were he presented his new project called �Candyall Beat� produced together with the prestigious Carlinhos Brown, and more than 50 percussionists, a production claimed by the international press.
After participating for the first time in Wire 04 festival in Japan, he went to Spain were he presented himself with carlinhos Brown at Forum festival, with a live show for 400.000 people in the streets of Barcelona, one of his most memorable moments in his carrer. The new anthem of Candyall Beat called �mariacaipirinha� was born, reaching number one charts in Spain. Simultaniosly his new single �Bocarriba� was signed by the Subliminal Records, owned by DJ/Producer Erick Morillo, he made this track one of the anthem fot summer 2004 in Ibiza. By the end of the year he participates in the first Southamerican Music Conference, remebered as the night were Dero re united with the great argentine public, , participating with artists such as Marco Bailey, Ritchie hawtin, Christian Smith etc.
2005 starts at the Winter Music Conference presenting his new single �1989� with remixes by Felipe & Nicolas Bacher, Alexander Koning, Steve Angello and others, and playing at ULTRA MUSIC FESTIVAL. The track was chosen by MixMag as one of the �essential new techno tunes�, it is also releases by Subliminal Records, considered by the international press the most respetable labels worlwide. At the same time Dero starts working with new technologies during his tours, together with his team mate and producer Nicolas Guerrieri, they have a new act called �SouthAmerican Techno Live Show�
Southamerican Techno is the new album Dero will be presenting during the second half of 2005, a triple album which reflects himself as a DJ and producer which includes his new material, including his hit �Dero�s Illusion�, it incursionates in disco music with Leee John, vocalist of the legendary Imagination, giving the track his classic techno sound. It will also be released by Subliminal Records. The track will be presented in Ibiza during Subliminal Sessions, were Dero & Nicolas will be playing with Erick Morillo for the oficial release. Actually Dero has participated in Carnavales Movistar in Spain, were he played with the group Candyall Beat for more than 1.500.000 people in Madrid and 1.000.000 people in Sevilla, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao.

A tax cut for craft brewers? They'll drink to that
Blog Entry:
March 29, 2013 11:16 AM | Author: SCOTT SUTTELL
The nation's craft brewers have a loyal and growing customer base, and they hope to leverage that into something quite helpful: a tax cut from Congress.
The New York Times
that the brewers visited Washington, D.C., this week for their industry's first big conference in the nation's capital.
"They were there to engage in a local pastime that goes pint in hand with drinking: lobbying,"
The Times
notes. "As part of the conference, hundreds of small-scale brewers met with Congressional staff members to press for a tax cut that they say would make it easier for them to brew more beer and hire more workers."
The newspaper explains the tax situation for the craft beer industry this way:
Commercial beer makers pay a federal tax on every barrel of beer they produce. It is a progressive tax: small breweries, producing fewer than two million barrels a year, pay $7 on their first 60,000 barrels. For every 31-gallon barrel above 60,000, they pay $18. Only about 100 craft breweries in the United States produce more than 15,000 barrels a year. About 95% of craft breweries and brew pubs produce less than that. Bigger brewers, like Anheuser-Busch InBev, which produced 98.5 million barrels in 2011, pay $18 for every barrel.
The Small BREW Act would reduce the tax on the first 60,000 barrels to $3.50. For every barrel beyond 60,000 but before 2 million, the tax would be $16. After two million, breweries would pay the full $18 tax.
Patrick Conway, co-owner of
Great Lakes Brewing Co.
in Cleveland, tells the newspaper, "We are the victims of our own success."
The Times
reports that Mr. Conway "brought a delegation of 12 employees to Washington to network and publicize his brews with tap takeovers at local bars."
He adds, "We're always being courted by distributors. It's not our intention to sell in every state, but we are flattered."
This and that
Looking up:
In a reversal of recent trends, the United Auto Workers union says its membership rose slightly last year as the U.S. manufacturing sector continued its recovery, according to
Associated Press story.
The UAW reports it had 382,513 members in 2012, up nearly 1,800 workers — still less than 1% — from 2011.
The union "said it gained members at auto parts plants in Alabama and Kentucky and a bus factory in Oklahoma. More than 1,000 workers at a casino in Cleveland also joined the union last year," according to the AP.
Guess he's not a fan:
The Wall Street Journal
that legislatures in half the states, including Ohio, that require electric utilities to buy renewable energy are considering proposals to roll back those mandates.
"The policies have helped fuel a huge expansion of U.S. solar and wind capacity in recent years," according to the newspaper. "Now debates are arising, especially in Republican-held statehouses, about whether they increase costs for customers."
The Journal
says there is "no federal rule requiring utilities to purchase renewable energy, but mandates require it in 29 states." This year, the newspaper reports, "legislators in at least 14 of those states have introduced bills that would water down or repeal renewable-energy mandates," according to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency at North Carolina State University. (None has been signed into law so far.)
Ohio state Sen.
Bill Seitz
, a Republican who is leading a review of the state's renewable-energy mandate, goes big in talking with
The Journal
and says the policy reminds him of "Joseph Stalin's five-year plan." He noted his main interest is "in what delivers the lowest price for electricity in our state. That is what we are trying to figure out."
You're saying there's a chance:
March Madness seems to have obscured the impending start of the Major League Baseball season, so it's only appropriate that
this look
at the 2013 season sizes up teams in NCAA Tournament terms.
In other words, the Cubs and Mets are 16 seeds, the powerhouse Detroit Tigers are a No. 1 seed, etc.
Cleveland Indians
fall into the category labeled "the potential Cinderellas."
"These teams seem just bad enough to be largely overlooked but just good enough for you to think one of them could be this year's version of the 2012 A's or Orioles,"
The Wall Street Journal
says. "The Indians' starting rotation is thoroughly unimpressive, but an off-season highlighted by the signings of Nick Swisher and Michael Bourn has created some hope."

New respite home for young disabled in heart of Bradford
4:00am Monday 24th February 2014 in News
A new facility which has opened in Bradford means young people with disabilities can live closer to home.
The opening of Valley View House will also save Bradford Council "hundreds of thousands of pounds".
The respite home, in Lister Lane, Bradford, is a former school that has been fully refurbished and converted to offer care to 11 young people.
Its opening marks the end of a four-year Respite Review in the Bradford district, which has included major investment by the Council to modernise and improve respite facilities for young people with disabilities.
Coun Ralph Berry, Bradford Council's executive member for children and young people's services, said: "This project over the last four years has ensured that in Bradford and throughout the district we can now meet the needs of young people and provide excellent facilities for disabled children and their families.
"The opening of Valley View House marks a real milestone and will mean so much to our young people with complex and profound health needs."
He said the "wonderful" new facility was a good example of 'investing to save' and meant money the Council was spending on residential care, which could be far away, would be saved. "We've been paying quite considerable sums of money," he said.
Valley View House has scope for further development, including specialist education provision, and also has a pool. "This is bringing right back into the heart of Bradford, provision that was having to be sent right out of the district at considerable cost.
"I'm not saying we'll never send people to private care, we might have to in the future – we know we have these needs in Bradford," Coun Berry said.
Review work has also included the relocation of St Stephen's respite home for young people with complex health needs to a fully refurbished site at Wedgewood School in Holme Wood; refurbishing and extending Clockhouse respite home in Keighley and the refurbishment and revision of provision at Brunswick Road to a long- term home for children with disabilities.

So it turns out, I am going to be flying back from my upcoming trip to New England after all.
I just won't be flying back from the same city I fly into.
I am flying up to New York for my family reunion. That much has stayed the same. But, instead of driving all the way back to Georgia with family, I am driving back to Philadelphia, and catching a flight back to Atlanta.
At least I think I'm flying back from Philadelphia. This time, someone else is making my travel plans for me, so I'm not exactly sure what all is going on.
All I know is I am flying back on Air Tran. It is not exactly my first choice, considering I am trying to build up my Delta Skymiles, but whatever.
There's always a danger in letting someone else do all of the travel planning for you. It means you're surrendering all control of what you're going to be doing on your trip.
This is why I don't hire travel agents to make my plans for me. I'm a travel-planning control freak.
I also hate it when my travel plans are in flux. On trips I have taken lately, I have known when I was going somewhere, where I was staying, and what I will be doing, well in advance.
On this trip, all I know is I am flying up after work on June 23, for the family reunion, and that, at some point during the ensuing week, there will be a side trip to Montreal. There will also be a side trip to Quebec City, or is it Ottawa?
Heck, I might as well drop into New Brunswick and declare that I have now been to three of Canada's 13 provinces.
See what I mean. I don't know what I'm doing, and when I'm doing it, on this trip. I'm just sort of going to be there, and let everyone else just sort of point in which direction they want me to go.
If I have any hair left afterwards, it will be the miracle to end all miracles.
I guess one silver lining is that I'll be in the Montreal area at the same time that Prince William and his new wife will be there.
I've never seen royalty in person, so if I do get a chance to see them in person, even from a distance, that will be a new experience for me to boast about.
I guess this change in travel plans begs one question, though: Am I now a liar to all of my Facebook friends, whom I told I was only flying one way?
I guess, technically speaking, I was honest because it is a one-way trip to New York.
Even though I am flying back, I will not be doing so out of the same city that I flew into.
I dunno. Don't ask me. I am just going a long for the ride, at this point.

ALEXANDRIA, Ind. —
ALEXANDRIA — A man led law enforcement on a chase that began on the road about 8:20 p.m. and ended on foot.
An Alexandria police officer in the vehicle chase reported speeds of 90 mph at one point. After the suspect crashed his vehicle, Madison County Sheriff Ron Richardson said, a foot pursuit occurred in the area of 300 West and 1100 North near Alexandria.
The Sheriff's Department assisted Alexandria police.
While authorities searched with K-9s, the Madison County Emergency Management Agency was called in to assist in the shutdown of westbound traffic at 200 West and 1100 North and eastbound traffic at 300 West and 1100 North.
At 10 p.m., Richardson said the man had been arrested. His name was not released.

Overton police have confirmed they are investigating allegations that an Overton ISD teacher had an improper relationship with a student.
Police Chief Clyde Carter said right now, they do not have any physical evidence there was an improper relationship. Chief Carter said they are "investigating rumors."
Overton ISD Superintendent Alan Umholtz confirmed the teacher resigned today for "personal reasons."
Because charges have not been filed, KLTV 7 will not disclose the name of the teacher at this time.

What is testicular cancer?
Testicular cancer is an abnormal, uncontrolled growth of cells that form a tumor on one or both testes. Men have two testicles (testes, gonads) that are located in the scrotum, a pouch of loose skin found below and at the base of the penis. About the size of golf balls, the testicles are responsible for producing sperm and male hormones (mainly testosterone) that regulate reproductive organ development and the adult male maturation process.
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in males between 20 and 35 years of age. According to the American Cancer Society, about 8,500 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer in the United States each year, and about 350 men die of it. Caucasian males are at a greater risk than are those of African, Hispanic, or Asian descent, although the cause for this additional risk is not known. Other risk factors include undescended testicles (cryptorchidism), gonadal dysgenesis (abnormal development of the testes), Klinefelter syndrome (a sex chromosome disorder), and a family or personal history of testicular cancer. Those individuals who handle pesticides, leather workers, miners, oil well workers, and HIV-positive persons also appear to be at higher risk.
Germ cell tumors account for about 94% of testicular cancers. These cancers are separated into two groups, seminomas (30%) and nonseminomas (70%). Seminomas are less aggressive, tend to grow slowly, and usually do not metastasize. Nonseminomas include four types: yolk sac tumors, teratomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas. They often occur earlier in life and grow and spread more quickly than seminomas.
About 4-5% of all (and 20% of children's) testicular cancers are stromal tumors, forming in the tissues that support the testes. Since this tissue also produces hormones, these tumors may secrete estradiol, a form of the female hormone estrogen that can be responsible for gynecomastia in males.
While testicular cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer, with a cure rate in excess of 90%, most types can spread if left unchecked, invading and damaging the other testicle, and metastasizing to the lymph nodes or other body organs, such as the lungs. Early detection and treatment is crucial to a favorable outcome.

The upcoming "Pitch Perfect" is more entertaining than you might think it has any right to be. For all the potential pitfalls that a studio-driven comedy about a capella might bring with it, the Anna Kendrick-starring film is often smarter and funnier than the material might suggest, and at least going by the audience this writer saw it with, it's a big crowd pleaser. It also features a lot of music. And while the official soundtrack does a great job of representing the performances in the movie, there are still lots of songs referenced or mixed that aren't there. But we're here to help.
Below you'll find a complete list of all the songs featured and/or sung in the movie, with everything from Azealia Banks' pretty hype "212" which is featured early in the movie in a mashup to the pretty key, and central Simple Minds tune "Don't You Forget About Me." And also here are the various tunes sung by the Barden Bellas or Treblemakers, and as you might guess, it's a lot of radio hits.
"Pitch Perfect" begins rolling out on this Friday, September 28th and goes wide on October 5th. Songs below and samples on page 2.

UGH this is so frustrating has anyone found the mix Beca's working on around 8 minutes in the movie? It's when her dad bursts into her dorm saying "campus police! Hide your wine coolers."
webprowler | February 25, 2013 1:15 PM
the riff off was a ripp off too. the rebels couldn't win with their song since the lyrics go:
And I guess it's just the woman in you
That brings out the man in me
I know I can't help myself
You're all in the world to me
It feels like the first time
Feels like the very first time
It Feels like the first time
It Feels like the very first time
they sang "it" first and should have been cut off first.
Yoc | February 23, 2013 1:05 PM

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is on the Visor, which is a small overhanging wall at the top end of the Surprising Crag. The route takes the steepest line possible up the left side of the wall, connecting some obvious jugs. It starts about 10 or 15 feet from the left edge of the wall. NOTE: This is the most heavily modified piece of rock I have ever seen or could ever imagine. There is no way on earth that the jugs on this thing could have even started out as natural holds. All are completely comfortized for your dynoing pleasure. That said, it is fun, and the huge dyno is great for photo-ops. Also, the grade is probably more like a mid 5.11 (other sources call it 12b, however), but if you're short it is more difficult.
6 quickdraws (including 2 for the anchor). All bolts are brand new and totally bomber, and there are two rap bolts at the top.

A great bear of a dog, square powerful, intelligent and willing. They have a shaggy weather proof coat which is somewhat terrier like and is stripped in show dogs, they don't really shed but the grooming must be kept up for this to be an accurate description. They come in black, fawn, gray and brindle or grizzle colors. Their coat is weather proof and they are capable of living in any climate.This is a working dog , they hold almost every degree a dog can earn and some have been trained for rather unusual endeavors such as hunting and retrieving. Their original purpose in life was herding and protecting cattle and he did his work alone without a man to control him. He has also been used to turn mills, pull carts, be a guide dog for the blind, military dog, message carrier, ambulance dog, guard dog, watch dog and baby-sitter and if I've missed something the breed has certainly done it. This is an intelligent dog who learns quickly and easily and is relatively willing to please.The biggest problem people have in training them is not to bore them. They have an appearance and bearing that can make people stop and look, almost the same effect as a royal carriage passing. If they sense danger their alert serious nature is apparent to all, most intruders or attackers will choose to leave rather than argue with them. They are one of the most sensible dogs I've ever lived with, tell him it's all right and he accepts a visitor like a friend. They are calmly ready to protect you to the end, willingly giving their life for you if necessary. Very protective of their families especially children, they have been known to keep bumping toddlers away from roads or other dangers to keep them out of harms way. Surprisingly many of them make great water dogs, following boats, retrieving sticks, paddling with children.AVERAGE LITTER SIZE: 10 puppies
The dog originated in the general areas of Holland, Belgium and France, was almost decimated in WW1 and has been brought back by fanciers world wide. This breed has earned the love and respect it receives from its many devoted followers.

Partake in the ultimate challenge
Every NoFap challenge is unique. Why are you here? What are your goals? You should review the following options, make some decisions, and document them before partaking in the NoFap challenge.
The majority of Fapstonauts choose to abstain from masturbating to orgasm throughout the duration of their challenges.
No Edging
Edging is physical stimulation (masturbation) without orgasm. Most Fapstronauts do not allow it; some do. Your call.
No Porn
Most fapstronauts also choose to avoid deliberately viewing pornography.
Hard Mode
Choose your difficulty level. It is up to you whether you would like to allow yourself to engage in sexual acts with another person or not. Allowing no outlet for sexual release is dubbed "hard mode".
How long would you like to participate? A week? A month? Ninety days? A year? This is up to you. If you wish to sign up for a monthly tracking competition, find a sign up thread. If sign up threads are closed, feel free to post in the daily tracking threads with your progress anyway.
Keep Us Updated
Post in the daily update threads on NoFap, regardless of which challenge you're participating in! Create a journal thread and update it everyday for added accountability.
You're devoting yourself completely to your significant other instead of random pixilated girls on the internet who you've never met. It's about enhancing your meaningful relationship, instead of establishing five-minute relationships with virtual girls online.

Ladies and gentlemen it has come to our attention that a vaccine for swine flu will be available soon and list of those most likely to contract the virus has been compiled, so these folks should go the front of the line.
Kevin Bacon, actor and dancer, to the sixth degree; Jack Ham, former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker; Floyd "Pork Chop" Womack, Cleveland Browns offensive tackle; any former member of the Washington Redskins offensive line circa 1980s aka The Hogs; anyone closely associated with the Arkansas Razorbacks and most residents of Jim Hogg County, Texas.
Ham Radio Operators and Sarah Ferguson, formerly known as the Duchess of Pork before her Weight Watchers diet, are thought to be OK, but should be on the waiting list.
Of course all of this is hyperbole and done in jest.
Speaking of someone who likes to hog attention, Mel Kiper Jr. spoke on a few of the players and prospects taken in the NFL draft.
"You can look at the history of the draft over the last five years and a lot of guys make it," Kiper said. "A lot of free agents will beat out the fifth, sixth and seventh round picks. There is a very fine line between being a free agent and a fifth-round pick."
Of Tampa Bay taking quarterback Josh Freeman of Kansas State, Kiper said: "Josh, we know he has risk vs. reward. We know there is boom or bust with him. Coach him, let him have a chance to learn. You've got two veteran quarterbacks there to battle it out. He should sit his rookie year and not play. Watch, learn from Byron (Leftwich), learn from (Luke) McCown. Adapt to the system and by year two he can be the starting quarterback."
Bowl updates
The EagleBank Bowl in Washington, D.C., will be played on Tuesday, Dec. 29, at RFK Stadium with a 4:30 p.m. (EST) national telecast on ESPN. The game matches Army against a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. If Army is not bowl eligible, a Conference USA opponent will face the ACC invitee. The St. Petersburg Bowl will be Saturday, Dec. 19, at Tropicana Field, in prime time at 8 p.m. (EST) on ESPN. The game pits Big East vs. Conference USA opponents. The Meineke Car Care Bowl in Charlotte is set for Saturday, Dec. 26, at 4:30 p.m. (EST) on ESPN and matches teams from the Atlantic Coast and Big East at Bank of America Stadium.
Spring's the thing
With three spring games remaining, Ohio State has set the standard for attendance with 95,722 followed by Alabama with 84,000 and Nebraska at 77,670. The 111 NCAA FBS squads have drawn 1 million-plus fans for the third year in a row during their spring games. Last year's total of 1,403,527 in 112 contests, an average of 12,996, set a record for total turnout.
The Crimson Tide also have agreed to a home-and-home series with Michigan State. The first matchup is Sept. 3, 2016, at Bryant-Denny Stadium. Alabama will visit Spartan Stadium on Sept. 2, 2017.

Have ya looked at the forecast? Highs in the 20s by Friday with a 30% chance of snow on Saturday.
Ya saw that, that's why I said thurs. hi of 40 and a little windy. Thanks though.
Sack up and do it!! It's not like there is nothing else to do there but climb. I grew up there and some of my favorite hikes have been in the winter. Get at it!!!!
do it if you dont mind 17-23 mph wind
1-2 inches of rain tomorrow per weather.com. I think you can expect a lot of wet rock.
Sac up and do it sounds great!!! ya saw the rain when I looked before it was only 30 percent chance.... Much higher now..... Maby ill check NH or cape Ann just want to climb some trad and with so much at the gunks was hoping to get on something. And it's been ten or so years since my last trip there and I loved it.
You'll love it a whole lot more in March or April.
Yup just checked the weather rain all night tonight and 80 percent for tomorow shitty........ Oh well it happens.
so...you gonna sack up and climb at the gunks in the variable conditions? Sat. is gonna be 29, partly cloudy! Perfect!
two sacks...one belay
Gonna try to go for sat. We were gonna sack up and go but sliped off my truck checking a sander this morning and tweaked my neck. Shit luck
