WORCESTER, Mass.— University of Massachusetts Medical School Professor of Molecular Medicine Victor R. Ambros, whose discovery of microRNAs (mRNAs) opened a dramatic new world of investigation into developmental biology, will receive the 2008 Gairdner International Award, considered one of the most prestigious in science. Dr. Ambros shares the award with collaborator Gary Ruvkun, PhD, professor of genetics at Harvard Medical School, who made seminal discoveries about microRNAs and their functions. Ambros will be a keynote speaker at the awards luncheon today in Toronto, at which all six Gairdner Award winners will be honored.
"When we recruited Dr. Ambros to campus, we knew his presence would have a profound impact on our growing RNA community, and the Gairdner Award underscores that impact," said Michael F. Collins, MD, interim chancellor of UMMS. "He is an integral part of a remarkable group of RNA scientists here at UMMS who, together, are advancing our understanding of biological mechanisms and furthering the field of biomedical science."
"microRNAs play such a fundamental role in the regulation of numerous normal cellular processes. The hope is that the discovery of mircroRNAs will open the door to a deeper understanding of complex processes such as cancer, aging, inflammatory diseases and normal growth and development. With the outstanding scientific contributions of Dr. Ambros and his colleagues at UMMS, that hope becomes much more attainable," said Terence R. Flotte, MD, dean of the School of Medicine, provost and executive deputy chancellor of UMMS.
Ambros is widely regarded as a central figure in RNA biology for his work in identifying microRNAs, the very short (20-24 nucleotide-long) single-stranded RNA molecules that are understood to play a critical role in gene regulation. The first microRNA was discovered by Ambros and his lab in 1993 in a pathway controlling development in the nematode worm C. elegans, and at first seemed related only to a specific event in the worm's development, and nothing more. In 2000, Gary Ruvkun at Massachusetts General Hospital, discovered a second microRNA and reported evidence that microRNAs are evolutionarily ancient. Since then, Ambros and others have identified a wide variety of genes for diverse microRNAs in animals and plants, raising new questions about gene regulation and expression.
Nationally sponsored by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Government of Canada's agency for health research, the award recognizes "outstanding contributions by medical scientists worldwide whose work will significantly improve the quality of life." Established in 1957 by Toronto businessman James Gairdner, the Gairdner Foundation first recognized achievements in medical science in 1959. Since that time, the Gairdner Award, dubbed the "Canadian Nobel," has grown to become one of the most prestigious international awards in medical research. According to the Gairdner Foundation, 70 of the 288 prior winners have gone on to win a Nobel Prize.
Ambros' UMMS colleague Craig C. Mello, PhD, who is the Blais University Chair in Molecular Medicine and a Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, received the Gairdner in 2005 for his work in the discovery of RNA interference with Andrew Z. Fire, PhD, of Stanford University School of Medicine. Mello and Fire later received the 2006 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the same work.
Also this week, at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, Ambros and Ruvkun will receive the Benjamin Franklin Medal in Life Sciences for their discovery. Also recognized with them will be David C. Baulcombe, PhD, of The Sainsbury Laboratory, John Innes Centre in Norwich, England. The three will join six other individuals being honored with Benjamin Franklin Medals. The Franklin Institute Awards, considered by many to be a precursor to the Nobel Prize, are awarded for outstanding achievements that have directly and positively impacted and enhanced the quality of human life and deepened our understanding of the universe.
The Franklin Institute Awards Program dates back to 1824, when the Institute was established to train artisans and mechanics in the fundamentals of engineering and science. Past laureates have included Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Marie Curie, Stephen Hawking, Francis Crick, Jacques Cousteau, Gordon Moore and Jane Goodall. 108 Franklin laureates have won 110 Nobel prizes (two recipients accepted the Nobel Prize twice) and over 50 were recognized by The Franklin Institute prior to Nobel, often decades before, for the same work. Spanning three centuries, this program is among the most widely known and effective awards programs in existence.

The Gairdner Luncheon will be held at the Sutton Place Hotel in Toronto from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15. The Gairdner Foundation will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2009 with a series of major international symposia.

Legislators are expected to debate a law that would allow college students in Georgia to carry guns on campus. A bill narrowly missed passage last year. House Bill 29 fell apart last year after all 18 members of the Board of Regents signed a letter opposing it. However this year, the gun bill could pass. Rep. Emory Dunahoo is a proponent for the bill. He believes Georgia college students are unprotected and vulnerable without firearms. He says female students walking between buildings at Georgia State University tell him they are concerned. In addition to strong opposition from the Board of Regents, legislators say a wide open campus carry law is not a sure thing. Gov. Nathan deal remains non-committal on the issue. He favors allowing individual schools to decide whether to opt into the bill or not.

Fuji SST 2.1 C Road Bike - 2013The 2013 Fuji SST 2.1 C is meant to impress. Originally designed for the Pro circuit criteriums, the SST series takes an all-business approach to road riding, where the priority order of things to accomplish during a ride are results, results, and more results. Sure, with an amazing C5 carbon hi-mod frame and Shimano Ultegra components, you could just sit up and enjoy a nice day in the saddle, but when you sit down behind the wheel of a Porsche sports car, don't you want to rev the engine? Just a little?
Lightweight high-performance and durability are a balancing act. Move too much in either direction and you'll compromise the ride quality. However, when Fuji selected their proprietary C5 high modulus carbon for the SST, they killed those two birds with one stone. The frame is manufactured with a bladder-style mold, which allows Fuji to use their premium and lightweight carbon material to maximize the SST's strength to weight ratio. Fuji utilizes a tapered head tube to improve both the front-end handling and stiffness during all-out accelerations; the less flex, the better. A Press-Fit Shimano BB86 houses the crankset bearings inside the frame to reduce weight, compared to a standard external bearing crankset, while the larger bottom bracket surface area created allows for an oversized down tube and chain stays for even more lateral stiffness. The SST is mounted with an FC-440 carbon fork to further reduce road vibration and tapered for confident handling.
The Fuji SST 2.1 C drivetrain is outfitted with Shimano Ultegra components. Shimano Ultegra features flawless function and lightweight performance. That's why Fuji selected Ultegra and a Rotor 3DF Compact crankset to provide the efficiency that you require for hills and descents alike. The Ultegra 6700 shifter levers are angled outward, which gives a head start on the arc of the shift with optimized hand placement, increasing comfort and efficiency. Ergonomics are further enhanced by a re-profiled perch that reduces overall reach and girth. The wide-link Ultegra rear derailleur's main body was produced with rigid pivots, which creates the foundation for precise shifts. The body and cage design accommodates up to a 28 tooth large cog so any mountain can be attacked with confidence. The SST comes with a more middle-ground 11/28 cassette, so you get the best of both worlds.
Oval Concepts provide the majority of the static component package. Oval 310 and 713 series handlebar and stem are oversized for improved handling and maximum stiffness during acceleration on the drops. The material is leaned out for lighter weight without compromising durability. An improved and lighter Oval carbon aero seatpost is easy to adjust fore and aft to ensure proper pedaling position.
Finally, Shimano Ultegra dual pivot brakes brake upon low spoke count Oval W535 wheels with Hutchinson Equinox II tires. The Equinox II is designed to provide excellent durability and it's a versatile tire for training, touring and commuting. A dual compound surface provides great grip in all conditions.

Every now and then I like to do a little hand stitching, do you? These miniature (3″) embroidery hoops are the perfect size for a quick project that you can start and finish in less than 2 hours.
I used the mustache stamps from What a Gentleman Clear Stamp Set which I stamped onto a piece of dotted fabric and then put it tightly inside the hoop.I filled the mustaches in with a satin stitch and black embroidery floss. I added extra detail (which was a chance to practice a few other embroidery stitches) around the edge of the design. To finish, I covered the back of the hoop with a felt circle. You'll be pleased to know that I'm refraining from using any mustache-related puns in this post!

Discover: Bank Stock Winner
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Discover Financial Services (DFS) was the winner among major U.S. banks on Monday, with shares rising 1.4% to close at $51.71.
The broad indices ended mixed as investors looked ahead to the two-day meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee, which begins Tuesday. The FOMC will release its statement on Federal Reserve policy Wednesday afternoon. Following the previous FOMC meeting in September, the committee surprised many economists and investors by deciding to make no change in the central bank's "QE3" stimulus policy, which includes net month purchases of $85 billion in long-term bonds.
The bond purchases have continued since last September. Following the partial shutdown of the federal government during the first half of October and in light of conflicting economic reports, most economists now expect the Fed to wait until 2014 to begin tapering bond the bond purchases that are meant to hold-down long-term interest rates.
Last week the Department of Labor said that the U.S. unemployment rate improved slightly to 7.2% in September from 7.3% in August. "[T]he ongoing decline in the unemployment rate against the backdrop of moderate 2% real GDP growth is consistent with our longstanding view that potential real GDP growth has meaningfully downshifted," Deutsche Bank's equity research team wrote in a client note Monday, underscoring the likelihood of the FOMC standing pat again.One disappointing economic report on Monday added to the likelihood of the Fed making no change this month. The National Association of Realtors said its pending home sales index fell by 5.6% in September to a reading of 101.6, from a downwardly revised 107.6 the previous month. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters on average expected the index to decline by 2% in September. The index was also down 1.2% from a year earlier. Also on Monday, The Federal Reserve reported that U.S. industrial production rose by 0.6% during September, followed by an increase of 0.4% in August. The figure for September came in above the consensus forecast of another 0.4% increase. The main piece of banking industry news was the announcement by the Federal Housing Finance Agency late on Friday of $5.1 billion in settlements between JPMorgan Chase, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The FHFA, which regulates the two government sponsored enterprises had sued JPMorgan over losses on private label mortgage-backed securities purchased from the bank, as well as Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual.

Gabrielle Union Stars In New Miu Miu Short Film
Get ready to swoon over the designs of Miu Miu in this new short film, starring Gabrielle Union.
As the first black woman to win Best Director at the Sundance Film Festival for her second feature "Middle of Nowhere", Ava DuVernay has become the new 'it' girl of film. Now, she's joined forces with Italian fashion house Miu Miu for the fifth installment of their 'The Women's Tales' series. The beautiful ten-minute short has no dialogue and stars Gabrielle Union as a character dealing with the depression of her failed marriage. Throughout the film, each of her friends, played by, Alfre Woodard, Adepero Oduye, Emayatzy, and singer Goapele, show up at her door and attempt to cheer her up with dinner, dancing, or a concert.
The film, of course, highlights the fashions of Miu Miu, and as it goes on, there is a renewal in Gabby's character as she begins to get herself together. Her fashion style also changes as she feels more empowered as a woman. According to Ava,
"In the film, characters arrive at the door of a friend in need, bringing something of themselves. Eventually, we witness our heroine ready to walk through the door on her own. The door in the film represents a pathway to who we are."

The Mexican immigration activist who sought refuge from deportation in a Chicago church is back in the city.
After eight years, Elvira Arellano has returned to Chicago to protest the separation of families through deportation.
The immigration activist made national headlines in 2006, when she sought refuge inside of a Humboldt Park church for a year.
Arellano was deported in 2007, after she was convicted of social security fraud while living in the United States undocumented.
Arellano and her family were among more than 100 people who crossed the border from Mexico into San Diego seeking asylum.
She is on parole now, living in Adalberto United Methodist Church and awaiting a court appearance by September. But this time, she's not confined to the church.
Arellano was released from U.S. custody Thursday as she sought to seek permission to enter the country without legal documents. The Rev. Walter Coleman said Sunday that Arellano is taking stock before an April hearing when she'll make her case before an immigration judge.
Arellano is with her sons Saulito and Emiliano, a U.S. citizen teenager and a Mexico-born baby, respectively.
They are protesting what they call failed immigration policies here in the U.S. Arellano wants President Barack Obama to extend deferments he gave to DREAM Act children and parents of U.S. citizen children.
"We're fighting for their freedom," Arellano said in Spanish, "so they can return home immediately."
Many of the families Arellano fights for are undocumented parents who have U.S. born children. When their parents are deported, the families are often torn apart.
Arellano wants to be able to live here with both of her sons - something opponents say shouldn't be possible.
They did not climb over a fence, they didn't go through a tunnel, they didn't go through the mountains or run from the 'migra,' none of that," Pastor Emma Lozano told FOX 32 News. "They went straight with their heads held high with their children at their sides to confront a broken law that was promised to them and they've all been victims to the destruction of that law."
FOX 32 attempted to reach out to the Chicago Minutemen for comment on this story. They were not available.
Arellano said come September, if a judge decides to send her back to Mexico, she won't fight it.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

- Rich Hammond of the LA Kings Insider: When Kings forward Jeff Carter will be able to return is still not known. According to GM Dean Lombardi, Carter's ankle is going to be sore for a while. Ideally the Kings would like to keep Carter off the ice until the playoffs start, but they are still no guaranteed a spot.
- Jason Mastrodonato of the Boston Herald: Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk had to be helped off the ice as he appeared to injury his left knee. He was seen limping around after the game, but was at least walking on his own. More will be known today.
- Adrian Dater of the Denver Post: Avalanche forward David Jones doesn't know if he'll be back with the team next season. Jones will be a UFA, and despite wanting to sign an extension by now, the Avs rarely do contracts in-season.
"It's unfortunate they don't do any of their signings during a season," Jones said Tuesday, the Avs' fourth consecutive day without a game. "Which is fine, and just something you have to adjust to. But you can't really think about that too much right now. We still have games to play and have a hope we can make the playoffs."
Jones currently makes $2.5 million and could get a deal in the $ to $4 million range. Jay McClement will also be a UFA and would like to return but added "it's out of my hands."
- Kirk Penton of the Winnipeg Sun: Despite not being close to 100%, Jets defenseman Dustin Byfuglien will play out the season. Ondrej Pavelec and Evander Kane are both RFAs at the end of the year. "Not really. I'm just focusing on finishing the season strong," the goaltender said. "There's going to be a lot of time to think about it."
- Mark Everson of the NY Post: Devils forward Jacob Josefson broke his wrist last night and will be out 4 to 6 weeks.
- Arthur Staple via twitter: The Islanders have signed 2010 1st round pick Brock Nelson to an entry level deal.
- Shawn Mitchell via twitter: Blue Jackets winger Rick Nash doesn't know if he'll play for Team Canada at the World Championships due to his "bumps and bruises."
- Eric Stephens via twitter: There is nothing new on Ducks Justin Schultz's situation, and sources are saying there won't be any decision for awhile. Schultz plans to remain in school to finish the year.
- Jeff Miller of the OC Register: The Ducks competitiveness for next season will play a part in whether Teemu Selanne will return for another season.
"The good thing is the Ducks don't have to do much (in the offseason)," Selanne insisted despite the team missing the playoffs. "That's always very important to me. I'm going to see (general manager) Bob (Murray) after the season to get his view about this team and the future."
If Selanne is going to retire, he said he will let the team know by July 1st.
- Derek Van Diest of the Edmonton Sun: The Oilers have 10 pending free agents, 7 are restricted. It's unlikely that Linus Omark will be back next year. Since he's a RFA, they will likely have to qualify him before trying to trade him. If the Oilers draft Mikahil Grigorenko and bring in Anton Lander, they may look to trade Eric Belanger and his $2 million salary. The Oils will have to make a decision on Darcy Hordichuk. Ryan Smyth situation remain in question. Goalie Devan Dubnyk is one of their RFAs.
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN (mailbag): The Wild need to find some offense going forward. The Wild will go after Zach Parise if he hits the open market, but will be joined by the Red Wings, Rangers and others. The Flames aren't interested in a "Edmonton-style rebuild," but there will be changes. LeBrun thinks the Flames need to sit down with Jarome Iginla and Miikka Kiprusoff and have "The Chat." LeBrun doesn't think Dion Phaneuf is not captain material and their top 6 forwards are too small. They need a #1 goalie, #1 center and some spare parts. Ducks GM Bob Murray has some big offseason decisions to make regarding his core group. LeBrun doesn't think they should trade Ryan Getzlaf as they'd spend the next decade trying to replace him.
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Mike Milbury's comments about Sidney Crosby:"Little goody two-shoes [Crosby] goes into the corner and gives a shot to [Brayden] Schenn," Milbury said. "Schenn was late to the party, he should have turned around and drilled him right away, but I guess better late than never. So you know, Crosby gets cross-checked, big whoop. He said after he came back from his 35th concussion, 'I'm not going to do this anymore, I'm not going to get into these scrums, I'm going to stay away from that stuff.' He couldn't help himself because there's a little punk in Crosby. He's not the perfect gentleman. He's not the sweet kid you see in interviews with his hat pulled down over his eyes. I'd say screw him, hit him."

TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — A northwestern Ohio man says he's relieved he can stop living under a shadow of doubt in his girlfriend's murder 30 years ago.
Harold Estep of Whitehouse has been questioned repeatedly over the years by investigators in the November 1983 killing of Janean Brown, whose body was found in a ditch the day after she and Estep had a date; she had been bludgeoned and nearly decapitated.
While Brown's family said they always believed Estep had no part in her death, Estep told The Toledo Blade that he's been carrying a heavy weight for 30 years.
"That's a tough thing to carry all these years," Estep said. "Somebody died that didn't need to die. It was senseless."
Estep said he feels as if a veil of suspicion over his involvement lifted when another man was indicted earlier this month on murder charges in Brown's killing.
Andrew Gustafson, 56, who had been a suspect at the time of the killing, is set to enter a plea to the charges in court this week. It's unclear if he yet has an attorney.
The arrest and indictment "hit me right in the face," Estep said.
"We couldn't wait for it to come to an end," said Joyce Graber, Estep's partner of eight years. When he got the news "he was a basket case. It was like it was 30 years ago and someone had just told him that she had passed away."
Estep's sister, Debbie Gingrich, said the whole family feels relieved.
"My mom and dad were alive then and they looked right at him — we all did — and said if he did it he needs to come clean," Gingrich recalled, adding that they didn't doubt him when he said he had nothing to do with it.
Michael Grosjean, Brown's brother, said he remembers seeing Estep at his grandparents' house just after his sister's death. His grandparents, Edward and Marjorie Brown, had adopted and raised Brown from birth.
"I remember him coming over to my grandpa's house after Janean was found," Grosjean said. "I remember him just sobbing the whole time he was there. I don't think anyone in the family ever thought he was a suspect."
Rob Miller, chief of the special units division of the Lucas County Prosecutor's Office, said that Estep always has been cooperative with investigators, including providing a DNA sample and speaking at length with cold-case investigators, and have ruled him out as a suspect.
Miller said "a fresh set of eyes and science" led to Gustafson's arrest, declining to elaborate.
Back in 1983, investigators had searched Gustafson's van, which matched the description of one that Brown was reportedly seen getting into in the early morning hours after she left a bar where she had been having a drink with Estep before the couple got into a spat.
Police also searched Gustafson's home at the time, which was on property next to where her body was found.
When Gustafson, of Birch Run, Mich., made his first appearance in Lucas County Common Pleas Court a week ago, Estep was there. When Gustafson returns to court Wednesday for arraignment, Estep said he will be there again.
"I won't miss a day of it," Estep said. "I've had this for 30 years."

Why Miniature Lamps Do Not Mean Miniature Benefits
Miniature lamps have become a very popular addition to homes when looking for style and a new concept to the existing lighting in the home. The correct lighting throughout the home is essential and will provide both function and style to every different area. Due to advances in technology the different lighting options are available in smaller unique designs.
When considering what lighting to have in your home you will need to decide several different factors. Including where to have the miniature lamps positioned, what their function is and how easy it is to find the miniature bulbs to fit. Although there are more shops and manufacturers of the miniature lamps, you have to consider the accessories for them.
If the miniature lamps are to be used as a functional purpose as well as a stylish accessory, you will need to consider the wattage of the bulbs. Although smaller lamps take up far less space, there is no need to compromise on quality. You can find some very affordable, stylish options in unique sizes to guarantee that you have a lamp for your room.
Choosing the right miniature bulbs is essential to complete the whole look and feel in the room. Although they are smaller, they can still provide enough light for you to work, read, or relax within the room. When you combine the correct bulb with the ideal miniature lamps and surrounding decor, you will create the perfect ambience. At one time, big was always seen as beautiful, however, small is becoming the better feature to have.
Finding the ideal place to position the miniature lamps is essential to ensure that it can be used easily and provide the adequate lighting for your needs. If the lighting in your home is positioned correctly, it can make the whole room look and feel very different. The color that you choose for the miniature lamps will also make a difference to the light that is produced and feeling that is created. Every element of the lighting in your home plays a part in the overall ambience that is created.
If you have space issues or are looking for lamps that are ideal for night reading alternatives, the miniature lamps are perfect. This style of lamp takes up very little space and is incredibly lightweight making them ideal to move around the house if needed. Although there are some great, affordable options for you to choose, if you want to spend more there are very stylish miniature lamps to choose.
No matter what your budget and style is there are plenty of different options of both the lamps and miniature bulbs to choose. You will be able to create the ideal atmosphere for very little money, ensuring that every room in your house looks and feels great.

Unibet players from the United Kingdom, The Netherlands, Norway, Finland and Belgium have been offered a free €10 cash ticket that is free to withdraw and spend as they like once they have completed the play through requirements.
This cash game ticket becomes active when you log into the new Unibet Poker software and remains valid for a maximum of 60 days after activation. However, the ticket expires after 7 days of inactivity so make sure you don't leave too long between your sessions!
The value of the cash game ticket and the winnings made by wagering the ticket will be released into your real-money account once you have met the requirements set by Unibet. What are those requirements? Simply see 1,000 flops on NL4 (blinds of €0.02/€0.04) cash game tables, and the free money is yours to do with as you please!
How much do you think you can turn your free €10 into? We'd love to hear about your exploits!
On Wednesday, February 19, Unibet launched its own independent poker room that focuses on recreational players and creating a fun environment for its customers.
The new Unibet lobby design is uncluttered and navigating around it is an extremely simple task, one that allows you to find a cash game or tournament of your choice and be sat at it and playing in a matter of seconds.
The poker purists out there will be delighted to discover that no hand histories are stored at the new Unibet, and Heads-Up Displays (HUDs) are banned!
Also, there is no table selection as such; the software randomly seats you at a stake level of your choosing, which removes any instances of "bum-hunting."
At launch, the new Unibet is only available as a Windows download, but there are plans to launch native iOS, Android and Mac versions within the first quarter of 2014.

Unibet currently offers No Limit Texas Hold'em and Pot Limit Omaha cash games with blinds starting as low as €0.02/€0.04 and increasing all the way up to €2/€4.
Sit & Go tournaments are available in five-seat and two-seat guise, with buy-ins starting at €1 and gradually increasing to €100
Those of you who prefer multi-table tournaments will be delighted to know that Unibet has an extensive range of tournaments taking place daily, many of which being freerolls and costing nothing to enter. Buy-ins range from €1 up to €50, although higher buy-in tournaments are in the pipeline.
Unibet Poker operates a "no flop, no drop" rake policy meaning no pots are raked if the hand is completed preflop. Every hand that reaches the flop is raked at least €0.01 with the schedule for rake at No Limit Hold'em cash game tables shown in the table below:
Unibet created its software in-house with recreational players in mind and it shows with its cartoon-like graphics and simple navigation tools. That said, everything that you would expect from an online poker room is here for you to enjoy and you can enjoy playing at Unibet safe on the knowledge that third party software is banned, particularly heads-up displays (HUDs).

The Nevada forum is dead! Let's hear some stories/pics of some summer retreats. Except for the hardcore locals, i'd expect many going on trips to the Sierras, etc. July/August is going to be brutal out here. Just got back from Whitney. Did the east face w/ the guy that taught me how to climb. Got altitude sickness like always. Love that pulsating headache. LOL. Here's my buddy topping out. This is the healthiest marmot i've ever seen above 14,000 ft, and that's for good reason.
Yeah, the Nevada forum has been real slow lately. It's good to hear Whitney is in shape this early in the season. I loved the Fresh Air Traverse on the East Face. I thought the Face is a better route than the Buttress and even a little harder. They're both great routes. I got altitude sickness both times I was up there. The worst was when we set basecamp at Iceberg Lake (12,500 feet) for the E. Buttress. I felt superb on the summit and was fine descending the Mountaineer's Route, the whole time I was saying "let's climb Russell tomorrow". Well, we got back to Iceberg and started having dinner and wham, the headache and nausea kicked in. I spent the rest of the night on my hands and knees vomiting. Felt fine after we descended below 11,000 feet the next morning. I learned to set basecamp a little lower down. The Palisades are sweet too. Check out Mount Sill sometime, the Swiss Arete, 5.7, is really good. Gigi and I recently enjoyed Jungle on the Aquarius Plateau in Utah. There's a lot of short trad and sport at 10,000 feet elevation. I was cragging in Colorado last week and I've got a repeat date with Dream of Wild Turkeys coming soon. No alpine plans yet, but hope to get to the Sierras this summer.
John, Good stuff. I'll def take a look at swiss arete. Yeah, Whitney was in great shape with not much snow this winter. We had originally planned to do fish hook arete. We climbed the first 3 pitches and bailed off to the climbers right back into the gully. 40 degrees w/ 20+ mph was too cold for my partner. He had recent elbow surgery w/ some nerve damage and is having circulation problems to his hands. Bummer. We ended up starting on the East Face around 12 after a long hike back. It was much warmer with no wind. I agree, the east face is a much better climb with the exposed traverses. When we got back to basecamp at iceberg I had to force myself to pack up all my gear barely restraining myself from vomiting. Once back to upper boyscout I felt 100% better. I'm going to start camping at Upper boy scout from now on or acclimate over a longer period of time. Have fun on DOWT. Love that 2nd pitch!
How many days do you set aside for a Sierra trip from Vegas? I figure three days minimum accounting for getting a walk-up permit, acclimitizing and the five-hour drive each way. Four days is ideal and allows for multiple routes or attempts. Having a permit arranged prior to the trip could shorten the time needed, but I don't seem to plan that far in advance. I've not been too ashamed to bandit camp when the walk-up option has failed...
I think 3-4 days is ideal. I'll usually leave in the afternoon and spend a night at the Whitney Portal, then hike up and camp at upper boyscout or iceberg, and then climb the next day. I've done Whitney via East Buttress twice in the winter and usually try to get it done in two days. OR even better, get a week off and acclimate in Tuolumne, then hit Whitney on the way back down :)
Well, you can tell that it's the first day of Summer. Gigi and I went out to Red Rock today to climb in the Black Corridor. When we got to the Second Pullout at about 2pm there was not a single other car in the lot - very surreal. We had the entire Corridor to ourselves.
Rob, you know I am not hard enough to hang around all summer, or rather, the Bugs are a bit nicer this time of year. In any regard, I spent June putting up six new multi pitch crack lines. Only two pro bolts on the entire wall. From 2 to five pitches. All crack. You will always need a decent rack. Pro over Red Rock is that the morning approach all summer and climbs will be shaded until 2pm. We have been putting these up via FA on site during triple digits no worries. I will get them all up on Summitpost within the next week or two. All 5.10ish except for this first one I added, but nothing any more challenging than Cynthia's Handjob. Would appreciate any further cleaning you do. Add no bolts though please. I led them all FA, on site, ground up without any. This is a trad area. Enjoy your summer and be safe, off to climb with Joanne and Jorge in Idaho. Francesco Cheers
I'd like to say something nice to you three, but it's time for me to go to work for a stretch, so: BURN IN HELL, VEGAS SCUM!!!!!!!! Joking of course, just had to spice up the forums somehow. Dow is it OK if I Unimpeachably Grope your crack lines, say, 1-2 bolts per foot? The good news is that I'll be able to afford enough Vagisil to take care of at least 2 or 3 of the sport climbers in town, so be ready, ladies, it's coming your way!
Nice work Dow!! Jealous. What's up w/ the Francesco name? Working hard in summer heat? LOL I'm going to have to come up and check out your lines, but not in June, July, or August. LOL. I'll try and keep the thread going, just got back from the Palisades. Was my first time in the area. So beautiful. The other Rob put up a little TR on supertopo. Was my first Solo on ice, scared the shit out of me. www.supertopo.com/tr/U-Notch-to-North-Palisade-almost/t11525>>> >Big boot bouldering on a anorexic rack.
Lame sauce, i thought the Nevada forum would still be bitching about perma-draws and lazy volunteer efforts. Guess you all must be doing something with your lives.
I spent a great two weeks climbing in Vedauwoo. Wish I could have stayed longer! I've got a write up on my blog if anyone is interested in funkadelic wideness. I'm still looking forward to getting back to Red Rocks for the Fall/Winter/Spring, so I'll see you guys then.
Just got back from Ruth Gorge, AK. Goldfinger Route, The Stump, Ruth Gorge, AK
Darren, that looks awesome! what were the temps like? whats the elevation for the summit? nice work.
Summertime in Vegas is great. I have climbed every weekend in Red Rock for the past two months and have yet to see another climber. Gotta love it!!!
Well, summer is coming to an end. Finished with a final trip in Tuolumne/Bishop area. Weather is looking great for Red Rocks, excited for the fall season. Cheers!
Awesome pics, Rob. I loved OZ. Did you do the Gram traverse? I took a nice swinging fall and dropped all my nuts into the boulder field below. Good times.
No we didn't end up doing the gram traverse. Ahhh, good stuff! I hear the traverse is pretty physically demanding. We ended up linking OZ to Hobbit book and then did On The Lamb backwards. Had so much fun we traversed back a second time.
I've always wanted to do On the Lamb. Sounds like a good summer, Rob!!
Though many won't believe it; I am going to miss summertime in Vegas! Summertime in Red Rock means perfect temps on the north facing climbs and no crowds (aka lines) on any route. Fall and winter is coming whichs equals gumby's and crowds. Summer cant come back soon enough.
Yeah, the bit of summertime climbing we did in RR this season was nice. Just us, the burros, and native creatures pretty much. The sun-exposed hikes in were always brutal, but once we were in the shade we were golden. With bodies wet with sweat from the approach, even a gentle breeze would cool us down on any day >100 in the shade out there. Sometimes we'd even catch a pleasant chill, and forget that it's summer in the desert, and OMG, the ecstasy of ice cold beverages waiting for us at the truck for the drive back to Vegas made any suffering in the heat worthwhile. The longer days were nice too! Looking back now, I wish that I had taken better advantage of the summer climbing in RR, as we have past seasons, but was distracted with other activities; paddling on the Colorado River, and at Lake Mead (on 108-122 degree days-ugh) and off roading throughout the remote areas of the desert to visit cool historic sites. We also canyoneered some in Zion this season, amongst other pastimes of ours; we never stay home on our weekends with our short attention spans, and all. : ) That being said, we did manage to escape to some higher and/or cooler places such as Tahquitz/Suicide Rock, Boulder Canyon, and Lumpy Ridge in CO (for a quicky trip) and the Aquarius Plateau for more climbing this summer. We also spent some time mid-July exploring the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, hiking ,and some mountain biking near Point Sublime. We also managed to paddle at sea, and even experienced launching and docking in the surf- kinda like kayak surfing, I suppose. Pretty intense for us rookie sea kayak surfers. ; ) I sprained my thumb pretty bad in one of my bigger wipe-outs. Damn huge ass wave came outta nowhere. That shit is scary in an inflatable kayak! Great thread for the Nevada Forum, Rob! Nice to hear about some of your summer adventures , you fellow locals! Hope to catch you at the beer nights, or on the rock. EDIT to add: Damn that Clayton (just noticed your post squeezed in on our beloved Nevada Forum), capping on our lazy volunteer, and perma-drama efforts we've had. ; ) What the hell have you been up to, stranger? It was nice sending you off to Yosemite on your last MP beer night you had with us desert rats. Hope all is well.
Nice Cassondra! The best thing about summertime in Red Rock is that you can proudly wear your world's largest hat.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Indianapolis Colts special-teams coordinator Marwan Maalouf will not be back on coach Chuck Pagano's staff next season.
The team says Maalouf and the Colts mutually agreed to part ways.
Maalouf followed Pagano from Baltimore to Indianapolis last year. Under Maalouf, P Pat McAfee averaged 48.2 yards per punt, PK Adam Vinatieri continued to make game-winning kicks and the punt- and kickoff-coverage units improved.
The Colts did not say what Maalouf plans to do next. Offensive coordinator Bruce Arians is expected to be a candidate for head-coaching jobs in Chicago, Philadelphia and San Diego.

The Daily Scope
A conversation could rouse deep psychological issues. But the good news is, as these issues arise, you see a way to move past them. You observe the reasons behind your actions and a new cycle of energy crosses your path. Reflect and move on. Now is the time to grow!
Don't be too surprised if you feel as though you're running on fumes today, Taurus. Socializing has completely exhausted you, and you're feeling churlish and intolerant. The best advice is to avoid the situation altogether, and leave the chitchat for another day. In the meantime, rest and regroup.
Today, you could get a payout on a past investment, only to discover that it was not the way you had anticipated. Is your frustration due to a lack of long-term planning and vision? For the future, make sure you have all of your bases covered. It'll allow you to turn these losses into profits.
Today, it's as if you are walking on air, Cancer: You feel an expanded sense of awareness. Your love for others is contagious. You'll have the opportunity to spread wisdom and to provide sound advice. Your compassion overflows.
Your stubbornness is not allowing you to let go. Talk it through and bring your feelings out into the open. This could cause you to feel vulnerable, but it's a necessary step, especially if you want to move on. Release yourself from judgment and from judging others. Forgiveness leads to freedom.
Relations come from a place of camaraderie and cooperation, today. This allows for you to drop your guard, because you don't feel judged. Savor the good feelings and open up! You'll enjoy the deep talks and intimate companionship.
You're too much on the defensive today, Libra. You feel as though everyone is criticizing you and your actions; when in fact, you're the only one giving yourself a hard time. Don't be such a critic. Should someone offer you advice, know that they're doing so out of love, not judgment.
You're expanding too quickly, Scorpio. You want to push yourself, but current circumstances are forcing you to slow down and wait. For now, be content to take a step back and be patient with your process.
Be careful today. You may not be able to see clearly the consequences of your actions. You're unable to bring the issue into clear focus, so instead you're swinging wildly, hoping to hit your target. Get a grip on your emotions, avoid getting lost in a sea of confusion, and work to see the details.
Today, you're not receiving the support you need and it's thrown you for a loop. Don't let this get you down, Capricorn. It's a confusing day for everyone. See this as a slight bump in the road. Maintaining your perspective will prevent you from becoming overly pessimistic.
You're not going to get any sympathy today, Aquarius--only hard facts. Don't be surprised if your feelings get hurt. However, the positive news is that whatever you're sensitive about can provide clues to resolving a personal issue you might have. In other words, don't lash out at others—they are simply behaving as a mirror, allowing you to see yourself more clearly.
Opportunities and discussions that were once going in your favor can take a bad turn today. The trick is to not see this setback as a reflection of your actions. Sometimes a roadblock has nothing to do with you—it's timing. Don't be overly responsible for what is beyond your control.

Good economic news was released on Wednesday for the Dubois County area. Officials say over 100 jobs are coming to Ferdinand by this summer.
The expansion of the MasterBrand Cabinets in Ferdinand is a $1 million project that will bring 135 new wood-working jobs to the area.
Ferdinand Town Council President Ken Sicard says MasterBrand wants the new positions filled by June 1. Sicard says MasterBrand will hire people to work on assembly lines, run machinery, and possibly operate computerized CNC machinery.
Sicard says the expansion was contingent on a town-approved tax abatement.
"They could have gone out of state. We as a town, wanted to make sure that we kept them in Dubois County and in our town, if at all possible," he said.
"It sounds wonderful because when you have that many jobs created, it usually has a ripple effect, where maybe two or three more jobs will be created to help serve and support that new group of income generators. So, it could be a really nice boost for the economy around here," said Brian McIntosh, who works in software.
If you're interested in any of these new jobs at MasterBrand, you can apply in person at the Ferdinand location or anytime on the MasterBrand website.

Here's a key matchup to watch in Sunday's Vikings-Chargers game:
Vikings PR Marcus Sherels vs. Chargers punt coverage
Odd matchup? Not really when you think about it. The Chargers were miserable in this department last season, ranking dead last in the NFL in punt coverage with an average allowed of 18.9 yards, which is fairly unbelievable. That in part led to the dismissal of Steve Crosby and the hiring of a new coordinator, Richard Bisaccia, who is considered one of the best in the NFL.
The results in the preseason were better, although there is still room for improvement. Opponents averaged 11.4 yards per punt return on seven returns, but the good news is that there were five fair catches. Bisaccia clearly is aiming for better hang time to allow his punt team to get down and force a lot of fair catches. Last season, in 35 punt-return chances, there were only seven fair catches called for total.
Sherels won the job from Jaymar Johnson in the preseason. His overal numbers were not great, averaging 5.3 yards per return, but he showed good consistency and the ability to make the first man miss in training-camp practices.
If the Vikings are going to win this game, they will need some help from the special teams. A long punt return or two really could spark the offense to better field position, or perhaps a score.

Awesome info.!! Do you know if the Canon hood would fit the B+W 77MM XS-PRO UV MRC-NANO? The reason I ask is due to B&H stating that it may not fit.
That's a generic warning. The 17-55's hood will fit fine with the filter in place, on and off. B&H is warning that the actual filter is slightly larger (less than 1 mm) than the 77mm threads. The filter for the 17-55 is the EW-83J - it's mount diameter is 83mm, plenty of space!

Gaithersburg, Md. and Tokyo, Japan-October 16, 2013- OpGen, Inc., a leading genetic analysis company, and Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation today announced an agreement to develop a comprehensive human chromosome mapping analytical service for clinical research applications by a combination of OpGen's market-leading Whole Genome MappingTM technology and Hitachi High-Technologies' and Hitachi group's cloud-based systems. This service will include bioinformatics tools to complete human genome sequence and detect and analyze structural variations in human chromosomes.
"Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation is a global technology leader, and we are pleased to partner with them to create an integrated solution for human genome analysis that captures important structural variation information" said Douglas White, chief executive officer of OpGen, Inc. "The resulting human chromosome mapping service will enable OpGen to continue its expansion into clinical research with the potential to develop diagnostic applications for diseases based on patient's genetic information."
Under the terms of this agreement, Hitachi High-Technologies will fund development and the companies will work together to combine the strengths of their proprietary technologies. OpGen's Whole Genome MappingTM provides a unique view into structural variation in human chromosomes and offers a more accurate and complete analysis of the human genome than next generation sequencing data alone can provide. Many structural variations are associated with cancer, autism, Alzheimer's disease, and many other cognitive disorders. This type of genetic information will enable development of new therapies, and eventually will empower the broader healthcare community to diagnose and guide treatment decisions based on a patient's genetic profile.
Hitachi High-Technologies with recognized experience and achievements through DNA sequencer business in life science and translational research market has been developing the cloud platform for human genome data analysis with Hitachi Solutions, in Foster City, California. The human genome cloud platform will enable secure entry portals for researchers, clinicians, and eventually patients to access Whole Genome MappingTM data, human chromosome analytical tools, and ultimately clinically actionable data. As part of the service, Hitachi High-Technologies will also add human DNA sequence analytical tools, which complement Whole Genome MappingTM to provide complete genetic evaluation of human chromosomes.
"This partnership leverages our development of cloud-based informatics platform and provides enabling and proven technology for human genetic analysis," said Takashi Matsuzaka, senior vice president and executive officer, CTO of Hitachi High-Technologies Corporation. "This is a great example of how Hitachi High-Technologies is continuously enhancing our healthcare informatics offerings for customers worldwide by partnering our technologies with other innovative companies, such as OpGen."
Hitachi Solutions America, Ltd. will provide cloud infrastructure for Human Chromosome Mapping services and will be attending American Society of Human Genetics Annual Meeting this year from October 22nd through the 26th in Boston. We will discuss the details about the partnership between Hitachi Solutions America, Hitachi High-Technologies and OpGen at ASHG2013 at booth #811. We will also be discussing our cloud-based infrastructure and data-management platform, being called the Human Genome Data Infrastructure. Stop by the booth to qualify for one of these great prizes.

So, depending on who you ask, Willow Garage is shutting down, pursuing commercial interests, or changing direction. But things are not as dire as some may think: ROS is fine (the OSRF will support it) and there are many options for Willow Garage to explore. Personally I'm hoping it will be snatched up by Stanford or another academic institution and become a research institute. But given the number of robots they have out (and their price tags!), a commercial path into the future seems even more likely. In any case, I doubt that Willow Garage will disappear just like that.
What caused the changes is that Willow's founder and funder, Scott Hassan, has decided that it's time to wean Willow Garage from his private financial support.

Full report: puppy with its head stuck in plughole
An eight-week-old puppy has been freed from a sink plughole, after getting his head stuck.
Tyson's owner took him to an emergency vets in Leicester, still attached to the sink.
The old kitchen basin had been left in the garden when the rottweiler-alsatian cross pushed his head through.

The Detroit Tigers, needing help in both their rotation and at second base, filled two holes in one move, acquiring second baseman Omar Infante and starting pitcher Anibal Sanchez from the Miami Marlins for 21-year-old pitcher Jacob Turner, two Tigers prospects, and a draft pick in the new competitive-balance lottery. From MLB.com's Joe Frisario:
There is strong speculation that the Marlins and Tigers are nearing completion on a trade.
The Marlins would be parting with Anibal Sanchez and Omar Infante in a deal that would send pitching prospect Jacob Turner to Miami.
And Jon Morosi says the deal is done:
#Tigers acquire Infante and A Sanchez from Marlins— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 23, 2012
With an update on the names:
Infante and A. Sanchez for Turner, Brantly, LHP Flynn and a pick.— Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) July 23, 2012
That'd be Rob Brantly, a 23-year-old catcher in AAA, and Brian Flynn, a gigantic pitcher who has split time between High-A and Triple A this season. The draft pick would be the 37th-overall pick of the 2013 draft, and it would be swapped for the Tigers' pick awarded to them after the second-round pick of the draft under the new competitive-balance lottery rules.
Also, the Tigers, who just signed Prince Fielder for nine years, were awarded a pick in the competitive-balance lottery. Just clearing that up.
The 28-year-old Sanchez is going to be a free agent after the season, and he had a 3.94 ERA and a solid strikeout-to-walk ratio of 110 to 33 in 121 innings for the Marlins. The right-hander struggled through injury problems earlier in his career, but he's made 32 starts in each of the last two seasons.
Infante is still under contract for the 2013 season, and the 31-year-old was in the middle of a very typical season, hitting .287/.312/.442, which is roughly in line with what he's done over the past four seasons. He was signed and developed by the Tigers, playing in the organization from the time he was 17 until he was traded to the Braves after the 2007 season.
Turner was the Tigers' first-round pick in 2009, drafted 9th overall. He has an 8.28 ERA in the majors over six career starts, but he was one of the best prospects in baseball, ranking #22 in Baseball America's top-100 list before this season. The sinkerballer dominated high-A this year, and held his own against older competition in AAA.

The Alabama Supreme Court says a Macon County Circuit Court judge was wrong in denying the State Attorney General's request for a search warrant at VictoryLand casino.
The Supreme Court issued a 46-page opinion on Friday stating that "[a] circuit judge is not free to frustrate the enforcement of the criminal law by refusing to issue warrants necessary or appropriate to its enforcement in his or her circuit."
In the ruling, the Supreme Court stated that "the circumstances presented allow for no reasonable conclusion other than that probable cause exists for the issuance of the search warrant in this case."
The court also noted that surveillance video in support of the warrant showed games that did not reasonable resemble the game of bingo.
"I have said from day one that my office would handle this matter through the courts, and today the Supreme Court has spoken. The Court explained in a detailed and thorough opinion why each of Judge Young's reasons for denying the warrant for VictoryLand was wrong as a matter of law," said Attorney General Strange in reaction to the ruling. "This decision should end the debate on whether so-called 'electronic bingo' is illegal. It is illegal and local officials cannot create rules to make it legal. The only question now is whether the Legislature will enact tough penalties so that people will think twice before they engage in large-scale slot-machine gambling in the future."
VictoryLand was raided on February 19th. At the time, Macon County Circuit Court Judge Tom Young had been ordered to sign the search warrant after denying it a month earlier. On the signed warrant, Young wrote a note describing his apprehension with the order.

The Packers start their 2012 regular season with three games on three different days of the week but will face their greatest tests at the end of the year.
Green Bay starts off the season at home on Sept. 9 against the 49ers, a matchup that many expected in the NFC championship game a year ago before the Packers were upset by the Giants in the divisional round. Just five days after that, the Bears come to Lambeau Field for a Thursday-night NFC North battle that will give the winner the upper hand in the division to start the year. The Packers end the stretch on Monday, Sept. 24, when they face their old backup quarterback, Matt Flynn, and the Seahawks.
Games against the high-powered Saints in Week Four and Texans in Week Six highlight the next stretch of the schedule. There's also a matchup with a pair of No. 1 overall draft choices, Andrew Luck (most likely) of the Colts in Week Five and Sam Bradford's Rams in Week Seven. Home games vs. the Jaguars and Cardinals lead the Packers into a Week 10 bye.
The toughest part of the schedule comes after the week off. In a five-week stretch, the Packers face the Lions in Detroit, look to get playoff revenge in a rematch with the Giants in the Meadowlands, take on the rival Vikings at home, face the Lions again, and round it out with a trip to Chicago vs. the Bears. The Giants and second Lions games are both on "Sunday Night Football."
The 2012 season ends with a home game vs. the Titans in Week 16 and a visit to the Metrodome to take on the Vikings again to conclude the regular season.
The way we see it
It's unlikely head coach Mike McCarthy has too many complaints with this schedule. The two toughest games come at the start of the year and right after the bye week, meaning McCarthy will have ample time to prepare for both. The two Lions games in such a short period of time could be interesting, especially if the game is as chippy as the teams' Thanksgiving battle a year ago, which is best remembered for Lions DT Ndamukong Suh's head stomp of Packers OG Evan Dietrich-Smith.
