Public Abstract:
Recent developments in stem cell research suggest that the next revolution in medicine might come from cellular therapies. Transplantation of blood cells has already made a significant impact on the treatment of cancer, but until recently it was inconceivable that we will be able to reconstitute injured organs or regenerate functional tissues. However, it will be neither easy nor soon that we will be able to implement stem cell therapies as standard treatments of disease. One of the major limitations is our poor ability to study the behavior of cells within the body, their natural site of operation. Consequently, extensive experimental approaches are being developed to simulate the events that take place in real life, with quite limited success. It is difficult to imagine quality stem cell therapies without the ability to properly monitor these cells in the body, subsequent to introducing them into the patient. For achieving their desired revolutionary treatments, we need to better study the mechanisms and spatiotemporal details of stem cell behavior, within a realistic setting. We know that the most primitive stem and progenitor cells are in a low functional state, and require interaction with their specific environment to initiate, direct and control their activity. We also know that the temporal succession of these processes is of outmost importance, as stem cells will react differently when submitted to different sequences of inductive signals. Collecting these data in vivo is much more difficult than otherwise, but given the complexities involved, it is by far the most relevant and efficient path to better understand the functioning of stem cells within the body, and find ways of optimizing it, for therapies as well as safety. Optical imaging can provide the needed temporal and spatial resolution; however, no commercially available method, no matter how expensive or established, has the requisite performance in vivo. We therefore propose to develop, integrate and use new optical imaging technologies to characterize, in live animals, the behavior of stem cells, down to the molecular level. The needed focus on known molecular interactions, at optimal times requires our new, multimode combination of powerful imaging methods, deployed in concert: hyperspectral (derived from satellite reconnaissance), scattering, fluorescence and coherence, some of which we pioneered. We aim to establish our system as a platform for simultaneous, versatile functional acquisition of information under physiological conditions in real time, to test sequential molecular events in live stem cells, and propose to apply it to investigate important issues, including the interaction of stem cells with their environment, stem cell movement to a specific locus, based on injury or other aberrant physiology, cancer stem cells, and stem-cell based neuroregeneration.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The promise of harnessing stem cells for the treatment of human disease is very exciting, but a lot is required to turn it into reality. Great leaps in technology and in molecular-level understanding of biology are very helpful, but for impacting the way treatments are delivered, more conditions are necessary, strategic, logistic, financial, political. The achievement of true breakthroughs, especially in a massive, heavily regulated field like healthcare, depends on the favorable alignment of a number of circumstances; this is more likely to happen at a state, rather than federal level. To accelerate the pace towards therapies for patients with chronic and debilitating disease and injury, the citizens of California (CA) supported Proposition 71 and the establishment of the CIRM, thus recognizing the fundamental importance of stem cell research to the future of biotechnology and regenerative medicine. The benefits of any research deemed of high-enough quality by CIRM for funding are likely to be scientific, medical, economic and human, as follows: I. General 1. Fostering better, more goal-directed interdisciplinary science in CA 2. Enhancing CA competitiveness and image in the scientific and medical world 3. Accelerating the path to the cure of important, challenging diseases II. CA--specific 1. Addressing - faster, better - problems that are more pronounced in CA (e.g. neurodegenerative diseases, linked to population ageing and overuse of pesticides) 2. Further securing CA's leading position in biomedical research, biotechnology and potentially in healthcare delivery 3. Attracting relevant research and medical talent to CA 4. Reducing the cost of treating major diseases III. Additionally, our specific in vivo imaging project, if funded, would contribute as follows: 1. Appling efficient, therapy-relevant investigation and validation methods to important cell lines outside the limits of federally-funded research 2. Developing technologies not likely funded by government, for obtaining data critical to the future of the field and to directing the research strategies of CIRM 3. Transferring to CA-based industry of important technologies that will further strengthen CA's already leading role in the medical device industry, and creating quality jobs (with positive effects on our tax base) 4. Providing a key ingredient for stem cell therapy validation, standardization and optimization, needed for FDA approval of any therapies (as extensive preclinical testing will be required before these cells are approved for use in humans), and thus 5. Shortening the timelines for delivering cell-based therapies to patients Our California-invented technology would allow watching some good cellular therapy scenarios unfold in vivo, at a level of spatiotemporal detail that allows subsequent improvements, but also some negative scenarios (immune rejection, teratomas) in their details, in order to learn how to prevent them.
Review Summary:
This proposal focuses on the development of a multimodal imaging system that that is capable of in vivo measurement of a wide variety of cellular and molecular phenomena, a technology that would allow researchers to address fundamental questions in stem cell biology. First, the applicant proposes to assemble a multimodal imaging system into a single rig which will be optimized for performance and adapted to a platform where cellular, molecular, and physiological data can be simultaneously gathered. The applicants point out that these various data types will yield synergistic information when collected from the same cells at the same time. For the remainder of this effort, the applicant will perform proof of concept experiments using the instrument to test multiple hypotheses surrounding stem and progenitor cell engraftment in murine calvaria. Additional validation will be attempted using hair cells and cancer stem cells as models. The reviewers were enthusiastic about the proposed concept of combining multiple technologies. While encouraged by the concept, the considerable technical, practical and budgetary challenges, as well as an overly complex validation strategy, diminished the reviewers' confidence that the proposed goals would be met. Finally, reviewers noted a potential weakness in the research team that raised questions about the collective ability of the team to capitalize on their findings. The reviewers felt that, in theory, the impact of the proposed technology could be substantial. The ability to study stem cells criteria multiple levels of data resolution in their native environment would provide the opportunity to address long-standing questions in the field. Furthermore, combining multiple components into a single rig would provide practical and logistical advantages to the practicing investigator. However, the reviewers were concerned that the cost and complexity of such a device would preclude its widespread use. Furthermore, the applicant did not adequately address the need for informatics tools that would be necessary to integrate, synthesize and interpret the acquired data. These weaknesses were thought to decrease the overall impact of the proposed technology, even if it were successfully realized as described. The proposal was judged to be dense, difficult to read, and appeared to be a compilation of loosely linked projects, with no real discussion about the potential pitfall in combining the technologies. Reviewers raised many concerns about the practicality of the proposed device, such as the potential of failure in one component to cause cascading generalized failure of the whole system. Some of the strongest criticism was directed towards the scope of the proposed endeavor, particularly with regards to the proof of concept experiments. Some elements of the research design raised red flags, such as the failure to consider gender of the stem cells which will affect engraftment, and the use of quantum dots, which are likely to have toxic effects in vivo. Some reviewers noted a lack of staff dedicated to these investigations, indicating that the applicants might have underestimated the challenges of this approach. Thus, despite some encouraging, but limited preliminary data, the reviewers would have preferred that the applicants focus on a single or smaller set of modalities to evaluate the performance of the instrument before embarking on a complex strategy of biological validation. The reviewers felt that the applicants were well qualified to develop the proposed technology. The principal investigator has the necessary expertise to oversee the assembly of the instrument as well as and direct the biological validation experiments. The multidisciplinary team has the necessary expertise in chemistry, physics, and biology to conduct the proposed experiments. However, the reviewers were unclear as to who would actually build and maintain the instrument. Furthermore, the lack of a computer scientist on the team was viewed as a substantial liability, as the need for data collection, management and integration are essential to realize the full potential of the proposed technology. Overall, the technology described in this proposal could be powerful and practical, but the reviewers were not convinced of its feasibility and therefore, its potential to advance the field.

JONESVILLE, La. (KALB News Channel 5) – State Fire Marshal investigators have determined yesterday's deadly fire that claimed the life of Kevin Wiley, 36, was intentionally set.
Late last night, Fire Marshal investigators arrested two Jonesville men for their involvement in the Pecan Street fire that claimed Wiley's life, according to the Office of Louisiana State Fire Marshal.
Both men have been charged with one count each of Second Degree Murder and Aggravated Arson.
LASMF reported Conner Thomas and Trey Seward, both 17 years of age, were arrested without incident and booked into Catahoula Parish Jail where they are being held without bond.
On Feb. 7, 2014, State Fire Marshal investigators were called upon to investigate a deadly blaze that claimed the life of a Jonesville resident earlier today.
Jonesville firefighters were dispatched to a residential fire at 1005 Pecan Street at approximately 4:00am, after a neighbor reported seeing the fire.
First arriving firefighters found the mobile home venting heavy smoke and flames. After the fire was brought under control, firefighters located the body of Wiley.
Investigators determined that the fire originated in the area of the living room. The home was determined to have been without electrical power at the time of the fire and was not equipped with working smoke alarms.

Remember Me
DEAR EDITOR,We are writing this letter on behalf of our "Faith 4 Freedom" group in response to the article written by Mike Ford on Aug. 29 titled "Christians rally to protect their religious freedom."Ford's article portrayed an unfair representation of the Health and Human Services Mandate and how it attacks our religious freedom and gave no concrete information as to what our group is all about, even though this information was given to him ahead of time. We are a non-partisan, multi-denominational, grassroots organization focused on prayer, education and action in support of religious freedom. We are not trying to push any political agenda or church doctrine onto others.Mr. Ford attended part of our meeting, listening to our local members giving testimony and progress of our outreach. As our guest speaker, Chris Long, director of the Ohio Christian Alliance, came up to speak, Mr. Ford took a photo and left the building. He didn't extend the courtesy to stay and listen to our guest speaker, much less report any information about our group. Only a couple quotes from Mr. Long were added in the article from a previous brief interview.Ford's article centered on the opinions of Joanne Brant, a law professor from Ohio Northern University, who supposedly specializes in how the law applies to religious freedom. Most disturbing was the highlighted quote by Brant that is not only false but entirely twists the conversation to insinuate that religious organizations are trying to take over all employer health care and push them to their own church doctrine. This quote displays her bias and/or lack of knowledge as to why numerous religious institutions object to the Dept. of Health and Human Services Mandate forcing virtually all employer health plans to provide 100-percent coverage with no co-pay for contraceptives, sterilizations, abortion-inducing drugs and any FDA-approved contraceptive methods, regardless of moral or religious objections. On family plans, minors will have these services available without parental consent. The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act originally contained a religious-employer exemption for these services.The article softens the language in the bill, stating "includes birth control." Details involve more than what can be written in this letter. The most important detail in this is not a contraceptive issue. This is a religious freedom issue. It's a matter of whether religious people and institutions may be FORCED by the government to provide coverage for contraception, abortion or sterilization, even if that violates their religious beliefs.Brant stated, "In a secular society, all religious groups must live in Caesar's world and under Caesar's rules." We don't live in Caesar's world. Caesar was a dictator. We live in the United States of America, a republic, which guarantees its citizens certain rights through our Constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." America is great because America is free.In the article, Brant's shocking statement, "Just as a Muslim can't claim religious freedom to engage in honor killing and expect to avoid murder charges, a religious person can't violate a neutral, generally-applicable law with impunity," most certainly needs to be addressed. Her comparison of Muslims being denied freedom to engage in honor killings without murder charges to religious institutions being denied their freedom to oppose paying for 100-percent abortion coverage which forces them to violate established religious beliefs is absolutely ludicrous. We welcome an opportunity to educate you and the public about "Faith 4 Freedom." Our next meeting is at 7 p.m. on Tuesday with details posted on our web site.Sincerely,Lisa RahrigTess RahrigLaura WilsonJane & Randy HemkerCarol BrinkmanDodie Seller"Faith 4 Freedom" committeewww.meetup.com/Faith4Freedom

Peter Bean of Burnt Orange Nation is covering the combine for SB Nation. A great piece especially this exchange with a newspaper writer: PB: "Doesn't your paper ask you to blog these days?" I ask one writer who seems particularly disgusted with my presence. "You bet your ass they do," he hisses in reply. "But if it weren't for jokers like you, they'd still appreciate my filing three stories per week, instead of asking me to write a blog three times a day." PB: "Really?" "Because my only regret is that I can't explore sports with as much depth as I could if I just had enough time to write about everything I want to write about." "And that's the trouble with you young people." And that pretty much says it all.

BOCA RATON -- The focus has shifted in the football coach's office at Florida Atlantic University.
No longer is Carl Pelini spending the majority of his days pushing papers or working on overhauling his program. In Year II, Pelini can totally immerse himself into doing what he came here to do: Teach and coach.
"I felt last year sometimes more an administrator than a football coach," Pelini said. "It seemed like I couldn't get into the film room because there was always something to be dealt with and now I don't feel that way."
Pelini's stamp has been applied on a program that sunk to the bottom of college football's upper division in Howard Schnellenberger's final years. After a year of restructuring everything from study hall to the offense, Pelini is more comfortable as the Owls start yet another chapter in their 13-year history with their move into Conference USA.
FAU's 3-9 record in Pelini's first season was just a glimpse into the progress the program made from its one-win season in 2011. The Owls won two of their final five games, which included a competitive loss at Navy and a victory at Western Kentucky.
Now, instead of coaching how to practice Pelini and his staff can coach how to win.
"It is night and day in what you see in the culture of the program," athletic director Pat Chun said. "They spent last year working on leadership, accountability. Now it is a progressive, modern-day FBS program. Practice is about getting work down, finishing drills, giving effort. Last year, that all was a foreign language."
FAU returns six players on offense with significant starting experience and eight on defense. Both sides of the ball remain works in progress with the offense still learning about the spread and the defense getting comfortable handling the responsibilities of multiple sets. The Owls spent much of last season in a basic defense.
"Now we have a pretty good feel for the system," senior receiver Daniel McKinney said. "We know what we are supposed to be doing and we can play fast and focus on the fundamentals."
Senior Mustafa Johnson put enough faith in Pelini to journey across the country from his hometown of Corona, Ca., to join the Owls after two years in community college. Johnson started 11 games at center and now is the leader and anchor of the offensive line.
"There's a different comfort level," Johnson said. "Understanding the coaches and what they expect. Guys have had two years together. We know tendencies. You can get comfortable with one another."
Pelini was forced to go with pocket passer Graham Wilbert as his starting quarterback last season. The offense made strides, improving from 13 points per game in the first half of the season to close to 28 points the second half.
Wilbert was one of those seniors who Pelini credits for making sure his first season was not a washout.
"My biggest fear last year was losing the team when you started off rough but my players bailed me out," Pelini said. "I met with my seniors and said, 'you know where we are and probably the fruits of your labor aren't going to be realized for a year or two after you're gone. But I'm asking you to buy in and I'm asking you to lead this team for 12 games,' " he said. "And they did. Their commitment overwhelmed me."
For Pelini, who spent four years working for his brother, Bo, as the defensive coordinator at Nebraska, it was one of his prouder moments.
Now, the offense can take advantage of a mobile, dual-threat quarterback, no matter who Pelini and offensive coordinator Brian Wright choose among the four — senior Melvin German, sophomore Jaquez Johnson and freshmen Greg Hankerson and DJ Juste — who competed during camp.
The quarterback has weapons like leading rushers Jonathan Wallace and Damian Fortner and leading receivers William Dukes and Daniel McKinney to help with the transition.
"Last year things were broken pretty bad," Chun said. "A losing program results in losing habits.
"This isn't going to be easy but I feel a lot better about this team heading into this schedule with these coaches than I did last year."

Rated 2 out of 5 by jrbeauty76 from Almost, but still a let-down Okay, so the ingredients for this mist are really great. ?Who wouldn't want to spray this on their face? ?However, the solution is too thick and leaves a sticky film behind that looks shiny. ?Not "dewy" as some would like, but actually "shiny" which is never good. ?It also smells like salad olives. ?So, ?ELF: ?What would make this product better would be for it to be more diluted. ?The botanicals are nice, but it's still the water that's going to have the greatest effect in a hydrating face mist. ?I say add orange flower water to the solution to up the water content, (orange flower water is amazing even just by itself, much less with the other cool ingredients) The more watery formula will add more moisture to the skin, and you can spritz more often which one should do with a face mist. ?I'd suggest lowering the price to $3 (or making the container larger at the same price) and upping the water content. ?The whole point of a hydrating face mist is that it actually hydrate. ?This just sprays stickiness onto the skin. ? ?I'm not returning the two bottles I purchased, but I will add orange flower water to them and enjoy a better product. ?I won't purchase again, however because I could just buy my own ingredients and make a better face mist than this. (and re-use your packaging which I like). ? ?ALSO: ?Your shipping facility takes its sweet time. ?I got my "order shipped" notice on a Friday morning but in reality FedEx never took it until Tuesday from your distribution center. ?And there's nothing "smart" about FedEx Smartpost. ?

Rated 4 out of 5 by YYaWannaNO from It's nice I kinda like this stuff. For the most part my skin is dry but because of this particularly rainy/humid summer, parts of my skin are feeling a bit oily. Because of this my normal creamy moisturizer just isn't cutting it which is why I bought this. Not sure it is is for moisturizing or just "refreshing" but a few squirts of this in the morning and at night seems to do the trick. The oily patches are under control and my skin still stays hydrated. The only problem I have with this is that there's really not enough of the product. If I keep using this twice a day, I doubt it will last a month. Hopefully when I'm out, ELF will have another 50% off sale as I can't justify the $6.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GRussell from Wakes you up This feels good to spray on your face in the morning, it wakes you up, dries quickly, and you can feel it working. Doesn't have a scent really. It's a good product, one spray works fine.?

Rated 4 out of 5 by SFfuhevah from Refreshes and moisturizes clean skin! The ingreds in this are really quite nice and healing. It feels refreshing and calming on the skin, sort of like a toner. It keeps redness down and seems to help heal any blemishes. The value is fantastic. MyChelle makes a similar revitalizing spray (good for sensitive skin) at a much higher price point. This is for CLEAN SKIN and is a completely different product than the Mist and Set. A great new product for elf.

Rated 4 out of 5 by HarleyQ from I like it so far. This has replaced my daily moisturizer. I ordered this on a whim but am very happy with the result. The mist is refreshing and doesn't make my skin feel oily like the moisturizer. I have only been using this for a few weeks now but I can't wait to try it on a hot summer day.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DancerMHZ from Obsessed with this stuff! I am obsessed with this stuff! I bought it on a whim during e.l.f.'s last 50% off sale after reading some reviews and have noticed a clear difference in my skin since adding it into my routine. Like others have stated, do not compare this product to the mist and set, as it has collagen and elastin in it and is stated to "replenish and boost your skin" like a moisturizing spray as opposed to the mist and set which is stated to work more like a hairspray for your makeup with radiance boosting properties. I feel that the price is totally reasonable when looking at it that way and considering the ingredients and amazing results I have seen since it's use and I have already repurchased back-ups to use after the one I am currently using runs out.?

Hi gil45
The correct spelling is submission. It's a spelling borrowed from Old French submission, which came from the Latin participle submissus, which itself came from the Latin verb submittere.

Last orders as Watford FC fans' pub, The Yellow and Red Lion, set to close
Updated 8:32am Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Mike Wright, Chief Reporter
Links with former Watford FC owner Laurence Bassini and problems with the police mean a Hornets fans' pub could open its doors for the final time this weekend.
The landlord of the Yellow and Red Lion, Josh Price, said Sunday's home game against Brighton & Hove Albion FC will be the last as fans had not "backed it with their feet" because it is owned by the Stanmore businessman.
He also said the pub, in Vicarage Road, was becoming difficult to run because of the scrutiny it was receiving from the police.
However Mr Price said he was open to keeping it open if buying it off Mr Bassini would encourage more fans to come through its doors.
Speaking to the Watford Observer, Mr Price said: "The supporters have made an issue of the fact this is Laurence's pub.
"We have an agreement to buy the pub off of Laurence as people have said 'if it is your pub we'll come in'. At the end of the day I have tried my hardest.
"But they have not backed it with their feet. If people want it to be the supporters' pub, we believe it can be. But not if they are going to keep going on about Laurence."
The pub, which had been vacant for a number of years, was reopened in 2012 during Mr Bassini's reign at Watford. Mr Bassini then retained the freehold on the pub after selling the club to the Pozzo family later that year.
Mr Price said he felt the pub could have a future as a successful venue if it found a way to win over more fans.
He said: "At this moment as it stands, Sunday is the last day. If the supporters want to vote with their feet and say they don't want this to go and we want this as a supporters' pub then fantastic. Then we will look at it.
"But then people may say they don't want to go there as it gave Laurence half a million."
Since it opened, the pub has also fallen foul of Hertfordshire Constabulary and last year officers applied for it to be stripped of its licence.
As a result Watford Borough Council imposed a six-week licence suspension on the pub in October for breaches of its licence.
The pub had appealed the suspension. However at the time Mr Price complained the Yellow and Red Lion was being treated more severely than other pubs in the town due to its proximity to the stadium.
This week Mr Price said he had continued to have problems with the police and Watford Borough Council after the October licence hearing, which was making it hard to run the business.
He added: "I don't know any other business or any other pub that gets the grief we do. If we are going to be treated differently because of where we are and who we are then we are going to act differently."

However I do feel that people stay away as well due to the influence of a certain Mr A Palmer, a hypocrit and someone who doesn't like people disagreeing with him. He and his arrogance are not liked by most fans, but with the pub comes him and his equally obnoxious son.
Come on Josh you can sort it out, but first you need to get rid of the problems, don't blame people for not supporting it properly. You wouldn't send your child to a school where the teachers are clueless afterall would you?!

They can blame the Bas connection as much as they want but the truth is that in all the time they've been open they've not got themselves organised and worked in a manner that would accommodate Watford fans on a matchday. I bet the away fans don't have to wait as long in the Oddfellows?

So many poor decisions have been made. The décor is terrible, it's like being in a Sunday league club house. A DJ that clearly isn't in favour proven by the fact that the only free space on match days is next to him. Queues that take longer to get the beer than to actually drink it due to slow staff.
If it was a pleasant place to be then enough people would overlook the Bassini factor. I usually go in there most match days and then walk straight back out on account of the queues, music and one option of lager.
Stick a couple of screens showing the morning / evening kick offs and you might get a few more people in there as well. It says it all that people would rather drink in a cold concrete stadium or walk from the town centre instead of visiting something a few metres away.

I have been tinkering around with .sisx files, modifying the E32Image files and the likes and stumbled upon this error. I used Google and I even found a few topics in this forum but none actually helped me any.
My actual scenario: I unpacked a .sisx file using sisinfo. I decompressed the contained .exe file using petran -nocompress. I took the uncompressed file, copied it back on my mass storage replacing the original .exe file and tried to run it, giving the error specified in the title.
I have read on the E32Image specifications but I couldn't really find anything related to a checksum that would really matter.
I tried something else, modified a single byte, in the decompressed file, recompressed it leaving the code size the same, leaving the header intact and its CRC checksum etc. but it would still trigger the "security reasons" error.
So, my question: What hidden detail makes Symbian OS know I had my fingers on the executable?

Anyone been to Cascade or Coldstream? Rainbow or Eagle Creek? Any info would be appreciated.
Cascade is out, coldstream is on its way out. The flow that goes up into the notch was super hollow and sketchy on Saturday. The one to the left of it looked to be in pretty good shape though.
I'm fairly new to the Tahoe area, and in search of ice climbing. Can you tell me why Cascade and Coldstream are on their way out?. Will they come back into shape, or is there just not enough flowing water to reform them, and/or do they get buried in snow? I've heard there's ice bouldering to be had inside the old tunnels at Donner summit. Can anyone provide some information about this, including how to access the tunnels. Thanks.
There is pretty decent ice bouldering in the tunnel, but it was a little thin as of two weeks ago. I'm going to head back up that way at some point this week. Hopefully it will be better. The tunnels are located just south of Donner Ski Ranch.
Was at Coldstream on Sunday. I thought it was in good shape. Started on the flow to the right of the notch. After getting onto the ice there was only one short section of soft wet ice. You could pass it on the right but it was a little steeper than I was willing to lead. Moved over to the flow coming out of the notch. Definitely thin going up the middle but the right side was good to go. There is open water at the top just below the belay bolts (hope tsuji and partners didn't punch through). Didn't ski up to it but the ice on the left looked fat. Of course this was before the warm up the last couple days. Looks like another cold front coming in though.
on january 5: cold stream canyon:
Wonderful conditions update. Thank you guys. The monkeys be sendin'
on january 11:
oh yeah, there is this thing too but it is pretty crappy so don't waste your time!
That thing is like taking a shower in the PM! Wear gaiters and everything waterproof! lol PS: I found my tool :)
cool pics, I have time to play now no more 60+ hrs a week. so this help with recon,hitting cascade this afternoon when partner is available. Let me know if your up for climbing some time. Might of meet and last pic.
hey tom, can you post an update for us since ur local. temps have been warm, is there any ice left? unfortunately my man our schedules are now reversed. i'm pretty busy over the next month but you have my number....
Lake Audrain was fat and very nice for the short hike in. 50' WI 2/3. That was on January 22, 2013. No dripping the entire day.
Anyone climbed today or yesterday? Would love to have some very recent reports. I heard it was great ice in beginning of the week, but it has been real warm... If you don't want the whole world to know you can PM me about it and your secret will be safe :)
I haven't been out but I can't imagine the conditions are that great. It's been raining and really warm for the past 24 hours at least. Any ice that is still up might be kind of sketchy. We could be back in business if things get and remain cold again which looks like it might happen in a few days.
wow looks not bad!
Still ice to be had up there. I climbed a 25m WI3ish on the north side of Donner Peak Tuesday that made for an exciting solo with some exposure. It�s big enough to see from I-80! There were a couple other flows up there, but I didn�t feel like tackling them solo. Cascade Falls had water running down the center on Wednesday but the climber�s left had some thick ice that climbable. Wasn�t steep at all but it was enough to swing tools at. The right side had some interesting features and was a little steeper but, again didn�t want to solo them as it looked a little detached. A couple other areas had ice but I�m not going to take all the fun out of it for you.
We climbed Moonage Daydream in Sequoia on Saturday (about 700-800 ft of ice with 100 or so ft of snow between the lower and upper pitches). Seemed like first ascent of the season. Ice/rock was spicy on the first pitch. Beautiful ice from there.
Nice! That's 700-800 feet?!?!
Yea about 750 ft I think. Looks small in the photo, but it's much bigger in real life :) Per Summitpost page it is a 1000ft climb, but it wasn't. We did it in 5 long pitches (vs 6-7 per SP) and walked about 100ft of snow in between a few. If first pitch had ice that was connecting, we might of been able to do it in 4 60m pitches, but probably not.
Anyone want to get out on the ice in tahoe area this weekend or next?

The Cincinnati Bengals passing defense didn't have a great game against the Atlanta Falcons, but the rushing defense was far more superior Thursday evening -- when Atlanta was foolish enough to run the football that is. And it was mostly the defensive line that deserves the credit.
On second and three from the Falcons 28-yard line with 14:24 remaining in the second quarter, Matt Ryan hands off to Michael Turner on an off-tackle to the left. As Turner is stretching out the play to the left, Taylor Mays comes up from his safety position and puts a crushing hit on Atlanta's fullback Mike Cox.
The impact forced Michael Turner to cut upfield. [Note: We've criticized Taylor Mays for his reckless endangerment but this is an example where it greatly benefited the Bengals but went unnoticed because it was Atkins that made the tackle]
Defensive tackle Geno Atkins was using his deceptive strength to keep drive Justin Blalock back while both men were sliding to Atkins' right.
As Turner redirected due to the Mays collision to his left, Atkins easily shed off Blalock's block to make the tackle on Turner on the four-yard loss.
On first down from Atlanta's 45-yard line with 13:34 remaining in the first quarter, Michael Turner grabs the handoff for a run up the middle. Domata Peko and Todd McClure battled, with neither moving the other. Typically that's a win for the defense, clogging the point of attack to make it difficult for the running back to maneuver. As Turner is crossing the threshold of the line of scrimmage, Roddrick Muckelroy fought off the block from Justin Blalock and collided with Turner. By this time Domata Peko fought off the block and put the finishing tackle on Turner for a minimal two-yard gain.
There's 9:29 remaining in the first quarter, Atlanta is on their second possession of the game. On first second and two from the Bengals 40-yard line, Matt Ryan hands off to Michael Turner to the right. Nose tackle Domata Peko made contact with Falcons center Todd McClure, shadowing the offensive line's side to the their right (Peko's left).
Eventually McClure's slide was obstructed because Jamaal Anderson popped Tony Gonzalez down-block, which indirectly picked McClure from resuming his block on Peko. Now the defensive was free to roam and his awareness picked up the back and the point of attack.
Peko cut underneath lead-blocker Mike Cox with an unobstructed view at the emerging Turner through the lane. Peko made the stop for a one-yard loss.
One the following play, two yards needed for a third down, the Bengals blitzed sending Thomas Howard up the middle. Devon Still, who replaced Peko in nickel defense, looped around Howard's middle blitz, targeting a developing gap up the middle.
You see the running back Jacquizz Rodgers lining up for Still right? So did Cincinnati's defensive tackle. Instead Rodgers banked to his right helping to block Howard while Still momentarily lost his balance anticipating a big hit.
An out-of-control Devon Still was enough for Matt Ryan abandon the pocket and scramble to the right. Jamaal Anderson had already held contain so the quarterback couldn't escape with Anderson, Still, Michael Johnson and Thomas Howard within three yards of making the combined devastating hit. Ryan eventually angled his escape backwards, finding the running back Rodgers near the line of scrimmage. By the time reception was made, Reggie Nelson was burying Rodgers for a seven-yard loss. Falcons punt.

Malone looks to buy out damaged homes
Malone, NY, Feb 27, 2013 — Lower Park Street in Malone has been reopened to traffic again. It's been closed numerous times this winter, because flooding has left the road impassable. It's also destroyed a handful of houses. Town leaders have been looking at getting the river dredged, to prevent future floods. But federal officials say it might make sense just to buy out the homeowners.

For four years Steve Puleo and his wife drove past the former Up the Creek restaurant on their way to hiking in Townsend. He always said the same thing: That would be a good spot for our restaurant.
"We went to Townsend all the time to hike," said the owner of Puleo's Grille, "and we passed through both coming and going. Every time we passed, I would say, 'That would be great spot for our restaurant.' Now it's finally available."
So, he's coming to Blount.
Puleo said he has been looking for four years to find the right location in Blount County. "I think it's best spot in town," he said of the former Up the Creek building on Hall Road.
The new restaurant should be open in early spring. "We're under construction at the Up the Creek property and intend to open in late March or early April, depending on when construction gets done," he said.
Puleo said he wanted to come to Maryville for a while because many of the restaurant's customers come from Blount County. "We've been wanting to come to Maryville, and we kept getting emails wanting us to open here. We're just glad people aren't going to have to drive that far," he said.
Puleo's restaurant has a strong following, the owner said, and the restaurant has won several awards in Knoxville. Puleo, who grew up in East Knox County, has 37 years in the restaurant business in Knoxville. He was the first executive chef with Grady's restaurant.
"Puleo's Grill has been voted the best grill in Knoxville several times, and I've been voted best chef for the last four years," he said. "One of the keys is we make everything from scratch."
Puleo said his restaurant isn't like others. "Most restaurants sell 'bag in a box food. We do it the old fashioned way with fresh meat and produce and fresh chicken. Our theme is 'Southern roots with Italian heritage.'"
Puleo comes by his restaurant theme honestly - his grandmother was Italian and his mother was Southern. "It's an Italian/Southern grill fusion," he said.
Puleo said something else that separates the Puleo's restaurant from others is the quality of the staff leading each location. "Each restaurant is run by real chefs," he said.
Puleo opened the first restaurant in his namesake chain on Aug. 16, 2002, in Strawberry Plains. This is the sixth Puleo's restaurant. Most seat 180 to 200, depending on space. The new location will employee about 80 people, including table servers and managers. "We're doing intensive training with managers right now," he said.
Puleo said the food prep work is labor intensive when you use fresh products, but the difference in the quality of the food is worth it. "People don't realize that's not what is done everywhere," he said.
Puleo has a lunch menu that is priced for value, Puleo said. "It's a great value for the dollar," he said.
New owner at Kathy's Deli
Dan Lashley bought Kathy's Deli on East Broadway Avenue in March. The baker has been in the restaurant business since he was 17. "I started working at Harrah's in Lake Tahoe. I spent over 20 years working in the bakery business," he said. "My last bakery job was as a pastry chef at Das Kuchen Haus in Sacramento."
Lashley came to Blount County because his family was here. He went to work at M&M Mars in Cleveland. "I retired and decided to get back in the restaurant business. I found Kathy's Deli and decided I wanted to open up a bakery specializing in pastries, cakes and breads," he said.
The deli and bakery, located across from Food City on East Broadway Avenue, has about 5,000 square feet of space with 3,500 square feet for dining.
Lashley is quick to mention the newest addition to the restaurant - a brick oven grill. "I had it built. It took several weeks. My wood-fire brick oven was originally built to do breads, and, right now, we're just doing pizza," he said. "In the spring, we'll start baking breads in it."
Lashley said the restaurant will start doing more bread when the Farmer's Market begins in the spring. "In order to use the oven economically, I have to be able to sell a lot of bread. It bakes 120 to 160 loaves a day. The hearth is 4 by 6, so it is a really big oven," he said. "Pizza is a good side thing for us when we're not baking bread."
Lashley said customers have liked the pastries the restaurant has been baking from scratch, and his breakfast menu also is gaining in popularity. "We opened up for breakfast and are trying to get pastries moving more. We open at 7 a.m. with Danish, éclairs, coffee, plus biscuits and gravy," he said.
Lashley said the plan is to expand the bakery and make it bigger. "My idea was to expand. Eventually I'd like to get other people in here and teach them how to bake," he said. "I'd like to teach young people how to bake from scratch."
Lashley's baking experience goes back to the mid-1970s. "I don't use mixes or buy anything frozen. When someone buys an éclair or a Danish here, it's all made from scratch," he said. "All breads are made from scratch. Eventually we'll get to doing wedding cakes from scratch."
From soups to salad dressings, Lashley said everything they make is made from scratch. "I've had sales people try to sell us mixes, and we won't buy them. We use high quality meats. We even make spaghetti and lasagna from scratch," he said. "We're making potato salad and pasta. The girls who do the cooking work hard. They get up early in the morning."
Have a seat at Ciao Deli
Ciao Deli owner Todd White said the eatery in the Market at High and Washington recently started a Thursday and Friday buffet that is becoming very popular.
"People liked it so much when we started it on Friday that we expanded it to Thursdays," White said. The Thursday buffet consists of pizza and the Friday buffet features barbecue, White said.
Another change in the deli is seating for about 26 people. The management also recently got an on-premises beer permit. "We have an on-premises beer license so you can enjoy a drink while shopping in the market," White said.
The deli also offers a bimonthly beer tasting for local fans of imported or micro brewed beers. They are reservation only and take place each second Friday and fourth Thursday of the month at 7:15 p.m.
"We sell out of tastings a week or two in advance," White said. "We've already sold out for the tasting on the 26th."
White also started a Ciao Deli Beer Club for beer connoisseurs. "The beer club has really taken off. There are a lot of beer lovers in Maryville, and the club is an opportunity to try different beers and socialize," he said. "It's been extremely popular."
The deli owner said the whole market also does a "Taste of the Market" event the third Thursday of every month and every department has free samples of their food. That starts at 7 p.m. and lasts about an hour and half. Taste of the Market is free, and they're popular, too, he said.
The weekend is a special time for barbecue lovers at Ciao Deli. "We have barbecue everyday, but on Saturdays, we have ribs in addition to pork and chicken and bratwurst dogs from Wild Creek farms," he said. "When the weather is nice, you can sit outside and enjoy beer and barbecue."
The Market hours are Mondays through Fridays, 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.; and Sundays, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Ruby T's remains closed
Ruby T's restaurant, located in downtown Maryville on Church Avenue, closed more than a year ago and rumors of what will become of the restaurant space owned by Ruby Tuesdays surface every week. From Stir Fry to Wok Hay, each week brings a new possibility in the public's mind for another restaurant there.
Currently the facility houses the fitness center used by Ruby Tuesday team members and also is available to the public, Ruby Tuesday spokesman Rick Johnson said.
"That's on the lower level. It has workout equipment and fitness equipment and also fitness classes are held there," he said.
Johnson said the second level where the restaurant was is on the street level and is used for training for Ruby Tuesday employees. "Currently, those are the plans," Johnson said.
Stir Fry, which had announce it was coming to Maryville in the building downtown that formerly housed Roy's Records, has withdrawn its option on the building, sources say.

Search Funding Opportunities
SBU Funding Opportunities Database
Funding opportunities from a wide range of sponsors are loaded into the database on a weekly basis. Each one is assigned keywords, based on the sponsor's topic. Those keywords are automatically matched to the keyword selections in researcher's profiles, and once-weekly automated emails are sent to faculty providing information on the opportunities that matched their stated interests.
All opportunities remain on the database until they have expired. Numerous views (including weekly funding
bulletins, opportunities sorted by discipline, keyword, due date, funding amount, etc.) are available to
help locate those that are relevant to your needs.
All faculty members and researchers are encouraged to create or update their profile in order to fully benefit from this service.
Community of Science
Peter Saal also acts as liaison between the campus community and the Community of Science (COS). COS provides another service where you can search for major and lesser-known funding opportunities, and post your research profile.

10-day Kilimanjaro Trek (July 5-15) with optional 5-day Safari Tour (July 15-19)
Kilimanjaro's mystique beckons adventure seekers from around the world. The 19,341-foot high summit is a serious altitude challenge, yet a non-technical trail to the top presents one of the most attainable of the "seven summits"—Africa's highest point. Our route is the longest and most scenic to the summit, the Lemosho Glades route. This not only lets us take in more of the mountain's ecology and geology, we also have a better opportunity to acclimatize for the final push to the summit.
The trek is complemented by the optional five day safari extension visiting some of the most renowned wild areas in the world, Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Crater.

When it was first published in 1967, The Outsiders defied convention with its immediate, deeply sympathetic portrayal of Ponyboy and his struggle to find a place for himself in a difficult world. Thirty years later, it speaks to teenagers as powerfully as ever.

How To Clean Acid From Battery Terminals
Most of us hate handling batteries and battery cables corroded with acid. I have a method that I have used and works great and want to pass it on to the members. Maybe this has already been posted but here it goes. First I brush away any loose powdery acid with a old paint brush. Removing the battery works best from here on. Mix up in a container (cool whip for example) approximately one part baking soda and four parts hot water (more or less). Take the cable ends and submerge them in the solution. Immediately it will start foaming and bubbling like mad. Keep the end in until it stops bubbling which means the acid is all off the end. Pull it out and it will look like new. Rinse with clean water and your done. If the cable can't be dipped you can use the paint brush and just brush it on till it's clean. Make sure to caught any drippings so you don't have a mess all over. You can also clean the battery box with this solution and also the top of the battery. Just rinse everything with clean water and your done.

The new adaptation is by acclaimed British playwright and screenwriter Heidi Thomas. A developmental reading will take place later this month in New York City.
A new adaptation is probably in order. While the score of Gigi is regarded as a delight — including such songs at "Thank Heaven for Little Girls" and "I Remember It Well" — the show's long been a tough proposition in modern times due to its antiquated treatment of male-female relations. The story, which tells of a bored French playboy who accidentally falls in love with a young woman who's brought up to be a courtesan, is not as straightforwardly charming and airy as it may have been more than half a century ago.
Segal seems to understand that the female audience (which, on Broadway, traditionally chooses which shows to go to) may not be in love with Gigi's male-dictated situation or fate. "Heidi Thomas has restored Gigi to her rightful place at the center of the story," said Segal in a statement, "backed by a funny, warm family of women that show the men in the world around them the finer meaning of life and love. This is 'chick lit' musical theatre!"
Some Catholics have a wonderful way of making the theatre feel topical and controversial in a way it hasn't really been in decades. Catholics were there to decry Jesus Christ Superstar when it came out. The picketed Terrence McNally's Corpus Christi for its modern telling of Jesus' story. And here they are again to protest the Broadway world premiere of Colm Tóibín's The Testament of Mary, which depicts the mother of Jesus as a solitary skeptic in the days following her son's crucifixion
The play met with protests March 26, its first night of previews at the Walter Kerr Theatre. The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property, a non-profit Catholic organization based in Spring Grove, PA, blasted the new play with banners reading, "We offer God this public act of reparation and vehemently protest against the blasphemous play The Testament of Mary" and "Blasphemers believe free speech is absolute. But there is no such thing as a right to lie... to defame... to offend God!"
A group of nearly 50 protesters, among them several children, stood across from the Walter Kerr Theatre on 48th Street, reciting the rosary and saying the Lord's Prayer. The group dispersed shortly following the start of the 8 PM performance.
The producers offered the following statement to Playbill.com regarding the protest: "The Testament of Mary explores, in a very serious way, something that matters deeply to all of us. It is neither anti-Mary nor anti-Christianity, but rather a portrait of a very human woman — a mother — who is trying to make sense of and come to terms with the tragic death of her son. We respect the right of protesters to express their viewpoint and ask that they come to our play with an open mind and let the work speak for itself."Continued...
