When a chef reaches for a stick of butter, the staff at Mountain Town Olive Oil mourns. It's a missed opportunity to cook with extra virgin olive oil (EVOO), a much healthier and more flavorful option. That's why the EVOO connoisseurs give cooks a wide range of butter alternatives in the form of specialty olive oils. Many are tinged with unusual flavors: cayenne, basil, and, for the staunch traditionalist, even butter. The same is true of gourmet and balsamic vinegars—try the black cherry, cinnamon pear, or dark chocolate vinegars for proof.
Holy Grains churns out batches of organic, gluten-free products, including oats, rice, and freshly milled flours and mixes. More than just a source of healthy provisions, the business provides a multitude of educational opportunities, leading classes and doling out recipes that focus on the sugar-, corn-, and dairy-free sides to eating. Holy Grains also offers nutritional counseling and private coaching to those who want to take their organic diets to the next level.
A venerable textbook of sushi history, the engaging Chef Joe brings more than 20 years of Japanese culinary experience to the Mt. Fuji cutting boards. Each sushi-making class begins with the arts-and-crafts basics of fish-related construction using nori, rice, and rubber cement to build delicious rolls ready-made for consumption. Chef Joe will also clue you in on the best places to buy ingredients for three sushi mainstays: the classic california roll, spicy-tuna hand rolls, and salmon nigiri. The BYOB policy lets you alternate your detailed maki handiwork with sips of your favorite wine or beer (Mt. Fuji supplies the glasses, along with additional alcohol, which may be purchased on-site). Once you've finished exercising your chopsticks, show off your ability to shatter glass with a well-chosen Mariah Carey ballad at the restaurant-sponsored karaoke party after class.
Laila Hardman and Annie Gilbert came up with a singular vision for a culinary boutique, where shelves lined with gourmet coffees, cookbooks, and European cookware and gadgets open up into a demonstration kitchen that accommodates groups of up to 20 people. There, experienced instructors take culinary influences from around the globe and show students how to whip them up with healthy and fresh ingredients. In addition to a running packed schedule of specialty classes, they also cater to private groups for date nights or bachelorette parties.
Super Healthy Kids provides resources to create nutritious, balanced meals for growing young kids, as well as healthy practices for the whole family. Subscribers are granted access to the company's kids meal plans that contain recipes and shopping lists for seven days of nutritious breakfasts, lunches, and dinners that both healthy and delicious. Each meal plan also includes pictures, nutritional data, and a log to record newly developed superpowers.
The company's website goes beyond recipes by offering blog posts and articles on a variety of food topics for the whole family. By browsing the site's navigation menus, users can also find articles about growing fresh fruits, canning vegetables, and creating baby food purees. Those interested in family activities can read about starting an herb garden, and families looking to save some cash can study how to make smoothies at home.
If the instructors at The Kitchen were melded into one Voltron-esque chef, that chef would stand out as a culinary impresario, wielding skills in organic and vegetarian cooking, as well as pastry-making, and international cuisine. And it's a good thing that the teaching staff is so multifaceted. They lead classes that not only focus on regional cuisines, but also cooking for events such as making side dishes for football-viewing gatherings or desserts to warm up cold nights.

Developing an application that uses TCP/IP over GPRS with permanent mode
If the end user has MMS or WAP-GPRS settings active with the session mode "permanent," he or she is not able to use the application and connect using TCP/IP. This seems to happen because he or she is using the wrong gateway (MMS/WAP). Is this true? If yes, what should be changed to fix the application?
In real life, operators have multiple Access Points (AP) for their subscribers. In the usual setup there are three APs (and settings). One AP is used for WAP, one for MMS, and one for other Internet access.
The WAP AP can only be used for WAP traffic. All traffic is routed to the WAP Gateway that processes the requests and converts the data into a format that is suitable for the WAP browser of the device.
The MMS AP is used to send and receive MMS messages. All traffic from this AP goes trough the WAP Gateway as well, but usually there is a restricted access list and thus the WAP Gateway can only be used to connect to the MMSC.
The third AP is for the Internet. It can be used for any other purpose, such as your application. TCP/IP traffic goes directly to the destination without any gateway interference and this AP is also used when the device works as a modem connected to a PC (for accessing the Internet). The user cannot have multiple ACTIVE APs simultaneously in USE. This means that the user cannot browse WAP pages and send/receive MMS messages at the same time.
An AP is active when you see the letter G inside a box in the top left corner of the device display. An AP will be activated whenever an application (for example, MMS client or WAP client) requests access to the GPRS network. If there is no traffic for a certain period of time, the connection will be dropped. If the network requests, the connection can also be suspended, for example, for an incoming voice call. The session mode in access point settings defines only the used port number for the WAP connection.

The best looping GIF of Online Commentaries & Diversions:
• Review: Publishers Weekly gives a Starred Review to Messages in a Bottle by B. Krigstein. "Krigstein's stories are sometimes epic and sprawling, sometimes compressed and confined…His mastery of chiaroscuro, and his dramatic composition and layout, applied across a very wide range of subject matter, are what make this gorgeous collection so essential."
• Review: The AV Club also shows extreme love for the comics of B. Krigstein in his new collection Messages in a Bottle. Noel Murray writes, "Krigstein treated each assignment as a chance to put theory into practice, and even among EC's formidable roster of stylists, Krigstein stands out as one for whom the words around the pictures almost don't matter, because the art's so mesmerizing that it's hard to pay attention to anything else…"
• Review: The Advocate warms up to the reading of Gilbert Hernandez's Julio's Day. Jacob Anderson-Minshall writes "Hernandez is able to illustrate that those events had a global reach and dramatically impacted the lives of everyone — including the people in Julio's life…A remarkable accomplishment that is likely to find its way on numerous Best of 2013 lists and garner Hernandez more well deserved awards and accolades, Julio's Day is, at its heart, a gay story."
• Plug: Philip Nel plugs our latest volume of The Comics Journal #302 and it's interview -- the last interview-- with children's book author and illustrator Maurice Sendak. "Above all, in reading Groth's interview, it's great to hear Maurice's voice — his salty, funny, grumpy, insightful, irascible voice — just one last time."
• Review: Neal Wyatt of the Library Journal looks at the new books coming out this year from Fantagraphics. "Browsing the Fantagraphics spring catalog underscores the myriad of styles and literary approaches that graphic novelists and artists explore—be it Anders Nilsen's near metaphorical images or Dash Shaw's crowded and kaleidoscopic landscapes." He singles out Good Dog by Graham Chaffee, The Amazing, Enlightening and Absolutely True Adventures of Katherine Whaley by Kim Deitch, Lost Cat by Jason, New School by Dash Shaw ("Known for his frenetic and inventive artwork…") and The End by Anders Nilson.
• Plug: Dash Shaw appeared on Tumblr's Editorial Tumblr. He looks very nice, all working hard on comics and such.
• Plug: The Austin Public Library highlighted two of our books on their blog. On Jordan Crane's The Last Lonely Saturday, Betsey Blanche described as "The artwork is simple – drawn in mostly red and yellow – but full and effective." They also pulled out Lilli Carré's The Lagoon: "It's another haunting but beautiful book about a family, mysteries, and the power of legends."
• Review: The Comicbook Pusherman looks at 21: The Story of Roberto Clemente by Wilfred Santiago. "…as a comic it absolutely crackles. The art is stunning. Santiago clearly captures baseball's (and Clemente's) unique energy and the Americas of the '50s and '60s and most distinctly the Puerto Rico of the 30s and 40s," says Jeffrey O. Gustafson.

The wait is over. Jordan Crane's long sold-out Uptight issues #1 and 2 (plus 3 and 4) are now available via comiXology for your eyes' delight. Adult melancholia and delightful all-ages adventures go side-by-side in this versatile, masterful one-man anthology in stunning black and white detail. Each volume has its own jewels like the tragic ghost story "Take Me Home" in Issue #2. A fan of The Clouds Above? Be sure to check out Simon and Jack's continueing adventures in #4. For the low price of $2.99, you can enjoy solid storytelling and exquisitely drawn comics.
"Luscious... elegant... I fairly swooned." – The Comics Reporter
"There's something very friendly and reassuring about his drawing style. Jordan Crane is without a doubt one of the best guys in the alt comix game right now and my only criticism of him is that I wish he turned out more work. Jordan's making the comics that everyone else is trying to make but unlike them, he's succeeding at it." - Nick Gazin, Vice
"It speaks to Crane's versatility that he can pull off a slice-of-life relationship story and a fable in the same comic book." – Rob Clough, The Comics Journal


text: KENNEWICK, Wash. - Testimony during this week's trial of a Kennewick bar bouncer revealed that the victim in the case had been drinking heavily that night. Ben Ensign's blood alcohol level was three times the legal limit and he was trying to get back into Jack Didley's Nightclub after he had already been kicked out.Ben Ensign's blood alcohol level was .24 the night he was hurt outside that Kennewick bar. The Washington State Liquor Control Board said people getting to that level is all too common but they work hard to prevent it. An enforcement lieutenant said they check up on establishments sometimes in uniform and sometimes undercover. They're looking for people 'apparently under the influence of alcohol.'

Shannon Edward Payne, 37, was charged Wednesday with the murder of Maxine Carroll, 80, and her nephew Bryan Stephens, 50, who were found dead on Oct. 8 in Carroll's home at 23797 County Road 41 in Addison.
Winston County Sheriff Rick Harris said they believed Payne and Stephens got into an argument that escalated to a physical altercation. Payne allegedly struck Stephens in the face with a metal flashlight. Police say he then shot Stephens twice in the head with a .22 caliber rifle. Harris said Carroll was just an innocent victim who happened to be home when the fight broke out. She was shot once in the head with the same weapon.
Harris said Payne was dating Stephens' daughter, Samantha Filyaw, 26, who also lived at the residence. Filyaw and Payne allegedly left the residence following the shooting and were picked up by Winston County Sheriff's deputies. Filyaw is being questioned by the sheriff's office and the Alabama Bureau of Investigations, but authorities do not believe she was involved in the shooting.
Harris said Payne had a history of theft-related charges, but nothing that involved violence.
Payne was on probation and sheriff's deputies had been looking for him on a pickup order issued for a violation of that parole on the weekend prior to the shooting in Addison. Payne is currently in the Winston County Jail and being held without bond for the probation revocation and the murder charges.
Investigators from the Winston County Sheriff's Office, ABI and the Winston County District Attorney's Office have been following leads in this case since the bodies were discovered on Oct. 8 and continue to follow up on other leads in the case.

Routes Sorted

Piece of Dirt is located on the "Rat Brain" section of Poland Hill, on top and to the right as you approach. It is the first route of any substance to the right of the obvious, right-angling, Kim crack, and is an equal distance to the left of the classic and equally obvious, plumbline offwidth Fantasia. Once you get up to the Rat Brain (done by circling around to the east of Poland Hill and then following your nose up some slabs), the route will be the reasonably clear line of fairly new bolts (in 1999) following the right side of a large, semi-circular flake to a slab above.

It is often suggested by the supporters of capital, and denied by its opponents, that Fascism and Soviet Communism bore more than a superficial resemblance, says Roy Ratcliffe. Indeed, whilst fervent supporters of capital frequently declare them equivalent evils, some anti-capitalists declare them as absolute opposites. For those not stubbornly sheltering in ideological trenches or overly burdened by dualistic modes of thinking, the matter cannot be left to the partisans of either of these camps. It is undoubtedly true, that under Stalin, Soviet communism, with its one-party format, concentration camps, summary execution of opponents and total control of all aspects of life, (with the exception of industrialised gassing), shared many symptomatic elements, with the Nazi Fascists of Germany.
The question that remains to be answered, from an anti-capitalist perspective is whether this resemblance was superficial and coincidental or fundamental and related. The fact that during their ascendancy, communists and fascists fought each other with undisguised hatred and ferocity (and often still do) should not be considered a sufficient weight of evidence to eliminate any further inquiry as to fundamental and related similarities. It is sufficient to recognise the fact that some religious orders of the same overall Abrahamic denomination (Judaic, Christian and Muslim) have also fought each other with undisguised viciousness and loathing whilst sharing the same overall ideology and even the same founding documents. From this, and other cases, we can conclude that opposition and malice, even taken to the most obscene and inhumane lengths, do not necessarily cancel out any fundamental and related similarities between organised ideologies and movements. Therefore, in this contribution I wish to reflect upon two of the ideological assumptions shared by totalitarian movements – of all persuasions – for to do so sheds some light upon a important question which negatively effects the present and future anti-capitalist struggle. The ideological assumptions I refer to are those transmitted to Europe and the west via a particular strand of Greek philosophy.

Windham High School principal honored
Murphy and other state educators were honored at a ceremony at Mill Falls in Meredith on Thursday.
Murphy was cited as the top principal because he "embodies everything that is exemplary about being a principal in his capacity as lead teacher, cultivator of innovation, purveyor and disseminator of best practices, and advocate for excellent teachers," NHASP officials said.
He was proud of the honor.
"It's rewarding, and we don't expect this kind of honor as educators, so it is special," he said. "It's more a reflection on the school's progress as a whole though."
The Assistant Principal of the Year honor went to Sharon Putney of Thorntons Ferry Elementary School in Merrimack, who "not only had a positive impact on her school but has also contributed to successful initiatives throughout her district," officials said in presenting her with the award.
The Elementary School Principal of the year award went to Pam Stiles of Chichester Central School, who was cited for bringing reality to the "Follow the Child" concept.
The Middle School Principal of the Year Award was given to Kevin Richard of the A. Crosby Kennett Middle School in Conway. He was cited for promoting a positive learning culture and applying the best practices for student learning.
The group's Role Model Awards went to Assistant Principal Pamela Hill of Merrimack Valley High School in Penacook, Michael Lepene of Frances Richmond Middle School in Hanover, Jo-Ann Georgian of Sandown North Elementary School in Sandown, and Brian Stack of Sanborn Regional High School in Kingston.

MT. VERNON — The jury trial for a man and woman accused of robbing two local convenience stores within days of each other is still expected to take place in April.
Brandon Poracky, 22, and Savannah Abbott, 19, both of Rolling Meadows Estates, face armed robbery charges after their arrest Dec. 28 for allegedly robbing the Casey's General Store on South 42nd Street.
After allegedly trying to elude police in a car chase, Poracky and Abbott — who were accompanied by three young children — were arrested after crashing near a westside motel here.
Charges in the case involve both robberies.
Poracky, in court Wednesday with his attorney, Public Defender Bob Verhines, faces two counts of armed robbery — class X felonies — for his alleged involvement in the robberies of both the 42nd Street and Salem Road Casey's stores.
He is also charged with two counts of aggravated battery — a class 3 felony — in connection with the stabbing of the clerk at the Salem Road store.
On Jan. 24, Poracky pleaded not guilty to his charges. Two days later, Verhines filed a motion asking the court to try counts one and two separately from counts three and four.
In the motion, Verhines claims that since the charges of armed robbery and aggravated battery allege "separate and distinct offenses," and since the alleged offenses occurred at different times, it would be prejudicial for Poracky to have one trial on all counts, depriving him of his constitutional rights.
That motion has not yet been heard in court.
Poracky is being held at the Jefferson County jail on $250,000 bond. A motion to have that bond reduced is still pending.
Abbott, who was allegedly driving the getaway vehicle prior to her arrest, is charged with two counts of armed robbery; aggravated fleeing or attempting to elude police, a class 4 felony; and two counts of aggravated battery.
She also pleaded not guilty Jan. 24 to all charges. Public Defender Jim Henson is her attorney.
Jury selection in both trials is scheduled to begin April 11.

It wasn't looking good for Fairview.
In an early season showdown with defending Midgets champion Maryville on Tuesday at Everett Recreation Center, the Raiders were facing fourth-and-15 from just over midfield with less than a minute remaining. The Rebs held a 7-6 lead, with Fairview having spent its final timeout as Raider coach Rick Young strode out to midfield to talk with his team.
"The first thing I said to them was, 'Boys, isn't this fun?" the veteran Fairview skipper said. "I didn't want them to get caught up in the negative of the moment. I wanted them to enjoy the moment."
Oh, they would be enjoying it a whole lot a few seconds later.
On fourth down, Fairview quarterback Austin Ensley let fly with a heart-stopping, deep spiral toward the Maryville goal line. Raider receiver Chase Nuchols outfought a pair of Rebs defenders to come down with the grab at the 4-yard line, a facemask penalty on the play moving the ball 2 yards closer.
"I saw him down there, so I just threw it to him," Ensley said.
Two plays later, Ensley wedged his way through a mass of bodies into the end zone, Jaylen Nickerson's following extra point capping a stunning, 14-7, come-from-behind win for the Raiders.
To get a sense of the magnitude of the Raider victory, the loss was only the second for the Rebs and youth football coaching icon Don Sentell in Maryville's last 60 games, a run encompassing the last five seasons unbeaten.
Young, who's been at the helm of the Fairview program since 1979, said his players deserve the credit for the pass that set up the winning score.
"I felt like that play had been there all night," he said. "I really did. They had their secondary the way I wanted it. I can call the play, but they (the Raiders) have to execute it. They made a super play."
Many would say the same thing about Young, who's raised Fairview's Grasshopper, Pee Wee and Midget teams to the level of a powerhouse the last 31 years. Like the parents of many of his players, he's a former Raider himself.
Young played for one of Fairview's earliest teams back in 1969, long before the team took on the name Raiders. He credited former youth coaches Mike Talley and Charlie Headrick, who'd founded the program five years earlier, for giving the team its start.
"Some daddies got together and decided to form a community team," Young said.
The Fairview team that took the field Tuesday looked a sharp, well-drilled outfit in all respects, with uniforms styled along the lines of Maryville High School teams of the 1970s. It's a tribute to his brother, Randy, Fairview's defensive coordinator, who played for the school back in the '80s, Young said. Forty-six years ago, Fairview teams weren't quite so nattily clad, Young said.
"They played that year in helmets, shoulder pads and blue jeans," the William Blount High School teacher said.
Fairview won the Super Bowl that first year, fielding a team of only 17 players. Tuesday, 32 Raiders took the field for the game with the Rebs. Combined with Fairview's Grasshopper and Pee Wee teams, Young oversees a program that instructs 99 players, ages 7- to 12-years old.
It's a lot to keep track of, and the only way it works, Young said, is to give Grasshopper coach Jimmy Parsley and Pee Wee coach Gary Myrick complete autonomy to run their teams.
"The way we do it, I tell Gary the Pee Wee program is his," Young said, "and I'll help if asked."
That vote of confidence isn't lost on Myrick. Fairview's Pee Wee Raiders were Blount Today Super Bowl champions a year ago.
"He lets Jimmy coach his team, and he lets me coach mine," Myrick said. "He doesn't get involved unless you ask him. I like the organization and what it stands for, from top to bottom. For me, what it stands for is family.
"I like Rick's mentality; it's teaching the kids more than football. If a kid leaves my program and all he's learned its football, I've failed."
Young, whose Raiders improved to 3-0 on the season with Tuesday's win, said staying in youth football for any other reason simply isn't worth the time expenditures involved.
"I really enjoy football," he said, "and I'll do it until the day I die. I love working with 11- and 12-year-old boys. I've had teams down here that won two or three games, and I wouldn't swap them for any other team because it was fun to watch them grow up."
Young's two sons have followed him into teaching and coaching, with Jon an assistant coach with the William Blount football team, Justin a newly-hired assistant with the baseball Governors.
Jon and Justin, who both played for their father, went on to standout careers during their high school days at William Blount, but they're far from the norm. For many players, the Blount County Parks & Recreation leagues are their last stop with football. It can be enough if done right, Young said.
"If you go back and check, the majority of kids don't (go on to) play high school football," he said, "so this is their chance to be the hero."
Nuchols fit that bill Tuesday, and it wasn't necessarily on his game-saving catch.
Fairview trailed late after Nickerson's point-after try in the opening half spun out of an insecure hold and sailed wide right. Rather than run the ball across after the Ensley score, Young elected to kick again. Only 28 seconds remained, but the Fairview mentor was taking no chances with a Maryville rally.
"I was nervous," Nickerson said. "I felt like all the pressure was on me. I just prayed to God before I kicked it, and He helped me."
So, too, did Nickerson's new holder, Nuchols, who told his teammate not to sweat it.
"I said, 'There's nothing to worry about. If you miss, we just have to stop them again,'" Nuchols said.
At the snap, Nickerson split the uprights dead center.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Tuesday's clash was the complexity of the offenses of both teams. Young said he'll work in seven to eight formations during a given season, depending on the team. From those plays, the Raiders can work up to as many as 80 or 90 plays.
"The game at this level has evolved," Young said. "It's a lot different than it was 30 years ago. You can teach them more. I'll build during the season. I have more plays at the end of the season than I do at the beginning."
That kind of instruction is a big reason why Young's and Sentell's teams have won so consistently through the years, Recreation & Parks executive director Joe Huff said.
"When you look at the time they put in, that's kind of what makes the teams in this league so successful," he said. "People like Rick Young and Don Sentell, that's what makes these teams so good."
Young took a philosophical approach to Tuesday's big win. There's still much of the season to go, and the Raiders are likely to see the Rebs again come playoff time. If and when that happens, he'll approach it no different with his team than he did Tuesday, Young said.
"See those houses across the street," he said. "They don't care who's playing. They don't care who wins. It's just a game."

Changing quarterbacks two weeks into the season wasn't part of the Panthers' blueprint for success this year, but head coach John Fox decided to make a switch. He named rookie QB Jimmy Clausen the starter after Matt Moore suffered a concussion in one game and played poorly in both games.
We hear the change wasn't received well by everyone inside the organization, some of whom were hoping Clausen would get more time to watch and learn before becoming the starter. Some are wondering if the Panthers should have given Moore more time to recover from a concussion before playing him again. While Eagles QB Kevin Kolb sat out in Week Two after sustaining a concussion in Week One, Moore started in Week Two after suffering a concussion in the season opener and he completed only 6-of-16 passes for 125 yards before Clausen replaced him in the fourth quarter vs. Tampa Bay.
It was a surprisingly quick fall for Moore, who was tendered at the highest level this offseason as a restricted free agent after helping lead Carolina to a 4-1 record in a starting stint late in 2009. He was welcomed as a steady game manager after the Panthers suffered through the erratic play of Jake Delhomme, but Moore looked like a completely different player this season.
As for Clausen, he was under heavy scrutiny throughout his college career at Notre Dame, so pressure isn't a big concern for the Panthers when it comes to the second-round pick. Whether he can do more with an offense that has major problems outside of the QB position is another question.
The Panthers are confident that Clausen will do a better job of taking care of the ball than Moore, who made six turnovers in two games. One of the biggest problems with Carolina's passing game is that there is only one proven wide receiver — Steve Smith. Three of the five wideouts are rookies, and WR Dwayne Jarrett, a fourth-year veteran, has fallen to fourth on the depth chart. Those rookie receivers are going to have grow up quickly for the Panthers' offense to produce at a respectable level.

Molecular Genetic Analysis of Genetic Events Associated With Initiation and Progression of Urologic Malignancies
Characterization of the VHL Suppressor Gene Product. The VHL tumor suppressor gene is the gene for both von Hippel-Lindau disease as well as sporadic, clear-cell renal carcinoma. Germline mutations in the VHL gene predispose individuals to a variety of tumors, including renal carcinoma, CNS hemangioblastoma, islet cell tumors of the pancreas, and pheochromocytoma. The cellular transcription factor Elongin (SIII) has been identified as a functional target of the VHL protein. The VHL protein has been shown to bind tightly and specifically to the Elongin B and C subunits and to inhibit Elongin (SIII) transcriptional activity in vitro. The VHL protein is found both in the nucleus and in the cytosol of transiently transfected cells. There is a tightly regulated, cell density-dependent transport of VHL into and/or out of the nucleus. A putative nuclear localization signal, a nuclear export signal, and a cytoplasmic retention locus have been identified in the VHL protein. These findings provide the initial indication of a novel cell density-dependent pathway that is responsible for the regulation of VHL cellular localization. In order to further study the function of the VHL gene, additional studies of VHL-associated proteins have been carried out. Recently, Hs-CUL-2, a member of the recently identified multigene family, the cullins, has been shown to specifically associate with the trimeric pVHL-elongin B-C (VBC) complex in vitro and in vivo. Nearly 70 percent of naturally occurring cancer-predisposing mutations of VHL disrupt this interaction. Immunofluorescence studies show Hs-CUL-2 to be a cytosolic protein that can be translocated to the nucleus by pVHL. Hs-CUL-2 may be required for VHL function and, therefore, may be a candidate human tumor suppressor gene. We have recently developed an improved method of detecting germline mutations in the von Hippel-Lindau disease tumor suppressor gene. We currently can detect mutations in a high percentage of kindreds with this hereditary cancer syndrome (nearly 100 percent). We have also recently identified a new phenotype associated with complete deletion of the VHL gene and are studying the somatic events associated with the development of cancer in this syndrome. We hope that understanding the molecular mechanism leading to cancer will lead to the development of new strategies for early detection, prevention, and treatment.
Characterization of the Hereditary Papillary Renal Cell Carcinoma Gene. A new hereditary cancer syndrome, hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma (HPRC), has been described. Affected individuals with this hereditary form of renal cell carcinoma are at risk of developing multifocal, bilateral hereditary papillary renal cell carcinoma. Families with HPRC have been evaluated and linkage analysis has localized the HPRC to a locus on chromosome 7. The c-Met oncogene has been determined to be the HPRC gene. We have detected germline and somatic mutations in the tyrosine kinase domain of the Met proto-oncogene in papillary renal carcinomas and developed a strategy for predictive testing in this hereditary cancer syndrome. We have characterized the nonrandom duplication of the chromosome bearing the mutated Met in HPRC and demonstrated that this implicates this event in tumorigenesis.
Molecular Genetic Events Associated with Initiation and Progression of Prostate Cancer. The molecular genetic events associated with the initiation and progression of prostate cancer are poorly understood. Using a novel technique to microdissect tissue under direct microscopic visualization, pure populations of prostate carcinoma have been procured from prostate specimens. This microdissection has allowed the accurate examination of both DNA content and RNA expression in prostate carcinoma. Loss of heterozygosity at a locus on chromosome 8 in a high percentage of tumors from patients with prostate carcinoma has been detected and the area of minimal deletion on chromosome 8p12-21 determined. The identical genetic loss has been shown to be associated with prostate intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN), a precursor lesion in prostate cancer. In collaboration with scientists in the Laboratory of Pathology, a technique for recovering and analyzing RNA from microdissected prostate cancer and by differential gene expression analysis has been developed, and a novel zinc finger gene upregulated in prostate cancer has been identified. cDNA libraries have been developed from normal, low-grade PIN, high-grade PIN, and prostate cancer. These libraries will be used in the microarray analysis to evaluate differentially expressed genes involved in initiation and progression of prostate cancer.

Me and my daughter had a very pleasant stay at the guesthouse we stayed in (we were relocated to the one on MacKay Avenue/Street). The place is in zone 2 so bit away from downtown (which didn't bother us) but the skytrain stop is only 5min away and also nearby a shopping mall. Otherwise the place and area was very quiet which was perfect for us. The people from backpackers were very nice and very helpful (especially when I had problems to withdraw cash - for all english people travelling to vancouver - credit/debit cards are not working with some of the cashmashine f.e. scotia bank- the best is to have a lookout for HSBC bank).

This is a Trusted Review. Why?
We had just arrived from NZ and were booked into this Guesthouse for two nights with our son his wife and 3 children who had driven from St Albert to meet us. We were all very disappointed when we saw it. It is a shabby old house[curtains and blinds falling off the windows] with two very small kitchen/dining areas,one upstairs and one downstairs.We ate out rather than cook and eat there. The downstairs toilet did not function properly so the used toilet paper had to be put into a rubbish container next to the toilet. The rooms we used for sleeping were very hot with no air conditioning.There was no lounge apart from an area downstairs that was full of someones household contents and couldn't be used. The photos advertising this place are deceiving.The young asian couple who were either managing it or owned it,[we were never sure]assurred us it was good value and they were all like a happy family. However my husband and I were booked to stay there three weeks later for a couple of nights and cancelled our booking.We were given our deposit back.We have stayed in a number of Backpackers in the UK and found them all very good in comparison to this one.Perhaps we expected too much!

Symantec Can't Break Spending Habit
Updated from 3:32 p.m. EST
Symantec (SYMC) needs to slow down.
Addicted to acquisition-shopping, the security giant has been buying companies at a pace faster than it can integrate them.
Its $830 million acquisition of the systems management company Altiris (ATRS) comes a week after Symantec said it would cut costs to the tune of $200 million on an annualized basis to bring expenses in line with revenue.Add to that Symantec's ongoing struggle to squeeze value and growth out of its purchase of Veritas, and it raises concerns about whether Symantec may again be biting off more than it can chew. "One must wonder if it is not a better idea to fully integrate a business before acquiring a second one," says Michael Cuggino, president and portfolio manager of the Permanent Portfolio Fund, which holds shares of Symantec. Shares of Symantec closed Monday off 25 cents, or 1.4%, to $17.52. Altiris rose 20% to $32.55. Altiris makes IT management software that helps businesses manage different network based endpoint devices like laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, and storage assets. With Altiris' products, Symantec reckons its can help customers better manage and enforce security policies on different devices and protect those devices. "The contribution that Altiris will be making is that an endpoint must be well-managed, otherwise it can't really be secure," says Steve Madigan, vice president of corporate development for Altiris.

This was from a tap simply marked "Oscar" with no mention of Love or an age statement. The NB rep was also present and referred to it simply as Oscar.
"It's basically 1554 with a little less black malt." (Lauren Salazar interview, 2012).
Draft served in a footed tulip glass. Tawny reddish brown with a stray ruby highlight in the light. Thin surface layer of foam that quickly parts after a few minutes, leaving an ample ring of foam around the edges that leaves behind spotty flecks of minor lacing.
Aroma is straight up La Folie, not surprising as this is the base for blending it. Sour grapes, concord jelly, wet wood and acidic funk aromas and flavors. Puckeringly sour, it pulls the cheeks against your teeth and you can feel the acid wreaking havoc on your tooth enamel. Medium bodied with low carbonation, but it has enough spritz to give it some effervescence. Tastes very similar to La Folie might be like straight out of a barrel before blending (which is what it is). Again, not sure of the age but it was very nice to try.

the oldest of the three Oscars available, this one served in a snifter as well, beer is brown with no head, no lacing, no carbonation, no retention.
Aroma is sweet with a mild lactic flavor to it, an interesting aroma but not as vinegary as the mid, less wood too.
Beer is medium to light in body, dryer on the finish but less tart, less bright and sour, more sweetness and dark fruits presence, perhaps after three years a portion has become oxidized but there hasn't been any acetic acid production. An interesting experiment but none were as good as La Folie and the middle one was the best out of the three.

On-tap at Churchkey for their La Folie Deconstruction. This is the three year old version of the base beer used to blend La Folie. The Young and Mid are eventually blended with this to create the sour we all know and love.
A: The color has turned to a really deep dark red, clear but it's so dark you have trouble seeing through it. Again, head is lacking. 4
S: The aroma is realty different. Sour and boozy almost. A bit of must and toned down spices and malts. 3.5
T: The taste has gone basically completely to sour. It's not offensive, but it isn't entirely pleasant. I don't know what else to st, it starts sour, moves to sour, and has a sour finish. 3.5
MF: Light to medium body with a nice amount of carbonation. It's just not balanced enough. Leaves that sour aftertaste I can't quite describe. Very dry, makes your mouth water. 3
O: Same price. I would definitely say its worth it once, but not again as a stand alone beer. I did like it. It's been very interesting to see the beer develop from too sweet to too sour. I very much enjoyed trying the parts, even of they all pales in comparison. 3.5
I saved parts of all the oscars and blended them myself to much worse a result. My version was very disjointed and sweet. Oh well, it was for science!

Thousands sign petition against Target opening earlier on Thanksgiving
Retail giant Target is meeting resistance to its earlier Thanksgiving Day opening from both sides of the aisle — employees and consumers.
An online petition started by a Target employee garnered more than 165,000 signatures by Monday night in a quest to dissuade the company from opening on Thanksgiving to jump start its Black Friday sales.
Target and Toys R US both announced earlier store hours for this year's holiday. Target will open three hours earlier at 9 p.m., and Toys R US will open its doors an hour earlier at 8 p.m on Thanksgiving.
"Since workers need to show up sometimes hours before the story officially opens, this will take much of Thanksgiving away from retail employees across the country," said Casey Renee, the worker who launched "Target: Take the high road and save Thanksgiving."
"Target can take the high road and save Thanksgiving for employees like me and our families by saying no to 'Thanksgiving Creep,'" she added.
Target defended its decision to open earlier this year, telling Metro the employees who work on Thanksgiving will receive holiday pay equal to time and a half their hourly rate.
"Across the country, each store asked team members for their preferences and schedules were created to meet the needs of our team and the business," Molly Snyder, a Target spokesperson, told Metro. "Target appreciates our team's flexibility throughout the holiday season."
Snyder said the holiday season is highly competitive, with Thanksgiving weekend being one of the busiest times of the year, but even some consumers insist big box retailers have finally gone too far by beginning the Black Friday madness before Thanksgiving is even over.
"Chasing after the almighty dollar only benefits the Target CEO and shareholders who will be home enjoying Thanksgiving with their loving families," Michael Benjamin of the Bronx said when he signed the petition. "Target employees deserve the same holiday benefit."
"Saving money on products seems good for consumers, and earning money for business appears beneficial," Jenny Jiang from Brooklyn added. "But big companies such as Target earn enough money as it is, and Thanksgiving is one of the biggest holidays in the U.S., a day when employees shouldn't have to work."

The Kansas City Royals have done something unprecedented.
It isn't that they acquired Yuniesky Betancourt. They are not the first team to acquire Yuniesky Betancourt. Yuni has also played for the Seattle Mariners and the Milwaukee Brewers, who acquired him on purpose.
No - what the Royals did that was unprecedented is re-acquire Yuniesky Betancourt. Yuni, of course, has played for the Royals before, as he was traded there in 2009. The Royals have now brought him back as a free agent.
And so the Royals are the first team to have Yuni, lose Yuni, and have Yuni back. It is not the expected consequences of the transaction that I care about so much. Yuni's been signed as a backup infielder. He can make only so much of an impact. It is the thought process behind the transaction that makes me wonder.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I can kind of understand the appeal of Yuniesky Betancourt, the first time. Kind of. Maybe not quite so much anymore, but definitely when Yuni was first traded to Kansas City. He's laden with tools, he came up with an outstanding defensive reputation, he can drill the occasional longball - I can forgive a team, or mostly forgive a team, for thinking "that guy is interesting," and for thinking "we can make that guy better." Get Yuni to do more of the good and less of the bad and you have a quality player on your hands.
But the second time? After you've already been through the first time? Yuni wore out his welcome in Seattle. The Brewers didn't seem to make much of an effort to bring him back. He's not uncoachable, but he has an established history of being close to it, and no part of his game has really improved over the years. His approach still sucks. His defense still sucks. His work ethic...I don't know if it sucks, but it's never been good. The numbers suggest as much.
Yuni frustrates. And he doesn't frustrate in the way that Adrian Beltre frustrates by swinging at so many balls off the plate, because Adrian Beltre is still an overall good player. Yuniesky Betancourt is not. Yuniesky Betancourt is an overall disappointing and underproductive player.
So how could the Royals want to bring Yuni back? How could they want to guarantee him two million dollars, with the potential for more? How could they plan to play him at second base, third base and shortstop, even though he's been a shortstop for all but six of his career Major League games? Yuni has started six games at second, all in 2005. He's never played third, or at least he's never played third in a game.
The only explanation is that the Royals valued what Yuni brought when he played for Kansas City before. That they still think of him as a pretty good player, despite his having been an objectively bad Royal for a year and a half.
With the Royals, Yuni batted .253/.282/.394, good for an 82 OPS+. The batting average is acceptable, and the slugging percentage is acceptable, but, of course, the on-base percentage is unacceptable. Even from a shortstop, that is bad.
And as you know, Yuni didn't help in the field, at least according to the numbers. Do you like UZR? Yuni's UZR as a Royal was -20.9. Do you like Defensive Runs Saved? Yuni's DRS as a Royal was -32. Do you like Total Zone? Yuni's TZL as a Royal was -15.8. Do you like the Fan Scouting Report? Yuni's FSR as a Royal was -35. All of these numbers are available on Yuni's FanGraphs page.
As a Royal, Yuni was bad, and now he's older. It's not like he just had a breakthrough season with the Brewers to improve his stock, either; he posted a 75 OPS+ with more lousy defensive stats. The defensive stats were a little better than before, but still problematic.
The Royals have had this guy. He wasn't good. They liked him enough to bring him back, giving him a couple million dollars and a job he's never had. Said Dayton Moore:
"All of our people, to a man, think it will be a simple transition for Yuni," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said of Betancourt's versatility, speaking during a Tuesday conference call. "His transfer skills, his on-target throws are very, very good."
Basically, the Royals like Yuni's defense. Nobody else likes Yuni's defense. The numbers sure as shit don't like Yuni's defense. I'm reminded of the following Dayton Moore quotation, from when he traded for Yuni in the first place:
"The defensive statistics - I still really don't understand how some of those statistics are evaluated, I really don't. When you watch baseball games every single day, it's very apparent who can play defensively and who can't."
I can understand being intrigued by Yuniesky Betancourt once. I cannot understand being intrigued by Yuniesky Betancourt again, not after watching him up close for 222 games and for all the workouts in between. I don't want to convey the impression that this matters a whole lot because Yuni will be a backup and backups don't do much, but Yuni will especially not do much, and one has to be concerned about an organization that thinks Yuni's valuable, plays him, and then keeps thinking that Yuni's valuable. That's revealing.
I'm probably making too much of this, but I don't care. What a queer thing.

Jamie Moyer has been designated for assignment. This, you already know. And you are perhaps assuming that Coors Field was the culprit. It was an experiment to have the all-time leader in home runs allowed pitch in a home-run haven, and you're thinking the experiment failed.
There's where you'd be wrong, because Moyer actually pitched pretty well in Coors Field. He made five starts there and five on the road; here are his splits:
Home: 29 IP, 3.72 ERA, three HR allowed
Road: 24⅔ IP, 8.03 ERA, eight HR allowed
That's entirely backward from what you might expect. And the 11 overall homers he gave up is not the most in baseball, either; he's tied with the Reds' Mat Latos and has allowed two fewer than the Braves' Mike Minor. Except for his WHIP, Moyer has better numbers than either of those pitchers -- both of whom were expected to be solid rotation starters this year -- and his walk-to-strikeout ratio betters both of them.
Further, there are seven starting pitchers with worse ERAs than Moyer; they include Tim Lincecum and Ubaldo Jimenez, and nobody's calling for them to be DFA'd. Just because he's 49 years old, then, Moyer's seen as "done".
I think not. Here are five teams that could use his services:
Detroit Tigers
The Tigers just lost Doug Fister to the disabled list. Detroit has promoted a number of good pitching prospects to the major leagues in recent years, but young pitchers like Rick Porcello have struggled. Drew Smyly is doing fine, but apart from that, the Tigers don't have much help at Triple-A; top prospect Jacob Turner has a 5.09 ERA. They've turned to Casey Crosby to take Fister's spot in the rotation for now, but Moyer could help stabilize their staff and be a mentor to the younger pitchers. Comerica Park, in the past a tough home-run park, ranks a bit above average for homers this year, so that might give the Tigers some pause.
Cleveland Indians
Only Jeanmar Gomez and Derek Lowe have been solid performers for the Tribe's rotation this year, and Lowe just got pounded by the White Sox; his ERA soared by over a run in just one outing. The Indians have bounced prospect Zach McAllister up and down between Cleveland and Triple-A Columbus this season; he's been decent at the MLB level, but Moyer could provide some stability for the Indians. Unlike Comerica Park, Progressive Field has been one of the stingiest parks in home runs allowed this season with a home-run park factor of 0.625, the fourth-lowest in the major leagues.
San Diego Padres
Speaking of parks where few home runs are hit, Petco is where fly balls go to die. Granted, Petco Park's 0.437 home-run factor -- the lowest in baseball -- is in part because the Padres have hit only nine home runs there in 28 games (comparison point: they just hit eight in a three-game series at Wrigley Field), but also because Padres opponents have hit just 16 home runs in San Diego this year. The Padres have some decent young pitchers, but they also have Jeff Suppan in their rotation (with his 5.28 ERA and 0.54 strikeout-to-walk ratio), and just signed Jason Marquis, who posted an 8.47 ERA and surrendered nine home runs in 34 innings for the Twins. Jamie Moyer can do better than that. In fact, he did do better than that.
Boston Red Sox
Because the Red Sox always need pitching. Always, always, always. Even when they think they're healthy, someone gets hurt. Besides, Moyer knows his way around the Fenway clubhouse; he pitched for them in 1996. Among his teammates were Mike Greenwell, Mike Maddux, Dee Gordon's father, and Roger Clemens.
But to me, the team that makes the most sense for Moyer is yet another club he pitched for in the recent past.
Philadelphia Phillies
They'll be without Roy Halladay for up to two months. They missed out on bringing back Roy Oswalt. Joe Blanton has an ERA of 12.51 in his last three starts.
Why not? Moyer pitched admirably for the Phillies when they acquired him late in the 2006 season; he helped stabilize their rotation through the first four years of their current five-season playoff run. He had one of his best overall years in 2008, when he helped the Phillies to the World Series. Citizens Bank Park is a bit favorable to home-run hitters this season, but overall run-scoring is below average there (the park factor for runs there ranks 22nd in MLB).
Moyer's a Philadelphia-area native who's still popular with the fans. He can help fill in while Halladay is out, and provide insurance for any other injuries that pop up (remember, Cliff Lee has also been on the DL already this year).
It's the right thing to do, Ruben Amaro Jr. Bring Jamie Moyer back to Philadelphia to finish the season, so he can have an appropriate retirement and not have his career end by being waived or released.
