Public Abstract:
Human embryonic stem cells (HESC) can be differentiated into any cell of the body. This will allow HESC to be used to replace diseased or damaged cells. The brain is made up of mostly non-dividing cells; thus, upon brain cell death, there are no new cells that can take up the role of the diseased or damaged cells. HESC are thus of great importance for the future replacement of brain cells damaged in neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease (PD), Alzheimer's Disease (AD), Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), or multiple sclerosis. When sufficient brain cells have been killed by the disease process and no functional capabilities can be sustained, disease symptoms ensue. If cells in the substantia nigra die, patients develop PD; if cells from the basal forebrain and cerebral cortex die, they will develop AD, and if motor neurons from the anterior horn die, they will develop ALS. Fortunately, HESC can be differentiated into dopaminergic neurons (like those of the substantia nigra), cholinergic neurons and cortical neurons (such as those dying in AD), and into motor neurons (affected by ALS). Implantation of neurons of the right type into the diseased region of the brain could potentially overcome the severe symptoms of these diseases. There are two challenges when HESC are implanted into diseased brains. One is to be able to track the implanted cells; i.e. are they staying within the implanted region, or are they moving away? Secondly, will HESC remain as differentiated cells, or will they form a tumor or teratoma. To address these issues we will develop two viral vectors, one derived from HIV and called a lentivirus (LV), and one derived from adenovirus, called a high-capacity adenovirus (HC-Ad). Both vectors have been engineered to remove their toxic and pathogenic genes, and are safe for use in animals and humans. The system will work in the following manner: LV will express genes in both non-dividing and dividing cells, while HC-Ad will sustain expression in non-dividing cells, but will be lost from dividing cells. HESC will be differentiated before implantation; to be of therapeutic use they should remain differentiated, and thus, non dividing. If they do, we will detect this as imaging signals originating from both vectors. However, it will be crucial to monitor in humans whether suddenly these cells start growing into a stem cell tumor, also known as teratoma. Should this happen, we will detect an increasing signal from the LV, but will lose the signal from the HC-Ad. Importantly the engineered HESC will have a gene encoded within their genome which will allow us to kill them should they become cancerous. In summary, we propose to develop a novel tool to track the location of implanted HESC in the brain, and their growth patterns. The system will be engineered to allow imaging in experimental animals and humans, thus, being a valuable translational tool as HESC move from the bench to therapies.
Statement of Benefit to California:
The promise of harnessing human embryonic stem cells for the treatment of human disease is being stimulated in great measure by the California Initiative in Regenerative Medicine. The graying of California's population is given by the fact that this is the most populous state in the Union, and thus, subjected to the progressive ageing of our population, as seen throughout the USA. In addition, due to its very favorable climate, California is increasingly attracting retirees to its midst. As a consequence it is highly likely that due to these demographic factors, California will experience a continued increase in the incidence of serious chronic neurodegenerative disorders. Many of the diseases of old age sadly affect the structure and function of the brain. HESC's promise is to develop cells that will replace cells affected by these chronic, progressive diseases. Although sometimes diseases like Parkinson's, Alzheimer's or Lou Gehrig disease can affect patients in their late thirties or early forties, most of the patients affected by these diseases are 60 years of age or older. California's population is expected to increase by 172% by 2040, with the greatest growth being among those aged 85 and older. Their numbers are expected to grow by 200% by 2040. Thus, it is expected that by 2040 the ratio of the elderly to adults under age 65 will have increased by 80%! It is expected that by 2010 there will be close to 500,000 Californians with Alzheimer's alone, and could rise to 1,000,000 by 2040. Added to other chronic neurodegenerative diseases with increased incidence in the aged, new therapies are urgently needed. The proposed application will develop unique novel tools and technologies to track the location and fate of implanted therapeutic HESC in the brains of affected patients. In addition, the novel tools will have safety elements that will allow to monitor whether implanted HESC become tumoral, and if so, to eliminate them. In summary, work proposed in this application will provide a strong platform for the development of effective and safe HESC-based therapies for devastating chronic brain diseases. Further, the HESC and the novel viral vectors to be used in this proposal have already been generated by our team in the State of California, thus, taking advantage of the intellectual and technological know-how developed in our State.
Review Summary:
This proposal focuses on the development of novel technologies to track transplanted cells and to allow noninvasive detection of teratoma formation following transplantation. Specifically, the applicant proposes to infect cells with both an integrating lentiviral vector (LV) and a non-integrating high-capacity adenoviral vector (HC-Ad). The integrating lentivirus will be retained in non-dividing and in dividing cells, whereas the non-integrating adenovirus will be retained in non-dividing cells but lost from dividing cells such as tumor cells. These viruses will be engineered to express markers that can be detected using various imaging techniques, including the in vivo imaging methods positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The principal investigator (PI) proposes to test the system in a rodent model. Human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) containing these viruses will be transplanted into rat brains, and the investigators will try to assess survival, migration, and possible proliferation of these cells using PET, MRI and bioluminescence. Finally, investigators will validate the utility of these novel technologies by transplanting hESC-derived dopaminergic precursor cells transduced with these two vectors into a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. They plan to assess the movement and cell division of these dopaminergic cells in vivo using PET and MRI, and then confirm their imaging results with post mortem immunohistochemistry. They also plan to evaluate animal motor behavior for functional effects of the transplanted cells. The reviewers felt this was an innovative and ingenious proposal addressing a significant roadblock in stem cell biology. However, they raised some questions about its feasibility and would have liked to see more preliminary data demonstrating proof-of-principle. The reviewers praised the quality of the research team but were concerned that the PI might be somewhat over-committed. The reviewers agreed that this proposal could have a broad impact in the field. Teratoma formation by transplanted hESC-derived cells is a tremendous potential risk, so this proposal addresses an important roadblock. If successful, the proposed technology would allow for non-invasive monitoring of the uncontrolled proliferation that leads to tumor formation. It would also provide, through suicide genes, a method for eliminating such proliferating cells. Reviewers questioned whether dual virus treatment will ever be practical for clinical applications but acknowledged that viral technologies are improving rapidly. They felt that the tools generated in this proposal would be valuable even if they were restricted to animal studies. The reviewers raised concerns about the feasibility of this proposal and would have liked to see more preliminary data confirming the validity of the approach. They noted that it was unclear how many divisions would be required to dilute out the HC-Ad markers. If the number were high then the value of the technique in detecting early tumors would be limited. This issue could be addressed with preliminary data in vitro. Reviewers were also concerned that HC-Ad expression may be lost in a matter of weeks even in the absence of cell division, and would have liked to see data addressing its stability in differentiated neurons. One reviewer would have liked to see data using ferritin as an MRI marker, as this is the only HC-Ad marker of current clinical usefulness in patients. Another reviewer raised a few minor concerns with the experimental design and data presentation. The applicants describe implanting a half million cells into the target region of the striatum and using a basic amphetamine-induced rotational test to monitor behavioral changes after implantation. If the dopamine neuron line is unsuccessful in improving amphetamine-induced rotational behavior, the back-up plan is simply to administer larger numbers of cells. However, the reviewer noted that many recent investigations of transplanted human fetal cells point to an overabundance of dopamine as causal to the generation of dyskinesias in humans and in animal models. Thus, the investigators would be well served to instead consider a more appropriate implantation site as a back-up plan, like the substantia nigra, and also to use more sophisticated behavior tests such as forelimb reaching. This reviewer also noted some ambiguities in the preliminary data, including in Figure 6 where five of the images are simply identified as substantia nigra immunoreacted for TH and fluorogold. One of these images shows positive cells, but without identifying what the colors mean or what the other images might be, making the figure unhelpful. Likewise, some of the images in Figure 7, such as C and D, which are purported to demonstrate a protective effect of GDNF do not show higher numbers of cells in comparison to the vehicle, although the bar graph below does. The reviewers were enthusiastic about the quality of the research team and felt that they are clearly qualified to carry out the proposed research. Overall this is an innovative proposal from an excellent team that addresses a significant roadblock in stem cell research. However the reviewers raised some concerns about feasibility and felt that the preliminary data could have better demonstrated proof-of-principle. PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW A motion was made to move this proposal from Tier 3 to Tier 2 and recommend for funding if additional funds become available - the motioner argued that this is an innovative proposal that could have a substantial impact and bring stem cell therapies for neurodegenerative disease closer to the clinic. Panel members discussed the important issue of whether HC-Ad would be stable in the cell long enough to be useful. One member asserted that HC-Ad will stably express in neurons for as long as a year. Another panel member cited the problem of finding the rare cells that have lost the marker and asked if imaging technologies would be capable of detecting the indicated markers. Reviewers seemed to think they would. Panel members were divided on the potential clinical applicability with some arguing that it would be very difficult to get approval to put 2 vectors into humans and others suggesting that it would be possible with significant advances in vector technology. Overall, reviewers felt that the programmatic reasons for funding the proposal were strong enough to justify the scientific uncertainties regarding feasibility. The motion carried.

Original post made by Paul Losch on Sep 24, 2010
We are in a pretty typical industrial park, lots more concrete and steel than meadows and flora. I am baffled how this serpent managed to crawl across the asphalt parking areas, let alone gain entry to a building where all the doors were closed, but there it was.
On my second attempt, I was able to grab it at its tail end, march it outside and release it. The snake clearly was scared shitless, given what I had to do in the bathroom sink to cleanse my hands after letting it go.
A bucolic moment in a very commercial setting.
on Sep 24, 2010 at 4:47 pm
You activated the snake's defense mechanism, not its digestive tract. And good for you for taking it outside - it would have starved in the building.
on Sep 24, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Paul Losch, what is the issue? It did not have rattles on its tail, so end of story. Why is this a story, to you?
on Sep 24, 2010 at 5:56 pm
It's a "slice of life," nothing more. How many times have you at work in a commercial establishment had to deal with a snake? This was my first, although I encountered a few copperhead snakes, which are poinonous, when I mowed lawns in my youth in Houston. I did not pick those guys up.
I suspect that others who have lived here over the years have had encounters such as I had, thus my reason for the posting.
I appreciate that you read my blog.

It's better forma couples, with a lower price for a private room compared with others hotel. They don't answer the emails in time, when I made a little mistake with the day of the reserve, but they solved my problem when I went there. The beds is so noise and combined with the privates rooms, well, at this point you know where I am going with these report. So, if you are a person that get mad with al these sounds, this isn't a right placer 4u.

although it was a good service we could we picked up from the airport after the busses stopped for only 10 euros, the ensuite bathroom was too small, you could go to the toilet and shower at the same time. I normally don't care about bathrooms but this bathroom was really no good. Slso the reception isn't taken care of at all and there was a nasty sigarette smell in the rooms.

Not a very clean place, very cold, and we slept in a room with a big machine that made a lot of noise all night, making it imposible to sleep. You had to shower over the toilet and sink and the place was very dirty. but atleast location was good.

If we're looking for a TE for Freeman, we need a guy who is 6'6" so he can catch those terrible passes. Speedy, quick guys like Delanie Walker and Dallas Clark aren't big enough. There was at least 5 passes to Clark down the middle this year that missed by a couple of inches.

Health officials have confirmed another nine cases of West Nile Virus in Minnesota in just the past week, bringing the state's total number of reported West Nile Virus infections this year to 43, including one death.
Officials say this recent spike pushes the number of infections to the highest the state has seen in five years.
Minnesota's peak year for West Nile came in 2003, with 148 reported cases and four deaths. There are nearly 1,600 cases of the mosquito-borne illness nationwide this year.
Experts say the patients in these recently-confirmed cases were likely bitten in mid-August, but they caution residents that as far as West Nile Virus risks are concerned, they're not out of the woods yet.
Though the threat will drop along with temperatures over the next month as the cold kills the mosquitoes, officials say there is still plenty of time to get sick with a population this high.
Entomologists tell FOX 9 News the type of mosquito that carries the virus is called the Culex tarsalis mosquito, and they jump right out under a microscope due to a white band on its proboscis.
Infectious Disease Specialist Dave Neitzel says so far, the majority of infections have turned up in central and western Minnesota, but eight of 10 infected people will never know they have the virus.
"The good news is: Within a few weeks, this type of mosquito will not be biting people anymore," Neitzel said.
Still, the eggs will still be out there. Cold weather will make them dormant, but unlike the common mosquito, this species does not need rain to reproduce. Instead, any body of water-- like a swamp, pond or lake -- will do.
The elderly and those with suppressed immune systems are the most susceptible to the virus. Those who do get sick often come down with sustained headaches, fever, fatigue and a rash.
The best protection against contracting the virus is prevention. Simple bug sprays with DEET will help ward off the pests.

Students Band Together to Save Choice Grants
Under Governor Strickland's proposed budget, Ohio's college students will be stripped of $35 million in aid. Those students who will be affected by these proposed cuts have united to form a letter-writing campaign. Incoming transfer student Andres Burgos and freshman Joe Fath traveled to the Statehouse in Columbus serving as student-lobbyists to defend their Student Choice Grant to representatives and senators.
Close to 45,000 students attending an independent college in Ohio will lose $900 per year in grant aid from the state under Governor Strickland's proposed budget. This decrease in funding to the Ohio Student Choice Grant program may make a college education unaffordable for many students and cause Strickland's goal of 230,000 new college graduates in ten years to be unattainable.
Concerned individuals can visit www.SaveStudentChoice.com to see how they can help save the Student Choice grant program and to receive more information.The website enables students, faculty, parents, guidance counselors and friends to quickly compose and send an e-mail or letter to their legislators and the governor concerning this issue. Please take a look at the site and do what you can to spread the word about this campaign.

A Code Orange Smog Alert has been issued for Saturday. Smog Alerts are issued by The Clean Air Campaign when air quality is expected to be unhealthy for sensitive groups. To date, metro Atlanta has experienced three code orange alerts this summer.
To help improve air quality, The Clean Air Campaign is asking people to look at alternatives to driving alone during the warmer months when air pollution is more likely to form. In metro Atlanta, half of all smog-forming emissions come from the tailpipes of cars, so keeping your car off the road on your way to and from work makes a positive impact. Some commute options aside from the solo drive are:
- Carpooling: Share the ride – you keep pollutants out of our air and reduce traffic. You also cut your commute costs at least in half, and by using the uncongested HOV lane, you save time. Plus on days you're not driving, you arrive to work less stressed.
- Vanpooling: Vanpoolers save money on gas and car expenses and can keep 10 cars off the road every day. Plus vanpools can travel in the HOV lane, so everyone can kick back and relax (unless you're the driver). Vendors in the region provide the vehicle, insurance and the maintenance. If you're looking to join a vanpool or carpool, ARC's RideSmart database has more than 50,000 commuters looking to share the ride too. It will match you with others who work and live near you.
- Transit: Using transit for part or all of your commute means you're reducing air pollution and traffic. It can also save you money.
- Telework: Avoid traffic altogether by working from home. Teleworkers are proven to be 10-20 percent more productive than their in-office counterparts.
- Bike or Walk: Nearly 25 percent of our trips are less than one mile, and if you're not far from work, it's a healthy option. In fact, more than 20,000 metro Atlantans ride their bicycle or walk to work each day.
- Rearranging your work schedule: Instead of changing how you get to work, you might try adjusting when you get there. By driving at off-peak times, you avoid sitting in traffic and pollute a lot less. And by working a compressed work week, you can avoid commuting one day a week.

Grace Rodriguez still has a lot of emotions from the Pioneer fire, and she says this plea deal has been tough on her.
Rodriguez was an elevator operator at the Pioneer Hotel in 1970. She was 16 years old at the time, the same age as Louis Taylor.
She says she remembers that night vividly; she remembers seeing Taylor helping people get out of the burning building.
She called it a time of her life she will never forget.
Because of her memory, she was a prosecution witness, but says she thinks he didn't like hearing that Taylor helped people, so she became a witness for the defense team.
Rodriguez says now that Taylor is free, she can move on, but the whole ordeal is still a big part of her life.
"He could have easily walked out of the there but instead he stayed to help," Rodriguez said. "So these are things that I didn't hear or imagine, these are things that I saw, I witnessed, and all these years I've carried all these things that I saw that night in my heart, in my soul and in my mind."
She also wanted Taylor to know that he's a hero in her eyes, and she hopes that he can someday put it behind him.

Perry Farrell, the singer of Jane's Addiction, is said to have been inspired by Bill Graham in his vision to create the traveling festival called Lollapalooza. The headliners toured, and at each tour destination there were multiple stages and arts and crafts booths intended to promote local artists. In the past, festivals were held at a single destination; however, Farrell wanted to bring the experience to major cities across the U.S.
Bill Graham knew that the rock concerts BGP staged were unique events and by the early 1970s regularly assigned staff photographers to range the venues and capture the scenes on film. We are now pleased to present them to you as our Concert Photos collection. Incredible, slice-of-life portraits of the performers and crowds that freeze-frame an era, our Concert Photos are archival quality and are available in 11x14 and 16x20 prints (more sizes upon special request).
Wolfgang's Vault also licenses the use of our Concert Photos to television, film and other agencies for advertising and other purposes. Please contact us for more information.

Day two started with a canal cruise around the Amsterdam canals which was enjoyable. Following the canal cruise we sailed for Cologne. On arrival in Cologne there was a good included city tour which was good. Though we must say having just done an Avalon cruise in France and other European tours if another tour guide tells me the history of ionic columns and windows being followed by romanesque windows followed by Gothic windows followed by new gothic windows there may be another homicide in the world. All these tours seam to include a church or cathedral which is the oldest, best example unique in some way. Whichever city or town you are in theirs is the best in some way. On both cruises there were optional tours that you paid for where you went to olive plantations or did wine tastings etc. In all cases these were to us the best tours but were rarely included. At the port of Breisach there was an include tour to the Black Forrest. Allowing for the return trip this tour spent 3.5 hours on country roads then winding country roads that made some passengers feel a little travel uneasy. With only one stop to take photographs. The highlighted stop was a commercial cuckoo clock company in the Black forest that there were a number of Globus buses visiting at the same time. In the afternoon there was an optional tour to the City of Colmar the passengers paid for and we would highly recommend. A beautiful Alsace city with an area known as little Venice with canals. Other highlights would include the included tour to Heidelberg and the cruise through the Rhine Gorge.
The crew ere generally very helpful. There was free Wifi which was patchy but far superior to our earlier ship the Scenery. The cabins were very well kept with plenty of storage. The bathrooms were also good for the size of the ship. The food was of good quality but not much variation. Towards the end of the cruise some items seemed to run short of supply. There is a fair amount of time regimentation on these cruises which is something those people thinking of cruising should take into account in their deliberations.
In summary we did enjoy both our cruises but are unlikely to do another as we like to be more active than these are fairly sedentary holidays. Roll calls for river cruises don't appear to be very successful due to the small passenger numbers. We were very fortunate to have contact before hand with Bill and Jane from Long Island New York and had a very enjoyable time in their company.

KENNEWICK, Wash. -- Kamiakin High School senior Kyra Brannan is ready to move on to Seattle Pacific University. There she will run track and study mechanical engineering.
"When I was little I really had a passion for roller coasters. I love them, so I want to be a roller coaster designer. So that's the field I have to go into," Brannan said.
The state champion runner has a 3.47 GPA, and she is on record pace with her education.
"I go to CBC so I'm a full-time CBC student this year, so I don't go to Kamiakin basically at all. I'm in finals this week for my winter quarter. Then for spring quarter I'll have one class and achieve my AA," Brannan said.
"She's very meticulous. She's probably one of our best runners as far as form goes because she's very detailed," added Cheryl Schauble, Kamiakin girls' track head coach.
Brannan focuses on detail in everything from schoolwork to wind factors on the track.
"She weighs like four pounds, so we always laugh when there's wind in the Tri-Cities, which is every meet. We always ask, 'is the wind going to blow with her or against her?' because it does make a difference with her. So when the wind is blowing with her she's going to PR," Schauble joked.

An asteroid the size of a cruise ship — 2012 DA14 — that will bypass our planet Friday could be worth almost $200 billion, according to prospective asteroid miners.
In relative space distances, the asteroid is cutting it close to Earth — 17,200 miles, or 15 minutes, from our planet. But miners say the asteroid's orbit makes it too difficult to chase down, according to a report posted by Fox News.
Click here to watch Bill Nye, "The Science Guy," explain the effect an asteroid impact could have on the earth.
Officials with Deep Space Industries, a company that plans to mine asteroids for gold, platinum and other minerals, say the rock could contain $65 billion of recoverable water and $130 billion in metals.

Laura Trickle, of Missouri, never expected breastfeeding her newborn baby could potentially lead to contempt of court charges.
"It's been incredibly stressful; I'd like to have a little bit more understanding from the court," Trickle says.
She was summoned to jury duty in August. She asked to be exempt because she was breastfeeding her son, Axel, then 5-months-old. The judge, though, disagreed and said the court does provide a room where nursing moms can pump.
"He told me that I would be able to pump on breaks, or that I could bring a caregiver," Trickle says. "I'm a stay-at-home mom, so we don't have full-time childcare," she adds.
This week, the new mom will face potential charges of contempt...
"As far as pumping, Axel doesn't take a bottle, so that wouldn't work for us," Trickle says.
Trickle says the judge issued a court order saying she "willfully and contemptuously appeared for jury service with her child..."
Just 20 miles away in Kansas, breastfeeding women are exempt from jury duty as they are in 11 other states. We reached out to the Jackson County Courthouse for comment, but did not receive a response.
Missouri state senator and physician, Rob Schaaf, agrees with Trickle and says he is drafting legislation exempting moms who breastfeed from jury duty across the state.
Trickle's hearing is scheduled for Thursday at the Jackson County Courthouse, where she will show cause as to why she should not be held in civil contempt and ordered to pay a fine. She says she's absolutely willing to do her civic duty...she just can't do it right now.

- Very Pleasant DinnerSKDNYCDined on 7/30/2014I appreciated the off menu plain steak and french fries option for my two sons. Excellent house salad with very fresh local produce. Salmon dish was a little ambitious, but ok. Very pretty interior and welcoming outdoor porch option. Great wait staff. Overall, a very pleasant experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amherst EleganceOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/26/2014We were visiting Amherst for the weekend, the Lord Jeffery Inn was booked but we were able to dine at 30 Boltwood--such a great meal! Wonderful specialty cocktails, a gorgeous outdoor lounge area and covered porch for dining, inside the dining room is dim, cozy and inviting. The staff were friendly, small but varied menu, high quality ingredients. I had a seafood stew with a nice peppery kick, and we loved the peach galette with peppered caramel! We liked it so much we came back for brunch on Sunday--homemade oatmeal, and eggs benedict with pork shoulder---mmmmm! A real find in Amherst.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 7/25/2014We stayed at the Lord Jeffery Inn for two nights, ate at 30 Boltwood five times while there. The culinary highlight of the weekend was the Farmers Market lunch for those at the Inn on that package, but all the meals were excellent. The wine list is notable and the service especially friendly and efficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- great place for lunch!AmherstlocalDined on 7/14/2014I've dined here for dinner before, but never lunch-will definitely return! Waitstaff were attentive but not intrusive. We started with watermelon margaritas, which were refreshing and delicious. The cobb salad was not presented in the traditional "chopped" format, but was still good, served with a very light ranch dressing. There was a selection of sorbets for dessert, which were a perfect end to the meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedDinersDined on 7/10/2014Went there on a thursday night and it was busy but not overly crowded. Was going to have the duck - they were out of it, decided to try the pork loin and they were out of that, too. They only had two beers on draft. They one that I wanted - they just ran out of it. Next I had to wait twenty-five minutes for my second choice beer to be delivered to the table which was located across from the bar. The locally grown salad greens were wilted, my wife's meal did not come with the carrots that were part of her meal. The bread was delivered considerably after the salad was served and consumed. The salmon and the steak were perfectly cooked.
- A Memorable ExperiencetravtodinDined on 7/6/2014This is the second great experience I have had at the Boltwood...The Staff is amazing, well trained, very cordial, yet professional..I was entertaining a guest from Florida in her mid 80's, and I, myself, have two food allergies Gluten and Dairy and we were accommodated on all levels. We were not rushed, we had time for a lovely visit and it was a Sunday afternoon 1:15 Brunch....Thank you Thank you Thank youSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/28/2014We asked for an outdoor table a day before our reservation and the hostess said she would take care of it. I called back an hour beforehand and the host told me they had us inside. No explanation or trace of apology. Even an "I am sorry we couldn't honor your request" would have been a better response.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SublimeMikeatehereDined on 6/27/2014It was the most expensive meal we have ever had, but it was worth the experience. We were exposed to favors we had never experienced before. We've always wanted to try 30 Boltwood and we are glad we did.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not worth the pricesNutmegDined on 6/27/2014We had heard bad reviews for years but bored of our usual restaurants, we decided to give 30 Boltwood a try. The ambience was great, but the menu was small and the prices were expensive. I got the chicken. The vegetable sides were not good, but I was happy with the chicken. My boyfriend got the rib-eye and ordered it medium rare. It came out well done. He informed the server and the server replied, "Oh, do you want us to make you a new one?" My boyfriend felt bad asking for a new one because the server seemed put out. So he said not to worry about it and ate it anyway. When the bill came out, the server hadn't adjusted the price of the steak at all. We paid full price for everything. We were not impressed and will never eat here again.
- Elegant mealFlipdoggirlDined on 6/21/2014We enjoyed every scrumptious bite. Everything was prepared to perfections.Special Features:
- Great!yum1Dined on 5/26/2014Everything was amazing: food, atmosphere and staff. Would go back in a heartbeat!Special Features:
- Great Anniversary Meal!jbronner13Dined on 5/24/2014My wife and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary with dinner at 30 Boltwood. We had looked at the menu online and liked what we had seen. Upon receiving our menus we found that the proteins were all the same but the accompaniments were slightly different than listed online to reflect available local, seasonal ingredients. The wines were very reasonably priced and the portion sizes were perfect (some might consider the portion sizes small but given the richness of the food the serving size was appropriate). Additionally, the server gave us a dessert medley on the house since it was our anniversary. Our experience was excellent start to finish and we will certainly dine here again.Special Features:
- Unexpected Find!MHCalumsVIPDined on 5/18/2014Beautiful urban chic redo of a historic Inn. Food was unexpectedly reasonably priced and excellent. Presentation could use a little work.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good not greatCulinaryKateDined on 5/17/2014Lovely dining room and outdoor seating. Food was presented beautifully and three of five of us loved our meals. My husband's steak was undercooked and his eggs over cooked. They cheerfully brought him a new plate and it was much better. The eggs Benedict suffered from too little hollandaise and the pulled pork that served as the ham/bacon was bland. Desserts were yummy and innovative. I'd give the place another chance to wow me.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Too pricy for what you getBWJ3Dined on 4/26/2014The food is good, but at these prices I expect better. The outside dinning is very nice and drinks around the fire pits is a real nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic Easter BrunchMamsterDined on 4/20/2014Wonderful food and selection of entree choices. The brunch began with a buffet that we would have been perfectly content with on its own, followed by a choice of entree and dessert. My only quibble would be that the entree choices were skewed more toward dinner items (lamb) than breakfast (eggs benedict) and we were there in the morning, but honestly, if you couldn't find something you liked that would be your problem. A+++++, Would go again!Special Features:

- Food excellent, service not so muchfosterDined on 4/19/2014The Boltwood is a very nice restaurant next to Amherst College. Our reception was cordial (including letting us pick a nicer table) and the friendly female bartenders made my wife and me lovely cocktails. The food was quite tasty, esp the duck and salmon entrees and the choc soufflé for desert. Unfortunately we had a bad waiter (and in this relatively small restaurant his managers surprisingly did not pick up on this). It was nearly 20 mins before we first saw him, he exhibited little enthusiasm or knowledge when we ordered, only five of our six entrees came out at the same time for which there was no apology or even acknowledgment. Oh well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Complete EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 4/18/2014We had a terrific evening of great food and wine. Staff was friendly and welcoming from our greeting at the door, throughout the meal and then afterward, as we stayed at our table and talked, long after the check had been paid. Our reservations were for7:30, but we did not leave the restaurant until 12:00. Our waiter continued to refill our water glasses and treated us consistently for as long as we stayed. We will certainly return to this friendly place, not only for the spectacular food, but also for the friendly staff.Special Features:

- 30 Boltwood is Impressive!food4thoughDined on 4/15/2014I visited 30 Boltwood with my family and a few friends and had a great time. As a long time vegetarian who has eaten in many different settings I found the variety of vegetarian options to be quite good. The waiters were very kind and attentive to our needs, and the noise level in the restaurant was such that it was easy to hold a conversation without distraction.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great experience!JerryMcGuireVIPDined on 4/13/2014This is a great place to eat or just have high quality wine or spirit. The historical significance and story around the renovation adds to the experience. The bartender, servers, and even floor manager were delightful. All of the food was thoughtfully prepared and on point. We were in town from DC to visit Amherst College.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- birthday dinnerdinersx4Dined on 3/29/20144 of us recently visited on a Saturday evening..not especially busy..food was just ok... the portions were small for the price of the dinners $24-$32..salads extra..30 Boltwood was a topic of discussion at hairdresser yesterday...several people had gone there and they all said the same thing..not going back for above reasons.. We used to go there all the time -we liked food and pub atmosphere at Boltwood Tavern..30 Boltwood..kinda on the pretentious side for a college town. Have been there for breakfast and lunch--both meals more reasonable---if you don't get a parking ticket!Special Features:
- Yummy and LovelyDreamshopperDined on 3/28/2014The decor is lovely: warm and elegant. The food is particularly good. I am a vegetarian and had a very imaginative and tasty dish, the name of which I don't recall. However, no matter what you eat, this is gourmet. I loved the little "amuse" (a tiny hors d'oeuvre) that was brought to the table as part of their normal presentation. Go. It's worth the price, which is on the high side.Special Features:
- Dinner outOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 3/8/2014This was a special dinner out evening for two. The food and service were very good.Special Features:
- New and improvedTomFromAmherstDined on 2/28/2014We met 10 years ago for a drink at the Lord Jeff. Friday night we celebrated with a delightful meal. Everything was perfect. We've traveled to many places in the world in 10 years and having 30 Boltwood right here is a grand delight. The chief has to be congratulated it was beyond our expectations.Special Features:
- Outstanding ExperienceFrequentFoodieDined on 2/22/2014From the warm and cozy yet contemporary atmosphere to the impeccable and attentive service, 30 Boltwood is a true fine dining experience. With the freshest ingredients expertly prepared, each course stimulates all your senses. 30 Boltwood is the only restaurant in our area that rivals the finest establishments in Manhattan, Los Angeles and Paris. We will be back often!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Beautiful RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/15/2014My family and I came here for lunch after visiting the Eric Carle Museum and we were pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious!! The service was quite slow at times but it was ok because we were busy watching the snow storm through their beautiful windows. Staff was very friendly. We will definitely be back if we ever make it back to Amherst!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A Great MeallovegoodfoodDined on 2/1/2014The food was delicious and beautifully presented...the best meal I've had in the Valley in years. The whole dining experience was relaxed and nurturing.Special Features:
- Highly recommended.TheTravelingTomVIPDined on 1/31/2014From start to finish, my wife, daughter and I had an amazing dining experience...made all the more so by the wonderful and attentive staff at 30Boltwood and the soothingly-designed upscale atmosphere. Everyone here has a solicitous helpfulness that goes beyond merely practiced professionalism, and is truly friendly. On to the food: it was hard to choose from the great-sounding selections offered on the brief but varied menu. Clearly the Chef has carefully put together a variety of dishes that can be made individually as ordered...and there seemed something here that would appeal to any discerning diner. I hope it shows that we can't wait to return to 30Boltwood, because it's true!! Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bad stepARegularDined on 1/15/2014I frequently go to this restaurant and I am a fan. Typically it has innovative and delicious vegetarian dishes on the menu. This makes the restaurant a good choice when dining with both meat eaters and vegetarians. This dinner was an exception. A lovely sounding winter vegetable stew showed up not very stew-like (too dry) and with a lack of any real flavor. The combinations for the stew had great promise but the execution failed. A salmon dish with lentils was VERY salty. The dining room was hosting a group of about 8 in a small room off the main dining room. The party was VERY loud and the structure of the room magnified the sound making dinner unpleasant. Management should have requested the group quiet down. A bad night.
- My first visit to New Boltwood DinnOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 1/10/2014The most negative thing was we were to close to other dinners. No Privacy at all. Tables were to close to each other. Take out a table were this occurs & that would do it. Salads were very skimpy for the price Bread basket was excellent. Food was a little skimpy for price but very good in taste & presentation TySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Ryan Lindley holds dubious distinction, still looking for first TD pass
Take for instance last Sunday's 38-10 win by the Arizona Cardinals over the Detroit Lions. The victory snapped a season-high nine-game losing streak, but was largely the product of another tremendous performance by Arizona's defense (forced four turnovers, two returned for touchdowns).
Making his third career start in the contest, quarterback Ryan Lindley was rather uninspiring, throwing for 104 yards, to go along with one interception and no touchdown passes. Most of the offense was generated by an opportunistic defense, and Beanie Wells seemed to handle the rest of the load (career-high three touchdowns) in the red zone.
In fact, Lindley has yet to throw a touchdown in his first four career appearances, forcing some to wonder if he can even notch the career milestone in 2012.
According to ESPN Stats and Info, no quarterback since 2001 has thrown 91 passes or more in a season without connecting for at least one touchdown.
And as ESPN's NFC West blogger Mike Sando pointed out Saturday, Lindley currently holds the NFL record for most passes in a season (141) without a touchdown pass.
Lindley isn't alone though. Former Cardinal Matt Leinart also had a similar run of futility in 2009, failing to throw a touchdown in his first 77 attempts.
The task won't get any easier for the former sixth-round pick over the final two weeks of the 2012 season. Arizona faces two of the top six pass defenses in the league in Week 16 (Chicago Bears) and Week 17 (San Franciso 49ers).

Feb. 27, 2013 — Boys:
1. Fleming County (25-6)
2. Russell (25-7)
3. Ashland (22-9)
4. Morgan County (22-7)
5. Boyd County (21-11)
6. Rowan County (18-13)
7. Lewis County (15-14)
8. West Carter (9-19)
The 16th Region Tournament bracket has been released and the eight final teams in make all the cut. Fleming County continues to roll, winning the 61st District tournament. Morgan defeated West Carter by a nose in the 62nd District title game to move up a spot. Ashland and Russell won their respective districts. The best part about this year's tournament is that anybody can win it all. It should be a fun week.
1. Ashland (22-6)
2. Boyd County (24-8)
3. East Carter (24-7)
4. Fleming County (19-10)
5. Lewis County (17-12)
6. Rowan County (15-14)
7. Russell (14-16)
8. West Carter (12-17)
The odd part about the girl's rankings is that one District Champion, Russell is below the team they beat (Lewis County) for the district championship. That's the best part about this time of year because anyone can beat anyone. The top three teams stay the same, despite Boyd losing to Ashland in the 64th District title game. Fleming County moves into the top four defeating Rowan County in the 61st title game. The girls 16th Region Tournament does not kick off until Saturday where all first-round games will be on that day.
