Public Abstract:
The promise of human embryonic stem (ES) cells is that their use could revolutionize the treatment of many human diseases for which current treatments are ineffective. Many interventional therapies will rely on the manipulation of stem cell differentiation in order to selectively produce a particular cell or tissue type. To accomplish this, we will first need to increase our understanding of lineage commitment during early embryogenesis, and define how, once cells have differentiated into a particular cell type, organogenesis is regulated, i.e. how the movement and organization of cells is controlled. During embryogenesis, cells can move in ways that are very similar to the movement of cancer cells during metastasis. That is, cells have the ability to both migrate on and degrade a mixture of proteins called extracellular matrix (ECM). An example is heart formation, where the coordinated movement of the cells that make up the cardiac crescent is followed by reorganization and differentiation, including the invasion of cardiac progenitors into the cardiac jelly (ECM) to form the valves. Our hypothesis is that the same mechanisms are used to control invasive movements during early embryogenesis and metastasis. In support of this hypothesis, we have recently found that some of the cells present in embryoid bodies (cultures of differentiated cells derived from human ES cells) express genes and contain cell structures that are found in metastatic cancer cells. In particular, genes called Tks4 and Tks5 are selectively expressed in some cells. Furthermore, our preliminary experiments with zebrafish embryos have revealed that loss of Tks4 and Tks5 leads to very early severe developmental defects, consistent with loss of cell movements. Our goal here is to dissect the control and function of Tks4 and Tks5 during early development of human ES cells in culture. Understanding the mechanisms by which movement and ECM degradation is controlled during early human embryogenesis will set the stage for determining how to manipulate these properties in the future.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Each year large numbers of Californians are afflicted by diseases such as Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, and diabetes. Stem cell therapies may revolutionize how these diseases are treated in the future. For this revolution to occur, we will need to accomplish a number of goals. For example, for each disease to be treated, we will need to be able to produce the correct type of cell or progenitor (eg neuronal cell, pancreatic beta-cell), and deliver it to the patient so that it will function correctly. In some cases, we may also want to be able to control the movement of the cells, either promoting their migration or ensuring that they cannot migrate, depending on the disease to be treated, and the way in which the cells are to be delivered. The research proposed here is part of an overall effort to understand how the movement and development of human embryonic stem cells and the more differentiated progenitors that arise from ES cells are controlled. With this knowledge, we may in the future be better able to harness stem cell therapies.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The overall goal of this proposal is to look for common signaling pathways that mediate migration between cancer cells, developing cells, and hESC, with a focus on the Tks4 and Tks5 genes and morphologically on the formation of podosomes. Tks4 and Tks5 were recently identified by the PI, and a knockout in Zebrafish shows (generalized?) developmental defects. The specific aims are (i) determine how expression of Tks4 and Tks5 is regulated (ii) determine which cells in embryoid bodies (EBs) express Tks4 or Tks5 and/or form podosomes and (iii) determine the phenotype of EBs lacking Tks4 and/or Tks5. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: There are many similarities between cancer and stem cells, both phenotypically and at the level of expression. An important similarity is migration and the ability to break down matrix in order to migrate. The expression profiles mediating migration and loss of migration are important to characterize for safe translational therapies. This work will examine proteins known to be involved in motility, and their role in the motility of hESC. It is not clear how these studies would positively impact the hESC community, clinical applications, or major problems/questions faced in the field. The proposal is not innovative as no new technologies are being developed and no new capabilities for hESC researchers will be produced. STRENGTHS: The choice of general topic - the migration of stem cells - is a good one, and one that historically has been hard to study. The relationship between cancer and stem cells also deserves further exploration. The PI presents a clear and addressable hypothesis with straightforward molecular manipulations. Thus the proposal is feasible. WEAKNESSES: While nicely organized with a cogent and reasonable hypothesis, this proposal does not seem to be responsive to the call for funding only the most important, highest impact projects within CIRM. Taken together, all the aims except 1 are relatively high risk for the short time frame, and aim 1 can certainly be done independent of hESC. The problem is that the high risk is not justified by a high gain in the way the studies are designed. For example, the second aim should come first, because if the embryoid bodies of hESC do not express the gene, the rest of the proposal does not hang together. One reviewer performed a cursory search for the gene in one publicly accessible microarray database, which revealed that the gene may not be expressed in EBs, and the PI might have done their own, more general search in other databases to firm up the support. Ironically the PI cites the "Stem Cell Matrix" microarray data at her own facility, which should have been consulted in a similar manner. In addition, the studies to look at podosome formation in-vitro and the migration of hES cells on gelatin using video are likely to fail for a number of reasons. What will the cells migrate to? If the common feature of migration in cancer and hES cells is protease breakdown of the matrix, why is that specific matrix chosen for study? There are several questions about the experimental design. Aim 1 is supposed to "determine how expression of Tks4 and Tks5 is regulated in early embryogenesis" but is really an analysis of the regulatory elements of these genes, and independent of anything to do with embryogenesis. Lentiviral siRNA expression will be used to knock down Tks4 and Tks5 expression, and the ability to knock down both together might be needed for a phenotype. That may take some time. Also, the phenotype will be based on co-expression of various markers, some for relatively undifferentiated cells and some for more differentiated cell types, over the course of 3 weeks of culture. Is one of the markers GFP for liver? DISCUSSION: There was no further discussion following the reviewers' comments.

This despite the fact that Android is clobbering Apple's iPhone and iPad in mobile-unit market share, especially globally.
Given Android's market share lead, Android should also have a greater share of mobile web traffic.
But it doesn't.
In fact, Android's web traffic is pathetically small.
As this chart from Elmer-Dewitt shows (based on data from NetMarketShare), Apple devices account for more than 60% of mobile web traffic, while Android devices account for only 20%.
Meanwhile, ecommerce sites continue to report that the vast majority of mobile buying comes from Apple devices, not Android.
So this begs some key questions:
- Who is actually using Android devices?
- Why don't they read or buy anything? (Relatively speaking)
Anecdotally, it seems that Android handsets are somewhat popular within the tech early-adopter market and in the true consumer mass market--the latter via low-end, cheaper smartphones.
The heavy-user-and-buyer end of the mass market, meanwhile, seems to be devoted to Apple.
If that's true-- if Android is mostly used by poorer middle-market consumers who don't particular care about reading or buying anything--that's a very important thing to keep in mind when assessing Apple vs. Android market share.Google as search users.
And, just as important, they're also not likely to be particularly heavy app users, which diminishes the value of Android as an app platform.
The key issue here, which has been playing out for the past several years, is what company will become the dominant mobile development platform. Tech markets tend to standardize around single platforms, and the vast majority of the value in each platform sector accrues to the dominant platform. (Apple got killed in the 1990s in PCs because Microsoft became the dominant platform).
Android is certainly amassing a dominant position in global handset market share--it now has more than 50% of the market, while Apple has less than 30%. But this market share is not helping Android with the most critical segment of the market--the folks who use the web and buy stuff.
If that lack of usage intensity extends to the app market--if Android users don't really care about using their phones as a platform to do anything other than make phone calls and send email--then Android's value as a platform will be vastly lower than its raw market-share numbers would suggest.
And that's bad news for Google.
My colleague Jay Yarow recently argued that Android is suddenly in a whole lot of trouble. This latest web-usage data clearly supports that contention.

Tribune Star Correspondent
Health insurance and year-end board appointments were the primary focus of the Daviess County Commissioners during their final meeting of 2012 Friday morning at the courthouse.
Carolyn Beck, representing SIHO Insurance Services in Evansville, presented the commissioners with an amendment to the county's health insurance plan that contained a number of changes required by The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, better known as "Obamacare." One such change involved coverage for contraception, which Beck explained following a question by Board of Commissioners President Tony Wichman.
"No, you do not have a choice on that," she said.
The amended SIHO plan also contained provisions for smoking cessation counseling and medication, and detailed changes in the names of network providers employees can use should they require dialysis treatment. Beck said the various changes "will help the plan save money and allow the employees to take advantage of deeper discounts."
Following the signing of the health insurance amendment, the commissioners reviewed a second proposed amendment submitted by Paul Williams, the county's insurance broker, changing the county's reinsurance provider. Williams said since the county is partially self-funded, reinsurance costs are critical. He added he routinely monitors reinsurance costs as a service to the county and "shops them around to try and save the county money."
By changing carriers from American Fidelity to American National in this instance, Williams said the county would save around $200,000 in the coming year. Williams' amendment was unanimously approved.
The board next addressed the need to appoint someone to the Daviess County Ambulance Board, but county attorney Grant Swartzentruber said the ordinance providing for the appointment first needs some revision. Swartzentruber went on to explain the ambulance board position is typically filled by the EMT coordinator from Daviess Community Hospital, but the hospital has since eliminated that position so he will need to amend the ordinance before the appointment can be finalized.
Wichman added he does not know of anyone actively interested in accepting the appointment but indicated that could change when the hospital board meets after the first of the year. Following discussion, the appointment was tabled until the ordinance is amended and the hospital makes its recommendation.
Regarding an appointment to the Daviess County Community Corrections Advisory Board, Wichman read part of a letter from current board member Pat Dant, who is retiring from the sheriff's department.
"I feel it is in the best interest of the board that I resign my position so you may pick someone that is closer to the daily operation of the program," Dant wrote in the letter.
Wichman told the other commissioners he would talk to the sheriff and see if he had another person in mind for the vacancy.
The Daviess County Redevelopment Commission met prior to the commissioners meeting and recommended the commissioners appoint Phil O'Haver of Washington to replace Kent Parisien on the board of the Westgate@Crane Authority Board. The Redevelopment Commission also recommended the commissioners reappoint current members Richard Cottrell and Roy Crawford. Both recommendations were approved.
Under other business, the commissioners discussed the status of the Bennington Levee repairs and agreed to recommend that the Daviess County Council transfer certain monies pertaining to the levee from insurance funds to the Riverboat Fund. County Auditor Gail Doades said the county has $30,937 in a fund to finance damage repair at the north end of the levee and $43,788 in a fund relating to the south end.
Following the anticipated transfer, the combined balance of the two funds, representing what remains of settlement proceeds from litigation in which the county was a party, will be used to satisfy final claims pertaining to levee repair. Doades anticipated most of the money will eventually be paid to Robinson Excavation and Construction LLC, the Vincennes-based contractor in charge of performing remedial work on the levee.

CB Champ Bailey and the Broncos have broken off talks about a contract extension until the offseason, according to Fox 31 Denver reporter Josina Anderson. Bailey is in the last year of his deal with the team.
"Apparently there won't be any further discussions about Champ's contract until at least after the season," said Bailey's agent, Jack Reale. "This is not our choice. This is a choice by the Broncos. We'll respect that and move on if we have to."
The way we see it
Denver historically does not like to negotiate during the season, and it may want to see how the 32-year-old Bailey plays the remainder of the year before giving him a long-term deal. Through four weeks, Bailey has eight tackles and one interception.

Our Wine of the Week, Guenoc 2012 California Sauvignon Blanc ($10), is a peacemaker, a wine that can bring together two factions that typically don't get along all that well, which is to say fans of chardonnay and advocates of sauvignon blanc. There's a plush mouthfeel to this wine that will engage chardonnay lovers immediately, and they will continue to pay attention as fruit flavors, especially pineapple, mango and white peach, blossom on the palate. At the same time, there's enough bright acid and suggestion of citrus to keep lovers of sauvignon blanc at the table.
These qualities — the plushness, the tropical fruit, the acidity — suggest you can take the wine in directions you've wanted to go with chardonnay but have avoided because of potential conflicts. Cilantro, for example, will resonate nicely with the wine, as will green vegetables — from green beans and chard to kale, spinach and zucchini. The wine is excellent with shellfish, perfect with pork tenderloin and quite pleasing with carrots, especially in a creamy carrot risotto or roasted carrot soup.
For today's recipe, I've taken inspiration from the wine's tropical qualities, which will connect with this Southeast Asian-style green curry with a satisfying flare, almost the way a fruit chutney might.
Winter Squash and Kale in Green Curry
Makes 4 to 6 servings
2 pounds winter squash, baked until tender (see Note below) and peeled
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch Lacinato kale, rinsed, trimmed and cut into -inch wide crosswise pieces
— Kosher salt
2 large shallots, chopped
6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
1 or 2 serrano chiles, seeded and chopped
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves and stems, chopped
1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
2 teaspoons sugar
— Steamed rice
If you have not already done so, prepare the squash. While it cooks, put the olive oil into a medium saute pan set over high heat, add the kale and pour in 1/2 cup water. Cover the pan and cook about

A county-wide effort to curb drunk and drugged driving during the holidays resulted in thousands of arrests, officials announced.
The Los Angeles Sheriff's Department says the 2012/13 "Avoid the 100" DUI campaign-- named for the number of law enforcement agencies that take part-- resulted in a "significant" number of arrests, at more than 2,000.
According to the department, from 12:01 a.m. Friday, December 14 through midnight Tuesday, January 1, officers arrested 2,168 individuals for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
During last year's operation in 2011/12-- which was actually two days shorter in length-- 2,433 DUI arrests occurred, LASD reported.
The arrests were all part of the special holiday Avoid the 100 campaign, in which enforcement efforts included: 72 DUI/driver's license checkpoints, 153 local DUI saturation patrols and 25 DUI warrant/probation sweeps-- all between Dec. 14 and Jan. 1. The CHP also deployed all available officers during two Maximum Enforcement Periods – Christmas and New Year's weekends.
In 2010, more than 10,000 people were killed nationwide in motor vehicle alcohol or drug-related crashes and in California 791 people died on state streets and highways. In Los Angeles County, there were 157 individuals killed.
Funding for the Avoid the 100 DUI campaign is provided through state and federal grants.
The group's next major crackdown on drunk and drugged driving will occur on Super Bowl Sunday, and again on St. Patrick's Day, the sheriff's department said.

UPDATED: Man shot with crossbow in Mission, shooter dead
A Maple Ridge man is recovering after he was injured in a crossbow attack Friday night in the parking lot of the Mission Station Grill.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m., just north of the West Coast Express Station on Horne Street, according to Mission RCMP.
The 23-year-old victim was hit in the torso and arm with an arrow and the suspected shooter, a 59-year-old man from Nanaimo, turned the weapon on himself.
Witnesses called 911 and transported the victim to the hospital. He has since been released.
Th suspected shooter was also taken to hospital, but died several hours later. A crossbow was found with the man.
"The two individuals knew each other, but their relationship is uncertain," said Mission RCMP Const. Amanda Harnett, adding the men were related, but not by blood.
The younger man was an employee of the restaurant, she added. "We're just learning now what the motive was."
Police say the incident does not appear to be gang or drug related. The case has been turned over to the coroner's office.

We're off and running in the Derby Della Madonnina. For the first couple of minutes, it didn't look like much was going to be happening at the San Siro - the ball was more or less stuck in midfield with tetchy little fouls all over the place. Inter, nominally the away side, looked marginally better, and they were the first to threaten after Mark van Bommel conceded a free kick and Thiago Motta glanced the resultant delivery into the back of Christian Abbiati's net. Fortunately for Milan, the linesman's flag was up, and the goal was disallowed for offside.
That will presumably serve as a wakeup call for the Rossoneri. They've been extraordinarily sloppy so far and will need to tighten things up in order to have much hope of breaking up Inter's scintillating form, but there's plenty of time for the hosts to get better. It's not time to worry just yet.

Dec 6, 2012A new standard for the genre. With a huge world full of surprises you could define it as the Skyrim of action games.
Nov 21, 2012Far Cry 3 is important for the same reason as Far Cry 2. It's a shooter that considers shooters thoughtfully, both in the way they're designed and the way we play them, and then asks us to do the same.
Nov 21, 2012Far Cry 3 is an exceptional FPS with fun mechanics and excellent characterization. Unfortunately it wastes a fair number of opportunities offered by its huge open-world background. Plus, the secondary activities are not as fun as they could have been, and the island is too extensive to be interesting in the long run. Anyway, this game has surprised us.
Dec 1, 2012Far Cry 3 is an excellent game, marred mainly by some irritating design elements and an inconsistent story that often defaults to generic "tribal" cliches to make an impact.
Nov 28, 2012The action is explosive, the direction of the story sequences is intense at times, but still I can't really feel at home on these islands. Far Cry 3 is the ultimate open sandbox: The player can do what he wants, where he wants it, when he wants it. But the credibility of the world suffers – and with it my motivation.
Score distribution:
Positive: 413 out of 560
Mixed: 61 out of 560
Negative: 86 out of 560
Jul 20, 2013A great game! The story was pretty decent and the environments looked amazing (people not so much tho). The world was open enough to be fun without being so large that you wound up hating it. I also liked having the freedom to choose between tackling an objective/outpost stealthily or just running in guns blazing. Thankfully, getting all of the achievements doesn't involve 100%ing the game so some of the more tedious tasks and quests can be left out which is nice. As a sidenote, the DLC is pretty meh with only the monkey business quests being worthwhile. Also, the co-op missions were pretty fun and challenging, but they are much more linear than single player and don't allow for any exploring as you play.… Expand
May 25, 2013I originally played Far Cry 3 on Xbox 360 and was turned off by its god-awful performance and graphics, months later I bought it cheap on Steam to give it another a try and I'm glad I did. If you are a graphics snob like me you will not be disappointed, I can barely run this game on Ultra and tears come to my eyes when i see the beautiful colors and sharp textures. I knocked out over 22 hours before beating it within around 3 days! I was hooked! If you like that kind of game where your exploring and ass-kicking is rewarded by gradually upgrading you until you're are practically unstoppable, then grab this. It's a refreshing take on FPS, games like this and 'Rage' just blow my mind. The story was awesome but I would have liked more cut-scenes, they were done perfectly. The characters, their motion capture and facial work, not to mention the voice acting, is downright amazing.… Expand
Dec 4, 2012An amazing game, featuring stunning visuals and gameplay..
The combat system allows you to play the game your own way, whether it be like rambo or hitman, or a combination of both himbon! and many other play styles..
The story could be strong, but its easily over looked when there is so much to do and explore..
This has quickly become one of my top 5 favorite games of all time, I would rank it up there with the GTA Series, Elderscrolls, dark souls and halflife..
The co-op adds many more ours of fun and a social immersion into the tropical island paradise/hell..
Get this game you won't regret it, definitely worth the $70!… Expand
Mar 6, 2013Farcry 3 is an amazing game, unlike Farcry 2, this goes back to more Farcry 1 setting, an archipelago called the Rook Islands. The story and characters are very interesting. Including my favorite, Vaas. Hes a badass mother that you don't want to mess with. The graphics are great, varying on what console you buy it on, i got it on pc, so i had a great graphic experience. The game play is unique and does open world stealth well. One complaint is the lousy over accurate AI. They can shoot you from a mile away! The vehicles are fun but im sad they ditched multiplayer vehicles. Speaking of multiplayer, it sucks. You get a mediocre coop campaign and a copy and paste multiplayer system with killstreaks, loadouts, and gun customization. But the campaign is more than enough to make up for these flaws and for that, Farcry 3 gets a 9/10… Expand
Apr 16, 2013I was a big big fan of far cry 1. Far cry 2 had many really good idea in it, but couldn't make it work for me.
Far cry 3 is where they made it shine. Storyline is epic, gameplay is epic (a bit repetitive), audio is epic. The hunting, the fighting, the exploration, THE BASE JUMPING! So many little things that make this game amazing and a most. Took me about 30 hours to finish the game at about 90%. (I didnt really care about the last 10%, since its super repetitive and after 30 hours I had other games to play). Ubisoft really nailed it on this 3rd one. The jungle is so beautiful, and yet so dangerous. Throw yourself head first, you won't be disappointed.… Expand
Jan 6, 2013For me this is game of the year for sure. After disappointing games like Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 3 i did not expected much from Far Cry 3. The bigger surprise was when i started playing this game. Really great sand box experience with great combat system and many side quests. Single player got also really interesting story with great characters and pretty good endings (both of em). And that´s not all, there is also a multiplayer with Co-op.… Expand
Jul 31, 2013Maybe it is because I liked Far Cry 2 so much. No maps showing everything, you had to look and listen to survive. Far Cry 3 is the opposite maps show everything. Then they added stupid mini missions.
The only way to get improvements is killing deer pigs, and dogs. Sick...
After over 200 games first one I will not finish..… Expand

For the second year in a row, a Virginia Commonwealth player goes in the first round of the NBA Draft. Sanders is an athletic shot-blocker who stands at 6-10 but has a 7-5-wingspan that made him a terror in the mid-major Colonial Athletic Association.
Sanders spent three seasons at VCU but hasn't been a basketball player that long. He showed rapid improvement in college, averaging 14.4 points his final season. He swatted 90 or more shots in each season and grabbed 9.1 rebounds a game last year.
Perhaps unfortunately for him, the Bucks will need him to produce, especially considering last season's injury to Andrew Bogut. He could be pressed into early service, ready or not.

Bank of America now has a credit card for illegal immigrants
A story in the Wall Street Journal details the new credit card quietly being offered by Bank of America. This new credit card is being offered to customers without Social Security numbers, and common sense tells us that this means illegal immigrants.
Banks already have been offering checking accounts and mortgages to "undocumented immigrants" (illegals). However, this is the first time a credit card is available to that same market.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
The new Bank of America program is open to people who lack both a Social Security number and a credit history, as long as they have held a checking account with the bank for three months without an overdraft. Most adults in the U.S. who don't have a Social Security number are undocumented immigrants.
The program was tested by Bank of AMerica last year at 5 bank branches in Los Angeles, and is now expanded to 51 branches in the area. It is no coincidence that Los Angeles County has the largest concentration of illegal immigrants in the United States.
The credit card in this new program has a high interest rate and an up-front fee. A $500 credit limit would require $99 up front, which would be refunded after 3 to 6 months if the user of the card has stayed within teh limit and made payments on time.
Bank of America has responded to criticism of the program by saying that they are meeting the needs of an untapped group of potential customers. According to the Wall Street Journal:
"These people are coming here for quality of life, and they deserve somebody to give them a chance to achieve that quality of life," says Brian Tuite, the bank's director of Latin America card operations and one of the architects of the program.
But the truth is that Bank of America is selling to a group of people who are violating U.S. law, plain and simple.

The left-hander allowed just one hit, Adam Dunn's two-out single in the fourth inning, while throwing 33 strikes in 50 pitches. Zito not only was left off the Giants' postseason roster last year, but also was the subject of a San Francisco Chronicle report claiming that management had contemplated releasing him, though he's still owed a guaranteed $64.5 million on his seven-year, $126 million contract.

Spring Training Info
Peavy, striving to overcome a shoulder injury that limited him to 17 starts last year, worked 3 2/3 innings and, like Zito, yielded one hit: Aubrey Huff's two-out, fourth-inning homer that snapped a scoreless tie. Peavy, who threw two scoreless innings last Friday in his Cactus League debut, was removed after walking Buster Posey.The Giants added three runs in the sixth inning off White Sox reliever Jeff Gray. Mark DeRosa singled and was replaced by pinch-runner Gary Brown before Andres Torres lashed an RBI double. Torres advanced to third on Freddy Sanchez's groundout and came home on Huff's single. Pinch-runner Darren Ford stole second base and scored on Posey's single. Dunn broke up the Giants' shutout with a mammoth home run in the ninth inning off Jeff Suppan, who immediately gave up another homer to Stefan Gartrell.
Up next for White Sox: The White Sox had their first look at the defending World Series champion Giants on Wednesday and follow up with the defending American League champion Rangers on Thursday for the first time this spring. The game will take place in Surprise, with a 2:05 p.m. CT first pitch and Philip Humber making the start. A split squad then gets its first look at the new Salt River Fields at Talking Stick, when it takes on the D-backs with a 7:40 p.m. CT first pitch. Gavin Floyd, Chris Sale and Sergio Santos all are scheduled to throw in the night game.
Up next for Giants: The Giants will play their first of two consecutive exhibitions on the road Thursday when they visit the Cincinnati Reds, who are managed by ex-San Francisco skipper Dusty Baker. Madison Bumgarner, the Giants' No. 5 starter who worked three strong innings last Saturday against Oakland, will make his third Cactus League appearance. He'll oppose right-hander Bronson Arroyo.

Only 25 percent of siblings will be matches for bone marrow transplants. Unfortunately, one teen in need of a match had a sibling who fell in the other 75 percent.
Back in October of 2012, Tyler Snow was diagnosed with aplastic anemia, and PNH. Both are rare diseases that affect one person in every 5 million people.
Snow can only be treated through a bone marrow transplant and has been on the prowl for a match since he found out that his brother was not a perfect counterpart. He is currently on an immune-suppressant in hopes that it will defeat what is causing his body to kill his bone marrow.
Litchfield Public School is working to help Snow as students there have created a donation fund called "Team Tyler". They presented a $1,500 check to Snow Monday and he, along with team leader Falicia Shepardson, say their community always pulls through.
"It's very rare. Nothing ever happens like this. I think that he would've never imagined something like this would happen, and no one thought it would happen to him. Knowing that everyone is behind him and supporting him is making him feel good," shared Shepardson.
"It's nice to have a good community and it's really nice to know that somebody cares. I'm coping well. There's nothing else you can do really. You just have to go through it. Push on; day-by-day. It's the only way you'll make it," stated Snow.
REPORTER'S NOTES: Following my brief interaction with Tyler, he told me he was headed to his weekly doctor's appointment expecting to go in for another treatment. About an hour later, he received word that he finally found a donor with a perfect match.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Awesome in every way. We moved here two years ago from Frisco and it is amazing how our children blossomed here. One of the best schools in DFW area.
I am the shortest kindergarten teacher that worked here from 2008-2011. I miss my K team and wish to come back to join them someday. I wish to thank the parent who posted a compliment posted on April 9 (my birthday) about Kindergarten in 2007. I love Writer's Workshop too! =)
All the teachers here are dedicated and passionate about their work. They demonstrate greate teamwork within their grade level, school, and work with parents to ensure students' successfulness.
I had several parents recommend a teacher to me and I decided to take their advice and boy was that a wise decision. Mrs. Gibson is clearly a professional teacher! I love her gentle spirit yet tough love approach to teaching! I believe requesting her to shape the mind of my little one was a great choice as I think she set a great educational foundation for my child. Thank you Mrs. Gibson! You are graciously appreciated!
Started here in 2nd grade and loved it! I had the best teacher (Sandra LupPlace) She is the best!
Horrible experience. I always felt like an outsider even in the PTA. The 3rd grade teachers were not approachable and dismissed me when I wanted to discuss bullying. I feel that if I was a certain race I would have had a better relationship with the school and teachers. I don't know why my child's teacher would ask me how long I have been in this country. I was born here and my child and I do not have an accent. Ignorant much?
This school refused to help my then first grader. The teacher treated me like a mutant and blamed any and all issues on me for having been divorced! I moved from Richardson into this school district and my son attended half of kindergarten and all of first grade there. I actually put him in Harmony Science Academy instead of making him suffer another year in this awful school! It's all well and good if your kid falls in their neat little box, but GOD FORBID you kid is gifted or has some sort of behavioral problem! My son was made to feel like a freak! Ms.Gibson sat him alone and didn't insist the other kids even show him common courtesy that all PEOPLE deserve! I was willing to think it was our situation until I moved to Harmony. My boy has absolutely no issues there, and I refuse to think much has changed with him as a person. The teachers just let him explore, invent, and USE his mind more instead of focusing on the exercise of conformity. GOOD RIDDENS!
Coming from Dallas (DISD ARGHHH) I did not know what to expect from Stinson. My youngest daughter started here in 2nd grade and had a WONDERFUL teacher (Amanda Jackson) and she made our transition into this new district easier. My daughter is now in her 4th grade year here and has not skipped a beat! Her test scores have greatly improved and she has learned so much more. The school also offers a diverse community and we love that. I would recommend to any parent that is seeking out a better public school for their children to consider Stinson Elementary, I'm glad we did!
Stinson is an amazing school. I beg to differ from the previous reviews; I don't feel at all that Mrs. Salamone isn't approachable and warm. The staff and students are all very intelligent and well-rounded, and the curriculum not only builds on academics, but also character and values. I will be attending a private school next year, and I think that Stinson gave me a great foundation to build on.
I highly recommend Stinson for the teachers, principal and programs. My wife and I are active within the school and have a high appreciation for the dedicated professionals that work there. My son maintains a high grade average and is continually challenged to excel. The school is an excellent center of learning which is reflected in the student s academic accomplishments and the state s rating of the school.
My daughter is in this school. And opposite to the previous review, I really very happy about the school direction in educating the kids. The school has put a lot of empahses on the charaterristic building- such as helping others, volunteers for higher grades kids to help lower grade kids, no-bully, no cheating, be a good citizens, obey the law.... My dayghter was in another elementary(not PISD) for a few months before attending Stinson. Stinson kids are all well-behaveevery d during the release time. The other elementary were very noisy and chaos. The school teach kids to be well-rounded. Not just academically also characterristic building to be our future model citizens. I am really happy for the kids attending the school....
I have 4 children and each have had a Stinson experience. Two are still there. I find that schools, like business organizations, take on the personality of the leader. That is the case here. The school is bland and lacking in energy and dedication to pure learning. Typically, they teach to the plan and not beyond and the teaching staff is not encouraged or pushed to do any more than the slowest, least dedicated teacher. This is a good school but not a great school. A leadership change with attention down to the grade level team leaders would serve this school well. Signed Duke
This school has dedicated teachers all with a passion for teaching, they are not in it for the money, and if they are they do a great job of masking it. They also have great after school programs like the yearly play, PASAR if you are a working parent and more. I
We could not be happier with this school. Our first grader is motivated each day, eager to learn, and challenged in an age-appropriate way. Stinson reminds me of the quality public schools I attended in the midwest in the 70s. There is good organinzation, discipline, and good parental involvement; staff are friendly (though not the students' 'friends') and seem to enjoy teaching. We love Stinson!
We have been at Stinson for 5-years. My youngest is now a third grader. We LOVE Stinson. It feels more like a big family than a school. The teachers are dedicated, organized and creative. Both of my children are flourishing academically and socially. We are very happy at Stinson.
The office staff is efficient, but unfriendly. The principal seems efficient, but no approachable. I think she wants to do a good job, I don't see children coming up to her. She is respected, but not warm. The office manager is the same. You get the picture. The teaching staff is young. Although my children have had great teachers, half of them are not at the school anymore. Stinson has been ranked by a private organization as having one of the best science programs. I believe it. I learn quite a bit helping my 5th grader. The PACE (gifted program) coordinator, Mrs.B, is absolutely lovable and cutting-edge. She pushes the students to think outside the box. I am not certain of the cause, but the homeroom teachers seem hesitant to address individual needs. They teach to the curriculuum and not more.
The principal has lacks a lot to be desired. She micromanages her staff. The building has the appearance of an office rather than a school. School work is only allowed to be hung in designated areas. When comparing to other schools I noticed that fun in learning has been removed. Each grade team changes from year to year. The big question at the end of the year is no longer which teacher do you hope your child has it has become which teacher will be back next year.
WOW, what a wonderful school. The Kindergarten team is OUTSTANDING! They really focus on each child's individual needs. They believe strongly on hands activities and not worksheets to drive their instruction. My child is learning way more than I thought he would learn in his first school experience. The Kindergarten team has a terrific writing program called 'Writer's Workshop'. My child has grown tremendously as a reader and a writer. I just can't say enough about this wonderful school.
Not good at all! We were very disappointed with the Kindergarten program. We took our child out after we saw no homework coming home. The class pace was very slow. Overcrowding was a big issue along with the teacher not having that many years of experience.
My daughter has come a long way this year! Her teacher and extra programs the school has to put focus on bringing your child to level they should be at should be is great! I was very pleased with their real participation in her academics. They care!

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (WDRB) – There's a new leader in the Big Ten. Indiana slipped back into first place by slipping past Michigan State, 75-70,at Assembly Hall Sunday in a game that was tight from start to finish.
Indiana has won six of its first seven Big Ten games. The Hoosiers sit a half-game ahead of the Spartans (6-2) and Michigan, which is 5-1 prior to its game at Illinois today.
STAT OF THE GAME: The Hoosiers showed a potent and versatile offense. They made nearly 51 percent of their shots and four guys scored in double figures, led by Victor Oladipo, who had 21.
Although Cody Zeller scored only nine points, he delivered the game's signature basket, driving from the top of the lane to score with 1:39 to play to put Indiana ahead, 74-70. Zeller also drew a charge in the final 14 seconds. Will Sheehey also continued to emerge from a slump, scoring eight points off the bench.
IT TAKES A THIEF: Oladipo doesn't lead the nation in steals, but it certainly seems as if he should after the way Oladipo picked Michigan State clean Sunday. Oladipo was everywhere – hands, legs, arms, the total package.
He had a steal and dunk on the first play of the game – and Oladipo was just getting warmed up. He was in the passing lanes, swiping dribbles, flying to the rim. The box score credited him with six steals and 21 points. He also blocked three shots.
WHERE DID THAT COME FROM? – Michigan State center Adreian Payne has never reminded anybody of Ray Allen. Or Larry Bird. Prior to Sunday's game, Payne had made three three-point shots this season and four over three seasons.
Payne came out firing against the Hoosiers. His first shot was a three. Good. His second shot was a three. Good. After that, Indiana started guarding him from the three-point line, but Payne made a third three-pointer in the second half. He finished with 18 points.
WHERE IS THE LOVE? Indiana wanted Gary Harris to be a part of the recruiting class that included Yogi Ferrell and Jeremy Hollowell. Harris had another idea. He signed with Michigan State.
Sunday was his first trip to Assembly Hall since Harris was the featured visitor at Indiana's 2011 Hoosier Hysteria. He was booed. He was taunted. He was pointed at.
Once, while Harris was shooting free throws, his mother stood behind the Michigan State bench and waved a picture of her son at the crowd as Gary made both shots.
Harris had a fine game, showing why he's one of the best freshmen in America. He made five three-pointers and finished with 21 points, his highest-scoring Big Ten game.
After the game, IU coach Tom Crean went behind the Michigan State bench to congratulate Harris' parents.
HAR-BOWL – Jack and Jackie Harbaugh must have been getting their Super Bowl game faces on. After watching their son-in-law, Tom Crean, coach the Hoosiers against Penn State Wednesday night, the Harbaughs did not attend the Michigan State game. Their sons, John (Ravens) and Jim (49ers) meet in the Super Bowl next Sunday in New Orleans.
FASHION STATEMENT: Oregon football isn't the only program that Nike takes care of. They've even given Michigan State a new team color – bronze.
The Spartans showed up in designer sneakers (bronze with a green swoosh) as well green uniforms in bronze lettering with only the Spartan logo on the front. I thought Michigan State's colors were green and white. Turns out Nike officially added bronze several years ago.
UP NEXT: Indiana plays three of its next four games on the road. The Hoosiers visit Purdue Wednesday and then return to play Michigan in Assembly Hall on Saturday night with ESPN College GameDay booked for IU. Then IU plays at Illinois and Ohio State the following week.
THE QUOTE: Michigan Stat coach Tom Izzo, before the game: "You came to see the worst 17-3 team in the country?"

It's a vicious attack inside a Tempe elevator, and it was all caught on tape. Police are still trying to find the suspect, and some of the people living in the building are just now finding out about the assault.
The assault was caught on surveillance video from an elevator at a townhome near 6th Street and Mill Avenue.
Police said he followed the victim into an elevator and beat him at 2 a.m. on August 11. He punched the victim at least 25 times and delivered several blows after the victim was already lying on the elevator floor.
He then pulled out the victim's earring and cut him with it, leaving it behind. Nothing was taken -- this was not a robbery.
Because of the suspect's stance and the way he was punching, police believe he may be a trained fighter. The victim was knocked unconscious and received facial fractures.
The victim told police he did not recognize his assailant, along with a second man considered a person of interest. Police don't know if his memory was altered as a result of the severe beating.
The elevator where it happened is the only place in the complex where a security guard isn't stationed nearby, according to residents.
Silent Witness is offering up to a $1,000 reward for anyone with information. Police are just now releasing the video because they've ran out of tips and are reaching out to the public.
FOX 10's Jill Monier talked to residents.

What a turd baby of fantasy baseball advice Karabell laid the other day when he revealed his new rankings. Wasn't it just a few weeks ago that he ranked Webb number one overall? In his recap of his rankings, he hits upon Edinson Volquez, someone he absolutely believed in a few weeks ago.Please, blog, may I have some more?
With two home runs yesterday, Ryan Braun is up to 20 HRs. Not sure I mentioned this before, but I traded for The Hebrew Hammer a couple of weeks ago. (If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!) I traded Carl Crawford for Braun.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Halladay is the vet who averages 10 innings a game. AJ Burnett is the high-paid free agent with filthy stuff. McGowan is the prospect that's on the verge of greatness, but Marcum has the best ERA, WHIP and K rate. That's right, Shaun Marcum!Please, blog, may I have some more?
Straight from Girardi, "The process has started, converting Joba to a starter, and tonight was the first [step] of extending him a little bit and we'll continue to do it, getting him up to where he can throw enough pitches." The Yanks stretching out Joba to get him ready to start by pitching 2 innings in a blowout?Please, blog, may I have some more?
(NOTE FROM GREY: Last week I sent out feelers to the top baseball team blogs to see if they would be generous enough to write a quick preview for their favorite team. So over the course of the next two weeks, mixed in with your daily fantasy info, you will get some of the most astute, in-depth coverage of teams around the major leagues for the upcoming 2008 season from the people that know these teams best.Please, blog, may I have some more?
Because things are always changing in fantasy baseball, it's impossible to do a definitive list of the top hundred overall for 2008 or for any year for that matter. Tomorrow, Pujols could announce he's having his surgery to repair his injured arm and be gone for the season or he could announce that he's having his arm replaced with an aluminum bat and he moves to number one overall.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Apple fans may have a good reason for worrying whether they'll be able to get the latest iphone.
9to5Mac and AllThingsD cite sources from U.S. carriers, reporting that the stock of the new iphone 5s will be limited when the device launches on Friday.
That's when the 5s goes on sale in 11 countries, including the United States, Canada, China, Australia, and Japan.
In China, where people could pre-order the device starting on Tuesday, news outlets report the gold models are already sold-out before it's even available for sale.
Gold and silver models will be harder to get, potentially leaving the grey models on shelves.
