Chargers GM A.J. always chooses his public words "meticulously", writes Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union Tribune so what he said yesterday in connection to unsigned restricted free agents Marcus McNeill and Vincent Jackson is sending a message.
"It's my understanding we have lost the services of both Marcus and Vincent for a considerable length of time," General Manager A.J. Smith said. "I certainly am taking them at their word. Therefore, I felt it was in our best interest to act quickly and secure a veteran left tackle. Tra is a talented player that brings us a wealth of starting experience. He will be added to the mix, and we will go from there."
Those words were in response to a question about whether the signing of veteran offensive tackle Tra Thomas was in connection to McNeill's reported threat that he would sit out training camp and possibly the 2010 season.
But how serious is that message?
Thomas struggled last year with the Jaguars and he was reportedly considering retirement. When GM A.J. Smith called his agent to inquire about signing him, Thomas had just returned from a sailing trip down the East Coast. If McNeill does indeed hold out through the season, Brandyn Dombrowski would be a better fit to replace McNeill.
Regardless of how serious this particular message is, Smith wants McNeill and Jackson to know he means business.

Sonic and Me
Sonic the Hedgehog is the reason I got into gaming. I'm not trying to over-dramatise that, as I'm sure if it wasn't for him there would be some other 90s mascot that triggered my lifelong hobby. But for me it was Sonic, and that means something.

I got a gallon of IH/Case Iron Guard from the IH dealer. Nowhere on the label does it say anything about hardener. I ask if the formula had been changed,only a dumb look, but he said they had not carried hardener for any IH Case or New Holland paint for 'years'.

Re: 2150/hardner
I don't have the information as to the hardener to use or how much to use, but, I seem to remember Brent in Acton, CA had used hardner with good results some time ago. Maybe check him out for the ratio, hardener, ect.
Re: 2150/hardner
I have gotten some confusing information about paint from my local IH dealer as well. They told me Iron guard in rattle cans come with hardener somehow.
I just bought another quart of IH iron guard enamel.
THe dealer also sold me reducer, and a jar of hardener!!!
I do not have the jar of hardener handy right now to verify, but I think it is Vaalspar.
There are plenty of warnings on the forum here about the hazards of hardener.
I made one of these for under $30, and it worked well. I only plan on painting this one tractor so I could not justify 400 or more to use a pressurized respirator once.

If I was going to paint a lot, I would buy a commercial pressurized respirator

Re: 2150/hardner
I painted our "M" with Valspar Restoration Series Paint, which says on the can it contains addtives to improve durability and gloss. I added Valspar hardener and thinnner, 8:1:1. Turned out fairly well. Last year I used the JD Classic green from the dealer with hardener and thinner, same ratio and got good results. I am told it is made by Valspar as well...

Re: 2150/hardner
My case dealer said the same thing about the hardner! No Case IH in Arkansas had it!!! BUT I did my homework and found out that JD Dealers sell the same brand of paint and hardner, Got my 2150 from caseIH and the hardner from JD in the sate! LOL
I think it was 1 pint of hardner for a gallon, If your good with math ya can do all the #s on it and find out how much it takes! My body paint man did my cub.

Re: 2150/hardner
The paint jobs really look nice with the hardener, but don't overlook the risks you are taking. It should not be used unless you have a fresh air supplied respirator, never use it with a simple filter mask.

to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the

Re: 2150/hardner
CaseIH Iron Gard is essentially Dupont Centari or so I have been assured by my Auto Finish pros at Universal which is now part of the NAPA family. I have been using the Centari line with the 2150 successfully for about 6 years now and it works well. The basic mix ratio is 8:1:2: 8 parts paint, 1 part hardener, 2 parts reducer.

You gotta use a decent downdraft booth or External Fresh Air system - don't take chances. I have been spraying catalyzed finishes for almost 30 years. I didn't do what I should have. I now have COPD and Pulmonary Fibrosis. You don't need that... it ain't fun

A Pinehurst musician went missing Sunday during a diving excursion off a popular beach in the Cayman Islands.
The Royal Cayman Islands Police Service says 57-year-old David Byles was last seen Sunday morning during an organized dive at Barracuda Wall off Grand Cayman's Seven Mile Beach.
Police said Monday that Byles had surfaced with his wife and they were swimming the roughly 100 yards (90 meters) back to the boat when he vanished from view. An immediate search of the area by the boat's crew failed to find him.
Since then, police divers and various other personnel have conducted marine and air searches. Private boats are helping. But no sign of the North Carolina man has been found.
Friends of Byles said he works in sales and is also known in the Pinehurst community as a drummer in a number of local bands, including Ad Nauseam, House Call, Jazz Kings and the Sandhills Community College jazz band.
Byles also previously played professionally with Herbie Hancock, friends said.
Al Hill, the senior pastor at Trinity Christian Fellowship, said David and Rita Byles are important members of the church. David is the chairman of the church council, and Rita is the office administrator.
"They are very important in our fellowship," Hill said. "We are a family and very close to one another, so this is a concern for all our community."

LaGRANGE —
In the freezing cold, tramping through the slushy streets of LaGrange, Feb. 2 were dozens of intrepid chili tasters. Groups of men in stocking caps leaned into the wind, hands deep inside their pockets. They trudged from café to store to café around downtown to have a taste of savory chili from 25 different local chili makers. It was FOCUS LaGrange's second annual Super Bowl Chili Shuffle.
A groundhog even showed up to celebrate his famously cold shadow chase with a warm scoop of chili.
Four merchants opened their doors to accommodate the chili cookers in their annual competition to win the vote and a nice fat check for having the best chili in LaGrange.
"This year we had over 148 tasters and voters," said Cheryl Albergo, chairman of the cook-off and owner of Chicago Joe's restaurant. "It was much bigger than last year and everyone seems to be having a great time."
Chicago Joe's, Courtside, Our Place and Carney Decorating were the four host sites. There was a crowd at each location. One woman was feeding a spoonful of chili to her little girl. It must have been good because the child grabbed her hand and drew it back to her mouth.
"Really, this chili is so good and it is so cold outside, I'd love to get a big bowl to go and take it home to eat at my house," said Elizabeth Bontrager as she offered another spoonful of chili to 16-month old Gaia, who responded with a big grin.
Mickey Mouse
"I got this recipe from Mickey Mouse," Jayden Boyd announced as he posed in front of his huge poster advertising his chili and his favorite place, Disney World. "It is the personal recipe of Walt Disney. I read it in my 'Chef Mickey' cookbook. I love to cook. I am a freak for Florida — so I chose the Dolphins as theme team for my chili," Jayden confessed as he passed out another sample cup to a taster.
"He cooks at home all the time," said his proud mother Ann. "Last summer we had a teenage babysitter during the day and Jayden did all the cooking. He is a good cook."
When asked about his favorite cuisine, he paused and smiled, "To be honest with you, I would have to say it is French cooking I like the best. This is my first year competing in the chili cook-off. It will not be my last."
Jayden's threats should not be taken lightly. He managed to come in second and won $150 in his first competition. Bob Brill came in third with his venison chili and said it was because his daughter Ashley insisted he enter. A former, professional caterer, Lori Fugate won $250 for first place with her white chili.
"My husband and I were tasters last year," she said. "We had such a good time. I was thrilled to win this. It was a lot of fun. I was glad my husband talked me into it. My recipe is for chicken, but I used turkey and it worked!"
Lori's winning White Bean Turkey Chili recipe:
1 lb. turkey breast, skinless, boneless, cut into 1/2 cubes
1 medium onion, diced
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2 (15-ounce) cans Great Northern beans, rinsed and drained
4 ounces diced green chilies
1 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. dried oregano
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup whipping cream
1 cup sour cream.
In a large saucepan sauté turkey, onion, and garlic powder in oil, until turkey is no longer pink. Add beans, broth, chilies and spices. Bring to boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered for 30 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in whipping cream and sour cream.
Serve, garnished with shredded cheese, diced green onions and/or sour cream.


text: Despite the excellent news that CB Terrell Thomas' ACL is not torn again and that he should be able to rehab his knee effectively and return at some point early in the season, the Giants know they have to have a Plan B at the position. The obvious choice is 2011 first-round CB Prince Amukamara, whose preseason debut this year mirrored his performance with the team since being drafted: some good but questions remain. Amukamara forced a fumble on Jaguars WR Cecil Shorts, but that was after Shorts had victimized him on a TD reception earlier in the game. Amukamara was out of sorts on that first series of the game, also getting turned around on a 29-yard catch by Mike Thomas on 3rd-and-7, but he gathered himself and performed better from there on out. Could Amukamara be challenged by third-round CB Jayron Hosley, who stood out as a corner, returner and blitzer (one sack) in the preseason opener? Not yet, we hear; Amukamara is still ahead at this point.

April 16th is National Healthcare Decisions Day. A day intended to remind you to take action and document if you want life sustaining treatments during your end of life care. The experts say the best gift you can give your family is an Advanced Directive.
Every day Avera McKennan's Social Services Manager Stacy Reitmeier does her department's version of "rounds" at the hospital. The nurses are required to ask all new patients if they have an advanced directive. If they do a copy goes in their file. If they don't and want to create one, Reitmeier and her team of social workers are sent in to help make that happen.
Reitmeier says, "When you do an advanced directive you have to be alert and competent to make those decisions."
An advanced directive is a fancy term that basically describes what you want done during end of life care. It's documented in a Living Will and a Durable Power of Attorney for Healthcare.
Avera Corporate Attorney Matt Michels says, "The power of attorney is different because you are appointing someone to make the decisions for you even though you've stated on paper what exactly you want done. A Living Will applies only when the doctor's have diagnosed you with a terminal condition, but they both have the same effect."
If you don't have a computer to print off the documents, your first stop should be the social services office at the hospital (a volunteer at the front desk will help get you there). They will give you everything you need. You fill it out. Sign it and notarize it. Bring it back to this office and they will take it to the records department and it will be part of your permanent file. A copy should also be given to your main physician or any of your specialty doctors. If you travel a lot it's also a good idea to keep one in the glove compartment.
Reitmeier says, "It takes the pressure and the burden off your family to make that healthcare decision so they know exactly what your decision is and how you want it carried out."
Michels says, "It's really a gift. It's selfless. At the very least talk about it otherwise it becomes what I call a battle at the bedside and that is not a way for this to happen."
Decide what is right for you. Then put it in writing.
Social workers recommend reviewing your advanced directive every two years to make sure your wishes are still the same and to make sure the person you appointed as your power of attorney is still capable of the task and the person best suited for the job.

Villagers install £3,000 defibrillator
11:00am Saturday 15th February 2014 in News
VILLAGERS in South Oxfordshire have installed a new defibrillator after raising nearly £3,000.
Residents of Sydenham near Thame have converted a disused telephone box in the centre of the village into the home of the life-saving equipment.
Gilly Harrison started the fundraising drive after attending a first aid course.
She said: "They were showing us how to use a defibrillator and I thought that this would be a really good thing to have in the village, seeing as we're quite small."
The fund was kickstarted after Ms Harrison, assisted by Siobhan McKee and Fiona Kermack, applied for £500 from money raised from the village fair.
The rest of the money was raised from a car wash, quizzes, cake stalls and coffee mornings.
Ms Harrison said: "In this world of 'I'm too busy', it was wonderful to see the community spirit pull together and make time to raise money for an extremely worthwhile piece of equipment.
"We put it to the villagers to raise the money and we thought it would take ages but we got the whole thing done and dusted in just a few weeks."
BBC TV presenter and Sydenham resident Lizzie Greenwood-Hughes unveiled the defibrillator last month.

Haygrove students donate £1,000 to flood relief
6:00pm Wednesday 14th May 2014 in News
STUDENTS at Haygrove School met with Mary Hancock, the vice- CEO of the local charity the Somerset Community Foundation, to donate a cheque worth £1,000.
Mrs Hancock came to the school to thank them for their fund-raising efforts, for which the money will go to the charity's flood appeal fund.
Phoebe Lane, a member of the school's student fundraising committee, said: "We really wanted to do something to help local people whose homes have been ruined by the floodwater and so we decided to run a non-uniform day.
"All the money was raised by asking students to donate £1 for the privilege of not wearing their own clothes to school."
Mrs Hancock said: "It was wonderful to be invited to meet Haygrove's young fundraisers.
"We are delighted that they were able to raise such a wonderful amount to help those in Somerset who have been affected by the recent flooding."

Historians are calling it the opportunity of a lifetime: coming soon to Nashville is the original Emancipation Proclamation document signed by President Abraham Lincoln.
Nashville is the only city in the Southeast on the "Discovering the Civil War" tour from Washington's National Archives.
The document arrives Feb. 12, on Lincoln's 203rd birthday, and will be at the Tennessee State Museum for just one week.
Museum director Lois Riggins-Ezell's love affair with history has gone on all her life, but it's a honeymoon attitude that surrounds the document soon visiting the museum she runs.
"You just can't get any closer to history. You can't get any closer to smelling the smoke of the Civil War or feeling the power of what that war defined for America," she said. "It's the piece of paper that defined who we are. It is the Emancipation Proclamation."
The decree that promised freedom to slaves 150 years ago arrives at a time when the historical hold on its author has never been hotter, thanks to the recent Steven Spielberg film, Lincoln.
But this time it's not Hollywood that's on display.
"Why wouldn't you want to come down and see it and have a moment of historical movement and emotion? Have your heart filled with joy that you live in a free country, where we shall all be free," Riggins-Ezell said.
That may be even more true for Tennesseans, considering only the commonwealth of Virginia saw more Civil War battles than the Volunteer State.
"This is a whole exhibit on discovering the Civil War, why did it happen, why should something like this never happen again," Riggins-Ezell said.
Some people have waited up to seven hours to view the Emancipation Proclamation at other stops on its tour, but the Tennessee State Museum is now accepting reservations so you can avoid long lines.
While there is no admission charge to see the document, you can make an online reservation for a specific date and time at just $1 per person by visiting: http://patron.tpac.org/events/detail/emancipation-proclamation-tn-state-museum.
The "Discovering the Civil War" exhibit remains on display through Sept. 1.

BOULDER CITY, Nev. -- A Metro Police lieutenant shot his wife and son to death Monday morning, police sources confirmed.
Henderson Police spokesman Keith Paul said 911 dispatchers received a call from a 52-year-old man who told them he had just killed his 46-year-old wife and young son and he was going to set his house on fire.
The slain wife was a former Metro police officer, sources said.
The man also told dispatchers he would shoot any police officer who tried to stop him, Paul said.
The house was set on fire and Henderson and Boulder City crews put out the blaze.
Slideshow: Police Respond to Deadly Shooting
When officers arrived to the house in the 1300 block of Esther Drive in Boulder City, the man was seen with a handgun and would not surrender, Paul said. The man, who Paul identified as a current Metro officer, went inside his home where it is believed he killed himself.
Clark County records show the home belongs to Metro Police Lt. Hans P. Walters. He was married to former Las Vegas police officer Kathryn Walters.
During a press conference Monday afternoon, Clark County Sheriff Doug Gillespie said the house belonged to a Metro lieutenant who had been with the department for more than 20 years. He said Boulder City police officers were the first to respond to the shooting and found "several" bodies.
Gillespie referred all other questions to Henderson Police, which has taken over the investigation.
The streets surrounding the house were evacuated and blocked off for several hours. People who were still in their houses weren't allowed to leave as police officers investigated.
The names of those killed will be officially released by the Clark County Coroner's Office.

The Gulf Coast of the U.S. is famous for its laid-back lifestyle, world-class seafood and friendly locals. Another aspect of life on the Gulf Coast that attracts thousands of tourists every year is Carnival season. According to The Associated Press, local businesses are gearing up for a record year.
The highlight of Carnival season is Mardi Gras, the iconic Southern festival that celebrates the eating of fattier foods prior to the commencement of Lent. In addition to the rich and tasty cuisine served throughout the festival, revelers take to the streets of New Orleans to dance and celebrate this tradition.
Officials in cities along the Gulf Coast are expecting a record-breaking year in 2013, as in addition to the large crowds that will descend on New Orleans for Mardi Gras, the NFL Super Bowl will be held a week prior to the celebration on February 3. In the week preceding the main Mardi Gras celebrations, more than 100 parades will be held in towns and cities along the Gulf Coast.
"Mardi Gras really is a shared cultural event that spans the entire Gulf Coast," Beth Carriere, executive director of the Mississippi Gulf Coast Convention and Visitors Bureau, told the news source.
According to KMOV News, a grand fireworks display kicked off the Carnival season in St. Louis, Missouri, late last week. The news source reports that the St. Louis parade is the second-largest after the New Orleans celebrations.

DAYTON, Ohio – The Youngstown State women's basketball team outscored Wright State by 19 points over the final 16-and-a-half minutes to win 66-47 on Sunday afternoon at the Nutter Center.
The game was tied at 32 with 16:35 left when a driving bucket by Melissa Thompson started a 10-point run for the Penguins that developed into a 29-7 stretch. Monica Touvelle had back-to-back 3-pointers in the 10-0 run, and Heidi Schlegel added two of her nine free throws.
The win improves Youngstown State to 15-5 overall and 5-2 in Horizon League play and sets up a second-place showdown with Detroit on Thursday at Beeghly Center. It also snapped a 10-game losing streak to Wright State, which dropped to 10-11 overall and 4-4 in conference games.
YSU also has its most overall wins and its most road victories since 1999-2000.
Brandi Brown finished with her fifth consecutive double-double, posting 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Penguins. Karen Flagg had eight points and set new career highs with 11 rebounds and three blocks, and Schlegel had 15 points and eight rebounds. Thompson also had a career-high three blocks in the contest.
Ivory James had 14 points to lead Wright State, and KC Elkins scored 11 of her 13 points in the first half. The Raiders played the game without Preseason Horizon League Player of the Year Kim Demmings.
The game had five lead changes and six ties, the final of which was at 32-32. Once a three-point play by James stopped YSU's 10-0 run, the Penguins went on a 13-0 run that was capped by back-to-back 3-pointers by Liz Hornberger with 9:09 left.
In a first half that was full of runs, YSU scored the final six points of the first period to hold a 25-23 lead at halftime.
YSU led 5-4 on a Schlegel free throw with 16:27 on the clock, but Wright State scored the next seven points as part of a 10-2 run that saw it take a 16-9 lead. The Penguins stepped up their effort on defense and held the Raiders scoreless for more than seven minutes and took a 19-16 lead on another Schlegel charity toss. Wright State's second 7-0 run of the half put it ahead 23-19 with 3:35 left, but YSU scored the final six points of the period to go up 25-23.
Schlegel had five of YSU's final seven points of the period and finished with 10 in the half. Flagg had six points, seven rebounds, two blocks and three steals in the opening period.
Elkins led all scorers with 11 points to lead Wright State.
YSU was just 1-for-13 from 3-point range in the first half, missing its first seven and its final five attempts. The Penguins, though, rebounded to make eight 3-pointers in the second half and finished with nine.
YSU finished shooting 35.4 percent while holding Wright State to 30 percent. The Penguins held a 49-33 edge on the glass, including an 18-6 advantage on the offensive end.
Youngstown State's battle for second place against Detroit will be Thursday at 5:15 p.m. as part of a doubleheader with the YSU men's team.

Classroom Designs
Enhancing classroom learning environments by design.
Furniture design is allowing today's educators to create more engaging, effective and inspiring learning environments. The importance of design principles can't be overestimated. From a psychological standpoint, classroom furniture can make the student feel welcome and embraced at her or his first glance. From a functional standpoint, the shape of the desktop can make it possible or impossible for multiple groups of six to work in within a classroom. And from a student performance standpoint, design can mean students can concentrate while seated, or be distracted by resisting restrictive furniture. Here are some design principles that make a subtle, yet profound difference in school furniture.
• Accessibility Smith System ADA Desks offer more than ADA compliance, their cantilever leg design, removes the legs on the side of the desk closest to the student for easier ingress/egress.
• Adaptability For something that lasts as long as school furniture, adaptability in is crucial, assuring the furniture offers the full range of functionality now and into the future.
• Adjustability Furniture has to be made to fit the student, not vice-versa. Our desks offer adjustability; our ADA desk offers maximum adjustability.
• Clustering Smith System pioneered clustering student furniture through new designs in desktops. Today each of our product lines offers multiple choices in cluster furniture.
• Durability Longevity is designed into Smith System furniture, through the materials we use and the craftsmanship in its construction.
• Mobility Mobile furniture is being embraced by educators. Smith System offers mobile desks, mobile school chairs, mobile storage, and mobile library shelving.
• Ergonomics Smith System furniture is designed with an understanding of the needs of students, which is reflected in the ergonomic performance of our seating and desks.
• Extensibility Extensibility adds a dimension of functionality to furniture. The customization possibilities of our <UXL™> line of furniture may be the ultimate expression of extensibility.

Funding opportunities
Agonist monoclonal antibody therapeutic activating GPR49 for regenerative medicine
Funding Type:
Early Translational III
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$1 942 380
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Advancement in our understanding of stem cell biology over the last decade has provided a tremendous opportunity to pursue regenerative medicines for diseases with unmet medical needs. We plan to accelerate the promise of regenerative medicine by leveraging our experience in conventional antibody drug development to modulate a critical stem cell pathway involved in intestinal tissue regeneration. Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), affect as many as 1.4 million Americans. IBD is characterized by a chronic relapsing course of diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss and rectal bleeding. Direct treatment costs for IBD in US were estimated at $2 billion annually in 1999 while indirect costs may be much higher. Patients struggle with debilitating symptoms for much of their adult life. While several treatment option exist, as many as 60% of patients do not respond to primary therapy or show signs of acute relapse and/or disease progression, indicating a considerable unmet need for more effective therapies. Our promising discovery work has led to a development program to achieve proof of concept for an antibody treatment to drive intestinal renewal in these diseases.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This project will benefit the citizens of California by leveraging experience in conventional drug therapies to realize the potential of regenerative medicine. This will benefit citizens in providing better treatment options for diseases with unmet medical needs. In addition, this project will provide the state with the benefit of decreased financial burden on the health care system from savings due to more effective treatments. Successful completion of the project will also support the approach of utilizing conventional drug development in regenerative medicine. This will benefit the robust California biotechnology industry by validating this strategy which could lead to additional drugs in this category or in other indications in the future. Finally, this project will benefit the state of California through job creation. Progression of our drug candidate will correlate with increased employment at our company and support contract research organizations.
Review Summary:
The goal of this Development Candidate Feasibility Award (DCF) proposal is to establish the feasibility of developing a monoclonal antibody (mAb) or mAb fragment for treatment of inflammatory bowel disorders (IBD), including Crohn's Disease and ulcerative colitis. The applicant's group has identified several high affinity mAbs that appear to target a key stem cell pathway involved in normal intestinal homeostasis. By exploiting this activity, the applicant seeks to stimulate the growth and proliferation of intestinal stem cells, thereby enabling regeneration of damaged tissues, even in the context of the hostile, inflammatory environment that characterizes IBD and related disorders. To establish proof of concept and select a lead candidate, a series of five aims has been proposed. First, the applicant will seek reproducible and robust evidence for mAb stimulation of intestinal stem cell proliferation using various in vitro (Aim 1) and in vivo (Aim 2) assessments. Next, the ability of the mAb to support intestinal regeneration in three models of experimental colitis will be determined (Aim 3), as well as the long-term contribution of such treatments to the risk of tumor formation (Aim 4). Finally, the applicant proposes to engineer a protease-resistant version of the lead mAb that could be administered orally (Aim 5). Objective and Milestones - The Target Product Profile (TPP) is scientifically and clinically reasonable but does not specify that the product must not be oncogenic, an issue of critical importance for the proposed patient population. - The objective is appropriate for the DCF award, with milestones designed to establish feasibility of the proposed development candidate for treating IBD. - While some milestones include scientifically and clinically meaningful measures of success, other metrics are vague or lacking in detail, such as those relating to the desired biological activity or the specific properties of the orally available product. Rationale and Significance - The rationale for using the proposed mAbs to modulate a receptor that is known to be overexpressed in bulk cancer and on cancer stem cells is troubling, especially for the proposed patients, who are already predisposed to developing gastrointestinal cancers and have precancerous/cancerous lesions that may be stimulated by such treatment. - It is not clear that stimulation of intestinal stem cell activity by the proposed therapeutic would be sufficient to ameliorate the causes or symptoms of IBD, for which underlying factors such as immune-related chronic inflammation, fibrosis, and intestinal flora may play roles. If the underlying cause is not resolved, the proposed intervention may need to be administered over extended periods, a further safety risk to the vulnerable IBD patient population. - Inflammatory bowel disease, a chronic and potentially debilitating condition that affects over a million Americans, represents an important health problem and unmet medical need. Research Project Feasibility and Design - The preliminary data are only minimally supportive of the proposed research. Evidence for mAb specificity and agonist activity against the designated receptor were not convincing due to a lack of key controls and a paucity of experimental details, such as the nature of the antigen used for mAb derivation, and whether the antibodies recognize their murine counterpart. - The research plan is straightforward but lacking in experimental details. While potential pitfalls are discussed, there is little consideration given to alternative approaches should they become necessary. Moreover, no measures were provided to determine whether project milestones could be reasonably achieved within the three-year timeline. - The plan to evaluate tumorigenicity (Milestone 4) in the colitis model is risky and inefficient. Given the propensity of the targeted patient population to develop cancers, reviewers suggested a more expedient and appropriate safety assessment could be achieved by further testing 1) whether the mAbs stimulate colon/gastric cancer cell lines in culture; and 2) whether they facilitate polyps or pre-existing tumors in xenograft or other mouse models. - The proposed use of three independent IBD models to test mAb activity is well considered, but results would be more meaningful if plans were included to systematically evaluate the effects of mAbs on normal stem cells and ensure that mAb are actually reaching the diseased tissues in all in vivo functional assessments. - The timeline allocated to engineering the mAb for oral availability appears unrealistic. As the engineered structure might give different results than the standard antibody, a reviewer suggested it might be prudent to first test/validate the full mAb in vitro, and then proceed with the engineering plans. Full efficacy testing in the three models could then be undertaken using the oral drug candidate. - Use of the appropriate antibody isotype should be accounted for and integrated into the research plan to avoid potential tissue damage from antibody-dependent cell–mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC) or complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). Qualification of the PI (Co-PI and Partner PI, if applicable) and Research Team - The PI, who has expertise in protein chemistry, cell biology and drug discovery, is qualified to oversee this project. While relatively early in his/her career, he/she is the founder of the applicant institution and has engaged an excellent panel of advisors. - The primary members of the research team appear qualified to conduct the proposed studies. Inclusion of an expert in cancer stem cell biology would strengthen the team. - The budget appears heavily allocated towards personnel, whose efforts might be adjusted to reduce overall costs. Collaborations, Assets, Resources and Environment - The project benefits substantially from the presence of two key collaborators, including a world authority on intestinal stem cell biology and discoverer of the receptor targeted by the proposed therapeutic. - No obvious plan for communication between collaborators is described, and no letters of support were provided. - The applicant institution is well situated and adequately resourced. Responsiveness to the RFA - The proposed research adequately and appropriately addresses the objectives of the RFA. - The proposed intervention is not currently represented in CIRM's translational portfolio.

What is Real Time Traffic information (RTTI)?
Real Time Traffic information (RTTI) is encoded and broadcast as digital data by certain FM radio stations in 80 metropolitan areas. The traffic information is received by a separate tuner included in the radio of BMWs equipped with the service and then displayed on the navigation system. You do not need to listen to a specific radio station to receive the traffic information, as the additional, dedicated tuner automatically scans for the appropriate station, even if the radio is turned off. The navigation system calculates the best route considering the traffic incidents and potential delays. Traffic events in the area are shown as icons on the map display; those on your route have a yellow background. Details about the traffic events are also displayed as descriptive text in the "Traffic Info" menu.
What are the key benefits of RTTI?
1. You don't have to listen to traffic reports on radio stations to be in the know about the traffic situation. Instead, listen to music, audio books, and talk shows or even just turn off the radio.
2. You reach your destination more relaxed and faster, as your trip is streamlined with up-to- date traffic information.
3. RTTI transforms the navigation system from an option that is primarily used when you're lost or going to an unknown destination to a benefit that improves your daily driving experience.
Where does the real time traffic information come from?
The information that is broadcast is compiled from many different sources including sensors embedded in highways, cameras on bridges and local traffic monitoring centers. When a traffic event is reported, it is normally broadcast within minutes.
Is there a difference between the RTTI data and normal radio traffic reports?
Generally the information that is reported audibly on the radio and the information delivered through your BMW Navigation system will be similar. However, radio reports are limited by several factors including:
1. The spoken radio reports are limited to a certain length of time, often only at pre-determined times of day. Only a small percentage of actual traffic issues will typically be reported through this system.
2. The RTTI information is automatically interpreted by the BMW Navigation system and allows you to view traffic events that are relevant to your route and near your location.
3. The RTTI system will continuously relay real time information, whereas radio reports must wait for the scheduled time to report the information, regardless of when the events take place.
Where is traffic data available?
Current RTTI coverage maps are available on the
Metro Area Coverage page
Which BMW vehicles receive RTTI?
RTTI is standard on 2007 and later 6 Series, M5 and M6 produced 9/06 and later, 2009 and later 7 Series and included with the optional BMW Navigation system on 2009 and later Z4, 2008 and later X6 and 1 Series, 2007 and later 3 Series, X5 SAV, and 5 Series models produced September 2006 or later. Vehicles produced prior to 3/2007 with both the BMW Navigation system and HD Radio do not receive RTTI.
Why is RTTI not available for the X3?
This vehicle's BMW Navigation systems are based on hardware and software that doesn't support RTTI. Retrofitting RTTI is not possible. When this model is replaced with a new design, RTTI may be made available.
How much does RTTI cost?
There is no activation fee or recurring monthly charges. The cost to provide RTTI is included in the BMW Navigation system price. The RTTI service will be provided for a minimum of 4 years from the purchase or lease of your BMW. After the four year term, the service will continue to be provided at no additional charge as long as BMW continues its contractual relationship with its current RTTI service provider.
Is a special map DVD required for the navigation system?
Yes. It is required to have the navigation map DVD version 2007.1 or later installed in your BMW. This map DVD was initially available as of September 2006. For optimum performance, always install the latest map DVD release. 2009 and later 1, 3 and 7 Series as well as the Z4 incorporate the map data on an integrated hard drive. Visit your BMW center for periodic updates.
Is it possible to retrofit a BMW with the RTTI feature?
No. Currently, it is not possible to retrofit earlier model vehicles with RTTI.
How do I access RTTI?
1. During route guidance, when a destination or point of interest is entered:
A) If "Dynamic route" (in the route criteria menu) is checked, the navigation system automatically takes RTTI data into consideration and calculates a route through traffic. The main route criterion (e.g. "Fast Route") stays active.
B) If "Dynamic route" (in the route criteria menu) is not checked, the navigation system informs the driver if there is a traffic incident on the route and offers a detour if the calculated delay is greater than 5 minutes.
2. Without route guidance active: RTTI data can be displayed under the "Navigation" menu. Select "Traffic Info" to the list of received traffic incidents, sorted by distance from your current location.
Is there audible warning about the traffic incidents?
If "Dynamic route" is checked, the system will inform you with an audible warning if there is at least one traffic incident on your route and will provide the information that an alternate route through traffic is being calculated.
If "Dynamic route" is not checked, the system will give an audible warning at the last chance to exit and to change the route. Simultaneously, the control display will show the detour option. Select "Detour" by pressing the controller and the BMW Navigation system will recalculate the route to attempt to avoid the congestion.
What is the meaning of the arrows and icons in the map view and traffic incident detail view?
Traffic icons are displayed within a diamond shaped symbol with white or yellow background. Diamonds with only a white background and diamonds with arrows indicate the map scale is too large to display the detailed icons or there may be multiple events close to each other. An arrow indicates the general direction of the traffic back-up. To see more details, simply zoom in on the map display.
Please see the following list for a description of each icon. The map view may show slightly different icons due to resolution differences.

The icons appear on a white background if the incident is off the planned route, a yellow background indicates incidents are on the planned route.
The small black arrows located on the roads indicate the relative speed and direction of moving traffic.
In the station list under Traffic Information settings, the station name is not displayed. Instead, there is Local-No. or something else. Why?
The text shown in station list depends on the data sent by the radio station. Either the station transmits the station name, the radio frequency, Local-No., phone numbers, advertisement, a song title or parts of a song title (This may cause strange letter combinations due to song names with more than one word. For example the song "With or without you" could lead to "With or with you" displayed in the station list).
The BMW radio or navigation system has no influence on the data displayed in the radio station list.
I am stuck in traffic and it is not displayed on my RTTI equipped BMW or my BMW indicates a traffic incident at my current location and there is none. Why?
Assuming RTTI is functioning properly in your vehicle; incidents reported to your BMW are gathered and processed by the RTTI service provider from many sources (refer to the third question above). Under normal circumstances, it may take several minutes for changing traffic conditions to be correctly reported and displayed in your BMW. In rare occasions, events may be inappropriately coded or may be displayed when not necessary. If this condition re-occurs on specific roads and times, please report this information to BMW Customer Relations at 800-831-1117 so that BMW can take corrective measures.
What do the letters "TI" or "TI+" mean?
TI and TI+ stand for "Traffic Information". The letters are shown in the status line of the Control Display whenever a RTTI signal is received by the vehicle. Starting with March 2007 production, BMW has changed the text from "TI+" to "TI" to simplify the display. For 2009 and later 1, 3 and 7 Series as well as Z4, TI means that the service is enabled, even though broadcast and/or content coverage may not be available in the area you are currently driving.

CATEGORIES MoviesNew, eye-popping footage of "Pacific Rim" hit the web Monday, providing an extended, tantalizing look at Guillermo del Toro's upcoming feature.
The clip, which debuted at WonderCon last month, features star Charlie Hunnam in voiceover describing the emergence of the mysterious alien life that came from the Pacific and began terrorizing the planet. Humans created giant robots with which to fight the monsters, but as Hunnam explains, the battle to reclaim Earth has only just begun.
Fight after fight between robot and alien is depicted in the footage, each more action-packed than the last, featuring explosions, epic water battles, buildings being toppled, and one enterprising robot wielding a stray boat as a weapon. Audiences also get a closer look at the scientist character played by Charlie Day ("Horrible Bosses"), who describes the robots as "2,500 tons of awesome."
There's a lot going on, and will no doubt whet the appetites of audiences eager to see the film. Day's presence promises the movie won't take itself too seriously, and Idris Elba's stirring-bordering-on-cheesy declaration "We are canceling the apocalypse" ensures an epic final act. Count us among the excited.
"Pacific Rim" hits theaters July 12.

Seattle Seahawks
Richard Sherman - #25 - CB
|6' 3"/ 195 lbs.
|Compton, CA
|Years played
|2011, 5th round, 23rd pick by Seahawks
Closer look at Seahawks' GM candidates
With the Seahawks in the midst of interviewing GM candidates, we look at the qualifications of the men who have interviewed for the job.
Carroll hits the floor running in Seattle
A very "fired-up" Pete Carroll was a bundle of energy in his introductory press conference late Tuesday morning as eighth head coach in the Seahawks' 34-year history.
Seahawks agree to terms with Carroll
The Seahawks announced Monday that they have agreed to terms on a contract with Pete Carroll to become the eighth head coach in the franchise's history.
Carroll agrees to become Seahawks' head coach
USC head coach Pete Carroll has agreed to a deal to be the Seahawks' new head coach, according to multiple sources, and is in the process of finalizing the details with the team before signing a contract.
Seahawks bombshells: Mora out, Carroll in?
The Seahawks dropped a bomb on head coach Jim Mora Friday, deciding to fire him after one season and reportedly set their sights on USC head coach Pete Carroll.
Branch's days in Seattle could be numbered
With his hefty salary far outweighing his declining production, we hear Seahawks WR Deion Branch is likely to be sent packing after continuing to be a major disappointment.
Sherman won his appeal of a four-game suspension for use of performance enhancing substances on Thursday, making him eligible for the NFL playoffs.||||||| Sherman posted "I won," on his Twitter account Thursday morning, followed by teammates tweeting their congratulations. Sherman added, "Thank you (at)nfl for upholding the truth! To the 12s Thank you your faith is rewarded! Thank you lord."
Sherman was expected to practice Wednesday, but the Seahawks aren't going blindly into the regular-season finale against St. Louis with the firm belief they will have their star cornerback available.||||||| Seattle coach Pete Carroll said they would rotate a few guys in along with Sherman during practice in case it comes down later in the week that Sherman's suspension for using performance enhancing substances is upheld. Sherman appealed the suspension last Friday.
Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says he is not concerned about Sherman's preparation for Sunday's game against San Francisco despite missing two days of practice.||||||| Carroll said after practice Friday that he expects Sherman to play against the 49ers. Sherman was reportedly absent, appealing his four-game suspension after testing positive for performance enhancing substances. Carroll says of Sherman, "I anticipate we'll have him. I know of nothing else."
Sherman is at the center of what could be a massive distraction for the Seattle Seahawks as they try to hold the last playoff spot in the NFC. Yet the talkative cornerback said Wednesday that this week is the same as always, despite news leaking out of failed drug tests by Sherman and fellow starting cornerback Brandon Browner.||||||| Sherman spoke for the first time since news first broke saying he and Browner failed tests for performance-enhancing drugs and face possible four-game suspensions. The Seahawks expect the pair to play this week at Chicago as they appeal.
Sherman says he has no regrets over the strong comments and messages from his Twitter account following the Seattle Seahawks' victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday. Sherman had an interception in the second half against the Patriots, and the Seahawks rallied for 14 points down in the final 7:31 to pull out the victory. According to STATS LLC, Sherman is tied for the NFL lead in passes defensed with 10.||||||| The Seahawks cornerback said Tuesday that he was directed to remove a picture from his Twitter account that showed Sherman talking to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady after Seattle's 24-23 win that included an added message"U Mad Bro?" But when asked if he regretted any of the attention that has come his way, Sherman said, "I don't regret anything about the situation. It is what it is."

Finalists named for Ranch principal post
Date: June 30, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
East County parents will have a chance to meet and question the three finalists for the principal position at Lakewood Ranch High School at a community forum at 6:30 p.m., tonight at Lakewood Ranch High School, 5500 Lakewood Ranch Blvd.
Two local assistant principals — Linda Nesselhauf of Manatee High and Don Sauer of Lakewood Ranch — and one out-of-state contender, Melanie Metz of Buffalo, N.Y., are vying for the position.
"It's a good chance for people to meet the candidates and ask questions and find out more about them," Manatee County School District spokesperson Mike Barber said of the forum.
After the forum, parents will be able to provide feedback to the school district about candidates, and Superintendent Tim McGonegal will use the information in making his final recommendation for the post. McGonegal is expected to conduct his own interview with candidates next week.

Pete Sessions on Gun Control
Republican Representative (TX-32)
While widely recognized today as a major political force and as America's foremost defender of Second Amendment rights, the National Rifle Association (NRA) has, since its inception, been the premier firearms education organization in the world. But our successes would not be possible without the tireless efforts and countless hours of service our nearly three million members have given to champion Second Amendment rights and support NRA programs.
The following ratings are based on lifetime voting records on gun issues and the results of a questionaire sent to all Congressional candidates; the NRA assigned a letter grade (with A+ being the highest and F being the lowest).
OFFICIAL CONGRESSIONAL SUMMARY: Prohibits appropriated funds from being used by any US official to promote any action by the UN which advocates the taxation of firearms or any other abrogation of rights under the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Condemns all proposals to tax or otherwise limit rights under the Second Amendment.
SPONSOR'S INTRODUCTORY REMARKS: Rep. PAUL: This legislation prohibits taxpayer support of any UN actions that could in any way infringe on the Second Amendment. The bill also expresses the sense of Congress that proposals to tax, or otherwise limit, the right to keep and bear arms are "reprehensible and deserving of condemnation."
Over the past decade, the UN has waged a campaign to undermine the right to keep and bear arms, which is protected by the Second Amendment of the US Constitution. UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan has called on members of the Security Council to "tackle" the proliferation and "easy availability" of small arms and light weapons. Just this June, the UN tried to "tackle" gun rights by sponsoring a "Week of Action Against Small Arms." Of course, by small arms, the UN really means all privately owned firearms.
Contrary to the UN propaganda, the right to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right and, according to the drafters of the Constitution, the guardian of every other right. Many victims of tyranny were first disarmed by their governments. If the UN is successful in implementing a global regime of gun control, then more innocent lives will be lost to public (and private) criminals. I would remind my colleagues that policies prohibiting the private ownership of firearms were strongly supported by tyrants such as Adolph Hitler, Joseph Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tong. Global gun control is a recipe for global tyranny and a threat to the safety of all law-abiding persons.
LEGISLATIVE OUTCOME:Referred to House Committee on International Relations; never came to a vote.
Establishes a national standard for the carrying of concealed firearms (other than a machinegun or destructive device) by non-residents. Authorizes a person who has a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm in one state and who is not prohibited from carrying a firearm under federal law to carry a concealed firearm in another state:
Congressional Summary:Amends the federal criminal code to:
Proponent's Comments (NRA-ILA, Oct. 14, 2011): This bill would remove several antiquated and unnecessary restrictions imposed on interstate firearms business since 1968:
