SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – After working through the night to repair the heavily damaged underground electricity system in downtown Sioux Falls, Xcel Energy crews by early this afternoon had restored service to most of the customers who lost power early Friday morning.
Service was restored at 12:19 p.m. today to 95 percent of the approximately 200 customers whose power was out overnight. Fewer than a dozen customers, all of them businesses, remained without power Saturday afternoon.
Crews from Sioux Falls and the Twin Cities will continue stringing and connecting underground cable and repairing other electrical components this afternoon and tonight until all power is restored. Full restoration currently is expected to occur by 7 a.m. Sunday.
Manhole covers were blown off and a sidewalk buckled when the outage started at about 4:30 a.m. Friday. The cause of the outage remains under investigation.
More than 500 customers – mostly businesses – initially were affected; crews restored power to about 300 customers in about an hour.
Customers who have questions may call Xcel Energy at (800) 895-1999.

A month ago, Pothole Patrol did one single story about a traffic light issue near Perimeter Mall. A month later, the issue and several others have all been fixed thanks to Perimeter's Community Improvement District.
The left turn lights on Hammond Drive at Perimeter Center Parkway did not line up with the left turn lanes. It created a lot of confusion for drivers until last week, when traffic engineers moved the lights over.
Crews made additional adjustments to traffic signals on Ashford Dunwoody.
Through a $2 million state funded grant, the CID has taken control of 100 traffic signals in the Perimeter Mall area.
The CID is using the funds to make traffic flow improvements which also includes light synchronization.
It was a good Friday for Pothole Patrol. In addition to the fixes by the CID, DeKalb County and Norfolk Southern agreed to make repairs on Pleasantdale Road in Doraville.

Test Drive: Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible
"It's here, it's here, it's finally here!" I exclaimed to my husband as he curiously peered into the big white box I was lugging through our front door.
With me working for a baby gear company, he's seen more than a few new Peg Perego products enter our home, and our lives. In just the last year, there's been a new everyday stroller that we now can't live without (the Pliko P3), the lightweight and travel-ready Pliko Mini and the chic, goes-with-everything-and-will-hold-anything Borsa Mamma diaper bag.
But this, this is what I (and it seems, hundreds of other moms across the country) have been waiting for—the Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible.
The newest addition to the Peg Perego Viaggio travel series, this seat offers all the safety and style of our celebrated Primo Viaggio SIP 30-30 infant car seat in a reversible convertible. With two growing kids—now 5 and 22 months—this is the car seat I needed.
Right out of the box, I fell in love with the Primo Viaggio SIP 5-70 Convertible. Of course I had seen it before. First at tradeshows and then in our very own Peg Perego showroom. But seeing it in my home, next to my old (sadly not Peg Perego) convertible car seats, it looked different. It looked better. And I couldn't wait to get my kids out of their old seats and into this one.
It was the adjustable Side Impact Protection (SIP) that got my attention first. I loved that it adjusted (even with my child in the seat) to 10 different positions. I found this an especially good feature for my 5-year-old daughter, who doesn't quite weigh enough (she weighed just 35 lbs. at her last doctor's visit) for a traditional booster, but is really too tall for her old convertible.
For my "baby" (yes, I still call him a baby even though he'll be 2 before I know it), I liked that the Convertible had a higher rear-facing weight limit—45 pounds. At 22 months, he weighs a hefty (somewhere around the 85th percentile at our last doctor's visit) 30 pounds. But with the Convertible, he's still got room to grow and stay rear facing until his second birthday, just like the American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends.
Installation was also very easy. With summarized instructions right on the seat itself, it was super easy to reposition from rear- to forward-facing with the LATCH connectors. And once it was in the car, I liked the look of the Convertible even more. Not only did the Fresco Jersey seat seem comfortable and breathable, the sleek and tailored seat actually looked good in my car.
Overall, I have to say, it was well worth the wait.

I met him 30 or so years ago, while he was unloading his guitars and his banjo out in back of Aycock Auditorium in Greensboro. Thanks for the music, and everything, I said, extending my hand. He smiled, returned his, went about the business of preparing for that evenings concert.
Pete Seeger was tall, looking more than the 62 he was said to be, and reed-thin but had about him the kind of sinewy muscle of a man whos chopped wood and helped to build houses.
Then, he would have been in his 60s, and if anyone had said hed still be playing 30 years later, I wouldnt have bet against it. Pete Seeger kept going thanks to good health, friendships the world over, legions of disciples in popular music and a righteous anger at injustice of any variety. Yes, theres the word for him: righteous.
Its a word that will be heard often in the coming days, following his death Monday at 94. His grandson reported to his eulogists that Seeger had been chopping wood only 10 days before.
Of course. Chopping wood and thinking still about humankind and how to make it a cleaner, more enlightened and better world.
To liberals, he was iconic, a mentor, an example, a person of tremendous personal courage. He earned it.
In the mid 1950s, he was charged with contempt of Congress after an appearance before the House Un-American Activities Committee, when he defiantly refused to answer questions he deemed none of the committees business. He was blacklisted. The committee, of course, was long ago discredited, and Seeger survived by playing his music all over the country.
Many who visit New York City and tour Greenwich Village, looking at the shuttered clubs where Bob Dylan and Tom Paxton and Peter, Paul and Mary played reckon it to be the birthplace of folk music. It was, in a way, but Pete Seeger really helped start the movement long before Dylan and the others came along in the 1960s, a history the others do not deny.
Many learned at the knee of Pete Seeger, the knee on which rested the banjo with the head that read, This machine surrounds hate and forces it to surrender. His friend Woody Guthrie had traveled with Seeger and on his guitar wrote, This machine kills fascists. They were, both of them, unapologetic in standing up for the poor, for labor, for minorities.
Righteous. Even the songs were righteous, or maybe it should be that especially they were. Consider If I Had a Hammer, which included the lines: Id hammer in the morning, Id hammer in the evening, all over this land...it's the hammer of justice, it's the bell of freedom, it's the song about love between my brothers and my sisters all over this land.
Seegers Where Have All the Flowers Gone became an anthem for the peace movement, and his version of We Shall Overcome helped make the anthem of a civil rights struggle a song known by all.
That Seeger lived so long must have griped those who had a bellyfull of his liberal politics no end. That night in Greensboro, he sang the old songs, accompanied mainly by that banjo, but he added a few current ones, including a tune about Ronald Reagan in which he tried to get the audience to sing along with a chorus that included the line, This old man should go back home...
The popularity of those at whom he aimed his musical barbs did not matter to Seeger, who remained unrepentant for his views until the end. In 2011, he even participated in the Occupy movement in New York, walking two miles. Righteous. Apparently, it has something to do with longevity.
Seeger admitted a long-ago flirtation with communism, which caused some to repudiate him for lifetime. But the truth was he left it behind long ago, and devoted himself to more than liberal politics, though he was hardly shy about that. He fought, for example, to clean up New Yorks Hudson River, and stood with those who campaigned for other environmental causes.
He instilled in those who followed him in the folk era a commitment to causes, for civil rights, against war, possessed of a skepticism toward government. They learned. The next generation did, too. Bruce Springsteen today carries on Seegers crusades through rock n roll, expressing his friendship for and admiration of Seeger in every arena in the world.
A country needs Pete Seegers, people who agitate, who ask the questions politicians dont want to answer, who demand of their fellow citizens that they address questions about civil rights, for example, that it would be easier to leave unanswered. Seegers road was not the easy one, but it was the righteous one. Communist? Not hardly. Patriot is more like it.

The committee evaluated submissions received in response to a request for proposals (RFP) for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton, a supercomputer specially designed and built by D.E. Shaw Research (DESRES) that allows for dramatically increased molecular dynamics simulations compared to other currently available resources. During the past 2 years, DESRES has made available to the non-commercial research community node-hours on an Anton system housed at the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center (PSC), based on the advice of previous National Research Council committees convened in the falls of 2010 and 2011.
The success of the program has left DESRES to make the Anton machine housed at the PSC available for an additional 3.7 million node-hours during the 9 months following October 2012. DESRES has asked the National Research Council (NRC) to once again facilitate the allocation of time to the non-commercial research community. To undertake this task, the NRC convened a committee of experts to evaluate the proposals submitted in response to the aforementioned RFP. The committee members were selected for their expertise in molecular dynamics simulations, as well as their experience in the subject areas represented in the 52 proposals that were considered by the committee. They comprised a cross-section of the biomolecular dynamics field in academia, industry, and government, including an array of both senior and junior investigators.
The goal of the third RFP for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton has been to continue to facilitate breakthrough research in the study of biomolecular systems by providing a massively parallel system specially designed for molecular dynamics simulations. These special capabilities allow multi-microsecond to millisecond simulation timescales, which previously had been unobtainable. The program seeks to continue to support research that addresses important and high-impact questions demonstrating a clear need for Anton's special capabilities.Report of the Committee on Proposal Evaluation for Allocation of Supercomputing Time for the Study of Molecular Dynamics: Third Round is a summary of the proposals, research, and criteria set forth in the RFP for Biomolecular Simulation Time on Anton.

Winchester businesses donate pamper day to deprived women
10:00am Tuesday 1st April 2014 in Hampshire Business By Lauren Howard, Reporter
SIX Hampshire women were treated to a day of luxury as part of an event coordinated by members of The Business Collective.
The group, which is made of small firms and sole traders, organised a raffle which saw women of Trinity House spoiled with a day of pampering, a cookery master class and a gourmet lunch.
Adrienne Marsden, who started the collective two years ago, said: "An awful lot of people who work for themselves do a lot for charity in their spare time, such as running a marathon, but very few use the skills and resources from their business to charitable ends – The Business Collective brings them together and together we can act like a big organisation."
The event was held at Jaga kitchen shop in Alresford and local butchers, pub owners and shopkeepers donated food parcels and raffle items. Another Collective member also transported the women via a minibus.
"Charities have an awful lot of resources that can be very useful to small firms," Ms Marsden added. "The chief executives and trustees of many charities are often former businesspeople in their own right who have a breadth and depth of commercial knowledge that can be shared with our members. There is growing evidence that doing good is also good for business."

(FOX 11) Don't judge a criminal by his appearance. From the LAPD's description, the criminal of the day thinks he can hide behind some thick rimmed glasses and a "mild-mannered" look.
LAPD hasn't released his picture or any surveillance tape of him in action but the "nerdy looking guy" - as witnesses reportedly described him - certainly was one busy robber last night.
Armed with a gun, he hit a Walgreens, Subway and CVS in the San Fernando all in the span of a couple of hours.
According to police, he's Caucasian, tall - about 6'2" - and on the malnourished side since he only weighs about 130 pounds.*
Maybe he should have ordered a sandwich at Subway instead of cash. Would have been healthier. Then again when they catch him, he'll get 3 squares and a cot.
Yup, you should have ordered the sandwich dude.
As always, if you have any information that could help police catch the bad guy, please call the LAPD.

Breastfeeding support now available at Hendrick's Baby Cafe
Updated On: Aug 09 2013 08:16:08 AM CDT
Hendrick Medical Center is celebrating this week the opening of its Baby Cafe.
It's a place for moms to drop in and get professional help on breastfeeding. It's also a place where moms can just come together for support and advice from eachother.
The Café is staffed by the hospital's first, full-time lactation consultant, Tabitha Alldredge. "Moms who have mom to mom support, along with a place to ask questions if they have concerns about breastfeeding, they breastfeed longer than those who don't; so this is a really good thing for Abilene so they have that support," said Alldredge.
The Baby Café is located on the Hendrick main campus, room 4535. It's open the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month from 10:00 a.m. to noon, and the 2nd and 4th Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.

|Ohm's Law
|The relationship between the net current and the electric field in a conducting medium. For simple resistors, the voltage equals current times resistance, V = I*R. In plasmas the "generalized Ohm's Law" is a more complex tensor relationship involving the vector current density, the vector for the electric field, and a generalized resistance tensor that relates the two.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — The 2012 season didn't go the way the Plattsburgh State women's soccer team would have liked.
The Cardinals, however, ended their campaign on a positive note Wednesday with a 5-1 non-conference victory over Norwich University at the Field House Soccer Complex.
Senior Kristie Pageau led the way with two goals as the Cardinals finished with a 7-10-1 overall record.
"We played well all year," said Plattsburgh coach Karen Waterbury. "We just couldn't finish when we needed to.
"But it was a good win to end the season. We got different people scoring and some of them got their first goals of the year."
Six Cardinals recorded at least one point for Plattsburgh, which held a 2-0 lead at the half.
Receiving just her second start of the year, freshman striker Melissa Rodriguez required a little less than seven minutes to give the Cardinals a lead they wouldn't relinquish. Rodriquez corralled a loose ball just inside the box and fired a hard shot past Allison Hull for the first goal of her collegiate career.
Plattsburgh had little trouble controlling the pace of the game, limiting the Cadets to just two shots in the first 45 minutes of play. Although she didn't start, Kristie Pageau made her presence known in a big way throughout the course of the contest.
Pageau took a pass from fellow senior Ashley McKenelley and sent a rocket past Hull to extend the Plattsburgh lead to 2-0 at the 37:55 mark. Pageau's shot was just one of 14 taken in the first half by the Cardinals.
Norwich (5-9-3) cut the Plattsburgh State lead in half midway through the 76th minute when Brittany Casey emerged alone and unguarded after winning a battle for a ball. Casey pumped in her 12th goal of the season, and the 60th of her career which was good to take a seat atop the Norwich record book in terms of career goals.
That was one of the only highlights produced by the Cadets though, as a little over one minute later Madeleine Rattray gave the Cardinals a two-goal advantage once again. The freshman was fed a pin-point pass from Ashley Pagano and tallied the first goal of her collegiate career, sending a low ball past Hull.
"It was nice to respond that quickly," said Waterbury.
Pageau put an exclamation point on her Plattsburgh State career just over five minutes later as she sped by an entire contingent of Norwich defenders to net her sixth goal of the season, and the 14th of her career, thanks to a pass from Rodriguez.
The senior picked up her only assist of the evening when she found Devin McMahon in front of the Norwich net and sent a perfect pass to the freshman who put it home for the first goal of her college days.
The Cardinals held a 9-0 advantage in corner kicks and outshot the Cadets 33-9 through the 90-minute bout. Danielle Schmitt finished with six saves in net for Plattsburgh.
Renee Egan made life difficult for Hull all day, recording a game-high seven shots that included five on goal. Rodriguez had five shots, and three on goal while Pageau registered four shots. Both of her shots on goal found the back of the net. Lauren Gonyea and Macee Maddock each finished with three shots.
Pageau, McKenelley, Egan and Olivia Hopeck all played in their final game for the Cardinals. The foursome helped the Cardinals put together a 39-26-8 record over the past four seasons that included a pair of NCAA Division III Tournament appearances and SUNYAC Championship runner-up finish in 2010.
"The four seniors played very well today," said Waterbury. "It was nice to see Kristie get two goals.
"We had a lot of youth on the team this year and we lacked confidence at times. Our freshman need to get bigger and stronger for next season and we need to have a good recruiting class."
Plattsburgh 5, Norwich 1
Norwich 0 1 — 1
Plattsburgh 2 3 — 5

What better way to grab the public's interest by getting the two largest promotion companies to do a boxing tournament or a Davis Cup type of matches.
In Davis Cup countries from around the world pick three of their best tennis players and have them compete against other countries. What if Golden boy and Top Rank put their top fighters in each weight class against each other? They could co promote and Showtime and HBO have to compete for the purse...
You could have Gary Russel Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia Mares vs. Donaire, Swift vs. Crawford, Rios vs. Judah (Al Haymon fighter) Thurman vs. Bradley or Marquez and Sergio vs. Canelo, Mayweather vs. Whoever... The possibilities would be endless and the money would be out of this world. You can have a PPV with a stacked undercard and the main event would the cherry on top. What do yawl think? It would never happen but come on a Golden Boy vs. Top Rank tournament would be amazing!

Not gonna happen but it's a pretty cool idea and I believe it would generate not only maximum revenue but it will bring massive attention back to the sport of boxing. Just the thought of the 2 biggest promotional companies in the sport pitting their fighters against one another would be great. TR vs GB, to see who truly has the best fighters in the world. It's a nice thought but it aint gon happen. Look at that ignorant stuff Arum said about De La Hoya, GB, Haymon, and Showtime at the post fight presser the other day.
This guy 80yrs old and acting like a 14yr old getting bitter about stuff that don't have nothing to do with him. De La Hoya tweeting how he cancelled his HBO subscription was a clear shot at HBO and TR too. They just can't get out of their own way. We, the fans suffer the most from this petty bullshit, we're missing out on possibly career defining and legendary fights because supposed adults can't play in the same sand box unless their in control. No one wins in this case

Your character in Missing Halloween!INTRODUCTION
Missing Halloween, an animation about two kids trick or treating, was previewed last year on Youtube:
However, the deadline was missed and was decided to remain its production on hold.
But not anymore, of course! Halloween is coming soon after all!
Are you looking forward to watching Missing Halloween?
Do you design your own characters?
Would you like to help with Missing Halloween's production?
Then this is your chance!!!
You can get your design featured in the animation Missing Halloween!
In the animation, there's a part of the story where it features locals in costume giving candies to the two main kids.
This is where you come in!
I decided that instead of randomly designing these people, I can give my fans the opportunity to have their designs featured in the animation!
And if there are too many designs contributed, I can use the others as kids who Trick or Treat in the background!
Why Bother? A Moral Choice for Young ArtistsIn the wake of some truly disgusting activity in the gaming industry right now, I've been grappling with a moral dilemma concerning what I would recommend young artists do with their chosen career paths.
Phil Fish Hacked
Phil Fish, the creator of FEZ, is pretty much universally hated by people online. Recently he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, creator of Depression Quest, who was herself under fire from internet thought police for "corrupting" games journalism's integrity by sleeping with journalists to get favorable reviews of her game (allegations which later proved to be untrue). Because he spoke out in favor of Zoe Quinn, Phil found himself under a massive internet attack, wherein hackers compromised his SSI, passwords, Polytron's PayPal account, and other sensitive data.
In the wake of the attack, Phil Fish is now selling off the rights to FEZ and to Polytron. He left with this rather depressing twitter message: "I

Anyone can enter! You don't have to be a watcher. But I would greatly appreciate it if you checked out my gallery
Favorite this journal! (mandatory)
OK, this is getting really irritating rantI dont rant publicy very often but now I am putting my foot down.
Every week I have to deal with some stranger I havent talked to trying to use me for all the watchers that have come to my account. Let me just make one thing straight, this is not an account to feature, help spread stuff and all that, this is my gallery. IF that makes you mad or upset then go be friggin mad and upset I dont give a flappityhockeypuck. I dont care if you think I have an ego for not wanting to feature you, and help out. Jesus grow up there are hundreds of ways to feature yourself if you got of your lazy asses.
STOP ASKING ME. Stop trying to GUILT trip me by using your sick pets or sick family memebers. Dont come to me if all you care about is views.
What pisses me of the most is that 99% of the time I get asked some kind of version of this are from people who BARELY talk to me or have never talked to me at all.
yeah this is a big pet peeve of mine, so if you do not want to
Aha! I thought I recognized your "Kaiju Romance" art from WonderCon this year! (the SP area was a lot accessible than the one in 2012!)
Nice to see you on DA!

Scientist say an asteroid the size of a city block will whiz very near Earth tonight —within about one-fourth of the distance to the moon.
The space rock, called asteroid 2012 TC4, is about 56 feet wide, but poses no danger of impacting Earth, according NASA, Space.com reports. Likely, you won't be able to see it with the naked eye, according to Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville.
"There is a 100-foot diameter asteroid passing the Earth tonight at 12:30 a.m. (Friday morning) at a distance of about 59,000 miles," officials said in a statement. "The media is saying it is visible, but it's at 13.7 magnitude, that's about 1,500 times fainter than you can see with the unaided eye.
"Our telescope could see it but it would be a very faint dot at best. So look south around midnight and you will see...nothing."
For a better chance of viewing the flyby, check out Slooh Space Camera, which is live streaming the space rock from an observatory beginning at 5:30 p.m., according to National Geographic.

Public Abstract:
This grant focuses on research to advance automated neuroimaging techniques that will enhance the potential of human neural stem cell (hNSC) implantation to treat neonatal hypoxic ischemic brain injury (HII), a common condition with serious long-term neurological and developmental disorders such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy or epilepsy. Our goal is to develop magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and imaging processing methods in a rat pup model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain injury. This model is created by tying off the middle cerebral artery and exposing the pup to hypoxia and is known as the Rice-Vannucci model (RVM). We will use complex MRI methods to automatically determine where areas of brain injury are located as well as where human neural stem cells (hNSCs) are implanted. At the present time, there are no such methods available. Developing such methods are critical if we are to use stem cells for treatment of different diseases. In the first aim (Aim1a) we will implant hNSCs into a special gel (agarose) and image the cells in a MRI scanner. We will determine the optimal number of cells to use for imaging and the strength of the MRI magnet that is most suitable. We will also look at which of four specific type of imaging modalities will give us the most useful information about hNSC activity. In Aim1b, we will compare 3 computational methods using the 10d rat pup RVM at 1, 3, 7 days after implantation. These 3 complex methods include: (i) hierarchical region splitting (HRS), (ii) graph normalized cut (N-Cut) algorithm, and (iii) Bayesian region segmentation (BRS). Testing different computational methods will help us find the one that is best at detecting and monitoring stem cells as they move through brain regions and migrate to the areas of ischemic injury. When stem cells will be used in clinical trials, it will be very important to know if they will migrate to injured tissues, when this happens, how long the cells can survive for and also the degree of increase in their volume (i.e., proliferation). In Aim 2 we will quantify the activities of the stem cells after hypoxic-ischemic injury. In Aim 2a, we will test these computational methods to see how well they describe and detail the evolution and location of hypoxic-ischemic injury as well as the implanted stem cells. In Aim 2b we will correlate the results of the information that we acquire from MRI and the 3 computational methods with examination of the brain by doing tissue staining and microscopic examination (i.e., histology and immunohistochemistry). This will allow us to check the accuracy of the imaging methods. This grant addresses many of the important technical issues that must be considered in order to improve the chance for success of NSC therapy. We strongly believe that automated and quantitative imaging analysis will be one of the most significant technological advances that will increase the likelihood for successful stem cell therapy.
Statement of Benefit to California:
This proposal will benefit children born in California who suffer acute hypoxic brain injury at birth (i.e., perinatal asphyxia or ischemic perinatal stroke) and who develop long term neurological and developmental disorders such as mental retardation, cerebral palsy or epilepsy. Treatment with stem cells should reduce the burden of illness of this very common disorder that occurs in full term newborn infants. It will also benefit the families and caretakers of affected children as it will be easier to provide care for such children as they will have less severe neurological deficits. The long-term outcome of severe perinatal brain injury is a life-time of disability and if this can be reduced, it will also reduce the costs of chronic care, hospitalizations, rehabilitation and care in long-term nursing facilities of affected children. This grant focuses on one critical and important aspect of this endeavor that is related to available automated, reproducible, rapid, and objective methods to quantify and assess hNSC activity both in animal studies but more importantly when stem cells are used in human clinical trials. By developing the imaging methods to help improve candidate selection for treatment, for monitoring stem cell implantation, and for following the effects of treatment on outcome, the studies outlined in this proposal will provide ways to use these automated imaging methods to develop 'push-button' automated, fast, unbiased and reproducible software tools that will be used clinically not only for treatment with stem cells but for many other acquired diseases that occur across the pediatric age spectrum.
Review Summary:
This proposal is focused on the development of MRI technology to identify and track transplanted human neural stem cells (hNSCs) in a rat model of neonatal ischemic brain injury. The technology would allow non-invasive, in vivo imaging of transplanted hNSCs with reference to specific brain anatomy, including the ischemic lesion sites. The applicants also propose to develop software to quantify transplanted hNSC number, proliferation and potential repopulation of lesion sites. The group plans to first optimize hNSC detection in agarose gels before continuing in vivo. They plan to verify and inform their imaging based localization and quantification techniques using histology and immunohistochemistry. In terms of impact, reviewers agreed that the proposed research has the potential to provide significant impact to the assessment of the safety, timing, and cellular properties of transplantable SCs in animal models with neural injuries. Moreover, one reviewer commented that this proposal has the potential to provide a platform for further animal model studies that include other cell-based therapies to address spinal cord and other injuries. However, despite the budding relevance of this type of imaging technology development for preclinical applications, reviewers disagreed about its clinical applicability. Reviewers raised serious concerns about the feasibility of the proposal. They described the work as technically challenging, especially given the need for two different MRI devices to accommodate growing animals. Another concern was related to the software development proposed; namely, whether it would be applicable to other imaging systems and whether it would be open-source. One reviewer commented that the development of automated software tools is time and labor intensive and raised doubts about the attainability of the proposed milestones. Several other concerns were raised with respect to the experimental design. A reviewer noted that the applicant acknowledges the difficulty of detecting low numbers of migratory hNSCs, and so suggests larger sized transplants. However, only a subset of those cells may migrate, severely limiting their approach to monitor the location of the transplant. One reviewers' concern was that the iron label used in the hNSCs might leak out, especially as the cells undergo apoptosis, and be taken up by neighboring microglia. Subsequently, the label would track microglia and the ordinary migration of these cells rather than any movement of stem cells. However, the reviewer noted that the use of hNSCs in primate and histological correlation with anti-human antibodies should reveal if this is a significant problem. Finally, some reviewers questioned whether the technical optimization that comprises a large part of the proposal would ever be transferable to humans. In terms of the research team, reviewers appreciated the merits of collaboration between an MRI specialist, a physicist and a stem cell biologist. They agreed that the assembled team is well qualified to perform the MRI optimization and ischemic animal generation. However, reviewers found it unclear who in the team had the expertise in NSC transplantation. Furthermore, two reviewers noted that that the stem cell biologist is not local to the principal investigator and wondered how the 30% listed effort could be achieved from a distance. The proposal also left unclear who on the team would be responsible for developing the software tools, a significant time investment. Finally, reviewers also raised questions about the budget. They commented that the $288,000 requested for consultants and subcontracts was poorly justified and were confused by the "other expenses" category that lists $22K in imaging costs per year but produces requests of $167,000 and $158,000. Overall, while this proposal addresses some important technical roadblocks for transplanted stem cell imaging, the reviewers raised serious questions about its clinical relevance, feasibility and budgetary justification. PROGRAMMATIC REVIEW During programmatic review a motion was made to move this proposal up from Tier 3, Not Recommended for Funding, to Tier 2, Recommend for Funding if Funds are Available. The maker of the motion argued that there is a real need for this type of MRI technology development and disagreed with the reviewer that questioned its clinical applicability. A member of the panel raised concern about the high number of imaging proposals already in the top funding tier but others argued that this is a critical area of research that deserves emphasis. Overall, the panel agreed with the maker of the motion that the technology and software solutions developed in this proposal could bootstrap advances in human imaging techniques. The motion to move this proposal from Tier 3 to Tier 2 carried.

Dharamsala, India
Loyola Himalaya Adventure Program in India 2014
The Loyola Program in India offers students the opportunity for summer study in regions of North India that are striking for their cultural diversity, natural beauty and historical richness. The program will be based in Dharamsala, located in the Kangra Valley in the shadow of the Dhauladhar range of the Himalayas. Dharamsala is the center of India's Tibetan refugee community and the seat of the Tibetan Government in Exile. In addition to experiencing immersion in Tibetan Buddhist culture, students will visit Delhi, one of India's largest and most historic cities and India's capital; the Taj Mahal, the jewel of Indian Muslim architecture located in Agra; Amritsar, site of the Sikh Golden Temple; and Tso Pema, the "Lotus Lake" sacred to Buddhists, Sikhs and Hindus. Students will visit social services programs to learn about their work in India. They will visit Hindu and Buddhist temples, Sikh gurdwaras, Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, a Sufi shrine, and hear talks by traditional Tibetan teachers.
The Summer Program in Dharamsala, India is open to all students in good standing at Loyola or their home university. Students will take courses in Development of Social Thought, and Cultures of North India and Tibet. Lodging in Dharamsala will be in comfortable (usually double) rooms in a Tibetan guesthouse. In Delhi we will explore the Pahar Ganj (old bazaar) area, visit the Gandhi Museum and Memorial, and the Nizam ud-Din Dargah (tomb and shrine for a famous Sufi saint). A day-trip to Agra will take us to see the Taj Mahal, a UNESCO World Heritage site. On the trip to Tso Pema (the lake where Padmasambhava, the legendary founder of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism, is said to have been reborn from a lotus), we will visit cave-dwelling Tibetan nuns, Tibetan Buddhist monasteries, Hindu temples, and a Sikh gurdwara. In Mandi we will see Hindu temples and sites sacred to Padmasambhava and his consort Mandarava. In and around Dharamsala we will visit the Main Temple of the Dalai Lama, the Tibet Museum, the Tibetan Children's Village, and take an optional trek up Triund mountain to spend two nights in a rustic lodge in an alpine meadow. Click here to view the 2014 itinerary.
Before leaving for India, each student will be paired with a Tibetan mutual learning partner in Dharamsala. The partners will exchange messages before our departure, and after our arrival they will meet for conversations. This will introduce the students to Tibetan culture and help the Tibetan partners practice their reading, writing and speaking of English.
The program is co-directed by Dr. Marcus Kondkar in Sociology and Dr. Catherine Wessinger in Religious Studies.

Loyola Himalaya Adventure-Student Reflections (on mutual learning partners)
Adventures in Himachal Pradesh
Development of Social Thought - SOCI O240
This course focuses on the original writings of four social theorists: Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, Max Weber and Georg Simmel. Their ideas emerged in response to changes affecting modern Europe, but they have a timeless, universal quality about them. They help us make sense of contemporary and historical patterns of social life and social change in our local and global contexts. For this summer program, the course will examine the central tenets of the four theorists in the Indian context.
Cultures of North India and Tibet - LING O294
This course will support the students in the program by providing them with a more in-depth understanding of the cultures of the Indian and Tibetan populations with which they will be interacting. The course will focus on writings by Gandhi, the Dalai Lama and historians of religion and politics. This course contains a service learning component, the bulk of which will be completed by participation in Lha Charitable Trust's Mutual Learning Partner Program in Dharamsala, India. The course will provide opportunities to process the experiences through exploration of issues related to international group education, and experiential cultural exposure to Indian and Tibetan peoples in northern India.
Class Schedule
There will usually be seventy-five minutes of class time each day for each course. The schedule will vary according to the demands of the travel itinerary. There will be two mandatory meeting with the students accepted for the program on April 24 from 12:30 - 1:45 p.m. and on April 28 at 5:00 p.m. (location to be announced) to discuss courses and trip information.

text: Scott Weiland's (STONE TEMPLE PILOTS, ex-VELVET REVOLVER) business partner and touring guitarist Doug Grean has revealed via Facebook that he is working on a new Weiland Christmas song. He added, "It's the record that just won't quit!"Weiland's Christmas album, "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year", was released in October 2011 via Rhino Records. According to a press release, the CD covers "a variety of styles including big band swing, orchestrated ballads, reggae, bossa nova and more, all delivered with surprising ease by Scott Weiland." In a 2011 interview, Weiland stated about his reasons for releasing a Christmas album, "Um, well, why not? They're songs and renditions that I've listened to from a child all the way to my adult years. And they're very special to my heart, you know. If you last long enough in this business, you have the ability to make the kind of music you want to make. And this is something I've wanted to do for a while." When asked how he ended up making a Christmas album, Weiland said, "We actually recorded one song over a year ago, and we decided, 'Let's make this an album.' So we recorded with a full jazz orchestra — some of the best players around. And we took a lot of time figuring out the arrangements and finding the right keys and giving some of the songs a different flavor. You've got some bossa nova, a little reggae. It was amazing to be able to sing those kinds of songs and experiment with different phrasing. Singing rock 'n' roll is a lot different than singing jazz." STONE SOUR and SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor last year slammed Weiland, calling the STP singer a "lazy piece of shit" for recording and releasing "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year".

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A woman fled her apartment and called police to report twice waking up to a man having nonconsensual sex with her.
The victim said in the early morning on Friday, August 30, Joseph Denkhoff, 22, entered her room and started having sex with her while she was asleep. According to police, she asked him what he was doing and he left the room.
After falling back asleep, she reported again waking to Denkhoff in her room engaging her in intercourse against her will. Police said the man fled the room leaving behind his cell phone. The victim took the phone and fled her apartment to contact police.
When officers responded to her call and looked at the suspect's phone they found a picture of the victim's private parts. The victim told police she had no knowledge of the picture and had gone to bed after drinking with her roommate.
The arrest report does not indicate if the two knew each other or how Denkhoff came to be in the girl's apartment.
He is charged with second degree rape and video voyeurism.

Push notifications serve an important role in the mobile realm.
I remember distinctly when it happened. Sunday night, May 1. My iPad and iPhone chime almost simultaneously. It's a push notification from The Huffington Post's iPad and iPhone apps. It simply said the president was to address the nation shortly. It was 9:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, and out of the clear blue. What was happening? A national emergency? So I changed channels to CNN and watched as the story of Osama bin Laden's death unfolded. Without those push notifications, I would have been in the dark until the following morning. Instead I got to see history unfold live.
A push notification is a message that comes with a small badge that appears atop an app's icon, an alert sound or a window with a note, or a combination of the three. App users have to opt in to receive them, and they are usually asked to opt in the first time they open an app.
Push is a wonderful tool in the mobile world, where people generally want to be connected 24/7 and know exactly what is going on right now. And push lends itself very nicely to retail, where merchants can push out notifications for daily deals or alerts that an advance preview of a new catalog has been released for mobile shoppers only.
General Nutrition Centers Inc., aka GNC, uses push notifications in an ingenious manner. It's created a system within its mobile app that customers can program to remind them when to take the supplements and vitamins they've purchased.
"We do this for two reasons," says Jeffrey R. Hennion, executive vice president and chief branding officer. "The first is to be an added benefit that gives them a way to keep track of exactly what they are taking and remind them they can't miss any. The second is to encourage repeat engagement. We don't want an app that somebody installs, uses the first day, and then gets lost in clutter. Our bar code scanner, the deals, the regimen reminders, these all give the customer a reason to keep interacting with our app."
Plus, GNC sometimes pushes out coupons customers can use in the mobile app. That's certainly not a wasted or annoying push in my view.
But on that note, some retailers eschew push notifications. They say a retailer must have something truly compelling to announce. Otherwise, pushes could lead to consumers tuning out the retailer. Good point.
But I think there are many compelling reasons retailers can find to use push in their apps. Push notifications are a great way to keep customers informed and engaged. Isn't that one of the ultimate goals of retailing?

Federal Lobbying Boom Continues, Third Quarter Reports Indicate
October 30, 2009
2009 is on pace to be another bumper year for lobbyists. During the third quarter, corporations, unions, trade associations and other special interests spent $849 million on federal lobbying, bringing the year-to-date total to $2.5 billion. Perhaps not surprisingly, the sectors that could be affected most by the Obama administration's domestic agenda -- particularly health, business and energy -- have been some of the biggest spenders over the course of the year.

Question: Two slightly related questions. First, in recent weeks, we've had the return of (at least) three classic TV stars guest starring on hit shows, with Bob Newhart on The Big Bang Theory and Patty Duke and Meredith Baxter on Glee. While a large part of me got a kick out of seeing them again (especially Newhart), part of me was kind of saddened to see how much they've aged. Newhart seemed fairly frail (granted, it has been almost 25 years since Newhart left the airwaves), though still funny.
