Public Abstract:
Human pluripotent stem cells (PSC) have the potential to produce all of the different cells in the human body. There are many studies using human PSC to develop new therapies for patients with genetic disease, birth defects or injuries. One obstacle to the development of these stem cell therapies is that very often human PSC randomly differentiate (or change) into non-specific cell types in the laboratory. When the cells randomly differentiate they can not be used to make the cells or tissues of interest. It's not clear how to prevent this random differentiation because at this time we do not completely understand the biology of these human stem cells and what factors keep them alive and expanding. A second problem with current stem cell research is that the most reliable method to keep the human stem cells alive and expanding is to culture them on cells obtained from mice. This culture with animal cells makes the currently available human stem cells unsafe for use in patients. The overall goal of these studies is the development of safe methods to produce human stem cells to make cells and tissues for patients. We are developing a completely new approach to keep human stem cells growing. We are developing a synthetic material based on a normal human protein that is known to be required for human stem cells to survive and expand without differentiation. Excitingly, our preliminary studies demonstrate that by adding our material, we can keep stem cells alive, and undifferentiated for at least three days (the longest time evaluated). The goal of these studies is to continue and further study our new approach, and evaluate its potential to maintain stem cell survival and growth. We will also study the genes and proteins involved in normal human stem cell survival, to learn more about the biology of these cells, and optimize the development of materials for maintaining human stem cell survival and expansion for clinical applications. If successful, the development of such synthetic materials that maintain the undifferentiated state of stem cells will make all aspects of human stem cell research more reliable and efficient. This in turn will increase the time that researchers have to developing therapeutic protocols, rather than spending a large amount of their time and energy to keep their cells alive and renewing. Furthermore, it will facilitate the scale-up of stem cell applications from small-scale laboratory studies. Thus, our studies have the potential to impact on all human stem cell research, and increase the rate of development of all stem cell based therapies. The development of a safe, synthetic material that can replace mouse cells, and reliably keep the stem cells alive would prove very useful to stem cell researchers, as well as increase the safety of the cultures for therapeutic purposes.
Statement of Benefit to California:
One of the biggest hurdles in human stem cell research is that in the laboratory, the cells spontaneously and randomly change into a variety of cell types in culture by a process called differentiation. Cells that have undergone uncontrolled differentiation can not be used to make cells or tissues for use in patients. A high degree of technical training can reduce this random differentiation, but it is not preventable with currently available techniques to grow stem cells. Our project will study the biological processes that keep stem cells renewing and expanding. We will then use this information to develop new materials that can be added to cells in the laboratory to keep stem cells growing in an undifferentiated state - so that they can better be used to make cells and tissues for clinical applications. If successful, these materials will increase the efficiency of all human stem cell research, by dramatically decreasing the amount of time spent researchers spend keeping human stem cells alive and undifferentiated. In turn, this will allow researchers to spend more time and effort developing stem cell therapies for human disease. Finally, since our material will be made in a laboratory using safe procedures, it will also increase the safety of the stem cells used to make cells and tissues for patients, by reducing the need for animal or human products in the system.
Review Summary:
The overall goal of this project is to improve our understanding of the pathways involved in human pluripotent stem cell self-renewal and to use this knowledge to develop new methods or factors to promote maintenance of pluripotency in human stem cells. A number of different transcription factors have been identified that participate in human embryonic stem cell (hESC) self-renewal, and this proposal seeks to more fully understand the specific role played by one of these factors. In Aim 1, the applicant will assess the biological role of the transcription factor in maintaining pluripotency of hESC and induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells by analyzing effects of expressing two mutant versions of this factor - one with enhanced activity and one with dominant negative activity. The goal of Aim 2 is to identify the proteins that bind to the transcription factor using several approaches. Aim 3 is focused on the development of small protein mimics of the transcription factor that could be used to promote expansion of hESCs for clinical applications without the need for feeder cells. This application presents a very straightforward and well-structured research plan. The applicant suggests that the difficulty in efficiently culturing hESCs in an undifferentiated state is due in part to a limited understanding of the pathways that regulate self-renewal. Improving culture efficiency would assist the field, yet other recent advances have resulted in improved ease of culture, so the impact on the regenerative medicine field may be relatively low. Furthermore, the significance of the proposed research is somewhat diminished given the relative expendability of the transcription factor under investigation for reprogramming of somatic cells to iPS cells. However, new basic knowledge of the role of the transcription factor in self-renewal is likely to be gained. The research plan is well designed, and the fact that the studies will focus on hESCs and iPS cells and on comparing the two cell types is considered a relative strength of the proposal. However, the reviewers identified several limitations of the proposed studies related to availability of critical reagents, choice of markers for analysis of transfected cells, and questions about the feasibility of certain approaches. The third aim is the most speculative and least developed aspect of the proposal, but the most interesting aim, likely to have an impact on clinical applications if successful. The preliminary data are supportive of the proposed concepts and hypotheses, but the reviewers had different opinions about their scope. Overall, this proposal presents an interesting, conservative approach, lacking innovation but entirely focused on human ESCs and iPS cells. The applicant was recruited to a tenure-track Assistant Professor position at the home institution in 2004. She/he was instrumental in establishing an hESC core facility and is currently its director. In addition, she/he holds leadership roles in stem cell and gene therapy committees in national societies. One reviewer expressed concern that this many commitments to committees and directorships may diffuse his/her research time during this formative career stage. The applicant has developed many of the research tools required for the project, and has the necessary expertise to see the project to fruition. However, the reviewers expressed only moderate enthusiasm for the applicant's productivity; the publication record is not extensive, particularly with regard to stem cells, and much of his/her published work over the last few years has been related to viral vector work. The applicant's overall research program was judged to be somewhat diffuse. She/he has, however, attracted considerable extramural research funding. The applicant has provided a relatively well-structured career development plan with detailed goals outlined, but provides no clear timeline or plan of action for how these goals will be met. The mentoring plan identifies five scientists and clinicians, some of whom are world-class leaders in relevant fields. However, one reviewer questioned whether sufficient interactions between the applicant and the mentors were planned. The home institution provides excellent academic, intellectual and financial support for the applicant's research and ample protected research time. The home institution has a long history of commitment to stem cell research and has recruited a number of stem cell biologists over the past few years. New faculty appointments in stem cell biology are envisaged with two of these in the same department as that of the applicant. Overall, the reviewers were not enthusiastic in their assessment of this application. Although the proposal was considered to be straightforward and have some potential significance, the reviewers felt it lacked innovation and was not sufficiently ambitious. Similarly, they commended some of the applicant's accomplishments, but were only moderately enthusiastic about his/her productivity and scientific focus.

It's taken me awhile to finally stop here. It is a long way from anyplace that I visit in the KC area, but it was certainly worth the trip. They have a fairly large selection of beer. Some that I hadn't seen at other locations in KC. Nice selection of Belgians and other high quality imports. They had a tiny mix a six section that really didn't have many great finds. They do have a big selection of singles in larger formats. Nice organization of the American craft brews. Things were very easy to find. Service was neither good nor bad. It was about 5 minutes after they opened on a Sunday morning. All in all, they have a good variety of good beers at reasonable prices. Worth a stop if you're on the south side of Kansas City,

The guys at Gomers South have always been great to work with, always are helpful and friendly. On some of the special releases that have came out they have been very helpful in holding a bottle or a sixer for me. They always seem to be stocked up on most everything and compared to a lot of other places in town they have a superb selection. I understand that just a few weeks ago they added some more space/shelfing for their beer selection, which hopefully means there will be even more of a selection now, looking forward to checking the new setup out. This particular location is a little far of a drive from where I live but whenever I am in south kc I always make an attempt to stop at Gomers South.

Gomer's South has a very large selection of Missouri's finest beers. They get the occasional rare gem, as often as any store in KC, but mostly this place offers a great selection of shelf beer with good prices and good service. If you are south in KC this place will have anything that you might need. They are also part of the Gomer's chain of stores so if they don't have it, you can check if any of the other 4 have what you are looking for. Like most places the majority of the store space is wine but there is some knowledgeable beer people and if you are looking for some wine they have great people for that also.

Hit these guys on the way into town. Nothing super rare in offer, sigh.
Quality all sampled brews seemed good
Great service, very friendly & helpful
Selection wise they had a much better selection of Bells, Founders, Southern Tier & Arcadia than we get in Joplin, although I saw some brands were not stocked there but not enough that I would mind trading selections
Some prices were a touch high I thought, a case of various bells beers & 5 bombers ran me $90ish
Would hit this again if in there area, fairly easy to get to off of 71....

Stopped into Gomer's during a recent trip to KC. American craft beers were pretty well represented and it seemed like the imports took a bit of a backseat. I was a bit bummed out by the feeble selection from Bell's and Founders, I ended up leaving without any of either and still managed to spend over $100. Plenty of Schlafly and other regional favorites. Service was ok, left me alone to browse the shelves and answered the few questions I did have. Most of the beers seemed pretty fresh from the stamps I looked at. I would stop in here again next time I am in town, but also would check out Lukas and Royal as they are fairly close by.

This book is about a week I spent wandering around the streets of Barcelona in November 2008. I was interested in how the city had changed since i had last been there in 1963. I mostly took pictures of old and new architecture plus small accidental details of urban life and people, often including my own hand. I shot them all at an angle of 45 degrees to give a more dynamic effect. I put the photos in two vertical image containers per page with four across a two page spread for a highly energetic visual composition.
This is the first of my "activity" interactive book projects --where I would like the reader to become more involved in the process of making and experiencing the book itself with a set of simple manual instructions.
I ask the person who buys the book online to take about ten minutes and work on transforming the book into a new physical creation .For "Barcelona Unfolds" this means that all the forty pages of the book must be neatly folded, either to the right or left, down the center edge in the middle of the page.This will create a series of twenty "gatefolds" that can be carefully opened or closed as you turn all the pages in sequence. Also, both front and back covers should be carefully bent inwards to make two large protective jacket flaps.
Doing this hand work with an online product makes the book have a more personal involvement with the owner as he participates in making the book come alive and kinetic.
Plus the intricate "gatefolds" themselves slow down the reading process, by not letting us just ' flip' quickly through the pages as we have all become too accustomed to doing in an era of instant image recognition.
Additionally, the secretive "gatefolds" , with their many hidden surprises, perhaps give us the experience of wandering aimlessly through a new city, turning unexpected corners, going down alleys and up long staircases, meeting strangers and new lovers, getting lost, taking buses and metros to the end of the line, noticing weird signs and humanoid trashcans, etc. all combine for a participation in the slightly surreal dislocated dreamlike world of the traveller.
Please visit my website www.arthurtress.com to see more of my work or check out the other books I have in my blurb bookstore.
Also, i have a new book published this month called "Skate Park". It can be found on Amazon for $45.00. it was originally a blurb book called "Wheels On Waves' but it found a real world publisher called Birch Books and you can even order it from his website Birchbooks.com. The book is 12x12 inches ,hardcover, well designed and beautifully printed with 100 pages of exciting skate boarding action photos. A great gift for your son or daughter, sister or brother who loves skateboarding.

On Monday, the PGA of America announced that Davis Love III will captain the United States' Ryder Cup team in 2012. This comes a day after José María Olazábal was chosen to serve as captain for the European team. From the Miami Herald:
"From his Ryder Cup rookie year in 1993 to today, Davis has performed so well under pressure and now brings that experience to lead our next United States team and win back the Ryder Cup," said PGA of America president Allen Wronowski in a statement.
Davis, age 46, has one major tournament title under his belt, the 1997 PGA Championship. He has a total of 20 career PGA Tour wins. He's already hinted at the approach he plans to take as captain:
"What we have been missing is getting over the nerves of being ready to play on the biggest stage. We've just tried too hard and I'll be trying to get the players as relaxed and freed up as I can. I am a players' captain and I'm going to get them what they need to be successful. I'm not going to tell the best players in the world how to play golf. I'm going to let them show their talents."
The next Ryder Cup will take place at Medinah Country Club near Chicago on September 28th through 30th of 2012. For more, check out SB Nation's golf blog, Waggle Room.

The Man With The Movie Camera:Dziga Vertov (1929)
Lenfilm on YouTube
The facilities and land of the Leningrad film studio were nationalized in 1918 and it was established as a Soviet State-funded film industry. Within just a few years it bore several different names, such as "Petrograd Cinema Committee" and "SevZapKino" among various others. In 1923 the nationalized Aquarium garden was merged with "SevZapKino" and several smaller studios to form the Soviet State-controlled film industry in St. Petersburg. During 1924 - 1926 it was temporarily named Leningrad Film Factory Goskino and eventually changed its name several times during the 1920s and 1930s. In 1934 it was named Lenfilm (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lenfilm)

(FOX 11) The rental experts at "Lovely" did the math on how much money renters can save by living with roommates.
And with rent prices increasing in the Southland as much as 15% in recent months, Lovely CEO & founder Blake Pierson told our investigative producer Heidi Cuda that Angelenos can save about 25% on a per bedroom basis by living with one roommate.
"I'm seeing more and more people across the board, all ages, young, old, being forced because of the economy and prices going up… to find roommates," says Pierson. "If we look at Beverly Hills, for most people it's unaffordable. But if you're willing to live with three roommates, you can save close to 45% per bedroom."

GALESBURG, Ill. -- The Knox College community is trying to heal after the loss of one of their own in an apparent hit and run crash.
Meanwhile, the woman charged in connection with the death appeared in court via video on Monday.
The Knox County State's Attorney alleges that 33-year-old Smith was driving near Knox College early Sunday morning when she struck Seminat Lawani, also referred to as Tundun. Smith has been charged with two counts of leaving the scene of an accident and two counts of Aggravated Driving Under the Influence.
Knox College officials say Lawani was a junior, and they are offering grief counselors for their students.
"We certainly have nothing but the deepest sympathy that goes out to the Lawani family," said Knox College Communications Officer Sean Riedel. "That is a unified experience for all of us here on campus. This was a deep loss to the entire community."
Smith's bond was send at $100,000. She will appear in Knox County court again on November 5.

Catlin Gabel's Eyrie Challenge Course
Submitted by Nadine Fiedler on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 11:47am
Team building, risk-taking, and discovery
From the Winter 2011-12 Caller
By David Reich '80, Challenge Course Manager
Catlin Gabel recently built a state-of-the-art challenge course in the wooded part of campus around the athletic fields. It is a great tool for hands-on learning in a beautiful natural setting and a new expression of the school's commitment to experiential education.
I like to say that a day on a challenge course is like speeding up time, when it comes to individual growth or group dynamics. Like many outdoor adventures, the challenge course pushes participants out of their comfort zone and into areas of learning and growth. Participants push their own perceived limits, and discover how they perform under pressure. Teams learn how to constructively give and receive support, and individuals see how working with others collaboratively can help a team achieve more than they had previously thought they could accomplish.
Constructed from wood, cable, and rope, and strung between trees and platforms either just above the ground or high in the air, Catlin Gabel's challenge course consists of four high elements and eight low elements. These "elements" or individual structures combine vertical climbing challenges and horizontal obstacle or initiative challenges. As a team is made up of individuals with complementary skills, it is important to maximize the opportunities for each person to contribute toward the team goals. The various challenge course elements allow participants to explore different levels of personal exposure, provide opportunities to learn about cooperation, open lines of communication, and develop skills in problem-solving, leadership, and coaching—and self-esteem.
Challenge course activities provide an environment that is full of new experiences and personal discoveries. They establish a setting that allows the facilitator to work with the group, helping them with debriefing and reflection, focusing on teamwork objectives and preparing them for bigger challenges— or the challenges found in the everyday world. We invite groups or organizations outside of Catlin Gabel to use the challenge course. It's a great opportunity for corporate team building and professional development, designed to:
• Build team interdependence
• Build collaborative problem solving
• Develop risk-taking skills
• Open channels of communications
• Identify and develop leadership skills
• Clarify roles and responsibilities
• Strengthen relationships
Based on the needs and assessment of the particular visiting group, we will design a unique program to provide the best possible experience for group members. The course was designed and built according to national guidelines and standards, and a trained and certified facilitator with experience in working with adult groups supervises all activities on the challenge course.
Half or full day programs are available, with a gourmet chef to prepare lunch on campus. Call (503-297-1894 ext. 386) or email me for an appointment to tour the facility or to discuss your specific group needs. Visit our pages on the Catlin Gabel website, too.

Today, a needless and reckless government shutdown continues. There is no reason for us to be in this situation. Our government is closed because 40 or so radical tea party Republicans refuse to vote for any funding bill that doesn't delay or defund the Affordable Care Act.
This is a fight they've lost nearly 50 times in Congress, in a national election and in the U.S. Supreme Court. Keeping the government shut down because Democrats want to make sure people can buy affordable health insurance is a thoughtless disregard for responsible governance and the people we serve.
Democrats have compromised. I agreed to support a funding measure that included $72 billion in annualized across-the-board spending cuts to keep the government open. The Senate passed this legislation multiple times before the government closed. But this wasn't enough for the tea party wing of the House majority — for them to vote for any measure the Affordable Care Act had to be defunded or delayed.
Their refusal to compromise is hurting our economy and country. It's putting 800,000 federal employees out of work and delaying paychecks for two million more, cutting off food-safety operations and infectious disease surveillance, stopping important medical research, halting the disbursement of new small business loans and costing the taxpayers $150 million a day.
Now the House majority is trying to pass piecemeal funding measures to fund things like our national parks and the Department of Veterans Affairs. These bills are nothing more than cynical political ploys designed to lessen the outrage the House majority is facing for shutting down the government.
By passing these piecemeal measures, the House majority is choosing which people the government works for and which people it ignores. That's not the way government works. It's irresponsible. And while it might be good for politics, it's terrible for our country.
The right thing to do for our nation would be to pass the Senate's compromise government funding legislation that protects health care reform and reduces spending. I stand ready to support such a bill. Democrats stand ready to support such a bill. And many responsible members of the Republican Party in the House stand ready to pass such a bill. If it was put on the floor of the House today, it would be passed and our government would be open tomorrow.

C-Pop ?
A while back I found a 1949 cub,that I bought as a project for my son and I to work on together. We knew nothing about tractors or farming at all,just thought it was cool.Learning along the way,we got the cub working and found a few implements. We still have alot of work to do on both the tractor and the implements. The learning never stops. Some of you may know me as "Colin's dad". Colin has been on this forum before and has been to a cubfest in Ohio, he tells me that you all are very nice people. C-Pop ; colin's pop.
Climb aboard and enjoy the ride. I know Colin was at CubFest 2006, but unfortunately we didn't meet. (AFAIK). Those action packed days pass too quickly!
Maybe next year at CubFest 2007 we can fix that and I'll meet you both, since it won't be far away.
It's true... Cubs do indeed attract good people.

Colin's Pop:
First, to the greatest forum on the internet, and to the Cub Family. You will find that all the folks on this forum are kind, helpful and just full of Cub info and knowledge. They also happen to be the finest folks I have ever met
I normally pop my Welcome Wagon in, and I thought that I would include a few other comments as part of your welcome to the family.
I have yet to meet Colin, but I have heard all kinds of good things about your son.. from those who met him and his Mom at CubFest. It warms the cockles of my heart to see father and son teams as well as father and daughter teams taking part in restoring one of the greatest tractors of all time. The bonding that can occur when a project like this comes along is both priceless and irreplaceable. These are memories you will both carry through your lives, and will be able to reflect upon often. It is a special gift and a special time.. please make the most of it.. as you truly are one of the lucky ones
It is the family connective stuff which drives many of us in this community. It is very much like a very very large extended family this community of ours. I am not sure why exactly, but I can attest to the fact that this community of ours is filled with very very special and good people who really care. Ask me... they have extended their friendship to me in the roughest of times, and all with out question or without being asked... it is mind blowing. It also reminds me, as well as countless others I guess, what it was like when we were growing up, and for some of us that goes back a half century or more.. back to the "Good Old Days".
I am sure that you will enjoy being part of this group. There is so much we all have to teach each other and learn from each other, and not all of it necessarily has to do with Cubs, but certainly has to do with family, friends and all facets of life..
Welcome, and when you get a chance, please, please do attend a CubFest or maybe Cub-a-rama with Colin and your better half when possible. I know I certainly enjoyed hosting CubFest Northeast 2004, and I and my wife are looking forward to meeting so many of our Forum Friends at CubFest Northeast 2006 in Kinderhook NY...
Ok, so here is the spiel :
I would suggest that you read this thread: New Members and Visitors, Please READ Prior to Posting. There are many great links to informative pages such as the ATIS FAQ's 1 and ATIS FAQ's 2, The Best of H.L. Chauvin who has written very interesting articles on troubleshooting common problems with your Cub.
Also, you might want to visit the Cub Manual Server as there is tons of info on servicing, maintaining and re-building your Cub. In addition to this basic information, there are also a number of other useful tools available on the server. There is the Specialty Services page which has contact info for neat stuff like getting your seats recovered, buying quality Decals, Serial Number tags and a host of other neat items. Also there are the Parts Pages - both Used Parts Suppliers and New Parts Suppliers pages with links to quality dealers. I am always looking for YOUR favourite dealers for New and Used Parts to include here. These pages are intended to complement our Official FarmallCub.com Website Sponsors:
I would also recommend that you visit Binder Books and purchase the three most important manuals you can own for Maintenance, Repair and Rebuilding your Cub. These are the Owner's Manual, the GSS-1411 Service Manual and the TC-37F Parts Manual. Although they are available on the Cub Manual Server, it is better is you also have your own paper copy. Binder Books is the only Authorized IH Publication Reprint House and they have the best quality manuals available. Most other's are not of the same quality. Just a personal thought here, the I&T Shop Manuals, although helpful in some areas, really are not sufficient for the job. If you wish though, they are good additional reference works.
IF you really want to get the skinny on all things Cub, might I suggest you get a copy of Ken Updike's Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet's . While you are at it Original Farmall Cub and Cub Cadet is Ken's latest addition to the series. Along with Guy Fay's Letter Series Originality Guide, these are three must have's in anyone's collection.
In addition to the above information, don't forget to check out the various articles that are available to help with your Repair, Restore, Rebuild or just your Maintenance Projects. There are a number of sub pages such as Electrolysis or Rust Zapper's, Maintenance Tips, Jigs and Techniques, Implement and Part Sketches and of course the Paint, Decals & Other Finish Questions which has the Paint Chart and the Paint Committee Decisions links.
Oh, and while the program still lasts.. you might want to check the Announcement: Navistar Free Gas Cap Offer - On-Line Form thread at the top of the Cub Forum and send away for the new style safety cap before that program runs out as well.
I truly hope that you enjoy your Cub and that you will be a frequent contributor to the forum. Again, to the Cub Family

knew nothing about her just the year she was born
I washed her and greased her and painted her red
Now she lives happily right here in my shed.

Things I liked:These shoot great in my pellet pistol. No need to buy the R-10's for practice at over twice the price.
Things I would have changed:nothing
What others should know:These are a great economical pellet that seems to be very consistent and has worked well in most of my airguns. Sure makes practice a lot cheaper.
Things I liked:Great ammo for the price. Works fine in all of my pellet air guns. You can spend more and get somewhat better accuracy, but not sure the extra cost is worth it. I buy much more expensive ammo. when I really want to get the absolute best accuracy an air gun can produce, but normally use this brand when just having fun is the aim.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. Great ammo.
Things I liked:The RWS Hobby has been the standard by which other pellets are judged for many years. They are uniform in weight and configuration and shoot well out of all of my .177 weapons. The cross the chronograph just over 750 fps from my Webley Alectro Ultra with threee pumps.
Things I would have changed:Nothing. This is an excellent product.

Saying Grace: Food, Justice, and Sustainability
Photos from this year's conference
Photos from 2010
Author and preacher Barbara Brown Taylor, the Butman Professor of Philosophy and Religion at Piedmont, led a two-day symposium titled, "Saying Grace: Food, Justice, and Sustainability" in Athens.
Representatives from Koinonia Farm and Georgia Organics conducted workshops at the conference, which examined the ethical, social and practical issues related to what we eat. The conference was held Feb. 18-19 at the Classic Center and at Piedmont College in Athens.
Workshops were conducted by Sarah Prendergast of Koinonia Farm, a Christian farm community near Americus. Koinonia was founded in 1942 by Clarence Jordan, author of "The Cotton Patch Gospel," to promote racial equality. Ed Taylor of Georgia Organics discussed that organization's promotion of sustainable and locally grown foods in Georgia.
Barbara Brown Taylor delivered the keynote address on the topic "Is the Bible Green?" Norman Wirzba, research professor of theology, ecology, and rural life at Duke Divinity School, delivered the plenary address on "The Grace of Good Food: Eating and the Life of Faith." The conference also included a concert by Mississippi singer/songwriter Kate Campbell.
This year's symposium also included a workshop for youth leaders in various settings. Tim Hudson, a Piedmont senior philosophy and religion major, discussed methods to reconnect teenagers to the creation and the creator.

Founded by James Finbarre McMullen in Cork City in the late 19th Century. They were responsible for many works in and around Cork, most notably the Honan Chapel.
His son, also called James Finbarre, carried on the practice but died relatively young in 1957.
I was wondering if anyone had ever come across information on this practice - were they taken over by another firm or did they carry on?
I know it's a long shot and unlikely that anyone is still around who worked for them but if anyone can help I would be really grateful!

Francona signs on to manage Indians
Francona signs on to manage Indians
CLEVELAND (AP) — Terry Francona signed a four-year contract with the Cleveland Indians. He hopes to stay even longer.
"I don't want to be a rental manager," Francona said Monday as he was introduced as the club's 42nd manager. "I didn't want to come in worried. I want to be part of the solution. I want to stick around.
"I didn't come here to go to pasture."
Francona, who led the Boston Red Sox to two World Series titles, was hired over the weekend by the Indians. He was chosen over Sandy Alomar Jr., who served as the club's final six games after Manny Acta was fired. Francona takes overs an Indians team that collapsed from contention by going 5-24 in August and finishing 68-94, the third time in the past four seasons they have lost at least 90 games.

Edward Kennedy, a US Senator since 1962, has passed away after losing his battle with brain cancer. Kennedy was 77 years old and was the third longest serving Senator behind Strom Thurmond and Robert Byrd.
Regardless of your opinion of Ted Kennedy's politics, I think we would all agree that he, and the entire Kennedy family, have dedicated their lives to public service.
Kennedy, the youngest of nine siblings, experienced tremendous loss and so much tragedy throughout his life, including the loss of two brothers to assassins. His career also was marred by scandal, specifically Chappaquiddick, and other struggles with personal behavior.
But he never gave up and to the end stayed committed to his beliefs. He worked the political system to ensure legislation he was passionate about became law, even if it meant compromising with his Republican counterparts.
So, like him or hate him, Ted Kennedy made his mark on our country. In today's world of politics by polling and partisanship, we've lost one of the few American originals who helped shape our national debate for the past 46 years.
That's my perspective. What's yours?

Today's Word of the Day means...
A follower or disciple of Jesus; someone who believes Jesus is the Christ or Messiah. The New Testament mentions that the followers of Jesus were first called Christians within a few years after his death.
A follower of Jesus and his teachings. Christian is also a descriptive term for the institutions and practices of Christianity.
the name given by the Greeks or Romans, probably in reproach, to the followers of Jesus. It was first used at Antioch. The names by which the disciples were known among themselves were "brethren," "the faithful," "elect," "saints," "believers." But as distinguishing them from the multitude without, the name "Christian" came into use, and was universally accepted. This name occurs but three times in the New Testament (Acts 11:26; 26:28; 1 Pet. 4:16).

Great Britain's Peter Wilson won gold in the men's double trap shooting event by two shots over Sweden's Hakan Dahlby. After Britain's poor shooting performance in 2008, UK Sport cut all of Wilson's funding, but his parents funded his training until he could raise enough money through fundraising events. Russia's Vasily Mosin took the bronze after beating Kuwait's Fehaid Aldeehani in a shoot off.
Russia may have only taken bronze in shooting, but with Vladimir Putin looking on, Russian Tagir Khaibulaev took home the gold medal in men's half-heavyweight (100 kg) judo after defeating Mongolia's Tuvshinbayar Naidan by ippon. Germany's Dimitri Peters claimed one bronze medal and Henk Grol of the Netherlands won the other bronze medal match.
Meanwhile, on the whitewater, France's Emilie Fer won gold in the women's kayak singles slalom with a time of 105.9 seconds. Australia's Jessica Fox took silver and Spain's Maialen Chourraut bronze; both women finished within one second of Fer's winning time.
