Guthrie tweets, plays catch, gains new friend
Cancer survivor Roseland throws with right-hander at Coors Field
DENVER -- It was a special day, if not a lucky one, for Woody Roseland.A bone cancer known as osteosarcoma -- an aggressive malignancy that usually occurs during a time of rapid growth -- led to doctors replacing his left knee during his junior year of high school. From there, he has needed several surgeries to remove tumors from his lungs. After a long period of nagging pain in his left calf, doctors decided to remove his left leg from above the knee on June 14, 2011. After the amputation, he underwent 12 rounds of chemotherapy. Finally, on the morning of April 10, the staff at Presbyterian St. Luke's Hospital in Denver told him he was clear of cancer. However, Roseland, 21, understands good news and good luck often have an expiration date. "There have been a lot of times in my life when they were like, 'You're done with chemotherapy,'" Roseland said. "And I was, 'All right, sweet.' I felt healthy. I felt ready to take on the world. Then three months later it's -- I get scans again, and it's in my lungs. It's kind of been a recurring theme to hear that I'm cancer-free and then for it to come back." So he didn't take being cancer-free as permission to take a break, but a call to live. Little did he know that when he checked Twitter just moments after leaving the hospital office with the encouraging news, he would find an invitation for the day of his life, playing catch with Rockies pitcher Jeremy Guthrie at Coors Field.
Guthrie had never met Roseland, or hardly anyone else in Denver. He joined the Rockies in a Feb. 6 trade with the Orioles, and not long after that was in Scottsdale, Ariz., at Spring Training. He had never even been to Coors Field, his new home. But he also has never played the role of the lonely new guy."My wife can tell you I can meet someone random and in 10 minutes we can come away feeling like we've known each other for years," Guthrie said. "In Mexico, I met a Spaniard there. We played beach volleyball for two days, and by the end we were exchanging emails. She was like, 'You just met this guy playing volleyball, he's like 50, and you guys are best friends.'" So, after the Rockies played the first three games of their season at Houston, one of them being Guthrie's seven-inning performance in a win on Opening Day, Guthrie figured his popular Twitter account was a way to get to know at least someone in his new home. Little did he know that the answer to the invitation to play catch would be a call to a new type of friendship. This could easily be seen as a testament to the wonders of social media, as the technology helped Roseland and the pitcher quickly become fast friends. Coors Field was empty since the Rockies were off. And Guthrie, on his Twitter account, @jguthrie46, asked if anyone living in downtown Denver was free for a game of catch during lunch. @woodyroseland replied that he had a glove and finished with, "let's do this." But the people, more than the technology, drive this story.
Roseland has spent his entire life looking to smile and help others do the same, regardless of the circumstances. He admits having teachers from elementary school on admonish him for cracking jokes at the wrong times. But he was 16, playing wide receiver on the football team at Smoky Hill High School in Aurora, Colo., and pole vaulting in track when cancer was discovered and he had to have his left knee replaced.He finds ways to smile about his lost opportunity in football. The team switched from a running offense to a passing one while he was going through his ordeal. "The people that were backing me up had, like, 700 yards receiving," he said. "I was like, 'Oh, man, this is the worst time to get cancer.'" But he said cancer won't necessarily end his track career. "I actually met this girl who is an amputee pole vaulter; I'd never thought about it before," he said. "As soon as I get my running prosthetic I'm thinking of starting to pole vault again. I don't see why not. I'll be able to put that on my resume: World record holder." The ability to smile through pain led to an opportunity to do standup at Comedy Works in Denver. He poked fun at himself, even did a rap calling himself, "The illest rapper ever." However, Roseland found that, even when riddled by cancer, he could never feel the inner misery that seems to run through some of the best comedians. Bitterness doesn't inspire. So Roseland's aspirations are toward inspirational speaking and writing. He's majoring in business marketing at Metropolitan State University of Denver, taking courses online as his health improves. Roseland has made himself available to speak at schools, corporate initiatives, parties -- anywhere that he can deliver a message. He is scheduled to speak at the Technology Entertainment and Design's TEDxMileHigh conference in Denver on June 2. "I let comedy complement what I do, instead of being all that I do," he said. "With my experience of having cancer five times, I can use that to relate to people, connect with them and do something that makes a difference in their lives instead of just getting on stage and telling jokes." It's also clear that baseball is a way of reaching people for Guthrie. Guthrie is full of surprising little ways he is able to share his time with others. Last week, he tweeted that he would be more than happy to play catch with folks in the 16th Street Mall in Denver. He did exactly that, and sent out the pictures to prove it. On Saturday, the Rockies put Guthrie on the 15-day disabled list after he injured his right shoulder in a bicycle accident. But Guthrie won't let a spill dissuade him. Not only does he stand by his bike rides as a healthy and environmentally responsible way of going to work, it allows him to meet people. "Fans would talk to me every night on the bike, and I would go out all the time in Baltimore, whether to the ESPN Zone or eating at the Inner Harbor or down at the park," Guthrie said. "In Baltimore, you ran into the fans quite a bit based on where we were and our lifestyle. "Sometimes I'll play catch with fans during batting practice. I'll look out in left field and say, 'Hey, you want to play catch?' Or I'll start playing catch with them. That was one of my trademarks in Baltimore -- play catch with a fan every few days. If they caught a home run, I'd say, 'Throw it to me.' They'd be hesitant, but then they'd throw it and I'd throw it back. Then we'd just start playing catch." So it seemed so fitting that on April 10, two people who have unique ways of reaching out to others would end up in touch with one another.
Although Roseland never played baseball, he always followed the Rockies, and the 2007 Rocktober run to the World Series remains a fresh memory. At some point during a healthy period, he and his friends began playing catch and experimenting with different pitches. Little did he know it was preparation for a special game of catch.Roseland arrived at Coors Field and security let him travel corridors within the stadium he'd never see otherwise. He was welcomed warmly into the Rockies' clubhouse, where he and Guthrie would talk pitch strategy and get to know one another. Just out of chemo, Roseland was and still is not quite at the stage where his hair and eyebrows would reappear. He also figured the conversation would make it to the mechanical wonder that was serving as his left leg. Months before, Roseland met then-Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, but it was right before a game. They never really had a chance to move beyond pleasantries and photo ops. This would be different. "I was interested to see his reaction," Roseland said. "Going from a non-amputee to an amputee, you see how people treat you differently. He was totally cool about it, [a] really nice guy, really down to earth. We chatted for a while before he even asked me about it. He was like, 'If you don't mind me asking, what happened?' "If Jeremy wasn't famous, he'd still be a cool guy. He'd still collect sneakers, ride his bike around and play chess. It's important to stay grounded, still be who you are, even if you do get fame like he has, being a Major League Baseball player, or like I may, being a motivational speaker, writer, whatever it may be." When they made it to the field, Guthrie was impressed. Throwing from 90 feet gave Guthrie just the limbering his arm needed that day. They also made it to the mound, where Roseland made a few tosses and pictured what it must have been like for his beloved Rockies in 2007. But the one-on-one talking will always stand out for Guthrie. "People say, 'You did it for the attention,'" said Guthrie, who is thinking of offering fans an opportunity to go biking with him on a future off-day. "Certainly, I did it for the attention, but not for this attention. When I first sent out the tweet, there would be Twitter attention from my Twitter followers. Obviously, it took a much different turn. "The neatest thing is the attention for Woody and brightening his day. He enjoys sharing his story. He has many goals -- to overcome the disease and go out and do things. This is neat for him. It brings a smile to his face and brings attention to his cause." Roseland realizes all days won't be like April 10. Because the cancer has returned so many times, he realizes there is a high chance of it coming back. He's seen it happen to others, especially Jace, a 7-year-old. "Same diagnosis, same everything, went through everything side-by-side, went into remission together, then it came back for him and he ended up dying three months later," Roseland said. He fights for Jace and others who have been taken by the dreaded disease. He also lets others know that days like April 10 are possible. "It was pretty magical," Roseland said. "The grass was perfect. The dirt was perfect. It was pretty spectacular. It was definitely a surreal experience, especially when we came out of those doors and into the dugout. "As I'm walking up the stairs of the dugout -- I've seen that on TV a million times -- it was like, 'Whoa.'" "Whoa," in this case, means to never, ever stop.

Wheatus Tour Announcement Imminent
Joining their current barrage of late '90s/early '00s acts coming to town (S Club, Eiffel 65 and N-Trance to name a few) Big Apachee Tours have created a Facebook page, suggesting a tour from New York rock group Wheatus, who rose to a fleeting moment of fame with their 2000 single Teenage Dirtbag.
Though it only made it to number two on the US charts, Teenage Dirtbag was number on the Australian charts for four weeks as well as being the second highest selling single of that year.
While front man Brendan B. Brown is the only original member from the Teenage Dirtbag era, the continually-rotating band have since released a string of albums and EPs over the last 12 years.
Though there are no official dates or venues released for the tour, information will be released through Big Apachee's Facebook page for the impending tour.

Eagles Blast Owls 7-1
KENNESAW, Ga. - Jason Peacock (Bartow, Fla.) helped spark a 7-1 victory over Kennesaw State by going 4-for-5 with a two run homerun in the first, while Richard Bleier (Davie, Fla.) picked up the win, going all nine with five strikeouts. The Eagles improve to 13-3 (6-1 A-Sun) with the win on Friday night at Stillwell Stadium, while the Owls dropped to 5-10 (2-2 A-Sun).
FGCU took a 2-0 lead in the first. Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) singled up the middle with one out. Two batters later Jason Peacock blasted his fourth homerun of the season to leftfield to the Eagles the early lead.
The Eagles would add to the lead in the third when Mikel Alvarez connected for a solo-homerun to right field to put the Eagles up 3-0.
The Eagles would put the Owls away in the eighth, putting up four runs. Senior Stephen Rassel (Lake City, Fla.) legged out a single to the third baseman to lead off the inning. Peacock singled to right, Ozzie Borrell (Hialeah, Fla.) doubled down the right field line to bring in Rassel, and the final blow came when senior Vinnie Scarduzio (Jupiter, Fla.) lined a bases loaded double to the left center gap, scoring Peacock, Borrell, and Bissell.
The only Owl run came in the ninth on a double play ball hit by Ric Bishop, scoring Jacob Robbins who recorded three of the four Owls hits.
Chad Jenkins (1-2) took the loss for the Owls, allowing six runs on 11 hits with seven strikeouts in seven-plus innings of work.
Richard Bleier (3-0) earned the win, shutting down the Owls until an unearned run scored in the ninth. Bleier gave up just four hits while striking out five Owls batters to earn his first complete game of the season.
The two teams will wrap up their series tomorrow with a doubleheader scheduled to start at 1:00pm at Stillwell Stadium.

Hazy burnt golden orange with golden edges and a thin eggshell-colored crown. This beer leaves lines of lacing down the glass. Gorgeous.
This is a hop-forward aroma, especially for a pale ale. The citrus and floral elements battle for dominance. The citrus notes are bright and vibrant: orange and grapefruit especially, awash in aromas of fresh cut flowers and grass.
The flavor is just as good as the aroma. This is pretty bitter for a pale ale, but the citrus and floral elements are still able to shine through. This is a complete, incredibly drinkable, delicious pale ale. Incredibly well done.
Medium bodied with ample carbonation, though a bit thick and heavy.
This is certainly one of the best pale ales I've ever had.

Gold in color with a thick white head. A nice pale malt and bread aroma up front. Lots of citrus hops and citrus peel to go with the sweetness. Plenty of floral hops and a mild pine aroma as well. The flavor also has the sweet bread and toffee character as the aroma. There is also a strong flavor of citrus peel and fresh orange and grapefruit. Good floral and pine hop notes, too.

T: Upper moderate dry bitterness with a lot of orange pith. Malt is light and doesn't impart much flavor or sweetness. No alcohol is evident. There's some tangerine flesh. Bitterness increases in the finish.
M: Lower medium body with lower high carbonation.
Overall: A solid pale ale. Very bitter with a nice nose.

Mason's Mission by Amanda - about 1 year ago
"My son is a CDH survivor who currently has a lot of medical issues going on and has had 3 surgeries since September and 17 total with 1 more coming up. He is Mason and he is 10. He is in the yellow hat. Mason gets treated at Golisano Childrens Hospital in Rochester NY. And every year they have an event called Stroll for Strong kids that we participate in and raise money for the hospital. We had a small group this year but next year I hope to be bigger and better. Winning the $100.00 would help with ordering more shirts for next year. Thank you, Amanda Martello"

Studies reveal the value of activism
03 Dec 2012
New data suggests that investors who actively engage with the companies they own to improve governance and strategy outperform more hands-off rivals. The new findings will likely drive interest in activist investing, which gained a boost during the "shareholder spring" earlier this year.

SUNRISE Virtual Reality Inc. has developed a new generation of virtual reality education software in which users wear a visor and glove to simulate an environment that looks and feels like the real world. The company offers programs in subjects such as social studies, science, math, reading, fine arts and cognitive skills; with new titles being offered monthly. In the chemistry program, students can "touch" a periodic table and interact with molecules. In the history program, students can fly over the Amazon jungle or travel back in time to visit ancient Egypt. Virtual reality combines the power of a computer, the information of an encyclopedia, the imagery of a movie and aspects of real life into one learning experience.
The software is designed in cooperation with teachers to be easily integrated into lesson plans. Aligned to state and national standards, the programs also can be used to complement existing lessons. A classroom only needs a computer, the visor and glove to get started with virtual reality. The company's philosophy is that every child and worker should be given innovative learning tools to understand and discover the world. SUNRISE especially supports the underserved elementary communities of Chicago. For more information, visit www.sunrisevr.com.

Not only did Greg Jackson not choose sides in the championship fight between Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) welterweight champion Georges St. Pierre and former interim titleholder Carlos Condit this past weekend (Nov. 17, 2012) at UFC 154 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, he didn't even bother watching it at home.
And he doesn't ever intend too, either.
Appearing on today's' (Nov. 19, 2012) edition of "The MMA Hour," Jackson, who is at the helm of one of the most powerful combat sports gyms in the world in Jackson-Winkeljohn Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) in Albuquerque, New Mexico, explained why he didn't even bother to order the UFC 154 pay-per-view (PPV) and why he won't even watch a replay down the road.
"It was just a little too personal for me. I love both of those guys and it is just business and they did what they had to do, but for me, it was kind of a personal thing and it's not something I enjoy. So, I hung out with the family and didn't participate. A few people were asking me and I said no, it wasn't like I was dying for play-by-play or anything like that. I got updates after it was done and everybody let me know it was good and everybody was okay and that was my main concern. Everybody was fine and it's time to move on, I guess."
When asked if he would watch the bout for future training purposes, Jackson had this to say:
"Nah, I don't think so. There might be (advantages in seeing the fight) but, I know Carlos so well, I know his style so well that I probably won't need to see the fight just because it's already in the noggin."
"Rush" defeated "The Natural Born Killer" via unanimous decision in what was a very entertaining back-and-forth five round affair (watch it here). St. Pierre didn't show any of the much-feared "ring rust," instead showing aggressiveness and taking down Condit at will while surviving a third round scare after a high left kick to the dome sent him crashing to the canvas.
Carlos was unable to capitalize and finish St. Pierre, as "Rush" shook off the cobwebs and survived the round on his way to his seventh straight title defense.
Jackson went on to say that he doesn't feel he would have made a difference in the outcome of the bout for either Georges or Carlos had he been present, labeling Condit an "amazing fighter" with Jackson himself only being a "little bit" of what he does.
Now that UFC 154 is in the rear-view mirror, Condit and Jackson can reunite to help the former World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) 170-pound kingpin climb back up the ranks of the UFC's welterweight mountain and possibly earn himself another crack at obtaining a world title, somewhere down the road.
How about it Maniacs, can you appreciate Jackson's decision to stay neutral throughout this whole ordeal, going as far as choosing to not even watch the title fight between two of his best pupils?

Leave it to Jules and Peggy — lighting designers Jules Fisher and Peggy Eisenhauer, that is — to come up with the hard-hitting, emotionally motivated lighting that gives the performance scenes in Dreamgirls an incredible edginess as the film tracks the rise to fame of a Detroit-based female trio called The Dreams. Wait a minute. Did I say film? Yep, I certainly did. While other major musicals are enjoying successful revivals on stage, the 1981 Broadway hit Dreamgirls is now a major motion picture (co-produced by DreamWorks Pictures and Paramount Pictures), with the star power of Beyoncé Knowles in the role of Deena Jones and the star-is-born sensation of Jennifer Hudson as Effie White.
Written and directed by Bill Condon, the film was released in time for the 2006 holiday season. It takes a backstage look at the cutthroat nature of show business, and the rough road encountered on the way to success in the music business in particular. The story begins in Detroit, the Motor City and home of Motown, the black urban music genre that was born there. The girl group in Dreamgirls is based on The Supremes, with Deena modeled on Diana Ross and Jamie Foxx as Curtis Taylor, Jr., a fictional version of the famous Motown promoter and head of Motown Records Berry Gordy, Jr.
Dreamgirls alternates between a 1960s realistic, gritty, urban environment to the glitz and glamour on stage, as the action segues from the book scenes and the performance numbers. These transitions work smoothly, thanks to a seamless collaboration by Fisher and Eisenhauer and the film's cinematographer, Tobias Schliessler, and production designer John Myhre. Fisher and Eisenhauer are no strangers to the film world, having worked on several films before Dreamgirls, including the Academy Award-winning Chicago, for which Condon wrote the screenplay.
Light It Like The 60s
"I almost fainted when they asked us to do the film. I loved the musical," says Eisenhauer, who was in college when Dreamgirls opened on Broadway. "We wanted to do the musical numbers not just as straight musical numbers but explore breaking them out of the stage environment and creating a language that would work for that, collaborating with the cinematographer to make it all one look."
The musical numbers begin in the early 1960s, and the lighting reflects the era. "Luckily, they started shooting at the top of the script, which is not always the case," notes Fisher. "But that was good for us, as in 1962, the lighting technology was much simpler." When asked what he used as a reference for the kind of gear and colors used back then, Fisher smiles wisely. "I lived through those years," he says. "I used mental pictures of what I thought the period lighting actually was."
Although the lighting is meant to reflect the 60s, it is not 100% historically accurate in terms of gear. "Due to the documentary nature of this film, the lighting had to look correct in terms of time and place," says Eisenhauer. "The director or the audience might not know what was correct, time-wise, in terms of lighting equipment, so we were able to push the boundaries." Fisher adds, "If the end result was something more dramatic and powerful, we could heighten the look and still not have it ring false."
For the first number, a local talent show where The Dreams perform, the LDs used period lighting instruments including old batten strip lights that they found in the old vaudeville houses in Los Angeles where the musical scenes for Dreamgirls were shot. What the camera sees is period lighting; what the camera doesn't see are the 3,000°K Strong and Lycian followspots.
"The followspot was a big machine to create images in those days," says Eisenhauer. "It's what we would have used as LDs in 1962 and on through the years as The Dreams move toward stardom. Their production values increase along with their ambition, from a sloppy talent show to the ultimate in sophistication, and the lighting got flashier as they built toward their big show at Caesar's Palace on New Year's Eve 1975. They would have had 12 followspots by then."
The Caesar's Palace number is performed in the round, beginning with rehearsal shots and then transitioning to the big number at night. The set includes periaktoi mirrors that turn and reflect the lights. "This gives the static lights a sweep, as if they were moving," Eisenhauer adds. There is no color in the light in this scene, which uses a combination of conventional fixtures, such as Altman ellipsoidals and PARcans, in addition to the dozen followspots placed around the circular stage.
Some of the book scenes take place on the same sets as the musical numbers, so the film lighting has to be tucked away overhead; it is also used to add fill light and increase the ambient levels for the camera in the musical numbers, while the stage lighting is what the eye actually sees. "It seems bright to your eye but not on film," notes Fisher. In the song "Steppin' to the Bad Side," vertical towers with PARcans, striplights, and Vari-Lite automated luminaries pay homage to the look of the Broadway show. As Fisher is quoted in the souvenir program for the film, "In designing the theatrical lighting for Dreamgirls, we're working in the shadow of the masterful Tharon Musser, who won the Tony for her lighting design of the original show. We hope to honor her legacy with our work lighting these musical numbers that she immortalized."
The color palette was devised with the director and production designer. "They would say, 'This is going to be a red number,' for example," says Fisher. "The palette is simplistic in a way; there are not a lot of different colors." Yet each song has its own look. "Steppin' to the Bad Side" is red and white; the initial talent show has blue, red, purple, and orange; the big Dreamgirls number is blue. "There was something special about limiting the palette from scene to scene," Fisher adds. "We lit each scene as if it was for the crowd in the audience, as if we were really lighting The Dreams in performance. Then the director could decide how much to keep."
For The Dreams' reunion number at the end of the film, the lighting is a bit more modest once again. "Curtis is no longer producing them," says Eisenhauer, noting that, as the producer had pushed the group toward stardom, he kept adding to the show — better wigs, better sound, flashier lighting, and pyro. The singers perform in front of a sparkling beaded curtain, and Effie joins The Dreams in an emotional moment where all four singers are on stage together. "The lighting includes a ring of lights on the floor, with 48 28V ACLs in two rows of 24, carefully focused to create a perfectly even fan shape. This is the last show in the film, with confetti falling into that light and across the actors' faces in a dramatic scene where Curtis recognizes that the young girl with Effie is his daughter," explains Eisenhauer.
Fisher and Eisenhauer provided audience lighting as well, since many of the musical numbers were performed before a live audience. "We lit the audience as if the light was bouncing off the stage, bringing in some extra theatrical lighting," says Eisenhauer. They also took advantage of a FOH batten with 20 automated Vari-Lites that were used to light the singers and could move quickly to light the audience as needed.
Multiple Lighting Packages
To light all of the various musical numbers, the LDs had a large rig supplied by PRG in New York with support from the LA office. The rig included more than 450 lights in multiple lighting packages that moved from one shooting location to another, with the film often shooting in one location and loading into another at the same time. The entire shoot took three months and one week, with programming done on two PRG Virtuoso consoles, with Harry Sangmeister serving as lead programmer for 75% of the project and Tom Celner and Matt Hudson doing the rest.
"There was a lot of scheduling, and we created flow charts of equipment and people, showing where everything would be on a given day. We were pretty much a self-contained department, working closely with the production supervisors for the film," says Eisenhauer. To help with this massive job, Fisher and Eisenhauer brought along Broadway production electrician Richard Mortell, who remained with them in LA for the duration of the shoot. "Each number was hung like a Broadway show," explains Fisher. Once a number was hung, Mortell could move on to the next number, moving from shop to theatre and continually moving equipment around.
Automated luminaries by Vari-Lite, including VL5 arcs and VL1000s, were an important part of the rig. "They were quiet enough for use on the film set and were there for power. For the most part, you never see them," says Eisenhauer. "The VL1000 has a big lens, so if you see one in the darkness, it doesn't look too modern. We also asked PRG to find less modern-looking versions of ellipsoidals and Fresnels, as the actors walk right past them in some of the shots. When theatrical lighting is playing itself, or when it's scenery, you have to identify it differently from when it's hidden as unseen sources."
For the disco version of the song "One Night Only," VL5s were used even though they were anachronistic. "It's the one time we cheated," says Fisher. "Lighting people would know, but the audience won't notice." Eisenhauer agrees, noting, "They could look like a PAR lamp. We avoided anything that looks like an LED array with pixels."
The LDs started with the storyboards for the film and then asked themselves what they could do to make the scenes look dazzling. "We are still exploring film as a genre and how to create something on stage that looks good on film. You have to be aware of the camera language and choose colors that render well based on the film stock," says Eisenhauer. Fisher approaches each number as if lighting it on Broadway, in terms of the architecture of the lighting, but he points out, "The angles have to be different, and the intensity in the backlight cannot be so much brighter like it is on Broadway."
From The Camera's Point Of View
Eisenhauer points out that the biggest difference between stage lighting and film lighting is that the theatrical audience has just one point of view, while the camera has multiple points of view. "With this in mind, we worked closely with the cinematographer to create lighting that looks seamless, as if crafted by a single designer," she explains. For the cinematographer, the challenge is capturing the theatrical lighting correctly on film.
"It was a pleasure to work with Jules and Peggy," says the German-born Schliessler. "They have so much experience in the theatrical field, and this is not something I have done before as a DP." Schliessler would bring the theatrical lighting to a level where it works on film. "We would set a level that worked, then blend the theatrical lighting and film lighting, bringing them up or down as needed for the proper film exposure and fine tune the theatrical lighting to suit the camera when I shot from a different angle. There was never a moment they didn't trust me about the levels."
Schliessler used primarily tungsten sources based on a color temperature of 3,200°K. When he used HMI spotlights, they had color correction gel to bring them closer to tungsten. His biggest challenge was the wide variety of skin tones in the film. "Every actor has a special level that we constantly adjusted," he says.
"The movie is very colorful," he continues. "To get all the tones right, you have to trust the meter and the exposures we set; you can't trust your eye as you normally would. For Jules and Peggy, setting levels might mean changing the intensity on the control board, so they had to trust me to get the look we wanted and vice versa."
Working on a film represents a different process for Fisher and Eisenhauer. "I have a diary of things I learned along the way and don't want to forget," says Eisenhauer. "You are working so fast, and there are so many things to think about. We were lucky enough to work on both Chicago and Dreamgirls, which had many more locations, as 75 percent of Chicago was filmed in the same theatre." After the success of Chicago, movie musicals seem like a hot ticket, with Hairspray (starring John Travolta) up next. "In addition, Dreamworks was sold to Paramount during the filming, so there is a lot of pressure on this film. It's as if the future of the movie musical rests with Dreamgirls," notes Fisher.

Greensburg Daily News
Greensburg —
The Santee Beachfront Grill held a grand opening Monday, May 13, opening its doors to an excited crowd.
Penny Howard, owner of the new business cut the ribbon in front of a group Decatur County residents, including several members of the Greensburg-Decatur County Chamber of Commerce, before welcoming everyone inside for a tour of the new eatery.
The restaurant will be open to the general public, not just Lake Santee residents.
While there have been a number of seasonal restaurants at the location over the years, Santee Beachfront Grill will be the first restaurant open year-round. The eatery will be open seven days a week for lunch and dinner service and is set to open at 11 a.m. Closing hours vary depending on the day.
The full menu has an assortment of undoubtedly tempting meals to offer, including steak, chicken and fish, as well as a selection of traditional burgers, wraps and tenderloins and a salad bar. Carry out orders are available and there is a fully-stocked bar for patrons over 21.
When the weather permits, customers may enjoy their meal on the deck outside as they take in the stunning view of the lake. The deck features numerous tables and on open, airy set up. While use of the beach remains open only to Lake Santee residents, it appears likely anyone can appreciate the view while they eat.
Howard says the Santee Beachfront Grill has an excellent staff that are eager to serve local residents and provide them with a positive atmosphere in which to enjoy a delicious meal.

- A clinically relevant gene signature in triple negative and basal-like breast cancer (2011)
- INTRODUCTION: Current prognostic gene expression profiles for breast cancer mainly reflect proliferation status and are most useful in ER-positive cancers. Triple negative breast cancers (TNBC) are clinically heterogeneous and prognostic markers and biology-based therapies are needed to better treat this disease. METHODS: We assembled Affymetrix gene expression data for 579 TNBC and performed unsupervised analysis to define metagenes that distinguish molecular subsets within TNBC. We used n = 394 cases for discovery and n = 185 cases for validation. Sixteen metagenes emerged that identified basal-like, apocrine and claudin-low molecular subtypes, or reflected various non-neoplastic cell populations, including immune cells, blood, adipocytes, stroma, angiogenesis and inflammation within the cancer. The expressions of these metagenes were correlated with survival and multivariate analysis was performed, including routine clinical and pathological variables. RESULTS: Seventy-three percent of TNBC displayed basal-like molecular subtype that correlated with high histological grade and younger age. Survival of basal-like TNBC was not different from non basal-like TNBC. High expression of immune cell metagenes was associated with good and high expression of inflammation and angiogenesis-related metagenes were associated with poor prognosis. A ratio of high B-cell and low IL-8 metagenes identified 32% of TNBC with good prognosis (hazard ratio (HR) 0.37, 95% CI 0.22 to 0.61; P < 0.001) and was the only significant predictor in multivariate analysis including routine clinicopathological variables. CONCLUSIONS: We describe a ratio of high B-cell presence and low IL-8 activity as a powerful new prognostic marker for TNBC. Inhibition of the IL-8 pathway also represents an attractive novel therapeutic target for this disease.
- Homogeneous datasets of triple negative breast cancers enable the identification of novel prognostic and predictive signatures (2011)
- Background: Current prognostic gene signatures for breast cancer mainly reflect proliferation status and have limited value in triple-negative (TNBC) cancers. The identification of prognostic signatures from TNBC cohorts was limited in the past due to small sample sizes. Methodology/Principal Findings: We assembled all currently publically available TNBC gene expression datasets generated on Affymetrix gene chips. Inter-laboratory variation was minimized by filtering methods for both samples and genes. Supervised analysis was performed to identify prognostic signatures from 394 cases which were subsequently tested on an independent validation cohort (n = 261 cases). Conclusions/Significance: Using two distinct false discovery rate thresholds, 25% and <3.5%, a larger (n = 264 probesets) and a smaller (n = 26 probesets) prognostic gene sets were identified and used as prognostic predictors. Most of these genes were positively associated with poor prognosis and correlated to metagenes for inflammation and angiogenesis. No correlation to other previously published prognostic signatures (recurrence score, genomic grade index, 70-gene signature, wound response signature, 7-gene immune response module, stroma derived prognostic predictor, and a medullary like signature) was observed. In multivariate analyses in the validation cohort the two signatures showed hazard ratios of 4.03 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.71–9.48; P = 0.001) and 4.08 (95% CI 1.79–9.28; P = 0.001), respectively. The 10-year event-free survival was 70% for the good risk and 20% for the high risk group. The 26-gene signatures had modest predictive value (AUC = 0.588) to predict response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy, however, the combination of a B-cell metagene with the prognostic signatures increased its response predictive value. We identified a 264-gene prognostic signature for TNBC which is unrelated to previously known prognostic signatures.
- A53T-alpha-synuclein-overexpression in the mouse nigrostriatal pathway leads to early increase of 14-3-3 epsilon and late increase of GFAP (2011)
- Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder frequent at old age characterized by atrophy of the nigrostriatal projection. Overexpression and A53T-mutation of the presynaptic, vesicle-associated chaperone alpha-synuclein are known to cause early-onset autosomal dominant PD. We previously generated mice with transgenic overexpression of human A53T-alpha-synuclein (A53T-SNCA) in dopaminergic substantia nigra neurons as a model of early PD. To elucidate the early and late effects of A53T-alpha-synuclein on the proteome of dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum, we now investigated expression profiles of young and old mice using two-dimensional fluorescence difference in gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) and mass spectrometry. In total, 15 proteins were upregulated and 2 downregulated. Mice before the onset of motor anomalies showed an upregulation of the spot containing 14-3-3 proteins, in particular the epsilon isoform, as well as altered levels of chaperones, vesicle trafficking and bioenergetics proteins. In old mice, the persistent upregulation of 14-3-3 proteins was aggravated by an increase of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) suggesting astrogliosis due to initial neurodegeneration. Independent immunoblots corroborated GFAP upregulation and 14-3-3 upregulation for the epsilon isoform, and also detected significant eta and gamma changes. Only for 14-3-3 epsilon a corresponding mRNA increase was observed in midbrain, suggesting it is transcribed in dopaminergic perikarya and accumulates as protein in presynapses, together with A53T-SNCA. 14-3-3 proteins associate with alpha-synuclein in vitro and in pathognomonic Lewy bodies of PD brains. They act as chaperones in signaling, dopamine synthesis and stress response. Thus, their early dysregulation probably reflects a response to alpha-synuclein toxicity.

Ours is the Pisco of the People, an 'Acholado' style historically created not by the Don of a Hacienda but by his Servant, now blended for Bartenders by Bartenders.
Peruvians cherish their national drink, defending its nearly 500 years of history with great pride. Peruvian Pisco is the direct descendant of Spanish-Arabic distillation, appearing and tasting how Brandy de Jerez was before Columbus sailed to the New World and barrels came into vogue for the international transportation of spirits. It is the living legacy of the world's first potable spirit; a burnt wine, an unaged single-distilled grape eau-de-vie. It is believed that the Ica Valley was first planted in the 1520s by Spaniards and the Jesuit Missionaries who accompanied them. It was first imported to San Francisco in 1839, before the Gold Rush, when Pisco found a foothold and gave birth to the infamous Pisco Punch--the cocktail that made Mark Twain lose his cynicism and Rudyard Kipling seek poetic words to match the lyric in the liquid. What followed in Lima was the Pisco Sour, the National Cocktail of Perú. Today, every quaff of Campo de Encanto Pisco brings it all together: Perú and San Francisco, staid old-vine grapes and the boom of the gold rush, the refinement of a truly superior spirit sipped quietly and the kick-in-the-teeth euphoria of a Barbary Coast saloon.
Campo de Encanto Pisco cocktails have been made in Buenos Aires and Seattle, in Singapore and in Cusco, and from Las Vegas to New York City. Please, sip it, shake it, and notice how the flavor opens in the bottle and in your glass.
