NEW YORK — At least 10 people were been shot in front of the Empire State Building, according to the New York Office of Emergency Management.
The New York Police Department said police shot and killed the gunman.
Officers responded to reports of gunfire around 9:00a.m. EST.
Authorities have closed several streets around the iconic landmark at 34th Street and 5th Avenue.

The news media and physics community are abuzz with two reports suggesting that neutrinos might travel faster than the speed of light (from the MINOS and OPERA experiments). The claim is that neutrinos travel faster than light by 1 part in 40,000. The results are significant at the vaunted six-sigma level, barring any currently-unknown error in the experiment.
This has physicists excited, because anything traveling faster than the speed of light would violate Einstein's theory of Special Relativity, which, along with quantum mechanics, underlies all of modern particle physics. Particle physicists are looking for something like this, because they are deeply dissatisfied with the current theory. The Standard Model contains a number of parameters that have to be made up to match fundamental measurements (although once you do so, it makes a vast array of validated predictions). Something that violates Special Relativity in a way that is barely noticeable would be consistent with all of the tests that have so far said that Einstein was spot-on, but leave room for tweaking the underlying theory.
Of course, the most excited are those who have developed models that predict that neutrinos should travel faster than light, as is evident by some recent edits to the Wikipedia page on neutrinos.
Astronomers, however, are deeply skeptical that neutrinos travel faster than light, because they already have measured the speed that neutrinos travel to an accuracy 10,000 times higher than either particle physics experiment. In 1987, a supernova occurred 168,000 light years from Earth in a nearby galaxy, the Large Magellenic Cloud. Two neutrino detectors were operating, and together they detected 24 neutrinos above the expected background that appeared nearly simultaneously at Earth with the light (photons) from the supernova. The coincidence between the photons and neutrinos arriving at Earth was used to determine the speed with which neutrinos traveled, and it was found to match that of light by 1 part in 450,000,000.
Most particle physicists are probably aware of this, but they have several reasons to give credence to the OPERA and MINOS results:
1) All of neutrino astrophysics involves ~10 MeV neutrinos, whereas the particle physicists were studying neutrinos 1000 times more energetic. Perhaps more energetic neutrinos travel faster than less energetic ones.
2) For 1987A, astrophysicists presumed neutrinos would travel at the speed of light, and focused their search around the time of the event. With the couple dozen events they found, they may not have been able to test for time delays or distributions.
3) For their experiment, the particle physicists simply had to understand the emission time of the neutrinos, the distance to the detector, and the physics of detecting the neutrinos (via muons, I
believe). Astrophysicists have to understand the interior of the Sun to study neutrino oscillations, or of a collapsing star to understand their travel time. Astrophysicists definitely do not understand all the physics of a supernova – most of the models to date still don't produce an explosion from a collapsing star.
4) Neutrino oscillations required the biggest tweak to the Standard Model (giving them mass) of any recent result in physics.
5) All of physics points to the need for new underlying theories: our theory for gravity (General Relativity) and quantum mechanics can't be reconciled; the Standard Model has a lot of free parameters, and we haven't yet found the Higgs Boson; 75% of the energy of the universe is made up of stuff we haven't been able to measure (darkmatter and dark energy), and only have hypotheses to explain.
If I were to guess as to what would set off a paradigm shift in physics, at the moment, neutrinos seem the most likely candidate. So, yes, I am cautiously excited.

(March 25, 2009) –Sitting and watching skater after skater during these ISU World Figure Skating Championships, I realized something and that is that from time to time I really appreciate the "beauty of under doing it". What I mean is that I have noticed from some of the skaters a quiet confidence that exudes from them; encouraging the spectator to simply sit back and enjoy what is happening on the ice.
The athleticism, sheer strength and stamina required to skate pairs is undeniable and for me what separates the good teams from the superb is the degree (or lack thereof ) of stress I experience while watching them. Many teams are consumed by the effort required to get through a program; so much so that I become aware of every breath, grunt and strain. These programs are not my favourites.
If I can get lost in the moment and simply enjoy the performance, it starts to feel like a very special experience. Such was the case with Russia's Yuko Kavaguti and Alexander Smirnov whose sublime performance last night has resulted in their second place finish after short program. Skating to Saint Saens' The Swan, their lyrical choreography made wonderful use of Yuko's long and willowy line making for a very convincing and graceful interpretation of a swan. Their short program was tight and beautifully constructed and gave me, as the viewer, the chance to simply enjoy. By "under doing" the appearance of effort in their skating, they were able to maximize the magic in their performance. There were no jagged edges or startling moments to jar me, leaving me to be gently carried along with them for the duration of their program. Memorable and beautiful and a welcome respite from what can be the frantic world of figure skating.
I am sure that today will bring more outstanding performances as we get ready to crown a new pairs champion and launch the men's competition with their short programs.

I LOVE this scent!!! It's such a pleasant surprise. I personally love anything vanilla scented but there doesn't seem to be very many vanilla scents for men. Raw Vanilla is amazing! I wasn't too impressed with the top notes as they are somewhat generic men's fragrance scent; fresh and warm with barely a hint of vanilla. The magic only happens at the middle and base notes where the vanilla scent really comes through. The middle note of the fragrance has got a fresh, sweet smelling vanilla and this turns to a warmer, slightly woody vanilla scent at the base which is just perfect. The fragrance is not overly sweet or powdery smelling. It's just got the right mix of softness and masculinity to make it a great vanilla scent for men. It also last pretty long, ending off with just a light lingering touch after a long day. My only gripe is that it doesn't come with a spray. The bottle comes with a screw on cap which means you have just have to splash on the cologne. I prefer spraying my fragrances so this is easily solved be decanting it into a perfume atomiser. My shopping experience with FragranceX was great also. [...].Glad I found this site and Raw Vanilla! I highly recommend it! ;o)

I thought it was going to be more...vanilla. It's to faint of a scent to me. Almost as if I didn't know that it was vanilla, I wouldn't notice unless I was paying attention.
All in all it smells nice, just not the mouth watering vanilla explosion I was expecting.

Maine is home to dozens of summer-long youth camps and untold numbers of day camps that take advantage of water, woods, and fresh air. While the children, counselors, and other staff come to Maine in the summer, the camps live on throughout the year and throughout the lives of many of the campers.
Dressing Up, Standing Out, Fitting In
Adorning oneself to look one's "best" has varied over time, gender, economic class, and by event. Adornments suggest one's sense of identity and one's intent to stand out or fit in.

Whole Foods Market is having an in-store fiesta throughout April to celebrate sweet Ataulfo mangos. Susan Bellinson from Whole Foods Market offers up the following mango recipes:Mango-Mint LimeadeServes 81 pound bag frozen mango, thawed, or 3 cups fresh mango, peeled, pitted, and cut into large chunks1 cup turbinado or raw sugar1 T grated lime zest + 1/2 cup juice from 4 to 5 limes10 green cardamom pods, lightly crushed with the back of a knife1 cup loosely packed mint (basil or a combination of mint/basil can be substituted))Sparkling waterThinly sliced limes and mint for garnishIn a bowl of a food processor, combine mango and lime juice and process until smooth, about 1 to 2 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl, pressing down and scraping back and forth with a spatula to extract as much of the mango-lime juice as possible. Also make sure to scrape the underside of the strainer into your bowl -- just make sure you rinse your spatula first! You should have about 2 cups of mango-lime juice. Chill until ready to use.To make the mint simple syrup, combine the sugar, 1 cup water, lime zest, cardamom pods, and mint in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes or until a thin syrup forms. Pass the syrup through a strainer into a bowl or measuring cup. You should have about 1 cup of mint simple syrup. Chill until ready to use.When ready to serve, combine the chilled mango-lime juice and mint simple syrup in a 1.5 quart or larger pitcher. Stir to combine, then add sparkling water. I find about 4 cups to be right, but add more or less to get the dilution you prefer. Pour into glasses filled with lots of ice. Garnish with lime wedges and mint.Fresh Mango Marinade1 ripe mango, peeled, pitted and chopped1 tablespoon expeller-pressed canola oil2 tablespoons orange juice or white wine2 teaspoons finely diced peeled fresh ginger root2 teaspoons brown sugar2 cloves garlic, chopped3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakesTo make the marinade, combine all ingredients in a blender or food processor and purée.To use the marinade, pour into a large bowl and add up to 2 pounds of chicken breast or chicken pieces, pork chops or sliced firm tofu. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.When ready to cook, transfer everything (marinade and all) to a baking dish and bake in a 425°F oven until cooked through; or remove the food from the marinade and grill it, then place the marinade into a small saucepan with 1/3 cup water and boil for at least 5 minutes before serving it along with the grilled food.

Law firm's pledge to Airedale hospital
10:00am Friday 31st January 2014 in News By Telegraph & Argus
A law firm with offices in Ilkley has committed to raising £2,000 for the Airedale Hospital Emergency Department Appeal to help fund a number of new distraction walls for children.
LCF Law has kick-started it's fundraising with a donation from Partner and Head of Personal Law, Neil Shaw.
Neil was sponsored to compete in the Jane Tomlinson 10k race dressed as Elvis Presley.
He said: "I'm not a runner, so I knew that friends, family and colleagues would pay good money to see me take part in the race.
"I completed the race in under an hour, which I was very pleased with considering I stopped quite a few times to sign autographs!"

The magazine had a hole in it, and a card insert with just a black spot on it, both of which were part of that particular issue's design. I liked it. The subtitle was: "A Journal of the Mental Environment," or something similarly boldly rhetorically Structuralist. I was surprised. I was excited. The articles were different, advocated for political agency in a way different than any I'd experienced. I felt that naïve vitality that, at 31, seems more and more difficult to kindle.

A new national study predicts Illinois will have the worst job growth of all the states.
It's a figure that sheds light on our state and city at the tipping point.
As of now, the study is predicting Illinois to be dead last, 50th out of 50 states.
The new study from Moody's Analytics says Illinois will be the only state in the country where the total number of jobs will grow by less than one percent. The study comes on the heels of another study that business groups say explains the job forecast.
Now, except for New Jersey, Illinois has America's highest property tax burden.
Home prices in many parts of Illinois remain far below where they once were.
But that hasn't stopped government officials from raising property tax bills.
As a result, with the exception of only New Jersey, Illinois now has the highest property taxes in America when considered as a percentage of home value.
According to the Urban Institute-Brookings Tax Policy Center in 2012, Illinoisans paid property taxes of 2.28 percent of their home's value, marginally more than neighboring Wisconsin's 2.07 percent; and 2 1/2 times the 0.93 percent property owners paid in neighboring Indiana.
Business groups claim Illinois' soaring property tax burden is a big reason the state has 600,000 fewer jobs now than it had 14 years ago.
A new employment forecast has more bad news, predicting that Illinois in 2014 will have the worst rate of job growth of any state – 0.98 percent, which would add 56,996 jobs.
Indiana would rank 25th, growing 1.6 percent, adding 47,055 jobs, and Wisconsin, ranking 32nd, growing 1.49 percent would add 42,022 jobs.
One of the nation's largest moving companies, Allied Van Lines, reported, "Illinois usurped the title of top outbound state with the highest net relocation losses (more outbound than inbound shipments), followed by Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Jersey and New York... Illinois lost ground this year, with a net loss of 1,198 moves out of state, versus 2010 losses of 1,050."
We asked Gov. Quinn's spokeswoman for a response.
A state website does not elaborate on why Illinois has high unemployment.
Ignoring the fact that joblessness was often very low here until recent years, the Illinois Department of Employment Security says, "Historically, Illinois has a higher unemployment rate than the nation. Only six times since January 2000 - six months out of 168 - has the state unemployment rate been lower than the nation's. That includes times of economic growth."
Curious they would choose the base year to be 2000, when Illinois had 600,000 more jobs than we do now.

My forthcoming (at some point!) project 3rd Rail takes place in a snow-blanketed New York City. From a production standpoint this poses significant problems, perhaps not as challenging as depopulating New York City like we did in The West Side (see also: hanging a guy from a 40-foot lamp post), but while we could use visual effects to overcome those problems in The West Side, snow and rain are more of a special effect that requires a practical approach (or just good luck with the weather). Here are a couple of really cheap methods worth considering if you need snow and rain but don't have a large budget (or a direct line to God). More »

It's the fourth time United have lifted the trophy in six seasons and the 15th time the club have won the competition. Somewhat surprisingly, though, it was only the first time since the Lancashire Senior Cup was inaugurated in 1879 that United had faced City in the final.
United knocked out Morecambe and Oldham Athletic on the way to the final, while the Blues eliminated Blackpool, Wigan Athletic and Rochdale. Warren Joyce's side were given a bye in the opening round.
City had the better of the early attacking play on Tuesday, with both Scott Wootton and Tom Thorpe required to clear their lines.
Jesse Lingard raised United's hopes with a header that struck the upright, but the threat was to no avail as the assistant referee was already fluttering his flag for offside.
Moments later City moved into the lead with Alex Tchumeni-Nimely scoring from close range after Alex Henshall's shot had been blocked.
Federico Macheda went down in the City area following a vigorous challenge, but his appeal for a spot-kick was waved away by referee Simeon Lucas.
United began to have a bigger say in proceedings and it wasn't a surprise when Davide Petrucci picked his spot past City keeper Eirik Johansen to claim United's leveller.
Sam Johnstone did well, three minutes before break, to prevent City's Harry Dunn from restoring his team's lead before

Jesus Without The Junk: Fasting-Hoodoo Voodoo
- Details
- Published on Wednesday, 23 January 2013 14:32
- Written by Super User
By:Molly Painter
Fasting and its proper application need to be taught and reinforced as biblical truth so that God's children might rise up and learn about their inheritance as a son or daughter of his kingdom. Jesus Without The Junk has just proclaimed our annual fast from January 6th until January 27th. This fast is individual and corporate for coming together as the body of Christ in the spirit of the Lord for the upcoming New Year. You may think that things in your everyday life are established (good or bad)…but are they really? Issues such as family, finances, children, clear direction and purpose are the items that I have fasted for over these last fourteen years.
Going without food? Me? Believe me, I thought it was something weird when I first heard of it because no one around me was doing it, and I was regularly attending a church at the time. But, I came to a juncture in my life where I needed God to move and I had to hear from Him (if He was really real). Fasting is something not many have heard of or use (including those who call themselves children of God) in order to receive answers to dilemmas and as one of the mightiest weapons against the enemy of our soul. A fast is a denial of some sort of nourishment and a time for tuning your spirit man toward the things of God, learning to listen for the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is a "getting up and moving forward" action so complacency does not set in reigning in your life.
Go before the LORD and proclaim a fast for this year. Tradition cannot gain this for you. It is a matter of the condition of your heart towards heaven. I highly encourage you to try fasting to see what happens. I was utterly amazed at the outcome when I learned to fast and knew it would be a part of my walk with Christ for the rest of my life on earth.
Don't knock it unless you've tried it!

How to change "groups" to "teams"?
I'm creating a buddypress community site for a soccer club. Is there a way I can, universally across the site, change the word "groups" to the word "teams"? It would help my users a lot, they will more readily join their real world "team" (a buddypress group with their soccer team name) than try to figure out what "group" means

What is an autologous stem cell transplant?
An autologous stem cell transplant is the infusion of healthy stem cells into your child's body. Stem cells develop in the bone marrow and are the most immature blood cells circulating in your blood stream. As stem cells mature, they change into the different types of blood cells including white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets and are released into the blood stream by a process called "mobilization."
Other procedures and treatments are necessary before and after the stem cell transplant. Stem cells in the blood stream are collected through a procedure called "harvesting." During this procedure, a machine is connected to the child's central venous catheter. This catheter is placed surgically prior to having stem cells collected. The machine removes the blood, filters out the stem cells so they can be saved, and then gives the child back the remaining blood. The stem cells are processed and frozen so they can be given back to the child later.
The process of preparing for a stem cell transplant, called "conditioning," involves high doses of chemotherapy and possibly radiation to destroy cancer cells and suppress the immune system so your child's body doesn't reject the healthy, transplanted stem cells. This process also destroys the bone marrow.
The harvested stem cells are given back as a transfusion to replace the depleted bone marrow. The stem cells migrate to the bone marrow; begin producing stem cells that grow into the various types of blood cells and allow the bone marrow to recover from the high doses of chemotherapy.
Research studies have shown that stem cell transplantation can be an effective treatment in children with certain high-risk tumors such as high-risk solid tumors or recurrent solid tumors. This procedure allows for higher than usual doses of chemotherapy to be given with the goal of destroying the cancer cells.

The International Commission on Missing Persons (ICMP) provided a special, in-depth presentation of its work to a high-level delegation of 20 national and International Prosecutors from the Special Department for War Crimes of the Prosecutors' Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The objective of the ICMP seminar was to provide prosecutors with an overview of the technical assistance that ICMP provides to governments in locating, recovering and identifying the mortal remains of persons missing from armed conflict, crimes against humanity and other violations of human rights. Given that ICMP assistance in this regard is also relevant to criminal prosecutions, it is also important that prosecutors understand the scope of ICMP's work and the type of assistance it can provide to justice sector institutions.

Establishment of human Embryonic Stem Cell Models to Study the Impact of Alzheimer's Disease Mutant Genes on Neuronal Functions

Public Abstract:
Alzheimer's disease (AD) afflicts over 5 million Americans and is characterized by deposits of insoluble protein aggregates (amyloid plaques) and neurofibillary tangles as well as massive neuronal loss in regions affecting learning and memory. Currently, the best model for studying AD and testing novel therapies is a transgenic mouse that shows some, but not all, of the pathologies associated with AD. Mouse and human cells do not respond in the same ways to deleterious cell signals, so there is a great need for a model in which AD pathology can be studied in human cells. One difficulty in advancing AD research is that it is hard to obtain and examine live non-dividing (post-mitotic) neurons from AD patients. Even if such neurons are obtained, it is impossible to amplify them for reproduction of the obtained data or for sharing those neurons with other laboratories. As long as there is a possibility that different mechanisms may underlie different AD cases, it is considerably disadvantageous to investigate neurons from an individual AD patient with an unidentified cause. Our study will be conducted to overcome these difficulties. With recent progress in differentiating embryonic stem cells (ESC) into post-mitotic neurons, construction of ES cells expressing familial Alzheimer's Disease (FAD) genes would allow for the creation of post-mitotic neurons bearing AD pathology. In this proposal, we have the advantage of having grown multiple HUES and some NIH-approved human ESC (hESC)lines and being able to express foreign genes at high levels in hESCs using lentiviral infection, as well as our expertise in the molecular and cell biology of AD. We propose to fully characterize these ES cell models in the context of AD pathologies such as A? generation and tau hyperphosphorylation, neuronal susceptibility to various neural toxicities, gene profiling, and neuronal differentiation. Three key genes/proteins known to be involved in AD pathogenesis are APP (?-amyloid (A?) precursor protein, from which A? is derived, PS1 (presenilin1) and tau. All the mutations in APP and PS1 are autosomal dominant leading to early onset of AD; mutations in tau (associated with familial frontotemporal dementia) favor the formation of neurofibrillary tangles (NFT). In addition to their well-defined functions in causing AD pathological lesions, these three genes/proteins have also been known to play key physiological roles including those in neurogenesis, neural development and synaptic functions. Defects in neuronal functions such as neurogenesis and neuronal differentiation have been found in AD brains in association with pathological abnormalities such as amyloid plaques (consisting of A?) and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT, consisting of hyperphosphorylated tau) as well as neuronal death in selected brain regions. The established hES cell models would be ideally important for drug screening which should eventually be instrumental for development of effective AD therapies.
Statement of Benefit to California:
"DRAFT OF A DRAFT" California has a tradition of taking the lead in technology and medical breakthroughs, not only by invention and innovation, but also by following through with research, development, and commercialization of ideas. Californians have a tradition of encouraging an entrepreneurial spirit, making the state an attractive site to launch new and risky ventures. Our proposal takes advantage of California's greatest strengths: innovative scientific research and high tech expertise. We propose a collaboration that involves the best of cutting edge laboratory research with the kind of entrepreneurial spirit in computer technology that launched HP, Apple, Google, and Pixar. We propose to generate and analyze a large amount of information about stem cells, focusing first on the molecular signatures of these cells, and then adding information about their utility for scientific research and their efficacy in preclinical development and clinical trials. A partnership with experts in launching web-based databases will allow us to make these data accessible to scientists so that they can make intelligent choices about which of the hundreds of embryonic and somatic stem cell lines will be best for their needs. This will eliminate wasted resources by creating a shared information database, encourage collaboration, and immediately enable scientists from non-stem cell disciplines to plan and carry out their experiments in a sound scientific context. This project will be a unique opportunity for California to demonstrate the power of its large intellectual base, and will create a magnet for other researchers, inside and outside California, to contribute their own information and expertise, which will leverage the power of the California stem cell community to explore novel approaches. The proposed project will be a springboard to new commercial ventures, and attract investment in research and development. Ultimately, by encouraging sharing of information, the project will help maintain high standards of scientific research, and speed the development of clinical applications for stem cells that will benefit all Californians. ADD A SENTENCE ABOUT THE LARGER AGING POPULATION IN CA SO MORE AD - HUAXI TO ADD TO ABOVE
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: Exogenous, Alzheimer's disease-associated genes APP, PS1, and tau will be studied in hES cells to create a better model (compared to current transgenic mouse models) of human disease using several lines (including ones generated by Doug Melton) to study how neuronal functions will be affected. Four specific aims are proposed that: 1. Will engineer stable hES cells expressing functional APP, PS1, and tau genes, individually or together (as in the generation of the triple transgenic mice); 2. Examine the production of A beta and hyperphosphorylation of tau and testing if these cells exhibit an altered sensitivity to stress/excitotoxicity associated with A beta and NFT pathologies; 3. Understand the effects of these AD-associated genes on the growth and differentiation of hES cells (phenotyping and whole genome gene expression profiling); and 4. Examining how these AD related genes affect neuronal differentiation (neuronal markers and synaptic functions). SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATIONS: The proposed study, in principle, has the potential to yield cell lines and reagents that would be invaluable to the study of the pathophysiology of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). The approach of introducing the known "bad genes" associated with AD into human ES cells and then differentiating them into neuronal cultures to provide an in vitro model system to gain insight into the pathologic process associated with AD seems highly innovative. STRENGTHS: There is a need to have highly reproducible cellular models of AD and other neurodegenerative diseases, and hES cells expressing AD genes offer such a model. The PI has extensive expertise in the genes and their products that contribute to the pathogenesis of AD; the collaborator on this project, Dr. Loring, has extensive experience with ES cells, therefore this is a good team to be able to accomplish these studies. WEAKNESSES: Reviewer one: There is too little description of how the studies will be conducted and data analyzed; for example, defining normal or abnormal neuronal differentiation and synaptic function is only alluded to through what will be stained in the immunofluorescence studies and quantitative PCR for expression of particular gene markers. This is an overambitious proposal with 4 specific aims that will certainly require much more than the requested time to complete. Each one of these aims is time consuming and requires quality control and cell homogeneity testing and confirmation before being able to ascertain the effects of THREE DIFFERENT GENES on different populations of heterogeneous cultures of hES-derived cells. The "Potential Pitfalls and Alternative Methods" section is too short and is cryptic, and open-ended. For example, in one of the few sentences of this section, the following disquieting statement is presented: "….it is possible that the mutations may not affect neural development under our differentiation protocols. In this case, we will switch the goal to study their sensitivity to stress after their differentiation into neuronal cells. Reviewer two: Aim 1: No preliminary data to show that the lentiviral vectors transduce the human ES cells -- the preliminary data provided were in neuronal stem cells, which doesn't really support this part of the proposed research. Also, the investigators provide no details regarding the lentiviral vector genome design -- what promoter/enhancer will be used to express the AD genes? It appears to be a ubiquitous promoter, since many of their studies are based on study of the impact of the expression of the AD genes in the undifferentiated culture. It might be interesting to also include a neuronal-specific promoter, since normally these are very tissue-specific in their expression patterns. Finally, the method they plan to use to select for the transduced cells is based solely on FACS sorting, without the benefit of any selectable marker. Generally, long-term stable expression is not as easily achieved with transduction schemes based on selection solely on FACS sorting rather than biochemical selection methods. Apparently, none of the vectors are made. Aims 2 and 3: The investigator plans to do a very detailed assessment of the impact of expression of AD-associated genes on gene expression using microarray technology and RT-PCR. In principle, this sounds like a good idea, however, the proposal appears to indicate that the studies will be performed in the undifferentiated human ES cultures that have been transduced to express the AD-associated genes, rather than derivative differentiated neurons. Since the pathology of AD is exclusively found in the CNS, one reviewer doesn't understand why the proposal is to look at the undifferentiated cultures, rather than neuronal cultures. This is potentially an interesting and important proposal. In light of space constraints, the applicant is advised to spend less space and effort toward reviewing the AD literature and more to experimental design, outcomes, pitfalls, and follow-up studies. DISCUSSION: There were no further comments other than those of the reiewers.

The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health of the University of Massachusetts Medical School hosts a Post-doctoral Fellowship in Clinical Health Psychology in Primary Care. The fellowship is tightly affiliated with the Family Medicine Residency Programs of the Department.
The two-year, full-time fellowship adheres to a practitioner-scholar model and is designed to prepare clinical and counseling psychologists to achieve the following goals:
The training philosophy and model is based on a supervised experiential approach in which first year post-doctoral fellows are training in evidence-based clinical health psychology through intensive didactics, clinical observations, clinical supervision, and by training side-by-side with family medicine residents. In the second year of the program, the fellows continue their clinical training and supervision, but also begin a more focused experience of learning how to teach and train family medicine residents to recognize behavioral needs and use psychosocial knowledge and behavioral health skills. Fellows also learn to build integrated service programs in a primary care setting.
Fellows are evaluated in a variety of ways, including live observation, and are expected to gain competencies in:
The first residency in Family Medicine at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center (UMass) was established in 1971. The Department of Family Medicine and Community Health presently supports two residencies in Family Medicine: the Worcester residency and the Fitchburg residency. The Worcester residency has 36 residents, divided equally among three family health centers: (1) Barre Family Health Center in Barre, MA; (2) the Family Health Center of Worcester; and (3) Hahnemann Family Health Center in Worcester. The Fitchburg residency has 15 residents whose main training site is the Community Health Connections Family Health Center in Fitchburg, MA.
Barre Family Health Center is located in Barre, Massachusetts, in rural north-central Massachusetts. It is thirty minutes from Worcester and offers trainees the experience of practice in a rural setting with full support of a large academic health system. BFHC is a free standing ambulatory care site in the UMassMemorial Health Care system. BFHC is a patient-centered medical home (PCMH) with Level 3 Recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) with a history of commitment to integrating behavioral health services into its practice. BFHC is the sole provider of care in the East Quabbin region providing care to the inhabitants of Barre and 9 surrounding communities with upwards of 35,000 visits/yr. An ambulatory training site in the Worcester Family Medicine Residency Program, it is also the only rural training site in Family Medicine in Massachusetts. The staff is multidisciplinary and includes 10 family physicians, 2 psychologists, 12 residents, and part-time involvement by an adult and child psychiatrist, a podiatrist, nutritionist, clinical pharmacist, and a clinical social worker. In addition, the practice has an on-site lab, x-ray including digital mammography, and facilities to provide stabilization of acutely ill patients, minor surgical procedures, and care of minor trauma such as fractures, sprains, and lacerations. Daniel Mullin, PsyD, is the Behavioral Science faculty member and primary site supervisor at BFHC and William Ferrarone, PhD, is a psychologist practicing on site half time.Hahnemann Family Health Center (HFHC) is located in Worcester and is an urban academic ambulatory health center staffed by 9 family physicians, 2 nurse practitioners, 12 family medicine residents, 2 behavioral health providers and 3 BH trainees, a consulting psychiatrist, and a clinical pharmacist. Approximately 40% of the patients have private insurance and 50% have Medicaid. Behavioral health clinicians are fully integrated into the clinic and are routinely available to meet with patients on the same day as their medical visit or for scheduled follow-up appointments to treat mental health and substance abuse needs as well as for behavior change counseling. Since January 2011, HFHC has routinely screened adult patients who are establishing care at the clinic and during annual physicals. The screening measure includes items for depression (PHQ-9), generalized anxiety (GAD-7), PTSD symptoms (PC-PTSD), and alcohol use (AUDIT). Scores on these screening measures are entered into unique data fields in a flowsheet within the electronic health record (Allscripts). Tina Runyan, PhD, the Director of the Fellowship, is the primary site supervisor and also has her clinical practice at HFHC. Alexander Blount, EdD is another one of the on-site supervisors and runs the Program for School Aged Children (PSAC) at HFHC.
Community Health Connections Family Health Center (CHC) in Fitchburg is the newly-remodeled outpatient site for the University of Massachusetts Fitchburg Family Medicine Residency. It is a Federally Qualified Community Health Center serving underserved patients in the Fitchburg/Leominster area. The Health Center is developing a number of social service programs in addition to mental health, pharmacy and dental services. It is approximately forty-five minutes from the UMass campus. It was the original Fellowship site in 1999 but currently fellows are not training on site routinely. Nicholas Apostoleris, PhD, is the Associate Residency Director for the Fitchburg Family Medicine Residency and is the the on site supervising psychologist.
The Department's goals in supporting and instituting a post-doctoral training program for psychologists are:
The reasons fellows choose to come to our program for post-doctoral training are:
Every effort is made to identify fellows as part of a family medicine resident class. Having behavioral health providers as peers in their training helps residents develop the personal relationships on which collaboration is based. Having family medicine residents as peers in their training helps the fellows develop familiarity with the primary care setting in an environment of support where help with the vagaries of "medical culture" is easily available.

What is a CD4 cell or T-cell?
CD4 cells or T-cells are the "generals" of the human immune system. These are the cells that send signals to activate your body's immune response when they detect "intruders," like viruses or bacteria.
Because of the important role these cells play in how your body fights off infections, it's important to keep their numbers up in the normal ranges. This helps to prevent HIV-related complications and opportunistic infections. For more information, see the National Cancer Institute's The Human Immune System.
The name game
You may have noticed that your healthcare providers often use the terms "T-cell" and "CD4 cell" interchangeably. When talking in terms of HIV, these two names mean the same thing. They both refer to the same type of cell. While there are many different types of T-cells, these particular cells have a specific receptor site on their surface called the CD4 receptor site. HIV uses this particular receptor to latch on to the T-cell, making it a prime target for infection.
It's all about the numbers!
Ok, it's not all about the numbers—but your CD4 count is one of the most important things to consider when you and your healthcare provider are deciding the best way—and time—to treat your HIV disease.
A normal CD4 count can range from 500 cells/mm3 to 1,000 cells/mm3. So if your CD4 count is within that range, the CDC does not generally recommend that you start treatment for your HIV disease, unless there are other concerns (pregnancy, young age, constitutional symptoms, acute retroviral syndrome, etc.).
The guidelines from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services suggest starting treatment when your CD4 count falls to 350 cells/mm3 or below. T This is because opportunistic infections typically begin to affect people whose CD4 counts are below that level. (This is why a CD4 count is often used to determine the stages of HIV disease.)
Recent research has indicated that it may be easier to maintain higher CD4 counts if you start HIV treatment before your CD4 counts drop below 350 cells/mm3. You should discuss when to begin treatment with your healthcare provider and choose the approach that is best for you.
The Basics
- A normal CD4 count ranges from 500–1,000 cells/mm3.
- When your CD4 count is 350 cells/mm3 or less, it's time to consider treatment.
- A CD4 count of fewer than 200 cells/mm3 is one of the qualifications for a diagnosis of AIDS.
- Your CD4 count can vary from day to day. It can also vary depending on the time of day your blood is drawn and on whether you have other infections or illnesses, like the flu or STDs.
- Typically, your healthcare provider will check your CD4 counts every 3-6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are a CD4 count and a CD4 percentage the same thing?
No, these two measurements are not the same thing. A CD4 count tells you the number of CD4 cells or T-cells in a sample of your blood. The CD4 percentage tells you how many CD4 cells you have, relative to other immune-system cells in that sample. Both measurements tell you something important about the health of your immune system.
But a CD4 count can vary as much as 50-100 cells/mm3 from one day to the next. Because of this, many providers and experts feel that your CD4 percentage is a more accurate measurement of your immune function.
- A CD4 percentage that is greater than 29% usually means that your immune system is functioning normally (i.e., your CD4 count is roughly >500 cells/mm3).
- A CD4 percentage of 14%-28% typically means your CD4 count is in the range of 200-500 cells/mm3.
- When your CD4 count is below 200 cells/mm3, your CD4 percentage is likely to be below 14%.

Murdoch humble, but saved the spectacle of being forced to eat pie…
July 19th, 2011 | 1 Comment | Posted by Joel Gunter in Funny, Newspapers, Politics, Press freedom and ethics
In case you missed it earlier, here's the video clip of an attempted foam pie-ing of Rupert Murdoch during today's culture, media and sport select committee at the House of Commons. The real star is Murdoch's wife Wendi Deng whose lightning reaction ensured the assailant ended up with most of the foam on his own face.

Dumfriesshire woman lives on £1 a day
A woman from Bargrennan, near Newton Stewart, is living on £1 a day for five days to raise awareness of extreme poverty.
Ruby Marr is taking part in the "Live Below the Line" challenge, which is a campaign taking place in the UK, Canada, Australia and the USA simultaneously, with more than 20,000 people spending 5 days living below the line.
Mrs Marr has been raiding the reduced sections of the local supermarktes and grocery stores to try and find the cheapest food available.
She is raising money for UNICEF an has been finding the task harder than she first thought.
– Ruby Marr
"In today's world, extreme poverty and inequality are unjustifiable and unfair. Live Below the Line demonstrates the problem in a concrete way, while raising money to address the problem.
"I have been browsing the supermarket shelves, buying the odd item to stick in the freezer - but seriously, to eat well, on £5 for five days, is indeed a challenge.
"It has been quite a learning curve price comparing. I am sure, after all of this is over, my weekly grocery bill will drop dramatically."

Arabic is an official language in most of the countries of the Middle East, North Africa and parts of East Africa. More than 290 million people call it their native language, and that number rises to more than 420 million when non-native speakers are included. Although 90 percent of the world's Muslims do not speak Arabic as their first language, they use it regularly in their religious life.
Most of the pyramids in ancient Egypt were built as tombs for pharaohs and their families. To date, more than 130 pyramids have been discovered there. The largest, the pyramid of Khufu at Giza, is made up of about 2.3 million stone blocks that weigh up to 15 tons each. It's thought that workers needed to set a new stone every two and a half minutes.
