aaslg [ -x ] [ file ... ] aaslr [ -x ] table [ file ... ]
Aaslg and aaslr implement the Amazing Awk Syntax Language, AASL (pro- nounced ``hassle''). Aaslg (pronounced ``hassling'') takes an AASL specification from the concatenation of the file(s) (default standard input) and emits the corresponding AASL table on standard output. Aaslr parses the contents of the file(s) (default standard input) according to the AASL table in file table, emitting the table's output on standard output.
Both take a -x option to turn on verbose and cryptic debugging output. Both look in a library directory for pieces of the AASL system; the AASLDIR environment variable, if present, overrides the default notion of the location of this directory.
Aaslr expects input to consist of input tokens, one per line. For sim- ple tokens, the line is just the text of the token. For metatokens like ``identifier'', the line is the metatoken's name, a tab, and the text of the token. [xxx discuss `#' lines]
Aaslr output, in the absence of syntax errors, consists of the input tokens plus action tokens, which are lines consisting of `#!' followed immediately by an identifier. If the syntax of the input does not match that specified in the AASL table, aaslr emits complaint(s) on standard error and attempts to repair the input into a legal form; see ``ERROR REPAIR'' below. Unless errors have cascaded to the point where aaslr gives up (in which case it emits the action token ``#!aargh'' to inform later passes of this), the output will always conform to the AASL syntax given in the table.
Normally, a complete program using AASL consists of three passes, the middle one being an invocation of aaslr. The first pass is a lexical analyzer, which breaks free-form input down into input tokens in some suitable way. The third pass is a semantics interpreter, which typi- cally responds to input tokens by momentarily remembering them and to action tokens by executing some action, often using the remembered value of the previous input token. Aaslg is in fact implemented using AASL, following this structure; it implements the -x option by just passing it to aaslr.
An AASL specification consists of class definitions, text definitions, and rules, in arbitrary order (except that class definitions must pre- cede use of the classes they define). A `#' (not enclosed in a string) begins a comment; characters from it to the end of the line are ignored. An identifier follows the same rules as a C identifier, except that in most contexts it can be at most 16 characters long. A string is enclosed in double quotes ("") and generally follows C syn- tax. Most strings denote input tokens, and references to ``input token'' as part of AASL specification syntax should be read as ``string denoting input token''.
A class definition is an identifier enclosed in angle brackets (<>) followed by one or more input tokens followed by a semicolon (;). It gives a name to a set of input tokens. Classes whose names start with capital letters are user abbreviations; see below. Classes whose names start with lowercase letters are special classes, used for internal purposes. The current special classes are:
For example, the class definitions used for AASL itself are:
<trivial> "," ";" ; <lineterm> ";" ; <endmarker> "EOF" ;
When AASL error repair is invoked, the parser sometimes needs to gener- ate input tokens. In the case of a metatoken, the parser knows the token's name but needs to generate a text for it as well. A text defi- nition consists of an input token, an arrow (->), and a string specify- ing what text should be generated for that token. For example, the text definitions used for AASL itself are:
"id" -> "___" "string" -> "\"___\""
The rules of a specification define the syntax that the parser should accept. The order of rules is not significant, except that the first rule is considered to be the top level of the specification. The spec- ification is executed by calling the first rule; when execution of that rule terminates, execution of the specification terminates. If the user wishes this to occur only at end of input, he should arrange for the lexical analyzer to produce an endmarker token (conventionally ``EOF'') at the end of the input, and should write the first rule to require that token at the end.
Note that an input token may be recognized considerably before it is accepted, but the parser emits it to the output only on acceptance.
A rule consists of an identifier naming it, a colon (:), a sequence of items which is the body of the rule, and a semicolon (;). When a rule is called, it is executed by executing the individual items of the body in order (as modified by control structures) until either one of them explicitly terminates execution of the rule or the last item is exe- cuted.
An item which is an input token requires that that token appear in the input at that point, and accepts it (causing it to be emitted as out- put).
An item which is an identifier denotes a call to another rule, which executes the body of that rule and then returns to the caller. It is an error to call a nonexistent rule.
An item which is an identifier preceded by `!' causes that identifier to be emitted as an action token; the identifier has no other signifi- cance.
An item which is `<<' causes execution of the current rule to terminate immediately, returning to the calling rule.
An item which is `>>' causes the execution of the innermost enclosing loop (see below) to terminate immediately, with execution continuing after the end of that loop. The loop must be within the same rule.
An item which is an identifier preceded by `@%&!' causes an internal semantic action to be executed within the parser; this is normally needed only for bizarre situations like C's typedef. [xxx should give details I suppose]
A choice is a sequence of branches enclosed in parentheses (()) and separated by vertical bars (|). The first of the branches that can be executed, is, after which execution continues after the end of the choice.
A loop is a sequence of branches enclosed in braces ({}) and separated by vertical bars (|). The first of the branches that can be executed, is, and this is done repeatedly until the loop is terminated by `>>', after which execution continues after the end of the loop. (A loop can also be terminated by `<<' terminating execution of the whole rule.)
A branch is just a sequence of items, like a rule body, except that it must begin with either an input token or a lookahead. If it begins with an input token, it can be executed only when that token is the next token in the input, and execution starts with acceptance of that token.
A lookahead specifies conditions for execution of a branch based on recognizing but not accepting input token(s). The simplest form is just an input token enclosed in brackets ([]), in which case execution of that branch is possible only when that token is the next token in the input. The brackets can also contain multiple input tokens sepa- rated by commas, in which case the parser looks for any of those tokens. If a user-abbreviation class name appears, either by itself or as an element of a comma-separated list, it stands for the list of tokens given in its definition.
If a lookahead's brackets contain only a `*', this is a default branch, executable regardless of the state of the input.
As a very special case, a lookahead's brackets can contain two input tokens separated by slash (/), in which case that branch is executable only when those two tokens, in sequence, are next in the input. Warn- ing: this is implemented by a delicate perversion of the error-repair machinery, and if the first of those tokens is not then accepted, the parser will die in convulsions. A further restriction is that the same input token may not appear as the first token of a double lookahead and as a normal lookahead token in the same choice/loop.
Certain simple choice/loop structures appear frequently, and there are abbreviations for them:
abbreviation expansion ( items ?) ( items | [*] ) { items ?} { items | [*] >> } ( ! [look] items ?) ( [ look] | items ) { ! [look] items ?} { [ look] >> | items }
For example, here are the rules of the AASL specification for AASL, minus the actions (which add considerable clutter and are unintelligi- ble without the third pass):
rules: { "id" ":" contents ";" | "<" "id" ">" {"string" ?} ";" | "string" "->" "string" | "EOF" >> }; contents: { ">>" | "<<" | "id" | "!" "id" | "@%&!" "id" | "string" | "(" branches ")" | "{" branches "}" | [*] >> }; branches: ( "!" "[" look "]" contents "?" | [*] branch ( ["|"] {"|" branch ?} | "?" !endbranch | [*] ) ); branch: ( "string" contents | "[" look "]" contents ); look: ( ["string"/"/"] "string" "/" "string" | "*" | [*] looker {"," looker ?} ); looker: ( "string" | "id" ) ;
When the input token is not one of those desired, either because the item being executed is an input token and a different token appears on the input, or because none of the branches of a choice/loop is exe- cutable, error repair is invoked to try to fix things up. Sometimes it can actually guess right and fix the error, but more frequently it merely supplies a legal output so that later passes will not be thrown into chaos by a minor syntax error.
The general error-repair strategy of an AASL parser is to give the parser what it wants and then attempt to resynchronize the input with the parser.
[xxx long discussion of how ``what it wants'' is determined when there are multiple possibilities]
Resynchronization is performed in three stages. The first stage attempts to resynchronize within a logical line, and is applied only if neither the input token nor the desired token is a line terminator (a member of the ``lineterm'' class). If the input token is trivial (a member of the ``trivial'' class), it is discarded. Otherwise it is retained, in hopes that it will be the next token that the parser asks for.
Either way, an error message is produced, indicating what was desired, what was seen, and what was handed to the parser. If too many of these messages have been produced for a single line, the parser gives up, produces a last despairing message, emits a ``#!aargh'' action token to alert later pases, and exits. Barring this disaster, parsing then con- tinues. If the parser at some point is willing to accept the input token, it is accepted and error repair terminates. If a line termina- tor is seen in input, or the parser requests one, before the parser is willing to accept the input token, the second phase begins.
The second stage of resynchronization attempts to line both input and parser up on a line terminator. If the desired token is a line termi- nator and the input token is not, input is discarded until a line ter- minator appears. If the desired token is not a line terminator and the input token is, the input token is retained and parsing continues until the parser asks for a line terminator. Either way, the third phase then begins.
The third stage of resynchronization attempts to reconcile line termi- nators. If the desired and input tokens are identical, the input token is accepted and error repair terminates. If they are not identical and the input token is trivial (yes, line terminators can be trivial, and ones like `;' probably should be), the input token is discarded. If the desired token is the endmarker, then the input token is discarded. Otherwise, the input token continues to be retained in hopes that it will eventually be accepted. [xxx this needs more thought] In any case, the second phase begins again.

``error-repair disaster'' means that the first token of a double looka- head could not be accepted and error repair was invoked on it.
Written at University of Toronto by Henry Spencer, somewhat in the spirit of S/SL (see ACM TOPLAS April 1982).
Some of the restrictions on double lookahead are annoying.
Most of the C string escapes are recognized but disregarded, with only a backslashed double-quote interpreted properly during text generation.
Error repair needs further tuning; it has an annoying tendency to infi- nite-loop in certain odd situations (although the messages/line limit eventually breaks the loop).
Complex choices/loops with many branches can result in very long lines in the table.
The implementation of AASL was fairly straight forward, with AASL itself used to describe its own syntax. An AASL specification is compiled into a table, which is then processed by a table-walking interpreter. The interpreter expects input to be as tokens, one per line, much likethe output of a traditional scanner. A complete program using AASL (for example, the AASL table generator) is normally three passes: thescanner,the parser (tables plus interpreter), and a semantics pass. The first set of tables was generated byhand for bootstrapping.
Apart from the minor nuisance of repeated iterations of language design, the biggest problem ofimplementing AASL wasthe question of semantic actions. Inserting awk semantic routines into the table interpreter, in the style of yacc,would not be impossible, but it seemed clumsy and inelegant. Awks lack of anyprovision for compile time initialization of tables strongly suggested reading them in at run time, rather than taking up space with a huge BEGIN action whose only purpose was to initialize the tables. This makes insertions into the interpreters code awkward.
The problem was solved by a crucial observation: traditional compilers (etc.) merge a two-stepprocess, first validating a token stream and inserting semantic action cookiesinto it, then interpreting thestream and the cookies to interface to semantics. Forexample, yaccs grammar notation can be viewed asinserting fragments of C code into a parsed output, and then interpreting that output. This approach yieldsan extremely natural pass structure for an AASL parser,with the parsersoutput stream being (in the absenceof syntax errors) a copy of its input stream with annotations. The following semantic pass then processesthis, momentarily remembering normal tokens and interpreting annotations as operations on the remembered values. (The semantic pass is, in fact, a classic pattern+action awk program, with a pattern and anaction for each annotation, and a general save the value in a variableaction for normal tokens.)
The one difficulty that arises with this method is when the language definition involves feedbackloops between semantics and parsing, an obvious example being Cs typedef.Dealing with this reallydoes require some imbedding of semantics into the interpreter,although with care it need not be much: thein-parser code for recognizing C typedefs, including the complications introduced by block structure andnested redeclarations of type names, is about 40 lines of awk.The in-parser actions are invoked by a special variant of the AASL emit semantic annotationsyntax.
Aside benefit of top-down parsing is that the context of errors is known, and it is relatively easy to implement automatic error recovery. When the interpreter is faced with an input token that does not appearin the list of possibilities in the parser table, it givesthe parser one of the possibilities anyway, and then usessimple heuristics to try to adjust the input to resynchronize. The result is that the parser,and subsequentpasses, always see a syntactically-correct program. (This approach is borrowed from S/SL and its predecessors.) Although the detailed error-recovery algorithm is still experimental, and the current one is notentirely satisfactory when a complex AASL specification does certain things, in general it deals with minorsyntax errors simply and cleanly without anyneed for complicating the specification with details of errorrecovery.Knowing the context of errors also makes it much easier to generate intelligible error messagesautomatically.
The AASL implementation is not large. The scanner is 78 lines of awk,the parser is 61 lines of AASL (using a fairly low-density paragraphing style and a good manycomments), and the semantics pass is 290 lines of awk. The table interpreter is 340 lines, about half of which (and most of the complexity) can be attributed to the automatic error recovery.
As an experiment with a more ambitious AASL specification, one for ANSI C was written. This occupies 374 lines excluding comments and blank lines, andwith the exception of the messy details of Cdeclaratorsis mostly a fairly straightforward transcription of the syntax given in the ANSI standard. Generating tables for this takes about three minutes of CPU time on a Sun 3/180; the tables are about 10K bytes.
The performance of the resulting ANSI C parser is not impressive: in very round numbers, averagedoveralarge program, it parses about one line of C per CPU second. (The scanner,164 lines of awk, accounts for a negligible fraction of this.) Some attention to optimization of both the tables and the interpreter might speed this up somewhat, but remarkable improvements are unlikely. As things stand in the absence of better awk implementations or a rewrite of the table interpreter in C, its a cute toy, possibly of some pedagogical value, but not a useful production tool. On the other hand, there does not appear to be any fundamental reason for the performance shortfall: itspurely the result of the slowexecution of awk programs.
The scanner would be much faster with better regular-expression matching, because it can use regular expressions to determine whether a string is a plausible token but must use substr to extract the string first. Nawk functions would be very handy for modularizing code, especially the complicated and seldom-invoked error-recovery procedure. A switch statement modelled on the pattern+action scheme would be useful in several places.
Another troublesome issue is that arrays are second-class citizens in awk (and continue to be so in nawk): there is no array assignment. This lack leads to endless repetitions of code like:
for (i in array) arraystack[i ":" sp] = array[i]
whenever block structuring or a stack is desired. Nawk's multi-dimensional arrays supply some syntactic sugar for this but don't really fix the problem. Not only is this code clumsy, it is woefully inefficient compared to something like
arraystack[sp] = array
even if the implementation is very clever. This significantly reduces the usefulness of arrays as symboltables and the like, a role for which they are otherwise very well suited.
It would also be of some use if there were some way to initialize arrays as constant tables, or alternatively a guarantee that the BEGIN action would be implemented cleverly and would not occupy space after it had finished executing.
A minor nuisance that surfaces constantly is that getting an error message out to the standard-error descriptor is painfully clumsy: one gets to choose between putting error messages out to a temporary file and having a shell "wrapper" process them later, or piping them into "cat >&2" (!).
The multi-pass input-driven structure that awk naturally lends itself to produces very clean and readable code with different phases neatly separated, but creates substantial difficulties when feedback loops appear. (In the case of AASL,this perhaps says more about language design than about awk.)

Jarrett's Story
I am blessed with a wonderful husband and when he broached the subject of having children and how we wanted to raise them, I knew he would be a wonderful father. Amazingly, we became pregnant right away. From the day he found out that we were expecting, my husband became so excited that, on that same night he began cleaning and remodeling our spare room for the nursery. Every day, I was filled with more and more love for him and for our baby boy. I looked forward to the day that I would see the two of them together for the first time.
Everything progressed normally and time passed quickly. I had my baby shower during my 28th week and was poked fun at for doing it so early but I believe in being prepared! By my 30th week I was slowing down and experiencing swelling. At my 32nd week, my doctor told me he wanted to keep a close eye on me in case I was developing pre-eclampsia, but assured me that he was prepared to handle it and it was nothing to worry about. At the end of my 33rd week I had to be escorted to our company's nurses' station, and after checking my blood pressure, found that it had skyrocketed.
I somehow convinced the doctor that I could work as long as I took three 20-minute naps a day at work. As the following week progressed, I became increasingly tired and swollen. There was no denying that the pre-eclampsia had developed. At the end of my 34th week the doctor said I was finished working and had to go on bedrest, making sure that I lay on my left side as much as possible. My husband was so supportive and worried! He took extra special care of me during these last few weeks and made calls to our parents and neighbors to check in on me during the day. The first week I was on bedrest, I didn't get much rest. I spent the week running back and forth to the lab to deliver and let them collect various samples for a multitude of tests. My doctor told me I may be out in the hospital by that coming Friday for observation.
That Friday came and so did the call. I was to head to the hospital and stay there overnight. My husband took the day off to be home when I got the call, as he was quite worried about the baby and me by that time. We packed a small overnight bag and I threw the diaper bag and carseat in the car "just in case." When we got to the hospital, they checked me in, took some more samples and we waited. Then everything happened so quickly!
The nurse rushed in, saying, "You're going to have a baby tonight." My husband and I looked at each other in disbelief. I was only in my 36th week!
The staff at the hospital assured us everything would be ok, and that a NICU team would be waiting to perform a health check of the baby as soon as he was born. I also had a small window of time to deliver in. My doctor was on call from midnight to 8 a.m., and if I hadn't delivered by 8, I would have another doctor assist in the delivery. It was a relief to both my husband and I that my doctor actually came to the hospital at midnight to sleep until I was either ready to deliver or his time expired.
Luckily, my labor, which was induced at 6 p.m. on Friday, was over by 5:04 a.m. Saturday. The time between the induction and starting to push seemed such a long time, and then in less than an hour of pushing I delivered our beautiful son, Jarrett Michael. We were awestruck and in love at the first sight of him. The only "obstacle" was the NICU clearing his health. After an anxious passing of several minutes, they cleared him and gave him to my husband to hold. The sight of the two of them together, each regarding the other quietly, wide-eyed, and with equal awe with my husband's love clearly reflected on his face was well-worth all of the anxiety, swelling, and health risks imposed on my body to deliver this little miracle to me and my husband!

I was feeling inspired by JuJuan some moore's comment over on QuadBoiler's Roster analysis fanpost.
"... Doesn't anyone care how my day is going? Maybe go check on your family's or volunteer around the community today..."
It's a fair point, though laced with expletives if you read the whole comment. It made me think about how we hardly know each other. Sure, some of you have met in person, or know one another better than others. But maybe in this free space between major sports, we could get to know each other a little better.
So discuss amongst yourselves, I'll give you a few topics and even chime in myself:
- How *is* your day going?
- How has your family's summer been?
- How have you handled the off-season away from CBB and CFB?
- What are you doing in your community as a volunteer?
- How do you spend your time when not commenting on H&R?
Not intended to be an exhibition OR a competition. Just a way to get to know each other better. No bragging rights to be gained - retract the claws on this one, and above all have fun.

How are the spring positioned? If they are in this config: 111 in which they are parallel there will be less tension. If they are like that try angling them so that the center spring is straight and the two springs on the left and right are angled . I'm quite sure this should work since i have my axe tuned to E with a set of 13s with that spring setup and my bridge is parallel to the body.

The MFA program in Studio Art at the University of Connecticut features an intensive, multidisciplinary approach to the development of work in a wide range of art media, including drawing and painting, printmaking, sculpture and ceramics, photography, video, installation and performance.
The program focuses on the advancement of each student's abilities as an artist. Work in the studio and studio based classes is combined with courses in art criticism, theory and history to provide a context of ideas for developing students' visions. Frequent contact with faculty members and visiting artists exposes students to diverse viewpoints and practices.
Tuition is fully waived and generous fellowships are given for teaching and gallery assistantships in this highly selective program. Beginning with fall semester 2015 the Program will require three years of full time study for completion of the M.F.A. degree. M.F.A students work closely with faculty members from all areas of the Department of Art and Art History, as well as with visiting artists, and are expected to demonstrate exceptional commitment and productivity. Graduate students must achieve at least a 3.0 grade point average (GPA) for all work carried each semester and maintain a 3.0 cumulative GPA for all work completed at the University of Connecticut.
Graduation requirements include the group M.F.A. Exhibition and public talk at the William Benton Museum of Art on the UConn Campus, as well as a final M.F.A. Project thesis paper, on which oral exam questions are based. Following graduation, students present their M.F.A. Exhibition in June at a New York City gallery.
Sharon Butler writes on her blog, Two Coats of Paint, why the University of Connecticut MFA in Studio Art should be included in "The Ten MFA Programs That Give You The Best Bang For Your Buck", published last year in Artinfo. Click here to read more.

Funding opportunities
Bone-marrow derived mesenchymal stem cell based therapy for severe bacterial pneumonia and septic shock
Funding Type:
New Faculty Physician Scientist
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$2 658 084
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
This proposal is focused on developing bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as a therapy for critically ill patients who have severe pneumonia leading to lung injury and an overwhelming bloodstream infection (sepsis). This syndrome is the most common cause of death among patients in Intensive Care Units, and it carries a mortality rate of 40-50% despite the best supportive care and accounts for over 200,000 deaths/year. New therapies are urgently needed. MSCs are adult stem cells usually obtained from the bone marrow that have been demonstrated to have significant protective effects in experimental models of severe lung injury and sepsis. MSCs work by reducing excessive inflammation, promoting the clearance of bacteria, and facilitating the repair of injured organ tissues. The studies in this proposal will use validated, clinical grade MSCs in a mouse model of severe lung injury and sepsis to help answer important remaining questions in the effort to develop MSCs a therapy for critically ill patients. Specifically, it will determine the optimal growth conditions for MSCs, the optimal manner in which MSCs should be delivered to patients, and whether purified proteins obtained from MSCs can achieve protection similar to using live cells. The results from these experiments will significantly enhance our ability to develop the most optimal MSC based therapy for patients with severe lung injury and sepsis that can be tested in a clinical trial.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Public Health Benefit. The proposed research aims to develop a novel, stem cell based therapy for critically ill patients who have severe lung injury and sepsis from bacterial pneumonia. This is the most common cause of death among critically ill patients with a mortality rate of 40-50% despite the best, current supportive care. The incidence and severity of this syndrome is expected to increase as the population of California and the nation increases. Furthermore, antibiotic resistance has significantly hampered the treatment of patients with this clinical disease, and the need for new forms of therapy is high. Therefore, this proposal will provide significant potential benefit to the citizens of California by helping to treat this important public health problem. Economic Benefit. During the current economic climate in California and the nation, the impact that an investment such as the current CIRM program has on improving the employment potential of Californians is important to consider. As part of this proposal, new personnel will be hired to help in the completion of the studies. These individuals, along with the principal investigator, will become part of a highly trained group of investigators that will help create a sustainable program of innovative stem cell research for patients in California who have lung disease.
Review Summary:
Executive Summary The overall objective of this proposal is to develop bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as therapy for patients with severe sepsis and lung injury due to bacterial pneumonia. Despite several attempts there have been no pharmacological agents that have consistently reduced mortality from severe sepsis. Three aims have been proposed to achieve the objectives of the proposal. In Aim 1 the applicant plans to identify optimal growth conditions for MSC expansion. In Aim 2 the applicant will use an established mouse model of gram-negative pneumonia and septic shock to identify the optimum route, dose and timing of cell delivery. Finally, in Aim 3 the applicant will explore whether purified paracrine factors secreted by MSCs are as effective in promoting lung repair as MSCs themselves. Research Plan - The research is minimally innovative as it is based on similar studies carried out previously by the applicant and the concept of using MSCs to treat this indication is well-established. - Reviewers questioned the reliance of the experimental approach where the cells are provided by an industrial collaborator whose reputation is not well established. - The reviewers questioned the experimental design of the project. For example there was a concern on the timing of the delivery of therapeutic cells in the mouse model relative to what is seen clinically, and the fact that the chosen model doesn't replicate the pathophysiology of the disease. - Reviewers commented on lack of experimental details on the study of paracrine factors for therapeutic benefit. For example it was unclear which paracrine factors will be administered and at what dose, and whether they would be given alone or in combination. Without this information it was difficult to judge the feasibility of the project. - Reviewers were not convinced that the proposed preclinical studies could be utilized as IND-enabling studies and questioned the relevance and scalability of the mouse model when considering optimum doses, timing and mode of administration to human. In addition, IND-enabling work should assess efficacy in combination with current standard of care therapies. - Reviewers thought that the applicant had underestimated the immunogenicity potential of MSC, especially in the xenogeneic setting and the intravenous (i.v.) route of delivery. - There was not enough work proposed in the application to justify the proposed time or budget. Principal Investigator (PI) - The PI is a practicing Pulmonologist and Critical Care physician with MSC research background. - The reviewers did not find PI's publication record to be impressive and were concerned about the lack of productivity. - The proposed mentors have good qualifications in mentoring successful physician-scientists. Institutional Commitment - The applicant institution has made a commitment to the candidate's translational research career, providing laboratory space, salary, research support and mentoring. There is excellent collaborative potential within the environment and immediate area. - The applicant institution has an excellent track record in development of physician scientists, and a strong commitment to researchers and clinicians in the area of stem cell research. Responsiveness - The proposal was considered to be highly responsive and unlikely to get funding from traditional funding agency due to exploratory nature of the research.

Last week I was at my local public library branch and saw Crazy Rich Asians displayed prominently in the new reads section. Look at that cover, how could I not check it out?
Something I hear quite often in Vancouver is how rich overseas Chinese come with their money and buy up all the land, driving up real estate prices. I don't know how true this is because no-one has done/published a rigorous analyses of the Vancouver real estate market by race and nationality, however there is a very strong sentiment amongst Vancouverites that this is true.
This book is over the top and just too unbelievable. From my lens as an Asian American, I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, not because the situations and character motivations are true to my experiences, but precisely because they are not. I mean who even flies first class and charters private planes to private islands. I'm wary of this new set of stereotypes of crazy rich asians, but at the same time appreciate more representations of asians/ asian americans in literature.
I'm also reading Amy Chau's Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, which is beyond aggravating. After reading all the commentary on this book, and taking care of many children of "tiger mothers" in our work, Dzung and I decided to read it ourselves. We are halfway through and Dzung has given up. He says he is too angry to continue on. I'm going to keep on trucking just in case there is some little bit of insight at the end or some act of redemption. So far, Amy's account of her parenting tactics (that she generalizes, even though she claims she doesn't, to all Asians) are mean, abusive, and goes against our grain as positive youth development advocates. Here is a book that does do damage to the Asian American community by reinforcing awful stereotypes. At one point of the book she basically implies that uncouth asians eat dogs. When I get to the end of the book, if she is reflective and less crazy, I will report back.

Very cloudy and hazy. No too much head to speak of. Interesting appearance. Nice crown of foam.
Paper scent. Much like soggy cardboard. Dirt.
Very off-putting. It tastes like my first homebrew (it was a stout). Not much good to say about this one. Over carbonated. Light body. Not creamy or hoppy. Bad, just bad. Very off style and wrong.
Not recommended. Drain pour, if i had the heart. Thanks Jeremy and Killion for the thought! you two rock!

A - Pours a clear copper body with two fingers worth of head...the head was creamy and rocky and off white in color...there was a full cap of retention which left decent lacing
S - Citrus and floral hops...there is a semi-sweetness to the nose...a big dose of citrus rind
T - There is not much going on here...there is a citrus hop presence that lends some sweetness but gives off more bitter rind flavor...there is a strong caramel sweetness...it starts off as an underlying flavor but it grows in strength as the beer warms
M - Medium bodied...huge metallic twang, bitter, underlying sweet caramel
O - At first I thought my bottle might have been a little old, but after seeing the other reviews this beer was not old...the flavors were pretty one dimensional and didn't present themselves as a whole package

A: Clear and dark ambe pourr. Single finger width, creamy head. Leaves a little lacing behind as it goes on.
S: Hops in the smell, mild pine notes. A strong sourness to it as well.
T: The usual grassy hop taste with a balance of malt thrown in. A hint of caramel sits on the tongue. Bitter, but pretty mildly.
M: Pretty crisp and a little light, but overall medium bodied. Starts to stick around mid-glass in the back of the throat.
There are better IPAs, but this one is pretty solid, especially once the beer warms a bit.

Amber colored beer, not winning any points for clarity. Hefeipa or something huh? Didn't pick up hops in the aroma, picked up the smell of the metal can.
Taste, not as horrible as my brother seemed to make me think it was gonna be. Don't get me wrong, this stuff sucks for an ipa, but it is drinkable at least. Then again, I did pawn most of it off on the girlfriend after a few sips. Leans to the maltier side of things, an appreciable degree of bitterness. More metallic flavor possibly contributing to the bitterness where there appears to be little hop contribution.
Comes in a can, bonus points, but really, this beer's only positive is that its in a can. Drinkable, but not recommended.

12oz bottle. Pours a reddish amber with a small off white head that quickly goes to a thin film.
The aroma is sweet vegetal crystal malts with a little fruit and grassy hops.
The flavor is sweet crystal malts with a little green resin from the hops. It has decent grassy bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and watery.
Overall, not a great IPA. It's too sweet and doesn't show good hop characteristics with some off notes.

I had never heard of this brewery before I picked this one up as part of a mixed six pack last week. Turns out it is contract brewed at Fort Collins Brewery. Amber colored with a decent beige head. Aromas of pine, caramel and stone fruit. On the palate, medium bodied, not all that hoppy, toast and caramel.

A vigorous pour from the can into my Lost Abbey Teku glass produces a two-finger thick, amber tinged, tan colored head. The beer is a dark amber color that shows a brilliantly clear, copper-amber hue when held up to the light. The aroma smells of citrusy Cascade like-hops backed up by sweet-tea like crystal malt. The hop character is definitely dominant and has a touch of resinous character to it, but it really reminds me of ruby-red grapefruit juice and zest more than anything.
Fairly sweet tasting up front, with softer hop character than was in the aroma, but the finish takes a wrong turn some where and reminds me of stewed, oxidized crystal malt in a not so pleasant way; my second sip has this morphing into a dirty dish water like flavor that is backed by a piney, bitter hop note. At the front of the tongue the hop character contributes a citrusy, grapefruit like and orange zest flavor along with some resinous pine and herbal hop notes. The beer has a pretty good texture for this type of beer; if it wasn't for the off flavor in the finish, this would be quite quaffable with its medium light body.
Certainly an interesting beer, at times the dirty flavors towards the finish seem to disappear (but mostly it is way to distracting), but I can't say that I really like the heavier crystal malt direction. In the end though the flavor can almost seems gross; it really does remind me of dirty dishwater, it is a shame as there might be a half-way decent beer here otherwise.

Poured from 12 oz. can into standard pint glass.
A - looks a nice amber color, with a bit of cloudiness to it. Head retention was minimal and disappeared within a minute or so.
M - smooth. Different, reminds me more of an English ipa. That said, much different than the most ipa's in colorado.
T - really small hop flavor. Dominated by malt. Not bad, just not what I expected.
D - drinkable, but I'd have a tough time buying this one again unless it was the only ipa in the store.

This is my 2nd Silverton after the "Bear Ass Brown" which wasn't too bad.
Pours a deep burnt orange. Pretty highly carbonated initially, but it settles down after a bit. Lacing is pretty prevalent, though.
Smells like a pretty typical American pale ale. A mix of hops (centennial would be my guess) with a mix of biscuity malts. Apparently this is a UK style IPA, so it's not far off the mark.
The hops hit your palate initially, but the malts really take over in the middle. The finish isn't really bitter at all, but more biscuit malts.
I'd probably call this a malt-centric American Pale instead of an English IPA. It's way too strong for an English brew, but way underhopped for an American one.
Pretty drinkable and refreshing for something at nearly 6.8% ABV.
Decent beer, but it's not much of an IPA of any kind. It's another one of those hoppy red ales that doesn't really belong in an IPA category.
Still, I really don't think this is too bad. It was certainly drinkable, just mislabeled and under-performing. I imagine this is a good beer for people used to macros but who want to drink something a bit better. Definitely not a geek beer.

Served on tap @ Silverton Brewery.
A- Clear amber with 1 finger of heasd that quickly goes away. No lacing.
A_ very light hops & malt smell Hard to smell over the burnt pizza smell permiating the establishment.
T- Light hops taste w/ big malt back note.
M- Medium to light mouth feel with proper carbonation.
The menu says this is an IPA 6.5 ABV @ 73 IBU. Board on wall says "Americanized ESB" using cascade and palisades hops 6.0 abv 72 IBU.
This seems to be more of an ESB.
I would not go out of my way to get this beer, in fact given this trail and other reviews I will probably avoid this brewery. See my beerfly report for more.

a: silver can with a pasted-on label, bright copper color, frothy eggshell head, good retention

m: carbonation light-moderate and somewhat bubbly at first, light-medium body
t: pale malt body with a mild dosage of toasty caramel, pulpy citrus hops, not extremely vivid but tasty enough, good bitterness, clean with no off flavors
d: just fine, an average ipa in most respects, but the last reviewer seems to have reviewed a bad can

1.58/5 rDev -42.5%
Sad to report, this "award-winning" brew is one of the worst things I've ever put to my lips.
Pours a lightly amber gold with minimal head or retention. Color is alright, and I'm fine with a touch of haze in my IPAs.
But with the first whiff something seems amiss. Buttery toffee notes against a stale hop and prune-y, oxidative backdrop.
On the palate this is a huge, buttery, diacetyl laden mess. Hop flavors are swallowed whole, grapefruit and citrus notes are hiding in the background, and even the malt character is swallowed up. Redemption only comes, strangely, in the finish, which has a nice, firm bitterness that cleans it a little off the tongue.
Between the diacetyl and high alcohol problems noted in a bunch of Silverton beers, I'd say someone needs to work on their temp control...

I must break you, griff man.
For the first time in a long time we have a 7'0+ man in the center position. In fact, we have two now! Who may it be you ask? Well I'll tell you.. hailing from Russia, and standing at 7'1 is a machine. He has the city key to every town in Russia and has pictures of Blake Griffin all over his room, with a bunch of darts in them because to him, Blake Griffin was the destroyer of the Russian golden boy a long time ago...
Timofey Mozgov, is there anyone who has more of a legend on the Nuggets roster? No, not since the days of Balkman have there not been a man shrouded in just a majestic shroud of legend. Sure he has hardly done anything in the league since entering the league with the New York Knicks in 2010. Despite just recently joining the NBA, he has been playing basketball professionally since 2004, playing in St. Petersburg, then he moved to CSK VVS-2 Samara and finally the Khimiki Moscow Region from 2006 to 2010. He only played 11.6 minutes a game last year so it is hard to get a good measure of where he will stand this year, but none the less, I feel it will be very interesting regardless. He should be getting good starting minutes this year being the center in this years starting lineup, a move that seems unusual for a George Karl offense, implementing a legit 7 footer.
He is relied on this year to do one thing, which is rebounding. The levels were too small to calculate last year but he did post a 13.2 rebound rate last year which was just as good as Marc Gasols 13.2 rebound rating. Well what can we expect from him this year in terms of rebounding? Well last year he posted 8.2 rebounds per 36 minutes while he played for the New York Knicks however this stat increased to 9.3 in the eleven games he played last year for the Nuggets, still a small sample size but if it is any indication of what to expect this year, it is a warm welcome.
From Russia With Love.
Offensively, I think most people only expect him to get a few wide open jams, a few put backs and not much else and I think that is pretty accurate in assumption, but he was not put in to score but to cover up Nene and his weakness, being rebounding. Also I expect him to replace the Kenyon crazy in terms of hitting hard and playing hard defense. Last year he was very willing to smack the day lights out of any guard who drove to the hoop, just ask Eric Gordon, who was smacked to the floor by Mozgov in a strong hard foul that Moz was more than eager to accept.
Eric Gordon gets fouled hard by Timofey Mozgov
If he develops this sort of reputation as a hard hitter, I think guards will think twice before trying to drive to the lane against us for fear of a season ending injury or being broken in half by the Russian machine. I think he'll need to work on his foot positioning and hold his ground more often against opposing centers. There are weak spots though, such as he will always constantly be the last person down the court but that is the price you pay for a legit center, and it will give us a lot of practice to work on our half-court offense this year well before the playoffs.
Ideally I see Mozgov becoming a 11 PPG, 10 RPG and coming in and playing hard defense against opposing centers, getting a lot of fouls and taking a load off of Nene this year, if he can do all of the above, I think we will be a strong contender this year. I feel like he is motivated to be a legit center in the league and being known for more than the guy with the worst facial on the receiving end of a dunk last year..
Blake Griffin RIDICULOUS slam dunk on Mozgov
If Dwight Howard can recover from his rookie campaign from being facial fodder for Kobe Bryant, so can Mozgov.
If Mozgov becomes our rebounding machine, I believe we have the chance to be better this year because one of the main reasons we lost to the Thunder last year in the playoffs was rebounding. It can not be said enough.
Finally, we are introduced to Kosta Koufos, who despite being considered a bust since being drafted out of Ohio St. still has a very impressive frame that can be used to good use. He is 7'0 tall as well, and 265 lbs. He is big and athletic so one has to wonder why he hasn't had a stint as a starting center somewhere yet but the answer is that he is very slow amongst centers, not very quick and apparently pretty clumsy. I haven't seen enough of him as of so far so I don't really have a lot to say about him, but here is my quick take scouting report on him..
He is a pretty mediocre basketball player.. He can get to the line sometimes, and he is not much of a shooter really. He is big and I think his main strength is offensive rebounding. He posted 12.1 rebounds per 36 minutes in the 11 games for us last year so there is some debate in the Nugget fan community whether he should getting the starting job over Mozgov and I feel that most think Mozgov is the one with the potential, not Kostas. However, some people believe Mozgov to be nothing more than a stiff and some see the next Joel Przybilla in Kostas Koufos as nothing more than a late bloomer center. They both are big, round and at the age Kostas is at, Pryzbilla was at his talent level too yet somehow turned into an effective player for the Trailblazers for a few years, being a good rebounding, defensive center for them.
Kostas shows off his biggest talent; his body, and his body alone.
He is only twenty two years old, so let us give this kid a break.. I suggest if Mozgov starts to suck this year at the starting position, and there is a good chance he does, than Kostas should get starting minute time to prove himself to George Karl and the Nugget franchise.
So what do you think? Should Mozgov be the starting 5? Kostas? Maybe even Chris Anderson?
Overall I'd say this is still a weak position for us but I still think there is potential here.
Grade: C+
Overall I imagine that this team has the potential to be stronger than the sum of its parts. If they falter and don't mold together as a team however without WIlson Chandler, Kenyon Martin and J.R Smith this year.. this team may be in one of the worst places in pro sports.. the middle. No one wants to have middle round draft picks, no one wants to be the punching bag for the 1 and 2 seeds, more often than not. However this team in my opinion has the potential to be a strong contender this year.. for they are young and will benefit from the shortened season.
For the regular season, I will guess that this team will post a record of 42 wins and 24 losses.
I'll take a stab at guessing who will lead who in which statistical categories..
Points- Gallo
Rebounds- Mozgov
Assists- Ty Lawson
Fg%- Nene
Blocks- Chris Anderson
So if anyone wants to give their guesses on who'll lead who in which category that is different from mine, let me hear!
From me and a member of ZZ Top, I mean Chris Anderson, I mean.. Santa Claus.. Merry Christmas!, Happy happy Hanukkah! And a Happy new year to all Nugget fans and Denver Stiff Readers.. let us make this years game threads be the best ones yet! Bring the humor, the stats, the insight, and the opinions!

Boston Police have 36-year-old Joel Cartogena in custody after a random carjacking Thursday afternoon in Boston's South End neighborhood.
Police say the victim, a 29-year-old medical student from Florida, was getting into her car on Waltham Street around 4 p.m. when the Cartogena pushed her into the vehicle and got behind the wheel.
Police say Cartogena claimed he had a weapon at the time. Cartogena drove the victim around for a few blocks before crashing into a parked van on West Dedham Street. He then jumped from the vehicle and attempted to flee before being arrested by a police officer working detail nearby. The victim ran to a nearby restaurant for help.
"The guy pushed her into the passenger seat and had her down, and when he crashed in to the back of the van the airbags went off," said restaurant owner Nivia Pina.
People who saw the suspect run from the scene went after him and got him to stop at a nearby park. Others alerted a nearby detail officer. Police say their actions helped get the suspect behind bars.
"This is a classic example of 'see something, say something,'" Boston Police Supt. Randall Halstead said.
The suspect is facing charges of kidnapping, carjacking, assault and battery with injury. He's due to go before a judge.
The victim was taken to a nearby hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

By Adam Brazeau
CORNWALL, Ontario – In the race to find a cure and spread awareness, dozens impacted by a silent disease fought back with their every step at the annual charity march for the Cornwall & District Alzheimer Society.
© Adam Brazeau
Over $20,000 was raised for the Cornwall District Alzheimer Society's 'Walk for Memories' on Jan. 19.
This year's top fundraising family collected $2,745 for the local Alzheimer Society's 'Walk for Memories' event.
For Vicky Tait, the money raised paid tribute to her beloved father, Clayton Shaver. He tragically passed away in early January after battling Alzheimer's for 16 years.
"Unfortunately, this year is a little bittersweet for us," said Tait, standing with a tight grip around her daughter, Camden.
She praised the Alzheimer Society for constantly helping her and her family throughout their journey with the disease.
"There's an abundance of resources to be had. I don't think my dad would've been able to stay at home as many years as he did with Alzheimer's without the support of the Society and the wonderful caseworkers that are there," said Tait.
Cornwall Alzheimer Society president Nicole Giroux-Laplante said 883 families have accessed their services over the last nine months. She acknowledged that Alzheimer Awareness Month is halfway done, and stressed the importance of getting yourself diagnosed before the disease sets in.
"I'm a firm believer that without proper awareness early diagnosis wouldn't be possible," said Laplante.
Sherry Davis, Alzheimer Society event organizer, was so impressed with the final amount raised she had to check it twice before announcing to a crowd of over 75 at the Cornwall Civic Complex.
"Thanks to all your support this year's Walk for Memories has raised $20,642," said Davis.
Donations will help fund peer support groups, a day away program, one-on-one support and ongoing research.
Three more events will also be taking place in the region next weekend.
On Saturday, Jan. 25 there will be a charity march from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Canadian International Hockey Academy in Rockland. This will be followed by a Zumbathon at the Char Lan Recreation Centre in Williamstown. Then the last big push for funds is Sunday, Jan. 26 at the Tim Hortons Dome in Alexandria, with performers Fridge Full of Empties.
Donations can be made here, if you're unable to make it to any of the events but want to support participants.

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - After news of Kidd Kraddick's death at age 53, his listeners across the nation are coming to grips with the unexpected passing.
The "Kidd Kraddick in the Morning" radio broadcast is syndicated to air on nearly 100 radio stations in America, including Mix 97.7 in Myrtle Beach.
David "Kidd" Kraddick was 53 when he passed away on Saturday, July 27 after an apparent massive heart attack in New Orleans.
Kraddick was in NOLA for a Kidd's Kids charity golf tournament. His charitable organization sent terminally ill children and their families to Walt Disney World. Three Myrtle Beach area children were selected as "Kidd's Kids" in 2012, reports Mix 97.7 program manager Ron Roberts.
"Having attended conventions alongside Kidd, then working with him at two different stations, he'd become like an extended relative," Ron Roberts said. "I'm not nearly as close to him, nor is he as much a part of my 'everyday' as he is for his co-hosts, Kellie, Al, J-Si and Jenna, so I can't begin to imagine what they're going through, but we're sort of stunned and bewildered as to the show's future ourselves. We know that his charity, "Kidd's Kids," however, will definitely live on in some capacity."

Senior libero Courtney Herschberger capped off her Taylor University volleyball career with NAIA Honorable Mention All-American honors.
The Fairfield High School graduate rewrote the libero records for Taylor this season as she set a new career high with 2,891 digs. This number is not only number one at Taylor, but ranks fourth all-time in NAIA history.
The exercise science major averaged 5.19 digs per game this year to lead the Crossroads League and rank 13th in the NAIA. She was selected as the Crossroads Libero of the Year and as a member of the First Team All-Crossroads League.
"I remember the day Courtney came to Taylor and started in our program as our libero," said Trojan head coach Brittany Smith in an article on the school's Web Site. "She had been an outside hitter, and I knew it would be a challenge for her to obtain an All-American honor in that spot. She would have to be one of the best of the best. And yet, four years later, she reached that goal. Not only did she lead our team and break several defensive records, but her numbers placed her as one of the top five libero's in the country, an absolutely outstanding accomplishment. It was her hard work, discipline and complete trust in her team and coaches that allowed her to reach his milestone. I am incredibly proud of her, and know she won't be easily replaced."
