With her majestic pose, upraised torch and steady gaze over New York's harbor, the Statue of Liberty is the supreme queen of American freedom. You might even say she's one of the most inspirational women in the world. In Lady Liberty: A Biography, author Doreen Rappaport continues her pursuit of wonderful iconic portrayals that includes Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Here, Rappaport pays tribute to the great copper lady by offering a series of poetic vignettes depicting the people who contributed to her creation and legacy. This fresh and refined life story of Lady LibertyŚa wonderful complement to textbook historiesŚis further enriched by the strikingly handsome illustrations of Matt Tavares.
Rappaport begins on a personal note, in present-day New York City, by imagining her own grandfather's experience as a Latvian immigrant. She then travels back to a French parlor on a summer evening in 1865 when law professor Edoaurd de Laboulaye declares, "Soon America will be one hundred years old. I share my dream of a birthday gift." Readers enter the studio of sculptor Auguste Bartholdi before structural engineer Gustave Eiffel arrives on the scene and hundreds of people gather on the streets of Paris to bear witness to the immense statue's construction.
Inspired by the news of the Lady's pending arrival, poet Emma Lazarus pens the words that will be inscribed on its pedestal: "Give me your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free." Soon, publisher Joseph Pulitzer calls on citizens to contribute to the costs of building the statue's base and, in New Jersey, young Florence De Foreest is moved to donate her pet roosters to Pulitzer's cause. When the Statue of Liberty is installed and unveiled on Bedloe's Island in 1886, she's met with thrilling patriotic fanfare.
Each episode in Lady Liberty: A Biography is imbued with intimacy and painterly precision. The combination of Rappaport's distinctive storytelling skills and Tavares' evocative watercolor-and ink-illustrated spreads will engage readers of all ages, while serving as a reminder that immigration is an issue relevant to every American.

Rappaport's "biography" consists of fictional first-person accounts representing the voices of people who assisted in the statue's design, building, financing, and transport. The stories, arranged chronologically, together convey a vivid sense of the ingenuity, politics, and hardships involved in making the statue a reality. Tavares's watercolor, pencil, and ink images complement each account precisely and emphasize the intimacy of Rappaport's vignettes. Reading list, timeline. Bib.

Rappaport's "biography" of the Statue of Liberty consists of fictional first-person accounts representing the voices of people who assisted in the design, building, financing, and transport of the Statue of Liberty from France to New York in the late nineteenth century. These include the French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, the American newspaper publisher Joseph Pulitzer, the poet Emma Lazarus, and Florence de Foreest, a ten-year-old New Jersey girl who donated her two roosters to the fundraising efforts. The accounts, arranged chronologically, together convey a vivid sense of the ingenuity, politics, and hardships involved in making the statue a reality. Rappaport writes with clear passion for her subject (she opens with a personal story in which she recounts how her young immigrant grandfather cried when he first saw the statue), yet the writing never becomes jingoistic or overly sentimental. She doesn't shy away from the less romantic aspects of the story, whether mentioning the antipathy of prominent individuals toward the project or describing the arduous sixteen-hour work days of Italian immigrant laborers. Tavares's watercolor, pencil, and ink images complement each account precisely, emphasizing the intimacy of Rappaport's vignettes with either dramatic close-ups of the speaking characters or representations of smaller scenes from the text. The back matter to this poignant and captivating portrait includes "Statue of Liberty Dimensions," a chronology of important events, author's and illustrator's notes, and selected sources.

Kirkus Reviews 2008 April #2
"She will be massive but elegant, / as grand as any one of the / Seven Wonders of the Ancient World." Tributes to the Statue of Liberty abound, but this one stands out for its unusual approach and powerful illustrations. Rappaport traces the statue's history in a series of stately free-verse poems in the voices of those who became involved in its creation: from Edouard de Laboulaye, who first proposed it, and sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, his assistant, to young Florence De Foreest, who sent her two pet roosters to help pay for the base; and Josķ Mart', Cuban exile and journalist. Generally viewed from low angles, all of the solid, serious human figures in Tavares's three-quarter-spread paintings bulk larger than life--and lead up to a spectacular climactic foldout view of the monument towering into cloudy skies on the rainy day of her unveiling. Closing with heartfelt comments from several immigrants or their children, this adds up to a stirring reminder of what Lady Liberty stands for.

Library Media Connection Reviews 2008 November/December
A not-so-typical view of the Statue of Liberty and her history, this book tells about the famous statue by presenting vignettes of the people involved with the lady. It begins with a group in France remembering the American Revolution and its impact on the French Revolution. The book continues as Bartholdi and his team design and build Lady Liberty, and Eiffel and his crew engineer its construction. In America, Emma Lazarus writes the poem that is chosen for the base, Pulitzer uses his newspaper to encourage people to contribute funds to the construction of the base on Bedloe?s Island, and the American people fund and celebrate the statue?s completion. End material includes comments from immigrants seeing Liberty as they sailed into New York Harbor, facts on the statue, a timeline of events, and sources for more information. Notes from both the author and illustrator give their feelings and connection to the statue. The short, lyrical text gives much information while still giving a sense of the emotions of the people involved. The pictures complement the text, using different perspectives and colors to give detail and feeling. The book is well worth adding to a collection. Recommended.

Publishers Weekly Reviews 2008 May #1
Tracing the Statue of Liberty's path to completion, Rappaport (Nobody Gonna to Turn Me 'Round ) lets those responsible for its creation tell the story of the project that spanned 20 years and two continents. Based on primary sources, their often lyrical, present-tense musings surge with the emotions behind the American symbol. "I listen to the people talk as they watch/ her skin being riveted onto her skeleton./ She inspires them. She inspires me," structural engineer Gustave Eiffel declares. Jumping from one historical figure to the next (for example, from Eiffel to poet Emma Lazarus) is both energizing and discomfiting, as readers must settle into a new voice with each spread. Tavares's (Iron Hans ) realistic illustrations are at their best in the sweeping, angled perspectives of the construction and easily justify the book's large trim size. The full-bleed spreads culminate in a vertical gatefold of the copper icon sans weathered patina, instantly whisking readers to the triumphant moment of Liberty's unveiling in 1886. Ages 5-9. (May)[Page 62]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.
Gr 3-8-- This handsome, thoroughly researched picture book tells the story of the statue from conception to dedication from the points of view of the many different players in Liberty's dramatic life. Beginning with the author imagining how her Latvian grandfather felt when he first spied "her," the presentation ends with several quotes from other European immigrants, describing their thoughts as "The Lady" welcomed them to America. The book's unique structure enables Rappaport to pack a wealth of background and detail into the text in an interesting, engaging way. Each spread features a one-and-a-half-page illustration, rendered in watercolor, ink, and pencil, accompanied by a framed narrative poem. Children meet douard de Laboulaye, the French law professor who conceived of the statue, and sculptor Auguste Bartholdi, with whom he collaborated. Assistant Marie Simon outlines the intensive mathematical process of turning the original four-foot clay model into the copper "Colossus" she would become. Other voices include Charles P. Stone, a construction supervisor on Bedloe's Island, and Joseph Pulitzer, whose moving editorials inspired 100,000 Americans to donate money when Congress and the Mayor of New York would not. Tavares's evocative paintings bring each perspective to life, from images of an immigrant's outstretched arms to the countless workers measuring, building, and digging. A beautiful, innovative volume.--Barbara Auerbach, New York City Public Schools[Page 148]. Copyright 2008 Reed Business Information.

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights
Adopted and proclaimed by General Assembly resolution 217 A (III) of 10 December 1948
The Declaration is Adopted
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the General Assembly on 10 December 1948, by a vote of 48 to 0. There were eight abstentions: six Soviet Bloc states, South Africa and Saudi Arabia. Although Canada initially rejected the Declaration, citing its conflict with provincial jurisdiction, the country ultimately voted in favor of this landmark document and its stated principles.
On December 10, 1948 the General Assembly of the United Nations adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights the full text of which appears in the following pages. Following this historic act the Assembly called upon all Member countries to publicize the text of the Declaration and "to cause it to be disseminated, displayed, read and expounded principally in schools and other educational institutions, without distinction based on the political status of countries or territories."
Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world,
"Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice."
- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,
Whereas it is essential, if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression, that human rights should be protected by the rule of law,
Whereas it is essential to promote the development of friendly relations between nations,
Whereas the peoples of the United Nations have in the Charter reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person and in the equal rights of men and women and have determined to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom.
The influence of the Declaration
The influence of the Declaration's ideals can be seen in Canadian provincial and federal legislation. It served as a model for the Bill of Rights enacted in 1960, which was later expanded as the Charter of Rights and Freeedoms, in 1982. Did you know the Charter guarantees you freedom of religion and expression, and equal treatment without discrimination? The Charter continues to be amended to include the broaded rights and ptorections for all Canadians. Learn what other rights you have today!
Whereas Member States have pledged themselves to achieve, in co-operation with the United Nations, the promotion of universal respect for and observance of human rights and fundamental freedoms,
Whereas a common understanding of these rights and freedoms is of the greatest importance for the full realization of this pledge,
Now, Therefore THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY proclaims THIS UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS as a common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations, to the end that every individual and every organ of society, keeping this Declaration constantly in mind, shall strive by teaching and education to promote respect for these rights and freedoms and by progressive measures, national and international, to secure their universal and effective recognition and observance, both among the peoples of Member States themselves and among the peoples of territories under their jurisdiction.
"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side
of the oppressor."
- Bishop Desmond Tutu
Article 1.
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
Article 2.
Everyone is entitled to all the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration, without distinction of any kind, such as race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Furthermore, no distinction shall be made on the basis of the political, jurisdictional or international status of the country or territory to which a person belongs, whether it be independent, trust, non self governing or under any other limitation of sovereignty.
Women's Rights
A belief of the modern women's movement is that "a woman's place in society marks the level of civilization of that society." In what ways do culture and custom impact women's rights? There are still challenges to achieving equality for all women, in all aspects of their lives. Get informed, and celebrate International Women's Day on March 8th!
Article 3.
Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person.
Article 4
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
Article 5.
No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.
Article 6.
Everyone has the right to recognition everywhere as a person before the law.
Article 7.
All are equal before the law and are entitled without any discrimination to equal protection of the law. All are entitled to equal protection against any discrimination in violation of this Declaration and against any incitement to such discrimination.
Gay Rights
Homosexuality was decriminalized in Canada in 1969. Discrimination on the grounds of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transsexual status is prohibited, but the gay community still faces challenges to its inclusion. How are laws being expanded to protect the rights of people regardless of sexual orientation?
Article 8.
Everyone has the right to an effective remedy by the competent national tribunals for acts violating the fundamental rights granted him by the constitution or by law.
Article 9.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.
Japanese Internment
Can you imagine being forcibly displaced from your home and community? After the bombing of Pearl Harbor, the Canadian government removed over 20,000 Japanese Canadian citizens from the Pacific coast and relocated them to internment camps or forced labour projects. Their property was confiscated and sold. After the war, many were dispersed in the eastern and prairie provinces; others were deported to Japan. Not until 1949 did Japanese Canadians regain their freedom to live anywhere in Canada.
Notice the addition of one word to the June 1948 draft text. A simple change can be important. How does the word exile expand the scope of this article?
Article 10.
Everyone is entitled in full equality to a fair and public hearing by an independent and impartial tribunal, in the determination of his rights and obligations and of any criminal charge against him.
Article 11.
- (1)
- Everyone charged with a penal offence has the right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law in a public trial at which he has had all the guarantees necessary for his defence.
- (2)
- No one shall be held guilty of any penal offence on account of any act or omission which did not constitute a penal offence, under national or international law, at the time when it was committed. Nor shall a heavier penalty be imposed than the one that was applicable at the time the penal offence was committed.
Article 12.
No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.
Article 13.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to freedom of movement and residence within the borders of each state.
- (2)
- Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.
Does the June 1948 draft text seem insufficient compared with the final article? Why is it significant to add the right of return?
Article 14.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to seek and to enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution.
- (2)
- This right may not be invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Refugees and Displaced Persons
Canada's immigration policy had been one of exclusion. But the crisis of WWII and its thousands of refugees began to change that. After the war, following the persecution of civilian populations in Europe, especially Jews, Canada started accepting displaced persons seeking freedom, safety and a new home.
Article 15.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to a nationality.
- (2)
- No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his nationality nor denied the right to change his nationality.
Article 16.
- (1)
- Men and women of full age, without any limitation due to race, nationality or religion, have the right to marry and to found a family. They are entitled to equal rights as to marriage, during marriage and at its dissolution.
- (2)
- Marriage shall be entered into only with the free and full consent of the intending spouses.
- (3)
- The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State.
Note that the final article is more specific than the June 1948 draft text. Why is it important to include protection at the dissolution of marriage?
Article 17.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.
- (2)
- No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of his property.
Article 18.
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance.
Article 19.
Everyone has has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
Article 20.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.
- (2)
- No one may be compelled to belong to an association.
Article 21.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to take part in the government of his country, directly or through freely chosen representatives.
- (2)
- Everyone has the right of equal access to public service in his country.
- (3)
- The will of the people shall be the basis of the authority of government; this will shall be expressed in periodic and genuine elections which shall be by universal and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equivalent free voting procedures.
The Famous Five
Today there are thirty-four women senators in the Parliament of Canada. But this was not always the case: in 1927, five Canadian women went to court to claim their right to serve as senators. In what became known as the Persons Case, they petitioned the Supreme Court to examine the word "persons" in Section 24 of the British North America Act to determine whether it included women. The court said it did not. But the English Privy Council reversed that decision on appeal: women were "persons," it ruled, and therefore entitled to hold public office.
Article 22.
Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.
Aboriginal Rights
Did you know that the rights of Canada's Aboriginal peoples - First Nations, Inuit and Metis - were not recognized until 1982, in the Constitution Act, thirty four years after the UDHR? Why do you think it took so long? Today, Aboriginal peoples in Canada continue to work for recognition of their cultural and land rights following centuries of mistreatment, forced assimilation and broken treaties. Barriers to education and employment are among some of the challenges facing Aboriginal communities. How can this be changed?
Article 23.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to work, to free choice of employment, to just and favourable conditions of work and to protection against unemployment.
- (2)
- Everyone, without any discrimination, has the right to equal pay for equal work.
- (3)
- Everyone who works has the right to just and favourable remuneration ensuring for himself and his family an existence worthy of human dignity, and supplemented, if necessary, by other means of social protection.
- (4)
- Everyone has the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests.
Labour Rights
By going on strike, working men and women have put pressure on employers to meet their demands: for better wages and working conditions, for union recognition and the right of collective bargaining. Whether vigorously opposed or enjoying popular support, strikes from the Winnipeg General Strike of 1919 to the Asbestos mines walkout in 1949 have brought labour rights to Canadian attention. Did you know there are laws in Canada to protect your right to fair employment standards, including equal pay and holidays?
Article 24.
Everyone has the right to rest and leisure, including reasonable limitation of working hours and periodic holidays with pay.
Article 25.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.
- (2)
- Motherhood and childhood are entitled to special care and assistance. All children, whether born in or out of wedlock, shall enjoy the same social protection.
Article 26.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right to education. Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.
- (2)
- Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.
- (3)
- Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.
Article 27.
- (1)
- Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to share in scientific advancement and its benefits.
- (2)
- Everyone has the right to the protection of the moral and material interests resulting from any scientific, literary or artistic production of which he is the author.
The final article was expanded from the June 1948 draft text. How does its second clause ensure that you benefit from your creative efforts?
Article 28.
Everyone is entitled to a social and international order in which the rights and freedoms set forth in this Declaration can be fully realized.
Article 29.
- (1)
- Everyone has duties to the community in which alone the free and full development of his personality is possible.
- (2)
- In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.
- (3)
- These rights and freedoms may in no case be exercised contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations.
Article 30.
Nothing in this Declaration may be interpreted as implying for any State, group or person any right to engage in any activity or to perform any act aimed at the destruction of any of the rights and freedoms set forth herein.

Tampa Bay grabbed its first lead of the game in the eighth and never let it go.
Down 2-1, Sam Fuld started the rally with a pinch-hit single off starter Felix Hernandez. He advanced to second after third baseman Adam Kennedy took his time with a routine ground ball that would have ended the inning, allowing Johnny Damon to beat the throw for an infield single.
Evan Longoria made the Mariners pay with a two-out RBI to bring Fuld home. Tampa Bay didn't stop there as Ben Zobrist recorded the game-winning hit with a bloop single that dropped in front of center fielder Franklin Gutierrez.
Hernandez allowed all three of the Rays' runs, but turned in an eight-inning complete game. He gave up six hits and struck out nine.
The right-hander has now given Seattle at least seven innings in 15 of his past 18 starts.
Before the eighth, Hernandez and the Mariners were in a good position to win one on the road.
Seattle broke through for a run in the third to grab an early 1-0 lead. After left fielder Trayvon Robinson led off the inning with a double hit into the right-field corner, he advanced to third on a groundout by Ichiro Suzuki.
It didn't take a hit to drive Robinson in. An error did the job, as Gutierrez hit a groundball to shortstop Sean Rodriguez with the infield playing in. In an attempt to throw Robinson out at home, Rodriguez sailed the throw past catcher Jaso's outstretched left arm, allowing the run to score.
The Rays tied it up with some small ball in the fifth. With one out, B.J. Upton recorded Tampa Bay's first hit of the game on a sharply hit ball that skipped under Kennedy's glove. The speedster later stole second and third, before scoring on a safety squeeze play that resulted in a sacrifice bunt from Jaso.
But with the game knotted at 1 in the seventh, second baseman Kyle Seager hit his first career Major League home run -- a solo shot -- to give the Mariners an advantage that would eventually vanish.
Earlier in the contest, first baseman Mike Carp extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a single in the second inning.
The Mariners are now 21-38 on the road this season.

Tensions have flared and smear campaigns have taken hold in Israel ahead of the opening of polls in the Israeli national elections, with two reported incidents of vandalism at both Tzipi Livni's party and Shas headquarters.
In the first incident, unidentified vandals set fire to several Torah books at the Shas party headquarters in Or Yehuda on Saturday night, Israel Radio reported.
Shas MK Ariel Atias said the incident was a result of months of incitement against spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef and the Shas movement.
"We have seen in the past that words can become actions, and now we see that again," Israel Radio quoted Attias as saying. He added that "the scenes of vandalism are reminiscent of scenes the Jewish people would prefer to forget."
A poster featuring Bayit Yehudi leader Naftali Bennett close to a central Tel Aviv shopping mall had been defaced too.
On Sunday morning, vandals sprayed graffiti on the walls of the Tzipi Livni Party headquarters in Tel Aviv, according to a party statement.
The graffiti in Tel Aviv reads: "Yigal Amir was right," in a reference to former prime minister Yitzhak Rabin's murderer. MK Yoel Hasson filed a complaint with the police.
Tzipi Livni on Sunday responded to the graffiti, saying that the words "illustrate our understanding of the struggle we face."
"I didn't vote for Rabin but he was still my prime minister – and no one will assassinate our democracy and our Zionist dream."
Livni was also target by anonymous hacktivists who sent out text messages with her personal cellphone number, and calling on message-recipients to harass the Tzipi Livni Party chairwoman. The party filed a complaint with the police.
Hackers also targeted Yesh Atid's website with a DoS (denial-of-service) attack meant to crash the site by overwhelming the site's network with computer traffic. The party found the attacks originated from IP addresses in Israel and abroad and worked to stop them.

Collagen receptors as novel targets to lower the breast cancer risk associated with high mammographic density
Study Section:
Tumor Cell Biology I
Scientific Abstract:
Background: The association between increased breast density and the risk of developing breast cancer was discovered 30 years ago. These findings were confirmed by a multitude of subsequent studies, indicating that high mammographic density correlates with a four-fold or greater risk for breast cancer. Surprisingly however, the biological basis of this connection is, as yet, completely unknown. Studies on biopsy tissue found that high radiographic density is caused by increased collagen deposition as well as elevated cellularity. This suggests that aberrant interactions between mammary cells and the surrounding collagenous stroma lead to a higher risk of cancer. Rational and hypothesis: Our previous work has revealed that the tyrosine kinase receptors Discoidin Domain Receptor (DDR) 1 and 2 are activated by native collagens. Using a variety of normal and transformed breast cells, we observed that DDR activation by collagen results in sustained tyrosine kinase signaling function. Importantly, knockout mice lacking DDR1 fail to develop normal mammary gland epithelia at puberty and are unable to lactate at parturition. DDR1 is expressed by luminal epithelial cells and regulates adherens junction assembly, while DDR2 is found in the mammary stroma. In the current proposal we will test the hypothesis that aberrant DDR expression and signaling can cause the increased breast density linked to higher cancer risks. In the first aim we will explore this, in vitro, by analyzing DDR expression and signaling in three-dimensional tissue culture assays stimulated with altered collagen concentrations. In the second aim, we will use advanced microscopy techniques, such as polarized light birefringence, to investigate whether an altered collagen structure may lead to differential cellular growth, modeling changes in breast density. Furthermore, we will use genetically or enzymatically modified collagen preparations to unravel the specific extracellular matrix signals that trigger mammary epithelial cell proliferation and transformation. These findings will be validated in the third aim using mouse models. We will implant DDR1-null and wild-type mammary epithelial cells into the cleared fat-pad of recipient mice together with various types and concentrations of collagen. X-ray and whole-mount techniques will be used to analyze density, morphology and cellularity of the transplanted mammary glands. Relevance: Our research aims to unravel the so far mysterious mechanism linking breast density to elevated cancer risk. The proposed research will lead to the identification of collagen-mediated DDR signaling mechanisms that control breast tissue composition and tumor promotion. Our work will be relevant to the large target population of women with high breast densities. We anticipate that cell surface receptor interfering drugs may potentially qualify as preventative measures to reduce breast density and the associated cancer risk in healthy women.
Lay Abstract:
Background: Exactly thirty years ago, a radiologist discovered a link between elevated breast tissue density and an increased risk for the development of breast cancer. In the past years, many follow-up studies confirmed that high density correlates with a four-fold higher risk for the development of breast cancer. Higher breast density is due to a higher percentage of fibrous tissue relative to fat tissue in the mammary gland. Approximately 25% of postmenopausal women have higher than normal breast densities, exposing a large number of individuals to a potential cancer risk. Strikingly though, the biological basis of this association is completely unknown. It is clear, however, that collagen is one of the most common components of dense breast tissue. We, and others, have proposed that collagen is involved in the progression of breast cancer. Rationale and hypothesis: Our previous work has revealed that two surface molecules in normal breast cells, that we named Discoidin Domain Receptors (DDR), are activated by collagens. Using a variety of normal cells and breast cancer cells, we observed that DDR activity is necessary for the maintenance of normal breast function. Mice lacking DDR have abnormal mammary gland function, and are unable to lactate after giving birth. In the current proposal we will test the hypothesis that abnormal DDR function is linked to increased breast density and thereby to a higher risk for cancer. In the first aim we will explore this by testing DDR function in three-dimensional tissue culture assays containing collagen. We will use well-established DDR expressing breast cancer cell lines and record their signaling activities within a collagen-rich environment. In the second aim, we will use advanced microscopy techniques to investigate whether an altered collagen structure is the link between higher breast density and cancer risk. Furthermore, we will use genetically or chemically modified collagen preparations to unravel the signals that might trigger cancerous growth of breast tissue cells. These findings will be confirmed in the third aim using whole animals. We will use X-ray and tissue staining techniques to analyze breast density and cell counts of mice with both altered DDR function and elevated mammary gland collagen deposition. Relevance: Our research aims to solve the, so far mysterious, mechanism that links breast density to elevated cancer risk. Our work will identify collagen-mediated DDR signals that control breast tissue composition and tumor promotion. Targeting DDR with inhibitors may lower breast density and therefore cancer risk in postmenopausal women. We believe that by better understanding the many subtle mechanisms that lead to breast cancer, we will be able to fight it.

Sports News
Disabilities shouldn't affect sports participationThe Canadian Paralympic Committee (CPC) is reminding individuals with disabilities that it is possible to gear up with some new or used sports equipment and excel in sports.
During the recent UN International Day of Persons with Disabilities, the CPC spoke out on the benefits of sports participation for all children. In addition to helping them become more physically fit, playing sports helps youngsters build friendships and develop confidence.
"Sports open the door to many great life experiences and our goal is to encourage more Canadians with a disability to get involved and enjoy firsthand the many benefits that participation brings," said CPC CEO Henry Storgaard.
It's estimated that less than 3 percent of Canadians with a disability are active in organized sports. In order to improve participation rates, the CPC has launched a recruitment campaign called "It's More Than Sport." The campaign includes various public service announcements featuring some of Canada's most successful Paralympic athletes.
"I'm so grateful that when I was 13, I saw an athlete on TV with the same disability as mine, which made me realize that one day I could be a Paralympic athlete too," said champion Paralympic swimmer Benoit Huot. "It's really important to make sure the next generation of children with a disability have the same opportunities."
Individuals who want to learn more about opportunities for disabled athletes can visit Paralympic.ca.

Looks like Sergio is pretty comfortable with the current living situation. Soooo cute! He has a fuzzy face that I want to squish. Can you tell I'm totally loving this cat? I'm surprised that I've not yet had crazy allergy attacks. The allergy meds are sitting in a drawer in case they do attack on a moment's notice though.
Surprisingly, I am still working on the Become An Early Riser in 5 Days challenge. This morning, I awoke at 6:40, but getting out of bed was a different question. Our super comfy mattress doesn't help! Notice how I'm doing worse each day?
Since I had an appointment with the oral surgeon, I had to get up earlier than usual anyway. While I waited for about thirty minutes past my appointment time, the surgeon came in, saw me, and that was that. I'm still in recovery mode. Nothing exciting to report back, other than that I have to keep doing mouth-opening exercises. I have an appointment to check in with him in two months.
In other news, my sexy red mixer arrived! It is certainly as beautiful as I had hoped. But what shall I attempt to make first? Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not particularly skilled in the cooking department. Maybe I should stick with something that I already know, like a simple chocolate chip cookie recipe?
The possibilities are endless now that I am not mixing by hand with a spoon!

If Ernie Staten gets his way, city residents won't even notice that the Fairlawn Service Department's leadership has changed for the first time in a decade.
Staten, an 18-year city employee, has been named deputy service director, taking the departmental reins from his now-retired mentor, John Sellars.
Mayor William Roth, whose appointment of Staten was made official by City Council on Nov. 7, has nothing but praise for both men.
"John Sellars was a 36-year employee who worked his way up through ranks," Roth said. "He always put the interests of the city first and was a pleasure to work with. He was definitely an asset to the city and he will be missed."
Similarly, Staten has worked his way up through the ranks. The Copley native started working for the service department as a custodian/laborer when he was 23. That was 18 years ago.
"Ernie is very competent and will do a great job for the city," Roth said.
While Sellars had the title of service director when he retired on Nov. 1, Staten was named deputy director of public service. Roth said the title allows Staten to retain his status as a civil service employee while managing day-to-day operations in the department.
Roth, the city's 16-year mayor, has added the title of service director to his other non-compensated title of safety director.
"When I started as mayor, one of my many hats was service director," Roth reflected. "And when John first started he was deputy service director, then service director for 10 years."
Staten is being paid an annual salary of $84,555 to manage the department, which includes 11 full-time laborers, an administrative secretary and three part-time workers at the Andrew E. Sombati Compactor and Recycling Facility.
The department's major responsibilities include all facets of maintaining approximately 100-lane-miles of streets and right of ways, maintaining 95 acres of city owned parcels and the buildings located on them, as well as vehicle maintenance
Staten, whose most recent job title was street maintenance supervisor, spent his entire career in Fairlawn working with Sellars.
"He was my mentor and, for the last three to four years, we really became close and he helped me along in every facet of the job," Staten said. "I think he felt comfortable enough to retire and allow the service department to continue its functions with me as the leader."
Staten thought Sellars did a great job running the department, so he doesn't foresee any major policy shifts in the near future.
"I think, in the end, I don't want the residents to see any major changes," Staten said. "I have some personnel changes I'd like to make in the department. Some people have retired and there are some open positions I hope to fill with the best-qualified people. But, as for basic functions, I'd like to see things remain the same."
Staten and his wife of 20 years, Christine, live in Sharon Township with their two children, Morgan, 15, and Scott, 14.
Sellars could not be reached for comment.

Many journalists have been convicted of the same speech crimes that presidential contender Victoire Ingabire is accused of: disagreeing with Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his regime, also known as "divisionism," and disagreeing with the constitutionally codified history of the Rwanda Genocide, known as "genocide ideology."
October 24, 2010
Rwandan President Kagame denied the accusations in the new U.N. report, most of all the accusations of genocide, and then responded by arresting Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, the second of three opposition presidential candidates to be jailed since attempting to contest this year's presidential election against Kagame.
September 9, 2010
An explosive 545-page U.N. report leaked by the French newspaper Le Monde accuses the Rwandan Patriotic Army of Rwandan President and General Paul Kagame of the massacres of Rwandan Hutu refugees and Congolese Hutus in what some are already calling "the Congo Genocide."
September 4, 2010
Before the recently leaked damning U.N. report, many believed the apex of Rwandan self-destruction was the 1994 genocide, but fresh investigations indicate the Rwanda Patriotic Front-led government also committed genocide against the Hutu in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
July 11, 2010
Presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire reported that her party's treasurer, Alice Muhirwa, mother of two, fainted in a Rwandan courtroom due to untreated torture wounds inflicted by the Rwandan police. The FDU reported that Rwandan police refused to take Ms. Muhirwa to a hospital to be treated for bleeding caused by boot kicks to the stomach.
May 23, 2010
Violence, repression and human rights abuse continues to increase as 2010 elections approach in the East African neighbor nations of Rwanda and Burundi, whose ethnicity, politics and conflicts are closely intertwined. This week Burundi ordered Human Rights Watch's researcher out of the country by June 5, after she published her report on political violence, "We'll Tie You Up and Shoot You."
May 23, 2010
Opposition presidential candidate Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza stood before a judge in Kigali, Rwanda, on April 22 after the Kagame government arrested and charged her with "associating with terrorists" and "genocide ideology," a crime unique to Rwanda which includes "divisionism" and "revisionism," meaning politics and/or attempting to revise the received history of the 1994 Rwanda Genocide.
April 27, 2010
On Monday, April 26, police detectives in Kigali, Rwanda, interrogated Didas Gasana, editor of the weekly African language newspaper Umuseso for eight hours. Gasana now fears extrajudicial abduction or a prison sentence of up to 25 years.
April 7, 2010
Today, 62 percent of the people packed into Rwanda's prisons have been charged or convicted of genocide-related crimes and some of the country's most admired leaders are being accused of the "genocide ideology" thought crime. Most prominent are Victoire Ingabire, Kagame's strongest competitor for the presidency, and Paul Rusesabagina, the hero portrayed in the film "Hotel Rwanda," who is charged with "Double Genocide Theory."

Wild Nothing : Nocturne
One would've been forgiven for writing off Jack Tatum – the man behind dream-pop outfit Wild Nothing – after his much-buzzed-about debut Gemini. Though the soundscapes he created were at the best of times untouchable, the then-21-year-old university student was indeed punching out of his weight class.
The endless supply of internet-generated acclaim (re: hipsters wetting their coloured jeans) had expectations for his follow-up almost impossible to live up to. And while Nocturne isn't the most striking of departures in terms of sonics, Tatum has given weight to his songs subtle nuances, producing a stirring follow-up. It may not generate the same amount of hype, though that's no fault of the record itself.
Held against Gemini, Nocturne is a profoundly mature release, curling miraculously delicate synth-driven melodies around precise guitar-work, both acoustic and otherwise. It's all complemented by Tatum's charmingly playful vocals and his ability to make obsessive lyrics sound all too engaging.
Only Heather moves with a fluid determination, Shadow produces a melancholic hook that would entice even the most staunch fans of The Cure, and Paradise blurs the lines between an '80s-sounding, soundtrack-worthy dreamer and an engrossing modern indie classic.
A work as ambitious as Nocturne certainly runs the risk of stretching itself too thin. But instead, its ambition is its greatest asset. Tatum has realised he might not get too many more opportunities to showcase his ear for finely-composed pop classics. What he delivers may only indeed be a taste of things to come.

Albany- More than 20 million people in America are the victims of violent crime every year. For the victims and their families, the healing process can take a lifetime.
Thursday, as part of National Crime Victims Rights Week, Dougherty County remembered and honored some victims of violent crime, in hopes of easing their lasting pain.
During this time, Dougherty County law enforcement honor the victims and their families that bravely report crimes, take the stand, and confront their attackers, to bring the assailants to justice. For one Dougherty County mother, this battle for justice continues.
"My daughter's name was Tiffany Lashawn Hill Smith. She was murdered in her sleep by her husband." A happy wedding photo no longer brings back happy memories for Nettie Hill Wilson. Her son-in-law, Tavaris Smith, is accused of murdering her 27 year-old daughter Tiffany last June in their Macon home.
"I just miss her being here, just being around me. That's what I miss the most." Around her neck, Wilson wears Tiffany's picture-- and plea to angels. "Angels East and West, North and South, do your best. Watch over her while she rest."
A ribbon is Tiffany's honor was one a many placed on this wreath at Dougherty County Victim's Rights Week ceremony. "I pin this ribbon on behalf of all the victim's of crimes across America," Wilson said.
Blue and white ribbons surrounded Tiffany's, all in memory of victims a violent crimes. "It makes me feel good to know people care," said her mother.
For Wilson, the healing continues as her son-in-law awaits trial for her daughter's murder. The first trial ended with a mistrial. "There's no closure. We're still waiting to see what is going to happen. It just doesn't seem fair. I know you have to be patient and wait on the Lord."
Wilson, other victims, and their families were joined at the ceremony by the advocates, counselors, and law enforcement that do their best to help the victims find strength to report their crimes and bring their attackers to justice.
So they can find closure and hope for a better tomorrow.
Tavaris Smith's re-trial is set May 2nd. Nettie Wilson is now raising her daughter two sons-- proof that violent crime the lives of more than just the victim.

Session 4
by, 09-26-2009 at 06:48 PM (707 Views)
In the morning, the party met a watchman who escorted them to the garrison. There they met some chair-ridden aristocrats, one standing, and constanble Witherby, playing with his falcon. The aristocrats offered to let the party turn itself in for armed mayhem, or to meet on the country road for a duel of honor. After lots of debate, the party chose duel of honor.
Asher met a hoarse-voiced watchman, who explained that the dragon cult would be willing to consider allowing the party membership, considering their respectable magical abilities. The watchman said that he would arrange a meeting at midnight at the top of the halfling bluffs in six days (Tuesday). That night, Silas lots some points with Paul, because Paul had to remind him of his duty to perform the Long Prayer.
With great fortitude, Silas endured the sixth night of the Long Prayer. That day he met his friend Venil, who happened to be in town working security for a river shipment, at the inn, and quickly recruited him for security at the duel. The party left to meet the nobles on the highway, one mile from the village. Phaux and Ex got a head start, and met the party when it arrived, shortly after the aristocrats' party did. From the first wagon unloaded two halflings, two soldiers, three nobles, and a priest of Olidammara. After some nervous tension about weapons (there were many), Silas cast a spell on himself, the aristocrats declared an ambush, and the duel became a melee. The aristocrats were cut down in short order, Venil took some bloody hits, and it was a fairly fast fight. A halfling escaped that Ex tracked down and killed, and Venil chased down a soldier into the farmland, wrestling him down and the cutting his gizzard.
After finding jeweled daggers on the nobles, some gold (and some things Asher found), another debate began, hastened by the approach of a wagon from Featherwood. Asher met the travelers and explained that an ambush had taken place, and that the travelers should wait until the scene was cleared. They continued anyway, surveying the strange scene of different priests, a gnome (in nature-garb), dead nobles (bandits?), and a blood-spattered warrior. So they hustled the horses away as fast as possible. Debate ensued, ending with Hubert taking the loaner wagon toward Karlston, some fencing and crops placed over the dead to help them burn, and the rest of the party taking the nobles' wagon to catch up with Hubert.
After nightfall, the bulk of the party met Hubert, camping at a Farlanghghghg altar. They set up a watch schedule, and tried to sleep after hearing some very insistent wolf-howls in the distance.
Asher - 275
Hubert - 300
Phaux - 275
Silas - 300
Venil - 275
The differences are pretty much a roleplaying bonus - the clerics seemed to have the most character this time. If I missed something that was XP worthy, please remind me.
In addition to voting for MVP, feel free to add reflections on the session, since my posting is basically a quick outline. Also, it helps to know what the players are planning for next session, so add that (as long as you have something to plan).

Building the 9-11 Mosque will not breed tolerance
Can you imagine back in 1950 if there had been an effort by Japanese-Americans to build a Shinto center honoring Emperor Hirohito just two blocks from Pearl Harbor? Furthermore, imagine that the building was planned to open on December 7, 1951 just in time to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of this cataclysmic attack. Faster than you can say "Tora Tora Tora," one can hardly contemplate the absurdity of such a plan.

Diner Reviews
The brunch was overpriced and the
food was bland and not hot. We had an early reservation around 10 AM, so we were quite surprised at the slow staff and disappointing food selection."
Dined on 6/15/2014
The price for brunch was $50.00
which was somewhat pricey. There were a few excellent items on the brunch especially the jumbo shrimp and the smoked salmon. The ham was perfectly cooked too. On the negative side the leg of lamb was stringy and barely edible. I am not a fair judge of desserts as I don't eat them. The eggs Benidect were pathetic. I ordered two mimosas (expensive at $10.00) which were delicious. We had the oldest waiter working ( who doubled as the bartender). He did a yeoman's job handling at least five tables and all the drinks for the entire brunch."

We came for Easter Brunch with two
grandchildren, 7 & 5 y/o. There were eight of us. The attention that our group received from the staff despite the fact that this is a buffett affair was outstanding, friendly and much appreciated. The food was well prepared, there was variety and it was just right for a family gathering. It would not be a meal for gourmet food enthusiasts, with many new unfamiliar dishes, but that is not what we came for and the children certainly would have been uhappy. They thank you for the waffles and great deserts. We have celebrated birthdays at the Westin and will most probably come again as long as we live in this area."

Service was decent. Food was
tasty, but all dishes came out cold after a long wait."
Dined on 2/15/2014
A gift certificate brought us to
the restaurant for a dinner with friends. We enjoyed the evening and the food and service were quite good. We thought the prices especially for drinks were a bit too high and would probably only return to the restaurant if we obtained another gift certificate."
Dined on 1/14/2014
This hotel restaurant charges a
lot of money for very mediocre to bad food. we ordered the fried calamari and it was so greasy, rubbery and not crunchy we sent it back. Everything we ordered was way overpriced and mediocre at best. You would think an 18 dollar cheeseburger would be the best you've ever tasted.My partner ordered the chicken($23) and it was bland, He said he has had better for 10 dollars at the 99 restaurants...There is no ambiance in this place. I think it was an open space near the lobby that they decided to make into a restaurant. Boring and noisy because it is attached to the lobby."
Dined on 1/6/2014
We were very disappointed in the
brunch at the Westin. The Westin did not have a bartender on duty so no Bloody Mary or Mimosa to enjoy with our brunch so they should not advertise as a brunch just as breakfast. Our service was very slow and the whole experience was very disappointing. We would not return."

Pros....nice hotel....servers were
friendly....good options on the menu....my husband thought his steak was delicious! Cons.....Food was luke warm....fish was---fishy!....Lights were too bright....felt like I was in a daycare with the running and crying children nearby....no music just noise from the lobby."
Dined on 12/21/2013
Great place to eat with excellent
waiters and staff"
Dined on 12/16/2013
I sometimes need to go there for
business lunch. Considering the hotel grade, they still need to improve this in-house restaurant."
Dined on 10/19/2013
This restaurant has a lot of
potential but it has to really try harder. The food was inconsistent but adequate. Some of it was very good and some was just OK. My salmon was under-seasoned an had no crust, yet our appetizers were very good, as were the drinks. This was a Sunday night and they were severely understaffed. Our waitress disappeared for long stretches and half the time we were served (and our drink orders were taken) by the hostess (who was excellent, good attitude and very attentive given what she was covering for)..."
Dined on 9/15/2013
The potstickers came out cold and
the dipping sauce for the calamari was too heavy. The shortribs were great!"
Dined on 8/11/2013
We made a reservation here for 715
on a Saturday night for our anniversary, no need...the place was absolutely dead. We knew going into it that it was overpriced but we had a 20% off coupon for being a Starwood preferred guest so we thought "why not?" We sat down and it took our server about 5 minutes to even notice us. Bad start. The Caesar salad was delicious, but the rest of the food was pretty mediocre. I got the steak frites, medium rare, and it came out closer to medium well, my boyfriend got the green tea lacquered salmon, no hint of green tea. We didn't get a dessert, mainly because our server, Sarah, was awful and had absolutely no personality. Just all around a pretty bad experience."
Dined on 8/10/2013
It's a restaurant in a hotel, and
most of the customers looked like they were on a business trip other than us. It was nice and quiet. We ordered Beefsteak tomato and fresh mozzarella with arugula to start, and it was well dressed. Our main course were Steak Frites, and they were well seasoned, juicy and tender. The fries were pretty good, too. Overall the food were good, and service was courteous."
Dined on 8/8/2013
Food was ok, service also ok. Jazz
music was very nice but very loud. So if you are planning to have a conversation with your party it's not going to happen."
Dined on 8/4/2013
The chef is very talented. Our
server, Helen, was friendly and offered several excellent t menu suggestions. And the manager visited once during, then again after the meal to make sure everything was satisfactory. A+++ - next time, we will try the patio."
Dined on 7/20/2013
Average hotel weekday breakfast
buffet - not a Sunday brunch. Cold scrambled eggs and lackluster side with a real piano player do not make this a Sunday brunch. Yes they had a good omelet cook and a friendly staff but not what it used to be."
Dined on 4/21/2013
Would not go back again. My
boyfriend are always interested in trying new places, and we're open to trying hotel restaurants. For restaurant week in March this year, 2013, we decided to stay in Waltham. There were only 3 options in Waltham and we've tried the other two, why not try Seventy@Third. Sounded cool before we realized it was a hotel restaurant. The service was extremely slow, and there were a max of 5 tables with patrons. The food was ok, nothing to write home about. The ambiance and view was very nice, we were freezing at the table we wer seated at. Overall, good experience to remind us we don't like hotel restaurants."
Dined on 3/29/2013
Food was good. Service was
excellent and quick for a lunch meeting."
Dined on 3/26/2013
Have been wanting to try their
Sunday brunch for a while and finally went last Sunday. Food was good, although selection was limited for the price. 20 minutes away in Westford, the Westford Regency has a much better value and selection for Sunday brunch."
Dined on 3/17/2013
Fine dining, modern with no wait.
staff was courteous and professional, excellent food @ reasonable price for the ambiance and quality."
Dined on 3/16/2013
The Food was not very good,
especially for what you are paying. The service was good though. Glad I had a coupon."
Dined on 1/24/2013
I was there for breakfast. The
food on the buffet was just OK. Omelet was very good. Not really close to being worth thirty dollars per person."
Dined on 11/19/2012
I just love it here. It is never
busy on a Saturday night if the hotel guest are not there so I like that The food is pretty good and because it isn't busy you can have a nice leisurely meal."
Dined on 9/8/2012
In my Open Table reservation, I
had requested a table with a view that was also in a quiet area, because I was bringing a friend to the restaurant for the first time and wanted to be able to converse and to impress her. The staff came through with flying colors. Our table was off to the side, and my friend's chair faced the lovely view across the reservoir, right by the window. We had a really great time catching up and an elegant environment. Thanks!"
Dined on 9/7/2012
Just awful. Food was terrible,
Place was completely empty. They should shut it down and only hold corporate events or weddings not operate a restaurant."
Dined on 9/6/2012
I will never go back. over priced
hotel food. I should have known when there were no other guests in what looked like a very large dining area."
Dined on 7/2/2012
The food was expensive, small, and
not of good quality. I had better food at IKEA! The view is nice, and the wait staff was very nice."
Dined on 6/12/2012
We had a reservation for 7 pm on a
Saturday night--usually a very busk time. We were one of two tables in this very large restaurant--deathly quiet except for a group apparently celebrating a bar mitzvah in the nearby bar. Pity--menu selection small but food very good, service attentive, good view from the windows and patio (rare in Waltham!); drinks, including beer, wildly overpriced. If you go here, order a drink somewhere else before you go!"
Dined on 6/9/2012
We chose a table outside,
beautiful view of sunset. Our waitress wasn't very knowledgealbe but polite. I ordered salmon with shiitake mushrooms and it was on a dry side. My husband had aged sirloin steak and it was prepeared right to order but lacked seasoning. So we had a good time , great view- you can see lake from there but food was just ok."
Dined on 5/19/2012
Overall a good meal, went for
restaurant week since the menu looking interesting. Great flavor combinations but the fish was a bit dry. Good service and wine selection, but ambiance was a little strange since you are right by the hotel entrance."
Dined on 3/22/2012
Got zero attention when I got
there. Decided to take a table myself. No attention to details at all even though there were only 3 tables occupied. First and last time there... a shame, well located for business...."
Dined on 2/13/2012
We had dinner on Saturday night
with almost no one in the restaurant. Since this is a business hotel, that is expected on a weekend. The food was good to very good but a little expensive for the quality. Although the room is set up for a good view of the area, in the evening the reflection of the interior lights prevent that. During the day it would be much better Service was good."
Dined on 2/4/2012
Went there on Christmas day as we
scrambled to find a place open. Our 1pm reservation ended up being for the buffet brunch whick shut down at 1pm. Fortunately we arrived at 12:45 and were able to get a plate of breakfast brunch for $25.00 per. Staff was clueless on the reseervation and offered no alternative for dining after brunch."
Dined on 12/25/2011
This was my first time at this
restaurant and I love it. I had their steak and was pleasantly surprised that it was seasoned- so many places don't season their steak which is shame because with a little seasoning steak is so much better. Wait staff was super nice and very around the way friendly"
Dined on 8/23/2011
After two tries, we're done.
Service was horrible. It wasn't the servers' fault, but an interminable wait for food from the kitchen, both times! Many others walked out, be we stuck it out because at least our servers were kind and apologetic. I'm usually willing to overlook long waits, especially if the house takes care of us (which they did on our first occasion), but each time we waited over an hour from being seated to getting our entrees. Twice. Sorry, we won't be back."
Dined on 8/20/2011
We went for Restaurant Week, so
the menu was limited, but what we had was fantastic!! The desserts were amazing!"
Dined on 8/19/2011
Very good but not really
exceptional for the price."
Dined on 8/18/2011
We went because of a Groupon. The
food was quite a bit better than expected, but the good news stops there. There was ZERO atmosphere. The lights were way too bright for a Saturday night. We were seated by the breakfast buffet setup; I was looking in the direction of tiny boxes of breakfast cereal. Because it was a slow night, staff was putting out little jars of jelly on the other tables. Meantime, a few tables away, a little girl in her underwear and no shoes was running around. (A stark reminder that we were in a hotel lobby. To top it off, they're charging Boston prices: $16.50 burger, $31 schrod. Bad call. We won't be back."
Dined on 3/12/2011
Hostess was nowhere to be found,
simulate to valet attendant on the way out, but waitress was excellent and handled k ids with skill. Wine list was limited. Menu was interesting and my burger was tasty. Food all around was good, but nothing spectacular which did not match the cost. At the end of the day don't visit a hotel for dinner if you don't have to."

Authorities had to shut down Interstate 20 Wednesday evening for about a half mile to the I-49 interchange as they worked to clear an accident on the Spring Street ramp in downtown Shreveport.
The wreck involved two pickup trucks and two tractor-trailer rigs, a Shreveport Police spokesman says. No one suffered a significant injury.
Authorities say they got the call about 9 p.m. at the intersection of Spring Street just off the Interstate 20 exit. At least one lane on Spring Street had been closed.
But the resulting major traffic tie-up leading off the ramp forced authorities to divert eastbound traffic starting at I-49.
A fire dispatcher says five units have reported to the scene.

A Glass Of Wine
'What's in a glass of wine?'
There, set the glass where I can look within.
Now listen to me, friend, while I begin
And tell you what I see-
What I behold with my far-reaching eyes,
And what I know to be
Below the laughing bubbles that arise
Within this glass of wine.
There is a little spirit, night and day,
That cries one word, for ever and alway:
That single word is 'More!'
And whoso drinks a glass of wine, drinks him:
You fill the goblet full unto the brim,
And strive to silence him.
Glass after glass you drain to quench his thirst,
Each glass contains a spirit like the first;
And all their voices cry
Until they shriek and clamor, howl and rave,
And shout 'More!' noisily,
Till welcome death prepares the drunkard's grave,
And stills the imps that rave.
That see I in the wine:
And tears so many that I cannot guess;
And all these drops are labelled with 'Distress.'
I know you cannot see.
And at the bottom are the dregs of shame:
Oh! it is plain to me.
And there are woes too terrible to name:
Now drink your glass of wine.
