Mark S. Klempner, MD, is the Executive Vice Chancellor for MassBiologics of the University of Massachusetts Medical School, where he is professor of medicine. Dr. Klempner joined UMMS in July 1, 2012, from the Boston University School of Medicine, where he served as Associate Provost for Research, Conrad Wesselhoeft Professor of Medicine and the founding director of the National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories (NEIDL).
Dr. Klempner is an internationally known figure at the intersection of basic infectious disease research and the development of therapeutics and vaccines to combat infections. Dr. Klempner discovered that inflammatory cells secrete & respond to proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1 and TNF) releasing reactive oxygen species & lysosomal contents. These observations have formed the basis for effective anti-cytokine treatments for inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. He engineered the first "reporter pathogens" demonstrating that intracellular changes were crucial to the pathogenesis of staphylococcal and plague infections & discovered the essential role of host plasminogen for transmission of the Lyme disease spirochete. Each of these discoveries have been coupled to translational clinical research including demonstration that lysosomotropic antibiotics eradicate intracellular staphylococci and reduce carriage of staph as well as the recurrence of staphylococcal skin and soft tissue infections. His clinical research on Lyme disease includes the pivotal treatment studies for post treatment chronic Lyme disease and trials of the Lyme vaccine. His research experience formed the basis for successful design and scientific program development for the NIH funded high containment NEIDL.
Dr. Klempner's research interests include the molecular pathogenesis of Lyme disease, prevention and treatment of Lyme disease, strategies to interrupt transmission of vector transmitted infectious diseases, immune based prevention and treatment of hemorrhagic fever virus infectious diseases, bacterial antibiotic resistance and the role of bacterial subpopulations in hetero-resistance and the development of human monoclonal antibodies for the prevention and treatment of human diseases.
A graduate of the Cornell University Medical College, Dr. Klempner trained at the Massachusetts General Hospital and the Laboratory of Clinical Investigation at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the National Naval Medical Center. He has held national leadership positions including the American Board of Internal Medicine Chair of the Infectious Diseases Board and member of the Board of Directors, President of the Association of Subspecialty Professors member of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education, the MA Governor's Life Sciences Advisory Board, the Board of Scientific Counselors for the NIH Clinical Center. For over a decade he served as Associate Editor of the New England Journal of Medicine, selecting and refining the infectious diseases content of this leading clinical research journal.

text: Against the Rays on Monday, Daniel Bard finished with more walks than innings. That's the bad part. Here's the good part: through two starts, batters have attempted 91 swings against Bard. 32 of those swings – 35 percent – have missed. The league average would be closer to 20 percent. Bard's been a little bit wild, but also a little bit unhittable.

On the high school diamond, Pacelli took on Bonduel. And it was all offense, all game. In the top of the 6th Jake Feltz sent one to left and deep for a three run shot to put the Cardinals up eight. But in the bottom half, Derek Liebergen rips a liner to right to bring home two, cutting the Pacelli lead to seven. But it wouldn't be enough as Pacelli would win the shootout 14 to 9.
Pacelli softball also took on Bonduel. And the reigning state champs never faced much of a threat. In the bottom of the sixth, Kaylee Krostag recorded the strikeout to end a Bonduel rally. In the top of the seventh, Marisa Rice laid down a bunt to bring Cassondra Simonis in to score the eighth and final run. And Pacelli would go on to win 8 to 0.
In a WVC matchup, D.C. Everest took on Wausau East. In the top of the first, with the bases juiced, Emily Bruns poked one to center to bring a run home and put the Evergreens up two. In the same frame, Hailey Schulz snared a comebacker and threw to first to bring the Everest rally to a halt. But Everest wouldn't stop there. In the top of the second, Alayna Krejci drove a ball to the right field wall to bring home a run, netting her her second triple of the day. D.C. Everest would then go on to win 13-3 in 5 innings.

Kings & Corn is our infamous summer adventure: 5 days of skiing and fishing in the heart of the Alaskan wilderness with Chugach Powder Guides. Kings & Corn features the best of "The Last Frontier" including King Salmon and Trout fishing, corn snow heli-skiing and snowboarding, and whitewater rafting in one helicopter supported trip. It is rapidly becoming known as one of the most spectacular and sought-after heli-ski and King Salmon fishing locations in the world. For anyone who like to ski and fish, this is as good as it gets!
Location & Terrain
Winterlake Lodge is sits in the expansive Skwentna River system. To the East, Mt. McKinley towers at 20,320 feet, while to the South and West, the massive Tordrillo Mountains dominate the skyline. The surrounding terrain lays out massive glaciers and towering peaks that go on and on and on. The zone is humbling, but also remarkable and awe-inspiring. The ski terrain is vast and can accommodate all levels of skiers. By summertime, the snowpack has become isothermic and avalanches are not a concern, allowing guests to ski a huge variety of terrain from long cruisers to steep faces and tight chutes. The Tordrillo mountains feature some of the most dramatic couloirs in the world!
Temperatures in the Tordrillo Mountains from early June through early July can range from highs of 60-70 degrees during the day with cooler temperatures ranging 25-40 degrees at night. Weather in the Tordrillos is typically drier than coastal Alaska or the Chugach range in summer. As with any mountain climate, conditions can vary greatly from day to day. With nearly 24 hours of daylight we have the ultimate flexibility to wait unit conditions are optimal. Don't be surprised if you find us spooling up the helicopter after dinner!
Surrounding the dates of the Summer Solstice, our Kings and Corn package offers guests the opportunity to experience endless days of non-stop action. With mountain temperatures freezing during the night and warming during the day, June corn skiing in the Tordrillo Mountains is at its finest. Our trips are also scheduled to hit the peak of the King Salmon run, as well as prime whitewater rafting, hiking, and lakeside entertainment.

Migrating members from site with old Buddypress to newest
Hello: I suspect this has already been discussed. Any directions on where I can find the answers would be great.
I am trying to migrate some 100 members of a site running MU 18.104.22.168 and bp 1.1.2 to the very latest (bp 1.2.1). Instead of doing manual 1 member at the time migration, any easier process?
Thank you

Water is a precious resource and in places like Australia and the U.K., the onset of summer coincides with restrictions on water use – hosepipes for watering gardens are banned, and showers are recommended over baths. But even taking a shower uses a fair amount of water, which all ends up down the drain. The same goes for doing laundry. If only there was a way to combine the two into one unified unit.
There is, or at least there could be in the future. Four university students in Turkey have collectively designed Washit, a concept shower and washing machine combo that's capable of cleaning you and your clothes simultaneously.
Washit uses a closed-water plumbing system that collects the greywater from the shower outlet and stores it in a tank ready for washing laundry. Before the greywater reaches your clothes it passes through a series of three filters - carbon, organic, and chemical - to ensure your laundry doesn't emerge dirtier than when it went in to the machine. These filters can be removed for cleaning or replacement at any time.
The designers of Washit imagine the appliance will be used both in domestic and public settings. In a domestic setting the washing machine door is on the outside so that laundry can be deposited at any time. But in a public setting this would be switched around so that the door is on the inside. The user could then step in to the shower and remove their clothing in situ ready for washing. Washit can then dry the clothes ready for the user to put them back on before they leave the unit in the same outfit as they were wearing when they entered. Except both the user and their clothes would be clean and fresh.
The Washit concept won the Hansgrohe Prize 2012: Efficient Water Design at the iF Concept Design Awards, with the judges noting, "This is an interesting combination ... a clever solution: identical components, resource-saving, aesthetic appeal, hygienic." The students are now at the prototyping stage, and figuring out the best way to take Washit from concept to reality.
Why stop at clothing? I have better idea to add dish washing machine on the bottom part (optional use).
Or a full use. Water from sink and shower to refill toilet flush.
A closed system... which could effectively separate various particles of dirt, dust, shampoo, etc.. from the water itself would be good.
Urine would make an excellent addition for all of that since it can be easily recycled into clean water.
But... if water is such a problem... then why do we have generators (for decades) capable of extracting water from the atmosphere?
Seriously, I'm all for minimizing our impact and all (and this kind of an idea is great - a closed system which uses none or very minute quantities of outside water), but water is hardly scarce on this planet (potable, usable or otherwise) especially with the technology that is decades old.
Ask yourself - do we really need more new stuff? We have so many items, machines, gadgets right now that will all be waste tomorrow. When are industrial designers going to get it? Finite resources = no more after their gone resources. Its time to start re-using existing materials and stop mining the earth to build more low grade machines with in-built obsolescence. If water is scarce how about having a bath twice a week and wash your clothes in the water after. This would be considered a luxury in some 3rd world countries. Its time western society pulled its head in and stopped using up the planets resources on crap like this.
you recycle all that waste. Not enough research is being done to find ways to recycle our waste.Then the only issue becomes energy. You will only to need to seek out new resources due to population growth. If the population remains stable then they can simply recycle the waste (which consumes energy) and consume it again and continue that cycle so long as there is a constant supply of energy.
Recycling technology was perfected in the late 19th century when we gained the ability to recycle heavy metals.
It allowed us to basically disassemble matter (waste - practically any kind) into base elements and reconstitute it into something else (a new form of matter - such as highly advanced synthetic materials, tools, electronics, building materials, etc...) or convert them into alternative energy sources.
The problem is the monetary system which recycles about 10% (globally) or less... while the rest is being stored on the landfills.
Imagine the resources on those landfills.
We can easily create abundance for every person on the planet and industry several times over from landfills alone, and we'd still have leftovers to pick and choose what to do with (say, space stations, deep space probes propelled by the latest research in Warp theories, not to mention missions on Mars).
Extracting resources from the Earth is stupid - especially since we are using inefficient ones on which our societies 'depend' on.
We have the infrastructure, technology and resources to turn this around.
Switch over to recycling all the waste by turning it into abundant highly advanced synthetic materials... and we won't have a problem (even for a rising population - but population counts would eventually level off with education either way).

20 Tough Questions For the Fire Chief: Are You Prepared To Answer Them? Question 11

In many communities, the number of structure fires has been trending downward. The reduction in these fire responses can be attributed to many factors, not the least being effective fire prevention programs, active inspection programs and aggressive code enforcement – the proactive efforts many fire departments use to prevent the occurrence of fire.
While some may argue that better designs and detection and suppression systems have contributed to a reduction in fire responses, this is not accurate. While early detection and early suppression improve victim survivability and reduce fire losses, the fire department still responds.
The central question is: When does the number of fire responses become low enough to consider consolidating or contracting with another community for fire protection? The core issue of this inquiry may not be one of quantity. Rather, it may be one of quality. When looking to consolidate or contract with another community, the elected and appointed officials should first and foremost give consideration to what impact that will have on the level of service the residents and businesses receive post-contract or post-consolidation.
Assessing risks
Before evaluating the impact of contracting or consolidating, elected and appointed officials should first establish the acceptable level of service – or standards of coverage – for the community. While the number of fires may be declining, they are not being eliminated. It is important to keep in mind the residents or businesses that do have a fire are not going to be concerned with the downward trend in overall fire responses when their home or business is on fire. They are going to expect, and deserve, a prompt and effective response and resolution to their emergency.
Also, give some thought to who best will be able to provide service even when fire call volumes dip. Consideration should be given to the type and level of service provided to the community. Fire departments deliver a host of comprehensive services that are designed on an all-hazards approach. The services may include fire suppression, hazardous materials, technical rescue, emergency medical, community education, code enforcement and disaster preparedness/management. We are also called upon to provide first response to natural and manmade disasters as well as our newest threat; domestic and international terrorism. Once again, understanding community expectation of service as well as your internal benchmarking to demonstrate impacts when evaluating service changes. Thus, it all boils down to finances and risk management: How much risk a community is exposed to and how much money a community can afford to expend to reduce the level of risk exposure. Where funding is not a concern (and yes, there are a few pocketed areas around the country that seem to have been immune from the impact of the economic downturn), the elected and appointed officials may be comfortable with funding a fire department to a level that ensures a prompt and effective response to all emergency calls, even where the overall number of actual fires has been declining.
In communities where finances have been hard-hit, all services have been subject to review and tough decisions are at hand. For the fire department, that means asking: At what point does the combination of reduced fires and economic hardship compel a community to consolidate services or contract for services?
There is no formula for figuring this out. There are benchmarks that can be used for comparison (e.g., calls per resident, the cost of fire protection per capita and the incremental cost of a fire call response per capita). However, a word of caution is necessary here. Ratios and statistics are just one component to be used in the decision-making process and, arguably, may not be the best. For example, one community's cost-per-call may be $1,300 while the neighboring community's cost-per-call is only $700.

Holmen, WISCONSIN (WXOW) One of the premier high school gymnastics meets takes center stage Saturday at Holmen.
The Vikings will host the 42nd annual McLellan Invitational.
Thirteen teams will compete in two divisions in two separate meets.
Holmen figures to be the favorite to win the top division.
They took 4th at state last year in division 2.
Many of those athletes are back this year.
It's only early January and already they're hitting their stride.
"I love where my team is this year. They're full of surprises. They're putting up bigger scores than they were last year at this time, which is amazing considering the scoring system has changed this year. It makes getting a bigger score a lot harder. So they're ahead of where they were last year," said Holmen head coach Karen Kuhlmann.
"We've been progressing. Each meet we've gotten a high score. We've really been showing our skills and getting new ones. I'm really proud of them," said senior Emma Madsen who won the all-around competition at the last MVC Meet.
The morning session featuring some of the less experienced teams will start at 9:30.
The top-scoring teams will square off starting at 2 o'clock at Holmen High School.

LAST WEEK's EDITION
MEET THE G-CREW! These are the people behind this jam-band every week. AND there are GUIDELINES FOR YOU TO JOIN THE BAND...
After almost three years on the run, Hughes was arrested, along with Gerry Adams. They were tortured for over 12 hours in Springfield Road barracks and then Castlereagh before being flown to the cages of Long Kesh. Within 5 months Hughes had escaped from Long Kesh, crossed the border, and within 10 days was back in Belfast with a new identity, to assume command of the Belfast Brigade.
Captured again, 6 months later, he was sentenced to 15 years in prison on weapons, explosives and documents charges. Hughes, as Brigade O/C (Officer Commanding) was caught with what the press called a "Doomsday Plan" which was the IRA plan for the defense of the Nationalist community in Belfast.
While O/C of Republican prisoners in Long Kesh, Hughes was charged in connection with a prison riot and given an additional 5 years. However, at this time, the process of Ulsterization and criminalization had begun and he was taken from court to the infamous H-Blocks.
"That morning" said Hughes, "I left Long Kesh, Brendan Hughes, O/C Republican prisoners, recognized as a political prisoner and that afternoon, I was Hughes, 704, in the H-Blocks."
In the H-Blocks Brendan Hughes was instrumental in organizing the men on the blanket protest and was elected O/C with Bobby Sands as his adjutant. As the protests by the men escalated, without any movement by prison authorities or the Thatcher government to resolve the prisoners demands to end their inhumane treatment, he called for volunteers to join him in a hunger strike.
Hughes resigned as O/C, to be replaced by Bobby Sands and was joined by 6 of the 90 men who had volunteered to go on hunger strike. After 53 days without food, with Sean McKenna within hours of death and the others in very serious condition, the strike was called off as the government delivered a document which satisfied the prisoners demands.
After the government reneged on their agreement the strike led this time by Bobby Sands commenced with deadly consequences.
In our interview Hughes discussed a wide range of topics on the Irish political landscape.
G21: Share with us your opinions on the Good Friday Agreement.
HUGHES: The decision was taken from the top down, there were no discussions, there was nothing taking place.
What we heard was, 'The Hume/Adams Document' and I am very annoyed at this because, I have spent my whole life in this Republican movement and all of a sudden everyone is talking about 'The Hume Adams Document' and I asked if I could see it . To my knowledge no one has ever seen it.
I thought it was a disgrace that John Hume knew where this movement was going [and] I didn't know where it was going. I didn't know anything about 'The Hume Adams Document', what the hell is it? Then, 'The Hume Adams Document', developed into the 'Good Friday Agreement'.
What was the Good Friday Agreement all about? All of my life I spent attempting to bring down Stormont, attempting to remove the British from Ireland and all of a sudden, all of that language was gone. We no longer talk about a British declaration of intent to withdraw from this country and we have got to the stage where we were actually fighting to get down to the Stormont, that we just spent 30 years trying to bring down. The loyalty factor eventually burnt out with me, the loyalty factor was no longer there.
G21: So what is your opinion of the Sinn Féin leadership?
HUGHES: Stormont is OK as long as we're in it. What was developing here was a sort of a class thing within the Republican movement. You had the "Armani Suit Brigade" and a lot of these people I had never come across before. I had never spent time in prison with them and their politics drifted away from me -- their politics -- I didn't drift away from my politics, their politics drifted away from me to a stage where I believed I needed to say something, because these people are running away with my movement.
The suffering and everything that we represented was no longer there anymore and these people had it, they were wining and dining at Stormont.
I believe very shortly, we will be wining and dining in Westminster. I believe that they have run away with the politics, the real politics of the Republican movement, the Republican struggle, and I believe that they have to be resisted. Which I am doing.
It wasn't easy for me to go public and criticize all these things that were going on, but I feel a moral responsibility to do so. Even though it puts me on the fringe and I am called a dissident and other names. But I know damn well, that what I am saying, is representative of the ordinary people on the ground. The Republican Movement
I believe this Republican movement belongs to the people. I don't believe that people like me should walk away and form another small group to oppose this group. This group is the Republican movement. We have fought, we have gone through an awful lot of struggle and I believe it has been hijacked by a handful of people who have gone in a particular direction that I disagree with.
But it is my movement. I don't want to form another movement, I want my movement back to what we fought for.
I don't believe that it is totally hopeless. I believe it can be won back. If I thought it was hopeless, I would probably leave the country. I believe that I have a moral responsibility and a duty to carry on the struggle. It's not easy, a lot of the people I am talking about are comrades and friends of mine. I wish they could change and turn this thing around and bring it back to the people. Bring the movement back to the people. Not a political party that's running to Stormont, running to Westminster with their Armani suits on and jutting about in their State cars. The same regime that's been oppressing us for so many years, they have become a part of.
G21: So what's your position on decommissioning?
HUGHES: The IRA has been asked to decommission. We were all told that there would be no decommissioning. When you bring a stranger to a dump, an IRA dump, and point out where that dump is, to me that is decommissioning.
I certainly would not go near that dump again, so that dump is, by and large, decommissioned. Forget about it. It has been identified.
Yet I am told there will be no decommissioning.
To me that is decommissioning.
People are telling lies. We are doing everything we were told would not happen. We still hear at some commemorations people getting up on platforms and telling blatant lies. 'The war is not over'. By and large, the war is over. The current joke in the town at the moment is:
Q. 'What is the difference between a Sticky (Official IRA) and a Provie (Provisional IRA).
A. Twenty years.'
The only difference is that the Stickies didn't have to decommission.
G21: The controversy about the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) still rages. What are your thoughts?
HUGHES: What I was beginning to see was the reintroduction of a different type of philosophy. The words they were using 'the RUC has to be changed' no longer 'disbanded.'
G21: Your feelings on commemorating the 20th anniversary of the Hunger Strike?
HUGHES: Anyone who is going out to commemorate the Republican struggle should commemorate the people who died in the struggle. It should be about respect and to commemorate the sacrifice that these people made. I believe the party of the working class is entitled to commemorate the working-class people who died.
I believe a party of the Middle or Upper-class should not be allowed to capitalize on those people's deaths. Those people died for working-class issues and I believe that the only people who should be allowed to capitalize on that are working-class people who are fighting for working-class issues. I don't believe the leadership of the Republican movement, at present, is fighting for working-class issues or fighting for the issues that these people died for.
G21: So it sounds like you might be accused of advocating armed struggle.
HUGHES: We are sitting in Divis Towers now and there is Ł10 million of equipment on top of this roof, there are armed British troops on top of this roof.
As long as there is one British soldier on this roof, I believe that people have a right to oppose that. Unfortunately, the occupation forces are still here and unfortunately, the leadership of the movement that I belonged to have become a part of that, they have become a part of the problem."

Time to reveal who the black tribe, Tempura, voted out. Sierra gets the first two votes, the second, of course, from Douche. The first one came from the Other Blonde in the tribe, who says Sierra just looked really hot on the way over. Sierra opens her mouth in surprise or maybe she's just trying to make extra room to accommodate her increasingly swollen tonsils. Before the voting is even over, she decides to reveal her Shocking Secret of having strep throat. For some reason, Taj drops her jaw in surprise at this. Maybe she, like me, is wondering how Sierra could be so stupid as to reveal something like that that is sure to get her kicked out in three days if she isn't voted out now. Or maybe Taj made out with Sierra on the plane ride over and is now concerned about getting the strep herself. She'd better not! SWV has re-formed, and we need Taj's throat in fine working order. Erinn also votes for Sierra, and like Spencer, she already knows Sierra's name. The next vote is for Erinn. Ha ha! Candace's vote is for "blonde girl with jeans and striped shirt," which she says while pointing at Sierra as if there was any doubt. I hope Candace continues to vote like this in the Tribal Councils. Jerry's vote is also for Sierra, so that's it for her. She looks like she's about to cry as she makes her way to Probst. She's more diplomatic than Sandy, saying she had a lot to bring to the team. Then she says she has a 102 degree fever, so not really. Surely, they're all standing there right now thinking "we are so golden to get rid of the girl with the fever who can't do anything and who could have gotten us all sick, too." Guess she didn't do such a great job of hiding her sickness after all, since almost everyone voted for her even though there's a ponytailed douchebag they could have gotten rid of first.
Probst tells Sandy and Sierra not to feel too bad just yet, since when he said the person voted out would not take part in this adventure, he did not mean the adventure of Survivor -- he meant the adventure of the shitty four-hour hike. Yay! That means Sandy's still in it to win it! She and Sierra will get to camp via a helicopter. "Thank you, god!" Sandy says. Might want to tone down the happiness at your tribemate's expense there, Sandy. While the Faux Pas Trumpets play, Probst reminds her that this is a social game, and her tribe clearly hates her and will only resent her more when they're carrying all of the supplies for the next four hours. She'll have a lot of work to do in the next three days. Sierra isn't smiling, probably because she was a little bit relieved to be out of this game and allowed to suffer through her illness in a nice warm comfy bed. With that, Probst sends the contestants off. He insists on calling the helicopter a "bird," which is lame. By the way, isn't it just a little bit unfair that we didn't get to see how all of the contestants voted? That kind of gives them an advantage, since they don't have to give away who in their tribe they'd get rid of first and thus have been spared the wrath of that person.

Hurricane Relief Efforts
ANY THANKS TO all the Temple members who have donated so generously to our Hurricane Sandy relief efforts! Deliveries of needed items were made to Staten Island, Red Hook, the Rockaways and the Lower East Side. On November 18, we made a great difference in the recovery of the Rockaways.
Please note that at this time we no longer can accept any donations of goods. Your extreme
generosity has been
appreciated greatly.
Consider the following:
GIVE BLOOD. The New York Blood Center says it was in need of blood even before the storm, but the storm has made the need greater. Five locations currently are open: Midtown at 601 Lexington Ave. (the Citigroup building), Upper East Side (67th Street between First and Second avenues), Elmsford Center in Westchester County, and the East Fishkill and Kingston centers, both located in the Hudson Valley.
DONATE YOUR TIME. There is great need for hands-on volunteering at this time, should your schedule allow. You can sign up at NYC Service to bring food and supplies to Coney Island, Red Hook, the Rockaways and other neighborhoods that were damaged heavily, some of which are still without power. The UJA-Federation of New York also is coordinating relief efforts, particularly for visiting and bringing supplies to home-bound seniors.

The Southwest
Georgia Reentry Coalition wants to help probationers transition back into the
real world.
To help with
that initiative, they hosted a stakeholder meeting at Darton College with
representatives from the Governor's Office of Transition, Support and Reentry.
Representatives talked with Service Providers and Faith Based Organizations on
how to help every returning citizen be successful when they come out of prison.
"It's exciting
to see those faith based organizations and those community service providers
that are interested in partnering with us to create a safer community be
reducing the number of crimes and reducing the number of victims and seeing them that excited about being
involved in it," said Jay Neal.
The Transition, Support
and Reentry is the third phase of the Governor Criminal Justice Reform.

A Mexican man who has fought for the
rights of migrant farmworkers in Vermont won't be deported-- at least for now.
Danilo Lopez, 23, is a farmhand-turned
activist. He was among a group who lobbied the Legislature to create a new type
of driver's license that would be available to people in the U.S. without the
legally required documentation.
Just after that law was passed, Lopez
was notified he was being deported and had to leave the country by July.
But now the Migrant Justice group says
Lopez been granted a "stay of removal," meaning he can remain in the
U.S. for at least another year. Lopez, through his interpreter, called the
decision a victory for the entire migrant farm community and says this campaign
proves public pressure works.
"Even when we're told
no, if we keep fighting and keep working we can stop this, we can stop a
deportation. But working together we can also unite across the country to stop
more and more deportations, but also to work for a better bigger policy change
that stops all of these unnecessary deportations and separations of families,"
said Brendan O'Neill of Migrant Justice.
Lopez said he plans to
apply for a work visa and continue his advocacy mission with Migrant Justice.
The advocacy group estimates there are 1,200-1,500 migrant workers in Vermont.

1)2nd quarter, against a top 5 team on the road...Josh Freeman drops back, (again)sees no one open, & runs towards the endzone...@ 5 yards, knowing he's achieved the 1st down & facing two tacklers, he slides. Um. What?!? You're 6-6, 248 lbs, & the world is against you today...you SLIDE?!? I *love* Josh Freeman, but I really, really wonder now, & I hope to god it's pointed out in film study this week. I'm not saying he's not tough, or smart, or anything---it was just damn curious, & I hope he learns from it.
Yes, btw, we only scored a field goal on that drive.
2)The big debate 3 years ago was---"Do the Bucs trade the no. 4 pick, plus the 2 second rounders for Calvin Johnson @ no. 2?" It seemed Mr. Gruden was enamoured with Megatron, but alas, Bruce Allen overruled it, thinking 3 good players is better than one great player. Sound reasoning.
Problem is, Gaines Adams, Arron Sears, & Sabby Piscetelli all proved to NOT really be football players, but great athletes who happened to play football. When you jump from college to pros, to me that's the key distinction to make as a personnel evaluator---Do these guys almost *enjoy* the punishment & the insane competition on the field---in college, you can skate through...not so in the pros.
Gaines was a super nice guy who was simply a great athlete, & I had my worries. Sears seemed to be a good pick, but I wonder about guys moving from tackle to guard(just like Davin Joseph, who *still* is just "good", not great, imo)---tackle is dancing, finesse, athleticism---guard is brute force, a grunt mentality.
& Sabby Piscetelli? Not to be so "poetic" about it---but did anyone, other than Bruce Allen, think a "Sabby Piscetelli" was going to a be a star? See, now John Lynch or Warren Sapp had a chance---those are superstar names ;o)
But 'ol Sabs was a super athlete masquerading as a football player. & a real personnel chief would know the difference.
Thank you Mark Dominik...

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - An auction for 40 acres of land in the Black Hills has been declared a "no sale" after the man who made the winning bid realized he was bidding per acre - not for the whole parcel as he had thought.21-year-old Matthew Astin, of Hermosa, bid $2,550 during the Thursday morning auction for 40 acres of land west of Deerfield. Astin realized shortly after the auctioneer yelled sold that the bid was per acre, and he could not afford to pay the 20 percent earnest money due immediately, or the $102,000 he had actually bid for the property.
County Auditor Julie Pearson announced the auction would be considered a "no sale" and would be rescheduled by county commissioners.

When consideruing classical FRW I was talking about classical GR; it shows that even classical "flat spacetime + small oscillations" does not work for all classes of solutions of GR. It's the same with strings: they find a huge number of classes of "classical solutions" and consider small oscillations for each class. The big difference is that for different "classical solutions" one has to consider different oscillations, i.e. the particle content is different.
It's hard to compare ST and LQG here.
ST always uses these "classical solutions" and constructs a quantum theory on top of them. So for each class you get a quantum theory, but in a sense you don't have the big picture, i.e. no unique quantum theory (string theory) describing all these classes at once.
In LQG it's exactly the other way round. They claim to have a unique quantum theory of gravity (w/o particle physics) w/o the need to introduce these classes. But at the samepoint this is the weak point of LQG b/c they are not able to derive the classical solutions, i.e. they don't have a way to extract the classical physics with different spacetimes we know from GR (there are only very restricted models or methods from which they get rather specific spacetimes).

It seems like all the time when I see quarterbacks ranked these days, Cam Newton is always top 10. I know he had a great rookie season but still its only one season and even then it wasn't as good as the rest of the top-10 quarterbacks. And on that note since when does one season determine someone being a top tier player?
According to this list on NFL.com. The rankings are as follows in order from 1-10:
E. Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, Brees, Rodgers, P. Manning, Newton, Rivers, Ryan, Vick.
Now first off I think this is a very poor list from the get go, Eli was a player who was sitting around 10th on most lists and is now put at number 1? Really? You'd imagine a player who carries his team single handed to the playoffs every year would be higher then Eli (Peyton anyone? Brady? Brees? Rodgers?) regardless the focus is Cam Newton and I'll keep to that for the most part.Ok going back to the terrible-mess of a list for one second, how the hell does one average game by Rodgers keep him at number 5? Like honestly who the hell writes this stuff? And when was winning Super Bowls amount for the ability of a QB? I'm fairly sure you have a squad of 55 who all need to help out to make it there. The QB is just one guy.
ANYWAY, Cam. So like I appreciate he threw for just over 4,000 yards, 21 TD's and ran for a bunch more. But he also tossed 17 interceptions and brought his team to a 6-10 record. What other player could win less then .500 and still be called top 10? What other player could only throw 4 more TD's then int's and still be considered top 10?
The Answer is nobody.
Meanwhile Romo threw for more yards and threw 21 more touchdowns then INT's, but due to having a poor reputation he will never get a strong top 10 consideration. Matt Schaub led one of the best teams in the league before he got injured. And Stafford, threw for over 5,000 yards with 41 TD's and 16 INT's.
Yet Cam is still better then them
You know he reminds me of Vick last season. But with worse stats. He has a good season, is very mobile, then reality comes crashing down when you realize that a QB can't lead a team successfully for multiple seasons while rushing for so many yards. The idea that your quarterback, the player which you hire 5 massive guys to create a shield for, decides its better for the team if he takes off 126 times a year to get hammered by giant linebackers, defensive linemen and safeties, who all want to rip his head off, is fundamentally wrong. I mean if that was the plan then why have a RB? Obviously I am kidding but still the best QB's in the league are great because they can make pinpoint accurate throws, not get intercepted and do it 30 times a game without fail. They don't run 10 times because its not easy, they make the play and they show why they are getting paid so much money.
Hell maybe I'm just pissed that running QB's are the flavor of the month and everyone seems to be focusing on them rather then technically sound precision passers who do their job right. But regardless Cam Newton is over rated and should be 10-15 range. I don't care who you are, year in year out production is the key, that and winning games. Cam has yet to show the ability to do either. Not by his fault, but from the time frame he has been in the league.

Dynamics and Long-run Structure in U.S. Meat Demand
AbstractEmpirical analysis, based on a general dynamic Almost Ideal Demand System, shows the commonly used autoregressive and partial adjustment processes are restrictive to meat demand data. This study derives a linear specification in levels form to investigate dynamics in a general framework. Merging a long-run steady state structure with short-run dynamics results in consistent and robust long-run demand elasticities. Journal article in Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics 41 (1993), 139-153.

The University of South Florida will announce the firing of head football coach Skip Holtz Sunday afternoon according to an ESPN report.
Holtz's Bulls went 16-21 during his three-year tenure with the school. The team lost nine its final 10 games this season which ended Saturday night with a 27-3 drubbing at the hands of Pittsburgh.
The game was played at Raymond James Stadium.
After the game when asked about his job, the 48-year-old coach was optimistic, but aware of the frustration surrounding the teams' subpar performance with him at the helm.
"I understand the hard position that we've put a lot of people in," Holtz said. "But I would certainly like to be [back]. I'd like to see these young players develop into what I know that they can become."
Holtz took over the program after the program's only head coach Jim Leavitt was fired for allegedly hitting a player at hightime during a 2009 game. In his three seasons, the Bulls struggled in the Big East, going 1-6 in the conference in the last two seasons.
The firing comes just six months after Holtz received an extention by athletic director Doug Woolard. USF will pay Holtz $2.5 million over the remaining five years on his contract.

BWW Blog: Confessions of a Duccess of Nutrition
By: Staci Jackson
I knew I was "pudgier" than all of my friends. But I was so young, I didn't quite put it into the context of "weight loss".
I've been on a weight loss journey for 16 years. When I say I tried everything before I stumbled upon the magical land of Mark Fisher Fitness at the age of 27, I mean tried EVERYTHING. The laundry list of diets I tried, workout DVDs I purchased and diet/workout books I read goes on and on. They all worked for a brief period of time, but inevitably led to gaining back the weight that I had lost plus some extra pounds.
Things took a turn for the better when the glitter bomb that is MFF went off in my life. For the first time ever I felt like I was strong and good at moving. I even felt (wait for it...) ATHLETIC! Cue the triumphant music, and slow clap because I had finally overcome my fear of sucking at a sport. This was HUGE. This time I was going to lose weight because I was ACTUALLY excited to work out regularly and kick some ass.
Then reality hit, hard. You can't out-train your diet. I tried. I lost.
The next logical step for nutritional domination was Snatched. I LOVED it! Talk about feeling empowered, strong, and unstoppable! (Winning!) I had not seen huge results after Snatched (like some people) but I wasn't completely bummed because I was proud of all my hard work as well as my improved strength and movement. I still had a long way to go on my fat loss journey, but if Snatched made me feel that good about myself, I would use all the tools I learned during those six weeks to continue. I was sure the results would come with time and a continued regimen.
Trying to continue my Snatched nutrition regimen led me to eating when I wasn't hungry to ensure I hit my macros. Other times my stomach was full but I was not satisfied and had hardcore cravings. My taste buds were left wanting because I wasn't eating for enjoyment, but rather for results. I HATED eating that much protein, but I told myself to suck it up because this is how results are achieved. At the time I wasn't concerned with happiness, only fat loss results. So I did what I knew and continued the Snatched diet protocol.
As time went on, enthusiasm waned, and the after-Snatched glow dimmed into the daily grind of NYC life. It was increasingly easier to fudge my entries on My Fitness Pal, not plan my meals, and miss my protein goal. The extra calories from a little bite here and a tiny nibble there quickly turn into extra pounds and inches.
How in the 'eff did that happen? I had rules in place! Obviously I wasn't doing enough if I was backsliding off my Snatched diet, counting calories and tracking protein wasn't strict enough. My answer: MORE rules!
Calorie cycling seemed like a great place to start. It wasn't easy, but I nailed it. I was doing all this work. Still, the scale wouldn't budge and my measurements didn't move. No problem, add more rules! Next came calorie AND carb cycling together. This still wasn't getting results so the logical answer in my mind was, even MORE (dzuh). Add intermittent fasting into the mix, which eventually led to following a Paleo diet. My life was a whole bunch of "can'ts" fueled by one rule after another.
My Life of MORE
What did a life of MORE feel like? A lot of chaos, rules and stress. I would read every book and blog I could get my hands on. I implemented every "advanced" nutritional strategy that had gained popularity in the last two years. I told myself it was worth it because if it works for all the smart and lean people in the fitness industry, it has to work for me...right?
Saying I was stressed out trying to follow the rules for these diets is an understatement. I felt like I was ALWAYS starving. I was always thinking about food: when I could and couldn't eat, what I can't eat, ugh! I wanted more rules to make it easier, fewer choices and less thinking. That backfired and instead my life revolved around food and the many rules concerning it. Most of the time I was compliant as f*ck. Still, I was barely seeing any movement in measurements, or the way my clothes fit.
I became more diligent about my workouts. If I couldn't control my weight loss, I could control getting stronger. I had to PR every workout or I felt I wasn't working hard enough. If I wasn't stressing myself out enough about following these diets to a "T" and not seeing results, feeling like I had to go balls to the wall and/or PR every session compounded even more stress upon my body and mind.
I spent most of my time feeling like a failure. I obviously wasn't doing anything right if I still wasn't seeing results! This was my job. I am a fitness professional, a duchess of nutrition, I had all the knowledge and the best people to support me and yet nothing was working. It's my job to help people achieve health and hotness and I couldn't even give this to myself. Why would people trust me to help them if I couldn't even do it for myself?

Joan Giroux
According to Joan Giroux, Associate Professor, Art+Design, "Art and making art are about finding a purpose beyond oneself, and this is the thing that I hope to help my students to find. People can and must engage in social action."
Written by Michal Percival

Columbia College challenges its students to create change, and at least one professor can show you how. According to Joan Giroux, Associate Professor, Art+Design, "Art and making art are about finding a purpose beyond oneself, and this is the thing that I hope to help my students to find. People can and must engage in social action."
Activism is a way of life for Joan. Growing up in Syracuse, New York, she recounts time spent handing out anti-Viet Nam War flyers with her fiercely civic-minded parents as "some of the best childhood days, when people joined together in a common cause and out of the conviction that something mattered." Another important influence in Joan's life has been studying, teaching, exhibiting, and collaborating abroad in such far-flung places as Berlin, Japan, Israel, and South Korea. As an artist, Joan creates handmade objects, digital photomontage, kinetic sculpture, and performance that "address the concepts of mobility, potential, boundaries, and change," and her interests include environmental sustainability, healing, linguistics, and games (especially those that everybody wins).
During J-Session, Joan and Ames Hawkins, Associate Professor, English Department and Faculty in Cultural Studies, co-teach Art and Activism Studio Project, a unique service-learning course that ties together artistic production and social engagement. But she never stops showing students how to engage in thinking that explores diversity and understanding in and outside of the classroom. For example, in Fundamentals of 3D Design, Joan assigns the task of creating artwork that represents the analogies between two disparate objects. Once, a student created a corset to reflect the trappings of a cricket cage, a profoundly political parallel.
With all of her activities—making art, teaching, and working with colleagues in Art+Design, First-Year Seminar, the Center for Teaching Excellence, Critical Encounters, and CCFO committees—Joan is a highly visible presence at Columbia. Authentically compassionate, intellectual, and energetic, she demonstrates how artists can inspire their community to find the one trait that she believes that everyone possesses: a "capacity for goodness." Right on.

Why read? Interview with Harriett Gilbert
Harriett Gilbert is a writer and broadcaster. She presents World Book Club and The Strand for the BBC World Service and A Good Read for BBC Radio 4. She is the author of six novels, and of non-fiction books on sexuality, feminism and journalism.
In your work you speak to a lot of people for whom writing is now a viable way of making a living. Is there anything you have discovered in these conversations that you would like to share with aspiring writers?
Most writers who make a living from their craft say that the key is to keep writing – to keep trying, regardless of setbacks or distractions, to tell the story you want to tell in the most effective way possible. (Implicit in this, of course, is that it helps to have a story you really want to tell.) Also, most successful writers agree that aspiring writers need to READ – to learn from those who have gone before them.
Which novels or novelists would you consider must-reads for aspiring writers?
I don't think WHAT an aspiring writer reads is important. What matters is that she or he should read. It also helps to RE-read books that have particularly spoken to you, to try and work out how the author did it, and to find solutions to your own problems. For instance, how does the author you admire move the action forward? How does he or she let readers know what a character is thinking?
Who are your favourite writers?
Too many, too fluctuating and too invidious to name.
Whose writing do you read to engage with current affairs and whose do you read to escape them?
To escape current affairs I read golden-age detective fiction: Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham.
To engage with current affairs I read present-day detective fiction: Santiago Roncagliolo's Red April; Mike Nicol's Black Heart; Mukoma wa Ngugi's Nairobi Heat; Peter Temple's Truth. Also, almost anything by Margaret Atwood, whose finger is very firmly on a wide variety of pulses: technological, environmental, political.
Do you think that fiction can be used to encourage cross-cultural understanding?
Absolutely. I value and enjoy fiction most of all for the insight into other people's lives, minds, emotions, imaginations… and neuroses.
Which book depicts a place where you would like to live?
Loads of books have made me want to live where they're set – at least, while I was reading. Naguib Mafouz's Cairo trilogy, for instance; Annie Proulx's The Shipping News (Newfoundland);Alexander McCall Smith's The No1 Ladies Detective Agency (Botswana); Ardashir Vakil's Beach Boy (Bombay/Mumbai); Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City (San Francisco)…. But two books by Orhan Pamuk – his novel The Museum of Innocence and his memoir Istanbul, Memories of a City – have tumbled me head-over-heels in love with the Turkish capital.
What should we go away and read right now?
If I have to choose just one, it's David Grossman's To the End of the Land.

Officials are issuing a warning to drivers: If you've been in a crash in the last three years, you may have a faulty air bag.
Tens of thousands of car owners may be driving around with counterfeit air bags. Tests show these air bags don't inflate or fail to inflate properly.
It's unclear whether police can identify one of these counterfeit bags from a genuine one. Counterfeit bags are typically made to look like air bags made by automakers, when in fact they're not.
In most cases, these bags even include the manufacturers logo on it. Government investigators believe most of them are coming from China. The bags are marketed to auto body shops as the real deal.
On Wednesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has released a list of dozens of vehicle makes and models that may have these counterfeit bags installed. You can see those below.

Salk's Dulbecco is honored again
Nobel Laureate and distinguished Salk Institute research professor Renato Dulbecco has been awarded the President's Medal for Excellence by Indiana University.
It is one of the highest honors the university can bestow and was first presented on Sept. 20, 1985.
A Founding Fellow of the Salk Institute and President Emeritus, Dulbecco was one of four Nobel Laureates who worked together at IU in the life sciences during the late 1940s. He is credited with playing a pivotal role in the development of modern molecular biology and revealing the biochemical basis of our genetic codes.
Dulbecco's seminal research provided the first clue to the genetic nature of cancer and he was jointly awarded the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine and for discoveries concerning the interaction between tumor viruses and the genetic material of the cell.

Here is an article from mlbtraderumors.com saying that baltimore has expressed interest in Bobby Crosby.
What are your guys' thoughts?
What kind of package do you think we can expect? Crosby has underpreformed but is a former ROY and entering his physical prime in age, and maybe a change of scenery can put at him at where he was projected at the beginning of his career.
What Furcal implications does this suggest?
