Two weekends ago, Derek went backpacking with his best friend Chris for Spring Break, so my mom came down to stay with me for a week. And while he was gone we decided to completely redo the kitchen. And by redo, I mean as much as a rental would allow. So let's go ahead and jump right into the before and afters because no one wants to wait until the very end for this kind of reveal. As you may recall, the kitchen was very blah with off-white cabinets, off-white countertops, white walls, and navy carpet (what???).
So we ripped up the disgusting carpet which revealed some not so shabby tile below it. However the tile was also a creamy off-white and tan, which made the whole room very plain. With a little glossy oil-based paint we went from plain jane to holy-cow-I-can't-belive-that's-our-kitchen. Ready?
And one more, to show my new favorite view of the kitchen..
Okay now that that's over with, here's what we did! Derek and I agreed that after living with open shelving in the kitchen, we're never going back to upper cabinet doors. So I strapped on my cherub (who wouldn't have it any other way) and we removed all of the upper cabinet doors and assessed the situation.
The shelves had been lined with some awful green "granite" shelf liner, which we immediately ripped up. Then sanded down the leftover adhesive with some 40 grit sandpaper to smooth everything out.
Then we repaired the framing where the hinges once were, and removed all of the existing hardware on the lower cabinet doors and drawers and filled in the holes because I knew my new hardware wouldn't fit in the predrilled holes. We sanded the gloppy old paint around these areas with some more 40 grit sandpaper, then filled the holes with wood filler and waited 20 minutes (as directed) for it to cure. Once it was ready, we sanded down all of the cabinets (inside and out) with a less aggressive 220 grit sandpaper to sort of roughen everything up so that our paint would have something to really grab onto without leaving gross brushstrokes.
After lightly sanding everything, we wiped it all down with a damp cloth to pick up all of the loose sanding debris, and we were ready to paint. I wanted a nice glossy finish to add a little drama to our super bland kitchen, and I love working with oil paint (plus it's very durable for high traffic areas), so I picked up a gallon of Rust-oleum oil-based paint in Gloss Black.
Sidenote: a gallon was WAY more than enough. I probably could have gotten by with a couple of quarts. But maybe I have some other plans with gloss black paint for our home? ;)
We started with the upper cabinets and worked our way down. We made sure to tape off all of the edges where the cabinets met the wall (or window) because oil paint is very hard to remove once it has gotten on anything. So we were extra careful during this part.
Once all of the cabinet framing was painted, we started on all of the drawers and lower cabinet doors using the same method of light sanding, wiping down with a damp cloth, and painting. Oil paint kind of goes on like nail polish and wants to spread and even out (eliminating brush strokes) so you want to be rather generous with it and quickly finish your first coat rather than going back and touching things up, you can save that for your second coat.
We also painted the tiny bit of cabinet over by the stove, just to keep everything cohesive.
After 24 hours, the first coat of paint had dried and we were ready for our second. But first we needed to prep the surface. As you can see in the photo below there are still some brushstrokes after the first coat, and I was going for a nice glassy finish. So this wasn't really up to par yet.
To remedy this, I used some 400 grit sandpaper and dipped it in water to wet sand all of the painted surfaces before applying my second coat.
You can faintly see how the sandpaper has lifted the texture of the brushstrokes off of the surface of this drawer, and (although you can't feel it) is now smooth to the touch.
After wet sanding everything we took a microfiber cloth and wiped down everything to remove any remaining particles. It's important to use a microfiber cloth because this stage of sanding is so delicate that the particles left behind are teeny tiny, but can totally ruin your finish if not removed properly.
Once all of the freshly wet sanded surfaces had been wiped down it was time for the final coat.
After another 24 hours of dry time it was time to install all of the new hardware! We had to drive to a Home Depot 45 minutes away to find the hardware I was looking for because it had been clearanced out and no one had any left in stock except for this location. Totally worth it though to score $2 hardware for .83cents a pop.
I made a template for my hardware using an index card and marked where the screw holes were so that I knew exactly where to drill my new holes. I used the same hardware for both the drawers and doors, so this part was pretty easy.
After everything was nice and level, I marked each hole with a sharp object leaving two small dents where my holes needed to be drilled. That way there wound't be any mistakes and my newly drilled holes would line up perfectly like so..
We started with the drawers then finished with the doors before placing them back onto the cabinetry framing.
Just a note: When you're working with an older home (or really any home) be sure to number your doors and drawers so that you know exactly where to put them when you're done. In our case these cabinets were handmade so each drawer and door was a hair different in size and it was like a puzzle trying to line everything up again.
And now for more beautiful photos of the finished kitchen. The new roman shade was created using this method.
It's hard to capture how truly glass-like this finish turned out, but just look at the reflection of the rug in the next photo.
This project was definitely a labor of love, but it was so worth it in the end. Derek was blown away when he came back from his camping trip to a brand new kitchen. And I am still sort of shocked every time I walk by and catch a glimpse of the transformation of the entire space. Next up we plan to paint the walls with a nice light light minty green (maybe Benjamin Moore'e Healing Aloe?) to sort of freshen up the walls, that have definitely seen better days.

NBC's Chuck is very Mac-heavy
I'm not sure what happened to the memo from top NBC brass, after the iTunes negotiations broke down, saying that Apple was firma non grata... but it clearly didn't make it to the Warner Bros. production offices of Chuck in time to excise all the Mac gear from the geek-themed spy comedy's pilot episode. The corporate rage may have found some outlet, however, in the sheer destructive energy expended on the show's poor, defenseless Macs. Even the presence of a nasty Windows virus (the kind that causes laptops to emit smoke and sparks!) as a plot point doesn't make up for the carnage.
There's the protagonist's doomed home machine, a G5 tower with a convenient sticker over the side logo -- which a) must be a lot lighter than a production model, seeing how it got tossed about; and b) suffers a grim fate as a gravity-test victim/close-combat weapon -- and earlier, there's another Mac that makes a key appearance in the opening sequence before getting blown to smithereens. (OK, seriously now, the CIA and NSA keep all their classified information -- all of it -- on one lonely Mac Plus? I sincerely doubt it.)
You can review the carnage at NBC's full-episode playback page; the Mac Plus detonation is in the first four minutes, and the G5 breakdown is at about 16 minutes in. Too bad you can't watch it on your iPhone, unless of course you EyeTV'ed it last night. Also spotted during this week's premieres: Emmy-nominee

The High Roller
Posted by admin On May 1st, 2014
I am the host of the High Roller!
Wow. I never would have thought I'd be a host of a tourist attraction, haha. I love it. Feels like a dream. It wasn't in the plans at all. But God works in mysterious oversized ways.
For the past few months I have been doing background acting to make ends meet. And in the world of background work, you don't book work unless you submit all the time, and in Los Angeles there are a lot of people submitting for the same gigs. So being low on money, I decided to start submitting for gigs I wasn't really right for.
One such gig was that of a poker player/person who could do card tricks. I don't know any card tricks but I do know how to play poker. I figured it wouldn't be that hard to fake it for the camera. It's Hollywood. So I submitted and they called me in for an interview the next day.
They interviewed us on the Universal lot. There were four of us sitting at a table in front of the director trying to do card tricks. Between the four of us not one trick was done. It felt like we were in grade school failing in front of the teacher. I'll never forget the director sitting there with his elbow on the the table resting his head in his palm, while I tried to shoot the cards from one hand to the other, spilling them all over the ground, and mumbling as I bent over to pick them up, "You gotta go big or go home"!
So I went home. But as I was driving off the lot. I ran into an old producer friend who asked if I wanted to audition for this hosting gig he was working on. I figured I might as well try it out, so I auditioned.
The next week I booked the High Roller and also received an official letter banning me from doing background work with Central Casting for a month.

Checking your Java version is easy. The steps are the same whether you are on Windows, Mac OS or Linux. You just need to open a terminal window or command prompt and execute a command. Also remember that you might have two types of Java on your computer.
Checking the Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
The Java Runtime Environment lets you run Java programs. More specifically, the java command interprets and executes Java programs. To check the version, open a command window and type java -version. This will display information about your Java Runtime environment. If the command fails, go to the bin directory of the Java Runtime Environment and run java -version again.
Checking the Java Development Kit (JDK)
The Java Development Kit is an environment for Java developers. It includes the Java interpreter and compiler. You use the javac command to compile Java programs. To check the compiler version, type javac -version. Checking the interpreter version is the same as before: java -version.

Planning for Your Parents' Retirement
Published Online:
Tuesday, December 11, 2012
Follow Pharmacy_Times:
This year, Thanksgiving wasn't just a time for my family to come together; apparently, it was also time for my parents,
closing in on retirement
, to discuss their finances with my sister and me. As a result, I got a crash course in the role I will have in the trust they are setting up.
At a point when I have barely gotten a handle on my own financial situation, I've now learned that I will potentially have to handle my parents' finances as well. Although both of my parents are in good health and they probably won't fully retire for a few more years, they took the time to meet with a financial advisor and draw up some paperwork: namely a will and a
All around the country, financial planners are working with clients on their
estate plans
. As of now, the exemption limit for estate taxes on the federal level is set to drop from $5.12 million to a measly
$1 million
at the
beginning of 2013
. On top of that, there are state rules. And in lovely New Jersey, which has one of the
highest tax burdens
in the country and where my parents and I live, the limit is even lower: Only the first $675,000 of an estate is exempt from the state's estate tax.
To save money in his estate by avoiding the estate tax, my father is setting up a trust. However, he is not appointing his children as the beneficiaries. The point of this trust is that when my father passes away, my mother will be taken care of. In addition, the money that goes into the trust will not be taxed for estate tax purposes, so my parents don't have to worry about the exemption level.
As the child living closest to them (my sister is in Virginia), I have been named the trustee of the trust. This means that should my father pass away, my mother can only access the money in the trust if I allow it. And I can't allow it unless the requests for money that my mother makes are legitimate—the point is that she will have to continue to live at the level she is accustomed to.
So, yes, I would be able to take money out of the trust to pay for my mother's groceries, mortgage payments, health care, and a vacation or two each year. But I would not be able to hand over money for a shopping spree on Rodeo Drive or one of those 50-day-plus cruises around the world.
And if my grandmother's decline in health is any indication, then my own mother won't always be able to ask for money for the appropriate reasons. There may come a day when she can't remember that she just tucked $200 for a new winter coat into her wallet.
Getting your own finances in order is tough enough, but every child has to face the fact that one day, they may be in charge of their parents' as well.

New South Suburban PADS director thinking big
BY CASEY TONER email@example.com November 14, 2013 7:46PM
Article Extras
Updated: December 16, 2013 6:06AM
Having spent a little more than two months working as the executive of director of South Suburban PADS (Public Action to Deliver Shelter), Geraldine Palmer already has some big ideas with which to move forward.
Palmer, of Evanston, was hired in late August to take over the Chicago Heights-based social service agency. She replaces longtime executive director Mike Wasserburg, who headed PADS for about 20 years and left in January.
In her new role, Palmer said she wants to expand the charity's permanent housing by acquiring subsidies from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development in order to move about 15 to 25 homeless families into off-site housing.
Palmer also said she wants South Suburban PADS to move into the arenas of advocacy and housing policy in order to change how funding is disbursed at the state and federal levels.
"I think that with the voices we have, the collective voices we have, we should be doing much more informing and shaping public policy," Palmer said.
After all, Palmer said, the need for housing for the homeless in the south suburbs is more dire than ever due to the poverty plaguing the region. She said the homeless population is particularly underserved in the south suburbs due to the decline in manufacturing coupled with the number of Chicago residents who moved to the Southland following the demolition of several Chicago housing projects.
"When that happens, you don't have the resources to match the number of people living in one community," Palmer said. "If the demand outnumbers the supply at any point in time, of course you will have a glitch in the system."
Palmer has a proven track record of providing housing for the homeless. For the past four years, she worked as the Northside Housing and Supportive Services executive director. Working in the role, she increased the budget from $650,000 to $2 million before leaving for PADS.
When she started, the agency offered permanent support for 44 people, and by the time she left, the organization provided permanent housing for 200 people and interim housing to another 100.
Palmer is deeply connected with the Southland, having grown up in Robbins. She has one brother and two sisters, and her mother was a stay-at-home mom and her father worked as an Amtrak conductor.
She graduated from Eisenhower High School in 1972 and went on to earn her undergraduate degree from Kendall College in Chicago, her master's degree in human services from Spertus Institute for Jewish Learning and Leadership and her doctorate in community psychology from National Louis University.
Palmer stayed in the south suburbs until moving in 1994 to Evanston, where she now serves on the housing and homelessness commission.
Despite her residence, she said her family still owns the plot of land in Robbins where she grew up, although her childhood home has been demolished. The land is at 135th Street and Monticello Avenue, in the footprint of the proposed controversial Robbins redevelopment that calls for the excavation of a quarry and underground mine.
"I think it's a travesty," Palmer said. "I don't think it's a good idea to give up land like that. Land is precious and a valuable resource."
With her new job, Palmer said, she is considering a move back to the south suburbs.
"It definitely has crossed my mind," Palmer said. "I seem to be doing a lot of work and these things seem to be no coincidence. The issues and challenges that are here seem to align with my years of experience and work."

Experiencing Letter Writing Day in Haiti
Sponsored children need encouragement from sponsors who believe in their potential to do well. Words of encouragement in a letter can make all the difference.
When Letter Writing Isn't Fulfilling
When someone at the grocery store is rude to you or your friend is a bit short, it's always good to remember that you have no idea the struggles and challenges that they are facing at that exact moment — so extend grace to them!
Let the Child Sponsorship Journey Begin…
Sami Cone's children wanted to be a part of a sponsored child's life, but not just any child, a child their age that they could start to relate to on at least some level. They wanted to feel like they were making a difference. They wanted to learn how to put feet to their faith.
Touching Hearts
The apostle Paul was filled with great love for the Thessalonian church. What if every sponsor was filled with that kind of love for the children they sponsor?
Sponsor Letters: Gifts From the Heart
For children in Togo and around the world, a letter from a sponsor is a source of great joy. Most children see letters as gifts from the hearts of their sponsors.
Nine Most Common Correspondence Questions
Questions about correspondence are among the most common we hear among support community and in the contact center.
The Power of Words and Actions
There are hundreds of women's groups who meet each fall, spring, and summer for bible studies, and with such little extra time and effort, they can take their faith into action, being the hands and feet of Jesus in this world.
The relational aspect of sponsorship is not just important in getting people to become sponsors. It is important throughout the sponsorship journey, because love is best shown in a relational context.
What is the Value of Your Sponsorship?
Have you considered how much you mean to your sponsored child?
How many of us sit in front of a blank computer screen or piece sheet of paper wondering what to share with our sponsored child? What do you say or not say?
A Minute to Write a Letter, Part Two
Rendel stayed to the back of the small crowd of children, hoping — but knowing that his name would not be called. It had been three months since letter-writing day.
A Minute to Write a Letter, Part One
Rendel hoped that maybe today his sponsor would send him something — just a few words, a picture, anything.
A Sponsor's Letter: From Gayle to Her Child
A lot needs to happen before a sponsor like Gayle can receive a letter from her sponsored child. In this video we see the sponsor side of the sponsor-child letter-writing journey.
A Child's Letter: From Maria to Her Sponsor
Letter writing is essential for the special one to one relationship between children and sponsors. Maria from Bangladesh just found out that she has a sponsor and eagerly writes her first letter.
Kim assumed that our ministry would change her perspective as an adult, but wasn't sure what to expect when it came to her children. After becoming a sponsor, she has seen first-hand six ways child sponsorship has changed the lives of her 6 and 2-year-olds.
Hearts Apart Linked by Love
Ever since I knew about Compassion International and their child sponsorship work helping children in impoverished areas of the world, I knew I wanted a child of our own to sponsor. My idea was to find a boy that my son could correspond with, a boy that had something in common with my son.
What If This Was the Fate of Your Letters?
After taking a trip to Guatemala with Compassion, sponsor and ministry advocate Julie Berger felt a responsibility to protect all other sponsors from what she experienced. Let her explain…
The Spirit Of Words
At first glance, words on pages could seem as though they were merely words, but an 11 year old boy named Sam from Ghana provided a powerful reminder that words prayed over and led by the Spirit have a power and a purpose all their own.
When it comes to sponsorship, there are a couple of ways in which Compassion Canada and Compassion USA are different, and several ways that we are the same.
10 Motivating Reasons to Write Your Child
Out of 3,500 letters from our Project Facilitators, we compiled a list of 10 of the most motivating reasons to write your child.
Ideas for writing your sponsored child are a very popular topic on the Compassion blog, OurCompassion, on Facebook…pretty much everywhere.
Are You Ignoring Their Prayer Requests?
My sponsored child asks me to pray for his studies and please pray for rain for the crops. I toss the letter on the couch and move on with my day. I've read it all before and as a city girl the request for rain means little to me.
Sponsored Children Love Your Letters!
Sponsor letters can do more than money, because they build a relationship between child and sponsor. These letters are not just pieces of paper; these letters are filled with love, affection, emotion and inspiration for children.
The Damasco Student Center has given Karen the opportunity to make a good friend thousands of miles away — her sponsor, Kyoung. Every letter from Kyoung is a valuable treasure to Karen containing messages of hope, encouragement and love.
Changes to Our Letter-Writing Process
To help you feel more closely connected with your child, we're implementing four changes to our correspondence process in the next year.

Cloning and expression of candidate allergens from Culicoides obsoletus for diagnosis of insect bite hypersensitivity in horses.
Summary of "Cloning and expression of candidate allergens from Culicoides obsoletus for diagnosis of insect bite hypersensitivity in horses."
Insect bite hypersensitivity (IBH) is an IgE-mediated (Type I) hypersensitivity reaction induced by allergens from biting midges of the Culicoides spp. The aim of the present study was to identify, clone and express recombinant allergens from C. obsoletus, the main species found feeding on horses in the Netherlands, by sequence homology searches on the C. obsoletus specific RNA database, with previously described allergens from C. nubeculosus and C. sonorensis. BLAST searches with these described allergens resulted in similarity hits with 7 genes coding for C. obsoletus allergens. These allergens were expressed as hexahistidine tagged recombinant proteins in E. coli. Allergens were termed Cul o 1-Cul o 7. A maltase (Cul o 1) plus Cul s 1 (maltase of C. sonorensis) were additionally expressed in insect cells using the baculovirus expression system to compare homologous allergens from different species produced with different expression systems in diagnostic in vitro and in vivo tests. We demonstrate that IBH affected horses in the Netherlands show higher IgE levels to Cul o 1 than to Cul s 1, as determined by an IgE ELISA. Furthermore, we show that Cul o 1 produced in E. coli is at least as suitable for in vitro diagnosis of IBH affected horses as Cul o 1 produced in the baculovirus/insect cell expression system. The resulting proteins were evaluated for their ability to discriminate IBH affected and healthy horses by ELISA and intradermal testing. The frequency of positive test results by ELISA within IBH affected horses ranged from 38% to 67% for the different allergens. When results of IgE-binding to Cul o 1-Cul o 7 were combined the test had a sensitivity of 92% and specificity of 85%. The capability of the allergens to induce Type I hypersensitivity reaction in IBH affected horses was demonstrated by an intradermal test. The results show that E. coli expressed recombinant allergens from C. obsoletus are valuable tools to determine the allergen specific sensitisation profile (component resolved diagnosis) in horses with IBH in countries were C. obsoletus is the most abundant species and may facilitate in the development of future immunotherapy.

Clovis Oncology Completes Enrollment In Pivotal LEAP Trial Of CO-101 Versus Gemcitabine In Metastatic Pancreatic Cancer
About LEAP
LEAP is an international, randomized, controlled 360-patient, pivotal trial designed to demonstrate that CO-101 improves overall survival versus gemcitabine in hENT1-low metastatic pancreatic cancer patients. Patients enrolled in the trial are being randomized on a one-to-one basis to receive either CO-101 or gemcitabine. Metastatic tumor tissue is collected from all patients to enable hENT1 assessment and patient classification, although investigators and Clovis are blinded to each patient's hENT1 status until the end of the study. The hENT1-low patients are the target population for CO-101 and the subject of the primary overall survival analysis in LEAP. If the study meets the primary endpoint, the efficacy of CO-101 in other patient populations contained within the trial will be prospectively examined in statistical step-down fashion.
About the hENT1 Companion Diagnostic Test
Clovis has established a collaboration with Ventana Medical Systems, Inc. to develop an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) to reliably measure tissue hENT1 expression and enable prospective classification of patients as either hENT1-high or hENT1-low. Clovis utilized this IVD to establish the definition of hENT1-high and hENT1-low patients from a number of clinical studies of gemcitabine, which allowed outcome data to guide an optimized definition of "hENT1-low" that identifies patients who are expected to derive little benefit from gemcitabine therapy. These studies consistently demonstrated that the percentage of hENT1-low patients was approximately two-thirds. This percentage was prospectively confirmed in LEAP when Clovis announced in January 2012 that 65 percent of the initial 250 patients enrolled in the study were classified as hENT1-low. As part of the development plan for CO-101, Clovis and Ventana have completed the necessary analytical validation studies for the IVD, and it is currently undergoing clinical validation in LEAP. Ventana intends to submit the Pre-Market Approval Application, or PMA, in coordination with Clovis' New Drug Application, or NDA, for CO-101.About Pancreatic Cancer According to the American Cancer Society, over 43,000 new cases of pancreatic cancer occurred in the United States in 2010. In addition, according to Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, over 60,000 new cases are reported each year in the European Union and according to a study published in Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology in 2004, over 20,000 new cases are reported annually in Japan. According to Medical, Surgical & Radiation Oncology (9 th Edition, 2005), 85 percent of patients with pancreatic cancer present with unresectable, locally advanced, also referred to as Stage III, or metastatic, also referred to as Stage IV, disease. Even after surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy for apparently localized disease, these patients often experience early recurrence and rapid disease progression. As a result, according to the American Cancer Society, pancreatic cancer has one of the highest mortality rates among all cancers, with estimates for one- and five-year overall survival of 24 and 5 percent, respectively, in the United States. About Clovis Oncology Clovis Oncology, Inc. is a biopharmaceutical company focused on acquiring, developing and commercializing innovative anti-cancer agents in the U.S., Europe and additional international markets. Clovis Oncology targets development programs at specific subsets of cancer populations, and simultaneously develops diagnostic tools that direct a compound in development to the population that is most likely to benefit from its use. Clovis Oncology is headquartered in Boulder, Colorado, and has additional offices in San Francisco, California and Cambridge, UK.

As a glorious rolling anachronism in a line of other rolling anachronisms, we're not surprised that the Morgan 3 Wheeler has found a small but fervent following. But even Morgan execs probably didn't see this coming: the trike is outselling all of the brand's other models – and not by a little bit. According to Autocar, the 3 Wheeler itself will account for over 600 units this year, outshining the sales ledgers of the 4/4, Plus 4 and Roadster models, as well as the Plus 8 and modern-look Aero, the latter two accounting for only about 150 units a year. Importantly, not only is the 3 Wheeler selling in volumes that have "far exceeded" company expectations, it appears to be drawing in a younger crowd, exactly what a boutique automaker like Morgan needs if it hopes to thrive long-term.
With the 3 Wheeler's great success, it should come as no surprise to learn that the automaker is looking to leverage its appeal with new variations – some with new engines hung out front, others with different bodystyles. And in other matters of the heart, Autocar indicates that Morgan is presently debating whether to continue using its traditional steel chassis construction as well as the extruded aluminum framework found under the Plus 8 and Aero.

WINSTON-SALEM North Carolina researchers are trying to make sure the U.S. military isnt fighting the war of the future while treating its wounded with medicine from the past.
Their work eventually could speed the growth of new skin over traumatic burns, replace lost arms and hands, restore disfigured faces and undo some of the other lasting damage of combat.
Its all about quality of life, said Dr. Anthony Atala, director of Wake Forest School of Medicines Institute for Regenerative Medicine, which announced Tuesday that it will lead a five-year, $75 million federally funded effort to improve treatment options for severely wounded servicemen and women.
Researchers in the field of regenerative medicine work to engineer tissues and organs and develop healing cell therapies, either to replace or to help the body regrow what has been lost. The technologies and techniques developed to help wounded warriors could benefit civilian patients as well.
Better protective gear, improved medical treatment in the field and quick evacuation to hospitals have made it possible to save the lives of soldiers who would have died in past wars. But those who survive often have severe and disabling injuries, most of them caused by improvised explosive devices.
Atala and his researchers will work with colleagues at more than 30 institutions around the country to develop clinical therapies focused on:
• Restoring function to severely traumatized limbs.
• Regenerating tissue to reconstruct after facial and skull injuries.
• Regenerating skin after burn injuries.
• Preventing the rejection of transplants such as of the face and hands.
• Reconstructing genital and urinary organs and the lower abdomen.
The projects will fall under the umbrella of the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine II; the first five-year grant, for $42 million, ended last year. It, too, was led by Wake Forest researchers, who have been doing regenerative medicine studies for 25 years.
Academic, military combination
Wake Forest announced the launch of the second phase of the work at its BioTech Place, which opened last year in downtown Winston-Salem. The event drew state and local political leaders, including state Senate leader Phil Berger and Maj. Gen. Joseph Caravalho Jr., commanding general of U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md.
While the military is working on the problems, it needs the help of academic and industry researchers as well, which is why it, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the National Institutes of Health invited proposals from researchers around the nation.
The military doesnt have the resources to do it all, Caravalho said, so it told researchers the kind of help its warriors needed and asked them to work on solutions.
Besides traumatic brain injury, which has received most of the attention as the signature injury of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, burns and lost limbs are among the most common injuries, Atala said.
Both can have a severe impact on soldiers lives, often making it impossible for them to continue to serve in the military and difficult for them to adjust to civilian life.
Both are medical challenges, as well. Burn injuries often are treated with repeated skin grafts, and can result in restricted movement and heavy scarring.
Lost limbs can be replaced with prosthetics, but their comfort and usefulness varies.
Regenerative research is looking for ways to improve healing of burn injuries, such as spray-on skin cells that could be applied within days of the injury. Scientists also have had success with limb transplants using techniques to reduce the likelihood of rejection, so patients immune systems dont have to be indefinitely suppressed.
Wake Forest researcher George Christ describes himself as a muscle guy, whose research has focused on how organs and tissues work and how they change over time. As people age, they have less tissue available to make injuries heal, Christ said. Soldiers who have lost full or partial limbs have essentially the same problem: a tissue shortage.
If you run out of viable tissue, whats the answer? he asked. You make more tissue, right?
We have no regrets
One of his projects, he said, could result in a way to create new tissue to replace what is lost in a blast.
Christ said he is driven in the work that he does by the recollection of some wounded soldiers who came to speak to a group of the consortiums scientists. One by one, he said, they stood and described their injuries and how they had been hurt. One, he said, told the scientists that he hoped they would do their research without concern for who gets the credit for it, or who gets the biggest grants.
We gave everything we had, Christ said the soldier told them. We have no regrets. We just ask that you guys check your egos at the door and do the same for us.

About FEMA Multi-Hazard Mitigation Planning
The 4 phases of Emergency Management are:
Storm Sirens
Sirens are designed to be heard when citizens are outside their home or business, so they may take immediate shelter. People inside of homes or businesses will not always hear them. People indoors should rely on radio, television, cable override, and alert radios to keep them informed and let the sirens inform those out of doors.
The City of Branson is covered by seventeen (17) sirens and conducts tests the second Wednesday of the month at 10:00 a.m.; unless there is questionable weather then it is the third Wednesday. The City of Springfield also conducts siren tests at this time.
The City of Forsyth is covered by three (3) sirens and also tests on the second Wednesday of each month at 10:00 a.m.
Taneyville and Rockaway Beach are covered by one (1) siren each.
The Office of Emergency Management maintains and annually updates the Local Emergency Operations Plan outlining multiple agencies responsibilities during a disaster.
Taney County houses a Homeland Security Response Team funded through Federal Department of Homeland Security Grant money.

Last Bend Lodge, on the Scenic Banks of the Beautiful Nottely River, is so named because The Nottely performs a hairpin bend right in front of The Lodge, The Last Bend in the River before it disappears into the Vast Natahala National Forest!
Several miles downstream The River flows into huge, pristine Lake Hiawassee which has over 150 miles of shoreline, 90% of which is unspoiled National Forest Land... Open to ALL! The Lodge is situated at 1500 feet elevation and within the area are peaks in excess of 5000 feet. The River sweeps up from the Southwest, executes its turn in front of The Lodge and bubbles off to the Southeast. The view from the massive, elevated deck is just spectacular.
Last Bend Lodge was constructed in 2003 and is bordered by The River in front and The National Forest and our other home, River's Edge Cabin, on the other sides. Rushing Branch Creek tumbles down the mountain and into The River between the two Homes. The Master Suite features French Doors which open to a private, screened section of the deck overlooking The Creek. Yes, this is a private, secluded and very unique site and yet it is easily accessible, with no steep or precipitous driving, and not at all remote.
Convenient Access and Excellent Privacy... The Best of Both Worlds! We are located in Cherokee County, North Carolina (The Westernmost County in the State) about seven miles west of the Bustling Mountain Town of Murphy, North Carolina which is also the County Seat. Murphy has a Junior College, a substantial Medical Center and a Regional-size Wal-Mart as well as many other dining and shopping options.
The World Renowned John C. Campbell School of Folk Arts is a must see. They welcome you to walk right into the classes which range from Blacksmithing to Blue Grass Music.
Come to Last Bend Lodge. Always peaceful and quiet of urban noise. Cool in the Spring and Summer, when the birds are singing and the fish are jumping and snug in the Fall and Winter, when the hills and valleys are ablaze with color and the peaks are capped snow white. Hike, bike, fish, antique, sightsee, and all of the other many activities... Or just sit on the porch and listen to The River Flow By.
*Pets are welcome for a $50 per pet fee. There is also a $50 per pet extra (refundable with no damage) security deposit. We offer a professionally constructed, covered & lockable kennel.
*Last Bend Lodge is 'Smoke Free'. You may smoke on the porch but absolutely not inside.
