Mixson Research Project Could Lead to New Source of Biofuel -- Even for Jets!
Posted by: Kelley Welf on Sep 2, 2010
The Lindbergh Foundation is very excited to be funding Stephanie Mixson's research into "Conserving Energy and Freshwater by Harnessing Saltwater Algae as a Biofuel Source." Her project is unique from other work being done to create biofuels from algae because she is focusing on saltwater algae, and being able to use existing coastal refineries to create a "drop-in" replacement for oil. Mixson added that, "One of the primary goals of this project is to produce aviation biofuels using microalgae."
Furthermore, the resulting product is expected to meet specifications for Jet A-1 and JP-8 fuels.
John King, co-chairman of King Schools, Inc., and board member of the Lindbergh Foundation, weighed in on this subject, saying, "To continue to be viable, the aviation industry must solve the problem of carbon emissions. The work Ms. Mixson is conducting, with support from the Lindbergh Foundation, offers one of the best hopes for a solution to this critical problem."
Dr. William Roberts, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at North Carolina State University, explained that the emissions from this fuel would not add additional greenhouse gases to the atmosphere because the feedstocks pull carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere to grow (i.e., the carbon is non-anthropogenic), and by emitting less particulate matter, the radiation balance is affected in a positive way. "Microalgae is probably 7 – 10 years away from being commercially viable, and other oil crops, such as camelina or jatropha, could be ready in as little as 3 years at the scale of 10 million gallons per year using our process, with aggressive funding," said Dr. Roberts.
The best news is that competitive pricing, similar to petroleum at approximately $2.50 per gallon, is planned.
This project is very important and timely because as Ms. Mixson points out, two of the most important natural resources supporting modern civilization are oil and freshwater. Worldwide, there are already freshwater shortages and no substitutes for most freshwater uses including growing agricultural crops, manufacturing goods, and safeguarding human health. Furthermore, freshwater is being used to make fuel. Petroleum-based fuels are also being rapidly depleted, so scientists are turning to renewable biofuels. However, most attention has been on freshwater microalgae, which would further drain freshwater resources.
This is what the Lindbergh Foundation's concept of "Balance" is all about. Using science and innovation to tackle real-world problems that affect our environment and quality of life.

30 Perfect Winter Outfits
Digital Fashion
I like clothes more than most, but I still face those mornings when dressing for a 30-degree day feels like booking a table for 12 at last minute's notice, having to watch the new episode of Downton Abbey in Farsi or something equally maddening. When my bedroom's the temperature of a meat locker, I just can't untangle the layers and pieces of dressing for cold weather. It's too much.
That's when I turn to what is, as the adage goes, the highest form of flattery: imitation. When I can't come up with my own great outfit, I just copy other people's really amazing outfits—like these ones in the slideshow below. Corralled from my favorite street style photographers and our very own Community, they're each so, so good in very different ways. Surely there's a copy-able template in there for you and your own stressed-out-need-a-major-outfit-now sort of mornings.

Equity finance is still underutilised by small and medium sized businesses across Europe. With the bank lending environment being tightened and the reliance of the European economic recovery on innovative, high growth firms; improving the SME access to equity finance will be crucial in ensuring European long-term competitiveness.
The SME Union recently co-organised with ACCA (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants), UEAPME (the European Association of Craft, Small and Medium- sized Enterprises ) and EFAA (the European Federation of Accountants and Auditors for small businesses) a roundtable called 'Facilitating access to equity finance – from trusted advisers to active intermediaries'- at the European Parliament in Brussels.
Through two expert panel discussions moderated by Robin Jarvis, ACCA's special adviser and member of the consumer group of the European Banking Authority, the event aimed to open up the dialogue between the investors, SMEs, accounting and other professionals to explore the current state of play of private equity finance in Europe.

Elliott's attorney, Virgina McCoy, confirmed today the appeal will be taken to the full county school board. Other than announcing plans for the appeal, McCoy said she did not wish to comment further at this time.
The board previously voted that if the charges for dismissal were true, then the charges were legitimate grounds to dismiss the tenured teacher.
Bradley County Director of Schools Johnny McDaniel presented the charges for dismissal during the Oct. 4, 2012, school board meeting.
"I recommend dismissal based on Ms. Elliott 's incompetence, neglect of duty and unprofessional conduct," McDaniel said during his recommendation for dismissal in October. "Ms. Elliott's actions clearly fall under definitions found at Tennessee Code Annotated 49-5-501."
School board members were asked not to discuss the case since the hearing might be called. The dismissal hearing took place Jan. 30-31 with impartial hearing officer Dale Conder Jr. making a decision on March 22.
According to TCA 49-5-512, written notice of the appeal will be submitted to the director of schools. The director will then provide board members with transcripts of the hearing and other documentation within 20 days.
"The board shall hear the appeal on the record and no new evidence shall be introduced. The affected employee may appear in person or by counsel and argue why the decision should be modified or reversed. The board may sustain the decision, send the record back if additional evidence is necessary, revise the penalty or reverse the decision," TCA 49-5-512 states.
A decision is required within 10 days of the appeal hearing. The decision of the appeal hearing could then be further appealed in Bradley County Chancery Court.

My newest book is very short and to the point. It's called Humble Orthodoxy and it's about why Christians should both care about truth but also be gracious in the way we communicate what we believe. I see too many people wishy-washy about the essentials of the faith. I also see too many people who are orthodox but really kind of mean and arrogant. Neither of these options glorify Jesus. Here's a review of the book.
If you're making plans to come to the Washington, DC, area or you've just moved here, you're welcome to visit my church, Covenant Life. We meet on Sundays at 10am. We also have a weekly prayer meeting on Wednesdays at 7:30pm. Here's more info. Hope to see you.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. There are a number of articles and resources here, but I don't do new posts on it as frequently as I used to. You know how it goes. Blogs are so 2008. But come see me on either Twitter or my Facebook Page where I post more often. (Or just stay off social media altogether and enjoy a richer life.)
Jesus taught his disciples that they should always pray and never give up (Luke 18:1). In these three sermons I look at some of the hardest moments in the lives of Paul, Elijah and David and how God met them and sustained them through trouble. Listen here.
I'm a follower of Jesus Christ. I live in Gaithersburg, Maryland, with an amazing wife and three wacky, fun kids. I'm a pastor at Covenant Life Church. I'm also a writer.

Women's football | Maize husks mark lines in Mzuzu, says Mr. Happy
One of the most lyrical descriptions of traveling to women's football in Africa comes from the recent e-mail newsletter of Africa Unplugged in Nkhata Bay, Malawi. A revival of the charity's Nkhata Bay United Sisters FC (see 15 Jan 07) involved several players participating in regional trials for the Malawi senior women's team.
Despite not having played football previous to the girls' program starting in 2006, seven Nkhata Bay representatives—Martha Longwe, Chikondi Gama, Naomi Mhone, Mourine Mhone, Virginia Hojane, Mphaso Banda and Ruth Phiri—were chosen for the national side. Malawi faces Namibia in a friendly on Mar 26. Of special interest is the narrative that founder Chris Ashton quotes from one of the program's local staff members, Mr. Happy.
I, Mr. Happy M.D., accompanied the girls on their way to Mzuzu, everything was good. Singing, chatting, and final touches in coaching the girls were all mixed in with the mini bus ride on our way. We had a stop over at Mpamba where we bought some snacks, bananas, green maize, oranges and few avocado pear, fruits rich in vitamins. The rains were a dripping-dripping, but we never gave up the fight to meet our friends in Mzuzu with the vision to win and get good positions for the national team. We arrived in Mzuzu at 11.00 am and drove straight to the venue ground Chiwabvi stadium; we were probably the second team to get there and every thing was normal. To our surprise the football pitch was marked with maize (husks) to show lines instead of lime. It is true … you must always expect the unexpected as you travel in Africa.

The current development of GSM, CDMA and WCDMA networks puts strong demand on controller efficiency. The network controllers (BSC, RNC and EVO) must help operators meet future expansion needs, while also protecting today's investments.
The success of smartphones places new demands on mobile networks, and especially on RNCs. Smartphones require on average four to five times more signaling capacity than feature phones. Mobile-broadband services provided to laptops, netbooks and tablets are also contributing to the rapid growth of data traffic.
Ericsson's latest controller – Evo Controller 8200 – is the market's only true multi controller. The Evo Controller 8200 is a vital component of the RAN evolution strategy. It combines the functions of the GSM base station controller (BSC) and the UMTS radio network controller (RNC) in one common network controller. With the Evo Controller, we are making it easier to leverage investments in GSM, while offering WCDMA customers even higher performance levels. We have also added new capabilities, such as a Wi-Fi controller and smart mobile-broadband (MBB) functionality into the multi controller.
BSC (HD BSC) and RNC (RNC 3820) are well established in the market. They represent future-proof investments for operators requiring TDM or ATM on all transport interfaces, combined with or without IP.
The Ericsson GSM BSC and WCDMA RNC product family gives an operator a wide choice of configurations for different network topologies, from metropolitan optimized for high traffic to rural optimized for coverage.
The Evo Controller 8100, is the first building block for a common controller, where the BSC can be expanded with Evo Controller 8200/RNC capabilities. The Evo Controller 8200/BSC, with support for more than 3000 transceivers in one single sub rack, brings capacity density to the next level.
The Evo Controller 8200/RNC is built to handle the increased demand from smartphones, as well as laptops. With its compact and highly scalable capacity, it is the market's most efficient RNC. Ericsson will increase the functionality further with smart MBB functionality to utilize the radio resource in the most optimized way.
The Evo Controller 8200/MULTI provides the possibility to combine BSC, RNC and Wi-Fi controllers with a few common building blocks. Smart MBB capabilities can also be added into the same EvoC cabinet.
For CDMA networks, Ericsson delivers an all-IP base station controller for supporting voice, and a high-capacity network controller for EV-DO packet data.
The Evo Controller 8200 is built on future-proof hardware, giving it the highest capacity per footprint ratio on the market, along with low power consumption.
The Evo Controller 8200 gives operators a number of benefits:

Small biotechnology firms represent a unique national resource for economic growth that may be the fastest and most efficient mechanism to create technological innovation to convert cutting edge biomedical research into new technology breakthroughs and competitive new products. The NIH Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer(STTR) grant programs provide an opportunity for ALL key players in biomedical research to benefit. SBIR grants provide $850,000 (Phase I and II) or more and STTR grants provide $600,000 (Phase I and II) or more in research dollars to catalyze the commercialization of innovative projects that will benefit public health. Further, these grants offer company scientists an opportunity to pursue innovative projects for which company support may not be available, and they promote and foster partnerships with collaborators, including academic investigators. By serving as a collaborator, consultant, or principal investigator (for STTR), an academic investigator can gain long-term financial and scientific benefits. Collaboration with a company also offers access to company resources and expertise and possibly jobs for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. In a rapidly changing culture where research institutions are becoming more committed to innovation and entrepreneurship to enhance the economic development of their regions, NIH SBIR and STTR grants can add value to an academic institution's intellectual property. With rapidly expanding biological knowledge, even large corporations can develop only a limited number of promising lead ideas. Large pharmaceutical corporations often look to small biotechnology companies for the initial development of embryonic technology. Thus, the end of a successful project for a small biotechnology company is often the beginning of R&D for a large pharmaceutical corporation. NIH small business grants can help bridge the needs of both by providing early-stage funding for research that adds value to an idea, promoting partnerships that lead to a marketable product.

Decommission and Leverage of CCMS Update
On March 27, 2012, the Judicial Council voted to stop the deployment of CCMS V4 as a statewide technology project. The council directed the CCMS Internal Committee, in partnership with the trial courts, to develop timelines and recommendations to the Judicial Council to find other ways to use the CCMS technology and the state's investment in the software system, as well as develop new strategies to assist courts with failing case management systems.

Chrysler Sebring Electrical Problems
downhillracer Posts: 4
ecotec2009 Posts: 17What did you do to fix your Chrysler Sebring windshield wipers when they were stopping immediately(not finishing or parking to the bottom of the windshield when turning them off). Was it the windshield wiper switch on steering wheel column or was it the windshield wiper motor park switch that had to be replaced or what did you do to fix it? I have a 98 Sebring LXi and it is doing the same exact thing that you describe. I already replaced the wiper switch on the steering column with new part and still have the same problem and was hoping you could tell me what you did to fix your problem, only thing I knew next to do was replace the windshield motor for wipers. But was not sure if it was something else. Please reply.
mikeshembo Posts: 1All chrysler and dodge stratus with radio noises please do not spend a penny. simply clean all your battery terminal both and dont even waste time calling the dealer because they do not know their own cars the way they should. I worked on my car for 4 weeks and replace everything worth over $ 2000 to find the simple solution. please have fun and love your car again. As for me, no more chrysler for life. PLEASE PLEASE I DID ALL THE WORK FOR ALL OF YOU. I LITTELARY REPLACED EVERYTHING ON MY CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS DOING THIS. THE DEALER IS FULL OF SHHHHHHIT. THE POSITIVE POLL IS USUALLY THE ONEMAKING THE POPPING SOUND THRU THE SPEAKER. GOOD LUCK
smalltownboy Posts: 3i have the same dash configuration as you folks. taking it to the dealer will only end up costing needless money. after quite a bit of trouble shooting and pealing the dash apart many times. it is narrowed down to a small transformer ( converts 12v. to 60v.ac.) on the back of the circuit board in the cluster. after an easy 6mos. of monitoring with a tester always attached. i can say without a doubt it's the transformer that produces the intermittent problem with the blackouts. until you can find someone in your area that does this kind of electrical work. (like fixing neon beer signs) you can cheat by buying one of those little battery operated lights for clipping on a book when your reading. clip it to the ac. duct near the dash and aim it on the cluster. (how's that for redneck for you. my wife won't let me live that one down) please don't let the dealer scam you for a multi function switch.
happyrhodes Posts: 1Are the seat belts part of an electrical circuit? The under-passenger seat-infinity amp blew because of water flooding. Everything worked fine but the battery would drain out so we cut the power wire going to the amp. Not sure how soon after, could have been immediate - not sure, the seat belt wont loosen so my passenger can put it on. I wondered if the seat belt apparatus is part of an electrical circuit, if there are fuses, and so on. I sure would appreciate any advice and information. Thanks
Happy Rhodes. -
pastorphil Posts: 1Theses electrical problems started happening with my 2006 Chrysler Sebring, 4 door, one by one, over a period of two years:
1st. My automatic lock and lock control does not work on the driver side.
2nd. Some dahsboard lights (air, radio) would delay to come on.
3rd. The air blower only blows at highest setting.
4th. 20 Amp fuse to the ignition i dstarting to pop (twice in the past 6 month period). -
jbusc Posts: 11In September 2011, my 2001 Sebring Convertible had your problem #4 - First an independent mechanic installed an aftermarket starter thinking he had solved the problem but it continued. Then I brought it to a Chrysler Dealership and the shop foreman was able to replicate the problem, turns out the aftermarket starter was bad too! He replaced the started with an OEM starter and the problem was solved. (I returned the aftermarket starter to the independent mechanic for a full refund). Over two years later the 20 amp starter fuse has never blown again. (Knock on wood - No fuse has blown since.
Problem number 3 sounds like the blower resistor needs to be replaced, this is a fairly common problem on many vehicles which is easily fixed.
Best of luck with getting your Sebring's issues fixed. -

cm57 Posts: 1Mine did same thing. The problem was so simple that I couldnt believe it. At the drivers door theres the black switch that pushes in when door is closed, pops out when door opens. That thing was stuck and would sometimes pop out by itself, sometimes wouldnt. Anyway, I simply replaced it with another one from a junkyard. But, i could have also sprayed wd 40 on it and pushed it in and out over and over until it loosened itself up. But ever since then, those crazy intermittent lights coming on and off all by themselves is over.
As for the check engine light, what is the code? if its the dreaded p0440 or in that area, you can put fuel injector cleaner in the gas tank for the next 2 or 3 fill ups and that will end that cel issue. But you need to let us know the code why the cel light is on before we can actually give you any feedback. -
texrodeo Posts: 3My roomie has a 2002 Sebring Limited Convertible that he had purchased in August 2012 with at the time just over 64k on the digital clock. It now has just over 71k on it. Anyways a few months before this I had an electrical issue that looked like a burned wire somewhere and a puff of smoke under the drivers side engine compartment. I tightened up the loose remote ground on the strut Tower and everything was fine. Later on it did the same to him and he turned the car off and restarted and it was fine. Well about 2 weeks ago he went down to the doctors office and back and armed the security system like normal. I went out about an hour or so later to get the mail in, I happened to look in the car and the security light was not flashing. I open the door and there is No Odometer (It Now reads 0 miles on the clock) There is No dash response from the gauges and warning lights except for the E-Brake Light and Oil Pressure Light come On. I ran the Instrument cluster test with no Errors all working and It indicated "No DTCs", Also there is no Horn, Wipers, Dome Lights, Trunk Release, Power Door Locks/Keyless Entry, AC, Rear Defroster, Dash Light Illumination, Warning Lights, The Trip Computer indicates the Compass Heading but Nothing else, No Power Top or Heated Seats either.
Here is what is Working. The Car Starts and Seems to drive as Normal, I have as I said the E-Brake Light and the Oil Pressure Light on the Dash, The Power Windows, Outside Lights, Turn Signals and Hazards, Reverse Lights, Radio/AMP, Power Mirrors. The Transmission Indicator on the Dash.
I have Posted to every Blog known to man about this. I have Contacted the Dealer that wants $95 just to look at and Diagnose it and If there is Wire repair they will do it for that. But if there is more to it then the Price is More, and That Frightens me immensely when I live on a very fixed monthly income and so does the roomie. I even went as far as emailing Chrysler in order to point out how ridiculous this is at this age of vehicle and the low amount of miles. I also indicated that I never had these kind of issues with any other car including Japanese cars, especially; that I had ever owned and I had explained my financial situation. I then get this very cold form letter back praising their wonderful 5-Star Dealers and their perspective service departments and also the fact that I have no warranty on this vehicle. So No Help with anything thus far and I have an approximately 2500 lb. Paperweight in the driveway. I have Taken this car apart as best as I can with the limited tools and my limited knowledge of cars looking for an obvious frayed of burned wires that I could see. PC/MAC Repair Tech of more years than I care to count, I am. Car Mechanic I know enuff to be Very dangerous. If anyone has any Ideas, Please give me a Shout.

kyjones64 Posts: 3The engine will not even crank over. I jumped the battery and still not cranking, figured it was the starter so me n my brother removed the starter (Pain in the butt) took it to a rebuild shop and it tested fine. Put the starter back on and still won't turn over. My brother kept trying to start it when all of the sudden WHAM!!! IT STARTED!!! I let it idle for a while, hopped in and drove her for a bit, returned home and shut it off, cranked her again and it started, shut it off and cranked it again and ............. click!!. That was two days ago as of this note. I have checked fuses under the hood and in car and all are fine. I did the engine diagnostic thing where you turn the key on/off 3 times and get a reading of P 05 13. Can anyone shine a little light on this for me and maybe see if this code has anything to do with my problem? I would be so thankful if you can help. Thank you
kyjones64 Posts: 3Hey thank you Tex that gives me something to check out. I forgot to mention that when I was trying to start it the other day the horn started honking like the panic button had been activated on the key fob. Gonna check and see if the transmitter for the anti-theft system is faulty. Thanks again I appreciate your help!
taz0729 Posts: 2Here is one for you guys. I have a 2000 Sebring Convertible, I went out to start it and nothing happened. All that happens is the mileage and the P-R-N-D shows up on the instrument panel, up but no accessories turn on or any of the warning lights or radio come on. The battery is fully charged. I also turned the headlights on and tried to start it and the lights didnt dim. it is blowing the starter fuse in the fuse cluster under the hood. What is the cause of this problem? I need to know because I really dont want to take it to a shop if it is something I can fix. Please help.... Thanks

ahemaveridali Posts: 197 Sebring Convertible - please help!
Hi, anyone know why when I turn my headlights on, my whole dash will go dead? My mileage and rpm haven't worked since I've got the car. I read that thoes are out because of the chip behind the dash. But when I got the car that wasn't an issue with me. My issue is the speedometer and gas gage go dead after a little while when I turn my headlights on. It used to just send the speedometer needle in a twitch hovering over the speed I was going. Now everything goes dead. I already replaced the battery. Someone told me when the battery is dieing that car electronics can do funny things like that. Why is my speedometer going out and what will it take to fix? -
deleeuwb Posts: 12005 Sebring Convertible
I am really stumped with this one. I have no electric trunk release, I can only open it with the key! It worked fine than one day nothing! It will not work with either key fob or from the dash (I know the key needs to be on for the dash release to work but still nothing) I have checked relays, fuses, and the wiring running into the trunk deck and have found nothing. Any ideas?

Upon her visit to Kutztown, Benson fell in love with the "home-away-from-home feel" and felt drawn to the school with its great reputation in educating future educators.
As soon as the early education major made the commitment to Kutztown, she wasted no time in becoming involved in extracurricular campus life. She immediately joined sorority Phi Sigma Sigma, which has been one of her fondest engagements at KU. Read more
How many university presidents invite entire student organizations to their home for dinner?
For Kristine Hernandez, a junior clinical psychology major and Presidential Ambassador, dining with KU's president was one of the highlights of her undergraduate experience. Read more
Kutztown University junior Cameron Lipnicky's love for everything athletics was the foundation for his selection of two majors: leisure and sport studies and business administration. Read more
Tabetha Super has a passion for science. She found that the Biology/Pre-Med track at Kutztown University perfectly fit her desire to learn how to help people. Her participation on the women's rugby team has helped her be a leader and even gave her a chance to put some of her academic skills to work. Now, she's on her way to becoming a chiropractor.

With every class taken, internship completed, club participated in, conference attended and connection made, Electronic Media major Steve Maugeri is making huge strides in the right direction toward his dream of becoming a sports broadcaster. KU's abundance of opportunity both within and outside of the Electronic Media program has been invaluable to the senior. "That's the beauty of this major as a whole, you can get involved. The classes teach you requisite skills in Electronic Media. The clubs teach you the nature of the business." Read more
When Derrick Taylor first arrived at Kutztown University, he observed an array of opportunity and experiences laid out before him. He shed himself of reserve and eagerly made his way through open doors. A passionate political science major, Taylor has sharpened his leadership skills, not only through his major, but through involving himself in campus organizations, such as ACE and BSU. He also has been a fundamental part in the development of a Kutztown chapter of the NAACP.
"The first thing I saw at Kutztown was opportunity," recalls Taylor. "The staff and faculty won't let you fail. They'll push you to your limit and then increase your limit and push you further. You are somebody. It's a loving environment here. You can come here and draw your own picture. That's why I chose KU." Read more
The buzz of energy surging through the geology program in the Department of Physical Sciences is enthralling. Margariete Malenda needed to be a part of it. With steadfast eagerness and curiosity, it was not long before Malenda went from investigating in labs to presenting research findings at major seminars. As a junior undergraduate student, Malenda has been heavily involved in research, which drew the enthusiastic praise of professional geoscientists and academics from all over the world recently at a conference in Vancouver. Malenda's success proves that Kutztown University students can brilliantly shine at any educational level or program of study. Read more.

Video games are a lot like the holidays--long-anticipated, and potentially disappointing. Some of the most hyped titles of the year have finally arrived, but are they worth $50, $60, even close to $200 each? Here are our picks for the games you need, and you ones you need to put down, then slowly walk away from.
Buy It No 1.: Mass Effect
Platform: Xbox 360 | Developer: BioWare | Publisher: MicrosoftThere are games you show your nongaming friends--like a few minutes of Halo 3, or a few hours of Rock Band. But when you've happily shunned fresh air, sunlight, and nondeliverable food for a week straight, you're playing the gamer's equivalent of heroin--a long, dorky role-playing game. And this month, you'll be sprawled in unwashed darkness because of Mass Effect, the best RPG to ever hit a console.
The story, a galaxy-spanning (literally--there's a massive 3D star map that you navigate through) sci-fi epic that finally lives up to the term "epic." Some of the themes and species are familiar, such as a Borg-like machine race and Jedi-esque psychic powers. But the sheer scope of the story, as well as the genuinely disturbing choices you're forced to make (such as whether to allow genocide on one planet, in the hopes of winning the larger war), are real breakthroughs. And unlike past BioWare RPGs (e.g., the landmark Knights of the Old Republic) the combat feels like combat, instead of a shell for the Dungeons & Dragons-era dice-rolling mechanics cranking along behind the scenes. Like Bioshock, this is as much an action game as it is character-development Shangri-La, and the best unproductive week you'll have all year.
• TOP 10: Best Games From E3 2007
Buy It No 2.: Rock Band
Platforms: PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 | Developer: Harmonix | Publisher: MTV GamesIf you haven't played Rock Band, you don't get to talk about how expensive it is. Sure, it might cost around $200 for the full set of controllers--two guitars, a drum set and a mic--but this isn't just another game. Think of Rock Band as a rock-and-roll console, and the quickest way to start a party. Forget expensive karaoke booths, forget Wii Bowling and forget Guitar Hero. Rock Band is one of gaming's few transcendent experiences, where the gameplay--hitting the right buttons, the right notes and the right drumpads--feels like the real thing.
And the singing and drums practically are the real thing, forcing serious players to take the escapist fantasy even further, and do what actual drummers and vocalists do: practice. Already, Rock Band is changing the dynamics of party games, with players begging anyone with even a modicum of drumming or singing talent for an encore, and another, and finally for an unspoken permanent spot in the otherwise rotating band. In most crowded games, being good means being despised. In Rock Band, you're the star.

Buy It No 3.: Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Platforms: Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 | Developer: Harmonix | Publisher: ActivisionFinally, a modern-day tactical shooter that isn't drowning in implausible comic-book gadgets or military propaganda. That's not to say Call of Duty 4 is a triumph of nuanced plot and character development (the story line is full of Tom Clancy-style convolutions), but it's smart enough to recognize what's so interesting--and terrifying--about present-day warfare.
With no heads-up displays or omniscient drones, the battles are fluid and nerve-wracking. Friendly fire is more common than you'd expect. Night vision doesn't work all that well. And with no squad members to command or experimental weapons to rely on, you're often left with no options but to start firing--or, more often, to simply hide. That might not sound like fun, but after wandering through shooter after unengaging shooter, a little mid-firefight panicking goes a long way.
• TOP 5: Best Shooting Games From E3 2007
Buy It No 4.: Super Mario Galaxy
Platform: Wii | Developer: Nintendo | Publisher: NintendoWe thought it was the best game on the Wii back before the console was launched, and in successive hands-on previews, it hasn't really changed. But it's still the best game on the Wii, and a psychedelic reinvention of the platform genre, sending Mario whipping through space to conquer a host of strangely thrilling mini-planets and mini-bosses.
And by relying on stellar art direction, Super Mario Galaxy deftly sidesteps the Wii's less-than-muscular graphics hardware. In fact, the game might just be the perfect Wii title, with a balanced mix of accurate motion-sensing and old-fashioned Mario acrobatics.
• TOP 10: Best Games From E3 2007
Buy It No 5.: GameFly
Our final suggestion isn't a game at all, but a wake-up call. Gaming is one of the most shamelessly sleazy, addiction-enabling industries on the planet. The games are wildly overpriced ($60 for one you can often beat in 10 hours), the stores concoct devious trade (in schemes to make your weekly fix seem discounted), and gaming magazines and Web sites make every upcoming big-budget release seem like the must-have title of the year. But how many games do you come back to, month after month? So the question is: Why are you still buying games?
With the rare exception of a truly great multiplayer game, such as Halo 3 or Rock Band, most games should be rented for a week or two. We included the Netflix-style service GameznFlix in last year's holiday gift guide, gambling that its selection of both movies and games would expand. We lost that bet, so our advice this holiday season? Stick with the biggest gaming rental service available, GameFly. We've tried it for the last few months, and it's faster than anyone else (around two days to deliver a new game) and has an encyclopedic selection of titles. For $23 a month, you can have two games out at a time--they're shipped free to your home, and you can send them back whenever you're done. So if you're a serious (meaning, perhaps, unemployed) gamer, it's an incredible deal, letting you play eight or 10 games every month. It's also the only way to preview games before buying, which you can also do through GameFly, simply paying to keep the title you already have rented. If gamers wise up, this service will become as popular as Netflix, and the GameStops and even Best Buys of the world will be forced to come up with their own competing rental services.
Skip It No 1.: Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock
Platform: PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox 360 | Developer: Neversoft Entertainment | Publisher: RedOctaneThis is clearly a good game. But is the world, or your house/apartment/unfinished basement, big enough for Rock Band and Guitar Hero? Rock Band does everything Guitar Hero does, only better, and with more players, and less Slash.
That's right, we're throwing down the gauntlet: Who, in 2007, still cares about Slash? After Slash himself has said in interviews that Guitar Hero is nothing like playing guitar, who needs him? Throw in the completely zany Battle mode (because what guitarist hasn't been forced to suddenly play upside down, or fix a broken string midsolo?), and Guitar Hero is actually a half step backwards--more of a nerdy video game than its predecessors, and nowhere near as cool as the party-starting Rock Band.
Skip It No 2.: Assassin's Creed
Platform: Nintendo DS, PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 | Developer: Ubisoft | Publisher: Ubisoft MontrealAfter years of hype from both gaming and mainstream press (and we're no exception) with Ubisoft developers promising a new standard in artificial intelligence and interactive environments, Assassin's Creed is upon us. And it's kind of boring, extremely clunky and, worst of all, short. The brilliant premise, which puts you in the shoes of a fanatic insurgent assassin, killing your way through a teeming Crusades-era Middle Eastern city, nose dives into a standard, wince-worthy plotline.
But worst of all, the very breakthroughs Ubisoft touted--gameplay and AI--are the game's biggest problems. The game play is grinding and repetitive, and your enemies are dumb--far dumber than in many older, previous-gen stealth games. Assassin's Creed isn't terrible, it's just more of the same, and a black eye for an entire hype-obsessed industry.
Skip It No 3.: Clive Barker's Jericho
Platform: PC, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 | Developer: MercurySteam | Publisher: CodeMastersIf anyone can make the zombie hordes of Halo 3 look quaint, it's Clive Barker. Too bad this gory-but-uninspired first-person shooter sticks you in hallway after hallway, politely launching wacky monsters into your line of fire. Instead of being reduced to a gibbering lunatic by the genuinely disturbing beasties slapping toward you, most of your time is spent watching your squadmates get themselves killed, resurrect each other and then do it all over again.
The entire squad concept is tacked onto this run-and-gun Quake redux and is especially irrelevant--and at times hilarious--considering the lack of enemy tactics. Also, you have spells and stuff, which only really matter when the plot requires them. Although not as hyped as Assassin's Creed, this is another talked-about game that casts doubt on the entire notion of pre-release "buzz."
Skip It No 4.: Ghost Squad
Platform: Wii | Developer: Sega | Publisher: SegaJoin us, as we journey to a bygone age, an era when graphics were "minimalist," and video-game developers assumed that terrorists wear lots of primary colors, and the games themselves were simply not very good. Ghost Squad, one of the few titles that works with the new Wii Zapper, is a failed light-gun throwback.
Blowing away slow-moving, terrible-looking bad guys might inspire nostalgia among the truly desperate--there aren't many console shooters in the world, after all--but for the rest of us, it's a repetitive self-parody, and boasts some of the worst motion-sensing we've seen on the Wii. If it was bundled free with the Zapper, Ghost Squad might have been passable. But as a stand-alone game, it's barely a punch line.
Skip It No 5.: Wii Zapper
Platform: Wii | Developer: NintendoIn fact, avoid the Zapper altogether this holiday season. This inexpensive ($20) controller-housing unit has serious promise, but the Wii's third-party motion-sensing issues are particularly glaring when you can aim right at the middle of the TV, sight down the barrel of your gun and then wonder why the cross hairs are sitting in the corner of the screen.
The Zelda-themed game that comes with the Zapper is more accurate (no surprise--it's a first-party title), but it's way too brief to hold you over until someone gets motion-sensing gunplay right.

Updated: June 23, 2013 12:39AM
Jonathan Toews was stuck on the bench, cracking a stray joke here and there but unsuccessfully lobbying Joel Quenneville to give him a shift as he dealt with the apparent after-effects of a devastating hit by Boston's Johnny Boychuk. Marian Hossa was on the ice, but still clearly not at 100 percent, mustering one shot on goal in a quiet game. Patrick Sharp was buzzing once again, but was snakebitten — one shot going off the side of the net, one shot stopped in spectacular fashion, one shot sailing just wide.
So it fell to Patrick Kane to get the Blackhawks to the brink of a championship.
Just the way he likes it.
Kane scored two goals and the Blackhawks held on for a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins in Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final on Saturday night. The win puts the Hawks on the brink of their second championship in four seasons, and they'll have their first chance to hoist the Stanley Cup on Monday night in Boston's TD Garden.
"Everyone wants to be that guy in big-time games," Kane said. "And I've been lucky enough in a couple to step up."
It was Kane who scored the Cup-winning goal in Philadelphia in 2010. It was Kane who had a hat trick, including the overtime winner, to eliminate the Kings last round. And it was Kane who decided the crucial Game 5 Monday night at the United Center as carnage and uncertainty reigned all around him.
Toews never left the bench in the third, but Quenneville said he was "hopeful" he'd play in Game 6. Meanwhile, Boston's Patrice Bergeron — like Toews, an indispensable, Selke-caliber two-way center — was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for observation after suffering an undisclosed injury after skating less than a minute in the second period. He walked to the ambulance under his own power.
Before Toews was obliterated from behind by Boychuck while coming across the low slot on a spectacular move to the net — a borderline hit the league was looking at as of Saturday night — the Hawks captain, along with his linemates Kane and Bryan Bickell, continued their strong play from Game 4. As promised, they stopped deferring to Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara and took the action to him. Chara was on the ice and Toews got an assist on both of Kane's goals — a nifty tuck-in of a Johnny Oduya rebound late in the first period, and a chip-in of a Bickell wrap-around rebound early in the second. Chara has now been on the ice for seven of the last eight Hawks' goals.
Chara got a bit of redemption with a goal early in the third period as the Bruins applied relentless pressure, but Corey Crawford (24 saves) and the Hawks defense did what they couldn't do in Game 4 — shut the door.
Toews said after Game 4 that the Hawks had been showing Chara too much "respect," raising the hackles of some of the Bruins and the Boston media. But the Hawks said it was just a matter of dictating play, rather than having it dictated to them. Even with the last line change at home, Quenneville kept sending the top line out against Chara.
"I didn't look at it as being disrespectful; I think there is a fine line between respectful and being overly respectful," defenseman Duncan Keith said. "We've got to play our game. We've done that the last couple of games a little bit more."
As a result, the Hawks have turned a 2-1 series deficit into a 3-2 series lead. And now comes the restless sleep. Now come the wandering thoughts, the tantalizing visions and possibilities that are so close, so within reach.
One goal. Just one win away.
"This is what you work for, this opportunity," Kane said. "We've got to seize the moment and take advantage of it."

Cancer 'Bomb' Causes Some Friends to FleeThe LLS Blog
15 January 2015
You may have seen the article today in U.S. News & World Report featuring Doug Olson, 68, who is a survivor of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) thanks to a remarkable experimental therapy.
Doug is an active volunteer with LLS's Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter, working to ensure laws are in place so blood cancer patients have access to the therapies they need.
As the U.S. News & World Report story imparts, Doug was himself fortunate to gain access to an innovative breakthrough therapy advanced with support from LLS at a time when his doctors gave him less than two years to live. Now more than four years later, he remains in remission.
He was diagnosed in 1996 with CLL and after six years of watchful waiting – a common protocol for patients of this slow-moving leukemia - he began to require chemotherapy treatments which helped keep him in remission for another five years. But eventually the chemotherapy stopped working and he was told his only option was a bone marrow transplant, something he was reluctant to undertake because of the high risk.
Then, in 2010, his oncologist, David Porter, M.D., at University of Pennsylvania, who is the principal investigator of a clinical trial testing an experimental personalized gene therapy called CAR-T immunotherapy, got him enrolled in the trial. We've written many times about this therapy and the role LLS has played in supporting its early development in the lab and in early clinical trials, in this blog, such as here and here. LLS funds a research team led by Carl June, M.D., at Penn, and Porter is one of June's collaborators.
The CAR process requires extracting T cells from the blood of a patient and outfitting them with two powerful features: a receptor on the cell surface that recognizes the CD19 protein present on most leukemic cells, and a powerful mechanism inside the cell that triggers it to expand and proliferate once attached to the targeted protein. With these engineered features, the T cells are injected back into the patient to hunt and then destroy cancer cells. The FDA has given the approach Breakthrough Therapy Designation. The immunotherapy is still in clinical trials but to date, 90 percent of acute lymphoblastic (ALL) patients, and 50 percent of CLL patients in the trials experienced a complete response to the treatment.
"It was a gift," he says of his successful outcome. "It was a chance to live. And I would not be alive today if it hadn't been for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society and their investment in this research."
Doug says he recalls the day that Dr. Porter came to his hotel room to deliver the news. "I still get chills," he says. "He was telling me there was a good chance I was going to be ok."
Four and a half years later, and still no signs of cancer cells. We are truly inspired by Doug's story and grateful to our donors who helped us advance one of the most promising new therapies of the century.
Please consider helping us to continue advancing these types of innovative, live-saving therapies. Click here to donate now.

Our gang of painters had a picnic with the great light!
But don't you know..the last day of the workshop, the fog came in on big cat feet and washed everything in a blanket of neutrals, grays. The sun went on strike.
Everyday we went to a different site and that day we moved out towards the lighthouse at Porte Clyde - here is our assigned view. Teacher David Dewey always begins the session with an hour and a half demonstration, to guide us stranded acolytes into the way of watercolor (Thank Gawd!)
We'd been talking about painting atmospherically all week and boy did we get plenty of atmosphere that day! David lays down "a mingled mid-valued blanket of color" on the paper first. After the ground wash dries (with the help of a hair dryer inside), David proceeds to lay on top the elements of the landscape - always "reducing it down to a simple snapshot...an economical framework" of what's in front of us.
I was feeling overwhelmed by all that mist and pulled out my Winslow Homer book...
My Homer Value Study,SOLD 9" x 11"
...and did an atmospheric value study to warm up.
Misty Maine, original watercolor, 9" x 11"
Then I got up the courage to plunge into the mist!
This is David's palette - always a soup of mingled color that always comes out brilliant after it dries on the paper.
And this is Windslow Homer's palette from the exhibit, The Color of Light at the Chicago Art institute.
