The tapes were a revelation. While some boardmembers seemed genuinely torn between the two buyers, others had been almost contemptuous of the park proposal from the start — treating it, at best, like a loonbag cause, to be humored only until something serious came along. In particular, board president Bill Van Gieson and member Arlan Van Ry, both military veterans who now work for construction companies, had inveighed heavily against the project.
In a meeting last March — evidently the first time that Russell's interest in the property became known to the board — Van Gieson and Van Ry can be heard agreeing that "this TPL thing" (the park proposal) is "kind of a long shot."
Over the next two months, as the discussion becomes more detailed, their enthusiasm for Russell's RV park is obvious. They seem convinced that the project will stimulate the local economy, while describing the healthy living park as a venture with uncertain financing, a "donation" that will burden the city with ongoing maintenance costs.
"One way to look at it," Van Ry comments at an April meeting, "[Russell] develops this thing, puts in a four- or five-million-dollar RV park, our property taxes may go up and we're going to start making money on it for the school district...compared to donating it to some free-thinking nonprofit, and we'll never get a penny off it for the next hundred years."
"There is a lot to consider," Van Gieson agrees. "It's like Arlan's saying, it could actually generate revenue. Whereas, you know, this garden thing, that's not gonna generate anything.... Just a bunch of hippies from Crestone.... It would be the summer campground for La Puente." He then reminds the board that the school district had already okayed a community garden at another elementary school: "Shit, we gave them property over there at the school."
"They want more money from us to maintain a free piece of property," Van Ry says, drawing laughter from the board.
In subsequent executive sessions, Van Ry again rails against selling the land to a nonprofit: "Do we have any more La Puente free gifts out there?" He jokes about being "worried about marijuana plants being put there" if the garden boosters buy the property.
Van Giesen scoffs at the notion that the healthy living park, with its botanic gardens and trails and local-foods restaurant, would be any kind of tourist draw: "I don't think this garden thing is gonna attract people.... Why would you want to come to Alamosa to see this garden? You can drive all over the valley and see fields."
As the weeks dragged on, the constant carping about the park proposal's reputed drawbacks seems to have swayed members who'd been on the fence. "I'd love to sell that land for 750,000 [dollars], but it's pie-in-the-sky," says board secretary Christine Haslett in one of the final sessions before the vote. "We don't know what that's actually going to look like. That may be an eyesore. It may be something that's started and never finished."
Even though Russell's offer was substantially lower, boardmembers seemed to have a preference for a "cash up front" deal, rather than waiting months for TPL to line up its grants. (Russell would later disclose that he'd obtained a $495,000 loan from a local bank at advantageous terms, which meant he only had to present 1 percent of the purchase price from his own funds at closing.) But many of the board's objections to the TPL plan seemed to be gross distortions. The funding would take time, but the prospects for such funding were hardly "pie-in-the-sky." Title in the property would be held by the city or county, not La Puente or any other nonprofit. The concept was not simply a garden but a vast array of amenities, including several for-profit enterprises, such as the restaurant and commercial kitchen, that were designed to be self-supporting and defray maintenance costs.
Tim Wohlgenant, the Colorado state director for TPL, says concerns about the long-term viability of the project would have been addressed as different elements were implemented over several years: "That was something we were just going to have to work out over time. It was not going to be an easy project. There were a lot of moving parts."
Wohlgenant says his organization typically has a piece of property under contract before granters will consider a request for funding, leaving a gap of several months before the closing can occur. "There aren't any great examples around the country of projects like this," he observes. "This would have been cutting-edge — several nonprofits partnering not only to create a public-access park but a community food-distribution system. That's why we needed a year [to secure funding]. But if you want to do something cutting-edge, you have to take a risk. It would really take a partnership, and the school board wasn't ready to do that."
It wasn't exactly a surprise to learn that the board was wary of such a partnership. But what the Keep Polston Public group found most startling about the recordings was the extent to which a private citizen had played a central role in the sale discussions. Preston Porter runs a real-estate company in Alamosa and represented the school district on the recent sales of several properties, including Polston. In the executive sessions, he describes the healthy living park as "sort of a crap shoot," a project that "has about a 20 percent chance of happening." He complains that TPL had suggested that he forgo part of his commission to make the deal more viable — a common request in public-land deals, Wohlgenant says — and warns the board that the group would be "hitting everybody up" for funds.
wow, It is really interesting Clara Bush
It appears to me the existing RV parks, such as the one in Ft. Garland are not bringing in revenue, but slim shady tenants. Why add another?
Again and again, fascinating articles by Mr. Prendergast.
This one was compelling, because it clearly described both sides of this complicated issue.
I went back and forth between thinking the local food concept was great, to thinking the Board made the right decision selling to a businessman.
A local garden with land this valuable: a concept that may never work and that will probably never make money. I look at the Community Gardens in Denver and Englewood and see the obvious inefficiency and absurdity. If this model could work, farmers would be tearing down houses and local farmers would be rich. Alas, the cost of these gardens is never logical or productive. Even with free land they barely produce enough to pay for the water used in the production of the 10 mini-crops that feed just a few, for just a few weeks. If this were productive, everyone would have a producing garden in their yard. Only Government subsidies give this a chance to work, and then the business model is one that is not revenue producing for the local government.
And then, to see the Board sell this land for such a low price, with the topsoil alone worth the purchase price, is quite disturbing. What a deal that guy got. Wow. It reminds me of the old Resolution Trust deals where only the rich could buy and benefit from the low prices. All of this based on one appraisal. And the deal: 1% down on a commercial loan!!! That is a heck of a lender, but also a strong sign that the property was undervalued and the bank loaning the money knows it.
All of this over nearly vacant land in a difficult economy.
In the end, it takes a businessman to take a property like this and turn it into something of value. Governments cannot do it. A local garden, even 30 acres, would not help Alamosa. The tax revenue from the new business will.
So many questions. Such a thought provoking article.
Great work.

I grew up in the SLV and it's sad that this story doesn't surprise me at all. The Valley is an amazing place but the fact of the matter is that it is about 20 years behind the times. The "Valley bubble" that natives who've left so often joke about is very real and this is a perfect example of it. There's good reason why many SLV natives leave, myself included, and it's because of the backwards, antiquated thinking that plagues the region. Sad to see that a fantastic idea of a healthy living space was scraped for a paved black tar resort for Texans.
I'm not sad I left Alamosa at all. I grew up there, and it is one of the most shadily run deal-with-people-in-the-back-room towns I've ever had the displeasure of living in. If it doesn't involve lining the pockets of the legacy families that live in the town, nobody's interested. And I also learned from this article that a prick cousin of mine growing up is now on the school board. Neat. Another reason never to go back.
gardens are stupid, pave everything! alamosa needs a mcdonalds and starbucks there duh
by the way.. Alamosa has built in tourist attractions not to mention a really good college... if that town is having money problems to the point where the school district needs to sell the land for something like an RV park eyesore... then that is bad city management...
That is sad... it's disgusting how greed will trump common sense or community and civil loyalty.. oh that's right... I forgot .....
@Randy144 I agree with you Randy, if it were just a garden there wouldn't be much economic potential, but this quote from his other piece sheds more light on the project: "What is a healthy living park? The Alamosa version, which would have been developed around a thriving community garden next to the Rio Grande river, called for trails connecting the area to an existing park on the other side of the river; a botanic garden and area for live music; half-acre farm plots in the rich topsoil that could be used for feeding local families and teaching sustainable methods to aspiring farmers; a commercial kitchen for small-batch bakers and chefs; a farm-fresh restaurant and production greenhouse; and more. Think park, small business incubator, and farmer's market, all rolled into one." Keep in mind that we don't have a farm-to-table restaurant anywhere near Alamosa, there is a huge demand for one.

The lawsuit comes one day after Ramsey County prosecutors said they wouldn't charge members of the archdiocese for the way they handled allegations against Wehmeyer because there was insufficient evidence to prove anyone failed to immediately report the abuse. Wehmeyer pleaded guilty in 2012 and is serving a five-year prison sentence.

FAMILY TABLE: End of the year means change is in the air
SugarBaker's phasing itself out; new Peasant Village executive chef is in
Peasant Village
Where: 23 S. Park St.
Hours: Lunch — 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday-Friday
Dinner — 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesday-Saturday
Contact: 325-655-4811 for reservations
SugarBaker's Kitchen Emporium
Where: 1821 Knickerbocker Road
Contact: 325-949-7222
November has ended and we had to say a goodbye of sorts to two San Angelo culinary traditions. But, we also had a hello.
Owner Kristen Oliver announced SugarBaker's Kitchen Emporium at 1821 Knickerbocker Road, the specialty kitchen-focused store, is closing.
"We appreciate San Angelo and our customers support for the last 20 years," Oliver said. "We couldn't have done it without them." But it's time for a change, she added.
Oliver started the business while she was a student at Angelo State University. Eighteen-hour semesters and running the business turned into marriage, three children and running a business.
"Retail is changing and it's a lot harder for mom and pop stores," she said. "Also, my children are in elementary school, junior high and high school. They grow up so fast and I want to spend more time with my family."
She hopes to close SugarBaker's by the end of the year, but said it will stay open until all the remaining merchandise is gone.
"I have learned a ton from the business and met a lot of wonderful people," Oliver said.
Also, Peasant Village has a new executive chef at the helm. Chef and owner Jason Helfer gave quite a few San Angeloans a scare by announcing the news on Facebook. He had to follow up with: No, Peasant Village is not closing, it's not for sale and yes, it's open for business as usual ... so go eat.
"I have a family in Australia and I have a viable restaurant for San Angelo to enjoy." Jason wants the best of both worlds and is working to make it happen. "When you have a great staff, anything is possible."
This is where Ishma Parker, the new executive chef comes in. Jason met Ishma at H-E-B, they started talking. That led to a job offer.
"I was looking for a quality chef who had the passion and energy to be head chef," Jason said. So they spent several months working together in the kitchen and learning the Peasant Village menu and style. Jason introduced regular diners to Ishma and let them judge his food. He received enthusiastic approval.
Ishma, a graduate of Le Cordon Bleu in Austin, said the "faithfuls" or fan-favorite dishes will remain on the menu while he introduces new twists and explores challenging directions. He plans to refresh the menu every two weeks and introduce new items.
Cooking is a family thing for Ishma, who is from San Angelo. His father, also a chef, once worked with Wolfgang Puck. "When I was 14 years old, my father had to work on Thanksgiving, so he left instructions and I cooked the entire meal for our family by myself," Ishma said.
Ishma tried out other types of work, but found himself returning over and over to his cooking roots. "The older I got, I realized it wasn't about the money anymore. I just wanted to do what I enjoyed," he said. "I want to put a smile on people's faces. I want them to say it's the best thing they have eaten. I cook from the heart."
While Ishma hopes to offer a Peasant Village weekend brunch at some point, Jason hopes to ultimately have a Peasant Village in Australia. "I have to be in Australia to make it happen," Jason said. "But I will be coming back to San Angelo because it's still my home and I have family here as well."
"I'm blessed to have the life I have."

Recipe for a slow cooker: Creamy Caramelized Onion Pasta
Let the slow cooker do most of the work to create this Creamy Caramelized Onion Pasta.
AP Food Editor
When it comes to weeknight dinners, sometimes the shortest route is the long way around.
Which is to say, letting the slow cooker chug away while you are away often is the fastest and easiest way to get a great dinner on the table during your evening rush.
My only complaint about slow cooker recipes is that too many of them require either too much planning or too much prepping (and sometimes cooking) of ingredients before they go into the cooker. I want recipes that let me dump stuff in, then walk away and forget about it until dinner.
So that's what I came up with for this simple, but over-the-top-good pasta recipe. You let the slow cooker perfectly caramelize a whole mess of onions while you are at work for the day. When you come home, you toss those with a few other ingredients and in the time it takes you to boil pasta, you have dinner.
A food processor is the easiest way to slice this volume of onions. And you also could do that the night before, then bag them and toss them in the refrigerator until the next morning so all you have to do is empty them into the slow cooker and walk away.
As for the sun-dried tomatoes and arugula... I went with what I like. But improvise according to your family's tastes. Creamy Caramelized Onion Pasta
(this recipe uses a slow cooker)
Start to finish: 6 to 8 hours
Make 8 servings
3 pounds yellow onions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound fettuccine pasta
1 container (8-ounce) creme fraiche
1 container (5-ounce) arugula
1 cup thinly sliced sun-dried tomatoes
Salt and ground black pepper
1. In a large slow cooker, combine the onions and olive oil. Stir well to coat, then cover and cook on high for 6 to 8 hours, or until well browned and caramelized.
2. When the onions are done, bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions. Drain, then return to the pot. Add the onions, creme fraiche, arugula and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir over medium heat until the arugula just begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

When Rebecca Combs, 17, sits down to take a test in her favorite class, Advanced Placement biology, shes not just focusing on writing the correct answers.
Because she has cerebral palsy, Rebecca also must concentrate on keeping herself upright in her seat.
If she doesnt, her body will often lean to the left. When I write, I use my left hand as a paperweight basically, because I cant really do anything with it, said Rebecca, a senior at Providence High and one of six North Carolina students to be nominated by the state superintendent for the U.S. Presidential Scholars program.
The six were chosen for maintaining academic excellence while overcoming major obstacles.
Cerebral palsy varies in type and severity. Its an umbrella term for a neurological disorder that permanently affects the part of the brain that controls body movement and muscle coordination, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
I dont have intelligence or speech issues, Rebecca said. I consider myself lucky.
Her condition hasnt stopped her from making every effort to excel in academics and to have a normal teenage life.
Rebecca will graduate with 15 honors classes and three AP classes, and presently has a 4.0 grade point average. And she loves going to the movies with her friends, shopping at Forever 21 and blasting the volume to her favorite One Direction songs.
If shes one of 141 students named as 2013 U.S. Presidential Scholars nationally individual schools nominate other candidates based on test scores and arts achievements shell receive a medallion and a trip to Washington, D.C., in June to meet President Barack Obama.
Rebecca has to work much harder than her peers to complete everyday tasks from tying her shoes to walking through doors.
A typical morning begins at 5:15 a.m. to be ready when the bus comes at 6:10. Rebecca would sleep later, but it takes her extra time to get dressed and eat breakfast. She showers at night to save time in the morning.
Shes learned to dress herself and is proud of being able to manage her accessories, too. I can do the belt one-handed, which is a trick. Its difficult, she said.
When the bus arrives, she goes outside with her metallic blue walker, then has a classmate fold it up and carry it onto the bus. She grips the railing, pulls herself up the steps and slides into the front seat.
Thats all before the day has really begun. But through it all, Rebecca keeps a smile on her face.
Theres something about that beautiful smile that you latch onto, said Andrea Wise, her AP biology teacher.
Her positive attitude radiates over you, said Pamela Mann, Providences media specialist.
Rebecca has had several surgeries and once had to spend a summer in a body cast. But she made all of that easy, said her mother, Susan Combs. She doesnt complain about the pain after surgery or the soreness after therapy or the extra time it takes to do this, that and the other. I get to stand by and watch her be successful.
Rebeccas already been admitted to the University of Alabamas honors program, and shes waiting to hear back from her parents alma mater, Wake Forest.
She loves working behind the desk at the school library. Shes sung in her school choir since seventh grade but had to give it up this year because her schedule was too busy. She co-teaches religious education to second-graders with her mom at St. Gabriel Catholic Church.
Id definitely say faith is important to me, she said. My mom always says, God only gives the hardest struggles to people who can handle it, and thats what I think about whenever Im feeling down on myself.
Every Saturday after sleeping in, of course Rebecca goes to therapeutic horseback riding sessions at Weddingtons Misty Meadows Mitey Riders program. Shes been riding since she was 4.
But while she loves horses, what Rebecca has really been wanting to do is drive. Everybody else drives. I was going to do whatever it took to drive. She passed drivers ed with flying colors but had to wait two years to get permission from the state to use hand controls in the car.
Rebecca will soon experience another first when she goes shopping for a prom dress. It wasnt until last years Sadie Hawkins dance that she began enjoying school dances; her friends had her ditch the walker and danced together in their seats. I felt like I was being included, she said.
Rebecca said it can be frustrating when people feel sorry for her or regard her as an outcast.
Everybodys different. I think people dont really realize that they live in their little bubble, and when they see people outside of what theyre used to seeing, all of a sudden its weird or not normal for somebody to talk with lisps or walk differently than they do, she said. People have to be open and understand there are other people out there not like them in the world.

The Federation - It's Whateva
Production: Rick Rock
Lead Single: Happy I Met You
Avg Rating: 2.3 ( 3 votes )
If I said DJBooth's traffic is busier than the 405 at rush hour, only my L.A. people would...
DJBooth Album Review
The Federation have answered that question with the release of their second album It's Whateva, a movie length work with mass appeal that still holds true to their roots. For production work The Federation rely solely on Rick Rock, the man primarily responsible for the hyphy sound, and the album is as much a testament to Rock's crushingly intricate production talent as it is The Federation's kinetic rhyme style. If the Bay was waiting for one album they could proudly play anywhere in the country, It's Whateva, but will kids outside of California really want to get 18 dummy?
The aforementioned 18 Dummy (a.k.a. getting drunk on 1800 tequila) has been a hyphy classic since its first skittering notes hits the airwaves. The Federation's MCs Doonie Baby, Goldie and Stresmatic never take themselves too seriously and the track's lyrics flip between violent threats and Red Lobster references. Still, 18 Dummy could leave the rest of the country scratching their heads. You don't have to understand a line like "go stupid on the AC Transit" but it helps. Get Naked You Beezy is enough of a banger to receive play in clubs nationwide. Everyone wants songs about naked women, especially when the chorus is a sung by a little kid, but you're just not going to get the full effect unless you know about grapes/scrapers/the Fairfield mall. I'm sure there are some dope Cuban rappers out there but not everybody speaks Spanish. At times The Federation may as well be speaking another language.
It's Whateva isn't all Bay all day, there's plenty of tracks for everyone. What's the great thing about college girls? You get older but they stay the same age. Apparently The Federation has heard that joke too and they've penned an ode to coeds appropriately titled College Girls. The track has an almost 90's vibe, it sounds like Tone Loc was an inspiration, and club goers everywhere will go off when their school gets mentioned. Parents paying tuition will recoil in horror but College Girls is just flat-out good times. Happy I Met You is The Federations most radio friendly track, well ever, as long as the lyrics undergo some serious editing. Rick Rock's put together some surprisingly smooth production that showcases his versatility and the immortal Snoop Dogg puts in a perfect guest verse. Besides, "you hate the police/I hate the police/we got something in common/ain't that sweet" is my new favorite pick-up line. Ladies will love Happy I Met You, but It's Whateva gives gangsters worldwide a new anthem with We On Yo Line. The beat punctuates an impossibly deep bass line with death toll bells as The Federation rhymes about using kids as shooters, with guest feature Cashis echoing the sentiment. If Oprah heard We On Yo Line she'd have a heart attack. No matter where you're from It's Whateva has the good times and adrenaline bursts you're looking for.
Coming in at a staggering 21 tracks It's Whateva provides plenty of space for The Federation to experiment, with mixed results. Every MC and their mother has been using hard rock styles lately but The Federation actually went and recruited real rock musician Travis Barker for the crushing Black Roses. This track is what everyone has been trying (and failing) to do. On the polar opposite side is Fly Away, an orchestral track that's long on good intentions and short on originality. When I Was Yo Man is a brilliant soul song that's so unlike the rest of the album it's shocking. Part hyphy classic, part club hit, part hip-hop experimentalism; it's nearly impossible to pin down It's Whateva. Let me put in this way: if you can find Vallejo on a map go get it. If not then proceed with caution, you might discover a new love or leave confused. Honestly, it could go either way.

Kansas nurse inducted into Alaska Women's Hall of Fame
A Kansas nurse known as the "Angel of the Yukon" has been inducted into the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame for her work during the 1925 diphtheria epidemic in Alaska.
Emily Morgan, born March 7, 1878, in Leon, walked in sub-zero temperatures to inoculate residents of Nome, Alaska, to stop the spread of the deadly disease in the region.
"She has a long history up here," author-historian Steve Levi of Anchorage said.
While he was researching another project, Levi said, he came across an article about Morgan and contacted the Kansas Historical Society to learn more about her. He said he was so impressed with Morgan's accomplishments he contacted Bonnie Jack, treasurer and public relations coordinator for the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame, and nominated her for the honor.
Jack said the Alaska Women's Hall of Fame, which is a solely virtual entity, includes more than 100 women from around the world who helped make Alaska what it is today. To be eligible for the Hall of Fame, nominees must be deceased or 65 years or older by Nov. 1.
Morgan and 14 other women were inducted into the Hall of Fame on Feb. 28. Levi said he accepted the award for Morgan because she has no known relatives.
Morgan became the first public health nurse in Wichita, and in 1923 the American Red Cross assigned her to work as a public health nurse in Nome. Two years later, she was responsible for administering the serum that was brought to Nome via the famous Iditarod Serum Run during the diphtheria epidemic.
Her work, which included walking to surrounding villages to inoculate residents, stopped the disease's spread in the region.
"Morgan performed her job in Nome under the harshest of conditions – an epidemic in a rural Alaska village, a race to bring serum by dogsled delayed by blizzards, rising numbers of diphtheria cases and a serum that then had to be safely unfrozen before it could be used with patients," the biographical summary compiled by the Hall of Fame states.
After the epidemic subsided, Morgan returned to Wichita to resume her Red Cross career but often returned to Alaska to care for the sick. She died in May 1960 in El Dorado at age 82.

ABSTRACT: Inconsistent results characterized N-acetyl-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (AcSDKP or Goralatide) effects upon hematologic proliferation, possibly because its circadian organization had been overlooked. We investigated the circadian changes in AcSDKP disposition in plasma and in bone marrow during continuous infusion and AcSDKP effects upon the circadian rhythms in bone marrow granulomonocytic precursors (CFU-GM) and circulating blood cell counts. One hundred ninety-six male B6D2F1 mice received a constant infusion of AcSDKP (24 microg/ day) or 0.9% NaCl for 7 days, using an osmotic minipump. All mice were synchronized with an alternation of 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness for 3 weeks prior to study. Mice were sacrificed on the fifth or seventh infusional day at 3, 9, 15, or 21 hours after light onset (HALO) in order to assess plasma and bone marrow AcSDKP concentrations, CFU-GM, and/or circulating blood cell counts. In control mice, plasma and bone marrow AcSDKP concentrations displayed a circadian rhythm with a maximum level during the dark span, at 21 and 15 HALO respectively, while CFU-GM, leukocyte, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts peaked during early light. Continuous AcSDKP infusion increased fivefold mean plasma AcSDKP level at 3 or 9 HALO, thus inverted its physiologic rhythm and suppressed the CFU-GM peak that normally occurs at these times. This inhibition however, was indirect, because the rhythms in bone marrow AcSDKP concentration were similar with or without AcSDKP infusion. Conversely, mean leukocyte and lymphocyte counts were significantly reduced with AcSDKP infusion, while their circadian rhythms remained unaffected and were amplified. The results indicate that AcSDKP pharmacology displays circadian rhythmicity and warrant the exploration of chronopharmacologic schedules of AcSDKP delivery for further protecting bone marrow against chemotherapy insults.Experimental Hematology 02/1999; 27(1):19-27. · 2.81 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Electrochemotherapy (ECT) is a new therapeutic approach combining the effects of a low-permeant cytotoxic drug, bleomycin (BLM), administered i.v. and cell-permeabilizing electric pulses (EPs) locally delivered to tumours. The transient permeabilization of the cell membrane by the EPs allows free access of BLM to its intracellular targets, largely enhancing BLM's cytotoxic effects. ECT efficacy has been proved so far on transplanted subcutaneous murine tumours and on subcutaneous metastases in humans. Here, we present the first study of the effects of ECT on tumours transplanted to livers in rabbits. We used a recently developed EP applicator consisting of an array of parallel and equidistant needles to be inserted in tissues. Effects of EPs alone or of ECT were assessed by histological analysis, tumour growth rates and survival of the treated animals. A transient blood hypoperfusion was seen in the electropulsed areas, with or without BLM, related to EP-dependent vasoconstriction but this had no major effects on cell survival. Long-term effects depended on the presence of BLM at the time of EP delivery. Almost complete tumour necrosis was observed after ECT, resulting from both BLM direct cytotoxic effects on electropermeabilized tumour cells and indirect effects on the tumour vessels. A large reduction in tumour growth rate and significantly longer survival times were scored in comparison with control rabbits. Moreover, ECT of liver tumours was well tolerated and devoid of systemic side-effects. When ECT was associated with a local interleukin 2-based immunotherapy, increased local anti-tumour effectiveness as well as a large decrease in the number of metastases were observed. Thus, ECT could become a novel treatment modality for liver tumours and other solid internal malignancies.British Journal of Cancer 07/1998; 77(12):2104-11. · 4.82 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The tetrapeptide Acetyl-N-Ser-Asp-Lys-Pro (AcSDKP or Goralatide), a physiological regulator of hematopoiesis, inhibits the entry into the S-phase of murine and human hematopoietic stem cells. It has been shown to reduce the damage to specific compartments in the bone marrow resulting from treatment with chemotherapeutic agents, ionizing radiations, hyperthermy, or phototherapy. The present study was performed to assess the therapeutic potential of AcSDKP in vivo in reducing both the toxicity and the hematopoietic damage induced by fractionated administration of doxorubicin (DOX), a widely used anticancer drug. Here we showed that AcSDKP could reduce DOX-induced mortality in mice and could protect particularly the long-term reconstituting cells (LTRCs) in addition to colony forming units-spleen, high proliferative potential colony-forming cells, and colony-forming units-granulocyte-macrophage (CFU-GM) from DOX toxicity. The protection against DOX-induced mortality in mice was improved when AcSDKP was administered for 3 days, at a dose of 2.4 micrograms/d, by continuous subcutaneous (SC) infusion or fractionated s.c. injections starting 48 hours before DOX treatment. Moreover, the recovery of the CFU-GM population in the AcSDKP-DOX-treated mice was optimized by the subsequent administration of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF). The coadministration of AcSDKP with DOX may improve its therapeutic index by reducing both acute hematotoxicity on late stem cells and progenitors and long-term toxicity on LTRCs. Optimization of these treatments combined with G-CSF may provide an additional approach to facilitate hematopoietic recovery after cancer chemotherapy.Blood 02/1998; 91(2):441-9. · 9.78 Impact Factor

Rackspace has been in discussions with the Texas Comptroller's Office and its tax advisors to address the recent changes to the state rules governing Texas sales tax.
The new controversial language states, "A person is engaged in business in Texas if the person has nexus with the state as evidenced by, but not limited to, any of the following: […] derives receipts from a rental or lease of tangible personal property that is located in this state or owns or uses tangible personal property that is located in this state, including a computer server or software;[…]"
The Comptroller's Office has indicated that the language was not intended to be construed as so broad as to extend nexus to anyone using a server in Texas. William Hamner, Director of Tax Administration indicated that the agency's intent is not to extend nexus to a person simply using a third-party server in Texas for an activity such as webhosting. However, since taxable items are subject to taxation in both electronic and physical form, the sale of data, such as music files, housed on a Texas server could create nexus for the owner of the data.
Because of the unintended confusion that has resulted from this change, we understand that the Comptroller's Office will issue a new rule proposal in order to properly clarify the intent of the rules change and more clearly state agency policy on this matter.
We will continue to actively pursue a positive outcome on this issue with the Comptroller's Office and will continue to monitor and report on any new developments that we believe to be important to our customers.
[…] change or clarify the rules to reflect this long before they're ever enforced. In fact, the Rackspace Blog states the same: The Comptroller's Office has indicated that the language was not intended to be […]
Just to pick a nit, I don't think music and other copyrighted material is actually "sold" (i.e., ownership title is transfered). It's more like "licensed" for use.
Does the Texas sales tax law include revenue from licenses?
Kudos to the Rackspace and Slicehost teams for working on this. I'm a longtime customer of both companies, and now moving many sites out of Texas because of the Texas Comptroller's Office. Rackspace and Slicehost technical people have been providing excellent service to help with this.

GOD'S WORD Translation (GW) | New International Version (NIV) |
7 All its idols will be smashed to pieces. All its wages for being a prostitute will be burned. All its statues will be turned into a pile of rubble. Samaria collected its wages for being a prostitute. That money will again pay for prostitutes. | 7 All her idols will be broken to pieces; all her temple gifts will be burned with fire; I will destroy all her images. Since she gathered her gifts from the wages of prostitutes, as the wages of prostitutes they will again be used." |

Charter Member 0002218 here ^_^ Woot was a very neat idea. I wish I have followed it more, but I've been rather busy dealing with life to hunt daily deals at woot. Obviously I remember it though. it have a cool name and concept.
$10 off! Woot!!
8/2/04 was my first order - made me laugh to realize I've been checking this site virtually every single day - and a billion times a day during a woot-off - for more than five freakin' years! How does anyone know their charter number?
Woot brings so much joy! I lost my certificate though =(
9/21/2004 Xonix 256MB MP3 USB Watch was my first woot
Gotta love Woot. I am glad that I was one of the first 5000 members! Plus I get $10 for typing this. You rock.
Yeah I still have my Woot Charter Member Certificate hanging on my Desk Proudly at home! Its been a blast checking woot every night not knowing what item will appear. Thanks guys for making me stay up late every night and be a "slave" to woot! First woot was 2x Microsoft Wireless Optical Desktop back on 8/23/2004
congrats Woot. My first coupon code was pinkmonkeyguts. I still have the certificate to this day. My only order was BOC1. I definitely will not forget about the huge fuss about the kensington mouse bag counting as item number 3. I also will not forget about people who didn't order 3

*giggles*, I actually gave away my thermal printers when I moved out of the dorms back whenever :-P. I jumped on most of the original speaker sets (my gf is still using the 5.1 dell "mystery box" set). Oh and ever since my first couple bag of craps I've been edged out of any subsequent ones.

I still have my Woot! charter member certificate (and one of the three USB fans I bought at the time). Woot reigns over all!
Proud Charter Member since 8/22/04. Thanks for the free t-shirt, and keep up the good work.
I think I am qualified.
Charter member, but I've still never managed to snag a Braille on Cookies *sob*
here from the beginning, here 'til the end.
Ah recognition for being a pioneer ;). One robo-mower that I tried to use, but never really did... still in my garage =). Charter member checking in.
Has it been 4 years already? Do time fly!!!
Darn...forgot where I put my certificate...I thought it was a joke...wow...kewl...I remember getting the free shipping code but it expired by the time I made another purchase...hmmm...with this new $10 off code I think I need to woot it tonight...
Go woot.

I can't believe that it has been 4 years since this grand experiment started.

So I am finally included into something based on my perception that woot! might give me some Spam...but the dividends have always been a bargain. "One man's trash is another man's treasure."
as they say in Texas "I wasn't born here but I got here as soon as I could" jc
Woot FTW! I've been wooting since 8/2004
I claim my coupon as a charter member as well.
My first order was on 11/5/2004 . Way to go woot. We celebrate your success. Keep it up.
I didn't realize I joined so early..
Hello fellow charter members... Never have much to say but always willing to buy.
Here I am. WOOT!

$10? That's...that's...that's like free shipping and handling! Times 2!
Well.. I don't thikn I joined between that time, but regardless: thanks woot! -wes-
Thanks WOOT! Keep up the good work.
HMM I'd like 10 bucks.. i could buy more wootages Is november 26 2004 close enough?
Thanks for the coupon. The only other time I got special treatment for being an early customer, I was invited into the "friends and family" IPO of mp3.com. That was a bit more rewarding than a $10, but I can't complain. That said, remember the first 5,000 when you go public!

We know of 39 plays by William Shakespeare, including a few collaborations with other playwrights. One play, Cardenio, was performed at court in the 1612–13 season, but the text has been lost. The other 38 are listed here.
Shakespeare's plays are traditionally divided into the three categories of the First Folio: comedies, histories, and tragedies. The plays within each grouping vary widely. Among the comedies, for example, one can find sunny works filled with the banter of witty lovers; hilariously complicated farces; and darker, more sober plays such as The Tempest.
The following pages provide a rich assortment of Folger resources for each play, including images from the Folger collection, links to full-length digital facsimiles of early printed editions, and materials ranging from videos, audio podcasts, and blog posts to classroom lesson plans, Folger Theatre productions, Folger exhibitions, recordings, websites, and shop items. Each page includes a short introduction to the play adapted from the Folger paperback edition, a list of related books, and, where available, a list of related movies.

TUCSON - If you live near Lyons Elementary you may hear shouting and simulated gun fire Monday tonight, and every night through August 7th. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is holding six weeks of training there. Exercise drills will run from 2-11 p.m. daily. Lyons Elementary has transformed into a tactical training ground. It's one of 11 schools recently closed by the Tucson Unified School District. The Sheriff's Department is taking advantage of the property to simulate a reality-based environment. Neighbor Jerry Bennett says exercises actually started a few days ago. "The other night it was 9 o'clock, and we were out here and it was bang bang bang, it was maybe 12-14 shots and I didn't hear anything else," said Bennett. Bennett and some of his neighbors reported feeling a sense of security. "Feel a little bit safer with the SWAT team there and all the Sheriff's and everything, so we're glad they're here," said Rick Bicknell, another neighbor. But not everyone's looking forward to it. At least one residenttells News 4 Tucson that they're concerned actual criminal activity will be ignored, mistaken that it's part of the training. "There's a lot of crime that actually happens in this neighborhood, I was one of its victims. So I understand what people are saying," said Amy Skiles. "Well first off they need to understand that we're Pima County Deputies and we're in the middle of the city. So anything that may need responding it's going to be the Tucson Police Department," said Sheriff's Deputy Tracy Suitt, adding those living in the county shouldn't worry either. "They way they have the scheduling set, maybe one person from each shift will go out to this, we're not taking a lot of deputies off the street for this training," said Suitt. For some, it will be hard adjusting to the sound of simulated bullets over the next six weeks, others feel it's worth it. "In the wake of all the problems at schools nationwide," said Bennett, "it's a good thing that they're taking the time to be ready." The Sheriff's Department chose Lyons Elementary because the utilities, including air conditioning were still on. The department has no plans to hold future training sessions at the Lyons campus.

To power slide, slow down a bit before the turn or chicane with the footbrake, then as you turn, hit the handbrake to make your car swing around the bend (make your car go into the proper direction first), then hit one of your brakes (handbrake is easier to use) while you are facing the direction you wish to be in (straight), and continue driving as normal. • Whenever you are steering into a turn, and smoke begins to come from your tires, this is a sure-sign that your car is about to spin-out if a counter-steer isn't used soon. To counter this eventual spin-out, simply lay off the gas a bit, and counter-steer (steer into the opposite direction) to regain your grip on the road, and to avoid the spin-out easily. • Sometimes (or a lot of the time), you can't power-slide in Driving Emotion Type-S, since the racing engine isn't designed for it like Gran Turismo 2 or Ridge Racer. The cars in Driving Emotion Type-S stick to the road much better than other racing games, so power-sliding isn't necessary most of the time, although some of the lower-ranked cars do tend to slide around. • You don't have to power slide around each turn. Some turns are too tight to try to manuever around, so just brake very hard with the footbrake to come to an almost complete stop, then turn your car into the desired direction, and hit the gas to get moving again. • Don't be too hard on the controls, since they are sort of touchy. The cars handle arcade-like, so you won't be spinning out after each turn, unless you really turn sharply or hit a wall at great speeds. • Try not to hit the other car in a race, since you will bounce off of him/her, and slow yourself down, and possibly spin-out. • Try to avoid all walls and barriers. Walls and barriers can slow your car down drastically, and they can also cause your car to have an un- necessary spin-out, which you don't want. • To recover from a spin-out quickly, simply let off the gas while you are spinning or moving, then steer with the spin until you slow down. Once you have done this, simply countersteer (steer into the direction you are spinning), then you will have regained control of your vehicle. • Try not to power-slide TOO much in the game. Why? Because the physics engine of Driving Emotion Type-S is very realistic, and if you try to power- slide around a sharp turn at high speeds, your car will skid or spin-out. • Don't take sharp turns at very high speeds (this is especially bad with very, VERY fast cars). Doing this may cause your car to stop or slide, and will slow you down big-time. ¸__.-» This document Copyright © 2000-2001 Nemesis™. All rights reserved «-.__¸ -EOF-

Wide Pinholes from the Gateway to the West
So I have had a bunch of people ask lately why I have no shots of the Arch here in Saint Louis. So I decided I should get on it and have spent many weekends taking many photos of the Arch grounds and downtown.
This photo was shot on film. Taken by megs79 with a Holga 120 Wide Pinhole loaded with Lomography Redscale film (available in our Online Shop) in Saint Louis, MO, United States. These tags describe this photo: pinhole, redscale, 120, holga wide pinhole, skyline, monument, and saint louis. Date: 2011-12-12. Time: Afternoon. This photo can also be found in the album Pinholes of the Arch Grounds.Where is this?
