Ampio Pharmaceuticals Completes Enrollment In Run-In SPRING Study Of Ampion In Osteoarthritis Of The Knee
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., April 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ampio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMPE) today announced the completion of patient enrollment in a dose-escalation run-in study to a Phase III pivotal trial evaluating Ampion in the treatment of moderate to severe osteoarthritis of the knee. Twelve week primary endpoint data are expected in the third quarter of 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120516/MM09116LOGO)
In the SPRING trial, Ampion is being evaluated for its effect on reducing pain as a single intra-articular injection into the knee in 4 milliliter (mL) and 10 milliliter (mL) volumes as compared to placebo at twelve weeks. The study has enrolled in excess of the targeted 320 patient goal. This study is part of the US development program for Ampion and was designed as a run-in to a Phase III pivotal trial which Ampio will initiate once the optimal volume is determined and the proposed pivotal trial is properly powered to achieve its scientific objectives.
"I am extremely pleased with the speed we were able to complete patient enrollment in SPRING," said Michael Macaluso, Chairman and CEO of Ampio. "While we set very stringent site criteria to optimize the rate of enrollment, I believe this could indicate the severe degree current therapeutics are not meeting the needs of osteoarthritis sufferers."
About Ampion ™ Ampion is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory biologic that has the potential to be used in a broad array of inflammatory conditions and autoimmune diseases. The active ingredient is aspartyl-alanyl diketopiperazine, referred to as DA-DKP, which is derived from two amino acids from human albumin and appears to have a significant role in the homeostasis of inflammation. Ampion is protected by composition of matter, use, and synthetic form patents. Ampio has published a number of studies and articles on the anti-inflammatory activity of DA-DKP. About OsteoarthritisOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form of arthritis, affecting 27 million people in the US. 1 Symptomatic OA of the knee occurs in 10-13% of individuals over the age of 60. 2 OA is caused by inflammation of the soft tissue and bony structures of the joint which worsens over time and leads to progressive thinning of articular cartilage, narrowing of the joint space, synovial membrane thickening, osteophyte formation and increased density of subchondral bone. 3 These changes eventually result in chronic pain and disability, and deterioration of the joint despite drug therapy may require eventual surgery of total joint replacement. Current drug treatment for OA of the knee relies on pain control with analgesics, and anti-inflammatory treatment with NSAIDs and intra-articular injections of steroids or hyaluronates. The current drug treatments have been shown to have mixed results and may have significant limitations due to various adverse effects such as gastrointestinal irritation and bleeding. 4 About Ampio PharmaceuticalsAmpio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is a development stage biopharmaceutical company focused on the rapid development of therapies to treat prevalent inflammatory conditions for which there are limited treatment options. We are developing compounds that decrease inflammation by (i) inhibition of specific pro-inflammatory compounds by affecting specific pathways at the protein expression and at the transcription level or (ii) activation of a specific phosphatase or depletion of the available phosphate needed for the inflammation process.

Duke Global Education Office
Several programs offered through the Duke University Global Education Office for Undergraduates are jointly administered by the Department of Romance Studies, have faculty and staff participants in the programs, or involve a substantial Spanish language component. Please see the Global Education links below for the following programs:
- Duke in France/EDUCO (Fall, Spring, Academic Year)
- Duke in Montreal (Summer)
- Duke in Paris (Summer)
There are also many other global education programs available that are administered by other organizations. See the Global Education Office website.
Within the language programs in Romance Studies there are multiple opportunities for engagement in the community, the best venue for acquiring real-world linguistic and cultural knowledge. Student interaction with language communities provides occasions for developing civic engagement, cultural competence, political activism, and awareness of issues of social justice.
Through my service experience, I have seen evidence of the themes that we have discussed in class and for me, it was a pretty heavy experience to see the topics from our readings and conversations in class occurring so close by in real life. (Spanish 307S, spring 2014)
Duke students interact with the community in many ways, such as getting to know community members during class visits and departmental events, visiting businesses in Durham, participating in international video conversations, and working alongside community members in service-learning courses. Some examples of service projects are acting as conversation partners with refugees from the Central African Republic, organizing art activities for Latino/a elementary school students, and tutoring Latino/a adults in English.
This course has been one of the most rewarding courses I have taken at Duke. I absolutely loved the component of interacting via Skype or meetings with different health organizations in Latin America. It was inspiring to talk to leaders who are actively working in an area many of us aspire to work in. A lot of time our goals feel like unattainable dreams but this course made them seem really real. (Spanish 306 student, spring 2014)
Currently there are service-learning courses offered in Spanish and French. These courses require a commitment of 20 hours of service in the community in addition to traditional class contact hours.
By the end of my visits as I became more invested in [the] family, I gained an unparalleled sense of humility. The balance between serving, learning, and prospering was much more equal than I initially expected, which strongly increased my investment in all three areas. I realized that [the] family helped me reflect deeply about my personal goals in serving my community and strengthened my ability to connect with someone so seemingly different from myself on a very personal level. These outcomes, while unexpected, were the most meaningful. (French 270T student, spring 2014)

What I learned in class, I saw in the real world. I gained a glimpse of how it is to be Latino living in the US. (Spanish 307 student, spring 2014)

Fresh from the Labs
and, as root or sudo:
# make python-install
This should work in all three directories without errors. If not, make sure you have all of the previously mentioned libraries installed and up to date.
Now that the compiling is out of the way, head back to the main tetuhi directory, and enter the command:
$ ./tetuhi nameofimagehere.jpg
If everything has compiled properly, an image with some crazy instructions should appear on screen, walking you through the first steps of the game. The best types of images to use are those with simplicity, such as stark backgrounds with bold elements at the forefront. Included on the Tetuhi Web page is a link to a tarball containing sample images for testing. My favorite is "hills-cars.jpg", whose line of land, trees and a car pulses and gyrates, while you control a wiggling sun—making for the trippiest game experience I've had in some time. Once you've enjoyed the first few plays, you may want to make a symlink to a pathed directory so that you don't have to keep entering Tetuhi's source directory.
Although the games themselves are rather simplistic (and lame in most cases), it's the implications of the image manipulation that are of real interest here. I can see parts of the code foundation making it into much larger-scale projects in the gaming and multimedia area in the future. Tetuhi's creator, Douglas Bagnall, is making particular efforts so that Tetuhi can be included on the One Laptop Per Child XO laptop, so it'll be interesting to see what kind of games and drawings children around the world will come up with to play in connection with Tetuhi's game rules.
Check out some of Douglas' other crazy projects at halo.gen.nz.
Projects at a Glance
joyevmouse (welz.org.za/projects/joyevmouse)
joyevmouse is a joystick-to-mouse mapper that converts joystick events to mouse events. Of course, this means that lazy people like myself who watch endless episodes of anime and Top Gear won't have to get off the couch. Conveniently, joyevmouse also runs entirely in user space. It does not run as a kernel driver nor does it need a patch. Extra documentation and users are lacking at this point, so check it out and see if it suits your needs.
The Stump Window Manager (Stumpwm, www.nongnu.org/stumpwm)
Stumpwm is a keyboard-driven, minimalist X11 window manager written in Common Lisp. Despite its visually minimalist approach (there are no window decorations, icons or even buttons), Stumpwm is designed to be fully customizable and very powerful. And, judging by its main feature, I'd say it is so, because Stumpwm is designed to be hackable while the actual program is running. The ultimate control freak will love this, and any Lisp fans also should to take a gander.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

cannot be washed It is impossible to wash or dry this item, even if one owned a commercial-size washer and/or drier. This rug is so heavy and stiff, it won't come close to fitting in a washer/drier. Also the so-called memory foam simple wads up even when handwashing and air drying. This is an absolutely terrible product.

Soft and cushy bath mat Great size and very comfortable to the touch. However, when I unrolled the rug after receiving it, there were some dark spots on the rug. I used rug cleaner to remove them.

Not overly thrilled I vacuumed the rug on the 'floor' setting and it totally ruined the rug. I vacuum rugs all the time and never had one do this before. They are very cushy and a pretty color, however after seeing all the reviews and ruining my own - I would only recommend if you never plan to wash or vacuum the rug

Best Floor Care Tips for Your Bathroom

Bath Sheets vs Bath Towels
Most bathroom decorators are accustomed to purchasing conventionally sized bath towels. Standard-sized bath towels are usually included as part of a set. Buying a set is often easier on the pocketbook, and there's no need to worry if your bath towels will match your hand towels and wash cloths. Don't scrub the notion of incorporating bath sheets into your bathroom sets, however. Bath sheets, due to their size and volume, add considerable luxury whenever you step outside of the shower or tub.

Ronaldo calls for protection
16 Jun 2010 - 08:35:11
Portugal ace Cristiano Ronaldo was left frustrated after his side's World Cup finals campaign opened with a goalless draw with Ivory Coast.
The Real Madrid superstar came close to breaking the deadlock by hitting a post with a long-range effort, although he was also booked for a clash with Guy Demel.
Ronaldo said after the game: "Sometimes it's difficult that the referee doesn't give fouls because he thinks I dived.
"I know the game is very quick and the players are very quick, but sometimes I don't understand the decisions of referees.
"I respect them, but sometimes I don't agree because they don't protect the dangerous players.
"In the first half, someone tackled me and I was given a yellow card. I didn't do anything, but he gave me a yellow card.
"Sometimes I don't understand, but that's football. I know I don't have to react if I get a yellow card.
"I don't want to speak about the referee. I respect the decision and I want to be focused on helping my team and to do my best."

(WBEN) Hundreds of parents, students and teachers attended a meeting of the Clarence School Board Monday to support a school curriculum that's been singled out as "inappropriate" by a local mother.
Ginger Lahti, in a letter to the school board, criticized the present curriculum ingeneral and raised specific concerns about the textbooks in the district.
Lahti, the wife of school board member Jason Lahti says the materials were inappropriate and "not conducive to to good character and moral development in children."
Lahti was referring to quotes taken from sex education booklets distributed to students. The parent complained the booklets contained profanity including the "F' word.
The complaint drew little support.
"You can't take out a sentence from a book and then say something is wrong with that literature. You have to look at the entire context," said Clarence School Board Member Julie McCullough, according to WGRZ Channel 2. (See VIDEO Below)
The district superintendent and the school board declined to make any changes in the current curriculum.

Electronic cigarettes -- they produce no smoke, bu they still deliver nicotine, and a Louisiana lawmaker wants to make sure they're treated just like regular cigarettes, as far as children are concerned.
"A survey done in 2011 I believe it was showed about 1.5 percent of high school-age students had tried e-cigarettes," Gallot said. "The following year...the number had increased to 2.8."
Although many adults say they were able to kick their smoking habit by using electronic cigarettes, Gallot points out they still deliver nicotine to the user, and he says kids don't need that.
"To get our children hooked on this nicotine is certainly not a good thing," he said.
The Louisiana Senate Judiciary B committee is set to discuss Gallot's bill this afternoon.

I mean YOUTHS. I'm not one of those folks that puts the Pats in the Super Bowl, or buries them after one preseason game. Especially, with 15ish players sitting this one out. However, I did leave with a good feeling about some of the teams' younger players. Players like Richardson, Merriweather, Rogers, and Washington (not a rookie, but still young) have gotten some good "training camp press", and it was nice to see them perform well on Friday. Merriweather to me, just looks like a football player. You could expect him to seem lost for his first NFL game, but he wasn't. I expect big things from him in time, and maybe less time than normal. Everybody saw Rogers stand out. 6 tackles, 1 QB hurry, 1 sack, and 1 fumble recovery (oh, and it was LeKevin Smith that stripped the ball on said fumble) was a great start for him. I'm a Washington fan, and hope the numbers game doesn't send him out of town. It'd be nice to finally have a WR with size AND skill around these parts. He had a couple of nice catches on Friday. On that near interception by Richardson, he played the man perfectly. He showed a burst when the ball went in the air, and turned to look at the ball. He had the better chance of catching it, and if the WR didn't play DB and swipe at the ball, Richardson may well have had a nice int. He looked smooth out there. I still consider Wright a youngster, and every time you watch him perform, he makes players. Another sack, and a QB hurry Friday night. He makes plays, whether subbing on D, or on Teams. I didn't get a good look at the OLine to see how Elgin looked, but here's hoping he ends up being a player. The bottom line is, it is too early to finalize roster spots for most the young players, but I for one left the game Friday feeling good about many of the 20 somethings. If they continue to shine, we may have to start some posts on which veterans get canned.
Had to respond if for no other reason than to back the "Two Yoots" reference. Kelley Washington did indeed flash a little something in the game, 'though it's worth pointing out that he has had anything but a good training camp. (Also, I heard we brought in another WR who combines size and skill. Randy Something.) I hope along with you that some of these kids - especially a guy like Richardson (since he's cheap and plays a need position) - turn out to be the real deal. Meriweather for sure sounds like it, and so far Elgin has done a good, solid job. We'll see as the games move forward.
All true. Washington is going to have a bear of a time making the team, with the 42 wide receivers on the roster. But you are right, it would be nice to have a youngster like Richardson at a need position really make his mark. Let's hope so. As nervous as I get when I see aging vets like Rodney, Tedi, and Junior throwing their bodies around, I do have to sit back an remind myself that Woods, Lua, Merriweather, Richardson, and Rogers are all 23 - 25, and will continue to hope one or more of them are "finds".
It looks like Woods could be a player down the road, or maybe sooner. Meriweather is off to a terrific start. James Sanders has progressed nicely. The DL is young. If one of Rogers or Lua could make a mark and surprise people, that would be huge (especially given their Day Two-ness). And if Mike Richardson could be a CB version of Givens, I'd be very happy.
If I assume: Moss, Stallworth and Welker as the top 3 One of Caldwell or Gaffney being #4 Troy and CJ on PUP then about the only way I can see Washington making the cut is if he can significantly contribute to special teams (much like Kassim Osgood in SD). Since I couldn't watch the game, anyone notice if Washington was a part of any ST packages? If he was, that is a good sign for him. If he wasn't, not so much.
Not sure on the ST package question. I wanted to re-watch TIVO of the game last night, but with a two year saying "daddy let's play playdoh, daddy read book, daddy let's go swimming, daddy what is the square root of infinity", and so on, it's tougher than it use to be.
Now THAT is funny! I was in between Special K bites, so no skim milk out the nose, but still very clever.
Washington has been an underachiever for four seasons now. I don't think you can put him in the same category as the other guys you mentioned. I was disappointed with Meriweather's performance. Maybe some of the Miami boosters on this board conditioned me to expect an immediate contributor, but I just don't see it. He looked non-instinctive at corner and safety. There's nothing unusual about that in a player playing his first NFL game, but I guess I had built him up too much in my mind. I also felt that Kwame Brown was in over his head, Justin Rogers flashed some play-making ability but showed a rookie's lack of discipline, Lua was awful at diagnosing plays, although that should come with experience. The rookies that I am most impressed with so far are Elgin, Richardson, and Gutierrez.
I loved your comment about square root of infinity...... and those special k bites through the nose can hurt. I shot a grape nut out mine one morning and blinded the dog....
Based on a general impression from the game and one offensive & defensive series breakdown each in the second half, I agree. Head of the class: - Elgin showed he could handle all three interior positions and had Koppen/Neal-like mobility. - Richardson showed decent coverage skills and ball awareness, a nice foundation for Coach Collier to build on. He also showed good discipline in run support and a willingness to enter the fray. - Gutierrez showed some nice poise, decent arm, and some pocket presence - another good foundation project. Middle of the pack: - Rogers showed good ball awareness, decent strength at the point-of-attack, decent quicknees and speed. When he stayed with his assignment he was effective. As a conversion project he's in the plus category. - Bissinger showed fair strength/quickness/speed, he played with discipline in the limited time I watched him closely - as a project player I am impressed. A year on the Practice Squad working with Coach Woicik/Nash/Davis, Coach Patricia, Coach Seeley, Coach Belichick, and the veterans may produce a solid ST/Reserve I/O LB. - Meriweather, I never bought into the Miami hype so I wasn't disappointed with what I saw - a rookie. To date Mankins is the only "starter" drafted in the first round, the rest all played significant roles/reps their first year, but developed behind and with veterans, I think that's where Meriweather is now. - Oldenburg took LG and LT reps in the game and looked like another Tom Ashworth, and that's not a bad thing, they can't all be Logan Mankins. - Dunlap looked good for a guy who was almost always offscreen, one nice catch working back to Gutierrez; I really wish I could have seen him blocking. Lowered expectations: - Lua, perhaps here is where I had unrealistic expectations based on hype, the kid looked like a puppy at a family gathering during the first defensive series of the second half - I don't expect him to get better in this game. All is not lost, but I believe he needs to go to the Practice Squad. - K.Brown also earns the distracted puppy nod, athletic as all get out, if his talent can be harnessed good things will come - Practice Squad. I haven't seen enough one way or the other: - Hilliard looked okay, but I want a closer look - he also only took reps at RT, not a good omen compared to his rookie peers who worked more than one position. - Anam, a couple goofs on Special Teams in the first game can be written off to training opportunities, I'll need to watch more tape. - Q.Smith I need to watch tape. - West I need to watch tape. First and Second year players I liked: - Mays needs to improve his technique and strength, but he was in the right spot at the right time. - L.Smith needs to improve his technique and patience, but he looked like a little Vince (2005 almost ready to take the next step version). - Williams looked good as a KR, decent with lot's of room for improvement as a Gunner, and decent as a nickelback, I think he makes the team as a KR and ST/Reserve CB project. - Baugher looked like Josh Miller has competition. - Britt looked like a solid Reserve Swing Tackle. - Childress still looks like a still growing Troy Brown clone, BB/SP will find a way to keep him another year. - Gostkowski deserves 20 lashes with a wet noodle for the KO out of bounds. - Kight looked like he is almost there to be in-sync with Gutierrez, I'd need to see him with Cassel and Brady, but I think the kid's okay (and unfortunately at the most competitive position). - Mills blocking looked good, he needs more reps with the QBs for timing. - O'Callaghan is Kaczur's "back-up" at RT - yes, you read that right. - The others didn't play or didn't standout during the game, I need to watch more tape.

Taking Care of You the Parent
Parenting is a full time commitments, ensuring that kids needs are met can take a massive toll on energy levels. No matter if you are a working or a stay at home parent, the days are long, the stress can be relentless and the days can just roll into each other. Parents can feel they are always in the role of mum or dad.
Adolescence do not work to a timetable they are not always able to recognise a good or bad time to off load or disclose their worries at an appropriate time. Because parenting can take its toll, it is vitally important from a physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing that parents can learn to take care of themselves. It is not mean or selfish to say I need some me time.
Parents who says,I need to negotiate some time to revitalise gives the kids a message that parents have some needs also. It allows the whole family to recognise that we all need some privacy.
If parents feel well, the whole family benefit. Parents work hard to ensure that ensure that the wheels in the family home keep rolling. This is especially true if the teenager has a special need or is going through a particular difficult time. Time away from home can be difficult if parents have to arrange care. In these situations, parents have to find a space within the home to revitalise.
Taking time out clears the mind, revitalises the batteries, and allows energy to flow. In fact with regards to maintaining a good mental health and reducing anxiety, it is a MUST!
Here are some tips for a healthy parental wellbeing.
*Listen to music, whatever feeds the soul or mind. Music has an effect on the autonomic system. Depending on the music played, blood pressure may be lower, breathing regulated, and music can have a physiological effect on the mind. You may wish to do this sitting quietly taking some deep breaths. In any situation where you have chosen to listen to a favourite piece of music you will benefit.
*Touch the inner child in you, play, have fun, play with the kids or partner. Play bat and ball use the skipping ropes it does not matter, just have fun! Reconnecting with the inner child is good on so many levels. If your adolescence sees you having fun, they can connect with you in a fun way. You may choose to have fun away from the kids that is OK just go and play!
*Walk the dog. Ok even if you do not have a pet, a walk will awaken the mind. You will feel freshen, stir the spirit and move the body. Whatever the season some time outside, alone, will enable you to gather your thoughts. Even twenty minutes can give enough time to feel revitalised.
*A bubble bath soaking away the aches and pains of the day will feel good for the soul. Light a favourite candle, place a do not disturb sign on the door. Use the best quality bubble bath or oils you can afford and soak. A warm nest of soft, fluffy towels to wrap into when stepping out of the bath with feel wonderful.
*Stop feeling guilty. Each day parents overall and in the main, do the best they can with the tools they have. So learn to Self-sooth. Mentally learn to let go of guilt, shame, or any other negative framework, which inhibits the mind.
*Eat well- good food feeds the body. Plan meals to include food to boost energy levels, revitalise the taste buds by trying new foods. You may wish to eat some meals away from the kids and eat with partner or invite friends around. Dress the table with the best crockery, use good quality napkins enjoy the experience.
*Take up an interest or hobby. Stop procrastinating you need time to be you. Even though you decided to take the path of becoming a parent does not mean you gave up on being you. The very fact you have teenage kids in the house means you have been a parent for a few years. Finding a new interest, will kick start the mind into taking on new ideas.
*Take time out with the partner or spouse. If you can arrange date nights, brilliant, just spending time as couple will help you reconnect. Find the fun and play, just the two of you. You will be together as a couple long after your adolescent children have left home. If you are a couple or a lone parent, remember you have adult needs too.
There are many ways to let go of being a parent for a short time. Everyone will feel the benefit. If your teenagers see you happy, enjoying life, spending time with friends you will show them you are a well-rounded person. They will be able to recognise that you are a person in your own right. You will not take anything away from your family; on the contrary, you are giving your well being priority which is where it should be!

Sonoma Vendange Winery Pinot Grigio
Sonoma Vendange Winery
- California
- United States
The rise in popularity of Pinot Grigio (also known as Pinot Gris) wines over the past decade has led to this particular grape varietal being planted in many countries around the world in enormous quantities. These grapes range in color from grayish blue to lilac and amber, and with many shades in between. However, they are most prized for their wide range of flavors and aromas, and their relatively high level of 'transparency', or the ability to put across elements of their terroir in the bottle. The Pinot Grigio varietal also has a relatively high natural sugar content, which means that wineries have plenty of scope when it comes to processing their juices, resulting in semi-sweet Pinot Grigio wines, or very lean, crisp and dry examples depending on how much fermentation has been allowed.
California as a wine producing region has grown in size and importance considerably over the past couple of centuries, and today is the proud producer of more than ninety percent of the United States' wines. Indeed, if California was a country, it would be the fourth largest producer of wine in the world, with a vast range of vineyards covering almost half a million acres. The secret to California's success as a wine region has a lot to do with the high quality of its soils, and the fact that it has an extensive Pacific coastline which perfectly tempers the blazing sunshine it experiences all year round. The winds coming off the ocean cool the vines, and the natural valleys and mountainsides which make up most of the state's wine regions make for ideal areas in which to cultivate a variety of high quality grapes.
Of all the New World wine countries, perhaps the one which has demonstrated the most flair for producing high quality wines - using a combination of traditional and forward-thinking contemporary methods - has been the United States of America. For the past couple of centuries, the United States has set about transforming much of its suitable land into vast vineyards, capable of supporting a wide variety of world-class grape varietals which thrive on both the Atlantic and the Pacific coastlines. Of course, we immediately think of sun-drenched California in regards to American wines, with its enormous vineyards responsible for the New World's finest examples of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot based wines, but many other states have taken to viticulture in a big way, with impressive results. Oregon, Washington State and New York have all developed sophisticated and technologically advanced wine cultures of their own, and the output of U.S wineries is increasing each year as more and more people are converted to their produce.

The movie was good, on the life of Richie Valens. The only true actor that gave an outstanding performance was Esai Morales, who portrayed Richie's brother. Very dramatic and real, and the ending was emotional, I cried. :( Not to mention he sings a song called "Donna"! LOL!!! Ok, I'm a sap! :P

Surrounded by the spectacular marine life of the Georgia Aquarium, host Mark L. Walberg and appraiser David Lackey examine some 19th-century examples of the shockingly realistic aquatic, amphibious and reptilian-themed plates and vases known as Palissy ware. Highlights include a decorative egg with a Faberge mark, purchased for $15,000, that may not be all that it seems; a 1787 land grant signed by Benjamin Franklin; and a New York Chippendale corner chair, circa 1760, purchased as part of a large collection for $750-$800, but actually valued between $250,000-$300,000.

I'm Mary; I'm roughly twice your age, I suspect. I'm an engineering professor.
I first remember seeing Srebotnik at Eastbourne in '06 (she'd already lost, but
I saw her walking around the grounds), and then she played
doubles with Safina that summer. Since then, I try to check out her matches
when I have a chance. She seems like a nice young woman, and it's particularly
nice to see her play doubles, as she smiles so much. I'm also an amateur artist,
and I love painting tennis players. I've done a few paintings of Kata; she has an
aesthetically-pleasing figure and face.

Go Buckeyes!
With the big OSU vs. USC game coming up with this weekend, tailgate parties will be in full swing. Here are a few tips for having a good time while maintaining your healthy habits!
Load up on the veggies: Fill your first plate of the day with fresh veggies. This will fill you up with fiber and nutrients so you will be less likely to fill up on empty calories.
Sip water between cocktails: Tailgate parties usually last a long time. To keep from getting dehydrated or drinking to much alcohol, alternate water between drinks. This will help you last longer and feel better throughout the event!
Skip creamy dips and stick to salsa: Creamy dips are usually made with sour cream, mayonnaise or cream cheese which can all be full of fat and calories. Try dipping your chip or carrot stick in salsa whenever possible for a flavorful, fat free kick!
Don't go hungry to the party: Have a small snack before going to the party to take the edge off your hunger. This will help you refrain from grabbing the first thing you see without thinking.
Split portions with a friend:If you are really in the mood for a greasy burger or a plate of nachos, have one and share with a friend. You will still get your fix and you will save yourself from over indulging!
Bring a healthy dish to share: When bringing a dish to the tailgate, think about bringing a healthy option to share. You know there will be lots of not-so-healthy treats so make sure there is something there that is a better option. Some great healthy tailgate foods include: veggies and hummus, soft pretzels and mustard or fruit kabobs!

The Art of McCartney
When it comes to tribute albums they are usually either really great or not worth a second listen. But the magnitude of The Art of McCartney album is just so massive…it's like the holy grail considering the huge catalog of Beatle songs and Paul McCartney solo tracks redone by so many different artists. It's a great mix of old and new, in the way these oh so familiar songs are redone and the way each song is interpreted by the artist, each in turn taking their salute to one of the most successful songwriters of the twentieth century. It's no wonder it ...

Uncut Interview with Eric Clapton
The August issue of Uncut Magazine featured a great interview with Eric Clapton, revealing some very introspective aspects of the guitarist's life. Thanks to my brother David for sharing it with me, thus inspiring this post. In fact he brought up a good point, in that this interview seemed to pick up where Clapton's autobiography left off. Clapton shares his thoughts in the Uncut interview about how life on the road has become unbearable, his latest album (a tribute to J.J. Cale,) and the prospect of retirement. Thanks to Uncut Magazine and interviewer Graeme Thomson for the insights into one of our ...

Robert Johnson…remembering the King of the Delta Blues
Today we remember the King of the Delta Blues… Robert Johnson, (May 8, 1911 – Aug. 16, 1938) whose influence has been felt all over the blues and rock & roll world. On the album Me And Mr. Johnson, Eric Clapton pays tribute to Robert Johnson, reknown as the most mythic figure of the blues era, and covers 14 of the 29 songs Johnson wrote and recorded in his 27-year lifetime. One hundred years ago, a boy-child was born in Mississippi – a dirt-poor, African-American who would grow up, learn to sing and play the blues, and eventually achieve worldwide renown. In the decades after his death, he has ...

BBM now allowing free telephone calls
This is in my local UAE newspaper, not sure how valid it is but it is exciting news if it is true.
RIM�s rebirth (of sorts): BBM 7 offers free international calls; Skype-killer?
By Staff
Published Monday, December 17, 2012
Research in Motion (RIM) has unveiled BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) version 7, a free update for the globally popular mobile social network, that now allows users to make free voice calls to their BBM contacts across the world.
The key new feature of the update, which will allow customers to make free voice calls to their BBM contacts around the world over a Wi-Fi connection, is an inexpensive way to stay connected with friends, family and colleagues � but is not yet available in the UAE.
�I can�t tell you how many times I�ve been on chatting with someone on BlackBerry Messenger (BBM), trying to explain something, and realise it�d be a lot easier to just pick up the phone and talk it out,� BlackBerry�s new Blog Manager Donny Halliwell wrote in a blog post.
�Thankfully, BBM 7 has me covered with BBM Voice. It�s available now in BlackBerry App World for devices running BlackBerry 6 OS and higher with support planned for smartphones running the BlackBerry 5 OS early next year,� he said.
Voila � that is perhaps something that should give RIM the much-needed jolt in customers� eyes, as should the impending BB10, set for a January 30 launch.
As Danny says in his blog post, �showing is better than telling� � here�s a a video of the first official BBM Voice call on Inside BlackBerry.
Asides from voice calling, BBM 7 contains a host of tweaks and new additions that overall make it a worthwhile download for those who use the platform for chatting and sending files with other BlackBerry users.
As mentioned, voice calls can now be made for free from within BBM via a Wi-Fi connection, with statuses updating to show which of your BBM contacts are on calls and such.
This is going to be a smash hit in Dubai and the rest of the UAE, where a largely expat population is eager to make �legal� international calls on a daily basis in order to be in touch with overseas friends and family.
However, according to a Research In Motion statement to this website: "BBM 7 and BBM Voice services are not yet available for customers in the UAE. Customers should refer to BlackBerry App World for the latest version of an app that is available in their location."
Beyond just plain calling, the BBM voice feature lets you begin a conversation by text and then if you wish, you can switch over to voice call.
You are notified in case your BBM voice contacts are waiting or available to make voice calls. BBM voice calling was kick-started with a beta app last month and received high user ratings.
Satisfied customers responded to surveys positively and said they wished to have BBM voice while travelling. Other features include 16 new emoticons for those who like to express themselves using smilies, easy synchronisation of BBM Contacts and Groups with your BlackBerry ID, meaning that you can switch to a new BlackBerry device (BlackBerry 10, anyone?) with ease.

You're kinda late dude.
We've been on this for about a month now for those with access to BETA. Thanks for the info though.
It's VoIP calls, not phone calls. A good feature, but a Skype killer it is not.

Skype works on 3G/4G..... Until BBM can do that, it ain't killing it, it ain't substituting it.
Besides all the discussion about who is better, is BBMV or Skype...
I find this feature amazing. I have been able to talk to some friends abroad with excellent quality.
The only problem : not much marketing. I had to ask my friends to upgrade and show them how to use it. Still of my over 60 BBM contacts just 5 have BBM 7. - 12-17-12, 04:28 PM #18
I don't use Skype but I did at one time. It proved virtually useless when trying to converse with relatives in the Maritimes and Australia, so I stopped using it.
I have updated BBM this evening and have tried BBMV. It is amazing - and will prove very useful when we go on our cruise in February.
Arguing about whether or not it is a "skype killer" is meaningless. Some of us have found Skype to be pretty useless in our real life situations.Posted using my 32 gig Playbook - and 9 times out of 10, my new BB OEM mini keyboard - 12-19-12, 09:58 AM #20
Am I the only one that thinks BBM Voice is about 2 years late to the party? At least in North America. I am sure BBM Voice works great, and in some parts of the world is probably very useful, but how would I know? What am I (or a large portion of the other people in North America) going to do with it? Should I have awkward telephone coversations with dudes from Nigeria just to try the feature out? 2 years ago BBM Voice would have been awesome. Now BBM Voice is just the same as any other future improvements to BBM - A great feature I won't be able to use because no one I know uses BBM.
Compare BBM Voice with Google Voice for Android. Google Voice works with any telephone number. If the telephone number is in North America than you have 100% free voice calling. No catches at all. Its free. On top of that you also get free voice mail and free unlimited SMS. If you have a data connection, either via WiFi or your carrier supplied data plan, than you have a fully functional cell phone. No monthly carrier fee required.
BBM Voice works with people that still have a BlackBerry. A rare occurence in North America. Congratulations to all the people that are still able to use BBM as meaningful form of communication. But for me, and many other people out there, BBM is a ghost town unless we want to talk to random strangers from thousands of miles away.
I personally would have rather seen RIM improve the Google Voice app for BlackBerry, instead of making yet another great feature, for a great app that no one I care about uses anymore. - 12-19-12, 10:11 AM #22
Sure right, I have been using this for about a while now and it works crystal clear. I chat with my supplier regularly and we are across networks. The clarity is amazing, we were both shocked at how much clearer it is than the regular cell connection.
