"Scientists have developed "nanoneedles" that have successfully prompted parts of the body to generate new blood vessels, in a trial in mice.The researchers, from Imperial College London and Houston Methodist Research Institute in the USA, hope their nanoneedle technique could ultimately help damaged organs and nerves repair themselves and help transplanted organs thrive.In a trial described in Nature Materials, the team showed they could deliver nucleic acids DNA and siRNA to back muscles in mice. After seven days there was a six-fold increase in the formation of new blood vessels in the mouse back muscles, and blood vessels continued to form over a 14 day period.The nanoneedles are tiny porous structures that act as a sponge to load significantly more nucleic acids than solid structures. This makes them more effective at delivering their payload. They can penetrate the cell, bypassing its outer membrane, to deliver nucleic acids without harming or killing the cell.The nanoneedles are made from biodegradable silicon, meaning that they can be left in the body without leaving a toxic residue behind. The silicon degrades in about two days, leaving behind only a negligible amount of a harmless substance called orthosilicic acid."
The hope is that one day scientists will be able to help promote the generation of new blood vessels in people, using nanoneedles, to provide transplanted organs or future artificial organ implants with the necessary connections to the rest of the body, so that they can function properly with a minimal chance of being rejected.
"This is a quantum leap compared to existing technologies for the delivery of genetic material to cells and tissues," said Ennio Tasciotti, Co-Chair, Department of Nanomedicine at Houston Methodist Research Institute and co-corresponding author of the paper.

These points from the article are soothing in a way.
1. Innovation has to enhance something
2. Innovation needs to destroy something old
3. An innovation returns us to something that we feel we've lost
4. Innovation over time becomes anti-innovation

I've read an article (that I need to find) about how block chain technology could solve issues of copyright and creative works protection. I have to find it.
excerpt: "Entrepreneurs worldwide are now working to harness that technology for use beyond Bitcoin transactions. The block chain, they say, could ultimately upend not only the traditional financial system but also the way people transfer and record financial assets like stocks, contracts, property titles, patents and marriage licenses — essentially anything that requires a trusted middleman for verification."

It is up to a group of proteins known as chromosomal proteins to unlock the information required to trigger a function in a given cell—to form a bone, determine eye color, metabolize food, fight infections or any other function. While significant information is available about the structure and functions of chromosomal proteins, very little is known about their origin and evolution. The team of researchers is the first to explain the mechanisms responsible for the evolutionary diversification of a specific group of chromosomal proteins known as High Mobility Group Nucleosome-binding (HMG-N) proteins.

Magnetism is light: Why do magnets stick? Magnets attract each other because they exchange photons, or the particles that make up light. But unlike the photons streaming out of a desk lamp or reflecting off of everything you see around you, these photons are virtual, and your eyes (or any particle detector) can't "see" them. They can, however, exchange momentum, and this is why they stick to things or repel them. When a kid throws a dodge ball, they're exchanging momentum with the ball, and the thrower feels a slight push back. Meanwhile the target person feels the force of the ball, and (maybe) gets knocked over — they are "repelled" from the thrower. With photons, the process can also happen in reverse, as though one kid reached out and grabbed the ball while the other was still hanging on to it, which would look like an attractive force.

Hunger motivates people to consume food, for which finding and acquiring food is a prerequisite. We test whether the acquisition component spills over to nonfood objects: Are hungry people more likely to acquire objects that cannot satisfy their hunger? Five laboratory and field studies show that hunger increases the accessibility of acquisition-related concepts and the intention to acquire not only food but also nonfood objects. Moreover, people act on this intention and acquire more nonfood objects (e.g., binder clips) when they are hungry, both when these items are freely available and when they must be paid for. However, hunger does not influence how much they like nonfood objects. We conclude that a basic biologically based motivation can affect substantively unrelated behaviors that cannot satisfy the motivation. This presumably occurs because hunger renders acquisition-related concepts and behaviors more accessible, which influences decisions in situations to which they can be applied.

An experiment not much bigger than a tabletop, using ultra-cold metal plates, could serve up a cosmic feast. It could give us a glimpse of quantum gravity and so lead to a "theory of everything": one that unites the laws of quantum mechanics, governing the very small, and those of general relativity, concerning the monstrously huge.
Such theories are difficult to test in the lab because they probe such extreme scales. But quantum effects have a way of showing up unexpectedly. In a strange quantum phenomenon known as the Casimir effect, two sheets of metal held very close together in a vacuum will attract each other.
The effect occurs because, even in empty space, there is an electromagnetic field that fluctuates slightly all the time. Placing two metal sheets very close to one another limits the fluctuations between them, because the sheets reflect electromagnetic waves. But elsewhere the fluctuations are unrestricted, and this pushes the plates together.
James Quach at the University of Tokyo suggests that we might be able to observe the equivalent effect for gravity. That would, in turn, be direct evidence of the quantum nature of gravity: the Casimir effect depends on vacuum fluctuations, which are only predicted by quantum physics.
But in order to detect it, you would need something that reflects gravitational waves – the ripples in space-time predicted by general relativity. Earlier research suggested that superconductors (for example, metals cooled to close to absolute zero such that they lose all electrical resistance) might act as mirrors in this way.
"The quantum properties of superconductors may reflect gravitational waves. If this is correct, then the gravitational Casimir effect for superconductors should be large," says Quach. "The experiment I propose is feasible with current technology."
It's still unclear if superconductors actually reflect gravitational waves, however. "The exciting part of this paper has to do with a speculative idea about gravitational waves and superconductors," says Dimitra Karabali at Lehman College in New York. "But if it's right, it's wonderful."

Thick armor and jaws packed full of teeth aren't the only defences that alligators and crocodiles have. They also have formidable immune systems and some of the protective molecules that enable this have now been identified. Their discovery in the blood of the American alligator might even pave the way for a new generation of antibiotics.
Crocodilians have existed on Earth for at least 37 million years. Over the course of their evolution, they have developed a very strong defence against infection. "They inflict wounds on each other from which they frequently recover without complications from infection despite the fact that the environments in which they live are less than sterile," says Barney Bishop of George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, co-author of the new study.
American alligators have an enviable innate immune system, the "primitive" first line of defence that is shared by all vertebrates. In 2008, chemists in Louisiana found that blood serum taken from the reptiles destroyed 23 strains of bacteria and depleted reserves of the HIV virus. The germ-killing molecules were identified as enzymes that break down a type of lipid.
Although their results have yet to lead to any new antibiotics, enzymes aren't the only pathogen-busting molecules that alligators have up their sleeve. Bishop's group has now identified and isolated peptides known as a CAMPs or cationic antimicrobial peptides. These molecules are positively charged so the team developed nanoparticles to electrostatically pick them out of the complex mix of proteins in alligator blood plasma.
In total, the group fished out 45 peptides. Of these, they chemically synthesised eight and evaluated their antimicrobial properties. Five killed some of the E.colibacteria they were presented with, while the other three destroyed most of theE.coli and also showed some activity against bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which can cause inflammation and sepsis, and Staphylococcus aureus, which can trigger skin infections, sinusitis and food poisoning. So far, the strains have performed well, says Bishop. Identifying novel antimicrobial peptides is urgently needed because of the growing problem of antibiotic resistance, says Guangshun Wang at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha. "Because of the novelty of the sequences," he says, "these peptides provide new templates for developing antimicrobials to combat superbugs."

Building on previous studies targeting the amygdala, a team of researchers has found that some brain cells recognize emotions based on the viewer's preconceptions rather than the true emotion being expressed.
Sharrock's insight:
"These are very exciting findings suggesting that the amygdala doesn't just respond to what we see out there in the world, but rather to what we imagine or believe about the world," says Ralph Adolphs, the Bren Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience at Caltech and coauthor of a paper that discusses the team's study. "It's particularly interesting because the amygdala has been linked to so many psychiatric diseases, ranging from anxiety to depression to autism. All of those diseases are about experiences happening in the minds of the patients, rather than objective facts about the world that everyone shares."

"Because the pitch of both the one-dimensional and two-dimensional structures is sensitive to the frequency of the standing surface acoustic wave field, this technique allows for the patterning of nanowires with tunable spacing and density," the researchers report in a recent issue of ACS Nano. The nanowires in solution will settle in place onto the substrate when the solution evaporates, preserving the pattern. The researchers note that the patterned nanowires could then be transferred to organic polymer substrates with good accuracy by placing the polymer onto the top of the nanowires and with slight pressure, transferring the nanowires.

Power, Profits Key Ingredients at Produced By Panel
Lawyers and finance experts pulled back the curtain for a look at how profit participations are born and where they sometimes end up.
Like companies, it turns out that profit participations have a lifecycle: They're born, they struggle and, eventually, they may get bought out. So explained a panel of experts under the questioning of Green Hasson Janks LLP's David J. Robinson to a full house at a Sunday afternoon session at the Produced By conference on the Fox lot.
As befit the conference, the focus was on profit participations for producers.
Superstar lawyer Ken Ziffren of Ziffren Brittenham set the scene, saying there are probably only 10 or 15 producers in town who command deals on the order of a $2 million fee against 7.5 percent of the adjusted gross. Other producers are looking at deals with participations that don't kick in until the distributor has received 10 percent distribution fees and has recouped production and distribution costs -- a so-called CBE 10 deal (cash break-even 10) -- or a net participation deal, which is similar to CBE 10 but with fees of around 32 percent.
"The deals that are being done reflect the bargaining strength of the parties," ZIffren said. "The more sophisticated and powerful the producer, the better the deal."
Of course, that doesn't always mean payments will always flow smoothly and in accord with the deal, or what the producer believes it to be. That's when it may be time to have a participations auditor examine the contract and the books and records. Steve Sills of Green Hasson Janks, one of the top such auditors, discussed that process.
Audits often lead to settlements of the disputed sums, but sometimes the next step is litigation. Veteran litigator Michael J. Kump of Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump and Aldisert ("I don't often get invited onto the Fox lot," he quipped) talked about trends in participation litigation. Because the industry is so highly integrated, related party transactions -- more bluntly known as self-dealing -- are often an issue, Kump said. Also common: arbitration clauses, which divert these disputes from the scrutiny of courts and juries.
Interestingly, after fighting so hard to obtain participations, some producers and others may find themselves wanting to sell off the participation -- that is, reduce it to a lump sum. That's where Content Partners LLC can step in. According to Steve Blume, the company's co-founder, COO and CFO, they buy participations.
But why do people want to sell? Blume described several circumstances:
Liquidity. The cash may be needed to pay off debts or finance a luxury purchase. Or, for instance, a talent agency with participation interests may wish to buy out its existing older leadership to make way for new leaders.
Certainty of amount. By selling the participation and buying an annuity with the proceeds, a retiree can smooth the inherent uncertainty of a participation.
Untenable situations. It's great to co-own a participation with a spouse or business partner -- until divorce or a business dissolution makes it not so great. Selling the participation and dividing the proceeds can end the necessity of continuing to deal with an untenable personal or business relationship.
Structural reasons. A private equity fund may face a dilemma: Profit participations are often perpetual, but a fund may have a five-year term. Selling the participation may be necessary in order to return capital at the time promised. Banks exiting the entertinment sector may have a need to reduce a participation to cash. And the death of a profit participant can create awkwardness; rather than splitting the control and ongoing proceeds of a participation among several beneficiaries, it may be easier to sell the participation.

Sir Ken Robinson's groundbreaking book The Element introduced listeners to a new concept of self-fulfillment through the convergence of natural talents and personal passions. The Element has inspired people all over the world and has created for Robinson an intensely devoted following. Now comes the long-awaited companion, the practical guide that helps people find their own Element. Among the questions that this new book answers are:
Finding Your Element comes at a critical time, as concerns about the economy, education, and the environment continue to grow. The need to connect to our personal talents and passions has never been greater. As Robinson writes in his introduction, wherever you are, whatever you do, and no matter how old you are, if you're searching for your Element, this book is for you.

I'm not sure. This is the first time that I have felt the need for the printed version. Unfornately, as of date, the book is only available in hard back.
This book has many parallels to many spiritual teachings, from which the author occasionally quotes, but it is your choice as to whether you see finding your element a spiritual jouney or merely a way of finding the right career path for yourself or a child.
All the exercises are valuable tools and I loved the personal stories of how some people found their element.
What makes you happy? When are you at your happiest. This would have been suprisingly difficult to answer before completing just three of the exercises - now it just seems so obvious!
If you are like me, you are an audible subscriber because you prefer to listen to books whilst you are on the move. With this book however, if you really want to Find Your Element, you are going to have to sit down to listen and have certain tools available ( the author suggests these at the begining of the book) Because of this I went to buy the printed copy but I didn't like the hardback version as it can't be manipluated in the same way as a paper back. So it is a little frustrating to listen to questions asked and to do the exercises given whilst constantly pausing and rewinding. That said - that is what I am prepared to do as, having only completed three of the ten exercises I can already see a pattern and have noticed a shift in my behaviour as a result! Inpatient as I am, I listen to the book on the move and then when I come home, and I have time alone UNDISTURBED! (that is essential), I re-listen to the chapters and do the exersises.
My Headline stated that this book involved some work - that may just be me!. My personality type does not predispose me to sitting down with, pens, paper, coloured pens, vision boards etc.. but I strongly believe that the outcome will be worth that extra effort. No doubt, some people will not find this 'work' at all :-D

I found this to be very helpful. I am in transition as I approach retirement age.

Paramount Forward Thinking
On how we absolutely need to change the way we teach and direct our kids. They are all full of greatness and we are trusting in a broken system to enhance their lives. People are more complex than a simple industrial school system. We are not even getting close to tapping their true potential.
Yes, this does not fall short. He does a great job of presenting his thoughts.
their are more to us and we need to be more responsible to help pull out the greatness in our kids and truly help them on their journey to find their element.
Great thought provoking book. Ken Richards really pushes some hot buttons that make you think.
I work in IT, I love reading, I love Writing and for those daily travels too and fro I love to listen to Audible books too
"Excellent - enough said."
This book was actually recommended to me and although not even in my interests I found this book remarkable and eye opening. I intend listening to again to cover what I may have missed. Well worth the credit or purchase
"Not really for me"
This book may be a good match for a young person trying to find his or her way in life. As a midlife career-changer, however, I find the advice trivial and obvious, and the exercises childish. I gave up cutting things out of magazines & pasting them into collages around about the age of 10.
"Loved the exercises"
The exercises were fun and helpful. I enjoyed the book, its humor, and the reminder of having purpose in your life.
"The subject matter is great"
This book is great but you'd probably be better off buying the actual book and treating it more like a workbook as you read along.
I would recommend the audio book to young adults and retired persons. I loved it.
Really good book. Makes me think about more things that I am doing in my life.
I love scientific books, science fiction, books that reveal secrets, books about psychology, social behavior, physics, economics, inventions
"Changing the spirt of generations"
This book is changing my mind completely and it will change millions more soon. A revolutionary change in a single book Im impressed. Would love to chat with the author one day.

text: beef State-Inspected Meat Can Be Sold To Businesses-But Only In Wyoming By Melodie Edwards • Oct 6, 2014 Roger Wollstadt The Powder River Basin Resource Council's Bill Bensel says without a USDA meat plant in Wyoming local meats can't get to state schools and stores. However, the Wyoming Department of Agriculture's Derek Grant says that's not true. "Our producers can take their livestock to those meat plants and then sell the products in the state of Wyoming to restaurants and school and individuals." Bensel says the problem is that there are too few slaughtering plants—only 12 state wide—to make it economically feasible for ranchers to process in-state. Price Of Beef Impacted By Nation-Wide Drought By Melodie Edwards • May 14, 2014 The price of beef hit an all-time record this quarter at $5.55 a pound—a full 25 cents higher than last year at this time. Ann Wittmann, Director of the Wyoming Beef Council, says it's a case of supply and demand. A nation-wide drought has reduced herd sizes to the lowest they've been in 60 years and that is driving up the price for both consumers and producers. Wyoming Beef Goes Modern By Melodie Edwards • Feb 26, 2014 The Wyoming Beef Council is launching an online campaign in an effort to improve beef's image with the millennial generation. That's anyone born between 1980 and the early 2000's. The campaign will feature recipes on social media sites popular with millennials.

|After living in London for 4+ years
I would say that the most competitive major league is the Bundesliga and even in the UK some argue it is the most exciting league. The EPL is always going to be won by one of 5 teams (Arsenal, Man U, Man City, Liverpool, Chelsea), so either you get behind one of these teams and support them loudly or you support a team who you are hoping can sneak into the Europa League, which is accomplished by finishing in the top 8 of the EPL. The Europa League is the second tier international club cup, whereas the Champions League is the top tier international club cup (the usual contenders for these Europa League spots include Tottenham, Everton - not this year, Aston Villa, Stoke, Fulham - probably not this year, Bolton, Sunderland). Then all other teams and some of these teams listed for the Europa League will also flirt with demotion. But the point is that teams that are not amongst the top 5 will play quite negatively (defensively) when they play against one of the top 5, so you will see teams bunker into defense like you saw in the Champions League game you watched, particularly when they are on the road against the top 5 just trying to get a point for a draw as that point could be the one that keeps them from being relegated at the end of the season. This happens in most leagues though.
The two best teams in the world play in Spain in Real Madrid and Barcelona, but that league is on strike right now and it seems like it may drag on for some while, as both sides are saying really nasty things about one another in the papers.
Italian football is riddled by match fixing etc on a regular basis and even when it is not, I do not much care for it.
But in short my advice would be to choose a team in the league you can see most regularly and easiest, as it is no fun to support a team you cannot watch. Then watch them in all of the league and cup games across the season -- each country has at least 2 national cups (the English ones have huge tradition and history) that teams will play for during the season in addition to the regular league games and then if you choose one of the top teams you will be able to watch them in the Champions or Europa League (i don't know if Europa League is shown in the States or not but it is a fun competition as well, if you have a team to support). Also, I would suggest finding a bar to go watch the games, particularly if you live in a city in America where there will be immigrants watching the games live as soccer is all about the fan atmosphere.
Then in the summers there are always the international competitions to get sucked into either the World Cup, Gold Cup, European Championships, African Nations, ... And here you will be able to cheer on the players you begin to enjoy watch playing in the league you choose to support.

|These are brilliant
I think I first learned of them from this site, and every Monday is like Christmas for me now. Thanks for all of the hard work and sharing it for free.
|4 years 29 weeks ago
|Two questions
1) Does anyone else think that Michigan should have called timeout before the UConn TD play? It seemed to me that as the half was nearing the end a timeout there may have had little adverse affect and would have allowed the defense to gather themselves to try to make a big stop on UConn. Probably wouldn't have mattered seeing how Michigan struggled spectacularly in short yardage plays yesterday, but just curious what ideas might have been as to why not to call timeout there?
2) I was disappointed to see so few depth players get significant playing time. I know that the game wasn't a complete blow out but I felt like the last drive Michigan had could have been conducted by the second string offense, maybe they would not have effective and therefore it would have been a bad idea, but anyway, it seems like some key players on both sides of the ball played late into the game during which time the game had already been decided and therefore just leaving them open to the chance of picking up a needless injury. Anyway, it is nitpicking I know but again just curious of others thoughts.
Other than that a great win, and I am hoping that next weekend I will feel as positive on Sunday.

|Thank you Tom, Brian & mgocommunity
I find it amazing that Rothstein can report what he did and then after seeing the video posted on this site, edits the column by removing the sentence about Tate being the third person leaving the field. Is that how it works? You write a report and then when something is proved false then you retract that part of the story and expect that the community will believe the rest of the story is still 100% accurate. What kind of Mitch Albom-ish reporting is that? Don't let the facts get in the way of a negative report to try to steal the thunder from a good win by the UofM football team. Unfortunately, from reading the comments over at annarbor.com the community seems to be quick to accept the story as 100% accurate. Then, the editor edits the article to include mention of Tom's interview with Mike Forcier. And I see that Carty crawled out from whatever rock he was hiding under and is posting on the NYT Quad blog and is more than happy to pump out his buddy's at least partially incorrect story.
Anyway, thank you to those of you here who help to get the full story out there. And as far as Tate if he wants to quit then he can quit as far as I am concerned. I just hope that at some point he grows up and doesn't regret quitting in the face of adversity.

|Yeah great post Coach
Made me start thinking about my favourite memory of the Ohio State games, and for me it has to be the '97 game. I was a senior and with some of best friends and we were having a grand old time, and I still remember those amongst us who decided to rush the field and those who decided to stay in the seats and just the atmosphere was awesome. The images of Charles Woodson with the rose in his mouth strutting around the field after the game, and just the mayhem of the students on the field. And then the realisation that I had to go to the Rose Bowl and cheer on this magnificent team on more time. It was great.
And initially, I wasn't as upset as others about the plan to move the date of the game til earlier in the year, but I must admit that well written pieces like this one have started to get me fired up about the topic.

I cannot wait for the World Cup. I love the game of soccer in general, but the buzz over here is amazing for this tournament. So myself and a few other Michigan grads are going out to watch the game together in a pub in town. Should be a good time, will be decked out in USA gear inside the pub but will cover it up to and from as I am not looking to get killed.

|Can't wait for the world cup
I am living in London and I cannot wait to wear the US strip into a pub on June 12th, that could be much more similar to the Thunderdome scenario referenced by Brian. Random thoughts on the 30 man roster:
I think that Beasley will make the cut partially because Bradley may play him as left back in situations.
I think that the US will play a 1-5-4 or a christmas tree type formation (with Landon and Deuce both playing off Altidore) against England whether that is what look they come out in or not it is what they will play I think.
Here in England the supporters of the relative clubs love Deuce and Holden and I think Altidore will have a big cup, playing for Hull was no cup of tea this year, and he will want to make some loot after the World Cup.
I will try to keep a blog going during the world cup with photos and stories of what watching the World Cup in London is like ... at least until the MGoCrowd say it is rubish and tell me to stop.
U..S..A! Go Fulham, huge game tonight and I hope they can pull it off.

27 year old man | Bay Park, CA, USA | Seeking women 21-27 within 20 miles of San Diego, CA
I am a gentleman and a scholar
I am an adventurous, friendly, and hard working guy. I enjoy meeting new people and broadening my horizons. I am really easy to get along with and have a great sense of humor. I enjoy going out during my free time or just staying in for an easy night watching a movie. My friends would describe me as witty, helpful, a bit sarcastic, and overall down to earth. In my free time I enjoy going with friends to dive bars or new restaurants. I am not really into the clubbing scene, and would rather go to a bar or pub. Whenever I am staying in I really enjoy to cook and have some awesome wine, watch some netflix, or read. I love traveling and have been to some very interesting places and have plans for more adventures. I am currently in Law School so that takes up a large amount of my time, but I still find time to have fun. I try to go to concerts when it's a band I like. I have very odd tastes in music according to my friends. I listen to anything from metal to some country, but I avoid rap and electronic music. I enjoy hiking and exploring new places in San Diego since I am still relatively new here. I also like to go skiing or snowboarding. I am usually up for any sort of outdoor activity and there are many things I still want to try such as sky diving and wake boarding. I am always down to try something new! I am looking for someone who shares my interests, is down to earth, and likes to travel. Someone who is fun, know how to joke around, and overall is a happy person that enjoys a good laugh. Being adventurous and open to new things is also a plus! I am a total romantic and tend to go out of my way to make my partner in crime feel happy. If you are someone looking for a long term relationship with a happy, driven, and adventurous guy I would love to hear from you!

3/28/2015 | Lynn battles elements in second spring start
Despite needing 40-plus pitches to navigate through his first two innings, Lance Lynn looked sharp against a fairly formidable Tigers lineup in his second start of the spring and ended up finishing five innings with a pitch count of 81.
3/28/2015 | Feeling left arm fatigue, Garcia unlikely for Opening Day
Just as the Cardinals began to allow themselves to get excited about what a healthy Jaime Garcia could add to their rotation, the lefty suffered another medical setback that will almost certainly preclude him from making the Opening Day roster.
3/28/2015 | Freeman trade starts to bring clarity to Cards' bullpen
His roster status complicated by being an out-of-options player, lefty Sam Freeman, a 32nd-round draftee of the Cardinals in 2008, was traded to the Rangers on Saturday in exchange for cash considerations or a player to be named later.
3/28/2015 | Cardinals HOF candidacy brings back fond memories for Morris
This is the fourth in a series of stories profiling the eight modern candidates on the Cardinals' 2015 Hall of Fame ballot.
3/28/2015 | Solid Lynn holds Tigers' lineup in check
Cardinals starter Lance Lynn allowed six hits over five innings but walked none against five strikeouts.
3/27/2015 | Lackey virtually ready for season after gem
After using his first two spring starts to focus on specific pitches, John Lackey met with catcher Yadier Molina on Friday morning, asking him to call the game as he would in the regular season. What followed was a seven-inning performance from Lackey that the Cardinals would certainly take in such a setting.
3/27/2015 | Regardless of role, Martinez pleased with progress
If Friday was indeed the final chance for Carlos Martinez to make his case to the Cardinals that he should earn the final spot in their rotation, the right-hander went out with a flourish, closing with what he considered his best outing of the spring.
3/27/2015 | Ortega finds power stroke in breakout for Cards
Outfielder Rafael Ortega went 2-for-22 in Grapefruit League play before the Cardinals sent him out to Minor League camp as part of their most recent wave of cuts on Monday. He returned on Friday and made the impression that he probably wished he could have made sooner.
3/27/2015 | Ortega's homers back Lackey's seven strong
Starters Matt Harvey and John Lackey each looked sharp in their penultimate starts of Grapefruit League play on Friday, though it was the Cardinals who came away with a 5-4 split-squad victory.
3/27/2015 | Martinez cuts ERA in latest bid for Cards' rotation
Right-hander Carlos Martinez made his case in the competition for the final spot in the Cardinals' rotation during Friday's 1-1 tie with the Nationals. Martinez allowed one run on five hits in five innings while striking out six and walking two.
3/27/2015 | Bell has right DNA to thrive as Cards' bench coach
With manager Mike Matheny accompanying half the club to Viera, Fla., for the road portion of Friday's split-squad day, bench coach David Bell slid into the manager's seat for the home game against the Mets. Given his own coaching climb and bloodlines, it's an undertaking that suited Bell well.
3/26/2015 | Indoor session proves more productive for Wainwright
Adam Wainwright had very specific goals going into his penultimate start of the spring on Thursday. And he left the complex confident he had accomplished them -- even if it had happened mostly outside the public eye.
3/26/2015 | Heyward ends drought, while Waino a bit shaky
Giancarlo Stanton blasted a home run and tacked on an RBI double on Thursday as the Marlins edged the Cardinals, 5-3, at Roger Dean Stadium. The Miami slugger connected for the second time this spring, unloading a mammoth drive off Adam Wainwright in the first inning.
3/26/2015 | Holliday downplays age, seeks better start to season
As left fielder Matt Holliday prepares for his sixth full season with the Cardinals, he's seeking to fend off the often decreasing production that comes with increasing age.
3/25/2015 | Shannon shares his take on Cards' expectations
Cardinals radio broadcaster Mike Shannon, who has been watching the club throughout Spring Training, shared his thoughts on what he has seen over the past month and provided his take on what to expect in the year ahead.
3/25/2015 | Wacha not walking, issues first free pass of spring
Michael Wacha, like most players, doesn't concern himself much with Spring Training statistics. That is, except for one. "One I look at," he admitted, "is walks." Wacha has to like what he's seeing these days from that stat line
3/25/2015 | Wacha sets tone with stingy start before Cards win late
Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha and Nationals Opening Day starter Max Scherzer were engaged in a terrific pitchers' duel to start Wednesday's matchup at Roger Dean Stadium, before the Cards broke through in the eighth inning for a 1-0 victory.
3/25/2015 | Tennis anyone? Jay introduces unique training method
Inspired by a drill that he saw at a University of Miami football practice, Jon Jay prepared for this season with the assistance of a tennis-ball machine. He wasn't the only Cardinals player to employ the unique resource, either.
3/25/2015 | Matheny provides hint at projected season lineup
Manager Mike Matheny may not be ready to commit to a regular-season batting order, but the one he utilized for Wednesday's game against Washington offered a sneak peek at what it could be.
3/25/2015 | Injured Pham running out of time to secure bench job
A left quad strain that Tommy Pham had hoped would sideline him for only a few days has seemingly derailed his chances at winning a bench spot on the Cardinals' Opening Day roster.
3/24/2015 | Odd man out? Tough decisions a good problem to have
Tough decisions are good decisions. Tough decisions mean that the players didn't settle things for you by blowing out their elbows or striking out every trip to the plate or injuring themselves sneezing. Tough decisions mean all those things you liked about these guys on paper are here now, in real life, and it's your job to decide what to do with them. If things continue as is, the Cardinals are going to have an awfully tough decision to make at the back of their rotation.
3/24/2015 | Garcia optimistic after 80-pitch simulated game
With an 80-pitch simulated game on Tuesday, Jaime Garcia passed another necessary endurance test while pushing the Cardinals closer to having to make a decision about his season-opening status.
3/24/2015 | Torre's impact on Cards exemplified by HOF candidacy
This is the third in a series of stories profiling the eight modern candidates on the Cardinals' 2015 Hall of Fame ballot. Joe Torre and Major League Baseball have often been one and the same.
3/24/2015 | Checking in: 7 spring questions for the Cardinals
Before the opening of Grapefruit League play, there were seven big questions the Cardinals needed to answer during the 28-game spring slate. Nearly three weeks in, the club has already crossed some of those off the list. Others still require clarity. With the Cardinals enjoying their final off-day of Spring Training before the push to Opening Day, it seems appropriate to revisit those seven questions.
3/24/2015 | Pipeline Perspectives: Cards have best system of past five years
Without the benefit of drafting near the top of the first round for years, the Cardinals have been annual playoff participants for the past four seasons, making it at least to the National League Championship Series each time with typically the most homegrown roster of all the playoff teams.

Barack Obama/on homosexuality and gay rights
From OpenCongress Wiki
| This article is part of the
SourceWatch and Congresspedia coverage
of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and
the 2008 presidential election
|Main article:
|Democratic ticket "top tier"
George W. Bush spiritual advisor = Obama endorser
On January 19, 2008, George W. Bush's spiritual advisor, Rev. Kirbyjon H. Caldwell, Senior Pastor of Kingdom Builders of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Texas,[1] endorsed Barack Obama[2] and "will campaign on his behalf." Caldwell heads the Metanoia ministry, "a program created to provide Christ Centered instruction for those seeking freedom from homosexuality, lesbianism, prostitution, sex addiction and other habitual sins."[3][4]
Rev. Caldwell accompanied Obama on his weekend campaign tour [see below] in Columbia, S.C., in late October 2007.[5]

Obama won't pull anti-gay bigot from campaign event
Obama refuses to pull Donnie McClurkin,[6] "a black preacher who sang at the Republican National Convention in 2004, [who] has gained notoriety for his view that homosexuality is a choice and can be 'cured through prayer', a view ridiculed by gay people",[7] from his Embrace the Change campaign gospel concert tour[8] October 26, 27 and 28, 2007, in Charleston, Greenwood, and Columbia, South Carolina, respectively.[9]
"Obama released a statement[10] denouncing McClurkin's views, but did not say he wouldn't appear with him."[11]
Also appearing with Obama are the gospel singers sisters duo Mary Mary.[12] Jasmyne Cannick wrote October 23, 2007, that Mary Mary "made it crystal clear earlier this year in an interview with Vibe Magazine[13][14] how they felt about gays. When asked how they felt about homosexuality and having a gay following they likened gays to prostitutes and murderers."[15]

Controversy: Council adviser Michael Bauer
Michael Bauer, a "top Democratic fundraiser in Chicago and gay activist, considers himself one of Obama's top gay backers nationally."[17]
During the March 2007 Democratic presidential debate, Obama stumbled in his "initial statements when asked whether he believed gay acts are immoral, a view asserted a few days earlier by Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, when asked by the [Chicago] Tribune about the military's 'don't ask, don't tell' policy." Bauer said at the time that "the senator's initial responses to the morality question left him shaken and disappointed" and "declined to comment for the record on whether Obama's stance would hurt his fundraising among gays, lesbians and progressives."[17]
As a result, in August 2007 Bauer became "part of Obama's National LGBT Leadership Council", "advising him on gay issues," Tahman Bradley wrote in August 2007 for the Political Radar Blog.[18]
Bradley identified Bauer as a registered lobbyist with Res Publica Group, "a Chicago based firm that serves corporate and noncorporate clients." No federal lobbyist registration for Bauer exists with Res Publica, although he is registered as a lobbyist with the state of Illinois.[19]
"The Obama campaign lists Bauer as a community activist," Bradley wrote.[18]
Identified in a May 2007 Chicago Sun-Times article as a consultant to Res Publica, Bauer was considered a possible liability to the Obama campaign:[20]
- "One faction wants Obama to oust fund-raiser Michael Bauer from his finance committee and from a panel that advises the campaign on gay and lesbian issues.
- "The other faction respects Bauer as a nationally known fund-raiser who serves on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's finance committee as well as Obama's and Sen. Dick Durbin's. He was a delegate to the 2000 and 2004 Democratic National conventions.
- "Bauer's critics note he is serving the seventh month of a nine-month suspension of his law license for taking $300,000 from his nieces' and nephew's trust fund. The nieces and nephew sued to have Bauer removed as trustee, saying he would not tell them what he did with the money. Bauer was never charged with any crime.
- "During the same time he was taking money from the trust fund, his donations to national and local candidates totaled $300,000. But Bauer said the trust fund money went into his failing court-reporting business, not into donations."
The Sun-Times added that Bauer "rival" and "strong Obama supporter" Rick Garcia of Equality Illinois, "one of seven politically active gays who told the Sun-Times Obama should dump Bauer", said that he had "conveyed my concerns" about Bauer "to Obama's people as far back as a year ago and as recently as April [2007]."[20]
"'It's like the [Tony] Rezko thing: It's association with someone he perceives might be able to do him some good, but somebody who has a tarnished image,' said Louis Weisberg, founding editor of the gay-oriented Free Press. 'Between Rezko and Bauer, I wouldn't vote for Obama. I question his judgment.'"[20]
In spite of appeals from members of the gay community, "Obama is standing by Bauer, who raised $60,000 for him this year," the Sun-Times said in May 2007.[20]
