Mark's Gospel tells us that after Jesus had taken the Passover with His disciples "they sung a hymn" and went out to Gethsemane (Mark 14:26).
In all likelihood, the hymn came from the collection of six psalms known as the Hallel (praise), Psalms 113–118. These psalms were traditionally sung by a Jewish family as it partook of and completed the Passover meal.
Thus, if you want to know the portion of Scripture which sustained Jesus as He entered the most difficult hours of His life, you will find it here—beginning with Psalm 113.
If you were facing a garden of sorrow and a hill of crucifixion, would you have felt like beginning and ending your prayer with praise to the Lord (vv. 1,9)?
Jesus did. Why?
God on High
As Jesus entered the dark clouds of Gethsemane and Calvary, He fell back on what is always true. The seemingly out-of-control things happening to Him did not mean that God had lost track of Him.
You must learn to distinguish how you feel from what you know. You will not always feel God's presence. Your emotions may tell you God has abandoned you. You don't feel like praising the Lord. Yet, five times in the first three verses of this psalm, we are invited to praise the Lord—not blame Him, fuss at Him, or accuse Him—but praise Him.
There is a breathtaking sweep to the praise for it is: eternal—"now and forevermore" (v. 2); global—"from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets" (v. 3).
Jesus approached His dying hours in trust that what He did for us would produce a ceaseless and worldwide praise from His Church on earth.
Never project your weakness onto God. You may be powerless but He is powerful; you may be confused but He is not; you may be knocked off your feet but He sits enthroned on high (vv. 4,5).
God Bending Low
The latter half of this psalm reminds us that God above also "stoops down to look" (v. 6).
There are two kinds of looks: The priest and the Levite looked at the man lying wounded on the roadside of life but passed on without helping. The Good Samaritan looked, and his look produced the action of help. (See Luke 10:31–33.)
In Jesus Christ, God has stooped to look you in the face and help you.
Two groups benefit from the Lord's caring look:
1. The poor or needy (vv. 7,8). Jesus came with good news for the poor. (See Luke 4:18.) In fact, the kingdom of God is open only to those who say, "I need help." (See Matthew 15:25.) Jesus came not only for the poor in spirit, but also those lying on the pile of burned-out dreams and hopes, feeling worthless and used. He completely restores your value.
2. The barren (v. 9). In many cultures, a childless wife is looked upon as an unproductive member of society. Hannah represents a host of women who have cried their eyes out in anguish and grief, praying to conceive a child. (See 1 Samuel 1:8,16.)
No matter what the nature of your barrenness—these words remind you that God is committed to helping you.
Think of how this psalm must have fortified Jesus as He prepared to leave the Upper Room where He had taken the Passover with His disciples. The opening half refreshed His confidence in the greatness of His Father; the latter half deeply reminded Him of why He had come.

New York's Madison Square Garden has taken on a Swiss-Family-Robinson feel lately. This is due to an art exhibition featuring work by Tadashi Kawamata called Madison Square Tree Huts, which emerged completed on October 2. A gathering of small wooden houses up in the trees, folks passing through the park might find themselves grinning upward with wonderment at these small structures meant to shake up our notion of public space and how it interacts with ideas of urbanity, rural romanticism and play.
Constructed on-site with found materials and construction scraps, the huts are part of the Madison Square Art program, where the Park Conservancy works to put on thought-provoking displays in this sort of boundless gallery. Visitors had the opportunity to observe the tree huts come together over the month of September as part of an Artists in Residency program- its construction was documented on the project's blog. The huts were built in and amongst branches with a system of rubber sheaths and cut lumber ensures that the bark is never scraped or penetrated. The houses are also lodged far above visitors' heads, perhaps to discourage enthusiasts who might want to climb up and move into them.
The project's blog tells tales of giddy happenstance patrons with their necks craned back, taking photos. Younger enthusiasts attended a Tree Hut Family Art Workshop at the end of September, transforming piles of Popsicle sticks into their own treehouses. Despite the lack of a water wheel or helpful zebra buddies, the huts have been successful in bringing a sense of interruptive play to the area.

I am 6 weeks pregnant and for the last 2 my legs and feet have been swelling up about every other day...I thought it was due to the heat but it has cooled down the past few day and they are still swelling up. I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem? If it's normal? I don't know what to think.
Swelling in legs and feet?

How much water are you drinking? How much salt do you eat? Both can play a huge role in swelling. I never really swelled up my last pregnancy because I literally drank about a gallon of water a day (I also peed about 30 times a day!).
Kellie- Proud Mama to Benjamin Ryan (09/06/08) and Chelsea Sophia (02/18/12)
Caffeine is actually a diuretic and won't make the swelling worse. Still, I would stay away from it simply because you are pregnant.
Try drinking lemon water. Lemon juice is a natural diuretic. Just squeeze a lemon (or half a lemon if you're not crazy about the taste) into a glass of water and chug. I also concur with upping your water intake. It seems counterintuitive that if you're retaining water, you should drink more water to get rid of it...but it WORKS!

Thanks guys for all your advice...I drink TONS of water..Thats usually all I drink. I have been drinking pop here lately though, I am trying to stop..I will have to try the lemon juice. I love lemons..I did not know that they were diuretics though. I will be 7 weeks on wednesday. Thanks again for all your advice.

Neoseeker : Games : Playstation 3 : Action : Automobile : Grand Theft Auto IV
BackgroundGrand Theft Auto IV is a multiplatform action adventure game and the fourth flagship entry in Rockstar's wildly popular GTA series since the franchise was reimagined as an open world action adventure. GTAIV casts players as Niko Bellic, a war veteran from Eastern Europe who escapes to Liberty City in hopes of locating a man believed to have betrayed him and his unit in a war over a decade ago, and maybe even starting a new life.
Unfortunately Niko and his cousin Roman end up getting dragged into a power struggle involving Liberty City's criminal underworld and various other organizations, and players must help Niko decide how to settle the scores.
Players can explore four boroughs based on those of New York City on foot and in various vehicles from third person perspective (vehicles however offer an additional first person viewpoint). The storyline progresses based on missions, with many more optional missions available. Players can defend themselves and attack others using melee attacks and wide variety of firearms. The environment can also be used to the player's advantage during heated shootouts.
Should players choose to incite the ire of Liberty CIty's authorities, they'll earn a Wanted level that increases based on notoriety; should the level get high enough, players can expect some very heavy resistance from the national guard! Players can attempt to decrease the Wanted level by seeking cover and evading pursuit and capture from authorities.
GameplayBy using Euphoria, Endorphin and RAGE together, Grand Theft Auto IV is set to put a whole new meaning on next-gen.
The game uses a ragdoll physics engine Endorphin to create dynamic new cutscenes and in game action by allowing characters and objects to move as they would in real life as opposed to the simple animations seen in previous GTA games.
We also see the use of an engine called Euphoria, which puts a life-like intelligence into characters, including normal pedestrians. This will allow people in the game to detect danger and to do what they can to get themselves out of it, for example if they were falling from a cliff they would try to grab onto an object to stop them from falling rather than simply letting themselves plunge.
RAGE is the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine which allows them to add skins to the world of GTA and this is what we see make the graphics what they are. RAGE is set to give GTA IV a similar quality graphics-wise as we saw in Rockstar's Table Tennis game. These three working together creates a combination which we can see in action on the two trailers and which we will see on the final game, putting a highly life-like edge on the game.
FeaturesThe usual mission structure will return, expanded, allowing the player to start and take care of missions at any time within the allowed time, meaning the game's time system should be more structured than before. Grab a car and wreak havoc like all GTA fans love to. Take to the skies of Liberty in a chopper and utilise the new over-the-shoulder aiming feature to accurately take out your opponents.

I love my apartment and the staff is great. They have always been responsive and the parking lot is kept clear Read More of snow in the winter, even this winter when we had a TON of snow! My only gripe is that I was issued a warning for a noise complaint on a weekend I was out of town. There was no way that it could have been me as I was not even home. Other than that it has been great.

'Saturday Night Live' Spoofs the Kardashian Christmas
After serving for years as the ringmasters in their own circus of reality ridiculousness, Kim, Khloe, and Kourteney Kardashian finally get to take some time off from their busy schedule of keeping themselves in the public eye.
The free publicity comes courtesy of Saturday Night Live, where the girls were mercilessly lampooned by cast members Nasim Pedrad, Abby Elliott, and Vanessa Bayer for everything from their dating habits to Kim's notorious sex tape.
Despite their highly privileged lifestyle, SNL made sure to accurately depict the sisters' humility. Khloe (played by Abby Elliott), even goes as far as to explain her gratitude to her family, saying, "I'm thankful that four years ago, my sister made a sex tape with Brandy's brother and now our whole family is famous!"
Check out SNL's Kardashian parody after the jump!

Rooting Willows
Hi--I collected some cuttings of willows that are native to my area. They are only just flowering--will they root, or should I take some more cuttings when they have leafed out?
I also just stuck them in some water (which has been working for other things that I've rooted--including cleome, and I think verbena bonarenisis is rooting too! I rooted a bunch of salvia too! It's heady stuff getting all of these plants.)
If I were you, I'd leave the ones you have in water and see what happens. If they don't root that way - and I think they will - I'd take some cuttings in the summer when it's hot and humid, stick them in potting soil, put them in shady but well lit place, and keep them moist. I'm sure they'll root that way.
You can also try rooting hormones, which you can find at a local nursery... They have worked great for, but I have used your way to, in fact I have a White/Paper Birch grafting n water, now, hoping it will root soon.
Willows are the ultimate rooting HELPER. You can put hard to root plants in with willow cutting to encourage rooting.
No need for rooting hormones. They GET rooting hormones from willows.
Depending on the type, willows will root with no leaves on them. I have started many pussy willows and cork screw willows this way.
I often give bouquets with curly willow in them. And I let the recipient know that if they want their own willow plant they can just leave the willow cutting in the vase water and it will develop roots.
As a kid fishing in our rivers when it was safe to do so, we rooted many willows on the river banks. We would cut off forked branches from trees to use as rod holders. Our rod holders would root in no time in the warm wet sand along the bank.
As stated before, don't know that I would use a rooting hormone on something that is so easy to start.
Thank you for all of the help--that's interesting info about the willows helping other cuttings to root.
I did a little search about native willows to NH, and salix nigra seems to be the only one.
Here is a pic of the flowers and the stems; don't know how possible it is to ID from those, but just in case:
Don't make the mistake that I did. I ordered some black willow cuttings (there were at least a dozen) from someone on ebay. She/he had the cuttings wrapped in damp newspapers (I assume) and wrapped in plastic. When they got here they looked dead, but I thought I'd give them a chance. I left them in water for probably two months and they didn't do a thing. I emailed the person and explained what happened and never heard back from them. I guess it's not like you get your money back from those people if you get defective goods, so I don't know what I thought I'd accomplish by emailing the person. It didn't cost me a fortune, but still, I could have better spent that $13 or $14 (the shipping is what kills a person). Since then, I got a few saplings from a very nice person here on the forum and they are doing great. I don't know how fast they grow, but I'm hoping that I can attract some Viceroys, which I haven't yet seen here. There are several others that I've seen here but I would like to also get to see the cats...those being Eastern Comma, Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, Mourning Cloak, and Red-spotted Purple.
Last year, Linda got some cuttings of Salix nigra from Randy. I believe she just put them in a pot of dirt, kept it well watered, and they rooted just fine. I have one that she rooted, and have had no problems with it at all. Don't know that you even need to use water. Sometimes water makes for weaker roots. You might try both methods and see which one works the best for you.
Do they look like salix nigra?
Thanks Susan about the weaker roots tip. Didn't even occur to me! I like the gratification of watching the roots. Just don't know if I'm patient enough to wait to do the root tug. I peer and peer, scrutinizing every little bump for a little transluscent root.
I'll do both, so I get to watch the roots and get a stronger plant.
The twigs are now beginning to bud out.
Cathy, If this little experiment does indeed work out, I'd be happy to send some your way!
Woo-hoo! Generally, willow is very easy to root. Unfortunately, Cathy's didn't have a chance since they were DOA! There are some really good Ebay folks out there, including Randy. But it only takes a few bad ones to scare people off. I ordered seeds from a lady at Ebay and was very pleased with what I got.
If Randy sees this post, could you tell me how to locate you on Ebay?

Dictionary » P » Pair-rule gene
Pair-rule gene
A segmentation gene whose expression subdivides the embryo into a series of stripes, and sets the boundaries of the parasegments. It also regulates the subsequent expression of segment polarity genes.
These genes are sequentially expressed next to the gap genes and before the segment polarity genes. In fact, the gene products of gap genes, together with those of maternal genes, activate pair-rule genes.
Examples of pair-rule genes are: even-skipped, hairy, runt, fushi-tarazu, odd-skipped, paired, odd-paired, sloppy-paired, and Tenascin major. Defect in any of these genes results in missing pattern elements in alternate segments. For instance, defective even-skipped gene results in even-numbered parasegments missing in the body pattern of the Drosophila larva.

This condo is great. This is my third stay at this property and this by far is the nicest unit I have stayed. While the weather was cool during our stay it was all good. The electronics are a little worn as is the couch but everything else is great. Sleeping with the door open and listening to the waves at night doesn't get any better. Next time visiting, I hope this unit is available.
I have stayed here twice and absolutely loved it both times
This place was beautiful!!!! The couch is showing its usage and the lighting in the living room is too dark. Everything else was perfect!!!!! I return and I will rent this place again!!! You are close to everything in the area
My family and I had a wonderful time on our trip and were very happy with the condo at Silver Beach Towers. The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed. We will definitely return again!
Our unit was very nice, comfortable beds and nicely furnished. The view was incredible from the balcony and all bedroom windows. Our girls really enjoyed the hot tubs on the cooler nights. The beach service was very nice as well. The unit could use a better vacuum for sand on the tile floors.
We absolutely loved this condo!! It was immaculately decorated and very clean and comfortable. We definitely hope to come back again and stay in this condo.

Pluristem's PLX Cell Therapy For Muscle And Tendon Regeneration Will Revolutionize Sports Medicine
With football season underway, my thoughts run to player injury and how it keeps good athletes off the field with few options for recovery except the stale advice and medicine doctors offer. Rotator cuff damage is a good example. Surgery is invasive and has serious consequences. Rest and recovery takes months. Whether or not talent will be restored is always a question. Enter the questionable treatments: Regenexx, is a privately-held company pandering to sports superstars with promises of stem cell therapy that can't be substantiated. However, there is an answer - Pluristem (NASDAQ:PSTI), a leader in cell therapy, will soon conduct Phase I clinical trials for rotator cuff muscle and tendon regeneration that could bring sports medicine, already a $21 billion industry growing faster than the US GNP, into a new era. Pluristem's cell therapy has already shown efficacy in orthopedic medicine. In a successfully completed Phase I/II trial conducted at Germany's Charite University in Berlin under the auspices of Germany's Paul-Ehrlich Institut, the German equivalent of the FDA, Pluristem's PLX cells showed a 500% improvement over placebo in healing gluteal muscle injury.
The background to Pluristem's human clinicals in orthopedic medicine is impressive. Preclinicals for rotator cuff injury were done by Dr. Scott Rodeo of New York's Hospital of Special Surgery, who is also physician to the New York Giants and US Olympic Swimming Team. Results were successful enough for him to announce that PLX cells have a very good chance of accelerating tendon healing. Pluristem has assembled a very impressive Scientific Advisory Board comprised of Orthopedic Key Opinion Leaders, Doctors who are at the top of their field from institutions including the University of Oxford, Charite Hospital in Berlin, Boston University and Cornell University.
Almost 2 million Americans need surgery each year to repair rotator cuffs, the most common damage to the shoulder in active people. About one-third of patients are dissatisfied with results. Rotator cuff operations aren't cheap and normal activity cannot be resumed for four to six months. Surgery on large tears often cause muscle atrophy that is many times irreversible. Because of these drawbacks, professional athletes, regular recipients of rotator cuff injury, are leading the search for better options.
Stem cells appeal to sports luminaries because they penetrate the swollen wound of a torn muscle or ligament and their anti-inflammatory properties promote faster healing of injuries that keep them out of the game. However, FDA regulations condone only the use of autologous (from the individual) cells with strict procedural limitations, forcing most athletes to seek treatment overseas, where rules are more lax.
Los Angeles Angel Bartolo Colón received one of professional baseball's top honors, the Cy Young Award in 2005, but due to rips in the ligaments of his shoulder nearly quit in 2009, driving him to the Dominican Republic for a stem cell procedure. A few months later Colon was pitching at the top of his game for the New York Yankees with a 93-mile-per-hour fastball. Other professionals have followed his lead, reasoning that even if the treatment didn't work any health risks would be small because the cells involved are autologous.
Kobe Bryant, one of the NBA's best players and Olympian, sought stem cell treatment in Germany for a torn knee. Rehabilitation was quick, and Bryant went on to play a stellar 2012 season praising the power of cell therapy.
Bart Oates, center for the New York Giants during their Super Bowl XXI and XXV wins, sought stem cell treatment in Mexico, as did Peyton Manning, one of the greatest quarterbacks in football history, and Terrell Owens. Oates stated that many players leave the gridiron with lingering injuries that plague them for life, looking desperately for medical treatment that improves joint mobility. Stem cell therapy seemed like a good answer. However, US-based orthopedic surgeons have no control over the quality of stem cells given in other countries and worry about the legality of the clinics.
Whether injected stem cells rejuvenated Colon's arm or restored joint flexibility to others is an open question. Science takes a different view, citing FDA warnings that unapproved autologous stem cell treatment given to athletes could form tumors as the cells multiply and roam to other parts of the body. Animal studies show regenerated tissue from the body's own source is not durable. Scar tissue could develop and cause tendons or ligaments to stick to skin, pulling an even bigger tear in an already serious wound. There is a strong call for more clinical research.
Stem cell charlatans give false hope to professional athletes who respond to pressure from owners, coaches and team sponsors demanding top performance. Ignored is the importance of a thorough review process for safety and effectiveness, and proof that manufacturing is in line with regulations. In 2011 three men were arrested in the US and charged with 15 counts of criminal activity related to making, selling and using stem cells without FDA approval. The three defendants allegedly received more than $1.5 million from patients seeking treatment. Scandals like this only support Pluristem's integrity to follow proper regulatory channels.
Dozens of orthopedic stem cell institutes are sprouting up across the country and more orthopedic doctors are embracing cell therapy, treating hundreds of major sports figures. Believing in the healing properties of stem cells, the Jets' Chris Johnson earlier this year visited the Andrews Institute in Gulf Breeze, FL for treatment to help rebuild a torn meniscus. Bone marrow was extracted but because the FDA forbids any additional processing of cells they were immediately injected into the knee, limiting the number of stem cells to maybe 100,000 - far lower than the amount Pluristem could deliver - and apt to produce poorer results.
Pluristem's allogenic cells are an off-the-shelf treatment derived from human placentas. This means patients don't have to go through the painful process of extracting stem cells from their bones. What makes Pluristem's cells unique is that because they are from the placenta they are immuno-privileged. The placenta is designed by nature to not create an immune reaction in the mother. Therefore, it also does not trigger an unwanted immune response in the patient receiving the cells. When approved, Pluristem's PLX cells should make an already flourishing sports medicine industry skyrocket.
PLX cells from a world-class, multi-country approved manufacturing facility would be easy to get, store, and use. Injections are done intramuscularly so pain and inconvenience is minimized. Clinical data backing up claims and the simplicity of the procedure would grab the attention of every orthopedic surgeon answering requests from their athlete patients. The fear of sketchy treatment will be eliminated. Best yet, players would not have to undergo painful bone marrow extraction, avoiding a procedure that has a lot in common with treating leukemia.
For a $210 million market cap company on track to enter a multi-billion dollar market with explosive growth, Pluristem is a steal. This is in addition to the many other indications addressed by their vast pipeline, also targeting big medical money. PLX cell therapy is far superior to what top athletes now have at their disposal to fix sports injuries; further, players would reap the benefits of fast, durable healing without fear of unpleasant after-effects. Valuation is ridiculously low. By my estimates, shares should be trading between $20-$25 with a present-day market cap of up to $1.7 billion, still far below peers who sport thinner pipelines and lots of 'me-too' drugs that adds nothing to medicine's progress. In light of this, it is my opinion to aggressively accumulate Pluristem shares.Tags: PSTI, Sports medicine, Biotech, Israel, Rotator Cuff, Sports, Cell Therapy, Stem Cell, Pluristem, Ray DirksOct 16 3:30 PM | Link | 3 Comments
Blue Sphere Gets Equal Ownership Stake In Waste-To-Energy Projects Financed By Caterpillar
Companies in the global waste-to-energy market earned revenues of $18 billion in 2012 and research firm Frost & Sullivan estimates revenues in the sector will skyrocket to $29 billion by 2016. Driven by the demand for renewable sources of energy and growing mounds of trash in the industrialized world, this is clearly a growth market. Private venture capital and clean tech funds, as well as billion dollar giants like Caterpillar (CAT) are investing. The World Energy Council reported that between 2011 and 2012, the increase of venture capital and private equity investment into the waste-to-energy sector increased by 186% to a total investment of $1 billion. Blue chip players and large VC and hedge fund typically have access to ground floor investment opportunities that would not be available to public investors.
Blue Sphere (BLSP) an Israel-based energy company builds facilities that turn organic waste into electricity and it offers public investors a rare opportunity to invest in and co-own property with the Caterpillars and private funds of the world. Blue Sphere has just entered the U.S. waste-to-energy market. In 2014 the company will break ground on it first 5.2 megawatt waste-to-energy facility in North Carolina.
Deep pocked investors are funding the build out of the facility, which already has guaranteed long-term revenue contracts. Caterpillar is providing $17.8 million in project financing. A leading green tech fund is investing an additional $6 million in project financing. This $23.8 million is non-dilutive funding for the public investors of Blue Sphere because the funding comes in the form of project financing that goes directly into the facility build out. It is not money in exchange for Blue Sphere stock.
Blue Sphere itself does not invest millions into the facility like Caterpillar and the clean tech fund. However, it earned a 36% ownership stake in this first facility in exchange for the world-class expertise it brings to the table as project manager. This North Carolina facility is a model for how Blue Sphere will build out a large portfolio of waste-to-energy facilities across the U.S., all funded by others, with Blue Sphere keeping a growing equity stake in each one. Blue Sphere is already developing its second U.S. facility in Rhode Island and the company reports that by 2018 they plan to have 11 facilities built with 6 more under construction and development.
This presents a very unique public company situation. Companies typically go public to raise money from public investors in exchange for stock, and then reinvest this money into growing their business, which hopefully increases the value of the company for public investors. Blue Sphere is getting its growth capital not from public investors, but from the likes of Caterpillar and private investment funds. Public investors who become Blue Sphere shareholders in effect become co-owners of the facilities alongside Caterpillar.
North Carolina is just one project and Blue Sphere is looking to build many more. Building them becomes easier when you have guaranteed long term revenues contracts from some of the largest utility companies in the world. Major utilities including Duke Energy (NYSE:DUK) and National Grid (NGG) have both signed 15 year contracts to purchase electricity produced by Blue Sphere. In building out the rest of its portfolio of facilities, Blue Sphere plans to have similar financing and contracts from companies of similar caliber.
The U.S. market is ripe with opportunity now for waste-to-energy. Blue Sphere's focus on converting food waste into energy is a $6 billion global market and one of the fastest growing segments in renewable energy and waste-to-energy. There are only 202 anaerobic facilities where organic waste is turned into electricity in the entire U.S., whereas there are 7,000 in Germany alone. U.S. states are mandating that organic waste no longer be disposed of in landfills and that electric utilities buy a certain percentage of their electricity from renewable generated sources.
This is an opportunity for investors looking to take a position in the booming waste-to-energy market. Looking at other public companies that are active in the space, Waste Management (WM), the waste industry giant, reports it is engaged in some waste-to-energy projects. However, that only accounts for a small portion of its revenues. Covanta (CVA) has a $2.3 billion market cap and specializes in the conversion of waste to energy. However, Covanta is primarily engaged in solid waste like metal and plastic, not organic food waste. Covanta recently announced in October that through a partnership, it will start to offer organics to waste services in response to demand from municipalities.
Blue Sphere, with its $2 million market cap has a great opportunity to grow into a $2 billion market cap like Covanta. It is a rare occasion when public investors can participate in this kind of potential upside, starting at the ground level alongside billion dollar players that are providing non-dilutive growth capital.
Caterpillar, Duke, and National Grid have very likely done extensive due diligence into Blue Sphere before signing these high-value, long term contracts with the company. The fact that Blue Sphere locks in revenues with the largest utilities like Duke and National Grid through long-term power purchase agreements, even before the waste-to-energy facility has broken ground, creates low risk, high return projects, and the enables fast growth of Blue Sphere's portfolio.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.Tags: BLSP, CAT, CVA, DUK, NGG, Caterpillar, Covanta, Duke Energy, Waste Management, Blue Sphere
Pluristem's New Data Proves Potency For Its Clinical Platform
Readers of journalism, dependent on a daily diet of current news expect objectivity, clarity and at least some degree of intelligence. This did not happen in a recent piece printed in Globes, an Israeli news outlet. The Globes author, Gali Weinreb, made the mistake of trying to interpret upcoming clinical trial information surrounding one of the hottest biotech firms in her nation - Pluristem Therapeutics (PSTI) - who just recently revealed astounding news of efficacy in muscle injury after hip surgery, with their PLX-PAD cells showing 500% improvement over placebo in the change of maximal contraction force of the gluteal muscle.
From an article posted last Sunday, Ms. Weinreb failed to grasp the important fact that no one in the cell therapy industry but Pluristem can manufacture product at such low cost while keeping up quality and securing regulatory blessing. This will go a long way toward future commercialization. An uncomplimentary comparison between Pluristem and its Australian competitor Mesoblast, Ltd. is not warranted, as Ms. Weinreb likes to think, because in reality the acquisition of stem cells by both companies vastly differs, favoring Pluristem. Their patents for harvesting cells, younger and more vigorous and granted in Mesoblast's own backyard, should result in proof that Pluristem technology is superior.
Ms. Weinreb then makes the point that Pluristem's early phase muscle injury studies showing non-toxicity are not so critical when in reality they are. And yes, they are "interesting", and then some. Regulators view safety data very carefully. It is essential to continuing along a clinical path.
Volatility in biotech shares is not a reason to point fingers. Nor is the fact that companies may want to reach out to the public with results of a clinical study. This is what they do. Why Ms. Weinreb cannot grasp that is beyond logic, if she indeed covers her journalistic subjects with any degree of diligence and professional concern.
Pluristem's CEO, Zami Aberman, had the courage to state that if results of the muscle injury study went south, so would other trials. This did not happen. Efficacy was shown and millions of people will benefit. Contrary to Ms. Weinreb's misguided musings, Pluristem will give to the world not just interesting but also valuable work that has the ability to change the course of medicine.
Disclosure: I am long PSTI, .

There are no shortage of smartphone set to arrive this year, but we haven't spent much time talking about tablets. Lenovo has always impressed us with their slates, and they've just launched a new one in India with the budget friendly Lenovo Tab 2 A7-30.
Seems like HTC isn't the only company having trouble keeping their new devices under wraps. The HTC One M9 has been the hot device of the day in the rumor mill, but now we're getting a look at the upcoming Sony Xperia Z4 tablet ahead of it's rumored launch at MWC.
This morning, we showed you a couple of new renders of the HTC One M9 that came from Twitter courtesy of @evleaks. Quite a bit has happened since that time, including a series of HTC One M9 videos that appear to show the device in action and the cancellation of a certain Twitter account.
If you are a steady reader of our site or just stumbled across it in the past few weeks, you have probably seen one of many HTC One M9 photos that we've covered. Ready for some more? A new leak has just hit the net that reportedly shows the upcoming handset, and you might be a bit disappointed with the design.
A lot of the smartphone we cover have boring names. We have all come across plenty of Notes, Stars, and Ones, but how many Oomph's have you seen? Get ready to meet one with the newly released iBall Cobalt Oomph.
A lot of people watch videos on their mobile devices, and it's safe to say that YouTube isn't going out of business anytime soon. We've seen a couple of smartphones with built-in Pico projectors, but The Beam projector is the first gadget we've seen that turns an ordinary light socket into a projector.
Many manufacturers have rolled rugged handsets over the years, but Kyocera has put out more than most. Their latest smartphone has just been announced before MWC, and it offers up midrange specs in an extremely tough exterior.
Another day, another Samsung Galaxy S6 leak. A lot of folks already have their calendars marked for Samsung's big reveal, and we're pretty sure we know what it will have under the hood already. It's always nice to have a bit of confirmation, and we may have just gotten that from Samsung Norway.
We've spent a lot of time covering smartphones from Samsung, Sony, and HTC, but Motorola has been remarkably quite so far this year. It turns out they've been working on a surprise of sorts, and it's set to arrive on February 25th.
Unless the world comes to an end before March rolls around, Samsung is going to drop the Samsung Galaxy S6 next month. As we get close to its release, we're seeing all sorts of leaks, and most have been positive. This next one may not please photo fanatics as the Samsung Galaxy S6 may have a smaller sensor than we thought.
The Yu Yureka has been the subject of many articles from us this year, but Micromax has several other lineups out there including the Bolt series. We've covered over a dozen of the handsets thus far, and we have just added another to the list with the Micromax Bolt D321 release.

azalia seed
Hi I grow azalia in the house and I was wondering how to get the seed from these plants i check the brown flowers but it just paper. I cannot find the seed I know that my plants flower in the house is that the reason y they don't have seed. Thank you Anna lisa
I don't know if you could duplicate the conditions indoors that would bring about seed set on your azaleas, or even if the hybrid florists types most often found indoors reliably set seed.
Azalea seed is formed in distinct pods which ripen approx 5 - 6 months after flowering - if the plant is happy. Indoors, you would probably have to pollinate with an artists paint brush or something similar, placing pollen from the male anthers on the stigma of the flower.
There is a photo linked of green, immature pods on azalea, when ripe (late summer, early fall after spring bloom on outdoor plants), the pods would turn brownish, begin to open at the top to reveal dustlike seed in quantity.
Here is a link that might be useful:

Apple exec details 160GB Apple TV, YouTube H.264 deal
Following today's two Apple TV announcements, iLounge talked with Apple Vice President of Worldwide Mac Hardware Marketing David Moody, who provided details regarding both the YouTube application for Apple TV, and the new 160GB version of the media player.
YouTube: According to Moody, the YouTube update will take place in stages, beginning with the free software update for Apple TV owners in mid-June. At launch, "thousands of videos designed for Apple TV" will be available, with additional thousands added weekly until the entire YouTube library becomes accessible to Apple TV users this fall. When asked what "designed for Apple TV" meant, Moody said that YouTube will soon be encoding videos in the H.264 streaming-efficient compression format preferred by Apple TV, and that all new videos submitted to YouTube as of the mid-June launch of the AppleTV update will be playable by the device. From then until fall, YouTube will be encoding its entire back-catalog in H.264 format, adding videos in chunks until everything is accessible to Apple TV users. Direct links and the on-screen keyboard-based search engine mentioned in our previous update will bring you to current and old videos alike.
160GB Apple TV: Though it will be available tomorrow only as a build-to-order option from the online Apple Store, Moody said that the 160GB Apple TV will soon be available in retail Apple Store locations as well; no specific date was provided. Pricing through both online and retail stores will be $399, as noted in the Apple press release.
When asked about Steve Jobs' reference to Apple TV as a "hobby" for the company rather than a full-fledged business, Moody noted that "we view this a lot like we do the early days of the iPod," where the company is identifying the device's strengths and adding features people will enjoy. Two of those strengths are that it's "connected to the Internet" and is an "extendable software platform," with the ability to expand to include features such as the YouTube plug-in. Faced with the question of whether Apple will soon be catering to users' requests that the device make better use of their high-definition TVs, Moody said only that there was nothing to announce at this time.

WHy isn't anyone covering the real (and only) reason there's currently no (hollywood full-length) HD video available from Apple? Not for Apple TV and not for anything else.
Apple currently have no HDCP (content protection) developed/enabled for any of their products.

It seems strange to me that they need to convert their entire back catalog, why not allow the appletv to support FLV? Maybe Apple also wants people to be able to download youtube content to their iPod as well?
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on May 30, 2007 at 11:01 PM (CDT)
@Matthew Sweet
Here's what Jobs said a few months ago when asked about Flash support on the iPhone, and what it would mean for YouTube content if Flash wasn't present:
Jobs: "Yeah, YouTube—of course. But you don't need to have Flash to show YouTube. All you need to do is deal with YouTube. And plus, we could get 'em to up their video resolution at the same time, by using h.264 instead of the old codec."
So this AppleTV news pretty much confirms a custom H.264 YouTube player on the iPhone, possibly at launch.

So here's a little annoying inconsistency:
- upgrade your AppleTV's 40GB HD to 160GB for $100
- upgrade your mac mini's 60GB HD to 160GB for $300
(Canadian pricing, anyway)

Peter T,
That's true for many products from many companies, even others from Apple.
- upgrade your iPod nano from 4 GB to 8 GB for $50
- upgrade your iPhone from 4 GB to 8 GB for $100
It's inconsistent, but whoever said product pricing must be consistent?

@ Ole Mike
You're a bit behind. That was done on day 1 of the launch.

If the 160GB drive in the AppleTV is $400 and the same drive for the Mac mini is a $300 BTO option, this almost sounds like the perfect opportunity to get both a Mac mini and an AppleTV. Too bad the AppleTV uses IDE and the mini SATA.
