So Many Knitters
I know photographers with more training, more experience, more talent, and more money than I. And yet so many of them have projects that have been stalled or stunted for months or years. So why is this one flying along at such a startling clip?
The difference, of course, is all of you. It's your interest and support that power the dynamo. Without you, I'd have a ball of yarn and an empty frame.
With all that's happening I never got around to properly thanking Lauren (aka Knitter 0176) and the Windy City Knitting Guild for a splendid Chicago shoot, during which we added more than fifty sitters to the line-up.
We also achieved a milestone, though due to a miscalculation I was wrong about when exactly it happened. Ladies and gents, I give you Diane, Knitter 0500, who brought us to the halfway mark.
Lauren, who has the patience of three or four especially put-upon saints, managed to get me to a Guild meeting after only nine months of planning. It was wicked cool. I want to go back again as a private citizen so I can just hang out and knit.
And then, of course, there was a shoot during the Yarn Market News conference. I owe that opportunity to the magazine's intrepid editor (and conference planner), Karin Strom. Talking to so many folks who who keep us in yarn and needles and roving and wool wash and notions and cute bags and other necessities of life was a treat and an education.
(The only bummer was missing Cheryl Krementz, who couldn't come along with the team from New York. Cheryl's a smart and prolific writer–not only for YMN but other publications including Knitty.com; and she always gives me juicy illustration assignments for the magazine. One of these days, Cheryl.)
And that brings me to this past weekend, and what I was doing while Dolores was inflicting deep mental scars on those poor 4-H kids.
The folks from The Yarnery, who apparently don't require sleep like the rest of us, decided it would be nifty to schedule a visit from yours truly the day after a night of testifying and song with the Yarn Harlot. (Seriously, dudes. They sang to her. It's on You Tube.)
After such a night they would have been fully justified in being cranky and overtired, but no. Tim and I dropped by the shop to say hello and chat with the Yarnery's vigorous men's group, and I got a royal welcome. They had cookies!
These three guys from the group (Eric, Scott, and Sean) came the next day to have their portraits made.
Scott's the one who made the cookies. From scratch. Exceptional chocolate chip cookies. And he showed up for his sitting with more cookies. I like Scott. I wish I lived closer to Scott's oven.
The shoot was at Yarnover, a long-running annual day of fiber-related indulgences put on by the Minnesota Knitters' Guild. This is a seriously impressive event, folks. The vendor market was large and varied, although I totally didn't buy anything. Except some yarn.
And the classes–oh, the classes. What a list of instructors. I actually got to meet the Rainey Sisters, Joan Schrouder and Lucy Neatby; and I heard Chris Bylsma, Sally Melville and Melissa Leapman were in the house. And those are just the names I know about.
All told, 73 absolutely gorgeous knitters for the day. Here's a tiny smattering.
There in the center of row three is Lucy Neatby, who announced, "I'm going to put a hole in your scarf," and then did. You can see it clearly in the center of the bottom row, in the portrait of my buddy Robert. Robert was one of the first guy knitters I ever met, back at my first Stitches Midwest.
The final knitter of the day was Gerrie (0622).
Gerrie was scheduled in the last spot, but her goodie bag–crammed with toothsome fresh-baked treats from the Franklin Street Bakery in Minneapolis–was waiting for me at the shoot first thing in the morning. When I'm walking around Provincetown in a caftan this summer, Gerrie, I'll think of you.
I owe special thanks to everybody at The Yarnery, especially Maura (who deftly handled all my arrangements) and Mary Lou, Knitter 0620,
who served as my assistant during the shoot. She went above and beyond by running to Home Depot to replace a lightbulb that the airline managed to smash through a cardboard box, a metal protector and five inches of bubble wrap. Mary Lou, you were the perfect companion, especially when Lucy invited us to rummage through her case of samples and we discouraged each other from "accidentally" walking away with certain pieces.
I can't wait, my dears, to come back again if you'll have me. Even if you don't sing to me because nothing rhymes with 'Franklin'. (And nothing family-friendly rhymes with 'Dolores.')

It's neat to see so many knitters' portraits. By the way, you seem to have two knitters in the 0622 spot.
I bet the Yarnery writers can come up with something to rhyme with "Franklin". - 1:35 PM
- Franklin said...
Oops! Thanks tamar - fixed it!
- Anonymous said...
How about "hank'rin'"?
I gotta hank'rin for Franklin...
- Tsarina of Tsocks said...
Sure it does. I give you a little ditty my uncle used to sing (AFAIK he never actually knew anyone named Dolores):
Oy, oy, oy, Dolores -
Your skin is soft and porous.
OK, maybe not so appropriate, but at least it's pretty clean.
Man, I'm thinking maybe I should run down to Philly this Saturday after all. At the rate you're going, you're gonna make quota before Austin. - 2:17 PM
- Mel said...
Well, I don't know Scott, but Sean is good people and I trust him not to hang with people who aren't also good people. And, of course, the cookies are just icing on the cake, as it were.
Apparently 24 hours without sleep causes mixing of metaphors. Among other things. - 2:23 PM
- Vanessa said...
I think your sense of humor and generosity of spirit have also had a lot to do with your project's development of wings.
- Lise said...
I spotted the hole in your scarf right away. I sure am glad it was on purpose! So ... just wondering ... how long is your scarf at this point?
thanks for your wonderful sense of humour!
Lise - 2:47 PM
- Lauren in Austin said...
Well, yeah, "whore us" is not family friendly. "Bore us" and "snore us" are family-friendly, but they're not the least bit descriptive of Delores.
- carey said...
YAY! I'm so happy I was able to be a part of this fabulous project and have the opportunity to meet you in person--Franklin, you're the best!
When can we expect the YH/FH double feature? :-)
PS-the last time my pal Paul took the Amtrak to Chicago, he (along with his partner) ended up drinking ALL the vodka on the train. I hate when that happens. LOL! - 3:00 PM
- Kristen said...
Trust me, those 4H kids could probably give Dolores a run for her money.
The best I could come up with for Franklin is a sort of half rhyme: spankin'. I suppose that's not very family friendly either (unless one wants to go with the trite "brand spankin' new"), but it made me giggle! - 3:06 PM
- Barca Viola said...
It was great to meet you! Would love to have had time to visit. I agree with Vanessa. The fact that your project is moving along has a lot to do with the fact that it is your project.
As for the caftan and P-town, oops, sorry about that. I just didn't think of it. The last time I was there, I won't have noticed if someone's jeans were a bit too tight; the guy walking around with a snake wound around his neck was too distracting. I really don't think you have a thing to worry about, however.
The Yarnery crew really packed a lot in. It has been a very knitterly time around here. Harlot, Mr. Habit, Yarnover, MN Knitters Guild meeting and all the workshops offered by shops since all those teachers were in town.
Gerrie in St Paul - 3:28 PM
- Dianne said...
Oh, Franklin, those of us in the Antipodes (and, I'm sure, other out-of-the-way places) are sighing in envy as we read about your wonderful project and see all those happy faces knitting away together. What about expanding this to be a global project- One Million Knitters: The Global Sequel!
- Anonymous said...
You MUST come to Austin, even if you have your 1000 knitters by then!
- Bobbi said...
...and there's "3rd Daughter" right above Lucy Neatby! I haven't seen my darling girl since Thanksgiving...Thanks!

While I was out anklin'
my way down the street,
I ran into Franklin.
Who else did I meet
but Harry and Boris,
all singing in chorus
in praise of Dolores,
How neat!
(No I don't know who Boris is,
but he rhymes.) - 5:53 PM
- Meema said...
We were already batting around ideas for your musical tribute last night at Ye Olde Yarnery.
And yes, the lyrics will be family-friendly. The determining factor will be which family... - 7:16 PM
- Tracy said...
Two things, first I'm scared to death I'm not going to one of the 1000. What do you have on the agenda just a handful of Yarnery-type shoots and you'll be done!?!
Secondly are my eye's deceiving me and my powers of deductions failing? Wasn't Eric one of the singers and Scott playing the piano?
Oh come now there must be something that rhymes with Dolores, get out your thesaurus. :-P - 7:51 PM
- Paper Tiger said...
I love how may people in the photos are mid-word or -laugh.
- Amber said...
I made the blog! I made the blog! I didn't pee my pants though. Thank goodness.
Thank you so much for coming and bringing your project to the cities. Know that you are always welcome and I do hope you come back soon.
(As we were leaving, my mom almost forced me to go and see if you already had dinner plans. I hope you did, otherwise she'll yell at me.) - 8:48 PM

"although I totally didn't buy anything. Except some yarn."
There is absolutely no frickin' way to explain any of "us" fiberish folks to all the fiberless!
Maybe our LYS doesn't understand us (quoting your fabulous drawing) but we sure understand each other!
Some yarn... giggle giggle...

- Alwen said...
Okay, you met Lucy Neatby, so how many degrees of separation does that make between us now?
I can't believe you're up to 600+ already. Boy, I'm glad I got in on the 1000 Knitters early. - 9:04 PM
- Joni said...
Franklin - if you'd like to come to Seattle to shoot photos, the yarn shops in Western WA are having a LYS Tour the weekend of May 15-18 - 24 shops in all! You could seriously add to your stash. If you're interested, contact Ellen at email@example.com and see www.lystour.com!
- Gauss said...
I am very much looking forward to the photo shoot this weekend! My group has been planning the trip for weeks.
- Scott R said...
Yes, Eric and I were part of the Yarnery Family Singers, as was Angie, also pictured. We all blog, all knit, and all want Franklin to move to Minneapolis where he belongs. And Franklin, whenever you want cookies, just say the word. They'll be on your doorstep moments later.
- Sean Dilley said...
Mel, thanks for vouching for me, and Franklin, thanks once again for being such a charmer. Scott, Eric, and I all had a great time that morning.

D'oh - I forgot to ask you to sign my arm. Too starstruck, I guess. ;)

Of course, Seinfeld knew the rhyme for Dolores and no, it is not family friendly...but...Oh Go... you made me laugh remembering that :)

- Michele Vogel said...
I wish I could have come up to have my mug included in the 1,000 knitters. I live in Southern Minnesota and couldn't make the drive up. Sounds like you had a fabulous time. Come back soon. We'll treat you to more "Minnesota Nice".

GREAT posting, full of lots of info and looks like you are REALLY enjoying this!
And the link to the Harlot songfest on You-Tube -- priceless. Must have brought the house down!! - 9:41 AM

"waling around Provincetown..." Oooh! Maybe if you haven't taken all 1000 knitters pictures you'll have a shoot there and I'll have a chance to take part. Our summer place isn't to far from Ptown and we spend a lot of time hiking that way. we are also always there for family week catching up with all the 3 million other folks who have adopted kids from Asia (family week is not specifically for families with kids adopted or adopted from Asia but sometimes it sure looks that way)

Others with more talent? I scoff at the suggestion.
No, really, the difference is not just us; it's you. You've noticed how people will drive across multiple states to meet you and be a part of what you're working on? Those others with more training apparently just aren't as witty, insightful, and all-around fascinating.
Now that you're approaching 2/3, it's time to announce what final form(s) the work will take, right? - 1:13 PM

Nothing rhymes with Franklin or Dolores, eh? Heh heh heh heh ... you just wait.

I'm so honored to be knitter 0500! I remember having a great time talking to Franklin about going to Meg Swansen's knitting camp last summer. Don't know why I look so serious in the photo. I guess knitting camp is serious business! Thank you Franklin for taking on this amazing project.

VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis offered an olive branch of sorts to the doctrine-minded, conservative wing of the Catholic Church on Friday as he denounced abortions as a symptom of today's "throw-away culture" and encouraged Catholic doctors to refuse to perform them.
Francis issued a strong anti-abortion message and cited Vatican teaching on the need to defend the unborn during an audience with Catholic gynecologists.
It came a day after he was quoted as blasting the church's obsession with "small-minded rules" that are driving the faithful away.
In an interview that has sent shockwaves through the church, Francis urged its pastors to focus on being merciful and welcoming rather than insisting only on such divisive, hot-button issues as abortion, gay marriage and contraception.
He did repeat it on Friday, however. In his comments, Francis denounced today's "throw-away culture" that justifies disposing of lives, and said doctors in particular had been forced into situations where they are called to "not respect life."
"Every child that isn't born, but is unjustly condemned to be aborted, has the face of Jesus Christ, has the face of the Lord," he said.
He urged the gynecologists to abide by their consciences and help bring lives into the world. "Things have a price and can be for sale, but people have a dignity that is priceless and worth far more than things," he said.
Francis' comments to Civilta Cattolica contained no change in church teaching, but they represented a radical shift in tone and stood in stark contrast to the priorities of his two immediate predecessors.
John Paul II and Benedict XVI were both intellectuals for whom doctrine was paramount, an orientation that guided the selection of a generation of bishops and cardinals who, in countries like the United States, have put themselves on the front lines in opposing abortion and gay marriage. They now find themselves being asked to preach more to those who have fallen away from the church and offer them a compassionate welcome home.
Greg Burke, the Vatican's senior communications adviser, insisted Friday that Francis was by no means calling into question the papacies and priorities of his predecessors.
"The pope is not condemning his predecessors," Burke told The Associated Press. "What he is saying is 'We've spent a lot of time talking about the boundaries. We've spent a lot of time talking about what is sin and what's not. Now let's move on. Let's talk about mercy. Let's talk about love."'
Dublin Archbishop Diarmuid Martin, Ireland's most reform-minded Catholic leader, said Francis' comments will be tough for the church to put into action because there is a tendency to get "trapped" into the right and wrong, white and black of Catholic teaching.
"It's a way of thinking that will actually be very hard for the right and the left of the church, either of them, to accept," he told RTE radio. But he said Francis wasn't dismissing everything that has been taught to date.
"He's saying let's move in a different direction."
Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, just last week had said in an interview with his diocesan newspaper that he was "a little bit disappointed" that Francis hadn't spoken out about abortion. On Friday, in an official statement responding to the La Civilta Cattolica article, Tobin said he admired Francis' leadership.
"Being a Catholic doesn't mean having to choose between doctrine and charity, between truth and love. It includes both. We are grateful to Pope Francis for reminding us of that vision," he said.
U.S. Cardinal Timothy Dolan, who as head of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops has taken a lead role in voicing the U.S. church's opposition to contraception and gay marriage, said the church isn't the only one obsessed with such issues -- today's culture is.
"Every pope has a different strategy," Dolan told "CBS This Morning." "What I think he's saying is, 'Those are important issues and the church has got to keep talking about them, but we need to talk about them in a fresh new way. If we keep kind of a negative finger-wagging tone, it's counterproductive. "
He said that while Francis had sent shockwaves throughout the church, clearly it was necessary.
"Every day I think, 'Thank God he was elected.' ... Every day I say, 'This man is batting a thousand."'

The needle or hook size called for in the pattern is based on what the designer used, but it is not unusual for gauge to vary from person to person. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make your swatch, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles. Making a Gauge Swatch

Fresh Daisies in Bulk
The name daisy comes from "day's eye," because daisies open at the start of the day. They represent new beginnings, innocence and purity. Daisies are actually two flowers combined: The typically white petals that surround the flower, and the small yellow disc petals in the middle. While most people are primarily familiar with the standard white daisy with yellow center, there are a great many varieties of daisies, including the Blue Daisy, Spanish Daisy, Giant Daisy, Lazy Daisy, and many more. Daisies can truly bring happiness and joy to everyone who views them.
If you're ready to bring more daisies into your life, Sam's Club has a wide variety of affordable options for you to choose from. You can order Gerbera Daisies in assorted colors, yellow daisies, white daisies, even fuchsia and orange daisies. Before you decide on which flowers will be right for you, take the time to look over all the gorgeous daisies at great prices that you can get through Sam's Club.
If you're looking for an assortment of brilliant, beautiful flowers that will brighten any occasion, order daisies from Sam's Club today.

ECOO and Special Olympics Bring High Quality Eye Care to Athletes
Thomas Truckenbrod, President ZVA (German Optometrist Association, member of ECOO), Wolfgang Cagnolati, Past President of ECOO, Stefan Schwarz, Regional Clinical Advisor Special Olympics Lions Clubs International Opening Eyes Program, Armin Duddek, ECOO President, Bjoern Koehler, Special Olympics, Manager Healthy Athletes Initiative
For immediate release
ECOO and Special Olympics Bring High Quality Eye Care to Athletes with Intellectual Disabilities
Special Olympics International and the European Council of Optometry and Optics (ECOO) signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) today, creating a partnership that will expand the reach of the Special Olympics Lions Clubs International Opening Eyes vision screening program throughout Europe-Eurasia. The collaboration shared between Special Olympics Inc and ECOO will help bring needed vision care services and prescription eyewear to more athletes with intellectual disabilities, as well as build increased public awareness about the specific health care needs of this often marginalized population.
"We are delighted to team up with Special Olympics and its Healthy Athlete Program. This partnership represents a significant step towards promoting eye health and helping to correct vision among people with intellectual disabilities," said Mr. Armin Duddek, ECOO President. "ECOO is looking forward to engaging in future initiatives that will lead to tangible improvements in the vision of Special Olympics athletes."
Duddek, as well as the immediate past President of ECOO Wolfgang Cagnolati signed the agreement with Special Olympics as part of their presence at OPT12 in Munich.
People with intellectual disabilities are at increased risk of eye conditions and often live with uncorrected vision. The Special Olympics Opening Eyes program has found globally that more than 37% of Special Olympics athletes need new glasses and 18% have an eye health condition that requires follow-up. In some countries the program finds over 50% of athletes need new glasses.
"Today is a momentous day for our athletes in Europe/Eurasia as the Opening Eyes program, which has helped so many Special Olympics athletes already, expands even further throughout the region," according to Special Olympics Europe/Eurasia President and Managing Director, Mary Davis. "We are honored to be working so closely with the European Council of Optometry and Optics (ECOO) to build a stronger program so more of our athletes can get the vision care they need from specialist eye care professionals. The partnership also aims to increase awareness amongst the public and vision care specialists in Europe as to the unique vision care needs of our athletes and people with intellectual disabilities which is a significant step forward," added Mary Davis.
The partnership will increase volunteer participation of eye professionals at Special Olympics Lions Clubs International Opening Eyes events throughout Europe, foster communication between the organization's respective memberships, encourage the development of programs and initiatives that further both organizations' missions, and allow Opening Eyes to reach more athletes.
Media Contact:Maureen RabbittCommunications email@example.com+35316755715
About the European Council of Optometry and OpticsECOO is the European umbrella organisation which represents the interests of more than 75,000 optometrists and opticians from 31 European countries. It aims to promote eye health to the public across borders and to harmonise clinical and educational standards of optometric and optical practice throughout Europe. Its mission is to eliminate avoidable blindness and visual impairment in Europe; to create a harmonised professional and educational system for optometry and optics based on the European Diploma in Optometry and Optics, and to develop the scope of practice for optometrists and opticians to the degree that the same high standards apply and are mutually recognised in all European countries. Further information about ECOO can be found at www.ecoo.info/
About Healthy AthletesHealthy Athletes is the primary health-related program for Special Olympics, providing free health screenings to athletes with intellectual disabilities in seven different areas -- (vision, hearing, oral health, healthy lifestyles, general fitness, podiatry, and sports physicals). The need for Healthy Athletes is great. Despite a mistaken belief that people with intellectual disabilities receive the same or better health care than others, they typically receive sub-standard care or virtually no health care at all. Special Olympics has shown that many health concerns are more common and significant for people with intellectual disabilities. Among Special Olympics athletes globally, 39% have obvious, untreated tooth decay; 26% fail hearing tests; 20% have low bone density; and 18.0% have eye health condition that requires follow up.
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to nearly 3.5 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in places like China and from regions like the Middle East to the community playgrounds and ball fields in every small neighborhood's backyard. Special Olympics provides people with intellectual disabilities continuing opportunities to realize their potential, develop physical fitness, demonstrate courage and experience joy and friendship.

EDITOR'S CHOICE -- SCOTT SUTTELL Drug shortages pose vexing problems for health care providersBy SCOTT SUTTELL 1:00 pm, November 20, 2012
Drug shortages have become a persistent problem in the United States, hurting the quality of care and forcing health care providers — including the Cleveland Clinic — to take steps to address the problem on their own.
Trying to help: A bill introduced by Rep. Jim Renacci may help "credit invisibles," or people shut out of the mainstream financial system due to a tarnished, incomplete or nonexistent credit file, according to this Wall Street Journal story. You also can follow me on Twitter for more news about business and Northeast Ohio. PRINTED FROM: http://www.crainscleveland.com/article/20121120/BLOGS03/121129975/0/BLOGS05&template=printart |

My mother is a chronic alcoholic living in the La Crosse area. She has been in long and short term rehab numerous times. Presently, she is drinking but plans to begin detox on Monday. Thankfully, her MD won't allow her to do an outpatient detox so she will either have to admit herself to the hospital, try to detox alone (dangerous--she's 84 with significant health issues), have her committed or continue drinking.
Whatever happens, what I think she needs is a sponsor.
She accepts that she's an alcoholic but is still in the shame and self-hatred stage. She doesn't want to accept that her disease is the same as everyone else's. She is too prideful to attend AA. She might consider a meeting that has "professionals" in it, i.e. members of her social/economic status. I'm thinking that if she could find a sponsor whom she respects, he or she might help her get started on her journey to humility, acceptance of herself and others and, most importantly, to get the support system she needs. She doesn't want to ask friends for help as she's tried to keep everything a secret for 40 years. She is fairly well known in the community.
Is there a way to locate a sponsor that is "of her social status" to get her started? If so, please post here.

If you believe the Harley-Davidson motorcycle forums and Cyril Huze blog, the motorcycle community is weary of the whole concept of "celebrity" motorcycle builders.
Obviously we're in the minority. The rest of the country still has an infatuation with the larger than life persona of Orange County Chopper founder Paul Teutul Sr.
So much so that Donald Trump has cast the short tempered, wrench throwing, biceps bulging builder in the new season of Celebrity Apprentice.
The 62 year old Teutul joins 17 other well known, not so well known and used to be famous celebrities for the new season which premiers February 12th on NBC. To make it easier, we categorized them into three tiers, front runners, middle packers, and snowball chance in hell of winning. While the Washington Times puts the odds at 20-1 of Sr. actually winning, we placed him in the middle packers. He's got enough celebrity and business connections through his "theme bike" builds that he might be able to raise the dough it takes to win, but it's going to be tough and his reputation is that he "does not play well with others." Make your pick in the poll at the end of the story.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Five thousand years ago the Mayan Calendar last turned over. Since then, Nostradamus, The Book of Revelations and random Shaman have all prognosticated that mankind would meet a fateful end. Currently, our demise is scheduled for December 21, 2012 for it has been so decreed our world is about to end not in a Christian Judgment Day but rather a Mayan Apocalypse. Funny thing is, the Mayans dont actually believe in the concept of an Apocalypse. We at The Lost Abbey didnt want to miss an opportunity to update our original Judgment Day recipe to accompany us as we collide towards this impending Rapture. Like us, were pretty sure you can believe in dried Chiles, Cinnamon and Tamarind working well together in this beer. This means you can count on this little bottle of beer to help you survive this cultural Armageddon. Please pop the cork and enjoy this version. Weve got you covered. See you on December 22nd wherever life may take us.

Pregnancy: Hot Tub and Sauna Use
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
Raising your core body temperature (hyperthermia) can harm your fetus, particularly during the early weeks of organ development. While experts don't forbid hot tub or sauna use, they do advise caution.1
Hyperthermia during the first weeks of fetal development has been linked to neural tube defects.2 So pregnant women are advised to treat a high fever with acetaminophen and to avoid other causes of hyperthermia.
There is no firmly established temperature or length of exposure that is considered safe during pregnancy. If you use a hot tub or sauna during pregnancy, be conservative. Avoid uncomfortably high temperatures, and limit your exposure. The American Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists suggest sauna use of no more than 15 minutes and hot tub use of no more than 10 minutes. To help keep your body temperature down in a hot tub, sit with your arms and upper torso above the water.1

Alan Hanash is an Assistant Member of Memorial Sloan Kettering and an Attending Physician on the Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Service in the Department of Medicine. Dr. Hanash's research focuses on the immunology of hematopoietic transplantation and immune-mediated mechanisms of tissue damage and regeneration.
Epithelial tissues are in a constant state of turnover. During inflammation, and especially after hematopoietic transplantation, the immune system can be activated, which can lead to damage of epithelium. The tissue damage after allogeneic transplantation mediated by donor T cells is referred to as graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). In response to this damage, innate immune cells can be activated to produce cytokines that promote epithelial regeneration.
Our work has shown that GVHD of the intestines can lead to loss of the intestinal stem cells necessary for maintaining and regenerating the intestinal epithelium. Likewise, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) produce IL-22 post-transplant to stimulate epithelial regeneration and maintain intestinal barrier function. However, we have found that GVHD leads to loss of both the intestinal stem cells and ILCs necessary for epithelial recovery.
In addition to promoting intestinal barrier function, ILCs are critical for regenerating thymic epithelium and promoting immune reconstitution post-transplant, which is essential for maintaining antitumor and antimicrobial immunity. ILCs are thus working at the interface of the three greatest obstacles to successful allogeneic transplantation: GVHD, malignant relapse, and infections.
We are studying the processes of immune-mediated tissue damage and regeneration at the tissue level and at the level of the epithelial stem cells critical for tissue maintenance and regeneration. This work is important for understanding how to promote tissue regeneration post-transplant and treat GVHD without suppressing the immune system. It has important implications for understanding how solid tumors can develop in the setting of inflammation. Current projects in the lab include:
Enlarge Image Parallel networks of immune-mediated tissue damage (caused by alloreactive donor T cells) and tissue regeneration (induced by innate lymphoid cells) in the gastrointestinal tract and thymus during hematopoietic transplantation. Radiation injury leads to IL-23 production that can stimulate ILCs to produce IL-22 and promote tissue regeneration. GVHD causes damage to the tissues directly and also eliminates the ILCs necessary for limiting the damage and promoting recovery.

Choosing Toys with Safety in Mind
Dolls, video games, stuffed toys, radio controlled cars, train sets, action figures, scooters, bicycles, trading cards, board games, model airplanes. With so many toys to pick from, the selection can be overwhelming. But getting the right toy for a special child really isn't that complicated as long as you follow these general guidelines and choose a toy with safety in mind.
If you are buying a bicycle, inline skates, scooter or skateboard for an older child, make sure they are used with a helmet or other safety gear, such as hand, wrist or shin guards.
Projectile toys, such as darts or arrows, should have soft tips or suction cups on the ends to avoid eye injuries. Toy guns should be brightly colored with a red tip so they don't look like real guns. BB or pellet guns are not recommended for children under the age of 16.
Choose toys that comply with safety standards. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) regulates all toys made in or imported into the United States. Toys made after 1995 much comply with CPSC standards, which include setting guidelines and labeling most new toys for particular age groups. You should be aware of recent issues concerning lead paint and other hazards being associated with toys made in China. Check the label on the box to see where the toy was manufactured.
Toys can provide hours of enjoyment and help a child's development. But if used improperly or without adequate adult supervision, they can cause injury or even death. For 2006, the CPSC has reports of 22 toy-related deaths and approximately 165,100 toy-related injuries treated in hospital emergency rooms for children under the age of 15. For more information about toy safety, visit the CPSC website at www.cpsc.gov.

Does graphics acceleration etc.. work OK if you install 12.10 and run with the default open source drivers ?
Wondering if you might have a configuration the fglrx drivers don't know about for some reason.
Hello everyone,
I'm very sorry if this problem is already solved, but I couldn't find it on the forum.
Here's my case. I have AMD athlon II X4 and Saphire HD 6770 with Vapor X.
What ever video driver I tried to install I finished with Black Screen after reboot.
I tried this:
1. Ubuntu 12.04LTS with propriate driver and it fails
2. Ubuntu 12.04LTS with drivers from AMD web site (12.10) and beta driver as well
3. Ubuntu 12.04LTS from PPA I found online (cant remember which one...)
4. Ubuntu 12.04LTS fglrx from synaptic manager
5. Ubuntu 12.10 with all above
6. Ubuntu 12.10 with new driver 13.1
7. changed grub to nomodeset
8. change lightdm to gdm
9. I think I read everything on askubuntu (I know I didn't, just feeling like that...)
The only thing I didn't try is to install 13.1 on Ubuntu 12.04LTS. But with previous experience, I'm almost certain that it will fail as well.(going to do it right now)
For last 2 months I'm struggling with this and it's very irittating.
I purged fglrx so many time that I lost count.
I would be more than gratefull if anyone could help.
Thank you!!
p.s. Sorry for my English :S
Does graphics acceleration etc.. work OK if you install 12.10 and run with the default open source drivers ?
Wondering if you might have a configuration the fglrx drivers don't know about for some reason.
No it doesn't. And the max resolution I can set is 1024x768...
That's actualy the reason I want to install driver. Because my max resolution is 1024x768 and because I cant play HON
Once I type something in terminal which gave some info output. There it sad that my GPU clock is 30Mhz....
Do you have any idea what could fix this?
Thanks for the fast reply!
OK, now that's wierd. At this point my first thought would be that you were running some kind of hybrid graphics or other multi-GPU configuration but am I correct in understanding that this is a desktop system with single GPU ?
My first guess would be that for some reason the NVidia graphics is being exposed rather than the AMD graphics. You could get an idea by looking through the output of lspci.
If you boot and get the black screen:
1. try to reach the first virtual terminal VT1 (ctrl-alt-f1), and if you can, log in then stop gdm/lightdm with "sudo service lightdm stop".
2. Then unload fglrx: "sudo rmmod fglrx"
3. See the x server error messages: "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log", copy that file to your desktop "cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log ~/Desktop" (it will be overwritten at next x start) then attach/post it here.
If you want to start lightdm, remove the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file: "sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf", then start lightdm/gdm with "sudo service lightdm start" (this is for lightdm).

Right, that was quick. The Parasite, one of the first 'books' I published - it is in fact a 40,000 word novella - is now available on Amazon Kindle. I've worked through it, but not a huge amount since I didn't want to change it into something that had ceased to be that original The Parasite. That, I can tell you, was a temptation difficult to resist. I also haven't got a cover picture or ISBN number up. If I'd used the original cover picture then I would have had to bugger about with copyright issues and I didn't get an ISBN because I don't yet know whether it would be worth the money (10 ISBNs for a £100 I'm told) I hope you all enjoy it.
Here's the blurb for it: After mining complex ices deep in the Solar System, Jack Smith is concerned about his profit margin, but is it him who doesn't want to face quarantine or something squirming inside him? The Cryon Corporation Director, Geoffry Haven, is also concerned about the bottom line and might consider Jack an expense he can no longer afford, though perhaps suitable for a starring role in a snuff movie. Meanwhile, the human and unhuman agents of World Health must investigate. Perhaps it's time to deploy vat-grown killers and an anti-photon weapon, because the parasite is coming to Earth, and it's hungry. The Parasite was first published by Tanjen Ltd as an illustrated novella back in 1996. Tanjen closed down a number of years later and since then the novella has been difficult if not impossible to obtain. There are copies out there, but checking recently I haven't seen one for below $50.00, which is a hell of a lot for something only 130 pages long and perhaps only for completists. I've edited it again, thought I haven't been too heavy-handed since I didn't want to deliver something that had completely ceased to be the original. This is my first attempt at self-publishing through Amazon Kindle. I hope you all enjoy it! – Neal Asher "Once again, Neal Asher gives his reader a meal of such exquisite taste that you're left like Oliver, desiring more." – Authortrek
