ATLANTA (AP) — Chipper Jones' bad left knee has limited his playing time at the start of his final season, so he says it's important to make the most of his chances.
Jones' HR in 11th lifts Braves past Phils 15-13
"When I am in there, I want to make a splash," Jones said. "I did it tonight."
Jones hit a two-run homer in the 11th inning and the Atlanta Braves overcame Carlos Ruiz's seven RBIs to outlast the Philadelphia Phillies 15-13 on Wednesday night.
The seesaw game saw the Braves rally from a 6-0 deficit against Roy Halladay, then come back from four runs down in the eighth.
"It was just a weird game all the way around," said Brian McCann, who hit a grand slam off Halladay. "Stuff you've never seen happen."
Befitting the crazy game, McCann was poked in the eye with an errant high-five from teammate Michael Bourn after the homer.
Dan Uggla led off the Atlanta 11th with a single. Jones just missed a homer on a ball that landed barely foul to right, then connected against Brian Sanches (0-1). He began his path around the bases with a slow journey to first base as he and his teammates savored the dramatic moment and Braves fans stood and cheered.
"What a cool moment that was, not only for Chipper, but for the rest of us out there to enjoy that, to watch that," McCann said. "To see him walk down the first base line like that, that's a treat for all of us."
Jones' homer ended the Braves' eight-game losing streak to the Phillies, dating back to last season. He said the homer will hold a special place on his career highlights.
"That's right up there just because the team that we're kind of shooting for in the division obviously is the Phillies," said Jones, who turned 40 on April 24. "Until somebody knocks them off, they're the team to beat."
Jones is third all-time among switch-hitters with 458 homers, trailing only Mickey Mantle and Eddie Murray. Including his time in the minor leagues, Jones said it was his 500th homer as a professional.
"I'm not going to get there at the major league level, but to hit 500 homers as a professional is pretty cool," he said.
It was the highest-scoring extra-inning game in the majors since Cleveland beat Kansas City 15-13 in 10 innings in 2006, according to STATS LLC.
Ruiz had three hits, including a three-run homer in the seventh and a three-run double in the eighth. He was the first Phillies hitter to drive in seven runs since Ryan Howard against the Yankees on June 20, 2006.

How to Transfer Fat from Belly to my Hips and Butt?
Doctor Answers 11
Fat Transfer From the Belly to Hips and Butt
The amount of fat needed depends on the shape and needs of each individual patient, however in general at least 500cc per buttock need to be placed to see a significant difference. On average patients typically receive around 800cc per buttock side for a total of 1600cc of fat transfer. However just like a breast augmentation the amount of fat needed various from patient to patients. Also the sculpting done with the liposuction is a big part of the procedure to improve the overall shape.
When considering this procedure it is very important that you have your procedure performed by a board certified plastic surgeon.
In general of the procedures that I perform this is one where patients tend to be universally extremely happy.
I hope this helps.

Fat Transfer
Dear Kassy
Fat Transfer is an excellent technique to help wth shaping the body and to acheive an hourglass shape.
The procedure is basically a speacialized liposuction and the fat that is removed is prepared for injection. The fat is placed in multiple layers to add 'shape'- shape being the key word. The liposuction is not just for the harvesting but also the shaping to acheive the hourglass shape!
You will need a few days to recover- it will feel like you had a hard workout. Bruising can last 2 to 3 weeks. The small incisions for the fat harvest and injection are place in areas so that they are minimally visible.
On occasion you made need a little more fat added. to acheive a great result you will need to have enough fat for injection!
Good Luck.
With Warm Regards,
Trevor M Born MD
Brazilian Butt Lift a very popular technique
Fat transfer to the buttocks e.g Brazillian lift is becoming a very popular procedure. It is a technical procedure that involve both liposuction and fat transfer. An average of 400cc is needed on each size to be able to have a sizable difference.
The average time frame is 2-4 hours, depending on the amount needed for transfer. Average cost from 5-10k. Best of luck!

Fat transfer from belly to buttocks
This can be achieved with a fat transfer
Yes, it's possible to achieve that Jennifer Lopez, sculpted buttock using your own fat that can be taken from the abdomen.
Buttock augmentation with your own fat allows you to get a natural more pleasing shape and contour to the backside by augmenting curves, correcting an imbalance or increasing size and prominence of the buttock.
Fat taken from the abdomen (stomach) can be used for this enhancement, so you get the benefit of reducing your stomach while you enhance your butt and all without implants, which can be painful.
Fat transfer
You are referring to a fat transfer procedure. This basically is liposuction, where the fat is processed rather than discarded, and then placed in the deficient areas. The problem with this is that the survival of the transferred fat is not that predictable. You may consider a tummy tuck which will accomplish all but the butt.
Fat transfer for butt augmentation
Yes, it is possible to transfer fat from your abdomen and thighs to your butt and hips. The surgery usually lasts between 2 and 4 hours. The cost here in Manhattan can range between $7,000 and $20,000 depending on how much fat transfer is involved. Good luck.
Fat Transfer From Abdomen to Buttocks
Thanks for your question -
In our San Francisco office we perform autologous fat transfer (commonly known as the brazilian butt lift with some frequency. The advantage of this technique is moving fat from areas that you don't want it (typically abdomen, flanks and thighs) to places where you may wish some contour enhancement (usually the buttocks).
The technique requires special handling of the liposuction and the harvested fat as well as slow and smal volumes of fat injection. Our patients typically have somewhere between 2 - 4 liters of fat removed with about 400 - 800 cc of fat injected back into the buttocks.
The operation is typically outpatient and takes somewhere between 3 - 5 hours. Costs in California range anywhere from $8000 - $20,000.
Be sure to find a board certified plastic surgeon that has experience with this technique.
I hope this helps
Fat transfer, liposuction, and buttock enhancement augmentation
Fat transfer is accomplished through a variety of different techniques and processed differently by surgeons.
Generally, fat needs to be removed gently by traditional or syringe liposuction. Laser or ultrasound will damage the fat and make it unusable. Once obtained some surgeons transfer it directly to syringes while others perform combinations of centrifugation, filtering, isolation, medication additives, etc.
Most surgeons introduce the fat by injecting it into the buttock muscles. You typically need at least 150cc and up to 1000cc to achieve a difference. Some surgeons believe that the incidence of complications are higher when larger volumes of fat are introduced especially above 850cc.
Liposuction is inportant not only to obtain the fat but to sculpt and accentuate the buttock, One of the most neglected areas is the posterior hips and waist (muffin top area) as well as the lumbo sacral area (small of the back just above the tailbone).
Fees range tremendously on the extent of the liposuction and the volume to be injected. These procedures are time intensive and easily require 2 hours and often 5-6 hours to accomplish significant changes. Fees can therefore vary anywhere from 5-20,000.

Fetal Intervention Fellowship
In September, 2011, Drs. Anthony Johnson and Kenneth Moise joined the faculty at UTHealth as co-directors of the Texas Fetal Center – a joint effort by the University of Texas Medical School at Houston and Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. The program is now well established with referrals from throughout the state of Texas as well as other states including Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. The fetal intervention fellowship program was approved by the State of Texas and the Graduate Medical Education Office of UTHealth in early 2012, and the first fellow was enrolled in the program in July, 2012.
The fellowship is two years in length with one fellow at each level. Fellows will be appointed through the Graduate Medical Education Office of UT School of Medicine at Houston. Salary level will be commiserate with their previous level of training.
The fellow will be directly supervised by three fetal medicine attendings with over 75 years of cumulative experience. Clinical activities will take place in the outpatient area at the UT Professional Building as well as on the inpatient service at Memorial Hermann Hospital and in the operating rooms of Children's Memorial Hermann Hospital. Unique clinical skills will be obtained in the following areas:
- Evaluation of complex fetal congenital anomalies by ultrasound and MRI
- Laser ablation of placental anastomoses in the treatment of severe twin-twin transfusion syndrome
- Ultrasound-guided shunt placement in the fetal thorax or bladder
- Intrauterine transfusion
- Radiofrequency ablation and cord coagulation in the treatment of complicated monochorionic multiple gestations
- Open fetal surgical repair of myelomeningocele
Additionally the fellow will rotate on various clinical services that directly interface with the fetal intervention program including pediatric cardiology and MRI.
The fellow will be required to be active in ongoing research. It is anticipated that a minimum of one major project directed by the fellow will be completed and a manuscript developed over the course of the program.
Candidates will have completed an ACOOG or ABOG-certified residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology and a three year fellowship in Maternal-Fetal Medicine.
Applicants interested in the fellowship program should send their curriculum vitae, a personal statement as to why they would like to pursue the fellowship, and three letters of reference by June of their second year of MFM fellowship to:

I have tried several other sushi delivery options in SF and Sushi Rock tops my list for consistency and quality. They always get my order correct and often will throw in extra miso soup or seaweed salad. I have tried a lot of the rolls and like them all, as well as the entrees (tonkatsu donburi and sukiyaki are so good!). They always deliver on time if not early and haven't gotten an order wrong in the 4 years I've been ordering from them.

Affidavit, calls detail brutal death of Nichols Hills boy, 9
NICHOLS HILLS — A doctor who has battled mental issues for years said his son was the devil as he stabbed the boy to death Monday morning at their home, according to a police affidavit and a 911 recording.
Stephen Paul Wolf, 51, is in the Oklahoma County jail on a murder complaint. His son, Tommy, was 9. Wolf was seeing a psychiatrist this year before the attack and was on medication, The Oklahoman has learned. His mental issues date back to his first year of medical school in 1984 when he was hospitalized for major depression, his medical records show. He repeatedly told the police officer who broke up the attack on his son, "He's got the devil in him and you know it," according to the police arrest affidavit. His wife, Mary Wolf, was making a 911 call during the attack. Police officer Michael Puckett can be heard on the recording telling the doctor, "Put your hands behind your ------- back now!" The doctor can be heard saying, "Mary, he's the devil." Mary Wolf replies, "He's not the devil." She then says, "Tommy." The doctor tried to stab his son again when the boy began convulsing, even though the officer had his gun drawn, police reported. The officer pulled the doctor away and then had to kick and strike the doctor in the head to keep the doctor from getting a knife again. The doctor attacked his son in the kitchen of their $500,000 house at 1715 Elmhurst Ave., police reported. Wolf — covered in blood — was on top of his son when the officer arrived shortly before 4 a.m. Monday, police reported. The victim had "a knife lodged in the left upper section of his head and a knife stuck in the upper right part of the chest," police reported. The boy died at the home. Mary Wolf was treated for cuts on her hands and face. A neighbor, Douglas Woodson, told police the doctor "was under review at his hospital for anger issues," police reported in the affidavit.

What the affidavit states ...
Here is a description from a police affidavit of events Monday morning when police officer Michael Puckett arrived at Dr. Stephen P. Wolf's Nichols Hills home: The officer was dispatched at 3:52 a.m. Monday to the house of a neighbor who called police after Mary Wolf banged on the neighbor's front door. The officer heard screaming from Wolf's house and met Mary Wolf at the open front door. She told the officer, "He's killing my son. He's killing my son." The officer drew his gun and went through the house, finding the doctor on his knees "wrestling with something up against a cabinet door and a dishwasher." The officer ordered Wolf to put his hands up. "At that time Mr. Wolf raised his hands to about head level and looked back at Officer Puckett and said, 'He's got the devil in him and you know it' several times." The officer ordered Wolf, who was covered in blood, to get on his stomach. Wolf complied. The officer then saw the victim, Tommy, with a knife in his head and a knife in his chest. "Mr. Wolf again started saying, 'You know he's got the devil in him' several times over." The boy then began to convulse and "Mr. Wolf leapt up off the floor and said, 'He's not dead' and tried (to) grab a knife from the body to continue the assault." The police officer pulled Wolf by the neck and shirt and Wolf fell and dropped a knife. The officer kicked Wolf in the head as Wolf tried to reach for the knife and punched him in the jaw when Wolf tried to reach for the knife again. The officer then was able to toss the knife away. Another officer arrived and handcuffed the doctor.
Slain boy remembered
Tommy Wolf, 9, was remembered Tuesday as a sweet boy. "He was always creative and feisty," said Kristin Moyer, 26, of Oklahoma City, who was a counselor at an after-school program at Casady School when Tommy was a student in 2006. "He was a little feisty kid, but he wasn't bad. Just a typical boy. He loved having fun with the rest of his friends," she said. "He was a real sweet kid. He did have his share of timeouts, just like the rest of them. But I really enjoyed him." Others who knew the boy made similar comments online at NewsOK.com. "I knew Tommy through Cub Scouts," wrote Cheldrea Mollett of Oklahoma City. "He was a lovely, sweet and wonderful boy. God has him now, and he is at peace."

Reginald Delany Crews II has been playing the violin since he was 5 years old. As the now high school junior grew and his talent blossomed, he has found it to be something he has enjoyed more and more.
On Tuesday night, Crews was crowned the 2014 North Augusta Idol thanks to his rendition of "Concerto in A Minor, Op. 3, No. 6, 1st Movement."
It also happened to be the competition's 10th anniversary.
"I just came out, and I love to make people smile," he said. "So I did my best to do that. This is one of the concertos I play in concerto competitions, so I figured, 'Why not expose it to everyone else and let everyone else see it?'"
Carol Terry, the director of North Augusta Idol, said Crews started playing violin in elementary school. She and Peggy Burnett, coordinator of North Augusta Idol, believe the first song he played was "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star."
"It's so nice for him to get rewarded for a talent like that," Terry said. "So many times they are overlooked."
Other winners included Kevin Arnold and Kayla Howard, who came in first and second at the high school level. Taylor Darville and Parker Blackburn were the top middle school finishers, and Heidi Coughenour and Ansley Parrish were the top duo from the elementary school ranks.
Howard also was named the second winner of the Mim Woodring Award for Excellence, an honor that was established last year.
"She has a really special place in my heart," Howard said, referring to Woodring. "I remember going over to Ms. Carol's house when I was in third grade. They both mentored and helped to make me the singer I am today. It's just a real honor."
Burnett said Howard was in fourth grade at Belvedere Elementary and sang "Amazing Grace," a capella style.
"She's been in the idol show several times, and we're just delighted to have her," she said.
Terry recounted that Howard did not know how to use a microphone back in those days.
"Mim gave her a hairbrush, and she sat in my dining room holding the hairbrush and practicing," she said. "Mim just really took an interest in her."
As far as Crews' upcoming plans, he said he performed in a wedding in the past and will be in a second one this summer. Beyond that, he plans to take things as they come. He will return to the stage next year, like Mary Tabor, the 2013 North Augusta Idol and inaugural winner of the Mim Woodring Award for Excellence, did with her performance to "Shake It Out."
The 22-contestant field yielded some great talent that continues to get better and better every year, according to Terry and Burnett.
All proceeds raised by ticket sales will go toward a fine arts scholarship presented to a graduating high school senior who will major or minor in the arts in college.
Scott Rodgers is the news editor at The North Augusta Star and has been with the paper since January 2013.

George F. Will: LBJ's bifurcated legacy
Twenty-nine percent of Americans — about 47 percent of blacks and 48 percent of Hispanics — live in households receiving means-tested benefits. And "the proportion of men 20 and older who are employed has dramatically and almost steadily dropped since the start of the War on Poverty, falling from 80.6 percent in January 1964 to 67.6 percent 50 years later." Because work — independence, self-reliance — is essential to the culture of freedom, ominous developments have coincided with Great Society policies:
For every adult man ages 20 to 64 who is between jobs and looking for work, more than three are neither working nor seeking work, a trend that began with the Great Society.
And what Eberstadt calls "the earthquake that shook family structure in the era of expansive anti-poverty policies" has seen out-of-wedlock births increase from 7.7 percent in 1965 to more than 40 percent in 2012, including 72 percent of black babies.
LBJ's starkly bifurcated legacy includes the triumphant Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965 — and the tragic aftermath of much of his other works. Eberstadt asks: Is it "simply a coincidence" that male flight from work and family breakdown have coincided with Great Society policies, and that dependence on government is more widespread and perhaps more habitual than ever? Goldwater's insistent 1964 question is increasingly pertinent: "What's happening to this country of ours?"

Re: FRIDAY PREMIUM SERVICE PLAYS
Indian Cowboy
4 Unit Play.Take the Toronto Raptors -5.5 over Oklahoma City Thunder
Glad we were able to cash the under last night in Chicago. For tonight's play, let's take the Raptors at home against the Thunder. The Raps have been playing much better at home lately with wins of 9 over Milwaukee, 24 over the Clippers and 23 over Indiana. The total was interesting in the sense that I felt that this game would go over given that Toronto has put up 115 (against milwaukee), 100 (against the clips), 110 (against indiana), 101 (against utah) and 102 (against miami). Hence, I was leaning on the over, but I laid off as the Thunder have played in 6 straight and 8 of 9 unders. I understand the Thunder come off a tough loss to the Lakers at home but the Raps getting hot right now and they have a sound rotation that is playing well with the addition of Marion. With Parker, Calderon, Bosh, Marion, Bargnani, and Kapono, this team has put together 6 guys that can score as all 6 had at least 14 points against the Bucks. The Bucks in many ways are similar to Oklahoma as they try to focus on defense and have limited offense. Oklahoma City is a solid team but they rely a great deal on their outside shot. Toronto attempted around 40 free throws in their last contest against Milwaukee as they are taking it to the hoop with more agressiveness as Marion allows this team to do that as he has in some ways change this team's style of play. So, rather than the over, let's just roll with Toronto at home, with revenge over a Thunder team that defeated them eariler this year and a team who is beginning to cover at home with regularity again. The Raps are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 contests as a favorite and 4-1 ATS against teams with a winning % of less than .400 meaning the Raps are stepping up againts weaker teams. This team has underachieved so much this year, maybe they are starting to pull it together a bit more with Marion as he gives them an added scoring and rebounding lift.
4 Unit Play. Take Syracuse +1 over Oklahoma Sooners
After a nice winner with San Diego State, JMU doesn't show up for us in a dismal call on my end. Let's back on track with the Orange as they face the Oklahoma Sooners tonight. Keep in mind I faded Oklahoma when they faced Missouri earlier this year as well. It's not that I'm not a fan of both Griffins, but Oklahoma has not beat a top 25 power ranking team all year. Syracuse is an average of 10 in most power rankings currently. Oklahoma did beat Purdue who is ranked 30th and beat Texas once this yaer at home. But, when they went on the road to face a top 25 power ranking team in Texas they lost by 5, they lost to Kansas at home by 9, Missouri on the road by 9 and top 30 Oklahoma State on neutral footing by 1. Yes, this team beat Morgan State and Michigan, but they struggled in the Michigan at times which the final score does not show. So, you have an Oklahoma team that lost to Kansas, Oklahoma State, Texas and Missouri, all teams in the top 25 in power rankings with Ok State in the top 30. Oklahoma has beat just one team in the top 25 in the power rankings all year and it was Texas one of two times. Syracuse on the other hand, comes off from the Big East and has severa major wins this year. This team beat West Virginia, a top 20 power ranking team, Uconn a top 5 power ranking team, Arizona State a top 20 power ranking team and a top 20 team in Marquette on the road. Syracuse is coming together at the right time this year and their win against Kansas in semi-road game as well as a win against Memphis goes to show the strength of this team. I like Syracuse here given their strength of schedule in defeating top 25 power ranking teams and Oklahoma struggling against such taems despite having talented players. Jim B is a great big game coach and time and time again, let it be the Big East Tournament or the Dance, his players continue to do well while Coach Capel is a bit more green when it comes to the Dance. This should be a great game - a relatively tight game, but I see 'Cuse winning by 6-8 points here. Let's take the Orange as they are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 overall games, 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games on neutral footing and the Sooners are 1-4 ATS in their last 5 contests against the Big East.

"We ordered these stickers to be placed on the gifts given out at a baby shower. They pulled everything together. From the invites to the thank you cards, everything coordinated and looked polished and professional."
"We were looking for a sticker photo for my daughter's sorority recruitment cards. It needed to be small. The size was perfect, but I would've liked to have seen a few more designs. In particularly more "grown up" designs. The ones you currently offer have a baby/child theme."
"Ordered these to go with my invitations. They matched perfect! The quality of the paper is great! It's awesome how you can personalize the font and colors! Very elegant! I recommend them as they put a beautiful finishing touch to the envelopes."
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"

Survey the pop-culture universe, and it's clear that a significant chunk of it originated in the mind of comic-book artist Jack Kirby. Not only did he co-create most of the foundation of the Marvel Universe (and a significant chunk of DC Comics' as well), but his concepts and designs have influenced countless artists and filmmakers. And yet, despite being one of comics' most important pioneers, in his lifetime Kirby failed to achieve the fame and financial rewards enjoyed by his frequent collaborator, Stan Lee. Now, comic book writer Fred Van Lente and award-winning playwright Crystal Skillman are debuting King Kirby, a play about his life, at the Brick Theater's Comic Book Theater Festival.
First off, could you describe Jack Kirby's importance to comics, and to the culture at large?
FVL: We like to call Kirby "the most famous artist you never heard of," particularly for non-comics readers. He co-created Captain America, the Fantastic Four, the Hulk, the Avengers, the X-Men. He was pivotal in the creation of romance comics. He did some of the best science-fiction comics in the '70s; he was one of the first to do independent comics in the '80s. The reason the San Diego Comic-Con is in San Diego is that it was close enough to his house so he could come. I could go on, but why bother?
CS: I knew him more from The New Gods [a sci-fi title Kirby created for DC Comics, which influenced Star Wars, among many other things]. I could see the larger imprint that he had. So when Fred had an idea for a play of his life, I was really excited.
FVL: I had written a play around 2002, before I became a comics pro. When the Comic Book Theater Festival started up, Crystal suggested I dust it off, and she did an incredible job rewriting it and reshaping the material.
What is it about Jack Kirby's life that makes good drama?
CS: Comics didn't really exist before these guys. People were creating this world as they go. That's always very exciting for an audience, because they're not being dropped into something they can't understand. These are guys who need work, and this is their skill. People can relate to that.
I think it's really cool that there are these big moments — going to war, serving under Patton and using his drawing skills to make maps — but there are these great little moments, too. We're very lucky that there are so many interviews with him, and he was so very vocal throughout his life. He's given us these little glimpses that he regrets certain moments. He's a really compelling character, because he admitted some failings, and fought for the things he believed in.
FVL: It's a grand tragedy in almost a Shakespearean way. I don't think anyone is interested in another "dreamy artist battles the cruel, harsh world of the marketplace" story. These are fallible people. And many of the reasons why no one knows who Kirby is outside of comics — the blame can be rested very much on Kirby's shoulders. I'm heartened that all the people who've read the play are pleased at how evenhanded it is. It's as much a man versus himself story as it is a man versus Stan Lee story.
How are you showcasing Kirby's art in the production?
FVL: Our lead, Steven Rattazzi [the voice of Dr. Orpheus on The Venture Bros.], studied animation when he was younger, and he's going to draw onstage. So we'll have Steven's live drawings in addition to the actual Kirby artwork. Obviously we don't expect an actor to be able to mimic Kirby's drawing style.
CS: Drawing is an important action of the play, and the way it's coming to life will be very exciting. John Hurley [who also directed Action Philosophers, a play Skillman adapted from one of Van Lente's comics] is a very visual director, but he also keeps things grounded and moving. We're moving very quickly through the play and his life, but they're such dynamic moments that sometimes they imitate the genre he's working on at the time.
FVL: Part of the conceit of the play is that since Kirby's art is so frenetic and action-packed, the show is very frenetic and packed with detail — hopefully in a way that the audience finds super fun and simple to follow.
You're also doing a Kickstarter for the production. Has that changed its ambition or scope?
FVL: Not really. The Kickstarter has allowed us to get the best people and get the best actors, and have the freedom to do the best possible production we could. The other great thing is that the Kickstarter campaign also serves as a marketing campaign. It's a way to get the word out.
CS: It really allows these projects to live and breathe, and get to the audience. What's exciting is proving the need for something. It's very moving, because people have been sharing it everywhere and saying, "Help this. Help this come to life." That's a really gorgeous thing.
What do you hope audiences come away with after seeing King Kirby?

Gavin Rees says he is hungrier than ever as he faces Derry Mathews in his first defence of the European Lightweight title on Saturday night at the Newport Centre, live on Sky Sports 1 and HD1 from 8pm knowing a win can bring him one step closer to his two-weight World champion dream.
Rees won the World Boxing Association (WBA) Light-Welterweight World crown in 2007 and believes that four years later, he is in prime condition to get another World title shot at Lightweight but after beating Mathews, he is eyeing up another all-British clash.
I don't mind who I have to fight to win a World title, said Rees. But I'd love a fight with Kevin Mitchell too. It's a fight that I think I'd win but it'd be a cracker and one that fight fans and Sky Sports would love to see.
Before a World title shot though, theres the small matter of Saturdays Wales v England battle, as Mathews steps into the ring with a top class opponent over 12 rounds for the first time since coming back from retirement.
I would never look beyond my next fight and what is in front of me, and I know that Derry is a hungry fighter and one that will give everything against me, said Rees. Hes come back from a little break and is on a nice run of wins after moving up to Lightweight.
A break does you good sometimes. When you have been training hard every week 10 years or so, you probably need time off just to rediscover your love for it. Since Derry's come back from his break he's had five or six wins all through stoppages so it's going to be a great fight.
Things have got heated on Twitter and Facebook, with Rees on the receiving end from some of Mathews fans but the Welshman laughed off suggestions that those taunts have got under his skin, and predicted that the Liverpool fighter will suffer the sixth knockout of his career.
He'll be in there on his own in on Saturday so we'll see then, said Rees. He's four fights unbeaten now which people make a big deal out of, so if I make a statement against him then it's good for me. Ive had eight weeks of excellent training, he's getting knocked out for the sixth time and we both know it. His last opponent Stephen Jennings had only five fights under his belt and it was his first fight over six rounds hes a novice and nowhere near my level so his last win is not even a factor.
Rees last opponent was Andy Murray, the Irishman who travelled to Cardiff to face Rees for the vacant European strap. The victory never looked beyond doubt after the opening rounds, but Rees seemed to tire in the mid-section of the fight, and despite a strong finish, the old questions of conditioning were raised Rees was quick to respond when they were put to him again.
I got a bit tired towards the end but that's been rectified and I'm in perfect shape now, said Rees. Training has been great and Ive worked hard on my diet and condition as well. Sparring with Ricky Burns and Frankie Gavin is perfect preparation for any fight. You have to travel about a bit to get some different sparring as I've had it all my own way in Wales really, but it's been worth it.
The 31 year-old talks with new found vigour about the path ahead and believes it all began with making the decision to team up with new trainer Gary Lockett. The former WBU Middleweight champion unveiled a secret weapon in getting Rees in perfect shape for Saturday and beyond a former Mister Wales winner.
We bought in an old friend in Renzo Algieri who is a former Mr Wales from back in the 90s with a bodybuilding background, said Lockett. He knows everything there is to know about nutrition and diet and its worked a treat. When Gavin checked weighed-in a week ago he had to get back on the scales because he thought they were lying to him!
There have been problems in the past with his diet, but I don't really blame Gavin for that. When you have been doing something for really wrong so long, then it becomes embedded in you. When he joined me I couldn't just give him a crash course in how to do things right. The diet was the last thing we worked on but when someone has been boiling the weight off the old fashioned way for years, and they start having a new routine, as soon as the weight doesn't shift they revert back to the old ways, and that's exactly what happened against Andy Murray.
People keep going on that he died after six rounds and that he needs to be fitter what do they think we are doing? I've been there in 12 rounders and I know what it takes to be strong over that distance, so it was nothing to do with fitness, all to do with diet. What he did the day before the weigh-in to make the weight was ridiculous and the fact he went 12 rounds is a testament to his strength, his condition and his desire for the sport. Normally, a fight with Andy I'd expect him to win it in three or four rounds, but he had to go 12 rounds because he killed himself so badly to make the weight.
Rees calls joining up with Lockett a second life and explained that its through his hard work and teaming up with Gary and Matchroom Sport that he is taking another step closer to his two-weight dream on Saturday.
After my World Title loss I had a year's break, said Rees. The Calzaghe camp went a bit pear-shaped, I sorted things out, came back and won Prizefighter. I joined up with Matchroom Sport, won the British and European, and now things are looking good for another World title crack.
Matchroom have got a great stable coming on, there are big names with young hot prospects too, it's the best promotional outfit in Britain and it's great to be a part of it.
When I came back and won Prizefighter it seemed a bit easy really, I didn't really train for it and I was at 10st 3lb, nice and comfy. From that point on I realised that it was a massive springboard and I started to knuckle down, train harder, eat right and make things happen thats why Saturday is such a big night.

Darren Hamilton: Im Fighting For Redemption, Not The Money
With all the controversy surrounding the recent Victor Ortiz - Floyd Mayweather jnr. fight many London fans may be a little confused to why Ortiz only received the penalty of a single point deduction - and a dubious sucker punch KO for his efforts - whilst back at York Hall in June Darren Hamilton was not just disqualified, but also fined and suspended, for an almost identical action against Dave Ryan.
Like Ortiz, Hamilton accepted the result without argument. In fact the likable Bristol born fighter, now residing in London, has spent a lot of time soul searching and bridge mending, as he is keen to make amends before the pair once again face each other, for The British Master Light Welterweight title, a second time on the Spencer Fearon Hard Knocks Boxing Promotions This is Hard Knocks show at York Hall in London on Friday, 7th October.
Hamiltons determination to make amends, for that red mist moment, became clear when he spoke earlier today, Im fighting for redemption, not the money, hes fighting for the money.
Basically Dave Ryan has asked for more money to fight me again, myself personally Im completely not interested in the money.
You wouldnt believe what I actually went through. On the night I didnt realise the seriousness of what I did.
Afterwards I soon found out. Not only couldnt I box for twenty eight days, because the British Boxing Board of Control suspended me, but I also had to pay a fine to the BBBofC.
I was getting abuse from his fans. My girlfriend, who was at the fight at the time, she was getting abuse as well from his fans. Some of it I heard, it was racial abuse.
Since then Ive also been getting abuse on the internet from his fans, which I may not like but do understand.
I let Spencer (promoter Spencer Fearon) down, I let the fans down and I let myself down, something I am really sorry for.
Its put me in a position, like where I was before, where I have to prove myself again like I did against Ideh Ochuku, after being knocked out by Daryl Setterfield, and the time they said I didnt have a chance against Peter McDonagh, where I was the complete underdog.
Ive gone right back to that hunger again, this is it again right now. I am completely solemn and completely dedicated to winning this fight. My head is completely on it, its all Ive been thinking about, you know.
Darren Hamilton versus Dave Ryan, for the British Masters Light Welterweight title, will take place at the Hard Knocks Boxing Promotions This Is Hard Knocks event, which will be headlined by Choi Tseveenpürev, at York Hall, Bethnal Green, on Friday 7th October 2011 and broadcast live on Premier Sports (Sky channel 433).
Tickets for This Is Hard Knocks - priced £35 (Unreserved) and £60 (Ringside), are available now on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com or in person at The TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, Gillian House, Stephenson Street, Canning Town, London E16 4SA. For further information please call 07960 850645.
Undefeated prospect Lionell Thompson added to Oct. 22 McGuinness-Gaudet undercard
TORONTO (September 28, 2011) Unbeaten light heavyweight prospect Lionell Lonnie B Thompson has been added to the Logan Cotton McGuinness vs. Benoit Gaudetundercard, presented by Hennessy Sports in association with Interbox and United Promotions, on Saturday night, October 22 at The Hershey Centre in Mississauga, Ontario.
The 26-year-old Thompson (9-0, 6 KOs), fighting out of Buffalo, was a standout amateur who was rated as high as No. 2 in the country. A five-time New York Golden Glove and three-time Empire State champion, Lonnie B turned pro in 2009 but his career was kick-started last November, when he signed with manager, Tim Ziccardi, and added former world light middleweight title challenger Ross The Boss Thompson (no relations) to his corner as chief second.
We have very high hopes for Lionell,promoter Adam Harris (Hennessy Sports) said. Hes a solid boxer-puncher who lives in the gym. Nobody works harder than this kid and he now has a great team behind him in Tim and Ross. His addition to an already great boxing card insures that itll be a night to remember for boxing fans.
Since teaming-up with Ziccardi and Thompson, Lionell is 5-0 with four knockouts. Ive known Lionell since he was 16, Ziccardi remarked. Ive always respected him as a person and fighter. We agreed to do this at the highest level and to fight often. Hes already had five fights this year, not including his Oct. 22 fight, and he had one scheduled bout fall-out the day of the fight back in January. His boxing IQ and talent levels are higher than most and his work effort is the highest. He went running after his fight against Angel Gonzalez. Sometimes, Ross has to take his gym bag away, but he still shows up at the gym (Ross Thompson Gym in Buffalo).
Boxing isnt a sport to him; its a lifestyle. He eats clean and Friday and Saturday nights hes watching boxing, not going out. He prides himself as a throwback fighter who is always ready to fight. Lionell Thompson was born to box.
Thompson will fight Oct. 22 in a six-round fight against an opponent to be determined.
McGuinness (15-0-1, 7 KOs), presently rated No. 11 by the World Boxing Association (WBA), is the reigning North American Boxing Association (NABA) Lightweight Champion, but the Orangeville, Ontario native will abdicate his belt in order to fight Gaudet for the vacant NABA super featherweight title in the main event.
Former world title challenger Gaudet (24-2, 10 KOs) is a former NABA super featherweight title-holder. The Quebec boxer Gaudet was stopped by defending champion Humberto Soto in their 2009 World Boxing Council (WBC) super featherweight championship match, which was the co-feature on the Manny Pacquiao-Ricky Hatton mega-fight card.
Unbeaten Columbian welterweight Samuel Vargas (7-0-1, 1 KO), fighting out of Mississauga, Ontario, takes on outspoken Montreal favorite Ahmad Cheikho (6-3-2, 5 KOs) in the 8/10-round co-feature.
In a six-round bout, former Canadian amateur standout Ibrahim Firearm Kamal (5-0, 4 KOs) puts his perfect record on the line against TBA, while a pair of Ontario lightweights Jeremy Abbott (2-2, 1 KO) and Harrison McBain (3-3-1) face each other in an expected 4/6 round brawl.
Also fighting on the undercard in four-round bouts are Ontario fighters Dillon Carman(1-0), a heavyweight prospect, light middleweight Brandon Bad Boy Cook(2-00, 1 KO), and super featherweight Natasha Spence (2-0-1, 2 KOs). All fights and fighters are subject to change.
Tickets, starting at $30.00, may be purchased at the Hersey Centre Box Office, through Ticketmaster at (855) 985-5000 or ticketmaster.ca.

Kanye Is Like Murdered Jews, Hitler, Says Kanye
He is practically begging Drake to respond!
On Saturday night, performing in Britain, rapper Kanye West compared himself to Hitler—but in a good way. "I walk through the hotel and I walk down the street, and people look at me like I'm (expletive) insane, like I'm Hitler," he told the crowd, to modest boos. "One day the light will shine through and one day people will understand everything I ever did." Just … like with Hitler? No, just not like with Hitler, okay.
On Watch the Throne, his new album with Jay-Z—which dropped on iTunes Sunday morning—one track, "Who Gon Stop Me," begins with Kanye rapping, "This is something like the Holocaust/Millions of our people lost." Like because of Hitler?
Kanye has played with overstating the tragedy of the black experience in America—or, some would say, with arguing that what are commonly taken as overstatements of that experience are in fact apt—before. "I treat the cash the way government treats AIDS," he rapped on "Gorgeous," the second track on last year's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. "I won't be satisfied till all my n***as get it. Get it?" (Get it?)
Still, to compare yourself both to Hitler and to Hitler's Jewish victims in the span of a few hours takes plenty of chutzpah. Maybe Drake isn't the most Jewish member of his feud with Kanye after all? In a subsequent verse of "Who Gon Stop Me," Kanye compares himself to the sportscasters Marv Albert and Howard Cosell, two extremely Jewish men. Drake, speak up!

Together almost 10 years, Eschenbach and the Houston Orchestra have achieved a distinctive personal style with flexible tempos and a more subjective approach to Brahms that constantly asks the question of why the music is the way it is. The result is some of the freshest, most probing and emotionally affecting music-making since Leonard Bernstein.

First time mask
Hi there, Alright this is my first time posting so be gentle. ok so this isn't a clay sculpture but i think you could put it under the category of "body sculpture". this was the final piece of my 6th forum design project. we had to design a one off body sculpture for what every reason. It was pretty broad so i went for a cuber punk theme. any way here it is.
well hope that works :/

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
F.E.A.R. and F.E.A.R. Files took a bit to grow on me, but the solid gameplay finally won me over. I would have to rate F.E.A.R. 2 about the same as the first two. The gameplay is not quite as good, but the atmosphere is a hell of a lot scarier. In particular, the school sequence was done very well.

John Lawless reports, "Since the flooding of the Cumberland River in Nashville ravaged their production facilities in May of 2010, Gibson has not assembled or shipped a single banjo. Nor have they been willing to discuss the status of banjo building in their future plans…Numerous calls and emails to Gibson for comment since have been met with stony silence. Existing dealers have only been told (for the past 3 years) that no banjo production is expected each year. One call to the main Gibson customer service line verified this fact, and that no banjos have been shipped since the flood."
- Grant Britt of American Songwriter wrote a lengthy feature on Dale Watson. An excerpt: Although he's rubbing shoulders on the Billboard charts with the same people who are disparaging his music, he's not looking for a confrontation. "If I was in the same room with Blake Shelton, I wouldn't need to say anything to him because my music speaks for itself," Watson says. "I've been in a room with some bigger folks. I mean, huge, huge stars and they said, 'Man, I wish I could do what you do.' And I just turned to 'em and I said 'You can. You could do it.' But what they mean by that is radio wouldn't play it if they did and they can't do it and make the kind of money they're making doing this other stuff, what the record company tells 'em to do. I'm very confident in my career where it's at now. A lot of folks who are on the charts, they probably can't say that, probably a little embarrassed next to me."

A couple of "close enoughs" from Neil Young:
Tonight's the Night (written about roadie Bruce Berry)
Needle and the Damage Done (written about Crazy Horse guitarist Danny Whitten, who died shortly thereafter of a drug overdose)
Some other songs that directly address dead bandmates:
"Song for Roy"- Sam Bush's song for/to fellow Nash Rambler, Roy Husky, Jr. ("Here's a song just to say farewell, rest in peace, 'til we pick again.")
"Pilgrim"- Steve Earle also wrote this song for/to Roy Husky, Jr. ("We'll meet again on some bright highway. Songs to sing and tales to tell.
But I am just a pilgrim on this road, boys
Until I see you fare thee well."
"Your Long Journey"- If you consider Merle a bandmate of Doc Watson's… "My heart breaks as you take your long journey."
Also, while he doesn't "directly address" him in the song, I've read that the second verse of Gram Parsons' "In My Hour of Darkness" is about his former bandmate in the Byrds, Clarence White.
One more:
"Run Conejo Run" by Dave Alvin, which is about Chris Gaffney.
Speaking of Dave Alvin, also "Black Rose of Texas," which he wrote about Guilty Women band mate Amy Farris. ("All the pills you kept beside your bed were never enough to ease your mind….")

Lena Dunham's long-awaited appearance on the pages of Vogue was released Wednesday, though not without a bit of controversy: The Girls creator seems to be heavily airbrushed in one of the shots, and the cover shows only her face, and none of her figure.
She tweeted at the magazine Thursday, "Dear @voguemagazine: Thank you. Love, Lena."
PHOTOS: Don't Call Me Fat! 25 Stars Who Have Lashed Out At Criticism Of Their Weight
On the front of the February issue — taken by the great Annie Leibovitz — Dunham is clad in a red polka dot shirt. In the mag, Dunham, 27, is lauded as having "brilliantly captured the anxieties and ambitions of a generation" with her contributions to the show, which she writes, and also stars in as lead character Hannah Horvath.
Don't forget, it was Radar to first report the news that Anna Wintour was heavily courting the pop culture breakout for the coveted cover of her mag.

A poll taken by Travelhorizons, a research program funded by the U.S. Travel Association, found that 18 percent of regular travelers take their pets with them when they travel. Those 18 percent know how difficult, time-consuming, and expensive it is to fly with a pet. But what about the rest of us?
There are special regulations, preflight requirements, extra costs, and a load of information you'll need to absorb before you can board a plane with your four-legged buddy. In the video below, Money Talks News founder Stacy Johnson breaks it all down. Check it out and then read on for more information about flying with your pets…
Stacy explained what to expect, but here are some more ways to make flying easier on you and your pet…
The cost
As Stacy said in the video, the cost for flying Fido ranges from $75 to $650 and up and depends on several factors, especially the airline you choose, since they charge vastly different prices.
Then there's how you fly. If you have a small pet, most airlines will allow you to bring it onboard with you. But you'll pay a service fee, and your pet's carrier or kennel counts as a carry-on. If you need to bring another carry-on (like your laptop,) you'll have to pay an additional fee. Here are a few rate examples:
- American Airlines – $125 per carrier
- United Airlines – $125 per carrier
- Southwest Airlines – $75 per carrier
If your pet carrier isn't small enough to fit under your seat, you'll have to check your pet as cargo. Don't fret, Fido will ride in a temperature-controlled cargo section of the plane. Here are a few rate examples:
- American Airlines – $175 per carrier
- United Airlines – starting at $169 per carrier
- Delta – starting at $178 per carrier
Then there's size. Many airlines charge based on the height and weight of your pet. For example, United Airlines charges from $169 for a 1- to 9-pound pet and up to $659 for a 201- to 250-pound pet traveling within the United States.
If your pet is flying alone, you'll pay based on the weight of your pet and the distance of the flight. You can get an exact quote by contacting the airline directly.
And just in case the pricing isn't confusing enough, many airlines also have restrictions on what types of pets and flying situations they'll accept. For example, some airlines – like American and Delta – have breed restrictions for both in-cabin and cargo-shipped pets. For dogs, that typically includes snub-nose breeds like pit bulls, mastiffs, and pugs, because of breathing issues.
Some cats are also restricted. American Airlines, for example, doesn't allow Burmese, Persian, Himalayan, and Exotic Shorthair cats on their flights. Many airlines also ban kittens and puppies that are less than 8 weeks old.
Other airlines may require you to accompany your pet. For example, Southwest Airlines won't let pets travel alone or with a minor. Depending on the flight, you might not be able to sit in certain parts of the plane. And Delta doesn't permit in-cabin pets in business class.
What you'll need
Booking a flight with Fluffy is a bit more complicated than buying a ticket for yourself. First, pets require a reservation, so you'll need to contact the airline directly when you book your ticket.
Most airlines require a veterinary certificate showing your pet is healthy and approved for travel. And your vet may require other services – like flea medication or vaccinations – before clearing your pet for takeoff.
In colder temperatures, you might need to get an "acclimation certificate" from your vet stating that your pet can handle cold weather.
On the day of your flight, you'll need to bring your pet to the ticket counter in an approved transportation carrier or kennel: Generally, one that's large enough for your pet to stand up and turn around will do. You'll also need to give your pet food and water, then take them to the designated area so they can relieve themselves before the flight.
Flying with your pet sounds complicated and expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Here are a few tips to minimize the cost and the stress:
- Research flights early. Compare the cost of flights on several airlines and call the airlines' reservation line to get a quote for your pet's travel costs.
- Get a list of requirements from the airline several weeks before you fly to make sure there aren't any surprises at the airport.
- Schedule an appointment with your vet after you book your flight. Tell the vet you'll need a travel certificate.
- Make sure you book a pet-friendly hotel. Check out our story 10 of the Most Popular Pet-Friendly Hotels in America for ideas or search for your own on a site like petswelcome.com.
- Shop around for a travel carrier or ask your friends and family if they've flown with a pet before. They may have one you can borrow.
- Test your travel carrier by having your pet sit inside. Make sure your pet has enough room to move around. Otherwise, you may have to buy an expensive carrier from the airline.
- Arrive at the airport early. You'll have to visit the ticket counter, go through security with your pet, and prep your pet for travel. Give yourself plenty of time.

Product description
Between 58 and 50BC Caesar conquered most of the area now covered by France, Belgium and Switzerland, and twice invaded Britain. This is the record of his campaigns. Caesar's narrative offers insights into his military strategy & paints a fascinating picture of his encounters with the inhabitant of Gaul and Britain, as well as offering lively portraits of a number of key characters such as the rebel leaders and Gallic chieftains. This can also be read as a piece of political propaganda, as Caesar sets down his version of events for the Roman public, knowing that he faces civil war on his return to Rome.

Author information
Gaius Julius Caesar was born in 100 BC into an ancient patrician family. Much of his life was spent on military campaigns, & he returned to govern Rome as dictator. His dictatorship was declared perpetual in 44 BC, but his many bitter enemies hatched a conspiracy & assasinated him later that year. S. Handford translated a number of authors for Penguin, including Sallust and Aesop.

Drive Corrupted Need Advice
A family member has an old G4 iBook running 10.4.11 (Tiger). Recently, it has refused to boot up past the first screen (with spinning gear).
I ran disk utility off of the Tiger installation cd and it failed to repair the drive and it gave the message "Reserved fields in catalog record have incorrect data".
I started the iBook in target mode and connected it to another Mac. The drive mounted on my desktop and would open up but would give me the spinning beach ball when I attempted to open things.
Doing a Google search, a few people recommended Diskwarrior to recover the drive. Does anyone have an opinion on this program or are there better recovery programs ?
I'm taking my family member out to shop for a new computer (he wants another Mac) so my goal is just to recover what files I can from the iBook.
|Feb 5, 2013, 04:57 PM
DiskWarrior is not a recovery application perse, it is a structure repair app. so it iwll rebuild the directory the way it should be so you can access your files.
Id highly recommend it, it should fix up the issue and allow you to access the files without a problem
|Feb 5, 2013, 06:41 PM
Seems to me....
DiskWarrior can do the trick. But also Techtool Pro and Data Rescue. You maybe can try getting a demo and seeing how it works for you/how much you can recover
Mac Pro 2012 3.06 Westmere version, 12 Core 64 GB RAM, 4 TB , iPhone 5 (black), Moto G 8 GB (black)
|Feb 5, 2013, 06:53 PM
Keep in mind that sometimes one tool won't work, but another will. I've had situations where Disk Warrior couldn't do anything, but Data Rescue could. And I've had Disk Warrior work perfectly.
So you just never know. With Data Rescue III you can get a trial that will only recover a few files, but if it recovers some it will likely recover most. So if it works in the test, you pay the $ and proceed.
With Disk Warrior you have to pay up front, because you get the whole package and either it works or it doesn't. This isn't a knock against DW -- it's about the way their recovery software works. As another poster said, DW will try to reconstruct your disk in place.
Data Rescue III pulls files off the corrupt disk and makes no attempt to repair it.
The other package -- can't say, because I don't know anything about it. But I've worked with DW and DR3 and I like them both.
|Feb 6, 2013, 10:47 AM
"a few people recommended Diskwarrior to recover the drive. Does anyone have an opinion on this program or are there better recovery programs?"
DiskWarrior is a utility that can repair damaged directories on working drives.
I think you have two possibilities here:
1. The drive in the MacBook is still ok (no hardware failure), but has software corruption (possibly in the disk directory, possibly elsewhere), or
2. The drive has a hardware problem of some sort.
The fact that the drive mounts on the desktop in target disk mode seems to indicate that the hardware is ok. If it wouldn't mount at all, this might point to a hardware problem.
Have you tried using Disk Utility on the drive (when it's mounted in target disk mode)?
What does Disk Utility "report back" when you try to repair it?
If you use DiskWarrior on the drive, and if it CAN'T repair the damage, the only alternative might be to go to "data recovery software" such as:
- Data Rescue 3
- Disk Drill
- Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery

'Votes' Of Sub-cellular Variables Control Cell Fate
Members of a population of identical cells often "choose" different fates, even though they exist in identical conditions.
The difference may rest with the "hidden variables" within the cells, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in a report that appears in the current issue of the journal Cell.
That finding, tested in bacterial cells of Escherichia coli infected with viruses called bacteriophage lambda, challenges the commonly held belief that the differences in fate rest with random chemical events that occur as the cells move among one another in their environment.
"One theme that recurs is that these cellular decisions are always noisy," said Dr. Ido Golding (http://www.bcm.edu/biochem/?PMID=11830), assistant professor of biochemistry and molecular biology at BCM. "Sometimes cells choose fate A and sometimes fate B. The decision is never sharp "" all one way or the other. "
The standard story as to why "noise" exists in cell fate decisions is the randomness of the environment inside the cell. Molecules bump into other molecules, and the resulting chemical reaction helps determine a cell's fate.
"There's merit to that hypothesis," said Golding. "You can also hypothesize that maybe it's not the whole story. Maybe we are missing an important parameter or a 'hidden variable.'"
Those "hidden variables" might make the cell fate decisions more understandable, he said.
The viruses (bacteriophage lambda) and the bacterial cells he used are common "models" in biology, often used to prove a principle before moving on to more complicated systems.
Suppose that two of these viruses infect the same cell. The cell has two possible fates. In one, the virus kills the cell, which explodes, releasing hundreds of new viruses. In the second, the cell survives with the virus' genome integrating itself into the cell's genome. The cell divides but lives under a shadow. At any point, the virus can switch to its "kill" mode.
What Golding and his colleagues found was that each virus independently makes a decision between cell life and cell death. With two viruses, that means there are four possible combinations of decisions. However, the cell continues to live only if both viruses choose that way. All other combinations result in the cell's death. The voting mechanism remains the same, no matter how many viruses invade the cell.
"Obviously, this is a simple system," said Golding.
"Is this framework useful for thinking about how decisions are made in higher systems," said Golding. "People know that copy number variation matters. You might have 10 copies of a gene and a higher concentration of the associated protein. Does each copy make its own decision about cell fate?"
Others who took part in this research include Lanying Zeng, Samuel O. Skinner of the University of Illinois at Urbana and Jean Sippy and Michael Feiss of the University of Iowa in Iowa City. Golding recently came to BCM from the University of Illinois.
Funding for this research comes from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation and the Human Frontier Science Program.

In Depth Show Blog - June 14, 2013
Friday - 6/14/2013, 8:47pm EDT
This is the In Depth show blog. Here you can listen to our interviews, find more information about the guests on the show each day, as well as links to other stories and resources we discuss.
Today's guests:
Senior Benefits Director
National Institute of Transition Planning
It's been more than a year since Congress passed legislation allowing seasoned federal employees to ease into retirement gradually working part time while collecting a partial retirement. Earlier this month, the Office of Personnel Management issued its first proposed regulations to implement the law. They answered a lot of questions about how phased retirement will work but not all of them. Here to walk us through what we know about phased retirement and what we still don't is Tammy Flanagan, the senior benefits director for the National Institute of Transition Planning.
Executive Director
The field of cyber forensics is growing more and more important to both public and private sector organizations for reasons that don't need much explaining. But what is a "cyber forensics professional," and how do you know if you're hiring a competent one? One of the world's main IT security certification bodies is out to answer those questions. (ISC)2 has just introduced the first Cyber Forensics Professional certification. Hord Tipton, the executive director of (ISC)2 joins In Depth with more.
Garcia Cyber Partners
The advisory panel that helps oversee IT security across the federal government spent the latter half of this week getting a wide range of updates on what agencies are up to when it comes to securing federal systems and the emerging technologies that'll help them do it. The marathon of briefings to the Information Security and Privacy Advisory Board just wrapped up a few hours ago. Greg Garcia is a former asssistant secretary for cybersecurity at the Department of Homeland Security, and now the head of his own firm, Garcia Cyber Partners. He's also a member of the advisory board. He joins In Depth to recap the meetings.
Chief Sustainability Officer
U.S. Postal Service
The U.S. Postal Service says it gained further ground last year in cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions, facility energy use and solid waste. The numbers are in the Postal Service's annual sustainability report. Thomas Day is the postal service's chief sustainability officer. He talked with In Depth about the relationship between USPS's declining mail volume and its energy use.
Phillips & Cohen
One of the largest government contractors in the country has agreed to give back nearly $12 million to the federal government. SAIC reached the settlement with the federal government and a former employee-turned-whistleblower, which brought the suit under the federal false claims act, claiming SAIC falsified its costs under a government contract to train first responders in dealing with weapons of mass destruction. Tim McCormack, a partner at the law firm Phillips and Cohen, which represented the whistleblower, joins In Depth with more.
Executive Editor
Federal News Radio
The leaders of the House Veterans Affairs Committee believe the VA misled them and violated the law requiring the notification of data breaches. And now, lawmakers want VA to explain why in specific detail what happened and why agency technology leaders didn't tell them about multiple nation-state cyber attacks. Federal News Radio's executive editor Jason Miller joins In Depth with details on what lawmakers are seeking from VA.
