Differentiation potential of STRO-1+ dental pulp stem cells changes during cell passaging

BMC Cell Biology 2010, 11:32 doi:10.1186/1471-2121-11-32Published: 8 May 2010
Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) can be driven into odontoblast, osteoblast, and chondrocyte lineages in different inductive media. However, the differentiation potential of naive DPSCs after serial passaging in the routine culture system has not been fully elucidated.
DPSCs were isolated from human/rat dental pulps by the magnetic activated cell sorting based on STRO-1 expression, cultured and passaged in the conventional culture media. The biological features of STRO-1+ DPSCs at the 1st and 9th passages were investigated. During the long-term passage, the proliferation ability of human STRO-1+ DPSCs was downregulated as indicated by the growth kinetics. When compared with STRO-1+ DPSCs at the 1st passage (DPSC-P1), the expression of mature osteoblast-specific genes/proteins (alkaline phosphatase, bone sialoprotein, osterix, and osteopontin), odontoblast-specific gene/protein (dentin sialophosphoprotein and dentin sialoprotein), and chondrocyte-specific gene/protein (type II collagen) was significantly upregulated in human STRO-1+ DPSCs at the 9th passage (DPSC-P9). Furthermore, human DPSC-P9 cells in the mineralization-inducing media presented higher levels of alkaline phosphatase at day 3 and day 7 respectively, and produced more mineralized matrix than DPSC-P9 cells at day 14. In vivo transplantation results showed that rat DPSC-P1 cell pellets developed into dentin, bone and cartilage structures respectively, while DPSC-P9 cells can only generate bone tissues.
These findings suggest that STRO-1+ DPSCs consist of several interrelated subpopulations which can spontaneously differentiate into odontoblasts, osteoblasts, and chondrocytes. The differentiation capacity of these DPSCs changes during cell passaging, and DPSCs at the 9th passage restrict their differentiation potential to the osteoblast lineage in vivo.

This is a monologue from the movie Unbeaten 28, in which the master of the protagonist is having an interaction with the main antagonist before they compete in hand to hand combat.
After most of the verses on this song there is fighting action sounds, its like each clan members verse was like that move, whether it be a punch, kick, block, or combo move on the enemy…(Example=Meth "hold the golden touch like King Midas"…that whole verse was raw enough to block whatever the competition through at him.

My new favorite socks
05/21/15 | By Robert B.
I'm in the Army and recently purchased 3 pair of the KX socks in anticipation of doing a 25 mile rucksack march with a 35 pound pack and assorted combat kit. I wore these socks during the train up marches with no problems at all. As a matter of fact, these socks made my feet feel like they were wrapped in pillows. Last night I completed the 25 mile ruck, rotating through the 3 pair of KX socks every 7 miles, and I had no problems with my feet at all. I normally will get hot spots and blisters after 8-10 miles. These are the best socks I've ever worn and I won't ever go back to standard Army issue socks. Thank you for making this great product.
Great socks for mountain's and work
05/15/15 | By Victor S.
These are some of the best outdoors sock I have worn to date for hiking in the desert mountains. I do about 2 to 3 mile hike in to the mountains and back down again wich I hade no trouble with hot spots on my feet and with great support keeps you from getting your feet tired. I also used these for work with some great results, standing in my feet all day giving you the same benefits and also keep your feet from sweating to much.

Good socks as expected.
04/25/15 | By John henry E.
I like these sock a lot but not quite as much as my wool blend Thorlo hikers. The reason I purchased these instead of the wool models was that I was looking for a warm/hot weather alternative that would dry fast after rinsing/washing on the trail. They do seem to run slightly smaller than the wool version but stretch more.
My new favorite!
04/21/15 | By Dick A.
I have worn Thorlo Light Hikers for years, but this model was new to me. More padding, which makes my feet less tired, and the solid color is more fashionable (I think) than the Heather pattern on the light hikers.
Loved wearing them before my son stole them from me

04/17/15 | By Christopher J.
very comfortable. Wore them playing paintball in 25 degree weather in the snow. My feet stayed comfortable even though the socks became wet. Awesome testament to their quality. Will buy a second pair.
The best
04/17/15 | By Clif S.
These are the absolute best. Makes my feet sing! I'll never buy cheep socks again. Yesterday I went out and bought Thorlos, same ones actually. These are the most comfortable, best fitting, dry-feet, socks I can imagine. The saying "you get what you pay for" is very true here. Also, check out the company profile - a most wonderful company. A+++++++
Nice Socks
04/12/15 | By Stephan D.
These socks fit well, true to size ,they have great cushion, makes a very good hiking boot sock if your boots don't fit to snug , these are a thicker sock and also for cooler weather. Thorlos are well made !

Federer vs Murray - 2013 AO semi-finals

Federer is having to muscle the ball too much. Long gone is the languid 'liquid whip' forehand; it's been replaced with one that often displays a small hitch, and is far more measured and manufactured. While Tsonga was finding ways to hit through the court, Roger by comparison was struggling. He always did rely on fluid, harmonious technique in order to generate his wicked pace and spins but with his more abbreviated stroke productions, which have slowly manifested themselves into his game over the last 5 years, he is unable to generate the same sort of consistent force - he cannot 'muscle' a ball in that manner in the same way that Tsonga can or indeed as proved recently, with his very strange and abbreviated swing mechanics indeed, Bernard Tomic.
In short, I don't think he'll find the adequate answers to hit through Murray, and certainly not Nole. He still has a chance though, can't count out silly old Wodgie now, can we.

Walk Description
This three-hour tour of London focuses on the life and work of Charles Dickens, a critical figure in English literature during the middle of the nineteenth century. By connecting a number of his works to the places related to his life and characters, we will paint a portrait of Dickens, his times, and the social context in which he lived.
Charles Dickens called London his 'Magic Lantern', and it not only became his inspiration but also served as almost a character in one of his novels. He tramped the streets alone from an early age and was himself a wonderful mimic of the living characters he found there.
We start our walk near Temple, discussing Dickens' early years as a young worker in the Blacking Warehouse and the influence that those years had in creating characters like Oliver Twist and Little Dorrit. We will discuss the geographic division of the city and the presence of the famous rookeries - nineteenth-century slums - in the heart of London.
After a short walk, we will find ourselves in the area of Covent Garden. Here, we will discuss Dickens' connection to the place both as a child and as a famous writer. From here, we may head towards Bloomsbury, the center of literary London and home to the Dickens family from 1837 to 1839. Or we may delve into Marylebone where the writer lived for over ten years. Then again, we might explore the areas around Saint Bartholomew, Newgate, and Holborn, where scenes of many exciting episodes in his novels took place.
The characters described by Dickens are intrinsically linked to his life in London as a writer and publisher and as a direct witness of the terrible social conditions of the nineteenth century. As a result, our walk will look closely at the social and economic events of the 1800s and paint a portrait of the times in this context. Our walk will also offer us ample opportunity to discuss the influence of the city and its history on the style and on the personal life of Dickens and his contemporaries working in other disciplines. By the end of our time together we will emerge with a very vivid picture of the era in this context.

More leeway to excel at universities here
Educators confident quality of graduates will not suffer as varsities ease norms
Published on Aug 13, 2014 7:20 AM
Dropping poor grades, lower criteria for the honours' track and doing away with names like "third class".
Universities here are getting kindler and gentler. But life on campus will not become easier, said experts.
Amid concerns of lower standards after recent changes by Singapore's two biggest varsities, educators are confident that the quality of graduates will not suffer.
"It's a message to students that they can relax a little and enjoy learning," said Dr Timothy Chan from private institution SIM Global Education. "But there are still exams and assessment, and they need to do well in the next few years."

New Delhi: Two Indians are on board the Singaporean ship which was hijacked by Somali pirates in the Gulf of Aden on Thursday, official sources said here on Sunday.
Indian High Commissioner in Singapore T.C.A. Raghavan is in close touch with the Singapore government as well as the shipping company over the issue, the sources said.
They said that two Indians are among the crew members of the ship MV Kota Wajar, which was hijacked on Thursday.
The shipping company is also touch with the Singapore government and efforts are being made to secure the release of the ship along with the people on board, the sources said.
Earlier, confusion prevailed over whether there was any Indian on board the ship with media reports suggesting that there were four Indians.
The ship was seized by the pirates on October 15 in the Indian Ocean about 500 km north of the Seychelles island.
Abdulgani Y. Serang, general secretary, National Union of Seafarers of India, said in Mumbai that the crew members of the vessel were from countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Pakistan.
Dipika Pathania, wife of Raghuveer Singh, one of the Indians on board the ship, said the company had informed that the crew is safe.
"We don't want money. I just want my husband to be freed. The ship owners won't act until we put pressure. They don't care about the crew members," Ms. Pathania told CNN-IBN.
Saroj Dev Singh, brother of another Indian on board, said: "I spoke to the Singapore office in the morning. They told me that everyone is safe on the ship and it has reached Somalia. They said that they are trying to speak to the pirates." — PTI

HDR EFEX PRO 2 graphics corruption
Apr 17, 2013
Hi all, I just downloaded the nik software package, but I am having a problem with HDR EFEX.
After applying the filter in nik, when reopening in PS6, a solid black rectangle appears. Nik support tells me to disable the "use GPU' feature, but this does not help. The strange thing is that at viewing levels of below 32% and above 70%, the black shape is not visible.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions that have been found?
Many thanks,

Column: Balotelli not quite so funny anymore
Occasions when a coach acknowledges that a player was wrong and that a referee was right are sufficiently rare to be refreshing. That happened Saturday with Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy.
"I don't have any complaints about the sending off," McCarthy said after Karl Henry was shown the red card for kicking backward into the Marc Albrighton's chest when the Aston Villa midfielder was on the turf. "I'm not excusing him at all because he's back-heeled him."
More often, coaches see only what they want to see. Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp was quick to condemn Balotelli, even though he, too, cannot have known whether his stamp on Parker was deliberate.
"It's not a nice thing to do, really, is it?" said Redknapp. "It's got no place in football."
Intentional or not, Balotelli was lucky. Referee Howard Webb had already shown him a yellow card for an earlier foul and could quite easily have decided that trampling on Parker was sufficiently dangerous to warrant another, which would have sent him off. Webb, however, apparently didn't see the incident.
Balotelli could still face punishment. The English Football Association decided Monday to charge him with violent conduct, giving him until Wednesday evening to respond. Because Balotelli has already been sent off once this season, he could be banned for four matches instead of the usual three if found guilty, depriving City of his goals as it seeks to cement its lead of the Premier League.
But that would be too late to change Sunday's 3-2 scoreline. Balotelli, of course, scored the winner for City, a last-minute penalty he took with the unflappable cool of Clint Eastwood.
As is his wont, Balotelli didn't smile or celebrate, but instead stood rooted to the spot, arms out in the shape of a cross.
A lovable or mischievous rascal enjoying the last laugh.

I am STILL pregnant, due date was the 28th. I just wanted to see if anyone had an induction and still had a natrual labor? They want to induce me on Fri. if I still haven't had the baby, buit I would really like to try and do a natrual childbirth. Would love any advice/tips.Thanks
Induction and NCB
Comments (1)
Yes, this is my third child and it was my first experience being induced and first time going all natural. And honestly it was my best childbirth so far. I'm not going to lie it hurts like hell, but honestly it was manageable and I didn't even ask for a tylenol until the following day. It felt like I was more in control of my body and that I was more in tune with what I needed to do. I only had a minimal amount of pitocin though. I would recommend getting as little as possible and if you start contracting regularly have your doctor break your water and that should get things moving on their own. It was scary to go all natural but very empowering too. I felt excellent right after birth, I could walk around and use the bathroom with no problem right away. I went home after 24 hours and never needed a resting period. I just went back into the swing of things. I would highly recommend going natural, but only if your the type of person that can try to relax and focus through your pain. Good luck!

Since art, architecture, and community often meld together, it makes sense that Gensler chose to host the official launch party of a new endeavor called Generous Art, an online art gallery that envisions art purchases as community-oriented transactions. Conceived and brought to fruition by visual artist and entrepreneur Jennifer Chenoweth, Generous Art works like this: When a site visitor purchases art, the retail price is divided among the artist (40%), a nonprofit organization of the buyer's choosing (40%), and the gallery itself.
More than 20 Austin-area artists are currently on board, including Virginia Fleck, who creates colorful and intricate collages from plastic bags and other recycled materials; Stella Alesi, a realist painter focused on the life cycle of birds, lizards, plants, and other life forms; Wells Mason, a craftsman currently fascinated with blurring the line between sculpture and furniture; and Emily Moores, whose stark yet evocative charcoal-on-paper works resemble Japanese woodcuts. Beautiful stuff.
This thought has stayed with me all day: Art, beauty, and community—all intangible concepts worth nurturing, whenever and wherever we find it.
A few years ago, I had the good fortune to participate in one of Houston's first "Where the Chefs Eat†Culinary Tours, a collaboration between some of the city's most adventuresome chefs and the Houston Convention and Visitors Bureau—both groups who sought to elevate the city's reputation as a world-class food town. Instead of visiting some of Houston's many well-regarded "fine dining†spots, we explored a half-dozen or so casual and/or family-owned joints that the chefs frequent when they're not cooking in their own restaurants. We toured the kitchens, met the owners, traded recipes and stories, and generally had a blast—feasting on veritable banquets of barbecue, Thai entrees, Indian dishes, and interior Mexican specialties—with professional chefs to guide us in our exploration of new cuisines, ingredients, and preparations.
The only downside to the tours? They're so popular that they sell out quickly. So I was excited to receive the 2012 tour schedule and to learn that the three-year-old program has grown to encompass more tours, more chefs, and more restaurants. Another interesting element: Proceeds from the 2012 tours will benefit the new Foodways Texas organization (www.foodwaystexas.com ), which opens to public membership in 2012 and whose mission is to "preserve, promote, and celebrate the diverse food cultures of Texas.â€
Tickets for the first tour—January 22's "Chinese New Year with Chefs Chris Shepherd and Justin Yu†—go on sale December 1, followed by opportunities to join tours such as "Late night Bars and Bites with Chefs Seth Siegel-Gardener, Terrence Gallivan, and Bobby Heugel and Kevin Floyd,†"Oysters with Chefs Mark Holley and Jonathan Jones,†and many others. New additions for 2012 include farm tours, explorations of coffee and dessert, and a look-see at citywide Day of the Dead celebrations; popular "repeats†include explorations of barbecue, street food, Southern comfort food, and Vietnamese cuisine. See www.houstonculinarytours.com for a full run-down.
I'm learning to love wine. A few years ago, a friend organized a series of wine-tasting parties based on recommendations from Master Sommelier (and SMU graduate) Andrea Immer Robinson's book Great Wine Made Simple. As we progressed through the first chapters—learning to differentiate between light-bodied and full-bodied styles, identifying characteristics of "The Big Six Grapes†(Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot/Cabernet Sauvignon, and Shiraz), and building a vocabulary of "flavor words†like tannic and oaky—I began to think about how the pleasures of drinking wine encompasses not only taste, but also tradition, history, agriculture, geography, chemistry, geology, and travel. Robinson, now one of fewer than 20 women in the world who have been made Master Sommeliers by the Court of Master Sommeliers, makes the wine world approachable and fun. After all, her own education began while she was a college student in Dallas, when she took a wine-tasting class at The Grape, a popular restaurant on Greenville Avenue.
Last night, I had the opportunity to attend a wine-tasting event at Austin's Barr Mansion and Artisan Ballroom, a beautiful event site in northeast Austin that is the nation's only certified organic event facility. A two-story clapboard Victorian home anchors the site of a former farmstead, and past a series of native-plant gardens and sprawling oak trees (a Certified Wildlife Habitat), a modern, glass-and-cedar ballroom (recently rebuilt after being destroyed by fire last year) hosts events for up to 600 people.
This particular tasting, hosted by the Loire Valley Wine Bureau, offered opportunities to sample an array of delicious varietals from France's Loire Valley, which benefits from the temperature-moderating influence of the Atlantic Ocean. There are some 65 appellations (wine-growing regions) in the Loire Valley, and the primary grapes used include Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Sauvignon Blanc, and a grape called Melon de Bourgogne, which lends itself to crisp, dry whites.
Since one of my favorite varietals is Sauvignon Blanc—a grape used in Texas wines produced by Fall Creek Vineyards, Spicewood Vineyards, and other Texas producers—I was particularly interested in exploring the differences in style between French versions (often made in the Sancerre appellations) compare. This, I learned, is a classic "Old World/New World†comparison.
Seems to me that Texas Sauvignon Blancs, like their New World siblings from Australia and New Zealand, seem slightly effervescent and bright, while the French Sancerres seemed creamier, with an expressive floral nose and a still-spritely mouthfeel.
I enjoyed chatting with an aspiring sommelier named Justine Langston, who currently buys wine for the small wine-bar chain Crú and will be sitting for her Sommelier Certification exam in October. Langston told me that in Europe, wine-drinking is rarely intimidating, and is in fact transcends all classes of society. The days of snooty sommeliers in America is over, she assured me.
In a room filled with so many outstanding French wines—some from vineyards that date back hundreds of years—I couldn't help but wonder how the young Texas wine industry compares. One vendor told me that the difference wasn't necessarily a difference in quality, even as he acknowledged the challenges of growing certain varietals in Texas simply because it gets so dang hot here. So we grow the ones that DO perform well here, he said—much as vineyards do the world over. The difference, this fellow told me, is more a result of scale. Texan growers simply cannot produce as much wine as large vineyards in France, Italy, Chile, and Spain, for example—and so in general, a high-quality Texan wine costs more than a comparable bottle from more-established wine-producing regions. Any thoughts on this, wine folks out there?
I don't mind paying a few extra dollars to support a local industry. But I still like to experience how a style is made in other parts of the world—to compare, contrast, and become more knowledgeable. It's a fun endeavor, and one of the few educational paths where repeating a lesson is encouraged. Cheers.

Stevie Wonder may have stolen the show on the second night of ACL, but the glorious rain that came earlier in the day—which inspired smiles and celebration even as festival-goers got drenched—ushered in the most surprise. After all, it hadn't rained (significantly, anyway) in Austin since May. Temperatures modulated and energized the crowds. Fall is in the air!
Once again, the smooth operations of the festival impressed me. Even as the park teemed with people, the mood was easy and accommodating. Props to fest organizers C3, who continue to make improvements to the festival's operations and addressing concerns. This year, we found increased shade structures, additional free water stations (courtesy of CamelBak), and numerous opportunities to assist organizations such as The Nature Conservancy and statewide firefighting squads. It's always great to feel philanthropic while you're having fun.
Aside from the music, there's a lot going on at ACL. What other festival, for example, offers such a wide variety of dining options prepared by upscale restaurants? And I'm not talking about turkey legs and corn dogs. Local flavor rules here. ACL's food court, "curated†by Chef Jeff Blank of Hudson's on the Bend, offers options such as pork-belly sliders with pickled onion ($6 by Odd Duck Farm to Trailer), oyster tacos with chile-honey aioli ($8 from Garrido's), crispy artichoke hearts ($6 by Bess Bistro), steak frit sandwiches ($7 by Aquarelle), and truffled macaroni-and-cheese ($7 by Lonesome Dove Western Bistro out of Fort Worth. I'll admit I found it amusing to see bikini-and-boots-clad fans sprawled on the grass eating meals they might normally enjoy by candlelight in a restaurant.
When the rain subsided, I spent some time checking out the arts offerings. The variety here reminded me of a marriage of Austin's Cherrywood Art Fair, Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, and South Congress' First Friday funkiness. Drive-by-Press offered silkscreened T-shirts, Bolsa Bonita had an assortment of kitschy and ironic bags printed with hirsute Tom Selleck images, Rokoko's imaginative ceramics, dresses by SOLA, $25 straw cowboy hats by Texas Headgear, leather-and-metal cuffs by LeighElena jewelry, scarves by Pangea, and wood-mounted prints of Austin scenes by Austin Art Garage. Most vendors were local, though a few came from as far as Chicago. The owner of Souldier, who was here from the Windy City for her 5th year at ACL, tells me her recycled-seatbelt headbands, bags, and guitar straps sell well at ACL, and that bands such as My Morning Jacket, Iron and Wine, TV on the Radio, and Fleet Foxes all use her guitar straps on stage.
So the line blurs once again. Art and music. Bring on the fun.
Walking through the festival grounds at Zilker Park, especially after the sun started to dip and the crowds thickened in anticipation of Austin Music Festival headliners Kanye West and Coldplay, it was easy to imagine myself a mere ant in an army of 40,000 other beings. It was an instant reminder of my small place in humanity. For a moment I felt flustered by the crowd. Then bam—more music, a chance encounter with a friend, a sight that made me laugh—and the mood turned in an instant. As a friend put it, ACL is not the minors. What it is, at least to my mind, is an instant submersion into what makes Austin such a tight community.
As I gear up for Day Two of the bash, I'm reflecting on yesterday and how seamless ACL operations seemed to be. Early in the day, we experienced our first indication of the solidarity of Austin --that joyous moment when skies finally opened up and rained (a short burst, yes, but water all the same) while crowds throughout Zilker shouted in glee and surprise.
The burn ban is in effect this year, and several donation stations for statewide volunteer firefighters reminded us of the wildfire risk. Still, some dedicated smokers (of ciggies and wacky tabac alike) were lighting up—but amazingly, I spied not a single discarded cigarette butt. At least they're being responsible, which is the whole point of the ban. In a related note, festival organizers have made what I consider a brilliant business to keep the grounds litter-free: at several stations throughout the park, you can pick up a green trash bag, then meander the grounds picking up stray cans and other recyclables; when the bag is full, you can redeem it for an ACL T-shirt. Neat incentive that makes sense all around.
The festival's food options (more on that in other post) are well known for their diversity, quality, and local vibe—with renowned restaurants like Olivia and Hudson's creating rave-worthy noshes. But I'm also pleased to find the eclectic array of Austin shops and artisans selling their creations—again, reinforcing the sense of community. We'll explore that aspect in greater depth today and tomorrow.
On-the-fly conversations with festival-goers, performers, and even a police officer working the event further underscored the community theme. Chilean-American singer Francesca Valenzuela (a knockout with tremendous pipes and a solid pop sensibility) told me that one thing that's different about US audiences (and Texas crowds in particular) is that we're open and supportive of new musical experiences. And the cop with whom I chatted told me with a big grin that he loves the people-watching. He confessed that he was on board to escort Kanye West and his entourage to the stage later that night—but that he wasn't star-struck. After all, he'd heard Kanye was a prima donna. (Anyone care to dispute that?)
Biking to Zilker Park was a breeze. I hauled my bike on the back of my car to a spot near the Lady Bird Lake hike-and-bike trail, and popped over in a flash. Pedestrians and bikers on the trail were all smiles, hauling camp chairs, soft-sided coolers, umbrellas, and blankets to the site. "See you there!†we'd shout as we passed each other—strangers united by the promise of music, food, art, sweat, and celebration.
We're posting photos to our Facebook page and tweeting all day (as long as the WiFi holds out, anyway), so follow TH on FB and on Twitter.
See you there.
With triple-digit heat already here in Austin (and lingering), I'mm semi-obsessed with swimming pools, so I smiled when I spied the Texas-shaped pool at Amarillo's Big Texan Motel, the lodging companion to the famous Big Texan restaurant, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. (If you haven't heard of the Big Texan's free 72-ounce steak dinner, the mother of all big-food challenges, here's the skinny: You have to eat the whole thing, plus a slew of sides, in less than an hour.)
I don't think I could make a dent in that steak, but I sure can see myself doing a few laps from Amarillo to Brownsville.
Know of any other great hotel pools? Let's come up with a "Best-Of" list!
I recently made a quick trip to Houston to take care of some medical appointments, which got me thinking about the idea of "health travel,†or even the vague concept of "secondary travel.†For example, even if my main reason for visiting a city is to catch up with family, see a hotshot out-of-town specialist, or to attend a work conference or other event, I do try to squeeze in some recreation. In Houston, I try to visit a museum or gallery, a favorite shop, and a restaurant or bar I've been hearing about. This time, I joined up with two longtime Houston friends to check out El Real Tex-Mex Cafe, the new (yet old-school) Tex-Mex restaurant dreamed up by food writer/historian Robb Walsh and restaurateurs Bryan Caswell and Bill Floyd. I had heard raves about the cheese enchiladas with chili gravy—that classic Tex-Mex comfort-food concoction served with orange cheese, lard-laden (and I mean that in a good way) refried beans, and Spanish rice. Well-deserved raves! Tart margaritas and a salvaged décor from the shuttered El Fenix Restaurant completed the experience. I'll look forward to future visits once I can fit into my jeans again.
When I visit the Bayou City, I often stay with friends, but this time, I tried an experiment. I had heard about travel websites like www.lastminutetravel.com and www.hotwire.com, which offer unsold hotel rooms at steeply discounted prices, and I decided to give lastminutetravel a try. Here's how it works: You go to the site, pick your city and general area, plug in your dates, and the website finds available rooms. In my case, I found a "four-star hotel†in "downtown Houston†for $95. The site provides photos of the hotel, and a list of amenities, but you don't learn the name of the hotel until you've booked the room. (This makes sense to me: While the hotels want to sell their unsold rooms, they don't want to advertise that they're willing to drastically undercut their rack rates. And be aware that after you reserve the room, you can't cancel or change your reservation.) For my one-night stay, this worked beautifully: My hotel turned out to the Hyatt Regency, where rooms normally start around $180 per night. The hotel has a great rooftop pool, and its central location proved perfect for exploring on foot. When I returned to the office, I poked around these sites to see what other hotel deals I could find in Texas: I pretended to want to book a room four days out, and I turned up a "four-star†hotel in Galveston for $96 and a "three-star†hotel in downtown Fort Worth for $68.
Have you tried these sites for Texas travel? Care to share your experiences?
Upon its debut in 1965 as host to an exhibition game between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees, Houston's Astrodome—lauded by fans as the "Eighth Wonder in the Worldâ€â€"nabbed a spot in the record books as the world's first multi-purpose domed stadium (not to mention the birthplace of AstroTurf). Alas, the once-regal Dome now rests in the shadow of the much-larger Reliant Stadium at Reliant Park; the Astros left the Dome for Minute Maid Park more than a decade ago.
But city leaders are debating the Astrodome's future, and the options are numerous: Demolish it and install a green-space plaza? Keep the shell and convert it to a multi-use venue, perhaps with an attached hotel? Create a mega-venue with a planetarium and an institute devoted to engineering and mathematics? What do you think should happen with the Astrodome? We'd love to hear your thoughts and memories. (You can see the current options being considered, complete with artists' renditions of how redevelopment might look, at http://www.reliantpark.com/feedback.)
It would be poetic, I think, if I were to effuse that I've been fascinated with mobiles since I was an infant gazing at one dangling above my crib. But in reality, my introduction to mobiles came in grade school, thanks to a hippie art teacher who smelled of patchouli and patiently taught her ham-handed students how to make dancing (if lopsided) sculptures from twigs, painted acorns, and twine. I thought of her this morning when I read about the Nasher Sculpture Center's exhibition of the works of Alexander Calder (1898-1976), whose first kinetic sculptures were dubbed "mobiles†by colleague and friend Marcel Duchamp. (Interestingly, fellow experimental artist Jean Arp called Calder's stationary artworks "stabiles.â€)
The Nasher's show, Alexander Calder and Contemporary Art: Form, Balance, Joy, runs through March 6. Along with more than 30 of Calder's works, the exhibition also highlights seven contemporary artists who were influenced by Calder's creative reuse of materials, hands-on production methods, and explorations of form, balance, color, and movement.
I can't think of a more pleasant place to experience Calder's graceful sculptures. With its spare and light-filled interior galleries and al fresco sculpture garden filled with beautiful and thought-provoking installations, the Nasher makes artworks accessible and relevant to life's experiences. So I know that when I next make it to Dallas, and when I walk amongst the mobiles as they rotate on gossamer threads, I'll be back in art class, surrounded by classmates with braces and awkward hairdos, assembling sculptures from garden flotsam. The weight of one acorn could throw the whole thing off-balance. Alter one variable, and the whole project shifts. Could I have known back then that a mobile could be a metaphor for life itself? For more on the Nasher, see www.nashersculpturecenter.org.
I'm not really a football fan. Those are fighting words, I realize, in some parts of Texas, where pigskin rivalries divide families, coworkers, and even strangers in line at the grocery store. I do look forward to the Super Bowl every year (so I've marked my calendar for this year's 45th anniversary game up in Arlington on February 6), but that's mostly because it's my annual excuse to eat lots of Velveeta-and-Rotel queso.
So for those who know me well, it's always a surprise that I adore the television show Friday Night Lights, that sleeper quasi-hit show that won raves from the critics but never really took off with television audiences. My non-expert opinion is that it suffers an identity crisis: Most people think of it as a sports drama, whereas truly it's a story about relationships, and it's perhaps one of the of the most authentic depictions of small-town Texas since Larry McMurtry's The Last Picture Show.
It doesn't hurt that the show is set in Austin and surrounding areas. There's the Continental Club! Fran's Hamburgers! The Landing Strip of all places! That megalachurch near my house! It's fun to try to figure out where each shot was filmed.
Location-spotting: This, along with the curious charms of actor Bradley Whitford (you know, the guy who played Josh Lyman on The West Wing, and Danny Tripp on the rollicking Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip) is what drew me to the new Fox buddy-police-comedy The Good Guys, which is set in Dallas and filmed in Dallas. The plots are gossamer-thin, but Whitford plays a pratfalling rogue Texas cop with gum-smacking panache (with Tom Hanks' son Colin as the straight-guy sidekick). Never mind; the true star of the show is Dallas—sleek office buildings and tony downtown restaurants, Fair Park in all its Art-Deco glory, rough-around-the-edges barbecue joints along Riverside (formerly Industrial)…. I wonder if Dallasites have the same fun trying to identify filming locations for The Good Guys as I do for Friday Night Lights.
A few years ago, as I swam laps at the YMCA in Austin, I came up for air to find a sickly beagle circling the pool, watching me. Somehow he had wriggled between a break in the fence and—I like to think—decided I'd make a fine new owner. First, though, I had to nurse him back to health, and for that, I have Animal Trustees of Austin (ATA) to thank.
Along with other symptoms of neglect, my rescued beagle—whom my husband and I named Oscar—had an advanced case of heartworm disease, a dangerous disease that left untreated, leads to death. Treatment is expensive and grueling, but since I eventually adopted Oscar through a rescue organization called Austin Hound Rescue, I was able to take advantage of the mightily reduced treatment cost offered by ATA.
So I'm pleased to hear that "Celebrating Paws,†a new program offered by Lake Austin Spa Resort, not only benefits spa visitors who bring their canine friends but also donates 100% of pet guest fees collected throughout 2011 to ATA.
As part of the program, animal behaviorist Dr. Patricia McConnell will speak about the documented health benefits of pet ownership—including lower blood pressure and reduced stress levels—during spa stays February 2-6 and November 2-11, 2011.
McConnell's topics will include "The Power of Pets: What Science Has to Tell Us about Our Love for Animals,†"Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? What's Really Going on in a Dog's Brain,†and "The Other End of the Leash: Understanding How to Communicate with Your Best Friend.â€
Other pet experts participating in the program include dog trainer Cara Shannon, who will lead classes in manners training and etiquette and author Susannah Charleson and her dog Puzzle (both members of the Metro Area K9 Rescue in Dallas), as well as canine photographers, massage therapists, and professional dog-walkers.
I'll be honest: Oscar wouldn't stand for one moment for a pedicure, but a massage is another matter.
For details about canine programs at Lake Austin Spa Resort, call 800/847-5637; www.lakeaustin.com.
And now I'm curious: what's the most indulgent thing you've ever done for your dog?

text: TUALATIN – You know what you're getting in Duke center Mason Plumlee: an active athletic big man that isn't afraid to get down and do the dirty work. On any given night, he has one of those "wow" moments that gets fans out of their seats. He is proven, having played four years in the ACC Conference on some of the biggest stages in collegiate basketball. Every year he has gotten better. On offense and defense, his game has matured to the point where he posted numbers of 17.1 points, 10.0 rebounds, 2.0 assists, and 1.4 blocks in 34.7 minutes per game during his senior campaign.

Israel should accept the decision if the UN recognizes a Palestinian state, about 70 percent of Israelis answered in a recent Hebrew University poll.The poll, which was conducted jointly by the Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah, also found that over 80% of the Palestinians support turning to the UN to obtain recognition of a Palestinian state. The survey was supported by the Ford Foundation Cairo office and the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Ramallah and Jerusalem.RELATED:Palestinians take to streets ahead of UN statehood bidBustling ambassador to UN warns of impending UN voteAs well as exploring Israeli and Palestinian attitudes to the Palestinian bid to the UN to obtain recognition as an independent state, the poll looked at other topical domestic issues within each population.In response to questions about the Palestinian appeal at the UN, 83% of the Palestinians surveyed supported the move to obtain recognition for their state. Majorities on both sides, 77% of the Palestinians and 79% of the Israelis, believed that the US would use its veto power in the UN Security Council to prevent the UN from admitting the state of "Palestine" as a UN member.In the face of UN recognition of a Palestinian state, 69% of Israelis thought that Israel should accept the decision and either start negotiations with the Palestinians about its implementation (34%) or not allow any change on the ground by the Palestinians (35%); 16% said Israel should oppose the decision and intensify the construction in the settlements; 7% think that Israel should annex the PA territory to Israel; and 4% think Israel should invade the PA territories and use force to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state.Faced with the same scenario, Palestinian participants of the survey said how they thought Israel might be made to withdraw from PA territory: 26% supported a return to armed attacks on army and settlers; 37% thought nonviolent resistance could be successful; and 30% supported negotiations with Israel. Fiftyfour percent of Palestinians in the West Bank said they would join large peaceful demonstrations in the West Bank and Jerusalem if they were to take place after the recognition of a Palestinian state.Regarding the recent social protests in Israel, 44% of Israelis would favor the protest movement becoming a political party. If such a party participated in the next election, 27% of the Israelis said that they would vote for it. Two thirds of Palestinians thought that the rising cost of living and their inability to provide a better future for themselves and their families could push them to demonstrate as well.The Palestinian sample size comprised 1,200 adults interviewed face-to-face in the West Bank, east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip in 120 randomly selected locations between September 15 and 17. The margin of error was 3 percentage points. The Israeli sample was made up of 605 adults interviewed by phone between September 11 and 14. The margin of error was 4 percentage points.

NoFTY Reunion
For those who were in NoFTY in the '60s and '70s
September 16-18, 2016at URJ Olin-Sang-Ruby Union Institute
Now they call it NFTY/NO, but we remember it as the Northern Federation of Temple Youth.
If you were there in the 1960s and 1970s, join us for a trip down memory lane. Celebrate Shabbat and rediscover OSRUI. In addition, we'll have passionate discussions, beautiful services, an evening performance by talented NoFTY alums and a weekend of great memories and friends.Tuition includes lodging, meals, and all programming.
Accommodations will be provided in the Lodge and Nerenberg Family Center. The Lodge features double rooms (two twin beds) with private or adjoining bath. Housing is also available in the Nerenberg Family Center, which offers double rooms (also two twin beds) with common washrooms at the end of the hall, separate for men and women. In 2014, the early-bird fees were $240 for Lodge or $195 for Nerenberg which included housing (in double rooms), meals, and program costs. Limited single rooms were available for an additional $75. The dates and fees for 2017 have not been set.
Van Service to Camp We recommend GO Riteway which offers van service to the camp at a discounted rate from the Milwaukee Airport (Mitchell Field).
For additional information, please contact Barbara Gordon at 847-239-6984 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Registration will tentatively open summer 2016. Sign up before July 1 and get the Early Bird Discount price. All prices go up $40 after July 1, 2016.

Possibly is a mess but i just want you opinion, i came a cross this plugin which was used at the give away new theme on nettuts, and was using this nice slider, roundabout, where some effects from easing plugin were used as well, i was just experimenting around and i included also parallax plugin and i came up with this thing, let me know what do you think!
Please note: this is a new theme i`m working on so will be nice if you tell me any other recommendation as well
Hi Katro,
Good job, it looks nice, but I'm not sure how useful it would be for Web Designers/Developers because it seems to take up a lot of resources to run, and subsequently slows down the website quite a bit, increasing the probability of users bouncing.
I love the idea though, keep up the good work!
Yea, that slider is pretty cool. I'm actually using it on one of my upcoming themes too.
Nice what you've done with it.
It's cool, but it was a little difficult figuring out how to control it.
It adds to the cool factor, but the usability isn't great, doesn't work in IE7 or below and is a mess if JavaScript is turned off.
This is just me, but i would avoid it.
The Aurelius theme given away on nettuts was actually mine =) Glad it's inspired some of you to get creative with the slider.
Anyways as for you're experiment, I like where you're going, but I think the image are tilted too much, some of them I find I get too distracted by the background because it's bigger than the picture itself.
The Aurelius theme given away on nettuts was actually mine =) Glad it's inspired some of you to get creative with the slider.
humble much?...
@katro It has a slight "neat-o" factor… yet it seems rather slow and once the design starts interfering with the UI/UX… then you no longer have a website, you have a jittery piece of art…
not saying you can't still hammer it out though…
Looks real cool! I like it!
@QwibbleDesigns that's the best practical implementation of the roundabout hat I have seen since I saw the plugin.
I like the idea for this, but I think you're safer sticking to what the free template had because that was so much easier to use. Any more than 3 items can look odd.
I hope you do carry on with this theme though because I'm getting bored of the cookie cutter sliders that we're seeing, it's time for some innovation.
In my opinion, the best sliders are the roundabout – if properly used, and the one used on the Innovation theme – I really love that slider it's awesome.
