New Cocktails Inspired by Gulf Oil Spill Disaster
When they wash ashore, tar balls are tragic proof of the oil spill ravaging the Gulf of Mexico. They're also the bittersweet inspiration for one of Anvil Bar & Refuge's latest drinks. This Tar Ball cocktail was created by Bobby Heugel, the co-owner of the Houston bar. Heugel concocted the cocktail in response to a request made to local bartenders by The Houston Chronicle. It's made with Cruzan Black Strap rum, Del Maguey Cichicapa Mezcal, Taylor's Velvet Falernum and Angostura bitters.
Tar Ball Cocktail: New Drinks Inspired by Gulf Oil Spill
Anthony Montz, the mixologist of the Hearsay Gastro Lounge in Houston, knows that when black truffle mousse-stuffed olives are dropped in ice-cold vodka, the oil in the olives bubbles to the top in a fashion not unlike the bubbling above the busted BP oil well. "It looks just like the footage BP shows," Montz said. Montz uses Double Cross Vodka for this spill-inspired drink, dubbed "The Slick," which he created in response to a request by The Houston Chronicle. Montz hopes that when oil industry engineers and seafood fishermen drop by the bar for a drink, seeing "The Slick" on the menu will provoke "healthy debate." Double Cross CEO Malcolm Lloyd thinks the drink will resonate beyond Hearsay. "It plays on what is certainly a relevant topic for Houston and the rest of the country," he said.

"Slick of This" Cocktail
Sick of the oil spill and need a drink? You might want to consider the Branch Water Tavern's "Slick of This" cocktail. Evan Turner, a managing partner and the beverage director for the Houston bar, created the drink in response to a request made to local bartenders by The Houston Chronicle. It's made with Citadelle Gin, Campari, Crism Organic Hibiscus Liquer and lime juice. The drink, Turner said, is refreshing, "but there's a slight edge of bitterness to it, which is apropos."

"Have smelly co-workers that sleep in too much? Give them the gift of Shower Shock." That's the pitch for Shower Shock, a bath soap that contains 2,400 milligrams of caffeine. The soap's makers say that since caffeine can be absorbed through the skin, the soap can give you the "ultimate clean buzz." A bar of Shower Shock sells for $6.99 at ThinkGeek.com.

Vice President Joe Biden's obscene slip of the tongue in describing the passage of the landmark health care bill has been deemed T-shirt worthy by BarackObama.com, the Web site for Organizing for America, the group born out of Obama's presidential campaign. The site's store section now includes a T-shirt that reads "Health Reform is a BFD," for 'big f**king deal." The site says shipments of the $25 shirts could take six to eight weeks because of "high demand."

On a cached Web site for Baby Beer Bottles, the company refers to the $19.99 products as gag gifts.

The sales pitch for Handerpants -- which looks like fingerless gloves made in the same design of traditional men's briefs -- is more than a little tongue-in-cheek: "Talk about sexy. You'll have to hold the ladies back after they get a glimpse of these tighty-whities." But the Handerpants Web site and infomercial also list specific uses for the $11.95 product, including as a liner for gloves that might prevent chafing.

Advertised as the "first improvement to toilet paper as we know it since the 1880s," the $19.99 Comfort Wipe is supposed to provide a sanitary alternative to handling toilet paper.

Those with physical or mobility limitations are among the product's target consumers.

The makers of the Big Daddy Driver actually want you to laugh at their product. It is, after all, a combination golf club and weed whacker. The inspiration for the $49.95 club came after one of its creators found his golf ball buried in Bermuda grass. The situation, according to the Web site, prompted his golfing buddy -- and future co-creator -- to joke, "You'll need a weed whacker for that."

Racism Plays a Big Part in our Politics. Period.
If you haven't read it, Ta-Nehisi Coates has a fantastic essay on Barack Obama's relationship to race and racism in the latest issue of The Atlantic. There's too much to quote, but this paragraph captures the thesis:
In a democracy, so the saying goes, the people get the government they deserve. Part of Obama's genius is a remarkable ability to soothe race consciousness among whites. Any black person who's worked in the professional world is well acquainted with this trick. But never has it been practiced at such a high level, and never have its limits been so obviously exposed. This need to talk in dulcet tones, to never be angry regardless of the offense, bespeaks a strange and compromised integration indeed, revealing a country so infantile that it can countenance white acceptance of blacks only when they meet an Al Roker standard.
The power and symbolism of Obama's election is compromised by the extent to which his presidency has been shaped by white expectations and white racism. Obama can't show anger, he can't propose policies tailored to African Americans and he can't talk about race. In other words, he can't remind white Americans that their president is a black man as much as anything else.
At the risk of sounding cynical, I expect that Coates will inspire howls of unfairness from the right. It's almost forbidden to discuss the role racism has played in shaping opposition to Obama. Conservatives dismiss such concerns as "playing the race card"—and use it as an opportunity to accuse liberals of racism—while more neutral commentators note that Bill Clinton also faced a rabid conservative opposition. But as Coates points out, no one called Clinton a "food stamp president" or attacked his health care plan as "reparations." Local lawmakers didn't circulate racist jokes about the former Arkansas governor, and right-wing provocateurs didn't accuse Clinton of fomenting an anti-white race war.
Of course, race isn't the reason conservatives oppose Obama, but it shapes the nature of their opposition. The right wing would have exploded against Hillary Clinton as well. But they wouldn't have waged a three-year campaign to discredit her citizenship.
With that said, I'm honestly amazed that—for many people—it's beyond the pale to accuse a political party of exploiting racism for political gain. We're only 47 years removed from the official end of Jim Crow and the routine assassination of black political leaders. This year's college graduates are the children of men and women who remember—or experienced—the race riots of the late 1960s and 70s. The baby boomers—including the large majority of our lawmakers—were children when Emmett Till was murdered, teenagers when George Wallace promised to defend segregation in perpetuity, and adults when Martin Luther King Jr. was killed for his belief in the humanity of black people.
Five and a half million Americans are 85 or older. In the years they were born—assuming the oldest is 110 (several thousand Americans fit that bill)—1,413 African Americans were lynched. And that's a rough estimate; the number is almost certainly higher. For nearly a third of our country's history, this was a common occurence:
Interracial marriage was illegal in large swaths of the country when Barack Obama Sr. married Ann Dunham.
Mitt Romney was 31 when the Church of Latter Day Saints allowed African American priests, and repudiated early leader Brigham Young's pronouncement that "The Lord had cursed Cain's seed with blackness and prohibited them the Priesthood."
Nancy Pelosi grew up in segregated Baltimore.
Mitch McConnell was sixteen when his high school admitted its first black students.
Of course there are politicians and political parties that capitalize on racism. Why wouldn't they? The end of our state-sanctioned racial caste system is a recent event in our history; more recent than Medicare or Medicaid, more recent than the advent of computers, more recent than the interstate highway system, and more recent than Social Security. Taken in the broad terms of a nation's life, we're only a few weeks removed from the widespread acceptance of white supremacy.
Race remains a potent way to activate voters and motivate them to the polls—see Mitt Romney's current campaign against Obama's fictional attack on welfare. To believe otherwise—and to see this country as a place that's moved past its history—is absurd.

Great post, Jamelle. I appreciate that you're ignoring the desperate attempts by the radical right to silence lefties on issues of race and on the racist attacks on our President. I've done the same with our page "Not Racist?" over at All Things Democrat, though the deniers still complain of racism or evade the issue. It seems incredible to me that when faced with the racist imagery and statements made by their fellow conservatives, no one steps forward to condemn it. They pass on the opportunity to attract more independents in a close presidential race and choose to deny and evade the issue. Its as inexplicable as the Republican war on women and anti-immigrant laws in Arizona and the deep south. Without women and minorities, they'll have to rely on cheating, through voter suppression, intimidation, and election fraud. But I compare the GOP's old white men's club like the final years of Apartheid in South Africa; it can only last so long.

"Race remains a potent way to activate voters and motivate them to the polls"
That cuts both ways and is the basis for most of the conservative distaste for statements that equate objections to Obama's policies with segregation or pictures of lynchings. Make people fear that Romney will persecute blacks, latinos, and women and maybe they'll vote for President Obama despite their very rational misgivings over his failure to do anything about the truly frightening national debt.
It wasn't long ago that the Democratic party was the party of slavery and jim crow. Coates even mentions Senator Byrd, who had been a dyed-in-the-wool Klansman, yet he characterizes Byrd as a man who atoned for his sins by promoting liberal causes for years. The man filibustered the civil rights act in '64 if I'm not mistaken. He should have atoned by publicly apologizing on a daily basis. Things like that make it a bit tough to swallow the claim that race isn't used, or ignored, just as cynically by the left as by the right. And didn't it give you the willies, just a little bit, when Herman Cain was taken down by accusations of being a sexual predator, and finally of stalking a white woman? I have no idea as to Cain's guilt or innocence, but do you think there would have been such a deafening silence about the use of such a familiar race-baiting gambit had Cain been a liberal Democrat? I'm just suggesting that you consider for a moment that branding the GOP as a racist entity does not hold water as political analysis, though it's very effective for political fundraising.

I have a dream that someday all men will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. FEW people judge men by the color of their skin, yes that includes Conservatives and Republicans, but they DO by the content of their character. It is up to the parents today to teach their kids the lessons necessary for their children to have the character worthy of everyones respect.

Racism has been very prominent since Obama started to run though many of his speeches and actions tried to illustrate otherwise. The racism is not only in the Republican and/or the "independents" but with most Democrats--esp those from the Midwestern states. The Tea Party groups as exceptionally so and this has been obvious from the beginning. They are mostly folks that didn't vote but also didn't expect Obama to succeed. Then when he continued Bush's TARP and other bank and financial programs to try to keep the financial part of our economy going, they were up in arms. The news outlets, esp FOX NEWS, made hay with these actions and the supposed reduction or removal of Social Security and/or Medicare. Neither were in the actions but Fox said so along with their statements regarding "Death Panels" once the health bill was being hammered out. Those committees were a suggestion of the Republicans despite the fact they voted it down later. All these items were racially tainted since not only would whites get assistance from the government but also minorities and the poor. Neither of these groups were good enough in the eyes of most Tea Partiers or Republicans. They also had no time to gather in these groups and get all excited about "what if" situations that never happened but they seemed to think they would or FOX NEWS mentioned their "possibility." Most Tea Partiers are from small white towns and very few of them have had any close relationships as friends or neighbors with people of color from anywhere, esp. not black Americans nor the very poor that huddle in bigger cities and supposedly are there of their own desires and laziness. The lynching shown and most others that took place were outside small towns and though a good percentage of them were in the South or Texas, a few were in the North--esp. Indiana. Racism may not be as prevalent as it used to be but it is there hidden and denied but still present. A form of racism will always be but it is not just that of white on black or white on color but black on white or on other blacks of various shades and ethnicity with varying shades of skin color mixed with religion and/or nationality. But we can all work more at lessening our prejudices and not judge others we don't know just because they appear different that each of us do. But then money is also a factor but not in the Tea Partiers as much as the rich vs middle class vs poor. That too covers all colors.

So what do you call it when blacks won't vote for the most qualified person because he/she is white. I know, black racism. As a percentage of the relevant population there is, I would venture, a larger percentage of blacks who hate whites than whites who hate blacks. That's probably also true about blacks and gays compared to whites and gays.
On a more serious note - thank God those pre 80s racist days are rapidly coming to an end, thanks in large part to a concerted effort and sacrifice by a vast majority of the white population. Fortunately JB is wrong his fabricated white racism no longer motivates the base; neither the Dems nor the GOP.
JB shuldn't waste his time writing, he could spend his time equally well urinating in a river.

So what do you call it when blacks won't vote for the most qualified person because he/she is white. I know, black racism.
Its called a "straw man". Its something you've dreamed up in your racist little mind. You'll never find a quote by a black person saying they didn't vote for a qualified person because he/she is white, but it must be true because you believe it, right?
Racism was on its way out before the Tea Party and the revival of the radical right. Now there are Republican governors and legislators passing bills to suppress the vote in areas with minority populations. In Michigan, the governor's new emergency powers were used to take over Benton Harbor, 92% black, under the guise of helping them. But then the governor seized most of the Jean Klock park, which was deeded to the city on the condition that it remain a park forever to provide a place for black families to enjoy themselves, only to be leased to private developers to build a golf course. They also closed 4 schools in Benton Harbor, because who on the right cares about the student-to-teacher ratio in poor black areas? And then you have someone like Paul Ryan who plans to cut support of programs that affect poor minorities while giving more tax breaks to the rich. And then there are those on the right who just can't help being openly racist, like these fools. Yes, thank God racism is coming to an end.
I don't know how "brilliant" it is to note the obvious.
I think the bigger question is why Obama sought to reach out to African-Americans via Al Sharpton, whom he pointedly embraced about a year ago, leading to Sharpton being offered a spot on MSNBC, with the coda that he would never critcize the Obama. An odd move for a man who has gone out of his way to not offend Caucasian sensibilities, that Sharpton is one of the people who offends Caucasian sensibilities most. Stranger still that the right has not seemed to take notice, given that it's fertile ground for Obama bashing.
That race is a component of everything that happens in America and there remains a refusal empower or even acknowledge that African-Americans have a right to any power in America, in any substantial way goes way, beyond Obama. Dinkins was roundly rejectected by New Yorkers, for the racist, Republican Giuliani, who participated in a racist police rant prior to his election, during which that African-american police chief and Dinkins were called N*ggers, in the most liberal city in America. There hasn't been an African-American with a chance to be mayor since. Obama's ascension is a fluke, not soon to be repeated, not matter how inoffensive the next African-American man or women.

Regarding the race issue, the dinosaur in the American political living room, I'm leaving South Carolina in October for Puerto Rico. We moved to SC in 2009 in the hopes of educating about multiculturalism. When I proudly told neighbors I was here to fight against racism, my days were counted. After threats with a ring of fire surrounding our property and that our pets would be killed--the confederate neighborhood saw my Puerto Rican husband and me, an Irish-Ukranian mix, as an interracial couple--we decided to move to a more diverse state.
A friend down here can remember when her uncles feared walking through the neighborhood, since the likelihood of them being arrested for loitering was so high, and loitering could ultimately be punished with lynching.
Although I try to not use the word because I don't believe in its concept, race relations, as well as gender, sexual orientation, religious, etc., have been corroding since the George W. Bush era, and IMO, will only worsen as the economic and political conditions continue to deteriorate.

You can board the train at the Corozal station early in the morning and enjoy a trip through the jungle and past tourist sites. The train passes nearby the Miraflores and Pedro Miguel Locks and the Summit golf course before crossing the bridge over the Chagres River by the town of Gamboa, the division of the Panama Canal dredging. The tracks flank Lake Gatún several times, affording a glimpse at the huge ships sailing by, and then border the canal expansion work being done on the Atlantic coast before arriving at the city of Colón.
To extend your trip, you can arrange for a car to pick you up on the Atlantic coast and drive to the Gatún Locks to watch the canal operations. Afterwards, pass by the Americans' former Fort Sherman and onto the historic Fort San Lorenzo, which stands watch over the mouth of the Chagres River, the starting point of the Camino de Cruces path. If you still have time, visit historic Portobelo.
An interesting piece of trivia is that in 1913 the inter-oceanic railroad transported 2,916,657 passengers and 2,026,852 tons of freight across the Isthmus, which was reported to be the heaviest traffic per mile of any railway in the world.

Join campaigner Rolf Skar on a walk through Muir Woods and a tour of Greenpeace's Forest Campaign. With your help, our goal of zero deforestation worldwide is within reach.
Video details
Home to around two-thirds of all plant and animal species found on land — in addition to the millions of people who depend on them for survival — our remaining ancient forests are some of our most diverse ecosystems. They are also vitally important to the health of our planet, especially when it comes to regulating the climate.
With so many of the world's forests already destroyed, we urgently need to protect what is left. Yet industry is still relentlessly converting forests into disposable products that end up in our shopping baskets - while pushing species to the brink of extinction, destroying the lives and livelihoods of forest communities and exacerbating global climate change. We need your help to protect what forests remain.
Around the world, forests are being logged for timber and paper pulp and cleared to grow mono-crops like soy and palm oil while also deteriorating from impacts of global warming. Deforestation is a major driver of global warming, responsible for up to 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions–more than all the cars, trucks, planes, boats and trains in the world combined.
Learn more about our motivation.
Solutions to deforestation exist. We're campaigning for zero deforestation globally by 2020.

In 2006, thousands of new electric cars were purposely destroyed by the same car companies that built them. Today, less than 5 years later, the electric car is back with a vengeance. In "Revenge of the Electric Car," director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to chronicle the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is America's future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever.

Farm Fresh Pics – We have two winners!
We're very pleased to announce the winners of the Farm Fresh Pics contest. The Grand Prize Winner is Linda B. from Erie, Colorado. Her "Willie Doll at the San Francisco Farmer's Market" photo received 2,420 votes, meaning she'll enjoy a trip to St. Louis and front row tickets for Farm Aid 2009 Presented by Horizon Organic!
It was a tough job, but our Farm Fresh Pics judges, including Willie Nelson, Jason Mraz, Elaine Irwin Mellencamp, photographer Paul Natkin and Farm Aid Executive Director Carolyn Mugar picked "Generations of Life and Land" as the photo that best celebrates America's family farms in our judged category. Winner Bob F. of St. Bonifacious, Minnesota will receive an installation and a year of DIRECTV service (the perfect way to enjoy upcoming Farm Aid specials on DIRECTV).
Our top seven honorable mention photographers each received a fabulous VIP gift bag and hundreds of others won prizes including Farm Aid bumper stickers, concert T-shirts, and more.
We were blown away by the stunning photos entered in the contest and the passion supporters expressed for America's tradition of family farmers. Please take a few moments to browse through all the wonderful entries at the Farm Fresh Pics site.
And thanks again to everyone who submitted photos and voted for their favorites — your support will help us continue to stand up for family farmers all year long.

We were sadden to see that the USA picture did not win 1st place. This farmer planted this field right after 9/11 and has kept it up for all of us to enjoy since then. Congrats to the computer savvy winner who was able to take first place in the last 17 seconds of the contest. Thank you to all the people who voted and donated for the USA picture and farmaid.ReplyDelete
We want to give a big thanks to everyone who voted for "Heavy Load." It was fun raising money for a good cause! Just want to say that my husband and I were in awe of the USA picture. If we weren't going to take first, we were hoping they would! Incredible picture, period.ReplyDelete

Willie is cute. Lovely photo of the older and younger generation looking over the FARM. We need to keep supporting our Family Farmers.ReplyDelete
Any new developments in the dairy price crisis?
Thanks to Farm Aid for engaging Secretary Vilsak-Petitioning and speaking with him. Please keep it up.

Thank you for your nice comment on the USA picture. I am going to pass that on to the farmer, I know they will appreciate it.. We have found out that a picture of the USA field is hanging in a military airport in Iraq for all soldiers to see as they come and go. Farmers do alot to support this country in many ways.
Thanks to Farm Aid for the fun contest.ReplyDelete
There were so many great pictures. I don't know how the committee ever selected just one. The pictures are all so beautiful. I loved the USA picture today, and the teacher-turned-farmer picture, too. I was proud to be in 3rd place behind those photos.
Thanks to everyone who voted, and to my friend who voted in the last minute of the contest and put me over the limit. I don't know how computer-savy Alice is, but she is a generous person, a Willie Nelson fan and a big supporter of Farm Aid and Farmers, and a humanitarian in general. She was at the hospital with her ill brother, and voted on her i-phone just before midnight. I was in third place most of the time, until her generous donation made that picture the winner. She surprised me!
Almost 700 pictures entered! Thanks to all the photographers and everyone. The pictures are wonderful. They would make a beautiful coffee table book.
The contest was very interesting in that it revealed a very interesting cross section of America. Even more interesting was to see what images the contributors sent in revealing what was important to them about America. Those perspectives talk not only about what is beautiful in America, but what is important about America. That viewpoint varies greatly depending where you are from and also what your cultral values are, and what is really important to that person about America, for them and their families.ReplyDelete
Yes indeed, a nice coffee table book with photos and text about what is importand and beautiful about America. A good healthy contest with social importance. Nice idea folks.

When Air Force Maj. Justin Upp recently loaded a critically wounded patient into an airplane at Bagram Air Field, a familiar face gave him the OK to fly.
Upp and his friend from Niceville High School, Air Force Maj. Daniel Cox, both doctors, served together on their first deployments to Afghanistan.
They both returned home last month.
"It's a small world," said Cox who graduated in 1997. Upp graduated in 1999. "It was kind of crazy to be working like that halfway around the world with someone you went to high school with ... It's always nice to have a familiar face, someone that knows you."
Click here to see a gallery of photos of Majors Cox and Upp on deployment.
Both men served on critical care air transport teams, transferring patients from Bagram to a hospital in Germany or from Germany back to the United States.
Cox also served as trauma czar at the hospital at Bagram, overseeing care for critically wounded patients to stabilize them enough for flight out of the war zone. Upp was on one of the teams that flew the patients out.
The goal was to have patients back to the United States within 48 to 72 hours of their injuries, Cox said.
Most of the injuries the doctors saw were from improvised explosive devices. Some were from vehicle rollovers.
Toward the end of 2012 and the beginning of this year, Upp said they started to see special operations troops suffering from more close-range gunshots, often from so-called green-on-blue attacks when Afghan soldiers turned on their coalition counterparts.
Both men said they were honored to have been able to care for wounded service members.
"This was my dream job. It's what I spent the last 11 years training to do, to do that mission. I wanted to get down there as soon as I could," said Cox, 34, who was assigned to the 455th Expeditionary Medical Group/Task Force Medical East, while deployed.
"It was great to be able to take care of those guys who were out there fighting the fight and stabilize them and make sure we could get them home to their families."
Upp, who is 32, agreed that the work was rewarding. He is assigned to the 779th Medical Dental Group surgical operations squadron.
"I love taking care of wounded warriors and feeling a sense of belonging to a mission," he said. "Whether you agree or disagree with the mission of our military, there are Americans that are injured that deserve the best possible care."
Cox trained as a trauma surgeon and said there wasn't much he hadn't experienced before going to Afghanistan, but he did see a lot of guys coming in as double or triple amputees from IED blasts, something that is not common in the civilian world.
The military is prepared for those types of injuries, though, he said.
"We've seen it so much in this last decade we are all pretty trained up on it," Cox said. "We're seeing guys suffer these wounds that a generation ago wouldn't have survived. But the system is so advanced now over this decade of war that we are able to get these guys to surgical care in such a rapid fashion, they are not having life-threatening bleeding."
Part of that system is the critical care air transport teams.
While Cox was working in the trauma center at Bagram, Upp, an anesthesiologist, was the leader of a three-person team charged with transporting the patients from Bagram to a hospital in Germany.
It's challenging work.
The team must anticipate the worst possible scenario that could arise on the nine-hour flights and grab whatever supplies they might need to provide care in the loud darkness of the back of a moving airplane.
"What's in your brain and what's in your bags is all you have to go on," Upp said.
He said at first it was intense dealing with such fresh injuries and more unstable patients than he was used to. Before deploying, he had been working with wounded warriors who were on the mend at Walter Reed medical center in the United States.
He said he had to remember to keep his mind on the task at hand.
"I have the ability not to think about it too much, to focus on: Am I providing the best possible care?" he said. "You have to get the job done while you are in it."
He could not think about the more humanistic side — looking at the 19-year-old amputee and picturing if it were him, or one of his own children.
"After the mission, that's when you would deal with that," he said.
The most difficult transports were people who had suffered devastating head injuries and catastrophic neurological damage, people who probably weren't going to recover.
They would transport them to Germany to be reunited with their families before they passed away.
A couple times the families were already there when he arrived in the plane.
"That was difficult, to see them," he said.
He enjoys military medicine, though, in comparison to the civilian world where money can play a big part in care.
"That's less of a pressure," he said. "Yes, we have sequestration and budget cuts, but on the whole decisions don't get made for what's going to make us the most money but what's good for the patients. That's been refreshing."
For the most part, people in the military have a very service-before-self outlook, which is also inspiring, he said.
Cox is now stationed in Cincinnati with his wife and children and is working at a military program at an academic trauma center there.
Upp is stationed at Andrews Air Force Base, where he lives with his wife and three kids.
Both men's parents live in Niceville.

Description of Research ExpertiseResearch Interests
CD28 family of receptors, adoptive T cell therapy, lentiviral vectors for cell engineering.
Key words: T cell activation, Tumor Specific T cells, HIV specific T cells, expression profiles.
Research Summary
Research in the Riley laboratory focuses on the cell biology of and therapeutic use of primary human T cells. One major project studies the signaling pathways initiated by members of the CD28 family (CD28, ICOS, CTLA-4, PD-1 and BTLA). These receptors, despite their structural similarity, play distinct roles in modulating the immune system. No recognizable enzymatic activity has been associated with any of their cytoplasmic tails but rather these receptors are thought to recruit unique set of signal transducing molecules, which choreograph their distinct effects on T cell activation. Our approach has been to perform structure-function experiments to determine which domains within the CD28 family members cytoplasmic tails are responsible for transducing particular signals. Understanding how these pathways alter a T cell's response to antigen stimulation on a global basis may lead to the development of novel therapeutics for HIV and cancer.
The second major project strives to develop artificial antigen presenting cells (APCs) to optimally expand T cell subsets. We have created a library of lentiviral vectors encoding costimulatory molecules, HLA alleles, cytokines and chemokines that we used to transduce a MHC deficient cell line, K562. To date, we have engineered cells to express up to eight genes, providing the platform by which to dissect the signals required to optimally activate and expand human T cell subsets. Beyond the potential of this model to understand human T cell differentiation, this project is translational in nature. We are currently developing master cell banks that will allow us to use these artificial APCs to preferentially expand desired T cell subsets for adoptive T cell immunotherapy trails.
The third major project is to develop gene therapy approaches to redirect T cells to target infectious diseases or tumors using high affinity TCRs. We have developed humanized murine models to study the specificity and effectiveness of primary human T cells transduced with lentiviral vectors expressing these high affinity TCRs. Additionally, we are studying how viruses and tumors escape from this augmented immune pressure. Moreover, we are trying to dissect the signaling pathways by which enhanced affinity TCRs direct a more pronounced T cell response.

So how many atheists do you think there'd be? I think they'd probably in the majority.
I think they're in the majority now. There's people who admit they're atheists, and people who claim to be religious, but don't follow the tennants of their religion (sometimes known, here anyway, as "Sunday Christians").
I think there's a big difference though Kakaze between people who don't practise their religion on a day to day basis and atheists, if you believe there's a "higher being" and an afterlife it give you a different perspective on some things - or at least that's what I've found when you run an innocent conversation into a deep, deep hole by assuming friends have the same basice beliefs (or lack thereof) as you

No that's agnostics. Atheists don't believe in gods in any form (higher beings, beards in the sky, space turtles etc).
I agree with you on everything else though. I have more time for those that actually practice religion than those who just can't bear the thought that they won't go to heaven, and think that saying they believe in God will get them in.

However, as TP points out, a miracle doesn't have to be good. The earthquake itself was a miracle. An act of God. Therefore surely a God that can kill up to 200,000 of the poorest people on the planet, most of who were Catholics, has just proved that he/she isn't a caring and just God. You want concrete proof there is no God? There it is.

Organize photos
The folder list on the left is the hub for Picasa organization. By scrolling through this list, you can access all photos displayed by Picasa. To understand Picasa organization, you need to understand the following three collections:
- Folders
Folders in Picasa represent the folders on your computer. You control the folders that are scanned and displayed by Picasa. Changes you make to folders in Picasa affect the corresponding folders on your computer's hard drive. For example, if you delete a photo in a Picasa folder, that photo is also deleted from the computer.
- Albums
Unlike folders, albums exist only in Picasa. Albums allow you to create virtual groups of photos taken from multiple folders on your computer. Albums display those photos without actually moving the photo -- it's like a playlist for photos. When you delete or move photos from an album, the original files remain in their original folders on your computer.
- People
In this collection, you can organize your photos by what frequently matters most -- the people in them. Picasa uses facial recognition technology to find and group similar faces together across your entire collection of photos. By adding name tags to these groups of faces, new people albums are created. These people albums are just like the albums above: when you move or delete faces, the original files stay put.

You mentioned his narrow win, and then you talked about Hendricks, but hasn't Hendricks had a few very close decisions during his streak? (not discrediting Hendricks)
Big Hairy American Winning Machine
the same Palhares who had just retired Salaverry? He was coming in with a HUGE push from the UFC at the time. Far from being a nobody, if he'd beaten Dan, he was one win away from a title shot.He wins a decision over Paul Harris, who is relatively a nobody at the time.
uhm...the completely different weight class was a favor to dana's homeboy Rich. Dan had asked repeatedly that it be held at MW, and was told no.He ekes out a split decision win over Rich Franklin in a completely different weight class (one judge had it 30-27 for Rich)...
Which judge was that again? One of the greats, as I recall? Never made a bad decision, ever, right?
But that's OK, this is where the comedy comes in:
hmmm...you seem to have left off a fairly important phrase. I'll fix it for you:then he KOs one of the most overrated fighters in all of MMA.
Originally Posted by realityYou know what cries out for a title match? When the president of the company makes a public statement like "win this fight convincingly, and you have a title rematch." Did Dan not win that convincingly enough?Not saying he didn't deserve a rematch, but that doesn't necessarily cry out for another title shot,
[QUOTEat least not to the point of claiming Anderson is ducking him (Which he could be, but Dan needed to accomplish more at that time to make this claim). [/QUOTE]
I have to disagree. If your boss said "do x, y, and z and you get a promotion" and than you go do it [KTFOing Z in the process] and then you didn't get the shot, would you think..."aw...I prob'ly shoulda accomplished more."
You're right. The two can't be compared.Certainly not comparable to Johny Hendricks recent run at WW.
Because Hendo started his runup to a rematch as the #3 MW in the world, whereas Hendricks has had to build up momentum from scratch.
If you're not a student of hisotry...rematches have always been easier to earn than initial title shots. Except when soares is involved.
For the record, how many wins did Randy have to score before he earned a rematch against Chuck again?
interesting how you fightfinder pimps struggle to get your stats right...how was he 6 and 5 again? At the point soares whined Anderson's way out of a rematch, Hendo had only lost 6 or 7 fights in his entire career.Hendo was 6-5 in his most recent fights and 0-2 in has last two title fights?
Yeah, lets not, because you're distorting the shit out of it, son.Let's not get ahead of ourselves with distorted nostalgia.
Again, so why wouldn't Anderson simply fight him?And rematches are an element that makes combat sports so great. Ali/Frazier, anyone?
well, if rampageOU812 is claiming followers, I'll take Don over that kid any day.Damn. I'm sorry to hear (read) that.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.

Yeah, Bye.
That was supposed to say 5-3. Epic typo, forgive me. You have far too much of a vested interest in this to bother reasoning with you. Neither one of these guys is my reason to wake up every morning.

SKU:305.229 | Cognac LEATHER
32 Review(s)
Write a Review
Made with top quality leather, our Card Wallet features turned edge construction and hand folded corners. The large interior pockets can hold up to 35 business cards or 16 plastic cards, and we also include extra interior and exterior pockets for more storage space.
Casual yet distinctive, our Timeless collection is one of our favorites. This leather boasts a polished finish and a soft hand feel, making it a great choice for any leather connoisseur. And with the variety of colors it comes in, it's easy to find a shade that appeals to you or matches with your other accessories. As the name implies, our Timeless collection will hold up through years of use while aging gracefully every step of the way.
Please note: textures in this collection range from light grain to a lightly pebbled grain depending on which part of the hide it's from.
The quality is very good. It ended up being a little too thick for me. It is the size of a regular wallet and I was looking for something thinner.
Nice item, Great customer service.
In a world where we have a debit card, a 2 to 3 credit cards, a gym card, costco card, insurance card, health savings card and a license by the time you are finished you have 9 to 15 cards. It's a pain. But this wallet makes everything better. I love this wallet it holds so much yet stays small. There is nothing bad to say about this wallet. It's perfect if you have to carry a lot of cards. It feels rich. Wish I would have bought it sooner.
soft, beautiful with quality workmenship
Exactly what I was wanting. Well-made and the presentation in the delivery was second to none. I highly recommend both the this wallet and Leatherology
I bought this for my husband as a gift and it is perfect. The color is beautiful, the craftsmanship of the leather is excellent, soft and supple, and the size for his business cards is exactly what he wanted (others are much smaller) with several slots for credit cards.
Excellent quality and build. Gold personalization Perfect. Perfect presentation opening the box. Will buy again.
Excellent wallet! I really enjoy the quality of the product.
This product is exactly as it is pictured and described. I really like the size as a whole and particularly the number of slots for credit cards, cash and identification.
All your mdse has been great quality and packaging is superb for gift giving
Bought this as a gift for my husband. He was looking for something for business cards. Was surprised to find this combination business card holder with wallet. Had his initials placed on the front What an exceptional piece for him to carry either in pants pocket front or back or in coat pocket. great quality and look. Thank you for helping me really surprise him. Item arrived in quality packaging, can be used for storage when not in use. Quick shipment, arrived as promised. Thank You.
I purchased this for my wonderful husband who doesn't necessarily carry a wallet. He uses this for business cards, both his and others, along with neatly folded cash. He loved this gift very much. Will order again!
Wasn't what I needed, but it was exactly what was shown on he web site. I will have to send ir back tomorrow.
Perfect...exactly what i was looking for
This is exactly what I was looking for. The engraving was a nice touch and well done. The quality is great.
This item was replacement a similar item by Salvatore Ferragamo who no longer makes this model. This unit is more than adequate and much less expensive and I am enjoy using it.
I was very pleased with my purchase. The leather is of great quality, I added my initials and the imprint came out excellent, and the compact size and accessibility of the card holder is wonderful. It looks very professional and during business meetings have had several compliments. Great gift idea. Also, the packaging and presentation upon opening the shipment was lovely.
Leather soft, supple, well made. Fits everything well and is easily organized.
I received this wallet as a gift from my husband. I don't carry a purse and this wallet fits in my pocket, perfect for keeping everything I need close at hand.
My husband is very particular about his wallet and needs to have one that doesn't have a cash compartment to cut down on size. I searched various websites for hours before deciding on this one. Mainly because i couldnt find any others. It is thin, beautiful and perfect for him. He loves it, and we will def purchase from leatherology in the future. It also came wrapped beautifully. I would recommend for anyone that wants a wallet with no cash compartment!
Excellent product and service
Pleased with the wallet size and capacity to keep just the number of cards I wish to carry.
I am using this as a wallet. I do not like tri-folds, bi-folds wallets, just to big. Perfect for carrying id's, credit cards. What money I do carry, I fold in half, then sandwich it between the wallet. Absolutely PERFECT.
I purchased this product to use as a front pocket wallet, instead of business cards. The leather is soft and became a perfect size to hold my DL, credit cards and folded bills, but also fits comfortably in my front pocket. I had it personalized with my initials and it arrived just as stated from the web site. I will purchase products from Leatherology again in the near future.
Very well made. Easy transaction.
I am using this for my medical records: List of Allergies, Medications taken daily, Medical insurance cards, and Doctors Business cards. It is perfect to carry in my purse. Thank you
Awesome!!! exactly as advertised. Beautiful presentation. GREAT finish and quality. The transaction was really smooth and they shipped fast.
The quality of this business card wallet is extremely nice. Having it initialized made it extra special. The wallet came beautifully boxed, and on time as promised.
Extremely high quality. The packaging is quite elegant. A great gift.
Great produce and very roomy
I was looking for a wallet that can hold all my credit cards and other cards, but that was also small. This wallet turned out to be the perfect size. The leather is really good quality and very soft, which I was very happy about. The color was a bit brighter then I thought it would have been. I also got it monogram because I love to personalize stuff. I think it is the best wallet I ever owned because of the size, color and the quality of the leather.
I like having a wallet that can carry my business cards in it also.
Whether you are treating yourself or giving a gift to someone else, we want you to have an amazing and memorable experience. All items will be shipped using our signature gift packaging. Depending on the type and size, your item(s) will come wrapped in our signature microsuede sleeve, drawstring bag or soft velour bag (each with black tie accents), and be packaged inside a high-density bronze gift box.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Cyber Security Legislation
The Obama Administration is on a roll with proposing legislation that endangers our privacy and security. Over the course of two days, President Obama proposed a cybersecurity bill that looks awfully similar to the now infamous CISPA (with respect to information sharing), a computer crime bill that is the opposite of our own proposed computer crime reform, and a data breach law weaker than the current status quo. All three of the bills are recycled ideas that have failed in Congress since their introduction in 2011. They should stay on the shelf.
Zombie Bill Dead in 2013, Stumbles from the Grave in 2015
More needs to be done to protect cyberspace and enhance computer security. But President Obama's cybersecurity legislative proposal recycles old ideas that should remain where they've been since May 2011: on the shelf. Introducing information sharing proposals with broad liability protections, increasing penalties under the already draconian Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and potentially decreasing the protections granted to consumers under state data breach law are both unnecessary and unwelcome.
Information Sharing
After all its hard work this year Congress is almost done with its summer recess. Lawmakers are due back Sept. 8 and have much to tackle. Two bills are of paramount importance to EFF: one—the USA FREEDOM Act—must be passed by Congress, while the other—the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act (CISA)—must be killed.
EFF joined a group of thirty-five civil society organizations, companies, and security experts that sent a letter on Monday encouraging President Obama to veto S. 2588, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act ("CISA") of 2014. The letter states:
CISA fails to offer a comprehensive solution to cybersecurity threats. Further, the bill contains inadequate protections for privacy and civil liberties. Accordingly, we request that you promptly pledge to veto CISA.
A Zombie Bill Comes Back to Life: A Look at The Senate's Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014
The Senate Intelligence Committee recently introduced the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014. It's the fourth time in four years that Congress has tried to pass "cybersecurity" legislation. Unfortunately, the newest Senate bill is one of the worst yet.

"I LOVE using TinyPrints for all of my party needs, but when it came time to organize my son's 13th birthday party...I didn't know if TinyPrints would have what I was looking for. I could not have been more wrong! In fact, the entire theme came together from this one invitation! We even carried it through to pit crew shirts for all of the guests, postage, and chocolate "tire" cupcakes. I'm sorry I ever doubted you TinyPrints!! And ps, I already found invites for my husband's 40th too!! Thanks again!!"
"I loved the quality of these cards. Everything came before the estimated delivery date. The cards had envelopes. I would buy from tinyprints again!"
"THe picture quality is great. I love this magnet. I bought one for my mom and for myself and i will be buying more for my in laws."
"We have received so many compliments on our sons birth announcement. We love this layout. Perfect amount of space for the picture we chose and lovely font for all of the birth information. The cards came very quickly in the mail and were great quality! Thanks for the perfect birth announcement."
