New Rochelle, NY, December 19, 2007In a groundbreaking experiment published in Cloning & Stem Cells, scientists from International Stem Cell (ISC) Corp. derived four unique embryonic stem cell lines that open the door for the creation of therapeutic cells that will not provoke an immune reaction in large segments of the population. The stem cell lines are HLA-homozygous, meaning that they have a simple genetic profile in the critical areas of the DNA that code for immune rejection. The lines could serve to create a stem cell bank as a renewable source of transplantable cells for use in cell therapy to replace damaged tissues or to treat genetic and degenerative diseases.
The paper was published online ahead of print in the Journal and is available online. The paper is part of the Spring 2008 (Volume 10, Number 1) issue of the Journal, which is published by Mary Ann Liebert, Inc.
This study has used a novel approach to producing cells that may one day be used to treat large numbers of patients. While there is a great deal of discussion about the possibility of producing stem cells for each patient this approach to therapy is unrealistic because of the enormous costs involved. Rather it is likely that treatment of large numbers of patients by cell therapy will only be possible if methods are found using any one cell line to treat very large numbers of patients. This very exciting paper represents a significant step forward towards the use of such cells in cell therapy, says Ian Wilmut, PhD, journal Editor-in-Chief and Director of the Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the Queens Medical Research Institute, University of Edinburgh. Immune reaction is one of the most serious problems facing the development of stem cell therapy, and cell lines of this type may enable us to treat a large number of patients without immune rejection, offering an enormous practical advantage. Further research is required to confirm that the cells produced in th

Lesson 1
Objective: The beginning of "Haroun and the Sea of Stories" starts with the protagonist, Haroun, and his family going about their daily lives. The Khalifa family lives in a sad city, a city so sad that it forgot its name. Despite this sad city, Haroun is a happy boy. His father, Rashid, is well known across the land as a great teller of stories. Some call him the Ocean of Notions or the Shah of Blah. Soraya, Haroun's mother, is a beautiful woman who loves to sing. The objective of this lesson is to analyze the protagonist and his family as the story introduction unfolds.
1) Class Discussion: What is a protagonist? Why is Haroun a protagonist? How does the reader know this? What is known about Haroun's parents, Rashid and Soraya? What kind of people are they? Are they kind, intelligent, friendly or something else? What indication...

Good quality, good fit. I would love some more fashion choices. You have a lot of cute glasses on the website but only a few options at the 0.5 power. I would buy more if t you had more choices.
I've looked for +.50 strength for a long time, and an eyeglass store owner even told me there was no such thing. I'm delighted with these glasses as the stronger ones make me dizzy. The super fast delivery and good quality are much appreciated, too.
great glasses!
These are my first pair of glasses. The other reviews were good so I decided to give them a try. They have a nice frame and fit securely. I was afraid they would be a bit loose, but after reading other reviews that they fit well I decided to give them a try. No problems, nice pair of glasses. Also fast shipping, especially to an APO!
These +.50 glasses are perfect for my needs. Even better was how FAST the delivery was!!
Thank you :)

On Thursday, 22-year-old Jared Staal made his NHL debut for the Carolina Hurricanes after being called up earlier this week from the AHL's Charlotte Checkers. Making a momentous occasion that much sweeter, he did so alongside two of his brothers, Eric and Jordan, as the Hurricanes faced the New York Rangers, who coincidentally have another one of the Staal brothers, Marc (although he's out of lineup with an eye injury). The icing on the cake was that Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller allowed the Staal brothers to start the game on the same line, surprisingly becoming the third set of brothers to play on the same line in NHL history. With all three brothers about to compete as teammates, one Eric's sons made an adorable sign wishing his dad and two uncles good luck. @MikeSundheim: Adorable. It was such an obviously big moment for the Staal family that Henry Staal, the father of four NHL-playing boys, flew up to see Jared's debut and watch three of his sons play on the same team. Asked if he ever envisioned having sons playing in the NHL, the proud father said, "Not in a million years, in all honesty. It's a dream come true. Playing on the outdoor rink or playing minor hockey, driving around and going, 'Oh, is the season ever going to end?' that sort of thing, and now to have this. And the guys are all excited for each other, which is really nice." That's putting it mildly. And even though Marc was unable to play, Jared mentioned it was nice to see him nonetheless. "It was good to catch up with him," Jared said. "He was joking around that his teammates are going to be harder on him now that there's three of us on this team." Seemingly unimaginable, right? It defies logic that it's the third time that has happened in NHL history. But it has, and Eric's son has the sign to commemorate it.

- Mix the breadcrumbs, chilli powder, cumin, crushed chillies, if using, and lime zest with ½ tsp salt and lots of black pepper. Spread over a plate. Toss the prawns in the flour, then dip them into the egg and then into the crumbs. Shake off excess crumbs. Can be chilled in one layer for up to one day ahead.
- When ready to cook, heat a few centimetres of oil in a large, deep frying pan. The oil is hot enough when a few crumbs tipped into it sizzle and turn brown. Fry the prawns in batches for 2 mins, turning halfway, until the crumbs are crisp and golden all over. Lift them onto kitchen paper to drain (they will keep in a low oven for 15 mins if necessary), then serve on a warm plate, with lime wedges scattered around. Mix the lime juice and coriander into the mayonnaise and serve alongside.

For over 100 years, ADHD has been seen as essentially a behavior disorder. Recent scientific research has developed a new paradigm which recognizes ADHD as a developmental disorder of the cognitive management system of the brain, its executive functions. This cutting-edge book pulls together key ideas of this new understanding of ADHD, explaining them and describing in understandable language scientific research that supports this new model. It addresses questions like: - Why can those with ADHD focus very well on some tasks while having great difficulty in focusing on other tasks they recognize as important? - How does brain development and functioning of persons with ADHD differ from others? - How do impairments of ADHD change from childhood through adolescence and in adulthood? - What treatments help to improve ADHD impairments? How do they work? Are they safe? - Why do those with ADHD have additional emotional, cognitive, and learning disorders more often than most others? - What commonly-held assumptions about ADHD have now been proven wrong by scientific research? Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other medical and mental health professionals, as well as those affected by ADHD and their families, will find this to be am insightful and invaluable resource.

Dear Editor,
Due to its inability to meet its portion of operating costs, the Riverbank-Oakdale Transit Authority is having the county take over its dial-a-ride service.
Responding to the rural area between Oakdale and Riverbank amid concerns of an agricultural business pursuing green energy, Congressman Jeff Denham and State Senator Tom Berryhill met with the owners and employees to better understand their energy conversion process and hear their frustrations with power conglomerate PG&E. When they were done, the elected officials assured company representatives they would do what they could on both the state and federal levels.
Two four-year Oakdale City Council seats are up for grabs this November with five names on the ballot to choose from. Two are experienced dais members pursuing re-election. The other challengers – the current city treasurer, a known volunteer and small business owner, and a successful owner of a chain of extended care facilities – have hopes of guiding Oakdale for the next four years.
In 2009, Oakdale leaders along with officials from the City of Newman discovered a tax-sharing deal by the City of Modesto with an oil distribution company that was extracting tax dollars normally flowing toward their coffers. Both cities pursued the matter to the State Board of Equalization, but only Newman officials followed it through with appeals to finally receive back compensation. Now, Newman's periodic share of the sales tax revenue is returned to them by Modesto.

Article: Association between C4d staining in renal transplant biopsies, production of donor-specific HLA antibodies, and graft outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We carried out a retrospective study of C4d staining in paraffin sections from renal transplant biopsies to determine the association between C4d staining, donor-specific antibodies (DSA), histological features, and graft outcome. We studied 92 patients who had been biopsied for graft dysfunction. Biopsies were classified using Banff 97 criteria and features suggestive of antibody-mediated rejection were noted. Paraffin sections were stained with a polyclonal antibody using an immunoperoxidase technique. The presence of DSA in concurrent sera was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and clinical data were reviewed. Of the 92 cases, 15% showed diffuse and 24% showed focal C4d positivity. The grafts failed in 36% of the diffuse (P<0.025), 23% of the focal, and 7% of the negative group at between one month and 15 years posttransplantation. Only patients in the group with diffuse C4d positivity had concurrent DSA (five cases, P<0.001). Of the five DSA-positive patients, three had type II acute rejection and two of these transplants subsequently failed. The remaining two had chronic allograft nephropathy with features of alloimmune injury. Only two of the nine DSA-negative/C4d-positive transplants had failed at the time of writing, in one case due to recurrent disease. We demonstrated a significant association between diffuse C4d staining, production of DSA, and graft failure. Although the concurrent detection of DSA and C4d positivity is uncommon in our patients, these results indicate that outcome in this group is poor and they may benefit from therapies directed at the humoral response.Transplantation 02/2007; 83(4):398-403.

Article: The role of HLA-specific antibodies in kidney transplant rejection: published studies and local data.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The post-transplantation production of antibodies directed against donor HLA class I and class II mismatches has been shown to be associated with transplant rejection. Recipient sensitization against donor HLA plays a key role in transplant rejection; this risk is best minimized by efficient pre-transplant antibody detection and definition, effective pre-allocation cross-matching, and minimization of HLA mismatches between donor and recipient. The term "PRA" is of little value. Identification of the HLA specificity to which an antibody is directed is essential and now possible using contemporary methodology. It is now recognized that antibody-mediated rejection should be diagnosed on the basis of allograft dysfunction, characteristic features of histology, C4d immunohistology, and the presence of donor-specific antibodies. HLA-DP is becoming recognized as a "transplantation antigen." For the future, the repertoire of a histocompatibility laboratory must expand to include typing organ transplant recipients and donors for HLA-DP and also the definition of antibodies to DP. Antibodies to non-HLA targets should be an important consideration when assessing factors that influence transplant outcome.Clinical transplants 02/2006;

Article: The detection and definition of IgM alloantibodies in the presence of IgM autoantibodies using flowPRA beads.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We have developed a flow cytometry-based screening method using FlowPRA (One Lambda) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I panel beads and FlowPRA (One Lambda) HLA class I specificity beads for the detection and definition of immunoglobulin (Ig)M HLA-specific antibodies in the presence of IgM autoantibodies. Forty-six autoantibody-positive patients who were on the waiting list for a renal transplant (56 sera) were tested in parallel with FlowPRA (One Lambda) HLA class I beads and FlowPRA (One Lambda) control beads. Sera that were positive for IgM HLA class I antibodies were subsequently tested with FlowPRA HLA class I specificity beads to determine the HLA specificities. Thirteen of the 46 patients were positive for IgM HLA class I-specific antibodies. Eleven of the 13 had previous failed transplants and 2 were awaiting a primary transplant. For 9 of the 13 positive patients, IgM HLA class I specificities were defined. We have demonstrated the presence of IgM HLA-specific antibodies in patients with IgM autoantibodies. This study demonstrates the value of FlowPRA HLA class I panel and specificity beads for the detection and definition of IgM HLA class I-specific antibodies.Human Immunology 07/2003; 64(6):593-9.

Article: Posttransplantation production of donor HLA-specific antibodies as a predictor of renal transplant outcome[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study aimed to determine whether the production, in renal transplant recipients, of antibodies directed against donor HLA mismatches is predictive of transplant failure. The failure study group comprised 112 adult recipients of primary renal transplants who had re-entered the transplant waiting list after failure of the first graft. A control group of 123 recipients with functioning transplants was selected from transplantations performed during the same time period, in which patients had equivalent HLA matching and immunosuppression and a minimum of 5 years of follow-up. Sera taken before transplantation and at 1, 3, and 6 months and annually after transplantation were tested by enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence of HLA class I- and class II-specific antibodies. Antibody specificity was defined by a combination of cytotoxicity, ELISA, and flow cytometry techniques to determine whether the antibodies were directed against donor mismatches. All recipients were negative for donor HLA-specific antibodies before transplantation. After transplantation, 57 (50.9%) of the 112 patients in the failure group produced donor HLA-specific antibodies compared with 2 (1.6%) of the 123 controls (P<0.0001; odds ratio [OR]=64.98; confidence interval [CI], 14.78-399.51). For 60% of the donor-specific antibody-positive patients, antibodies were detected before transplant failure. In 17 cases, these were class I specific; in 14 cases, class II specific; and in 3 cases, specific for both class I and II. This study has demonstrated that the production of posttransplantation antibodies directed against donor HLA-A, -B, -Cw, -DR, and -DQ mismatches are all strongly predictive of transplant failure.Transplantation 04/2003; 75(7):1034-40.

Article: A comparison of enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assays and flow cytometry techniques for the detection of HLA specific antibodies.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: LATM, Quikscreen (QS), and B-Screen (QSB) are ELISA-based tests for the detection of HLA specific antibodies. FlowPRA beads are microparticles coated with HLA antigens for the detection of HLA specific antibodies by flow cytometry. The aim of this study was to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the LATM, QS, QSB, and FlowPRA screening tests. One hundred sixty-three sera from renal transplant patients were tested using LATM, FlowPRA, QS, and QSB. Discrepant results were further investigated using complement dependent cytotoxicity, QuikID, and PRA-STAT. When QS was compared with LATMI and FlowPRAI for the detection of HLA class I specific antibodies the overall concordance was 82.8% with no particular specificity missed by any one test. Comparing QSB with LATMII and FlowPRAII, for the detection of HLA class II specific antibodies, there was 90.7% concordance. Although the overall concordance was better for class II specific antibodies, QSB failed to detect antibodies to HLA-DQ in a number of samples from different patients. Of the methods tested, flow cytometry using FlowPRA beads appeared to be the most sensitive and specific, missing the least number of specificities. However, the ELISA methods offer the advantage of being more suitable for testing large numbers of samples in a more time- and cost-effective manner.Human Immunology 11/2001; 62(10):1178-84.

Article: Detection of HLA-specific antibodies by PRA-STAT and their association with transplant outcome.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim was to investigate the correlation between renal transplant outcome and the presence of HLA-specific antibodies detected using the ELISA kit PRA-STAT as compared with complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC). 295 sera from 95 renal transplant recipients (99 transplants) were investigated for the presence of HLA-specific antibodies using both PRA-STAT and CDC. The patients were divided into group I (49 transplants failed within 1 month) and group II (50 successful transplants). The concordance between PRA-STAT and CDC for the detection of HLA class I-specific antibodies was 87.8% (259 of 295). For 19 sera, antibodies were detected only by PRA-STAT; for 17 sera, antibodies were detected only by CDC. No donor-specific antibodies were detected by either technique for patients in group II. For four group I patients (six sera), donor-specific IgG antibodies were detected only by PRA-STAT (one before, three after transplant) and all four transplants failed. For five other group I patients (six sera), donor HLA-specific antibodies were detected only by CDC (one before, four after transplant) and all five transplants failed. The antibodies detected before transplant by CDC were shown to be IgM alloantibodies. This study showed that PRA-STAT could detect HLA-specific IgG antibodies relevant to transplant outcome that were not detected by CDC. However, it could not detect IgM alloantibodies that were also shown to be important. PRA-STAT is therefore a useful addition to a histocompatibility laboratory's screening repertoire only when used in conjunction with other techniques.Transplantation 02/1998; 65(1):121-5.

Article: A novel strategy for the detection and definition of HLA-specific antibodies in patients awaiting renal transplantation[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Conventional testing for HLA-specific antibodies employs complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) which is labour intensive and dependent on a supply of viable lymphocytes. Our strategy to minimise CDC screening is initially to screen sera by ELISA (Quikscreen) to detect HLA Class I-specific antibodies. Negative sera are then screened by flow cytometry (FCS) using lymphoblastoid cell line pools to detect HLA Class II-specific antibodies. Only Quikscreen- or FCS-positive sera are then tested by CDC and, when indicated, with an ELISA kit (PRA-STAT) for specificity definition. Of 3680 sera, 886 (24.1%) were Quikscreen positive. Of the 2794 Quikscreen-negative sera, 374 (13.4%) were FCS positive. Therefore, only 1265 of the 3680 (34.3%) sera contained HLA-specific antibodies requiring specificity definition. This novel screening strategy has significantly reduced the CDC workload of the laboratory whilst enabling the detection of additional HLA-specific antibodies.Transplant International 02/1998; 11 Suppl 1:S372-6.

A bunch of little goodies from the last couple of days.
The latest and greatest Mix Diskerud rumor has him close to signing with NYCFC according to Ives Galarcep.
Goalkeeper Bill Hamid is drawing interest from Italian and English clubs according to Steven Goff.
Hamid along with DC United teammates Perry Kitchen and Steve Birnbaum apparently made the USMNT's January camp preliminary roster.
Camp begins January 12 and we should see a roster in the next few days. Jurgen Klinsmann/US Soccer released a video earlier this week to various members of the press where he explained that 2015 will focus a lot of attention on the youth teams, especially the U-23 Olympic team.
"The main task for 2015 is definitely the Olympic team, the U-23 team, to get that off the ground. To identify players, get camps on the agenda, get games on the agenda for that team, and help them to kind of build a core group towards the qualifiers. We want to make sure that what happened with London 2012 is not happening again. We put this on a higher priority level and I think that's exciting."
He also confirmed that Brek Shea will be in January's camp.
Another player Klinsmann talked about was Bobby Wood, who continues to have a falling out with 1860 Munich and could be headed somewhere in January.
We know the US will be playing at the Netherlands in June and now we know they will likely being playing at Amsterdam ArenA.
Tab Ramos selected his 20-man roster for the 2015 CONCACAF U-20 Championship on Monday. While Ben Spencer is on the roster, apparently CONCACAF's website had Joel Sonora's name on the roster at first. It looks like Sonora originally made the team, but was pulled off due to an injury.
While the US U-20 team camped in Florida last week, they defeated a Florida select team 6-0 and beat Trinidad & Tobago 2-0. Someone on the team also brought a selfie stick. All five games of the group stage will be broadcasted on FS2, starting with Friday's game against Guatemala at 5:30 PM Eastern.
Franco Panizo talked to Paul Arriola earlier this week about the U-20 team and we also learned that he might be headed to MLS on a loan deal to try and get more playing time.
It is looking more and more like we can cross Diego Fagundez off the potential US list.
FIFA.com has a new interview up with DeAndre Yedlin.
Tom Marshall caught up with Omar Salgado to talk about his move to Tigres.
Jose Torres is going to miss Tigres' opener against Atlas with a herniated disc.
Joe Gyau is expected to be back to full training with Borussia Dortmund in early February as he continues to recover from his knee injury.
Midfielder Cole Grossman is the latest American to head to Norway to join the Fighting Bob Bradleys of Stabæk.
Liverpool are trying to get a Home Office clearance/work permit for Brooks Lennon in order to sign the 17-year-old forward.
This is your monthly reminder that Jermaine Jones and his family are awesome.
With 2014 ending, we have closed off our 2014 goal tracker. Jann George led the way with 20 goals across all competitions in the calendar year. I have already setup the 2015 page as Jon-Paul Pittman scored a goal on January 1 while we were too busy watching the Big Ten beat up on the SEC West.
Two documentary recommendations for you guys. If you haven't seen it yet, Roger Bennett did a nice one on Southampton and their their pride in developing youth players. And here is a fun one on the Crazy Gang, which is the Wimbledon teams of the late 1980s. (h/t Zack Goldman).
And finally, we can blame Alex Olshansky for bringing this to my attention, but here is the weird BBC intro for the US/Portugal match from last summer's World Cup. You can tell even Gary Lineker thought it was odd at the end of the video.
FIFA announced its finalists for the FIFA Ballon d'Or and for the FIFA World Coach of the Year. While no USMNT players made the Ballon d'Or list (how did Alan Gordon not get nominated?!), Jurgen Klinsmann is one of the 10 finalists for the Coach of the Year award.
FIFA also plans to show off its new logo for the 2018 World Cup later today.
It looks like the USMNT might play Switzerland in a friendly in Zurich in March.
Congrats to the US Women's National Team for winning the CONCACAF Women's Championship and clinching a spot in next summer's World Cup. Since 1990, the US is one of three countries to qualify for every men's and women's World Cup (also Germany and Brazil).
Michael Bradley is going to have surgery this week to correct a lingering nerve issue in his foot. This is an injury that has been bugging him for most of the season. Jeff Carlisle asked him if it was an issue prior to the World Cup, which he said no, but I guess it got worse as the season wore on.
I tweeted out a photo over the weekend of Terrence Boyd getting Randy Orton's RKO (WWE wrestling move) preformed on him by a teammate and now we have video of the hilarity.
Jake Keegan went 90 minutes yesterday in Galway FC's 2-1 win over UCD in the first leg of the Irish Premier Division promotion/relegation playoffs. Galway FC scored two late goals to steal the road win and now host UCD on Friday for a chance at promotion.
Alejandro Bedoya missed Nantes' 2-0 win this weekend due to a hamstring strain.
While there were some rumblings that Aron Johannsson might play this weekend for AZ Alkmaar, he did not as they want to give him a few more minutes with the reserve team.
Geoff Cameron returned to Stoke City's starting lineup this past weekend as a holding midfielder, but the Potters fell to Southampton 1-0. Here is a photo of Cameron in action.
Greg Garza had to leave Tijuana's draw to Chivas on Sunday with a head injury.
After scoring 12 goals in 14 games with the U-23 team, Jann George finally saw some first team action with Greuther Furth's senior team in their 5-2 loss to FSV Frankfurt.
We had some goals this weekend. Matt Taylor scored twice in Saarbrücken's 4-1 win over Pirmasens. Christian King scored twice in Ararat's 3-2 loss to Ulisses in Armenian Premier League action. Jerome Kiesewetter scored his second goal of the season on Saturday in Stuttgart II's 1-0 win over Unterhaching. And over Tigres' last two games, we have had goals by Jose Torres and Herculez Gomez.
We also had some assists/sort-of-assists. Mix Diskerud had this pretty little chip assist in Rosenborg's 3-1 win over Sandnes Ulf. And in the sort-of-assist category, Tim Ream and Zak Whitbread each had one for their respective clubs.
Marc Pelosi was back in action with Liverpool's U-21 team this past weekend.
It looks like the US U-20 team might be headed abroad for three friendlies in November.
Mia Hamm was nominated for Roma's board of directors on Monday.
I saw a Clint Dempsey rumor (loan deal back to the Premier League) has been circulating the interwebs in the last 48 hours, but it all came from a short "story" from the Daily Mirror with no quotes (except for an out of context quote from Klinsmann). Come on people, I thought we were better than that.
And finally, no matter what happens with the rest of his career, Stuart Holden is still awesome.
Jann George scored his 12th goal of the season over the weekend in Greuther Fürth II's 3-0 win over Nürnberg II. Here are some highlights with George's goal coming at the 1:23 mark.
Let's get into it.
Here are a bunch of tidbits from the first couple days of the USMNT camp in Boston. The big news from yesterday was that Jozy Altidore said he is open to a move away from Sunderland if his situation doesn't improve. And Greg Seltzer breaks out the speculation-mobile on possible Altidore destinations.
In case you missed it, US Soccer made a great Landon Donovan tribute video. Even without video of the actual goal, the goal against Algeria never gets old. ESPN's Jeff Carlisle takes a look at the early Landon Donovan days.
Ives Galarcep is at the camp and talked to Joe Gyau.
As for some injury news, Terrence Boyd was officially cleared to return to training with RB Leipzig earlier this week and here are a few photos of him back in action from yesterday.
Also, a Mr. Geoffrey Cameron is back to full fitness.
Tim Ream will have a new manager at Bolton as Dougie Freedman stepped down last week. That is probably too bad for Stuart Holden, as even though he was wasn't the manager who brought Holden over, Freedman seemed to like him. Hopefully the new manager will give Holden a chance once he returns from injury.
Tim Howard wants to see more American goalkeepers in the Premier League.
Speaking of the Premier League, some clubs are now open to talking about possibly playing some league games outside of England. If this were to happen, you would have to think a couple would be played in the US.
I posted a link to one earlier this week, but it looks like Rubio Rubin made multiple Eredivisie Teams of the Week.
According to a report out of Poland, NY Red Bulls' Matt Miazga turned down a call-up with Poland's U-20 team to play with the US U-23 team down in Brazil.
Jose Montes de Oca, a 19-year-old forward from Santa Ana, California, made his debut this past weekend with the Liga MX club Leon.
Jann George has been scoring a bunch for Greuther Fürth's U-23 team this year in the Regionalliga and he scored with the senior team in a friendly on Wednesday.
Want your League of Ireland First Division fix? Here are some things on Pat McCann and Jake Keegan.
And finally, US Soccer Development Academy goalkeeper Bryce Billington made the newspaper in Aberdeen.
Jann George scored his 11th goal of the season over the weekend in Greuther Fürth II's 1-1 draw to Schalding-Heining. Here are some highlights with his goal from the penalty spot coming at the 0:35 mark.
Jann George has been on fire over the last two weeks. He scored his 10th goal of the season on Saturday, also his eighth goal in his last four games, in Greuther Fürth II's 2-1 loss to Bayreuth. Here are some highlights with his goal coming at the 0:52 mark.
A couple days late on this.
Matt's Pick – Jann George (Greuther Fürth II – German Regionalliga)
Jann George is making rain goals right now. Even before today's brace (which goes towards next week), he scored five goals over two games last week. Here is his brace from the weekend.
Howie's Pick – Brek Shea (Stoke City – English Premier League)
Brek Shea's latest edition of Brek Shea's Last Chance began in a positive manner, as the winger went 67 minutes and assisted Birmingham City's lone goal in a 1-1 draw with Leeds United (highlights).
Jann George is in the middle of an incredible run where he has scored seven goals over his last three games. Here is his brace from the weekend in Greuther Fürth II's 6-1 win over Memmingen. His goals are at the 0:42 and 1:55 marks.
Jann George scored his second goal of the season over the weekend in Greuther Fürth II's 3-1 win over Schweinfurt. Here are some highlights of the game with George's goal coming at the 0:46 mark.
Jann George went the full 90 minutes and scored Greuther Fürth II's lone goal in a 1-1 draw to Heimstetten in their 2014-15 Regionalliga opener over the weekend. Here are some highlights with George's goal coming at the 0:45 mark.

Let me try this again. My first "hello" was removed because I mentioned an illegal downloading site. First of all, Hi, I have always been wanting to mess around with 3d animation but didn't want to have to pay several hundred of dollars to mess around with this, to see if I get it. Second I don't endorse illegal downloading of other peoples work. The only reason I mentioned it was because when I try to download Daz 3d pro, the free software from the store I get a 404 error. I figured it was free so no harm no fowl on my suggestion. Hopefully this won't get banned
The main point to emphasise here is that the only way to legally download any DAZ Software or 3D content, whether it be free or paid for, is to download it here, at the DAZ 3D site and through the DAZ 3D store.
We did have a store problem which is now sorted out, it was a general problem and was affecting everyone. So you should now be able to download the copy of DS that you have ordered.

I am pleased to announce that this Autumn, I will be putting on some training on risk, targeted at schools. The workshops, organised by the Council for Learning Outside the Classroom (CLOtC), will look at why outdoor learning and play matter, what a balanced, thoughtful approach to risk looks like, and how this can be developed in schools. The half-day sessions will be repeated in four venues across England in Sept, Oct and Nov. See the end of this post for dates and venues, and head to this CLOtC web page for bookings.

Kimberly says, "In spite of great advances in tools and business processes, many product development teams continue to fail for entirely predictable and avoidable reasons! I'm thrilled to be invited to share my insights and experience with effective product development teams with the Global Product Management Community!"
Kimberly Wiefling, Founder and President, Wiefling Consulting, Inc. and Author of Scrappy Project Management recently spoke and presented two workshops at The Product Summit in San Francisco. She helps organizations achieve what SEEMS impossible, but is merely difficult. How? By turning managers into leaders and groups into teams. A physicist by education, she realized long ago the limits of technology devoid of human skills – the so-called "touchy feely" aspects of working in teams so vital to success, and so frequently overlooked.

By Mariya Lyublina reporting from the Product Summit (productsummit.org)
The Saturday started off with much needed rain in San Francisco – a perfect beginning to a challenge all about helping the environment. The challenge faced by aspiring and seasoned product managers was identifying the right customers for a clean emissions combustion engine that runs on compressed natural gas. The founders of this innovative technology are experienced engineers and have many ideas for bringing this product to market but need help identifying the right customers to make sure the product is successful. With the promise of a 40% reduction of fuel needed to create energy, this engine could go almost anywhere. This is where a talented product manager can make all the difference, and with a room full of them, the founders were in luck.
We started the day off with Alejandro Pena, our facilitator extraordinaire, leading us through an introduction to the product. Quickly getting through the technical piece, we jumped into splitting off into teams. Each person had to pick a personality attribute they identify with most – creative, organized, optimistic, kind, or easygoing. Is it weird that no one identified with kind? Well, I guess we just had a lot of optimistic, easygoing product managers. The easygoing group was the largest. Eventually we landed on six groups of five to six talented managers!
Team Lamineer Flow (left) and Team Aeromatic
The teams went through several iterations of empathizing (understanding the problem) and defining (restating the problem) – cutting, pasting, creating, and ultimately finding their way towards a solid understanding of the issue at hand.
Be Clean (left) and Global Clean Fuel hard at work creating mind maps and collages.
The discussions in each team took many turns from triple bottom lines to collages filled words like lean, fast, ignite, future, and change. The driving theme across all of the teams was the potential of the engine. Although, there was also talk of the challenges associated with natural gas in today's market. Many teams initially focused on commercial fleets as the target but the much needed break for lunch brought new ideas to the forefront as we moved into the Ideate phase of the session.
Sticky notes filled the boards as ideas flowed through the groups. Groups were no longer just talking about fleets but much more creative solutions for the new technology. From collecting cow gases to transforming San Francisco's poop into natural gas for home and industrial use, the ideas were creative – sometimes funny – but ultimately innovative.
Team Squeaky Clean finalizing their solutions and working towards the business model canvas.
With the business model canvas completed and all of the hard work out of the way, the teams came together for their last bit of business for the day: pitching their ideas to the judges. Who was taking home the win for the best way to monetize this innovative product?
D1vergent started things off with targeting commercial fleets and adding software to the mix to get a quick ROI in less than two years. Be Clean, a mix of two teams at this point, gave us Far*, Inc., a complicated system that recycles cow gases transferring this potential energy to transportation companies. Aeromatic brought us Abatech, offering a licensing solution to natural gas power plant engineering firms in the consulting space. Lamineer Flow went after proof of concept by using grants to fund implementation on a small scale and then marketing the results to larger commercial fleets. Finally, Squeaky Clean suggested GasCap, a device used by power plants to transform sewage into natural gas for both industrial and commercial use.
Deliberation was tense and everyone waited anxiously for the results of the judges. As the sun set, and the day wound down, we received the results of the hard work that each team put into their solution:
3rd Place: Squeaky Clean for GasCap. Although a recommendation was made to incorporate Far*, Inc. into the product as well.
2nd Place: D1vergent. The clearly defined customer and software combination, along with the quick ROI, won over the judges.
1st Place: With a slick pricing model and low risk business model, Aeromatic took the grand prize for their Abatech solution.
Aeromatic hard at work on Abatech
With the winners announced, the third day of the @ProductSummit came to a close!

Sun Dome Reopens; Is A Campus Football Stadium in USF's Future?
Unless you've been in the USF Sun Dome in the last week or two, then you really haven't been in the Sun Dome!
The arena has reopened after a 36 million dollar renovation—but it's almost like a completely new building. This week's University Beat on WUSF Public Media takes you inside the new and improved Sun Dome, and hears from USF President Judy Genshaft and Athletic Director Doug Woolard, who expressed some interesting thoughts about the possibility of an eventual on-campus football stadium.
You can visit the USF Sun Dome's website for information about upcoming events.

Folding chairs tend to be cast-offs, something you have for moments of desperation when more people are coming over to your house than your usual seating can fit.

Haven't stopped by Anthropologie in a while so did today and fell in love with these chairs. I set up our patio and porch furniture last weekend, ever hopeful actual heat would start here in the Northeast, only to be followed by a week of rain and 55-degree weather.

Well Couched
Stopped by Anthropologie (virtually of course) and thought I'd see what you all thought of these three sofas. Too, too much or dynamite? For me, the Ditte is the most likely. The others are tooooo wild. This first one, the Ditte, features upholstery by Fred Shand. Price is $3998. What about this bold poppy floral […] [Read More]
Mirror, Mirror …
on the wall. Which one of these from Anthropologie is the fairest of all? What do you think? I'm torn between the reflecting pool and the Porte Dauphine…. The reflecting pool mirror is made of weathered ceramic tiles, in hues of rose and fern, on a mango wood frame. It's 12″ square and each is […] [Read More]
Our Anthropologie Fix
Stopped by Anthropologie to see what was what and fell in love with a bunch of these cups. While I'm mostly a mug kind of gal, these cups made me consider other options. They had me at the design and colors. Love them. All. What about you? Any grab your fancy? They run in the […] [Read More]

8800 gtx _very_ slow in 2d apps
1 Attachment(s)
Hi, my 8800 gtx is performing very bad at 2d applications.
Scrolling in Firefox is very slow.
Using Inkscape or Gimp results in 100% cpu when just moving around simple graphics.
Using 2d app x and doing simple task y -> 100% cpu
The 3d acceleration is working fine though.
I have tried every available driver that works with 8800 gtx (including the new beta), Xorg 7.1 and 7.2 , kernels 2.6.(16 & 17 & 19 & 20 & 21)
Gentoo amd64 (have tried with Ubuntu amd64, same problem)
Evga 680i
Core 2 Duo e6600
Gainward 8800 gtx
Attaching nvidia-bug-report.log. Look at the "cat /proc/mtrr" - it doesn't look very good
Another thing that doesn't work properly is cpu interrupts, ("cat /proc/interrupts"). I doubt it has anything to do with the gfx-card. But if anyone know the solution I would be glad to hear it.
If anyone have the solution to this I will be forever thankful!
Re: 8800 gtx _very_ slow in 2d apps
I'm not happy with the 2D performance of mine either on Ubuntu feisty. My 7800GTX was much faster. My work computer is running Ubuntu Dapper with a 7900GS and it's faster :(

Re: 8800 gtx _very_ slow in 2d apps
sorry, double.
Re: 8800 gtx _very_ slow in 2d apps
Same problem but with a ti4200.
No resolution in site, have tried many drivers.
Resizing windows = video lag
Minimizing / maximizing windows = video lag
This is a NVIDIA problem.

Sales Interview
I applied through other source. The process took 3 days – interviewed at Vanguard Investments Australia (Scottsdale, AZ) in November 2007.
Initial screening took place in the form of a one-on-one interview following a career-fair solicitation.
Next step was a *detailed* phone interview.
Final step was a full-day recruitment event which consisted of presentations by employees, meetings, one on one behavioral interviews, a panel interview, and a luncheon. The day culminated in a group discussion by the applicants.
Although it was deceptively casual, everyone you meet is watching you *very* carefully for undesireable traits. Some staff seemed rather unfriendly and elitist, but most were down to earth and professional. Be advised, vanguard wants a LOT of information about its applicants. The usual (cover letters, resumes) as well as college transcripts, high school transcripts, writing samples, references).
Interview Questions
- It went something like this: a client is currently recieving several different monthly statements for various services they are using. The client has asked you whether you can compile these statements into one, easy to read, monthly statement. Doing so is not a normal service, and would result in a significant time cost, however the client is a longstanding one and has provided a lot of revenue for the company. The client is annoyed with the status quo, but is unlikely to take their business elsewhere if their request is denied. What is your response? Answer Question
