Creatures from the Encanto Lagoon
File it under trickle-down benefit: Among the many aftereffects of the Encanto Park renovation is a cleaner lagoon. Observers say the fish who live there like it better.
The recent renovation of the city's most parklike park, which occurred over a period of almost two years and at a cost of more than $4 million, produced many noticeable changes. Lighting was improved, pathways were paved, parking was added. Kiddieland and the bandshell were leveled and have yet to make a reappearance. But the pond and its canals got a rehab, and they sparkle. An aeration system and two artificial waterfalls were installed, and canal walls and floor were shored up. For urban fish finders, the Encanto Park lagoon has become the home of whoppers.
So says Bill Carson, a rod 'n' reel veteran who's been hanging his line in Encanto's 7.5 acres of waterways for years. He was spied recently in a familiar spot, planted in a lawn chair just east of the boathouse.
"One day a couple of weeks ago, I took me just an hour and twenty minutes to catch my limit, and usually it takes three or four hours," says Carson, age seventy, who spends about three mornings a week fishing at Encanto while his wife does volunteer work at a nearby hospital. "I usually catch my limit. Anything beats sitting home and watching the idiot box."
Asked the average size of fish he'd been hooking recently, Carson, without winking, holds his hands about a foot apart. "I had some of these fish for dinner the other day," he says, drawling a little. "Put them in the oven and baked them. They was fine."
The Arizona Game and Fish Department administers urban-fishing programs in Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa, Tempe, and Tucson. It issues licenses (cost: $12 per year), stocks the ponds at several parks (Encanto gets a load of trout or catfish every two weeks) and patrols the banks of the ponds in search of unlicensed fishermen. The daily limit at Encanto, as set by Game and Fish, is four trout and four catfish. It is the opinion of Bill Watt, an urban-fisheries biologist with the state, that anglers like Carson are noticing the effects of the new stocking program rather than reaping the direct benefits of a happier and healthier fish population because of improved living conditions. "There wasn't a regular stocking program there before," he says.
The cleaner water does nothing at all for the fish? "That's a difficult question. I just don't have the data on that," Watt says, launching into a detailed explanation of the benefits of aeration on a pond like Encanto's, including information on the effects of temperature stratification on photosynthesis and other stuff. "Typically," he concludes, "air injection will not hurt a lake, it will only help it." On the morning New Times caught up with him, Carson was doing his research in the field. A tackle box sat open at his feet--"I got a smorgasbord in here," Carson says--and a talk show played on a small radio there. Carson was using gobs of cheese-like commercial gunk for trout bait. "It looks like cheese, but it don't smell like it," he says. "The trout like it. When they're biting, they hit everything you throw out. Salmon eggs, worms, everything.

|Articles - May 2013
|Monday, April 29, 2013
A South Carolina native, biologist Jennifer Fox, Ph.D., followed research opportunities to Tulane University, Northwestern and, eventually, the University of Oregon, where her work focused on drug resistance in breast cancer. In 2008 she moved to the Oregon Translational Research and Development Institute (OTRADI), a nonprofit that helps scientists fund and execute advanced bioscience research. Now, as OTRADI's new executive director, 39-year-old Fox will oversee a 13,000-square-foot business incubator hosting startups like Aronora, a researcher of cardiovascular drugs, and AbSci, which is developing an antibody production technology. Oregon Business caught up with Fox as the organization prepared to move into its new space in Portland's South Waterfront district. There OTRADI hopes to entice more venture capital in a sector known for its robust growth and high-paying jobs.
OB: Commercial real estate firm Jones Lang LaSalle recently ranked U.S. regions with the largest bioscience presence. Seattle came in 10th. No Oregon city made the list. What makes Portland a good place for investment in this field?
Major research universities and talent. We have a place like OHSU that's one of the largest employers in Portland and has a great deal of grant funding for research products. If we don't create the kind of ecosystem that fosters that and keeps that within the state, we see what's happened in the past — a product gets to a certain stage and then gets pulled down to California or up to Seattle.
OB: Why is that?
It takes so long for them to get products through the FDA approval process — about 12 years from start to stop to get from an idea to a drug stage, and they say $30 million on average. A lot of times companies — Aronora is a good example — get a product to a certain position by writing their own grants. But you get to the stage they call the "valley of death," where you need a great deal more money and deeper pockets to get the drug all the way through the approval process. That's when you partner with, perhaps, a larger company. That's something we can help them do as well.
OB: Other industries already benefit from business accelerators hosted by Oregon universities, nonprofits and even Nike. What other resources unique to bioscience companies will OTRADI offer?
Our incubator is going to have specialized equipment for bioscience, which is cost limiting to a small bioscience company. You're not going to want to build out your own laboratory with a fume hood and a tissue-culture hood and giant robots and machinery that you might need to get the work done. We will have that available in the shared facility, and have people here with the expertise to teach people how to use these pieces of equipment.
OB: What supporting industries could also benefit from a growing bioscience cluster?
In Oregon people would say our main strength is medical-device technologies or diagnostics. And those aren't pharmaceutical drugs; those are actual you-can-put-your-hands-on-them products. So you could have materials. You could have medicinal chemistry. You've got companies across the state that are working on the reagents and the ingredients that scientists use to promote their research, and they like to be near companies that are engaged in this.
OB: Do you ever miss working in the lab now that you're surrounded by emerging companies and promising research?
I do miss my research. But the great thing about working at OTRADI is having a new line on different topics and different areas all the time. Someone might come in who's interested in cancer, or hormone signaling, or endocrine disruption, or anything that I've done in my past, and it's great. But someone might come in with something completely new. It's a challenge and it's been great. It's never boring.

Oregon's roads are crumbling, and revenues from state and local gas taxes are not sufficient to pay for improvements. We asked readers if the private sector should help fund transportation maintenance and repairs. Research partner CFM Strategic Communications conducted the poll of 366 readers in February.
Reader comments:
"I feel private enterprises are capable of operating at a higher efficiency than state government."
"This has been used in Oregon since the mid-1800s. It is not a new financing method. This form of financing may help Oregon close its infrastructure deficit by leveraging funds."

A Soft Day in Donegal
... Donegal Castle, did a bit of retail therapy (sometimes just to get out of the showers) and walked back to the hotel at about 4pm. Light tea of tapas and shared pizza filled us back up and we rolled off to bed. Quirky fact of the day: if the menu says satay sauce that is Irish for peanut paste. Title explanation: in Ireland they call it a soft day when the day is mild, showery and with little or no ...
What a great choice
... and there is a statue in the town. Bundoran, just down the road is a more touristy resort, whereas Killybegs on the way up to the cliffs is a proper fishing port, if you fancy a fish supper.
The roads are good riding, and there are many strange things to see on the way round this area. There is some great surfing to be had, and a huge beach at Murvagh which was almost deserted.
After a day ...

Great nights sleep :-) lovely breakfast at the hotel. Tried some frIed black pudding. Didn't really impress me much. Packed the bus under grey skies with patches of blue and left the hotel at 9am and headed west. Warmish weather today with the locals wearing everything from shorts and t-shirts to coats and scarves. Without repeating the cliche but everything is green in Ireland and there are still a ...

The heritage society has done an awesome job making it safe for people to visit and the posters recreating how it would have looked are a great addition.

COMMENTARY: Smart Technology Spans New Categories
by Reyne Rice, trend hunter, toy trend expert, industry analyst, and consultant
Smart tech for kids is no longer buzzword lingo. It has become a reality and has grown to encompass so much more than just technology added to toys to make them interesting or "tech-y." Today, kids' technology-enhanced products offer engaging and explorative play patterns that span a wide spectrum of categories. And while there are new technologies being used in these toys, the thrill is in the play experience, not in the technology itself. New technology enhances and extends play patterns way beyond how kids were playing in past decades. Plus, parents, older siblings, caregivers, and educators are all using new technology that companies are translating into toys and tech products for kids' worldwide.

Gilbert Melendez waited patiently for years to finally compete in the UFC and prove whether or not he was indeed the best 155-pound fighter in the world.
He finally got that opportunity on Saturday when he faced UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson in the UFC on Fox 7 main event at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, Calif.
Melendez set the pace early, while the middle rounds went to Henderson. Melendez battled back, winning the final round on two of the three cageside judges' scorecards, but it wasn't enough. Henderson was declared the winner by split decision, although Melendez felt he did enough to win the fight.
"It was a tough fight. I really thought I got (rounds) one, two, lost three, four. I thought I definitely did enough to win the fifth, and I thought I won three to two," said Melendez following the loss during the UFC Post Show on Fuel TV.
As the scores were being read, Melendez expected to have his hand raised.
"I really thought so. He walked forward. I walked forward. When I walked forward I think I did bigger attacks, and I thought I landed cleaner punches. He hit me, but they were all on the forehead. I left him pretty bloody, I think. He has some really good kicks. Again, I thought I won (rounds) one, two. I can see him winning the three and four, but I thought I came strong in the fifth and stole the fight," he said.
"I've got to watch the tape. Benson is a stud. He's a tricky guy to hit. He's very tough to hit," said Melendez about the champion.
Melendez is left pondering the what-ifs now, what could have been.
"It was my chance to try and take it more and I didn't. I just felt like I had the first two rounds, and I felt like I kind of kept it in the bank for the fifth. That was the game plan. I knew I lost the third and the fourth. I really saved it for the fifth. I felt like I looked tired in the fourth, but I thought I looked way more energetic in the fifth, and I thought he looked a lot more tired," he said.
"I'm just heartbroken right now."

Identification of the mechanisms leading to malignant transformation of respiratory cells may prove useful in the prevention and treatment of tobacco-related lung cancer. Nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) and N′-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) can induce tumors both locally and systemically. In addition to the genotoxic effect, they have been shown to affect lung cells due to ligating the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) expressed on the plasma membrane. In this study, we sought to establish the role for nAChRs in malignant transformation caused by NNK and NNN. We used the BEP2D cells that represent a suitable model for studying the various stages of human bronchial carcinogenesis. We found that these cells express α1, α3, α5, α7, α9, α10, β1, β2, and β4 nAChR subunits that can form high-affinity binding sites for NNK and NNN. Exposure of BEP2D cells to either NNK or NNN in both cases increased their proliferative potential which could be abolished in the presence of nAChR antagonists α-bungarotoxin, which worked most effectively against NNK, or mecamylamine, which was most efficient against NNN. The BEP2D cells stimulated with the nitrosamines showed multifold increases of the transcription of the PCNA and Bcl-2 genes by both real-time polymerase chain reaction and in-cell western assays. To gain a mechanistic insight into NNK- and NNN-initiated signaling, we investigated the expression of genes encoding the signal transduction effectors GATA-3, nuclear factor-κB, and STAT-1. Experimental results indicated that stimulation of nAChRs with NNK led to activation of all three signal transduction effectors under consideration, whereas NNN predominantly activated GATA-3 and STAT-1. The GATA-3 protein-binding activity induced by NNK and NNN correlated with elevated gene expression. The obtained results support the novel concept of receptor-mediated action of NNK and NNN placing cellular nAChRs in the center of the pathophysiologic loop, and suggest that an nAChR antagonist may serve as a chemopreventive agent.

Joshua Davis survives a scare, advances to the top eight
Joshua Davis took a risk this week on "The Voice," and it paid off Tuesday night as the singer advanced into the top eight. Davis sang "Hold Back the River," written by English singer/songwriter James Bay, on Monday's telecast. Last week, Davis set aside his acoustic guitar to focus on singing. This week he traded it in for an electric version — a Fender Telecaster. He began, however, with the guitar slung behind him, standing on a raised platform that jutted out into the audience.Read more Read it in print

Patented Apr. 14, 1896..
' l/V mm Zl/L'Zlianv (Iliynfiwm UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 558,291, dated April 14, 1896. Application filed September 21,1895. Serial No. 563,199. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM CLIFFORD LYNHAM, a citizen of the United States, residing at Richmond, in the county of I-Ienrico and State of Virginia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Means for Binding and Suspending Packages of Paper Bags; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which formapart of this specification.
This invention relates to new and improved means for binding paper bags into bundles or packages and for providing means for suspending or hanging said packages ready for use.
A further object of inyinvention is to pro-' vide a cheap and simple means for securing bags into packages and at the same time provide a novel and efficient means for supporting an advertising card or cards, so that said cards will not be disturbed by the removal of the bags from time to time by the consumer.
Finally, the invention further consists in so arranging and suspending the packages of bags that the lower or bottom edges of the same will be on an upward incline, as shown in Figure 4., so thatasingle bag may be more easily and readily caught hold of when it is desired to detach the same from the package.
To'tllese ends my invention consists in the novel features of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter described, and more definitely pointed out in the claims.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will now proceed to describe the same in detail, reference being made for this purpose to the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a'perspective view of a package of bags secured together in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a perspective View of the bag-holding means and illustrating also the manner of retaining an advertising-card. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the suspending loops or eyes; and Fig. at is a modification of my invention, showing the manner of constructing an d arranging the suspending loops or eyes in order that the package of bags may be caused to hang on an incline, so as to be more easily and readily caught hold of. Fig. 5 is a side View of the binding-rod, hanging plates, and advertising-card, the parts being assembled.
Referring now to the drawings, the reference-numeral 1 indicates a package of paper bags, through the upper central portion of which is pierced or driven a wire nail or other suitable binder 2, and the end of said nail is then bent over or clinched, as desired.
The reference-numeral 3 designates ahanging loop or eye, one of which is arranged at either side of the package of bags by being threaded upon the wire nail 2. The said hanger loops or eyes are preferably stamped from thin sheet metal, such as tin, and each is constructed with an enlarged or widened central portion, which gradually tapers or decreases in width toward the top, said top portion being preferably rounded, so there will be no sharp corners that would be likely to catch into the clothes or other places.
Through the upper half or portion of the hanger-loop is stamped or otherwise formed an elongated slot 4:, by which the package is suspended, as illustrated in Fig. 1. Immediately below the widened portion of the hangerloop is formed a narrow depending tongue 5, so arranged as to provide a shoulder 6 between the upper portion of the depending tongue and the widened part of the hanger, said shoulder being adapted to retain an advertisingcard or plate '7. The advertising card or plate is provided at either side with a slit or cut corresponding in width to the depending tongue 5 and through which the latter is passed. In this manner an advertising-card can be easily and readily attached to each package of bags as they are put up, and owing to the fact that the slits in the card are only as wide as the depending tongues, and, furthermore, that the hanger-loops are provided with shoulders just above the tongues, said card cannot become accidentally displaced from the package and will remain in place until and after all the bags of the package have been removed. Through the lower portion of the depending tongue is also formed an orifice into which passes the binding nail or wire 2, said nail being bent over or clenched after having passed through the package and hanger. It is also desirable to arrange advertising-cards 8 upon the back and front of the package, and this can be done by simply threading the same upon the wire nail at the time the package is formed. Cards arranged in this manner upon the binding wire or nail will not be disturbed by the withdrawal or removal of the bags, but, to the contrary, will always remain in view displaying its advertisement.
In the modification of my invent-ion as illustrated in Fig. 4 of the drawings I have disclosed a means, without departing from the spirit of this invention, by which the bottom of the package when hung up or suspended will assume a somewhat inclined position from front to rear, so that the front bag will always hang a little lower than the one next to it, and in this manner no difficulty whatever will be experienced in withdrawing a single bag at atime when desired. In order to accomplish this manner of hanging the packages, it is simply necessary to make the top portion of the front loop or hanger somewhat longer than the rear one, as shown in the drawings, in which case the slot will likewise be longer than the slot in the rear hanger, so that when a hook or holder 0 is passed through the said slots in the hangers it will not find support in the front hanger until the bottom of the package has assumed an inclined position, as will be readily understood. It will be obvious that the same result would be accomplished by making bot-h hangers of the same size and simply arranging one of the slots nearer to the top of the hanger than the slot in the other hanger.
In putting up the bags in packages the tongues of the hangers are passed through the slits in the advertising-card 7, and a similar advertising-card is placed upon the front and rear of the package of bags, after which the top card, with the hangers attached, is fitted to the top of the package, so that the depending tongues will come on each side thereof and directly over the front and rear cards. The whole thing is then put into a press, and with one operation the binding wire or nail is stamped or pierced through the hangers, advertising-cards, and package of bags, and at the same time clenched or headed at its piercing end.
It will thus be seen that by my present invention I have provided a simple device for binding paper bags into bundles orpackages, and at the same time offered an easy, simple, and advantageous way of securing advertising-cards to such package in its completed form.
\Vhat I claim is-- 1. The combination with a package of paper bags or the like, of a rod passed through the upper portion of the bags, a slotted plate or hanger mounted upon the rod at each end, and shoulders or projections on said plates or hangers, said shoulders being adapted to retain an advertising-card when the same is carried by the plates or hangers, substantially as described.
2. The combination with a package of bags, of a binder passing through the top portion of said package, a slotted hanger arranged at each end of said binder and each provided with a shoulder or shoulders and a depending tongue, and an advertising-card threaded upon the depending tongues and retained in position upon the top of the package by said shoulders, substantially as described.
3. The combination with a package of pa per bags or the like, of a binding rod or wire passed through the upper portion of said package, and a slotted hanging plate mounted upon each end of the binding-rod, the slot in one of said hanging plates extending upward a greater distance than the slot in the other plate so that when the package is suspended from a support passed through the slots in said hangers the bottom of the package will hang on an incline, substantially as described.
4:. The combination witha package of bags, of a binding-rod passing through the top portion of said package, a slotted hanger-plate arranged at each end of said rod and each provided with a shoulder or shoulders and a depending tongue, upon which latter an advertising-card is supported, the slot in one of said plates being longer than that in the other so that when the package is suspended from a rigid support passed through said slots the bottom of the package of bags will hang on an incline, as and for the purpose described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

It seems that the charge of racism is really all the liberals have left to throw at us. I find it weak, pathetic, and disgustingly poor form. Apparently, we disagree with Obama, because we're racist; and we adore Herman Cain, because we're racist. On MSNBC Friday afternoon:
"One of the things about Herman Cain is, I think that he makes that white Republican base of the party feel okay, feel like they are not racist because they can like this guy. I think he is giving that base a free pass. And I think they like him because they think he's a black man who knows his place. I know that's harsh, but that's how it sure seems to me."
Exit question: Who stands to benefit from keeping racism alive in this country?
