ELON, N.C. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team let the lead slide away down the stretch and fell 70-60 in overtime to Elon in Southern Conference action Monday night at Alumni Gym. The Lady Mocs fall to 10-3 overall and 3-1 in league play while the Phoenix move to 6-7 on the year and 3-1 in conference action.
After grabbing the lead late in the first half, Chattanooga was never out front by more than six points throughout the second. Elon scored seven straight points over a four-minute stretch in the final five to take its first lead, 56-55 with 58 seconds to play on a layup by Kelsey Evans. Chattanooga junior Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.) hit a layup and junior Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) hit the second of two free throws to put the Lady Mocs back up 58-56 with 21.4 seconds on the clock.
With nine seconds to play, Elon's Sam Cofer missed a jumper, but Evans was there for the put back to tie it up 58-58 with seconds to play. Chattanooga senior Kayla Christopher's (Oliver Springs, Tenn.) last second shot fell short and the Lady Mocs faced its first overtime of the year.
In overtime, the Phoenix connected on five of their six free throw attempts in overtime to get out to a 63-58 lead with 2:07 to play. Dewart's layup was Chattanooga's lone score of the bonus period and Elon got seven more points in the final minutes for the win.
Dewart led the Lady Mocs with 20 points, her sixth game this season with 20 or more points, and just missed a double-double with nine rebounds. She was 8-of-18 from the field and 4-of-9 from the charity stripe. Christopher scored 15 points, all in the first half, to move to a tie with Nancy Smith (1987-91) for 19th on the all-time scoring charts. She was 6-of-13 from the field and 3-of-6 from beyond the arc.
Senior Kylie Lambert (Etowah, Tenn.) had eight points, seven rebounds, tied her career-high with six assists and set a career mark with seven steals. Black had eight points, three rebounds and two assists for the Lady Mocs.
After shooting 43.3 percent (13-30) in the first half, Chattanooga's offensive output went down in the second making just 8-of-30 from the floor and 1-of-8 in overtime. The Lady Mocs were 6-of-25 from beyond the arc led by Christopher's three, and 10-of-21 from the free throw line.
Elon outrebounded Chattanooga 47-40 with the Lady Mocs holding a 19-13 advantage on the offensive boards. However, the Phoenix edged UTC 17-16 on second chance points. In the paint Elon outscored Chattanooga 26-22 and got six points from its bench to Chattanooga's four. UTC forced 20 Elon turnovers and scored 16 points to the Phoenix' 11 on 13 Chattanooga miscues.
Elon was 27-of-61 on the night (44.3%) and 5-of-13 from beyond the arc while making 11-of-15 from the free throw line. Ali Ford led all scorers with 21 points on 7-of-15 shooting, 3-of-7 from the 3-point line and 4-of-5 from the free throw line while dishing out four assists and turning the ball over eight times. Evans was 7-of-16 and had 19 points and 21 rebounds with five blocked shots. Kelsey Harris was the third Elon player in double figures with 14 points and four rebounds.

Will keep us together
So I can honestly say
That as far as I'm concerned,
It's a lovely day and everything's OK.
- Irving Berlin
Whoosh! The wintry cold weather sweeps in, a Siberian caress, an Arctic clutch, a frosty kiss across my skin sending shivers racing through my body. Sun, glorious sun arises bright and early showing off the shimmering glaze of ice atop the building facing our own. Weeks of dim, gray misery melt away and the stunning light and the sharp, crisp cold invigorate, energize and excite this Florida girl in love with winter.
Scurrying back home from the market yesterday morning in positively glacial temperatures, we came to the conclusion that the best place to thoroughly enjoy this marvelous weather was indoors, huddled together, cooking, baking, sipping steamy mugs of coffee and working. Our old, rambling apartment is quite as chilly inside as out and tapping on a keyboard, no gloves feasible, is only a few notches warmer which of course means plenty of meet-ups in the coziness of the kitchen. The last of the Galette des Rois was joyously snatched up and eaten standing, leaning over the platter, divided between my happy menfolk, and it would soon be time to bake again. Our market basket yielded a bounty of goodness, a pristine white cauliflower cupped in curls of gentle, soft green meant to be transformed into an old-fashioned gratin, the snowy flowerets bathed in creamy béchamel and dusted with cheese; peppery endive, so innocent in their pale beauty, so cool and calm, all innocence harboring their devilish bite, to be wrapped in thick, rosy slices of herb-flecked ham and blanketed in yet more cheesy béchamel – oooh do you see the decadence this cold weather is luring us into? Thick, pale, glistening veal chops the color of pink champagne, paired with a tumble of plump milky champignons still heady with the dark, moist earth clinging to their stumps; and apples, red and green, the colors of Christmas, crisp and sweet-tart, the perfect apples for serving silky smooth, drenched in butter, meltingly sautéed, atop those chops à la normande.
And oranges. But more about that in a bit.
Yes, we tripped home with a basket overflowing, a cornucopia of delicious, wintry nourishment. White on white, the theme of this effervescent month of January. And lucky am I that husband is content and at home in the kitchen, maybe even more so than I, and happy he is to stand over the stove and twiddle and play and concoct one rich, luxurious, delicious, comforting dish after another. As we say chez nous, it keeps him off the streets… Which leaves me free to bake.
So many bewail the icy month of January, the month after the glory, the upheaval, the bustle and joy of the December holidays. January is the calm after the storm, and don't we feel just a bit let down? We finally slow down, catch our breath and glance up and notice the now bare trees, trees naked and brown once the gaudy, flashy, gaily-colored lights and shiny baubles have been taken down and returned to their secret hideaways to slumber away the rest of the year. We see the leaden skies and feel the chill and damp that seeps down to our very bones. January is the month we tighten our belt, count the calories, undo the damage done during the festivities and get back to work. Yawn….nothing ever seems to happen in this long, dreary, cold month of January. We tend towards lethargy; listless and sluggish, we bundle up in layer upon layer to battle the drop in temperature and drag ourselves from task to task, no pleasure in the thought of the long month of January lying ahead of us until February arrives and the anticipation of St. Valentine's Day begins to brighten our outlook. Yes, the grumbling and grousing, the kvetching and complaining about the month of January rings loud and clear across the blogosphere.
Well, I beg to differ. I love the month of January. We coast from Hannukah and Christmas filled with food and presents through the Champagne celebrations of the New Year all the way through this glorious month straight towards my birthday! I love the nearly unbearable cold and the Florida girl in me begs and prays for snow each and every year. The temperature drops, the sky takes on that mysterious misty-gray hue that presages the coming of snowy days and nights and husband glides through the month gleefully dropping hints, jokingly teasing me about the arrival of the big day and using it to get me to do his bidding. Yes, after the money spent on holiday gifts, there is precious little left for a fancy birthday do, but there is always something special, something to please.
The Ice Queen may reign with her frozen heart, cruel and harsh, yet there is something so regal about this frosty, shivery month cloaked in a mist of silver and mystery. I refuse to jump on the bandwagon of bad-mouthing the first month of the year. The cold actually adds vibrancy to our activity and we push forward with our work and our plans. Clem is designing his first house, Simon is happily ensconced in his Milanese life, the art, the opera, the office, JP pulls together the plans for a brilliant project idea, and I, as we all know by now, write and write and write. You see, unlike the rest of Europe, we neither ski nor snowboard; we don't skate or dogsled; we have never once been ice fishing and although once a very long time ago we dreamed of taking the kids and heading north for a week in Lapland and yet another time we thought of going all Hurtigruten and taking a romantic winter cruise along the coast of Norway, but we did neither. Instead we hunker down and prepare for the long, hard slog through January, February and even March from our home in Nantes; we watch poor Marty grow despairingly bald as he does every winter; we continue to and make plans and we simply enjoy each other's company.
- Robert Frost
And, ah, the oranges. Now where do they fit in? As December and January roll around, as winter settles in I begin to crave citrus. Maybe it is the blast of vitamin C, maybe it is the refreshing juice and the bite of a tart clementine or a satisfyingly bitter tang of a grapefruit that helps me battle the cold, but I actually think it is nostalgia. Growing up a stone's throw from the Indian River, citrus capital of the world (as far as I am concerned), our every winter, whether chilly or mild, was filled with citrus: large brown paper bags carefully saved from trips to the supermarket were filled with quantities of grapefruit white and pink, tangerines and navals and eaten like popcorn. Winter just wasn't winter without our citrus fruit collected straight from the orchards just over the bridge. So now, the arrival of winter comes hand-in-hand with a craving, a need for juicy oranges, tart grapefruits and bags upon bags of clementines.
And for some odd reason, I have been pairing orange and chocolate, that ideal marriage, over and over again and we cannot get enough: from Nigella's Chocolate Orange Cake to dense, gooey Orange and Chocolate Brownies, from a swirl of bitter orange marmalade in heavenly bittersweet chocolate ganache to fill my chocolate macarons to a glorious Grand Marnier Bundt drenched under a glaze of Chocolate Ganache, orange and chocolate have become a signature pairing, a duet creating beautiful music. And when my darling friend Lora the Cake Duchess declared the month of January #citruslove month, well, I really couldn't resist, now could I? And Madeleines it was! I made one bowl of Orange Grand Marnier Madeleine batter and one of Chocolate Grand Marnier batter and combined the two to create these fabulous marbled Madeleines: light and delicate while being incredibly moist, tender and flavorful. What a way to face the month of January.

Adapted from recipes in Madeleines et Financiers by Thomas Feller
Combined, make 24 x 3" large Madeleines + 40 x 1 ½" mini Madeleines.
Makes 12 large + 20 mini or 30 mini Madeleines
2 large eggs
10 Tbs (140 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature + more for the molds
½ cup + 2 Tbs + 2 tsps (140 g) granulated sugar
½ an orange, preferably untreated or organic
2 Tbs Grand Marnier
a pinch of salt
scant ¾ cup (100 g) flour
Clean and dry the half an orange; finely grate the zest and squeeze the juice. Separate the eggs, placing the whites with a few grains of salt in a very clean bowl, preferably plastic or metal. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with the sugar until well blended and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, the orange zest and juice, the Grand Marnier and a pinch of salt until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the flour and beat in just until combined and smooth.
Using very clean beaters, whip the whites until firm (but not stiff) peaks hold when the beaters are lifted. Fold the whipped whites into the Madeleine batter until completely blended in and no more white is visible. The batter should be thick and completely smooth.
Set aside.

2 large eggs
10 Tbs (140 g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature + more for the molds
½ cup + 2 Tbs + 2 tsps (140 g) granulated sugar
½ tsp vanilla
2 Tbs Grand Marnier *
scant ¾ cup (100 g) flour
1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder
a pinch of salt
* if making the chocolate Madeleines on their own, the Grand Marnier can be replaced with 2 or 3 tablespoons prepared coffee or espresso or 2 tablespoons of another liqueur such as Amaretto, Limoncello or Kahlua.
Separate the eggs, placing the whites with a few grains of salt in a very clean bowl, preferably plastic or metal. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl and using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter with the sugar until well blended and fluffy. Beat in the egg yolks, the vanilla, the Grand Marnier and a pinch of salt until smooth. Scrape down the sides of the bowl, add the flour and the cocoa powder and beat in just until combined and smooth.
Using very clean beaters, whip the whites until firm (but not stiff) peaks hold when the beaters are lifted. Fold the whipped whites into the Madeleine batter until completely blended in and no more white is visible. The batter should be thick and completely smooth.
Prepare the Madeleines:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly butter the indentations in your Madeleine molds/tins.
Prepare the two batters. Spoon equal parts batter – or one or the other – into the indentations not coming up higher than the edges of the indentations. You can marble the two batters by cutting a sharp knife through the two colors.
Place in the preheated oven and bake: about 10 minutes for the mini Madeleines and 15 or 20 for the large Madeleines. Remove the tins from the oven when the center of each Madeleine is set and puffed (slightly – with this recipe don't expect huge, classic humps in the center) and the edges are golden. Allow the Madeleines to cool for a minute or two in the tins on cooling racks before popping them out, one by one, using the point of a sharp knife and a gentle hand.
Repeat with cooled tins and the rest of the batter.

Tufts Animal Care and Condition Scales
The Tufts Animal Care and Condition (TACC) Scales were developed in 1997 by Dr. Gary Patronek, with assistance from Lori Donley, MS '97, the Fort Wayne Dept. of Animal Care and Control, and the Law Enforcement Division of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals to help cruelty investigators and veterinarians assess cases of animal abuse or neglect that are primarily related to husbandry, as opposed to deliberate acts of cruelty.
Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium
The site aims to bring together the work of HARC as well as credible resources from throughout the U.S. to help you better understand the phenomenon of animal hoarding, its impact on individuals and communities, and its sentinel role for elder abuse and neglect, child abuse and neglect, and adult self-neglect.

You may have a kidney biopsy and other tests. These will help your doctor determine:
What the cancer cells look like under a microscope, called the grade of the cancer
The size of the tumor and how far the disease has spread, called its stage
Kidney cancer may be localized to one area but can spread to other parts of your body. Your treatment plan and prognosis depend on the stage and grade of your kidney cancer and other factors, such as your age and general health.
Grades of Kidney Cancer
The grade of your cancer is the terminology doctors use to describe how the cancer cells look. Knowing how the cells look will help your doctor predict how fast the cancer may grow and spread. Specifically, the grade refers to how the part of the cell where DNA is stored, called the nucleus, looks compared to normal kidney cells' nuclei. A scale of 1 to 4 is usually used to grade kidney cancers. The lower the number, the closer the cancer cells look like normal cells and the better the outlook, called the prognosis. That's because these cancers tend to grow and spread slowly. On the other hand, cancers with a grade 4 look very different from normal kidney cells. They have a worse prognosis.
Stages of Kidney Cancer
The stage of your cancer is the terminology doctors use to communicate the size of a tumor and where and how deeply it has spread. When you are diagnosed with kidney cancer, the doctor needs to know the type of kidney cancer you have and the stage the cancer is in.
The TNM System is a standard system for describing the extent of a cancer's growth. The International Union Against Cancer and the American Joint Committee on Cancer developed this system. Here's what the letters stand for in the TNM System:
T tells how much a tumor has spread into your kidneys and nearby areas.
N tells whether the lymph nodes in the area of the original tumor have become cancerous, and if so, how many.
M tells whether the cancer has spread to other, distant organs in the body, such as your lung, bones, or lymph nodes that are not near your kidneys.
Numerical values, from X to 3, are assigned to the T, N, and M categories. Once your oncologist has determined your T, N, and M stages, this information is put together in what is called stage grouping. Stage grouping is used to determine your overall disease stage. It is expressed in Roman numerals from I (the earliest stage) to IV (the most advanced stage). Here are the 4 stages of kidney cancer.
Stage I. The cancer is found only in the kidney, and it is 7 centimeters or less in diameter.
Stage II. The cancer is found only in the kidney, and the tumor is greater than 7 centimeters in diameter.
Stage III. In this stage, one of the following is true.
Cancer is in the kidney and in one nearby lymph node. (Lymph nodes are small bean-shaped structures that are found throughout the body. They produce and store infection-fighting cells.)
Cancer is in an adrenal gland or in the layer of fatty tissue around the kidney. (The adrenal gland, which is attached to the top of the kidney, produces certain hormones.) It may also be in one nearby lymph node.
Cancer is in the main blood vessels of the kidney or the large vein that the kidneys drain into, known as the vena cava. It may also be in one nearby lymph node.
Stage IV. In this stage, one of the following is true.
The cancer has spread outside the connective tissue covering of the kidney, known as Gerota's Fascia.
The cancer has spread to 2 or more nearby lymph nodes.
The cancer has spread to other organs, such as the bowel, pancreas, or lungs. It may also be found in nearby lymph nodes.
Recurrent. Recurrent cancer has come back after it has been treated. It may come back in the original area or in another part of the body.

- IL-2 stimulated but not unstimulated NK cells induce selective disappearance of peripheral blood cells: concomitant results to a phase I/II study (2011)
- In an ongoing clinical phase I/II study, 16 pediatric patients suffering from high risk leukemia/tumors received highly purified donor natural killer (NK) cell immunotherapy (NK-DLI) at day (+3) +40 and +100 post haploidentical stem cell transplantation. However, literature about the influence of NK-DLI on recipient's immune system is scarce. Here we present concomitant results of a noninvasive in vivo monitoring approach of recipient's peripheral blood (PB) cells after transfer of either unstimulated (NK-DLI(unstim)) or IL-2 (1000 U/ml, 9–14 days) activated NK cells (NK-DLI(IL-2 stim)) along with their ex vivo secreted cytokine/chemokines. We performed phenotypical and functional characterizations of the NK-DLIs, detailed flow cytometric analyses of various PB cells and comprehensive cytokine/chemokine arrays before and after NK-DLI. Patients of both groups were comparable with regard to remission status, immune reconstitution, donor chimerism, KIR mismatching, stem cell and NK-DLI dose. Only after NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) was a rapid, almost complete loss of CD56(bright)CD16(dim/−) immune regulatory and CD56(dim)CD16(+) cytotoxic NK cells, monocytes, dendritic cells and eosinophils from PB circulation seen 10 min after infusion, while neutrophils significantly increased. The reduction of NK cells was due to both, a decrease in patients' own CD69(−) NCR(low)CD62L(+) NK cells as well as to a diminishing of the transferred cells from the NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) with the CD56(bright)CD16(+/−)CD69(+)NCR(high)CD62L(−) phenotype. All cell counts recovered within the next 24 h. Transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) translated into significantly increased levels of various cytokines/chemokines (i.e. IFN-γ, IL-6, MIP-1β) in patients' PB. Those remained stable for at least 1 h, presumably leading to endothelial activation, leukocyte adhesion and/or extravasation. In contrast, NK-DLI(unstim) did not cause any of the observed effects. In conclusion, we assume that the adoptive transfer of NK-DLI(IL-2 stim) under the influence of ex vivo and in vivo secreted cytokines/chemokines may promote NK cell trafficking and therefore might enhance efficacy of immunotherapy.
- Efficient lysis of rhabdomyosarcoma cells by cytokine-induced killer cells : implications for adoptive immunotherapy after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (2010)
- Background: Rhabdomyosarcoma is the most common soft tissue sarcoma in childhood and has a poor prognosis. Here we assessed the capability of ex vivo expanded cytokine-induced killer cells to lyse both alveolar and embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines and investigated the mechanisms involved. Design and Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from six healthy donors were used to generate and expand cytokine-induced killer cells. The phenotype and composition of these cells were determined by multiparameter flow cytometry, while their cytotoxic effect against rhabdomyosarcoma cells was evaluated by a europium release assay. Results: Cytokine-induced killer cells efficiently lysed cells from both rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines. Antibody-mediated masking of either NKG2D molecule on cytokine-induced killer cells or its ligands on rhabdomyosarcoma cells (major histocompatibility antigen related chain A and B and UL16 binding protein 2) diminished this effect by 50%, suggesting a major role for the NKG2D molecule in rhabdomyosarcoma cell killing. No effect was observed after blocking CD11a, CD3 or TCRαβ molecules on cytokine-induced killer cells or CD1d on rhabdomyosar-coma cells. Remarkably, cytokine-induced killer cells used tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) to activate caspase-3, as the main caspase responsible for the execution of apoptosis. Accordingly, blocking TRAIL receptors on embryonic rhabdomyosarcoma cell lines significantly reduced the anti-tumor effect of cytokine-induced killer cells. About 50% of T cells within the cytokine-induced killer population had an effector memory phenotype, 20% had a naïve phenotype and approximately 30% of the cells had a central memory phenotype. In addition, cytokine-induced killer cells expressed low levels of activation-induced markers CD69 and CD137 and demonstrated a low alloreactive potential. Conclusions: Our data suggest that cytokine-induced killer cells may be used as a novel adoptive immunotherapy for the treatment of patients with rhabdomyosarcoma after allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

WACO (November 16, 2012) -- Ishmail Wainright, Dominic Woodson and Johnathan Motley have signed National Letters of Intent to play for Baylor men's basketball in 2013-14, head coach Scott Drew announced Friday.
Baylor's 2013-14 signing class is ranked No. 9 nationally by 247Sports.com and No. 12 by CBSSports.com and Rivals.com. It's Drew's fifth consecutive top-25 class, and Woodson and Wainright give Baylor 10 top-50 recruits in the last seven years.
"This class has the potential to end up being one of the best in the nation," Drew said. "We're very pleased and excited that they've chosen to be a part of Baylor University, and I know Baylor Nation is going to love getting to know them and cheering for them."
Wainright is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound small forward who attends Montrose Christian School in Rockville, Md. He is ranked No. 27 nationally by MaxPreps.com and No. 28 by ESPN.com. Originally from Raytown, Mo., Wainright is ranked the nation's No. 6 small forward in the 2013 signing class by ESPN.com.
"Ishmail is one of those hard-nosed competitors and leaders that everyone in basketball likes and respects," Drew said. "He's a versatile player and a playmaker that can play multiple positions, and he has a body that is ready to compete at the highest level right away."
Prior to transferring to Montrose Christian, Wainright averaged 13.6 points and 9.8 rebounds per game as a sophomore at Raytown (Mo.) South High School in 2010-11.
Woodson is a 6-foot-9, 290-pound center from Huntington (W.Va.) Prep. Originally from Round Rock, Texas, Woodson is ranked as the nation's No. 2 center in the 2013 class by Rivals.com, and he's No. 33 overall nationally by 247Sports.com.
"The Big 12 is a man's league, and Dominic has a man's body," Drew said. "Physically, he can match up with anyone in the country, and we're really excited to have him part of our family."
Woodson played his sophomore season at Round Rock (Texas) Stony Point High School, where he helped the Tigers to an 18-15 record as a sophomore.
Motley is a 6-foot-9, 205-pound power forward from Houston's North Shore High School. He's ranked No. 83 nationally by 247Sports.com and No. 105 by Rivals.com. Motley is ranked No. 17 at his position by both Scout.com and 247Sports.com.
"It's great to be able to keep the best players in Texas in the state, and Johnathan is one of those players who keeps getting better and better," Drew said. "His versatility and length make him very difficult to guard, and defensively, he can be a presence."
Motley averaged 12.4 points and 5.9 rebounds per game to lead North Shore to the Texas 5A Region 3 quarterfinals with a 32-4 record as a junior in 2011-12. He averaged 20.0 points and 8.3 rebounds in three playoff games for the Mustangs.
"All three of these student-athletes chose Baylor because they are men of strong Christian faith," Drew said. "Baylor is a great fit for all of them, and they'll represent the program well both on and off the court."
All three signees are high school seniors who will join the program in the fall of 2013 and will have four years of eligibility.

College of Law News
Willamette named "Best Value" law school
For the third straight year, Willamette University College of Law has been ranked a "Best Value law school" by PreLaw magazine. Of the 60 names on the list, Willamette was one of only three private schools.
The rankings take into account in-state tuition, debt load, bar passage and the percent of graduates employed nine months after graduation.
The College of Law was the only law school in Oregon on the "Best Value" list and was one of only two "honor roll" schools in California and the Pacific Northwest.
"In 2004 and 2007, there were a decent number of private schools on the honor roll," said Jack Crittenden, editor of PreLaw and National Jurist magazines. Noting that only three private schools remain on the honor role, Crittenden explained that "Private tuition has increased by too much to consider the [vast majority of private] schools a good value."
College of Law Dean Peter Letsou said, "We are very pleased to have once again earned a 'Best Value' designation. These challenging economic times make it especially important that we pay close attention not only to the quality of our program, but also to the cost. This honor demonstrates that we are achieving great success in both of those areas."
More detailed information about the rankings will appear in the print edition of PreLaw magazine this fall.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
Though it's next door to the convention center and largely geared toward business travelers, the InterContinental is also an excellent choice for vacationers looking for top-notch service, well-designed rooms, sumptuous bathrooms, and quality features at very competitive rates.
A gleaming, 32-story, 550-room, aquamarine tower, the InterContinental first opened on February 28, 2008; It still looks new. Inside, the cool colors, ornate grappa-centric bar, and an esteemed restaurant make it feel considerably sleeker and more modern than other, more historic InterContinentals around the country, such as the Barclay in New York City or the Willard in Washington D.C.
Due to its location near the Moscone West Convention Center, on a somewhat dreary stretch of Howard Street in SoMa, the hotel sees mostly business travlers, though just about anyone will find plenty to like about the hotel. The relatively spacious guest rooms include all the high-end comforts, such as Wi-Fi, cordless phones, iPod docks, big 42-inch flat-panel TVs with HD channels, and especially large marble bathrooms with separate tubs and standup showers (with two heads, no less). Plus, the higher floors offer stunning views of the San Francisco Bay or the city skyline and sell for a premium, naturally. Features outside the room are as impressive as the views. The 6th floor holds a lap pool, hot tub, a modern fitness center, and a highly praised 10-room spa. And the Michelin-star restaurant, Luce, just saw its chef, Dominique Crenn, appear on the Food Network's The Next Iron Chef.
In many respects, the InterContinental San Francisco looks and feels much more like the flashy W San Francisco (a five-minute walk away) than a stately business hotel its brand is better known for. In fact, the location, the quality of the rooms, the level of service, and the on-site features are about the same at both hotels. The only real difference between the InterContinental and the W lies in the W's more bumping nightlife scene. Of course, a party in the lobby can be seen as both an asset and a detriment -- it all depends on what time you plan to wake up the next morning.
Luxury-level service throughout
Service at the InterContinental shines, particularly for the price. You won't find the 24-hour butler service on offer at the nearby (and much more expensive) St. Regis, but conceriges and the front desk staff remember guests by name and the bell staff and doormen are always at the ready.
Next to the Moscone Convention Center in SoMa, about a 10-minute walk from shopping in Union Square and a long hike from kid-friendly Fisherman's Wharf
The neighboring blocks around the InterContinental were, until recently, populated with derelict buildings. Recent years have seen a profusion of new high-rise condos and corporate offices in the neighborhood. During the day, the streets are populated (though still sparsely) with tourists, students from the nearby Academy of Arts University, and locals who work neaby; at night and on the weekends, it's a ghost town. It is, however, close to Yerba Buena Gardens, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and other downtown attractions. Thirsty revelers willing to hoof it 10 or 15 minutes will find a suitable array of nightlife options -- including the rock bar New Wave City and gallery-cum-club 111 Minna.
Up-to-date electronics, comfortable and contemporary design, and sumptuous marble bathrooms make these some of the nicest rooms in San Francisco (especially for the price).
At 330 square feet, the standard rooms at the InterContinental aren't much bigger than the average hotel room in San Francisco, but their contemporary design, high-end electronics, and spacious bathrooms make them a good buy, particularly when rates are lower than they are at the nearby W.
A lap pool, large fitness center, and a spa -- for the price, it's hard to find this many high-quality features in the neighborhood.
The hotel is fine for families, but largely targets business travelers.
While there's no particular reason families wouldn't feel welcome here, the hotel largely targets business travelers. That said, the large guest rooms and suites are appealing, even if they're a bit far from the most popular kid-friendly sites around town, like Fisherman's Wharf. For a list of our favorite kid-friendly hotels in San Francisco, click here.
The hotel allows some pets.
While the InterContinental doesn't have a hotel dog like the Palomar or set out food and water bowls in the lobby, guests can bring along smaller pets.
As spotless as the day it opened
Not a thing out of place at the InterContinental; rooms are perfectly clean.
A Michelin-star restaurant with a well-known chef and the city's biggest selection of grappa
Luce restaurant was awarded a Michelin star three years consecutively for Chef Dominique Crenn's New American cuisine, including such house specialties as braised short ribs with haricot verts, roasted cipollini, and horseradish and roasted local organic chicken with slow-cooked egg, corn, and bacon bread salad. More recently, the Versailles-born chef was invited to participate in the Food Network series The Next Iron Chef. Adjacent to Luce on the ground level is Bar 888 -- after the hotel's number on Howard Street -- that's known for its outstanding selection of grappa, the stiff Italian liquor that's served up in ornate glasses or mixed into a variety of inventive cocktails.
Built in 2008 near the Moscone Convention Center in the business-oriented neighborhood of SoMa, the modern, 550-room InterContinental's luxury-level service, high-tech guest rooms, lap pool, well-reviewed spa, and Michelin-star restaurant make it one of the best values in San Francisco. But it's worth it to also check rates at the comparable W San Francisco.

My Pie Monday: Bottarga, Jumbo 'Jet', Bananas, and Much More!
There's a great selection of pies on this fine My Pie Monday! Between the Philadelphia tomato pie from Imwalkin, Mmmph's pizza in teglia, John Wozniak's L&B Spumoni-inspired pizza, Dhorst's fried pie, and dmcavanagh's Jet's-style pizza there's an entire appendix to the pizza style guide. Paul T sends us his first submission from his new wood fired oven. Others in the WFO oven club include TXCraig1, who features what has become for him "pizza crack," and RobynB, who sweetens things up with some cinnamon and sugar bananas. From the looks of Atmast's pie you'd think it comes from a WFO, but the spots her crust sports are the work of her electric oven. Girl Loves Pizza cooks up her BBQ chicken pie, a tried and true favorite and Amusebouche1 gives white bean basil hummus a try. Among the experiments this week, Norma conducts a Pepe's pizza throwdown, Jimmyg works some Kamut flour into his dough, and Flaksman fools around with hydration and oven configuration. More

Great high quality toy
By Yanochka
from Cleveland, oH
About Me Parent Of Multiples (Twins etc)
Comments about Super Sorting Pie 2:
My twin boys enjoy sorting the fruits. The tweezers seem a little too big for their hands, but I think it makes it a little more challenging for them and I like it. One of my boys is falling behind with his fine motor skills, his fingers are very weak. I purchased this toy in hope to strengthen his fingers and grip. He gets frustrated sometimes because his hands are so tiny and he has a very hard time picking up bananas and green beens, but I still keep incuriging him to try again. I don't keep this toy just laying around and I take it out to play 2-3 times a week in hope that they will not get bored with it too fast. We had this toy for may be 3 weeks or so and I already see that my boys got much better at picking up fruit and being able to hold it for a longer time. Very good toy to improve fine motor skills and strengthen the fingers.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

So Cute! Such a fun product to exercise those Fine Motor Skills!
Love this toy!
By Fairmaiden
from Canada
I first saw this toy at a kids' group I take my 2 year old to. There were 4 or 5 kids all trying to play with it at once - they all loved it! So I decided to purchase this toy for my daughter. My two daughters and I enjoy playing with the pie together, sorting it in all sorts of ways. I like to use it with my 6 year old and get her to create patterns with the colours and types of fruit.
Fantastic, but I need replacement parts
By DS
from Traverse City, MI
About Me First Time Parent
I love this sorting pie! The size, quality and detail of the fruit pieces are fantastic. This "game" is a big hit with both my 3 year old daughter and her 6 year old cousin. Unfortunately, a care-giver thought it would it be a good idea to let them play with the fruit in a water table but didn't dry the pieces before returning them to the pie pan. Consequently, the sorting cards stored in the bottom of the pan were ruined. Is there any way I can get replacement cards?
Merchant response: Hello- Please contact customer service at firstname.lastname@example.com and they can send you replacement cards. Thank you!
Brilliant for early numeracy skills
By Science Sparks
from UK
The quality of this is fantastic and the learning potential huge.The set comes with the pie itself, a removable inner part with 5 compartments, a lid, two tweezers, 60 fruits in 5 colours and 3 reversible inserts. The idea is that you sort the fruits by number, colour or type using the tweezers which are great for improving fine motor control and finger strength.
Great Educational Toy
By SPED Teacher

This is a great way for kids to learn sorting as well as counting. The tweezers offer a great way for kids to practice their fine motor skills. I love that it comes with a variety of cards for kids who are lower and higher.
Math Learning Made Fun!!
By BabyGearToday.com
from Sacramento, CA
About Me Education Oriented, Parent Of Two Or More Children, Stay At Home Parent
Math, to me, sometimes can be a bit boring, and there is only so long that you can keep counting on your fingers until you run out, even when you use the entire families hands!! The Super Sorting Pie can become so many different learning tools for us- I just love it!My favorite way to use it as a teacher is using it as a math manipulative. My daughter can use the pieces of fruit to add and subtract- it makes the numbers even more real when she sees me adding 2 bananas and 3 grapes. She just "gets it" a whole lot easier!! For my 3 year old, she uses it more as a pretend play item- making me fruit pies and trying to sell them to me, which I think is adorable, but she also is learning patterns, sorting, and number sense as well. Using the fruit pieces she can do very simple math – which I think is huge for a 3 year old!! The activity cards allow them to play several different engaging and educational games. This is one toy in our home that definitely is getting used daily, for play and for school
Great for developing fine motor skills
By JKing
from Southwest Missouri
About Me Education Oriented, Special needs parent
My son has Asperger's, and this toy is great for helping to develop his lacking fine motor skills. The tweezers are the perfect size and strength for small hands and the pieces are the appropriate size for picking up. It is great for introducing basic math and even helps to introduce simple fractions to younger children and is great with practicing more complex fractions with older children. This is also very sturdy, brightly colored, and unlike most of its sort (pun intended). Great product from a great company.Learning Resources provided a free product sample to facilitate this review. All opinions expressed are my own.

So Many Uses!
By Cher @ Mom and More
from Chicago, IL
This pie is adorable! It is a lot bigger than I expected, as is each of the fruit pieces. There are so many different uses for this pie that it is fun to see what my they come up with. There are tons of fruits (60 to be exact) that kids can match up and sort. There are two plastic tweezers included that are perfect for little kids hands. Once all done all the pieces fit nicely in the pie and you can close it up. It would be nice if the pie top snapped on to seal the pie shut as I am worried pieces will fall out, but at least it does cover it up. You can also use the pie top crust to put all the pieces in while sorting them. The Super Sorting Pie is perfect for kids to not only have fun but learn a few things too. My boys are 3 and 5 and think its cool. I will say it is definitely not for kids younger than 3 if they are still putting stuff in their mouths, as the pieces are kind of small. Overall, though this product has so many great features that I don't see getting bored with it anytime soon!
Instantly Draws a Child In
By Planet Weidknecht
from Pflugerville, TX
Early learning should never be boring, never be tedious, and never be forced. Instead it's better to provide learning materials that instantly draw a child in, peaking their curiosity and and encouraging them through discovery. The Super Sorting Pie from Learning Resources is one of the most engaging toys I've seen in a while. There isn't a child I know that wouldn't want to get their hands on this toy. The sorting discs that fit in the bottom of the pie are printed on both sides, giving the child six obvious ways to begin sorting. Sorting by color and shape and characteristic are all pre-math skills that preschoolers absolutely need. It also comes with two pair of giant tweezers (using them to pick up the fruits strengthens their finger muscles which is important for beginning to write). Since there are two, I can easily make up some sorting games that include two of the children at a time. Building the social skills of cooperating and sharing should be part of every preschooler's learning! The fruits are a perfect size for little hands. Learning Resources built so many developmental benefits into this toy! All the discs fit in the bottom, all the fruits fit in the pie, and the lid is curved enough to even allow for both pair of tweezers to fit in the pie when it's closed. I am so absolutely thrilled with the Super Sorting Pie. It's already won two awards and I'll bet it wins many more! I received this product at no charge in exchange for my honest review.

Okay fellow Gunconians....
I got a Suomi build started as far as parts go. I got a new 80% tube from Prexis.
I'm going to have my bolt turned down to fit the new tube per BATFE rules and the bolt will be made into a semi only. Taking the fixed firing pin out, cutting the lower lip off the bolt face and all that good stuff.
Here is what bothers me..... I keep reading confusing things on these that say just the possesion of this kit could be grounds for owning an unregistered NFA weapon? How? Why? The kit is torch cut and there is no way really to put it back. My bolt will not fit the new tube until modified. Then I read somewhere else that these kit cannot be built into working firearms.
This has me concerned? If I make one of these with a 16 inch barrel semi-auto only how does it differ from any other 9mm carbine?
This stuff is confsuing.

Apple changes policy on how they check for water damage on iPods
A source told BGR that Apple has changed the screening process they utilize to determine if an iPod has been damage due to water intrusion. Apple utilizes what is known as Liquid Contact Indicators in their mobile devices. In the event moisture comes into contact with these LCIs they become activated which will in turn let an Apple representative know that there was been water damage.
In the past Apple store employees would merely look inside the headphone jack and check on the LCI to see if it had been activated by water. At that point they were able to say the water was the cause of the issues and you would basically be out of luck. Now with the new policy not only will they check for the LCI but they are also being told to check for other signs of water damage before making a decision on what could have caused the device to malfunction.
Whether or not this change is due to false positives from incidental moisture contact or simply a change of heart within Apple is unknow. However, this could definately been a huge plus for the consumers who have had issues prior and were told that merely having an activated LCI that their warranty was null and void.
Our question is, will Apple apply the same new policy to iPhones and iPads?

Apple changes policy on how they check for water damage on iPods
My wife dropped her iphone in the toilet. One activator was triggered (headphone) the other wasn't. I told Apple about it, but they still replaced it free of charge. Obviously YMMV.
I had a false positive incident with the genius bar at Apple once. I had a problematic iPhone 3G in 2008 and when the genius bar agreed to replace it, they inspected the headphone jack sensor and saw that it had water damaged which they then denied me from my replacement.
I never exposed my iPhone to any sort of water damage. It was clearly a false positive. Long story short: Spoke to someone at apple care for about half hour and told them my phone has never been submerged or exposed to water and they OK'd me for an exchange at the store where I was previously denied.
Those sensors can go off with just a rain drop falling in there or a moist headphone tip.
Probably to do with the lawsuit(s)...
Shoulda know that wouldn't work. Add you own h tt p:
Dammit. And underscores between all the words in the last part of the link.
doesn't your phone insurance cover water damage ? mine covers accidental damage which include dropping it in water.
Moist headphone tip is often the cause of tripping the water damage sensor (which Apple use to call a submersion sensors but when it was proven they could be tripped by a single drop they changed the name).
Lots of people absentmindedly hold the headphones plug in their lips while fumbling with the phone, the case, untangling the cord.
If your headphones jack sensor is tripped the one on the bottom in the docking connector usually is not tripped, unless you actually dropped the phone in water. There are additional sensors inside the phone, but you can't see these without voiding your warranty.
That apple is requiring additional checks suggests to me they lost a court case somewhere, hushed it up with settlement NDAs, and decided they didn't want to go thru this again.
It costs then nearly nothing to replace the phone if they keep the customer coming back to iTunes or to buy the next generation of the phone.
A lot of thanks for all your work on this wetsibe. Betty takes pleasure in going through investigation and it is simple to grasp why. Most people hear all concerning the dynamic means you give valuable tactics through this blog and even invigorate participation from people on the article and my girl is undoubtedly learning a whole lot. Have fun with the remaining portion of the year. You are always conducting a really great job.
I would like to show my gratitude for your kind-heartedness gnivig support to folks that should have help with this one situation. Your real commitment to getting the solution across came to be remarkably powerful and have helped girls much like me to attain their pursuits. Your entire helpful tutorial can mean a whole lot to me and especially to my office workers. Warm regards; from each one of us.
I tried to get my iPhone 3GS due to dust on the LCD behind the class. I remember a bit of rain reaching the dock LCI but the headphone jack LCI wasnt. I was disappointed that even though the problem I had was not correlated to a tripped LCI.
Next time I'll call in to apple care and have them take care of it.
Great link.
As usual, you never heard anything about this on TiPb. Even when you tip them about these issues, which you think would matter to lots of iPhone users.
Nothing about the invalidating down of Apple patents when they tried to counter sue Nokia either.
Talking about this sensor issue on Apple's own forums got me turfed a couple years ago. Its what brought me here, where I don't get turfed, just ignored.
Thanks so much for providing inlviiduads with such a superb possiblity to read articles and blog posts from this web site. It's always very amazing and as well , packed with amusement for me and my office friends to visit your web site minimum 3 times every week to study the new guides you have. And definitely, I'm also always fascinated with all the extraordinary suggestions you serve. Certain 3 points on this page are surely the most efficient we have all had.

Things I would have changed:The spring so that it packs more punch.
What others should know:All the gun's weight is in the handle and the magazine. This makes the gun feels "toyish". I also have the Sig226 airsoft and that feels more natural in my hand but has less power. Another good to have gun in my collection.
